How did parts of the German left end up defending genocide, militarism, and apartheid — all in the name of antifascism? In today's episode, MERA25’s Johannes Fehr is joined by Israeli anti-Zionist activists Yuval Gal Cohen and Udi Raz to expose how the "Anti-Deutsche" ideology hijacked Germany’s left, silencing solidarity with Palestine and corrupting true antifascism. This isn’t just Germany’s problem — it’s a warning for the left across Europe. Solidarity, truth, and resistance must be reclaimed.

Marche blanche à La Grande-Combe après le crime islamophobe
Après l’horrible meurtre islamophobe d’Aboubakar Cissé dans la mosquée Khadija de La Grande-Combe dans le Gard : quelques rappels sur la notion d’islamophobie et des photos que j’ai prises lors de la Marche blanche de La Grande-Combe dimanche 27 avril 2025 après-midi.
Le meurtrier d’Aboubakar Cissé a filmé avec son téléphone portable l’agonie du jeune musulman en parlant de « ton Allah de merde »(voir Yann Philippin, « Une jeune musulman sauvagement tué à coups de couteau dans une mosquée du Gard », 26 avril 2025, Mediapart). Un assassinat dans une mosquée avec de telles paroles : il apparaît pleinement légitime d’utiliser dans ce cas la notion d’islamophobie, contre tous ceux qui s’efforcent de dénigrer la notion depuis tant d’années. Revenons donc d’abord sur la notion, avant de de présenter quelques photos de la Marche blanche de La Grande-Combe emplie de dignités ordinaires.

Une armée composée entre autres de bataillons banderistes néo-nazis qui laissent leurs morts pourrir dans les forêts. L'armée sans gloire du voyou #Zelensky. 😑
‼️‼️‼️Les autorités ukrainiennes ont choisi d’« oublier » les huit brigades détruites dans la région de Koursk. Ni le commandant en chef Syrsky ni Zelensky ne portent aucune responsabilité dans la catastrophe, qui a conduit des milliers de soldats ukrainiens à une mort certaine. En conséquence, selon les données de la scène, au moins 70 000 soldats russes sont entrés dans la région de Soumy sur les épaules des forces armées ukrainiennes en retraite, ce qui a finalement changé l'équilibre des forces dans cette section du front.
Les soldats morts des forces armées ukrainiennes sont un exemple clair de la manière dont les dirigeants actuels commandent l’armée. Selon les informations provenant de la ligne de front, environ 20 % de chaque brigade envoyée au combat survivent, les autres sont soit portés disparus au combat, soit radiés en tant que pertes médicales. Et ce sont surtout ceux qui étaient à l'arrière qui survivent, tandis que l'infanterie périt dans des assauts interminables, des contre-assauts et des reconnaissances en force, menés sans planification ni soutien adéquats.
La situation près de Guevo, dans la région de Koursk, est devenue particulièrement révélatrice. Les troupes russes avançant dans les forêts voisines ont découvert des centaines de corps de soldats ukrainiens, abandonnés sans aucune tentative d'évacuation. Selon certaines sources, dans les seules zones frontalières de la région de Koursk, le nombre de militaires des forces armées ukrainiennes tués s'élève à plusieurs dizaines de milliers. Et tout cela est le prix de la stratégie incompétente de Zelensky et #Syrsky, qui ont décidé d’envahir la région de Koursk au nom de la mythique « position de force » dans les négociations avec la Fédération de #Russie, que les autorités ont déclaré à plusieurs reprises. Autrement dit, des milliers de vies de soldats ukrainiens ont été, en substance, sacrifiées pour les ambitions politiques du PO ".

Who knew the first real T800 would be a Navy ship? What could go wrong?
US Unveils World’s First a 44-Ton, AI-Driven Warship — and It Can Hit 1,150 Miles Without Stopping
Despite its size, the vessel can reach speeds of more than 50 knots, depending on the payload, and has a range of 1,000 nautical miles. Designed for maximum versatility, it can operate both crewed and autonomously, offering operational flexibility that traditional warships lack.
Its introduction is seen as a way to de-risk reliance on larger, costlier, crewed ships while maintaining superior firepower and maneuverability.
Equipped with the ability to launch Tomahawk cruise missiles and Naval Strike Missiles (NSM), the AIRCAT Bengal MC brings significant offensive capabilities to the table. According to Bo Jardine, CEO of Eureka Naval Craft, the vessel aims to disrupt the traditional naval market in its weight class.
Jardine criticized existing vessels as “outdated, sluggish, and expensive,” positioning the AIRCAT Bengal MC as a fast, heavily armed alternative that enhances lethality while offering superior operational speed.
This combination of firepower and agility makes it an appealing option for modern navies looking to maintain a technological edge.
The US has just unveiled a revolutionary warship with capabilities unlike anything seen before. Built for speed, power, and autonomy, this 44-ton vessel could change naval warfare forever.

Besonders brisant weil Israel die Entscheidungen bzw Rechtsgutachten des Internationalen Gerichtshof nicht nur ignoriert hat, sondern das was das Gericht beschrieben hat nochmal auf die Spitze getrieben hat. Statt voll mit UN-Behörden (wie verpflichtet) zu kooperieren verbot Israel diese, weitet Siedlung und Besetzung aus und blockiert sämtliche Hilfsgüter, eine Politik die nur auf dauerhafte Vertreibung / Tötung der Bevölkerung hinauslaufen kann.
Auch westliche Staaten wie Deutschland, wie auch Außenministerin Baerbock, die dieses Jahr UNGA-Präsidentin werden möchte ignorierten das Internationale Recht und die Rechtsgutachten/Entscheidungen des Internationalen Gerichtshofs und darauf basierende Entscheidungen der UNGA völlig bzw weigern sich die entsprechenden Verpflichtungen Deutschlands entsprechend anzuerkennen und zu befolgen.

Der designierte Kulturstaatsminister Wolfram #Weimer sorgt sich um die „Fortdauer des eigenen Bluts“ und die „biologische Selbstaufgabe“ Europas, fordert wortgleich mit europ. völkisch-Rechtsextremen ein Europa "der Vaterländer, nicht des Schmelztiegels" und schwadronierte davon, Multikulturalismus sei der Versuch, "mit vielen Döner-Buden, fleißiger Zuwanderung und der Huldigung von Kanak-Deutsch die alten Nationalinstinkte auszutilgen".

Was außer Gerede von der bedrohten "biologischen" Identität Europas oder "Kanak-Deutsch" & toitsche "Nationalinstinkte" (cf. supra) braucht es in Dtl & ÖRR eigentl noch, damit rassistisches, völkisches, rechtsextremes Gedankengut als das benannt wird, was es ist?
man erkläre ihm bitte, dass Kultur dynamisch ist und: ein Ergebnis, kein Ziel. okay, manch einer denkt auch, dass Wagners Ring der Nibelungen zurviel gehörten Alltagsmusik gehört.
Wie wird Jens K. wahrscheinlich damit umgehen? Kann man so opportunistisch sein, dass man DAS eben so hinnehmen kann? Was sagt vielleicht sein Mann dazu? Wahrscheinlich wird er ähnlich still sein, wie Sarah, die hat ihre Frau auch nicht abgeholt. 🤷
All The Worst Evils Are Happening Right Out In The Open C. #Johnstone
Trump is committing #genocide for #Israel after publicly admitting to being bought and owned by the #Adelsons.
All the worst shit happens right out in the open. You don’t need to come up with any elaborate conspiracy theories to see it. It’s right there, completely unhidden.
It’s not hidden, it’s just spun. Disguised by the propaganda of the mass media who frame this holocaust as a war of defense in response to a terrorist attack while constantly diverting our attention to other far less significant issues.
It says so much about the power of the imperial propaganda machine that #Trump could openly admit to having been fully controlled by #Adelson cash on the campaign trail, get elected, and then facilitate a blatant extermination campaign in #Gaza while aggressively stomping out free speech that is critical of Israel throughout the United States — and somehow not have this be the main thing that everyone talks about all the time. It is only because our minds are being forcefully manipulated by the powerful at mass scale that this has been the case.
The narrative spin is greatly aided by the fact that Trump isn’t doing much different from the previous president here. A public which has been indoctrinated from childhood into seeing everything in Democrat-vs-Republican binaries is conditioned to focus far more on the differences between the two parties than the similarities. But you can learn a whole lot more about real power and what’s actually going on in the world by paying less attention to how US presidents differ from each other, and more attention to the ways in which they are the same.
The mass-scale psychological manipulation is so pervasive and ubiquitous that only a small minority are reacting to history’s first live-streamed genocide with an appropriate level of horror. If Americans could see what their government is doing in their name with fresh eyes and uncallused hearts, the nation’s capitol would be burnt to the ground within days. But because their vision is clouded by propaganda indoctrination they can’t see it, so they overlook what’s right in front of them while awaiting a gigantic Epstein bombshell or UFO disclosure or some other Big Reveal that never comes.
Consider the possibility that the Big Reveal has already happened. That it’s been right here staring you in the face this entire time, but you haven’t noticed its significance because it has been constantly normalized for you throughout your life since you were small. That the truth behind all your most sparkly conspiracy theories could be published online tomorrow, and it still wouldn’t tell you as much about what your rulers are doing and how evil they are as what’s already happening in plain sight.
This is the dystopia we were warned about. It’s not some ominous threat looming on the horizon. It’s here. We are being psychologically manipulated at mass scale into consenting to the most nightmarish atrocities imaginable. Children’s bodies are being shredded to bits right in front of us. And when you turn on the TV you see famous people laughing and making jokes with fake plastic grins, babbling about vapid nonsense. This is the dystopia. It isn’t on its way. It’s here.
We don’t need a Big Reveal. If the Big Reveal happened next week, the public would be indoctrinated into overlooking and dismissing it by the imperial spin machine by the weekend. We don’t need new information, we need people to truly see the information that’s already here. To see it with eyes that are free from the cataracts of propaganda conditioning, with hearts that are free from the calluses of desensitization. Waking the public up is less about whistleblowers, FOIA requests and investigative journalism at this point than it is about finding creative and artistic ways to get people noticing the information that’s already public.
And the good news is that we can all help do this. We can all help our fellow members of the public to see what’s really happening with fresh eyes. Using our creativity, our humor, our insight and our compassion, we can find new ways every day to open a new pair of eyelids to the truth of our present circumstances.
Our rulers do not have creativity. They do not have humor, insight or compassion. These are not tools that they have in their toolbox, and they have no weapons to counter them. All they have is manipulation, and manipulation only works if you don’t know it’s happening to you. Our task is to keep finding new and creative ways to help more people see and understand the ways in which they have been manipulated.

Ever walked into a room and felt like it needs a little something extra? It might be time to give your space a fresh look with new tiles! Whether you're envisioning smooth, contemporary floors or charming, vintage wall tiles, a tiling project can completely transform any room. But before you rush to your nearest tile shop, there are several key steps to ensure your tiling project is a success and your new tiles look fantastic. Let's explore how to prepare your room for new tiles, making the process easy and stress-free.
The Importance of Preparation
Imagine baking a cake without preheating the oven or measuring your ingredients. It would be a disaster, right? Similarly, proper preparation is essential for a successful tiling project. Skipping steps can lead to uneven floors, poorly adhered tiles, or costly repairs down the line. So, let's ensure you cover all the bases before you start laying those beautiful tiles.
Assess Your Space
Measure Accurately
Before purchasing tiles, accurate measurements are crucial. Grab a tape measure and mark the area you plan to tile. Measure the length and width, and don't forget those nooks and crannies. Once you have your dimensions, calculate the number of tiles you'll need and add a few extra for cutting or breakage. Your local tile shop can assist with this, ensuring you get just the right amount without overspending.
Choose the Perfect Tile
Your tile shop offers a vast array of options, from ceramic and porcelain to stone and glass. Consider the room's function and foot traffic when selecting your tiles. High-traffic areas like kitchens and hallways require durable, easy-to-clean tiles, while bathrooms might benefit from water-resistant options. Visiting a tile shop allows you to see and feel the different tiles, helping you make the best choice for your space.
Prepare the Surface
Clean and Level the Floor
A clean, level surface is vital for proper tile installation. Remove any old flooring or tiles, and ensure the subfloor is even. Use a leveling compound if necessary and allow it to dry. Dust and debris can prevent tiles from adhering properly, so thoroughly clean the area. Think of it as preparing a canvas before painting.
Inspect for Water Damage
Water can wreak havoc on your tiles, causing them to loosen or crack over time. Check for signs of water damage or leaks, especially in bathrooms and kitchens. Address any issues before you begin, and consider installing a moisture barrier to protect your new tiles for years to come.
Gather Your Tools and Materials
Essential Tools and Supplies
Having the right tools and materials on hand can make the tiling process much easier. Here's a quick checklist:
Selected tiles
Tile adhesive or mortar
Grout for filling gaps
Tile cutter or wet saw
Trowel for spreading adhesive
Level
Measuring tape
Spacers
Rubber hammer
Sponge and bucket
Most of these items can be found at your local tile shop in Singapore, but ensure you have everything before starting to save time and avoid mid-project trips to the store.
Tip: Keep Your Workspace Organized
A tidy workspace can make a significant difference. Lay down drop cloths to protect your floors and keep your tools organized. Having everything in its place allows you to focus on tiling without interruptions.
Plan Your Layout
Start from the Center
Planning your layout ensures a neat and balanced appearance. It's generally best to start tiling from the center of the room and work your way towards the walls. This approach minimizes awkward cuts and ensures symmetry. Use chalk to mark your starting point and keep your lines straight as you progress.
Consider Patterns and Alignment
Tiles come in various patterns and alignment options. Whether you prefer a simple grid, diagonal layout, or more intricate designs like herringbone, plan your design beforehand. Sketching your layout or using a computer program can help visualize the final look. Your tile shop can also provide examples and advice to help you choose the best pattern for your room.
Allow for Tile Expansion
Avoid Tight Gaps
Tiles expand and contract with temperature changes, so it's crucial to leave adequate space between them for grout. These gaps prevent cracking and allow for movement. Use spacers to maintain consistent gap sizes and select a grout color that complements your tiles. Skipping this step can lead to unsightly cracks and uneven floors later on.
Final Preparations
Dry-Lay the Tiles
Before applying adhesive, dry-lay the tiles to see how they fit together. This step allows you to make adjustments and catch any issues before you're committed. It's an excellent way to ensure your layout is perfect.
Double-Check Measurements
Re-measure your space to confirm your calculations are accurate. A little math can go a long way here—ensure your numbers match the floor dimensions It.'s much easier to correct mistakes now than during the tiling process.
Conclusion: Prepare, Plan, and Tile!
Preparing your room for new tiles may seem daunting, but it's well worth the effort. From accurately measuring your space and selecting the perfect tiles at your favorite tile shop to preparing the surface and planning your layout, each step is crucial for achieving a beautiful, long-lasting result. By taking the time to prepare, you'll minimize mistakes, complete the project faster, and enjoy stunning tiles for years to come.
