@OliverBalogh1@RnaudBertrand RT (at least the American version) had the most substantive and informative programming on TV before it was banned. It was the only place you could find nonpartisan (*non-partisan in an American context) perspectives on geo-politics.
This is properly insane: quite literally the worst example of censorship I've ever heard of anywhere.
I checked the actual ruling (which you can see here: https://t.co/dBKFWZ2ZWm) and, to be clear, it isn't just censorship in the conventional sense - blocking access to a website or removing content from platforms - this is the criminalization of information relayed by private citizens, with prison sentences attached.
And the most insane aspect if that it does NOT matter if the information relayed is accurate or not. It just matters that it originates from RT or other media outlets banned in the EU.
In other words, truth isn't a defense anymore in the EU, it literally doesn't matter. It's purely based on the identity of the speaker.
The ruling is actually explicit about this: the regulation, quoted by the Court says that the prohibition applies to "any content," and they draw no distinction based on what the content actually says. If it originates from banned outlets, it's banned.
It is, quite simply, a complete unraveling of the entire post-Enlightenment legal and philosophical project where entire generations of Europeans fought to move from "who says it" to "is it true" as the operative question.
Think about the absurdity of it: if RT publishes a video saying the sky is blue and you share it on a publicly accessible website in the EU, you'd fall within the scope of this ruling, making you liable to criminal prosecution.
Completely and utterly absurd. But that's the EU today for you 🤷

Don't get me wrong, there's a lot Ana Kasparian can be legitimately criticized for but she has been outspoken in support of Palestine for her entire public life. To this day, she is one of the very FEW on the self-identified "left" who openly affirms the Palestinian & Lebanese people's right under international law to armed resistance. The idea that she just hopped on this band-wagon once it became less risky is just demonstrably false. She's been out here for 20 years pushing the Overton.
@gamzeyaavor@DavidSamuelMay No. What happened on Oct 7, was an armed resistance group committing acts of violence against an occupying force that conscripts its population and embeds military bases in neighborhoods.
#BREAKING 📍Reuben Abramov - Jewish man yelling “Every fucking Palestinian will die,” while shooting a nail gun, just got off. Unbelievable. He’s not charged with uttering threats; no hate motivated offence charges either. Just a $100 victim surcharge. Can you imagine if someone was yelling “All Jews must die,” while shooting a nail gun at Jewish people. They would be in prison.
@hawkman555@ggreenwald Yes, a nuclear armed Iran has always been in the US national interest because it is the only regional power that can keep Israel in check..this was always recognized by the US government before our politician’s were bought out by Israel.
Some common-sense things Trump said today that were nevertheless shocking:
Everybody else has ballistic missiles, why can’t Iran?
The frozen money belonged to Iran, and the U.S. needed to release it otherwise nobody would trust the dollar system. Why should we steal their money?
Neighboring countries use nuclear power for electricity, why can’t Iran?
Israel shouldn’t knock down entire buildings in Beirut every time a drone or two crashes harmlessly in the desert.
Trump would’ve become Herbert Hoover in a few weeks once oil ran out and the market crashed. He had no choice but to end the war.
I spent some time this week digging through the “Harley is woke” posts that have been circulating all over X because it looked to me like a very coordinated paid-influencer push with undisclosed promotions.
That’s when I discovered something even more troubling:
Everything seems to connect back to a FARA-registered agent for Israel.
Buckle in 🧵
I didn’t realize this would be posted, but I’m glad it was. Two hours before I gave my speech honoring the brave sailors on the USS Liberty, I met with about a dozen of them in my office and asked how I could best represent them and those who had perished.
Peace Derangement Syndrome (PDS)
Primarily associated with chickenhawks who have never experienced a shot fired in anger & who would never, under any circumstances, go to war themselves.
Please give @warfareanalysis a follow and a boost.
They are disciplined, have put in tremendous work, and consistently document the news they don't want you to see— the news mainstream media ignores.
The shadowban is proof.
Just days after news broke that the National Defense Authorization Act for next year would virtually merge the US and Israeli militaries, we now are hearing that the Intelligence Authorization Act is doing the same thing with the US Intelligence Community!
Introduced by Sen. Tom Cotton, the provision would rip open our nation's secrets and hand them over to a foreign country - one that has just been accused of ramping up its spying on us!
Isn't there a name for this?
Watch @RonPaul & @DanielLMcAdams below:
US states and municipalities are putting politics above the needs of our communities by buying Israel Bonds.
Israel Bonds are inferior to other comparable investments in several key ways, so when State Treasurers invest taxpayer dollars in these sub-par bonds, it begs the question: Just why do our elected officials care more about supporting the Israeli military and government than they do about our families and neighbors?

The OLDEST CHRISTIAN village in the world is burning.
Taybeh, Palestine.
The last 100% Christian Palestinian village, where Christ resurrected Lazarus, build the Church of St. Michael.
