Eva Karene Bartlett's latest on RT (republished on blog). Excerpts:
If the country’s infrastructure hadn’t been destroyed in the bombings of 2011, the dams may have held
...Hurricane Daniel hit northeastern Libya on September 10. Subsequent extreme flooding has caused the deaths of a reported 3,252 people, according to Libya’s health ministry as of September 17, with the UN reporting that almost three times more may have died. Following the collapse of two dams, the city of Derna bore the brunt of the disaster. Another 40,000 people are reportedly displaced.
...Only Western leadership and corporate media would have the audacity to not only pretend the 2011 bombing campaign never happened, but to blame Libya for the rupture of the dams near Derna.
The Washington Post did just that, stating, “The volatility of recent years meant the country’s separate regimes and their feckless officials have left critical infrastructure in a state of neglect.” This included the dams, which, it wrote, experts warned could soon fail. While it did briefly mention the extended NATO bombing of Libya, the thrust of its article was to absolve NATO nations of responsibility.
More honest reporting in Media Lens pointed out that those dams in 2007 began undergoing maintenance—which was interrupted precisely due to the West’s so-called humanitarian intervention. “These dams were built in the 1970s to protect the local population. A Turkish firm had been contracted in 2007 to maintain the dams. This work stopped after NATO’s 2011 bombing campaign. The Turkish firm left the country, their machinery was stolen and all work on the dams ended.”
The same article highlighted what nearly all Western corporate media obfuscated: That, prior to NATO’s war against Libya, it had been “one of Africa’s most advanced countries for health care and education,” which it ceased to be when NATO destroyed it.
...Now, perhaps in an effort to whitewash its crimes against the Libyan people, the US said it will send $11 million in humanitarian assistance to Libya, which, in contrast to the $1.65 billion the US reportedly spent destroying Libya in 2011, is peanuts. Insult upon injury.
Canadian lawyer and journalist Dimitri Lascaris pointed out that Canada spent just shy of $350 million “to participate in NATO’s destruction of Libya” and will now spend “a paltry $5 million to aid Libyans in their moment of dire need.”
...Canadian journalist Yves Engler explained why Western corporate media has largely omitted mention, much less serious emphasis, of NATO’s destruction of Libya.
“To maintain public support for NATO’s proxy war with Russia, it’s important to erase its history of violence. The Canadian media’s refusal to mention NATO’s role in Libya’s instability partly reflects the requirements of Ukraine propaganda.”
Particularly bold-faced is the CBC which, Engler wrote, did a ten-minute-long report basically blaming Libya and failing “to even mention NATO’s six-month war, which included Canadian fighter jets, naval vessels and special forces.”
“We’ve been bombarded with the claim NATO is a defensive alliance representing no threat to anyone. Repeated endlessly over the past 20 months...
Maintaining the “defensive alliance” myth goes hand in hand with propaganda supporting the proxy war in Ukraine: that Russia’s military operation there was an act of ‘unprovoked aggression’ and that Western powers hadn’t been aiding and abetting Kiev in its war against the people of Donbass in an effort to turn the country into a staging ground against Russia....

A short article covering the past, present and future of microelectronics in the Russian Federation.
"Finally, it is known as I said that Russia does not have the means, nor the domestic market to simply run after the only two countries with the means to compete in silicon processes (USA and China), therefore and referring to the Soviet aircraft designer Robert Bartini "We do not have to run after them to catch up technologically, but to cross them".
In other words, it is well known that Russia is not going to catch up with the silicon leaders, but sooner or later silicon will give way to another technology to further advance computing. One of the main candidates is photonics, where Russia is in fact quite well positioned in its development.
This mentality of "catching up with the world's leaders in the next paradigm shift" is present both in the industry, as reflected in the words of Mikron CEO Gulnara Khasyanova at this week's Kazan Digital Week, as well as in the government, in the aforementioned plans outlined on 30 August 2023, a strong commitment to photonics is included."

And some interesting images from Roscosmos at the Vostochny cosmodrome.
They are carrying out the certification of the facilities for the launch and construction of Angara-A5 rockets (what you see is a dummy rocket).
The image is interesting because the main body of the rocket rotates on a lathe (like a revolver) and as it rotates the boosters are assembled to the main body. This is different from the way rockets are assembled in the west, where everything is done vertically from the first moment.
In Russia, the rocket is assembled horizontally, transported horizontally and then at the last moment it stands upright to launch. This, among other things, is one of the reasons why Russian rockets are much more tolerant of being launched in bad weather.

There is seemingly no rock bottom for Trudeau. I thought it was back in 2021 - when he called Canadian truckies Nazis and froze bank accounts for rejecting mandates he then said were always voluntary. 😲
Sorry bout them Nazis in Parliament folks, and on Yom Kippur, but remember to counter Russian misinformation!

🇸🇪 Gustav Vasa make his formal entry to Stockholm in 1523 and is celebrated as King. This was directly after the conquest of Stockholm, a battle in the Swedish War of Liberation that took place in Stockholm, Sweden on 17 June 1523. The Swedish forces had for a long time laid siege to Stockholm, which was the last Danish stronghold in Sweden. Initially of low standing, Gustav rose to lead the rebel movement against the Danes following the Stockholm Bloodbath, where his father was executed. Gustav's election as King on 6 June 1523 and his triumphant entry into Stockholm eleven days later marked Sweden's final secession from the Kalmar Union
