Wikileaks Honeypot Continues to Shut Down Whistleblowers With Stella's Cryptic Warning

by Scott Creighton

'Stella Assange: "I hope journalists and editors and publishers everywhere realise the danger of the US case against Julian that criminalises, that has secured a conviction for, newsgathering and publishing information that was true...

That precedent now can and will be used in the future against the rest of the press.' Wikileaks

Uh, that's not really how it works. Just because #FatAssange copped a plea deal, the legal precedent isn't officially set in stone Stella. 

But so obvious of you and yours to say so since your husband's purpose since the very beginning of Why-KEY-Leaks has been to shut down whistleblowers like the ones who shared the Abu Ghraib images all those years ago.

Gee I wonder why no one from the Guardian, New York Times and Der Spiegel never had any issues after they ACTUALLY PUBLISHED all those Why-KEY-Leaks St. Julian just copped a plea to?

This does not set a precedent. Stella the bad actress doesn't know what she is talking about. If you have something that needs to be seen, get it to a REAL leak publishing website. Stella is just trying her best to appease the same masters her hubby worked for.

Fat Assange the Tortured Needs MONEY!!!!

by Scott Creighton

 

Fat Assange the Tortured needs MONEY!!! So, like DSP before him, it's time to E-BEG and E-BEG HARD!!!

'Dear Supporter', read an email. 'The flight comes at enormous cost: Julian will owe $520,000 (£409,000). In addition, and after 14 years of detention, including five years in maximum security prison, Julian's health is in dire need of recovery.

'We are launching an emergency appeal to seek donations to help him… every contribution counts.'

You can't expect St. Julian of Assange to fly commercial can you? How can he get closer to God like that!? He needs the hand-stiched leather seats of this thing to sit his fat ass on while flying to CIA-Land in Saipan.

 

See that? He just needs a mere 1/2 million bucks for ONE FLIGHT. For everyone else it would cost one way about $5,091. But St Julian of Assange isn't everyone else. He's SPECIAL DAMNIT!!!

So his wife wants YOU to pony up the money for him to travel in style... in spite of the fact that it had ALREADY BEEN PAID FOR (of course it had... no airline private or not is going to let you fly first and maybe pay later)

'An anonymous donor has significantly contributed to the cause of Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, by covering almost the entire cost of his travel expenses as he transitioned from detainment to freedom. This donation of 8 Bitcoin (BTC), valued at nearly $497,000 at current market rates, nearly fulfills the total appeal of $520,000 outlined by Assange’s family.' Bitcoinist

It had already been paid for before little Miss Saintly put the tip jar out there for the marks to fill to the brim with their hard earned money. I mean she has to feed the saintly one now herself and apparently Julian's been eating pretty well between all those torture sessions.

"They Ruined his LIIIIIIIIIIIFE!' screeches the Assange Karen across the Griftoverse.

Ruined his life? Please, ruin my life like that. I can barely afford a Lyft ride to the doctor.

Pro-Israel lobbies unseat Democratic lawmaker over criticism of Israel

from PressTV

Pro-Israel lobbies have ousted an outspoken critic of the occupying Israeli regime in US Democratic primary in suburban New York in yet another indication of support for the illegal entity in its months-long devastating war on Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.

American media reports said on Tuesday that congressman Jamaal Bowman lost a primary challenge to his Democratic rival, George Latimer, who had entered the race at the urging of local Jewish leaders over Bowman’s vocal criticism of Israel and its genocidal war in Gaza.

With more than 70% of votes counted on Tuesday evening, Latimer had won nearly 56% of the vote, compared with 44% for Bowman.

“This movement has always been about justice. It has always been about humanity. It has always been about equality,” Bowman, who had been seeking a third term, said at his election party in Yonkers, conceding that he lost the race but remaining unapologetic about his opposition to the war in Gaza.

Various groups spent $24.8 million in the race, making it the most expensive House of Representatives primary in history...

Julian's Last "prison cell"

by Scott Creighton

Just some notes:

 

RT video

dsafg

Capitol Hill (Former Japanese name: 中山, Nakayama; sometimes spelled Capital Hill,^[2] formerly Army Hill under the United States Navy^[3]) is a settlement (sometimes termed a village or district) on the island of Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands.^[4][5][6] It has a population of just over 1,000.^[1] Capitol Hill has been the territory's seat of government since 1962. It lies on the cross-island road between Tanapag and San Vicente.

Capitol Hill was built in 1948 by the Central Intelligence Agency as a base for covert training of Nationalist Chinese guerrillas.^[7]

The area is home to various government departments and agencies:

• Governor's Office
• Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Legislature Building
• US Post Office
• Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Department of Commerce
• Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Workforce Investment Agency
• Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Council for Arts and Culture

---

The Kuomintang (KMT),^[I] also referred to as the Guomindang (GMD),^[11] the Nationalist Party of China (NPC)^[12] or the Chinese Nationalist Party (CNP),^[1] is a major political party in the Republic of China, initially based on the Chinese mainland and then in Taiwan since 1949. The KMT is a centre-right to right-wing party...

From 1949 to 1987, the KMT ruled Taiwan as an authoritarian one-party state after the February 28 incident. During this period, martial law was in effect and civil liberties were curtailed as part of its anti-communism efforts, with the period known as the White Terror.

Yep. Just so happens Julian is going to this island to make his deal, an island rebuilt by the CIA to house and train deathsquads from the old White Terror days in Taiwan when they used the Nationalist Chinese to try to regime change China. Which is kinda where he started in the first place.

UPDATE: NYT picks today to debut their NEW POLL TRACKER. heeheehee

 

Abu Ghraib. That's why.

We were walking on the Dark Side according to Dick Cheney. Had to do bad stuff for right reasons said Obama later.

Then Abu Ghraib got leaked and folks saw what they were talking about so.. had to do something. What could they do?

Oh I know.. set up a trendy, fashionable leak site where everyone would go with their stuff, a honey pot lets say, and they could squash the leaks before being published.

That's a plan.

In January 2007, John Young was dropped from the WikiLeaks network after questioning plans for a multimillion-dollar fundraising goal.^[65] He accused the organisation of being a CIA conduit and published 150 pages of WikiLeaks emails.^[59][66][67]

Young of Cryptom, real leak website, never helped Assange and his Hong Kong based regime change assets set up Wikileaks. Assange just told folks that for clout.

In the early days they said they wanted to focus on bringing down authoritarian regimes... like China. Specifically China.  John Bolton couldn't have said it better.

But that wasn't Wikileaks genesis. Abu Ghraib was.

Assange’s “The World Tomorrow” is Worse Than I Could Have Possibly Imagined (archive)

(archived from April 30, 2012)

by Scott Creighton

This is controlled opposition taken to a whole new level.

I am currently working on a review of the first two episodes of Julian Assange’s new propaganda show called “The World Tomorrow” so what follows the break is just a sneak peak of what I am writing.

I have to say after finally forcing myself to watch the first two episodes that it’s far worse than I could have possibly imagined. Let’s get ready to round up the “international leftists” for American and Israel and do away with that silly “social safety net” that’s messing up all those lovely profits for the billionaires and crashing the economies of Europe and America… I kid you not.

An Open Letter to Glenn Greenwald on the Subject of Wikileaks: Just… Stop. (archive)

(archived from January 1, 2011)

by Scott Creighton

Glenn;

I just took a look at your website and I haven’t seen a journalist obsess over an obviously fabricated news story like you are doing with Wikileaks since the Duke Lacrosse team rape case or Andrew Sullivan’s breathless blogging about the now discredited “tweets” coming out of Israel dealing with the staged Green Revolution in Iran. That’s really bad company to be in, Glenn.

You know Glenn, you have a total of 3 articles on your site since Nov. 30th that don’t directly deal with Julian Assange and of course none of them, none, are in any way critical of anything that he has done. Though his behavior has certainly been highly suspect as of late.

Glenn, you’ve gone well beyond biased journalism and are now delving into the realm of panicked hero-worship.  It seems like the more obvious Assange’s agenda becomes, the angrier you get when people start taking notice and questioning his behavior. To that end, I am sure it isn’t going to be too long before you start quoting Abe Foxman and claiming that anyone who questions Julian’s integrity is an anti-Semite. I mean, your material is starting to look that thin and quite frankly, that desperate.

I’m not going to attempt to relate to you the questionable history of Wikileaks; how Cass Sunstein and other establishment journalists were writing about Wikileaks before they even posted one single leak (which is typically what Mockingbird operators would do to help promote the illusion of credibility for another Mockingbird operation) or how one of the original members of that group pulled out and said it looked like a CIA operation at the time. 

I’m not going to insult you by suggesting you haven’t done your research.

Assange Agrees to Plead Guilty in Exchange for Release, Ending Standoff With U.S.

(the penalty for simply disclosing state secrets is up to 10 years plus major fine. He supposedly gets time served for 5 and no fine. But that is only for disclosing state secrets, not disclosing them and illegally obtaining them, which are separate crimes. Saint Julian got a hell of a sweet hart deal. But wait? I thought they were going to kill him? I thought they were going to make an example out of him?!? Gee I wonder where he has actually been all this time)

 

from the NYT

Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, agreed to plead guilty on Monday to a single felony count of illegally obtaining and disclosing national security material in exchange for his release from a British prison, ending his long and bitter standoff with the United States.

Mr. Assange, 52, was granted his request to appear before a federal judge at one of the more remote outposts of the federal judiciary, the courthouse in Saipan, the capital of the Northern Mariana Islands, according to a brief court filing made public late Monday. He is expected to be sentenced to about five years, the equivalent of the time he has already served in Britain, according to a law enforcement official familiar with the terms of the agreement.

It was a fitting final twist in the case against Mr. Assange, who doggedly opposed extradition to the U.S. mainland. The islands are a United States commonwealth in the middle of the Pacific Ocean — and much closer to Mr. Assange’s native Australia, where he is a citizen, than courts in the continental United States or Hawaii.

Shortly after the deal was disclosed, WikiLeaks said that Mr. Assange had left London. Mr. Assange is scheduled to appear in Saipan at 9 a.m. local time on Wednesday and is expected to fly back to Australia “at the conclusion of the proceedings,” Matthew J. McKenzie, an official in the Justice Department’s counterterrorism division, wrote in a letter to the judge in the case...

UN deplores Israel ‘lawless behavior' as EU says Gaza crisis at ‘breaking point’

from PressTV

The UN human rights office has decried the Israeli regime’s “lawless behavior” in the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank amid a genocidal war and incessant aggression by the regime.

The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) issued the condemnation in a statement on Sunday.

It singled out for criticism a recent Israeli raid against the al-Shati refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip, which killed at least 24 Palestinians.

Such “attacks appear to be disproportionate in that they would be expected to cause incidental loss of civilian life, injury to civilians, and damage to civilian objects excessive in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated,” the office said.

Nearly 37,600 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed and over 86,000 others sustained injuries in the Israeli war against the coastal sliver that began on October 7 following a retaliatory operation staged by the territory’s resistance groups...

Meryl Nass Promotes Disgusting Zionist RFK Jr. on Her Substack Page

by Scott Creighton

Well this is disgusting.

'Do you want to see Bobby Kennedy in the Presidential debates?'

Meryl Nass, someone who I suggested you guys follow, recently published a short article seemingly asking a rather innocuous question. Harmless even. Why not let him debate? More voices, right? Just like the slick video ad says. What harm can come of that?

Then she goes on to seemingly endorse the rabid, raving racist Zionist for president because, as she puts it, 'no one is perfect'

'Bobby Kennedy is another option. He is not perfect (who is?) but he is smart, and despite never holding office he knows the system and the swamp very well. He is the only candidate who can exit us from the era of pandemics and experimental shots that are almost certainly (?) planned.

He is the only candidate who cares about improving the quality of our food and water and saving us from the GMO--lab-grown meat—insect diet the elites are planning. Like these. Pick your future.' Meryl Nass

'Almost' certainly?

He's not perfect. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Hold your nose and vote.

Blah blah blah.

US Supported Ukrainian Neo-Nazi Azov Battalion Since 2023 Despite Ban - Report

(Yeah, we fund and train Nazis in Israel to run the Salvador Option on the people of Gaza, so why not fund and train real Nazis in Ukraine? apparently it's legal now.)

from Sputnik News

 

 The Ukrainian neo-Nazi Azov Battalion* received US assistance in 2023 despite official bans from Washington, the Intercept reports.

"A photo, posted by the [Azov] unit itself (...) seems to suggest that the US was providing support as far back as December of last year," the article has stated.

 

The photo in question was published on social media and included an Azov commander with a certificate dated December 2023 for military training under US Special Operations Command in Europe. Beside him is a person in American military attire with a concealed face. Another image shows individuals in military gear holding a US flag next to people with an Azov emblem flag.

 

These photos question the enforcement of the ban. Former US officials also expressed doubts about the State Department's decision, given the complex reorganization and official status of the unit. The State Department should have better explained its decisions, the publication noted.

 

Last week, The Washington Post reported that the US lifted an arms embargo on Azov. According to the media, this unit "passed Leahy vetting," which prohibits military aid to foreign units involved in severe human rights abuses. The State Department said it found "no evidence" of such violations. The State Department declined to clarify when the ban was lifted or if Azov militants received US weapons...

Israeli tanks move near Rafah's Mawasi camp day after killing 47

from Daily Sabah

Israeli tanks closed in on the Mawasi camp for displaced Palestinians in southern Gaza's Rafah on Sunday after killing at least 47 people in overnight airstrikes.

Images of two Israeli tanks stationed on a hilltop overlooking the coastal area went viral on social media, but Reuters could not independently verify them.

"The fighting with the resistance has been intense. The occupation forces are overlooking the Mawasi area now, which forced families there to head for Khan Younis," said one resident, who asked not to be named, on a chat app.

More than eight months into Israel's genocidal war on Gaza, its advance is focused on the two areas its forces have yet to seize: Rafah on Gaza's southern tip and the area surrounding Deir al-Balah in the center.

Residents said Israeli tanks had pushed deeper into western and northern Rafah in recent days, blowing up dozens of houses.

White House fears Netanyahu visit – Politico

(What do you mean you can't trust an Israeli?)

from RT

The White House is reportedly becoming increasingly concerned that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could use his upcoming speech in the US Congress to publicly criticize President Joe Biden and his administration’s response to Israel’s war in Gaza. 

Netanyahu is set to address a joint session of Congress next month, and “no one knows what he’s going to say,” an unnamed US official told Politico on Saturday. 

Earlier this week, the Israeli leader posted a video accusing Washington of “withholding weapons and ammunition to Israel” for several months, calling it “inconceivable.” Netanyahu defended his public criticism as “absolutely necessary after months of quiet conversation that did not solve the problem,” in an interview published on Friday.

The claim “was not helpful at all,” and Netanyahu “could make it far worse up there in front of Congress,” another senior official reportedly told the outlet. Politico added that the speech could create a “diplomatically complicated and politically dicey spectacle for a president running for reelection.”...

‘Human shielding in action’: Israeli forces strap Palestinian man to jeep

(The IDF has been caught doing this cowardly shit so many times it barely even makes the news anymore. Google image of CHILD strapped to hood of IDF jeep in front of the driver so the coward driving the jeep would be safe. Fucking animals. Fucking IDF Orcs.)

from al Jazeera

Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank have tied a wounded Palestinian man to the hood of a military vehicle during a raid on the city of Jenin, appearing to use him as a human shield.

A video posted online on Saturday, and verified by Al Jazeera, showed Mujahed Azmi, a Palestinian resident of Jenin, strapped to a military jeep that passes by two ambulances.

The family of Azmi told the Reuters news agency that Israeli forces carried out an arrest raid in Jenin, during which he was wounded.

When the family asked for an ambulance, the military took Azmi, strapped him onto the hood of their jeep and drove off.

Abdulraouf Mustafa, a Palestinian ambulance driver, said the Israeli soldiers refused to hand over Azmi to them.

“The jeep passed by and the wounded man was on the hood,” Mustafa told Al Jazeera. “One arm was tied to the windshield and the arm was on his abdomen. They drove past us. They refused to give us the patient.”...

At least four killed in Israeli air strike on UNRWA aid centre in Gaza

from al Jazeera

At least four people have been killed in an Israeli air attack near an aid centre that was the main headquarters of the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) in the Gaza Strip.

The air strike on Sunday hit the main gate of the organisation’s compound in Gaza City in the north of the enclave, injuring multiple Palestinians. The facility is used to distribute the little humanitarian aid that gets into Gaza.

Hundreds of people displaced by the Israeli military’s ground invasion of Gaza were sheltering inside the facility at the time of the incident.

A Palestinian woman at the scene told Al Jazeera that she saw many dead bodies and that two of her children were injured in the attack.

“What did these innocent children do wrong? They are running from death towards death. Young men and women are slaughtered by the Israelis,” she said...

Violence erupts as Israeli police clash with anti-regime protesters

(They want him gone. They want him out. The worst prime minister in the history of Israel they are calling him. All because he wont stop killing civilians in Gaza and wasting IDF lives just to keep his grip on power. Netanyahu is done.)

from PressTV

Clashes have broken out between the Israeli police and anti-regime protesters in Tel Aviv and across the occupied territories, with demonstrators demanding new elections and a prisoner exchange deal with the Palestinian resistance group Hamas.

Tens of thousands of Israelis in Tel Aviv and al-Quds joined in a massive wave of protests against the regime on Saturday night.

The demonstrators railed against prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet's refusal to negotiate with the Palestinian resistance group toward enabling the release of the Israeli captives held in Gaza.

After the main rally ended, a group of protesters remained on site, blocking the road by setting tires ablaze.

Police on horseback were captured on video pushing through crowds of protesters, causing chaos as some individuals were shoved around while others attempted to intervene and prevent further harm. Three protesters were arrested.

Former Shin Bet chief Yuval Diskin slammed Netanyahu during his speech at the protest in Tel Aviv, denouncing him as “the worst and most failed prime minister” in the history of the regime. He called for elections at the earliest possible opportunity...

Israel pounds north Gaza after attack on southern al-Mawasi ‘safe zone’

from al Jazeera

The Israeli military has launched attacks across the Gaza Strip after an assault on a tent camp in al-Mawasi in the south killed at least 25 people, according to Palestinian officials.

On Saturday, at least 42 Palestinians were killed by Israeli attacks on the Shati refugee camp and the Tuffah neighbourhood in Gaza City, the head of Gaza’s Government Media Office told Al Jazeera.

Reporting from Deir el-Balah, in central Gaza, Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum said the Israeli military targeted a residential neighbourhood in the Shati refugee camp, where displaced Palestinians from the north of the territory were told to seek refuge.

“Rescuers with the help of civilians are trying to sift through the rubble to find survivors,” he said. “The casualties arriving at Al-Aqsa Hospital are surging.”

Gaza’s civil defence spokesperson Mahmoud Basal said it was “very difficult” to reach victims in Shati.

“Israel is reattacking areas that it had operated in, despite its previous announcement that it managed to control militarily the northern part of Gaza,” Abu Azzoum reported...

Israeli strike on camp for displaced kills 25, injures 50 in Rafah

At least 25 Palestinians were killed, and 50 others were wounded after Israel carried out strikes on tents providing shelter to displaced people in Al-Mawasi, Rafah on Friday.

In a statement, the Health Ministry in Gaza said the death toll from the Israeli attack on tents in the Al-Mawasi area rose to 25, with 50 others injured.

Earlier, medical sources told Anadolu Agency (AA) that rescue teams recovered the bodies of 18 victims and provided treatment to 35 injured people after Israeli tanks targeted the displaced persons' camp.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society confirmed the incident in a statement, noting that its medical teams are "handling a large number of casualties following the Israeli shelling in the area."

No wonder he got his Order of the British Empire. He’s been stoking these flames a very long time.

And his fellow criminal, Dr. Peter Horby, Principal Investigator of the RECOVERY trial, who is only responsible for overdosing 1600 hospitalized patients of whom 400 died, was with Farrar in Vietnam 20 years ago to start up bird flu fear porn. He was made a Knight Bachelor for his services to eugenics in the UK in 2021.

Someone Sent Me This

Insidious huh?

The same reader who told me when Why-KEY-Leaks came out, as a government contractor, everyone had to sign a document saying they would never go to the website. I figured they did that to keep valuable government contractors from being caught in the honeypot trap.

But most likely they did that to plant the Wikileaks seed in their minds so they would go there if they had anything they wanted to leak.

“CISA is on the floor of the Senate! We need a CRISIS to get them to vote for it!!!”

 

 

The new CISPA, CISA, is on the floor in the Senate right this minute and about to be voted on. It’s the new cyber security bill that promises to hand over control of collection all of your information and storing it to Big Business… it’s basically the definition of fascist surveillance state. This bill makes is so Big Business can collect your data, sell your data, analyze your data, predict your behavior based on that data, share it with Big Brother and even take steps to minimize the risk you pose to the New World Order of theirs all on their own with built in immunity for fucking your life up.

It’s the “gold standard” of the fascist control grid as Hillary Clinton might call it and it is EXTREMELY unpopular with the people of this country.

“The privacy-killing law CISA — which gives legal immunity to corporations when they share your private data with the U.S. government — is back on the Senate floor after Internet activists have successfully delayed it many times. This could be our last chance to stop it for good.”Boing Boing

We already got part of the new CISPA in the USA “Freedom” Act thanks to the “Edward Snowden” psyop and Glenn Greenwald helping manufacture a crisis they could use to pass it.

Now it’s Wikileaks’ turn I suppose.

Zelensky bans another Ukrainian opposition party

from RT

A Ukrainian court has banned the Nash Krai (Our Land) political party and ordered the seizure of its assets at the request of the Ministry of Justice. The move is the latest in a crackdown on the opposition under Vladimir Zelensky’s administration.

A panel of judges from the Eighth Administrative Court of Appeal issued the ruling on Wednesday, according to a statement.

“The court satisfied the claims of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine: the activities of the political party Nash Krai were banned; the property, funds and other assets of the party, its regional, city, district organizations, primary cells and other structural units were transferred to the state,” the statement read.

The party was registered in August 2011 as the ‘Bloc Party’ and was renamed ‘Nash Krai’ in 2014. From 2015, the party positioned itself as a “group of local leaders and businessmen” who aimed to avoid political games and intrigue, according to RBK Ukraine. Only three of its members were elected to the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian parliament) as independents in 2019, but the party gained some 1,694 seats in regional administrations during local elections in 2020.

Following the escalation with Russia in February 2022, Zelensky banned major political competition, including Opposition Platform – For Life (OPZZh), the second biggest party in terms of seats in the Verkhovna Rada. He also cracked down on the media, shutting down multiple television channels associated with his political opponents and consolidating nine of the largest TV networks into a single 24-hour state-run broadcast dubbed ‘Telemarathon’.

Zelensky’s presidential term expired on May 20, although he chose not to hold elections under the pretext of martial law imposed after the beginning of the conflict with Russia...

Bird flu spread raises global pandemic alarm

from Daily Sabah

Surging cases of bird flu among mammals, including U.S. cattle, offer a stark warning that the world is not ready to fend off future pandemics, a report said, urging leaders to act quickly.

More than four years since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, politicians are "gambling through neglect" by not putting enough money or effort into avoiding a repeat of the disaster, the report said.

The bird flu H5N1 has been increasingly spreading to mammals, including cattle in farms across the U.S. and a few humans, prompting fears the virus could spark a future pandemic.

"If H5N1 began to spread from person to person, the world would likely again be overwhelmed," the report's co-author and former New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark told a news conference.

It could even be "more disastrous, potentially, than COVID-19," Clark said...

UN rights office accuses Israel of violating laws of war in Gaza

from Daily Sabah

The U.N. human rights office on Wednesday accused Israeli forces of repeatedly violating fundamental principles of the laws of war in their military campaign on Gaza.

In a report assessing six Israeli attacks that caused a high number of casualties and destruction of civilian infrastructure, the U.N. human rights office (OHCHR) said Israeli forces "may have systematically violated the principles of distinction, proportionality, and precautions in attack."

"The requirement to select means and methods of warfare that avoid or at the very least minimise to every extent civilian harm appears to have been consistently violated in Israel's bombing campaign," said U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk said Wednesday.

Israel's permanent mission to the United Nations in Geneva characterized the analysis as "factually, legally, and methodologically flawed."...

US calls off meeting with Israel after Netanyahu's criticism of Biden

from Daily Sabah

The United States canceled a strategic meeting with Israel scheduled for Thursday over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's criticism of the Joe Biden administration.

"It's inconceivable that in the past few months, the administration has been withholding weapons and ammunitions to Israel,” Netanyahu stated in a video posted on X Tuesday.

"The meeting was set to take place in Washington on Thursday and was set to focus primarily on the progress of Iran's nuclear program,” the Haaretz reported.

"Instead of the delegation that was supposed to travel to Washington, led by Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, there will only be a meeting between National Security Council head Tzachi Hanegbi and U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan,” the daily reported, citing a senior Israeli official.

President Joe Biden previously halted some shipments of American weapons to Israel, alleging that it did not comply with protecting civilians...

Israeli military spokesman’s Hamas defeat remarks widen rift with Netanyahu

from al Jazeera

Israel’s military spokesman has exposed a widening rift between the country’s political and army leadership, questioning Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s stated goal of destroying Hamas in the Gaza Strip for the war to end.

After nine months of war in which more than 37,000 Palestinians have been killed in the name of eliminating the armed group that governs the besieged enclave, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari told Israel’s Channel 13 broadcaster on Wednesday that the task was impossible and simply “wrong”.

“This business of destroying Hamas, making Hamas disappear – it’s simply throwing sand in the eyes of the public,” he said. “Hamas is an idea, Hamas is a party. It’s rooted in the hearts of the people – whoever thinks we can eliminate Hamas is wrong.”

Reporting from Amman, Jordan, Al Jazeera’s Hamdah Salhut said Netanyahu’s office was “fuming” at Hagari’s remarks.

“This just gives you an idea of what Benjamin Netanyahu’s policies are in this war, and the army on the ground saying it is actually not realistic,” she added...

Hagari’s acknowledgment of Hamas invincibility attests to Israel’s defeat in Gaza: Official

from PressTV

A senior Hamas official says remarks by Israeli military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari on the impossibility of eliminating the Palestinian resistance group shows that the regime has failed in its genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.

Ghazi Hamad, a member of Hamas' political bureau, made the remarks on Wednesday after Hagari admitted that the declared aim of destroying Hamas is unattainable.

He described Hagari’s remarks as “a bitter confession and proof of the occupying enemy’s failure in the war on Gaza.”

The Hamas official also said that Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu still persists in continuing the aggression despite knowing that it is “futile and will lead nowhere.”

“The Zionist regime knows that it cannot destroy Hamas even by dropping hundreds of tons of explosives on the people of Gaza,” he added.

In an interview with Israel’s Channel 13 news, Hagari said, “Hamas is an idea, Hamas is a party. It’s rooted in the hearts of the people — whoever thinks we can eliminate Hamas is wrong,” noting that anyone promising this is “throwing sand in the face of the Israeli public."...

Can Israel defeat Hamas? Its own military doesn’t seem to think so, clashing with Netanyahu

from NBC News

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may still be leading the nation into its 257th day of war in Gaza, but on Thursday he stood increasingly alone — and at odds with his own military.

Long criticized at home as well as abroad, Netanyahu's approach is now the subject of a deepening disagreement with his top brass as well as his country's top ally, the United States.

Israel's leader dissolved his war Cabinet earlier this week after political rival and former defense minister Benny Gantz stepped down, accusing Netanyahu of standing in the way of “real victory.”

And on Wednesday, the Israel Defense Forces' top spokesman seemed to lay bare the rift at the top of the country's leadership. The central stated goal of the war in Gaza — to destroy Hamas — was not possible and to maintain it was meant "throwing sand in the eyes of the public," said Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari.

“Hamas is an idea. Anyone who thinks we can eliminate Hamas is wrong," Hagari said during an interview with Israeli broadcaster Channel 13. "The political echelon needs to find an alternative — or it will remain," he said, referring to the Palestinian militant group...

H5N1: Big Business Making Ready for the Big Cash Op

'The tech companies are starting to ramp up marketing to get in on the plandemic profits already, because they see what’s coming.  All that’s needed now is that inevitable emergency declaration (or are we supposedly still in an “emergency” by default?) so everybody and their brother, sister and second cousins can start submitting for EUA approval for their bird flu tests.  The experimental inoculations are probably already developed.  Just need to pretend to wait just long enough to break the warp speed record for shortest time to a phony vaccine while retaining the credulity of enough of the population.'

How Scared Should You Be of Bird Flu?

from NYT

How worried you should be about H5N1, the bird flu virus spreading on dairy farms in the United States, depends on whom you are.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has described the current H5N1 risk to the general public as low. The risk that the virus poses is tempered by the fact that it doesn’t spread easily among people — yet.

Right now public-health experts have the difficult task of urging authorities who can do something about H5N1 to take action, while maintaining public trust. Americans have just been through a pandemic that resulted in over one million U.S. lives lost. They may feel weary of more bad news or fear-based messaging. Communicating that while the threat level for most people is low, but if nothing is done it could become quite high, is not easy but is important.

Experts need to be clear that currently, the levers of action are squarely in the hands of government leaders and agricultural interests, not in the hands of the general public. But public attention is key to ensuring that authorities find the will to act.

No one knows whether H5N1, if left unchecked, will become the deadly pandemic that public health experts like me worry it could...

'Painful failure': Israel war minister says 'difficult Gaza war' costs regime dearly

from PressTV

Israel's minister of military affairs Yoav Gallant has admitted the occupying regime’s "painful failure" and intelligence fiasco on October 7, highlighting the cataclysmic cost of the "difficult Gaza war" for Tel Aviv.

Gallant made the remarks at a ceremony on Tuesday, saying the war with the Palestinian resistance movements has cost Israel a lot, particularly in the besieged Gaza Strip.

He noted that Israel has received heavy blows in the ongoing war in Gaza and its casualties are very high.

"This difficult war took the Israeli military by surprise and we paid a heavy price,” Gallant said, adding, “The painful failures will be studied and we will learn from them, and these lessons and experiences will have an effect on our future.”...

Israel to double down on settlements after Palestine recognition

from Daily Sabah

Israel announced it is considering several measures, including bolstering illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, following the recognition of Palestine as a state by several countries.

In a statement late Sunday, the prime minister's office said the Security Cabinet discussed actions to "strengthen settlement in Judea and Samaria" in response to the countries that "unilaterally" recognized a Palestinian state. The cabinet also reviewed a "series of responses" against the Palestinian Authority for its "actions against Israel" in international forums.

"The defense minister and the attorney general requested additional time to comment on several of the proposed clauses. The prime minister instructed that all of the proposals be submitted to a vote at the next Security Cabinet meeting," the statement said.

Under international law, all settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories are considered illegal...

Israeli authorities responsible for war crimes in Gaza, UN inquiry finds

(They open the statement as I did on Oct 8th saying 'Oct 7 events did not happen in a vacuum' and go on to list what Israel has been doing to the Palestinians in Gaza for years. That was the subject of the very first video I did on this subject and something almost no official agency ever recognizes. Good for them.)

al Jazeera English

Israel found guilty of committing the following war crimes (and more to follow according to the report):

• extermination
• intentional targeting of civilians and civilian objects
• murder
• using starvation as a method of war
• forcible transfer of civilian population (depopulation of targeted areas for re-population purposes)
• gender persecution of Palestinian men and boys
• sexual and gender based violence amounting to torture
• cruel or inhuman treatment
• weaponizing distribution of humanitarian aid

All of these disproportionately effect women, disabled, elderly and children.

...

These exercises included raiding military posts and kibbutzim (collective communities in Israel), kidnapping soldiers and civilians, and maintaining the hostages once they were in the Gaza Strip.

The report by Kan News stated, "Security sources told Kan News that the document was known to the intelligence leadership, at the very least in the Gaza Division."

...

The IDF had precise information about Hamas's intentions, but due to prevailing conceptions within the security establishment and possible negligence by senior officials, the warning signs were not acted upon.

The report further detailed that Israeli intelligence officials monitored the exercise and documented the steps Hamas planned to take after breaching Israeli territory and taking over military posts. The expected number of hostages, according to the document, was between 200 and 250 people.

"Israeli intelligence officials who monitored the exercise detailed in the document the next steps after breaching into Israel and taking over the posts, determining that the instruction is to hand over the captured soldiers to the company commanders. The expected number of hostages, it states, is between 200 and 250 people," Kan News reported.

This information, combined with a new and sophisticated security barrier completed two years before the attack, was believed to have made such an assault improbable. However, the barrier failed during the Hamas attack, highlighting a significant intelligence and security oversight.

The general staff investigation team is expected to present initial findings from this failure to the Chief of Staff in the coming weeks, as the country seeks to understand how such a lapse in security could occur despite having detailed advance knowledge of the enemy's plans...

U.S. says it doesn't know what Netanyahu is talking about after he attacks Biden for 'withholding weapons'

(Seems to me that Bibi is trying to help Trump get elected by stabbing Biden in the back after being gifted tons of bombs to wipe out Gaza and aid in planning his Salvador Option campaign against the people of Palestine. Trump promises even more help with the Zionist agenda while Sheldon Adelson's widow is funneling Trump's campaign millions and millions of bucks.)

from NBC News

The United States says it has no idea what the Israeli prime minister is talking about.

The Biden administration on Tuesday rejected Benjamin Netanyahu's accusation that Washington had been "withholding weapons and ammunitions" from its close ally over the "past few months." The Israeli leader implied that this was hampering his military's ongoing offensive in Gaza, now focused on the southern city of Rafah.

"We genuinely do not know what he is talking about. We just don't,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said as she maintained that only one shipment of heavy bombs had been paused since the war began, while billions of dollars of arms have continued to flow into Israel.

On Wednesday, the United Nations human rights office said that the laws of war were likely being "consistently violated" in the Israeli military's ongoing assault on the Palestinian enclave, citing the use of heavy bombs...

Global failure to prepare for pandemics ‘gambling with children’s future’

 (Tell me this shit isn't scripted)

from The Guardian (H/T T)

World leaders are “gambling with their children’s and grandchildren’s health and wellbeing” by failing to prepare for a future p(L)andemic, a new report warns.

Amid surging cases of H5N1 bird flu in mammals, and an mpox outbreak in central Africa, two senior stateswomen have said the lack of preparation had left the world vulnerable to “devastation”.

Helen Clark, former prime minister of New Zealand, and Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, former president of Liberia, were co-chairs of the Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response, which was set up by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2020.

At a World Health Assembly in May 2021, the panel set out a series of recommendations to change how the world tackled pandemic threats and avoid mistakes made during the Covid-19 response.

Today, they said that at the current rate of preparation, the world would probably be overwhelmed by any new pandemic threat...

A Vetted 9/11 Truth Advocate Looks at the Reformed 'Conspiracist' Grifters

I wonder why this is suddenly a big thing in the news cycles today. Oh yeah. Something wicked this way comes.

Israeli Politician CITES HITLER As Inspiration: Yes, This Is Horrifically Real (Owen Jones)

 

It was bound to happen sooner or later.

9/11: The Conventional Explosives Hypothesis (a summary of Scott Creighton’s work)

(I don't know who wrote back in 2018, I'm sorry. I had no idea it was written. A very nice and thorough  analysis of my work on 9/11 demolition theory. Outstanding even. All the links are broken, however, I would guess you can find each article by using the link and the Way Back Machine. Thank you very much, whomever you are. Looks like the author stopped posting around July 2023. Hope you see this. Thanks again. Good work.)

from KapitalGate

Mr. Creighton’s hypothesis, authored over many articles, argues that the Towers were destroyed “via conventional demolition, and that during the design stages of the process, the conspirators relied too heavily on the use of detonation cord in the floor systems, which led to the vaporization of most of the truss systems. This was accidentally revealed (the “iron microspheres”) when the RJ Lee Group did their Composition and Morphology study of the Ground Zero dust samples for Deutsche Bank.”

PETN/RDX is a good candidate because these are the most commonly used hi-explosives in the industry. They have a long, studied history and are generally reliable. It’s sensible to start with the most plausible hypothesis (conventional hi-explosives) first, and failing that, move onto testing more exotic hypotheses.

Primaline 85 detonator cord would be used to pulverize the concrete, and also to remove the building’s lateral support supplied by the double-bridged long trusses. RDX cutter and kicker charges would be used to cut columns down to a specific length (every three floors is a common estimate from what I’ve read), and then ‘kick’ those columns out of the way from the proceeding downward collapse. Refer to article three, “Demolition Hypothesis”, for further details on the demolition sequence.

The mutant bird flu lurking on our borders

from RNZ

Highly pathogenic avian influenza - H5N1, or bird flu - has been flying around the world since the late 1990s. 

New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific Islands are so far free of it, but now it has been discovered in mainland Antarctica and scientists say it is only a matter of time before it gets here. 

By then, it will be more than just a virus that hits ducks and poultry farms, although that is bad enough. 

The virus is mutating and has transferred with devastating effects into wild bird populations. 

It has also turned up in mammals...

NZ must be prepared for bird flu, experts say, as Australia confirms first human case

from RNZ (H/T T)

New Zealand must be prepared for the bird flu strain causing concern overseas, public health experts say, as Australia confirms its first human case.

The H5N1 strain of bird flu has been spreading among wild birds and poultry globally for more than two years.

But scientists are on alert for changes in H5N1 which could signal the virus is adapting to spread easily among humans amid reports of human cases and spread among cattle in the US too.

"The H5N1 virus is constantly evolving and could potentially become easily transmissible from person to person," the World Health Organization's (WHO) website states.

"If this occurs, it could be the start of a new influenza pandemic, as was the case with the 1918 and 2009 H1N1 pandemics."...

Pentagon Anti-Vaccine Campaign Against Russia, China Revealed Threats to Cybersecurity

(Seems like the DoD ran disinformation campaigns against a number of Covid-19 vaccines that were not their mRNA experimental jabs. Makes sense considering the fact that the DoD made Sars-Cov-2 in the Lugar Center under a DTRA contract with NIH and EcoHealth Alliance and they financed the creation of Moderna in order to manufacture the mRNA jabs. I think it's the DoD who went to Pfizer and demanded they make a Covid vaccine using their mRNA model.)

from Sputnik News

The Pentagon ran a secret anti-vax campaign to undermine China during the pandemic and to discredit vaccines in several other countries, media reported on Friday.

 

The Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) recorded a targeted and coordinated campaign against vaccination in Russia, including through various channels of disinformation, such as fake accounts, anonymous sources, and biased experts, the RDIF stated in response to a report that the Pentagon waged a secret campaign against a Chinese coronavirus vaccine to undermine China's position during the pandemic

The Russian Direct Investment Fund calls for the creation of reliable mechanisms to counter information attacks by unfriendly states, including in the healthcare sector, the fund said.

According to the RDIF, information attacks on international markets included false claims by the UK Cyber Security Center that Russian-linked hackers had attempted to steal data from the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada on the development of a coronavirus vaccine. In addition, the US Department of Health and Human Services openly wrote in a report about how it convinced Brazil not to use Russia's Sputnik-V vaccine.

"Since the beginning of the registration of the Sputnik V vaccine, we have observed a targeted campaign to undermine confidence in the achievements of Russian scientists, in total, we have recorded more than 300 information attacks on vaccines of the Sputnik family,"

"Successful results of the Sputnik vaccine on foreign markets that demonstrated its safety and efficiency as one of the best vaccines, as well as the publication of these results and other studies in the world's leading scientific journals, played a key role in the RDIF successfully countering the information attacks on the Russian vaccine," Dmitriev added.

In addition, the RDIF has initiated more than 50 studies and scientific publications on the Sputnik vaccine family...

Rochester Hills splash pad shooting: What we know about victims, suspect

(No motive. Loner. Found 'dead by his own hand'. Found the dreaded 'assault rifle' on his kitchen table like a plot-point prop. Conveniently left behind a hand-gun registered to his home. Why not his driver's license or passport? Just happened to have another one to 'shoot himself' with.)

(Michigan is trying to pass legislation banning 'ghost guns' which are weapons either 3-d printed or made in such a way as to not have a registration number. What a coincidence. They 'found' the patsy suspect because the 9m Glock was registered. They also, supposedly, prevented a second mass shooting... all because the gun he used was NOT a 'ghost gun'.  Go figure.)

from Detroit Free Press

...

Police described the suspect, Michael William Nash, as a 42-year-old male who lived with his mother. Bouchard said the man had no criminal history, but was believed to have had mental health challenges.

Nash died by suicide after being "contained" at a Shelby Township home for several hours following the attack, Bouchard said. Bouchard said after attempts to contact the suspect failed, drones were deployed to examine the home, where Nash was found dead.

Inside the home on the kitchen table was what looked like a semi-automatic rifle, Bouchard said. He suggested Nash may have had plans for a "second chapter."

"If he had planned to do anything else, and it wouldn't surprise me, because having that on the kitchen table is not an everyday activity," Bouchard said Saturday.

Bouchard described the shooting as "very random" and "bizarre." Nash has no known connection to the victims, he said. Detectives are still working to determine a motive.

Israel ‘lied’ about 'tactical pause' as Rafah crossing destroyed: Govt.

from PressTV

The Government Information Office in the Gaza Strip says Israel lied about a daily pause of its attacks in southern areas of the Palestinian territory.

The office made the announcement on Monday, a day after the Israeli military claimed that it will carry out a “tactical pause of military activity” every day from 8 a.m. until 7 p.m. local time to allow aid trucks to move from the Kerem Shalom crossing up the Salah al-Din road and northwards.

The Kerem Shalom crossing is the main entry point for incoming aid to southern Gaza. The Rafah crossing, also in southern Gaza, is another entry point for humanitarian assistance into the besieged territory.

Israel has repeatedly closed the the tightly controlled crossings in a deliberate attempt to block the flow of food, medicines and basic supplies into Gaza, using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare...

Benjamin Netanyahu denounces Israel military’s ‘tactical pause’ plan

from Financial Times

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has denounced as “unacceptable” plans by his country’s military for a limited pause in operations near a crossing into Gaza that was intended to help aid distribution in the shattered enclave. 

Netanyahu’s comments on Sunday came amid growing domestic criticism of his handling of the nine-month war against Hamas and a national mood soured by one of the deadliest days for the military of the conflict so far. 

Eight Israeli combat engineering soldiers were killed on Saturday in the southern Gaza city of Rafah when their armoured personnel carrier was destroyed by what officials said was likely to have been a Hamas anti-tank missile. 

Two more soldiers were killed in northern Gaza later on Saturday, while a third succumbed to wounds sustained in Rafah last week. One soldier was killed on Sunday in an explosion at the entrance to a Hamas tunnel in Rafah, the Israeli military said...
