@Megatron_ron: US political influencer Jackson Hinkle held a rally in Yemen with more than a million people, during the US bombing of the country.

kingsmeg · 2025-03-29T23:30:17+00:00

LOL No, Jackson Hinkle did not hold a rally in Yemen. The Houthis of Yemen held a rally, and for the first time they invited about a dozen international observers, among them Hinkle and Pepe Escobar. Each observer was allowed to address the rally for approx. 1 minute. Pepe's clip was shown on Judge Napolitano's show, he mentioned that Hinkle was also there.

He's using the god card way too much even just in this small clip, but I guess he's playing to his audience. The basic premise is accurate, as in the US being the enemy, the attacker, the funder of the genocidal nazi regime next door.

Organized religion is and has always been a tool to control the masses. I abhor the concept but at least in this case it's being used for a worthy purpose.

Hamas, Hezbollah and Ansar Allah are the modern equivalents of the french resistance under nazi occupation during WW2, and the conditions are much worse for them. They deserve all the support they can get, and the US empire (including all its vassals, such as France and the UK) deserves everything that's always happened to every attempt at (in Bond villain terms) world domination.

I will be interviewing Ryan Dawson soon, who has amassed a mountain of evidence that points to complicity between Israel, the CIA and organized crime in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. It is not a theory. Ryan has compiled compelling evidence to support his claim, which received a significant boost in the latest release of information by Donald Trump. The following document shows that James Jesus Angleton was engaged with the Government of Israel.

I always was doubtful that the US would release the full evidence about what really happened. I think that the partial revelations, although damaging, are far from the full picture and confirm my suspicions.

With respect to Russia, Witkoff demonstrated a similar lack of understanding about Russia’s key demands. For example, he was unable to name the four oblasts in Ukraine that have become part of the Russian Federation. He continues to labor under the delusion that Russia can be finagled into accepting a total 30-day ceasefire. While Russia is genuine about wanting to restore normal relations with the United States, and sees Donald Trump as the best hope of achieving that goal, Russia is in no hurry to put a hold on its military operations without concrete actions by the West, including an end to military assistance to Ukraine and Ukraine’s withdrawal from Russian territory.

This is a very bad sign. Trump seems to be think that he can strong arm Russia the way he strong arms weaker nations. It's going backfire badly.

Let’s give Donald Trump credit for one thing — i.e., he is giving a master class on the meaning of hubris. At the very moment he is trying to persuade Vladimir Putin that the United States is sincere about pursuing a peace deal with Russia, Trump is threatening attacks against a country that now has a security arrangement with Russia. I think Trump is in for a surprise when he gets on the phone with Mr. Putin, who is likely to chide Trump for his bullying. We will know by 1600 hours eastern what kind of reception Mr. Trump received from his Russian counterpart. I suspect the conversation, at least from the Russian side, will be a bit chilly.

Trump has really messed up by waging this war. He has been totally captured by the Israel lobby.

He's paid by nazionists and sticking to the script. Which makes him just as bad as every single US president since this nazi colony was established, the British being the initiators before that. The Zionist virus was passed from one dying empire to the next.

At least we may avoid the ukrainazi-based WW3, which is a plus, but we're still all in deep shit.

Set climate change to the side, the main global issue now and for the past several decades is Zionism. It's quite literally a more successful nazism.

I didn't watch Trump's speech. I figure he's going to stay stuff and then I'll later learn what they did, what the consequences are.

Elon Musk views everything through the prism of being an unbelievably wealthy individual. He and his class don't have much use for government services, so they seem superfluous.

Professor Wolff avoids ad hominem attacks, and observes there may be signs of the empire thrashing around while failing.

To reiterate, I have a hard time following the media extravaganza regarding Trump, Musk, crushing poor people (in America), bombing Palestinians in Palestine and others (mostly POC) around the world. Trump and the others say stuff to distract and dissemble --- it's a partly fictional production where we'll only hear concerning reports every couple days and then later into his term more information we'll learn what pointless America's Globe actions, possibly destructive actions, the administration has taken. And their stories, their actions, anything they do, can take a 180 degree turn a few hours, days, months later. The Russia project?

We are witnessing history. The post-World War II order with the US ruling the roost is coming unglued. I think this is the beginning of the end for NATO and for the European Union. But the collapse is not imminent. Political and economic chaos are likely to shake the major European countries and create internal pressures in the next two years that will lead the various nations to seek their own path for security outside the confines of NATO or the EU. Already we are hearing that some states are keen on reviving economic relations with Russia, with an eye on getting access to cheap oil and gas.

Full tweet:

Many prominent politicians (ie. 8% of Democrat Senators) had unusual brain injuries identical to those caused by the vaccines. Yet, rather than do the right thing, they covered it up and pushed the vaccines (ie. this applies to many of RFK's detractors).

Those Senators were unfortunately just the tip of the iceberg, as we also came across many cases of neurological injuries which were never reported. For example:

•I learned through a trusted source that Gavin Newsom disappeared at the end of 2021 because it was impossible to cover up the side effects of his vaccine induced Guillain-Barré Syndrome.

•I learned through another trusted source that numerous senators have had COVID vaccine injuries they never publicly admitted.

In this thread, I will go through some of the most noteworthy cases, particularly since all of them pushed the vaccines (ie. mandates) and were extremely hostile to RFK Jr. and in many cases defied the existing expectations to vote against RFK Jr.

Democrats are as happy as a pig in shit right now. Suddenly they get to pretend all the unfathomable evils their president inflicted upon our world never happened, just because there's a different president doing bad things who people are feeling big feels about.

They wanted to lose. They're overjoyed that they don't have to be the face on the US empire's depravity anymore, and that it's no longer their job to make excuses for it. They're getting everything they want out of the present arrangement, because liberals don't actually care about fixing problems and making the world a better place, they only care about feeling good about themselves. Their politics is never actually about anything other than their feelings, and Biden was making their feelings feel bad. Trump lets them feel smug and vindicated and correct. He also lets them feel outraged and indignant, and they enjoy that too.

But it's all bullshit. No matter what Trump says or does or how he and his goons make people's feelings feel, it will still be a historical fact that Biden and his handlers spent 15 months facilitating a campaign of extermination and demolition in Gaza which could not have happened without US backing. It will still be a historical fact that Biden and his handlers pushed Ukraine into an unwinnable war that the US and its allies knowingly provoked in order to advance geostrategic grand chessboard agendas, sabotaging potential peace negotiations and threatening the world with nuclear annihilation along the way. It will still be a historical fact that Biden kept in place many of the ugly policies put in place during the first Trump administration and actively expanded and added to them.

It's important to point this out because Democrats are posturing as opponents of tyranny and abuse right now, and they aren't. They are ALLIES of tyranny and abuse, who LARP as righteous defenders of truth and justice whenever the other tyrannical and abusive party happens to be in power. Their behavior during the Trump administration shows you how they wish to be perceived, but their behavior during the Biden administration showed you who they really are.

A strange thing happened in 2020.

Most governments at all levels across the globe turned on their people. It was a shock because governments had never before attempted anything this audacious. It claimed to be exercising mastery over the whole of the microbial kingdom, the world over. It would prove this implausible mission as a valid one with the release of a magic potion made and distributed with its industrial partners who were fully indemnified against liability claims.

Suffice it to say that the potion did not work. Everyone got Covid anyway. Most everyone shook it off. Those who died were often denied common therapeutics to make way for a shot that clocked the highest rate of injury and death on public record. A worse fiasco would be hard to invent outside dystopian fiction.

The controlling forces in every nation traced to something else we did not normally think of as government. It was the administrators who occupied agencies that were deemed independent of public awareness or control. They worked closely with their industrial partners in tech, pharma, banking, and corporate life.

The Constitution did not matter. Neither did the long tradition of rights, liberty, and law. The workforce was divided between essential and nonessential in order to survive the great emergency. The essential people were the ruling class plus the workers who serve them. Everyone else was deemed unessential to social functioning.

After an eloquent intro about the disasters of gov and major institutions in 2020, this piece touches on USAID revelations and continues:

Frequently overlooked in all the commentary on our times is how the second Trump administration is Republican in name only but mostly consists of refugees from the other party. Tick through the names (Trump, Vance, Musk, Kennedy, Gabbard, and so on) and you find people who only a few years ago were associated with the Democratic Party.

Which is to say that this aggressive rooting out of the deep state is being achieved by what is a de facto third party aimed at overthrowing the establishments of the legacy ones. And this is not just in the US: the same dynamic is taking shape throughout the industrialized world. ...

Who is regretting this? It’s the legacy news media, the legacy academic establishment, the legacy corporate establishment, the legacy public-sector agencies, the legacy everything, and this regret knows no partisan or ideological bounds.

And who is celebrating this or, at least, enjoying the upheaval and cheering it on? It’s the independent media, the genuine grassroots, the deplorables and nonessentials, the pillaged and oppressed, the workers and peasants who were forced to serve the elites for years, those who have been truly marginalized through decades of exclusion from public life.

Full tweet, only missing mentions of Fauci:

USAID funneled $53 million to EcoHealth Alliance, which then used U.S. taxpayer funds to support gain-of-function research on coronaviruses at the Wuhan lab—research that likely led to the creation of COVID-19.

The CIA’s deception regarding COVID-19 origins becomes much clearer when considering USAID's long history of serving as a CIA front organization.

With an annual budget exceeding $50 billion and activities in over 100 countries, USAID has repeatedly been linked to intelligence activities. Former USAID Director John Gilligan once admitted the agency was “infiltrated from top to bottom with CIA people,” explaining that “the idea was to plant operatives in every kind of activity we had overseas: government, volunteer, religious, every kind.”

In 2013, a U.S. cable published by WikiLeaks outlined the U.S. strategy to undermine Venezuela’s government through USAID by "penetrating Chavez’s political base," "dividing Chavismo," and "isolating Chavez internationally."

In 2014, the Associated Press revealed that USAID funded the creation of a Twitter-like platform intended to incite a rebellion in Cuba.

USAID funding has been linked to coups in Haiti, Ukraine, Egypt, and other nations.

From 2009 to 2019, USAID partnered with EcoHealth Alliance on the PREDICT program, which identified 1,200 new viruses, trained 5,000 people globally in disease detection, and enhanced 60 research labs.

This partnership provided the CIA with a direct channel for embedding human assets within biological research facilities worldwide in exchange for funding and technology transfers.

In 2022, Dr. Andrew Huff, a former Vice President at EcoHealth Alliance, publicly revealed Dr. Peter Daszak’s alleged ties to the CIA.

The core issue?

The CIA lied to the American public about COVID-19’s origins because acknowledging the truth would expose its likely role in funneling taxpayer money through USAID to finance gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab.

My only hope is that an actual face to face with Putin happens via video conference sooner than later, and some hard home truths are gently but clearly said about the reality of Ukr.

sdl5 · 2025-01-30T10:11:35+00:00

Yes, that was the exact play.

Ah, now it suddenly makes sense why NATO has been making all these unsupported accusations that the North Koreans are fighting in the Ukraine.

With Yoon, who was a very pro-US South Korean leader, now out, the South Koreans are probably going to lower the escalation of their involvement in Ukraine.

If Trump thinks he can achieve a similar win over Putin using these methods, he better think twice. While the United States enjoys enormous leverage over Colombia, Russia is a different story. Trump, by virtue of his public statements this past week, is convinced that Russia is suffering enormous casualties and that its economy is faltering. Both assumptions are false.

Russia and China have much more bargaining power than the US does right now. Bluster can't compensate for that.

This bit is also interesting:

The ICJ’s President Nawaf Salam resigned on January 14, 2025 to become Prime Minister of Lebanon

I'm hearing from the analysts I follow that the new government of Lebanon is working closely with the US and Israel to push Hizbullah out. On the other hand, Hizbullah appears to be even stronger than before and with even broader support.

Either Trump is lying on purpose in a desperate hope to gain leverage where he has none or he is being lied to by the US intelligence community in a desperate bid to keep the war going.

With new countries joining South Africa’s case accusing Israel of committing genocide in the Gaza Strip, and a ceasefire potentially enabling war crimes investigators to gather fresh evidence of Israeli atrocities, a leadership shakeup at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) threatens to undermine the campaign for legal accountability.

The ICJ’s President Nawaf Salam resigned on January 14, 2025 to become Prime Minister of Lebanon, and was succeeded by Justice Julia Sebutinde of Uganda. Many observers were stunned when Sebutinde voted “no” on all resolutions introduced by South Africa in January 2024, placing herself in opposition to all ICJ judges, including her Israeli colleague, Aharon Barak.

The Ugandan judge rejected the court’s call for the Israeli military to halt deliberate assaults on civilians, end its policy of forced displacement, and cancel its planned invasion of Rafah. In a previous advisory case on the legal consequences of Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian Territories, Sebutinde insisted that Palestinians had not been subjected to any military occupation whatsoever. In fact, she concluded that Israel may have the right to maintain a permanent presence in the West Bank and the whole of Jerusalem on the basis of purely biblical claims.

After probing deeper into Sebutinde’s bizarre dissent, a Princeton University graduate student named Zachary Foster discovered that large sections of it had been plagiarized from sources including neoconservative operative Douglas Feith and the Jewish Virtual Library.

Sebutinde’s fanatical adherence to Israel’s agenda does not appear to be the product of manipulation or enticement, however. The views expressed in her dissent on the South African case were much more likely a reflection of the Christian Zionist belief system she developed as a member of Watoto, a Pentecostal megachurch in the Ugandan capital of Kampala.

Assuming that the European officials weren't lying. Yes, Trump has made stupid comments about Greenland but demanding that Denmark "hand over Greenland" sounds like the typical hysterical utterances made by these morons. After all this time did they suddenly become rational, trustworthy sources?

Full tweet, surprising nobody:

Trump called the Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, and demanded that Denmark hand over Greenland to the United States - Financial Times reports citing five European officials

The conversation was a disaster. Trump was reportedly aggressive and confrontational, rejecting all offers of cooperation from Denmark and focusing solely on acquiring Greenland.

Bernie organizing propaganda efforts on behalf of Pfizer & co. Just a normal day for this worthless spineless piece of shit.

He rolled over, got his millions of dollars as a reward and is now just a regular corrupt democrat, fine with genocides and mass murders.

Wouldn't even surprise me if he was taking insider trading tips from Pelosi's handlers.

If only there was a hell for him to burn in. But sadly, just like all the others, he'll just crawl his way towards feeding the worms without ever facing any kind of reckoning.

It also doesn't apply to Egypt and Jordan, because the US knows that the only thing that keeps Egypt and Jordan cooperating with Sithrael is hefty bribes to the leadership.

In the context, Jewish Supremacist is like the term White Supremacist.

The shorter version being that Zionism is Nazism.

The danger is the Trump administration has surrounded himself with neocons.

He was always going to be surrounded by neocons. The bigger danger is that his neocons are Blinken-level zionists, ready to sacrifice every single US citizen (nevermind the rest of the world) on the altar of zionism.

Trump is no Hitler, but zionists are nazis. Straight up. Started as nazi collaborators then picked up the torch.

This is from last year, but I think that the important point is that not all Jewish people support what Israel is doing.

I'm posting this mostly because of information it provides on the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM), which is part of the Censorship Industrial Complex.

GARM, a 2019 initiative designed to ensure “brand safety,” has faced accusations of marginalizing conservative news outlets and viewpoints by influencing advertising practices. Though the initiative was dissolved in 2023 amid antitrust scrutiny, critics worry that its goals may persist through corporate practices.

The ADF (Alliance Defending Freedom), representing Disney shareholders alongside Bowyer Research and Patron Partners, had pressed the entertainment giant to affirm its support for free expression. However, Disney reportedly stated that issuing such a declaration was not in its “best interest.”

More recently, the organization has turned its attention to corporate policies it views as suppressing conservative and religious perspectives. Jeremy Tedesco, ADF’s senior vice president of corporate engagement, described their broader mission: “We’ve helped shareholders file about 10 resolutions this shareholder season related specifically to GARM, but we’ve also filed over 50 resolutions on issues like de-platforming [and] DEI in vendor contracts.”

...concerns about corporate censorship, particularly in light of GARM’s past activities. The initiative, backed by major corporations such as Coca-Cola and Unilever, reportedly encouraged its members to cut advertising ties with platforms like X after Elon Musk’s 2022 acquisition. A subsequent House Judiciary Committee investigation found that GARM’s practices likely violated federal antitrust laws, describing its actions as “colluding to suppress voices and views.”

Although GARM has officially disbanded, critics believe its agenda persists... [Tedesco] also raised concerns about the emergence of similar initiatives, suggesting that companies could continue leveraging advertising dollars to silence disfavored views.

Full tweet and follow-ups:

Ukrainian special forces ambush and kill civilians trying to leave Novoyelizavetovka near Pokrovsk (to cross the contact line into Russian-held territory); post the footage to brag about it. Looks like one person in the video is armed, could be a Russian soldier guiding the civilians, could be a civilian with a Saiga or something.

#1: Aftermath. As poster rightly notes, the Ukrainian soldiers who did this knew they wre civilians, those who edited the footage also knew it and this is why they blurred the zoom. Still decide to post it publicly.

#2: Hunting and killing civilians who are trying to reach the Russian side of the line of contact is completely routine for the AFU. There are dozens of videos of this. From mortar fire to drone drops to shooting. But usually they don't post it themselves

How Israeli of them.
