[ad_1] From July of this year, every vehicle registered in the European Union will be required to have driver-monitoring cameras in place. That’s not every new car manufactured, but every car newly registered [1]. The “Advanced Driver Distraction Warning” (ADDW) cameras are designed to monitor driver behaviour for signs of potential distraction, and then set off a warning if those signs are detected. It was first announced in 2024 as part of the EU’s “Vision Zero” plan to eliminate car-related deaths by 2050. But it’s not really about that. It’s never about what they say it’s about. Here’s where this goes… Firstly,…

[ad_1] Police wrongly want to ban a Palestine rally on Nakba Day on Friday but are allowing the right-wing’s anti-Islam rally the same say, writes Nailah Sharif, a retired London Metropolitan Police detective. Protesters support Palestine Action at the statue of Mahatma Gandhi, Parliament Square, London, September 2025. (Alisdare Hickson / Flickr / CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) By Nailah SharifDeclassified UK As a retired Metropolitan police detective, I’m alarmed that senior officers might ban Palestine marches in central London in the wake of the Golders Green stabbings. Every march I have attended as a citizen has been nothing but peaceful. There are children…
[ad_1] Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair At the end of Caroline Fraser’s disturbing discussion of three books on the waste crisis that is harming the poor and destroying the globe, she concludes, “Read them while you can, while you still have breath in your body, because they are chronicling the end of the world as we once knew it.” Her review in the April 23rd issue of the New York Review of Books is the most disturbing article I’ve read in a long, long time. Living in the postmodern West, we survive in what the Situationists once dubbed “the spectacle,” where everything is reduced to the…
[ad_1] Pennsylvania Democrat Sen. John Fetterman told Nick Gillespie of Reason Magazine that he is a “very pro-capitalist Democrat” and warned that the Democratic Party is becoming “increasingly anti-American.””There are important problems where government is needed. But government is not the solution for all things. I’m absolutely a capitalist. I revere the market and how it is able to correct and redirect these kinds of resources — to me,” Fetterman said. “What’s really changed is, is the party. And in 2024, I was campaigning for Kamala Harris there as a Democrat. It was very clear we were going to lose,”…

Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has, historically, been very public about his concerns about what is plaguing the nation’s well-being. His long, complicated history with vaccines is well-documented. So is his long-standing spat with fluoride. Unlike President Donald Trump, he is not a fan of fast food, but he is a big believer in animal protein and raw milk. And this week, he spoke about…
[ad_1] In 1893, a Harvard law professor named James Bradley Thayer published one of the most influential articles in U.S. legal history. “The Origin and Scope of the American Doctraine of Constitutional Law” made a sweeping case for the doctrine of judicial deference, arguing that the U.S. Supreme Court was almost always out of bounds when it struck down an act of Congress for violating the Constitution. According to Thayer, a federal statute should only be invalidated on constitutional grounds in those extremely rare cases in which “those who have the right to make laws have not merely made a…

[ad_1] The Strait of Hormuz sees more attacks: “In the latest incident on the trade route, an Indian cargo vessel carrying livestock from Africa to the United Arab Emirates was sunk on Thursday in waters off the coast of Oman,” reports Reuters. All 14 crew members were rescued. But in a separate incident, “British maritime security agency UKMTO reported on Thursday that ‘unauthorised personnel’ had boarded a ship anchored off the coast of the United Arab Emirates port of Fujairah, and were steering it towards Iran.” Japanese and Chinese tankers have successfully brokered deals with Iranian authorities to pass through this…
