C’est un fétiche et c’est une jérémiade : « l’union ». Pour quoi faire ? On ne sait pas. L’essentiel est d’être « unis ». Tous ensemble vers le talus — on finira sur le toit mais on sera restés soudés. Le gros bon sens qui tache proteste cependant : « unis, on est plus fort que divisés ; divisés on n’arrivera à rien ». Mais tellement. En matière syndicale, les prodiges de « l’union » sont encore très frais dans nos esprits, et offerts à (ne pas) être médités : c’était en 2023, à l’occasion des retraites. Pas d’erreur, on a été bien unis. Avec la CFDT. La preuve, on n’est pas « arrivés à rien » : puisqu’on a mis des millions de personnes dans la rue pendant deux mois. Pour, à la fin, perdre l’imperdable. Par alignement de « l’union » sur la mollesse politique, l’incompréhension des situations historiques et la nullité stratégique. Tous ensemble — dans la défaite. Attention, pas n’importe laquelle : une défaite triomphale, unanimement célébrée. Par la bourgeoisie – et sa presse, admirative : voilà de la bonne union, celle qui ne nous fera jamais aucun mal.

Plus: Exposing atrocities against Palestinian journalistsFreedom of the Press
Poland’s main opposition party, the national-conservative Law and Justice (PiS), has proposed an entry ban for people from certain countries in the Middle East and Africa. It says this would help stop Germany’s practice of sending migrants who have illegally crossed the border back to Poland.The proposal comes amid renewed debate over how to tackle migration, with the Polish government on Tuesday announcing the reintroduction of controls on Poland’s borders with Germany and Lithuania in an effort to prevent the “uncontrolled flow of migrants”.
After Prime Minister Donald Tusk had announced the border controls, the head of PiS’s parliamentary caucus, Mariusz Błaszczak, said that the government’s actions were “too little, too late”.
“This crisis has been going on for months,” he continued. “This issue requires far-reaching action.”
Błaszczak said that PiS would submit a bill to parliament introducing a temporary ban on entry to Poland for third-country nationals from “specific countries outside Europe…whose citizens illegally cross borders”.
Previously, on Monday, PiS party leader Jarosław Kaczyński had called for an “immediate ban on entry to the territory of Poland for people from the Middle East and North Africa”.
PiS has not yet specified which Middle Eastern and African countries would be included in its proposed ban. It says they would be selected based on analysis of data showing which nationalities most often cross borders illegally or are transferred to Poland from Germany.
A government information campaign discouraging people from trying to illegally enter Poland was recently launched in Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Iraq, Pakistan and Egypt, countries from which Poland has identified the largest numbers of people crossing the border from Belarus.
Since 2021, tens of thousands of migrants and asylum seekers – mainly from Asia and Africa – have tried to enter Poland from Belarus, with the encouragement and assistance of the Belarusian authorities.
In response, Poland has heavily fortified its eastern border with physical barriers and electronic monitoring. The government also recently banned asylum claims by people crossing from Belarus. Those measures have led to a dramatic decline in the numbers entering via that route.
In his remarks on Tuesday, Błaszczak made clear, however, that PiS’s proposed entry ban was designed to address the issue that has recently caused most controversy, which is Germany’s policy of sending back to Poland thousands of migrants who crossed the Polish-German border illegally.
Many of those sent back are Ukrainians. Others are non-Europeans, often from Asia and Africa, who have either claimed asylum in Poland – and therefore must remain there while their applications are processed – or have simply passed through it after entering the EU irregularly.
“After the introduction of this [proposed] law, Polish border guards will be able to prevent citizens of these countries from entering our territory,” said Błaszczak. “So those who are today being transferred from Germany by the German authorities, or who are trying to cross from Germany to the Polish side, will not be able to do so.”
The migrant returns carried out by Germany take place under a combination of EU regulations, bilateral agreements with Poland, and the border controls that Berlin reintroduced in 2023. Earlier this year, Tusk declared that Poland may stop adhering to such agreements.
However, some Poles have sought to take matters into their own hands, organising self-declared “citizen patrols” – some of them hundreds strong – at the German border to monitor and prevent migrant returns.
Błaszczak said that PiS politicians will be visiting the German border to make clear that “we support the border defence movement”, which he described as “Polish patriots who took matters into their own hands when Donald Tusk’s state abdicated [its responsibilities]”.
He also pledged that the party “will provide support to those who are persecuted by the current authorities of our country” for undertaking such actions, reports the Polish Press Agency (PAP).
Earlier this week, Tusk and interior minister Tomasz Siemoniak criticised the actions of the citizen patrols, saying that they are disrupting the work of border officers and spreading false claims about the number and types of migrants being transferred by Germany.

Since we all know the Jewish groups on Campus (with Administration & Political help) that did all the "antisemitism" racket since the genocide started & we know everything else they are doing now.
What if I told you Jewish groups (primarily ones that support Jewish Nazism—open & closeted) in West have been doing the same shit since atleast 1960s?
Here is the article titled that talks about it from 1985

![An early warning by the American Jewish Committee (AJC), later echoed by most major Jewish organizations, spoke of a massive Arab effort to change United States foreign policy in the Middle East. A confidential memorandum, signed on April 2, 1969, by Rabbi Marc H. Tanenbaum, director of AJC’s Interreligious Affairs Department, alerted constituents to an Arab propaganda campaign at the United Nations and its agencies, on college campuses, in American churches, and among the country’s political leadership.
The memorandum indicated the need to alert the Jewish religious and communal leadership to the rising danger on the regional, state and local levels. Other remedies included the formation of committees “to monitor Christian publications, speakers, programs, etc., that take place in church meetings,” and bureaus of “informed Jewish speakers” to speak and respond to the media. Also encouraged was “personal contacts and friendships with Christian clergy . . .

Ofcourse, same old tired "antisemitism" racket has been primarily designed to use both offensively & defensively, to neutralize anyone who opposes Jewish Nazism, Jewish Supremacy & Jewish Hegemony—use offensively,if one can get away with it, else, defensively, if it becomes difficult
Same exact techniques we saw from Jews in the 20 months are the same tactics deployed before too, against every group, using same exact "antisemitism" weapon.

Rambo III for DOS genuinely surprised me.
I’d previously played the Commodore 64 version—a predictable top-down shooter with decent graphics for the old brown breadbox, but nothing remarkable.
The DOS version, released in 1989, really stands out. It supports VGA graphics and AdLib sound, delivering crisp colors and catchy music that were impressive for the time.
What blew me away, though, was the control options. Not only does it support keyboard and joystick, but you can also move and shoot using the mouse—a rarity for the platform back then. Even better, it actually works pretty well by the standards of the day.
Rambo III came out in many versions: arcade, Master System, Genesis. The computer versions are mostly similar, each carrying quirks unique to their platforms—you could find it on Atari ST, Amiga, MSX, C64, Amstrad CPC, and even ZX Spectrum.
The DOS release covers CGA, EGA, and VGA graphics modes plus a variety of sound options, offering a surprisingly eclectic experience. While critics favored the Genesis version, I think the DOS port holds its own. It’s more than playable and can deliver some solid fun.
