Have not been here since the very beginning, but have been around for a few years.

Yeah, the whole revolt thing. Like how the whole revolt against the "baker's union" was instigated. Drove away some good bakers and no idea how many oldfags. OSS gave me a permaban for baking a bread. I included the Internationals list, like in the bread before it and the one that followed the one I baked. OSS decided I had to go for that.

But how about what you would define as censorship? I say Vatican Dude and QSG is trash needs tossed. They just get deleted, not banned these days. So tell me, what is your idea for keeping the ship tidy?

Will get back as soon as I can. Maybe some better things from the maritime sites this afternoon.

 

US Imposes Sanctions Over Red Sea Shipping Attacks

By Jonathan Landay Reuters December 7, 2023

 

WASHINGTON, Dec 7 (Reuters) โ€“ The United States imposed sanctions on Thursday on 13 individuals and entities for allegedly funneling tens of millions of dollars in foreign currency to Yemenโ€™s Houthi group from the sale and shipment of Iranian commodities.

 

The U.S. Treasury said in a statement that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Iranโ€™s paramilitary and espionage force, backed the scheme involving a complex web of exchange houses and firms in multiple countries, including Yemen, Turkey, and St. Kitts and Nevis.

 

Treasury Undersecretary Brian Nelson said funds provided by Iran have enabled recent attacks by the Houthis on commercial shipping in the Red Sea that endanger international trade.

 

โ€œThe Houthis continue to receive funding and support from Iran, and the result is unsurprising: unprovoked attacks on civilian infrastructure and commercial shipping, disrupting maritime security and threatening international commercial trade,โ€ the Treasury statement quoted Nelson as saying.โ€™

 

The Houthis say they have been staging drone and missile attacks against Israel and Israeli ships in the Red Sea in response to the offensive Israel launched against Hamas in Gaza after the Oct.7 rampage into Israel by Hamas militants.

 

Iran denies any involvement in the attacks.

 

Washington has said that U.S. warships have downed missiles and drones fired by the Houthis although the Pentagon says it has not been clear that the American vessels were actually targeted. U.S. warships have also intercepted attacks on commercial ships that the U.S. military says were linked to multiple nations.

 

The sanctions freeze all properties and interests in the United States of those targeted and generally prohibit Americans from conducting transactions with them.

 

The Treasury said that the targeted network involved Said al-Jamal, a key โ€œIran-based Houthi financial facilitator,โ€ and Bilal Hudroj, who runs a Lebanon-based exchange house, both of whom already are under U.S. sanctions.

 

Jamal has for years used a web of exchange houses in Yemen and abroad to funnel the proceeds of Iranian commodity sales to the Houthis and the IRGC, the Treasury said, adding that Hudroj has assisted in the remittances to the Houthis.

 

The 13 entities and individuals hit in the latest sanctions include a jewelry shop and exchange house in Turkey, the Treasury said, as well as exchange houses, shipping agents and individuals in St. Kitts and Nevis, Britain and Russia.

TIKTOK: CHINESE โ€œTROJAN HORSEโ€ IS RUN BY STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS

 

https://www.mintpressnews.com/tiktok-chinese-trojan-horse-run-by-state-department-officials/284353/

 

Amid a national hysteria claiming the popular video-sharing app is a Chinese Trojan Horse, a MintPress News investigation has found dozens of ex-U.S. State Department officials working in key positions at TikTok. Many more individuals with backgrounds in the FBI, CIA and other departments of the national security state also hold influential posts at the social media giant, affecting the content that over one billion users see.

 

While American politicians demand the app be banned on national security grounds, try to force through an internet surveillance act that would turn the country into an Orwellian state, make clueless statements about how TikTok is dangerous because it connects to your Wi-Fi, it is possible that TikTok is already much closer to Washington than it is to Beijing.
