@ggreenwald: Under new guidelines released by the National Institute of Health, any medical researchers will have all funds terminated if they support a boycott of Israel. They can support a boycott of any other country, or even other US states -- just not Israel.

They can support a boycott of any other country, or even other US states -- just not Israel.

A research institute could be close to developing treatments or cures for cancer or Alzheimer's, but will lose NIH grants unless they certify they don't support a boycott of Israel.

I was happy @DrJBhattacharya was made NIH director given his free speech advocacy, and yet...

Beyond everything else: it's absolutely amazing how the Trump Admin and US Congress issue new rules, laws, measures, threats and other policies on a virtually daily basis about this one single foreign country on the other side of the world, all under the banner of America First.

The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal interviews Muhammad Al-Bukhaiti, senior political officer and spokesman for Ansar Allah (the Houthi movement), on Yemen’s direct confrontation with a US military machine which is hellbent on destroying its ability to resist Israel.

Maniak · 2025-04-13T11:50:40+00:00

Ansar Allah == Houthis, so are they a joke, the only resistance or both?

And yes, of course Hamas was created by Israel, in the same way that so many other groups have been created and funded by the US over the decades, alternating between calling them terrorists or freedom fighters depending on the need and on the inevitable point in time when they get attacked by their own creations.

And with Palestine being occupied territory, any attack by Hamas against the Zionists is by definition an act of resistance against occupying forces.

As for the rest of the region up until now outside of these three groups, yep, it's been a mix of corruption and cowardice, at least at the government level...

Călin Georgescu is the most popular political figure in Romania and one of the bravest and wisest politicians in the world.

None of the people applauding Trump’s war on Yemen because “the Houthis are attacking ships” will tell you why the Houthis started attacking ships.

The pundits won’t say, and the people don’t know.

[...]

They legitimately do not know it’s a blockade aimed at halting Israel’s genocidal atrocities in Gaza, and that all attacks had ceased while the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was in effect. They have no idea that Ansar Allah only announced the Red Sea blockade would resume after Trump and Netanyahu actively collaborated to sabotage the ceasefire and resume starving Gaza, or that they hadn’t even resumed attacks yet when Trump began bombing them.

[...]

And what keeps blowing my mind is that they’re still supporting Trump’s war even after seeing the leaked Signal chat featuring Trump’s own team privately acknowledging to each other that it isn’t really necessary. They know that chat exists. They saw Trump officials talking about how there’s no real reason the bombing needs to happen right now and at most it can be used to “send a message” (whatever that means). But they’ve been aggressively defending Trump’s war this whole time anyway.

[...]

But that all it is. Pretending. They’re all phonies and frauds. A bunch of George W Bush Republicans LARPing as Ron Paul libertarians. Bleating human livestock cheering for every act of mass military slaughter they are instructed to cheer for.

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.

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.

As it stands right now, despite Trump bring paid for by nazis, the US is weirdly in a much better (well... less worse) position than western Europe.

Over here we still have pseudo-leaders trying to cause WW3 as long as it can enrich their donors, thus themselves, along the way.

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.

Full tweet:

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.

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.

Tucker: “Is it evil to kill civilians on purpose? Yeah I think it is”

Piers: “Because I think there’s a moral right behind you”

Tucker: “To kill women & children?!?”

Well there are multiple levels of sarcasm and cynicism in all of this. But not just that.

Canonizing Luigi Mangione (if he's even guilty) doesn't do much concretely, outside of possibly motivating other people to take things into their own hands.

Which is where I'll disagree with you on this:

You aren't going to get change with blood. You get it through struggle and organization.

Peaceful struggle and organization are still being tried and have been for decades. Shit keeps getting worse and if anything, it's accelerating. Voting is meaningless, protesting gets you on terrorist watchlists and in jail, twitter posts get you flagged if not visited by the FBI...

Given where we're at now, I won't be throwing any stone anytime soon at anybody going for the blood option as long as it's directed at the elite class. And you do get change with blood. It's what the US has been doing all over the world for the past century, at least. It's how France stopped being a monarchy (then regressed in recent decades like the rest of the west). It's the entire existence of Israel. It's what just happened in Syria and will be ongoing for years to come.

Throughout history, more changes have happened with blood, one way or the other, than with peaceful protests. Is it a good thing? No. But it is what it is, we're a shitty and bloodthirsty animal species. And it's not incompatible with struggle and organization, far from it.

I for one won't be shedding any tear for any elite scumbag waste of oxygen who gets shot down. That goes for healthcare CEOs, politicians, tech billionaires, even more so for zionist leadership because I really don't like nazis.

If anybody is willing to exchange their life against one of our globalist minders raking in millions or billions off the suffering of others, I won't be doing any canonizing but I sure as hell will respect it.

I'd rather see these assholes taxed through their assholes, and for the money to be forced to 'trickle down', but since the system is rigged to do the opposite...

Slippery slope and all that, sure, but this was always the expected outcome after such an extended period of being generationally shit on.

Hell, I'm in and from a country in which the elites ended up beheaded by the mob once the people had enough, and they're more than due for another round.

A country with a national anthem that's all about bloody resistance.

Do you hear in the countryside,

Those blood-thirsty soldiers ablare?

Mmh...

Decades of apartheid and genocide in Palestine have been rewarded by decades of infinite money and additional land theft, up to and including right the fuck now.

Years of attempted genocide of ethnic russians in Ukraine have been rewarded by years of infinite money. Land loss, sure, most peasants dead, sure, but the elite class has been making bank over there.

Taking over the Romanian election? That's nothing. The US and its vassals have been doing it all over for the past 80 years and since the CIA has been a thing, any country showing any sign of possibly pushing back, or daring to have resources that the US wants to own, is flagged to be destroyed.

The empire won't stop by itself, and the people whose job is supposed to be to keep their government in check are too busy dealing with paying their bills and shitting on their neighbors to do anything about it.

So... where next? I'm guessing Iran or wherever next the empire wants to go, because if you can do 15 months of livestreamed genocide and end up gaining more territory (whether these nazis will be able to hold onto it or not) despite international condemnation, then what's the fucking point?

Regular people are the ones paying the price for the consequences of the US-supported Ukrainazis, the US-supported Nazionists and the US-supported jihadists, while the elites are profiting off of each of those.

Don't give a single half-fuck about the Musk thing, but even outside of the usual bullshit hidden behind any mention of 'democracy' from western countries, I'd have one question about this, absolutely not followed by any kind of rant since I don't do that:

German democracy, which has existed undeterred since 1949

Even if that were true, didn't it also, using the same "let's pick bits of history" approach, exist undeterred until 1939?

What about the whole wall thing? Was it democracy in action?

More recently, what about the whole "let's watch while the US blow up our entire economy while still being supposed to support the imperialist puppet who's ramming the US dick down our throats" thing?

Democracy in action I guess. Trying hard to reach the invisible bar set by the US with its own elections and political system.

"Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds" may be a meme, but applying that meme in Germany... oh well, after Ukraine and Israel we're already supporting full-blown nazis all over in the name of 'democracy', so why not bring Germany back into it.

Cheney is now a lib hero, Naziyahoo and Nazilensky are also lib heroes, may as well rehabilitate Hitler. He could only have dreamed of causing as much death and destruction as what the US empire did with his nazi follow-ups since then.

How far are we from mainstream media saying that the only problem with the nazi party was its socialist part and libs clapping?
