🇸🇩🇹🇷🇦🇪⚡- Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, calls the Chairman of Sudan, Abdul Fattah al-Burhan, telling him Turkey could "step in to resolve the dispute between Sudan and the UAE".

Turkey's acknowledgement of UAE's role won't go well with the Gulf State who have strongly denied backing the Rapid Support Forces.

🇸🇾⚡- "The way Hayat Tahrir al-Sham deals with the Free Syrian Army elements in the liberated cities will cause major tensions and factional fighting. The discrimination in treatment between the members of the authority [HTS] and the Free [Syrian] Army in the liberated ...

What is going on, inside Russia? (although Jewish rule of Russia is not as bad as Jewish rule of America ... it's still bad).

The English language source that at least seems reasonable to me, is John Helmer. There is also a bit here about the role of Andrei Korybko as Kremlin propagandist. And, about a 'trade' between Putin and the General Staff, which seems to have been corroborated by the missile attack last night.

BREAKING: Donald Trump's team is exploring ways to significantly reduce, merge, or even eliminate the top bank regulators, per WSJ.

Trump advisers and officials from the Department of Government Efficiency inquired about abolishing the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.

that sounds super great, let them receive nothing when the next banks fail (right now, FDIC insures deposits up to 250K, as opposed to the EU, where only 100K are insured)

More Leftie Than Thou
"Jacobin" Magazine Celebrates A Strike Against Ol' Blue Eyes

Here at "The Gaggle" we have very little time for the "more Leftie than thou" school of thought--that's the approach to life according to which the only thing that matters is whether you take the right position on every issue under the sun from Abortion to Zelensky. No one in the world meets the exacting standards of this school of thought; any Leftie leader anywhere is always selling out to the bankers and the capitalists. The perfect exemplar of this is the unreadable Jacobin magazine. 

The other day I came across this article from 2021. It's a celebration of trade union power. And not simply trade union power, but the use of trade union power to secure political goals. Of course (and this is always the case with the "more Leftie than thou" crowd), this glorious, never-to-be-forgotten moment on the history of organized labor took place many years ago--in the summer of 1974 to be exact. Yes, almost half a century has gone by since that thrilling moment when the working-class movement of Australia mobilized and prepared to seize the means of production, distribution and exchange. 

Well, not quite. Organized labor went into action against...Ol' Blue Eyes, the Chairman of the Board, the Voice; yes, Frank Sinatra. Why? What had Sinatra done? Sinatra was certainly very rich, and he owned a variety of properties and businesses. But if the Australian trade union movement were, understandably, searching for the bright, incandescent spark that would finally awaken the working class from its slumber there were surely richer, greedier, more dishonest, more decadent, above all more Australian individuals it could have discovered. Australia was never short of them. Rupert Murdoch immediately springs to mind. Why Sinatra?
