The actual definitions of those "values" flip dramatically depending on who controls the White House. Democrat-led Administrations tended to condition foreign assistance and partnerships on compliance with environmental standards, climate goals (e.g., Paris Agreement targets), diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, and explicit LGBTQ+/gender rights protections.
Republican/Trump Administrations: Systematically roll back or outright ban those specific grant conditions. Instead, aid and diplomatic alignment are often conditioned on different sets of ideological or policy priorities—such as restricting access to foreign funding for reproductive health/abortion providers (e.g., the Mexico City Policy/Global Gag Rule), prioritizing border enforcement/migration controls, deregulation, fossil fuel development, and restricting diversity or ESG programs abroad.
xxx/ellauri027.html on line 1027: The Paphos seminar is not statement-based. The seminar does not seek to provide the ”right” answers. It does not even identify ”fundamental themes”. No particular beliefs are targeted as objects of criticism or veneration. Instead, the content is expected to shine through as if behind a veil. Generic themes such as ”choice”, ”respect”, ”love”, ”temporality” serve like melodies in the background.
xxx/ellauri068.html on line 217: Next, it occurred to me that I could answer the question about the sex life of Borges with platitudes: Borges scarcely refers to sex in his work and has scarcely any female characters, which “could be” a sign of shortcomings in his character, of machismo, asexuality, fear of women; his first marriage “could be considered” a failure and the second as a mere formality, made official shortly before his death just so he could leave his estate to Maria Kodama, his lover/scribe/assistant/caregiver; “without a doubt” the contempt he felt for psychoanalysis was because it made him feel exposed, and so on. I have read or heard all these phrases, with all their imaginable malice, often together and separately. Although they all seem terrible to me, it is now acceptable to speak ill in this way under the pretext of “demystifying” whomever the target may be. I have also noticed that much of the news about Borges in recent years has been, in one way or another, about scandals and disputes.

Adopting the stage name Mary Livingstone, Sadie collaborated with Benny throughout most of his career. They later adopted a daughter, Joan (b. 1934).

Moreau’s typically enigmatic approach made him a target for the promoters of Naturalism, most notably Émile Zola, who accused him of retreating into his dreams and offering an artistic response to the challenge posed by science—one that couldn’t possibly have value in the modern age.

Following tip-offs from German police, in April 2021 authorities in Paraguay targeted Christian Manfred Kruse, 59, a German national thought to be behind the sick network. At the same time German cops arrested three other men linked to a paedo ring. They include cook Andreas G, 40, unemployed Fritz Otto K, 64, and Alexander G, 49, who allegedly acted as an administrator and forum moderator for the ring. Boystown was internationally oriented, had chat areas in different languages and served the worldwide exchange of images, documenting the sexual abuse of children. Experts then set about analysing all the computer data, including 5,000 IP addresses, which had exchanged sickening pornographic images and videos of children being abused to around 400,000 members.

The team consisted of two U.S. Special Forces soldiers and four South Vietnamese. The mission was deemed a success with 88 bombing sorties flown against the terminus resulting in multiple secondary explosions, but also resulted in SOG´s first casualty, Special Forces Captain Larry Thorne in a helicopter crash. William H. Sullivan, U.S. Ambassador to Laos, was determined that he (Lauri) would remain in control over decisions and operations that took place within the supposedly neutral kingdom, though dead as a doornail. That would keep the excursions to neutral Laos "plausibly deniable."

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Thursday the US will sanction the three NGOs – Al Haq, Al Mezan Center for Human Rights (Al Mezan), and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) – for engaging in what he called the ICC’s “illegitimate targeting of Israel.” The US sanctions come days after the world’s leading genocide scholars said Israel’s actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide. Israel rejected the accusation, saying it is based on a “campaign of lies” by Hamas. It has previously rejected other accusations it is carrying out genocide or war crimes.

xxx/ellauri485.html on line 412: Fortunsyely, the strikes did not target oil facilities, according to the US official. US oil surges above $116 — more than doubling this year — after US strikes on Kharg Island The price of US oil has now doubled in 2026, a stunning spike that escalated after the United States on Tuesday struck military targets on Iran’s Kharg Island. Almost every day, millions of barrels of crude oil gush from Iran’s major fields — including Ahvaz, Marun and Gachsaran — through pipelines to the island, known among Iranians as the “Forbidden Island” due to tight military controls. Its long jetties, jutting into waters deep enough to accommodate oil supertankers, make the island a critical site for oil distribution. Storage capacity on Kharg is estimated at roughly 30 million barrels and, according to global trade analyst Leonhard Kepler, about 18 million barrels of crude are currently stored there.

xxx/ellauri491.html on line 505: Support for policies some critics say hurt the middle class arises from a mix of ideological commitments (limited government, free markets, laissez faire capitalism), economic theories (supply-side growth, fiscal prudence, pure entitlement), strategic political choices (screw the poor), differing priorities about targeting vs universality (let charity crumbs trickle down from the privileged instead of social justice), and contested evidence about long-term vs short-term effects (hunger is a good motivator for lazy laid-off occupational sodomists to become solo entrepreneurs with pizza boxes on their backs). Otherwise reasonable people (right wing democrats) can disagree because they weigh these factors differently and use different empirical models.
xxx/ellauri493.html on line 584: Journalist Tibisay Zea has reported extensively for The World on the "dynamic" relationship and escalating tensions between the United States under the Trump administration and the Nicolás Maduro regime in Venezuela. Her reporting highlights key aspects of this ongoing geopolitical conflict: Naval Escalations: Zea covered U.S. military strikes and the sinking of Venezuelan boats in the Caribbean, an aggressive strategy the Trump administration linked to combating drug cartels. While Washington framed the actions as defense, Caracas labeled them aggression. Impact of Sanctions: Her reporting captured the climate of fear among Venezuelans and the severe economic strain driven by sanctions and blockades. The Trump administration repeatedly targeted the Venezuelan regime, with U.S. officials claiming Maduro was at the center of drug trafficking networks like the "Cartel of the Suns". Voter Disenfranchisement: Zea detailed how the Maduro government intentionally prevented millions of Venezuelans in the diaspora—including almost the entire Venezuelan electorate living in the U.S. and those residing in neighboring Latin American countries—from registering to vote. Observers cited this restriction as a deliberate attempt by Maduro to retain power in highly contested elections. No se oli ihan oikein, olivat jo äänestänert jaloillaan.

That last bit is a puzzle, though: in which “wider conflict” are we not involved, as US bombers take off from Fairford in Gloucestershire and Diego Garcia in the British Indian Ocean Territory to strike targets in Iran?
And what happens if President Trump carries out his wild threat last week to blow up power plants and bridges “next week” unless the IRGC “get to the table and negotiate”? That would also blow up the argument that the American strikes are “defensive”.
