Remember when President Connolly was rounded on by Irish media commentators for saying that certain European countries were heavily invested in developing a 'military-industrial complex'.

BREAKING: Israel Has Committed A Massacre By Bombing Nasser Hospital In Gaza

Six confirmed dead so far & over 30 wounded.

This is what the world calls a “ceasefire”. The genocide continues.

It's much worse than that, actually. The middle class was a 50 year fluke that was dependent BOTH on a fear of communism and a material superabundance from chewing through the natural resources and fossil fuels of an entire planet. Once the resources are gone, it's over.

[patrick bresnihan @PBresnihan]

Yes, and why allowing 8000 US troops pass through Shannon in the build up to their illegal war on Iran was a legal contravention of Irish neutrality.

As I wrote in a recent piece debunking the “Russian hybrid warfare” narrative, a “hybrid war” is indeed being waged against Europe — but it is being waged by the EU-NATO establishment itself, against its own population. Europeans are being subjected to a sustained campaign of cognitive or psychological warfare aimed at conditioning them to believe that Europe is under attack from Russia, and that these hybrid attacks are a prelude to conventional hostilities — a claim for which, by and large, there is little or no proof.

This leads to a disquieting question: given how much European governments and NATO have invested in — and come to depend on — the “hybrid war” narrative, and the broader idea of Russia as an existential threat to Europe, will they continue to limit themselves to inflating a threat that has little basis in reality? Or might they at some point feel compelled to go further? There is, after all, a historical precedent involving NATO. In October 1990, Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti confirmed to the Italian parliament the existence of “Gladio”: a secret paramilitary network, established in the early post-war years in various NATO countries under NATO auspices with CIA involvement, equipped with hidden arms caches and maintained for four decades outside any parliamentary oversight. The European Parliament’s resolution of November 1990 described an organisation that had “eluded all democratic control” and had been implicated in certain member states, “as evidenced by various judicial inquiries”, in serious cases of terrorism.

Parliamentary inquiries followed in Italy, Belgium, Switzerland, and Germany. In Italy, those inquiries reached the sharpest conclusions. A decade later, a report by members of the parliamentary commission on massacres concluded that a “strategy of tension” — bombings of civilians in public places, blamed on the left to frighten the electorate towards the anti-communist right — had been “organised or promoted or supported by men inside Italian state institutions and, as has been discovered more recently, by men linked to the structures of United States intelligence”. This is what is commonly known today as a false flag: a covert operation designed to conceal who is really responsible and pin the blame on someone else. It is curious, then, that European and NATO officials have themselves accused Russia of planning false flag attacks. Could this be preparing the public for a scenario in which an attack bears no trace of Russia — and is nonetheless blamed on Moscow precisely for that reason, as a “Russian false flag”?

Correct! And looks like similar happening in US as well.

Europe chose my former boss Volodymyr Zelenskyy its face of democracy. Low-educated, rude, blackmailing, self-obsessed personality that filled Ukraine with violence, human rights violation, and political persecutions.

Six years ago, I was teaching this person what media is and what and in what way to tell them. Today, I am politically persecuted by Zelenskyy.

When I was up to have a speech in the European Parliament, Zelenskyy introduced sanctions for ten years against me. And the European Parliament without explanation took my badge away and banned my entrance. The day before my speech in German Bundestag just this month, Zelenskyy pressed his law enforcement to start treason charges against me.

If I lose the court, I will face from 15 years in prison to life sentence. Apparently, this is the punishment for one my interview. From 15 years in prison to life sentence for one interview – this is democracy of Zelenskyy, a face of Europe’s democracy we are told…

Both Sherrod Brown (Ohio) and Adam Hamilton (Kansas) won by running on reproductive freedom. Oops!

@ejpreston @JoshPhillipsPhD EJ you're not speaking for the people and you're not reflective of them broadly either.

Unfortunately! We're getting bogged down with silliness here anyway.

I'm open to Josh enlightening me on his views if he wants. If not then no big deal.

@ejpreston @JoshPhillipsPhD I'm not too bothered about the poll.

I think anyone that is more bothered by the poll than the awful shit still going on is telling on themselves.

@ejpreston @JoshPhillipsPhD Unfortunately, just telling the actual fucking truth about what the US has done is apparently Anti American.

Well, sorry but I'm not going to tell lies because other people are deluded.

[Cú Chris (note to self: DO NOT TWEET) @MeAgainCG]

@ejpreston @JoshPhillipsPhD If we're being reductive and focusing on the word deserved then sure but if we're talking about the broader point of your country terrorising people, mass murder, removing their elected leaders, stealing their resources etc then I can see people saying "deserved" in this context.
