Bulletins and News Discussion from October 7th to October 13th, 2024 - Happy International Paragliding Day!
One year on. Hundreds of thousands are dying or dead, millions are displaced, the Middle East is undergoing its greatest changes in a generation, Iran has directly attacked Israel twice in one year, and Yemen has proven that the US Navy ain't worth shit. We are the closest we have been to nuclear war (discounting accidents) in decades, but also the fall of Israel.
Because one day, the prisoners of a concentration camp paraglided over a wall.

Israel-Palestine Conflict
Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:
UNRWA reports on Israel's destruction and siege of Gaza and the West Bank.
English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account. Alt here.
English-language twitter account that collates news.
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon. - Telegram is @IbnRiad.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis. - Telegram is @EyesOnSouth.
English-language Twitter account in the same group as the previous two. - Telegram here.
English-language PalestineResist telegram channel.
More telegram channels here for those interested.
Russia-Ukraine Conflict
Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Sources:
Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
Simplicius, who publishes on Substack. Like others, his political analysis should be soundly ignored, but his knowledge of weaponry and military strategy is generally quite good.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists' side.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.
Pro-Russian Telegram Channels:
Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.
https://t.me/aleksandr_skif ~ DPR's former Defense Minister and Colonel in the DPR's forces. Russian language.
https://t.me/Slavyangrad ~ A few different pro-Russian people gather frequent content for this channel (~100 posts per day), some socialist, but all socially reactionary. If you can only tolerate using one Russian telegram channel, I would recommend this one.
https://t.me/s/levigodman ~ Does daily update posts.
https://t.me/patricklancasternewstoday ~ Patrick Lancaster's telegram channel.
https://t.me/gonzowarr ~ A big Russian commentator.
https://t.me/rybar ~ One of, if not the, biggest Russian telegram channels focussing on the war out there. Actually quite balanced, maybe even pessimistic about Russia. Produces interesting and useful maps.
https://t.me/epoddubny ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/boris_rozhin ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/mod_russia_en ~ Russian Ministry of Defense. Does daily, if rather bland updates on the number of Ukrainians killed, etc. The figures appear to be approximately accurate; if you want, reduce all numbers by 25% as a 'propaganda tax', if you don't believe them. Does not cover everything, for obvious reasons, and virtually never details Russian losses.
https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses ~ Pro-Russian, documents abuses that Ukraine commits.
Pro-Ukraine Telegram Channels:
Almost every Western media outlet.
https://discord.gg/projectowl ~ Pro-Ukrainian OSINT Discord.
https://t.me/ice_inii ~ Alleged Ukrainian account with a rather cynical take on the entire thing.
You're viewing part of a thread.
I dont disagree it's weird, last time we had this discussion here people were speculating that they just do it because they live in the UK and they're hyper surveilled anyways but that just seems like defeatism anyways, there are ways to combat gait recognition and what not. I'm willing to buy they could be betting on people constantly doing jury nullification even if it's kinda dumb but directly fighting the state like that has historically led to them blowing your brains out when you're in your sleep yet I havent heard any news of mysterious activist deaths in britian, I can't work out what the deal is either because I also dont see a ton of copy cats so it's not like if this is a psyop that it seems to be working to get people to incriminate themselves much
Actually the only person with any sense pointed out that they broadcast occupations where the only way they’re removed is by force (arrest) and that those occupations aren’t the only actions they take. Zed just seems a bit psyop-happy
They just broadcasted their vandalism of the insurers of Elbit Systems where they broke glass and spray painted and nobody there was arrested. Why did they rat on themselves?
I’m asking for facts and you’re asking me hypotheticals. It’s going to take a bit more for me to conclude they’re Feds or puppets
I’m not telling you to conclude they are feds, just to have a reasonable skepticism why they are treated differently and with kid gloves than literally every other group.
I don’t know what other groups you’re talking about, I literally posted here apparently calling out the US version for pointless sectarianism which should bolster the fed argument. I was just asking for facts. When people said PSL was funded by Goldman Sachs, I looked into that and realized it was bullshit. Idk what double standards you’ve seen, but they haven’t come from me.
Treated differently by the British government, not by us.
The British government handles this group with kid gloves and consistently lets them off the hook even though they are blatantly breaking the law and waving it in everyone’s face. Nobody else does that or gets that treatment.
Didn’t people say this about xr or just stop oil?
i think the weirdest part is there havent been assassinations yet or at least I certainly haven't heard about them
Assasinations create martyrs. Much easier to discredit or ignore
Not really. Ferguson leadership were slaughtered en masse and nobody cared
“En masse” there were a half dozen. It was the most obvious since Hampton, but it’s clearly fallen out of favor
but why? it was extremely effective and it's only been 10 years since then, what changed?
It wasn’t extremely effective, the movement died, was reborn, and died again for many other reasons than a handful of killings. There wasn’t enough leadership to decapitate
Leadership was half decapitated, half coopted by democrats. Those who wouldn’t sell out got offed or jailed. This is how the democrats killed Ferguson and the 2020 protests successfully
