Ο Καναδάς ρίχνει μαύρο στην κάλυψη των εξελίξεων για τη Βενεζουέλα

Η καναδική κυβέρνηση απαγορεύει σε διεθνή μέσα ενημέρωσης που ασχολούνται με την επικαιρότητα στη Λατινική Αμερική, όπως είναι το δίκτυο teleSUR, να καλύψουν τη συνάντηση του Lima Group που θα γίνει στην πρωτεύουσα του Καναδά, Οττάβα, και όπου αναμένεται να συζητηθούν οι εξελίξεις στη Βενεζουέλα.

Συγκεκριμένα, στη συνάντηση ο Καναδάς και οι σύμμαχοί του αναμένεται να συζητήσουν νέους τρόπους (μεταξύ των οποίων και οικονομικούς) υποστήριξης της αντιπολίτευσης στη Βενεζουέλα και άσκησης πιέσεων προς την κυβέρνηση Μαδούρο.

Το θέμα της άρνησης δημοσιογραφικής κάλυψης από επιλεγμένα λατινοαμερικάνικα μέσα ενημέρωσης ανέδειξε το δίκτυο teleSUR. Η καναδική κυβέρνηση δεν έδωσε καμία εξήγηση για την άρνηση, παρ’όλο που πρόσφατα έχει δεχθεί κριτική ότι περιορίζει την ελευθεροτυπία στο εσωτερικό της χώρας.

Το μήνυμα ανέφερε: «Ευχαριστούμε για το ενδιαφέρον σας για τη 10η υπουργική συνάντηση του Lima Group στην Οττάβα. Με αυτό το email σας ενημερώνουμε ότι δεν έγινε δεκτό το αίτημά σας για διαπίστευση του μέσου σας».

Μόλις λίγους μήνες πριν, το Νοέμβριο του 2018, το Ανώτατο Δικαστήριο του Καναδά αποφάσισε ομόφωνα την ενοχή ενός δημοσιογράφου από το Vice Canada, του Ben Makuch, σχετικά με ρεπορτάζ για έναν πολίτη του Καναδά που έγινε μαχητής του ισλαμικού κράτους. Με βάση την απόφαση του δικαστηρίου, ο δημοσιογράφος ήταν υποχρεωμένος να παραδώσει όλα τα στοιχεία της έρευνάς του, γεγονός που «δημιουργεί ένα πολύ ανησυχητικό δικαστικό προηγούμενο και αποτελεί χτύπημα για την ελευθεροτυπία στον Καναδά», όπως σχολίασε η Alexandra Ellerbeck από την οργάνωση Committee to Protect Journalists.

Σε άλλη περίπτωση από το 2017, οι αστυνομικές δυνάμεις του Καναδά είχαν κατηγορηθεί ότι παρακολουθούσαν τουλάχιστον επτά δημοσιογράφους, έχοντας πρόσβαση σε δεδομένα των κινητών τους, σε μία προσπάθεια να εντοπίσουν έναν πληροφοριοδότη που δρούσε στο εσωτερικό της αστυνομίας.

Η τωρινή άρνηση του Καναδά να δώσει δημοσιογραφική πρόσβαση σε επιλεγμένα μέσα ενημέρωσης ακολουθεί τις συστηματικές επιθέσεις ενάντια σε κάθε δημοσιογραφία που δεν συμβαδίζει απόλυτα με την κυβερνητική γραμμή. Μάλιστα, η καναδική κυβέρνηση συχνά λειτουργεί σαν όργανο επιβολής των ΗΠΑ, καθώς πρόσφατα προχώρησε στη σύλληψη ενός Κινέζου αντιπροσώπου της εταιρείας Huawei, με βάση ένταλμα σύλληψης από την κυβέρνηση των ΗΠΑ.

Οι επιθέσεις σε μέσα ενημέρωσης της Λατινικής Αμερικής δεν είναι σπάνιες. Μέσα στο 2018 το Facebook είχε διαγράψει δύο φορές τη σελίδα του teleSUR.

Israel Guilty Of SYSTEMATIC Sexual Violence Against Palestinians! – U.N. Confirms

The Jimmy Dore Show   A recent UN report titled "More Than a Human Can Bear" details systematic sexual and gender-based violence committed by Israeli forces and settlers against Palestinians since October 7. The report documents harrowing accounts of abuse, including rape, torture, and sexual humiliation of detainees—both men and women—by Israeli military and prison personnel. As Jimmy Dore points out, despite extensive evidence and testimonies, U.S. media and political figures have largely ignored or downplayed these findings, while continuing to repeat debunked claims about Hamas.

Spying on Iran: How MI6 infiltrated the IAEA

Leaked confidential files indicate the International Atomic Energy Agency was infiltrated by a veteran British spy who has claimed credit for sanctions on Iran. The documents lend weight to the Islamic Republic’s accusation that the nuclear watchdog secretly colluded with its enemies. by Kit Klarenberg Part 3 - MI6’s man on Iran takes credit for “maximum pressure” strategy While leading the Foreign Office’s Iran Department from 2006 – 2008, Langman oversaw a team seeking to “develop understanding” of the Iranian government’s “nuclear program.” It’s unclear exactly what that “understanding” entailed. But the document makes clear that Langman then “generated confidence” in that assessment among “European, US and Middle Eastern agencies” in order to “delay programme [sic] and pressurise Iran to negotiate.” The reference to “Middle Eastern agencies” strongly implied MI6 cooperation with Israel’s Mossad intelligence service. In April 2006, Tehran announced it had successfully enriched urani...

Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's private military contractor hires crisis comms firm led by former Biden and Obama spokespersons

A militarized U.S. and Israeli effort to replace United Nations-affiliated aid into the occupied Gaza Strip, known as the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), has received international condemnation since its launch in May. Formed as an offshoot of a vehicle inspection checkpoint along Gaza’s Netzarim corridor which opened in January, the effort now employs two American firms led by former CIA officers and Green Berets to distribute meals in a manner they describe as designed to prevent looting from Hamas. As of Friday, the United Nations human rights office reported at least 615 killings, largely by the Israeli military, near the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s aid distribution points.  The primary boots on the ground since January, the North Carolina-based private military contractor UG Solutions led by former Green Beret Jameson Govoni, has largely operated as a subcontractor to the Virginia-based security and logistics firm Safe Reach Solutions, which is led by former CIA covert ...
