Israel has ‘disappeared’ nearly 400,000 Palestinians in Gaza since 2023.

Half of them are children.

Buried beneath rubble.
Dumped in mass graves.
Erased.

Harvard has now confirmed what we’ve been screaming into a deaf world:

This is a holocaust — and it’s still happening.

While almost everyone has fallen for Netanyahu's ploy of focusing on Iranian-US-Israeli air strikes, Israel has been intensifying its genocide. For the sake of humanity, ALL EYES ON GAZA! https://t.co/53t2BUWKsF

"Treguas moribundas", así está hecho el supuesto orden internacional de hoy. Ficciones para tapar la realidad de un orden basado en reglas quebrado por sus propios fundadores. Pacificadores con luces de misiles. De fondo, la oscuridad inmensa.

Thread🧵 In light of Iran's allegations about WhatsApp sharing user location data with Israel, it's important to understand how deep Israeli intelligence penetration of big tech firms goes.

I've been working on this topic for 4 years. Here's what I found.

La forma en cómo este académico exhibe a una “periodista” es épica.

El final es hermoso: “al menos tengan algo de integridad”.

Muchas lecciones para periodistas en todo el mundo que se dedican, más que a informar, a mentir.

The United States, that "beacon of democracy", has intervened in 128 elections since 1946 to shape political outcomes in their own interests.

Netanyahu started this war by attacking Iran.

He assassinated Ali Shamkhani, Iran’s lead nuclear negotiator, deliberately sabotaging US-Iran nuclear negotiations.

The US must not be dragged into another illegal Netanyahu war – either militarily or financially.

Wealthy nations built their economies by extracting from the Global South — yet still fail to pay their climate debt.​

They let corporations pollute and withhold promised funds from those hit hardest.​

It’s time for justice.​

Just a reminder that the West destroyed Iran’s progressive democracy in 1953, deposing a leader beloved of the people, and installed a dictatorship in his place. The US and UK have been terrorising that country for as long as any of us have been alive. It���s sick.

Thanks in particular to all the activists who gave up their time to be interviewed.

Our team also put together this short video that talks through our findings.

Los endeudamientos con el FMI afectan a cómo vivimos durante décadas. Hoy el país sigue pagando las consecuencias del endeudamiento brutal de 45 mil millones de USD con el FMI de 2018 que Caputo usó para reventar en el mercado cambiario, dándole salida muy ventajosa a los capitales especulativos que habían construido fortunas con la política de tasas de interés que Sturzenegger implementó cuando se acabó el negocio.

Por eso es tan importante que un gobierno de turno tenga que tener autorización del Congreso vía una ley especial para endeudarse con el FMI (Ley 27.612, Art. 2). Que el Congreso vea las condiciones y los usos que se le pretenden dar al endeudamiento, y decida si esa deuda le va a servir a quienes representa: a nuestro pueblo y nuestras provincias.

La verdadera razón por la que Caputo y Milei se quieren saltear al Congreso con un DNU no es la urgencia. Es muy sencillo de entender esto: cuando hay un acuerdo entre el Gobierno y el staff del FMI para un préstamo, pasan cerca de 3 semanas hasta que el directorio del FMI lo aprueba. ¿Cómo es que habría urgencia para eludir al Congreso pero no al directorio del FMI, si se toman el mismo tiempo en definir la aprobación o rechazo del préstamo?

Para entender la verdadera razón, no hace falta más que escuchar la confesión de Caputo: el Gobierno no tiene el apoyo político suficiente en el Senado para tomar más deuda externa para volver a reventarla en el mercado cambiario.

El apoyo político amplio es justamente una de las condiciones que el FMI tiene que considerar como cumplida para poder otorgar un préstamo de la magnitud que el gobierno argentino está pidiendo (criterio de acceso excepcional #4). O sea que si le presta igual al país con Caputo y Milei eludiendo al Congreso por la falta de votos, el FMI prestaría en violación flagrante de sus propias reglas. No debería sorprenderle al @IMFnews que en el futuro el pueblo argentino repudie esa deuda por ilegítima en ese caso.

Para que quienes durante los últimos 15 meses acumularon una potencial fortuna en USD con la bicicleta financiera puedan realizar esas ganancias, solo falta que le vendan los USD (que el Gobierno los conseguiría con este nuevo endeudamiento) para cambiarlos por los activos en pesos que tienen en su cartera; y que después sea el pueblo quien paga la cuenta. En 2024 la pagaron principalmente los jubilados, y en los años que se vienen van a ser sus hijos y nietos.
