Bulletins and News Discussion from November 25th to December 1st, 2024 - Brothers in Genocide - COTW: Morocco

It's over in Aleppo, local facebook groups are full of reports of SAA units withdrawing beyond the airport and rebel gains are fully consolidated in the western parts. What an unimaginable disaster, I literally can't even process that this happened. We're now at Mosul level disaster, a few more days of this and we're looking at an Afghanistan level disaster. Just pure insanity, this scenario couldn't be imagined by the biggest jihadi optimist in the world.

In case anyone need clarification re: who the “rebels” are fighting for

President Biden and family exited Nantucket Bookworks this afternoon with the president carrying the book, "The Hundred Years' War on Palestine" by Rashid Khalidi, according to pool reporters.

I remember I used to follow the Battle of Aleppo very closely back when the SAA reorganized and began to retake the city, block by block and street by street. It was a painful process and while sucessful, the Syrians lost a fuckton of men. Now all that effort has gone to waste as the SAA completely folds over the HTS offensive. I'm having flashbacks of ISIS quick operations in Mosul when they first appeared, completely running over the Iraqi Army, sending the entire region into a spiral of never seen before violence.

Eternal solidarity with the Syrian people who have to go through this shit again... They deserve peace after more than a decade of civil war.

Death to "israel", I have zero doubts they're connected to this.

Bit idea: brace should try and getting a talking spot on the TV to comment on the situation in Syria, by selling himself as an expert for having fought against ISIS in Syria

Updated situation on Aleppo. Since my last post created 2½ hours ago, and updated an hour ago, the situation has deteriorated rapidly. A large group of HTS fighters have taken a photo at the Citadel, raising the FSA flag. The frontlines must've weakened sustainability to let so many fighters through.

I've reverse image searched the photo myself and got no matches, it's recent. Aleppo has fallen.

Day One Of Supreme Court Hearing Case Of Danish Ex-Spy Suing Intelligence Agencies To Clear His Name

The first preliminary hearing was held today before Denmark's Supreme Court in a highly unusual case involving former intelligence asset Ahmed Samsam. Samsam is pursuing legal action against Denmark’s secret police PET and spy agency FE, seeking official acknowledgment of his collaboration with them as a spy in Syria. He aims to use this recognition to challenge and ultimately overturn his 2018 terrorism conviction in Spain, asserting his innocence

Today Samsam's former lawyer was allowed to testify on his meetings with representatives of the secret agencies for the first time.

Context from 2018: Syria's Idlib spared attack, Turkey to send in more troops

Turkey will send more troops into Syria’s Idlib province after striking a deal with Russia that has averted a government offensive and delighted rebels who said it kept the area out of President Bashar al-Assad’s hands.

Putin got fucked over again by a NATO-backed "peace deal"

The situation in Syria is really bad. Suriyakmaps, a very reliable war mapper that relies only on geolocated evidence, has called the collapse of Syrian Army positions in the west of Aleppo. Videos and photographs are emerging of HTS fighters in the governors mansion and police headquarters in Aleppo, further inside the city, falling back or dispersing into the city afterwards. A third front has been opened in Idlib, where Russian aviation allegedly cannot operate freely due to the presence of Surface to Air Missiles, though this is not confirmed. It's looking bleak, Aleppo could fall to HTS within the next few days. If they take the Citadel of Aleppo to the northeast, it's over.

New videos have emerged of HTS fighters on the outskirts of the Citadel, if not at the Citadel itself. Covert insurgents behind the front lines that have blended into the city. Rooting these HTS insurgents out with counterinsurgency operations is going to be very difficult. That is, if there's even time for counterinsurgency operations before the entire city falls.

An increasingly desperate sounding Jair Bolsonaro pleads for an amnesty from Lula and Alexandre de Moraes, who he had planned to have assassinated. - Brazilwire

Messages reveal that 2022 Military coup plotters discussed creating a “prisoner of war” camp for opponents, which was referred to as “Auschwitz”.

Bolsonaro's defence claims coup was only planned and not executed, but the Police report clearly shows initial execution, says Pierpaolo Bottini, law professor at USP. "Incompetence does not exclude the commission of the crime, failure is not giving up."

But to BBC News, Bolsonaro is a moderate, he totally wasn't a Neo-Nazi building paramilitary groups and death squads. Is Lula da Silva who is the radical, and is Lula who is totally arming the evil Landless Movement with Tractors and Seeds.

Moroccan here. Just want to add that the first years of Mohammed 6 were marked by great optimism, naming him "the king of the poor". This optimism was later on shattered, and a new form of oppression took place. While Hassan 2 was a dictator who sent people who opposed him to a secret prison, and people just vanishing like for publicly saying the wrong things like Mehdi Ben Barka, the opposition was fierce. There was a notable coup attempt in 1972. The reign of Mohammed 6 presents a friendly face but is marked by a shift to business, the king owns many major businesses in the country, making competition nearly impossible. The king gets to extract all the riches while pretending to be this meek gentle king, and the prime ministers are changed at will and they get to be the focus of all the discontent people have. Speaking against the king is still a political taboo that you never hear publicly.

2025 Ukrainian budget approved

Ukraine's deficit is shockingly low, although so much of their income comes from foreign aid that Kyiv is likely to continue war efforts for as long as possible to stay in power. Zelyensky is polling at 16% and the majority of Ukrainians oppose the war.

Pls practice discipline in what/how you share information. Verify. Provide sources. Do not take rando telegram channels as gospel.

Someone who is more educated than me should assemble an effort post about the "Rebel Syrians" now that they're back in the western news cycle. Every mainstream outlet I've read has neglected to mention that they are basically Al Qaeda rebranded.

Looks like NATO and Ukraine are meeting on December 4th, wonder if this will lead anywhere

How bad will it be if the terrorists win in Syria? Will it be like Taliban controlled Afghanistan?

I don’t think the following is actually “true”, just describing it this way to get a point across:

It feels like, maybe two weeks ago, for the first time in years those involved at the absolute heights of imperialist power all got together in a smoky room and planned out their next moves. NATO has ratcheted up support for Ukraine in incredibly dangerous ways (for the first time in over 2.5 I’m starting to get genuinely concerned NATO will risk all out war with Russia). What’s going on in Syria has very obvious NATO and Israel coordination. Then there’s the ceasefire - which I am not a doomer about, but I have also been assuming there must be some sort of unwritten agreement to wind down the fighting in Gaza.

None of this is dooming, just that this all feels coordinated and very significant.

The empire strikes back.

The situation in Aleppo is an absolute disaster, there's no other away to describe it. I visited Aleppo last year, my aunt lives in Hayy Salah Al Deen near the big football stadium. I don't know if it's out on Twitter yet, but militants have entered her neighbourhood according to her messages in the family group chat and the local facebook groups. Corruption will fucking end the regime at this point, Assad honestly deserves this for not managing to control the corruption in the Army, and also for being an absolute incompetent shithead. Fucking hell man, life fucking sucks with all these disasters every single day. Disastrous situation on all levels, Aleppo was just starting to recover. I want to hit my head and sleep for an entire year to avoid reading this shit every single day.

Middle East Observer reports: A number of Syrian Arab Army soldiers and officers were wounded by exploding wireless devices, it is exactly the same method applied in Lebanon by "Israel". This, as we all know, happens in the midst of an offensive carried out by NATO-backed Salafist militants in Aleppo.

https://apnews.com/article/italy-labor-strike-services-meloni-budget-unions-0c14a99aba5e17f03bd4cb63dc6cb3f9

MILAN (AP) — Thousands of teachers, health care workers, trash collectors and others walked off their jobs across Italy on Friday to protest a decline in spending power, persistently low salaries and government policies they say have weakened public services.

Italy’s most powerful trade unions called the eight-hour strike and mobilized marches in cities across the country to target Premier Giorgia Meloni’s latest budget that they say penalizes schools, health care and other services. They also are pressing for a more equitable distribution of profits from private companies to workers.

The strike forced ITA airlines to cancel dozens of domestic and international flights, and hit schools, hospitals and local transport. Unions called for an eight-hour strike but Transport Minister Matteo Salvini imposed an injunction limiting the strike in the transport sector to four hours.

Any books on Syria, Iran, or the AoR to clarify the current situation?

Footage has emerged of civilians evacuating New Aleppo, in the western part of Aleppo city, as HTS fighters are set to advance into this area...

It's not going well for the Syrian army at the moment.

Danish Regime's Budget Agreement With Centre-Left: Militarism, Austerity and Tax Cuts With A Tiny Bit Of Welfare

Denmark's Social Democrat-led right-wing regime has finalized an agreement on next year's national budget in collaboration with the (greener less reactionary social democrats) Socialist People's Party and the (radlib centrist) Social Liberal Party. As the regime controls a majority of seats in the Nordic hermit kingdom's rubber-stamp parliament, the agreement reflects the government’s financial priorities, leaving minimal room for influence from its partners. The regime's overall budget plan, which includes significant expenditure for aggressive military buildup and a controversial reintroduction of tax deductions for home improvements, remains largely unchanged.

The budget allocates DKK 500 million for welfare initiatives, including a pilot project for school meal programmes, faster dementia diagnoses, and the elimination of co-payments for psychological support for victims of violence and abuse. Cuts to high school funding have been reduced following protests, though significant austerity measures affecting public sector jobs and agencies, including workplace safety and education, remain.

Labor unions and opposition parties argue that welfare improvements like school meals and parental leave improvements are overshadowed by DKK 10 billion in tax cuts set to begin next year. Critics also decry the continued underfunding of public services and cuts to vital insulations like the workplace safety authority and the central school supply repository.

The budget is notable for increasing military spending in line with NATO dictats and reinstating tax deductions for hone improvement that primarily benefits wealthier homeowners. Salary increases for government ministers and layoffs of 1,000 public sector workers have further fueled backlash.

The parties to the right of the regime left negotiations after not getting a large list of uncosted demands through that included a reduction in early releases and more military expenditure. The pro-democracy Red-Greens (democratic socialists) were thrown out of negotiations as the regime refused to accept their proposal to raise pensions. The small green radlib Alternative party was also excluded from negotiations.

The budget will undergo final parliamentary approval in December.

Syria is having a coup attempt?

It is fucking wild watching soft-left types suddenly become wildly pro-assad as they learn how important Syria is as a weapons supply route to Gaza and Syria.

They are becoming more pro-assad than I am and it's because of Palestine. These are people that would've screamed the word tankie if you said you critically supported assad before this war.

Could be bullshit but this is flying around, I find the last bullet point particularly interesting:

The West plans to introduce 100 thousand so-called peacekeepers to Ukraine - SVR

To solve its problems, the West will undertake the actual occupation of Ukraine under the guise of deploying peacekeepers, noted the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation.

❗️ Other statements:

▪️NATO is increasingly inclined to the need tofreeze the Ukrainian conflictin the absence of prospects for inflicting strategic defeat on Russia on the battlefield

▪️NATO is setting up training centers in Ukraine, through which it is expected to “drag at least a million mobilized Ukrainians”

▪️Under the guise of deploying a “peacekeeping contingent,” Ukraine is being occupied: its northern regions, including the capital region, will become a Great Britain zone, the center and east of the country - < b>Germany, western regions - Poland, Black Sea coast - Romania.

This has at least some possible merit?

No idea about the provenance of this blog and it is probably fanfic, but is intriguing:

All ground-level buildings and structures on this territory have been reduced to rubble, in some places-to small concrete rubble. There are no large craters, there are a dozen holes in the ground with a diameter of about two meters. Eyewitnesses describe the scene as creepy, apocalyptic. Security around the perimeter and on the territory withdraws all means of photo and video recording, even pens and notebooks are taken away. People tell us that "officials" who speak English, Polish, and French constantly arrive at the plant's territory in tightly tinted minibuses. They say that unknown ammunition hit just those underground production facilities that Vladimir Zelensky boasted about, telling about the imminent appearance of some "formidable missile weapons"in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. From the fragmentary conversations of rescuers, it seems that up to the 4th floor there is a zone of continuous destruction, below which rescuers have not yet been able to descend.

Grand Lake (New Brunswick) residents celebrate Liberal decision to go ahead with jail [https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/grand-lake-jail-liberals-1.7395898]

"We needed this. This is the best Christmas present ever. And we thank the premier so much," said resident Carol Smith

Nothing says Christmas like building a $66 million people cage :)

For context, current facilities are "overcrowded" because they keep pushing everyone into poverty and then criminalizing existing, so the Tories decided to build a big ol' jail. It was supposed to go in Fredericton (the capital), but people protested and it ended up going to Grand Lake. The Liberals were opposed to the project until they won the election, of course. Tory prisons are bad, Liberal prisons are good for the economy.

However in the meantime, they've been releasing "low risk" inmates, which has shown very directly that you can, in fact, just not have people be in the jails. Ah well, nevertheless.

Does/can anyone within Lebanon respond to Israeli violations of ceasefire?

Spanish police on Thursday said they had broken up a criminal network that used Ukrainian-made drones to fly hashish from Morocco to Spain, arresting 10 people.

The suspects based in southern Spain flew the drugs across the narrow Strait of Gibraltar separating Morocco from the Iberian Peninsula "using uncrewed aircraft", police said in a statement.

The devices were capable of transporting up to 10 kilograms (22 pounds) of drugs per trip with an autonomy of more than 50 kilometres (31 miles).

They were made by small-scale manufacturers in Ukraine and "transferred by road" to southern Spain, where they released the drugs and returned to Morocco without needing to land, they added.

Drone production has soared in the eastern European country in the wake of the 2022 Russian invasion.

I am making a prediction now, once Ukraine loses the war there'll be a flood of opinion pieces and articles about how Ukraine lost the war not because western weapons weren't as effective as thought but because the nation is just too corrupt to win against the clearly inferior russian and even worse soviet weaponry. We'll see articles and opinion pieces about how corruption led to weapons not being delivered and being sold. Or how mobilization efforts were undercut by corruption and so ukraine never had enough people to actually fight, how the ukranian military was corrupt and so it's commanders inept etc. etc.

The west gets to save face and also keep Ukraine out of their 'garden'.

Update on the Romanian elections, two of the losers made appeals to the Constitutional Court of Romania (CCR) to nullify the results of the first round of elections that put Călin (Independent, extremely dubious neolegionary who preaches an anti-war stance) and Lasconi (USR, the "we aren't the duopoly" party) in 1st and 2nd place, one accusing Elena Lasconi of voter fraud, who barely went ahead of the PSD candidate by about 2500 votes, the other accusing Călin of campaign finance fraud.

A popular theory is that this is a blatant attempt by those embedded within the Romanian political power structure to nuke the two candidates, especially Călin, and replace them with the ones in 3rd and 4th place, Marcel Ciolacu of PSD (the do-nothing party, one half of the PSD/PNL duopoly) and George Simion of AUR (reactionary irredentist party).

It seems that the first appeal went through the court and now all 9.2 million votes must be recounted, but appeal number 2 was rejected. Now if the previously mentioned theory was true then that plan completely blew up in their faces because if Lasconi was thought to have slim chances against Călin in the second round then there's no way in hell that Ciolacu would ever beat him if the recount successfully eliminated Lasconi from the race. Romania has officially entered some interesting times.

Extremely based pal action

maybe claudia got that lula skills:

I mentioned yesterday that Susan Holt (New Brunswick premier) was arguing for retaliatory tariffs against the US. This worked the last time, when Trump put tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminium.

Now there are think-pieces about retaliatory tariffs in CBC, and Freeland (finance minister/deputy PM) has said that Canada's response last time was "smart."

"Hufbauer suggested, target electric vehicle company Tesla, owned by billionaire Elon Musk who has become a significant Trump ally." [https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/tariff-canada-retaliate-trump-1.7394432]

Please target Tesla. That would be fantastic. Last time they targeted like, Heinz, lol.

On the other hand: "the federal government owns the Trans Mountain Pipeline, and although the supply contracts for those shippers on the pipeline are destined for Asia, that's not to say that Canada couldn't look at striking deals with U.S. refineries, Meredith said."

This feels like a likely route. Not to mention that the threat of tariffs is largely predicated on Canada not "securing" the border, so I expect we'll start to see a more militarized border between the US and Canada. Canada has already committed to increasing their border policing in cooperation with the US, including more militarization of the Arctic to combat Chinese and Russian "threats." The Beyond the Border Accord has long established joint policing forces, and pre-clearance agreements have put American police on Canadian soil. Earlier this year Trudeau also promised Biden to ignore Canada's responsibility to the UN Refugee Convention more than ever before and just shunt asylum claimants down to US detention centres for deportation.

Yup, stricter borders

CUPW (postal workers union) has stopped negotiating with Canada Post [https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-post-negotiations-talks-break-down-1.7394535].

As we get into the Christmas crunch, this puts massive pressure on Canada Post. No mail for Christmas? The government can't have that. CUPW knows this is really good leverage. The thing is, the last four times CUPW went on strike it was ended with back-to-work legislation; back in 2018 the legislation was tabled after a month of rotating strikes.

So we should expect to see back-to-work legislation soon, Canada absolutely loves making strikes illegal as soon as one actually has leverage.

One thing to consider with this: private couriers are absolutely using this opportunity to secure as many of the few remaining Canada Post contracts that exist as possible, which makes privatization a major leverage to be used against the union.

Another thing to consider: certain critical documents have been exempted from the strike (pension cheques for instance), however disability income and social assistance has not been exempted, which is some really scummy punching down. If you're going to do exemptions, deciding to placate the elderly who have pensions but not caring about the disabled or the very fucking poor is a cruddy choice.

BBC - Anger and distrust among displaced Israelis at ceasefire deal

But surrender is exactly what Netanyahu is being accused of by his political rivals - and some of his political allies too.

One poll yesterday suggested that more than 80% of Netanyahu’s support base opposed a deal, and residents in the north of Israel - large numbers of whom have been evacuated from their homes - are angry too.

Nationally, the picture was more split, however. One poll showed 37% of Israelis in favour of the ceasefire, 32% against and 31% saying they didn't know.

Rona Valency, evacuated from kibbutz Kfar Giladi on 8 October last year, told me she wanted to go home, and that a ceasefire was needed, but that the idea of Lebanese residents returning to these villages gave her “a real sense of unease and fright”.

From Kfar Giladi there are clear views of the Lebanese village of Odaisseh just across the valley.

“Apart from completely erasing these villages, and having no people there, there is no real physical thing that can make me feel safe. It’s just, you know, hope.”

We commend the pivotal role played by the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon in supporting Gaza and the Palestinian resistance, as well as the immense sacrifices made by Hezbollah and its leadership, foremost among them the martyred Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. We value the steadfastness of the Lebanese people and their ongoing solidarity with the Palestinian people in facing the zionist occupation and its brutal aggression. We ask Allah to safeguard Lebanon and its people from all harm.
The enemy’s acceptance of the agreement with Lebanon without achieving the conditions it had set represents a significant milestone in shattering Netanyahu’s illusions of reshaping the Middle East by force and his delusions of defeating the forces of resistance or disarming them.
We affirm that this agreement would not have been possible without the steadfastness of the resistance and the popular cradle that surrounds it. We are confident in the continued support of the Axis of Resistance for our people and their struggle through all possible means.
As we in Hamas closely follow the developments of this agreement in Lebanon, we express our commitment to cooperating with any efforts to establish a ceasefire in Gaza. We are keen to end the aggression against our people within the framework of the national terms agreed upon, which include a ceasefire, the withdrawal of occupation forces, the return of displaced persons, and the realization of a genuine and comprehensive prisoner exchange deal.
We take pride in and salute the epic steadfastness and resilience of our steadfast people in Gaza, who, for over a year, have been writing with their blood and sacrifices shining pages in the continuous history of our people's struggle. We stand with them as one body in the trenches of defending our land and confronting the enemy's schemes, pledging loyalty to them until the aggression ends.
We call on Arab and Islamic nations and the free forces of the world to launch serious and concerted efforts to pressure Washington and the zionist occupation to end its brutal aggression against our Palestinian people and halt the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
We reaffirm that the Palestinian people and their valiant resistance will remain on the covenant, adhering to our national principles and legitimate rights, defending their land and sanctities until the occupation is defeated, removed, and the independent Palestinian state is established with Al-Quds as its capital.

Denmark Seeks to Exploit War-Torn Ukraine for Economic Gain

Amid the ongoing devastation in Ukraine, Denmark is seeking to secure a foothold in the lucrative post-war reconstruction market. Despite the humanitarian crisis and widespread destruction caused by proxy war, Danish businesses and officials appear more focused on economic gain than solidarity.

Denmark appears intent on using the goodwill it has created by popping up the Kiev regime as leverage to dominate the post-conflict market. The windswept Nordic hermit kingdom recently sent its largest-ever business delegation to Ukraine, led by Morten Bødskov, the politically appointed head of the Social Democrat-controlled Ministry of Business. The delegation, comprising representatives from over 20 major corporations, sought to position Danish capital as pivotal to Ukraine’s rebuilding. Far from mere altruism, the Danish state has pledged USD 793 mln. to subsidize these ventures despite openly acknowledging that up to a third of the amount may be lost in the war—a calculated gamble in the pursuit of long-term profit.

One of the flagship participants in this venture is multinational brewing conglomerate Carlsberg, which already operates three breweries in Ukraine. Despite the ongoing war, Carlsberg’s CEO, Jacob Aarup-Andersen, described the country as one of its fastest-growing markets and announced plans to invest an additional USD 85 mln.

The financial motivations for Danish involvement in the war are difficult to ignore. Philipp Schrøder, an economics professor at Aarhus University, candidly acknowledged Ukraine’s "enormous economic potential" due to the destruction of its infrastructure and industrial base, which will necessitate extensive foreign capital for reconstruction.

Disgusting Pig People Mad About Trans Inclusion in Danish Football

The Danish football governing body, DBU, is considering the inclusion of transgender, intersex, and nonbinary players in amateur football. A 2023 proposal would allow players to self-identify their gender category, with safeguards to prevent misuse. This proposal, however, has met lukewarm support among clubs in the DBU Jutland region where a trial is being considered.

Serious happenings in Syria today, Syrian Rebels HTS launched an offensive and are right outside Aleppo, within 10km.

Just as the ceasefire has come into effect in Lebanon, there is renewed fighting in Syria. A coalition group known as HTS (Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham), made up of ex Al-Nusra (Al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria) groups and members, has started a large scale offensive in Aleppo against Syrian government held positions. The Russian and Syrian air forces are bombing HTS held positions heavily, along with artillery and drone bombardment by the Syrian army.

Former Mossad director, Efraim Halevy, defends Israeli medical assistance to Al Nusra Front fighters, Al Jazeera, 31 May 2016

Efraim Halevy, former director of Israel’s national intelligence agency, Mossad, speaks with UpFront:

• Believes there will be no “blowback” against Israel for “getting into bed with a group like Al Nusra Front.”
• Points out that Israel “was not specifically targeted by Al Qaeda”
• Says he would deny similar treatment to Hezbollah fighters, because “we have a different account with Hezbollah”
• Says “the immediate consideration is humane” but admits assistance to Al Nusra Front fighters could also be “tactical”

The tactical assistance appears to have arrived.

And how do we know this? Thanks to the actions of a Syrian resistance fighter who documented it all on social media, after coming out prison after 27 years.

Some quick uneducated observations on the Lebanon ceasefire:

• The Zionists were unable to achieve their military goals. In combination with the Al-Aqsa Flood this has effectively shattered the myth of the invincible high-tech master race. Zionists are incompetent loss-averse cowards. They can be beat.
• The zionists have no inhibitions to terrorism and barring occasional good but largely impotent measures like the ICC warrants the west and their "rules-based international order" is not going to rein their zionist dogs in. Rather they will support them materially, politically and diplomatically.
• Outside of settler society in occupied Palestine, zionism is an elite project. It has no popular support. Even in the imperial core where Islamophobia runs rampant and zionists are portrayed as humanised victims, most normal people sympathise with Palestine. The zionists are getting away with a lot but they have alienated a generation. Going forward they will have a harder time spreading their propaganda.
• The zionists' sense of security has been shattered. The Al-Aqsa Flood might have been stopped and Hezbollah might cease their operations but the sense of impunity is gone. Zionist installations and infrastructure is much more vulnerable to strikes from Iran, Hezbollah or even Yemen than before. Settlers can no longer expect war not to affect them personally.
• The Nazification of settler society combined with the lack of physical security is making settler life a lot less attractive if you're not a howling stormtrooper. Going forward the illegal zionist entity will find it harder to recruit new settlers and settlers who have viable options outside of occupied Palestine might choose them. It is a lot more fun being a a doctor in America than having your house bombed and your kid drafted to get blown up in a Merkava in occupied Palestine.
• Zionism is now perceived as a lot less safe investment by capital than before and they will face long-term economic consequences.
• Hezbollah failed to stop the genocide in Gaza. Without the Lebanese front to distract me the zionazis I am extremely worried about what they are going to do
• There has been some talks about a Gaza ceasefire being in the works. I doubt it. Genocide is baked into the zionist entity and the external pressure to stop it just decreased significantly. It is very hard not to be a doomer about it.

from Al Mayadeen (breaking news feed):

Iraqi Hezbollah Brigades: The ceasefire between the two fronts of the struggle in Lebanon and the Zionist entity would not have been possible were it not for the steadfastness of Hezbollah fighters.

The US enemy is the entity’s partner in all its crimes and must pay the price for that sooner or later.

One side of the Axis of Resistance taking a break will not affect the unity of the battlefields, rather new parties will join in to boost the arena of the sacred struggle.

We will not abandon our people in Gaza, no matter how great the sacrifices, regardless of the enemies’ threats, their treachery, and their criminality.

Netanyahu under a barrage of criticism after announcing a ceasefire with Hezbollah

Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime, following the announcement of the ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah, has been the target of sharp criticism from politicians and domestic media.

The absence of a clear tone in the ceasefire regarding the freedom of action of the Zionist regime army against the Lebanese Hezbollah is one of the provisions that have been criticized.

The officials of the Zionist regime had previously claimed that they wanted to include a clause in the ceasefire agreement that would allow the regime's army to act against Hezbollah in case of a ceasefire violation. Channel 12 of the regime's TV says that the current agreement does not contain explicit provisions in this regard.

Yair Lapid, the leader of the opposition to Netanyahu's cabinet, said that the Israeli cabinet was forced to make this agreement after a year of war with Hezbollah.

He said: "The northern communities have been destroyed, the lives of the residents have been destroyed, the army is tired and at the same time you are pushing desertion laws."

This agreement also has critics from within the cabinet, and Itmar Ben-Gvir, the minister of internal security of the regime, has described it as a "historical mistake that failed to achieve promises"

Israel is continuing to bomb major cities in Lebanon (in Bekaa, Beirut, Tyre) along with the southern villages and border crossings with Syria, while continuing to release "evacuation orders" for residential buildings. The ceasefire is supposed to come into effect within the next two hours, it seems as if Israel is trying to cause maximum destruction before they won't be able to anymore, and for the genocidal entity that means murdering as many people as possible and terrorising civilians.

With the IDF on the cusp of annexing the West Bank and half of Gaza this ceasefire seems like a potential disaster for the Palestinian people. I have absolutely no idea how Hezbollah is faring, or what is happening in Lebanon. I don't want all of the brave fighters in the resistance to be killed, but I hope this is the right call

I know some people have been asking about EZLN updates. A friend sent me a photo of a flyer that Schools for Chiapas recently sent out which I will transcribe, and I will link the group's most recent blog post below. It's not quite the update that people are looking for, I don't think, but it's better than nothing imo.

Another mile marker along the road. Another leg in the relay. Another year in our collective struggle for a world in which many worlds can fit. Along the way we look back at our own journey, evaluate our progress, and alter our pace, shedding the forms and the ways of being that do not serve our compassionate respect for difference, our vocation of freedom and justice, our defense of life. This year, another cycle of the politics from above comes to a close, posing new obstacles to our shared vision, shifting the terrain under our feet. But we, inspired by struggles for humanity and life around the globe, compañerxs, will remain undeterred.

The work from below and to the left continues, taking new and creative forms. The examples of indigenous communities, as ever on the front lines, weave the strands of resilience and autonomy, defying the forces that seek to divide us. We must take time to gather our strength, to nurture ourselves and our communities, to listen to one another, and to care for the seeds we have sown. And in this process, we find the next steps along the path.

As another year comes to a close, we wish you a regenerative season to do just that.

In 2024, as the Zapatista caracoles were closed to outside collaborations in order to reorganize, we expanded our accompaniment to work with other kindred communities organized in alignment with this shared vocation of justice and dignity. These relationships of mutual learning, growing organically from our collaborations over devades, offer opportunities for the co-mingling of perspectives and the synergy of skills.

This year, with you generous support, we have:

• Organized and facilitated three workshops in herbal medicine and health autonomy with the Mujeres en Rebeldía de Costa.
• Supported 2 regional gatherings of women defenders of land and territory.
• Offered over 20 workshops with community education promoters in training.
• Systematized and developed curriculum to expand our work in education to more communities.
• Provided orientation and preparation for 11 groups of BriCo volunteers in collaboration with Frayba Human Rights Center.
• Hosted biweekly public conversations on indigenous resistances in the Mexican Southeast including analysis on the current political context, migration, human rights and more in Sendas, our collaborative community space in San Cristóbal.
• Published weekly translated news updates and calls to action through our blog.
• Worked with autonomous artisans' collectives in the development, marketing and distribution of products, both in Sendas and through our online store.
• Promoted and garnered support for displaced communities and the unjustly incarcerated and supported local calls to action through Sendas.
• Raised funds to build, and supported the construction of a new community schoolhouse.

Thank you for walking beside us, for joining us in this journey. As always, we are humbled and honored to have your support.

From the blog:

Compañerxs, this year has presented indigenous communities throughout Chiapas with extreme threats to their physical, material and spiritual well-being. On October 16th, the EZLN denounced a series of aggressions, supported by authorities from the municipality of Ocosingo, against one of its support base communities 6 de Octubre, announcing that they would be severing all communications for the foreseeable future. Then on October 20th, the murder of Padre Marcelo, a beloved priest and defender of life, delivered a knife to the heart of the people. Two weeks later 20,000 people came out in the streets of San Cristóbal to demand justice and an end to the violence.

In the organized indigenous communities of Chiapas and Mexico, we see important models of sustainable autonomy and a struggle which places the defense of territory on the frontlines of the confrontation between the plunder of the Earth and its care. Like these courageous peoples, we must organize to cultivate those spaces of support and strength both in our communities locally and internationally. We share the collective responsibility of caring for one another, and of protecting this beautiful planet we call home.

Can anyone send me that Barbara Pit Massacre get in the pit video? Having a hard time finding it anywhere.

Here's what will happen in Lebanon in the next 24 hours or so according to what I'm hearing from resistance sources and family on the ground in Beirut:

• Israel have bombed Beirut for possibly the final time

• Hezbollah will bomb Tel Aviv and Haifa in the next hour or so, as a final middle finger and reminder to the Israeli public

• Israeli forces are already retreating from their furthest advance.

• A ceasefire will be announced tonight or tomorrow

• Hezbollah will not withdraw from the South, this is just on paper so that the Israelis can save face

• Gaza will be addressed very soon as well, the agreement is that the PA takes symbolic control of Gaza, but Hamas remains inofficially

This is a major Israeli defeat, there's no other way to look at this. They failed in disarming Hezbollah, failed in establishing a security zone along the border, failed in crippling Hezbollah's capabilities, failed in reaching the Litani River and the act of war failed to return the settlers to the north, only this ceasefire will make it happen. May Allah have mercy on Sayyid Nasrallah and all the martyrs. One thing hurts though despite my happiness about the fact that we have defeated Israel for the 3rd time after 2000 and 2006, it feels like a small betrayal of Sayyid Nasrallah's words about the complete rejection of any separation between the fronts in Gaza and Lebanon. The genocide in Gaza should've been stopped before we sign anything.

Edit: Israel are bombing Dahiya south of Beirut now, expect a final retribution from Hezbollah soon

Alleged Hamas members accused of planning military operations in western Europe

The pro-zionist German regime is charging four men with criminal offences relating to Palestinian resistance activities in Western Europe. Allegedly the four men were active Hamas resistance fighters, maintaining weapons depots for potential military operations against on zionist and western targets. One man is accused of creating and inspecting weapon caches in Bulgaria and Denmark and transporting firearms to Germany. All four are linked to failed attempts to locate another weapons stash in Poland.

The German regime believes these activities were part of Hamas’ broader strategy to prepare for military operations, citing targets such as the so-called "embassy" of the illegal zionist entity in Berlin and U.S. military installations. The suspects were arrested in December 2023 and remain imprisoned.

Reuters - Oct 2024 - How fentanyl traffickers are exploiting a U.S. trade law to kill Americans

IN JANUARY 2023, U.S. federal agents raided the home of a Tucson maintenance worker who had a side hustle hauling packages across the border to Mexico.

They estimate that over the previous two years, the gray-bearded courier had ferried about 7,000 kilos of fentanyl-making chemicals to an operative of the Sinaloa Cartel. That’s 15,432 pounds, sufficient to produce 5.3 billion pills – enough to kill every living soul in the United States several times over. The chemicals had traveled by air from China to Los Angeles, were flown or ground-shipped to Tucson, then driven the last miles to Mexico by the freelance delivery driver.

U.S. lawmakers inadvertently turbocharged this problem as part of the 2016 legislation by loosening a regulation known as de minimis. Individual parcels of clothing, gadgets and other merchandise valued at up to $800 – one of the highest such limits in the world – now enter the country duty-free and with minimal paperwork and inspections. Fully 90% of all shipments now enter the country this way

America’s ports of entry are now so jammed with these packages, most of them from China, that just a tiny fraction of the nearly 4 million de minimis parcels arriving on U.S. shores daily are inspected by U.S. Customs. Security officials say that has made it easy for Mexican traffickers to sneak in small boxes of fentanyl ingredients from China disguised as mundane household items. Even modest amounts of these chemicals, known as precursors, can produce vast numbers of pills.

Traffickers then route these precursors south to Mexico

Danish Leader Dodges Question on Netanyahu's Arrest

In Denmark's rubber-stamp parliament today, an MP from the small, pro-democracy Red-Green party asked the reclusive Nordic kingdom's social democrat leader leader Mette Frederiksen whether she supports the arrest warrant for Zionist war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu. Specifically, the MP inquired whether Netanyahu would face arrest if he set foot on Danish soil. Frederiksen’s answer, as expected, was brief, evasive, and devoid of clarity:

"Denmark is a supporter of the International Criminal Court. We still are. In relation to specific situations, it would be a question for the authorities. That is the general answer I’m going to give."

Following this non-response, an MP from the moderate liberal Alternative party pressed further, asking if Frederiksen’s views on Netanyahu had shifted. The Prime Minister's answer was both absurd and confrontational:

"If Denmark was being attacked by Hamas, I promise you that Denmark would defend itself. Of course, you have to look out for civilians and I would want 'Israel' to do more."

Later that day in a statement to journalists about the German regime's claims that the Palestinian resistance movement has been storing weapons in Denmark Frederiksen, who have expressed pro-zionist views on several occasions, claimed that "the hate Hamas have to 'Israel' they also have to the rest of us".
