THIS IS HOW I FIND OUT WE'RE AT WAR WITH IRAN


Fucking, Tucker Carlson, just did some of the best journalism I've ever seen by asking simple questions. He's still a massive piece of shit but...god damn. Gotta respect this.

It's still easier to deal with them than with Trump I think. that said, almost all of EU leaders are proto-fascists. They feel inspired by Trump because they see an easy way to keep the power for themselves and they are greedy. They'd sell their kids for a minute of power and a gold coin.
That said, EU is really close to follow the US faith. They are now starting to do roundups on immigrants amongst others liberty infringements and carefully destroying the rule of law.



Completely different topic for once :

Venetian beads dated before Colombus "discovered" America were found in Alaska... the theory is that they got here following a continental route and then crossed from Siberia to Alaska.



The Europeans presented America like a new found land so they could unscrupulously exploit, evangelize and colonize.
Fact is that America always has been linked to Eurasia, and I'm not talking Vikings from the tenth century, but Siberian people.
Again, Europeans have written history at their own advantage...

When everyone was looking at Gaza :

Settlers, fully aware that the IDF has been ordered to stand down, are methodically erecting outposts beside Palestinian villages and carrying out daily pogroms until residents pick up and leave—at least sixty communities have been expelled since October 7. On the rare occasions the IDF does show up, they’re more likely to arrest the victims.

Now that everyone is looking at Iran :

An IDF tank fired one shot over Gaza civilians trying to get food at an aid site. 59 dead.




Mods, I'm sorry for the double post but this I think this is different enough to split into two posts.

Hmmmmm. I wonder if there's a term for a country keeping people Apart based on race or religion as they attempt to Hide from missile bombardments

‘Not for you’: Israeli shelters exclude Palestinians as bombs rain down

Shelters are a lifeline in Israel from Iranian attacks, but Palestinian citizens of the country have been locked out.

Apparently, poor Jews have also been excluded from the shelters...

Jews from poorer areas were also turned away. It was only for the ‘new residents’ — those in the modern buildings, mostly middle-class Jewish families.

To be clear, "new residents" are people that were rich enough to be able to leave all they had in Europe or the US (mostly) and start a new life in Israel.

Most Jewish living here prior to the creation of Israel are poorer than the "new residents" and most of them are anti-zionists, like the Ashkenazi Haredi Jews of Mea Shearim.

That's pretty common in fascist countries. But I would bet a big percentage of those poor people are so-called "Mizrahi Jews". As in ethnic Arabs, Africans, or Iranians who happen to be Jewish. They have faced massive amounts of discrimination since Israel's founding.

Funny enough, some of the most insane fascists in Israel are also Mizrahi. Like this fucking terrorist.


Ben Gvir is their current National Security minister. He's also the leader of the (I shit you not) "Jewish Power Party".

This dude's a massive racist piece of shit when talking about Palestinians or other Arabs. He's literally Iraqi!

My concern, perhaps unfounded, is that Iran would share some of their nuclear weapons with bad players such as Hamas etal.

I think what you are describing is the premise of a "Dirty Bomb". If Iran had one how sophisticated are their ICBM capabilities to deliver?

I love that we're blowing billions of tax dollars on this stupid boondoggle while closing rural hospitals and kicking people off healthcare.

By the way the reason this keeps happening is Elon Musk, a moron, wanted to max out the carry capacity beyond what the actual engineers were comfortable with. Because he has this delusion that he's going to move a million humans to Mars. To accomplish this, the body material is lighter and, apparently, not structurally sound.

I love that in this racist ass country, the first Muslim candidate for NYC Mayor gets called a terrorist constantly by every reporter in the city. Most of whom are Liberals, btw. But the disgusting sex criminal Andrew Cuomo doesn't a single fucking question about this:


Netanyahu is a wanted war criminal who is responsible for a mass murder campaign that has mostly killed children. Why is Andrew Cuomo working for an international terrorist??

He is losing it.

Wonderful news. But his treatment is one of the most depraved things I've ever seen this government do.


It's so funny that the entire deep state is calling Zohran a pie in the sky socialist for saying things like NYC should have free busses. The podunk college town I went to school in had free busses for everyone.



If the Dummyrats succeed at ratfucking Zohran, which I think they will, that party is as dead! As dead as disco. Any functional party would look at a superstar like Zohran and get behind him.

At this exact moment moment in history, the Demoncratic Party is focused on preventing Mamdani from becoming mayor of NYC, kicking David Hogg out of the party, and going to war with Iran



LOL we are an irredeemably evil country. @Radwin Bodnic out of curiosity, what happened to collaborators like Hakeem here in the Vichy government after the war? Did they live happily ever after?

most of them have been wildly purged I think. Probably around 10000 collaborators have been executed (legally or illegally). Which is low regarding how much damage they've done... a lot of them have been stripped from their possessions and civil rights. There have been a lot of abuse though. Some executions were disguised personal griefs and / or property convetousness.

All in all it has been rather moderate because De Gaule govt. prioritized national reunification over retaliation. Which is fine I think.

The real issue is that fascists ideas has perdured through these times and a lot of actual fascists movements are identifying themselves to the nazis or to the collaboration.

‘Magic Tree House’ Author, ‘Calvin and Hobbes’ among hundreds of Tennessee book bans - PEN America

The removals in Tennessee are the result of a growing political movement to control information through book banning.

It's probably not related but I've noticed a significant change in the availability of information online as well. Google searches and YouTube searches only bring up "the official line".

((Sorry in advance but this is the rant thread I'm passionate about this one.))

For example, it's increasingly difficult to get information concerning proven alternative health options such as intermittent fasting or information concerning the negative effects of gluten. It's as if big pharma took charge and is determined to convince everyone to continue unhealthy habits and then rely on expensive patented long term magic-bullet medicine that has no chance of working. Our commercialized medical system works great if you are injured or have a routine short duration illness, but the rest is almost predatory, actually creating business thru misinformation. The entire medical establishment officially refuses to conduct a simple study on the effects of gluten because "there's no money in it, thus no money to fund the study". Somehow they are happier acting like they don't know the truth while raking in ~$1T/year treating symptoms unsuccessfully with snake oil. There are 82 documented autoimmune diseases, all caused by leaky bowel syndrome, in turn caused by huge GMO glutton kernels that wedge open small pores in the gut allowing dangerous intestinal immune cells directly into an otherwise clean bloodstream. Just a few diseases easily avoided are rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus, Crohn's, type 1 diabetes, celiac, etc , etc.. It's criminal but it's modern America. You can't have socialized medicine if the government is allowing this to happen. The government is ultimately responsible, big pharma is one of the top 3 lobbying groups that has bought both sides of Congress. Gluten is the only non nutritional food on the food pyramid for a reason, and not just because it's cheap and makes good tasty treats, processed food and junk food. Bleached, pulverized gluten tastes horrible unless mixed or smeared with something, often sweets. Zero nutritional value. Every bit of wheat you eat, your body has to rob minerals from existing tissue merely to survive. The resulting insulin spike occurs sooner, is much more severe and lasts longer than sugar. The average person thinks it's healthy enough so they eat lots 10x as much wheat compared to sugar, maybe 20x as much when trying unsuccessfully to lose weight. Sugar is vilified by the medical community when it should be gluten. Half the sugar we eat goes to offsetting the horrible taste of gluten. Then there's the the long term health decline stemming from the toxic (gluten) effect. Most autoimmune diseases go unrecognized and untreated. It's a big payoff, with or without insurance, when a person is diagnosed with a mysterious autoimmune disease. The doctor will just tell you it's your immune system fighting some part of your body, as if it's your fault.

A very similar story with intermittent faster easily avoiding fun things like cancer and heart disease, but no one is still reading, I'm sure.

LOL going to war with Iran ? So it is quite apparent that the "Peace President" can turn on a dime & become the "War" President. But since we are ALL young enough to remember going to Iraq ALL over again, looking for WMDs just like last time. Its like the Republican speech writers can re-hire the same guys from the Bush Jr years with all that same rhetoric.

This is happening because we didn't imprison every single politician and TV talking head who publicly supported the Iraq War. The biggest crime in American history.
