The Yinon Plan has played a key role in Zionist foreign policy since the 1980s. The powerful Israel lobby has also successfully pushed the US government into adopting the same plan.

“I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve been injured on the job. In our Amazon bathroom there’s a mirror that says, ‘You’re looking at the person who is most responsible for your safety.’ It pisses me off every time I have to see it. That’s just them passing off the buck.”

This is what the Modern Day, High Tech, Billionaires ‘r Us Mafia looks like: Drone the motherfucking Mar-a-Lago now!

Amazon founder and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos has become the latest billionaire to meet Donald Trump at his Florida resort.

He was seen entering Mar-a-Lago on Wednesday night on his way to dinner with the president-elect, in video posted on social media.

US media reported that Elon Musk joined the pair. Mr Musk later tweeted “it was a great conversation”.

Mr Bezos has pledged $1m (£780,000) to Trump’s inauguration fund, one of a number of donations pledged by tech bosses.

Mr Bezos has large business interests with the US government through several of his companies, including Amazon’s cloud computing division and Blue Origin, his space exploration company.

At the DBK4 delivery station in Queens, New York, cops swarmed and arrested an Amazon driver who stopped his van in support of the strike. Then they forcibly broke the picket line. In anticipation of a possible strike at JFK8, police had camped out by the facility in advance.

And so, Bezos continues his inverted totalitarian ways, sucking blood from the workers and hollowing out the mom and pop stores, main street USA, and draining the taxe coffers:

The strike’s timing is strategic: package volumes balloon around the holidays, known as “peak season,” so it’s no easy feat for Amazon to cope with disruption. During the 2023 holiday season, Amazon netted 29 percent of all global online orders.

To keep up with the surge in demand, many workers are forced to work mandatory overtime—childcare and other obligations be damned. “They give us one day extra, plus one hour extra a day,” said Wajdy Bzezi, a shift lead steward who has worked at JFK8 since 2018. “I barely see my son.”

“When you think of the holidays you think of spending time with your family, you think of reconnecting,” said Ken Coates, a packer who has worked at JFK8 for five years. “And during peak, all you can think of is sleep.”

To help meet the increased demand the company has hired 250,000 seasonal workers across the country. This influx could also dilute strike power, though seasonal workers face the same stressors and often support the union push.

Case study 6.1: Mexican Cartel members use drones to target rivals and government officials.

At the outset of 2022, Mexican cartels have begun emplacing improvised explosive devices along roadsides to slow/deter law enforcement. The cartels eventually escalated their efforts by using drones to deliver explosives more precisely in targeted attempts against their rivals.

The front-loaded DJI Inspire’s camera appears to be angled straight downward, possibly to offer a clear view of intended targets directly below. An L-shaped brace is affixed to the rear underside of the craft and features a downward, rimmed aperture into which the beer bottle’s mouth is slid. (Crumley, 2022)

A thin plastic band is affixed around the container’s center– possibly how it is held into place because a subsequent picture of a dropped bottle shows it falling nearly upright, indicating a rear release. Also feasible is the camera mounting has been adapted to secure the bottle’s back end.

Conclusion

The conclusion is straightforward. Drones are both a perfect delivery payload for explosives, and with the use of A.I., they can be directed at any target of opportunity.

Back to retarded land, the RFK Jr. BULL-shit landia:

RFK Jr.’s agenda of ending chronic disease, purging the food supply of toxic chemicals, and subjecting vaccinations to long overdue testing, are all key priorities that deserve to be advanced.

However, as we can be sure RFK Jr. will know (and know better), there are numerous problems with the “Make America Healthy Again” agenda. I can think of at least six.

And herein lies the fucking stupid finger-licking reality of writers like Forte: RFK Junior is a rabid Zionist, who has called Trump a sociopath and called all Palestinians spoiled people. He loves his son the Ukrainian Brad Pitt — War Porn, Blue Bloods, and Fathers (and sons) by Paul Haeder / November 9th, 2022

Yep, RFK Jr., let out the news recently, on Megyn Kelly. The newspapers picked it up:

“He felt that he shouldn’t be arguing about it unless he was willing to have skin in the game and take his own risk,” Kennedy said on “The Megyn Kelly Show” of his son’s decision to go to the war-torn country.

Kennedy said his son signed up for the Foreign Legion at the Ukrainian Embassy and was a drone pilot before he was promoted to a “machine gunner.”

“He didn’t have any military experience and kind of talked his way into the unit,” he added. “He’s been in firefights, mainly nighttime, and a lot of artillery fights with the Russians.”

“He had a job for a law firm, a really good law firm in Los Angeles, and I was looking forward to him living with me for the summer,” he said of his son’s initial plans.

When probing him further about Conor Kennedy’s plans, his son said, “I’m not going. I want to talk to you. I don’t want you to ask me what I’m doing.”

“I was like, ‘Um…,’” he explained. “And he said, ‘I will explain it to you at some point, but I do not want you to ask me now, and if you could just respect that it would mean a lot to me.’ So I did.”

Oh, the fucking heroin addict, RFK Junior:

This is what a fucked up multimillionaire thinks:

I’m going to dedicate that revenue to creating wellness farms — drug rehabilitation farms — in rural areas all over this country. The biggest industry now in rural areas is prisons. I am going to change that. I’m going to make it so people can go, if you’re convicted of a drug offense, or if you have a drug problem, you can go to one of these places for free. They’re going to grow their own food, organic food, high-quality food because a lot of the behavioral issues are food-related. A lot of the illnesses are food-related. There won’t be any cellphones there. There won’t be any screens. We’re going to reparent people, restore this connection to community. We have a whole generation of kids who are dispossessed, they’re alienated, they’re marginalized. Their suicide rates are exploding. … Last year, 107,000 American kids died from drug overdoses, namely fentanyl and other opiates.

[…]

You got a whole generation of kids who is damaged. I’m going to create these wellness farms where they can go to get off of illegal drugs, off of opiates, but also legal drugs, other psychiatric drugs, if they want to, to get off of SSRIs, to get off of benzos, to get off of Adderall, and to spend time as much time as they need — three or four years if they need it — to learn to get reparented, to reconnect with communities, to understand how to talk to people. There’ll be job training, particularly in the trades.

Kennedy loves this fucking place:

In the more than 40 years since, San Patrignano has been home some 26,000 recovering addicts, with 1,200 currently living on site, including children who have previously resorted to sex work in order to fund their habits, according to AirMail.

The organisation estimates that 72 per cent of people who complete the course never relapse and 92 per cent find a job.

But while San Patrignano is considered a success, the life of its founder is shrouded in controversy.

During his decade in charge of the commune, Muccioli became known for the extreme, sometimes inhumane, steps he was prepared to take in order to maintain control and keep his charges on site.

His actions have been compared to those of a cult leader or a Mob boss, with deputies responsible for overseeing ‘little kingdoms’ where violent punishments were handed out to residents who broke the rules or tried to run away.

Oh, Kennedy, Oh LaLaLandia, Oh, Kushner-Trump-Miller LLC:

Oh, those evil webs . . .

Fucking AmeriKKKa:

This is what Jewish Faggotry is ALL about:

Oh, the Bomber Oh-Bama:

a Pentagon study, circulated in early 2013, evaluating the intelligence and surveillance technology behind the military’s Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) killing campaign in Yemen and Somalia in 2011 and 2012.

The study, carried out by the Pentagon’s Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Task Force, illuminates and in some cases contradicts the administration’s public description of a campaign directed at high-level terrorists who pose an imminent threat to the United States. It admits frankly that capturing terrorists is a rare occurrence and hints at the use of so-called signature strikes against unknown individuals exhibiting suspicious behavior.

The Intercept obtained two versions of the study, a longer presentation dated February 2013, and an executive summary from May 2013, which includes a slide showing the chain of command leading to the approval of a lethal strike.

So the cunt Barak gives us holiday cheer, but, well, but . . . The Obama administration has been loath to declassify even the legal rationale for drone strikes — let alone detail the bureaucratic structure revealed in these documents. Both the CIA and JSOC conduct drone strikes in Yemen, and very little has been officially disclosed about either the military’s or the spy agency’s operations.

“The public has a right to know who’s making these decisions, who decides who is a legitimate target, and on what basis that decision is made,” said Jameel Jaffer, deputy legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union.

Well well, the 100 Protesters’ Bottles of Beer on the Wall. We are cooked as a society!

[Over 100 people rallied at Philadelphia’s Independence Hall next to the Liberty Bell on Dec. 18, International Migrants Day, to pressure the Biden Administration to dismantle the deportation machine before he leaves office. The demonstration was organized by a coalition of groups concerned about immigrant rights.]

The other white member of the Uhuru 3 is Jesse Nevel. He recounted: “On July 29, 2022, they came with hundreds of agents. How much money was spent on that day alone? You have the National Security Division of the Justice Department coordinating the prosecution. You have an untold amount of resources and focus that the U.S. government tried to bring down against the movement of African people for liberation. And they got their asses handed to them.

“That is a testament to all of you, but above all, it is a testament to the relentless indestructible leadership of Chairman Omali Yeshitela, the African People’s Socialist Party, Deputy Chair Ona Zené Yeshitela. I consider it the greatest honor of my life up to this point to have been targeted, alongside my two heroes, the leaders who have been the greatest inspiration to my life — Chairman Omali Yeshitela and Chairwoman Penny Hess. This is the time now for all white people who want to take a stand to join the Uhuru Solidarity Movement.”

Of course, calling this Israeli Zionist Jew a dirty dirty rat, is absolutely correct:

Regrettably, some Israeli Jews believe that there exists a hierarchy of victimhood atop which their ethno-national and religious group sits, which is why they dishonestly blame Poles for the Holocaust in order to uphold this false perception that some have exploited to demand socio-economic and political privileges.

Prominent Israeli activist Arsen Ostrovsky, who’s also a senior fellow at the Misgav Institute for National Security and Zionist Strategy, provoked a scandal in Poland. He tweeted on Friday about “how sad” it is that Warsaw will arrest Netanyahu per its international legal commitment to the ICC if he travels to Auschwitz to attend its 80^th liberation anniversary event next month. Ostrovsky then added at the end of his post that “Perhaps Poland has not fully learnt lessons of the Holocaust, or their own responsibility…” [Israeli Activist Arsen Ostrovsky Is Wrong To Collectively Blame Poles For The Holocaust]

It was this last part that provoked Poles to fact-check him since their ethno-national group was the only occupied people that the Nazis threatened to execute for helping Jews during World War II. Many were murdered for this act of charity that they carried out in solidarity with their fellow Jewish citizens. The Polish Underground State even had an entire group, Zegota, dedicated to saving Jews. Even so, some Poles still collaborated with the Nazis, but historian Edward Reid proved that this was only 0.1% of them.

Therein lies the crux of the issue since this statistically insignificant percentage of that ethno-national group has been maliciously misportrayed by some Israeli Jews to collectively blame all Poles for the Holocaust. Former Israeli President Reuven Rivlin even once boasted to local media about telling his Polish counterpart Andrzej Duda that “you have to learn what happened in the past. Saying that nothing happened that we were both the victims is not correct.” This is factually false historical revisionism.

Poles were the first victims of the Nazis’ genocides, not Jews, and they were targeted for extermination from the very first day of the invasion after the Nazis had already assembled a list of over 60,000 Poles (the “Special Prosecution Book – Poland”) to murder through “Operation Tannenbaum”. That was part of what’s known as the “Intelligenzaktion”. In fact, the very first prisoners of the infamous Nazi death camp Auschwitz were dissident Poles. By comparison, Jews weren’t targeted for extermination until mid-1941.

Oh, those Jews . . . .

The Yinon Plan promotes various forms of conflict.

It promotes conflicts between Muslims and Christians in the Middle East (e.g., in Lebanon, Egypt).

It promotes conflicts between different ethnicities in the Middle East (e.g., Arabs, Kurds, Turks).

It promotes sectarian conflicts between Muslims (e.g., Sunni, Twelver, Zaidi).

It promotes conflicts between different groups of Sunnis (e.g., Traditionalist, Sufi, Salafi, Ikhwani).

Conflict is promoted in many ways. The US sanctions and invades Muslim-majority countries, weakening and collapsing the governments. With no unifying central government, the population naturally splits into groups which fight one another for power.

The US pushes Muslim-majority states to adopt massive programs to “reform” Islam, in the name of “counter-extremism” and “counter-terrorism.” These programs are geared towards weakening the eliminating shared Islamic teachings capable of unifying groups of Muslims within countries and between countries.

The US pushes Muslim-majority states to discard a broad Muslim identity and instead adopt narrow artificial nationalist and ethnic identities (e.g., the Jordanian or Emirati identity). Lacking a strong shared Muslim identity, the populations of Muslim-majority states are less likely to ally with one another.

The US prevents Muslim-majority states from allying with one another, or helping one another (e.g., ensuring the worthlessness of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation). Rather, the US pushes Muslim-majority states to form alliances against one another.

The US also directly or indirectly creates terrorist organizations (e.g., al-Qaeda, ISIS), which launch random bombings on holy sites of various groups (e.g., Christians, Muslim sects). These bombings help spark inter-group conflict.

The aim of all this is to create mass political instability and civil war within every Muslim-majority country, as well as war between all Muslim-majority countries – and no alliances between these countries.

Weakened Muslim-majority countries of this kind pose no threat to Israel. They are unable to help the Palestinians, and they can be easily intimidated and controlled by Israel.

“Not by hatred is hatred overcome, but only by love is hatred overcome…” Dharmmapada

AMERICAN VIOLENCE; A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY,

Richard Hofstadter lends his historian’s craft to the rather popular task of anthologizing American violence, and whatever reservations one may have about collections of umpteen separate bloody incidents, the master’s hand is evident throughout. Hofstadter’s thoughtful introduction gives a scholarly substance to the whole subject, delineating and expounding upon the major chronic forms of group violence in America, marking out the significant areas which invite further research, and reflecting upon the particular forms of violence that flourished in the 1960’s. He regrets the rising mystique of armed struggle on the left, since force “has more characteristically served domineering capitalists or trigger-happy police, peremptory sergeants or fascist hoodlums.” But “the hideous and gratuitous official violence in Vietnam” has eroded the effectiveness of appeals to peaceful protest. The 107 documentary selections have been divided as well as could be managed into eight varieties of violence—political, economic, racial, religious-ethnic, anti-radical and police, personal, assassinations and terrorism, and “Violence in the Name of Law, Order, and Morality.” They are primarily eyewitness or newspaper accounts, “of distinctly reportorial character and value, rather than editorialized.” Hofstadter and his younger associate Wallace provide introductory remarks for each separate piece, confined largely to the episode at hand, and cite additional pertinent references. If, as Hofstadter asserts, “the rediscovery of our violence will undoubtedly be one of the important intellectual legacies of the 1960’s,” then this is among the better places to linger over that legacy.

At the fucking local Bi-Mart in Lincoln City, OR. These AMericans are fucking cub scouts, dumb as dirt, and this is it for this warped country.

Spend any time at Tea Party meetings and one thing you learn pretty quickly is that Tea Party activists are far quicker to criticize than praise politicians. But they do make exceptions, and President Ronald Reagan makes that list.

In the ’70s and ’80s, Reagan, who would have marked his 100th birthday Sunday, helped inspire a conservative era in American politics. Today, it’s the Tea Party movement that’s become a dynamic force on the right.

“Ronald Reagan was, in many ways, the original Tea Party candidate,” says Craig Shirley, author of the book Reagan’s Revolution. The book chronicles Reagan’s run for president in 1976, taking on the political establishment and incumbent President Gerald Ford.

Gathering aims to relaunch Minutemen, fortify border, in response to caravan

[Propery owner Jeff Allen, rear left, stands with a member of the United Constitutional Patriots near a group of about 30 Brazilian migrants who had just crossed the border at Allen’s property in Sunland Park, N.M., on March 20, 2019]

Heroes, here, and believe you me, dumb as fuck Russians and EuroTrashLandians and fucking elite Substackers and the Racist mother fucking Oklahoma Superintendent of Mis-Education, you just do not know what AmeriKKKa is.

Scott Warren has a checklist he goes through every time he finds a body in the desert. The earthly components are straightforward. Log the GPS coordinates. Take photographs and notes. Scour the brush for more bones and pull together all the data pertinent to the investigation that local authorities will, in theory, initiate once they arrive. These elements are basic evidence-gathering. But for Warren, the process doesn’t end there.

Warren believes that these moments merit an acknowledgement of humanity. And so, after years of recoveries, the 36-year-old has developed a modest ritual for the grim encounters. He goes quiet, lowers himself to the earth, collects the dirt around him, and then lets the soil pour through his fingers. The point, Warren says, is to take a moment to reflect or, as he puts it, “hold space.” It may not sound like much, but for him, this process and everything that attends to it is as sacred as anything one might find in a conventional house of God.

When a person dies, Warren believes, some extra-physical element of them remains, dwelling in the place where they passed. In the last six years, Warren has communed with the dead no fewer than 16 times in the desert outside Ajo, the tiny Arizona border town he calls home. Those bodies and fragmented sets of human remains have served as his window into the slow-motion disaster unfolding in the borderlands, one in which U.S. government policy funnels migrants into the desert, creating a black hole of disappearance and death of historic proportions.

In response, Warren has helped convene a network of Arizona humanitarian aid volunteers with roots that go back decades. Through sweat-drenched marches deep into the Sonoran Desert, this collective has expanded access to water and medical aid in one of the border’s deadliest and most remote corridors, and fueled a historic increase in the number of bodies accounted for there. Even for those who can’t be saved, the finding of human remains opens the door for bodies to be returned to grief-stricken families, providing answers to painful questions. In an alternate universe, one could imagine the efforts of Warren and his cohort being the kind of thing a society might actively support, or even prioritize. But that’s not what is happening in Arizona right now. — intercept

The queer as tits on a linebacker Democrats, what fucking shit heads, dirty to the core. You have NO idea how deadened and hardened the average fucking AmeriKKKan is, and it runs deep into the PMC, professional managerial class, deep into the white bro’s, and now the fucking ignorant niggerized blacks and fucking Tio Taco Hispanics.

Voting for these fuckers, the Trumpsters?

The agents considered Warren a recruiter encouraging college students to join a criminal conspiracy that involved furthering migrants’ unlawful entry into the country by providing them with water and medical aid. For Warren, the timing of their arrival was not good. Inside the Barn that day were two Central American men, Kristian Perez-Villanueva, a citizen of El Salvador, and Jose Arnaldo Sacaria-Godoy, a citizen of Honduras, who had come to the property three days earlier after a harrowing trek through the desert.

An additional crew of Border Patrol agents and local sheriff’s deputies mustered at a motel down the road before setting off. As the convoy of mostly unmarked vehicles moved in, the agents in the brush ran toward the Barn. The first of the vehicles, a purple Dodge, pulled into the driveway, coming to a stop at Warren’s feet. Men with badges and guns piled out.

Warren told them that they were stepping onto private property and requested that they leave. The agents, who did not have a warrant, persisted. With weapons drawn, they swept through the Barn. The migrants were found inside, one of them hiding in a shower. Warren was handcuffed and arrested. He was accused of providing the men with food, water, clean clothes, and a place to sleep over three days. A month later, a grand jury indicted him on two counts of harboring and one count of conspiracy. If convicted and sentenced to consecutive terms, Warren could serve up to 20 years in prison.

In 1923, the British novelist D. H. Lawrence offered a grim assessment of America and Americans: “All the other stuff, the love, the democracy, the floundering into lust, is a sort of by-play. The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted.”

Lawrence’s observations of the American character did not draw upon deep wells of direct personal experience. When he wrote those lines, he had only been living in the United States for a bit more than a year and had spent much of that time among artists and the literati. But he was neither the first nor the last to make such an observation. Nearly 50 years ago, surveying both the wreckage of the 1960s and centuries of archives, the brilliant historian Richard Hofstadter acknowledged that “Americans certainly have reason to inquire whether, when compared with other advanced industrial nations, they are not a people of exceptional violence.”

Here’s this fucking FUCK: Putin. Putin’s Narrative Reversal on Syria

Putin may be saying they aren’t terrorists anymore as a way to get out of admitting Russia likely failed in Syria to prevent terrorists from taking over. He did not cite Russian intelligence saying these are reformed killers, but said they must be reformed because otherwise the West would have nothing to do with them, when he knows full well the West has had plenty to do with them when they were openly terrorists.

This may just be Putin trying to find a creative way out of the fact that Assad’s overthrow appears to have been a Russian defeat unless the HTS are truly reformed. And if they are reformed, still very much uncertain, the U.S. and Turkey would have been behind it, not Russia.

Editorial Comment: Moscow continues its subservience to the Sublime Porte and the Zionists. This tendency has bewildered those who have followed developments in Syria since the beginning of the war over a decade ago. If we only glance at the surface of Putin’s remarks as referent to the jihadists, it defies logic. But if we understand that Turkey is the primary support for the terrorist groups in the Levant, it becomes much clearer. And this begins to open the way to explain why Russia supported the illegal Turkish occupation of Syria, never stopped Israel from launching its barbaric attacks or its expansion in the Golan, and has never moved in any meaningful way to stop the genocide in Palestine. No authentic anti-fascist would claim to be at war with Nazis in Ukraine while backing the Muslim Brotherhood and Zionists in the Middle East unless they are abysmally ignorant of their shared history with the Nazis. Neither would they be so foolish as to conflate Zionism with Judaism or Islamists with Muslims. Yet this has been Russia’s consistent error, to their own detriment and shame. A.V.

Fuck the white fucking races: Here, a long time ago, 42 years ago!

The great African American poet Sonia Sanchez attended the June 12, 1982 peace rally in New York City. After the rally, she wrote the poem, “Reflections after the June 12th March of Disarmament,” published in the collection Homegirls & Handgrenades in 1984. In the poem, Sanchez asked us to not only to call for nuclear disarmament, but to understand the long history of the violence of the “inhumanitarians” that encourages war, destruction, and death:

…
I have come to you tonite because there are
inhumanitarians in the world. they are not
new. they are old. they go back into history.
they were called explorers, soldiers, mercenaries,
imperialists, missionaries, adventurers
…

Sanchez called for the world to find sanity, for a world where the elite “give up their need for excess wealth and learn how to share the world’s resources.” She asks us to “learn to suckle life not/bombs” – and to fight for peace.

Reflections after the June 12th March of Disarmament

Sonia Sanchez

I have come to you tonite out of the depths
of slavery
from white hands peeling black skins over
america;

I have come out to you from reconstruction eyes
that closed on black humanity
that reduced black hope to the dark
huts of america;

I have come to you from the lynching years,
the exploitation of black men and women by
a country that allowed the swinging of
strange fruits from southern trees;

I have come to you tonite thru the
delaney years, the du bois years, the
b.t. washington years, the robeson
years, the garvey years, the
depression years, the you can’t eat
or sit or live just die here years,
the civil rights years, the black power
years, the black nationalist years, the
affirmative action years, the liberal
years, the neo-conservative years;

I have come to say that those years
were not in vain; the ghosts of our
ancestors searching this american dust for
rest were not in vain, black women
walking their lives in clots were not
in vain, the years walked
sideways in a foresaken land were not
in vain;

I have come to you tonite as an equal,
as a comrade, as a black woman
walking down a corridor of tears,
looking neither to the left or the right,
pulling my history with bruised
heels,
beckoning to the illusion of America
daring you to look me in the eyes to
see these faces, the exploitation of a
people because of skin pigmentation;

I have come to you tonite because no people
have been asked to be modern day people
with the history of slavery, and still
we walk, and still we talk, and
still we plan, and still we hope and
still we sing;

I have come to you tonite because there are
inhumanitarians in the world. they are not
new. they are old. they go back into history.
they were called explorers, soldiers, mercenaries,
imperialists, missionaries, adventurers,
but they looked at the world for what
it would give up to them and they violated
the land and the people, they looked
at the land and sectioned it up for
private ownership, they looked at the
people and decided how to manipulate
them thru fear and ignorance, they looked
at the gold and began to hoard and
worship it;

I have come to you because it is time
for us all to purge capitalism from
our dreams, to purge materialism
from our eyes, from the planet earth
to deliver the earth again into the hands
of the humanitarians;

I have come to you tonite not just for the stoppage
of nuclear proliferation, nuclear
plants, nuclear bombs, nuclear
waste, but to stop the proliferation
of nuclear minds, of nuclear generals
of nuclear presidents, of nuclear scientists,
who spread human and nuclear waste
over the world;

I come to you because the world needs to be
saved for the future generations who must
return the earth to peace, who will not
be startled by a man’s/woman’s skin color;

I come to you because the world needs sanity
now, needs men and women who will
not work to produce nuclear weapons,
who will give up their need for excess
wealth and learn how to share the
world’s resources, who will never
again as scientists invent again just
for the sake of inventing;

I come to you because we need to turn our
eyes to the beauty of this planet, to the
bright green laughter of trees, to the beautiful
human animals waiting to smile their unprostituted smiles;

I have come to you to talk about our inexperience
at living as human beings, thru death marches and cam
thru middle passages and slavery
and thundering countries raining hungry faces;

I am here to move against
leaving our shadows implanted on the
earth while our bodies disintegrate in
nuclear lightning;

I am here between the voices of our ancestors
and the noise of the planet,
between the surprise of death and life;

I am here because I shall not give the
earth up to non-dreamers and earth molesters;

I am here to say to you:
my body is full of veins
like the bombs waiting to burst
with blood.
we must learn to suckle life not
bombs and rhetoric
rising up in redwhiteandblue patriotism;

I am here. and my breath/our breaths
must thunder across this land
arousing new breaths. new life.
new people, who will live in peace
and honor.

Canadian Residential Schools, the Last Slave Ship, Slavery through Digital Social Impact

environmental slavery, racism, and Judaic Supremists; The World According to the Eretz Israel!

One hundred and sixty-four years ago, slave traders stole Lorna Gail Woods’ great-great grandfather from what is now Benin in West Africa. Her ancestor, Charlie Lewis, was brutally ripped from his homeland, along with 109 other Africans, and brought to Alabama on the Clotilda, the last known slave ship to arrive in the United States. Today, researchers confirmed that the remains of that vessel, long rumored to exist but elusive for decades, have been found along the Mobile River, near 12 Mile Island and just north of the Mobile Bay delta.

“The excitement and joy is overwhelming,” says Woods, in a voice trembling with emotion. She is 70 years old now. But she’s been hearing stories about her family history and the ship that tore them from their homeland since she was a child in Africatown, a small community just north of Mobile founded by the Clotilda’s survivors after the Civil War.

That slave ship. That illegal slave ship. That fucking Alabama Cheating and Lying White Dirty Family. That history of destroying the ship and going silent on its wehreabouts. That Alabama. That fucking place, but first, environmental racism, which is covered in the documentary, Descendent:

A little bit of Planning 101 for Africatown:

WALTER ISAACSON: I have been absolutely fascinated by the concept of environmental justice. Tell me what that concept means and how you became the father of that.

ROBERT BULLARD, AUTHOR AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCHOLAR: Well, environmental justice embraces the principle that all communities are entitled to equal protection of our housing, transportation, employment, and transportation energy. And so it’s a concept that’s rolled in equal protection, equal access, equal enforcement. And it’s not a fuzzy issue. It’s an issue of the right to live in a neighborhood that’s not overpolluted, a neighborhood where your kids can play outside on the playground that’s not next to a refinery or a chemical plant.

ISAACSON: And that’s how you got into it. It was 1978.

BULLARD: 1978. That was so long ago. And it was an accident. It was an accident. You know, my wife came home one day and said, Bob, I have just sued the state of Texas, and I have sued this company that’s trying to put this landfill in the middle of this suburban middle-class black community in Houston. And she said, I need somebody to collect data for this lawsuit and put the — where the pins are and where the landfills are on a map. And I said, well, you need a sociologist. She said, that’s what you are, right?

(LAUGHTER)

BULLARD: That’s how I got roped into this. I got drafted.

ISAACSON: And you discovered that there were like seven landfills. How many of those seven were in African-American neighborhoods?

BULLARD: Well, what I discovered, from the ’30s up until 1978, that five out of five of the city-owned landfills were in black neighborhoods. Six out of the eight of the city-owned incinerators were in black neighborhoods, and three out of four of the privately owned landfills were in black neighborhoods, even though blacks only made up 25 percent of the population during that period of time. And this is in a city that — it’s the fourth largest city and a city that doesn’t have zoning. So somebody was making these decisions. And what we found is that it was not random. Everybody produces garbage, but everybody doesn’t have to live next to the landfill. And it was not just a poverty thing. The subject of the lawsuit, Bean vs. Southwestern Waste Management, was a middle-class black neighborhood of homeowners; 85 percent of the people owned their homes. And so it was not a poverty park. It was not a ghetto. This was a solid middle-class neighborhood of houses and people and trees.

ISAACSON: The City Council of Houston that’s making that decision back then, what’s the racial makeup of that city council?

BULLARD: All white.

ISAACSON: All seven?

BULLARD: All seven.

ISAACSON: Yes.

BULLARD: So you get this whole idea of environmental justice also means having access to decisions that are being made and making sure that there’s access, and that no one segment of our city or a county or region should be making decisions for other people. And so the idea that this was a policy of not having individuals on the City Council in that room saying, well, let’s not just put all the landfills or the incinerators or the garbage dump in this one area. And so it’s a matter of equity, a matter of fairness and a matter of civil rights.

ISAACSON: And how does climate change affect this?

BULLARD: Well, climate change — if you look at environmental justice, climate change basically overlays this whole issue of who has contributed most and who is going to be impacted the greatest. And if you look at the footprint of climate change — and climate change is more than parts per million and greenhouse gases. It also includes who is most vulnerable. Who is going to have the burden of living in these areas that are going to be hit hard, whether it’s droughts or there’s flooding or whether other kinds of issues. And, again, climate change, sea level rise will exacerbate the inequities that already exist. If people are poor, they’re in low-lying areas that’s prone to flooding, you’re going to get more flooding. You’re going to get more droughts and more disasters. You’re going to get more of issues of the widening gap between haves and have-nots. And you’re going to get this whole piling on effect of not having, you know, a level of resilience to bounce back because of a flood.

ISAACSON: So let’s be specific. You were here for Harvey, right? How many inches of rain did Harvey dump on Houston?

BULLARD: Fifty-two, 53, whatever. Nobody counted on that. I have worked on environmental justice and climate issues and disasters for 40 years, and working with other communities that have been forced to evacuate. I never had to be evacuated until Harvey. In this case, it was very unique for me and very unique for a lot of people, because, in some places, some neighborhoods, some areas had never flooded before.

ISAACSON: How did the city flood, white areas vs. black areas?

BULLARD: Well, if you look at the GIS maps, studies just came out last year showing that the communities that historically that have flooded over a period of time — we’re not talking major storms. We’re talking mostly African-American, Latino areas in terms of the East Side. Divide the city in half. Harvey basically followed that pattern. Even though a large part of the city flooded, the areas that got hit the hardest are the areas that historically have always gotten hit hard.

ISAACSON: Houston is famous for not having many zoning laws. How does that affect things?

BULLARD: Well, as a matter of fact, Houston is a no-zoning city, and it’s very proud of that. It’s unrestrained capitalism. And it means that, historically, it’s the only residential protection land use device is with deed — renewable deed restrictions. But the fact is that we have a lot of our land uses that’s willy-nilly, a lot of building that’s in areas that we probably shouldn’t be building in. And the idea of, how do we make corrective action that’s happened over the last 50, 75 years, it’s hard to do that now. So that means that we have to come up with sensible planning. We have to talk about how we’re going to, in some cases, probably restrict the kinds of development that most cases would be dictated by money, as opposed to some common sense. And so–

ISAACSON: Wait. Give me an example of that.

BULLARD: Well, in terms of a lot of the houses that flooded on the western part of the city were built right up to the reservoirs. And — Addicks, Barker reservoirs. And these — and those houses, we’re not talking low-income, middle-income. We’re talking very well-heeled families, million-dollar, $2 million homes that were built in a floodplain and that were built in the areas that, with an event like Harvey, is bound to flood. And you talk about what it means to provide protection, not just for well- heeled communities, and the idea that, if we can provide the kinds of flood protection and flood mitigation and the kinds of restructuring of our land uses, and allow for some communities to somehow relocate, it has to be a plan that brings a lot of communities to the table. And, historically, Houston has not been a city that has been diverse when it comes to decision-making. It’s been mostly a top-down. And so I think Harvey has brought a lot of rethinking of what that means.

ISAACSON: Has Harvey brought people of different socioeconomic and racial groups together?

BULLARD: Oh, yes. Oh, yes. But you have to look at it and say, it took a biblical flood to bring a lot of the groups and organizations that generally had not worked together on a lot of issues, organizations that work on wetlands and on prairie issues, issues of environment, pollution, industry, transportation. It brought a lot of groups together. We came — almost three dozen groups came together and decided that we need to be talking, we need to be working together. And we came up with this organization named the Coalition for Environment, Equity and Resilience, CEER. And, again, the heart of that whole thinking is an equity lens. And one of the first things we did is, we came together and came up with this framework. And we presented the framework, equity framework, to the county, Harris County. And they basically adopted this whole idea that future development and future funding of projects dealing with Harvey or flood mitigation or going forward must be looked at through an equity lens.

ISAACSON: Houston, how segregated is it racially and economically?

BULLARD: Well, you know, Houston is still segregated. It’s segregated by race, and it’s also segregated by income. And, again, if you look at this whole idea of concentration of white affluent census tracks, or zip codes, you can see that increasing. You can also see the increasing numbers of low-income families, families of color, concentrated in those census tracks, in those areas.

ISAACSON: Wait. Wait. So you’re saying it’s becoming more segregated?

BULLARD: More income-segregated.

ISAACSON: Why?

BULLARD: Well, that’s a big question of the day. And it’s not just a Houston question. We are becoming more and more separate and apart by income. And affluent people feel more comfortable living with affluent people. And, oftentimes, poor people don’t have a choice but live around poor people. And housing choices oftentimes will dictate where people live. And the fact is that Houston and most major cities in this country have a housing affordability issue. And if you have to drive to qualify, which means drive long distances to qualify for housing in terms of ownership, that means that the housing that’s available, people have to settle for less. And more and more people are settling in those areas where they can afford. That means that you’re having more and more concentrated areas with people of color, as well as poor people. Now, that’s not the best way to create healthy, livable, sustainable, resilient cities, but that’s what we get when we let market forces drive it, as opposed to trying to assist and support a sane program of creating more, what — what do they call it, mixed income housing and mixed use.

ISAACSON: Right.

BULLARD: I will tell you another thing. It’s not just the housing being segregated. So is pollution. Pollution is segregated, which means that, as you start getting more and more low-income families and families of color concentrated in areas where there’s lots of pollution, more and more pollution gets put in those areas. And so you get the segregation of income and race, but you also get the income of pollution. And that’s where we say — you know, I wrote a book on this called “The Wrong Complexion for Protection.” And it means that — and I’m not just talking about race. It’s also income. Middle-income African-Americans are more likely to live in neighborhoods — when I say middle income, I’m talking $50,000 to $60,000 — are more likely to live in neighborhoods that are more polluted than whites who make $10,000. You say, how can that be? It means that there is a racial and economic dynamic in housing that allow low-income whites to move into middle-income areas and to exit polluted neighborhoods, whereas institutional racism will keep black families, middle-income, in those neighborhoods.

ISAACSON: After Katrina, we all realized in New Orleans we were in the same boat, and it did bring us together some. And we did rebuild the Lower Ninth Ward, but there was more of an integration of the city. Do you think environmental catastrophes like Harvey will start doing that in places like Houston, make people realize we’re all in the same boat?

BULLARD: Well, you know, I hope we don’t have to wait for a disaster. But it did. And the kinds of — in some cases, these wakeup calls oftentimes are the only thing that will wake us up, and to a reality that — I have a saying, that when we don’t protect the least in our society, we place everybody at risk. We don’t strengthen the levees or we don’t provide flood protection for one segment, we place everybody at risk. When we don’t provide protection in terms of immunization or whatever, then it will place everybody at risk. And so it seems to me that a justice frame, an equity frame should be the logical framework to accept. But, you know, we are a hard-headed society.

(LAUGHTER)

BULLARD: It’s almost like we need a two-by-four to hit us over the head and wake us up and say, aha. And we need those aha moments before disasters hit. But I do think that Houston post-Harvey is a different Houston in terms of thinking, in terms of mind-sets, in terms of thinking about this whole idea that we are a big city, and that we can’t just somehow have communities that are invisible. I wrote a book in 1987 called “Invisible Houston.” Houston in 1987 had the largest African-American population of any city in the South. There were over a half-million black people in Houston, more people than in Atlanta or New Orleans. And so the idea that, even though you had this large black population, the black community was invisible when it came to landfills, incinerators, was invisible when it came to economic development, providing the kinds of growth and planning that will build communities that was — that had those things. Middle-income African-American communities in Houston didn’t have the same kind of amenities as the low-income white communities. So the idea that invisible, that invisibility must be erased, and we must make all communities visible, so that they can join in this new green energy economy and post-disaster to talk about building resilience. There has — you know, when we talk about climate, we talk about climate justice. When we talk about the environment, we talk about environmental justice. When we talk about energy, we talk about energy justice. All these things, when you look at the justice framework, it can apply to almost all the aspects when we talk about issues around sustainability.

ISAACSON: In Houston, and to some extent in all of Texas, the energy industry just doesn’t even like to utter the words climate change. Is it possible to move towards environmental justice without confronting climate change head on?

BULLARD: No, it’s impossible. When we talk about climate change and we talk about environmental justice, when we start connecting, you know, the tissue of climate responsibility and the issue around vulnerability, you can’t get around solutions, real solutions, without talking about justice inequity. That’s why the climate justice frame is a frame that, as I said, is more than just looking at greenhouse gases in parts per million. It brings in the issue of which communities are vulnerable, which communities have contributed least to the crisis, but are feeling the pain right now, first, worst, and longest. That’s true here in Houston. It’s also true in Texas. It’s also true in the United States and globally, this whole issue of vulnerability and the whole issue of, how can we make sure that our plans do not further marginalize already vulnerable populations by creating plans that somehow exacerbate that vulnerability and create more problems for that — quote — “invisible group,” the group that may not necessarily be in the room when they’re deciding what to build and where to spend moneys. That’s the justice part. And even though the state of Texas may not recognize climate change as a concept, the whole issue of vulnerability and the whole issue of severe weather events, you look at the map, and there’s no way for the state not to look at where the hot spots are and where the solutions need to be, where the mitigation and the adaptation will have to occur, no matter whether they believe in it or not. And that’s why I tell people, I said, believing in climate change is not — it’s not the issue. It’s like asking somebody, do you believe in gravity? And it’s not — believing in gravity is not — is not an issue. If you climb up a 50-story building and jump out, gravity will kick in. And so whether you believe it or not, it’s real.

ISAACSON: Dr. Bullard, thank you so very much.

BULLARD: My pleasure. My pleasure. Thank you.

Environmental Racism — Public Health Resources for Understanding Environmental Racism [Wisconsin Chapter]

Historians feared the last known documented slave ship to force enslaved people of African descent to the United States had been forever lost. After all, historical accounts of the slave ship Clotilda ended with its owners torching the 86-foot schooner down to its hull and burying it at the bottom of Alabama’s Mobile Bay. Then, earlier this year, researchers aided by NMAAHC recovered remnants of the Clotilda and, in doing so, expanded our understanding of our American story as part of a bigger human story.

Through the Slave Wrecks Project (SWP), an international network of institutions and researchers hosted by NMAAHC, the Museum has ventured well beyond its walls to search for and find slave shipwrecks around the globe. Shipwrecks have been found off the shores of such countries as South Africa, Mozambique, Senegal, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

When the slave ship Clotilda arrived in the United States in 1860, it marked the persistence of the practice of cruel forced migration of people from Africa: Congress had outlawed the international slave trade more than 50 years before. The ship docked off the shore of Mobile, Alabama, at night to escape the eyes of law enforcement and deposited 110 men, women, and children stolen away from their homeland in modern-day Benin. The ship’s arrival on the cusp of the Civil War is a testament to slavery’s legal presence in America until the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865. After the war, people who had been held captive aboard the ship helped found the community of Africatown, a community that exists to this day.

Alabama Historical Commission

Last year, NMAAHC and SWP joined researchers and archaeologists from the Alabama Historical Commission and SEARCH, Inc., in pursuit of the ship and its history. They scoured the turbulent waters of Alabama’s Mobile River where they located a wrecked ship that matched the dimensions of the Clotilda. Divers were dispatched to collect debris fragments like iron fasteners and wooden planks that were compared against construction details in Clotilda’s registration documents. And in May, after a year of research, scholars reached a confident conclusion: the Clotilda had been positively identified.

Divers recovered two wood sample fragments, including this one, in December 2018 to supplement the previous samples. The samples were consistent with the archival record for Clotilda.

SEARCH, Inc.

For residents of Africatown, the close-knit community founded by people previously enslaved on the Clotilda, the discovery carries a deeply personal significance. SWP particularly focused on making sure the community of Africatown, Alabama, was central to the process of recovering the history and memory, and invited residents and descendants to share their reflections on the importance of this discovery.

While we can find artifacts and archival records, the human connection to the history helps us engage with this American story in a compelling way. The legacies of slavery are still apparent in the community. But the spirit of resistance among the African men, women, and children who arrived on the Clotilda lives on in the descendant community in Africatown.

In 2015, SWP helped recover remnants from the slave ship São José off the coast of Cape Town, South Africa, providing the first archaeological documentation of a vessel lost at sea while transporting slaves. You can view artifacts from the São José in the Museum’s Slavery and Freedom exhibition and in our stunningly illustrated book, From No Return: The 221-Year Journey of the Slave Ship São José.

159 years after its sinking, the Clotilda’s recovery and SWP’s continuing work around the world represent the vital role of the Museum in uncovering facets of our American story that have yet to be told. With the support of our community, we actively pursue new information that expands the way people around the world understand the American story.

The Slave Wrecks Project is one of the things I’m most proud of… It’s really about recognizing that the slave trade is not about yesterday. It’s as much about today and tomorrow… Lonnie Bunch III, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution and Founding Director of the National Museum of African American History and Culture

About the Film

Bones of Crows is a multi-generational epic and story of resilience told through the eyes of Cree Matriarch Aline Spears (played throughout her life by Summer Testawich; Grace Dove, Monkey Beach; and Carla Rae, Rutherford Falls). Removed from their family home and forced into Canada’s residential school system, young musical prodigy Aline and her siblings are plunged into a struggle for survival. Over the next hundred years, Aline and her descendants fight against systemic starvation, racism and sexual abuse—and to build a more just future.

In the face of a rapidly shifting and hostile world, Aline’s remarkable journey moves through memories of residential school, perilous adventures across snowy traplines and classified London bureaus, where she works as a code talker in the Second World War. Supported by her daughter Taylor, a determined lawyer, and granddaughter Percy, the family’s creative force, Aline must find the strength to step into her role as family Matriarch and confront the scars of the past.

A sweeping drama grounded in historical truth, Bones of Crows weaves together underrepresented moments in Canadian and Indigenous history, including the Indigenous contributions to WW2, the ongoing cases of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. Aline’s story enriches our understanding of the past and empowers us to address our collective future.

Oh, those Anglo-Saxon-Francos. Oh, the rapes, infanticide, the nuns, the clerics, the priests and the deacons, and the fucking sick Catholicism.

There are no values to First Nations people in their fucking minds.

A long time ago? NOW.

Oct. 29, 2024: During a news conference on Oct. 29, following the final election results, Conservative Leader John Rustad said Marina Sapozhnikov will not be a candidate for the Conservative Party of B.C. moving forward. Rustad called her comments offensive and said they do not represent him or the party.

A FUCKING Ukrainian, just on track with her racism.

A B.C. Conservative candidate has come under heavy criticism for making derogatory comments about Indigenous people during an election-night interview, sparking widespread condemnation and calls for her removal from the party.

Marina Sapozhnikov’s remarks, initially reported by the Vancouver Sun, included calling Indigenous people “savages” and condemning Indigenous history courses taught in B.C. universities.

Her comments were made during an Oct. 19 interview with Vancouver Island University student Alyona Latsinnik, who later shared the recording with CBC News. In the tape, Sapozhnikov can be heard saying that Indigenous people “were savages” who “fought with each other all the time.”

She also goes on to denounce the NDP government’s adoption of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, claiming it has turned non-Indigenous British Columbians into “second-rate citizens.”

The interview was part of a class assignment, said Latsinnik, an undergraduate student who is majoring in Indigenous studies and taking a journalism class for her minor.

She called the remarks “entirely unexpected.”

“Marina asked me what I’m taking and I told her, and then it all sort of spiralled from there,” Latsinnik told CBC News.

“I never expected anything like that to be said, especially from someone who is running for political office and knows she’s being recorded.”

The VIU student said she made efforts to counter Sapozhnikov’s statements during their interview, and that the experience left her deeply unsettled, describing it as “awful” and “bizarre.”

Latsinnik also reflected on the implications of Sapozhnikov’s comments.

“Unfortunately, comments like this set us back a hundred, 200 years from the progress we’ve made.”

She said she believes that many who supported Sapozhnikov might have reconsidered their choice if they knew about her views.

Undocumented? When the Canadian First Nations signed up in the Canadian military and worked as code talkers, when the war was done, they were not considered Original People’s. Now:

Children would have to show proof of U.S. citizenship or legal immigration status to enroll in a public school under new rules proposed by the Oklahoma Department of Education, a practice that could run afoul of federal law and deter children who are undocumented or from mixed-status families from attending school.

The agency’s proposal states that students without documentation would not be prohibited from enrolling. Supreme Court precedent requires public schools to enroll children living within their districts, whether they are in the country legally or not.

But federal law also bars schools from asking about a student’s citizenship or immigration status to confirm they live in the district as it can have a chilling effect on student enrollment, according to guidance to the U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Department of Education. Neither can schools discourage students from enrolling if they don’t have a birth certificate or if they have a foreign birth certificate.

“The Musk-Johnson proposal is not serious. It’s laughable. Extreme MAGA Republicans are driving us to a government shutdown,” he told reporters.

From that Nazi rag, CFO.com

In the wake of the murder of UnitedHealthcare divisional CEO Brian Armstrong, which has drawn international attention due to widely circulated macabre video footage, New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced last week that her team will host a virtual meeting with 175 companies and their security personnel to discuss “intelligence” that says “a certain class of individuals are being targeted.”

The focus of the meeting will be on how law enforcement and private security teams can work together to keep business leaders safe in New York City. Hochul said the meeting, which will be hosted by Director of State Operations Kathryn Garcia, will be “proactive.”

Confidence Men — and Women.

“The Confidence Man” is set on a riverboat called the “Fidèle,” that is sailing down the Mississippi. As the title implies, the boat is loaded with con men who are either selling stock in failing companies, selling herbal “medicine” that can cure everything from cancer to the common cold, raising money for a fraudulent Seminole Widows and Orphans Society or simply convincing people to give them money outright as a sign that they have “confidence” in their fellow man. The word “confidence” appears in every chapter, as some sort of leitmotif to remind the reader what Melville is preoccupied with: the meanness and exploitation of his contemporary America. Because for all of the references to the need for people to have confidence in one another, the only type of confidence on the riverboat is that associated with scams.

For Melville, the act of scamming represents everything that is wrong in American society in the decade preceding the outbreak of the Civil War. It is a time when the power of capital is transforming the American landscape, turning everything into a commodity.

In a review of Francis Parkman’s “The California and Oregon Trail,” written in 1846, Herman Melville takes note of Parkman’s hatred of the Indian:

“…when in the body of the book we are informed that is difficult for any white man, after a domestication among the Indians, to hold them much better than brutes; we are told too, that to such a person, the slaughter of an Indian is indifferent as the slaughter of a buffalo; with all deference, we beg leave to dissent.”

And what is the dissent based on?

It is based on our belonging to one race, the human race.

Melville says, “We are all of us–Anglo-Saxons, Dyaks and Indians–sprung from one head and made in one image. And if we reject this brotherhood now, we shall be forced to join hands hereafter.”

Oh, one in a million: Nearly 1 million Palestinians in Gaza face winter without shelter – Day 436

Israel kills beloved Gazan grandpa; winter approaches amid severe shortage of shelter, baby formula in Gaza; first month of Gaza war ‘most destructive’ for civilians this century; death, demolition in West Bank; Israeli attacks in Lebanon, Syria; family of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi comments on meeting with Blinken.

The Jews’ rats!

The lives of more than 8,500 infants in Gaza are at risk as milk supplies are “nowhere near enough” in the besieged enclave, the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) has warned.

“One of our only functioning health centers has just 6 boxes to distribute – the first delivery in 3 months,” UNRWA said on Sunday.

With over 200,000 people relying on this clinic for primary health care, dire shortages leave many, including babies and children, at high risk,” the UN agency emphasized.

It said “immediate aid” and a ceasefire “are vital to save lives.”

In the past four months alone, nearly 19,000 children were hospitalized due to acute malnutrition – nearly double the cases in the first half of the year, UNRWA said

You ain’t going to get nothing out of Zyklon Blinken but a bunch of Jerry Seinfeld two stepping.

Family of Turkish American activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, who was killed by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank in September, said it was “frustrating to hear the same things” without meaningful action after meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday.

Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, 26, was killed by Israeli forces Sept. 6 during a peaceful protest against illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. Video evidence and witness accounts indicate that she was directly hit by an Israeli sniper. (**courtesy of family**)

“Secretary was attentive in listening to us, and unfortunately repeated a lot of the same things that we’ve been hearing for the past 20 years, particularly since Rachel Corrie’s killing, who is also a Washington State resident, like my wife. It’s frustrating to hear the same things again,” her husband Hamid Ali told reporters after the meeting at the State Department.

“We hope that things will be different this time around. But as I said, our expectations are what they are,” he said, repeating the family’s call for a US-led investigation into her killing.

Ozden Bennet, Eygi’s sister, said the US is still awaiting for an Israeli investigation, which she said the family does not find “credible”.

“He listened to our frustrations, which were long, and at this point we did leave asking the Secretary of State Blinken to push publicly and put pressure on the Israeli government to at the very least to finish their investigation into my sister’s killing before the change-over in the administration,” she said.

Bennett noted that prior to Monday’s meeting at the State Department, no one from the White House or the Biden administration had reached out to the family to offer condolences when asked about any such contact.

The second strategy, would be a false flag event, blamed on Iran, and used as a pretext for Washington to go to war with Tehran. A strategy that led to the initial “7 countries in 5 years” plan in the first place.

On the morning of September 11th 2001, as chaos unfolded in New York and the world was irrevocably changed forever, a New Jersey housewife noticed another alarming sight from her apartment window. Three young men, kneeling on the roof of a delivery van parked in the car park of her apartment complex, appeared to be in celebratory mood, dancing and high-fiving one another, in spite of the surrounding scenes of the collapsing Towers.

Reporting this incident and the vehicle registration number to the authorities, the van would be stopped by gunpoint later that afternoon, with 5 men aged between 22 and 27 detained at the scene. To the puzzlement of the arresting officers, it would transpire that the men were Israelis, with one of the men – Sivan Kurzberg – announcing upon his arrest “We are Israeli. We are not the problem. Your problems are our problems. The Palestinians are the problem”. $4,700 in cash was found on one of the men, one had two foreign passports, and traces of explosives were detected in the van by sniffer dogs.

Following the arrests of the five men, who would later be dubbed the “Dancing Israelis”, the office of their employers – Urban Moving Systems – would be raided by the FBI the next day, who concluded that there was little evidence to suggest a legitimate business was being operated from the building, owing to the disproportionate amount of computers and electronic equipment present for such a supposedly small company. Returning to the office a month later to conduct a follow-up search, FBI agents would find the building completely abandoned, and that company director Dominick Suter – another Israeli – had fled the United States for Israel two days after being questioned by the FBI on the day of the first raid.

The five Israelis arrested on 9/11 would be continued to be held in detention, with the FBI coming to the conclusion that at least two of them were Mossad operatives. Sivan Kurzberg’s brother Paul had initially refused to take a lie detector test while in custody, and would subsequently fail it when he eventually did. One of his legal team would later state that his reluctance to take part was due to his previous involvement in Israeli intelligence activities in other countries. After 71 days all five would be released on the order of US Attorney General John Ashcroft, who would later set up a consultancy firm that would count the Israeli government as one of its first clients.

Upon their return to Israel in November 2001, all five would be interviewed on the talk show Inside Israel, with one of the men, Oded Ellner, confirming foreknowledge of the attacks by declaring “our purpose was to document the event”. It would later transpire that more than 200 Israelis were arrested in the United States following the attacks, with many posing as arts students and granted special documentation that allowed them access to sensitive government buildings.

One year prior to the attacks, in March 2000, the World Trade Center would play host to the World Views artists in residence programme, which saw walls opened up and windows removed for a planned lighting exhibition that was due to take place on the 90th and 91st floors. In stunning coincidence, this would be where the planes would strike a year later. In even further coincidence, the same year saw the publication of the Rebuilding America’s Defenses document by the Project for the New Century think-tank, which in line with General Wesley Clark’s revelations, envisaged Washington capitalising on its position as the world’s sole superpower following the end of the Cold War and taking a dominant role in world affairs through military force. The document would admit however, that such a policy could only be implemented slowly and incrementally, save for a “catastrophic and cataclysmic event” such as a “new Pearl Harbor”. Such an event would conveniently occur the following year in New York and Virginia, and now looks likely to occur again in the not-too-distant future, with a war on Iran being the intended result.

TRANSCRIPT

DAN RATHER: “Some evil is just … it can’t be explained.”

DAVID LETTERMAN: “Are these people happy? Are they joyous now? Are they celebrating? Thank God?”

DAN RATHER: “Oh absolutely, they’re celebrating. There’s one report, this has not been confirmed but there is several eye[witness] reports that there was a cell, one of these cells across the Hudson River. And they got on the … this is the report and I emphasize that I don’t know this for a fact but there’s several witnesses who say this happened. They got on the roof of a building to look across, they knew what was gonna happen. They were waiting for it to happen and when it happened they celebrated. They jumped for joy.”

In the days after 9/11, while Ground Zero continued to smoulder, millions heard Dan Rather and various media outlets repeat vague and unconfirmed reports of arrests that took place that day. These rumors held that Middle Eastern men, presumably Arabs, were arrested in explosive-packed vans in various places around the city on September 11th, and that some had even been photographing and celebrating those events. What most do not realize is that those reports were not mere rumors, and we now have thousands of pages of FBI, CIA and DOJ reports documenting those arrests.

MARIA: “I grabbed my binoculars and I’m trying to look at the Twin Towers but what caught my attention was down there I see this van parked and I see 3 guys on top of the van. They seemed to be taking a movie and I could see that they were like happy and laughing. They didn’t look shocked to me, you know what I mean? They didn’t look shocked.”

(SOURCE: The Five Dancing Israelis – 9/11/2001 – Our Purpose Was To Document The Event)

The men were spotted shortly after 8:46 AM, yet somehow at this early stage, just minutes after the first plane strike on the World Trade Center, they were already positioned in a parking lot in Liberty State Park, taking pictures of the towers and celebrating. They left the scene shortly after being spotted and at 3:31 PM the FBI issued an all points bulletin advising officers in the Greater New York area to be on the lookout for a “White, 2000 Chevrolet van…with ‘Urban Moving Systems’ sign on back.”

At 3:56 PM, the van was spotted traveling eastward on State Route 3 in New Jersey and pulled over by Officer Scott DeCarlo and Sgt. Dennis Rivelli of the East Rutherford police department. Inside they found five men: Sivan Kurzberg and his brother, Paul, Yaron Shmuel, Oded Ellner, and Omar Marmari.

BERNICE STEGERS: “A major terrorist man-hunt began and, just 6 hours after the attack, the van was stopped at a roadblock by patrolman Scott De Carlo.”

SCOTT De CARLO: “We were asked to detain the van and the passengers. They were just removed from the vehicle, patted down for safety precautions and detained.

“I think once the FBI arrived, one of them stated that they were on our side or something to that effect.”

(SOURCE: The 9/11 Conspiracies – Ch 4)

According to the police report of the incident, Sivan Kurzberg told Officer DeCarlo: “We are Israeli. We are not your problem. Your problems are our problems. The Palestinians are the problem.”

Their official story: they were just Israeli tourists working for a moving company who had heard about the first World Trade Center strike and rushed to get a better view of the events.

BERNICE STEGERS: “They told interrogators they were working for Urban Moving, a shipping and storage firm run by an Israeli businessman, who often employed Israeli students without work permits. The men say there was an innocent explanation for what was found in the van. and their behavior on 9/11. They were, they say, ‘simply on a working holiday.’”

PAUL KURZBERG: “We heard in the news that one of the plane was crashing down the buildings and we thought it was an accident at the beginning. So, we went up to the roof of Urban Moving and we saw the building burning.”

YARON SCHMUEL: “There is a better view from a building in Jersey that is up a hill, straight-line to the World Trade Center. We decided to go up there, it’s 2-3 minutes from the office, stand over there and take some pictures. Everyone wants pictures like this in his camera.”

(SOURCE: The 9/11 Conspiracies – Ch 4)

Although this narrative is still trotted out when the story of the dancing Israelis is raised in the media, it is an easily demonstrable lie.

FBI reports confirm that the men were not taking somber pictures of a horrific event. When their 76 pictures were developed, they revealed the men had indeed been celebrating; smiling, hugging each other, and high-fiving. One of the pictures even featured Sivan Kurzberg holding a lighter up with the burning tower in the background.

And these were no ordinary tourists. Oded Ellner had $4,700 stuffed into his sock. They lied to the police about where they had been that morning. They were carrying plane tickets for immediate departure to different places around the globe. The FBI confirmed that two of the men had ties to Israeli intelligence and came to suspect that they had indeed been on a mission for the Mossad.

And of course, after returning to Israel Ellner claimed on national Israeli TV that they had been sent there “to document the event.”

ODED ELLNER (Translation): “And at that point we were taken for another round of questioning. This time related to us allegedly being members of Mossad.

“The fact of the matter is, we are coming from a country that experiences terror daily. Our purpose was to document the event.”

(SOURCE: Inside Israel)

Their purpose was to “document the event”? But how could they possibly have known what “event” they were documenting at that point, before the second plane strike when those few who even knew about the situation had assumed it to be an accident or pilot error?

And when did they arrive at the parking lot to “document the event” anyway?

The FBI reports show how the men gave confused and often conflicting accounts of when and how they learned about what was happening and when they arrived at the parking lot. Oded Ellner even said they had arrived their shortly after 8:00 AM, which would have been 45 minutes before the attacks even began. This is in line with one of the eyewitnesses that had placed their Urban Moving Systems van at the parking lot at 8:00 AM [see page 33 here]. How could they have been in place and ready to “document the event” unless they knew what was about to happen?

Anyway you cut it, this story is unbelievable. Men with documented connections to Israeli intelligence and working in the United States without appropriate permits were detained after having been caught celebrating the attack on the World Trade Center at a time when no one knew that the WTC strike was an attack. So surely these men are locked behind bars to this day, right? Surely they were transferred to Guantanamo and held without trial for 15 years as part of the “War on Terror,” weren’t they?

No. They were immediately transferred to federal custody, held for 71 days, and then deported back to Israel. The owner of the “Urban Moving Systems” company that had employed them, Dominik Suter, was investigated by the FBI, too. They concluded that “Urban Moving may have been providing cover for an Israeli intelligence operation” and even seized records and computer systems from the company’s offices. When they went back to question him again on September 14th, he had fled back to Israel.

And what about the dancing Israeli’s pictures themselves? The Justice Department destroyed their copies on January 27, 2014.

And these intelligence agents on an intelligence mission who were there to “document the event” of 9/11 before anyone knew 9/11 was taking place? Don’t worry, they were just spying on Arab terrorists.

ELIZABETH VARGAS: “And while the FBI or certain sources might believe that in fact they were Israeli intelligence, they don’t believe that the US was a target. That they were actually investigating Muslim groups?”

JOHN MILLER: “They believe if this was an intelligence operation by Israel, that it was focused on the Islamic groups and charities that raise money for groups that are considered by US Law Enforcement and others terrorist groups. You’ll note that after September 11th, the US moved on many of these groups with indictments, arrests, raids on their headquarters, something that hadn’t happened prior to this.”

ELIZABETH VARGAS: “These are groups that Israel believe have been funding Hamas and other terrorists organizations?”

JOHN MILLER: “Groups that are responsible for most of the suicide bombings there.”

(SOURCE: ABC News 20/20 preview – June 21, 2002)

But this story is not merely preposterous on its face; even the implications of this story are themselves preposterous. If indeed the “official story” is a ridiculous lie, then are we to believe that these crack Israeli Mossad operatives who were presumably aware of the attack that was about to take place had been sent to photograph the burning tower from a parking lot across the Hudson River? And that these specially trained intelligence professionals on their super secret mission were celebrating, high-fiving and going out of their way to be noticed in performance of their task? This is equally preposterous.

The only other possible conclusion is that these men were serving merely as a distraction. That they were not there to photograph for Israeli intelligence one of the most heavily photographed scenes in the world on that morning, but instead to be noticed and arrested as a way to divert attention from a much bigger and more sinister story.

So if they were meant to distract from a bigger story, what story could that possibly be?

BRIT HUME: “It has been more than 16 years since a civilian working for the Navy was charged with passing secrets to Israel. Jonathan Pollard pled guilty to conspiracy to commit espionage and is serving a life sentence. At first Israeli leaders claimed Pollard was part of a rogue operation but later took responsibility for his work.

Now, Fox News has learned some US investigators believe that there are Israelis again very much engaged in spying in and on the US. Who may have known things they didn’t tell us before September 11th. Fox News correspondent Carl Cameron has details in the first of a 4 part series.”

CARL CAMERON: “Since September 11th more than 60 Israelis have been arrested or detained. Either under the new PATRIOT anti-terrorism law or for immigration violations.

“A handful of active Israeli military were among those detained, according to investigators, who say some of the detainees also failed polygraph questions when asked about alleged surveillance activities against and in the Unites States.

“There is no indication that the Israelis were involved in the 9/11 attacks but investigators suspect that the Israelis may have gathered intelligence about the attacks in advance and not shared it. A highly placed investigator said there are “tie-ins” but when asked for details he flatly refused to describe them saying: “Evidence linking these Israelis to 9-11 is classified. I cannot tell you about the evidence that has been gathered. It is classified information.”

“Asked this week about another sprawling investigation and the detention of 60 Israelis since September 11th, the Bush administration treated the questions like hot potatoes.”

ARI FLEISCHER: “I would just refer you to the Department of Justice with it. I’m not familiar with the report.”

COLIN POWELL: “I’m aware that some Israeli citizens have been detained. With respect to why they are being detained and the other aspects of your question, whether it’s because they are in intelligence services or what they were doing, I will defer to the Department of Justice and the FBI to answer that.”

CARL CAMERON: “Beyond the 60 apprehended or detained and many deported since September 11th, another group of 140 Israeli individuals have been arrested and detained in this year. In what government documents describe as, “An organized intelligence gathering operation designed to “penetrate government facilities”.” Most of those individuals said they had served in the Israeli military, which is compulsory there, but they also had, most of them, intelligence expertise and either worked for AMDOCS or other companies in Israel that specialize in wiretapping. Earlier this week the Israeli Embassy here in Washington denied any spying against or in the United States.”

BRIT HUME: “Carl, what about this question of advanced knowledge of what was going to happen on 9/11? How clear are investigators that some Israeli agents may have known something?

CARL CAMERON: “Well it’s very explosive information obviously and there is a great deal of evidence that they say they have collected. None of it necessarily conclusive. It’s more when they put it all together a big question they say is, “How could they have not have known?”, almost a direct quote, Brit.”

(SOURCE: Israeli software spying on US – FOX – Dec 2001)

The most phenomenal part of this report is not that it was eventually erased from the web by Fox News itself, but that it ever made it to the air at all. In December of 2001, Fox News investigative reporter Carl Cameron filed an explosive 4-part series that went in-depth into an Israeli art student spying ring that had been under investigation before 9/11, extensive Israeli wiretapping of sensitive US government communications, and the 60 Israeli spies that were detained in the wake of the September 11th attacks. Unsurprisingly, the story was quickly dropped and no mainstream journalists dared to continue probing into the matter.

This is the real story of Israeli spies and 9/11; not some vague rumours about some dancing Israelis but an FBI dragnet that swept up the largest foreign spying ring ever caught red-handed on American soil. And although the FBI were convinced that these spies knew about 9/11 in advance, their investigations were stifled and the issue was swept under the rug. Rather than making Israel enemy number one in the war on terror, Israel remains to this day the US’ “most important ally.”

HILLARY CLINTON: “And if I’m fortunate enough to be elected President, the United States will re-affirm we have a strong and enduring national interest in Israels security.”

(SOURCE: Hillary Clinton AIPAC Full Speech – March, 2016)

DONALD TRUMP: “In 2001, weeks after the attacks on New York City and on Washington and frankly the attacks on all of us, attacks that were perpetrated by the Islamic fundamentalists, Mayor Rudy Giuliani visited Israel to show solidarity with terror victims. I sent my plane because I backed the mission for Israel 100%.”

(SOURCE: Donald Trump AIPAC Full Speech – March, 2016)

But perhaps this is understandable. After all, we all remember how Yasser Arafat gloated about 9/11 and said it was good for Palestinians, right?

Oh wait, that wasn’t Yasser Arafat. It was Benjamin Netanyahu.

AMY GOODMAN: “The Israeli newspaper, Maariv, has reported Israels former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly said the September 11th attacks have been good for Israel. Netanyahu said:

“We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq.”

(SOURCE: “Sept 11 was good for Israel” – Democracy Now – April 17, 2008)

DONALD TRUMP: “My name is Donald Trump and I’m a big fan of Israel. And frankly a strong Prime Minister, is a strong Israel and you truly have a great Prime Minister in Benajim Netanyahu, there’s nobody like him. He’s a winner, he’s highly respected, he’s highly thought of by all.

“And people really do have great, great respect for whats happened in Israel.

“So vote for Benjamin, terrific guy, terrific leader, great for Israel.”

(SOURCE: Donald Trump Endorsement for Prime Minister Netanyahu)

Given that the ultimate consequence of 9/11 was the beginning of a now 15 year long struggle to transform the Middle East, a struggle that the neocons that went on to populate the Bush administration had been openly advocating since the “Clean Break” policy paper in the mid-1990s, it isn’t hard to see how the September 11th attacks were indeed a boon for Israel. But information linking Israeli spies to advance knowledge of 9/11 remains “classified information.”

In a world of true justice, the dancing Israelis and other Israeli spies with insider advance knowledge of the 9/11 attacks, who openly celebrated those attacks, would be the targets of the “war on terror,” not its beneficiaries.

Fuck it, some news, some flicks/documentaries . . .

On July 9, 1860, more than 100 captive Africans were brought to the shores of Mobile, Alabama, on a ship named the Clotilda, under cover of darkness. The international slave trade had been made illegal in the US in 1808, but human trafficker Timothy Meaher made a bet that he could get around the law with his ship. Today, the residents of Africatown, just north of Mobile, count the Clotilda survivors among their ancestors.

James Foley is a typical and atypical guy, not only the black sheep of his family, but also part of that tribe of Westerners called “conflict/war journalists.” He wasn’t a deep dive thinker when it came to the 5 W’s and 1 H of Syria or Libya, but he was there, and an amazing human, Catholic, sort of what Americans should all have been or will become.

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 10 — A month ago, the death of Bradley Roland Will seemed cut and dried. Mr. Will, an independent New York City journalist was shot in the chest while videotaping a lopsided confrontation between gunmen who supported the beleaguered governor of Oaxaca and protesters demanding his ouster.

Minutes later, the body of Bradley Roland Will, an independent American journalist, was carried away, at left. The case has drawn widespread attention. Pictures of some of the gunmen, with their names, had appeared on the front pages of all the major papers. The two fatal bullets had come from a 9-millimeter pistol like those issued to the police. The case seemed a prosecutor’s dream. That is, until Dec. 1, when a judge freed two of the men photographed shooting at the protesters, citing a lack of evidence.

The ruling provoked accusations from leftists of a cover-up. Indeed, the state’s investigation into the killing of Mr. Will, as well as the deaths of a dozen protesters in the conflict, has drawn so much criticism that federal police raided the state police headquarters on Friday and seized weapons to determine if any had been used in shootings during demonstrations.

Besides underscoring how infrequently killings of journalists and antigovernment protesters are solved in Mexico, the case has drawn widespread attention because it reveals the sad clash of left-wing idealism, personified in Mr. Will, a bearded 36-year-old originally from Illinois, with the murky realities of Mexican politics. Politics often warps investigations here, and Mr. Will’s death in late October has quickly become a contentious issue in the very struggle he had come to document. The protesters with whom Mr. Will was sympathetic said he was killed by government-backed paramilitary thugs who had already killed a dozen others since the conflict here began in May.

They charge that his death is still more proof that the state government remains repressive, its prosecutors willing to cover up crimes by government officials. They also assert that Mr. Will’s death was part of an orchestrated attack on protesters intended to shed enough blood to provoke the federal police to intervene. Mr. Will and three others died in the violence that day.

The killings prompted Vicente Fox, who was president at the time and had resisted getting involved in the conflict, to send in federal police officers and clear the streets. State prosecutors, meanwhile, have built a case that suggests it was the protesters, not the police, who murdered Mr. Will to call attention to their cause. The state attorney, who was appointed by the governor and owes him political allegiance, said the videotape Mr. Will recorded just before two bullets hit him on Oct. 27 suggested that someone at his side shot him, not the gunmen down the street.

The person who shot him was at a distance of no more than two and a half meters, said the prosecutor, Lizbeth Caña Cadez. “He was close” The lack of progress in the case has angered Mr. Will’s parents and friends. They complain that Ms. Caña is trying to steer blame away from police officers and public officials loyal to the governor. Mr. Will’s family, as well as several human rights organizations, has urged the federal government to take over the investigation.

“It’s very frightening what is going on down there,” Mr. Will’s mother, Kathy Will, said in an interview. “They are totally manipulating the case. They are trying to shift the blame off of their people, the paramilitaries:”

Whoever is right, the authorities here have resolved only one of the 13 killings related to the protests in Oaxaca, and it involved off-duty soldiers rather than the local police or officials. Nationwide, when it comes to journalists, the picture is bleaker. At least 38 have been killed in Mexico since April 2005, most of them assassinated after reporting on drug dealers. None of those cases have been solved, despite the appointment of a special federal prosecutor to pursue the killers.

Facade of the new US Embassy in Mexico City. The front of the building is made with pink Mexican cantera stone arranged in rectangles of different sizes and faces a wide courtyard.

The outgoing US ambassador to Mexico, Ken Salazar, said that the largest embassy the US has in the world “underlines the exceptional relationship between our peoples and countries“.

There are three rows of temporary metal and plastic chairs set up in the foreground. lluminated service windows run along the far side of the room, while three massive umbrella-like lamps in the photo's foreground, supported by black posts made of Mexican cantera stone, provide the main lighting.

The government broke ground on the new embassy in February 2018. The US will leave its current building on the grand boulevard “Paseo de la Reforma“ in the Mexican capital, which has been a regular site for marches and protests over the years. [More than 1,400 to be “employed” here!]

The massacre, the cheap federal housing, the raggedy graveyard, the quiet pride and nonchalance of the young Indians in Tupac T-shirts and Wranglers; the contrast between the terror of the past, the tenacity of people here now; and the ubiquitous silent politics of the landscape all against the mental backdrop of the lavish, heavily policed, RV-centric at the Little Big Horn are almost overwhelming. Here you really see it: America as disease.

Indian people live in poverty yet sit on some of the most valuable land in the US. According to Native American scholar Ward Churchill, Indians—whose reservations control 2.5 percent of the nation’s land mass, but whose treaties give them right to one-third of the lower 48—are per capita some of the most mineral- and land-rich people on the planet. Too much attention to Indians as victims, or to Indians as living people still here demanding rights and property, could cause problems for the uranium, oil, coal, and natural gas industries, which operate in large part on treaty land.

No wonder Wounded Knee lacks a federally funded park, with a walking path and placards illustrating the spot where Chief Big Foot bled into the snow. No wonder there have been no big archeological excavations with forensic analysis using the latest technology to match specific slugs to specific rifles and thus reconstruct during the massacre, as has been done at Little Big Horn. No doubt the VFW types and the retired cop I chatted with at Little Big Horn might find a Wounded Knee monument harder to digest. If America were portrayed as thief and thug in the past, might not school children ask awkward questions about the present? — Why Not Wounded Knee? A Tale of Two Monuments By Christian Parenti

Remember, comrades! As long as you have the will to fight, a wooden club is just as lethal as the Dongfeng missile!

The practice of occupation, whether it be Japanese expansionism or Zionism, inflicts atrocities upon innocent civilians as a matter of military strategy. It hopes to use an unending barrage of attacks to create an atmosphere of terror, where the people are unwilling to stand up for themselves. — Shattering the Iron Wall

Dictators ‘r Us.

Jews?

The aftermath of the revolution in Syria is proving every bit as chaotic as some of us predicted. Israel has bombed Syria well over 500 times since its ally HTS took charge of the country. One of the bombed sites was close to Russia’s naval base at Tartus, described as Russia’s only access point to the Mediterranean. There are even reports that Israel has struck Russia’s abandoned T-4 airfield in Syria. It’s easy to see how things might escalate if Israel doesn’t start behaving.

One of the blasts near Tartus was so big, it looked like a nuke had been detonated. It was detected 820km away in western Turkey, where it registered 3.1 on the Richter scale. Unsurprisingly, Israel’s HTS allies are losing patience with the people who helped them capture a country.

The Jewish Media, AKA, Corporate Media, doing their Edward Bernays bidding: The corporate media has ignored numerous reports of HTS executing Alawites and prisoners of war across Syria. It’s not hard to understand why the 80% of the Christian population who fled Syria due to al-Golani’s brutality are nervous about coming home.

Link.

Western journalists have even been asking Syrian rebels to take off their ISIS patches for interviews so it doesn’t look bad. This is rather odd, given we’re told that HTS and ISIS are enemies, and the US has been bombing ISIS to protect Syrians.

The fucking maggots, err, faggots in this US Jewish Controlled Media?

Oh, that fucking Jewish CIA CNN:

Oh, those head choppers, UK or ISIS?

This mess explains why British diplomats have held talks with HTS, even though it’s a criminal offence to speak to a proscribed terror group. Perhaps the British delegation will avoid prosecution by capturing al-Golani and claiming the $10 million price tag that the US has put on his head.

The warrant book reveals that Henry worked out details such as the exact spot for the execution (“upon the Green within our Tower of London”), making clear Kingston should “omit nothing” from his orders.

Borman is joint chief curator for Historic Royal Palaces, the charity that manages the Tower of London, among other sites. She will include the discovery in her forthcoming Channel 5 series, The Fall of Anne Boleyn, which begins in December.

She had visited the National Archives to study the Anne Boleyn trial papers when archivist Sean Cunningham, a Tudor expert, drew her attention to a passage he had discovered in a warrant book. Most of these warrants are “just the minutiae of Tudor government”, she said. “They’re pretty dull. The Tudors were great bureaucrats, and there are an awful lot of these warrant books and account books within the National Archives… It’s thanks to Sean’s eye for detail that it was uncovered.”

Borman argues that, despite the coldness of the instructions, the fact Henry spared Boleyn from being burned – a slow, agonising death – was a real kindness by the standards of the day. A beheading with an axe could also involve several blows, and Henry had specified that Boleyn’s head should be “cut off’, which meant by sword, a more reliable form of execution, but not used in England, which is why he had Cromwell send to Calais for a swordsman.

Henry’s instructions were not followed to the letter, though, partly due to a series of blunders, Borman said. “The execution didn’t take place on Tower Green, which is actually where we still mark it at the Tower today. More recent research has proved that… it was moved to opposite what is today the Waterloo Block, home of the crown jewels.”

No motherfucking CIA CNN fucking rag would interview Vanessa:

Comments from the Vanessa B interview:

Tremendous respect for Beeley and the work she does to try to bring us the actual facts on the ground. Very few journalists have her courage and her nearly unparalleled record of being correct on these issues ~when it matters~ and not just three, or five, or ten years later when it’s safer for one’s career to tell the truth.

Last night I watched Michal Palin (doc) in Iraq , where do the BBC find these people , this one guy stated he was very happy when the Brits and Americans were bombing the place , bombs and rockets all around and he was happy as it would bring change. Today I was in my Local pub here in Ireland when two Ukrainian Women came in with posters and raffle tickets for the ” help the Ukrainian Army” you really could not make this stuff up. I was last in Kiev 10 years ago when the Red and Black flags along with pictures of Stepen Bandara were ubiquitous , people don’t believe facts , only the propaganda and lies of the Western media.

Big Fucking Useless Fucking UN Brother(s):

The United Nations General Assembly will this week adopt the UN Cybercrime Treaty, with the US expected to be among the countries that support the controversial document.

Opponents will then have to hope that various UN member-states would eventually opt not to sign and ratify the treaty, which has variously been described as “flawed” and all the way to being “a threat to free speech and privacy” and a tool for “transnational oppression.”

Among those opponents are human rights and media organizations, as well as tech companies, while doubts have been expressed even by the UN High Commissioner for human rights, among others.

Jew York Times: A key source named by The New York Times as an expert helping to verify the authenticity of internal Hamas documents in a major report in October told Drop Site News he had raised concerns about the veracity of the documents in his interviews with the Times. Israel provided the paper with alleged Hamas meeting minutes as part of its campaign to directly link Iran to the planning of the October 7 attacks.

Salah al-Din al-Awawdeh, whom the paper described as “a Hamas member and a former fighter in its military wing who is now an analyst based in Istanbul,” said a Times reporter only permitted him to review one page of the 30 pages of documents the Times asked him to verify. Al-Awawdeh, according to WhatsApp messages seen by Drop Site News, told a Times reporter that without seeing more of the document “it is hard to judge” its authenticity.

Fucking Hope?

While it is easy to be dragged into a pessimistic outlook, the people of Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria simply cannot afford to do this. In Gaza, while the official death toll has surpassed 45,000, it is much more likely that the true figure is in the hundreds of thousands. The Lebanese people have also suffered immensely, losing nearly 3,000 people to the last Zionist onslaught.

The supply line to Hezbollah has for now been severed, the Syrian State is currently fractured and loses more land to the Zionist regime daily, while the Israelis eye West Bank annexation and continue to pulverise what infrastructure remains in the Gaza Strip. The plot hatched against Lebanon was enormous and led to the deaths of a large portion of Hezbollah’s senior leadership, including the group’s late Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

British-Syrian journalist Richard Medhurst reports on the end of the Syrian Arab Republic as Al Qaeda takes over Damascus and helps Israel and NATO consolidate their stranglehold over Syria.

Richard Thomas Medhurst (1992) is an independent journalist, political commentator, and analyst from the United Kingdom with a focus on international affairs, US politics, and the Middle East.

Medhurst is known for his coverage of the Julian Assange extradition case in London, as one of the only journalists to report on the trial of the WikiLeaks founder from inside the court.

Butchers’ feast.

Oh, this fucking Jewish rag, Mondoweiss, controlled or controlling opposition: “Assad falls in Syria and Israel sees an opportunity for expansion”

This week, we witnessed the extraordinary collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s brutal dictatorship in Syria. After nearly 14 years of civil war, rebel forces launched a stunning assault that overwhelmed Assad’s regime, culminating in their lightning advance on Damascus. Russian forces spirited Assad out of the country to a new life of exile in Moscow.

Cunts at Mondoweiss, calling the fucking head choppers rebel forces, and 14 years of hell created by AmeriKKKa and Israel and UK, a civil war!

Fucking warrants, in the wild wild wild scalping West?

Palestinian bodies are being shredded, evaporated, starved; hospital systematically destroyed; Israel is enabling famine, and on and on.

Biden, Bush, Obama, not butchers? And, the fucking regime of U$A, calls those spades black? Syria’s regime? What about Israel’s butcher regime?

Jews are fucking terrorists, fucking rotten killers, butchers, but not in the mouths of CNN or FOX News or Rachel Fucking Maddow.

Hussam Abu Safiya, the hospital’s director, said that Israeli forces had detonated remote-controlled robots rigged with explosives in places “alarmingly close” to the hospital on Friday night. The explosions blew out windows and doors in the facility and took out the majority of the little water supplies the hospital has left on its rooftop, Safiya said.

“Tonight was one of the most difficult nights we have faced,” said Safiya. Israel has been besieging the hospital for weeks now, evidently seeking to destroy it and the rest of the hospitals in northern Gaza as part of its ethnic cleansing campaign there.

Israeli forces have also continuously carried out drone strikes, with one killing a nurse near the hospital and another killing a doctor from Kamal Adwan who was en route to another hospital in the region on Thursday. Friday’s attacks injured three medical staff, Safiya said.

“As of now, heavy bombing persists throughout the night, accompanied by ongoing destruction of buildings. It is a catastrophic scene, with airstrikes and artillery shelling occurring with unprecedented intensity and frequency,” said the hospital director.

Butchers of the bar and bat mitzvah KLAN: Israel Destroyed North Gaza Hospital’s Water Tanks With Remote-Controlled Robots

Every fucking Jew needs to be________________ . . . Well, fill in the fucking blank:

Israel wasted no time after Bashar al-Assad’s fall to bomb all the Syrian military assets it wanted to keep out of the rebels’ hands – striking nearly 500 targets, destroying the navy, and taking out, it claims, 90% of Syria’s known surface-to-air missiles.

But it is Israel’s capture of Syria’s highest peak, the Mount Hermon summit, that may prove among the most lasting prizes – though officials have insisted that its occupation is temporary.

“This is the highest place in the region, looking upon Lebanon, upon Syria, Israel,” said Efraim Inbar, director of the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security (JISS). “It’s strategically extremely important. There is no substitute for mountains.”

Fucking blue Nazi symbol. Head fucking uSA Jew, Zyklon Blinken, having his hummus and HTS too. Fucking terrorists, thie Wailing Wall White House! The United States has made “direct contact” with the Syrian rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said during a press conference in Aqaba, Jordan on Saturday.

“We’ve been in contact with HTS and with other parties,” Blinken said, referring to the rebels who drove Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from power in a lightning offensive earlier this month.

Goddamn die, Zyklon Blinken. And his brethern. And his family line. And his people, his chosen fucking terrorist people?

Fucking Poison Penury Polluting Ivy League! In a recent paper published in Nature Humanities & Social Sciences Communications along with colleagues Stephen Anderson, Kaja Perina, Frank C. Worrell and Christopher Chabris, we examined a sample of over 26,000 Americans who came from 30 different groups of influential people, ranging from four-star admirals and generals, presidents and vice presidents, Pulitzer Prize-winners, billion dollar startup company founders, National Academy of Sciences members and Harvard faculty. Across the same set of 34 elite schools, we found that, overall, 54.2% of these individuals had attended one of these schools, and this ranged from 11.2% to 25.9% for the generals, admirals and House members and up to 78.9% to 80.9% for the Forbes most powerful men, Harvard faculty and members of the American Philosophical Society. Overall, 36.3% attended one of the Ivy League schools and 16% attended Harvard.

These findings are confirmed by a study of 6,900 by Steven Brint and colleagues published in Sociology of Education, showing that among U.S. cultural elites 1.97% attended Harvard, and among U.S. government and business leaders, 6.3% attended Harvard. These findings are also confirmed more broadly outside the U.S. For example, a recent study by Ricardo Salas-Diaz and Kevin Young published in Global Networks showed among roughly 6,000 global elites a Harvard-educated rate of 9.18% (among the U.S. sample, the rate was 16.19%). The Salas-Diaz and Young findings thus replicate our findings in the U.S. These findings also are aligned with prior work looking at global elites (sample of about 4,000) and the global wealthy (sample of about 18,000).

HARRISON BERGERON

by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

THE YEAR WAS 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren’t only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General.

Some things about living still weren’t quite right, though. April for instance, still drove people crazy by not being springtime. And it was in that clammy month that the H-G men took George and Hazel Bergeron’s fourteen-year-old son, Harrison, away.

It was tragic, all right, but George and Hazel couldn’t think about it very hard. Hazel had a perfectly average intelligence, which meant she couldn’t think about anything except in short bursts. And George, while his intelligence was way above normal, had a little mental handicap radio in his ear. He was required by law to wear it at all times. It was tuned to a government transmitter. Every twenty seconds or so, the transmitter would send out some sharp noise to keep people like George from taking unfair advantage of their brains.

George and Hazel were watching television. There were tears on Hazel’s cheeks, but she’d forgotten for the moment what they were about.

On the television screen were ballerinas.

A buzzer sounded in George’s head. His thoughts fled in panic, like bandits from a burglar alarm.

“That was a real pretty dance, that dance they just did,” said Hazel.

“Huh” said George.

“That dance-it was nice,” said Hazel.

“Yup,” said George. He tried to think a little about the ballerinas. They weren’t really very good-no better than anybody else would have been, anyway. They were burdened with sashweights and bags of birdshot, and their faces were masked, so that no one, seeing a free and graceful gesture or a pretty face, would feel like something the cat drug in. George was toying with the vague notion that maybe dancers shouldn’t be handicapped. But he didn’t get very far with it before another noise in his ear radio scattered his thoughts.

George winced. So did two out of the eight ballerinas.

Hazel saw him wince. Having no mental handicap herself, she had to ask George what the latest sound had been.

“Sounded like somebody hitting a milk bottle with a ball peen hammer,” said George.

“I’d think it would be real interesting, hearing all the different sounds,” said Hazel a little envious. “All the things they think up.”

“Um,” said George.

“Only, if I was Handicapper General, you know what I would do?” said Hazel. Hazel, as a matter of fact, bore a strong resemblance to the Handicapper General, a woman named Diana Moon Glampers. “If I was Diana Moon Glampers,” said Hazel, “I’d have chimes on Sunday-just chimes. Kind of in honor of religion.”

“I could think, if it was just chimes,” said George.

“Well-maybe make ’em real loud,” said Hazel. “I think I’d make a good Handicapper General.”

“Good as anybody else,” said George.

“Who knows better than I do what normal is?” said Hazel.

“Right,” said George. He began to think glimmeringly about his abnormal son who was now in jail, about Harrison, but a twenty-one-gun salute in his head stopped that.

“Boy!” said Hazel, “that was a doozy, wasn’t it?”

It was such a doozy that George was white and trembling, and tears stood on the rims of his red eyes. Two of of the eight ballerinas had collapsed to the studio floor, were holding their temples.

“All of a sudden you look so tired,” said Hazel. “Why don’t you stretch out on the sofa, so’s you can rest your handicap bag on the pillows, honeybunch.” She was referring to the forty-seven pounds of birdshot in a canvas bag, which was padlocked around George’s neck. “Go on and rest the bag for a little while,” she said. “I don’t care if you’re not equal to me for a while.”

George weighed the bag with his hands. “I don’t mind it,” he said. “I don’t notice it any more. It’s just a part of me.”

“You been so tired lately-kind of wore out,” said Hazel. “If there was just some way we could make a little hole in the bottom of the bag, and just take out a few of them lead balls. Just a few.”

“Two years in prison and two thousand dollars fine for every ball I took out,” said George. “I don’t call that a bargain.”

“If you could just take a few out when you came home from work,” said Hazel. “I mean-you don’t compete with anybody around here. You just sit around.”

“If I tried to get away with it,” said George, “then other people’d get away with it-and pretty soon we’d be right back to the dark ages again, with everybody competing against everybody else. You wouldn’t like that, would you?”

“I’d hate it,” said Hazel.

“There you are,” said George. The minute people start cheating on laws, what do you think happens to society?”

If Hazel hadn’t been able to come up with an answer to this question, George couldn’t have supplied one. A siren was going off in his head.

“Reckon it’d fall all apart,” said Hazel.

“What would?” said George blankly.

“Society,” said Hazel uncertainly. “Wasn’t that what you just said?

“Who knows?” said George.

The television program was suddenly interrupted for a news bulletin. It wasn’t clear at first as to what the bulletin was about, since the announcer, like all announcers, had a serious speech impediment. For about half a minute, and in a state of high excitement, the announcer tried to say, “Ladies and Gentlemen.”

He finally gave up, handed the bulletin to a ballerina to read.

“That’s all right-” Hazel said of the announcer, “he tried. That’s the big thing. He tried to do the best he could with what God gave him. He should get a nice raise for trying so hard.”

“Ladies and Gentlemen,” said the ballerina, reading the bulletin. She must have been extraordinarily beautiful, because the mask she wore was hideous. And it was easy to see that she was the strongest and most graceful of all the dancers, for her handicap bags were as big as those worn by two-hundred pound men.

And she had to apologize at once for her voice, which was a very unfair voice for a woman to use. Her voice was a warm, luminous, timeless melody. “Excuse me-” she said, and she began again, making her voice absolutely uncompetitive.

“Harrison Bergeron, age fourteen,” she said in a grackle squawk, “has just escaped from jail, where he was held on suspicion of plotting to overthrow the government. He is a genius and an athlete, is under-handicapped, and should be regarded as extremely dangerous.”

A police photograph of Harrison Bergeron was flashed on the screen-upside down, then sideways, upside down again, then right side up. The picture showed the full length of Harrison against a background calibrated in feet and inches. He was exactly seven feet tall.

The rest of Harrison’s appearance was Halloween and hardware. Nobody had ever born heavier handicaps. He had outgrown hindrances faster than the H-G men could think them up. Instead of a little ear radio for a mental handicap, he wore a tremendous pair of earphones, and spectacles with thick wavy lenses. The spectacles were intended to make him not only half blind, but to give him whanging headaches besides.

Scrap metal was hung all over him. Ordinarily, there was a certain symmetry, a military neatness to the handicaps issued to strong people, but Harrison looked like a walking junkyard. In the race of life, Harrison carried three hundred pounds.

And to offset his good looks, the H-G men required that he wear at all times a red rubber ball for a nose, keep his eyebrows shaved off, and cover his even white teeth with black caps at snaggle-tooth random.

“If you see this boy,” said the ballerina, “do not – I repeat, do not – try to reason with him.”

There was the shriek of a door being torn from its hinges.

Screams and barking cries of consternation came from the television set. The photograph of Harrison Bergeron on the screen jumped again and again, as though dancing to the tune of an earthquake.

George Bergeron correctly identified the earthquake, and well he might have – for many was the time his own home had danced to the same crashing tune. “My God-” said George, “that must be Harrison!”

The realization was blasted from his mind instantly by the sound of an automobile collision in his head.

When George could open his eyes again, the photograph of Harrison was gone. A living, breathing Harrison filled the screen.

Clanking, clownish, and huge, Harrison stood – in the center of the studio. The knob of the uprooted studio door was still in his hand. Ballerinas, technicians, musicians, and announcers cowered on their knees before him, expecting to die.

“I am the Emperor!” cried Harrison. “Do you hear? I am the Emperor! Everybody must do what I say at once!” He stamped his foot and the studio shook.

“Even as I stand here” he bellowed, “crippled, hobbled, sickened – I am a greater ruler than any man who ever lived! Now watch me become what I can become!”

Harrison tore the straps of his handicap harness like wet tissue paper, tore straps guaranteed to support five thousand pounds.

Harrison’s scrap-iron handicaps crashed to the floor.

Harrison thrust his thumbs under the bar of the padlock that secured his head harness. The bar snapped like celery. Harrison smashed his headphones and spectacles against the wall.

He flung away his rubber-ball nose, revealed a man that would have awed Thor, the god of thunder.

“I shall now select my Empress!” he said, looking down on the cowering people. “Let the first woman who dares rise to her feet claim her mate and her throne!”

A moment passed, and then a ballerina arose, swaying like a willow.

Harrison plucked the mental handicap from her ear, snapped off her physical handicaps with marvelous delicacy. Last of all he removed her mask.

She was blindingly beautiful.

“Now-” said Harrison, taking her hand, “shall we show the people the meaning of the word dance? Music!” he commanded.

The musicians scrambled back into their chairs, and Harrison stripped them of their handicaps, too. “Play your best,” he told them, “and I’ll make you barons and dukes and earls.”

The music began. It was normal at first-cheap, silly, false. But Harrison snatched two musicians from their chairs, waved them like batons as he sang the music as he wanted it played. He slammed them back into their chairs.

The music began again and was much improved.

Harrison and his Empress merely listened to the music for a while-listened gravely, as though synchronizing their heartbeats with it.

They shifted their weights to their toes.

Harrison placed his big hands on the girls tiny waist, letting her sense the weightlessness that would soon be hers.

And then, in an explosion of joy and grace, into the air they sprang!

Not only were the laws of the land abandoned, but the law of gravity and the laws of motion as well.

They reeled, whirled, swiveled, flounced, capered, gamboled, and spun.

They leaped like deer on the moon.

The studio ceiling was thirty feet high, but each leap brought the dancers nearer to it.

It became their obvious intention to kiss the ceiling. They kissed it.

And then, neutraling gravity with love and pure will, they remained suspended in air inches below the ceiling, and they kissed each other for a long, long time.

It was then that Diana Moon Glampers, the Handicapper General, came into the studio with a double-barreled ten-gauge shotgun. She fired twice, and the Emperor and the Empress were dead before they hit the floor.

Diana Moon Glampers loaded the gun again. She aimed it at the musicians and told them they had ten seconds to get their handicaps back on.

It was then that the Bergerons’ television tube burned out.

Hazel turned to comment about the blackout to George. But George had gone out into the kitchen for a can of beer.

George came back in with the beer, paused while a handicap signal shook him up. And then he sat down again. “You been crying” he said to Hazel.

“Yup,” she said.

“What about?” he said.

“I forget,” she said. “Something real sad on television.”

“What was it?” he said.

“It’s all kind of mixed up in my mind,” said Hazel.

“Forget sad things,” said George.

“I always do,” said Hazel.

“That’s my girl,” said George. He winced. There was the sound of a rivetting gun in his head.

“Gee – I could tell that one was a doozy,” said Hazel.

“You can say that again,” said George.

“Gee-” said Hazel, “I could tell that one was a doozy.”

Residential Rape and Infanticide Schools by the Catholics

December 15, 2024

… a far cry from the Jewish raping-murdering-starving-poisoning-maiming State of Jewish Israel

Yeah, those dirty rotten Catholics! If you can, watch the pensive and First Nation filmed and produced documentary.

#Sugarcane had its world premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Grand Jury Award for Directing for directors #JulianBraveNoiseCat & #EmilyKassie. The documentary follows an investigation into the Canadian Indian residential school system, sparking a profound reckoning for survivors and their descendants. Julian Brave NoiseCat & Emily Kassie were kind enough to lend #NextBestPicture contributor #DanielHowat some time to talk about their experience making the film. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in limited release in the United States and Canada and will expand to other cities starting August 16th by #NationalGeographic #Documentary Films through Variance Films in the United States and Films We Like in Canada.

Yeah, those dirty Jewish “people.”

Those 66% of damaged buildings in the Gaza Strip account for 163,778 structures in total. This includes 52,564 structures that have been destroyed, 18,913 severely damaged, 35,591 possibly damaged structures and 56,710 moderately affected.

War crimes? Jews write the laws, man, so all of this is mowing their lawns.

“Our people are facing a genuine and worsening humanitarian catastrophe due to the Israeli occupation army’s destruction of over 60% of the homes and residential units in the Gaza Strip, especially in the Gaza and North Gaza governorates. The residential units housed more than 50,000 families who lost their homes entirely, in addition to 250,000 housing units partially destroyed by the occupation.”

Regarding the state of the health sector in Gaza, the media office said it “is still experiencing a severe collapse. More than 26 hospitals and 55 health centers have ceased operations due to the targeting, bombing, occupation, destruction and blowing up of hospitals.”

But then Jews can needle into your fucking bodies and health many ways:

Dr. Mehmet Oz, the “former daytime television fixture” who U.S. President-elect Donald Trump picked to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, reported “up to $56 million in investments in three companies” with direct CMS interests, the watchdog Accountable.US highlighted Friday.

The celebrity heart surgeon is already under fire for his record of peddling “baseless or wrong” health advice and pushing Medicare Advantage (MA)—an alternative to the government-run program administered by private health insurance companies—on The Dr. Oz Show, as well as his stake in UnitedHealth and CVS Health.

Three Hitlers in one frame:

Israel’s own New York Hitler gets a warm welcome: Requim for a dream, and welcome the nightmare of Dumb as Fuck Goyim cheering their Hitler:

President-elect Donald Trump huddled with allies and a Republican cause célèbre at Saturday’s Army-Navy football game, taking in one of the most storied rivalries in college sports while spotlighting his emerging national security team.

Trump was joined by Vice President-elect JD Vance, embattled Pentagon pick Pete Hegseth, potential backup defense secretary option Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and others to watch Navy beat Army 31-13 in the 125th matchup between the service academies.

Daniel Penny, a military veteran who was acquitted of criminally negligent homicide this past week in the chokehold death of an agitated subway rider in New York, also was a guest in the president’s suite. Penny was invited by Vance, who accused prosecutors of trying to “ruin” Penny’s life by charging the Marine veteran in the death of Jordan Neely in 2023. [IT’S the fucking Trump White Republican-MAGA way. RACISM.]

Jewish lawyers on the prowl — sexual assault isn’t rape. ABC News has agreed to pay $15m (£12m) to US President-elect Donald Trump to settle a defamation lawsuit after its star anchor falsely said he had been found “liable for rape”.

George Stephanopoulos made the statements repeatedly during an interview on 10 March this year while challenging a congresswoman about her support for Trump.

A jury in a civil case last year determined Trump was liable for “sexual abuse”, which has a specific definition under New York law.

As part of Saturday’s settlement, first reported by Fox News Digital, ABC will also publish a statement expressing its “regret” for the statements by Stephanopoulos.

The Jews are coming for my scarves: A Nativity scene made by artisans from Bethlehem was the source of controversy this week for including a Palestinian keffiyeh with the child Jesus in the manger — but according to the project’s organizer, the headscarf was a last-minute decision meant only to represent Palestinians.

The keffiyeh was visible during the presentation of the Bethlehem Nativity to Pope Francis in the Vatican’s Paul VI Hall on Dec. 7. By Dec. 11, four days later, the headscarf, manger, and Jesus sculpture had been removed from the scene without explanation.

Amid the Israel-Hamas war, the black-and-white checkered keffiyeh has become a symbol for the Palestinian cause. But Johny Andonia, a 39-year-old artist from Bethlehem who led the project, said it is just a symbol to represent or show the “existence” of Palestinians.

More chosen people giving the world its spin: OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever [Jewish, Russian, Jewish, Jerusalem, Jewish, Canada] spoke on a range of topics at NeurIPS, the annual AI conference, Friday afternoon before accepting an award for his contributions to the field.

Sutskever gave his predictions for “superintelligent AI” — AI more capable than humans at many tasks, which he believes will be achieved at some point. Superintelligent AI will be “different, qualitatively” from the AI we have today, Sutskever said — and in some aspects unrecognizable.

“[Superintelligent] systems are actually going to be agentic in a real way,” Sutskever said, as opposed to the current crop of “very slightly agentic” AI. They’ll “reason” and, as a result, become more unpredictable. They’ll understand things from limited data. And they’ll be self-aware, Sutskever believes.

Jews rustling up new recipes to make it look like SUICIDE. Hummus and Henlock!

An OpenAI researcher-turned-whistleblower has been found dead in an apartment in San Francisco, authorities said.

The body of Suchir Balaji, 26, was discovered on 26 November after police said they received a call asking officers to check on his wellbeing.

The San Francisco medical examiner’s office determined his death to be suicide and police found no evidence of foul play.

In recent months Mr Balaji had publicly spoken out against artificial intelligence company OpenAI’s practices, which has been fighting a number of lawsuits relating to its data-gathering practices.

Not to leave out other flavors of Terrorists, Goyim Central.

The Waltons have reclaimed the title of the world’s wealthiest family
The Walmart family fortune has grown by 66% since last year to a record $432 billion.

Genocide Joe and his Minyan sending billions more murder weapons to the Jew Zelensky, while the water burns!

Colorado environmental regulators may eradicate rules that keep some polluted groundwater from being discharged into the state’s rivers and streams, alarming environmental advocates who fear the change could further harm already polluted urban waterways.

Back to the Jewish INSANITY:

Activists staged a guerrilla protest at the Noguchi Museum over the weekend, placing critical wall labels condemning the institution’s ban on keffiyehs. The intervention coincides with museum workers filing a petition to unionize, highlighting ongoing tensions over leadership decisions and staff grievances.

The Noguchi Museum has faced significant public scrutiny following its controversial keffiyeh ban, which was introduced in August after members of staff wore the traditional Palestinian scarves that has come to symbolize solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. The policy sparked protests, a staff walkout, and widespread media coverage, further intensifying debates about workplace culture and free expression at the institution. Three staff members were fired for not complying with the mandate.

More Jewish news — oh, those Google and Mossad and Facebook CIA driven data centers!

If utility company Portland General Electric gets the approval of regulators, 2025 will be the fifth year since 2020 where customers saw a rate increase. But it will also coincide with growing concerns that high-tech infrastructure, namely big data centers, could be having an outsized impact on power costs.

Finally, this fucking Zionist licking up Jewish tools of AI: Despite previously using artificial intelligence tools to help resuscitate old John Lennon vocals, fellow Beatle Paul McCartney is now singing a different tune about the tech.

Paul McCartney has refused to cancel an upcoming concert in Israel. He will go ahead with a gig in honour of the country’s 60th anniversary.

“I do what I think and I have many friends who support Israel,” McCartney told Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth this weekend.

As the Guardian reports, the benighted Beatle has issued a statement ahead of the UK parliament’s debate over amending its data bill to allow artists to exclude their work from AI training data. In it, McCartney warned that AI may take over the industry if nobody takes a stand.

“We[’ve] got to be careful about it,” the Beatle said, “because it could just take over and we don’t want that to happen, particularly for the young composers and writers [for] who, it may be the only way they[’re] gonna make a career.”

“If AI wipes that out,” he continued, “that would be a very sad thing indeed.”

In a recent media interview McCartney confessed, “I was approached by different groups and political bodies who asked me not to come here. I refused. I do what I think, and I have many friends who support Israel.” Public opinion in the UK, however, does not support Israel’s occupation and violation of international law. Media reports revealed, furthermore, that many in Liverpool itself are apprehensive towards McCartney’s gig in Israel. Now Sir Paul will have far fewer friends across the world, those who still uphold human rights and abhor apartheid.

Adding insult to injury, McCartney told the media,

“I’ve heard so many great things about Tel Aviv and Israel, but hearing is one thing and experiencing it for yourself is another.”

Hadn’t he heard even greater things about Sun City in South Africa, too? Would that have been enough for him to ignore the South African anti-apartheid movement’s call for boycott?

Israel is recognized by the United Nations and the overwhelming majority of nations across the world as a repressive occupying power that maintains illegal colonies in the occupied Palestinian territory (OPT) and persistently violates international law.

Despite our denunciation of Paul McCartney’s effective complicity in covering up Israel’s occupation and system of racial oppression, the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) strongly and unequivocally condemns any violent threats made against him or, for that matter, against any other cultural or academic figure who decides to visit Israel in violation of the Palestinian boycott of Israel. As a civil resistance movement whose message is anchored in an unwavering commitment to universal human rights and ethical responsibility, we strive to persuade people, to appeal to their minds and hearts to boycott Israel — through campaigns of public awareness raising and non-violent pressure — due to its occupation, racist oppression and unique system of apartheid.

about as radical one can go in the smalltown newspaper which is down by the count — once-a-fucking-week

Original publication.

Dang, I hate to tell so many friends, colleagues, volunteers, students and neighbors “I told you so,” but here we are: the sadly bumbling Biden and Jill getting fancy duds ready for the Jan. 20th inauguration of, well, another sadly bumbling but now dangerous twice-risen POTUS. You know, that fascist and that neo-Nazi, Trump; even called those aspersions by Marco Rubio and RFK, Jr., two more bumblers in his cabinet.

And here we are, out with the old and in with the really old, as December is a month packed full of awareness dates.

Before heading on with those interestingly parallel and synchronous days, I have to make it clear that for more than 55 years of my life I have always made it a point that if we can’t talk about the issues, the impending negatives heaped upon us, the 80 Percenters by what I have called (Republicans and Democrats) the Uni-Party, then we shall continue to receive what we failed to sow

And sowing is really the point of Bill of Rights Day (Dec. 15) — the right to question all government agencies, which includes questioning those controlling the government. While the constitution supposedly outlines the basic framework of a representative government, a bill of rights deals with individual liberties and freedoms. Without it, the federal government would have vastly more power than it already does, and the rights of the individual would be in constant jeopardy.

So read up on what Trump and Company envisage for me the teacher, the writer, the activist, the volunteer and, me, the radical dissenter. His goal is dictatorial power in the executive branch, the opposite of a revolutionary new American government.

Here, then, as a follow up, we have plethora of International Days — for Migrants, Human Rights, Human Solidarity, Trans Youth, Animal Rights, Persons with Disabilities, Volunteer, and Ending Violence Against Sex Workers.

Freedoms and democracies are tied to how informed and robustly communicative and fully critically thinking a society is. Yep, those that failed to vote for either Harris or Trump outnumber the votes cast for either of the presidential candidates. Drum roll … close to 90 million Americans who were eligible to vote did not.

I doubt that the monikers Genocide Joe and Holocaust Harris gave Trump that many additional votes, since Trump is full-bore Zionist and backer of scorched earth and human splaying seen through Israeli policy, which his friend Bibi Netanyahu carries out hourly. Did those 90 million just see the futility voting for either one in this Uni-Party system?

The irony and sadness aren’t lost on December being International Genocide Prevention Day, certainly a failed day on many levels with this ethnic cleansing, removal and bombardment of Palestinians now going on over a year.

“Never again” has turned into a statement of, “Well, if Israel says it’s time to call people human cockroaches/animals/rats, and decides to murder them with U.S. weapons, then again is acceptable.” “Never again” was a slogan associated with the lessons of the Holocaust. The slogan was used by liberated prisoners at Buchenwald concentration camp to denounce fascism/genocide. Ironically, if you look at Never Again Action’s work, we see another verboten under a Trump LLC regime: It’s a Jewish-led mobilization against the persecution, detention, and deportation of immigrants in the United States.

Forget about discussing these facts in the new Handmaid’s Tale K12 school system coming to a town near you: conflict, insecurity, and the effects of climate change have heavily contributed to the forced movement of people — both within their home countries or across borders. Over 59 million were internally displaced by the end of 2021.

That’s the diametrically opposed belief of Trump LLC and Company, which wants to engage in mass deportations on Jan. 20. Screw the reality that because of lack of safe and regular migration pathways, tens of millions continue to take dangerous journeys each year, and in 10 years, those that we can count, more than 50,000 migrants have lost their lives on migratory routes across the world.

Forget about discussing this in a high school class once the Draconian measures of dumb downing and brainwashing start taking effect.

Now, we have the Nobel Prize Day, which over the years has become a sham. That sham has precipitated the “alternative Nobel Prize” — The Right Livelihood awards are given out in December.

An international jury, invited by the five regular Right Livelihood Award board members, decides the awards in such fields as environmental protection, human rights, sustainable development, health, education, and peace. It was started in 1980 by German-Swedish philanthropist Jakob von Uexküll.

Oh, the ironies, the duplicities and the devolution of the American mind, culture, society, economy.

Do we even have the head space to discuss animal rights or trans youth rights? Alas, even those sex workers, do they have a right to rights?

Finally, the International Day of Persons with Disabilities is a huge coverall for all sorts of disabilities — physical, developmental, intellectual, psychological and neurological. I’ve written before how those living with DD/ID have to watch how much money they save, and they will lose Medicaid if two marry. Forget about the SNAP benefits and subsidized housing. All of this now is on the cutting board.

With that, your holiday season is best spent with family and friends talking, not just eating. That’s the greatest gift you can give — truth.

The stuff the Trumpers and Joy Club never ever listen to:

Then, those fucking Jewish Traits, those Jewish Values: “They Identified Themselves!” Israeli Forces Proudly Exhibit Their War Crimes

What can’t be taught or published in mainstream-main scum media

A groundbreaking new Al Jazeera documentary exposes the horrific war crimes and sadistic activities carried out by Israeli soldiers during its ongoing genocide in Gaza over the last year and reveals the identities of the perpetrators. But director Richard Sanders says finding information about the soldiers was not difficult because “they identified themselves” – many of the soldiers had actually uploaded the footage to their personal social media pages and sometimes even to their online dating profiles. Richard Sanders is a British journalist and award-winning filmmaker who also directed Al Jazeera’s The Labour Files and October 7 documentaries. Ahmed Alnaouq is a Palestinian journalist from Gaza.

Jews: Now, calling them Israeli soldiers is a farce!

The falacy is there are going to be some arbiter of war crimes? Look at this piece of trash:

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said there were signs of hope in Syria following the overthrow of President Bashar al-Assad by rebel forces over the weekend.

“As we speak, we are witnessing the reshaping of the Middle East. … We also see some signs of hope, and signs of hope namely coming from the end of the Syrian dictatorship,” Guterres said during a visit to South Africa on Wednesday.

The stuff these fucking AMeriKKKan pigs never live with cuz they don’t listen, hear, speak, mouth, see, vision EVIL.

Freedom is a cornerstone of any nation’s identity and the foundation of its sovereignty. Human liberty is not just an ideal—it is a fundamental aspect of our existence. But true freedom for a nation requires more than rhetoric; it demands a robust national framework rooted in self-reliance and independence.

To build a free and sovereign Syria, we must establish a national economy grounded in industry, agriculture, energy, and technology. These sectors are the pillars of independence, allowing a country to thrive and grow for the benefit of its people. Yet economic independence cannot exist without the protection of a strong national army. History and political reality teach us that sovereignty is impossible without the capability to deter foreign interference.

The current state of Syria underscores this point. Without a functional national army, expecting Syria to achieve independence is not just unrealistic—it defies basic political logic. The path to a new Syria begins with reclaiming control over its natural resources, rebuilding a capable military, and focusing on economic growth. This vision, however, is obstructed by the blatant interventions of imperial powers and their persuasion of actors like HTS (Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham).

Consider this: HTS has been propped up by millions of dollars in foreign funding. Without this financial lifeline, the group would collapse, exposing the true source of its power—foreign agendas. This is not about Syria’s freedom; it is about control.

To forge a free Syria, we must focus on exposing and resisting these foreign influences. Sovereignty is won when a nation takes back its resources, secures its borders, and invests in its people—not when it bows to external powers. Follow the money, and you will see who truly pulls the strings. Only then can Syria reclaim its rightful freedom and future.

If only TRUTH would be served up for fucking holiday season:

The aim of public education is not] to fill the young of the species with knowledge and awaken their intelligence. . . . Nothing could be further from the truth. The aim . . . is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality. That is its aim in the United States. . . . “ – Henry Mencken, The American Mercury, April 1924.

“If the right-wing billionaires and apostles of corporate power have their way, public schools will become ‘dead zones of the imagination,’ reduced to anti-public spaces that wage an assault on critical thinking, civic literacy and historical memory.” – Henry Giroux, 2013.

Nutshells: According to the U.S. Department of Defense and the Chicago Police Department, U.S. war-time deaths from 2001 to 2020 in Afghanistan and Iraq were estimated at over 7,000. The documentary reveals the comparable Chicago figure as 10,000 deaths.

“When you have more people who are dying in Chicago than have died in Afghanistan, then you have a war on your hands,” says Pastor Corey Brooks, a key figure of the film.

Nicknamed the “Gangbanger Pastor” for his eight years preaching on the street, Brooks knows firsthand the chaos demolishing the community. Between 2010 and 2014, gang violence killed 114 school children. Moreover, while mid-filming, the city endured one of its bloodiest weekends yet, with 72 individuals shot and 13 fatalities. Over the past decade, communities have had to count more than the incalculable human cost. The University of Chicago’s Crime Lab, dating back to 2009, highlights the social costs of violence to the city. Earlier estimates place the price tag to the city at roughly $2.5 billion per year and growing.

However, what’s even more frightening is the data underscoring the real war on the streets.

The CPS closures of 2013 shut down 50 schools and slashed 850 jobs. These cuts forced children to attend schools across neighboring gang territory, resulting in an increase of homicides, though the projected outcome promised higher grade-point averages.

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

In a reality-based assessment of U.S. crimes, the serious offenses begin beyond that threshold. Here’s Blum’s list of over 50 foreign leaders whom the United States has attempted to assassinate:

1949 – Kim Koo, Korean opposition leader
1950s – CIA/Neo-Nazi hit list of more than 200 political figures in West Germany to be “put out of the way” in the event of a Soviet invasion
1950s – Chou En-lai, Prime minister of China, several attempts on his life
1950s, 1962 – Sukarno, President of Indonesia
1951 – Kim Il Sung, Premier of North Korea
1953 – Mohammed Mossadegh, Prime Minister of Iran
1950s (mid) – Claro M. Recto, Philippines opposition leader
1955 – Jawaharlal Nehru, Prime Minister of India
1957 – Gamal Abdul Nasser, President of Egypt
1959, 1963, 1969 – Norodom Sihanouk, leader of Cambodia
1960 – Brig. Gen. Abdul Karim Kassem, leader of Iraq
1950s-70s – José Figueres, President of Costa Rica, two attempts on his life
1961 – Francois “Papa Doc” Duvalier, leader of Haiti
1961 – Patrice Lumumba, Prime Minister of the Congo (Zaire)
1961 – Gen. Rafael Trujillo, leader of Dominican Republic
1963 – Ngo Dinh Diem, President of South Vietnam
1960s-70s – Fidel Castro, President of Cuba, many attempts on his life
1960s – Raúl Castro, high official in government of Cuba
1965 – Francisco Caamaño, Dominican Republic opposition leader
1965-6 – Charles de Gaulle, President of France
1967 – Che Guevara, Cuban leader
1970 – Salvador Allende, President of Chile
1970 – Gen. Rene Schneider, Commander-in-Chief of Army, Chile
1970s, 1981 – General Omar Torrijos, leader of Panama
1972 – General Manuel Noriega, Chief of Panama Intelligence
1975 – Mobutu Sese Seko, President of Zaire
1976 – Michael Manley, Prime Minister of Jamaica
1980-1986 – Muammar Qaddafi, leader of Libya, several plots and attempts upon his life
1982 – Ayatollah Khomeini, leader of Iran
1983 – Gen. Ahmed Dlimi, Moroccan Army commander
1983 – Miguel d’Escoto, Foreign Minister of Nicaragua
1984 – The nine comandantes of the Sandinista National Directorate
1985 – Sheikh Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah, Lebanese Shiite leader (80 people killed in the attempt)
1991 – Saddam Hussein, leader of Iraq
1993 – Mohamed Farah Aideed, prominent clan leader of Somalia
1998, 2001-2 – Osama bin Laden, leading Islamic militant
1999 – Slobodan Milosevic, President of Yugoslavia
2002 – Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, Afghan Islamic leader and warlord
2003 – Saddam Hussein and his two sons
2011 – Muammar Qaddafi, leader of Libya

something about two-bit Hitler Actor Trump needs to go the Easy Bake Oven Way!

Hitler!

“We’re like a garbage can for the rest of the world to dump the people that they don’t want,” Trump told supporters Friday in Austin.

As many Americans are trying to figure out what kind of president they have just elected, the people of Balmedie, a small village outside the once oil-rich city of Aberdeen, say they have a pretty good idea. In the 10 years since Trump first visited, vowing to build “the world’s greatest golf course” on an environmentally protected site featuring 4,000-year-old sand dunes, they have seen him lash out at anyone standing in his way. They say they watched him win public support for his golf course with grand promises, then watched him break them one by one.

A promised $1.25 billion investment has shrunk to what his opponents say is at most $50 million. Six thousand jobs have dwindled to 95. Two golf courses to one. An eight-story 450-room luxury hotel never materialized, nor did 950 time-share apartments. Instead, an existing manor house was converted into a 16-room boutique hotel. Trump International Golf Links, which opened in 2012, lost $1.36 million last year, according to public accounts.

Trump in a nutshell, err, rubbage bin:

President-elect Donald Trump has already built a wall — not on the border with Mexico, but on the border of his exclusive golf course in northeastern Scotland, blocking the sea view of local residents who refused to sell their homes.

And then he sent them the bill.

David and Moira Milne had already been threatened with legal action by Trump’s lawyers, who claimed a corner of their garage belonged to him, when they came home from work one day to find his staff building a fence around their garden. Two rows of grown trees went up next, blocking the view. Their water and electricity lines were temporarily cut. And then a bill for about $3,500 arrived in the mail, which, David Milne said, went straight into the trash.

Look at “it” donating millions for the faggot Trump and this fucking germ-filled fucking Rich Fucking Bastards Nazi Ball — Hitler and Fascism with a new Big Mac flavor.

Tech billionaires have started lining up to donate to President-elect Donald Trump‘s 2025 fund, with three of the biggest names already pledging $1 million each to a man who has threatened the tech industry over the past year.

[Listen to this fucking Klanadian fucking CUNT, in one of those non-academic fucked up fields, strategic management . . . ]

“Americans voted for Trump. The perceived danger of supporting him is… it seems, just perception,” Gwyneth Edwards, Associate Professor of Strategic Management at the University of Montreal’s business school, told Newsweek. “I doubt that the billionaires are afraid – but I do think they see this as an excellent opportunity,” she said.

OpenAI’s Sam Altman on Friday announced he would make a $1 million donation to Trump’s inauguration fund, matching the same pledge made by Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon Executive Chairman Jeff Bezos.

An OpenAI spokesperson confirmed to Newsweek that Altman will make a “personal donation” to the fund, and Altman in a statement added, “President Trump will lead our country into the age of AI, and I am eager to support his efforts to ensure America stays ahead.”

Newsweek reached out to Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Meta, Amazon and the Trump transition team by email on Friday afternoon for comment.

Drones, mother fuckers, swarms of drones, that’s the Trump Fucking Nazi Ticket. And these fucking Bat Mitzvah freaks like Zuckerberg and Altman, they are dialed in.

Al-Akhbar Report

“Israel” has launched its most aggressive and extensive military campaign in Syria since the October War of 1973, following the collapse of President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, his flight to Russia, and the subsequent dissolution of the Syrian army. Israeli forces, operating by land and air, have systematically destroyed remaining military assets, targeting equipment and infrastructure in a comprehensive assault aimed at consolidating control over an 80-kilometer buffer zone established under the 1974 “Disengagement Agreement.” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared the agreement null and void in the wake of Assad’s fall. According to reports from the region, Israeli forces have penetrated between 9 and 20 kilometers into Syrian territory and now occupy key positions, including the summit of Mount Hermon, while advancing towards Sa’sa’.

The invasion has displaced residents of multiple villages and towns, imposed curfews, and restricted movement, further undermining local stability. Despite initial reassurances to residents that the actions were temporary, subsequent evacuations in the Quneitra countryside exposed the misleading nature of these claims. Ground incursions have been reported in the Yarmouk Basin of Daraa, with Israeli forces temporarily withdrawing to the buffer zone after advancing into certain areas.

Efforts to verify the extent of the Israeli campaign have been hindered by the occupation’s restrictions on media access, including warning shots fired at an Arab press crew approaching the operational zones. These constraints, coupled with the curfews and a media focus on Syria’s dire internal conditions, obscure the full reality of the situation. However, the destruction of remaining Syrian military infrastructure, including research centers, through continuous airstrikes and ground operations, is undeniable.

The broader Arab and international reaction has been muted, with only limited condemnations and warnings. Ahmed al-Sharaa (Abu Muhammad al-Julani), head of the military operations room controlling parts of Syria, has publicly distanced himself from the conflict, stating that Syria will not engage in another war. Meanwhile, Israeli actions have disrupted the work of UN peacekeeping forces in the buffer zone, prompting the deployment of additional reinforcements, even as they acknowledge the challenges posed by the Israeli incursions.

Amid this backdrop, US officials, including National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, have visited Tel Aviv to coordinate with top Israeli security and political leaders. The discussions underline American support for “Israel’s” operations in Syria, with Netanyahu emphasizing that his forces will not withdraw from the buffer zone, signaling plans to entrench the occupation and expand territorial control. This escalation aligns with a broader strategy of imposing a new reality on the ground ahead of Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration, recalling his administration’s prior recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the occupied Syrian Golan Heights.

USA, Gaza, Middle East, Africa, Ukraine — proving grounds for Mossad, Unit 8200, Palantir, NSO, and ten thousand other Nazi Tech Org’s.

All the people panicked about mysterious swarms of drones in the skies above New Jersey shouldn’t turn to Colorado for help solving the mystery because there are still no answers for the drones that showed up over the state’s Eastern Plains four years ago. The reported drones in New Jersey are strange. The story also feels strangely familiar to what we saw in eastern Colorado in 2020. The Colorado Department of Public Safety tallied more than 110 reports of drones between November 2019 and January 2020. Some were determined to be small hobby drones; others were planes. The department only said there were no instances of illegal drone activity. No official final report was ever released on whether there was a large swarm of drones flying over northeastern Colorado.

Fucking Infants, but the Edward Bernays DNA package, offspring, spawn, Spielberg, he brings it on strong for the fucking GOYIM.

Another bar mitzvah fellow slumming in a bar mitzvah’s flick — Dreyfuss plays an electrical lineman . . . no JEW on earth does that in AmeriKKKa. [Richard Dreyfuss is Jewish. His mother is Jewish, and his family is Jewish, descended from immigrants from Russia and Poland. He has commented that he “grew up thinking that Alfred Dreyfus and [he] are from the same family”]

More perverse wisdom from the Talmudics:

Cold, calculated, fucking Jews: A Plague on the Horizon: Concerns on the Proliferation of Drone Swarms [Go to the endnotes and then prove to me this isn’t the Century of the Swarming Jews!!]

In a July 2020 report, New America identified 38 states with armed drone programmes, 11 of which had used armed drones in combat.^[1] Twenty-eight more states have programmes in development.^[2] Global exports enable the rapid proliferation of drones, as states share drone technology with others. The US, Israel, and China have been the largest exporters.^[3] Iran has also helped non-state allies—Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthi rebels—acquire drones.^[4] The expanding, broad commercial drone industry and simple do-it-yourself ingenuity have also helped the Islamic State and various lone-wolf actors acquire and use them.^[5]

Single drones are increasingly being integrated into collaborative drone swarms. Precisely defined, drone swarms are “multiple unmanned systems capable of coordinating their actions to accomplish shared objectives.”^[a]^[6] These are proliferating quickly as well. Armenia, China, France, India, Israel, the Netherlands, Russia, Spain, South Africa, South Korea, and the US all have drone swarm programmes under development.^[7] In May 2021, Israel became the first state to use a drone swarm in combat, collecting and relaying information on Hamas militant locations for follow-up attacks.^[8] In most cases, the drone swarm consists of homogeneous, aerial drones, such as the 103 Perdix drone that the US Strategic Capabilities office launched out of three F/A-18 Super Hornets in January 2017.^[9] Others, such as Elbit System’s Torch-X, integrate diverse ground and aerial vehicles.^[10]

[Jew Terrorist colors, blue and white:]

Although global proliferation may be likely, drone swarm proliferation should not be expected to be even or immediate. Some states may be capable of rapidly developing massive, armed drone swarms; for others, this is a farther possibility. Over time, the holdouts may change their views as they come to recognise the military value of drone swarms. Motivated states can also put their finger on the scale, implementing national export controls to limit transfers of drone swarms to states without them. Groups of states might work together to expand the scope of those restrictions, and encourage larger international norms around drone swarm development, use, and transfer.

Thousands of starlings in a ‘murmuration’ at Ham Wall in the U.K. Software derived from natural flocking and swarming behavior allows drones to carry out complex co-ordinated maneuvers.

This the Jewish MIND. Even basic swarming makes drones far more effective than working in an unco-ordinated mass. A 2018 U.S. Army study suggested that swarming would make attack drones at least 50% more lethal while decreasing the losses they took from defensive fire by 50%, but this is just the start.

“Drones may coordinate their target selection, approach, or other angle of attack. For example, in an ‘omnidirectional attack’ swarming drones strike a target from numerous angles,” says analyst Zak Kallenborn — Research Affiliate at the Unconventional Weapons and Technology Division at the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START). “Communication also would allow drones to share information about target locations and use that to guide attacks.”

Proving grounds, the fucked up USA pubic, err, public, now that we have the fucked up eviliest lesser, Trump Kushner Zionist Talmud LLC at the Hitlerian Helm.

“I expect a global conversation to emerge on the limits of drone swarm technology,” says Kallenborn. “States may begin to classify drone swarms as weapons of mass destruction, due to the combination of mass harm and lack of controllability.”

As the spate of recent developments shows, drone swarms are proliferating rapidly. And while massed drones have been used on the battlefield with considerable effect – such as the attacks on Saudi Arabia’s Abqaiq oil processing facility and the Russian airbase in Khmeimim – drone swarms have yet to be deployed. Countering large numbers of drones is difficult; countering swarms takes the challenge to another level. What happens next is anybody’s guess.

The swamp, err, the SWARM!

Fucking more Swarming of the taxpayers’ coffers.

Palantir’s most recent earnings report came out the day before Donald Trump won the presidency. The two events have helped to propel the stock to record highs.

Where it stands: Palantir’s current valuation stands at about $160 billion — with Peter Thiel’s stake now worth $7 billion.

The Palantir chairman has been described as a “kingmaker” in Trumpland after Trump picked Thiel protégé JD Vance as his running mate.
In its most recent quarter, 44% of Palantir’s $726 million in revenue came from the U.S. government.

Israeli attacks killed at least 30 Palestinians and wounded many others late on Monday and in the early hours of Tuesday, despite reports that ceasefire talks were gaining “momentum”.

Israeli forces wiped out two entire families of 25 people after bombing a house sheltering them in the Beit Hanoun area, north of the Gaza Strip.

A prominent young football player for Gaza’s Al-Hilal club, Mohammed Khalifa, was also killed in an overnight Israeli bombing on the Al-Nuseirat camp, local media reported.

Israel is continuing to round up residents of northern Gaza as its ethnic cleansing of Beit Lahia continues. Footage filmed from a distance shows a long line of men, stripped to their underwear close to the Awani Al-Harthani UN school, which is likely where they were sheltering before their detention by occupation forces.

“In more than 250 raids, the air force destroyed tanks, planes, helicopters, ships, air defense systems, missiles, military factories, and security facilities … If this operation succeeds, the new rebel regime will have to start from scratch…to build its military capabilities as a new state,” the Israeli broadcaster said in its report broadcast on Monday night.

In a statement early Monday, the army said that paratroopers’ forces, joined by other troops, were deployed in key positions in the buffer zone and were conducting what it called defense activities “to prevent any threat.”

The UN warned on Monday that Israeli military activity along the Golan Heights buffer zone in Syria “would constitute a violation” of a 1974 pact on disengagement between Israel and Syria.

Told of the Israeli plans, UN peacekeepers “informed the Israeli counterparts that these actions would constitute a violation of the 1974 disengagement agreement,” UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric told a news conference.

“The Israelis also told our UNDOF colleagues that it reserved the right to take any action against any threat against the state of Israel,” he said.

Speaking to reporters on Monday, Netanyahu said the occupied Golan Heights would remain with Israel “for eternity”.

A fucking freak.

Media caption,

Donald Trump makes offensive comments about women

US presidential candidate Donald Trump has been forced to apologise after a video emerged in which he made obscene comments about women.

In the footage, revealed by the Washington Post, external, Mr Trump is heard bragging to TV host Billy Bush about trying to have sex with a married woman. The clip, from 2005, was part of unaired footage ahead of Mr Trump’s appearance on US soap opera Days of Our Lives.

Here is the full transcript of the conversation:

Unknown: “She used to be great, she’s still very beautiful.”

Trump: “I moved on her actually. You know she was down on Palm Beach. I moved on her, and I failed. I’ll admit it. I did try and fuck her, she was married.”

Unknown: “That’s huge news there.”

Trump: “No, no, Nancy. No this was [inaudible] and I moved on her very heavily in fact I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said I’ll show you where they have some nice furniture. I moved on her like a bitch. I couldn’t get there and she was married. Then all-of-a-sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony tits and everything. She’s totally changed her look.”

Bush: “Your girl’s hot as shit. In the purple.”

Multiple voices: “Whoah. Yes. Whoah.”

Bush: “Yes. The Donald has scored. Whoah my man.”

Trump: “Look at you. You are a pussy.”

Bush: “You gotta get the thumbs up.”

Trump: “Maybe it’s a different one.”

Bush: “It better not be the publicist. No, it’s, it’s her.”

Trump: “Yeah that’s her with the gold. I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful… I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything.”

Bush: “Whatever you want.”

Trump: “Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.”

Bush: “Yeah those legs. All I can see is the legs.”

Trump: “It looks good.”

Bush: “Come on shorty.”

Trump: “Oh nice legs huh.”

Bush: “Get out of the way honey. Oh that’s good legs. Go ahead.”

Trump: “It’s always good if you don’t fall out of the bus. Like Ford, Gerald Ford, remember?”

[As Mr Trump attempts to leave the vehicle he struggles with the door]

Bush: “Down below, pull the handle.”

[Mr Trump exits the bus and greets actress Arianne Zucker]

Trump: “Hello, how are you? Hi.”

Zucker: “Hi Mr Trump. How are you?”

Trump: “Nice seeing you. Terrific. Terrific. You know Billy Bush?”

Bush: “Hello nice to see you. How are you doing Arianne?”

Zucker: “I’m doing very well thank you. [Addressing Trump] Are you ready to be a soap star?”

Trump: “We’re ready. Let’s go. Make me a soap star.”

Bush: “How about a little hug for the Donald, he’s just off the bus?”

Zucker: “Would you like a little hug darling?”

Trump: “Absolutely. Melania said this was okay.”

Bush: “How about a little hug for the Bushy, I just got off the bus? Here we go, here we go. Excellent.”

[Mr Bush gesticulates towards Ms Zucker as he turns to Mr Trump]

Bush: “Well you’ve got a good co-star here.”

Trump: “Good. After you. Come on Billy, don’t be shy.”

Bush: “Soon as a beautiful woman shows up he just, he takes off. This always happens.”

Trump: “Get over here, Billy.”

Zucker: “I’m sorry, come here.”

Bush: “Let the little guy in there. Come on.”

Zucker: “Yeah, let the little guy in. How you feel now, better? I should actually be in the middle.”

Bush: “It’s hard to walk next to a guy like this.”

Zucker: “Wait. Hold on.”

[Ms Zucker changes position and walks between the two men]

Bush: “Yeah you get in the middle. There we go.”

Trump: “Good. That’s better.”

Zucker: “This is much better.”

Trump: “That’s better.”

Bush: “Now if you had to choose, honestly, between one of us. Me or the Donald, who would it be?”

Trump: “I don’t know, that’s tough competition.”

Zucker: “That’s some pressure right there.”

Bush: “Seriously, you had to take one of us as a date.”

Zucker: “I have to take the Fifth [Amendment of the US Constitution] on that one.”

Bush: “Really?”

Zucker: “Yep. I’ll take both.”

[They reach the end of the corridor]

Trump: “Which way?”

Zucker: “Make a right. Here we go.”

Bush: “Here he goes. I’m gonna leave you here. Give me my microphone.”

Trump: “Okay. Okay. Oh, you’re finished?”

Bush: “You’re my man. Yeah.”

Trump: “Oh. Good.”

Sheila and Michael Forbes no access to sea no reliable water no help coming

Farmer Forbes Receives Worldwide Support Against Trump

Aberdeenshire farmer Michael Forbes, his wife Sheila, and his mother Molly have become a focal point for those opposing Trump’s plans for creating a golf complex over the shifting sand dunes of Menie on the Aberdeenshire coast. Trump has called their home a ‘pigsty.’ Letters of support flowed in from around the world to the farmer supporting his brave stance against the billionaire.

When Anthony Baxter and Richard Phinney came to the Menie Estate to film their first documentary about the mogul’s presence and practices, they created the award-winning documentary, ‘You’ve Been Trumped’. During the course of filming, Trump’s construction crew ‘accidentally’ shattered the water pipe bringing water to the Forbes’ property.

For one week, the Forbes remained without water, so the filmmakers went to the Trump site office to ask when the water would be restored.

The family had been taking water in buckets from a nearby spring or burn in which to cook, bathe and clean. The response of the site manager was to tell Anthony to ‘be a jewel of a system’ and the water would be restored to be the ‘best’.

Hours after that exchange, Baxter and Phinney became the first journalists ever to be arrested in Scotland while working on a story. Sarah Malone-Bates, the Trump spokeswoman coincidentally married to local newspaper editor Damian Bates, recently confirmed that the Trump organisation called the police to make that arrest- and the police dutifully complied. The duo was later released without charge and the NUJ condemned the arrests.

Despite the verbal promise Trump failed to do anything about the water: for five long years. The Forbes family relied on water from that burn, on bottled water, on rain water. Imagine 5 years without running water in 21^st century Scotland. This is covered in Baxter’s newest documentary, ‘You’ve Been Trumped Too.’ The police were keen to arrest the journalists and harass Mr Forbes over issues of access across land, and were going to charge him for theft when he removed Trump marker flags worth £11 which appeared with no explanation in property he believes to be his. The police failed to take any action about the pipe the Trump organisation broke, as did Aberdeenshire Council, which waived through over a dozen planning breaches the Trump organisation made granting ex post facto planning permission.

Only recently, Michael Forbes restored the water himself, sparing his 90-something-year-old mother the work of filling water bucket from a stream.

Virtually none of this is reported in local paper The Press & Journal, while there are articles praising Trump’s restaurant and facilities; the marriage of Bates and Malone is seen to influence the editorial policy.

The paper went so far as to give the POTUS hopeful an ‘exclusive’ column in which he boasted of having won over the Scottish people. The bags of post arriving in support of the Forbes family tells a different story.

If you can conclude from this tale of Trump’s behaviour in rural Scotland that his promises are hollow, that he seeks to intimidate those less fortunate than he, and that he can influence how the powers that be protect the weak, you are not alone. For the Forbes family received letters from around the world following the release of ‘You’ve Been Trumped.’

Sheila Forbes said she is happy for the contents of these letters to be shared. “People have been very kind, and we never received a ‘bad’ letter.” The Forbes family wish they could answer all of the letters, but they have truly been inundated. The whole family is overwhelmed by how kind and supportive people have been.

The letters come from every corner of the world; some are addressed to ‘Michael Forbes who stops Trump near Aberdeen’ (Germany). One is addressed to ‘Michael Forbes, coast of Aberdeenshire, adjacent to Trump Golf Fantasy’ (Australia) to ‘Michael Forbes behind the dunes, Aberdeen’ (Germany). Although many lack postal codes or correct addresses they all find the Forbes family. Michael once asked the postman how he knows to bring the letters to him and was told ‘Well, who else could they be for?’

If the show of hatred and intolerance which seeped out of the Trump rallies has dampened anyone’s spirits, these letters affirm that there are still many thoughtful people who take time to show support and offer help to others. One gentleman from Worcester, Massachusetts generously sent a cheque for $100.

None of the cheques or cash received has ever been spent to date.

These kind-hearted correspondents have had much to say. Here are some quotes:

“… congratulate you on standing firm against the arrogance of Donald Trump. We wish you well! … You are right to protect your land and that of your forefathers.” (Wiltshire)

“So many golf courses all over this earth especially in poor countries for the rich play and the poor starve. I wish you well and that the strong heart and spirit of Scotland still lives.” (Wales)

“I applaud you for not wanting to sell your land to Trump, he’s not ‘king of the castle’ just because he has the money does not give him the right to demand and have things given to him on a silver spoon.” (Illinois)

“Mr Forbes, too many people give up their principles for money. I truly admire you for standing your ground. Congratulations for taking on the giant.” (Massachusetts)

“[if] the Councillors are only able to see all the wonderful income the shire is going to get from ‘The World’s Greatest Golf Development’, I think they may be in for an awful surprise.” (Las Vegas)

– and so it has transpired, with the club posting losses of millions year after year, and only 95 jobs of the promised 6,000 having materialised.

“The only one that will look silly in the end is Trump” (Warwickshire).

… that they have been divorced without their knowledge and that their husband is now married to a woman 40 or 50 years their junior.

…Their children are by now also married and never come to visit. These women come to me with severe depression and many other mental illnesses. —-Nawal El Saadaw

A new assembly, which was responsible for amending the constitution that had been suspended in 2012 was appointed in the autumn of 2013. According to Nawal El Saadawi, the new assembly was hardly more representative of Egyptian society than the previous one.]

Look at this fucking Cunt: the US-led dirty war against Syria that began in 2011… HTS leader Abu Mohammed Al-Jolani was kidnapped by the Israelis as a child, raised by the Mossad, and later sent to Syria to infiltrate it.

Capitalizing on anti-government protests that erupted as part of the Arab Spring, the US partnered with Israel, Gulf monarchies, Turkey, and other NATO states to wage a regime change campaign targeting Assad. The CIA-led operation, codenamed Timber Sycamore, proved to be “one of the costliest covert action programs in the history of the C.I.A.,” the New York Times reported in 2017. Leaked NSA documents revealed a budget of nearly $1 billion per year, or around $1 of every $15 in CIA spending. The CIA armed and trained nearly 10,000 insurgents, spending “roughly $100,000 per year for every anti-Assad rebel who has gone through the program,” U.S. officials told the Washington Post in 2015. Two years later, one U.S. official estimated that CIA-funded militias “may have killed or wounded 100,000 Syrian soldiers and their allies.”

The power of this Egyptian heroine:

She’s so spot on about all religions are scams, patriarchy, rotten to the core since they command us not to be free: Speeches by Nawal El Saadawi of Egypt and Alice Shalvi of Israel, speaking about religion at the First World Summit on Women and the Many Dimensions of Power, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, June 1990. Both speakers recently passed away, but the issues with which they dealt will likely never die.

Listen.

“Women are oppressed in all religions. The problem is not Islam, it is the political systems that use Islam and religion.” She wrote a book called God Resigns at the Summit Meeting, in which God is questioned by Jewish, Muslim and Christian prophets and finally quits. It proved to be so controversial that the police under the Mubarak regime ordered the publisher to burn the book. She said it happened since the “regime felt God Resigns was a dangerous book because it could open people’s minds. To be a dictator and control people you must veil their minds. Our role, as writers, is to unveil it.” Her criticism of religion (of all religions) was founded primarily on the basis that it oppresses women, and the biggest threat to women’s liberation today is religious extremism. In a 2014 interview, she said that “the root of the oppression of women lies in the global post-modern capitalist system, which is supported by religious fundamentalism”. El Saadawi fears that the global and religious fundamentalist movement is holding back progress regarding women’s rights and issues such as female genital mutilation, especially in Egypt.

“Women are deceived by the media, by the capitalist, patriarchal, racist media. They are brainwashed, so they have the impression that they are free, but they are not free. They think, ‘If I uncover my breast and wear low jeans, then I am free’, but completely the opposite, it means I am a sex object. And the veiled woman considers herself a stigma, so she covers herself. Feminism is not just one thing, there are many types of feminism: liberal feminists, socialist feminists, Islamic feminists, Jewish feminists, Christian feminists – there are many types. Real feminism is the woman who is liberated from both patriarchy and capitalism. Patriarchal oppression and class oppression and religious oppression are one.”

Nawal El Saadawi: ‘Religion is all politics’

“People, especially women, are afraid of loneliness,” she continues, “but loneliness is an illusion, like death. In Egypt, you find a woman who is educated, a professor maybe, and her husband beats her and oppresses her, but she is afraid to divorce him because she will be alone. In my life, I discovered that loneliness is paradise! I need loneliness, I need silence, to write. When you do not have something to do – in your head – you feel lonely. But if you put me in a room, in a prison even, I have something to do, something to say, something to write, I am occupied, therefore I don’t feel lonely.”

The day before our meeting at her hotel in Waterloo, Nawal was interviewed on Channel 4 News by Krishnan Guru-Murthy and on the BBC’s Hard Talk, “quarrelling” with the presenter Zeinab Badawi who suggested that Nawal might consider toning it down and being “less outspoken” about the issues she has tirelessly campaigned against throughout her life, such as FGM, which she experienced as a child, and (in its many, many guises) patriarchal oppression. Nawal answered firmly: “No. I should be more outspoken, I should be more aggressive, because the world is becoming more aggressive, and we need people to speak loudly against injustices. I speak loudly because I am angry.”

“They don’t want any really courageous people!”

“Everybody is very much interested in the physical veil – the religious Islamic veil. But what we don’t see is the veil of the mind. We are all exposed to the veil of the mind, by education, by religion, by patriarchy, by fear, by marriage, by the moral code. As women, we are always pushed to be hidden, to be veiled, even if we are not aware of that.” As I find out, Nawal is just as against women wearing very heavy makeup and the sort of ‘naked feminism’ that has been popularised by American celebrities like Kim Kardashian, as she is women wearing veils. “In Egypt, you find contradictions, because there is the Islamisation of Egypt, and the Americanisation of Egypt. Nakedness and veiling go hand in hand. Some Egyptian women, like the Americans, show their breasts and wear mini skirts and a lot of makeup, and then other women are very veiled. In the middle you have women who accommodate Islamisation and Americanisation, so they cover their head and their hair, but they uncover their belly with jeans that are very low and the stomach is visible. So in fact women are really oppressed by both Islamisation and Americanisation.”

In a December 7, 2024 appearance on Al-Masirah TV (Houthis-Yemen), Lebanese researcher Dr. Ali Hamie claimed on the eve of the fall of the regime of Bashar Al-Assad that HTS leader Abu Mohammed Al-Jolani was kidnapped by the Israelis as a child, raised by the Mossad, and later sent to Syria to infiltrate it. Hamie also stated that during the time Al-Jolani was believed to be in an American prison, he was actually receiving training in Iraq. Additionally, Hamie argued that U.S. President Joe Biden is the “biggest supporter of the Luciferian movement,” which he described as seeking to control people through monotheistic religions.

El Saadawi: I would probably have been imprisoned during the rule of Gamal Abdel Nasser too – under all presidents and governments, in fact. I am also censored in the West. The reason can be found in the capitalist, religious and patriarchal system, regardless of whether it has Islamic, Christian, Jewish or Buddhist characteristics. I am against this system at both local and global level. This is also the reason why I am continually attacked – in Egypt as well as in Europe. I am not welcome in the West. I am welcomed by a few forward-thinking people who are likewise opposed to the patriarchy, to capitalism, neoliberalism and militarism. These are also the people who appreciate my literature. The vast majority, however, believe in the capitalist system.
