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.

Congress ratified milei's veto on university funding. Yesterday an increasing number of universities and other educative institutions were taken by their students. I expect them to call for emergency assemblies in the following hours or days to discuss long term actions.
It has to start somewhere.
btw death to "israel"
good luck to you and your comrades. stay as safe as you can while doing what you need to do. praying the trots use this to their advantage well from what you've told me many hopes are riding on them right now.
he did a lot for the revolution, if he had been able to subsume himself to the will of the party he would have done a lot more too. if trots could be a 1/10 as effective as their idol the socialist movement will be a lot better off.
its impossible, trotsky was a constant pain in everyones ass to the point lenin was personally hating on him for most of his time in the bolsheviks and all of his menshevik period. It is trot founding mythos to pretend that trotsky wasnt anything more than a self contradicting. self righteous, and frankly just annoying bastard. The dude joined every opposition bloc no matter how much their views contradicted his previous position, he annoyed frida Kahlo into being a stalinist despite them having an affair before, and famously refused to tip just to be an asshole.
his contrarian splitter followers are just as competent as the renegade trotsky, that being complete failures famous for division
yeah he was a narcissist all i'm saying is he ultimately helped out the revolution a ton even with his flaws and if he hadnt been a narcissist i think he could have continued to help the revolution. I have 0 confidence in trots either but from what our argentinian comrade has said they are literally our only hope there rn. it's not completely impossible, venezuela is trot influenced iirc and while I'm not a super huge fan of them PSL literally used to be trots who now uphold stalin and all the other AES, i think there is a chance (no matter how small) that the trots pull it together in argentina. i cant influence them either way so all i can do is either doom or hope and as my name suggests I'm choosing to hope.
Okay being so annoying that Frida got Stalinpilled is actually based.
Stay safe and remember that fit kids on bicycles can move through urban areas at least as fast as cops and make great scouts for tracking police movements.
