Image is of a Hezbollah missile attack on a military camp west of Jenin.


The situation between Hezbollah and Israel is rapidly escalating, with massive bombing campaigns on southern Lebanon by Israel predominantly on civilians (as the tunnels in South Lebanon are mostly unreachable to the Zionists, just like in Gaza), while Hezbollah and its allies respond with missile attacks predominantly on Israeli military facilities. Israel is spreading an evacuation order to the residents of southern Lebanese villages while also bombing their routes of escape and civilian infrastructure, similar to a terror tactic used widely in Gaza.

Northern Israel is currently under military censorship to hide their losses, so we get very little information other than what the Resistance provides and what videos and images get through the censors.

I don't know if Israel will dare a ground incursion soon, but it seems fairly likely in the coming days or weeks.

Israel-Palestine Conflict

If you have evidence of Israeli crimes and atrocities that you wish to preserve, there is a thread here in which to do so.

Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:

UNRWA reports on Israel's destruction and siege of Gaza and the West Bank.

English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account. Alt here.
English-language twitter account that collates news.
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon. - Telegram is @IbnRiad.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis. - Telegram is @EyesOnSouth.
English-language Twitter account in the same group as the previous two. - Telegram here.

English-language PalestineResist telegram channel.
More telegram channels here for those interested.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict

Sources:

Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
Simplicius, who publishes on Substack. Like others, his political analysis should be soundly ignored, but his knowledge of weaponry and military strategy is generally quite good.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists' side.

Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.

Pro-Russian Telegram Channels:

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

https://t.me/Slavyangrad ~ A few different pro-Russian people gather frequent content for this channel (~100 posts per day), some socialist, but all socially reactionary. If you can only tolerate using one Russian telegram channel, I would recommend this one.

https://t.me/gonzowarr ~ A big Russian commentator.

https://t.me/boris_rozhin ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/mod_russia_en ~ Russian Ministry of Defense. Does daily, if rather bland updates on the number of Ukrainians killed, etc. The figures appear to be approximately accurate; if you want, reduce all numbers by 25% as a 'propaganda tax', if you don't believe them. Does not cover everything, for obvious reasons, and virtually never details Russian losses.
https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses ~ Pro-Russian, documents abuses that Ukraine commits.

Pro-Ukraine Telegram Channels:

Almost every Western media outlet.

Ukraine is bombing Russia near Finnish border | TheFinnishBolshevik

Blogpost version: https://mltheory.wordpress.com/2024/09/29/ukraine-is-bombing-russia-near-the-finnish-border/

According to Russian and international media, Ukrainian drones have struck against a Russian airfield in Murmansk, at least twice this month. The earliest attack was on September 11. The news first reached most Finnish people when Finnish tabloids reported that Russia blames Finland for this attack. There was never any doubt that the drones were Ukrainian, but some Russian sources (mostly just posts on social media etc.) claimed that Finland or Norway might be the launching area of the Ukrainian drones.

Former president of Brazil, Dilma Rousseff (Workers' Party), receives highest state honor from Xi Jinping in China

President of the New Development Bank, based in Shanghai, was presented with the “Friendship Medal”

Former president Dilma Rousseff received China's Friendship Medal from Chinese president Xi Jinping on Sunday (29), at a ceremony held at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

The Friendship Medal is China's highest state honour for foreigners, awarded to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to supporting China's socialist modernization, promoting exchanges and cooperation between China and foreign countries, and safeguarding world peace.

The medal symbolizes the long-standing friendship between the people of China and the rest of the world. On September 13, Xi Jinping signed a presidential order to award national medals and national honorary titles to 15 individuals on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC), which falls on October 1.

Rousseff has chaired the New Development Bank (NDB) since March 2023. Based in Shanghai, the bank was created in 2015 by the BRICS group of emerging economies.

SCMP: Huawei’s AI chips take another step forward as Chinese firms look for Nvidia alternatives

The Ascend 910B chips, which Huawei has called on par with Nvidia’s popular A100 chips, have become a top alternative in multiple industries across the country. Its Ascend solutions were used to train roughly half of more than 70 of China’s top large language models as of last year, according to Huawei.

I'm curious if non-Huawei execs agree with the assessment that these ascend chips are comparable or closely approaching the A100. In any case, this trend really seems to imply that 2-5 years out, the age of Western chip domination will be over, if it isn't already.

Daniel Noboa, president of Ecuador, cancels his UN agenda and returns to the country to accompany the operations to fight the forest fires.

The Ecuadorian government is classifying the forest fires affecting the country as “terrorist acts” and has announced that it will give rewards to citizens who denounce the perpetrators or accomplices of the fires.

Meanwhile, Noboa was in Miami taking pictures on a yacht with his wife, while his country burned and had no electricity.

IDF says Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed in Beirut strike - The Times of Israel.

It's a direct link to the Times of Israel website.

Anyway, I hope they are wrong. Finkelstein had said in his recent interview that Iran knows if Hezbullah falls they will fall. To be frank, his saying is not far from the truth. If Iran sits on its bum and keep doing lip service it will end badly. Imagine a middle east with no opposing force to Israel, its hell.

There have been some updates on the Elon Musk vs. Brazil dispute. Elon basically took a massive L but he refused to admit it. Basically he agreed to make all the stuff the Brazilian Supreme Court asked, and agreed to shut the fuck up (Elon is such a coward loser, that he would behind the scenes say he is sorry, but publicly would be like "I am cool and fuck eveyone else!". Because he has a huge ego, he probably is afraid of losing "credit" with the Bazinga chuds that like him).

But he also plans on posting on twitter that he agreeing to ban a bunch of Brazilian neo-nazis and paying his debt with Brazil is actually a W and totally not a big L, because that way people in Brazil will have free speech again (which just means being able to access Twitter).

FFS the futurama suicide pods are literally real now

Several arrested after woman dies in 'suicide pod'

spoilerPolice in Switzerland made multiple arrests after a woman reportedly ended her life using a so-called suicide pod, in apparently the first case of its kind.

Police in the Schaffhausen region said they arrested "several persons" on suspicion of inciting, and aiding and abetting suicide after she died reportedly by using a pod made by the company Sarco on Monday.

While assisted dying is legally protected in some circumstances in Switzerland, it is strictly regulated and the Sarco pod has encountered opposition.

Officers recovered the device and body at the scene.

Warning: Contains distressing content

The company behind the controversial pod says it can be solely operated by the person seeking to end their own life, without medical supervision.

Police said it was used on Monday at a forest hut in the Merishausen area, a sparsely populated part of Switzerland on the German border.

Police said they were tipped off by a law firm about a suicide involving the device. The number of people arrested and their identities were not disclosed. The deceased also was not named.

In July, a pro-assisted dying group, which promotes the Sarco device, said it anticipated that it would be used for the first time this year.

Advocates say it provides an option not reliant on drugs or doctors, and that it expands access to euthanasia as the portable device can be 3D-printed and assembled at home.

However, there also has been opposition in Switzerland, despite the country having some of the world's most protective laws surrounding assisted dying.

Critics fear the device's modern design glamorises suicide and the fact that it can be operated without medical oversight is concerning.

Assisted dying is illegal in the UK and in most other European countries, but thousands have travelled to Switzerland over the years to end their own lives.
