Massive wide spread Spectrum outtage across the country last night. Particularly hard hit was LA.

Wonder if something silly is about to go down?

New media blitz discussing rape and sexual assault of israeli hostages during captivity by Hamas. The account quite frankly seems believable enough at first blush. Hamas has apparently released a response criticizing the account's truthfulness, but of course the western press isn't covering that with any kind of detail (such that I can't even find it!) and instead uncritically repeating the claims of the victim and Israeli politicians bloviating about why they have to continue genocide "tO sAvE tHe HoStAgEs" as if their operations have anything to do with that at this point.

Even if the allegations are true, which is at least plausible, the timing and media strategy seems more in response to the recent UN ceasefire vote than actually seeking justice in any meaningful sense of the word.

Are any of you sickos still following the Ukraine frontline stuff enough to know if anything significant has happened since Avdiivka fell? I keep hearing that Russia is advancing basically across the entire line of contact but haven't heard of any big wins in a little while. Rumors of a Kharkov offensive?

Major protests in solidarity with the resistance have renewed in Amman, Jordan during the past several days. The focus of the protests is the embassy of the occupier, with which the Hashemite puppet regime retains numerous agreements and close ties. The police enforcers of the Hashemite regime have continued their months-long crackdown against the overwhelmingly pro-Palestine population and responded with the usual state violence.

To be clear, most of the reports were from the night before

Libs on Twitter are going full QAnon about the attack in Russia.

Yes I got first!

Well, kind of.

Here's a photo from yesterday's demonstration in memory of the Coup of 1976. Meanwhile, the government, through official channels, officially challenged the 30,000 victims number of the dictatorship and uploaded their own video which tries to "tell the whole story", which goes like there was a war and "the other side" were bloodlust terrorists (Even though by the time the coup happened, the guerrillas were all battered) and the actual number of disappeared people is 8,700 and there's no genocide. This is the first time ever in which a government has made a very clear genocide denial case, at least regarding this case of genocide in particular (This government also denies there's a genocide in Palestine and also it is common for many governments to deny that the "Conquest of the Desert", the expansion of the State through native lands in Patagonia, constitutes a genocide). This is extremely dangerous.

Includes an analysis that say 99% of Israel's arms come from and (1% from ). Calls for sanctions and an arms embargo.

EDIT: It should be noted that Ben Norton is wrong in this video about the resolution being binding, though. UNSC resolutions can be binding, but this one was not. Which should be no shock to anyone: the U.S. would have vetoed it if it had been a binding resolution.

CENTCOM is claiming Ansarallah struck a Chinese-owned ship with multiple missiles

Anybody see anything about this from a source that isn't the great satan?

Elements of the Russian Pacific fleet have reportedly entered the Rea Sea.
Looks like two ships so far. I would assume they're just travelling to some port in Eastern Russia, but given that the Houthis are still attacking US military ships in the area, there is potential for some misunderstandings here

The Resistance is beginning to take up arms against the traitorous PA:

So the collaborator oligarchs that are conducting genocide in West Papua had the audacity to ask the Western mining conglomerate Freeport to invest in downstream industries and they are complaining.

Classic

There is a new movie from Russia called Zero Cosmonaut (trailer) based on the Italian hoax about how the USSR sent countless test subjects to die in space before Yuri Gagarin finally succeeded.

In this film, the evil Soviet Union sent a WOMAN (based on the original hoax where some Italian radio operators apparently picked up on a woman’s voice in space, or maybe because women are seen as less valuable so they are disposable for space missions if you want to be a lib about it) who became the first human to enter the orbit before her spacecraft came into trouble and needed to be rescued by some amateur ham radio operators on earth.

You cannot make this shit up! Russia as a country is truly a joke! Imagine turning foreigners’ ridicule of your success into a movie lol.

The premiere is on April 24, 2024. A spaceship with the first person on board, Lyudmila Alexeeva, finds itself in a dire situation. Orbiting in unmanned mode, the ship suddenly stops responding to signals from the Earth control center. Fear and uncertainty grip the cosmonaut, realizing that returning to Earth is becoming less likely.

With no communication with Earth and all hopes dwindling, Lyudmila is forced to make a risky decision - to try to find a way back home on her own. However, just when hope seems lost, an unexpected distress signal is picked up by a ham radio operator on Earth. Now begins a race against time, where every minute could be crucial in saving Lyudmila and her ship. Will she be able to overcome all challenges and return to Earth?

Just read an article that talks about imperialism, neo-colonialism, coloniality, decoloniality and feminism that was funded by the NED.

We believe in collective movements and are interested in further observing the growing connectivity within and without the region, especially in the last few years: from Thailand to Myanmar and Hong Kong, as seen in the Milk Tea Alliance and pro-democracy movements. These show us the power of the people, who are constantly building political solidarity for a common goal. Our shared past (i.e. colonialism) still shapes our shared present struggle for an inclusive democracy.

Anti-imperialism in form but imperialism in substance.

Kulak literally feels the heat of climate change, colonizes pond and expreses their desire for a sterile pool in place of a wildlife filled pond

I knew right away it was a newt. The sucking, or rather, clenching sensation on my skin had become a surprisingly familiar sensation, given all the amphibians also seeking to reduce their body temperature on this extraordinarily hot day in our watering hole.  

The first time I sensed it as I floated, I absentmindedly felt up my leg for the cause of that curious feeling. I was shocked when I found the slimy, bright green creature. I tore it off and flung it far away with surely unsurvivable vehemence. 

Their first instinct is to throw an animal, good start

I regret doing that as later I learned it was likely endangered.

But not bad you threw it as far as possible, only that it's endangered

Prior to the heat dome, I used to think the effects of climate change on our farm were manageable. I must admit that I did not have a firm grasp on the immediacy and severity of the situation, and I had no idea I would feel it so personally. 

As always no one (in the imperial core) thinks climate change will happen to them, it's one of those things that happens to other people on the news and twitter

I can now swim with creepy crawlies without feeling I have to kill them all, but that is the extent of my increased environmentalism.

They accidentally made a wildlife sanctuary pond to fight fires, and now they act magnanimous about not exterminating it so they don't have to share with various animals

Corina Yoris, the candidate chosen by the Venezuelan opposition to replace Maria Corina Machado, has complained that she is not being allowed to register as a candidate. "My rights as a Venezuelan citizen are being violated".

With just a few hours to go until the deadline, the opposition parties authorized by the CNE to register candidates are unable to access the registration system. During Yoris' speech, the campaign put up a television to prove that the system is not accepting registrations.

Yoris is opposed to socialism and communism; she says that the free market regulates prices, that communism was responsible for the death of millions and that the ideology resulted with Venezuela becoming divided.

Holy shit, they keep choosing the most unpopular dipshit to run against Maduro. Her wikipedia page was created literally 2 days ago, she lacks a spanish version of it.
