Europe is not a safe place for journalists. Richard Medhurst's ordeal in Austria is part of the ongoing crackdown on journalists who don't toe the line. It also points to close coordination and cooperation between the British and Austrian security services. Last year Medhurst, a freelance journalist, was arrested upon arrival at London Heathrow Airport on 15 August, detained under the Terrorism Act 2000 for "supporting Hamas." His phone and recording devices – essential journalistic equipment – were seized. Medhurst, who now lives in Austria, said he could face up to 14 years of prison in Britain, plus 2-5 years if he doesn’t give them the passwords to his devices and perhaps 10 years in Austria. https://x.com/richimedhurst/status/1887632785378021455

I was detained this week by the Austrian police and intelligence services.
They raided my house, office, and took all my devices.
They are accusing me of being a member of Hamas and threatened me with 10 years in prison.
Journalism is not a crime.

It is a part of bourgeois myth-making that the names of exploiters who are well-known are almost always those whose elevation to the level of the super-rich was made during their own lifetimes, while those who simply inherit their vast fortunes tend to live their parasitic lives out of the public eye.
But what is less well understood is that none of these ‘rags to riches’ billionaires started life in the ranks of the proletariat. They are all privately educated and had access to family capital and connections which enabled them to take advantage of opportunities and put their businesses on the only footing that would enable rapid growth: the ability to employ the labour-power of others.

The Communists
Who is Elon Musk really?
Is it possible to be hailed as ‘the world’s richest man’ and also be ‘a rebel’ and a ‘friend of the people’?
