Priest Is Defrocked After Mimicking Elon Musk’s Nazi-Like Salute at Anti-Abortion Rally

It seems Saturday’s National Pro-Life Summit in Washington, D.C.
—where Vice President JD Vance told the women of America to get pregnant right now
—was even more wretched than we thought.

#Calvin #Robinson, who used to be a priest at an Anglican Catholic Church parish in Michigan, also spoke on Saturday.

Earlier this week, Robinson,
a prominent far-right commentator who moved from the U.K. in 2024,
posted a short clip of himself delivering his closing remarks at the anti-abortion rally
-- by imitating Elon Musk’s Inauguration Day salute, which very obviously resembles a Nazi salute.

The clip went viral after Right Wing Watch reposted it,
and widespread public outrage on Wednesday prompted the church to remove Robinson’s license.

Bytes Europe · Farage Says He Talked to Musk Last Week. Relationship Is ‘Fine.’Three weeks after a very public rift, the populist British politician Nigel Farage said on Wednesday that his relationship with Elon Musk was “fine” and that the two men had spoken just last week.Mr. Farage, in a brief interview with The New York Times, said that Mr. Musk, the world’s richest man, remained open to making a sizable donation to Reform U.K., the insurgent anti-immigration party. Mr. Musk has already shown a desire to wield influence in U.K. politics, even calling for the jailing of Britain’s prime minister, Keir Starmer.The prospect of a huge donation from the multibillionaire tech mogul

Elon Musk turns on Nigel Farage and calls for new leader of Reform

"President" Musk has called for Nigel Farage to be replaced as Reform UK leader
hours after Farage described the billionaire businessman as “a hero”,
in what is likely to be a preview of how a chaotic Donald Trump could affect British politics.

Farage, who is also the de facto owner of Reform, “doesn’t have what it takes”,
Musk said on X, the social media platform he owns, less than three weeks after the pair held seemingly warm talks at Trump’s Florida home.
💥“The Reform party needs a new leader,” he wrote.

Musk, 53, who has sent a mass of largely misleading posts in recent days about a series of aspects of UK politics, appeared to endorse #Rupert #Lowe, the Great Yarmouth MP, as a possible replacement, saying statements he had read from Lowe “make a lot of sense”.

Later, Lowe backed Farage, posting on X:
“Nigel is leader of Reform. He made Brexit happen, and for that I will always be grateful.
“I look forward to working with Nigel and the entire team to continue to hold this incompetent Labour party to account, democratise our own party, win the next election and form a Reform government.”

The sudden change of heart from Musk is highly embarrassing for Farage,
who had just spent much of a TV interview earlier on Sunday refusing to condemn the businessman for inflammatory comments about Keir Starmer and Jess Phillips,
including calling the latter a “rape genocide apologist”.

Farage, 60, indicated Musk’s statement could be connected to a disagreement about #Tommy #Robinson,
the jailed far-right anti-Islam agitator whom Musk has characterised as a political prisoner,
but whom Farage condemns.

“Well, this is a surprise!” Farage wrote on X after Musk’s tweet.
“Elon is a remarkable individual but on this I am afraid I disagree.
My view remains that Tommy Robinson is not right for Reform and I never sell out my principles.”

Ei jmlt.

#Musk on jo siis sanonut, että #AFD oin ainoa, joka voi pelastaa #Saksa n.

Brittien suhteen se ukko on jo mm. osallistunut #Southport in mellakoiden lietsomiseen, lahjoittanut rahaa #ReformUK:lle ja nyt vaatii natsi #TommyRobinson in vapauttamista.

Ja jengi se vaan käyttää #Shitter iä vieläkin vaan. Kaikesta huolimatta.

"The Myth of American Idealism: How U.S. Foreign Policy Endangers the World"

"Noam Chomsky Has Been Proved Right
The claim that U.S. foreign policy is guided by the lofty ideals of democracy, freedom, the rule of law, human rights" is "nonsense".

"Donald Trump incarne un #capitalisme mercantile, qui a existé bien avant l’émergence du libéralisme et de la démocratie. […] En quoi consiste-t-il ? En la production de ressources illimitées conçue comme une guerre et en une théorie de l’État où une classe de marchands doit servir les intérêts du Prince. Dans cette perspective, l’État de droit est perçu comme une somme d’entraves, par la séparation qu’il impose entre activités politiques et économiques, comme par la reconnaissance qu’il fonde des droits individuels.
"À l’heure où les ressources deviennent limitées en raison de leur épuisement, ce modèle permet de réinventer une nouvelle source de profits, en mobilisant à nouveau la fiction d’un peuple méritant qui a le droit exclusif de les capter et d’en jouir, le peuple américain blanc en l’occurrence. Il s’agit alors de limiter l’accès de ces autres, les minorités raciales directement ciblées dans le discours de Trump."
[…]
"#Robinson, c’est ce temps d’avant le capitalisme, où il s’agit de mettre au travail la terre et une catégorie d’êtres de nature qui y vivent, une semi-humanité à l’écart des aventures de la civilisation. L’individu a ainsi un droit de conquête, exprime sa souveraineté par la propriété, sur sa terre et ses esclaves. En ce sens, le trumpisme est une robinsonnade du XVIIIe siècle."

Trio of US-based professors win Nobel economics prize for work on post-colonial wealth

Three US-based professors, including two UK-born academics, have been awarded this year’s Nobel prize in economics,
for showing how the political and economic systems introduced by colonisers can determine whether a country is rich or poor today.

The explanation put forward by Turkish-American Daron #Acemoğlu, Sheffield-born Simon #Johnson and Briton James A #Robinson,
suggests that inclusive institutions set up for the long-term benefit of European migrants ended up resulting in more prosperous societies in the long term.

However, they found that in countries where the aim was to exploit the Indigenous population and extract resources for the colonisers’ benefit,
the impact has been detrimental, and resulted in far poorer societies, leaving some countries trapped in low economic growth cycles.
