Marco Rubio 2 days ago: “Imagine if Iran funded the well-being of its people, rather than its military Trump today: “We can’t fund daycare or Medicaid, we need more money for our military” Sometimes the jokes write themselves.

I just want you to remember. That we live in a world where octopuses dream, otters have a favorite shell that they carry with them all their lives, cows have best friends, and bees have different "dialects" of dance depending on the region. Cats purr at a frequency that accelerates bone healing, the forest grows flowers first after a fire, and dolphins give each other names and respond to them. Penguins make proposals by giving each other the most beautiful pebble

This is Croatia right now… Everyone needs to know what is happening in our world right now: Our planet has been experiencing the most extreme heat event in world history. This is the coldest summer of the rest of your life. July was the hottest month in the United States since we records began in 1895—Washington, USA burned to the ground. June was the hottest month in Europe, exceeded 40 degrees Celsius, shattering all heat records—caused over 25,000 deaths across the continent. Venezuela, Columbia, Indonesia, and Malaysia earthquakes crashing. The planet has recorded exactly 10 major earthquakes of magnitude 7.0 or higher—Earthquakes are not caused by CO2, but climate change can modulate them by secondary effects. Rivers in China and Europe are drying up, reaching historically low levels—Just for perspective, the drying of these rivers will impact shipping routes, leading to a skyrocketing in the prices of food, fuel, and energy. El Niño has begun, driving ocean temperatures to record-breaking highs—Nearly three decades ago, a catastrophic El Niño claimed 23,000 lives and inflicted billions of dollars in global economic damage. Canada burned to the ground, and Greenland's ice sheet is collapsing—slowing down the overturning of heat in the North Atlantic, pushing the whole monsoon system down further south, causing droughts and forest fires over the Amazon rainforest. The severity of this heatwave is truly hard to comprehend. What's going on there is a foreshadowing of our future. Scientists confirmed that heatwaves driven by climate change. Climate change is not a "hoax." It’s real and it’s happening. If you are not a scientist, and you disagree with scientists about science, it’s actually not a disagreement. You're just wrong. Science is not truth. Science is finding the truth. When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more. This is no longer just a climate crisis. Climate chaos is inevitable. This is a humanitarian crisis. Just because you do not take an interest in climate change, doesn't mean climate change won't take an interest in you. We should start naming heatwaves after fossil fuel and oil companies, and wildfires after arms and defense industries. And Could reporters stop asking if leaders believe in climate change and start asking if they understand it instead. The world must remember that we live in a society, not an economy.

here are my thoughts on Jason Arday, who just committed suicide after being incessantly hounded by the entire UK and US media class from across the ideological spectrum, The Guardian to The Telegraph and New York Times. After it was revealed that he committed plagiarism in his PhD thesis and academic work, he resigned, but it was not enough. They kept picking at him every day, over and over. They wanted to turn him into a symbol for the lack of ability of every non-white scholar. They wanted to make him the poster-boy for "woke 1", to use AOCIA's phrasing, and all its evils and depravities, so they couldn't let it go even after he had resigned and it was already over. So I want to compare and contrast Arday with another person: Bill Ackman's wife Neri Oxman, who is an Israeli Zionist Jew. She completed her PhD at MIT in 2010, and in the same year joined MIT's media lab as part of the faculty. There she was allowed to found a "research group" that was heavily funded, including by Jeffrey Epstein. Her PhD was found to be filled with plagiarism: As you can see there, her plagiarism was massive, and included literally copy-pasting from Wikipedia and plagiarizing from another already caught plagiarist: This is worse than anything Arday was accuse of by a million miles. She didn't even copy-paste from other academic sources, she copy-pasted FROM FUCKING WIKIPEDIA. This was a marginal item for a few days, her husband Bill Ackman, a fanatical genocidal Zionist, defended her plagiarism by saying that copy-pasting from Wikipedia and all the rest is actually completely normal and fine, and he pressured Business Insider's owners to review and retract the reporting ( and then everyone forgot about it and she still has her PhD in good standing. If she hadn't already left her MIT position in 2021, she would still have it today, and everyone knows it because no one dares touch a Zionist Israeli Jew who can hysterically cry ANTISEMITISM ANTISEMITISM and get Jake Tapper, Dana Bash, everyone at the NYT, BBC, CNN, Guardian alongside the vast Israel lobby and regime to rise to their defense. No one attempted to make her into the symbol for Zionist Jewish supremacists and their deception and lies and how they worm themselves into elite academia and then use their Zionist Jewish supremacist husbands and the entire Israel lobby to defend them when they get caught. Jason Arday had no one. A few marginal voices attempted to call of the dogs, but they were themselves swamped with death threats and insanity. He was systematically murdered by the media and political class, while countless Neri Oxman's slither around at MIT, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cambridge, Oxford without a worry in the world because they know exactly where power really, actually lies.

This is what Israel calls a Palestinian terror attack: A Palestinian man took his 17-year-old son with him to try to put out a fire Israeli settlers had started in their fields Israeli settlers shot his son in the neck at point-blank range then kept shooting as he lay dying on the ground They shot another young Palestinian who was there in the leg, then shot him dead as he tried to crawl away Israeli soldiers were there the whole time and only started shooting when other Palestinians who were there tried to fight back This is not “settler violence” This is genocide

I can’t even fathom The doctor hoped the girl would faint so he could amputate her leg, since their anesthesia supply had been exhausted and Israel was blocking any more from entering.

The American empire is both the world's single largest polluter and the greatest purveyor of violence— its imperial apparatus consists of 1000+ air, naval, land bases; the largest arsenal of nuclear/ weaponry globally— with over a trillion dollars spent annually to sustain this death machine.

IMPORTANT. A CNN journalist witnessed Israeli settlers abduct and blindfold a Palestinian farmer for refusing to leave his land, as IDF soldiers stood guard. He was later shot, while the IDF blocked the road to prevent anyone from coming to his aid, making sure he would die.

NSSM-200. National Security Study Memorandum 200. 1974. Written under Henry Kissinger. Classified until 1989. Its subject: world population growth and its implications for American national security. Its argument: population growth in the developing world, specifically in thirteen countries identified by name, including Nigeria, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Mexico, represented a strategic threat to the United States. Not because overpopulation causes humanitarian crisis. Because large, young populations in resource-rich countries create political pressure for those countries to control their own resources. The memo was explicit: if developing countries develop politically conscious, resource-nationalist governments responding to their own populations' needs, they will demand control of their oil, their minerals, their agricultural land. And that control would come at the expense of American access. The solution proposed was population control programs, funded through USAID and international organizations, targeting those specific countries. Not as humanitarian aid. As strategic intervention to reduce the political pressure that large populations place on governments to actually serve their people. This document exists. It is declassified. You can read it. And then you can look at fifty years of American-funded population programs in the Global South with the full knowledge of what the architects said, privately, in 1974, about what those programs were actually for. The aid was real. The stated purpose was false. The document says so.

🇨🇺 Cuba President Diaz-Canel, on Fidel Castro's 100th birthday: "To be a Fidelista is not to profess blind faith; it is an honorable attitude toward life. To be a Fidelista means defining ourselves as permanent anti-imperialist fighters, against every injustice in the world. And celebrating the eternity of the Commander in Chief means, above all, defeating once again those who tried to assassinate him more than 600 times and only succeeded in magnifying his stature. The soldier of ideas is back in a way that must terrify his adversaries. The resurgence of fascism across the world is imposing on the Global South an ideological war that, in its cultural and media dimensions, insists on shielding capitalism as our hegemonic destiny, subordinate to imperialist logic, seeking to erase historical memory, to recolonize us culturally and break our identities. At the same time, and toward those same ends, the media war unfolds, with its campaigns of disinformation and poison, directed against the most elementary human values as if they were obsolete, to justify wars and acts of aggression as incompatible with international law as the genocide in Gaza, the aggression against Iran, or the energy blockade on Cuba. Fidel lives in every Cuban medical professional who saves a life, most of the time without even having the indispensable medicine. In the educators who abandon the classroom neither in the city nor in the mountains. When future historians look back through time searching for Fidel Castro Ruz, the Commander in Chief, they will no longer see just one man: they will see his people, and the millions who, inspired by his exemplary life, earned their place in history by standing up, unbowed, to the most powerful and criminal empire, and prevailing.

Oracle Official Brags About Providing Israel With “Scary Technology” To Aid Its Genocide In Gaza Israeli-American businesswoman Safra Catz speaks of how proud she was that five members of her team were all “in uniform” and working in the Israeli Kirya [Israel’s military headquarters]. OpenAI that owns ChatGPT uses Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

So if I have this right: the CIA itself understands and is saying that Israel manufactures false intelligence to make Trump fear non-existent threats from Iran so that he will continue to use American resources and sacrifice service members to fight their wars for them? Huh.

The answer to the question "Why is that terrible thing happening?" is usually "Because it makes some rich white guys wealthier" or "Because it helps shore up US planetary domination" or "Because Israel wants it," and it's usually some combination of all three.
