Pro-Palestine Jewish activists occupy Wall Street
from RT
Hundreds of pro-Palestine Jewish activists have taken to Wall Street in New York to protest against US support for what they call Israel’s “genocide” in Gaza. Scores of demonstrators have been arrested, police say.
A group of protesters wearing red shirts and holding banners reading “Jews say stop arming Israel” and “Gaza bombed, Wall Street Booms” gathered outside the New York Stock Exchange on Monday. Other slogans included “Fund FEMA not genocide,” in reference to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which has been grappling with the aftermath of two recent hurricanes that struck the southeastern US.
The demonstration, organized by Jewish Voices for Peace, drew an estimated 500 people. The New York Police Department said it took 206 people into custody after protesters breached a security fence. Clips from social media show activists conducting a sit-down protest, with officers dragging some of them away, and with no signs of clashes or active resistance...

Nicaraguan president compares Netanyahu to Hitler
from RT
Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega has slammed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, comparing both politicians to Nazi Germany’s Adolf Hitler.
Ortega made the remarks on Monday at an event to mark the 45th anniversary of the Nicaraguan police. In his speech, the president blasted Netanyahu, comparing his policies to those of the Nazis.
“At the head of the Israeli government there is a prime minister who is the son of the devil. Why? Because he practices a policy of terror and is Hitler,” Ortega said.
He also lashed out at Israel’s Western backers, saying the actions of the EU nations and the US are bound to either “lead the planet to a total war” or result in their complete defeat...

Musk spent $1bn on coup attempt – Maduro
from RT
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has accused tech tycoon Elon Musk of “investing” at least $1 billion in inciting violence in the South American country after the presidential election earlier this year.
Maduro was declared the winner of the July 28 poll by the national election authorities, though the US claimed that victory had been stolen from opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez.
During his weekly television program on Monday, Maduro alleged to have direct knowledge that Musk – with whom he has been engaged in a long-running public feud – had spent “no less than $1 billion” on “the coup d’etat, the fascist outbreak, the violence against the electoral process in Venezuela.”
The Venezuelan leader named his political opponent, businesswoman Maria Corina Machado, as the distributor of the alleged funding to “fascist” groups, claiming that the US government was ultimately behind attempts to oust him from power...
Musk has previously expressed support for removing foreign governments
in pursuit of his corporate interests. In July 2020, he was challenged
online with a claim that Washington had orchestrated a coup against
Bolivian President Evo Morales so that his electric car company, Tesla,
could secure access to the country’s rich lithium reserves. Musk
responded with a post: “We will coup whoever we want! Deal with it.”...

from PressTV
Israel’s incessant bombardment of Gaza, including Jabalia in the north, has killed at least 55 more Palestinians.
Gaza’s Ministry of Health said on Tuesday more than 300 had also been injured in the past 24 hours.
In one of the regime’s most devastating attacks on Gaza, an entire family was killed in the bombing of their home near the southern city of Khan Yunis. Mahmoud Basal, the spokesman for the Palestinian Civil Defense in Gaza, said seven of those killed belonged to the Sayed family. He said their bodies were buried in their family home.
About a dozen Palestinians were murdered by the regime’s warplanes near the Jabalia refugee camp.

UK imposes new sanctions against illegal Israeli settlers in West Bank
from Daily Sabah
The British government announced a new set of sanctions against three illegal Israeli settler outposts and four groups for committing violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, as it called on Israel to crack down on abuses against Palestinians and the expansion of illegal settlements on Palestinian land.
Foreign Secretary David Lammy said that the Israeli government's "inaction... has allowed an environment of impunity to flourish where settler violence has been allowed to increase unchecked."
The sanctions are the third imposed by London targeting those involved in settler violence since February.
The organizations listed are a religious school Od Yosef Chai Yeshiva, the Hashomer Yosh NGO, the charity Torat Lechima and Amana, a construction company...

Novichok the NOOB Weapon is Back
They always dust off old propaganda thinking we will be too lazy to debunk it a SECOND TIME. Well, wrong again folks. Novichok was a fraud in the '80s. It was a fraud in 2018. And today guess what? It's still a fraud. It never existed. That's been proven. And a few of us are still around with the will and the time to kill to expose it once more... for old time's sake.
Novichok is Back: And BETTER than EVER
by Scott Creighton (H/T T)
A bunch of links for my NOVICHOK video.
'The vial opened by Dawn Sturgess before her death had "enough poison to kill thousands" of people, an inquiry was told.
Former spy Sergei Skripal also told the hearing he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin was behind a plan to poison him with the nerve agent Novichok.
An inquiry is being held into the death of Ms Sturgess, 44, who was killed by poison which was left in a discarded perfume bottle in Wiltshire in 2018.
Mr Skripal and his daughter Yulia were seriously injured when members of a Russian military intelligence squad are believed to have smeared the nerve agent on his door handle.
“I never thought the Russian regime would try to murder me in Great Britain," he told the inquiry in a written statement.
What have we heard today?
- Counsel to the inquiry, Andrew O'Connor KC, described Sturgess as an "innocent victim, in the crossfire of an illegal and outrageous assassination attempt"
- He added that the nerve agent, that was found in a perfume bottle used by Sturgess, held enough to kill thousands
- The family of Dawn Sturgess has called for Putin to give evidence at the inquiry and look the "family in the eyes"
- Michael Mansfield KC spoke for the Sturgess family. He says Wiltshire Police decided Sturgess and partner Charlie Rowley were suffering from drug overdoses, which had an effect on their medical treatment
- Charlie Rowley continues to suffer from long term injuries such as problems with his vision, balance and memory, says Adam Straw KC, representing the Sturgess family
Russia has denied involvement in the death and said the inquiry is a "circus".
The Skripals will not give evidence in person to the public inquiry, due to concerns for their safety.'
