… the deadliest kind of human is an Eichmann, a cog in the machine, a compliant one, bearing witness to the death machinery they help invent and build, yet turning the blind eye
Students and young people are witnesses to the ways in which the U.S. education system is deeply complicit with war and militarism, and in increasing numbers we are demanding change.
The work to purge university administrations of war criminals isn’t easy. After all, these are powerful individuals whose connections and resources can be weaponized to terrorize all opposition — even if they are young students. And with these profiteers being well-integrated (and monetarily beneficial) to the internal administrative structure, universities will do anything to protect them. Most of the time, this includes harassing and surveilling students on campus.
As a member of the American University Dissenters, I (Ngakiya Camara) personally recall instances of being surveilled on campus and have been agitating against AU’s practice of doing nothing to protect Black students on campus, while simultaneously doing everything to protect Wes Bush.
Meanwhile, Mya Franklin of Northwestern Dissenters recalls being harassed by Northwestern University Police Department (NUPD) officers while doing the banner drop and flyering, stating, “Someone ripped down one of our posters as it was drying. [A] NUPD pig pulled up and harassed us. That morning, we all acutely experienced militarism as we were fighting for anti-militarism.”
So long as universities are prepared to prioritize the role of war criminals on our campus over the livelihood of their students, these instances will persist. And as long as powerful war profiteers occupy crucial administrative positions like the Board of Trustees, resources meant for students will be used to strengthen the lucrative ties that these profiteers have to the institutions they worked for and are invested in. But even in the face of powerful war profiteers, we will not be silent. (source)
In the end then, you have the putrids, the alimentary canals of the red and blue team, the Rip Off Dealing for Nature messed up Greta fans:
There is now a move to align the climate movement in the Global North/West with the war aims of NATO. A press conference in Kyiv at the end of June, with President Zelensky, Mary Robinson and Greta Thunberg, announced a European body to evaluate “the environmental damage resulting from the war, formulating mechanisms to hold Russia accountable and undertaking efforts to restore Ukraine’s ecology”.
[Photo: This poster is displayed on the side of the Dutch Embassy in Moscow and shows the number of people killed in the Donbass between 2014 and 2022. If you walk down the Arbat in the same city you will see hundreds of poster sized billboards memorialising the children killed by Ukrainian shelling into the Donbass in that time. If you go to Donetsk City, you will see a memorial garden for these children. That shelling continues daily even now.
Again, criminals, the Greta Thunbergs and Mary Robinsons of the world.
So, rifling through the news (sic, not always news, certainly not journalism) feeds, every bit of collective pain we endure with the asleep at the wheel Biden, and then his Blinken-Nuland-Yellen Hummus Administration wanting war, really, WWIII, I just have to hold it together without hammering some idiot here and idiot there with that Nazi blue and yellow flag out front on their beach fucking house.
This is what needs attending to. Fucking trillions to the merchants of death and all the shit storm for the uniformed mercenaries called the uniformed “services” — we are about to be burned big time: Potentially historic and deadly heat is already present in the Southwest, including California and Arizona. Parts of Texas and Florida are also mired in extreme heat, and conditions in each of these areas are forecast to worsen.
And so, the dirty Jewish Project in Ukraine is killing us all: “While the 95- and 96-degree readings were in shallow waters, “the water temperatures are 90 to 93 degrees Fahrenheit around much of Florida, which is extremely warm,” said University of Miami hurricane researcher Brian McNoldy. He said his 95-degree pool doesn’t cool him — it just leaves him wet.
Water temperatures across the Gulf of Mexico and Southwest Atlantic are 4 to 5 degrees (2 to 3 degrees Celsius) warmer than normal, Orrison said. Because the water is so warm, the air in Florida gets more humid and “that’s making things tougher or more oppressive for people who are going to be out and about,” he said.
The heat dome that baked Texas and Mexico for much of the early summer has oozed its way to Florida with sunshine, little to no cooling clouds or rain, but humidity worsened by the hot oceans, Orrison and McNoldy said.
Not only will it stick around for a while as weather patterns seem stuck — a sign of climate change, some scientists contend — “it may actually tend to get a little bit worse,” Orrison said, with extra heat and humidity that has NOAA forecasting a heat index around 110 by weekend.”
Scientists worry about the coral in that warmed-up water.
“There’s a good chance of heat stress accumulating very early in the season so we could be looking at nasty bleaching,” said International Coral Reef Society’s Mark Eakin, a retired top NOAA coral reef scientist. Bleaching weakens coral; it takes extended heat to kill it.
“We are already receiving reports of bleaching from Belize, which is very alarming this early in the summer,” said scientist Liv Williamson of the University of Miami’s Coral Reef Futures Lab. She said global projections give a 90% chance for major bleaching on many reefs, including in Pacific Islands along the Equator, the eastern tropical Pacific in Panama, the Caribbean coast of Central America, and in Florida.

We have so many issues to deal with, at home, in each country, yet we the people/sheeple follow these despots, man, these human stains in almost every country under capitalism who are thieves and liars and full of themselves and follow the dirty dog USA as they scramble for a place on the tail or ass.
Big problems, even under the surface:
He found that by the middle of this century, some areas under the Loop may heave upward by as much as 12 millimeters (0.47 inch) or settle by as much as eight millimeters (0.31 inch), depending on the soil makeup of the area involved. Though these may sound like small displacements, Rotta Loria says they could cause cracks in the foundations and walls of some buildings. This could lead to water damage or cause buildings to tilt. Over recent decades, this hidden factor could have contributed to some of the ongoing challenges and costs of maintaining these structures, he says.
Kathrin Menberg, a geoscientist at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany, who was not involved in Rotta Loria’s study, says these displacement predictions are orders of magnitude higher than what she would have guessed and could be linked to Chicago’s soft, clay-heavy soils. “Clay material is particularly sensitive,” she says. “It would be a big issue in all cities worldwide that are built on such material.” This would include many cities near oceans and rivers—London, for example, is built on a layer of clay. In contrast, cities built largely on harder rocks (such as New York City), would not be as impacted by this effect, Ferguson says.
Similar to climate change above the surface, these underground changes occur over long periods of time. “These effects took decades, a century, to develop,” Ferguson says, adding that elevated underground temperatures would likewise take a long time to dissipate on their own. “We could basically turn everything off, and it’s going to persist there, the temperature signal, for quite a while.” (Underground Climate Change Is Weakening Buildings in Slow Motion)

So every electronic blip of copy wasted on MIC, on Zelensky, on NATO, on the merchants of death, all of them in Klanada, U$A, U-Inbred-Kingdom, UeroTrashLandia, Isra-Hell, you name the shit-hole country run by tyrants, every blip is a cut, death by 10,000 pokes and jabs and cuts.
And this mafia outfit, still, lying, thieving and stealing and killing:
Federal regulators said Tuesday they found that Bank of America harmed customers by double-dipping on fees, withholding credit card rewards and opening fake accounts, all of which are violations of various consumer financial protection laws.
As a result, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ordered Bank of America (BAC) to pay more than $100 million to customers and $90 million in penalties. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency also ordered Bank of America (BAC) to pay $60 million in fines.
The bank is the second largest in the United States, serving 68 million individuals and small businesses.
Some of the charges are reminiscent of the Wells Fargo scandal last decade that involved opening millions of bank accounts without customer authorization.
“Bank of America wrongfully withheld credit card rewards, double-dipped on fees, and opened accounts without consent,” CFPB Director Rohit Chopra said in a statement. “These practices are illegal and undermine customer trust. The CFPB will be putting an end to these practices across the banking system.” (source)
In a real world, organized by, for, with and from the people, these culprits would be sacked, their riches confiscated, and the companies shut down like moonshiners.
This is the shit world of throwing our money and draining our attention toward the dirty ZioAzovLensky:
People should avoid part of the St. Joseph River after about 500,000 gallons of wastewater flowed into the river.
The 500,000 gallons of untreated wastewater, including fecal matter, started spilling into the river around 9:30 p.m., Friday, July 7, the Branch-Hillsdale-St. Joseph Community Health Agency said in a news release Monday, July 10.
A main broke near the Broadway Street Bridge, just east of downtown Three Rivers. People should avoid the river from there south to “at least Constantine,” the release said. After Constantine, the St. Joseph River flows through South Bend, Indiana, back into Michigan through St. Joseph and out into Lake Michigan.
We are a three-card-monty world gone crazy. Even one dirty SCOTUS at a time: These people again human stain:
Sotomayor’s staff has often prodded public institutions that have hosted the justice to buy her memoir or children’s books, works that have earned her at least $3.7 million since she joined the court in 2009. Details of those events, largely out of public view, were obtained by The Associated Press through more than 100 open records requests to public institutions. The resulting tens of thousands of pages of documents offer a rare look at Sotomayor and her fellow justices beyond their official duties.
In her case, the documents reveal repeated examples of taxpayer-funded court staff performing tasks for the justice’s book ventures, which workers in other branches of government are barred from doing. But when it comes to promoting her literary career, Sotomayor is free to do what other government officials cannot because the Supreme Court does not have a formal code of conduct, leaving the nine justices to largely write and enforce their own rules.
“This is one of the most basic tenets of ethics laws that protects taxpayer dollars from misuse,” said Kedric Payne, a former deputy chief counsel at the Office of Congressional Ethics and current general counsel for the Campaign Legal Center, a nonpartisan government watchdog group in Washington. “The problem at the Supreme Court is there’s no one there to say whether this is wrong.” (source)
That face, man, just another Zelensky, another Trump, just another and another rip-off schemer. Ethics, uh, Supreme Court? Laugh laugh.
Have you ever thought that “they” are lizard people, human stain with zero empathy, zero ethics, zero concern for humanity?
Here, another dirty billionaire (they all are) racking up more lies and Dystopia. ?VC billionaire Marc Andreessen says A.I. could eliminate the need for labor in the best-case scenario—or lead to Chinese world domination? (from rotten Fuck the People Fortune Magazine)
A.I. has inspired both frenzied panic and passion since ChatGPT exploded onto the scene in 2023. Some think it will turn the world into a utopia, while others think it spells the doom of humankind. Marc Andreessen, billionaire co-founder of the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, thinks it could go either way. On the Bio Eats World podcast on Tuesday, Andreessen discussed the possibility of A.I. turning the world into a laborless paradise—or maybe an authoritarian hellscape instead.
Smile motherfucker, and die!
Sink, motherfuckers: [Photo, An American submarine anchored in the harbor, 2023.]
On Tuesday, the Cuban Foreign Affairs Ministry (MINREX) rejected the entry of a U.S. nuclear-powered submarine into the Guantanamo naval base from July 5 to 8.
“It’s a provocative escalation of U.S. which makes it imperative to question what strategic purpose it pursues in our region, which was declared a Zone of Peace,” Foreign Affairs Minister Bruno Rodriguez tweeted.
For 121 years, the United States has occupied a territory of 117 square kilometers against the will of the Cuban people and as a colonial remnant of the illegitimate military occupation that began in 1898, the MINREX recalled, mentioning that the Guantanamo base lacks strategic importance for the United States but “its permanence only responds to the political objective of trying to violate the sovereign rights of Cuba.” (source)

We are worthless if we can’t spit in their fucking eyes.
Yes, lots of cool people in the world working working working. Mountains, man, how many of you thought you knew the entire mountain story? I did. These scientists are my people.
A new study suggests that the formation of mountains, particularly in subduction zones like southern Italy, might be significantly influenced by the descension of a tectonic plate through Earth’s mantle and its alteration of mantle flow, contrary to the traditional belief of crust crumpling and thickening, offering a more nuanced understanding of mountain building process.
New research led by Colorado State University indicates the answers to how and why mountains form are buried deeper than once thought.
“Mountain building is a fundamental process of how Earth behaves,” said Sean Gallen, lead author and CSU assistant professor of geosciences, “and this study suggests that we may not understand that as well as we thought we did.” (source)
Just one story like this, and then my further research, makes my day or night, after all the feces and cancer of the world with Capitalism and War Party Reporting.
Let the mountains rise:

Great students and scientists:

Goood science is great, heart warming to my sul.
The developed software, which underpins the study and has been published in Nature Geoscience, is readily accessible to other researchers. Gallen hopes that these innovative techniques will stimulate further investigations and lead to new discoveries in other geographical areas.
These findings have the potential to revolutionize our understanding of mountain-building processes in subduction zones, providing a more comprehensive and nuanced perspective on the complex dynamics shaping our planet’s surface. Furthermore, the breakthrough techniques developed by the team pave the way for future investigations and advancements in the field of geoscience.
