So, let me get this straight:
This little coke head asshole has been given $196 billion of American tax dollars, blows up diesel refineries, kidnaps people off the street, and now has been caught running black site torture dens with victims as young as 14 years old.
And, America is still supporting this guy instead of ending this war entirely?
Seriously, what are we doing anymore…

This week I presented a petition in Parliament calling on Coventry City Council to do the right thing and terminate its contract with Palantir for children’s services.
Palantir is complicit in Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.
Our public services should not be handing public money and sensitive data to a company implicated in these atrocities.
Support the campaign and add your name: actionnetwork.org/petitions/…
Palantir out of our public services NOW!

In my estimation, the infamous Yeltsin-era oligarchs were never “Russian capitalists.”
They were Western instruments!
They were the mechanism used to acquire Russian resources at fire-sale prices and keep the state permanently on its knees.
Putin did not steal their companies. He ended that arrangement.
This approach was the conventional practice previously applied.
Six clear cases to prove my point:
1. Yeltsin Russia — loans-for-shares looting
2. Post-Maidan Ukraine — oligarch asset stripping
3. Suharto Indonesia — crony extraction for Western multinationals
4. Mobutu Zaire — resource plunder under Western protection
5. Shah’s Iran — oil for the West, weakness at home
6. Pinochet Chile — Chicago Boys privatization for foreign capital
Same playbook. Different flags.

Russia and China have spent years prioritizing trade, energy deals, and stability. The West has spent the same years prioritizing dominance and trying to shape the world to its own advantage, then calling resistance “aggression.”
Taiwan is treated as the last real card against China. Ukraine is treated as proof of Russian expansion.
Apply the exact same standard to the West and the record is far dirtier.
The United States would never accept a hostile military alliance in Mexico or Canada. Cuba was not American territory, yet the US risked nuclear war to keep Soviet missiles out of it.
Taiwan, by contrast, is claimed by China as its own territory.
The old rules only worked when the West could enforce them without serious pushback.
That era is ending, so we need to collaborate to regain success instead of dominating. Russia and China, like the rest of the world, prefer cooperation but reject dominance.
This is the simple truth!

Fun little history lesson for about Jericho, since Zionists are claiming the city.
Jericho in Palestine, has archaeological evidence of human settlement dating back around 10,000 years.
That’s thousands of years before ancient Israelite identity even emerged, and long before Judaism developed as a distinct religion.
But sure, let’s pretend Palestinian history started when someone showed up with a biblical claim and a European passport. 🙄
History is a little inconvenient sometimes.

Let's be precise about what the Epstein network actually was.
Not a "sex scandal." Not a tabloid story about a weird billionaire and his famous friends. Not a trafficking case in the sanitized, clinical language that makes it sound like a logistics problem.
It was a blackmail infrastructure for the ruling class.
Epstein didn't accumulate powerful men by accident. He accumulated them by design.
The private island. The private jet logs. The hidden cameras. The underage girls.
This was an intelligence operation.
A systematic, decades-long project to compromise the people who run governments, banks, media companies, universities, and courts.
And when he was arrested the second time, when it was finally impossible to make it disappear:
He died in federal custody.
Suicide, they said.
In a cell where the cameras malfunctioned.
With guards who had both fallen asleep.
After his previous suicide attempt had already put him on watch status.
The medical examiner hired by his brother found evidence consistent with homicide. The official medical examiner ruled it suicide.
And the name list, the full, unredacted list of everyone Epstein brought to that island and those houses and those parties, remains sealed.
Protected by the same judicial system that is supposed to protect you.
This is not a conspiracy theory.
The documents, the flight logs, the depositions, the testimony, all of it is real, much of it is public, and what it shows is a power structure that protects itself from accountability at every level.
The people on that list run your country.
They run your media.
They run your courts.
They are still running everything.
And they will call you a "conspiracy theorist" for noticing.

Horrifying that it has taken Israel's #GazaHolocaust to force focus on the decades-long Zionist infiltration into spheres of societies worldwide 🌐
⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️
Israeli influence (tampering) in Australian politics has been around for decades, it’s just so obvious now.
These two creeps need to be called out. #GazaGenocide

Western Medias silence on the horrors of Zelenskys brutal and corrupt regime is deafening.
The Moralising European and British media and their putrid political masters are the worst.
The internet and X have robbed them of their monopoly. We know the truth.

Fuck off. It had nothing to do with you. AND you've destroyed the graves of the Australian soldiers who died during this battle. Graves that were carefully tended and cared for BY PALESTINIANS. 🖕🏻
Israel commemorated the 109th anniversary of the Battle of Beersheba, honouring the bravery of the Australian Light Horsemen.
Deputy Director-General for Asia and the Pacific @AvivEzra and Director of the Pacific Department @DavidLevyIL laid wreaths on behalf of Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs @IsraelMFA.
The legacy of the Battle of Beersheba continues to underscore the enduring historical bond between Australia and Israel 🇮🇱🇦🇺

China warns that if Israel uses a Nuclear Weapon against any country, including Iran.
It will be the end of Israel.

Israel apologists are unique in the way literally all of them constantly pretend to believe things they don't actually believe.
Over the years I've argued with members of every political ideology on earth, and I've never encountered any group who does this like Zionists do. Other ideological factions might hold idiotic and downright evil beliefs, but for the most part they tend to actually believe the things they are saying.
Not so with Israel supporters. I've been interacting with them for years, often over extended conversations just to understand their arguments and their worldview, and what stands out the most in these interactions is the way they constantly lie about what they think is true.
They'll pretend to believe a given high-profile critic of Israeli atrocities hates Jews just to help marginalize their voice. They'll pretend to believe Iran is on the cusp of developing nuclear weapons in order to help drum up support for war. They'll pretend to believe antisemitism is one of the most urgent and dangerous threats to our society today in order to push for more laws against pro-Palestine protests. They'll pretend to believe every human rights group on earth is lying about Israel committing genocide in order to help Israel commit more genocidal crimes against humanity.
Over the years I've interacted many people who misrepresent my beliefs and the beliefs of other people, but Israel supporters are the only ideological group I've ever encountered who consistently misrepresent THEIR OWN beliefs.
I've seen it over and over and over again. I'll corner them on one of the claims they are making about what they believe, completely dismantling their given reasons for why they believe what they claim to believe, and they'll just shift to some other reason justifying the existence of their belief.
And this should not be surprising. If you would support genocide, ethnic cleansing and apartheid, of course you would lie about your own beliefs to advance those agendas. Bad people do bad things. If genocide, ethnic cleansing and apartheid do not bother you, then you are unlikely to have ethical qualms about communicating without intellectual honesty.
These days I mostly just respond to such people by saying "You don't really believe that. You're just pretending to believe that in order to advance the interests of a genocidal apartheid state." It's the only way to deal with a group who literally never engages in good faith on any level.
Israel supporters need to do this because their worldview is not grounded in truth or morality. They don't hold their position because it is morally or factually correct, they hold it to advance personal agendas like career advancement, ladder-climbing, getting into Heaven, getting those tasty hasbara bucks, or winning the approval of their Zionist friends and family.
In a healthy society, supporting Israel would be as culturally toxic as loving Adolf Hitler or advocating the legalization of child sex trafficking. But we do not live in a healthy society. We live under a murderous, globe-spanning empire that is held together by lies and endless bloodshed. Zionism is rewarded and amplified because its evils are shared with the evils of the rest of the western imperial power structure which is choking our world to death.

Here is what they will not say plainly, so I will say it for them:
The actual fear is not nuclear weapons or trade imbalances or military bases or any of the specific threats named in the foreign policy papers.
The actual fear is a world that functions without them at the center.
A world with Asian development banks, African trade agreements, Latin American regional institutions, Global South coalitions that don’t require Western approval to legitimize them.
Not an anti-Western world. Not a world that hates the West or seeks to harm it.
Just a world that has other options.
A world in which the West is one pole among several, one set of values among several worth considering, one history among many worth knowing.
A normal world, in other words.
The world as it actually was before two centuries of enforced hierarchy, and as it is slowly, stubbornly, irreversibly becoming again.
That world frightens them more than any weapon.
Because weapons can be matched.
Irrelevance cannot.

Vietnam was never "Third World."
Vietnam was ancient before the concept of "the West" existed.
Dynasties, poetry, philosophy, agricultural civilization, a relationship with the Red River Delta older than most European nation-states.
Then came the French.
Then the Americans.
Then the economists with their development indexes.
Then the NGOs with their metrics.
All of them arriving with the same underlying grammar:
"You are behind. We are ahead. The gap between us is the distance you have yet to travel."
Vietnam traveled nowhere they specified.
Vietnam traveled where Vietnam decided.
And arrived at something no development index designed by someone else can fully measure.
Because it was never supposed to be measured that way.
ALT The Hoàng Hạ bronze drum, a masterpiece of Vietnam’s Đông Sơn civilisation, dating to approximately the 3rd–2nd century BCE. Discovered in 1937 in Hoàng Hạ village, Văn Hoàng commune, Phú Xuyên district, Hà Nội, its intricate designs depict ancient rituals, warriors, boats and daily life, reflecting the artistic and metallurgical sophistication of the ancient Vietnamese. More than two millennia before anyone conceived of a "Third World," Vietnam already possessed a civilisation of remarkable depth and complexity.

The Zelensky regime is evil.
The Ukrainian National Guard stated that a 14-year-old boy "fell from a tree" onto the territory of an illegal prison.
According to the commander of the National Guard, Alexander Pivnenko, the 14-year-old boy accidentally fell from a tree onto the premises of the facility. The military took him inside the building to protect him from stones being thrown into the courtyard.
