So, they’re not surprised at the mass slaughter of men, women, children, disabled, medics, doctors, teachers, ambulance drivers in Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Gaza, Iran by Jews of Israel?

Shit dawg, that religion.

On September 17, 2024, pagers began exploding across Lebanon and Syria. The next day, it was walkie-talkies. Israel’s Mossad had booby-trapped communication devices and detonated them remotely, killing 37 people and injuring nearly 3,000, including children.

In this special documentary report, journalist Rania Khalek goes inside the attack, tracing the human toll of one of Israel’s most chilling operations to date. Through interviews with survivors, families, and legal experts, the Khalek exposes the international complicity that made it possible, and the resilience of those who lived through it. This is the untold story of the pager attack.

Surprise Surprise Surprise, that religion:

Not that dirty religious cuntry?

Death penalty by any means necessary, as in Blood Libel:

“CPJ is investigating this latest attack on journalists in Lebanon which has been an increasingly deadly zone for journalists, despite their status as civilians who must not be targeted,” said CPJ Regional Director Sara Qudah. “We have seen a disturbing pattern in this war and in the decades prior of Israel accusing journalists of being active combatants and terrorists without providing credible evidence. Journalists are not legitimate targets, regardless of the outlet they work for.”

Lebanon’s president Joseph Aoun and the Lebanese Minister of Information Paul Morcos denounced the killing of the journalists, with president Aoun calling the attack “a blatant crime that violates all the norms and treaties under which journalists enjoy international protection in wars.”

CPJ has documented the killing of at least four other journalists across the Middle East since the outbreak of the Iran war in late February. The targeting of the three journalists comes two days after the killing of the photojournalist Hussain Hamood, and 9 days after the killing of journalist Mohammed Sherri, who also worked for Al-Manar TV, in an Israeli strike in central Beirut. This latest attack brings the total number of press members killed in Lebanon since the Israel-Gaza war began to 11.

Palestinians mourn medics, killed by Israeli forces

Oh, those death penalties approved by the US of Assholes: We dug up medics in Gaza. A year later, international law remains buried

Israel has created an environment of impunity for attacks on healthcare that has spread well beyond Gaza’s borders.

This is what genocide looks like. It is not only the killing – though the killing has been vast and documented. It is also the deliberate dismantling of everything a population needs to survive: their hospitals, their water, their food supply, their civil registry, their police, their medics.

Surprise Surprise Surprise.

  • Irgun Zvai Leumi: Led by Menachem Begin, this group targeted British military and civilian infrastructure to force a British exit. Notable attacks included the King David Hotel bombing in 1946, killing 91 people, including many civilians.
  • Lehi (Stern Gang): Founded by Avraham Stern, this militant group assassinated British Minister Lord Moyne in 1944 and fought for the creation of a Jewish state.
  • The Sergeants Affair (1947): Irgun members kidnapped and murdered two British intelligence sergeants—Mervyn Paice and Clifford Martin—in retaliation for the sentencing of militants.
  • Casualties: Over the course of the mandate, approximately 750 British soldiers and police were killed by these actions.

Targeting Others:

  • Palestinians: Zionist militias engaged in attacks against Arab civilians to compel displacement, including the 1948 Deir Yassin massacre.
  • United Nations: Lehi assassinated UN representative Lord Moyne and targeted UN officials.

Thursday 31 July 1947

It is with deep regret that I confirm the reports which have been current during the past 24 hours that the two British sergeants, Paice and Martin, abducted at Nathanya on 12th July, have been murdered by Jewish terrorists.

I received today the following telegram from the High Commissioner for Palestine:

“Most deeply regret to inform you that the two bodies were found at 9 o’clock this morning in an eucalyptus grove at Umm Uleiqa, near Beit Lid. They were hanging from two trees. Notices were pinned to the bodies saying that the men had been hanged by the National Military Organisation as British spies. The first body was cut down by an Army captain, and as he bent over it a small bomb exploded, injuring him in the face. The surrounding area was found to have been mined.”

Shit, THOSE Jews: Picture of Clifford Martin and Mervyn Paice, the two British sergeants kidnapped and hanged by the Irgun in 1947.

Those fucking friendly neuroperverse supremacists: Back when the British ruled, the Jewish underground (criminal mafia) blew up part of the King David, but this time around, security measures are likely to make the place one of the safest venues on earth

Those fucking Jews:

Above: the “earthquake bomb” that Israel dropped on Syria in December 2024.

This week, the UN’s Mohamad Safa resigned from his position to tell the world that Washington is strongly considering a nuclear attack against Iran. We should take the danger of this happening very seriously, and we must reckon with the apocalyptic harm that Zionism and imperialism have already inflicted on the region’s people during this war. The “worst-case scenario” has already come for all of the people in Lebanon, Gaza, and Iran who Washington has murdered in these last few weeks alone. But when we see these mass-scale atrocities and plans for nuclear holocaust, we need to recognize just how desperate of a mentality our enemies are now operating off of. This isn’t the posture of a confident empire, it’s how Washington is acting when Iran has just taken away its ability to gain submission. The Axis of Resistance has dismantled U.S. hard power in West Asia, to a degree where the foreign policy heads are now deeply wishing to re-create Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Oh, that death penalty passed by the fucking synagogues and fake liberal Jews worldwide:

Israel (most Jews) wants the US to bomb more of Iran’s civilian structures (113,000 is not enough) … Over 90,000 homes, 21,000 commercial facilities, 760 educational centers damaged, says the Iranian Red Crescent.

“I wish users of EBT (SNAP… Foodstamps) would be more responsible about the things they buy here.”

There you have it, from a cashier at a Safeway that is going to be closed in June 2026. Imagine that, be more responsible?

  • SNAP is highly effective at improving food security. Food insecurity, when a household doesn’t have enough resources to buy enough food, makes it harder for people to manage illness and is linked to chronic health conditions and higher health care costs. Food assistance from SNAP reduces the overall prevalence of food insecurity by as much as 30 percent, and is even more effective among children and those with “very low food security,” that is, when one or more household members have to skip meals or otherwise eat less during the year because they don’t have enough money.One study found that food insecurity among children fell by roughly a third after their families received SNAP benefits for six months. Emerging evidence also suggests that SNAP helps decrease decades-long racial inequities in food security, reducing the gap between Black and Hispanic households, which are more likely to experience food insecurity because of starkly unequal opportunities and outcomes in education, employment, health, and housing, and white households.
  • SNAP’s return on investment far outweighs its costs. By investing directly in the health and well-being of low-income children, SNAP provides lasting gains not only for the children who participate, but for the nation. One study estimated that every SNAP dollar invested in children returns $62 in value over their lifetimes (due to a range of benefits including improved educational outcomes, higher earnings in adulthood, increased life expectancy, and increased government tax revenue). SNAP should be seen as an investment that will deliver continuing benefits for the life trajectories of children and the broader economy.
  • SNAP plays a critical role in supporting families and local communities during economic downturns. In a weak economy, every $1 in additional spending on SNAP benefits generates $1.54 in economic activity as households use their benefits to shop at over 250,000 local grocery stores and supermarkets, spurring new spending throughout local economies across the country.
  • SNAP frees up money that can be used for health-promoting activities and is linked with better access to preventive health care and reduced health care costs. Food assistance acts as an income boost, allowing people to spend money that would otherwise have been used for food on health-related activities. Infants and children in families receiving food assistance from SNAP are more likely to see a doctor for periodic check-ups. Older adults participating in SNAP are more likely to take the full dosage of prescription medications because they have enough income to afford food and medicine, compared to low-income older adults not participating in SNAP, who may have to make difficult choices about stretching their medication to afford enough food. SNAP may also help low-income older adults live independently in their communities and avoid hospitalization. Low-income adults participating in SNAP incur $1,400 — nearly 25 percent — less in medical care costs than low-income non-participants.
  • SNAP has near-term and long-lasting effects, improving health, education, and economic outcomes that extend from childhood into adulthood. SNAP participants are more likely to report excellent or very good health than low-income non-participants. One study found that test scores among students in SNAP households are highest for those receiving benefits two to three weeks before the test. Another study found that SNAP was associated with a reduced likelihood of repeating a grade among children in low-income families. Studies have found children have improved birth outcomes and better healtheducation, and employment outcomes as adults if they had SNAP access during early childhood or if their parent had SNAP access during pregnancy. There is emerging evidence showing the association of SNAP with reduced risk of premature death.

So, proof of work, training and job search? ecent federal changes are expanding work requirements for some Oregonians who receive SNAP food benefits, prompting state agencies to urge recipients to connect with free job search and training help through WorkSource Oregon.

The Oregon Department of Human Services and the Oregon Employment Department said more people who receive SNAP must now show they are working, looking for work or participating in training to continue receiving aid.

The changes mean some adults must meet work requirements to keep getting benefits for longer than three months, and they apply to more people than in the past, including some adults up to age 64 and some households with older children.

Targeted: Iranian women in the ruins of their apartment building, destroyed by US-Israeli bombing of residential areas, Tehran, 12 March 2026

Few experts consider the war launched by the US and Israel against Iran to be legal. Without the approval of the United Nations Security Council – which was not sought – only self-defence could have justified such a sudden and massive use of force.

In spite of Israel’s decades-long efforts, ‘preventative self-defence’ is not recognised in international law. Some experts in international law have tried to promote a new concept – ‘pre-emptive’ military action in response to an ‘imminent threat’ that could only be addressed by military means.

PROOF of work? These cocksuckers in the war monger class? Imagine that, all those trillions for the war machine, a machine that kills, destroys, upsets, breaks, distrupts, murders — what do they do for society but add to the costs of war. Proof of work, Trump and Company?

These fucking retards never ever question the costs of their nephews or daughters in the uniformed mercenary disserveces?

It costs approximately $6.5 million to $8 million per day to operate a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier strike group, including personnel, fuel, and aircraft maintenance. This high cost covers a “floating city” of over 5,000 crew members, operating a nuclear-powered vessel and its supporting air wing, often including accompanying destroyers and submarines.

  • Daily Operational Costs: The average $6.5M–$8M daily figure covers the carrier, its aircraft, and the accompanying strike group.
  • Personnel Costs: A significant portion (about $3 million daily) is dedicated to salaries, benefits, and food for the 4,000–5,000 personnel aboard.
  • Fuel Consumption: While nuclear-powered, the vessels consume significant aviation fuel. During intense operations, fuel costs can exceed $350,000 a day.
  • Aircraft Maintenance: Operating the aircraft assigned to a carrier is incredibly expensive, costing roughly $1.8 billion per year, or roughly $5 million per day just for the planes.
  • Active Deployment Costs: In specific, high-intensity scenarios, such as patrolling near Iran, the cost can be lower for specific missions, such as the estimated $2.5 million per day for the USS Abraham Lincoln.

Sure, those fucking Food Stamp scammers:

The estimated total daily cost to keep the U.S. military fed is approximately $50 million to $60 million, based on 2026 fiscal data.

Of course, I came back with a strong retort, reminding her that the billionaires and the rich are you worried about what unhealthy or unnecessary food and stuff those cunts buy?

Premature Babies Evacuated After Israeli Attack on Al-Shifa Returned to Gaza After More Than Two Years

Oh, those tax dollars paying for these fucking mass murderers, but it’s the poor scamming the SNAP.

Ahmed Al-Harsh waited outside Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis on Monday to meet his son, a toddler and the only other survivor of his entire family.

“I’m waiting for my son Mahmoud. I haven’t seen him in two and a half years except once, before he was transferred to Egypt. I’ve been waiting for two and a half years,” Al-Harsh, 31, told Drop Site News.

Mahmoud is one of 28 Palestinian infants who were evacuated to Egypt as premature babies in November 2023 from the neonatal intensive care unit in Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, as the Israeli military laid siege to the medical complex and raided it. Mahmoud and seven other children were returned to Gaza on Monday to be reunited with their families, or what was left of them.

On October 14, 2023, one week into Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza, the Israeli military bombed the Al-Harsh’s family home in the Jabaliya refugee camp. Al-Harsh’s entire family was killed in the attack—his four-year-old daughter, his father, mother, brother, sisters-in-law, nephews, and nieces. Al-Harsh initially thought his wife, who was eight months pregnant at the time, had also been killed. He only later learned that she had been gravely injured and had given birth to their son, Mahmoud, in hospital before succumbing to her injuries.

Al-Harsh was able to see Mahmoud only once before he was taken to the neonatal intensive care unit in Al-Shifa’s hospital for care. He had been staying in Beit Lahia, unable to move amid the escalating Israeli assault. In November, Israel laid siege to Al-Shifa hospital, surrounding the medical complex and cutting it off from the rest of Gaza City before raiding it on November 15. Doctors inside scrambled to keep their patients alive, including the nearly 40 premature babies in the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit, Mahmoud among them. There was no electricity and incubators were failing. The World Health Organization, which was able to coordinate a one-hour visit to Al-Shifa at the time, described the hospital as a “death zone.”

After much negotiation, 31 premature babies were evacuated from Al-Shifa on November 19 and taken to Rafah. UNICEF said the conditions of the babies had been “rapidly deteriorating” inside the besieged hospital. Five died before they could be evacuated. The next day, 28 of the babies were transported across the border to Egypt for treatment. None were accompanied by family members.

For the past two and a half years, Al-Harsh has seen his son only in photos or videos sent to him from Egypt—first as an infant, then a toddler. “The feeling is indescribable. What can I tell you about this feeling?” he said. “These two years felt like forty, even more—a lifetime. During this time, I was a body without a soul. I couldn’t work or do anything.”

Sundus al-Kurd reunites with her daughter Bissan after 2.5 years in Khan Younis on March 31, 2026. Bissan was born premature and evacuated to Egypt during an Israeli military attack on Al-Shifa Hospital in November 2023.

That death by 10,000,000 cuts PENALTY:

More than 750 schools. Over 300 healthcare centers. And 90,000-plus homes.

The US and Israel have destroyed or damaged more than 115,000 civilian structures, Iran’s Red Crescent Society says – leaving behind a system of chaos, with hospitals, schools, water plants, and civilian roadways turned to dust or rendered useless.

But the toll goes far beyond the loss of structures: The chaos has put enormous pressure on the country’s healthcare workers and first responders, disrupted education for students at every level, and displaced hundreds of thousands, inflicting both physical and psychological trauma that will take many years to recover from, if Iranians can at all.

“Destruction here is not simply material loss,” Tehran’s municipal spokesperson, Abdulmutahhar Mohammad Khani, tells me. “It means disrupting the lives of citizens and inflicting profound psychological and social harm.”

Death PENALTIES by another fucking Jewish Mother!!

International sanctions were reimposed on Iran to influence its leadership. They were leveled to curb Iran’s nuclear program but have caused medical shortages that hit the country’s most vulnerable citizens hardest.

Here, back to Colonel Astore’s Substack, my comment:

I’d reframe — What are the threats to global health, welfare, peace, social justice, prosperity, safe food, air, water, and education?

Yikes.

So freaks like Kissinger stated, with others in the billionaire class and in the AmeriKKKan class,

*Those who control the money of a nation, control economies.

*Those who control the food, control a nation.

*Those who control water, control entire regions.

*Those who control oil, control development.

*Those who control the data, control the world.

So, the most dangerous thing on earth is, well, Capitalism, and you can call it Zombie Capitalism, Disaster Capitalism, Penury Capitalism, Inverted Totalitarian Capitalism, or fill in the adjective before Capitalism.

Now? Digital Gulags are being built, and we can call that Fourth Industrial Revolution, 15-minute or Smart Cities, or a Phillip K. Dick world of surveillance Capitalism, pre-crime set forth through AIG/AI, and here we are — social control through data harvesting and privatization of all human services and governmental programs.

The premise of a social impact bond is that investors pay for public service delivery with the understanding that if the interventions they’ve invested in “work,” the government pays them back, plus a pre-determined, built-in profit. “Successful” interventions purportedly save the government money by reducing the need for special education, addiction treatment, incarceration, and chronic health management services. The idea is that people identified as being “at risk” of becoming a “burden” on society are “treated” via interventions that are supposed to reduce their likelihood of accessing services in the future.

Of course, this structure can be gamed, as evidenced by the Salt Lake City, Utah pre-kindergarten SIB that supposedly reduced the need for special education services for participating children by 99 percent. Most well funded preschool programs, which the Goldman-Sachs-backed project was not, yield at best a 50 percent reduction. So, either the screening tool used to identify children for the program was flawed, or children who may have needed special education services were denied access. This New York Times article, “Success Metrics Questioned in School Program Funded by Goldman” provides additional background.

Social Impact Bonds, or Pay for Success as it is becoming better known, is simply a new method of privatization. Impose austerity so government departments, including education, cannot function; proclaim the system “broken;” and use the created dysfunction as an excuse to outsource services. Worse, by using manipulated data to direct anticipated public expenditures into financiers’ coffers in the present, it hobbles future government operations.

This “Third Way” approach to financing “the public good” has found bi-partisan support in the United States. Liberal interests are happy that services continue to be provided, and conservatives are pleased government is only paying for “what works,” based on data. This summer Democrats, Republicans, investors, consultants, and non-profit service providers all gathered in the Senate Building to celebrate the passage of the Social Impact Partnership Pay for Results Act (SIPPRA), which is set to inject $100 million in federal funding to this nascent “Pay for Success” market. Other beneficiaries of “outcomes-based” contracting include telecommunications companies, cloud-based computing companies, and law firms with expertise in Blockchain smart contracts.

In 2008, the Rockefeller Foundation provided funding to B-Lab to develop the standardized impact metrics that would undergird the system. This framework, now managed as the IRIS initiative, maintains a catalog of over 2,500 metrics aligned to the UN’s Sustainability Goals. Many have specific associated cost savings that are used to calculate profit margins for investors. Predictive analytics establishes baselines for individuals and populations, estimates the likelihood they will be “impacted” in a “positive way” (as shown by data), and assesses what savings might be generated from “fixing” them via interventions. All of this entails significant levels of surveillance.

In October 2024, Kamala Harris stated Iran was America’s “greatest adversary.” For the moment, the Trump administration seems to agree. Yet how, exactly, is Iran a threat to U.S. national security? Yes, Iran has struck U.S. bases in the Middle East, but only after being attacked by the U.S. and Israel. Iran has no capability to strike at the U.S. directly, and even if it had, Iranian leaders know that any attack on the U.S. would likely provoke a massively destructive U.S. response that would make the current war look like a schoolyard skirmish.

A threat to U.S. national security?

So, looking dispassionately, what are truly the biggest threats to U.S. national security?

1. Nuclear war. There is no more immediate threat to our nation’s security (and indeed the world’s) than nuclear war. Thus, we should do everything possible to reduce nuclear weapons and the global proliferation of the same.

2. Climate change. While nuclear war would kill the planet quickly, global warming is a longer-term threat, but a threat nonetheless. Ocean current changes, severe weather, droughts, famine, rising sea levels: all these, and more, loom in the future. If we keep burning fossil fuels like there’s no tomorrow, soon enough there’ll be no tomorrow.

3. The military-industrial complex (MIC) and incessant warfare. Yes, America’s incredibly bloated national security state is a threat to national security. And this is nothing new. Recall that President Eisenhower warned the nation in 1961 that a “military-industrial complex” posed the gravest of threats to democracy and individual liberties. Likewise, James Madison warned a new nation that incessant warfare posed the gravest of threats to democracy and liberty. Forces that reinforce militarism, that wage constant wars, pose a dire threat, especially when they are disguised as “necessary” for national security.

4. Zionism and Greater Israel. The Zionist quest for a “greater” Israel has implicated the U.S. in genocide in Gaza, apartheid and torture of the Palestinian people, and wars in Iraq, Syria, and now Iran. Many Americans see Israel today as the tail that wags the dog of the U.S. government and military machine. True or false, it doesn’t contribute to U.S. national security.

5. U.S. national debt. Currently at $39 trillion and rising, the national debt, propelled by incessant warfare and vast overspending on “defense,” is contributing to the hollowing out of America.

6. Bellicose and bombastic U.S. leaders. Figures such as Trump, Hegseth, Rubio, Witkoff, Kushner, and others do not inspire confidence in U.S. leadership and diplomacy. Devotion to war, Israel, profit, and power doesn’t make America more secure.

7. China’s growth. As the U.S. empire weakens, China grows stronger. Chinese ambitions in the Pacific and designs against Taiwan are perceived by the U.S. national security state as threats, even though such threats are not directly detrimental to America as a nation.

8. The increasing lawlessness of America and the de facto ideal of “might makes right.” In its arrogance, the U.S. empire believes only it determines what the “rules-based order” is. The truth is there are no rules anymore since the U.S. national security state believes it must dominate everything. When genocide is supported, rules mean nothing.

9. Terrorism. It remains a threat, but much of it is blowback from U.S. military operations overseas. Reduce those and blowback will also be reduced. Terrorism is also best addressed through international police efforts rather than further military action of the whack-a-mole variety.

10. A spineless Congress. No war should be fought without a formal Congressional declaration of the same. We haven’t had one of those since World War II. In abdicating its responsibility, Congress since 1950 has enabled the worst presidential/MIC follies.

11. Propaganda and narrative control. Increasingly, the American people are treated like mushrooms, kept in the dark and fed total BS. A misinformed public, deliberately kept divided and distracted and downtrodden, can’t exercise its role as a check on the lawlessness and folly of the powerful.

12. Russia and its expansionist designs. Right now, Russia is bogged down in a regional war in Ukraine, a war that doesn’t directly threaten U.S. national security, unless U.S. government action makes it so. Still, Russia remains a threat, notably because of its nuclear arsenal.

Readers, what do you see as the greatest threats to U.S. national security? Did I miss any? Did I get the order wrong? Have at it in the comments section, and thanks.

In a statement sent to Global News, the college said its 34th Holocaust and Genocide Symposium went ahead as planned last week, featuring multiple educational activities and guest speakers for students, faculty and staff.

However, the college said the decision to reschedule the commemorative portion of the event was made amid heightened attention to safety and security.

“In doing so, the College acknowledges that it did not fully consider the significance and impact that such a change could carry. This was an oversight,” the statement said.

Jews again in the news? A federal judge on Tuesday ordered the University of Pennsylvania to comply with a subpoena from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission seeking a list of Jewish community members in what the federal government says is an effort to combat antisemitism on the Ivy League campus.

The university had fought the subpoena, which alarmed several members of Penn’s Jewish community and prompted a monthslong federal court battle. Several people told CNN the government’s quest for a list of names, phone numbers and mailing addresses of Jewish people felt like an invasion of privacy and evoked haunting historical comparisons.

But in a 32-page opinion issued three weeks after oral arguments in a Philadelphia courtroom, US District Judge Gerald Pappert dismissed constitutional concerns and said comparisons between the EEOC’s work and the Holocaust or Nazi Germany were “unfortunate and inappropriate.”

“Though ineptly worded, the request had an understandable purpose – to obtain in a narrowly tailored way, as opposed to seeking information on all university employees, information on individuals in Penn’s Jewish community who could have experienced or witnessed antisemitism in the workplace,” Judge Pappert wrote of the EEOC’s subpoena.

The university plans to appeal the ruling, a Penn spokesperson said in a statement.

“We continue to believe that requiring Penn to create lists of Jewish faculty and staff, and to provide personal contact information, raises serious privacy and First Amendment concerns,” the statement read in part.

“The University does not maintain employee lists by religion,” it added.

People make their way through the University of Pennsylvania campus, Wednesday, March 19, 2025, in Philadelphia.

Fascism against clowns, man:

Dozens of clowns have marched through the streets of Bolivia’s capital to protest against a government decree that limits extracurricular activities in schools, threatening their livelihoods.

Wearing full face paint and their signature red noses, the clowns gathered on Monday in front of the ministry of education in La Paz to oppose a decree published in February. The new mandate says schools must comply with 200 days of lessons each year – in effect banning them from hosting the special events where the entertainers are frequently employed.

“This decree will diminish our income, and with the economic crisis the country is going through, our future looks increasingly gloomy,” said Elías Gutiérrez, a spokesperson for the Confederation of Artisanal Workers of Bolivia.

Bolivia is grappling with its worst economic crisis in decades. Revenues from natural gas are plummeting after a sustained decline in production, and US dollars are becoming scarce, making imports more expensive in the landlocked nation.

Fucking clown show at the Department of War Crimes:

Defense secretary Pete Hegseth said the crews of two US army AH-64 Apache helicopters that hovered next to the singer Kid Rock’s swimming pool while he clapped and saluted on Saturday are no longer suspended.

“No punishment. No investigation,” Hegseth wrote on social media. “Carry on, patriots.”

Hegseth’s announcement came just hours after a US army spokesperson said the crews had been suspended from flying pending a investigation.

“The army has confirmed that on 28 March, two Apache helicopters from the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade at Fort Campbell conducted a flight in the Nashville area that has attracted public and media attention,” according to a statement from the army on Tuesday.

The army said it was reviewing “the circumstances surrounding the mission, including compliance with relevant FAA regulations, aviation safety protocol, and approval requirements”.

[n October 2023, Palestinian poet and professor Refaat Alareer warned that former New York Times journalist Bari Weiss had put his life in danger.

Weiss tweeted that he “joked about Israeli babies burned alive” — a claim rooted in unverified atrocity propaganda that Israeli officials themselves later walked back. But this atrocity propaganda was used to justify Israel’s atrocity in Gaza.

Refaat tweeted:

“If I get killed by Israeli bombs or my family is harmed, I blame Bari Weiss and her likes.”

Weeks later, he was targeted and killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza as the IDF escalated its attacks against Palestinian scholars and academics.

Today, Bari Weiss — founder of the pro-Israel outlet The Free Press — is reportedly set to become editor-in-chief of CBS News under a new ownership deal led by Larry Ellison’s family, one of Israel’s biggest private donors.

From incitement to influence, this is what media power looks like in an empire that rewards those who justify genocide.]

What to know about the Iran war:

  • President Trump told reporters Tuesday he expects U.S. operations in Iran to wrap up in “two weeks, maybe three.”
  • Earlier Tuesday, the president told CBS News’ Weijia Jiang he’s not ready “quite yet” to abandon efforts to force Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to all shipping traffic.
  • Mr. Trump will deliver an “important update on Iran” in a Wednesday night prime-time address, the White House says.
  • After he renewed his threat to attack Iran’s civilian energy and water infrastructure if no deal is reached to end the war, Iranian state media said a water desalination plant on an island near the Strait of Hormuz was out of commission after being hit.
  • Energy markets continued to convulse over uncertainty about the war, sending the average price of a gallon of gas in the U.S. over $4 for the first time in almost four years as a massive tanker loaded with crude was hit by an Iranian drone off Dubai’s coast.

That states’ rights Pedophile in Chief (sic). Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order seeking to restrict mail-in voting and compile a national voter list in a move that is unprecedented and likely unconstitutional.

The order directs the administration to establish a federal list of confirmed citizens that can legally vote in each state, and orders the postal service to send mail-in ballots only to those on the list. During a press conference at the White House, Trump said the administration would like to require voter ID and proof of citizenship, and repeated falsehoods about mail-in voting.

A Silicon Valley city will offer its residents free wireless doorbells equipped with cameras to help police collect video evidence.

The city council of Milpitas, a suburb north of San Jose, California, recently approved $60,000 to provide these devices on a one-camera-per-household, first-come, first-served basis, as was first reported by Milpitas Beat and confirmed by the Guardian.

$60,000 in funding has been approved for the program. These funds will be put toward purchasing the cameras, which will be distributed on a first-come first-serve basis.

To be eligible, one must be a verified resident of the City of Milpitas. The cameras will be distributed by the Milpitas Police Department (MPD). The MPD plans to show residents how to set up and maintain the cameras. The City hopes that along with improving safety and awareness, giving residents the cameras will increase the availability of video evidence for investigations.

The doorbell camera provides similar capabilities to Ring cameras, and does not require a monthly subscription to maintain.

“It ensures that all distributed cameras can remain fully operational without recurring costs, reduces financial barriers to participation, and supports long-term program reliability,” read a City report. “Existing digital evidence upload procedures provide a workable method for obtaining footage when needed.”

Residents would be allowed one camera per household.

In the near future, the MPD plans to order a small batch of cameras and host an event where residents can receive them. If they determine that there’s ample interest, they will purchase more cameras and host more events.

“Even with limited funding, we are committed to making this program successful,” said Councilmember Chua. “And we will advocate for additional resources, if needed, to keep our residents safe.”

Good Little Germans: Where once the suburbs were characterised by net curtains and the drone of lawn mowers, now they are defined by Ring doorbells. An unsleeping gaze is fixed on our gnomes and driveways, our children walking home and our midday deliveries. The houses have eyes now.

My street WhatsApp is populated with daily reports from neighbours’ doorbells – suspicious roofers, sinister car thieves at 3am, sometimes just a guy, standing by the wall, leaning oddly. The group buzzes frequently, too, with videos from other streets’ doorbells, images that have been forwarded so many times they have the weary sheen of photocopies. Watch out, the messages say, for men in hoods, men with bricks, men stealing packages from doorsteps, or, yesterday on our road, a doorstep itself.

As more and more millions of internet-connected doorbells and devices are sold, the problems of mass surveillance become both more expansive and more intimate. Especially as we learn (and had confirmed with last week’s Channel 4 report on Gen Z’s doubts about democracy) that people between the ages of 13 and 28 are growing “more uncertain about who to trust”. The knowledge their parents are tracking them remotely, the knowledge their privacy is a myth, how does that contribute to this instability of trust? These pricks of paranoid light that watch them as they walk home, that broadcast a darkened street to their family’s phones, that make the world seem suspicious and full of dread simply by capturing a night scene through a fisheye lens, what impact does it have on their understanding of equality, or safety, or identity, or youth? Trust takes time to earn, but falls away in seconds.

Mail on Sunday poll of 18- to 27-year-olds found 67% were in favour of chemically castrating sex offenders and 45% supported the death penalty. A study for Channel 4 found 52% of gen Zers thought “the UK would be a better place if a strong leader was in charge who does not have to bother with parliament and elections”.

“This country is hard on people.”

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has a message for young Americans looking for work in a tough job market: Don’t be deterred, even as job creation remains weak and the threat of artificial intelligence looms.

The Fed chair, who made the comments on Monday to an undergraduate economics class at Harvard University, covered a lot of ground during his hour-long appearance, including the financial system’s capacity to weather future crises. He also touched on inflation amid the war in Iran, saying that longer-term expectations remain in check.

Powell is set to step down from his role as chair in May, when he will be replaced by Kevin Warsh, a former Fed official whom President Trump nominated to the post in January. In the meantime, the Fed is wrangling with economic data showing that the inflation rate remains above the central bank’s 2% annual goal, while surging oil prices are pushing up costs at the gas pump and may ripple through the economy.

Your editorial on Israel’s military escalation in Lebanon (25 March) rightly warns against a repeat of the devastating tactics unleashed on Palestinians in Gaza.

My colleagues in Lebanon are reporting the fear instilled by mass forced-displacement orders and military attacks, including on healthcare workers. Our team and partner organisations have been supporting Palestinian refugees who have had to flee their homes, while others have not been able to evacuate even if they wish to. This has instilled deepening panic within communities, including Palestinian refugees who already live in overcrowded camps, and experience poverty and limited access to essential services.

US aircraft can continue to use the airspace and land at the bases in emergency situations, and are still able to provide logistics support to 80,000 US forces stationed across Europe.

But as The Guardian reported Monday, 15 US refueling planes were diverted from the Morón de la Frontera and Rota bases to military facilities in France and Germany at the beginning of the war.

The US was also forced to find an alternative location for B-52 and B-1 bombers due to Spain’s policy, with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer agreeing to allow Trump to send them to Fairford Air Base in Gloucestershire, England in the first days of the war.

The Seville Air Traffic Control Center has provided navigation support to B-2 Spirit bombers that have traveled from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri to carry out strikes in Iran, but those planes do not enter Spanish airspace, instead crossing the Strait of Gibraltar.

Sánchez has rejected Trump’s criticism of Spain’s policy, noting that the country has also led the way in recent years in recognizing the state of Palestine and speaking out against Israel’s assault, as other European governments eventually did.

“They say that Spain is alone,” the prime minister said earlier this month. “They said the same when we recognized the state of Palestine, and then others followed. We are not alone. We are the first. Those defending the indefensible will be the ones left alone.”

The effects of the war in Iran are squeezing consumers, businesses and governments around the world, raising the prices of many essential goods.

More Jew Software, a la Karp:

Palantir’s UK boss has urged the government not to give in to “ideologically motivated campaigners” as government ministers explore a way out of a £330m NHS contract with the tech company.

Ministers have sought advice on triggering a break clause in Palantir’s deal to deliver the Federated Data Platform (FDP), amid questions over the company’s presence in the public sector.

The FDP is an AI-enabled data platform designed to connect disparate health information across the NHS, while Palantir also has contracts with the Ministry of Defence, several police forces and the UK’s financial watchdog.

Louis Mosley, the executive vice-chair of Palantir in the UK, told the Times the government should resist calls to eject the company from NHS England’s data systems.

“Having a review clause in a contract is good and normal practice. However, what some ideologically motivated campaigners are suggesting should happen would harm patient care and prevent some of the biggest challenges facing the NHS from being tackled,” Mosley said.

“That would be a mistake. The clear evidence of the past two years of delivery is that our software is helping. It is forecast to deliver £150m in benefits by the end of the decade, representing a £5 return for every pound spent.”

A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson told the Guardian: “The NHS Federated Data Platform is helping to join up patient care, increase productivity, speed up cancer diagnosis and ensure thousands of additional patients can be treated each month – with strict requirements in place about data security and confidentiality.

“Every hospital trust and integrated care board has their own instance of the IT platform, with complete control over who has access.”

Sources close to the health secretary, Wes Streeting, point to comments he made to the Guardian Politics Weekly podcast, in which he was asked about ethical issues with engaging Palantir.

Asked if he recognised that people were worried about the deal with Palantir, given his history and the fact that it was founded by Peter Thiel, an influential figure on the American right, he said: “Yes … When you look at some of the things Palantir’s leaders have said in the States, when you look at their political views and their outlook … If you were to put [Thiel] and some of those Palantir bosses on the political spectrum in the UK, they would be well off to the right of even Kemi Badenoch’s Conservative party.”

Gilad Atzmon:

Netanyahu declares, “since the beginning of the revival war, we inflicted on Iran 10 plagues”. This declaration is made one day ahead of Passover, which celebrates the (Godly as well as genocidal) Ten Plagues of Egypt.

Just in case you ever wrongly believed that ‘Zionism is not Judaism’, the truth can’t be suppressed anymore. The Jewish State is driven by Judaic ideology, its war crimes echo the Old Testament’s barbarism, and its prime minister equates himself with the Jewish God.

Scary indeed..

Interestingly enough, I wrote today an extended piece about the crucial role of Judaism in shaping Israeli criminality. Link in the first comment.

Gilad, banned by all those Aaron Mate-Max Blumenthal-Katie Halper-Jon Stewart types.

Purim, Passover, and the war against Iran

Since Israel isn’t just a ‘Jewish State’ (the state of the Jewish people), but has gradually morphed into the Judaic State (a state driven by Judaic religion and spirit), it is crucial to examine the current Israeli-American war in Iran within the context of the Judaic religion.

The criminal war against Iran was launched one day before Purim, the most joyous Jewish holiday, which celebrates the biblical story of a Jewish genocide in ancient Persia. The celebration is inspired by the Book of Esther. It is worth mentioning that the story of Purim has zero historical support; it does not appear in any Persian historical account, yet Jewish people—both religious and secular—celebrate it.

Was the decision to launch the war on Iran a day before the Jewish celebration of a genocide in ancient Persia a coincidence? Was the decision to kill the Supreme Leader in the first air raid a tactical move, or was it inspired by religious sentiment? I will let you ponder these questions.

A month into this war, it is proving to be a catastrophe for its ‘architects’ and the West in general. It signals the long-awaited end of American global hegemony. It may well turn the prime aggressor- ISrael into WASrael.

Yet, from a Judaic point of view, we are just entering another Jewish holiday—or perhaps another ‘commemoration’ of a biblical, genocidal fantasy narrative.

Passover is, of course, a celebration of the Jewish God inflicting ten plagues on Egypt. These plagues should be described as nothing short of WMD and cosmic war crimes, entailing biological warfare of the worst kind. The Biblical plagues, in order, included turning the Nile to blood, frogs, lice/gnats, flies, livestock pestilence, boils, hail, locusts, darkness, and the death of the firstborn.

The Jewish Passover feast is a celebration of these divine collective punishments. Again, there is zero historical account of such an event ever occurring, but one thing cannot be denied: Jews, both religious and secular, celebrate this narrative of extended mass killing.

More worrying is the thought that they didn’t just invent this genocidal event and celebrate its alleged occurrence; they actually invented the God who inflicted this genocide and have adhered to Him throughout their history.

In light of this religious affinity for genocidal narratives, we shouldn’t be surprised that it was two Jewish scientists (Einstein and Szilard) who initiated the Manhattan Project and a third (Oppenheimer) who built it. The bomb was called at the time ‘The Jewish Bomb’ for a reason. It was also Fritz Haber who devised the idea of gas warfare during WWI. Haber died on his way to Palestine while making Aliyah.

The Jewish State was born in an act of mass ethnic cleansing—the 1948 Nakba—, it then locked the indigenous people of the land in open-air prisons and it did not take long before it committed the most documented genocide in human history (Gaza 2023-2026).

The war against Iran, which was declared as a ‘fight against the regime,’ quickly evolved into a war of destruction against the Iranian people. By now, it is impossible not to attempt to understand the Jewish state and its actions in light of the Judaic religion, texts, and culture.

The Passover Haggadah tells the story of the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt. In light of the destruction the New Israelites have spread around them, it seems as if the Israelites’ exodus from Palestine is now only a matter of time.

Could you imagine a situation in which during WW2 commentators would refrain from discussing the nature of German National Socialism in order to not offend a few American of German origin? Could you similarly think of British politicians stopping themselves short of criticizing the nature of USSR’s communism at the time of the Cold War in a genuine attempt not to hurt a few Brits with Russian roots?

Time is overdue to discuss the nature of the Jewish state and to grasp how Judaism, Jewishness and Jews related to each other and how these notions affect world peace…

…You still have people saying, “It’s not Jewish Billionaires, it’s all Billionaires — tax them and that will fix things.” Ahh, Cry for me, Venezuela!!!

YIKES!!! All those fucking dirty BRANDS.

Bigger things than Jewish Trump:

Mohamad Safa did not resign. He fled—morally, professionally, and vocally—from an institution he spent twelve years inside, only to conclude it is preparing to participate in a crime against humanity.

His accusation is not abstract. It is not diplomatic hedging. It is blunt, devastating, and, if even partially true, a stain that will never wash off the United Nations. Safa claims that elements within the UN are preparing for the possible use of nuclear weapons in Tehran. Tehran is a city that is home to nearly ten million people. Families. Children. A future reduced to ash—while the institution sworn to prevent such horrors looks the other way, or worse, makes itself complicit.


Let us be clear about what Safa is saying. He is not complaining about procedural inefficiency. He is alleging that the UN is being influenced by what he calls a “powerful lobby” to ignore international law, shield aggressors, and pave the way for catastrophic military action. He points to Gaza—where the UN refuses to call genocide by its name. He points to Lebanon, where ethnic cleansing unfolds without official designation. He points to Iran, a nation repeatedly certified by the International Atomic Energy Agency as compliant with its nuclear obligations, yet now allegedly in the crosshairs of a nuclear strike being *prepared* by the very body meant to prevent war.

What the fuck?

In 2016, Irma Carrillo Nevares swabbed the inside of her cheek and signed a consent form allowing the Colibrí Center for Human Rights to add her DNA to its database. Carrillo Nevares’ son and daughter had gone missing while crossing the U.S.-Mexico border 17 years earlier. She was desperate to find out what had happened to them, and Colibrí’s database offered a ray of hope.

“No matter how many years pass, it’s still a very painful trauma for us, so any option that presents itself is good,” she explained. Now that Colibrí had her sample, if any remains were ever recovered that matched her DNA, the organization would notify her. At least, that was what she thought as she handed over her genetic material.

For a decade, the nonprofit Colibrí Center for Human Rights worked with state agencies and humanitarian organizations to identify migrants whose remains were found in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands. As part of this work, the organization managed a database of DNA samples from families across the U.S. and Latin America. By 2022, Colibrí had helped facilitate hundreds of successful identifications.

But now, Colibrí’s missing-persons database has itself gone missing. Since fall 2024, none of Colibrí’s partners have been able to access it, receive information from the laboratory that stores and processes the DNA samples, or make identifications. Colibrí’s website has gone dark, and communications have ceased. In December 2025, the state of Arizona moved to dissolve the organization due to required paperwork not having been filed. Frustrated forensic practitioners across the borderlands are wondering: Is there hope for bringing the database back — or is it gone for good?

  • Operational Scope: While previously used to manage targets in the Gaza Strip, the system is now being used to coordinate strikes against high-level leadership and military assets in Iran and Lebanon.
  • Technological Integration: Reports indicate the infrastructure leverages commercial AI models and partnerships with U.S.-based firms like Palantir (Maven technology) and Anthropic (Claude LLM) to automate and stress-test large-scale military plans.
  • Strategic Impact: The AI has enabled an unprecedented scale of operations, with the U.S. and Israel reportedly striking up to 1,000 targets in Iran within a single day during the current escalation.

From that fucking manure pile, Politico:

She Spoke Out About Gaza. Now She Can’t Use a Credit Card.

After accusing governments and corporations of complicity in Gaza, the U.N. investigator for Palestine territories now finds herself in Washington’s crosshairs.

GENEVA — Francesca Albanese was on stage receiving a standing ovation when she first learned how the United States was going to punish her.

It was July 9 last year. The Italian legal expert, who is the U.N. special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories, was in the Slovenian capital Ljubljana wrapping up a two-hour talk on her most incendiary report yet.

As she spoke, her tone flicked between professorial bromides on international law and flares of outrage as she detailed how some of the world’s largest companies — including giants of American tech, energy and defense — were aiding Israel in the starvation and killing of the Palestinians of Gaza. Now and again she fixed the audience with a look of exasperation.

Francesca Albanese speaks at a United Nations event in Geneva on March 26.

When the talk ended, Albanese stood to accept the crowd’s adulation. One of the organizers walked across the stage, leaned close and said into her ear: “The United States has imposed sanctions on you.”

Albanese’s head dropped. She stared at the floor, absorbing what it meant, thinking that she needed to call her husband and children. Sanctions would cut her and her family off from U.S. banking, travel and tech. Would they be okay? But the crowd was still there. Clapping. Hollering. Her head snapped up. She stretched her arms wide, palms facing her supporters, with a wry smile that said, “What are you gonna do?”

A few seconds later, she raised a fist in the air.

“I was scared and I thought: ‘What a mafia,’” she told me when we spoke in March, referring to the U.S. administration. “‘But they will not break us.’”

Albanese is a self-admitted partisan in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, making her loved and loathed with equal extremes of feeling.

Albanese was among the first official voices to label what has happened in Gaza a genocide. In a statement last week, the Israeli mission to the U.N. Geneva said she had engaged in “virulent antisemitism.”

Her supporters — including human-rights activists, Palestinians, some Israelis and a vast legion of online followers — see Albanese as a rare and forceful voice piercing the cone of silence and indifference that has fallen over Gaza while a generational crime takes place within.

This has earned her powerful enemies. Israel and U.S. officials, antisemitism watchdogs and a group of European governments say she is an antisemite, whose simplistic depiction of the conflict and inflammatory language is fanning hatred toward Jews. Some Jews who might otherwise be sympathetic to her cause find some of her public statements — which, for instance, have drawn parallels between Israel’s government and the Nazis — troubling and offensive.

But even against a campaign to discredit and silence her, the U.S. sanctions were an escalation — and an impressive expression of American power and animus. She was, after all, an unpaid U.N. expert, whose only real weapon (aside from the symbolic authority of her office) was her voice. That’s a point her family will take up in a court in the District of Columbia on Wednesday as they challenge the sanctions on free-speech grounds.

Now she is under constraints normally reserved for narco-barons and terrorists. What had she done that was so threatening to the U.S.?

Albanese thinks she knows. “This fury comes because I poked the bear,” she said. “Not in one eye, in both eyes.”

Unilateral and Illegal Sanctions – Mainly by the United States – Kill Half a Million Civilians Per Year: The Thirty-First Newsletter (2025)

According to the Global Sanctions Database, the United States, European Union, and UN have sanctioned 25% of the countries in the world. The United States by itself sanctioned 40% of these countries, sanctions that are unilateral because they do not have the assent of a UN Security Council resolution. In the 1960s, only 8% of the world’s countries were under sanctions. This inflation of sanctions demonstrates that it has become normal for the powerful North Atlantic states to wage wars without having to fire a bullet. As US President Woodrow Wilson said in 1919 at the formation of the League of Nations, sanctions are ‘something more tremendous than war’.

The cruellest formulation of Wilson’s statement was made by Madeleine Albright, then the US ambassador to the UN, regarding the US sanctions against Iraq in the 1990s. A distinguished team of specialists from the Centre for Economic and Social Rights went to Iraq and analysed the data to find that from 1990 to 1996, sanctions had resulted in the ‘excess deaths of over 500,000 children under the age of five. In simple terms, more Iraqi children have died as a result of sanctions than the combined toll of two atomic bombs on Japan and the recent scourge of ethnic cleansing in former Yugoslavia’. On the CBS television programme 60 Minutes, journalist Leslie Stahl asked Albright about this study, saying ‘we have heard that half a million children have died. I mean, that is more children than died in Hiroshima. And you know, is the price worth it?’. This was a sincere question. Albright had the opportunity to say many things: she could have said that she had not yet had time to study the report, or she could have shifted the blame to the policies of Saddam Hussein. Instead, she answered, ‘I think that it is a very hard choice, but the price, we think, the price is worth it’.

In other words, it was worth killing half a million children to destabilise the Iraqi government led by Saddam Hussein. Of course, that government was not overthrown by sanctions. Instead, the people suffered for another seven years, for which there was no comparable study done on excess deaths. It took the massive illegal US invasion to overthrow the Iraqi government (illegal because there was no UN Security Council resolution). To be fair to Albright, she later said, ‘I have said 5,000 times that I regret it. It was a stupid statement. I never should have made it’. But she did. And it made its mark.

So, what does The Lancet’s new study on international sanctions show?

  1. From 1971 to 2021, unilateral sanctions have been the cause of death for 564,258 people per year.
  2. The number of people who die because of sanctions is greater than the number of battle-related casualties (106,000 deaths per year) ‘and similar to some estimates in the total death toll of wars including civilian casualties (around half a million deaths per year)’.
  3. The most vulnerable population groups, as you would expect, are children under five and older people. Deaths of children under five years ‘represented 51% of total deaths caused by sanctions over the 1970–2021 period’.
  4. Unilateral sanctions by the United States and the European Union are more deadly than UN sanctions, with ‘US sanctions appear[ing] to be driving the adverse mortality effects’. This is because ‘unilateral sanctions imposed by the USA or the EU might be designed in ways that have a greater negative effect on target populations’.
  5. The reason why US sanctions – with the EU alongside them – have such negative effects is due to the ‘widespread use of the US dollar and the euro in international banking transactions and as global reserve currencies, and the extraterritorial application of sanctions, particularly by the USA’.
  6. The analysis shows that ‘the effects of sanctions on mortality generally increase over time, with longer-lived sanctions episodes resulting in higher tolls on lives’.

Based on these findings, the study concludes that ‘from a rights-based perspective, evidence that sanctions lead to losses in lives should be sufficient reason to advocate for the suspension of their use’.

In March 2025, we published a dossier called Imperialist War and Feminist Resistance in the Global South, primarily looking at the case of Venezuela, and which described the impact of sanctions and how a society under attack is held together by the work of women. They know what the ‘rain of ruin’ feels like and they are fighting to strengthen their societies against it. As we showed in our FACTS analysis, sanctions against Venezuela resulted in a loss of 213% of its Gross Domestic Product between January 2017 and December 2024, which amounts to a total estimated loss of $226 billion or $77 million per day.

In 1995, during the sanctions against Iraq and before the United States invaded that country illegally in 2003, Saadi Youssef (1934–2021) wrote a miraculous poem called ‘America, America’. Here is the last stanza:

We are not hostages, America,
and your soldiers are not God’s soldiers…
We are the poor ones, ours is the earth of the drowned gods,
the gods of bulls,
the gods of fires,
the gods of sorrows that intertwine clay and blood in a song…
We are the poor, ours is the god of the poor,
who emerges out of farmers’ ribs,
hungry
and bright,
and raises heads up high…

America, we are the dead.
Let your soldiers come.
Whoever kills a man, let him resurrect him.
We are the drowned ones, dear lady.
We are the drowned.
Let the water come.

America, America

God save America
My home sweet home!
The French general who raised his tricolour
over Nagrat al-Salman where I was a prisoner thirty years ago . . .
in the middle of that U-turn
that split the back of the Iraqi army,
the general who loved St Emilion wines
called Nagrat al-Salman a fort . . .
Of the surface of the earth, generals know only two dimensions:
whatever rises is a fort
whatever spreads is a battlefield.
How ignorant the general was!
But Liberation was better versed in topography.
The Iraqi boy who conquered her front page
sat carbonised behind a steering wheel
on the Kuwait- Safwan highway
while television cameras
(the booty of the defeated and their identity)
were safe in the truck like a storefront
on rue Rivoli.
The neutron bomb is highly intelligent,
it distinguishes between
an ìIî and an ìIdentityî.
God save America

I need neither oil, nor America herself, neither the elephant nor the donkey.
Leave me, pilot, leave my house roofed with palm fronds and this wooden bridge.

Now as I look across the balcony
across the summer sky, the summery summer
Damascus spins, dizzied among television aerials
then it sinks, deeply, in the stories of the forts

then disappears from the balcony.

And now
I remember trees:
the date palm of our mosque in Basra, at the end of Basra
the bird’s beak
and a child’s secret
a summer feast.
I remember the date palm.
I touch it. I become it, when it falls black without fronds
when a dam fell hewn by lightning.
And I remember the mighty mulberry
when it rumbled, butchered with an axe . . .
to fill the stream with leaves
and birds
and angels
and green blood.
I remember when pomegranate blossoms covered the sidewalks,
the students were leading the workers’ parade . . .
The trees die
pummelled
dizzied,
not standing
the trees die.
God save America
My home sweet home!
We are not hostages, America
and your soldiers are not God’s soldiers . . .
We are the poor ones, ours is the earth of the drowned gods
the gods of bulls

the gods of sorrows that intertwine clay and blood in a song . . .
We are the poor, ours is the god of the poor

Read: The Weight on Delcy Rodriguez

[It is in the context of this longstanding socialist reluctance to use violence that you have to view Maduro’s decision to stand down the defence forces in the event of an American kidnap mission. This is a government which does not just use revolutionary slogans, it lives by them, and “peace” is a key one. Maduro almost certainly hoped that domestic solidarity would oblige his return quickly, as had happened with Chavez. It is unlikely it occurred to him that Trump would simply – and pointlessly – remove Maduro and leave his government in power.

Multiple sources have confirmed to me that the Venezuelan forces were ordered to stand down. I visited the hillside location at Fierte Tiuna where young female Lieutenant Alejandra del Valle Oliveros Velásquez , age 23, refused the order to stand down and continued to stand guard with her gun at a vital hilltop communications facility. She died as it was struck by American missiles.]

Almost everything you are told in the West about Venezuela is untrue, and the biggest lie is that Machado, Guaido and the groupings around them are in any sense democrats or liberal. They are not, and have direct family and political links to the murderous CIA sponsored regimes of the pre-Chavez years. They also have many scores to settle – Machado’s family, to give just one example, dominated the electricity supply before it was nationalized.

A very large number of the “political prisoners” the West is so concerned about, were involved in efforts at military coup or violent insurrection, of which Guaido’s comic opera attempt in 2019 was only the most publicized. After the disputed 2024 elections many of those imprisoned were actually brandishing weapons – I met the families of three young men who told me their sons were misled into taking to the streets with guns, and hoped they would get out in the current amnesty.

Sanctions caused great economic hardship, which affected government popularity. But it is a huge error to conflate discontent at the Maduro government with support for Machado – there is almost no evidence of the latter, no matter how hard you look. That Machado does not have the internal support to run the country is one of the few things Trump has stated truthfully. The alternative to the socialist government is chaos.

So Delcy Rodriguez has to maintain the Socialist Party in government, or see supporters butchered and the start of a civil war. At the same time, she has to contend with the blatant colonialist assertion of control over Venezuela’s assets and finances by the USA, while placating the irascible and irrational Trump.

Let us get one thing straight. I have spoken personally to those closest to President Nicolas Maduro. I have spoken with Francisco Torrealba, who followed Maduro as President of the Transport Workers Union and also took over Maduro’s seat in the National Assembly. I have spoken to Maduro’s son, also Nicolas. None of these people believes for one second that Delcy Rodriguez was in any way implicated in the kidnapping of Nicolas and Cilia Maduro.

Why does almost everybody in the West believe a narrative that nobody in Venezuela believes, and which I am quite certain is untrue?

That narrative has been force-fed to you. Trump undermined Delcy Rodriguez by open praise of her and assertion that she is his choice. The truth of course is different: as Maduro’s Vice-President, she naturally assumes the duties of President, as confirmed by the Venezuelan Supreme Court. A coordinated effort of briefings to journalists by the Trump administration, by the security services, and by Machado aligned Venezuelans in Miami, gave to the media in a coordinated fashion a detailed story of negotiations between Delcy and her brother Jorge and the Americans, for a strategy of economic reform that included Maduro’s removal.

I have looked again through many articles that forward this narrative, and all of them very obviously come primarily from Washington sources, and it is a narrative that the United States has been very, very assiduous in feeding you.

It’s more than what Upton Sinclair wrote a million years ago. The nanny state, the HR Drachonian state, the inability to travel through politics, history, civics, and current events.

ekins-hit-1.jpg

So, I was at a volunteer meeting for drivers who putter around the state to take seniors on outings, trips to museums, festivals, and other activities. The latest trips from Lincoln County are shopping trips — they pay $10 each for the van, and we take 8, 9 or more to Costco or Winco to load up on things.

“We’ll be seeing more of an interest in these sorts of trips,” one of the drivers said. “With things as they are.”

Please, let’s move onto the reason and why things are the way they are or are going the way they are. Nope.

Self-censorship is on the rise since 2017. It’s up 12 points among progressives (30–42 percent), and up 7 points among centrist liberals (45 to 52 percent), moderates (57 percent-64 percent), and centrist conservatives (70–77 percent). Only staunch conservatives haven’t changed much, perhaps because 76 percent said they were already self-censoring three years ago.

One-Third Worry about Their Views Affecting Careers

Many are concerned about their livelihoods and the ability to provide for their families. Almost one-third (32 percent) of employed people say they worry they could get fired or miss out on job opportunities if their political views became known.

Just maybe, just maybe, a deeper and longer conversation about this dirty country’s wars and baby killing and sick masurbation complex with Israel, but more importantly with uniformed disservices and the baby-killer bomb makers would get us outside that fucking one day box!

And so we are kettled more and more as HR scours social media posts (they are not supposed to do that, but…), ready to disqualify any applicant, but they will come up with some other excuse, “Oh, thanks for your application. While you have strong credentials, many applied, and someone more suited to and more qualified for the position was offered the job.”

This is the reality of our fucking Teletubby Times:

Dear Paul,

The third round of “No Kings” demonstrations on March 28 drew millions of people into the streets across the United States in what was the largest single-day protest in American history. Organizers estimated that roughly 8 million people participated in more than 3,300 events across the 50 states in every major city, along with hundreds of small towns.

The scale of individual demonstrations was extraordinary: Minneapolis–St. Paul, designated the national flagship event, drew between 100,000 and 200,000 people. Large protests were reported across the country, including an estimated 350,000 in New York City; 180,000 in Boston; 200,000 in Chicago; 90,000 in Seattle and 40,000 in San Diego. Roughly 600 events took place in predominantly rural, Republican-leaning communities, underscoring the national breadth of opposition.

The scale of the March 28 protests reflected the depth of popular anger at the advance of dictatorship at home and the escalation of imperialist war abroad. A collision is unfolding between a capitalist oligarchy that is breaking with democratic forms of rule and the broad mass of the population.

A section of the massive 8220;No Kings8221; rally in New York City, March 28, 2026.

Read the full perspective

The war against Iran, now one month old, was a decisive animating force for those participating. While it was downplayed by the organizations that called the protests, opposition was expressed in signs and chants in city after city. As the demonstrations were taking place, Trump was preparing a further escalation with potentially catastrophic consequences for the planet.

The question that must be confronted is: Given the scale of opposition, how is Trump still in power? How can a criminal regime—operating in open violation of the Constitution, erecting a dictatorship, and dragging the population of the world into an illegal war of aggression—continue to govern?

The answer lies in the political chasm between the anger of millions and the supposed opposition, including the Democratic Party-aligned groups that called the protests. This was expressed most sharply in the deliberate downplaying of the war.

David North, chairman of the International Editorial Board of the World Socialist Web Site, was barred from addressing a “No Kings” rally in Nuremberg, Germany. Democratic Party operatives “would not allow me to speak and condemn the illegal war against Iran, which the Democrats support,” North noted.

Speaking from outside the Palace of Justice in Nuremberg—where Nazi leaders were tried for crimes against peace 80 years ago—North declared: “If the principles of Nuremberg were applied today, those responsible for the launching of the war against Iran—the leaders of the US government, Trump, Hegseth, Rubio, and the rest—would be found guilty of the very crimes of which the Nazi leaders were convicted. The war against Iran is a war of aggression. It is an illegal war… How will it be stopped? Only through the development of a movement of the working class within the United States, throughout Europe and globally.”

At the major rallies, Democratic politicians either ignored the war entirely or reduced it to a passing phrase, because they agree with the war’s fundamental aims. Bernie Sanders’ remarks in Minnesota were the only comments by a major Democratic Party figure that devoted more than a sentence to the war. But Sanders’ function is not to develop opposition to war and dictatorship, but to prevent it. He presents the war primarily as the product of Trump and Netanyahu, not as the outcome of the class interests of American imperialism and a bipartisan policy pursued for decades.

Millions of workers participated in the demonstrations, but they did so as individuals, not as an organized force. This expresses the role of the union bureaucracy in suppressing independent working class action. AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler did not mention war once. Neither she nor AFT President Randi Weingarten suggested that workers actually do anything to oppose the Trump administration outside of voting for Democrats.

The March 28 demonstrations expressed deep and widespread opposition to the Trump administration, but this opposition is not yet guided by a clear political program. The central task is to arm it with a conscious perspective equal to the scale of the crisis. Certain fundamental points must be stressed:

First, the Trump administration is proceeding simultaneously with the escalation of war abroad and its conspiracy for dictatorship at home. Its response to mass opposition is not concessions but the intensification of repression—the obliteration of democratic rights, the normalization of police-state methods, and the preparation of ever more violent measures to silence dissent.

Second, Trump’s actions do not arise simply from his personal depravity. He speaks and acts as the representative of a class—the capitalist oligarchy—that is breaking with legality and democratic forms of rule in order to defend its wealth and global interests.

Third, the Democratic Party represents the same class. It differs from Trump only over tactics and presentation, while enabling the war and working systematically to divert opposition into electoral dead ends and safe channels that do not threaten the foundations of capitalist rule.

Fourth, the decisive social force that must be mobilized is the working class, organized independently of the trade union apparatus. The protests coincide with a deepening eruption of the class struggle, but this movement is being blocked and dissipated by a union bureaucracy integrated into the corporations and the state.

The essential next step is the building of independent rank-and-file committees, rooted in workplaces and uniting workers in the United States with workers internationally. The International Workers Alliance of Rank-and-File Committees encourages the building and linking of these committees to prepare coordinated action against the war machine and the assault on democratic rights.

We are winning the Epstein War now. Can’t wait for more Holly-Dirt drump is about to go down? Give me a fucking Hollywood break!!

Perversion of Justice: The Jeffrey Epstein Story, the New York Times bestelling book by investigative journalist Julie K. Brown, is in the works for television with Oscar, Emmy and Golden Globe winner Laura attached to star and executive produce. Sony Pictures Television is hitting the market with the timely project, a limited series, produced by Adam McKay’s Hyperobject Industries.

The event series is described as an explosive account of an investigative reporter exposing the secret plea deal between Epstein and federal prosecutors. Drawing from Brown’s experience as a groundbreaking reporter for the Miami Herald, the book and the limited series follow her relentless years-long investigation that identified 80 victims, persuaded key survivors to go on the record, and led to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s arrests.

Oh, that fucking Catholic lick . . . Whitney is good: Dore is so slow, so stupid, and he counts Steve Bannon as a friend of the show. Fucking crackpot.

Early last year, shortly after Donald Trump took office for his second term, former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy announced he was departing the recently-formed Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E) after reports of conflict with the department’s co-head, Elon Musk. Ramaswamy joined Fox News to clarify these rumors, and to tease his next endeavor –– holding public office. Ramaswamy noted Musk’s approach was “a technology approach,” whereas his was “focused more on a constitutional law, legislative-based approach.” He furthered, “when you’re talking about a constitutional revival, it’s not just done through the federal government, it’s done through federalism, where states also lead the way.” Despite their differences, Ramaswamy importantly remarked that they were both “on the same page” and that their attempts “in saving the country” required them to “divide and conquer.”

Towards the end of the interview, Ramaswamy mentioned he was flying back to Ohio that week, with an announcement regarding his expressed intention of pushing for reform at the state level coming shortly. The former presidential hopeful explained that when “we look at the country over the last 20 years, Silicon Valley was at the bleeding edge of the American economy. I think the Ohio River Valley can be at the bleeding edge of the American economy for the next 20 years.” A few weeks later, Ramaswamy’s gubernatorial campaign for Ohio was announced and the former D.O.G.E. co-head was promptly endorsed by President Trump. Over the course of that campaign, Vivek’s fortunes have quite literally soared. Since launching his campaign, he has not only come to command a massive campaign war chest filled by deep-pocketed donors, but his own net worth has doubled.

A Haverford College student resolution could start a process to strip Howard  Lutnick's name from the library

Oh, now these are rebels. A fucking name change for his Epstein Cuntology:

Recent Government & Political Controversies

  • Jeffrey Epstein Ties: Lutnick has faced bipartisan calls to resign after DOJ files revealed he misrepresented his relationship with the convicted sex offender. Despite previously claiming he cut ties in 2005, Lutnick testified in February 2026 that he and his family visited Epstein’s private island for lunch in 2012. Records also suggest business connections, including investments in a digital ad firm alongside Epstein through 2018.
  • Tariff Profiteering Allegations: House Democrats have demanded records regarding allegations that Cantor Fitzgerald, now led by Lutnick’s sons, “bet” on the reversal of the administration’s tariff policies. Internal documents reportedly suggest the firm purchased rights to tariff refunds at a steep discount, potentially yielding a 300% to 500% return following a Supreme Court ruling against the tariffs.
  • Social Security Remarks: In 2025, Lutnick sparked outrage by suggesting that the “easiest way to find fraudsters” in the Social Security system is to stop payments and see who complains. Critics, including Mark Cuban, slammed the comments as “cavalier” and out of touch with retirees who depend on the checks for survival.
  • Transition Team Conflicts: During the Trump transition, Lutnick was accused by insiders of mixing business with government duties by allegedly using transition-related meetings on Capitol Hill to discuss regulatory matters benefiting Cantor Fitzgerald’s cryptocurrency interests.

Business & Historic Controversies

  • Post-9/11 Paycheck Suspension: Following the 2001 terrorist attacks that killed 658 Cantor Fitzgerald employees, Lutnick drew intense criticism for cutting off paychecks to the families of missing workers just four days after the tragedy. While he later committed 25% of the firm’s profits to these families for five years, the initial move left a lasting negative impression in the industry.
  • Illegal Gambling & Money Laundering: Lutnick’s affiliate company, Cantor Gaming (later CG Technology), was embroiled in a massive scandal involving illegal sports betting and money laundering. In 2016, the company paid roughly $30 million to settle investigations after admitting to crimes including facilitating out-of-state betting and partnering with an illegal ring known as the “Jersey Boys.”
  • Hostile Takeover of Cantor Fitzgerald: In 1996, as his mentor Bernie Cantor lay dying, Lutnick engaged in a bitter legal battle with Cantor’s wife, Iris, for control of the firm. The dispute was so heated that he was reportedly barred from Bernie Cantor’s funeral

“The Army is aware of a video circulating online that appears to show AH‑64 Apache helicopters operating in the vicinity of a private residence in the Nashville area,” Maj. Jonathon Bless, the spokesperson for the 101st Airborne Division, told The Hill in a statement Monday.

On Saturday, Rock posted a video on social media of him saluting one of the helicopters that hovered near his home’s pool with the caption: “This is a level of respect that s‑‑‑ for brains Governor of California will never know. God Bless America and all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend her.”

Friedman was particularly skeptical about the ways in which press space was being provided to the seven New York Times reporters, whom he previously ruled should have their press access badges returned.

Oh no, those fucking people, HR? What Top Executives Say About the Future of Work

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the use of “computers and machines to mimic the problem-solving and decision-making capabilities of the human mind,” according to IBM[1]

The idea of AI dates back at least 2,700 years. As explained by Adrienne Mayor, research scholar, folklorist, and science historian at Stanford University, “Our ability to imagine artificial intelligence goes back to ancient times. Long before technological advances made self-moving devices possible, ideas about creating artificial life and robots were explored in ancient myths.” [2]

Mayor notes that the myths about Hephaestus, the Greek god of invention and blacksmithing, included precursors to AI. For example, Hephaestus created the giant bronze man Talos, which had a mysterious life force from the gods called ichor. Hephaestus also created Pandora and her infamous and powerful jar/box, as well as a set of automated servants made of gold that were given the knowledge of the gods. Mayor concludes, “Not one of those myths has a good ending once the artificial beings are sent to Earth. It’s almost as if the myths say that it’s great to have these artificial things up in heaven used by the gods. But once they interact with humans, we get chaos and destruction.” [2]

The modern notion of AI largely began when Alan Turing, who contributed to breaking the Nazis’ Enigma code during World War II, created the “Turing test” to determine if a computer is capable of “thinking.” The value and legitimacy of the test have long been debated. [1] [3] [4]

The “Father of Artificial Intelligence,” John McCarthy, coined the term “artificial intelligence” as “the science and engineering of making intelligent machines.” He would go on to create the computer programming language LISP (which is still used in AI), host computer chess games against human Russian opponents, and develop the first computer with “hand-eye” capability, all important building blocks for AI. [1] [5] [6] [7]

AI technology continued to grow at a rapid pace during the 1950s. And, as computers became cheaper in the 1960s and ’70s, AI programs flourished, and U.S. government agencies including the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) began to fund AI-related research. But computers were still too weak to manage the language tasks researchers asked of them. Another influx of funding in the 1980s and early ’90s furthered the research, including the invention of expert systems. But progress again waned with another drop in government funding. [10]

More recently, advances in computer storage limits and speeds have opened new avenues for AI research and implementation, aiding scientific research and forging new paths in medicine for patient diagnosis, robotic surgery, and drug development. [1] [10] [11] [12]

Now, artificial intelligence is used for a variety of everyday implementations including facial recognition software, online shopping algorithms, search engines, digital assistants like Siri and Alexa, translation services, automated safety functions on cars, cybersecurity, airport body scanning security, poker playing strategy, and fighting disinformation on social media[13] [58] [120]

There are several kinds of AI:

  • Weak/Narrow/Generative AI: the common, general type of AI used to “generate” answers and content, designed to perform specific tasks within a limited, predefined scope; it is found in virtual voice digital assistants like Siri and Alexa and popularly used in content creation, including text from chatbots, images, and music.
  • Agentic AI : stronger than “weak” and “narrow” AI, capable of not just generating answers and creating content from human prompts but serving as a semi-autonomous agent, troubleshooting and deciding which actions to take amid multipart tasks, all within human-set parameters but with minimal human oversight; agentic AI is an emerging technology and is increasingly used in customer service.
  • Strong AI (AGI: Artificial General Intelligence): stronger than agentic AI and still theoretical today, mirroring human intelligence and capable of autonomous reasoning, solving problems it was not trained on, and learning from experience and adjusting its future actions accordingly; it could discover new scientific principles, create new technologies, and manage highly complex, globally integrated systems. including world economies, climates, and infrastructure.
  • Superintelligent AI: stronger than even Strong AI, capable of surpassing human intelligence, in creativity, problem-solving, and emotionality, raising a myriad of ethical questions and posing existential risks; purely theoretical, this form of AI would be beyond human control.[121] [122]

“I do think it’s an organizational, transformational challenge and not a technological one,” Gareth Lewis of Lewis People & Culture Advisory said at one point. “But right now the conversation’s all around tools, efficiencies, headcount reductions, and not so much about how we actually are going to redesign our roles.”

Luxury cunts:

Colorado’s congressional delegation isn’t giving up the fight to block a planned luxury community above the Eagle River.

U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet and Rep. Joe Neguse, both Democrats, last week proposed legislation that would prevent the Forest Service from spending any money to build an approved road across public land from the Eagle River to a 680-acre ridgetop parcel where Florida developers are planning a 19-home community.

It is the second time this year that Bennet, a third-term senator who is running for Colorado governor, has sought to block White River National Forest staffing or funding for a controversial road leading to Berlaimont Estates above Edwards. His amendment to the Senate Interior Appropriations bill in January was not adopted.

The Forest Resources Accountability Act says the Forest Service should be working toward wildfire mitigation after an exceptionally dry winter, especially after the Trump administration’s reduction of 6,000 agency jobs last year. The proposed legislation would prevent the Forest Service from directing taxpayer dollars toward a road for a gated community of mansions.

“Heading into such a challenging summer, the Forest Service needs to be laser-focused on the public good,” Bennet said in a statement. “They simply do not have the capacity to divert staff time to projects that only benefit the very wealthy few.”

The cunt who killed his cousin with drugs, that’s the ticket. FUCK. As many as 50 million people in the United States are thought to struggle with an addiction to drugs or alcohol. The majority don’t get treatment for it, and of those who do seek treatment, about half relapse within the first year.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has his own story of addiction and credits Alcoholics Anonymous with keeping him sober. But Secretary Kennedy has said that a treatment program in Italy that has shown great success in keeping people sober should serve as the vision for what addiction treatment could be here in the US. On this episode of The Sunday Story, WBUR‘s Deborah Becker travels to Italy to see firsthand how a treatment program at an Italian vineyard has created so many success stories.

It is in the nature of things that chidren can never win a war – and it is In the nature of things that all wars are waged against children. Some weapons are aimed at them directly – and children lose their lives, their eyesight. their arms and legs and mental faculties, just as if they, were soldiers. These are only some of the victims, for, finally, every weapon has the same target. The mere existence of a tank or a gun means there are fewer hoes and scythes and tractorsless food for the children. Even before the guns start firing, the arithmetic of war deprives the children of their natural providers, the fathers who till the fields, build the homes and get the fuel to keep them warm. When the shooting is over, it is not the dead who count their dead, for it is the children who reckon their losses, and finally pay the tragic reckoning for all the wars.

This guy will ban me from his Substack, for sure . . . The Worse the War, the More the Lies. The Danger of Dishonest Wannabe Warlords from William Astore ;

The worse a war goes, the more those who wage it feel compelled to lie about it.

That pattern is visible today in America’s escalating conflict with Iran. This isn’t a war formally declared, clearly explained, or honestly debated. It’s a murky, shifting confrontation—unnecessary, immoral, and strategically incoherent. And as its logic weakens, the rhetoric surrounding it grows louder, simpler, and less tethered to reality.

NOPE: My Comment . . .

Since World War II, during a supposed golden age of peace, the United States military has killed or helped kill some 20 million people, overthrown at least 36 governments, interfered in at least 86 foreign elections, attempted to assassinate over 50 foreign leaders, and dropped bombs on people in over 30 countries. The United States is responsible for the deaths of 5 million people in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, and over 1 million just since 2003 in Iraq.

Since 2001, the United States has been systematically destroying a region of the globe, bombing Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, and Syria, not to mention the Philippines. The United States has “special forces” operating in two-thirds of the world’s countries and non-special forces in three-quarters of them.

See also How Many Millions Have Been Killed in America’s Post-9/11 Wars? Part 3: Libya, Syria, Somalia and Yemen by Nicolas Davies From 2018, this article estimates 5 to 7 million people directly killed by U.S. wars since 2001 in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Syria, Somalia and Yemen.

From Jolly Frog France: When comedy is branded crime

It is not normally a risky cloak-and-dagger endeavour to head out with some friends on a Saturday night to see a show by a well-known 60-year comedian.

But, here in France, this is indeed the case if the comedian in question is M’bala M’bala Dieudonné (pictured), who became a big name in the 1990s and was also once known for his political campaigning against racism and the far right.

For the last 12 years he has been relentlessly legally persecuted – he is currently forced to wear an electronic tracking bracelet – and treated as a social pariah by politicians and corporate media.

Mainstream venues have refused to host him, local authorities have repeatedly banned him from performing on their patch and he has been arrested on stage while trying to do his act.

Even his audiences have been criminalised – being fined merely for having attended wildcat shows.

Dieudonné’s terrible crime? To have criticised those we are never allowed to criticise, by poking fun at Israelis and Zionists.

And we now know specifically who is behind this ongoing vicious cancelling campaign.

A Jewish Plan, that Jared Kushner Plan: According to reports in March 2026, President Donald Trump stated that his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, was among the advisors who encouraged him to initiate military action against Iran. Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff reportedly advised the White House that Iran was using negotiations to buy time, leading to the decision to greenlight operations

In countries destroyed by the West, people should stop admiring the U.S and Europe

By Andre Vltchek (Posted Feb 26, 2019)

Are we dealing with the so-called “Stockholm Syndrome” here? Most likely, yes. The victim falls in love with her or his tormentor.

For long centuries, the West has been colonizing, usurping, literally terrorizing the entire planet. Hundreds of millions have died as a result of colonialism, neo-colonialism, and imperialism. Wealth, cultural and educational institutions, hospitals, transportation, parks–all that Europe and North America possess to date and boast about, was constructed on mountains of bones, on genocide and unbridled plunder.

That cannot be disputed, can it?

Slavery, mass murder, genocidal expansions; the West robbed the world, and then consolidated its power, promoting its exceptionalism through relentless brainwashing (called ‘education’), propaganda (called ‘information’), and twisted entertainment for the masses that inhabit poor countries (called ‘culture’ and ‘the arts’).

Shockingly and absurdly, Europe and North America are still loved and admired by many, even (or especially) in such places where Western governments and companies plagued everything like locusts, leaving to the locals only burned land, poison and miserable slums.

How is it possible?

For years, I have been working in Africa, a continent which was entirely subjugated by the U.K., France, Germany, Belgium and other European expansionist nations. Africa from where millions of men, women and children were brought in chains to the “New World”, as slaves. Where millions died during the ‘hunt’, where millions died in ‘transit centers’, and then, on the open seas. That’s tens of millions of ruined lives. The complete plunder of the resources, the unimaginable humiliation of the people, broken cultures, genocides and holocaust against local individualsfrom what is now Namibia, to the Democratic Republic of Congo. Great African heroes like Lumumba assassinated by the Western rulers.

And yet, many Africans see the West as some great ‘example’, as a ‘guiding light’, as a severe but respectable ‘daddy’, who uses the belt when it is necessary, but who also rewards justly those of his ‘children’ who ‘behave properly’.

It is repulsive, but undeniable.

The greatest African writers are now teaching at U.S. and U.K. universities. They have been ‘neutralized’ and ‘pacified’, many of them out rightly bought. In many countries, African judges wear comical white wigs, doing their best to look like their British counterparts.The children of corrupt elites are collecting diplomas from the U.K. and French universities, imitating upper-class European accents.

To behave, to look and sound like the colonizers, is something that brings respect.

The same on the Sub-Continent, of course.

The mannerism among the upper classes in India and Pakistan are those of the U.K. (and lately, of the U.S.). Elites there go out of their way to be more British than the Brits; more Californian than the inhabitants of the U.S. West Coast. Countless private Indian universities call themselves ‘American’ or ‘British’, with ‘Oxford’ or ‘Cambridge’ frequently ‘decorating’ their names.

‘To be accepted’ in Europe or North America is the highest honor, in almost all former colonies, therefore, in almost the entire world.

‘Well groomed’, well-educated and modern Asians, Latin Americans, Africans and the Middle Easterners are expected to ape Westerners;to dress like Westerners, eat (and drink) like the Westerners and to ‘defend the same values’ as them.

In fact, they are expected to be much more Western than the Westerners.

But ‘expected’ by whom? Yes, you guess correctly: very often by their own people!

MOD Squad or God Squad?

How’s that No God Squad Day going?

Donald Trump is dispatching a so-called “God squad” of top officials to revoke protections for endangered species in the Gulf of Mexico, purportedly to protect national security by expanding oil and gas industry operations.

If successful, the administration may kill off dozens of protected species – from Rice’s whales and whooping cranes to sea turtles.

The rarely used “God squad” provision in the Endangered Species Act (ESA) allows a president to convene a committee of agency heads empowered to effectively veto protections for species on the brink of extinction. The committee essentially weighs whether the benefits from a proposed project outweigh the continued existence of protected wildlife.

The Trump administration is attempting to justify the ESA exemption for “reasons of national security”, marking the first time a security claim has been made. However, oil and gas companies have not asked for the exemption, raising questions about why it is being requested, said Brett Hartl, government affairs director for the Center For Biological Diversity, which has sued to stop the committee from convening.

The move is presumably aimed at bringing down gas prices that are soaring amid the US-Israel war on Iran, opponents say. Trump wants to make it appear as if the administration is taking action over the growing crisis, but the claim that there is a national security threat is “nonsense” for a multitude of reasons, Hartl said.

“What is the threat here? Or is the main threat Donald Trump’s abysmal polling numbers?” Hartl asked. “This is performative and it’s red meat being thrown to the far-right and industry.”

13-Year-Old Bride of Rock and Roll Star Jerry Lee Lewis Shares Her Story

Oh, the other Jerry Lewis (Levitch) : Jerry Lewis’s Costars Speak Out: “He Grabbed Me. He Began to Fondle Me. I Was Dumbstruck”

Women first interviewed by the directors behind Allen v. Farrow say the comedy icon sexually harassed—and in at least one case, sexually assaulted—them with impunity. A special collaboration, including a mini doc, between V.F. and the filmmakers.

[Lewis was born as Joseph Levitch on March 16, 1926, in Newark, New Jersey, to a Jewish family. His parents were Daniel “Danny” Levitch (1902–1980), a master of ceremonies and vaudevillian who performed under the stage name Danny Lewis, whose parents immigrated to the United States from the Russian Empire to New York, and Rachael “Rae” Levitch (née Brodsky; 1904–1982), a WOR radio pianist and Danny’s music director, from Warsaw.]

“It’s as broad as possible, and that’s by design,” TrackAIPAC co-founder Casey Kennedy told The Intercept. Instead of just AIPAC, the group tracks spending from across the pro-Israel lobby. “We want to provide the most encapsulating picture that we can of who’s giving to the lobby and where they’re giving to,” Kennedy said.

In 2017, police in Laredo, Texas, arrested citizen journalist Patricia Villarreal under an obscure and never previously used law making it a felony to ask government employees for nonpublic information for personal benefit. Her supposed crime was asking a police officer about two local tragedies — a suicide and a deadly car wreck.

Her arrest was widely ridiculed, and a judge quickly threw out the charges. When Villarreal sued over her arrest and mistreatment by officers, the legal question wasn’t whether the charges against her were permissible but whether they were so obviously bogus that she could overcome qualified immunity, the unjust and expansive legal shield that protects government employees from liability for all but the most blatant violations. That issue went to the Supreme Court twice, but on Monday, the Court declined to review a federal appellate court’s ruling that the officers were shielded from liability.

These reporters and media organizations wrote about how this important First Amendment case will impact the rights of all journalists:

  • The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and 24 news organizations including The New York TimesThe Washington Post, and Dow Jones & Company (owner of The Wall Street Journal) demonstrate how history shows that “no technique has been more routine or central to newsgathering — from the Founding through the present day — than pursuing information about government affairs simply by asking for it.” In addition to attorneys from the Reporters Committee, the media coalition is also represented by Jackson Walker LLP.
  • The MuckRock Foundation, an organization that drives public records requests across the country, is a nonprofit that assists the public in filing governmental requests for public records and then publishes the returned information on its website for public access. Journalists routinely use records MuckRock publishes to expose government corruption, misuse of government funds, and other matters of public concern. MuckRock’s brief warns that if upheld, “the Fifth Circuit’s decision will encourage other government officials, both high and petty, to harass, threaten, and arrest people for requesting information that the government would prefer not to release — even if the government may lawfully release the information under state law.” MuckRock is represented by Prince Lobel Tye LLP.
  • group of five current and former journalists — David BarstowKathleen McElroyWalter RobinsonJohn Schwartz, and Jacob Sullum — emphasizes that no reasonable official would have thought Priscilla’s basic reporting practice was criminal. They also use real-life examples to demonstrate that “journalists cannot do their jobs if they must fear that any interaction with the government — even a simple request for truthful, factual information — may be used as a pretext for an arrest and criminal prosecution.” The journalists are represented by counsel at Covington & Burling LLP.
  • The Dallas Free Press submitted a brief with Avi Adelman and Steven Monacelli, two independent journalists who, like Priscilla, have been arrested or detained while reporting on law enforcement. The brief details how when faced with “closed doors and empty mailboxes … journalists must develop alternative sources to perform their job — a public service indispensable to our democracy.” And if communicating with these sources could result in arrest, independent journalists “are especially vulnerable … given that they may lack the resources and institutional backing of a larger news outlet in the event that they are prosecuted.” The Dallas Free PressAdelman, and Monacelli are represented by the SMU Dedman School of Law First Amendment ClinicThomas Leatherbury, and Vinson & Elkins LLP.

This impressive group of organizations across the ideological spectrum wrote to emphasize the problems with applying qualified immunity in cases like Priscilla’s:

  • First Liberty Institute explains that “the government arresting a journalist for asking questions so obviously violates the First Amendment that no reasonable official would sanction such an action.” And FLI points out that “it comes as no surprise that there is no case directly on point with the facts here” because “these sorts of outrageous fact patterns are more frequently found in law school exams than in real life.” FLI is represented by Dentons Bingham Greenbaum LLP.
  • The Americans for Prosperity Foundation articulates that qualified immunity is inappropriate when it shields government officials from liability for “intentional and slow-moving” infringements of First Amendment rights. Moreover, AFPF argues, qualified immunity especially threatens constitutional rights when officials enforce rarely-used statues, because “the more obscure the state law, the less likely it is that a prior case was decided on a similar set of facts.”
  • The Law Enforcement Action Partnership — whose members include police, prosecutors, and other law-enforcement officials — stress that the Supreme Court “has consistently held that qualified immunity does not shield obvious violations of bedrock constitutional guarantees.” The brief observes that “the dramatic expansion of criminal codes across the country has made it easier than ever” for law enforcement to pretextually arrest someone as punishment for exercising their First Amendment rights. LEAP is represented by Gibson Dunn & Crutcher LLP.
  • Young America’s Foundation and the Manhattan Institute highlight that “the First Amendment’s guarantees limit state law, not the other way around.” Their brief also explains how the Fifth Circuit’s failure to recognize decades of Supreme Court precedent protecting “routine news-gathering activities under the First Amendment … erodes essential free-speech and free-press rights.” YAF and the Manhattan Institute are represented by the Alliance Defending Freedom and The Dhillon Law Group.
  • The Institute for Justice urges reversal of the Fifth Circuit’s decision because “it undermines the text and original meaning of Section 1983,” which protects constitutional rights when violated “under color of” state laws and “notwithstanding” state laws that purport to limit those rights. IJ also stresses that the Fifth Circuit’s application of qualified immunity in the context of an obvious constitutional violation “is inconsistent with the prudential rationale underlying qualified immunity: the carefully calibrated balancing of government and individual interests.”
  • The Constitutional Accountability Center details the history of Section 1983 and cautions that because “qualified immunity is at odds with Section 1983’s text and history, courts should be especially careful to respect the limits on the doctrine.” CAC points out that this is an especially inapt case for qualified immunity because Section 1983 was adopted precisely to combat things like the criminalization of speech by pre-war slave codes and retaliatory prosecutions against critics of slavery.
  • The Cato Institute underlines that in the context of qualified immunity, “clearly established law is an objective inquiry of reasonableness, not a blind reliance on a lack of judicial precedent.” Cato also warns that “freedom of the press cannot meaningfully exist if journalists are not allowed to seek information from government officials.”

For fuck’s sake — Russia, big bad tough Russia? The Russian tanker Anatoly Kolodkin, sanctioned by the US, would be minutes away from entering Cuban territorial waters with approximately 730,000 barrels of crude oil. Almost impossible for a US intervention at this point.

Something about Trump LOSING?

The European Union is expanding its powers to track, raid and deport migrants to “return hubs “ in third countries in Africa and elsewhere, quietly adopting tactics of the Trump administration that have drawn public criticism across the 27-nation bloc.

The E.U. continues to tighten migration policies after right-wing parties took power in some countries in 2024. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, from the center-right European People’s Party coalition, has said the new measures will prevent a repeat of the 2015 crisis caused by Syria’s civil war, when about 1 million people arrived to seek asylum.

“We have learnt the lessons of the past. And today, we are better equipped,” von der Leyen has said. The new policies, known as the Pact on Migration and Asylum, go into effect on June 12.

Far-right parties in Europe have praised the deportation policies of U.S. President Donald Trump and called for the E.U. to adopt a similar approach. Human rights groups warn that authorities are already illegally pushing back migrants at E.U. borders and hollowing out their legal protections.

  • Raytheon Disruptions (March 2026): Activists (not explicitly identified as “No Kings”) disrupted a Raytheon rocket booth at a Tucson book festival in mid-March 2026, using the slogan “Books not bombs!” to protest military involvement in Iran.
  • Past Raytheon Protests (Late 2023): Groups including the Tucson Coalition for PalestineArizona Palestine Solidarity Alliance, and Jewish Voice for Peace staged a “die-in” at Raytheon’s Tucson office in November 2023 to protest weapons sales to Israel.

I get it, I do . . . But, for fuck sakes, the Epstein Class is raping and murdering girls: At their schools and in their HOMES.

A top modeling industry activist has called for business leaders to be hauled before lawmakers in Washington to investigate what role modeling agencies may have played in the Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficking scandal.

Sara Ziff is the founder of the Model Alliance, a non-profit advocacy group calling for fair treatment, labor rights and safe working conditions for fashion industry workers.

“I’d like to see a proper investigation into how modeling agencies facilitated Epstein’s abuse,” she told the Guardian in an interview, adding that bringing the heads of the companies before the oversight committee is “totally appropriate”.

Ziff and more than 40 Epstein survivors have signed a letter sent to New York attorney general Letitia James, and congressmen Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie to ask for an inquiry into the issue. They say the number of people in the model business – agents, owners, scouts – whose names have come up in Epstein document releases and through witness testimony “point to more than a single predator operating in isolation”.

The letter describes a power structure in the fashion business that made model agencies “a pipeline through which vulnerable teenagers were regularly delivered to powerful predators” and describes Epstein as “not a rogue outlier, but a beneficiary of – and a participant in – this system”.

Gilad Atzmon: You look at Israel. It is literally in a siege. Its ports, both air and sea are under attack. They cannot go anywhere, their neighbours hate them. You suddenly realise that Anne Frank is basically a microcosms depiction of their tribal existence. They ghettoise themselves and eventually find themselves hiding in a collective attic praying for the mercy of those whom they viciously abused…

It is tragic as much as it is pathetic.

The killing of Shireen Abu Akleh on May 11, 2022, and the killing of Fatima Fattouni on March 28, 2026, are not tragic anomalies. They are part of a clear and ongoing pattern: Israel’s systematic targeting of journalists who document its wars.

Abu Akleh was shot by Israeli occupation forces in Jenin while wearing a clearly marked press vest. Fattouni was killed in an Israeli strike targeting journalists in southern Lebanon while carrying out her reporting duties. Both women were visible, identifiable, and unarmed. Both were documenting realities that contradicted official Israeli narratives. Both were killed.

These killings must be placed within the wider context of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, where more than 270 journalists and media workers have been killed since October 2023, according to aggregated Palestinian and international monitoring data.

Regime change in the USA is more likely, however this crowd didn’t figure out yet that the real King doesn’t dwell in the White House. The ‘President’ is merely a Sabbos goy on duty…

Clausewitz, Netanyahu & Trump

For Carl Philipp Gottlieb von Clausewitz, war is ‘a continuation of politics by other means.’

For Netanyahu, politics is a continuation of war by every possible means.

For Trump, war is just one means among many to divert attention from the Epstein mess and his PDFile nature.

“We will be the chief opponent of the left in the 2028 Democratic presidential primary,” the organization’s president, Jon Cowan, recently pledged. Asked to define the kind of lefty candidates Third Way doesn’t like, he pinpointed pols who “are for Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, abolishing ICE, open borders.”

Donald Trump is leading a horrifying ethnic-cleansing campaign, gutting the Constitution, and trying to give himself king-like powers. He’s leading an illegal and reckless war against Iran, in partnership with Israel, that’s immiserating so many people here and abroad.

Meanwhile, prominent Democrats – ranging from elected members of Congress, to 2026 Senate candidates, to likely 2028 presidential hopefuls – are spending their time condemning Hasan Piker, the left-wing streamer and influencer, as part of a cancellation campaign spearheaded by Third way, the centrist think tank.

Third Way, which is funded by billionaires and corporate interests, has been quite open about its broader goal and ongoing campaign to marginalize the left. “We will be the chief opponent of the left in the 2028 Democratic presidential primary,” the organization’s president, Jon Cowan, recently pledged. Asked to define the kind of lefty candidates Third Way doesn’t like, he pinpointed pols who “are for Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, abolishing ICE, open borders.”

Cowan told the New York Times that Third Way will “probably spend $30 million to $50 million” toward this campaign over the next few years.

Those gathered then laid out 20 solutions for how Democrats can regain working-class trust and reconnect with them culturally.

Among their takeaways:

  • The party should “embrace patriotism, community, and traditional American imagery.”
  • Candidates should “get out of elite circles and into real communities (e.g., tailgates, gun shows, local restaurants, churches).”
  • The party needs to “own the failures of Democratic governance in large cities and commit to improving local government.”

“21st-century moderates aren’t tepid, timid throwbacks,” declared Jon Cowan, president of the advocacy group and think tank Third Way, as he kicked off a Democratic strategy summit, called “Winning the Middle,” in Charleston, S.C. yesterday. Instead, he said, moderates today are “combative, democracy-defending, swing-vote-winning, big-idea-generating,” get-things-done centrists.

Third Way has expansive — and expensive — ambitions to shape the 2028 presidential campaign, including with events like this one, which drew political strategists, local elected officials from battleground states and advisers to prominent national Democrats.

[Hmm, he looks Jewish, but . . . Here we have it:

Jonathan Cowan is the co-founder and president of Third Way, a centrist Democratic think tank. While he is not widely described in public biographies as an observant Jew, he has recently become a prominent voice against antisemitism within the Democratic Party.

Advocacy Against Antisemitism

As of March 2026, Cowan has frequently appeared in Jewish and national media for his stance on “Jewish safety” and his criticism of far-left figures:

  • Criticism of Hasan Piker: Cowan co-authored a Wall Street Journal op-ed titled “Democrats Are Too Cozy With Hasan Piker,” where he argued that political tribalism should not come before Jewish safety. He called on Democrats to “draw a line in the sand” against what he described as Piker’s antisemitic rhetoric.
  • ADL Support: His analysis has been publicly praised by Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), for confronting antisemitism on both the left and right.
  • Third Way Leadership: Under his leadership, Third Way has issued rebukes against candidates who align with controversial figures, stating that embracing “extreme bigots” is dangerous and wrong.

“It is with profound appreciation that we salute the selection by Democratic Leader U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer of Rachel Laser to be a commissioner on the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. Rachel Laser is a trailblazer, a tireless advocate, and most importantly an optimist who believes in her soul in the possibility of common ground.

“For many years, Rachel served as a senior leader at Third Way, running what was then called the Culture Program. Third Way’s success as an organization is in no small part due to Rachel’s work early on to chart new paths on the most divisive social issues in our politics. Throughout every effort, Rachel strove for common ground, even against the longest odds. She did so intellectually, spiritually, and temperamentally.”

[Laser’s Jewish identity is a central part of her life and professional motivations:

  • Upbringing: She was raised in a Reform Jewish household in Chicago and had her bat mitzvah and confirmation at KAM Isaiah Israel, Chicago’s oldest synagogue.
  • Motivation: She often cites her experience as a member of a religious minority as a primary driver for her advocacy, noting that she understands “how much it matters that our laws treat everyone fairly and equally”.
  • Religious Affiliation: She and her family are members of Adas Israel, a Conservative congregation in Washington, D.C..]

Ahh, Jews:

Donald Trump is leading a horrifying ethnic-cleansing campaign, gutting the Constitution, and trying to give himself king-like powers. He’s leading an illegal and reckless war against Iran, in partnership with Israel, that’s immiserating so many people here and abroad.

This is the trash heap that will get VD Vance elected:

This is THAT cuntology PARTY:

I am absolutely positive that the dirty Ukrainian flag was high up in the sky at the No Kings Day festivals:

Jerusalem Post headline: Zelensky held key meetings in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, showing that countries aligned with the US and the west can work together.

“No Kings Day” protests in the U.S. (organized by coalitions including Indivisible) support Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy primarily because they view him as a defender of democratic principles against authoritarianism, aligning with their goal of resisting what they describe as authoritarian policies under President Donald Trump.

Illegal arrests, personal sanctions, and targeted assassinations have become commonplace in Ukraine. Forced recruitment campaigns are frequently launched against regions predominantly inhabited by government opponents – such as cities with a non-Ukrainian ethnic majority. Therefore, in practice, it is possible to say that fear and terror are part of daily political life in Ukraine, severely affecting how the local population expresses its opinions. The real number of people who distrust Zelensky and want to see him out of office is likely much higher, but they simply don’t reveal their opinions because they fear reprisals.

Of course, the Cato Institute is fucking libertarian, and useful idiots, but . . .

As bad as the situation was under Poroshenko, however, it has grown even worse under his successor, Zelensky. In early February 2021, the Ukrainian government closed several pro-Russia, independent media outlets, and did so on the basis of utterly vague, open-ended standards. On May 13, 2021, a Ukrainian court ordered prominent pro-Russian politician Viktor Medvedchuk, a political ally of the owner of those television stations, to be put under house arrest while he faced allegations of treason. Medvedchuk, leader of the Opposition Platform — For Life political party, is one of Zelensky’s most outspoken critics. Prosecutors had earlier accused him of engaging in “subversive activities against Ukraine, including in the economic sphere,”

Medvedchuk is hardly the only target of an increasingly ugly political crackdown. In mid-April, Ukraine’s state security service detained 60 demonstrators in the city of Kharkiv who sought to protest actions by the local city council. The authorities did not accuse the protestors of engaging in violence; indeed, there was no evidence of such behavior. Instead, the state security service alleged that “pro-Russian political forces” had sent the demonstrators to stage protests as a way to “justify possible acts of Russian aggression against Ukraine.” One could include almost any political activity under the rubric of such a vague, emotionally charged allegation.

The Maidan Revolution alumni now seem to be trying to devour even some of their own members. In mid-May, Kiev mayor Vitali Klitschko charged agents of the SBU, Ukraine’s state security agency, had come to his apartment in what he denounced as a continuing attempt by his political rival, Zelensky, to put pressure on him. Earlier in May, the SBU, the state prosecutor’s office, and police carried out large-scale searches of various units of the Kiev city government, accusing the local authorities of misappropriation of budget funds and tax evasion, among other offenses. Although Klitschko was one of the original leaders of the Maidan demonstrations, Zelensky apparently now regards him as an annoying rival, since the Kiev mayor was a close ally of former president Poroshenko.

Such actions are hard to square with the U.S. foreign policy blob’s portrayal of Ukraine as a vibrant, tolerant democracy. Typical of the idealized image was the version offered by William Taylor during House impeachment hearings against President Donald Trump. Taylor had served as interim U.S. ambassador to Kiev, and he clearly was fond of both the Maidan Revolution and the government it birthed. According to Taylor, Ukrainian leaders sought to create “an inclusive, democratic nationalism, not unlike what we in America, in our best moments, feel about our country.”

The real Ukraine far more closely resembles the illiberal, pseudo-democratic systems that we have seen emerge in Russia, Hungary, Turkey, and other countries than it does the United States. It is reckless to treat Ukraine as a U.S. ally on strategic grounds, and it is morally offensive to do so on the basis of alleged democratic solidarity. The Biden administration should jettison this increasingly odious client state as soon as possible.

Yet, according to the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung, Zelensky went from showman to a desperate man during the conflict with Russia, and notes that the growing impotence of the Europeans, the reduction in arms supplies, and serious financial problems have destroyed many of Kiev’s hopes.

“Zelensky […] in recent months has transformed into a dancing bear in the arena of the international community: some pity him, others dream of getting rid of him,” the publication describes.

According to the newspaper, Zelensky is currently facing an extremely bleak scenario on the front lines. The Ukrainian military is exhausted, the desertion rate is high, and the willingness to go to the front lines is minimal.

Furthermore, the article highlights that the Ukrainian army currently lacks soldiers, weapons, and supplies.

Another blow, according to the newspaper, was the conflict in the Middle East, which significantly affected the supply of Western weapons to Ukraine, a fact that Zelensky has already acknowledged.

A recent survey conducted in Ukraine showed that almost half of the country’s population believes the government is “completely tainted,” with no official in the current administration worthy of remaining in office in a post-conflict scenario. The survey was conducted by the Kiev International Institute of Sociology (KIIS), and the results were published in a press release. The institution is highly regarded in the country for its work in sociological research, which is why the data revealed seems authentic, causing particular concern for the local government.

Low-hanging fruit, no? Obama, Clinton, Gore, Biden, Harris, Bush, oh, well, that’s the fucking ticket, no, these worthless ones can’t even rail against the fucking PT Barnum circus barker pedophile?

“We collectively call Trump what he is — Pedophile, Serial Murderer, Racist, Sexist, Bigot, Burglar, Buggerer. Can we not see his grifting, in opposition to what we hope all agree is the good of America? Rotten to the core, no matter which side of the political manure pile you end up on.”

His latest foray was to drop into an otherwise innocuous speech a suggestion that he might be renaming the much-in-the-news Strait of Hormuz after himself, suggesting he might be calling it the Strait of Trump after the U.S. takes it away from the Iranians.

This, of course, comes on top of the renaming of the U.S. Institute of Peace and the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to include his name and anticipated impending renamings of places like Virginia’s Dulles International Airport.

There is also the soon-to-start construction of the huge Arch’ De’Trump outside Arlington National Cemetery.

This is the fucking lobotomized but heavily armed Cunts of America. Nah, the “host” would never say:

“Look, Trump, you are an abomination, an accused rapists and convicted of that, and the dirty mind and dirtier mouth just shows how bloody worthless you are a a man, but you are the POTUS, so just answer the goddamned question and keep your limp member out of the discussion. Are you serious? You are a toad, a dirty old man, talking that way. Move on and answer my goddamn question and be a man about it, be a goddman adult.”

Speaking at an investor forum in Miami on Friday night, Trump casually referred to the Strait of Hormuz as the “Strait of Trump,” before quickly correcting himself, then insisting it wasn’t a slip.

“Excuse me, I’m so sorry. Such a terrible mistake,” he told the crowd.

Oh, god, I missed it . . . Thousands of No Kings protests took place across the U.S. and globally, with more than 3,000 events organized to oppose Donald Trump and his policies. Demonstrators raised concerns about the Iran war, immigration crackdowns, voting rights, and broader fears of democratic erosion, with participation ranging from small towns to major cities. High-profile figures and elected officials joined rallies, signaling the movement’s growing scale and visibility. The protests reflect widespread and diverse grievances, with organizers aiming to channel sustained opposition rather than a single unified demand.

US defense giant taps Israeli drone navigation tech built for jammed battlefields

ASIO’s drone navigation technology is designed to keep unmanned aircraft on course even when GPS is jammed or denied in combat.

Ancestral land, man, and this is the give-away day? Companies to enter negotiations to build commercial data centers on Army installations.

Using its Enhanced Use Lease authority, the Army wants private industry to finance and run large data centers on underused land at Fort Bliss and Dugway Proving Ground.

Investment firm Carlyle was chosen for a project at Fort Bliss in Texas and portfolio company CyrusOne will work at Dugway Proving Ground in Utah.

“By partnering with the private sector to develop cutting-edge data centers on our installations, we are bolstering our national security, driving technological innovation, and building a more resilient and modern Army,” David Fitzgerald, who is performing the duties of deputy undersecretary of the Army, said in the release. “Our new data center initiatives made possible by enhanced use leasing, are a direct investment in Army priorities.”

The Carlyle Group, a major private equity firm, has faced significant controversies over its history, largely centered on its deep political ties (”access capitalism”), aggressive investment strategies, and environmental impact. Critics have targeted its hiring of former high-ranking government officials to secure investments.

Key Controversy Areas:

  • “Access Capitalism” & Political Ties: Critics accuse Carlyle of utilizing relationships with former officials (e.g., George H.W. Bush, former FCC chair William Kennard) to secure government-regulated investments.
  • Pension Fund Scandal: In 2009, Carlyle paid $20 million to settle a “pay-to-play” probe involving bribes to a New York public pension fund aide.
  • Environmental Impact: A 2023 report highlighted that the firm is a major investor in fossil fuels, with a portfolio described as highly carbon-intensive despite public climate goals.
  • Failed Investments & Litigation: Carlyle faced litigation over its handling of the “fire sale” of Authentix and has been accused of mismanaging the now-defunct Carlyle Capital Corporation.
  • High-Profile Buyout Loss: Carlyle was involved in a record-setting leveraged buyout loss regarding the food broker Acosta.

Environmental and Climate Scrutiny
The Private Equity Stakeholder Project (PESP) and other groups found that between 2011 and 2022, Carlyle had a significant carbon footprint, allegedly investing $16 in fossil fuels for every $1 in renewable energy.

Political Controversies
The firm was often dubbed the “Iron Triangle” due to its ability to merge high-level politics with defense and private equity investing. The association with George H.W. Bush, who served as a senior advisor while his son was president, drew particular scrutiny.

Gulag and Gestapo, one in the same: For five years, an asylum-seeking woman attended routine check-ins with immigration authorities without issue. At her most recent appointment in October, she was unexpectedly ordered to strap on an ankle monitor, according to her attorney, Deepa Bijpuria.

Bijpuria, a supervising attorney in the immigration unit of Legal Aid DC, described the client as a single mom who fled her home country because of severe domestic violence, escaping while pregnant with her young daughter.

“[The order] was just such a shift after she’d been complying for years while waiting for her asylum application to be heard and decided,” she said.

Yeah, those fucking White Trash Illegal Aliens, don’t you know, First Nations can tell ya.

A Palestinian middle school student in Michigan who was publicly admonished for refusing to stand for the pledge of allegiance as part of a personal protest against the war on Gaza has settled with her school district following a lawsuit around her First Amendment free speech rights.

The teenager, identified as DK in court documents, said she faced racism from a teacher at the West Middle School in Canton, Michigan, after she did not participate in the pledge. The teacher reportedly told DK to “go back to her country”, Fox 2 Detroit reported.

In a statement following the settlement, DK called the ordeal “terrifying” and “overwhelming” at times.

“But it taught me the importance of speaking up for what I believe is right,” said DK. “I feel proud of the outcome and of being part of something that reinforces how important free speech is. I’ve learned that even when it feels uncomfortable or risky, speaking out can make a difference, not just for me, but for others as well.”

“Centering the conversation around a crisis of this magnitude on numbers, it’s not the response that families of missing persons need after 20 years of such a sharp increase in disappearances,” she said. “When we see reports like the one today, it proves the victims right: What they want is to make the number of disappeared persons smaller.”

Fucking Mexico is going Bedlam, too.

Mexico’s government said in a new report Friday that it identified signs of life for a third of the country’s 130,000 registered missing people, an announcement that was quickly criticized by a number of search groups who called it another attempt to undermine the depth of Mexico’s disappearance crisis.

The mounting criticism cut to the heart of fierce debate over how Mexico tracks disappearances, which have soared since the beginning of the drug war in 2006. While authorities say figures are overcounted, families say the number of missing people in Mexico is actually far higher. Both blame what they see as a lack of reliable data on failures by local governments and deep-seated impunity.

Sad:

Mexico’s navy has launched a search and rescue mission to track down two boats shipping humanitarian aid to Cuba as part of the Nuestra América Convoy, after they failed to reach Havana.

Three boats left Isla Mujeres in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo last Friday – after a weather-related delay – but only one has arrived so far, docking at dawn on 24 March.

No communication from the two missing boats has been received. The sail should only take two or three days on average – but seven days have now passed.

Organisers, however, say that according to their calculations, which take into account the size of the boats and conditions at sea, the vessels are likely to arrive on 27 or 28 March.

Staffed by nine sailors from Poland, France, Cuba and the US, the boats – named Friendship and Tigger Moth – were taking rice, baby wipes, beans, baby formula, medicine and other supplies to Cuba amid a US-imposed oil embargo and energy crisis.

“The captains and crews are experienced sailors, and both vessels are equipped with appropriate safety systems and signalling equipment,” a spokesperson for the convoy told Reuters. “We are cooperating fully with the authorities and remain confident in the crews’ ability to reach Havana safely.”

Mexico has deployed naval teams and military search aircraft to track down the missing two boats. It has also established contact with rescue centres from each country represented by the missing crew.

Earlier this week, the Cuban government welcomed the arrival of another boat that sailed in from Mexico carrying 14 tonnes of humanitarian aid, including solar panels, medicines and baby formula.

Upon arrival, Brazilian activist Thiago Avila told Novara Media: “We are going to mobilise for the just causes in this world – just as Cuba always did.”

Avila added that the flotilla is a “gesture of solidarity” that the world will not leave Cuba to fend for itself amid the US’s oil blockade.

RACIAL PROFILING. STOP AND FRISK.

Targeted blockades:

BettBeat: What the Epstein class perfected in Gaza — the AI-driven kill lists, the biometric surveillance grids, the reduction of human beings to data points marked for elimination — is now being integrated, component by component, into the domestic architecture of nations across the world. The Gaza method is not an aberration. It is a product line. The Tel Aviv sales team has moved to Washington, to London, to Berlin, to New Delhi. And they are bringing it to a government near you.

The Grayzone reported that Israeli spyware firms, overwhelmingly staffed by veterans of the military intelligence Unit 8200, are fueling what amounts to a global surveillance state. Cellebrite, founded by an ex-IDF soldier, holds a $30 million contract with ICE and a $1.6 million contract with Customs and Border Protection to extract data from phones seized at the border. Another Israeli firm, Cobwebs, signed multimillion-dollar contracts with ICE, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Texas Department of Public Safety. The Grayzone further revealed that Axonius — a company founded by three former Unit 8200 operatives — now oversees cybersecurity across more than seventy US government agencies, including the Department of Defense and Homeland Security. The fox is not guarding the henhouse. The fox designed the henhouse, installed the locks, and kept a copy of every key.

“A protest against tyranny that cannot tolerate the presence of tyranny’s most visible victims. A march against kings that cannot name the king in Tel Aviv. A movement for democracy that has no vocabulary for empire”

Millions of them, across more than three thousand locations, wearing inflatable dinosaur costumes and carrying upside-down flags, chanting their opposition to a king while genuflecting to the empire that crowns them. The No Kings website lists every grievance imaginable — healthcare, democracy, corruption, billionaires — but while the bombs are falling on Iran and 18-month old toddlers are tortured by US-Israeli war criminals in Palestine, it cannot not bring itself to name the genocide, the war, or the country that demanded both.

As Mondoweiss reported, the No Kings protest lacks a central demand, points of leverage, or a coherent theory of change — and it refused to address the US-Israeli war on Iran. The “special relationship” between the United States and Israel is not mentioned by the protest’s primary organizers at all. Groups like Indivisible undoubtedly have pro-Israel donors, and on some level the protest is probably connected to the mainstream of a Democratic Party that has not emerged with a coherent antiwar message in response to Trump’s worldwide rampage.

These mechanisms do not operate independently. Militarized police enforce intelligence through overwhelming force. ICE operationalizes it through raids and profit-based detentions. And all of it is ideologically legitimated through a permanent discourse of threat from the racialized “other” — terrorism, gangs, extremism, disorder, invasion — that re-codes political opposition and social crisis as internal security problems.

This is what a repressive, fascist state looks like in a late-imperial moment. Not jackboots in the street, but databases. Not mass roundups announced in advance, but targeted removals justified by intelligence assessments no one can see or contest.

The training relationships between U.S. police and Israeli security forces fit seamlessly into this logic. Israeli policing is shaped by occupation, counterinsurgency, and population control. It is designed not to serve a public, but to manage an enemy population. When U.S. police import those models, they import not only tactics, but an entire political logic: that certain populations are not citizens but problems, not constituents but threats, not humans but risks.

What ties all this together is the collapse of the distinction between foreign and domestic repression. The techniques used to occupy, sanction, destabilize, and discipline abroad are now fully integrated into domestic governance. The empire has come home, not because it wants to, but because it must. A system built on exploitation, inequality, and endless expansion cannot govern through consent in moments of crisis. It must govern through coercion, control and violence.

This is why we should not be surprised that ICE behaves like a paramilitary force, and that political dissent is increasingly framed as extremism. This is not drift. It is design. ICE Director Todd Lyons’ comment last April that the administration should treat deportations “like a business … Like [Amazon] Prime, but with human beings,” is the capitalist logic that is driving these moves toward a fully consolidated neofascism is clear.

The question is not whether this system will be used abusively. It already is. The question is whether it will be named for what it is: a repressive national security state emerging from the contradictions of empire, racial capitalism, and imperial decline that has now turned to the capitalist reform of fascism to uphold the dictatorship of capital. — Fragmentation, Force, and Fascism: The Architecture of the Repressive National Security State, ​​​​​​​ Ajamu Baraka, BAR editor and columnist

George Washington Plunkitt, rogue philosopher of the Tammany Hall political machine, once offered this prescription for electoral success in polyglot New York. The ideal ward heeler, he explained, “eats corned beef and kosher meats with equal nonchalance, and it’s all the same to him whether he takes his hat off in church or pulls it over his head in synagogue.” For decades, Plunkitt’s advice took the form of what was known as the “balanced ticket.” It divided up the candidates for the city’s major offices among products of the ethnic groups that comprised the Democratic coalition – Irish, Italian, Jewish, and in later generations, Hispanic and African American. Yet, paradoxically, New York State elected a Jewish governor (Herbert Lehman) and a Jewish senator (Jacob Javits) long before New York City, the largest Jewish city in the world, chose its first Jewish mayor. By the time Abraham Beame took office in 1973, the city was well into the process of losing Jews to suburbia, their exodus caused both by growing prosperity and disenchantment with much of the liberal social contract. With the reelection to Michael Bloomberg as mayor in early November, however, the city has its third Jewish mayor. By the time Bloomberg finished his second term and must relinquish the office under the term-limits law, he, Beame, and Edward Koch will have led New York for 24 of the previous 36 years. TO LOOK back over the characters and policies of these three men is to see with startling clarity a kind of Jewish political evolution, from machine loyalist to reformer to meritocrat.

Stop-and-frisk in New York City was aggressively pioneered and expanded by former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and later heavily accelerated by Mayor Michael Bloomberg. While practiced previously, it became a key “signature” public safety initiative during Bloomberg’s administration (2002–2013), peaking in 2011 with nearly 700,000 stops.

Collaboration between various U.S. law enforcement agencies and the IDF began in the early 2000s following the Sept. 11 attacks, when the former needed to bolster their surveillance and infiltration tactics. In the wake of these attacks, the NYPD fundamentally shifted the ways it tackled policing, and other police forces across the country followed its lead.

These police forces turned to Israel, who had such experience in these repression measures and military operations, mainly in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. In 2002, for example, the NYPD was the first police department in the U.S. to send officers to Israel for a “symposium on suicide bombers.”

Since Sept. 11, a cornerstone of this partnership has been the exchange programs that are facilitated by various organizations that include the Anti-Defamation League, the American Jewish Committee’s Project Interchange and the the Jewish Institute for National Security of America. The programs consist of U.S. police officials traveling to Israel where they receive training from the IDF, along with Israeli security experts visiting the United States where they conduct seminars and joint exercises. The training that U.S. police officers receive in Israel covers a range of different topics which include counterterrorism, crowd control, intelligence gathering, infiltration of protests, instructions on media coordination over coverage and surveillance.

According to a 2018 report by Jewish Voice for Peace and Researching the American-Israeli Alliance:

The Atlanta Police Department has used flashbang grenades and rubber bullets against Stop Cop City activists, who also draw parallels between their struggle and the struggle of Palestinians.

Activists are also pointing out the collaboration between the Atlanta Police Department and the Israeli government. One of the programs they are highlighting is the Georgia International Law Enforcement Exchange program, which sends Georgia police officers to Israel to train in tactics of counterterrorism, “homeland security and community policing.”

These tactics of repression adopted from the IDF were brought back to Atlanta.

In 2023 a Stop Cop City activist, Manuel Paez Terán, also known as Tortuguita​​, was shot 14 times by Atlanta police. Tortuguita was in the forest with other forest defenders in an attempt to bring awareness to Cop City. They were 26 years old.

And in February of 2024 protestors against Cop City were charged with domestic terrorism charges, which Georgia updated in 2017 to broaden its definition to include “attempts to seriously harm or kill people, or to disable or destroy “critical infrastructure.”

On May 31, New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced a $225 million plan to bring his own Copy City police training academy to Queens.

‘Move cops, get out the way! We know you’re Israeli trained!’

The enemies:

since Donald Trump returned to the White House his administration has sought to rapidly implement the agenda of his Technocratic and Zionist backers. The sheer onslaught of daily developments is enough to overwhelm the average American who is attempting to keep up with the constant breaking news.

This should come as no surprise given that Steve Bannon — one of Trump’s first political strategists — loudly proclaimed his goal to inundate the public with “shit”. In 2018, Bannon told Bloomberg“The Democrats don’t matter. The real opposition is the media. And the way to deal with them is to flood the zone with shit.”

Bannon later expanded on his statements in an interview with the PBS show Frontline, stating, “Every day, we hit them with three things. They’ll bite on one, and we’ll get all of our stuff done, bang, bang, bang. These guys will never be able to recover.”

While he framed his statements as focused on the Democrats, it’s clear that such a strategy works to confuse the public as well. Although Bannon is no longer a regular figure in the second Trump administration, the mentality of accomplishing your goals at a breakneck pace continues as Trump has allied himself with the Technocrats running the major tech firms. This includes Big Technocrats like Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.

In a 2009 interview, Zuckerberg infamously revealed that one of Facebook’s “core values” was the motto “Move fast and break things”, a phrase that Zuckerberg said meant that “unless you are breaking some stuff you are not moving fast enough”.

Clearly, Trump’s team is moving as fast as possible, paying little attention to what they break, even if it includes established legal precedent or the US Constitution itself. They are “flooding the zone” with as many actions as possible which keeps the courts, the media, and the public struggling to keep up with their actions.

With that in mind, this series of articles is an effort to recap some of the actions taken by the Trump admin in recent months. The steps taken by Trump and his allies prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Zionist Technocrats are running the show. He is simply helping build the Technocratic Surveillance State of their dreams. Trump is simply following orders and rewarding those who stay loyal to him. The only way to dismantle this ever-growing machine is to become aware of it and then resist its advance. — The Technocratic Trump Administration: The Public-Private Partnership
