The Press is the Fourth Estate and that’s long Gone. Education? Going, going gone.
There are some Jews who are good, never ever defending that savage religion, and again, on the chopping block:
CH: The firing of Finkelstein is an ominous threat to academic freedom. It signals that there is no protection, even tenure, for those who oppose not only the genocide, but the state sanctioned narrative. Those without tenure, who form the vast majority of university faculties, have even less job security. The assault is built around the specious argument that support for Palestinians rights is a form of antisemitism, even if you are Jewish. It is designed, of course, not to root out antisemitism but silence the left, liberals and crush all dissenting voices.
Finkelstein is not alone. Over 3,000 university students were arrested, most during the Biden administration, on college campuses. Student activists, along with faculty and administrators, have been expelled. Middle Eastern departments have been gutted, closed or put into receivership. This witch hunt, foolishly given credibility by university administrators eager to curry favor with their rightwing critics and the Trump administration has led the White House to withdraw $11 billion in research funding. Harvard alone stands to lose $2 billion. The Trump administration is seeking to revoke student visas from many of the 1.1 million foreign students in the U.S. It is threatening to also revoke nonprofit status from universities such as Harvard and withdraw accreditation from Columbia University, despite Columbia’s capitulating to every demand made by the Trump administration.
MF: I mean, it’s scary to imagine what happens next, right? You’re a student and you’re placing yourself in massive amounts of debt. You’ve been working so hard for your degree. You’re a faculty member. You have been, I mean, I was one of these. You’ve been working for decades towards this career. You finally have it. What do you do? And we’re seeing the real material impact of this.
And I say it again and again, but once we’ve gotten to the point in which our students are being disappeared by ICE, they’re being detained, they’re being deported, that is, you know, we keep reaching these tipping points and it’s so scary that I don’t even have language to articulate it. But I also think, and I think the students have really shown us this, but I think on a larger scale, nothing’s going to change if people aren’t willing to really give up things.

Does anyone know what we are now exposed to via air, water and food? How about exposure over 20 years? We are beginning to see these long-term effects. The bigger issue is how we came to accept the common practice of taking known chemical poisons and feeding, injecting, and rubbing it into the eyes and skin of rabbits, dogs, guinea pigs, mice and rats to determine the level of harm. Then we declare the chemical poisons harmless to us at something less than that level.
How did the world become so insane that this is okay with anyone?
Glyphosate re-assessment in Europe is corrupt: Toxicology By Nancy Swanson
The artist Amy Sherald has cancelled the final leg of her touring solo exhibition American Sublime, due to open at the National Portrait Gallery (NPG) in Washington, DC, in September, after representatives of the museum allegedly suggested removing a portrait of a non-binary transgender person posing as the Statue of Liberty to avoid falling afoul of US President Donald Trump’s targeting of transgender communities.
“This painting exists to hold space for someone whose humanity has been politicised and discarded,” Sherald says in a statement. “I cannot in good conscience comply with a culture of censorship, especially when it targets vulnerable communities.”
The painting is one of many striking and powerful portraits in Sherald’s show, which explore ideals of American culture like family, freedom and economic prosperity. It is currently on view at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York (until 10 August) after opening at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art last year. All of Sherald’s sitters are Black and they are portrayed with equal measures of vulnerability and strength.
The sitter for Trans Forming Liberty (2024), Arewà Basit, is a non-binary trans-femme artist, actor, singer and songwriter. In an audio description about the work, Basit says Sherald’s image of Lady Liberty is a woman “who is empowered, empowering and represents the fullness of what liberty and justice could give and what it can mean”. Basit adds that when looking at the portrait, “I truly see myself, which is remarkable”, feeling a sense of “full pride and acceptance of oneself”.

An American former contractor for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) said in an interview that aired Friday that during his time working in Gaza, he saw Israeli soldiers and US contractors use “indiscriminate” force against civilians at aid sites, in what he described as “war crimes.”
An American former contractor for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) said in an interview that aired Friday that during his time working in Gaza, he saw Israeli soldiers and US contractors use “indiscriminate” force against civilians at aid sites, in what he described as “war crimes.”
The GHF questioned Aguilar’s motives, saying he had recently been fired for “inappropriate behavior” and accusing him of making “false claims with no basis in reality.”
The interview came as international pressure and criticism mounted surrounding the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, as reports of Palestinians suffering and dying from hunger and from gunfire near GHF aid sites continue to grow daily.
In an interview with the BBC, former US special forces soldier and GHF aid worker Anthony Aguilar described the US- and Israel-backed aid mechanism as “amateur,” saying GHF conduct was “inexperienced, untrained,” and had “no idea how to conduct operations of this magnitude.”
“That would be my most benign assessment,” he said.
“My most frank assessment — I would say that they are criminal,” he continued.
“In my entire career, I have never witnessed the level of brutality and use of indiscriminate and unnecessary force against a civilian population, an unarmed, starving population,” he said.
“I have never witnessed that in all the places that I have been deployed to war, until I was in Gaza — at the hands of IDF and US contractors,” he said.

It’s been five years since Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) staff specialist Joe Bennett spotted 20 dead bighorn sheep near a guzzler while flying over Southern Nevada. The manmade water source had run dry, and the sheep, reliant on it for water, had died within 40 feet of the failed water source.
“It was the worst day of my career,” he said. “The next day, we were hauling water.”
The situation was, on one hand, an anomaly — Southern Nevada’s bighorn sheep are highly adapted to the region’s harsh climate, and they’ve largely avoided illnesses plaguing other sheep herds across the state.
On the other hand, the death of dozens of sheep represented what climate, wildlife and other experts say they are seeing day after day across the Southern Nevada desert — desert-adapted wildlife feeling the toll of abnormally dry conditions carrying on season after season, and not enough relief through monsoons.
“You start seeing mortality in plants and animals,” said David Simeral, associate climatology research scientist at the Desert Research Institute. “The ones that can move, move. Plants can’t move.”
The Las Vegas area only pulls about 20 percent of its precipitation from the summer storms, Simeral said; but when Southern Nevada misses out on its monsoonal moisture, desert vegetation and animals, despite being adapted to the climate, hit their thresholds.

The fucking beautiful canaries in the Homo Consumopethicus coal mine. According to data from both Aububon Society and Cornell Lab of Ornithology, there are actually 2,069 bird species in North America, as of June 2024.
Across the country, most bird species are struggling with habitat loss, as humans encroach on the forests, prairies and wetlands that they rely on.
Droughts and rising temperatures resulting from climate change are also a factor. About two-thirds of North American bird species are at increasing risk of extinction due to global temperature rise, according to the National Audubon Society.
11,000 Bird Species on Planet Earth. And we are doing what in 2025?
And not ONE fucking semen or clit drip in the Pedophile and Rapist in Chief’s criminal enterprise believes this. As temperatures, biodiversity losses, and sea levels rise globally, scientists are concerned about the likelihood of abrupt climatic shifts occurring, particularly within sensitive subsystems of the climate system such as the Amazon rainforest, Antarctic sea ice, and the Tibetan Plateau. Abrupt shifts can manifest as, for example, large and sudden changes in the rate of precipitation in a monsoon system, ice melt in Antarctica, or permafrost thaw in the Northern Hemisphere.
Terpstra et al. sought to identify abrupt shifts that might occur in the future, focusing on climate subsystems discussed in the 2023 Global Tipping Points Report. The team examined outputs from 57 models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6). All the models simulated a climate change scenario over 150 years, with carbon dioxide concentration increasing by 1% annually until it reached 4 times preindustrial levels.

See the criminals?
Get it straight.
History: George W. Bush signed the Hague Invasion Act in 2002, threatening military intervention if the Hague ever tried US officials or their allies. That same year, he also “unsigned” the treaty establishing the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Bush invaded Iraq in a criminal war of aggression, which UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said clearly violated international law. A million Iraqis died due to this illegal imperial war.
Oh, always Trump on Your Mind?
You know who helped establish the precedent for attacking UNESCO? Barack Obama. He cut US funding for UNESCO in 2011, after the UN body voted to admit Palestine.
That Numero Uno President in Bill Clinton and Obama’s minds:
The Reagan administration complained that the UN body was “collectivist”, discussed disarmament (read: peace) proposals, and considered the New International Economic Order that was demanded by the formerly colonized countries of the Global South.
A US State Department official under Reagan also attacked the International Labor Organization (ILO), United Nations environmental program, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and International Telecommunications Union, the New York Times reported at the time.
Thanks goes to Ben Norton for the above historical clarifications for my readers: “Trump’s blatant attacks on international law are nothing new for the US. They’re bipartisan.”
Donald Trump is withdrawing the US from UN bodies, tearing up climate change treaties, and attacking multilateral orgs — just like the presidents before him. Imperialism is bipartisan in Washington. Ben Norton

Remember the attack on Chris Hedges by the Jew Yorker Magazine? Death of the Liberal Class
Listen to the Jewish Fucking Voice here?
‘In this uncompromising rant, Hedges indicts the press, the Church, the arts, labor unions, universities, and the Democratic Party for failing to protect the middle and lower classes from the depredations of corporations and their enablers in government. The case is there to be made, but Hedges hopscotches haphazardly through a century of liberal disappointments, and doesn’t begin to support his conclusion, in which he anticipates the collapse of civilization and recommends survivalist measures and “a return to radical militancy.” All the same, much here is intriguing, such as Hedges’s profiles of two “liberal defectors” who, like him, once wrote for the Times: Doug McGill, who says that he was “always a pawn in the big game,” and Sydney Schanberg, whose righteous style wasn’t welcome at the paper after his return from Cambodia .’
At any given moment there is an orthodoxy, a body of ideas which it is assumed that all right-thinking people will accept without question. It is not exactly forbidden to say this, that or the other, but it is “not done” to say it, just as in mid-Victorian times it was “not done” to mention trousers in the presence of a lady. Anyone who challenges the prevailing orthodoxy finds himself silenced with surprising effectiveness. A genuinely unfashionable opinion is almost never given a fair hearing, either in the popular press or in the highbrow periodicals.
–GEORGE ORWELL, “Freedom of the Press”[1]
To allow the market mechanism to be sole director of the fate of human beings and their natural environment, indeed, even of the amount and use of purchasing power, would result in the demolition of society. For the alleged commodity “labor power cannot be shoved about, used indiscriminately or even left unused, without affecting the human individual who happens to be the bearer of this peculiar commodity. In disposing of a man’s labor power the system would, incidentally, dispose of the physical, psychological, and moral entity of “man” attached to the tag. Robbed of the protective covering of cultural institutions, human beings would perish from the effects of social exposure; they would die as the victims of acute social dislocation through vice, perversion, crime, and starvation. Nature would be reduced to its elements, neighborhoods and landscapes defiled, rivers polluted, military safety jeopardized, the power to produce food and raw material destroyed.
