βIf you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel.β
βThe Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) confirms that its civilian ship, Madleen, carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, has been attacked/forcibly intercepted by the Israeli military at 3:02 am CET in international waters at 31.95236Β° N, 32.38880Β° E. The ship was unlawfully boarded, its unarmed civilian crew abducted, and its life-saving cargoβincluding baby formula, food and medical suppliesβconfiscated.β
@chuls There is too much media visibility even for Israel to do something like that. Capturing the boat, escorting it to their port, and eventually releasing the crew is hopefully the worst Israel can afford to do.
I'm pretty sure the Madleen crew fully expected this outcome, and it nicely shows how all other countries tacitly accept Israel's breaking international law, instead of doing what law should compel them to do - protect their citizens when crimes are being done against them.
Israel had already declared what it was going to do. This was bound to occur. About baby formula, food and medical supplies, the Palestine authority should step up and handle it.
Gaza strip had zero Israel troops prior to 7-Oct-2023. It had hospitals, schools and electricity. Now significant portion of Gaza is rubble and it is crawling with Israeli troops.
The loosers are people on both sides. How many classes have children of Gaza missed? Was Oct 7 worth it?
@welkin7@ravenation.club @aral Yes. If that mother hadn't denounced the abusing father to the police, they would be still be living with their children as a happy family. Women home breakers are the worst. Enslaved people*rebelling violently to being oppressed should have know better. The Jews of the Warsaw ghetto rebelling to Nazis exterminating them should have kept their cool. (Edited from slaves)
Could you explain where these coordinates that precise with 5 digits after the decimal point come from? AIS signal is now 27 h βoldβ and is was dark. A sailing boat does not spread light towards the sky. As a sailor I am curious. Radar?
We all have a choice to do and that is an every day choice. Everyone can loose weight. All U have to do is resist the urge to eat garbage. It is literally that easy.
Big Food is destroying our health on a global scale. But we have the power to reverse this. Don't normalize fat. Make good looking men and women the ideal.
Everyone that is fat should change their lifestyle. A better diet and some training.
The globalists who feed us fattening food want us sick, weak and passive. Easy to control.
FACTCHECK FALSE The quote "In a healthy body dwells a healthy mind" is commonly attributed to the Roman poet Juvenal, from his work Satires (specifically Satire X), where he wrote "mens sana in corpore sano" (a sound mind in a sound body). However, the exact phrasing of the quote can vary slightly depending on translations and adaptations over time.
The exact phrasing βIn a healthy body dwells a healthy mindβ does not appear verbatim in Hitlerβs writings or speeches but is a condensed version of these ideas, often attributed to him in secondary sources.

A convoy of diplomats, activists and volunteers has departed from Algeria toward the Rafah crossing as part of the global march to break the #Gaza siege. Over 10K people from Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia & Libya will gather in Cairo before heading to Rafah.
After being forced out of their homes by violent Israeli settlers, the Bedouin community of Maghayer al-Deir joins a growing list of Palestinian Bedouins whose villages have been taken over by settlers since October 7, 2023.
A new paper criticizes the capabilities of LLMs in reasoning and formal logic. It builds on previous arguments made by Gary Marcus and Subbarao Kambhampati about LLMs' limitations in generalizing beyond their training distribution.
The paper argues that LLMs are not a substitute for well-specified conventional algorithms and have limitations that are becoming clearer. The the field of neural networks is not dead, but the current approach has clear limitations.
Just a reminder that Nobel-prize winning PCR (1983), used in basically any genetic tech today, was only possible because of an extremophile bacterium discovered in 1964 in Yellowstone funded by a small ~$80k NSF grant with no obvious application at the time. The value of basic #science cannot be predicted and often is realized decades after it's done.

China initiates large-scale application of non-binary AI chips, integrating hybrid computing technology into critical sectors like aviation and industrial systems.
A team at Beihang University in Beijing made the breakthrough by merging binary and stochastic logic, enabling fault tolerance and power efficiency.
The team overcame challenges in today's chip technologies, the power wall and the architecture wall, by proposing a new numerical system.
Melbourne people: there's a snap protest tonight at the State Library in support of the Freedom Flotilla activists. Copy-pasting from the post on the Students for Palestine Instagram:
"The Madleen Freedom Flotilla has been attacked by Israel and the activists onboard have been kidnapped.
"We demand that our government immediately sanction Israel for their attack on the Freedom Flotilla, their siege on Gaza & cut all economic, diplomatic and military ties with the state of Israel." #FreePalestine #AusPol
Watched "The Running Man" with the older kids tonight as Dystopi-June continues. What a quintessentially 80s movie. They all enjoyed it, even the super-cheesy one-liners. I admit, the movie gets more right than I had remembered. TV/Propaganda - Corporate ownership of gov't - easily manipulated people through media consumption - AI used to reinforce narratives . . . etc.
Kudos to Richard Dawson, though. He really steals the show!
Let's make this absolutely clear: Israel attacking a ship sailing under the flag of the UK and kidnapping it's international crew including Greta Thunberg and Member of European Parliament Rima Hassan is Piracy and Terrorism.

What if humans can't get past the Van Allen belt with our current understanding of physics.
So this entire Trump / Elon spat will end with canceling any plans for going to the moon or Mars, at least with Space X. Space X will focus efforts on autonomous robots mining asteroids
@Chadtoshi Nakamoto @Peaceandprosperity Yes, Aldrin (Apollo 11), David Scott (Apollo 15), Charles Duke (Apollo 16), and Harrison Schmitt (Apollo 17) are all still alive.
@chadtoshinakamoto i would love to believe we went to the moon. My grandpa was an astronomer and I've been fascinated with space my entire life. But I just don't think we can ride thru the Van Allen belt in something the thickness of a coke can.
@Peaceandprosperity @Chadtoshi Nakamoto You can, people did, and they described cherenkov radiation's effects on their eyes as they went through. To quote Gargoyle:
The Van Allen radiation belts, while posing a radiation hazard, are not necessarily a major obstacle for human spaceflight due to the relatively low levels of radiation experienced during transit and the use of shielding. Astronauts flying through the belts are exposed to radiation, but the exposure is generally low enough not to cause significant harm, particularly if they are shielded by the spacecraft and travel through the belts quickly.
A solidarity from workes all over the world against genocide in Gaza, not only at French:
>The cargo ship that was supposed to bring weapons to Israel left Fos-sur-Mer without its cargo.
June 7, 2025 Good News , War , Middle East , Solidarity
-There can be no talk of "participation in the ongoing genocide orchestrated by the Israeli government." The dockworkers at the port of Fos-sur-Mer near Marseille said this and put it into practice.
"This week, everything happened very quickly. On June 4, the investigative media outlet Disclose revealed that an Israeli cargo ship was scheduled to dock in the French port the following day to secretly load 14 tons of spare parts for machine guns. These parts are manufactured by the French company Eurolinks, based in Marseille. Immediately after this information became known, the CGT port workers' union in Fos-sur-Mer announced that the "container of Eurolinks links [...] had been made available" and that the workers would not "load it onto the ship."
Not only were these critical military components for assembling ammunition left at the dock, but the dockworkers also blocked two other containers of rifle barrels from the Aubert et Duval company that were to be transported to Israel on the same ship. On Friday, June 6, the ship finally departed without the cargo it was supposed to pick up in France. The CGT (Central European Customs Workers' Union) subsequently supported the action, declaring: "Customs officials do not want to be complicit in this genocide. Customs can enforce an export ban on weapons and weapon parts, so let's do it!"
In retaliation, police arrested the general secretary of the CGT union at the port of Marseille. He was "interrogated for several hours by investigators from the finance brigade" about a 2014 case that apparently had nothing to do with the union action. A low-level maneuver that creates few illusions.
This fine initiative throws a spotlight on the shame of the French government, which, while publicly claiming to condemn the situation in the Gaza Strip, continues to authorise the supply of weapons of war.
After Fos-sur-Mer, the ship was scheduled to dock in the Italian port of Genoa this weekend. There, too, the workers took the initiative and organized a rally at the port entrance. Dockworkers in this city have been protesting against Saudi arms deliveries for the war in Yemen since 2019. Since then, the dockworkers have organized themselves into a collective and regularly protest against their involvement in war crimes. For example, they refused to load containers destined for Israel in 2023.
Last summer, a massive US military tanker capable of carrying 300,000 barrels of fuel crossed the Mediterranean to supply and refuel Israeli warplanes. In Spain, the ship was prevented from docking in Gibraltar due to the mobilization of pro-Palestinian groups. It was unable to dock at the port on July 30, 2024.
Further actions took place outside Europe. On April 20, 1,500 people demonstrated in Tangier, a major port in northern Morocco, against the docking of a container ship chartered by the Danish shipping company Maersk. It was suspected of transporting parts for military aircraft to Israel.
Dockworkers in Tangier refused to load the equipment: "18 of the 20 crane operators on the first shift" went on strike. Two days earlier, a large demonstration against the ship's arrival in Morocco had taken place in Casablanca, leading to clashes with police. On April 14, the Moroccan Dockworkers' Union called on "workers, users, and infrastructure managers in the port of Casablanca to boycott the ship."
In the fall of 2023, the port of Oakland, California, was blockaded for several days to prevent a ship loaded with weapons bound for Israel from leaving. Hundreds of people took turns disrupting port operations, while others chained themselves to the ship's entrance.
War relies primarily on logistics: the production and supply of weapons, technology, fuel, transport, etc. Without workers, no military operation is possible. Strikes and blockades have always been the best means of preventing militaristic massacres and genocides.

Governor Gavin Newscum and βMayorβ Bass should apologize to the people of Los Angeles for the absolutely horrible job that they have done, and this now includes the ongoing L.A. riots. These are not protesters, they are troublemakers and insurrectionists. Remember, NO MASKS!
sorry to say it but i support using the insurrection act against rioters if the commie trash mayor of LA is going to order cops to stand down and let hte place burn again. there are residents who need to be protected from violent foreign invaders and drug fueled antifa mobs
Communities Fight Against ICE Detentions in Los Angeles
Tensions escalated in Los Angeles on Friday following a series of federal immigration raids that resulted in the kidnapping of dozens of people. Unfolding across multiple sites, the raids were part of US President Donald Trumpβs intensified ethnicprogram cleansing against migrants.
People poured into the streets to throw rocks at ICE vehicles, swarmed agents, burned ICE vehicles, and chased down agents in the street.
According to local media, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents targeted precarious workers at several locations, including a Home Depot in the Westlake District, an apparel store in the Fashion District, and a clothing warehouse in South Los Angeles. Television footage showed unmarked, military-style vehicles and vans transporting uniformed agents throughout the city.
The Los Angeles City News Service reported that dozens were taken into custody, though ICE has not yet issued an official statement.
By evening, protests had erupted in downtown Los Angeles in response to the raids. Demonstrators gathered near a federal court building, where anti-ICE slogans were spray-painted on the walls. Crowds also massed near a nearby jail believed to be holding some of the detainees.
Live footage from Reuters showed LAPD officers in riot gear forming lines in the street, equipped with batons and tear gas rifles. After ordering protesters to disperse, police declared an unlawful assembly. Fearless protesters reportedly threw chunks of broken concrete, prompting police to respond with volleys of tear gas, pepper spray, and flash-bang rounds.
It was unclear whether any arrests were made during the confrontation. LAPD spokesperson Drake Madison confirmed that those who refused to leave the area were subject to arrest.
One of those detained during the raids was David Huerta, president of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) of California. According to an SEIU statement, Huerta was injured and taken into custody by ICE while observing enforcement activity at one of the raid locations.
ICE did not respond to requests for comment on Huertaβs detention.
The LAPD backed up ICE by attacking the rebellion that followed. Trump exacerbated the situation, deploying 2,000 national guard troops. Nonetheless grafiti was spotted in the area reading, βKill ICE.β
The Genesis Abraham is the Future, not the Antique, Primordial Past. Abimelech and Pharaoh are the Christian Church. The Seed of Abraham is in the World Today but not of the Christian World Order. The Deeper Meaning of Abimelech and Sarah in Genesis.
The Book of Genesis is a prophecy about the Christian age. It uses emblems to tell a deeper spiritual story, which is wrongly interpreted by many Christians and Jews to be totally literal history. But Genesis is not literal history--Genesis is the prophetic future!
This is too funny, but I'm an old enough fart to have used a slide-rule. My early study for a 1st Class Radio Telephone license included calculating by slide rule. Fortunately, I picked up a used HP-35 calculator for $320 before I actually took the FCC test. The test WITH the calculator took me 4 hours and I ran out of battery at the end of the test. But I passed.
