"Albanese has done nothing more than speak" — Justice Richard J. Leon. US court temporarily blocks Trump's "vastly over inclusive" sanctions against UN Special Rapporteur for Palestine @FranceskAlbs on freedom of speech grounds. Will Europe now act? Albanese had submitted reports denouncing Israel's mass killing and ethnic cleansing. She also named US companies such as Google and Palantir who facilitated Israel's actions. The ruling was made by senior DC judge Richard D. Leon who was appointed by President George W. Bush in 2002. US sanctions are still active against European and Canadian ICC judges (the legality of which was not considered) and punitive measures against Albanese could be reimposed during subsequent hearings. The EU can block the sanctions using its "blocking statute" — a move Spain's government said it would back. But will it?

Jared Kushner linked to Israeli-American brothers convicted of sex trafficking. Tal, Oren and Alon Alexander - recently found guilty in a major U.S. sex-trafficking case - had their surname redacted in the Epstein files, despite claims from Kash Patel that the files contained no evidence of trafficking. Rep. Thomas Massie later exposed the names. In December 2020, the brothers attended Donald Trump’s White House Hanukkah celebration. Oren Alexander wrote in a now-deleted Instagram post: “Spare your political views. The president just served us kosher food in his house and wished us a Happy Hanukkah.” Photos from the event showed Tal and Oren posing inside the White House. Their links to Trump-world extended beyond parties. Oren Alexander brokered the $24 million Indian Creek mansion purchased by Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump in 2021. The brothers were also fixtures in elite Israeli and American networks. Seven years ago, twins Alon and Oren celebrated their 30th birthday at the upscale Claro restaurant in Tel Aviv, with a guest list including Israeli billionaire Shari Arison and Donald Trump advisor Aaron Jordan. They were also major donors to pro-Israel and Jewish organisations, including: • Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF) • United Hatzalah • The Jewish Federation One acquaintance described the family: “They are a very positive family, big Zionists...”

Is Israel a poisonous invasive state? Hours ahead of Herzog's visit to Australia, his spokesman (2021-2023) has promoted the visit by posting an animation depicting Palestinians as cane toads, calling them a "poisonous invasive species".

NOTA DE PRENSA PARA PUBLICACIÓN INMEDIATA JULIAN ASSANGE PRESENTA DENUNCIA PENAL CONTRA LA FUNDACIÓN NOBEL POR CONVERTIR EL PREMIO DE LA PAZ EN “INSTRUMENTO DE GUERRA” El fundador de WikiLeaks alega que el premio de 2025 a María Corina Machado constituye apropiación indebida y facilitación de crímenes de guerra bajo la ley sueca; busca congelar 11 millones de coronas suecas (1,18 millones de USD) de transferencias pendientes a Machado ESTOCOLMO — 11:00 am CET, 17 de diciembre de 2025 Julian Assange presentó hoy una denuncia penal en Suecia acusando a 30 individuos asociados con la Fundación Nobel, incluyendo su liderazgo, de cometer presuntos delitos graves, incluyendo el delito de apropiación indebida grave de fondos, facilitación de crímenes de guerra y crímenes de lesa humanidad, y el financiamiento del crimen de agresión. La denuncia muestra que el testamento de Alfred Nobel de 1895 manda explícitamente que el premio de la paz se otorgue al individuo que durante el año anterior “haya conferido el mayor beneficio a la humanidad” haciendo “la mayor o mejor obra por la fraternidad entre las naciones, por la abolición o reducción de los ejércitos permanentes y por la celebración y promoción de congresos de paz”. Assange argumenta que “La decisión política del comité de selección noruego no suspende el deber fiduciario de los administradores de fondos suecos”. “Cualquier desembolso que contradiga este mandato constituye una apropiación indebida de la dotación”. La denuncia, presentada simultáneamente ante la Autoridad de Delitos Económicos de Suecia (Ekobrottsmyndigheten) y la Unidad de Crímenes de Guerra de Suecia (Krigsbrottsenheten), afirma que los sospechosos, incluidas la presidenta de la Fundación Nobel, Astrid Söderbergh Widding, y la directora ejecutiva, Hanna Stjärne, convirtieron “un instrumento de paz en un instrumento de guerra”. Esta presunta “criminalidad grave” incluye: 1) Apropiación indebida grave y conspiración en relación con el desembolso pendiente de 11 millones de SEK (1,18 millones de USD) del dinero del Premio de la Paz a María Corina Machado, cuyas acciones previas y en curso la excluyen categóricamente de los criterios establecidos en el testamento de Alfred Nobel; 2) Facilitación de crímenes de guerra, incluido el crimen de agresión y crímenes de lesa humanidad, violando las obligaciones de Suecia bajo el Artículo 25(3)(c) del Estatuto de Roma, porque los acusados son conscientes de la incitación y respaldo de Machado a la comisión de crímenes internacionales por parte de EE. UU., y sabían o deberían haber sabido que el desembolso del dinero del Nobel contribuiría a ejecuciones extrajudiciales de civiles y supervivientes de naufragios en el mar, y están incumpliendo su obligación de cesar los desembolsos. Assange señala que los miembros de la Fundación Nobel han ejercido previamente su autoridad de supervisión sobre los premios y sus desembolsos al retener los desembolsos del Premio de Literatura en 2018. “La falta de intervención aquí, a pesar de los crímenes de guerra de EE. UU. frente a la costa venezolana y el papel clave de Machado en promover la agresión” incurre en responsabilidad penal. “La dotación de Alfred Nobel para la paz no puede usarse para la promoción de la guerra,” declara Assange. Los acusados tienen obligaciones legales concretas de “garantizar el cumplimiento del propósito previsto en el testamento de Alfred Nobel, es decir, poner fin a las guerras y los crímenes de guerra, y no de facilitarlos.” LA INCITACIÓN DE MACHADO AL MAYOR DESPLIEGUE MILITAR DE EE.UU. DESDE LA GUERRA DE IRAK LA HACE CATEGÓRICAMENTE INELEGIBLE La denuncia señala cómo el anuncio y la ceremonia del Nobel han ocurrido en lo que analistas militares describen como “el mayor despliegue militar de EE. UU. en el Caribe desde la Crisis de los Misiles en Cuba” —superando ahora los 15.000 efectivos, incluido el portaaviones USS Gerald R. Ford. La concentración militar sigue en curso, ya que el presidente Trump anunció el 10 de diciembre, dos días después de la ceremonia del Nobel, que los ataques de EE.UU. “comenzarían por tierra”. La estrategia en Venezuela es parte de lo que el Secretario de Guerra de Trump, Peter Hegseth, llama un cambio hacia la “máxima letalidad, no la tibia legalidad” y de “pasar a la ofensiva”. En este contexto, Assange afirma que “Machado ha seguido incitando a la Administración Trump a seguir su camino de escalada”, incluso entrando en una conspiración para dar a la administración de EE. UU. acceso a 1,7 billones de dólares en reservas de petróleo y otros recursos naturales a través de la privatización una vez que Maduro sea derrocado. “Usando su posición elevada como receptora del Premio Nobel de la Paz, Machado bien puede haber inclinado la balanza a favor de la guerra, facilitada por los sospechosos nombrados,” declara Assange en la denuncia penal. La denuncia enumera pruebas de esta incitación a la intervención militar de EE. UU., así como elogios a la conducta del primer ministro israelí Benjamin Netanyahu en Gaza. Sus declaraciones incluyen: - “La escalada militar puede ser la única vía... Estados Unidos puede necesitar intervenir directamente” (30 de octubre de 2025) - Machado calificó los ataques militares de EE. UU. a buques civiles, que han matado al menos a 95 personas al día de hoy, como “justificados” y “visionarios”. - Machado dedicó el premio al presidente de EE. UU., Trump, porque “finalmente ha puesto a Venezuela... en términos de prioridad para la seguridad nacional de los Estados Unidos”. - Declaraciones históricas que incluyen su testimonio de 2014 ante el Congreso de EE. UU. donde dijo: “El único camino que queda es el uso de la fuerza”. El expediente cita una extensa oposición de expertos e instituciones a que Machado reciba el premio de paz: - 21 organizaciones de paz noruegas declararon: “Machado es lo opuesto a un premio Nobel de la paz”. - El Premio Nobel de la Paz Adolfo Pérez Esquivel declaró: “Dar el premio a alguien que pide una invasión extranjera es una burla al testamento de Alfred Nobel”. - El Instituto de Investigación para la Paz de Oslo (PRIO) confirmó que Machado “ha pedido una intervención militar en Venezuela”. ACCIÓN SOLICITADA La denuncia señala que “Existe un riesgo real de que los fondos derivados de la dotación de Nobel hayan sido o sean desviados intencional o negligentemente de su propósito caritativo para facilitar la agresión, crímenes de lesa humanidad y crímenes de guerra.” Assange solicita que las autoridades suecas: 1. Congelen inmediatamente la transferencia pendiente del premio monetario de 11.000.000 SEK y cualquier presupuesto relacionado restante, y aseguren la devolución de la medalla. 2. Investiguen a las personas nombradas y a los funcionarios de la Fundación y entidades asociadas por apropiación indebida grave, facilitación de crímenes de guerra y crímenes de lesa humanidad, y conspiración. 3. Incauten las actas de la junta directiva, correos electrónicos, chats grupales y registros financieros. 4. Interroguen a Widding, Stjärne y otros sospechosos. 5. Investiguen completamente a nivel nacional o remitan el asunto a la Corte Penal Internacional (Estatuto de Roma Art. 25(3)(c)). “Esta denuncia busca el congelamiento inmediato de todos los fondos restantes y una investigación penal completa para evitar que el Premio Nobel de la Paz se convierta permanentemente de un instrumento de paz en un instrumento de guerra,” concluye Assange.

JULIAN ASSANGE FILES CRIMINAL COMPLAINT AGAINST NOBEL FOUNDATION OVER “INSTRUMENT OF WAR” PEACE PRIZE WikiLeaks Founder Alleges 2025 Award to María Corina Machado Constitutes Misappropriation, Facilitation of War Crimes Under Swedish Law, Seeks Freeze of 11 million SEK ($1.18 million USD) of Pending Transfers to Machado STOCKHOLM — 11:00am CET December 17, 2025 Julian Assange today filed a criminal complaint in Sweden accusing 30 individuals associated with the Nobel Foundation, including its leadership, of committing serious suspected crimes, including the crime of gross misappropriation of funds, facilitation of war crimes and crimes against humanity, and the financing of the crime of aggression. The complaint shows that Alfred Nobel's 1895 will explicitly mandates that the peace prize go to the individual who during the proceeding year “conferred the greatest benefit to humankind” by doing “the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.” Assange argues that “The political decision of the Norwegian selection committee does not suspend the fiduciary duty of Swedish funds administrators”. “Any disbursement contradicting this mandate constitutes misappropriation from the endowment”. The complaint, submitted simultaneously to the Swedish Economic Crime Authority (Ekobrottsmyndigheten) and the Swedish War Crimes Unit (Krigsbrottsenheten), states that the suspects, including Nobel Foundation Chair Astrid Söderbergh Widding and Executive Director Hanna Stjärne, converted “an instrument of peace into an instrument of war,” through suspected “serious criminality” including: 1) Breach of trust, gross misappropriation and conspiracy in relation to the pending 11 million SEK ($1.18 million) disbursement of the Peace prize monies to Maria Corina Machado, whose prior and ongoing actions categorically exclude her from the criteria set out in Alfred Nobel's will; 2) Facilitation of war crimes, including the crime of aggression and crimes against humanity, breaching Sweden's obligations under Article 25(3)(c) of the Rome Statute, because the accused are aware of Machado's incitement and endorsement of the U.S. commission of international crimes, and knew or ought to have known that the disbursement of Nobel monies would contribute to extrajudicial killings of civilians and shipwrecked survivors at sea and are in breach of their obligation to cease disbursements. Assange notes that the members of the Nobel Foundation have previously exercised their supervisory authority over the prizes and their disbursements by withholding Literature Prize disbursements in 2018. “Failure to intervene here, despite U.S. war crimes off the Venezuelan coast and Machado’s key role in furthering aggression” incurs criminal liability. “Alfred Nobel's endowment for peace cannot be spent on the promotion of war,” Assange states. The accused have concrete legal obligations because they are tasked with “ensuring the fulfillment of the intended purpose of Alfred Nobel’s will, that is, to end wars and war crimes, and not to enable them.” MACHADO'S INCITEMENT OF THE LARGEST U.S. MILITARY BUILDUP SINCE THE IRAQ WAR MAKE HER CATEGORICALLY INELIGIBLE The complaint notes how the Nobel announcement and ceremony have occurred in what military analysts describe as “the largest U.S. military deployment in the Caribbean since the Cuban Missile Crisis”—now exceeding 15,000 personnel, including the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford. The escalation continues as President Trump announced on December 10, two days after the Nobel ceremony, that U.S. strikes would be “starting by land.” The Venezuela strategy is part of what Trump’s Secretary for War, Peter Hegseth, calls a shift toward “maximum lethality, not tepid legality” and “going on the offence”. Against this backdrop, Assange states that “Machado has continued to incite the Trump Administration to pursue its escalatory path”, including by entering into a conspiracy to give the U.S. administration access to $1.7 trillion in oil reserves and other natural resources through privatization once Maduro is ousted. “Using her elevated position as the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, Machado may well have tipped the balance in favour of war, facilitated by the named suspects.” Assange states in the criminal complaint. The complaint lists evidence of this incitement of U.S. military intervention, as well as praising Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's conduct in Gaza. Her statements include: - “Military escalation may be the only way... the United States may need to intervene directly” (30 October 2025) - Machado called U.S. military strikes on civilian vessels, which have killed at least 95 people to date, “justified” and “visionary”. - Machado dedicated the prize to U.S. President Trump, because he “finally has put Venezuela... in terms of a priority for the United States national security” - Historical statements including 2014 testimony before U.S. Congress where she said: “The only path left is the use of force” The filing cites extensive third-party expert and institutional opposition to Machado receiving the award: - 21 Norwegian peace organizations declared: “Machado is the opposite of a peace laureate.” - Nobel Peace Prize laureate Adolfo Pérez Esquivel stated: “Giving the prize to someone who calls for foreign invasion is a mockery of Alfred Nobel's will.” - The Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO) confirmed Machado “has called for military intervention in Venezuela.” REQUESTED ACTION The complaint notes that “There is a real risk that the funds derived from Nobel’s endowment have been or will be intentionally or negligently diverted from their charitable purpose to facilitate aggression, crimes against humanity, and war crimes.” Assange requests that Swedish authorities: 1. Immediately freeze of the pending SEK 11,000,000 monetary prize transfer and any remaining related budget and secure return of the medal. 2. Investigate the named persons and Foundation officers and associated entities for breach of trust, facilitation of war crimes and crimes against humanity, and conspiracy. 3. Seize of board minutes, emails, group chats, financial records. 4. Interrogate Widding, Stjärne and other suspects. 5. Fully investigate domestically or refer the matter to the ICC (Rome Statute Art. 25(3)(c)). “This complaint seeks the immediate freezing of all remaining funds and a full criminal investigation lest the Nobel Peace Prize be permanently converted from an instrument of peace into an instrument of war,” Assange concludes.

Israeli-Aligned Billionaires Seize TikTok in Battle for U.S. Narrative Control The White House has announced that the forced sale of TikTok will be finalized this week. The new ownership led by Larry Ellison - the largest individual donor to the IDF - will take control of U.S. user data and the algorithm which the White House says will be "retrained". Ellison, who made his fortune developing Oracle - a database system he originally built for the CIA - already controls CBS, Paramount, MTV, Comedy Central, Showtime, Nickelodeon (which makes kids shows) as well as Channel 10 in Australia and Channel 5 in the UK. Ellison is also expected to finalize control over Warner Bros. Discovery (including CNN, HBO and the Discovery channel) before the end of 2025. Even before the forced sale is finalised, censorship of TikTok content critical of Israel, including of the deal itself, has reached extreme levels as the platform moves to align with its prospective new owners. Fox – a Murdoch asset - is also seeking to join the Ellison consortium, a move that could enable cross-promotion between Fox and TikTok, further tightening the Israeli-aligned information bubble. Disapproval of what Israel is doing in Gaza has risen to 60% of the US population, nearly double the approval rate of 32%. The U.S. still has over three years of Trump left. Israeli-aligned Jewish billionaires control OpenAI, Google, Meta/Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp, Palantir, CBS, HBO, and most of Conde Nast (Reddit, Vogue, The New Yorker, Wired, GQ, Vanity Fair) as well as numerous Hollywood studios, regional papers and radio stations. Europe, meanwhile, remains largely absent, offering little real competition in the information space. Its one real success story? Telegram, which it managed to comprehensively alienate after France arrested its founder, supposedly for not handing over enough user data. Will the EU and other U.S. allies align with the “Israelified” TikTok algorithm, or attempt to create a politicised alternative of their own? Decentralised alternatives like Keet and Nostr offer strong resistance to censorship but are still young. Larger platforms like Telegram and Rednote carry serious risks of censorship, including eventual sell-off to other interests. For users the sweet spot may be to use both. One for political reliability, the others for a (politically temporary) audience.

One year ago today, Julian Assange began his 48-hour journey to freedom, leaving Belmarsh prison in the United Kingdom and boarding a jet bound for Australia via the remote U.S. island of Saipan. “365 days have passed, but we are light years away from Belmarsh prison. To all the supporters who helped make this possible — there are no words to express how grateful we are to have Julian free.” - Stella Assange
