The Chorus Scandal: There is Never a Good Excuse for Selling Out

 

Chorus is a reference to Greek tragedy. The 'chorus' would tell the audience what they saw as the story played out and what they were supposed to think about it.

Israel Is Considered a "Genocidal, Apartheid Country" Abroad, According to Israel’s Own Research

(In the end Mark Penn's company figured out the best path forward to try to help Glorious Israel overcome the horrors they have been committing... is just full on racism and Islamaphobia. Yep. That's right. Lean into hatred and fear mongering... and maybe even a false flag event or two might help as well. So we can expect a bit of that lovely shit for the next few months I guess.) 

(These are just the worst people on the planet.) 

from Drop Site News

The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs commissioned an American polling firm to perform a sweeping battery of surveys and focus groups, coupled with message-testing, aimed at rehabilitating Israel’s image in both the United States and Europe. The work remains ongoing, but a preliminary report from the firm was leaked to Drop Site News by a source with direct access to it.

The work is being performed by Stagwell Global, a firm founded by notorious political operative Mark Penn, who serves as the company’s chairman and CEO. Penn donated $100,000 to AIPAC after October 7, 2023, and his ties to Likud date back to his work on Menachem Begin’s 1981 campaign for prime minister. Stagwell is also on the verge of getting a no-bid contract from the Trump administration to study American attitudes toward vaccines.

The survey and focus group work attempts to discern what the public knows about the ongoing assault on Gaza and what its various attitudes toward Israel currently are...

 Israel’s best tactic to combat this, according to the study, is to foment fear of “Radical Islam” and “Jihadism,” which remain high, the research finds...

No video today folks

Feeling better, I went out and cut my lawn and neighbor's lawn yesterday and this morning, though I felt a bit worse last night, I weeded this short little tree in the yard so the weeds wouldn't kill it.

BREAKING: Trump's Missing Days Question Answered! It Was OverGold!

by Scott Creighton

I have an exclusive scoop for you guys! Someone (anonymous sources) sent me an image of the moment President Trump was found in the Oval Office last week!

I cannot independently verify the authenticity of the photo but I can tell you it may actually be a real photo of something or another and as with the MSM and Israel's apologists, that's good enough for me.

 

Reportedly (from secret sources who are not authorized to be within 500 feet of any school, ever) Donald Trump suffered his 6th OG (OverGold) event since getting back into the White House in Jan of this year.

That's a lot of OG events even for tin-pot third-world dictators of the past and way too many for an occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.  which is currently being renamed to '16 Stacks Crib'

The Donald (as he likes to be called by various sycophants he brings to 16 Stacks Crib to pay him tribute) was sent to OverGold rehab center run by Lit Wayne and DJ Jazzy Jeff.

He was released against Pimp's orders after only 5 days.

Another relapse is expected as The Donald is reportedly changing all the PVP plumbing in the White House to gold.

Trump revives historic 'Department of War' name in Pentagon rebrand

(He's also allowing the Pentagon to be renamed as 'The MIC's ATM') 

from al Mayadeen English

US President Donald Trump will sign an executive order later today to restore the historic name "Department of War" as an official secondary title for the Department of Defense. The move represents a symbolic shift in how the US military presents itself to the world.

Trump explained his reasoning by pointing to history, “We won World War I, World War II – it was called the Department of War, and to me, that’s really what it is. Defense is a part of that, but I have a feeling we’re gonna be changing.”

He argued that the current title projects weakness. “We don’t just want to be defense. We want defense, but we want to be offense, too,” Trump said, claiming the new name conveys “a stronger message of readiness and resolve.”

The executive order allows Pentagon officials to use terms such as “Secretary of War” and “Deputy Secretary of War” in correspondence and ceremonial settings, though a permanent renaming would require congressional approval...

'Captives of Netanyahu, not Hamas,' says Israeli captive in new video

from al Mayadeen English

In a new video from Gaza, an Israeli captive accuses his own government of abandoning captives and fueling endless war for political gain. 

 

...

Later in the video, Dalal reiterates that the true obstacle to their release is the Israeli leadership: “We’re captives of Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir, and Smotrich, who have been lying the entire time and don’t want us to go back home.”

Speaking amid the sounds of constant Israeli bombardment, Dalal paints a grim picture of the situation on the ground: “I am now in Gaza City, and the explosions are ongoing non-stop. Warplanes are above us. We want all of this to end, to go back to our families.”

He says they are now close to the frontlines and at imminent risk.

“We’re close to the army. We’re scared. There are explosions and gunfire. Please, take us back home.”

The video underscores both the escalating humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza and the internal dissent now emerging among Israeli captives. Dalal's message reflects not only the growing urgency of the situation in Gaza, but also the intensifying internal scrutiny of the current Israeli government, particularly Prime Minister Netanyahu, whose pursuit of an endless war is increasingly viewed by settlers as a political strategy to maintain power, regardless of the human cost.

Hamas to Trump: We Are Ready to Release All Israeli Captives in Comprehensive Ceasefire Deal

(Israel responded by bombing a high-rise in Gaza City, killing 40 more civilians, 7 of whom are children) 

(But yeah leftie influencers... keep saying it's Hamas who are the terrorists) 

from Drop Site News

Hamas’s political leadership is reaffirming its willingness to make a deal that would see all Israeli captives released immediately in return for a ceasefire agreement that would bring an end to Israel’s genocidal war against the Palestinians of Gaza and a withdrawal of Israeli troops. “The movement reiterates its readiness to enter into a comprehensive deal under which all enemy prisoners held by the resistance will be released in exchange for an agreed-upon number of Palestinian prisoners held by the occupation,” Hamas said in a statement on Wednesday night. The statement added that Hamas has made clear its willingness to relinquish governance of Gaza to pave the way for “an independent national administration of technocrats to manage all Gaza Strip affairs and assume its responsibilities immediately in all areas.”

Hamas’s statement came hours after President Donald Trump posted a message on TruthSocial. “Tell Hamas to IMMEDIATELY give back all 20 Hostages (Not 2 or 5 or 7!), and things will change rapidly. IT WILL END!” Trump wrote.

Israel and the U.S. have both publicly dismissed the fact that, on August 18, Hamas agreed to a 60-day ceasefire deal presented by regional mediator Egypt that featured sweeping concessions from Hamas. The document, obtained by Drop Site, was endorsed by Hamas and a range of other Palestinian political parties and factions. The deal is a slightly modified version of the 13-point framework put forward by Trump’s Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and drafted in coordination with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s top aide, Ron Dermer. That deal would have seen the release of ten living Israeli captives—half the number believed to remain in Gaza—in a 50-day period...

Israel rejects truce deal, threatens to level Gaza City

(This image would be all over the MSM press today and congress would be holding votes to fix the problem RIGHT NOW... were the mother Jewish and the child killed in Glorious Israel. But as it stands, our media and politicians ignore the worst kinds of human suffering... if it's Palestinian mothers crying.) 

(That... is... mental... illness... and... depravity.)

(We are a sick nation run by sick people.) 

from PressTV

 

Israel has rejected a new proposal to end its genocidal war on the Gaza Strip under a ceasefire deal with the Hamas resistance group, threatening to flatten Gaza City like other areas in the besieged Palestinian territory.   

The Tel Aviv regime dismissed the proposal on Wednesday, hours after Hamas stressed its readiness to enter into a comprehensive deal, under which all Israeli captives would be freed, in exchange for an agreed-upon number of Palestinian abductees.

The resistance group also called for an agreement that stops the Israeli genocide in Gaza, ensures the withdrawal of all occupation forces from the territory, and reopens its crossings.

The Israeli prime minister's office rejected the Hamas statement, saying, "This is more spin by Hamas that has nothing new."

It further said that the Gaza offensive can end immediately “on the conditions set by the [Israeli] cabinet," which include the release of all captives, the disarmament of Hamas, and Tel Aviv’s security control over Gaza.

Similarly, Israeli minister of military affairs Israel Katz warned Hamas to either accept Israel’s conditions or see Gaza City “become like Rafah and Beit Hanoun,” which have been reduced to rubble...

Dying of starvation: Erasing generations in Gaza

 

from Daily Sabah

A few weeks ago, a journalist friend shared his latest column on social media, titled "Brother, I Haven’t Eaten in Three Days." It captured the haunting collapse of Gaza, where famine is a cruel daily reality. I come from Kashmir, a conflict-infested region, where I have witnessed death and destruction up close and narrowly escaped death on several occasions. Yet, never have I felt so tormented, so utterly helpless, as when I read those lines. His words cut to my very core.

That evening, as I sat down for dinner, I faced a moral dilemma: how could I eat while, at that very moment, hundreds of thousands in Gaza were starving? The question gnawed at my conscience and continues to haunt me still.

The very next day, Aug. 22, 2025, after the congregational prayers, a Palestinian friend I had come to know since last Ramadan tapped me on the shoulder. His face seemed worn with exhaustion as he said, "Brother, I barely slept last night. The U.N. has formally declared famine in Gaza, a man-made famine."

In response to his sharing the news, I asked, in a voice brittle with helplessness, "Will this declaration end the starvation forced on Gaza?" He shook his head slowly. "No ... but it means intervention may now be legally justified." His words struck me with bitter cynicism. The declaration, like so many before it, seemed less about saving lives than about recording a crisis that had been unfolding for months, even years, under siege and blockade, with no meaningful relief reaching the helpless...

Israel launches 2nd stage of Gaza occupation plan

 

from Daily Sabah

Israel’s top general, Eyal Zamir, said Wednesday the army has entered the second phase of its operation to occupy Gaza, which is expected to displace the blockaded Palestinian enclave's population, amid growing international outrage.

"We have entered the second phase of Operation ‘Gideon’s Chariots’ to fulfill the objectives of the war. Returning our hostages is both a moral and national mission,” Zamir told army troops in the field.

The move came days after the Israeli army declared Gaza City a "dangerous combat zone” on Friday.

On Aug. 8, Israel’s Security Cabinet approved a plan by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to gradually reoccupy the Gaza Strip, beginning with Gaza City.

A senior Israeli military official said on Wednesday that authorities estimated that an imminent offensive in the Gaza Strip would displace one million Palestinians, planning a new "humanitarian area" for them.

The vast majority of Gaza's more than two million people have been displaced at least once during nearly two years of war.

The Israeli military has been gearing up to seize Gaza City, the Palestinian territory's largest urban centre, with the United Nations estimating that nearly a million people live in and around the northern city...

Netanyahu paid Google $45 mln to spread Israeli propaganda

from al Mayadeen English

An investigation by Drop Site News has revealed that Google is engaged in a six-month, $45 million agreement with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office to promote propaganda through digital platforms. The contract identifies Google as a “key entity” in advancing the prime minister’s messaging strategy.

The contract surfaced just hours after "Israel" announced a complete blockade on food, fuel, medicine, and humanitarian supplies entering Gaza on March 2, 2025. Rather than addressing the humanitarian disaster, members of the Knesset focused on how Netanyahu’s office was preparing to contain the international backlash.

During a hearing, Avichai Edrei, spokesperson for the Israeli army, reportedly suggested launching digital campaigns to deny reports of hunger in Gaza. According to government records reviewed by Drop Site News, the prime minister’s advertising bureau soon initiated a vast messaging drive, deploying influencers and investing heavily in paid advertising on Google, YouTube, Meta, and X.

One widely promoted video on YouTube, published by the foreign ministry, declared: “There is food in Gaza. Any other claim is a lie.” The video, which has amassed over six million views, was amplified through the secretive $45 million campaign run with Google’s advertising arm, Display & Video 360...

Deceiving the Israeli Public: Zionists Putting Israel's Back to the River

As the Greater Israel campaign unfolds, the greatest threat to it's continuation is from the Israeli public as if they pull their support en masse, the project will fold and the Zionists will fall from power. That's why I think they make horrific choices for the world too see and why they constantly tell Israelis and Jews that antisemitism is on a historic rise. Their backs are to the river, they claim, and if they don't support this campaign of conquest, Israel itself will be lost. This is my theory anyway.

There’s a Little Parsons in All of Us

Michel Chossudovsky over at Global Research has put up an interesting NPR transcript with some rather revealing statements about Wikileaks that were made by the New York Times chief Washington correspondent, David Sanger. Sanger is one of the New York Times reporters who have been reading and writing about the different state department memos “leaked” by Wikileaks. He was also involved in meetings with the Obama administration and others which selected and redacted the cables that would be published.

Go here to listen to the audio file of the Dec. 8th 2010 “Fresh Air” interview.  Go here to read the entire transcript at Global Research.

It’s important at first to understand briefly who David Sanger is. Sanger is a Washington insider with a great deal of access to the White House under both the Bush and Obama regimes. He even speaks in his book about being in the White House Situation Room. He wrote a book called “The Inheritance: The World Obama Confronts and the Challenges to American Power” in which basically he supports the need to attack Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and even Iran. Pretty much the entire Global War on Terror is just fine with David Sanger and he spends most of his life doing his best to drum-up support for it on the left.

Trump Admin Circulating Plan to Transform Depopulated Gaza Into High-Tech Cash Cow

(The GREAT Trust plan uses Netanyahu's AI images of a remade Gaza. Their Gaza 2035 plan. It is clearly a series of free trade zones and 'Hamas Free Habitats' where they seem to plan to keep Palestinians locked behind barbed wire fences (to keep out 'Hamas') so they can use them as near slave labor to build the cities and the tech centers so people like Elon Musk and Donald Trump can make billions in profits. It is obscene.) 

from Common Dreams

The White House is "circulating" a plan to transform a substantially depopulated Gaza into US President Donald Trump's vision of a high-tech "Riviera of the Middle East" brimming with private investment and replete with artificial intelligence-powered "smart cities."

That's according a 38-page prospectus for a proposed Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration, and Transformation (GREAT) Trust obtained by The Washington Post and published in a report on Sunday. Parts of the proposal were previously reported by the Financial Times.

"Gaza can transform into a Mediterranean hub for manufacturing, trade, data, and tourism, benefiting from its strategic location, access to markets... resources, and a young workforce all supported by Israeli tech and [Gulf Cooperation Council] investments," the prospectus states.

However, to journalist Hala Jaber, the plan amounts to "genocide packaged as real estate." 

The GREAT Trust was drafted by some of the same Israelis behind the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), whose aid distribution points in Gaza have been the sites of deliberate massacres and other incidents in which thousands of aid-seeking Palestinians have been killed or wounded.

According to the Post, financial modeling for the GREAT Trust proposal "was done by a team working at the time for the Boston Consulting Group"—which played a key role in creating GHF. BCG told the Post that the firm did not approve work on the trust plan, and that two senior partners who led the financial modeling were subsequently terminated.

The GREAT Trust envisions "a US-led multirlateral custodianship" lasting a decade or longer and leading to "a reformed Palestinian self-governance after Gaza is "demilitarized and de-radicalized."

Josh Paul—a former US State Department official who resigned in October 2023 over the Biden administration's decision to sell more arms to Israel as it waged a war on Gaza increasingly viewed by experts as genocidal—told Democracy Now! last week that Trump's plan for Gaza is "essentially a new form of colonialism, a transition from Israeli colonialism to corporate" colonialism...

Sumud Flotilla for Gaza departs Barcelona again after delay due to storm

(This is NOT the 'selfie boat' or at least it isn't for most of the very serious activists and humanitarians on board. But then again, there is Greta who managed to use her celebrity 'activism' clout to worm her way onto the steering committee. She just makes me sick. I wish them well and safe travels.) 

from al Jazeera

The Global Sumud Flotilla carrying aid to the Israeli-blockaded Gaza Strip departed Barcelona again on Monday evening, several hours after poor weather forced it to return to the Spanish port, according to a journalist travelling on one of the boats.

Earlier on Monday, the flotilla – which had set off from Barcelona on Sunday – said in a statement on X that strong winds of more than 30 knots (55.6 kilometres per hour, or 34.5 miles per hour) on the Mediterranean Sea could have posed a problem for smaller boats in the convoy...

This flotilla is organised by four major coalitions that have participated in previous land and sea efforts to Gaza: the Global Movement to Gaza, Freedom Flotilla Coalition, Maghreb Sumud Flotilla and Sumud Nusantara...

The coalition’s steering committee includes a number of high-profile activists and figures, such as Palestinian activist Saif Abukeshek, human rights activist Yasemin Acar, historian Kleoniki Alexopoulou, activist Marouan Ben Guettaia, human rights activist Torkia Chaibi, physicist Maria Elena Delia, activist and social researcher Hayfa Mansouri, social scientist Karen Moynihan, humanitarian Muhammad Nadir al-Nuri, activist Wael Nawar, political scientist and lawyer Melanie Schweizer, Avila and ...Thunberg...

US blocks Palestinian leader from attending UN meeting in New York

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio blamed them for undermining peace efforts and for seeking "the unilateral recognition of a conjectural Palestinian state".

Belgium's BS Offer to Recognize Palestine Statehood

by Scott Creighton

 

It's a stunt to appease the large percentage of their population who want their government to take a stand against the genocide being committed by Israel against the people of Palestine. Its a stunt that comes with extremely unrealistic and frankly arrogant, Israel-supporting conditions: 

'Maxime Prevot said Belgium's plans to recognize a Palestinian state will be announced at the United Nations General Assembly on Sept. 9.

However, the acknowledgment is predicated on two conditions – the return of all Israeli hostages held in Gaza and the removal of Hamas from political power in the coastal exclave. The conditions make it unlikely the recognition will be formalized anytime soon.' Daily Sabah

These conditions obviously favor Israel after all, the forced regime change in Gaza is what Israel has wanted from the start.

In Belgium the only legitimate government they will recognize in Palestine is one subservient to their Israeli masters. This is the message they are sending the rest of the world.

China’s Xi slams ‘bullying’ behavior in world affairs, urges cooperation to strengthen SCO

from PressTV

Chinese President Xi Jinping has criticized “bullying behavior” in international affairs, pledging to strengthen multilateral ties as he opened the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Tianjin.

In an address to SCO leaders on Sunday evening, Xi called on the world to reject Cold War mentalities, bloc confrontations and “bullying behavior” in international politics.

Xi delivered his remarks at the opening of the two-day SCO summit, which brought together leaders from more than 20 nations.

Among the attendees were Russian President Vladimir Putin, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly also took part in the gathering.

“The current international situation is becoming increasingly chaotic and intertwined … The security and development tasks facing member states have become even more challenging,” Xi warned.

He urged the SCO to uphold fairness and justice in both domestic and international affairs, while resisting what he called the mentality of power politics.

Xi highlighted that the organization has made progress by adhering to the “Shanghai Spirit,” a principle based on mutual respect, equality, and cooperation.

“Looking to the future, with the world undergoing turbulence and transformation, we must continue to forge ahead and enhance the functions of the organization,” he said...

Wicked Game: My Address to the IDF and Other Zionist Apologists and Collaborators of the World

You know why the world is turning against you. It is not 'the media' or lie of anti-Semites or jealousy or blood libels or any of the other necessary delusions you need to look yourself in the mirror these days.

It's you and the behavior of your fellow IDF soldiers, your leaders and the Jewish population in Israel who cheer you on without the slightest hint of shame.

It's you who are doing this terrible thing to people in Gaza and the West Bank and Lebanon and Syria. 

It's you who are doing this terrible thing to Israel and Jewish people across the globe.

Iran president urges SCO to take concrete steps toward peace, economic cooperation

from PressTV

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) should take practical and clear steps to promote global peace and economic cooperation.

Pezeshkian was addressing the 25th Meeting of the SCO Council of Heads of State in northern China's port city of Tianjin on Monday.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran believes that the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, as one of the important pillars of the multipolarization of the international system, should take practical, clear, and specific steps in two parallel paths to create a more peaceful world and a world conducive to expanding economic cooperation,” he said.

He proposed the creation of a specialized initiative, the "Accounts and Settlements of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization," as a practical mechanism to enhance financial cooperation and reduce the impacts of unlawful sanctions on the economic interactions among the member states.

He said the initiative rests on greater use of national currencies in settlements to decrease reliance on the US dollar, the establishment of shared digital infrastructure and the employment of central bank digital currencies to ensure secure and efficient payments and the establishment of a multilateral currency swap fund to assist countries facing sanctions or liquidity shortages.

“We believe that the implementation of this initiative can not only enhance the economic resilience of the members but can also turn the Shanghai Cooperation Organization into a successful model for establishing a multipolar, fair, and resilient financial order against external pressures,” the Iranian president added...
