U.K., Canada and Australia formally recognize a Palestinian state, breaking with the U.S.

NBC News

LONDON — The United Kingdom, Canada and Australia officially recognized Palestine as a state on Sunday, marking a significant shift in foreign policy and a step away from their alignment with the United States, with several other European nations and U.S. allies set to follow suit this week.

“Today, to revive the hope of peace for the Palestinians and Israelis, and a two state solution, the United Kingdom formally recognizes the State of Palestine,” British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said in a statement.

Canada had, moments before, become the first Group of 7 nation to recognize the state of Palestine, as Prime Minister Mark Carney promised a "peaceful future for both the State of Palestine and the State of Israel."

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese released a statement shortly after formally recognizing "the independent and sovereign State of Palestine."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said: “We will have to fight both at the UN and in all other arenas against the false propaganda against us and the calls for the establishment of a Palestinian state that will endanger our existence and constitute an absurd reward for terrorism. The international community will hear from us on this matter in the coming days.”

Netanyahu accused the foreign leaders of giving a “prize” to Hamas.

“It will not happen,” he said. “A Palestinian state will not be established west of the Jordan River.”

Imagine There Was A Violent Cult Committing Atrocities with Impunity

Caitlin Johnstone

Imagine there was a violent cult that used scriptures from an ancient religion to convince its followers to do evil things.

Imagine the cult was given its own state.

Imagine the cult was given machine guns, tanks and war planes.

Imagine the cult obtained nuclear weapons.

Imagine the cult started committing genocide against the indigenous people who’d been living in the area where the cult’s state was established.

Imagine the cult had huge branches in the most powerful nation on earth, and the powerful nation defended the cult no matter what it did.

Imagine the cult flipped out and started relentlessly attacking and invading the surrounding nations.

Imagine the cult had so much influence and support in western society that western governments and institutions would censor, silence, fire, marginalize and deport anyone who criticized the cult’s actions.

Imagine the western media sympathized highly with the cult and spent the entire time framing its atrocities as entirely reasonable defensive actions, and framing critics of the cult as malicious bigots.

Imagine the cult kept getting crazier and crazier and more and more violent, but nobody could find a way to stop it because its actions were backed by this giant western power structure.

That’d suck, huh?

Israeli trade relations collapse amid war on Gaza, global boycotts

Al Mayadeen.net

“Israel’s” trade relations are suffering a serious deterioration in recent weeks, with deals and meetings being canceled even with historically “friendly” nations, amid an atmosphere of secrecy and embarrassment.

Israeli exporters have revealed that companies in Europe and the United States have refused to renew export contracts, while marketing networks have announced a halt to the import of Israeli products “until further notice.”

In this context, Ynet reported that a delegation of experts from the Moody’s rating agency visited Tel Aviv and left with very worrying impressions of the possibility of a rating reduction soon. One official said, “It will be a miracle if a reduction is not made within two weeks.”

A senior economic official who met with Moody’s representatives pointed to extreme concern over the massive rise in defense spending during the war on Gaza, confirming it represents a critical turning point.

The official warned that the Israeli government could lose all control over budget management, threatening a huge rise in the deficit and an accumulation of debt.

IMPORTANT: COVID Vaccine “Safe and Effective” Narrative Collapses on Camera

Vigilant Fox/Global Research

This is an important article focussing on the Senate Hearings chaired by Senator Ron Johnson pertaining to “Covid Vaccine Injuries”

Introductory Comment

What should be underscored is that the Senate hearings confirm what was known to the FDA, the CDC and the NHS pertaining to the incidence of Covid-19 mrNA “vaccine” mortality and adverse events from the very outset in early 2021.

The evidence of mortality and adverse events resulting from vaccine inoculation both present (official data) and future (e.g. undetected microscopic blood clots) is overwhelming.

A confidential Pfizer report (declassified under Freedom of Information in October 2021) was revealed to official governmental entities (FDA, CDC, and NHS) in early 2021. This report which emanated from the Horse’s Mouth confirms unequivocally that Pfizer’s  mRNA jab was a “killer vaccine”. 

In a twisted irony, the data pertaining to adverse events and mortality revealed in this controversial “insider report” refuted the official vaccine narrative peddled by the governments and the WHO. It also confirmed the analysis of numerous outspoken medical doctors and scientists who from the outset revealed the devastating consequences of the mRNA “vaccine”. 

The Pfizer Confidential report was a bombshell. The vaccine was launched in mid-December 2020. By the end of February 2021, “Pfizer had already received more than 1,200 reports of deaths allegedly caused by the vaccine and tens of thousands of reported adverse events, including 23 cases of spontaneous abortions out of 270 pregnancies and more than 2,000 reports of cardiac disorders.”

The data from mid-December 2020 to the end of February 2021 unequivocally confirmed “Manslaughter”. Based on the evidence, Pfizer as well as the CDC, FDA and NHS had the responsibility to cancel and withdraw the “vaccine”.

Pfizer’s Worldwide marketing of the Covid-19 Vaccine beyond February 28th, 2021, is no longer an “Act of Manslaughter”. From a legal standpoint it is an “Act of Murder” applied Worldwide to a target population of 8 billion people. Sofar more than 70 percent of the World’s population have been Covid-19 vaccinated.

Israel moves to embrace its isolation

Abdaljawad Omar | Mondoweiss

Benjamin Netanyahu's recent comments that Israel must start making its own weapons and become a self-sufficient "super Sparta" signals that the small colony might be willing to embrace its isolation — all in the name of annihilating Palestine.

History in the small colony of Israel has a way of circling back on itself, presenting old dilemmas in new clothing. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent remarks — warning of Israel's growing isolation and the need to evolve into a kind of "super-Sparta" with an autarkic economy — echo back across decades. To hear him speak of a self-reliant arms industry freed from the grip of foreign politics is to hear the ghost of the Lavi fighter jet, haunting Israel's present.

In the 1980s, the Lavi project embodied Israel's quest for independence in the skies. Washington served as both patron and skeptic, underwriting its development while questioning its logic. Why, American officials asked, should Israel pursue its own advanced fighter when U.S.-made F-16s were cheaper, readily available, and already battle-tested? The Lavi's story became a paradox: an ally's money nourished the dream, while the same ally's strategic interests sharpened the knife that would kill it.

That paradox has not vanished.

Jimmy Kimmel Suspended 'Indefinitely' After Pushing Charlie Kirk Propaganda

Comment: Kimmel is a bottom-feeder but now we have the right embracing cancel culture with no irony at all....

----- 

Zero Hedge

The now-former late-night talkshow and Podesta pal will be 'preempted indefinitely" following overt propaganda regarding the killing of Charlie Kirk, an ABC spokesperson told Deadline. The show will be replaced by other programming. 

During his opening monologue on Monday, Kimmel suggested that Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old suspect in the assassination of Kirk last week at Utah University - was a conservative, when all indications point to the exact opposite.

"The MAGA Gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it," Kimmel said, adding "In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving."

ABC's announcement came shortly after Nextar Media Group announced that its company-owned and "partner television stations affiliated with the ABC Television Network will preempt ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ for the foreseeable future beginning with tonight’s show."

Hours earlier, FCC Chair Brendan Carr told Benny Johnson that Kimmel's comments were "truly sick," and that there's a "strong case" for legal action against both ABC and Disney (ABC is a Disney subsidiary).

Study of biochips found in COVID-19 vaccines parts 1-3. Part 1 - Based on photos by David Nixon. Dr. Diana Wojtkowiak

Ana Maria Mihalcea, MD, PhD | Humanity United Now

It has been several months that I have posted on my Substack. Dr Diana Wojtkowiak sent me her new research papers which provide revolutionary new insight into the microchips deployed via the COVID19 injections and their origins. Geniuses are always ridiculed by average minds, and of course most civilian scientists who have been assimilated into the cybernetic hive mind cannot comprehend concepts outside of their limited box, and so they mostly busy themselves working to destroy those who do have minds that can reach beyond current known scientific boundaries and understand concepts that are decades ahead of current human understanding - but very much used in black military projects. 

 

I have studied Torsion Physics for years, and have a Chapter about it in my book “Light Medicine - A New Paradigm - The Science of Light, Spirit and Longevity.” published in 2021. Torsion was called by Astrophysicist Dr Nikolai Kozyrev the density of time and described a physics of the ether - understanding information transfer faster than the speed of light. I have been waiting for a confirmation of my own work such as these revelations by Dr Wojtkowiak. I will post the articles in their entirety, due to their importance for the survival of the natural human species. I have said from the first time that Dr David Nixon showed me the self assembly nanotechnology under the microscope that this technology is not from here. My own research journey was about bringing forth information that preserves the human soul from being hacked by this alien technology, which lead me to write 2 books about the topic called Transhuman - The Real COVID19 Agenda and Transhuman Vol 2 - Overcoming the Depopulation Agenda.

BREAKING STUDY: First Direct Evidence of mRNA "Vaccine" Genomic Integration Identified in Stage IV Cancer Patient

Nicolas Hulscher, MPH | The Focal Points

Vaccine DNA plasmid-derived Spike gene sequence integrated into chromosome 19 with perfect 20/20 bp identity — accompanied by widespread genomic dysfunction.

For years, public health agencies and pharmaceutical companies insisted it was “impossible” for COVID-19 mRNA injections to alter human DNA. They dismissed all concerns as “misinformation,” offering no evidence to back their assurances.

Today, that narrative collapses.

In our sentinel case report, Genomic Integration and Molecular Dysregulation in Aggressive Stage IV Bladder Cancer Following COVID-19 mRNA Vaccination (Dr. John A. Catanzaro, Nicolas Hulscher, and Dr. Peter A. McCullough; a Neo7Bioscience–McCullough Foundation collaboration), we document—for the first time—direct molecular evidence that genetic material from a COVID-19 mRNA “vaccine” has integrated into the human genome.

Stolen Homeland: Genetics Debunk the Zionist Myth of “Return”

Muhammad Hamid ad-Din | New Eastern Outlook

 

Israelis tell us and the entire world from the podiums of the UN, on television screens, and in the pages of the global press: “We have returned home.” 

“A Tiny Peaceful State Against Arab Hordes”

This Zionist lie is not just a distortion of reality; it is a grotesque propaganda narrative, meticulously constructed and lavishly funded to justify blatant colonial expansion. Apologists for this myth paint a picture of an Israeli David fighting against an Arab Goliath, deliberately ignoring the fact that the roles were reversed long ago, and that “David,” with the West’s help, possesses one of the world’s most advanced nuclear arsenals and a military equipped with cutting-edge technology.

This “tiny peaceful state” is, in practice, the most powerful military enclave, whose drones, tanks, and total surveillance system control every square meter of historic Palestine—from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. This is not self-defense; this is a classic military occupation, lasting for decades and being the longest in modern history. They are the ones building walls, shutting out those whose lands they have annexed. It is their high-ranking ministers and members of parliament who openly dream of a “new Nakba” and call for “erasing entire cities” in the Gaza Strip, putting into practice the long-standing Zionist slogan of “driving the Arabs into the sea.”

Billionaire Bill Ackman Convened Stormy Israel 'Intervention' With Charlie Kirk, Sources Say

Max Blumenthal | The Grayzone

 

A month before Charlie Kirk's killing, billionaire pro-Israel moneyman Bill Ackman arranged an intervention in the Hamptons during which sources say he and others "hammered" Kirk for the conservative leader's growing criticism of Israeli influence in Washington. Kirk came away fretting about Israeli "blackmail," sources say, as he contemplated a Catholic conversion.

On September 11, one day after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, billionaire pro-Israel moneyman Bill Ackman took to Twitter/X to trumpet his relationship with the late conservative operative. "I feel incredibly privileged to have spent a day and shared a meal with @charliekirk11 this summer. He was a giant of a man."

The Grayzone has spoken to five people with intimate knowledge of Kirk's meeting with Ackman, which was held in early August. According to one source, Kirk was left upset after the gathering turned into an "intervention" where he was "hammered" for his increasingly skeptical views on the US special relationship with Israel, and for platforming prominent conservative critics of Israel at his TPUSA events.

Since publishing this report, The Grayzone has learned from one attendee of the Hamptons event that Ackman convened the influencers under the auspices of a discussion about Zohran Mamdani and the supposed threat he posed to the West if elected mayor of New York. But the meeting went off the rails when Ackman personally confronted Kirk about his views on Israel. The public face of UK Lawyers for Israel, Natasha Hausdorff, joined in the argument, and began "screaming" at Kirk, according to the attendee.

When his hosts presented him with a detailed list of every offense he supposedly committed against Israel, Kirk was "horrified," said one person. Ackman also allegedly demanded Kirk rescind his invitation for Tucker Carlson to speak at his upcoming America Fest 2025 in December.

"The whole thing was a disaster," said an attendee.

The Grayzone reported on September 12, citing a longtime associate of Kirk, that Netanyahu had offered to organize a massive infusion of pro-Israel money into TPUSA, and that Kirk refused. Another longtime friend of Kirk has told The Grayzone that the conservative activist also rejected an offer Netanyahu delivered two weeks before his death to meet with him in Jerusalem.

Kirk, according to one person with inside knowledge of the meeting with Ackman, said he left feeling as though he'd been subjected to "blackmail."

In a series of text messages with The Grayzone, Ackman described these accounts of his meeting with Kirk as "totally false." He pledged to release a public statement providing his own account of the event, but refused The Grayzone's request for clarification or further details. He would not accept phone calls from this reporter.

"I think I can easily put this to bed," Ackman promised, "I have receipts as they say." He did not abide when asked to provide the so-called "receipts."

In an apparent bid to reinforce the pro-Israel tone at the Hamptons meeting, Ackman hosted a coterie of pro-Israel operatives and conservative influencers at the off-the-record engagement. One was Instagram influencer Xaviaer DuRousseau of Prager U.

Reached by phone by The Grayzone, DuRousseau sounded flustered when asked about his presence at the meeting. He repeatedly demanded to know how this reporter obtained his number, and eventually hung up, refusing to answer questions about the event.

Several Instagram posts by DuRousseau show him and his friend, conservative influencer Emily Wilson, in the Hamptons on August 8 outside Topping Rose House, a posh hotel and restaurant in Bridgehampton, New York.

It's not LEFT OR RIGHT, it's all about PSYOPS : Charlie Kirk: The Crucial Learnings From his Death...and The Perpetrators Exposed

Charlie Kirk Refused Netanyahu Funding Offer, Was 'Frightened' By Pro-Israel Forces Before Death, Friend Reveals

The Grayzone | Max Blumenthal and Anya Parampil

 

A Trump insider and longtime friend of Charlie Kirk tells The Grayzone how the assassinated conservative leader’s turning point on Israeli influence provoked a private backlash from Netanyahu’s allies that left him angry and afraid. The source said anxiety spread within the Trump administration after an apparent Israeli spying operation was uncovered.

Charlie Kirk rejected an offer earlier this year from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to arrange a massive new infusion of Zionist money into his Turning Point USA (TPUSA) organization, America’s largest conservative youth association, according to a longtime friend of the slain commentator speaking on the condition of anonymity. The source told The Grayzone that the late pro-Trump influencer believed Netanyahu was trying to cow him into silence as he began to publicly question Israel’s overwhelming influence in Washington and demanded more space to criticize it. 

In the weeks leading up to his September 10 assassination, Kirk had come to loathe the Israeli leader, regarding him as a “bully,” the source said. Kirk was disgusted by what he witnessed inside the Trump administration, where Netanyahu sought to personally dictate the president’s personnel decisions, and weaponized Israeli assets like billionaire donor Miriam Adelson to keep the White House firmly under its thumb.

According to Kirk’s friend, who also enjoyed access to President Donald Trump and his inner circle, Kirk strongly warned Trump last June against bombing Iran on Israel’s behalf. “Charlie was the only person who did that,” they said, recalling how Trump “barked at him” in response and angrily shut down the conversation. The source believes the incident confirmed in Kirk’s mind that the president of the United States had fallen under the control of a malign foreign power, and was leading his own country into a series of disastrous conflicts.

By the following month, Kirk had become the target of a sustained private campaign of intimidation and free-floating fury by wealthy and powerful allies of Netanyahu – figures he described in an interview as Jewish “leaders” and “stakeholders.” 

“He was afraid of them,” the source emphasized.

Workers being fired for celebrating Charlie Kirk assassination

Inappropriate comments about Charlie Kirk assassination gets workers fired

A growing number of individuals are facing professional consequences, from being fired or placed on administrative leave, for public comments they made in the wake of the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.

After the 31-year-old CEO of Turning Point USA was shot and killed during an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday, a growing list of political leaders, business figures and media outlets across the spectrum condemned the political violence.

But others cited Kirk's political views as a reason not to mourn his death, which critics argued minimized or excused the violence. At the same time, others used it as an opportunity to highlight the rise in shootings, particularly those claiming the lives of children.

MSNBC political analyst Matthew Dowd was seen as the first of many figures to face consequences for his comments, but the list quickly grew.

Israel has attacked six countries in the past 72 hours

Al Jazeera | Marium Ali and Alia Chughtai

In just three days, Israel has carried out strikes in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Tunisia, Qatar and Yemen.

 

On Tuesday, Israel launched a targeted air strike on a Hamas leadership compound in Qatar's capital, Doha, during a meeting to discuss a US-proposed ceasefire for Gaza.

The strike killed six people, including the son of senior Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya, the director of al-Hayya's office, three bodyguards and a Qatari security officer. However, its top leaders are reported to have survived the attack.

The attack was part of a wider wave of Israeli strikes extending beyond its immediate borders, and marked the sixth country attacked in just 72 hours and the seventh since the start of this year. 

Israel continues to bombard Gaza

Israeli attacks across Gaza have killed at least 150 people and injured more than 540 others since Monday.

On Monday, 67 people were killed and hospitals received 320 wounded, including 14 people killed while seeking aid, while six people - among them two children - died from famine-related causes. On Tuesday, another 83 people were killed and 223 were injured.

Israel is continuing its assault on Gaza City, targeting high-rise buildings, destroying infrastructure, and forcing residents from their homes, leaving many with nowhere safe to seek shelter.

Since its onset in October 2023, Israel's war on Gaza has killed at least 64,656 people, [a far more probable figure is at least half a million] including at least 404 who have died of starvation. Thousands more have been lost under the rubble and are believed to be dead.

Conservative activist Charlie Kirk dies after being shot at Utah college event

Comment: Right before he was shot, he was asked: "Do you know how many mass shootings there have been in America over the last 10 years?" Moments later the sound of a rifle. If that wasn't a lingusitic trigger I don't what is. No doubt this was a professional shooter from 200 yards away. And just after Trump scolds Israel for hitting Qatar.

They really want this civil war...

AP

OREM, Utah (AP) — Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist and close ally of President Donald Trump, was shot and killed Wednesday at a Utah college event in an act that drew renewed attention to the threat of political violence across the United States.

The death was announced on social media by Trump, who praised the 31-year-old Kirk, the co-founder and CEO of the youth organization Turning Point USA, as “Great, and even Legendary.”

“No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie,” Trump posted on his Truth Social account.

The suspected shooter has not been arrested, Orem, Utah, Mayor David Young said. A person who was taken into custody by law enforcement at the university where Kirk was speaking was not the suspect, according to a person familiar with the investigation who was not authorized to speak publicly.

Videos posted to social media from Utah Valley University show Kirk speaking into a handheld microphone while sitting under a white tent emblazoned with the slogans “The American Comeback” and “Prove Me Wrong.” A single shot rings out and Kirk can be seen reaching up with his right hand as a large volume of blood gushes from the left side of his neck. Stunned spectators are heard gasping and screaming before people start to run away. The AP was able to confirm the videos were taken at Sorensen Center courtyard on the Utah Valley University campus.

Qatar, 9/11 and the increasingly inevitable Israeli heel turn

Comment: Interesting new angle by Knightly. 

------- 

Off-Guardian Org | Kit Knightly

 

Yesterday, Israel conducted strikes on the Qatari capital city of Doha, allegedly targeting (and supposedly killing) key members of the Hamas leadership.

An unprovoked attack in direct violation of another nation's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Textbook breaking of international law.

This is not unusual. Israel's contempt for international law is nothing new and is far from under-reported.

The wrinkle is the response from world leaders, which has been somewhat chillier than you'd expect.

The attacks were roundly criticised by puppets the world over - Canada's Mark Carney, Britain's Keir Starmer, Australia's Albanese, France's Macron and more.

In her State of the Union address, EU Chief Ursula von der Leyen warned the EU should "consider our bilateral support" for Israel.

Even Donald Trump's White House distanced themselves from the plan, which is as close to a full repudiation as you'll get from that quarter.

Earlier in the week, the Spanish government announced they were closing their airspace and naval ports to any planes or boats carrying weapons to Israel.

Expressing anti-Israel sentiment is becoming more and more common on a political stage where support for Palestine was once purely the domain of Cuba, Venezuela and other designated "enemies" of The West.

Israel is responding by doubling down, unleashing further strikes - this time on Yemen - earlier today.

French hospitals told to prepare for war in Europe by next year in leaked Government letter

Comment:  "One section of the manual recommended closing doors in the event of a nuclear accident". 

Nuclear missile incoming!!! It's alright honey, just close the patio doors, we'll be ok.

Idiocracy reigns.  Moreover, we might get the sense that US-NATO deep state powers are planning a major false flag in Europe possibly using a smart nuclear device. 

 Recent attempts to draw Poland into the war is an indication... 

----- 

The Independent | Steffie Banatvala

French hospitals have been told to prepare a potential armed conflict in Europe by next year, local media reported.

In a letter sent to regional health agencies, revealed by Le Canard Enchaîné, the Ministry of Health asked hospitals to prepare for a "major (military) engagement" by March 2026.

The newspaper warned that between 10,000 and 50,000 men could be expected in hospitals over a period of 10 to 180 days.

"In the current international context, it is necessary to anticipate the modalities of health support in situations of high-intensity conflict," the Ministry of Health reportedly wrote in the document. Health Minister Catherine Vautrin did not deny the details outlined in the letter or its existence in an interview with French broadcaster BFMTV. She told the broadcaster:

"It's part of preparation, like strategic stockpiles, like epidemics. I wasn't in office at the time of Covid-19, remember, there were no words harsh enough to describe the country's lack of preparedness. It is perfectly normal for the country to anticipate crises and the consequences of what is happening. This is part of the responsibility of central government."

The letter, dated 18 July, reportedly said France could form the rear base for a large-scale conflict in coming months. It added that the Ministry of Health is considering setting up medical centres near ports or airports so that soldiers can be "redirected" to their home countries.

The document comes just months after France outlined plans to send a 20-page 'survival manual' to every household.

The manual reportedly laid out instructions on preparation for an "imminent threat", including a natural disaster, health crisis or armed conflict. The French government said at the time it is not focussed on armed conflict.

It also suggests items people should have as part of a "survival kit", including at least six litres of bottled water, 10 cans of food, a torch, batteries, and medical supplies including saline solution, compresses and paracetamol.

One section of the manual recommended closing doors in the event of a nuclear accident.

In July, President Emmanuel Macron announced a plan to push forward France's defence spending, pledging to double the military budget by 2027.

A military budget that stood at 32 billion euros ($37.40 billion) in 2017 will rise to 64 billion euros by 2027, with an additional 3.5 billion euros allocated for next year and another 3 billion euros in 2027.  

Police arrest almost 900 at London protest supporting banned group Palestine Action

Comment: Police whining about being shouted at, punched, kicked and spat on is the ultimate irony. Try experiencing life in what's left of Gaza. THAT'S  "intolerable". No policemen or women with any moral integrity would stay in a force that penalises people for standing against the slaughter of innocents.

WCPO

British police said Sunday that they arrested almost 900 people demonstrating in London against a ban on the group Palestine Action, which has been deemed a terrorist organization by the government.

Almost 1,600 people have now been detained, many for silently holding signs supporting the group, since it was outlawed two months ago. Protesters say the ban on Palestine Action is an unwarranted curb on free speech and the right to protest.

British police said Sunday that they arrested almost 900 people demonstrating in London against a ban on the group Palestine Action, which has been deemed a terrorist organization by the government.

Almost 1,600 people have now been detained, many for silently holding signs supporting the group, since it was outlawed two months ago. Protesters say the ban on Palestine Action is an unwarranted curb on free speech an the right to protest.

The Metropolitan Police force said 890 people were arrested at Saturday's demonstration, the vast majority, 857, under the Terrorism Act for supporting a proscribed organization. Some 33 were detained for other offenses, including 17 for assaulting police officers.

Defend Our Juries, the campaign group organizing the protest, said 1,500 people took part in the demonstration outside Parliament, sitting down and holding signs reading “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action.”

Within minutes, police began arresting the demonstrators, as bystanders chanted “Shame on you,” and “Met Police, pick a side, justice or genocide.” There were some scuffles and angry exchanges as officers dragged away demonstrators who went limp as they were removed from the crowd.

“In carrying out their duties today, our officers have been punched, kicked, spat on and had objects thrown at them by protesters,” said Deputy Assistant Commissioner Claire Smart, who called the abuse directed at police “intolerable.”

Remember Iryna Zarutska: When does murder get ignored? When the victim is white and the killer black

RT | Henry Johnston 

The US mainstream media tends to operate by encouraging a certain prefabricated outrage. Sensationalized narratives are cultivated along predictable tracks. But no less egregious is what the media chooses to ignore. Few events of late have better exposed the ideological underpinnings of the media - and of the elite whose narratives it plugs - than the recent brutal and shocking murder of a young Ukrainian woman on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina.

On August 22, a career criminal, Decarlos Brown Jr., casually walked up behind 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, who was seated on a train minding her own business, and stabbed her three times in the neck in cold blood, killing her. He sauntered away, still clutching the knife dripping blood.

The mindless and savage attack was captured on surveillance footage, but Charlotte's Democratic Mayor Vi Lyles pushed for it not to be released, ostensibly out of respect for the victim's family. But the footage did eventually surface, and the story spread like wildfire. But this was a wildfire that couldn't reach the impervious redoubt of the mainstream media - even after Elon Musk gave it the push into viral territory by chiming in on an End Wokeness thread pointing out the stunning media silence. 

In fact, not a single major legacy outlet - the New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, Reuters, CNN, Wall Street Journal, and others - picked it up...

Trump surprised Israel no longer has 'total control over Congress,' warns Gaza war hurting global support

Comment: Trump has lost the little credibility that he had with these statements. And Israel controlling Congress is a good thing?? Israel must really have a serious hold on him.

------ 

Fox News

President Donald Trump said Friday that Israel's support in Congress and around the world has declined in recent years.

In an interview with The Daily Caller, Trump said that because of left-wing U.S. politicians rallying against Israel and the growing unpopularity of its war in Gaza, the country is losing influence.

"Israel, you would understand this very much, Israel was the strongest lobby I've ever seen. They had total control over Congress, and now they don't, you know, I'm a little surprised to see that," he said.

Trump, who has been a strong ally of Israel during his presidency, defended Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza but said he has observed how it has hurt the country's global image.

"So, they're gonna have to get that war over with. But it is hurting Israel. There's no question about it. They may be winning the war, but they're not winning the world of public relations, you know, and it is hurting them."

He recalled how criticizing Israel was never as common as it is today, as high-profile Democratic members of Congress — including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. — who have criticized the war in Gaza and accused the country of killing innocent Palestinians.

"There was a time where you couldn't speak bad, if you wanted to be a politician, you couldn't speak badly. But today, you have, you know, AOC plus three, and you have all these lunatics, and they've really, they've changed it," he said.

Orange Man Dead?

ericpetersautos.com | Eric Peters

 

There are rumors that Trump's health isn't good. More than just rumors. Facts. It was disclosed a few weeks back that he suffers from chronic venous insufficiency, which isn't serious per se but does suggest he may have serious underlying problems and this is just a manifestation of them. Bruises have been spotted on his hands, too. They look like the bruises people on blood thinners tend to get. People who are on blood thinners tend to be people with serious chronic underlying problems.

Then there is the fact that he's been out of the public eye for about four days now. This is unusual for Trump, who - unlike Biden - likes to be in front of the cameras and likes to banter with the press.

 

It smells of something's wrong.

It is also something that goes deeper than whatever may be wrong with Trump. People who are old enough to remember the old Soviet Union in its declining days remember that just before it fell, it was run by a succession of old men. Some of them looked worse than the pickled corpse in the mausoleum they stood atop to wave at the crowds below.

And here we are, again.

Comment: Trump has been under the kind of enormous, relentless pressure over years that most people could never imagine, let alone handle. He is almost 80 years-old and the last decade may be catching up with him. Expect a hospital visit and the probability he might not come out.
