German Chancellor Scholz struggles to keep coalition together
so "the west" has a lot of problems...(liberal party may leave German coalition...once social democrats and once greens may need christian democrats (CDU/CSU) to keep majority...Alternative for Germany AfD now second largest (after CDU/CSU) may be declared illigal...Just like in the US a law in Colorada -linked to the US civil war- is used to keep trump out...
It is further destroying the basic idea of democracy...
Yesterday I did write BRICS-extra still is willing to offer a way out....but BRICS-extra is NOT the problem....
Zionist soldier, while laughing in an Interview with the Israeli channel Hot 8: "We put Palestinians in cages and killed them. One of us raped a sixteen-year-old girl; some of us ran after them with flame throwers and burned them."
Incompetence and stupidity have become existential threats:
- Nikki Haley is convinced Russia was behind the attack on 7 October, because its Putin's birthday...
- Absurd conspiracy theories are accepted if they come from the elites
Israel requested the #US & #France to mediate with #Lebanon for the withdrawal of #Hezbollah forces to a distance of 40 km from the Lebanese border. The outcome: Israeli settlers ended up relocating 70 km away from the border, distancing themselves from Hezbollah's missiles & drones.
the "west" is run by idiots...
-Main reason why the Ukraine NATO war is not ended; the "west" is unwilling to admit they did lose that war...
-"israel" is a means to control MENA (Middle East North Africa) for NATO
DJ...I did see a "twitter" on a planned NATO attack in the Red Sea area -stopped in the last minute because Yemen "backers" would react...(very likely that would mean a NATO attack would see the ships involved sunk...).
BREAKING Coordination between Iran, China and Russia is booming Ansarallah have been tremendously precise in not hitting non-western oil tankers says data firm Kpler According to MarineTraffic, Iranian and Russian oil as well as Chinese cargo ships and non-Western vessels in the Red Sea have increased since the Houthis began targeting Israel-linked vessels. The Chinese navy even ignored a distress call from a ship linked to Israel.
BREAKING The US has backed down from plans to attack the Houthis after threats of all-out war by 2 million troops of the Yemeni Ansarullah group. According to the Associated Press (AP), military ships from the US-led alliance will be positioned to provide air defence umbrellas to as many ships as possible at any given time. Basically, they will fire missiles worth $2 million to intercept a $2,000 Yemeni drone.
From a historical view; Western domination since 1492 killed most (90-95%) of the "red skinned" "native Americans. "indians"...enslaved black skinned Africans by the millions, exploited Asians -destroying their culture...
nazi-ism is a red line in western history...kkk-like idea's dominate western actions till today...NATO only goal is to keep western exploitation to go on...also worsening climate problems, diseases...
Again..."the west" in my view-may be a basic problem...
YES-I do have (limited) freedom to write this...however lots of people do face losing their job/perspective because of even milder critics...
A western political "elite" seems to be isolating themselves and see any opposition as betrayal...We may be in "demo-crazy" when the only allowed opinion is the opinion of that "elite"...
"Gaza is everywhere"...it is just a matter of time....

A terrorist went and killed 15 people at Prague University The Terrorist is a man named David Kozak What could be the reason the mainstream media is concealing his identity?
Probably because he’s Jewish. “Kozak” Jewish (Ashkenazic): nickname from Yiddish kozak ‘warrior Cossack’ (a loanword from Ukrainian or a cognate in some other Slavic language
Czech police have announced that the attacker at the university in Prague is 24-year-old student David Kozak.
On Thursday afternoon, the police launched a search for David Kozak, whom they associate with the murder in the village of Kladensko.
According to the Czech media, he killed his father in the morning.
It later became clear that the wanted man was the one who killed ten people in the afternoon at the Faculty of Philosophy in Prague.
According to the information published by the police in connection with the search, the missing Kozak should have been armed.
The young man, who was a student at the Faculty of Philosophy, then headed towards the school, where he killed ten people. Dozens of other people were injured. The police cordoned off the area around the faculty building and asked residents of nearby houses not to go out.
According to the police, the attacker was subsequently eliminated, and people were evacuated from the building. Some students were barricaded in classrooms, others found refuge on the roof. The motive for the shooting is not yet known.
The attacker was allegedly inspired by a 14-year-old Russian girl who carried out a similar attack earlier this month.
Kozak was a history student who had excellent results at university. He graduated in European history, and continued his master’s studies in which he focused on the history of Poland.
How well his studies went is evidenced by the award of the Polish Institute in Prague, which he received in May for the work “Problems of the Antagonism of the Galician Peasant and Krakow Uprising of 1846”.
At the same time, the twenty-four-year-old was suffering from mental problems, and perverted thoughts were running through his head. He wanted to kill, and judging by the message he left behind on the Telegram social network, he thought about everything for a long time.
“Let me introduce myself. I’m David. I want to commit a school shooting and maybe suicide. Alina Afaskinova really helped me a lot,” Kozak wrote on Telegram.
He referred to the case of December 7, when a 14-year-old girl killed two students, wounded five of them, and then committed suicide at a gymnasium in Bryansk, Russia.
-
He first killed his father in Hostoun, and then went to Prague. He had an entire arsenal at his disposal, the police found short-barreled and long-barreled weapons, as well as explosives,Klix.bareports.
DJ...it is sad we do have mass shootings in quite peacefull countries. Very likely "david" was in mental problems and did manage to get weapons...Nothing more...
There are lots of protests against the genocide in Palestine and the support NATO is providing...Civil servants fear losing their jobs -here in NL- if they openly protest against the "political elite" supporting war(s)....
Very likely "israel" is pushing for repression of protests against its crimes ...a democracy is supposed to offer room for disagreement.
During President Biden's inauguration, he promised to bring our country together, to be a president for all Americans, no matter who they voted for, and he promised to get us closer to peace. Instead he is tearing our country apart, pouring fuel on the fire of divisiveness, and leading us to the brink of World War and nuclear annihilation.
DJ...there is a basic right...maybe even basic duty...to disagree and offer different views and opinions...

In this somber moment, it's hard to wish those celebrating “Merry Christmas”, with ongoing loss, grief & destruction Our teams are doing the impossible to help people in need. We mourn the loss of more
colleagues killed in #Gaza, now 142, the majority with their families
DJ, Like in NATO-proxy "ukraine" also in NATO proxy "israel" NATO;
-paying for it
-supplying weapons
-supplying intel
-very likely even supplying "special forces"...
Let me be very clear -most if not all "NATO governments" by their actions have become war criminals....
It is good to see at least there is some legal action to stop it...
In to many European countries most political parties "support NATO" , close their eyes for the ongoing crimes....
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE ! Try to contact politicians you feel related to...Ask why they are this inactive...Their silence make them responsible as well !

Western "state run" MSM;
-increasing "terrorism risks"-in fact calling for a "war on terror..
-"international shipping blocked by Iran"...while it is Yemen-Houthis -in solidarity with Palestine stopping western shipping linked with "israel"...

Dutch Jews who survived the death camps and returned to the Netherlands were for years monitored by the Dutch secret service because they were considered to be extremists and a danger to democracy, the Parool reported on Saturday.
The revelations are based on documentation in the archives of the BVD, the precursor of the current AIVD security service, which the paper had access to via the National Archives.
Many Holocaust survivors were spied on until the 1980s, with the BVD reporting on memorial services and taking notes on who was in attendance, the paper said.
The Nederlands Auschwitz Comité, founded in 1956 by survivors, was also considered to be an extremist organisation and monitored, the paper said. The BVD even had a mole within the organisation who reported back on everything that happened.
DJ...the UK killed a lot of resistence fighters may 2 1945...survivors of nazi-horrors...
In World War Two a western elite did not only fight nazi's -they may have quite often cooperated with them against communists/Soviet Union...People transported to concentrationcamps did NOT see transport routes bombed while the Allies knew about the horrors/gaschambers/mass murders..."it was not a priority"...
In the present NATO war with BRICS-extra there is a lot of "dirty work" ongoing...Again we see people labelled as "sub-human"...(from Yezidi'-Kurds sold as slaves in Gaziantep-Turkey, Black Africans "for sale" in NATO ruined Libya to ukraine-nazi's killing Russians, "zionist extremists" mass murdering Palestinians...ALL with NATO support...
The historical "red line" is western racism, the west as "above all others"....even a religious "duty" to "save non christian souls from hell"...

FIELD EXECUTIONS, MASS DETENTIONS. Alarming footage of Israeli forces turning a stadium in Gaza into a mass detention camp. The video shows the detention of hundreds of civilians, including women, elders, and BABIES.
has confirmed that the Israeli forces are carrying out field executions against civilians in Gaza after forcibly removing them from displacement centers and stripping them.
Geneva - In a primary report submitted to UN special rapporteurs and the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has documented dozens of cases of field executions carried out by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip. The human rights group requested an immediate investigation into these crimes, calling for the perpetrators to be held accountable, and for justice for all victims.
Euro-Med Monitor submitted the initial file to Maurice Tydball Benz, the UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial or arbitrary executions; Francesca Albanese, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967; Navanethem Pillay, head of the Investigative Committee on the Occupied Palestinian Territory; and Karim Khan, ICC Prosecutor.
The rights organisation called on the aforementioned parties to take a firm position on the widespread killing operations carried out by Israeli forces targeting Palestinian civilians, especially the field executions and physical liquidations in the Gaza Strip. In addition, Euro-Med Monitor demanded the establishment of an international legal team, pressure to secure its entry into the Gaza Strip, and the start of an inquiry into these and other instances of Palestinian civilians being killed by Israeli forces.
The Geneva-based group urged the parties to take serious action within the international community in order to achieve a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, ensure a cessation of the ongoing unjustifiable killing, open a criminal investigation into all of the Israeli military’s reported atrocities, and achieve accountability and justice for every Palestinian victim and survivor.
Nearly 10 days after the Israeli army began its ground attack in the Gaza Strip on 27 October, the Israeli army carried out dozens of executions and direct physical liquidations against civilians as part of its all-out military campaign that started on 7 October in retaliation for the armed attack that Palestinian factions carried out in Israeli settlements surrounding the Gaza Strip.
According to Euro-Med Monitor estimates, more than 28,000 Palestinians have been killed since the start of the Israeli genocide campaign in the Gaza Strip, a number that includes those who remain trapped under the rubble of destroyed buildings and are now presumed dead. Women and children make up 70% of the recorded victims. Thus, Palestinian deaths constitute the highest rate of civilian casualties worldwide in the 21st century.

#Iran#IRGC general Sayed Radha Mussawi was assassinated by #Israel today in #Syria after seven failed attempts in the past years to kill him. He arrived to #Lebanon in 1986 and served for many years to support the beginning of #Hezbollah in Lebanon.
#Iran will not retaliate against #Israel in any way to divert attention from the Palestinian cause.
The Iranians do not react immediately, but choose a suitable target and hit it directly or indirectly. There are plenty of Israeli (painful) targets around.
DJ...u.s. decided to call a main part of the Iranian army "terrorist"...while closing their eyes for killing over 5000 Palestine children "in self defense"...
The western double standards are beyond criminal..."sick"...

When 12 people were killed in Charlie Hebdo attacks, World Leaders thronged to Paris for a Solidarity March. But no world leader has organised a march to protest killing of over 25,000 civilians, 12,000 children, 130 UN aid workers, and 100 journalists in Gaza. Shame on you.
...maybe the basic problem is we do NOT have "world leaders" in the west....The WHO, IPCC, UN all serving "the economy" ...killing machine for profits of a few...
History shows how such a corrupt criminal system ends....
Trigger warning: North Gaza after the IDF pulled out from a limited area of Beit Hanoun! People discovered decomposed bodies of Gazans killed by Israel & left at the city entrance! Will a single mainstream media cover this? Will Biden or the EU call it "barbaric" or "savage"?
No ! Both biden and EU do their best to let barbarism continue...
With nowhere to go and nothing to eat, half of Gaza’s population is starving. 9 out of 10 Gazans are eating less than one meal a day. WFP reiterates our call for a humanitarian ceasefire - the world must come together to save lives.
Like in "ukraine" in Palestine "the west" finds itself on the WRONG side of history...
China is apparently impeding Israeli war efforts with bureaucracy: "Israeli tech firms startled by post-war Chinese paperwork load" https://english.almayadeen.net/news/Economy/israeli-tech-firms-startled-by-post-war-chinese-paperwork-lo… China is reportedly now strictly enforcing "dual-purpose" rules on Israel, making it very difficult for Israeli firms to import products that could have a military application. According to Israeli officials "no new forms or paperwork have been introduced by Chinese authorities or companies, however, concerned bodies are simply enforcing regulations that were previously ignored". As the article points out it's especially ironic they'd complain about this since "Israeli authorities have included thousands of products in their sanctioned dual-purpose products, which are not allowed to enter the Gaza Strip, such as concrete
DJ, BRICS-extra may try to find a way out of NATO wars without even more war...
BREAKING: France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Norway, and Denmark, have refused to send warships for the US-led 'Operation Prosperity Guardian' in the Red Sea against the Houthis.
DJ-Some insane "leaders" both in the US and "israel" pushing for war with Iran....Maybe the UK will join that war....
There may be an end to "make trade not war"....a major escalation could see "western ships sunk" ...Still neo-cons "love" war...
genocide "joe", frau "genocide" bringing the world into a very dark place...
DJ-I do not understand why we do not -yet- see uprisings in the west to get rid of this filth...but I also do not understand how these criminals managed to get in (such) power...frau -genocide- von der leyen is NOT suppposed to do EU foreign policy...biden is demented...in the UK sunak is a puppet...
What a total mess !
Does the "west" have nothing to defend ? I still have the freedom to write this...BRICS-extra does not have these freedoms...however the west does NOT defend these freedoms...

Russia did take Marinka-so the west "ukraine" did sink a ship in the Black Sea...very likely NO military value but yet another empty "western victory" to keep wars going on...serving shareholders in war-industry...

In yet another act of US #complicity in Israeli war crimes, crimes against humanity & genocide, the US is working to block efforts in Switzerland to convene the high contracting parties of the Geneva Conventions. The US is a tool of Israeli impunity. #Gaza_Genocide#Palestine
#GenocideJoeBiden has shipped over 10,000 tons of military aid to Israel since October 7, and shows no sign of stopping as Netanyahu openly admits Israel’s objective is exploiting Gaza’s humanitarian catastrophe to drive ethnic cleansing
Biden’s refusal to pressure Israel to end its rampage in Gaza has encouraged Israel to instigate a regional war with Iran, and ceded US influence over events to Netanyahu, Gallant and Ben Gvir
Some brief analysis of the implications of the assassination of Iran’s top commander in Syria, Radhi Mousavi, presumably by Israel. Bottom line: Israel either killed Mousavi as a warning to Iran, given Tehran’s support for the Houthis’ targeting of ships in the Red Sea, as a provocation to beget an Iranian response that would give Israel the pretext to enlarge the war, or as a preparatory move to enlarge the war regardless of Iran’s response. It is very likely that Israel is behind the assassination of Mousavi since it is the only power with both a motive and capacity to pull off such a killing - not to mention a long history of assassinating Iranian operatives. The US has the capacity but not necessarily the motive. The analysis below rests on the rather safe assumption that Mousavi was assassinated by Israel.
The attacks by Hezbollah today on the border have been very intense and non-stop since this morning with many IOF casualties so far. The assassination of the Iranian general in Syria yesterday is not irrelevant to the increase of attack intensity by Hezbollah today.

OPINION: The facts demonstrate that the northern Sinai Peninsula is an ideal location to develop a spacious resettlement for the people of Gaza. https://jpost.com/opinion/article-779510
DJ, the "NATO west" is NOT stopping developments towards a much wider war...
You don't go to war when your economy is in the toilet! My greatest concern is people like Lindsey Graham are beating the drums for War with Iran like it is going to help us! Thinking we will strategically benefit from it is just insane!
Some reports said an Israeli drone base was targeted in the attack.
The resistance, an umbrella group of anti-terror fighters, said it carried out the attack using “appropriate weapons” in support of the Gaza Strip which has endured 82 days of an unrelenting Israeli genocidal war.
Israeli media, meanwhile, reported that a "kamikaze drone" had hit a building located in southern Golan.
Israel's Channel 12 claimed that if it was confirmed that the drone operation had originated from Syria, it would be the first time since the beginning of the Gaza war that such an attack has taken place.
The Iraqi group also said it targeted a "technical and spying center" belonging to the Israeli regime in the northeast of the city of Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan region in northern Iraq.
The Iraqi anti-terror group has been attacking targets belonging to the Israeli regime and the United States since October 7, when Tel Aviv began the war on Gaza with unwavering military and political support from Washington.
The Israeli targets included the port of Eilat located in the southernmost part of the occupied Palestinian territories and the Karish gas field in the Mediterranean Sea.
Ever since the onset of the Israeli war on Gaza, the Iraqi resistance has conducted more than 100 operations against American occupation forces in the region..
Atifi described Yemen’s stance of strong opposition to the Israeli genocide as a "religious and moral position consistent with all humanitarian and international laws."
The meeting, meanwhile, warned the United States against proceeding with its plan to form a Washington-led naval coalition against the Yemeni attacks in the Red Sea.
"We warn US against consequences of militarizing the sea and harming the security of international navigation in service of the Israeli entity," the Yemeni leaders stated.
DJ..US may face swarms of missiles/drones to end its terror in the middle east...
I did see lots of claims EU is pulling back support for a US (led) operation in the Red Sea-partly because the US may end up in a war with Yemen...EU countries could still send escort ships protecting their own shipping. But -again- if it has NO links with "israel" there may not be such a big problem...
Still the west keeps calling genocide in Gaza, West Bank "self defense"...the netanyahu-extremists want a "greater israel"..
The western world has created a monster out of Israel. To pay its own Holocaust debt it has allowed Israel to live by special rules, to live with a special waiver from international law. Predictable result: a social psychology of deep, sick and genocidal racism.
DJ, the horrors of the holocaust can not be -in any way- an excuse for another genocide...[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor agriculture "reforms" under stalin resulted in 10% of the Ukraine population starved in 1932-33...That Ukraine did NOT include the west part-than Polish...
Some ukraine-nazi's -backed by NATO- went on a genocide (again) on (most) Russians. (Hungarian minority close to the Hungary border did also face problems.)
DJ-the BRICS-extra conflict with NATO-west over global power and giving up on diplomacy...because "western superiority" is no longer accepted is using old wounds to create new ones...
----------
The "west" is running out of money for confrontation-politics...Reminds me of "star-wars/SDI" bankrupting the Soviet Union...Only this time the west is losing the confrontation...
Under Obama there was yet another coup...Ukraine had to have a pro-west regime...trump ended the (Obama) Iran-deal-went pro-israel blindly...however genocide-joe wanted war with Russia...(US republicans want war with China...).
Another "weapons of mass destruction" story (Iraq-2003 excuse for NATO-war) this time netanyahu claiming Iran is working on nuclear weapons...Iran itself claims Islam ethics does NOT allow to have nuclear weapons...(It did not stop Pakistan getting the know-how in NL...France gave Israel nuclear know how...zelenski claimed Ukraine should get "nukes" (claiming Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons -however those "nukes" were Soviet...in the 90's those weapons were dismantled. South Africa -under apartheid- had nuclear weapons - and is the only country to give up on it...The Saudi king did buy "a right" on Pakistan nukes)
-The "west" may run out of "conventional" weapons...so the nuclear option may be "the last one" for the west...
-Of course trillions spent on "defense" = war are NOT used to improve healthcare...during a pandemic....Climate collapse needs answers...but "kicking cans down the road-policies now has armed escorts"...
-Over a hundred million people ? Very likely so much more...seek safety elsewere...treated as "second class" with bad healthcare...(If not sold as slave...)
If we can not stop war than war will stop us...and we are getting to that second part...war stopping humans...

The Netherlands should be better prepared for conflict with Russia, and that goes for both the armed forces and the general population, Dutch army chief Martin Wijnen said in an interview with the Telegraaf.
This does not mean “everyone will have to start wearing a helmet,” he said. But the Netherlands should be following the example of Sweden, Finland and the Baltic states, which border Russia and where the population is much better prepared for the idea of a war with their much larger neighbour.
Wijnen, who is standing down on January 1 has been commander of the Dutch armed forces since 2021.
DJ; WHY ????
-Because NATO has to move east ? Not respecting any security concerns from Russia/BRICS-extra ?
-Because "we" need to bring "freedom and democrazy" to Russian oil and gas ?
-We need to keep the US$ "on top"...fiat currency needs "us" to exploit/rob the rest of the world...
It is NATO moving East !!!!! Not Russia moving west !...and NO I am not such a "Putin-supporter"! Freedom of expression, trying to form an opinion is a very major point for me...So I do NOT welcome increasing censorship in the west...(outsourced to private companies..."politics" still "support a free press" as long as that "free press" does not ask any real questions...a propaganda-tool !)
Western politics/media as good as ignore BRICS-extra...Brazil-Russia-India-China-South Africa, with UAE, Iran, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Ethiopia joining BRICS per january...only a few days from now...(What a coincidence-october 7 "surprise Hamas attack" AFTER most major Middle East countries join BRICS...)
Alarm bells should have started ringing in early November when US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and other Western politicians began insisting there could be “no forcible displacement of Palestinians from Gaza”.
"Slava Ukraïni!" is a fascist slogan first uttered in the court house in Warsaw after 12 members of the OUN (including Stepan Bandera) conspired to assassinate Polish Interior Minister Branislaw Pieracki. As one of the female defendants, Svientsits'ka was passing by the dock, she went towards the defendants, raised her right hand, and shouted, "Slava Ukraïni!" The defendant Karpynets' stood up, raised his arm, and answered, "Slava Ukraïni!" This is apparently the first recorded fascist salute that OUN members performed in public.
DJ...NATO again supporting fascists...with western "politics" falling in the hands of fascists in many countries...
In Palestine not only NATO-proxy "israel" is killing close to 1000 Palestinians per day...also orthodox Jews, Armenian christians being attacked ..."israel" going for a "greater more zionist israel"...(And there are lots of protests against that also in "Israel"...)
Ukraine nazi's did not only kill thousends of ethnic Russians...they also attacked other groups (Jews, gays...Hungarian minority, any kind of opposition etc)
The nazi-NATO western elite -again- supporting these criminals...Reminds me of tatcher, reagan, pinochet...three "friends against communism"...How "the west" did put hitler/nazi's in power in Germany in 1933...(to keep stalin/soviet union, socialsm limited).
-There are lots of reasons why "people" do NOT learn a thing from history...
History is "confronting" people with wrong choices...
History is written "by winners" (and they do NOT write on the "their bad parts" in history)...
The bombing of Nijmegen on 22 February 1944 was a target-of-opportunity aerial bombing raid by the United States Army Air Forces on the city of Nijmegen in the Netherlands, then occupied by Nazi Germany. In terms of the number of victims, it was one of the largest bombardments of a Dutch city during World War II. Officially, nearly 800 people (almost all civilians) were killed by accident due to inaccurate bombing but, because people in hiding were not counted, the actual death toll was likely higher. A large part of the historic city centre was destroyed, including Saint Steven's Church. Saint Augustine's Church and Nijmegen railway station (the intended target)[3] were heavily damaged as well.
DJ there has been a lot of discussion on this bombing...Arnhem (56 killed) and Nijmegen would have been mistaken for Emmerich and Cleve...about 10/15 miles more to the east in Germany...Another claim is there would have been a military train in/near Nijmegen station...When I look at the Arnhem-february 22-1944 picture; Did the bombers "just drop bombs over a city"? (of course these bombings were used by the nazi's in their propaganda...also the "Boer-wars"[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_history_of_South_Africa#Boer_Wars[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_history_of_South_Africa#Boer_Wars was welcome in nazi-anti British propaganda...NL-UK relations-because of these boer-wars- were not "that well" till 1940...The NL "pro-German neutrality" during (and after Kaiser seeking safety in NL the NL queen wilhelmina was his cousin) and after World War One may also be a factor).

There is NOTHING nice, romantic or good in war...It brings out barbarism and horrors...Only war industry is making record profits so they can "donor" even more to "politicians for sale";
A word - not - from our sponsors: The West's self-built politico, economic and technological mythology is heading to complete implosion.

Netanyahu’s Superstars Benjamin Netanyahu has a wide range of personalities serving inside his government. But two names in particular separate themselves from the rest. These two people are: ⃠Itamar Ben-Gvir (National Security Minister of Israel) ⃠Bezalel Yoel Smotich (Finance Minister of Israel)
Itamar Ben-Gvir: ⃠He believes that the Jewish tradition of spitting on Christians, Priests and Churches is perfectly fine and should NOT be punishable by law. ⃠He is a firm Israeli Supremacist. He proved this when he said: “The right of me, my wife and my children to move around the West Bank is more important than freedom of movement for the Arabs.” ⃠He has pulled a gun on multiple Palestinian parking attendants in Tel Aviv. ⃠He was notorious for having a portrait of Baruch Goldstein on his wall. For those who don’t know, Baruch was an American-Israeli terrorist who massacred 29 Palestinian worshipers in Hebron, 1994. ⃠In June, he entered Al-Aqsa Mosque and declared Israel “in charge” to deliberately cause tension.
Bezalel Smotrich: - In 2016 Smotrich made a statement in which he said Jewish mothers should not share maternity wards with Arab mothers. - In February 2023 he was in favour of "wiping out" a Palestinian village and called for the Palestinian town of Huwara to be "erased". - In March 2023 he said "There is no such thing as Palestinians." - In March 2023, Smotrich visited France and spoke at a podium featuring a map of "Greater Israel".
"Greater Israel" includes: The entirety of Palestine The entirety of Jordan Parts of Iraq Parts of Lebanon Parts of Syria Parts of Egypt Parts of Turkey Parts of Saudi Arabia

Did Israel Know About October 7th 1 YEAR Prior? In this thread we’ll go through every piece of evidence that suggests Israel was aware of Hamas’ attack, before it even took place.
-
Jericho Wall Over a year ago, Israeli military and intelligence officials obtained a 40-page-document which outlined Hamas’ battle plan for October 7th. Israeli authorities code-named the document, “Jericho wall”.
The document did not set a date for the attack, but when compared to October 7th, it becomes extremely clear that Hamas carried out the attack almost exactly like what was laid out in ‘Jericho Wall’. “Hamas followed the blueprint with shocking precision,” wrote The New York Times.
The document called for drones to knock out security cameras and automated machine guns along the border, a barrage of rockets at the beginning of the attack, and Hamas fighters to pour into Israel via paraglides, motorcycles and on foot. All of the above took place on October 7th.
Hamas also had information on sensitive Israeli data. This information included: ⃠Details about the location and size of Israeli military forces. ⃠Details on Israeli communication hubs. ⃠Details on key Israeli military bases.
This lead to Israeli officials suspecting leakers within Israel’s security establishment. The 40-page-document circulated widely among Israeli military and intelligence leaders, but they determined that an attack of such magnitude was beyond Hamas’ capabilities. -
3 Months Prior In July this year, a veteran analyst with Unit 8200, Israel’s signals intelligence agency- *Off topic point* The company that verifies User’s ID on X was founded by former members of Israel’s Unit 8200. *Back to the topic* warned that Hamas had been conducting training exercise’s that were very similar to what was outlined in Jericho wall. “I utterly refute that the scenario is imaginary,” the analyst wrote in email exchanges.
The Hamas training exercise fully matched “the content of Jericho Wall," she said. “It is a plan designed to start a war,” she added. “It’s not just a raid on a village.” However, a colonel in Israel's Gaza division brushed off her concerns and said the exercise was part of a “totally imaginative” scenario, and that it wasn’t something that Hamas could pull off.

3 Days Prior The Head of the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, Michael McCaul, told reporters that Egypt had “warned the Israelis three days prior than an event like this could happen.” "I don't want to get too much into classified, but a warning was given," said McCaul.
Furthermore, an Egyptian intelligence official told AP News that Cairo had given the Israelis multiple warnings about “something big” being planned in Gaza. "We have warned them an explosion of the situation is coming, and very soon, and it would be big.
But they underestimated such warnings," said the official. Netanyahu denied receiving such warnings and called it "absolutely false".

Suspected Insider Trading Traders earned MILLIONS short selling stocks days ahead of October 7th.
Unidentified traders made wagers against the worth of a bundle of Israeli stocks just five days before Hamas entered Israel.
This resulted in a “significant spike in short selling” of that fund, according to a study by Robert J. Jackson Jr. of New York University School of Law and Joshua Mitts of Columbia Law School. “Our findings suggest that traders informed about the coming attacks profited from these tragic events,”
Jackson and Mitts wrote. Jackson and Mitts added: “The short selling that day far exceeded the short selling that occurred during numerous other periods of crisis, including the recession following the financial crisis, the 2014 Israel-Gaza war, and the covid-19 pandemic.” -
Summary
⃠Israel had a 40-page-document outlining Hamas’ plan of attack for October 7th a year prior, but chose to ignore it.
⃠An Israeli intelligence agent warned that Hamas were carrying out training exercises that were extremely similar to what was outlined in ‘Jericho Wall’, but her concerns were ignored.
⃠An Egyptian intelligence official said that he had warned Netanyahu multiple times that “something big” was being planned in Gaza 3 days prior, but Netanyahu denies receiving such a warning.
⃠Traders earned MILLIONS short selling stocks days ahead of October 7th, directly profiting from Hamas’ invasion of Israel. After having read this thread, Do you believe Israel were well aware of Hamas’ plans, but chose to let it happen anyway so that they’d be able to use it as an excuse to obliterate Gaza?
DJ, on top of that extremist "israeli" ministers/politicians had their own "militia" possibly involved in some october 7 events...
"israeli" NATO tanks/helicopters did shoot at Hamas held positions not only killing Hamas fighters but also hostages...Of the 1200-1400 civilians killed up to 80% was killed by "israel terrorists"...Buildings show damage that simply can not be made by Hamas weapons -most small weapons to be transported on a motorbike/paraglider...
Not Houthis! India's Probe Finds Smoking Gun On Who Attacked Ship Near Gujarat I Israel | Iran
-
Days after the Israel-Hamas war virtually reached India's shores in the form of a commercial ship being attacked with a drone near Gujarat, Hindustan Times has accessed inside information of what the investigation so far has revealed.
The Indian Navy and Coast Guard, which responded to MV Chem Pluto's distress call on December 21, recovered evidence in the form of what appear to be wings of a drone, burnt to a crisp in the attack. Sources have revealed that the wings are likely to belong to a Shahed 136, a loitering munition or suicide drone, which is made by Iran. This appears to prove right what the US military had said a day after the incident. Watch the full video for more.
DJ, NOT FOR A MOMENT !!!! I do believe Iran would attack an Indian tanker in the Indian Ocean !!!!!
-Iran is making billions from Russia-Iran-India trade
-India (to bypass Pakistan) is involved in port/energy in southern Iran...
Since we are in a worsening BRICS-extra-nato war very likely "another dirty game" is being played...
Ukraine Uses People With Special Needs On The Front Line. Military Summary And Analysis 2023.12.30
a comment;If this special needs case is not a false flag and not isolated, then the West is surely culpable and complicit because the very stereotype of bandera is this kind of idea of removing the weak and needy from the system. This is what the West is knowingly waving the flag (literally and figuratively) for. This will get the West utterly condemned.
When a national government refuses to protect the lives and property of its own citizens in favor of the greed and self-interest of its ruling political class, the government is illegitimate and forfeits any claim on the loyalty of its citizens.
DJ...So ukraine nazi's sending handicapped to the frontline to "get rid of them"...in a war that should be over...nazi-nato attacking a Russian border town christmas market "just to kill Russians"...YES-Russian night time attacks on Ukraine military infrastructure did see civilians killed-very likely most of them by ukraine/nato air defense...Russia does see Ukrainians as "a brother nation"...bandera-fascists -with nato help- see Russians (a.o.) as sub human...
Congratulations #Israel, your #Gaza bombing campaign is the most destructive this century, and now decent people around the world hate you for this #genocide
DJ, The usa sending 155 mm shells, bombs etc to its "israel proxy" -with 90% of Palestinians homeless and 40% of them starving...
--------
After the (very likely false) claim of a Russian missile flying over Poland -now a nazi-nato coordinated mass murder in Belgorad..is genocide-joe realy pushing for global war ?
India will talk with Iran and Russia to find out who used an Iran-made drone to attack an Indian tanker in the Indian Ocean...
"the west" trying to steal Russian reserves to fund more war is getting more and more isolated/hated...
Double standards, ignoring the genocide in Palestine, this "west" is run by a rotten corrupt "political elite" .

By now, seven hotels where I stayed and four restaurants where I had eaten in Ukraine have been struck by Russian missiles. Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Kramatorsk, Druzhkivka, Pokrovsk… twitter.com/maria_avdv/sta…
As I told you some hours ago - all NATO mercs meeting points and assembling areas are now going to be wiped out.
Do you get it now?
No mercy - NOW you will see what the difference between a special military operation and a WAR is.
You begged for it - delivering time is now.
DJ, there are also claims Russia shooting down NATO "israel proxy" drones from Syria...
The BRICS-extra war with nato gets uglier each day...Very likely "the rest of the world" starts realizing "the west" (with a racist ideology) is trying to keep exploiting them...
We may be moving towards a scenario where non-nato-nato members (integrated in many ways in nato) will stop to excist...So far the Ukraine and Palestine wars did see less than 1 million killed...Will we be over 10 million, 20 million killed end of 2024 ?
Will nato also start a regime-change war in Serbia ?
Is the only way to stop western confrontation insanity an all out attack by the rest of the world ?
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. ~Albert Einstein
are we collectively going through a mental health crisis or have we already lost touch with reality?
DJ, Jeffrey Sachs had a talk with Judge Napolitano on You Tube; war as an investment...The US is "investing" in Ukraine/Palestine-90% of the investment returns to the US war industry...
It does not matter if there is any other point for war..."war is good for the US economy"....sick !
If 200 Israelis were murdered in the last 24 hrs, it would be the top headline on every mainstream US media outlet. But it's Palestinians getting killed, so it's nowhere to be seen on US networks. When the victims are invisible, it's easier for monstrous policies to continue.
Israel just bombed the Capitol of Lebanon -- Beirut and the UK's Channel 4 News calls it an explosion. This is not journalism, this is whitewashing Israeli war crimes.
The likely next Prime Minister of Britain said Israel had the right to cut off food, water and electricity to 2.3 million imprisoned people, half children. Britain—and those around world—should be fearful of what’s coming. Keir Starmer is a moral monster.
It’s interesting how ISIS pops up after being dormant just to attack on Iran the moment that John Bolton and the neocons are ramping up calls for war against that country. It’s almost as interesting as ISIS never attacking Israel in all these years. You do the math .
Who is Behind the Deadly Iran Bombing and Why? How the US Backed Terrorism in Iran for Years
...will we get "IS" now fighting BRICS ? NATO lying they are fighting IS-while they are not only creating IS but used IS in lots of wars...US/CIA flying "IS commanders" from Libya, Syria, Yemen even Ukraine...and "now IS is fighting Iran"...according to "western media/propaganda...."

I asked Dershowitz about Ghislaine and Epstein’s suspected ties to Mossad to which he replied HE had been working with the Israeli govt for decades and they’d never hire Epstein. I also asked if Epstein killed himself to which he at first replied “no”. Then things went sideways…
BREAKING: Israel has now killed 12,040 Palestinian children in Gaza in 90 days. 12,040 children. Western regimes cry crocodile tears for Ukraine while they applaud the mass murder of children in Gaza.
"Now in its fifth year, SARS-CoV-2 has once again proved to be highly resilient. Yet we continue to make-believe that the pandemic is over, that infections have been transformed to common cold status, and that life has returned to normal. Sadly, none of this is true."
Ultimately, the #climate crisis is a food crisis. Rice output in India may drop 8% due to a sharp fall in winter crops. Meaning they are curbing exports again. Expect prices of commodities to skyrocket as yields fall. A major recession looks likely.
DJ, wars = healthissues....refugees, suffering...
Both in Palestine and Ukraine NATO is responsible for famines and public health collapse...Ukraine may see extreme cold weather this january...it WILL KILL thousends !
Old people freezing to death in bad housing !
Both in Palestine and Ukraine western puppit fascists may be in their last days in power...Next step is "cleaning up" western "politics" !
Will that take till coming summer ? Or could a cold winter and economic collapse see "unrest" exploding even sooner ?

Anthony Blinken is the United States Secretary of State. Blinken’s stepfather was Samuel Pisar.
Pisar was the longtime lawyer and confidant of Robert Maxwell.
Robert Maxwell was a Mossad spy who had one of the biggest funerals in Israel’s history, a funeral which was attended by both the Prime Minister and President of Israel at the time.
Robert Maxwell was the father of Ghislaine Maxwell.
Ghislaine Maxwell was the wife of Jeffery Epstein who also, as well as Epstein, was an asset to multiple intelligence agencies, including Mossad, who helped Epstein run his child sex trafficking ring.
Interesting right?
DJ, when I look at also NL "media" NATO is 100% behind its proxies "israel" and "ukraine"...
The Gaza-genocide only did get worse with "israel" now also using fire/incendiary bombs, cluster ammo in Gaza.
My view;
-Hezbollah, Iran did see "israel/IS" mass murders in Lebanon, Iran, Syria, Iraq.
-US attacking "Iran backed" opposition forces...even if no proof of any Iran link (Iraq nationalists-sometimes even also fighting Iran inside Iraq)
-Yemen-Houthis may now be using long range (2000 kilometer) missiles against western shipping
-Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye may see no pointfor any talks with who ?
-"israel" in talks with some countries to deport millions of "non-Jews" from "greater israel"
Hassan Nasrallah: “Today there is an opportunity to get rid of the presence of American forces in Iraq and get rid of the falsehood of the American narrative of fighting ISIS. The Americans use ISIS as an excuse to stay in Iraq, but ISIS is an American creation, Trump admitted this.”
DJ, Russia changed its position towards "israel". BRICS-extra would welcome more West Asian partners if they want to be constructive. "israel" has become that destructive Russia will "limit" further actions in the region. Russian air defense /Electronic Warfare (EW)/radar in Syria allows it even to close "israel air space"....
The main reason why the Palestine genocide goes on is NATO is backing it. Countries so far tried to avoid a major war with NATO.
By now they may have to switch to plan "B" -since plan "A" -diplomacy- is totally blocked (again-like with Ukraine) by NATO.
Since ALL !!!!! of the region wants NATO to move out, the genocide stopped, I expect a "very major military action" by a very wide coalition. (From Jordan to Iran, Marocco to Pakistan...Malaysia, Indonesia ?)
BRICS-extra may -by now- have decided the "NATO west" only gets a message if it is brought in a very hard way....
DJ-A very high risk scenario could be "days of rain of missiles" ending "israel" and destroying ANY NATO presence in the region...(killing tens of thousends NATO military !)
----------------
DJ, After NATO "ukraine" attack on Belgorod christmas market, other attacks to kill Russians inside Russia (simply because they are Russian) and more attacks on the Black Sea fleet -already away from Crimea; Russia may see no other alternative than to go after NATO presence in Ukraine.
-US drones over the Black Sea are directing US/NATO weapons (only "ukrainian" on it is the flag painted on it)
-NATO military/volunteers have been killed in recent strikes on hotels a.o. in Kiev, Charkow (a.o. using North Korean missiles)
-New anti-ship drones-with missiles, just arrived in Odesa also were destroyed
-"ukraine" may have hardly any air defense left
-zelensky may try to stay out of Ukraine because he may NOT survive any longer inside Ukraine...most Ukrainians want him "out"
Military Summary/MS (a.o. based on M.I.6/UK intel) Russia may move into Ukraine from the north (january 15). MS made the very good point that a major attack would see preparation steps; from blood donors/hospital capacity to concentration of forces. So far not yet clear near the borders...
Extreme cold weather/snow is expected to hit hard in the region. However Russia has enough means how to deal with it...
DJ-March this year Putin hopes/will get reelected. By that time it "would be very welcome" to see a " major victory" (or an end to this war...

After days of artillery fighting in #Gaza's Middle Area and following late morning evacuation order flyers dropped by Israeli forces for neighborhoods around #AlAqsa hospital where MSF works, MSF took the difficult decision to evacuate staff and their families from the area.
DJ, starting a war is a crime in itself. The mass murder in Gaza is one of the worst crimes since 1945....Again-the main reason why it is not stopped is NATO is covering it..."self defense-lies"...
"Strike" kills, not "Israeli strike". There is a script to follow if you want to keep your job.

Biden is everything people feared Trump would be. A genocidal monster facilitating racially motivated murder and ethnic cleansing while rapidly accelerating toward a nuclear-age world war. Nothing Trump did was as evil as what Biden has been doing. Biden is the real Trump.
DJ, the way it looks now in november the US voters can choose between two unfit criminals for "POTUS"....Democracy has become democrazy....an insult to the basic idea of "representation for the people by the people".....
The fact that Secretary Austin spent four days in intensive care and it was apparently not reported to the White House or the leadership of the Senate for at least 3 days is incomprehensible. US Armed Forces are deployed in Eastern Europe and across the Middle East as a result of two major conflicts that have the potential to become regional wars, especially in the Middle East. Americans who assume the government is in safe hands should be asking why the lights are on in the White House but no one is apparently home??
DJ, After "trump" the world hoped for some perspectives from the US....they got biden....
-----------
BRICS-extra may be growing by the day. All the west can offer is war & debt.....
DJ, NATO is asking, demanding, more wars....BRICS-extra refusing (so far) to agree to more insanity....
However....there has to be a perspective for BRICS-extra...For now de-$-ization may make more wars "hard" for US warmongers....but they still could go for nuclear blackmail.
"the west" never was a 100% united...even inside NATO there was division on Ukraine, new members....
European interests are NOT the same as US (or UK) ones....Even present EU leaders may "change masks" in that way distance themselves from genocide-joe....
In my eyes "biden" should be on the list of a top 20 of most evil persons in the world....The "only good thing" is he is already 81....the world will be a much better place without him !
Of course "neo-cons" and war mongers/Military Industrial Complex plus banksters have been pushing the US into wars for decades....Often fighting regimes/leaders they once supported/bring to power (again hitler came to power with lots of US support ! To "stop stalin"...it is not black & white...lots of grey...).
The "Multi Polar World" already is the dominant factor. It is sad to see in history major changes, the "birth of a new era", means bloodshed....
We urgently need global cooperation and non-capitalistic ways to get out of the present many crisis....Blind capitalism did see every crisis being used to make a profit...NOT solving the crisis but exploiting it....
We can only hope change will come in time to limit (already very major) further damage...
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. ~Albert Einstein
This satanic monster Roman Shukhevych, the supreme commander of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, ordered his men to hold Polish babies against tree and hammer nail into their forehead while their mothers were being raped. He is the national hero of Ukraine! It just doesn't register in my mind ! From this Monday; I will be posting firsthand testimonies of the survivors of Volhynia and East Galicia massacre at the hand of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists never heard in the English Speaking world ! #RomanShukhevych#Ukraine#SlavaUkraini
‘Palestinians tortured. The vast majority no affiliation to Hamas, Israeli officials confirmed. Some never returned. Electric shocks, burned with lighters, spat in mouths, deprived of sleep & food. Some died’ The Israel govt has full support of UK & US.
Wael Al Dahdouh is one of Gaza's most prominent journalists. Israeli forces have killed his wife, his 7-year old daughter, his 15-year old son, eight other relatives, his cameraman, and now his eldest son and fellow journalist, Hamza. This regime must be stopped.
In just 3 months, it seems Israel has done every sadistic, cruel & shockingly violent thing imaginable & proudly showed off about it to a population that either overwhelmingly supports its actions or thinks they should be more violent. It’s hard to imagine a more depraved entity.
another western ally...."israel nazi-NATO proxy" killed 10% of journalists in Gaza, 1% of the total population...with western help "israel" can kill all Palestinians...
Even in NL "politics" is silent...what happened with democracy ?

Strategy to De-Dollarize: China's Deal With Saudi Arabia Is Part of The Plan To Weaken U.S. Dollar
DJ, in the present NATO-BRICS war economy is the main frontline.
De-dollar-ization by BRICS is pushing US-interest rates up. Only very high US interest rates may convince any investor to buy a part of US record debts. Soon the US will see interest payments as the main item on their budget...Military spending also may increase-however- the costs go up with much less in return for each $...
Confrontation politics by crazy joe biden is destroying the US ! It is also breaking up NATO ! In some ways biden is doing what trump claim he would do; end NATO, support "israel" to its collapse...
DJ-Like earlier NATO military disasters Ukraine is just next in line...It also offers a glimpse on how "israel" will end; Palestine will be free - from the river to the sea !
Palestine may be integrated in BRICS -in my view. It can become a constructive player in West Asia, a major link inside BRICS between Asia and Africa.
-"israel" had a chance and blew it...
-The EU had a chance and blew it...
So BRICS will concentrate on partners that are willing to be constructive; make trade NOT war !
Lena Petrova in her video also mentioned Milei/Argentina...after just one week in office he needed to talk with China on Argentina debts, currency...China is willing to talk if Milei is willing to "be constructive"....More links with the US may only sink Argentina faster...
DJ, Again-when I look at how fast the German Weimar republic financial collapse went-such a process can happen in MONTHS !!!! It should be a warning to "the west" ; dollar, Euro, UK-pound may "collapse" THIS YEAR !!!!
We could see hyperinflation -an outcome of several processes- within a few months...A main driver is energy-Why should any country make a deal with the present west on energy if other "partners" make better offers in hard currency ?
But also food may become a major issue...the import that used to go to the west may now go to other buyers...
On top of that climate, pandemic problems see western production decrease...further increasing inflation...
---------
There is talks on US-UK going after "Houthi's" in Yemen...That nation has been under Saudi/western attack since 2014 and won...The idea that a few western missiles would bring back the Red Sea under western control is totally unrealistic...it may even worsen the situation for "the west" with western navy ships getting destroyed...Further showing western military limits...
And again-for what ? So "israel" can keep killing Palestinians ?
Western "foreign policy" has been colonial and supporting genocide since 1945...It did not change a bit..."white men rule" ....exploitation...
BRICS has a better offer...In october in Kazan (east of Moscow) BRICS may welcome new members (DJ-between 5 to 10 to join officially BRICS ? ) in practice a lot of BRICS trade is already becoming the global dominant trade...outside the western currencies and with only very limited trade with "the west"...
Stealing Russian reserves to use it in the Ukraine NATO made war only further undermines any trust countries may have had in "the west"....
Again-"we are doing this to ourselves"...(what must the "world" think with US "elections" between fools like biden or trump...with idiots like h.clinton, nikki haley, blinken etc still in powerfull positions...If the US think they can even stay in a top 10 for global power on this basis they are even more out of contact with reality...)...

SnowStorm | Russia Opens The Kharkov Front. Desperate Times In Ukraine. Military Summary 2024.01.10
DJ, MS comes up with some good arguments for a second front near Belgorod. A buffer-region 10 miles/16 kilometers would save the Russian border area from Ukraine nazi's trying to kill Russian citizens...In march elections in Russia Putin may want to get a major support...
Another reason for a second front could be to "finish" Ukraine...
However opening a second front will see many losses-so I (DJ) have my doubts. More likely Russia may go for an artillery attack to demilitarize the border...(full of mines).
This avoidable NATO/biden war has close to 1,000 Ukraine "soldiers" (often untrained-picked up from a street-in uniform-on the front within 24 hrs) killed per day...
DJ, Hamas is supposed to have around 30,000 fighters in Gaza...by now 3,000 to 9,000 may have been killed at very high cost for NATO-proxy "israel"...Besides the Hamas fighters "israel" killed 25,000 civilians...with essential NATO supplies. Without NATO the mass murder would be over...
Close to 10% of the "israeli-proxy" population did leave Palestine.
netanyahu/biden want to widen the war to all of West Asia. Very likely growing unease also in western military elite.
NATO has destroyed lots of countries and killed very likely over 10 million people since 1991-end of the Soviet Union/Warsaw Pact. NATO has shown itself to be successor of nazi-germany in many ways...Both NATO and nazi's were funded by a war industry and their banksters...fighting for oil and gas...
The present NATO war is to "stop BRICS"...it is destroying the west just like nazi's destroyed Germany...
The #US is moving quickly to organise and condemn #Yemen's Ansar Allah at the UN Security Council, but opposes any ceasefire and condemnation of #Israel's crimes and violations of international laws. The US insists on losing more global credibility.
DJ, western "double standards" undermine democracy...
It's a major misconception that Israel's war on Gaza is a response to October 7. It isn't. This is a premeditated ethnic cleansing of a Palestinian territory Israel has long desired for its own. October 7 — which was almost certainly allowed to happen — is only the justification.
1. Israel begins destroying Gaza
2. ADL starts counting anti-Zionism as antisemitism
3. People begin opposing Zionism because Zionism is killing Gazans
4. ADL reports massive spike in "antisemitism"
5. Huge push to make that antisemitism spike the focus instead of Israel's crimes
DJ, western media is partner in crime...ignoring/cover up of crime...

Breaking: Houthi forces have transported some weapons and equipment and fortified others in anticipation of a strike by the U.S. and its allies, a U.S. defense official and a person close to the Houthis says - WSJ
Maritime executives have been told by Western diplomats that targets would likely include missile and drone launch sites, radars and weapons depots around the Yemeni cities of Hodeida and Hajjah. Infrastructure in the capital San’a is also on the list of possible targets - WSJ
The Middle East is braced on Thursday for U.S.-led coalition strikes on Houthi positions
The United States and the United Kingdom carried out precision strikes on a dozen military sites used by the Houthis in Yemen on Thursday night in response to the group's continued attacks on commercial cargo ships and tankers in the Red Sea since the outbreak of the Gaza war.
US and UK combat aircraft, joined by US warships and at least one submarine fired more than 100 precision-guided munitions, including Tomahawk cruise missiles, starting around 2:30 a.m. local time Friday, suppressing air defenses by targeting radar systems, two US defense officials told Al-Monitor.
More than 60 targets, including facilities used by the Houthis to store and launch drones, cruise and ballistic missiles, were struck at 16 different locations, US Central Command said following the attacks.
The targets were chosen specifically in order to disrupt the Houthis' ability to continue to their attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea while minimizing risk to civilians, defense officials said.
After its failures during twenty years of War Of Terror one wonders how many weddings the U.S. strike in Yemen has hit.
The Houthi will, of course, retaliate.
If I were a sailor on a U.S. Navy ship in the Red Sea or Persian Gulf I would now put on a rescue vest and sleep on the deck.
DJ, my view, next step in NATO-BRICS-extra war on global domination. NATO as a neo-colonial force fighting for "rules based" racism and "right to exploit" the rest of the world...
Biden's bombing Yemen so Israel can keep bombing Gaza. Enabling genocide is taking us to the brink of WWIII. Vote the warmongers out before they get us all killed.
DJ, US, UK, NL, Australia, Canada and Bahrain attacking Yemen...a country destroyed by NATO agression since [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yemeni_civil_war_(2014%E2%80%93present)[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yemeni_civil_war_(2014%E2%80%93present) 2014...

US Decided To Have War With Iran! Act 1: Setting The Stage To Play The Victim.
The direct and open attack of US and UK forces on military bases in Yemen are the start of the war with Iran that the Neocons have been wanting to fight for so lang.
This attack all but guarantees that the Huthis will strike a US ship in the Red Sea, sink it, and thereby give the US the necessary pretext to faint "an unprovoked attack" on its military and then strike back with everything at its disposal against the people it blames for the attack.
The strategy is utterly clear: linking the Huthis directly to Iran, and getting the Huthis to kill a couple of US military service men/women, which will be the excuse for full-blown war. This will be the war with Iran that was actually averted during the tanker crisis in the strait of Hormuz (during the Trump years), 5 years ago.
DJ, NATO has been provoking wars with BRICS for over a decade...Russia did act to stop NATO moving into Ukraine in support of Ukraine extremists killing Russian speakers...
My view; YES, it is very likely NATO, "a coalition of the willing" is preparing for a major attack on Iran "restoring order so "israel" can keep murdering Palestinians...
YES, Very likely by now BRICS is ready for such western escalation..
YES, This may mean lots of NATO planes/missiles being shot down
even more NATO illegal bases in Iraq, Syria will get attacked...
NO !!!!! BRICS-extra will NOT give NATO the war it wants...Like we do see in Syria, Ukraine BRICS is managing the conflicts...Russia does have a strategy and clear goals there...
So-in Ukraine a change of strategy has to do some good for Russia-a buffer zone near Belgorod/Kursk Ukraine-Russian border may offer a bit more security for Russians in the border area...Maybe a major offensive-to end the Kiev NATO puppet regime may be of use...
For now the west did see 1/3 of its air defense destroyed in Ukraine...with lots of NATO weapons now being destroyed in Palestine...
So-BRICS-extra is winning already, so why change strategy ?
A major NATO attack on BRICS-member Iran may result in BRICS-extra stopping all trade with NATO...Even further weakening US$, €, UK-pound...
BRICS-extra is already fighting NATO and time is on the side of BRICS-extra !
-------
In october this year in Kazan-Russia BRICS has to decide on new members...with more than 30 countries willing to join...
Bankrupt NATO is getting more aggressive and more bankrupt each day...The "west" has nothing to offer-only exploitation and poverty...
------------
The nuclear option may be the last "card" crazy neo-cons, neo-liberals will use...However US nuclear weapons are not the most modern ones...often "slow"...
A US nuclear attack may be noticed in time and see a lot of US nuclear weapons explode near their bases..if that base is in the US, Europe or a US submarine...it does not matter.
Even if BRICS would not counter attack -only stop a NATO nuclear attack- the damage would be that extreme it would be the end of us all...
-----------
The only way out is western leaders getting more realistic-willing to talk, compromise...
Moral Injury occurs when one has a vision of the world as fundamentally fair and good and something witness destroys that vision. Our youth suffer from this, seeing
Moral Injury often doesn’t stem from one-time cataclysmic events. Suffering a “death by a thousand cuts” causes cumulative psychological trauma whether the source is #climatechange or #Israel killing innocent babies and children every day in #Gaza for almost 100 days.
and other Western leaders were “good guys” but images we see every day of the slaughter in #Gaza by #Israel cheerled by Western media and leaders gives us cognitive dissonance, and severe Moral Injury.
DJ, I believed in western democracy, the EU, fair trade etc. I am shocked to see the nightmare we are in since biden became US president...Is he unable to not end up in fights all over the globe ?
Why do "western leaders" join this insanity ? Where is the "free media"? Opposition parties ?
This is democrazy...a nightmare...

SnowStorm | 95% Of Ukrainians Refuse To Follow Orders | Big Lancet Day. Military Summary 2024.01.14
DJ, Ukraine "soldiers" asked to take a step forward if they did not want to fight...MS; 90/95% of them stepping forward...The Ukraine nazi-NATO proxy picking up men from the street - often sending them to a frontline within a day...without even basic training...
MS earlier claimed most "new soldiers" have Hungarian, Russian etc roots...NOT Ukrainian...More and more women stop "recruiters" hijacking their sons, husbands, brothers to die in an avoidable criminal war..
-UK "pm" sunak may be the first to sign a "security agreement" with Ukraine...Lots of other western countries may follow...De facto making "ukraine" even more a NATO-proxy...
--------
-Germany may join a "western coalition" in the Red Sea..."protecting" western shipping/"israel"-Russian, Chinese etc. ships have no problems...NATO is fully enabling the Gaza mass murder...
Watch a time lapse video showing the enormous size of the historic National #March4Gaza! Organizers estimate that 400,000 attended Initiated by the American Muslim Task Force for Palestine with ANSWER as National Partner, the action demanded: end the US-Israeli genocide in Gaza!
DJ, in the "west" politics has become a cult of its own...politicians only following other politicians...going more extreme each day...NOT solving-only worsening-problems at home by spending by now trillions on insane number of wars...
yeah great but the аirstrikes you funded over the last 100 days have emitted more co2 than 20 nations do annually
DJ-just a reminder; wars never are enviromental friendly...wars always worsen public health...In Gaza NATO-proxy "israel" is creating a famine and a health crisis already killing dozens per day...Most at risk are (young) children and the elderly...
South Africa’s genocide case against Israel is strong – and may win | Kenneth Roth
DJ, South Africa ("nation of monkeys" some "israeli leaders" claim) may widen the case to include also the USA...(DJ-They could include also UK, NL, Germany -the ICJ may have no other option than to find these "western democrazies" guilty of genocide...)
Let's see how the intervening states stack up. For: South Africa (suffered Apartheid) Namibia (suffered genocide and Apartheid) Bangladesh (suffered two genocides) Against: Israel (doing Apartheid, genocide) Germany (did several genocides)
DJ, Genocide is NOT new...what may be relatively new is international law meant to stop it...
Nearly 200 peoole at the Hustings to choose an independent candidate in Ilford North to stand against Wes Streeting. He has condemned South Africa for its charge of genocide against Israel. The community will choose its candidate and hundreds will campaign to elect her/him.
DJ, In the UK "new labour" may be even worse than the "conservatives"...tony bLiar destroyed Labour...In Germany the "green party" showed itself to be war mongers...(In Germany some AfD-members may have had talks with neo-nazi's on kicking out muslims...millions of them...The NL "pvv" may hardly be any better...Again-WHO is funding fascist parties all over the west ? Do we see history repeating itself-100 years ago a rich elite sponsored hitler and nazi's...)...
The West Gathers Forces | Iranian-Russian Defense Alliance | Military Summary 2024.01.15
DJ, a main reason why NATO-proxy "israel" can go on killing hundreds of Palestinians per day is NATO protection...So the rest of the world is making plans how to stop this -next- NATO genocide by proxy (after the "ukraine" genocide on Russians...).
-There have been attacks on NATO/US bases in Syria/Iraq a.o. by Iran (in reaction to "IS=US terrorism in Iran).
-Yemen Houthis keep attacking western shipping in the Red Sea/Gulf of Aden.
-In the "west" growing repression...(In Germany "Stop Gaza-genocide" now labelled as anti-semitism...even if orthodox Jews see it as a genocide...).
DJ; Western propaganda now promoting the idea "Russia planning to invade the Baltics"....biden would love to see "more Russian agression" to get "four more years"...
My view; Even a second major Russian offensive -as part of Putin his re-election campain (Russian elections in march) - I think is not very likely...Russia may seek better border security-but may not need to invade northern Ukraine for that...
Ukraine losses in this -again avoidable- war may be close to 500,000 (most) soldiers killed or severly wounded...Russian numbers may be close to 100,000 killed/badly wounded...Worse than the US losses in Vietnam. So a high priority for Russia (and Putin) has to be limiting losses...
The Russian goals are clear, Ukraine not in NATO, de-nazification/safety for Russian minority...
-For the Baltics the corridor linking Kaliningrad with Russia is important. Latvia has a responsibility -by treaty-to keep landlinks (road/railroad) open...
-Russian minorities in the Baltics (dating back to USSR/Soviet times) are treated as "second class"/forced to give up Russian even in social live...DJ-If Baltic countries start killing Russians Russia will react...
BREAKING: Starmer has officially dumped Labour's promise to recognise Palestine as a state.
DJ, in the west the gap between "political party criminals" and the population is getting bigger by the day...Palestine is on a BRICS new possible members list...
-A two state solution only works if "israel" is willing to accept it...so far it is not..."israel" trying to push for "greater israel"...
China-Egypt talks still try to find a two-state solution...
-"Palestine" -including "israel" maybe Jordan, (and Gaza, West Bank) may become an alternative...
-De facto NATO is supporting its proxy in another "one state="israel" -solution"...

Israeli occupation forces open fire on Palestinians in Gaza trying to get food after 100 days of bombing and starvation.
DJ, the "west" denying Yemen/Red Sea has any link to the Gaza-genocide....again...the rest of the world is linking both...A ceasefire in Gaza would END Yemen/Houthi actions in the Red Sea...
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and French President Emmanuel Macron are at the end of their respective tethers. They are close to being removing from power. Their populations are discontent. People all over the world are waking up.
and
We have a supposed election coming in November, but between now and then, people are beginning to realize the entire economy could collapse. The financial system is already in crisis and frankly we could be at war with any number of countries between now and November.
DJ, my view; most people in the west have other priorities than "fighting Russia" or "supporting israel/netanyahu"...Container-shipping via South Africa instead of the Red Sea increases cost of transport with 30/35%...cost an extra 9 days...With South Africa (BRICS) only willing/able to deal with limited increase of shipping...
--------------
Are we moving towards "World War Three"???
-BRICS wants to avoid that...so far "make trade not war" is effective in a.o. de-dollar-ization...In this NATO-BRICS conflict BRICS is getting stronger, NATO is getting weaker...(Türkiye could switch to BRICS...other NATO countries in the east of Europe also may reconsider their position (Greece, Hungary...)
-The risks for a World War Three does come from overestimating themselves/underestimating others by "western leaders"...A total lack of any sense of reality did bring us into this global crisis...NO-sanctions did NOT break Russia...NO-Iran is not intimidated by western agression-fighting back
-BRICS IS a growing economic AND !!!! military power ! Somehow the "west" seems unable to get that....BRICS does NOT need one currency for trade...they are simply using their own or "friendly" currencies...both the US$, UK-pound and €/Euro are losing ground...
-The "west" is "based on debts"...and now is facing the limit...Why should China -or even Japan !!!- buy US state bonds ?
DJ-A small elite group in the west is pushing for more war...in part making money from it...If CoViD/healthcrisis gets much worse, climate disasters are a "new normal" western citizens may get "totally fed up" with that "democrazy-elite" destroying the west...BRICS may be counting on that...

Iran's Ruthless Attack | The Russians Went On The Offensive. Military Summary For 2024.01.16
MS had a video of a man in Ukraine shooting at recruiters trying to force him into the NATO made "army" to die on a frontline...The "west" keeps sending weapons to "zelenski", "netanyahu" and other scum in NATO-proxy states...
I revealed some VERY dicey information about Discussions I had while working with the FBI as a National Security Intelligence Asset, about potentially traveling to Iran back in the early 2000's for a "Conference" which David Duke, I, and others, had been invited to, and how my discussions with FBI involved me potentially ASSASSINATING then-President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who would be in attendance at that event.
The then-President of Iran looked like a "student" who, back in 1979 or so, helped seize the US Embassy in Tehran, and held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days. From that day, I viewed Iran as "The Bad Guys" and when I was invited to the event in Iran back in the early 2000's, it would have been the perfect opportunity for us to get even for that Embassy thing. Specifically, I suggested I use Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) on a radio microphone, handing it to the then-president to "interview him for my radio show, and having the DMSO soak into his hand from the mic. The DMSO on the mic would be carrying a slow acting poison or biological agent, to kill him.
You see, the Intel community knows that DMSO soaks immediately into human skin and it will carry with it, any substance which is miscible (dissolves into) it. So if we mixed-in a slow acting poison, it would be carried by the DMSO into his blood stream and POW, we have our revenge for the Embassy.
24-36 hours after the poison got in, he would be feeling sick. At 48 hours, he would have been dead. Yet I would have been safely out of the country a day earlier, and untouchable by Iran even if they ever figured out what killed him - which they probably couldn't have.
The idea was discussed by me with FBI who discussed it with CIA, and with the US State Department, and was REJECTED. I did not ever go on that trip.
I have __never__ publicly revealed this aspect of my National Security work with FBI before, and I revealed this to point out how far my views have changed regarding other countries around the world versus the United States.
You see, back in the day, I was a true believer in the USA being "Team Good Guy." But I came to find out that isn't true. Not only is the US federal Government NOT "Team Good Guy" they have become, in fact, the most heavily armed gang of criminals on planet earth.
When they talk about the "International Rules Based Order" what they really mean is:
We make the rules.
Everyone else obeys them.
We can change the rules as we see fit, whenever we see fit, to serve our own interests.
No one else gets to say anything about it or we will stomp them economically or militarily.
I told my audience that I have never viewed Iran as the "Good guys" but now, I see them in an entirely different light.
I pointed out the in the past two days, with its ballistic missile strikes against a Mossad Spy operation HQ in Erbil, Iraq, and another strike upon ISIS in Syria, paired with today's missile strikes against Balochistan terrorists in southwestern Pakistan, Iran is actually now slaughtering the PROXIES created, trained, equipped, and funded by the US and the West, to wreak havoc in countries all over the world, so that we maintain our hegemony.
I told my audience that Iran is finally doing BACK to Israel, the US, and the West, what the West has been doing all over the world for decades!
DJ...a good summary of western terror -NATO the gun held to the head of the poor- as "western civilization"....
MS pointed out Iran did go for attacks after signing agreements with Russia...
The Russian foreign minister noted that he has "warm memories" about his visit to Pyongyang last year and the "magnificent hospitality" provided by the North Korean side
DJ, "ukraine" and "israel" are NATO proxies on the western NATO-BRICS front...North Korea/DPRK (South Korea is Republic Of Korea/ROK) is on the eastern front..With South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Philippines supposed to be on the US side...someway...
The southern frontline stretches from Türkiye to Vietnam...however one could see Türkiye/Iran also still as part of the western front...The Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen wars did not result in recolonization by NATO so far...still the war-industry did see their investments in buying western politicians rewarded by making billions in profit...(of course YOU-taxpayer, your children-debts pay...YOU are being exploited to get the evil rich more evil rich...)...
NATO/US is succesfull in keeping conflicts in Kashmir and Myanmar (Birma) ongoing...war=profits !
India so far was "easy to exploit". India was in conflict with both Pakistan and China...so "the west" so far did al it could to increase tensions and conflicts...A major problem now is India may not buy western weapons...
-Of course the "western model" is selling weapons at high costs-creating dependency and steal raw materials (via western mining companies)...countries kept poor since they have to even pay for "western protection" of western companies stealing the wealth of the country...under the protection of a corrupt local elite...
Not only is the US federal Government NOT "Team Good Guy" they have become, in fact, the most heavily armed gang of criminals on planet earth.
When they talk about the "International Rules Based Order" what they really mean is:
We make the rules.
Everyone else obeys them.
We can change the rules as we see fit, whenever we see fit, to serve our own interests.
No one else gets to say anything about it or we will stomp them economically or militarily.
I told my audience that I have never viewed Iran as the "Good guys" but now, I see them in an entirely different light.
DJ, Hal Turner sometimes has "extreme views" in my view...I am left wing...(I do NOT see biden as "left"...) ...in many countries there is a coalition forming of people to the right and left of "corrupt political main stream elite"...US and UK elections -with a choice between one bad guy or another bad guy- is pushing a lot of voters to look for alternatives...
In the US Tulsi Gabbard, in Germany Sahra Wagenknecht may become alternatives...
NATO wars-against 90% of the global population-in the interest of 0,01% rich- HAVE TO STOP NOW !!!!!!
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. ~Albert Einstein
The Nazi termGleichschaltung (German pronunciation:[ˈɡlaɪçʃaltÊŠÅ‹]ⓘ) or "coordination" was the process of Nazification by which Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party successively established a system of totalitarian control and coordination over all aspects of German society and societies occupied by Nazi Germany "from the economy and trade associations to the media, culture and education".[1] Although the Weimar Constitution remained nominally in effect until Germany's surrender following World War II, near total Nazification had been secured by the 1935 resolutions approved during the Nuremberg Rally, when the symbols of the Nazi Party and the state were fused (see Flag of Nazi Germany) and German Jews were deprived of their citizenship (see Nuremberg Laws).
DJ, The US-UK-EU is run by an anti-democratic elite in the interest of another rich elite..."the best politician one can buy"...demo-crazy...
US "Tactically Regroups" In Syria | Russia Hit Ukrainian Base In Kharkov Military Summary 2024.01.17
DJ, Türkiye attacking Kurdish positions in Syria/Iraq...even if US/NATO has positions nearby...Iran destroyed a Kurdish-Iraq oil trading with "israel" place...In words Pakistan protested against the Iran attack on Baluchistan seperatists base in Pakistan (of course if not US created, US supported...)...however it may be Pakistan wanted to get rid of these kinds of "western backed rebels" as well...
Fantasy Davos peace talks. Ukraine raising $300B reparation bonds
DJ, in short;
-"zelensky peace plan" = Russia has to surrender...
- Western central banks would "use" (=steal) Russian reserves in the west to "finance" further weapons for Ukraine..."since ukraine is winning-in their propaganda-western leaders still believe the lies-" Russia would lose that money anyway...
The Duran and Military Summary both point to the Black Sea may become a Russian made "no-fly zone" after failed attacks by "ukraine=NATO" on Russian planes (AWACS etc)...western media continue to follow Ukraine lies....
DJ, Türkiye, Iran, Iraq, Syria in reaction to western support on mass murder of Palestinians are starting to kick out US military from the region...first from Iraq and Syria...next might be US bases getting closed in a.o. Qatar, Jordan, Türkiye...
BRICS is going for member interests...the result is de-dollar-ization...The "west" is bankrupting itself by going for more wars they do not win...
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. ~Albert Einstein
More or less he thinks 2024 may be a repeat of 2023 without any major offensives-both sides would be trying to build up an even bigger army for major fighting in 2025...
DJ-My view; After UK now France, Canada may sign "security pacts" with Ukraine...Russia is signing all kinds of agreements with Iran, North Korea, Syria...On the Russian side also fighters from Cuba, Angola...even (if the info is correct) from Italy...
SnowStorm | Russia Returned Krynky | 80 French Mercenaries Were Ambushed. Military Summary 2024.1.17
DJ, In minute 26 MS mentioned Russian missiles killing 60 French "volunteers"wounding another 20 in Charkow/Kharkiv...
My view;
-Russia is much better in fighting in winter conditions. MS and WU both mentioned Krynky-a small bridgehead on the south/east side of the Dnjepr-river. Maybe the idea was to use that bridgehead as a basis for an offensive in the Crimea-direction...That idea was unrealistic from the start and did cost Ukraine thousends of it best trained and motivated military...
-MS repeating often "acts of democrazy" -Ukraine recruiters trying to "catch young people" to die on a frontline...Those recruiters may be hated as much as zelenski himself...No sane Ukrainian is willing to die for the corrupt crazies in Kiev...
-NATO is "50% involved"...Yes they did send tens of billions worth of weapons to keep the war going...But patriots, bradleys, challengers, leopards etc. FAIL in Ukraine...So promotion value to boost western weapon sales (a main goal for NATO war promotion...) is not working...F16's do not have much chance against modern Russian fighters...
-A main reason for keep pushing this war is if zelenski falls the position of "western leaders" is in danger...In the US "genocide joe" -over 80 y/o- is supposed to be POTUS for four more years...So "Ukraine has to win"....or not lose till november elections...If the US can not provide "help" itself it may do so via its NATO partners...
-NATO is getting more and more divided...The genocide of Palestinians, a possible war with Iran is not what a lot of "western leaders" can sell...
My view; Ukraine may be close to collapse...winter weather always was a major ally of Russia...Long distances another Russian friend..."biden" should have avoided this war.
Joe Biden has to end up in international war crimes tribunal...he may be one of the worst war criminals of this century...
Later part 2; NATO-BRICS war in Asia...
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. ~Albert Einstein
DJ-There was not that much cooperation between "east/rest" and "west"...like other sanctions by the "west" it may result in "the west" only damaging itself...
Alastair Crooke: US Lured Into Battlescape in Gaza, Yemen and now Iraq
DJ...NATO using very expensive air defense against Houthi/Yemen drones costing 2,000 US$/€...
Alastair Crooke also mentions "western propaganda media" ignoring the International Court of Justice genocide case...Lots of non-western countries did see "the west" going for genocide the last 150 years...From Namibia-under German terror rule before 1914, "Belgian"Congo, Iraq with the UK (churchill) using chemical weapons/gas against the Kurds in the '30s...
Yemen did fight the UK in the 60's...now the UK is coming back...In many ways Yemen-since 2014-did see a western genocide with Saudi help...but they still survive...
Of course a lot of countries agree with Russia on its claim of Ukraine treating Russian-speakers in a very bad way...(Since 2014 killing over 14,000 of them...shelling Donetsk etc. after february 2022 to kill civilians - in many ways Ukraine is still trying to kill Russians now...)
Tensions between #Pakistan and #Iran are de-escalating as both countries move on from recent events. There are now quiet diplomatic contacts. Can we please focus on #Gaza now and stop the social media war?
DJ, Iran is BRICS-member, Pakistan is on the BRICS waitinglist...western propaganda would love to see more conflicts in SW Asia...but both Pakistan and Iran may have had enough of "Baluchistan-western backed seperatists"...It is the "west" its dream to split up Russia, Iran...so they support all kind of seperatist groups...
#BreakingNews: #Yemen Ansar Allah attacked a ship that refused to comply with local maritime authorities, a practice adopted by ships carrying goods to #Israel or Israeli-owned ships attempting to break the siege imposed in Bab-el-Madeb in support of the people of #Gaza. #US-UK coalition bombing of #Yemen is pointless and ineffective: Stop the war on #Gaza and stop the bombing of Yemen.
DJ, the "west" did waste over half a billion US$ on four attacks on Yemen...Yemen still attacking western shipping if it does not follow Yemen orders crossing Yemen waters...
#Iran#IRGC is declaring its participation in the defence of #Gaza. It is stepping up confrontation to counter US escalation. #Iran acknowledge the hit of the ship opposite the Maldives and the other 200 miles off the Indian coast (Chen Silicon and Pacific Gold). Iran also fired its missiles to send messages in different directions for this objective.
#Iran has been supporting #Gaza for decades, including in this war, without revealing its participation in intelligence and supply.
Today, the IRGC purposely shares the information of its overt participation for the first time. This is why the information is BIG.
DJ, there have been "stories" on Iran, Türkiye "getting more involved" in the Palestine war against NATO-proxy occupation.
DJ-My view; TIP= Türkiye-Iran-Pakistan is working together to become a link between China and Europe/Africa...I would not be surprised if both Türkiye and Pakistan would become BRICS member per january 2025...It may even be of use for India...
BRICS is a resistance to the United States financial system. People no longer want to do business with America. It's not just Russia, China, Iran, North Korea.. That's all nonsense, there are at least 84 or 85 countries out there headed that way or there.
DJ, A big question is how many countries can join BRICS in what form...Kazan-Russia will see another BRICS-meeting this october...I would not be surprised if earlier (via SCO, EAEU, OPEC+) talks could bring even more "BRICS-extra" trade...
A very major development would be a "merger" between BRICS+-EAEU, SCO and OPEC+...A "new global trade agreement" outside the west...with most Latin American, African and Asian countries joining such an organization...
There may be some sort of agreement on using "major currencies" Rubble, Yuan, Riyal, Rand may become major players...maybe even with some room for the Euro/€ trying to break up the "west" even further...
DJ-Countries kept poor by the west for decades/ages not always have a "real currency"...it may be linked to US$ or former French "Frank"...so there may be a need for an alternative that is NOT making former colonizers/exploiters rich...
Davos has been immensely enlightening. Everything out in the open. War IS Peace. Ukraine is NOT losing and Russia is not winning. If you disagree with us - on ANYTHING - you will be censored for “hate speech”. We want the New World Order - whatever you peasants think - and we want it now. And if all fails, Disease X is comin’ to get ya. Highlights: Toxic EU Medusa; Norwegian Wood; and BlackRock, JP Morgan et al shaking hands with their sweaty sweatshirt toy. Best quote of the week, so far: Jake Sullivan: "Through a combination of steady deterrence and steadfast diplomacy, we seek to stop the spread of conflict and to create the conditions for de-escalation."
DJ...western "leaders" by now start realizing they have already lost the war with BRICS in so many ways...Further confrontation only makes matters worse...
THIS IS HOW BRICS 10 / OPEC+ WORKS The Saudis are issuing US-denominated bonds - that is, they are borrowing dollars - to finance their oil price cuts to Asian clients. Translation: the key target in this price war is to lock US oil exports OUT of Asia. To the benefit, of course, of Saudis and Russians. That is: Opec+. WTI oil prices and US shale production will suffer - badly. THIS is how BRICS 10 in tandem with Opec+ works. As a bonus, they open the way to future, massive petroyuan deals. A thing of beauty: an oil price war to destroy US shale financed by US dollars.
DJ...Saudi Arabia is willing to "invest" in US debts...expecting the US$ to sink...so the debt to the US may vanish...while the US$ are being used to subsidize OPEC-oil...
Western "media" ignore massive protests in solidarity with Gaza in D.C., London...highlight local protests in a remote Russian vilage...
In the short term we may see more western madness...maybe as a form of panic...Western companies may already be switching to "new reality"...a lot of the public is getting fed up with "war promoting political idiots"....looking for alternatives for "main stream politics/uniparties..."
There is a risk a crazy western "leader" may "go nuclear"....one of the problems then may be to attack what ? Moscow ? Bejing? Tehran ?
NATO-proxy "israel" may need "a way out"...all out war (West Bank, Gaza, Lebanon-with attacks from Syria, Iraq) will mean the end of "israel"....So there may be diplomacy somewhere...maybe even outside the "netanyahu-gang"...I do not know if a military coup may be realistic in both "ukraine" and "israel" -backed by NATO-to limit risks of a major war that may "end the west"...
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. ~Albert Einstein
DJ, The west is wasting crazy amounts of money on weapons-and profits on those weapons...in endless wars. Non-western countries have a much stronger government role...both in public health and "strategic industry"...including the war industry but also fossil energy...
For Russia the war in Ukraine is a burden-most in human losses...Since weapon production is state controlled and Russia has control over all of the "chain" from raw materials to end product for Russia the economic burder is less than it is for NATO...
The major headline news wars are in Ukraine and Palestine. Without NATO those wars would simply NOT be there...since both the "ukraine" and "israel" NATO-proxies would not be able to fight these wars without NATO weapons...
More western weapons for "ukraine" and "israel" proxies also mean both more profits for war-industry shareholdors/political donors...(buying politicians...) and more debts...the tax payer/next generations end up paying for that...DJ-my view-Even if NATO went "all in" sending European/American armies to help their proxies "the west" very likely would NOT win...I did read 1/3 of NATO air defense is "gone" in "ukraine"....NATO ran out of a lot of tanks, artillery and hardly has enough trained soldiers able to use high tech expensive western (often US) weapons...
Very likely that may be one of the reasons why NATO may be "limiting" itself in these wars...Another reason is NATO is very divided...support for more war -at the cost of public health, education, housing- is "very limited"....
DJ-Maybe one of the reasons Putin is running again in march elections in Russia is the ongoing war...Putin is born in october 1952...so over 70..."old men" may not always be good leaders...
Israel’s Chief of Staff, Herzi Halevy, has stated that “Hamas is rebuilding its previously dismantled capabilities and that the lack of clear goals set by the political leadership is a serious problem for Israel’s security.” Defence Minister Gallant echoed these sentiments, claiming that “Israel’s failure to secure a definitive victory poses an existential threat, with the nation’s future hinging on the outcome of the war.” These statements, coming from Israel’s top military leaders, signal a deep concern about the Israeli army’s inability to achieve ambitious and what is confirmed as unrealistic goals.
DJ, "israel" official military losses in the "Gaza-action" is just under 200 soldiers...some estimates put the real losses at 10x that number..."israel" can not be open on those numbers because it would further undermine support for this "military action" and netanyahu...
Hamas would have over 30,000 fighters in Gaza-with also other groups fighting "israel"...Palestinian fighter losses may be around 10,000...however also tens-of-thousends civilians got killed.
In 1948, the United NationsGenocide Convention defined genocide as any of five "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group". These five acts were: killing members of the group, causing them serious bodily or mental harm, imposing living conditions intended to destroy the group, preventing births, and forcibly transferring children out of the group. Victims are targeted because of their real or perceived membership of a group, not randomly.[1][2]
The Political Instability Task Force estimated that 43 genocides occurred between 1956 and 2016, resulting in about 50 million deaths.[3] The UNHCR estimated that a further 50 million had been displaced by such episodes of violence up to 2008.[3] Genocide, especially large-scale genocide, is widely considered to signify the epitome of human evil.[4] As a label, it is contentious because it is moralizing,[5] and has been used as a type of moral category since the late 1990s.[6]
DJ, Maybe in part in reaction to both pandemic- and climate-"policies" showing to be a total disaster the "west" seems to be preparing for "more help" for Ukraine.
The picture I get is Ukraine itself running out of soldiers willing to die...so "the west" (western NATO countries + Sweden) is gathering 90,000 troops in Poland/Baltics.
Since these developments are VERY SERIOUS !!!! I take some time to discuss them here;
Pandemic links;
-Wars did cost over a trillion US$...money NOT used to keep healthcare on 2020 level...Very likely we are now LESS !!!! prepared for a worsening pandemic than we were in 2019...
-Ukraine may have seen half of its population "move out"-close to 20 million...Israel may have seen close to 10% of its population not returning/leaving Palestine-close to 1 million...Global number of refugees may be around 100 million +...
-BRICS-NATO conflict is now seeing also NATO (Canada started it) breaking science cooperation with China, Russia, Iran...BRICS/rest has biggest pharma capacity and basic materials for pharma...So-again-western sanctions damaging the west (10%) with the "rest" (90% of global population) in fact getting stronger...
-Western economies close to collapse...Health care and education...even infrastructure NOT a priority for a crazy political elite...
-The "west" did give so much "help" in loans to Ukraine; if Ukraine collapses the west will go bankrupt...
DJ-Yesterday I did write NATO is not strong enough (any longer) to be of meaning getting involved in an open war with Russia...
New Offensive On Kupiansk | The Largest NATO Military Exercises. Military Summary For 2024.01.19
DJ, Military Summary/MS is from Belarus (the man behind it is married to a woman from Ukraine) so "they speak the language(s)...Other sources point in the same direction.
The mistake that most analysts at the time made (these authors included), was to assume that since the troops mobilized by Russia did not suffice for a full scale occupation of Ukraine, no military operation, not even a limited one, was in the offing. It was only later that Western political leaders turned this mistake to their propaganda advantage by insisting that Russia had always intended to first take Kiev, then all of Ukraine, and ultimately even attack NATO.
But if basic military logic is taken into account, the fact that Putin committed only 120,000–190,000 men to his campaign and did not mobilize more resources until months later, after Kiev rejected the Istanbul peace deal, indicates that his objectives in Ukraine were limited and revolved around guaranteeing the security of the populations of Donbass and Crimea from Ukrainian assaults and Russia from NATO expansion. Given that Ukraine had cut off Crimea’s water and electricity years before, this required a land bridge to the region; hence, the illegal annexations of the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions.
We also have indirect confirmation that territory was not his objective from an unimpeachable source: NATO General Secretary Jens Stoltenberg, who stated that Putin invaded Ukraine to prevent NATO’s expansion. This would explain why, as soon as these goals were within reach when Ukrainian officials initialed the draft of the Istanbul Agreement in March 2022, Putin halted his assault and withdrew Russian forces from Kiev, rather than move further into Ukraine.
This background is important, because the argument for increasing Western military support for Ukraine relies so heavily on the claim that Russia always intended to expand further, attack NATO, and reestablish the Russian empire.
But, as noted scholar John Mearsheimer has pointed out, “there is no evidence in the public record that Putin was contemplating, much less intending to put an end to Ukraine as an independent state and make it part of greater Russia when he sent his troops into Ukraine on February 24th.” It was never one of Putin’s stated goals, nor was it ever taken seriously by the Ukrainian leadership.
DJ, MS reported a few days ago on French forces being hit in a Charkow-hotel.
When Russian Army forces hit a hotel in Kharkov, Ukraine with a missile strike weeks ago, a number of military people were killed in that hotel. What no one knew until today was that dozens of those troops were from the French Foreign Legion, and others were ACTIVE DUTY TROOPS from France, on "unpaid leave." The French Ambassador was summoned today to the Russian Foreign Ministry.
During that meeting, the Ambassador was asked why troops from the French Foreign Legion, and active duty troops from the French Army were in Ukraine to fight the Russian Army and why Russia should not simply declare that France is waging war upon Russia?
The Ambassador did not have a good answer.
DJ, So 60 French "volunteers" were killed, 20 wounded...and a lot of them were French active military...Polish "volunteer"losses may be over 1,000...US, UK did see over 100 getting killed, Georgia also did see high numbers of "military volunteers" getting killed...
In many ways the Ukraine wat already is a conflict between NATO weapons (Ukraine has lost 95% of its own-often Soviet era weapons) and Russian, Iran, North Korean ones...Western war-industry is making billions of profits in endless wars...The outcome of those wars in Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan is pretty clear; The population HATES the west !

DJ, netanyahu does not want a "Palestinian State"...he wants a "Jewish state" from the Jordan, Litani rivers to the Sea...a "greater israel"...including parts of Jordan (West Bank) Syria (Golan heights) and Lebanon (south of Litani river).
In fact the "west" is providing tools for that...It are US bombs dropped on Gaza, West Bank, Syria, Lebanon...
Another big question is; Warsaw pact ended in 1991...why is NATO still there ? Is NATO a legal organization ? Or is NATO a danger to the world and should NATO end ?
The Yom Kippur War, also known as the Ramadan War, the October War,[61] the 1973 Arab–Israeli War, or the Fourth Arab–Israeli War, was an armed conflict fought from 6 to 25 October 1973, between Israel and a coalition of Arab states led by Egypt and Syria. The majority of combat between the two sides took place in the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights—both of which had been occupied by Israel in 1967—with some fighting in African Egypt and northern Israel
DJ "israel" is now facing a war within its own borders...It is unable to get a real grip on Gaza-even with massive bombardments and destruction/war crimes and genocide...
In the West Bank Palestinian protests are answered by violence/murders from "settlers" under supervision of the occupation forces...Most citizens left the border area with Lebanon..."israeli/zionist" extremists attacking not only Arabs but also Armenian Christians, anti-war Jewish groups...
In many ways "israel" is very close to civil war/collapse...Video's of "israeli soldiers" playing with women underwear or childrens toys of Palestinians they just murdered may underline a total lack of discipline, a lack of plan...
Most Palestinians are denied food, water, healthcare...the extremist goal is to "get a Jewish Israel"...so if "non-Jews" do not leave they must die...
The "west" is helping with that...so Arab countries, Türkiye, Iran (Yemen is Arab) have to face NATO protection...(Türkiye still in NATO eventough they have been in conflict with other NATO forces in the recent past in Syria, Greece border area...).
Like with "ukraine" the only reason there is still a "israel" is NATO keeping the "zombie-state alive"....As part of its conflict with BRICS-extra...
NATO/US goal;
-to preserve the US$ as global reserve currency (if that ends the US is a third world country...)
-To avoid "ukraine" and "israel" collapse; if those countries end western "loans" mean nothing. Western financial bookkeeping is even a bigger fraud...
-Sell/promote "superior US weapons" (that did fail in the Middle East, do fail in "ukraine")
-Try to keep global energy under western control...(forget it !)
DJ-western goals are totally unrealistic ! The bad news however is-those goals are "existential" for the west...Both "israel" and US/UK/France may "go nuclear" to reach those goals...
(For "israel/netanyahu" the goal is a "greater Jewish israel").
A practical problem is "the west" 10% is in fact in war with "the rest" 90% of the world....So should the US use its (older) nuclear weapons against China...or Russia...or Iran...Venezuela ? Cuba ? South Africa ?
Yesterday, Russia tested electronic warfare in Kaliningrad, as a result of which almost half of Poland and the Suwalki corridor were left without GPS, writes the Polish media.
DJ, there are claims Russian EW from a Russian plane over the Black Sea did get the electronics of a US Navy ship "switched of"....
Besides that Russia has, China may get hypersonic (nuclear) weapons and "very good" air defense (still it did not stop some drones hitting Moscow buildings...it could be a NATO commando started those drones nearby those targets...).
ICC convicted Putin as a war criminal in 3 days for evacuating children from a warzone to safety. Netanyahu has killed +9000 children and after +100 days ICC still hasn't done anything. Western hypocrisy at its finest.
DJ, The "rest" of the world by now is disgusted by "western civilization" killing millions. keeping billions in poverty !
South Africa dragged Israel to the ICJ for committing a genocide. Indonesia will drag Israel to the ICJ for its illegal occupation of Palestine. Chile and Mexico want to drag Israel to the ICC for crimes against humanity. The world had enough of Israeli atrocities.
Are you a citizen chanting "from the river to the sea" - in which you mean equal rights for Jews and Palestinians? We'll wreck your career! Are you an Israeli leader saying "from the river to the sea" meaning occupation and apartheid? We'll give you arms to commit mass murder.
60 brave French warriors went out on a picnic and got poisoned by rotten caviar. And that ends the official Paris explanation for those 60 mercenaries incinerated in Kharkov. Merci!
Reporter: "Are the airstrikes in Yemen working? Biden: "Well, when you say working, are they stopping the Houthis? No. Are they gonna continue? Yes." It's perfect. This is the entire depth of the strategic thinking.
DJ, like with climate, pandemics in wars the west is sticking to a strategy that does NOT solve any problem but gets some very rich even more rich...
It HAS TO STOP !

The Al-Asad base is the same that suffered retaliatory strikes in January of 2020 after then-President Trump killed Iranian military officer Qasem Soleimani.
Al-Asad was the second largest base constructed during George Bush’s "Operation Iraqi Freedom," — wherein ‘freedom’ in Neocon-speak of course refers to 300,000 dead Iraqi civilians — an operation which ostensibly ended in December of 2011.
DJ, of course Iraq was only one of many western/NATO wars after the end of the Soviet Union/Warsaw pact in 1991...The (US) goal was and is "rule the world"...with 4% of the global population being US citizen...
ignore is the fact that the resistance forces in #Palestine, #Lebanon, #Iraq, #Iran and #Yemen will be ashamed the day they are removed from the terrorism list. As long as the US is unhappy with them, it is considered an honour for the resistance.
DJ, In the US richard nixon did send the tax office against anti-vietnam war activists...inside the US. NATO proxies "israel" and "ukraine" are in chaos with state terrorism looking for deserters, protestors, spies...killing people on the spot...It reminds me of the nazi-collapse in 1945..."looters" shot on site when they tried to get belongings from their destroyed homes..."deserters" hanging from lampposts...
We soon may see repression inside NATO itself...YES the AfD, pvv, have links with neo-nazi's...YES fascists again active in Spain, Italy, Greece...but also YES -again like with the nazi's- the war industry, fossil fuel industry funding extreme right wing parties...
Israeli occupation is directly interfering w/ college campuses in the US. They are sending “influencers” to campuses, accusing student orgs of being funded by Qatar, & engaging in public shaming through sites like canary mission. Read more: https://ynetnews.com/article/rk5ppryht
DJ...wars know no borders...The NATO goals are "western dominance" at ALL costs...
Of course for neo-nazi's there is NO pandemic neither a climate problem....
DJ-"ukraine" is collapsing. NATO is trying to build up 90,000 strong army (next to the Polish one...) - possibly planning to "take" western Ukraine...Wich may see Russian/Belarus forces moving in to stop NATO invasion in western Ukraine...
"israel" is preparing an invasion into southern Lebanon...Countries in the region may react by an all out war against "israel" and NATO (navy) forces in "the region...
So-wars are escalating...outlook is very bad ! NATO has NO !!! chance of winning !
Both Russia and Iran themselves are able to beat NATO...but BRICS may fall back on millions of extra fighters...
It may be hard to avoid nuclear (tactical-battlefield) war...Certainly "israel" has NO chance of surviving in an all out regional war...
BRICS so far managed to avoid war escalating..."make trade not war" ! However "make trade" will end the US$...unacceptable for US-led NATO....
"Diplomocy is dead"...some "western leaders" out of contact with any reality keep pushing for more wars...There is not enough opposition in the "west" ...lots of "left wing" parties now "pro-NATO"...(and anti Russia-Iran-China)..."learning the hard way"...
All out nuclear war is end of humans...."limited global war" is worsening ( a lot) pandemics/climate collapse...
"but who cares"????

The Court has nearly unanimous ORDERED the State of Israel to:
take all measures within its power to prevent the commission of all acts within the scope of Article II of this Convention, in particular
ensure with immediate effect that its military does not commit any acts described in point 1 above
take all measures within its power to prevent and punish the direct and public incitement to commit genocide in relation to members of the Palestinian group in the Gaza Strip
take immediate and effective measures to enable the provision of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance to address the adverse conditions of life faced by Palestinians in the Gaza Strip
take effective measures to prevent the destruction and ensure the preservation of evidence related to allegations of acts within the scope of Article II and Article III of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide against members of the Palestinian group in the Gaza Strip
submit a report to the Court on all measures taken to give effect to this Order within one month as from the date of this Order.
This is a huge win for South Africa, Gaza and all humanity.
All orders have 15 to 2 or 16 to 1 judges supporting/opposing them.
The only one completely diverting from the court's opinion was Judge Julia Sebutine from Uganda (one wonders what the various U.S. services have on her). Even the Judge ad hoc Barak from Israel agreed with part 3 and 4 of the court's order.
The arguments for the diverting opinions will be published later.
This order is the end of Israel's impunity. It is also the end of impunity of Israel's supporters. The U.S., UK, Germany and others can now be accused and punished for complicity of genocide (Article III of the Genocide Convention) should they not immediately refrain from providing Israel the means (weapons, ammunition, money) to further commit genocide.
Again - this is a small win for Gaza but a big one for humanity.
-
The ICJ decison today is the typical order on provisional measures related to genocide (violations of the Genocide Convention).
It means that Israel is committing genocide and that it should stop it.
The same Order was issued to Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) during the war in Bosnia. Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) was later judged responsible for failing to prevent genocide in Srebrenica and for not transferring Serb General Ratko Mladić to the ICTY, where he was eventually convicted for the genocide in Srebrenica.
Only in the case Ukraine vs Russia has the ICJ ever issued an Order (to Russia) stop a military operation. That is because of the peculiar nature of the case Ukraine brought against Russia under the Genocide Convention. Ukraine is not claiming Russia is committing genocide, but that it abused the Genocide Convention by claiming that Ukraine is committing genocide, and using that as an excuse for its SMO.
South Africa deserves its flowers . Defeating apartheid then on its own turf, standing up to genocidal apartheid, and now standing up to Israel and its genocidal apartheid in Gaza.
Francis Boyle on the ICJ Orders “This is a massive, overwhelming legal victory for the Republic of South Africa against Israel on behalf of the Palestinians. The UN General Assembly now can suspend Israel from participation in its activities as it did for South Africa and Yugoslavia. It can admit Palestine as a full member. And -- especially since the International Criminal Court has been a farce -- it can establish a tribunal to prosecute the highest level officials of the Israeli government, both civilian and military.”
CRUCIAL POINT, underlined by Juan Branco. France currently presides the UN Security Council. Article 94.2 of the UN Charter: By South Africa's request, the UN MUST force Israel to apply the ICJ ruling. Don't count on trashy Macronist France to do the right thing.
DJ, my view; both NATO and its proxies ignore international law-however blame others if they break international law...NATO and its proxies "israel", "ukraine" will keep breaking laws but western support for it may now be against the law in a lot of western countries...
The ICJ-ruling may go above national/EU law/rules...
Organizations already seek legal ways to limit fossil fuel climate damage...also with legal steps against "banksters" (like ing in NL). The ICJ ruling may -in fact- limit further supplies for "israel"...NATO will find ways to get weapons there but it will get harder...
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. ~Albert Einstein
No legal scholar expected the International Court of Justice to order a general ceasefire.
The court could not order a general ceasefire because its jurisdiction covers only one of the waring parties. An order for a general ceasefire would require that all parties of a conflict are nation states and have signed the Genocide Convention. Hamas however is not a state and is not a signatory of the Genocide Convention and thus not under the ICJ's jurisdiction.
85. The Court deems it necessary to emphasize that all parties to the conflict in the Gaza Strip are bound by international humanitarian law. It is gravely concerned about the fate of the hostages abducted during the attack in Israel on 7 October 2023 and held since then by Hamas and other armed groups, and calls for their immediate and unconditional release.
86. For these reasons,
THE COURT,
Indicates the following provisional measures:
(1) By fifteen votes to two,
The State of Israel shall, in accordance with its obligations under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, in relation to Palestinians in Gaza,take all measures within its power to prevent the commission of all acts within the scope of Article II of this Convention, in particular:
(a) killing members of the group;
(b) causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; ...
The court clearly orders Israel to take all(!) measure to prevent the killing or wounding of Palestinians.
In short: The court orders Israel to cease fire.
All of it. Now.
The mainstream media try to obfuscate that order with a reference to a general ceasefire which would have to include an order to all parties of the conflict.
That three of the leading media are using similar headlines and a similar obfuscation of the actual judgment points to a concerted propaganda campaign well prepared in advance of the today's order.
DJ, since it may describe the LEGAL position of NATO-proxy "israel" very good I copied it.
So what is the NATO next step ?
-Since "israel" is also paying a very high price in Gaza it may want a pause in Gaza...
-only to escalate wars in other areas
-The NATO-BRICS war for the US has the goal to stop/end BRICS...
, which provides life-saving aid to 2.2 million Palestinians in Gaza every day. Get the Irish 'famine' out of your mouth, Genocide Joe. You are less like your ancestors and more like the British colonialists who tried to starve them to death.
DJ The "west" is blind and unable to see the world has changed.
The only way this war will end is BRICS/rest of the world making it unable for the "west" to continue the war;
-breaking up the "west"
-de-funding the west
-energy supply running out
-de-industrializing
The west has no real strategy, did not expect Russia could deal with the sanctions...Yemen-Houthis now destroying western energy route via the Red Sea may fit in a BRICS-strategy...South Africa going to the ICJ on Gaza is also part of the BRICS-strategy...The west stealing assets is also against international law...
Now we are under a new volcano that even Trotsky could not have identified: a declining United States faced with the Russia-China “threat”. And once again the entire planet is affected by major moves in the geopolitical chessboard.
The Straussian neocons in charge of US foreign policy could never accept Russia-China leading the way towards a multipolar world. For now we have NATO’s perpetual expansionism as their strategy to debilitate Russia, and Taiwan as their strategy to debilitate China.
Yet in these past two years, the vicious proxy war in Ukraine only accelerated the transition towards a multipolar, Eurasia-driven world order.
-
Hudson’s intuition of ISIS and Israel as parallel armies is priceless: they both fight the Axis of Resistance, and never (italics mine) fight each other. The Straussian neocon plan, as tawdry as it gets, essentially is a variant of the “fight to the last Ukrainian”: to “fight to the last Israeli” on the way to the Holy Grail, which is to bomb, bomb, bomb Iran (copyright John McCain) and provoke regime change.
As much as the “plan” did not work in Iraq or Ukraine, it won’t work against the Axis of Resistance.
What Putin, Xi and Raisi have been explaining to the Global South, explicitly or in quite subtle ways, is that we are right in the crux of a civilizational war.
Michael Hudson has done a lot to bring down such an epic struggle to practical terms. Are we heading towards what I described as techno-feudalism – which is the AI format of rent-seeking turbo-neoliberalism? Or are we heading to something similar to the origins of industrial capitalism?
Michael Hudson characterizes an auspicious horizon as “raising living standards instead of imposing IMF financial austerity on the dollar block”: devising a system that Big Finance, Big Bank, Big Pharma and what Ray McGovern memorably coined as the MICIMATT (military-industrial-congressional-intelligence-media-academia-think tank complex) cannot control. Alea jacta est.
DJ, the problem is in the "west" trying to keep its 500 year old dominance at ALL cost...
It will worsen a.o. the global health crisis...however BRICS may be able to deal with it-healthcare/pharma are "strategic" under state control. The -everything-for-profit-west is destroying itself...
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. ~Albert Einstein
Russia's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Vasily Nebenzya said publicly : “It is important to understand that by supplying weapons to Texas, Russia does not become a party to the conflict.”
This was a priceless thing for Russia to say given it is the exact language used by the US and NATO when those entities supply weapons to Ukraine, to fight Russia. Recall too, the entire Ukraine thing started because Ukraine began to use its (federal) troops against two Oblasts (states) Luhansk and Donetsk. So the parallels between Ukraine/NATO-Russia and now Texas-Russia / US are . . . perfect.
I do not know how the crisis in the US-outcome of endless confrontationism by crazy biden-further will unfold. The present war in Ukraine should and could have been avoided if it would have been possible to discuss on why and how NATO had to include Ukraine (and Georgia). It was biden who did not want to talk...very likely blaming Putin for the trump-presidency without any basis...
The "west" pften creates opposition groups or uses small groups to "divide and rule"(the red kmehr in Cambodia only had 2,000 members in 1970...due to kissinger bombing Cambodia the red kmehr became a main political factor-at the end killing 1/3 of all Cambodians...from German "nazi's" to IS/alquaida without western support they would not become major players...)
In the US "conservatives" claim the US is invaded by "foreigners"...the anglo-saxons "have more rights"...I see a lot of similarity between Putin his party and some of the conservative republican ideas...family, christianity (in Russian orthodox christianity...).
I do NOT expect Russia to send weapons to Texas or any other US state...however some republicans may visit Russia and see the similarities..."What are we fighting" will be the big question...
-DJ-I am NOT a conservative, I do think government has to play a major role in society--(Rhineland-model-balance between private and public sector...In most of Europe normal till 1990)..I do NOT share family values; "get happy" finding out how is hard enough...
: The day after ICJ concluded that Israel is plausibly committing Genocide in Gaza, some states decided to defund UNRWA, collectively punishing millions of Palestinians at the most critical time, and most likely violating their obligations under the Genocide Convention.
After the UN accused Israel of genocide, here are a list of countries that cut off funding to the UN Palestine support program UNRWA. Shame shame shame. 2023 Reported Annual Commitments in USD: United States: $223 million (SUSPENDED) Germany: $127.3 million (SUSPENDED) Canada: $76.8 million (SUSPENDED) Australia: $20 million (SUSPENDED) Netherlands: $19 million (SUSPENDED)
. United Kingdom: $12.2 million (SUSPENDED)
Italy: $3.27 million (SUSPENDED) Finland: $5.45 million (SUSPENDED) Switzerland: $3.3 million(SUSPENDED)
DJ...most of them NATO members..."civilized white west"....based on onproven claims made up by "israel" on 12 UNRWA-workers...Most of these western "civilized countries"do send weapons to "israel"....
------------
DJ-There are lots of claims of new invasions/escalations;
-Military Summary/MS has a good story on Russia going for a security buffer inside the north of Ukraine. Ukraine/NATO has been targetting Russian civilians on markets...as part of their genocide on Russians...Russia has the means and a goal to create such a buffer.
It may go even further-end the war-if the infighting in the Ukraine-puppet elite worsens; zelenski fired zalushni (NATO backed) and replaced him with budanov (CIA backed)...very likely accepting Russia will win the war but to create chaos after that war..[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werwolf[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werwolf ;
was a Nazi plan which began development in 1944,[1] to create a resistance force which would operate behind enemy lines as the Allies advanced through Germany, in parallel with the Wehrmacht fighting in front of the lines. It is widely misconstrued as having been intended to be a guerrilla force to harass Allied forces after the defeat of Germany, a misconception created by Joseph Goebbels through propaganda disseminated in the waning weeks of the war through his "Radio Werwolf,” which was not actually connected in any way with the military unit.
-Lebanon..."israel" may try to fight Hezbollah-move up to the Litani-river or even go for the destruction of Beirut...Lots of "israeli's" left the north part of the "israel proxy state"...(700,000 to 1 million)
DJ-"israel/NATO is fighting a terrible war against Hamas-etc in Gaza. Losses on the "israeli-proxy" side run in the hundreds...Only with full NATO support "israel/NATO" can start an invasion in Lebanon. It will be seen by the non-western world as another NATO war against Arabs, another war for oil and gas...NATO trying to get Iran involved in the war so they have an excuse to bomb/invade Iran...
-Invading Yemen would be that stupid even NATO may decide it to be unwise...The Houthi know the terrain...a NATO force on the ground would mean very high losses with hardly any gains...Air strikes however will continu...even after the Palestine war would be over...
-Invading Iran would be several times worse than the NATO invasion of Iraq...An open attack on Iran would see lots of missiles/air strikes, a navy blockade... Regime change in surrounding (pro-BRICS) countries...Saudi Arabia may not be a full BRICS-member yet-but is planning to be that soon...Pakistan, Afghanistan, Türkiye may be on a BRICS waitinglist...
So any major NATO attack on Iran may need to "fight" via Lebanon-Syria-Iraq....
Iran is not only strategic for Russia and China...it is also a bridge between Russia and India, a part of Türkiye-Iran-Pakistan (TIP) trade route between China and Europe/Africa...
So an attack on Iran is an open attack on BRICS...and may see BRICS/the rest of the world-90% of the global population-in conflict with the 10% "white west" neo colonial powers...
-zelenski hinted Ukraine "has a right" on borderland that has been part of Russia since 1917-23 civil war...(Belgorod, Rostov-on-Don a.o.) So "NATO" could get more openly involved and decide to invade Russia...
One source in the Russian Ministry of Defense told me "The Americans can put all the nuclear bombs they want in Britain; none of them can get out of silos fast enough to be used if we launch our new SARMAT hypersonic missile. That missile and its fifteen warheads would hit Britain in two hundred and two (202) SECONDS after it's launched. Those American bombs wouldn't even get out of the silos or off the ground on planes in time. It would already be over for the British."
DJ, "israel" only is able to continue its genocide on Palestinians under full NATO protection..."israel" has a limited nuclear arsenal...using that without NATO/biden approval could mean NATO pulling back...
-----------------
What can stop this insanity ?
-The west has to see wiser leaders...the present ones can not afford to lose the wars they created...For that matter the US-crisis may be of interest. Without the US both "israel" and "ukraine" wars would end..."genocide-joe" is responsible for -by now- maybe up to 1 million deaths...
-Legal fight, the South Africa legal steps to end the NATO-genocide in Gaza is a BRICS-organized legal fight...Since NATO has been creating so many genocides since 1991 it is very likely NATO now may go for genocide in Yemen, Lebanon...push for civil war in Belarus, Iran, Russia, Venezuela...
-One option may be BRICS-extra gaining influence in "the west". Even macron/France showed interest in getting invited in the last BRICS meeting in South Africa. The EU may "develop trade" with some BRICS members on BRICS-terms (so outside the US$)...(Portugal has a lot of trade with Brazil, Spain has a lot of trade with the Spanish speaking world-lots of them waiting for a BRICS-status, Eastern Europe may have limited alternatives for trade with Russia or Iran. Türkiye may become a bridge for oil/gas from Iran to the EU)...The "west" is NOT united !
-Economic warfare...BRICS already is the major economic bloc (by GDP and even more GDP-PPP...lots of things in BRICS countries are cheaper...so money can buy more...Western "economists" use western way of measuring economies...)
On the negative side; both pandemics and climate collapse are getting that bad the world may be "30 seconds to midnight" (NOT 90 seconds as the doomsdayclock still put it...).
We do NOT !!!! have that much room left-may be out of room already-to "save the planet/humanity".....
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. ~Albert Einstein
The masks keep coming off. Israeli Communications Minister from the ruling Likud party admits tonight that his plan for “voluntary migration” of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip will actually be coerced migration or in other words ethnic cleansing.
Israel accuses 12 UNRWA employees of participating in Oct 7 attacks: cuts funds 12 Israeli ministers participate in a conference for ethnic cleansing as Israel is accused of genocide: continues funds In both cases the U.S. is engaging in collective punishment, a war crime.
DJ, NATO is supporting/enabling the genocide on Palestinians...the coming days will be relatively cold in the area-further resulting in worsening healthcrisis..."We" are mass murdering Palestinians...
For #Gaza, #Yemen Ansar Allah targeted the US Navy ship "Lewis B Puller" while it was sailing in the Gulf of #Aden. Lewis B Puller provides logistical support to the #US forces to launch their attacks on #Yemen.
For #Gaza, #Hezbollah bombed Branit base w/ a 250kg rocket & destroyed an electronic espionage transmitter/receiver in a maritime base close to Naqoura, south of #Lebanon.
Hezbollah is using new weapons, equipped with/ head cameras, but can change course at the last seconds.
So the Iraqi resistance claimed responsibility for the attack on the al-Tanf crossing that killed 3 #US officers and wounded 34. This is embarrassing for the US administration because the retaliation could take place in #Iraq and increase demands for US forces to leave the country.
The Iraqi resistance said that as long as the US continues to support the war on 3Gaza, more attacks will follow.
DJ, US propaganda claiming a (legal) US base in Jordan was hit. Lots of claims indicate the nearby Al-Tanf illegal US base in Syria was hit...NOT by Iran-backed militia but by Iraq militia as revenge for a US (backed) murder on their leaders...
----------
Where are we ?
-In Ukraine Russia may be close to "breaking" NATO/Ukraine forces
-In Gaza "israel/NATO" is NOT beating/ending Hamas/Palestinian resistance
-The ICJ is clear-"israel" AND ITS SUPPORTERS !!! are committing genocide
So NATO members stop funding UN-linked organizations they so far could buy....
Western propaganda now claiming/screaming; "the Russians are coming" ...
The US has been sending B-52's, strato-tankers etc. to the UK.
-Maybe 50%+ chance western/NATO forces move into (western) Ukraine soon...
-I would go for 80% chance of a US attack on Iran installations (oil, weapons)
Both actions will bring very major escalation.
-Russia very likely will attack NATO forces moving into Ukraine
-A major attack on Iran itself will see Iran and its allies attack US/NATO (including "israel") positions in the region....
DJ-Of course I hope to be VERY WRONG !!! Maybe by half of march the perspective will have changed...
There will be LOTS of warnings via "third countries" (India, Indonesia, Brazil) for the "west" to de-escalate...
Another factor will be mass-media now going full anti-Russia war propaganda may result-finally-in massive public unrest/revolts...
Farmers in France, Germany, Belgium protesting to an increase of costs -in fact to finance western agression to save the US$....
Another factor may become the millions of Ukrainians getting fed up with the insane war and demanding talks....
"Media" try to smear pro-peace groups as "pro-putin"...very likely voices of reason will NOT be silenced by criminal hysteria...
More US-Driven Escalations Toward War In The Middle East Well, it finally happened. The scores of attacks on US troops in the middle east in response to Israel’s US-backed atrocities in Gaza have resulted in American deaths, just as critics of US foreign policy have been saying would happen for months. At least now we can stop bracing for it, I guess.
-
As Aris Roussinos explains in a new article for Unherd, the US base by the Jordan-Syria border that was struck by Iraqi forces functions as a support base for America’s al-Tanf garrison, a sprawling “deconfliction zone” (read: illegal military occupation) in Syria which the US has for years been using to disrupt Iranian activities in the region and help Israel carry out its constant airstrikes in Syria. “Fighting terrorism” is just the pretense for the US military presence in the region; as always, the real reason is to facilitate the geostrategic domination of the US empire. Those three US military personnel didn’t die fighting terrorism. They didn’t even die advancing the interests of ordinary Americans.
The real reason they died was summed up nicely by Responsible Statecraft’s Trita Parsi: “They didn’t die defending US interests, they died defending Biden’s refusal to press Israel for a ceasefire. Their lives were put at risk by Biden to defend Israel’s ability to continue its carnage in Gaza.”
Parsi has spent months arguing that the only thing that can de-escalate the rapidly expanding hostilities in the middle east is a ceasefire in Gaza, since that’s what they all ultimately arise from. The massive increase in attacks on US troops, the Yemeni blockade in the Red Sea, the brinkmanship with Hezbollah in Lebanon and the skyrocketing tensions with Iran are all the direct result of Israel’s massacre in Gaza and the opposition thereto.
Instead of pushing for a ceasefire, the US is preparing to send Israel 50 fighter jets and 12 Apache helicopters in preparation for the next war while stepping toward the horrifying prospect of a hot war with Iran.
Meanwhile Nancy Pelosi is saying there needs to be an FBI investigation into people calling for a ceasefire, because they might be Russian secret agents.
-
To the managers of the US empire: Get out of the middle east. Just get the fuck out. Stop backing a genocide in Gaza, stop murdering people to shore up domination of world resources, and leave. Leave before you unleash something far worse than the nightmare you’ve already inflicted upon our species.
DJ, I expect this forum may also see censorship by "the state" ...war propaganda is the "only truth permitted"...
The criminal (biden & co) insanity that did bring these wars are also pushing for a biden & co dictatorship at "home"....

Biden has brought the U.S. closer to war with Russia. Biden has brought the U.S. closer to war in the Middle East. Biden has brought the U.S. closer to war with China. I have to hand it to him, Biden exceeded even my expectations of his warmongering in just a single term.
After a defeat in Ukraine and a genocide in Gaza, Biden is considering placing WWIII on his long list of foreign policy achievements to promote on the campaign trail. Proud to say I’ve never have and never will place a vote for this war criminal.
DJ, The ICJ-ruling means "israel" has to stop its mass-murder on Palestine. So "NATO goes for escalation"....
There is a talk about a potential partial deal discuss with CIA Director William Burns for a release of around 35 Israeli prisoners in exchange of a 45 day ceasfire and a release of 3500 Palestinain prisoners.
is afraid that the ceasefire will be permanent & the war will be over. Also, it means that there will be a new elections and accountability for all those responsible for not providing security for the Israeli settlers. This also means that #Hamas will not be defeated and #Gaza will not be occupied and other prisoners will remain in custody for further negotiation. So far, all possibilities are still on the table and escalation is still probable.
When the USGOV illegally confiscates $300 Billion in Russian assets and turns them over to Ukraine’s corrupt government in Kiev, Saudi Arabia, India, China and a host of other countries will “fire sale” US Treasuries detonating the explosives that will demolish America’s global financial system and tank the U.S. Economy. Congratulations Washington! You’ve destroyed in a few short years the prosperity and national power that it took Americans hundreds of years to build.
The current escalation in the Middle East is happening because the Zionist attempt to ethnically cleanse Gaza, the West Bank and south Lebanon. The U.S active support for this aim has led to more U.S. wars in Yemen, Iraq and now in Syria. While the U.S. has claimed that it did not want an all out war in the Middle East it has done its best to further one.
The dystopian decision by the U.S. and its European vassals to deny all support for UNRWA as response for the International Court of Justice decision against Israel's genocide of Palestinians was a further escalation. That a dozen or less of the 30,000 UNRWA worker were probably involved in the October 7 events was known for weeks. To roll this out just after the ICJ dictum happened is a clear act of revenge against the whole UN system.
This is the rule based order, where the U.S. makes and discards all rules at will, fighting against long established international and humanitarian law.
Francis Boyle states that with States (including US and UK govs) cutting off funding to UNRWA, it is "no longer the case of these States aiding and abetting Israeli Genocide against the Palestinians in violation of Genocide Convention article 3(e) criminalizing 'complicity' in genocide. These States are now also directly violating Genocide Convention article 2(c) by themselves: 'Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part...'"
ICJ is the highest independent court humanity has. The U.S. and its proxies decided to fight against the standing law of the world.
It is the rules based order against anyone not following it. This is the unilateral past fighting the rising multilateral future. A dangerous time.

DJ, There are suggestions Russia may forming an alliance to fight NATO-not only in Ukraine but also in the Middle East. Lukashenko-Belarus had talks with Putin on this.
Very likely a.o. North Korea, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Yemen may be part of that group...
Ep. 69 War with Iran? Yes. We’re already in it. Joe Kent did 11 combat tours in the U.S. Army. His wife Shannon was killed serving in Syria. Here’s his informed view of what that war will mean.
Many of the countries blocking UNRWA funding, a de-facto death sentence for many of the 2.3 million in Gaza, and helping Israel wipe out the Palestinian population of Gaza, are responsible for the historical genocidal campaigns to wipe out entire populations:
Britain: Multiple famines in India, including the Bengal famine which killed over 3 million people. As well as genocidal colonialism all around the world
rFance: Responsible for the attempted destruction of the local cultures and enslavement of peoples in Africa through colonialism, 1.5 million people killed in Algeria’s War of Independence, complicity in the Rwandan Genocide
USA: The almost complete wiping out of the Native American population through wars, starvation and the spreading of disease, countless wars of imperial slaughter all over the global south, as well as the backing of fascist regimes in Latin America

THE ENERGY CARD: Biden Halts New LNG Shipments To Europe and Asia Among Texas Border Crisis
DJ, There are more energy buyers than producers...For Qatar not sending LNG to Europe -due to the Red Sea crisis- is not a major problem...other countries will buy LNG...
The EU "dumped" Russia for energy to increase energy imports-LNG-from a.o. US and Qatar...so for the EU less LNG -in winter- will be a problem...
LP mentioned the reason behind no new LNG-contracts-till US elections..."climate"...However the REAL reason is all major LNG projects exporting to the EU are in Texas...and also Texas has problems with crazy joe...
Weekly recap: - Biden halts new LNG exports; directly impacts Texas - the Fed stops banks' arbitrage - national debt nears $34.2T - business uncertainty rises - EU bank to monitor social media for early signs of bank runs Full article on Substack: https://lenapetrova.substack.com/p/biden-halts-new-lng-exports-home
Rats Always Run Away First. Russian Breakthrough Intensifies. Military Summary 2024.1.29
DJ, MS reporting on the political crisis in Ukraine...zelenski seems to have replaced zalushny with budanov as the head of the Ukraine army...budanov (CIA backed) is doing the secret war/terrorism. So the plan may be Ukraine will have to accept a Russian victory but the war will continue in secret...
Iran is not part of the conflict - they only deliver some weapons - training and logistics. LIKE FUCKING NATO IN UKRAINE Or are they now part of the proxy war against Russia in Ukraine? You kid can't have it both ways.
DJ...if crazy joe wants to start also a war with Iran the US congress may have to have a vote on that...Lots of EU countries follow the US in stopping aid to Palestinians. By doing so they are part of the genocide process....
But also lots of countries (Ireland, Scotland, Spain, Greece) do continue giving aid...In most of the west the fact that their government now stopped aid for people in Gaza/West Bank must become hard to swallow for most voters....In the US 50% of people who would vote democrats do NOT agree with stopping aid...
Lots of Jewish organizations condemn the ongoing genocide in "israel"...from Orthodox Jews to holocaust survivors...Still in a.o. Germany naming this mass murder a genocide can result in legal steps for "antisemitism"....even with the ICJ judgement...
When "israel" claims "from the river to the sea" no problem...if Palestinians make such a statement it is criminal hate speech...
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. ~Albert Einstein
DJ-To understand the present global crisis I now look at Germany after D-day...june 6 1944. Germany was already losing the war against the Soviet Union, was kicked out of Africa...
At a certain moment nazi-leaders must have understood they had lost the war...So why did the war go on ?
-hitler may have left no room for any discussion...did not want to hear/know the war was going bad
-lots of nazi-elite believed they still could benefit and get away with it
-also there was the idea western allies may join germany against the Soviet Union
-in a military sense-germany did produce a lot of weapons in 1944...so it had the means to fight
--------------
Why does biden keep pushing for wars ?
-US$ NEEDS TO BE #1 global currency...it is debt based but also "NATO-repression-based"...countries that wanted to get rid of US$ for energy trade did see NATO regimechange, invasion, "civil war"....
-The "west" has had a dominant position for 500 years...so sticking to that idea
-DJ-I do NOT believe "the US won World War Two"...not in Europe/Africa neither even in Asia...The Soviet Union was a major factor in "winning the war" at very high cost. In Africa one may claim the British (etc) troops played a major role-but also division between the Axis-forces...[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abyssinia_Crisis#Aftermath[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abyssinia_Crisis#Aftermath ...China may have been "breaking" Japan...(with lots of Allied help) However "biden etc" may believe the US "did win wars"....
-TINA...There Is No Alternative...The US has to "be #1" or else "the world ends" ...that kind of ideas...(in fact GDP-PPP China is #1 in many ways...inequal wealth in many ways makes US, UK more similar to a third world country...It is NOT the money that matters it is what you do with it...even Iran is getting more people higher education in some subjects than the US !!!)
-Tunnel-vision mixed with "old ideas"...Russia is a gas-station, China good for noodles...lack of ANY realism/knowledge on what the world looks like outside the US...
-----------------
DJ-Comparing how Germany was forced to end the war may 1945 with present US/NATO leads me to the conclusion that the "west" is unable to compromise...
-In may 1945 the Germans still had parts of Denmark, parts of Germany and limited other areas under control...but it was divided in two main parts (northern part and the south part, that still may have had industrial capacity).
-However hitler was gone...a lot of the nazi elite was gone...so no "leadership/cult" pushing for destruction...
-Today NATO did send a lot of land-war-weapons and air defense to Ukraine..with also a lot now going to Palestine in support of the "israel-NATO-proxy"....A major problem is "western leaders simply ignore it".....they still think the west can start other major wars/escalate the war with Russia...
-An outcome of the "Ukraine war" is BRICS growing high speed...For most of the world it is clear "biden is mad"....(I remember a video clip of a foto oppertunity at a G20 meeting...at the end biden wanted to shake the hand of [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joko_Widodo[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joko_Widodo ...Widodo looked shocked...).
-Still "biden is not hitler" (altough but may be seen as puppets for an elite) western leaders motive is neo-colonial...they may use other words for it "trade relations" -but they need global exploitation....
So in many ways the present global conflict may be even more an economic (with that currency) one than World War Two (with western supported-till 1940-nazi's going for Russian energy and ending stalin...).
"Make trade not war" is the Chinese motto...in many ways one could see trade as "economic warfare"....
-Western sanctions did NOT break Russian energy trade...in fact it is now doing even better...
-Western sanctions did NOT stop China producing chips/high tech...they learned how to make their own product
-Western sanctions did NOT stop energy transports...insurance, tanker, pipelines now increasingly no longer western....
DJ-My view; most EU countries do NOT want an all out open war in West Asia/Iran...(it will even worsen the refugee/energy crises and economic downfall) ...
Also most people in the US/UK have -by now- had enough of war...As long as it is a "far away story" they may accept it...But building bomb-shelters in your garden (Germany) and men up to 60 preparing for war with Russia (UK) may underline the war may be getting very close...and for what ?
Propaganda "the Russians are coming" raise the question why start a war with Iran ? Also the Palestinian genocide -even ignored by western media- is unacceptable...
Still "bad leaders" may lead us into World War Three if the alternative is for those "leaders" to give up their positions...
In the US "crazy joe" may think of himself as Roosevelt leading the US to victory...While he is leading the world to destruction...
Insanity is not always easy ro recognize...

UPDATE 5:48 PM EST --
Washington has sent messages to the Islamic Republic of Iran through the US interests section at the Swiss Embassy in Tehran, asking Iran not to retaliate after the anticipated US attacks.
Iran warned the United States: "if there is even the slightest attack on Iranian soil, with or without human casualties, Iran will respond with force to the US militarily."

Israel has been the sole perpetrator of atrocities since 10/7, so they keep "discovering" new atrocities Hamas perpetrated on 10/7 to make it look less one-sided. Oh look they beheaded babies on 10/7! Oh look there were mass rapes on 10/7! Oh look UNRWA was involved in 10/7! Etc.
DJ, october 7 is used as (another) excuse "to fight terror"...Providing weapons by NATO to ukraine/israel proxy=no problem...Iran providing weapons to Syria, Lebanon, Yemen is "an act of terror".....
-The major-now very likely-war will be in oil/gas-rich western Asia however
-Venezuela regime change war (with Colombia/Guyana) may also be a risk
-The US/NATO may try to disrupt energy logistics to/from Russia
Do you realize what’s happening? Israel ignores the ICJ ruling and keeps bombing civilians. The US & allies continue to support the genocide in Gaza. It’s the end of International law. They are not even pretending to be the good guys anymore. Welcome to the rules-based 4th Reich.
DJ, the "west" created their own "rules based order"; part of it is US$ dominance...NOT using the US$ for (energy) trade is war....We did see that before in Iraq, Libya...we may now see it on a global scale...
-netanyahu wanted the "west" to fight Iran. He may now accept NATO to cover the flank (Lebanon, Syria) so "israel" can go for a major attack on Iran.
-Since Iran is a major hub for BRICS trade an attack on Iran will do a lot of damage for Russia, India, China....They will react.
-In 1973 OPEC went for an oil-boycot of the US, NL...we may see a repeat of "rest of the world" sanctions on the west
----------
DJ Early 1940 NL was one of the richest countries in the world...may 1945 10% of NL was under water...in many ways NL was ruined...
A major war could destroy-END !!! the west...In some scenarios it will become a nuclear war...
Saving the US$ by war is an act of insanity !!!! Diplomacy could have done that job....very likely lots of diplomacy may be ongoing to prevent such escalation. But if the west is not willing to listen it is just a waste of time....
Even though the Pentagon has admitted it has no evidence Iran was involved in the attack, Biden said he holds Tehran “responsible” because it arms the Shia militias the US believes launched the drone.
Iran has strongly denied it was involved in the attack or any of the approximately 160 attacks that have targeted US bases in Iraq and Syria in response to Biden’s support for the Israeli slaughter in Gaza. Regardless, the US is considering targeting the Iranian military, which could provoke a major war.
"the west never needed any kind of proof for war".....
DJ, biden stopping new LNG-contracts (in Texas) for energy trade with Europe may be used to blackmail Europe to join the US in this -crazy- war...
MOSCOW, January 31. /TASS/. As BRICS chair, Russia will pay much attention to countries who have decided to establish partnerships with the group, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.
Addressing a session of the first meeting of BRICS sherpas and sous-sherpas, Russia’s top diplomat said: "Accession of new members to BRICS strengthens strategic partnership and the global posture of our group." According to Lavrov, a large number of countries are seeking to become partners with BRICS or have made a relevant official announcement. "Of course, we will pay much attention to that during our presidency," he said.

JUST IN: ICJ Says Russia Violated Parts of U.N. Anti-Terrorism Treaty in Eastern Ukraine
On Wednesday, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) determined that Russia breached certain aspects of a U.N. anti-terrorism treaty by neglecting to probe financial backing for "separatist factions" in eastern Ukraine in 2014.
However, the court did not grant Ukraine's request for compensation.
The ICJ has instructed Russia to conduct an investigation into "plausible claims of terrorism financing."
The ICJ also chose not to make a specific ruling on Russia's alleged involvement in the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 over eastern Ukraine on July 17, 2014, as requested by Kiev.
DJ, The west sabotaged-together with its ukraine-proxy-and based on SBU (ukraine GeStaPo-secrte police) "info" any realistic investigation on the MH-17 shoot down...
A 36-year-old combat medic from Germany was killed on the battlefield in Ukraine. These people have learned nothing from the past. What part of her history made her believe that Nazis stand a chance against the Russian army, regardless of German or Ukrainian?
------------
MS claimed France was behind shooting down the Russian plane with POW's...in revenge for Russia killing dozens of French foreign legion soldiers "as volunteer" in Charkov...
NATO military "retired" or as an "extra activity" are all over Ukraine...using NATO weapons...
However "Iran providing weapons" for NATO is an excuse to push for war with Iran...
MS also claimed zelensky may have to rethink replacing zalushny with budanov...The only one still pro-war is zelensky...Delaying elections -because of the war- for zelensky ends march 31...and zelensky is that hated he may have to hide in a western-sponsor-country...

The Biden administration is planning to launch a days-long or even potentially weeks-long bombing campaign on Iranian assets across the Middle East, although there doesn't appear to be plans to hit Iran directly, according to US officials speaking to NBC and CBS.
The attacks which will reportedly focus on 'Iranian targets' inside Syrian and Iraq are meant as retaliation and a supposed deterrent in response to the weekend drone attack which killed three American soldiers at a Jordanian base near the Syrian border. The attacks might extend to the Iranian navy as well, in addition to targeting Iranian personnel or 'Iran-backed militias' in Syria and Iraq.
While the Pentagon has said that said the Jordan base attack had the "footprints" of Kataib Hezbollah (or the Shia 'resistance' group of Iraq), no culprit has been definitively named, and US officials have also admitted they have not evidence Iran was behind it. But they are now reportedly saying the drone used in the attack was manufactured in Iran.
It is most likely that these Sea Drones are not really Ukranian.
The western powers are spending a great deal of money developing technology to sink ships. They are using Ukraine to test their latest models on Russian ships. These drones are very sophisticated and that’s why they succeed.
But the shoe may soon be on the other foot when the Russians give their latest technology to Iran, the Houthis or the Palestinians and they start sinking American ships.
The era of surface ships was over long ago. The era of drones is here. Now we know that the Russians excel at electronics and satellites. Are they able pinpoint the location of all ships including submarines and sink all of them with hypersonic missiles, smart torpedoes and drones before any of them have time to act?
We shall see. (Assuming we’re still around)
So...NATO is testing all kinds of new western weapons in its proxy war in "ukraine"...with very likely instructors/advisors from the west in "ukraine"...maybe an "Ukraine person" pushing a button/pulling a trigger to "make it look" like it is "Ukrainian"....
We may be a few steps from open NATO-BRICS war...the "west" going for a "war economy" simply has no time to prepare for these kinds of major wars...
More bombs on Gaza than in Dresden WWII, more than the bombing of Hanoi in Vietnam war, more journalists killed than any conflict in recorded history, more dead civilians than 20 years in Afghanistan, more dead children than every global conflict since 2019. Genocide.
Political western elite keep defending these crimes...
President Biden is reportedly preparing to begin a new weeks-long bombing campaign in the middle east in retaliation for a drone attack which killed three US troops this past weekend.
These strikes are expected to include Iranian targets, tempting the nightmare scenario of a full-blown war with Iran, despite the public acknowledgement that there’s no evidence Iran was behind the drone strike.
Antiwar’s Dave DeCamp explains: “US officials told NBC News that the US is planning to launch a weeks-long bombing campaign in the Middle East in retaliation for the drone attack in northeast Jordan that killed three American soldiers.“The officials said that the targets are expected to include Iranian targets outside of Iran, and the campaign will involve strikes and cyber operations. Other reports have said the US is considering targeting Iranians in Iraq and Syria or the Iranian navy.“While the potential targets are not inside Iran, direct attacks on the Iranian military could provoke a full-blown war between the US and Iran. The US is considering taking this course of action even though the Pentagon admitted it has no evidence Iran was directly involved in the drone attack in Jordan.”
Iran threatened to “decisively respond” to any US attack, either upon the Islamic Republic itself or upon the nation’s “interests and nationals under any pretexts.” So this looks to be yet another dramatic escalation in the middle east by the warmongering policies of the sitting US president, who has also been waging a new bombing campaign in Yemen and backing a genocide in Gaza of unbelievable savagery where starving Palestinians are now eating grass and drinking polluted water in a desperate attempt to survive.
According to a memo obtained by The Intercept, US troops have been put on standby for possible involvement in Israel’s assault on Gaza as well.
In the midst of all that murderousness the Twitter account from this bloodthirsty ghoul of a president is posting cutesey tweets at Elmo from Sesame Street about the importance of emotional wellbeing, which is about the most dystopian thing you can possibly imagine.

-growth of BRICS-38 countries asked to join it....
-Russia would like to see Belarus, Kazachstan join BRICS+
DJ-Belarus may be part of Eur-Asian integration...
Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania all would like to have a part of western Ukraine...The Eur-Asian-Economic-Union (EAEU) may be a welcome alternative for the EU...
DJ, Via Switzerland the US asked permission from Iran to -symbolic- attack Iran...so the US would "show strength"...US military (no doubt a lot of them Afro=American, Hispanic and poor) may be pulled back from Iraq and Syria (move into safer positions in the region...).
The Duran suggests US-elite may be divided on further escalation...Some (military) start realizing the US is NOT in any kind of position for any form of war...(other than a nuclear one...)...
DJ-Elections may end support for neo-con wars...both in Europe and America...
The US has now 1/4 of its fleet in the Middle East unsuccesfull protecting western shipping..with lots of companies now switching to Chinese transport companies NOT attacked by Houthi-fighters...
Military production for the west is a problem since most basics for it has to come from countries now in BRICS or on the waitinglist for it...

----------------
So what is next ?
-US bases/ships will see a lot more attacks
-Also more attacks on "israel" ("israel-proxy" also attacked bases in Syria and Iraq ? Jordan air force worked with US ? US base in Qatar used for these attacks ???)
It is a major escalation and may bring Iran/Russia fighting NATO in West Asia...
Bombing is neither a strategy nor a simple exercise in virtue signaling.
Bombing is an act of war.
Bombing does not contain conflict, nor does bombing deter an opponent from future action.
If anything, bombing escalates tension and leads to all-out war.
A Great Power’s descent into a hell of its own making is never swift.
As C.S. Lewis taught, the descent is gradual, plodding, even measured until, suddenly, a Great Power like the United States discovers it has grossly underestimated its opponent.
Bullying, bribing, bombing and sanctioning opponents has not worked well. Thanks to a string of strategic military failures in Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq, and Ukraine Washington is rapidly reaching hell in its relations with the rest of the world.

Biden Says The US “Does Not Seek Conflict In The Middle East” While Actively Dropping Bombs There The Biden administration has begun its latest bombing campaign in the middle east, reportedly dropping over 125 munitions on more than 85 Iranian and Shia militia targets in Iraq and Syria on Friday.
The mainstream press have been falling all over themselves to describe the strikes as “retaliatory” in nature, framing it as a provoked response to a drone attack which killed three US troops at a base on the border of Jordan and Syria. Which is a bit odd, given that this supposed “retaliation” is being directed at a nation which the US government itself admits is not known to have been involved in said drone attack at all.
-
Saying the US does not seek conflict in the middle east is like saying the Kardashians do not seek attention. It’s like saying Jeff Bezos doesn’t seek money. It’s like saying the Hamburglar doesn’t seek hamburgers. It’s kind of their thing. To make such a ridiculous claim while actively raining military explosives upon the middle east, in “retaliation” for an attack which the people you’re bombing didn’t even commit, is just extra icing on the cake of ridiculousness.
From Gaza to Iraq to Syria to Iran to Yemen, conflict in the middle east is the US empire’s bread and butter. The most murderous power structure on the planet continually paints itself as a poor little victim of any backlash against its abuses and as an innocent passive witness to the suffering it orchestrates, but nobody who’s involved in that many acts of violence has ever been interested in peace.
DJ, Again US attacking forces that DO fight IS...The US/NATO not only created IS but is also supplying it...without NATO there would not be IS....
"fighting for the US$" ...to keep rich people more rich, elite in power...war=profits...
These Americans didn’t join the army to be deployed to a distant desert base as human tripwires for war with Iran. The Pentagon used them as imperial fodder and sacrificed them to protect the strategic depth of an apartheid colony called Israel - not to defend their country.
-It are US poor (often Afro-American, Hispanic) getting killed...
The #US carried out what it said were airstrikes on #Iranian IRGC-linked (Iran denied having any position linked to its forces) targets in Al Bukamal, Deir ez-Zor districts, #Syria & #Iraq after a timely warning that allowed most positions to be evacuated.
USAF B-1B heavy bombers & F-15E fighters & A-10 Warthogs used 125 precision-guided weapons against 85 targets with no strategic result.
The US bombing did not intimidate the resistance in Syria, which retaliated against the US position in the north-east of the country in a challenging message.
Allies of #Gaza continue business as usual, hoping
will be dragged further into the Middle East quagmire and show how the strongest country in the world is fighting an unwinnable war against small non-state actors.
The US's belligerent behaviour will jeopardise the US deployment in Iraq even further. The Iraqi government condemns US airstrikes and describes it as a ‘breach of sovereignty', warns of 'disastrous consequences'
DJ, So far the latest US agression did cost hundreds of millions of US$....YOU PAY FOR IT !!!
The thing I hate most is people in the west seem to accept it...."war is a new normal"..."war with Russia? -Of course-why not !"

Ukraine announced preparations for Zelensky’s departure In Kiev, preparations are underway for the imminent departure of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky from his post.
This was stated by Kiev political scientist Andrey Zolotarev. He believes that such an outcome is a matter of several months.
At the end of January, more than a dozen deputies from the Servant of the People party also expressed a desire to resign. “Everyone understands perfectly well that after Zelensky leaves, a lot of questions will arise for the deputies.
At the same time, they can be made extreme in this situation. Naturally, they want to distance themselves,” the political scientist said in an interview with the Vyshka YouTube channel.
-DJ-In "ukraine-NATO-proxy" the zelensky dictatorship may be ending...Seymour Hersh did claim zalushny did try to find a way to end the insane criminal war...so zelensky wanted to "get rid of him"...(killing him could result in an uprising against zelensky...)

In a brutal act of state vengeance, alleged WikiLeaks whistleblower Joshua Schulte was sentenced to 40 years’ imprisonment on Thursday over Espionage Act and other “national security” offenses. The 35-year-old was convicted in 2022 of transmitting documents to WikiLeaks, exposing the Central Intelligence Agency’s hacking and global spying operations.
