Knowing their personalities and backgrounds, I have been braced for something to happen between them from the beginning. Per my research on Elon and his bio, Elon was emotionally rejected by his father and bullied for his differences at school. So, I assumed his adult foibles were likely rooted in emotional strongholds. I could see Elon's exuberant support of Trump as risky, but I hoped and prayed for the best. I still do. Both are exceptional.

Sparse transformers avoid loading and computing activations with feed forward layer weights whose outputs will eventually be zeroed out. Itโs a lossless approach as these weights anyway do not contribute in the current token prediction.
This technique results in 2x faster LLM performance using 30% less memory.
I make no predictions; I am not a historian, or a seer. But this little mishigas between The Big Boss and Elon? Kinda feels staged for a purposeโฆjust way too overt. It makes for great theaterโฆand a fun way to divert and deflect. Iโm sure the dems are over the moon, but the BFF love will be right backโฆas will Lil X in the Oval Office.

BTW, I pour out the exact same seed mix in a ground feeder which he could access without the Tarzan moves; I think he just enjoys swinginโ in the breeze.
I simply gave up. The squirrels always win. They have limitless time to puzzle out solutions, they're athletic as impossible hell, reckless, and willing to spend far more time at this than me.
Get ready- 1 bill to bring SOPA (ie a US censorship regime geared at giving the copyright cartels the ability to censor anything they want) back wasn't enough, so they've introduced 2 bills now and they've done a good job at keeping it secret to avoid criticism until the last minute. They are going to try and force its passage by mitigating the ability of the people to know what is in it and push back, so speak up and write your congress critters !!!!!
And don't think the VPN or switching DNS providers is necessarily going to get you around the censorship either cause they've got provisions for that too.
Republican House Representative Darrell Issa is working on the introduction of the 'American Copyright Protection Act' (ACPA), a new bill that would enable copyright holders to request site blocking orders against foreign pirate sites.
Communists did house everyone. The world made fun of the "ugly" cement apartment buildings Khrushchev built. This article is truthful. Life inside a Kiev Khrushchyovka: #Soviet architecture in #Ukraine. Now how do they live?
Who invented homelessness? Ronald Reagan. Enough said. The only "homeless" in the US were by choice: they lived in the gutters of West Madison street in Chicago, because cheap booze was handy. The worst thing #Reagan did was to conflate the #Homelessness he created with the wandering winos. Many thousands in the US are impoverished and can not afford housing, or cheap booze. Thank the Nazi who flew Fascism from the #WhiteHouse flagpole.
@indyradio homelessness has always existed under capitalism, and while Reaganomics certainly accelerated the decline, let's not pretend this wasn't a problem before that.
You have not seen the worst.I can remember what I saw in 1984. When Reagan turned all the mental patients in North Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, no one was prepared. By 1987, it was a different world. Outside of the metropolis, smaller cities were destroyed by "austerity". Iit was literally a War On the Poor, and it continues.

Ukraine has seen nearly one-fifth of its Internet space come under Russian control or sold to Internet address brokers since February 2022, a new study finds. The analysis indicates large chunks of Ukrainian Internet address space are now in the hands of shadowy proxy and anonymity services that are nested at some of Americaโs largest Internet service providers (ISPs).
The findings come in a report that examines how the Russian invasion has affected Ukraineโs domestic supply of Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) addresses. Researchers at Kentik, a company that measures the performance of Internet networks, found that while a majority of ISPs in Ukraine havenโt changed their infrastructure much since the war began in 2022, others have resorted to selling swathes of their valuable IPv4 address space just to keep the lights on.
For example, Ukraineโs incumbent ISP Ukrtelecom is now routing just 29 percent of the IPv4 address ranges that the company controlled at the start of the war, Kentik found. Although much of that former IP space remains dormant, Ukrtelecom told Kentikโs Doug Madory they were forced to sell many of their address blocks โto secure financial stability and continue delivering essential services.โ
โLeasing out a portion of our IPv4 resources allowed us to mitigate some of the extraordinary challenges we have been facing since the full-scale invasion began,โ Ukrtelecom told Madory.
Madory found much of the IPv4 space previously allocated to Ukrtelecom is now scattered to more than 100 providers globally, particularly at three large American ISPs โ Amazon (AS16509), AT&T (AS7018), and Cogent (AS174).
Another Ukrainian Internet provider โ LVS (AS43310) โ in 2022 was routing approximately 6,000 IPv4 addresses across the nation. Kentik learned that by November 2022, much of that address space had been parceled out to over a dozen different locations, with the bulk of it being announced at AT&T.
IP addresses routed over time by Ukrainian provider LVS (AS43310) shows a large chunk of it being routed by AT&T (AS7018). Image: Kentik.
Ditto for the Ukrainian ISP TVCOM, which currently routes nearly 15,000 fewer IPv4 addresses than it did at the start of the war. Madory said most of those addresses have been scattered to 37 other networks outside of Eastern Europe, including Amazon, AT&T, and Microsoft.
The Ukrainian ISP Trinity (AS43554) went offline in early March 2022 during the bloody siege of Mariupol, but its address space eventually began showing up in more than 50 different networks worldwide. Madory found more than 1,000 of Trinityโs IPv4 addresses suddenly appeared on AT&Tโs network.
Why are all these former Ukrainian IP addresses being routed by U.S.-based networks like AT&T? According to spur.us, a company that tracks VPN and proxy services, nearly all of the address ranges identified by Kentik now map to commercial proxy services that allow customers to anonymously route their Internet traffic through someone elseโs computer.
From a websiteโs perspective, the traffic from a proxy network user appears to originate from the rented IP address, not from the proxy service customer. These services can be used for several business purposes, such as price comparisons, sales intelligence, web crawlers and content-scraping bots. However, proxy services also are massively abused for hiding cybercrime activity because they can make it difficult to trace malicious traffic to its original source.
IPv4 address ranges are always in high demand, which means they are also quite valuable. There are now multiple companies that will pay ISPs to lease out their unwanted or unused IPv4 address space. Madory said these IPv4 brokers will pay between $100-$500 per month to lease a block of 256 IPv4 addresses, and very often the entities most willing to pay those rental rates are proxy and VPN providers.
A cursory review of all Internet address blocks currently routed through AT&T โ as seen in public records maintained by the Internet backbone provider Hurricane Electric โ shows a preponderance of country flags other than the United States, including networks originating in Hungary, Lithuania, Moldova, Mauritius, Palestine, Seychelles, Slovenia, and Ukraine.
AT&Tโs IPv4 address space seems to be routing a great deal of proxy traffic, including a large number of IP address ranges that were until recently routed by ISPs in Ukraine.
Asked about the apparent high incidence of proxy services routing foreign address blocks through AT&T, the telecommunications giant said it recently changed its policy about originating routes for network blocks that are not owned and managed by AT&T. That new policy, spelled out in a February 2025 update to AT&Tโs terms of service, gives those customers until Sept. 1, 2025 to originate their own IP space from their own autonomous system number (ASN), a unique number assigned to each ISP (AT&Tโs is AS7018).
โTo ensure our customers receive the best quality of service, we changed our terms for dedicated internet in February 2025,โ an AT&T spokesperson said in an emailed reply. โWe no longer permit static routes with IP addresses that we have not provided. We have been in the process of identifying and notifying affected customers that they have 90 days to transition to Border Gateway Protocol routing using their own autonomous system number.โ
Ironically, the co-mingling of Ukrainian IP address space with proxy providers has resulted in many of these addresses being used in cyberattacks against Ukraine and other enemies of Russia. Earlier this month, the European Union sanctioned Stark Industries Solutions Inc., an ISP that surfaced two weeks before the Russian invasion and quickly became the source of large-scale DDoS attacks and spear-phishing attempts by Russian state-sponsored hacking groups. A deep dive into Starkโs considerable address space showed some of it was sourced from Ukrainian ISPs, and most of it was connected to Russia-based proxy and anonymity services.
According to Spur, the proxy service IPRoyal is the current beneficiary of IP address blocks from several Ukrainian ISPs profiled in Kentikโs report. Customers can chose proxies by specifying the city and country they would to proxy their traffic through. Image: Trend Micro.
Spurโs Chief Technology Officer **Riley Kilmer **said AT&Tโs policy change will likely force many proxy services to migrate to other U.S. providers that have less stringent policies.
โAT&T is the first one of the big ISPs that seems to be actually doing something about this,โ Kilmer said. โWe track several services that explicitly sell AT&T IP addresses, and it will be very interesting to see what happens to those services come September.โ
Still, Kilmer said, there are several other large U.S. ISPs that continue to make it easy for proxy services to bring their own IP addresses and host them in ranges that give the appearance of residential customers. For example, Kentikโs report identified former Ukrainian IP ranges showing up as proxy services routed by Cogent **Communications **(AS174), a tier-one Internet backbone provider based in Washington, D.C.
Kilmer said Cogent has become an attractive home base for proxy services because it is relatively easy to get Cogent to route an address block.
โIn fairness, they transit a lot of traffic,โ Kilmer said of Cogent. โBut thereโs a reason a lot of this proxy stuff shows up as Cogent: Because itโs super easy to get something routed there.โ
Cogent declined a request to comment on Kentikโs findings. posted by pod_feeder

Timecodes: 00:00 Intro 00:57 Aesthetics and build quality 03:59 Performance & battery life 08:11 Ports & I/O 09:21 Display, Webcam & Speakers 11:12 Keyboard and Touchpad 13:25 Available configs 16:06 Support the channel
It's matte black, made entirely out of aluminium, and it houses a 15.3 inches display. In terms of dimensions, we're talking 34cm of width, 2.2 cm in height at its highest point, and 24.5 cm in depth, for a total weight of 2.1kilos.
As usual, the branding is very light on Tuxedo computers, you have the usual Tuxedo logo laser etched on the lid, although you can have whatever logo engraved here.
As per the build quality, the laptop is the usual fare for aluminium: it feels really good when resting your palms on it, it feels solid, it doesn't bend, it has very little flex, apart from the middle of the keyboard, it's a really solidly built computer.
So, this thing packs either an AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS, or an Intel core i7 14650HX. I have the AMD model here, so that's what I'll be testing. Do note that the Intel model can also have an i9 14900HX.
So, in Geekbench 6, that AMD CPU reached 2614 in single core, and 12686 in multi core.
This is coupled with an Nvidia GPU, not matter if you decide to go the Intel or AMD route, you get an Nvidia RTX 4060, or a 4070 if you prefer that.
For Shadow of the tomb raider, at the maximum settings, the game reached 94 FPS n average. Lowering details down to medium, it reached 106 FPS. And finally, for Horizon, on Ultra settings, then game reached 53 FPS on average, and on medium details , it went up to 71 FPS.
As per battery life, this Stellaris Slim 15 has a 99Wh battery, meaning it's rated for up to 13h of battery life. In my testing, on hybrid mode, meaning the integrated GPu was used mostly, I could get up to a tiny bit under 7H30 of looped video playback on youtube, at mid brightness, over wifi.
This laptop offers on the left side: one USB A 3.2 Gen 1 port, and one USB C 3.2 Gen 1, plus an audio jack. On the right side, you get an SD card slot, and 2 USB A 3.2 gen 1 ports. And on the back, you have a minidisplay port 1.4, which is hardwired to the dedicated Nvidia GPU, and supports GSync, you have a USB C 3.2 gen 2 port, hardwired to the integrated GPU, it also supports charging the laptop. There's also an HDMI 2.1 port, that connects to the Nvidia GPU and also supports G Sync, plus a 2.5 gig ethernet port and the usual barrel charger.
As per the display, it's a 16:10, 15.3 inches display, at a resolution of 2560 by 1600. It supports 240Hz or 60hz, and it's an LED display. It supports adaptive sync, it has a brightness of 500 nits, and a contrast ratio of 1000 to 1, and it supports 100% of SRGB.
The bezel around the display are minimal, and you have the usual webcams, a full HD 1080p one, that an record at 30FPS. It's not too potato quality, but it's also not great.
The speakers, though, aren't bad, they have some amount of bass, they do not peak or vibrate the chassis of the Stellaris Slim 15, and they sound pretty crisp to me, they're really solid.
And to conclude, we have the keyboard. Most of the keyboard is full sized, with small function keys, but functional normal keys even though this here is a german layout that I just can't get used to. The numpad is cramped and compressed, and it makes it hard to use for me.
As per the touchpad, it's glass, it's extremely smooth, and while it's still a diveboard mechanism, so you need to press at the bottom half of the thing to click, it's really, really good. Gestures on Wayland and Plasma feel awesome, the click feels solid, the sound of the click is good as well, it's a great touchpad for any laptop.
The base AMD model with 16 gigs of RAM, the RTX 4060 and 500 gigs of PCIe 3 SSD comes at a bit less than 1700 euros, including the usual 20% european VAT, so it's like 1400 euros without taxes. You also get Wifi 6 and bluetooth 5.3 with that.

00:00 Intro 00:28 Sponsor: 10% off your first website with Squarespace 01:22 What is Tuxedo OS? 02:24 Better hardware support and drivers 04:06 Semi-Rolling: the best of both worlds 05:03 Tuxedo Control Center 06:32 Other changes 07:49 Is it any good? 08:49 Stellaris 16: Linux gaming laptop 13:56 Tuxedo OS on a Tuxedo PC
Tuxedo OS is a semi-rolling release Linux distro that Tuxedo makes, and is freely available to download on any computer.
Tuxedo OS comes with KDE plasma, it gets rid of snaps, they have their own repos for additional drivers and apps, they have a hybrid rolling release model for the desktop and drivers, they have their own custom kernel with better hardware support, and a few very useful utilities.
The repos contain their custom kernel, which include patches that they tested and implemented before the mainline kernel, so newer hardware works better. The fixes they develop themselves are also mainlined of course.
The Tuxedo OS repos include more up to date drivers, they have firmware for their own devices, they have packages for web browsers that Ubuntu only provides as Snaps, and for a few up to date apps that aren't in the Ubuntu repos, or are outdated.
While the base system and base packages are from Ubuntu, they ship drivers, a linux kernel, and the KDE plasma desktop on a rolling release model, which means you're always getting the latest versions of your KDE apps and desktop, and a recent kernel version, and the associated drivers.
Tuxedo OS also embarks the Tuxedo Control center. It's an open source graphical app that lets you set your power profile, between a few presets, like extreme powersave, high performance, quiet, and more. You can also change the battery charging options to improve the battery's lifespan.
Tuxedo OS enables os-prober. In the boot options, you'll find a web based reinstall option as well.
The Stellaris 16 is the latest entry in the Stellaris line. It comes with a 16:10 2560 x 1600 panel, that has very vivid colors, 350 nits of brightness, and perfect viewing angles. It can also refresh at 240hz.
You can pair that with an RTX 4060 Mobile, or up to a 4090,.
RAM options go from 16 GB of 4800Mhz DDR5 to 64 gigs of 5600mhz DDR5, and for storage, you can get up to 2 4terabytes PCIE 4 SSDs.
In terms of ports, you get 2 USB A 3.2gen 2 ports, one USB A 3.2 gen 1, a full size SD card slot, a headphone jack,, the ports for the Aquaris cooling sytem, HDMI 2.1, 2.5 gigs ethernet, and Thunderbolt 4.
The keyboard is really excellent, with good key travel, and a quiet sound. You can also get it with a mechanical keyboard.
THe touchpad isn't glass, but it's very smooth, even though it's really small for this form factor.
Speakers are decent, with a good amount of bass, but they'll start saturating at max volume. They're bottom firing so if you place the laptop on a soft surface, you'll muffle them easily.
And the mic and webcam are potato quality as is unfortunately too often the case.
As per battery life, you get a 99Wh battery, on the powersave mode, using the integrated GPU, it lasted for 7 hours with youtube videos playing in a loop over wifi in Firefox, with the display at 240hz.
So, on a Tuxedo computer, you get a few cool things on top of the default Tuxedo experience.
You can control the color and brightness of the keyboard backlight, you can control the webcam, and its resolution, framerate, brightness, contrast, exposure, dynamic range, color balance.
TOMTE automatically recognizes the model you're using, and it checks for the drivers and packages that will give you the best experience.
00:00 Intro 00:22 Unboxing 02:04 Design & Build Quality: solid and beautiful 03:49 Specs & Configuration Options: make it your own 06:17 Display: good panel, not a fan of the resolution 07:28 Keyboard & Touchpad: excellent 08:27 Webcam, Mic & Speakers: decent 09:36 Performance & battery life: all day workstation 11:36 This is the template for all Linux laptops 13:14 Support the channel
The chassis is a magnesium / aliminium alloy. It's really sturdy, but also really lightweight. My review unit came in black, and retains no fingerprints. You can also get it in silver if you prefer. In both cases, it's 1.7cm thick, and 1.3kg.
The laptop can be opened, and upgraded, you can switch out the RAM and the SDD as you like, with dual channel RAM slots, and an m.2 slot that supports PCIe4 drives.
My review unit came with a french azerty keyboard, but they have a lot of different layouts, and you can even send them your own to be laser etched, or have a blank keyboard. The super key has a cartoony tux logo, but you can ask for you own super key as well.
You can add an Nvidia RTX 3050ti to turn the laptop into a real workstation. In terms of ports, on the left side, you get the usual kensington lock, a USB C 3.2 Gen 2 port, which supports display port 1.4 and power delivery, a USB A 3.2 Gen 1 port, a full size SD card reader, and a 2 in 1 audio jack.
On the right, you have the barrel charging port, an HDMI 2.0b port, a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port, and a thunderbolt 4 port, which also supports display port 1.4 and power delivery.
The display is a 3K panel, at 2880 by 1800, in a 16:10 aspect ratio. It's 14 inch, and has an anti reflective coating.
It covers 99% of sRGB, 74.7% of AdobeRGB, and 81.1% of DCI-P3. It goes up to 400 nits, the contrast ratio is 1500:1, and it runs at 90hz.
The keyboard feels really good. It's a chiclet style keyboard, with black keys, whether you have the black, or the silver variant. It's backlit, and has a tux super key that you can customize, as I said before.
The touchpad feels awesome, it's super smooth, covered in glass, and it's a joy to use with gestures, it's precise and responsive, and it clicks well.
The webcam goes up to 1080p30, and while it will need some amount of light to not be too grainy, it's far from the worse I've seen.
The microphone is a bit better. You'll need to lower the default gain, but the voice is clear, and you can't really hear fan noise, although it will pick up on touchpad clicks and keyboard presses. It's really not bad for a laptop mic.
As per the speakers, they're bottom firing, and they're also decent. They're not tinny, they don't distort at high volumes, and they get loud enough. Nothing fancy, but they do the trick perfectly for a youtube video or a movie.
The 12700H is a very powerful CPU, with 14 cores, and 20 threads, and a max frequency of 4.7Ghz. On geekbench 5, it gets 1781 in single core, and 8388 in multi core, which means it beats my desktop 5800H in single core, and gets extremely close in multi core.
It's cooled with a dual fan system, with 2 fans and 2 heatpipes, and uses liquid metal, which means temps never got high, staying at around 40 degrees Celsius at idle, and about 80ยฐC under heavy load.
In terms of battery life, I got around 7 and a half hours of youtube video playback in a loop over wifi, at 50% brightness with bluetooth on. With a more regular workload of web browsing, listening to music, writing this script, and watching the occasional video or running a test or 2 on the laptop, I got 9h.
Review of the 16 inch model (the equivalent model from SLimbook):
@wannabemystiker The fact that most of the people who responded to my post are Germans seems to indicate that this is a problem specific to German breweries.
It's a good thing that you folks don't have to bother with this kind of sexist crap.
@wannabemystiker plenty of sexist US breweries making terrible puns with blonde or red ale beer names, or calling strong beers gross things like 'panty dropper' etc.
I feel like it has gotten better in the past few years at least.
Harriet Tubman probably didnโt exist. I donโt mean the person. There was a Harriet Tubman, and she was a former slave โ but she was also likely mentally handicapped from being hit on the head with a weight when she was 12. No, Iโm not talking about whether a person existed. Iโm talking about the entire mythos surrounding her supposed life; her โhagiographyโ in the Leftie cultural slop milieu that gets forced down the throats of every schoolchild starting in elementary grades.
There are, quite literally, no primary sources for her fabled exploits. Not a single one.
No historian can corroborate any of her supposed quotes, or any stories from her life. Which seemsโฆ odd, right? Considering how many she supposedly helped to free? Surely thereโd be a record of someone, somewhere, whom she helped.
But thereโs not. Why?
Turns out it all comes from one guy, quite literally an #anti-White #journalist who was named #EarlCohen. He wrote a couple books in the 1940โs โ in which he only cites his earlier articles. Itโs an #absurd #fiction that has been pushed on, quite literally, schoolchildren โ to get them to #hate their own #people and #history.
If they say itโs true, it isnโt. And it really doesnโt take much to expose their lies. It doesnโt matter what the supposed historical event was, if they said it happened, it probably didnโt, and at the very least, it didnโt happen in the way, or to the extent, they falsely claim it did.
If Clown World says itโs true, it is definitely fake and quite possibly gay. Forget the obvious frauds of The Ghost of Kiev, global warming, and Anne Frank, now the fake history of Harriet Tubman has been conclusively exposed to be completely fraudulโฆ
>Did we just psyop the Dems into demanding the release of the Epstein files? MAGA cope is the strongest stuff around. The strongest stuff. Just the best.
But people get tired of the bullshit, and it's not always the people you're paying attention to. MAGA had the same cope over the trade wars, about all the 4d chess victories that Trump gained by acting insane and abruptly ripping up deals that he himself had signed during his first term. But while that happened, shipping stopped, US bonds got absolutely destroyed, countries did the math and chose China over the US, and the US even lost the Japanese.
This cope is like something a scammer tells himself after he cheats a customer. You cheated that customer, but other other people observed it, and the customer can tell people about it, and life actually goes on and you have future interactions including with that same customer which will now not go as well for you. You gained some hard currency while losing other social currencies that you were not aware that you were spending.
Purism Featured in Fortune- Secure Phone Made in the USA.
While Big Tech claims U.S. smartphone manufacturing is โimpossibleโ or โtoo expensive,โ
Purism CEO Todd Weaver is proving otherwise.
In a recent Fortune feature, Weaver shares how Purismโs Liberty Phoneโbuilt near San Diego with U.S.-made electronicsโdelivers security, privacy, and data sovereignty without relying on foreign-controlled supply chains.
Purism, which makes the Liberty Phone in Carlsbad, Calif. using American components, is an anomaly in an industry where manufacturing and supply chains are almost entirely overseas.
The high court unanimously dismissed the case under U.S. laws that largely protect firearm manufacturers from liability when their guns are used in crimes.
I'm *so* surprised that two fragile, childish morons have fallen out and are being massively petty dickheads despite the enormous impact that'll have on millions of people.
At this rate, Elonโs going to wake up from his ketamine binge in handcuffs on a deportation flight to El Salvador, just like Skyrimโs opening scene. ๐

You know how ever since 2016 we have been waiting for the BIG ONE to go off?
This is the BIG ONE.
Wrapped up in this little spat between Trump and Elon are a number of issues, like reforming the H1B atrocity, but the Epstein Files thing is the biggie.
Do you see what is about to happen? (I think)
Elon is going to whip this into a frenzy and the LEFT, especially the media, are going to froth with demands to release the Epstein files!
Sink Trump, prune the kleptocracy of those unfortunately on the list too, and get back to business as usual. The temptation for such an outcome will be too great to resist.
Everyone on the lists will scream in protest, as will their agents, spouses, maids, etc., but everyone else who just wants Trump out of power will shout themselves hoarse.
I think Elon just flicked the first domino in a large cascade.
This public Donald/Elon spat is too perfectly timed to be entirely genuine.
I wonder if this was planned step-by-step? 1) Trump wants to remove EV subsidies 2) Elon disses the BeauteousBill 3) Trump says Elon is nutz 4) Elon insinuates that Trump's in the EpsteinFiles

Ce que beaucoup ne rรฉalisent pas, cโest que cโest dรฉsormais la guerre la plus longue de lโhistoire dโIsraรซl โ plus longue encore que celle de 1948-1949 qui a vu la naissance de lโรtat dโIsraรซl. On est pris dans un engrenage, sans voir de finalitรฉ.
QG : Quelles issues possibles ร cet engrenage infernal pour la population palestinienne ?
Lors du cessez-le-feu de janvier dernier, des centaines de milliers de Palestiniens sont retournรฉs chez eux โ chez eux, cโest-ร -dire dans des maisons dรฉtruites. Cela montre un attachement profond ร la terre, et une conscience que sโils partent, ils ne reviendront jamais. ร lโinverse, les Israรฉliens qui ont fui le nord du pays ont mis des mois, une fois les combats terminรฉs, ร revenir โ et seulement la moitiรฉ dโentre eux sont rentrรฉs. Il y a quelque chose de trรจs particulier dans ce lien des Palestiniens ร leur terre. Et pourtant, au sens propre, on ne peut pas y vivre : il nโy a plus de nourriture. Israรซl mise sur ce blocus pour forcer les gens ร partir. Mais partir oรน ? Lโรgypte reste extrรชmement ferme malgrรฉ les pressions amรฉricaines, tout comme la Jordanie. Installer 500.000 Palestiniens dans le Sinaรฏ serait un facteur majeur de dรฉstabilisation โ et, de toute faรงon, il nโy a pas les moyens logistiques pour le faire. En Jordanie, oรน la majoritรฉ de la population est dรฉjร dโorigine palestinienne, ce serait une menace directe pour la stabilitรฉ du rรฉgime et du trรดne. On peine ร voir quelle issue est envisageable. Selon les organisations internationales, des milliers dโenfants risquent de mourir de faim dans les jours ร venir. La situation est insupportable et elle varie selon les zones, selon les villes. Lโoffensive principale se concentre pour lโinstant dans le nord de Gaza, une zone quโIsraรซl veut annexer. Tous les tรฉmoignages des humanitaires sont clairs : ils nโont jamais vu une situation pareille. On parle, au sens propre, dโun camp de concentration โ les gens sont enfermรฉs, sans possibilitรฉ de sortir, avec en plus une volontรฉ dโextermination. Cette derniรจre, aussi dรฉlibรฉrรฉe, nโexistait pas dans les autres expรฉriences historiques de camps, comme celle menรฉe par les Britanniques en Afrique australe. ร lโexception รฉvidemment de lโAllemagne nazie.
QG : Quelles sont les responsabilitรฉs de lโEurope dans ce massacre ร Gaza ? Le flรฉchissement dans le soutien ร Israรซl, que lโon ressent publiquement, nโintervient-il pas trop tard ?
Le problรจme, cโest quโon en est ร 18 mois de soutien quasi inconditionnel de la France et des pays europรฉens ร la politique dโextermination menรฉe ร Gaza. Il faut le dire clairement : cette politique nโaurait pas รฉtรฉ possible sans cet aval. Si la France et lโEurope avaient pris des mesures concrรจtes contre Israรซl, cela ne se serait sans doute pas produit. Netanyahou en a conscience. La parole de la France continue dโavoir un certain poids โ mรชme si, autrefois, elle jouait un rรดle dโavant-garde en Europe. Mais le fait que la France, comme dโautres pays europรฉens, bascule vers une critique plus radicale de la politique israรฉlienne inquiรจte le gouvernement de Netanyahou. La dรฉcision de lโUnion Europรฉenne de rรฉรฉvaluer lโaccord dโassociation avec Israรซl est un signal, mรชme si lโon sait que cet accord ne peut รชtre annulรฉ quโavec lโunanimitรฉ des 27 รtats membres. Cela laisse entrevoir, malgrรฉ tout, la possibilitรฉ de sanctions. On entend souvent dire quโIsraรซl ne cรจde pas aux pressions, mais la vรฉritรฉ, cโest quโil nโy en a pas. Il faut une vraie pression โ une pression qui vient aussi de nos sociรฉtรฉs. La guerre du Vietnam a รฉtรฉ arrรชtรฉe aux รtats-Unis quand la population sโest massivement opposรฉe. La guerre dโAlgรฉrie a รฉtรฉ gagnรฉe en France quand en 1961, le FLN avait perdu militairement. Emmanuel Macron nโa pris aucune sanction envers Israรซl, refuse toujours de reconnaรฎtre un Etat palestinien et renvoie aux historiens le soin de parler de ยซ gรฉnocide ยป. La France a รฉgalement livrรฉ du matรฉriel militaire ร Israรซl, ร plusieurs reprises depuis la rรฉplique au 7 octobre octobre 2023
QG : La critique de la politique israรฉlienne est-elle en train dโรชtre acceptรฉe dans les mรฉdias ou par nos politiques ?
Je rappelle ร nouveau que depuis 18 mois, le soutien ร Israรซl reste trรจs fort, mais aussi que la rรฉpression contre le mouvement de solidaritรฉ avec les Palestiniens se poursuit โ notamment ร travers des accusations dโapologie du terrorisme. En France, comparรฉ au Royaume-Uni, les manifestations ont รฉtรฉ relativement limitรฉes, en grande partie parce que les gens ont peur, et en particulier les Franรงais musulmans. Jโai rencontrรฉ beaucoup de Franรงais musulmans qui me disent : ยซ Ce que vous dites, nous, on ne peut pas le dire. ยป Ils ne risquent pas forcรฉment de perdre leur nationalitรฉ, mais ils peuvent perdre leur emploi โ quโils soient musulmans ou non โ ou รชtre mis ร lโรฉcart au sein de leur environnement social ou professionnel. Il y a une peur trรจs prรฉsente, encore aujourdโhui. En revanche, on observe un basculement dans lโopinion. Les images dโenfants, de famine, de bombardements โ tout cela a un impact. Je me rรฉjouis de voir que certaines personnes changent de position, quโelles dรฉcouvrent, 18 mois aprรจs, quโil y a un gรฉnocide en cours ou, au minimum, des massacres ร grande รฉchelle. Mais, en mรชme temps, elles ne vont pas toujours jusquโau bout de leur rรฉflexion ou de leur engagement.
QG : Peut-on aujourdโhui militer pour une ยซ solution ร deux Etats ยป ou celle-ci a-t-elle perdu toute rรฉalitรฉ?
Aujourdโhui, la prioritรฉ est dโarrรชter le gรฉnocide et de stopper lโoccupation en frappant toutes ces colonies. Il faut รชtre trรจs clair : on ne peut pas accepter la poursuite de la colonisation โ que la Cour International de Justice a jugรฉe totalement illรฉgale. Et cela nรฉcessite des sanctions, non seulement en rรฉponse ร la guerre ร Gaza, mais aussi face ร lโextension continue des colonies en Cisjordanie et ร Jรฉrusalem-Est. Cela dit, la solution ร un รtat nโest pas non plus une perspective rรฉaliste ร รฉchรฉance humaine. Les combats prioritaires aujourdโhui, au-delร de lโoccupation et de la colonisation, sont ceux pour lโรฉgalitรฉ. Sur le territoire de la Palestine, 7,5 millions de Juifs et 7,5 millions de Palestiniens vivent ensemble. La revendication fondamentale, cโest lโรฉgalitรฉ de traitement pour tous. Dโailleurs, Amnesty International a qualifiรฉ la situation dโapartheid, ce qui souligne bien lโurgence de cette exigence. Mais ร ce stade, se focaliser sur une solution politique en termes รฉtatiques semble รฉloignรฉ des enjeux immรฉdiats. Et puis, je lโai toujours dit : cโest aux Palestiniens et aux Israรฉliens de dรฉcider de leur avenir.
QG : Que penser du tabou qui rรจgne autour du mot ยซ gรฉnocide ยป, chargรฉ de sens pour Israรซl notamment ?
Il est trรจs difficile de dรฉfinir un gรฉnocide mais on peut tout ร fait en discuter. Il y a tout de mรชme la Cour Internationale de Justice, prรฉsidรฉe par une juge amรฉricaine, qui a reconnu quโil existait un risque plausible de gรฉnocide. Pourtant, dรจs quโon prononce ce mot, cela dรฉclenche un tollรฉ. Comme sโil รฉtait inconcevable que des Juifs, ayant subi un gรฉnocide, puissent en commettre un. Par ailleurs, je remets en cause lโidรฉe selon laquelle Israรซl serait lโhรฉritier des Juifs, y compris de ceux qui ont รฉtรฉ tuรฉs pendant la Shoah. Par exemple, le Rwanda, qui a รฉtรฉ victime dโun gรฉnocide, mรจne aujourdโhui des politiques particuliรจrement violentes au Congo. Il nโexiste aucune loi historique selon laquelle avoir รฉtรฉ opprimรฉ empรชcherait dโรชtre un oppresseur. Lโhistoire dรฉmontre plutรดt lโinverse. Lโhistorien israรฉlien Tom Segev rappelait quโon pouvait tirer deux leรงons de lโhistoire du gรฉnocide des Juifs : 1) considรฉrer que ce que lโon a subi est tellement exceptionnel que quoi quโon fasse, on est pardonnรฉ ; 2) considรฉrer que ce que lโon a subi est tellement exceptionnel quโil ne faut en aucun cas que cela se reproduise. Bien sรปr, cela ne se reproduit jamais de maniรจre identique. Dโune certaine maniรจre, on ne peut pas comparer les gรฉnocides armรฉnien, tutsi ou juif. Mais on peut les dรฉfinir. Il existe une dรฉfinition prรฉcise du gรฉnocide. Pourtant, on ne verra jamais ร la radio ou ร la tรฉlรฉvision un dรฉbat posant la question : โEst-ce que ce qui se passe ร Gaza remplit les critรจres du gรฉnocide ?โ Certains disent mรชme : โLโarmรฉe israรฉlienne nโa tuรฉ que 50.000 personnes, donc ce nโest pas un gรฉnocide.โ Mais cโest une logique que lโon retrouve aussi chez une partie des nรฉgationnistes dโextrรชme droite qui affirmaient : โIl y a encore des millions de Juifs dans le monde, donc il nโy a pas eu de gรฉnocide.โ Selon lโONU, plus de 15.000 enfants ont รฉtรฉ tuรฉs ร Gaza, 497.000 personnes sont confrontรฉs ร la famine. Entre le 18 mars et le 9 avril 2025, 36 frappes israรฉliennes ont fait des victimes, qui รฉtaient uniquement des femmes et des enfants
QG : Les mandats dโarrรชts รฉmis par la Cour Pรฉnale Internationale ร lโรฉgard de Benjamin Netanyahu et Yoav Gallant (ancien ministre de la dรฉfense) ont รฉtรฉ reรงus avec beaucoup de prudence en Occident, si ce nโest avec virulence. Assiste-t-on ร la fin du droit international ?
Oui, ce qui se joue avec la Cour Pรฉnale Internationale (CPI) est trรจs important, parce que ce qui se passe ร Gaza dรฉpasse de loin cette seule situation. Il sโagit en rรฉalitรฉ de lโavenir du droit international โ et cโest, ร mes yeux, une question fondamentale. Ce qui est en train de mourir ร Gaza, cโest justement ce droit international. On a souvent comparรฉ la situation en Ukraine ร celle de la Palestine, et la diffรฉrence de traitement est flagrante. On a vu la frilositรฉ avec laquelle la France a traitรฉ la question des mandats รฉmis par la CPI, ainsi que les mensonges dโEmmanuel Macron, qui affirme : โOn nโest pas sรปr de pouvoir arrรชter Benjamin Netanyahou, sโil le fautโ. Ce discours a pourtant รฉtรฉ dรฉmenti par de nombreux juristes. Plus largement, cโest tout le cadre international qui est aujourdโhui remis en cause. Les Nations unies ne sont plus respectรฉes, et lโordre international nรฉ de la Seconde Guerre mondiale est en train de sโeffondrer. La seule chose qui pourrait le refonder, cโest prรฉcisรฉment le droit international. Mais ce que promeuvent aujourdโhui Trump et Netanyahou est un ordre mondial gouvernรฉ par la force. Un systรจme dans lequel on nรฉgocie peut-รชtre avec moins dโhypocrisie quโen Europe, mais oรน chaque รtat agit selon ses intรฉrรชts, sans cadre contraignant. Par ailleurs, il y a eu rรฉcemment une campagne โ trรจs peu relayรฉe en France โ contre la CPI et son procureur, Karim Khan, qui a reรงu des menaces, y compris contre sa famille. Et cela, personne nโen parle, ce qui est tout de mรชme extraordinaire. Plus gรฉnรฉralement, le droit international est aujourdโhui non seulement rejetรฉ sur le plan politique, mais aussi trรจs mal compris. Et les mรฉdias qui en parlent le font souvent avec une ignorance prรฉoccupante.
QG : Israรซl est-il finalement encore soumis au droit international ?
Non, cela fait longtemps quโIsraรซl est au-dessus du droit international. Marx disait : โUn peuple qui en opprime un autre ne saurait รชtre libre.โ On voit bien, en Israรซl, que la poursuite de lโoccupation mรจne ร une รฉrosion progressive des aspects dรฉmocratiques de lโรtat. Il suffit dโimaginer que la France ait gagnรฉ la guerre dโAlgรฉrie et continue, encore aujourdโhui, ร occuper lโAlgรฉrie, 60 ans plus tard. Elle ne serait plus une dรฉmocratie. Il y a aussi un problรจme dans la maniรจre dont les pays occidentaux concentrent toutes les critiques sur Benjamin Netanyahou, sans reconnaรฎtre quโen rรฉalitรฉ, prรจs de 80 % de la population juive israรฉlienne soutient la politique de ce gouvernement โ pas forcรฉment tout ce quโil fait, car Netanyahou est un politicien manipulateur et menteur, mais ils adhรจrent ร sa politique dโextermination ร Gaza. Mรชme ceux qui demandent lโarrรชt des bombardements le font avant tout pour obtenir la libรฉration des otages, et non en raison des massacres subis par les Palestiniens. Il faut รชtre clair : si Netanyahou tombe demain, la politique ne changera pas. Il ne faut pas laisser croire aux gens que cette politique va รฉvoluer dans la situation actuelle puisquโelle fait consensus. Il faut rappeler que toutes les dรฉcisions de la Cour suprรชme israรฉlienne concernant les Palestiniens ont รฉtรฉ prises en faveur du droit dโIsraรซl ร coloniser leurs territoires. Cette cour peut รชtre garante des libertรฉs, mais uniquement pour les citoyens juifs. Il ne faut pas se faire dโillusions, ni rรฉduire la responsabilitรฉ ร la seule personne de Netanyahou. Il nโest pas le seul responsable.

๐ก๐ก๐ก๐ก How are we supposed to heal and fix our country when every damn day the same creatures are out there causing more and more idiotic rules and problems!!!! We have years of crimes they have committed to get through and yet they are still free to create more havoc! Our food keeps getting sicker, farmland seized for solar or housing, gas prices hiked, and budgets out of wack for illegals still.
not news, flight logs of his jet include trump, just not to the island.
we'll see if that holds true, but at this point that's the only reference to trump that's been mentioned. and that's from the leftists that hate him. if he was known to go to the island they would have blasted that everywhere.
@cjd @djsumdog let's see how it works out when Manifest V3 is the only option.
People cheering for Chrome is the worst thing. Remember Google is an ad company, all their tech services and shit are there just to let them sell more ads. You can be sure they are working to make it so adblockers are, if not outright impossible to use, at least very annoying to do so.
I have finally finished compiling documents to turn over to investigators. It ended up being several gigabites and over 200k pages. I pitty the poor sap that has to go through them. It's quite boring and i nearly lost my mind assembling them.
