Janet Yellen is asked "How concerned are you about the long term status of the dollar?" The US Treasury Department sign immediately falls off.

For the 32nd year in a row, the United Nations votes overwhelmingly to end the US embargo on Cuba. The vote today was 187-2.

Ansarallah says do not vote for Trump or Harris:
https://xcancel.com/Seamus_Malek/status/1851871758200246345

"Trump's danger is not limited to the outside world, but also to America itself, and he may be the cause of its destruction, but it is not appropriate for the Muslims of America to embrace his election so that they are not the deciding vote for his victory. It is preferable for them to abstain from voting for either candidate because both of them are linked to destructive projects for humanity, whether they are bloody or contrary to nature."

There's a lady on tiktok that comes up for me very often and she sets off my psyops alarm bells every time.

https://www.tiktok.com/@openbookshelf

She shows up for me often and has nominally soft socialist-adjacent criticisms of power, authority, current government, wealth, landlords, even anti-monarchism and anti-cop, etc etc etc. But when it comes to the biggest issues? The issues of anti-imperialism? She falls on the side of nato EVERY.SINGLE.TIME.

She's a pretty lady, whose brand is basically a caricature of Britishness, she pulls off the British librarian caricature that I can only describe as like Rachel Weisz in The Mummy. Is almost always seen with a mug of tea in her hand and if it wouldn't make it too obvious I think they'd throw the British Union Jack flag in every video but instead they keep that to only a few.

It's like she's tailor-made to suck people in to a kind of up your arse intellectualism that then redirects any potential anti-establishment or revolutionary energy into fucking uselessness.

The biggest giveaway here however is that she worked in China until recently, for the Chinese government she claims, for 3 years. Yet she calls the party by the shibboleth CCP and regularly performs anti-China propaganda unprompted, like it's a job. She does not promote other left accounts. She does not promote events. She exists solely as a sheepdog.

This strategy is what I think should be called "de-influencer", the goal is to stick people into the left that appear left and have a great media image that's attractive and easily something people can be sucked in by, and to use that to suck air out of the sails of real leftist influence in online platforms.

I'm telling you, this woman is a cop. GCHQ, Scotland Yard, MI, some branch of Civil Service, maybe military, I don't know. But she's one of them.

The fact that she stopped working in China at the exact moment in time China cracked down on western agents within their government makes me think she was pulled out because it got dangerous.

Jesus christ, bill Clinton gave an incredibly pro genocide speech

Edit:

How many civilians should Israel kill? “I am sorry but we are not keeping score that way.”

He literally did the Hexbear post

Pour one out for the needle

Hitler wasn't elected, he was appointed chancellor by the lesser evil candidate.

Kamala has vowed to have a Republican in her cabinet.

These two statements have absolutely no relation whatsoever.

Back online after two weeks of taking care of irl stuff. Random disconnected thoughts incoming:

• Aunt and her kids have successfully left Lebanon into Syria and then into Iraq, very happy with that. Thank God for the Iraqis, we're forever indebted to them for just how extraordinarily generous they've been with the refugees. Fuck the Egyptians for not even doing 0.1% of that for the people of Gaza.

• Son is already nearly four months old. Very nice kid tbh, not too many sleepless nights so far.

• Damn the Ukraine war is progressing very fast now, I don't even have time to learn the names of the villages anymore. Cursed town Ugledar might have been the glue that held together Ukraine's defence in the south-east. Nonstop collapse since Ugledar fell and now we are looking at the first big Russian arrow since the first weeks of the war. South Donetsk is done if Russia reach Andriivka, that entire Kurakhove corner will fall in matter of weeks. Very interesting developments on the Oskol sector as well, don't understand why Ukraine is letting their east Kupyansk grouping get pinned towards the river and not withdrawing behind a very defensible river line.

• I don't believe the reports about any ceasefire whether in Lebanon or Gaza. The Doha talks about Gaza are just a last ditch effort to provide a "peace in the Middle East" boost for Kamala, there's little real substance there. Same with the Lebanon negotiations, there's no incentive for any side here. Israel continue their forever war, Americans sell guns, Iranians have an excuse to lob missiles at Israel whenever they want now and Hezbollah are inflicting record damage on IDF losers.

• Help me out Hexxies, who will win the election? My instincts say it's big wet Donnie, but idk these days. How are the polls looking? I read reddit and in their world Kamala will win every single state, while right wings dumbasses on Twitter say that NY is a swing state.

Bernie Sanders uploaded a video on his YouTube channel about voting for Kamala even if you’re upset by her position on the genocide. He says “Israel has a right to defend itself” in the first ten seconds.

JUST IN: milei fired his Foreign Minister because she voted in favour of lifting the blockade on Cuba at the recent UN assembly.

Another extreme lula L

Lula doesn't endorse an arms embargo on israel

Richard Spencer just endorsed Kamala lol
Said his single issue is continuing the war in Ukraine

Israel has killed more journalists in Gaza in one year (170) than all the journalists killed in WW2 (67) and the Vietnam War (68) combined.

Anonymous Submission to North Shore Counter-Info

Earlier this week a group of people sabotaged Gastops’ factory in Ottawa, the only place in the world where engine sensors are produced for Lockheed’s F-35 combat jets — including the ones dropping 2,000 pound bombs on Gaza. We cut the wiring inside all of the heat pumps on the Gastops roof, locked them out with official Ministry of Health and Safety lock-out tags, shut off the gas, broke the handles for their systems, and cut the lines to their backup communication system on the way out.

The following letter and photos were left on site:

It’s worth noting that we disabled their heat pumps as it begins to get cold here in Ottawa and as displaced people in Gaza and Lebanon plead with us to help them secure shelter, blankets, clothing, as they freeze in displacement camps. Earlier this month an Ottawa neighbour lost her uncle while he returned to his home in Gaza attempting to bring back blankets for the children so they would not freeze to death. He was murdered by air strike while doing so, likely by an F-35 that Gastops supplies parts to.

People growing tired of politicians continuing to support the slaughter of civilians in Palestine and Lebanon will continue to escalate actions seeking peace and an end to these war crimes.

There are kids in Gaza who are like 6 years old but they aged 50 years in mere days. The heavy toll on their mental health cannot be measured, it's shattered, they are not only not having a normal infancy, they're living and growing in genocidal conditions... I can't even begin to comprehend what goes through their heads, how are they even able to process and make sense of what they do and what they've seen. I'm afraid the damage and the suffering they go through will give them company for the rest of their lives. May they find hope, love and solidarity within their community.

death to "israel" and death to everyone who is complicit of this. Anger, hate and violence against zionists and their genocide denial allies is not only morally justified... it is also desirable.

Wow, watch StateSpox laugh and make jokes when Matt Lee asks about a UN vote condemning the US embargo on Cuba

Lee: You aware of the vote tomorrow

Miller: I wasn’t tracking this on my bingo card

Lee: How is the US going to vote

Miller: I doubt we’ll be voting to condemn ourselves (laughs)

Lee: Last year of Obama’s presidency you guys abstained, as you probably know it’s basically the entire world votes to condemn it and you and Israel vote against, so do you have anything to say about this yearly display of international isolation

Miller: I don’t (smirks)

Kata'ib Hezbollah [Islamic Resistance in Iraq] military official Abu Ali al-Askari on Kamala vs. Trump:

"For us, there is no difference in the American elections between Trump or Kamala Harris coming to power in the administration of American evil. Harris and her so-called Democratic Party behind her may be worse than Trump and his party. We have had successful experiences with him, having subdued him in more than one confrontation. He lacks patience and cannot endure prolonged material depletion, which saved us much effort and time in revealing the true face of America as evil, exposing its weaknesses live on air."

Many new comments!

It’s all from a Zionist troll

The Israeli terrorist regime has banned the UN agency UNRWA from operating inside "Israel". This includes the west bank territories.

Death to Israel, death to America

Holy shit, on some CNN discussion news thing some zionist arguing with Mehdi Hasan wished "his beeper doesn't go off" and that absolutely derailed the program to the point where it looks like over the break they continued without that guy.

this feels like a very skill-less tipping of the hand and seeing how funny it is that liberals are forced by their sham morals to actually intervene, if not just to clear the air of a really distasteful comment. But the comfort you have to feel to foolishly just openly say something like that and misjudge just how behind you everyone is....

if anyone here had any real morals, they'd choose to be more vocal about the genocide of Palestinians because they just got a full view of who they've been supporting all along

Holy shit it really is Hillary 2.0.

Once again the dems said one true thing and called the bigots garbage and so kamala is gonna spend the final 72 hours talking about how trump supporters aren't racist and "she would never say anything bad about a group of people just based on who they vote for"

Libs will say they hope you get executed by fascists if you vote for Jill stein but clutch their pearls at the suggestion that racist dumbasses are garbage.

New Slammer

when I see Sanders debase himself I want to believe that it's because the three letter agencies have guns trained on Bernie's children and grandchildren, but deep down I know it's because he was a chauvinist and a zionist all along.

Before/after shots of Lebanon villages where Israel has been bombing

Looks like 80% of all buildings destroyed to me, very similar to descriptions of the US bombing operations in DPRK during the Korean War.

this article is from before Oct 7 but is nevertheless a powerful article about antisemitism vs antizionism by a Palestinian writer. I'm sure this has been posted before

https://mondoweiss.net/2023/09/jewish-settlers-stole-my-house-its-not-my-fault-theyre-jewish/

Here is where I stand. There is a Jew who lives–by force—in half of my home in Jerusalem, and he does so by “divine decree.” Many others reside—by force—in Palestinian houses, while their owners linger in refugee camps. It isn’t my fault that they are Jewish. I have zero interest in memorizing or apologizing for centuries-old tropes created by Europeans, or in giving semantics more heft than they warrant, chiefly when millions of us confront real, tangible oppression, living behind cement walls, or under siege, or in exile, and living with woes too expansive to summarize. I’m tired of the impulse to preemptively distance myself from something of which I am not guilty, and particularly tired of the assumption that I’m inherently bigoted. I’m tired of the pearl-clutching pretense that should such animosity exist, its existence would be inexplicable and rootless. Most of all, I’m tired of the false equivalence between semantic violence and systemic violence.

Another deeply troubling discovery from infiltrating these political Zionist chat groups was that most of the participants were members of the risk management and AI teams - those responsible for designing and implementing security and moderation systems.

Israel is going in the direction of banning haaretz lol

Looks like a whole of government approach will be taken against Ha’aretz.

Israel’s Ministry of Communications has drafted a proposal to effectively ban the government/public services interacting with Ha’aretz.

Probably one step away from banning the paper as a whole.

Libs will come across an influential personality and completely separate them from important context.

They'll celebrate Yacouba Sawadogo, for instance, for being a pioneer of 20th-century agriculture by reinventing traditional methods for water retention amd soil fertility. And yet, there's something missing...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yacouba_Sawadogo

His methods started to find widespread success in the mid-80s, in his country, Burkina Faso. I wonder what was happening around that time? Oh well, that's not important.

And then 2 decades later the land value of the area he had labored on and improved had shot up and he was struggling to afford the same plot he'd been working for over 20 years. Isn't that just rotten luck? I guess life's just a roller coaster of fortune.

My hate for liberals burns like a sun:

Tucker Carlson claims he was ‘mauled’ in bed by a demon in an attack that left claw marks on his body. Tucker also sleeps in bed with his four dogs. This raises an obvious question - why didn’t the dogs protect him from the demon?

Consider this:

1. Since October 2023, Hezbollah has been clear that the Lebanon front will only cease when the siege of Gaza ends.

2. The Palestinian Resistance in Gaza has affirmed an unshakeable position since at least December 2023 that the only acceptable ceasefire will require the withdrawal of ALL occupation forces from Gaza.

3. The Zionist occupiers have set up semi-permanent outposts at both the "Netzarim corridor" and "Pheladelphi corridor" in Gaza and have explicitly stated they intend to completely ethnically cleanse North Gaza and occupy it and they are currently in the process of attempting this.

Now let's ask:

1. How then are people under this delusion that some sort of "ceasefire" is in the near fiture regarding the US-NATO-israeli war on Lebanon?

2. Who benefits from propagating this delusion?

There's a twitter account that organizes and posts photos and screenshots of Israeli soldiers and their social media posts admitting to war crimes. I'm surprised it hasn't been banned yet.

Not content with murdering millions upon millions, not content with creating death factories, not content with sending children, women and the elderly to gas chambers, not content with beheading people, not content with throwing people into pits while they were still alive, not content with throwing millions of people into a war as they launched their worldwide campaign for blood and murder, Germany doubles down and stands firm and proud next to their most precious student, "Israel", as they continue to genocide arabs in their quest for blood and conquest.

"Reporters" from The Federalist caught the Harris campaign organizing astroturfing on .

CW: The Federalist

They ended up getting into a discord server run by a campaign staffer that was organizing volunteers and maybe some other staffers to post/boost/brigade content on Reddit. They found that 126 of the top 1000 posts over the past month on r/politics were from users involved in the astroturfing campaign. The campaign also made a public Google doc that the writer took some screenshots of but, unsurprsingly, forgot to make a copy of lol.

At the end of the article, they call out some funny moderating going on in the Texas sub, which was noticeable to me. I got banned there maybe two weeks ago for saying I wasn't going to vote for Kamala over her support for genocide.

Yemeni Forces Unveil Advanced Home-Grown Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Al Ahed News

Named al-Qari’a [Calamity], the domestically engineered AUV was showcased during a naval exercise in the Red Sea on Sunday.

This new suicide AUV is poised to bolster Yemen’s military strength against maritime security threats, supporting the country’s efforts to safeguard its territorial waters and enabling Yemeni naval units to conduct more precise operations.

In recent months, Yemeni forces seized a US Navy REMUS 600 AUV off Yemen's coast, which has reportedly been under study by Yemeni military experts and engineers. The midsized REMUS 600 AUV can reach speeds up to 5 knots [9.3 km/h] and operate for up to 70 hours at a cruising speed of 3 knots [5.6 km/h].

I vaguely remember Obama, still as president, making a speech where he says in no uncertain terms that 'the US shouldn't go into Ukraine' because 'it's way more important to the Russians than to America and therefore Russia will put much more into than the US ever will'. Which goes to show that the guy was a pretty good steward of empire whenever he didn't listen to his dumbass secretary of state. If someone knows what I'm talking about, much obliged.

It really does seem like the momentum has shifted in Kamala’s favor. While I do think it’s still basically a coin flip, I’ve gone from slightly favoring Trump to slightly favoring Kamala in the last couple days.

And if Kamala ends up winning and you’re feeling a bummed about it, just remember that we cannot “punish” the Democratic Party. If they do lose Michigan due to Gaza and losing Michigan causes them to lose it all, that will not change their policies and attitude towards Palestinians one iota. They will not have a come-to-Jesus moment and decide they need to change course. The genocide in Gaza is America’s genocide, subcontracted out to the Israelis. The current uniparty policy of fascism and imperial domination of Western Asia will continue unabated regardless of who is president. We have to find alternate routes and do what we can to support the Resistance, in whom the only hope for liberation rests.

in today's hopium news: The US Military Is In A Death Spiral by comrade Indrajit

Teaser:

The US army is the worst army in the world. They're the only army that aspires to worldwide dominance, and they suck at it. It's the only Empire based on losing every war and looting its own treasury. Losing the last war is always covered up by the starting the next war, but if you look at it historically, America has been losing it for decades now. Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Palestine, these are all losses or draws.
