🇪🇺🤝🚩 The European Commission admits it has used EU funds that were supposed to "fight climate change" for financing left-wing NGOs and climate organizations with the aim of silencing the voices of European conservatives in a secretive influence operation.
The funds came from the LIFE Program, which is supposed to fund environmental initiatives and has had a total budget of EUR 9 billion since 2014.
The LIFE program is a funding instrument dedicated to environmental, nature conservation, and climate action projects but some of the funds were instead used to attack conservative and eurosceptic voices according to the Austrian newspaper eXXpress.
According to internal documents, the targeted campaigns were designed in cooperation between EU agencies and climate NGOs, including planning which critics would be targeted.
According to the European Commission, changes are now to be introduced to the LIFE program to prevent future excesses.
Guidelines banning subsidized lobbying by EU institutions were already introduced in autumn 2024 - but it is only now that the abuses are being publicly confirmed.
Only a third of organizations and NGOs that received money from the LIFE Program openly disclose their income and how the funds are used, which has led to criticism of lack of transparency.
The former EU Climate Commissioner Frans Timmermans orchestrated the secret contracts with environmental NGOs.
These contracts reportedly included detailed lobbying plans specifying targets and goals. It means that the European Commission provided not just funding but also strategic direction on whom to oppose in a coordinated effort to attack political opponents of the European Commission's climate agenda.
NGOs were instructed to focus on critics of the Green Deal, such as conservative MEPs, national politicians, or parties (Austria’s FPÖ and ÖVP parties are likely among the targets) who resisted stringent climate regulations.

Futurism: "Ever since billionaire real estate mogul Donald Trump won his second presidential election, tech barons like Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Sundar Pichai, and of course Elon Musk have made no bones about shedding their progressive skin and embracing the new administration."
Futurism: "It all goes to show: billionaires were never going to save the world from climate catastrophe — they just needed us to believe they could."
🇬🇧 Exclusive: British police are making more than 30 arrests a day over offensive posts on social media and other platforms
Thousands of people are being detained and questioned for sending messages that cause “annoyance”, “inconvenience” or “anxiety”
Custody data obtained by The Times shows that officers are making about 12,000 arrests a year under section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 and section 1 of the Malicious Communications Act 1988
The acts make it illegal to cause distress by sending “grossly offensive” messages or sharing content of an “indecent, obscene or menacing character” via the internet, telephone or post
Officers from 37 police forces made 12,183 arrests in 2023, the equivalent of about 33 per day. This marks an almost 58 per cent rise in arrests since before the pandemic. In 2019, forces logged 7,734 detentions
The statistics have provoked criticism from civil liberties groups The Free Speech Union and Big Brother Watch that the authorities are over-policing the internet and threatening free speech using “vague” communications laws
🧬 23andMe’s Bankruptcy Puts 15 Million Users’ DNA Info on Auction Block
Millions of Americans who sent their saliva to 23andMe in the hopes of finding lost relatives or identifying health risks buried in their DNA now face seeing their genetic information sold to the highest bidder as part of the company’s bankruptcy, setting up a test of existing legal safeguards around privacy and safety.
23andMe has proposed a May 14 auction for the sale of its assets, which include the genetic data of more than 15 million customers. Founded in 2006, 23andMe said in court papers that the data represents “one of the world’s largest crowdsourced platforms for genetic research.”
🇺🇸/🇲🇽 CIA is reviewing its authorities to use lethal force against drug cartels
The CIA is reviewing its authorities to use lethal force against drug cartels in Mexico and beyond as the Trump administration moves to make taking on the cartels a major priority for the intelligence agency, according to a US official and three people briefed on the matter.
🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Trump: "I think if the talks aren't successful with Iran, I think Iran is going to be in great danger. And I hate to say it—great danger—because they can’t have a nuclear weapon."
🇺🇸 REPORTER: "Would you be open to a pause on tariffs?"
TRUMP: "We're not looking at that... We're going to have one shot at this. No other President is going to do this... It's an honor to do it because we have just been destroyed."
🇺🇸🇨🇳 "unclassified public wargames suggest that, in a conflict with China, the US would largely exhaust its munitions inventories in as few as 3 to 4 weeks, with some important munitions lasting only a few days. Once expended, replacing these munitions would take years."
🇺🇸🇮🇷🇮🇱⚡- BREAKING: "Israel preparing for a possible strike on Iran, and believes it can hit Iran's nuclear sites, missile systems, and air force assets. Israel may need US approval, refuelling support and important munitions," - Yediot Ahronot.
Yediot Ahronot report is surprising, in that Israel is no longer seeking a joint US-Israeli attack on Iran, and that Israel may go alone.
Israel only requests from the US to "push for a tougher nuclear deal after the attack."

🍼🇩🇪 Where do Germany's super-large families with 9 or more children live?
There is a fairly large cluster in northwestern Germany that coincides with the area where Mennonites from the former Soviet Union settled down. Eastern Germany and Bavaria on the other hand hardly have any.
