the unbalanced evolution of homo sapiens

Successive United Nations investigations have documented Israel's genocide, yet western regimes still refuse to name it or deliver the accountability their own institutions demand by Hossam Shaker Part 2 - Double standards It is entirely understandable that the allies of a regime of occupation and genocide, or those who consider themselves Israel's partners and friends, would avoid issuing a clear condemnation of conduct they themselves helped support and encourage, directly or indirectly, even if only through silence and denial of its atrocities. Throughout this prolonged season of horrors, the Israeli side has enjoyed military and political backing, as well as propagandistic cover, through carefully crafted formulas uttered by senior European and western officials. These amounted to evasive justifications for whatever war crimes and grave violations an occupying authority and its military forces might commit against a population left utterly exposed to continuous bombardment....

Netanyahu said that an Iranian nuclear strike on Israel would be like “10,000 tons of TNT falling on a country the size of New Jersey (22,610 km2).” Israel has dropped 223,000+ tonnes of explosives on Gaza (365 km2) - the equivalent of 22 nukes on 1.6% the size of New Jersey. pic.twitter.com/tr3iYpHN3I — Mohamad Safa (@mhdksafa) July 9, 2026

The Jimmy Dore Show    

του system failure   Θυμάμαι μια φράση που είχε ειπωθεί κάποτε σε κάποια εκπομπή της πάλαι ποτέ ποιοτικής ΕΡΤ, σχετικά με την επταετία της χούντας των συνταγματαρχών και το πως επέδρασε στον ψυχισμό του Έλληνα. 'Χάσαμε την αθωότητά μας', είναι η απόδοση αυτής της φράσης και μου φάνηκε τότε κάπως υπερβολικό, αλλά με τα χρόνια, κατάλαβα ακριβώς τι σήμαινε. Είναι δυνατόν, τα μόλις επτά χρόνια, έστω και ενός σκληρού καθεστώτος, να επηρεάσουν τόσο βαθιά τον ψυχισμό ενός ολόκληρου έθνους για δεκαετίες; Φαίνεται πως ναι.   Ο μέσος Έλληνας, που είχε συνηθίσει να υποπτεύεται τον οποιονδήποτε ως καταδότη του μαύρου καθεστώτος και άρα έπρεπε να προσέχει πως συμπεριφέρεται, αλλά και να αυτολογοκρίνεται, ανέπτυξε ανάλογα συμπεριφορικά μοτίβα και μετά την πτώση του καθεστώτος. Έγινε καχύποπτος με τον δίπλα του, αλλά και με το ίδιο το κράτος (όχι άδικα στις περισσότερες περιπτώσεις), περιχαρακώθηκε γύρω από το μικρό του οικογενειακό βασίλειο και δεν ξαναβρήκε ποτέ αυτή τη "χαμένη αθωότητ...

The Jimmy Dore Show   In this interview segment, investigative journalist Christian Parenti tells Jimmy Dore that modern U.S. policy toward Cuba is driven less by opposition to socialism and more by Cuba's continued sovereignty and symbolic resistance to American influence, despite decades of economic liberalization. He discusses how Cuba has increasingly embraced private enterprise while U.S. sanctions and embargoes continue to intensify, limiting investment and contributing to severe economic hardship.   The conversation also explores Cuba's historical conflicts with the CIA, including intelligence operations, the Bay of Pigs, and Cold War-era tensions, as factors shaping current U.S. policy. The interview concludes with a discussion of whether normalized relations are possible, the risks of escalating conflict, and broader questions about U.S. foreign policy and intelligence operations.

URGENT: Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s life is in immediate danger, Physicians for Human Rights Israel and his lawyer warned Saturday, after a prison visit revealed the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital bearing fresh, severe injuries to his head, eyes, ears, and neck, so disfigured his own attorney initially struggled to recognize him. 🔹Attorney Nasser Odeh, who saw Abu Safiya Thursday at the underground Rakefet interrogation facility in Nitzan Prison, said he arrived shackled hand and foot, escorted by masked guards, struggling to breathe and speak, unable to sit upright, and repeatedly on the verge of losing consciousness.  🔹Abu Safiya told him that after his Supreme Court appeal was heard June 10, four or five guards entered his solitary cell at Ganot Prison and beat him with a hammer and batons, and that since his June 24 transfer to Rakefet he has been beaten daily, losing consciousness several times without receiving medical treatment. 🔹“This is the last time you will see me,” he ...
