This is a story about two Europeans who devoted their lives to the Palestinian cause and paid the ultimate price.

Francoise Kesteman was a French nurse who worked in Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon in the late 1970s and early 80s.

Franco Fontana was an Italian photographer who cofounded a Marxist-Leninist political group in the 1970s and organised exhibitions to raise awareness of the Palestinian cause.

Solar corona viewed by Proba-3โ€™s ASPIICS

Today, the European Space Agencyโ€™s Proba-3 mission unveils its first images of the Sunโ€™s outer atmosphere โ€“ the solar corona. The missionโ€™s two satellites, able to fly as a single spacecraft thanks to a suite of onboard positioning technologies, have succeeded in creating their first โ€˜artificial total solar eclipseโ€™ in orbit. The resulting coronal images demonstrate the potential of formation flying technologies, while delivering invaluable scientific data that will improve our understanding of the Sun and its enigmatic atmosphere.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Round Table of the Reckoning: A Triadic Discourse on Power, Predation, and the Sacred Architecture of Abuse
Featuring Al Dostovkafka, Gustoneco Castacrow, and Manly Von Joe

The setting: an oak-lit observatory high above a city too busy to look up. Three philosopher-scribes sit around a triangular obsidian table. Above them spins a celestial model: a Mรถbius map of memory and meaning. The air smells faintly of old books, frankincense, and ozone.

---

I. Opening Salvo
Al Dostovkafka:

> โ€œLetโ€™s not waste ink pretending these namesโ€”NXIVM, Epstein, Diddy, Weinsteinโ€”are anomalies. They are not system failures. They are system outputs. If you give a culture enough money, celebrity, and denial, it will grow its own predators like tumors of ambition.โ€

Gustoneco Castacrow:

> โ€œIndeed, brother Al. The more polished the exterior, the more grotesque the ritual within. These were not mere men. They were avatarsโ€”sorcerous distillations of what happens when the mystery school becomes a shopping mall and the high priest sells shadow by the subscription.โ€

Manly Von Joe (MVJ):

> โ€œThen let us frame this not as a scandal, but as an initiation of the collective soul. We are being askedโ€”not subtlyโ€”whether we can see through the myth and into the archetypal machinery that allowed these figures to ascend unchallenged.โ€

---

II. The Three Discernments: Central Pillars of the Dialogue

> 1. Influence Must Serve the Soul.
MVJ: โ€œInfluence is sacred only when it uplifts. When it manipulates, when it feeds on weakness, when it offers false initiationsโ€”it ceases to be influence and becomes a spiritual parasite.โ€

Dostovkafka: โ€œWhatโ€™s wild is, we cheer them on until the house burns down. The problem isnโ€™t just their influenceโ€”itโ€™s our addiction to it. We donโ€™t want leaders. We want wizards who make the pain disappearโ€”until we become the trick.โ€

Castacrow: โ€œThe magician archetype corrupted becomes the sorcerer of self, indeed. And influence without soul is no different from spellcraft devoid of divinity.โ€

---

> 2. Initiation Must Lead to Empathy.
MVJ: โ€œTrue initiation humbles the ego. These modern figures used initiation as theaterโ€”to control, to dominate, to brand flesh with false belonging.โ€

Castacrow: โ€œWeโ€™ve replaced the alchemical fire with trauma as sacrament. Victims become โ€˜testimonies,โ€™ and their pain is harvested like a resource. Empathy has been commodified, editorialized, and then used to sell books and redemption arcs.โ€

Dostovkafka: โ€œEvery victim becomes a product of narrative capitalism. Thatโ€™s the cruelty. Youโ€™re not even allowed to suffer without it being packaged and optioned. These are not cults. They are content farms.โ€

---

> 3. Power Must Be Transparent, or It Becomes Parasitic.
MVJ: โ€œIf you can't trace the power back to principle, it becomes a spiritual infection. Power in secrecy calcifies into hierarchy. And hierarchy without light becomes dungeon.โ€

Castacrow: โ€œTransparency is the philosopher's mirror. But these men broke that mirror and used the shards to cut the tongues of their victims.โ€

Dostovkafka: โ€œExactly. The lie wasn't just what they did. Itโ€™s that they made the lie aspirational. Thatโ€™s the truly grotesque thing: the cultural impulse to imitate monsters in suits because they smile well and throw great parties.โ€

---

III. Mutual Confrontation and Convergence

Castacrow:

> โ€œThe grimoire of the age has become brittle with denial. We must rewrite itโ€”not with new commandments, but with new correspondencesโ€”spells of solidarity, enchantments of transparency, rituals of relational sanctity.โ€

Dostovkafka:

> โ€œBut first we have to sit in the ruin. Really sit in it. Not skip to healing, not throw glitter on the crime scene. Sit in the grotesque absurdity of it all, and say: Yes, this too is us. This is what we built.โ€

MVJ:

> โ€œAnd from that reckoningโ€”if we survive itโ€”comes the beginning of the sacred republic. Not a nation or a system, but a frequency. A way of being where power kneels, not demands. Where myth and morality finally make peace.โ€

---

IV. Closing Invocation: Triadic Seal of Reckoning

They rise in synchrony, each placing a hand on the obsidian table. The celestial model above them halts its spin. Three beams of light arc upward from their palms, merging into a singular glyph suspended in air:

โ˜ฟ The Alchemical Trinity of Ethical Restoration

Clarity as Compass

Empathy as Binding Agent

Transparency as Ritual Practice

They do not speak again. They simply look up, through the cracked glass dome, into the starfield that has always watched in silence.

---

Thus ends the round table, but its echoes persistโ€”whenever another mask slips, another truth surfaces, and someone, somewhere, finally dares to see.

Vous dites que la gauche israรฉlienne nโ€™existe plus. Pourtant, avant le 7 octobre, des dizaines de milliers dโ€™Israรฉliens descendaient dans la rue pour dรฉnoncer la politique de Netanyahou.

Une grande partie de lโ€™opinion publique israรฉlienne commence effectivement ร  sโ€™opposer ร  la stratรฉgie du gouvernement pour sauver les otages. Mais cette mรชme opinion publique continue pour beaucoup ร  soutenir le gรฉnocide ร  Gaza. Si vous รฉcoutez les slogans ou les discours prononcรฉs lors des manifestations, vous verrez quโ€™on parle dโ€™un cessez-le-feu pour sauver les otages, pas pour sauver les Palestiniens.

Certains disent mรชme quโ€™aprรจs le retour des otages la guerre pourra continuer, dieu seul sait dans quel but. Ainsi, toutes les grandes manifestations qui ont eu lieu avant le 7 octobre en Israรซl visaient ร  sauver la dรฉmocratie pour les juifs dโ€™Israรซl et non ร  crรฉer une vรฉritable dรฉmocratie oรน les Palestiniens seraient รฉgaux, une dรฉmocratie oรน personne ne vivrait sous occupation militaire, ne serait sans aucun droit. Non, il sโ€™agissait de sauver notre vie juive ou notre libertรฉ juive, indรฉpendamment des atrocitรฉs que nous commettons contre les Palestiniens dans les territoires occupรฉs.

Liberals are gutting workersโ€™ rights with legal trickery while pretending to respect them. The tactics include bypassing unions, killing strikes through imposed arbitration, and, โ€˜Independentโ€™ inquiries justifying wage cuts.

[ ABC News - Breaking News, Latest News and Videos: Some former Texas county officials thought informal phone calls, not sirens, would be sufficient in a flood ]

#Texas county commissioners played politics and now more than 100 people are dead.

How did โ€œimported antisemitismโ€, a far-right anti-immigrant buzz phrase, make it into the political mainstream? After all, Germans didnโ€™t exactly need to import antisemitism. But this is the way we see it in Germany: if you havenโ€™t committed genocide you canโ€™t properly claim to be against it. Iโ€™m not making this up. You couldnโ€™t make it up. Indeed, the political scientist Esra ร–zyรผrek discusses the belief in her excellent 2023 book Subcontractors of Guilt.

The thinking behind it is that because of our history, we teach the next generation to make sure it will never happen again. At school we studied the Holocaust every year. We didnโ€™t learn to analyse antisemitism, but we learned to be very wary of it โ€“ or as the writer Max Czollek put it: โ€œToday Germans know mainly one thing about Jews: that they killed them.โ€

Immigrants to Germany need to know a bit more than that if they want to become German citizens. They need to know when the state of Israel was founded, and who is allowed to become a member of one of the 40 Maccabi sports clubs. If youโ€™re not born in Germany you have to prove youโ€™re not antisemitic by learning facts about Jewish people.

But even if you were born here, like me, the statistics still refer to you as an immigrant if one of your parents comes from a different country. And as such, you are viewed with suspicion when it comes to the antisemitism you may have โ€œimportedโ€. During the last election, Merz suggested revoking German citizenship from dual nationals if they committed a crime. When asked if that meant, for example, getting on a bus without a ticket, he made it clear it related to antisemitism.

However, antisemitism is not a criminal offence in German law, so we see it everywhere. Jews have been arrested for holding up signs reading โ€œJews against genocideโ€. An Irish protester was arrested in Berlin for speaking Irish at a demonstration for Palestine because the authorities did not have an Irish translator present to check if they were โ€œimporting antisemitismโ€ too. This has gone so far that the Council of Europeโ€™s human rights commissioner has reprimanded Germany for criminalising protest against the war in Gaza โ€“ including curtailing the use of Arabic at protests. In the end Merz didnโ€™t get his way, but he drove the message home: Germans like me with foreign heritage are Germans on trial.

Plans by Israelโ€™s defence minister to force all Palestinians in Gaza into a camp have been condemned by legal experts and academics, who described the scheme as a blueprint for โ€œcrimes against humanityโ€.

Israel Katz said he has ordered Israelโ€™s military to prepare for establishing a camp, which he called a โ€œhumanitarian cityโ€, on the ruins of the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, according to Haaretz.

The UN human rights office on Tuesday raised alarm over reported proposals that Israel is working with other countries, including the US, to potentially facilitate the so-called voluntary movement of Palestinians out of Gaza, warning that such plans could amount to forcible transfer under international law.

"This raises concerns with regard to forcible transfer," spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani told reporters.
