Ukraine's Yeltsin-esque kompromat wars between competing clans heating up to new levels. All clans are guilty of corruption, starting with the Zelensky Clan, so the question is how long can this be waged in public & which clan will be felled hardest.

⚡️ NEW UPDATE: Israeli Guards Beat Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya Again, Keep Him in Solitary Confinement and Deny Him Adequate Medical Care

“Do everything possible to get me out of this place,” Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya told lawyers during a July 14 visit at Israel’s underground Rakefet detention facility, according to Physicians for Human Rights Israel.

Abu Safiya said prison guards beat him again following his previous legal visit on July 2, leaving his hand bruised. He has remained alone in solitary confinement since that visit and is being denied adequate medical care despite his injured hand and a visible problem with his right eye.

He underwent an X-ray but was never told the results. His pain medication was later discontinued, while Israeli authorities have refused to provide PHRI with his medical records or allow an independent physician to examine him.

The legal visit itself offered no privacy. Abu Safiya was concealed from his lawyers behind an opaque partition and forced to communicate by telephone while masked prison guards remained close enough to hear the conversation.

The director of Kamal Adwan Hospital has been imprisoned without charge or trial since December 2024 after refusing to abandon his patients. PHRI demanded his immediate release, an end to his solitary confinement, his transfer out of the underground facility, and independent medical and legal examinations.

Wow. The ICE shooter in Maine asked his ex-wife to "lie" & "cover for his character."

She said he was abusive & had previously reported concerns to his military superiors.

He was also a volunteer firefighter — but was removed after spats with leadership.https://t.co/CHNg6vyC4b

A culture of debate and engagement can be good so long as you uphold your principles. But left-liberals refuse to engage in direct discussion or debate with those they deem to be problematic. The problem with this rule is twofold: left-liberals end up applying it far too widely, it gets applied to individuals and groups where it isn't true, i.e., the person does not qualify as a reactionary but is more accurately working things out or confused etc. And secondly, this rule ends up penalizing those on the left that decide to engage in debate with groups in a sincere way.

What this all amounts to is a left-liberalism built on ascetic puritanism and a self-righteous attitude that is incapable of self-critique. In this way, left-liberalism becomes a class project of the upper middle class as these attitudes reflect the in-built desire (unconscious of course) to maintain the status quo and not to challenge the existing order of things.

I will admit I’m continually shocked how little anyone is discussing OpenAI’s direct risk to the future of Oracle - especially as Oracle stock is so crucial to the paramount/WBD closing in September!
