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.

Breaking 🚨🇧🇫- Construction of a nuclear power plant in Burkina Faso: A memorandum will be signed on Friday in Moscow Picture: illustration

Burkina Faso and Russia will sign on Friday October 13, 2023, a Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) for the construction of a nuclear power plant, as expressed by Captain Ibrahim Traore last July at St Petersburg, during an interview with the great leader of Russia 🇷🇺, Vladimir Putin.

Rosatom, the Russian State atomic energy agency, and our Ministry of Energy will sign a MOU on Friday October 13, 2023 in Moscow for the construction of a nuclear power plant, according to the govt. This signing will take place on the sidelines of the Russian Energy Week which is taking place from October 11 to 13, 2023.

When @CapitaineIb226 told Vladimir Putin during the Russia-Africa summit, that it’s urgent for him to have the nuclear plant in Burkina Faso as soon as possible, that the plant could even cover the energy needs of the sub-region, I remember many soothsayers, Francophiles and Françafricans laughed at us and said that, the young man was trying to bite off more than he can chew. Well, let them laugh now! Folks, we have uranium in Burkina that we haven’t even touched yet. But we could start working with Niger that already has their mine fully operational.

You see, ORANO formerly AREVA is a French multinational nuclear fuel cycle company, that is one of the best out there! And how did they get their prestige? With Niger’s uranium that they have been mining for free since 1971. I say free because France buys that uranium with the CFA Franc that they themselves are printing. So, it’s free, and no one can tell me otherwise. And yet, France has never intended to help any of her former colonies to obtain a nuclear plant. Folks, does that tell you? It tells you France is a serious threat to our development. This is why, 63 years after “independence”, we are still the last and the poorest. Therefore, we must end all cooperation with the French, and kick them out!

Two South Africans have found to have been killed, one who also holds Israeli citizenship. https://ewn.co.za/2023/10/13/2-south-africans-killed-in-israel-palestine-conflict-dirco

Not much more has been revealed unfortunately, so the pigpoopballs and ripbozo probably aren't yet ready.

Also South Africans in Gaza (and Palestinians who hold South African citizenship) are completely cut off from communications with the South African government.

Israel's Defense Minister Gallant about the Hamas attack: Everything is directed from Iran. The permission is given by Iran. The money is supplied by Iran, and the ideas are shaped in Iran.

Does china even need the capitalists anymore? They legit have enough productive forces to rely entirely on a collective planned economy.

Although getting rid of the international capitalists will not be easy

Mehr news agency published a report in Persian saying that IDF and "Lebanon's Army" had clashes with each other and Israel blew up a watch tower of the Lebs Army. Take it with a grain of salt.

huge explosions on the Gaza live stream right now, at least 2-3 seconds from the camera given how long it took the sound to arrive. : (

I wonder if Alan Sugar still wants to move his family to Israel because of how antisemitic the UK left are?

There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
