The Ulm 5 Trial Dramatizes Germany’s Complicity with #Israel’s Genocide in #Gaza Five activists who vandalized an Elbit Systems factory aim to put Germany and the #Israeli weapons company on trial. https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/ulm5-elbit-israel-gaza-germany Hebh Jamal Sep 16, 2026 No one was injured in the action, which allegedly caused €1.04 million in damages, and the protesters remained at the scene to be arrested. Even so, German prosecutors have clearly decided to treat the #Ulm5 with unusual severity, charging them with membership in a criminal organization, #PalestineActionGermany, in addition to trespassing and criminal damage. An additional charge concerns the use of “symbols of an unconstitutional or terrorist organisation”—referring to #Hamas—based on the defendants’ use of slogans including “From the river to the sea, #Palestine will be free.” #FreePalestine #RightToProtest#ElbitSystems #Germany #Ulm5@palestine

wunnerful potential https://cleantechnica.com/2026/07/25/flywheel-energy-storage-us-qnetic-factory-wind-solar-power/ as soon as i read "flywheel" i leaped to negative assumptions that this is a silly idea, due to rapid rundown from air-friction on the inertial rotor, & mechanical friction in the journal or rolling-element bearings. then i read on & began smiling, coz instead they're talking vacuum chambers & magnetic bearings. tis terribly exciting to see if this innovation develops! yet, wot do we have instead here in straya? a cowardly fossilfool-owned govt still approving coal & gas, & paying the fossilfools for the privilege humans -- so smart, and so stupid #ClimateCrisis #NonLinear #TippingPoints #PositiveFeedbackLoops #FossilFools #RenewableEnergy #ChangeTheSystem #StateCapture #RightToProtest #Biodiversity #WeAreTotallyFscked #Misanthropy #Karma #NativeForests #StopLoggingNativeForests #FsckCapitalism #CognitiveDissonance #auspol

Authorities in #Germany also did not see a significant threat. “The security authorities’ assessment is that the potential threat posed by the group has recently decreased significantly,” an Interior Ministry spokesperson told reporters in November, noting that #AntifaOst leaders & particularly violent members were either in custody or already convicted. #law #Constitution #RightToProtest #FirstAmendment #NationalSecurity #scapegoating #FarRight #propaganda #trumpaganda #Trump

European governments have largely declined to label #Antifa as a #terrorism organization, despite pressure from #FarRight parties. In the Netherlands, the center-right government rejected a parliamentary motion to designate antifa, with the country’s justice minister telling parliament in May that it did not meet the legal threshold because there was no evidence it was an organization rather than an amorphous movement. #law #Constitution #RightToProtest #FirstAmendment #propaganda #Trump

Analysts say it can be difficult to categorize left-wing violence.…And though there is some upswing of #PoliticalViolence in the #US, “to date left-wing violent extremism has typically been less lethal than other forms of terrorism,” said Bruce Hoffman, senior fellow for counterterrorism at the Council on Foreign Relations. #law #Constitution #RightToProtest #FirstAmendment #NationalSecurity #scapegoating #FarRight #propaganda #trumpaganda #Trump

A “concept note” sent to invitees & #US diplomats this week…characterizes next week’s event as a ministerial on the “resurgence of political terrorism.” But it makes clear that the focus is on “far-left terrorists” who, the note says, are “increasingly turning to organized, deadly violence to advance their political objectives.” The ministerial is an opportunity to strengthen cooperation in intelligence-sharing & law enforcement, the note says. #law #RightToProtest #FirstAmendment #Trump

Several current & former #counterterrorism officials across #Republican & #Democratic admins, as well as #Europeans, say the #Trump admin’s emphasis is misapplied. “The Europeans were much more concerned about right-wing terrorism than left-wing terrorism” in the first Trump admin & the Biden admin, said one former official who worked in both. That is still where most Europeans are, acc/to US & European officials. #law #Constitution #RightToProtest #FirstAmendment #FarRight #propaganda

In late May, the #State Dept held a meeting in The Hague on #antifa & left-wing “terrorism”, convening law enforcement & #counterterrorism officials from mostly European countries, acc/to two people familiar with the event. The Dutch declined to co-host, so it took place at the #US Embassy there, one person said. The event, acc/to these people, fell flat. Many of the invitees’ view was “we don’t see it quite the way you do,” said one of the people. #law #RightToProtest #FirstAmendment #Trump

That was followed in early June by a gathering at the US Institute of Peace to try to convince #State Dept personnel that “far-left political terrorists” were a growing threat to the country, but that event apparently was also a “dud,” acc/to Puck News. About an hour into the event, organizers sent out an email blast telling people they could still join, if they wanted, Puck reported. #law #Constitution #RightToProtest #FirstAmendment #NationalSecurity #FarRight #propaganda #trumpaganda #Trump

Undeterred, the #State Dept in mid-June sent a cable to >20 US embassies — from Argentina & Mexico to Italy & Albania — seeking information on far-left extremist groups, acc/to two people familiar with the matter. Several have responded, but none has indicated they concur with the #Trump admin’s assessment of the threat, one person said. #law #Constitution #RightToProtest #FirstAmendment #NationalSecurity #scapegoating #FarRight #propaganda #trumpaganda

In November, the #State Dept announced the designations of 4 #European groups as foreign #terrorist organizations, including a militant group in Germany that calls itself #AntifaOst . 2 more were in Greece & 1 in Italy. Designation, which is done by the secy of state, is based on criteria that include the assessment that the group poses a direct threat to #US #NationalSecurity interests. #law #Constitution #RightToProtest #FirstAmendment #scapegoating #FarRight #propaganda #trumpaganda #Trump

The designations of the 4 groups were met with skepticism among experts. “They’re very peculiar,” said Blazakis, who is now a professor at Middlebury Institute & teaches about violent #extremism. “Those groups have carried out acts of vandalism. They’ve harmed individuals. But they don’t have a casualty to their name.” #law #Constitution #RightToProtest #FirstAmendment #NationalSecurity #scapegoating #FarRight #propaganda #trumpaganda #Trump

The others received prison terms of 30 to 70 years on charges such as rioting, providing support to terrorists & conspiracy to use & carry explosives. [so all #Jan6 offenders should suffer the same fate] Defense attorneys called the prosecution politically motivated. #law #Constitution #RightToProtest #FirstAmendment #NationalSecurity #scapegoating #FarRight #propaganda #trumpaganda #Trump
