Israel and America have never been more isolated internationally. The Intelligence Agencies of both countries claim to be fighting terrorism.

UN Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights in Palestine, Francesca Albanese, has described Israel’s military campaign in Gaza as an act that represents “genocide as colonial erasure.

The Military Tech Genocidal Complex(es) of both countries is ensuring that the entire globe will have frequent terrorism attacks for hundreds of years into the future.

poem by: Clever Iconoclast

Cast I this spell

from here to Holy Hell

to ghosts who rumble roads

where witches bode their toads.

[Witches’ Familiars in 17th Century Europe (February 2011 update) – Benjamin Breen]

To henchmen on the lurk

In dungeons steeped in murk

Where culprits wait to hang

Clamped in castle chains of pain.

[Medieval Dungeons]

Damn as Devil of dark divide

To curse the evil that resides

In minds as narrow

as dumb is wide.

I. The Pressure Valve: How Rage Became a Renewable Resource
All empires master the skill of domination, but America industrialized it. Our rulers discovered that rebellion, like oil or lithium, could be extracted, processed, and sold back to the masses as proof of freedom. The genius was not oppression but conversion—converting defiance into data, and protest into profit.

Hashtags like #BlackLivesMatter, #ClimateStrike or #FreeGaza are presented as forces of change but the real winner of the algorithm is the ad business and influencer economy of the platform. Money changes hands, digitally and the world keeps on dying, anyway.

Gaza was and is now a laboratory in which the shoulders of business, law, and amorality collide in ways that defy euphemism. To call what occurs “peace” is to embrace an Orwellian fiction; to call it “conflict” is to sanitize state-sanctioned murder. There is no substitute in English for the word genocide. Genocide apologists will grasp at any feeble lexicon—“counterterrorism,” “operations,” “humanitarian intervention”—to sanitize what is a methodical pattern of civilian targeting, systemic displacement, and deprivation of life. Those euphemistic words are deeply offensive and inappropriate.

The Nobel Committee has frequently given the peace prize to major war makers, and frequently to do-gooders whose work in a variety of fields has been unrelated to abolishing war. It has also often given the prize to opponents and victims of Western empire. But it has never given the prize to open advocates of war and fascistic government. Trump was never going to be given the prize directly.

Trump is not the right type of warmonger. Nobody could do it with a straight face. Zelensky was saying he’d support Trump for the peace prize if Trump were to send him long-range missiles with which to start World War III. Norway has been worried about what horrible things Trump might do upon failing to be given the prize. Trump has pushed NATO members into unprecedented levels of military spending, while fueling wars in Ukraine and Palestine, supporting Israeli warmaking around Western Asia, murdering the occupants of fishing boats and declaring his right to attack Venezuela, and proclaiming his intention to practice for more wars using U.S. cities as training grounds. The Nobel Committee could not risk having him show up to accept its peace prize and denounce them for having some non-“white” people in the room or for having given the prize to someone he hates.

The US president said he was unsure that resolving the war in Gaza would be enough to earn him a ticket. US President Donald Trump has suggested that it is unlikely he will end up in heaven despite his efforts to mediate peace between Israel and Hamas. During Trump’s flight aboard Air Force One to Israel on Sunday, Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked the president whether ending the war in Gaza would help him get into heaven.

Earlier, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, US President Donald Trump and Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan signed a final Gaza ceasefire agreement. US President Donald Trump urged all Middle Eastern countries and interested states to work together to achieve sustainable peace in the entire region. "Now, all of those great countries that have fought so long and hard for the region have to come together and get the job done! Gaza is only a part of it. The big part is peace in the Middle East!" the US leader wrote on his Truth Social page, summing up the results of the Sharm El-Sheikh summit on ceasefire in Gaza.

Ursula von der Leyen’s political identity – and her vision of the role of the EU – are more and more in line with Nazi Germany. Things are getting a bit out of hand in Brussels as the elite panic like never before. Now they’re talking about shooting down the Slovakian PM’s own plane. Just can’t make this shit up. Previous disparaging comments about the past of European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen and her grandparents’ role in the second world war might have seemed truculent by Russian commentators. And yet, as each month passes, we seem to be witnessing VDL’s political identity – and her vision of the role of the EU – more and more in line with Nazi Germany. The total annihilation of the free press in Brussels was not her doing, as she inherited the draconian system when she took office. But her efforts to broaden the silencing of journalists right across Europe is telling as it becomes even more an act of desperation to stamp out any free and feral reporting while her own team are pumping out these entirely fake narratives every day. The Russians are planning on invading Baltic states. Russia is the new threat to a democratic Europe. And the latest blag, EU is a bastion of peace and democracy “which doesn’t invade other countries”.

Netherlands and Hungary move towards designation as draft resolution reportedly backed by 79 MEPs in 20 countries. Where Donald Trump leads, Europe’s nationalists and far right follow. After a Truth Social post last month, when Trump announced the US would designate antifa, the decentralised anti-fascist movement, “a major terrorist organisation”, his international allies swung into action. That same day, the Dutch parliament, where the largest party is Geert Wilders’ far-right PVV, passed a resolution, noting the US decision and calling on the government to declare antifa a terrorist organisation in the Netherlands.

Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer joined Fox News’ Mark Levin just days ago, revealing that New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani and his family have deep financial ties to Qatar’s royal family – the very same family that harbored 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. “What people have to understand is that this election for mayor in New York is really a dark echo of the 9/11 terrorist attack. And you wonder, what do I mean by that? Well, look at the family itself, the Mamdani family itself, they are joined at the hip with the royal family of Qatar, the Al Thani family. They have sent them millions of dollars, they have funded their projects. So why does this family matter? It matters because, back in 1996, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who was the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, was granted sanctuary by this very royal family.”

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado dedicated her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize to U.S. President Donald J. Trump and the people of Venezuela, stating the South American nation needed Trump’s support “more than ever.” Machado—an outspoken supporter of Trump—has previously called the U.S. President a “visionary” and the “biggest opportunity we’ve ever had” for ending Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro‘s regime.

Sonoma County, California, has reimplemented a mask mandate for certain healthcare facilities and bolstered its vaccine recommendations, citing a “greater risk” of COVID-19 and flu during the season. The Sonoma County Department of Public Health’s Interim Health Officer, Dr. Karen Smith, announced the order, requiring masks in skilled nursing facilities, portions of long-term care facilities, acute and non-acute rehabilitation facilities, infusion centers, and dialysis centers.

The Taíno genocide

The most interesting fact about the truth about ‘Columbus’ and his and his sailors’ crimes is that many of the the most horrific accounts were recorded by Bartolome de las Casas, a Catholic priest and historian who described how he was ‘trembling’ with the savagery and ‘evil’ of their acts in the so-called ‘New World’: ‘In one day, de las Casas saw Columbus’ soldiers “dismember, behead or rape 3,000 natives.” As a result, de las Casas wrote, “My eyes have seen these acts so foreign to human nature that now I tremble as I write.” There are many, many other accounts by eye witnesses — from literate shipmates to colonial officials — on the basis of which Columbus was sent back to Spain in chains, where he confessed to his atrocities.

Marc Benioff is the founder and CEO of Salesforce. He is also very much a liberal and has been extremely critical of President Trump in the past. Now he is calling for Trump to send the National Guard to San Francisco. It’s just proof that some people are eventually able to overcome their Trump Derangement Syndrome. Unfortunately for Benioff, his friends on the left are not so forgiving. In fact, they’re outraged and feel like he has betrayed them.

One thing to keep in mind is that whether the leadership is Republican or Democrat, they both operate under a basic pretension that has no basis in reality. Republicans promote the idea that they are fiscally conservative and morally restrained. Democrats like to say they are about fairness to all, and in support of everyone’s right to express themselves, no matter how perverse the manner might be. These are sweeping generalizations, but since both sides are morally bankrupt, sold out to the highest bidder, and constantly driven by greed and fear of exposure, we have probably been too kind.

Vladimir Putin’s military power a “paper tiger”, and declared ”this is the time for Ukraine to act”. By that he said he meant “to take back their Country in its original form and, who knows, maybe even go further than that!” Five days later, the successor president, Vice President J D Vance, explained that deployment on the Ukrainian battlefield by NATO-supplied Tomahawk cruise missiles, with a 2,500-km range, is the next step he and Trump are considering. “Russia is really stalled,” Vance claimed, “The Russian economy is in shambles. The Russians are not gaining much on the battlefield… The Russians have refused to sit down in any bilateral meetings with the Ukrainians. They have refused to sit down in any trilateral meetings with the President…

Following Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s meeting in New York on Friday with a group of pro-Israel influencers, we learn that Israel is likely paying them a whopping $7,000 per pro-Israel social-media post in a desperate drive to bolster plummeting support of Israel among America’s young conservatives.

The U.K.'s population is growing at a historically high rate, primarily due to a massive surge in net migration, which is the second-largest annual increase in over 75 years. This immigration is the dominant force behind the population boom, far outweighing the number of births. The native-born population is aging and declining, with birth rates falling to record lows. Without immigration, some parts of the U.K., like Scotland and Wales, would see their populations shrink. This creates a situation where the country's growth is now almost entirely dependent on new arrivals. The population increase is not evenly spread across the U.K., with England experiencing the fastest growth. This rapid change is placing significant pressure on public services, infrastructure and housing.

South Africa’s ambassador to France, Nathi Mthethwa, has been found dead near a hotel in Paris a day after being reported missing, authorities have confirmed. The Paris prosecutor’s office said Mthethwa, 58, was discovered on Tuesday in the interior courtyard of the four-star Hyatt Regency Hotel by a security guard at around 11:10am local time. He had checked into the hotel on Monday after reserving a 22nd-floor room about ten days earlier, Prosecutor Laure Beccuau said in a statement, adding that the window’s anti-opening safety mechanism had been forced open with scissors left in the room.

"I was struck just thinking about the arc of Donald Trump's 10 years — and just all the ups and downs and where he was just a few years ago, the unconventional nature of kind of how he operates, the personnel around him." "We hold him to account rightfully when they err — but this is an instance where it spectacularly worked. And it's historic and he deserves all the credit and basking in everything today. You tip your hat to him."

Keep poking the Russian bear with a sharp stick and see what will happen...

"There is something bad happening here that we don't want any part of." Netanyahu is very afraid...

The Russian military continues to make gains in all directions from Kharkiv to Zaporizhzhia as of September 30, with Kiev’s forces struggling to hold onto their defensive lines. In Kharkiv, Russian troops have already taken over more than half of Kupyansk, reaching the center of the city after penetrating Ukrainian defenses on its western outskirts. To the south, the troops are approaching Krasny Liman from two directions. To the north of the city, Shandryholove was captured, and to the east Zarichne was fully secured.

Vice President JD Vance tore into Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Wednesday, crediting him for the government shutdown, which Senate Democrats are using “for the benefit of illegal aliens.” The government shut down at midnight after Senate Democrats used for ransom their demands for $1.5 trillion to provide free healthcare to illegal aliens and gender transition care for minors.
