The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.

The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.

Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.

If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

@DailyMail A new Oct 7 “report” hyped by Murdoch and authored by notorious scammer Cochav Elakayam-Levy, whom Israeli media exposed for fleecing donors, spreading fake Hamas atrocity tales, and failing to deliver on her promise of a major report about sexual violence https://t.co/OoXwhHTKRg

[Ben Marmarelli بن مرمريلي בן מרמרלי @mrmrly44557]

A very serious investigation has been published in @nytimes about rape and sexual violence carried out by the authorities in Israel. I am also quoted in this article as one of many, many people who provided accounts to this newspaper, which is considered extremely pro-Israeli.
In response, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs wrote that these are antisemitic “blood libels.” It is clear that the reports already published by Al Jazeera in 2024, and by me in 2025 when the BBC censored and deleted the interview with me, are true.
People simply need to listen to Palestinians. But the world does not listen to Palestinians. It only listens when it is written in The New York Times — and now it is written there.

not to be a bitter dutch person, but this is literally when the competition died. after joost was disqualified for NOTHING (because it was confirmed he essentially didn’t even do anything), the competition has become a soulless mess, purely here to please israel.

Scam Altman and Greg Stockman stole a charity. Full stop.

Greg got tens of billions of stock for himself and Scam got dozens of OpenAI side deals with a piece of the action for himself, Y Combinator style. After this lawsuit, Scam will also be awarded tens of billions in stock directly.

The fundamental question is simply this:

Do you want to set legal precedent in the United States that it is ok to loot a charity? If so, you undermine all charitable giving in the United States forever.

I could have started OpenAI as a for-profit corporation. Instead, I started it, funded it, recruited critical talent and taught them everything I know about how to make a startup successful FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD.

Then they stole the charity.

🇫🇷🇮🇱 French MP Mathilde Panot:

"Netanyahu is annexing South Lebanon, colonizing the West Bank, and committing genocide in Gaza.

What is France doing? Nothing.

Yet, it has imposed 19 rounds of sanctions against Putin and his violations of international law.

This double standard is outrageous."

There is a region in southeastern Spain called Almería. If you pull it up on satellite imagery, you will assume the screen has glitched. A vast, blinding white scab where a landscape used to be.

It's not a glitch. It's 64,000 acres of plastic greenhouses. So much plastic sheeting that it is, genuinely, visible from space. The entire region has been wrapped in industrial farming film to grow tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and lettuce for European supermarkets in January.

The plastic has created its own microclimate. The reflective surface is so vast it has measurably lowered local temperatures by bouncing sunlight back into the atmosphere. Scientists have a name for it. The Albedo effect of Almería. The only place on earth where human activity has cooled the local climate, and they did it by accident, while building the world's largest open-air plastic factory.

The plastic itself is single-use agricultural film. It sits in UV light for three to five years, degrades into microplastics, blows into the Mediterranean, and ends up in the ocean and the soil. Every year, 45,000 tonnes of plastic waste is generated just from replacing degraded greenhouse covering. Every year. Just the covering.

Inside, workers from Morocco and sub-Saharan Africa labour in 45°C heat for €30 a day. No contracts. No rights. Spraying crops with pesticides at concentrations that would be illegal on outdoor fields. Ventilation: minimal. Chemical exposure: constant. The aubergine looks lovely.

The groundwater underneath Almería is so contaminated with agricultural runoff that it has been declared unusable. The region now imports water from elsewhere in Spain while sitting on top of a poisoned aquifer it created. The land that was meant to feed Europe more efficiently has become a place that needs water flown in to keep the show running.

And this is what supplies your fresh vegetables in January. Grown in plastic factories. By exploited workers. Using groundwater they have already destroyed. Wrapped in more plastic. Shipped across Europe. Refrigerated the whole way. So a person in Manchester can have a tomato in February that tastes of nothing.

But sure. Cattle grazing on Scottish hills are the environmental problem.

Pull the satellite up. Have a look. Then tell me which system is the one that needs explaining.

آمریکا به ایجاد خشکسالی عمدی در ایران اعتراف کرد.
کارشناس آب و هوایی امریکا :
۱۸ عدد از رادارهایی را که ایران در منطقه نابود کرده است ، تنها رادارهای نظامی موشکی و ضدهوایی نبودند بلکه ، برخی از آنها رادارهای موسوم به هواشناسی برای دور کردن ابرهای بارانی در منطقه جغرافیایی ایران بودند.
بعدازهدف قراردادن وتخریب کامل این رادارخانه ها که در اربیل عراق و امارات عربی بوده فضا رو برای ورود ابرهای باران زا و هوای مطلوب به ایران بازکردند!
یعنی از سال ۸۰ که حدود ۲۵ سال است در ایران باران کم می بارید و برفی نمی بار��د و خشکسالی بود در اصل اثر مغناطیسی و سیستم (هارپ) دشمن با مردم عزیز ایران بوده و جنگ آب و غذا و جنگ بیولوژیکی، قحطی درست کرده بودند.

BREAKING: A Catholic priest unleashes a viral takedown of Donald Trump after he attacked Pope Leo and posted an image of himself as Jesus Christ healing a sick man.

This is an absolute must-read for every American...

"You are only a man @realDonaldTrump, and someday you will stand before our Lord Jesus Christ. You claim our Holy Father @Pontifex is weak, but it takes more strength to do what one should rather than simply what one wants," Father Joseph DeMarzo of the Diocese of Paterson, New Jersey wrote on X.

"You intervened in Venezuela under the pretext of stopping drugs and criminals from entering our country, and under Nicolás Maduro you described the regime in terms of narco-terrorism," he continued. "My qualm is the name games you play. Do you think you can simply legitimize actions by denoting terminology to suit your interest? This you did."

"In the same way, you and Benjamin Netanyahu undermine the true meaning of justice through continued acts of unconscionable war crimes, all in the name of 'self-defense,'" Father DeMarzo continued. "But with the Lord, there will be no altering of words and their meaning; all that will be left is the truth of what really happened."

"You call the Holy Father weak because he calls for peace? What is weak is bombing children in Gaza in the name of national interest," he wrote "What is weak is saying this is God’s country, yet by your actions you act as an enemy of the cross."

Father DeMarzo went on to question Trump's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly Operation Warp Speed and the vaccines. He said that "questions and debates" remain about the vaccines and while we don't agree with that assessment, it was Trump who brought up COVID protocols during his attack on Leo. And, as DeMarzo pointed out, Trump was president when COVID hit.

"Inspired by Christian charity, I implore you, repent," the priest wrote. "We are Christ first, not MAGA first. Our first allegiance is to God and His Kingdom. Are you God first or MAGA first? If God first, why do some of your actions betray that truth? If you come after the Church and the Holy Father @Pontifex_de, don’t think I’ll be silent. I only fear God."

Please ❤️ and share if you stand with Pope Leo!

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Our world needs men and women of faith who thirst for justice and unity. In the face of a humanity yearning for fraternity and reconciliation, it is a great gift and a sacred duty for us to declare with conviction that we are always united as brothers and sisters, children of the one God! #ApostolicJourney #Algeria

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The future belongs to men and women of peace. Justice will always triumph over injustice in the end, just as violence will never have the last word, despite all appearances. #ApostolicJourney #Algeria https://t.co/Jp7UTUWUzj

Today I’ve been remembering the depth of Tom’s smile. It’s hard to find words that capture its essence - intelligent, kind, curious, mischievous and empathetic - similar to the faces of countless young Palestinian men shot by Israel

Did you know Britain signed a military agreement with Israel in 2020 and we're never allowed to know what's in it?

It may commit us to "mutual self-defence"

It may explain the spy missions we flew for Israel during its genocidal campaign in Gaza

We need to know what's in it
