ground is raising the next generation of Sharia enforcers. Look at their teachers, look at their school....this is NOT in Pakistan but the new Sharia Texas! Madrasah Islamiah is a tax-exempt Houston Deobandi mosque that describes American society as “polluted with kufr” (disbelief) and “fisq” (disobedience to Allah). This isn’t just metaphor - it’s an ideological declaration of war on our culture. Deobandi Islam isn’t just a belief system - it’s a global political infrastructure pushing Sharia

supremacy, gender apartheid, and rejection of Western values. And it’s operating under U.S. tax exemption laws.And now? They’re building what they proudly call “one of America’s largest Islamic boarding institutes”—a Sharia-controlled compound where Muslim children will be cut off from U.S. values and raised as ideological enforcers to export across the country.

Former Israeli pilot Yonatan Shapira says his country is led by "Jewish supremacist Nazis" supported by Western leaders.

Shapira began questioning Israel's actions during the Palestinian uprising in 2000. Within the first few days of the intifada, the IOF fired one million rounds of ammunition killing thousands of people.

Shapira calls for current Israeli leaders and soldiers who ordered and have participated in the #Gaza genocide to be "sent to jail for decades".

EDIT: I still have one laptop to give away, but please note I can send it within the continental U.S. ONLY! Due to shipping restrictions on electronics with batteries, I cannot ship outside the US, sorry. If you are in the U.S. and need a ~5 yr old laptop with Windows 10 (capable of upgrading to 11), let me know. FCFS. Boosts OK. Thanks all!

In regard to Hyprland and Fascism


Like y'all keep posting about it, praising it and what not.

But the dev is a fascist, the discord server is a fascist bar, and the project thus is fascist.

I've met people who were harassed, I browserd through now deleted messages of Vaxry using slurrs and more.

So I wonder is if the people who post constantly about it know and are complicit, or just don't know and would act otherwise?

in reply to teawrecks

i'm not on wayland so i can't try any of these, but there are lists you can browse from (wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wayla… for example)

you are setting quite restrictive and arbitrary limits

well supported


what do you mean?

with smooth animations


what counts as "smooth animations"?

if your message boils down to "something which looks really good to me and that has a discord i can go into and ask for help", you may have set the requirements tight enough to only include hyprland, but that's not a valid excuse in my opinion to avoid boycotting problematic developers

in reply to iltg

I agree they're restrictive and arbitrary reasons and they're also the preference of every single hyprland user has for chosing it. You have a different set of arbitrary reasons for setting your system up the way you like. It's called a "preference".

In order to fulfill this preference, is it ok for me to fork hyprland and call it something else? Or do I need to rewrite hyprland's functionality from scratch and pretend it was all my idea? Can I reference hyprland during the rewrite or does it need to be clean room? Should i make a fork available for people who disapprove of the hyprland devs? But what if I'm not a good enough person? Oof, just noticing, i forgot to check the ideologies of each maintainer of the thousands of packages in my system.

I think it's possible that the boycott idea makes more sense in a capitalist setting than a communist one. The reason we stop supporting JK Rowling or Chick-Fil-A is because being a customer directly translates to their success and thus the success of their ideology. But no one is making a profit from developing and maintaining a Linux package. In fact, typically the more people use your package, the more thankless work falls on you.

I'm simply interested in having control over my PC, and the FOSS community exists to exchange learnings and code to enable each other to do that. And like all of science throughout history, there are problematic people who contribute useful ideas, and I think we would be cutting off our own noses to reject them just because they come from people we otherwise disagree with.

I did not have Giles Brandreth talking about raw dogging and barebacking on my Bingo card for today. Poor Rylan. Holy shit I've never laughed so hard in my life! 😆

Quotes

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

Houthis 3, US Navy 0

Another #F-18 was lost in the Red Sea, presumably due to its #carrier having to take evasive maneuvers after being targeted by land-to-sea missiles from #Yemen:


The US Navy has lost another fighter jet in the Red Sea, marking the second incident involving an F/A-18 Super Hornet from the USS Harry S. Truman in just over a week, and the third such loss since Washington intensified operations against Houthi rebels in Yemen.

The aircraft reportedly plunged into the sea after experiencing an arrestment failure while attempting to land on the carrier, forcing both the pilot and weapons systems officer to eject. CNN first reported the incident on Tuesday, citing multiple sources familiar with the matter.

“The arrestment failed, causing the aircraft to go overboard. Both aviators safely ejected and were rescued by a helicopter assigned to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 11,” an unnamed defense official told USNI News. “The aviators were evaluated by medical personnel and assessed to have minor injuries. No flight deck personnel were injured.”

The incident reportedly occurred the same day the Iran-backed Houthi rebel group “took a shot” at the Truman, though it remains unclear whether the two events are connected.


That represents just under 1 percent of the US F-18 fleet lost to the Yemeni military, which is impressive in that Yemen does not even have an air force.

Perhaps more importantly, it tends to give the #lie to #PresidentTrump’s unexpected claim yesterday that the #Houthis have “capitulated” and have opened the #RedSea to the #US #Navy.

Israel Really Is As Evil As It Looks


Israeli snipers routinely, deliberately shoot #children in the head throughout the Gaza Strip.
Israel created an AI system for the IDF to target suspected #Hamas fighters when they go home to their families and mockingly called it “Where’s Daddy?”, because they are killing the fighters’ children.

Israel has targeted healthcare facilities and ambulances in Gaza hundreds upon hundreds of times. They’ve been documented entering the hospitals they attack and systematically destroying individual pieces of medical equipment in order to make them unusable.

#IDF soldiers constantly post photos and videos to their social media accounts showing themselves mockingly dressing in the clothes of dead and displaced Palestinian women and playing with the toys of dead and displaced Palestinian children.

The IDF has admitted to running a popular Telegram channel called “72 Virgins” which posted extremely gory and sadistic snuff films of people in #Gaza being butchered by Israeli forces.
After destroying buildings full of civilians, the IDF has been known to send in sniper drones to pick off the survivors, including children.

Israel has murdered a historically unprecedented number of journalists in its Gaza onslaught, and has been knowingly attacking humanitarian aid workers.

Israeli soldiers #rape and #torture Palestinian prisoners to death, including doctors. On the rare occasions that anyone is ever arrested for these abuses, Israelis have riots — not to oppose the abuses, but to oppose the arrests of the perpetrators.

And now Israel is openly declaring its agenda to ethnically cleanse the entire Gaza Strip of Palestinians, with Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich saying the plan is for Gaza’s population to be “concentrated” at the southern end of the enclave and pressured to leave while the rest of Gaza is “totally destroyed”.
“The population of #Gaza will be concentrated from the Morag Corridor southwards. The rest of the Strip will be empty,” #Smotrich said, adding, “They will be totally despairing, understanding that there is no hope and nothing to look for in Gaza, and will be looking for relocation to begin a new life in other places.”

A poll released earlier this year found that only three percent of Jewish Israelis oppose the planned ethnic cleansing of Gaza on moral grounds. That’s right: three percent. Three out of every one hundred people.

I got into a back and forth with a liberal Israel supporter the other day whose entire argument basically boiled down to “Oh so you’re claiming Israel is just doing terrible things to civilians on purpose, just because they’re evil??”
And, I mean, yes. That’s a bit of an oversimplification, but yes. Israel is evil. It’s a deeply evil country full of deeply evil people. Again: three percent.

My interlocutor was attempting to dismiss the idea of Israelis being horrible people as a legitimate explanation for their actions in Gaza, meaning Israel’s actions could only be explained as rational responses to unfortunate provocations by the Palestinians (who he of course had no trouble believing were bloodthirsty savages). But the evidence says Israel really is as evil as it looks.

As we have discussed previously, this isn’t because there’s anything inherently evil in Judaism or Jewishness which would cause a state led by Jews to behave in this way. Rather, it’s because modern Israel has from its very inception been premised on the idea of a tiered society where one ethnic group dominates the others, making injustice and inequality an inherent part of the system. Israelis are indoctrinated from birth into accepting this unjust apartheid framework as normal, which necessarily entails indoctrinating them into accepting the dehumanization and abuse of the disempowered group.

If you have a society whose populace are systematically indoctrinated into accepting apartheid and abuse as normal and good, you are inevitably going to wind up with a society full of sociopaths. That’s who’s going to be casting the votes, serving in the military, working in the media, and working in the government. It’s not caused by their ethnicity or their religion — it’s caused by the perverse nature of the apartheid state in which they live.

Many westerners tend to give Israel the benefit of the doubt because they assume from the beginning that this can’t be as simple as it looks and the abuse cannot be as one-sided as it appears to be. They assume this because western news media and politicians are constantly churning out narratives to make Israel look as innocent as possible and Palestinians look as guilty as possible, but in reality this really is exactly what it looks like: Israelis murdering and starving a civilian population in order to steal their land.

It really is that simple. Israel really is that bad. And so is anyone who supports it.

Michael Rivero: Most people prefer to believe that their leaders are just and fair, even in the face of evidence to the contrary, because once a citizen acknowledges that the government under which he lives is lying and corrupt, the citizen has to choose what he or she will do about it. To take action in the face of corrupt government entails risks of harm to life and loved ones. To choose to do nothing is to surrender one's self-image of standing for principles. Most people do not have the courage to face that choice. Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker but only to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all. wordsmith.social/protestation/…


Quotes

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

Criticism of Israel or its present political administration does not fit the definition of the word antisemitic regardless of whether the critical statement is balanced. Using the term antisemitic in that accusatory fashion inappropriately makes it a political hot button code word diluting its power and importance when used according to its actual definition.

Merriam-webster defines anti-semitism as "hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious, ethnic, or racial group". Dictionary.com simply says "Prejudice or hatred against Jews".

No mention is made of Israel or its politicians or its actions.

Here's an odd one... These tomatoes all come from the same plant, which is a volunteer I found growing in the compost.

About a third of the plant has tomatoes that look like mini beefsteak!!! I had a full size beefsteak growing last year that produced a 3 pound tomato... Most were closer to normal.

Anyways, it must have crossbred with a Everglades tomato plant... But only a third? If they taste good I'll keep some seeds and maybe sell them next year as a novelty tomato.

Fortunately the tomatoes didn't take much damage from the hail storm.

Jeffrey #Sachs est un économiste américain de renommée mondiale, professeur à l'université Columbia et ancien président de la Commission #Covid-19 du #Lancet, connu pour ses recherches approfondies sur les origines de la #pandémie. Il milite pour une gouvernance mondiale renforcée afin de contrôler les manipulations dangereuses de pathogènes, pointant du doigt les dissimulations autour des recherches menées à l'université de Caroline du Nord.
"- Je vais vous révéler une triste vérité, quelque peu surprenante. Je dois admettre que ce que je m'apprête à vous dire n'est sûr qu'à 99 %. Mais mon avis, basé sur des recherches très approfondies menées ces derniers 4 ans 1/2, c’est que le Covid provient de l'université de Caroline du Nord, qui est le principal centre de recherche sur les bêta-coronavirus, qui collabore avec le gouvernement américain sur une série de propositions de subventions qui ont identifié l’introduction du changement viral à l'origine du #SARS-Cov-2. C'est une vérité sinistre. C'est moche. On l'a dissimulé. Si j'évoque cela dans ce contexte, c'est parce qu'il n'existe actuellement aucune gouvernance mondiale efficace pour contrôler la manipulation d'agents pathogènes dangereux, comme celle qui a créé la pandémie et déclenché sa propagation. Officiellement, le bilan s'élève à 7 millions de morts, mais si l'on compte tous les décès liés au Covid, on est probablement plus proche de 20 millions. Et même dans ce cas, il n'y a jamais d'enquête sérieuse, tout est dissimulé, caché.
- C’est une affirmation audacieuse.
- C'est la 1ère fois que je l’entends.
- Oui.
- Pouvez-vous nous en dire un peu plus, comment et pourquoi cela s'est-il produit ?"

Santiago Ramón y Cajal: The unique method of reflection indulged in by the Pythagoreans and followers of Plato (and pursued in modern times by Descartes, Fichte, Krause, Hegel, and more recently at least partly by Bergson) involves exploring one’s own mind or soul to discover universal laws and solutions to the great secrets of life. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Une bonne nouvelle, l'administration Trump a annoncé qu'elle cesserait de bombarder le Yémen, acceptant enfin l'offre de longue date d'Ansar Allah de cesser d'attaquer les navires américains si les États-Unis mettaient fin à leur campagne de bombardements.
Cette annonce est présentée comme une victoire par M. Trump et ses partisans, qui affirment que les Houthis ont « capitulé », mais il s'agit en fait d'une victoire pour le Yémen. Les forces yéménites ont clairement indiqué qu'elles continueraient à attaquer Israël jusqu'à ce qu'il mette fin à ses atrocités génocidaires à Gaza, ce qui était la seule raison pour laquelle les États-Unis ont commencé à bombarder le Yémen, et ces attaques étaient la seule raison pour laquelle le Yémen attaquait les navires américains. Après avoir perdu deux avions de chasse et plus de vingt drones MQ-9 Reaper dans les attaques des Houthis, les États-Unis battent en retraite, la queue entre les jambes, sans avoir rien gagné.

Boom! It's a Boy! - by Diane Engelhardt


#Gaza #genocide

One group of IDF soldiers celebrated one member’s impending fatherhood this week when they dropped a rigged bomb on a building in a civilian area in Gaza and sent up a plume of blue smoke. And guess what? They cheered and laughed! That’s right, they cheered and laughed and posted a video on social media! And nowhere was a word reported about how many baby boys and girls that bomb may have killed, mutilated or injured.

Ach was?! Vor 80 Jahren schon? Ich dachte der läuft quasi noch. Deutschland hat kapituliert und ist dann gegen die Russen als Westdeutschland Schaufenster des Westens geworden und die Ostdeutschen halt ein Land, wo man gut Salami konnte, wenn man wusste wo es sie gibt... Dann haben die sich vereinigt und alle waren fröhlich, haben ihre Waffen in die Depots gebracht und nicht viel später wieder angefangen, einen "fast" kalten Krieg zu machen. Heute denken selbst in Deutschland Leute über eigene Atomwaffen nach, weil braucht man halt. Die Dinger, die die Amerikaner hier lagern können wir bald nicht mehr verschießen, weil wir uns dann Jets aus dem Museum ausleihen müssen und alle sonstigen Mittel zum Transport in die Ukraine geliefert haben. Da passt es auch, dass man gerade über einen Atomschild mit Frankreich nachdenkt... Ist aber vllt. auch ganz gut so, wie es ist. Im Moment müssen wir gucken, was da auf uns zu kommt...

Santiago Ramón y Cajal: The intellect is presented with phenomena marching in review before the sensory organs. It can be truly useful and productive only when limiting itself to the modest tasks of observation, description, and comparison, and of classification that is based on analogies and differences. A knowledge of underlying causes and empirical laws will then come slowly through the use of inductive methods. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

LE SCANDALE DE L'IVERMECTINE


  • Par Medeea Greere
    DÉVOILÉ [28 avril 2025] : L' #ivermectine n'était pas seulement sûre, elle était révolutionnaire. Big Pharma le savait. L'État profond médical l'a enterrée. Aujourd'hui, la vérité éclate au grand jour. La guérison commence par la vérité.

Ils ont menti. Des millions de personnes en ont payé le prix. Pendant des décennies, Big Pharma et ses acolytes médiatiques ont tourné en dérision la vérité, se moquant de toute voix qui osait remettre en question leurs récits fabriqués. Ils se moquaient de ceux qui parlaient de l’ivermectine, la qualifiant de "médicament pour chevaux", ridiculisant son utilisation et noyant la vérité dans une hystérie orchestrée.
Mais maintenant, les documents émergent, les études sont indéniables et la véritable science leur explose au visage.

L'ivermectine n'a jamais été réservée aux animaux. Elle a été conçue pour un usage humain en 1987, et le complexe médical de l'État profond le savait. Ce qu'ils ont caché au public n'était pas un accident. C'était un crime calculé contre l'humanité.

DERNIÈRE MINUTE : La Caroline du Sud décide de rendre l'ivermectine et l'hydroxychloroquine disponibles sans ordonnance grâce à une loi historique.
DÉVOILÉ : ILS ONT MENTI. DES PERSONNES SONT MORTES. LA #FDA ADMET MAINTENANT QUE LES MÉDECINS AVAIENT RAISON À PROPOS DE L'IVERMECTINE
EXPOSÉ : Les médicaments « interdits » Ivermectine, Fenbendazole et Mébendazole anéantissent le cancer – Une étude évaluée par des pairs publiée en 2024, Big Pharma en mode panique totale !

L'ivermectine — l'antidote qu'ils ont tenté d'enterrer
De récentes révélations cliniques confirment désormais que l’ivermectine est bien plus qu’un #antiparasitaire. Voici ce qu’ils n’ont jamais voulu que vous découvriez :
• Il prévient les dommages cellulaires causés par les médicaments et les vaccins à base d’ARNm, en bloquant l’invasion de la protéine Spike.
• Il détruit le virus C directement dans la circulation sanguine, avant même qu’il ne puisse pénétrer dans une cellule.
• Il inverse les dommages causés par les vaccins , redonnant espoir à des millions de personnes qui ont été trompées ou contraintes.
L'ivermectine n'est pas qu'un simple traitement. C'est une défense. Une réparation. Une libération. Et ils le savaient depuis le début.
La plus grande peur de Big Pharma : un médicament qui guérit sans dépendance
L'empire pharmaceutique prospère grâce à une dépendance à vie . Son modèle exige que les patients restent suffisamment malades pour nécessiter des ordonnances à répétition, mais jamais suffisamment guéris pour s'en sortir.
L’ivermectine brise ce modèle :
• Il agit comme un puissant anti-inflammatoire , sans les effets secondaires dévastateurs des corticostéroïdes.
• Il renforce les muscles , régénère les nerfs et combat l’inflammation systémique à sa base.
• Il guérit les maladies auto-immunes — polyarthrite rhumatoïde, fibromyalgie, psoriasis, maladie de Crohn — des maladies auxquelles Big Pharma enchaîne les patients à vie.
Chaque fonction restaurée par l'ivermectine représente un dollar perdu pour le cartel. Il a donc fallu la tourner en dérision. La censurer. L'effacer de la mémoire collective.
Combattre le cancer, les maladies cardiaques et les troubles neurologiques — naturellement
De nouvelles données révèlent désormais que les avantages de l’ivermectine s’étendent au-delà des maladies infectieuses :
• Il améliore la fonction cardiaque , prévenant l’hypoxie cardiaque lors d’événements emboliques.
• Il présente une activité antinéoplasique , supprimant la croissance tumorale et les métastases.

Eric Montana Officiel, [07/05/2025 15:47]
2/2 • Il améliore l’efficacité de la chimiothérapie , tuant même les cellules cancéreuses résistantes à la chimiothérapie.
• Il régénère les nerfs du système nerveux central — un coup dévastateur porté au monopole des grandes sociétés pharmaceutiques sur les "marchés de traitement" neurodégénératifs.
En d’autres termes : l’ivermectine aurait pu économiser des millions – et des milliards de dollars – en pertes de profits pour l’industrie pharmaceutique.
Renforcement de l'immunité, sauvetage métabolique et transformation de la santé mondiale
Mais la liste des trahisons ne s’arrête pas là.
• Il renforce l’immunité des patients atteints de cancer , améliorant ainsi leur survie et leur qualité de vie.
• Il combat les infections virales chroniques comme l’herpès simplex et le zona.
• Il régule le glucose et l’insuline , inversant potentiellement les troubles métaboliques comme le diabète de type II.
• Il réduit la graisse du foie , contrant ainsi l’explosion mondiale de la stéatose hépatique.
Imaginez un monde où les hôpitaux ne déborderaient pas. Imaginez un monde où les taux de maladies chuteraient naturellement. Imaginez un monde sans les chaînes dorées des grandes entreprises pharmaceutiques.
Ils l’ont imaginé aussi — Et c’est pourquoi ils se sont battus pour enterrer l’Ivermectine avec toutes les armes dont ils disposaient.
Le rideau tombe sur l'État médical profond
La vérité sur l'ivermectine représente plus qu'un scandale scientifique. C'est la révélation d'un système industriel conçu non pas pour guérir, mais pour récolter des corps, des vies et des avenirs.
Big Pharma et ses marionnettistes de l'État profond ont mené une guerre pour trouver un remède. Ils ont préféré le profit à la vie humaine. Ils ont ri pendant que le monde brûlait.
Mais leur rire s'éteint. Les documents refont surface. Les gens s'éveillent.
Et maintenant, alors que la tendance s’inverse, il n’y aura plus d’oubli ni de pardon.
La guérison commence par la vérité. La justice commence par la révélation. La victoire commence par ne plus jamais laisser l'ennemi dicter nos vies.

Quotes

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
