Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Incredible stuff here. BCG wasn't just hired to consult on the GHF fiasco. The firm was also asked to "model the costs of 'relocating' Palestinians from Gaza" (in other words, to come up with a price tag for ethnic cleansing)

For years, I’ve been reporting on the chaos caused by Russian paramilitaries who’re linked to massacres and plundering gold & diamonds while communities suffer. I’ve met survivors—mothers, miners, kids—who’ve faced horrors most of us can’t imagine. Their resilience drives me.

@Tg1Rai delle ore 8:00 "A Gaza ci sono stati 60 morti". Punto. E cosa è successo? Proprio perchè non lo so, mi aspetto di sentirlo da chi fa informazione, altrimenti abdica alla propria funzione diventando inutile. Nella migliore delle ipotesi.

I’m proud I told Europe what’s true. The truth is that Russia is attempting to create a migration crisis for Europe by spreading disinformation to encourage Africans to travel through the Mediterranean and by using private militias to control and weaponise immigration into Europe

@PBerizzi Appena visti in un locale vicino alla zona della commemorazione 3 nazisti con toppe delle SS totenkopf sul giubbotto. Ramelli, quel povero ragazzo, è solo una scusa

In Trading Places, Louis Winthorpe’s (Dan Aykroyd) prison number is the same as Jake Blues’ (John Belushi) prison number in The Blues Brothers as a tribute to Belushi, who had died the year before.

@NicolaMelloni @FokkerRheinMet Quindi, capita l'inaffidabilità dell'alleato a ovest e la fine dei patti di mutuo soccorso, sarebbe più saggio per la UE rimanere disarmata perché non c'è da fidarsi... di noi stessi. E poi chi dice che Putin ci attaccherà? Magari no. Una roba insensata, ma detta bene.

Questo è il pezzo di discorso, tenuto a Marsiglia da #Mattarella, che ha fatto arrabbiare i russi come le faine.

Da riproporre a reti unificate.

Da ricondividere a manetta.

Grazie.

I'm releasing a promo trailer on X (Twitter) of the liberation of Kobani, partly recorded by me during the siege as a Berber-Italian internationalist volunteer with the YPG. I was planning to release it to celebrate the 10th anniversary of its liberation, when the city of Kobani was fully recaptured on January 27.

Unfortunately, Turkey is now threatening to invade it with its ISIS-recycled mercenary army, supported by its own armed forces. Meanwhile, the international community seems more concerned with securing good relationships for future trade and energy deals with the HTS-led government in Damascus, where the "rebranded" former ISIS and al-Qaeda leadership has succeeded in deposing the Assad regime. Now, they seek international recognition to establish an Islamic State-lite—at least until they've eliminated every possible opposition.

Turkey's Erdogan has said that the same Kurds who liberated Kobani must either disarm and surrender to HTS or be buried with their weapons. German Foreign Minister @ABaerbock echoed the same, demanding that the YPG and YPJ disarm, while wearing her best dress for a meet-and-greet with Jolani in Damascus.

While for a moment the US troops looked ready to shield the city from Turkey's aggression, the Pentagon clarified that the US has "no plans to build a base in Kobani" in NE Syria. Despite local reports, @DepPentPressSec Sabrina Singh just told reporters she's "not aware" of and "not tracking" any US troop movements or efforts there.

While the world seems to have forgotten what it took to defeat ISIS and now supports another extremist jihadist group, I release this 1:30-minute trailer hoping to remind the world—and hoping that by January 27, Kobani will still be free, along with the rest of Rojava.

Tomorrow still holds hope for a better world.
