Seminar on the 80th Anniversary of the WFTU in South Africa #WFTU wftucentral.org/seminar-on-the…

This week, Denmark received 4 more of the new F-35s which will replace the F-16s we have donated to Ukraine.

This brings the number of delivered F-35s to 21, and sometime in 2026, we will have received all of the 27 planes we ordered from Lockheed Martin back in 2016.

27 planes may sound like a lot for a tiny island nation, but The Kingdom of Denmark also includes Greenland which is so long it could reach from Canada to Mexico if it was placed on top of the US.

ATTENTION!

The CIA / Fake News Media “white wash” is in place.

image.nostr.build/df334caad151…

The CIA is attempting to make this report about analytic judgements, incomplete debates, and process fouls, it is anything but.

The report instead demonstrates a complete falsification of a document used specifically to incite a coup against a duly elected POTUS .

Heads need to roll and people MUST be investigated to include the analysts who wrote the product that caused all of America to be yanked through a knothole.

📢 SNHR JUL-04: This report provides a summary of the deaths that occurred in the first half of 2025 as well as the month of June, shedding light particularly on victims who died due to #torture, as well as documenting the massacres perpetrated by the parties to the conflict and controlling forces in Syria during this period (AR/EN)

🔹 The report also outlines the action taken by SNHR regarding the issue of documenting extrajudicial killings in #syria

Legislating Catastrophe: How U.S. Lawmakers Are Enabling Israeli Aggression and Sabotaging Diplomacy with #Iran
Scott #Rickard

In a stunning display of bipartisan militarism, Representatives Josh Gottheimer (D–NJ) and Mike Lawler (R–NY) have introduced legislation that would authorize #Trump to provide #Israel with advanced military capabilities, including B-2 stealth bombers and Massive Ordnance Penetrators (MOPs), also known as bunker-buster bombs, under the pretext of deterring Iran from pursuing a nuclear weapons program. The proposal, far from being a safeguard against nuclear proliferation, amounts to a green light for unprovoked and illegal military aggression against a sovereign nation.¹

This legislation serves not as a tool of deterrence, but as a deliberate provocation designed to entrench Israel’s long-standing policy of regional escalation. It is especially alarming given Israel’s history of unauthorized military strikes on Iranian soil and other extraterritorial operations, which violate international law and Article 2(4) of the UN Charter, which prohibits the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.²

Authorizing a unilateral #US transfer of strategic bombers and weapons capable of penetrating hardened #nuclear sites undermines diplomacy and directly threatens regional and global stability. Israel’s covert and overt attacks on Iranian nuclear scientists, military infrastructure, and civilian facilities have not only escalated tensions, but have also led Iran to harden its defensive posture and withdraw from international nuclear agreements such as the #JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action), largely due to the Trump administration's earlier abandonment of the accord.³

By preparing to arm Israel for a preemptive military strike, the proposed legislation would draw the United States into a foreign war that the American public overwhelmingly opposes.⁴ This path not only jeopardizes regional diplomacy but also places U.S. military personnel, diplomats, and civilians across the Middle East in immediate danger of retaliation—not from rogue actors, but from state-level retribution by Iran, a sovereign nation with formidable military capabilities.

Moreover, the framing of this legislation as a defensive measure conceals its actual function: enabling a continued campaign of aggression, expansionism, and lawlessness under the false veneer of national security. Israel, a nuclear-armed state that has refused to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), maintains an arsenal outside of international inspection and oversight.⁵ Supporting Israel’s unilateral military actions while Iran remains a signatory to the NPT represents a brazen double standard in U.S. foreign policy and a reckless betrayal of international norms.

Rather than deterring conflict, the proposed bill would accelerate it. The U.S. has a moral, strategic, and legal obligation to resist being drawn into another war of choice—particularly one fought at the behest of a foreign power whose recent actions have been condemned as aggressive and destabilizing.⁶ The American people deserve leadership that prioritizes peace, not political subservience to a foreign military agenda.

Hopefully, SCOTUS will do the right thing and rule that it is unconstitutional to ban them. Banning them is openly sexist.

Further, the trannie invasion of female "sports" is the best thing that has happened for conservative/traditionalists in a long time. Female sports have one purpose and purpose only, to masculinize our daughters. Plus they're the largest source for lesbian recruitment. They need to be destroyed, and allowing fake men to participate will do that.

Antarctic waters getting saltier as sea ice wanes

Southern Ocean sea ice

Using data from ESA’s SMOS satellite, scientists have revealed a surprising shift in the Southern Ocean – surface waters around Antarctica are growing saltier, even as sea ice is diminishing rapidly. This finding defies the norm because melting ice typically freshens ocean surface water.

The implications are far-reaching as changes in this remote region can disrupt global ocean currents, affect climate patterns, and alter ecosystems far beyond the Antarctic.

« Allez donc persuader un homme affamé qu'il est juste qu'il ne mange pas, surtout quand c'est lui qui a produit la nourriture. Tant qu'il n'y pense pas il va de l'avant bénissant Dieu et le patron de ce que ça ne va pas plus mal, c'est bien. Mais du moment qu'il commence à réfléchir sur sa condition, tout est fini : il devient un ennemi irréconciliable. »

« Le #capitalisme est le même partout. Il a besoin pour vivre et prospérer d’un état permanent de demi-famine. Il en a besoin pour maintenir élevé les prix des marchandises et aussi pour trouver toujours des affamés prêts à travailler à n'importe quelle condition. »

« La vérité est, que pour la terre comme pour les autres richesses, l'origine de la propriété est la violence. Et vous ne réussirez à la justifier qu'en admettant ce principe : le droit, c'est la force. »

« Selon moi, la propriété individuelle est injuste et immorale parce qu'elle tire son origine ou de la force brutale, ou de la fraude, ou de l'exploitation légale du travail d'autrui ; elle est nuisible parce qu'elle entrave la production, parce qu'elle empêche de recevoir de la terre et du travail, tout ce qui est nécessaire à la satisfaction des besoins de tous les êtres humains ; elle est encore nuisible parce qu'elle crée la misère des masses et engendre la haine, les crimes et la plupart des maux qui affligent la société moderne. »

« Cherchez à pénétrer dans l'esprit de notre programme et ne vous préoccupez pas trop des formules qui, dans notre parti comme dans tous les autres, ne sont qu'une manière concise et frappante, mais presque toujours vague et inexact, d'exprimer une tendance. »

« L'organisation sociale actuelle est une cause permanente d'antagonismes et de conflits entre les classes et les individus ; et si la société peut, malgré cela, se maintenir sans dégénérer littéralement en une horde de loups se dévorant les uns les autres, c'est justement grâce au profond instinct social humain qui provoque ses milles actes de solidarité, de sympathie, de dévouement, de sacrifice qu'on accomplit à chaque instant, sans même y penser. »

« Une volonté populaire générique, abstraite, n'est qu'un idéal métaphysique. »

« Une société proprement dite n'existe qu'entre égaux et les égaux ont l'habitude de s'entendre entre eux s’ils y trouvent plaisir et avantage, mais non de s’assujettir l’un l'autre. »

« L'influence de la police sur le nombre et l'importance des délits est à peu près nulle. En effet, quelles que soient les réformes dans l'organisation de la magistrature, de la police et des prisons, que l'on augmente ou que l'on diminue le nombre de policiers, tant que les conditions économiques et morales du peuple ne changent pas, la criminalité reste sensiblement la même. »

« En général, les actes punissent ceux qui lèsent les privilèges que les riches se sont attribués et ce qui attaquent le gouvernement dans l'exercice de son autorité. De sorte que la police, efficace ou non, est destinée à protéger non pas la #société tout entière, mais les privilégiés, et à tenir le peuple soumis. »

« La révolution sera violente, parce que vous, la classe dominante, vous vous appuyez sur la #violence et ne montrez aucune disposition à céder pacifiquement. »

« C'est nous les #prolétaires, la classe opprimée, qui sommes les électriciens et les gaziers, c'est nous qui conduisons les locomotives, c'est nous qui fabriquons les explosifs et forons les mines, c'est nous qui dirigeons les automobiles et les aéroplanes, c'est nous les soldats… Et c'est nous, hélas, qui vous défendons contre nous-mêmes ! Vous ne vivez que par la volonté inconsciente de vos victimes. Prenez garde à l'éveil des consciences. »

« Le #communisme établi par la volonté du gouvernement, et non par l'action directe et volontaire des groupes de travailleurs, ne me plaît vraiment pas. S'il était possible, il serait la plus étouffante tyrannie à laquelle ait jamais été soumise une société humaine. »

Le big problème c’est que la bourgeoisie est le rêve du prolétaire. Trouver quelqu’un qui travaille pour toi en te versant les 80 % du revenu de son labeur….. c’est difficile de faire plus rêver que ça ! Heureusement l’éducation est là pour reproduire les castes avec le minimum d’interférence entre elles. Ça serait ingérable autrement. Chacun à sa place….mais vous pouvez toujours rêver !!! Avec ça le « rêve du prolétaire révolutionnaire » a quelque peu du plomb dans l’aile !!(

Trying to install Garuda on Surface Pro 5


Only thing that happens is that I get a black screen. Not sure what's happening, no error, nothing.

Disabled secure boot and stuff in UEFI.

Any suggestions? I feel stupid.

Edit: I'll leave it here for whomever might come next: use Ventoy to create the USB, not Rufus, and then boot in grub2 option. It's installing now, at least. Let's see...

Getting Linux on a Surface can be hard.

How did you format the USB drive? I could never get a usb to boot on my Surface Go unless it was made in Rufus using Windows. I believe you need to format the USB (with no iso) as an unbootable disc with fat32 and GPT and THEN put the iso you want on it. (Two separate operations on the same USB stick.)

There's also a custom Linux Kernel just for Surfaces that you can use for better driver compatibility.

Edit: I see you mentioned Ventoy. I got some ISOs to work with it, but most didn't. Then again, I couldn't get some ISOs to work with Rufus either.

Federated Services

Federated Services are services which many instances form a network to provide a greater whole than the sum of their parts, each participant in the Fediverse is an “instance”. A message or other item made available on one instance is visible and available on other instances.

We make these services available to all people who do not abuse it in order to promote the values of Free Speech, and those of the United States Constitution First Amendment. A free republic is not possible without free speech and commercial mainstream media do not provide it. We also get some advertisement benefit from hosting these, it is our hope that people who see how fast and responsible our ser
vices are will decide to do hosting or use other paid services here.

There are numerous federated services available, we offer Macrobloging platform Friendica, Hubzilla; Microbloging services Mastodon, Misskey, a federated search engine, Yacy, and a federated cloud service, Nextcloud.

Macrobloging services are message systems that allow long form posts similar in format to Facebook. These allow for works of fiction, poetry, technical papers, news items, short stories, and more. These formats are most useful for discussion of social issues.

Microbloging services allow only short form posts similar in format to Twitter. While you can link to larger articles elsewhere, you have a relatively short character limit and so can not post them directly.

Censorship, is handled much different on the fediverse than on mainstream media like Twitter or Facebook. On the fediverse, each individual instance is responsible for content available on that instance, but does not censor the rest of the network. Thus if you find the rules of one instance too constraining you can move to another.

Federated search engines are analogous to federated message systems in that each instance chooses what portion of the internet it wants to crawl. When you enter a search term, the local instance queries all of the federated instances, collates and sorts the results and presents them to you. As with messages, each instance can have it’s own censorship policies but no one instance can censor the enti
re network.

Given the wild-west nature of the fediverse, it is probably not suitable for children under 14, and you’re guaranteed to find some material that will offend virtually everyone. With federated search engines, material that is inappropriate will usually be flagged sensitive or nsfw (not safe for work) so as long as you don’t expand material marked as such, you can avoid this sort of material. Ther
e are occasionally people who violate these rules, we do our best to remove such individuals none the less some will get through.

We offer the following federated services:

Friendica.Eskimo.Com
Friendica is a decentralized long format macrobloging message network. It is similar in format to facebook however there is no centralized censorship. Also, it is able to federate with all other federated message systems which use ActivityPub protocol and also we have extensions that allow it to speak to several other networks via other protocols.

Hubzilla.Eskimo.Com
Hubzilla is similar in message format to Friendica in that it allows long posts. However, it specializes in it’s ability to provide connectivity to multiple protocols and so we include it in our mix of federated services primarily for the better connectivity it offers. Hubzilla provides a great deal of interoperability between many networks though ActivityPub is still it’s prim
ary protocol. Hubzilla gives you a greater degree of control over privacy than some of the other networks. You can create private channels that are served between hubzilla instances and other compatible instances.

Mastodon.Eskimo.Com
Mastodon is first and foremost an alternative to Twitter. While Twitter has Tweets, Mastodon has Toots. The format is very similar. Mastodon toots have a limit of 500 characters. Similar to the short limit of Twitter. This is why this platform is referred to as a Microbloging format. Mastodon interacts with other ActivityPub instances however when a long form blog post from another i
nstance arrives, you are only shown a short portion with a link to follow to see the full post on the originating site.

NextCloud.Eskimo.Com
Nextcloud If you are a customer of Eskimo North, your login credentials will work without a domain extension to access Nextcloud. If you are not a customer you can apply for a Nextcloud account using your choice of login and password, in this case the login should include your originating network. Some features require an Eskimo North shell account to take full advantage of.

Pixelfed.Eskimo.Com
Pixelfed is a federated pixel gallery. A place where you can share your photos to the widest audience possible, and you can view what others have shared. We now have this site also properly federated so any images you share can be viewed on any other Fediverse site by users who follow you, and you can view images posted by anyone on any fediverse site whom you follow.


Yacy.Eskimo.Com
Yacy is a federated search engine. There are several thousand instances on the Internet. Each instances crawls whatever portion of the web the administrator requested. It is also possible for the administrator of a site with relatively few resources to request a larger site to do crawls on their behalf. Unfortunately, it does not provide a method for an end user to initiate a crawl,
but if you send e-mail to support@eskimo.com and request a crawl, we will initiate a crawl on your behalf.
