Full tweet:

I was illegally detained by the Israeli Army with four other journalists. Here's what happened:

On October 8th 2024, at approximately 01:00 PM, a car with five journalists (an American journalist, a Palestinian journalist, a Russian-Israeli journalist, a Canadian-Israeli videographer, and an Israeli photographer) was stopped at a checkpoint in the northern West Bank. The checkpoint separates Areas C and B, all the journalists are allowed to be on both sides by Israeli occupation law. They were held for an hour and a half in their car, while the IOF collected their documents. The IOF searched the car, going through personal items. The photographer later discovered that her underwear was removed from her bag, placed on top of their belongings.

The soldiers then illegally requested that the journalists hand in their phones, and when they refused, the soldiers pointed a gun at one of the journalists, hit him with their hands and the barrel of a gun, then dragged him out of the car and slammed him onto the concrete. When lying on the ground, they pointed 2 guns at his head. The rest of the journalists exited the car and the military raided it, confiscating phones, cameras, and personal items.

The journalists were told to sit in the sun, in 35°C heat on the side of the road. After an hour, the Palestinian journalist began to feel faint and requested an ambulance be ordered. The soldiers refused and didn’t let anyone move to the shade, shouting insults and Israeli nationalist slogans. After two hours, the soldiers handcuffed and blindfolded the journalists. The Israeli photographer had a panic attack and started throwing up, and after stating she was Israeli, was allowed to remain without a blindfold. The Palestinian journalist was left in the sun for two more hours, then he was released. In the meantime, the other four journalists were stacked on top of each other into a military jeep, and taken to a military base. There they were held blindfolded and handcuffed on the floor for two hours, while being insulted and interrogated by the soldiers. The soldiers told the female Israeli photographer that she should have been raped by Hamas.

At approximately 04.00 PM the IOF passed the illegally detained journalists to the police, who took them to the police station. The two male journalists remained blindfolded until arriving at the Maale Adumim Shai Police Station in an illegal Israeli settlement 1 hour later. At the station, the journalists were forced to be photographed in front of an Israeli flag with a nationalist slogan on it, while the officers were insulting them. A journalist was threatened with physical violence for smiling.

The journalists were interrogated in regards to their political affiliation and work, refused the right to see a lawyer, denied food and water until many repeated requests (the two male journalists were denied food completely). The two female journalists were released without charges at 11:00 PM. The Russian-Israeli journalist was released at midnight. The American journalist was held for three days and was released Friday, October 11th. The army confiscated two phones and one camera that they have yet to return.

This marks a precedent for IOF treatment of Israelis and internationals, but this is the standard procedure for kidnapping Palestinians across the West Bank.

Repost for the Rumble version, because fuck YouTube and Musk.

In an exclusive new documentary, Max Blumenthal rips the cover off the media deceptions and atrocity hoaxes Israel pushed after October 7 to create political space for its gruesome assault on the Gaza Strip. Blumenthal exposes the US mainstream media's role as a megaphone for the Israeli government, introducing new lies even after their initial ones were debunked.

Atrocity Inc raises serious questions about the official narrative of October 7, while revealing how Israel's army has consciously engaged in the same hideous atrocities which it falsely accused Palestinian militants of committing.

The topic is emotional for a lot of people, and I respect that, but please don't expect me to be emotional about the Middle Eastern conflicts, or to take sides enthusiastically. My sympathies are obvious — Lebanon is a friendly country (both to Russia and, well, in general), Hezbollah has been a good ally in Syria, the Syrian government is a close and important Russian ally, we have a complicated strategic partnership with Iran. Israel has decided to abandon its position as a reliable diplomatic partner in the region and instead chose to sever its (perhaps undeserved) ties to Russia and become as much of an adversary to us as its own strategic interests permit.

They have gone as far as sending aid to the Kiev regime and permitting/facilitating the arrival of IDF veterans to fight as mercenaries against Russia. They are also conspicuously silent about certain political trends in Kiev-controlled territories which they usually just love clamoring about when they happen in other countries.

Israel's conduct in Gaza and Lebanon has been barbaric to a degree that must arouse contempt in every civilized person, and objectively they are, and have been for quite some time, the sole agent of escalation.

However, acknowledging all of that does not at all imply that I feel any obligation to participate in pro-Axis of Resistance agitprop, and I don't appreciate being accused of Zionist sympathies simply for giving objective commentary. There are more than enough people who are doing that already; I care about Russian interests first and foremost, and, as time has passed and hardened all of our hearts, my compassion and humanity are mostly limited to the constitutional borders of the Russian Federation.

It is in the Russian interest to help its allies in the region, but it is also in the Russian interest to keep its mediating position — Moscow is the only power that has functional good faith diplomatic relationships with all factions involved in the conflict (from Hamas and Israel to Syria and Iran), and it should leverage that position to further its own strategic interests when possible.

It was an RFK rally, with Trump on the side. So yeah, guessing that the speakers were either selected or coached not to speak too much about the empire.

A few did, on specific topics, but of course the root cause was not addressed outside of Jimmy slipping in the control that zionists have over the entire US government.

It was way too short, but I'd bet that he got called over on the side right after he said it anyway. Zionists can't tolerate any mention of their crimes.

The most common myth about Zionism was that its purpose was to save Jews from persecution, suffering & destitution.

During the first few decades of Zionist immigration to Palestine, Zionist leaders in Palestine rejected ~61% of immigrant applicants.

The #1 reason for rejection? The applicants were too destitute & poor. Zionist leaders in Palestine like Arthur Ruppin & Menahem Sheinkin wanted wealthy, strong, single Jews to migrate to Palestine, in other words, they wanted Jews who didn't actually need a safe haven.

Those Jews who actually needed a safe haven, who lost their livelihoods in pogroms in Eastern Europe, they were the first ones rejected.

‘I was shocked to discover the level at which the safety work simply had not been done. Which has now been acknowledged by one of the leading proponents (Stanley Plotkin)…..

The mechanisms that are employed by vaccine manufacturers and the methods used to test or really to obscure safety signals make the products invalid from the get-go….

At the moment I discovered that we were using a trick to hyperactive the immune system in order to make the vaccine work my thought was how could that possibly be safe…. and what does that have to do with all the allergies we scratch our heads over.’

The antigen is non specific and can trigger the immune system to react to something that is not a pathogen like foods or something in the environment, causing life long allergies.

This is Donald Trump assassination attempt suspect Ryan Wesley Routh, he was interviewed by Newsweek Romania in 2022.

He’s a zealot for Ukraine war because he’s been fully propagandized by corporate media to support the war.

He has ZERO idea what the war is actually about, his mind is very childlike: “It’s a battle of good vs evil”, just like the corporate news told him.

That’s how propaganda works. That’s why i warned TYT about pushing Russiagate , it would lead to a war, and brainwashed guys like this.

He has no idea what the war is actually about , so when Trump & RFK say they want to END the war, he thinks the moral thing to do is assassinate Trump.

This is the direct result of corporate news & “independent” news repeating pro-war CIA talking points uncritically.

Full thread:

Would-be Trump shooter Ryan Routh has published a 291 page book, “Unwinnable War,” about his time in Ukraine’s Int’l Legion

Routh says he’d like to see Putin assassinated, seems to hope for Trump’s assassination as well, and calls for the US to “instigate” a nuclear war with Russia

Stating he’s neither a Democrat or Republican, Routh’s clearly articulated mindset toward Russia mirrors that of Beltway hardliners. He offers gushing admiration for Juan Guaido, the Free Syrian Army, Myanmar rebels, and other CIA backed forces, while hinting at a friendship with MSNBC natsec hack and fellow International Brigade member Malcolm Nance.

Ryan Routh calls for the assassination of Putin and Lukashenko of Belarus, arguing that their killing would bring on the demise of the Russian’s state’s viability as an independent power, as no one can succeed Putin

Routh urges the West to “instigate” a nuclear conflict with Russia and “strike first.” He wants a “quick and decisive and powerful blow to end it once and for all,” as the US did at the end of WWII.

Routh declares himself a political independent, neither Republican or Democrat, but clearly loathes Trump

In a rambling passage, Routh appears to fantasize about the assassination of Trump as punishment his unraveling of the Iran deal

Routh spills lots of ink complaining about the Ukrainian state’s waste and corruption. Here, he says it hampered the PR efforts of his International Legion comrade in arms in Kiev, “Malcolm,” who appears to be MSNBC natsec hack and wannabe freedom fighter Malcolm Nance

Not directly related but I'll just ask the question here in case anybody comes along with an idea for an answer:

Trump, Biden, Obama, Bush, Cheney, even Clinton the First, are all called by their last name.

Bernie, Clinton the Worst and Harris are all called by their first name (and I physically cannot bring myself to do it for the last two).

Why?

I get it for Bernie, he playacted as a friend of the working class and many of us got tricked by what turned out to be an absolute coward saying the words but not having the principles to go with it.

But why in the fuck would anybody call any of the other two cackling bitches by their first names? Neither of them is relatable to any regular person in any way, and the first-name basis is supposed to be based on familiarity.

Isn't this just a propaganda mechanism to make them feel more personable even though they're repellent criminals?

When even somebody like Max is following that pattern of calling them in that way, even though he's very well-versed in propaganda mechanisms, I wonder.

Is it a pet peeve or something more pernicious that should be thought about more often?

Full tweet:

Kamala's campaign manager has enthusiastically welcomed the endorsement of Dick Cheney, stating she "deeply respects his courage to put country over party.” So the Kamala 2024 deeply respects one of the most devious war criminals alive, and considers him courageous.

Dick Cheney disseminated fake intelligence linking Saddam Hussein to Al Qaeda, pushed the WMD hoax, and ordered the unmasking of Valerie Plame as an undercover CIA officer as retaliation for her husband, Amb. Joe Wilson, exposing the Bush administration's lie about Saddam obtaining enriched uranium from Niger. Cheney's machinations were aimed at guaranteeing a US invasion and occupation that wound up leaving one million Iraqis dead, brought ISIS to the region, and maimed or killed tens of thousands of Americans. The former VP simultaneously presided over a no-bid $7.5 billion contract in Iraq to Halliburton, where he served as CEO, and established a secret torture program that yielded worthless intel. To this day, he is not only unrepentant about his torture chambers, he's proud of them.

The Kamala campaign wants us to forget Cheney's record. We are supposed to see him as a hawkish but wise elder crossing the aisle for the good of "the Republic." The reality is Cheney did far more damage to the country and the world than Donald Trump has. It is such a colossal insult that Cheney is able to enjoy his twilight years in a mansion on Maryland's Eastern Shore, counting his money without ever having faced a trial for any of his titanic crimes, while Trump becomes the first former US president convicted of a felony – for concealing a measly payoff to a porn actor.

Cheney is supporting Kamala for the same reason as Bill Kristol, the McCain family, and an array of Bush era neocons: because she is an empty vessel for the post-9/11 security state, and will joyfully consolidate the Democrats as the party of endless war. The 1,160,000 shares of Halliburton stock Cheney received when he retired are also a likely part of his calculus.

Full tweet:

Is Israel conducting live human experimentation on Palestinians at Sde Teiman?

New testimonies of torture pour out of Israel's Sde Teiman torture camp each week. In a recent one, a Gaza physician said he was "suspended from a chain attached to handcuffs, electroshocked, denied medical care for broken ribs caused by beatings, and administered what he believed was a psychoactive drug before interrogations."

Another former detainee says a visibly bleeding prisoner told him “three soldiers took turns raping him with an M16 [assault rifle]."

The Israeli human rights group B'tselem documented similarly perverse examples of torture in its voluminous report, "Welcome to Hell: The Israeli Prison System as a Network of Torture Camps."

These reports build on video evidence of systemic gang rape by Israeli soldiers against male Palestinian prisoners.

The torture taking place inside apartheid Israel's archipelago of detention camps seems unprecedented in recent years, both in terms of volume and the level of sadism being applied. On Israel's Channel 12, a prominent pundit complained that the only problem with soldiers raping Palestinian prisoners is that the act has not been formally regulated.

But it is likely that Israel's post-October 7 torture regime has already been institutionalized. Which means that it is being monitored by medical professionals, and advised by psychologists, whose identities remain hidden from the public.

So the logical question is, are Israeli medical professionals studying the torture taking place in Sde Teiman and other dungeons for future application? In other words, is live human experimentation taking place on Palestinians who were kidnapped from Gaza? And will Israel export its methods to allies like the US after its work is done?

Japan's notorious Unit 731 practiced live human experimentation, including organ harvesting and biological weapons, on prisoners it kidnapped during World War II. After the war, the US gave immunity to Unit 731 researchers in exchange for the data they acquired through their vivisection and abuse of live prisoners. The US government not only covered up their crimes, it furnished the Japanese unit's veterans with stipends.

During the so-called war on terror, the CIA appointed Pentagon psychologists like James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen to devise and document the torture methods applied to 9/11 suspects like Abu Zubeidah and other detainees at the Gitmo black site. Mitchell and Jessen's company received over $80 million in contracts to preside over the CIA's post-9/11 torture regime. A lawsuit by Abu Zubaydah alleges Mitchell and Jessen were not seeking actionable intelligence, but rather, were using him as "a guinea pig for untested interrogation methods, laying the groundwork for what provided them a hugely lucrative contracting business to provide detention and interrogation personnel to the CIA and the US Defense Department."

This November, as Israel prepared to invade Gaza's Al-Shifa Hospital and kidnap its doctors, a group of more than 90 Jewish Israeli physicians authored a letter declaring their support for attacks on Palestinian hospitals. Among those who signed the letter branding Gazan hospitals as "terror nests" were several Israeli pediatricians.

Israel is a comprehensively sick society whose economy has thrived off the exportation of weapons and methods of repression tested on the occupied Palestinian population over an almost eight decade span. Investigators must now ask whether Tel Aviv is repeating the most heinous crimes of history, advancing the legacy of Japan's Unit 731, the Nazi doctor Josef Mengele, and Mitchell and Jessen behind the walls of its torture camps.

Would be nice. Way too much has already been lost along the way because of the nazionists, so at the very least this should be part of the end result.
