Ex-UK Ambassador: war on Syria continues with US occupation, sanctions, propaganda

Wanted for War Crimes: ICC Issues Arrest Warrants for Netanyahu & Gallant over Gaza

Democracy Now!   The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for crimes against humanity and war crimes committed during Israel's assault on Gaza. The court also issued a warrant for Hamas's military chief Mohammed Deif, whom Israel said they killed in August.    This is a major development on the international stage, says HuffPost correspondent Akbar Shahid Ahmed, particularly in its implications for U.S. culpability in Israeli war crimes. The Biden administration, as Netanyahu's "ultimate enabler," is visibly "totally alone" in its refusal to recognize Israel's crossing of "red lines," as even its ally nations who are party to the ICC are now legally required to cooperate with the court's decision.

Canadians Want OUT OF Ukraine & NATO! Huge Protest!

Mouin Rabbani on What Really Happened in Amsterdam Between Israeli Soccer Fans & Local Residents

Democracy Now!   Dutch Palestinian analyst Mouin Rabbani discusses the violence that broke out last week between visiting Israeli soccer fans and pro-Palestinian protesters in Amsterdam.    The Dutch authorities made over 60 arrests, and at least five people were hospitalized as a result of the clashes, which local and international leaders were quick to brand as antisemitic, even though observers in Amsterdam have said it was Israeli hooligans who instigated much of the violence.    Rabbani says that while it's common for rival teams' fans to get into skirmishes, what happened in Amsterdam was different. " What we're talking about here in Amsterdam is not a clash between the hooligans of two opposing sides, but rather these Israeli thugs attacking people who, in principle, had nothing to do with the game, and then afterwards being confronted by their victims, " Rabbani says.

Συνεχίζεται ο πονοκέφαλος για τους ολιγάρχες παρά το ανέλπιστο δώρο από την αυτοκτονία του ΣΥΡΙΖΑ

του system failure   Όπως είχαμε αναφέρει αμέσως μετά τις εθνικές εκλογές του 2023, παρά τη μεγάλη νίκη Μητσοτάκη, οι μιντιακοί ινστρούχτορες της καθεστωτικής προπαγάνδας εμφανίστηκαν σε γενικές γραμμές "μουδιασμένοι" και αυτό οφείλεται στο γεγονός ότι το συστημικό κατεστημένο (δηλαδή τα μεγάλα οικονομικά συμφέροντα που ελέγχουν και το σύνολο των μεγάλων ΜΜΕ πανελλαδικής εμβέλειας), πέτυχε μόνο έναν από τους τέσσερις μεγάλους στόχους που είχε θέσει εξ'αρχής. Μιλώντας με ποδοσφαιρικούς όρους, ουσιαστικά έχασε με σκορ 3-1.   Ο μεγάλος στόχος που επετεύχθη, είναι ο κατακερματισμός του Αριστερού, κεντροαριστερού χώρου με διάχυση της ψήφου σε ΣΥΡΙΖΑ, ΠΑΣΟΚ, ΚΚΕ και Πλεύση Ελευθερίας. Και γι'αυτό το αποτέλεσμα συνέβαλε αποφασιστικά η μιντιακή υπεροπλία του καθεστώτος Μητσοτάκη.  Οι τρεις στόχοι που δεν κατάφερε να πετύχει η ντόπια ολιγαρχία είναι συνοπτικά, η στρατηγική ήττα ΣΥΡΙΖΑ και αντικατάστασή του από το ΠΑΣΟΚ, η απομάκρυνση Μητσοτάκη και το "ρετουσάρισμα...

Leaks expose secret British military cell plotting to ‘keep Ukraine fighting’

Leaked files show top UK military figures conspired to carry out the Kerch bridge bombing, covertly train “Gladio”-style stay-behind forces in Ukraine, and groom the British public for a drop in living standards caused by the proxy war against Russia.   by Kit Klarenberg   Part 6 - Alchemy plotters seek to place Britain at lead of war with Russia   In addition to playing a leading role in media manipulation, Alchemy sought to place Britain at the forefront of the International Criminal Court’s agenda to investigate and prosecute the Russian government for alleged war crimes in Ukraine. Alchemy suggested London “ set international conditions, collection mechanisms and funding for collection of data and evidence ” in the proxy conflict, and “ provide all possible support, including intelligence ” to the ICC “ in its efforts to investigate war crimes, ” just as British spies did for the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY).  Though not named ...

How the Western media covered up Israel's genocidal intent from day one

As arrest warrants are issued for Israeli leaders, it must not be forgotten that they confessed to their crimes from the start. Western media outlets chose to suppress the truth   by Owen Jones   Part 1 - Israel said exactly what it would do from the start The International Criminal Court has finally issued arrest warrants for war crimes and crimes against humanity for Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defence minister, Yoav Gallant. Any other outcome would have defied reason - because no crime in modern history has been so confessed to by its perpetrators - with so much shamelessness, pride and relish - as Israel’s genocide in Gaza. To understand what Israel planned to do from the very beginning, you required no special intuition, no access to leaked top secret documents. You simply needed to listen to what Israeli political and military leaders and officials said in public, and take them literally. Such statements proved the most accurate roadmap to predict the crimes Israel...
