Patrick Durusau Seeking Demise of #WhiteSupremacy

“If you, as a White person, would like to be treated the way Black people are in this society, stand." Watch who stands in response to Jane Elliott.

🇺🇸 Epstein survivors were shocked by Melania denying ties to Epstein, and are now alarmed by reports Republicans may push to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell. Survivor Annie Farmer called it “extremely troubling.” If true, they're not doing it for free.

The classification claim refuted itself in real time. Hegseth called Kelly's CBS comments about depleted munitions "falsely & dumbly" disclosing classified information. Kelly responded by posting the clip from the previous week's public Senate hearing in which Hegseth himself said it would take "years" to replenish stockpiles. The Secretary of Defense accused a senator of illegally disclosing information that the Secretary of Defense had already disclosed publicly in congressional testimony seven days earlier. Kelly's four-word response: "It's a quote from you." CSIS found the US has used roughly half its munitions inventory in the Iran war. Four-year replenishment timeline. War cost confirmed at $25 billion by late April. Hegseth has insisted stockpiles are sufficient while simultaneously acknowledging replenishment will take years. This is the second attempt to punish Kelly through official mechanisms. The courts have already pushed back on the first.

Known as “the woman who avenged Che Guevara,” Monika Ertl was the daughter of Hans Ertl, one of Nazi Germany’s leading propaganda filmmakers. After the Second World War, she fled to Bolivia with her family, like many nazi fugitives. Her father continued to associate there with figures such as Klaus Barbie, the Nazi war criminal known as the “Butcher of Lyon.” However, Monika turned her back on everything that environment represented. In the late 1960s, affected by poverty and injustice in Bolivia, she broke away from the fascist world around her father and became radicalized. After Che Guevara was killed in Bolivia, she joined the National Liberation Army (ELN) that he had founded. Her codename was now “Imilla,” meaning “Little Girl” in an Indigenous language. The event that made Monika Ertl known worldwide took place on April 1, 1971: the killing of Roberto Quintanilla, Bolivia’s consul in Hamburg and a former intelligence official considered one of those chiefly responsible for Che Guevara’s death. Quintanilla was one of the men who posed beside Che Guevara’s lifeless body and gave the order for his hands to be cut off. Monika entered the consulate building in Hamburg disguised as an elegant woman. When she came face to face with Quintanilla, she drew her weapon and shot him three times. In the note she left at the scene were the words: “Hasta la victoria o muerte.” This act echoed worldwide as “Che’s revenge.” After the assassination, Monika returned to Bolivia and continued underground activities. One of her biggest targets was to kidnap Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie, an old friend of her father who at that time was advising the Bolivian dictatorship. However, on May 12, 1973, she was ambushed by Bolivian security forces. She was killed in a clash in the streets of La Paz. Her grave was kept secret and her body was never handed over to her family. Monika Ertl became one of the most extreme examples of devotion to a cause by rejecting her origins and privileged life. As both a German and a Bolivian revolutionary, she became one of the symbols of the anti-fascist bridge between Europe and Latin America.
