World’s tallest building lit up in Russian flag colors

The inscription of "the United Arab Emirates supports Russia" in Arabic and English appeared on the facade of the Burj Khalifa

DJ, untill a few years ago IS did get (CIA)funding from/via Arab Gulf States...Saudi Arabia, UAE now part of BRICS+...Türkiye -till the 2016 failed US coup against Erdogan-was a main hub/supporter of IS as long as IS was killing/fighting Kurds...

The "west" was shocked when Chinese diplomacy made all kinds of deals between Saudi Arabia, UAE and Iran...It must be a further horror to see all three of them now in BRICS+...

DJ, countries like Indonesia, Mexico, Nigeria, Algeria -main energy producers- follow BRICS+ "ideas" with more and more (energy) trade outside the US$...China trade with "the west" is decreasing however China trade outside the west is "exploding"....[url]https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=cyrus+janssen[/url] or https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=cyrus+janssen had some good video's...part now "members only" ???

[url]https://www.usdebtclock.org/[/url] or https://www.usdebtclock.org/ US debts growing with a trillion per 100 days....

The "west" is losing control over energy, logistics, food, currencies...high speed. 

The "west" is facing total collapse...most of that because of their own mistakes...

Russian wishes for European security talks end of 2021 should be seen as part of a much larger "rebalancing" of global trade and security...

Western arrogance and stupidity closed the doors-sticking to a US-west dominated phantasy that was not realistic any longer in 2021...The "west" could have joined talks on a new global balance -very likely still in 2021...In 2024 they are excluded...

The BRICS+ meeting in october in Kazan-Russia will -very likely- invite new members...Much more important however is talks on a new global financial system. 

Western agression/sanctions against a.o. Russia, Iran, China, Venezuela, Syria etc. may also mean a new global security system may be discussed. 

Chinese "security" already protecting Chinese oil investments in Venezuela, Angola etc. -some of it attacked by western backed "rebels". 

-------

DJ Some US politicians are "proud" of never being outside the US...politics has become very time consuming-creating its own bubble/tunnelvision...

Western "politicians" live in their own "phantasy world"....They do not face high inflation/poverty...They will not do the fighting...

Somehow western elite has lost contact with planet Earth in many ways (wars, pandemics, climate collapse). 

Brutal reality will wake them up-and find they have NO IDEA of the mess they did create..NO WAY OUT !

The "west" already is fragmented...the cover very thin...under pressure it soon will break.

🚨WATCH: Israeli children sing, "We will annihilate everyone" in Gaza, against a background of destruction. Disturbing video was posted, then deleted by Israeli national broadcaster . We captured it and added English subtitles FULL STORY: https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/watch-israeli-children-sing-we-will-annihilate-everyone-gaza

DJ, Maybe "israel" could send the song-celebrating genocide-to the Eurovision Song Contest ? The west is okay with "genocide as self defense" by a proxy fake "state" as long as West Asia gets under western/NATO-nazi control...

[url]https://twitter.com/caitoz/status/1771707284303007754[/url] or https://twitter.com/caitoz/status/1771707284303007754 ;

The worst actions of your government happen not in secrecy, but right out in the open under the narrative cover of mass media propaganda. The western empire doesn't hide its worst deeds, it just manipulates the way people think about them. 

Tomorrow we could unearth rock-solid proof that the US government knowingly orchestrated 9/11, and that crime in and of itself still wouldn't be as bad as what the US government is facilitating in Gaza right now, in plain view of the entire world. 

And even if such a revelation did occur, the imperial media would probably either ignore it or spin it so that its impact is dulled into impotence. 


The empire's worst atrocities happen in the open because the empire's worst atrocities involve butchering and starving huge numbers of people, which is impossible to do in secret. 

They can assassinate a government official here and sign a malignant secret agreement there without needing to do it openly, but murder at mass scale isn't something you can conceal in the information age. 

The US-centralized globe-spanning power structure therefore relies heavily on its historically unprecedented ability to psychologically manipulate global populations when carrying out such atrocities. 

The empire has invested more heavily in soft power than any empire or government in human history, and the science of modern propaganda has been advancing under this investment at least as rapidly as military technology has been. 

That's why you can have the most damning information imaginable sitting right out in the open about the people who rule over us, and you won't see anywhere remotely close to the public outrage and backlash you ought to see. 

The US government can literally back a genocide without hiding any part of it, and the political-media class will simply manipulate public psychology into getting lost in a bunch of hogwash about self-defense and human shields and difficulties delivering food and medical supplies and everything bad that happens in Gaza can be blamed on Hamas.

DJ, somehow most westerners believe NATO is some kind of peace-group...People in countries we kept poor hate to die from Russian bombs-but do welcome getting killed by US bombs..

We live in the age of stupid !

The Russians Attacked The Airfield For F-16s | Missile Strikes On Crimea. Military Summary 2024.3.24

DJ [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_Grumman_RQ-4_Global_Hawk[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_Grumman_RQ-4_Global_Hawk US guided [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_Shadow[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_Shadow UK towards Sebastopol on Crimea-unclear target...

Also "ukraine" shelling Belgorod-DJ-If the goal of Ukraine is NOT to use terrorism to kill Russians because they are Russian they need other military actions...these attacks against civilians are terrorism...under NATO protection with NATO weapons...








Recall that U.S. government officials have openly stated their desire to see dead Russians in order to effect regime change in Moscow. Imagine how elated this criminal hag must have been by the news of a theater full of bullet-riddled corpses.

Former Pentagon official @EvelynNFarkas: "Many more body bags" needed to achieve regime change in Russia My article in @UncapturedNews https://uncaptured.substack.com/p/former-pentagon-official-many-more

DJ, again-by its actions the only conclusion for me=Neo-colonial Atlantic Terror Organization going for nazi-style mass murder on Russians and Arabs...

Russia struck a serious blow to Stryi last night in the Lvov region of Ukraine. Reports from Ukrainian sources say the area took a beating with over 20 arrivals, all Kh-101/555 missiles. Then 3 hours later 4 MIG-31s took off and launched Kinzhals at the potentially the same area. 
Four explosions were reported in Lvov and I hope over the next 24-48 weeks will see more evidence. 

The location of the strike being so near to Poland makes it very interesting, we don’t regularly see missile strikes on Lvov.

DJ, very likely NATO-Ukraine cooperation centers being hit...

🇺🇦 While the whole world sympathizes with the terrorist attack in Moscow, Nazis in Ukraine are doing the following: A Ukrainian restaurant added a "Crocus City" set to its menu. Ukrainian gamers created a CS map of the "Crocus City Hall" concert hall, where virtual hostages can be shot, set on fire, and blown up.

🇷🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦 Maria Zakharova on her Telegram Channel

 💬 "Official spokesperson of the US National Security Council, Adrienne Watson: Ukraine is not involved in the terrorist attack in Krasnogorsk; the banned ISIS is to blame for everything. 

If only they could figure out the assassination of their own President Kennedy so quickly. But no - over 60 years and they still can't determine who actually killed him. Maybe it was also ISIS? Or will they keep dragging it out for another 60 years, playing into any "constructive ambiguity"? 

Or let's take the terrorist attack on the "Nord Stream." According to the US (and The New York Times cited comments from officials), Ukrainians were involved. However, later, American authorities "went silent." So, they are still rummaging around there looking for either Kiev or ISIS divers. Not a single word urging Denmark and Sweden to cease their search for the guilty parties from Washington has been uttered, and Russia's proposal for a UN-led investigation was blocked by Anglo-Saxons at the Security Council. 

All of this suggests that the political elites of the US have become adept over the decades at skillfully diverting attention from high-profile crimes and various staging. 

Therefore, until the investigation into the terrorist attack at "Crocus City Hall" is completed, any statement from Washington justifying Kiev should be considered as evidence. 
After all, the financing of terrorist activities by the Kiev organized crime group by American liberal democrats and involvement in corruption schemes by the Biden family have been going on for many years."

DJ, my view nazi's and nato share the same evil war-industry roots. Both had the goal of taking over global energy...white men/western rule...








🇵🇸 PALESTINIAN WOMAN TESTIFIES IDF CARRIED OUT RAPE AND MURDER IN AL-SHIFA HOSPITAL "It's like what you see in action movies but way worse than what you see on television. They raped women, kidnapped women, executed women, and pulled dead bodies." Source: Al Jazeera

DJ, Rape, killing children, in "self defense" ? Even if "israel" is on Palestine Authority soil ? So it are the Palestinians who are in self defense against NATO-proxy criminals...

[url]https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202403/1309398.shtml[/url] or https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202403/1309398.shtml China;

To compound the problem, geopolitical factors have led some Western powers to characterize destructive terrorist activities as "human rights campaigns," while condemning counter-terrorism measures in other countries as human rights violations or oppression of minorities. This behavior promotes terrorism, seriously hampering the process of the rule of law in international counter-terrorism, and also undermines the effectiveness of international counter-terrorism. 

Don't forget the US has a history of using terrorist organizations to fight strategic enemies. 

It's important to remember that terrorism is our common enemy. If terrorism is the enemy of a supposed rival country today, it is likely to be our enemy tomorrow. Any country that ignores terrorism, the real enemy, will ultimately suffer.

The attacks on the Moscow Concert Hall serves as a wake-up call, reminding us that terrorism remains a global threat. Major powers need to be more united and coordinated on security issues, rather than divided. The first crucial step is to establish an effective anti-terrorism intelligence exchange mechanism. Following this, major powers must build more mutual trust on counter-terrorism issues and work together to fight terrorism around the world more effectively.

DJ, by now "the rest" of the world know "the west" is the main sponsor of terrorism..."War on terror" only providing an excuse for more war, more stealing energy, more slavery...

Nuclear war would mean the end of all of us...so "the rest" is trying to avoid such a disaster...however "the west" keeps pushing for it...Making up their own "rules based order" to ignore international law...

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Reich[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Reich ;

The Fourth Reich (GermanViertes Reich) is a hypothetical Nazi Reich that is the successor to Adolf Hitler's Third Reich (1933–1945). The term has also been used to refer to the possible resurgence of Nazi ideas,[1] as well as pejoratively of political opponents.[2][3]

Origin[edit]

The term "Third Reich" was coined by Arthur Moeller van den Bruck in his 1923 book Das Dritte Reich. He defined the Holy Roman Empire (800–1806) as the "First Reich", the German Empire (1871–1918) as the "Second Reich", while the "Third Reich" was a postulated ideal state including all German people, including Austria. In the modern context, the term refers to Nazi Germany. It was used by the Nazis to legitimize their regime as a successor state to the retroactively-renamed First and Second Reichs.[4]

The term "Fourth Reich" has been used in a variety of different ways. Neo-Nazis have used it to describe their envisioned revival of an ethnically pure state, mostly in reference to, but not limited to, Nazi Germany.[1] Others have used the term derogatorily, such as conspiracy theorists like Max Spiers, Peter Levenda, and Jim Marrs who have used it to refer to what they perceive as a covert continuation of Nazi ideals.[5]

DJ, The "third reich" would last (another) thousend years-the nazi's claimed. 

From that perspective the Holy Roman Empire (800-1806) would have been #2, 

The Roman Empire -west part ended 476/480, start with the first Roman emperor 27 B.C. may be seen as a first "reich"...Eastern Roman Empire ended with the fall of Constantinopel in 1453...

The idea was a "uni-polar dominance" at least over Europe...[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Roman_Empire[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Roman_Empire may look more like the modern EU than one country...However the "Roman Empire" -at its heights- was a "global factor". 

From the uni-polar dominance view; "The US did beat the Soviet Union"idea may have resulted in-from 1990/1991 a (US) idea of "we make the rules"...

Of course "making rules" means others will try to break those rules...The UK did NOT have a war since 1800 with only 8 countries...Under Napoleon France tried to "dominate" only to find its limits in Russia. 

The UK did fight Russia in lots of wars. [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia%E2%80%93United_Kingdom_relations#Eastern_Question,_Great_Game,_Russophobia[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia%E2%80%93United_Kingdom_relations#Eastern_Question,_Great_Game,_Russophobia ...The Russian and British Empire collided a.o. in Afghanistan, Xinjiang (Uyghurs) with the UK-from British India- trying to move north-Russia trying to move south (Indian Ocean) and east (western China). 

The UK also played a role in [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Japanese_War#Military_attach%C3%A9s_and_observers[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Japanese_War#Military_attach%C3%A9s_and_observers with -1904-1905- Japan "limiting Russia"...

The UK went for a "balance in Europe" -however to protect their empire also had to fight the French, Russians, Germans, Dutch etc...

----------------

So now we are in a "western uni-polar moment" becoming history...

🇷🇺🇵🇸 President Putin says that Russia will take "new steps" to support Palestine.

-

Military expert, ex-special service officer, retired Colonel Bakhtier Rakhmonov, says the recruitment of assailants for the terrorist attack in the Crocus City Hall concert hall near Moscow, took place through the Ukrainian Embassy in Tajikistan. A few weeks before the terrorist attack, information appeared on the website of the Ukrainian diplomatic mission on inviting foreigners to join the “International Legion,” he noted.

-








“Russians are sub-human” says the esteemed Colonel. All Russians?  So by that logic, should we apply the same distinction to the Colonel himself?

-








Indeed. If China had stayed poor like India, the US would have no problem with China. It is precisely because China lifted 800 million people out of poverty that the US hates us so much. Because White Supremacy is a hard sell when Chinese people prosper.

-







Square profile picture

Central Bankers Are Saying The Quiet Part Out Loud Now: "We print money and people believe it" "It's a great business to be in central banking" "We fund ourselves" They are literally admitting to it and laughing about it. 

-

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism#History[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism#History ....to justify treating others bad all kind of excuses were created...

Not sharing the same skin-color, religion could mean "you are an animal"....In part that was the basis for colonialism...The "civilized christian white" bringing civilization and the true religion to the "primitive rest of the world"....Very likely 10% of the globe telling the other 90% what to produce, slave labour, mass murder...

NATO now "fighting" for western domination over the "90% rest" of the world...The racism, religion stories no longer work...The education system in lots of "new economies" creating a better educated new layer...younger than the "old west"...

--------

Earlier I claimed "the west" did start fighting Vikings/Russians and Muslims around 800...so 1200 years ago...Even the conflict areaś are NOT new..."repressed Uyghurs", India-China border, Middle East-conflict area between the west and Ottoman/Turkish Empire...

Blocking  from delivering food is in fact denying starving people the ability to survive. This decision must be urgently reversed. The levels of hunger are acute. All efforts to deliver food should not only be permitted but there should be an immediate acceleration of food deliveries.

Using created famines as a weapon of mass destruction/genocide....

Is this the "best humans can create" ? Do we learn NOT A THING from history....????

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

Huge Gas Storage Destroyed | Crazy Assault On Chasiv Yar. Military Summary 2024.03.24

See also [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrtransgaz#Underground_gas_storages_network[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrtransgaz#Underground_gas_storages_network ;

The Gas Storage Operator of Ukraine manages 12 underground gas storage facilities with a total capacity of 30.95 billion m³: Bilche-Volitsko-Uherske PSG (17.05 billion m³, the largest gas storage facility in Ukraine and Europe), Uherske (1.9 billion m³), Dashavske (2.15 billion m³), Oparske (1.92 billion m³), Bogorodchanske (2.3 billion m³), Chervonopartizanske (1.5 billion m³), Solokhivske (1.3 billion m³), Olyshivske (0.31 billion m³, is the first underground storage opened on the territory of Ukraine. It was founded in 1964), Proletarske (1 billion m³), Kegychivske (0.7 billion m³), Krasnopopivske (0.42 billion m³), Vergunske (0.4 billion m³, located in the Luhansk region on the temporarily occupied territory and not involved in the company's activities).[4] It is the largest underground gas storage network in Europe and the third largest in the world.[5]

Most Ukraine’s UGS were built on depleted gas fields. 2 of them (Brynske and Olyshivske) were opened on aquifers.[5]

80% of the SSO's storage capacities are concentrated near the western border of Ukraine.[5]

DJ the Bilche-Volitsko-Uherske PSG (17.05 billion m³, the largest gas storage facility in Ukraine and Europe)  was hit by Russian missiles...It is also used to store gas for the EU. 

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmitry_Medvedev[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmitry_Medvedev ;

Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev[a][b] (born 14 September 1965) is a Russian politician who has served as deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia since 2020.[2] Medvedev was also president of Russia between 2008 and 2012 and prime minister of Russia between 2012 and 2020.[3]

DJ, Is Medvedev (58) next in line to replace Putin (71) ? 

Local TV shows women in my native Volhyn Region in Western Ukraine scuffle with military & police to stop forced mobilization of man. This is one of most nationalistic & anti-Russian regions in Ukraine. But self-proclaimed supporters of Ukraine want to fight to the last Ukrainian.

DJ, nationalists, neo-nazi's may be turning against zelenski...

List of things that have been discredited during the destruction of Gaza: • Israel • the "rules-based international order" • liberals • the label "antisemitism" • the mainstream media • Joe Biden • the "two-state solution" myth • Bernie Sanders • the label "terrorist" • the "human shields" lie • the ADL • AIPAC • the US war machine • the Democratic Party • the Republican Party • Zionism • all western governments • all of western civilization • everything westerners believe about their society

DJ...the "west" is sinking into a very deep crisis...A "main stream" being attacked both from the left and right...

While the calls for negotiations are getting louder in #USA , in #EU there is now discussion about sending #Bodentruppen . My speech in the Bundestag about the need to end the #Ukraine war before it escalates into a world war.

Civil servants estimated earlier that the government needs to make savings of €17 billion in the coming years to keep the budget deficit within the EU 3% norm.

DJ...wars are expensive...

[url]https://www.dutchnews.nl/2024/03/rutte-heads-to-china-for-talks-on-trade-gaza-and-ukraine/[/url] or https://www.dutchnews.nl/2024/03/rutte-heads-to-china-for-talks-on-trade-gaza-and-ukraine/ ;

Prime minister Mark Rutte and foreign trade minister Geoffrey van Leeuwen are heading for China next week for meetings with president Xi Jinping and prime minister Li Qiang.

It is the first time since 2018 that Rutte will have met the Chinese leader for talks in China itself. China was closed to outsiders during the coronavirus pandemic but the two leaders did meet during the G20 summit on Bali last year.

Rutte and Xi will discuss economic ties between the two countries and the wars in Gaza and Ukraine, the state information service RVD said. Van Leeuwen will hold a separate meeting with his counterpart Wang Wentao.

The relationship between the two countries has been complicated recently by US pressure over the sale of ASML chip making machinery to China and allegations of spying.

In February the military security service MIVD said the Chinese authorities had managed to access a small defence ministry computer network last year and published a detailed technical report as a “warning to others”. The Chinese denied the allegations.

Trade between the two countries is worth tens of billions of euros a year.

DJ, rutte is still most likely to follow jens stoltenberg as secretary general of NATO...But rutte may also "welcome" another international position. 

The talks in China may (my view) also be to see what ideas there are on getting out of the wars...By now most western leaders have given up on Ukraine beating Russia...The Palestine genocide, Ukraine "IS" attack on Moscow (maybe without a major role of the west...budanov/Ukraine "secret service" behind it ?) may "go to far" for a lot of "leaders".

(European) elections are not won if the crises are not "controlled"...

DJ, A stop of weapons for "israel" may be part of a way out...Rutte may "test the water" on China/BRICS+ ideas of solving the Palestine crisis. 

Both "ukraine" and "israel" have been destroyed in the NATO-BRICS+ wars...before starting more wars in Africa (Algeria-Morocco), Latin America (Venezuela-Guyana) it may be "usefull" to look for alternatives...

Another background-info; [url]https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/visualizing-asias-massive-population-patterns-density[/url] or https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/visualizing-asias-massive-population-patterns-density ;

Nearly 60% of the world’s 8 billion population lives in Asia: a vast continent sprawling over 44 million km², home to sprawling megacities, high-altitude deserts, the world’s biggest plateau, and impenetrable rainforests.

Visual Capitalist's Pallavi Rao visualizes Asia’s population patterns using data from WorldPop - a research group based out of the University of Southampton that tracks population growth and movement across the globe.

DJ, some tend to include Pacific region/Australia/New Zealand in Asia-statistics. [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Asia[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Asia ; The area of Asia is not the sum of the areas of each of its regions, which have been defined independently of the whole. For example, the borders of South Asia and West Asia depend on who is defining them and for what purpose. These varying definitions are not generally reflected in the map of Asia as a whole; for example, Egypt is typically included in the Middle East, but not in Asia, even though the bulk of the Middle East is in Asia.

DJ, "EurAsia" and Africa are one landmass. In many ways the "America's" are "different".  [url]https://uwpress.wisc.edu/books/0289.htm[/url] or https://uwpress.wisc.edu/books/0289.htm ; William M. Denevan writes that, “The discovery of America was followed by possibly the greatest demographic disaster in the history of the world.” Research by some scholars provides population estimates of the pre-contact Americas to be as high as 112 million in 1492, while others estimate the population to have been as low as eight million. In any case, the native population declined to less than six million by 1650.

DJ, the widespread view [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_history_of_the_Indigenous_peoples_of_the_Americas[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_history_of_the_Indigenous_peoples_of_the_Americas and [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_history_of_the_Indigenous_peoples_of_the_Americas#Biological_warfare[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_history_of_the_Indigenous_peoples_of_the_Americas#Biological_warfare 

Europeans moving into the Americas -with European diseases-end up with 90-95% dying from those diseases (wars, exploitation=slavery not the major killers).

#BreakingNews: A serious hit to #Israel and its criminals. The UNSC passed the immediate ceasefire resolution in #Gaza with the US abstains - not blocked - while all other countries voted in favour! 

The resolution: An immediate ceasefire in Gaza for the month of Ramadan leading to a lasting sustainable ceasefire, and the immediate, unconditional release of all hostages. 

This resolution would have been blocked by the US had  not asked and agreed with the US to allow it so he can save his critical position in front of the right-wing ministers Ben Gvir and Smotrich. #PalestinianWomenToo

DJ, biden wants to get reelected...most democrats can not support zionist terrorism....so the US has to distance itself...

Jews united against Zionism. Since the mainstream media is under the influence of Zionism, they portray all Jews as Zionists. 

But there are thousands of anti-Israel and anti-Zionist Jews in the world. 

The largest of these is the Satmar Jewish community in America. You can support the Satmar Jewish community by following , its officially approved social media account. 

Statement regarding the Mission of  against Zionism: The organization called “Natruna,” also known as “Torah Jews,” was founded by a group of Satmar scholars more than 20 years ago. Under the guidance of the leading Rabbinical Authority in Satmar and in the Yeshivah world.

  have written books in English, Yiddish, and Biblical Hebrew that deal with how Zionism opposes Judaism and its consequences. Each has received approval from the Satmar community and prestigious Rabbis.

Again...most people that identify as "Jewish" do NOT live in "israel"....Most Jews are NOT zionists !

#MoscowAttack #Russia  I have followed #ISIS closely since its inception in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, drawing on my fieldwork and studies as a terrorism and counter-terrorism expert and academic and a war journalist. 

With this background, I question the claim that Islamic State is responsible for the Moscow attack. 

My scepticism is based on several anomalies and unusual aspects that undermine the authenticity of ISIS's claim: 

-1. The use of the term "Muqatileen" in the communique is atypical; previous communiques have preferred the terms "Mujahideen" or "Fursan" or "Istishadeyeen". 

-2. Amaq's statement that the attackers had "safely withdrawn" contradicts reports of their capture. Amaq usually waits to announce the results of attacks until all the results are in, but in this case they prematurely claimed success even though the terrorists had been arrested. 

-3. ISIS has never used voice changers in its communiqués. Notably, even when "Jihadi John" changed his voice due to his British nationality and recognition, voice changers were not used. The attackers in this case were not Western, and it is unprecedented for non-Western members to use voice changers, even when shouting "Allahu Akbar" or versus related to the Koran. 

-4. Live webcasting of attacks is not a method used by ISIS. While Go-Pro cameras have been used in the past, they have never been connected to a live internet feed to avoid the risk of interception, unless there is an advanced capability to scramble the signal after transmission. 

-5. Amaq consistently publishes the name of its media agency in both Arabic and English when attacks occur outside the Middle East, a detail missing from this claim. 

For the reasons outlined above, combined with my professional reluctance based on past experience of claimed attacks in Iran where subsequent communiques were corrected, I am inclined to discount the claim of ISIS involvement in the Moscow attack. 

Further disclosure of other discrepancies has been withheld to avoid providing insights that could be used to refine future claims.

DJ, the "west" within an hour claimed Ukraine was NOT involved-IS "did it".....reminds me of the MH19 haste "Russia did it"...the "west" hijacking the investigation with "Ukraine proof" as a major factor-excluding both Russia and Malaysia...

The "west" is over its ears into all kinds of terrorism...."mainstreammedia" simply follow orders...

"I am very glad to see this." - Kyrylo Budanov, chief of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine on the Crocus attack. Enough said.

...even when proven...the west keeps denying reality...BRICS+/Russian-many-allies are warned...Syria, Libya, Iraq, Serbia etc. know western lies....








Direct information from my sources on the ground in Kiev: Expect heavy losses for the SBU today.  It was some sort of "SBU day", like a celebration of some sorts, all the SBU hierarchy was in the offices today.

DJ, Russia blew up the SBU office in Kiev with a hypersonic missile...(SBU was behind the Moscow mass murder...Russia does not joke !). 








🇺🇦 - Western border of Ukraine, Tisa River. “Dodgers pay a thousand dollars to swim across the Tisza! And a border guard with an AK-74 does THIS" Ukrainian henchmen have long become bloody Gestapo men, catching their own citizens for slaughter.

DJ, Ukraine nazi's killing Ukrainians refusing to die for NATO....[url]https://twitter.com/Dal_Libano/status/1772306488771395918[/url] or https://twitter.com/Dal_Libano/status/1772306488771395918 for clip...

Deterrence By Savagery?

“The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.”

― Samuel P. Huntington, The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order (1996)

Western colonialism began in the fifteenth century and ended, with a few exceptions, in the mid of the 20th century. It was enabled by the development of technologies and fast population growth. The West then changed to a new model of ruling the world. It talked about human values and human rights and certain rules that would allegedly enable everyone to enjoy those.

DJ...savagery may be a main feature of NATO (proxy) wars...NATO defending a racist view, going for exploitation, slavery, stealing raw materials and energy...

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

What Did The U.S. Know Ahead of Moscow Terror Attack Claimed by ISIS-K? w/ Mark Sleboda

Nearly 140 people were murdered in a horrific terrorist attack on the Crocus City Hall in the Moscow region last week, with the Biden Admin immediately claiming Ukraine wasn't responsible, and that it must have been the elusive group ISIS-K... International Relations and Security Analyst Mark Sleboda noted that ISIS-K has a history of being accused of being a CIA front, as it fights the same groups Washington is fighting—but never the U.S. 

Therefore, some have suggested the Russian government views ISIS-K as a "fig leaf of plausible deniability" in this attack, and a cover for Kiev. In his latest comments, Russian President Putin said they know the attack was carried out by radical Islamists, but now they want to know who orchestrated it, saying, “We know who carried out the attack. We want to know who ordered it.”

Retreat From Bohdanivka | Two Patriots Were Destroyed In Kyiv. MilitarySummary 2024.3.25

DJ, Türkiye raided some buildings in the Istanbul area-arrested around 40 people. It may have been a joined Russian-Turkish anti-terrorism operation.

CARACAS, March 26. /TASS/. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has said that an assassination attempt against him was foiled at a rally in the country’s capital of Caracas on Monday.

The Venezuelan leader addressed a major rally in downtown Caracas after his name had been put on the ballot for the 2024 presidential election.

"Today, two armed men were ready to carry out an assassination attempt against me here," Maduro told the Venezolana de Television broadcaster. They were detained and confessed to being members of the already non-existent far-right Vente Venezuela party, the president added.

Earlier, the Caracas authorities reported the detention of three men who had brought explosive devices to the rally to attack Maduro.

DJ, "the west" resorting to terrorism because other options end up -also- in disaster ? 

Russia trying to find "the best possible" evidence of who was behind-and how- the terror attack in Moscow.  [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocus_City_Hall_attack[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocus_City_Hall_attack so far the numbers 139 killed, 182 wounded. 

Ukraine (?) did use drones to attack civilian buildings in Moscow, St.Petersburg a.o. With western weapons Ukraine shelled Russian cities to kill Russians. 

Western countries warned westerners about possible terror attacks inside Russia on march 7. 

It is a major question what info was shared when by who with Russian police/intel.....There are "degrees of guilt". 

If the US did get "vague" info from Ukraine "something big may happen this month in Russia" one could claim by warning Americans in Russia indirect the US did warn Russia...

However very likely the US (other western countries ?) knew more...

Knowing things is not (yet) acting....Recruiting terrorists may have been done by the Ukraine embassy in Tadjikistan. But who did store what in the Crocus City Hall ? 

The terrorists were on their way to Ukraine-not that far from the border. (Maybe even in contact with Ukraine border guards to open up a border gate so they could get into Ukraine ?) 

-Another question-as always in these kind of terrorism- why did it take that long (MS claimed 90 minutes ! Traffic was stuck in Moscow) before anti-terrorism units were at the scene ? 

Could/should Russia have done more if not to prevent the attack then at least limit the outcome ? 

Lots of people wonder how it was possible 4-6 terrorists get into a white Renault (French made car) with a black roof-attack for 20 minutes (???) and then get away that far with the same car ?....If the terrorists had a hiding place in/near Moscow they would very likely have been able to hide....

As MS noted-the preparations for the attack-and the attack itself went as "meant"; killing a lot of people...But the plan becomes crazy AFTER the attack....the terrorists staying together using the same car...only stopped around 500 kilometers from the crime scene...

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

Pro-Palestine activists have threatened to again disrupt concerts by Eindhoven singer Lenny Kuhr, following trouble at a performance in Waalwijk this weekend. 

Kuhr, who won the Eurovision Song Contest with De Troubadour in 1969was heckled by a small group of protestors who climbed onto the stage and shouted comments during the show in the Noord-Brabant town.

The group, including three women aged around 65, 55 and 25, and a young man, reportedly accused the 74-year-old of being a terrorist and murder. Her children and grandchildren live in Israel and one grandson is currently a member of the IDF.

Kuhr is due to perform in Stadskanaal on Tuesday and the local theatre says it has already had several “unpleasant” phone calls, the AD reported. The local council says it is aware of the situation.

Kuhr has, meanwhile, made a formal police complaint about threatening behaviour, slander and libel. Two of the activists have already been questioned by police, the AD reported on Monday.

Campaign group Palestine Action NL said on social media that Kuhr, who is Jewish, had been targeted because she had publicly said she backed the Israeli action in Gaza.

Caretaker justice minister Dilan Yeşilgöz condemned the protest as “anti-Jewish and anti-Semitic”. “This has nothing to do with being pro-Palestine”, she said. “It is anti-Jew. Let us name and treat this for what it is.”

DJ. I think these actions may be counter productive distraction...Again "media/politics/zionists" trying to frame anti genocide protests as anti-semitism....

-About 1/3 of the Dutch live in "Holland"....Holland only two provinces (north-south-) of NL...the "rest of the Dutch" live in the (Kingdom of) the Netherlands (including some islands in the Caribbean). 

Abouth 40% of the people identifying as "Jewish" live in Palestine...and even a lot of them do not agree with extreme zionism resulting in genocide...

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amalek#Amalekites_in_the_Hebrew_Bible[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amalek#Amalekites_in_the_Hebrew_Bible ;

Amalek (/ˈæməlɛk/;[1] HebrewעֲמָלֵקʿĂmālēqArabicعماليق ʿAmālīq) is described in the Hebrew Bible as the enemy nation of the Israelites. The name "Amalek" can refer to the descendants of Amalek, the grandson of Esau, or anyone who lived in their territories in Canaan.[2][3][4] Islamic tradition considers Amalek to be an Arabian tribe in pre-Islamic Mecca and Medina[5][6] or North African descendants of Ham, the son of Noah.[7]

Etymology[edit]

In some rabbinical interpretations, Amalek is etymologised as am lak, 'a people who lick (blood)',[8] but most scholars regard the origin to be unknown.[9]

DJ, extreme zionists are responsible for the ideology behind the mass murder on Palestinians...Another part is the "lack of control" in the "IDF"..."israel" army...

NATO countries that keep sending weapons, claim it is "israel" -a country they created- is in self defense...any criticism is "nazi like anti semitism" (even when Jewish groups are protesting also are part of the "criminal complex"....

-You have active murderers...zionists, Tadjiki-terrorists for rent-killing in Moscow...

-You have those who plan these acts; CIA, MI6, Ukraine "intel", mossad etc.

-You have those who order these acts; Maybe NOT the "political top"...

-You have those who are responsible-because CIA, MI6, etc are government organizations...

One problem is a lot of "intel" go for "self financing" -get involved in all kinds of crime with the excuse/claim they are fighting that crime...

Alister Crooke painted a picture of "Gaza" that reminded me of the US (and Australia, New Zealand, South Korea) in Vietnam; the more dead bodies the more enemy fighters are killed...

-Terrorists may be seen as a "way of life"; always hiding/on the run-financing often via crime...Hamas has public support in Gaza...a lot of its fighters -in self defense- may have (had) also another job...

One reason why "israel-proxy" can NOT win the war against Hamas is its fighters may pick up a gun...shoot-and stay calm for weeks...By now almost ALL Palestinians hate the "zionist terrorists" that much they are willing to shoot at them...

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_Israel#Table[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_Israel#Table "Operation Iron Sword" now would have seen 668 "israeli soldiers" killed...it may be 10% of any real number...One of the (many) reasons why "israel-NATO proxy" is NOT moving into Rafah, or into the south of Lebanon...is they already deal with very heavy losses...Further escalation may mean "israel" could end up defeated...

The problem "netanyahu" wants to stay in power because that is the way for him to stay out of prison for corruption...So one man his ego is destroying "israel"!

In many ways "zelenski" in Ukraine (another NATO proxy) is in the same "situation"...

Both "israel" and "ukraine" have become empty shells...their economy gone...Between 10% to 25%+ of the population now refugee...outside the country...NO perspectives if they do not change policies...

Again...biden can forget reelection if he does not find answers...Any idea of a "greater israel" in control over West Asia to stop BRICS+ is now phantasy...not realistic...

Growing protests in both countries-and the west- show support of the war-insanity (paid by debts) is dropping...The "west" has lost its wars....

STOP WARS NOW!

The US, UK and Ukraine may have been behind last Friday’s terrorist attack on a concert venue in a suburb of Moscow, which claimed lives of 139 people and left around 200 injured, according to the head of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB).

Aleksandr Bortnikov told reporters on Tuesday that the authorities are currently trying to establish the identity of everyone involved in the attack, both inside and outside Russia.

When asked whether the US, Britain and Ukraine could be behind the terrorist attack, the FSB chief responded: “We think that this is so. In any case, we are now talking about the information that we have. This is general information, but they [investigators] also have concrete results.”

Bortnikov’s statement to the media follows a meeting of the expanded board of the Prosecutor General’s Office of Russia. The FSB director told reporters that the intelligence service will do everything necessary to identify the direct organizers and sponsors of the terrorist attack.

DJ, there was a anti-terror raid in Istanbul-Türkiye...the terrorists may have had two months training there...Russia will "not be happy" with Türkiye being involved this way...so Türkiye may try to blame "others"...

🇹🇷🇷🇺 In the story of the terrorist attack in the Moscow Crocus, there is at least one country with which the suspected terrorists have quite obvious connections. This is Türkiye. Before the terrorist attack, two suspects lived in hotels in the central districts of Istanbul, as well as in an apartment on the outskirts, writes the Turkish portal Yetkinreport. 

We are talking about Faridun Shamsiddin, who published photos from Istanbul in February, and Murodali Rachabalizoda. 

Rachabalizoda arrived in Istanbul on January 5 and checked into the Fatih Hotel, but left on February 21. 

Shamsiddin arrived in Istanbul from Moscow on February 20, and checked into the same hotel the next day. 

And on March 2, they both flew to Moscow. Taking into account the rather long time spent in Istanbul and the date of departure to Moscow, we can assume a far from zero probability of the version that the suspects’ trip to Turkey could be connected with the preparation of a terrorist attack.

What communication did Russia pick up ? Was there any form of (phone/internet) contact between the terrorists and Ukraine ? 

Why these men sticked together ? Why not move to more open borders (Poland, Kazachstan ?)

🇷🇺🇺🇦🇵🇱 Today, Russian sources reported a massive Iskander strike on an underground Ukrainian command post near Chasov Yar. They claimed that among those killed or wounded were several NATO officers, including Polish Brigadier General Adam Marczak. A few hours later, Polish social media and news outlets reported Brigadier General Marczak's death, stating he "unexpectedly died of natural causes."

DJ, Russia is taking action...

🇷🇺🇺🇦 "The Chief of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, is a legitimate target for the Russian Armed Forces, as are all those who commit crimes against Russia." Director of the FSB of Russia Alexander Bortnikov

and

🇺🇦 BREAKING! Zelensky has dismissed Oleksiy Danilov from the position of Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine. In his place, the Head of the Foreign Intelligence Service, Litvinenko, has been appointed.

He may have talked to much...

🇷🇺 "The terrorist attack was being prepared by Islamist radicals, with assistance from Ukrainian special services," said FSB Director Bortnikov. - The terrorist threat in the Russian Federation persists. - It is necessary to recognize the SBU as a terrorist organization. - The mastermind of the attack in "Crocus" has not yet been identified. - The information provided by Washington regarding the preparation of the attack was of a general nature, and Russian special services responded to it. - It is known that Ukraine was training militants in the Middle East.

DJ...for Russia the terror attack was a bit like 9/11-2001 for the US...

The FSB investigation is establishing a trail: Crocus was planned by pros – and certainly not by a bunch of low-IQ Tajik dregs. Not by ISIS-K, but by GUR. A classic false flag, with the clueless Tajiks under the impression that they were working for ISIS-K.

DJ, All of the Pepe Escobar article very worth reading...FSB is Russian security, GUR=[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Directorate_of_Intelligence_(Ukraine)[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Directorate_of_Intelligence_(Ukraine) 

In short IS(IS) as a US/UK/NATO ally...with connections all over West Asia/Africa-with US-CIA air transport...links to MEK, Baluchistan "freedom fighters" etc...

[url]https://tass.com/politics/1766511[/url] or https://tass.com/politics/1766511 ;

"I think they’ve boxed themselves into a corner, because as soon as they started screaming that it was ISIS, all those people who work in international relations, who are political scientists and experts, recalled and reminded everyone else what ISIS really is," the diplomat said. "You are behind all those ISIS-type structures, you - the United States, Great Britain - yourselves brought them into being," she concluded.

DJ; Russia blaming the US and UK (NATO) for the Moscow terror attack...

(from Pepe Escobar/ZeroHedge)

This is as explosive as it gets. Intel sources in Moscow discreetly confirm this is one of the FSB’s prime lines of investigation.

December 4, 2023. Former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen Mark Milley, only 3 months after his retirement, tells CIA mouthpiece The Washington Post: “There should be no Russian who goes to sleep without wondering if they’re going to get their throat slit in the middle of the night (…) You gotta get back there and create a campaign behind the lines.”

January 4, 2024: In an interview with ABC News, “spy chief” Kyrylo Budanov lays down the road map: strikes “deeper and deeper” into Russia.

January 31: Victoria Nuland travels to Kiev and meets Budanov. Then, in a dodgy press conference at night in the middle of an empty street, she promises “nasty surprises” to Putin: code for asymmetric war.

February 22: Nuland shows up at a Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) event and doubles down on the “nasty surprises” and asymmetric war. That may be interpreted as the definitive signal for Budanov to start deploying dirty ops.

February 25: The New York Times publishes a story about CIA cells in Ukraine: nothing that Russian intel does not already know.

Then, a lull until March 5 – when crucial shadow play may have been in effect. Privileged scenario: Nuland was a key dirty ops plotter alongside the CIA and the Ukrainian GUR (Budanov). Rival Deep State factions got hold of it and maneuvered to “terminate” her one way or another – because Russian intel would have inevitably connected the dots.

Yet Nuland, in fact, is not “retired” yet; she’s still presented as Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs and showed up recently in Rome for a G7-related meeting, although her new job, in theory, seems to be at Columbia University (a Hillary Clinton maneuver).

Meanwhile, the assets for a major “nasty surprise” are already in place, in the dark, and totally off radar. The op cannot be called off.

March 5: Little Blinken formally announces Nuland’s “retirement”.

March 7: At least one Tajik among the four-member terror commando visits the Crocus venue and has his photo taken.

March 7-8 at night: U.S. and British embassies simultaneously announce a possible terror attack on Moscow, telling their nationals to avoid “concerts” and gatherings within the next two days.

March 9: Massively popular Russian patriotic singer Shaman performs at Crocus. That may have been the carefully chosen occasion targeted for the “nasty surprise” – as it falls only a few days before the presidential elections, from March 15 to 17. But security at Crocus was massive, so the op is postponed.

March 22: The Crocus City Hall terror attack.

ISIS-K: the ultimate can of worms

The Budanov connection is betrayed by the modus operandi – similar to previous Ukraine intel terror attacks against Daria Dugina and Vladimir Tatarsky: close reconnaissance for days, even weeks; the hit; and then a dash for the border.

DJ, If we can not beat Russia in Ukraine terrorism is another form of NATO-war....

Syria, Libya, Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan etc. did see that kind of war...So far the "west" limited support for Uyghurs in China, "Muslims" in Russia...however there have been major terror attacks in Russia 20-25 years ago with "western fingerprints" on it...

"Terrorist suspects arrived in Vienna through Ukraine": Austrians unexpectedly joined the Russian version that the terrorists had like-minded people in Ukraine - and even give their arguments. "There is no evidence yet, but it is possible that the Moscow criminals had connections with like-minded people who were on the territory of Ukraine.

 Intelligence agencies assume that a large number of suspects entered Europe through Ukraine. This is also consistent with the results of the police investigation into the terrorist suspects from Vienna, who were arrested on the morning of December 23, 2023 at the refugee shelter on Taliasstrasse. 

The 28-year-old Tajik and his wife, along with an accomplice arrested in Germany, allegedly planned an attack on Vienna's St. Stephen's Cathedral using explosives and Kalashnikov assault rifles. In fact, the couple came to the EU from Ukraine in February 2022. 

German intelligence services managed to intercept suspicious messages in their chat on social networks, which contained concrete evidence of plans for terrorist attacks on major European cities." https://t.me/vicktop55/23191

DJ, western governments funding "Ukraine war effort" resulting (again) in western tax money ending up in terrorism against (western) civilians...It is not new...however it is sick. "Media" failing to report on how alquaida/IS got western finance to fight the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, Assad in Syria are part of the problem...

Understanding the Unthinkable: Scott Ritter Discusses Crocus City Hall Terror

Scott Ritter joins us to explore the recent attack in Moscow, discussing the unfolding events, their aftermath, and the broader implications of this tragic incident.


DJ, minute 52...Russia picked up phone conversation between terrorists and Ukraine on how to cross the border...The terrorists did send video's to a "unusual IS channel"..

Also "ISIS-K" was behind [url]https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/iran-vows-revenge-after-biggest-attack-since-1979-revolution-2024-01-04/[/url] or https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/iran-vows-revenge-after-biggest-attack-since-1979-revolution-2024-01-04/ ;

DUBAI, Jan 4 (Reuters) - Islamic State claimed responsibility on Thursday for two explosions in Iran that killed nearly 100 people and wounded scores at a memorial for top commander Qassem Soleimani.
In a statement posted on its affiliate Telegram channels, the militant Sunni Muslim group said two IS members had detonated explosive belts in the crowd that had gathered at the cemetery in the southeastern Iranian city of Kerman on Wednesday.

DJ, Both Russia and Iran see "ISIS-K" as a front...the Mossad-MI6-CIA is behind it...there is no longer a real "IS"...only a western backed proxy...

The initial attack(s) in Russia were meant to disturb Russian elections...

DJ-fits in with the h.clinton crazy lie "Putin did steal my victory-made trump win"....Did j.biden, h.clinton, v.nuland and some others order this terror attack ? 

If Russia believe they did these US "political leaders"will pay...

I think Russia will try to get as much proof as they can and share it with "allies and friends" in BRICS+, [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_Security_Treaty_Organization[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_Security_Treaty_Organization ...also countries like Venezuela, Indonesia, Mexico etc. "may be interested"...

A next step could be to the U.N. -I [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Court_of_Justice[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Court_of_Justice ...

Russia may try to get the US, UK, NATO political elite to stand trial....

DJ-The Neo-colonial Atlantic Terrorist Organization did kill millions of Muslims, maybe over 100,000+ Russians...NATO is a criminal gang...

By now most of the world may move towards that idea....

The "Gaza-genocide" just one of many crimes under the NATO umbrella...

BRICS+ etc (SCO, OPEC+, CSTO) do not want a global war....because it will be the final war ending humans, the end of "Earth"....

Somehow NATO blind insanity keeps pushing for more war/self destruction...

-A longer term strategy is to "defund the west"...no more buying US debts, energy outside the US$ etc. 

-In Ukraine Ukraine losses may be 10% of its army per month...over 30,000 killed...if you include wounded, missing in action (so no pensions paid) POW, desertion it may be closer to 100,000 Ukraine losses per month...

-NATO is replacing those losses with "all they can buy"...mercenaries, western volunteers....

-Russia is now going for NATO command centers killing NATO staff in Ukraine...

-China may do all it can to support Russia -not in the open- because it helps China in its position over Taiwan...

-I do expect further escalation in West Asia; NATO proxies may get "deleted"....

-"israel" nuclear weapons already may be "monitored" by Russia.  (If natanyahu wants to go nuclear those nukes may go off on the moment of launch-so destroying "israel"). 

As DD Geopolitics presenter Sarah mentioned-mass shootings may be a "normal" for the US...It is totally unacceptable for the rest of the world...

Scott Ritter referred to the "Russian soul"...over a 1000 years of war and suffering...Russia will NOT accept biden to order a mass murder in Moscow !

The psychology of genocide;

As an Israeli in this dark disgusting inhuman time, there are many things I see and hear and can tell you about and are worthy of research and serious consideration, but there is one part of it that is so uncanny, so disheartening, so extraordinary, that I can hardly describe it, and you won't get it. 

Because it's so hard to believe, or conceptualize. 

I'm referring to the total and complete lack of public debate in Israel about any of this. Try to get this to your head: for Israelis, the genocide is not happening. The war is not real. Even the low-intensity conflict with Hizbullah up north is not real. 

How can I explain something that doesn't exist? But it doesn't. Can you believe it? 

No one argues about any of this, and no one weighs the pros and cons of any single part of it. It is not talked about. Israel has captives in Gaza, but no one knows why, or as part of what. It is not talked about. It is forbidden to talk about this, or about starvation, of the scale of death and destruction in Gaza. 

Moreover: it is forbidden to talk about Palestinians in general, so they are never mentioned, and haven't been mentioned in 20 years at least in Israeli media. So if you try to talk to Israelis about Palestinians, they will not know what you're referring to. They will think you only say it because you hate them. Could you believe it, that the most crucial element of a society's situation can be disappeared from its conversation, its consciousness and its politics. 

But for Israelis, Palestine and Palestinians don't exist, I'm telling you. If they ever do exist, it is in the moment before being shot to death by a soldier or police officer - and then they die, and vanish once more. 

There is no genocide, no Gaza, no Palestine, no occupation, no starvation, no dead children, no pregnant women in unimaginable distress. None of it exists. It is all, 100% of it, ancient antisemitism's new clothes.   

You cannot truly comprehend it. It is too much to believe, I know it. I live it and can't believe it. But it's true. Israel's management of consciousness has become so expert, its propaganda skills, so profound and total, internalized so fully, that Israelis have no idea - no idea at all - where, when, and how they exist. Absolutely zero idea.   

And it is this component of Israel that will stay with me, and I will marvel at, and continue to always think about, and grapple with. This is the truly incredible part of it. If you told me this, or if I read it in a book, I would not believe the extent to which thought control is possible. 

But now I do.

DJ...problem ? What problem ?

The leaders of 13 of the 15 political factions represented in the Tweede Kamer co-signed a statement expressing their outrage at the rise of anti-Semitism "in places where everyone should be able to gather freely and safely."

-

Kuhr considered the incident to be one of anti-Semitism. She was largely singled out for having family in Israel, including the two grandchildren in military service. Kuhr said that they were also very shocked, but were also "very proud" of how things were handled, partly because her husband also intervened.

About the war between Israel and Gaza, she said, "I think a country should defend itself." According to the singer, it is Hamas's turn. "Present those hostages. All of Israel is waiting for it.

DJ, most political parties -also "left wing" ignore the genocide here in NL...Do not want to be accused of anti-semitism...Even when Jewish groups call for protests "politicians run away"....








Daniel Kahneman, Israeli-American Nobel-Prize winning psychologist and economist, passed away today at the age of 90. Here are some words from him on peace, hope, and leadership. We need leaders who can lead us to peace, not leaders who lead us into perpetual war.

DJ, so far NO major attack both on Rafah and Southern Lebanon...there may be many reasons for it;

-Very likely high losses in the "israel" army

-With Hezbollah ready to go "full scale" if attacked

-Western support uncertain...

-"israel" economy in ruins...so who can pay the reservists ? 

DJ-Lots of similarities between NATO-proxies "UKraine" and "USrael"...both in a war they can not win...time working against them...Both "leaders" are a major problem because of corruption...natanyahu and zelenski trying to stay out of prison...

"The rest" of the world by now demilitarizing NATO, defunding their economy...The rest may do without the west much better than the west can do without the rest...

There were protests at the University of Amsterdam on Tuesday during a discussion with the highest military officer of NATO, Dutch lieutenant-Admiral Rob Bauer. “The demonstrators were asked to stop, but they would not listen. The meeting was then ended prematurely,” the university said.

The discussion was organized by a group of students and named Room for Discussion. A group spokesperson said: “Around five minutes after the start of the conversation, dozens of people started to chant slogans against NATO.” The protestors also had a banner with them.

The chants included “You’ve got blood on your hands!” and “Free, free, Palestine! Fuck, fuck, NATO!”

Bauer responded to the protest on X. “Today, a group of anti-NATO protesters disrupted a speaking event in Amsterdam. Incidentally, the right to protest is exactly the freedom NATO fights to protect.”

DJ, I missed this in Dutch news...it may have been ignored....Rob Bauer [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Bauer[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Bauer very likely realy believes "NATO is protecting freedom"....I think he is "a good man in a tunnel-vision"....

Here in NL there are now "claims" politicians NOT agreeing with the NL support for more war in Ukraine are "paid by the Kremlin/Moscow"...just like "the spin" "israel-proxy" PR did manage to get; any criticism on "so called israel" is "hatred against Jews/antisemitism"...Both "freedom parties"pvv and vvd may have zionist donors...

-In many other countries opposition is silenced -very agressively- this way...ending free speech and democracy...

BACK TO GOLD: Fed Says the US Should RETURN TO GOLD Standard to Lower INFLATION

DJ, it also would END using the US$ as a weapon...What LP does NOT mention is introduction of a gold standard for the US($) would mean radical devaluation of the present US$ based on debts...The only way to go back to a gold standard would need to see government taking over all of the economy...Buying"power" of the US$ may drop to 5% or even less...decreasing import/increase export may limit that collapse...

NOT going back to a "gold+ standard" however may be even worse-impossible on the longer term...

-------

Around 30 years ago there was another war in SE Europe; NATO breaking up Yugoslavia...splitting it up in many fragments...Kosovo-not even recognized as a country by many countries- now "invited in EU talks"....(it already is using the Euro/€)...Serbia made clear it will NEVER !!! join NATO...NATO agression was meant to avoid Yugoslavia (under Serbian pressure) would join Russia-Belarus cooperation...

Around 20 years ago the Iraq war just finished..."weapons of mass destruction" used as an excuse by NATO to steal Iraq oil..."defending the US$"...

So we now see the wars in NATO proxies "ukraine" and "israel" going very wrong for NATO....It may be the end of a phase that started around 1990 with the end of the Soviet Union.

Gorbachev was too preoccupied with domestic problems to pay much attention to these events.[342] He believed that democratic elections would not lead Eastern European countries into abandoning their commitment to socialism.[343] In 1989, he visited East Germany for the fortieth anniversary of its founding;[344] shortly after, in November, the East German government allowed its citizens to cross the Berlin Wall, a decision Gorbachev praised. Over the following years, much of the wall was demolished.[345]

 Neither Gorbachev nor Thatcher or Mitterrand wanted a swift reunification of Germany, aware that it would likely become the dominant European power. Gorbachev wanted a gradual process of German integration but Kohl began calling for rapid reunification.[346] With German reunification in 1990, many observers declared the Cold War over.[347]

We should know by now the risks of "getting into undeclared wars" ...do we NEVER learn;

[url]https://southfront.press/russian-precision-strikes-and-sudden-deaths-of-nato-officers/[/url] or https://southfront.press/russian-precision-strikes-and-sudden-deaths-of-nato-officers/ ;

On March 26, Russian military sources reported a successful missile strike on the Ukrainian military positions in the town of Chasov Yar located near Artyomovsk. According to the open sources, Russian Iskander ballistic missile destroyed an underground bunker, where Ukrainian command post was hidden.

Officers from NATO countries, in particular from the United States and Poland, were reportedly eliminated as a result of the strike at the command post. The foreigners were involved in coordination and command of the Ukrainian grouping in the strategically important direction.

NATO senior officers are largely involved in planning of Ukrainian defensive operations in the Donbas. Before the attack, there were reports that NATO ‘military advisers’ came to Chasov Yar amid the ongoing Russian advance in the Artyomovsk direction. On March 23, the Russian Ministry of Defense declared the full Russian control of the village of Krasnoe (Ivanovskoe) located near Chasov Yar.

Soon after the strike, Ukrainian ambulance aircraft were spotted heading to Poland.

On the same day, on March 26, Polish sources reported the sudden death of the Polish Brigadier General Adam Marczak. The Operational Command of the Armed Forces of Poland soon confirmed the reports.

“The unexpected death of Mr. General occurred due to natural causes, in his spare time,” the military department reported.

The Polish officials indicated, “the relatives and friends of the deceased were notified of the incident and assured of full support.” Thus, the high-ranked officer did not die at home.

The ‘sudden death’ of the Polish Brigadier General provoked suspicions that he could be eliminated as a result of the Russian precision strike in the Ukrainian town of Chasov Yar, where Mr. Marczak could ‘pass his spare time’. It is possible that he was killed in any previous Russian precision strikes in the Ukrainian rear areas.

Mr. Marczak was chief of staff of the Allied Operation Althea command, the EU-led military missions in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Polish contingent involved in it numbered only up to 50 soldiers who perform training and consulting tasks. Brigadier General Marczak also was the head of the Intelligence and Electronic Warfare Directorate in the General Command until July 2021. He served in the 6th Airborne Brigade, and then in the headquarters of the Special Forces directorate. He also held command positions in military missions in Afghanistan.

Together with the death of Mr. Marczak, the Polish military published several more obituaries of servicemen from the special forces and the NBC defence troops.

Besides Marczak, Poland recognized the deaths of five more servicemen in March: on March 26, the death of a 30-year-old special forces soldier as a result of an avalanche during mountain exercises on the Polish-Slovak border, two sappers of the 5th Tarnovskogorsky Chemical regiment reportedly died as a result of the detonation in the Silesian Voivodeship on March 25, and two soldiers were reportedly ran over on March 5 at a training ground in the Drava-Pomeranian voivodeship.

NATO countries refuse to officially recognize the presence of their forces on the territory of Ukraine, despite numerous evidences. In order to hide the truth, the NATO military, including in the United States, Canada, and Italy, published reports of “sudden and natural deaths” of their officers, who, as it turned out later, “visited Ukraine.” Of course, it is difficult to reliably confirm the causes of the deaths of NATO generals, but certain patterns arouse reasonable suspicion.

DJ, lots of western military "in their free time" have "accidents"...NATO is "to over its ears" involved in the war in Ukraine-fighting Russia...

And we can not even discuss this in many countries...

🇯🇴🇵🇸 Solidarity with the people of Jordan, demanding their USA-Puppet King open the border so they can March to Al Aqsa

DJ, pressure has to go somwhere...will we see another "Arab spring" ?

[url]https://twitter.com/vicktop55/status/1773237389835559272[/url] 

Jamal Wakim, a professor at the Lebanese University, said that the organizers of the terrorist attack wanted to drive a wedge between Russia and the Islamic world: 

✔️The organizers of the armed attack on Crocus City Hall in the Moscow region did not accidentally choose terrorists associated with the extremist group Islamic State. 

Those who recruited mercenaries from a terrorist organization based in the Middle East to strike at the heart of Russia pursued a far-reaching goal - to drive a wedge between Moscow and the Islamic world. 

The insidious plan was to sow sectarian strife in Russia, try to destabilize its internal situation and thus prevent further military successes of Russian troops on the Ukrainian front. 

It is legitimate to ask why, in the midst of the conflict in the Gaza Strip, ISIS needed to stage such a large-scale terrorist attack in Russia. 

Why have the terrorists not carried out, for example, any sabotage against Israel or American military bases in the region since October 2023, but continue to kill soldiers and civilians in eastern Syria? 

The collective West is haunted by the strengthening of Russia's economic ties with Arab and Islamic states, which are impressed by Moscow's policy aimed at establishing a just multipolar system. 

Britain, the United States and France are ready to use any means to prevent this partnership. 

Many leaders from Eastern countries were among the first to express their condolences to Putin. This demonstration of solidarity with the Russian leadership has shown that the hostile plans that are being hatched against Russia do not correspond to the interests of the Arab and Muslim peoples. https://t.me/vicktop55/23234

DJ another divide and rule terror attack by NATO....a two edged sword-not only against Russia but also against Islam-using a western "IS-K" creation as "a-symetric weapon of war"...

Scott Ritter: Analyzing the Moscow Concert Attack

DJ, Did Russia "listen in" communications between Washington D.C.-London-Berlin on the planned terror attack by the CIA "is-k" ?

It was meant to be deniable...so the US keeps "pumping" the is-k non sense...V.nuland may have had to step up because not all in the US top did see it as wise...

The terror attacks are part of a strategy to "break Russia"...sanctions and the wars (a.o. in Ukraine) were supposed to undermine support for Putin...it is not working....

On Russian TV shows some "politicians" claim "time to do to Ukraine what they did to us" however that is pressure relief...NOT a strategy...

The opening day of the new observation post near Golan Heights, Syria is getting closer...

DJ, Russian and Syrian flags on the Golan Heights...that may be part of the strategy...DJ-Did "israel" play a role in the terror attack-Russia positioned itself more clear on the side of Palestine...

🇷🇺🇰🇵 Russia blocks renewal of North Korea sanctions monitors Russia vetoed the annual renewal of a panel of experts monitoring enforcement of longstanding United Nations sanctions against North Korea over its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs. 

China abstained from the vote on Thursday, while the remaining 13 council members voted in favor. 

Russia’s U.N. ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia, told the council before the vote that Western nations are trying to “strangle” North Korea and sanctions have proven “irrelevant” and “detached from reality” in reining in its nuclear program. 

The resolution does not alter the sanctions, which remain in force.

DJ, However Russia is now openly trading with North Korea...lots of non-western countries may follow that road. The west keeps protecting "israel"...no sanctions for genocide...

Russia and China were in reunification talks for Korea...sabotaged by the US...

Kim is a very reasonable leader that should be worked with. Russia has been expanding ties and I commend them for this. So long as their national security isn’t under threat, which is why he acquires nuclear weapons, he’s very much open for talks.

DJ...North Korea in many ways -my view- is hell....

MOSCOW, March 25. /TASS/. There is abundant evidence that last Friday’s terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall was hardly a conspiracy conceived and carried out by the terrorist organization Islamic State (banned in Russia), Grigory Lukyanov, a researcher at the Center for Arab and Islamic Studies of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, has told TASS.

"The way I see it, this terrorist attack gives little grounds to speculate about some unmistakable trace left by the banned terrorist organization Islamic State. At the moment, there are not enough grounds or evidence to say that the terrible terrorist act committed in Krasnogorsk was an Islamic State-masterminded plot. The perpetrators’ mode of action indicates that they have nothing to do with the IS," Lukyanov said.

DJ, Russia wants to know why Ukraine was NOT involved...what proof does the US have ?

DJ, When nazi-germany invaded the Soviet Union very likely they hoped to see an uprising against stalin...Altough in nazi-view all Russian (slavs, scandinavian roots - mix) were subhuman...

Baltic states, Ukraine did welcome the invading german troops-almost as liberators from stalin terror...However...germans soon did show themselves to be even worse than stalin...

So the Soviet Union united against those that want to kill and enslave them...

Since 2022 the US/NATO "phantasy" is the Ukraine war, sanctions, terrorism inside Russia will bring an uprising against ("bad") Putin...

Ukraine naziś keep using MLRS (multi launch rocket systems) against Belgorod to kill Russian civilians...those MLRS ("Vampire" Czech made) are NOT used on the frontline were Ukraine forces need them badly...

The mass murder in Crocus City Hall  IS PART OF !!!! NATO strategy for regime change in Moscow...We are still at the crazy level of h.clinton/j.biden "Putin made trump president" so now we are ruining Russian elections and going for regime change...

-------------

All those in the "west" criticizing this NATO "strategy" are "paid by the Kremlin/Russia"....almost all political "parties/puppets" in western "democrazies" support this stand...

"israel" killing over 30,000 Palestinians in what even the ICJ is calling a genocide-"western politics worried about antisemitism"!

Jewish anti-war groups in some countries see bank accounts frozen because they would be "antisemitic"...Orthodox Jews with Palestinian flags beaten up by riot police...

anti-zionism is NOT anti-semitism ! But "israel" is managing to paint that picture...

Somehow "israel" is above any law-bombing Syria killing Syrian soldiers inside Syria is "no problem" for the west...The other way round would be "blind agression" not "self defense"....

--------------

Russia is moving a part of its Pacific fleet to Yemen; Russia, China did join Iran in working with Yemen Houthis...The US/UK did bomb Yemen several times NOT stopping the Houthis from controling the waterways around Yemen. Yemen does NOT allow transports via its Sea for "israel"...

Putin did meet leaders from Niger, Mali to see if Russian-African cooperation can be of good for both...

---------

NL-PM rutte did meet Xi in Bejing/China. At least that may be seen as welcome good news...

As likely new secretary general of NATO rutte had to ask if China could talk with Russia about Ukraine...but at least rutte and Xi did meet, did talk....

Lots of western "leaders" made it impossible to have any talks other then with other "western leaders"...Western diplomacy is as good as dead...

One outcome is "BRICS+ ideas"-trading in local currencies, going for local/regional interests is a new normal outside the west...

North Korea did restart as good as normal relations with Russia, no doubt soon other non-western countries ignore UN sanctions against North Korea-while the UN is doing nothing to stop a genocide in Palestine...The "west" ruined the UN...

--------

Once Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan were "western puppets"...is BRICS+ trying to find out what they can archieve in East Asia ? South Korea, Japan, Taiwan ? 

Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam would welcome more trade and less risks of war..."so kick out the US".....

Again long term strategy of BRICS+ may be to de-fund, de-energize the "west"....The more countries join the "BRICS+ system" the faster that proces may go...

Short term major interest is limiting wars as best as BRICS+ can..."bite your time"...The "west" is ruined by crazies...

The "west" is sinking into a swamp they created themselves; debts, not solving problems, not investing in infra structure, education....

The "west" now is moving towards collapse, bankruptcy...soon unable to fight any war...

The bad news is nuclear options...mixed with crazy leaders....

---------

Tech problems so no links...maybe later on...

Four of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council - including two major U.S. allies -, all of its non-permanent members and the UN Secretary General have explicitly said that UNSC Res 2728 is binding.

The U.S. (plus maybe a few of its minor proxies) is the only state which publicly disputes that.

Bertrand points out that this will have huge consequences:

There's no overstating how consequential this is for the integrity of international relations. By doing so, the US effectively destroys the world order it largely created after WW2 because it effectively tells everyone that the set of institutions, rules and norms that underpin it are meaningless. We're effectively now in a world system where everyone realizes the police, the government, the basic set of beliefs, have become completely corrupted. This changes everything.

What comes next? I think there's no coming back for the U.S. And I think they know this, maybe unconsciously, otherwise they would at least pretend to act for the better good of all. The fact they don't shows they've effectively abdicated ambitions to restore their hegemony: they're now nakedly in it to milk the system for themselves, universal pretentions have gone.

This UN Security Council is not the only institution which the U.S. tries to destroys after having largely created it.

In 2019 the World Trade Organization lost its appeal court:

The appellate body of the World Trade Organization (WTO), considered the supreme court for international trade, lost its ability to rule on new dispute cases at midnight Tuesday.

The panel, whose decisions affect billions of dollars in global trade, is supposed to have seven judges. But their ranks have dwindled because the United States — under the past three presidents — has blocked replacements to protest the way the WTO does business.

A minimum of three judges is needed to issue rulings and the terms of two of the last three judges ended at midnight Tuesday.

This will deal a major blow to the global trading system, critics say, arguing that the situation risked creating a system of trade relations based on power rather than binding international rules.

The U.S. is now using protectionism, subsidies and tariffs, which are clearly illegal under WTO rules it had previously agreed to. But as it has managed, without having any serious argument, to destroy the WTO's court their is no longer a direct way it can get penalized for it.

But trade is only one field of international relations and other WTO members have found ways to solve disputes even without its court.

The stakes are much higher when it comes to matters of peace and of wars waged with the intent of genocide.

Bertrand concludes:

Most countries however don't want to live in an "eat or get eaten"/"might makes right" world, without rules or norms. So in time a new system will arise.

The biggest unknowns being: can it arise without a major global war, who will lead the construction of its foundations and how can it be set up so that this time around it is fair for all and respected by all?

I'll leave it to you to ponder those questions.

Sayeed Ahmed, a consulting engineer and the CEO of Bayside Analytix, recently asked whether “no one cares” about what happened to Nord Stream, considering the lack of political discussions on the issue. Considering how much European powers are entangled in NATO structures, the consequences of any such investigation could undermine the very foundations of the current transatlantic partnership. It would not be politically convenient for European top officials to publicly acknowledge that their American ally might in fact be, all things considered, Europe’s sabotager, or terrorist.

DJ,  The US blowing up Nordstream, behind the mass murder in the Crocus City theater in Moscow...NOT stopping a genocide in Palestine...lying over MH17...

The US -with it NATO- now in the open-as criminal organizations...

DJ, We are moving towards a very serious climate collapse...SST=Sea Surface Temperature in many places summer-like, when (here in the north) spring just started...March will be "record warm" -just like previous months...this is NOT a "fun fact"....climate collapse very likely will kill billions within a decade...

H5N1 cow-to-cow spread in the US [url]https://agri.idaho.gov/main/hpai-detection-in-idaho-dairy-herd/[/url] or https://agri.idaho.gov/main/hpai-detection-in-idaho-dairy-herd/ ...it does NOT mean H5N1 is already a pandemic "factor" for humans...it simply is getting closer...may end up in humans as another sort of flu...maybe not even a deathly one...However it is a risk we have to keep an eye on....

The H1N1 "Spanish Flu" (1917-1923 I go for a wider range in time) may have been "not that bad of a virus" but the conditions; war, chaos, made it into a major killer killing between 2% and 5% of the global human population at that time...

The main reason CoViD-19/SARS-2 became a pandemic-maybe killing up to 40 million, resulting in "long CoViD" in hundreds of millions- is "saving the economy"...Wrong priorities-crazy "leaders"...insanity as a new normal...

Western political priority; my view, save the US$ and western exploitation of the globe-beat BRICS+...

"The real war has just begun" is the title on the video of MS [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1NiV2E_R3c[/url] or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1NiV2E_R3c 

The Bloom | Energy Collapse | Most Of The Power Plants Were Destroyed. Military Summary 2024.03.29

DJ-the text under the video....Russia keeps blowing up energy facilities in Ukraine-including gas-storage in use by EU countries...

DJ-MS keeps predicting a Russian offensive towards Charkov...with all respect-MS may be one of the best informed, speaking also Russian and Ukrainian, my DJ-non-expert view;

Why should Russia start (another) offensive when the "progress" they are making now is "de-militarizing" NATO/Ukraine already ? Russia introduced ground drones, further reducing Russian loss of lives in this war...Like most wars also this war could and should have been prevented....

Ukraine has NO chance of winning this war...still "the west"keeps pushing for more war...

So Ukraine soldiers go into trenches-get blown up by Russian drones/artillery...to be replaced with "fresh Ukraine soldiers" to be blown up again within 48 hours...

This is what the "west" now is promoting....

I do disagree with HT-he may be incorrect here [url]https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/en/news-page/world/video-ukraines-new-soldiers-so-young-they-dont-shave-yet[/url] or https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/en/news-page/world/video-ukraines-new-soldiers-so-young-they-dont-shave-yet DJ...however in "other wars" at the end children fighting in front lines...damaged for the rest of their lives if they survive it...(but maybe the HT video was from a school training "thing"...not -yet- children send into a "trench grave"...). 

The merciful : The #US provided #Israel with 25 F-35A jet fighters, $2.5 billion new engines for Israel jets as spear parts, 500 MK-82 500 lb, and 1800 MK8 nonguided GP 2,000-pound bomb that Israel has been using against #Gaza to destroy civilian targets.

DJ, NATO-proxy "israel" by now killed/starved over 33,000 Palestinians...Western action so far is call protests against this genocide "anti-semitism"....So western politicians can ignore the genocide and show themselves to be "against racism"...beyond sick....

[url]https://southfront.press/yemens-houthis-launch-more-drones-at-american-coalition-warships-in-red-sea/[/url] or https://southfront.press/yemens-houthis-launch-more-drones-at-american-coalition-warships-in-red-sea/ ;

Al-Houthi went on to note that the U.S. has failed to deter his group despite launching some 13 attacks against Yemen so far.

The repeated attacks on Yemen, “will only contribute, unintentionally, to the development of [Yemen’s] military capabilities,” the leader explained.

DJ [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) ;

Concurrently, a coalition led by Saudi Arabia launched military operations by using air strikes and restored the former Yemeni government.[29] Although there has been no direct intervention by the Iranian government in Yemen, the civil war is widely regarded as part of the Iran-Saudi proxy conflict.[b]

another "western made "civil" war"....UK had SpecialBoatService (Navy SAS) in this war...the "west" via Saudi Arabia/UAE tried to "break Yemen" (including troops-for-rent from Sudan, Pakistan, mercenaries from Latin America, IS) failed to beat the Houthi's....

DJ-Claims of Iran support for the Houthi's "forget" the sea blockade by Saudi Arabia/west...The Houthi's had to use small boats to get in supplies...In most guerilla wars geurilla-fighters take weapons/supplies from their enemies...(via killing them or corruption...). 

----------

So "a NATO-BRICS+ frontline" from Ukraine via Syria/Palestine to Yemen...

One of the strategic changes is Russia/China moving closer to not only Syria and Iran but also Yemen, North Korea, Niger...countries (also) in conflict with "the west"...

Some Russian missiles flying -very likely- over a small part of Poland, Moldova...

Russia blaming the US for the terror attack on the Crocus City Hall in Moscow..."IS-K for rent" murderers...

With the US now stationing special forces a few miles from China mainland-to "train Taiwan military" we are getting closer to a larger conflict every day...

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

Good Friday ceremony in Aleppo. 

DJ, video of a Syrian Christian Orthodox procession in Syria...

The Middle East-North Africa had room for many religions and cultures for centuries....Saddam Hussein in Iraq, Assad in Syria had/has Christians in their government...Western "intervention=war" destroying not only basic public healthcare, education but also a culture with room for diversity....








If Serbia becomes a partner nation of #BRiCS ((which it fully deserves) , Belgrade once again would become a major nation in the Western Balkans and in the wider international community (the role which membership in the #EU or #NATO does not provide).

DJ, NATO destroyed Yugoslavia because Serbs wanted to stay in touch with Russia/Belarus and (Russian/Serb) orthodox church....








The final moments of David ben Avraham (nee Sameh Zeytun), a Palestinian convert to Judaism before being shot and killed with his hands raised by a settler in uniform.

okay...[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_Now[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_NowPeace Now (Hebrewשלום עכשיו Shalom AchshavIPA: [ʃaˈlom (ʔ)aχˈʃav]) is a non-governmental organization,[7] liberal advocacy[8] and activist group[9] in Israel with the aim of promoting a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

has to be "anti-semitic"  in the view of most western "politics"...

Zionists very succesfull in mixing/promoting their view anti-zionism = anti-semitism....Even if Jewish people are protesting against zionist terrorism....

[url]https://twitter.com/anasalhajji/status/1773754505059852529[/url] or https://twitter.com/anasalhajji/status/1773754505059852529 

Guyana president not accepting "bbc liars" criticism of oil exploration. Guyana has a very low deforestation-net zero economy...no doubt the UK would love to steal Guyana oil....

--------------

Escalation....

Any escalation may have to serve some goal....

-Ukraine is destroying itself...NATO weapons being destroyed in quite high numbers in Ukraine....

DJ-Again-I doubt Russia may go for another frontline...maybe in what they see as a final stage-a last push-to collepse the NATO puppets in Kiev...Russian priority is to limit their own loss of lives...second priority is limiting Ukraine civilian losses...Russia does see Ukrainians as "related to Russia"...you do not kill your "own family"....

However "the west" since 2014 invested over a trillion US$/€ in "ukraine" because it has lithium-needed for batteries/e-cars...for gas, Black Sea access...Losing this western made war -NATO had to move east- would result in an economic crisis the west did not see since (at least) World War Two (or 1929 for the US...the US economy grew-became dominant because of World War Two !). 

So...going for a "no fly zone" over Ukraine by NATO air power a next step ? With Russia not only shooting down NATO planes but also -very likely- attacking the bases were those planes started from....even if those bases are in Poland, Czechia, Romania....(all in NATO) or in Moldova (not in NATO)...

DJ Western -joined- air power can "turn the cards"....but very likely be a very serious escalation-widening the war...

Can NATO "air and sea power" "beat Russia" ? NO ! Western air defense is very limited....Ukraine most of all is a land war...A lot of the frontlines are far away from Romania and Poland...Russia itself may have both a lot of air defense and production capacity...

Another very likely outcome could be other countries openly joining Russia in a "war with the west"....Belarus/Russia can beat the Baltics...even Finland in a NATO escalation...(Saint Petersburg city area has a larger population than all of Finland...Untill recent Finland imported electricity from the Saint Petersburg region in Russia). 

Palestine -under US/west protection- was colonized by "israel settlers". Jewish, Christian "groups" went to what they (also-just like Islam) did see as a "holy land"....

After the nazi-mass murder/holocaust Jewish people tried to find a safe place...Some of them hoped "israel" could be such a place....

The "west" wanted to have "influence" in oil rich Middle East...so the two mixed...westerners moving into "israel" with western oil/gas exploration in the Middle East...the "petro-dollar"  was one of the outcomes...

One can discuss if the end of the US$ link with energy is THE major factor in the "israel" crisis....

A "greater israel" dominating West Asia could "serve western goals"....stopping BRICS+ and keeping energy at least in part under western control....

DJ-The very likel y main reason why "the region" does not stop the mass murder on Palestinians may be it would result in war with NATO...netanyahu has been pushing for the US/NATO to attack Iran for decades...so-Arabs, Turks, Iranians do not want to give "netanyahu" the wat he wants the US to fight for "israel" against Iran...

BRICS+ wants to "make trade not war"...however there will be limits....

After the CIA/US "IS-K" mass murder in Moscow Russian soldiers joined Syrian soldiers on the Golan Heights...the western part occupied by "israel/NATO" since 1967...

Assad want to restore Damascus control over ALL of Syria...including the Golan Heights....both Iran and Russia share that idea...."israel" did send help to "ukraine"...both zelenski and natanyahu "need to stay in power to stay out of prison" (a.o. for corruption). 

Russian radar in Syria covers also all of Lebanon and "israel"....Electronic Warfare could stop "israel" ...netanyahu and Putin-not that long ago-had "good relations"....Russian is a major language in "israel"....(20% of the "israeli"speak Russian...). 

Russia may not bring in its own soldiers in a war with "israel"...it can "work with" millions of well trained Iranian, Iraqi, Syrian, Lebanese/Hezbollah, Egyptian soldiers...

Both Russia and Hezbollah have missiles enough "to blow up" "israel"....

My view; BRICS+ still is hoping to -via economic warfare- getting energy, currencies, logistics under BRICS+ control- avoid all out major war....However if "the west" is unwilling to give up "uni polar" US rule it may become ever harder to avoid some escalation...

A possible (my non expert view) escalation from BRICS+ could serve to increase grip on energy, currencies, logistics...The Russian attacks on the largest European gas storage in western Ukraine may fit in such a scenario....Further closing the Red Sea/Suez Canal - maybe also "limiting" the Panama canal ? (Already in major problems because of water supplies). An energy-boycott ? 

The US/"israel" did attack/steal Iran tankers/Syrian oil supply....Iran did "stop" some US tankers....

DJ-I still hope nuclear war scenarios are not seen as a realistic option from any side...To many countries have nuclear weapons [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_with_nuclear_weapons[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_with_nuclear_weapons ...

Nuclear war-even "tactical nukes for battlefield use"- would "end us all"...

DJ, This forum has pandemic (more specific Avian Flu) "roots"; if you combine a highly infectious disease with a major war you could end up creating a pandemic...

Wars-by definition-are NEVER "eco-friendly"...in many ways wars are "slow suicide"....no winners...

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walcheren_Campaign[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walcheren_Campaign ;

The Walcheren Campaign ([ˈʋɑlxərə(n)] WAHL-khə-rən) was an unsuccessful British expedition to the Netherlands in 1809 intended to open another front in the Austrian Empire's struggle with France during the War of the Fifth Coalition.

-

Some 39,000 soldiers and 15,000 horses, together with field artillery and two siege trains, crossed the North Sea and landed at Walcheren on 30 July. This was the largest British expedition of that year, larger than the army serving in the Peninsular War in Portugal. Nevertheless, it failed to achieve any of its goals. The Walcheren Campaign involved little fighting, but heavy losses from the sickness popularly dubbed "Walcheren Fever". Although more than 4,000 British troops died during the expedition, only 106 died in combat; the survivors withdrew on 9 December.[1]

and [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walcheren#Napoleonic_Wars[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walcheren#Napoleonic_Wars ;

The expedition turned into a disaster—although Flushing surrendered the Austrians had already been decisively defeated at the Battle of Wagram in early July and were suing for peace. Meanwhile, the French fleet had moved to Antwerp, and the British lost over 4,000 men to a disease called "Walcheren Fever", thought to be a combination of malaria and typhus, as well as to enemy action. The French suffered some 4000 dead, wounded and captured. With the strategic reasons for the campaign gone and the worsening conditions, the British force was withdrawn in December.

DJ, again-my view-the Spanish Flu did become a pandemic mass killer because of World War One...In many ways very likely the H1N1 "Spanish" Flu was "just a flu"...but concentrating the ill and wounded, mass events, troop transports all over the globe, refugees, all turned it into the worst pandemic from the last centuries...

Infectious diseases did kill-but remained most local/regional-before 1900...

-

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/He_blew_with_His_winds,_and_they_were_scattered#[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/He_blew_with_His_winds,_and_they_were_scattered# ;

He blew with His winds, and they were scattered (LatinFlavit et Dissipati Sunt) is a phrase used in the aftermath of the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, when the Spanish fleet was broken up by a storm, which was also called the Protestant Wind.[1] The phrase seems to have had its origin in an inscription on one of the many commemorative medals struck to celebrate the occasion.

also [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamikaze_(typhoon)[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamikaze_(typhoon) ;

The kamikaze (Japanese神風lit.'divine wind') were two winds or storms that are said to have saved Japan from two Mongol fleets under Kublai Khan. These fleets attacked Japan in 1274 and again in 1281.[1] Due to the growth of Zen Buddhism among Samurai at the time, these were the first events where the typhoons were described as "divine wind" as much by their timing as by their force.

D-day was a surprise for the Germans because of a major storm-just before june 6 1944- made such a massive landing very unlikely...

-------

In present wars both healthissues and weather events are major factors...NATO proxy "israel" using diseases to mass murder Palestinians...increasing even global risks for disease spread. Cholera, measles may be hard to control-mixed with "israel/NATO" made famine it is part of a genocide...

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediterranean_tropical-like_cyclone[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediterranean_tropical-like_cyclone are a major risk-also for the eastern Mediterranean coastline...However most storms do not get that far east so far...

Extreme weather-from heath to "rivers in the sky" flooding rain-are increasing risks worldwide...Flattening of Gaza may create serious erosion...

In Ukraine [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multidrug-resistant_tuberculosis#Epidemiology[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multidrug-resistant_tuberculosis#Epidemiology is just one of many health risks...[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediterranean_tropical-like_cyclone#Tropical-like_cyclones_in_the_Black_Sea[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediterranean_tropical-like_cyclone#Tropical-like_cyclones_in_the_Black_Sea ;

On a number of occasions, tropical-like storms similar to the tropical-like cyclones observed in the Mediterranean have formed in the Black Sea, including storms on 21 March 2002, 7–11 August 2002,[29] and 25–29 September 2005.[184] The 25–29 September 2005 cyclone is particularly well-documented and investigated.[185]

--------

Main point; Nature is stronger than humans are...."nature restoring balance" may end humans "if we do not show respect"....

US Economic Decline and Rise of Greater Eurasia - Michael Hudson, Alexander Mercouris & Glenn Diesen

a comment;

🇷🇺 Since Putin took power: 🇷🇺 * Average lifespan up from 64 to 73. * Home ownership up from 58% to 93%. * Fertility rate up from 1.25 to 1.82. * Extreme poverty rate down from 40% to 3%. * Debt-to-GDP down from 93% to 16%. * Crime rate down from 28/100k to 7. This is real leadership. 🇷🇺

DJ China did see an end to (most of) poverty...

One of the outcomes of western sanctions is those countries being sanctioned develop a sort of protectionism...Russian investors did take investments from the west, western investors sold their interests in Russia...It resulted in innovation, economic growth...Russia increasing trade with Asia...

Russia, China may be moving to see most of its citizens "better of" then those in Western Europe/US (etc). 

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)_per_capita#Table[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)_per_capita#Table 

Can give an impression of income per person...however inequality results in a much different picture...US, UK, has a very rich elite...a lot of "the poor" may be "better of" in Russia/China (housing, medical care, education wise). 

US politics in the hands of "rent-seekers" trying to get maximum profits of "old" investments...Resulting in stagnation and lack of innovation...(DJ, older people most of the voters part of the reason). 

----------

In Marxist terms; crisis-concentration-collapse....with a "rent seeking" elite increasing repression...

NATO "increasing war economy" main goal is more money to US war industry...to keep a breaking system going...

DJ-My view; politics "kept hostage ???" by "the older generation ? Unable to deal with a "new multi polar world"....

The EU-UK sticking to the US "ally" against their own interest...my view; by doing so also against the US interests...(If a friend is going the wrong -cold war- way it is your job to give warnings...entering a dead end street...). But older generation rent seekers maybe even more dominant in Europe then in North America...

-------------

Turkish local elections has opposition to Erdogan winning (western media; "democracy is alive"...if Erdogan did win there would not be democrcy...). 

In "israel" massive protests for new elections...talks with Hamas...








“We are tired of dying for the settlements” “Stop the war” Now in Jerusalem

DJ...problem may be elections in "present israel" could result in a win for more extremism...Urban population often much more progressive then rural one...

Ukraine was supposed to see new presidential elections...(before april 1 ?) -zelenski has to step down at the end of may....

The Bloom | Tank Breakthrough West Of Tonenke. Results Of March. The End Of Novomyhailivka 2024.3.31

DJ, Ukraine did see 30,000 soldiers killed in march...Without electricity the economy is breaking down....

So...my view...Russia expecting Ukraine to "implode"....On the battlefield 6 out of 30 US "Abrams-tanks" were destroyed...(costs per tank may have been around 20 million US$ ?), most of Ukraine air defense gone ( a Patriot air-defense system costs over 1 billion US$ ! It includes also radar etc.) 

The "west" not willing to "let Putin win" ends up destroying itself...








Today moving in West Bank.I’m seeing soldiers,settlers, checkpoints,fences everywhere, asking myself how the world wants us to accept two state solution &giving up half of our country or one state & share the land with same people who killed thousands of us! Sounds impossible!

DJ, the alternative for a "two-state solution" can become a "one state solution"...and if it is the west/"israel" blocking any serious talks that "one state" may be a multi-cultural Palestine...

During the 2014 war on Gaza I found this map in a Shujaiya house that had been occupied by Israeli soldiers, indicating the kill zone practice was not an ad hoc decision, but a plan to murder any Palestinian who crossed an invisible line. Now it’s implemented on an even larger scale as Israel commits genocide, including against escaped Israeli captives.

DJ, Again; Most people identifying themselves as "Jewish" do NOT live in "israel"...and quite a lot of "israeli's" hate netanyahu...

Unstoppable! More and more Jews are publicly standing out against Zionism.

 “Jews don’t need their own country. We have the USA for the American Jews. Canada for the Canadian Jews. UK for the British and so on!” 

“Zionists calling Israel ‘the State of the Jews’ is because they want Jews be falsely perceived as a separate ‘nationality.” 

🔥🔥 We’ve got dozens and dozens of Orthodox Jews to speak out against Zionism.

 It’s truly a rarity. They’d traditionally rather be in synagogues than in front of a camera. 

And to those who will say: “Aren’t you future Zionist by praying for the Messiah?” Well, of course not. Our beliefs in the Messiah & yearning for GD to return His presence to the Holy Land is completely dichotomous to Zionism. More: http://truetorahjews.org/_site/qanda/mo

DJ...again, being against zionist-extremism is NOT being anti-semitic...It is a PR/propaganda game by "israel/NATO"....

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

DJ, The Duran-very good discussian (Roman Empire ended because of debts...DJ-Slavery is another problem...Rome at one time had a population of 90% slaves...there are limits in "public support")...

The "solution is in the revolution" -my view- is way to optimistic...Major 20th century revolutions were the outcome of not reforming fast enough...Both Russia (1905-1917) and Iran (1979) had industrialization and "reforms"...but the czar/sjah was (kept) to much out of contact with widespread public demands for reforms...

[url]https://www.gabv.org/declarations/milan-declaration-a-statement-for-peace-2024/[/url] or https://www.gabv.org/declarations/milan-declaration-a-statement-for-peace-2024/ ;

The Global Alliance for Banking on Values (GABV) was created to put finance at the service of People and the Planet. Peace, and the stability that comes with it, is a prerequisite for finance to achieve this goal; to help address the key challenges of our time, such as climate change and social inequity that are at the core of our work. There can be no peace and stability while financial institutions continue to fund the production of, and trade in, arms.  

On the occasion of its 16th Annual Meeting, in Padua and Milan, Italy, the GABV commits and stands in solidarity with everyone working to support the victims of conflict and the pursuit of peace. With this statement, the network for the world’s leading values-based banks undertakes to continue and intensify its efforts to promote peace, in all its forms and calls on financial institutions everywhere to follow its lead and divest from the arms industry that propagates conflicts across the globe. 

DJ, reforms may be "a better alternative"; revolutions can bring a "new elite" going for the same old goals....

If the German "green party" would go for what they claimed...pacifism as a basic...they may bring "reforms" in the financial basics of global economy...

New forms of energy is innovation-very welcome...needed. Public healthcare, education were long term goals for trade unions and "progressive" parties...

So...my view...there are still "left" and "right" wings in politics...neo-liberalism and privatizing is a "new religion" in the west...Even "progressives" support this kind of "liberty"...

DJ, Russia, China, Iran...maybe even Türkiye may not "fit" in the western model of "democracy". Western "democracy" however itself is in an ever deepening crisis...liberalism resulted in everything being for sale...

Both "ukraine" and "israel" would be a "western democracy"....however that "democracy" has become part of the problem....People voted for zelensky to END the war...he escalated the war...German "greens" once were pacifists...now promote exporting weapons to Ukraine (a country in war-so NO export of German weapons, not only based on the Green Party programm but also on the German constitution...). 

Not only "israel" and "ukraine" governments may lose public support-most western countries do not much better...

----------

Germany lost World War One because public support ended...Russia did see the Bolshevik/communist revolution in 1917 because the earlier 1917 revolution by "moderates" did not stop the Russian participation in World War One...Germany did send Lenin from Switzerland via Finland to St. Petersburg...to (help) start the Bolshevik revolution...

One could claim nazi-germany lost World War Two in several steps...Heavy losses in may 1940 (NL did destroy/damage 400 German transport planes-so invading England was delayed)-losing the "battle of Britain" fight over air superiority, not able to damage US-UK Atlantic transports...Starting an invasion of the Soviet Union may have been to early...

Germany could have World War Two...if they had made a few other choices....

We are at present in a NATO/US confrontation with BRICS+....my view; the "west" should have avoided making the rise of BRICS+ a conflict...

Sanctions in 2014 did make Russia stronger...the west weaker...So why sticking to a strategy that does not work ? Lack of any ideas for alternatives ? 

Maybe by now two scenarios for the west;

-Keep escalating wars

-Start finding a way out...

DJ, we have to expect very serious climate disasters this year....Very likely also "major healthissues" will worsen...NATO could be a constructive organization providing help 24/7 around the globe...A "force of good" not of war....

We have to have global cooperation to get out of the worst parts of crises allready on their way...Will pandemics and climate collapse end wars ? 

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

Israel has targeted the Iranian consulate in the Syrian capital in a terrorist attack, leaving seven people martyred including a senior Revolution Guards commander.

Syria's official news agency, SANA, said the strikes were carried out by “the Israeli enemy” and targeted the Consular Section of the Iranian Embassy in the Mezzeh neighborhood in Damascus on Monday afternoon.

“At approximately 00:17 p.m. today, the Israeli enemy launched an air aggression from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan, targeting the Iranian consulate building in Damascus,” SANA said, citing a military source as saying. 

“Our air defense media responded to the aggression’s missiles and shot down some of them. The aggression led to the destruction of the entire building and the martyrdom and injury of everyone inside, and work is underway to recover the bodies.”

The news agency also reported that the Israeli aggression also caused major destruction to "neighboring buildings."

DJ, netanyahu wants Iran to react so "the west has to stop Iran agression"...

Israel has been given Biden’s green light to violate every international norm on the book. In Gaza, it’s used it to commit mass murder, destroy hospitals, impose a starvation siege. In Syria, it’s now using it to destroy an embassy in the hopes of dragging the US into a war with Iran.

Beyond crazy...

🇷🇺🇮🇷 Russian MFA describes Israel’s strike on Iranian consulate as absolutely unacceptable "We urgently call on the Israeli leadership to abandon the practice of provocative military operations in Syria and other neighboring countries," Ministry added 

The international community needs to legally assess Israel’s strike on Iran’s consulate in Damascus, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement. 
"We believe that such aggressive actions by Israel are absolutely unacceptable and must come to an end. We are confident that all responsible members of the international community need to clearly state their position and legally assess these actions," the statement reads. 

"We urgently call on the Israeli leadership to abandon the practice of provocative military operations in Syria and other neighboring countries, which are fraught with extremely dangerous consequences for the entire region," the Russian Foreign Ministry added. 

According to the ministry, the attack completely destroyed the consulate building, leaving several people, including diplomats, dead and injured. 

Moscow "strongly condemns the attack on the Iranian consular office in Syria." "We believe that any infringement on diplomatic and consular missions are totally unacceptable as their immunity is enshrined in the relevant Vienna conventions," the statement says. 

"We would like to point out that the attack was carried out in a densely populated neighborhood of the capital, which created the risk of numerous civilian deaths," the Russian Foreign Ministry noted.

BREAKING: Israeli attack on United Nations Staff Vehicle In its latest crime in Gaza, the Zionist regime targeted a vehicle carrying UN staff who were responsible for distributing food aid among Palestinian refugees. 

The UN troops who were killed during this attack had the citizenship of Australia, Poland, Ireland and England. Israel is a pariah state.

DJ; US reaction;

Bomb an embassy, get $18 Billion.

The rift between the US and the British special services is growing, over the recent series of “Ukrainian” attacks on oil infrastructure in Russia.

Over the past months, the US leadership has repeatedly sent signals to its Ukrainian “partners” that it would be unhappy to see strikes on oil refineries inside Russia. These signals were silently ignored or even publicly rejected by Kyiv.

Most recent media reports suggest that these attacks are likely to become more common in the near future. There are reports that MI6 personnel have held a series of meetings with their little brothers from the SBU and the Main Directorate of Intelligence in Kyiv. These meetings were allegedly dedicated to the development of long-standing strategy and tactical plans for a campaign of attacks on oil refineries in western and central Russia. It is expected that such attacks would include not only drone and missile strikes, but also sabotage acts involving the existing network of saboteurs inside Russia. The supposed goal is to create a local crisis in Russia shortly before the sowing season. This crisis may be furthered by a coordinated campaign of attacks on the Russian border, media disinformation, and staged protests carried out by agents loyal to Kyiv and London within the Russian “opposition”.

DJ, The NATO-proxy terror attack in Crocus City Hall - Moscow was supposed to see the terrorists getting killed...

All four mass murderers survived arrest and provide lots of info NATO would like to hide. 

Again NATO stands for Neo-colonial Atlantic Terrorist Organization....ANY !!! democratic political entity should distance itself from this terrorist organization. 

NATO killed millions of Muslims, tens of thousends of Russians...NATO and nazi's share the same evil roots....

Most NATO military may NOT agree with most NATO actions if they knew what was happening...information is a weapon !

We enjoy a respectful relationship with our Muslim neighbors here in Brooklyn and with many on Social Media. You will not succeed in pitting Jews against Muslims because it works better for you . We are aware of your tactics and will not allow it.

“I am an Orthodox Jew, I do NOT support Zionism. None of my friends support Zionism. None of my neighbors support Zionism.” “It's time for people to understand the difference between the ‘religion’ of Judaism & the ‘ideology’ of Zionism.” 

DJ, western "politicians-for-sale" on purpose claiming being against extremist zionists acts of terror makes you anti-semitic...








This morning began with the revelation of Israel’s gruesome Shifa Hospital massacre. A few hours later, Israel bombed a diplomatic compound - an embassy - in Syria. Tonight it has murdered several foreign aid workers in an airstrike on their car in Gaza.

You are NOT a "nazi-lover" if you call these acts of terror acts of terror...








There is no red line, as Biden said. This is his genocide.

DJ, NATO countries keep sending weapons, doing trade with "israel"...without "NATO help" there would not even be an "israel"....

Today, at 17:00 local time, Israel bombed the Iranian embassy area in Damascus, Syria. It hit a building next to the embassy which is used for consular services as well as for accommodations for embassy staff.

The target of the attack was General Mohammad Reza Zahedi (Abou Mahdi Zahedi) of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp. He as well as other IRGC personnel were killed.

Zahedi was stationed in Damascus on invitation of the Syrian government. His responsibilities  included the IRGC relations with friendly forces in Lebanon as well as Syria.

The attack can be seen as another attempt by the Israeli government to incite a war with Hizbullah on its northern border. The idea behind such a war is to escalate far enough to draw U.S. forces into the fight (and to leave it to them to clean up the mess).

I doubt that the IRGC or its allies will fall for this. Zahedi will be replaced and the resistance against Israel will continue as planned.

Israeli officials in embassies around the world will now be forced to limit their movements in the general public as they are the most likely targets of revenge strikes.

DJ, Iran-and Russia (?) BRICS+ (?) may find proxies to attack "israel/NATO" decission/command posts in occupied Palestine...

Israeli author and civil rights activist Sami Michael passed away today at the age of 97. He was celebrated not only for his literary works but also for his relentless struggle for justice, peace, and equality. May his memory bless us with the peace he always yearned for.

A lot of "israeli citizens";

fear netanyahu is destroying "this beautiful land"....

#UkraineRussiaWar After the Russians destroyed all power plants in Kharkiv and began using FABs within the city, the population of Kharkov began to leave their homes en masse towards central and western Ukraine.

Hyperimperialism: US-NATO’s Dangerous and Decadent New Stage, w/ Vijay Prashad

What is this new era of “Hyperimperialism” for the US/NATO Empire? 

Where do Gaza, Ukraine, and the Cold War on China fit in? 

How is the decline of Global North hegemony shifting the geopolitical landscape? 

Are there new possibilities for emergent organizations of the Global South? How do we maintain hope as we watch an exterminationist campaign unfold in Gaza? 

To discuss this and more, Rania Khalek was joined by author, historian and journalist Vijay Prashad, Executive Director of The Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, which recently published a dossier on “Hyperimperialism.” Read the Tricontinental report: Hyper-Imperialism: A Dangerous Decadent New Stage https://thetricontinental.org/studies...

Destroying Peace Since 1949. NATO: Anatomy of a Bad Idea | A. Lieven, J. Matlock & J. Mearsheimer

On April 4, 1949 the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) was founded in Washington DC. To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the worlds largest military alliance, we hosted a panel with three iconic IR thinkers. Jack Matlock—the last US Ambassador to the Soviet Union, Professor John Mearsheimer—the World's most renowned realist thinker, and Anatol Lieven—the Quincy Institute's finest journalist, are our guests. 

The panel was convened by the American Committee for US-Russia Accord and Catharina vanden Heuvel, the former Editor in Chief of the Nation Magazine together with Neutrality Studies. 

In this talk, the three realists explain how NATO after the Cold War has morphed into a global linchpin of instability and a failed vehicle of US power projection.

DJ; Who needs a "defense organisation" if there is no enemy ? Any large organization may end up justifiying its own existance...

US-dominated-NATO NEEDS WARS !!! The war-industry is a main motor for both the US economy and US dominance...

If EU/UK would NOT buy US weapons very likely NATO may have ended a long time ago...

NATO expansionism is in the interest of the 0,1% making money out of wars...with a private companies run weapon industry...

Most countries keep "strategic industries" under state supervision-if not state owned/funded...

Big Pharma, defense and banking can "make or break" a country...so why put that in the hands of "private investors" ???

Those "private investors" also major "donors" for most political groups in western "democrazies"....How much does a politician/vote cost ???

-----------

April 4 1949 did see many early NATO members still in (post)colonial wars...it was LESS then 4 years after the end of World War Two...

How can the "basics" of nazism NOT be "linked" to the basics of NATO ? The west financed nazism...

-Germany was supposed to do "the dirty work" getting Soviet/Russian energy, raw materials back under western control. It was under western control till the october revolution of 1917...Germany did get Lenin to Russia to end the war for Germany -under German conditions- in 1917...So Germany created the Soviet mess...had to clean it up...

-Russia had been in conflict/collision with the west most of the 19th century; Afghanistan, China became a Russian-British India frontline...Russian America became Alaska...The UK was one of the drivers behind the 1905 Japan-Russia war...Crimea War had France, UK, Ottoman-Turks united against Russia...

-Western elite wanted to get rid of "communists" (anarchists, socialist etc) endangering the status quo with a "god given order" that put that elite on top of society-as a link between "god" and "humans"...

-In its history NATO did NOT defend democracy...it supported fascism...military rule..A lot of NATO leaders had nazi-links ([url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Luns[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Luns ;He served as Secretary General of NATO from 1 October 1971 until 25 June 1984

Like his father, Luns demonstrated a preference for conservative and authoritarian political parties and an interest in international politics. As a young student he positioned himself on the political right, favouring a strong authority for the state and being of the opinion that socialism, because of its idealistic ideology, had fostered the rise of fascism and nazism.[4] Luns joined the National Socialist Movement in the Netherlands (NSB) in 1933)

DJ, Ukraine, "israel" never were official NATO-members...but one of many "dirty NATO secrets" is who decides on who can join NATO and what it means...My view; Both NATO proxies Ukraine and "israel" are now used to fight for US dominance...

Does NATO now even control western main stream media ? Are "dark forces" pushing us towards "very major war"? 

-----------







Square profile picture

Israel Assures It Doing Everything Possible To Minimize Civilians

DJ, "israel" only can kill tens of thousends Palestinians, hundreds of journalists, attack embassies with NATO help...Any criticism on it is labelled "anti-semitism"...

Calling for an end to the Ukraine bloodbath makes you a "Putin-lover"...

--------

The rest of the world only can conclude "the west" still believes they have a right to dominate and exploit the rest...

The west-NATO- is the real source of global conflicts...If there has to be peace, stability, a way out of poverty and exploitation; END NATO !

In the last 24 hours alone, Israel has: • Decimated Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza; • Massacred 400+ Palestinians; • Bombed Iran’s embassy in Syria; • Intentionally killed 7 humanitarian workers. Where are the calls for sanctions? Where is the International Criminal Court?

To date, 32,975 Palestinians have been killed, and 75,577 people were injured in Israeli strikes in Gaza since October 7, according to local authorities on Wednesday.

DJ...The Gaza-genocide looks more like the "shock-and-awe" US/NATO mass murder in Iraq and Syria than to "Russian agression" stopping NATO moving east in/via Ukraine...

Genocide is a "normal" for NATO...

Crimean Bridge - Goal No. 1 | Romania Is Going To Send Troops To Ukraine. Military Summary 2024.04.3

DJ, MS claiming/speculating;

-Romania already transferring US-Abrams tanks towards Moldova

-In Moldova(and Transnestria-Russian held) SW Ukraine over 700,000 Romanians live...

-So Romania "going for protection" into Moldova and SW Ukraine

MS speculating (more) French, UK, Poland, Baltics (no doubt NL, DK) troops soon may enter Ukraine...

-Under international law the west-idea of "taking over billions of Russian assets/or interests" is seen as stealing...

Stealing is not new for NATO-however if "the west" steals Russian money/gold etc. Russia may be able to "take over/balance" with western assets in other parts of the globe...The "west" no longer is able to run/order global finance...

-Sending F16's to Ukraine would see those F16's destroyed within months...So far the US -official- number of Abrams-tanks in Ukraine is 30...at least 7 of them already destroyed...

-Ukraine airfields "easy targets" for Russia...so an idea was to use western air bases for "Ukraine" F16's...Russia made it clear in that case those western air bases become a (legal) target...

DJ-"Ukraine" weapons have to have Ukraine signs (Yellow-Blue flag etc.)  or "no signs"...If a USAF, RAF (UK) etc plane would be used in attacks it would pull the US, UK etc in the war...

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

DJ, Today 75 years ago -april 4-1949-NATO was formed...

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I ; World War I[j] or the First World War (28 July 1914 – 11 November 1918) was a global conflict between two coalitions, the Allies and the Central Powers.

DJ, Military blocs can turn a limited regional conflict into a world war....[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Pact[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Pact ;

The Warsaw Pact (WP),[d] formally the Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance (TFCMA),[e] was a collective defense treaty signed in WarsawPoland, between the Soviet Union and seven other Eastern Bloc socialist republics of Central and Eastern Europe in May 1955

DJ [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO#History[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO#History the basics for NATO started after the end of World War Two in Europe...

I can not de-link it from [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Unthinkable[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Unthinkable ;

Operation Unthinkable was the name given to two related possible future war plans developed by the British Chiefs of Staff Committee against the USSR during 1945. The plans were never implemented. The creation of the plans was ordered by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill in May 1945 and developed by the British Armed Forces' Joint Planning Staff in May 1945 at the end of World War II in Europe.[1]


One plan assumed a surprise attack on the Soviet forces stationed in Germany to impose "the will of the United States and British Empire upon Russia".[2] "The will" was qualified as "a square deal for Poland",[3] which probably meant enforcing the recently signed Yalta Agreement. The planners decided that without American help, the British would probably fail. The assessment, signed by the Chief of Army Staff on 9 June 1945, concluded: "It would be beyond our power to win a quick but limited success and we would be committed to a protracted war against heavy odds".[2] 


The code name was now reused instead for a second plan, which was a defensive scenario by which the British were to defend against a Soviet drive towards the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean after the withdrawal of the American forces from the Continent. When the Labour Party acquired power by the 1945 general election, it ignored the draft plan.

From its start NATO was both anti-Russia and anti-communist...like many western leaders already were before and during World War Two....

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_atomic_bomb_project[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_atomic_bomb_project ;On 29 August 1949, the Soviet Union secretly conducted its first successful weapon test (First Lightning, based on the American "Fat Man" design) at the Semipalatinsk-21 in Kazakhstan

so within 5 months of the start of NATO the Soviet Union had its "A-bomb"...

Did NATO work ? 

-We did see lots of wars...Middle East, Korea, Vietnam...colonial wars..

-It did further increase the power of the MICC Military Industrial Congressional Complex (Eisenhouwer)

-Anti-communism, support for fascism, colonialism also mixed well with NATO...

The Warsaw Pact ended, the Soviet Union ended...around 1991...NATO stayed...

-Today NATO is a mechanism to sell US weapons to other NATO members "so we all use the same tools"..

-Also NATO is protecting the US-petro-$, invading Libya, Iraq to keep energy under western control

-"Peace mission" to support pro-western dictators in Africa; neo-colonialism

-As a propagandatool "NATO brings peace" the others are agressive..

And here we are with two major wars escalating. Two "non-NATO NATO members:  Ukraine and "israel" involved...Western "leaders" unable to give up the idea western dominance and exploitation may end after 500 years...Somehow the "10%" west has "a right/is superior" over the "90%" rest...With "power" concentrated in just 0,1% of global population...Growing inequality inside that "west"...

The main reason we did not yet see nuclear war -spread of nuclear weapons did NOT stop- is every "limited brain" understands nuclear war is the end...

Still we are getting closer each day to nuclear war...

From all global risks; climate, pandemics, economy/debt, wars may be the "easiest" to solve...Go for diplomacy ! Start (in)direct talks...! Get out of confrontationism and into "good old" diplomacy !

The "good news" is most wars-if not all- can be avoided...the bad news is...we are NOT doing that...

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

Russia Out Producing NATO | Ukraine Needs A New Army. Military Summary For 2024.04.03

-

#UkraineRussiaWar All sides of the Ukrainian conflict are preparing for the decisive summer battle. Ukraine is about to announce a mobilization, Western NATO member countries will send troops to Ukraine, weapons factories in Russia are working in several shifts, tens of thousands of people are involved in the production of weapons. This will be a historic battle that will determine the future of all mankind.

DJ, Finland #7 to sign a bi-lateral agreement with Ukraine on "aid"...very likely lots of "non-public/secret agreements" a.o. on sending Finish troops...

NATO may go for another 100 billion $/€ fund "for aid" -if "trump" becomes US president he may find a lot of continuation of the (escalations of) war in Ukraine already arranged...

History;

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Barbarossa[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Barbarossa June 1941 Germany and allies started the invasion of the Soviet Union....Germany was NOT able to beat the UK before that...It was not able to get "a good grip" in SE Europe (Yugoslavia a.o.)...In Africa Germany/Italy already were in an impossible position...Pearl Harbour was still months away...Japan was NOT at war with both the Soviet Union or USA/UK...

-Germany very likely overestimated the speed with wich they could move into the Soviet Union

-Germany very likely expected even more support from the Soviet population (it did get support in the Baltics, Ukraine)

-Also Germany overestimated its own production capacity (weapons, energy) and logistics

-Germany underestimated the will of the Soviet Union to "make sacrifices"...tens of millions killed

-Germany nazi's hated Russians, Bolsjevik/communists, Jews that much it did decrease support they had fast...

There may still be a clip on YouTube of young Ukraine women marching with a self made nazi-flag to welcome German (etc) troops...They felt liberated from stalin-terror...Sometimes within a few hours nazi's showed they were even better in terror...

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einsatzgruppen[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einsatzgruppen were right behind the German/axis front line troops, killing Jews, communists, enforcing others to work for the nazi's....

----------

NATO now seems to be preparing for an -almost open- war with Russia...repeating a lot of the 1941 mistakes...

-NATO production capacity is -by far- not able to deal with Russian war production....

-Russians will NOT welcome NATO forces...most Russians support Putin...

-NATO did NOT win in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan ...so why even start a fight with Russia ????

-Russians "love" (their) history and country...still will "give all they have" to defend "mother" Russia

-Citizens in NATO countries NEVER !!!! agreed with a NATO war against Russia

-Russia is a BRICS+ frontline....further escalation may see BRICS+ developing military cooperation against NATO...

Still "ratio" seems not to be a factor with present western "leaders"...in many ways NATO was already beaten in Ukraine...so NATO may get beaten twice...

[url]https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/ukrainian-drones-hit-russias-third-largest-oil-refinery[/url] or https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/ukrainian-drones-hit-russias-third-largest-oil-refinery UK-MI6 may be coordinating "UKraine" attacks on Russian energy...pushing up energy prices around the globe...The US-biden- getting frustrated because he wants to win the upcoming US elections...

DJ; In short-both Ukraine and "israel" may collapse under the weight of the wars...Like Germany november 1918 "regime change/revolution" may bring an end to both wars...

The sooner the better ! Further escalation brings us much to close to nuclear war !

Pandemics, climate collapse need urgently global answers...

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

What the world now URGENTLY needs is realism and diplomacy...somehow "the west" is out of touch with both...

Lots of western claims "pseudo intel" etc. "Iran getting ready for missile strike on "israel"...When you look at a sequence; Iraqi militias hit a high priority target in Eilat "israel"-then "israel" attacked the Iran embassy in Damascus/Syria...a chain reaction...

netanyahu would love to see an open major Iran strike on "israel"...He would claim an "unprovoked attack" on "peaceloving" democrazy "israel" by the Iran dictatorship...

NATO would have to "help" "israel" even more in its "self defense in an attack on democrazy"-defending western values blablabla...

Western media still go for "barbaric" Russian attacks on UKraine...killing "people in hotels that may have been western tax payed mercenaries/neo-nazi's"....ignoring UKraine still using western weapons to attack Donetsk, Belgorod-trying to kill as many Russians as they can...

After all hate did see Jews/concentrationcamp survivors still being transported april/may 1945 -in part to silence witnesses...

Ukraine is collapsing;

-US "democrats" blame "republicans/trump"

-EU/UK want to send soldiers they do not have....

-In Ukraine only 8% of the population willing to die for zelensky/NATO

-Russia getting new volunteers for its army -1,000+- per day, Ukraine losses may be the same number 1,000+ per day...

Both the NATO proxy wars, like Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen total disasters from a geo-political perspective...however...another 100 billion $/€ in a NATO fund for "aid" for Ukraine may mean 75/80% going to the US war industry...That war industry goal is to maximize profits...Western high tech weapons FAIL in modern warfare...

----------

So what is next ? 

H5N1 is next ! 

"We have to stand united in the fight against the virus"...."China lab-leaked the virus" ..."Putin (in person) infected US cows" ...NATO has to defend US cows and poultry !

Did Caligula really declare war on Neptune?



It's a pretty popular little text making its rounds on the internet claiming that Caligula declared war on Neptune and ordered soldiers to stab the water and collect seashells. I know Roman Emperors were a bit.. eccentric but this one seems too outlandish. Is there any truth to this tale?

DJ...The Roman emperor caligula also made his favorite horse senator...(at least his enemies claim he did...)...Group insanity...One of the major basics in western policies is "wishfull thinking"...

-CO2 "budget" while climate collapse is all around...just lift the base line of "pre-industrial" to 1850-1900 and look for a 10-year average...In that way "we keep global warming under 2C"

-CoViD is over...we stopped testing...

-zelensky claiming Ukraine still may win -if we only send more money...so "we need to create more debts"...

DJ-On wich side is zelensky ? He may be more effective in destroying NATO/the west than even Putin is ! 

For netanyahu...he may bring the end of "israel"...no need for Iran to do so !

------------

DJ, Both Iran and Russia did see western supported terrorism...I do not doubt a lot of talks in BRICS+ and its allies on how to deal with it...

My view; further decrease of trade pushing the west deeper into inflation. BRICS+extra may control global energy, logistics, finance even...

NATO "needs" to expand to create a bigger market for US weapons and steal more energy/resources...The Gaza-genocide shows the world "western values"...A reminder of both earlier genocides and colonialism by "civilized christian white men"....

Each day of genocide in Palestine, Ukraine is uniting the world against western criminal insanity !

If the "west" wants to survive it needs to STOP NOW !!! both wars in Palestine, Ukraine and -finally- start talking !

Make NATO Trump-Proof w/ Jeffrey Sachs (Live)

DJ-Another alternative may be western collapse, sinking in chaos created by foolish western leaders in the post Soviet times...

NL "news";

-Unclear who is shooting at Palestinians in Gaza

-Another Ukraine victory-Engels airbase (Samara) 6 Russian planes destroyed...

DJ-Western leaders are used to getting "as best as possible" info from civil servants. On foreign policy they get propaganda and lies...still these "leaders" ignore "warnings"..."Ukraine still may win"..."israel is trying to limit killing civilians"....

The only way I can "understand" western "politics" is by believing they simply get very wrong info...

DJ-More NL "news"-Austria/Switzerland Alps glaciers melting high speed...there is no way of stopping that any longer...Here in NL SW wind will bring 25C/close to 80F temperatures...very "warm" for NL early april...DJ-the same wind may see in july 55C in Spain-45C in NL-close to 20C moving into the arctic...

WE DO NOT HAVE ANY ROOM FOR WARS !!!!!

Pandemics we are moving towards a "double pandemic"; CoViD far from over, H5N1 a growing risk...both viral diseases widespread in MANY mammals-so it will NOT run out of hosts...Both diseases may have over a trillion possible mammal hosts-only 8 billion of them are "human"...

YES-A disease may be self limiting; if it runs out of hosts spread will stop...NO-CoViD, H5N1/Flu is NOT running out of hosts...it can kill BILLIONS of humans...

The Situation Is CRITICAL In Ukraine | Chasiv Yar Is In Danger. MilitarySummary 2024.4.5

DJ, biden is "dumping" UKraine because it is in the way of reelection...








⚡#BREAKING Al Mayadeen: “CNN” citing American officials: Washington’s intelligence information indicates that Iran is planning an attack that includes a swarm of drones and cruise missiles.

DJ, lots of non-sense Iran would have asked the US "permission/guarantees" for a response on the "israel" attack on the Iran embassy in Damascus-Syria...

By now BRICS-extra may have decided it is time to clear West Asia from any US/NATO presence...I do think there may be still some form of "indirect" communication between Iran, Russia and the US/NATO...but the BRICS-extra strategy may be switching to "war"...then talk...For now there is NO basis for any realistic talks so ;

"BRICS-extra is going to beat up NATO".....and that is bad !

⚡#BREAKING US On high alert and actively preparing for possible significant attack by Iran in response to Israeli strike in Damascus -US Official — Reuters

DJ, 

-"BRICS-extra" is NOT BRICS+; Countries like Syria, Iraq, Türkiye, Jordan are NOT in BRICS+. 

-So far the Iran part of the war mostly was "by proxy" (Hezbollah, Shia-militias).that may change

-Syria/Assad wants to restore control over all of Syria-including the Golan Heights

-Türkiye wants to "control" Kurds in Syria/Iraq

-Russia expected "israel/netanyahu" to "limit its role" in Ukraine..."israel" did not...

-Arab countries see massive protests against the NATO genocide in Palestine

All these "ingredients" may by now have resulted in a war plan. DJ-my speculation; BRICS-extra may have indirect talks with NATO on this war plan...

Iran-Türkiye-Arab states can mobilize millions of soldiers, get Russian/Chinese support (even North Korea could send an army...)...So-by now- the BRICS-extra "story" to NATO may be; You (NATO) deal with "israel" or "we" (BRICS-extra) will do it....

For biden "israel" must be a nightmare...NATO by now finds out in the "real world" NATO armies have zero chance...

-----------

So what will be next ? 

H5N1 ! We "must fight the virus"....all of a sudden "the west" also rediscovers climate collapse..."Joe Biden stands for public health and the climate-vote for Joe!"... (and forget about more NATO disasters...)

Without NATO supplies bot UKraine and USrael can not fight a war...WITH NATO supplies they can not WIN a war...

----------

It may be some high rank BRICS-extra military explained high rank NATO military how BRICS-extra will destroy NATO if NATO does not stop provocations and agression...

IF NATO wants all out war it can have it...NOT by going country for country; first Russia, than Iran, than China...BRICS-extra will take the initiative...

IF NATO wants all out war it can have it...Most if not all NATO carriers sunk, most-if not all-NATO bases in West Asia destroyed...

IF NATO wants all out war it can have it...NATO military killed in a first major (non-nuclear) attack 100,000+ ...

IF NATO wants all out war it can have it...hypersonic missiles that can not be stopped going for targets BRICS-extra knows...

So...after a "first strike" what would NATO do ? Go nuclear ? Only to see BRICS-extra may be faster...and spanning 90% of the globe ? 

DJ-The "west" has put itself in an impossible position...BRICS+ still wants to go for "make trade not war" -with even limited room for US$,€,£...However "western leaders" better come to their senses...Even countries like Saudi Arabia, India may be losing patience with western arrogance, racism, stupidity...

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

DJ, Russian losses in the Ukraine war will run in the tens-of-thousends...might be over 100,000+ killed Russians...Still for every (pro)Russian fighter killed several others are willing to replace him...

"israel" may kill dozens of Palestinian fighters per day...but there are more than enough people willing to replace them...

Both Russia and Palestine are NOT running out of weapons/supplies...

-Gaza only can be "controlled" by "israel/NATO" by turning it into sand...bulldozers flattening Gaza...

-In Ukraine growing risks of major wildfires-both NATO and BRICS-extra may use fire as a weapon...

The "west" is now paying the "governments" of "israel" and Ukraine...both countries are bankrupt...

The "west" did invest over a trillion into these proxies since 2014...

The "west" is now facing bankruptcy itself...








Like World Central Kitchen, the heroic Palestine Red Crescent first responders who went to rescue 6-year-old Hind Rajab also received clearance from the Israeli military to get her. They were killed by the Israeli military anyway and so was 6 year old Hind.

You do not win a war by murdering children or killing Russian citizens...

You do not win a war by lying, ignoring genocide...western media have "gone [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Goebbels[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Goebbels ....








Russia bribed politicians, EU officials claimed. But they provided no proof and made no arrests. And now, Public has learned, NGOs are working as front groups for Western military and intelligence agencies to spread disinformation and interfere, illegally, in European elections.

DJ, it should not be a surprise the Military Industrial Complex-MIC (again) buying media and politics...MIC also was a main supporter of nazi-ism...NATO was their idea..."war-for-profit"...Is there a "profit-kill-ratio"? Every person dying in a war bringing that much profits ? 

Most of the world is keeping "strategic industries" pharma, war, logistics under state control...The "west" has a private industry+ banks making money out of war !

The "west" has "politicians/parties" depending on "donors" so MIC ends up buying politics and media...

Nasrallah's Quds Day speech today departed from convention in several ways. 

First, despite not usually speaking on behalf of Iran, he affirmed that an Iranian retaliation was "inevitable" and "imminent", although it might take longer than Hizbullah's usual response time. 

Second, he referred to Israel's as yet undetermined "response to the response" as one that would usher a "new phase" for the region, and which would lead to a "resolution of the battle". 

The last time Nasrallah used similar terminology was in the 2006, July War, and in the period after whenever he would describe the next "Great War". He also uncharacteristically warned everyone to "not bury their heads in the sand" and prepare for any eventuality, i.e. full scale regional war.   While this is of course psychological warfare designed to emphasise Hizbullah's and the Resistance Axis' readiness for war, which he did indeed affirm, it does signal a confidence in a significant Iranian response and the Axis’ willingness to turn the threat of war into opportunity.

DJ, Iran is part of BRICS+...BRICS"extra"-the "global south" does NOT need war...the "west" needs war to keep the rest down and poor...

Again...Iran will not (re)act on its own...it will be part of a wider BRICS-extra plan. 

BRICS-extra by now must be "fed up" with "the west". If the "west" is not willing to go for "realistic talks" then "military action" may be needed to "create a basis" for "realistic talks"....

DJ, The world is facing very major problems...climate may be the hardest to solve...Human survival is very much at risk ! We should NOT be in these kinds of wars-need global answers urgently...

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

DJ, A way to have avoided the "Ukraine-war" may have been NATO moving into Ukraine (invited by a pro-western puppet regime) somewhere between 2014 and 2020...to "restore order"...Come to the "assistance" of "Ukraine friends"...Ukraine-after NATO moving in- could have joined NATO....

Russia surprised, shocked and very angry but maybe not ready (yet)  to "move in"...Eastern Ukraine, Crimea may have been "disputed"...however NATO would have been in a much better and stronger position then it is in now...

Both NATO-"states" "israel" and Ukraine now may see public support for their pro-western regimes dropping...

By now BRICS-extra may shifting away from "local" regime changes; ending netanyahu/zelensky to "ending NATO"...The NATO goal was to "end" Russia, Iran, Syria...

Puppet regimes, fake-news, proxy wars may have been "old school" even for the Romans and Greeks-a way to be able to deal with the costs of war...

-----

NATO wars have cost trillions...who has to pay for that ? YOU have to pay for that !

When YOU find out YOU are paying for debts and profits making a few "very rich" even more rich YOU should get very angry !

Housing, education, healthcare, transport-all those costs going up faster than your income...With western economies now close to crashing there may be only a few "roads" to avoid next generations having to pay for present wars...Re-distribution of wealth, increasing tax for the "very rich"-limiting routes to tax-evasion...I think soon most people may demand these kind of changes....

If you want to do "the best" to avoid future wars get the war-industry under public control !

A few years ago a Russian anti-tank weapon did cost 5% of a US one...with the Russian one in many ways "doing better"...By now replacing a Abrams, Leopard-2, Challanger tank may cost more than twice it did cost a few years ago...With the west getting less and less grip on energy, raw materials and -even- logistics...(Red Sea/Suez Canal...Panama-canal running out of water...). 

The "west" is already running out of finance for more war...Spending 2% of a GDP may result in less than 50% of what that money would have bought any western army prior to 2022...

BRICS+ however may see costs for their military go down...Russian oil/energy export to China, India (Saudi Arabia, Türkiye) is "booming"...Lots of OPEC countries increasing export of their own energy to the "west" at high prices and buying Russian energy at low costs...

In that way the "west" simply can not win....Divide & Rule-trying to get wars between Algeria and Morocco, Ethiopia and Somalia, a Baluchistan uprising in the Iran-Pakistan border (with attacks on Chinese in  [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwadar_Port[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwadar_Port) may no longer be enough to keep "the west #1"...

🇷🇺 🇷🇸Serbian film director Emir Kusturica - at the meeting with President Putin Kusturica to Putin: The struggle that's taking place now in Ukraine is clear to us. We saw what Croatia's "Bandera people" did: they kicked out 230,000 Serbs. 

This analogy is very important for everyone. Putin to Kusturica: Your assessments of today, including the tragic events in Ukraine, fully coincide with mine. 

You are absolutely right. What happened in Serbia back in the day and what is happening now between Russia and Ukraine - these are, of course, very similar phenomena. 

It's about glorifying the fascist elements of the past, putting them on a pedestal, giving them a new life in the present day. It is amazing how tenacious this ideology is: one of misanthropy and extreme nationalism, which has been used by so many forces over the centuries. 

By the way, it's always primarily served geopolitical interests, not ideological ones.

SHOCKING: Yellen THREATENS CHINA Over Trade with RUSSIA

DJ, comments under the video also reflect my view....

-Russia has a very large state-controlled weapon industry; it may by know-how/weapons from outside Russia if it can get it at low prices/large numbers...but it does NOT need to import weapons...

-"Free trade" is a "western value" when it is in the west its interest...Other countries going for free trade face sanctions, tariffs, if not war...

-China and Russia have a border maybe even larger than the US-Canada border...So the US believes they can tell China NOT to do trade with a very major economy "next door"????

-The ONLY reason why there are wars in UKraine, Palestine is NATO is providing the "tools" for war...not only weapons/intel but even paying governments because both UKraine and USrael do no longer have an economy...

-A further outcome of yellen/blinken/biden stupidity is BRICS+ moving further on "security"....

-Again and again western "leaders" show such a lack of respect and wisdom...BRICS+ has "no hope" there is ANY point in talks with the -present- west....

DJ; Scott Ritter; USrael attacked the Iran embassy in Damascus because there was a meeting of Iran/other military on how/when to escalate war with USrael...(Red Sea/Yemen, Hezbollah, Palestinians in USrael...) -DJ; From a "military view" that USrael attack was a succes...

DJ-A bit unclear what role the US played in it all; did the US give info to USrael on the meeting ? Did USrael tell its "provider" it would attack ? Very likely US made planes used US made bombs/missiles for the attack...

DJ-I disagree with Scott Ritter on the division of Sunni/Shia-Islamic countries and their support for Palestine;

-The division on Sunni/Shia was a western made "tool" to divide & rule...

-Maybe "the region" does not care that much on Palestine; it DOES CARE about their own interests-NATO has become their enemy...

-DJ-Maybe there is a "regional division" in "old kingdoms" and more modern "republics"...the "kingdoms" once were supported/kept alive by "the west"...

Iran's Proxies Attack U.S. Army Base With Missiles; First Strike After Tehran's 'Revenge' Warning

A military base in Syria's Deir ez-Zor area, where U.S. troops and their allies are stationed, was attacked on April 6 with missiles. Loud explosions were heard and columns of smoke rose, prompting the U.S. to rush more forces there. The attack is a first of its kind after Iran warned of consequences following the April 1 air strikes on its embassy in Damascus. Iran blamed Israel for the strikes and asked the U.S. to step aside to avoid being hit.

DJ, Lots of "sources" claim Iran itself-not its proxies-would go for a strike on USrael-inside USrael...DJ-One of the targets could be the [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Gurion_Airport[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Gurion_Airport ...USrael did attack Damascus/Aleppo airports in Syria to stop Iran transports...So -a major attack- on a the major USrael airport would further limit western supplies for their proxy/"fake country" USrael...

Again, DJ by now BRICS-extra may try to coordinate how to react on NATO terrorism in Moscow, Belgorod, Damascus/Syria...

Since China/others know "they are next" -and they are getting fed up by western arrogance and lies they may decide "to create a realistic basis for discussion"...

Such "realism" may mean destroying NATO ships in the Red Sea/Mediterranean...

Destroying NATO bases in Syria/Iraq

Very likely there will be "lots of discussion/pressure" on countries like Türkiye, Jordan, Qatar on "how to deal with US bases inside their borders"...It would be "unwelcome" if Syria/Iraq would have to attack NATO bases in Türkiye/Jordan....

Africa may become more of a frontline...China is a major investor in the region...may try to "increase regional security" with BRICS+ partners South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia and future BRICS members like Algeria, Angola, Nigeria...(some of  the foreign fighters on the Russian side in Ukraine come from these countries...Serbia, Cuba, Venezuela etc. may also have "limited military" on the Russian side-maybe for training goals...).

Maybe a bit on history;

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anschluss#Plebiscite[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anschluss#Plebiscite ;

The Anschluss was given immediate effect by legislative act on 13 March, subject to ratification by a plebiscite. Austria became the province of Ostmark, and Seyss-Inquart was appointed governor. The plebiscite was held on 10 April and officially recorded a support of 99.7% of the voters.[73]

While historians concur that the votes were accurately counted, the process was neither free nor secret. Officials were present directly beside the voting booths and received the voting ballot by hand (in contrast to a secret vote where the voting ballot is inserted into a closed box). In some remote areas of Austria, people voted to preserve the independence of Austria on 13 March (in Schuschnigg's planned but cancelled plebiscite) despite the Wehrmacht's presence. For instance, in the village of Innervillgraten, a majority of 95% voted for Austria's independence.[81] However, in the plebiscite on 10 April, 73.3% of votes in Innervillgraten were in favor of the Anschluss, which was still the lowest number of all Austrian municipalities.[94] In case of a fair plebiscite, the Anschluss would have been supported only by 20% of the Austrian population.[95][96]

Austria remained part of Germany until the end of World War II. A provisional government in Allied-occupied Austria declared the Anschluss "null und nichtig" (null and void) on 27 April 1945.[citation needed] Henceforth, Austria was recognized as a separate country, although it remained divided into occupation zones and controlled by the Allied Commission until 1955, when the Austrian State Treaty restored its sovereignty.

DJ, Austrians do speak German, small minorities on the borders may have another native language...Austria-Hungary once was "the dominant player" in (Central) Europe...

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austrian_State_Treaty[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austrian_State_Treaty ;

The Austrian State Treaty (GermanÖsterreichischer Staatsvertrag [ˈøːstəraɪçɪʃɐ ˈʃtaːtsfɛɐ̯ˌtraːk] ) or Austrian Independence Treaty re-established Austria as a sovereign state.[2] It was signed on 15 May 1955 in Vienna, at the Schloss Belvedere among the Allied occupying powers (France, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Soviet Union) and the Austrian government.[1] The neighbouring Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia acceded to the treaty subsequently.[1] It officially came into force on 27 July 1955.[1]

-

The treaty re-established a freesovereign and democratic Austria. The basis for the treaty was the Moscow Declaration of 30 October 1943. The agreement and its annexes provided for Soviet oilfield concessions and property rights of oil refineries in Eastern Austria and the transfer of the assets of the Danube Shipping Company to the USSR.[1]

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austrian_State_Treaty#/media/File:Austria_Occupation_Zones_1945-55_en.svg[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austrian_State_Treaty#/media/File:Austria_Occupation_Zones_1945-55_en.svg 

DJ, The Soviet Union pulled back its forces from the east of Austria-including Vienna...

When Germany "took over NL" in may 1940 a basic popular idea in Germany may have been "The Dutch are Deutsch/German-but they do not know it"...It turned out to be a VERY WRONG idea !

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillarisation[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillarisation ;

Pillarisation (from the Dutchverzuiling) is the vertical separation of citizens into groups by religion and associated political beliefs. These societies were (and in some areas, still are) divided into two or more groups known as pillars (Dutch: zuilen). The best-known examples of this have historically occurred in the Netherlands and Belgium.

Each pillar may have its own social institutions and social organizations. These may include its own newspapers, broadcasting organisations, political parties, trade unions, farmers' associations, banks, stores, schools, hospitals, universities, scouting organisations and sports clubs. Such segregation means that many people have little or no personal contact with members of other pillars.

DJ, besides the "pilarisation" NL economy much more was trade/colonial oriented...The Dutch East Indies trade ended up in NL providing Europe/the World not only with food products from NL soil but also chocolate, tea, coffee etc. trade based on a centuries old (pseudo)colonial system...

One could look at Dutch as a "sort of German dialect"...[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_German#Geographical_extent[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_German#Geographical_extent ...hitler did outlaw speaking "Low German" in 1936...once that "mix of Dutch/German" was spoken all the way to the Baltic countries...([url]https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danswijk[/url] or https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danswijk is the old Dutch name for Danzig/Gdansk now in Poland). 

Flanders complicated matters even more for German/nazi ideas of "including the Netherlands into Germany"...There were ideas of rejoining Flanders with NL ..."Dietsland" next to "Deutschland/Germany"...but certainly NOT as part of Germany ! 

In history NL and Germany may have had the same rulers...from the Romans, Charles the great [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlemagne[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlemagne , Napoleon..In many ways NL and Germany may have a lot in common...but it did NOT make "the Dutch German"...

How "Russian" are Ukrainians ? 

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukraine[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukraine ;

During the Middle Ages, Ukraine was the site of early Slavic expansion and the area later became a key centre of East Slavic culture under the state of Kievan Rus', which emerged in the 9th century. The state eventually disintegrated into rival regional powers and was ultimately destroyed by the Mongol invasions of the 13th century. 

The area was then contested, divided, and ruled by a variety of external powers for the next 600 years, including the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Austrian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the Tsardom of Russia. The Cossack Hetmanate emerged in central Ukraine in the 17th century marked on maps as "Ukraine, land of the Cossacks", but was partitioned between Russia and Poland, and ultimately absorbed by the Russian EmpireUkrainian nationalism developed and, following the Russian Revolution in 1917, the short-lived Ukrainian People's Republic was formed. 

The Bolsheviks consolidated control over much of the former empire and established the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, which became a constituent republic of the Soviet Union when it was formed in 1922. 

In the early 1930s, millions of Ukrainians died in the Holodomor, a human-made famine

The German occupation during World War II in Ukraine was devastating, with 7 million Ukrainian civilians killed, including most Ukrainian Jews.

DJ the last 120 years, World War 1/Civil war(s), Holodomor, nazi-occupation may have killed most "Ukrainians"...Looking at history they have (at best) a "love-hate relation" with neighbours; Russia, Türkiye, Poland...After 1945 "Ukraine borders moved west" taking over land of former nazi-allies like Hungary and Romania...

Ukraine "nationalism" goes back to (at least) the 19th century...

So...my view-Russia HAS TO ACCEPT a Ukraine State...Russia also accepted an Ukraine...NATO did NOT respect the position Ukraine was in...trying to move east...

-

"Palestine" also has its own history...repression first by Ottoman-Turks, after World War One by the British and French ...in many ways a "mix" [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philistines[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philistines going back very far in history;

The Philistines (HebrewפְּלִשְׁתִּיםromanizedPəlīštīmLXXKoinē GreekΦυλιστιείμromanized: PhulistieímLatinPhilistaei) were an ancient people who lived on the south coast of Canaan during the Iron Age in a confederation of city-states generally referred to as Philistia.

The Philistines originated as an immigrant group from the Aegean that settled in Canaan circa 1175 BC during the Late Bronze Age collapse. Over time, they gradually assimilated elements of the indigenous Levantine Semitic societies while preserving their own unique culture.[1]

DJ, [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinians#Origins[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinians#Origins ;

The origins of Palestinians are complex and diverse. The region was not originally Arab – its Arabization was a consequence of the gradual inclusion of Palestine within the rapidly expanding Islamic Caliphates established by Arabian tribes and their local allies. Like in other "Arabized" Arab nations, the Arab identity of Palestinians, largely based on linguistic and cultural affiliation, is independent of the existence of any actual Arabian origins.[92]

so...another conflict going back maybe thousends of years...(Like the Irish, Kurdish conflicts...). A lot of people identifying themselves as "Jewish" do NOT agree with zionism/USrael...Archeological findings -in part- are "hijacked" as "proof" for a right for "israel" on basis of history.."Jewish" groups have lived in the area for thousends of years...however -my view- this does NOT provide a basis for an exclusive "jewish" state...

------

"Nationalism" is a form of "self-identification" based on -in fact- history (expressing in language, religion etc)...Even if one accepts a "nation" finding the "most fitting borders" may be a second problem..."Kurdistan" is in an oil rich West Asia...so western interest-following Turkish and religious interests-made a "Kurdistan" very difficult...

There will be both a Ukraine and Palestine...we are now "in the process of finding the most fitting borders"...

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

DJ, In 2026 the USA may celebrate 250 years as a US-country...in human history 250 years is almost nothing...Can the US "elite" understand "history" ? Is the US -like "israel" a "settler state"-ignoring most of the history of the region because it would make clear the present population -in many ways- are "visitors not knowing how to behave"? 

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apologies_to_Indigenous_peoples[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apologies_to_Indigenous_peoples ;

During the era of colonization, European empires colonized territories inhabited by Indigenous peoples and the colonies created new countries that would contain Indigenous peoples within their new political borders.[5] In such processes, there were a series of atrocious crimes against Indigenous populations. Given that the dominant group has held political and economic power, these facts had not been officially investigated and recognized.[9][10]

During colonialism, many Western officials have expressed concerns, enacted laws to protect Indigenous peoples, and have punished a few colonial agents for some of their colonial atrocities.[11] Widely known examples are the Laws of Burgos and the New Laws in the Spanish Empire, which were poorly implemented.[12] On occasion, some Indigenous government agencies committed atrocities, as is the case of the Indian Protection Service in Brazil as described in the Figueiredo Report,[13][14] or the Office of Indigenous Affairs in the United States, who acknowledged its systemic shortcomings.[15]

Indigenous groups have publicly requested apologies from a number of states and Christian churches for their historical or contemporary role in atrocities committed against Indigenous peoples.[16][17][18] No country has ever voluntarily acknowledged committing genocide.[19]

In 2023 Indigenous leaders from Antigua and Barbuda, Aotearoa (New Zealand), Australia, the Bahamas, Belize, Canada, Grenada, Jamaica, Papua New Guinea, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines issued an open letter. The signed letter requests King Charles III to acknowledge at his coronation the "horrific impacts" of colonization.[20][21][22]

DJ, Who "has a right to a land "?  If you kill all/most of the "original" population-does that give "any rights"...? 

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuit[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuit ;

Greenland51,479 (2023)[2]
United States16,581 (2010)[3]
Denmark17,067 (2023)
Russia125

DJ, would an "Inuit-state" result in Greenland and "a lot of Canada/Alaska" being united-no longer "western"? 

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-determination[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-determination turns out to be very complex...

"Kosovar-Albanians" have a lot more children then Serbs have in Kosovo...so: Kosovo has to become its own country ? Join NATO/EU ? 

If it did NOT want to join both NATO and EU there may be no support for a "Kosovo"....Do "Europeans" have ANY rights-based on history-in most of Asia, Australia, the America's ?  Or do we "steal"the rights ? "How to do the right thing" ? 

-----

Facing very major global problems on climate, health, refugees,organizations like the WHO, IPCC, UNHCR did get a role...A growing number of problems can NOT be solved by a/a few countries...

International rules were supposed to limit the risks of war. However those "rules have eroded"..."we" may have forgotten WHY those rules were made...

Many countries once had good public healthcare-based on health disasters before that...Housing rules were made to avoid slumps "liberalism" created...

-------

Another "historical division" is "Urban-Rural" conflict. 

Ancient Greek history is based on "polis" [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polis[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polis ...Athens, Sparta the most well known "poleis"...

Today a lot of "power" is concentrated in [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolis[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolis with over half of the global population living in cities-"new in human history"....

"City-Folks" vote different, have cultural differences etc. compared to "Country Folk"...

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_cities#List[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_cities#List the ten largest cities in the world are most Asian...Sao Paulo (#4), Mexico City (#5), Cairo (#6) excepted...(New York=#11 in this list, London #37...however economic power not that long ago may have had London-UK as a base...) 

----

So "nationalism" could (with all respect)  be balanced both with internationalism and looking at urban"power"...

There once was a suggestion of an EU "of the regions" more than of countries...It may have prevented a Brexit...help to find a way for regions like Catalunya, Basque-country, the Irish-conflict or Scotland...

So can "diversification of power" prevent more conflicts or would it only result in onther/new conflicts ? 

Can we agree on what matters need an international answer (UN etc), on what matters should be regional or even at city/urban region level ?  Are "countries" always are the "best answer" to govern ? 

-----

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hague_Conventions_of_1899_and_1907[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hague_Conventions_of_1899_and_1907 ;

The Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907 are a series of international treaties and declarations negotiated at two international peace conferences at The Hague in the Netherlands. Along with the Geneva Conventions, the Hague Conventions were among the first formal statements of the laws of war and war crimes in the body of secular international law. A third conference was planned for 1914 and later rescheduled for 1915, but it did not take place because of the start of World War I.

DJ...basic idea was to make wars illegal...(nice idea...). 

One may claim nuclear weapons "did more for world peace" than talks did...(DJ-I don't know if that is correct...but as an idea...)

Nuclear weapons may now have "moved" in "such a variety" and number of nuclear weapon countries deterrence is not that effective...Lots of other weapons may "do the same amount of damage" nuclear weapons (once) provided...

The Ukraine war resulted-very likely-over 0,6 million people killed...15 million people becoming refugee...but it did not stop that war...

In Gaza starvation and even denying drinkable water is part of the NATO/Usrael strategy to "solve" the "Palestinian question"...Killing tens-of-thousends an d take the land is not new in history...However if we-as humans- claim to believe in basic rights for all humans genocide should not have any room...

Somehow both wars and genocides however seem to be the "dark side" of humanity...one can only find answers to that problem if one is willing to face it...

Here in NL [url]https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joodse_Raad_voor_Amsterdam[/url] or https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joodse_Raad_voor_Amsterdam the role of the "Jewish Council" during nazi-occupation is being discussed;

-DJ, [url]https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/jewish-councils-judenraete[/url] or https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/jewish-councils-judenraete ;

was part of the nazi-plan to "solve the Jewish question"....

My view-for NL;

-The Jewish Council may have delayed transports of "Jews" -in that way saved (maybe even thousends) of lives...

-It was the nazi's that did the killing ! The "Jewish groups" had to deal with a criminal government...

-Here in NL a major problem was public administration also mentioned religion per adres...so the nazi's did use that administration to "round up" (religious) Jews

-Quite a lot of German "Jews" escaped the concentration/deathcamps because they were NOT (yet) in the administration (Anne Frank and her family-German by birth-never had Dutch nationality-but ended up in public administration...maybe betrayed...died-very likely- of typhus in Bergen Belsen early 1945). 

-It was the nazi/German "rules" defining who was "Jewish"...so not based (only) on religion...

Maybe [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust is unique in its "industrialization" of mass murder...A lot of other 20th century mass murders may have been less organized (Cambodia/Red Kmehr, Ruanda). 

Both in wars and genocide to many people believe it is okay to kill fellow humans...for whatever reasons...

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

This forum once was named "Avian Flu Talk" (now "Pandemic Talk") so let me link "war" with [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_poultry_slaughtering_companies_in_Europe[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_poultry_slaughtering_companies_in_Europe ;

The list of largest poultry slaughtering companies in Europe shows the largest companies of the poultry industry in Europe.

DJ, this 2021 list has at #3; [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PrJSC_MHP[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PrJSC_MHP; The PrJSC MHP (UkrainianПрАТ МХП; PrJSC «MHP»[1]) is a leading international food & agrotech company with headquarters in Kyiv, Ukraine

So this Kiev/Ukraine based company was "processing/killing" 492 million birds in 2021...

[url]https://arnika.org/en/hotspots/ukraine/vinnytsia-region[/url] or https://arnika.org/en/hotspots/ukraine/vinnytsia-region ;

In the Vinnytsia region, in a very small area around the town of Ladyzhyn, there are 12 poultry rearing facilities, three are being constructed, and six more are under preparation. Each of them consists of 38 chicken houses; in each poultry rearing facility

there are about one million chickens. If we consider the number of chickens, together with all the connected facilities and fields used for growing food for the chickens, altogether it imposes an enormous strain on the whole region.

DJ...so H5N1 in Ukraine...[url]https://twitter.com/thijskuiken/status/1637780720637685760[/url] or https://twitter.com/thijskuiken/status/1637780720637685760 ;

"An outbreak of bird flu [highly pathogenic avian influenza] occurred in poultry in the village Velyka Oleksandrivka, Ukraine. 18 people have been hospitalized, 2 of whom have died." *Warning*: This is a war area & report is by Tass, so could be disinformation. More info, anyone?

-

. received responses from both the FAO and a representative of the Ukrainian government. Both confirmed there are *no* reported cases of avian #influenza in humans or poultry in the Kherson area, #Ukraine, as was alleged in the TASS story.

DJ, latest confirmed cases go back to 2021...After that it became "state secret"....

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyiv#Environment[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyiv#Environment ;

Climate

Kyiv has a warm-summer humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb).[62] The warmest months are June, July, and August, with mean temperatures of 13.8 to 24.8 °C (56.8 to 76.6 °F). The coldest are December, January, and February, with mean temperatures of −4.6 to −1.1 °C (23.7 to 30.0 °F). The highest ever temperature recorded in the city was 39.4 °C (102.9 °F) on 30 July 1936.[63][64]

The coldest temperature ever recorded in the city was −32.9 °C (−27.2 °F) on 11 January 1951.[63][64] Snow cover usually lies from mid-November to the end of March, with the frost-free period lasting 180 days on average, but surpassing 200 days in some years.[28]

DJ, if a health crisis does not stop the Ukraine "war/insanity" will heat/drought stop this madness ? When do we see the first major wildfires in Ukraine ? 

Partisan Activity Rising in Kharkov and Odessa Today we've received confirmation of partisan activity within both historically Russian cities. In Odessa partisans destroyed an energy facility used to supply the Ukrainian military. In Kharkov partisans blew up the car of Ukrainian nationalist batallion, Kharkovshchina, and set fire to their command post. http://t.me/Slavyangrad | Nagasaki Nightmare

After NApoleon, NAzi's now NAto occupation...No doubt (pro)Russian special forces also active in Ukraine (and "the west").

NL "NOS news" reported "shelling" at [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaporizhzhia_Nuclear_Power_Plant[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaporizhzhia_Nuclear_Power_Plant ...this time at least this "news" did not claim the Russians were shooting at themselves...Of course they "ignored" it was Ukraine/NATO shelling at a nuclear powerplant-again-with western weapons...

Also "NL NOS news" -6 months after october 7 Hamas terrorism about a 1,000 demonstrators in Amsterdam calling for the release of hostages...waving "israel" flags..

Like most western media NO questions on how "israel" security could fail on october 7...Why "israel" killed over a 1,000 "israeli's" "trying to also kill terrorists"...Why use tanks and helicopters to release hostages ? 

Last week we had a "hostage situation" here in NL [url]https://www.dutchnews.nl/2024/03/ede-hostage-taking-ends-as-man-gives-himself-up-to-police/[/url] or https://www.dutchnews.nl/2024/03/ede-hostage-taking-ends-as-man-gives-himself-up-to-police/ ...

If NL police had reacted the same way as "israel security" did on october 7 than the bar was blown up and the hostage taker and four hostages would be dead...

But "no questions"...UKraine and USrael "defending western democrazy and freedom"...with both zelensky and netanyahu refusing new elections to stay out of prison for corruprtion...

---------

Even today here in NL Germans visiting Rotterdam are told "not to bomb the city" ...because of the bombing of Rotterdam may 14-1940 by Germany...German tourists "are welcome as long as they also leave"....The 1990 German reunification was seen with "mixed feelings" in most of Europe...Germany dominating Europe did bring "problems/war" in the past...

Can one "link" German -1990- reunification with Brexit ? The Ukraine-war ? 

A lot of historians by now admit-even with no treaty- Russia could have expected NATO "to limit itself"....The 2008 Bucharest-Romania NATO top "inviting" Ukraine and Georgia to join NATO was "unwise"....

Around 1990/end of Soviet Union there also were talks on [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaliningrad[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaliningrad becoming German again...Russia/Soviet Union in return would not have to pay debts to Germany...

Oppenheimer’s legacy – Portents of a nuclear war on a burning planet



The MADNESS of NUCLEAR and CLIMATE HORROR
by Andrew Glikson

The 24-hour media news cycle clouds the minds of people, perpetrators and hapless victims alike, to the future dimension, whether that of future generations or of the natural world itself.
During the 20-21ˢᵗ centuries, as mean global temperature keeps rising toward 4°C, a failed brain neuron or a damaged computer chip can trigger a nuclear catastrophe, while the 24-hour media news cycle can blind humanity to the future. The conditions emerge where the world is largely taken over by the banality of evil, insane mass murders, fake news and artificial intelligence, lately camouflaged by glitzy Oscar-winning orgies attended by billionaires and celebrity actors, such as at the launch of the film Oppenheimer, where the 140 thousand incinerated victims and hibakusha survivors of the Hiroshima atomic bomb are completely ignored

The film, populated by nuclear scientists, decorated military officers and replete with romantic affairs, makes little reference to the looming road to a nuclear abyss herald by the clock of the atomic scientists. Thus “Oppenheimer does little to challenge the long history of glorifying the work of white men, and risks perpetuating the persistent, often reductive, portrayals of Japanese victims in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The world arsenal of 12,500 nuclear warheads, enough to terminate many advanced species on Earth, is hardly mentioned in the film, dominated by the world of good vs evil proclaimed by priests of god’s chosen nations, while the doomsday machine on which civilization spends $trillions out of the mouth of starving children.

It is a statistical impossibility that this arsenal may not be triggered, at least in part, by accident or design, such as has nearly-happened. The bloodsheds in Ukraine herald the onset of a rules-free world where anything is allowable, ultimately toward global death in the name of freedom.

Perched in front of fluorescent screens, oblivious to the unthinkable, the collective is mesmerized by the obscene untruths of the global media, portraying tribal massacres alternating with funeral insurance advertisements, national hubris and vacuous amusement.

How long would it take, if ever, for people to learn that the last thing politicians would tell them is the entire truth, even if they are aware of it.

Sane voices such as of Noam Chomsky and John Pilger are no longer heard.

It is not clear to what extent it worries too many people that the oncoming climate catastrophe and mass extinction of species have become statistically inevitable, as the idea that near -200,000 years of evolution may be eliminated belongs to the unthinkable. The idea may hardly enter into the minds of most decision makers, politicians and strategists.

The 24-hour media news cycle renders peoples’ minds oblivious to the future, whether of their offspring or of the natural world itself.

The biggest lie, conscious or unconscious, used by authorities which are supposed to protect life, is when they use the term “Future” as they repeatedly do, the very future they are betraying by what they are doing and by what they currently are not.

DJ, Oppenheimers legacy also is "science tunnelvision"...In "climate collapse" "we" raised the "base line" to 1850-1900 and go for a 10-year average to fool ourselves we keep temperature rise under 1,5C...when reality/Copernicus [url]https://climate.copernicus.eu/surface-air-temperature-february-2024#[/url] or https://climate.copernicus.eu/surface-air-temperature-february-2024# is telling us we are already above 2C "pre-industrial"....

Weapons are there to be used...Nuclear weapons are there to be used ! If we do not want to use nuclear weapons get rid of them !

Ecuadorian police forcibly broke into the Mexican embassy in Quito on night Friday and arrested Ecuadorian former Vice President Jorge Glas.


At the Friday night the Ecuadorian police assaulted the Mexican Embassy in Quito, the objetive was to arrest the former vice-president Jorge Glas, who is accused for the judiciary authorities of alleged corruption in the Odebrecht Case. The event resulted in the immediate breakdown of diplomatic relations between the two Latin American nations.

DJ, Just like the USrael bombing of the Iran-embassy in Damascus, or the 1999 NATO bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade/Serbia..."western rules dased order" is chaos....Very likely Jorge Glas was part of an Equador government NOT following US orders...

--------

Again...BRICS extra can not talk serious with any "western partner"...The "west" only makes agreements to break agreements....The "west" killed diplomacy !

The very bad news may be BRICS-extra "has to create a basis for western realism"....

An Iran direct reaction attacking targets inside "USrael" would be "welcomed" by netanyahu..."the west/NATO" would come to "USrael defense"....The point is Russia may "do the job" for Iran....So "NATO defending USrael democrazy" would mean open war with not only Russia and Iran...but "the rest/90%" of the globe...

NATO is fighting for the US$, western exploitation and slavery...500 years of "bad conduct" with apologies just as a show...because "western wealth" is based on stealing and exploiting, plunder....genocide...

The rest of the world-via BRICS+- now has a better alternative...only "the west" rather blows up the planet than change its way....

Insanity rules !

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

DJ, One may claim there are three major global problems urgently in need of global answers;

-Climate

-Pandemics

-War...

War is the global problem we could/should stop NOW !

[url]https://www.ecchr.eu/en/case/klimawandel-vor-dem-europaeischen-gerichtshof-fuer-menschenrechte/[/url] or https://www.ecchr.eu/en/case/klimawandel-vor-dem-europaeischen-gerichtshof-fuer-menschenrechte/ 

Governments worldwide are failing to do what is necessary to counteract climate change. Through their inaction, they violate human rights, as well as obstruct the chances of ensuring a future that is worth living for present and future generations on earth. More and more people around the globe – especially those most at risk, including the young and the elderly – are taking these governments to court. 


For the first time, the European Court of Human Rights is faced with the responsibility of holding European states accountable for violating human rights by not taking sufficient measures to combat climate change.  

DJ, Citizens do seek legal action to stop weapon-export. The ICJ did make clear "israel" is committing genocide in Gaza...Like with climate the outcome of legal action does "order governments to do more" but -in fact- could become empty words...

In the US "politics" is trying to end financing the Ukraine war...biden-seeking reelection-has to either end wars or win wars...

-

Judge Napolitano had several video's with among the questions; Is "asymetrical warfare" by the US/NATO another word for terrorism ? 

How big is the chance of "false flags"...[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_risk_during_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine#[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_risk_during_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine# Western propaganda claiming "Putin may go nuclear" however Russia is winning in Ukraine...

Assad was winning in Syria-still "the west" claimed he used gas/chemical weapons against western backed "moderate terrorists" (renamed alquaeida/IS). h.clinton may have ordered chemical weapons to be transported from Libya to Syria...blame Assad/Putin...

Ray McGovern mentioned NY-times reported "Russia using gas-may use nukes"...Western propaganda still in denial Ukraine has lost this war...So...is the "west" preparing for further escalations ? 

Military Summary keeps repeating Russia could start an offensive. DJ-Goal of that offensive may be "finishing Ukraine" to end this war...

Iran’s permanent representative to the United Nations urges that the Israeli regime get its comeuppance for afflicting the entire region with deadly predicaments.

Israel shall be punished for all its international wrongdoings, which has put the whole region on fire,” Amir Saeid Iravani told a UN General Assembly meeting on Palestine on Monday.

The envoy singled out the regime’s ongoing genocidal war against the Gaza Strip, which has killed upwards of 33,200 Palestinians, mostly women and children, since its onset on October 7 last year.

“This assault is without precedent in modern history in the scale and pace of killing of children, of UN humanitarian and medical teams, of journalists…,” he said.

The remarks came a day after the United Nations Palestinian refugee agency, UNRWA’s Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini said the Israeli war had set a new record in terms of killing minors, paramedics, and journalists.

DJ, "nazi-NATO" supporting genocides on Russian civilians, Palestinians...This evening/tomorrow morning (april 9-10) Ramadan is ending. 

DJ, by now Russia and Iran blame "the west" (CIA-MI6) for recent acts of terrorism (Moscow, Damascus). US trying to "push/punish" China for "supporting Russia". 

BRICS-extra (a.o. including Syria, Iraq) will have come to the conclusion NATO is attacking them...

---------

DJ, Again...sad to see the "west" is still NOT willing to go for real talks...NATO is an instrument to "enslave" the rest of the world...BRICS-extra becoming more and more a reaction to western arrogance and agression...

A "fist on the table" maybe will wake up "the west"...We need new "leaders" trying to get a way out of this crisis-not pushing us deeper in it...Peace, diplomacy are NOT "dirty words"...Present western leaders seem to be blind and in a tunnelvision...

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forensic_psychiatry[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forensic_psychiatry ;

Forensic psychiatry is a subspeciality of psychiatry and is related to criminology.[1] It encompasses the interface between law and psychiatry. According to the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law, it is defined as "a subspecialty of psychiatry in which scientific and clinical expertise is applied in legal contexts involving civil, criminal, correctional, regulatory, or legislative matters, and in specialized clinical consultations in areas such as risk assessment or employment.[2]

" A forensic psychiatrist provides services – such as determination of competency to stand trial – to a court of law to facilitate the adjudicative process and provide treatment, such as medications and psychotherapy, to criminals.

DJ, Investing 100 billion US$ in wars because "80% would go back to the US economy" is criminal under international law...You can NOT "boost your own economy" by starting/spreading wars in other countries...

That is a "nazi-style" of thinking...

[url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXxaBZ01DlM[/url] or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXxaBZ01DlM The Duran;

Macron teams up with Cameron for Russia conflict

DJ, three scenario's;

-(Very limited) UK/French troops send into Ukraine destroyed-US stays out...

-UK/French troops destroyed-US comes to hel its "allies" (defending democrazy, western values-or lack of it.. etc).

-Russia ignores the UK/France.

Maybe as background;

-Both UK and France have limited nuclear weapons

-Both UK and France see their "semi-colonies" now moving to BRICS+

Algeria, once French may join BRICS+. Egypt, Nigeria-once UK colony already in/soon may be BRICS+...

Again, western media "act" as if Ukraine and Palestine are not connected-if there is a link it is "Russian agression" spreading dictatorship...My view; The basic conflict is "the west against the rest"....10% west-against 90% of global population "rest"...

With BRICS+ more and more also a.o. including OPEC+...Global trade -not only for energy but for ALL trade- moving away from western currencies...

My view; real de-colonization...Earlier "decolonization" did see the European elite replaced by a "local" elite...but trade-wise still western companies making large profits going to Europe...

The BRICS+ alternative has a very major role for former colonies and "third world" countries...trying to avoid new forms of colonial rule...

DJ-For that matter there is an urge for BRICS+ to grow fast...China economy may become a burden for BRICS+...So in october in Kazan/Russia BRICS+ may welcome 10 new members ? 

BRICS+ growth has to be "strategic" so energy producers like Algeria, Kazachstan, Nigeria, Indonesia, Venezuela, Mexico may be "top of the list"...Nicaragua may offer an oppertunity for a new canal linking the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean...

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_Canal#Competition[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_Canal#Competition ;

The canal faces increasing competition from other quarters. Because canal tolls have risen as ships have become larger, some critics[115] have suggested that the Suez Canal is now a viable alternative for cargo between Asia and the US East Coast.[116] The Panama Canal, however, continues to serve more than 144 of the world's trade routes and the majority of canal traffic comes from the "all-water route" from Asia to the US East and Gulf Coasts.[117]

An alternative route through Nicaragua and Lake Nicaragua has been proposed. On June 15, 2013, Nicaragua awarded the Hong Kong-based HKND Group a 50-year concession to develop a canal through the country.[118] In February 2018, analysts widely viewed the project as defunct,[119][120][121] though the head of the project insisted work was on-going. In April 2018 HKND Group closed its offices, leaving no forwarding address or telephone numbers to be reached.[122]

The increasing rate of melting of ice in the Arctic Ocean has led to speculation that the Northwest Passage or Arctic Bridge may become viable for commercial shipping.

DJ...The Panama Canal-alternative via Nicaragua may be of limited value for BRICS+. The main focus of BRICS+ will be EurAsia-Africa...

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_world#Shares_of_world_population,_AD_1%E2%80%931998_(%_of_world_total)[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_world#Shares_of_world_population,_AD_1%E2%80%931998_(%_of_world_total) 

In 1998 Asia had 57,4% of the global population, Europe 13,5%, Africa 12,9% = 83,8% of the global population in 1998 lived in EurAsia or Africa...Latin America had 8,6% of global population (92,4% total) ...By now Asian and African population will be even larger...Russia also may see its population increasing...(latest indications-after years of population decrease).

Update: Iranian authorities issued a NOTAM (A1033/24 NOTAMN) with DLY (Daily) as date. CREATED: 08 Apr 2024 17:08:00 Missiles Launch expected any time in the area.

-

🇮🇷 Iranian sources have denied allegations that they will not respond if a ceasefire in Gaza is achieved, stating they will respond regardless.

-

Torah Jews held a meeting with Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian. 🇮🇷 The Iranian government made a statement: "We are not against the Jews, we are fighting against the actions of the Zionist regime." The enemy of the Jews is not Iran, the enemy of the Jews is the Israeli Zionist regime.

DJ, part of zionist propaganda is to claim "israel" represents "all Jews"...it does NOT ! Again-most people identifying themselves as "Jewish" (number put at 14-20 million worldwide) do NOT live in "israel" or agree with "zionism"....

President Jimmy Carter accuses Israel of apartheid (2007)

DJ, A "Jewish state" may NOT be "the best answer" to anti-semitism....it could end up worsening problems....

My view; A multi-culture "israel" could offer perspectives for West Asia...keeping "israel" Jewish (a.o. deporting non-Jewish foreign workers, "home-lands" for Palestinians-like South Africa had under apartheid...Black South Africans denied South African nationality...) goes against international law...

The main goal of the west in 1948 was NOT to offer Jews a safe place in their "own" country but to use "israel" to control the Middle East-North Africa (MENA) region...

--------

The three global problems; climate, pandemics, wars are interlinked...wars and infectious diseases can result in pandemics..."Nuclear war = global warming" to the extreme...

So limiting climate, pandemic risks MEANS stop wars ! It would at least bring us a step further...(in the right direction)...

Pandemics often CAN be controlled if we make it a priority...At present "only profits/money matters" and that way of thinking is suicidal....

Wars-at present-worsen dramatically climate problems...further escalation of wars means more climate/enviromental problems but also climate goals will be ignored even more...

"Green parties" promoting war are "army-green" ...do not care about climate...only about their ego's....

If we want to stop destroying "our" planet we HAVE to stop destroying our planet...because "WE" humans are doing the damage...

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

BEIJING, April 9. /TASS/. Russia and China agreed to engage on Eurasian security with allies and follow a policy of "dual opposition" to the West’s "dual deterrence," Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at a news conference following talks in Beijing with his Chinese counterpart, Wang Yi.

According to the two top diplomats, Moscow and Beijing will join forces to counter attempts to slow down the natural course of history while seeking a way to resolve the Ukraine crisis, taking into account Russia’s interests. Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping plan to hold at least two bilateral meetings this year, Lavrov said.

TASS has summarized Lavrov and Wang’s main points.

Russia-China relations

Putin and Xi are scheduled to meet on the sidelines of a Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in June and a BRICS summit in October, Lavrov announced, adding that the two leaders may also hold other meetings, too, "to maintain regular political dialogue."


According to Lavrov, relations between Moscow and Beijing are as good as ever thanks to the two leaders’ diplomacy.

--

Eurasian security

Moscow and Beijing agreed to engage on Eurasian security "with the participation of allies," Lavrov said.

The two diplomats condemned the West’s attempts "to destroy the existing security architecture" in the Asia-Pacific. Wang cautioned NATO against "stretching its hands to our common home." "Any remarks or deeds that cause division or add up to confrontation are not welcome in the Asia-Pacific, and they have no future," the Chinese foreign minister emphasized.

DJ,Russia and China further integrating military cooperation-no doubt with a.o. Iran, Syria as ally.

[url]https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2024/04/09/723349/Beijing-and-Moscow-to--strengthen-strategic-cooperation--focusing-on-bolstering-diplomatic-ties-[/url] or https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2024/04/09/723349/Beijing-and-Moscow-to--strengthen-strategic-cooperation--focusing-on-bolstering-diplomatic-ties- ;

China and Russia have significantly strengthened their economic cooperation and diplomatic ties in recent years, with their strategic partnership growing even closer following the Ukraine conflict.

"Foreign Minister Lavrov and I had an in-depth communication about several international and regional hotspot issues... including the Ukraine and Palestine-Israel conflicts," Wang emphasized.

Israel has killed more civilians in 6 months than ISIS has killed in 11 years.

By shelling the largest NPP in Europe the regime in Kiev is basically blackmailing Europe.. Send me more money or we cause a catastrophe. The desperation is very high in the Bandera Nazi Fan Club. Project Ukraine is getting out of hand - and the clowns in the West are too weak to tame them.

A senior commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says the only way to put an end to the Israeli regime and its atrocities in the region is for the armies of Muslim countries to unite.

“The only way to fight the Zionists is through the formation of an Islamic power and a coalition of Islamic armies,” said commander of the IRGC's Navy Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri in an interview with the Lebanon-based Al Mayadeen TV on Tuesday.

“The solution to removing the corrupt and criminal parasite is the unification of all Muslim nations and their armies. If we were united, we could bring an end to it,” Tangsiri added in the interview.

The remarks come as the Israeli regime continues with a genocidal war on Gaza that has killed nearly 34,000 Palestinians since it began in October.

The war has triggered a united response to Israel and its main ally the United States from resistance groups in Arab countries of the region.

However, the situation escalated last week when the Israeli regime carried out an airstrike on an Iranian consulate in Syria, killing senior IRGC commanders, in what officials said was a desperate reaction to Iran’s support for the Palestinian cause and the Axis of Resistance.

-

Tangsiri said that Iran’s response to the April 1 attack in Damascus would be definite, adding that the country will act when authorities see fit.

“... we do not act impulsively or hastily. We are not the kind of people who turn the other cheek after being hit. At the appropriate time, the relevant officials will deliver a strong blow, God willing,” he said.

“Do you expect me to say what we will do? That is not correct. We are 100% ready for any order that may be issued,” said the IRGC Navy chief.

Tangsiri also said that Iran sees the presence of Israel in countries in the region, including in the United Arab Emirates, as a threat as he insisted that welcoming the Israelis under the pretext of economic cooperation is not acceptable.

“What does it mean for a country to take pride in welcoming Zionists to the region? .. We know full well that they do not come for economic purposes or to establish bilateral relations ...,” he said.

Israel accuses Turkey of violating trade agreements, plans retaliatory measures

Israel Katz also said that he gave instructions "to contact countries and a number of organizations in the United States" on the issue of "stopping investments in Turkey" and "preventing the import of products from Turkey"

TEL AVIV, April 9. /TASS/. Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz has accused Turkey of violating trade agreements with the Jewish state, and the country's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of sacrificing economic interests for the sake of the radical Hamas movement.

"Erdogan is once again sacrificing the economic interests of the people of Turkey to support the Hamas murderers in Gaza. Israel will not submit to violence and extortion, will not tolerate unilateral violations of trade agreements and will take retaliatory measures against Turkey that will harm the Turkish economy," Katz wrote on social network X, commenting on the export restrictions imposed "unilaterally" by the Turkish authorities on Tuesday.

-

Earlier the Turkish Ministry of Trade announced that it would introduce restrictions on the export of 54 items of industrial goods to Israel starting on April 9 until the end of hostilities in Gaza and the creation of conditions for the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid to the enclave. The restrictions will apply to various types of products made from steel, aluminum, paint, electrical cables, aviation fuel, oils, fertilizers, and some types of industrial equipment.


The list of restrictions also includes cement, all types of construction materials made of iron and steel, fittings, fiber optic cables, forklifts, excavators, granite, marble, insulating materials, metalworking equipment, machine tools, bricks and clinker, as well as chemicals used for metal processing.

DJ, the west is NOT sanctioning "israel"...it is weaponizing "israel"..."USrael" did send weapons and fighters to UKraine, bombed airports in Syria-against Russian "interests"...

Ukraine may ultimately have to agree to some kind of compromise with Russia to end the conflict, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said in an interview with the BBC published on April 6, adding that it is up to the West to ensure Kiev achieves an “acceptable result.” Yet, despite Stoltenberg signalling for peace negotiations and with weapons running out, Kiev has once again ruled out speaking with Moscow.

The NATO chief reiterated that the West must support Ukraine in the long term “even if we believe and hope that the war will end in the near future.” He further added that Western countries should invest in Kiev’s defence capabilities to make it more resilient in case of future hostilities. At the same time, he signalled that Ukraine was to choose when and under what conditions to seek peace with Russia.

“Even if we believe and hope that the war will end in the near future, we need to support Ukraine for many years, to build their defences to deter future aggression,” Stoltenberg said, adding that the West’s role is to help Kiev reach a negotiating position that can produce an “acceptable result.”

That said, the alliance leader emphasised that he was not pressuring Kiev for any concessions, adding that “real peace” can only be achieved when “Ukraine prevails.”

Earlier this week, Stoltenberg made a strong appeal for long-term support for Kiev, urging the bloc’s members to “rely less on voluntary contributions and more on NATO commitments.” According to several reports, Stoltenberg proposed a five-year military aid package worth €100 billion to Ukraine. The exact details of the initiative are now under discussion.

DJ, The "west" is running out of weapons to send, UKraine running out of soldiers, the "west" facing increasing debts...

STILL the western -insane-leaders keep pushing for further escalation...against the will of most-soon-of the population no longer willing to (make next generations) pay the price-making war-industry/banksters rich at the cost of thousends per day...

Prof. Jeffrey Sachs: Israeli AI Genocide & the AI Connection to COVID-19

Professor Sachs tackles the controversial use of AI in military strategy. Lavender's lethal calculus exposes a moral crisis. Are we prepared for the implications? 

Moreover, this episode makes a startling connection between the militarization of AI and biotech advancements. 

Professor Sachs suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic might have been the result of secretive research programs, thus highlighting the broader theme of technological advancement outpacing our ability to govern it responsibly. 

This connection underscores the urgent need for a framework within which the common good is prioritized over military and political interests.

DJ, Are countries in a race on AI, BioTech-ignoring risks ???

H5N1: Ground-up chicken waste fed to cattle may be behind bird flu outbreak in US cows Yes, ground-up chicken waste is being fed to herbivorous cattle.

link; [url]https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/science-and-disease/chicken-waste-fed-to-cattle-may-be-behind-bird-flu-outbreak/[/url] or https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/science-and-disease/chicken-waste-fed-to-cattle-may-be-behind-bird-flu-outbreak/ ;

Fears are growing that the H5N1 outbreak among cattle in the United States could have been caused by contaminated animal feed. 

In contrast to Britain and Europe, American farmers are still allowed to feed cattle and other farm animals ground-up waste from other animals including birds.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) now has the safety of that policy under review, a spokesperson said on Tuesday.

Dairy cows across six US states – and at least one farm worker – have become infected with the highly pathogenic virus, which has already killed millions of animals across the globe since 2021.

The farm worker, who is thought to have been exposed via infected cattle in Texas, is only the second recorded human H5N1 case in the US – although 8,000 possible exposures are currently under investigation, according to Dr Joshua Mott, WHO senior advisor on influenza. 

The development is of concern because it allows the virus, which has killed millions of birds and wild mammals around the world, more opportunities to mutate.

DJ...if infected chicken waste was fed to US cows it shows a level of stupidity I simply can no longer understand...Do we WANT World War Three ? Do we WANT H5N1 to get out of control ? 

Unbelievable...I still believe CoViD is a natural "product" -the pandemic outcome of lack of control..."Blaming China/Lab-leak -unproven claims- part of a propaganda war...(like Huawei, TikTok etc...).

TEL AVIV, April 10. /TASS/. Israeli military officials expect Tehran’s response to an attack on Iran’s consulate in Syria after April 12, The Times of Israel online publication said.

Israel estimates that an Iranian response will not come until after the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr, which ends April 12, according to the forecast. The army also thinks that an attack will target military or strategic assets and not civilian sites. The Israeli side is preparing for the possibility of an attack coming from any of a number of proxies, or from Iran itself, as well as the possibility of a multi-pronged assault, The Times of Israel said.

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said earlier that the ministry had completed preparations for a response to any possible scenario that might develop regarding Iran.

In Layman's terms, the Effective Period is From April 10, 2024, at 03:30 AM to April 12, 2024, at 10:30 AM (local time). The launches will occur daily during this window.

If the world takes Iran at it's word, missile launches WILL take place within 55 HOURS.

DJ [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOTAM[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOTAM ;

NOTAM (Notice to Airmen,[1][2] Notice to Air Men,[3] Notice to Airman[4]or Notice to Air Missions[5]) is a notice filed with an aviation authority to alert aircraft pilots of potential hazards along a flight route or at a location that could affect the flight.[6] NOTAMs are notices or advisories that contain information concerning the establishment, conditions or change in any aeronautical facility, service, procedure or hazard, the timely knowledge of which may be essential to personnel and systems concerned with flight operations.[7]

Very likely -if Iran would launch an attack from Iran soil- Iran will use Iraq/Syria airspace-most of it under Iran/Russian control. The US may try to bring down any missiles. 

For that matter artillery/drones from Syria/Lebanon would only face "USrael" counter measures...

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says the Israel regime’s months-long war against Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip shows the evil and wicked nature of the Western civilization.

Ayatollah Khamenei made the remarks during a speech at Imam Khomeini’s Grand Mosalla in the Iranian capital of Tehran on Wednesday after leading the Eid al-Fitr prayers, which marks the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan.

“In this year's events, Western governments exposed the evil nature of Western civilizations. During the last six months in Gaza, the Western governments, themselves, put on display this evil nature before the eyes of the world. Their strength does not match that of the resistance fighters, so they claim the lives of children and the oppressed and killed more than thirty thousand innocent people,” the Leader said.

DJ, Iran is a BRICS+/SCO member, making clear they have a conflict with "all of the west"...

-In UKraine Russian forces keep gaining ground...UKraine running out of both soldiers and weapons. Still UKraine keeps attacking-almost daily-civilian targets in Belgorod-Russia, Donetsk/Eastern UKraine...


"Special forces" can play a very major role behind enemy lines. Logistics, communication often are weakspots.  In history "special forces" also helped organize local resistance and did get info....

Sometimes I think about why all the big accounts on here pumped Javier Milei, a WEF puppet, so hard here on X. Then I remember Argentina has some of the world's largest lithium reserves, needed for Elon's business ventures. 

Coincidentally, he was very enthusiastic about the coups in Bolivia for the same reason. 

Argentina was in danger of turning toward the east and joining China and Russia in BRICS. So now Argentina will plunge into economic despair while her natural resources are wrung out for western corporations and Milei will be a funny character we hear from every once in a while.

DJ, Milei an Argentinian bojo/trump clown ? 

In Latin America elections are "influenced/stolen" by the US -if they get a chance...Would bolsenaro have had any chance in Brazil without trump in the White House ? 

The "west" has been undermining/stealing elections in many countries-sometimes even (partly) helped "organize political parties" to stand for western interests (Thailand, Philippines a.o.) 

For that matter the "crisis" goes much deeper...

Ukrainians are a mere cheap commodity to these savages - "It is extremely good value for money... Almost half of Russia's pre-war military equipment has been destroyed without the loss of a single American life. This is an investment in the United States security"

DJ, In history "outsourcing wars" often was a "good investment"...Many colonial armies did see "unwanted men" fighting far away from their country...

In present/recent proxy wars "the west" could send neo-nazi's, vulnerable young people to fight in Ukraine or join IS(IS)..."social media" used for recruitment...

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

DJ-my far from perfect/non-expert view; 

Iran/BRICS+ ready to strike at USrael/NATO in the MENA (Middle East North Africa) region.

Three sons of Ismail Haniyeh, the political bureau chief of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, have been killed in an Israeli airstrike on a refugee camp in the northern part of the Gaza Strip.

Local media outlets identified the sons as Hazem, Amir and Muhammad.

Haniyeh’s grandchildren were also killed in the strike that targeted a vehicle in al-Shati refugee camp on Wednesday afternoon.

There were no immediate comments from the Israeli military.

Meanwhile, the Yemeni Ansarullah resistance group extended its condolences to Haniyeh.

“These great sacrifices … indeed strengthen the steadfastness of Palestinian people in the face of Israeli arrogance,” Ansarullah spokesman Mohammed Abdul-Salam stated.

On the threatened invasion of the city of Rafah in southern Gaza, Haniyeh said, “We will not submit to the occupying regime’s intimidation, as those who surrender will not be spared.”

Shati is the third-largest refugee camp among the eight in the Gaza Strip, and also one of its most crowded, with thousands of people living in an area of less than half a square kilometer.

Ismail Haniyeh, who now lives in Qatar, is originally from Shati camp.

Yves also says this:

Someone with very strong diplomatic contacts described a specific, major escalation that Israel is primed to make. Would make the Iran embassy strike look like peanuts in terms of ripple effects. Am hoping to get a post from him. It would be hard to think the region does not wind up in a major conflagration if he is correct.

Ominous.

A direct attack on Iran?

Or what else might that major escalation be?

DJ, In lots of ways I totally disagree with the right wing extremist views of HT, however;

may give a "good" impression; 

-Preparing for major war

-US, UK, France in support of "USrael"

-Iran will have been coordinating both with BRICS+ and regional partners. 

So...the question is when the escalation will start NOT if....

A very likely scenario will be both Usrael and Iran dealing with very heavy airstrikes

Syria, Iraq will join Iran, Lebanon/Hezbollah may see USrael invasion

US military in the region can not stay out

Russian forces in the region will be "on high alert"

-------

DJ-I hope to be VERY WRONG on this...There may be some "diplomacy" going on-to at least limit the bloodbath...
