@NiallODowd @wickedfairysad Brutal US Black & Tans trained by the brutal IDF, who themselves - as the Haganah - were trained to use the brutal tactics of UK Black & Tans. A common thread of violence running from the British colonial thugs, Orde Wingate in Israel, the IDF, and on to Jonathan Ross & ICE.

They’re still doing the “two Jewish men” thing even though THREE men were stabbed - one a Muslim

When the US sanctioned me for exposing corporate complicity, I trusted people would act. If after nearly a year @bookingcom & @Airbnb still profit from stolen Palestinian property, it’s because too many still use them. Stop using them now & tell them why. theguardian.com/world/2026/may…

Seán Farrell @trocaire CEO - Irish Times. Gaza is gone from the news, but Palestinians are still being slaughtered, kids left in tents full of rats & disease. Trócaire is state funded. Still our leaders say we must play Israel. We must not and should not. #StopTheGame

EEUU ordenó al gobierno de Rodrigo Paz ejecutar una operación militar, con el apoyo de la DEA y el Comando Sur norteamericano, para detenerme o matarme. Entre los impulsores de esa acción están el exministro de Gobierno de Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada -que fugó a Miami luego de la Masacre de Octubre Negro (2003)- Carlos “Zorro” Sánchez Berzaín; y el Viceministro de Defensa Social, Ernesto Justiniano, que se encuentra en Washington. Previo a eso, el gobierno aplica una intensa campaña de difamación, insultos y acusaciones sin pruebas, con el asesoramiento de extranjeros expertos en guerra sucia y fake news (noticias falsas), como el argentino Fernando Cerimedo enviado a Bolivia por el derechista Javier Milei y cuyas operaciones sucias ya fueron reveladas por periodistas bolivianos honestos. Se encuentran en el Trópico: Novena División de Ejército: Comandante Cnl. Franz Andrade Loza. El gobierno le prometió ascenderlo a general y nombrarle comandante de las FFAA si acaba con Evo. El F-10 dependiente del Comandante en Jefe de las FFAA (Gral. Víctor Hugo Balderrama), al mando del Tte. Cnel. Carlos Giménez Ortuño, ex ayudante del ministro de Defensa de Jeanine Añez, Fernando López. El CITE (unidad militar de paracaidistas) comandado por el Tte. Cnel. Santiestevan, que estuvo encarcelado por las masacres del régimen de Añez en Sacaba y Senkata. El CIE 298 (Compañía de Inteligencia del Ejercito) cuyos miembros entrenaron en Cotapachi para ejecutar la operación en el Trópico. Francotiradores de F-10 del Regimiento Ranger de Challapata. Desde el Batallón Ingavi VII Sajama, fueron enviados decenas de militares, entre coroneles mayores, capitanes, tenientes y suboficiales. Los militares bolivianos estarán bajo el mando de marines norteamericanos y agentes de la DEA paraguayos, a quienes no les importa masacrar a hermanos y hermanas que residen en el Trópico.

we are in the golden age of China punditry. Any contribution I could make would be superfluous.

This is the Labour MP “giving up” his seat for Andy Burnham. Josh Simons is a member of the Israel APPG, which states that its purpose is “to unite parliamentarians…who are proud to be friends of Israel.” Now, he wants to help topple Keir Starmer. Here’s why:🧵

If you need any more evidence that democratic congressional leadership supports the Iran war. They miscounted the votes so an actual co-sponsor of the bill had to vote against it to stop it from passing!

ah, creepy. The way to push this opaque, destructive tech down America's throat is to package it as patriotism. Well, if there's a bipartisan ideology in US, it's to sustain US hegemony by any means necessary.

I've spent months going through the records to determine whether the Lend-Lease program actually made a difference on the ground for the Red Army, and the first section, covering the period from the start of Operation Barbarossa to January 1, 1942, is now finished. I will post my examination of the rest of the war once it is completed. A Precise Statistical and Strategic Case Against the Supposed " Decisive " Role of Lend-Lease in Soviet Victory. Part One June 22, 1941 to January 1, 1942 THESIS The claim that Lend-Lease saved the Soviet Union, or meaningfully contributed to the defeat of Operation Barbarossa, is not merely an exaggeration. In the specific period examined here, from the first hour of the German invasion on June 22, 1941, to January 1, 1942, it is demonstrably false. The numbers do not support it. The timeline does not support it. The battlefield record does not support it. What saved the Soviet Union in 1941 was Soviet steel, Soviet blood, Soviet industrial capacity, and the iron will of Joseph Stalin. This article will attempt to prove that case precisely, category by category, date by date, and number by number. PART ONE: THE TIMELINE DESTROYS THE MYTH BEFORE IT BEGINS The most devastating argument against the supposed decisive role of Lend-Lease in 1941 is not about quality, quantity, or combat performance. It is about dates. A program that does not yet exist cannot save anyone. June 22, 1941: Germany invades. The Soviet Union begins fighting alone. July 12, 1941: Britain and the USSR sign a mutual assistance agreement. No materiel is transferred on this date. It is a diplomatic document. August 2, 1941: The United States agrees in principle to provide aid to the USSR under the existing Lend-Lease Act. No shipment is authorized on this date. August 25, 1941: The first convoy, codenamed Dervish, departs Britain. It carries seven Hurricane fighters in crates, 40 Hurricanes in crates aboard a second vessel, rubber, tin, and wool. It arrives on August 31. Seven assembled Hurricanes and 40 crated aircraft reaching a nation fighting 153 German divisions across a 2,900-kilometre front was not a lifeline. It was a symbolic gesture. September 29 to October 1, 1941: The Moscow Conference produces the First Moscow Protocol, the first formal commitment of specific quantities. It promises 400 aircraft per month, 500 tanks per month, and quantities of aluminum, copper, and other materials. Note carefully: this protocol is signed on October 1, 1941. The Battle of Moscow, Operation Typhoon, begins on October 2, 1941. The protocol was signed the day before the decisive battle began. No protocol equipment played any role in that battle’s opening phase because none had yet arrived. November 7, 1941: Roosevelt formally extends Lend-Lease to the USSR and authorizes a one-billion-dollar credit. On this same day, Stalin stands on Lenin’s Mausoleum on Red Square and watches Soviet troops parade past him and march directly to the front to fight the Germans 80 kilometres away. Those troops are carrying Soviet weapons. December 5 to 6, 1941: The Moscow Counteroffensive begins. The German Army is thrown back from the capital in the decisive engagement of the entire campaign. The bulk of the Lend-Lease supplies promised under the First Protocol has not yet arrived in usable quantities. January 1, 1942: The period under examination closes. The Soviet Union has survived Barbarossa. The Germans have been pushed back from Moscow. The Lend-Lease program, as a functioning large-scale supply operation, did not begin delivering meaningful quantities until the spring and summer of 1942. The period in which it theoretically could have mattered, the six months of Barbarossa, was precisely the period in which it was still being negotiated, organized, loaded, and shipped. The Soviet Union survived the battle for its existence before the program functioned at scale. This fact alone forms the foundation of the argument.

The West is appalled by the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Couldn't care less about the blockade of Cuba, the Ethnic Cleansing of Lebanon or the continuing Genocide in Gaza.

They told the whole world to avoid China. Decouple. De-risk. Sanctions. Tariffs. War rhetoric. Then 12 US capitalists flew to Beijing to beg the Communist Party for deals. Elon Musk. Top CEOs. Trump himself. All in China. Smiling. Shaking hands. Asking for business. The same politicians who call China an "evil empire" are now standing in Beijing with their hands out. Told Africa to stay away from China. Told Europe to cut ties. Told everyone China is a threat. But when their economy is burning, when their factories are shutting, when their own system is failing, where do they run? Beijing. They do not believe their own lies. They just want you to. Hypocrisy has no borders. But neither does desperation.

they want us to believe it’s a national security emergency to fall behind china on Ai but falling behind china on high speed rail, renewable energy and childhood nutrition is a-OK.

I've read the entire Israeli "Civil Commission" report on Oct 7 sexual violence. It consists largely, if not entirely, of recycled second and third hand allegations that were discredited two years ago, many by Israeli media but also by independent outlets like The Grayzone, Electronic Intifada, and Mondoweiss. The most graphic allegations were copy-and-pasted from the NY Times infamously debunked "Screams Without Words" feature, which resulted in the cancellation of a NY Times podcast on the article, a staff-wide revolt, a desperate internal investigation to stop leaks, and the firing of the article's lead Israeli reporter. Many of the other allegations are sourced to Rami Davidian, a star of Sheryl Sanderberg's unintentionally fictional documentary, "Screams Before Silence," who was unmasked as a serial fabricator who spun out fake Oct 7 atrocity stories for lucrative lecture fees. The report appears to have been rushed to print after Israeli intel learned that Nick Kristof was to publish his report on the systematic rape of Palestinian prisoners, and was disseminated through a coalition of Israeli-sponsored MAGA influencers, AIPAC-owned politicians, and mainstream US media outlets.

Shocked?
