slowforward 21 anni ad agosto

nel 2026, in agosto, slowforward.wordpress.com fa 21 anni.

qui su differx.noblogs.org, suo gemello eterozigote, sono stati fino a un certo punto caricati tutti i suoi contenuti. poi differx noblogs ha continuato la strada per conto suo, e lo stesso fa slowforward – per analoghe e differenti vie.

il legame tra i due è comunque forte, e chi qui scrive suggerisce di leggere entrambi, per non perdere i materiali che – nelle tante diversità – diffondono. per semplificare le cose e seguire un solo spazio, c’è un unico modo sicuro: aprire di tanto in tanto mastodon.uno/differx, che ripropone puntuale tutti e ciascun post dei gemelli, in forma abbreviata + tag + rinvio link.

enjoy.

 

17 giugno, Radio Popolare: “Via libera dell’Unione Europea ai nuovi OGM che preoccupano ambientalisti e piccoli agricoltori”

Some guy broke into my house … / Caitlin Johnstone. 2026

Some guy broke into my house and set up residence in the study room. He says his great-grandparents used to live in this house and now he won’t leave.
My family and I tried to kick him out but he got very violent. He brings in his friends and they help beat us up if we ever try to make him leave.
They keep saying I hate the guy because of his religion. I don’t even care about his religion, I just don’t like sharing my house with some random outsider who broke in here out of nowhere and took my stuff.
“The poor guy just wants one room to call his own,” his friends say in his defense. “You and your family have all the surrounding rooms in the house, and yet you have a problem with the guy having sovereignty over ONE room? That’s kind of bigoted and evil.”
He keeps throwing stuff at me and my family if we get too close to his door, saying we make him feel afraid. His friends say it’s understandable because his room is surrounded by enemies who hate him just for existing, but we don’t hate him for existing, we hate him because he forcibly inserted himself into our home and keeps throwing stuff at us.
And what’s weird is whenever I explain my situation to normal people they completely understand where I’m coming from and agree the guy is being a dick, but if I talk to the police or the local paper they always side with the guy. Almost everyone in town hates this guy now because of how he’s been acting, but everyone in power does everything they can to protect him. It’s like there’s a total disconnect between the authorities and the will of the public on this particular issue.
It’s having a nastier and nastier effect on the community at large all across town. The police have been showing up to arrest anyone who says they think the guy’s being an asshole. The paper keeps printing these obnoxious lies telling everyone that me and my family are the real criminals and the guy is actually sweet and awesome. It’s really unfair.
Things have been so tense and hostile ever since this guy showed up. I honestly think it would be better if he’d never moved in here at all, but whenever I say that his friends try to get me in trouble and claim I want to exterminate the guy.
It’s a real mess, man.
That guy sucks.

Il “Dossier Italia” ora disponibile in pdf sul sito di ‘ahida’

Dossier Italia_ ora su ahidaonline● Ahida: su ahidaonline.com rendiamo disponibile il pdf che raccoglie tutti i testi del «Dossier Italia» pubblicato nelle scorse settimane.
● Con questa iniziativa si inaugurano «i libri di ahida»
Dalla Introduzione:
Sta emergendo un vasto movimento d’opposizione, in gran parte esterno ai tradizionali partiti politici, ma sostenuto da iniziative di base come comitati e associazioni o dall’iniziativa personale di moltissimi giovani. Le grandi manifestazioni dell’anno scorso contro il genocidio israeliano a Gaza, la vittoria del No al referendum e l’enorme partecipazione alla manifestazione No Kings il 28 marzo a Roma ne sono gli episodi più rilevanti. Un movimento di resistenza o, più, di rifiuto, è nato e sta crescendo, portato ancora dai giovani, come alla fine degli anni ’60.
Per elaborare nuove armi teoriche e politiche atte a contrastare il processo autoritario in corso è necessario analizzare e comprendere l’attuale fase politica. ahida intende contribuirvi con un dossier Italia. Una raccolta di testi che esaminano e commentano vari aspetti della tendenza autoritaria dell’Italia odierna per evidenziarne le fessure e trovare gli spiragli per uscirne.

Radio Popolare: “Dialog, il club segreto del fondatore di Palantir Peter Thiel, che riunisce miliardari, senatori e generali della NATO”

Una società segreta che non è più così segreta. Stiamo parlando di Dialog, una sorta di club esclusivo nato nel 2006 su iniziativa di Peter Thiel, il miliardario fondatore di Palantir. Negli ultimi 20 anni, di questa organizzazione non si è saputo praticamente nulla. L’accesso a Dialog era estremamente selezionato e avveniva sulla base di inviti personali. Gli incontri, annuali, avvenivano rigorosamente a porte chiuse e le poche notizie filtrate confermavano l’assoluto riserbo a cui è tenuta la stretta cerchia di partecipanti.

A svelare il dietro le quinte di Dialog è adesso un’inchiesta di Wired, che […]

#memory _ Dal sito dell’Osservatorio Euro-Mediterraneo per i Diritti Umani, 28 apr. 2025: “israele spazza via intere famiglie a gaza; oltre il 94% delle vittime della scorsa settimana erano civili”

In riferimento al 2025, verso la fine di questo post due giorni fa scrivevo che, according to the known figures, every 100 people killed, “the genocidal State slaughtered an average number of 83 innocents in order to eliminate 17 members of the Resistance”. La statistica si rivela congrua se messa in relazione con vari report, tra cui questo articolo di ‘Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor’ del 28 aprile 2025: https://euromedmonitor.org/en/article/6699/Israel-wipes-out-entire-families-in-Gaza;-over-94-percent-of-last-week%E2%80%99s-victims-were-civilians

#memory _ Oct., 2025: “Israeli Soldiers Torched Food, Homes, and a Critical Sewage Treatment Plant in the Wake of Ceasefire Announcement”

«Soldiers called the mass arson of Gaza City their “final touches.”

«In the immediate aftermath of Donald Trump’s announcement on Thursday that both Hamas and Israel had signed off on an agreement to stop the fighting, the Israeli military launched an arson spree, setting fire to civilian infrastructure, including the destruction of an essential sanitation plant in Gaza City. After publication, the Israel Defense Forces told Drop Site it “is aware of the incident and it is being reviewed.”
«The destruction of Palestinian structures following the departure of soldiers who had used them as temporary bases has been a hallmark of Israel’s approach to Gaza for two years. In July, Israeli reporter Yuval Abraham collected testimonies from soldiers describing a myriad of arson methods. “Every Arab house we entered had olive oil […] We poured the oil on the sofas, on anything flammable in the apartment, and then we ignited [it] or threw in a smoke grenade. This was a common practice,” one of them described.»

#memory _ Nov., 2025, ‘Middle East Monitor’: “A devastating new study has found that more than 112,000 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip”

«A devastating new study has found that more than 112,000 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip since Israel launched its assault in October 2023. This figure, drawn from the most extensive demographic analysis conducted to date, far exceeds the official death toll and reveals a pattern of killing that researchers say mirrors past genocides documented by the United Nations.
«The study, carried out by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Germany and the Centre for Demographic Studies Spain, was published in the peer-reviewed journal ‘Population Health Metrics’. The researchers estimate that between 99,997 and 125,915 Palestinians died in Gaza between 7 October 2023 and 6 October 2025, with a median estimate of 112,069.
«The findings are based on a wide range of data sources, including hospital records, household surveys and public death notices, and take into account the thousands of unregistered deaths caused by families being buried under rubble or unable to reach medical care.»

The Max Planck Institute: https://www.mpg.de/25778228/1125-defo-gaza-study-reveals-unprecedented-losses-of-life-and-life-expectancy-154642-x

Previously, in July 2024, ‘The Lancet’ had suggested that «it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186, 000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza»: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(24)01169-3/fulltext

MEM: «the true death toll of the Gaza conflict could be over 186,000, accounting for 8 per cent of Gaza’s population»: https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20251126-with-over-112000-killed-new-study-links-gazas-massacre-to-past-genocides/

Maybe the more accurate article on the topic is this one, by Daniel Tester (Feb. 25th, 2026): https://www.middleeasteye.net/explainers/genocide-gaza-how-many-palestinians-did-israel-kill

It also reveals that «in August 2025, +972 Magazine reported figures from a classified Israeli military intelligence database [saying] that fewer than 9,000 Palestinian fatalities had been identified as alleged Hamas fighters. / At that time, the ministry in Gaza had recorded at least 53,000 fatalities, suggesting that 46,000 – or 83 percent – of those Palestinians killed were civilians.»

This, to me, means that –every 100 individuals– the genocidal State slaughtered an average number of 83 innocents in order to eliminate 17 members of the Resistance.
