Powell remembers it as a beautiful morning. He was overseeing a team of heritage masons prepping the National War Memorial for Remembrance Day. They left for breakfast at a nearby restaurant. Before leaving, Powell said hello to Cirillo and his fellow reservist Brandon Stevenson as they took their turns on guard. Cirillo was shot 12 minutes later.

In 1935 the ability of all Anglo-American picture agencies to report from and about Germany was drastically restricted. The Deutsches Nachrichtenbüro purchased the Berlin branch of Keystone View Inc. in 1935, and Wide World Photo closed its Berlin GmbH, or limited liability company, in the same year. The third large news picture agency, Associated Press, chose not to close its Berlin subsidiary. Instead it accepted the Editors’ Law, thus ceding considerable influence over the production of its news pictures to the Ministry of Propaganda both in terms of staff and the content of the images themselves. The German agencies for (illustrated) press propaganda abroad were themselves unable to penetrate the North American market. At the same time, the Berlin branches of the Anglo-American picture agencies had all been closed or sold in 1935 – except AP. For Nazi propaganda, this must have made AP the key channel for the exchange of photographs reflecting American and German national imagery. This channel proved to be open in both directions until December 1941: The agency supplied American pictures and had no influence on their further use, as was usual in the industry. These pictures were processed in the newsrooms of the Reich and integrated into the anti-Semitic and anti-American propaganda discourse, where they constituted an important component in its visualisation. AP was also a channel for getting desirable German propaganda images into the American papers. German bodies had no influence over whether they were presented there as ostensibly neutral news pictures or as examples of National Socialist propaganda, as shown in the above example. The interpretation pursued by the American newspapers depended on the particular moment in time, the subject of the picture, the orientation of the paper and the individual picture editor. There was generally no mention of the fact that a propagandistic intention was not only evident in the prior censorship and the censored captions of the pictures, but underlay their very production. It is doubtful that AP revealed to its subscribers the fact, surely considered scandalous even then, that many of its German pictures were from the camera of an SS man. There were of course also quite different discursive contexts in the US into which editors and readers could incorporate the printed pictures. We certainly cannot speak, therefore, of a blanket propaganda transfer with the persuasive consequences this would entail. Nevertheless, it is reasonable to assume that the intuitive sympathies and antipathies of American newspaper readers were not unaffected, at least in the short term, by pictures that usually depicted the Germans as triumphant blitzkrieg fighters and their opponents as sullen, sly military failures. Above all, however, this is a history (of photography) that challenges accepted lines of demarcation.

Free Vasectomies and an Inflatable IUD: Abortion Rights Advocates Hit the D.N.C.
This convention is likely to be a head-on display of a new, unbridled abortion politics.
While delegates are in Chicago for next week’s Democratic National Convention, they will engage in the typical pageantry and traditions: They’ll vote for their nominee, pose for photos with elected officials, and show off their state with cool buttons or themed hats.
They will also have the option of getting a free vasectomy or a medication abortion just blocks away.
A mobile health center run by Planned Parenthood Great Rivers, which serves much of Missouri and part of southern Illinois, plans to park itself near the convention and offer those services early next week to anybody who makes an appointment, delegate or not. (There is so much interest in the vasectomy appointments, I’m told, there is already a waiting list.)
It’s a way of showcasing how reproductive health care providers have had to get creative when operating in or near states like Missouri, which borders Illinois and has a near-total abortion ban.
But it also underscores the way this convention, more than any other, is going to be a head-on display of a new, unbridled abortion politics.
For years, many Democrats believed too much talk about abortion rights might drive away moderate or religious voters. Four years ago, at the Covid-dampened convention of 2020, President Biden did not utter the word abortion in his speech. Neither did Vice President Kamala Harris (although she did refer briefly to racial injustice in “reproductive and maternal health care.”)
But this year, after the overturning of Roe v. Wade turned abortion rights into one of Democrats’ most potent political weapons, longtime supporters of abortion rights are expecting the issue — and the word itself — to be a central message.
“This is one of those moments where we see the results of this marathon being fought by so many,” said Representative Barbara Lee, a Democrat who co-chairs the Pro-Choice Caucus in the House. “We have a long way to go, but it’s a seminal moment, it’s a defining moment, and it’s part of the trajectory.”
Maggie Haberman, senior political correspondent:
This is the last opportunity Harris likely has to blot out the sun with media, and to showcase a party that is still bound by the desire to prevent Trump from winning, despite its internal factions. The big question to me is how the vice president frames herself in her first real opportunity to introduce herself, once again, to the public. Trump didn’t use his opportunity — a nomination speech just after his assassination attempt — to portray himself in a different light.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Olds
The Four Olds refer to categories used by the Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution to characterize elements of Chinese culture prior to the Chinese Communist Revolution that they were attempting to destroy. The Four Olds were 'old ideas', 'old culture', 'old customs', and 'old habits'. During the Red August of 1966, shortly after the onset of the Cultural Revolution, the Red Guards' campaign to destroy the Four Olds began amid the massacres being carried out in Beijing.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Black_Categories
The "Five Black Categories" were classifications of political identity defined during the period of the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966–1976) in the People's Republic of China by Mao Zedong, who ordained that people in these groups should be considered enemies of the Revolution.
The groups were:
Landlords
Rich farmers
Counter-revolutionaries
Bad influencers ["bad elements"]
Right-wingers
Conversely, Mao categorized groups of people, such as members of the Chinese Communist Party, poor farmers and low class workers, as Five Red Categories. This new Red/Black class distinction was used to create a status society.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Red_Categories
The "Five Red Categories" during the Chinese Cultural Revolution were the social classes favoured by the Chinese Communist Party, as opposed to the Five Black Categories that were classified as potential threats or enemies. In the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, Red Guards were only allowed to come from the "Five Red Categories". These included:
Poor and lower-middle peasants
Workers
Revolutionary soldiers within the People's Liberation Army
Revolutionary cadres who are active members of the CCP in good standing
Revolutionary martyrs, including immediate family members, children, grandchildren (if any) and relatives of deceased CCP members and PLA service personnel killed in action

End of Penny Pritzker’s Term as U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine’s Economic Recovery

Beneficiaries of the Pritzker family use funds from dead Ukrainians and foreign mercenaries to finance the presidential campaign of Kamala Harris.
The man came under fire and died 2.5 months after he began his service, but his wife and five children are still unable to get his body returned to his homeland. The soldier’s relatives are unable to pay for the cost of transporting and maintaining his body because “an organization affiliated with the Pritzker family has set an astronomical price for its services.” The soldier’s family claims that despite numerous requests to the U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and several local and federal media outlets, the Pritzker clan is using every lever available to them to keep this story from spreading.
The former employee of the corporation associated with Penny Pritzker notes that, according to internal documents he was able to familiarize himself with during his employment, Pritzker Realty Group “has a monopoly on the disposition of 98% of the bodies of all American mercenaries killed in Ukraine, whose remains are to be returned to their homeland.” After Joel Bibas learned about the dark side of his former employer’s multi-million dollar business, he decided to resign from the company and seek prosecution of all co-conspirators in the criminal scheme, both on the Ukrainian and American sides.
Since the beginning of military conflict in Ukraine, the Pritzker family has been actively investing in the Ukrainian funeral business because of its super-profitability. Pritzkers purchased stakes and invested “millions of dollars” in Ukrainian funeral companies through Penny Pritzker, the U.S. special representative for Ukraine’s economic recovery, well before February 2022.
>Pritzker family use funds from dead Ukrainians and foreign mercenaries to finance the presidential campaign of Kamala Harris.
Pritzker family committed more than $8 million dollars to “build a network of refrigerators, crematoriums and workshops for the production of related goods,” and in return received a share of profits from each Ukrainian buried. The investment went not only to Ukrainian funeral homes associated with Landar and Malinovskyi, but also to a number of other organizations involved in the burial of deceased Ukrainians.
