US smuggled Starlinks into Iran amid riots – WSJ

Not really news to most here but here they're admitting it and saying it was about 6000 units: https://www.rt.com/news/632389-smuggled-starlink-iran-riot/

Interestingly they claim they did this AFTER the internet was cut and I was under the impression that almost immediately there were terminals operating. So is that a deception? Or did they really rush more in there to provide cover for the zionist supplied units already smuggled in which Iran was using to pinpoint spies? By handing out 6000 of them they'd give their spies and valuable assets some cover among a sea of civilians foolish enough to use these things as I doubt they had 6000 agents who needed uplinks so some of that had to be either for a later use or to provide cover.

Israelis charged with using Iran war secrets to place bets

Looks like they found who those polymarket betters who predicted the Iran strikes were: https://www.rt.com/news/632400-israel-charges-bets-iran-war/

That attitude had to piss Epstein off because his whole thing is networking powerful people to get more powerful people around to blackmail some of them to get access to more people to blackmail and Elon being all like "oh I don't care to go just to see some UN people and help you network and advance your agenda" had to push him towards the shit-list and the ghosting by Ghislaine we see in the later emails. Elon literally being entitled about the child abuse network and refusing to do the cover story stuff like all the others, just incredible energy.

German Communist Party's Bank Account Terminated

The DKP's party bank accounts have been terminated, the bank said it was due to "outside pressure". This is part of a wave of un-personings and sanctionings of individuals by the German state who are anti-imperialist including prominent pro-Palestinian activists as well as anti-Ukraine, pro-Russia-rapprochement far right parties.

In February of 2024, then-Interior Minister Nancy Faeser unveiled a 13-point plan aimed at tackling right-wing extremism. Among other points, it included provisions that would make it easier for German authorities to freeze extremists’ bank accounts, as well as to track donations to such entities.

What a shock that legislation purportedly targeting the right is used against the left. Morgenthau continues to be right.

Incredible. Just incredible stuff. Actually hugging the surviving relatives of the soldiers. But tell us again western propaganda about how he's an out of touch, gluttonous dictator autocrat who revels in subjugating and killing his own people without a second thought. Just pure projection.

We are seeing the end of the liberal illusion of freedom online. In order to stop anti-zionist speech, to control the proles, and to establish necessary blackmail capabilities against the population to be able to stop revolutionaries before they get started by threatening to release their porn preferences or whatever the boot is coming down very hard and fast.

This isn't just an EU thing or a UK thing (though they are a spectacular example of a fascist shit-hole whose boot-loving population hasn't seen an abuse against them they don't love yet even compared to subservient Amerikkkans).

Across the US laws of a similar nature are being drafted. The porn ban is just step one I'm sorry to say. They'll see people getting around it with VPNs, point out these VPNs are also used for piracy. Scream about the children and terrorists and evil foreigners and soon enough there will be VPN bans state by state and then nationally with the payment processors (Visa, Mastercard, etc) having a gun pointed at them and they and the crypto exchanges (the non-criminal ones normal people can access after submitting government ID, submitting to an AI or person-driven face scan and comparison to that, etc ,etc) will be forced to stop allowing these things. More pertinently they'll force hosting and bandwidth providers to drop them within the US and if necessary throttle all traffic that's uninspectable (though that would take years more most likely).

I predict within 5 years online privacy and public piracy both will be relics of another era. The public will obediently accept giving out ID to access their porn after some grumbling and everything after that will be smooth sailing that most people don't care about so easy-mode. Frankly the best place to stop these plans is at the porn ID phase because I'm sorry to say but it's what the largest part of the population cares about out of all these measures.

To be honest I doubt there's anything that can stop them at this point. The loss of control on the narrative about "israel" and the genocide of Palestinians has them freaked out as does the likely imminent loss in Ukraine. The level of mass mobilization and protest is simply not something you're going to get over porn and after porn ID laws come laws for other services tying them to your real identity and people have already accepted the government knowing their kinks so will roll over for that as well.

BBC bans ‘high-risk’ broadcasts after Bob Vylan - Russia Today

Apparently they weren't able to because he went into serious hiding. He didn't contact or accept contact with any of the new people who replaced the assassinated IRGC generals. There was a report a day or so ago about there being problems reaching him for negotiations because he didn't have any comms where he was and it was difficult to get to him so I believe this and this also shows the lengths the entity will go to decapitate its enemies. If he'd been a little less serious about protecting himself and remained in operational command they'd have dropped a bunker buster on his head just like Nasrallah IMO. This also I think is a serious threat in the near future if Bibi gets another indictment dropped on his head or whatever and would likely lead to the war they desperately crave which would force a US intervention. They said they'd do it without US approval too. Iran needs air defense.

Trump: Prepares for war of aggression, talks aggressively of containing China, inherits island chain forward operations encirclement from decades of American policy of encircling and hemming in China with bases and partnerships including missile deployments and forward bombers and radar. Arms separatists on Taiwan, violates the basis of diplomatic relations, is president of incredibly war-mongering empire with long history of aggression including wars against three neighbors (Vietnam, Laos, Korea) in the past 75 years. Has think tanks openly plan wars of aggression against China and talk of how long they'll have military supremacy against them in a war.

Xi: Sees this stuff happening and prepares for purely DEFENSIVE war against this incredible and long-telegraphed aggression which he and previous administrations have done everything in their power to delay including taking economic hits and keeping their heads bowed to keep trade up between the powers. Talk is very diplomatic in tone, attempts to resolve tensions diplomatically, encourages trade and interconnectedness and globalization to decrease chances of conflict, talks of win-win cooperation, has exactly one foreign military base and its a tiny one in Africa next to a much larger US one.

Bourgeois propagandists: These are exactly the same, this is all coming down to aggression from BOTH sides (but really those sneaky Chinese who are forcing us to do this).

Very interesting they're letting him actually do this. I would think the bourgeoisie would not like this kind of hit. He still has time to do "incredible deals" whereby these countries agree to buy $100 of US goods and he drops the tarrifs while tooting his horn but things do kind of look like the bourgeoisie (those near levers of power anyways) are serious about forcibly decoupling and reshoring pronto to be able to fully enact the plan of isolating, blockading, sanctioning, and trying to turn up the pressure on and destroy China or at least prevent their rise and displacement of US power.

I mean it's either fail children running the show which I still can't buy because they'd love their enemies to think them more foolish and incapable than they are and we don't have that luxury OR the whole plan for drawing back, child labor, small yard, high fence, using the sword of empire to attempt to force the world to buy more US stuff to displace competitors OR they're on some sort of dark enlightenment trip and think capitalism is over and the only way to avoid socialism is turning the barbarism machine way up and trying to create some sort of techno-feudalism or something else at home.

Why does it matter? Well if they're just incompetent then indeed the fall of the US is in order in the near future but options 2 and 3 spell very, very, very dire times for those in the imperial core as it's a very orderly managed decline that's liable to be able to potentially draw it out many more decades into the future and inflict incredible amounts of suffering on those of us stuck here in the mean-time (beyond just treats being more expensive).

Just imagining it now: "I spent over a year as a guest of Hamas and all I got was this lousy t-shirt"

No, they're going to coach at least a few of them into making up stories about horrors and atrocities and put those obviously staged and coerced "stories" on blast in the western news media. And if they can't coach any into that they'll just make it up like theremoveds and the western media will keep repeating it and using it to bash pro-Palestinians over the head.

On a related note. Bets on whether this ceasefire results in the ICC/ICJ washing their hands of the whole thing or the US managing to lean on South Africa enough to drop the case? Because I just can't see the west not pulling out all the stops to brush this whole thing under a rug and say it's in the past.

Here we go. Now did they have an ounce of sense and just pound the desert and a few unimportant places and claim otherwise in their propaganda so Iran has an out not to retaliate in kind? Or more likely did these deranged zionists hit important things and Iran has to hit back even harder and kill US troop scum manning their air defenses as well? At which point the US can either leave with its tail between its legs like Reagan did Lebanon in the 80s or escalate in some way including potentially war.

I hope the people of Iran remain safe regardless of outcome. I hope the colonizers of the zionist occupation continue to feel and be very unsafe as they should be until they stop their genocide and dismantle their apartheid regime.
