Stephen Miller, man, always has been running the Rapist in Chief Trump’s Minyan . . . forget about Semen Drip Musk or VD Vance!

ABC News suspended journalist Terry Moran on Sunday after the veteran reporter posted tweets describing the president and his top adviser, Stephen Miller, as “world-class haters”.

Moran, in two tweets, described Donald Trump and Miller, the architect of the president’s mass deportation policy, as filled with hatred of their respective political enemies. But Trump’s, Moran said, was “a means to an end, and that end [is] his own glorification.”

“Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred,” Moran wrote of the White House aide. “He’s a world-class hater. You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate.”

That fucking White Psychotic Gang Leader, well, with a little help from his Miller Minyan:

“I was elected to take bad people out of the United States, among other things. I must be allowed to do my job” Trump continued.

Government attorneys have never referenced the tattoos in court filings to support their claims that Abrego Garcia is a gang member. Their allegation rests on the word of a confidential police informant who in 2019 claimed the Maryland father was a member of MS-13’s “Westerns” clique, which operates out of New York, where Abrego Garcia has never lived.

Several social media users expressed doubt over the authenticity of the image of a hand Trump held in the post.

Linda Higgins, a former Minnesota state senator, wrote on X: “Hey Old Man, @realDonaldTrump, have someone teach you about Photoshop. This is an excellent example of altering a photo, in this case to make your illegal actions look good. But instead you look foolish.”

“‘MS-13’ looks like it was typed on the photo,” one user remarked.

Another commented: “Ummmm. Pardon my cynicism but you can see that looks clearly Photoshopped right? Right?”

A top Immigration and Customs Enforcement official on Thursday detailed appalling and unsafe conditions faced by a group of deportees, and the government officials guarding them, at a U.S. military base in the Horn of Africa nation of Djibouti.

Melissa Harper, the No. 2 official at ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations, bemoaned a lack of adequate security equipment at the U.S. base Camp Lemonnier. In a sworn court declaration, she described illness among the detainees and government agents, inadequate medical care, and 100-degree outdoor temperatures. She detailed risks of malaria, exposure to smoke from nearby burn pits, and potential attacks from militants in Yemen.

“The aliens are currently being held in a conference room in a converted Conex shipping container on the U.S. Naval base in Camp Lemonnier,” said Harper in a sworn declaration in federal court in Massachusetts. “This has been identified as the only viable place to house the aliens.”

Earlier Senior White House adviser Stephen Miller railed against the protests, calling the demonstrations an “insurrection” against the United States. In response to a post on X showing footage of the mass demonstrations, Miller wrote “An insurrection against the laws and sovereignty of the United States.”

Rabid dogs, the Millers: Shoot on sight?

Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff for policy, has described his Trump-centric family life days after his wife left her administration post to work for Elon Musk.

After discussing Trump’s construction of the MAGA movement, his immigration stance, and Democrats’ “unsellable ideology,” Miller explained his personal ties to President Donald Trump in a softball Fox News interview with Lara Trump, the president’s daughter-in-law.

The Saturday evening interview comes days after his wife Katie Miller reportedly left her role as an adviser at the Department of Government Efficiency to work full-time for Musk, who once led the cost-cutting arm.

A Doctor Said Israel’s War Is Fueling Health Crises in Gaza. UCSF Fired Her.

Dr. Rupa Marya of San Francisco is suing for discrimination after her university punished her for speaking out against Israel’s genocide of Palestinians.

The complaints, which name as defendants UCSF officials including the school’s Chancellor Sam Hawgood, allege that UCSF began to target Marya’s advocacy even before she began to speak out about Palestine. Marya’s scholarship includes research into the impacts of colonialism and structural racism in health care. The state complaint says her advocacy for her Black or unhoused patients had drawn criticism from some of her white colleagues, who allegedly used “racist tropes” against Marya, a woman of Indian descent and raised in a Sikh household.

Nurses protest outside Downing Street in June 2020.

“UCSF leadership repeatedly characterized Dr. Marya’s advocacy for marginalized patients as ‘unprofessional,’ ‘aggressive’ and ‘harmful,’” the complaints read.

She Exposed a Prestigious Medical Journal’s Silence on the Holocaust. Now She’s Asking About Gaza.

“Is the silence of the journal regarding the pulverization of the health care system in Gaza, and Israel’s relentless attack on health care workers and the creation of a public health and humanitarian disaster and the weaponization of starvation similar or different to its silence during the Holocaust?” Abi-Rached said toward the end of her talk, joining the symposium virtually from Paris. “What explains the erasure of the predicament of Palestinians in the pages of the journal? What do we mean by the political determinants of health if we precisely ignore the plight, the health, and well-being of marginalized and vulnerable populations?”

Abi-Rached, who recently fled the Israeli bombing campaign in Lebanon, where she grew up and had been teaching, questioned why the journal has yet to publish any articles about Palestinians and Gaza.

During her talk, Abi-Rached cautioned that the destruction in Gaza is a part of “a significant erosion” of the international humanitarian laws and framework born out of World War II and after the atrocities of Holocaust. She then noted that no one should be surprised that her paper with Brandt, published amid the war in Gaza, had “elicited such strong reactions among medical doctors, public health experts and other healthcare personnel, and the wider public, who were rightly appalled by the silence of the journal regarding the suffering of Palestinians.”

She said that it is the role of historians, medical journals, and universities to speak out and raise such questions to reckon with both past and present, referring to Israel’s war in Gaza as “the most glaring and moral crisis of our time.”

“What is happening today in Gaza is unprecedented. It far surpasses the violations of medical neutrality seen in El Salvador, Chile, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Syria, Sudan, or Ukraine,” Abi-Rached continued. “We are witnessing today the same deliberate and systematic targeting of health care personnel, not only in Gaza, but also in Lebanon where the conflict has moved and shifted.” (“Medical neutrality” refers to the principle of preserving access to medical care during times of war.)

On February 20, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton accused Annunciation House of violating immigration laws. For over 40 years Annunciation House has been providing services to migrants in El Paso. Its services have helped El Paso taxpayers from having to burden the cost of migrant surges along the border. For the most part, Annunciation House has operated openly and with the support of immigration officials to help transit migrants out of El Paso to communities across the United States where families and friends await them. It wasn’t until 2018 when El Paso’ taxpayers had to help fund the migrant operations because of Donald Trump’s immigration policies.

I once volunteered at Annunciation House, in El Paso, during the 1980s. I was chipping away at my graduate degree in English, teaching as a TA at UT-El Paso, as well as working freelance writing gigs with both the morning and evening newspapers, teaching one-on-one conversational English to an engineer in Juarez (who was working for Packard Electric getting paid one-tenth the pay as his fellow Yankees), writing a couple of books, and being active in environmental and social justice issues tied to protesting the militarization of the border and the overuse of the Rio Grande as a toxic slough and drawing down of the Hueco Basin aquifer for golf courses. Heck, in El Paso during this time I even worked for Planned Parenthood helping write a media plan against a mean son-of-a-bitch who called himself a Jew for Christ who set upon the clinic (no abortions done there) mean as cuss religious zealots who tried to block women and families from seeking STD services and such.

Ruben Garcia started the House in the late 1970s and by the time I got there, at Casa Anunciación, the dirty wars in Central America were really ramped up against teachers, unionists, activists, politicals on the left, priests, nuns and anyone questioning the rightwing policies of US-backed governments and the thug henchmen of those administrations, the death squads in Guatemala, Honduras, and Salvador, and the contras in Nicaragua. Part of the fallout created by those US-trained militarists, economists and lawyers who perpetrated that harm against their own people was that many small towns and villages – regular people of the land, la tierra – were being caught in the crossfire.

Entire villages were told in the morning by the fascists to pack up and head out of their pueblitos by sundown. Many girls, women and old ladies were raped and murdered. Beheadings of husbands and grandfathers, fetuses cut out of bellies, and torture of anyone who was suspected of going against Death Squad Capitalism were the order of the day.

When I was in my mid-twenties, in El Paso and working along the border, there were much more robust forms of journalism and ground-truthing reporting going on than anyone today in their twenties could image.

Both of my parents were assassinated by death squads in our country. My siblings and I fled because we were afraid. We entered the U.S illegally. We crossed the river, and once inside the U.S., we applied for asylum. We were among the very few who were granted asylum. In 1988 I graduated from Bowie and studied at UTEP, receiving a bachelor’s of science. – former refugee at a press conference in El Paso, at Annunciation House

Now, back to “we all are illegal aliens,” where I helped push that bumper sticker in El Paso as a solidarity protest meme, to illustrate that no American First Nations leaders came together to endorse the free passage of all those whites to use their great Turtle Island as a haul-out like a bunch of molting fur seals.

Here, my writing, 19 years ago, for Dissident Voice, just below. Talk about no shifting baseline for me, or in the case of this hatred of Mexicans and Central Americans, displayed by more than just Trump and his ilk.

Backing State Terrorism in Guatemala —

I was first in Guatemala in 1987 to interview educators and activists who were important for my research about the role of religious beliefs among Maya indigenous peoples as they waged resistance to their ongoing repression. 1987 was a date when Guatemala’s latest series of military governments had just passed the worst of mass violence against Maya communities, the worst occurring between 1981 and 1983.

The period is often called a “hidden/silent holocaust,” the “Guatemala holocaust” or the “Maya holocaust.” And this is only one site of Israel’s involvement with massive state violence and terrorism throughout Latin America. I had been working with Guatemalans and others in the US to seek an end to U.S. military aid to Guatemala.

Simultaneous to my research, I was also in Guatemala to set up a program for students, one that I ran at Princeton Theological Seminary for almost 15 years. It placed our students in Central America, usually in Guatemala, for 8-weeks of summer learning programs–not for missions, building projects, but primarily for accompaniment, listening, and mutual understanding. Setting up this program through consultations with many Guatemalans, and then guiding students through this program remains one of the most valuable of my experiences over 40-plus years of teaching at Princeton.

One day in 1987, as the dust and smog of a Guatemala City street swirled about me, I walked in conversation with an activist friend and mentor. We were interrupted, startled by a loud order given by an authoritative command, projected by a deep vibrating loudspeaker. Call it a Darth Vader like sound-only sharper, slightly higher pitched, more threatening at high volume.

“What?” I gasped with irritation.

Witness our new police vehicles, courtesy of the Israeli Government.“Oh yeah,” clarified my colleague, “Witness our new police vehicles, courtesy of the Israeli Government.”

“Israel in Guatemala?”

This disturbed me and started a line of thinking that persisted in my research and writing for decades. The Israeli state’s destruction of over

Better yet, a poem by Guatemala’s most famous poet who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1967: Miguel Angel Asturias. According to The Review of Contemporary Fiction, “Asturia was a man who believed deeply in maintaining Native American culture in Guatemala, and who championed those who were persecuted. His literature was critically acclaimed, but perhaps not always appreciated. As an artist, his complexity is such that readers and critics often shy away from his elegant beauty.

Caudal (The Fortune)

To give is to love,
To give prodigiously:
For every drop of water
To return a torrent.

We were made that way,
Made to scatter
Seeds in the furrow
And stars in the ocean.

Woe to him, Lord,
who doesn’t exhaust his supply,
And, on returning, tells you:
“Like an empty satchel

Is my heart.”

This Land is Their Land, and We Are the Illegal Aliens

by Paul K. Haeder

“We are all illegal aliens.” It’s a bumper sticker many of us on the frontlines of the fight against the United States’ government’s assault on Central Americans plastered on our car bumpers down El Paso way.

That was in the 1980s.

You know, when Reagan was running amuck ordering his captains Ollie North, McFarland, Casper Weinberger, the whole lot of them, to send bombs, CIA-torture manuals and US agents in order to aid terrorist contras and other despotic sorts in killing hundreds of thousands of innocents in civil wars in Salvador and Guatemala and El Salvador.

We worked with women and children who had witnessed fathers, uncles and husbands eviscerated by US-backed military monsters. Victims of torture, in Texas illegally. You know, what those brave Smith and Wesson-brandishing, chaise lounge Minutemen of today would call aliens.

We worked with people in faith-based communities, mainstream churches, and non-profits throughout El Paso, Juarez and the general area known as La Frontera. Everyone I met working with in this refugee assistance stint had humanitarian blood coursing through their veins. We were proud of our law-breaking work — we gave refuge to terrorized and sometimes half-dead civilians.

We were called lawbreakers by the Reaganites and the Minutemen of that time. Communists. Pinko-fags. Those were the good old days of low-tech surveillance and simple FBI lists.

But what we did was human and humane, in the tradition of that very universal (with roots in Quakerism) belief in bearing witness and acting upon that which has been judged as unjust and inhumane.

Of course, we were up against the laws of this land and coarse politically driven judges who denied victim after victim permanent or temporary status while seeking asylum in the US.

We have so many stories of people sent back who were at best imprisoned, and in the worst cases, mutilated, disappeared, and murdered.

Guatemalan and Salvadorans, that is. Your readers don’t want to hear the narratives and visualize the descriptions of photos of those victims of torture. Ghastly things happened to teachers, nuns, medical workers and farmers, more heinous than what we’ve heard happened in the cells of Abu Ghraib.

We were there to assist, but more importantly to bear witness to our country’s terror campaign. Some of us got so riled up that later in our lives — me included — we hoofed it to Central America. Kicked around. Wrote articles for the few newspapers in this country that even cared about poor, misbegotten, displaced people of Latin America.

But no matter how hard-nosed we became, or how much we could withstand the photographs of women’s sliced backs and beheaded fetuses, we couldn’t shake the images of the children of torture at this two-story refugee house, Annunciation House. It was full of scruffy-looking East Coast volunteers who had hooked up with Ruben Garcia, the House’s director, through Catholic services organizations. It was their stint with public service, their spiritual duty calling. Part of their degree plans. But most were converted and slammed hard by the violence their charges had suffered under.

Those PTSD-induced cartoons those children drew sucked the air out of even the hard-ass border patrol guys who used to “dump” the Central Americans at Ruben’s door at all hours of the night. Who can believe it now, that once upon a time official INS and border patrol officers knowingly let their perps go — knew that Ruben and his volunteers could salve emotional and physical wounds of these tortured crossers.

Their chance at freedom. Except for the piss-ant judges. And the memories of pregnant aunties being raped, their fetuses cut out alive, speared, and the laughing Reagan-loved military punks in the highlands and jungle.

Annunciation House was bulging at 100 people — disheveled lives jammed in. Beans always cooking. Songs. Mattresses and piles of donated clothes. Guitars strumming. Gueros, the white ones, and the Chicanos would help with in-takes — asylum transcripts, translation, dotting all the i’s and t’s. Help with getting jobs. Odd jobs in the community. Help with making sure the refugees didn’t get caught again.

But it was always those by-the-letter-of-the-law jurists helping confound the torture. More than 70 percent of our brothers and sisters seeking asylum in the US were denied entry by some fat cat, cocaine-sniffing immigration judge who usually had a friend in the back pocket of some Bush or buddy of Bush somewhere.

Then it was trying to get the denied victims off to Canada without being caught. You remember, “the Canada” back then which used to open its borders to refugees.

The judges and politicians and Minutemen all professed, “Send them back. Those aliens broke our immigration laws.”

But “we are all illegal aliens” as a rejoinder went much further than USA’s mayhem in Mesoamerica. We worked in solidarity with the housekeepers, bricklayers, agricultural workers and so many other worthy Mexicans who worked their butts off in the US for little pay and much less respect.

These were workers who crossed the Rio Grande to find low-paying jobs with American families and businesses — working for mayors, bigwigs, even on government contracts. In Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, elsewhere. With a wink and a smile by the American exploiters.

Mojado — wetback. Squatter. Beaner. Illegal alien. These were the more tame epithets.

But let’s not kid ourselves about the genesis of this new round of empowered Latinos fighting against racist laws put forward by the dispassionate conservatives running the ship of fools in DC.

This is not a country of legal immigrants. It’s a country based on colonialists, undocumented white people who helped displace native tribes through broken laws and genocide.

It’s a country based on illegal occupation of native lands and on Mexico’s lands, pure and simple. Colonialists protected by Federal laws that deemed free white people as the only ones who had the right to be fully-fledged citizens.

Manifest destiny was a violent racist act to seize lands illegally. Everything this country’s current anti-Mexican and pro-Apartheid border war proponents stand upon — all that doctrine and those so-called laws — is based on illegally seizing lands of Native tribes.

And worse — laws that “removed” natives. Laws that starved natives. Laws that approved of eradicating native families, entire tribes.

The current massive turnout of students and workers alike in this country’s major cities is a testament to these Americans’ backbone to fight this new exclusionary law — HR4377 — a Washington, DC-inspired racist act that has its roots in the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.

Many Americans do express a certain humanity and dignity for the people many deem aliens, but it’s not awe-inspiring that some citizens of Denmark or Limerick, Ireland, obey the so-called immigration laws of this country during their initial years as landed immigrants.

Let’s make no bones about the motives of Jim Sensenbrenner, the author of this racist House bill: He sees those brown-skinned south-of-the-border lettuce pickers, linen washers, house framers, and their US-borne children as, what? “Alien gang members terrorizing communities.”

Anyone spouting that we are a nation of immigrants and laws has a disease, what George Orwell called the illness of doublethink.

And until those many white Americans stop spewing that this is their land, a land of their laws, and a land made for Christians, the racist Minutemen will ramp up their gun brandishing on the southern and northern borders. And racist politicians will continue to play on the fears of uniformed constituents and try and pass the 21st Century’s racist exclusionary laws.

I wonder what these modern-day Nazis would say about those children’s cartoons — images of bodies floating in rivers. Blood-soaked church walls. Military men with their M-16s trained on men while others were in their rape hunch. Beautiful jungle birds flying in the sky next to US-paid-for helicopter gunships spraying the corn fields below. Dead mommies cradling dead babies.

Yeah, I’m an illegal alien. We all are illegal aliens, under the laws of these creeps in high office. Humanity and caring and simple benedictions for suffering so much, those are alien traits only held by a minority in this country of exclusion. Yeah, those creeps on hate-radio and in the newspaper columns and on Capitol Hill, sure, they recognize all of us who see the lies and fight the injustice as aliens.

And the children whose post-traumatic cartoons brought tears to men and women who had been in Vietnam. Simple Crayola colorings brought tears to a county sheriff who had survived drug runners shooting up his town and unearthed bodies.

Yeah, we are all illegal aliens. Except them.

in the name of Jews — there is no diff between Judaism and Zionism — the genocide will be played on smart phones . . .

“Any Jew who claims to be anti-Zionist who cannot take action against the Jews who commit these crimes have two choices: either they renounce Judaism, or they take physical action to liberate Judaism from Zionism.

For us, as Palestinians, as Lebanese, as Arabs, as Muslims, as Christians, the fate of Judaism is not something that we have to care about. We care about the lives of our people. Those who want us to differentiate between Zionism and Judaism must take concrete action to stop these crimes and this genocide. Otherwise, Judaism is cursed. Today, there is nothing noble about Judaism if no Jews take action that can be described as noble.”

Here, from another Substack you have to pay to comment upon:

Israel has announced plans to intercept the Freedom Flotilla and suggested that if Greta’s vessel tries to deliver aid to Gaza it will come under attack. Given there is not a person in the world who believes the flotilla poses any military threat, this is an admission of a planned war crime.

I mean it’s not like Greta is gonna pull out an assault rifle and go all Rambo, is it? Yet you would think otherwise, the way Israel is talking. In an interview with the Israeli media in Hebrew, an IDF representative gave the usual nonsense about Israel’s mythological right to self-defence:

“We are prepared to defend the citizens of the state of Israel. … We operate day and night to protect the maritime space and the borders of the state of Israel.” The spokesman refused to discuss deployment methods, but said: “We will act accordingly” in what sounded very much like a threat.

Bearing in mind the Madleen would not be entering Israeli waters at any point, and Palestinians have a legal right to receive humanitarian aid, any interception would be illegal, but when did Israel ever give a shit about international law?

All you need to know is that Israel has a right to defend itself from baby food and medicine, and if that means killing the people delivering aid, so be it.

If you think Israel would never do such a thing, you must have missed that 70% of its victims in Gaza are women and children. You must have missed that it drone-strikes any Palestinian with a social media presence. You must have missed that Greta is exactly the type of person Israel would target.

Oh, darn, USS Liberty dude, those Jews Killing US Uniformed Soldiers and Approved by that Piece of Shit Murderer LBJ? And the Mossad attacks on USA, Sept. 11? Or almost a hundred years of extracting our USA blood for trillion$ fed to the Murdering and Raping and Starving and Polluting Israel DIRECTLY and INDIRECTLY and all the hell humanity has had to pay for the Jewish and Israeli (same thing) influence on global politics, even in EL Salvador and Nicaragua and you name those African psychotic nations with undying support for the murderers of Israel?

Track the sailboat: MADLEEN.

In partnership with Forensic Architecture, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition has equipped the ‘Madleen’ with an advanced tracking system. This technology plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of those on board, maintaining transparency about the vessel’s location, and holding potential aggressors accountable for their actions.

As the Madleen sails toward Gaza to challenge Israel’s ongoing blockade, a blockade deemed illegal under international law, there is a real and well-documented risk of interception by Israeli naval forces. Past Flotilla’s have faced violent raids, unlawful detentions, and the obstruction of humanitarian missions. In this context, the tracker is not simply a navigation tool; it is a form of protection.

By continuously broadcasting the location, the tracker allows supporters, journalists, legal observers, and human rights organizations around the world to follow the vessel in real time. This visibility acts as a deterrent to violence and unlawful interference, while also ensuring that any act of aggression can be documented and investigated. It is an essential part of a broader strategy of nonviolent resistance and international solidarity.

Through this partnership, we are not only increasing transparency, we are building a framework for justice. The tracker transforms a solitary vessel into a globally witnessed journey, making it harder for any violations to occur unnoticed or unchallenged.

Jews: NeoCons and Project for a New Jewish-American Century.

Sami Ramadani—Iraqi writer and lecturer in sociology—details how the U.S. and NATO led the destruction of Iraq through war, sanctions, and economic occupation, killing over a million Iraqis and leaving a toxic legacy that continues to poison the land and people. From the death of half a million children under sanctions to the use of depleted uranium munitions and the corporate looting of Iraq’s state assets, Ramadani shows that genocidal warfare was used on Iraq. Today, the same tactics—sieges, starvation, displacement, and Western-backed bombardment—are being used against Palestinians in Gaza, with EU and U.S. governments continuing to supply arms and political cover to Israel. Ramadani exposes the deep continuity of imperial violence, the role of war as a profit engine, and how international law is discarded when it stands in the way of empire.

African attitudes to, and solidarity with, Palestine — From the 1940s to Israel’s Genocide in Gaza

Israel as the empire’s gateway to AfricaEarly developments in Israeli–African ties

Just one part of this insightful article. READ.

2. Israel as the empire’s gateway to Africa

It is impossible to understand current African positions on the Palestinian cause—both official and popular—without taking account of Israeli penetration of Africa over the years. Firstly, Israeli activity has frequently aligned with neocolonial efforts on the African continent, with Israel acting as a bridge between former colonial industrial nations and developing countries in Africa. Secondly, this activity reflects Zionist efforts to cultivate allies and garner political support for Israel within global forums. Thirdly, Israel seeks to bolster its economy and to secure foreign markets across Africa.

Prior to recent discoveries of oil and gas reserves in the Mediterranean, Israel did not have any significant natural resources. The mineral wealth it controls in the occupied territories primarily consist of copper, phosphate and Dead Sea salts (with technological assistance from the United States (US) and Europe being instrumental in exploiting these resources).6 Africa, on the other hand, is abundant in mineral treasures and raw materials, which are coveted by Israel and former colonial Western powers. Moreover, seeking to expand its economy by positioning itself as an industrial hub that can advance both its own interests and those of its European and American supporters, Israel has therefore leveraged its presence in Africa to enhance these countries’ relations with African nations and to exploit Africa as a market for Israeli products.

In the two decades following its establishment in 1948, Israeli was engaged in absorbing, housing and finding employment for new immigrants, particularly those from impoverished Afro-Asian countries. Demographically, the Jewish population in Palestine numbered no more than 650,000 in 1948. By 1962, this number had risen to over 2 million,7 and it reached 2.3 million by 1966. During this period, Israel actively encouraged the immigration of African Jews from countries such as Nigeria, Ethiopia and Lesotho to the occupied territories.

The insights of African Jews arriving from various African countries helped the Israeli Foreign Ministry understand the challenges these nations were facing, and they helped Israeli intelligence to identify influential figures in African countries who might support Zionist interests. African Jewish Zionists played a crucial role in promoting Israel’s political goals. Through institutions like the Jewish Agency, Israel implemented specialised programmes involving diaspora Jews, including those from Africa. Its diplomatic missions across Africa arranged for African Jews to visit the occupied territories and attracted Zionist volunteers who had finished their military service in the Israeli Occupation Force (IOF) to go and join mercenary groups in various African countries.8

Against this background of its desire to expand both its Jewish population and its economy, Israel leveraged the wave of independence from colonialism that began in 1960, which became known as the Year of Africa. The retreating colonial powers left behind them newly independent African countries that were often in a state of need, scarcity and confusion, grappling with internal and external challenges, including border disputes, the complexities of modern governance, economic underdevelopment, a lack of economic growth, difficulties in integrating the global community and establishing an autonomous international personality, and a lack of skilled personnel for modern nation-building. Israel capitalised on these challenges. Swiftly seeking recognition from these new nations and establishing diplomatic relations with them, it entered into economic agreements, enhanced technical and cultural cooperation, and dispatched experts to provide assistance in various sectors.9 At the same time, Israel provided the former colonial powers with an alternative means to safeguard their remaining interests on the continent.

It is important to note in this regard that even before their departure, these colonial powers had sought to link African countries with Israel through economic agreements and had fostered personal relationships between African leaders and Israeli representatives. They permitted Israeli government officials and the Histadrut (the General Federation of Labour in Israel) to exploit African lands that were previously under colonial control, and they facilitated contacts between Israeli professional bodies and student organisations and their counterparts in Africa. This support persisted after African countries gained independence.

Fucking Jews:

Recently, the dirty Israel-Jewish First Chuck Schumer, the New York Senator and Senate leader for the Democratic party, lambasted Trump’s Middle East policy, not over the fact that he is supporting a genocidal ethnic cleansing plan in Gaza, but for not going to war with Iran for Israel.

In a video released to social media, Schumer said,

“When it comes to negotiating with the terrorist government of Iran, Trump’s all over the lot. One day he sounds tough, the next day he’s backing off. And now, all of a sudden, we find out that Witkoff is negotiating a secret deal with Iran. What kind of bull is this? They’re gonna sound tough in public, and then have a side deal that lets Iran get away with everything? That’s outrageous. We need to make that side deal public. We need to make that side deal public before Congress and, most importantly, the American people. If TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) is already folding, the American public should know about it.

Then this Arab Jew’s Substack: My Clash with Dan Cohen

Should anti-Zionism criticize Jews or should it try to create a distinction between Jews and Israelis? An online skirmish presented an opportunity to clarify my position on a cardinal issue

Alon Mizrahi

Oh, what is a fucking Jew? A race, ethnic group, clan/klan, people, tribe, nationality, cult, religion, cultural identity, wandering slime mold?

To return to the opening and title of this essay, I think that what Dan Cohen and others like him are doing derives mainly from conformity with the Western decree that I’ve mentioned, combined with a naive rebellion against Zionism: if we insist it has nothing to do with Jews and Judaism, then we have won. The only problem is that it’s a futile quest: both in terms of popular support and cultural, philosophical, and religious background, Zionist relies heavily on Judaism and Jewish participation, and the desire to extricate Judaism and Jews from the death grip of Zionism cannot be based on a die-hard insistence that nothing mutually links then.

The desire to make a group look like it’s evil and extermination-worthy is vile and must never be tolerated, but this is what Jews are now doing to Palestinians. To fix that, we don’t need to revert to antisemitic notions; we have to insist on the truth, and we have to demand that Jews at least have a chance to recognize their collective sinfulness and criminality, stop supporting Israel, and start going through the necessary steps to heal as a group of people, if that’s even possible for us.

Yes, the genocide has been this terrible.

Finally, coming to terms with the collective responsibility and guilt of the Jewish collective as part of an anti-Zionist revolution is an indispensable step to humanizing the Palestinians. Their catastrophe has been planned, carried out, and rammed through culture with the might of a collective. It adds another dimension of humiliation and horror to deny it, and make it look like Gaza’s holocaust, and the entire Palestinian hardship under Zionism, have only been just minor accidents, and nobody is really responsible, and it is not so serious we need to make the grieving and repentance a national thing.

As Muslims around the world prepare to celebrate Eid al-Adha this week, the central theme of sacrifice takes on profound new meaning against the backdrop of Gaza’s ongoing genocide. For 21 months now, we have watched Palestinian children pulled from rubble, families scattered by bombs, and an entire people systematically starved in what experts have confirmed is a deliberate campaign of ethnic cleansing. The question that haunts this Eid is not what Abraham was willing to sacrifice, but what we are willing to sacrifice to stop this violence.

The story of Eid al-Adha reminds us that true faith requires the willingness to give up what we hold most dear. The Prophet Abraham’s readiness to sacrifice his son demonstrated a devotion that transcended personal attachment. Today, as Gaza burns and the world watches, we must ask ourselves: What are we materially willing to sacrifice to end Palestinian suffering?

The statistics are staggering and undeniable. As of June 2025, over 70% of Gaza’s infrastructure has been destroyed, 500,000 Palestinians face immediate forced starvation as the blockade continues into its third month, and an average of 30 children are killed every day. Yet the world has normalized this suffering. Countries continue to supply weapons to Israel, maintain embassies in Tel Aviv, and consumers continue purchasing products from companies complicit in the occupation.

Could it be America has chosen Israel, because Israel is America unleashed?

Check it out: Gaza: Morality vs. Ideology

Despite all the chaos coming out of Washington, and despite the unending bluster and chest-beating, there is also much consistency when it comes to Israel, and its bloodlust. People often say that President Donald Trump has no ideology and that everything he does is transactional, the “art of the deal.” But he also is completely blind to the genocide in Gaza and gushes with empathy for the Israeli hostages. How can this blind spot be explained, if not by way of ideology?

For example, U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem visited the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem on May 25, 2025, shortly after arriving in Israel. During her visit, she was seen praying and reflecting at this site. She is an evangelical, which means Zionist, in the end.

Noem was accompanied by U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee and his wife Janet Huckabee. She was welcomed by Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz, the Rabbi of the Western Wall and the Holy Sites, and Mordechai (Suli) Eliav, Director of the Western Wall Heritage Foundation, who explained the importance of the site.

During the visit, Noem and the Rabbi recited a Psalm and offered a special prayer in memory of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, two Israeli Embassy staffers in Washington, D.C., who were recently killed in a shooting attack. They also prayed for the swift and safe return of all hostages.

At the conclusion of her visit, Noem placed a note in the stones of the Western Wall and inscribed in the guest book:

“Israel is God’s chosen people – we stand with you.” Noem also posted a video of herself praying at the Western Wall, with the message: “hate will not have the last word.”

Meanwhile, just a little to the west of that Wall, infants are starving, women and children are shredded to bits by American bombs, or burnt to death in endless holocausts. In Gaza, there are no hospitals, no bread, no water, no place to sleep, no hope of any rescue, because the leaders of the world are too busy looking away.

The Federal Reserve and Big Beautiful Bill

The administration is actively undermining the independence of the Federal Reserve, attacking the laws designed to prevent ideological capture and enforce checks and balances.

Buried in the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” are provisions that should alarm every American:

  • Section 899: A “revenge tax” that penalizes foreign holders of U.S. Treasuries. Potentially destabilizing financial markets and raising the cost of borrowing and home ownership for American families.
  • Section 70302: Strips federal courts (including the Supreme Court) of the ability to enforce contempt orders against officials who defy judicial rulings.
  • Section 43201: A 10-year federal takeover of AI governance that preempts all state-level regulation, stripping states of their constitutional right to safeguard citizens from unchecked algorithmic power, mass surveillance, and cognitive manipulation. Given the DOGE and Palantir directive, it lays the foundation for a federally controlled super-surveillance state.

More mumbo-jumbo:

Many of the teens and young adults Don Grant, PhD, has worked with, both through Newport Academy treatment center and his Los Angeles-based private practice, are experiencing a stress that is directly related to news they have learned about through social media or more traditional outlets.

“They may have just read about an animal on the verge of extinction or the latest update on the melting polar ice caps,” said Grant, who is also president of APA’s Division 46 (Society for Media Psychology and Technology). They may not even recognize at first that the news has affected their mood. But, he said, “They’re perseverating on it—it’s bothering them.”

In today’s hypercompetitive and incessant news delivery ecosystem, slightly more than half of U.S. adults report that they get their news through social media “often” or “sometimes,” according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted from August 31 to September 7, 2020. To drive “clickbait,” news coverage and social media postings also tend to highlight the more negative or dramatic news.

This leads to suffering from, as Grant describes it, “media saturation overload,” and he is not the only mental health professional noticing this specialized type of stress. Similar terms that have emerged recently include “doomscrolling,” “headline anxiety,” and “headline stress disorder.” While these terms are newer, the psychological strain of living through and absorbing dismal news is by no means confined to recent years. But lately, said Grant and other psychologists, the steady drumbeat of headlines and related social media commentary has been without pause: an ongoing pandemic, racial injustice, climate change, election controversy, mass shootings, and the list extends onward.

More research: Avoiding real news, believing in fake news? Investigating pathways from information overload to misbelief

Going backwards in time around the SARS-CoV2 planned pandemic: “infodemic”

Fake news has become a serious global concern that in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the World Health Organization also declared an “infodemic” over the spread of fake news about the disease (Thomas, 2020). Inaccurate claims about the origin of the virus, home remedies to kill the virus, as well as about COVID-19 vaccination went viral on social media during the pandemic. A number of factors have been examined that may help explain why some individuals believe in misinformation, such as repeated exposure to the misinformation (Fazio et al., 2015Pennycook et al., 2018) and confirmation bias, or when the fake news aligns with an individual’s pre-existing beliefs (Cha et al., 2020Ling, 2020). An important factor that some studies have explored is information overload (Bawden and Robinson, 2020). For example, Apuke and Omar (2021) found in a study involving social media users in Nigeria that information overload was related to frequency of sharing fake news related to COVID-19. Lazer et al. (2017) also argued that information overload, coupled with limited individual attention, may prevent adequate assessment of information on social media, which may contribute to misinformation. However, the pathway between…

“Media informs us, but there’s plenty of bleak news out there. And our brains have a negativity bias,” says psychiatrist Jess P. Shatkin. “We have an inborn mechanism in the amygdala and limbic system to pay attention to what can harm us. But engaging like that does impact our mood, sleep, and anxiety,” he says.

TURN AWAY from the DIRTY DEALINGS of Jewish Supremacy in the land, for sure, way too much fucking truth for the youth!

Shatkin, the director of NYU’s Child and Adolescent Mental Health Studies department, emphasized that attending to professional and family matters can prevent feeling incapacitated by current events. “I can’t directly affect what’s happening in Ukraine,” he says, “but I can try to be good to my students, patients, and family.” Investing in your own commitments and relationships builds resilience.

June 8, USS Liberty

Although the Israeli Mirages had strafed the antennas on their first attack, the crew managed to send an SOS, which was picked up by the Sixth Fleet. The latter’s commander, Admiral Lawrence Geis, immediately sent fighter jets to the rescue. But minutes later, he received a phone call from Johnson in person, who ordered him:

“I want that goddamn ship going to the bottom. No help. Recall the wings.”[6]

After the failure of Israeli forces to sink the ship, Johnson accepted Israel’s phony excuse of “mistaken identity” and hushed the affair, against the advise of some members of his Cabinet, including Dean Rusk, the Secretary of State originally named by Kennedy.

Mossad Chief Cohen speaking to Israel’s Finance Ministry:

“The Mossad has the obligation to obtain complete superiority in the world of espionage. We cannot be second best in terms of manpower, in defense against cyber-attacks, in espionage. We cannot be second best.”

Cohen also discussed recruiting within the Mossad, and attempts to ensure equal gender representation at all ranks:

“We wondered why only 25% of our commanders were women, even though at entry levels there were 50%. There is no justification for this. We launched a portal showing all available positions and we hold many discussions, including with experts on the subject, to enact a dramatic and important move which will bring about employment diversification for anyone who can serve in leadership roles. The aim is for more women to rise in the ranks.”

Those goddamn Democrats:

Not even 24 hours into one of the messiest public breakups of all time, Democrats are already frothing at the mouth to embrace Elon Musk and welcome him into the fold.

Rep. Ro Khanna, who represents Silicon Valley, went on X to defend engaging with Musk, saying that “we can be the party of sanctimonious lectures, or the party of FDR that knows how to win & build a progressive majority.”

Liam Kerr, co-founder of the group behind the centrist Democrats’ WelcomeFest told Politico that “of course” Democrats should welcome Musk back into the party. Rep. Ritchie Torres said that he’s a “believer in redemption”

Time and again, Democrats have tried to forge alliances with high profile right-wing “defectors”, usually claiming something about bridge building and how the party needs to build a bigger tent. They’re usually praised by the right for these actions and get some headlines out of it, but it comes at the great cost of the party’s long term credibility.

Journalist Adam Johnson put it well when he posted,

“Setting aside the fact Musk took an axe to the liberal state, does Nazi salutes, is having a stimulant-fueled meltdown & has favorables comparable to herpes—the issue is why SPECIFICALLY is ’embracing’ Musk of urgent import vs literally anyone else?

Another blood-soaked Eid: Palestinians are the sacrifice

This Eid al-Adha is Gaza’s fourth amid genocide, where the only celebration left isn’t new clothes, it’s food and surviving another day

Ahmad Ibsais's avatar

Ahmad Ibsais

As Muslims around the world prepare to celebrate Eid al-Adha this week, the central theme of sacrifice takes on profound new meaning against the backdrop of Gaza’s ongoing genocide. For 21 months now, we have watched Palestinian children pulled from rubble, families scattered by bombs, and an entire people systematically starved in what experts have confirmed is a deliberate campaign of ethnic cleansing. The question that haunts this Eid is not what Abraham was willing to sacrifice, but what we are willing to sacrifice to stop this violence.

The story of Eid al-Adha reminds us that true faith requires the willingness to give up what we hold most dear. The Prophet Abraham’s readiness to sacrifice his son demonstrated a devotion that transcended personal attachment. Today, as Gaza burns and the world watches, we must ask ourselves: What are we materially willing to sacrifice to end Palestinian suffering?

The statistics are staggering and undeniable. As of June 2025, over 70% of Gaza’s infrastructure has been destroyed, 500,000 Palestinians face immediate forced starvation as the blockade continues into its third month, and an average of 30 children are killed every day. Yet the world has normalized this suffering. Countries continue to supply weapons to Israel, maintain embassies in Tel Aviv, and consumers continue purchasing products from companies complicit in the occupation.

Upgrade to paid

This normalization is not accidental—it is the product of a global system that tells Palestinians time and time again that our death is to be expected, that our death is business as usual. When nonviolent resistance like BDS is criminalized, when protests are suppressed, when even calling for a ceasefire is labeled antisemitic, the message is clear: Palestinian lives simply matter less. We are told that if we decide to create a nonviolent movement that seeks to impose economic pressure on the Israeli government to end its crime of apartheid, we’re not going to receive media attention. Media is going to turn a blind eye to this, and that movement is going to be penalized.

But here’s what they don’t tell you: being socially ostracized or losing your job is never going to compare to losing your home or losing your entire family. The fear of suspension is never going to compare to the moments you live before you die under rubble. These things are not minor details. This is not just context that is marginal. It is, again, the very reason why people rebel, why people resist, why people engage in these acts that we might think are completely inexplicable.

After 21 months of genocide, it has become clear that government lip service and symbolic gestures are insufficient. The same politicians who issue statements condemning violence continue to fund it. The same institutions that claim to value human rights turn blind eyes to systematic oppression. The same media outlets that covered every detail of October 7th barely mention the daily massacres that followed. We are told as a people time and time again that our death can be, at best, mentioned in the end of year reports.

Content creator Ms. Rachel recently said, “whatever price we pay is worth it,” and she could not be more correct. The genocide will not end until each of us examines what we are materially willing to sacrifice—our comfort, our jobs, our money, our safety. Like Mahmoud Khalil and countless others who have faced real consequences for their solidarity with Palestine, we must move beyond performative support to meaningful action.

True sacrifice requires more than social media posts or attending rallies when convenient. It demands that we divest completely from Israeli institutions and boycott companies complicit in the occupation, even when it means giving up products or services we enjoy. It demands that we risk our professional standing by refusing to work with institutions that normalize Israeli apartheid, following the lead of doctors, artists, and academics who have put principle before career advancement. It demands that we use our bodies and voices to disrupt business as usual, joining actions like the Freedom March scheduled for June 15th and supporting the Freedom Flotilla attempting to break Gaza’s siege. It demands that we sacrifice our comfort by engaging in sustained resistance that goes beyond episodic protest to fundamental lifestyle changes that materially impact the systems enabling genocide.

The current moment reveals the bankruptcy of the “peace process” mythology. The peace process was never a process toward peace, but a process of erasure with better PR. What we’re witnessing in Gaza is not an aberration, it is the very defining factor of the Zionist project: more and more land theft. The very fact that Israeli politicians can talk on podiums with maps of Greater Israel, the fact that Netanyahu can go to the United Nations and show a map that shows a Greater Israel that includes parts of Syria, the West Bank, Gaza Strip—all of this flies under the radar, but the intent is clear.

This Eid al-Adha, we cannot afford to treat Palestinian liberation as a distant aspiration. Every day of inaction means more children in plastic bags, more families erased, more villages destroyed. The international community has failed Palestinians for 77 years. It falls to us—ordinary people willing to make extraordinary sacrifices—to break this cycle. We must recognize that there is so much fear, and this fear is not born out of the blue. There is so much hostility against Palestinians and against any pro-Palestinian sentiment. And this hostility is being transformed into legislation, into FBI investigations, into spineless university leaders who go after and target students and their freedom of speech.

But I want to remind all of us that these fears and these consequences will never compare to the consequences of living under occupation. I want to encourage everybody to be brave. And I want to remind everyone of the absolute importance of taking a public stance, denouncing apartheid, denouncing genocide, denouncing Zionism, denouncing the siege on Gaza, denouncing the occupation. It is of utmost crucial importance. This rabid repression, totalitarian response to Palestinian advocacy is scary, but it’s also revealing that they are proportionately responding to the way that the tide is shifting. And when they come for us, we do not shrink, we do not give them an inch. We become brave and we become courageous.

The story of Abraham teaches us that divine intervention comes only after we demonstrate our willingness to sacrifice. Perhaps our collective willingness to sacrifice—our comfort, our careers, our safety—will finally force the hand of history toward justice. We don’t think of ourselves as casualties. We don’t think of the prices we pay as personal, individualistic prices. But we remember that we are members of a collective movement and that struggles necessitate sacrifice.

This Eid, let us honor the spirit of sacrifice by moving beyond symbolic solidarity to material action. Let us join the growing movement of people worldwide who understand that Palestinian liberation is inseparable from human liberation everywhere. Let us be willing to pay whatever price is necessary to ensure that never again will children be starved on live television while the world looks away. The Palestinian people have already sacrificed everything. The question that will define our generation is simple: What are we willing to sacrifice for them?

Eid Mubarak to all those willing to answer that call.

Versus this shit.

Anything goes now that the White Man’s House and the Jewish Mafia Minyan have their codes codified by both dems and pubics: So Jews? Israel backers? All are on-without-limits?

For the second day in a row, electronic devices across Lebanon, including walkie talkies, exploded on Wednesday, killing 14 people and injuring over 450, according to Lebanon’s health ministry.

The attack came one day after thousands of pagers across the country exploded at the same time, killing eleven people—including a 9-year-old child—and wounding nearly 3,000, including many civilians and government and hospital workers. Hezbollah and the Lebanese government blamed Israel for the attacks.

“Everyone’s scared to send text messages, to make calls, and they’re afraid to open laptops. It’s definitely led to some level of complete disorientation, fear, confusion, paranoia. It has huge psychological effects,” said Amal Saad, a leading expert on Hezbollah. “People have started to say, ‘Okay, this is going to be the new type of warfare. This is going to be how they’re going to fight. It’s going to be terrorism warfare. So this is the new normal now.’ People are preparing themselves for more of this.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a brief video statement on Wednesday after the second round of attacks. “I have said it before: We will return the citizens of the north to their homes in security, and that’s exactly what we are going to do.”

“We have many capabilities that we have not yet activated,” Israeli lieutenant general Herzi Halevi said, regarding Israel’s plans for military operations at the northern border with Lebanon.

Among the destinations to which direct flights have been launched are Santorini, the Peloponnese and Corfu, which the Israeli public already knows but with a lower profile.”

[Ben Gurion Airport]

This fucked up country, David Ben Gurion:

The terrorism practiced nowadays by Zionists gangs like Lahava (the flame), Paying the Price, Youths upon the Hills, and the Jewish Fighting Organization cannot be divorced from the terrorism practiced during the British Mandate over Palestine by Zionist gangs which began to form at the beginning of the Twenties of the last century, becoming very active especially in the Thirties and Forties. However, what distinguishes the current Zionist terrorist gangs is that their acts of murder, arson, expulsion, sacrilege and cutting of trees being carried out against the Palestinians on the West Bank take place with the full support, and sometimes the active participation, of the soldiers of the Israeli army of occupation.

Zionist terrorism before 1948

The terms “Jewish terrorism” and “Zionist terrorism” were both used prior to 1948 to refer to terrorist acts committed by armed Zionist gangs which targeted the Arab inhabitants of Palestine as well as the British Mandate authorities. Since the Great Palestine Revolt of 1936-39 and right until the establishment of the State of Israel, Zionist terrorism was used as a strategic military weapon to hasten the founding of an independent Jewish state. Numerous attacks were mounted against Palestinians to terrorize them and drive them out of their ancestral land, and against British army and police outposts. Many assassinations were carried out as well as bombs planted in markets, ships and hotels. Heading these Zionist gangs were men who, in later years, became prime ministers of Israel, such as David Ben-Gurion, Menahem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir.

Zionist terror gangs before 1948

In discussing Zionist terrorism before the creation of the State of Israel, one might point to the activities of four principal gangs: the Haganah, the Irgun (ETZEL), the Stern and the LEHI.

  1. The Haganah gang:

In 1909, an organization called Hashomer (the Guardian) was founded by Yitzhak Ben Zvi and David Ben-Gurion as the first paramilitary formation which raised the slogan “Judaea was lost by blood and fire and will rise again by blood and fire.” It began its activities by assuming security functions for the settlements in the Galilee, then turned into a fighting force. In June 1920, and at the conference of Ahdut Ha Avoda, the formation of the Haganah (Defence) was announced, as an extension of Hashomer. In 1924, it issued its “constitution”, declaring itself to be a secret military formation whose object was to protect the Jewish community in Palestine, the Yishuv. The Haganah was linked to the Jewish Labor Unions (the Histadrut), and trained its members in the use of firearms in the Zionist Kibbutzes and settlements, before some of them enlisted in the British police force in Palestine. This gang also struck deals to buy weapons from outside Palestine which it then smuggled into the country and manufactured some weapons in small workshops founded in these kibbutzes and settlements. In 1939, a leadership structure was created for the Haganah, and was headed by Yacov Dori, later to become the first chief of staff of the Israeli army.

During World War II, hundreds of Haganah members enlisted in the British army to help Britain in its war against Nazi Germany and her allies. This gave them valuable military experience and enabled them to amass large hoards of weapons. At war’s end, and in order to hasten the creation of a Jewish state, members of the Haganah and their elite units, called the Palmach, numbering some 60 thousand male and female fighters and 700 officers, began to carry out terrorist operations against British military and civilian outposts throughout Palestine. Their intelligence outfits then began to gather a lot of information on the Arabs, their towns and places of residence which they made use of in the years 1947 and 1948 in mounting military operations against Palestinian Arabs to drive them out of their towns and villages. Following the establishment of Israel, the Haganah was the base upon which was built the Israeli army and many of its leaders took part in leading that army as well as in occupying political posts in successive Israeli governments.

  1. The Irgun (Etzel) Gang:

In 1923, the head of Revisionist Zionism, Vladimir Jabotinsky, founded in Riga, capital of Latvia, the youth movement called Bitar. In 1931, and following the military principles propagated by Jabotinsky among Bitar members, the Irgun gang was formed in Palestine as the military wing of Revisionist Zionism, following a rift among members of the Haganah gang. Irgun was known as the “National Military Organization” headed first by Avraham Tehomi, who declared that “ political violence and terrorism” were “legitimate means in the Jewish national struggle for the land of Israel.” Beginning in 1938, this gang became active in organizing secret Jewish immigration into Palestine.

Following his arrival in Palestine in 1942, Menahem Begin, a Bitar leader in Poland, succeeded in rearranging and reforming the ranks of this gang and declared a revolt against the British mandate regime in Palestine. He then led a series of terrorist attacks against British and Palestinian Arab targets. The British government declared him a wanted individual and announced a prize for his arrest. Following the creation of Israel, Begin at first announced that Israel had come into existence but that “the entire homeland has not been liberated.” This was because his project entailed that Greater Israel would include all the lands between the Nile and the Euphrates but thereafter came to an agreement with the Provisional Government in Tel Aviv to disarm the Irgun gang and turn it into a political movement called Herut (Freedom) which, in 1973, participated in the creation of the Likud party.

  1. The Stern Gang:

This gang, a breakaway from the Irgun, was founded in 1940 by Avraham Stern, whose code name was “Yair.” This followed a dispute which started as a result of this gang’s intention to continue terrorist activities against the British Mandate without regard to the ongoing world war, its opposition to Jews enlisting in the British army, and its intention to cooperate on a tactical basis with any movement that supported fighting the British in Palestine or obstructed Jewish institutions and organizations created during the Mandate. To that effect, Stern wrote: “Our current leaders haver learnt to say ‘No’ to the British. They are ghetto Jews, whose mentality has not changed. It is up to us, a small minority, to declare this war in the name of the people, and the masses will follow us, willy-nilly.” Stern called for a state extending from the Nile to the Euphrates and contacted Italian Fascists with a view to weakening British power in the Middle East. Under his leadership, this gang carried out operations of robbery and attempted assassinations targeting British officials and Jewish police officers, labelled “collaborators” with the British.

  1. The Lehi Gang:

On February 12, 1942, the British police killed Avraham Stern while he was hiding out in Tel Aviv. His followers then formed a new and secret movement called Lehi, an acronym for “Fighters for the Freedom of Israel.” Lehi became notorious for using assassinations as terrorist weapons, carrying out some 42 assassinations, amounting to double the number of assassinations committed by both the Irgun and the Haganah. The Israeli government, seizing the chance of the assassination of Count Folke Bernadotte in September, 1948, dismantled Lehi’s military structure and a military court sentenced its leaders, Natan Yellin-Mor and Matityahu Shmuel Vitz, to long prison terms, later commuted through a general pardon. From among its ranks, Yitzhak Shamir was prominent, becoming Israel’s Prime Minister in 1983.

The most infamous terrorist acts committed by these gangs

These gangs carried out numerous terrorist acts against the Palestinian Arab population, especially during the Great Palestinian Revolt, and these included:

–On March 17, 1937, a member of the Irgun terrorist gang, and for the first time, tossed a hand grenade into a café frequented by Palestinians in Jerusalem, causing numerous casualties.

–On July 6, 1938, members of the Irgun gang detonated time bombs in a crowded Haifa market, killing 21 Palestinians and wounding 52.

–In June 1939, the village of Balad al-Shaykh, in Haifa province, was attacked by a unit of the Haganah. Five villagers were abducted then murdered.

–On the morning of November 25, 1940, a huge explosion shook the city of Haifa. The explosion, it was later determined, took place on the SS Patria, a French ship which had docked in the city’s harbor. On board were 1800 male and female Jews whom the British authorities wanted to deport to the island of Mauritius, since they did not have the necessary residence permits to enter Palestine. This the Haganah rejected and so decided to blow up the ship to prevent their deportation. As a result, 252 Jews and 12 British policemen were killed and 172 passengers were wounded. Palestinian workers in Haifa harbor managed to save the rest of the passengers. Following that incident, the British authorities decided to allow survivors to reside in Palestine.

As World War II was coming to an end, and in its immediate aftermath, these Zionist gangs intensified their anti-British operations. These included:

–On August 8, 1944, Lehi attempted to assassinate Sir Harold McMichael, the British High Commissioner in Palestine.

–On November 6, 1944, two members of the Lehi gang assassinated Lord Moyne in Cairo. Lord Moyne was then the highest-ranking representative of the British government in the Middle East. He was targeted for advocating the creation of an Arab federation in the Middle East. The two assassins, Eliyahu Bet-Zuri and Eliyahu Hakim, were arrested, tried by a military court, and hanged on March 23, 1945.

–On 18 June 1946, hostages were abducted in Tel Aviv to pressure the British authorities, the first time this terrorist strategy was used.

–On 29 June 1946, the British mandate police force carried out a wave of arrests in the offices of the Jewish Agency. The Irgun gang, led by Menahem Begin, decided to retaliate by targeting the British army’s HQ in Jerusalem, located in the King David Hotel, dynamiting it on July 22, 1946. As a result, 28 Britons, 17 Jews, 41 Palestinians and 5 others were killed, a total of 91 dead.

–On October 31, 1946, the British Embassy in Rome was bombed.

–On December 5, 1946, and for the first time, a car parked near some buildings in Sarafand was detonated.

–From June 4 to 6, 1947, twenty letter bombs were sent from Italy to British politicians in London.

–On July 29, 1947, members of that same gang kidnapped and killed some British soldiers in the Netanya region.

–But the most important operation carried out by Lehi was the assassination of Swedish Count Folke Bernadotte (1895-1948) who had been Vice-President of the Swedish Red Cross before being appointed by UN Secretary General, the Norwegian Trygve Halvdan Lie, as “mediator” in Palestine in May 1948. On September 17, 1948. Bernadotte actively sought to amend the map that partitioned Palestine in an attempt to reach a compromise between Arabs and Jews. This led the Lehi leadership to decide to assassinate him and four of its members, wearing Israeli army uniforms, blocked his car on September 17, 1948, in the Jerusalem sector controlled by Israel, and shot him along with French Colonel Andre Serot, head of the UN Observers in the city, who accompanied Bernadotte. Both men were killed instantly. To obscure the identity of the assassins, a movement called the “Patriotic Front” announced its responsibility but this did not succeed as a cover-up for the true assassins. Bernadotte’s assassination was widely condemned, and a minute of silence was observed in his memory at the UN General Assembly then in session.

–On April 9, 1948, units from the Irgun and Lehi committed a massacre in the village of Dayr Yasin, with a population of some 700. More than a hundred of them were murdered in cold blood.

At a meeting of Haganah leaders in Tel Aviv in March, 1948, and with Ben-Gurion present, it was decided to draw up a comprehensive plan for ethnic cleansing, known as “Plan Dalet”, according to which numerous massacres were carried out to terrorize the Palestinian civilian population and to drive them out of their homeland. Some massacres were carried out before the creation of the Israeli army, as in the Tantura massacre, a village south of Haifa, on 22 and 23 May, 1948, which resulted in the killing of more than 200 Palestinian men and women. Others were committed after that army was formed, as in the village of al-Dawaymah in the al-Khalil (Hebron) district, on October 29, 1948, where hundreds of Palestinian men and women were killed.

The Museums perpetuating the memory of these terrorist gangs

After 1948, museums were built to perpetuate the memory of these Zionist gangs, and their terrorist crimes were encompassed under the collective memory of the so-called “Armed Struggle” for the creation of a Jewish state.

The Haganah Museum: This was founded in Tel Aviv by the “Antiquities Unit” attached to Israel’s Ministry of Defence and carries the name of Haganah founder Eliyahu Golomb. The Museum was set up to the side of his house where the Haganah leaders used to meet to plan terrorist operations against the Palestinians and the British.

The Etzel Museum: This was founded in Tel Aviv as a result of an initiative by the Society of Etzel Fighters to commemorate their comrades and was named after Amichai Paglin who led the military operation that ended with the fall of Jaffa. It was opened in 1983 by Menahem Begin, Israel’s Prime Minister, a leader of that gang.

–The Lehi Museum or “Beit Yair”: This was founded in Tel Aviv in the house where Avraham Stern, or “Yair”, was killed by British policemen. The Museum runs shows illustrating his life and activities and holds cultural and educational events for students and the young as well as lectures and study periods.

Conclusion

The ancestors of today’s Jewish settlers, who currently terrorize the Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem, committed horrific terrorist acts in the Thirties and Forties of last century. Members of these Zionist gangs, especially the Irgun and Stern gangs, took the lead in employing terror as a political weapon in the Middle East. After the creation of Israel, they were the pioneers of what often became Israeli state policy of terror as evidenced in the numerous massacres committed by the Israeli army and the violence perpetrated against the Palestinian people under the official sanction of ruling political parties, such as the Likud, founded by former prominent members of Zionist terrorist gangs like the Irgun and Lehi. If Zionist terrorism in Palestine contributed to determining the course of events during the British Mandate, it is Israel’s state terrorism which determines today’s course of events.

MOSSAD Eyes and Ears, Mathilde Krim, LBJ and the USS LIBERTY

Posted on January 12, 2018 By Eileen Fleming

Last Tuesday Israel’s Mossad Chief Yossi Cohen made a rare appearance at a Finance Ministry conference to address ongoing protests in Iran and reassured his audience that Israel “has eyes, ears and even more” in Iran.

ONE woman who had eyes, ears and even more in the White House during The Six Day War was President Lyndon Baines Johnson’s consort: Mathilde Krim.

In 1981, Krim became an AIDS activist soon after the first cases of AIDS were reported.

By Eileen Fleming

Haaretz quoted Mossad Chief Cohen speaking to Israel’s Finance Ministry:

“The Mossad has the obligation to obtain complete superiority in the world of espionage. We cannot be second best in terms of manpower, in defense against cyber-attacks, in espionage. We cannot be second best.”

Cohen also discussed recruiting within the Mossad, and attempts to ensure equal gender representation at all ranks:

“We wondered why only 25% of our commanders were women, even though at entry levels there were 50%. There is no justification for this. We launched a portal showing all available positions and we hold many discussions, including with experts on the subject, to enact a dramatic and important move which will bring about employment diversification for anyone who can serve in leadership roles. The aim is for more women to rise in the ranks.”

ONE woman who rose in the Israeli ranks during The Six Day War was President Lyndon Baines Johnson’s consort: Mathilde Krim.

In 1981, Mathilde Krim became an AIDS activist soon after the first cases of AIDS were reported.

President Clinton awarded Krim the Presidential Medal of Freedom – the highest civilian honor in the United States.

Cheers for the good works out of Krim’s later years but Mossad spies is the reason for this article.

In their later years Donald Pageler a USS LIBERTY survivor of the Six Day War and Captain Robert Kamansky, retired US Army Surgeon and Dentist have devoted years to investigative research of declassified documents, such as the Johnson White House Logs shortly before and during Israel’s June 8 1967 attack on the USS Liberty.

A brief report from Dr. Kamansky follows a brief history regarding Mathilde Krim:

In “GUILT BY ASSOCIATION: How DECEPTION and SELF-DECEIT Took America to WAR” Jeff Gates who served seven years as counsel to the U.S. Committee on Finance, exposed the ‘passionate attachment’ of LBJ and Mathilde Krim, who was twenty years his junior, blonde Italian and a Irgun operative.

The Irgun were the Zionist terrorist network led by Menachem Begin who emerged as Likud Party Prime Minister in 1977. With and without her husband, Mathilde Krim was a frequent guest at the LBJ Ranch having acquired a large Texas estate with heliport next to the Johnson Ranch, as well as the White House. Johnson was also a frequent guest at the Krim Ranch while Mr. Krim was away or not.

In The U.S.-Israeli Train Wreck, Jeff Gates wrote:

On the night that the Six-Day land grab began, Mathilde was enjoying a sleepover in the Johnson White House. But for that Zionist aggression, would Israel have been able to live peacefully with its neighbors? Israel and its supporters staged an elaborate charade to recast this provocation as defensive. That ruse included the cover-up of an Israeli assault on the U.S.S. Liberty that killed 34 Americans and left 175 wounded and many USS Liberty family lives destroyed.

Dr. Kamansky wrote:

The White House Logs show that there were 12 messages to Johnson- without a signature- in Mathilde Krim’s handwriting – with a passion pink letterhead – delivered by Walt Rostow National Security Advisor of Committee 303 to Johnson at 6 pm the day before Israel attacked LIBERTY on 8 June 1967.

Mathilde was a Catholic who converted to Judaism when she met Mr. Stern a Bulgarian Jew of the IRGUN and STERN GANG in 1949.

After his death she ‘married’ Mr. Krim, a CEO at United Artists who had a home with a helipad.

Mr. Krim was President Johnson’s Hollywood money connection.

Walt Rostow personally delivered Krim’s unsigned letters to Johnson.

He was NOT a delivery boy and why didn’t Krim sign her name on her perfumed pink papered letters to LBJ?

How closely did Walt Rostow know Mathelde? Were they both MOSSAD?

Mathelde was all over the W.H. logs, as were her eyes and ears in the Lincoln bedroom.

Every letter shows that she wanted Johnson to STOP making neutral comments in any pending war and to COMMITT to supporting Israel.

He did not do this until AFTER the attack.

Mathilde entered the White House many times before and after the attack.

Israel told her to tell Johnson to not send planes to help the Liberty.

And to cover up the truth. He did just that.

Krim was the wife of a rather insignificant citizen who wielded power over Johnson unlike his own wife.

Now immediately after the USS Liberty attack she told Johnson in his Lincoln bedroom not to use the State Dept. to contact Israel but use her connection to Israel to find out what to do.

The Rostow brothers were also involved…[End Dr. Kamansky]

In 1916, Walt Whitman Rostow was born into a Russian Jewish immigrant family in New York City.

He joined the State Department under John F. Kennedy and became Lyndon Johnson’s national security adviser during America’s war on Vietnam, from April 1966 to January 1969.

Rostow was known as a hawk and has been labeled “America’s Rasputin.”

In this photo Walt Rostov is third from the left, speaking to Lyndon Johnson in the Oval Office in 1967.

According to the limited information at Wikipedia regarding Rostow we learn:

While working as national security advisor, Rostow became involved in setting the United States’ posture towards Israel.

Although he supported military and economic assistance to Israel, Rostow believed that increased public alignment between the two states could run counter to US diplomatic and oil interests in the region.

After reviewing the May 1967 report from the Atomic Energy Commission team that had inspected Dimona along with other intelligence, Rostow informed President Johnson that, though the team found no evidence of a nuclear weapons program, “there are enough unanswered questions to make us want to avoid getting locked in too closely with Israel.”

Concerns about Israel’s nuclear program were tabled by the United States during the build-up to the Six-Day War and its aftermath.

Regarding Rostow’s team who “found no evidence of a nuclear weapons program” at Dimona, this American reported in HEROES, MUSES and the Saga of Mordechai Vanunu:

In April 2015, The National Security Archive of George Washington University published documents detailing the discovery of Israel’s nuclear deceptions, debates over Israel’s lack of candor and efforts to pressure the Israelis to answer key questions about the Dimona during the Eisenhower years.

“If you don’t have the language to describe systems of power you can’t confront them” – Chris Hedges

Dirty dirty little fucking white men like Zuck-Chan-Berg and Sammy. Jews. Come one, Jews.

It is the tribe, the terrorists inside their DNA, whether punk Seinfeld with IDF assault rifles or Perverted Circumcised Jews in Occupied Palestine, or Zuck-Chan-Berger, or creeps like LGBTQA+ Altman:

KAREN HAO: Yeah, so, because AI, modern-day AI systems are trained on massive amounts of data, and they’re scraped — that’s scraped from the internet, you can’t actually pump that data directly into your AI model, because there are a lot of things within that data. It’s heavily polluted. It needs to be cleaned. It needs to be annotated. So, this is where data annotation firms come in. These are middle-man firms that hire contract labor to provide to these AI companies to do that kind of data preparation.

And OpenAI, when it was starting to think about commercializing its products and thinking about, “Let’s put text-generation machines that can spew any kind of text into the hands of millions of users,” they realized they needed to have some kind of content moderation. They needed to develop a filter that would wrap around these models and prevent these models from actually spewing racist, hateful and harmful speech to users. That would not make a very good, commercially viable product.

And so, they contracted these middle-man firms in Kenya, where the Kenyan workers had to read through reams of the worst text on the internet, as well as AI-generated text, where OpenAI was prompting its own AI models to imagine the worst text on the internet and then telling these Kenyan workers to detail — to categorize them in detailed taxonomies of “Is this sexual content? Is this violent content? How graphic is that violent content?” in order to teach its filter all the different categories of content it had to block.

And this is an incredibly uncommon form of labor. There are lots of other different types of contract labor that they use. But these workers, they’re paid a few bucks an hour, if at all. And just like the era of social media, these content moderators are left very deeply psychologically traumatized. And ultimately, there is no real philosophy behind why these workers are paid a couple bucks an hour and have their lives destroyed, and why AI researchers who also contribute to these models are paid million-dollar compensation packages simply because they sit in Silicon Valley, in OpenAI’s offices. That is the logic of empire, and that harkens back to my title, Empire of AI.

AMY GOODMAN: So, let’s go back to your title, Empire of AI, the subtitle, Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman’s OpenAI. So, tell us the story of Sam Altman and what OpenAI is all about, right through to the deal he just made in the Gulf, when President Trump, Sam Altman and Elon Musk were there.

KAREN HAO: Altman is very much a product of Silicon Valley. His career was first as a founder of a startup, and then as the president of Y Combinator, which is one of the most famous startup accelerators in Silicon Valley, and then the CEO of OpenAI. And there’s no coincidence that OpenAI ended up introducing the world to the scale-at-all-costs approach to AI development, because that is the way that Silicon Valley has operated in the entire time that Altman came up in it.

And so, he is a very strategic person. He is incredibly good at telling stories about the future and painting these sweeping visions that investors and employees want to be a part of. And so, early on at YC, he identified that AI would be one of the trends that could take off. And he was trying to build a portfolio of different investments and different initiatives to place himself in the center of various different trends, depending on which one took off. He was investing in quantum computing, he was investing in nuclear fusion, he was investing in self-driving cars, and he was developing a fundamental AI research lab. Ultimately, the AI research lab was the ones that started accelerating really quickly, so he makes himself the CEO of that company.

And originally, he started it as a nonprofit to try and position it as a counter to for-profit-driven incentives in Silicon Valley. But within one-and-a-half years, OpenAI’s executives identified that if they wanted to be the lead in this space, they “had to” go for this scale-at-all-costs approach — and “had to” should be in quotes. They thought that they had to do this. There are actually many other ways to develop AI and to have progress in AI that does not take this approach.

But once they decided that, they realized the bottleneck was capital. It just so happened Sam Altman is a once-in-a-generation fundraising talent. He created this new structure, nesting a for-profit arm within the nonprofit, to become this fundraising vehicle for the tens of billions, and ultimately hundreds of billions, that they needed to pursue the approach that they decided on. And that is how we ultimately get to present-day OpenAI, which is one of the most capitalistic companies in the history of Silicon Valley, continuing to raise hundreds of billions, and, Altman has joked, even trillions, to produce a technology that ultimately has a middling economic impact thus far.

British Museum Criticized by Staffers for Allowing Israeli Embassy to Host Party Celebrating Israel’s Independence.

The party took place on May 13 and included Tzipi Hotovely, the Israeli ambassador to the UK, and Labour MP Maria Eagle as speakers. Kemi Badenoch, the leader of the Conservatives, and Nigel Farage, the leader of the Reform UK party, were also in attendance. British comedian Jimmy Carr hosted the event.

Days after the event, UK media organization Middle East Eye reported that the event was not advertised and the museum’s staff were asked to leave early.

Party down, Jews and Israeli lovers.

For many Palestinians, the anniversary represents the “Nakba” (translated as “catastrophe” in Arabic) because it marks the forcible displacement of approximately 750,000 Palestinians from their ancestral lands.

Pro-Palestine group Energy Embargo for Palestine, as well as the pro-Israel groups Stop the Hate and Our Fight UK, protested in London on the night of the party.

“It is not possible that neither the director nor the chair of the board of trustees were aware of this event, nor is it possible that they did not fully understand the implications of it,” Venetia Porter, the British Museum’s ex-curator of Islamic art and contemporary Middle Eastern art, told TAN. “To host such a partisan event when we know that there is an ongoing genocide seems to be anathema to what I always treasured about the British Museum.”

These people need gasoline in their veins.

Only 24 CEOs on the 2025 Fortune 500 list are founders or co-founders of the companies they lead. That amounts to just 4.8% of the index. Yet this small group commands outsized influence.

Collectively, their companies generated $862.9 billion in revenue last year, proving that founder-led companies are still just capable of competing as they scale.

While the number of founder-CEOs is unchanged from 2024, it marks a five-year increase from 16 in 2020. Some of the most iconic companies that were featured on the list at the time—such as AmazonFedEx, and Netflix—are no longer run by their founders. But even as some founders have stepped aside, others remain firmly in control, particularly in the tech sector, where founder-CEOs continue to dominate. They include Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Elon Musk of Tesla, and Jensen Huang of Nvidia.

US official pleaded to keep Harvard national security grant, court records show

Fucked up story on SO many levels:

A Pentagon official begged her bosses not to cancel a Harvard University grant aimed at curtailing biological threats, arguing that pulling it would pose “grave and immediate harm to national security.”

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s (DARPA) director of contracting said the grant funded a Harvard research team that had reached a “pivotal juncture” in a project addressing the “biological threat landscape,” according to Monday court filings in the university’s lawsuit against the Trump administration, first reported by The Boston Globe.

The official was unnamed in the filings.

Harvard, which is suing the administration over roughly $2.5 billion in frozen funding, has declared the cuts to be illegal and haphazard and obtained government records to prove their case.

In the filing, the lawyers detail the risk of cutting off funding to projects related to public health and national security concerns.

In one instance, Harvard researchers were working on a military project known as the AMPHORA program, aimed at increasing awareness of emerging biological threats, when the Department of Defense (DOD) on May 12 informed the university it had terminated the grant funding the effort, according to a memorandum filed by Harvard’s lawyers in federal court.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth directed the cancellation of that military grant, as well as others, the filing notes.

White Cunts ALL around: Psychosis!

Elon Musk is continuing his attacks on President Donald Trump’s signature bill on Wednesday with a barrage of posts on X slamming the megabill, saying in one that no one “should be able to stomach it,” while another instructed his more than 200 million followers to call members of Congress to “KILL the BILL.”

Musk, who until recently had largely scaled back posting about politics, on Wednesday alone has already posted or helped amplify posts on X criticizing the bill more than 25 times.

“Mammoth spending bills are bankrupting America! ENOUGH,” Musk wrote in one post.

Soulless:

Cunts everywhere:

[The airstrip and hangar at Michael Boren’s Hell Roaring Ranch in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area in Idaho, May 30, 2025.]

Michael Boren, founder of a billion-dollar tech company, Idaho ranch owner and Trump donor, has clashed with the U.S. Forest Service for years.

He was accused of flying a helicopter dangerously close to a crew building a Forest Service trail, prompting officials to seek a restraining order. He got a caution from the Forest Service, and criticism from his neighbors, when he built a private airstrip on his Hell Roaring Ranch in a national recreation area. And in the fall, the Forest Service sent a cease-and-desist letter accusing a company that Boren controlled of building an unauthorized cabin on National Forest land.

Now, Boren is President Donald Trump’s nominee to oversee the very agency he has tussled with repeatedly.

On Tuesday, the Senate Agriculture Committee held a confirmation hearing on Boren’s nomination to be the undersecretary of agriculture for natural resources and environment, a role that would put him in charge of the Forest Service.

At the hearing, Boren described his past interactions with the Forest Service as “oppressive” but said that he and the agency had “always come around to a settlement that works for everyone.” He said he would follow the advice of government ethics lawyers on matters in which he had a conflict of interest.

If confirmed, he would manage an agency that oversees almost 200 million acres of public lands across the United States, including maintaining trails, coordinating wildfire response and overseeing the sale of timber and other resources. He would also oversee the Natural Resources Conservation Service, which helps farmers and ranchers conserve natural resources on their own land.

These white psychotic chlamydia capitalists:

President Donald Trump said in a social media post that he wants the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ on his desk by July 4.

If Republicans in the U.S. Senate pass the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” Oregonians currently enrolled in Medicaid are more likely than people in nearly any other state to lose coverage and end up uninsured, according to analyses from several national think tanks.

The budget reconciliation bill reduces federal spending using a number of policies that will cut enrollment in Medicaid, including a work requirement for some and more frequent eligibility checks for all. The work requirement would take effect in January 2027.

Hopscotching around the evil being Judaism as it is practiced and held in high regard in Israel (sic) and throughout the world.

This regrettable reality leads me to something Caitlin Johnstone, the Australian commentator, observed recently in a piece published under the headline, “Israel is a uniquely evil society.”

It takes a special kind of evil to encourage the wholesale slaughter of babies and children, as Feiglin does. Johnstone references his public statements as an example of the depravity of Israeli society as a whole:

Israel is a uniquely evil society. I don’t think that’s an unfair or unreasonable thing to say. Many other nations do evil things and many other nations have murderous extremists, but what other nations have their own mainstream politicians saying this sort of thing on mainstream television? I can’t think of any.

new poll shared by Israel’s Channel 13 News found that most Israelis still don’t believe their government has to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza. It’s not just the leaders. It’s not just the fringe wingnuts. It’s a whole country full of sociopaths. Israel’s atrocities in Gaza are the result of what Israelis are as a collective. The entire nation is heartless and fucked in the head.

Evil? Beyond Evil:

To keep their children busy in the hot summer sun of West Asia, Israeli parents have a very Israeli solution: they get their children as young as six to dress up as “terrorists” or shoot “terrorists” using an assortment of weapons employed by the Israeli occupation forces.

“A center in the country called Fauda Base offers children aged six and up the opportunity to become undercover agents, practice shooting weapons, dress up as terrorists, and play as fighters taking over an Arab village,” reports Israeli outlet HaMakom. The summer base is named after the Netflix series, Fauda, which depicts a commander of the Israeli Musta’ribeen (Mista’arvim in Hebrew) unit, pursuing Palestinian resistance fighters. The camp is run in collaboration with Yes, the producers of the television series, and its instructors are alumni of the Israeli occupation forces.

The musta’ribeen are Arabic-speaking and Arab-looking Israelis who are used by the occupation to infiltrate the Palestinian resistance and civil society in order to extract vital information.

Fauda Base, according to HaMakom, “simulates a day in the life of a fighter in a special undercover unit, and invites participants — whether they are six years old or scoutmasters — to take part in a special operation.”

From HaMakom:

First, visitors to the complex “will hear about a security incident that has occurred and receive an operational order.” In order to comply with the operational order, “participants will have to become an operational combat team in an undercover unit,” and undergo “a series of training sessions that include shooting training, combat in built-up areas, hand-to-hand combat, and more.”

“In our activities, you can shoot all types of weapons used by special forces,” the [Fauda Base] website says. “M4 rifles, Glock pistols, Tavor rifles, Uzis, sniper rifles, Kalashnikov rifles and more!” To get into the atmosphere, they will also receive combat equipment that includes personal weapons, commando uniforms, or undercover clothing — “all depending on their role in the force,” it says. “Some will play terrorists, some innocent civilians, and some undercover.” The participants wear keffiyeh, galabeya, and a variety of beards. They also paint their teeth to make them look dirty or missing.

Finally, the participants move to “Al Mahmoudiyah” — “our village, which includes a small market, a restaurant and several buildings, where Fauda’s special activities take place.” During a conversation with the complex’s representative, it was clarified to us that this is an activity involving “a lot of laughter and fun.”

That “special activity” involves shooting plastic or porcelain balls at “jumping targets”: targets marked in advance in the village area, with the shooting carried out alongside instructors. Another stop is Krav Maga games. While the website states that the activity is allowed for ages 15 and up (and in its English version, ages 12 and up), in a phone call we were told that age six is the lower limit — even for shooting training.

The U.S. Marshals always get their kill shot — and a young man, young woman, and two five-year-old children swarmed by SOG, special operations group/gang, in Michigan, and the man bleeds out, the kids are in the house traumatized, and the mother is swarmed in the town getting groceries.

I expected to get deep into this Oregon organization’s amazing work, Freedom Farms, working with released inmates to heal, to get back into just plain normal breathing health, working the land, crops, harvests.

Lindsey McNab I met in Ashland, at a farmer’s market, May 2025, and it was just by chance I was there and headed over to the market. Sean was there as well as Lindsey.

This shit works, plying skin to earth, feeding seeds and seedlings, watching lettuce, asparagus, bok choy, potatoes, et al, grow. Yoga and listening circles, sun, rain, moles, dogs, chickens . . . Care Goddamn People.

Go see the images here at their website: Through the Lens of Giving: Freedom Farms in Pictures

Now, I prepped today’s hour interview by reading a story or two on Freedom Farms and Lindsey: KTVZ21

Participants like Lindsey McNab are proof of the program’s impact. Just six months ago, McNab was behind bars. Now, she spends her days tending to bok choy, turnips, and asparagus, work that she says is helping her find a new sense of purpose.

“I do struggle on a daily basis with[thinking] ‘oh my gosh, I lost 16 months, Like, what do I need to do to make up for that?’ And there isn’t really anything I can do.” McNab said. “Working in a setting like this and this type of work in general forces you and teaches you to be more present.”

McNab said her time in prison offered few moments of peace or even daylight.

“The jail where I was at, we didn’t really even get to see outside. There were no windows and things,” she said. “So that in and of itself creates a lot of emotional, mental anxiety and stress.”

She did get reintroduced to farming through a prison garden program, a rare but meaningful opportunity that helped her cope.

Upon release, she found Freedom Farms, a sanctuary for former inmates ready to rebuild their lives.

But the reality of the Gestapo Criminal injustice system hit us early into the interview for my weekly radio show, Finding Fringe, to air July 2, KYAQ.org, 6 pm PST:

A story about Giovanni and his daughter.

Google the story, with Giovanni McNab and Lindsey and Michigan, and you get the warped story of the cops, the deputies, the overreach that ended up in the death of the young father Giovanni while his two children were inside the cabin as he bled out from a chest wound from a SWAT snipe weapon.

Lindsey was off the property getting groceries, and she was swarmed by U.S. Marshals and their cadre of police. She had no idea there were warrants out for their arrest, and alas, she had no idea what was happening to her two children and her husband.

Here, from Jacob, Giovanni’s brother: August 10, 2023. Jacob McNab

+—+

Giovanni McNab was a hero. He died last night protecting his daughter Hanna Joy McNab. He stood up against insurmountable odds, probably knowing full well that he would not come out of it alive. I am glad no law enforcement lost their lives in the standoff, they were just doing their duty. But my brother was doing his duty, the most sacred duty — a father protecting his child.

This is what Hanna told my brother, Gio, and his new wife Lindsey McNab. Hanna’s mother, Natalie Jones, and her boyfriend, Cory Lutzen (a convicted felon for abuse of an 18-month baby) physically, emotionally, mentally, and sexually abused Hanna. This was recurring abuse. Hanna’s forensic interview is currently on file at Kid’s Harbor but its release has been blocked by law enforcement because it may “endanger the child”… My brother did everything right by going through our country’s legal system, but the system in Missouri must work differently than other places. The most damning evidence to protect my niece, and my family were blocked by the judge. He was treated with hostility by all those who were supposed to protect children.

When he refused to give her up to her abusers, a federal parental kidnapping charge was placed on him and his wife, Lindsey.

Lindsey was arrested when she was out, probably getting groceries. Gio was killed in a standoff with police where a marshal was also injured but is in stable condition.

Hanna is currently being given back to the very people she herself named as her abusers.

I beg someone if you can do anything, please help me get custody of her. If you ask anyone about me, they will vouch for my character and that I will give her the love and care she needs. My wife and I will be able to provide her security and a future. Please don’t let my brother die in vain.

Please follow and share our page Save Hanna McNab.

Here’s my interview June 4, 2025 of Lindsey. Hold onto your emotional seats. KYAQ.org will air it July 2, Finding Fringe: Voices from the Edge.

Yeah, what would you do, uh, if your baby was raped by your ex-wife’s boyfriend?

Look, listen to the show above. And, yes, this involves a minor, a child (three others), and the widow Lindsey has gone through several circles of hell — the husband’s ex-wife’s choice of boyfriends, the child’s rape by that boyfriend, the entire issue of parenting plans and children held as pawns sometimes. The criminal injustice system, social services, case workers, CASA, and the Kafka-esque levels of paperwork and bureaucratic rape this capitalism unleashes upon us.

Here, a post on the Facebook pages around this case:

Stop leaving your kids with them.

Stop leaving your children with your boyfriends you barely know.

Stop letting your family members you don’t entirely trust watch them because it’s free.

If you have a gut feeling about someone who doesn’t sit right with you when it comes to your child, cut all ties with this person.

If your little one comes to you and says I don’t want to stay with a particular person …. do me a favor and listen to them.

~ Cody Bret

And ALWAYS believe them!! I myself would rather believe them and be wrong, than call them a liar and be wrong.

Here’s one of the family members, a dog, the pigs shot: “This is Rigor. He also died protecting Hanna. Please show him love. My brother did not go to heaven alone.”

Ahh, the Show Me State:

Langston Hughes, Tennessee Williams, T.S. Eliot, Kate Chopin and Maya Angelou also hailed from the “show me” state. Edward Michael Harrington Jr. was an American democratic socialist. As a writer, he was best known as the author of The Other America. He was from the show me state too.

Missouri is filled with great stories – and has been home to many amazing storytellers, past and present. Since most of them have written more than one book, you can spend hours escaping into the worlds they created.

Mark Twain (1835-1910) was born in Florida, Missouri, and grew up in Hannibal. William Faulkner called him “the father of American literature” and he’s been lauded as “the greatest humorist this country has ever produced.” His some 25 books include classics like The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which is often called the Great American Novel.

Laura Ingalls Wilder (1867-1957) was born in Wisconsin but spent her adult life in Mansfield. During the Great Depression, she began penning stories about her pioneering childhood, which became the classic Little House on the Prairie nine-book children’s series and 1970s television show.

T.S. Eliot (1888-1965) was born in St. Louis but moved to England at the age of 25. One of the 20th century’s major poets, he wrote at least 13 books and received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1948. His Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, published in 1939, was adapted by Andrew Lloyd Webber as the basis for the musical, Cats.

Langston Hughes (1901-1967) was raised by his grandmother in Joplin until he was 13. After extensive travel during his adult years, he moved to Washington, D.C. where he published his first book of poetry, The Weary Blues, in 1924. Once he graduated from Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, he began writing in earnest, starting with his first novel, Not Without Laughter, which won the Harmon gold medal for literature. He is recognized as a major contributor of the Harlem Renaissance.

Robert Heinlein (1902-1988) was born in Butler. Known as the “dean of science fiction writers”, Heinlein wrote more than 30 books, some of which have been made into TV series and movies, including Stranger in a Strange Land and Starship Troopers. A never-before-published Heinlein novel was released in 2020 – 32 years after his death. The Pursuit of the Pankera was reconstructed from pages of an original manuscript and author’s notes with no additional filler, so the work is entirely his own.

Maya Angelou (1928-2014) was born Marguerite Johnson in St. Louis. A leading literary voice of the Black community, she wrote more than a dozen books of prose and poetry. Her best-selling account of her upbringing in segregated rural Arkansas, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, won critical acclaim in 1970.

George Hodgman (1959-2019) returned to his Missouri roots in Madison and Paris for his highly-praised, best-selling memoir Bettyville. The brutally honest, witty and poignant tale explores the experience of a gay cosmopolitan New Yorker returning to a small town filled with both affectionate and painful memories to care for a mother with dementia.

Alexandra Ivy calls Hannibal home and is perhaps the most prolific writer on our list. The New York Times and USA Today best-selling author, who also writes under the name Deborah Raleigh, has published more than 70 books in a wide variety of genres from paranormal and erotic romance to historical and romantic suspense.

Allen Eskens grew up in central Missouri before moving to Minnesota to earn degrees in journalism and law. He uses his education and 25 years of experience in criminal law to write thrilling crime mysteries. His eight books revolve around the events that occur in a small community as told by four main characters: Joe Talbert, Boady Sanden, Lila Nash and Max Rupert. Esken’s first novel, The Life We Bury, has been published in 26 languages.

Daniel Woodrell lives in the Missouri Ozarks where he has drawn inspiration for six of his nine novels and The Outlaw Album, a collection of 12 short stories. His novel, Winter’s Bone, tells the story of Ree Dolly and her quest to find her absent father in order to protect her two young brothers. Along the way she learns dark family secrets and her own determination. The book was adapted to film in 2010 and won American Film Institute Movie of the Year in 2011.

Jim Butcher is an Independence native who wrote his first book in The Dresden Files series – about a professional wizard named Harry Dresden who works as a private investigator and battles supernatural bad guys in modern-day Chicago – when he was 25. The New York Times best-selling author has written 17 books in the series, as well as a six-book fantasy series, Codex Alera.

Gillian Flynn is a Kansas City native with three novels to her credit – Sharp Objects, Dark Places, Gone Girl, and The Grownup – all of which have been adapted for film or television, plus The Grownup, an Edgar Award-winning homage to the classic ghost story. She was nominated for the Golden Globe, Writers Guild of America Award and BAFTA Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for Gone Girl.

Shayne Silvers writes supernatural thrillers – prolifically – from his home in Ozark. He has three separate intertwined series of books featuring Nate Temple, a wizard trying to protect St. Louis from monsters, myths and legends … Callie Penrose, a female spell-slinger in Kansas City … and Quinn MacKenna, a black arms dealer in Boston. The book count in his “Templeverse” stands at 40, and he has also authored a separate three-book vampire series.

Nearly one in five people in U.S. prisons—over 260,000 people—had already served at least 10 years as of 2019. This is an increase from 133,000 people in 2000—which represented 10% of the prison population in that year.

Go here and see just how corrupt and rudimentary vindictive our criminal injustice system is:

Okay, you get the picture.

In the 1980s, Jordan Merrell often played in the wilderness near his home, located in the Siuslaw Forest in Lincoln County. Jordan was adopted by Carol Van Strum and husband Paul Merrell when he was days old in 1979. (Photos courtesy of Carol van Strum)

Opinion | A letter a day for 15 years and 9 months

FINDING FRINGE | A mother’s love reaches into the bowels of the Oregon penal system to keep her son afloat

by Paul K. Haeder | 26 Aug 2020

I catch her in the early evening. Two black bears cross the road just before turning onto her driveway.

It’s light out, but I swear I saw two barn owls swooping into a stand of apple trees.

After I am finished with the interview, she will hold court under the stars with her two Sicilian donkeys, an old mare, a cockatiel, and Amazonian and Patagonia parrots as company. A black Lab mix, Mike, is the outdoor shadow, her sentinel.

A single barrel 12-gauge shotgun is “just in case.”

A periodic column profiling unconventional Oregonians who push the boundaries of social order.

I’m on her 20 acres about 30 miles by road from Waldport. The stories Carol Van Strum unfolds are a dervish through many labyrinths. She has been in the Siuslaw Forest for 46 years, but her origins start in 1940, at the dawn of World War II. Her roots were first set down in Port Chester in Westchester County, N.Y., with a father who went to Cornell and a mother who supported the whims and avocations of their five daughters.

At age 79, she’s spry enough to live in an old garage converted into a great room with a bedroom loft. Her cherub cheeks belie an Irish heritage.

I got to know Carol Van Strum a year ago when I was researching her life and her own research on deadly chemicals for another piece — about her fight against the chemical purveyors who sell their brew of toxins to cities, counties and industries like the timber barons.


Q&A: Environmentalist Carol Van Strum: Do not believe anything they tell you


Carol’s raison d’etre is the nonfiction gem “A Bitter Fog: Herbicides and Human Rights,” written in 1983, which follows the case of Carol; her husband, Steve; four children (all of whom perished in a suspicious fire in their cabin); neighbors; residents of Lincoln County; and their battle with the state of Oregon, chemical companies, the EPA and the U.S. Forest Service.

The mother

The intrigue behind today’s meeting — her 40-year-old adopted son’s 15 years and nine months of incarceration for a crime he didn’t commit — ties into the many strands to her web of life that easily could be fodder for movie makers.

In the verdant wonder of the old homestead, we are about to crack open a pitiful story that turns into triumph.

The miscarriage of justice has to do with race, those without money getting the proverbial short shrift, and a punishment and retributive system of criminal injustice that wants a piece of flesh of every targeted human being.

Portraits of Jordan and Carol

I am here to drill down into Jordan Merrell’s figurative hell after being wrongly prosecuted and convicted of first-degree murder with a 25-to-life sentence under Oregon’s infamous Measure 11 mandatory minimum sentencing guidelines. That was 1995.

Carol and a second husband, Paul Merrell, adopted Jordan when he was days old in 1979.

“It was a doctor’s friend who had a friend who was a midwife who said she had an African American baby boy who would find it hard to be adopted. His biological mother did not want the baby.”

The young Jordan lived an amazing life with animals, under the big sky of the Central Oregon Coast Range, while communing with fruit trees and adventures splashing in streams while studying newts and chasing crazy barn owls. He played baseball and basketball at Waldport High School, one of two Black students at the school.

The son

The story of a 15-year-old boy accused of murdering an elderly man is rare indeed. Two 14-year-old girls accused him of the crime, even though, as Carol points out, Jordan wasn’t even near the man’s house — where the murder took place. Jordan possessed no bicycle, nor a vehicle, making it impossible for him to have been at the scene of the crime.

It turns out one of the girls had already attempted murdering her grandfather for money, but her juvenile record was sealed and denied as evidence in Jordan’s trial. His court-appointed defense attorney never called three witnesses who would have placed Jordan 3.8 miles away from the murder.

Jordan’s juvenile years were striated in Oregon’s MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility, and when he turned 18, his life transitioned into a veritable crisscrossing of cycling in and out of all of Oregon’s prisons.

Through the hellish trial, then the early days of anger tied to wrongful incarceration, transitioning into years surviving by grit and wits, and finally graduating to learn how to mete out an existence in a dangerous world, Jordan still lands back on the power of his mother keeping him centered.

He explains that Carol is his guardian angel. “Literally, she wrote me a letter every single day. If that’s not dedication, I don’t know what is,” he said.

Jordan’s stick-to-it-ness comes from his school of hard knocks and Carol’s perseverance, as well as this undying dedication to construct a lifeline of letters, books and visits.

“You know, when he went to his first adult prison, there were three Black men who took Jordan under their protection. These men showed him the ropes and protected him. Jordan was a pretty naïve and unworldly kid when he was arrested,” Carol tells me.

The rotten aspect of Jordan’s ordeal is tied to a broken legal system of bad cops, duplicitous district attorneys, incompetent defense lawyers and mean-as-cuss judges. Add to those many strikes against the teenage Draconian constraints of legislation like Measure 11.

“I didn’t have a defense really. He was a low-level lawyer,” Jordan said. “The way the legal system works is that it gets you into a corner and forces you to make a plea bargain.” At the first trial in Lane County, Jordan did not enter a plea agreement. “I didn’t know much then. The attorney tried to step down during my defense.”

The crisscrossing of incarceration blues started with Oregon Corrections’ intake center, then McLaren Youth Correctional Facility, then Oregon State Penitentiary.

In 2008, he won an appeal based on evidence of reasonable doubt — and because the attorney in the initial trial did not call witnesses.

“In this case we found that the defendant did not have effective counsel,” said Stephanie Soden, a spokesperson for the Department of Justice, at the time. “It’s a fairly common reason to petition for post-conviction relief, but it’s one that’s rarely granted.”

He got a new plea deal outside of Measure 11 minimums, and the sentence was reduced, with credit for time served. He tells me he did not think he could convince a new jury of his innocence.

“I assure you I didn’t do what I confessed,” he wrote in a letter to his mother. “But it’s time to move on.”

After his resentencing, he ended up in Lane County jail. More moves to Umatilla County Correctional Facility, Deer Ridge Correctional Institution in Madras, and then Pendleton to Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution, and his last stop was Columbia River Correctional Institution.

He wrote essays during his time inside the wire, and this is from one he wrote when he was “fresh out:”

I walked quickly down the access road that led to the prison — as though the guards might change their minds and chase me down. The immediate area was semi-rural, the access road leading to a small highway that meandered ten blocks or so onto a main boulevard running north and south through much of the city. … I walked for miles through the outskirts of the city, stopping at numerous small stores, none of which accepted my debit card.

Finally, I came to a gas station where the clerk informed me that not only could I not get change from the card, there were no pay phones for miles! This was my first experience of the kindness I had forgotten humans naturally have an instinct for. The clerk let me use his cell phone to call a friend, and when I couldn’t operate it (it appeared to have no buttons — I thought about trying to give it a voice command) he dialed it for me.

“Early on I was angry, but when I got out, I was euphoric,” Jordan tells me. He ended up at a community house in Multnomah County — run by Phoenix Rising Transitions.

He emphasizes being around other guys just like him who understood his way of thinking was powerful. Learning new responsibilities at the house helped Jordan during the four months of halfway house living.

“It was a good way of transitioning, as opposed to ending up in a studio apartment by myself. Outside, people were rude and disrespectful, so having guys from prison on the same page made it easier since we understood where we had come from and understood our way of thinking,” he said.

Jordan was halfway through the ninth grade when he was incarcerated. He knows how tough it is in prison finding role models.

“While inside, I focused on change. I had to create an imaginary role model. It all comes down to being logical about things — is doing A going to get me to B and so on.”

When he was released, on a few occasions Jordan ran into fellow inmates who still stayed “involved in all the illegal stuff. They hung onto what they did that got them to prison in the first place.”

His best friend (one of only a few friends) is back in prison because of this arrested development.

Stepping stones inside and outside the wire

I ask Jordan what he aspired to be in his formative years.

“I guess I wanted to be a cop,” he said chuckling. He ended up out of prison working on a degree in accounting, married and with a 10-year-old stepdaughter.

His life moved quickly in some regards once outside the wire — he met Julie three weeks after leaving prison. Then three weeks later they were married. They have been a couple since 2013.

Both Carol and Jordan tell me Julie is a smart woman who’s organized and into logistics. Jordan said they both had aspirations of doing a catering service — a mobile pub or bar. The pandemic has put all those ideas on hold. He’s at Mt. Hood Community College taking classes for an associate degree. He’s also out on parole for life. While he doesn’t report in person anymore, he’s still charged a $35 per month supervision fee.

He continually reminds me of evolution, transformation and transmogrification now that he has family and purpose.

“I have left that part of my life behind. I am now doing something specifically focused on getting my life together and being devoted to my family. I lost almost 16 years of my life. I had no job experience, no life experience (outside of prison), no education.”

He mentions this after I prod him about why he’s not writing more, maybe even penning a memoir.

Jordan admits it’s possible a book might come later. “Before, when I was writing, I was in a cell for 23 or more hours a day. I had nothing else to do, so I could focus on the writing. Maybe later when I am more established.”

Overt racism Jordan endured in high school, Carol relays, was both ugly and absurd. “The only Black kid at Waldport High School. He was pulled out of class by the principal and was accused of being a gang member. How absurd — a gang of one.”

Much of Carol’s novel, “Oreo File,” is patterned after a young boy like Jordan.

While looking at her heritage corn stalks, I am gifted several books by Carol, including “Cross Country ABC: 1957,” which is an account of the trip she and two sisters took across the U.S. in a 1956 Chevy station wagon.

Then another book, penned in 2009, “The Story of a Barn – Alder Hill.” The barn was on her property, built in 1930 by Elihu Buck, an engineer who had worked on the Gold State Bridge. This gem of a short book is a history of the property, the surrounding homesteads, the trees, the creamery in Waldport as well as the Red Octopus Theatre performances premiering in the barn.

This is part and parcel of Jordan’s history, too, as he knows the land and knows the place. It’s tied up in his spiritual and cultural DNA. The book written by Carol as a tribute to Jordan is another gem – “Northern Spy: A Good Apple Tree.” The book is like a narrative poem about Jordan’s life here, from adopted baby to child to teenager.

On the hillside by the house is a grand old apple tree called Northern Spy. It was planted at the birth of a beautiful child.

Then, later:

Far away behind steel and concrete, the boy grew into a man. His faithful dog Sherlock died without seeing him again.

Then, at the end of the book, Jordan is a 33-year-old man, with his wife, Julie:

There would be difficult times ahead, looking for work, finding a place to live, enrolling in college. But good times awaited, too. By summer there would be someone to share both happy times and tough ones. Someone to take home at last and show where he came from.

“That’s my redwood,” he would say. “I planted it. And see beyond it, that’s my apple tree.”

He would show her the river, the donkey, the gardens, the flowers, an iguana’s grave.

And come fall there would be buckets of apples from his beloved Northern Spy.




The 785-foot-tall Larry Silverstein structure designed by CetraRuddy Architecture and Steelman Partners will feature a gaming facility, 1,000-room hotel, as well as dining and entertainment

  • Larry Silverstein is the chairman and founder of Silverstein Properties, a New York-based real estate development firm.
  • Silverstein Partners owns nearly 16 million square feet of office, residential and retail properties in the U.S., including 7 World Trade Center in Manhattan.
  • Silverstein signed a 99-year lease on the World Trade Center towers for $3.2 billion in July 2001, seven weeks before the 9/11 attacks.
  • Silverstein Properties and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey ultimately received a $4.55 billion insurance payout and built new towers on the site.
  • The firm developed the 7, 2 and 3 World Trade Center office towers. A fourth building, 5 World Trade Center, will be a residential high-rise when it’s complete.

New designs have been released for The Avenir, a 45-story mixed-use tower in Hell’s Kitchen being developed in a joint venture between Silverstein Properties, Rush Street Gaming, and Greenwood Gaming and Entertainment. The 785-foot-tall structure designed by CetraRuddy Architecture and Steelman Partners will feature a gaming facility, 1,000-room hotel, as well as dining and entertainment. If approved, the building is expected to create 4,000 construction jobs, more than 5,000 permanent jobs, and opportunities for local business and community participation.

Oh, that conspiracy?

No one can be too sure of what Lucky Larry meant when he said “pull it”. It is rather shady though, when you consider at least one of his additional slip-ups.

Take this one for example when talking about the new WTC 7 during a speech in Israel:

“the first design meeting was in April of 2000, and construction began shortly there after in 2002”.

WTC 7 was the first to be cleaned up at ground zero, and the construction of the new WTC 7 started in 2002. It was the first WTC complex building to be completed.

It is difficult to see this as a slip-up because:

-He gives both a month and a year (April 2000)

-If he meant April of 2001, that is just as damning

-He could not have meant April of 2002, because that is when construction began

-While not impossible, it is highly improbable that from 9/12/01 to 4/02 they were able to choose an architect, approve Architect’s design, have engineers and architects draw master drawings, get all permits, etc.

Let’s take a look at this quote again:

“the first design meeting was in April of 2000, and construction began shortly thereafter in 2002”.

HE GLOSSES OVER THE EVENTS OF 9/11 LIKE THEY WERE NO SETBACK.

Larry Silverstein’s company, Silverstein Properties, owns and operates a significant portfolio of properties, including nearly 16 million square feet of commercial and residential space. This portfolio includes office towers, hotels, and residential buildings in various locations, including New York City, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles. Specifically, their portfolio includes properties like 30 Park Place, 120 Broadway, 120 Wall St., 1177 Sixth Ave., and several towers at the World Trade Center. They also developed and own the Four Seasons Resort at Walt Disney World.

Jeffrey Shapiro, in a column on Fox News, attempted to defend Silverstein by saying that on the day of 9/11, Larry was on the phone to his insurers to see if they would authorize the controlled demolition of WTC 7.

Some other issues surrounding Silverstein.

-Claimed he was at home when he got call alerting him about a plane flying into North Tower. Larry claimed he had a doctor’s appointment which is why he was not eating breakfast at the Windows of the World, like he did every other day. So why was he home when he got call?

-Larry demanded the building’s insurer add terrorism to policy, and cash pay out. After 9/11, Larry claimed he was entitled to two payouts because it was two separate planes, and thus two separate terrorist attacks.

-Tried to collect 10 billion from the two airlines of the four planes alleged to be hijacked.

In conclusion:

Larry’s use of the term “pull-it” is certainly shady but not enough to indict him. However, taken his other slips-ups and behavior into account, you would assume in a “just” society, Silverstein would have had to testify under oath during The 9/11 Commission’s investigation. But the report did not even mention WTC 7.

Here, from Redditt:

The conspiracy that was 9/11 was so vast and unprecedented in scale and scope that I frequently regard it as “The single most corrupt day in human history.”

9/11 was years in the making, requiring the collusion (or deception, as the case may be) of dozens of the most powerful and influential agencies in the world—both before and after the fact—and continuing to this day. These people (to use the term loosely) ran a right-wing think tank, at the time, called “Project For A New American Century.

PNAC wrote a report named “Rebuilding America’s Defenses. Everything the report called for would later happen— including “A new Pearl Harbor”—starting on 9/11. Look at the signature page, note the various agencies represented, then ask yourself, “Would all these powerful and influential people really come together and publish this report as an academic exercise?

This is the part where the unsophisticated parrot the standard talking point that such a thing “could not be done without any leaks.”Silverstein’s admission was a leak. One of many. The man on the street simply has a woefully outdated understanding of international intrigue. They still expect that the media would pick up any such leak(s) and widely publicize the story. That’s outdated information, too. The national media is no longer in the exposé business.

The Powers That Should Not Be have worked tirelessly, for decades, to adapt to change, and solve the kinds of problems that are endemic to the nature of ‘spy craft.’ They know how to deal with leaks.

[The current chairman (since 2017) of the Council is David Rubenstein, the billionaire co-founder of the Carlyle Group, a private equity firm. He is also a longtime major donor to the CFR, having given at least $5 million dollars in 2006–7 alone.33 In November 2020, Rubenstein teamed up with real estate developer Larry Silverstein to raise money for Israel by selling Israeli bonds. Their sales event was described as “an exclusive Israel Bonds real estate event industry viewed by over 1,000 participants from the U.S. and Canada.”34]

93 Fucking Evil Years OLD:

There are many ways of dealing with leaks, now, of which John Q. Public neither knows—nor wants to know—and that is the primary method. As long as people want to believe that their government is unfailingly righteous, the majority can be expected to accept any and every denial of government wrongdoing, no matter how unlikely or implausible said denial might be. Once lies reach the point of patently absurd, gaslighting is achieved. The masses can simply be told what to see.

These same people lack the will and the wherewithal to refute what should be obvious deceptions and/or incongruities. They can be expected to expend exactly zero effort uncovering a truth that would only present them with an uncomfortable reality—at best. There’s just no reward for learning painful truths, as they would have to stop feeling protected by their government, and start facing the possibility that they might be threatened, instead.

Once they’ve dug their heels in, the predictable majority can always be subsequently turned on the few exceptions who can also be reliably anticipated. All they have to do is say, “conspiracy nut,” or a similar intellectual perishable that hasn’t been clever since the 1970’s; woefully outdated. In any event, there are other ways of dealing with leaks, but this is the major reason the majority perceive that there are none: It’s simply what they want to hear.

Everything was wrong with the collapse of WTC7. There were fires, but they were nowhere near capable of causing the collapse that we saw—unless we were told to see something else. The fires in the picture below seem like they could and/or should have been extinguished by the sprinkler system, begging the question “why weren’t they extinguished by the sprinkler system?

Moreover, the fires are several floors apart. They don’t appear to be a single incident, exhibiting a pattern consistent with splash damage—mind you, from an epicenter that is 700 ft away. Nothing else in the foreground exhibits any indication of splash damage. Given the situation, and the amount of evidence I have gathered, I’m going to take the liberty of raising the specter of two separate fires that were intentionally set to destroy documents.

WTC 7 was a collapse that shouldn’t have happened, couldn’t have been foreseen, and that was reported before it happened. A collapse that the building’s lessee went on record describing as a deliberate act. An act that couldn’t possibly have been both decided upon and carried out in one day, and most especially in response to (and in the midst of) allegedly unforeseen and chaotic events.

Silverstein spoke truth mixed with lies, but he was not a professional liar like his co-conspirators in the media; he wasn’t practiced enough. They probably shouldn’t have put a microphone in front of him, but what’s done is done. As soon as he said “pull,” the truth became exposed. That is controlled demolition parlance that just wasn’t common knowledge—at the time. Moreover, have you ever known a fire department to demolish a building? Neither have I; not before, nor since—yet Silverstein‘s words are unmistakable.

The truth about WTC7 is that it must have contained something that would have been fatal to the official narrative. Something so damaging that it was worth destroying the entire building to ensure that no physical evidence of that truth would ever be found. A truth so shameful that the same official 9/11 commission that devoted copious pages to incredibly boring filler material about firefighters’ radio reception in the towers decided it best to pretend that the collapse of an enormous, 47-story building didn’t happen at all. The official report makes no mention of the collapse of WTC7. None, whatsoever.

The 27th floor of WTC 7 had bomb-proof windows, and a self-contained air supply. It was listed on the building’s directory as the “mayor’s bunker,” only the one day you would think the sky bunker would be most useful, then-Mayor Giuliani was nowhere near it. Records show him stating that he’d set up an impromptu emergency response unit at 75 Bleeker Street—if memory serves.

No, something else was going on. Something so sinister that the government had to destroy an enormous, expensive structure, and then pretend that it never existed.

I submit that the 27th floor of WTC 7 housed the command center for the controlled demolition of the Twin Towers. Line of sight. Sufficiently tall and close. Leased by Larry Silverstein. It was the perfect lair for the soulless, secret demolition team.

However, so long as no one breaks character and the assault on truth seekers is maintained, the guilty will continue to enjoy all the plausible deniability you can get from a national media that is locked down, complicit, and/or in fear. The real perpetrators of 9/11 will continue to get away with crimes which, for lack of punishment, can be expected to only escalate.

Censorship at that fucking den of sicarios and hitmen, Oxford: This week on The Watchdog, Lowkey catches up with Palestinian writer Susan Abulhawa and hears about her trips to Gaza during the genocide. He also explores her experience with censorship at the Oxford Union over a speech she made there about Palestine and Zionism.

The frantic search to identify the draftsmen behind the Trump Administration’s intellectual blueprint can often seem like a fool’s errand—not least because the President is driven by whim and vendetta. Those around him, however, take ideas seriously, including the radical proposals of the neo-reactionary writer Curtis Yarvin.

A person in front of a curtain.

Nearly two decades ago, Yarvin began composing a sprawling apologia for an authoritarian takeover of the United States on his self-described “anti-democracy blog,” where he called for “liquidating” the government, abolishing the press, and putting a C.E.O.-king in charge of the country. In 2022, he presciently outlined a plan for Donald Trump to appoint a strike force of “ninjas” to parachute into government agencies and shut them down. But this mission would not be limited to D.C., Yarvin said. The organs of civil society—Harvard, the Times, N.G.O.s—would also need to be destroyed.

When I first heard about Yarvin, around 2015, from my roommate (a programmer who enjoyed reading political theory as a hobby; he has since become a historian), the blogger’s ideas seemed far-fetched, even comical. Now Vice-President J. D. Vance, the Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel, and the venture capitalist Marc Andreessen are among his most prominent fans. For a piece in this week’s issue, I spent dozens of hours in the past six months interviewing Yarvin—along with his family, friends, exes, former classmates, colleagues, and interlocutors—to better understand how a crankish software engineer, posting under the nom de internet Mencius Moldbug, became one of the country’s most influential illiberal thinkers. Yarvin often performs a pantomime of thinking, stitching his arguments together in a Trumpian fashion and jumping to conclusions that he proclaims as self-evident. A few weeks ago, he told me that “the right way for the international community to respond to Kim Jung Un” would be for Silicon Valley to buy North Korea for a hundred billion dollars—a deal that would be “done in a week, what an amazing property, it’s obvious when you think about it.”

Given the embrace of his ideas by some of the country’s most powerful figures, I expected to find Yarvin in triumphant spirits when I met him the weekend before Trump’s Inauguration. Instead, I was struck by the dismissive, almost contemptuous tone in which he spoke of the new Administration, as though a cult band he’d been following for years had suddenly gone mainstream. What many Americans view as a constitutional crisis, Yarvin regards as weak tea. Trump, he contends, has not gone nearly far enough.

In person, as in print, Yarvin expresses himself with imperious self-assurance. He is nearly impossible to interrupt. “When the rabbi is speaking, you let the rabbi speak,” Razib Khan, a right-wing science blogger and a close friend of Yarvin’s, told me. Even his friends and family, however, acknowledge that he has room to grow as a communicator. He talks in a halting monotone, rarely answers questions directly, and is prone to disorienting asides. In the middle of saying one thing, he is always getting distracted by something else he could be saying, like a G.P.S. that keeps suggesting faster routes.

Yarvin nearly ended up a libertarian. As a Bay Area coder and a devotee of Austrian-school economists in his late twenties, he exhibited all the risk factors. Then he discovered Hoppe’s book “Democracy: The God That Failed” (2001) and changed his mind. Yarvin soon adopted Hoppe’s imago of a benevolent strongman—someone who would govern efficiently, avoid senseless wars, and prioritize the well-being of his subjects. “It’s not copy-and-pasted, but it is such a direct influence that it’s kind of obscene,” Julian Waller, a scholar of authoritarianism at George Washington University, said. (Over e-mail, Hoppe recalled that he met Yarvin once at an exclusive gathering at Peter Thiel’s home, where Hoppe had been invited to speak. He acknowledged his influence on Yarvin, but added, “For my taste his writing has always been a bit too flowery and rambling.”) Hoppe argues that, unlike democratically elected officials, a monarch has a long-term incentive to safeguard his subjects and the state, because both belong to him. Anyone familiar with the history of dictatorships might find this idea disingenuous. Not Yarvin.

“You don’t ransack your own house,” he told me one afternoon, at an open-air café in Venice Beach. I’d asked him what would stop his C.E.O.-monarch from plundering the country—or enslaving his people—for personal gain. “For Louis XIV, when he says, ‘L’état, c’est moi,’ ransacking the state holds no meaning because it’s all his anyway.” Following Hoppe, Yarvin proposes that nations should eventually be broken up into a “patchwork” of statelets, like Singapore or Dubai, each with its own sovereign ruler. The eternal political problems of legitimacy, accountability, and succession would be solved by a secret board with the power to select and recall the otherwise all-powerful C.E.O. of each sovereign corporation, or SovCorp. (How the board itself would be selected is unclear, but Yarvin has suggested that airline pilots—“a fraternity of intelligent, practical, and careful people who are already trusted on a regular basis with the lives of others. What’s not to like?”—could manage the transition between regimes.) To prevent a C.E.O. from staging a military coup, the board members would have access to cryptographic keys that would allow them to disarm all government weapons, from nuclear missiles down to small arms, with the push of a button.

The German academic Hans-Hermann Hoppe is sometimes described as an intellectual gateway to the far right. A retired economics professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Hoppe argues that universal suffrage has supplanted rule by a “natural élite”; advocates for breaking nations into smaller, homogenous communities; and calls for communists, homosexuals, and others who oppose this rigid social order to be “physically removed.” (Some white nationalists have made memes pairing Hoppe’s face with a helicopter—an allusion to the Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet’s practice of executing opponents by throwing them from aircraft.) Though Hoppe favors a minimal state, he believes that freedom is better preserved by monarchy than by democracy

These fucking narcissistic and psychotic and perverse Jews must be sterilized. Look at this Jew Yorker journalist just go go go:

visited Lydia Laurenson, Yarvin’s ex-fiancée, in Berkeley. The two began dating in September, 2021, after Yarvin posted a personal ad on Substack, explaining that he’d recently lost his “widower virginity” and was looking to meet someone of “childbearing age.” Laurenson, a freelance writer and editor, replied the same day: “I have historically been a liberal but my IQ is really high, I want kids, and I’m incredibly curious to talk to you.” Yarvin went on Zoom dates with other women who answered the post—among them, Caroline Ellison, the ex-girlfriend of the now imprisoned crypto entrepreneur Sam Bankman-Fried—but he and Laurenson soon found themselves in an all-consuming romance. She told me that the ethos of her relationship with Yarvin was

“ ‘We’re going to be geniuses together and have genius babies.’ I’m making fun of it a little bit, but that really was it.”

Like Yarvin, Laurenson had been a precocious child who went to college early. She’d also maintained a blog with a cult following, where, under the pseudonym Clarisse Thorn, she wrote about sex-positive feminism, B.D.S.M., and pickup artistry. She and Yarvin fought often, sometimes about politics. Laurenson had moved away from the left, but she hadn’t fully embraced neo-reaction. When I asked her if she’d ever changed Yarvin’s mind about anything, she said she’d gotten him to stop using the N-word, at least around her. (He later told this magazine that he was not using the word in the spirit of “a Southern plantation owner.”)

The bigger source of tension, according to Laurenson, was Yarvin’s autocratic attachment style. When they fought, Laurenson said, he insisted that she provide a rational justification for ending hostilities. She felt that Yarvin’s slippery personal attacks resembled his manner in public debates. “He makes up explanations that seem reasonable, but are actually false; he attacks the character of the person who is trying to point out what he’s doing; it’s like a DDOS attack of the soul,” she told me in an e-mail, referencing the cyberattack strategy of overwhelming a server with traffic from multiple sources. James Dama, a friend of Laurenson’s who had his own falling out with Yarvin, recalled, “He would make a coarse joke about Lydia’s weight or looks, not get a laugh, and then get angry at Lydia for being too stuck up.” (Tanner, Yarvin’s first girlfriend, described a similar pattern of insults and demands.)

Laurenson and Yarvin broke up in the summer of 2022, while Laurenson was pregnant. He told me that his desire for closeness might have struck Laurenson as “overbearing and stifling,” and that he had a bad habit of making “a joke that’s sort of a barb,” but he denied that he was ever purposefully cruel during the relationship. (He added that, after the relationship ended, “my natural instinct was, I’m going to cut her down to size every time I can”—something, he noted, he was “very good at.”) A few weeks after their son was born, that December, Yarvin sued for partial custody, which he received. An ongoing family-court case remains acrimonious. “The parents are in disagreement about nearly every issue,” their mediator observed last year.

Now that they share a toddler, Laurenson spends a lot of time thinking about Yarvin’s own childhood. “He has this class-clown thing going on, where he very much craves attention,” she said. To her, it seemed that his embrace of a provocative ideology was a kind of “repetition compulsion,” a psychological defense that allowed him to reframe the ostracization he experienced growing up. As America’s most famous living monarchist, he could tell himself that people were rejecting him for his outré ideas, not for his personality. She wondered if he’d first adopted “the monarchist thing” as a kind of intellectual sport, a bit from Usenet, and then, like the parallel world in the Borges story, it had slowly taken on a reality of its own. “Is it just like you found this place where people admire you and allow you to troll as much as you want, and then you just live in that world?” she asked.

Curtis Yarvin’s Plot Against America: The reactionary blogger’s call for a monarch to rule the country once seemed like a joke. Now the right is ready to bend the knee.

And ten years earlier, again, the Jew Report by the Jew: Forgive My Father, For He Has Sinned: On the poetic struggle of two familial, and familiar, figures of speech By Ava Kofman, January 11, 2015

God, we are doomed with this Century of the Fucking Jew:

Ireland?

But the Jew World will continue to decay our heads

Letter from Gaza: The Nakba We Are Living Through

Fucking JEWS.

From The Depths of Hell

When the Israeli army forces us to move, they issue what they call “evacuation” orders. The Israeli army uses this to portray itself as an army that fights in accordance with international law—that distinguishes between civilians and combatants, that has no intention of harming children. This is far from the truth.

The Israeli military has invaded and besieged many areas before issuing these so-called evacuation orders, as has happened in Rafah and Shujaiya. Israeli invasions force people to flee to so-called “safe zones” under heavy bombardment, making their way through checkpoints with nothing but the clothes on their backs, unable to carry even a day’s worth of food, any documents, or a blanket to cover themselves at night. Many of the leaflets the army drops on civilians contain terrifying threats that amount to psychological warfare. And then, they bomb the safe zones anyway.

Anyone observing the conditions of the displaced people in Gaza can clearly see that the Israeli military doesn’t care about the fate of civilians at all. Israeli forces only tell them to flee—run!—and it doesn’t care where they will stay, what they will eat, or how they will live. Israel wants to force two million Palestinians in Gaza to cram into a tiny plot of land in the south—to live in tent camps with no infrastructure—where rivers of sewage run beneath their feet. Israel’s plan is to force people to leave their neighborhoods by labeling them “combat zones,” so they can destroy, bomb, and flatten everything to make them uninhabitable, even if the residents are ever able to return.

All Israel wants is destruction and ruin, more land to seize, and eventually to establish settlements and pave the way for so-called “voluntary” migration, which many will be forced to accept after being broken by repeated displacement.

Throughout this war, I never evacuated to the south, hoping to stay close to my home and return once the army retreated. I paid the price for that decision with injury and hunger. But now, for the first time, I am displaced in Deir al-Balah, staying at my aunt’s house. It’s the first time I have come south in some 15 years—since I visited my aunt when I was nine or ten years old.

I don’t know how long my aunt will be able to host us, or where we’ll go when we leave. I tell myself we’re just here to visit my aunt after a long time—that I’m on a retreat or vacation somewhere else in the world—just to avoid dying from heartbreak over what we have left behind.

The night we fled Jabaliya wasn’t the worst or most violent of the war. It was just another night from the depths of hell—like every night before it. But this time, we had no choice. We haven’t had a single peaceful night’s sleep since the beginning of the genocide. The deep, dark circles under my eyes are proof of that. Still, I refuse to accept this as normal. I haven’t gotten used to suffering. I just want to sleep one peaceful night before I die.

Back on this again, Round-up:

In As You Like It by Shakespeare, Rosalind asks Orlando: “Can one desire too much of a good thing?” …

Although previously accepted as the less toxic alternative, with low impact on animals, farmers as well as consumers who are exposed to residues in food, glyphosate chemicals are now increasingly controversial as new evidence from research is emerging. We argue that specific aspects of the history, chemistry and safety of glyphosate and glyphosate-based herbicides should be thoroughly considered in present and future re-evaluations of these dominant agrochemicals:

• Glyphosate is not a single chemical, it is a family of compounds with different chemical, physical, and toxicological properties.

• Glyphosate is increasingly recognized as having more profound toxicological effects than assumed from previous assessments.

• Global use of glyphosate is continuously increasing and residues are detected in food, feed, and drinking water. Thus, consumers are increasingly exposed to higher levels of glyphosate residues, and from an increasing number of sources.

• Glyphosate regulation is predominantly still based on primary safety-assessment testing in various indicator organisms. However, archive studies indicate fraud and misbehavior committed by the commercial laboratories providing such research.

We see emerging evidences from studies in test-animals, ecosystems indicators and studies in human health, which justify stricter regulatory measures. This implies revising glyphosate residue definitions and lowering Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) permissible in biological material intended for food and feed, as well as strengthening environmental criteria such as accepted residue concentrations in surface waters. It seems that although recent research indicates that glyphosates are less harmless than previously assumed and have complex toxicological potential, still regulatory authorities accept industry demands for approving higher levels of these residues in food and feed.

New Roundup, New Risks

New Roundup, New Risks

Friends of the Earth’s analysis finds that, on the fiftieth anniversary of its commercialization, Roundup sold to consumers is more toxic than ever before. Bayer pledged to remove glyphosate from Roundup products sold to U.S. consumers (which does not include agricultural or professional use Roundup) starting in 2023, in response to tens of thousands of lawsuits linking the weedkiller to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

We found that Bayer replaced glyphosate with combinations of four chemicals, two of which are banned in the European Union. The new Roundup formulations are 45 times more toxic to human health following long-term, chronic exposures, on average. They also pose significantly greater risks to the environment. What’s more, we found that Bayer has failed to remove glyphosate from all U.S. consumer Roundup products.

Bayer’s failure to warn consumers about the new risks posed by its reformulation of Roundup is negligent and should be unlawful. The fifty-year history of Roundup shows that chemical companies like Bayer cannot be trusted to protect consumer health. It is essential that lawmakers and regulatory agencies, including a strengthened Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), take responsibility for ensuring that people.

And China? Those old Venom-dripping Fangs of Judiasm Rothschild and that other Rockefeller Mentality are all part of Brussels-New York-City of London-Switzerland.

Trump wants China to open up its key sectors like finance, real estate & high-tech industries so that his billionaire Zionist buddies can buy up the assets (using the freely printed USD the Fed gave them) and control China like they control America.

China’s embassy spokesperson, Liu Pengyu, said that China has maintained communications on trade matters with the US, but expressed concerns about U.S. policies, saying, “China once again urges the U.S. to immediately correct its erroneous actions, cease discriminatory restrictions against China and jointly uphold the consensus reached at the high-level talks in Geneva.” This response highlights China’s position that the U.S. is engaging in “erroneous actions” and abusing export control measures, particularly in the semiconductor industry.

This is a very polite way of saying that China is not going to play Trump’s silly game. If the administration chooses to break WTO rules and unilaterally ban Huawei’s new AI chips “anywhere in the world”, then they can expect that China will retaliate. The US is not used to someone its own size, calling its bluff, but that is simply the new reality.

But we think there is more to these “non-tariff barriers” than meets the eye. We think Trump’s real target is something much more ambitious and lucrative. Check it out:

This is pure fiction. Yes, China has lifted some restrictions on foreign banks and liberalized parts of its financial system, but the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) still exerts absolute control over China’s banking and finance sectors as well as the nation’s Central Bank which is led by the CCP. (“The PBOC sets monetary policy, interest rates, and reserve requirements, aligning financial policy with party goals like economic stability and growth.”)

There is no chance that China will follow the same path as the United States and put its future in the hands of the voracious miscreants who have taken everything of value and left the country drowning in red ink. Even so, there is reason for concern.

Oh, they call them Zionists when they are full-fledged Jews, and then Mushroom Dicks like Graham a Zionist when he’s full-fledged Christian C*nt.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is now an opera – the case for adapting the book that the Auschwitz Museum said ‘should be avoided’

Do we need to read beyond the headline?

Striped Pajamas or Solitary confinement?

As it turns out, the new mic rule had come from the dean’s office. It appears that, in the wake of an embarrassing recent disruption of a speech by an Israeli politician on campus, and with the Trump administration on the prowl for any snafus that can be used to buttress their assault on colleges, the Princeton administration had decided that it was too risky to let speakers hold their own microphones while talking. The fear, I suppose, was that if speakers could hold their own mics and they decided to be disruptive or say embarrassing things, it would be too difficult to stop them. That it looked silly and made speakers feel stupid was surely a price worth paying to avoid another scene that might go public. Ironically, the subject of the event was the declining reputation of higher education with the public.

Given the litany of challenges that Trump II is presenting for colleges, it might seem that something like this is too trivial to notice. But I don’t think that’s right. Indeed, that this kind of thing has become common has helped enable Trump’s unprecedented attacks on higher education. My undignified experience was a symbol of the broader fact that colleges have become less serious places. They are losing the capacity for common sense. Treating students like helpless children has been a well-observed and pervasive trend. But the instinct to manage and meddle extends well beyond those to whom the college is supposed to stand in loco parentis.

THose AI motherfucking JEWS:

Yet another AI scandal has hit self-publishing, as an author left generative AI in a final draft of their book – but this isn’t an isolated incident, and reveals a growing, and deeply problematic, trend. The impact of AI on publishing has been hotly debated since the launch of ChatGPT, with concerns that it will be used to ‘write’ and publish content without human intervention – which is not just an issue for the creative community, but occasionally, for safety. AI-generated books on mushroom foraging, in particular, have been an example where incorrect information (which AI is well-known to produce) has the potential to be deadly.

Reality:

Professor Richard Falk, a leading scholar in international law and former UN Special Rapporteur for Palestine:

“The right of resistance was affirmed during the decolonization process in the 1980s and 1990s, and this included the right to armed resistance. However, this resistance is subject to compliance with international laws of war.”

Even the preamble to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that “whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law”.

Israel does not comply with international laws of war—for example, the entire situation in Gaza is one of the most flagrant violations of Israel’s complete disregard, not only for the laws of war, but for the entire apparatus of international and humanitarian laws.

Palestinians, on the other hand, who are in a permanent state of self-defense, are driven by a different set of values than Israel. One is that they are fully aware of the need to maintain moral legitimacy in their methods of resistance….

“To the extent that there is real evidence of atrocities accompanying the October 7 attack, those would constitute violations, but the attack itself is something that, in context, appears entirely justifiable and long overdue,” Falk said. Palestine Chronicle

Jews in a cage with SS watching them?

We are not witnessing a rupture with how things used to be.

What is unfolding today in Gaza, where food aid falls from the sky like ordinance and “humanitarian corridors” double as kill zones, is not the collapse of humanitarianism, but its logical consummation under conditions of settler-colonial necropolitics.

It is tempting to read these scenes — the parachute that failed, the sacks of flour soaked in blood — as tragic malfunctions. They are not.

What happened in Tal al-Sultan on May 27 offered the world yet another glimpse into this emerging logic. At the launch of the GHF’s first aid distribution center, thousands of Palestinians gathered, driven by the extremity of hunger. As fences broke under the weight of the crowd, Israeli forces responded with what they called “warning shots.” By the end of the day, three Palestinians lay dead, 48 were injured, and seven others were missing. This was not the failure of humanitarian logistics; it was the logic fulfilled. The aid site became the set-piece where Israel can lure the starving into kill zones and use a loaf of bread as a pretext for a bullet.

Shit Hole Patriotism! At least $200 million for this one day faggotry. Expect Trump’s Military Parade to Cost More Than the Army Says. The Army says Trump’s June 14 military parade will cost up to $45 million. This is likely an underestimate due to unaccounted expenses.

Nick Turse

Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., suspects the costs could be markedly higher than the current estimates. “This administration does not have a credible history of telling the truth about anything. And so, when they estimate $45 million, you know that’s a low-ball figure,” he told The Intercept. “I don’t know if it includes transporting the troops from their home stations to Washington or feeding them on that trip.”

Cohen brought up other costs from aircraft flyovers — “How much fuel do they burn up? How much maintenance is required before and after the flight?” — to the construction of stands and viewing platforms on the parade route.

The total burden on taxpayers could also soar higher because the federal government is on the hook to fix city streets and other infrastructure torn up by the armored vehicles (each Abrams tank, for instance, weighs almost 70 tons). “If military tanks were used, they should be accompanied with many millions of dollars to repair the roads,” said D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser in April, adding that tanks rolling through the city’s streets “would not be good.”

The Army says they have this covered — at taxpayer expense. “As a prevention measure to ensure there are no damages to the roads, one-inch-thick steel plates, varying in size from 4 feet by 8 feet and 8 feet by 20 feet will be placed on the roads at any pivot point and all new rubber tracks will be placed on vehicles,” Heather J. Hagan, an Army spokesperson, told The Intercept. “The federal government would be responsible for any damages.”

Additional expenses, like cleanup and an increased police presence, are also apparently not part of current estimates, although Daniel Gleick, Bowser’s press secretary, was unable to provide projected local costs. The sheer number of agencies the Army is working with, however, speaks to the likelihood of wide-ranging additional expenses. “The Army is coordinating with local law enforcement, National Park Services, District Department of Transportation, Federal Highways Administration, U.S. Park Police, and DC Water, who will assess the roads and bridges,” said Hagan.

One major expense of the parade to be borne by taxpayers is the cross-country transport of mammoth military vehicles. The Abrams tanks have, for example, already been loaded onto flatbed railcars at an industrial rail yard facility at Fort Cavazos, Texas, for their long journey toward Washington. The tanks will then be trucked to a staging area near the parade route.

The district will also be flooded with close to 7,000 troops. The Army did not want to disclose the locations for force protection reasons, but service members will be housed in the Agriculture Department and General Services Administration buildings, according to Pentagon sources. Contracting materials examined by The Intercept show the Army National Guard is seeking to rent “800 Sleeping Cots in Support of Army 250 Parade in Washington D.C.”

“They’re going to sleep on cots. They’re going to get cots and MREs,” said Smith, the Army spokesperson, referring to “meals ready-to-eat,” the military’s moniker for rations.

Cohen, the Tennessee representative, also referenced the inclusion of large numbers of National Guard members. “They’ll have to take time from their jobs. And are they being paid by the state extra for this time as being in the National Guard? That’s another expense,” he said.

The Army is also looking into potential lodgings — like hotel rooms or furnished apartments — to house 280 personnel from June 12 to 16 and another 275 personnel from June 13 to 16 near the National Mall. These people will, however, eschew MREs for more sumptuous victuals: a hot breakfast, a bag lunch, and a hot dinner, according to a request for information issued by the Army earlier this month. Smith said she did not have details about this effort. Hagan, the other Army spokesperson, did not have a more granular breakdown of other parade costs.

ANd, the SCOTUS scrotum scum: Supreme Court lets Trump end legal protections for 500,000 migrants, exposing more to deportation

THe financial criminals talk tough.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon sounded a warning Friday on the fractious US relationship with China — and on “the enemy within.”

“China is a potential adversary — they’re doing a lot of things well, they have a lot of problems,” Dimon said at the Reagan National Economic Forum in Simi Valley, California. “But what I really worry about is us. Can we get our own act together — our own values, our own capability, our own management.”

Dimon’s comments come as President Donald Trump’s tarrifs have sharply cut into trade between the United States and China, the world’s two biggest economies. Trump’s trade policy has whipsawed through different tariff levels and has also been caught up in court decisions, adding more uncertainty to what has become a testy relationship affecting economies around the world.

Dimon also warned that the standoff with China — which escalated Friday after Trump claimed Beijing “totally violated” its latest trade agreement — will not back down.

“They’re not scared, folks. This notion they’re gonna come bow to America, I wouldn’t count on that,” Dimon said.

Finishing on a cunt low point this Radio Head Multimillionaire scum:

Hamas Hamas Hamas, and the LIES he consumes.

Thom Yorke has released a statement about Israel and the war in Gaza. The Radiohead and Smile frontman began his statement by acknowledging the pro-Palestine concertgoer who shouted at him about the war during an Australian show last year. “Some guy shouting at me from the dark last year when I was picking up a guitar to sing the final song alone in front of 9000 people in Melbourne didn’t really seem like the best moment to discuss the unfolding humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza,” Yorke shared. “Afterwards I remained in shock that my supposed silence was somehow being taken as complicity, and I struggled to find an adequate way to respond to this and to carry on with the rest of the shows on the tour.”

Yorke continued by stating his opposition to Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and his government. (Around the time Radiohead last performed in Israel, in 2017, Yorke also made clear his opposition to Netanyahu.) “I think Netanyahu and his crew of extremists are totally out of control and need to be stopped, and that the international community should put all the pressure it can on them to cease,” the musician wrote. “Their excuse of self-defence has long since worn thin and has been replaced by a transparent desire to take control of Gaza and the West Bank permanently.” Additionally, Yorke called the blockade of aid to Gaza “horrific.”

Shut the fuck up, entitled fucking scum:

Yorke also condemned Hamas, admonishing the Palestinian Islamist group that governs the Gaza Strip for the October 7, 2023, attacks that precipitated the Israeli military’s offensive in the region. “Why did Hamas choose the truly horrific acts of October 7th?” he asked. “The answer seems obvious, and I believe Hamas chooses too to hide behind the suffering of its people, in an equally cynical fashion for their own purposes.”

They all must be shot and buried, these human stains: After gifting a Boeing 747 VIP jet to the United States, Qatar’s generous Emir escaped Doha’s scorching summer by sailing to Spain aboard his $500-million superyacht Al Lusail, a vessel longer than an NFL football field with six decks, multiple pools, and even a beauty salon.

US Policies at Home and Abroad: What Malcolm X Has Taught Us

His goal was for people to recognize that their fight for freedom, equality, and liberation was inseparable from the struggles of others around the world. He famously articulated the purpose of his oratory by declaring:

“To show the relationship between the struggle that is going on on the African continent and the struggle that’s going on among the Afro- Americans here in this country. I … would like to impress… the importance of realizing the direct connection between the struggle of the Afro-American in this country and the struggle of our people all over the world. As long as we think … that we should get Mississippi straightened out before we worry about the Congo, you’ll never get Mississippi straightened out. Not until you start realizing your connection with the Congo.”

Malcolm writes,

“Zionist Israel’s occupation of Arab Palestine has forced the Arab world to waste billions of precious dollars on armaments, making it impossible for these … nations to concentrate on strengthening the economies of their countries and elevate the living standard of their people”.

Because of this war economy, “the Zionist propagandists [utilize it] to make it appear to the Africans that the Arab leaders are not intellectually or technically qualified to lift the living standard of their people … thus, indirectly “inducing” Africans to turn away from the Arabs and towards the Israelis for teachers and technical assistance”

reading a new book by Will Potter, author of Green is the New Red (’11), and then newsfeeds just keep dinging me on my computer as I read his Little Red Barns: Hiding the Truth from Farm to Fable

I’ll be interviewing Will Tuesday, for my radio show, Finding Fringe: Voices from the Edge, and it will air in July.

Here’s a blub — a promotional positive statement about the book:

“We are in a fight for our lives against a rising authoritarian tide, and this clear-eyed, compelling, clarion call of a book has a message everyone needs to hear. We will not save ourselves if we do not also fight for the lives of others–including non-human animals. No one is better positioned than Will Potter to connect the dots between fascism and factory farming, and he does so with energy, conviction, and incredible insight.” — — Astra Taylor, author of Democracy May Not Exist, but We’ll Miss It When It’s Gone

I’m digging the book he sent me. Stay TUNED.

Yes indeed, things have gotten really really worse, and the book thus far is about ag-gag, the history of those laws, and we go back farther than Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle, way back to “Old McDonald Had a Farm.” Even farther back to Matthew in that book about bearing witness, or Islam and the concept of being a martyr, witness, whistleblower.

Oh, I recall this bullshit interview/debate on Democracy Now with Will Potter and the schill goofy woman working for the lobby, man, and the manufactured balance, the false balance, the broken equivalency.

Progress

[Palestine Will Be Free]

Oh, what great progress! We have come so far

What glorious days I wake up to!
What mirth and joy the mornings conjure.
After starting my day with coffee and Wagyu steak,
I tap-dance to work and present my deck.

All fun and games with the friends at work,
As we discuss last night’s game we streamed.
“Oh, how he shot — and the one he missed —
They should build him a statue in the city’s midst.”

At noon, I got the letter with the bonus check —
My hard work is really stacking the deck!
That called for a celebration, so we went
To this exquisite bar a colleague had picked.

We did good business this year, my boss said,
As our machines were deployed across the East and the West.
We’re ramping up production — the demand is high.
I already smell the next check — oh, how I fly!

We wrapped up another busy day at work,
As we built more machines to send across the pond.
On the way home, I called my spouse,
And we went to her favourite: Roundhouse.

As we got home, on the TV they showed
One of our products being dropped by the shore.
Our President announced, “No holds will be barred,
In support of our friends who always want more.”

Smacking my lips, I looked up the scrip,
Giddy as a kid, I slept like a pig.
More work tomorrow, as we must ship more
Of our fearsome products to our friends by the shore.

Oh, what great progress! We have come so far.
With my MIT degree, I have become a star.
My machines hum low as they cross the sea,
Carving silence where children used to be.

Get the people together, roll up our sleeves, you know, have the debates.”

Army says Trump’s military parade could cause $16 million in damage to Washington streets

The repair costs are part of the estimated $45 million price tag for the upcoming parade.

Bone spurs Trump, man, what a complete Rapist in Chief Fraud.

“We have the greatest missiles in the world. We have the greatest submarines in the world. We have the greatest army tanks in the world. We have the greatest weapons in the world. And we’re going to celebrate it,” Trump added.

The parade will be part of a massive celebration in downtown Washington that includes a number of events, historical displays and a demonstration by the Army’s famous parachute team, the Golden Knights.

The parade itself will include about 130 vehicles, including 28 M1A1 tanks, 28 Bradley Fighting Vehicles, 28 Stryker armored fighting vehicles and a number of vehicles towing artillery launchers. More than 50 helicopters will also participate in an “extensive flyover” in the nation’s capital.

The event will also bring more than 9,000 soldiers from around the country to Washington, about 7,000 of whom will march in the parade itself. The event will also include at least eight Army bands, and some troops will ride on the nearly three dozen horses and two mules expected to march as part of a historical section of the parade.

And you thought colleges were places of sanity and caring? Forget about it.

As colleges halt affinity graduations, students of color plan their own cultural celebrations. Affinity graduations recognize the range “of challenges and obstacles” that students from minority backgrounds face as they work toward their degrees, said one professor.

Death spiral in almost 100 percent of American life:

The Harvard university joins many other institutions across the country that have canceled affinity graduations after the federal cracked down on funding for colleges. Notre Dame canceled its Lavender Graduation for 50 LGBTQ students, with members of the university’s Alumni Rainbow Community and the Notre Dame Club of Greater Louisville stepping in to host an independent ceremony this month.

Wichita State University, the University of Louisville and the University of Kentucky also canceled some or all of their affinity ceremonies. The Hispanic Educators Association of Nevada said it canceled its event for Latino students because of a lack of financial support.

This is what education once again means to the perversions called US Secretary of Ed.

U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said her department will give the state ten days to sign an agreement rescinding its Native American mascot ban and apologizing to Native Americans for having discriminated against them and attempted to “erase” their history.

JP O’Hare, a spokesperson for the New York education department, dismissed McMahon’s visit as “political theater” and said the school district was doing a “grave disservice” to its students by refusing to consult with local tribes about their concerns.

“These representatives will tell them, as they have told us, that certain Native American names and images perpetuate negative stereotypes and are demonstrably harmful to children,” he said in a statement.

You feeling the dictator’s blues yet? President Trump has long called for escalating the U.S. drug war against Mexican cartels and wants tougher penalties for dealers selling fentanyl and other street drugs in American communities. “I am ready for it, the death penalty, if you deal drugs,” Trump said during a meeting with state governors in February, where he said dealers are too often treated with a “slap on the wrist.”

But despite his tough rhetoric, Trump has sparked controversy by pardoning a growing number of convicted drug dealers, including this week’s move to grant clemency to Larry Hoover, 74, who was serving multiple life sentences in federal prison for crimes linked to his role leading the Chicago-based Gangster Disciples.

“Larry Hoover was the head of perhaps the most pernicious, efficient drug operation in the United States,” Safer said. “They sold over $100 million of drugs a year in the city of Chicago alone. They were responsible for countless murders. They supported their drug territories with ruthless violence.”

A LITTLE pushback?

What? Everything about Trump, man, is the most perverse, weird and dystopian and of course, Snake Oil Salesmanship and Three Card Monty and Chapter 11-13 full bore.

Not digging the Catholic Church, but can you imagine making rabbis tell the truth, the FOrtune 300 or 5,000 go before a board of truth and reconciliation? Imagine if the Jewish State of Murdering Raping Maiming Polluting Poisoning Starving Occupied Palestine had to disclose that client-extortionist privilege? Patient-Doctor confidentiality? Doesn’t exist, and DOGE is coming after the food stampers and the disability pittance receipients while the millionaires, billionaires and trillionaires get to keep their dirty feloneous secrets, well, secrets.

Some of us are tired of surviving

For many in Gaza, death isn’t always the worst outcome.

MOHAMMED R MHAWISH's avatar

MOHAMMED R MHAWISH

What kind of world forces people to beg for death to feel peace?

I’ve survived so many times now I’ve lost count. I was pulled from the rubble with my son after our home was flattened, walked for hours carrying a bag of bread and the bones of what once was a life, fled neighborhoods, towns, and streets we once called home, only to find no home waiting on the other side, and every time I survived, something else died. Sometimes, it was a friend. Sometimes a cousin and sometimes a colleague. Some other times it was the sound of my son’s laughter and my own belief that living means something.

Survival is not a blessing.

I’ve come to learn that survival is just another word for staying inside the pain. People wake up every day in a different place than where they were yesterday and find it more crowded and more tired and more broken. Stepping over children sleeping on cardboard under trees is now a normal thing, and the days are all the same. So are the struggles of hunger and water and the bitter metallic taste. The same questions about where we should go next, what we will eat today, and who else we’ve lost.

A reporter captured the moment at midnight, as the sky lit up like day from illumination flares.

The caption reads: “We are dying. The Israeli bombing is relentless. Women and children are the victims. No safe places left. No food, no water. Famine is spreading rapidly.”

I’ve sat with people who don’t run anymore when leaflets fall from the sky, I remember talking to a woman in Khan Younis who told me she stayed in her home after the first warnings. Her name was Sameera and she was sixty-two. Her husband was too sick to walk and she couldn’t carry him. “If we leave, we die on the road. If we stay, we die here,” she said. “At least here I know the ground. I know which walls will fall on me.”

She didn’t say it with fear. There was simply no fear left.

Another man in Deir Al Balah was standing in the middle of a bombed street and sweeping glass and dirt into a pile. He’d lost two of his daughters, and when I asked him why he didn’t leave earlier, he said, “I didn’t want to spend the last moments of my life running.”

It’s neither courage nor resistance, only exhaustion, the kind that comes with an understanding that in Gaza there is no such thing as a safe place. We just run until our legs and souls give out. And even if we make it out alive, we still carry the weight of every person who didn’t.

People always say survival is the goal and we’re lucky to have made it. But there’s no such thing as luck about people dissolving slowly and dying in slow motion.

During my months reporting from there, I saw children who don’t speak anymore. I once saw a boy in Jabalia who used to love cartoons but now just sits and stares at the wall. When I tried to ask for his name, he covered his ears. His mother said he hasn’t spoken since the missile hit their home and took his sister.

When someone cries out of an injury, we know they’re still holding on. But when they just stare at the ceiling as they bleed, we know they’ve already left, even if their body hasn’t.

There is nothing noble about this kind of survival. There is no aftercare or healing.

We don’t want to die. But when some of us fantasize about death, it’s because we’re full of everything that hurts. Our moms whisper that they envy those who died peacefully and quickly. I myself used to shower in cold water at night just to feel something cold. My neighbor lost her baby to dehydration around the time my son and I were diagnosed with malnutrition in March 2024. She still carries his blanket in her bag.

And here my friends tell me to stay strong and safe. But I don’t want strength anymore. I don’t want to be the one who survived everything. I don’t want my son to grow up believing that pain is something you get used to or that losing everything and still breathing means you’re lucky.

We all have our tricks for trying to suffer a little less. Some stop talking about the people they lost because even saying a name is unbearable. Some lie to themselves and pretend their loved ones are still displaced just somewhere they can’t reach. Some stop eating because food feels like a betrayal when the person you used to share it with is gone.

I once believed that writing would help me make sense of it and that putting these stories down would somehow soften them. But even that doesn’t work anymore. I can’t keep writing about mass graves and call it documenting and narrating pain while still living inside it.

There is nothing poetic about this grief. It is ugly and it is heavy and it is repetitive. Sometimes I walk for hours just not to think and keep my body moving while my mind shuts down, or just to delay the next memory from arriving.

I still wake up sometimes believing we’re back home and feel like I’ll hear my mother’s voice and make coffee in our old kitchen.

The truth is, survival, when it’s endless and hollow and filled with nothing but hunger and mourning and fear… it begins to feel like a punishment.

We are alive in ways no one in this world would envy.

So when the people in Gaza no longer pray for safety, it’s because we’ve seen too much and lost too many.
