Watiting for the sentences in Paris’ (Charlie Hebdo) and Christchurch (Brenton Tarrant)

Washington Post, Aug 25, 2020

CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand — The gunman who attacked worshipers at two New Zealand mosques last year, killing 51 people and injuring 49, faced his surviving victims and relatives of the deceased in a courtroom on Monday as harrowing new details of the killing rampage emerged.

A judge this week is determining the sentence for Brenton Tarrant, who pleaded guilty in March to dozens of counts of murder and attempted murder and one count of committing a terrorist act in connection with the March 15, 2019, massacres at the Al Noor Mosque and Linwood Islamic Center in Christchurch. The 29-year-old Australian had posted white-supremacist views online and live-streamed the slaughter on Facebook.

The attacks — the worst acts of violence in New Zealand’s modern history — shocked a nation accustomed to low crime rates and little history of terrorist activity, and spurred Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to tighten gun laws.

Jonathan Marcus

BBC Dip correspondent

Over recent weeks, tensions have been rising in the waters of the Eastern Mediterranean, prompted by what seems like a simple rivalry over energy resources.

Turkey has pursued an aggressive gas exploration effort, its research vessel heavily protected by warships of the Turkish Navy. There have been encounters with rival Greek vessels and a third Nato country, France, has become involved, siding with the Greeks. Continue leyendo →

The death of money (Jared Dillian, Mauldin)

Jared Dillian

Episode 1

Over the past couple of months, I’ve been taking steps to get ready.

My personal portfolio was already organized with inflation in mind, but now every position I’m in could be labeled as an “inflation play.”

Why?

Because I believe a period of higher inflation is on the way.

And, if there is anything I learned from the 2009–2011 experience, it’s that the market responds to the fear of inflation rather than actual inflation. Continue leyendo →
