New media blitz discussing rape and sexual assault of israeli hostages during captivity by Hamas. The account quite frankly seems believable enough at first blush. Hamas has apparently released a response criticizing the account's truthfulness, but of course the western press isn't covering that with any kind of detail (such that I can't even find it!) and instead uncritically repeating the claims of the victim and Israeli politicians bloviating about why they have to continue genocide "tO sAvE tHe HoStAgEs" as if their operations have anything to do with that at this point.

Even if the allegations are true, which is at least plausible, the timing and media strategy seems more in response to the recent UN ceasefire vote than actually seeking justice in any meaningful sense of the word.

CENTCOM is claiming Ansarallah struck a Chinese-owned ship with multiple missiles

Anybody see anything about this from a source that isn't the great satan?

Libs on Twitter are going full QAnon about the attack in Russia.

Are any of you sickos still following the Ukraine frontline stuff enough to know if anything significant has happened since Avdiivka fell? I keep hearing that Russia is advancing basically across the entire line of contact but haven't heard of any big wins in a little while. Rumors of a Kharkov offensive?

Yes I got first!

Well, kind of.

Here's a photo from yesterday's demonstration in memory of the Coup of 1976. Meanwhile, the government, through official channels, officially challenged the 30,000 victims number of the dictatorship and uploaded their own video which tries to "tell the whole story", which goes like there was a war and "the other side" were bloodlust terrorists (Even though by the time the coup happened, the guerrillas were all battered) and the actual number of disappeared people is 8,700 and there's no genocide. This is the first time ever in which a government has made a very clear genocide denial case, at least regarding this case of genocide in particular (This government also denies there's a genocide in Palestine and also it is common for many governments to deny that the "Conquest of the Desert", the expansion of the State through native lands in Patagonia, constitutes a genocide). This is extremely dangerous.

this guys is speculating that the ship lost power before the crash

Excellent analysis from Hezbollah official news/information outlet: https://english.alahednews.com.lb/75731/269

There is no doubt that those behind the attackers had calculated that their escape towards Ukraine would achieve a certain goal, whether they succeeded in crossing or not. This means that the planner of this attack wanted them to head towards the border with Ukraine.

This leads us to believe that the party behind them wanted them to be arrested or liquidated in that region around the Ukrainian border or for their crossing of the Russian-Ukrainian border to be exposed if they succeeded in doing so.

Therefore, this party wants to suggest that Kiev is linked to this attack in one way or another, similarly to what happened shortly after the Nord Stream bombing, when the Western media deliberately pointed the finger of blame at Kiev. In other words, the planner wanted to leave evidence of Kiev’s role in the terrorist act, regardless of whether that evidence was accurate or not.

The objective of the heinous terrorist act was to create Russia’s 9/11, with the media and intelligence sources blaming Ukraine for it. That is, whoever planned this wants to direct the attention of Russian decision makers towards Kiev and pin the Ukrainian government into a corner leaving them with one option – the option of accepting a political solution imposed by Russia.

Naturally, the narrative that Moscow wanted this is false, as it is not part of its political and moral manners to resort to this type of deception while it is winning on the ground at least.

Hence, the search must focus on those for whom Ukraine has become a burden, those who want to declare Ukraine’s imminent defeat, who are looking for a way to get down from the tree or justifications for a humiliating retreat, and who are afraid to announce this publicly and are looking for a way out of their predicament. This only applies to the Americans and their British allies, after they failed to secure Russian support to backtrack in the Middle East following the Al-Aqsa Flood and its disastrous consequences for Washington and London.

The claims of responsibility by Daesh are nothing but camouflage and deception. Its main goal is to create a space to meet Moscow halfway and to make room for negotiations and a settlement based on what the West likes to claim is a common enemy – Daesh.

In addition, it allows the West to network between different files, especially between Ukraine and the Middle East, for the purpose of bartering on the basis that Daesh is active in Syria and Iraq, where Russian and American spheres of influence intersect and compete.

Washington has always used this terrorist organization to achieve political and geopolitical goals and has always tried to network and barter between the Middle Eastern and Ukrainian files to no avail.

Washington realizes that Russian advances on the global stage from Ukraine and the Middle East to Africa and Asia, all the way to South America is accelerating and is supported by Russia’s allies, especially China and the Axis of Resistance. It also realizes that Washington and its allies have become unable to stop it.

One of the examples of this inability is the Al-Aqsa Flood, in the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean, in Syria and Iraq. Another is Russia and China’s thwarting of the American draft resolution in the UN Security Council, which Washington needed to address the results of the Al-Aqsa Flood in accordance with its interests. Further evidence of American inability was represented by the Nigerien government’s cancellation of the defense cooperation agreement with Washington.

The role of Washington and London in the terrorist attack in Moscow is clear as daylight. There is no need to pay attention to the false statements and condemnations issued by the White House for this heinous crime. The American dilemma is extensive and is increasing day after day. The fact that opponents of the United States are ignoring the American desire for a settlement is only making Washington mad and hysterical.

What frightens Washington most today is its realization that time is not on its side and that its opponents are playing the game of time. Therefore, it is trying to push them to listen and accept some of its interests. To achieve this, it uses all means, including organized cross-border terrorism.

Geopolitical Economy Report: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, UN human rights expert explains [20m video]

Includes an analysis that say 99% of Israel's arms come from and (1% from ). Calls for sanctions and an arms embargo.

EDIT: It should be noted that Ben Norton is wrong in this video about the resolution being binding, though. UNSC resolutions can be binding, but this one was not. Which should be no shock to anyone: the U.S. would have vetoed it if it had been a binding resolution.

Palestinians forced to swim to get salt water soaked "aid"

Elements of the Russian Pacific fleet have reportedly entered the Rea Sea.
Looks like two ships so far. I would assume they're just travelling to some port in Eastern Russia, but given that the Houthis are still attacking US military ships in the area, there is potential for some misunderstandings here

Remember when Trump did his infrastructure week

Good times

Kulak literally feels the heat of climate change, colonizes pond and expreses their desire for a sterile pool in place of a wildlife filled pond

I knew right away it was a newt. The sucking, or rather, clenching sensation on my skin had become a surprisingly familiar sensation, given all the amphibians also seeking to reduce their body temperature on this extraordinarily hot day in our watering hole.  

The first time I sensed it as I floated, I absentmindedly felt up my leg for the cause of that curious feeling. I was shocked when I found the slimy, bright green creature. I tore it off and flung it far away with surely unsurvivable vehemence. 

Their first instinct is to throw an animal, good start

I regret doing that as later I learned it was likely endangered.

But not bad you threw it as far as possible, only that it's endangered

Prior to the heat dome, I used to think the effects of climate change on our farm were manageable. I must admit that I did not have a firm grasp on the immediacy and severity of the situation, and I had no idea I would feel it so personally. 

As always no one (in the imperial core) thinks climate change will happen to them, it's one of those things that happens to other people on the news and twitter

I can now swim with creepy crawlies without feeling I have to kill them all, but that is the extent of my increased environmentalism.

They accidentally made a wildlife sanctuary pond to fight fires, and now they act magnanimous about not exterminating it so they don't have to share with various animals

There is a new movie from Russia called Zero Cosmonaut (trailer) based on the Italian hoax about how the USSR sent countless test subjects to die in space before Yuri Gagarin finally succeeded.

In this film, the evil Soviet Union sent a WOMAN (based on the original hoax where some Italian radio operators apparently picked up on a woman’s voice in space, or maybe because women are seen as less valuable so they are disposable for space missions if you want to be a lib about it) who became the first human to enter the orbit before her spacecraft came into trouble and needed to be rescued by some amateur ham radio operators on earth.

You cannot make this shit up! Russia as a country is truly a joke! Imagine turning foreigners’ ridicule of your success into a movie lol.

The premiere is on April 24, 2024. A spaceship with the first person on board, Lyudmila Alexeeva, finds itself in a dire situation. Orbiting in unmanned mode, the ship suddenly stops responding to signals from the Earth control center. Fear and uncertainty grip the cosmonaut, realizing that returning to Earth is becoming less likely.

With no communication with Earth and all hopes dwindling, Lyudmila is forced to make a risky decision - to try to find a way back home on her own. However, just when hope seems lost, an unexpected distress signal is picked up by a ham radio operator on Earth. Now begins a race against time, where every minute could be crucial in saving Lyudmila and her ship. Will she be able to overcome all challenges and return to Earth?

i hope ghana and ivory coast are fucking feasting on those cocoa prices tbh, if their harvest just 60 % of normal they should get some monies. Maybe farmers won't be beyond poverty line for a year

And then they make cocoa cartel (didn't they try recently?), and get rich on euro treat-fiends. And then they plantation owners, and launch preemptive strike on nestle hq and seal team-6 that fucking dipshit lawyer

Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins comes out against the Garrick club's men-only policy while revealing that he himself is a member of it. For those keeping score, the Guardian is the magazine that broke the story about the club's membership list leaking, but declined to mention that one of their most published opinion authors is also on the list.

What's wild to me is that he's one of their better political opinion guys lately. Certainly head and shoulders above Tisdall.

Corina Yoris, the candidate chosen by the Venezuelan opposition to replace Maria Corina Machado, has complained that she is not being allowed to register as a candidate. "My rights as a Venezuelan citizen are being violated".

With just a few hours to go until the deadline, the opposition parties authorized by the CNE to register candidates are unable to access the registration system. During Yoris' speech, the campaign put up a television to prove that the system is not accepting registrations.

Yoris is opposed to socialism and communism; she says that the free market regulates prices, that communism was responsible for the death of millions and that the ideology resulted with Venezuela becoming divided.

Holy shit, they keep choosing the most unpopular dipshit to run against Maduro. Her wikipedia page was created literally 2 days ago, she lacks a spanish version of it.
