the unbalanced evolution of homo sapiens

globinfo freexchange   Member of the Greek Parliament and leader of Plefsi Eleftherias party, Zoe Konstantopoulou, furiously condemned the fact that an Israeli warship illegally kidnapped activists carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, in a location between Peloponnese and Crete, within the Greek territory.  Konstantopoulou stated that the current corrupted Greek government has become a pawn of Netanyahu's Apartheid regime and connected the fact to the huge wiretapping scandal, as it has been proved that a former Mossad agent sold the spying software Predator to the Greek government. The software has been used by a team close to Mitsotakis, to trap the phones of a large number of politicians (even from the government itself), highly ranked members of the military, journalists and others. Mitsotakis regime has evolved into the most corrupted government since the fall of military junta in Greece, and according to a number of polls, its acceptance rate dived rapidly in record lows, ...

Israel has intercepted aid ‌ships bound for Gaza in international waters near Greece, flotilla organisers said on Thursday, decrying ‌the move as an “escalation of Israel’s impunity”. The Global Sumud Flotilla carrying humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza ​sailed from the Spanish port of Barcelona on April 12th, aiming to try to break the Israeli blockade. President Catherine Connolly’s sister Margaret Connolly is aboard one of the vessels forming part of the flotilla. The flotilla has said its objective is “breaking the illegal blockade on Gaza and establishing a people’s sea corridor” for food and medicines and other essential supplies. It also claims to have assembled the largest fleet dedicated to breaking the siege of Gaza, with more than 1,000 participants.   Full report:   https://www.irishtimes.com/world/middle-east/2026/04/30/israel-intercepts-gaza-aid-flotilla-catherine-connollys-sister-is-part-of-organisers-say/  

Al Jazeera English  A spokesperson for the Global Sumud Flotilla has described Israel’s boarding of its vessels as “a straight-up attack on unarmed civilian boats in international waters." Press officer Gur Tsabar, speaking to Al Jazeera from Toronto, Canada, said the sea assault is taking place “hundreds of miles from Israel” with the flotilla being “surrounded and threatened at gunpoint." “This is illegal under international law. Israel has no jurisdiction in these waters. Boarding these boats amounts to illegal detention—potentially kidnapping on the high seas,” said Tsabar. “It’s critical that all governments act now. Every government has an obligation to protect the more than 400 civilians onboard and uphold international law. Silence in this moment is absolute complicity.”

GVS Deep Dive   The United States is trying to control what the world can see in the Iran conflict. But in doing so, it may have created an opening for China to step in—and take over from space. As American companies like Maxar Technologies and Planet Labs restrict access to satellite data, Chinese firms are rapidly expanding their own capabilities. From high-frequency imaging constellations like Jilin-1 to navigation systems like BeiDou Navigation Satellite System, a parallel system is emerging—one that doesn’t rely on the United States. This video breaks down:     - Why the U.S. is clamping down on open-source intelligence - How China is filling the gap with satellite imagery - The role of space-based intelligence in modern warfare - And why control over information may matter more than control over the battlefield Because this isn’t just about Iran. It’s about who controls what the world sees—and who defines the next global system.     Related:   The rea...
