my best friend and i went to the WHCD, and we ended up leaving early because something felt off it started the second we got there. every event we’ve ever been to, especially at this level, there are layers of security. bags checked, IDs checked, actual process this time, nothing. we were just asked if we had tickets, said yes, and got waved through no bag check. no real screening. no line. just thousands of people packed together, being pushed through the doors as fast as possible it felt wrong immediately. like, viscerally wrong. my bestfriend literally turns to me and says “i think something is going to happen” and then it did this cannot happen. not here, not at something like this praying for everyone, but there needs to be accountability because this should never happen again
Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil was found dead after hours of searching under rubble. She was killed in an Israeli strike, after the Israeli army fired at ambulances trying to reach her, delaying her rescue. She is the fourth journalist killed by Israel while in the field since 2 March. She was a professional, kind and dedicated journalist, and always a pleasure to run into in the field.

Listen to Ola Tunander, a security policy researcher and former professor at the PRIO Peace Institute in Oslo, talks about how Palme's peace policy, including the concept of collective security, challenged American and British interests during the Cold War. The assassination of Olof Palme is discussed in light of the tension between the public and secret power structures in Sweden – Stay Behind networks, secret NATO collaborations and the intelligence services CIA and MI6. Tunander argues that the assassination was a sophisticated operation to neutralize Palme's global influence as a voice for peace and disarmament. The @Dissidentklubb1 talk about testimonies that point to a carefully planned attack, anomalies in the police investigation, submarine incidents as psychological warfare, and how the declassification of the investigation material points to foreign interference. By drawing parallels to the Kennedy assassination and other coups d'état, a picture emerges of how power elites manipulate events to maintain control, while democracy is reduced to a facade. The episode concludes with reflections on why archives are still kept secret, and how the murder fundamentally changed Sweden, and still acts as a deterrent for politicians who are considering pursuing a sovereign foreign policy free from Western ambitions to achieve global hegemony. youtu.be/3y8ZH0eMIj0?si… English translation available in settings.
