Historian and military analyst Scott Ritter stated that the fundamental reason Israel struck Iran’s nuclear and military facilities was to change the ruling regime in the country. ‘Current reports indicate that Iran may declare war on Israel.
The Middle East is On Fire Because “Israeli” and U.S. Imperialism Lit the Match — BAP
Overnight, the zionist entity of Israel escalated its war of aggression against Iran by launching unprovoked attacks on the Islamic Republic. The notion that a rogue ethnostate that is currently carrying out a genocide believes that it possesses the right to determine which countries can and cannot develop a nuclear weapon is both bizarre and egregious as well as brazenly hypocritical, and further demonstrates that the State of Israel operates firmly within the structures of white “supremacy” ideology, colonialism, and imperialism. Iran, like all sovereign nations, has the right to defend itself from aggression and uphold its security in the face of repeated threats and acts of war. This stands in stark contrast to Israel, which operates a settler colonial occupation of Palestine, as well as portions of Lebanon and Syria.
The idea of Israel, the zionist occupation, claiming a moral position is absurd. And the fact that the international community continues to give Israel any credibility is a dereliction of duty and forms a vacuum of morality for all of those who do not stand resolutely against its genocide in Palestine and its attacks on Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, and Iran. Israel’s immunity granted by Western colonial nations is a further reflection of the moral gulf between these states and the vast majority of humankind that subscribes to values that uphold People(s)-Centered Human Rights, self-determination, and dignity.
Israel’s unprovoked attack is another example of the lawlessness that is fully supported by the U.S. The Black Alliance for Peace (BAP) rejects the notion that the U.S. was unaware of this attack. The U.S. had the ability to stop this attack if it was serious about containing Israel’s perpetual war crimes and disregard for international law, which is a major threat to any form of true peace. The combination of Israel’s continued genocidal assaults and ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian people, and its bombings and occupations of portions of the sovereign nations of Syria and Lebanon prove that Israel and the U.S. are the most dangerous nations in the world. Their power must be dismantled.
To conflate Israel’s actions with Jewish values is the height of antisemitism. Zionism, an ideology of white “supremacy,” must be wholly separated from Judaism’s teachings of justice, human rights, and inclusivity. Israel is no more a “Jewish state” than the U.S. is a “Christian state.” Both are violent constructs of ethnonationalism. BAP firmly rejects the conflation of Judaism with the barbarism of zionism, just as we denounce the antisemitic trope that equates zionism with Judaism itself.
Israel’s militarism further threatens global stability by spiking the price of oil by 8 percent in one night. This economic shockwave further demonstrates why we must continue linking the devastation of war with the devastation associated with the climate catastrophe that is fueled by capitalist war profiteering interests of fossil fuel cartels and the military industrial complex who both benefit from the Israeli war machine at the expense of human life and the ecosystems necessary to sustain it. Israel’s aggression is capitalism’s credit card with an unlimited spending limit.
History will remember this moment and Israel’s barbaric acts as an indelible and ignominious stain on international “law” and cooperation, people(s)-centered human rights and the basic tenets of human dignity.
In Response, BAP Demands that :
The UN Security Council and European Union impose immediate sanctions and consequences for Israel’s illegal acts, and institute an arms embargo.
The international community must expel Israel from the United Nations. It has no place among fraternal nations.
The international community categorically reject Israel’s fraudulent claims to jurisdiction over Iran’s lawful nuclear energy program.
The IAEA investigate Israel’s unregulated nuclear program with the same rigor applied to others.
U.S. lawmakers enforce laws prohibiting military aid to human rights violators by cutting off all arms transfers to Israel or face prosecution at the ICC and ICJ for complicity in war crimes.
The ICC indict and prosecute Israeli and U.S. officials for continued war crimes throughout West Asia and the lawlessness of genocide perpetuated against the Palestinian people.
All anti-imperialist, anti-war, pro-peace movements and organizations support Iran’s right to sovereignty, self-defense, and self-determination against Israel’s murderous aggression.
No Compromise! No Retreat!

can't have an axle flinging off grease cause it'll fail eventually and that's no fun. i also re-lubricated the pins on a brake caliper that is behaving strangely. seems to be binding slightly although braking is fine. idk might need to replace that but we'll see if this helps

We have been communicating on the lack of funds in the Foundation for a while now, the latest being here. And whilst we’ve been working hard to gather new members and are happy to see the number of logos increasing (thank you all for seeing the need for Matrix to stay independent and safe, and the value in supporting it!), none of the big players in the ecosystem have actually committed to one of the higher membership tiers, so we need to find other ways towards sustainability.
A peer-reviewed article—on Indigenous dance in Palestine and Native North America as resistance to genocide—was formally accepted then rejected by the editors of The Journal of Somaesthetics, citing fear of criticizing Israel’s genocide.

Lyrics: Cover my ears and close my eyes Just long enough to stop the noise Go and take everything and throw it away But I will use my voice
Drown every truth in an ocean of lies Label me bitch because I dare to draw my own line Burn every bridge and build a wall in my way But I will use my voice
Whether you like it or not, you're gonna take what I got If we can't talk about it, we'll just keep drowning in it Give me credit or not I give a lot, give a lot But don't you speak for me No, don't you speak for me
Nevermind me, I'm a waste of your time I'm never gonna fit in the box that you need And I can read between the lines, yeah Gather your friends and wave your gun in my face But I will use my voice
Whether you like it or not, you're gonna take what I got If we can't talk about it, we'll just keep drowning in it Give me credit or not I give a lot, give a lot But don't you speak for me No, don't you speak for me
Whether you like it or not Whether you like it or not Whether you like it or not Whether you like it or not One day soon it's gonna fall back on you No more lies, we're gonna break right through Like it or not
If we can't talk about it, we'll just keep drowning in it Give me credit or not I give a lot, give a lot But don't you speak for me
No, don't you speak for me Whether you like it or not Don't you speak for me!

My view is feminism was never about women's interests, it was about corporation getting cheaper labors interest. More laborers on the labor market means lower labor rate, and fuck the consequences on the human race so long as profit's are up.
If this was the case, then it was rather short-sighted, since we have now, across the board, a dramatic drop in birthrates in almost every country. A significant reason given is 'time', or lack thereof, to spend on more than one kid, if any at all.
Of course, this low birthrate, in some places even below extinction level, coincides with the drive towards automation and the rise of AI and other technologies to make large swathes of human 'workers' redundant anyway. So perhaps that was the long-term plan; to reduce the 'useless eaters' just in time.
Fuck yeah! Separating mothers from their babies is a crime against nature. Don't know how women do it.
I worked my arse off with my babies always with me. They learned chopping wood, cooking, milking, making bread, clothes, furniture, cheese, herbal medicine, shelter, growing food etc etc from birth.
Now I am being punished, no income, no pension....
We stand firmly with the people of Iran, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq, all of whom continue to suffer under Israel’s relentless violence. We condemn the Israeli and U.S.-led war machine.

Lyrics: WASTED ON YOU I don’t need drugs I’m already six feet low Wasted on you Waiting for a miracle I can’t move on Feels like we’re frozen in time I’m wasted on you Just pass me the bitter truth
Love, don’t you remember we were the ones nothing could ever change and love It’s easier not to believe we have broken everything but here we are Numb my head till I can’t think anymore But I still feel the pain
I don’t need drugs I’m already six feet low Wasted on you Waiting for a miracle I can’t move on Feels like we’re frozen in time I’m wasted on you Just pass me the bitter truth
Once this was a garden This was our world All of the nightmares stayed in the dark A little too much time by yourself and you become the enemy Just look at us now Drowning slowly just to stay true
I don’t need drugs I’m already six feet low Wasted on you Waiting for a miracle I can’t move on I feel like we’re frozen in time I’m wasted on you Just pass me the bitter truth
Will I ever be the same Am I strong enough to change is it in my blood Shield my eyes to face the day Come too far to slip away But it’s killing me to go on without you
I don’t need drugs Im wasted on you Waiting for a miracle I can’t move on like we’re frozen in time I’m wasted on you Just pass me the bitter truth

High or low You never fell beneath me And I gave up on you, but I never forgot you
I can't be your friend Hold your hand while you bleed
There's nothing left to give you Nothing more I need Time to let it sleep Oh, the damage was real But nothing cut me so deep I could not heal
Don't you know we could be High or low You never fell beneath me And I gave up on you, but I never forgot you
High or low You never fell beneath me And I gave up on you But I never forgot

"The Game Is Over" Had enough I’ve really had enough Had enough of denial I’m not alright but I’m not gonna lie I don’t know that I ever was
all alone I’ve waited all alone Held it in as I played by your rules I’ve been biting my lip but I’m losing my grip I’m coming down down down
When all the hate burns off I’m left here with the pain Behind our vain devices are we all the same
Change me into something I believe in Change me so I don’t have to pretend
Take a breath and try to play along but I’m a terrible liar I feel the world like a brick on my chest and the party’s just begun
Throw the rope I’m wading Through the mud From your mouth flow a thousand truths But you know there’s only one
When all the hate burns off I’m left here with the pain
Change me into something I believe in Change me so I don’t have to pretend Sweet words they mean nothing they’re not true cause the game is over
I want it all or I want nothing at all maybe I can change me into something I believe in Change me so I don’t have to pretend Your sweet words they mean nothing save your breath The game is over

According to preliminary data, at least one person was killed and dozens were injured as a result of the recent Iranian missile barrage on central Israel.
I'm so tired of being here Suppressed by all my childish fears And if you have to leave I wish that you would just leave 'Cause your presence still lingers here And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal This pain is just too real There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears And I held your hand through all of these years But you still have all of me
You used to captivate me by your resonating light Now I'm bound by the life you left behind Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal This pain is just too real There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears And I held your hand through all of these years But you still have all of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone But though you're still with me I've been alone all along
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears I held your hand through all of these years But you still have all of me
Me, me

Going to make a blanket set of clarifications here for people who are new followers or who are unaware that I've been on a long term crusade about this issue. When I say "missile defense is fake" I don't mean that in the literal sense. What I mean is that there's been a 40 year campaign by governments, defense contractors, and military officials to deceive the public about how effective ballistic missile defense systems are, specifically.
This campaign goes back to the introduction of the Patriot, with George H.W. Bush giving a speech at a Raytheon (not kidding) factory where he claimed the Patriot had intercepted ~98% of Iraqi Scuds in the Gulf War. This was an extension of Cold War missile defense propaganda campaigns, like Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative (Star Wars). We now have solid evidence that the Patriot probably failed to intercept any Iraqi Scuds.
What the Patriot had actually done was intercept booster sections and bits of debris from Saddam's Scuds when they broke apart in the air (these were the famously old and unreliable "wobbly scuds"). These failures cost the coalition forces dearly when a Scud hit a US barracks in Saudi Arabia, killing 28 American soldiers and injuring over 100.
What we see now, over the skies of Israel, is similar, but on a much larger scale. One of the great advantages missile defense propagandists have is that they've been able to pass off every explosion in the sky as a supposed interception. Most people aren't aware that a modern ballistic missile attack will include decoys, countermeasures, and dummy missiles, and many interceptors are programmed to self destruct if they miss their target. As a result, what can look like a sky full of successful interceptions is really dozens of misses, or decoys doing their job.
The Saudis and Ukrainians have done their absolute best to play along. Long before the Ukrainians claimed 100% interception rates for hypersonic missiles, the Saudis were telling the world that the Patriots we forced them to buy had successfully shot down 100% of Yemeni drones and missiles in attacks during the Yemeni Civil War. Booster sections of missiles which automatically detach before impact were trotted out as proof. Again, the Patriot's stats were padded as intercepted boosters were claimed as intercepted warheads.
Interestingly, the only US "ally" not to play along was Israel. Having nothing to fear from criticizing their vassal state, they openly derided the Patriot after its poor showing in the Gulf War, directly contradicted Raytheon and HW's narrative, and only acquired them as a stopgap while they worked to replace them with domestically produced systems. They've now completed this process, but it's clear that they haven't been as successful at fielding a superior system as they expected to be. Their situation is desperate enough that they're now trying to recall the Patriots they threw in the trash by donating to Ukraine.
So when I talk about "air defense bros," I'm talking about people who bought into the narrative that ballistic missile defense systems can achieve high kill rates. The strategic picture changes massively if you drop from a 99% kill rate to a 90%, or even, God forbid, 50%, or even lower (likely where we are now). It means that you cannot guarantee that your military personnel, cargo ships, infrastructure, etc are anywhere close to safe.
Air defense systems are useful. They are extremely effective at shooting down aircraft and decent at shooting down cruise missiles. But even older ballistic missiles are a major challenge, and the newer classes of maneuvering, countermeasure dropping, even low-hypersonic missiles fielded by Russia, Iran, or China are likely all but impossible to shoot down.

Featured on their self-titled album "Evanescence," this track showcases Amy Lee's powerful vocals and the band's signature blend of rock and orchestral elements.

Lyrics: I will wander 'til the end of time, torn away from you
I pulled away to face the pain I close my eyes and drift away Over the fear That I will never find a way to heal my soul And I will wander 'til the end of time Torn away from you
My heart is broken Sweet sleep, my dark angel Deliver us from sorrow's hold Over my heart
I can't go on living this way I can't go back the way I came Chained to this fear That I will never find a way to heal my soul And I will wander 'til the end of the time Half alive without you
My heart is broken Sweet sleep, my dark angel Deliver us
Change Open your eyes to the light I denied it all so long, oh so long Say goodbye, goodbye
My heart is broken Release me, I can't hold on Deliver us
My heart is broken Sweet sleep, my dark angel Deliver us
My heart is broken Sweet sleep, my dark angel Deliver us from sorrow's hold
