A recent national poll has revealed that former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis are neck and neck for second place in the 2024 Republican primary. | Both candidates garnered 8% of the support, while former President Donald Trump continues to dominate the GOP field with a commanding 59% backing, according to the Emerson College poll. The poll also showed other candidates, such as former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, former Vice President Mike Pence, and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, securing only 3% support each. Ten percent of voters remain undecided. ● Haley's performance has notably improved in recent polls, marking a five-point gain since the last Emerson College poll, while DeSantis slipped in that poll. However, she still lags behind DeSantis in the latest RealClearPolitics polling aggregate, where she holds 7.4% support nationally compared to DeSantis' 12.8%. ● Meanwhile, Trump maintains a substantial lead at 59.1%. Notably, Haley recently received the endorsement of the Palmetto State newspaper, the Post and Courier.

US President Joe Biden is on a tightrope amid the global position turning against Israel’s military operation in Gaza, former Virginia State Senator Richard Black told Sputnik. 💬 "Gaza is totally blockaded, without food, water, electrical power, communications, or medical supplies.

"More importantly, global opinion is turning against Israel’s siege, which has already killed more than twice as many Arabs as the Israelis lost. Biden is on a tightrope." Black went on to say that Biden now faces a sharp clash between two of the Democrat Party’s most important blocs: Muslims and Jews.

Mike Stone | If you're taking a side in the current Hamas/Palestine/Israel conflict, you're being played. That's because Hamas is Israel. | Hamas is Israel in the same way that Al-Queda is Israel, and that ISIS is Israel. ISIS literally stands for Israeli Secret Intelligence Service. Israel funds and runs those three organizations and many more. It's called Controlled Opposition. Remember those fake ISIS beheading videos that were found on John McCain's computer? McCain was heavily involved in running and funding that whole operation. He was also involved in running and funding the overthrow of the government of Ukraine. Those are only two of the reasons why President Trump had him executed for treason. What you're seeing right now on the television set is nothing but theater. Theater with deadly consequences for some, but theater nonetheless. All those boot-licking, "conservative" pundits and commentators that you currently see, demanding that we "stand with Israel" are part of the same theatrical production. They're part of the Mockingbird Press, and they are being paid handsomely to spread their propaganda.

An article published on Substack back in September accused the Australian government of mass murder during the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. | The Sept. 9 post by the writer under the pseudonym ExcessDeathsAU argued that Canberra's actions during the pandemic were tantamount to democide, the intentional killing of unarmed people. The author allegedly spent months researching the Australian government's actions during the height of the pandemic in the Land Down Under. They outlined a series of troubling allegations against the Australian government, complete with supporting documents.

First, the government allegedly collaborated with tech giants like Twitter and Facebook "to censor, digitally corral, de-platform and target Australian citizens." In turn, this collaboration infringed on the freedom of speech and access to information during the pandemic.

Second, the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) allegedly imposed restrictions on hydroxychloroquine prescriptions for COVID-19. The TGA is the country's equivalent of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Third, the government launched the "Arm Yourself" vaccine media campaign that tapped celebrities, sports stars and pastors to manipulate the Aboriginal group on COVID-19 vaccination. The said campaign ran from 2021 until 2022.

Fourth, public leaders like former Western Australia Premier Mark McGowan called people who refused the COVID-19 vaccine "drongos," "idiots," "morons" and "absolute cretins." Such coarse and derogatory remarks, ExcessDeathsAU noted, were seen as harmful to public discourse.

Some of these American commanders participating in the attacks are advising their Israeli comrades to refrain from entering Gaza by land because the possibility of a heavier blow is very high and this battle is not considered a right risk.

In early October, the Palestinian group Hamas launched a surprise large-scale rocket attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip and breached the border, killing and seizing people in neighboring Israeli communities. Israel responded with retaliatory strikes and ordered a complete blockade of the Gaza Strip. | The US will lose in the war in the Middle East if Russia, China and Turkiye are drawn into it, said former Fox News journalist Tucker Carlson in his program on social network X (formerly Twitter).

According to the journalist, some may support Israel and the US, but most of the countries involved in the conflict will join forces against Washington.
"And that's going to be a problem. The US military is weaker than it has been in the past 50 years," Carlson said.

[The] Israeli government actively and directly participated in creating and propping up Hamas in the service of its own political machinations. | Bibi Netanyahu and his ideological ilk represent more of an existential threat to the continued existence of the Israeli state – and possibly the world if it gets dragged into its geopolitical melodrama -- than any foreign adversary ever could hope to. What many casual news consumers might not know, even ones who consider themselves “informed” – in large part because MSNBC/CIA-funded Washington Post would never tell them – is that Hamas is in no small measure a creation of the Israeli state.

Raz Segal | Israel has been explicit about what it’s carrying out in Gaza. Why isn’t the world listening? | Indeed, Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza is quite explicit, open, and unashamed. Perpetrators of genocide usually do not express their intentions so clearly, though there are exceptions.

■ Israel’s campaign to displace Gazans—and potentially expel them altogether into Egypt—is yet another chapter in the Nakba, in which an estimated 750,000 Palestinians were driven from their homes during the 1948 war that led to the creation of the State of Israel. But the assault on Gaza can also be understood in other terms: as a textbook case of genocide unfolding in front of our eyes. I say this as a scholar of genocide, who has spent many years writing about Israeli mass violence against Palestinians. I have written about settler colonialism and Jewish supremacy in Israel, the distortion of the Holocaust to boost the Israeli arms industry, the weaponization of antisemitism accusations to justify Israeli violence against Palestinians, and the racist regime of Israeli apartheid. Now, following Hamas’s attack on Saturday and the mass murder of more than 1,000 Israeli civilians, the worst of the worst is happening.

■ Under international law, the crime of genocide is defined by “the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such,” as noted in the December 1948 UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. In its murderous attack on Gaza, Israel has loudly proclaimed this intent. Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant declared it in no uncertain terms on October 9th: “We are imposing a complete siege on Gaza. No electricity, no food, no water, no fuel. Everything is closed. We are fighting human animals, and we will act accordingly.” Leaders in the West reinforced this racist rhetoric by describing Hamas’s mass murder of Israeli civilians—a war crime under international law that rightly provoked horror and shock in Israel and around the world—as “an act of sheer evil,” in the words of US President Joe Biden, or as a move that reflected an “ancient evil,” in the terminology of President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen. This dehumanizing language is clearly calculated to justify the wide scale destruction of Palestinian lives; the assertion of “evil,” in its absolutism, elides distinctions between Hamas militants and Gazan civilians, and occludes the broader context of colonization and occupation.
