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.”

UnHerd and Econoclasts     In this episode of The Econoclasts , Yanis Varoufakis and Wolfgang Munchau debunk the orthodox view that the newly established U.S. dollar swap lines for Gulf states are a charitable bailout for the Middle East, arguing instead that these facilities are a desperate signalling mechanism designed to bail out the American financial system and the petrodollar recycling machine, as the escalating war in Iran threatens to permanently dismantle U.S. economic hegemony.

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...

Cyrus Janssen   Last night, events inside the White House sent shockwaves across global markets, raising serious questions about leadership, strategy, and what happens next. At the same time, tensions with Iran are reaching a critical breaking point, with new developments that could reshape the balance of power in the Middle East. 

Geopolitical Economy Report   The US-Israeli war on Iran has caused the largest oil supply shock in history, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). Ben Norton explains how the attacks by Trump and Netanyahu, and the ensuing blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, have unleashed an energy crisis that could destabilize the global economy.  

Cyrus Janssen   Iran is now charging ships up to $2 million to pass through the Strait of Hormuz - payable in Chinese yuan or crypto. No dollars accepted. Iran is now using the Chinese currency to accept payments and this will change the future of the US Dollar forever!    A discussion about Petrodollar, why Iran choose to use China's currency, how Iran accepts Chinese Yuan payments, and what is in store for the future of the US Dollar.  

Drop Site News     Dr. Sahar Maranlou, Iranian legal scholar and lecturer at the University of London Royal Holloway, made the case that the U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is failing on its own terms — and that time is working against Trump, not Iran. She pointed to a recent Financial Times report showing Iranian tanker traffic bypassing restrictions is increasing. The blockade, she says, is “not functioning on the ground” — as Iran adapts through land trade routes and “gray zone” strategies with China and regional neighbors.

MintPress News   MintPress News founder Mnar Adley, this essential interview with University of Tehran professor Dr. Setareh Sadeghi reveals the devastating reality of US-Israeli aggression against Iran that corporate media refuses to report. With over 307 medical facilities destroyed in one month, schools bombed, and universities targeted, Iran faces what officials describe as a genocidal campaign. Dr. Sadeghi exposes: • How BBC journalists calling for Iran to be "nuked" are tied to CIA-backed regime change networks • Why Iranian women are leading mass rallies in defense of their nation—not against it • The collapse of Western propaganda as independent Iranian creators go viral worldwide • How Iran's regulation of the Strait of Hormuz is accelerating the petrodollar's decline • UAE's covert complicity in war crimes while positioning itself as a neutral party • Why Russia and China are aligning with Iran against unipolar imperial domination As Trump threatens to ...

UN Palestinian Rights Committee  On 24 March 2026, addressing the Human Rights Council in Geneva, Francesca Albanese frames the statement as both a moral indictment and an appeal for urgent action. She rejects attempts to recast the issue as one of religion or identity, insisting that “It’s not about religion” and condemning what she describes as the “weaponizing the memory of the Holocaust.” She says the international response has been grossly inadequate to the scale of Palestinian suffering, pointing to killings, torture, starvation, and what she calls the “extreme unchilding” of Palestinian children. Her core message is that expressions of concern are empty without action, telling states plainly: “They do not need your condemnation. They need your action.” She then turns to state responsibility, arguing that governments and institutions are complicit if they continue normal relations with Israel while denouncing abuses. Albanese says “diplomacy, in the time of genocide, is non-n...

GVS Deep Dive   In the middle of rising geopolitical tensions and the Iran–U.S. conflict, a powerful new AI model quietly emerged—one that may reshape cybersecurity, financial systems, and the global economy. Built by Anthropic, the model—Claude Mythos—was reportedly considered too dangerous to release publicly. Instead, it is being tested under Project Glasswing by major tech companies like Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and cybersecurity leaders like CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks. The model has demonstrated the ability to detect and exploit software vulnerabilities across operating systems, web infrastructure, and critical digital systems—raising serious questions about cyber warfare, financial security, and national defense. With involvement from U.S. institutions like the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve, this may represent a major shift in how governments approach artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and global power competition. As AI capabilities a...
