Equanimity

The stars are not wanted now: put out everyone; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and pick up the wood; For nothing now can ever come to any good.

@admcollingwood @ripplebrain I love what the Houthis did for Palestine. They call them terrorists, but their motive is noble.

@ripplebrain Hidden in that statement is an admission of total victory for the Houthis.

WE SHOULD TAKE THE PERSIAN GULF AND PUSH IT SOMEWHERE ELSE!

@ripplebrain Start digging Netanyahu

Synopsis Extraordinaire Thank You Amerikanets brings me hope and bit of joy everyday of this wretched war.

@allenanalysis @SamiRamadani1 Now two down are being reported…and this prospective on the lacking confirmation is helpful to understanding how we are (could) always be victims of orchestrated manipulation. Let’s see what we learn.

🚨 The Jerusalem Post confirms: an American F-35 has been hit for the first time in history. Iran’s air defenses — which Trump said today were completely destroyed — just hit America’s most advanced stealth fighter. The F-35 costs $80 million per aircraft. It has never been hit in combat in its entire operational history. Until today. Trump said the defenses are destroyed. An F-35 got hit. Joe Kent confirmed there was no nuclear program worth stopping. Hegseth told his son they died to stop a nuclear Iran that didn’t exist. 14 Americans dead. $21 billion spent. Zero allied warships. Pearl Harbor invoked to Japan. And Iran just hit the plane we said they couldn’t touch. Never stop connecting the dots.

@MaxBlumenthal There is no hope for this cruel world.

Mainstream US media responds to Israel’s targeted assassination of veteran reporter Steve Sweeney: “Danger very close”

I don’t see the point of this type of journalism. Journalists should stop calling presidents directly and regurgitating whatever they say without letting us hear the actual conversation. It should be proper sit-down interviews, press pool access, or White House briefings. These ridiculous phone calls are phony journalism that looks like propaganda, similar to how President Trump used to phone into Fox News. This is an example of how journalistic standards are degraded. What’s next? Texting and DM’ing presidents and get quick one liners like - “we are doing amazing”

@Villgecrazylady We need an amnesty day or week. Admit you were wrong about this failure of a President and no one will clown you.

@ME_Observer_ @ripplebrain I love that prior warning and directives were provided by Iran before demolition. Many examples of morality, despite the despicable nature of war.

Iran refuses to abandon Palestine. Even while under heavy bombardment, Iran demands the liberation of the Palestinian people as a core condition for ending the war. A true display of unwavering solidarity.

Few understand that Palestine is the foundation of this conflict. Iran, the Houthis, Hezbollah…these are defenders of tortured, occupied people. We should all be defending their humanity.

This weekend, settlers in the West Bank committed one of the most horrific attacks imaginable on the West Bank community of Khirbet Humsa. Here is what happened: * A man was sexually assaulted in front of his bound family and the human rights activists present. His pants were pulled down, he was doused with water, and beaten brutally with clubs while curled on the ground * Women had their headscarves torn off and clothing ripped. Girls, including very young ones, were dragged outside and beaten * One settler threatened in Arabic to return, burn the houses, kill the children, and rape the women, saying this directly in front of women and children * A settler grabbed a 14-year-old girl and began slapping her while her mother watched, bound and unable to help * A settler threatened to take a woman's daughters to live with the settlers * The 74-year-old family elder was beaten in the head, hands and stomach by three settlers while a fourth destroyed security cameras, the router, and lights. He briefly lost consciousness and had water thrown on him to revive him * The two activists (American and Portuguese) were beaten with fists and clubs, handcuffed at hands and feet, and had their rings forcibly removed under threat of having their fingers broken. * The American activist's jacket was cut open with a knife and a settler began handling her belt buckle, leading her to believe she was about to be raped. The Portuguese activist was dragged by her ankles because she couldn't walk with her leg restraints. These people are absolute Nazis, given freedom to run rampant by the Israeli government. This is a policy to terrorize Palestinians into leaving their homes so settlers can take them.

Up until November 2023, this account was pulling in up to 50 million views a day. People read. People shared. People finally felt someone was telling the truth without filters. Then, mid-November 2023 – they shut it down. Cold. Brutal. The crime? Reporting on Gaza. On the slaughter of children. On starving families. On a nation being systematically erased.Three months in exile. I came back in March 2024… and everything was already poisoned. This isn’t some “algorithm tweak.” This is deliberate, surgical strangulation. Reach crushed by 98%. Shadow-ban on steroids. Monetization turned on, then ripped away – literally one hour before the final payout last Friday. One. Single. Hour. That’s not a glitch. That’s a middle finger. That’s contempt.Every time I dared to hope that maybe – just maybe – X wasn’t fully owned by the same machine I’ve been exposing… they proved me wrong again. Harder. Faster. Deeper. Freedom of speech here is just a shiny sticker for those who sing the approved song: MSM, Washington, Tel Aviv. Everyone else? Silence them. Starve them. Rob them of the last penny they earned bleeding for this platform.I feel betrayed. Not just by an algorithm. Betrayed by people who swore this place would be different. By those who preached “we stand for free speech” while quietly looking the other way as they choke the life out of us. Today I make the hardest decision since this account was born: I’m leaving X. Indefinitely. Maybe forever. I have no more strength left to fight a beast that steals my work, my voice, my income – and then smirks down at me like I’m the problem. To every single one of you who believed in this – and especially to every creator still dreaming they can live off their truth here: Stop trusting them. Stop building your life on their promises. Don’t hand them all your cards. Have a backup. Have a real job. Have an escape hatch. Because when they finally cut you off, there won’t be an apology. No explanation. Just silence and a negative balance.Thank you – from the bottom of my broken heart – to everyone who stood by me. Thank you for every retweet, every word of support, every night you reminded me I wasn’t crazy for seeing what’s really happening. You kept me going longer than I deserved.I’ll be here one or two more days. After that… lights out. I’m job-hunting. Air-hunting. Looking for a place where a person can still breathe without permission.With grief, rage, and zero illusions left, Sprinter Press.

@TomLPope @Malcolm_Pal9 You may want to dig deeper into those details, we can all fall victim to propaganda.

@Malcolm_Pal9 He just wants to murder 30,000 Iranian protesters in one month with your help!

A clear difference in opinions has been detected.

The Moral Disparity Between Nations

It is the DUTY of every Catholic in the world to say “NO” to Zionism, and their immoral wars. Time to step up!

Disconnect from your Television! Their profits fizzle and your productivity abounds. You don’t need them, they need you.

@STANISKRAPIVNIK Finally some good news, a bit of happiness in this bitter world. Thank you!

🇻🇳 🇮🇷 A friend in need is a friend indeed. Vietnam recently sent to Iran 60 tons of aid: rice, flour, instant noodles, fish sauce, sugar, seasonings, clothes for children and adults... The plane took off from Hanoi with security measures in place and landed without any problems. The order was given by Secretary General To Lam. During the Iran-Iraq War (1980–1988), Vietnam, which was under sanctions, continued to supply spare parts and technical support to Iran. In return, the Iranians sent about 5 million barrels of crude oil to the Vietnamese Republic. Then, from 1993 to around 2016, the two countries had a "late payment" system: Vietnam sold rice, cement, steel, and other goods at a 10–20% discount or on interest-free terms, and Iran supplied oil. This is a quiet but constant example of mutual cooperation between two countries that needed each other when others refused to help and cooperate.

“Will It Work?” That’s @nytimes headline on Israel’s extrajudicial assassinations. Not the fact that they violate international law and set a dangerous precedent, but will it work. How is this journalism?

Dear Cuba, Your fortitude is a guiding light to all that comprehend your fortitude. Endure and Thrive!
