Image is of Bolivian President Luis Arce (center, with glasses) face-to-face with General Zuñiga (in camouflage) during the coup attempt.


On the 26th of June, while Hexbear was in an 8-hour hibernation, General Juan José Zuñiga marched 200 troops and some armored vehicles on the government palace in an attempt to overthrow the democratically elected government of Luis Arce. This is somewhat reminiscent of Jeanine Anez's coup in November 2019 where she overthrew the socialist president Evo Morales, but while that coup was due to a colour revolution likely orchestrated by the United States and had at least a tiny amount of political/public legitimacy and "followed the rules" in a certain sense (as Morales was trying to abolish presidential term limits, which is only evil if a socialist is doing it), this was a much more naked attempted seizure of power by a military general.

This coup was quickly terminated without even a momentary transfer of power. Democracy was saved.

Despite being in the same party, Morales and Arce have increasingly been in opposition. Morales champions anti-imperialism, rights for indigneous people, and poverty reduction. This last one especially has been threatened by Arce, though it's not entirely his fault, as the Bolivian economy is threatened by the same crisis affecting so many developing economies around the world right now - say it with me now - a lack of dollars and mounting debt. The US Federal Reserve is carrying out a bloody offensive against the world's poor, and this has combined nastily with a rather uninspiring "post"-coronavirus economic recovery in Bolivia, as well as diminishing natural gas production (and thus less exports with which to earn dollars).

While the coup was ongoing, Morales banded behind the government. Afterwards, however, Morales expressed his skepticism about whether the coup was, in fact, genuine, calling for an independent investigation into it, and saying that Arce “disrespected the truth, deceived us, lied, not only to the Bolivian people but to the whole world." This is because General Zuñiga made a series of very interesting statements to his family and colleagues, saying that Arce had "betrayed" him, and saying that Arce had told him “‘The situation is very screwed up, very critical. It is necessary to prepare something to raise my popularity.'" This does check out on the surface level, at least: Arce has suffered increasing unpopularity as the economy has suffered.

Interestingly, Morales' narrative has been supported by the anarchocapitalist leader of Argentina, Javier Milei, who is currently busy completely destroying his own country and stripping the copper out of the walls to give to American capitalists. Milei said that the coup attempt was "fraudulent". Meanwhile, those inside MAS opposed to Morales' accusations of a false coup have accused him of allying with the fascist right and becoming an instrument of imperialism.

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/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/gonzowarr ~ A big Russian commentator.

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.

In a way, this makes me respect Democrats and their voters even less. If Biden had balls, he would have all Supreme Court justices assassinated before noon and declare himself God Emperor. If he prepares for the civil war before it starts, he could set himself up to win it. He and his dynasty could rule the USA for the next couple of centuries.

In a stunning turn of events, the Supreme Court has once again hit that sweet 6-3 split, this time on the question of whether ol Donny Trump can wriggle his way out of his biggest jam yet.

This SCOTUS ruling sets the precedent that the office of the Presidency is immune to any legal repercussions for crimes committed as part of an ‘official act’. Any president can now do whatever they want in office and face 0 consequences for it.

Remember, you have to VOTE Dem forever now, lest this weaponised office of unchecked power that the Dems have done nothing to meaningfully stop the creation of fall into the hands of a Republican. Your ability to continue VOTEing Dem while conditions deteriorate depends on it!

Make way make way news coming through

https://x.com/igorsushko/status/1807603930601578971?s=46

🧵🚨 URGENT: Scientist whose previous work included directed energy beam research for the US intelligence community said Biden's symptoms during the CNN debate made him think of the Havana Syndrome. This is according to former KGB spy Yuri Shvets who defected to the US in 1993.

That's right folks the russians mind beamed your glorious leader, the cognitive decline that you saw was not a cold but a hot, like a sizzling fajita, microwave hitting the powerful cranium of Joe, the CIA and the FBI are on the case but it seems like the only way to protect the president is through a helmet not unlike the Comic book villain Magneto. Reports indicate that the Military Industrial Complex is building the most expensive tinfoil hat money can buy.

Meeting the restrictions to the letter would disrupt the Pentagon’s ability to purchase the vast quantities of medical supplies, drugs, clothing and other types of logistical support the military relies on, officials contend. “There are certain parts of the world where you literally cannot get away from Huawei,” said Brennan Grignon, the founder of 5M Strategies and a former Defense Department official. “The original legislation had very good intentions behind it, but the execution and understanding of the implications of what it would mean, I personally think that wasn’t really thought through,” she said."

US can't ban Huawei use by the US government because the US needs Huawei to conduct imperialism abroad because western companies won't operate in warzones the US created.

The Pentagon is against the US blanket banning Huawei hardware for supposed "national security" reasons because of national security reasons.

Ah, well, Biden's losing? damn. Should have picked Sanders when they had the chance to save their pathetic party. But no, they went for Hillary first (the eternal loser) and a walking cadaver second. This is all of their own doing. The man was even willing to drag himself through the dirt for the party, but even as he became very obedient, he was stabbed over and over again. Not that I pity Sanders too much, regardless.

You know, sometimes you gotta pay for the things you broke. This goes for the Dems and for the whole capitalist class, but that one is for later down the line.

Balloons from North Korea disrupt air traffic

The balloons full of garbage that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) has been sending to South Korea for weeks are having an impact on air traffic. More than 110 flights have been disrupted by the balloon launches that have been going on since the end of March, said South Korean MP Jeong Jun Ho on Wednesday, citing the Ministry of Transport. More than 10,000 passengers were affected. The DPRK is using the balloons to respond to previous actions from South Korea in which propaganda material was also sent north in balloons.

“What Keir has done is taken all the left out of the Labour Party,” billionaire businessman John Caudwell, previously a big Tory donor, told the BBC. “He’s come out with a brilliant set of values and principles and ways of growing Britain in complete alignment with my views as a commercial capitalist.”

The Labour Party highlighted his endorsement.

Based protestors cancel largest pride parade in Canada

Thousands sing, dance and celebrate at Pride Parade until protesters strand marchers and floats mid-route (ARCHIVE: Toronto Star)

A group of 30 protestors affiliated(?) with No Pride in Policing successfully stops Pride Toronto mid-route, Canada's largest pride parade (at least 1 million+) in the name of Palestine, Sudan and the Congo.

No Pride In Policing had a massive independent pride march with thousands of people lead by Black, Indigenous, and Palestinian queers screaming fuck the police to the pigs' faces, protest organized with and in solidarity with the People's Circle of Palestine, the country's largest university encampment still standing. No mercy for the pigs/libs, marchers filled with palpable rage, very cool and based.

Reading through Vijay Prashad’s Washington Bullets, and his brief but informative section on NGOs really highlights why the US and EU were so apoplectic about Georgia’s law that didn’t even ban NGOs, it just required that they disclose their funding. Because the NGO space really is a third spoke along with the IMF and World Bank in imposing US hegemony on the ground in the Global South. They have to contain anything that would highlight US imperial involvement in NGOs at any cost.

The funniest thing about the SCOTUS ruling, to me, is that it was basically just the court acknowledging how the system already worked: breaking the law is literally part of the job of being US President. You can't do the job if you can't break the law.

Oh man, even the liberals from a week ago that were saying that we should just "wait for the second debate, it will go better" are dooming now.

Yet they are still convinced nobody can replace Biden. And Trump is playing it incredibly safe this time around, trying to avoid whatever controversy he can.

The tribe of the Angloids have recently celebrated their so-called polling festival that can be seen as a form of rejuvenation rite for their high pristhood. The Angloids live on barren windswept islands on the far western tip of the Eurasian landmass and celebrate the festival once or twice every decade.

During the festival the angloids go to local cult centres where they put a piece of paper or similar material into a container. The paper will be inscribed with the name of the high priest to when the practitioner directs their prayers. Although these prayers can often take very direct and concrete form it is considered taboo for commoners to ever tell the high priest in question what they have been praying for.

Leading up to the festival, high priests will lead cultic gatherings in which bad spirits with names like Woke, Foreigners, Transgender s and Jeremy Corbyn are exorcised from the congregation.

Once every practitioner has put their piece of paper into the container, the container is opened and the contents are used to divine the high priest most favored by the gods. This ritual takes place all over the Angloid homeland. Afterwards the high priests deemed most favoured by the gods travel to the cultuc centre of Westminster where arcane and complicated rituals are performed to divine who amongst them gets to be the supreme high priest of all the Angloids.

Although wielding significant temporal power in theory, anthropologists have noticed that the supreme high priests appointed in this way all keep their political actions within a narrow spectrum of decisions that benefit the caste of chieftans in Angloid society and the prevailing theory in the anthropological community is that the high priests and the chieftans have a symbiotic relationship in which they reinforce eachother's power and social status.

Current Seat distribution of the UK election (only 5 seats left to count)

Labour get a supermajority but it doesnt almost eliminate the tories like some polls predicted (my beatifull 0 seat tory poll kitty-birthday-sad )

Labour has lost four seats to pro-Gaza independent candidates and been run close by several others, as the impact of the Middle East crisis dented an otherwise jubilant night for Keir Starmer’s party.

Jonathan Ashworth, the party’s shadow Cabinet Office minister, was one of the highest profile political casualties of the rise in support for pro-Palestinian candidates in urban areas with high Muslim populations.

Ashworth lost his Leicester South seat to the independent Shockat Adam, who said: “This is for Gaza,” after winning by just under 1,000 votes.

Ukraine map is moving fast again. We've had a major Russian breakthrough in the 2014 line near New York (lol) and Toretsk. The Russians have also opened a third Kharkov front in the north and a limited incursion into Sumy border villages has also been reported. The entire microdistrict in Chasov Yar has been captured and the Avdiivka front keeps moving further and further every day with Ukrainians slowly getting pushed back to the Vovcha River. It looks like the summer objectives for Russia this year will be cutting the Pokrovsk-Konstantinvka highway, surrounding Vuhledar (my most hated town in Ukraine tbh), capturing the rest of Krasnogorovka, reducing the Siversk salient, capturing the rest of the LPR villages, and finally working on that Toretsk-New York urban area by crossing the canal near Chasov Yar. Looking forward to learning new village names and learning about Soviet industrial achievements that seem to exist in every Soviet town.
