@SkyNews Well done Sky. Good coverage of Gaza today. Please stay on it going forward.

[Mason @jpamason1]

@SkyNews Another day. Again no coverage of Gaza. You must do better. Forget your competition with GBNews & other news networks. You have a duty. A duty to record the events that the BBC world is currently doing. You did poorly with your inaccurate Amsterdam coverage. Do better.

Pogroms in Amsterdam! 😱

After Trump ordered the assassination of General Soleimani, an Iranian cleric complained that Iran can't even really retaliate because the US doesn't have any real heroes of its own like Soleimani, saying "Think about it. Are we supposed to take out Spider-Man and SpongeBob?"

I've never seen a more incisive and withering critique of western culture, and I probably never will. It's such an accurate statement and paints such a clear picture of what this civilization is really like that it's hard to imagine how anyone could possibly top it.

There are no real heroes with popular support in the western empire, because everything that's truly heroic gets stomped down here, and everything that gets amplified to popularity is either vapid distraction or directly facilitates the interests of the evil empire.

Our own generals are busy butchering civilians for oil and geostrategic control.

Our military personnel are imperial stormtroopers.

Our police are the security guards of capitalism.

Our most prominent journalists are all propagandists.

Our most prominent celebrities are famous because of their ability to pretend to be fictional characters doing fake things in Hollywood movies.

Our most prominent artists are famous for their ability to churn out formulaic pop songs about empty-headed bullshit.

Our most widely recognized symbols are corporate logos.

Our most highly regarded professionals are those who can sell westerners the most future landfill manufactured by wage slaves in the global south.

Our most well-known government leaders are those who've sold their souls to oligarchs and imperialists and can lie to the public most convincingly.

The only westerners doing truly heroic things here get thrown in prison, or murdered, or pushed into obscurity, because the only truly heroic thing anyone can do in today's world is to take a stand against the western empire.

Those who bravely resist the US war machine or make themselves inconvenient for the rulers of the western empire don't get to become popular heroes. You don't see the westerners who work to stop weapons shipments to Gaza being celebrated for their efforts on CNN and the BBC. You don't see antiwar activists getting Hollywood movies made about their work — at least not until the wars they were protesting lie safely in the distant past. You don't see journalists who work to expose the most egregious crimes of the empire being elevated to fame and fortune.

The only figures who get elevated to fame and fortune in this fake plastic dystopia are those who either actively serve the interests of the empire or who passively distract people from its abuses. Donald Trump. The Kardashians. Taylor Swift. Spider-Man and SpongeBob.

Those are the only heroes we're allowed to have here in any major way. You can have real heroes if you want, but if you tell the average westerner their names the first word out of their mouth will be, "Who?"

Every once in a great while someone will sneak past the many security checkpoints into fame and begin opposing the empire, but they are always quickly demonized and marginalized by the imperial perception managers. And for every Roger Waters or Susan Sarandon, there are a thousand imposter heroes making themselves extremely convenient for the rulers of the western empire.

This is the civilization we live in. A mind-controlled wasteland where everything is fake and stupid. The only path toward fulfillment and inner peace in such a dystopia is to dedicate yourself to tearing it down, brick by plastic brick.

Al Jazeera has uncovered evidence that the Israeli military is using Palestinian civilians as human shields in Gaza.

@AIPAC The war ends today if Israel ends the occupation, the illegal settlements, recognises its international borders, ends home demolitions, releases the thousands of hostages and prisoners.

@URCOfficial_RSA @Vodacom What was the crowd attendance? Can never find it for any of the games. Can this not be something to post up each week, either here or on your website. Maybe it is and I can just never find it...

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

A child mowed down by an Israeli snipper, then passers by who tried to help bombed. That's what a war crime looks like. No one can now claim they did not know when the reckoning comes. No one!

[Mason @jpamason1]

@AnnaJonesSky Anna. Great show but your interview with Gerard filitti - terrible. He was completely unchallenged by you. Will Israel finally address the cause of the conflict.End the illegal occupation. Finally recognise Palestine as Hamas recognises the existence of Israel. Etc

@Mickskinz @JanDebates @TheNorfolkLion @Tesco Mick. Good tweet

@KayBurley Kay. Great show. Re UK military assisting defence of Israel. Can you not ask the military spokesmen. There must be legal issues here. Were servicemen briefed on legalities of the operation? Effectively protecting a nation facing the ICC for multiple crimes.

[Mason @jpamason1]

@JohnHealey_MP @yoavgallant John. There are legal issues here. Were servicemen briefed on legalities of the operation? Effectively protecting Israel, a nation facing the ICC for mass killings, ethnic cleansing, creation of humanitarian crisis, using hunger as a weapon. Youre using and abusing the military

[Mason @jpamason1]

@Keir_Starmer Prime Minister. Did any British servicemen refuse to assist in Israel's defence last night? Were any servicemen briefed on the legalities of the operation? The consequences of protecting a nation in front of the ICC for mass killings and the creation of a humanitarian crisis?

[Mason @jpamason1]

@JohnHealey_MP John. Did any servicemen refuse to assist this operation? Were any servicemen briefed on the legalities of the operation? Were they informed that protecting a nation currently In front of the ICC for mass killings and the creation of a humanitarian crisis may have consequences?

Kidnapping: Alize van der Merwe rented a white Toyota Fortuner (Registration: LX73KLGP) from Hertz Vehicle Hire and departed from East Londen, travelling alone on the N2 towards Umngazi Resort, yesterday.

Her last communication with her family was around 11:30 when she mentioned she was planning to stop, likely at the Shell Ultra City in Mthatha (N2).

At approximately 15:13, the family received a call informing them that Alize had been kidnapped.

No further details were provided.
