Nous arrivons à ce point de bascule inimaginable où les gens épris des valeurs de gauche (libertés, émancipation, mérite, progrès, rationalité, science, universalisme, pluralisme, laïcité, républicanisme, démocratie représentative…) sont de droite. Bravo les fossoyeurs

1ère violation du cessez-le-feu du Hezbollah : Pas de réaction des journalistes. Ils ont piscine. 2ème : toujours rien. Ils sont au cinéma. 3ème à 10ème : silence total. pas de WiFi. 11ème : riposte israélienne et "BREAKING NEWS" sur toutes les TV. On nous explique que l’information va vite. Sauf quand le Hezbollah viole un cessez-le-feu, là ça rame. Par contre, dès que Tsahal répond : tout le monde récupère la fibre optique. Naufrage.

La sanglante mollahrchie poursuit le massacre de son peuple désarmé dans l'indifférence de la gauche mondiale qui n'a qu'une cause obsessionnelle, et une seule, la dénonciation d'un fantasmé "génocide" à Gaza.

Heute in Cottbus, gestern im Prenzlauer Berg: Hakenkreuze auf Synagogen, “KILL ALL JEWS” auf Häuserwänden. Das ist die Realität für Juden 2026 in Deutschland. Es ist kein Zufall, dass die Täter auf Englisch schreiben. Das ist die “globalized Intifada”, die sich seit Jahren auch auf deutschen Straßen formiert. Sicherheitsbehörden müssen diese globalen, dezentralen Terrororganisationen zerschlagen, anstatt sie nur zu beobachten. Es ist nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis sie zur Tat schreiten.

Im Land des Nie wieder bricht #Antisemitismus Rekorde. Antisemiten treten selbstbewusster & brutaler auf. Der Rechtsstaat kapituliert & begreift es nicht einmal & Berlin, die Hauptstadt des Antisemitismus, führt in diesem Jahr einen Gedenktag gegen antimuslimischen Rassismus ein

Das👇ist #Berlin. Ich warne seit Jahren vor dieser Entwicklung. Wer glaubt "Von Berlin bis nach #Gaza, yallah yallah, #Intifada." wäre ein harmloser Ruf auf den Demonstrationen dieses Landes, der unterstützt die offene Judenjagd. Und da sind wir: Juden werden verfolgt, ausgegrenzt und gewalttätig angegriffen. In dieser Stadt! In diesem Land! Eine sicherere Stadt Berlin kann man am 20. September 2026 wählen.

DECLASSIFED: Mossad dogs are fully trained in switching your coffee to decaf while you looked away for 0.8 seconds.

The regime’s trap is simple. Force the Shah into calling people into the streets before the street is safe. Then do what they did in January. Massacre the unarmed. Hide the bodies. Torture the detained. Hang the young. Blame the blood on the one man who refused to feed his people into their guns. That is the bait. The terrorist Islamic Regime occupying Iran knows its own hands are still wet with the blood of more than forty thousand of our compatriots. So now it wants to move the crime scene. From the shooter to the leader. From the regime to the opposition. From the butcher to the man trying to keep the people alive long enough to win. No. The only ones responsible for January are the regime that pulled the trigger, the militias that helped it, and the cowards who watched it happen, offered empty words, then pushed the regime’s narrative when truth finally had a cost. And look at the insult they call sovereignty. They scream about “foreign interference” while bringing proxy terrorist militias from Iraq and Afghanistan into our streets to harass Iranians in their own homeland. They brought Iraqi militias into Khorramshahr. Khorramshahr. A city that bled for years against Iraq now has to watch Iraqi militia parasites walk its streets under the protection of a regime that still dares to call itself Iranian. That is not sovereignty. That is occupation confessing in public. The Crown Prince’s answer was the answer of a commander, not a performer: The call comes when the street is safe. Because a leader does not trade living Iranians for a beautiful headline. A leader does not answer impatience with bodies. A leader does not hand the IRGC the massacre it is begging for. The regime wants us isolated from our allies, exposed in the streets, blind under blackout, and divided from the only leader the people keep naming. We see the trap. We see the bait. We see the isolation. We see the regime’s servants pretending to care about Iranian lives only when they can use those lives against the Shah. Iran will rise. But not on the regime’s timetable. Not inside the regime’s trap. Not as another offering to the gallows. At the right hour. With the right leader. Under the Lion and Sun. Payande Iran. Javid Shah.

Cancer cells have a problem. They cannot run on fat. Healthy cells in your body, properly metabolically flexible cells, can switch between glucose and ketones depending on what's available. They evolved to do this. They are good at it. Your brain in particular runs beautifully on ketones, which is why an adapted carnivore can think clearly through a 36 hour fast and a fed vegan can't remember what he came into the kitchen for. Cancer cells cannot do this. The mitochondria in tumour cells are damaged. They are stuck on glucose, almost exclusively, fermenting it inefficiently in the presence of oxygen. Otto Warburg observed this in the 1920s. He won a Nobel Prize for it. Then we spent the next century pretending he hadn't. The treatment implication writes itself. Lower the available glucose, raise ketones, and you starve the tumour while the rest of the body switches to its backup fuel and carries on. There are now multiple human trials showing improved outcomes when therapeutic ketosis is added to standard oncology, particularly for glioblastoma, where conventional treatment has hardly moved in forty years. It is cheap. It is non-toxic. It is metabolically gentler than chemotherapy. It is, in many cases, additive rather than alternative. It is also not patentable. Which is why you have probably never been told about it by anyone with a prescription pad. The metabolic theory of cancer is not fringe. It is not new. It is not unsupported. It is simply unprofitable, which in modern medicine is the same thing as untrue.

Was Fabio de Masi, Vorsitzender des BSW, am Samstag rhetorisch vollführt hat, ist sehr offensichtlich. Ich befürchte, genau so sieht es in seinem Kopf aus. Und in dem seiner Wähler, ebenso bei der Die Linke. ▶️ Er greift „unsere Sofa und Talkshow-Helden“ [sic] an. Dabei ist es vor allem seine eigene Einstellung, die diese „Sofa- und Talkshow-Helden“ überhaupt geschaffen hat. Denn eine Gesellschaft, die für die Illusion eines weltweiten Friedens jegliches Militär und sogar die Selbstverteidigung negiert, produziert unvermeidbar Generationen, die keine Ahnung von Militär haben. Und Krieg für unaussprechlich halten, während er weiterhin im Rest der Welt völlig normal ist. ▶️ Der nächste rhetorische Trick ist es, zu unterstellen, jemand würde vor Verhandlungen warnen. Es ist doch eher so, dass die Ukraine und Europa Bedingungen an Verhandlungen knüpfen. Nämlich, dass Russland den Krieg beendet und sich aus den Gebieten zurückzieht, die es als eines der ersten 1991 als souverän anerkannt hat. Was also im Grunde nur die Durchsetzung des Völkerrechts ist, auf das man sich vor allem von Linksaußen so gerne beruft. ▶️ Dann stellt er Ukrainer und Russen auf eine Stufe. Den beide verrecken ja „in den Schützengräben“. Wie bei Israel wird ignoriert, wer Angreifer und Verteidiger ist, wer der Aggressor ist. Ein Russe hat eine große Überlebenschance, wenn er gar nicht erst in die Ukraine kommt. Angreifer sind niemals Opfer. Und das alles angesichts von Fotos von ausgehungerten ukrainischen Kriegsgefangenen. Ukrainischen, nicht russischen. (Alleine sie so zu präsentieren verstößt übrigens gegen das Kriegsvölkerrecht.) Als jemand, der als Soldat bereit war, Deutschland und die NATO auch mit seinem Leben zu verteidigen, nehme ich mir das Recht heraus, es den Ukrainern zu überlassen, ob sie sich verteidigen wollen oder nicht. Ich vertrete, dass wir die Ukrainer besser unterstützen müssen, um die Russen mit aller Konsequenz aus dem Land zu jagen. Zu jagen, nicht zu bitten. Denn wir wären das nächste Ziel des russischen Regimes. Allerding läuft die Zeit zugunsten der Ukraine, die unsere Hilfe Tag für Tag weniger benötigt. Diese hinter Argumenten versteckte Propaganda endet immer genau dort, wo sie auf Menschen trifft, die mehr als „Sofa- und Talkshow-Helden“ sind. Da diese Menschen in dem Weltbild dieser Neopazifisten aber gar nicht vorkommen, bemerken viele diese Offensichtlichkeiten nicht. Russland ist seit dem 24.02.2022 keinen Jota von seinen Maximalforderungen abgewichen. Es wäre doch erfrischend, wenn wenigstens einmal Forderungen in diese Richtung formuliert würden.

@ungemeve Spot on.

One way or another, we will finish this fight. Europe may hesitate. Journalists may sneer. Politicians may hide behind process. But Iran has already paid the price they still debate. Forty thousand Iranians did not give their lives so safe men in safe rooms could decide whether we are ready to choose our own future. They died because they were ready. And when Iran is free, we will remember. Who stood with our dead. Who stood with our people. Who repeated the language of the cage and called it analysis. Who looked at a nation bleeding for liberty and still tried to grade its right to be free. The Crown Prince said it plainly: with or without Europe, this fight continues. Our never again is not a slogan from someone else’s history. It is today.

Offener Brief an die Bundesregierung: Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, mit großem Unverständnis und tiefer Bestürzung haben wir zur Kenntnis genommen, dass Vertreter der Bundesregierung während des Aufenthalts von @PahlaviReza in Berlin keinen Austausch mit ihm gesucht haben. Dies geschah zu einem Zeitpunkt, in dem Millionen Iraner – im Land wie in der Diaspora – ihn als zentrale Stimme der Opposition wahrnehmen und auf internationale Unterstützung hoffen. Stattdessen wurden Kontakte zum islamischen Regime aufrechterhalten und eine Fortsetzung der Beziehungen angestrebt – zu einem Regime, das seine eigene Bevölkerung auf den Straßen massakriert, Gefangene foltert und sie Tag für Tag hinrichtet. Diese politische Handlung ist eine bewusste Entscheidung. Ihre Konsequenz ist eindeutig: Wegsehen gegenüber Gewalt, Ignorieren der Opfer und Stabilisierung eines Systems, das seine Macht auf Repression, Terror und Angst gründet. Es geht hier nicht um theoretische Politik, sondern um konkrete Realität: um junge Frauen und Männer, die für ihre Grundrechte auf die Straße gehen und dafür mit ihrem Leben bezahlen; um Familien, die ihre Kinder verlieren; um Gefangene, die täglich der Hinrichtung entgegensehen. Wer in einer solchen Lage den Dialog mit den Tätern sucht, aber die Vertreter der Opposition meidet, setzt ein klares Signal – gegen die Opfer und gegen die Hoffnung auf Veränderung. Als Verein Woman Life Freedom e.V. stehen wir in engem Austausch mit Betroffenen, Angehörigen und Aktivisten. Wir hören ihre Stimmen, wir sehen ihr Leid – und wir sehen, wie sehr sie auf internationale Unterstützung angewiesen sind. Deutschland trägt eine politische und moralische Verantwortung. Diese zeigt sich nicht in diplomatischen Floskeln, sondern in klaren, konsequenten Entscheidungen. Es ist nicht akzeptabel, dass ein Regime, das für systematische Gewalt gegen die eigene Bevölkerung steht, weiterhin als legitimer Gesprächspartner behandelt wird, während diejenigen, die für Freiheit und Menschenrechte eintreten, ignoriert werden. Wir fordern die Bundesregierung auf: Beziehen Sie klar Stellung gegen den Staatsterrorismus der sogenannten Islamischen Republik. Beenden Sie jede politische Annäherung an dieses Regime. Treten Sie in den Dialog mit dem ansprechbaren Vertreter der iranischen Opposition: Reza Pahlavi. Und verzichten Sie auf die Relativierung, es gebe „andere Oppositionelle“ – benennen Sie diese konkret, sofern sie als ansprechbare Alternativen gelten. Die Annäherung der Bundesregierung an ein solches Regime bedeutet, über die Leichen derjenigen hinwegzugehen, die für Freiheit mit ihrem Leben bezahlt haben. Mit Nachdruck Woman Life Freedom e.V.

You could shear a sheep in May. It takes ten minutes. She is grateful. The fleece keeps you warm for forty years. When you're done, you bury it, and it becomes soil within three years. Or, for ethical reasons, you could choose one of the alternatives. Cotton. Requires 10,000 litres of water per jumper. The Aral Sea is now mostly dust because the Soviet Union diverted its rivers to grow it. But the jumper is "natural." Polyester. Crude oil, extruded into thread. Sheds 700,000 microplastic fibres per wash. Lasts in landfill until approximately the year 2226. But "vegan." Acrylic. Petrochemical, manufactured using a solvent the EU has classified as a reproductive hazard. Marketed as "cruelty-free." The cruelty is in the supply chain. Bamboo. The plant is innocent. The fabric is bamboo viscose, dissolved in carbon disulphide in a Chinese chemical plant whose workers have elevated rates of psychosis. But it has a leaf on the label. Hemp. Genuinely fine. Most of what is sold as hemp is a polyester blend, sold at four times the price. Recycled polyester. Still sheds microplastics. Still ends up in landfill. Made from plastic bottles that could have been recycled into more bottles. The fashion industry has been quiet about this. Vegan leather. Plastic. Reliably. Always. Lab-grown fibres. Genetically modified bacteria fed on glucose syrup in a steel tank, in a factory powered by natural gas, packaged in plastic, shipped from California. Funded by venture capital. Not yet profitable. Or you could shear the sheep in May. She'd appreciate it. The jumper would last forty years. The grass would grow back the same. But of course, the sheep is the unethical option.

Trump tomorrow.

I am begging you. Do not learn their names after the rope. Ehsan Hosseinipour. Matin Mohammadi. Erfan Amiri. Three young Iranians are reportedly at imminent risk of execution by the terrorist Islamic Regime occupying Iran. Look at their faces now. Flood the world with them now. Before fake courts become graves. Before forced confessions become headlines. Before another mother is left screaming into a silence the world helped build. Send their faces to journalists. Send their names to politicians. Make them impossible to bury. Do not wait to mourn them. Be their voice while they are still alive.

In 1977, the head of the PLO's military department gave an interview to a Dutch newspaper and said something that should have changed everything. He said Palestinian identity is emphasized for political reasons only. That a separate Palestinian identity exists for tactical reasons. That there are no real differences between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians, and Lebanese. His name was Zuher Mohsin. He wasn't a dissident. He wasn't breaking ranks. He was one of the architects of the movement and he said the quiet part out loud. Eight years earlier, Golda Meir had said the same thing and been destroyed for it. But that's not even the beginning of the story. The PLO was founded in 1964. Three years before Israel controlled the West Bank or Gaza. Whatever it was built to liberate, it wasn't land Israel acquired in 1967. Before Arafat, there was no Palestinian national identity. Not because the people weren't real. Because the identity hadn't been built yet. And Arafat built it the same way you build a city — founding story first, then institutions, symbols, a flag, a claim of ancient dispossession, and enough foreign funding to make it stick. The full piece is up on Substack (Link in comments). It starts with a fable. It ends with the only question that actually matters. ( Credit Melissa Steinberg Brodsky )

Forty years ago, the world faced one of the largest nuclear disasters – the fourth reactor of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant exploded. A significant amount of radioactive material was released. Hundreds of thousands of people have been dealing with the consequences of that tragedy for years. To contain the radiation, a sarcophagus was built over the destroyed reactor. Later, more than 40 countries enclosed it with the New Safe Confinement to prevent further disasters. These two structures are what protect against radioactive releases and contamination. Their maintenance and protection are in everyone’s interest. But through its war, Russia is once again bringing the world to the brink of a man-made disaster – Russian-Iranian “shaheds” regularly fly over the plant, and one of them struck the confinement last year. The world must not allow this nuclear terrorism to continue, and the best way is to force Russia to stop its reckless attacks. We remember everyone who gave their lives while dealing with the aftermath of this tragedy. May all the victims of the Chornobyl disaster rest in peace. @United24media

Trump and Elon Musk destroyed most of the global H.I.V. program that saved hundreds of thousands of lives in Zambia. Now the US is threatening to cut remaining support, unless Zambia gives access to the country’s mineral resources. nytimes.com/2026/04/25/hea…

@ItsDecado Rooting for you.

Long thread 1/2 Report from Tehran, written from April 18 to April 25 Tehran does not look like the city I once knew. It looks like a city under occupation. 17 days after the ceasefire, the mood is not simple hope or simple despair. It is confusion, distrust, exhaustion, and a silence full of questions no one can answer. The subway is free now, apparently. A cheap little bribe from the same terrorist Islamic Regime occupying Iran that spills our blood, breaks our economy, cuts our internet, then throws crumbs at us as if a free ticket can buy forgiveness. And of course, even the free subway is late. That is their whole empire in one image: ruin your life, offer you a discount, fail to deliver that too. The streets are not alive the way they should be. People move because they have to, not because the city calls them out. Public life has become functional, not social. Daytime is for errands, clinics, work, survival. Night belongs more and more to fear, checkpoints, and the regime’s staged little circuses. You see fewer faces buried in phones now, because what is there to check when the regime has strangled the internet for weeks? Instead, almost everyone wears headphones, as if the whole city is trying to shut reality out before it crushes them. Because the thought is unbearable: that after all this blood, after January, after the arrests, after the torture, after the gallows, this mafia might still survive. Every major intersection, every square, every main four way carries the same sickness. Men in green and black, guns and batons in hand, military vehicles behind them, walking over our streets like they conquered a foreign land. For one second, you feel like you have been dropped into a Metal Gear game. Then you remember: no, this is my city. Do you know what it feels like to be a third rate citizen in your own homeland? It has nothing to do with success, education, money, or work. Under this occupation, if you are not part of the mafia, you are disposable. Everything you have can be taken from you. Your job. Your home. Your phone. Your name. Your loved ones. Your life. So you learn to walk carefully in the city where you were born. I played in these streets. I made friends here. I rode my bike through half of this city. I know Tehran like the back of my own hand. I found love and got my heart broken in these streets. I went on dates in cafés all over this city. I worked in some of them too. I have been part of the startup system of this city. I have been to most of the bookstores. I know these people. And do you want to know the interesting part? We all feel it. Being a Tehran kid is like being a New Yorker. It is more than an address. It is a rhythm, a wound, a language, a map written under your skin. And now I have to move through it like a spy. In my own city. In my own homeland. I have two phones, because one has to stay clean for the street. If they stop me and search the wrong one, I am not the only one who pays. My loved ones pay too. That is what life becomes under a regime that treats truth like contraband. The information space is broken beyond words. Rumors move faster than facts. Verification feels almost impossible. Trust in official sources is dead, and even unofficial news arrives wounded by blackout, fear, and delay. People are not only uncertain. They are trapped inside uncertainty.
