The fire starts burning in France

People flocked into the streets of several cities across France Tuesday in protest against unpopular labor reforms proposed by the Socialist government of President Francois Hollande. Thousands of workers as well as high school and college students joined the demonstration in the capital, Paris, to demand the withdrawal of the proposed changes to the country's labor laws.

The event turned violent after some of the protesters began throwing projectiles at security forces and police responded with tear gas. According to latest reports, police in Paris have arrested 130 people.

Serge Plechot, a representative of the CGT union, criticized the labor reforms, saying, "With this law they're encouraging people to hire but in fact making it easier to fire people."

"Of course we don't want the labor law, but then there's everything else. We don't want young people with no job security," said student protester Mathilde.

Other French cities, including Marseille, Lille, Nantes, Rennes and Strasbourg also witnessed similar protests. In Rennes, police used tear gas against demonstrators, who threw projectiles at security forces and blocked traffic. The event in Nantes turned violent.

Democracy Now! also speaks with Francesca Albanese, the special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territory, who says Israel's assault on Gaza is part of a larger plan of " getting as much control as possible over maximum land with minimum Palestinian people.

The US war machine fully supports Genocide Kamala!

globinfo freexchange We are witnessing an incredible reversal (only on a rhetoric level of course) of the US political duopoly. The Democrats have gone so far to the Right, that allow Trump to attack them from the Left! After being endorsed by the war criminal Dick Cheney, Kamala Harris achieved a new record on US imperialist machine favorability as more than 700 national security and military officials endorsed her for president in a letter. Kamala obviously passed the test, by exhibiting to the US war machine lobbyists her skills on contributing to a genocide and triggering another round of chaos in the Middle East. The sinister cabal of war profiteers blamed Trump "f or praising "adversarial dictators" including China's Xi Jinping, North Korea's Kim Jung-un, and Russia's Vladimir Putin, "as well as the terrorist leaders of Hezbollah," while denegrating the U.S. " As expected, they didn't bother to mention his full support to the

Exposed: How Israeli Spies Control Your VPN

by Alan Macleod Part 3 - Poacher Turned Online Gamekeepers? Before 2018, Kape Technologies was known as Crossrider and was often considered a malware company. Crossrider was a platform that allowed its clients to monetize their software by forcing ads in front of users’ eyes. Users’ computers, both PC and Mac, had their browsers hijacked, changing their homepages to a search engine not of their choosing to generate advertising revenue for the company. Although Crossrider did not produce malware or viruses, its platform was notorious for allowing third parties to distribute such malware worldwide. Thus, few people in the tech community were impressed when it changed its name to Kape Technologies and pivoted towards online privacy and protecting the public from unscrupulous actors. Erlichman told a local Israeli outlet that the name change and rebranding were necessary due to the “ strong association to the past activities of the company. ” In other words, the group had built up s

Exposed: How Israeli Spies Control Your VPN

by Alan Macleod Part 4 - Express VPN Executive, a Former Spy When using a VPN service, users place a large amount of trust in the VPN company itself. They must trust that it is effectively encrypting users’ traffic, securing their data and the server network infrastructure, and not doing anything else with the vast amount of sensitive information they are given. As noted previously, individuals and organizations use VPNs to carry out all manner of highly compromising activities online. Unfortunately, Daniel Gericke, ExpressVPN’s chief technology officer (CTO) from 2019-2023, was deeply involved in such questionable practices. A Reuters investigation series revealed that Gericke was a key member of a team of spies that hacked the devices of human rights activists, journalists and government officials, stealing their data and passing it on to the government of the United Arab Emirates. The UAE used this data to track down dissidents and torture them, according to the investigatio

How the U.S. Enabled Netanyahu to Sabotage a Gaza Ceasefire

by Jeremy Scahill Part 3 - Netanyahu’s “Coup” Against His Own Ceasefire Proposal Since early July, Netanyahu has intensified Israel’s attacks in Gaza, repeatedly added new terms to the framework, and assassinated Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas’s political leader and its lead negotiator, in Tehran. Among the new demands put forward by Netanyahu is the right to continue occupying the Philadelphi corridor along the border with Egypt, to maintain control of the Rafah border crossing and to position Israeli troops in central Gaza along the Netzarim axis where IDF forces would establish checkpoints to search Palestinians seeking to return to their homes in northern Gaza. Egypt has objected to Israeli proposals to remain in the Philadelphi corridor. Israel asked Cairo to amend a 2005 agreement, a security annex to the Camp David Treaty signed in 1979, barring Israel from stationing its forces there. Egypt rejected this, saying, “ Opening a discussion about amending the Camp David Treaty may lead
