I mer enn ti år har Kongsberg Gruppens kunde videresolgt avansert undervannsteknologi fra Norge og Vesten til Russland. Teknologien benyttes til militære installasjoner langs sjøbunnen i Barentshavet.
Norsk teknologi kan ha bidratt til å beskytte Putins atomvåpen
Hvordan kunne det norske utstyret fra Kongsberg Gruppen ende opp her?

A local councillor was just asking me if I'm planning to install a heat pump. Dunno, are they planning to let us continue living here for the duration of the payback period? They're so blind to what this 'debate' does at a community level.
The entire response is unnerving, serving only to further normalise chilling ideals such as “cultural cohesion”.
“We welcome those who come to this country, legally, and give more than they take. We believe the right to stay here must not be automatic, but that those who play their part should be able to earn that right."
While I appreciate the sonic design of this programme, I’m finding myself in a familiar place of exasperation. Here is another philosophical exploration of the Findhorn Community’s magical origin story, evoking hippie era nostalgia and existential wonder, while missing the more relevant human story.

Un-British now.
I’m going to assume she is aware of how loaded and irresponsible that rhetoric is, especially when spoken on behalf of a sitting government.

Thanks so much, I will check it out.
I haven't posted here in a while due to the surprising and debilitating onset of what appears to be M.E/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or possibly Long Covid.

Tips and advice from anyone with experience of navigating the NHS and other UK resources are welcome.

UK people! We need your signature on this petition to amend the coercive control legislation to include group coercion, such as happens in cults. Please share widely.

Existing coercive control legislation offers protection to victims of domestic and intimate partner abuse. And, as a former cult member, I am acutely aware of the (psychological, sexual, economic) coercive control that still goes unchecked within a vast number of cultlike groups.

I wish you so well with these performances and would have loved to see Cult Piece! Really brave and inspiring.
Yeah…….I bet that comes in handy for him sometimes.
How infuriating. And the attempt at creating distance between himself and his actions by speaking of his guru-persona in the third person. 👀

Eastern Europeans have a long record of deposing corrupt autocrats through peaceful protest. Let's see if the Serbs succeed for the second time in 25 years.

A brave and exposing story about growing up in the Rajneesh communes, detailing the cultural normalisation of sexual abuse perpetrated by adult members.
To me, this new-age setting feels familiar with its lack of boundaries and accountability. And the word “juicy” will forever make me want to barf.

Rachel and Sarito delve into the themes of trauma, the quest for connection, and the importance of recognizing and validating one’s emotions in the aftermath of cultic experiences.Sarito's story is a testament to resilience, exploring how she transformed her pain into purpose as a writer. She emphasizes the healing power of art and creativity while also advocating for awareness around the hidden traumas faced by children raised in cults.Sarito's gripping memoir, In the Shadow of Enlightenment: A Girl's Journey through the Osho Rajneesh Cult, is now available:https://www.saritocarroll.com/Connect with us on social media:- Facebook: facebook.com/indoctrinationpodcast- Instagram: instagram.com/indoctrinationpodcast- Twitter: twitter.com/_indoctrinationYour support is vital!

EU har ikkje for vane å jobba særleg fort, men no er dei i gang med å byggja ein ny tryggleiksinfrastruktur for kontinentet.

Dette burde Noreg vore del av.
Important point in the EUCO conclusions from today:

4. e) peace must respect Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity.

= no sell-out peace at Ukraine’s cost
