The 100-Word Ceasefire “Proposal” Trump Sent Hamas

(The proposal was delivered to Hamas by a Jewish New York real estate developer. It basically says Hamas needs to disarm and leave power while the IDF remains in Gaza as another government is formed and they must immediately hand over all hostages and aid and food will ONLY start coming into Gaza AFTER negotiations are complete which as we know with Glorious Israel, will never happen.)

(So basically what this agreement says is... give up, get out and let us continue to starve and ethnically cleanse Gaza.) 

from Drop Site News

A five-point summary outlining U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal for a Gaza ceasefire was delivered to Hamas by mediators over the weekend. Trump has characterized the ultimatum as the final offer to the Palestinian resistance movement before Israel accelerates its campaign to enact the total destruction of the Gaza Strip.

The brief, approximately 100-word document, presented in Arabic and obtained by Drop Site, is titled, “The Main Proposal.” The full text and English translation is at the bottom of this article.

The outline, which contains sparse details, states that, within 48 hours of accepting the ultimatum, Hamas and other resistance groups would release all Israeli captives, living and deceased. In return, Israel would free an unspecified number of “Palestinian prisoners sentenced to life and detainees from Gaza” within 48 hours.

Venezuela boosts troop deployment in response to US threats

from RT

Venezuela is set to boost its military deployments in coastal and border states amid heightened tensions with the US. The move comes after Washington dispatched several warships to the Southern Caribbean last month in what it describes as an operation against drug cartels.

Venezuelan Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez announced on Sunday that President Nicolas Maduro had ordered the deployment of “all available” troops and equipment to the states of Zulia, Falcon, Nueva Esparta, Sucre, and Delta Amacuro. He added that Caracas will increase troop deployments from around 10,000 to 25,000, noting that the area constitutes a “drug trafficking route.”

“No one is going to step on this land and do what we’re supposed to do,” Padrino said in a video uploaded to social media.

Last month, Venezuela also mobilized 15,000 troops to its border with Colombia...

Spanish PM reveals 9 measures to halt genocide in Gaza

from al Mayadeen English

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on Monday announced nine new measures aimed at stopping the “genocide in Gaza,” stating, in a televised address, “What Israel is doing is not defending itself, it is exterminating a defenseless population."

He said that although Spain has de facto been applying an export ban on weapons to "Israel" since 2023, the government will now urgently legislate a “permanent” ban, a measure that will be joined by prohibiting ships transporting fuel to Israeli forces from using Spanish ports and banning aircraft carrying defense material from Spanish airspace...

Finland’s main opposition decries government’s stance on Gaza, urges Palestinian state recognition

Finland’s leading opposition party has denounced the government’s approach to the ongoing Israeli genocidal war on Gaza, emphasizing the necessity for clear foreign policy actions, notably the “crucial” recognition of the State of Palestine.

“All countries, including Finland, must be prepared to do everything they can and ought to do to end the suffering and bloodshed in [West Asia],” Social Democratic Party leader Antti Lindtman told public broadcaster YLE.

UK police arrest some 900 at latest Palestine Action protests

(I am so glad my Jewish aunt and uncle did not live long enough to see this. It would break their hearts seeing what is being done in their name.) 

from Daily Sabah

 

British police said Sunday they arrested nearly 900 people in London during protests against a government ban that designated the activist group Palestine Action a terrorist organization.

Almost 1,600 people have now been detained, many for silently holding signs supporting the group, since it was outlawed two months ago. Protesters say the ban on Palestine Action is an unwarranted curb on free speech and the right to protest.

The Metropolitan Police force said 890 people were arrested at Saturday's demonstration, the vast majority, 857, under the Terrorism Act for supporting a proscribed organization. Some 33 were detained for other offenses, including 17 for assaulting police officers.

Defend Our Juries, the campaign group organizing the protest, said 1,500 people took part in the demonstration outside Parliament, sitting down and holding signs reading "I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action."

Within minutes, police began arresting the demonstrators, as bystanders chanted "Shame on you," and "Met Police, pick a side, justice or genocide." There were some scuffles and angry exchanges as officers dragged away demonstrators who went limp as they were removed from the crowd...

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.

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

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

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...

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...

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...

What Motivated the Minneapolis Church Shooter? We May Never Know.

(Here we go.

Seems like they have finally gotten around to not even TRYING to gin up some bullshit motive for their mass casualty events anymore. 

Just shoot em up, perp is dead, tell whatever  BS story you want and move to grab the guns.

Fuck a motive, though in EVERY COURT CASE a motive is the MOST IMPORTANT EVIDENCE TO UNCOVER.

Nope. No motive narrative needed for the IDIOT AMERICANS watching their nation and constitution crumble out from under them.

Just shoot em up and let the spin doctors decide.

Thanks New York Times. Don't great work there.)

from the New York Times

But after learning how easily the gunman had obtained the weapons and ammunition he used in the attack, Ms. Phillips said the motive ceased to matter.

“It doesn’t matter,” she said. “We want an easy answer: This guy was crazy, or this was a white nationalist, or this guy was trans. Who cares? The fact is, we’re not doing what needs to be done as a society to stop the killing.”

Ms. Phillips, who has called for tougher gun regulations and co-founded a group that works with victims of shootings and their families, said she was frustrated to see news coverage of the Minneapolis church shooting again focused on trying to parse the shooter’s motive.

“The answer to the ‘why’ is,” Ms. Phillips said, “because he could.”

Indonesia’s Prabowo scraps China trip over protests, TikTok halts live feed

(Clearly someone has tried to hijack a legitimate demonstration expressing Indonesian anger over excessive pay for cabinet officials in order to stop Prabowo from attending a SCO meeting and getting closer to China and BRICS. Also interesting TikTok has decided to stop allowing their platform to be used to further the color revolution agenda.) 

from al Jazeera

Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has cancelled a trip to China, as deadly antigovernment protests spread outside the capital, and social media platform TikTok suspended its live feature, citing concerns over the “increasing violence” in the Southeast Asian country.

The announcement by Prabowo’s spokesman came on Saturday as Indonesian authorities said that at least three people were killed in an arson attack on a parliament building in Makassar, the capital of the South Sulawesi province, on the previous day. 

The protests mark the first major test for Prabowo’s nearly year-old government. They began in Jakarta on Monday over lawmakers’ pay and worsened after a police vehicle hit and killed a motorcycle rider.

“The president wants to continue monitoring [the situation in Indonesia] directly… and seek the best solutions,” presidential spokesperson Prasetyo Hadi said in a video statement.

“Therefore, the president apologises to the Chinese government that he could not attend the invitation.”

Prabowo had been due to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in China’s Tianjin as well as a “Victory Day” parade on September 3 to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II...

Indonesian president Prabowo cancels China trip amid violent protests

(Yes it looks like a color revolution to keep Indonesia from getting closer to China but keep in mind, Prabowo is a former military leader who was very close to Suharto back in the day who wanted to take his place as neoliberal dictator when he left office. So much so, he married Suharto's daughter. When he wasn't selected for that job, he dumped her. While serving in the military he was directly involved with mass murders in East Timor. And he of course is a 'businessman')

(All this doesn't mean he isn't  being regime changed, it just means the neoliberal rulers of various nations that would traditionally be siding with the West are jumping ship at an alarming rate perhaps.)' 

from TRTWorld

Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has cancelled his scheduled trip to China due to ongoing protests in several Indonesian cities, local media reported.

Presidential spokesman Prasetyo Hadi announced on Saturday that Prabowo wishes to remain in Indonesia to monitor the nationwide protests, according to Antara News.

Prabowo was scheduled to travel to China at the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping to attend the Victory Day Parade in Beijing on September 3, 2025, marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.

"Mr. President wants to observe conditions directly, to lead and seek the best resolution to the unrest. Hence, President Prabowo Subianto humbly apologised to the Chinese government for not being able to fulfil their invitation," Prasetyo said.

At least three people were killed in violent protests in Indonesia on Saturday after angry demonstrators set fire to several government buildings in the capital Jakarta following the death of a motorcycle taxi driver hit by a police vehicle.

Protesters attacked police outposts and set fire to the city's police command headquarters, destroying dozens of vehicles, shattering windows, levelling guard posts, and injuring officers with stones and torched several vehicles with rocks and Molotov cocktails, injuring four people.

"A total of eight people were evacuated by the rescue team after the burning of the Makassar City DPRD Office, three of whom were declared dead, suspected of being trapped inside the room when the fire broke out," a local disaster management official said...

Modi, Xi Pledge to Strengthen China-India Relations

 (Color Revolution in India in... 5... 4... 3...)

from al Maydeen English

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Chinese President Xi Jinping on Sunday, August 31, stressing New Delhi’s commitment to improving China-India relations.

The meeting took place on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit, where leaders from Asia gathered in a display of Global South solidarity.

Modi’s first visit to China in seven years came shortly after Washington imposed steep 50% tariffs on Indian goods over New Delhi’s continued purchases of Russian oil. Analysts say both leaders sought to present a united front against Western pressure.

According to India’s Foreign Ministry, Modi told Xi that the relationship should be based on “mutual respect, trust and sensitivities” and not viewed through the lens of a third country...

Resistance movements condemn Israeli assassination of Yemeni officials, vow sustained struggle

from PressTV

Resistance movements have issued separate strong statements of mourning and condemnation following the Israeli regime’s assassination of nine senior Yemeni officials.

In a collective statement issued on Saturday, Palestinian resistance factions commended the atrocities for their elimination of the lifelong defenders of the Palestinian people and their cause.

They vowed that “the escalating Nazi Zionist assassination operations” would not break the Yemeni people’s will, nor diminish their support for Palestine.

Extending condolences to Yemen’s Ansarallah resistance movement’s leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the country’s President Mahdi al-Mashat, and the martyrs’ survivors, the factions pledged continued “jihad (struggle) of victory or martyrdom.”

A Dark Money Group Is Secretly Funding High-Profile Democratic Influ

(Wired posted this very important work exposing fake alt-left 'journalists' for being on the take... then they put it behind a damn PAYWALL. Screw Wired. Here is the whole article from Wayback Machine.) 

from Wired

An initiative aimed at boosting Democrats online offers influencers up to $8,000 a month to push the party line. All they have to do is keep it secret—and agree to restrictions on their content.

In a private group chat in June, dozens of Democratic political influencers discussed whether to take advantage of an enticing opportunity. They were being offered $8,000 per month to take part in a secretive program aimed at bolstering Democratic messaging on the internet.

But the contract sent to them from Chorus, the nonprofit arm of a liberal influencer marketing platform, came with some strings. Among other issues, it mandated extensive secrecy about disclosing their payments and had restrictions on what sort of political content the creators could produce.

In their group chat, influencers debated the details.

“Should we send a joint email (with all of our email addresses) … or, are we just going to send things separately and hope they change everything for everyone?” Laurenzo, a nonbinary creator in Columbus, Ohio, with over 884,000 TikTok followers, asked the group. Some joked about collective bargaining. “Any Newsies fans here?” Eliza Orlins, a public defender and reality TV star known for her appearances on Survivor, posted in the group. “‘We’re a union just by sayin’ so!’”

Used the big three... rifle, shotgun AND a pistol so they can ban all of em. 

And don't think for a second TrumpyBear wont do it. He knows they have that video of him floating around out there so get ready folks.

'In seemingly stream-of-consciousness videos that she posted, she fixated on guns, violence and school shooters. She displayed her own cache of weapons, bullets and what appear to be explosive devices, scrawled with antisemitic and racist language and threats against President Donald Trump.

The videos also show pages from a diary, with long entries describing self hatred, violence against children, and a desire to inflict harm on herself. The diary entries are almost entirely written in English, but using Cyrillic letters. A sticker in the diary displays L.G.B.T.Q. and transgender flags with a gun and the slogan “Defend Equality.”

Police said that the videos have been taken offline.' New York Times

Children are Dangerous: Shoud be Outlawed

by Scott Creighton

 

Hello folks.

I was not here yesterday because, in my misguided efforts to help my neighbors, I went over the daycare place two houses down and helped them install a baby gate to keep the little rugrats out of the kitchen and away from sharp things and the food.

I say misguided because it didn't even occur to me that I would be defenseless against the little monsters' secret weapon: germs. 

This was Tuesday.

That night I started feeling bad and then on Wednesday I was down for the count. 

Someone should outlaw babies. Little walking incubators of nastiness, they are. 

Anyway, I am starting to feel a little better. Buckleys and Cepacol will do that I suppose.

Will try to be back later today or tomorrow at the latest. Take care and stay away from the little monsters if you can. Run screaming in the other direction if you see one of these things loose in the wild. 

Trump Order to Kill Cashless Bail Will Exacerbate Inequality While Doing Nothing to Fight Crime, Experts Say

(While TrumpyBear lets Ghislaine go to Club Fed and an Israeli pedophile flee the country, he cranks back up the bail bond industry so the poor and working poor get stuck in privatized jails for longer and eventually released on bail for a predatory financial system. Fuck the poor and the working man says TrumpyBear.)

by Scotty 

from Common Dreams

US President Donald Trump signed a pair of executive orders on Monday aimed at ending the policy of cashless bail for people accused of crimes, a move criminal justice reform advocates say will heighten the already massive inequality within the system while doing little to stop lawbreaking.

One order requires Washington, DC, which the president currently controls under "emergency authority," to end its cashless bail program. The other directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to identify other jurisdictions around the country with cashless bail so that they can have their federal funds restricted or suspended. 

Several states, including Illinois, New York, California, and New Jersey, have moved to significantly reduce or eliminate the use of cash requirements for those accused of crimes to be released pretrial. DC, meanwhile, was one of the first cities to implement the policy.

Jeremy Cherson, communications director for the Bail Project, told Common Dreams that cash bail creates a "two-tiered system of justice—one where people with money, regardless of risk, can pay bail and be released, whereas people without money will be detained, maybe unnecessarily, just because they can't afford to pay a bail amount."...

Trump moves to ban flag burning despite Supreme Court ruling that Constitution allows it

• put troops on the ground to 'police' major cities in America (Posse Commitatus Act ends)
• ruined the economy on purpose
• been caught lining his own pockets while in office
• sucked off Netanyahu and Adleson

President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order requiring the Justice Department to investigate and prosecute people for burning the American flag, an activity that the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled is legitimate political expression protected by the U.S. Constitution.

The order the Republican president signed in the Oval Office acknowledged the court’s 5-4 ruling in a case from Texas in 1989, but said there is still room to prosecute flag burning if it “is likely to incite imminent lawless action” or amounts to “fighting words.”

In that case, the justices ruled 5-4 that the First Amendment protects flag burning as legitimate political expression. The late Justice Antonin Scalia, the conservative icon who Trump has repeatedly praised, was in the majority...

Are You Kidding Me?!? Israel Kills 5 More Journalists While BOMBING A HOSPITAL!

by Scott Creighton

 

20 people died in Gaza when the IDF targeted Nasser Hospital again with yet another illegal and immoral 'double tap' strike, several were medical staff and 5 were journalists.

Palestinian patients fled the hospital without receiving the urgent care they were hoping to get which is of course the whole point of why the terrorist organization, the IDF, did it in the first place. 

Killing journalists while bombing hospitals and targeting rescue workers trying to save lives. Unbelievable. 

Four journalists, including Al Jazeera photographer Mohammad Salama, are among 20 people killed in an Israeli attack on Nasser Medical Complex in southern Gaza, according to the enclave’s Ministry of Health.

The ministry said on Monday that the victims were killed on the fourth floor of the hospital in a double-tap strike – one missile hitting first, then another moments later as rescue crews arrived.

Those killed also included Hussam al-Masri, who worked as a photojournalist for the Reuters news agency; Mariam Abu Daqqa, who worked as a journalist with several media outlets, including The Independent Arabic and The Associated Press news agency; and journalist Moaz Abu Taha, according to Gaza’s Government Media Office.

Netanyahu hinges coalition survival on Gaza reoccupation, reports say

from Daily Sabah

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pressing ahead with plans to reoccupy Gaza, with Israeli media reporting that failure to launch the offensive could trigger the collapse of his governing coalition as far-right ministers threaten to walk away.

The daily Maariv cited an unnamed military source saying Netanyahu is "insisting on moving forward with the offensive Gideon's Chariots 2."

The source added: "He understands that without the operation, he will not be able to maintain government cohesion and it will fall apart."

Far-right ministers, including National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, have threatened to withdraw from Netanyahu's coalition if he agrees to any deal to halt the ongoing Israeli military offensive in Gaza, now approaching 23 months.

Regarding a potential hostage release deal, the military source said Israel was "negotiating according to the plan of (US Middle East envoy) Steve Witkoff two weeks ago to release some captives without ending the war."

Zelensky vows to retake Crimea despite Trump’s peace push

 (For all those fake leftists who back the MIC's Ukrainian puppet)

from RT

Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky has rejected US calls to withdraw its claim to Crimea or make any territorial concessions to Russia.

In a speech marking Ukraine’s Independence Day on Sunday, Zelensky vowed to retake the peninsula, which is predominantly populated by ethnic Russians and overwhelmingly voted to join Russia after the 2014 Western-backed coup in Kiev. He also pledged to reclaim the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, which, along with Kherson and Zaporozhye Regions, joined Russia in 2022 after referendums.

“Here at the zero kilometer, this is a starting point where distances to Ukrainian cities are marked – to our Donetsk, our Lugansk, our Crimea,” Zelensky said in an address filmed at Kiev’s Maidan Square, the site of the Western-backed 2014 coup. “All of this is Ukraine… and no temporary occupation can change that. One day… we will be together again as one country. It’s only a matter of time.”

While mediating peace efforts between Moscow and Kiev, US President Donald Trump has floated the idea of “land swaps,” but firmly stated that Kiev will not regain Crimea, calling that scenario “impossible.”...

Putin’s Conditions for Peace Deal: Ukraine Gives Up Donbas, No NATO, and No Western Troops

(As I have said many times, Russia will settle for NATO remaining out of Ukraine and Donbass becomes part of Russia since they are why Putin got involved in this whole thing in the first place. And here we are. But Puppet Zelensky wont have it. Donbass left Ukraine on their own after our Nazi-backed coup in 2014 and have been bombed ever since by Kiev. Donbass will never go back to Ukraine just like Crimea wont. It is a good deal for Ukraine since they aren't really losing anything they hadn't already lost before Russia got involved. But it was always about baiting Russia into the conflict and so, they wont accept it.) 

from AntiWar

Reuters reported on Thursday that Russia’s demands for a peace deal in Ukraine include Ukrainian forces withdrawing from the Donbas, a guarantee that Ukraine won’t join NATO, and for Ukraine to keep Western troops out of the country.

Russian sources told Reuters that Putin had compromised on his initial conditions, which included the Ukrainian withdrawal from the territory in the southern Kherson and Zaporizhzhia oblasts. Under the current offer, Russia is willing to freeze the lines there and also return small amounts of territory it controls in Kharkiv, Sumy, and Dnipropetrovsk.

For his part, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has publicly rejected the idea of ceding the territory Ukrainian forces still control in the Donbas, and European leaders appear to be backing his position.

When it comes to NATO, the Reuters report said that Moscow is seeking a legally binding pledge from the alliance that it wouldn’t move further eastwards. A guarantee that Ukraine wouldn’t join NATO was one of Russia’s main demands to avoid the invasion, but the Biden administration refused to engage on the issue...

In leaked audio, ex-Israeli military intel chief justifies killing tens of thousands in Gaza -‘they need a Nakba once in a while’

from Mondoweiss

In leaked comments that were aired on Channel 12, Israel’s most-watched mainstream news channel, Israel’s former head of the Military Intelligence Directorate, Maj. Gen. (res.) Aharon Haliva has become the latest member of the Israeli establishment to make the case that it is necessary that Israel carry out a genocide in Gaza. 

“The fact that there are already 50,000 killed in Gaza is necessary and required for future generations. OK, you humiliated, slaughtered, murdered – all of that is true. The price, as I already said before the war, for everything that happened on the 7^th of October [is that] for every one [Israeli killed] on October 7, 50 Palestinians need to die,” Haliva says in the leak. “It doesn’t matter now [whether it’s] children, I’m not speaking from revenge, I’m speaking about it as a message for the coming generations, there is no choice – they need a Nakba once in a while in order to feel the price. There is no choice, in this crazy neighborhood”. 

Although it is not dated, the leak is presumably from late March this year, since Haliva refers to “the fact that there are already 50,000 killed in Gaza”. Haliva had held the second highest rank in the Israeli military in a unit that works alongside the Shin Bet and is responsible for making future risk assessments. Haliva resigned from his role a year ago, in response to the monumental intelligence failure on October 7, 2023. He was the first senior leader to resign, and others would follow...

ALBA-TCP Condemns US Military Buildup Near Venezuela as China and Regional Allies Back Maduro

from Venezuelan Analysis

Mexico City, Mexico, August 22, 2025 (venezuelanalysis.com) – Member nations from the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America–Peoples’ Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP) unanimously condemned recent US military deployments in Latin America and the Caribbean, labeling them as illegal and a threat to regional stability. 

Following the escalation of “narco-state” accusations against Caracas, the US dispatched about 4,000 troops to the southern Caribbean Sea, at the edge of Venezuela’s territorial waters, in a purported anti-narcotics operation.

“Cuba firmly denounces this new demonstration of imperial force and makes a call to ALBA-TCP and from here to all the peoples of the world to condemn this irrational attack by the Trump Administration,” said Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel at the XIII Extraordinary Summit on Wednesday.

The declaration from the summit stated that the US is carrying out political persecution, military threats, and economic blockades against Venezuela and Cuba, violating international law and destabilizing the region. It reaffirmed ALBA-TCP’s anti-imperialist stance, calling for regional unity, rejection of foreign intervention, and defense of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace...

Israeli forces tighten siege on occupied West Bank village, block ambulances

from PressTV

Israeli forces have tightened the siege on the village of al-Mughayyir in the occupied West Bank for a fourth day, intensifying their raids on homes, arrests of residents, and destruction of farmland.

Local activist Mohammed Abu Alia said troops stormed more than 30 houses, ransacked belongings, and fired tear gas inside one residence.

He added that soldiers seized vehicles, money and jewelry, while barring residents and journalists from entering the village. Many families have been stranded outside since Thursday.

Bulldozers were also seen clearing land to make way for a new settler road through the eastern outskirts of the village, uprooting hundreds of trees in the process. 

The incursions follow claims that an illegal settler was injured in a shooting operation at a settlement outpost built on the grounds of al-Mughayyir.

Rawhi Fattouh, head of the Palestinian National Council, denounced the raid as part of a “systematic policy of forced displacement and ethnic cleansing.”

He said the violence in al-Mughayyir was directly linked to Israel’s broader settlement agenda, including the recently approved E1 plan east of al-Quds.

Critics say the controversial scheme would sever the West Bank and prevent a viable Palestinian state...

For Every Jewish Zionist, There Are 30 Christian Zionists, & Netanyahu Exploits This

 (There are 2 forms of Zionism, religious & political. Zionist isn't necessarily synonymous w/Israeli or Jewish. In fact, the overwhelming number of Zionists are Christians outside Israel, especially in North America & Europe. Religious Zionism among Christians dates back to the early 1800s, then was expanded & politicized later that century.

Faisal Mohammad of TRT interviewed former vicar of the Church of England, peace activist Stephen Sizer, author of 3 published books on Christian Zionism. Sizer has been banned from serving in the Church until 2030 for his views on Zionism & Israeli policies.

It's a good interview from late 2023, before regime change in Syria, Trump's 2nd term & the worst of what we're seeing now in Gaza. But Sizer's off about Palestinians' being forced into Egypt & distorts Jimmy Carter, falsely lumping him in w/Ronald Reagan & Billy Graham.

After all, Israel helped stop Carter's re-election in 1980 in favor of Reagan out of fear the former would pressure it to accept a sovereign Palestinian state. Sizer's a man of the cloth in the UK & not necessarily an expert on U.S. history or politics.)

from TRT Global 

As Israel’s carpet bombing of Gaza has killed thousands of Palestinians and turned the city into a ghost town, the outpouring of global outrage and calls for a ceasefire remains steady.

Yet, the Israeli government led by Benjamin Netanyahu continues to employ an unapologetic rhetoric, invoking biblical references to sell his war to the ultra-right not just in Israel but also in the US, where he is enjoying the support of Christian Evangelists, a majority of whom identify with the global Zionist movement for a ‘Jewish homeland’. Their belief comes from the end-of-the-world interpretation of the bible leading to the second coming of Jesus Christ.

This belief is not just theological but also has created significant support for Israel in the political circles of the United States. Under the Donald Trump regime, evangelists took their seats in the power corridors with the likes of Vice President Mike Pence and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. In fact, Donald Trump also mentioned in a rally that the move to shift the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem was ‘for the evangelicals.’

Even the current US President Joe Biden has publicly identified himself as a ‘Zionist’ and at least 100 members of Congress are avowed evangelicals.

TRT World spoke to Stephen Sizer, the former Vicar of the Church of England. A peace activist authoring three books on the Christian Zionist movement and its support for the state of Israel, Sizer was recently banned from licensed ministry in the Church of England until 2030 for his views on Zionism and Israel’s policies in the Middle East...
