Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

One year on. Hundreds of thousands are dying or dead, millions are displaced, the Middle East is undergoing its greatest changes in a generation, Iran has directly attacked Israel twice in one year, and Yemen has proven that the US Navy ain't worth shit. We are the closest we have been to nuclear war (discounting accidents) in decades, but also the fall of Israel.

Because one day, the prisoners of a concentration camp paraglided over a wall.

Israel-Palestine Conflict

If you have evidence of Israeli crimes and atrocities that you wish to preserve, there is a thread here in which to do so.

Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:

UNRWA reports on Israel's destruction and siege of Gaza and the West Bank.

English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account. Alt here.
English-language twitter account that collates news.
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon. - Telegram is @IbnRiad.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis. - Telegram is @EyesOnSouth.
English-language Twitter account in the same group as the previous two. - Telegram here.

English-language PalestineResist telegram channel.
More telegram channels here for those interested.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict

Sources:

Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
Simplicius, who publishes on Substack. Like others, his political analysis should be soundly ignored, but his knowledge of weaponry and military strategy is generally quite good.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists' side.

Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.

Pro-Russian Telegram Channels:

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

https://t.me/aleksandr_skif ~ DPR's former Defense Minister and Colonel in the DPR's forces. Russian language.
https://t.me/Slavyangrad ~ A few different pro-Russian people gather frequent content for this channel (~100 posts per day), some socialist, but all socially reactionary. If you can only tolerate using one Russian telegram channel, I would recommend this one.
https://t.me/s/levigodman ~ Does daily update posts.
https://t.me/patricklancasternewstoday ~ Patrick Lancaster's telegram channel.
https://t.me/gonzowarr ~ A big Russian commentator.
https://t.me/rybar ~ One of, if not the, biggest Russian telegram channels focussing on the war out there. Actually quite balanced, maybe even pessimistic about Russia. Produces interesting and useful maps.
https://t.me/epoddubny ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/boris_rozhin ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/mod_russia_en ~ Russian Ministry of Defense. Does daily, if rather bland updates on the number of Ukrainians killed, etc. The figures appear to be approximately accurate; if you want, reduce all numbers by 25% as a 'propaganda tax', if you don't believe them. Does not cover everything, for obvious reasons, and virtually never details Russian losses.
https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses ~ Pro-Russian, documents abuses that Ukraine commits.

Pro-Ukraine Telegram Channels:

Almost every Western media outlet.
https://discord.gg/projectowl ~ Pro-Ukrainian OSINT Discord.
https://t.me/ice_inii ~ Alleged Ukrainian account with a rather cynical take on the entire thing.

Interesting piece on Phenomenal World: Adaptation in the Sanctioned Economy: Domestic manufacturing, overcapacity, and the limits of Iran’s economic resilience , it shows how despite the belief that sanctions resilience is entirely a matter of state capacity and state policy Iran's private sector actually invested a TON to fill the space left by foreign manufactured products, like washing machines, to the point where they're even building too much of this stuff so the government can be faulted for not influencing these sectors to allocate capital appropriately.

Also interesting is how these big private firms believe that they can actually do well in the sanctions environment, so they lobby the government AGAINST lifting import bans even if economic sanctions are also lifted, so there's another point against the american sanctions regime as a useful behavior changing tool even by its own terms.

BREAKING: Some top House Democrats won't commit to certifying a Trump unless the result was “a fair, free election”, per Axios

Representative Raskin told Axios in an interview that if Trump "won a free, fair and honest election, then we would obviously accept it." He was asked if he assumes a Trump victory would be free, fair and honest, however, Raskin said: "I definitely don't assume that.” Raskin added that: "Democrats don't engage in election fraud and election fabrication."

Today marks 25th years since portuguese communist writer Jose Saramago won the Nobel prize in literature, don't know if they ever gave the award to anyone else as based as him but it's pretty cool. I've read a few of his books in audio form they're very interesting

Here's a quote from when he visited Palestine

During the Second Intifada, while visiting Ramallah in March 2002, Saramago said that "what is happening in Palestine is a crime we can put on the same plane as what happened at Auschwitz ... A sense of impunity characterizes the Israeli people and its army. They have turned into rentiers of the Holocaust." In an essay he wrote expanding on his views, Saramago wrote of Jews: "educated and trained in the idea that any suffering that has been inflicted . . . on everyone else . . . will always be inferior to that which they themselves suffered in the Holocaust, the Jews endlessly scratch their own wound to keep it bleeding, to make it incurable, and they show it to the world as if it were a banner."

Will Gaza being completely destroyed and covered in debris which will take decades to clean up mean remaining Palestinians be forced out of there (by blocking construction materials) once this ethnic cleansing campaign ends?

Norm is pessimistic but I don't think he is completely wrong.

What is this I keep seeing about Russia wanting to put DPRK soldiers in Ukraine. Is there any truth to that, or is it just the West spreading Fake News because the DPRK is sending observers to the front?

I'm watching the series "Big Love". A scene made me sigh because it's so much at lib efforts to downplay the genocide in Gaza and now the expanded war in Lebanon. Libs continue to demand people don't trust their own eyes and trust lib rhetoric and nonsense instead. The libs are stuck because with each passing day the evidence piles up but they are heavily invested in their pretense so they sound crazier and crazier.

Bill Paxton plays a polygamist with three wives who is also named Bill. He's an expert at hiding reality. People think he has only one wife. One of his employees confides something to him. She suspects his business partner and best friend to be a polygamist. This is a dangerous situation for Bill. The future of his friend's family, his family, and their business could be at stake.

She must be convinced that what she knows to be true is wrong. They are sitting in his office. Bill calls her accurate accusations "unsavory". Then stands up to show her the conversation is over and he shuts her down.

"But I know what I saw."

"What you saw was an action. But you didn't necessarily see the label you're putting on it."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Exactly. There you are."

🔴 The enemy army is using UNIFIL troops as human shields for their attempted attempted into Lebanon

[–] Wertheimer@hexbear.net 57 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Oil companies are very angry at this bill now headed for a vote in the California assembly. There are anti-ABX2-1 advertisements all over, which seems unusual for something that isn't a proposition being put to voters, and the Chevron gas station nearest to me has big signs at every pump saying that California lawmakers are conspiring to raise prices at the pump - scan the QR code to fight back! (Or, you know, drivers could go to the gas station one block away, the one that isn't Chevron and is always at least 30 cents cheaper per gallon.)

What does the bill do? Apparently it requires oil refineries to keep a minimum inventory level and wants the Independent Consumer Fuels Advisory Committee to include one member who "represent[s] a labor organization with experience in refinery operations."

The pressure campaign appears to be working, at least somewhat, as multiple Democratic assemblyschmucks have withdrawn support and several abstained in the State Senate committee vote that passed today. Since it's "Newom's bill" he might not veto it. Or will he? Certainly sounds like something he'd do. Stay tuned?

I stopped paying attention to the presidential elections for obvious reasons, apparently the current story is that Trump is promising to unleash the alien and sedition act to round up foreigners. Due to American being a common law country, we may have camps by next christmas.

The enemies' psychological warfare fronts are pushing lies and that is coming at cost of giving themselves away.

MiddleEastEye, a news agency which some might have mistakenly saw as pro-Resistance because of its pro-Palestine publishings have just published an exclusive article claiming this:

Esmail Qaani, the leader of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard’s elite Quds Force, is alive and unhurt but under guard and being questioned as Iran investigates major security breaches, multiple sources have told Middle East Eye.

Qaani has not been seen in public since Israel killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in a massive air strike on Beirut on 27 September, an event that rocked the anti-Israel Axis of Resistance alliance.

Ten sources in Tehran, Beirut and Baghdad, including senior Shia figures and sources close to Hezbollah and in the IRGC, told MEE that even Qaani, one of Iran’s most senior generals, and his team are under lockdown as investigators seek answers.

Qaani had came to Hezbullah's office in Tehran among many others after Nasrallah's martyrdom and also recently he had a short interview over phone call on the national TV.

But the bullshit doesn't stop there and Sky News Arabia adds to it by saying he had an heart attack under the interrogation.

centrist

And of course, the Zionist news agencies like JPost and Iran International quickly published articles citing MiddleEastEye.

So, who funds this news agency anyway? I don't know, but BBC says they are funded by Qatar.

This graph shows annual expenditure by the american federal government on debt interest service and how it's more than doubled since 2020. 2020 saw a good amount of additional debt for covid relief, but much more important, the interest rate has spiked since then. all this money goes somewhere, to bond holders, which tend to be the same capitalist interests that own the vast majority of shit. recall that in 2008, under obama, TARP funding was a "one time" dump of $700b. in effect, the increase in interest servicing since 2020 is an annual TARP sized amount of funding that is now baked into the system because of higher interest rates. @xiaohongshu@hexbear.net has posted about this kind of thing before I believe
