The US subcontracts out a genocide to Israel and the rest of the world’s leadership says and does nothing because they are either afraid of the US, they don’t want “rock the boat” diplomatically, or they are quietly supportive of it.

US troops murder Korean fishermen in cold blood and the rest of the world’s leadership says and does nothing because they are either afraid of the US, they don’t want “rock the boat” diplomatically, or they are quietly supportive of it.

The US blows up a boat they say is a drug boat and don’t provide any evidence (and even if they did, this is ok because…) and the rest of the world’s leadership says and does nothing because they are either afraid of the US, they don’t want “rock the boat” diplomatically, or they are quietly supportive of it.

We are staring down a potential regime change attempt or even all out war on the objectively ridiculous premise that Maduro is a “narco-terrorist kingpin”, and the rest of the world’s leadership says and does nothing because they are either afraid of the US, they don’t want “rock the boat” diplomatically, or they are quietly supportive of it.

The US is going to bar a Palestinian delegation from attending the UN. When this happened before with Arafat, the general assembly voted to hold the session in Switzerland instead. Now all they are doing is making some mild statements… because no one wants to anger the US.

This is the rules based international order.

I'll be taking a break from the news mega for a while, I have been having some stress related heart problems recently. I will still be online on hexbear do net and on blorptube, probably commenting and chatting with other users. So if I don't show up here for a while, that's the reason.

You guys scared the shit out of me, with numbers like this I thought the US started invading Venezuela or something.

From today. He's parched. The Cubans used their Brandonification gun on him

Safe to say a total Russian victory is locked in at this point, but I've started to notice the percolations of something potentially disastrous forming within the western "left" space

The left ate absolute and total shit on the subject of Ukraine, compete delusion and surrender to the establishment at every point of contact with the issue, I'm sure everyone knows what I'm talking about; outside of this space even pointing out basic facts about the conflict or mentioning the mere existence of Donbass, Ukrainian military buildup prior to 2022 and the open Nazi state in Kiev is liable to get you called a Putin shill by even people who normally disdain bluemaga/shitlib sentiments on any other subject

There is no public leftist figure who has a good take on it beyond "Russia bad", streamer, podcaster, politician, none

As a consequence, Russian victory is likely to be perceived as an earth-shaking catastrophe by a majority of the western left and much ink will be spilled looking for scapegoats and blameholders

Basically what I'm saying is alot of your "leftie" friends are about to get real annoying trying to eulogize the memory of 25% of Ukraine that speaks Russian and this coming psychic wound may develop into a new Left-to-neocon pipeline

The overwhelming response from Western commentariat in regards to the Chinese parade is that it must be AI.

The height of delusion is upon us. Forever more all achievements of non western countries will be utter denial.

ryan routh, the NAFO guy who tried to kill trump at his golf course last year, is representing himself in court (has anyone ever won a major case by representing themselves?). he challenged trump to a trial by combat, or golf: "I think a beatdown session would be more fun for everyone; give me shackles and cuffs and let the old fat man give it his worst" ... "a round of golf with the racist pig, he wins he can execute me, I win I get his job (sorry hillbilly vance)". he has also volunteered himself as part of a prisoner swap with China, Iran, North Korea or Hamas recently https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/would-be-assassin-ryan-wesley-routh-challenges-trump-to-golf-game-in-bizarre-court-filing-he-wins-he-can-execute-me/ar-AA1LKkhd

Russia just signed a deal to tap its Europe facing gas reserves towards China

Russia has finally signed a binding agreement with China on Power of Siberia-2; a 50 bcm pipeline through Mongolia from the Yamal fields.

Unlike the current line, which taps Asia-facing reserves, this one diverts gas once meant for Western Europe straight into the Chinese embrace. Gazprom has courted Beijing for years to seal it, and now the pivot appears to be set in steel.

Not sure people grasp how huge this is. With Power of Siberia-2 signed, the map shifts for good. Russia’s Arctic gas, the lifeblood of Western Europe’s factories for half a century, will now flow east to China through Mongolia. This is the loss of fuel that helped deliver consistent economic growth and underpinned Germany’s erstwhile status as the world’s leading exporter.

For years Beijing was reluctant; wary of being too dependent on Russian gas. Something has shifted (perhaps renewed EU hostility, maybe Trump’s threats). Either way, Western Europe won’t see cheap reliable gas again. China gets it now. The game is over. And it will only be as time passes that consequences will be fully understood.

Do Nothing

Get cheap gas

Last night, a friend of mine texted me about China's big military parade. Out of nowhere, at almost 1am.

She's a person who I would never have guessed would be even remotely interested in a chinese military parade of all things. She's of course politically active in her own way, leftist and feminist. But that took me by surprise, she asked me if I watched it to which I replied "Yes, we even had a watch party with a few friends" (true story). She even told me she set an alarm so that she wouldn't miss it... she had a positive outlook on the whole show, saying she was "very impressed by the drone helicopters". Later on, my group of close friends also started to talk about the parade and how "we know so little about China". It really made waves...

People are watching China now, people are getting interested in chinese affairs and developments. The US empire is crumbling.

Stay winning, Xi.

🇺🇸❌🇻🇪 United States President Donald J. Trump states that fighter jets with the Bolivarian Military Aviation of Venezuela will be “shot down” if they “put us in a dangerous position.”

venezuela just did a second flyover.

This has got to be the Platonic ideal of a military parade. Absolutely fucking bonkers how well put together the whole thing is. It gives "we're celebrating the glory of our nation" while also shouting "do NOT fuck with us", which is exactly what a grand parade should communicate.

And to think that Coinbase and UFC didn't even have to sponsor them! Truly outstanding.

I like how China call it the World Antifascist War, it's less diluted than WW2 and it prevents anyone from every taking away the antifascist-ness of it. Harder to revise it.

NYT's short-form news thing about the parade says "Some weapons seem tailor-made to counter American forces."

I'm getting a sinking feeling that the bipartisan mobilization of resources towards anti-immigrant mechanisms, specially in the past few years, is the result of the higher-ups laying the groundwork to deal with the aftermath of an invasion of Venezuela, or of military operations against Latin America in general.

I have to wonder just how true this is.

How many right wing people is Israel funding? How many left wing people has Israel lobbying or attack groups taken down? How much has Israel pushed the right further right all over the world by pushing zionists over anything else?

He might actually be right about just how much the right in the world revolves around him.

Imagine being born in america, joining the crayon eating brigades, becoming disabled in the process of conducting a genocide and living out your days homeless, on the street as society ignores you, at best.

Or, being born in China and joining the disciplined and principled PLA, with full devotion to the glorious Chairman of the CPC Xi Jinping.

I hate capitalism more than I can ever express in words.

This is a minor story in the grand scheme of things, but it illustrates the loss of industrial capacity of the west, and the contradiction between that material reality and how politicians/the public perceive local industrial capacity.

The west coast of Canada has a bunch of ferries run by the government, and they periodically need replacing. The province hasn't built ferries in Canada for decades, and every time contracts are awarded overseas, its a big scandal because people think they ought to be building boats at the Canadian sparks and racism factory. In this article, the ceo of the ferry organization lays out some hard truths about how there is no option to build these boats in Canada.

China Flaunts Military Might With Lavish Parade—and Sends Warning to Washington - WSJ

As the event unfolded, President Trump sent a barbed message of congratulations on Truth Social. Trump wished Xi and the Chinese people “a great and lasting day of celebration” before adding, “Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America.”

Trump was supposed to speak for the first time publicly in a week at 2:00. Then it was delayed to 2:30. Then 2:45. Now it’s set for 3:00.

Russia, China back Iran against ‘baseless and politically destructive’ European sanctions Hexbear Post

A joint letter by the Iranian, Russian, and Chinese foreign ministers issued on 1 September rejects European snapback sanctions as “legally baseless and politically destructive,” according to remarks delivered at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Tianjin.

"By declaring the E3’s move null and void, we have placed on record that no party can erase the sequence of events: it was the United States that first violated the JCPOA and Resolution 2231, and it was Europe that subsequently chose to align with unlawful sanctions instead of honoring its own commitments,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said via social media.

Shadow armies: UAE’s covert wars in Sudan, Yemen, and Gaza Hexbear Post

In 2009, Blackwater rebranded as Xe Services LLC after a string of war crimes in Iraq, notably the Nisour Square massacre in Baghdad two years earlier. The cosmetic change masked a continuity of purpose, which is circumventing international law and orchestrating illicit operations from the shadows.

Founder Erik Prince officially stepped down but relocated to the UAE in 2010, where he launched Reflex Responses (also known as R2) and retained a 51 percent stake, ushering in a new era of industrial-scale mercenary recruitment.

By 2011, the outlines of a covert UAE mercenary army had emerged, tasked with exerting influence across West Asia and Africa. This was no accident as Blackwater played a central role, with then-Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed (MbZ) serving as one of its chief patrons.

IAGS Resolution on the Situation in Gaza

(International Association of Genocide Scholars . FINAL Assesment.

Recognising that, since the horrific Hamas-led attack of 7 October 2023, which itself constitutes international crimes, the government of Israel has engaged in systematic and widespread crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide, including indiscriminate and deliberate attacks against the civilians and civilian infrastructure (hospitals, homes, commercial buildings, etc.) of Gaza, which, according to official UN estimates, at the date of this resolution, has killed more than 59,000 adults and children in Gaza;

Recognising that these crimes are estimated to have left many thousands of people buried under the rubble or otherwise inaccessible, and most probably dead; Recognising that this bombing and other violence is estimated to have injured more than 143,000 people, with many maimed;

Recognising that the actions of the Israeli government against Palestinians have included torture, arbitrary detention, and sexual and reproductive violence; deliberate attacks on medical professionals, humanitarian aid workers and journalists; and the deliberate deprivation of food, water, medicine, and electricity essential to the survival of the population;

Recognising that Israel has forcibly displaced nearly all of the 2.3 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip multiple times, and demolished more than 90 percent of the housing infrastructure in the territory; Recognising that the consequences of these crimes have included destroying entire families and multiple generations of Palestinians;

Recognising that Israel has destroyed schools, universities, libraries, museums, and archives, all of them essential to the continued existence of Palestinian collective well-being and identity;

Recognising that Israel has killed or injured more than 50,000 children and that this destruction of a substantial part of a group constitutes genocide, as emphasized in a joint declaration of intervention in the International Court of Justice case of The Gambia v Myanmar by six countries—Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom— which states “that children form a substantial part of the groups protected by the Genocide Convention, and that the targeting of children provides an indication of the intention to destroy a group as such, at least in part. Children are essential to the survival of any group as such, since the physical destruction of the group is assured where it is unable to regenerate itself.”;

Recognising that Israeli governmental leaders, war cabinet ministers, and senior army officers have made explicit statements of “intent to destroy”, characterizing Palestinians in Gaza as a whole as enemies and “human animals” and stating the intention of inflicting “maximum damage” on Gaza, “flattening Gaza,” and turning Gaza into “hell”;

Recognising that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has endorsed the current US President's plan to forcibly expel all Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, with no right of return, in what Navi Pillay, head of the UN Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, has said amounts to ethnic cleansing;

Recognising that the deliberate destruction of agricultural fields, food warehouses, and bakeries and other violence that prevents food production, in conjunction with denial and restriction of humanitarian aid, indicate the intentional infliction of unlivable conditions resulting in starvation of Palestinians in Gaza;

Acknowledging that, on 21 November 2024, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant of Israel, in the court's ongoing investigation opened on 3 March 2021, of crimes committed on Palestinian territory since 13 June 2014, charging them with crimes identified in the Rome Statute, in the Gaza Strip from at least 8 October 2023, including the starvation of civilians, intentionally directing attacks against a civilian population, murder, and persecution;

Whereas Israel's actions in response to the October 7 attack and subsequent holding of hostages have not only been directed against the Hamas group responsible for these, but have also targeted the entire Gazan population;

Acknowledging that the International Court of Justice found in three provisional measures order in the case of South Africa v. Israel — January, March, and May 2024 — that it is plausible that Israel is committing genocide in its attack in Gaza and ordered Israel to take all measures within its power to prevent and punish the direct and public incitement of genocide and to ensure the provision of humanitarian assistance to civilians in Gaza;

Acknowledging that leading global international law organizations and UN bodies, including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Forensic Architecture, DAWN, B’Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights, and the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, have conducted extensive investigations and issued reports concluding that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza;

Acknowledging that a number of Israeli, Palestinian, Jewish, and other scholarly experts working in Holocaust and Genocide Studies and in International Law have concluded that Israeli governmental and military actions constitute genocide;

Acknowledging that international civil society has a responsibility to prevent genocide by encouraging and assisting states to fulfil their obligations under the Genocide Convention to prevent, suppress, and punish genocide;

Acknowledging that putative security measures against members of a group are often pretext for mass killing and genocide as it has become in this case;

Therefore, the International Association of Genocide Scholars:

Declares that Israel’s policies and actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide in Article II of the United Nations Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948);

Declares that Israel’s policies and actions in Gaza constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity as defined in international humanitarian law and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court;

Calls upon the government of Israel to immediately cease all acts that constitute genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity against Palestinians in Gaza, including deliberate attacks against and killing of civilians including children; starvation; deprivation of humanitarian aid, water, fuel, and other items essential to the survival of the population; sexual and reproductive violence; and forced displacement of the population;

Calls upon the government of Israel to comply with the Provisional Measures orders of the International Court of Justice;

Calls upon the state parties of the International Criminal Court to comply with their obligations, cooperate with the Court, and surrender any individual subject to an arrest warrant;

Calls upon all states to actively pursue policies to ensure respect for their obligations under international law, including under the Genocide Convention, the Arms Trade Treaty and international humanitarian law, with regards to Israel and Palestine; and

Calls upon the government of Israel and all other United Nations members to support a process of repair and transitional justice that will afford democracy, freedom, dignity, and security for all people of Gaza.

Current as of 28 July 2025 Resolution passed 31 August 2025
