Bulletins and News Discussion from October 7th to October 13th, 2024 - Happy International Paragliding Day!

Harris has now revisited her answer on the View about whether she would do anything differently than Joe Biden, saying there is one way she would change things up.

“I plan on having a Republican in my cabinet,” Harris said, repeating a promise she has made before. “You asked me, what’s the difference between Joe Biden and me. Well, that will be one of the differences. I’m going to have a Republican because I don’t, I don’t feel burdened by letting pride get in the way of a good idea."

"Trump and the Republicans want a christo-fascist ethnostate. Vote for me so we can have a bipartisan fascist ethnostate"

I saw a comment on the TrueAnon sub that said “if any of you youngsters are around in 50 years when the U.S. admits it blew up the Nordstream, let them know we knew.”

We’re basically at this point with the Iraq weapons of mass destruction narrative. I marched; we knew. The lib friend I marched with doesn’t give a shit anymore. (He’s wealthy.)

The 2k ton bombs that Israel dropped on Lebanon were made by the US. US bombs killed Hassan Nasrallah. I don’t see the distinction between the US funding and making the weapons for the genocide(s) (and probably (definitely?) having US troops in IOF) versus having an actually declared war against Palestine/Lebanon/etc (which the US doesn’t even do anymore anyway).

My University held a student's assembly today and decided: The University is now taken and partially managed by it's students until Wednesday, when the action will be temporarily suspended because we will hold a protest. However, if the Argentinian Congress fails to overturn milei's veto on education funding, a new assembly will be celebrated to decide on the next action. An indefinite occupation of the premises is not out of the question. We joined our efforts with the Faculty of Psychology of the University of Buenos Aires and other institutions that have carried out similar actions. This can become a big snowball very quickly.

Wherever this ends, it's valuable experience. Even if we don't achieve political victories, let it be known that we can work together and we can act in solidarity with one another. That's a big win, because we can find the ways to transform the material reality in capitalism, and that is, to me, the way to bring it down.

"People are sick of the bullshit in here."

Reporter @cosgrove_iv confronts Matt Miller on U.S. foreign policy: You're risking nuclear war while financing genocide—people are sick of the bullshit!

"So my question for you is you know we often hear in response to these concerns that while Putin, Khomeini, you know they're terrorists as if they're too inherently evil or immoral for us to negotiate with. But meanwhile, this administration has financed a genocide in Gaza for the last year, and every day you're up there denying accountability for it."

rewatching vids of oct 7 reminded me of something I was thinking when it happened. Hamas was putting video out within a few hours of Al-Aqsa Flood start and I suspect they had crews on motorcycles collecting go-pro sd cards and porting them back into Gaza where Hamas propaganda warriors would edit and upload almost in real time. Like it wasn't just an add-on but a significant part of the operation. They were putting out video, info graphics and other related stuff in order to dominate the narrative as soon as possible. This might be the first time the term 'keyboard warrior' was a real thing and they were likely targeted by IOF in the subsequent bombing campaign. o7 to all the people behind the line.

Reuters moment

What do I do with this heart-wrentching sick and rage I feel as I move about the world? Everyone going about their business as if we're not actively and in real-time, complicit in a genocide? It's surreal. It's bewildering.

'Prepare for post-Hezbollah phase' US envoy tells Lebanon as Israeli massacres intensify | The Cradle

US Ambassador to Lebanon Lisa Johnson has asked political forces in the country to “prepare for the post-Hezbollah phase, where its control over the state and its institutions and the state’s border crossings is no longer permitted.” Al-Akhbar reported on 11 October.

She reiterated that “Hezbollah has become very weak after the strikes that were directed at it, targeting its leaders and killing its Secretary-General, and therefore, it can no longer impose what it wants, and there is a new political phase that the country will witness soon in which the party has no place.”

delusional. they are still sticking to this deranged fantasy that killing Nasrallah (and 600 bystanders) somehow made Hezbollah a fraction of its former self. hard to believe this is purely cynical, feels like it could be that syndrome where the failsons running the show have fallen for all the previous generation's propaganda

In Finland news the government is going to privatize water next

Mondoweiss: ‘A time of painful birth and major transformation’: a senior Hamas leader reflects on October 7 and its aftermath

An interview with senior Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzouk. Some selected quotes and commentary:

The October 7th operation halted Israel’s project of regional dominance after it was shattered by just a few hundred Al-Qassam fighters. Israel can no longer claim that it protects the region and the Gulf against Iran, and thus all efforts to integrate it into the region have failed as a result of this operation.

I think this speaks to the fact that KSA and Israel were closing in on a deal for official recognition. But it’s deeper than just diplomatic ties. Israel wants to be “integrated” (I think more like, “in charge”) in with neighbors like KSA, Jordan and Egypt. Diplomatic, military, and economic integration - again, I don’t think Israel has equality in mind, though. That would have been horrible for the Palestinians, and that project is now dead in the water and likely will be for some time.

As for the goals set by Hamas, they have been solidified on the ground, and the national project is now closer to realization, while the Zionist project is further from execution, despite the balance of power and the American support for Israel.

Yes I get that a senior Hamas leader will probably say this regardless but it’s still nice to hear, and I also happen to think this jives with the reality on the ground.

After every setback for the national movement and resistance, the people produced new elements to confront the Zionist movement. After the 1927 revolution came the 1936 revolution. Thirty-six years later, there was the 1947 war, followed by the fedayeen operations, then the formation of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Palestinian Liberation Army. After 1984 and PLO’s exit from Lebanon, the First Intifada started in 1987, then the second in 2000, followed by wars in 2008, 2012, 2014, and 2021.

This is very dialectical.

We extend our appreciation to the international solidarity movement with Palestine for their humanity and their efforts in confronting war criminals, despite the daily pressures they face. The situation even reached the point where American pilot Aaron Bushnell set himself on fire in protest against Israel’s genocide and the Biden administration’s stance on the war. We, along with our people, are deeply grateful to him and his family, as well as to all the free individuals standing in solidarity with our cause.

The Resistance frequently harkens back to Aaron Bushnell, I think he would be proud to know what his sacrifice meant to them.

And there's nothing they can do about it, it's an inherent flaw of colonial regimes.

death to "israel"

New info on the Nord Stream bombing just came out from the Danish paper Politiken, stating that the harbor master of Christiansø island (Near Bornholm) thought some ships needed rescue as their radios were off, and was turned away by the US military when approached.

Here is the original article in Danish.

https://archive.ph/sekds

For the first few days, the harbor master said he was ‘not allowed to say a thing.’ But today, John Anker Nielsen can reveal that four or five days before the Nord Stream blasts, he was out with the rescue service on Christiansø, because there were some ships with switched-off radios [transponders]. They turned out to be American naval vessels, and when the rescue service approached, they were told by Naval Command to turn back.

The Americans have these small unmanned submarines that can solve any task, John Anker Nielsen has been told. The harbor master’s family has lived on Christiansø for seven generations, and he knows all about the weather and wind conditions in the Baltic Sea. Against this background, he doesn’t give much credence to the theory of a yacht and some Ukrainians diving down to 80 meters

Interestingly, it corroborates what MoA was saying as far back as February 9, 2023 as he corrected Hersh's specifics, which were inaccurate when talking about the timing window. This was days after Hersh's article. Hersh said the bombs were planted months in advance at some NATO exercise, MoA pointed out this was unlikely for various reasons and instead the bombs were planted there by US navy vessels a few days before the blast with transponders turned off. He was exactly correct.

It is unlikely that the explosives were put out while the yearly BALTOPS exercise was still ongoing... The whole exercise took only 12 days. A lot of nations took part. Submarines were involved. The Russian's were around watching what was happening. (They like also had submarines in the wider area.)

Those are not good conditions to do a lot of secret underwater work. It was much easier to do this later, when everyone had turned back to port. The U.S. ships though did not sail home. They stayed around, did some harbor visits and eventually settled down near the island of Bornholm a few miles away from the pipelines where they started to do their work.

To blow such pipelines takes a lot more than just putting a few pounds of C4 explosives on top of them. The pipelines had first to be dug out, must likely with pressurized water. Next explosives had to be placed all around them. Then a trigger mechanism of some kind had to be deployed and fixed on to them. Lastly the explosive laden section would have to be reburied to prevent detection or unforeseen entanglement with some external elements. All this had to be done at least four times. If I had planned the operation I probably would have gone for a total of eight explosive packages.

The whole process takes time. Unmanned submarine like vehicles were needed to carry the hundreds of kilograms of explosives and equipment. Diving time at that depth is not unlimited and there must have been a few crew changes. It probably took three to four weeks to fix the whole issue.

The USS Kearsarge was much longer in the Baltic Sea than Hersh presumes. The explosives were put down sometime between the end of BALTOPS on June 17 and September 22, the date the USS Kearsarge passed Fehmarn to leave the Baltic Sea.

That window was not [extended] by months between the end of BALTOPS and the explosions but by a mere few days between somewhat around September 20 when the Kearsarge went on its way back home and September 27 when the pipelines exploded.

The Kearsarge was likely selected for purpose. The ship has a well deck, which opens to the sea through huge gates in the ship's stern. There, the cargo, troops and vehicles are loaded onto landing craft for transit to the beach. The air cushion landing craft can "fly" out of the dry well deck, or the well deck can be flooded so that conventional landing craft can float out on their way to the beach.

Usually the Kearsarge would be a too big missile target to be in the Baltic Sea. But the well deck comes in handy when one wants to test new underwater equipment or put explosives around pipelines:

In support of BALTOPS, U.S. Navy 6th Fleet partnered with U.S. Navy research and warfare centers to bring the latest advancements in unmanned underwater vehicle mine hunting technology to the Baltic Sea to demonstrate the vehicle’s effectiveness in operational scenarios.

https://www.moonofalabama.org/2023/02/some-small-corrections-to-seymour-hershs-new-nord-stream-revelations.html

Christiansø is basically right on top of Bornholm. MoA got the motive, the suspect, the location, the timeline all correct - more correct than Hersh and all his CIA contacts who only got the suspect and motive correct. I realize he's since become controversial for some boomer takes, but there's a reason we still read and link to him. He knows what the fuck he's talking about when it comes to NATO navies and armies. He had already unearthed most of this 2 days after the bombings, and Hersh took nearly 5 months to put out a less accurate version of what b just sleuthed out from knowing about NATO navies.

Death sentence’: Asbestos released by Israel’s bombs will kill generations

drops another bipartisanship bomb:

Harris Says She Would Form Bipartisan Council of Advisers

At a campaign event geared toward Republican supporters in Scottsdale, Ariz., Ms. Harris said the council would be an attempt to “put some structure” around policy discussions that reach across the aisle.

“Wherever they come from, I love good ideas,” she said at the Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale. “We have to have a healthy two-party system.”

So, for those who don't know, Paraguay has really close relation with Israel. Paraguay has been ruled by the conservative Colorado party (They are mostly Conservative, Neoliberal and Pro-Taiwan. There are some socdems inside the party though, these were part of the anti-Stroessner guerrilas) since the 1950's, with exception of a brief period in the late 2000's, early 2010's where the Liberals (Sometimes called the Blue Party, they are the Pro-PRC Socdems/Liberals) and Leftist actually won the elections with help from moderate and socdem Colorado politicians.

During the brutal far-right dictatorship of Alfredo Stroessner, Israel, under the goverment of Golda Meir, approved a plan to pay for 60,000 Palestinians to leave Gaza and go to Paraguay, where they would be used practically as slave labor. The Paraguayan regime saw the Palestinians as ideal immigrants, as they thought were not inclined towards communism because they were muslims.

Only 30 Palestinians immigrated to Paraguay as part of it, and they soon became impoverished. Two of them came to the Israeli embassy in Asuncion to claim money they claimed had not been paid to them, shot the embassy secretary to death because they thought she was calling the police, and wounded another employee.

During the trial, the two claimed that they were lured to immigrate from Gaza to Paraguay, and that they were promised that Israel would help them find a job and learn Spanish. They set off after receiving travel documents, $25 pocket money and plane tickets from Israel via London and Rio de Janeiro. In Paraguay they discovered that they had been misled and the promises made to them were not fulfilled.

The Israeli government placed the blame on Fatah members , but the organization denied involvement. The entire deal was eventually canceled.

Mass-murdering war criminal Barack Obama compares Trump to Commander Fidel Castro

He said that black men are inventing all kinds of reasons and excuses not to vote for Kamala. “Because part of it makes me think, part of it makes me think that, well, you're just not feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you're inventing other alternatives and other reasons for it.”

“The women in our lives have been supporting us all this time. When we have problems and the system isn't working for us, they're the ones out there marching and protesting. And now, you're thinking of standing aside or supporting someone who has a history of denigrating you, because you think that's a sign of strength, because that's what it is to be a man? Putting women down? That's not acceptable.”

Obama compares Trump's speeches to those of Fidel Castro during a Democratic rally. The reaction has not sat well with many, who have reminded the former American president of his history of rapprochement with the Cuban government.

With sarcasm and laughter, Obama described Trump as a 78-year-old narcissistic and boastful multimillionaire who has not stopped "complaining" since he launched his first campaign in June 2015. "You have the tweets in uppercase. The ramblings and diatribes about crazy conspiracy theories. You have the two-hour speeches, the word salad. Simply... it's like Fidel Castro, over and over again," he said.

"Constant attempts to sell you things: Selling you gold sneakers and a 100,000-dollar watch and, more recently, a Trump Bible," he added in reference to the Republican candidate’s attempts to profit economically from his image.

"If anyone cared about what Obama says, Hillary Clinton would've been president," said Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt.

This is all another scheme to justify tightening the siege of Yemen. Noteworthy that they are claiming deliveries into the port of Hodeidah (the main port the atlanto-zionists have been bombing).

Saw the Bill Maher video. With each day that passes they get more confident in showing themselves being proud genocide supporters, without an ounce of shame.

However, with each day that passes violence against them also becomes more and more likely and morally acceptable, it is completely justified. They think they're safe saying and doing all that, they think this is the 1990s where you could say whatever the fuck you want and fear no retribution. But little do they know, the world they built (that runs on blood), the system they desperately hold onto, is slowly fading away and a new one will be born. A pathetic zionist like Maher might escape the swift act of Justice, but the genocidal system he helped build and maintain will not.

Never forget who they are and what they did in our times. Memory is important if we want to build a future for ourselves. They've exposed themselves, they've shown their true self, now we must do our part and remember them for when our time comes...

whatever happens today, I hope that it is in service of a world where innocents are not slaughtered, and Israel in its current form has been either humbled or annihilated. but right now, the dogs of war are hungry. and one way or another, they will sate themselves.

Treasury asking ministers to draw up billions of pounds of infrastructure cuts

Ministers are being asked to draw up billions of pounds in cuts to infrastructure projects over the next 18 months despite Rachel Reeves pledging to invest more to grow the economy, the Guardian has learned.

Members of the cabinet have been asked to model cuts to their investment plans of up to 10% of their annual capital spending as part of this month’s spending review, government sources said.

The demands would mean big projects such as hospital improvements, road building and defence projects being slowed down or stopped altogether as the government looks for ways to repair what they say is a £22bn black hole in the public finances.

Economists warn that such cuts to capital spending could end up damaging the economy and Britain’s creaking public infrastructure.

It’s never been more over for the Euros:

Germany expects economy to shrink after cutting 2024 forecast

Germany is facing its first two-year recession since the early 2000s, as the government downgraded its growth forecast for 2024, predicting a contraction of 0.2 per cent.

“The situation is not satisfactory,” Robert Habeck, economy minister, said on Wednesday. “Since 2018, the German economy has not been growing strongly any more.”

Just a few months ago he had forecast the economy would grow by 0.3 per cent this year.

Germany has been battered by high interest rates, inflation and an increasingly uncertain geopolitical environment, which has suppressed consumer demand and investment activity.

Some companies, complaining of high labour and energy costs, a big tax burden and political turbulence, are considering locating some of their production to cheaper countries.

At the same time, consumer spending remains depressed, despite an increase in real wages and falling inflation. The government’s earlier forecast had expected a more robust rebound in consumer demand.

Political instability is also taking its toll on sentiment. Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s three-party coalition is riven by policy conflicts and the rise of populist parties on the far right and far left is undermining business confidence.

Incredible how ideological entrenchment (neoliberalism) + a currency war from the US (Ukraine war) accelerated the destruction of the future of the UK and continental Europe in just a few short years.

Europeans who have been laughing at how Americans don’t have healthcare and social welfare are going to have to seriously think about migrating there over the next decade and get used to what it feels like to live without basic welfare guarantees.

Obama chastises "the brothers" for not being enthusiastic about . It's ummm HER turn!

Article

FORMER PRESIDENT OBAMA: My understanding, based on reports I’m getting from campaigns and communities, is that we have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all quarters of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running. I also want to say that that seems to be more pronounced with the brothers. So if you don't mind, just for a second, I'm going to speak to y'all and say that when you have a choice that is this clean.

On the one hand, you have somebody who grew up like you, knows you, went to college with you, understands the struggles and pain and joy that comes from those experience... You have someone who has consistently shown disregard, not just for the communities, but for you as a person And you are thinking about sitting out?

And you’re coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses, I’ve got a problem with that. Because part of it makes me think— and I’m speaking to men directly— part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that

Women in our lives have been getting our backs this entire time... When we get in trouble and the system isn’t working for us, they’re the ones out there marching and protesting. And now, you’re thinking about sitting out or supporting somebody who has a history of denigrating you, because you think that’s a sign of strength, because that’s what being a man is? Putting women down? That’s not acceptable.

Controversial opinion: the US should nuke the hurricane but only when it is smack in the middle of florida

Beautiful introduction to the discussion.

I would like to remind everyone of donating directly to the families in Gaza. Many, many of them have GoFundMe and similar campaigns where they ask us for help. They need money. Try to imagine being starved and trying to run for your life. Sick, injured and on top of that starved and to be under constant bombing running for your life or what's left of it. Money we send them is used for basic necessities us free people (as resistance calls us) don't even think about. So please, please, consider "adopting" a family and help them survive this hell.

There's a lot of discussion on how they even receive that money. They do, through merchants (war dogs) who have the cash, so they're also a money exchange, since they receive it from the sender (usually campaign organizer) on their bank account and pay out cash to the receivers, with very high provisions, 15-30%.

Aid by organisations, unfortunately, get stuck. I don't even want to go into the depths of corruption during the war, but every war is like that, brings out the worse in those who can use the situation to their benefit. Also, let's not forget that the criminal IOF is attacking aid trucks. A lot of Gazans told me most of the aid just doesn't come through. That's why direct donations are the best way to help.

I've just sent an eSIM to these kids https://youtube.com/@ahmed-and-mahmoud-days, so, where is a will, there's a way.

Hope you will join many of us and donate.

It seems Iran is finally realising that it's in their best interest to get the nuke

☢️|🇮🇷 More details about the letter from 39 MPs to the national security council (SNSC).

The letter called for a revision of Iran’s defensive doctrine and requested permission and resources to develop nuclear weapons.

Hasan Akhlaqi Amiri, an Iranian MP & signee of the letter, explained: "Today, no international organization or even the so-called European and American countries can control the Zionist regime, as this illegitimate regime commits any crime it wishes. Based on this, around 39 members of parliament wrote and signed a letter addressed to the SNSC, requesting that the defensive doctrine of the Islamic Republic of Iran be reconsidered."

Amiri, referring to the Leader's fatwa declaring nuclear weapons forbidden, which serves as the defensive doctrine of the Islamic Republic, said:

"The Leader's fatwa remains valid, however in the jurisprudence of Shia Islam, time and place play a role in changing rulings, and secondary rulings can replace primary rulings [in time of need].”

Democrats to Republicans: please baby let us be together. You want to kill black people, queer people and immigrants and enslave woman? We could do that together. I could even get a swastika tattoo on my forehead for you. I love you baby please don't leave me every second we spend apart feels like pure agony and torture

Regarding iof shooting UNIFIL positions:

If Trump is smart (he isnt) he should claim Biden left the people of florida to die after Milton hits, like say he could have movilize the national guard to evacuate people and refuse because they became a red state and voted for him last election.

some republicans have already circulated the story that Biden is sending al relief money to illegal immigrant or ukraine, but i think if they go with the "Biden is punishing florida" angle is going to be more efective plus it helps that Biden really didnt move a finger to reduce the damage

Amazing. The Dems have moved past ignoring and laughing. Now they believe the attacks on the Green Party are worth giving it the publicity.

Today the DNC is releasing its first-ever ad focused on third-party candidates.

Trump “likes” that Jill Stein is in this race—because Jill Stein can’t win, but she can help Trump win.

https://nitter.poast.org/IsraelRadar_com/status/1845154626884280656

I've seen a lot of articles and youtube videos about how this war triggered Israel's death throes, and the parallels between Israel and apartheid South Africa & Rhodesia, but those media which highlighted the internal contradictions of Israel, its collapsing economy and international standing, often overlook how desperate the US is to have a satellite state in the West Asia enough to brazenly establish its support for Israel.

All this, despite the damage to US prestige and diplomatic credibility (notwithstanding that the US state does not nor needs to care about internal dissident or crisis) because the US can brute force its support and suffer little to no economic or political repercussions.

Israel is a nuclear powered state with very powerful supporters in the US and Europe, as part of a symbiotic relationship these powers have with each other, to ensure the economic and political dominance of the larger political community known as the "West".

My larger concern is what Norman Finkelstein has been saying recently: Israel has defeated Hamas in Gaza by destroying Gaza itself. Therefore, the probability that Israel has the power and support needed to enact its depraved agenda of ethnic cleansing and genocide, and survive its repercussions on the world stage for a decade before it goes back to the status quo of pre October 7th, is a very plausible future.

Israel has managed to pursue this for over a year now.

"... A struggle for the economic liberation of the South is fundamentally antithetical to the capitalist world economy, because accumulation in the [imperial] core depends utterly on the cheapening of labour and resources in the South. [...] So any attempt by liberation struggles in the periphery to achieve economic independence - to use their own resources for their own development, for their own ecological transitions, for their own human needs - is destabilizing for capital in the core, and capital reacts with the most extraordinary violent backlashes. [...] The situation in Palestine, we have to understand, is not primarily a moral one. That's how we think of it. That is not how capital thinks of it. For them it is a matter of suppressing and crushing liberation movements, because a liberated Palestine means a liberated Middle East. A liberated Middle East means capitalism in the core really faces a crisis, and they will not let that happen. And they're unleashing the full violence of their extraordinary power to ensure it doesn't."

How Might Iran React to a Major Israeli Attack?
https://xcancel.com/SinaToossi/status/1843368522224685197

Iranian officials, media, and analysts close to the government have been signaling potential responses to an Israeli strike on Iran.

They are heavily emphasizing Israel's small size and its vulnerable critical infrastructure, such as oil and gas fields, power plants, refineries, desalination facilities, and the Dimona nuclear reactor.

The message they intend to signal is clear: if Israel targets key Iranian infrastructure like its oil facilities, Iran will retaliate in kind, potentially crippling Israel's economy.

For example, one Iranian analyst highlighted the following energy vulnerabilities in Israel:

🔻"Oil and gas contribute approximately 39% and 42%, respectively, to Israel's energy mix, with more than 80% of its total energy supplied by a few key facilities, making the regime vulnerable to military attacks.

🔻"In 2023, Israel imported 225,000 barrels of oil per day, 60% of which came from Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan. The imported oil is processed at two refineries: Haifa and Ashdod.

🔻"Israel’s gas production and consumption in 2023 were 23.5 and 12.6 billion cubic meters, respectively, with surplus gas exported to Egypt and Jordan. The regime’s gas production is heavily reliant on the Leviathan and Tamar fields, which contribute equally.

🔻"Israel’s gas infrastructure is so vulnerable that the destruction of a single gas field would halt its exports to Egypt and Jordan. If both fields were destroyed, 42% of Israel’s total energy supply would be eliminated."

There is also much more open talk of potential nuclear breakout in Iran currently.

Notably, Hassan Khomeini, the grandson of the Islamic Republic's founder Ayatollah Khomeini, and a figure known for his moderate and pragmatic stance, recently suggested that Iran may need to build a nuclear weapon while simultaneously expressing support for negotiations.

Meanwhile, Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei, during a his Friday prayer sermon, stated that Iran's October 1 missile strike was the "minimum" of its capabilities to “punish” Israel.

Concurrently, Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi has been traveling the region, continuing to push for a ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon and call for de-escalation.

All this is to say, Iran is clearly preparing for various scenarios.

If Israel responds with significant force, particularly targeting Iranian infrastructure, Iran is likely to counter-escalate proportionally, potentially spiraling the situation into full-scale war.

However, if Israel's response is more measured and largely superficial—amplified in the media to manage Israeli public perception—escalation might be avoided, at least temporarily.

Nonetheless, tensions are unlikely to fully subside until the wars in Gaza and Lebanon reach a conclusion.

After Elon Musk backed down and agreed to comply with Brazilian law, the Supreme Court has decided to follow the Attorney General's advice and unblock X.

The Cradle: US arms dealers witness 'record profits' from Israel's year-long genocide in Gaza, war on Lebanon

Lockheed Martin, makers of the F-35 aircraft that Israel has used to relentlessly bomb Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen, produced a 54.86 percent total return from 7 October 2023 to the same date in 2024, outperforming S&P 500 by about 18 percent.

RTX, the makers of 2,000-pound 'bunker buster' bombs that turned most of Gaza to rubble and are currently being dropped inside the Lebanese capital, saw its total return for investors in the past year reach 82.69 percent, outperforming S&P 500 by about 46 percent.

General Dynamics, which also manufactures bunker busters and is behind the BLU-109 bombs that Israel used to level several apartment buildings in the southern suburbs of Beirut during the assassination of Hezbollah secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah, delivered a 37 percent total return for investors, outperforming the S&P 500 by just over 3 percent.

The Left Alliance is voicing opposition to this, stating that there has been no discussions about this in parliament. Failing to aknowledge for the fact that they themselves voted for Finland to join NATO knowing fully well that this would follow.

But to uphold the mask of some kind of left politics they've put up a stern post critizining this move, a post that of course changes nothing. Link in Finnish.

Even Norway does not take part in these, but Finland is now speedrunning imperialism as the local bourge has finally been able to seal the deal on NATO after almost a century of propaganda. Nothing is being discussed in public or if it is, it's all glorifying american imperialism. Making Donald Duck the go to reading material for kids in Finland really paid of for the fascists.

Worst U.S. whooping cough outbreak in a decade has infected thousands

In a story on the Ukraine - Russia front that was missed with everything going on in the Middle East, video has emerged of a Russian stealth 5th generation Su-57 fighter jet shooting down its own friendly partnered S-70 stealth drone at high altitude, after it lost control of the drone, to prevent technology from the drone falling into enemy hands. This occurred relatively deep inside Ukrainian territory, around the city of Kostiantynivka in the Donetsk Oblast. Videos emerged of some of the wreckage of the S-70 drone on the ground.

While it is obviously not good that Russia lost one of their handful of stealth partner drones, this incident reveals some key information and battlefield firsts. Russia, now with visual evidence, has become the first nation to deploy 5th generation stealth aircraft over highly contested enemy airspace. The stealth capabilities of the Su-57 are very real. It went undetected by Ukrainian air defence systems, including the US manufactured Patriot system, and the remaining Soviet/Russian S-300 systems Ukraine has, while over 20km inside Ukrainian airspace (when measured at the frontlines of the conflict, much further inside Ukraine if measured from 1991 borders) at high altitudes that these systems should have no issue covering. Western copium about the Su-57 not being a true 5th generation stealth aircraft, based off of images of outdated prototypes, has now been disproven by actual evidence.

This also really brings to the forefront two other realities: Ukraine's air defence is very degraded, and Russian commanders are confident that the Su-57s stealth capabilities are enough to carry out deep strikes without being detected with regards the current state of Ukrainian air defence. I have already talked about the stealth one two punch that the Su-57 offers with its stealth cruise missiles in the Kh-69 before, and how this enables Russia to effectively extend the range of these cruise missiles and strike deep inside Ukrainian territory. The most obvious example of this has been the strikes against energy infrastructure using the Kh-69 cruise missile.

Editing to say: Key takeaways from this? Ukraine should be very glad that Russia only have a handful of Su-57 aircraft and S-70 drones, if they had the same amount of these aircraft as the USA has F-22s, the aerial campaign against Ukraine would look very different. Secondly, Iran should be worried about their air defence capabilities against stealth aircraft. The backbone of Iran's air defence is the Russian S-300PMU2 system (NATO name: SA-20B), and locally produced variants of it. We already know that Israeli stealth aircraft in the US made F-35 can bypass the Syrian S-300PM (NATO name: SA-10B) air defence systems with some effort, but still with relative ease. With Iran currently having the most advanced S-300 systems, even more advanced than the S-300PMU (NATO name: SA-10C) systems Ukraine has, some might think that they would do better against stealth aircraft. But that is quite a gamble to take when a lot of the radar technology in the more advanced variant of the system Iran has is simply an evolution of older systems, systems which have now proven to be incapable of detecting both Russian and US made stealth aircraft. Iran ideally S-400 systems soon to adequately deter the stealth threat.

Hezb statement

🟡| Statement issued by Hezbollah’s Operations Room:

• We had previously warned that the Israeli enemy's continued aggression against our noble people in all parts of resilient Lebanon would make Haifa and beyond, for the resistance's missiles and drones, equivalent to Kiryat Shmona, Metula, and other border settlements with Lebanon. We accompanied this warning with information gathered by our drones, "Al-Hudhud," regarding "sensitive" Israeli military targets and "vital" Israeli facilities in occupied Palestine, especially in the occupied city of Haifa. We also assured this enemy that the Islamic Resistance sees and hears where they do not expect.

• The Israeli enemy wagered that the Islamic Resistance would not be able to carry out its threat after their despicable security operations and the assassination of our honored leaders, foremost among them our most revered martyr, His Eminence, Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah (may his soul rest in peace). Ignoring our warnings, they continued their aggression against our noble people and committed the most heinous massacres against women and children, particularly in Beirut and the southern suburbs.

• In response to all of this, the decision of the Islamic Resistance leadership was to discipline this enemy and show a fraction of what it is capable of, at any time and place of its choosing, whether secretly or openly. The target was one of the training camps of the elite Golani Brigade in Binyamina, south of occupied Haifa, a location unknown to many settlers.

• In a sophisticated and complex operation, the Islamic Resistance's missile forces launched dozens of rockets towards various targets in the areas of Nahariya and Akka to engage the Israeli air defense systems. Simultaneously, the Islamic Resistance's air force launched swarms of various drones, some of which were used for the first time, towards different areas in Akka and Haifa. These advanced drones successfully penetrated the Israeli air defense radars without detection and reached their target at the training camp of the elite Golani Brigade in Binyamina, south of occupied Haifa. They exploded in rooms where dozens of Israeli officers and soldiers were gathered, preparing to participate in the aggression against Lebanon, including senior officers, resulting in many casualties.

• The Islamic Resistance pledges to the most honorable and pure people that it will remain their protective shield and will not allow this cowardly enemy to isolate them. It renews its promise to its most revered martyr that it will continue to defend the beloved land of Lebanon according to the field plans that were personally overseen by him and the martyred leaders. The enemy is warned that what they witnessed today in southern Haifa is only a glimpse of what awaits them if they decide to continue their aggression against our proud and noble people.

By KTimes Han Kang, the first Korean to win the Nobel Prize in literature, has declined to hold a press conference, citing the global tragedies of the Ukraine-Russia war and the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Her father, the renowned novelist Han Seung-won, 85, conveyed her message during a press conference at the Han Seung-won Literary School in Jangheung, South Jeolla Province.

"(Han Kang) told me, 'With the war intensifying and people being carried out dead every day, how can we have a celebration or a press conference?' She said she won't hold a press conference," he said.

After the Nobel Prize in literature was announced on Thursday evening, Han Seung-won spoke with his daughter and advised her to select a publishing house to hold a press conference.

Initially, she agreed, saying she would "give it a try," but changed her mind overnight.

"Her perspective has shifted from being a writer living in Korea to a global (writer's) consciousness. I, however, could not shake off the feeling of being the father of a prizewinner living in Korea, so I ended up arranging this press conference," he said.

Han Kang also discouraged her father from holding a celebratory banquet at the literary school.

Her father said, "I was planning to throw a party here for the local people, but my daughter told me not to do it. She said, 'Please don't celebrate while witnessing these tragic events (referring to the two wars). The Swedish Academy didn't give me this award for us to enjoy, but to stay more clear-headed.' After hearing that, I was deeply troubled."

Novelist Han Seung-won, father of Han Kang, meets with reporters in Anyang-myeon, Jangheung County, South Jeolla Province, to share his daughter's reaction to winning the Nobel Prize in literature, Friday.

After receiving news of her award in a phone call with the Nobel committee on Thursday, Han Kang expressed that she was "very surprised and honored," but has not made any further statements.

Multiple publishing houses, including Changbi Publishers, which published her notable novels "Human Acts" (2014) and "The Vegetarian" (2007), and Munhakdongne Publishing, which published her poetry collection and novel "The Wind Is Blowing" (2010), had suggested holding a press conference, but as of Friday afternoon, she had not responded.

▪️The israeli occupation military is enacting a plan that will effectively ethnically cleanse the Palestinian population in northern Gaza after a siege that could last months.

▪️Conceived by retired israeli Major-General Giora Eiland, the plan aims to empty northern Gaza of its 400,000 residents to make way for a “closed military zone.”

▪️The plan calls for the ethnic cleansing of northern Gaza, warning that those that remain will face starvation.

▪️"The right thing to do is to inform the approximately 300,000 residents who remained in the northern Gaza Strip… we are ordering you to leave," Eiland said last month.

▪️"In a week, the entire territory of the northern Gaza Strip will become military territory."

Been looking at the Spanish press (through Google news mostly) looking to see if any newspaper or online news brought the attack to the F-35 Teledyne clean room in UK, and I've found NOTHING. Only a Spanish project called SpanishRevolution has given the news as far as ive seen. Two idiots from GreenPeace will pour half a can of soup on the glass in front of a painting and it becomes worldwide news, but real acts of activism such as hurting the factory of weapons that are currently used to genocide children, are consistently silenced. Insane that people pretend we live in countries with freedom of press.

If you think about it, the US believes that they live in a Dark Forest universe. They truly believe that they have to annihilate their opponents before these emerging states/powers surpass their own technologically and escape their sphere of influence.

I am seriously starting to believe that this is the reason Obama likes the Three Body Problem series so much, while taking the wrong lessons from the books, which was a cautionary tale about how the most “rational” belief of destroying your opponents before they have the capacity to do it against you may let you overpower them in the short run, but ultimately lead to the mutually assured destruction of our world. It emphasized that a bit of irrationality, naivety and delusional about our opponents are sometimes needed to put a stop into this chain of madness.

We’ve been very lucky that Putin, who is in control of thousands of nukes enough to blow up the world several times, does not see the world in the same Dark Forest state as the US does. Putin is naive and even delusional about a rapprochement with an imperialist West for years, and yet it was exactly this attitude that kept the peace for as long as we have (even with the war in Ukraine, there is a lot of restraint from escalating further).

Gonna be real here and assume we are not going to be the winners, but the fact that one of our biggest cities, with one of the major ports of Europe, came this close to a red mayor is noticable in and of itself.

The campain the nationalists set up was fucking dumb tho. Going all in on the European tradition of xenophobia, islamophobia more specifically. "They go and get their votes at mosques! They praise the Taliban!". Our sitting mayor also said that the workers' party's position that headscarfs and other religious symbols should be allowed in public positions is 'apartheid' (all while being a vocal supporter of the zionist entity)!

From UNIFIL on X, posted a few minutes ago after the IOF attacked them:

Despite putting on protective masks, fifteen peacekeepers suffered effects, including skin irritation and gastrointestinal reactions, after the smoke entered the camp. The peacekeepers are receiving treatment.

What even is America's interest in keeping Cuba starved? Is it afraid of having a communist country that close?

Some news from the Lebanon and Kursk fronts.

Is Israel just taking out its impotency on the civilians of Palestine and Lebanon? Because they damn sure haven’t eliminated Hamas or Hezbollah

For context, Al Jazeera war crimes documentary. Sick to my stomach, everyone involved deserves Nuremberg https://youtu.be/kPE6vbKix6A

Hilarious how they keep cutting to the British guy who says “destroying civilian possessions and doing [REDACTED] in prisons is against international law”

Unimportant, but this also confirms the stereotype of Israelis having shitty music taste, we get big room “may your village burn” and psytrance blowing up houses

Don’t watch the doc if you don’t want your whole day ruined
