De agressie en terreur van Israël kent geen grenzen meer, niet alleen figuurlijk maar ook letterlijk, dit geldt zowel voor de Gazastrook, de West Bank, Libanon, Syrië, Iran en zelfs Irak is niet veilig voor de Israëlische terreur….

Gezien het voorgaande is het dan ook een schande dat men zo hysterisch heeft gereageerd op de pro-Palestijnse leuze ‘From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free’, zeker als je bedenkt dat Israëlische uniformen op de mouw kunnen zijn uitgerust met een kaart van ‘ Groot Israël’ waarop Israël wordt getoond met delen van Libanon, Syrië, Jordanië en Egypte*. Genocide pleger, psychopaat en ordinaire misdadiger Netanyahu heeft verklaard dat Israël een ‘bufferzone’ creëert die zich zal uitstrekken tot Damascus…..

Het volgende Facebook bericht nam ik over van Ton Geurtsen:

Kan een afbeelding zijn van de tekst 'ISRAEL KILLS TWO PALESTINIAN TEENAGERS IN THE WEST BANK MP. ते @MintPress www.MintPressNews.com @MintPressNews' MintPress News December 2, 2025, de afbeellding werd al eens gecensureerd opnieuw toegevoegd op 1 januari 2026, hier de link naar het Facebook bericht van Mint Press.

Two Palestinian teenagers were recently killed in separate incidents involving Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank. These incidents are part of a surge in violence in the territory since the genocide in Gaza began in October 2023.
The two teenagers killed in recent separate incidents were:
Muhand Tariq Muhammad al-Zughair, 17, was fatally shot by Israeli forces near the Abu Dajjan area of Hebron.
Muhammad Raslan Mahmoud Asmar, 18, from the town of Beit Rima, died from critical injuries sustained from Israeli gunfire near the village of Umm Safa, northwest of Ramallah.

Intussen heeft Israël zoals algemeen bekend mag worden geacht, naast de illegale annexatie van de Golanhoogten, een nog groter stuk van Syrië bezet en gaat ook daar tekeer als op de West Bank, ofwel Israël is bezig met het etnisch zuiveren middels terreur op het illegaal door haar bezet gebied….

Ook deze illegale bezetting en etnische zuivering door Israël wordt niet veroordeeld door de westerse wereld en de eenzijdige berichtgeving door de reguliere westerse massamedia, zoals dat al meer dan 2 jaar het geval is met de genocide die deze genocidaal psychopathische terreurstaat uitoefent op de Palestijnen in de Gazastrook. Hier moet ik even gas terugnemen, immers sinds een paar maanden zijn er landen die Israël wel degelijk verantwoordelijk houden voor ‘het geweld’ tegen de Palestijnen, als mijdt men het woord ‘genocide’ als de pest….

Intussen hebben veel politici en vooraanstaande figuren in Israël er geen probleem mee om toe te geven dat men zelfs baby’s met opzet vermoord, waarbij men dit verdedigt met te zeggen dat dit de terroristen van de toekomst zijn, de psychopathische moordenaars van het Israëlische leger (IDF) gaan zelfs zover dat ze vrouwen en meisjes dusdanig verwonden (als men ze al niet ‘gewoon doodschiet’) zodat ze geen kinderen meer kunnen krijgen…. Het is trouwens toch al zo dat men met opzet kinderen doodschiet of zodanig verwondt dat ze overlijden (er is een groot tekort aan medische middelen, medicijnen, artsen, verpleegkundigen en ziekenhuisbedden, zodat enorm veel Palestijnen en hun kinderen zelfs overlijden aan verwondingen die normaal makkelijk zijn te behandelen….) Bedenk hierbij dat een paar Israëlische militairen hebben verklaard dat hun scherpschutters per dag wisselen welk deel van kinderen als doel wordt genomen, ofwel de ene dag het hoofd, de volgende de borst, dan weer de buikstreek en zelfs het kruis wordt als doel genomen….. Ik kan die enorme inhumane schoften niet anders zien dan als nazi’s…… Hieronder een foto die aangeeft hoe beestachtig Israëlische militairen zijn en bedenk hierbij dat de dieren, die wij ook aanduiden als beesten, zoiets nooit zouden doen! Een aantal Israëlische politici zegt trots te zijn om als fascisten te worden gezien, of uiten zich als de eerste ‘beste’ fascist……

Dat men in Israël Palestijnse gijzelaars en gevangenen martelt is al evenmin voor velen iets nieuws, zelfs niet dat gevangenen worden verkracht, zowel meisjes, jongens, vrouwen en mannen. Nog walgelijker was om afgelopen donderdag op de site van Caitlin Johnstone te lezen dat men zelfs honden heeft getraind om gevangenen te verkrachten…..** Wat zijn dat voor walgelijke monsters?? Ook hier past geen andere typering dan >> smerige nazi-methoden… (al vraag ik me af of die monsters voorafgaand en tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog ook zover gingen….)

Afbeeldingsresultaat voor hajo meijer


Zoals gewoonlijk spelen de media, zoals hier al zo vaak aangegeven, weer een grote rol met valse manipulatie van berichten, dan wel totale verzwijging van feiten. In Groot-Brittannië zijn een groot aantal mensen gevangengezet om dat ze deelnamen aan vreedzame demonstraties, opgesloten met de beschuldiging dat ze zich schuldig maakten aan terrorisme, daar ze tijdens deze (nogmaals: vreedzame) demonstraties aangaven achter ‘Palestine Action’ te staan. 6 van hen zijn in hongerstaking gegaan en waar in de 80er jaren ook de reguliere media wel belangstelling hadden voor de hongerstakers van de IRA, zijn deze media nu doodstil over deze hongerstaking. Deze media zijn dan ook in handen van spuugrijke schoften, die er alle belang bij hebben dat de huidige westerse status quo overeind blijft door de westerse bevolkingen te hersenspoelen met onder andere fake news en desinformatie….*** (voorbeelden te over, neem alleen al de berichtgeving over de illegale oorlogen die de VS deze eeuw met hulp va andere NAVO-lidstaten is begonnen!!)

Israël is nog steeds bezig met de genocide op de Palestijnen en nog steeds steunen westerse regeringen deze fascistisch genocidale staat politiek en militair (en met wapenleveringen, Groot-Brittannië voert zelfs spionage vluchten uit boven de Gazastrook, waarvan de verzamelde gegevens worden doorgegeven aan het moorddadige Israëlische leger….

Rusland werd kort na de inval in Oekraïne uitgesloten van het Eurovisie Songfestival. Israël is nu al ruim 2 jaar bezig met het uitmoorden, verkrachten en martelen van Palestijnen, maar mag ook dit jaar weer gewoon meedoen…. Terwijl het Israëlische geweld 1.000 keer verder gaat dan dat van Rusland…. Ik hoorde afgelopen vrijdagmorgen op Deutschlandfunk dat men trots is dat Duitsland zich heeft uitgesproken tegen uitsluiting van Israël (van het songfestival), terwijl er bijna geen uur voorbijgaat zonder dat men op die radiozender anti-Russische propaganda brengt…… (en dat zo eenzijdig als alle reguliere westerse media dat deden en doen, alleen dat al zou ieder weldenkend mens super achterdochtig moeten maken!!)

Diezelfde afgelopen vrijdag berichtte men ‘s avonds op de Britse staatsradiozender BBC World Service na 23.00 u. (CET) al evenzeer over het Eurovisie Songfestival. Nog net werd genoemd dat een paar landen zich hadden teruggetrokken uit dit festival, al was dit volgens de presentator teruggebracht tot 1 land, vanwege ‘het conflict’ in de Gazastrook, zonder te stellen dat het hier om een overduidelijke genocide gaat. Men had een zionistische Israëlische journalist, die meteen ven leer trok en net deed alsof er op 7 oktober 2023 voor het eerst strijd was ontstaan tussen de Palestijnen en Israël met de uitbraak van Hamas uit de openluchtgevangenis die de Gazastrook was en is. (in werkelijkheid was hier al sprake van ver voordat Israël zich in 1948 illegaal als soeverein land neerzette). Deze namaak journalist hield zich aan het steeds groter wordende grote leugenboek dat Israël al sinds deze oprichting in 1948 hanteert en stelde dat Hamas op die bewuste 7 oktober 1.200 mensen had vermoord, terwijl het psychopathisch moordende Israëlische leger (IDF) zeker de helft van die 1.200 mensen heeft vermoord, dit in het kader van de Hannibal Richtlijn****, zoals onder andere is toegegeven door een ex-officier van het IDF.

Intussen heeft de psychopathische ploert, genocidepleger en pedo Trump de Franse rechter bij het Internationaal Gerechtshof (International Criminal Court >> ICC) Nicolas Guillou op de sanctielijst geplaatst vanwege zijn vervolging van genocidepleger Netanyahu en een paar van zijn oorlogsmisdadige kabinet…. Deze rechter heeft geen toegang meer tot zijn bankrekening en kan niet meer reizen, mede met dank aan de slaafse VS-vazallen in de EU, Groot-Brittannië en Canada…..***** Een schande van bijna ongekende proporties!!

Guillou kan zelfs in zijn eigen land Frankrijk geen gebruik meer maken van zijn bankrekening, daar alle stortingen en betalingen, die nodig zijn voor zijn rekening, zijn geblokkeerd, dus een ban op het gebruik van >> Visa, Mastercard, American Express en het zogenaamde Europese SWIFT banken betaal systeem…. Waardoor zelfs zijn leven onmogelijk wordt gemaakt, bovendien zijn de toegangen tot zijn accounts op WhatsApp, alle Google apps, Facebook en Instagram geblokkeerd voor gebruik…. Een reservering voor een hotelkamer werd 2 uur na boeking geannuleerd door Expedia….. Je zou denken dat dit alles tot grote protesten van de EU regeringen zou hebben geleid, maar nee, zelfs zijn eigen regering doet niets om hem te beschermen tegen deze meer dan schunnige gang van zaken, integendeel men werkt er zelfs aan mee…… Hiermee hebben de westerse EU-staten zich in feite monddood gemaakt en staan ze op de rangorde zelfs onder de staten in de VS….

Dan nog het volgende: naast de reguliere westerse media fungeert ook Google als spreekbuis van het fascistisch genocidale Netanyahu bewind:

Google: Stop fueling Netanyahu’s lies

In het WDR5 nieuws van 16.00 u. vanmiddag het bericht over het bezoek van de Duitse bondskanselier met fascistische neigingen Merz aan Israël, waar hij nogmaals de onvoorwaardelijke steun van Duitsland toezegde, wel met de toevoeging dat Duitsland enigszins verontrust is over de situatie in de Gazastrook. Daarna liet de Palestijnenslachter Netanyahu weten dat Israël zal doorgaan in de Gazastrook tot Hamas is vernietigd, ofwel tot alle Palestijnen zijn uitgemoord…. Uiteraard gaf Merz daar geen verweer op……

Het volgende artikel werd geschreven door Hodo Matar en werd gepubliceerd op Drop Site. In dit artikel aandacht voor de illegale uitbreiding van Israëlisch gebied. Daaronder een artikel over Keir Starmer die afgelopen zomer volkomen lak had aan ‘zijn politie’, waarvan de top wilde voorkomen dat Maccabi supporters afreisden naar hun land, nadat ze hadden gezien wat deze ronduit terroristen hadden aangericht in Amsterdam…. Amsterdam waar de burgemeester, hare GroenLinks kwaadaardigheid Halsema, de politie niet liet optreden tegen deze terroristen, maar op tilt sloeg toen Marokkaanse jongeren hun landgenoten begonnen te verdedigen (het Maccabi geteisem schreeuwde zelfs herhaaldelijk dat alle arabieren moeten worden vermoord, ze vielen mensen aan waarvan ze dachten dat het arabieren waren en vernielden eigendommen), uiteindelijk konden de Maccabi terroristen zonder enig probleem vertrekken en werden Marokkanen veroordeeld tot gevangenisstraffen, mensen die waren opgekomen voor hun landgenoten: Berbers en arabieren (en uiteraard ook voor Berbers en arabieren uit andere landen….)…. Nog steeds ongelofelijk!!!

“A Second West Bank”: Israeli Military Raids Escalate in Occupied Syrian Border Villages

Israeli forces are entrenching even further in Syria as Benjamin Netanyahu says he wants a demilitarized “buffer zone” stretching to Damascus.

QUNEITRA, SYRIA—In what has become a regular occurrence in southwest Syria, Israeli tanks and troops stormed the Quneitra countryside on Monday, taking up positions in the village of Saida Al-Hanout. As drones flew overhead, Israeli military units set up a temporary checkpoint and searched civilians before eventually withdrawing.

Over the past year, Israeli forces have established nine military posts in southern Syria; constructed military installations less than one kilometer from villages; demolished at least 12 buildings in al-Hamidiya; razed over 45 hectares of the Jubata al-Khashab forest; and seized thousands of dunams of agricultural land, cutting off access to farmers’ livelihoods. Local officials told Drop Site News that, in total, Israel has illegally seized between 600 and 800 square kilometers of southern Syrian territory through more than 200 incursions.

Israeli military operations in the area have escalated in recent weeks, with Israeli troops displacing residents, destroying farmland, snatching people off the streets and taking them across the border to Israeli detention centers.

In the deadliest attack over the past year, thirteen Syrians were killed, including two children, and dozens more wounded in an Israeli military raid on the southern village of Beit Jinn on Friday. Residents confronted Israeli forces who entered the village after shelling the area, leading to “violent clashes,” according to Syrian state news agency SANA.

The border area in southern Syria was previously a UN-patrolled, demilitarized buffer zone established in a 1974 disengagement agreement that officially ended hostilities between Israel and Syria. Israel seized most of the Golan Heights from Syria in the 1967 war, eventually building illegal settlements and unilaterally annexing the area in 1981—a move unrecognized by the international community. Since Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s ouster last December, Israel has occupied more Syrian territory—including the whole of Jabal al-Sheikh, a mountain that overlooks northern Israel and southern Syria—and has been further entrenching itself in recent weeks, advancing to the outskirts of Damascus in what critics say is nothing more than a land grab.

On Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he wants a new “buffer zone” on Syrian land stretching to the capital. “What we expect Syria to do is, of course, to establish a demilitarised buffer zone from Damascus to the buffer area, including the approaches to Mount Hermon and the Hermon peak,” Netanyahu said, using the Israeli name for Jabal al-Sheikh.

Last month, Israeli soldiers installed a permanent yellow gate without warning at the entrance to al-Samadaniyah al-Gharbiyah, a small farming village. The gate is located four kilometers (2.4 miles) (2.4 miles) from the center of Quneitra governorate, cutting the village off from neighboring towns and obstructing the main road that that residents rely on to reach markets, schools, and hospitals. It marked the fifth permanent gate erected by the Israeli military across Quneitra since Assad’s fall last year. Israeli soldiers now regularly stop and harass residents, turning daily life into an ordeal.

“They are trying to impose a new reality, so that they can exploit later,” Hayel al-Abdullah, the village head of al-Samadaniyah al-Gharbiyah, told Drop Site.

Netanyahu visited Israeli military positions in Syria last week in a publicized trip that prompted widespread condemnation. Accompanied by top defense and security officials, Netanyahu reviewed deployments, received operational briefings, and argued that Israel’s continued presence in the cross-border buffer zone was essential for national security. The Syrian government condemned the move as a “serious violation” of its sovereignty and called for a full Israeli withdrawal and return to the 1974 agreement though it has taken no other action.

Life Under Occupation

Israel’s military expansion in southern Syria has been accompanied by systematic intimidation, with troops raiding homes in the middle of the night, setting up flying checkpoints without warning, and isolating villages behind military barricades and gates. Dozens of families have fled the area, according to residents and local officials, and over 40 Syrians have been detained.

A number of residents told Drop Site News that they are routinely stopped at both temporary and permanent checkpoints, where soldiers search them, inspect their belongings, and scroll through the contents of their mobile phones.

Majd Azzam, a man in his 20s from the village of Al-Asbah, was hospitalized after Israeli soldiers beat him at a checkpoint in Kudnah in October. His offense was a photograph on his mobile phone with him wearing a keffiyeh, the traditional checkered scarf worn across the region, which the soldiers viewed as “terrorist attire,” Azzam’s father told Drop Site. “Any photo they consider suspicious, they arrest the phone’s owner, or at minimum they beat him,” he said.

The number of home raids has escalated sharply in recent weeks, according to two local residents, Khalil Layla and Abu Kinan Bakr, who said Israeli soldiers frequently order all family members outside before conducting exhaustive searches “turning the home upside down.”

Abd al-Aziz al-Mousa, a driver who navigates the shifting network of barriers daily, said the pressure and harassment on residents is constant. “The patrols and flying checkpoints can appear at any time, anywhere,” he told Drop Site.

Closed roads and rerouted paths have made it difficult for residents to reach jobs, schools, and farmland. In mid-November, the Israeli military installed a temporary checkpoint at al-Samadaniyah al-Sharqiya for five hours, preventing residents from reaching their schools, workplaces, and local markets.

Khaled al-Khalil, a Syrian journalist and an expert on Israeli-Syrian affairs, said Quneitra has become “a second West Bank,” with Israel behaving as a brutal occupying power. “They resort to military aggression to secure their borders, using arrests, incursions and harassment of residents,” Al-Khalil said.

As is the case in the West Bank, the Israeli occupation has also disrupted the olive harvest in Quneitra, a cornerstone of the local economy and cultural identity. The Quneitra governorate is home to 400,000 olive trees, 350,000 of them productive, according to Jamal Ali, the provincial agriculture director. Roughly one-third now lie under Israeli control, with farmers barred from accessing thousands of hectares of agricultural land.

Ahmed Khair Allah—a farmer from the village of al-Esha, located 35 kilometers (21.7 miles) away from Quneitra—said residents are still waiting for permission from Israeli forces to harvest olives on the slopes of Tal al-Ahmar Gharbi, which Israeli forces have occupied and turned into a military base.

With the Syrian state largely absent in Quneitra, residents have used the UN Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF), which monitors the buffer zone under a 1973 Security Council resolution, as an intermediary with the Israeli military. “We knock on the UN gate and inform them of our request, then wait for a response from the occupation forces,” Khair Allah said.

Mohammed Layla, a resident of Tarinjah, said UN forces retreat when they encounter Israeli forces on the road, and that Israeli tanks have positioned themselves near UN forces who take no action. UNDOF has issued no public statement on the recent incursions.

Jamil Abu Omar, the village head of al-Asbah in the southwestern border strip, said some of his village’s olive groves stretch along the slopes of Tal al-Ahmar Sharqi and Tal al-Ahmar Gharbi, where an Israeli flag now flies. He said twenty families have left the village for Damascus and the surrounding areas in recent weeks, driven out by the military pressure.(als je de Engelse taal niet beheerst, zet dan de tekst om in Nederlands met behulp van Google translate dat je rechts bovenaan deze pagina ziet staan, klik eerst in het menu op ‘Engels’, waarna je weer kan klikken op die vertaalapp, daarna zie je bovenaan in het menu ‘Nederlands’ staan >> klik daarop en de hele tekst staat vervolgens in het Nederlands, de vertaling is van een redelijk goede kwaliteit.)

Village heads estimate that a total of 60 families have been displaced from al-Asbah, al-Esha, al-Hamidiyah, and Bir Ajam since last December.

At least 46 Syrians have been detained and imprisoned in Israel over the past year according to Sajjel, a platform that tracks Israeli violations in southern Syria. Family members have no information about their whereabouts or conditions of detention and say they have contacted the UN and the Red Cross to no avail.

A young man who spoke to Drop Site on condition of anonymity said he was detained on November 10th along with his father, uncle, and cousin after they went to go check on the family farm. Neighbors had warned them that Israeli troops had raided the property overnight. When they arrived, they found the farm ransacked. After leaving, they were stopped by an Israeli patrol around 500 meters down the road.

“They handcuffed us and blindfolded us,” the man said. Within minutes, they arrived at what he believed was either al-Horriya base or al-Hamidiya base. He was held for a full day and night without interrogation before being released the following day near his home. His father, uncle, and cousin remain in custody. The family contacted the village heads of al-Hamidiya and al-Samadaniyah to try and get more information. When the mukhtar of al-Samadaniyah asked a passing Israeli patrol about the detainees, the soldiers reportedly only said “They are under investigation.” The UNDOF told the family it had no information.

Safa al-Safadi, from Beit Jinn, said seven people from her village were detained in June during a large raid on the area. She described long hours contacting state ministries trying to find out their fate, without receiving any answer.

Khalil Layla’s village of Tarinjah was raided one night in November. His brother Muhammad was taken along with others from Jabata al-Khashab. “We contacted the UN post, which in turn contacted the occupation forces, who acknowledged their presence but provided no additional information,” he told Drop Site.

As with thousands of Palestinians in Israeli custody, Syrian detainees have been swallowed up in Israel’s prison system with no due process. Palestinian lawyer Khaled al-Mahajnah, who is a member of the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs in Palestine, confirmed that Syrian detainees are being held in Ofer Prison in the occupied West Bank. Separately, lawyer Ahmad al-Mousa, who resides in Germany, has documented the names of 46 prisoners and corresponded with more than a dozen international bodies about the detentions with no recourse.

Across the southern Syrian countryside, occupying Israeli forces have now become a dangerous reality of everyday life. Last month, Um Mohammed Layla was picking olives in her grove close to the village of Tarinjah, as her young children played nearby when a drone appeared overhead. Moments later, Israeli soldiers arrived in the area. “The drones hover above the trees while children play, then soldiers from the occupation suddenly appear among the fields and on village roads, spreading terror and fear,” she said.

Maccabi Tel Aviv row breaks Starmer’s cover story for colluding in genocide

The legal and ethical earthquake from Israel’s carnage in Gaza was never going to be contained there. As the Aston Villa row shows, the shockwaves for Britain will keep growing louder

Jonathan Cook

October 28, 2025

[First published by Middle East Eye]

No one should be surprised that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer confected yet another duplicitous antisemitism furore last week – one in which he implicitly cast West Midlands Police as colluding in Jew hatred and insisted that British Muslims be exposed to racist violence from visiting foreign football hooligans.

Starmer had demanded that a decision by the police to bar fans of an Israeli club, Maccabi Tel Aviv, from attending a Europa League match in Birmingham next month be overturned.

He indicated that the West Midlands force had approved the ban on the grounds that hatred towards Jews in Britain had reached such fever pitch that police could no longer guarantee the Israeli fans’ safety from antisemitic violence.

His reasoning defamed both the British public and the police. The media lost no time in amplifying his narrative.

But Starmer’s claims were pure disinformation – as he surely knew from the police intelligence reports that must have been submitted to him before he called for the ban to be reversed.

Sadly for Starmer, those assessments were leaked to the media. They show that West Midlands Police made the decision after receiving reports from Dutch police that Maccabi fans had instigated racist violence in Amsterdam last year – before, during and after a match with local team Ajax.

As one source with inside knowledge of the police assessments told the Guardian: “The biggest risk was always the extreme Maccabi fans who want to fight.” It had taken 5,000 Dutch police officers three days to bring the violence to an end.

The likely cost of policing next month’s Aston Villa game was estimated at at least £6m ($8m), and would have required the deployment of large numbers of specialist riot squads from across the UK.

Not unreasonably, the police concluded that giving licence to Israeli football hooligans seeking to make good on chants of “Death to Arabs” in an ethnically diverse city like Birmingham was a bad idea.

According to the assessment, even members of the Jewish community opposed letting Maccabi fans attend.

Many of the Israeli club’s hardcore supporters – those that attend away fixtures – are likely to be current or reserve soldiers who have participated in the Gaza genocide. They deserve arrest, not the UK rolling out the red carpet.

Race relations fires

But strangely, Starmer did not see it this way. In his eyes, it seems, foreign thugs and war criminals should enjoy greater privileges in Britain than local ethnic minorities. Maccabi hooligans’ right to bring their genocidal incitement and violence to the UK trumps the right of minorities to be protected.

What political advantage his advisers thought he would gain is hard to grasp. Starmer simply added yet more fuel to Britain’s race relations fires – by smearing, once again, Muslims as antisemitic and “un-British”. The only beneficiary will be Nigel Farage’s Reform party.

So what on earth is going on?

In normal circumstances, this kind of behaviour from a government whose polling figures are in freefall – and whose traditional urban heartlands are deserting it – would look like demented self-sabotage. But these are not normal times.

Starmer knows that US President Donald Trump’s “peace plan” has done nothing more than slow Israel’s genocide, and that the so-called “ceasefire”, which Israel is violating on a daily basis, will crumble sooner or later – more likely sooner.

The bad news from Gaza is not going away. But this time Israel will no longer be able to claim as a pretext that the carnage is necessary to “bring home” captives held by Hamas.

Israel’s criminality will be even more starkly on show – and so will Britain’s extensive collusion.

Starmer’s solution has been to furiously pump up fears of “antisemitism”, even if doing so – as with his implicit criticism of the West Midlands Police – makes him and his ministers look ridiculous, incompetent and bad-faith actors.

But there is a logic here – of sorts. The prime minister’s two-fold strategy on Gaza has been evident for a while.

On the one hand, Starmer has done the bare minimum to oppose Israel’s atrocities, and in the most mealy-mouthed way he can, so he can at least claim, however disingenuously, to be respecting international law.

That is what primarily drove his very belated and grudging recognition of Palestinian statehood, though he appended a raft of near-impossible conditions to hollow out the move.

And it is the rationale for his claimed – but entirely bogus – curbing of UK arms sales to Israel. In fact, Britain has been making record weapons sales to Israel since he became prime minister.

On the other, Starmer has sought to deflect attention from his core policy of inertia on Gaza – designed to keep him onside with Washington – by denouncing any meaningful criticism of Israel as posing a threat to British Jews.

Fortress state

To achieve this end, it has been necessary to wildly misrepresent the true source of the antisemitism threat in Britain.

Starmer needs to pin the blame for Jew hatred on those who oppose both Israel’s genocidal actions in Gaza and his own complicity in supporting Israel with arms, surveillance intelligence, and rhetorical and diplomatic cover.

That means his main target is the anti-racist left – a left he has been industriously purging from his own Labour Party since he became leader – and Muslim communities that identify most closely with Gaza’s suffering.

Meanwhile, he must distract attention from the real antisemites – those on the far-right, ranging from sections of the Conservative and Reform parties to an army of white nationalist goons led by Tommy Robinson, a notorious Islamophobe with multiple criminal convictions.

The ultra-right may hate Muslims and Jews equally, but they love the muscular, militarised fortress “Jewish state” of Israel, which prioritises the kind of ethnic purity and anti-Muslim bigotry they would love to see replicated in Britain.

In these circumstances, Starmer’s switch-and-bait has not been easy. Nonetheless, with the media’s backing, he has relentlessly smeared as “antisemites” anti-racists and British Jews – the “wrong sort” – who recoil from a genocide Israel claims it is doing in the name of all Jews.

Meanwhile, he has endorsed the conflation of a genocidal Israel, including its most violent football hooligans, with supposedly “right-thinking” British Jews – that is, those who identify with Israel so strongly they are blind to its crimes.

‘Clash of civilisations’

Starmer now serves as a prominent champion of the hard right’s much-loved “clash of civilisations” thesis, in which a Judeo-Christian West is assumed to be in a life-or-death, defensive war against a supposedly savage, bloodthirsty Islamic East.

In this narrative, Israel is the rampart against “barbarian Muslim hordes” seeking to storm the citadel of western civilisation.

Naturally, the right brushes aside any other explanation. Such as that Israel’s decades-long meddling in the region and relentless onslaughts on local populations – under the banner of Jewish supremacy, and brazenly as a western client state – may have incited the very response western publics are now encouraged to fear.

Starmer is no less dismissive of the self-sabotaging nature of the West’s foreign policy and its unstinting support for Israel, even in the midst of the Gaza genocide.

He cannot countenance the idea that the western-backed slaughter breathes life into assertions – once confined to more extreme groups – that there can be no accommodation with the West. That the West acts in bad faith. That it treats the lives of non-westerners as entirely worthless.

Starmer’s commitment to the “clash of civilisations” worldview was less obvious when he was continuing the previous government’s manufactured fight with “pampered, out-of-touch students” in encampments or “Hamas-sympathising lefties” on anti-genocide marches.

But he has chosen to go further.

He has proscribed as “terrorists” – apparently an upgrade from “antisemites” – the activists of Palestine Action. Their unforgivable sin was to move from street protests to direct action. They sought to put a spoke in the wheels of the British government’s complicity with the genocide, targeting factories in the UK supplying weapons to Israel.

According to Britain’s draconian terrorism laws, it is also a terrorism offence to show any support for a proscribed organisation.

Starmer appears not to have foreseen that, as a result, the police would be forced to arrest thousands of upstanding citizens – including doctors, lawyers, barristers, retired military officers, and even a former adviser to King Charles.

They have refused to bend to his decree that no debate about the legality, let alone the morality, of Britain arming Israel’s genocide can be tolerated.

Face-off with police

But now things have turned even darker. Starmer’s current duplicity has led him into siding with violent Israeli football hooligans against his own police force and Muslim communities.

The fallout from his four-square support for Israel’s genocide is that Starmer has had to import more deeply into British domestic politics the inherently divisive “clash of civilisations” ideology.

In the process, he has risked revealing how much of a charade his antisemitism narrative has been from the start.

The government’s actions were never really about protecting the Jewish community. Rather, it has been cynically using British Jews as a collective human shield, allowing Starmer to denounce any meaningful criticism of Israel as posing a threat to the Jewish community.

Starmer’s need for a cover story has been especially urgent because he was himself once a distinguished human rights lawyer, one who even served as the lead advocate in a case before the International Court of Justice in 2014 arguing that Serbia had committed genocide in the Croatian city of Vukovar.



How is he to explain his behaviour partnering with Israel and Washington over Gaza’s destruction, when it has required him to shred Britain’s obligations under international law?

He cannot claim ignorance, should there come a day when he is brought before the judges of the International Criminal Court (ICC).

So the story Starmer has been crafting instead is that he is the saviour of Britain’s Jewish community, that he has been charting a difficult course in the face of a supposedly rampant antisemitism from the left, from Muslims, from anti-genocide marchers, from student encampments, from human rights groups, from Holocaust scholars, from the United Nations, from the ICC, and now from the British police.

The over-arching narrative is that Starmer has been one of the key bulwarks against the return of Jew hatred to Europe.

The price required to protect British Jews, so this story goes, has been his role as a “critical friend” to Israel, working behind the scenes to curb its worst excesses, while damping down criticism of Israel that risks inflaming antisemitism.

The main problem for Starmer is that he is being forced to confront more and more groups and institutions to sustain this narrative – to the point where he put himself effectively in a face-off with the British police.

‘Lab rats’

Opponents of the genocide warned from the outset that what started in Gaza could not be contained there. The slaughter would inevitably provoke polarising dissent in the West, require the crushing of basic rights to silence critics of western complicity, and gradually normalise authoritarianism.

Starmer’s behaviour has proved just how correct those prognoses were.

The British prime minister’s woes are not about to end, as recent developments demonstrate. Rather, the danger continues to grow of him being charged one day as an accessory to genocide.

Francesca Albanese, the UN’s international law expert for the occupied Palestinian territories, helps make that case in a report published last week. Entitled “Gaza Genocide: A Collective Crime”, she highlights the collusion of western states in Israel’s litany of atrocities.

She notes how keen western leaders have been to portray Israel’s onslaught “as a battle of civilisation against barbarism”. In doing so, “they have reproduced the Israeli distortions of international law and colonial tropes, seeking to justify their own complicity in genocide”.

She identifies four sectors where western support has been indispensable in allowing Israel to continue its crimes: diplomatic, military and economic backing, as well as the ideological framing of Israel’s bombing and starvation of Gaza’s people as self-defence, producing a “humanitarian” problem that needs addressing rather than serving as proof of Israel’s genocidal intent.

In this last regard, she specifically names Starmer. In three separate interviews as opposition leader, he claimed that Israel had a “right” to carry through threats to cut off water and power to Gaza’s population.



As she points out, Israel cannot invoke a right to “self-defence” in Gaza under Article 51 of the UN Charter, when it has been holding the enclave’s people under a belligerent, decades-old occupation.

Starmer knows this.

Instead she argues that western leaders like Starmer have echoed the assumptions of a racist, colonial discourse in which non-westerners are viewed as “savages” who are undeserving of the protections of international law.

That discourse serves to conceal the huge profits western corporations have been reaping by colluding in Israel’s long occupation, as she documented in a previous report.

Western businesses and governments have looked to Israel to use Palestinians as lab rats for testing new surveillance technologies, systems of control and displacement, and killing machines.

These forms of oppression are already being turned against domestic populations in the West.

She points out that Starmer’s government has made the most cursory of nods to international law, such as imposing entry restrictions on two fascist ministers in Netanyahu’s government, while treating other genocide-cheering figures, such as President Isaac Herzog and senior Israeli military officials, as honoured guests.

The UK has been evasive about whether it would enforce the ICC’s arrest warrant against Netanyahu for crimes against humanity – for the starvation of Gaza that Starmer endorsed. And the UK has done nothing to prosecute British citizens who have chosen to serve on Israel’s side in the Gaza genocide, or even dissuade them from participating.

Perhaps most egregiously, a British airbase on Cyprus has served as a crucial supply line for arms to Israel and for hundreds of UK surveillance flights over Gaza.



Albanese observes: “Flight numbers and durations, often coinciding with major Israeli operations, suggest detailed knowledge and cooperation in the destruction of Gaza, extending beyond ‘hostage rescue’.”

‘Political stunt’

The International Court of Justice (ICJ), often known as the World Court, threw its own substantial weight last week behind a verdict that also implicates western leaders such as Starmer.

It was the court’s third ruling since Israel launched its campaign of slaughter in Gaza two years ago.

The first had found it “plausible” Israel was committing genocide. ICJ judges are currently investigating that charge.

The second ruling, last summer, concluded that Israel’s decades-long occupation and Jewish settlement of the Palestinian territories were illegal; that Israel must immediately withdraw from those territories, including Gaza; and that other states were obligated to put whatever pressure they could on Israel to comply.

Israel has gone in exactly the opposite direction, with its parliament last week voting to formally annex the occupied West Bank.

US Vice-President JD Vance, who was in Israel at the time babysitting Netanyahu to stop him sabotaging the ceasefire, called the parliamentary vote a “political stunt” and an “insult”.

But the White House’s concern appears to relate chiefly to the timing, which might threaten the ceasefire, rather than the substance.

His replacement, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who arrived in Israel on Thursday, stated of the annexation vote: “At this time, it’s something that we … think might be counterproductive.” Note the conditional “At this time”.

The new, third ruling builds on the second – and hints at the likely outcome of the ICJ’s investigation of Israel for genocide. It finds Israel’s starvation policy in Gaza – the collective punishment of its population – in flagrant violation of international law.

The World Court justices declare: “The occupying Power may never invoke reasons of security to justify the general suspension of all humanitarian activities in an occupied territory.”

That should serve as a stinging rebuke to Starmer, who, as previously noted, declared that Israel had the right to carry out its declared policy of starving the people of Gaza.

The ICJ also rules that Israel must immediately allow in full supplies of food and aid, and cooperate with Unrwa, the UN aid agency that served as the main lifeline for the people of Gaza until Israel banned its operations last year based on a claim it had been infiltrated by Hamas.

The judges found that Israel had never produced any evidence to support such an allegation.

Health ‘catastrophe’

Israel replaced UN food distribution sites in Gaza with four, hard-to-reach “aid hubs” run by a US and Israeli military front group, the wildly misnamed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). It brought in a trickle of aid while Israeli soldiers regularly sprayed gunfire on desperate Palestinians queueing for food, killing and wounding many thousands.

Trump’s 20-point “peace plan” expressly required of Israel that it allow aid distribution “through the United Nations and its agencies”. And yet last Friday Rubio changed his administration’s own rules, as well as defying the World Court, by stating that Unrwa could play “no role” in aid distribution because it was supposedly “a subsidiary of Hamas”.

Tied to Washington’s apron strings, Starmer, like other western leaders, has made vague noises against Israel’s genocidal starvation campaign in Gaza, notably after images of emaciated children came to dominate social media six months ago.

But beyond the optics, he has done nothing substantive to reverse his original support for Israel’s collective punishment of Gaza, its blocking of food, aid and power.

Albanese notes in her new report that, as the Israeli-engineered famine gripped Gaza in the spring, the UK was among a handful of countries that launched operations to parachute aid into the enclave – an operation she describes as “expensive, inadequate and dangerous”.

But even worse, she concludes, the aid drops “only served to mislead international public opinion while the famine worsened”.

When British citizens recently joined an aid flotilla to Gaza, in an attempt to highlight Israel’s illegal naval blockade of the enclave, Starmer pointedly refused to offer them protection, even when they were abducted on the high seas and held in highly abusive conditions in Israel.

Despite Starmer behaving as if Trump’s so-called “peace plan” has ended the “humanitarian crisis” in Gaza, the UN World Food Programme stated last week that aid deliveries continued to remain well below its daily target of 2,000 tonnces.

The World Health Organisation, meanwhile, has warned that the “health catastrophe” Israel has engineered in Gaza will last for “generations to come”.

Trump’s ‘masterplan’

Last week the US news show 60 Minutes interviewed Trump’s two pointmen on Gaza: his son-in-law Jared Kushner, and his special envoy Steve Witkoff.

Kushner was keen to highlight how much destruction Israel had unleashed there, explaining that it looked like a nuclear bomb had been dropped.

This appeared to be his clumsy way of underscoring what an achievement Trump had secured in bringing to a halt the orgy of violence – a campaign of destruction, of course, that was made possible only because the US endlessly supplied Israel with armaments.

But with rising panic etched on his face, Kushner could only look on as Witkoff revealed that the pair had been working on a “masterplan” for Gaza’s reconstruction for two years – long before Gaza was levelled by the Israeli military. “Jared has been pushing this,” Witkoff explained.

Analysts have preferred to characterise Trump’s earlier, stated ambition to “clear out” the people of Gaza and build a playground for the rich – a Gaza Riviera – as some kind of hair-brained, improvised response to the scale of the enclave’s devastation.

But Witkoff indicated something even more sinister. That the Trump team had been informed from the outset of Israel’s bombing campaign that the intention was to eradicate Gaza, not Hamas. And so the Trump entourage began working on a business plan to cash in on the carnage.

Gaza, long the western military-industrial complex’s laboratory for field-testing weapons and surveillance technology, would now be repurposed as the world’s biggest redevelopment site.

As 60 Minutes’ Lesley Stahl approvingly observed of businessmen Kushner and Witkoff: “Part of the plan is the reconstruction, the building, rebuilding of Gaza. And you’re builders. You’ve been in real estate.”

The implication from Witkoff’s slip was clear: that what looked like a genocidal ethnic cleansing operation from the start was indeed just that. Trump’s team knew of Israel’s intentions and began putting together deals – both with the oil-rich Gulf states and, according to Witkoff, with Europe too.

The only continuing obstacle are armed resistance movements in Gaza that Washington is determined to disarm.

Starmer, like other western leaders, has hitched his wagon to the psychopaths who have been running this two-year horror show. It is not going away. They are determined to see it out, and reap the financial rewards.

Which means Starmer will have to maintain his “clash of civilisations” cover story and continue miring British politics more deeply in this divisive narrative.

That will require further demonising Britain’s ethnic minorities. It will exacerbate the country’s race relations wars. It will deepen the polarisation of British politics. It will lead to an ever-greater hollowing out of fundamental democratic rights. And, ultimately, it will usher in the far right on Farage’s coat-tails.

The legal and ethical earthquake that is the Gaza genocide was never going to be contained in Gaza. Its repercussions are simply too large. As the Maccabi Tel Aviv row demonstrates, the shockwaves for Britain are only going to keep growing louder.

However, eyewitness accounts from both surviving Israeli civilians and military personnel involved in the fighting show that the vast majority of those killed died from fire from Israeli soldiers and tanks directed at buildings where the civilians were either hiding or being held hostage by Hamas fighters. It took two days for the Israeli military to recapture Re’im. It only did so after tanks fired into the civilian residences, collapsing them onto their occupants, and often setting them ablaze, causing the bodies of those inside to be consumed by fire. The Israeli government has publicized how it has had to make use of the services of forensic archeologists to identify human remains at the Kibbutz, implying that Hamas had burned the occupants’ home. But the fact is it was Israeli tanks that did the destruction and killing. (toegevoegd op 8 oktober 2025)

A Second War With Iran Will Probably End Us All (15 januari 2026 ) Een artikel van Kartim, gepubliceerd op BettBeat Media >> We are closer to the end than we have ever been. Not the end of a government or a system or an era—the end of everything. Hier een passage uit dit verontrustende artikel >> Even two bombs would be enough. Not two hundred. Not fifty. Two. Today’s thermonuclear weapons are a thousand times more powerful than those that incinerated Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Two of them, detonated over a period of weeks, would be sufficient to alter the global climate in ways that would kill billions of people.

A Cruel Truce (15 januari 2026) Een artikel van Binoy Kampmark, gepubliceerd op Savage Minds >> Israel’s Shock-and-Awe Campaign in the West Bank. Hier een paar passages uit dit artikel >> The phrase (shock-and-awe) is apt in describing what Israel has done in the occupied West Bank almost immediately following the events of 7 October 2023, and the start of the Israeli genocide in Gaza. Though the policy (of shock-and-awe) is often discussed in the context of US foreign policy—from Iraq to Haiti—Israel has employed shock-and-awe tactics with greater frequency, consistency, and refinement. Unlike the US, which has applied the doctrine episodically across distant theaters, Israel has used it continuously against a captive population living under its direct military control. In a 12 January report, The New York Times found that Israel had razed over 2,500 buildings in the Strip since the ceasefire with Hamas commenced on October 10, 2025. These have been initiated on the Israeli side of the demarcated side known as the Yellow Line. The report, however, also notes the demolition of buildings on the side controlled by Hamas. “The scale of ongoing destruction is stark. Across eastern Gaza, in areas under Israeli control, satellite imagery reveals that entire blocks have been erased since the cease-fire, as well as swaths of farmland and agricultural greenhouses.”

These images show the destruction by the IDF in Al Bayuk between 14 October 2025 (left) and 5 November 2025. Photo source: Planet Labs PBC Zo ziet een ‘staakt het vuren’ eruit in de ogen van Israël…… (voor een grotere foto klik op de link hierboven: ‘A Cruel Truce’)
The Flotillas to Gaza Are the World’s Conscience(15 januari 2026) Een artikel van Chris Hedges >> The numerous attempts by activists in flotillas, to break the siege on Gaza, are a potent reminder that hope comes through acts of resistance and that we must never accept the status quo.

A War without Headlines (15 januari 2026) Een artikel van Ramzy Baroud gepubliceerd op Savage Minds. >> Israel’s Shock-and-Awe Campaign in the West Bank.

Trump Aims To Destroy Iran, Not Democratize It w/ Laith Marouf (14 januari 2026) Een video van en met inleiding door Dimitri Lascaris. Hier een deel van de inleiding >> After the fall of Bashar al-Assad, Israel’s military embarked upon a prolonged and intensive bombing campaign to destroy Syria’s capacity to defend itself. In recent weeks, the U.S. has joined in the bombing of Syria and in Israel’s project to convert Syria into a failed state. What does this tell us about Trump’s plans for Iran? The most logical inference is that, if the Islamic Republic falls, the U.S. and Israel will exploit its demise to cripple Iran permanently. Even worse, they may seek to dismember the country.

Barrister’s powerful speech at Filton Trial reminds jury of its right to defy judge‘ (14 januari 2026) Een artikel van Jonathan Cook >> Starmer and the media need convictions to justify Palestine Action’s proscription as a terrorist group. Rajiv Menon KC spells out to the jury why it is a vital last defence against government tyranny. Hier de eerste passage uit dit artikel >> My thanks to Craig Murray, former UK ambassador turned whistleblower, for alerting me to what he rightly calls “one of the greatest legal speeches – including historical speeches – I have ever read”. It is that indeed.

Every time, the media sides with the apologists for genocide(13 januari 2026) Een artikel van Joanthan Cook >> Stop making moral outcasts of doctors and teachers for their principled opposition to genocide. Turn your fire instead on MPs, the media and pro-Israel lobby groups for their pitiless hypocrisy. Hier 2 passages uit dit artikel >> British-Palestinian doctor Ghassan Abu Sittah was cleared last week by a UK tribunal of misconduct charges, related to social media posts, that could have seen him removed from medical practice. The surgeon has been a focus of the Israel lobby’s vilification efforts, in large part, because he has been such a prominent and vocal advocate for Palestinians facing genocide in Gaza. He volunteered right at the start of Israel’s barbarous assault on the enclave, performing surgery on Palestinians who had been maimed by US-supplied bombs dropped by Israel. He was among the first to tell the world that what we were witnessing was a genocide.

Genocide Isn’t A Mistake(12 januari 2026) Een artikel van Jonathan Cook >> Which Is Why The Media Can’t Tell You The Truth About Gaza. Dit artikel gaat over de film The Voice of Hind Rajab, het 5 jarig Palestijnse meisje dat op een gruwelijk langzame manier werd vermoord door beesten van het Israëlische leger, een film die in de VS ondanks een hoge prijs op het filmfestival van Venetië, daar amper wordt vertoond…..

Eastern Mediterranean Geopolitics Are Becoming More Complex(11 januari 2026) Een artikel van Andrew Korybko >> Tensions are growing between Turkiye-Pakistan and Israel-Cyprus-Greece. Hier een passage uit dit artikel >> Stability in the Eastern Mediterranean can no longer be taken for granted as a result of three recent developments: 1) the growing Turkish-Israeli rivalry in post-Assad Syria; 2) Israel’s reported plans to establish a rapid response force with Cyprus and Greece; and 3) Turkish ally Pakistan’s new military ties with Eastern Libya’s General Khalifa Haftar. The aforesaid are unfolding amidst Israel’s plans for an underwater EastMed gas pipeline to Greece and Turkiye’s maritime claims that cut right across its route.

From Gaza to Venezuela, the US has been unmasked as the serial villain‘ (6 januari 2026) Een artikel van Jonathan Cook >> The path to Caracas – and potentially next to Colombia, Cuba and Greenland, other targets of Donald Trump’s colonial greed – was paved in Gaza. Hier de eerste 3 passages uit dit artikel >> For decades, the United States and Israel have stuck closely to their respective, scripted roles in the Middle East: the job of good cop and bad cop. The charade has continued despite Washington’s active participation in Israel’s 25-month slaughter of Gaza’s people – and a dawning realisation among ever-larger sections of western publics that they have been duped. Here is my first prediction of 2026: this law enforcement role-playing is going to continue even after the Trump administration’s outrageously illegal abduction of Venezuela’s president, Nicolas Maduro, at the weekend, and Trump’s admission that the US attack was about grabbing the country’s oil.

BlackNest: Inside Canary Mission’s Secret Web of Unlisted Sites (6 januari 2026) Een artikel van Jaqueline Sweet, gepubliceerd op Drop Site News >> One Canary Mission-affiliated website, BlackNest, reveals the group’s internal operations, plans to expand, and how they celebrate deportations and firings. Zionisten en christen-zionisten die pro-Palestijnse demonstranten en anderen die zich pro-Palestijns, anti-Israel uitlaten identificeren en aangeven bij o.a. hun werkgevers en overheidsorganen als ICE, Trumps Gestapo. Een paar jaar gelden werd al bekendgemaakt dat in Israël een task force is gevormd die zich bezighoudt met wat er over Israël wordt gepubliceerd en desnoods een media aanval uitvoert op de afzender/publicist.

“No Other Country”‘ (1 januari 2026) Een arftikel van Ross Mackay, gepubliceerd op Savage Minds >> Israel, the Pariah. Hier een passage uit dit artikel die beschrijft hoe beestachtig Israël omgaat met de Palestijnen, al zou ‘beestachtig’ inhouden dat dieren zich zo zouden gedragen, waar absoluut geen sprake van is!! >> Since the 1967 occupation, any residual doubt about Israel’s pariah status has vanished. A permanent regime of domination has taken shape: relentless illegal settlement expansion enforced by settler militias operating without fear of repercussion; the 700-kilometre apartheid wall annexing land, isolating communities, and entrenching de facto borders; environmental warfare through sewage dumping, land theft, and the uprooting of over a million olive trees; the routine use of “skunk water” to contaminate homes and neighbourhoods; mass imprisonment without charge; routine torture, sexual violence—including the use of dogs—forced stripping and filming, child detention, and deaths in custody; collective punishment through siege, starvation, and displacement; systematic destruction of homes, hospitals, schools, and cultural life; repeated regional attacks carried out with complete exemption from consequences; and targeted assassinations at home and abroad—Israel is the West’s leading practitioner of political assassination. Het westen heeft een paar dagen geleden (het is nu 2 januari 2025) een twintigste pakket aan sancties opgelegd aan Rusland, terwijl wat er in Oekraïne gebeurt nog niet in de schaduw kan staan van de gruwelijkheden die Israël de Palestijnen aandoet, echter tot op heden zelfs niet 1 westerse sanctie tegen deze monsterlijk gewelddadig genocidale fascistische staat….. Waar het westen zelfs kritiek op dit fascistische geweld durft af te schilderen als antisemitisme, ofwel dergelijk geweld wordt alleen getolereerd als zionisten dat uitoefenen….

Secessionist Pantomime‘ (2 januari 2026) Een artikel van Binoy Kampmark, gepublicerd op Savage Minds >> Israel Recognises Somaliland. Hier een passage uit dit artikel >> Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shamelessly plagiarised the lingo and language kit of those Member States of the UN who dared treat the Palestinians as a national group worthy of acknowledged sovereignty. In a call with Somaliland President Abdirhaman Mohamed Abdullahi on 26 December, Netanyahu stressed the importance of Somaliland’s “right to self-determination” in recognising it.

Israel Bans Aid Groups For The Same Reason It Bans Journalists, And Other Notes‘ (1 januari 2026) Een artikel van Caitlin Johnstone >> Doctors and aid workers largely became the de facto journalists on the ground in Gaza when Israel banned international news media and began systematically assassinating Gaza-based Palestinian journalists. So Israel wants to get rid of those de facto reporters to hide its crimes. (al heeft Israel vanaf 7 oktober 2023 met opzet medisch personeel vermoord, gevangengenomen, verkracht en op andere manieren gemarteld, niet alleen worden de Palestijnen vermoord, middels honger en kou en directe massamoord, maar ook door alle medische hulp onmogelijk te maken, barbaarse schoftenpraktijken op Wereldoorlog II-Duits-nazi-niveau!!)

Trump, Netanyahu Signal Their Intent To Escalate Their Genocide‘ (31 december 2025) Een video met inleiding door Dimitri Lascaris. Hier de eerste 2 passages uit de inleiding >> As 2025 drew to a close, Netanyahu returned to the United States for yet another meeting with Donald Trump. At their press conference following their meeting, the chummy war criminals put on a nauseating display of genocidal bromance. They then signalled their intention to resume the mass slaughter of Palestinians by falsely claiming that the resistance in Gaza had agreed to disarm. (wat Hamas uiteraard niet doet, vergeet niet dat Hamas moet worden gezien als een verzetsgroep en zoals het verzet tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog in ons land door de nazi-Duitse bezetter en de Nederlandse politie destijds werd gezien als terreur!!)

Once again, the New York Times sells Israel’s genocide in Gaza as law enforcement(31 december 2025) Een artikel van Jonathan Cook.>> Israel is expelling 37 aid groups – a likely death sentence for 100,000s of Palestinians. But the Times speaks only of ‘new rules’ in Gaza, and ‘suspensions’ for those who ‘resist registration’

This Is Not a Ceasefire‘ (31 december 2025) Een artikel van Vijay Prashads, gepubliceerd op Savage Minds >> The Israeli Genocide Continues. Hier een passage uit dit artikel >> That first ceasefire ended in March and was only revived in October 2025. During the intervening period, Israel took advantage of the situation to pummel Gaza once more without facing criticism from its major backers in Europe and the United States (who continued to arm Israel). The second “ceasefire” has been as ineffective as the first, with Israel having violated its terms 969 times between 10 October and 29 December.

Francesca Albanese and the Lonely Road of Defiance‘ (30 december 2025) Een artikel van Chris Hedges >> The U.N. special rapporteur is one of the most courageous crusaders against the genocide in Gazen. Because of this, she is blacklisted and treated as if she is a terrorist. In dit artikel wordt onder andere aandacht besteed aan een rapport van the Human Rights Council besteed >> ‘From economy of occupation to economy of genocide‘ Zie het rapport voor meer details, hier een passage uit dit rapport >> In her report, Francesca lists 48 corporations and institutions, including Palantir Technologies, Lockheed Martin, Alphabet Inc., Amazon, International Business Machines Corporation (IBM), Caterpillar Inc., Microsoft Corporation and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), along with banks and financial firms such as BlackRock, insurers, real estate firms and charities, which in violation of international law, are making billions from the occupation and the genocide of Palestinians.

The Israeli Government Put My Name At The Top Of An ‘Antisemite’ List‘ (30 december 2025) Een artikel van Caitlin Johnstone >> My name appears at the top of a list in a document the Israeli government released earlier this month in order to draw false associations between the Bondi Beach shooting and online criticism of Israel and its atrocities.

One Year Since Israel Abducted Dr. Abu Safiya‘ (27 december 2025) Een artikel van Ana Vračar >> International Calls Grow for the Release of Palestinian Health Workers. Hier de eerste 2 passage suit dit artikel >> On 27 December 2024, Israeli occupation forces (IOF) set fire to Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza and proceeded to abduct its director, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya. The pediatrician has now spent a year in Israeli prisons, amid consistent reports of abuse, violence, and torture. “His only ‘crime’ was taking care of patients in his hospital until the final moments before Israel abducted him,” CODEPINK wrote in an appeal. “He remains in Israeli detention—alongside hundreds of other medical workers abducted from Gaza—subjected to the kind of violence that should be condemned universally.”

They Feign Concern About Pro-Palestine Chants In Order To Shut Down Pro-Palestine Protests‘ (29 december 2025) Een artikel van Caitlin Johnstone >> If they weren’t concern-trolling about “globalize the intifada” they’d make up some other excuse to express their concern, and they know it. Hier de eerste passage uit dit artikel >> It’s such an insult to our intelligence how Israel supporters pretend it’s the WAY pro-Palestine protests are happening that they object to, and not the protests themselves. Like if protesters were saying different chants they’d be totally cool with opposition to Israel’s crimes.

Two Years, One Million Dead, Zero Consequences: What Did Israel Lose? Nothing‘ (28 december 2025) Een artikel van Karim, gepubliceerd op BettBeat Media >> Name One Consequence. You Can’t. Welcome to Capitalism. Hier een deel uit dit artikel >> The ledger is in. The accountants have tallied the columns. And the verdict of the market is clear: genocide pays. Two years into Israel’s systematic extermination of the Palestinian people, we can now assess the returns on investment. The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu. Independent estimates suggest the death toll approaches one million souls—though we will never know the true number, because the dead cannot be counted when the counters themselves are buried beneath the rubble. The entire population of Gaza has been displaced, starved, bombed, and terrorized in what historians will one day recognize as the most documented genocide in human history. As you read this sentence, Palestinian babies are freezing to death in tents shredded by icy winds—and the world is discussing fake ‘ceasefire’ terms over coffee. And Israel has never been more powerful. This is not tragedy nor failure. This is the system working exactly as designed.

The Case for Expelling Israel from Eurovision‘ (26 december 2025) Een artikel van Ramzy Baroud en Romana Rubeo. Hier 3 passages uit dit artikel >> “Complicity” is a possible alternative, though still not enough to fully explain the West’s insistence on whitewashing the Israeli genocide against the Palestinian people. Many of those protesting Israel’s inclusion in the competition, which typically attracts tens of millions of viewers worldwide, rightly note that Russia was expelled within 36 hours after its February 2022 invasion of Ukraine. In fact, the Russian example does not stop at Eurovision. Thousands of such sanctions have been slapped against Moscow in every possible field, from politics to the economy to sports, culture, and more.

Hunger Strikers’ Lives at Risk‘ (26 december 2025) Een artikel van Ana Vračar, gepuibliceerd op Savage Minds >> Starmer Government Refuses Engagement and Continues Its Support of Genocide. Hier de eerstre passage uit dit artikel >> More Palestine solidarity hunger strikers in Britain have been hospitalized over the past week, as half of those taking part in the protest pass more than 50 days without food. While Keir Starmer’s administration continues to refuse engagement with the activists’ demands, health workers and family members warn of serious risks of death. Testimonies from the strikers themselves describe harsh physical decline. “I don’t think people realize how serious this is, as on day 35 you risk brain damage, organ failure and heart attack,” Rahma Hoxha, sister of hunger striker Teuta Hoxha, said on 18 December.

Palantir’s Palestine: How AI Gods Are Building Our Extinction‘ (26 december 2025) Een artikel van Karim, gepubliceerd op BettBeat Media. >> The machines are not coming for us. They are already here. And the men who control them have made their intentions terrifyingly clear. Hier 2 passages uit dit artikel >> Professor Stuart Russell has spent fifty years studying artificial intelligence. He wrote the textbook from which nearly every AI CEO in Silicon Valley learned their craft. And now, at eighty hours a week, he works not to advance the field he helped create, but to prevent it from annihilating the species. “They are playing Russian roulette with every human being on Earth,” Russell said in a recent interview, his voice carrying the weight of someone who has seen the calculations and understood their implications. “Without our permission. They’re coming into our houses, putting a gun to the head of our children, pulling the trigger, and saying, ‘Well, you know, possibly everyone will die. Oops. But possibly we’ll get incredibly rich.’”

Stop Picking On Poor Little Israel‘ (23 december 2025) Een artikel van Caitlin Johnstone >> There was a mass shooting in Australia so now everyone needs to shut up and do whatever Israel wants. Israel feels sad about the shooting so now it gets to do a bit more genocide, as a treat. It’s only fair. Hier nog een passage uit dit uiterst sarcastische maar mooie artikel >> You just hate Jews. That’s the only possible reason you could spend so much time obsessing about this one tiny little harmless country: you’ve got a crazy, irrational fixation on a small abrahamic religion, because you’re a weirdo. Stop saying it’s actually about all the wars and atrocities and apartheid and starving children and lobbying and propaganda and nonstop assaults on your civil rights and your government’s complicity in genocidal abuses and the fact that you can’t engage in any aspect of society without having pro-Israel influence operations shoved down your throat. No. That’s not it. It’s because you get freakishly enraged by small hats.

How reporting facts can now land you in jail for 14 years as a terrorist‘ (22 december 2025) Een artikel van Jonathan Cook >> Starmer’s government has set the most dangerous of precedents: it can now outlaw any political group it chooses as a terrorist organisation – and thereby make it impossible to defend it. Fascistische wetgeving in Groot-Brittannie, hier 2 passages uit dit artikel >> The moment the British government began proscribing political movements as terrorist organisations, rather than just militant groups, it was inevitable that saying factual things, making truthful statements, would become a crime. And lo behold, here we are. The Terrorism Act 2000 has a series of provisions that make it difficult to voice or show any kind of support for an organisation proscribed under the legislation, whether it is writing an article or wearing a T-shirt.

Western elites fear a ‘globalised intifada’ because they are its targets, not Jews‘ (20 december 2025) Een artikel van Jonathan Cook >> While western publics are being demonised as racists, the technology and strategies used today against Palestinians will become the walls of tomorrow’s prisons for us all.

The Three Narratives‘ (20 december 2025) Een artikel van Ramzy Baroud, gepubliceerd op Savage Minds >> Gaza as the Last Moral Frontier against Israel’s Policy of Annihilation. Hier een passage uit dit artikel >> The third narrative is Israel’s—and it is the only one backed by concrete, aggressive policy. This vision is written through sustained, systematic violence against civilians, aggressive land seizures, deliberate home demolitions, and explicit government declarations that a Palestinian state will never be permitted. Its actors operate with chilling impunity, rapidly creating irreversible facts on the ground. Crucially, the failure to enforce accountability for this pervasive violence is the primary reason Israel has been able to sustain its devastating genocide in Gaza for two full years.

Hoe heeft de wereld deze verneitiging kunnen toestaan zonder ook maar 1 sanctie….. (en nog steeds gaat de genocide door…..)

Gaza still faces starvation, IPC says; 16 killed in RSF attacks on Sudan’s South Kordofan; Protests erupt in Bangladesh‘ (19 december 2025) Een artikel van Drop Site Daily.

Washington sanctions two International Criminal Court judges for advancing cases involving Israel.

Hamas: We Did Not Surrender and Will Not Abandon Our Struggle for Liberation‘ (19 december 2025) Een artikel van Jeremy Scahill and Jawa Ahmad >> As Trump scrambles to push his nebulous Gaza plan forward, the Palestinian resistance says Israel is continuing its pattern of abusing “peace” agreements to further its war of annihilation. En vergeet nooit dat Hamas een verzetsorganisatie is, zoals Nederland tijdens de nazi-bezetting in de Tweede Wereldoorlog meerdere verzetsorganisaties had, die door de Duitse nazi-bezetter werden weggezet als terreurgroepen!!!

(ja een beetje vreemd, humane fascisten bestaan niet)

Using the Slain‘ (16 december 2025) Een artikel van Binoy Kampmark, gepubliceerd op Savage Minds >> Hier de eerste passage uit dit artikel >> Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rarely passes an opportunity to comment upon the way Jews in other countries are treated. While the manic hatred directed against Jews remains one of history’s grotesque legacies, opportunism in the Netanyahu government is a ready instinct. With a customary sense of perversion, Netanyahu has managed to mangle Israeli policy, his own political destiny and the interests of Jews in a terrible, terrifying mix. The broad stroke charge of antisemitism is the front name of this venture, and it conveniently presents itself whenever Israeli policy requires an alibi when pursuing particularly unsavoury policies: massacre, starvation and dispossession of Gazans; the continued destruction and intended eradication of a functional Palestinian entity; efforts to prevent criticism of its settler policies in other countries.

Garbage Is Poisoning Gaza‘ (16 december 2025) Een artikel van Abdel Qader Sabbah en Sharif Abdel Kouddous, gepubliceerd op Drop Site News >> With Israel controlling all of Gaza’s major landfill areas, 900,000 tons of solid waste have been dumped across the enclave, exacerbating a public health crisis.

The lobby is milking the Bondi Beach attack to silence critics of Israel’s genocide‘ (16 december 2025) Een artikel van Jonathan Cook >> It is years of dedicated work by the Israel lobby that has ensured the mass murder of Palestinians is viewed by governments, the media and parts of the Jewish community as entirely legitimate (en dat geldt zelfs voor de genocide die de fascistische apartheidsstaat Israël uitvoert op de Palestijnen, dagelijks worden daar nog steeds meerdere Palestijnen vermoord, zonder enige ophef bij de overgrote meerderheid van de westerse bevolking, hun media en politici!!!)

Australians Being Massacred Shouldn’t Bother Us More Than Palestinians Being Massacred‘ (16 december 2025) Een artikel van Caitlin Johnstone >> Palestinians don’t love their families any less than Australians do. Australian lives aren’t any more significant or valuable than Palestinian lives. There is no valid reason for the world to have focused any less on the 15 people who were killed in Gaza on March 16 than on the 15 people who were murdered on Bondi Beach. But it did.

To Israel Apologists Hasten Use Bondi Shooting To Attack Anti-Genocide Activists‘ (15 december 2025) Een artikel van Caitlin Johnstone >> It’s so gross watching the tail-wagging excitement of Israel supporters in response to this shooting.

The Encampments (w/ Mahmoud Khalil and Michael Workman) | The Chris Hedges Report‘ (11 december 2025) Een video met manuscript van Chris Hedges >> The documentary “The Encampments” captures what the corporate media hid during the 2024 mass student protests against Israel’s genocide — that a rainbow coalition organized against genocide. (en hoe de reguliere massamedia logen over geweld van ‘antisemieten’, ofwel studenten die zich vreedzaam hebben verzet tegen de samenwerking van hun universiteiten met de fascistisch genocidale terreurstaat Israel en die juist werd aangevallen door zionisten!!)

Israel’s biggest con trick: Hiding the true numbers it has killed in Gaza‘ (10 december 2025) Een artikel van Jonathan Cook >> Israel has penned us all into a ‘debate’, one entirely divorced from reality, that relates only to those killed directly by its bombs and gunfire – not the genocide it is waging by other means. Hier 2 passages uit dit artikel >> The truth is that far, far larger numbers of people in Gaza have been actively killed by Israel not through these direct means but through what statisticians refer to as “indirect” methods. These people were killed by Israel destroying their homes and leaving them with no shelter. By Israel destroying their water and electricity supplies and their sanitation systems. By Israel levelling their hospitals. By Israel starving them. By Israel creating the perfect conditions for disease to spread. The list of ways Israel is killing people in Gaza goes on and on.

I Thought I Knew What Genocide Was >> Listening to the Testimonies of People in Gaza, I Realised I Know Nothing About Suffering‘ (9 december 2025) Een artikel van Biljana Vankovska, gepubliceerd op Savage Minds. Hiere een passage uit dit artikel >> As a professor who has spent over 40 years studying questions of war and peace, international law and relations—and, above all, the human consequences of armed conflict—I once believed I knew what genocide was. De auteur was deelnemer aan het Gaza Tribunaal dat plaatsvond in Istanbul van 23 tot 26 oktober 2025, als volgende nog een aantal punten uit de verklaring van bevindingen en het morele oordeel over de genocide, die werd en wordt uitgevoerd op dePalestijnen in de Gazastrook (zie ook het artikel van Ramzy Baroud over het Gaza Tribunaal verderop hieronder, gepubliceerd op 6 november 2025):

The Jury condemns the commission of the following additional crimes:

Starvation and famine throuhgh the deliberate denial of food, water and systematic destruction of the entire food system.

Domicide is more than the intentional mass destruction of residential properties and their infrastructure – electricity, water and sanitation. A home is about love, life, a repository of memories, hopes and aspiration. Its destruction causes displacement, trauma, the disintegration of communities and profound cultural loss.

Ecocide describes a particular kind of warfare based on ruination of land fertility, air quality, sources of food and water: catastrophic environmental damage that destroys the capacity to survive after the bombing ceases.

Deliberate destruction and targeting of the healthcare infrastructure, equipment and personnel have been systematic for decades and has become almost total. The most important issue for physical and mental health is the Israeli occupation and the dehumanisation of the population.

Reprocide is the intentional and systematic targeting of Palestinian reproductive care through prevention of births, eliminating future lives and the ability to reproduce safely.

Scholasticide is the genocide of knowledge, the destruction of Palestine’s intellectual future through the killing, silencing and displacing a generation of students and teachers, obliteration of schools and universities, destroying dreams and aspirations.

Attacks on journalists. ‘Genocide documentation’ is carried out by Palestinian journalists and they and their families are targeted. Silencing these journalists is instrumental to the concealment of the genocide and more journalists have been killed than in any other conflict.

Torture, sexual violence, disappearances, gender-based violence in detention, at checkpoints, in house searches, in displacement and elsewhere.

Politicide is the targeted assassination and kidnapping of political and cultural leaders, representatives, activists, and destruction of civic institutions.

The Jury finds a coherent and consistent pattern of exterminatory violence in the intentional and targeted destruction of homes, water supplies, schools, hospitals, clinics, universities, cultural and religious institutions, agricultural land, and natural ecosystems. The weaponization of hunger, denial of medical care, and forced displacement are not collateral damages of war—they are instruments of collective punishment of the entire population and of genocide. They are not justified by any claim of military objectives.

Since the Gaza genocide began over two years ago, thousands of Palestinians have been disappeared into cages, camps, and subterranean cells, denied sunlight, food, medical care and even their own names.

Hier een passage uit dit artikel >> Palestine 36, directed by the remarkable Palestinian film-maker Annemarie Jacir, illuminates more about the events unfolding for the past two years in Gaza than anything you will read in a British newspaper or watch on the BBC – if, that is, you can find anything at all about Gaza in the news since Donald Trump rebranded the killing and dispossession of Palestinians as a “ceasefire”.

The UN Human Rights Office of the High Commissioner, counting among their number Francesca Albanese, Ben Saul and Irene Khan, issued a press release in early July expressing their bafflement at the proscription. “According to international standards, acts of protest that damage property, but are not intended to kill or injure people, should not be treated as terrorism.” Since the addition of Palestine Action to the naughty list of outlawed organisations, over 2,200 arrests have been made citing terrorism legislation, with 254 people charged with terrorism offences merely for participating in peaceful protests.

And a battle is brewing over who speaks for the Palestinian liberation cause. Hier nog een passage uit dit artikel >> “It’s an Israeli plan that has been rebranded as a Trump plan,” said Diana Buttu, a human rights lawyer who previously served as an advisor to Palestinian negotiators. “All of the guarantees are being given to Israel, but there’s no guarantees that are given to Palestinians. The fact [is] that all of the control rests in the hands of Israel. No control is ceded to anybody else; it looks to me entirely like an Israeli plan that was rebranded as a Trump plan—not the other way around,” Buttu told Drop Site. “It was a plan that was designed to ease the pressure off of Israel and, at the same time, let Israel continue to kill Palestinians—let them try to ethnically cleanse Gaza. It exatly matches what Israel said from the beginning.”

So-Called Gaza ‘Ceasefire’ Becoming Smokescreen For Continued Israeli Genocide. Hier 2 passages uit dit artikel >> Ms. Callamard warned that: “The ceasefire risks creating a dangerous illusion that life in Gaza is returning to normal. But while Israeli authorities and forces have reduced the scale of their attacks and allowed limited amounts of humanitarian aid into Gaza, the world must not be fooled. Israel’s genocide is not over.” Amnesty observes that Israeli fighter pilots and troops have killed about 350 people in Gaza since the so-called ceasefire was trumpeted on 9 October. Moreover, Israelis are deliberately obstructing the process of rebuilding “life-sustaining infrastructure.” This cruel behavior is also illegal, directly violating “multiple orders from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for Israel to ensure that Palestinians have access to humanitarian supplies.”

On 17 November 2025, the UN Security Council passed a resolution endorsing Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu’s so-called “peace plan” for Gaza. In a statement, the Cabinet of the Progressive International condemned it as a colonial scheme and a “calculated attempt to erase the horizon of Palestinian liberation.” This is not the first time the Trump administration has imposed a so-called “peace” on a besieged people. In Sudan, the US is brokering a “peace process” under the banner of the Quad Initiative — a mechanism launched by the US together with the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, all of which have supplied parties to the vicious war for their own benefit.

They just keep finding new ways to carve off more pieces of Gaza and murder more Palestinians. Haaretz has a disturbing story out about a 14 year-old Palestinian boy who was waiting for his school bus in the West Bank on a quiet street eating a cookie, when suddenly a bunch of IDF vehicles pulled up and a soldier shot him directly in the face with a teargas canister. Then they sped off. The boy lost his right eye in the attack. Zie ook verderop het bericht onder de link van 20 november 2025 met de titel ‘ The New Kill Zone’

Hier 2 passages uit dit artikel >> On 17 November 2025, the UN Security Council passed a resolution to endorse President Trump’s plan for Gaza, including a transitional government headed by Trump himself and an International Stabilization Force (ISF) that is expected, among other tasks, to disarm Hamas, a task that Israel has failed to do through two years of genocide and mass destruction. The ISF will be tasked with securing the borders in a way that confines Palestinians, stabilizing Gaza’s security environment by suppressing resistance, demilitarizing Gaza while leaving the Israeli regime untouched, and training the Palestinian police to control the population. Yes, the force is also mandated to “protect civilians” and assist humanitarian aid. But under US supervision, can anyone honestly expect it to restrain Israel when Israel simply refuses to comply—as we see with the current so-called “ceasefire”?

Hier 2 passages uit dit artikel >> Many pro-Palestine activists are now highlighting the direct complicity of Western media, especially in the UK, in attempting to whitewash the rape accusations against Israeli soldiers. Instead of using the unequivocal word “rape,” mainstream outlets refer to the horrific Sde Teiman episodes merely as “abuses.” While Israeli politicians and other war criminals are openly celebrating the so-called “abuses” and the rapists as national heroes, mainstream British and French media are still refusing to accept that the widespread torture, rape, and mistreatment of Palestinians is part of a centralized, systemic agenda, not mere individual “abuses.” Compare this to the wall-to-wall, sensationalized coverage of alleged “mass rape” by Palestinians in southern Israel on 7 October—despite the fact that no independent investigation was ever conducted, and that the claims were made by the Israeli army without credible evidence.

All the floors collapsed on my son; there were no tools and no one able to get him out. My son and my neighbor’s son are in the same house, and no one can reach them. As much as we tried to appeal to civil defense, there are no services. There is nothing in Gaza.”

Dozens of unidentified bodies returned by Israel buried in a mass grave in Gaza; Trump seeks $230 million compensation for past federal investigations‘ >> Drop Site Daily: October 22, 2025 >> Gaza authorities bury 54 unidentified bodies handed over by Israel, some bearing signs of abuse and torture. The number of food trucks allowed into Gaza remains far below the required minimum as outlined in the ceasefire agreement. Three Palestinian fishermen are arrested off the coast of Gaza. Israeli forces detain at least 45 Palestinians in raids across the occupied West Bank. Vice President JD Vance tells reporters on his visit to Israel that disarming Hamas is “going to take a little bit of time,” and threatens to “obliterate” the group unless it is fully cooperative. Sixteen-year-old Palestinian-American Mohammad Zaher Taysir Ibrahim details the severe overcrowding, starvation, and unsanitary conditions inside Ofer prison, where he was detained.

Israel Flipped Out And Killed 45 Palestinians After Running Over Their Own Bomb‘ (!!!!) (20 oktober 2025) Een artikel van Caitlin Johnstone >> Killing Palestinians is so normalized and accepted as a baseline expectation in the western press that CNN called it the “first major test” of the ceasefire after Israel killed people in Gaza every single day since the ceasefire agreement was signed.

The Genocide Will Not End (19 oktober 2025) Een artikel van Vijay Pashad, gepubloiceerd op Savage Minds >> Unless the Palestinian Political Leaders Are Free. Hier 2 passages uit dit artikel >> Slowly, a full picture of the devastation of Gaza by Israel is becoming clear. The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) released a report around the time of the ceasefire that began to lay out the numbers: Israel’s bombardment of Gaza resulted in the total destruction of 190,115 buildings and the almost total destruction of another 330,500 housing units. The constant artillery and aerial fire over the 734 days of the genocide resulted in the wrecking of eighty-five percent of Gaza’s water and sewage system. Only one medical facility remained open in Gaza City at the time of the ceasefire, with ninety-four percent of hospitals and clinics destroyed or badly damaged. In fact, according to the PCBS, Gaza is currently unlivable. It is impossible to know the full extent of the physical and mental damage inflicted upon the Palestinian people of Gaza: the Ministry of Health has inadequate numbers for the dead and injured, and the trauma will only be known over the course of the years—if specialists are indeed able to return to the area. The United Nations reports that its entire child protection apparatus in Gaza has ‘almost collapsed’. Stunningly, the UN notes that one in five babies in Gaza is born preterm or underweight, and that in June 2025, 11,000 pregnant women faced famine conditions while 17,000 more struggled with acute malnutrition without much relief.

They Said The Massacres Would Stop When The Hostages Were Released. They Haven’t Stopped‘ (18 oktober 2025) Een artikel van Caitlin Johnstone >> Israel’s genocidal intent has been on full display every minute of every day, and it continues to be even during this joke of a “ceasefire” where the genocide was theoretically supposed to be on pause for a little while. Hier nog een passage uit dit artikel >> On Friday Israel reportedly blew up a vehicle carrying a Palestinian family of eleven people, including seven children. The IDF gave its usual excuse for the massacre: the civilians were deemed to have crossed an invisible line into a forbidden zone which made the Israeli soldiers feel unsafe. They did this exact same thing constantly during the last “ceasefire” as well.

Returning to Shujaiya: Palestinians Are Going Back to Gaza City Despite Proximity of Israeli Troops‘ (17 oktober 2025) Een artikel van Abdel Qader Sabbah, gepubliceerd op Drop Site News >> Parts of Shujaiya lie inside the “yellow line,” an invisible demarcation where the Israeli military withdrew as part of the initial phase of the ceasefire agreement. )Hier een passage uit het uiterst trieste artikel (ik heb een deel van de tekst vetgemaakt >> Much of Gaza is still in the grip of a worsening famine, with Israel restricting the number of humanitarian aid trucks admitted under the terms of the ceasefire deal and with the Rafah border crossing still closed. Along with the continued restrictions on food, fuel, and medicine, Israel is restricting the entry of heavy equipment and machinery necessary to clear tens of millions of tons of rubble, underneath which thousands of Palestinians killed in the war remain buried and missing. A United Nations Development Program representative told a press briefing this week that the amount of rubble in Gaza would stack 12 meters high in all of Central Park in New York City or be enough to build 13 giant pyramids in Egypt.

Israeli Officials Are Openly Saying They Plan To Resume Attacks On Gaza‘ (13 oktober 2025) Een artikel van Caitlin Johnstone >> Israel’s top officials are openly declaring that they intend to terminate the Gaza ceasefire after they get their hostages back. Hier 2 passages uit dit artikel >> Defense Minister Israel Katz has posted a tweet in Hebrew which machine translates as follows: “Israel’s great challenge after the phase of returning the hostages will be the destruction of all of Hamas’s terror tunnels in Gaza, directly by the IDF and through the international mechanism to be established under the leadership and supervision of the United States. This is the primary significance of implementing the agreed-upon principle of demilitarizing Gaza and neutralizing Hamas of its weapons. I have instructed the IDF to prepare for carrying out the mission.” Hamas has not agreed to any demilitarization or destruction of its tunnels. There is no way to demilitarize Gaza and neutralize Hamas of its weapons against their will without continued warfare, something Israel has demonstrated it cannot do without killing shocking numbers of civilians. (de laatste link gaat naar een Guardian artikel, helaas achter alweer een belachelijke betaalmuur, in dat artikel wordt erover gesproken dat 83% van de Palestijnen die zijn vermoord behoren tot de burgerbevolking, ofwel 17% van de vermoorden bestaat uit Hamas strijders en die van Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ)…..

The onus is not on the victims of the genocide to end it by meeting certain conditions. This should not even need to be said.

The Trumpanyahu Administration Is Already Sabotaging The Ceasefire‘ (15 oktober 2025) Een artikel van Caitlin Johnstone, hier 2 passages uit dit artikel >> The IDF reportedly killed nine Palestinians trying to return to their homes today under the usual justification that they were traveling in some kind of unauthorized area in ways that made the troops feel threatened, blah blah. They did this all the time during the previous “ceasefire” at the beginning of the year, using the exact same excuses. Just as we speculated the other day might happen, Israel has announced that it is going to cut the aid it allows into Gaza in half and cut off fuel and gas shipments because Hamas hasn’t returned the bodies of all the dead Israeli hostages. Israel was fully aware when it signed the agreement that Hamas would not be able to deliver the bodies of all the hostages right away due to the rubble and chaos caused by the Israeli bombing campaign in Gaza.

Feminist Solidarity Means All Women‘ (11 oktober 2025) Een artikel van Heather Brunskell-Evans >> Confronting the Silence Around 7 October. Hier 2 passages uit dit artikel >> It seems necessary to revisit the issue of rape, not only because, on the second anniversary, social media is filled with discussions about the atrocities, including the allegation of rape, committed by Hamas. For many pro-Israel individuals, Hamas caused the “war” on 7 October and bears responsibility for the deaths of Palestinian civilians. Israel’s primary goal has been to defeat Hamas and ensure Israel’s safety, but “war is war,” and unfortunately women and children have been the innocent victims. It is necessary to address the issue of Hamas rape because it has resurfaced as a dividing issue between feminists, some of whom are pro-Israel, and some who are pro-Palestine. The feminist disagreement is not a side issue, an internecine fight between competing feminist groups, but instead has actively contributed to shaping public debate in favour of Israel, particularly through the success of pro-Israel feminists in having their views platformed and promoted by mainstream media. (zie ook het artikel van Brunskell-Evans onder de link ‘Free Free Palestine’, hieronder weergegeven op de datum 27 september 2025)

Israeli Soldiers Torched Food, Homes, and a Critical Sewage Treatment Plant in the Wake of Ceasefire Announcement‘ (12 oktober 2025) Een artikel van Younis Tirawi and Yaniv Cogan, gepubliceerd op Drop Site News>> Soldiers called the mass arson of Gaza City their “final touches.” Hier 2 passages uit dit artikel dat ten overvloede nog eens aangeeft dat de fascistische apartheidsstaat Israël met opzet de Gazastrook onbewoonbaar heeft gemaakt >> In the immediate aftermath of Donald Trump’s announcement on Thursday that both Hamas and Israel had signed off on an agreement to stop the fighting, the Israeli military launched an arson spree, setting fire to civilian infrastructure, including the destruction of an essential sanitation plant in Gaza City. The destruction of Palestinian structures following the departure of soldiers who had used them as temporary bases has been a hallmark of Israel’s approach to Gaza for two years. In July, Israeli reporter Yuval Abraham collected testimonies from soldiers describing a myriad of arson methods. “Every Arab house we entered had olive oil […] We poured the oil on the sofas, on anything flammable in the apartment, and then we ignited [it] or threw in a smoke grenade. This was a common practice,” one of them described. Hier een foto uit dit artikel met Israëlische militairen die een huis in brand steken (en reken maar dat alle voorwerpen van waarde werden gestolen door dit psychopathisch moordende geteisem):

Trump’s Sham Peace Plan‘ (11 oktober 2025) Chris Hedges >> There will be no peace in Gaza. Only the temporary absence of war. Hier 2 passages uit dit artikel >> There is no shortage of failed peace plans in occupied Palestine, all of them incorporating detailed phases and timelines, going back to the presidency of Jimmy Carter. They end the same way. Israel gets what it wants initially — in the latest case the release of the remaining Israeli hostages — while it ignores and violates every other phase until it resumes its attacks on the Palestinian people. It is a sadistic game. A merry-go-round of death. This ceasefire, like those of the past, is a commercial break. A moment when the condemned man is allowed to smoke a cigarette before being gunned down in a fusillade of bullets.

Thoughts On The Ceasefire News‘ (10 oktober 2025) Caitlin Johnstone >> Israel always does this. When normal people get a ceasefire agreement they think “Good, this means we can finally stop fighting and killing.” Whenever Israelis get a ceasefire agreement they go, “This means we have to hurry up and kill as many people as possible before it takes effect. >> De staatszender NOS berichtte vanmorgen (10 oktober 2025) dat Israël ook afgelopen nacht alsnog de Gazastrook bombardeerde, waarbij werd gezegd dat niet bekend is hoeveel Palestijnen er waren omgekomen (lees: vermoord). Ik neem aan dat dit bericht een foutje was, daar geen andere radiostation van Nederland, Duitsland en Groot-Brittannië dit wist te melden, daarmee bedoel ik niet dat het bericht niet waar zou zijn…..

I want Trump to fulfill his pledge and promise.” Addressing Trump, Abu Marzouk said, “Thank you for your efforts, and for your promise to stop the war and release the prisoners. We are committed to it. Just stop the war.”

Eén van de artikelen waarin dit werd gemeld, echter ik heb dit bericht niet in één orgaan gevonden behorend tot de reguliere westerse massamedia, ofwel deze media verzwijgen met opzet berichten die Israël totaal terecht in een kwaad daglicht stellen (al is dat bepaald geen nieuws), zelfs nadat Israël een genocide begon op basis van 7 oktober 2025, een genocide die intussen (het is nu 8 oktober 2025) al 2 jaar wordt uitgevoerd en die iedereen kan vinden in beeld en geluid op de sociale media, een genocide waarin minstens 680.000 Palestijnen zijn vermoord door die terreurstaat…..

The most successful military raid of this century: the October 7 Hamas assault on Israel‘ (20 november 2023 // 7 oktober 2025) >> I published this article back on November 20, 2023, approximately six weeks after the Hamas raid on Israel. On this, the second anniversary of the Hamas raid, this article has stood the test of time. Lees dit artikel mensen!! Een artikel van Scott Ritter, hier een passage uit dit artikel over de Kibboets Re’im >> The Israeli government has widely publicized what it is calling the “Re’im massacre,” citing a death toll of some 112 civilians it claims were murdered by Hamas. However, eyewitness accounts from both surviving Israeli civilians and military personnel involved in the fighting show that the vast majority of those killed died from fire from Israeli soldiers and tanks directed at buildings where the civilians were either hiding or being held hostage by Hamas fighters. It took two days for the Israeli military to recapture Re’im. It only did so after tanks fired into the civilian residences, collapsing them onto their occupants, and often setting them ablaze, causing the bodies of those inside to be consumed by fire. The Israeli government has publicized how it has had to make use of the services of forensic archeologists to identify human remains at the Kibbutz, implying that Hamas had burned the occupants’ home. But the fact is it was Israeli tanks that did the destruction and killing. (toegevoegd op 8 oktober 2025)

They need us to succumb to their lies. Hier nog 2 passages uit dit artikel >> Members of the Jewish community have been grieving for three days now over the killing of two innocent people in last week’s attack on a Manchester synagogue. Politicians and the media keep telling us how important it is to respect their grief. I and millions of other Britons, some of them Jews, have been grieving for much longer – over the killing of tens of children in Gaza not on one day last week but on every single day, without break, for two years. And yet no politicians or media seem to think it important to respect my grief. (en dat eigenlijk al vanaf 1948 en zelfs al van daarvoor, al is de genocide die Israël nu uitvoert een enorme intensivering van de massamoord op Palestijnen en hun kinderen…..)

Manchester: The Pornography of Convenient Terror‘ (3 oktober 2025) Eeen artikel geschreven door Karim en gepubliceerd op BettBeat Media >> In the theater of Empire, even authentic tragedies become scripted performances, and even genuine grief becomes political capital. Hier 2 passages uit dit artikel >> The machinery of Empire requires perfect timing. As Israeli bombs fell on Gaza, erasing 45 lives in a single night, the world’s attention was conveniently redirected to Manchester. A man named Jihad Al-Shami—a name so perfectly crafted for Western consumption it borders on parody—attacked worshippers at the Heaton Park Hebrew congregation on Yom Kippur, killing two and injuring three before being shot by police. Within minutes, the narrative crystallized with the efficiency of a well-rehearsed production. Anti-Semitic terror. Jews under siege. Israel vindicated. The suspect wore a fake suicide vest—theatrical prop rather than weapon—ensuring maximum visual impact. His name, translating roughly as “Holy War the Syrian,” could hardly have been more convenient if crafted by Hollywood screenwriters for English-speaking audiences conditioned by decades of War on Terror propaganda.

Who’s really encouraging attacks like the one on a synagogue? Look to our leaders‘ (3 oktober 2025) Een artikel van jonathan Cook >> The attack in Manchester is evidence not of a rising tide of antisemitism but of something else entirely: a growing and dangerous political illiteracy being cultivated in our societies. Hier 2 passages uit het artikel >> Israel very much wants such political illiteracy – and has been actively cultivating it for decades. Israel does so by falsely describing itself, and legislating itself, as a state that supposedly represents every Jew in the world – even those Jews who despise the ethnic supremacist ideology of Zionism, which has rationalised for so long the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, apartheid rule over Palestinians, and now the genocide of Palestinians. This political illiteracy exists because it has been nurtured by Jewish public figures in Britain like Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, who constantly identifies the Jewish community with Israel and its military; who lauds the Israeli military’s crimes against Palestinians, even its slaughter of children; and demands that protests in solidarity with Palestinians be outlawed to protect Israel.

On The Manchester Synagogue Attack‘ (3 oktober 2025) Een artikel van Caitlin Johnstone >> I wish the attack on the Manchester synagogue had never happened. I also feel weird about even talking about it while dozens of Palestinians are killed today whose individual names I’ll never know and whose individual deaths I’ll never see decried in western media headlines. Last I heard it is unknown whether the synagogue attacker was motivated by Israel’s actions in Gaza, but if he was I’d say that’s one more reason to oppose Israel’s actions in Gaza. If you are too racist or apathetic to oppose a genocide on principle, then you should oppose it because it is fomenting violent extremism which could end up hurting people who look like you and live where you live

Billionaire takeover of Gaza‘ (2 oktober 2025) Een artikel van Thomas Karat >> Trump’s Riviera Plan, Blair’s GITA & Ellison’s Money. Hier de eerste passage uit dit artikel >> September 2025 marked a watershed in the world’s response to Israel’s devastating assault on Gaza. As the war dragged into its second year, former U.S. president Donald Trump unveiled a 21‑point plan ostensibly designed to end the fighting and set up a Gaza International Transitional Authority (GITA). Leaked drafts showed the authority would be chaired by Tony Blair and staffed mainly by international businesspeople and investors with minimal Palestinian representation. In parallel, investigations revealed that tech magnate Larry Ellison had become the single largest donor to the Tony Blair Institute (TBI), pledging more than £257 million and effectively underwriting the institute’s expansion newstatesman.com. Rumours circulated that Sigrid Kaag, the UN’s Senior Humanitarian and Reconstruction Coordinator for Gaza, had been offered a GITA board seat. These claims, combined with the plan’s apparent alignment with Israeli and U.S. interests, raised questions about whether a privately‑funded governance architecture was being constructed to entrench Israeli control over Gaza.

Free, Free Palestine! (27 september 2025) Feminism, Zionism, and the Death of Truth. Een artikel van Heather Brunskell-Evans, gepubliceerd op Savage Minds. Hier 2 passages uit dit artikel >> First, the letter claims that Hamas carried out “the murder, torture, rape, and kidnapping of over 1,500 people.” Regarding the figures, although Hamas was undoubtedly responsible for many deaths, the army was also responsible, as pictures of hundreds of burnt cars and shelled homes by aerial bombardment demonstrate. The army had invoked the Hannibal directive which means that the exact number killed by Hamas, rather than Israel, remains unclear. I will return to the rape claim shortly. Second, the letter describes the attack as unprovoked, creating the illusion that the conflict with the Palestinians began on 7 October. This claim masks the historical context and political realities. Israel is not a liberal democracy as we typically understand it, as we are constantly told. The state of Israel was established in 1948 as an ethno-nationalist state and has been maintained through violence and acts of terrorism against Palestinians—land theft and forced displacement, apartheid policies, sieges, and the mass incarceration of Palestinians, including children, without trial. Erasing the historical context of the 75-year violation of Palestinian human rights also obscures how the Palestinians, abandoned by the international community, have attempted unsuccessfully to break free from oppression and state-sanctioned violence, to pursue self-determination and statehood. Ook wordt aandacht besteed aan de opzettelijke femicide door het IDF op Palestijnse vrouwen en meisjes en de hypocrisie van westerse feministen die geloof blijven hechten aan de meermaals doorgeprikte leugen dat Hamas strijders op 23 oktober 2025 joodse vrouwen en meisjes zouden hebben verkracht, terwijl ze geen oog hebben voor de meermaals bewezen opzettelijke moorden, verkrachtingen en martelingen door het Israëlische leger op Palestijnse vrouwen en meisjes….

How the media tears up its own rulebook to hide Israel’s atrocities(29 september 2025) Een artikel van Jonathan Cook, waarin hij o.a. spreekt over de arrestatie van George Galloway >> The news cycle has rules every rookie journalist understands. When the media choose to break them, you can be sure it is for entirely non-journalistic reasons. Hier 2 passages uit het artikel >> But I want to highlight a less noticed element to the media’s perverse coverage of Israel. And that is the regular skewing of the traditional news cycle. Too often the media simply skip the breaking stage of a news story and head straight to the follow-up. By now, you might be able to guess why. Because a breaking story presents only the essential facts, and those facts cannot disguise the nature of Israel’s crimes.

The World Doesn’t Hate Jews, The World Hates Israel (28 september 2025) Een artikel van Caitlin Johnstone, hier 2 passages >> They’re just talking about people who oppose Israel for perpetrating a live-streamed holocaust. People don’t hate Israel because it’s full of Jewish people, they hate Israel because of the things Israel does. It is absolutely mind-boggling that to this day we’re seeing a hypermilitaristic apartheid ethnonationalist state starving and massacring civilians because of their ethnicity, bombing hospitals, assassinating journalists and medical professionals, murdering humanitarian workers, starting wars, invading neighboring countries, manipulating foreign governments, threatening activists, and actively working to crush free speech throughout the western world, all with the backing of the most powerful empire in history — and we’ve still got western institutions trying to convince us that people hate Israel because of religious prejudice.

CNN heeft moedwillig anti-Trump propaganda gemaakt om te zorgen dat hij de verkiezingen verloor: de macht van de massamedia

CNN heeft moedwillig anti-Trump propaganda gemaakt: je zal waarschijnlijk denken, nou en, blij dat we van die gek af zijn. Echter vervolgens moet je je afvragen of Joe Biden zo’n groot verschil is t.o.v. Trump. Joe Biden is één van de weinige VS presidenten die al een oorlogsmisdadiger was voor hij aantrad als president, dit vanwege zijn eerdere harde opstelling t.o.v. Rusland en zijn rol als vicepresident onder Obama, die zich als Nobelprijswinnaar voor de Vrede ontpopte als een oorlogsmisdadiger die minstens 2 illegale oorlogen is gestart en verantwoordelijk is voor bloedvergieten in landen waar hij (samen met Biden, Hillary Clinton en haar opvolger John Kerry) democratisch gekozen regeringen met bloedvergieten om zeep heeft geholpen, zoals die in Honduras en Oekraïne…..

Zo zou ik nog wel even door kunnen gaan, bijvoorbeeld over het milieubeleid, waar Obama weliswaar het akkoord van Parijs tekende, maar in werkelijkheid een heel smerig beleid voerde, zo kwam de export van steenkool onder Obama tot een absoluut hoogtepunt en gaf hij zelfs toestemming om grote kolencentrales door VS bedrijven te laten bouwen in landen als Bangladesh (zoals bij het grote natuurgebied Sundarbarns)……

Echter wat CNN heeft gedaan is eindelijk in de openbaarheid gekomen: het op zo’n manier tegenwerken van een zittende president dat deze de verkiezingen heeft verloren, althans daar zal CNN gezien de op een onbewaakt ogenblik gedane uitlatingen van een belangrijke medewerker zeker een belangrijke bijdrage aan hebben geleverd….. Uiteraard was het niet alleen CNN, immers behalve met Fox News had Trump ruzie met bijna alle grote mediaorganen in de VS.

Door de uitlatingen van die medewerker, Charlie Chester, worden meteen alle door de reguliere westerse media gepropageerde samenzweringstheorieën doorgeprikt, theorieën als zouden de beschuldigingen op de sociale media over de reguliere (massa-) media waarin werd en wordt gezegd dat deze in feite ten dienste staan van de zittende neoliberale westerse regeringen berusten op pure onzin….. Anders gezegd: deze beschuldigingen op de sociale media worden eens te meer bevestigd met het verhaal van Chester!! De reguliere media maken zich schuldig aan het maken van ‘fake news’ (nepnieuws) en andere manipulaties van de westerse bevolkingen, die in het voordeel zijn van de zittende westerse neoliberale regeringen en van de grote bedrijven, waaronder de grote wapenfabrikanten, die het grootste belang hebben bij zoveel mogelijk oorlog, of dat nu is tegen door de VS gekweekte terreurgroepen dan wel tegen landen die zich niet wensen te onderwerpen aan de VS……..

Volgens Chester is CNN wel uitgepoept als het gaat over het Coronavirus en hij stelt dat CNN zich zal richten op de klimaatverandering, niet omdat men daar inzit over die verandering, maar omdat het hip is en grote bedrijven zich op grote schaal groenwassen (greenwashing) als zou men het beste met de wereld voorhebben, terwijl men achter de schermen gewoon doorgaat op de doodlopende weg, zeg maar zoals wereldvernietigers Shell en Unilever bezig zijn >> naar buiten toe net doen alsof ze uiterst duurzaam bezig zijn, terwijl de werkelijkheid het tegenovergestelde laat zien en zoals je wellicht weet happen de reguliere westerse media maar al te graag toe en dragen deze leugen met verve uit…… (‘logisch ook’ daar die media in handen zijn van plutocraten en investeringsmaatschappijen die er alle belang bij hebben dat dit soort bedrijven het goed blijven doen op de beurs, daar ze grootaandeelhouders zijn in die bedrijven……) De journalisten van die mediaorganen kunnen dan ook al lang niet meer onafhankelijk berichten over zaken van belang, alleen als het de eigenaren goed uitkomt, of als een zaak zo open op straat ligt dat ze wel moeten meegaan in de berichtgeving om geen gebruikers te verliezen….

Gezien het voorgaande is het dan ook niet vreemd dat de journalisten en hoofdredacties van die grote mediaorganen schreeuwen om censuur op de sociale media, waarbij ze de zaken waar ze zichzelf aan beschuldigen: nepnieuws en andere manipulaties gebruiken om de lezers, kijkers en luisteraars op het ‘juiste pad’ te houden daar er tegenwoordig op de sociale media zoveel echte journalisten zijn te vinden die wel de waarheid brengen en onafhankelijk berichten……. En zoals al zo vaak op deze plek opgemerkt: censuur hoort thuis in een dictatuur en elke vorm van censuur die al is doorgevoerd, ook in ons land, is een stap verder in de richting van een dictatuur…….. (zelfs ons leger [LIMC*] scant de sociale media en houdt mensen in de gaten die zich verzetten tegen de huidige status quo of die zich verzetten tegen de belachelijke Coronamaatregelen, een uiterst gevaarlijke ontwikkeling, zoals je zal begrijpen……)

Lees het volgende artikel van Zero Hedge, zie de video en geeft het door, de macht van de grote bedrijven en de media moet gebroken worden als we een leefbare maatschappij over willen houden…….

‘We Were Creating A Story — Our Focus Was To Get Trump Out’: CNN Director Busted By Undercover Veritas Operative

by Tyler Durden
Wednesday, Apr 14, 2021 – 03:44 AM

A technical director for CNN made the grave error of sitting down with a (probably hot) undercover female journalist from Project Veritas, to whom he admitted that the network “got Trump out” with their coverage, and that he “100% believe(s) that if it wasn’t for CNN, I don’t know that Trump would have got voted out.”

“I came to CNN because I wanted to be part of that,” added the director, Charlie Chester.

He then explained how the network engaged in propaganda to ‘create a story’ about Trump vs. Biden.

“[Trump’s] hand was shaking or whatever, I think. We brought in so many medical people to tell a story that was all speculation — that he was neurologically damaged, and he was losing it. He’s unfit to — you know, whatever. We were creating a story there that we didn’t know anything about. That’s what — I think that’s propaganda,” he said, adding “We would always show shots of him [Biden] jogging and that [he’s] healthy, you know, and him in aviator shades. Like you paint him as a young geriatric.”

Transcript below (via PV):

Veritas Journalist: “I guess I have a confession. I worry about Biden and his health, I guess.”

CNN Technical Director Charlie Chester: “Your news health?”

Veritas Journalist: What? No, I said Biden, our president.”

Chester: “Oh, his health.”

Veritas Journalist: “I want to take care of him and make sure he’s okay.”

Chester: “He is definitely — the whole thing of him running during the entire — like run for the campaign. Showing him jogging is obviously deflection of his age and they’re [CNN] trying to make it like, ‘Oh, I’m healthy.’”

Veritas Journalist: “Is that what we did? I don’t know. Like what do you mean?”

Chester: “We would always show shots of him [Biden] jogging and that [he’s] healthy, you know, and him in aviator shades. Like you paint him as a young geriatric.”

Chester went on to say that COVID-19 media coverage should be coming to an end in the near future. He added that CNN is already preparing its shift in coverage to push and promote climate change fear.

“I think there’s a COVID fatigue. So, like whenever a new story comes up, they’re [CNN’s] going to latch onto it. They’ve already announced in our office that once the public is — will be open to it — we’re going to start focusing mainly on climate,” Chester said.

Chester: It’s going to be our [CNN’s] focus. Like our focus was to get Trump out of office, right? Without saying it, that’s what it was, right? So, our next thing is going to be climate change awareness.

Veritas Journalist: “What does that look like?”

Chester: “I don’t know. I’m not sure. I have a feeling that it’s going to be like, constantly showing videos of decline in ice, and weather warming up, and like the effects it’s having on the economy–”

Veritas Journalist: “Who decides that?”

Chester: “Head of the network.”

Veritas Journalist: “Who is that? Is that [Jeff] Zucker?”

Chester: “Zucker, yeah. I imagine that he’s got his council and they’ve all like, discussed, like where they think–”

Veritas Journalist: “So, that’s like the next–”

Chester: “Pandemic-like story that we’ll beat to death, but that one’s got longevity. You know what I mean? Like there’s a definitive ending to the pandemic. It’ll taper off to a point that it’s not a problem anymore. Climate change can take years, so they’ll [CNN will] probably be able to milk that quite a bit.”

Veritas Journalist: “So, climate change overload.”

Chester: “Be prepared, it’s coming. Climate change is going to be the next COVID thing for CNN.”

Veritas Journalist: “You think it’s going to be just like — a lot of like, fear for the climate?”

Chester: “Yeah. Fear sells.”

Voor meer berichten over de Sundarbarns en/of greenwashing, neem deze over in het zoekvlak rechtsboven aan deze pagina, bij het zien van de eerste berichten kan je nog kiezen voor een chronologische volgorde; e.e.a. daar de ruimte voor labels direct onder dit bericht beperkt is.

Het congres eist van de tech CEO’s een meer agressieve censuur op de sociale media, om zo macht uit te kunnen oefenen op die media

In een vijf uur durend parlementair verhoor heeft het congres in de VS (hé!) de CEO’s van de grote techbedrijven geëist dat ze een meer agressieve censuur op hun platforms (de sociale media) moeten doorvoeren, aldus Glenn Greenwald, die vervolgd met te zeggen dat het werkelijke repressieve doel van het door de Democraten gedomineerde congres is om de macht van toezicht en censuur op de politieke maatschappelijke ‘discussie’ van deze techbedrijven naar zichzelf toe te trekken………

Het congres en een paar sub-comités hebben tijdens deze 5,5 uur durende verhoor meermaals bij 3 tech CEO’s aangedrongen om meer politiek inhoud te censureren op hun platforms, waarbij de 3 werden gedreigd met ‘wettelijke vergelding’ als ze niet voldoen aan deze eis…… Je begrijpt dat e.e.a. het gevolg is van de bestorming van het Capitol op 6 januari jl., waarvoor deze 3 CEO’s tijdens het verhoor geen verantwoording op zich wensten te nemen…… Het verhoor was volgens Greenwald een verbluffende weergave van de groeiende autoritaire poging van het congres om de macht die deze techbedrijven van de sociale media hebben op het politieke debat naar zichzelf toe te trekken voor de eigen politieke belangen en doelen….. Kortom men wil de sociale media zoals Facebook, Twitter en Google controleren uit eigenbelang……

De Democratische kwaadaardigheid Lizzie Fletcher suggereerde dat de overheid een lijst met organisaties moet opstellen, die het zelf aanmerkt als binnenlandse terreurorganisatie en waar de genoemde techbedrijven de groepen op die lijst zouden moeten zien als terreurorganisaties ISIS en Al Qaida, ofwel de berichten van die organisaties verwijderen en accounts opheffen….. Let wel: het gaat daarbij niet alleen om rechts radicale of beter gezegd fascistische groepen, die verantwoordelijk zijn voor de bestorming van het Capitol, maar ook om organisaties als Antifa, Black Lives Matter (BLM), vredesgroeperingen en milieuorganisaties…… (in Groot-Brittannië vinden al een aantal dagen demonstraties plaats tegen de wil van politie en politici om demonstraties te kunnen verbieden, ofwel ook daar wil men diverse actiegroepen monddood maken….)

Dit is de derde keer binnen 5 maanden dat men in de VS deze CEO’s ter verantwoording riep over de politieke uitingen op hun platforms; moet je nagaan: e.e.a. terwijl die 3 platforms al censuur uitoefenen op hun platforms en dat op schandelijke hoogte, zelfs in ons land worden berichten op die platforms ontoegankelijk gemaakt, zoals Twitter berichten van de politiek activist Sarah Wilkinson over Israëlische agressie tegen Palestijnen, deze zijn meermaals verwijderd van haar platform, of wat dacht je van de censuur die Google en YouTube uitoefenen op berichten en video’s van Brasscheck TV…….

Overigens verwijderden Facebook en Twitter al een enorm aantal accounts van Palestijnen die terecht kritiek hadden op het bloedige optreden van Israël, zonder dat ze antisemitische bewoordingen gebruikten…… Israël is al een paar jaar bezig om de westerse landen zover te krijgen dat elke kritiek op Israël moet worden gezien als antisemitisme, de reguliere westerse media dragen daar een flinke steen aan bij, zo kostte dit Jeremy Corbyn de laatste landelijke verkiezingen in Groot-Brittannië, ook de media in ons land deden daar vol vuur aan mee, terwijl Crobyn juist z’n leven lang al een groot tegenstander is van fascisme en antisemitisme……

Neem ook de censuur op foto’s en video’s op het internet waarin geweld tegen dieren in de intensieve veehouderij (en daarmee bedoel ik de hele keten, dus ook de slachthuizen) worden gecensureerd, oké je kan na nog een keer klikken de meeste video’s nog wel zien, maar foto’s worden telkens weer verwijderd….. De nieuwste ‘vinding’ op censuurgebied is dat je moet bewijzen dat je volwassen bent en dat middels het tonen van een creditcard of je identiteitsbewijs, dan kan het nog 3 dagen duren vioor de video wordt vrijgegeven, ook al zit je al meer dan 18 jaar op de sociale media……. Je kan er donder op zeggen dat de machtige landbouwlobby hier aan de touwtjes trekt…… Zonder probleem kan die lobby smerige misleiding middels video’s en berichten op de sociale media plaatsen, daar wordt niet eens gekeken of hier sprake is van misleiding en manipulatie, terwijl daar geen sprake van is bij degenen die de mensheid de waarheid over deze doodsindustrie willen laten zien…….

Vergeet niet dat deze doodsindustrie de klimaatverandering op een gigantische manier aanjaagt, dit middels de uitstoot van CO2 en methaangas (een broeikasgas dat meer dan 80 keer zo sterk is dan CO2), terwijl de landbouw en dan m.n. de intensieve veehouderij in de EU meer CO2 uitstoot dan de totale auto-uitstoot aan CO2 in datzelfde gebied…… Om over het platbranden van oerwoud t.b.v. de sojateelt voor die veehouderij nog maar te zwijgen, ook daarbij komen enorme hoeveelheden CO2 en methaangas vrij, terwijl die enorme bosbranden zelf de klimaatverandering al verder aanjagen……

Het is niet de taak van de sociale media om censuur uit te oefenen, daar zijn zij niet voor in het leven geroepen, immers zij hebben te zorgen dat hun platforms functioneren voor de doorgave van berichten en meningen, hoe discutabel deze ook kunnen zijn, op z’n best mogen ze pas ingrijpen als er tot geweld wordt opgeroepen…… Het is zelfs niet de taak van politici in een zogenaamde democratie om op te roepen tot censuur, immers censuur hoort thuis in een dictatuur…… En tot slot: het is al helemaal niet de taak van de reguliere media om de politiek op te roepen censuur uit te oefenen op de sociale media, wat ze wel doen en dat bij herhaling…… Uiteraard om dat steeds meer mensen deze media volkomen terecht wantrouwen, wegens het brengen van nepnieuws (fake news) en het steunen van de inhumane neoliberale status quo die in het belang is van de eigenaren van die media, dan wel voor de subsidie gevers aan die media, zoals die voor de zogenaamd onafhankelijke zendgemachtigden als de NOS en de NTR (of neem de BBC in Groot-Brittannië)….. Deze zendgemachtigden zijn afhankelijk van de zittende regering (zoals gezegd: voor subsidie) en proberen daarom zoveel mogelijk deze opvolgende regeringen uit de wind te houden, zie hun berichtgeving over de deelname van Nederland aan de illegale door de VS begonnen oorlogen…..

Je kan er dan ook de klok op gelijkzetten dat de schreeuw om censuur in de VS ook in de EU en daarom ook in ons land steeds sterker te horen zal zijn….. Neem hare D66 kwaadaardigheid Ollongren die durfde te zeggen dat Rusland hier referenda en verkiezingen manipuleert, zonder daar ook maar 1 steekhoudend bewijs voor te leveren….. Reken maar dat ze ook voorstander is van censuur op het internet, zogenaamd tegen Russische beïnvloeding, terwijl ze uiteraard ook enorm de pest heeft aan kritiek op haar smerige politiek handelen……..

Congress, in a Five-Hour Hearing, Demands Tech CEOs Censor the Internet Even More Aggressively

The repressive objective of the Democratic-controlled Congress is to transfer the power to police and censor political discourse from these tech giants to themselves.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Google/Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey testify before the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Mar. 25, 2021

Over the course of five-plus hours on Thursday, a House Committee along with two subcommittees badgered three tech CEOs, repeatedly demanding that they censor more political content from their platforms and vowing legislative retaliation if they fail to comply. The hearing — convened by the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s Chair Rep. Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ), and the two Chairs of its Subcommittees, Mike Doyle (D-PA) and Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) — was one of the most stunning displays of the growing authoritarian effort in Congress to commandeer the control which these companies wield over political discourse for their own political interests and purposes.

As I noted when I reported last month on the scheduling of this hearing, this was “the third time in less than five months that the U.S. Congress has summoned the CEOs of social media companies to appear before them with the explicit intent to pressure and coerce them to censor more content from their platforms.” The bulk of Thursday’s lengthy hearing consisted of one Democratic member after the next complaining that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Google/Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey have failed in their duties to censor political voices and ideological content that these elected officials regard as adversarial or harmful, accompanied by threats that legislative punishment (including possible revocation of Section 230 immunity) is imminent in order to force compliance (Section 230 is the provision of the 1996 Communications Decency Act that shields internet companies from liability for content posted by their users).

Republican members largely confined their grievances to the opposite concern: that these social media giants were excessively silencing conservative voices in order to promote a liberal political agenda (that complaint is only partially true: a good amount of online censorship, like growing law enforcement domestic monitoring generally, focuses on all anti-establishment ideologies, not just the right-wing variant). This editorial censoring, many Republicans insisted, rendered the tech companies’ Section 230 immunity obsolete, since they are now acting as publishers rather than mere neutral transmitters of information. Some Republicans did join with Democrats in demanding greater censorship, though typically in the name of protecting children from mental health disorders and predators rather than ideological conformity.

As they have done in prior hearings, both Zuckerberg and Pichai spoke like the super-scripted, programmed automatons that they are, eager to please their Congressional overseers (though they did periodically issue what should have been unnecessary warnings that excessive “content moderation” can cripple free political discourse). Dorsey, by contrast, seemed at the end of his line of patience and tolerance for vapid, moronic censorship demands, and — sitting in a kitchen in front of a pile of plates and glasses — he, refreshingly, barely bothered to hide that indifference. At one point, he flatly stated in response to demands that Twitter do more to remove “disinformation”: “I don’t think we should be the arbiters of truth and I don’t think the government should be either.”

Zuckerberg in particular has minimal capacity to communicate the way human beings naturally do. The Facebook CEO was obviously instructed by a team of public speaking consultants that it is customary to address members of the Committee as “Congressman” or “Congresswoman.” He thus began literally every answer he gave — even in rapid back and forth questions — with that word. He just refused to move his mouth without doing that — for five hours (though, in fairness, the questioning of Zuckerberg was often absurd and unreasonable). His brain permits no discretion to deviate from his script no matter how appropriate. For every question directed to him, he paused for several seconds, had his internal algorithms search for the relevant place in the metaphorical cassette inserted in a hidden box in his back, uttered the word “Congressman” or “Congresswoman,” stopped for several more seconds to search for the next applicable spot in the spine-cassette, and then proceeded unblinkingly to recite the words slowly transmitted into his neurons. One could practically see the gears in his head painfully churning as the cassette rewound or fast-forwarded. This tortuous ritual likely consumed roughly thirty percent of the hearing time. I’ve never seen members of Congress from across the ideological spectrum so united as they were by visceral contempt for Zuckerberg’s non-human comportment:

But it is vital not to lose sight of how truly despotic hearings like this are. It is easy to overlook because we have become so accustomed to political leaders successfully demanding that social media companies censor the internet in accordance with their whims. Recall that Parler, at the time it was the most-downloaded app in the country, was removed in January from the Apple and Google Play Stores and then denied internet service by Amazon, only after two very prominent Democratic House members publicly demanded this. At the last pro-censorship hearing convened by Congress, Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) explicitly declared that the Democrats’ grievance is not that these companies are censoring too much but rather not enough. One Democrat after the next at Thursday’s hearing described all the content on the internet they want gone: or else. Many of them said this explicitly.

At one point toward the end of the hearing, Rep. Lizzie Fletcher (D-TX), in the context of the January 6 riot, actually suggested that the government should create a list of organizations they unilaterally deem to be “domestic terror organization” and then provide it tech companies as guidance for what discussions they should “track and remove”: in other words, treat these groups the same was as ISIS and Al Qaeda.

Words cannot convey how chilling and authoritarian this all is: watching government officials, hour after hour, demand censorship of political speech and threaten punishment for failures to obey. As I detailed last month, the U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that the state violates the First Amendment’s free speech guarantee when they coerce private actors to censor for them — exactly the tyrannical goal to which these hearings are singularly devoted.

There are genuine problems posed by Silicon Valley monopoly power. Monopolies are a threat to both political freedom and competition, which is why economists of most ideological persuasions have long urged the need to prevent them. There is some encouraging legislation pending in Congress with bipartisan support (including in the House Antitrust Subcommittee before which I testified several weeks ago) that would make meaningful and productive strides toward diluting the unaccountable and undemocratic power these monopolies wield over our political and cultural lives. If these hearings were about substantively considering those antitrust measures, they would be meritorious.

But that is hard and difficult work and that is not what these hearings are about. They want the worst of all worlds: to maintain Silicon Valley monopoly power but transfer the immense, menacing power to police our discourse from those companies into the hands of the Democratic-controlled Congress and Executive Branch.

And as I have repeatedly documented, it is not just Democratic politicians agitating for greater political censorship but also their liberal journalistic allies, who cannot tolerate that there may be any places on the internet that they cannot control. That is the petty wannabe-despot mentality that has driven them to police the “unfettered” discussions on the relatively new conversation app Clubhouse, and escalate their attempts to have writers they disliked removed from Substack. Just today, The New York Times warns, on its front page, that there are “unfiltered” discussions taking place on Google-enabled podcasts:

New York Times front page, Mar. 26, 2021

We are taught from childhood that a defining hallmark of repressive regimes is that political officials wield power to silence ideas and people they dislike, and that, conversely, what makes the U.S. a “free” society is the guarantee that American leaders are barred from doing so. It is impossible to reconcile that claim with what happened in that House hearing room over the course of five hours on Thursday.

Twitter komt met een nieuwe vorm van censuur: ‘Birdwatch’, naar voorbeeld van Wikipedia

Gisteren werd bekendgemaakt dat Twitter een nieuwe vorm van censuur zal introduceren, dit sociaal media platform voert als Facebook en YouTube al geruime tijd censuur uit ook in ons land…… Voor de nieuwe manier waarop Twitter censuur zal uitoefenen heeft het naar Wikipedia gekeken, waar men berichten bekijkt en controleert op ‘misinformatie’ en ‘misleidende’ informatie verwijdert. Eén en ander op basis van een door de gemeenschap van gebruikers gecontroleerde inhoud en dat (nogmaals) vergeleken met de manier waarop Wikipedia bijdragen op inhoud controleert. Bij Twitter noemt men deze vorm van censuur ‘Birdwatch….’

Bij Wikipedia heeft e.e.a geleid tot een manier van behandeling van informatie die wordt gegeven over een onderwerp zoals oorlog en vrede, deze wordt weergegeven zoals die door de westerse machthebbers graag wordt gezien, ofwel daar wordt juist misinformatie en nepnieuws (fake news) gebruikt als leidend in artikelen die op zoekopdrachten worden weergegeven…… Anders gezegd: Wikipedia is op heel veel vlakken al lang niet meer te vertrouwen, zoals je ook regelmatig op dit blog hebt kunnen lezen.

Het is te zot voor woorden dat in feite platforms bedoeld voor het delen van informatie door gebruikers zich beschuldigen aan censuur en dat op een manier zoals die wordt gebruikt in dictaturen, ofwel de propaganda van zo’n dictatuur is leidend en dat betekent in het westen dat de neoliberale ideologie leidend is in artikelen over de huidige maatschappij en alles wat daarbij komt zoals het al eerder aangehaalde voorbeeld van oorlog en vrede….. Alsof je de eerste beste slechte journalist van de Telegraaf censuur laat uitvoeren….. Het is zoals al zo vaak gezegd geen taak van sociale media platforms om censuur uit te oefenen op wat gebruikers te zeggen hebben, zij dienen alleen als doorgeefluik!!

Na Donald Trump roepen nu zelfs de zogenaamde linkse krachten in de Democratische Partij (en een aantal buiten die partij) in de VS om censuur op de sociale media, zonder dat ze beseffen dat ze zelf de gevolgen van die censuur over zich heen zullen krijgen, door blokkering van de accounts die ze op die sociale media gebruiken…….. Kritiek geuit op de sociale media t.a.v. een volgende illegale oorlog van de VS? Grote kans dat dit binnen afzienbare tijd zal worden ‘weggecensureerd’ op de sociale media……. Terwijl er op de sociale media volop propaganda wordt gemaakt voor het voeren van oorlogen….. (over het weren van geweld op die media gesproken…..)

Als het zo doorgaat is er van het internet zoals wij dit kennen straks niet veel meer over en zal je voor alternatieve nieuwsgaring naar het dark web moeten…… (iets wat de reguliere westerse media en politici het liefst zo snel mogelijk voor elkaar willen krijgen, men schreeuwt erom bij wijze van spreken….) Voorts kan er niet genoeg op worden gehamerd dat censuur alleen thuishoort in een dictatuur als een politiestaat, wat de VS in feite al is….

Overigens een schandaal dat Twitter het woord birdwatch gebruikt, een jaarlijks werkerend gebeuren waarbij burgers het aantal vogels tellen in hun tuin of op hun balkon en niet bedoeld om burgers te laten klikken over wat hen niet welgevallig is….. (en reken maar dat de zogenaamde journalisten van de reguliere westerse media vooraan staan om zaken aan te geven, terwijl ze zichzelf keer op keer beschuldigen aan het brengen van nepnieuws, neem alleen al de berichtgeving van deze ‘journalisten’ over de illegale oorlogen die de VS deze eeuw is begonnen…….)

CaitlinJohnstone heeft een artikel geschreven over deze zaak, waarin ze wat dieper ingaat op de stof en waarschuwt voor de desastreuze gevolgen van censuur en waarbij ze volkomen terecht stelt dat degenen die de informatie controleren en beheersen, in feite de wereld beheersen (of: wie het nieuws beheerst, beheerst de wereld……):

Twitter Rolls Out New Wikipedia-Like Program To Narrative Manage Tweets

by Caitlin Johnstone

Twitter has announced that it will be employing “a new community-driven approach to help address misleading information” called Birdwatch which news media are comparing to the model of content moderation used by Wikipedia.

“Twitter unveiled a feature Monday meant to bolster its efforts to combat misinformation and disinformation by tapping users in a fashion similar to Wikipedia to flag potentially misleading tweets,” reports NBC. “The new system allows users to discuss and provide context to tweets they believe are misleading or false. The project, titled Birdwatch, is a standalone section of Twitter that will at first only be available to a small set of users, largely on a first-come, first-served basis.”

Twitter launches Birdwatch, a Wikipedia-style approach to fight misinformation http://on.forbes.com/6015HbRH1 by @rachsandl


“We know there are a number of challenges toward building a community-driven system like this — from making it resistant to manipulation attempts to ensuring it isn’t dominated by a simple majority or biased based on its distribution of contributors,” Twitter’s official statement says. “We’ll be focused on these things throughout the pilot.”

Such claims provide little reassurance for anyone who’s familiar with the establishment narrative control operations which take place on Wikipedia in exactly that way. The Grayzone‘s Ben Norton did a great two-part report last year on the way concerted, aggressive efforts by a small group of shady-looking Wikipedia editors has succeeded in dominating the site’s articles which relate to western imperialist agendas and the reporters who support and oppose those agendas, including getting outlets like WikiLeaks and The Grayzone banned from use as sources despite their having no history of false reports.

“The internet encyclopedia has become a deeply undemocratic platform, dominated by Western state-backed actors and corporate public relations flacks, easily manipulated by powerful forces,” wrote Norton. “And it is run by figures who often represent these same elite interests, or align with their regime-change politics.”

Wikipedia is a scam. It’s a propaganda vehicle for intelligence agencies, govts, corporations, and PR flacks

This extremely shady “user” Philip Cross edits all day every day, 7 am to 11 pm, posting nonstop pro-war propaganda — including almost every edit on @MaxBlumenthal‘s page pic.twitter.com/9ZOof5GxwC

Ben Norton (@BenjaminNorton) February 12, 2020

Since 2018 alternative media voices like The Canary and Media Lens have been reporting on the frenetic editing behavior of a Wikipedia account by the name of “Philip Cross” which works an inhuman number of hours without ever taking a day off, largely targeting the accounts of those who criticize the western empire and voice skepticism of its dominant narratives.

This kind of aggressive narrative management campaign is why when you look at any Wikipedia article about an internationally disputed issue on the world stage, say for example the article about the alleged chemical weapons attack in Douma, Syria, you’ll see the word “Bellingcat” no fewer than 20 times as of this writing and a heavy bias toward the western narrative that the Syrian government was responsible for the attack, but won’t find information about the gaping plot holes in the story like the ones documented in this excellent article by The Nation‘s Aaron Maté, nor will you see any links back to this article.

So it’s already established that this sort of “community-driven approach” to information control can easily be exploited by well-funded groups which have a vested interest in doing so. The fact that Twitter has already been functioning as a propaganda arm of the US government with regard to its willingness to deplatform accounts from imperialism-targeted nations like Iran, Venezuela, Russia and China means we can only expect this bias to go one way with regard to imperialist narrative management.

Today we’re introducing @Birdwatch, a community-driven approach to addressing misleading information. And we want your help. (1/3) pic.twitter.com/aYJILZ7iKB

Twitter Support (@TwitterSupport) January 25, 2021

The fact that this “Birdwatch” program will most likely be used to determine the dominant narrative on disputed events like potential false flags and what’s happening in nations like China and Syria means it’s obnoxious that Twitter’s post promoting it features an imaginary account saying “Whales are not real! They’re robots funded by the government to watch us!!” As though that sort of indisputable falsehood is the sort of post this program will actually be targeting rather than people expressing doubts about things like Russian hackers and the White Helmets.

Twitter chose to use “whales aren’t real” as its example of the “misinformation” its new program will be “fighting” not because it is cute and funny, but because using any of the actual narratives it will wind up manipulating would have set off people’s alarm bells. Imagine the reaction if they’d chosen something like Covid vaccinations for example, even though this could very well end up being one of the issues Birdwatch winds up exercising narrative control over.

Whoever controls the narrative controls the world. That’s all you’re ever seeing in all the efforts to manage information via censorship, algorithm changes, “fact” checking, Russian propaganda panic, etc. Humans are story-driven animals, so if you control the stories you control the humans.

The US-centralized oligarchic empire will be doing a lot of evil things in the near future, and it will be necessary to control the narrative about those things. That’s all we’re really looking at here.

Groeiend kwaad, al slapend zien we niet wat er werkelijk gebeurt, ofwel The Matrix in afgezwakte vorm

Tyler Durden heeft op Zero Hedge een artikel geplaatst van John Whitehead, eerder gepubliceerd op de site van The Rutherford Institute.
In het artikel schrijft Whitehead over de films van John Carpenter, waar hij zijn schrijven m.n. baseert op de film ‘They Live’, een film van meer dan 30 jaar geleden. Hoewel 30 jaar oud, ziet Whitehead in de film opvallende overeenkomsten met de huidige politiestaat die men VS pleegt te noemen. Met gebruik van media als de tv prent men de bevolking zaken in als gehoorzaam te zijn en bang te zijn, dit door boodschappen die je normaal niet ziet, maar die de hoofdpersoon met een speciale bril wel kan zien. Voorts heeft de tv dan ook nog het effect op mensen hun zorgen even opzij te zetten, iets dat zonder meer gebeurt met de argeloze kijker….

Men jaagt de mens angst aan voor ‘het onbekende’, ofwel voor bijvoorbeeld terroristen in een ver land, aanvallen op publiek door éénlingen, of zelfs angst voor buren die men niet kent. Alles gevoed met series, films en programma’s over daadwerkelijke misdaad, zoals Opsporing Verzocht (fopsnorren verkocht*). Let wel het gaat hier om de bevolking van de VS, de manier waarop de maatschappij daar is ingericht en hoe de reguliere massamedia worden beheerst door plutocraten en grote investeringsmaatschappijen, hoe Hollywood middels films en series het volk angst aanjaagt middels wat je niet anders kan zien dan een vorm van hersenspoelen…..

De VS is maar al te vaak het slachtoffer in deze films en series, terwijl de VS een paar keer is aangevallen: Pearl Harbour, in feite niet behorend tot de VS en een aanval die voorkomen had kunnen worden, maar die men expres liet gebeuren zodat de VS zich in WOII kon mengen….. Verder uiteraard 9/11, waarvan intussen meer dan duidelijk is dat deze terroristische aanslagen werden georganiseerd en geregisseerd door de VS zelf…. Niet moeilijk te bedenken dat we in Nederland en de rest van het westen dezelfde kant opgaan, zie alleen al al het fake news en manipulaties in onze reguliere media, voorafgaand en tijdens de illegale oorlogen die de VS deze eeuw begon, waarbij meer dan 2,5 miljoen mensen zijn omgekomen, ofwel feitelijk vermoord door de VS en haar hielenlikkende NAVO-partners, waaronder Nederland (en ja daar betalen we met z’n allen aan mee…)…..

Hoe is het mogelijk dat er zoveel films en series zijn die zogenaamd aantonen dat het westen slachtoffer is van terreur en het onbekende, zodat het terecht lijkt dat het westen met grootschalige terreur ingrijpt in landen waar we niets, maar dan ook helemaal niets te zoeken hebben…??? De werkelijkheid is volkomen omgedraaid, de VS en haar NAVO-partners gebruiken grootschalige terreur in het Midden-Oosten, Afrika en Latijns-Amerika (sinds kort ook met NAVO troepen uit Europa), deze terreur roept logischerwijs agressie op bij de nabestaanden van het enorme aantal slachtoffers… Hoe meer van deze films en series vertoond worden, hoe meer de mens angst krijgt voor het bestaan en achter de ongebreidelde westerse agressie gaat staan, terwijl geen hond nog ziet dat de terreur die we zelf uitoefenen van een grootte is, waarbij aanslagen in het westen in het niet vallen…… Gevolg van die westerse terreur: het kweken van aanslagen in het westen en enorme vluchtelingenstromen (waar dan schunnig genoeg zelfs angst wordt gekweekt voor die vluchtelingen)……

Kortom we laten ons leven en beseffen niet dat e.e.a. zich voltrekt over ons bestaan, we dromen vrij te zijn, maar zijn dat in werkelijkheid allesbehalve…..

Carpenter is in zijn films altijd sterk anti-autoritair en hij laat de kijker zien hoe de mens in feite slaapt terwijl onzichtbare machten zich het leven van de slapenden toe-eigenen, dit geldt des te meer voor de film ‘They Live’.

Vanmorgen hoorde ik dat een geschifte generaal het internet van Nederland wil bewaken, lees: zuiveren van kritiek, waarvoor hij dan het sprookje aanhaalt dat ‘men’ (lees: Rusland) ons manipuleert via de sociale media….. Als iets dergelijks doorgang zou vinden, kunnen we het laatste restje echt objectieve journalistiek vaarwel zeggen en worden we alleen nog volgepropt met neoliberale leugens…….

Lees het volgende uitstekende artikel en de rillingen zullen je over de rug lopen (ach ja, het is het hele jaar Halloween):
They Live, We Sleep: Beware The Growing Evil In Our Midst
Wed, 10/30/2019 – 00:05

You see them on the street. You watch them on TV. You might even vote for one this fall. You think they’re people just like you. You’re wrong. Dead wrong.”

– They Live

We’re living in two worlds, you and I.
There’s the world we see (or are made to see) and then there’s the one we sense (and occasionally catch a glimpse of), the latter of which is a far cry from the propaganda-driven reality manufactured by the government and its corporate sponsors, including the media.
Indeed, what most Americans perceive as life in America—privileged, progressive and free—is a far cry from reality, where economic inequality is growing, real agendas and real power are buried beneath layers of Orwellian doublespeak and corporate obfuscation, and “freedom,” such that it is, is meted out in small, legalistic doses by militarized police armed to the teeth.

All is not as it seems.

This is the premise of John Carpenter’s film They Live, which was released more than 30 years ago, and remains unnervingly, chillingly appropriate for our modern age.
Best known for his horror film Halloween, which assumes that there is a form of evil so dark that it can’t be killed, Carpenter’s larger body of work is infused with a strong anti-authoritarian, anti-establishment, laconic bent that speaks to the filmmaker’s concerns about the unraveling of our society, particularly our government.

Time and again, Carpenter portrays the government working against its own citizens, a populace out of touch with reality, technology run amok, and a future more horrific than any horror film.

In Escape from New York, Carpenter presents fascism as the future of America.

In The Thing, a remake of the 1951 sci-fi classic of the same name, Carpenter presupposes that increasingly we are all becoming dehumanized.

In Christine, the film adaptation of Stephen King’s novel about a demon-possessed car, technology exhibits a will and consciousness of its own and goes on a murderous rampage.

In In the Mouth of Madness, Carpenter notes that evil grows when people lose “the ability to know the difference between reality and fantasy.”

And then there is Carpenter’s They Live, in which two migrant workers discover that the world is not as it seems. In fact, the population is actually being controlled and exploited by aliens working in partnership with an oligarchic elite. All the while, the populace—blissfully unaware of the real agenda at work in their lives—has been lulled into complacency, indoctrinated into compliance, bombarded with media distractions, and hypnotized by subliminal messages beamed out of television and various electronic devices, billboards and the like.

It is only when homeless drifter John Nada (played to the hilt by the late Roddy Piper) discovers a pair of doctored sunglasses—Hoffman lenses—that Nada sees what lies beneath the elite’s fabricated reality: control and bondage.

When viewed through the lens of truth, the elite, who appear human until stripped of their disguises, are shown to be monsters who have enslaved the citizenry in order to prey on them.

Likewise, billboards blare out hidden, authoritative messages: a bikini-clad woman in one ad is actually ordering viewers to “MARRY AND REPRODUCE.” Magazine racks scream “CONSUME” and “OBEY.” A wad of dollar bills in a vendor’s hand proclaims, “THIS IS YOUR GOD.”

When viewed through Nada’s Hoffman lenses, some of the other hidden messages being drummed into the people’s subconscious include: NO INDEPENDENT THOUGHT, CONFORM, SUBMIT, STAY ASLEEP, BUY, WATCH TV, NO IMAGINATION, and DO NOT QUESTION AUTHORITY.
This indoctrination campaign engineered by the elite in They Live is painfully familiar to anyone who has studied the decline of American culture.

A citizenry that does not think for themselves, obeys without question, is submissive, does not challenge authority, does not think outside the box, and is content to sit back and be entertained is a citizenry that can be easily controlled.
In this way, the subtle message of They Live provides an apt analogy of our own distorted vision of life in the American police state, what philosopher Slavoj Žižek refers to as dictatorship in democracy, “the invisible order which sustains your apparent freedom.”

We’re being fed a series of carefully contrived fictions that bear no resemblance to reality.
The powers-that-be want us to feel threatened by forces beyond our control (terrorists, shooters, bombers).

They want us afraid and dependent on the government and its militarized armies for our safety and well-being.

They want us distrustful of each other, divided by our prejudices, and at each other’s throats.

Most of all, they want us to continue to march in lockstep with their dictates.

Tune out the government’s attempts to distract, divert and befuddle us and tune into what’s really going on in this country, and you’ll run headlong into an unmistakable, unpalatable truth: the moneyed elite who rule us view us as expendable resources to be used, abused and discarded.
In fact, a study conducted by Princeton and Northwestern University concluded that the U.S. government does not represent the majority of American citizens. Instead, the study found that the government is ruled by the rich and powerful, or the so-called “economic elite.” Moreover, the researchers concluded that policies enacted by this governmental elite nearly always favor special interests and lobbying groups.

In other words, we are being ruled by an oligarchy disguised as a democracy, and arguably on our way towards fascism—a form of government where private corporate interests rule, money calls the shots, and the people are seen as mere subjects to be controlled.

Not only do you have to be rich—or beholden to the rich—to get elected these days, but getting elected is also a surefire way to get rich. As CBS News reports, “Once in office, members of Congress enjoy access to connections and information they can use to increase their wealth, in ways that are unparalleled in the private sector. And once politicians leave office, their connections allow them to profit even further.”

In denouncing this blatant corruption of America’s political system, former president Jimmy Carter blasted the process of getting elected—to the White House, governor’s mansion, Congress or state legislatures—as “unlimited political bribery… a subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect, and sometimes get, favors for themselves after the election is over.”

Rest assured that when and if fascism finally takes hold in America, the basic forms of government will remain: Fascism will appear to be friendly. The legislators will be in session.
There will be elections, and the news media will continue to cover the entertainment and political trivia. Consent of the governed, however, will no longer apply. Actual control will have finally passed to the oligarchic elite controlling the government behind the scenes.
Sound familiar?
Clearly, we are now ruled by an oligarchic elite of governmental and corporate interests.
We have moved into “corporatism” (favored by Benito Mussolini), which is a halfway point on the road to full-blown fascism.

Corporatism is where the few moneyed interests—not elected by the citizenry—rule over the many. In this way, it is not a democracy or a republican form of government, which is what the American government was established to be. It is a top-down form of government and one which has a terrifying history typified by the developments that occurred in totalitarian regimes of the past: police states where everyone is watched and spied on, rounded up for minor infractions by government agents, placed under police control, and placed in detention (a.k.a. concentration) camps.
For the final hammer of fascism to fall, it will require the most crucial ingredient: the majority of the people will have to agree that it’s not only expedient but necessary.
But why would a people agree to such an oppressive regime?

The answer is the same in every age: fear.

Fear is the method most often used by politicians to increase the power of government. And, as most social commentators recognize, an atmosphere of fear permeates modern America: fear of terrorism, fear of the police, fear of our neighbors and so on.
The propaganda of fear has been used quite effectively by those who want to gain control, and it is working on the American populace.
Despite the fact that we are 17,600 times more likely to die from heart disease than from a terrorist attack; 11,000 times more likely to die from an airplane accident than from a terrorist plot involving an airplane; 1,048 times more likely to die from a car accident than a terrorist attack, and 8 times more likely to be killed by a police officer than by a terrorist , we have handed over control of our lives to government officials who treat us as a means to an end—the source of money and power.

As the Bearded Man in They Live warns,They are dismantling the sleeping middle class.
More and more people are becoming poor. We are their cattle. We are being bred for slavery.”

In this regard, we’re not so different from the oppressed citizens in They Live.

From the moment we are born until we die, we are indoctrinated into believing that those who rule us do it for our own good. The truth is far different.
Despite the truth staring us in the face, we have allowed ourselves to become fearful, controlled, pacified zombies.
We live in a perpetual state of denial, insulated from the painful reality of the American police state by wall-to-wall entertainment news and screen devices.

Most everyone keeps their heads down these days while staring zombie-like into an electronic screen, even when they’re crossing the street. Families sit in restaurants with their heads down, separated by their screen devices and unaware of what’s going on around them. Young people especially seem dominated by the devices they hold in their hands, oblivious to the fact that they can simply push a button, turn the thing off and walk away.
Indeed, there is no larger group activity than that connected with those who watch screens—that is, television, lap tops, personal computers, cell phones and so on. In fact, a Nielsen study reports that American screen viewing is at an all-time high. For example, the average American watches approximately 151 hours of television per month.

The question, of course, is what effect does such screen consumption have on one’s mind?

Psychologically it is similar to drug addiction. Researchers found that “almost immediately after turning on the TV, subjects reported feeling more relaxed, and because this occurs so quickly and the tension returns so rapidly after the TV is turned off, people are conditioned to associate TV viewing with a lack of tension.” Research also shows that regardless of the programming, viewers’ brain waves slow down, thus transforming them into a more passive, nonresistant state.

Historically, television has been used by those in authority to quiet discontent and pacify disruptive people. “Faced with severe overcrowding and limited budgets for rehabilitation and counseling, more and more prison officials are using TV to keep inmates quiet,” according to Newsweek.

Given that the majority of what Americans watch on television is provided through channels controlled by six mega corporations, what we watch is now controlled by a corporate elite and, if that elite needs to foster a particular viewpoint or pacify its viewers, it can do so on a large scale.
If we’re watching, we’re not doing.

The powers-that-be understand this. As television journalist Edward R. Murrow warned in a 1958 speech:

We are currently wealthy, fat, comfortable and complacent. We have currently a built-in allergy to unpleasant or disturbing information. Our mass media reflect this. But unless we get up off our fat surpluses and recognize that television in the main is being used to distract, delude, amuse, and insulate us, then television and those who finance it, those who look at it, and those who work at it, may see a totally different picture too late.

This brings me back to They Live, in which the real zombies are not the aliens calling the shots but the populace who are content to remain controlled.

When all is said and done, the world of They Live is not so different from our own. As one of the characters points out, “The poor and the underclass are growing. Racial justice and human rights are nonexistent. They have created a repressive society and we are their unwitting accomplices.
Their intention to rule rests with the annihilation of consciousness. We have been lulled into a trance. They have made us indifferent to ourselves, to others. We are focused only on our own gain.”

We, too, are focused only on our own pleasures, prejudices and gains. Our poor and underclasses are also growing. Racial injustice is growing. Human rights is nearly nonexistent. We too have been lulled into a trance, indifferent to others.
Oblivious to what lies ahead, we’ve been manipulated into believing that if we continue to consume, obey, and have faith, things will work out. But that’s never been true of emerging regimes. And by the time we feel the hammer coming down upon us, it will be too late.

So where does that leave us?
The characters who populate Carpenter’s films provide some insight.
Underneath their machismo, they still believe in the ideals of liberty and equal opportunity. Their beliefs place them in constant opposition with the law and the establishment, but they are nonetheless freedom fighters.
When, for example, John Nada destroys the alien hyno-transmitter in They Live, he restores hope by delivering America a wake-up call for freedom.
That’s the key right there: we need to wake up.

Stop allowing yourselves to be easily distracted by pointless political spectacles and pay attention to what’s really going on in the country.
The real battle for control of this nation is not being waged between Republicans and Democrats in the ballot box.
As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, the real battle for control of this nation is taking place on roadsides, in police cars, on witness stands, over phone lines, in government offices, in corporate offices, in public school hallways and classrooms, in parks and city council meetings, and in towns and cities across this country.

The real battle between freedom and tyranny is taking place right in front of our eyes, if we would only open them.

All the trappings of the American police state are now in plain sight.

Wake up, America.

If they live (the tyrants, the oppressors, the invaders, the overlords), it is only because “we the people” sleep.

Facebook censuur gestuurd door het westers militair-industrieel complex en de NAVO in het bijzonder……….

Derrick Broze betoogt in het artikel dat hieronder is opgenomen, dat Facebooks censuur wordt
gestuurd door het westers militair-industrieel complex. Zo is de zogenaamd wetenschappelijke site ‘PropOr Not’, dat zich in de praktijk bezighoudt met het brengen van anti-Russische propaganda, onderdeel van The Interpreter en dat is op haar beurt onderdeel van Broadcasting Board of Governors, een organisatie die VS propaganda over de wereld verspreid met een stuk of zes mediaorganen zoals ‘Voice of America’ (VOA).

Ook de Atlantic Council is een lobbyorgaan van het militair-industrieel complex, waar de NAVO een dikke vinger in de smerige pap heeft…….

The Facebook Purge of Independent Media: What You’re Not Being Told

Afbeeldingsresultaat voor The Facebook Purge of Independent Media: What You’re Not Being Told

October 15, 2018 at 11:26 am

Written by Derrick Broze

Victims of Facebook’s most recent purge should not forget the connections between the social media giant and the Western Military-Industrial Complex.

(CR) — On Thursday, Facebook announced they were unpublishing, or purging, over 500 pages and 200 accounts who are accused of spreading political spam. Several of these pages and writers were also removed from Twitter on the same day.

Today, we’re removing 559 Pages and 251 accounts that have consistently broken our rules against spam and coordinated inauthentic behavior,” Facebook stated in a blog post. Facebook states that the people behind this alleged spam “create networks of Pages using fake accounts or multiple accounts with the same names” and “post the same clickbait posts in dozens of Facebook Groups”.
Essentially, Facebook is accusing these pages of writing articles related to politics and then using the social media platform to…. post the articles in as many places as possible to reach as many people as possible. Hardly dangerous or scary stuff. However, these actions are in violation of Facebook’s Terms of Service. Facebook also accused the pages and accounts of using their fake accounts to generate fake likes and shares which may artificially inflate their reach and mislead people about their popularity. According to Facebook, “This activity goes against what people expect on Facebook, and it violates our policies against spam.”
Facebook also stated that “sensational political content” from across the political spectrum is being used to “build an audience and drive traffic to their websites, earning money for every visitor to the site”. Again, this does not qualify as dangerous or threatening activity. This is a standard practice for most media outlets who are trying to earn revenue to pay writers, editors, social media managers, etc. It is true that some of the pages on this list (see below for a current list) have indeed used clickbait headlines or even posts that are likely untrue. However, the list also includes legitimate independent news outlets such as The Anti Media, The Free Thought Project, Cop Block, and Police the Police, which focused on countering mainstream and establishment narratives related to politics and police.
Facebook’s statement that the pages and accounts were “often indistinguishable from legitimate political debate” begs the question – which pages and accounts are “legitimate political debate”? And by which metric does Facebook decide what counts as legitimate? These questions are yet to be answered. Perhaps with time Facebook will come clean about their process, but in the meantime it’s important to reflect on Facebook’s recent partnership with the Atlantic Council and attempts to stifle the flow of information in the name of fighting “fake news”.
The fight against Fake News started immediately following the election of Donald Trump. In November 2016, Merrimack College associate professor Melissa Zimdars posted a public Google document titled, “False, Misleading, Clickbait-y, and/or Satirical ‘News’ Sources” which went viral after being reported on by most corporate mainstream outlets. This list lumped in some of the same outlets which fell victim to Facebook’s most recent purge with actual fake news websites which are well known among the indie and alt media industry. Within a matter of weeks, a new list appeared online from an organization calling itself PropOrNot, an allegedly independent group of researchers trying to find the truth about the dissemination of Russian propaganda and fake news. This list also contained names of prominent independent media outlets like Anti-Media, The Corbett Report, MintPress News, and many others.
It was this combination of the Zimdars list and the PropOrNot list which had the immediate effect of placing a target on the vast majority of independent journalists and outlets who were now being accused of directly or indirectly conspiring with the Russians. Websites and social media pages for these outlets began suffering a drastic reduction in reach and interaction with their audiences and many websites lost access to Google advertising money due to these false associations.
The problem is that the majority of the mainstream media unquestionably reported on and repeated the claims made by these two lists without any attempt at investigative work. For example, PropOrNot claims they are “completely independent” and “nonpartisan” because they are not funded by anyone and have no formal institutional affiliations or political connections.
They say the must remain anonymous for now because they are a “are civilian Davids taking on a state-backed adversary Goliath”. However, a report by Russian news outlet Sputnik (yes, I am aware many readers will automatically scream, “Fake news!”, but I encourage you to read on.) challenges the alleged unbiased nature of PropOrNot.


Sputnik reports that George Eliason, a Ukraine-based investigative journalist, authored an expose of PropOrNot in which he argued the organization was a “deep-state hitjob on alternative news outlets”.
So when you’re looking at PropOrNot, it’s just basic investigative techniques. Who are they — that’s the first thing you need to know,” Eliason told Sputnik. “So you look them up on the web and you find nothing. I went to their website and did a basic scan, and the funny thing about PropOrNot is that to get into their website, you need to be logged into the dashboard of The Interpreter magazine.”

So who runs The Interpreter?
Eliason states that “The Interpreter is also overseen by the the Broadcasting Board of Governors, who run Voice of America and half a dozen other US propaganda projects across the globe”.
In addition, “The Interpreter is a product of the Atlantic Council committee, who is basically setting our foreign policy right now in Eastern Europe and Russia,” Eliason stated. “They’re an NGO, they work outside the government, and they work with the Ukrainian diaspora. They actually have a signed contract with the diaspora — you can view them signing it.”

The important takeaway from this report is that only 4 months later, in May 2018, Facebook announced a new partnership with the Atlantic Council – the same think tank tied to PropOrNot – which officially claims to provide a forum for international political, business, and intellectual leaders. Facebook said the partnership is aimed at preventing the social media tool from “being abused during elections.” The press release promoted Facebook’s efforts to fight fake news by using artificial intelligence, as well as working with outside experts and governments.
The Atlantic Council of the United States was established in 1961 to bolster support for international relations. Although not officially connected to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the Atlantic Council has spent decades promoting causes and issues which are beneficial to NATO member states. In addition, The Atlantic Council is a member of the Atlantic Treaty Organization, an umbrella organization which “acts as a network facilitator in the Euro-Atlantic and beyond.” The ATA* works similarly to the Atlantic Council, bringing together political leaders, academics, military officials, journalists and diplomats to promote values that are favorable to the NATO member states. Officially, ATA is independent of NATO, but the line between the two is razor thin.
Essentially, the Atlantic Council is a think tank which can offer companies or nation states access to military officials, politicians, journalists, diplomats, etc. to help them develop a plan to implement their strategy or vision. These strategies often involve getting NATO governments or industry insiders to make decisions they might not have made without a visit from the Atlantic Council team. This allows individuals or nations to push forth their ideas under the cover of hiring what appears to be a public relations agency but is actually selling access to high-profile individuals with power to affect public policy. Indeed, everyone from George H.W. Bush to Bill Clinton to the family of international agent of disorder Zbigniew Brzezinski have spoken at or attended council events.
The list of financial supporters reads like a who’s-who of think tanks and Non-Governmental Organizations. The Atlantic Council receives funding from the Brookings Institution, Carnegie Endowment, Cato Institute, Council on Foreign Relations, and the Rand Corporation, to name a few. In addition, various members of the Military-Industrial Complex are benefactors of the Atlantic Council, including Huntington Ingalls, the United States’ sole maker of aircraft carriers; Airbus, the plane manufacturer; Lockheed Martin, the shipbuilder and aviation company; and Raytheon, which makes missile systems. All of the companies have contracts with the U.S.
Department of Defense and offer financial support to the Atlantic Council. The Council also receives support from Chevron and the Thomson Reuters Foundation. Finally, the Atlantic Council receives direct financial support from the U.S. Departments of the Air Force, Army, Navy and Energy and from the U.S. Mission to NATO.
Is it possible Facebook is acting under the direction of their partners at the Atlantic Council to suppress anti-war, anti-establishment voices three weeks before the U.S. midterm elections? It is absolutely possible and likely.
We should also remember this is not the first time Facebook has deleted accounts which operate outside the mainstream corporate media. In August, Facebook deleted accounts containing “fringe or holistic medicine”, including Just Natural Medicine (1 million followers), Natural Cures Not Medicine (2.3 million followers), and People’s Awakening (3.6 million followers). The same month Facebook and Twitter deleted pages they claimed were connected to Iran and Russia.
This entire ongoing attack of independent media and free thought stemmed from the establishment media’s nonstop coverage of what has become known as fake news. Anyone and everyone who has countered the establishment narrative of endless war, a growing surveillance and police state, and an allegedly growing divide in American politics, has been labeled a Russian bot, accomplice, or useful idiot. One way or another, the message is clear: stand against the establishment and you will be labeled an enemy of the state.
By spreading the fake news meme the elitists behind the American power centers are able to attack growing independent media icons by painting them as propagators of false Russian propaganda. The media is also using this fake news meme and Russian prop to accuse Trump of being an illegitimate president, further playing into the “Trump is an outsider” narrative. All of this is being done with the goal of keeping the domestic front as divided as possible while selling the brainwashed masses into another war. Coincidentally, all of this non-sense is taking place while the corporate media spreads lies about Syria and Russia.
It’s more important than ever to remain level headed and use critical thinking. It’s never been more important to follow the pages that were purged directly from their websites. See the full list below and decide which outlets you want to continue to support in the information war.

Anti-Media Shut Down by Facebook and Twitter

Support Anti-Media by becoming a Patron

(CJ Opinion) — Facebook has purged more dissident political media pages today, this time under the pretense of protecting its users from “inauthentic activity”. In a statement co-authored by Facebook Head of Cybersecurity Nathaniel Gleicher (who also happens to be the former White House National Security Council Director of Cybersecurity Policy), the massive social media platform explained that it has removed “559 Pages and 251 accounts that have consistently broken our rules against spam and coordinated inauthentic behavior.”

Facebook has unpublished my page, The Anti-Media, after falsely accusing us of violating policies. 2.1 million followers and 5 years of work gone…for now.


This “inauthentic behavior”, according to Facebook, consists of using “sensational political content — regardless of its political slant — to build an audience and drive traffic to their websites,” which is the same as saying they write about controversial things, and posting those political articles “in dozens of Facebook Groups, often hundreds of times in a short period, to drum up traffic for their websites.”
In other words, the pages were removed for publishing controversial political content and trying to get people to read it. Not for writing “fake news”, but for doing what they could to get legitimate indie media news stories viewed by people who might want to view it. The practice of sharing your material around in Facebook groups is common practice for most independent media content creators; I did it myself a lot in late 2016 and early 2017, and pretty much all my indie media peers at the time did too.
Excellent breakdown the of the Facebook purge by @RealAlexRubi with commentary from some of the page owners who have poured countless hours over the last few years into building reputable Facebook pages that still dare to challenge the mainstream narrativehttps://sputniknews.com/us/201810121068814924-Reporters-Pages-Shut-Down-By-Facebook/

For those of you who read what I write, you know that I did not violate any standards,” writes Terresa Monroe-Hamilton, whose personal profile and Facebook page for her political blog NoisyRoom.net were both deleted. “In fact, I don’t send out most of what I write. I send on big news links and a few memes. It was enough to get me banned and the pages are simply gone.”
Facebook took down my page with nearly 70,000 followers, labeling it as ‘spam,’ when I have spent 4 years working to build that page up and using it to post the articles I wrote and videos of my reporting,” tweeted RT America’s Rachel Blevins. “This is so incredibly wrong and is affecting hundreds of similar pages.”
And just like that 5 + years of hard work promoting ideas of peace and freedom have been erased,” wrote a Facebook user called John Liberty, who lost multiple pages about police accountability, cannabis legalization and libertarianism.
Two of the most high-profile pages which were shut down have probably been seen at some point by any political dissident who uses Facebook; the Free Thought Project, which had 3.1 million followers, and Anti-Media, which had 2.1 million. I’ve found useful information on both sites before, and despite disagreeing with them ideologically in some areas have found them both vastly more legitimate than anything you’ll find on Google News.

Facebook Launches Full-Blown Attack On Independent

Media

Facebook censorship has become a growing problem, especially for independent media outlets. On Thursday, the severity of the situation came to fruition.

Holy shit. The Anti-Media’s Page was just removed from Twitter. So Twitter and Facebook are coordinating this. I know this

As if that wasn’t creepy enough, some of the accounts purged by Facebook appear to be getting censored on Twitter as well, bringing back memories of the August cross-platform coordinated silencing of Alex Jones. The aforementioned Anti-Media has now been suspended from Twitter just hours after tweeting about being removed from Facebook, and Patti Beers who had more than 30,000 Twitter followers has just been removed from both sites as well.
I have said it before and I will say it again: in a corporatist system, wherein there is no clear line between corporate power and government power, corporate censorship is government censorship. You can’t have a system wherein corporate lobbying and campaign finance amount to legalized bribery of elected officials, wherein massive Silicon Valley corporations form extensive ties with secretive government agencies in order to eclipse their competition, and then claim this is a matter of private corporations enforcing their own rules on their own private property. This is just what totalitarian government censorship looks like in a corporatist oligarchy.
Do you want a few Silicon Valley plutocrats determining what political speech constitutes “inauthentic activity” for you? Do you want a world in which the masses are herded into massive government-allied social media stables which are then regularly brought before the US Senate to pledge more iron-fisted censorship of problematic political speech? Do you want a world in which social media corporations are forced to make alliances with existing power structures in order to be allowed to grow? Do you want a world in which venues of political discourse are increasingly sterilized to favor the agendas of the ruling class? If not, the time to act is now.
Regardless of where you’re at on the political spectrum, if you oppose the status quo then opposing internet censorship of any political speech is now a matter of simple self defense. If this wasn’t obvious to you when they shut down Alex Jones, it should damn well be obvious to you now. If you want to change the existing system in any way which takes power away from those currently in power, your voice is next on the chopping block. They’re locking all the doors down as fast as they can to keep us trapped in this Orwellian oligarchy until they get us all killed by war or ecocide. If they shut down the public’s ability to share dissident information, they’ll have locked the final door. Don’t let them.
Here should be a video (1 min.), see original.
Without warning or explaination, Facebook just unpublished hundreds of pages including indepedent media outlets with millions of followers. Make no mistake, this is an extreme act of censorsoring the truth.

Oorlogen inclusief de onontkoombare vreselijke oorlogsmisdaden, daarom zijn ook de bedrijven en investeerders van het militair-industrieel complex (en de hen steunende politici) mede verantwoordelijk voor die oorlogsmisdaden, waarmee je hen zelfs als oorlogsmisdadigers zou kunnen aanmerken!

Hoorde afgelopen vrijdag Joost Vullings, politiek verslaggever en duider (ha! ha! ha!) voor o.a. de NOS en KRO – NCRV op Radio1. Het ging in de uitzending na 9.30 u. over al dan niet liegende politici, weet niet meer wat de stelling was en vind het bovendien te suf om op te zoeken, immers iedereen zal wel weten dat politici vooral heel vaak de boel belazeren en dus liegen bij het leven…..

Vullings durfde te zeggen dat Rutte onterecht wordt beschuldigd van liegen……. ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Vullings de politiek deskundige en duider heeft nooit een leugen kunnen ontdekken van Rutte, zo vulde hij zijn woorden aan…… Moet je nagaan: dezelfde Vullings heeft zich nogal eens negatief uitgelaten over nepnieuws op de sociale media…. ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!

Afbeeldingsresultaat voor rutte met pinokkio neus

Mensen het viel me nog alleszins mee van politiek duider Vullings dat hij erkende dat andere politici ‘wel eens liegen’, maar zo stelde hij, de meeste politici bedoelen het beste…… ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Ja voor de eigen positie, die van de financiële wereld plus de belangen van het grote bedrijfsleven en het militair-industrieel complex……..

Lullig genoeg is Vullings onderdeel van de publieke media, die al net als de commerciële media, vooral het woord van de zittende neoliberale regeringen en de hiervoor aangehaalde bedrijven prediken….. Tja dan moet je natuurlijk wel flink omhoog likken en geen kritiek leveren…….

Ongelofelijk dat Vullings zelfs mag werken voor de zogenaamd onafhankelijke NOS, in feite wordt hij betaald van ons belastinggeld……

‘Politiek duider…..’ ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!

VS gebruikt sociale media om ‘fake comment’ te verspreiden en de bevolking te hersenspoelen met leugens, ofwel ‘fake news….’

De algehele hysterie over ‘fake news’ (of: ‘nepnieuws’) is compleet en al dik meer dan een jaar gaande, waarbij de sociale media werden aangewezen als de verspreiders, terwijl de echte makers en verspreiders van nepnieuws juist de reguliere media zijn, zie de berichtgeving voorafgaand aan de illegale oorlogen tegen Afghanistan, Irak, Libië en Syrië, plus de berichtgeving over Oekraïne (en ga nog maar een tijd door…….)

Nu is er nieuws opgedoken over de VS overheid (en het leger) die al actief negatief nieuws over de overheid en bijvoorbeeld het leger te lijf gaan met een fiks aantal verzonnen personen, die meerdere identiteiten hebben op het internet, personages die het echte nieuws onderuit moeten halen. Het leger van de VS heeft al een klein legertje aan personen samengesteld om hun werk te doen. Overigens heeft Israël al eerder aangekondigd kritiek en negatief nieuws op/over deze fascistische apartheidsstaat aan te zullen vallen met een ‘snelle reactiemacht…..’*

Overigens dient opgemerkt te worden dat de VS en Israël nog iets verder gaan dan alleen kritiek aan te vallen, daar ze actief nepnieuws zullen verspreiden die bijvoorbeeld de uitgeoefende staatsterreur (in binnen en buitenland) moeten rechtvaardigen……
Topmilitairen van de VS zien in deze vorm van volksverlakkerij een belangrijk wapen om de bevolking te beïnvloeden, bijvoorbeeld (weer) met het schoonpraten van de grootschalige terreur die dit leger op meerdere plaatsen in de wereld uitoefent…….

What the Media Isn’t Telling You About Social Media

March 20, 2018 at 9:12 pm
Written by Corbett Report
(CORBETT) — Now openly admitted, governments and militaries around the world employ armies of keyboard warriors to spread propaganda and disrupt their online opposition. Their goal? To shape public discourse around global events in a way favourable to their standing military and geopolitical objectives. Their method? The weaponization of social media.
TRANSCRIPT:

It didn’t take long from the birth of the world wide web for the public to start using this new medium to transmit, collect and analyze information in ways never before imagined. The first message boards and clunky “Web 1.0” websites soon gave way to “the blogosphere.” The arrival of social media was the next step in this evolution, allowing for the formation of communities of interest to share information in real time about events happening anywhere on the globe.

But as quickly as communities began to form around these new platforms, governments and militaries were even quicker in recognizing the potential to use this new medium to more effectively spread their own propaganda.

Their goal? To shape public discourse around global events in a way favourable to their standing military and geopolitical objectives.

Their method? The Weaponization of Social Media.


Facebook. Twitter. YouTube. Snapchat. Instagram. Reddit. “Social media” as we know it today barely existed fifteen years ago. Although it provides new ways to interact with people and information from all across the planet virtually instantaneously and virtually for free, we are only now beginning to understand the depths of the problems associated with these new platforms. More and more of the original developers of social media sites like Facebook and Twitter admit they no longer use social media themselves and actively keep it away from their children, and now they are finally admitting the reason why: social media was designed specifically to take advantage of your psychological weaknesses and keep you addicted to your screen.

SEAN PARKER: If the thought process that went into building these applications—Facebook being the first of them to really understand it—that thought process was all about “How do we consume as much of your time and conscious attention as possible?” And that means that we need to sort of give you a little dopamine hit every once in a while because someone liked or commented on a photo or a post or whatever, and that’s gonna get you to contribute more content and that’s gonna get you more likes and comments. So it’s a social validation feedback loop. I mean it’s exactly the kind of thing that a hacker like myself would come up with, because you’re exploiting a vulnerability in human psychology. And I think that we—the inventors/creators, you know, it’s me, it’s Mark, it’s Kevin Systrom at Instagram, it’s all of these people—understood this consciously and we did it anyway.


It should be no surprise, then, that in this world of social media addicts and smartphone zombies, the 24/7 newsfeed is taking up a greater and greater share of people’s lives. Our thoughts, our opinions, our knowledge of the world, even our mood are increasingly being influenced or even determined by what we see being posted, tweeted or vlogged. And the process by which these media shape our opinions is being carefully monitored and analyzed, not by the social media companies themselves, but by the US military.

MARINA PORTNAYA: When the world’s largest social media platform betrays its users, there’s going to be outrage.

ABC HOST: The study to see whether Facebook could influence the emotional state of its users on that news feed.

CNN ANCHOR: It allowed researchers to manipulate almost 700,000 users’ news feeds. Some saw more positive news about their friends, others saw more negative.

CNN GUEST: Well I’m not surprised. I mean we’re all kind of lab rat than the big Facebook experiment.

PORTNAYA: But it wasn’t only Facebook’s experiment. It turns out the psychological study was connected to the US government’s research on social unrest.

MORNING JOE GUEST: This is really kind of creepy.

PORTNAYA: And it gets worse. What you may not know is that the US Department of Defense has reportedly spent roughly $20 million conducting studies aimed at learning how to manipulate online behavior in order to influence opinion. The initiative was launched in 2011 by the Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, otherwise known as DARPA. The program is best described as the US media’s effort to become better at detecting and conducting propaganda campaigns via social media. Translation: When anti-government messages gain ground virally, Washington wants to find a way to spread counter opinion.

SOURCE: US military harnesses social media to manipulate online behaviour


The DARPA document that details the Pentagon’s plans for influencing opinions in the social media space is called “Social Media in Strategic Communication.” DARPA’s goal, according to their own website, is “to develop tools to help identify misinformation or deception campaigns and counter them with truthful information.”

Exactly what tools were developed for this purpose and how they are currently being deployed is unclear.

But Rand Walzman, the program’s creator, admitted last year that the project lasted four years, cost $50 million and led to the publication of over 200 papers. The papers, including “Incorporating Human Cognitive Biases in a Probabilistic Model of Retweeting,” “Structural Properties of Ego Networks,” and “Sentiment Prediction using Collaborative Filtering,” make the thrust of the program perfectly clear. Social media users are lab rats being carefully scrutinized by government-supported researchers, their tweets and Facebook posts and Instagram pictures being analyzed to determine how information spreads online, and, by implication, how the government and the military can use these social media networks to make their own propaganda “go viral.”

As worrying as this research is, it pales in comparison to the knowledge that governments, militaries and political lobby groups are already employing squadrons of foot soldiers to wage information warfare in the social media battlespace.

AL-JAZEERA ANCHOR: The Pentagon’s got a new plan to counter anti-American messages in cyberspace. It involves buying software that will enable the American military to create and control fake online personas—fake people, essentially—who will appear to have originated from all over the world. The plan is being undertaken by CENTCOM (US Central Command), and the objective of the online persona management service is to combat enemy propaganda by influencing foreign social media websites. CENTCOM has hired a software development company called “Ntrepid,” and, according to the contract, the California-based company will initially provide 50 user licenses, each of which would be capable of controlling up to 10 fake personas. US law forbids the use of this type of technology, called “sockpuppets,” against Americans, so all the personas will reportedly be communicating in languages like Arabic, Persian and Urdu.

CTV ANCHOR: So is it okay to have the government monitor social media conversations and then to wade in and correct some of those conversations? With more on this, let’s go to technology expert Carmi Levy. He’s on the line from Montreal. Carmi, do you think the government’s monitoring what you and I are saying right now? Is this whole thing getting out of line, or what?

[…]

CARMI LEVY: It opens up a bit of a question. I’d like to call it a Pandora’s box about, you know, what exactly is the government’s aim here, and what do they hope to accomplish with what they find out? And as they accumulate this information online—this data on us—where does that data go? And so I think as much as we should applaud the government for getting into this area, the optics of it are potentially very Big Brother-ish. And the government really does need to be a little bit more concrete on what its intentions are and how it intends to achieve them.

4WWL REPORTER: New evidence that government-owned computers at the Army Corps of Engineers office here in New Orleans are being used to verbally attack critics of the Corps comes in an affidavit from the former editor-in-chief of nola.com. Jon Donley, who was laid off this past February, tells us via satellite from Texas, in late 2006 he started noticing people presenting themselves as ordinary citizens defending the Corps very energetically.

JON DONLEY: What stuck out, though, was the wording of the comments was in many ways mirroring news releases from the Corps of Engineers.

[…]

SANDY ROSENTHAL: These commenters tried to discredit these people . . .

4WWL REPORTER: And when Rosenthal investigated, she discovered the comments were coming from users at the internet provider address of the Army Corps of Engineers offices here in New Orleans. She blamed the Corps for a strategy of going after critics.

ROSENTHAL: In the process of trying to obscure the facts of the New Orleans floodings, one of their tactics was just verbal abuse.

NAFTALI BENNETT: Mo’etzet Yesha, in conjunction with My Israel, has arranged an instruction day for Wiki editors. The goal of the day is to teach people how to edit in Wikipedia, which is the number one source of information today in the world. As a way of example, if someone searches the Gaza flotilla, we want to be there. We want to be the guys who influence what is written there, how it’s written, and to ensure that it’s balanced and Zionist in the nature.

These operations are only the visible and publicly-admitted front of a vast array of military and intelligence programs that are attempting to influence online behaviour, spread government propaganda, and disrupt online communities that arise in opposition to their agenda.

That such programs exist is not a matter of conjecture; it is mundane, established, documented fact.
In 2014, an internal document was leaked from GCHQ, the British equivalent of the NSA. The document, never intended for public release, was entitled “The Art of Deception: Training for a New Generation of Online Covert Operations” and bluntly stated that “We want to build Cyber Magicians.” It then goes on to outline the “magic” techniques that must be employed in influence and information operations online, including deception and manipulation techniques like “anchoring,” “priming” and “branding” propaganda narratives. After presenting a map of social networking technologies that are targeted by these operations, the document then instructs the “magicians” how to deceive the public through “attention management” and behavioural manipulation.

That governments would turn to these strategies is hardly a shocking development. In fact, the use of government shills to propagate government talking points and disrupt online dissent has been openly advocated on the record by high-ranking government officials for the past decade.

In 2008, Cass Sunstein, a law professor who would go on to become Obama’s information “czar,” co-authored a paper entitled “Conspiracy Theories,” in which he wrote that the “best response” to online “conspiracy theories” is what he calls “cognitive infiltration” of groups spreading these ideas.

Government agents (and their allies) might enter chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups and attempt to undermine percolating conspiracy theories by raising doubts about their factual premises, causal logic or implications for political action. In one variant, government agents would openly proclaim, or at least make no effort to conceal, their institutional affiliations. […] In another variant, government officials would participate anonymously or even with false identities.”


It is perhaps particularly ironic that the idea that government agents are actually and admittedly spreading propaganda online under false identities is, to the less-informed members of the population, itself a “conspiracy theory” rather than an established conspiracy fact.

Unsurprisingly, when confronted about his proposal, Sunstein pretended to not remember having written it and then pointedly refused to answer any questions about it.

LUKE RUDKOWSKI: My name is Bill de Burgh from Brooklyn College, and I know you’ve written many articles. But I think the most telling one about you is the 2008 one called “Conspiracy Theories,” where you openly advocated government agents infiltrate activist groups of 9/11 Truth and also stifle dissent online. I was wondering why do you think it’s the government’s job, or why do you think the government should go after family members who have questions and 9/11 responders who are lied to about the air, survivors whose testimony conflicts, and also government whistleblowers that were gagged because they released information that contradicts the official story.

CASS SUNSTEIN: I think it was Ricky who said I’d written hundreds of articles and I remember some and not others. That one I don’t remember very well. I hope I didn’t say that. But whatever was said in that article, my role in government is to oversee federal rule-making in a way that is wholly disconnected from the vast majority of my academic writing, including that.

[…]

RUDKOWSKI: I just want to know is it safe to say that you retract saying that conspiracy theories should be banned or taxed for having an opinion online. Is it safe to say that?

SUNSTEIN: I don’t remember the article very well. So I hope I didn’t say either those things.

RUDKOWSKI: But you did and it’s written. Do you retract them?

SUNSTEIN: I’m focused on my job.

SOURCE: Obama Information Czar Cass Sunstein Confronted on Cognitive Infiltration of Conspiracy Groups


Now, a decade on from Sunstein’s proposal, we know that military psyops agents, political lobbyists, corporate shills and government propagandists are spending vast sums of money and employing entire armies of keyboard warriors, leaving comments and shaping conversations to change the public’s opinions, influence their behaviour, and even alter their mood. And they are helped along in this quest by the very same technology that allows the public to connect on a scale never before possible.

Technology is always a double-edged sword, and sometimes it can be dangerous to wield that sword at all. There are ways to identify and neutralize the threat of online trolls and shills, but the phenomenon is not likely to go away any time soon.

Each of us must find our own answer to the question of how best to incorporate these technologies into our life. But the next time you find yourself caught up in an argument with an online persona that may or may not be a genuine human being, it might be better to ask yourself if your efforts are better spent engaging in the argument or just turning off the computer.
