Gonna make a prediction here. The next time a country upsets Israel, something bad is gonna happen in that country and then we're gonna find out an Israeli company was in charge of whichever safety system failed. If this happens, it will be a total coincidence.

For those who are unaware, Israel kills approximately 8–10 innocent people in Gaza every single day, purely for amusement.

a reminder that Israel is not a real country. It doesn't have declared borders. It doesn't have a constitution. Its population does not have family roots in the land prior to the modern advent of zionism. They don't have a native culture, native food, dance, or stories.
Israel is literally the greatest heist of the 20th century that expelled an ancient society and turned their land into a jewish supremacist military outpost murdering its way through time, and constantly cobbling together new stories about itself to suit the latest political whims, while destroying everything that threatens their latest flimsy narrative.
God and the Bible have nothing to do with this abominable entity. They're not "chosen." They're not "a light." They're the biggest and most dangerous charlatans the world has ever known.
That was not a democratic election. It was another act in this absurd theatre we're all forced to endure.

HE IS FUCKING DEAD, HELEN.
And still, apparently, you cannot summon the basic decency to acknowledge that the allegations of plagiarism were repeatedly investigated and never substantiated.
Instead, we are treated to this grotesque little exercise in intellectual taxidermy, where you stuff the corpse of an allegation with qualifications, technicalities and insinuations, then parade it around as though it were still alive.
Who the fuck is arguing that Jason Arday never made a mistake? Who is claiming that his work was beyond criticism? You're inventing an argument nobody needs to make because acknowledging the actual findings would require something rather more difficult: admitting that the people making these accusations might have been wrong.
There is something utterly repugnant about watching people who pride themselves on intellectual rigour suddenly discover an inexhaustible appetite for ambiguity whenever the evidence fails to vindicate their suspicions.
And now the man is dead. His family is grieving. Yet the reputational autopsy continues, conducted by people apparently terrified that acknowledging the findings might deprive them of the last fucking word.
This is not courageous journalism. It is moral cowardice dressed up as scholarly fastidiousness.
Have some fucking shame.

Every country the US has attacked in the 21st century, and every president who authorized the attacks.

Your reminder Bandera was a Ukrainian Nazi responsible for the massacre of tens of thousands of Polish and Jewish civilians in WWII.
We just gave Ukraine £10 billion.

Just 6 local councillors out of ~1,300 in total have left the Greens as a result of 'Zionism is Racism', less than 0.5%. Hardly a "significant rift" or a "split".
As an interesting side note, all 6 of them are white men.

Chad Johnson made $49 million in the NFL, lived inside the Bengals' stadium for his first two years so he wouldn't have to pay rent, and to this day won't pay somebody to do his daughter's hair. He does it himself.
He said it on air and his co-hosts flat out didn't believe him.
Funny clip, but the money part is the smartest thing in it.
Economists at the NBER looked at every player drafted between 1996 and 2003, about 2,000 guys. The typical one made $3.2 million in the league, which is more than most college grads earn in their whole lives. And 15.7% of them still filed for bankruptcy within 12 years of retiring. That's about the same rate as regular Americans their age.
Here's what got me. Guys who played longer and made way more money didn't go bankrupt any less often. A ten-year vet with a big second contract was about as likely to end up broke as somebody who washed out after three seasons.
Ocho figured that out at 23. He wore fake jewelry from Claire's, leased his exotic cars instead of buying them, and flew budget airlines while he was making Pro Bowls. He says he saved 83% of everything he made.
Kids' braids at a salon run anywhere from $40 to $200, and they need redoing every six weeks or so, so one kid's hair can cost you over a thousand bucks a year. His line on the show was "I eliminate all expenses... I do hair, nails, makeup." This from the guy who couldn't get over Shannon spending $10,000 on a Pomeranian.
Fourteen years out of the league, he owns three McDonald's, and he's still doing braids at home to dodge a salon bill. That's what keeping your money actually looks like.

Trump is reportedly planning to restart war with Iran after the election.
Some of us have been briefed on the war plan. And while I cannot disclose any details, I can say this: the plan is insane. It will not achieve objectives and will set off a new cycle of escalation.

Join the strike
NEW: On Friday, dockworkers at 111 ports in 22 countries and regions on five continents will stop work in a coordinated strike against war, according to the most recent information from the organizing unions.
More than 25 dockworkers’ unions have now signed on, from Marseille to Mumbai, Hamburg to Montevideo, Melbourne to Oakland. Days ago the count stood at about 100 ports in 17 countries, and that figure doesn’t include the dozens of unions in other sectors that have pledged support. Their demand is simple: no weapons and no military cargo through their ports. Nearly everything the world ships passes through the docks, and without the workers who load and unload it, nothing moves.
In France, the main dockers’ union says the country’s ports will be 95% shut. Italy, India, Greece and Turkey face 24-hour strikes, and Morocco and Cyprus will see stoppages of up to two hours, with rallies planned in port cities around the world. In Greece, metalworkers, ship-repair workers and young people are joining the dockers, and in the US, ILWU Local 10 is striking in Oakland and San Francisco. The unions are working from the Istanbul Declaration, signed in May, with each one deciding for itself how to take part. They are also fighting for their own jobs, against cuts from automation and for contracts, raises, shorter hours and safety.
The unions point to escalating wars in Ukraine and the Middle East and the danger of a generalized war. They condemn Israel’s new crimes in Hebron, carried out with the backing of the US, NATO and the EU. Israel’s lockdown of the city is now in its sixth day, with more than 3,000 Palestinians displaced, according to the UN. Palestinian unions have endorsed Friday’s action.
In Italy, the fight has spilled beyond the docks. The union USB has called for a nationwide general strike. Last night, the Italian government ordered transport workers back on the job last night. USB said it would defy the order and accept the steep penalties.
The unions are calling on workers and young people everywhere to stand with the dockworkers, saying “Ports for peace and the peoples, not launching pads for war.”
I’m reporting from Calabria, Italy, and I will be in Genoa tomorrow ahead of the strike to report on the ground during the mobilzation.

Really unfortunate coincidence how these accidents keep happening when countries upset Israel and their computer/security contracts are with Israel. It's inexplicable.
BREAKING: 🇪🇸 At least 68 people have died and 80 others injured after a train crash in Spain.
Investigators say it’s due to an “inexplicable” safety error after a “widespread computer communications failure.”
It’s the THIRD train crash in Spain this year.
ISRAEL warned Spain they would pay a “heavy price” and for some reason an Israeli railway cyber firm recruited Spain’s former railway safety chief/transport secretary… 🤔
May God rest their souls and bring ease to their families 🙏🏼

I don't understand countries who continue to use Israeli software. Everybody knows what's up, so they must be in on it.
