US troops [are] operating in tunnels under Gaza
Link: https://en.irna.ir/news/85401624/Bushnell-said-US-involved-in-Gaza-war-before-setting-himself
‘Bushnell said US involved in Gaza war before setting himself on fire’ | Bushnell, 25, died on Sunday after setting himself ablaze in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington in an “extreme act of protest” against the Israeli regime and the US government. ● One of his friends told the New York Post on Tuesday that Bushnell had told him he had...
💬...“top-secret clearance’’ for military intelligence data indicating that US troops were operating in tunnels under Gaza. “He told me on Saturday that we have troops in those tunnels, that it’s US soldiers participating in the killings,’’ friend told the Post “His actual job involves the processing of intelligence data. Some of what he was processing had to do with the Israeli Gaza conflict.”.
Bushnell said, according to his friend, that the intelligence that came into his possession showed “the US military was involved in the genocides going on in Palestine". "He told me that we had troops on the ground, you know, that were there and were killing large numbers of Palestinians," the friend stressed.
From Rachel Corrie to Aaron Bushnell: sacrificing for Palestine
Aya Youssef | The United States' defeaning silence on its own citizens who were affected by its own policies speaks volumes. | Rachel Corrie and Aaron Bushnell bravely sacrificed their lives in support of the Palestinian cause, denouncing their country's role in the 75-year Israeli occupation. Yet, the striking question remains: How many more activists must tragically die before the United States truly listens to its citizens?

Denmark Finds 'Deliberate Sabotage' of Nord Stream—But Ends Probe With No Charges
Link: https://www.commondreams.org/news/denmark-nord-stream
The country is the second U.S. ally in the past month to end an investigation into the pipeline explosions. | Denmark became the latest country to close its investigation into the underwater explosions that caused leaks in two pipelines that were built to carry gas from Russia to Germany, with authorities saying they had found that "there was deliberate sabotage" of the infrastructure but would not go further in their probe to confirm who was behind the blasts. [...] Since the gas leaks were discovered in September 2022, seven months after Russia invaded Ukraine, various observers have accused the two countries as well as the United States of being at fault. ● The leaks—which experts said led to the single largest release of methane gas due to human activity—were discovered beneath the Baltic Sea, off the coast of the Danish island of Bornholm. Seismic institutes found that two explosions had occurred underwater just before the leaks were recorded.

Nuland: Putin’s Russia is "not the Russia we wanted”
Link: https://www.rt.com/news/593261-nuland-nukes-west-ukraine-putin/
Nuland accidentally reveals the true aim of the West in Ukraine | US State Department fixture and Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, Victoria Nuland, aka “Regime Change Karen,” apparently woke up one day recently, took the safety off her nuclear-grade mouth, and inadvertently blew up the West’s Ukraine narrative. ● Until now, Americans have been told that all the US taxpayer cash being earmarked for Ukrainian aid is to help actual Ukrainians. Anyone notice that the $75 billion American contribution isn’t getting the job done on the battlefield? Victory in military conflict isn’t supposed to look like defeat. Winning also isn’t defined as, “Well, on a long enough time axis, like infinity, our chance of defeat will eventually approach zero.” And the $178 billion in total from all allies combined doesn’t seem to be doing the trick, either. Short of starting a global war with weapons capable of extending the conflict beyond a regional one, it’s not like they’ve been holding back. The West is breaking the bank. All for some vague, future Ukrainian “victory” that they don’t seem to want to clearly define. We keep hearing that the support will last “as long as it takes.” For what exactly? By not clearly defining it, they can keep moving the goal posts. But now here comes Regime Change Karen, dropping some truth bombs on CNN about Ukrainian aid.

VIDEO: Uniformed U.S. Military Member SELF-IMMOLATES in front of Israeli Embassy
The U.S. Air Force confirms an active duty American airman was involved in a self immolation act in front of the Israeli Embassy today - a protest against what he rightfully described as a genocide in Gaza. He set himself on fire.
💬 “I’m about to engage in an extreme act of protest,” he says calmly, walking down a street. "But compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it’s not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.”
As the man ignites, he yells "Free Palestine." A nearby police officer begins yelling "Get on the ground" as the man is seen fully ignited; and for some reason - perhaps mental retardation, the officer continues to yell "get on the ground." Within seconds, a man appearing to be an officer comes into camera view aiming a gun at the burning man, as if that makes any sense on any level at all.

Bill Gates’ ‘Self-Spreading mRNA Vaccines’ Are ‘Ready to Deploy’
Link: https://newsaddicts.com/bill-gates-self-spreading-mrna-vaccines-ready-deploy/
A new form of “self-spreading mRNA vaccines” has been developed that will allow governments to vaccinate entire populations without the need for injections or individuals’ consent. | The new technology, which was developed by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and his various organizations, is now reportedly “ready to deploy” to the public. Investigative reporter Jefferey Jaxen brought the alarming reality to light on The Highwire. Jaxen explains that Gates’s new technology means the ability to “vaccinate” the entire world without injecting large amounts of the population is upon us. What we’re referring to is self-spreading vaccines, a technology that was almost ready to be deployed for the coronavirus pandemic. However, it was ultimately passed at the time for mRNA injections instead. So, it would be naive to think, four years later, that global health authorities wouldn’t push for its use in the event of another “global health crisis.”

The Indian-American entrepreneur is one of six candidates on the Republican frontrunner’s shortlist | Former US presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy tied with South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem as the top choice for Donald Trump’s running mate among attendees of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Saturday. Trump has said that a wide range of candidates are being considered, including former Democrat Tulsi Gabbard. ● Ramaswamy and Noem both took 15% in the straw poll, with Gabbard – who in 2022 denounced her former party as elitist warmongers – coming in third place with 9%. New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik and South Carolina Senator Tim Scott came in joint fourth place with 8% each. ● The poll is unusual in that it was held while Trump has yet to secure the GOP’s nomination to face President Joe Biden this November. However, Trump has won all four Republican primary contests to date, and is considered by allies and opponents alike to be the party’s presumptive nominee.
Most Ukraine aid ‘goes right back’ to US – Nuland

The money that Washington allocates for Kiev supports jobs in America, the high-ranking State Department official has said | Washington spends most of the money allocated as aid for Ukraine on weapons production at home, Acting US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland said in an interview with CNN this week. ● Commenting on the pending aid package which Congress failed to approve before going on winter recess, Nuland said she has “strong confidence” that it will pass, as it addresses America’s own interests.
💬 “We have to remember that the bulk of this money is going right back into the US economy, to make weapons, including good-paying jobs in some forty states across the US,” she stated, adding that support for Ukraine in America “is still strong.”
Lawmakers in the House of Representatives blocked a bill requested by US President Joe Biden for an aid package for Kiev worth $60 billion, most of which is earmarked for weapons, earlier this month. They are expected to restart discussions on the package after they reconvene on February 28.

US ‘Always Planned’ For Assange to Die in Prison
Link: https://sputnikglobe.com/20240222/us-always-planned-for-assange-to-die-in-prison-1116910930.html
On Tuesday, the final appeal for WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange to avoid extradition to the United States began. Days earlier, his wife and lawyer, Stella Assange, warned that if the journalist is not released soon, the stress of the case and his confinement could kill him, adding that he “will die” if extradited to the US.
💬 “His health is in decline, mentally and physically. His life is at risk every single day he stays in prison, and if he’s extradited, he will die,” Stella Assange said at a media briefing in London.
Julian Assange, an Australian national, could face up to 175 years in prison if extradited to the United States on espionage charges. ● But the US has no plans for Assange to stand trial in the United States, Dan Kovalik, a professor, human rights lawyer and peace activist told Sputnik’s The Critical Hour on Tuesday.
💬 “If [Julian Assange] is sent to the US, they’re just going to delay the trial as long as they can so that they can guarantee that he’ll die in jail,” Kovalik explained. “That’s always been the plan.”
Former Democrat lawmaker endorses Trump for US president

Tulsi Gabbard has been listed among the leading Republican candidate’s possible running mates | Former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii has denounced her former party as enemies of democracy driven by a lust for power, while praising the Republican favorite for the presidential nomination, Donald Trump. ● Gabbard was once the vice-chair of the Democratic National Committee, but resigned in 2016 to protest the “rigging” of the party primaries against Bernie Sanders and in favor of Hillary Clinton. On Thursday, she spoke at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), held just outside the US capital. ● In her speech, Gabbard denounced the “Democrat elite and the swamp creatures in Washington” as having no respect for Americans and their rights, and being “driven by their insatiable hunger for power.”
Over 2/3 of Jewish Israelis oppose humanitarian aid to Palestinians starving in Gaza
Jonathan Ofir | A new Israeli Democracy Institute survey shows that 68% of Jewish Israelis oppose “the transfer of humanitarian aid to Gaza residents.” | This is a shocking data point. The Israeli Democracy Institute released a survey this week showing that over 2/3 of Jewish Israelis – 68% that is – opposed “the transfer of humanitarian aid to Gaza residents at this time.” ● It gets even worse – the survey lowered the bar to exclude any possible opposition to either UNRWA (which Israel has been inciting against) or the Hamas authorities (which Israel considers terrorists). To no avail. Over two-thirds still oppose humanitarian help “via international bodies that are not linked to Hamas or to UNRWA… A majority of Jewish respondents (68%) oppose the transfer of humanitarian aid even under these conditions,” the survey notes. ● The numbers are worse when it comes to right-wing Jewish Israelis, where the opposition is at 80% – four out of five. And consider that about 2/3 of Israeli voters are considered right-wing. ● One really has to pause here. We are in a situation where Palestinians in Gaza are starving, people are consuming animal feed in their desperation. The week the UN’s World Food Programme reported people in Gaza are “already dying from hunger-related causes,” and a UNICEF nutrition screening in north Gaza found that 1 in 6 children under two years old are acutely malnourished. Israelis are not completely ignorant of this. They are supporting genocide by an overwhelming majority.

Each NATO member that pledged to deliver them has different policies and will decide on their own.

Netanyahu's plan for 'after-war' Gaza: What are the main takeaways?
Benjamin Netanyahu has presented his plans for the "day after" the war on Gaza to the Israeli war cabinet. | Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has presented the Israeli war cabinet with a document of principles regarding the occupation's plots for the future of the Gaza Strip. ● Although discussions regarding these plans have been framed under plans for the "day after" the war on the Gaza Strip comes to an end, the glaring proposition from the document is the continued direct occupation of several sectors in the Gaza Strip. Netanyahu said that the Israeli occupation forces will do so until the full "de-militarization" of the Strip is achieved, adding that their presence in the Gaza Strip will be indefinite.
