I can’t believe Ms Rachel is still asking US lawmakers not to send weapons to kill children, because they’re still sending weapons to kill children.

I suggest listening to this full podcast episode. This man is facing extrajudicial or illegal sanctions and expected to use the law to have them removed. Nobody knows how to help as the sanction will or may move toward them, their families. This is “the way”

[Chris Hedges @ChrisLynnHedges]

In my recent conversation with @hussedogru, he broke down the institutional pressures on journalists and media outlets to spin the genocide in Gaza in a manner favorable to Israel. The potential for punishment — such as the German government's sanctioning and de-banking of him — has imposed an omnipresent possibility of severe punishment, cultivating a culture of paranoid self-censorship in the media.

The entire US economy right now is 7 companies sending a trillion fake dollars back and forth to each other

ASLA UNUTMA!

İsrail askerlerinin doktor kılığına girerek Filistin hastanesine girip insanları öldürdüğünü asla unutmayın.

Bu terörizm ve savaş suçudur.

They exported the brutality.
They kept the dividends.

And for a while, a long, comfortable, self-congratulatory while, it worked.

The living standards rose.
The suburbs expanded.
The malls opened.
The television got bigger.
The credit got cheaper.
The supermarket added another aisle.

Nobody asked where it came from.

That was the arrangement.

You don't ask where it comes from and we won't make you watch.

But here is what they didn't tell you:

Plunder is not a sustainable economic model.

It is a loan taken against the future, against the periphery, against the ecosystems, against the people whose resources were extracted and whose labor was cheapened to keep your prices low.

And loans come due.

The rot you see now in Western institutions, the hollowed-out political parties, the captured media, the universities producing debt and credentials instead of thought, the infrastructure falling apart while the defense budget grows, this is not decay from outside.

This is the bill.

The empire sent the brutality abroad and thought it had kept "the good part."

It kept the rot.

The brutality was always coming home.

It just took a few generations to arrive.

Tony Blinken got the notoriously murderous Netzah Yehuda Battalion off the hook when the US threatened to sanction them for killing an elderly US citizen

Without evidence, Blinken announced the battalion had been “effectively remediated”

And here’s the proof he lied

[S p r i n t e r @SprinterPress]

The USA is conducting the largest logistical operation in its history - a statistical analysis.

This 30-second video shows the US air logistical activity in West Asia over the past seven days alone (accelerated by 20,000 times). At the same time, such activity has been ongoing around the clock for 76 days.

We are talking about the largest airlift in US military history, which surpasses even the operation during the Iraq war in 2003 in its scale. Such a volume of cargo transfers far exceeds the usual replenishment of supplies.

All US strategic warehouses in the region are almost fully loaded and continue to be brought to their maximum capacity.

The US army is not spending billions of dollars on empty threats or demonstrative maneuvers. All this indicates preparation for a preemptive, paralyzing strike and, possibly, the start of a ground operation.

@FinancialPhys I often think about how many people spend at least 40 hrs a week planning to plan war. Seeking death squads in foreign lands or designing weapons systems, or stirring some tin pot and such. I imagine a lot more than I can attempt to say out loud.

To the last Ukrainian: Yet another video of forced mobilization in my native Lutsk in Western Ukraine. There is blackout of such videos by Western media because they derail propaganda & disinformation by Western governments & media to justify continuation of unwinnable proxy war.

[Asa Winstanley @AsaWinstanley]

This is really incredible footage. Very senior Israeli police authorities on the morning of October 7th explicitly calling for the Hannibal Directive to be enacted on “the soldiers who got abducted”.

As we know, it wasn’t only soldiers who got captured that day.

Did you know we have troops in combat in Haiti, a country we have destroyed with our military for over 100 years?

Russian troops advancing in Ukraine discovering "USAID" signs on buildings as they go.

The full scale of the US states involvement in the illegal coup, and subsequent instalation of an illegal, radical Government in Ukraine, may never be revealed.

Every time I spoke on the BBC and uttered the word genocide, the host rushed to dismiss its very legitimacy. Each one of them has blood on their hands.

[Max Blumenthal @MaxBlumenthal]

Israeli soldiers are doing yoga to heal from the trauma of the "world reaction" to the genocide they committed in Gaza

Literal downward dogs
