Yeah, but it wasn't a random accidental death based on numbers. Lib-organiser designated 'peacekeepers' tried to murder a leftist protestor for walking down the street open carrying (which is legal and they always did) and killed a bystander in the process as well as shooting him. The lib organisers, the 'peacekeepers' involved', and the police they worked together in an attempt to cover it up, smear the innocent open-carrying protestor they'd tried to murder as "an evil and depraved domestic terrorist" and mass shooter, and then slapped a murder charge on them despite them being the only living victim. And they're still trying to obsfuscate and cover it up, despite video coming out that shows what really happens and destroys their lie.

It was even worse than that. A leftist protestor and regular fixture at actually organising events was open carrying as they always did and was their legal right. Two 'peacekeepers' designated by the 'protest' organisers took it upon themselves to murder him in cold blood as he simply walked along the street, gun not raised, no intimidation etc (despite them lying about that until the video came out). He was hit and ran for his life and in their efforts to finish the job the 'peacekeepers' then shot another totally uninvolved protesting bystander. The organisers and 'peacekeepers' then conspired with the police to smear the victim of their attempted murder as a mass shooter and domestic terrorist, getting him slapped with a murder charge for the bystander they shot dead. They've only backed off this smear and attack narrative now that video has come out showing what actually happened. But orgnanisers are still refusing to acknowledge it, while protecting the identities of the 'peacekeepers', refusing to answer questions, and deleting or drowning out questions or criticism across their various online platforms.

Exactly this. Spontaneous, locally focused restistance to not just ICE raids but any militarised law enforcement was popping off organically with an increasing move towards organising local defense.

Then the libs come in with their Walmart & Democratic party sponsorship, turn it into a cop-friendly teaparty while actively harrassing actual organisers for things like Black Panther merch, wearing masks, or displaying keffiyehs (two of the organisers are dedicated zionists), drawing people away from the actual neighbourhoods that are in need of defense to their Instagram oppurtunities in city centres instead, before commiting to a coverup with the help of police after their armed designated 'peacekeepers' killed a protestor and tried to murder another before conspiring with law enforcement to smear him as a mass shooter and terrorist and pinning a murder charge on him.

We shot one of our protestors as a bystander while shooting and actively trying to murder another of 'our' protestors before working with the police to cover up the crime and smearing the victim as a "depraved and evil domestic terrorist" and a mass shooter, despite the video evidence to the contrary, but no one broke a bank window so... SUCCESS!

Libs will fucking murder you rather than see a bin set on fire and then pat themselves on the back.

Yeah. Even if I'd changed it on Hexbear the punchline would still show on clickthrough anyway so shrug-outta-hecks

 

A silly (but biting) sketch for a dark time.

Pretty much zero chance this was a mistake.

The mayor and most of the Dutch establisment at the time lined up to denounce and smear their own citizens, claiming pogroms and 'jew hunts' despite anyone with a Twitter account or in a Euro football Whatsapp group being able to plainly see the opposite. A hardcore of Maccabi fans went into predominently Muslim areas to vandalise businesses, houses, and attack people on the street why shouting racist slogans. When people fought back Israel cried pogrom.

We know that members of the Israeli intelligence state travelled at the very least with the team, if not the fans. Israeli state propoganda had already been ramping up bogus repots based on Maccabi fans starting trouble at previous games. Israel has a long history of funding far right football hooligans across Europe, and here in the UK where they've historically backed 'Tommy Robinson' and his EDL as well as other groups, to act both as destablising forces, to target Muslim populations, and to push Islamophobic narratives that Jewish people are only safe in Israel.

Even the fights in the stands of stadiums were well documented and filmed, showing Israeli fans instigating, ganging up on local fans who were on the floor, and at one point even scrapping with a member of security. Politicians and people from the club and competition then went on television and said the exact opposite happened, completely ingnoring the footage and providing no evidence for their own assertions. When fans tried to contact the stadium security and police with video and information, they were told they didn't want it.

Not high, unless they manage to succeed in arguing it on a technicality about the planning and consultancy process. But while they're saying that's the issue legally, they're also very publicly shouting about woke and the devil.

This group has been doing some version of this for a couple of decades and they nearly always lose their court cases. They claim it doesn't matter because the point is that Christian voices need to be heard etc. But that's not why they really do it. They bring these cases for two reasons:

  1. to recruit & build further connections (already worryingly extensive) political and general far right connections - which they've historically been good at
  2. to waste an enormous amount of time and money for institutions they deem as being too liberal, too weak, and not fascist enough - councils, schools, charities etc

Fucking hell, Christian Concern.

These awful cranks aren't just a silly evangelical Facebook group, they're a well funded and very politically connected hate group (but mostly mask on) that's been around for easily 20 years here in the UK. I remembered them popping up all over the place in the late 2000s and 2010s especially and thought there was a documanetary about them at some point. I was right. It's called "In Gods Name" and it's a Channel 4 investigation from 2008. Here's a Yewtube link

They put on an OK front despite some very silly 'everything we don't like is evil and the devil's work' rhetoric that rightly sounds unhinged. But they definitely were, or later became, well connected with some extremely mask-off fascist 'Christian' orgs, especially in Europe. I seem to remember a pretty close Geert Wilders connection as well as with other far right parties and groups through their connections in the Conservative and UKIP (Reform precursor) parties here in the UK.

The other prominant ghoul from that side of the political NGO-matrix I remember them counting as a member was Sam Solomon who is one of these 'Christian convert from Islam' grifters who spent decades writing deeply racist books about secret Islamic plots to infiltrate the 'civilised white Western nations' via immigration in order to take over via the weakness of liberalism paired with terrorism and institute sharia law and white genocide. Sam Solomon isn't his realy name as far as I know and he definitely had all sorts of suspiciously pominant politic, media, and financial backing while he was doing his brown-washing schtick for actual Islamophobic neo-Nazi groups like 'Tommy Robinson's EDL and PEGIDA in Europe.

It seems he's far from the only one either, as I've just found this article from Hope Not Hate (they have their issues too, but they are good at tracking the far right players here in the UK) on the network of explicitly racist, far-right, anti-Muslim actors connected to Parliment a few years ago that was all but ignored by most of the press and politicians. You can read it here if you're interested.

That'd be a twofer. Two billionaires off the street in once swarm.

It's also, as usual, total bullshit. Accepting things like gay rights but only for the members of your ethnosupremicist cult and its most vocal supporters isn't support of gay rights. Especially when your state actively targets, humilates, exploits and deliberately gets gay people killed from outside your fascist 'in group' as a matter of state policy.

 

There's an enormous media and social media push at the moment to lionize the two Israeli embassy 'diplomats' killed. Everything from tearjerking jagoff stories about how he'd just proposed to the more prominent and seemingly constructed narrative that he was at this event trying to 'help' the situation in Gaza and 'talk about how to get aid to Palestinians'.

That's a fucking lie. He was exactly the sort of fucking ghoul you'd expect. And we can tell this in part because they haven't scrubbed his Twitter or all of his articles yet (although Google results state that a number of results for him have been removed under the EU 'right to be forgotten' law, so no doubt it's underway).

First of all, he was a German-Israeli citizen who volunteered who seems to have volunteered for the IDF.

Secondly, according to people he'd worked with and studied under, he was a Christian Zionist with a rabid love for the Israeli political project in particular.

His views were as you'd expect. A vile, smug, hasbara operative who spent both his personal and professional time spreading genocide apologia, barefaced Israeli lies, conspiracy theories about the UN, attacked & vilified aid organisations before & after Israel killed their workers, and rejected international law when the ICC & ICJ didn't tow the line.

Right up to the final hours before he was killed, he was retweeting statements denying starvation Gaza and calling it 'blood libel'.

Was he fuck working on aid solutions. He was an ideological Zionist fascist and a genocidal freak who had fun helping to perpetuate it. He should be remembered as such.

 

Wait, we are?

I have no idea why this tweet appeared at the top of my feed today, but since it did I thought I'd share.

(CW! Ableism/R-slur in Tweet)

Angelica Oung is a Taiwanese neoliberal "China Watcher" online who churns out anti-China content and was apparently embarrassingly starstruck by the Halo mask YouTube guy. Only she (and others judging by the responses) are now saddened by the fact that Noah Smith has turned out just to be a racist idiot who publicly accuses them of having been turned by Chinese spies if they suggest a source that has anything to do with China, even on other subjects, and who'd get mad and bullying if they didn't support his completely made up conclusions.

Full tweet below:

SMH, Noah, I thought we were friends.

Let’s rewind: the year was 2020 and I was a little no-name business reporter from the Taipei Times tweeting out my articles and takes. Noah Smith reached out on DMs to chat. Followed me a retweeted a few times. I was star struck! Wow! Noah Smith noticed lil ol me! I just about doubled my follower count!

My friends in LA were so excited I was noticed by public intellectual Noah Smith. Wow, Angelica! You really made it! Do you think you’ll get to meet him? Oh sure, I replied. He’s very interested in Taiwan. When he comes to visit and I think he will, I’ll be his one-woman welcoming committee.

Noah did reach out frequently to ask questions on Taiwan, but increasingly it seemed to me that he was asking for confirmations for his pet theories and would be vaguely annoyed if I don’t affirm them. Importing massive quantities of Vietnamese mercenaries to defend Taiwan? I dunno Noah. Are Vietnamese mercenaries a thing? What about the language barrier?

There’s a Peter Zeihan-like quality about Noah. He seems really smart on things I knew nothing about and gradually became more ignorant as he approaches my area of expertise (Taiwan and energy). Still…I was astonished that he blocked me when I pushed back in public on the idea that all you need for a modern grid is solar and batteries.

That’s fine. At some point he unblocked me cuz we were invited to the same conference. And I was always careful not to get blocked again until he was asking for good sources on India/Pakistan last week and I said a lot of the sinosphere accounts have been good and early.

His responded with “I’m going to go back through your tweets to find out exactly when you got turned.” And then I got blocked…again.

I’m sure Noah wasn’t the only one who blocked me or I lost credibility with because I’ve compromised my integrity by passing on “Chinese propaganda.” I don’t know to what extent I’m cancelled, but I do notice a very different lineup of regular commenters under my post these days. And that makes me sad.

Because the people who used to follow me and boost me when I was enthusiastically participating in Taiwan’s vapid COVID-era aura farming online are the ones who needs to read me now the most, or they’ll keep getting China wrong. But they won’t.

Hey! Peter Zeihan and Gordon Chang are still at it so I’m sure being chronically wrong on China won’t hurt Noah’s career either!

In a way, they’re more pathetic than grifters because at least grifters have agency. These guys don’t even know that they’re wrong…I think. Their natural removedation just so happens to fill the spiritual need of an anxious and arrogant west as they look to China’s rise.

 

Former guerrilla, teacher, philosopher, and President of Uruguay José ‘Pepe’ Mujica, has died aged 89. In musical memorium, here's 13 minutes of afrobeat featuring one of his speeches (excuse the automated translation):

We promise a life of waste and waste. Deep down, it is a countdown to nature and humanity. Civilization against simplicity, against sobriety, against all natural cycles, against all natural cycles

But worse

"civilization" against the freedom of having time to live from human relations the only thing transcendent: love, friendship, adventure, solidarity, family...

Today is the time to start fighting to prepare a world without borders

The globalized economy has no other drive than the private interest of very few

The great task for our peoples, in our humble way of seeing... is the whole

It would be imperative to achieve planetary consensus

To unleash solidarity towards the most oppressed

Tax-catching waste

And the speculation

Mobilize the great savings

Not to create disposable

With calculated obsoleence

But useful goods, no frivolities

To help lift the world's poorest

Yes, the high politics intertwined with wisdom

Our time is potentiously revolutionary

As you have not known the history of humanity

But he has no conscious driving.

Or less driving simply instinctive

Much less still

Organized political driving

Because we haven't even had precursor philosophies

We need to govern ourselves, or we succumb

This is our dilemma

Let's think about the underlying causes.

In the civilization of waste

In the civilization of insisting that what you are throwing away is time for wasted human life

Squandering on useless issues

Think of human life as a miracle

That we are alive by miracle

And nothing is worth more than life

And that it is our biological duty, and above all things

Respect life and drive it."

He certainly did.

 

Solidarity in finality that has lived in my head since their first record.

I did a silly thing while stuck on hold for over an hour at work.

 

 

A mural in Milan dedicated to Davide "Dax" Cesare, a young militant of the ORSo community center who was stabbed in a fascist ambush, that also goes incredibly hard.

Genuinely radical, working-class, left unity punk with an empowerment message, who also name drop the likes of Vladimir Tatlin and aren't afraid to talk theory in interviews.

Best punk band in Britain for the last decade, hands down.

 

Ripped from the pages of that dreadful zine someone posted the Reds Under The Bed & How To Stop Them In Your Org! guide from, I present... a whiny teenage livejournal post about how mean the "left" are (which apparently also includes hardcore Zionists braying for blood) and what a terrible place it is to be for smol bean climate activists.
