Les distributions de nourriture gérées par le GHF à Gaza sont des sites de "meurtres orchestrés et de déshumanisation" qui doivent être fermés, selon un nouveau rapport de MSF. Une analyse des données médicales de Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), des témoignages de patients et des observations médicales de première main dans deux cliniques MSF à Gaza, montre que les forces israéliennes et les sous-traitants privés américains exercent une violence ciblée et aveugle contre les Palestiniens (…) - /

De ta confiture à ce cochon
J’en écris
Je pousse encore le bouchon
D’un cri

SOS d’un romantique
Tu vis mieux cet identique
Et je survis excentrique
Un petit peu nostalgique

Donner son miel à des ours
L’abeille le fait
Et elle ne regrette pas un pouce
En petite fée

Moi je doute avant que de donner
Et au final une calamité
Je suis si moyen qu’Alexandre
Est si lourd à prétendre

Alors « Tub » ce nom si punk
M’oblige un peu junk
A me coucher sur les radasses
Camées ou pétasses

C’est mon obole à des gogoles
Pendant ton vol avec ce drôle
Nos vies ratées sans ta conscience
Vers un regret de notre enfance

Ma confiture est étalée
Pour les cochons de lait
Tu en as eu trop cette fois
Tu vois, c’est ça la liberté

I didn't allow anything.
Did you ? Did you act or give explicit consent to something that allows it ? Are you some MAGA or some AGI cultists that voted or pushed for it ? So it's not a 'we' thing, it is a 'them' thing. And while there can be a 'them' as well as a 'it', this delusional 'we allow' thing may be a huge part of the problem.

Do you have the individual power to stop it right now ? Probably not.
This 'we' appears only when a shared convention aggregates individual acts into collective ones. 'We' aggregators exist in various forms, but the most powerful official ones being irreversibly hijacked, 'we' have to use another one.

For example, here is one aggregator that I found on the web; it doesn't seem to have mastodon representation for the moment though:

"The General Strike US
We are a decentralized network of committed individuals and organizations working towards a general strike that will liberate the disenfranchised and oppressed under the systems of capital from our local neighborhoods to our global corners as well."

Was bedeutet das?

Gaza City als eine der letzten Gebiete in Gaza die noch nicht vollständig zerstört sind ist als nächstes dran.

»The goal is to evacuate all Palestinian civilians from Gaza City to the central camps and other areas«

Bedeutet natürlich nicht "Evakuierung" sondern Vertreibung. Wer sich vertreiben lässt - unter der Drohung beschossen zu werden - geht in die Lager, die umgeben von Todeszonen sind.
»other areas« bedeutet Vertreibung ins Ausland.

Wer sich nicht vertreiben lässt, etwa weil er fürchtet dass es in den Lagern kein entkommen gibt, oder einfach über den Haufen geschossen wird, wenn er Gaza City verlässt gilt für die israelische Armee dann als zu bekämpfender Feind, egal ob Zivilist oder nicht. Sie sprechen explizit von "siege" - laut den vorher kommunizierten Plänen bedeutet das - wer bleibt, der wird verhungern, verdursten oder einfach direkt getötet. Klar genozidal

One of the biggest things weighing on me right now is the financial trade-off I’m making. I left a well-paying consulting job to build my stained glass business, and while I love the freedom and lifestyle, I’m only making about 20% of what I used to

I’ve been in Bitcoin since 2020 and have built a solid position, which gives me some peace of mind. But with how things are moving in the market, it feels like now is the time to be stacking and saving aggressively, and I just can’t do that while I’m growing my business

I believe in what I’m building,
I feel authentically myself, but it’s hard to ignore how big the opportunity cost is right now by not being in my old job

Would love to hear some perspective?

Fair enough. Only you know your age, how you feel, what doctors have said to you. If you have a clean bill of health and no known disease history in your family then you really should be guided by actuarial studies which on balance may put you in the 80-90 range. Perhaps you need to find a 50/50 split between your dream job and one that better supplements income so you don't feel like you are falling behind - if that's the feeling. All the best 👍🏻

In 2008, I experienced a severe vaccine injury from the #Twinrix #jab and developed multiple autoimmune conditions as a result.

Over the next several years, I lost my hair twice having to shave my head, was in and out of hospital, underwent multiple surgeries and had years taken from my life and my children's lives, having a mother who could not care for them.

Desperate to heal and have my life back, I went down the proverbial rabbit hole, looking into vaccines. Upon doing my research, I learned, among other things, that every single vaccine lists every single autoimmune condition as a known side effect.

Shocked by what I learned because no doctor had ever warned me about the risks of vaccines, I began to share my research findings with the people in my life. I felt obligated to warn them. But most people reacted very strangely to my revelations.

I lost many friends and family over it, on socials and in real life. People couldn't accept that I was telling the truth, even though they could have done a little bit of research past the corrupt, pharma-owned govt propaganda on the internet and easily found out for themselves. For instance, they could have simply read the vaccine inserts.

But instead, they mocked me, tried to silence me, wrote me letters about how I was wrong and they could no longer have me in their lives, openly trashed me to our mutual friends and family, to name a few things I had thrown at me. I was uninvited to family dinners and some of my best friends suddenly rejected me. This, of course, impacted my children and even my parents and siblings.

I became known as an antivaxxer and people didn't want their kids around mine because I stopped allowing my children to be injected with the ingredients I had learned were in vaccines.

I was gaslighted and refused medical treatments for declining vaccines, and told that me and my children should be sent to an island or kicked in the face. All this happened long before covid.

I don't need to tell you that covid was my previous experience multiplied by 1000. It brought the beast out in people who saw me as the enemy. I wasn't the enemy, I was a survivor trying to warn others.

Now the truth is coming out that everything I shared since 2010 about vaccines is true. I learned the hard way because I didn't question them until the twinrix shot destroyed my large intestine. After years of chronic pain and disability, I'm now living with a permanent ostomy.

Obviously not everyone is disabled by a vaccine but their toxins accumulate in our bodies so that repeated jabs bring us closer to potential tragedy. I'm not telling you this to make you hate me but because I really freaking care.

The truth is coming out, not just about the #covid jab but about all the jabs, which have been incidentally classified as "unavoidably unsafe" since 1986, yet constantly touted in the media and doctors offices as safe and effective. Pure lies. It makes me sick.

I hope that those of you who, at one time or another, have metaphorically spit in my face, remember how you treated me, and probably others too, when the full truth is revealed and you can't bury your head in the sand anymore. This is why you should never express an opinion unless you've researched something deeply AND have lived experience. It requires both to become fully informed.

I may lose a few more friends and family because of this post. If you are angry reading this, ask yourself why. You probably wouldn't mind me having a different opinion than you about other pharmaceuticals, but with jabs, you feel irrationally compelled to lash out at me.

Don't let vaccines be your religion. Our health and our children deserve for us to question everything. Blind faith in an institution that profits off our pain isn't science. It's religion. Or as some might say, it's a false idol.

Don't take my word for it. Do your research. Google Children's Health Defense and CDC whistleblower Dr. William Thompson. Read the vaccine inserts that are on the CDC website. Watch Vaxxed and read Dissolving Illusions.

And maybe, eventually, you will apologize to the people you hissed at. The ones who were telling the truth all along. Once you've gotten over your anger for being betrayed, then it is time for us all to heal, our bodies and our relationships. I'm not the enemy, I'm a friend who isn't afraid to be hated.

Last July, a team of robots explored a simulated martian landscape in Germany, guided by an astronaut aboard the International Space Station. This was the final session of the Surface Avatar experiment, a joint initiative between ESA and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) to investigate how astronauts can remotely control robotic teams.

This latest session took place at the DLR site in Oberpfaffenhofen and introduced new levels of autonomy, decision-making and realism, bringing Europe one step closer to seamless human-robot collaboration in space exploration.
