Democrats Summon Best Bounty Hunters In The Galaxy To Hunt Down Trump” –BBee“There are meanwhile reports that it was a US-provided 2,000 pound bomb which killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah”
But thankfully, there was nobody else within 10 city blocks of this bomb, and as we reporters say, Nasrallah and only Nasrallah was injured. There was a loud noise, and he ducked.
When you just desert-area, nuclear-size bunker busters on apartment blocks, this is what you call ““IDF troops have begun limited, localized and targeted raids against Hezbollah terror targets” where us reporters report but one, quick, clean death, via hanging, after an extended and just jury trial, overseen by an objective world court.
Yup. That’s how we report it. Including NPR reporters at RT. That’s why RT is dangerous propaganda, and totally run by, and every word is written by Putin personally. He wrote that he condemned such acts just to tricky-tricky fool you and put you off. Really according to everyone here, he’s MORE totally pro-Israel than anyone else on the planet. The same! Hahaha! Saying I condemn it is the same as saying I approve! And sending no weapons and defending their enemies is the same as sending 2,000 dumb bombs like the U.S. does!
Conclusion: all things and their #Opposites are the same. All things and their #Opposites are true. That’s logic! Everyone is in the same Big Club because I’ve never met any of them and I say so.
“The Lands of Islam Get Ready To Channel Their Rage (Pepe Escobar)
I’ve been following this lately. Is Escobar even a journalist anymore? He’s blind to China’s issues, and a total thoughtless partisan to … well, everything BRIICS. I read the blurb alone and there is no information passed in it. Nothing was communicated. So sad as he’s so promising.
“• Biden And Harris Called Out Over Botched Hurricane Response (ZH)They didn’t botch it: Deplorable Hicks were all murdered, and it was way faster than fentanyl! So we heartily approve. “If they’re too dumb to rent a Uhaul…”
Kamala photo: I’m sorry, when the posted that yesterday, I just assumed it was a 4 year old stock photo. It communicates nothing. Okay… newsflash: THE VP HAS NO JOB DUTIES. She’s in charge of NOTHING. By law. So why is she doing something here, taking command? By what authority? The 25th? Nope. People often do this: because a VP corner office is the sub to the CEO/CFO, then they assume the VP of the U.S. has smaller subduties of the President. Nope. They have no duties at all.
Is Kamala running a Coup on Biden? Somebody want to tell me under what power, authority, and budget? I mean, there are ways, but fill me in? She’s not the sub-President, the Assistant TO the Regional Manager. There’s no such thing, or it would be DHS, FEMA, etc., with her nowhere in the chain, and no place for her to fit.
Not picking on you, Americans themselves don’t know this, apparently reporters either, how much less foreigners. I constantly have to repeat the simplest, most Wikipedia-obvious stuff.

“• MTG Warns ‘Most Dangerous Phase’ in 2024 Election Has Begun (HUSA)
Yes, they’ve begun election year. Where months out still, we just start voting anyway. Then after Nov 4, just keep voting and counting til we get it right.
“They’ve already been trying to put him in prison and literally assassinate him.” …“What comes next?”
“Iranian” anti-aircraft missiles. Which are already stamped by the FBI and bought out of Ukraine, personally ushered over the Mexican border by “Fast n Furious” because, “Iran” is like that.
“New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a lawsuit against the Trump Organization, accusing Trump of inflating property values to secure generous loans.”
Again, so the “Organization” is put in prison? This is the 3rd Junior accountant in Western Red Hook department. …Aaaaaaaaand Trump was directly in on this how? They did this with Sarbanes-Oxley, now-unseen-like-all-laws, or all laws on Wall St, CEOs, and accounting: The CEO/CFO “Sign off” on a hundred billion company accounting. …Of course having overseen every paperclip purchase everywhere in the company all year. Use your head.
We just pass laws to arrest whoever we like, and set free whoever we like. We’re the “Committee on Public Safety” and with each pass of the guillotine, you feel safer and safer, don’t you? DON’T YOU??????
“I’ve never heard a more eloquent extempore appeal to our shared human virtues than the speech delivered by UK national Russell Brand,” — Kunstler
Can we post a clip of this tomorrow, then?
“But there’s something else in the air little more than a month away from this fateful election day. It feels like just enough Americans have recovered their senses to act against war, censorship, wide open borders, and the despotic rule of a malevolent bureaucratic blob nobody voted for.” — Kunstler
I’m here and: Barely. There is a change here, but it’s impossible to characterize. It’s too slow, for one, but also all the same things that were happening are happening. Like the polarization, the lying, the rejection of all Truth, the pointless and malicious corruption, purposeless violence, the endless poverty, but something else. Like we’re not … spellbound by it. Because it’s boring, we’ve heard it before, and nothing happened, so it means nothing, we’re not quite as taken and captured, possessed by it, although it’s still there, we’re still enacting all the rights and wrongs, just without any real conviction. Going through the motions.
So even when you have a stellar performance like the Freedom meetup, on the heels of the Peace rally, no one notices, it doesn’t make us optimistic, enthused, picking a new direction, partially all being too busy “Not Dying” in this murderland the ruling Death Cult has created.
“• Letitia James May be Winning the Lawfare but Losing the War (Turley)
I disagree. Each time James is pushed back it demonstrates a high-water mark where the Law is working again. We don’t need to destroy them. That’s just more destroying. We need the system to function rationally again, which is much harder and very boring. Each time she loses, people see that it CAN work, and put effort into just this: ruling that it works, and the system is more powerful than this one prosecutor is, then moving on to the next case or bureaucracy and recapturing that so it works for us, and not a Death Cult too.
See that with Boeing and DEI, it’s really unsatisfying, but FIRST you stop their motion, (firing people, canceling dumb projects) THEN you reverse direction and go back in the other direction. And you can’t be sure at first. As that direction is almost certain to work, then it reinforces itself and does more, until someday, impossible as it is to imagine, we go too far in service of Liberty and America, and it starts over again.
So does Turley think we should destroy the office of the NYC D.A. and set up a “Committee of the Public for Safety”? Get rid of judges as has been discussed? What’s a win for him?
“meaning that Russia should “not have the capability to very quickly reproduce” the forces and equipment that it loses in Ukraine.”
Meaning Russia “Would not have any military force”, that is, be totally defeated. And what do you think happens to a Russia that is totally militarily defeated? We pat them on the back and donate a Marshall Plan to them? Yeah, no. And that’s why Yeah, No, they will nuke us, and I would too. So don’t do that, and everybody’s fine, just like all wars.
“The insanity of this scenario is that it ignores published Russian nuclear doctrine, which holds that Russia will respond with the full power of its strategic nuclear arsenal in the case of [any] nuclear attack against Russian soil.”
And rightfully so.
“Once again, US nuclear war planners believe that Russia is bluffing.”
They are insane, and also don’t care. They want what they want, and so fixate, ignore everything, all reality, like good Nazis always do. …And lose. Like I said, SOME know and don’t care, they WANT everyone dead. But most of the 90% minions in DoD and State, they just will go along with any dumb s—t excuse you put out there, no matter how idiotic and hollow. So? I breathed my air hole and made some dumb s—t up so they would do what I want them to. Duh. I can use my air-hole all day and not get tired, and often do. Since lies work better, I just tell lies 99% of the time, except by sheer coincidence that I couldn’t avoid it. Everyone nods their heads and avoids conflict, which is what bureaucracies do, this is the perfect vehicle of psychopaths, so we make more of them everywhere. I use the money from one bureaucracy to fund the next one, an NGO, that then advocates to make more Bureaucracies, like in the UN, because ALL of them are mindless psychopaths like I am.
In case you didn’t notice, corporations and bureaucracies don’t have a heart, don’t have a soul? You can get them to believe and do anything. And often do, clearly.
So yeah, maybe nobody actually BELIEVES that Russia is bluffing, but they SAID it, so we all pretend it’s true. …Then everybody dies. But we all had an excuse!! Telling the truth was ever-so-slightly hard. It would make me slightly less popular in this budget meeting on Thursday. YOU did this. I told you to have a small government, a government and therefore bureaucracy that is so small they have to pretty-please beg you for extra money for donuts on Friday. You said “No! Everything in the Universe is the Job of Government!” Including health care. When have they ever gone wrong?
Now they’re your masters and not your servants, how does it feel to be f—d by psychopaths? That feeling, of helplessness, of violation, of power, it’s called “Rape.” Then, because “Power” there’s a very good chance they will also kill you after.
““..unlike in the Classical World, Trump seems to have no aristocracy behind him, following in his train. Will this work? How will it turn out?”
I don’t think this is true, but it’s a vital point: Wars are fought between oligarchs; nobody ever asks or cares what the People think. When they don’t want something, it’s a Rebellion, and crushed. However, Trump cadre IS a group of aristocracy, particularly if they’ve allied with Wall Street, one of our most powerful. We can already establish there remains a deep group of Pentagon aristocracy in his White Hat group.
“here will be no participation. People will not participate; nor do they feel that they participate – because they don’t. The mood amongst the World Order back-room strategists is that selecting political candidates by voting has become ‘a bug’ and is no longer a feature.”
Just pointing this up: LePen won France…and therefore lost, Macron is in office. That’s what “Winning” means! Germany lost to AfD…and therefore said they won’t seat anyone, they just undo the results. And last night Austria did the same, and the same tired people come about and say, “Although they openly got a decisive victory, really, legally, we just shouldn’t/won’t seat them and are just going-to-make-up-some-stuff…” Over and over. Different ways for each election and country, but only because DGAF and just SAY whatever is convenient for that moment, uncaring of logic, reason, expedience, or any Legal realities. I want power. So I took it. And I’m not giving it up, ‘cause I want it. The End. Make me.
…Okay, man, you asked for it. You think because we don’t go up there in the next ten minutes it’s all going to work out and we all forgot, but you’re wrong and about to be surprised. This is your warning.
Naturally we’ve all been watching that true in the U.S. and everywhere else, Brazil, all nations identical, the same. How can that be? Because their enemies are all the same and one: the Globalist Death Cult. So all elections are in play, worldwide, even Bangladesh,until you put these guys away permanently. No one, anywhere, can rest a moment until they are destroyed, which also means, like Napoleon, the whole world has but one enemy: IT. THEM. Join up, stop squabbling, and annihilate them, so I can move on and do something useful in lie before I die of old age fighting this. …And 9/10 Zoomers agree, now a mere 20yo. Stop fooling around and HIT THEM.

“The End of the Skripals (Helmer)
Yup, that’s how courts work: you don’t have to show up if that is inconvenient or makes you slightly uncomfortable. That’s what I was always told. The fact no one can produce them, totally, totally means they’re alive, so stop asking questions. Man, they keep asking this all the time about my ex-wife, but I told the Judge all this makes me uncomfortable, so… la de dah!
“Pavel Durov, The Superfluous Man (Karganovic)
Superfluous Man sounds a lot like Ayn Rand hero types.
Here’s the bigger problem, if you didn’t catch it. (this may be Signal App): you are on a secret, private, encrypted app that goes on for years. Then poof! One say Alex Soros show up with money and the next day the app is owned by MI6. They then blackmail everyone for things they said 6 years in the past. Rinse, repeat.
So it’s not enough that it’s encrypted NOW – although that is impossibly hard to find in the first place – you have to ALSO secure the infinite unknowable future. All for a lick of convenience. Use your own PGP and email keys, etc, it’s possible. They can of course be attacked, but each different, unique thing then requires a specific man in NSA assigned to your case and it’s too expensive and too much trouble, even if it only takes an hour of work-time to crack you. But if you put 90 MILLION blackmail codes in ONE bank safe deposit box, YEAH, they’re going to plot a crime to rob it. The payoff is too high not to.
This isn’t secrecy or encryption analysis, it’s systems analysis.

Statue of the Naked God-Emperor: Clearly Trump is living rent-free in their head. THEY give HIM power. They actually wrote like a thousand articles about how THEY, collectively give him free media advertising. …Then immediately kept doing it, as of course they always do about everything. But don’t worry, THEY, which is Them, will blame THEM, which is Them, and tell Themselves, which is Them, to stop doing that. .
…As long as it’s somebody else’s problem, and all they have to do it complain about it. This is why they are the Feminine aspect (it does not please me to say that), and just complain waiting for a man to fix it for them. Why? ‘Cause I just SAID something. Then plumbing magic works, electric comes in the house, as I deserve it to, just for breathing. No work on MY part at all. I just sit and look pretty and nag and scold all the time.

“The Future is Female”. God I hope not, we’re barely in a Matriarchy since 1971 and it’s already destroyed almost all Society, including the direct happiness of almost all women, in a straight line down since 1971.

Scott Ritter on the ooooh scary phone again, like that helps, I guess he gets paid to tell us info we already know with a ominous filter over the top, so, like my uncles and aunties we can remain terrified of an as yet unrealised nuclear winter coming with eerily similar certainty as climate destruction and the end of all humanity. He like so many others continually ignore the whole of human history where we kill civilians and soldiers and not LONDON or PARIS or INSTANBUL, (ok maybe bagdad) but rich Oligarchs decide who dies and where and when and it is always always poor people with some very rare exceptions.Also Hurting didn’t mention Chapel Hill University for it’s wonderful work developing a military countermeasure deployed oh, I dunno a few years back on 5 or so BILLION people with untold effects on fertility and life expectancy – but hey we don’t go near that stuff with our trailblazing journalism, much better to focus on lazer tech and supersonics than what warfare has ALWAYS been about – mind control (eat the croissant!!! – and to this day we have an anti-Turkish breakfast without even thinking how we got mind-tricked into eating the Crescent moon). Articles like this are like the Elon fanboy shit – rubbish where we worship the tech as advanced when just messing with peoples minds and perceptions is always the big killer.

What does it mean? Ukraine “winning the war.”
Today we are even closer. Most scenarios being bandied about in the western mainstream media that involve a nuclear conflict between Russia and the United States have Russia initiating the exchange by using nuclear weapons against Ukraine in response to deteriorating military, economic, and/or political conditions brought on by the US and NATO successfully leveraging Ukraine as a proxy to achieve the strategic defeat of Russia. Understand, this is what both Ukraine and the Biden administration mean when they speak of Ukraine “winning the war.”

The United States has indications that Iran is preparing to imminently launch a ballistic missile attack against Israel, a senior White House official said on Tuesday, hours after Israeli forces launched a rare ground invasion of southern Lebanon targeting the Iranian-backed militia Hezbollah.
“We are actively supporting defensive preparations to defend Israel against this attack,” the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. “A direct military attack from Iran against Israel will carry severe consequences for Iran.”
U.S. troops: The United States is sending a few thousand additional forces to the Middle East to bolster the 40,000 already in the region and to help defend Israel, the Pentagon said on Monday. Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III said he had spoken with his Israeli counterpart, Yoav Gallant, on Monday, and agreed on the need to destroy Hezbollah “attack infrastructure” along the border, according to a Pentagon statement.Ronen Bergman, Gabby Sobelman, Euan Ward, Victoria Kim and Lauren Leatherby contributed reporting.

Hilariously, the Jews have a word that describes you perfectly. It’s “kvetch”.
As a verb it means to complain persistently and whiningly, and as a noun it means a person who complains a lot.

It certainly took balls (but not brains) to assert from the stage of the World Economic Forum (WEF) that free speech is cluttering up America’s march to totalitarianism...
..Hillary Clinton and hundreds of Democratic Party affiliated officials past and present fear that they will be subjected to legal process in crimes ranging all the way up to treason for their conduct the past decade, including the mass murder and injury of millions with their Covid policy, their deliberate abetting of millions crossing the border illegally, their use of several government agencies to abridge the First Amendment, their abuse of DOJ and FBI power in malicious prosecutions, their shell games funneling taxpayers’ money to hundreds of crony NGOs, and their use of Ukraine as a money laundry for the entire Beltway criminal cartel. Surely even more than that.
It was the last item on that list that prompted impeachment No. 1 of Mr. Trump, who came uncomfortably close to inquiring about it in that fateful 2019 phone call to President Zelensky.

“Modern Economy Rests On Single Road” In North Carolina Where Hurricane Collapsed Bridges

”China is a very interesting trading partner,” said Javier Milei, who just a year ago described the Chinese government as as “assassin.” They “do not make demands, the only thing they ask is that they not be bothered.”… Almost exactly a year after telling Tucker Carlson that he would never trade with China due to its government’s left-wing, authoritarian proclivities, Javier Milei has nothing but fond words for the US’ main strategic rival today…
..The Biden administration had thought Milei’s government was beyond Xi Jinping’s influence, but all of a sudden the Argentine president is seeking a rapprochement with the communist regime to renew the Chinese swap line that underpins Argentina’s central bank reserves as well as facilitate investments by Chinese companies in lithium and copper, two minerals that Washington considers globally strategic. “We have to be careful with how we handle this relationship,” U.S. Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns said of diplomatic ties between China and the US. “We’re systemic rivals.” https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2024/10/washington-enters-panic-mode-as-even-mileis-argentina-seeks-closer-economic-ties-with-beijing.html Time Is Running Out: US Port Strike Could Begin Tuesday

More than 45,000 International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) members from over three dozen facilities across 14 Gulf and East Coast ports went on strike early Tuesday, marking the largest labor action at US ports in nearly 50 years. The labor action, driven by disputes over automation and wages in a new multi-year labor contract, threatens to disrupt supply chains nationwide. If the strike persists for more than a week, retailers could face shortages of certain goods. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/it-begins-us-port-strikes-erupt-first-shutdown-50-years-sparks-fears-supply-chain-crisis Germany Should Pursue Charges for Nord Stream Blasts & Point Out US Role – Bundestag MP
The German federal government should immediately bring charges for the destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines and point out the violation of anti-terrorism treaties by the United States or other countries involved, Bundestag member Steffen Kotre told Sputnik.
In a conversation on the sidelines of Russian Energy Week, he suggested that Washington had probably been involved in the destruction of the gas pipelines. Kotre does not know to what extent Kiev was involved, but, from his point of view, it is difficult to believe that Ukraine could have carried out such an action without outside help. https://sputnikglobe.com/20240930/germany-should-bring-charges-for-nord-streams-point-out-us-role—bundestag-member-1120354136.htmlDead Body of Hezballah Leader Recovered from Rubble – INTACT https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/news-selections/world-news/dead-body-of-hezballah-leader-recovered-from-rubble-intact

‘Israel’ assassinated Sayyed Nasrallah with US-made bomb: US Senator
US Senator Mark Kelly affirms that the arms used in Friday’s massive Israeli aggression on Beirut’s Southern Suburb were supplied by and made in the United States. https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-israel–assassinated-sayyed-nasrallah-with-us-made-bomb–us Israel Planned to Kill Nasrallah in October 2023, US Asked to Cancel Attack
The Israeli air force took off to strike the location of Lebanese Shia movement Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah shortly after the October 7 attack by Palestinian movement Hamas, but the operation was called off at the request of the US, the Financial Times newspaper reported.
The Israeli attack did not take place in October 2023, since the White House asked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to recall the air force, the report said. https://sputnikglobe.com/20240929/israel-planned-to-kill-nasrallah-in-october-2023-us-asked-to-cancel-attack—reportsa-1120351927.html [Let’s see Kamala Harris top this.] Jared Kushner Praises Assassination of Nasrallah, Says U.S. Must Support Ground Invasion of Lebanon
Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of former President Donald Trump who led Middle East policy under his administration, praised the Jewish state on Saturday for assassinating Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and insisted the US must support the “peace-seeking nation of Israel” launching a ground invasion of Lebanon to “finish the job.”
Kushner also praised Israel’s decision to rig pagers and radios with explosives as “brilliant” and argued that Israel’s invasion will turn Beirut into “a cosmopolitan city.” https://www.informationliberation.com/?id=64667 US occupation base hit by ‘intense’ rocket, drone strikes in Syria
US forces at Washington’s occupation base in the Conoco oil field near eastern Syria’s Deir Ezzor governorate came under heavy attack during the early hours of 29 September.
“Intense rocket and drone bombardment targeted the headquarters of the US occupation’s armored forces stationed at the Conoco gas field base in Deir Ezzor,” Al Mayadeen’s correspondent cited field sources as saying.
“The intense shelling on Conoco resulted in direct hits on the headquarters of the armored division,” according to one of the sources.
Sputnik’s correspondent reported the attack left casualties among the occupation troops.
Local sources said the strikes were launched in response to a series of US airstrikes on Deir Ezzor’s Harabeesh neighborhood. https://thecradle.co/articles/us-occupation-base-hit-by-intense-rocket-drone-strikes-in-syria For Netanyahu, Eradicating the Palestinians Is Still “Job 1”
In the last 11 months, the IDF has gone from North to South obliterating 80 percent of Gaza’s housing stock and virtually all of its vital infrastructure. Many people assumed that these actions indicated that Israel wanted to make the area uninhabitable so the Palestinians would be forced to flee to Egypt. That theory has been reinforced by the numerous pronouncements of Israeli political and military leaders who have stated their genocidal intent with alarming frequency. The only logical conclusion one can draw from these statements is that is a clear majority of Israeli Jews support the expulsion of the native population.
That doesn’t mean that the implementation of the plan has gone smoothly. It hasn’t. And the reason it hasn’t is because Egypt fortified its northern border with thousands of troops and armored vehicles blocking any potential attempt by Israel to drive the Palestinians into the Sinai Desert. (Apparently, Israel did not anticipate this obvious obstacle.) With its lone exit-point blocked, Israel’s expulsion strategy collapsed leaving the IDF with little to do but force the Palestinians from one “safe zone” to the next and then back again. This charade has dragged on for more than four months now with the clear intention of hoodwinking the Israeli public into believing that the IDF is performing some vital national security function rather than overseeing the collective starvation of a deeply traumatized civilian population.
In the last week, the government has concocted a new strategy that is designed to draw attention away from their earlier failure. This is from CNN:
….the government “is considering a plan to force all Palestinian civilians out of northern Gaza, including Gaza City, in order to lay siege to Hamas and force the release of hostages.” https://www.globalresearch.ca/netanyahu-eradicating-palestinians-job-1/5868999 Saturday… 5 days of bombing: 783 killed in Israeli air strikes on Lebanon
A total of 783 people have been killed and approximately 2,312 injured in Israeli air strikes on Lebanon since Sept. 23, bringing the death toll since the beginning of the confrontations between Israel and Hezbollah last October to 1,622, with 5,549 people injured, according to official Lebanese sources, Anadolu Agency reports. https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20240928-5-days-of-bombing-783-killed-in-israeli-air-strikes-on-lebanon/Sunday… 123 killed in Lebanon air strikes in 24 hours — Health Ministry.

Below is an early description by the IDF as posted to Telegram and other government channels... Thus a ground war has begun in Lebanon a mere month before the US presidential election. Meanwhile neither President Biden nor VP Kamala Harris have had much to say. Quite the opposite: they might prefer to hide from the media. There are meanwhile reports that it was a US-provided 2,000 pound bomb which killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah last Friday. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/netanyahus-war-seven-fronts-massive-new-attacks-yemen-syria-central-beirut
Tuesday… US secretly approved Lebanon escalation – Politico
Washington gave Israel the green light to mount an offensive, in contrast to its public calls for a ceasefire, sources have claimed
Israel outlined its military strategy to Washington in broad terms in mid-September and received approval via senior US presidential advisers, Amos Hochstein and Brett McGurk, Politico reported on Monday, citing two Israeli and four American officials.
The decision faced opposition from within the Pentagon, State Department, and intelligence community, the sources claimed. There are reportedly concerns that the hostilities could escalate into a major war, which would directly draw in the US. https://www.rt.com/news/605021-us-approved-lebanon-campaign/ It looks pretty empty. Mass Walkout as ‘Global Pariah’ Netanyahu Addresses UN General Assembly
The public rebuke of the Israeli prime minister, said one observer, “demonstrates the international community’s rejection of genocide.” https://www.commondreams.org/news/netanyahu-united-nations-speech Pepe Escobar on Netanyahu at the UN: Nasrallah as martyr/legend: The lands of Islam get ready to channel their rage
A symbol was shattered. A legend is born. The Resistance, more than ever, won’t back down...
..An unredeemable serial war criminal and psychopathic genocidal, violating scores of UN resolutions, popped up at the UN General Assembly in New York and then ordered, from inside the building, yet another war crime: wiping out an entire block in southern Beirut with dozens of American bunker buster bombs, including the BLU-109 with a JDAM precision guiding system – leaving countless civilians still unaccounted for under the rubble, including Sayyed Nasrallah.
As the war criminal addressed the UN General Assembly, over half of the delegates staged a mass walkout: the hall was de facto nearly empty of real Global South diplomats. The remaining audience was presented with yet another trademark display of IQ-impaired “maps” featuring the “blessed” – Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Egypt, Jordan, UAE – and the “cursed” – Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen...
..Israel killed Sayyed Nasrallah for two main reasons. 1) Because he explicitly reaffirmed Hezbollah would never abandon Gaza for any “deal” allowing the genocide and total ethnic cleansing to go on. 2) Because the Talmudic psychopathological fanatics want to invade and re-occupy Lebanon...
..Hezbollah is independent of personalities. The structure is a maze, a rhizome – and other nodes, duly trained, as well as a new leadership, will spring up, as with the Vietcong during the “American war”…
..Back in 1982, Israel’s war on Lebanon was so brutal that even Ronald Reagan – who once threatened to pave Vietnam and paint it over with parking stripes – was stunned. He told Prime Minister Menachem Begin, who came to prominence as an Irgun terrorist, “Menachem, this is a holocaust.”
And yet a lowly grifter called Joe Biden, then a Senator bought and paid for by the Zionist lobby, called Begin on the phone to reassure him that “if all the civilians get killed”, that’s no big deal...
..Now nothing prevents the Axis of Resistance from stepping up to the next level. There’s simply no diplomacy, compromise, ceasefire, “two-state solution” or any other procrastination tactics in the horizon. Just a do-or-die existential fight against a relentless killing machine exhibiting, to paraphrase (and invert) Yeats, “a gaze blank and pitiless as the sun”…
..An auspicious scenario now becomes quite plausible: BRICS assuming the role of chief diplomatic channel for the lands of Islam. The next logical stage would be to get the UN out of Israeli/American territory and establish a HQ in a nation that really respects international humanitarian law. https://strategic-culture.su/news/2024/09/30/nasrallah-martyr-legend-lands-islam-get-ready-channel-their-rage/ Saudi FM slams Israel’s ‘barbaric practices’ against ‘defenseless’ Palestinian civilians

He lauded the recent International Court of Justice advisory opinion that Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem is illegal under international and humanitarian law.

..The Pentagon on Monday confirmed that it is sending a “few thousand additional troops” to the Middle East to be on standby if needed to defend Israel from a broader attack. This is widely being seen as preparation for war against Iran, if needed.
This is to include the new deployments of squadrons of F-15, F-16, F-22, and A-10 fighter jets along with assisting personnel. It was only the day prior that President Biden was asked if he would be sending more troops to the Middle East.

Never before have there been massive excess deaths following vaccination.
Never before have there been children, young adults, athletes in their prime, entertainers, dropping dead “cause unknown” following vaccination.
Of course, the cause is known. The leading doctors and medical scientists of our time–which excludes health agency bureaucrats, such as Fauci, who serve as marketing agents for Big Pharma and corrupt, politicized state medical boards and HMOs–have explained why and how the mRNA “vaccines,” which are not vaccines, kill, destroy the immune system, and cause health injuries. What is not known is why some die immediately after receiving the deadly substance, others a month later, and others remain, so far, alive. https://www.globalresearch.ca/covid-vaccine-intentional-effort-world-genocide/5804026Sudden Infant Deaths Surged after Covid ‘Vaccine’ Rollout, Study Confirms https://slaynews.com/news/sudden-infant-deaths-surged-covid-vaccine-rollout/

for most, their ignorance is exceeded only by their arrogancewe are dealing with humans beings
whose wickedness is exceeded only by their intelliigence.
You are not in their league morally or intellectually.are you a middle class citizen of the US or perhaps a member of the lower upper class? Your life has all the value of a cheap latex condom. Now that you have been used you will be unceremoniously discarded. All you have managed to obtain is a participation trophy. Nothing personal, it’s just eugenics and you are a useless eater.
“The ordinary person senses the greatness of the odds against him even without thought or analysis, and he adapts his attitudes unconsciously. A huge passivity has settled on industrial society. For people carried about in mechanical vehicles, earning their living by waiting on machines, listening much of the waking day to canned music, watching packaged movie entertainment and capsulated news, for such people it would require an exceptional degree of awareness and an especial heroism of effort to be anything but supine consumers of processed goods.”
