Organizers played a heartwarming tribute video to Kirk that included a viral clip of him giving life advice to a 13-year-old girl at a Turning Point USA event.

The rally was organized by activist Tommy Robinson, who said the video was shown to thank and «honor the life of one of our generation’s greatest.» Elon Musk also appeared via video link and condemned the left as «the party of murder» following Kirk’s death.

Robinson billed the march as a demonstration for free speech, saying it was also held in defense of British heritage and culture.

«A man who inspired a generation of young men based on courage and based on faith,» Robinson told the cheering crowd, which also sang Kirk’s name.

«In honor of Charlie Kirk and in honor of freedom on the 13th we march,» Robinson wrote in a social media post earlier in the week.

One demonstrator carried a sign reading, «Freedom of speech is dead. RIP Charlie Kirk,» according to The Associated Press.

Aerial shots showed streams of demonstrators carrying the St. George’s red-and-white flag of England and the Union Jack. Many chanted, «We want our country back.»

Police estimated the crowd at about 110,000 people, while organizers claimed the figure was in the «millions.» A rival protest drew about 5,000 marchers.

Musk condemned the killing of Kirk, who was fatally shot on Wednesday at the University of Utah. Tyler Robinson, 22, has been arrested for the crime.

«You see how much violence there is on the left, with our friend Charlie Kirk getting murdered in cold blood this week, and people on the left celebrating it openly,» Musk said. «The left is the party of murder.»

Robinson praised Musk for purchasing Twitter and lifting bans on right-wing commentators, saying Saturday’s event would not have been possible without him.

He added that the British public was «telling the world they’re ready to fight back,» linking that directly to Musk giving them a platform.

Robinson told the crowd in a hoarse voice that migrants now had more rights in court than the «British public, the people that built this nation.»

The marches come as the U.K. is riven by debate over migrants crossing the English Channel in overcrowded boats to arrive without authorization.

Musk warned of the dangers of stifling free speech and said the U.K. was at a critical point in its history.

«You can’t get to the truth without freedom of speech, without active debate… the essence of democracy is a government for the people, by the people.»

He added that the U.K. was in danger of losing its identity due to mass migration, accusing the BBC of being «complicit in the destruction of Britain.» He also claimed mass migration was being used to import new voters.

«I see a rapidly increasing erosion of Britain with massive, uncontrolled migration and a government that has failed in its duty to protect its citizens.»

«Britain is at a fork in the road — to darkness or greatness — and that will be decided only in a matter of years.»

¿Paquetes al espacio?: Viajar en cohete y dormir en una estación espacial privada, ida y vuelta por 100 millones de dólares

Published

on


Con Haven-1, un cilindro de cuatro metros de diámetro y diez metros de longitud, la empresa estadounidense Vast entra en la carrera para construir la primera estación espacial privada del mundo.

El lanzamiento del proyecto, con un interior de paneles de madera y una gran cúpula de observación terrestre, está previsto para mayo de 2026. El espacio fue diseñado para ser «cómodo», explica Andrew Feustel, exastronauta de la NASA y ahora asesor de Vast, al margen de la Web Summit de Lisboa.

«Tendrá una vida útil de tres años, durante los cuales prevemos enviar cuatro veces a un equipo de cuatro personas«, añade Feustel, quien pasó más de 200 días en el espacio a lo largo de su carrera.

Vast, fundada en 2021 por el multimillonario de las criptomonedas Jed McCaleb, aspira a largo plazo a sustituir la Estación Espacial Internacional (EEI), que quedará fuera de servicio en 2030, por Haven-2, una versión más grande de Haven-1.

La empresa, con sede en California, compite en el sector con Axiom Space, Voyager Space (que trabaja con Airbus), y la empresa de Jeff Bezos, Blue Origin, que colabora con Sierra Space.

Todos buscan conseguir financiamiento de la NASA, con montos que podrían ser de 1.000 a 1.500 millones de dólares, para el desarrollo de estaciones espaciales comerciales y cuyas partidas se asignarán en abril de 2026.

«Voluntad política»

«Hay voluntad política. Las agencias espaciales ya no quieren tener que gestionar la infraestructura» de la EEI, dice Ugo Bonnet, director general del Spaceflight Institute, que propone formaciones para futuros astronautas de vuelos tripulados privados.

La NASA quiere centrarse en sus proyectos de misiones tripuladas a la Luna y de exploración de Marte, un sector en el que compite con China.

Todo ello supone una gran ocasión para las compañías privadas.

Hay muchos actores que llegan con «calendarios muy agresivos», reconoce Roberto Angelini, director científico y de exploración de Thales Alenia Space.

La empresa conjunta entre Thales y la italiana Leonardo está construyendo los tres módulos presurizados de la futura estación de Axiom Space, que podría estar operativa en 2028, y firmó un acuerdo de colaboración para participar potencialmente en la fabricación de la estación Orbital Reef, de Blue Origin.

Modelo económico

La NASA gasta entre 3.000 y 4.000 millones de dólares al año para mantener la EEI en órbita, dos tercios de los cuales se destinan al reabastecimiento.

La irrupción de los lanzadores reutilizables de SpaceX revolucionó el sector, porque reduce el costo del transporte y allana el camino para estos proyectos de estaciones espaciales privadas.

Vast tiene previsto enviar Haven-1 en órbita con el cohete Falcon 9 de la empresa de Elon Musk. Los astronautas «privados» de Axiom Space viajarán a bordo de su cápsula Crew Dragon.

«Hace 15 o 20 años, enviar un kilogramo al espacio costaba 60.000 dólares», detalla Bonnet. «Cuando Starship, el lanzador de SpaceX, esté operativo en 2030, el costo será inferior a 200 dólares por kilogramo«, añade.

Con todo, gestionar una estación espacial comercial supondrá una suma colosal.

«No estoy segura de su rentabilidad a largo plazo», estima por su parte Béatrice Hainaut, investigadora en políticas espaciales del Instituto francés de Investigación Estratégica de la Escuela Militar.

Para conseguir ingresos, las empresas confían en la demanda creciente por parte de gobiernos y del sector privado

Vast prevé que el 85% de los ingresos de sus misiones tripuladas provendrá de agencias gubernamentales y el 15% de clientes privados.

La idea es convertirse en «proveedor de servicios» no solo para Estados Unidos, sino también para otros países que quieran «enviar a sus astronautas en órbita terrestre baja para entrenarse y realizar investigaciones», explica Feustel.

La República Checa y una decena de países ya manifestaron su interés en colaborar con Vast, agrega.

A nivel de clientes privados, podrían ser institutos de investigación, hospitales y empresas que quieran llevar a cabo experimentos o fabricar productos en el espacio.

¿El precio del viaje? «Menos de 100 millones de dólares«, estima Feustel.

Comey and James challenge Trump appointee’s legitimacy in federal court hearing

Published

on


NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James are aiming to convince a federal judge on Thursday that Lindsey Halligan, who brought criminal charges against both of them, is an unlawful U.S. attorney.

Lawyers for Comey and James plan to make their arguments during a hearing in Virginia to Judge Cameron Currie, a Clinton appointee tasked with deciding Halligan’s fate.

President Donald Trump installed Halligan in September as the top prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia days after ousting Erik Siebert, who opposed charging Comey and James, two of the president’s top political nemeses. Amid the change, Trump posted a remarkable message to Attorney General Pam Bondi on Truth Social, indicating that he wanted revenge for his own prior prosecutions and that Bondi needed to act fast.

Halligan, a former insurance lawyer with no prosecutorial experience, brought the indictments almost immediately. Her name was the lone signature on each of them, and no Virginia prosecutors joined the case.

In court briefs, Comey’s and James’ lawyers have said Halligan’s appointment was defective because Bondi improperly designated her as an interim U.S. attorney after Siebert had already served in that position, which had a 120-day term limit that had expired.

Because Halligan was the lone prosecutor to sign the grand jury indictments, legal experts have said that could be their fatal flaw if the courts deem her invalid.

Bondi has since said she retroactively ratified the indictments and designated Halligan a «special attorney» for the «avoidance of doubt,» according to court filings.

«In all events, the government has endorsed the prosecutions, and the Attorney General has personally ratified the indictments to obviate any question as to their validity,» DOJ lawyers wrote.

Halligan’s appointment came as part of a series of maneuvers the Trump administration has made to bypass the Senate confirmation process and keep in place his preferred appointees in temporary capacities using loopholes in federal vacancy laws. Federal judges in New Jersey, California and Nevada have disqualified appointees in those states, and the New Jersey case is now pending before an appellate court. The issue could be bound for the Supreme Court.

Comey’s lawyers argued in court papers that Currie, the judge presiding over the issue, «should reject the government’s machinations.»

Both have pleaded not guilty and have argued their indictments should be tossed out on the grounds that Halligan was improperly appointed and that they were selectively and vindictively prosecuted.

If Comey’s and James’ charges were to be thrown out, it is unclear what would happen. The DOJ could appeal or attempt to bring them again, depending on how the courts rule.

Argentina reveals secret WWII files on Hitler’s henchmen who fled before, after the war

Published

on


NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Multiple documents featuring some of the worst Nazi war criminals were released and declassified earlier this year by Argentine President Javier Milei. The more than 1,850 documents comprise thousands of pages detailing the South American country’s efforts to track and verify the whereabouts of thousands of Nazis who fled Europe after World War II.

The catalyst for the effort came from the Senate Judiciary Committee and Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who was credited by the Simon Wiesenthal Center for his efforts in getting Milei to release the documents. 

Most of the materials relate to investigations carried out between the late 1950s and the 1980s and were digitized and made available on the nation’s General Archive website, along with secret, declassified presidential decrees from 1957 to 2005. 

The original batch of documents released online is divided into seven large files roughly centered around the main Nazi criminals covered in them. There are multiple documents related to Adolf Eichmann, the engineer of the «Final Solution,» the plan for the extermination of European Jewry. He lived under the name Ricardo Klement around Buenos Aires until being captured by Mossad agents on Argentine soil and taken in a secret operation to stand trial in Jerusalem in 1960.

Eichmann’s case features prominently in the files and there is contradicting evidence that the leftist, populist government of Juan Perón not only knew Eichmann was in the country but also made efforts to protect him.

Multiple documents also exist detailing the lives of Josef Mengele, the «angel of death» doctor from Auschwitz-Birkenau camps who lived in Argentina and escaped to Paraguay and Brazil, where he died in 1979.

Documents detailing the hunt for Martin Bormann, Hitler’s lieutenant and right-hand man, as well as Croatian murderer, Ante Pavelic, deputy führer and defector Rudolf Hoess and the so-called «butcher of Lyon,» Klaus Barbie, received special attention in the files.

According to Harley Lippman, a member of the United States Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad and a board member of the European Jewish Association, the relevance of the release of the Argentinian documents cannot be understated.

«There are numerous questions that these documents can bring light to why a sophisticated society, far from the plagues of European antisemitism such as Argentina’s, agreed to hide Nazi criminals and their secrets for so long. What happened to the U-boats loaded with Nazi gold brought to the country and given to the authorities?» he asked.

«On the one hand, it is shameful that Argentina kept these documents a secret for so long, but on the other hand, we also need to acknowledge the enormous efforts being made by this government to make these documents public. While the historical significance is important, this is more important for Argentinians to be able to confront their demons as a society than for Jews,» Lippman said.

Adding to the large reveal, in May, while the Supreme Court of Argentina was undergoing renovations and transferring document collections to museums, a forgotten trove of 83 boxes of Nazi documents was discovered almost untouched in the basement of the institution. Upon inspection, the crates revealed documents intercepted by Argentine customs in 1941, sent from the German Third Reich Embassy in Tokyo, Japan, to Argentina’s capital, Buenos Aires, aboard the Japanese steamer Nan-a-Maru.

The documents had been sent as personal effects of embassy personnel but were intercepted under orders of the country’s minister for foreign affairs in order not to undermine Argentina’s neutral position in the war. The shipment became the subject of a probe by a commission investigating «anti-Argentine activities,» which led to the seizure and possession of the crates by the country’s supreme court, where they remained for nearly 84 years.

The finding of the boxes revealed multiple materials intended to propagate and consolidate the Third Reich’s and Hitler’s ideologies in Argentina and South America, possibly in an effort to bring neutral countries under the auspices of Germany.

The document recounts an Argentine police report describing a German fugitive, Walter Flegel, believed by some to be Martin Bormann, Hitler’s former deputy, living under a false identity in Argentina. It was later proven that the lead was incorrect and that Flegal was not Borman. Earlier this year, Argentina President Javier Milei declassified and released over 1,850 documents detailing Argentina’s efforts to track and verify the whereabouts of thousands of Nazi war criminals. (General Archives of the Government of Argentina)

After opening the boxes along with prominent members of the country’s Jewish community, the court issued a statement saying that «given the historical relevance of the find and the potential crucial information it could contain to clarify events related to the Holocaust,» an exhaustive survey of all the material was ordered.

The contents of the crates have not yet been made public, but Milei’s office has said that once all the documents have been digitized, they will also be declassified and made available.

Argentina’s chief of the Cabinet of Ministers, Guillermo Francos, has previously said Milei gave the order «because there is no reason to continue withholding that information, and it is no longer in the interest of the Republic of Argentina to keep such secrets.»

«Jews after World War II lived a golden age of about 80 years where antisemitism had subsided, at least apparently, and they could be productive and contributing members of society. This has now ended — partially because of the genocide committed against Israelis by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023, with world opinion projecting on Israelis and Jews the false role of perpetrators of genocide in the war in Gaza, but also by bringing back the same old antisemitic views that had been alive in Germany and before then,» Lippman says.

«The fact that many people under 30 do not know or understand [the meaning of] the Holocaust is part of the reason why antisemitism is on the rise again. «The Holocaust was the largest systematic industrial killing of humans in history. This happened only 80 years ago. Young people seem not to be able to grasp the scale of this, but these documents can bring back the memory of what the Holocaust really was,» he said, comparing the propaganda war currently faced by Israel and Jews under a progressive and projectionist guise.

Beyond the lives of senior Nazis who escaped to South America on the so-called «ratlines»—possibly under the auspices of certain local governments—Lippman said the documents could also provide important information regarding the role played by Swiss and Argentine banks.

«The Holocaust was the greatest theft in history. Many Swiss banks [which were the depositaries of Jewish money] would not release funds to sometimes a sole survivor from a family who perished in the Holocaust without a death certificate for their loved ones. But Auschwitz did not issue death certificates — they only issued ashes.»
