"The blockade of food and humanitarian aid, imposed on Gaza since March 2, is reducing Palestinians to abject dependence. To eat, they must crawl towards their killers and beg. Humiliated, terrified, desperate for a few scraps of food, they are stripped of dignity, autonomy and agency. This is by intent."
Israel is weaponizing starvation. The objective is to dismantle all remnants of civil society and reduce Palestinians to herds of desperate scavengers who can be driven from historic Palestine.
Arwa Mahdawi: "It’s clear now that nothing will shame the West into stopping Israel from carrying out its “total victory” in #Gaza. But I’ve written this to serve as yet another reminder that we all knew what was coming. Nobody can feign ignorance. Nobody can pretend they didn’t know.”
Dmitry Peskov, the official spokesperson for the Kremlin, stated on Sunday that Moscow hopes the dates for the third round of negotiations with Kyiv will be determined soon.

You know, “this” used to be a perfectly innocent word. Nothing special, but a solid citizen of the grammar ecosystem. Who could have predicted it would turn into a major clickbait villain, meaning “We’re not going to tell you what this article is about until you click on it.”
FWIW I think I’m not alone in consciously avoiding clicking on such links.

Schauspieler Moritz Bleibtreu ist neuerdings auch als Regisseur tätig. Als Schauspieler zählt er zweifellos zu den Besten, die wir in #Deutschland haben. Um nur eine herausragende Leistung zu benennen, sei seine Darstellung des Bruno #Klement in Oskar #Roehlers Verfilmung aus dem Jahr 2006 des Weltbestsellers „Elementarteilchen“ von Michel #Houellebecq erwähnt. Was für eine Zusammenarbeit mit Bernd #Eichinger und Oliver #Berben als Produzenten und Corinna #Harfouch sowie weiteren hochkarätigen deutschem Personal auf der Besetzungsliste. Die Frankfurter Allgemeine nannte den Film damals zwar eine „kleine lebenszeitvernichtende Ewigkeit“, andere aber schauen #Elementarteilchen heute schon wie einen #Kultfilm in Widerholungsschleife. So verhält sich eben bisweilen die Diskrepanz zwischen Filmkritik und Filmpublikum. Zwischen Geschmack und Gefallen.
[…] Zunächst einmal bezieht Moritz Bleibtreu seine überraschende Kritik auf die Situatin des deutschen Films. Der wäre am Boden, weil die Deutschen ihre nationale Identität verloren hätten. So hätte es der deutsche Film beispielsweise verlernt, von Heldenfiguren zu erzählen, mit denen sich der Zuschauer identifizieren könnte. Interessant dürfte hier sein, inwieweit Bleibtreu erst im Rahmen seiner eigenen Regiearbeit erahren musste, was gerade auch in der Filmförderung, auf die fast jeder neue deutsche Film angewiesen ist, wie da mittlerweile schon verbindliche Diversity-Checklisten #Grundbedingung für den Antrag von #Fördergeldern sind. Und wenn der alte weiße heterosexuelle deutsche Bleibtreu in seinem Regiedebüt auch gleich die Hauptrolle spielt neben der deutschen weißen Nadja Uhl, dann kann es eben eng werden für #Fördergelder – aber das bleiben #Mutmaßungen. Moritz Bleibtreu möchte von diesem „blöden Minderwertigkeitskomplex“ der Deutschen wegkommen. Das wäre aber auf „absehbare Zeit“ kaum zu schaffen, angesichts besagter „kaputter nationale® Identität“ sei das leider nicht möglich, sagte er in einem kurzen Interview mit der Nachrichtenagentur Teleschau. Jetzt ist die Vita von Bleibtreu alles andere als geprägt von einer Suche nach einer deutschen Identität. Seine Filmografie erzählt bisweilen eher das Gegenteil als einen künstlerischen Blick in die deutsche Seele – wie auch immer. Jedenfalls dann, so man davon ausgeht, Bleibtreu verstehe unter „nationaler Identität“ das Gleiche wie mutmaßlich die Mehrheit der Deutschen. Diese Mehrheit allerdings ist aktuell zunächst unter dem Eindruck einer jahrelangen Massenmigration und zuletzt den Corona-Maßnahmenpaket der Regierung nachhaltig verstört.

The billions and billions of dollars this bill pumps into ICE far exceed any conceivable legitimate need the agency could have, even if you agree with its mission.
This bill takes the same masked, anonymous gunmen who have been kidnapping people off the streets and gives them a budget the size of a military.
This is not about honoring the law. This is not even about immigrants.

Are you using a VPN? It's still doing it to me tonight. I think it's the VPN but they never cared before. Maybe they made some changes. Funny thing is though, I can use three different VPNs and they all do the same thing.
Update: I just got on to Truth with an Amsterdam VPN server.
I might have more choices if I paid for the VPN. Two are free, one is built into my antivirus software. That's the one I pay for and the one where I can choose the country.
I have nordvpn and yes I pay for it. I also use their password locker. With both I get to use on 5 devices so it minimizes the cost between the family.

Partial Google translate: We move from one place to another, from one bombardment to the next, in an attempt to keep up with the insane escalation on Gaza City and the north. With every talk of negotiations or deals for a ceasefire, the bombing intensifies, scenes of evacuation and displacement expand, and the stranglehold tightens on over a million Palestinians, trapped between death, hunger, and siege.

I like all of those articles and the news. It's the real news. I especially liked those Irish burning that shit down . These sonofabitches that let children and women get raped, killed then hold the people back need to be rounded up and sent to the Jungles and deserts in the areas where they started the problems . Little by little the mind conditioning has taken place. Now people just turn their heads or watch like it's a sporting event and say they deserved it. It's coming to them. They are just too afraid to face it and think they will be spared by these animals if they are obedient. Bullshit. These Satanists enjoy murder and suffering. They have no soul.
You are 6,000,000% correct! I know someone that perfectly fits that description because someone mentioned project Esther and now he loves his filthy-jew masters and is a trumpbergsteinian. He thinks that being an obedient slave will get him spared. He knows what's going on as I opened his eyes to it, but now he chooses to be ignorant to it. 😠
@phlfie I think people are so blind and insecure that they will join any group just so they have a direction or something like a family that agrees with them.

Batteries are so cheap, solar doesn’t sleep. Thanks to plummeting prices, analysts say that solar plus batteries can now provide round-the-clock power in the sunniest parts of the world, undercutting fossil gas and reshaping grid planning. Cities like Muscat, Oman, and Las Vegas can already hit that steady power mark for up to 99% of the hours in a year, while Hyderabad, Madrid, and Buenos Aires can get 80-95% of the way there using the same setup. Ember ember-energy.org/latest-insigh… #ShareGoodNewsToo
Batteries are now cheap enough to unleash solar energy’s full potential, getting as close as 97% of the way to delivering constant electricity supply 24 hours across 365 days cost-effectively in the sunniest places.

Michael Hastings uncovered the early build‑out of U.S. metadata surveillance and classified intelligence operations by showing how NSA and allied agencies harvested billions of phone records, email headers and internet communications under secret court orders and classified directives that bypassed traditional warrants. He traced how the Patriot Act and subsequent statutes fused counterterrorism, foreign intelligence gathering and domestic law enforcement into a pervasive monitoring apparatus, laying groundwork for public debate long before Snowden’s 2013–14 disclosures. On June 18, 2013 Hastings died in a high‑speed, single‑vehicle crash in Los Angeles after voicing fears of being followed. The crash’s extreme violence, total destruction of his car and anomalies in the forensic data fueled suspicions of electronic tampering. No official inquiry found foul play, yet many journalists and investigators believe his exposés of sensitive military and intelligence programs may have played a role. Vault 7 leaks in 2017 revealed that by October 2014 the CIA’s Embedded Devices Branch had engineered malware and firmware backdoors targeting vehicle control systems—capable of covertly manipulating brakes, steering and engine management—demonstrating that intelligence agencies had the tools to weaponize modern automobiles.
