When Luis García Berlanga's "Welcome Mr. Marshall!" (1953) was screened at Cannes, protest came not from the Spanish Government but from the Americans. The Jury member Edward G. Robinson, who, incidentally, had been one of the victims of Joseph McCarthy's Un-American Activities Committee, protested at the anti-American nature of the film, and tried to prevent it being shown. The tensions were aggravated when Berlanga and the producers decided to use a promotion stunt at the festival for which they printed a large number of notes resembling one-dollar bills. Instead of George Washington, the picture on one side of the bill was the actor José Isbert and on the other was Lolita Sevilla. When the film was finally screened, only one scene had been cut: a shot of an American flag floating down a stream after the “Yank fever” in the village has subsided. "Welcome, Mr. Marshall" won one of the Special mentions at Cannes. ("Behind the Spanish Lens", Peter Besas, 1985) P.S: On this day, 73 years ago, "Welcome Mr. Marshall!" (1953) premiered in Madrid, Spain.

I also interviewed @hussedogru in February. Since then, the EU and German government repression of this journalist, has escalated to the point of starving his babies. Please listen to him.

URGENTE. Israel está volando casas civiles enteras en Naqoura, sur del Líbano, en este momento. Casas civiles. Sin objetivo militar. Sin justificación. Solo terror y destrucción puros. Este es un crimen de guerra a plena luz del día. Y el mundo observa en silencio.

Médicos sin Fronteras saca un comunicado diciendo que no han podido ingresar ayuda humanitaria a Gaza desde que empezó el año porque Israel se los impide. Mientras ponemos la mirada en otra parte, Israel sigue cometiendo un genocidio en medio de un cese al fuego.

Sicherheitszone und Abrissarbeiten? Na dann. Dachte schon illegale Besatzung und ethnische Säuberung, wie es seriöse Journalisten nennen.

Oh god. The "committing genocide made me sad" movies are coming.

HOW GERMANY SHIELDED A PAEDOPHILE FOR ISRAEL A sickening scandal is tearing through the German political establishment, exposing a "justice" system that prioritises the reputation of the Isr*el lobby over the lives of innocent children. At the center of this moral vacuum is Hartmut Ebbing, former treasurer of the German-Israel Society (DIG), the country’s most aggressive pro-Isr*el lobby group. In 2024, while G*za was being systematically leveled, Ebbing was a vocal architect of destruction, calling for total Isr*eli conquest and the criminalisation of any German citizen who dared to boycott the occupation. But behind this mask of "moral" advocacy lay a predator. By February 2025, Ebbing was charged with possessing and distributing horrific videos of child s*xual abuse. In a move that reeks of high-level collusion, Ebbing successfully lobbied the Berlin courts for a private trial, arguing that a public hearing would damage the reputation of the pro-Isr*el lobby. The court agreed. By prioritising the image of Isr*el over transparency and the safety of the public, the German judiciary effectively functioned as a protective wing for a paedophile. The result of this secret trial was a mere suspended sentence, allowing a known predator to remain at the helm of the German-Isr*el Society's finances for an additional year. But in March 2026, Ebbing was convicted again, this time for the direct s*xual abuse of a 7-year-old boy alongside the child's mother. He has now been sentenced to two years and ten months, but the scandal reveals the moral depravity of the Isr*el lobby and how it is shielded by an Epstein Class which uses political leverage to buy silence for their most degenerate crimes. Furthermore, the story reveals how the treasurer of the German-Isr*el Society was a state-sanctioned predator whose crimes were buried to ensure that support for Isr*el remained uninterrupted. @VoxUmmah @venanalysis @qiaocollective @ProgIntl @KawsachunNews @OrinocoTribune @blkagendareport @SoberaniaPod

Mientras tanto en Gaza

Se cumplieron 11 años de la desaparición forzada del dirigente social Alcedo Mora. Meses antes de su desaparición, Alcedo había denunciado hechos de corrupción en PDVSA y contrabando de gasolina en Venezuela. Según familiares, funcionarios SEBIN serían presuntos responsables. Además, como luchador social, Mora acompañaba a pobladores de la región andina en procesos de exigibilidad de sus derechos, asumiendo posiciones críticas ante políticas gubernamentales en el país. Conoce su caso 👉 provea.org/actualidad/com…

Como en Gaza, como en Líbano y como en todo lo que ponen los ojos: 1. hospitales, 2. universidades, 3. escuelas de niños, 4. niños.

Israeli settlers killed a Palestinian farmer on his own land, in front of his father. Yes, again haaretz.com/israel-news/tw…

Según relata, tras los bombardeos en Gaza, los drones israelíes aparecen casi de inmediato para disparar contra los heridos que aún se encuentran en el lugar del ataque, incluidos niños.

EU-Barbarei: Plädoyer für eine Verteidigung von Menschlichkeit und Meinungsfreiheit Bekanntermaßen schnürt die EU ein Sanktionspaket nach dem anderen, die der Unterstützung der Ukraine dienen sollen. Diese betrafen zunächst hauptsächlich Waren, Dienstleistungen und Organisationen, aber inzwischen werden immer häufiger auch Einzelpersonen auf die Sanktionsliste gesetzt. Die daraus resultierenden Folgen möchte ich am Beispiel des Berliner Journalisten Hüseyin Dogru erläutern. Zu diesem Zweck zitiere ich nachfolgend eine (bislang unbeantwortet gebliebene) E-Mail, die ich einem in Berlin ansässigen Mitarbeiter von ver.di geschrieben habe.
