At a later meeting, talking thru cigarette smoke in a noisy hotel bar, he knockd on the table between us:“This is poetry. Language is here –in the street, in the mud, in the shop, in the kitchen, in the mkt, the discussions, in everyday life. And you can make poetry out of this.”

a nuclear scientist just got killed in an airstrike in Iran and honestly i need to talk about this because western media won't & i think most people don't understand what they're looking at as i've been explaining for weeks now in multiple threads, Israel through Mossad has been assassinating Iranian scientists for over a decade and i genuinely think the Fakhrizadeh case is one of the most terrifying operations in modern intelligence history this man was killed in 2020 by a remote controlled ai-powered machine gun smuggled into Iran in pieces over several months, the whole thing weighed a ton, it was mounted on a pickup truck on the side of the road and operated via satellite from a Mossad command center 1 600 km away, 15 bullets fired in under 60 seconds, the AI compensated for the satellite delay the recoil and the speed of the car in real time, that's how far they're willing to go to eliminate Iranian brainpower one by one but here's what i find fascinating, the assassinations didn't break the ecosystem because it runs too deep, so they escalated, US just bombed Iran's university of science and technology, one of the oldest and most prestigious in the country and if you've been following me you already know why this matters these are the same institutions that took Iran from 58th to 4th in the world in nanotechnology in 20y that produce the engineers who designed the Arvand rocket engine and the maneuverable reentry vehicles, that trained the physicists behind the MRBM to IRBM leap to 4 000 km on Diego Garcia, i've been writing about this scientific ecosystem for years and everything happening right now is the logical continuation of what i already laid out and i think that's the part nobody wants to say out loud, this war was never about nukes or regime change, i believe it's about dismantling the only sovereign state in the Middle East and i mean the ONLY ONE look at every other country in the region, Saudi Arabia outsources its entire defense to the Pentagon & couldn't fight a war in Yemen for 8y without American logistics and still lost, the UAE bought F-35s in exchange for normalizing with Israel, Qatar hosts the largest US air base in the region at Al Udeid, Bahrain hosts the US Fifth fleet, Kuwait, Iraq Jordan are military protectorates in everything but name none of these countries design manufacture or deploy their own weapons systems, none of them have an indigenous defense industry, their sovereignty ends where the next Lockheed Martin contract begins, if Washington calls tomorrow and says stop they stop because they literally cannot function without american hardware Iran is the ONLY country in that entire region that built everything from scratch under 40y of total embargo because NOBODY would sell them anything and that's exactly why they're the target they know the only way to stop this machine is to kill the people who build it…and when killing them one by one wasn't enough to crack an ecosystem too deep to break, they started bombing the universities directly and i'll say this as clearly as i can you don't bomb a university when you're winning a war, you bomb a university when you've realized the real threat was never the arsenal it was the intelligence behind it and you have no idea how to stop it

حسب قناة كان العبرية امريكا تطلب من إسرائيل الموافقة على نقل قواعد عسكرية امريكية من دول بالمنطقة و نقلها لداخل الكيان بشكل دائم. إسرائيل تدرس الموضوع

The new law, which is going to be discussed tomorrow at the Israeli parliament and has a high likelihood of passage, will turn Israel’s prisons into “legalized killing grounds” and “an extension of a multi-pronged system of genocide.”

🇵🇸 A film dating to the year 1896 in Palestine, before the mass invasion of settlers, describes the land being inhabited 85% by Muslims, 10% by Christians and 5% by Jews, 50% of whom living in Jerusalem and all of them speaking Arabic at home.

More footage of the elderly woman who was handcuffed and arrested by the Met Police yesterday for opposing genocide and supporting Palestine Action. I’ve heard that some police officers have told their bosses they don’t want to do this work. I don’t blame them, it’s ghastly.

Driving through a city SHOULD be inconvenient if you're driving at the same time as everyone else. Space is limited, and motor vehicles take up a ton of space. Over time they keep getting bigger. Autobesity is a burden on everyone.

Benjamin Netanyahu goes fully psychotic and tells the world that he will single-handedly change the entire face of the Middle East, and that Israel will attack any country at any time. “We will surprise them instead of them surprising us.” “We are the attacking side. We are the initiating side.” “We take the initiative. We attack.”

new, freshly planted public space coming along at the bottom of St John Street. opposite Smithfield Market. New one-way restrictions, cycle lane, trees and space for people. Getting rid of on-street parking spaces can be so appealing
