The other Iranian strike rumor was true. And Pakistan has replied with strikes of its own in Iran.
While I don’t think this is necessarily a new front in WWIII, it is worth watching. I get the feeling we’re not being told something.

≈ Comments Off on The Pain of Displacement
Someone is tracking the Occupier’s genocide, see HERE.
And here’s an update, a tale to make Lindsey “Level the Place” Graham giddy and normal people sad and angry.
Aya Deeb sits in a corner of a room in a school run by the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA). She speaks softly while her baby, Yara, sleeps beside her. The area around her is neat and tidy, and Yara is well looked after, covered tenderly with a pink blanket in the repurposed carseat she is sleeping in.
Adjusting her blue patterned isdal robe, Aya tells Al Jazeera how she feared losing Yara before she was born on Christmas Day.
For weeks leading up to the birth, Aya – who had long been displaced from her home in Bir an-Naaja in the northern Gaza Strip – had been moving from one precarious shelter to another, trying to outrun Israeli bombs.
“In the early days of the conflict, we had moved to my husband’s uncle’s house in Zawayda for safety. But then they targeted the house next door, and my husband died in that attack,” she says.
After that, the pregnant woman took her toddler son, Mohamed. back up north to stay with her family and kept moving from one spot to another until she and her parents ended up in the school with thousands of other displaced people.
“I was so depressed during those last months of my pregnancy. There’s so many things a pregnant woman needs in her last trimester, but there wasn’t enough food or clean water even,” she says, her face exhausted as she held back emotion.
“But the worst was my grief over my husband and not having him there with me during the birth.”
May these babies live, and live to witness justice.

The whole world, idiot ‘Murican voters aside, knows that the US, its government, and its “democracy” are dead and gone. Vladimir Putin now echoes Russian history books about the fraud of the stolen 2020 US election.
Speaking at a meeting with municipal educators in Moscow, the Russian president brought up the 2020 American presidential election as an example of what democracy should not look like.
“It’s probably possible to falsify anything. Just like the previous elections in the US were falsified through voting by mail. Well, it’s clear what voting by mail is. They bought ballots for $10, wrote them in, and without any supervision from observers, tossed them into mailboxes. And there you go,” Putin said.
His observation came in response to a question about the voting in Kherson and Zaporozhye regions and the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, four formerly Ukrainian territories that joined Russia in 2022. No one forced people there to show up at the polls, or barred them from doing so – they simply voted with their feet, Putin said.
“What is this, if not democracy? Democracy is when people express their will,” the Russian president said.
Now, ‘Muricans, please do get on with your exciting and sure to be honest 2024 election! *wink, wink*

Those four words were how Gonzalo Lira signed off from his geopolitical correspondent videos. He made the final one last summer while on the run towards Hungary and the hope of political asylum. He didn’t make it, as many of you know. In that video, in which he predicted that literal death awaited him if his plans failed, his last message to the public was, “Please don’t be indifferent to my fate.” This is my effort, part of my continuing effort, to not be indifferent to Gonzalo’s fate.
Last week we learned he had died of preventable pneumonia while being tortured awaiting trial in a Ukrainian prison for utter bullshit charges of supporting Russia’s actions against the corrupt Zelensky administration and the satanic Werewestern powers behind him. Gonzalo was a US citizen and what passes for the government in Washington did nothing to help him. Had he been a lesbian basketball druggie, then as sure as Jews dig illegal tunnels under their Synagogues, the US would have secured his release.
As-is, we can add Gonzalo’s name to the long tally of casualties in the GAE’s war on journalists and the truth, part of its greater war on life and civilization. Gonzalo ran a partial list on his social media accounts. I’ll add a few more. Julian Assange, who did nothing wrong and everything right, has had a decade of his life ruined and a fate similar to Gonzalo’s hangs over his head. Shireen Abu Akleh, another US citizen, was murdered and her funeral procession was attacked and the US did nothing. The US did nothing as Paris and DGSI rounded up journalists accused of exposing the truth about the GAE’s murderous attacks on Yemen five years ago (not the ones last week). The US did nothing and said nothing about the extremely suspicious car bomb that killed Daphne Caruana Galizia in Malta in 2017. It did nothing (except maybe gloat) over the car bomb murder of Daria Dugina in Moscow in 2022. It does nothing, other than provide targeting information and bombs, as the Zionist occupiers of Palestine, as part of their greater genocide, exact the worst mass killing of journalists in recorded history. One may recall that many Americans were arrested, tortured, and railroaded for walking into their own Capitol building a few years ago out of dire concerns a coup was in progress.
None of this is new territory for the GAE. Bane of the old republic, Abraham Lincoln, used to march soldiers into newspaper offices to silence truth or opposition. He issued arrest warrants for Supreme Court Justices. And he deported Congressmen. All that was okay because something, something about slavery—just ask the witch Nimarata.
Alex Christoforou, Larry Johnson, and others who knew Gonzalo have delivered admirable tributes to him. One of the first eulogies I saw came from Michael Lebron, aka “Lionel,” which you can watch here. Like me, Lionel did not know Gonzalo. I’ve been using his first name because, as Lionel alluded, he came across like a friend. And Gonzalo’s simple messages resonated with both of us as they did with most people. While lamenting Gonzalo’s death and the general collapse of critical thinking in the US, Lionel reminded me of another victim in the GAE’s long war, Jose Padilla. Lionel noted that back around 2002 when the empire dragooned Padilla without charges or due process, people sat by and did nothing. While his assessment is generally true, it isn’t 100% accurate.
A point of personal pride for me is that I spoke out against Padilla’s treatment and the greater threat to all Americans during the summer of 2002. I did this in Washington with a gaggle of boot-lickers from the DOJ and/or State (I can’t recall exactly after all these years). As you may know, nothing came from my protest other than my loss of popularity among evil-doers (praise Jesus!). Still, I like to think I’ve tried to do my part to help some people know what’s going on.
There’s a lot going on in 2024. Most of the important happenings do not directly concern the insouciant American people because they absolutely refuse to participate or in any way try to help themselves. If they were moderately aware, they would know that one little group after another is kicking the GAE aside and marching deeper into a prosperous Twenty-first Century. The world is leaving dead America and its vassals behind.
Soon, Brandon or whatever controls Brandon will probably steal $300-700 billion in illegally frozen Russian sovereign funds. One or more of your retarded queer Sinators or TeeVee babbling heads may brag about this when it happens. They’re both evil and stupid. BRICS+ will convene in Kazan in October, and Russia will likely use the theft to drive the final nail in the coffin of SWIFT, the Petrodollar, and the fading GAE dominance of the world economy. No intelligent people will risk their funds being stolen by lunatic satanists when a perfectly viable civilized alternative system is offered.
I’d say watch what happens, but most Americans won’t regardless. They certainly won’t think about sending a representative to Kazan, even or especially those proud agrarians from Dixie. In fact, then as now as ever, words like Lira, Padilla, Kazan, Petrodollar, and BRICS will be lost on the masses. And it is all their loss.
Gonzalo Lira—viewing him as a brave hero or a crazy fool or just another name one can’t bother to look up—did his small part trying to spread a little thought in a largely braindead world. Requiescat in pace, frater. And thank you for all you did.
Know what’s going on.

Someone on SG recommended an interesting site. It’s full of charts that paint a disturbing picture of 1971. America really had peak years. They ended over half a century ago. There is no going back and there hasn’t been for some time now.
The good news, as Dr. Roberts observes, is that the collapse is the solution. We should and must embrace it and the honest rebuilding that can come along in the future.

Given the recent attacks on Iran, we knew retaliation was coming. Tehran didn’t disappoint.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it had used ballistic missiles against an ISIS base in Syria and a stronghold of the Israeli spy service Mossad in Iraq on Monday, in retaliation for the recent terrorist bombings in Iran.
Two explosions killed almost 100 people in Kerman on January 3, as pilgrims gathered to honor the late General Qassem Soleimani, killed by the US in 2021. Islamic State (IS, also known as ISIS) claimed responsibility. Last month, another suicide bombing in the town of Rask killed 11 Iranian police. It was blamed on the Pakistan-based group Jaish Al-Adl.
“In response to the recent crimes of the terrorist groups that unjustly martyred a group of our dear compatriots in Kerman and Rask, we have identified gathering places of commanders and elements of ISIS related to recent terrorist operations in the occupied territories of Syria and destroyed them by firing a number of ballistic missiles,” the IRGC said in a statement.
In a follow-on statement, the IRGC said it had also used missiles against “one of the main espionage headquarters of the Zionist regime (Mossad) in the Kurdistan region of Iraq.”
And now we await more big tough words from the gasbag Lindsey Graham.
UPDATE: This was probably Iran’s largest and strongest effort ever, more powerful than the already devastating ass-stomping of the gay GAE in 2020 which you’re not supposed to know about or understand. And if THIS report is to be believed, then Tehran is at a totally new operational level. I’m sure all those GOP queers, liars, heathens, invaders, and murderers are talking about all this in Iowa or New Hampshire or Oz or wherever.

≈ Comments Off on A Change From the Soldiers’ Letter
The French, if they ever looked for it, could have previously counted on help from both their military officers and the enlisted ranks. Now at least the latter may be in question. One French soldier has evidently had it with his people and those of Western Europe.
Европа находится в глубочайшем кризисе из-за некомпетентного руководства, но России освобождать ее, как в прошлом, нет никакой необходимости, заявил РИА Новости бывший военнослужащий армии Франции, посещающий Донбасс с гуманитарной миссией.
“Не надо, не стоит, потому что сами европейцы дураки, пусть они сами и разбираются со своими элитами. Не надо! Ни одного русского солдата не надо отправлять. <…> Не надо никого освобождать, нет! Эти страны умрут сами по себе, постепенно”, — сказал Николя.
ENG:
Europe is in the deepest crisis due to incompetent leadership, but Russia does not need to free it, as in the past, RIA Novosti said a former French army soldier visiting Donbass on a humanitarian mission.
“No, not worth it, because the Europeans themselves are fools, even if they themselves deal with their elites. Do not! Not a single Russian soldier should be sent. No need to free anyone, no! These countries will die on their own, gradually,” said Nicolas.
The man certainly has a point. Americans have largely missed their chance to do something to save themselves. Now, time is passing Europeans by. If they let it pass, then that’s on them.
PS: If you, in the US, know how to call, text, or email me, then for once why not do so to tell me about something you’ve read! Just a thought.

This humble little web-log began on a burning hot afternoon in the summer of 2012. There were several false starts. Then, on January 14, 2015, nine years ago today, things began rolling on a regular, semi-professional basis. If I ever achieved coherence, it was purely accidental.
Today, we stand somewhere around 6,000 posts over the past dozen years. It’s not going to be 6000 and out. But there will be a few changes, starting now. I have many things to concentrate on so I will likely reduce the daily postings, especially concerning current events (and double-especially those current events pertaining to the USA). At some point this year, I hope to bring you a major announcement, one that will most likely involve either a bit of a format change here, or the creation of совершенно новый блог! Stay tuned. Особенно те, кто может прочитать это предложение.

≈ Comments Off on Gonzalo Lira is Dead

If this report is true, and it probably is, he was murdered by Zelensky and Brandon.
Chilean-American blogger Gonzalo Lira has died in a Ukrainian prison, his family said on Friday.
Lira, 55 at the time of his death, lived in Kharkov and blogged as ‘CoachRedPill,’ but switched to YouTube commentary after the conflict with Russia escalated in February 2022. He was arrested by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) last May and accused of “discrediting” the Ukrainian leadership and the military.
“I cannot accept the way my son has died. He was tortured, extorted, incommunicado for 8 months and 11 days and the US Embassy did nothing to help my son. The responsibility of this tragedy is the dictator Zelensky with the concurrence of a senile American President, Joe Biden,” his father Gonzalo Lira Sr. wrote in a note published by The Grayzone.
Telling the truth, even in a light-hearted manner, is always a dangerous proposition. When one tells the truth about sociopathic satanists, it can be lethal. Rest in peace, Gonzalo.
