Social media support for accused killers Luigi Mangione, Elias Rodriguez an 'exceptionally bad sign': expert | Fox News

Social media users have been drawing comparisons between online support for accused killers Elias Rodriguez, Rodney Hinton Jr. and Luigi Mangione.

"That people who commit murder are receiving any meaningful amount of public support, seemingly because the victims are seen by the murder’s supporters as belonging to the political opposition, is an exceptionally bad sign for our society," Nicholas Creel, Georgia College and State University ethics professor, told Fox News Digital. "Democracy requires people to be committed to certain values, such as the peaceable resolution of our differences. Without that, we’re at risk for a far wider breakdown in the rule of law, the kind where mass atrocities can easily arise."

omg you guise, can you imagine if we lived in a world with mass atrocities?

The US-backed concentration camp "aid distribution" scheme in Gaza appears to have collapsed within hours, as crowds became "uncontrollable" and US mercenaries opened fire on the crowds before fleeing. The Palestinian people who the scheme had intended to trap and murder have torn down the camp and seized the aid that was being used as bait. Zionist helicopters have reportedly opened fire into the crowds of people. Very recent and developing situation.

Gaza’s youngest influencer aged 11 among children killed by Israeli [sic] strikes | The Guardian

Yaqeen Hammad offered tips for surviving in war zone and is one of dozens of minors who have died in recent attacks

apparently someone set some zionists in colorado on fire. thats really terrible it's awful that they experienced what israel has been doing to Palestinian children for the past several decades. really really sad. i'm actually upset, i actually feel really upset now.

I am at the point where I no longer know what to say in regards to the news coming out of Gaza. Anything I could say does no justice to the horrors of what is happening here. I feel numb and my lack of words reflects that. This is just as much of an American genocide as it is an Israeli one. I’m not exactly young, but this has crossed the point of being the most evil thing the US has done in my lifetime (saying this as someone who organized protests against the invasion of Iraq in 2003).

Today is genocide remembrance day in Namibia. The herero and nama people suffered immensely. It is unfortunate that even today people in gaza suffer atrocities of genocide.

Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance has called Israel’s actions in Gaza a “genocide” - the first German party to do so

The Good Germans??

The article doesn't come to this conclusion, but it's a clear sign that RFK/his staff are using AI to write reports.

The Guardian: RFK Jr’s ‘Maha’ report found to contain citations to nonexistent studies

The 73-page “Make America healthy again” report – which was commissioned by the Trump administration to examine the causes of chronic illness...includes references to seven studies that appear to be entirely invented, and others that the researchers say have been mischaracterized.

One paper was claimed to show that talking therapy was as effective as psychiatric medication, but the statistician Joanne McKenzie said this was impossible, as “we did not include psychotherapy” in the review.

The sleep researcher Mariana G Figueiro also said her study was mischaracterized, with the report incorrectly stating it involved children rather than college students, and citing the wrong journal entirely.

There isn't a likely cause for a report to contain these types of errors unless an LLM was used to write it.

Dozens killed, hundreds shot at those bastard “aid facilities”

Hamas was right, these are nothing more than traps to further the extermination of a starving people

Ok, trade war's back on, and there will apparently be much civil unrest in China.

This guy is such a classic end-of-empire leader.

"I've always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY! He is needlessly killing a lot of people, and I'm not just talking about soldiers. Missiles and drones are being shot into Cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever. I've always said that he wants ALL of Ukraine, not just a piece of it, and maybe that's proving to be right, but if he does, it will lead to the downfall of Russia! Likewise, President Zelenskyy is doing his Country no favors by talking the way he does. Everything out of his mouth causes problems, I don't like it, and it better stop. This is a War that would never have started if I were President. This is Zelenskyy's, Putin's, and Biden's War, not "Trump's," I am only helping to put out the big and ugly fires, that have been started through Gross Incompetence and Hatred."

brave hamas decided to cast their lot with certainty, hope trump fucking nukes tel-aviv in some complicated insurance scheme. linky to tweet, fuck bbc

Flags of ISIS being sold in Syrian bazaar now that the US certified HTS terrorist are ruling the country.

But hey, Assad is gone 🤡

Climate activist Greta Thunberg to join aid ship effort to break Gaza siege | Israel-Palestine conflict News

Also Liam Cunningham, who played Davis Seaworth in Game of Thrones and the priest who talks with Bobby Sands in Hunger is on the ship too. Legitimately a good idea for famous people to go on this ship. Yeah Israel is bloodthirsty and doesn’t care about global opinion but their position is more precarious by the day, they will need to think twice about doing anything to the ship IMO.

Hamas accepts US ceasefire proposal, calls for 'global rage' against Israeli genocide – the cradle

The UN has warned that 180,000 Palestinians have been displaced due to the latest Israeli operation in Gaza

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the U.S. is implementing a 'vigorous new visa policy' to prevent foreign nationals with anti-Israel views from traveling to the United States. He adds that they will hold 'international organizations and nations' accountable for criticism of Israel.

There is this trend on hexbear about continuous doomerism, and you need to break out of the cycle else you become defeatist. Some comments sometimes smell of in this regard. And you need to criticize objectively while maintain revolutionary optimism.

Multiple industry insiders are starting to complain that their inventory of rare-earth minerals and magnets is starting to run low. Watch this space!

Oh so a bunch of ukrainians using a truck and a few drones managed to sneak up and attack a large russian military base, causing almost irreparable damage almost for free? You should be taking notes...

I say, imagine being able to cripple a certain country's airforce in a revolutionary moment with just a few quadcopters and some courage... I'm just saying. Would be very useful in Minecraft...

Naomi Klein is a radlib but I’ve been reading her book The Shock Doctrine, and find that it’s quite prescient regarding current events even though it was written ~15 years ago. It’s not exactly in-depth but Klein is a journalist, it’s supposed to be high-level flyover.

The thesis in a nutshell is that there is a compulsion - driven both by ideology and material interests - to outsource and privatize all aspects of governance, despite the desires of the people impacted who usually strongly oppose these changes. Disasters - natural or man-made - are the perfect opportunities to exploit.

I had never realized the extent to which the US military had been outsourced and privatized, thanks primarily to Cheney and Rumsfield. In a theme consistent throughout the book, while these two and others stood to benefit tremendously from military privatization, there also seems to be a significant ideological component. These people I think truly believe the military is more effective and efficient when exposed to market pressures. And we are now seeing the fruits of this privatization, as the supply and inventory issues in the military have become well known with giving support to Ukraine.

Then you see the ongoing impacts of disasters like the tsunami in Sri Lanka and hurricanes in Central America. Capital used these disasters as opportunities to privatize and dispossess. It really does echo Marx’s thoughts on primitive accumulation in Capital, though that’s my connection not Klein’s. And now as we hear about all the current turmoil in these places, no one bothers to connect the dots to how the US, the IMF, World Bank, and even local capitalists eviscerated social services, sold off government assets, and dispossessed locals to current problems.

You can even take this to the present with GHF. Ostensibly a “private charity” that supplants UNRWA and others, but is only really a tool of enforcing imperialism.

Regarding the Russia-China lunar base, it’s just another way for Russia to continue to work on its cool projects through Chinese investment, given that Russia is running out of its money for its space program.

One example is the Zeus TEM, a nuclear propulsion space tug that will enable deep space exploration limited by current chemical rockets. A lot of the work associated with this project has already begun and it would be a waste to discontinue.

This has been in the talks for quite some time now.

From Vedomosti, April 2023:

Borisov: Russia to Use Nuclear Tugboat in Joint Project with China

Roscosmos CEO Yuri Borisov said that Russia will use the nuclear tug Zeus in a joint project with China.

"We are planning to implement it [the nuclear tug] in practice by 2030. This is one of the products that will help in the expansion of the Moon, we are planning to use it in a joint project with China," Borisov said at the educational marathon "Knowledge First" ( quoted by TASS).

In other words, it’s a win-win cooperation between Russia and China - Russia gets to extend the life of its cutting edge projects using Chinese money, while China also gets access to Russian technology in return.

The lunar base itself may or may not happen, but at least there is a common future goal that promotes and facilitates cooperation between the institutions of both countries.

Dr. Feroze Sidhwa testimony to UN Security Council about his time in Gaza. CW Graphic descriptions

Israel just carried out airstikes on Yemen, in Sana'a International Airport, destroying a Yemenia Airlines Airbus A320-200 half an hour after landing.

Yemenia has a fleet of four of these aircraft in active service (now three), two from 2011, and two that they've leased in 2023. The leased aircraft fly out of Sana'a, while the aircraft that they own themselves fly out of Aden. A previous Israeli airstrike this month heavily damaged the airport and it's terminal, and destroyed three aircraft, their sole Airbus A330-200, a Boeing 727, and an Ilyushin Il-76. It was initially thought these three aircraft were A-320s before the images were released. Ansarallah/the Houthis in Yemen reopened the airport by patching up the runway and temporarily constructing a makeshift terminal. Given the state of the temporarily reopened terminal and runway (the wreckage of the destroyed aircraft was still visible in the background), it was questionable just how the functional the airport was, though it was enough for the one or two flights a day to Jordan and Saudi Arabia.

I think the main lessons of the Ukraine proxy war are:

1. Never let neoliberals run a war

2. Never ever ever trust America or its vassal states

3. No more half measures, Walter.

I’m watching a video of the ICE raid in San Diego and there’s a man interviewed who “asked to be identified as John Brown”

It was around the same time had an event not too far away. And they don’t have many events in this (notably conservative) area. I’m not saying it’s related, but worth noting.
