Inspired by a highly upvoted recommendation by @Commiejones@hexbear.net:

We need to kill the Mega Posting Wars meme. It wasn't very funny to start with and now I get the feeling some people are taking it way too seriously. Clogging up the news thread with bullshit just to try to out post the trans mega is just dumb and annoying.

The News Megathread is now under trans martial law:

  1. Loving trans people on this site and elsewhere is strictly mandatory.

  2. Posting about the "comment wars" between the trans and news megathreads is now strongly discouraged inside the news megathread. No shame in it - I also recently made jokes about it - but though they were almost always just jokes, it was unrelated to current events and was beginning to feel more like padding the comment count instead of trying to improve the quality of the thread. If you want to boost comments and engagement here, then post articles and analysis!


The COTW (Chemical of the Week) label is designed to spur discussion and debate about a specific chemical every week in order to help the community gain greater understanding of the domestic situation of often-understudied chemicals. If you've wanted to talk about the chemical or share your experiences, but have never found a relevant place to do so, now is your chance!

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.

Releasing names of 900 alleged Nazi war criminals who fled to Canada could embarrass federal government, bureaucrats told

Large numbers of soldiers from a Ukrainian Waffen SS division fled to Canada after the Second World War.

A list of 900 alleged Nazi war criminals who fled to Canada could remain secret as federal officials come under increasing pressure to censor the records because they could prove embarrassing to this country.

Those consulted included members of Canada’s Ukrainian community, records show, but Library and Archives Canada, also known as LAC, did not include Holocaust survivors nor Holocaust scholars who had advocated for a full release of the list of alleged Nazi war criminals, Jewish and Holocaust academics say.

Some of the individuals and organizations consulted by LAC argued against releasing any of the information, warning it could be embarrassing or lead to prosecutions of the alleged war criminals.

“A few stakeholders were concerned that the release of the report would result in new legal action (criminal prosecution, citizen revocation, or otherwise) being brought against the individuals named in the report,” a summary of the library’s discussions noted.

Other stakeholders who advised LAC worried the list would embarrass Canada’s Ukrainian community or be used by Russians for propaganda purposes, the records show.

Large numbers of soldiers from a Ukrainian Waffen SS division fled to Canada after the war.

Jaime Kirzner-Roberts of the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies in Toronto questioned why survivors of the Nazis’ genocide campaign were not invited by LAC to give their views on whether the list of Nazis and their collaborators should be made public.

The Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies was also shut out from attending the advisory meetings and was not aware they had been conducted.

In September 2023, Immigration Minister Marc Miller acknowledged “Canada has a really dark history with Nazis in Canada.”

U.S. Charges Hamas Leaders in Oct. 7 Massacre in Israel and Other Terrorist Attacks

Federal prosecutors charged Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas, and five senior members of the group with planning and carrying out years of terrorist attacks in Israel, including the Oct. 7 massacre, according to a sweeping complaint unsealed on Tuesday.

The criminal complaint, originally filed in New York in February, implicated two other senior members of Hamas not previously thought to be directly involved in the attacks. It also listed the number of Americans believed to have died at 43.

For some reason, the U.S. has never indicted anyone for Israel's murders of Shireen Abu Akleh or Tawfiq Ajaq, or for that matter their own murders of Anwar or Abdulrahman al-Awlaki.

(Why is this in the U.S. courts, anyway? If they call it terrorism, they get to indict anyone for anything no matter what jurisdiction it happened in?)

(Edit - Every count of the indictment includes the phrase "in an offense begun and committed out of the jurisdiction of any particular State or district of the United States".)

American courts decided at some point in the past twenty years that they actually have jurisdiction across the entire planet. At least, that's the only thing that makes sense given what happened to Assange.

Latest report from ASPI, who produced that widely talked about report early last year about how China has taken the lead in 37 out of 44 critical technologies that they track, or about 84%. They have expanded their scope this year to 64 technologies, in which China leads 57 of them, with the US leading the other 7. Just 20 years ago, the numbers were essentially reversed.

ASPI notes that, in the US, "private-sector research is increasingly concentrated in US technology giants"; back 20 years ago, the technological lead was spread across several more (typically US-based) corporations, but now only the largest corporations/monopolies truly matter when talking about the private sector. Massive Chinese corporations do not play nearly as big a role in this regard. In the public sector, US institutions like NASA still matter greatly, but the Chinese Academy of Sciences is an absolute colossus, by itself leading in 31 out of 64 technologies.


China is the top player in the following categories of technologies:

  • Advanced information and communication technologies (7 technologies)
  • Advanced materials and manufacturing (13 technologies)
  • Energy and environment (8 technologies)
  • Unique AUKUS‑relevant technologies (3 technologies)

China is only mostly the top player in the following categories of technologies:

  • Artificial intelligence, computing and communications (China leads 5/6, with the US coming out ahead in Natural Language Processing, presumably due to ChatGPT)
  • Defence, space, robotics and transportation (China leads 6/7, with the US coming out ahead in small satellites, presumably due to SpaceX)
  • Quantum technologies (China leads 3/4, with the US coming out ahead in Quantum Computing)
  • Sensing, timing and navigation (China leads 8/9, with the US coming out ahead in Atomic Clocks)

The competitive field is:

  • Biotechnology, gene technologies and vaccines (4 for China, and 3 for the US; the US leads in vaccines, nuclear medicine and radiotherapy, and genetic engineering)

I count 14 technologies in which China is bigger than every other country put together.


Other findings were:

  • India is gaining in a variety of fields, but is still quite far from being the top player in any particular technology; their best shot for a top spot in the next few years is biofuel research.
  • The UK is falling fairly quickly, though they have made a couple gains in things like electronic warfare.
  • If you consider the EU collectively (as some hilariously did for the Olympics) then they are still quite competitive and even take the lead in two technologies (small satellites and gravitational force sensors). In the EU, Germany is ranked first, then Italy, then France.
  • South Korea is doing much better than Japan.
  • Iran has gained significantly over the past 20 years in defence-related technologies; now in the top 5 of eight technologies, when around 2003, it struggled to reach even 17th place in a single technology.
  • The combined power of AUKUS can just about match China in some technologies (like adversarial AI), but still trail China in others like advanced robotics.

Update on the Brazil vs. Musk situation:

Elon Musk retweeted this:

BREAKING: U.S. seizes Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro's airplane in the Dominican Republic, CNN.

And then he said:

Unless the Brazilian government returns the illegally seized property of 𝕏 and SpaceX, we will seek reciprocal seizure of government assets too. Hope Lula enjoys flying commercial.

Dude is still pissed that the Brazilian goverment seized all the stuff he had in Brazil, since he didn't pay his debt. Lol. tito-laugh

Also, he said that Starlink will not block twitter in Brazil. But that is also funny because the Brazilian goverment can easily block the signal on the ground, and only 200k people use Starlink in Brazil. lol.

And now some really GENIUS move by Elon Musk, he decided to make an "expose" of conservarive judge Alexandre de Moraes, the problem is that, besides being fake news and no one in Brazil seeing it (the target audience, and he posted in English lol), is that he fucking doxxed all the people he was "trying" to protected. He literally showed where they live, their ID and full name, besides their twitter account handles.

Lula da Silva: “The world is not obliged to put up with Elon Musk's extreme right-wing free-for-all” According to the President of the Republic, the Supreme Court's decision could serve as an example for other countries

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (Workers' Party) praised the decision by Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes to suspend the operation of X (formerly Twitter) in Brazil.

Article (Translated)

On Friday (30), alleging that the social network run by billionaire Elon Musk had not been complying with judicial decisions (such as appointing a legal representative in the country), Moraes decided to block the platform. The decision began to be enforced by the National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) on Saturday morning (31).

This Monday (2), in a trial held in the Court's virtual plenary, the First Panel of the STF unanimously supported the decision on X. In addition to Moraes himself, Justices Flávio Dino, Cristiano Zanin, Cármen Lúcia and Luiz Fux voted to maintain the suspension.

“Brazilian justice may have given an important signal that the world is not obliged to put up with Elon Musk's extreme right-wing everything just because he's rich,” said Lula, in a statement to CNN Brazil.

According to the President of the Republic, the Supreme Court's decision could serve as an example for other countries that have also suffered from the spread of fake news on social networks. Lula criticized what he called Musk's “interference and political activism” in several countries.

Lula also said that Moraes minimized the damage to the platform's users. According to the president, people are looking for other social networks that offer the same service as X.

This is not the first time that Lula has publicly criticized the owner of X. In April, when Elon Musk and Minister Alexandre de Moraes began to clash, the President of the Republic mocked the entrepreneur.

“Today, we have people who don't believe that deforestation and fires harm planet Earth. There are many people who don't take seriously what it means to maintain forests, life on the planet, and who have nowhere else to run. There are even billionaires trying to make rockets, to travel, to see if they can find a place out there,” Lula said at the time.

As well as owning X, Elon Musk is the head of SpaceX - an aerospace company founded in 2002 in the United States that designs, manufactures and launches rockets into space. The entrepreneur also runs the electric car manufacturer Tesla. “He's going to have to learn to live here, to use a lot of the money he has to help preserve it here, to improve people's lives,” added Lula, without mentioning Musk.

The following day, at another public ceremony, Lula again criticized the billionaire. “We have a very serious issue in this country and in the world: whether or not we want to live in a democratic regime. If we're going to allow the world to live with xenophobia and extremism,” he said. “This is what is happening: the rise of the extreme right, which has the luxury of allowing an American businessman who has never "produced a blade of grass" (Never worked in his entire life) in this country to dare to speak ill of the Brazilian Court, the Brazilian ministers and the Brazilian people. It's not possible,” said the president, without mentioning Musk by name. The owner of X was actually born in South Africa, but became a naturalized American citizen.

U.S. Tells Allies Iran Has Sent Ballistic Missiles to Russia - Wall Street Journal, 6 September 2024

European officials say Europe and U.S. are working on a sanctions response to Iran’s move

yes-honey-left time for your 23rd round of sanctions everyone!

The shipment involves a couple of hundred short-range ballistic missiles, according to Western officials. Iran has a variety of such weapons, with a range stretching up to around 500 miles.

As for why Iran has all these short range missiles and Russia and the US don't, it has to do with nuclear restrictions during the cold war. So research on short range ballistic missiles did not take place. Iran was obviously not part of those treaties and restrictions.

Witness the complete failure of US export controls on advanced computer chips. Not surprising, given these chips are small and easy to smuggle, but still funny to see the Financial Times admitting that US efforts to hobble China are not working in the slightest.

The cost of renting cloud services using Nvidia’s leading artificial intelligence chips is lower in China than in the US, a sign that the advanced processors are easily reaching the Chinese market despite Washington’s export restrictions.

Four small-scale Chinese cloud providers charge local tech groups roughly $6 an hour to use a server with eight Nvidia A100 processors in a base configuration, companies and customers told the Financial Times. Small cloud vendors in the US charge about $10 an hour for the same set-up.

The low prices, according to people in the AI and cloud industry, are an indication of plentiful supply of Nvidia chips in China and the circumvention of US measures designed to prevent access to cutting-edge technologies.

Has anyone done a breakdown of the US DOJ indictment of Hamas leadership? The headlines talk about how sexual violence was prevalent on Oct 7th, but last I heard the UN looked into those claims and found no evidence whatsoever. So I assume the basis of the indictment is just taking everything “Israel” has said at face value and calling it evidence; but I also don’t feel like subjecting myself to reading dozens of pages of hasbara.

Aircraft carriers are no longer safe from ballistic missiles and drones, following historical attacks by the Yemeni military on these carriers in the Red Sea, the commander of the USS Eisenhower, Christopher “Chowdah” Hill, has revealed.

Chowdah?

Regarding the intensity of Yemeni attacks while the carrier was stationed in the Red Sea to protect the Israeli entity, Hill explained that they had to reorganize crew schedules due to continuous fatigue and nighttime alerts.

Hill confirmed that the increasing pressure has affected crew morale amidst ongoing operations in the Red Sea.

https://ottawacitizen.com/news/national/defence-watch/ukrainian-group-says-it-plans-court-challenge-to-prevent-release-of-names-of-alleged-nazi-war-criminals

The Ukrainian Canadian Congress says it plans to go to court to stop the federal government from making public the names of alleged Nazi war criminals who fled to this country.

The Ukrainian Canadian Congress or UCC is now circulating a letter asking for donations to finance the proposed legal challenge in federal court.

The organization, which states that it represents the Canadian-Ukrainian community, wants to raise $150,000, according to a copy of the Aug. 28 letter obtained by the Ottawa Citizen. Article content

“It is appalling that the Canadian government could attempt for no good reason to subject innocent Canadians, their family members and descendants to public scorn,” wrote Ihor Michalchyshyn, CEO and executive director of the UCC in his fundraising plea.

A number of the alleged war criminals on the federal government list are believed to be originally from Ukraine or other eastern European nations.

US Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin stated that greenlighting deep strikes in Russia with US weapons will not be decisive, and that the US will instead focus on helping Ukraine defend its territory.

Source: U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin Discusses Weapon Use in Ukraine Conflict

Seems like Russia has a redline that the US and NATO finally won't cross. Might have to do with the fact that Russia threatened to arm Ansar Allah/The Houthis with advanced weaponry in a potential response. Export controls on advanced weaponry that have existed since the cold war are there for a reason. The US choosing to break those agreements woud have opened the doors to a new reality that they are unprepared to deal with at the moment, as there would be no reason for Russia to follow such controls if the US does not. A diplomatic win for Russia.
