Imagine a terrifying world where we are all ruled by monsters of every stripe. And not hot ones like werewolves, but instead decaying zombies and mummies who are both insensitive to, and actively benefit from the immense suffering they cause on a daily basis. The top echelon of society, filled with profit-seeking, bloodsucking vampires. And the worst of it is that they repeat on a daily basis that what they are doing is not only just, but there is no other possible way to do it.

Pretty spooky, right? What if I told you that this world... was our own?

Happy Halloween!


Friendly reminder: when commenting about a news event, especially something that just happened, please provide a source of some kind. While ideally this would be on nitter or archived, any source is preferable to none at all given.

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 daily-ish 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 (and has automated posting when the person running it goes to sleep).
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis.

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

Various sources that are covering the Ukraine conflict are also covering the one in Palestine, like Rybar.


The Country of the Week is Lebanon! Feel free to chime in with books, essays, longform articles, even stories and anecdotes or rants. More detail here.


Here is the map of the Ukraine conflict, courtesy of Wikipedia.

This week's first update is here.

Links and Stuff


The bulletins site is down.

Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists

Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict

Add to the above list if you can.


Resources For Understanding The War


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.

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.


Telegram Channels

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

Pro-Russian

https://t.me/aleksandr_skif ~ DPR's former Defense Minister and Colonel in the DPR's forces. Russian language.

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/s/levigodman ~ Does daily update posts.

https://t.me/patricklancasternewstoday ~ Patrick Lancaster's telegram channel.

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

https://t.me/rybar ~ One of, if not the, biggest Russian telegram channels focussing on the war out there. Actually quite balanced, maybe even pessimistic about Russia. Produces interesting and useful maps.

https://t.me/epoddubny ~ Russian language.

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

Almost every Western media outlet.

https://discord.gg/projectowl ~ Pro-Ukrainian OSINT Discord.

https://t.me/ice_inii ~ Alleged Ukrainian account with a rather cynical take on the entire thing.

πŸ‡ΎπŸ‡ͺ Member of the Supreme Political Council in Yemen, Mohammad Ali Al-Houthi to RT:
β€”
::: spoiler The entire Yemeni people are engaged in the confrontation against the usurping entity, not just Ansarallah. The operations of the Yemeni armed forces against the usurping entity will continue if it persists in killing the people of Gaza and besieging them.

We are directing all our weapons to confront this arrogant aggression that believes in no one, accepts no one, and cannot give anyone anything.

Our armed forces have a complete preparation specifically for Palestine and confronting the Jews, and the weapons we use can reach the usurping enemy entity, whether they are ballistic missiles or drones.

We are in complete and ongoing coordination within the framework of the Axis of Jihad and Resistance, and there is an ongoing room for coordination and setting targets.

We call on Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Jordan, and all Arab regimes to mobilize their armies as they are not less efficient or capable than us, and there is no excuse for them not to participate in the defense of the people of Palestine.

We call on Russian President Putin to play a contributing role, as the battle is one and the same, and he said that he is fighting in Ukraine against those who stand with the usurping entity in Gaza.

We cannot reveal all our cards, but all options are on the table and are subject to assessment by the operational side of the Ministry of Defense.

We have no concern about the arrival of American aircraft carriers in the Red Sea, as they are within the range of our missiles, and they do not offer more than what is already present with the countries of the aggression coalition against our country.

We salute the fighting brothers in Gaza and say to them continue, and we are with you, and the Arab peoples and everyone are with you.

America has spent its entire history, nearly 280 years, launching and waging continuous wars with the exception of 18 years. America is the one seeking to expand the war, not us, for it is the one that incites wars and continuously works on killing and exterminating peoples and uses the killing of civilians as a weapon for victory.

The Americans are the terrorists, whereas we have the right to defend our homelands, to free ourselves from the American grip, and to exercise full independence over all our territories.

We as Arabs, must constantly move as the Africans did this year, who rose up against the French and the colonizers.

Gaza has demolished what remained of American claims about preserving human rights. They cannot be guardians of international law as they are its violators.

We call on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to direct its weapons, planes, armies, and mercenaries to defend Palestine and the sons of Gaza. We say to the Saudi regime: If you head to those areas in occupied Palestine to fight the entity, you will not need to repeat the cycle in Yemen, and we are ready to hand over Sanaa to you to live with us there, as there will be no harm between us when the compass points in the right direction of enmity towards the occupying entity. Let King Salman bin Abdulaziz, his Crown Prince, and the Minister of Defense come forward to wage war in Palestine against the entity, for it would be an honor for them that removes the disgrace they incurred from their aggression against Yemen
