the Epstein-kinda-folk at WEF are predicting no globalization, no technocratic totalitarian society, no hell on earth UNLESS “they” can cook the books, cook the bioweapons, cook our brains!
These fucking elites, man, censor censor censor. Naomi Oreskes, like Diane Ravitch, are flaming militant, military-backing, censorship-loving Jews, who are FLAMING Racist Zionists, who are FLAMING Bonafied Génocidaires!
“I really hope that the World Economic Forum will take this issue on board and think harder about the role that the private sector can play in standing up against disinformation, even if they might like the fact that that politician would cut their taxes,” Naomi Oreskes, Professor of the History of Science at Harvard University, said, complaining about what she said is the spread of disinformation on social media, notably attributing a significant part of this issue to social media companies and even President Trump and certain business entities.
[Fucking Harvard Trash.] Her proposed solutions raise alarming implications for free speech and highlight the dangers of censorship.
Influential figures from the educational sector of the conference voiced their displeasure about Musk’s platform, dubbing it problematic and “toxic.”
[Fucking Monster from Milan.] Luciana Vaccaro, head of swissuniversities, and Naomi Oreskes, a Harvard Professor specializing in the History of Science, both voiced their concerns during a panel discussion at the event. A video capturing their condemnation of X and Musk himself has since been circulating on the platform.
Then this human stain, Diane Ravitch, Jewish Murder Incorporated through and through:
The MAGA faction of the Republican Party has made clear that it does not want to defend Ukraine. It does not see the point of helping Ukraine resist a Russian takeover. As foreign policy expert and national security specialist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has said, “Ukraine is not our 51st state.” Like Trump, the “Freedom Caucus” does not want to pay to repel Putin’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. Trump thinks that Putin might be our ally if only we give him whatever he wants. (He has said he wants to restore the USSR.). You need only look at any photo of Trump and Putin together to see how Trump looks at Putin with a deferential and adoring expression.
Timothy Snyder, Professor of History at Yale University, published this powerful article in the Kyiv Post. He should have published it in The Washington Post.
I have been thinking for a long while about writing a post describing my views about the war in the Middle East. It’s not something I could toss off easily because my views are complicated. [Complicated? complicent in the murder, in the racist ideology of the concept of Jews taking land from Palestinians. Corruptable elites who run in the same Racist Circles of Dante’s Hell.]
As a Jew, I support Israel because I am painfully aware of the many centuries of Jew-hatred. My father’s father and mother fled Poland in the mid-19th century. All the Jews in their hometown (Lomza) were subsequently murdered by the Nazis. My mother and her immediate family (parents and sister) fled Bessarabia (now Moldova) in 1914 after a pogrom. Not one member of the families they left behind survived the Holocaust. Not one. Jews know in their bones that nowhere is truly safe from anti-Semitism.
The pursuit of peace requires both sides to negotiate in good faith. Spokesmen for Hamas have vowed to attack Israel again and again in the future. Hamas cannot be trusted to negotiate in good faith. They are terrorists and proud of it. No Israeli government can endure a terrorist regime on its borders. Other Arab nations will have to commit themselves to stopping Hamas terrorism. They must stop funding Hamas and collaborate to build a functional government for any new Palestinian state, a government that forswears terrorism and is committed to providing security, economic development, and public services for its people. [Because stopping the war machine, the dirty sicario factory which is Israel, that is off fucking Ravitch’s table.]
I stand with Israel. I oppose terrorism. I hope for a day when the Jewish state lives free of the fear of terrorism and of war, side by side with neighbors that respect its borders and that share in regional prosperity. If that day ever comes, the people of the Middle East will enjoy a new world of peace. [Israel IS terrorism.]
For the global business community, the top concern for the next two years is not conflict or climate. . . the bigger problem is . . . “disinformation and misinformation, followed closely by polarization within our societies.”
President Ursula von der Leyen: “Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, dear Klaus, your annual Global Risk report makes for a stunning and sobering read. For the global business community, the top concern for the next two years is not conflict or climate, it is disinformation and misinformation, followed closely by polarization within our societies. These risks are serious because they limit our ability to tackle the big global challenges we are facing. Changes in our climate and our geopolitical climate, shifts in our demography and in our technology. Spiraling regional conflicts and intensified geopolitical competition, and their impacts on supply chains. The sobering reality is that we are once again competing more intensely across countries than we have in several decades. And this makes takes the theme of this year’s Davos meeting even more relevant. Rebuilding trust. This is not a time for conflicts or polarization. This is a time to build trust.”
World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus today warned during a panel at the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, that the world must prepare for a future pandemic, which may be caused by a yet-unknown “Disease X.”
Preetha Reddy, executive vice-chairperson of Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Ltd., an Indian hospital chain.
Dr. Nancy Brown, CEO of the American Heart Association, who moderated the panel discussion.
Aside from “Disease X,” the panelists also discussed future pandemic prevention measures, the need for a “pandemic agreement” and the future role of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare.
“Artificial Intelligence as a Driving Force for the Economy and Society” is one of the central organizing themes of this year’s WEF meeting, taking place Jan. 15-19 in Davos, while the central theme of this year’s gathering is “Rebuilding Trust.”
And that night at midnight, the LORD struck down all the firstborn sons in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sat on his throne, to the firstborn son of the prisoner in the dungeon.
Whenever I’ve pointed out the immorality of slaughtering innocent people, believers are disturbingly quick to defend their god, “It is ok for my god to kill innocent children on Passover because…”
When Christopher Hitchens said that “religion poisons everything” he was saying that “it infects us in our most basic integrity.” Here’s the incomparable Hitchens on this point:
So when I say, as the subtitle of my book, that I think religion poisons everything, I’m not just doing what publishers like and coming up with a provocative subtitle, I mean to say it infects us in our most basic integrity. It says we can’t be moral without Big Brother, without a totalitarian permission. It means we can’t be good to one another, it means we can’t think without this. We must be afraid, we must also be forced to love someone who we fear, the essence of sado-masochism and the essence of abjection, the essence of the master-slave relationship and that knows that death is coming and can’t wait to bring it on. I say this is evil. And though I do, some nights, stay at home, I enjoy more the nights when I go out and fight against this ultimate wickedness and ultimate stupidity.
But these fucking gods, techies, man oh man, what Gods. In a recent episode of “Unconfuse Me with Bill Gates,” Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, and tech billionaire Bill Gates controversially delved into the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool for maintaining democracy and promoting world peace.
The discussion notably omits a critical aspect: the influence of the programmers’ own beliefs and principles on the AI’s functioning. The designers and developers of AI systems inherently embed their ideas about democracy, free speech, and governance into the AI’s algorithms. This raises significant concerns about the impact of these personal biases on the AI’s neutrality and its ability to make fair, unbiased decisions.
The prospect of AI systems being programmed with particular ideologies could have profound implications for free speech. If an AI is designed to favor certain political or social viewpoints, (excluding those it decides are “polarizing”) it could potentially suppress opposing perspectives, leading to a form of digital censorship.

In accordance with the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, a State Party may refer to the Prosecutor a situation in which one or more crimes within the jurisdiction of the Court appear to have been committed requesting the Prosecutor to investigate the situation for the purpose of determining whether one or more specific persons should be charged with the commission of such crimes.
Statement of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Karim A.A. Khan KC, on the Situation in the State of Palestine: receipt of a referral from five States Parties
In receiving the referral, my Office confirms that it is presently conducting an investigation into the Situation in the State of Palestine. This investigation, commenced on 3 March 2021, encompasses conduct that may amount to Rome Statute crimes committed since 13 June 2014 in Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. It is ongoing and extends to the escalation of hostilities and violence since the attacks that took place on 7 October 2023.
You think WEF in Davos would wipe away all the other fascist programs and come together on this:
“The WEF and other multi-stakeholder endeavours have democratic deficits when the people that they affect do not have adequate opportunities to participate in and control their processes,” Jan Aart Scholte, professor of global transformations and governance challenges at Leiden University, said.
“It is an exclusive invitation-only club, and meaningful participation is mainly limited to the world’s more powerful governments, corporations, and civil society actors. Moreover, when excluded people disagree with or feel harmed by WEF activities, they generally lack adequate channels to be heard and pursue redress.”
Yeah, Gaza, and the implications for us all, with the Palestinization of most of the rest of the world. Look at this monster:
Lior Haiat, spokesperson at the Israeli foreign affairs ministry, has leveled an extraordinary charge against South Africa, claiming that the anti-apartheid state “is functioning as the legal arm of the Hamas terrorist organization.”
This human stain — Haiat — needs to be batted into his own hell.
Far too many civilians on both sides have been killed. South Africa’s case, however, may finally be making clear for people around the world just how far Israel has taken matters – and has for decades with its apartheid and occupation policies.
Spinning genocide and apartheid is a losing cause in much of the world. Nonetheless, with many American and European politicians, Haiat continues to find a willing audience. — Michael F. Brown
GUESTS: Haidar Eid, scholar and activist; Ahmed Abofoul, legal researcher and advocacy officer at Al-Haq; Shahd Abusalama, educator and activist
The worst two months of his life. Displaced four times with two children.
But do you think these Jews like Ravitch and Friedman and the lot of them at Davos, give one shit about Haidar?
A man after my heart, after my own name: Hader, Haeder, Haider.
Meaning: Lion. Haider is a strong masculine name of Arabic origin. Also spelled Haydar, Hajdar, and Heidar, this name means “lion” and carries connotations of a brave and noble warrior. The lion is a powerful symbol of courage and royalty in Islamic art and culture, making this name a powerful option for baby.
Another hero!
Leila Khaled: “Liberation is Not Achieved at the Negotiation Table”
Madaar: In your opinion, what are the major implications of the Al-Aqsa Flood Battle?
Leila Khaled: “All peoples rose up with this overwhelming attack, and the most affected was Israel. This entity was shaken, and the first attack was carried out on a military squad, something their intelligence did not expect.
Israel relies on its military strength… and until this moment it has not achieved any form of victory, but its ugly face, the face of murderers and war criminals, has appeared. This has become the image of the Zionist entity. The Palestinian narrative has risen, defeating the narrative that the Zionist movement has worked on for a hundred years…
The West was also shaken by the demonstrations in various European countries, which it shares with Israel. We all noticed how heads of state came, the first of whom was Biden, who came to announce that he supports Israel, and came with battleships and all kinds of weapons to support this entity.
This entity is considered a cat’s claw in the Arab region, and in fact it was a cat’s claw, but on the land of Palestine it was always faced with resistance. The resistance has not stopped since the occupation of the country, the establishment of this entity on our land, and the displacement of our people and the masses of refugees in different countries. Yes, Palestinian society was destroyed in 1948, but this people restores itself every time.
But this time is completely different, so the entity did not have a plan for confrontation, and it resorted to one method, which was to kill the people in a complete extermination process, genocide and ethnic cleansing, and this is what it wanted, because they bombed the homes in the presence of its residents, including children, women, men, the elderly, and the youth. This is what actually happened up to this moment. They said that their goal in this war, in response to the attack, is to root out and eliminate Hamas. It is a country that has 200 nuclear warheads and is facing an organization, as it did in 2006 when it faced an organization called Hezbollah…
It does not attack armies, so where will it strike? It does not see the place of Hamas in Gaza, so it was surprised that the resistance, along with Hamas of course, fought battles for more than 60 days. It was the one that asked for the fighting to stop. Note that this was the first time in the history of the Zionist entity to request protection from America and the West, so they came with their weapons and their support… Blinken, the American Secretary of State came to Israel and said, “I came as a Jew, not as a foreign minister.” But later the US Secretary of State became part of the war council prepared by Israel.
All of these repercussions are still continuing until this moment, until America asked Israel to stop the fighting, because they feared that the army that entered Gaza would collapse, and continued to enter and exit due to the resistance.
As for the ceasefire, the resistance benefited from it by bringing in aid, and set conditions to replace its detainees with our detainees in the prisons, including children and women. The Zionist society is now divided. The army used to go to fight, whether in Lebanon, Gaza, or the West Bank… it would unite behind it, and it would be forbidden to criticize it or criticize the government. However, we heard the criticism, and we heard many soldiers left the front and returned. Two battalions whose soldiers returned and said: We could no longer fight in the face of the ferocity with which the resistance faced them.
So we are talking about this being the beginning of the liberation battles. Liberation battles begin with strikes on all places in this body called the Zionist entity, and this will not be the last time. Our people will also fight other battles, and liberation means withdrawal from Palestinian land, and now we are witnessing that. After the first strike, Ben Gurion Airport was crowded with thousands of people leaving.
Their press even criticizes the army and the methods it uses, meaning killing children and women and demolishing homes on top of their owners. The world no longer accepts this, and therefore there is no unified discourse for them… each one speaks differently, and contradicts the other. The whole goal is to eliminate Hamas, but they are unable to do so. They were unable to release the prisoners, and so they returned to strike again in Gaza.
All our people in Gaza say we are with the resistance, we are protecting it. We hear from inside Gaza those standing on the rubble of houses chanting: We are with the resistance and we will remain with it.
We are reassured because this battle has also united other arenas, as the West Bank is also rising up.”

“To punish the oppressors is clemency. To pardon them is barbarism”.
And, more of the same wicked fucking albinos — WEF president worries the world is looking too much like 19th-century Europe:
‘A lot of multipolarity, but not a lot of peace’
“Good morning,
Hello from Davos, where the World Economic Forum annual meeting is in full swing and there is a bit of a fin de siècle feeling among top participants. It doesn’t bode well for the rules-based global order in which Davos came to prominence—or the borderless business models of large, multinational companies that still dominate the pop-up storefronts of the town’s main street.
On the one hand, Davos is brimming with energy levels rarely seen before. Judging by the number of side events and the sheer number of people who have ascended to the Alpine town, Davos seems to be in its heyday. I’ve been here every year since 2013 (except the COVID year of 2021) and never have I seen so many people and sensed so much enthusiasm among participants.
On the other hand, among organizers and principals, there’s a palpable sense of fear and concern. Globalization—as measured by trade as a percentage of global GDP—is in reverse. Geopolitical cooperation has given way to geostrategic competition and war. Misinformation and disinformation threaten to put isolationists in power from Washington to Brussels.
In the past, optimism often prevailed in Davos, especially as the week went on. Seeing like-minded people and hearing how they’re navigating headwinds can have a cathartic effect. But this year, the World Economic Forum itself added to the undercurrent of doom when it published its first “Global Cooperation Barometer” with McKinsey last week, which showed that cooperation on peace and security, as well as health, is in decline. The world’s disjointed response to COVID and Russia’s war in Ukraine are the greatest examples of the trend, which also is apparent in the crumbling power of organizations like the UN and NATO.”
As the other freak Greta would have said — “blah, blah blah, blah.”
If a person spent an eternity on this planet would that be the same as spending it in Hell?
T.
Almost daily, the realities of these fucking Princes of Darkness just shine through the miasma they carry around them like fire and brimstone clouds of sulfur. (Remember Hugo Chavez and that comment?)
Pence is the embodiment of wimps on their mother’s/wife’s crack(s). The bigger the wimps, the bigger the stupidity.
WTFWJB?
Yeah, who the fuck would Jesus bomb? Pence shows up at the Jewish Racist IDF Units Inciting Genocide and the Perverse Parameters of their Form of Judaism. What Israel is doing is blessed by the rabbis. And the donor class of Jews here, there, everywhere, DO NOT BE FUCKING FOOLED.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs estimates that nearly 85 percent of Gaza’s population, amounting to about 1.9 million people, is internally displaced, including many who have been forced to move several times in search of safety.
“We have raised the alarm of the risk of genocide several times, reminding all governments they have a duty to prevent genocide,” the experts said.
“Not only is Israel killing and causing irreparable harm against Palestinian civilians with its indiscriminate bombardments, it is also knowingly and intentionally imposing a high rate of disease, prolonged malnutrition, dehydration and starvation by destroying civilian infrastructure.
“Aid needs to be delivered to Gazans immediately, and without any hindrance, to prevent starvation.”
They continued: “Our alarm for the unfolding genocide does not only refer to the ongoing bombardment of Gaza but also concerns the slow suffering and death caused by Israel’s long-standing occupation, blockade and current civic destruction, since genocide advances through an ongoing process and is not a singular event.
“The clear path to achieving peace, safety and stability for both Israelis and Palestinians lies in the realization of Palestinian self-determination. This can only be achieved through an immediate ceasefire and the cessation of the Israeli occupation.”
After increased pressure from the public and his fellow candidates, Pete Buttigieg on Tuesday released the names of the clients he worked for at McKinsey, a consulting firm Buttigieg himself has called “amoral.”
The firm worked with drug company Purdue Pharma to boost opioid sales even in the middle of America’s addiction crisis, and earlier this month, ProPublica and the New York Times published a report detailing the company’s work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement on detaining and deporting immigrants — which included McKinsey recommending cuts on government spending on food for migrants.
Ahh, so, Zelensky the Blood sucker, THE Penis Piano Cocaine Cowboy, he’s a guest the fucking WEF today?
McKinsey’s business model also generates a second round of revenue from its government work: The firm effectively sells data it obtains from one government project to other agencies. McKinsey generally retains in its central databases anonymized work product from its engagements, so future consulting teams can get a head start on similar projects. Ordinarily, the federal government might be expected to put together that type of clearinghouse and share it with state and city governments free of charge. But in the absence of such a clearinghouse, McKinsey has something state, city and federal government agencies need, and access to government data has formed a core part of McKinsey’s COVID-19 pitch.
McKinsey’s data was one of the factors cited by VA officials to justify hiring the firm within 24 hours. As a contracting document explained: The firm “already possessed an immense amount of both global and community epidemiological data on COVID-19” the VA didn’t otherwise have access to. McKinsey customers pay not only in cash but by adding new data that the firm will be able to sell to the next customer.
Listen to the legalesse, the mental gymnastics, the fucking measured pace of this international body: This week South Africa presented a devastating case against Israel at The Hague alleging genocide – and then Israel offered its defence. So what will the International Court of Justice likely rule? This is such an important interview with Dr. Alonso Gurmendi. He says “the Master’s tools will not dismantle the Master’s house.” He cautions those expecting the ICJ to issue a definitive ruling on genocide – but explains the real significance of what has just happened.
“The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers,” is one of Shakespeare’s most memorable lines. You would struggle to find such a line in the writings of lawyers themselves—and not just because they would, presumably, disagree. Though some judges are sophisticated stylists, most legal language is fussy, tangled and incapable of producing anything so pithy. (This is no doubt one reason so many people want to kill all the lawyers.) But do lawyers write that way to impress, to bewilder—or perhaps because they must?
In a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Eric Martínez and his colleagues from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Edinburgh tried to find out. Contracts written in “legalese”, as well as simplified versions conveying identical concepts, were shown to American lawyers and laypeople. It turns out that lawyers struggle with, and dislike, legal language almost as much as their clients.
…. No academic freedom, boys and girls . . . I remember at Washington State University, Michael Pollan, and his book, an attack on agri-biz, they said, cancelled and then reinstated!
Now that the NYT has weighed in, I guess it’s fair to say this story broke through to the mainstream. I’ll spare you all the assurances from WSU that this Bill Marler-funded resolution proves that the driving issue really was financial. In my view, Marler graciously provided a fig-leaf to a university administration that was very much caught by surprise that anyone would have ever noticed what they’d done. There remain too many bits of evidence that the book was originally canceled due to political pressure. Indeed, Spokane’s newspaper even claims to have identified the culprit:
That political pressure apparently was brought to bear by a member of the board of regents, Harold Cochran, who disapproved of the author’s characterization of agribusiness. Cochran owns and operates a 5,500-acre farm near Walla Walla, is a founding stockholder in the Bank of the West in Walla Walla and is a member of the Washington Association of Wheat Growers.
UPDATE: It’s official WSU announces that it “will reinstate the original plan for distribution of its Common Reading book, ‘The Omnivore’s Dilemma,’ as a result of a private contribution to support the program.”
The good old days of 2009. I was teaching in Spokane and finishing another thesis for a graduate degree in urban and regional planning at the WSU-Eastern WA Spokane campus. My students did have a chance to read Pollan’s so-so book. I was a big sustainability dude back then, and a board member of the Washington Sustainable Farm and Food Network.
Yes, Monsanto DID weigh in vis-a-vis that wheatwehat “grower” (notice farmer isn’t ysed to describe this sod buster!)
Of course, universities are the conduit for Eichmann-Faustian-Prince of Darkness disease: Again, controlled, contrived, currated death by one million nano-bot CUTS, and the universities will be on that cutting edge somehow, some way.
Artificial intelligence continues to revolutionize nearly every sector, and it is important to consider how AI technology will influence higher education within classrooms and university operations.
Loughborough University’s vice-chancellor, Nick Jennings, wrote how AI will soon “power” universities as it transforms research and education.
During a global leadership interview with Chronicle deputy managing editor, Ian Wilhelm, Jennings will share the historical significance and implications of using generative AI in higher education.
You betcha, the universities will not be discussing why ChatGPT and OpenAI ARE the monsters of the 21st Century; the nuclear digital fallout and perp in this “new age of ethical and human devolution.” You can’t get spineless academics to talk about much these days for fear of Harris-Emoff or Trump-Fox or Israel-Jews.
Oh, it’s not guns that kill, it’s the finger behind the gun.
As AI advances, so does its weaponization. Experts warn that AI applications including lethal autonomous weapons systems, commonly called “killer robots,” could pose a potentially existential threat to humanity that underscores the imperative of arms control measures to slow the pace of weaponization.
Yep, it’s not Monsanto and Vioxx and mRNA bioweapons that kill, it’s your own fucking weak immune system, fuckers. If your child can’t take the Atrazene, then move. If your family can’t take the poisoned wells, buy bottled water. If your children have nervous ticks, ADD/ADHD, austim, then move to Canada for some MAID.
Ahh, so, no more kill switchs on these fucking middlings, milquetoasters, Jewish-Run Media, Christian-Run Self-Flaggelation Factories.
You know we are those fucking monkeys whipping ourselves daily with schizoid thinking, bi-polar mania, drip-drip-drip neutering of the brain, and thoughts just like dust in the wind as we pull out the dumb phones to find an image of the sky above us to make sure it isn’t falling. Check the phone, man, the app.
Oh, shit, all that green porn, all those cooked up climate hoaxes, and the failure to rein in all the fucking military polluters, the actual people maimers, the killers, those places bombed and sanctioned and traumatized for generations, where the population, after a few billion with the mRNA jabs (Sputnik V was not mRNA jab), will be weathered into aging quickening, turbo diseases, rampant cancers, and younger and younger people with epigenetic inflencers turning them into bundles of raw nerves and gut problems that would make a chemo patient shudder!
The huns are coming”!!!
Well, huns of a different mother!
I despise those fucking freaks who believe Russia is “winning” and that the “war” is coming to a close in say a year. Even the Russian people know YEARS, if they are lucky, before the dirty Jewish-Nazi clones of Ukraine are kaput.
Russia IS not winning shit! Forget the Larry Johnsons, the McGregor’s, the Ritters, the Duran, the lot of them. They are fucking war-mongering pieces of stain (not all) who see this as a grand historical game on a fucking chessboard.
So, we get dozens of stories a day about how American cities are decaying, how violence is spiking, how thievery is rampant at the 7-11 level all the way up to the JP Morgan Chase level.
Decay, but imagine you are big ass Russia with puny ass 185 million souls. Too many borders, too many resources, not enough people.
You got the USA in on the torture, murder:
Translation of Alina Lipp’s recent Telegram on the murder of Gonzalo Lira.
Outrageous facts have come to light about the murder of journalist Gonzalo Lira: The American, who was tortured to death in SIZO, a Kiev pre-trial detention center in a special wing controlled by the SBU, was the victim of extortionists. SIZO employees and an SBU agent extorted $250,000 from Gonzalo for a change of preventive treatment. The vice-consul of the US embassy, who dealt with the problems of Lira, knew about the blackmail and twice wrote a statement to the SBU and the OP. As a result, the extortionists began demanding $500,000 for Lira’s transfer at his own expense.
The money was to be transferred in cryptocurrency to the SBU agent’s bank.

Three days after the increase in rates, Gonzalo called his lawyer, but before the lawyer got there, he was killed. An ambulance crew found that he had died of cardiac arrest, with multiple burns from stun guns. The US embassy is silent, Zelensky’s office is silent, the Ukrainian security service is ready to pay for the delivery of the body to Poland, and that’s it. Curtain closed. (Telegram, Lipp)
Torturer in Chief: The Title Fits Ten Million Current Fucks in Corporations and Governments!
Quoting: The horrors of Nyayo House torture chambers are still alive today and wherever its living victims are interviewed, they mention a retired Deputy Commissioner of Police, James Opiyo.
Born in 1945 to a carpenter in Ranen village belonging to the Onyango Abungo clan, a sub-clan of the larger Kogelo clan, Opiyo is said to be the ‘torture-in-chief’.
According to a past piece published by the Standard Digital, Opiyo received the best torture training including from CIA. He was also trained in Germany, Russia, Czechoslovakia and Britain.
His torture skills were great if the narration by some victims is anything to believe.
“First, it is fairly friendly. It is like persuasion. Then, if you persist, the following day, they become more intimidating, threats. After that, the third day, they would then become more violent. You would be taken down to be tortured. They would begin to pour the waters in the cells and so on. Until you finally give in and confess,” ODM leader Raila Odinga narrated in 2009 as quoted by Voice of America (VOA).
There was chaining, stripping, starvation and freezing among other methods.
“I was ordered to strip naked… my hands were chained to the chair and I could not move at all. From the moment the brutal interrogation started, everything in the room changed and the language of coercion and violence was introduced,” historian Maina wa Kinyatti was quoted by SDE.
Even screams could not help until the torture experts got what they were after whether imagined or real.
Opiyo has been painted as a cruel man by victims. However, his family describes him as a loving husband of three wives and the best father.
Susan Crawford, the retired judge in charge of determining which Guantanamo detainees should be tried by a U.S. military commision, has refused to refer the case of Mohammed al-Qahtani to prosecutors because of that assessment, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.
“We tortured (Mohammed al-) Qahtani,” Crawford told the Post. “His treatment met the legal definition of torture. And that’s why I did not refer the case” for prosecution.
Bats to the head, botulism put into their fucking medium rare prime rib:
I know daft people, even simple religious fools, who get teary eyed in airports when they see mercenary motherfucking punks in uniform in public! Just a snub-nosed .38 will do, Jack Ruby (Jewish sicarios) STYLE.
Nearly 40 [50]years ago, Alistair Horne wrote a magnificent book, A Savage War of Peace: Algeria 1954-1962. It tells the story of the French-Algerian War, which ended with the victory of the National Liberation Front (FLN) and an independent Algeria, a land that France had considered an integral part of metropolitan France itself. This book has often been revisited in the decades since its publication, most recently during the Iraq War, when – in 2007 – President George W. Bush invited Horne to speak with him at the White House.
One of the most powerful lessons from the book is on the issue of torture. Torture was used, arguably to great tactical effect, by the French during the war, particularly during the Battle of Algiers. Once the extent of the use of torture became public knowledge, however, it changed the debate about the war, in both France and the rest of the world. Given the ongoing debate about torture in America’s war against jihadists, reignited by the recent report on the CIA’s interrogation practices by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, we could do much worse than to revisit what Horne wrote about the use and impact of torture during this savage war of peace. We are proud to re-print a portion of this book with the permission of New York Review Books. We hope that this elegant and haunting passage will illuminate America’s national debate on an issue that is inextricably linked to both America’s counterterrorism strategy and its core values. Our choice to re-print this passage is not an attempt to claim or even comment on any moral equivalence between France’s torture scandal and our own, but to draw attention to the common shape and form that these debates tend to take, within military and intelligence organizations and in society as a whole. This passage, from Chapter 9, begins with the death of Larbi Ben M’hidi, one of the nine original leaders of the FLN. – RE (source)
Back to Russia’s demise:
The ministry also said that it intercepted four drones in the nearby Russian Belgorod region.
Voronezh, a city of more than 1 million people, lies some 250 kilometres (155 miles) from the border with Ukraine.
There was no immediate comment from Ukraine. Kyiv has intensified its air attacks in recent months in what it says are strikes targeting Russian military infrastructure to undermine Moscow’s war efforts.
Russia has an air base near Voronezh city, where some Sukhoi Su-34s bombers are based, according to Russian media. Russia often deploys the fighter-bomber aircraft during air strikes on Ukraine.
Russia can’t do SHIT against UK-French-USA-Coalition of the Willing Terrorists. Five Eyes, and, Russia is TOO small and TOO beckward to launch anything against the WEAPONS of Sam ALtman to Come!

Families are living dark and bleak days, almost just waiting for their turn to be murdered.
24 December was supposed to be a special day for Marwa Abed. It was her fifth birthday.
And despite the situation, her family were determined to hold some kind of celebration. Her father Muhammad knew that if they had not arranged a party, Marwa would have kept asking about a birthday cake.
Marwa, despite her tender years, has already lived through two wars on Gaza.
At kindergarten she loved English and Arabic. She loved memorizing the Quran.
She is the first child of Muhammad and his wife Aya and the second grandchild of the Abed family. She is always friendly and smiling and speaks almost too politely.
“She always got up early in the morning and had her breakfast to go to the kindergarten. Her activity is inspiring, and all her teachers praised her,” Muhammad said.
Now, however, her mornings are distressing.
“From getting up early in the morning with a huge smile on her face, to crying every night because of the massive bombardment, this is her life now. She cannot sleep at night and always cries out in panic, ‘I am afraid.’ Her life is nothing but torment,” Muhammad said.
Aya tries to keep her happy, but it’s a tough task to make a birthday cake under the circumstances.
“We have to fight for flour, so how can I make her a cake? Baking powder and other ingredients are not available and, if found, too expensive.”
Days before her birthday, Aya prepared some things for the birthday party, such as paper birthday crowns and some toys.
Normally, Marwa would get presents from her uncles, aunts and grandparents on her birthday. This year she only had two gifts, from her father and mother.
“We managed to make a simple cake, some popcorn, and date balls,” Aya said. “Her uncles, aunts and grandparents, all displaced and evacuated from Gaza to Deir al-Balah, gathered in the house to celebrate the birthday. Our goal was to make her happy. Nothing less. Nothing more.”
Singing louder
Every day in Gaza now is dark and miserable. Like everywhere else, Deir al-Balah – a city in the middle area – has suffered a series of airstrikes.
One landed very near Marwa’s house on her birthday.
“Instead of singing ‘Happy Birthday,’ the party was disrupted by intense bombings,” Muhammad said. “We waited for minutes, hoping the bombings would end. The sound only became louder. It was nerve-racking.”
Yet despite this, the children were intent on having fun. Over the sound of the missile strikes, they just sang louder, Muhammad said.
Marwa, third from right, ended up with a happy birthday after all. Abubaker Abed
“I honestly couldn’t speak for tears. I was so happy for her and the children. This is the first smile I have seen on her face for more than two months.”
Aya agreed, choking back her emotions.
“I know this is not the usual birthday party we hold. But at least, it made her day. It was truly delightful. But the fear that her fifth birthday could also be her last, never left me.”
Hassan, Muhammad’s cousin, was so happy for his three children – Ali, 8, Waleed, 6, and Hamza, 3 – that he couldn’t find the words.
“Hamza kept clapping and singing ‘Happy Birthday.’ I can’t remember a night he slept better during this war.”
Ali and Waleed’s birthdays are in February, Hassan noted.
“I hope this war ends soon. We are displaced and suffering from everything, so I can’t even think of planning their parties. I should be able to give them a nice birthday, like any child in the world.”
Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza has harmed children the most. More than 10,000 have been killed.
As children will, however, they are adapting, getting used to terrifying moments and terrifying days. Their childhood is turning into a nightmare.
But it’s the only childhood they have.
Marwa never imagined her birthday would be this way. But at least, she celebrated.
She had a moment of happiness. Her birthday did not become her death day.
Connect the fucking dots. Note: I see many pukes are un-subscribing from my free Substack. Says it all, says it all!!!!)
Verdict’s in: GUILTY of Amnesia and Terror and UniParty Politics. There is no shame in Biden or Trump’s game.
Since the start of Israel’s bombardment in retaliation for Hamas’s strike on October 7, Israel has dropped more than 29,000 bombs on the tiny Gaza Strip, according to a U.S. intelligence reportOpens in a new tab last month. And for the first timeOpens in a new tab in U.S. history, the Biden administration has been flying surveillance drone missions over Gaza since at least early November, ostensibly for hostage recoveryOpens in a new tab by special forces. At the time the drones were revealed, U.S. Gen. Pat Ryder insistedOpens in a new tab that the special operations forces deployed to Israel to advise on hostage rescue were “not participating in [Israel Defense Forces] target development.”
But several weeks later, on November 21, the U.S. Air Force issued deployment guidelinesOpens in a new tab for officers, including intelligence engagement officers, headed to Israel. Experts say that a team of targeting officers like this would be used to provide satellite intelligence to the Israelis for the purpose of offensive targeting.
It’s only 11 pages ofr Murder, so read it PDF. Connect the fucking dots.
from promoting lessers, to recrujiting from other countries, the Billionaires will get their pound of flesh and eat it too!
Biden is run by Israel, and so, Bomb Yemen, with no oversight, as 15 percent of global trade goes through this chokepoint. The Yemenis are no strangers to war and bombing. They withstood the pressure of neighboring countries and, with the aid of Iran, became stronger in military terms. Despite its modern weapons and considerable investments into the effort, the anti-Houthi coalition has not been able to defeat Ansar Allah. The group even managed to organize missile defense units, attack an area near the Riyadh international airport, and strike Saudi military bases.
And now Yemen’s Houthis are defying the United States and Israel.
These ships have to go around Africa. Bad for business. Capitalism: When did capitalism begin?
Modern capitalist theory is traditionally traced to the 18th-century treatise An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations by Scottish political economist Adam Smith, and the origins of capitalism as an economic system can be placed in the 16th century.
The fate of the Ukrainian lands is now at the epicenter of the confrontation between Russia and the West. However, there are growing reasons to believe that the current confrontation is only the beginning of a new phase in relations, which have never been particularly friendly. Several factors are contributing to the return of Russia and the West to the usual rut of systemic confrontation that has been going on for centuries: the inability of the Americans and their allies to recognize the decline of their power to influence the fate of the world, the general crisis of the global market economy, and the very independence of Russia, which has remained a challenge for the US and Western Europe.
What form this confrontation will take remains to be seen. It will certainly not be like the Cold War, when East and West were separated by the so-called Iron Curtain. It’s also unlikely to be as elegant as it was in the 18th and 19th centuries: The current times are more prosaic. But we can be relatively sure that an important part of the relationship will be a very different reading of historical events, including those about which there seems to be little factual basis for argument. We already see examples of this at every turn, to a ridiculous degree – like the recent statement by an elderly American politician that the US liberated Ukraine from Nazism during the Second World War.
In a sense, different peoples have different histories, and it is extremely rare for individual events of the past to be viewed identically on different sides of state borders. History is the interpretation of facts, the determination of the significance of each of them, and the placement of specific events in the general path taken by a state throughout its existence. Those who write textbooks and scientific monographs decide for themselves which facts deserve to become historical events. And they do so on the basis of their own considerations, which may be patriotic or subordinated to the current political situation. But in all cases, when history is written independently, it is inevitably state history. (By Timofey Bordachev, Programme Director of the Valdai Club)
Recall — Britain rules the world: UK boasts of leading aid to Ukraine. London has touted its “100-year alliance” with Kiev while ignoring Washington.
Britain has trained tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers since 2014 and led the Western effort to aid Kiev, Defence Secretary Grant Shapps said on Monday. Shapps spoke at Lancaster House in London about the UK’s place in a “more dangerous world.” He painted Britain as a leading global military and industrial power, without once mentioning the US.
Millions now have been infected with war, that Proxy War, that Maidan War, and the Anglo-American-British complicity is the monster of humanity. But we do not get the on-the-ground reports. Here:
Russian Defence Ministry report on the progress of the special military operation (15 January 2024)

The Rich and Their Portfolios are murdering the world:
“The world’s five richest men have more than doubled their fortunes from $405 billion to $869 billion since 2020 —at a rate of $14 million per hour— while nearly five billion people have been made poorer.”
(In case you’re wondering, the top five are Bernard Arnault and his family, Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffet, Larry Ellison and Elon Musk.)
“You might think there would be little that could surprise us,” says Oxfam’s Riddell. Indeed, their report in 2022 made a very similar point. As NPR’s headline observed: “Oxfam says the rich got richer in the pandemic, and the wealth gap is killing the poor.”
Ahh, so you get some fucking push back: “I’m not such a fan of the five-billion-people-are-worse-off number,” says Charles Kenny, a senior fellow with the Center for Global Development think tank.
“But they’re not worse off in terms of their life outcomes,” explains Kenny. “They’re not worse off in terms of how much they can afford to eat or are they getting decent health care? They’ve just borrowed more.”
Oxfam pushes back, saying these moneyed individuals with debt represent a small fraction of the 5 billion who are worse off. Most “ordinary people,” they say, are really struggling to get by.
Where are the Houthis for these pedophile boats?
Yemen’s Houthi militants struck an American container ship with a ballistic missile on Monday, US Central Command said in a statement. The militants have vowed to target merchant shipping in the Gulf of Aden in response to Israel’s war on Hamas.
Of course I am calling for these ships and boats to be missiled and droned out of the water, or sunk.
Interesting, I have been talking with Anthony James Hall. I’ll have a few pieces up here about our interview, upcoming in two days. Why was he called onto the carpet? Why did he get in trouble with University of Lethbridge in Alberta Canada ?
Part II was selected by The Independent in the UK as one of the best books of 2010. The journal of the American Library Association called Earth into Property “a scholarly tour de force.” One of the book’s features is to set 9/11 and the 9/11 Wars in the context of global history since 1492.
+—+
From Veterans Today: Largely as a result of comparing the predicament of Palestinians to the treatment of Indigenous peoples in the Western Hemisphere since 1492, Dr. Hall faced the ire of the Israel Lobby in Canada.
Ahh, so Hall was part of a false flag, a fabricated swatting?
Veterans Today: “In 2016, the Canadian branch of the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith mounted one of its notorious campaigns aimed at destroying the livelihood, reputation, and academic career of Dr. Hall.
The campaign was initiated on the basis of a joint operation linking Facebook Inc. with B’nai Brith Canada. Some have referred to this operation as a digital false flag event. It involved the publication of hateful fabricated posts whose malicious purpose was to defame Dr. Hall.
The Israel Lobby used the hoax to initiate a high-octane smear campaign in the international media. The Lobby persuaded the administration of the University of Lethbridge to join the smear campaign resulting in the illegal suspension of Dr. Hall, then a senior full professor with tenure. On the basis of a ruling by an Alberta Court, Dr. Hall was reinstated to his professional duties in 2017.
In 2018 Dr. Hall retired in good standing from his teaching responsibilities. Based on his academic record the University of Lethbridge granted him the title of Professor Emeritus. Professor Hall continues to live in Lethbridge where he spends much of his time conducting research and writing for various publications.”

WE all are anti-Jewish/anti-Israel/anti-Zionist when we doubt “their” words?
“On Namibian soil, Germany committed the first genocide of the 20th century in 1904-1908, in which tens of thousands of innocent Namibians died in the most inhumane and brutal conditions,” Hage Geingob, president of the southwest African nation, said on Saturday. “The German government is yet to fully atone for the genocide it committed on Namibian soil.”
“In light of Germany’s inability to draw lessons from its horrific history,” Geingob sharply denounced Berlin’s “shocking decision” to reject “the morally upright indictment brought forward by South Africa before the International Court of Justice that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.”
“The German government has chosen to defend in the International Court of Justice the genocidal and gruesome acts of the Israeli government against innocent civilians in Gaza and the occupied Palestinian territories,” the Namibian leader said.
“Germany cannot morally express commitment to the United Nations convention against genocide, including atonement for the genocide in Namibia, whilst supporting the equivalent of a holocaust and genocide in Gaza,” Geingob added.
Germans? All thugs? All genocide coveting murderers? Am I in trouble yet with those rhetorical questions?
Ahh, the world is run by the global elite, by the monopolies, the parasites.
The Urban U.S. could look very different in the year 2100, in part because thousands of cities might be rendered virtual ghost towns. According to findings published in Nature Cities, the populations of some 15,000 cities around the country could dwindle to mere fractions of what they are now.
“In the Northeast and Midwest, urban cities with lower median household income are more likely to experience depopulation over time,” the study authors wrote.
“Such trends could exacerbate socioeconomic challenges experienced by lower-income households in these regions, given that population decline can create affordability concerns with infrastructure services.”
Fees, man, while the wild wild west of Casino Capitalism allows massive die offs. None of this fucking makes sense, but it does in a society that sees no concerted socialism as management style for a nation, a state, a region, a community. Dog eat dog and sink or swim.
But fees for gas production, but no fees for weapons production? Or, Jesus, how the fuck do those fucking accelerants and explosives and fuels and bombs get manufactured?

Come on Professor Hall, here is a class-action lawsuit you might be able to glom onto!! Harvard University is being sued by students for what they claim is an “antisemitism cancer” growing on campus, accusing the institution of “hir[ing] professors who support anti-Jewish violence” and “ignoring students’ pleas for protection.”
“Harvard and its administrators… directly and intentionally discriminate against… Jewish Harvard student[s],” the lawsuit states.
The lawsuit was filed Wednesday by Kasowitz Benson Torres (KBT), a major New York City law firm that has been investigating colleges for allegedly violating Jewish students’ Title VI civil rights.
+—+
Hall knows what alternative facts are, for sure. Looking at the Jewish State of Jewish Occupied Palestine, man oh man, even Jeremy Scahill is looking hard at that racist state:
A TEAM OF Israeli lawyers and officials presented their defense at The Hague on Friday in the second day of the genocide case brought before the International Court of Justice by the government of South Africa. The lawyers portrayed Israel as the actual victim of genocide, not Gaza, accused South Africa of supporting Hamas, and painted South Africa’s government as functioning as the legal arm of the Palestinian militants who led the deadly raids into Israel on October 7.
Israel benefitted greatly from the fact that there was no cross examination permitted or debate allowed during these proceedings. It embarked on a bold mission to do in a court of international law what its military and political officials have done day and night throughout the course of this war against Gaza: unleash a deluge of what was known within the Trump administration as “alternative facts.”
Israel’s defense was the inverse of South Africa’s case yesterday, and as weak in offering documented facts as South Africa’s was powerful. History began on October 7, the Israelis seemed to say, South Africa is Hamas, South Africa did not give Israel a chance to meet up and chat about Gaza before suing for genocide, and actually the Israel Defense Forces is the most moral entity on Earth. As for the voluminous public statements by senior Israeli officials indicating genocidal intent, those were just “random assertions” by some irrelevant underlings. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s statements invoking a murderous story from the Bible about killing the women, infants, and cattle of your enemies? The South Africans just don’t understand theology and presented Netanyahu’s words out of context.

Who needs Harvard or any college when we have these fucking monster billionaires dialing for scientists? The Billionaires Spending a Fortune to Lure Scientists Away From Universities — Arena BioWorks is promising big paydays to nearly 100 researchers from Harvard, M.I.T. and other prestigious institutions.
In an unmarked laboratory stationed between the campuses of Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a splinter group of scientists is hunting for the next billion-dollar drug.
The group, bankrolled with $500 million from some of the wealthiest families in American business, has created a stir in the world of academia by dangling seven-figure paydays to lure highly credentialed university professors to a for-profit bounty hunt. Its self-described goal: to avoid the blockages and paperwork that slow down the traditional paths of scientific research at universities and pharmaceutical companies, and discover scores of new drugs (at first, for cancer and brain disease) that can be produced and sold quickly.
Braggadocio from startups is de rigueur, and plenty of ex-academics have started biotechnology companies, hoping to strike it rich on their one big discovery. This group, rather boastfully named Arena BioWorks, borrowing from a Teddy Roosevelt quote, doesn’t have one singular idea, but it does have a big checkbook.
Fucking Grade Inflation in the All You Can Be US Mercenary Army: Dozens of noncommissioned officers received fast-track promotions for graduating the Army‘s recruiting school in recent weeks — part of a controversial move by the service as it desperately grapples with a depleting pool of NCOs interested in serving in the role.
Of the 145 soldiers who attended the Army Recruiter Course, 56 NCOs were automatically promoted from sergeant to staff sergeant, according to the service. The graduation and promotions occurred Dec. 21, but the Army widely announced it on social media only Thursday.

“The Israel-Gaza war is the most dangerous situation for journalists we have ever seen, and these figures show that clearly…The Israeli army has killed more journalists in 10 weeks than any other army or entity has in any single year. And with every journalist killed, the war becomes harder to document and to understand.”

The fucking sun never sets on the decaying British Empire!
Between the cost of burial or cremation, the price of a memorial service, and expenses like legal fees, the “cost of dying” hit an average of £9,658 ($12,296) in the UK last year, the report stated. This represents an increase of £458 since 2022, and is the highest such figure ever recorded by SunLife.
Quoting Anthony: “Trudeau’s has yet to adequately explain his hostility to the South African case at the ICJ. The South Africans have been widely commended for their compelling legal arguments exposing in great detail the obvious genocidal assault of USA-Israel in Gaza. The result is that Trudeau continues to shame decent Canadians with his anti-Palestinian, anti-South African stance. Both Palestinians and South Africans oppose Israeli apartheid. Does Trudeau oppose Israeli apartheid?
The Trudeau government is also backing the bombing campaign against the Houthi-dominated Yemeni government because the Houthis are with the South Africans in standing up for the right of Palestinian civilians not to be exterminated en masse. We can now see clearly the government of Canada is supporting the mass murder and subsequent deportation of the survivors to finish off the genocidal designs of the Nakba initiated in 1948. Is the Trudeau government already negotiating with the Israeli genocidaires who are known to be seeking to relocate some of the Palestinian survivors into Canada after all the life support systems in Gaza have been purposely obliterated?”
Anthony is more dignified than I would be: “Trudeau’s atrocious position goes far beyond racism. With all his lies and corruptions and perversities, he should have been forced to resign as Prime Minister long ago. The fact that members of the Liberal caucus in Parliament along with the NDP Leader, Jagmeet Singh, have allowed him to stay in office, will be a source of shame and infamy for all of them throughout the remainder of their hopefully short political careers. This most recent disgrace, of and by Canadian parliamentarians follows in the wake of their enthusiastic standing ovations for a Waffen SS veteran who joined in the Hitlerian assault on Russia in WWII.”
— Governor General Michaëlle Jean has formally apologized to Rwandans for Canada’s role as part of the international community that failed to act “soon enough” to prevent the 1994 genocide. Declaring the genocide was made possible by the world’s “indifference and inaction,” Jean said Wednesday, “Canada acknowledges and takes responsibility . . . for not having responded soon enough to what was happening here. “I think we could have made a difference. I think we could have prevented the magnitude of the horror that brought . . . genocide here.”
Ahh, Palestine? Canada? Trudeau? The struggle and guilt will never surface in Klanada or Un-United $nakes of Israel First.e
Hero?
Excerpt: “Engraved still in my brain is the judgment of a small group of bureaucrats who came to “assess” the situation in the first weeks of the genocide: “We will recommend to our government not to intervene as the risks are high and all that is here are humans.”
My story is not a strictly military account nor a clinical, academic study of the breakdown of Rwanda. It is not a simplistic indictment of the many failures of the UN as a force for peace in the world. It is not a story of heroes and villains, although such a work could easily be written. This book is a cri de coeur for the slaughtered thousands, a tribute to the souls hacked apart by machetes because of their supposed difference from those who sought to hang on to power. It is the story of a commander who, faced with a challenge that didn’t fit the classic Cold War-era peacekeeper’s rule book, failed to find an effective solution and witnessed, as if in punishment, the loss of some of his own troops, the attempted annihilation of an ethnicity, the butchery of children barely out of the womb, the stacking of severed limbs like cordwood, the mounds of decomposing bodies being eaten by the sun.
This book is nothing more nor less than the account of a few humans who were entrusted with the role of helping others taste the fruits of peace. Instead, we watched as the devil took control of paradise on earth.”
From 1915, inspired by rabid nationalism and secret government orders, Turks drove the Armenians from their homes and massacred them in such numbers that outside observers at the time described what was happening as ‘a massacre like none other,’ or ‘a massacre that changes the meaning of massacre.’ Although we do not have reliable figures on the death toll, many historians accept that between 800,000 and one million people were killed, often in unspeakably cruel ways, or marched to their deaths in the deserts to the south. Unknown numbers of others converted to Islam or in other ways survived but were lost to the Armenian culture. At the time a number of influential people spoke out against these atrocities, most notably the distinguished historian Arnold J. Toynbee, but it has only been since the 1970s that scholars have devoted anything like sustained attention to this human catastrophe. There is more than enough evidence to suggest that the mass murder of the Armenians was a case of genocide, as that crime was subsequently defined in the United Nations Genocide Convention of 1948. Surviving perpetrators of the Armenian genocide could certainly have been held to account in an international criminal court.
Genocide:
Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, commemorating the lives of 1.5 million Armenians killed by the Ottoman Empire in 1915. Past U.S. administrations had been reluctant to officially mark the day, concerned it might offend Turkey, an important strategic ally. But President Biden issued a statement last year acknowledging the genocide and saying, we do this not to cast blame but to ensure that what happened is never repeated.
Peter Balakian, the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, comes from a family that fled the Armenian genocide. Some relatives were killed there. Here he reads this poem “After The Survivors Are Gone.”
Peter Balakian’s Armenian Genocide: A Dark Paradigm
In Armenia, 1987
Into a basalt cavern I wandered
where the moon slid like a water snake
in white skin through the gullies
to the blonde and furry wheat.
I dug toward the damp smell of a water channel—
found a shard of a cross
its lacework a system of streams wound into stone—
grapes and pomegranates pomegranates
and grapes pulpy in my hands.
Palmettos sawed my palms.
A rising moon in the moss-grown stone mirrored the light
where winged griffins, those talismans of blood
flew into the arms of Christ.
Down a gully like a volute
I found a way to the dry clay of the border
where a scimitar cut the horizon.
Pegasus flew out of the tufa walls
into the white shroud of Ararat
and the ringing bells slid into the scree.
Down there I felt my name disappear.
+—+
Parable for Vanished Countries
The mountain was close.
Far. Then closer.
Rivulets of light ran across it.
Lakes were white circles,
then canyons,
then empty eyes.
The sky was a field of burning stones.
It was neither day nor night.
It was jasmine, and fires went out
over my head. The closer I got,
the farther it was.
Rivers pooled like green wax,
and the orchards and vineyards
on its flanks flared
like the wings of a scarlet tanager.
The trees glared like shepherds’ crooks
in the brass light; crows roosted on them,
and the mountain rose into the sky,
until it was a cloud
shimmering in black air.

After the Survivors Are Gone
I tried to imagine the Vilna ghetto,
to see a persimmon tree after the flash at Nagasaki.
Because my own tree had been hacked,
I tried to kiss the lips of Armenia.
At the table and the altar
we said some words written ages ago.
Have we settled for just the wine and bread,
for candles lit and snuffed?
Let us remember how the law has failed us.
Let us remember the child naked,
waiting to be shot on a bright day
with tulips blooming around the ditch.
We shall not forget the earth,
the artifact, the particular song,
the dirt of an idiom—
things that stick in the ear.
Mandelstam in Armenia, 1930
Between arid houses and crooked streets
a shadow could be your wife or a corpse
and a mule’s hooves sounded like Stalin’s
fat fingers drumming a table.
In the Caucasus eagles and hawks
hung in the blue’s basilica.
A swallow flew off a socle
into the wing of an echo—
history’s caw and chirp and bird shit
on the tombs in the high grass.
On hairy serrated stems
poppies flagged like tongues.
Petals of flat paper
lined your thumbed-out pockets.
Anther seeds burned your pen.
From a cloud of broom a red bee stumbled
to your fish-globe brain.
A casket of light kissed the eyebrows of a tree.
Lake Sevan’s rippling blue skirt
lapped you. Slime tongues got your eyes.
A half-dead perch slithered your ear.
When the evening air settled
on the creatures of the mountain
the sun was the Virgin’s head.
Here, where the bush grew with fresh blood
and ancient thorns, you picked the rose
without scissors. Became an omen.
+—+
Road to Aleppo, 1915
A flame like a leaf eaten
in the sun followed you—
a white light rose higher
than the mountain,
and singed the corner of your eye
when you turned to find
the screaming trees
dissolving to the plain.
Even when the sun dropped,
the ground was heat and bayonets,
and in the Turkish wind
the throats of boys
kept ringing in your ears.
Your breath like horizon
settled into black.
You stuttered every mile
to your daughters’
shorter steps.
The air, almost gone,
filled inside your dress.
Post-Traumatic Shock, Newark, New Jersey, 1942
Shirts hang in the glass showcase
behind the gold French Cleaners,
when I open the door,
naphthalene rises
into the no-legs.
Delphiniums are blue like
the decanters of cologne from Paris.
That’s my brother’s house.
God’s face on a wooden belfry.
God’s lips. God’s nose.
God’s innocent little prick.
At the butcher’s those are cow’s eyes
with the visionary gleam of things
in the dead sand.
I’m the star of a Jew
rising from the beery foam
of Chaplin’s moustache.
It was a dirt road
like the head of an elk
or these hanging ribs.
Figs at Delaney’s all
the way from Smyrna
like shit in cellophane.
On the road. We were going there.
and then Hawaii turned into white light
on the screen of the Philco.
Kamikaze metal.
A runway of gin and broken glass.
Naphthalene of the Red Cross nurses.
Yes, yes, the child’s mine.
No Armenians left?
Jimmy Stewart you bastard
I’m here with some shopping bags.

The war caused the deaths of between 400,000 and 1,500,000 Algerians, 25,600 French soldiers, and 6,000 Europeans. War crimes committed during the war included massacres of civilians, rape, and torture; the French destroyed over 8,000 villages and relocated over 2 million Algerians to concentration camps.

“Through posters and campaigns, the French army tried to convince women to take off their veils and headscarves,” explained Donia Ismail, a Franco-Algerian journalist interested in Algerian history, to The New Arab.
“Personally, I can not care less about apologies. What we want is to hold the guilty accountable. And by that I do not mean to blame some individuals who were in charge during that time, because we know the crimes that were committed were more than individual decisions,” Ismail said.

Electronic Intifada: Al-Dahdouh said he tried to regain his strength to seek shelter as he anticipated another missile strike would follow. Realizing the severity of his bleeding arm, al-Dahdouh pressed it and opted to keep walking.
He eventually spotted paramedics and signaled to them, but they were unable to reach him. The correspondent walked until he got to them, received first aid and was taken to hospital.
“I asked them to return to Samer,” al-Dahdouh said.
“But the paramedics said that we had to leave immediately and send another vehicle to the location to avoid all of us becoming targets, and we arrived at the hospital.”
Al Jazeera reported that “by the time he reached an ambulance, medics said they could not return to the site of the attack because it was too dangerous.”
“Following Samer’s injury, he was left to bleed to death for over five hours as Israeli forces prevented ambulances and rescue workers from reaching him, denying the much-needed emergency treatment,” according to Al Jazeera.
Al-Dahdouh told the network that one ambulance tried to reach Abu Daqqa but the Israelis fired at it.
The live broadcast showed al-Dahdouh shortly after he arrived at the hospital. He urged medics and journalists around him to go back and rescue Abu Daqqa.
“Samer was screaming, coordinate with the Red Cross, get someone to bring him.”
Al-Dahdouh displayed the same dignity and determination he had shown when Israel killed his wife, son, daughter and grandson in Nuseirat refugee camp, central Gaza Strip, on 25 October.
“This is a preliminary message despite the wounds,” he said from his hospital bed.
The total obliteration of the war by information, propaganda, commentaries, with camera-men in the first tanks and war reporters dying heroic deaths, the mish-mash of enlightened manipulation of public opinion and oblivious activity: all this is another expression for the withering of experience, the vacuum between men and their fate, in which their real fate lies. It is as if the reified, hardened plaster-cast of events takes the place of events themselves.
Men are reduced to walk-on parts in a monster documentary film which has no spectators, since the least of them has his bit to do on the screen.
Theodor Adorno, Minima Moralia: Reflections from Damaged Life
“Live tracker. War as entertainment. So much engagement. So many clicks.
23 910 Palestinians “and 1 139 people”. Is the choice of words intentionally sarcastic? One hopes so.
More than 7 000 missing. Over 50 000 severely injured, and how many of them will die as a result?
We count the dead in numbers. Replaceable abstractions, reducible to their position in an imaginary line. Of course, this was always the case since ancient organized warfare. Rank. File. Divison. Decimatio. Fustuarium supplicium.
A number, not a person.
Mostly women and children have been murdered. More than 14 000.
About 600 000 men are so far needlessly slaughtered in Ukraine.
We can’t understand these abstractions. We have no idea what’s going on behind them. They shut us off from anything akin to a real experience of the situation.
And in the absense of any real experience, even mechanical warfare and mass murder get boring. Switch to another channel.
So do you have a child in your family or circle of acquintances? Imagine this innocent little person of unimaginable beauty and wonder being bludgeoned to death by concrete fragments. Then imagine it happens eight thousand times over. Is there in your life a mother, sister, friend?
Is there perhaps a woman you love?“ (Source Laughlyn (Johan Eddebo)
Don’t go far off, not even for a day, because — because — I don’t know how to say it: a day is long and I will be waiting for you, as in an empty station when the trains are parked off somewhere else, asleep.
Don’t leave me, even for an hour, because then the little drops of anguish will all run together, the smoke that roams looking for a home will drift into me, choking my lost heart.

But the Jews of Jew York City want Substack totally screened, so the above piece might be on the chopping block: Mine will be gone for sure. One site, my original, was hacked and I can’t post shit on it. Me, Man lost of tribe, in terminal Velocity: Terminal Velocity: Man Lost of Tribe July was the last time I could do shit on that site, and I lost some subscriber money. The editors or what have you at Substack, did not fix.
The Atlantic has, somehow, published yet-another anti-Subtack hit job, this time written by someone called Jacob Stern. (His LinkedIn proudly notes that he is a graduate of the $50k/year Georgetown Day School. The piece’s existence is both very difficult and very easy to understand. Difficult, because it adds nothing to what Jonathan M. Katz ’s self-regarding piece on the same topic in the same magazine did a couple weeks ago, really nothing at all; easy, because declaring people working without the blessings of big deal media to be racists is the kind of scutwork on which careers are now built.
Leadership at The Atlantic see Substack as an ox to be gored, and you can earn a lot of chits in this business being that kind of bagman. I hope someday you get to write the piece of your dreams, Jacob. Try not to crawl over too many bodies on the way there, if you can.
This is, again dirty Jewish Values?
Substack Was a Ticking Time Bomb
The platform seeded its own content-moderation crisis.
Am I the only bull in a china shop who sees these fucking Katz’s and Stern’s as totally fascist and worthless humans? And for which tribe do they dance to a different fiddler?
Note Miko Peled says Israelis (yes, the Jewish ones) are almost totally brainwashed and indoctrinated to hate Arabs, to treat Palestinians as less than sewer rats, and they do believe in their Jewish Supremacy and that their own DNA is superior to the rest of the human scum they see “us” as.
Now, again, all those mother-fuckers who are spitting on Gonzalo Lira’s grave, I wish them chop chop chop. To the groin and the neck.
Hero: 10 May 2023 — Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s comment on the abduction of journalist Gonzalo Lira Lopez by Ukraine security services
On May 5, we learned that the Security Service of Ukraine detained Chilean journalist and producer Gonzalo Angel Quintilio Lira Lopez. His lot remains unknown at this point.
The Latin American video blogger had been commenting on the events in Ukraine from the epicenter. He explained in detail the sources of the crisis and covered the atrocities of the Nazis, which was not to their taste once again.
This is not his first disappearance. A little more than a year ago (on April 15, 2022) he stopped contacting other people. It turned out that he was being held by Ukrainian secret services who had seized his notebooks and deprived him of access to his accounts. Then they had to release him because of the broad media coverage of his disappearance.
The Security Service of Ukraine is holding him once again, and we urge the journalist community to defend our colleague and demand his immediate release.
In the year of the 50th anniversary of the fascist state coup in Chile, we need to prevent a very similar repetition of those events in Ukraine. The coup led to the forced disappearance of thousands of Chileans, including journalists. We hope for solidarity from the Chilean authorities that consider themselves Salvador Allende’s spiritual heirs.
Fucking Jewish Zelenksy-Led Fascists. And for sure, in my world of social justice, every fuckiing Zelensky family member, friend, associate, backer, needs to be chop-chop-chopped to Hell.
BREAKING: It is with great sadness I must announce that Gonzalo Lira passed away in a hospital according to his father, who has been fighting to get his son much-needed medical attention for the past weeks. Here is a hand-written note from Gonzalo which I received on January 4:
“I have had double pneumonia (both lungs) as well as pneumothorax and a very severe case of edema (swelling of the body).
All this started in mid-October, but was ignored by the prison. They only admitted I had pneumonia at a Dec. 22 hearing. I am about to have a procedure to reduce the edema pressure in my lungs, which is causing me extreme shortness of breath, to the point of passing out after minimal activity, or even just talking for 2 minutes.”
“He was tortured, extorted, incommunicado for 8 months and 11 days and the US Embassy did nothing to help my son,” Gonzalo’s father wrote.
Luckier than many, I look forward to each day, so getting up is my favorite activity. Often leaving my dwelling before the sun rises, I soak in all activities with elation and gratitude. In Vietnam, this means hearing birds, roosters, street sweepers and other early risers. In the dark, they exercise or walk briskly.
During my six months in Tirana, I was daily astounded by the Skanderberg Mountain Range, as seen from my 8th floor window. In Cape Town, it was the Table Mountain as I walked out my door. In Phnom Penh, the sight of the Central Market’s dome never failed to cheer me. Seeing it each morning from my Zing Hotel room meant it was time to hit the still dark alleys. In Pakse, the earliest light would reveal Amor Fati Cafe across the street. Sometimes, an old, hobbling woman who rarely strayed from her block would look up to see me. On the ground floor, Sơn and Thảo, meaning Mountain and Grass, would be busy setting up their hotel’s restaurant while getting their kids ready for school.
This morning, my usual elation was punctured and poisoned by the horrible news Gonzalo Lira had been murdered. Abandoned by his government and mocked by gleeful cowards, Lira had been tortured to death by a regime fronted by a corrupt clown and sustained mostly with American money.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on 2/24/22 was merely a belated reaction to the American orchestrated Maidan Revolution of February 2014. Like Jews, Uncle Sam routinely inverts reality, so the destruction and humiliation of Ukraine, now in its final chapter, would be rebranded “The Revolution of Dignity.” Visiting Ukraine just two years later, I witnessed a society already on its knees, with its young men farcically sacrificed in a self-destructive war against Russia. The main American architect behind this was the Jewish Victoria Nuland. Since her grandfather had been forced to flee his native Odessa, Victoria was exacting payback, plus outrageous compound interest, but there were other factors.
On 3/28/22, Gonzalo Lira encapsulated these expertly in a YouTube video. The next day, I added, “A large chunk of Ukraine and southern Russia was once Khazaria, a Turkic kingdom that converted to Judaism in the 8th century. The extent and depth of this conversion have been much debated. Though mostly forgotten, Khazaria was a rival to Christian Byzantium and the Islamic Caliphate for three centuries, with its final demise in the 10th century effected by, drum roll please, Russians! Jewish Khazaria’s annihilator was Sviatoslav I of Kiev.” Jews hate Slavs, in short, so a key objective of the Ukraine war is to murder as many Slavs a possible, a point I made on 3/9/22.
It’s easy enough for me to state all this from the safety of Namibia, but Lira was in Kharkiv. Though a “fish on the chopping block,” to borrow a Vietnamese phrase, he gave us invaluable insights and observations from the war zone without self censorship. It’s this bravery that gained Lira admirers worldwide. Scott Ritter, though, shamefully suggested he was colluding with Ukrainian intelligence. To do what, Scott?
On 3/6/22, Lira correctly predicted Western sanctions will hurt the West much more than Russia. On 3/23/22, Lira concluded the US was committing suicide, but let me to tweak his assessment slightly. With Jewjabs, unchecked illegal immigration, woke education, cancel culture, cowed intellectuals, Jewjewed media, crumbling infrastructure and lying, pedophilic leaders, America is being murdered with a thousand cuts by Uncle Sam’s puppeteer. This is undeniable to anyone paying the least attention, but that’s asking a lot. Here’s a clue: Sam’s increasingly naked genocidal lust mirrors Israel’s, so locked in the sickest 69, they’ll sink together.
Lira was among the few who remembered the Jewjab murdered Tiffany Dover. Sometimes, Lira was wrong, as when he thought Zelensky would soon be assassinated by the US itself. So what? Bold and blunt, Lira literally risked his life to make statements about Zelensky, Putin, Biden and NATO, etc. Among the cowed, Lira stood tall, so that will be his legacy.
Another American in Ukraine is Graham Seibert, but unlike Lira, Seibert is only capable of recycling official bullshit, such as Putin is evil and will flee or be overthrown any time now, Zelensky is the new Churchill, Russians are thinly disguised Mongolians and Ukraine is kicking Russia’s ass, etc. Seibert even believed a Ukrainian babushka had knocked down a Russian drone with a jar of tomatoes ferociously pitched from her balcony!
For mouthing nonsense, 80-year-old Siebert is alive in Kiev with his young wife, while Lira is dead, but let me say this: any nation’s chance of survival is proportionate to its ratio of Graham Seiberts to Gonzalo Liras.
On 9/20/23, American born Ukrainian spokesman Sarah Ashton-Cirillo was fired for making cartoonish threats against journalists, “Next week, the teeth of the Russian devil will gnash ever harder, and their rabid mouths will foam in an uncontrollable frenzy as the world will see a favorite Russia propagandist pay for their crimes […] This puppet of Putin will be the first[…] Russia’s war criminal propagandists will all be hunted down, and justice will be served.”
With Lira gone, Ashton-Cirillo wears a sad face as he/she offers condolences to his family, but his/her stance is clear when he/she hopes that Gonzalo will be “able to find redemption with the Lord,” for he’s “guilty of what he was accused of.” This sudden lawyer cum prosecutor cum judge cum jury even concludes that “Gonzalo Lira was a would-be agent of the Russian government”!
As for his death, it was a “natural demise and natural passing” caused by pneumonia brought on by the stress of “insert[ing] himself into a war on the side of the Russians.” No, Sarah, Lira had lived in Ukraine for years with his Ukrainian wife and children. It’s you who inserted yourself into this genocidal war caused by Satanic Jews and the American empire.
Unlike you and Graham Seibert, Lira risked his life to defend Ukraine. He couldn’t stomach seeing it destroyed. You say he deserved what happened for choosing to stay, but that wasn’t just his home, Sarah, but the native land of his wife and children. For the rest of us, Lira also provided unmatched reports from a country being methodically tortured and wrecked. The same folks are doing it in Gaza.
Hopefully, the truth will come out, even if it takes decades or centuries. As American clowns, assholes and psychos are celebrated, its bravest men are smeared with shit then flushed away, but some day, let’s hope, Lira, David McGowan and Gary Webb, among others, will be held up as models to children.
Those kids won’t be American, though, for that sad, sick country swarming with the most timid and self-regarding will have long disappeared.
As their society imploded, all they did was loot, rape, kill each other, “vote” and rap, and why not?

I checked out your source Paulo, on Meyer Lansky and discovered Algemeiner. It looks like from the perspective of that venue I’m in the lineup with Lansky. Do you know who is behind the publication.
“This is a monumental and precedent-setting victory for human rights in Canada,” said Michael Mostyn, CEO of B’nai Brith Canada.”
Michael Mostyn must see the genocide of babies in Gaza as a human rights victory for his gang of thugs. Meyer Lansky had a lot more class than the Canada’s B’nai Brith cons that Algemeiner’s staff esteem so highly.
B’nai Brith Canada planted Joshua Goldberg’s ugly posted on my Facebook page as the launching pad of their smear campaign.
When searching for Anthony Hall, you get this on that fucking Zionist paper,
When searching this — on Jewish Google: :Anthony Hall fired from Canadian University” you get all these curated and filtered and swiped off the map (that is, counter charges) Google, the Agnotology Factory.
At least the students, if they would even be allowed to do a critical look at Hall’s case, can get that last link above and then go through pages and pages of the issue.
“Professor Hall retired from the University of Lethbridge in October 2018. He is now Professor Emeritus. He retired because the university environment became too toxic for him to work in as a result of his having been falsely accused of antisemitism.
A full and accurate story of what occurred has yet to be told. It is an important story because of what we all can learn about what needs to be done to protect academic freedom. What does it really mean for a university to be a liberal university? The University of Lethbridge claims that it is, but is it?
The story is also important because of what it tells us about the role that universities play in shaping public opinion during times of conflict – the “war on terror” has been going on for many years now. Do universities serve the prevailing power structure, or do they check that power in the service of peace and justice for all?
There is a five-part “series” explaining the situation: from the accused’s point of view, which for all intents and purposes should be heard, right, in any democracy (sic) especially around losing one’s livelihood as a teacher, especially around academic freedom. The hit squads that go after teachers, professors, well, they are not so sophisticated, but they are like armies of malarial born mosquitoes. Unstoppable without poison.

The Chair of the Board of Governors of the University of Lethbridge, Kurt Schlachter, responded in a letter to the Herald, which may be read here.
Professor Hall responded to Mr. Schlachter in a letter which was not published in the Herald, but which may be read here.
Additionally, Robin Matthews wrote a letter to the Herald, which was not published in the Herald, but may be read here.

Questioning the 9/11 lies, well well, that gets you into the tinfoil hat looney bin of mainstream whoring media, and worse, mainstem stupid academic circle jerk pile ons.
“In light of this analysis Tony became first skeptical, then a complete disbeliever, in the official narrative of what happened on the infamous day of September 11, 2001, known as “9/11”. He worked with Splitting the Sky, in his attempt to arrest George Bush on his visit to Calgary in 2009. Such behaviour was bound to earn him enemies, and must have been very discomfiting to those who believe the official narrative. Just prior to this event Tony gave a presentation to the Sociology Department at the University of Winnipeg, titled Should George W. Bush Be Arrested in Calgary, Alberta, To Be Tried For International Crimes?in which he said:
The most serious failures connected to the events of 9/11 are not those of US intelligence agencies, airport security services, NORAD and the like. Rather the deepest and darkest of the failures to protect us for those enemies that menace us most lie with journalists, mainstream media outlets, professors and the universities that employ us. It is we who have in the vast majority of cases chosen to abandon our skepticism and with it our professional ethics and responsibilities. By and large our professional class and caste continue to respond to the events of 9/11 in ways that are expedient rather than wise. As I see it, therefore, it is a mass treason of the intellectuals that constitutes the most significant underlying condition resulting in the continuing fraud known as the War on Terror. The War on Terror continues to be packaged, promoted and sold to the public in the most aggressive campaign of psychological warfare ever mounted. How many of us are complicit with our silence in this black psyop, the key enabling factor in the ongoing aggressive wars justified in the name of an unfounded and unproven official conspiracy theory of 9/11?
“I stand with Tony Hall in this assessment. Surely all citizens of the world have a responsibility to develop as best they can an accurate understanding of any historical event as significant as 9/11. And is it not a special responsibility of those who belong to academe, who have been given the time and resources to explore such issues, to do so, and to help others see the truth as they see it? This is not to say that every university professor should drop whatever research program he or she is engaged in, and turn to 9/11, but surely those who do should be encouraged, and not suspended without pay.”
Look, the billionaires and all their sycophants, their Eichmanns, big and small, all those henchwomen, all those black-robed bought-and-paid-for judges and adjudicators, all the neo-cons in liberal sheep’s clothing, AKA, neo-liberal-totalitarians, all of them, are running like rats from a sinking ship.
The billionaire investor, who helped lead a public charge to remove former Harvard President Claudine Gay, criticized the returns of the college’s endowment, which he says has trailed the market. Harvard’s annualized 10-year return as of June 30 was 8.2%. It was the second-lowest performance of the eight Ivy League schools, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Harvard didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
To continue his scrutiny of antisemitism and diversity, equity and inclusion policies on US campuses, Ackman plans to form a team that will go “after these issues in a very aggressive way,” he said.
With his new think tank, Ackman is poised to deploy familiar tactics on unfamiliar targets. At Pershing Square Capital Management, he used a scorched-earth approach to activist investing that resulted in both big wins and shattering losses.
“It’s going to be a think-and-do tank,” he said. “We’re going to study these issues and come up with solutions to problems, and we’re going to implement them.”
Is it anti-Jewish?
This one, anti-Jewish because Biden has mostly Jewish Self Identified Zionist and Israel Uber Alles folk working for him?
Or is this one anti-Jewish because Trump’s family is Jewish and he hires Jewish Lawyers and CPA’s?
Sometimes it’s just the Obama Donkeys that jump ship:
Is this verboten in college classes? Dissecting this piece of shit rag? NY Rag, err, Mag.
Is this going to get the college prof in trouble, citing old news, having students going WAY back to see what this Jewish First and Zionist Always and Israel Mothership noise is all about?
Why should the Palestinians be held victims to US politics while being held hostage to Israeli politics for the last six decades. Why should most Israelis continue to live in a garrison state incapable of normalising relations with their neighbors?
Why should Americans watch as their politicians are held hostage to a foreign power and its influential supporters?
The pro-Israeli Jewish lobby, J Street, commented on the alarming pandering to Israel not only among Democrats but also Republicans, saying: “There’s no limit, it seems, to how far American politicians will go these days in pandering on Israel for political gain.”
While there has been strategic logic for the US support for Israel in the past, Washington’s current pandering makes little sense.
Washington has long used its influence with Israel as strategic leverage to reign in Arab leaders. Only Washington can restrain Israel in war and wring concessions in diplomacy, Arab leaders once reckoned.
But the dictators who either exploited Palestine to garner popular support at home, or bartered it in return for Western favours, belong to the past.
Today’s Arabs are bitter and angry at US-Israeli complicity in Palestine and they won’t be as easily bounded or bribed as their fallen dictatorships.

remember when looting and destroying museums and churches and graveyards and holy sites and heritage site were bad things?
No more with this Israel First and Always Cabal of Thugs and Murderers. Not ANYMORE with this Wailing Wall White House in Charge of the World.
The United States and its allies ignored the warnings of organizations and scholars concerning the protection of Iraq’s cultural heritage, including museums, libraries, archaeological sites and other precious repositories. Arsonists badly burned the National Library and looters pillaged the National Museum. Looters also damaged or destroyed many historic buildings and artifacts. The US constructed a military base on the site of ancient Babylon. Coalition forces destroyed or badly damaged many historic urban areas and buildings, while thieves have ruined thousands of incomparable, unprotected archeological sites.
Another wave of looting has engulfed Iraq’s archaeological sites as an understaffed “antiquities police” struggles to protect them. In the chaos surrounding the US invasion in 2003, looters ransacked many of such sites leading to an immeasurable loss of artifacts from the Mesopotamian civilization. Since then, preservation and protection of these sites has hardly been a top priority for the US-trained Iraqi Federal Protection Police. The “antiquities police” was created for this purpose in 2008; however it remains poorly funded and hardly has enough staff to protect its own headquarters. (New York Times)
Archeologists say the ancient site of Babylon paid an extremely high price after the US used the site as military headquarters for 5 months. British Museum curator John Curtis calls the US action to build a base on the site as “ignorant and stupid” and says the 170 meter long and two meter deep trenches have caused irreversible damage. (Agence France-Presse)
The US invasion of Iraq has seriously damaged the ancient city of Babylon. Iraqi officials state that US and Polish forces, from 2003 until 2005, greatly harmed the archeological site by using it as a military base. A UN report, due early in 2009, will examine the damage caused by the US and Polish military during this period. (Associated Press)
US customs officials have returned more than 1,000 stolen Iraqi artifacts, found in the US, to the Iraqi embassy in Washington. The scale of the recovered antiquities suggests that illegal excavations and smugglings continue. Suspected involvement by US personnel in the theft of artifacts calls into question previous US officials’ assertions that Iraqi “extremists” were to blame for the sale of stolen Iraqi artifacts. (Azzaman)
During the 2003 US-led invasion thieves looted and destroyed Iraq’s archaeological treasures. Important sites remain unguarded and the country has lost priceless historical artifacts. Director of Oriental Science at the German Archaeological Institute in Berlin, Margarete van Ess, estimates that illegal excavation in Iraq has caused $10 billion worth of damage. (Institute for War and Peace Reporting)
A leading expert at the British Museum has revealed that members of the Kuwaiti ruling family, officials from the governments of Iraq and Turkey and regional gangs within Iraq possess antiquities looted during the earliest phases of the US occupation of Iraq. In a show of complete disregard for the importance of culture and history, Norwegian businessman, Martin Schoyen, has even “opened a private museum carrying his name in which he is displaying 6,000 smuggled pieces he bought via mediators.” (Az-Zaman)
Often called the cradle of civilization, Iraq was also a major center of early scholarship and home to the world’s first library. US troops failed to protect the Iraq National Library and Archives (INLA) from looting in 2003. Although this led to the loss of “as many as 60 percent of the Ottoman and Royal Hashemite era documents, the bulk of Ba’ath era documents and 25 percent of the book collections,” the budgets for rebuilding the INLA have been pitifully small. (The Nation)
This Guardian article describes how, four years into the occupation, Iraq’s cultural heritage continues to be destroyed. The US has used the 10th-century caravanserai of Khan al-Raba for exploding seized insurgent weapons, and looters continue to systematically plunder some of the thousands of sites of incomparable historical importance. By not protecting Iraq’s culture, the US and the UK are in contravention of their obligations under the Geneva Conventions, which state that occupying powers must “use all means within [their] power” to preserve the cultural heritage.
This Independent article points out that the destruction of Iraq’s cultural treasures continues unabated. Looters protected by their own private armies are digging into Iraq’s archeological sites in search of artifacts to sell to the US and European markets. The illegal digging is destroying entire ancient cities and, according to a professor at the British School of Archeology in Iraq, “a country’s past is disappearing while we stand and watch.” In violation of the Hague Convention, the Coalition forces have failed to protect some of the world’s most precious archeological sites.
Dismayed by the continuous looting of Iraq’s irreplaceable ancient artifacts, Donny George, head of Iraq’s Antiquities Board, has quit his post after unsuccessful attempts to safeguard 5,000 years of history. George cited a lack of funding as the purpose for his departure, as well as mounting pressure by Shiite officials to emphasize the protection of Iraq’s Islamic heritage over earlier civilizations that pre-date Islam. (Washington Post)
As the “cradle of civilization,” Iraq is well known for its cultural and intellectual heritage. However, years of turbulence have eroded this legacy. During the 13 years of US- and UK-driven UN sanctions, many Iraqi academics, doctors, and scientists fled the country. Following the US-led invasion and occupation, Iraqi professors have been subject to murder, kidnapping, and arrest. By some estimates, as many as 500 prominent academics have “disappeared” or been murdered. (Islam Online)
Thousands of Iraq’s most famous historical artifacts have been stolen, the Washington Post reports. Widespread looting has continued since the 2003 US-led invasion, and occupation forces have not made protection of Iraq’s cultural heritage a priority. Given the value of stolen works and the nature of the art trade, most experts doubt that Iraq’s most famous artifacts will ever resurface.
Scientific research and education in Iraq have suffered as a result of the US-led invasion. Many university laboratories lack necessary supplies while others have been completely destroyed.

The looting of Iraq’s cultural treasures continues unabated. While some of the plunder is small-scale, large organized gangs are bulldozing sites and selling artifacts on the black market, and Iraqi officials believe the proceeds end up in the insurgents’ hands. In response to the looting, vandalism and military occupation, the World Monuments Fund has put Iraq on its list of most endangered sites, “the first time that it has listed an entire country.” (Times, London)
More than half the items looted from the Iraq National Museum in Baghdad have yet to be traced or recovered. The author of this Independent piece describes the looting as “evidence of how quickly and irretrievably a country can be stripped of its cultural heritage.” To make matters worse, the full extent of the damage cannot be gauged due to the “deteriorating” security condition.
Babylon, one of the world’s most important archeological sites, has been badly damaged by terrorist attacks, which began when Halliburton built US Camp Babylon at the location of the ancient city. The Iraqi Culture Minister has called for a full investigation to evaluate the damage caused and the level of reparations the ministry should request. (The Nation)

The Dirtiest of the Dirty — Israel, 2023-2024!
I’ve seen some of the most disgusting Jews on earth on TikTok and on X/Twitter. Vile. Politicians, regular Cohen’s and Lansky’s. I’ve seen the gloating IOF smearing feces on children’s toys, beds, on holy items.
They-All-Need-To-Die, sure, I’d be chanting that if I had skin in the game as a Christian or Muslim.
But, I do HAVE skin in the game, more than religious leaning folk. Where are the Arab nations? All those sites destroyed with glee?

Florida’s Public Colleges Are Told to Ease Transfer for Jewish Students
First of all, he didn’t mention much about his time in Guantánamo, because we knew he was part of JTF and he was a legal adviser. And if you ask me, I think DeSantis is a cruel person. I believe that his mission there was a cover-up, to cover up what happened in 2006.
So, about Fallujah, I don’t think I’m in a position to comment on his time there, but for what I have read and seen, that — we all know what happened in Fallujah, like death of civilians, using depleted uranium and so on. So, I would like to say one word to Americans: Just watch out from that person. You know, he’s someone who bend the truth to serve his own political interest.
— Former Guantánamo prisoner Mansoor Adayfi
Which side of Ron DeSantis’ moldy bread is buttered by AIPAC and old Meyer Lansky Floridians’ supremacy shekels?
But, the memo is out — conversion to Judaism for your college-aged chidlren will get them a ticket to the front of the line, you, know, in that State of Disney, per the Anti-Mickey Mouse Hard On Killer, Ron.
A directive from DeSantis on Tuesday prompted an emergency order from the chancellor of the State University System of Florida. The order instructed each of the state’s 12 public universities to waive transfer-application deadlines and credit-hour requirements for students who demonstrate a “well-founded fear of antisemitic or other religious discrimination” at any out-of-state institutions. Individual colleges will have to determine whether students meet that standard.
The Florida College System, which includes the state’s 28 two-year institutions, is also carrying out the new policy.
The Florida governor himself admitted in a 2018 interview that he was one of the people who suggested force-feeding prisoners, something that many human rights organizations have decried as torture. DeSantis was also sent to Guantánamo the same year that three inmates died, the worst loss of life in the prison’s history. The official report was that the three men died by suicide, but many people, including a former Guantánamo guard, dispute that finding.
Two former detainees have called out DeSantis specifically for his role in the unbearable situation at Guantánamo. One, Abu Sarrah Ahmed Abdel Aziz, told The Washington Post he is “100 percent” certain he spoke to DeSantis multiple times. Abdel Aziz spoke fluent English and was trying to report mistreatment claims to JAG officers.
This war criminal, Ron:
For the university system’s order to be challenged in court, a lawsuit must be brought by someone who has been injured or affected tangibly as a result of the policy, according to Howard M. Wasserman, a professor of law at Florida International University, whose university is affected by the change.
Of course, a story in the Chronicle of MisEducation can’t end their pap without a distinguished Jewish dude putting his two shekels in: Can’t get some non-Jew to challenge this because then it’s bye-bye tenure or your/his/her (very few women have the guts to challenge Israeli and Jewish supremacy) LIFE.
“It really does depend on how the universities put this into effect,” Wasserman said, because the document itself is light on specifics. Until then, he said, “I don’t think we will fully know what it means and therefore we won’t fully know whether or not it’s valid.”
MANSOOR ADAYFI: Yeah, that’s back to 2006. As you know, like — let me give a brief introduction to why we went on hunger strike in the first place. As you know, we were transferred to Guantánamo, spent years without — without any kind — like, until now, without kind of, like, charges or rights and so on. By the end of 2002, General Geoffrey Miller arrived, and he turned the Guantánamo into a experimenting lab. And the situation got only worse every month and every year.
By 2005, we managed to organize like a mass hunger strike, that embarrassed the U.S. government. The camp administration at that time tried to negotiate with us to stop the hunger strike so they can improve the living condition in the camp. We agreed. But it was just they were buying time.
By the beginning of 2006, a new medical team, a new camp staff arrived. One of them was a young — a young, handsome officer, who came to talk to us and told us he was there to ensure that we were being treated humanely. And we talked to him about why we were on hunger strike, what were our demands. It wasn’t jihad, as he said, like. And, you know, what people always try to turn our actions in Guantánamo as like in jihad or al-Qaeda activist cell, that what used to tell us all the time. So, these were our demands. Stop the torture. We were asking for them to improve the living condition in the camp. And he was talking to us and assured us that everything will change, and he will make sure that we be treated humanely.
Only two months, only like, I think, even less, only even less two months later, we were dragged to block — solitary confinement, different camp, different blocks. A new medical team arrived, and they start forcing feed us. And I’m [inaudible] no problem with the force-feeding. They used the force-feeding as a mean of torture. You know, I was taken to a nonformal block in Camp 2. I was tied to a force-feeding chair. Like, I couldn’t move at all. I could only breathe. Guards bring piles of Ensure. And they started with the nurses pouring can of Ensure one after another, like the only way like you eat.
So, during the feeding, a group of officers arrived with the interpreters, with the interrogators, camp staff, medical staff. They were behind the fence. And I saw one of them was Ron DeSantis in a military uniform. And he was — while I was screaming, yelling, because I couldn’t breathe, of the Ensure, and was like — I was bleeding, because they really insert the thick tube through my nose. So, I was, like, calling them, asking, and he was actually laughing, looking at the other officers, and smiling. So, this is my first encounter — second encounter with the Ron DeSantis. The first, before the force-feeding, he came to talk to us and other prisoners. Second time I saw him like twice while on the force-feeding.
And I would like to highlight really important things here. He was there — he wasn’t there, like, to give orders. He wasn’t involved directly in the force-feeding. I didn’t see him give any orders to the guards. But he was there, like, supervising, watching. When I asked other prisoners who were also in the force-feeding if they saw him, they said yes. One of them, at least he told me — he sent me a message. He said he was there, too.

Remember, Jews, Florida is NOT a sanctuary state:
Inspirational, Ron, real Jewish values? — In the name of “parental rights,” the Republican governor has banned instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity and limited what Florida schools can teach about racism and U.S. history. He has exercised control over the pronouns and bathrooms students use. Tenured professors now must undergo regular reviews, as part of sweeping reforms to police “left-wing ideology” and “indoctrination” in higher education.
“So what if Zelenskyy is Jewish? The fact does not negate the Nazi elements in Ukraine. I believe that Hitler also had Jewish blood. It means absolutely nothing. The wise Jewish people said that the most ardent antisemites are usually Jews. Every family has its black sheep, as we say.” —- Sergey Lavrov
Kapos, called Funktionshäftling by the SS, were prisoners who collaborated with the Nazis to serve in leadership or administrative roles over others interned in the same Nazi concentration camp.
Ron wants Jewish Supremacy taught, but not Black History taught: DeSantis also has taken several steps to regulate the teaching of Black history — which other conservative leaders have emulated.
In January, he rejected a new Advanced Placement course on African American studies, saying it was not “historically accurate” and violated the Stop Woke Act — a 2022 Florida law that limits the way gender and race are discussed in classrooms and workplaces.
Following Florida’s lead, Arkansas officials announced objections to the course earlier this week, but several school districts have pushed back, saying they still plan to offer the AP course. North Dakota, Mississippi and Virginia said earlier this year they plan to review the course material before deciding if it can be taught in their schools.
Is it this Zionist Nazi history Ron is okay with?
Florida? Haven for Jews?
Moses Levy purchased over 50,000 acres in 1820 in Alachua County in Northern Florida, which eventually grew to 100,000 acres. He constructed three properties: A sugar cane plantation on the Matanzas River, the Hope Hill plantation in present-day Astor, and Pilgrimage, a few miles from Micanopy. Levy’s dream started to come to fruition in 1823 when his business partner, Frederick Warburg, arrived with 21 settlers.
However, the community only lasted 13 years until the Second Seminole War broke out in 1835. At that point, the community dispersed.
Although it was a financial failure for Levy, it was successful in that it was the first Jewish farming settlement in the United States and created possibilities for persecuted Jews from Europe. The Jewish colony he built in Micanopy is today home to the University of Florida. In an interesting turn of history, this University has the largest Jewish population of any public university in the United States.
Those chickens coming home to roost?
The primary reason for the small Jewish population in South Florida was the very visible antisemitism.
It was common to see signs in Miami and Miami Beach that read “Gentiles Only” or “No Jews or Dogs.” Wealthy and influential developers, including Highway builder and Entrepreneur Carl G. Fisher’s refused to serve Jewish customers and Oil and Railroad Mogul Henry Flagler (1830-1913) prohibited land sales and hotel lodgings to Jewish clients.
By the 1930s, advertisements for some of Miami Beach’s oceanfront hotels said, “Always a view, never a Jew.”
In Miami Beach, Jews were only permitted to live south of Fifth Street, as developers placed restrictive covenants in their land deeds prohibiting the sale of Miami Beach lots to Jews north of Fifth Street. Resourceful Jews did purchases modest hotels and apartments on property south of Fifth Street, but the overall feeling was of antisemitism.
The discriminatory laws began easing up in the 1930s and officially ended in 1949.
DeSantis loves school (taxpayer funded) vouchers for Orthodox radicals: Recently, there has been an explosive growth of South Florida’s Orthodox Jewish Community.
South Florida has hundreds of Orthodox shuls and Chabad centers, and dozens of Orthodox schools, and yeshivas. There are over 5000 children in Orthodox schools that benefit from the school-voucher system in Florida. There are advanced learning Kollels, Jewish outreach centers, and numerous kosher restaurants. In the winter, Chassidim from New York, including prominent rebbes and tens of thousands of Orthodox Jews from places like Brooklyn, Lakewood and Chicago visit for days or weeks in South Florida. (The Surfside tragedy recalls South Florida’s long hold on the Jewish imagination and reality)
Lansky was born Meier Suchowlański in Belarus on July 4, 1902 to a poor Polish family that faced persecution and pogroms. Meyer arrived at the Lower East Side of Manhattan in 1911. A voracious reader, he also quickly exhibited the remarkable math and gambling skills that helped him become “the mob’s accountant” as he rose to increasing influence in the organized crime syndicate.
During the pre-World War II decades, attacks on Jews became rather virulent in parts of the country. Several religious broadcasters in the Midwest openly targeted Jews as undesirable, and the Brown Shirts in New York and the Silver Shirts in Minneapolis attacked Jews in the streets. Though not religiously observant, several Jewish gangsters noted the lack of strong response from organized Jewish leadership and decided to step up to protect Jewish communities.
First, upon the request of New York State Judge Nathan Perlman, Lansky was asked to break up the rallies of the German-American Bund in New York City, provided that Lansky’s “toughs” would not kill anyone. Lansky would have preferred to knock off some American Nazis, but he agreed and further advised he would take no payment, stating, “I was a Jew and felt for those Jews in Europe who were suffering. They were my brothers.” Prof. Rockaway notes that “Nazi arms, legs, and ribs were broken and skulls were cracked, but no one died.”
Lansky described breaking up one Brown Shirt rally in Manhattan: “The stage was decorated with a swastika and a picture of Hitler. The speaker started ranting. There were only fifteen of us, but we went into action. We threw some of them out the windows. Most of the Nazis panicked and ran out. We chased them and beat them up. We wanted to show them that the Jews would not always sit back and accept insults.”
Gambling honcho David Berman and his allies similarly broke up rallies of the Silver Shirts in Minneapolis, who sought to replicate Hitler’s Brown Shirts in Germany and Mussolini’s Black Shirts in Italy by attacking “Jewish communists” in America. After three public meetings were violently disrupted, the Silver Shirts halted their campaign to demonize American Jewry.
Next, continuing his anti-Nazi efforts during World War II, Lansky led the efforts to assist the US Office of Naval Intelligence to identity German infiltrators and submarine-borne saboteurs. In exchange for the release of his friend Luciano from prison, Lansky’s men provided security for US warships being built in the docks of New York Harbor. German submarines were sinking allied ships along the eastern seaboard and the mob went to work to infiltrate, identify, and inform on pro-Nazi supporters on the New York waterfront.
Further, both Meyer Lansky and his partner Bugsy Siegel helped the nascent Jewish State of Israel. One reported meeting took place between Bugsy and Reuven Dafne, the emissary of the Haganah, in 1945. Jews were seeking funds and weapons to liberate Palestine from British control. Bugsy said, “You mean to tell me Jews are fighting? You mean fighting as in killing?” When told yes, Siegel said, “I’m with you.” He quietly provided suitcases full of cash in support.
Bugsy Siegel, Meyer Lansky’s boyhood friend, went on to become the most famous of Jewish gangsters. As teenagers, they created the Bugs and Meyer Mob. Lansky served as the brains of the outfit, with Siegel providing the brawn. Siegel was the youngest member of the gang, known as the vilda chaya, yiddish for “wild animal[s],” which engaged in illicit activities like prostitution, gambling, loan sharking, bootlegging and labor racketeering.
In 1937, Bugsy moved his gambling rackets to California, where he befriended Hollywood moguls and starlets, borrowing money from several celebrities whom he never repaid. He dated actress Virginia Hill, an underworld moll herself who helped Bugsy’s bosses back east keep an eye on him. In 1945, Siegel and Hill came to Las Vegas to build a gambling mecca in the Nevada desert, starting with the Flamingo Hotel and Casino, funded by the eastern crime syndicate with $1.5 million.
Unfortunately, after Bugsy ran up debts of some $6 million through theft and mismanagement, all of Lansky’s defenses of his longtime pal proved insufficient to prevent the mob hit ordered by the syndicate. On June 20, 1947, Siegel was shot four times as he sat on a sofa in Hill’s Beverly Hills home while reading the Los Angeles Times.
The mob accelerated the development of the Las Vegas strip of casino hotels and ruled the town for decades until its replacement by corporate management. Famed mobster turned developer Moe Dalitz was given the key to Las Vegas in 1979. Over recent decades Jewish leadership in building Las Vegas included not only the mayors Goodman but also Steve Wynn, the visionary casino creator who was financed by the junk bonds created by investment banker and humanitarian Michael Milken, as well as the developers of the world’s largest hotel, Jewish philanthropists Sheldon and Dr. Miriam Adelson.
Lansky’s life was complex and brutal. His victims must be remembered and respected.
His personal life was marked by the ups and downs of family life; including a son, Paul, who attended the US Military Academy at West Point and then joined the US Air Force and served in Vietnam; and another son, Buddy, who sadly suffered from cerebral palsy. He also had a daughter, Sandi Lansky Lombardo, who grew up with wealth, parties, and private schools, as described in her own autobiography, “Daughter of the King: Growing Up in Gangland.”
Perhaps the most compelling scene in “Lansky” focuses on his attempted emigration to Israel in the early 1970s, where he sought to avoid tax evasion prosecution in the United States by appealing for citizenship under the Law of Return. Denied asylum by Golda Meir, who faced pressure from American authorities, Lansky bitterly recounted that his early support of Israel was not reciprocated at his most critical time of need.
Lansky managed to evade US prosecution, however, and live as a free man to age 80. Through his highs and lows, his fortunes and misfortunes, Lansky appeared at the end of his life as an intelligent and introspective figure. He never changed perspective, holding firm as a “tough Jew” to his motto, “life is shades of grey, not black and white.”
Smiling as he slowly walks into the sunset along the beach in Miami, with the Feds having quit their chase for his never-found (and always denied) remaining riches, Lansky survived and thrived on his own terms. He left a disturbing legacy of inexcusable violence, but endures as a humanized figure of intense fascination for the American public, and not least for American Jewry, whose communal legacy includes several bigtime gangsters with humble Yiddish roots who fought against some of the Jews’ worst enemies.

+—+South Africa Makes its Genocide Case against Israel at The Hague
At a pro-democracy rally denouncing January 6 (because that’s what our politicians still do three years later), Jamie Raskin and his crowd held signs that read “NOT ABOVE THE LAW.” And if you foolishly thought that these signs meant that in a democracy, no one is above the law, you’d be wrong.
Only Jamie Raskin gets to decide that.
When Code Pink’s Medea Benjamin silently stood behind Raskin with a similar sign with just one word added, he had her immediately dragged away. “ISRAEL: NOT ABOVE THE LAW” it read. She learned the hard way that if Jamie Raskin do not pronounce it so, then be it not true.
“The U.S., Israel’s chief sponsor and defender, has dismissed South Africa’s charges as ‘meritless.’ There is a solid, though not certain, likelihood that the court will issue a ruling finding a basis to move forward with actual genocide proceedings against Israel, a legal process that could take years to complete. But South Africa has also argued that the court should issue provisional measures to protect the Palestinians of Gaza against ongoing attacks, citing voluminous evidence that Israel is engaged in ongoing violations of the Genocide Convention. ‘Israel has engaged in, is engaging in and risks further engaging in genocidal acts against the Palestinian people in Gaza,’ the filing argues.”

More Jewish economic pogroms: U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen (Jewish) said on Wednesday that Inflation Reduction Act tax credits will cost more than initially estimated, citing strong demand for clean energy investments.
Yellen said during a visit to Boston to promote the green energy tax credits that the President Joe Biden’s administration will come out with a formal assessment of costs, but declined to name a figure.
Some private forecasters including Goldman (Jewish) Sachs (Jewish) have estimated that the program initially estimated at $369 billion over 10 years would ultimately cost as much as $1 trillion. The White House budget office last July estimated that the clean energy subsidies over 10 years would increase by $120 billion.
Right. So we have ocean inundation, massive water shortages throughout the Southwest, major chronic illnesses plagues, major dying newspapers and college, major housing crisis, major issues with people not having shit to make it to age 70, major mental health crisis, shit for public transportation, and, we pay for these fucking “subsidies”?

“Today, we hit a major milestone in lowering costs and ensuring all Americans have access to quality, affordable health care: a record-breaking 20 million Americans have enrolled in health care coverage through the Affordable Care Act marketplaces,” President Biden said Wednesday. “With six days left to still get covered, 8 million more Americans have signed up for ACA coverage than when I took office.”

In the past decade, many diseases — including HIV/AIDS, Ebola, Zika, and COVID-19 — have originated from animals. Corporate media and right-wing lawmakers have frequently alleged, without evidence, that these zoonotic diseases are the result of supposedly poor hygiene or unsafe cultural practices in the Global South, claims that are based on anti-Asian and anti-African stereotypes. But despite this racist discourse, zoonotic diseases are actually as likely — if not more likely — to spring from commercial factory farms in the U.S., where millions of animals are pushed into close contact with very little government regulation.

Missing? Shit, Bioweapons. Gain of Function. Sure!
Petition two years ago: Gain of Function (GoF) research involves manipulations that make certain pathogenic viruses more or less virulent or transmissible or both. Such research is done by genetically engineering the virus and allowing them to grow in different growth mediums –a technique called serial passage.
Supporters of the GoF research argue that this research is necessary to develop vaccines and therapeutics. Gain of function research help scientists to better predict emerging infectious diseases by “getting ahead of the virus to prevent natural spillovers”.
Proponents of GoF research believe “nature is the ultimate bioterrorist and we need to do all we can to stay one step ahead”.
However, the available published data on the research on genetically modified/ chimeric viruses are a cause for concern. We cannot rule out a future possibility of potential laboratory leaks of any of these viruses. There are documented incidents of laboratory leaks in the past, including dangerous organisms such as smallpox virus, Anthrax bacteria and SARS virus.
History may repeat itself unless we initiate sincere and urgent measures both to prevent such incidents and to prevent the construct of genetically modified viruses that are more virulent or more transmissible than their natural counterparts. SARS-CoV-2 may or may not be the result of GoF research, but the very debate on the subject indicates that the potential for lab manipulations does exist.
Covid-19 pandemic taught us the destructive power of viruses on humanity. Our armamentarium is not big enough to deal with the pandemics created by Mother Nature. In addition to this, we do not want to create a global catastrophe with viruses with GoF that we make.
United Nations must establish a treaty to stop Gain of Function research of all kinds and destroy any existing stockpiles of chimeric viruses if held by any member countries.
“What were they thinking?”
It was the first thought to cross the mind of computational biologist Steven Salzberg after reading about a recent Boston University study that combined strains of the virus that causes COVID-19, creating a form of omicron that is significantly more deadly among mouse test subjects than the form of omicron currently circulating in the U.S.
The study, which caused waves in the media for its creation of a potential “superbug,” also renewed an ongoing debate among scientists about the value of gain-of-function research—studies that artificially enhance a microorganism’s genome to give it advantageous attributes, such as greater transmissibility or virulence. The study’s authors and Boston University argue that the study does not qualify as gain-of-function research, and the U.S. National Institutes of Health is conducting a review of the study documentation to determine if that is indeed the case.
An expert in genomics, Salzberg has studied the genomes of viruses including influenza and SARS-CoV-2, and has written about gain-of-function research in his regular Forbes column since 2014. He says it is clear that the BU study does qualify as gain-of-function research, and, as such, carries tremendous risks. The Hub reached out to Salzberg, the Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of biomedical engineering, computer science, and biostatistics, for his take on the issue and what should be done to curtail the creation of such viruses in the future.
Ahh, the fucking throw-away society with endless trillion$ thrown away for military murder industrial complex fucked up weapons.
Americans are recycling only a fraction of the recyclable materials in their household waste, according to a new report,
The report, from recycling nonprofit The Recycling Partnership, found that U.S. households recycle 21 percent of residential recyclables like paper, cardboard and milk cartons.
On top of this, the report found that 76 percent of these recyclables are lost at the household level, meaning Americans are simply throwing them in the trash.
Ahh, the true throw-away fucking society/MIC: Another three proxy wars to wage: The Air Force awarded Raytheon, an RTX unit, a $345 million contract to build more than 1,500 Small Diameter Bomb II/GBU-53/B munitions—called “StormBreaker” by the company—for the Air Force, Navy, and Foreign Military Sales users, under the 10th production lot. The work is to be completed by August 2028.

Jews in more tunnels? Illegal New York synagogue tunnel leads to 9 arrests The students who built the tunnel were attempting to fulfill a demand by Lubavitch Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson, who had called for the expansion of the house of worship back in 1972. Many Chabad members revere Schneerson as a messiah.
“[Rabbi Schneerson] did express a desire when he was alive that that synagogue, which was running out of space, should undergo an expansion — but a legal and proper expansion through the leadership of Chabad,” Bendet said. “There’s a possibility they misinterpreted that to mean a call to action on their part to take up the shovel, if you will.”
