The Department of Justice is committing election interference by attempting to prosecute former President and 2024 presidential hopeful Donald Trump, US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said in a statement. 💬 “Biden’s Department of Justice is actively participating in election interference by trying to put his top political opponent, President Donald Trump, behind bars,” Greene said on Thursday. ● Earlier in the day, Trump pleaded not guilty to four criminal charges brought against him by Special Counsel Jack Smith for allegedly attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 US presidential election. Trump called the charges against him “persecution of a political opponent." Greene characterized the prosecution as “pure corruption.”

While posing as a defender of free speech, Florida’s Ron DeSantis has played point man on the Israel lobby’s crusade to criminalize American citizens for their exercising their constitutionally-protected right to boycott Israel. | Branding himself the “most pro-Israel governor in the United States,” the Florida Republican announced an official investigation into the financial ratings firm Morningstar over allegations related to Florida’s ban on the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. 💬 “Today, I am happy to make — and this law just took effect at the beginning of July — I’m happy to announce for everybody, that Florida has formally instituted an investigation against Morningstar for violations of our anti-BDS law. We’re not letting them target Israel and get away with it, we’re using our tools to fight back,” DeSantis announced at a conference of Christians United for Israel (CUFI). ● Morningstar has been accused by the state of Florida of downgrading companies that are associated with Israel. During the same event, DeSantis referred to the occupied Palestinian West Bank by its biblical name, “Judea and Samaria,” insisting it was “not occupied territory.”

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants against Russia's president and commissioner for children's rights in March, charging them with the purported "unlawful transfer" of children out of the Ukraine conflict zone. The Kremlin dismissed the charges, while Russia's Investigative Committee opened a criminal case against ICC judges. | British authorities' fingerprints are all over the ICC's decision to issue arrest warrants against Russian President Vladimir Putin and Presidential Commissioner for Children's Rights Maria Lvova-Belova, and the details of the story play out like a cheap mystery novel, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said. ● Characterizing the chain of events as a mystery ripped straight out of an Agatha Christie novel, only written by a far less talented "beginner" writer, Zakharova suggested that the ICC's decisions on the Russian president's arrest constitute what can only be described as a "cheap script made using British money."  ● The ICC issued "warrants of arrest" against Putin and Lvova-Belova on March 17, accusing them of "the crime of unlawful deportation of population (children) and that of unlawful transfer of population (children) from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation" from "at least" February 2022 onward. ● Moscow dismissed the "absurd" charges, stressing that Russia is not a party to the court's statute, "and bears no obligations under it." Russian officials and lawmakers went on to liken the court's "warrants" to toilet paper and suggested that the ICC judges were the ones who should be arrested.

Maria Zakharova / Russian MFA | I love coincidences in geopolitics. There's a twist to them. Like Agatha Christie. | Now we are going to unravel the whole chain of events that led to the politicized and legally null and void decision of the Hague International Criminal Pseudo Court (ICC) to issue arrest warrants for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russian Presidential Ombudsman for Children's Rights Maria Lvova-Belova. This script has a British author. And, to all appearances, a novice. ■ On 21 February 2023, ICC Judge Antoine Kesia-Mbe Mindua (DR Congo) is replaced in the ICC Pre-Trial Chamber by a Costa Rican representative (and Oxford graduate), Sergio Gerardo Ugalde Godinez, who is ready to serve the West. Once this was done, the English lobby had the upper hand in the Chamber. But a personal factor was needed, absolute British control over ICC decisions. So on the same day, 21 February, ICC prosecutor Karim Khan's sibling, former British MP Imran Khan, accused of pedophilia, is released early from an English prison. He had spent less than half of his sentence there. ■ The next step comes out logical and predictable: on 22 February, just the next day, an application was sent by prosecutor Karim Khan to the Pre-Trial Chamber requesting approval of the "warrants". The impression is that Karim Khan himself did not believe London and was waiting for confirmation of his promises to release his pedophile brother from prison. However, nothing happens, and the House procrastinates. ■ Then London organizes a donor conference for the ICC and sets a date for it - March 20, transparently hinting to the ICC that results are needed before that date if the Hague wants to see British contributions. Judges are easily bought. ■ On 17 March, four days after the public announcement of the conference and three days before the conference, the ICC issued arrest warrants for Russian President Vladimir V. Putin and Russian Presidential Ombudsperson for Children's Rights Mikhail A. Lvova-Belova. The ICC decisions are entirely a cheap scenario played out with British money. Except that now the ICC officials themselves are on the criminal wanted list. (Transl.: DeepL.com) (Source) (Jonathan Raa/Nur Photo)
