Today in Labor History September 10, 1898: Anarchist Luigi Lucheni assassinated Empress Elisabeth of Austria with a sanded-down file. The authorities promptly caught Lucheni. He claimed he had come to Geneva to kill any sovereign as an example for others (Propaganda by the Deed). He said he used the file because he couldn’t afford a stiletto. During his trial, he discovered that capital punishment had been banned in Geneva. Furious, he demanded that his trial be moved to a less civilized canton so he could be martyred. On October 19, 1910, he was found hanged in his cell. The authorities cut off his head and stuck it into formaldehyde and transferred to Vienna, where it was put on display in the Narrenterm pathology museum. They displayed it there until 2000.

"Mr. Landis said he was surprised that the Warren Commission never interviewed him"
I'm surprised, too. How could they NOT interview a Secret Service agent who was right there?
There's a story in today's NY Times about the forthcoming memoir by former agent Paul Landis who was assigned to protect the Kennedys that day as they drove through Dealey Plaza in Dallas.
As the story by reporter Peter Baker says: "The account of Paul Landis, one of the Secret Service agents just feet away from John F. Kennedy when he was struck down, could change the understanding of what happened in Dallas in 1963."

Today in Labor History September 6, 1901: Anarchist steelworker Leon Czolgosz assassinated President William McKinley, in the name of workers, in Buffalo, New York. However, many leading anarchists had repudiated him prior to the assassination, accusing him of being a spy or provocateur because of his reclusive and erratic behavior. The authorities quickly arrested Czolgosz and executed him 7 weeks later.

I believe the #UnitedStates and its allies need to consider the #assassination of Vladimir #Putin. It's nothing to be taken lightly, but if the threat of #nuclear #weapons is serious, removing him from play could be the best option for the #safety and #security of the entire world. Or am I off base?

"[Prigozhin's assination was] [n]ot unexpected at all. We know that Putin takes revenge on people who are disloyal. It was two months to the day after Prigozhin began his mutiny. And it’s fitting that it happened on an airplane, given that, as part of that mutiny, Prigozhin’s men ended up shooting down a series of Russian military helicopters and an airplane and killed 13 people."

Putin finds another way to get rid of his political enemies. Next: commercial passenger aircraft?

Looks like Putin has used a slight variation on the open-window method of dealing with people he doesn't appreciate.

I see the boss of Wagner has been released from a Belarusian gulag for long enough to die in an “accident”…
This is utterly unconscionable! #Amazon is helping #Israel to strengthen its #Apartheid “boot” on #Palestinian necks with its #AI technologies! Those deadly technologies will be tried & tested on Palestinians & then sold to tyrants elsewhere to oppress their populations!
“Amazon Is Investing in AI-Assisted Apartheid in #Palestine: Since 2014, Amazon has been pouring billions into Israel, contributing to illegal settlement programs and the relentless #surveillance of #Palestinians. Israel’s dystopian end goal: to compile #biometric profiles and security ratings for every resident of the #WestBank.”
