Image: one of our POW camps filled with captured soldiers of the Christmas regime.

Season's greetings, fellow godless communists. I'm here to disseminate orders from our Supreme Communist Dictator as we once again find ourselves fighting against the very concept of Christmas. As a reminder, by the end of our five-year plan, we plan to be in a position to attack and dethrone God, but this intermediate step is required to fulfil this directive. Our forces in the field have made significant, if gradual, progress since you received your mission update last year. It has been difficult, but we have developed a series of defensive lines to prepare for a counteroffensive out of Lapland that will try and reach the Gulf of Bothnia in an attempt to cut the land bridge that we have set up across Scandinavia.

Currently, we foresee a few major threats. General Santa Clauswitz has been developing many tools in his workshop, including artillery-launched snowballs, barbed tinsel, and reinforced gingerbread armor plating for his tanks and infantry carriers. President Frostyy has made the following public statement: "The socialists who wish to destroy us have no idea what their defenses are about to face. Democracy will always defeat autocracy. Christmas will always triumph over X-mas. The leaders of the axis facing us are all on the naughty list and will be tried for crimes against festivity once this war is over."

Delusional as this may be, the next couple days will be the most dangerous as they stage their counteroffensive, and we need everybody to pitch in and get into defensive positions. We expect this to be the last major push that they will make before collapse. Please report any Christmas trees, mistletoe, or general symbology of the Christmas regime to your superiors.

Over and out.

Israel-Palestine Conflict

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:

UNRWA daily-ish reports on Israel's destruction and siege of Gaza and the West Bank.

English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account. Alt here.
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. - Telegram is @IbnRiad.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis. - Telegram is @EyesOnSouth.
English-language Twitter account in the same group as the previous two. - Telegram here.

English-language PalestineResist telegram channel.
More telegram channels here for those interested.

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

Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict

Sources:

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.

Pro-Russian Telegram Channels:

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

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 Telegram Channels:

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.

The king of U.S. fascism and genocide—Andrew Jackson—apparently taught his parrot to swear, and it was so foul-mouthed and obnoxious and disruptive at his funeral that they kicked it out.

Bit idea: Go into chud Facebook groups complaining about the lack of gloryholes in this day and age and blame their disappearance on “the woke mob”. Then try to get people riled up enough to start a movement dedicated to bringing them back.

Today's Gaza combat footage, featuring another instance of planting a bomb right on the side of a tank.

Its crazy hiw small some of these tunnel holes are. Do you think some of them are improvised? Im thinking long horizontal tunnels with locations that can be very quickly dug or excavated to provide dynamic ambushes. It's crazy how close this guy pops up beside that tank

Evo Morales can no longer run for President.

Bolivia's Plurinational Constitutional Court has overturned a previous ruling by the same court allowing indefinite re-election. As a result, Evo Morales, the country's former president, cannot stand for re-election in 2025. The Court considered that the human right to be elected has limitations, and that the country's constitution prohibits more than two terms for one person.

Well, this sucks. I still have hope that Luis Arce and Evo Morales still reconciliate just like Lula da Silva and Marina Silva did.

A young Israeli man has been jailed for refusing mandatory service

Tal Mitnick, an 18-year-old Israeli, has been sentenced to 30 days in military prison for refusing to enlist in the army in protest of Israel’s war in Gaza.

“Violence cannot solve the situation, neither by Hamas nor by Israel. There is no military solution to a political problem,” he wrote in a statement explaining his decision.

Update from Yahya Sinwar, the head of Hamas:

Al-Qassam Brigades are engaged in fierce, intense, and unprecedented battles against the IOF forces, causing significant losses in both their lives & equipment for the occupying army.

Al-Qassam targeted at least 5,000 soldiers/officers during the ground battles, resulting in 1/3 killed, 1/3 seriously injured, and the remaining 1/3 with permanent disabilities. Regarding military vehicles, 750 of them were destroyed, either completely or partially.

Al-Qassam have shattered the Israeli army, continuing on the path of breaking it, and they will not submit to the conditions of the occupation.

I have been thinking a bit about Javier Milei and his government. It is clear that this guy is going to fail miserably. I've even seen some liberals saying that this guy is crazy and that his reforms will not pass congress.

It seems as if he is trying to speedrun a communist revolution or just dumb enough to believe 100% in his own ideology. The thing is, most people in Latin America like having a strong state, as long as it doesn't directly interfere in their private lives. Everyone enjoys public transportation, healthcare, public education and social security.

What this guy is doing is destroying the state because he is either dumb and really thinks it will help, or he is just evil and wants to steal as much money as he can in his job while making life really worse for people. Since destroying the state would mean destroying the lives of the people who depend on it, which is basically 90% of the population.

Also, it's really funny how he's fucked, he has no relation to China or Brazil. The US doesn't care about him. And he destroyed all the media platforms that the government had, besides his social media accounts.

reddit is full of fedposting and shitlibs and chuds, of course, but I swear since even western MSM started to talk about Ukraine like it's a lost cause, the posts about "evil ruZZians" resurged with a fresh momentum.

users on r/europe have the gall to say Gaza is off-topic since it's not in Europe, even though EU countries send weapons to Israel - so it would definitely be more relevant to the presumably Western redditors handwringing about Putler. But I guess they don't want to vote out politicians aiding Israel's genocide. EU and European redditors are the worst kind of shitlibs.

Taiwan has given me a Boris Yeltsin moment where I just sat outside and stared at everything. It's hard to see a country smaller and just as much of a US vassal as yours reaping the benefits so much more. All we get out of it is corruption, violence, and cultural regression. We have more resources and territory than Taiwan with a much younger population. Yet we're still barely above countries like Argentina and Ukraine that are torn apart at the moment.

Part of me doesn't want to leave after experiencing a better living standard than even the US when I lived there.

Another part of me remembers the comrades back at home that are still fighting on and it's at that point that I remember why I chose to go back.

UK Deploys Military Ship to the Caribbean Sea, Venezuela Warns

"A warship in waters to be delimited? What about the commitment to good neighborliness and peaceful coexistence?," Venezuelan Defense Minister asked.

On Sunday, Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez asserted that Venezuela is maintaining heightened alerts after the United Kingdom announced the dispatch of a warship to Guyana amid the territorial dispute between the two South American countries.

A warship in waters to be delimited? What? What about the commitment to good neighborliness and peaceful coexistence? And what about the agreement not to threaten or use force mutually under any circumstances?" he asked.

"We remain vigilant in the face of these provocations that jeopardize the peace and stability of the Caribbean and our Americas!" the Bolivarian Defense Minister stated, alluding to the potential threat posed by the British presence to the Venezuela-Guyana agreements signed in St. Vincent and the Grenadines on Dec. 14.

On that day, Venezuelan President Nicolss Maduro and Guyanese President Irfaan Ali pledged not to mutually threaten each other and to "avoid incidents" regarding the Essequibo, a territory of 160,000 square kilometers rich in natural resources, gas, and oil.

On Sunday, the British BBC reported that the United Kingdom is preparing to send the HMS Trent warship as a "show of military and diplomatic support" to Guyana.

The controversy over the Essequibo escalated after Venezuelans reaffirmed their sovereignty over the territory through a referendum on Dec. 3. Subsequently, in response to the popular mandate, the Venezuelan state appointed provisional authorities for that area.

"The HMS Trent will visit our regional allies and Commonwealth partners in Guyana later this month as part of a series of commitments in the region during its deployment on Atlantic patrol," confirmed a spokesperson for the British Defense Ministry.

Can't wait for the UK to lose these ships to bad weather

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/12/27/indonesian-students-evict-rohingya-from-shelter-demanding-deportation

Hundreds of university students in Indonesia’s westernmost province of Aceh have stormed a temporary shelter for Rohingya refugees, demanding they be deported.

Protesters on Wednesday forced more than 100 Rohingya out of a convention centre in the city of Banda Aceh, in the latest episode of discrimination against the persecuted minority group from Myanmar.

More than 1,500 Rohingya refugees have arrived on the shores of Aceh since mid-November in what the United Nations says is their biggest influx in eight years.

Some of their boats have faced rejection by Indonesian locals and in some cases, returned to sea.

Videos of the incident showed the students, many wearing jackets with different universities’ insignias, running into the convention centre’s basement, chanting “Kick them out” and “Reject Rohingya in Aceh”.

Fascism spreading and totally not a coincidence that many of people who spread propaganda against rohingyas are supporters of the war criminal and literal school of americas alumni candidate
