Photojournalist Valerie Zink on why she can no longer work for Reuters…
Western media is directly culpable for creating the conditions in which this can happen. As Jeremy Scahill from Drop Site News put it, “every major outlet – from the New York Times to the Washington Post, from AP to Reuters – has served as a conveyor belt for Israeli propaganda, sanitizing war crimes and dehumanizing victims, abandoning their colleagues and their alleged commitment to true and ethical reporting.”
Western Media? Hmm, Jewish Media!
232 . . . 235 . . .240 . . . 245 . . . .The 245 is now 246. Israel killed one more journalist, Dr Hassan Douhan, in Khan younis last evening. He was a veteran journalist and worked for a Palestinian newspaper called Al Hayat Aljadida. It was established after Oslo and the name reflects the hope that the Palestinians will have a new life after Oslo which will lead to a Palestinian state. Israeli fanatics killed Rabin. And then Netanyahu and the Bin Gvir people worked day and night to kill any possibility for the Palestine Sate. And they are now working day and night to finish the Palestinian People. Genocide is continuing. The western mainstream media are complicit. They did nothing to report the realities and the war crimes committed by Israel. And they did nothing to protect Palestinian journalists who continued to work in Gaza and who had been targeted by Israel.

A whole pack of those Jews:
Maxwell’s biographers, Gordon Thomas and Martin Dillon, write that he was first recruited by Israeli intelligence in the 1960s and began buying up Israeli tech corporations. Israel used these companies and their software to carry out spying and other clandestine operations around the globe.
Maxwell amassed a vast business empire of 350 companies, employing 16,000 people. He owned an array of newspapers, including The New York Daily News, Britain’s Daily Mirror, and Maariv of Israel, in addition to some of the world’s most influential book and scientific publishing houses.
With business power came political power. He was elected to the U.K. parliament in 1964 and counted U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev among his closest friends.
He used this influence to advance Israeli interests, selling Israeli intelligence-gathering software to Russia, the U.S., the U.K., and many other countries. This software included a secret Israeli backdoor that allowed the Israeli intelligence agency, Mossad, to tap into classified information gathered by governments and intelligence agencies around the world.
In the United Kingdom, however, he is remembered less fondly. A man with a fearsome reputation, Maxwell ruled his media business with an iron fist, in a similar vein to Rupert Murdoch (another individual with extremely close links to Israel). After his death, it transpired that he had stolen more than $500 million from his employees’ pension fund to bail out other failing companies in his empire, leaving many of his workforce’s retirement plans in tatters. As the newspaper, The Scotsman, remarked ten years later in 2001:
If [Maxwell] was despised in life, he was hated in death when it emerged he had stolen 440 million [pounds] from the pension fund of Mirror Group Newspapers. He was, officially, the biggest thief in British criminal history.”
As Israeli outlet Haaretz noted, in 2001, Isabel decided to dedicate her life to advancing the Jewish State’s interests, vowing to “work only on things involving Israel” as she “believes in Israel.” Described by former MintPress journalist and investigative reporter Whitney Webb as “Israel’s back door into Silicon Valley,” she has transformed herself into a key ambassador for the country in the tech world.
“Maxwell created a unique niche for herself in [tech] as a liaison between Israeli companies in the initial development stages and private angel investors in the U.S. At the same time, she helps U.S. companies interested in opening development centers in Israel,” wrote local business newspaper, Globes. “She lives intensively, including innumerable flights back and forth between Tel Aviv and San Francisco,” it added.
Israel is known to be the source of much of the world’s most controversial spyware and hacking tools, used by repressive governments the world over to surveil, harass, and even kill political opponents. This includes the notorious Pegasus software, used by the government of Saudi Arabia to track Washington Post journalist, Jamal Khashoggi, before assassinating him in Türkiye.
Patrick Drahi made a fortune through debt-fuelled telecommunications companies. Now he’s bringing his methods to the art market.
When Patrick Drahi, a fifty-five-year-old French Israeli telecommunications billionaire, agreed to buy Sotheby’s, one of the world’s two great auction houses, early in the summer of 2019, people in the art market had two questions: Who is Drahi? And what does he want?
On a superficial level, buying an auction house is the kind of thing that French billionaires do. Christie’s, a rival of Sotheby’s since the seventeen-sixties, has been owned by François Pinault, a French luxury-goods magnate and prolific art collector, for the past quarter century. A former banker who worked with Drahi described the acquisition to me as an heirloom. “Think about your obituary,” he said. “Are you likely to be recalled for having done many cable deals, or having owned Sotheby’s?”
But Drahi, who had a net worth of around eight billion dollars, seemed to come out of nowhere. Although a spokesperson described him as a connoisseur with “an encyclopaedic knowledge of classical music and paintings particularly,” he wasn’t considered a major player in the art market. Artprice, a French art-sales database, reportedly listed Drahi as the two-hundred-and-fifty-second-biggest art collector in the world.
Moreover, unlike Pinault and Bernard Arnault, another French luxury-goods billionaire, who used to own Phillips (an auction house that, like Sotheby’s and Christie’s, was founded in London in the eighteenth century), Drahi did not seem eager for a public profile. Whereas Pinault and Arnault were household names in France and had major foundations, Drahi was more elusive, dividing his time among Switzerland, Israel, and the Caribbean island of Nevis. “He is not in Paris. He is not in New York. He is not in London,” a person close to Drahi said. “He is not where his counterparts are. He is not spending a single minute in any cocktail or public event.”
Rat/Jew Patrol: The Israeli military’s operation in Jenin, Tulkarm, and other cities, has displaced more than 40,000 people – the largest mass displacement of Palestinians in the West Bank in decades.
Yuval Abraham on Israel’s use of double-tap airstrikes: “Source in Southern Command:
‘Another strike will be carried out to ensure that rescue efforts do not take place. First aid providers, rescuers – kill them. Attack again, on them. This is the procedure. Since October 7, it has been in place.”
“Save me! I’m feeling weak and can’t bear this for much longer.” These were some of the final words of Hala Arafat, 35, who was filmed while trapped beneath the rubble of her family’s home in northern Gaza last week after it was hit by an Israeli airstrike. But the Israeli army made sure nobody could save her, firing with drones at anyone who approached the area for eight hours after the initial bombing. Some time after the video was taken, Hala passed away, joining 13 other family members killed in the strike, including seven children.
The Israeli occupation continues to bomb every corner of Gaza City, striking citizen gatherings, homes, and even food preparation sites. Today, a bakery was directly targeted, killing 12 people, including 5 children. In the al-Rimal area, a residential building was hit, two floors destroyed, and 5 civilians killed. Another gathering of citizens was also attacked, while al-Zaytoun and northern Gaza City remain under relentless destruction and direct targeting. Gaza City is being decimated before the eyes of the world. Action is needed now before more innocent lives are lost.
HERO:
Historians like Ilan Pappé have argued that Israel is following the predictable trajectory of colonial powers whose grip on their colony is weakening and that it has now begun to unravel, the fate of most colonizers throughout history.
Casual observers like myself hold on to the belief that a state as uniquely, sadistically, and flamboyantly evil as Israel has to end because it cannot be tolerated in the 21st century. To tolerate it is to normalize savagery, which is a direct threat to every person on the planet and an insult to what it means to be human.
Israel is a lab experiment gone hideously haywire. Israel is what happens when you take a group of people from around the world and settle them in an ethnically cleansed geography; tell them they constitute a people; foster a sense of superiority ordained by the Almighty; encourage them to believe that the world owes them for the crimes of World War II and that norms don’t apply to them; give them unlimited financial, military and diplomatic support; and assist them as they subjugate populations who defy them.
The outcome of nearly eight decades of such indulgence is the Jewish Frankenstein on a vicious rampage today, dismembering and crippling children in Gaza, dynamiting homes in the West Bank and southern Lebanon, and initiating an unprovoked war with Iran. — Ida Audeh

Bild reports that Germany no longer intends to send its troops to Ukraine, not even as peacekeepers. The publication believes that Berlin does not expect a soon meeting between Putin and Zelensky, and therefore fears sending troops, hoping that financial aid will be more effective. There is also no clarity on what kind of security guarantees Trump can provide. “However, even if an agreement between Ukraine and Russia is reached, the government wants to provide guarantees mostly in money, not soldiers,” the publication writes.

Go ahead, you wise and patriotic members of the Iowa General Assembly: Pass a law that requires the daily singing of the national anthem in schools.
House Study Bill 587 is in committee now. Fast track that thing to Gov. Kim Reynolds’ desk.
We must start converting our students into patriots before they get into the dangerous habit of critical thinking.
Lawmakers already started putting a little red, white, and blue in Iowa schoolchildren’s daily lessons with the mandatory recitation of the pledge of allegiance.
Let’s not stop just with the pledge and the anthem.
Most of the school day should be dedicated to patriotic mantras and music.
Maybe we should sing “God Bless America” before we eat lunch and “Yankee Doodle Dandy” before recess.
Students, teachers, and staff shouldn’t be allowed to leave for the day without a rousing chorus of “America the Beautiful.”
All high school bands must play “Stars and Stripes Forever” at least once during football halftime performances or timeouts at basketball games.
I suggest we fire all the teachers and staff and put in an artificial intelligence hologram that selects patriotic quotes, music, and art to memorize and recite upon being questioned by any government official.
Everybody knows all teachers are part of a vast deep-state conspiracy to indoctrinate children into subversive arts of reading, writing, science, and math.
Any teacher who refuses to stand and sing the national anthem with gusto should be jailed.

Great new Cunty Cancer Causing and Species Ending Poison from the folks that brought us Zyklon . . . New herbicide coming from Bayer
Icafolin, a groundbreaking herbicide with a unique mode of action, is set to revolutionize weed management in corn and soybeans within the next five years.
NOthING about the harmful effects: Bayer is also planning to bring a new Group 12 herbicide to market. Diflufenican herbicide, which will be marketed under the brand name Convintro, will be a soybean burndown and preemergence product primarily aimed at waterhemp and Palmer amaranth. It also will be a weed control corn for tool, say Bayer officials.
Diflufenican is not new chemistry, as it has been used for years in Europe to manage broadleaf weeds in crops such as lentils and winter cereals. However, it will be new to the United States. Bayer expects this chemistry to be available to U.S. farmers in 2026, pending regulatory approval.
Jews are death whores:
The team – Senior International Correspondent Fanny Facsar, a DW cameraman and a local colleague – was in Ramallah to document risks faced by media professionals in the occupied West Bank when Israeli soldiers aimed their weapons at them during filming. All three wore protective gear clearly marked “PRESS.” Nevertheless, the soldiers fired tear gas, hitting the group, but no one was injured. The same day, an Israeli operation in Ramallah left dozens of people injured.
Earlier in July, another DW team was attacked with stones and chased by radical Israeli settlers in the village of Sinjil, north of Ramallah. That team escaped without injury, though the cameraman’s vehicle was heavily damaged. Read the full report.
DW Director General Peter Limbourg issued a strong statement on the current situation: “The repeated attacks on our journalists in the West Bank are absolutely unacceptable. There is no justification for threatening press representatives – neither by the military nor by radical settlers. We call on the Israeli government to ensure the safety of all journalists. Press freedom and the protection of media professionals are fundamental pillars of any democracy.”

There is a Ukrainian precedent for the faith in using wetlands as defence.
In March 2022, Ukraine’s armed forces destroyed the Kozarovychi Dam, flooding 2,800 hectares of land and successfully slowing down Russian troops advancing towards Kyiv.
But the deliberate flooding also caused widespread damage, including in residential areas. In environmental terms, it may have done more harm than good.
Pollutants including sewage and heavy metals were likely to have been released by the floodwaters, along with invasive species from local fish farms.
“If you rewet rapidly then you just end up with a lake, basically, and not necessarily with all the biodiversity that you might envisage,” says Mark van der Wal, senior ecologist at the Dutch branch of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

The Oil Eaters and Data Dunces: This summer, researchers at the University of Derby in the UK published a finding that humanity’s connection to nature has declined by more than 60 percent since 1800.
The researchers arrived at this conclusion by looking to several proxy indicators—including a drop in the frequency of nature words (like river, moss, blossom) in books as well as analysis of other trends like urbanization, reductions in everyday exposure to wildlife, and evidence that parents are less frequently passing on habits of connection to nature to their children. The researchers forecast that, absent major change, we’re headed for what we might call an “extinction of experience.”

Oregon currently has the fourth-highest in gas prices in the nation, according to AAA. It follows California, with the highest, then Hawaii and Washington. Experts say higher gas prices in certain states are due to a historic combination of factors, including gas taxes,environmental protections or the geographic difficulty of transporting gas into the regions.
On Friday, Oregon’s Legislature will convene to hash out whether to raise the state’s 40-cent-per-gallon gas tax by 6 cents to support the state’s deteriorating transportation system.
The Pacific Northwest aside, the Trump administration was in full gear this week, heaping praise on itself for what it says will be the lowest Labor Day prices since the holiday in 2020.

While the cunts in their big 200 HP boats are trolling for salmon along the coast. Insanity:
The US military build-up off the coast of Venezuela continues to escalate to frightening proportions. As of the afternoon of August 29, 2025, the US had already deployed “three destroyers, two landing dock ships, an amphibious assault ship, a cruiser and a littoral combat ship… either in the region or on their way.” That same night, “A U.S. guided-missile cruiser, USS Lake Erie, was seen crossing the Panama Canal from the Pacific to the Caribbean….”
In response, Venezuela has activated its popular militia and sent 15,000 troops to the border with Colombia. An international outcry could help tip the balance away from blockades, war, and intervention and towards peace.
In a bold show of solidarity, Colombian President Gustavo Petro has sent 25,000 troops to his nation’s side of the border, posting on Twitter that,
“Neither Colombia nor the Venezuelan opposition in Venezuela, nor any self-respecting Latin American, should solicit or rejoice in a foreign invasion of our soil.
We Latin Americans and Caribbeans solve the problems of Latin Americans and Caribbeans.
With Europe or North America or China or Africa, we discuss our common problems face to face and as human beings, not as servants.”
Given the historic role that Colombia has played as the US’ top ally in Latin America, with a military that has been subservient to the Pentagon for decades, Petro’s actions are brave if risky. Already a right-wing city councilor in Bogotá has written a formal letter to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio asking for an international investigation of Petro’s links with Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro. The White House and Republican congresspersons have been hinting at actions to interfere in Colombia’s judicial processes to destabilize the Petro administration in a manner similar to its efforts in Brazil against President Luis Inacio “Lula” da Silva.
The threat to Venezuela is a threat to all of Latin America in very concrete ways, unfolding in real time, minute by minute. By the time this alert begins to arrive in inboxes, the situation may have worsened in unforeseen ways. That is how urgent it is that we ACT NOW.
On August 8, 2025, US President and would-be Emperor Donald Trump declared that, on the basis of the discredited and fake Drug War, the US reserved the option to engage in military action in any country, anywhere.
The lies and hypocrisy behind the fake Drug War are far too extensive to chronicle here. But even a few highlights expose the lie. In the 1980s, for instance, the US government helped make possible the saturation of Black neighborhoods in Los Angeles with crack cocaine in order to raise funds for counterrevolutionaries in Nicaragua. The War on Drugs has been the primary source of funding for Prison Imperialism projects to spread the US mass incarceration model around the world. This includes financing for programs in Saudi Arabian prisons, even though the nation, by the US government’s own admission, has no appreciable role in narcotrafficking. The Alliance for Global Justice has traveled in the Naya region of Colombia where we passed by huge coca plantations that were interspersed with military checkpoints, and where we heard reports of the presence of US advisors.

They have had on amazing guests, that is, most of them are amazing: And they work on the psychology of politics, or political psychology, and such. Capitalism’s psychology? Gazafication of the world, and then, Venezuela?
Scholars have long examined the ways in which slavery underwrites capitalism. I thought this story, though, allowed attention to slavery’s role in shaping not so much the social or financial dimensions of capitalism but its psychic and imaginative ones.
Capitalism is, among other things, a massive process of ego formation, the creation of modern selves, the illusion of individual autonomy, the cultivation of distinction and preference, the idea that individuals had their own moral conscience, based on individual reason and virtue. The wealth created by slavery generalized these ideals, allowing more and more people, mostly men, to imagine themselves as autonomous and integral beings, with inherent rights and self-interests not subject to the jurisdiction of others. Slavery was central to this process not just for the wealth the system created but because slaves were physical and emotional examples of what free men were not.
But there is more. That process of individuation creates a schism between inner and outer, in which self-interest, self-cultivation, and personal moral authority drive a wedge between seeming and being. Hence you have the emergence of metaphysicians like Melville, Emerson, and of course Marx, along with others, trying to figure out the relationship between depth and surface.
What I try to do in the book is demonstrate the centrality of slavery to this process, the way “free trade in blacks” takes slavery’s foundational deception, its original deceit as captured in the con the West Africans were able to play on Amasa Delano, and acts as a force multiplier. Capitalism disperses that deception into every aspect of modern life.
There’s many ways this happens. Deceit, through contraband, is absolutely key to the expansion of slavery in South America. When historians talk about the Atlantic market revolution, they are talking about capitalism. And when they are talking about capitalism, they are talking about slavery. And when they are talking about slavery, they are talking about corruption and crime. Not in a moral sense, in that the slave system was a crime against humanity. That it was. But it was also a crime in a technical sense: probably as many enslaved Africans came into South America as contraband, to avoid taxes and other lingering restrictions, as legally.
Sometimes slaves were the contraband. At other times, they were cover for the real contraband, luxury items being smuggled in from France or Great Britain, which helped cultivate the personal taste of South America’s expanding gentry class. And since one of the things capitalism is at its essence is an ongoing process to define the arbitrary line that separates “self-interest” from “corruption,” slavery was essential in creating the normative categories associated with modern society.

The supreme international crime according to 2017 U.S. media reporting is interferring nonviolently in a democratic election — at least if Russia does it. William Blum, in his book Rogue State, lists over 30 times that the United States has done that. Another study, however, says 81 elections in 47 countries. France 2017 makes that total at least 82. Honduras 2017 makes it 83. Russia 2018 makes it 84. The 2020-revealed 1964 coup in British Guiana makes it 85. Somalia 2022 would be 86. There are clearly dozens more.

The above list does not include numerous coups by U.S.-trained fighters, such as (other than Honduras) those discussed here: “from Isaac Zida of Burkina Faso, Haiti’s Philippe Biamby, and Yahya Jammeh of The Gambia to Egypt’s Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi, Mohammad Zia-ul-Haq of Pakistan, and the IMET-educated leaders of the 2009 coup in Honduras, not to mention Mali’s Amadou Sanogo.” These are just in very recent years, by no means a complete list, though the Haiti coup referenced here was earlier than the one included in the list above.
We might want to add to the list of coups by U.S.-trained troops: these from a 2022 report in The Intercept: “Since 2008, U.S.-trained officers have attempted at least nine coups (and succeeded in at least eight) across five West African countries, including Burkina Faso (three times), Guinea, Mali (three times), Mauritania, and the Gambia.” Also in 2022, Democracy Now reported on these coups by U.S. trainees just in Africa: Chad 2021, Mali 2021, Mali 2020, Guinea 2021, Sudan 2021, Burkina Faso 2022. Another report discusses these as coups by U.S.-trained soldiers who overthrew governments they’d been trained to support: between 2008 and 2022: Burkina Faso, three times; Mali, three times; and Mauritania, one time. With Niger in July 2023, the coups since 2008 in West Africa by U.S.-trained troops reached 11.
The Strange Death of Hugo Chavez: An Interview with Eva Golinger
Investigative journalist Eva Golinger argues that the late Venezuelan leader may have been assassinated by close aides who fled the country following his death.
“Hugo Chavez defied the most powerful interests, and he refused to bow down….I believe there is a very strong possibility that President Chavez was assassinated.”
— Eva Golinger
MW– Do you think that Hugo Chavez was murdered and, if so, who do you think might have been involved?
Eva Golinger– I believe there is a very strong possibility that President Chavez was assassinated. There were notorious and documented assassination attempts against him throughout his presidency. Most notable was the April 11, 2002 coup d’etat, during which he was kidnapped and set to be assassinated had it not been for the unprecedented uprising of the Venezuelan people and loyal military forces that rescued him and returned him to power within 48 hours. I was able to find irrefutable evidence using the US Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), that the CIA and other US agencies were behind that coup and supported, financially, militarily and politically, those involved. Later on, there were other attempts against Chavez and his government, such as in 2004 when dozens of Colombian paramilitary forces were captured on a farm outside of Caracas that was owned by an anti-Chavez activist, Robert Alonso, just days before they were going to attack the presidential palace and kill Chavez.
There was another, lesser-known plot against Chavez discovered in New York City during his visit to the United Nations General Assembly in September 2006. According to information provided by his security services, during standard security reconnaissance of an event where Chavez would address the US public at a local, renowned university, high levels of radiation were detected in the chair where he would have sat. The radiation was discovered by a Geiger detector, which is a handheld radiation detection device the presidential security used to ensure the President wasn’t in danger of exposure to harmful rays. In this case, the chair was removed and subsequent tests showed it was emanating unusual amounts of radiation that could have resulted in significant harm to Chavez had it gone undiscovered. According to accounts by the presidential security at the event, an individual from the US who had been involved in the logistical support for the event and had provided the chair was shown to be acting with US intelligent agents.
There were numerous other attempts on his life that were thwarted by the Venezuelan intelligence agencies and particularly the counterintelligence unit of the Presidential Guard that was charged with discovering and impeding such threats. One other well known attempt was in July 2010 when Francisco Chavez Abarca (no relation), a criminal working with Cuban-born terrorist Luis Posada Carriles, responsible for bombing a Cuban airliner in 1976 and killing all 73 passengers on board, was detained entering Venezuela and later confessed he had been sent to assassinate Chavez. Just five months earlier, in February 2010, when President Chavez was at an event near the Colombian border, his security forces discovered a sniper set up just over a quarter of a mile away from his location, who was subsequently neutralized.
While these accounts may sound like fiction, they are amply documented and very real. Hugo Chavez defied the most powerful interests, and he refused to bow down. As head of state of the nation without the largest oil reserves on the planet, and as someone who openly and directly challenged US and Western domination, Chavez was considered an enemy of Washington and its allies.
So, who could have been involved in Chavez’s assassination, if he was assassinated? Certainly it’s no far stretch to imagine the US government involved in a political assassination of an enemy it clearly – and openly – wanted out of the picture. In 2006, the US government formed a special Mission Manager for Venezuela and Cuba under the Directorate of National Intelligence. This elite intelligence unit was charged with expanding covert operations against Chavez and led clandestine missions out of an intelligence fusion center (CIA-DEA-DIA) in Colombia. Some of the pieces that have been coming together include the discovery of several close aides to Chavez who had private, unobstructed access to him over prolonged periods, who fled the country after his death and are collaborating with the US government. If he were assassinated by some kind of exposure to high levels of radiation, or otherwise inoculated or infected by a cancer-causing virus, it would have been done by someone with close access to him, whom he trusted.
MW– Who is Leamsy Salazar and how is he connected to the US Intelligence Agencies?
Eva Golinger– Leamsy Salazar was one of Chavez’s closest aides for nearly seven years. He was a Lieutenant Colonel in the Venezuelan Navy and became known to Chavez after he waved the Venezuelan flag from the roof of the presidential guard’s barracks at the presidential palace during the 2002 coup, as the rescue of Chavez was underway. He became a symbol of the loyal armed forces that helped defeat the coup and Chavez rewarded him by bringing him on as one of his assistants. Salazar was both a bodyguard and an aide to Chavez, who would bring him coffee and meals, stand by his side, travel with him around the world and protect him during public events. I knew him and interacted with him many times. He was one of the familiar faces protecting Chavez for many years. He was a key member of Chavez’s elite inner security circle, with private access to Chavez and privileged and highly confidential knowledge of Chavez’s comings and goings, daily routine, schedule and dealings.
After Chavez passed away in March 2013, because of his extended service and loyalty, Leamsy was transferred to the security detail of Diosdado Cabello, who was then president of Venezuela’s National Assembly and considered one of the most powerful political and military figures in the country. Cabello was one of Chavez’s closest allies. It should be noted that Leamsy remained with Chavez throughout most of his illness up to his death and had privileged access to him that few had, even from his security team.
Shockingly, in December 2014, news reports revealed that Leamsy had secretly been flown to the US from Spain, where he was allegedly on vacation with his family. The plane that flew him was said to be from the DEA. He was placed in witness protection and news reports have stated he is providing information to the US government about Venezuelan officials involved in a high level ring of drug trafficking. Opposition-owned media in Venezuela claim he gave details accusing Diosdado Cabello of being a drug-kingpin, but none of that information has been independently verified, nor have any court records or allegations been released, if they exist.
Another explanation for his going into the witness protection program in the US could include his involvement in the assassination of Chavez, possibly done as part of a CIA black op, or maybe even done under the auspices of CIA but carried out by corrupt elements within the Venezuelan government. Before the Panama Papers were released, I had accidentally discovered and was investigating a dangerous corrupt, high level individual within the government, who Chavez had previously dismissed, but who returned after his death and was placed in an even more influential, powerful position. This individual also appears to be collaborating with the US government. People like that, who let greed obscure their conscience, and who are involved in lucrative criminal activity, could have also played a role in his death.
For example, the Panama Papers exposed another former Chavez aide, Army Captain Adrian Velasquez, who was in charge of security for Chavez’s son Hugo. Captain Velasquez’s wife, a former Navy Officer, Claudia Patricia Diaz Guillen, was Chavez’s nurse for several years and had private, unsupervised access to him. Furthermore, Claudia administered medicines, shots and other health and food-related materials to Chavez over a period of years. Just one month before his deadly illness was discovered in 2011, Chavez named Claudia as Treasurer of Venezuela, placing her in charge of the country’s money. It’s still unclear as to why she was named to this important position, considering she had previously been his nurse and had no similar experience. She was dismissed from the position right after Chavez passed away. Both Captain Velasquez and Claudia appeared in the Panama Papers as owning a shell company with millions of dollars. They also own property in an elite area in the Dominican Republic, Punta Cana, where properties cost in the millions, and they have resided there since at least June 2015. The documents show that right after Chavez passed away and Nicolas Maduro was elected president in April 2013, Captain Velasquez opened an off-shore company on April 18, 2013 through the Panamanian firm Mossack Fonesca, called Bleckner Associates Limited. A Swiss financial investment firm, V3 Capital Partners LLC, affirmed they manage the funds of Captain Velasquez, which number in the millions. It’s impossible for an Army Captain to have earned that amount of money through legitimate means. Neither him nor his wife, Claudia, have returned to Venezuela since 2015.
Captain Velasquez was especially close with Leamsy Salazar.
MW– Can you explain the suspicious circumstances under which Salazar was flown out of Spain to the safety of the United States on a plane belonging to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)? Doesn’t that strike you as a bit strange? At the very least, this suggests that Salazar was acting as an agent for a country that is openly hostile towards Venezuela? That makes him either a collaborator or a traitor. Do you agree?
Eva Golinger– Of course it was highly suspicious that Salazar was flown out of Spain, where he was allegedly on vacation with his family, and taken to the United States on a DEA plane. There is no question that he was collaborating with the US government and betrayed his country. What remains to be seen is what his exact role was. Did he administer the murderous poison to Chavez, or was it one of his partners, such as Captain Velasquez or the nurse/treasurer Claudia?
While this all may sound very conspiracy theory-ish, these are facts that can be verified independently. It is also true, according to declassified secret US documents, that the US Army was developing an injectable radiation weapon to use for political assassinations of select enemies as far back as 1948. The Church Commission hearings into the Kennedy Assassination also uncovered the existence of an assassination weapon developed by CIA to induce heart attacks and soft-tissue cancers. Chavez died of an aggressive soft-tissue cancer. By the time it was detected it was too late. There is other information out there documenting the development of a “cancer virus” that was going to be weaponized and allegedly used to kill Fidel Castro in the 1960s. I know most of that seems like science fiction, but do your research and see what really exists. I don’t believe everything I read either. As a lawyer and investigative journalist, I need hard evidence, and multiple, verifiable sources. Even if we just go on the official US Army document from 1948, it’s a fact that the US government was in the process of a developing a radiation weapon for political assassinations. More than 60 years later we can only imagine what technological capacities exist.
MW– Can you explain why the DEA was involved in this operation and not the CIA as many would expect?
Eva Golinger– I think CIA was involved. They work together on high-profile political cases, and they were operating out of the Intelligence Fusion Center in Colombia together. Why it was DEA and not CIA that brought Leamsy Salazar to the US has not yet been revealed, but I don’t think that means the CIA wasn’t involved in the whole operation.
MW– On a personal note, Hugo Chavez was a giant among men and a real hero. Would you please tell us what his loss has meant to you personally and how his death has impacted the people of Venezuela?
Eva Golinger– The loss of Hugo Chavez has been crushing. He was my friend and I spent nearly ten years as his advisor. The void he has left is impossible to replace. Despite his human flaws, he had a huge heart and genuinely dedicated himself to build a better country for his people, and a better world for humanity. He cared deeply about all people, but especially the poor, neglected and marginalized.
There is a picture taken of Chavez by a bystander, when he had been at an event in the center of Caracas and was walking through a large plaza that had been cleared by security. All of a sudden, he saw a young man, disheveled and seemingly on drugs, barely able to keep himself upright, wearing ragged clothes. To the horror of his security guards, Chavez went over to him and lovingly put his arm around him and offered him a cup of coffee. He didn’t judge the poor guy or reprimand him, or show disgust. He treated him like a fellow human being who deserved to be seen with dignity. He stayed there with him for a while, just telling stories and chatting like old friends. When he had to go, he told one of his guards to offer the man whatever help he needed.
There were no cameras there, no TV, no public. It wasn’t a publicity stunt. It was genuine, sincere care and concern for a fellow human in need. Despite being president and a powerful head of state, Chavez always saw himself as an equal to all people.
His unexpected death has had a tragic toll on Venezuela. Sadly, those he left in charge have been unable to manage the country through this difficult times. A combination of corruption and external sabotage by opposition forces (with foreign support) has crippled the economy. Mismanagement has been widespread and destructive. US agencies and their allies in Venezuela have seized the opportunity to further destabilize and destroy all remaining remnants of chavismo. Now they are trying to tarnish and erase Chavez’s legacy, but I believe this is an impossible task. Even if the current government doesn’t survive the vicious attacks against it, Chavez’s memory in the millions of people he impacted and improved the lives of, will weather the storm. “Chavismo” has become an ideology founded on principles of social justice and human dignity. But do people miss him terribly? Yes.

Quoting Maisoon:
“As for my credentials please note I am not an academic or have titles after my name. I am just a Layperson who has spent 25 years online waking people up to Conspiracies against Humanity, expose lies deceit myths rewritten history as I strive for TRUTH AND JUSTICE IN A WORLD TODAY INFESTED IN SUBTERFUGE that has contaminated Mankind
My channel covers a diverse multitude of topics, Health well Being, Covid Scamdemic, 9/11, Global Warming Hoax Politics Wars Coups, etc.
I used to write articles and newsletters but stopped as people did not want to hear or see what II wanted to say which was not the accepted brainwashed Norm and my views too controversial for Mainstream viewers and readers. I have stuck to my principles and will not budge on them for anyone, no compromises especially if it steers never away from my ultimate goal- The TRUTH!!
If the Truth offends, stop living the lie. Truth is necessary to understand and decide accordingly.
I have been on Kevin Barrett’s shows few times, though, not recently =
I expose and warn people about the enemy to our world just as Jesus Christ did:
John 8:44-45 New King James Version 44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him.
…
John 8-39-59 ESV.
You Are of Your Father the Devil 39 They answered him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would be doing the works Abraham did, (40 ) but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did. (41 ) You are doing the works your father did.”
If we wash our hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless, we side with the powerful – we don’t remain neutral. (Gaza 2023), and if we let this slide then the way of Palestine will be the way of the world. This is one article I wrote a while back at the request of the web editor

Put this question in the Jewish-Israeli Google AI: How many countries has the United States hated?
And the dirty AI flips it around:
9 Countries That Hate America Most
What Countries Dislike the United States the Most?
Ask the AI this: Why does the US attack so many countries?
The United States engages in military interventions due to diverse motivations including protecting national interests, supporting allies, promoting democracy and human rights, countering terrorism, securing economic opportunities, and maintaining international order, though the justifications and outcomes often vary. Historical objectives, such as preventing the spread of communism and maintaining global influence, continue to shape foreign policy alongside evolving challenges like counterterrorism and regional stability.
Ask the Jewish Google this:
Why does Israel attack so many countries?
Recent Israeli military actions in other countries, particularly Iran, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen, are officially justified by Israel as defensive, preemptive, or preventative measures against perceived threats. Analysts and observers, however, cite a range of interpretations for these attacks, including geopolitical strategy and concerns over Iran’s nuclear program and regional influence.
So the decades of dumb-downing, decades of mush TV and now mush social media, and several hundred years of Manifest Destiny and Monroe Doctrine Crocodile Tears, and the absolute penetration of massive brain washing and psychological warfare techniques on the Consumer Capitalist Corrupt Americans, and you get that answer, Maisoon.

The show would air once, maybe getting past the 60-minute mark (it’s an hour show). And then, the proverbial shit would hit the fan.
My life would be turned upside down, because I would be sued, the station would be sued, the FCC would be coming in, the Trump Cunts would be sending in the censorship squads, and it would make Amy Goodman and even main-scum media news.
Israel DOES not have a right to Exist. Never did, and never should have. You see, this is where things would go — I would be drummed out of this county, maybe even the state of Oregon.
Employment lost.
But since this — these interviews — were put on a personal website, or Substack, well, as I always tell people — everything or anything you might hear coming out of my mouth could be a thought experiment.
“Bomb them Back to the Stone Age?” ArtBuchwald or General Curtis LeMay?
Rep. Tim Walberg (R-Mich.): At a March 2024 town hall meeting, a video captured Walberg suggesting that the U.S. should use a nuclear bomb on Gaza to “get it over quick,” comparing it to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.): On a May 2025 appearance on Fox News, Fine suggested that Gaza should be “nuked,” likening it to the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Amichai Eliyahu (Heritage Minister): In a November 2023 radio interview, the far-right minister from the Otzma Yehudit party said that dropping a “nuclear bomb” on Gaza was “an option”.
What if America sent more bombs instead of troops during the Vietnam War?
Oh, so those good guys, the POTUS Scum, totally protected? The first slide is, well, incorrect, because of the Samson Option, which has Israel pointing their nukes at 16 major European Capitals.
Here’s an article she wrote. She says most of her articles and talks have been erased. This is the Way of the Century of the Jewish Techno-Fascist!
“Patriotism lies not in blind obedience to authority, but in the desire to search for the truth.” – Ramman Kenoun
Like a blood thirsty pack of Hyenas encircling their weak prey, ready for the kill, the Jewish NeoCons and their Zionist Partners, are preparing their own packs for the kill as they still intend to want another war against Iran and also with the fiasco created in Ukraine, they seem to drool for a Nuclear war against Russia and China, and to hell with the consequences. A Deathwish upon their prey whilst at the same time erroneously and arrogantly believing that somehow their Tribal Pack will be immune to any and all Nuclear Fallout having secured ‘safe’ Dens – Bunkers fully stocked with essentials – Food, water, clothing, and technologies – AI Robots to serve them.
Viewing themselves as a formidable foe and with their customary arrogant smirk, this hungry pack of hyenas gets set for yet another Muslim prey, while the rest of the ‘animal’ kingdom, the world community, holds back and just looks on indifferently, accepting it as yet another normal progression of the rules of the jungle- the survival of the fittest and to hell with the rest so long as “I’m alright Jack’. But this begs the question – since when do we Human Beings need to reduce ourselves to the savagery of the animal kingdom, with an inexplicable, insatiable hunger for blood? When will this hunger be contained, when will their bellies be too full to consume anymore prey? Is there no limit or must they continue to get fatter on the carcasses of the dead and dying? How many more must be sacrificed, put out as easy prey to these carnivorous predators? We have already witnessed their deadly attacks in Pakistan and their coup to remove Imran Khan, with more Muslims sacrificed to USSRAEL’S created war of terror. What’s a few thousand more dead Muslims for these Vultures and their pecking order, who have also created a blood lust scenario in the Yemen and in Sudan and Somalia and in Nigeria too, between the perverted Baptist/Evangelical Christians and Muslims; stoking up racist unrest in Kenya too where the Government apparently has sought help from Israel to fight off the non-existent “Islamist terrorist threat” there! And the same Pack-training their Zionist Hindu Indians to attack Kashmiris and revoke the citizenship of Muslim Indians and other ethnic groups within India.
Are 60 million dead Russians not enough for the Russian Jewish-led Communist Bolsheviks, or the millions sacrificed in both WW1 and WW2, costing the lives of people of all nations and cultures, to bring about the Pagan Temple State of Israel. Today, we see this insatiable lust for blood of Christian Ukrainians and Russians whilst their greedy Pack feed on their criminality and corruption, fed daily by Western taxpayers who ignore the piling carcasses of these hungry hyenas.
How about the nearly 2 million dead Iraqis, Egyptians, Lebanese and Palestinians past and present, not sufficient to stem their hunger? It is estimated that since the 911 terrorist attack carried out by their Mossad Sayanem Packs in the Israeli entity, around 30 million Muslims have lost their lives to this perpetual killing machine of bestial animals
Palestinians, for example, have been suffering for the last painfully tortuous 75 years and the killing continues with impunity each day, cold-blooded and senseless. In the first weeks of 2023, almost 50 young Palestinians have been murdered, their families ripped apart by the new far-right Racist Israeli Ministers who declared that every Palestinian mother and father will mourn and grieve the deaths of their children. The world stays silent due to the self-chosen status of the Aggressor that hides behind its blood-stained cloak of fake Anti Semitism and’ Israel defending itself’ mantra!
Must the attackers now be permitted to quench their thirst with possibly a few million more Muslims in Iran this time, or the rest of the indigenous people of Palestine already refugees and prisoners in their own homeland or those ethnically cleansed refugees in the artificially manufactured State of Jordan, Lebanon and Syria where many went when they were thrown out by Israel and the new Western Zionist Iraqi Government after the 2003 war ended. Despite their continued suffering, many perished in the devastating earthquake that hit Syria and Turkey. Was this a ‘natural’ earthquake or one brought on by US/Israeli HAARPS Tectonic technology which is not easy to prove, just speculation, but too many coincidences that need to be addressed and questions asked to challenge the narrative.
Or is this scenario an actual injustice to the real animal kingdom where the creatures only kill to fill their hunger and that of their young – where their killing is not perpetual but done out of necessity for survival – the stronger and faster the animal, the greater its chances of survival. But it does not crave a kill for the sheer thrill of it, unlike the mankind version of the mammal world, where the Beasts, in packs, hunt every corner of the world in order to satisfy their avarice for blood thus ensuring their might! Alas, today our animal kingdom too has been targeted, millions of livestock, poultry killed or burned in suspicious fires like those in farmlands in the USA where yet another questionable disaster has fallen foul of the people of East Palestine Ohio and elsewhere, trains set ablaze, food warehouses too. All the while the Bill Gates Psychopaths are creating their answer to the man-made food shortages – lab grown meat/chicken/fish and eggs and GM Crops.
Oh, and we must never forget the biggest attack upon the whole world – namely the Tribe’s Covid Medical Terrorism to cull and depopulate the 8 billion people that God created in His World to whom He provided an abundance for us all but tragically the Ruling Pack have not distributed fairly but coveted the resources for their own self-serving avaricious Pack.
Throughout mankind’s miserable history, that has been distorted and rewritten, through various ‘civilizations’, by a certain Pack of people who chose to wage wars in order to gain power, prestige, and enhance their wealth by forcible seizure of rich resources extracted from other Nations to whom they justly belong. Rich resources composing a multitude of assets that enrich and strengthen their power and dominance – land, oil, gas resources, water, gems- occupation and oppression of other Nations’ indigenous Peoples in order to subjugate and enslave them while the Packs sit up high on their thrones.
The dystopian world of the WEF that declares that the vast majority of Humanity ‘will own nothing and be happy’ whilst those dictating and ruling us will have everything, land, homes, cars, yachts, money, real meat, etc and eventually they hope to be served by their Artificial Intelligence Robotic Humanoids as Israeli lunatic Yuval Harari so proudly and brazenly keeps telling us because apparently he has replaced God who was part of our old world now discarded by this new Pack within which they alone select the ruler, unelected of course by the submissive and enslaved Populace.
The rule of the Jungle prevails where ‘might’ is right’ as they own over 80% of the world’s wealth, Companies [Blackrock Vanguard] and Banks as well as controlling Governments and world leaders no doubt promised a stake in this Great Reset New World Order dominated at the top helm by Jews and their obscene wealth that has allowed them to buy power. A Pack, non-Semitic genetically, that consists of wealthy Jews, like the Rothschilds Bankers [IMF World Bank] Black Nobility, Jesuits, Freemasons and other undesirable Secret Societies that are all doing us immense harm just as our Health Officials today have done with the horrific Covid Scamdemic that targeted all nationalities, all ages male and female and wants to purge the world of its elderly people who they see as ‘useless eaters’ and a liability on human resources along with the those who have health or mental issues which is why they want them to euthanise themselves so the Health Officials will not get the blame along with pardoning them for killing people with the untested experimental ‘vaccines’.
Ironically, the Head of their packs belong to the ‘geriatric age’, although of course it is alleged they feed off the blood of young people by taking Adrenochrome to boost their virality as Adrenochrome drinkers love the flavor of Satan to extend their shelf life!!
When one examines the perpetrators throughout history, the most uncanny conclusion hits you like a bolt of lightning – sharp, severe, burning, painful discovery that they have always been part of the same Pack of Beasts, a peculiar Breed, that have ravaged our world, picking out its prey one by one and leaving behind a trail of blood and disaster in their tracks, their very own Holocaust of Nations! They jump from one victim to the other, throwing the sanctity of life into the gutter but choosing to hide behind their safe bushes that they so hypocritically define as their national security defence and protection of democracy, Western values and freedom, justifying their endless ‘wars on terror’ which ironically, they themselves commit on an unbelievably massive scale.
Like werewolves in the hours of darkness, they covertly scheme and plot, conspire and eye their next targets that they know will be weaker than them, decimating their numbers slowly but surely, because their victims do not have the same deadly nuclear-inspired resources at their disposal. They wait quietly, patiently, stirring up an atmosphere of fear, dread, divisions, uncertainties and subsequent insecurities that rattle their opponents and their own citizens who, in many cases, unwittingly, blindly, fund their blood thirsty escapades.
Using propaganda as their greatest psychological tool, they manipulate facts, figures and distort the truth and history, in order to deceive members of the sheeple amongst us, who more often than not, prefer to stay in their self-inflicted comatose state of ignorance and mind-controlled stupor! And this same Pack have the gall to call exposure of the Truth and their Conspiracies against us as ‘Misinformation, Disinformation’ as their Big Tech Nerds hit us all with their Algorithm Censorship across all fields of our lives, questioning and attacking our faiths, our gender, our natural Family Structure, which only they are allowed to perpetuate through their inter-breeding to keep it all ‘in their family bloodline’.
Real eyes realize real lies
Why are so many willing to live within this false matrix world where peoples’ lives are planned out for them by the Controllers, the manipulators – the Bankers, World Leaders, corrupt Politicians who all work for the same infamous foe and predator – the Chief of the Pack. With access to non-mainstream media people sadly still remain hoodwinked even many of the brightest minds oblivious to outcomes of this evil pack that has also used their religion and distorted/rewritten other religions as a means of mind control to dupe so many with their scheming and conspiracies against us that sadly has had tragic consequences and outcomes. What will it take to revive their sanity, to stir their inertia, to open their eyes to the painful realities of war, plunder, oppression – the true horrors of Terrorist domination by a pack of thugs, bully boys, criminal gangsters that feed off our fears and deprive so many of us of our lives, our dreams, hopes and aspirations, indeed, denying us our rightful future to live in peace and at harmony with our beautiful world that they are destroying and contaminating with their poison.
In Biblical times, they chose to devour Christ, to destroy the structure of Christ’s true Church.
“Christ lumped the Pharisees and the Sadducees together as a ‘broad of vipers (Matthew 3:7-8)”
And the Apostle Paul warned the people that the leaders of Judaism “both killed the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men”
“They also chose to turn their backs on their Creator and all His Prophets, through their arrogance and hunger for riches, placing far more importance on material wealth than on spirituality based on the teachings that God wished them to abide and live by. Bestowing the title of Chosen Ones upon themselves, they deemed it their privilege and superiority to conquer the rest of the world and turn its Gentile Communities into servitude, to do their every bidding through their blood sweat and tears while they became the Golden fatted Calf that had to be worshipped and adored, adorned in gold as any Pagan Idol would be. Not content with Christ’s persecution, they decided to target others whom they deemed were not as ‘special’ as they were as they deluded themselves with the myth that they were the sole Divine Chosen Ones, following the doctrines and twisted dogmas of each of their dominant and successive Rabbis who changed and corrupted their own original ‘faith’ chosen for them by none other than God. Their interpretation of faith though has become reliant not on God’s Teachings but that of the rabbinical Cult of the Talmudic ‘Seven laws of Noah’ which blaspheme by declaring: “God studies the Talmud and that God admits that the rabbis have defeated Him in debate”
Indeed, it appears therefore that this Pack of Hyenas, or more aptly, biblically referred to as the ‘brood of vipers’, see themselves as the King of the Jungle, whose “Hebrew monotheism must have “jurisdiction” over “the whole world” (Hoffman/Pike) which they delude themselves belongs exclusively to their Pack, marking out the stench of their territorial scent.
Just like the Hyena Pack who look rather like large wild dogs, but which in fact make up a separate biological family made up of four species that today survive, the Jews (Sephardic-Middle Eastern Jews, North European Jews, and the Jews of the Americas/New World, and of course the Khazarian Ashkenazi Converts,) are supposedly part of the “Human Race” but they opt to set themselves apart as something far more superior and precious than the ‘ordinary Human’ and as with Hyenas where the females are the dominant members, the same is said of Jewish mothers, (a Jew is deemed as one so long as his mother is of Jewish stock), soon followed in rank by their cubs, while adult males rank lowest.
Again, unlike the rest of mankind, this Pack see themselves as of higher intelligence and yet they are the Predators and the Scavengers of our world, scouring the land, setting their traps and encircling their helpless prey.
Their world tendency is to move their kills closer to each other in order to protect their spoils from other possible scavengers, sharpening their strategic hunting methods and leaving evidence of their presence and their hunt.
Wherever they have attacked, they leave their mark of destruction and blood-stained Earth that becomes deserted, vacated, and their incessant aggressive behavior is followed by fear and superstition among those that have survived their brutal attacks – they scavenge off the fear of the remaining future kill, their next pound of Human flesh!
In tune with their carnivorous hunting behavior, they move with their packs from one Continent to another, devouring all that they view as their promised prey!
But like the usual rules of the Animal Kingdom, each animal has its own predator and no creature is infallible. There will always be another creature that proves stronger, faster and more determined and each creature may make that vital mistake that will cost it its life. In our case as the Kingdom of Mankind, for too long we have sat back in the shadows, out of fear, weakness or just downright indifference, and allowed this Predacious Pack of Scavengers to pick us out, one by one, nation after nation, unabated, unchallenged, bleeding us dry and savaging our population, staining and polluting our world with their blood stains and stench. Instead of fighting back and trying to protect and defend our very lives and future, we instead have cowardly chosen to stay in full view of our attacker, who proceeds to destroy our world while they accumulate our dead flesh, our resources and our God given wealth, while they smirk and with their blood curdling howls, laugh all the way to world domination and power.
Allow Truth to set you free as it fears no questions. Truth exists, lies are invented. There is no religion higher than the Truth.
When will the World Community, a majority of Mankind, Gentiles, unlike the aforementioned pack, the brood of vipers we were all warned about centuries ago but chose to ignore, form its own stronger pack, on the side of right and justice, unite and resist this evil for the sake of peace and real freedom, before it ends up obliterating God’s Earth with its dystopian insanity and thirst for violent conquests that will only leave an unpalatable legacy to our future generations.
When will people begin to think for themselves, to feel with their hearts and exercise their human conscience, enlighten their souls spiritually in order to judge what is right and what is wrong and not allow Evil to prevail over God’s goodness and morality? Be a precious part of the Family of Man that God created and divided into ‘Tribes and Nations’ and reject belonging to a blood thirsty pack of Hyenas unleashed in the Human Jungle. We must remember that we are the many, and they are the few who must be stopped.
We must not stay silent so they can feel comfortable in their smugness and arrogance.
“Follow the path of the unsafe, independent thinker.
Expose your ideas to the dangers of controversy.
Speak your mind and fear less the label of ‘crackpot’
than the stigma of conformity.
And on issues that seem important to you,
Stand up and be counted at any cost.”
(~ Thomas J Watson (1874-1956)
Now, I did have David Swanson on, here at DV, and he doesn’t advocate military intervention, but alas, thank god we can agree to disagree.
At least two petitions signed by tens of thousands of people of conscience around the world demand the immediate deployment of a multinational U.N. armed protective force to Gaza to protect the civilian population. The American Educational Trust petition demands: Deploy an Emergency Protective Force to Palestine. The Protect Palestine petition calls for Urgent International Military Protection for Palestinians.

Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, October 2025, pp. 26-28
Special Report by Ousman Noor
IN GAZA TODAY, an entire population is facing annihilation in full view of the world. Since October 2023, Israel’s genocide has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians—men, women and children—while systematically destroying the territory’s infrastructure. Entire neighborhoods have been erased, hospitals and schools bombed, and the flow of food, water and medicine cut off causing mass starvation. Now, with Israel’s recent declaration of full military occupation over Gaza City, the danger of total extermination or expulsion is greater than ever.
Every diplomatic avenue has been tried and has failed. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled in January 2024 that Israel was plausibly committing genocide and ordered immediate measures to halt its assault and allow aid into Gaza. Israel defied the ruling. The United Nations Security Council (UNSC), shackled by repeated U.S. vetoes, has been powerless to act. Even the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrants for Israeli leaders in November 2024 were met with open defiance from key Western states.
It is in this vacuum—where international law is ignored and political will is absent—that the call for humanitarian and military intervention is not only justified, but legally and morally required.
THE LAW IS CLEAR: WE MUST ACT
Under the 1948 Genocide Convention, every signatory state has an obligation to prevent and punish genocide. The ICJ’s own rulings make it clear that this duty arises the moment a serious risk is evident—not after the crime is complete.
The Responsibility to Protect (R2P) doctrine, adopted by the U.N. General Assembly in 2005, reinforces this obligation. When a state is “manifestly failing” to protect its population—or, as in Gaza, is the perpetrator—other states have a collective responsibility to act. R2P envisions diplomatic pressure, sanctions, and, as a last resort, military intervention. We have reached that last resort.
Customary international law further supports this path. In cases of genocide, states may lawfully use force on humanitarian grounds without UNSC approval, provided the action is necessary, proportionate and a last resort. Gaza today meets every one of these criteria.
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES: NON-NEGOTIABLE REQUIREMENTS TO STOP THE GENOCIDE
Calls for “intervention” are meaningless unless tied to concrete objectives that can actually stop the killing. In Gaza, the machinery of genocide is multilayered—cutting off food, water and medical care while destroying infrastructure and indiscriminately attacking civilians. That machinery can only be dismantled if specific steps are taken:
1. Break the Siege Completely
All land and sea borders must be opened and secured to guarantee the free, unhindered flow of humanitarian aid. International forces must ensure aid convoys are protected from attack. Without lifting the siege, starvation and disease will persist even if the bombs stop.
2.Enforce a No-Fly Zone
Airstrikes and drone attacks are the primary tools of mass killing. A no-fly zone over Gaza would immediately end aerial bombardment, removing Israel’s most devastating weapon. This is essential, not optional.
3. Blockade Israeli Ports for Weapons Imports
Israel’s ability to sustain the genocide depends on a steady flow of imported weapons. A targeted maritime blockade on Israeli ports receiving arms would cut that supply, reducing capacity for large-scale assaults.
4. Neutralize Military Infrastructure Used in Civilian Attacks
Bases, artillery positions and command centers used to target civilians must be rendered inoperable. This is not about occupation or conquest—it is about disabling the machinery of genocide.
5. Impose and Enforce a Permanent Ceasefire
Ceasefires in name only are meaningless. International forces must monitor compliance and respond to violations in real time to ensure that killing does not resume.
6. Ensure Compliance with International Law
Israel must withdraw from all occupied Palestinian territories as required by ICJ rulings and U.N. General Assembly resolutions. This is the legal foundation for any durable peace.
7. Provide Long-Term Protective Security for Palestinians
A protective presence must remain until Palestinians can exercise their right to self-determination free from military assault. Without this, any gains will be temporary.
These objectives are not mere aspirations—they are the minimum conditions required to actually stop the genocide. Until these objectives are reached, Israel’s machinery of destruction will remain operational.
PRECEDENTS: UNSC APPROVAL IS NOT REQUIRED
Opponents of intervention often claim that UNSC authorization is indispensable. History proves otherwise.
When the Security Council was deadlocked, the Uniting for Peace resolution (UNGA 377A) empowered the General Assembly to recommend collective action—including armed force—in Korea (1950) and during the Suez Crisis (1956). These resolutions are not binding, but they have facilitated real interventions.
Even without General Assembly endorsement, states have acted in cases of genocide and mass atrocities when UNSC consensus was blocked:
Vietnam in Cambodia (1978) to end the Khmer Rouge genocide.
France in Rwanda (1994) to create humanitarian safe zones during genocide.
NATO in Kosovo (1999) to halt ethnic cleansing.
The relevance of these examples is not whether one supports or opposes the specific interventions. The point is that international law and state practice show UNSC approval is not a prerequisite for action in the face of mass atrocities. In Gaza’s case, the legal and moral justification is even stronger, given the ICJ’s finding of plausible genocide and the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrants for Israeli leaders.
THE PROSPECT OF A UNGA RESOLUTION UNDER UNITING FOR PEACE
There is growing discussion that the U.N. General Assembly could act under the Uniting for Peace mechanism to recommend measures to protect Palestinians in Gaza. In theory, this could be a powerful tool: bypassing the paralysis of the UNSC, rallying a majority of states and giving political legitimacy to collective action.
But there is also a real risk. Some influential states—such as France and Saudi Arabia—could seek to dilute the resolution’s language, framing it as a call for a “stabilization force” rather than a military intervention to stop the genocide. This would be a dangerous sleight of hand.
“Stabilization” implies freezing the situation in place, which in Gaza means stabilizing a reality of occupation, apartheid, siege and ethnic cleansing. Occupation should not be stabilized; apartheid should not be made permanent. A force sent merely to “stabilize” would, in effect, be complicit in entrenching the very crimes it claims to address.
If the UNGA is to provide a meaningful avenue for stopping the genocide, it must resist such dilution. A strongly worded resolution must:
Explicitly recognize that Israel is committing genocide.
Call for a military intervention with the strategic objectives outlined above.
Mandate enforcement of international law, including an end to occupation and apartheid, not just a “cessation of hostilities.”
Anything less would be a betrayal of the Palestinian people and a missed opportunity to demonstrate that the international system can still act decisively to protect human life.
THE MORAL IMPERATIVE
There is no neutral ground when faced with extermination. As South Africa’s first democratically elected president Nelson Mandela declared, “Our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.” That truth is sharper than ever today.
Children are starving to death in makeshift shelters. Families are wiped out in single airstrikes. Those who survive risk permanent exile if Israel’s declared occupation solidifies. Without decisive action, Gaza will be emptied—not just of its people, but of its history, its culture and its right to exist.
The moral question is no longer whether we can intervene, but whether we are prepared to bear the cost of refusing to do so.
PROTECT PALESTINE: TURNING OUTRAGE INTO ACTION
The Protect Palestine campaign (<www.protect-palestine.com>) was launched to transform global outrage into concrete political pressure. We provide legal research, policy tools and advocacy resources to press governments into meeting their obligations under the Genocide Convention and R2P.
We are building a coalition of states that have already demonstrated political commitment to Palestinian liberation—many of which have never recognized Israel and maintain no trade ties. These nations can and must form the backbone of a multinational protective force.
With Israel’s formal declaration of military occupation over Gaza City, the risk of mass expulsion and irreversible demographic erasure is imminent. The need for military intervention is no longer a matter for future debate—it is an urgent demand of the present.
CONCLUSION: GAZA CANNOT WAIT
The legal case for intervention is clear. The moral imperative is beyond question. The strategic objectives are clear, achievable and essential. The precedents prove that UNSC approval is not a requirement. And if the UNGA chooses to act under Uniting for Peace, it must do so with courage, not compromise—calling for military intervention to end genocide, dismantle occupation and abolish apartheid.
When history records the events of this moment, it will note who acted and who chose to stand aside. Gaza’s survival depends on the world making the right choice—now, not after the genocide is complete.

And why does the US hate Mexico or Venezuela? Just in:
Nicolás Maduro’s backup presidential plane departs Caracas, destination unknown. Is Venezuela’s president fleeing as US forces approach?
Israel is destroying Gaza City and the world is silent. They won’t stop until every corner of Gaza is flattened.
HATE:
Israeli forces assassinated journalist Hassan Esleih in a strike on the burns unit inside the reception building of Nasser Medical Complex, as he was receiving treatment from a previous Israeli attack. Hassan was a legend a symbol of honest, fast journalism in Gaza.
HATE: An Israeli drone spotted raining grenades & bombs on Gazan civilians indiscriminately Haaretz reported in 2024 that dozens of Israeli startups are using Gaza as “testing ground” for experimenting & showcasing different kinds of weaponized drones & making fortunes out of it!
HATE: No one sleeps in Gaza’s night; reality itself is a nightmare, more truthful than any dream.

Sadly we are facing a huge insurmountable Enemy that no-one has a spine to challenge and confront although poor Yemen is the only impoverished country with the moral integrity to help their oppressed Arab brethren betrayed and abandoned by the Arab States that are ruled by Jewish Arabs
Until such time that people truly awaken to the horrors facing us all, we will never be free and my poor Palestine will perish
My heart will continue to ache and my eyes well with non stoppable tears

Young poet looks to Frida Kahlo as a hero! Taylor Yount is on a mission to get businesses to accommodate; tp emancipate themselves from prejudices against those with disabilities
Taylor is an amazing woman, and her story is about overcoming so many “things” in life. Her story came to me as a book, and then, her condition not just at birth, but in the womb: What are the symptoms of congenital varicella syndrome?
Babies born with congenital varicella syndrome may have may have some or all of the following symptoms:
skin (mostly on arms and legs)
thickened, overgrown scar tissue
hardened, red and inflamed skin
limbs
limb atrophy — limb deficiencies, malformations and underdevelopment
autonomic nervous system — controls involuntary functions
The book is her heart and soul, to put it rather simply. And this project combined with the artwork of Veta should allow Taylor to be an ambassador of sorts.
“Writing, for me, always starts with going inward— listening closely to what’s stirring beneath the surface and letting it spill onto the page.
If you’ve ever searched for words to make sense of your healing—whether from trauma, medical challenges, or the long road of reclaiming yourself after hardship—this collection was written with you in mind. My Sutured Mind is my debut poetry collection— a journey through vulnerability, resilience, and the power of hope and recovery.”
In interviews with the California Health Report, young adults with serious disabilities and their families pointed out that the transition to adulthood is filled with challenges. Accessing the medical care and transportation that would allow these young people to live more independently can be difficult. So can getting help with issues like socializing and pursuing hobbies because adult transition programs for youth with disabilities heavily focus on life skills, leaving little room for activities they enjoy, caregivers said.
Meanwhile, high-functioning young adults with disabilities who’ve made it to college said trying to balance the demands of higher education and coordinate their own health care for the first time outside a pediatric setting can feel overwhelming. Preparation and education from staff at pediatric hospitals could ease the transition for youth, as could greater disability awareness on college campuses.
Overall, young adults with disabilities and their parents argued that health care officials, regional centers, and school districts need to foster more awareness about what it’s like for youth with disabilities to transition to adulthood. Far too many families don’t know what to expect, they said, or how to get the services they need.
On Sept. 17, 1925, Frida suffered an accident that would change her life. One year later, she sketched The Accident, in the style of traditional Mexican ex-voto paintings. As religious works of art, ex-voto paintings, usually executed on tin sheets, portray scenes of miraculous heavenly interventions. The miracle in this sketch is that Frida did not die. Another signature of the ex-voto style is that events are described both in pictures and words. Most of Frida’s paintings would incorporate elements of the ex-voto style.
Several medical professionals concluded that Kahlo was rendered infertile because of the horrific injury that punctured her abdomen and uterus. Her numerous miscarriages and need for abortions provided evidence to support this diagnosis. She remained in America until 1934 and this was an especially prolific period for her. In 1931, she painted Frieda and Diego Rivera.
Frida Kahlo’s experience in Detroit in 1932 would be of special significance, as she saw herself confined to Detroit’s Henry Ford Hospital. After suffering a miscarriage, Frida had to stay at the hospital by herself for two weeks while Diego visited the city to attend his art exhibitions. Kahlo requested medical textbooks from her physicians so that she could see what her unborn child’s fetus might have looked like. When she was refused this kind of access, Rivera gave her a book that she used as an inspiration for Frida and the Miscarriage.
This was how Kahlo used the advantages of what is now known as art therapy. British artist Adrian Hill originally used this term in 1942. Through art therapy, creative work might help people develop strong defenses against their tribulations by freeing the creative force of the frequently repressed sufferer. People can express their life stories, ideas, and emotions via art therapy, searching for a voice that grief has silenced.
One of Kahlo’s most famous paintings called The Broken Column was made in 1944. She created it soon after having her spinal surgery.

School is back in session and Labor Day approaches, as headlines announce what we nervous cases see as the apocalypse. Summer is too long for me, emotionally. The bright promise of early summer fades and darkens by mid-August.
Twenty-five hundred years ago, the desolate people of the Hebrew Bible cried out to the prophet Jeremiah, “The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved,” and I could have written this yesterday. Those brave people, crying out their hopelessness, looking for direction and consolation. Me? Footage of the National Guard often sends me to my room with Mexican food, the latest issue of People magazine and my emotional support cat.

When NASA was founded back in 1958, its charter explicitly declared “that activities in space should be devoted to peaceful purposes for the benefit of all mankind.”
For decades, success meant a mix of spaceflight, crewed exploration, robotic exploration, education activities, and science across four major disciplines: Earth science, astrophysics, planetary science, and heliophysics.
In a galling announcement made in August of 2025, NASA’s acting chief, Sean Duffy, declared the intention to abandon all non-spaceflight and exploration-related activities, defying the agency’s charter.
Will anyone act to save the heart of NASA?

Forget about the fucking MAGA maggots assisting: winter storm warning and a heat advisory were in place simultaneously this week in Alaska as the northern part of the state is expecting snow and ice and the Inside Passage battles abnormally warm temperatures.
Why It Matters
The end of summer has contrasting weather across the United States, with the Pacific Northwest battling dangerously hot temperatures, while a cold front brings more fall-like weather to much of the rest of the country.
Meanwhile, parts of northern Alaska are under a winter weather advisory and winter storm warning as some of the first snows of the season begin, whereas the Inside Passage in Southeast Alaska is experiencing temperatures in the 80s. In Southwest Alaska, an atmospheric river is bringing heavy rain and strong winds.
For the winter storm warning, National Weather Service (NWS) Fairbanks meteorologists warned of “wintry precipitation” including an icy glaze of .1 inches along Anaktuvuk Pass and the north side of the Brooks Range along the Dalton Highway Corridor. Earlier in the week, another forecast warned of up to 2 inches of snow, although meteorologists said there is “substantial” uncertainty in storm totals and where the worst of the storm will hit.
Invasion of the grass snatchers: Grass carp have already started reproducing naturally in U.S. rivers feeding into Lake Erie. According to the Invasive Species Centre, if they spread further, 33 fish species and 18 bird species could be at risk.
Similar invasions elsewhere show the cost. In Australia, a Mary River cod was found choking on a tilapia. Snakehead fish overgrowth required dam control in Maryland. Meanwhile, sea lampreys have haunted Great Lakes fisheries for decades.
The Red Rebel Brigade calls itself “a performance troupe dedicated to illuminating the global environmental crisis.” The group evolved out of climate change protests in the U.K. in the early 2000s by global environmental group Extinction Rebellion. James Comiskey, an activist with Extinction Rebellion’s Boston chapter, describes the Red Rebel Brigade as an “arm” of the Extinction Rebellion group, with the groups’ actions “typically done together.” A science-oriented protest by Extinction Rebellion can be “a powerful combination,” he said, when paired with the visual, emotive level of the Brigade’s silent, mime procession.

“This time will be different. Agentic AI’s software will be capable of ‘eating’ the core functions of government. The Agentic State… marks a shift in the nature of government.” — advisor to Ukraine’s Digital Gulag!
Now, moving to my email in-box and some wimpy comment BACK at me.
There are fucking white boy trash defending the murderer Kyle, still, five years later:
Check out Mister Fish from Wisconsin commenting. And Paulokirk, tambien!
The Maywand District murders: In 2010, a “Kill Team” of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan was responsible for killing several unarmed civilians. An investigation revealed that low-ranking soldiers were sometimes coerced into participating by a senior leader. In one instance, a young private pleaded guilty to murder, admitting he made a “bad decision” when he shot an unarmed teen after a higher-ranking soldier ordered him to.
“The crux of the prosecution’s case was based squarely on Morlock’s testimony that Gibbs generated the idea of killing noncombatants and covering up the killings as lawful combat engagements,” the court filings read. “Although Morlock initially told CID during a videotaped interview that he did not witness Gibbs commit any offenses, Morlock later testified at trial that Gibbs gave him a grenade to toss at the first Afghan, resulting in the first murder.”
And way way back, the US Army did studies on all the shoot first, ask the dead questions later mentality of 18, 19 and 20 year old punks. Putting in 23 year old soldiers in the mix, in these squads, they studied and observed, created a more “empathetic attack force” which would possibly not shoot every living thing in a home or on a farm in that foreign country where the mercenary forces have been deployed.
Rittenhouse? The punks defending a car business? Fucking amped up and juiced up on that phallic gun in his hands.
A US soldier has shot dead 16 Afghan civilians, nine of them children, in a night-time shooting spree in a village outside his base in southern Afghanistan, a rampage the Afghan president, Hamid Karzai, said was “impossible to forgive”.
The unprecedented attack on families asleep in their homes came as anti-foreign sentiment was already running high after Afghans discovered US troops had burned copies of the Qur’an at a military base.
The US president, Barack Obama, and the British prime minister, David Cameron, are due to discuss UK and American plans for Afghanistan at a meeting in Washington on Tuesday.
Obama said he was deeply saddened.
“I offer my condolences to the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives, and to the people of Afghanistan, who have endured too much violence and suffering. This incident … does not represent the exceptional character of our military and the respect that the United States has for the people of Afghanistan.”
The Army has missed its recruiting target twice in the past five years—by roughly 8 percent in 2018 and by 25 percent in 2022. While COVID shocks and a stronger job market may have hurt its efforts in 2022, other services mostly made their recruiting quotas—if in some cases by advancing recruits who had signed contracts but were not scheduled to enter service until fiscal 2023.
Yet the Army has yet to make substantial movement toward changes that could sizably increase its number of recruits. Gen. James McConville, the Army’s chief of staff, even doubled down, insisting that standards will not be lowered in such a way that would sacrifice soldier quality for quantity. While lowering standards is no doubt one way to enlarge the pool of the military-qualified applicants, it is by no means the only way to do so. Recent research indicates that looking at people who are somewhat older than today’s typical recruit could broaden that pool while also maintaining quality—or even increasing it.…
Recruiting older people to enlist in the Army could help with more than just its raw recruiting numbers. In our 2022 RAND study, we found that individuals who enlist over the age of 21 perform better as soldiers on several metrics. For instance, recruits in the 25-to-35 age range were about 15 percent less likely to attrit due to poor performance than recruits ages 16-to-18, and about 6 percent more likely to reenlist. In that same study, recruiters noted a perception that older recruits are “of higher quality, more focused, and more motivated, as well as being ready to ship to basic training more quickly.”
Recruiters told us that older recruits were also more likely to walk into a recruiting station on their own without targeted outreach, indicating ample room for increased efforts to inform older individuals about Army opportunities. In interviews with young soldiers, some even insisted that older recruits’ maturity made them better suited for military life. And to pile on, a previous study found that older recruits have higher qualification test scores, higher levels of education, and are more likely to be promoted compared to younger recruits.
Early childhood is a sensitive period for learning and social skill development. The maturation of cerebral regions underlying social processing lays the foundation for later social-emotional competence. This study explored myelin changes in social brain regions and their association with changes in parent-rated social-emotional development in a cohort of 129 children (64 females, 0–36 months, 77 White). Results reveal a steep increase in myelination throughout the social brain in the first 3 years of life that is significantly associated with social-emotional development scores. These findings add knowledge to the emerging picture of social brain development by describing neural underpinnings of human social behavior. They can contribute to identifying age-/stage-appropriate early life factors in this developmental domain.
Uses experience to temper new recruits: Newer, less-experienced soldiers are typically integrated into squads and platoons alongside seasoned veterans. This structure allows younger service members to benefit from their more experienced peers and leaders who provide mentorship and oversight.
Implements rigorous training: Before deployment, soldiers undergo extensive training to prepare them for the stresses of combat. This includes:
Stress inoculation: Repeatedly exposing soldiers to controlled, simulated combat scenarios to build resilience and improve their performance under pressure.
Tactical exercises: Drills that prepare soldiers to follow orders and execute specific tasks as a coordinated team.
He has been hailed as a hero. He has been feted by politicians, including Donald Trump. He has been compared to John Wayne as a symbol of law-abiding people fighting back against lawlessness. When he took a rifle to a protest over the earlier police shooting that left Jacob Blake paralyzed, Rittenhouse said his intention was to protect property against violence.
Rittenhouse was acquitted because of changes in the legal understanding of self-defense in recent years. Based on the Rittenhouse verdict, the rest of us are now unsafe around anyone with a gun.
Rittenhouse had been guarding an auto dealership at which several cars had been set on fire when he was confronted by Joseph Rosenbaum, the first man Rittenhouse killed. Evidence showed that Rosenbaum was aggressive and lunged for Rittenhouse’s rifle while cursing him. Rittenhouse testified that he feared that Rosenbaum would seize the rifle and shoot him. The jury found this fear to be reasonable and this may be a fair interpretation of the current law of self-defense in Wisconsin.
But that is precisely the problem. No one actually knows what Rosenbaum intended. Rittenhouse admitted that he pointed his rifle at him. Rosenbaum might have intended simply to disarm a dangerous man.
The acquittal means that the person holding the gun gets to decide who lives and who dies.
You can see where this interpretation of self-defense can lead in the trial of the three men who were convicted of killing Ahmaud Arbery, an unarmed black jogger running through a suburb of Brunswick, Georgia. One of the men charged, Travis McMichael, said that Arbery lunged for his gun.
McMichael was convicted of malice murder, so this defense failed. But George Barnhill, the second prosecutor in the case, who later recused himself, refused to prosecute on just this basis: “at the point Arbery grabbed the shotgun, under Georgia Law, [Travis] McMichael was allowed to use deadly force to protect himself.”
John Wayne would not have shot a man he knew was unarmed, as Rittenhouse did. The Duke would have defended himself against non-lethal force by the use of his fists.
After Rittenhouse killed Rosenbaum, he made a phone call to a friend saying that he had just killed someone. He did not seek medical attention for the man on the ground. He did not call the police. Instead, he continued his armed patrolling.
Anthony Huber, the second man killed, considered Rittenhouse to be dangerous. Huber’s girlfriend said in an interview that Huber rushed Rittenhouse to protect her and others nearby. Huber struck Rittenhouse with a skateboard he always carried and reached for Rittenhouse’s rifle. That is when Rittenhouse shot him once, fatally wounding him.
Clearly, Huber was not trying to shoot Rittenhouse, but to disarm him. As the events of that night demonstrated, he was not wrong to fear that Rittenhouse was irresponsibly dangerous. Huber’s courage cost him his life.
John Wayne would not have fired his weapon at Huber, just as John Wayne would have led the police to Rosenbaum’s body.
Ironically, there was someone in Kenosha that night who embodied the grace and restraint of John Wayne—Gaige Grosskreutz, the man Rittenhouse wounded after killing Huber.
Grosskreutz, who was at the protest to provide medical care, and who was carrying a handgun, was told that Rittenhouse had shot someone and was trying to get away. He saw Rittenhouse fire at Huber and moved directly toward him with his own gun visible. He and Rittenhouse confronted each other. Grosskreutz did not fire. Rittenhouse did.
Rittenhouse did not hesitate to shoot, did not assess the situation, did not act like an adult who understood the responsibility of possessing a firearm.
And then, this KR murderer gets to go to the Semen Drip Trump’s Pedophile Mar-a-Lago?

“I say to the African-American community and to the Hispanic community, what the hell do you have to lose? I will fix it. We will make them good. We will make them safe. We will bring back jobs. We will create good, good schools and education. I will fix it,” Trump said.
Trump has previously faced criticism from African-American leaders and Democratic officials for his description of African-American life as one of utter poverty, which does not match the reality of the lives of most African-Americans, and for equating “inner city” life with the lives of minority citizens. Trump has also issued his pitch to black voters while addressing predominantly white audiences, though he has made three forays into predominantly black churches in Michigan and Ohio.
During one of those stops, at a church in Flint, Michigan, he was heckled and the church’s black pastor also cut him off as he launched into a political speech attacking his opponent Hillary Clinton.
His support among African-American voters remains in the single digits.

There’s no escape from Trump’s “extraordinary ability to dominate the discourse”, globally, as well as his capacity for “bending people to his will” – and thus wreak havoc on the geopolitical chessboard.
Alastair stresses how Trump is skillfully “using mythic imagery” – actually crude archetypes – to always impress his (italics mine) narrative. The only narrative.

Here we go, another Substack, but a good one:
In my interview with Jacob, we discuss the rapidly expanding GovTech infrastructure that the global elite has been developing over the last years to lay the foundation required to transform traditional governments into globally controlled “Agentic States.”
These Agentic States represent a fundamental departure from conventional systems of governance. According to plans proposed by the UN and World Economic Forum, states are expected to evolve into AI-driven systems, standardized across nations, that operate with minimal to no human involvement in decision making and policy formation.
Luukas Ilves writes in the GGTC’s white paper: “The rise of agentic AI will have a particularly profound impact on government and public services… Previous rounds of digital transformation have altered the medium by government functions… but have not altered the fundamental organisational structure or business model of government.
And he continues: “This time will be different. Agentic AI’s software will be capable of ‘eating’ the core functions of government. The Agentic State… marks a shift in the nature of government.”
Ukraine, man, Ukraine:
The Agentic State: How Agentic AI Will Revamp 10 Functional Layers of Government”, the document was initially published by the GGCT in May of 2025. Its lead author, Luukas Ilves, formerly served as Chief Information Officer for the Estonian government and now advises Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation.
Of course, my Substack, maybe a new one before Bari Weiss and Substack cuts me off, will be the Jew Patrol. Remember that other weird TV Show? Rat Patrol!!!
Jews, man, commenting on the murderer Kyle and parallels with Israel. Fuck rats.
How does all this relate to Israel? The answer has to do with the role of news media, politicians, and social commentators. This collection of societal influencers can be called the Chorus.
There is a striking parallel between the roles played by the Chorus in both the Rittenhouse case and that of Israel.
The Chorus has claimed that Rittenhouse had no right to be where he was the night of the events. Although he lived only 20 minutes from the scene of the riots, his home was in another state. The Chorus was unimpressed that his father lived in Kenosha. The anti-Israel Chorus levels a similar charge: Jews have no right to be in “Palestine.” They are unimpressed that Jewish forefathers lived there.
Both Rittenhouse and Israel faced violent and unprovoked attacks.
The Chorus blames both Rittenhouse and Israel for attacking in self-defense.
The Chorus has demonized both Rittenhouse and Israel for its own purposes. In both cases, the media falsely adopted a narrative that the victim was the aggressor. This served the purpose of satisfying their base and lending moral legitimacy to their good guy-bad guy narrative.
Both cases exemplify a dishonest media that misreports events and motives. Some media reported that Rittenhouse came to Kenosha to hunt people down. Some international media report that Jews deliberately forced out an entire people to make way for a Jewish state. The Kenosha Chorus and the international media both impugn the motives of the actors they dislike. In Kenosha, the media suggested that Rittenhouse was a “right-winger” and a racist, out to get the rioters. Israelis are similarly castigated as racists who hate Arabs.
In both cases the Chorus blames the true victim for arming himself—-this, despite the overwhelming danger presented by violent elements. The Chorus does not believe that the true victims here—-Rittenhouse and Israel—-were in danger of attack. According to the Chorus, the fact that they have armed themselves is proof of their culpability.
The bias of the Chorus is evident in the way it characterizes the parties it dislikes. It assigns to them those characteristics that are most despised by their reference group.
For the radical left, the worst thing a person can be is a white nationalist. So for them Rittenhouse became a white nationalist.
The anti-Israel Chorus levels the same charge against Israelis. In the case of Israel this is a particular distortion of the facts: over half of Israelis and their forbearers came to Israel from Arab countries, and thus are not exactly white. And while Israelis generally are proud of their country, many of Israel’s pioneers were victims of European nationalism. Unlike nationalist states, Israel guarantees the rights of all its citizens, irrespective of the origins of their forebears.
In both the Rittenhouse and Israel cases, the rhetoric of the Chorus is often deranged. It is irrational to believe that a 17 year old kid with decent motives, or a country founded on democratic ideals, is uniquely evil. Yet that is what the Chorus says.
In July 2020, just under a month into his tenure as George Mason University’s president, Gregory Washington sought to position the university as a national model of diversity and inclusion in higher education.
He established an Anti-Racism and Inclusive Excellence task force, and by that November, convened its members and other administrators in a virtual forum where they spoke about the university’s goal to increase faculty diversity.
He’s a hero, man, and Racist Semen Drip Trump is going after them all: In 2022, the board approved “Mason Is All Together Different,” a five-year plan that outlined the university’s goals to increase “faculty and staff demographics that mirror student demographics.” (The Chronicle’s publisher, who does not have a role in journalistic decisions, served on the George Mason board from 2019 to 2023.)
“Our practices and initiatives, including some being questioned by the DOJ, emanated from this framework,” Washington said in a statement responding to the Department of Justice investigation. “They were developed in collaboration with our Board of Visitors, and through shared governance with our students, faculty, and staff. It has never been a ‘one man show’ at Mason.”

Trump signed a radical and openly fascistExecutive Order that would back his regime with military force, including the use of “volunteer” private militia’s and vigilante’s (read the Executive Order).
They buried it, but at least managed to report that: (NY Times story)
The order also directs a task force in Washington led by a White House adviser, Stephen Miller, to create an online portal for “Americans with law enforcement or other relevant backgrounds and experience” to apply to join federal agents in enforcing Mr. Trump’s “crime emergency” order in the District of Columbia.
The Order is nationwide in scope and will be used to invade, suppress, and harass many other cities, as Trump has threatened (not “mused” or “hedged” as NY Times downplays):
Mr. Trump has mused openly about expanding the deployments to other cities, particularly Democratic strongholds like New York, Chicago and Baltimore, saying crime there is out of control. On Monday, Mr. Trump said he could “solve” crime in Chicago in a week, though he hedged about whether he planned to move ahead with sending troops there.
Here’s the text of the Order:
Each law enforcement agency that is a member of the D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force, as well as other relevant components of the Department of Justice as the Attorney General determines, shall further, subject to the availability of appropriations and applicable law, immediately create and begin training, manning, hiring, and equipping a specialized unit that is dedicated to ensuring public safety and order in the Nation’s capital that can be deployed whenever the circumstances necessitate, and that could be deployed, subject to applicable law, in other cities where public safety and order has been lost.
Repeat: the military units “could be deployed, subject to applicable law, in other cities where public safety and order has been lost.”

Strauss-Kahn, a friend of Lévy’s, has been repeatedly accused of sexual misconduct. In 2011, New York prosecutors charged him with the sexual assault of a maid at a Manhattan hotel; the charges were dropped, but not before Lévy published a piece defending Strauss-Kahn, in which he questioned why a maid would have gone into Strauss-Kahn’s hotel room alone, and claimed that his friend had been “thrown to the dogs.”.

Mark Monmonier, a Syracuse University professor of geography, said the Mercator projection is obsolete and geographers have long advised people to not use it as a world map.
“It was a useful navigation tool in the 16th century, because it has straight lines, giving navigators a line of constant direction to sail along,” Monmonier said. “But outside of that very narrow navigation application, there is no point in using it.”
While maps following the curvature of the earth, like the Equal Earth projection, offer a more accurate scale of the true sizes of the continents, he nonetheless warned that bar graphs remain the best way to compare the sizes of different continents.
And so it goes:
Spending the people’s coffer on offensive weapons:
India on Saturday proposed defence spending of 6.81 trillion rupees ($78.70 billion) for the 2025-26 fiscal year, up 9.5% from the previous year’s initial estimates, with most eaten up by wages and pensions rather than acquiring new weapons.
The 4.7 trillion rupees the budget allocated for manpower costs dwarfed its proposed capital outlay of 1.80 trillion rupees, focused on modernisation and defence procurement.
Inaugurating the 11th edition of DefExpo, the prime minister said the focus on boosting military might is not aimed at any country and asserted that India has always been a reliable partner of peace and stability in the region and beyond.
The five-day DefExpo — India’s biennial exhibition of military platforms and weapons—is being attended by 38 defence ministers and top executives of 172 foreign defence majors and 856 Indian companies.
Talking about the neighbourhood, Modi said India not only focuses on its own security but also considers it a responsibility to help countries in the region deal with key challenges and ensure regional peace and development.
The prime minister said lack of proper policy initiatives in the last several decades has made India the biggest importer of defence platforms. His government, he added, has taken a series of policy initiatives, ridding the acquisition system of silos to cut the country’s dependence on foreign acquisitions and promote domestic production.

That test — which includes questions related to “undoing the damage of gender ideology” — was developed by Prager University, a right-wing, pro-capitalist propaganda machine that aspires to become a force in American education.
Now after investing in expensive extracurriculars with Donald Trump and Big Tech, the operation is poised to fill the Sesame Street–sized supplemental-education hole left by the recent defunding of the Public Broadcasting Service.
Founded by conservative radio host Dennis Prager …
[ Dennis Prager was born in Brooklyn to Hilda (née Friedfeld; 1919–2009) and Max Prager (1918–2014), the latter the son of Polish Jewish immigrants. Prager and his brother, Kenneth Prager, were raised in a Modern Orthodox Jewish home. He attended the Yeshiva of Flatbush in Brooklyn, New York, where he befriended Joseph Telushkin.]
. . . in 2009, Prager University (notably not an actual university) is known for its inflammatory and misleading viral videos that it has long created for teens and adults. But in 2021, the nonprofit launched a kids vertical, designing political and historical content aimed at children. The operation has since gained educational footholds in ten states, where teachers now show students PragerU videos, despite its not being an accredited academic institution.
Jews: Zelenskyy says wants Ukraine to become a ‘big Israel’
Zelenskyy also said that Ukraine would not be “absolutely liberal, European”; that it would have to undertake a different modus operandi.
“Ukraine will definitely not be what we wanted it to be from the beginning. It is impossible,” he told members of the Ukrainian media during a briefing.
“Absolutely liberal, European – it will not be like that. It [Ukraine] will definitely come from the strength of every house, every building, every person.”
This then sets the scene, following the usual venemous drivel from Senator Lyndsey Graham for a Trumpian return to tariff and sanctions threats that have all the potential for intimidation as a bluebottle fly in your bathroom.
Of much greater importance is growing evidence of long-range missile supply from NATO countries to Ukraine, or support for the building of such on Ukrainian territory – some of it already destroyed by Russian missiles – and the apparent growing successes of Ukrainian drones and missiles, some likely fired from Finland and/or the Balkans – on Russian oil and refinery facilities which some reliable sources are saying are having a significant impact on Russian oil supplies and prices within Russia itself and possibly on the international market, even as India is facing steep US-imposed punitive tariffs in retaliation for its continuing dependence on Russian supplies (some of which, I suspect, are now being routed through Chinese shipping). Also impacted are the European “dissident” states of Hungary and Slovakia. None of this has quite reached a level of existential importance but there is a whiff of this in the air. It moves in the direction not of a Russian climbdown, but of a Russian resort to missile strikes (even Oreshnik or nuclear) on Ukraine’s European ennablers.
The hardening on the Ukraine fronts (where Russia is mainly winning – despite some Ukrainian counteroffensive successes in recent weeks – most notably in Zapporizhzhia, Kupyansk, Kosiantynivka, and Pakrovsk, while also making advances on Lyman and Siversk – is coinciding with a build-up towards more confrontation between Israel/US and Iran, with both sides now anticipating recommencement of hostilities in September, preceded, as we have seen over the past day, by a concerted Israeli attack on the Yemeni capital in a bid to put an end to Yemeni control over Red Sea trade and its diminishment of Israeli ports.
So we have an increasing reddening glow in the embers of the ever-smoldering bonfire of World War Three potentiality. There are parallel significations from Taiwan, but here I will just note increasing dependence of Iran on the supply of air defense and fighter jet capabilities from China which is a major client for Iranian oil while potentially subject to US sanctions that will further advise China to shut off all supply of rare earths to the US. — Gathering Escalation, Oliver Boyd-Barrett

Jews: Palestinian Boys Allege Sexual Assault, Torture by Israeli Jailers
Palestinian teenagers kidnapped and imprisoned by Israeli occupation forces during the genocidal war on Gaza accused their jailers of torturing and sexually assaulting them in a report published Saturday by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
“They took me from the aid distribution site and transferred me to a hospital in Rafah, where I was interrogated for an hour,” one 16-year-old boy identified by his first name Sami, who was abducted on June 29, toldABC. “They stripped me and conducted a body search. Then, they loaded me into a jeep and transported me to a prison in Israel.”
“During the interrogations, they tortured us—handcuffing us, beating us with sticks, and using electric shocks,” the teen continued. “They did countless things to break us” (continue reading here).

Jews Killing Africa Stream: Zyklon Blinken!
In the 1930s, at the peak of Jim Crow in the U.S. and Apartheid/settler-colonialism in Africa, the U.S. government claimed that the rise of transatlantic Pan Africanist thinking and political movements was the result of Russian propaganda aimed at provoking a “world Negro rising.”

Sadism 101! And this one has a Hispanic last name?
A more than 30-year resident of Columbus, a border town of around 1,300 people, González likes the Republican president, who has come to be known for his hard-line immigration policies. Immigrants deserve criticism for not fixing their legal status, she said. “ Everything that happens to us is our fault,” she added.
The port of entry to Palomas — one of three border crossings in New Mexico — is quiet compared to the much-busier Santa Teresa crossing an hour’s drive east. While there are a few miles of desert from the port of entry to Columbus, Palomas sits directly on the border, its school buildings dwarfed by the 30-foot-tall wall constructed during the coronavirus pandemic.
A few street vendors wheeled carts selling hats and street food on that late June day. Americans wearing tropical attire sipped margaritas in one of the few tourist establishments, the Pink Store, a kitschy restaurant and emporium showcasing artisanal crafts from throughout Mexico.
The main attraction for U.S. tourists, though, are the Mexican optometry and dentistry clinics and pharmacies that line the first few blocks along the border and main street. Beyond that, Puerto Palomas grows into mostly dilapidated residential blocks and unpaved roads.
A few blocks down Palomas’ main street, a human-sized replica of the Statue of Liberty overlooks the Mexican pedestrians from atop a building that holds a bar. González, who owns the building, placed the statue there “because I’m an American,” she said, laughing, adding she prefers the vivaciousness of Palomas streets to the U.S., where “you go home and watch TV.”
Another statue stands in the bare and colorful plaza outside the Pink Store: a bronze depiction of Pancho Villa shaking hands with U.S. Army Gen. John Pershing — a depiction of cross-border friendship that never happened.
[They have the same LaLaLandia Lie statue in El Paso, both my stomping grounds]
The two men never met. Though Pershing tried.
After Villa led a 1916 raid from Palomas across the border to Columbus, leaving roughly 17 Americans and at least 70 Mexicans dead, Pershing led a 10,000-troop military operation in pursuit of Villa, which after almost a year proved unsuccessful.
Francisco “Pancho” Villa, a Mexican revolutionary whose fondness for crossed bandoliers inspired years of south-of-the-border caricatures, died in a hail of gunfire in 1923. Protective of his image — his reported last words were, “Don’t let it end this way; tell them I said something important!” — Villa even played himself in a few D.W. Griffith-produced silent films. To this day his mustachioed likeness can be found on murals across Mexico.
When icons unnaturally perish, they’re sometimes remembered with posthumous souvenirs. Crucifixion relics, stakes from Joan of Arc’s bonfire, pill bottles from celebrity ODs, all are collectible. Villa, who was both famous and infamous, reportedly had his corpse dug up and dismembered. Some of the pieces went to Americans, perhaps as spoils of war (He had, after all, invaded the U.S. in 1916). Villa’s head is supposedly displayed at Skull and Bones, the notorious secret society of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut.
Pancho Villa’s index finger was bent from years of gunfights.
For those of us not as well-connected, a more visible Villa option is available at Dave’s Pawn Shop in El Paso, Texas. Displayed in the storefront window, nestled in a reliquary bed of fluffy cotton among abandoned class rings and silver dollars, is Pancho Villa’s withered, blackened trigger finger.
“It’s been there longer than I’ve been around, and I’m 38,” said Clay Baron, grandson of Dave and current manager of the shop, which has been owned by the family since 1950. Whoever pawned the finger has been long forgotten, but may have come from Mexico, whose border is only a few blocks away.
The shriveled digit, smaller than you might expect, is crooked — as if Pancho was about to fire his six-shooter in his last, desperate moments. “It gets a lot of attention,” said Clay, who judged the grisly memento to be “more celebrated than reviled” to Texans. One of the Pawn Shop’s proudest possessions is a snapshot of First Lady Laura Bush, peering in the window at the finger.
Its price tag — $9,500 — seems more obligatory than serious. Would the Pawn Shop really sell the finger, even if someone walked in with the cash? Clay was coyly noncommittal. “There might be some tears,” he said, but we hope that he would find an excuse not to sell what has become an unofficial icon of El Paso — and the defining property of Dave’s Pawn Shop.

There, scientists have discovered hundreds of vast sand mounds, some on the scale of several kilometers across, that, according to a release from the University of Manchester in the UK, “defy fundamental geological principles”.
These mounds pile atop structures known as sinkites, the result of a process called stratigraphic inversion, and never before have they been found in such large numbers.
“This discovery reveals a geological process we haven’t seen before on this scale,” says geophysicist Mads Huuse of the University of Manchester.
“What we’ve found are structures where dense sand has sunk into lighter sediments that floated to the top of the sand, effectively flipping the conventional layers we’d expect to see and creating huge mounds beneath the sea.”

It’s not California’s to call their any way: The Iipay Nation of Santa Ysabel recently reacquired more than 1,000 acres of its ancestral land in San Diego County, the tribe announced Tuesday.
“There’s just a bunch of beautiful nature there, which is just so exciting to see get back into tribal ownership and care,” Geneva E. B. Thompson, deputy secretary for tribal affairs at the California Natural Resources Agency, told SFGATE by phone. The acquisition was funded by the agency’s Tribal Nature-Based Solutions program, which allocated $100 million to placing land back into indigenous stewardship via partnerships with various tribes across the state.
The Iipay Nation plans to open a cultural and educational center on the property called the Ewiinally Traditional Ecological Knowledge Center, the tribe wrote. The public will be able to visit the center along with other portions of the property, Thompson said. Hiking trails and campgrounds may also one day open on the land.

The Trump Administration Dismisses the Endangered Species List as ‘Hotel California.’ But There’s Far More to the Story
A small percentage of species protected by the law have ever recovered, but an even smaller fraction have gone extinct. With all the threats they face, including long-shrinking federal support, that’s an achievement, scientists note.
White Psychosis and Double Speak:
“The Endangered Species List has become like the Hotel California: once a species enters, they never leave,” Burgum wrote in an April post on X. He’s referring to the roster of more than 1,600 species of imperiled plants and animals that receive protections from the federal government under the Endangered Species Act to prevent their extinctions. “In fact, 97 percent of species that are added to the endangered list remain there. This is because the status quo is focused on regulation more than innovation.”

A company that produces maps for hunters and hikers has partnered with a conservation nonprofit to create a map of Bureau of Land Management-managed parcels in the West that appear to be at risk of sale or “disposal,” including numerous parcels in Southern Idaho. The Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership and onX published the data in early August. It highlights around 6 million acres of public land in 17 states that has been flagged as eligible for sale or disposal — a designation that doesn’t necessarily mean the land will be sold.
The Idaho parcels identified on the map have been flagged for potential sale for varying durations. Many of the parcels in the Boise area are attributed to a resource management plan for the Bureau of Land Management’s Four Rivers Field Office that was approved just last year. Others include management plans for the Owyhees and Challis issued in 1999, a plan for the Jarbidge area near Twin Falls dating to 2015 and the 1985 Medicine Lodge plan for parcels near the Wyoming border.

Evan was on my show, Finding Fringe, KYAQ FM 91.7 Listen to him and his enthusiasm for restoring wetlands, man. Right Down To The Riparian Dirty and Mud and Roots.
I did this piece for my gig at Oregon Coast Today, Deep Dive with Paul Haeder. Reprinted here on Dissident Voice, and in LA Progressive:
“Wetlands are actually unsung heroes. They nurture young fish, provide refuge to birds, bats, bugs, and sometimes to big mammals like panthers and bears. Mangroves, for instance, are trees and shrubs that inhabit coastal swamps, and they form peat that is home to clams, snails, crabs, and shrimp, and filter pollution out of the water. Their “interlaced roots protect tiny fish from ravenous jaws of larger fish, and even manatees and dolphins take refuge there.”
— Annie Proulx
Seeing a pair of bald eagles, a possum and a black bear just minutes into my trip to an interview is, to say the least, icing on the “Eco Cake.”
Especially now, with so many people in various stages of isolation and paranoia — restricting time outdoors has a double-whammy effect on our mental health, but also on the health of a community who expects in-person participation and face-to-face debate.
Virtual bird watching and online hikes just don’t cut it.
My assignment is to catch a 30-something scientist — coordinator of a non-profit — doing what he loves best: hands-on, in-the-field work, coordinating with landowners on projects to restore river refugia.
I met Evan Hayduk, 35, with Mid-Coast Watershed Council when I first moved to the coast from Portland. That was Jan 2019 at Oregon Coast Community College for a dual presentation as part of the Williams Lecture series.
“Shedding a Scientific and Humanitarian Light on Climate Change” was a one-two punch featuring Hayduk alongside Bill Kucha, well known artist and founder the 350 Oregon Central Coast.
That night unfolded as a contrast in personalities, age and emphases. Kucha is a 70-plus-year-old two-and three-dimensional artist who also composes and performs his music, guitar in hand. Hayduk opened up the talk with a detailed PowerPoint that emphasized the power of natural tidelands/wetlands to not only purify water for species like salmon, but also as natural mitigation for carbon dioxide absorption from fossil fuel burning.
Tidal wetlands are important habitats for salmon and a diversity of other fish and wildlife species. They also trap sediment, buffer coastal communities from flooding and erosion and perform other valued ecosystem services. — Hayduk
This is a story about a man, about his passion, about his vision to see a better world through several lenses, not exclusively through biology.
The first personality to greet me on the private land near Lobster Creek was Hayduk’s loyal two-year-old Australian shepherd, appropriately named, “Tahoma.”
“The original name for Mount Rainer,” Hayduk emphasizes. In fact, “Tahoma” is the Puyallup word for “Supreme Mountain,” and according to others, Tahoma translates to “the breast of the milk-white waters.” Or as Hayduk has heard, Mother Mountain.
Before his gig here with Mid-Coast Watershed Council (MCWC) starting 2016, Hayduk worked on Tahoma (Mount Rainier National Park) running the restoration crew at its native plant nursery.
Today, we are on one of four adjoining 40-acre chunks whose landowners have granted Hayduk and MCWC access to flood plain habitat and Little Lobster creek to “help restore once was a healthy complex riparian ecosystem.”
All water flows downstream
When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe. — John Muir
While the Alsea River is the mainstem of salmon runs, tributaries like Lobster Creek play a crucial role in salmon health. We are in an area known as Five Rivers, 25 miles east of Waldport. Alder, Cougar, Buck, Crab and Cherry creeks make up those five tributaries.
Within the Alsea Basin, the Lobster/Five Rivers watershed provides an important contribution to the populations of native fish. However, water quality problems, relating to stream temperature, have been documented in several sub-watersheds and along the main stems of both Lobster Creak and Five Rivers. The level of disturbance in the watershed has contributed to the degradation of quality habitat. [So states a 227-page scientific paper, from the Bureau of Land Management, “Lobster/Five Rivers Watershed Analysis.]
Hayduk is “eyes, ears and feet/hands on the ground” coordinator of this project. The day I show up, he has 164 home-propagated lupines and a couple of dozen Camus bulb starts. Zach and Casey from Lincoln Soil and Water Conservation District (LSWCD) soon arrive as part of their regular brush-clearing duties to fight back the canary grass and Himalayan blackberry bushes, both pernicious invasive species in our ecosystem.
They have an auguring machine to dig holes for all these pollinating plants Hayduk and his wife, Jen, grew in their Waldport home garden. Jen is the interim director of LSWCD.
Team players
The husband-wife team met in 2008 when they both worked for a backcountry conservation crew near Port Angeles. She’s from Pennsylvania, and Hayduk grew up in Woodinville (near Seattle) with his two older sisters and parents.
My dad was a general contractor in Seattle. My family had 1.5 acres and turned it into a formal English garden, so I spent a lot of time with plants.
He tells me he always knew he’d be working with plants as he got older. He did an undergraduate degree at Santa Clara University. He graduated from the Evergreen State College in 2012 with a master’s in Environmental Studies. One of his more unique programming experiences as a student was contributing to the Sustainability in Prisons Project (SPP) in school in Olympia.
I gravitate toward the prison work he did more than eight years ago. On SPP’s website, the goal is clear: “SPP brings together incarcerated individuals, scientists, corrections staff, students, and program partners to promote education, conserve biodiversity, practice sustainability, and help build healthy communities. Together, we reduce the environmental, economic, and human costs of prisons.”
Hayduk’s work now is all about conservation, restoration and replicating the natural systems that contribute to streambeds and streambanks gaining structures that make them prime refuge for young salmon and other species to blend into a natural ecological community, or web.
Stream Fish, Flora
Now there are some things in the world we can’t change — gravity, entropy, the speed of light, the first and second Laws of Thermodynamics, and our biological nature that requires clean air, clean water, clean soil, clean energy and biodiversity for our health and wellbeing. Protecting the biosphere should be our highest priority or else we sicken and die. Other things, like capitalism, free enterprise, the economy, currency, the market, are not forces of nature, we invented them. They are not immutable and we can change them. It makes no sense to elevate economics above the biosphere, for example.
–– Canadian scientist and TV series producer David Suzuki
It goes without saying rehabilitating an ecosystem like a Coastal Range temperate forest is much more complicated (and complex) than sending a projectile into space.
Evan Hayduk is one of these “forest triage experts” — he sees what 150 years of headstrong resource exploitation, unchecked razing of ecosystems and overharvesting have done and how difficult it is to put it all back together.
I met up with him on the land where he is rehabilitating riparian and river systems. This article was precipitated by my interest in Hayduk’s association with Mid-Coast Watersheds Council, most notably the monthly guest speaker series, “From Ridgetop to Reef.”
He also has just received an impressive laurel: American Fisheries Society’s 2020 Rising Star Award. This is a recognition of Hayduk’s work as someone early in his career through a partnership with NOAA and the National Fish Habitat Partnership:
“Hayduk was recognized for the quantity and quality of his restoration projects and his cooperative work with agencies and landowners.”
He sent me the entire package — the award, the letters of recommendation, projects he has worked on, his college transcripts. As I’ve learned in the Deep Dive column reporting/writing, we have some real gems on the coast. Hayduk could be a superstar in a larger non-profit and in a bigger demographic.
His job with MCWC — promoting freshwater and coastal fish conservation — is one-part grant writer, one-part field expert, one-part people manager, one-part public engagement/relationships impresario. He told me that he goes to landowners with those streams, creeks and rivers run through their properties in order to find ways to encourage stream health and restoration mitigation.
My time with him in early June focused on the process of dropping 60-foot trees into streams, crisscross fashion. This might seem counterintuitive as a best practice for stream health, but in fact, it’s a dynamic natural way to rebuild stream beds and create a functioning healthy floodplain and wetlands cohesion.
He tells me this replication of an ecosystem’s natural hydrodynamic process creates these weirs and in-stream structures that “spread the creek out,” keeping gravel beds intact all the while connecting cold water refugia to the floodplain.
The most challenging aspect of these projects comes down to humans.
“We need to work with land owners,” he tells me. “I sort of see myself as the glue between everybody.”
He shows me this riparian floodplain near the Upper Little Lobster Creek where he and his crew of volunteers have planted conifers, including cedars, and other plants to help revitalize the power of those trees to hold in soil. When the deciduous alders age out (around 60 years), they have a tendency to fall. Conifers live longer and they too will fall and act as natural “damming structures” to replicate what a natural stream should be: a haven for salmon and other aquatic species.
I study all these saplings growing inside “cages” that protect their early growth from deer.
Wood Wide Web
“The wood wide web has been mapped, traced, monitored, and coaxed to reveal the beautiful structures and finely adapted languages of the forest network. We have learned that mother trees recognize and talk with their kin, shaping future generations. In addition, injured trespass their legacies on to their neighbors, affecting gene regulation, defense chemistry, and resilience in the forest community. These discoveries have transformed our understanding of trees from competitive crusaders of the self to members of a connected, relating, communicating system. Ours is not the only lab making these discoveries-there is a burst of careful scientific research occurring worldwide that is uncovering all manner of ways that trees communicate with each other above and below ground.” — Peter Wohlleben, “The Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, How They Communicate — Discoveries from a Secret World”
The connection between healthy rivers, functioning floodplains, and healthy fish, Evan emphasizes while putting planting riverbank lupine (Lupinus rivularis) in clusters of four, is trees. I learned much of these interlinked processes while teaching and living in Spokane, working on issues around the Spokane River, a highly urbanized and suburbanized river. Those forested watersheds have much higher water quality. Trees also provide a wide variety of ecological services.
Hayduk sources logs from many places, including Georgia Pacific other for-profit outfits, land owners and from projects on BLM, State and National Forest lands.
While the tree canopy lessens the erosive impact of rain and slows the velocity of stormwater flowing towards the river, trees trap sediments that build the floodplain while the roots stabilize the riverbanks.
I jump into some “ponding” water just below one of the crisscross tree structures Evan and his volunteers had dropped into this moving water refugia, Little Lobster Creek. I was presented with nice stretches of fine sand and cul-de-sacs of great pebble beds, perfect habitat for salmon redds. Hayduk showed me fresh water mussels. Crayfish were scrambling in the shallows piercing the shadows underwater.
Hayduk emphasized that there are some healthy stream systems in our area where past disruptive logging practices and snag clearing have not been so impactful and permanent. However, the cost for this sort of project Hayduk is heading up tallies to $28,000 per acre, with invasive species, brush clearing and salvage log/wood placement as the large chunk of the bill.
The tree species that best work for the log weirs and dams are conifers, like Doug firs and cedar, that latter species having the added benefit of not rotting for decades while submerged.
It’s a no-brainer trees also provide shade for maintaining water temperature. To carry the analogy to the end point, we see fallen leaves, limbs and branches support food webs by providing food and habitat for insects that are food for fish, Hayduk states. Clean, cool water with more food equals bigger fish.
Nuances like growing alders on the flood plain or marsh plain encourages other species of trees to grow on the decaying fallen alder.
Looking at the ecosystem from a centuries-versus-a-few-decades perspective is important in understanding what Evan and others of his ilk are attempting. “Big conifers that fall help with grade control. Water tables rise. Conifers in the riparian areas can grow from 100 to 200 years before they fall into the creek.”
This concept of a “messy” stream refugia as being the most healthful for all species is anathema to the way most humans have thought about rivers. Scientists like Hayduk know fish get through any of the hurdles a natural stream environment presents them — even with huge logs and entire trees with root balls integrated into the water flow.
Big enough wood simulating log jams buy time to get refugia back to an interconnected vibrancy. Thus far, in this area, 28 structures have been laid on 2.4 miles of stream, Hayduk stated.
Fragility in a huge forest
He shows me areas where logging trucks came in and now the stream is bare of trees and also where channel incision had “down cut” incisions into the bedrock, not a healthy Coho or chinook refuge.
Again, this is a fragile complex system Hayduk and his cohorts work on. The floodplain is many yards beyond the actual stream channel. So, a 30-foot creek flood flow necessitates a 60-foot log or fallen tree.
The connection between fish, trees and rivers is now poised emerging in our urban areas as sound ecology and ecosystem management. Many cities, large and small, are recognizing the benefits of reestablishing the physical and emotional linkage between river, trees and the human community. For instance, San Antonio has its iconic River Walk, Chicago has just completed its riverfront, Washington DC has its Southwest Waterfront neighborhood, and Pittsburgh has reconnected neighborhoods to its three rivers via a network of urban trails.
We talk about the high turnover rate for positions like his own, as well as his wife’s at the Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District.
His wife Jen knows the connection of little things put back into an ecosystem having global ramifications. She obtained her master’s degree at OSU in marine resource management.
Back to the glossary: Jen Hayduk could explain the power of blue carbon, which is elegantly illustrated by this marine plant species she was studying — seagrass (Zostera marina). These seagrass habitats provide important “ecosystem services,” including their ability to take up and store substantial amounts of organic carbon, known as “blue carbon.”
Again, the couple not only understands the fragility of homo sapiens as an individual species in a time of COVID-19, but how the cultural and economic activities can so easily be disrupted.
No more volunteers out in the field, Hayduk tells me, and many projects are on hold and grants stalled/delayed because of the lockdown.
The lack of human traffic might be temporarily beneficial to such threatened species as the Northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina), marbled murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus) and Oregon spotted frog (Rana pretiosa), but Evan Hayduk would rather spend time in the field with people throwing in to help him with his work with river and wetlands restoration.
His background in human rehabilitation through ecological health started with people locked out of society, in tiny prison cells.
“The effects of nature on incarcerated individuals is powerful,” Hayduk tells me. His mentor was Nalini Nadkarni, Ph.D., Founder of the Sustainability in Prisons Project. “Prisoners spend limited time outside. But the program demonstrated they are good with plant stuff. It’s a powerful therapeutic tool, working with the Oregon spotted frog raising them from tadpoles all the way to adult frogs and releasing them into the wild.”
For individuals like Hayduk, “the cure” is being outside, working with/within nature, and with people (Homo sapiens), who are also part of the ecosystems, whether we recognize it or not.
Right now, Jen and Evan are tending a huge Waldport home garden, pickled goodies like carrots, tomatoes and cucumbers. Jen has even gotten into exotic plant growing, selling one of her “children” on etsy.com for a pretty penny.
They are self-sufficient, well-traveled, share visions and know how to grow food. Traits we all might need when the you know what tied to global warming hits the fan.
Q&A: Evan Hayduk Style
Hayduk is a busy fellow, having put in 63-hour work weeks and rushing to harvest tons of garden produce and preserving them, an undertaking he and his wife Jen have been doing for several weeks. Still, though, Hayduk put down some compelling responses to my intrusive queries.
Paul: What are the three things you suggest citizens can do to help folks like you and nonprofits like MCWC do what you have to do to protect salmon habitat/refugia?
Evan: A. Help and protect beaver on the landscape. This is #1. Beavers do a better job to create and maintain salmon habitat than we could ever hope to. Tolerate beavers if you live on a property that has a stream. There are beaver solutions that make it easier to “live with beaver.” Inform your neighbors about the importance of beaver and join efforts to stop trapping and killing of this ecosystem engineer.
B. Get involved! Volunteer your time helping at a MCWC event (when we bring them back after COVID-19). If you live on a river or stream clear invasive species and plant natives. Or give us a call and we can help.
C. Donate! Donations to the MCWC are tax deductible! They go directly to helping us get projects on the ground that protect and improve salmon habitat. For a non-profit like ours, just a little goes a long way.
Paul: Who are two of your biggest influences in this work, in your life?
Evan: I think I’ll separate that out into two categories life/work.
Life: My parents. I grew up observing an absolute model of love, hard work and kindness. My dad worked his way from a carpenter to owning his own construction company. This instilled a work ethic that I couldn’t shake even if I tried. I spent weekends growing up working in our 1.5-acre garden, working with my dad to turn bare land into formal English gardens. If I don’t put in a good amount of time in any given weekend now, I feel like my weekend was wasted.
Work: I’ve been lucky along the way to have some great mentors. I mentioned to you Nalini Nadkarni, who I worked with at Evergreen with the Sustainability in Prisons Project. Nalini is the most amazing person I have ever been around. Her energy is contagious, and when she is in a room there is an electricity that is undeniable.
During my time at MCWC, I also have had amazing support from some Oregon Coast legends. Before retiring in November 2018, Wayne Hoffman was an absolute encyclopedia of information. I could walk into his office, ask about any given creek on the midcoast, and Wayne could ramble on forever about the stream, current conditions, past projects, habitat potential, etc. Fran Recht and Paul Engelmeyer, who started the MCWC back in the late 1990s, are both dedicated stewards of the environment and have devoted their lives to the midcoast. My success at MCWC is due in large part to Wayne, Fran and Paul, and the rest of the active MCWC board and community.
Paul: If you were to present to a high school class, what would your elevator speech introduction be to them.
Evan: Salmon and people aren’t that different. We all need cool, clean water to survive. The actions we take to restore salmon habitat — replacing bad culverts, placing large wood in streams, planting native trees and shrubs — all do more than just restore salmon habitat. These actions restore the natural systems and processes that give us idyllic images of cold-water streams rushing through lush, green mountain terrain. We are focused on salmon, but the work we do touches everything that lives on the landscape — from birds, to bees, to you and to me!
Paul: Ocean forest range here and Olympics are some of the best places on earth to capture carbon. What makes your work out here so vital to that part of the picture?
Evan: Carbon storage is story of our lifetime. We have pumped so much carbon into the atmosphere that we have offset the balance of the system. Protecting and restoring old growth forests, sinks for carbon, is vital. Restoring salt and freshwater marshes and wetlands is also crucial. We can keep carbon locked up in estuary mud or in a 10-foot diameter cedar tree, but if these systems that support these processes are not protected and restored, we are headed down a bad path.
Paul: What are two of your most observable successes thus far in your work here?
Evan: In the last couple years we have tackled some very big projects, though any large wood placed in a stream, any tree planted, or invasive species removed is a success. By far the most observable success was the North Creek culvert project. This project was completed in 2019, restoring full aquatic organism passage to 13 stream miles of pristine habitat on US Forest Service managed lands in the Drift Creek (Siletz) basin. The undersized culvert, installed in 1958, not only blocked adult and juvenile salmon from accessing habitat upstream, but also ceased river processes and degraded habitat above and below the culvert site. The complex project in a remote location was difficult, and 60 years of “Band-Aid” solutions failed because they didn’t address the real problem: the culvert itself.
Paul: A “land ethic” by Aldo Leopold says a lot — riff with it, as in these two quotes:
“When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.”
“A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability, and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise.”
Evan: We as people often see ourselves as other, as separate from nature, but this couldn’t be more incorrect. We not only breathe the same air as all other beings on this earth, we have by every measure had a greater impact than any.
Paul: Again, if you as director got a $5 million check from nonprofit for your work, no strings attached, what would you use that for?
Evan: Well, a boy can dream, can’t he? I think acquisition of important habitat areas would be high on the list (other than just hiring other staff to help!). Though, giving a better wage and benefits package to our staff and work crew would be a no-brainer.
Paul: Give the young reader some spiel on why they might want to pursue a degree or degrees in the general field of environmental sciences tied to ecology during a time of COVID-19, dwindling budgets for these sorts of jobs and more and more tuition expenses.
Evan: I had a professor at Evergreen (Gerardo Chin-Leo) who liked to say one of my favorite expressions: “Science is the painful expression of the obvious”. He also liked to say “Ecology isn’t rocket science; it is way more complicated than that.” Everything in this world in inextricably connected, the clues are in the interactions of flora and fauna on the landscape. Uncovering these connections and understanding how the work we see today has evolved through millennia of interactions is incredibly enthralling (to me!). These times are hard (COVID), budgets are being slashed in this field, salaries in this line of work have never been great. However, the folks that choose this line of work have a greater calling. Understanding this complex world which we are a part of and working to restore ecosystems is more rewarding that any paycheck could ever be.
Paul: Wood wide web — In your own words, explain this concept, if you have any input around how this concept ties to what you are doing in the “preservation” field.
Evan: This gets at the complexity (it isn’t rocket science!) of the natural world. Above ground we see large trees, growing individually across the landscape. What we don’t see, is the complex system of roots, fungi and microbes below the soil that supports this vast forest. Tree talk to each other, conspire when drought is near, and share resources/nutrients through the fungal networks that have co-evolved with them over millennia. This is the original “community”, and our communities could get a lot of good out of better understanding how to work together towards a shared goal.
Paul: You are working in restorative ecology. Explain that.
Evan: We are working with a degraded landscape. We are also dealing with shifting baselines. Bad enough is the direct impact on habitat over the last 200 or so years, this has gone further to disrupt ecosystem processes that maintain what we think of as a functioning system. Restoring these processes is difficult, but if successful, process-based restoration can reset these systems to be self-sustaining. Though the impact can be quick, the restoration can take centuries. When we plant a tree for long-term recruitment of wood to a stream, it’s full impact won’t be felt for 100 or 200 years.
Paul: Then, you were working in a sort of restorative justice program at Evergreen tied to sustainability in prisons. Expand.
Evan: This is where I lean on the words of Nalini: the power of nature. Everyone who works with SPP sees the power of fresh air and getting your hands dirty. Working in a prison can be a dismal setting — windowless cells, limited outside time, fluorescent lights. This is not a restorative situation. There are major problems with the criminal justice system in this country, I don’t claim to be an expert on this. But I have seen the impact that building a greenhouse in a prison yard can bring. What the nurturing of a tiny plant from seed to flower can do for a person. We worked with prisoners to captive rear Taylor’s Checkerspot butterflies and Oregon spotted frogs in Washington. Watching these “hardened” criminals hand feed and raise these tiny creatures in a prison setting was restorative, for me, and for those individuals. The guys that raised the frogs made hats with “Cedar Creek (Prison) Frog Crew” printed on them, they wore them around the prison like badges of honor.
Paul: Where do you see yourself in 15 years? Location-wise, intellectually speaking, emotionally, and politically?
Evan: Oof. I’ve been so busy lately I’ve just been able to take it day by day. In 15 years, I’ll be 50. I have no idea where this world will be at that point, so I really can’t say where I’ll be either. Long term dreams are important, but right now I’m just thinking about how to get my projects on the ground for this summer…
