Bulletins and News Discussion from January 20th to January 26th, 2025 - Viva La Resistance

Image is of many Hamas soldiers supervising the handing over of Israeli hostages to cars heading out of the Gaza Strip.

After 15 months of genocide - and resistance to it - the Israeli regime realized that they could not win a military victory against Hamas, and were forced to sign a humiliating ceasefire in order to get their hostages returned.

With much of Syria under the control of Al-Qaeda, and an increasing level of covert infiltration into Lebanon, the crisis in the Middle East is not over, and we may still be in its beginning stages, as the center of hegemony continues its gradual shift away from the United States. Their navy, once considered the best in the world, is likely also not very happy about their ships and aircraft carriers being forced to retreat by Yemen, one of the poorest countries; and all eyes are on Iran, who has, over the last year and a half, demonstrated a newfound confidence and strength to directly strike Israel.

The recovery for Gaza will take, at a minimum, decades; it could indeed never fully recovery to even how it was before, considering it is not in Israel's interests to see their concentration camps recover. But Hamas has proven to be steadfast and the tunnel network has proven its resilience, despite facing some of the most powerful conventional bombing in history. This shows that Palestine's liberation is a when, not an if; and hopefully a much sooner "when" than expected before October 7th.

  • Can you imagine if China decides to carry out a massive deportation of I don't know, mongolian people just because they don't like foreigners? Can you imagine the reaction of the entire West after hearing a CCP official say stuff like "We have to go after the illegal aliens who commited crimes but there will be collateral deportations as well as the people who surround our targets will also be arrested" or "I don't care if a person is born in the US and is granted citizenship, if their parents are illegal immigrants they're out"?

    We're being fed shit about Xinjiang while the US helps "Israel" carry out a genocide and are preparing for a potential genocide at home too, and the outrage? and the resistance from the so called "enlightened peoples" that don't live "out there in the jungle"?

    This pathetic fucking wretched beast that is the Westrern World cannot die soon enough omg. We have to go this insanely painful process before it finally succums to it's own wounds. Yeah, the West is literally killing itself because they're too afraid of some people who want to share the same spaces as them, literally the most insecure people in History. It's not that China or the evil Easterners are besieging the West with warships and imposing horrible blockades and genocides, no, the West is literally suicidal for no good reason lmao.

    What a shitload of fuck.

  • Panamanians burn the U.S. flag outside of the embassy in Panama City. They’re protesting Trump’s interventionist remarks regarding the canal. Panamanians protest Trump's recent statements about regaining control of the Panama Canal, calling it a direct attack on Panama’s sovereignty.

  • Our postings on XHS are waking some people up to Elon's bullshit:

    I see more and more comments like these, especially with the Nazi salute making the rounds

  • IDF announced the start of a military operation in the west bank city of Jenin.

    "The operation in Jenin will be completely different and unprecedented in its scope and size".

    Currently a lot of videos coming out showing fighting and bulldozers moving into the area. A lot of arabic channels calling for a general mobilisation.

  • NBC has just revealed that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has banned a US military plane carrying deported immigrants from landing in her country. The White House and the Mexican Embassy declined to comment.

    @MarmiteLover123@hexbear.net This confirms what you said about Mexico refusing to allow American planes to use Mexican airspace to deport immigrants

  • More than 630 humanitarian trucks enter Gaza after ceasefire. The trucks were prohibited from entering the area by Israeli forces, despite requests from international organizations and other UN countries.

  • Bernie panders be like: “marco rubio is my great friend, we can bomb so many countries together using f35 produced in the great state of vermont”

    (lil marco was confirmed 99-0 by the reichstag)

  • I'd be interested to hear what y'alls analysis of the situation is and what you expect to happen in the next 3-12 months.

    Trump has so far

    • Crashed the farming industry.
    • Alienated the EU
    • Reignited talks of Californian secession
    • Ushered in a ceasefire in Gaza
    • Appointed Boris Yeltsin as SOD
    • Almost made Epstein-lite AG
    • Been the devil for queer and trans people
    • Ramped up ICE
    • Continued the previous administrations strategy of ignoring the bird flu.
    • Elon heil
    • Please add more

    All in all I'd say my evaluation that he'd be better than Kamala on foreign policy (not out of a kind heart, but out of being a big Doofus) and the devil domestically was correct. As contradictions heighten I think we'll see events that make the summer of 2020 look like a warm-up.
    Not downplaying what is happening, but a lot of what I see reported about domestic issues isn't really more than what was already developing, it's just getting attention now that the libs are in opposition. Though the persecution of queer people is wild and I had not predicted Elon doing the sieg heil nor the corporate pullback from many institutions that ensured some safety for minorities.
    That's scary. I'm lucky I don't live in the us (haven't for years).

    From a personal perspective, the Greenland stuff scares me. I've got danish family, until recently I lived in Denmark. I'd like to go back someday.

    • Donald Trump signs a decree withdrawing the United States from the Paris Agreement against climate change.
    • Donald Trump signs an order withdrawing the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO).

    • Donald Trump says the United States doesn't need Latin America. Trump says that his government's relationship with Latin America “should be good, very good”. “They need us much more than we need them. We don't need them, they need us. Everyone needs us,” commented the American president.

    ?

    • Trump signs a rule suspending the Tik Tok blockade in the US in order to negotiate with the Chinese company.
    • Trump signs a decree re-designating Cuba as a “state sponsor of terrorism”.
    • Trump shows his opposition to the BRICS, but is wrong to think that Spain is part of the group led by Brazil, Russia, China, India and South Africa.

    lol

    • Trump signs an executive order changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. The action, however, is only valid on US soil.
    • President Donald Trump grants presidential pardons to approximately 1,500 people convicted of crimes related to the storming of the Capitol.
    • Telegram

  • Just so we're on the same page - we're 100% watching the start of american labor camps for illegal immigrants, right?

    When do you'll think we'll get the first official facility? Will it be state run or private? Will it stem from prisons, due to that new law (accused of robbery in the last 10 years)?

  • Okay but that was the most pathetic nazi salute I have ever seen dude has negative charisma lmfao

    I hope the USSR is revived and this time they do launch the Topol M ICBMs.

  • After the end of the ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel this morning, the Lebanese people are bravely confronting the the Israeli military occupation units that remain in south-eastern Lebanon, walking right up to Israeli tanks, going ahead of the Lebanese army and past their fortifications to confront the Zionists, and returning to their towns and homes. This has resulted in confrontations between the Israeli military and Lebanese civilians with Israel shooting at the Lebanese people to try stop them from returning, with 15 dead and 83 injured 22 dead and 123 injured, including 9 minors and a paramedic, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry. This has also forced the Lebanese army to actually fulfill their mandate and protect the people, as the people went ahead of the army to confront the occupation. One Lebanese army soldier is also set to have been killed.

    There are too many videos and photos to post individually, but they are astounding to see.

    My favourite two, very contrasting emotions:

    The Middle East Observer twitter account has compiled a bunch of videos and photos on his account, if you want to see more. Even a makeshift shrine for the martyrs has been erected.

  • Leonard Peltier is granted clemency! He’s out of prison and commuted to home confinement. This is a huge win for grassroots Indigenous movements who kept his campaign alive and a moral indictment on the system and people who kept him unjustly imprisoned for half a century.

  • Elon Musk appears in a video at a German far-right campaign event. Musk spoke of the importance of preserving German culture, which cannot be lost in some kind of multiculturalism that dilutes everything

    Billionaire Elon Musk made a surprise appearance at an AfD (Alternative fuer Deutschland) election campaign event in Halle, eastern Germany, on Saturday, speaking publicly in support of the far-right party for the second time in a few weeks.

  • Trump will govern during the 2026 World Cup and 2028 Olympic Games. Remember, the world cup will take place in Canada, United States and Mexico at the same time, I can't wait to see Trump fuck this up.

  • Yes… great strategy just keep yelling about j 6 like you have already been doing non stop for four years now.

    Oh yeah prescription drug prices but not FREE just more “fair”

    You know what they say; if at first you don’t succeed…. just keep doing the same bullshit over and over again and hope for a different result magically.

  • Trump just said that 700 000 Ukrainians have been killed during the war, along with "almost a million" Russians.

    Finally we get a realistic number on Ukrainian casualties, and it's from Trump talking casually with news reporters in the Oval Office while signing executive orders! Also says that Zelensky wants to "make a deal".

    Trump is talking so candidly with reporters, it's quite weird to watch. Also he thinks tarrifs are the answer to everything. There's a problem? Just solve it with tarrifs on your opponent!

    He just signed an executive order to withdraw from the World Health Organisation (WHO).

  • Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says she will talk with Brazilian President Lula da Silva about a joint Latin American response to the expansionist policies of Donald Trump, who is threatening to seize the Panama Canal and is trying to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico. Asked about a joint statement in the face of Trump's expansionist threats and new migration policy, Sheinbaum said there was “unity” in Latin America.

    “I've had several phone calls in recent days, I've spoken to [Guatemalan President Bernardo] Arévalo, there was a meeting of the foreign ministers of different Latin American and Caribbean countries and in recent days we're going to speak to President Lula,” Sheinbaum said at her daily press conference.

  • Damn I'm so glad I had left the US 4 year ago, at the very last moment sort of. It's not even a Trump thing, it's just generally the mass psychosis thing
