There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.


If you have evidence of Israeli crimes and atrocities that you wish to preserve, there is a thread here in which to do so.


Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:

English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account.
English-language twitter account that collates news (and has automated posting when the person running it goes to sleep).
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis.

English-language PalestineResist telegram channel.

Various sources that are covering the Ukraine conflict are also covering the one in Palestine, like Rybar.


The Country of the Week is Palestine! Feel free to chime in with books, essays, longform articles, even stories and anecdotes or rants. More detail here.


Here is the map of the Ukraine conflict, courtesy of Wikipedia.

The weekly update is here.

Links and Stuff


The bulletins site is down.

Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists

Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict

Add to the above list if you can.


Resources For Understanding The War


Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.

Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.

Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.

Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.

On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists' side.

Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.


Telegram Channels

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

Pro-Russian

https://t.me/aleksandr_skif ~ DPR's former Defense Minister and Colonel in the DPR's forces. Russian language.

https://t.me/Slavyangrad ~ A few different pro-Russian people gather frequent content for this channel (~100 posts per day), some socialist, but all socially reactionary. If you can only tolerate using one Russian telegram channel, I would recommend this one.

https://t.me/s/levigodman ~ Does daily update posts.

https://t.me/patricklancasternewstoday ~ Patrick Lancaster's telegram channel.

https://t.me/gonzowarr ~ A big Russian commentator.

https://t.me/rybar ~ One of, if not the, biggest Russian telegram channels focussing on the war out there. Actually quite balanced, maybe even pessimistic about Russia. Produces interesting and useful maps.

https://t.me/epoddubny ~ Russian language.

https://t.me/boris_rozhin ~ Russian language.

https://t.me/mod_russia_en ~ Russian Ministry of Defense. Does daily, if rather bland updates on the number of Ukrainians killed, etc. The figures appear to be approximately accurate; if you want, reduce all numbers by 25% as a 'propaganda tax', if you don't believe them. Does not cover everything, for obvious reasons, and virtually never details Russian losses.

https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses ~ Pro-Russian, documents abuses that Ukraine commits.

Pro-Ukraine

Almost every Western media outlet.

https://discord.gg/projectowl ~ Pro-Ukrainian OSINT Discord.

https://t.me/ice_inii ~ Alleged Ukrainian account with a rather cynical take on the entire thing.


Last week's discussion post.

Been looking at historical statistics of how populations become socialist leaning and how life expectancy is correlated to it. By eyeballing it, I've determined a strong correlation of sustained (30+ years of it) life expectancies of 35-50 years resulting in political change or revolution towards socialism.

Obviously non-related fact: transgender people on average have a life expectancy of 35 in the USA. Black trans people have a life expectancy of 25. Many areas of the south are approaching the cool zone on average. Reservations have been there for a long time. If other countries are a signifiers of a trend, large segments of the American south will experience significant turmoil and partial revolutions within 10-40 years even in white areas.

To note: many parts of Cuba had high life expectancies, but the rural mountainous areas fell in with Castro due to sustained life expectancy issues. I would posit that as new generations are born into this life expectancy issue we will see some extreme shifts.

Rare footage shows almost the entire assault of a Ukrainian position defending Verboeve village.

BMD-4 provides cover to allow paratroopers to approach the trench, then it's slow but methodical move trench clearing. Ukrainians that don't die eventually surrender.

CW: One body seen clearly from drone.

Only posting because it's a pretty rare one showing what a successful trench offensive actually looks like.

What do we expect from tomorrow's Arab League summit? Just more condemnations/finger waving, or actual support for Palestine?

Also, has there been any word on OPEC meeting? Would be based if they lead another embargo on the US & Europe. I don't think the US could supply Europe on its own for too long. Probably wishful thinking though.

CNN just said that Gaza's only power plant ran out of fuel.

Former IOF Chief of Staff, Moshe Ya'alon stated, "The 'israeli' government and its president must resign and admit failure."

This comes at a time in which zionist sources publish: "Despite all the strikes on Gaza, to date we have not achieved an important result from a military standpoint."

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of settlers have abandoned their settlements outside of Gaza and in northern occupied Palestine, to the point where they are described as "ghost towns."

🇵🇸 ☭ Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades (PFLP Military Wing) on Telegram:

"The Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades declares its responsibility for the heroic Jerusalem operation and mourns its fellow fighter, Khaled Mohtaseb.

— In solidarity with our heroic resistance fighters in Gaza as they fight the battle of the “Al-Aqsa Flood,” and in response to the heinous Zionist crimes against our people in the valiant Strip and in the West Bank and Jerusalem, the Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades declares its responsibility for the heroic Jerusalem operation, which led to the injury of many Occupation soldiers.

The Brigades also mourns its fellow fighter, Khaled Mohtaseb, who carried out the heroic operation.

Glory to the martyrs and victory to the resistance"

Any chance we could swap the header links to nitter instead of twitter?
