“The state of Israel put the public, normative dimension back into Jewish life. Without this having ever been defined, and maybe it cannot be defined, it can be said that to be Jewish means—more than anything else—feeling attachment to the State of Israel.”
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich bragged about the possibility of a “real estate bonanza” on the ruins of Israel’s genocide in Gaza on Wednesday, saying that Israel is already in talks with the U.S. to divide up the land.
“The Gaza Strip is becoming a real estate bonanza,” Smotrich said in Hebrew at a real estate conference in Israel, per Israeli media.
[Fucking Ukrainians . . . Smotrich’s last name is derived from the town of Smotrych in western Ukraine, where he has stated his ancestors lived.]
“The demolition phase is always the first phase of urban renewal. We did that, now we need to start building”.
Based on Jeremy Bentham’s concept—a structure where the observed cannot know when they are being watched, leading to self-censorship and total control—the Israeli surveillance system is described as turning the occupied Palestinian territories into an “open-air panopticon”.
Components of the Surveillance Regime
Facial Recognition (Red Wolf): In Hebron and other parts of the West Bank, AI-powered facial recognition technology known as “Red Wolf” is used to map, identify, and track Palestinians, often without their knowledge or consent, at checkpoints and throughout public spaces.
Mass CCTV Surveillance: Extensive networks of cameras, including those on “smart fences” and surveillance towers, create a “double panopticon” effect in areas like Silwan, where private security and state cameras are combined.
Digital and Cyber Surveillance: This includes the hacking of smartphones, monitoring of social media, and use of Pegasus spyware against human rights defenders, journalists, and officials.
Data Aggregation: The surveillance gathers massive amounts of data to, in effect, create a “panspectron”—a system that surveils everyone at all times, making every Palestinian a potential target.
The “Lab” and Export Model
The “Palestine Laboratory”: The occupied territories act as a testing ground where surveillance technologies are developed, tested, and “proven” on Palestinians before being exported globally.
Exported Technology: Israel is a world leader in security, drone, and AI-driven surveillance technology, which is then marketed internationally.
Implications and Impact
Stifling Resistance: The constant awareness of surveillance forces residents to limit their movements, speech, and actions, effectively curbing resistance and daily life.
Violation of Rights: The system is viewed as a violation of fundamental human rights, including privacy and freedom of movement.
“Double Standard”: While these technologies are widely used against Palestinians, their deployment inside Israel proper has met with resistance from Israeli citizens and politicians.
The “panopticon” metaphor highlights how technology has deepened the military occupation, making control not only physical but digital and constant.
Oh, organ theft, data theft, Shekel wallets, total control of every step, every blink, every idea, every dream, every internet search, every watt of energy used, every bite of food, every fucking thing read, and of course, the Jews want their curriculum rammed down Palestinian child’s throat.
The mutilated bodies of Palestinians returned by Israel show signs of expert organ removal, likely for organ harvesting, renowned British-Palestinian plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr Ghassan Abu Sittah has said.
Speaking to Al Jazeera earlier this week, Abu Sittah shared his professional opinion on images of the deceased Palestinians shown to him by the Qatar-based news outlet.
“The first observation is that, in all the bodies that organs were harvested or removed are those that are now routinely transplanted: the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys and corneas,” Abu Sittah, who spent more than a month working in Gaza’s hospitals during the war, said.
The plastic and reconstructive surgeon added that the precision with which the organs were removed indicated a professional hand.
“The method of extraction – the rib cage and ribs were clipped with a sharp saw – a medical saw, a bone saw – and the sternum, along with the central part of the ribs, was lifted to allow for the removal of the heart and lungs without damage to the organs being taken,” he said, noting that the skin of all the victims appeared to be burnt by liquid nitrogen – a chemical used to preserve tissue.

Another fucking naive Indian:
Imagine this.
You leave your apartment on a Tuesday morning.
As you step onto the pavement, a camera mounted on a streetlight swivels silently, locking onto your face. It runs your features against a national database, logs the exact time you left home, and notes that you look slightly more tired than yesterday.
You walk to the metro station.
Three more cameras track your gait. You buy a coffee with a tap of your phone, the transaction is instantly linked to your location history.
By the time you sit at your desk at 9:00 AM, your government and a dozen private corporations knows more about your morning routine than your spouse does.
This isn’t the opening scene of a Black Mirror episode. It’s probably just your commute.
For a long time, I tried to ignore the creeping sensation of being watched.
I am Indian, I’m used to crowds, zero personal space, and nosy aunties wanting to know my business.
Privacy always felt like a western luxury, something you traded for the convenience of modern life.
When UPI (Unified Payments Interface) revolutionized digital payments here, I cheered. It was fast, easy, and brilliant.
When airports introduced facial recognition for seamless travel, I signed up, grateful to skip a queue.
But lately, that gratitude has soured into a low-grade, persistent anxiety. The realization hit me somewhere between reading about smart city initiatives and seeing yet another new CCTV tower go up in my friends place in Bangalore.
We aren’t just using technology anymore. The technology is using us.
We are sleepwalking into an era of unprecedented state control, lured by the twin promises of convenience and security.
And while we were busy staring at our screens, governments around the world, democratic and authoritarian alike began turning our cities into open-air digital prisons.
Hmm, a Dangerous Idea?
Seattle, in its current state, feels like the ghost of a promise — an uncanny blend of technological optimism and visible collapse
American meritocracy — rooted in IQ and STEM aptitude — produced not just McNamara, but Gates, Jobs, and later Brin, Page, Thiel, Zuckerberg, Musk. Visionaries, certainly. Builders of systems. But also, inheritors of a blind spot: phronesis — or what Aristotle called practical wisdom. It is the kind of intelligence that knows how to act well when rules run out. It cannot be taught in a classroom, measured on a test, or programmed into a machine. It asks, not “How do we make this faster?” but “What do we want this for?”
And so here we are: A Shift for NOAA’s Surveys: From Science to Mining — A $20 million agency project will aid companies prospecting the sea for critical minerals.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is shifting from science to prospecting as it surveys a region of the Pacific Ocean to help private companies find mineral deposits buried on the ocean floor.
Deep-sea mining holds the promise of harvesting vast quantities of potato-sized nodules that contain manganese, cobalt, nickel and copper used in high-tech equipment like electric vehicle batteries and weapon systems. Commercial seabed mining has not yet started and conservation groups and scientists warn it could significantly damage marine environments.
But the Trump administration is fast-tracking the nascent industry and has urged NOAA to prioritize processing the first commercial seabed mining permits. On Thursday, the agency announced a survey that, beginning next month, will map the seafloor near American Samoa to find minerals for industry.
“What an exciting time to know that within the next few years, under this administration, there will be companies pulling deep sea nodules out of the ocean and bringing them to the U.S.,” said Erik Noble, a NOAA deputy assistant secretary who oversees deep sea minerals, at an industry conference in Washington.
And so they ALWAYS sell out, these fucking scientists:
And so criticising NOAA and Trump’s mining plans, against academic freedom?
In 2024, the chair of the statewide University of North Carolina Faculty Assembly and the UNC state system embarked on a fraught mission at a fraught time: writing “a consensus definition” of academic freedom for the entire university system.
Academic freedom scholars have themselves long disagreed over what academic freedom does and doesn’t protect. And UNC’s mission came at a time of increased attacks on the concept from the federal and state governments as well as institutions. (The UNC system itself has been accused of infringing academic freedom.)
Now, late next month—more than a year after the effort began—the UNC Board of Governors is set to vote on a lengthy definition. It promises many of the protections contained in other descriptions of academic freedom, but it’s drawn opposition from the state’s American Association of University Professors arm over both the express limits it places on that freedom and what the AAUP calls vague language that could be used to further restrict classroom teaching.
“Part of higher education is connecting ideas learned in the classroom to other disciplines and current events,” they wrote. “An ethnomusicology instructor exploring the musical traditions of the Middle East may deepen their students’ knowledge and understanding by exploring how political conflicts in the region affect the culture of the people who live there.”
And as for the student academic freedom protections, the AAUP said it’s concerned the language “could be weaponized against faculty members with whom a student or an outside actor disagrees,” noting particularly that there’s no definition of what a student taking “reasoned exception” means.
Abbey Hatcher, who resigned from her associate professor position at UNC Chapel Hill on Dec. 31 but who remains an AAUP member, took issue with both the policy-development process and its result.
Hatcher noted that the Faculty Assembly never voted on the added parameters around academic freedom, which she said essentially require pledging “fealty to the institutional mission.” She said, “All the parameters are basically threats to what faculty should or should not do.”
“They’re trying to be as imprecise as they can about what might be disfavored one day because it gives them leeway to retaliate in different ways,” she said, adding that “there was no additional value of the academic freedom ‘consensus definition,’ and there’s a clear downside in that it was co-opted to add additional language around parameters.”
These cocksuckers will break into a faculty member’s office. No belief in most Amendments, including the Fourth:
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem appeared before a bank of television cameras in Washington, D.C., on Saturday night to blame the man who had been shot to death by federal agents in Minneapolis that morning for his own death, claiming without evidence that he had intended “to kill law enforcement” and had been “brandishing” a weapon. Behind her stood the commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, Rodney Scott, sending a silent message of unity.
But behind the scenes, the senior ranks of the Department of Homeland Security were divided. Until minutes before they walked in front of the cameras, Noem and Scott had not spoken to each other that day, even as Noem took charge of her department’s response to the shooting and coordinated with the White House and other officials in Scott’s agency, two people familiar with their interactions told us.
Fucking Semen Drip Trump’s mosh pit:
Donald Trump has said over the years that he welcomes and even encourages rivalries in his administration, and delights in watching aides compete to please him. But for the past year, the president has allowed a rift to widen within the team tasked with delivering on the mass-deportation plan that is his most important domestic-policy initiative. That has led to months of acrimony and left many veteran officials at DHS—including those who support the president’s deportation goals—astonished at the dysfunction.

Jew News of Monumental Proportions. Zeldin the Shekel Boy:
After a tumultuous year under the Trump administration, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has adopted a new, almost unrecognizable guise – one that tears up environmental rules and cheerleads for coal, gas-guzzling cars and artificial intelligence.
When Donald Trump took power, it was widely anticipated the EPA would loosen pollution rules from sources such as cars, trucks and power plants, as part of a longstanding back and forth between administrations over how strict such standards should be.
But in recent weeks, critics say the EPA has gone far further by in effect seeking to jettison its raison d’etre, forged since its foundation in 1970, as an environmental regulator. The EPA is poised to remove its own ability to act on the climate crisis and has, separately, unveiled a new monetary worth assigned to human lives when setting air pollution regulations. The current new value? Zero.
“The EPA was designed to protect public health and the environment and did a remarkably effective job of that,” said William Reilly, who was EPA administrator under a previous Republican president, George HW Bush.
“That record is now at risk and we will see the degradation of air quality in major cities. The administration seems to conceivethe purpose of the agency as solely promoting business, which has never been the agency’s mission. That’s revolutionary – it’s not been seen before.”
A vivid illustration of this, Reilly said, was when the EPA asked businesses last year to simply email a request to be exempt from air pollution rules. “The notion you could be excused from a black letter law just by asking for it was startling to me,” he said. “I thought it was a spoof. But it did happen.”
You gotta use ONE story an hour to think deeply how corrupt, criminal, carnival like this CUNT-tree is:
The restrictions placed on Maher Tarabishi will haunt him long after his 30-year-old son, Wael, is laid to rest.
For decades, Maher, 62, had cared for his son as he struggled with a rare genetic condition called Pompe disease, which causes muscle weakness and severe respiratory problems.
But Maher was abruptly separated from Wael last year, as part of United States President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.
Last Friday, when Wael drew his final breath, Maher was not there to hold him. When Wael’s funeral is held on Thursday at a mosque in Arlington, Texas, Maher will once again be absent, unable to say his final goodbyes.
That is because Maher remains in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and in each instance, his requests for a temporary release have been denied.
“Wael’s last wish was, ‘Let me at least just see my father. Let me at least hold his hand,’” Shahd Arnaout, Wael’s sister-in-law, told Al Jazeera.
Every FUCKING MAGA Cunt needs to be euthanized: On my walk on the ocean in Yachats.

Nearly 100 Twin Cities area food shelves have signed off on an open letter calling for an immediate end to the surge in Minnesota’s federal immigration efforts.
In a letter released Wednesday morning, organizations like Second Harvest Heartland, 360 Communities, The Sanneh Foundation and dozens more say Operation Metro Surge has brought “chaos and violence” to the communities they serve, leaving many too afraid to leave their homes.
In the letter, the organizations say they’ve seen federal agents follow volunteers making food deliveries, stand outside food shelf entrances, stage in food shelf parking lots, and in one instance, detain a food shelf volunteer.

Continuing Criminal Enterprise: Trump officials awarded Venezuela oil-sale contracts to firms tied to bribery
Both firms have previously settled high-profile bribery cases with the Department of Justice. In 2020, Vitol paid $135 million to resolve schemes in Brazil, Ecuador, and Mexico, while in 2024, Trafigura pleaded guilty and paid $126 million for bribing Brazilian officials.
Two global trading houses that brokered an opaque deal with the Trump administration this month to sell Venezuelan oil were previously prosecuted for bribery schemes involving oil sales elsewhere, court records show, underscoring concerns by anti-corruption experts and lawmakers that the arrangement is vulnerable to abuse.

“Reaction” is really the right word. It’s more a reaction than a choice. And when you look back on it later, you second-guess absolutely every single move that you made without really understanding what happened. Because in the aftermath of sexual harassment, of sexual assault, you’re always looking to give the benefit of the doubt, especially when it’s someone you know. You don’t want this horrible thing to have happened. You want things to be OK. So you blame yourself as a way of convincing yourself you were in control the whole time.
On using the word assault and not rape
Rape is a word I hardly ever use because when you hear the word rape, you think of a guy in a ski mask in the dark alley and fighting for your life. And that’s just not the reality of how sexual assaults happen when most of the time it’s someone that you know and trust. So we don’t really have language to talk about this and we certainly didn’t in 2017 when I was reporting it. It takes a very long time to really process and get to the point where you can talk about it in those terms, and those terms are devastating. When you say sexual assault, when you say rape, your life changes. You have a target on your back. Every single thing that you say or that you don’t say becomes evidence.
“He came over and sat with us, and I felt like it couldn’t possibly be real,” she says. “These were two people [Lauer and Vieira] that I had admired as journalists, as people, since I was a little girl. And I truly could not believe I was sitting there with a seat at the table with them. And I think I got carried away.”
Nevils says Lauer ordered vodka shots, which she drank. She says he invited her back to his hotel room and then sexually assaulted her. They had additional sexual encounters after they returned to New York following the Olympics. In a 2019 statement, Lauer wrote that his interactions with Nevils were “completely mutual and consensual.”
