Israel is dropping toxic chemicals on farmland in South Lebanon

We’re talking about catastrophic levels of glyphosate, a chemical linked to cancer

11,000 times above safe levels

This is a deliberate war crime aimed at making life impossible and forcing people out of their land

The British oil company that became BP discovered Iran's oil. When Iranians realized they were being robbed, they nationalized it — so MI6 & CIA toppled their democracy in 1953, installing a dictatorship. Iranians rose up in 1979 & the West has never forgiven them for it.

Más de 7.400 muertos, la mayoría civiles. Cientos de hogares, colegios y hospitales destruidos. Un incremento generalizado de los precios y miles de millones de euros en pérdidas, también en Europa. Este es el saldo que ha tenido el conflicto en Irán.

Confiamos en que el acuerdo de paz anunciado hoy sirva para poner fin a este sinsentido, que sea respetado por todas las partes, y que marque así el inicio de una nueva etapa en Oriente Medio.

Celebremos. Pero no olvidemos. Y aprendamos de una vez por todas que la guerra es un fracaso. El diálogo y la diplomacia son el único camino.

The Philippines faces an existential threat.

No, not "Chinese expansionism in the South CHINA Sea," but the fact the Philippines is LITERALLY OCCUPIED by US troops who are forcing the country to divert national resources from development to proxy war - into turning the Philippines into the "Ukraine" of Southeast Asia against China, the Philippines' largest trading partner.

If the people of the Philippines do not reverse US occupation and oust the US client regime in power now - they will suffer a fate at least as bad as Ukraine.

They are already suffering decades-spanning poverty because of their status as a proxy serving US interests at the expense of the Philippines' actual interests.

This is one the Philippines' Independence Day - guess who they gained independence from?

The US - they were literally an outright colony of the US - when they first fought for independence against US occupation and control, the US instituted concentration camps and systematic torture - this according to the US State Department's OWN account:

"The war was brutal on both sides. U.S. forces at times burned villages, implemented civilian reconcentration policies, and employed torture on suspected guerrillas..."

We took Erin Brockovich's map of every data center in America. Then we laid the nation's aquifers on top of it.

We noticed they're not building data centers where the land is cheap. They're building them where the water is.

Farmers near these facilities say their livestock have stopped falling pregnant. Residents say the humming never stops.

And the projects arrive under NDAs, so most towns don't know until the ground is already broken.

The question isn’t where they’re building anymore. It’s why they’re building where they’re building. Tonight, we think we can answer that question.

We’ve been covering the data center issue in great detail on this broadcast, and for good reason. It’s a serious problem in America and worldwide, and it’s one that is uniting people from all sides of the political aisle because, guess what, whether you are a conservative or a liberal, you have human rights that enable you to have access to basic survival needs like water, which was given to us by God, not by the state or Big Tech, by the way.

Erin Brockovich joined the data center fight recently. She launched a site including a map that shows data centers either completed, under construction, planned, or community reported, likely due to all those pesky NDAs in place stopping us from knowing they’re coming to our area. But the public isn’t stupid.

So Maria thought she’d do something a little bit different. She created a series of maps using Erin Brockovich’s data center data, then superimposed aquifer maps onto those maps, then superimposed smart city locations onto those maps. What Maria found was pretty mind-blowing and, she says, lends credence to her theory that those in charge are purposely making rural areas unlivable for the purpose of pushing people into smart cities, where they will be under constant surveillance and on a short leash.

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

I mean, the answer is simple: republicans betray America

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Republicans are in charge because we promised:

to Make America Healthy Again.
to start No New Wars,
to put people above corporations,
to put America above foreign countries,
to release the Epstein files,
to not spy on citizens,
to eliminate fraud,

what the hell happened?!

"The great error of nearly all studies of war, an error into which all socialists have fallen, has been to consider war as an episode in foreign politics, when it is especially an act of interior politics, and the most atrocious act of all", so observed the French philosopher Simone Weil.

From this perspective, targetting the drinking-water tanks in Sirik, southern Iran, strips the mask from the true nature of the power; a power that has spent decades cloaking itself in the language of 'human rights', 'international order', and 'moral responsibility' reveals its essence when it deliberately destroys the drinking water of Iranians. In that moment, it does not merely attack a target — it strikes at the very foundation of the noble narrative it has built about itself.

Empires do not fall when their enemies grow stronger; they fall when they can no longer sustain the bridge between what they proclaim and what they do.

The moment of decline is not the collapse of city walls; it is the collapse of the credibility of words that have long concealed reality. What remains is what T.S. Eliot so hauntingly described:
"Shape without form, shade without colour, paralysed force, gesture without motion."

🚨BREAKING: Israel has closed all crossings into Gaza and halted the entry of humanitarian aid following Iran’s retaliatory strikes on Israel, cutting off supplies to roughly 2 million Palestinians in the territory.

Israel has imposed similar blanket closures during previous periods of regional escalation, including immediately after the outbreak of war in late February, collectively punishing Gaza’s civilian population.

❗️Iran’s Central Military Command (Khatam Al-Anbiya):

Despite the previous warnings of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the child-killing Zionist regime has crossed all red lines and, by intensifying its attacks in southern Lebanon, has targeted Beirut’s Dahiyeh.

• We had previously warned that if the crimes in Beirut’s Dahieh expanded, we would attack targets in the occupied territories.

• The Zionist army must stop its attacks on southern Lebanon and Dahiyeh.

If it expands its attacks on that area, or responds to Iran’s action, it will face more crushing and regret-inducing strikes, and devastating attacks against the regime and its supporters will begin.

[Joe Kent @joekent16jan19]

We give Israel unprecedented access to facets of our government and electoral systems, enabling their overt influence over our foreign policy. Like any competent intel service, they take advantage of that access to further Israel’s agenda, at the expense of Americans.

Our entire relationship with Israel must be redefined—immediately. We need to be clear-eyed going forward and should treat them like a foreign country with different objectives than ours, because they are.

[𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘦 @OopsGuess]

The New York Times accidentally revealed the moral bankruptcy of capitalism.

China is making breakthroughs in cancer drugs, clinical trials, biotech research, and life-saving medicines.

The first American reaction is not:
“How many patients can this save?”

It is:
“Will this threaten U.S. dominance?”
“Will American biotech lose its edge?”
“Will Big Pharma struggle to keep up?”

That tells you everything.

In a sane world, better cancer drugs would be a human victory.
In Washington’s world, even medicine becomes a battlefield the moment China helps people live.

China’s biotech rise is not just about winning.
It is about responsibility to a massive patient population that cannot wait for American monopolies, American prices, or American permission.

Cancer patients do not care about U.S. dominance.
They care about staying alive.

And that is exactly why China cannot leave this field to America.

تخيل أن تكون نائما في منتصف الليل, ثم يأتي إسرائيلي يطرق على بابك فجأة, إذا خانك ذكائك وفتحت لهذا الحيوان الباب, مصيرك أنت وعائلتك الفلسطينية الموت قتلا برصاصه.

وبعدها سيذهب هذا الحيوان ينام في بيته كأن شيئا لم يحدث, بل قد تكافئه الحكومة الإسرائيلية في المستقبل.

[Global Sumud Flotilla @gbsumudflotilla]

URGENT UPDATE: Illegally detained Sumud volunteers are now on their 4th day of a dry hunger strike (no food, no water) and their condition is critical.

Since Monday, ten people detained in Benghazi have been refusing food, with many also refusing water, in protest of prolonged illegal detention, mistreatment, and being denied legal counsel. Some have been forced to break the strike, but many continue as their health deteriorates.

Their lives are at risk. They’ve received no medical care and are being held in “black sites" (unknown areas).
We demand their immediate release and we need you to act now.

Call. Post. Pressure the authorities. Share this update widely.
