CW - transphobia, other horrors

Uh

Mark Robinson, the controversial and socially conservative Republican nominee for governor of North Carolina, made a series of inflammatory comments on a pornography website’s message board more than a decade ago, in which he referred to himself as a “black NAZI!” and expressed support for reinstating slavery, a CNN KFile investigation found.

Despite a recent history of anti-transgender rhetoric, Robinson said he enjoyed watching transgender pornography, a review of archived messages found in which he also referred to himself as a “perv.”

Robinson listed his full name on his profile for Nude Africa, as well as an email address he used on numerous websites across the internet for decades.

Seeing some people call this resistance fight the ‘Gaza Ghetto Uprising’ and like damn

that hits hard

hello fellow news enjoyers

lots has been going on in the world since i last posted. A ghetto uprising in Gaza sparking into a full on multi-front war of resistance. Russia’s slow grind finally paying off with desperate and collapsing Ukrainian forces, this Kursk adventure seems to be facing the same fate as the last Kursk adventure, with Russia re-taking a big chunk of the salient today. Once an offensive has stalled and started moving into retreat, we can safely say it was thwarted. Multiple coups and coup attempts throughout the world, the only ones in our favor seemingly in the Sahel.

The latest looks like Israel continues to escalate towards Lebanon. After the two waves of terror attacks in Lebanon yesterday by Mossad, now the IDF airforce is heavily bombing Southern Beirut, and Netanyahu is releasing press statements about regaining the settlements in northern occupied Palestine on the Lebanese border. Apparently the General Staff of the Zionist Entity have approved a plan for an offensive in Lebanon. Armored units, special forces & helicopters are arriving at the border. The airstrikes may be preparation and softening for the offensive.

Also, it’s cute that America pretends to not know about the pager attack when they advised all of the staff in the American hospital in Beirut to swap pagers 10 days ago. Echoes of Crocus terror attack where American made ominous warnings days before about an upcoming terror attack in Russia but wouldn’t provide any details.

Even though I am rather doomer myself, pager attack seems to be of rather limited damage as there is almost no interruption to hezbollah attacks on israhell. But I hoped Nasrallah admit some failure on his part. I don’t expect them to announce what is their solutions since that info will be abused by zionazis. We don’t know scale of affect of Iran missile strike on isfake and probably never will but even that managed to stop the bombing in gaza for one day. I hope they start enforcing discipline better. Some officers really need to be held accountable as isn’treal was able to easily track shipment and send fake ones unnoticed and there was not even inspection on arrived materials

House Passes Bill to Label Products From West Bank Settlements “Made in Israel”

The House passed a bill on Wednesday to label products from illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank as originating from “Israel,” essentially recognizing Israel’s annexation and ethnic cleansing of the region in what opponents of the bill say is a “hateful” attempt to erase the very existence of Palestinians in Palestine.

The bill would make permanent an extremist Donald Trump-era policy to mislabel products from Palestine. Under the proposal, products from areas encompassing the majority of the West Bank would be labeled as a “Product of Israel” or “Made in Israel.”

. . .

The bill passed 231 to 189, with 16 Democrats joining Republicans in voting “yes.” The Democrats who voted in favor represent some of the most extremist pro-Israel Democrats in the House, as well as some of the most conservative in the caucus, including Representatives Ritchie Torres (New York) and Josh Gottheimer (New Jersey).

Won’t someone please think of the brands?!?!?!?

The New York Times finally identifies the real victims of the anti-immigrant pogroms:

Many advertisers have tried for years to avoid sharing space with content about polarizing politics, pandemics, hate speech or misinformation, for fear of damaging customer perception and risking public censure. That ads appeared anyway on YouTube ahead of falsehoods about Haitian migrants underscores the difficulty advertisers face in maintaining brand safety in an especially volatile election year.

. . .

Having an advertisement land next to misinformation can be financially damaging — the share of people who click on such ads is 46 percent lower than for ads that avoid being twinned with toxic content, according to Integral Ad Science, a company focusing on brand safety.

Closed: All Taco John’s Michigan locations shutter

Franchise owner Meritage Hospitality Group has closed all of its locations, including the Taco John’s in Wyoming, Hudsonville and Caledonia. Those three locations all opened in February of last year.

“We did make the difficult decision to close our Taco John’s restaurants. We appreciate our employees’ commitment and hard work as well as the community’s patronage as we have endeavored to make this concept a success,” a Meritage spokesperson said in a statement to News 8.

Economy is doing fine

Morocco, a retreat for Israeli soldiers leaving Gaza: As “Israeli” war crimes in Gaza, the West Bank, and now Lebanon draw international censure, will Morocco continue offering a luxurious retreat for occupation soldiers, or will mounting public outrage and legal action force the kingdom to confront its controversial alliance with “Tel Aviv”? | The Cradle

Now, outside of Gaza, the cries of children and the echoes of shattered lives linger in “Israeli” soldier Moshe Avichzer’s mind. Blood splatters, refusing to fade, stain his occupational army uniform, and the dust of leveled neighborhoods clings to his skin.

The mission is complete: Gaza is left in ruins, its people without water, electricity, or hope. Now, the need to decompress calls for a new task.

But where does an “Israeli” soldier like Avichzer unwind after committing such atrocities? The answer is Morocco – Marrakesh, to be exact.

Western mainstream media seems to have this take on the illegal zionist entity’s terror attacks on Lebanon:

• The attacks wounded or killed large parts of Hezbollah’s leadership, thereby significantly sealing the organisation
• The illegal zionist entity has penetrated the entire command structure of Hezbollah
• The illegal zionist entity “has been one step ahead of” Hezbollah all the time
• Hezbollah will probably retaliate in some form but they do not have the capability to do a large counterattack
• Nasrallah’s speech is just Nasrallah doing his job and saying what he’s expected to say. It is mostly empty threats.

I can link you the article I got this from but I’m sure there are hundreds of similar articles out there for you to find.

All of this sounds very one-sided but it seems plausible that many leading Hezbollah members were among the victims of the terrorist attacks. It also seems plausible that the attacks might cause paranoia and fear internally on Lebanon and in Hezbollah. I don’t know what effect it has on their operational capabilities though, I would reckon that they have planned for situations like these and protected their organisation against decapitation attacks.

theres now a video going around of Israeli soldier throwing a Palestinan from a Rooftop in Jenin , Westbank.

I looked up the EU “terror list” just for fun. I knew it was a list of scary Muslims but I would have imagined that they would have put a few token white guys in there.

But no, out of 21 designated “terrorist” organisatios, 17 are from the Muslim world. All 21 are from the global south. Was it really that hard to find some small group of politically insignificant Nazis and add them to keep up appearances?

The “Uncommitted Movement” issued a statement today that they:

• Will not endorse Kamala Harris over not meeting any of their demands
• Urge their supporters to vote in the Presidential election
• Urge their supporters not to vote for Trump or any third-party/independent candidates for president.

With “friends” like these…

RE: Federal interest rate cut.

Okay so the graph shows that a cut in interest rates precipitates a recession. While that’s true, I think we’re still in uncertain waters because the US economy is unlike it’s ever been. The 8 years of near zero interest rates was unprecedented and shifted so much of the capital into assets rather than real production. So I don’t know if the typical rules about borrowing and reinvestment will apply.

Do the high priests of the economy think a recession is coming? They’re saying they don’t think so, but they also could be lying. The rate hikes were intended to slow down inflation, which they largely did. But prices are still high compared to wages. What will people do with lower interest rates? Is it enough to boost general consumption? Or just enough for financial types to move money away from production and into financial instruments. I don’t know.

@Kalibrated_Maps on twitter suggests that something like 25% of the Kursk salient has been liberated by Russia. Note that other maps show a larger salient and less Russian gains (bias, fog of war, etc.)

Israel straight up bombing Lebanon now.
