Bulletins and News Discussion from October 7th to October 13th, 2024 - Happy International Paragliding Day!

Image is here.


One year on. Hundreds of thousands are dying or dead, millions are displaced, the Middle East is undergoing its greatest changes in a generation, Iran has directly attacked Israel twice in one year, and Yemen has proven that the US Navy ain't worth shit. We are the closest we have been to nuclear war (discounting accidents) in decades, but also the fall of Israel.

Because one day, the prisoners of a concentration camp paraglided over a wall.

Israel-Palestine Conflict

If you have evidence of Israeli crimes and atrocities that you wish to preserve, there is a thread here in which to do so.

Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:

UNRWA reports on Israel's destruction and siege of Gaza and the West Bank.

English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account. Alt here.
English-language twitter account that collates news.
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon. - Telegram is @IbnRiad.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis. - Telegram is @EyesOnSouth.
English-language Twitter account in the same group as the previous two. - Telegram here.

English-language PalestineResist telegram channel.
More telegram channels here for those interested.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict

Sources:

Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
Simplicius, who publishes on Substack. Like others, his political analysis should be soundly ignored, but his knowledge of weaponry and military strategy is generally quite good.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists' side.

Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.

Pro-Russian Telegram Channels:

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

https://t.me/aleksandr_skif ~ DPR's former Defense Minister and Colonel in the DPR's forces. Russian language.
https://t.me/Slavyangrad ~ A few different pro-Russian people gather frequent content for this channel (~100 posts per day), some socialist, but all socially reactionary. If you can only tolerate using one Russian telegram channel, I would recommend this one.
https://t.me/s/levigodman ~ Does daily update posts.
https://t.me/patricklancasternewstoday ~ Patrick Lancaster's telegram channel.
https://t.me/gonzowarr ~ A big Russian commentator.
https://t.me/rybar ~ One of, if not the, biggest Russian telegram channels focussing on the war out there. Actually quite balanced, maybe even pessimistic about Russia. Produces interesting and useful maps.
https://t.me/epoddubny ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/boris_rozhin ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/mod_russia_en ~ Russian Ministry of Defense. Does daily, if rather bland updates on the number of Ukrainians killed, etc. The figures appear to be approximately accurate; if you want, reduce all numbers by 25% as a 'propaganda tax', if you don't believe them. Does not cover everything, for obvious reasons, and virtually never details Russian losses.
https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses ~ Pro-Russian, documents abuses that Ukraine commits.

Pro-Ukraine Telegram Channels:

Almost every Western media outlet.
https://discord.gg/projectowl ~ Pro-Ukrainian OSINT Discord.
https://t.me/ice_inii ~ Alleged Ukrainian account with a rather cynical take on the entire thing.

  • What a nailbiter of a game! Kunlun Red Star came out of the gates strong scoring the first goal in the first period and widening their lead early in the second with another goal! Lokomotiv wasn't deterred, scoring once late in the second and managing to tie it up in the last few minutes of the third! The railwaymen must've built up a good head of steam because they were quick to end it in overtime, scoring almost immediately to bring the final score to 3-2 in Lokomotiv's favor!

    Lokomotiv next plays HC Sochi on October 12 at 5pm Moscow Standard Time

    train-shining УРА ЛОКОМОТИВ train-shining

    • Lokomotiv seems like a very good team, did you pick to follow them because of that or because of the name lol

      (ALSO GO LOKMOTIV TRAIN GANG STRONG train-shining train-shining train-shining )

      • I found out about Lokomotiv when I did a presentation on Yaroslavl, I picked them 100% based on their name/train theme (train-shining TRAIN GOOD train-shining ), Kunlun Red Star are my second favorite team because they're the only Chinese team and have a communist theme.

        I'm very happy that Lokomotiv are a strong team but I'd still be cheering for them if they were the bottom of the league

        • wait there's a chinese team in a russian league? that's cool as shit tbh

          • Yup! The KHL is largely made up of Russian teams but there are also teams from Belarus, Kazakhstan, and China!

          • And I believe most of their players are Canadian!

            • Some even have dual Canadian Chinese citizenship so they can play on the Chinese national team in the Olympics

            • not too surprising, I doubt hockey is popular in china and canada produces a lot of hockey talents so makes sense a lot of them are playing in a russian league

              as a side note honestly really wish i was gifted athletically, i know this is was originally about a Russian hockey league but if I was good at basketball i could play for the CBA and move to China :cri:
