Updates and current status since the start of the last thread:
(largely civilian) Palestinian death toll has now passed 70,000. Excess deaths have been estimated by The Lancet to plausibly be upwards of 186,000.

Italian workers' unions launched a massive general strike in October over the shipping of weapons through Italian ports which are being used in Israel's genocide, and launched another strike in November.

In early January 2025, Israel agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza and a prisoner exchange. Israel unilaterally broke the ceasefire. In October 2025, another ceasefire and prisoner exchange was agreed upon in Gaza, and Israel has proceeded to kill over 300 Palestinians in Gaza since agreeing. Israel has also refused to allow the agreed-upon amount of aid into Gaza.

Israel attacked Iran utilizing a large number of assets embedded in Iran, killing multiple scientists and high ranking Iranian military officials, as well as targeting schools, hospitals, oil assets, and a TV station. Around one thousand Iranians were killed in Israel's strikes on civilian targets like residential buildings. Iran retaliated with a series of waves of missile and drone attacks which hit multiple Israeli military targets including IDF HQ, Mossad HQ, as well as an Israeli oil field. After an Iranian strike on Unit 8200, the number of online Zionist apologists conspicuously reduced for a while. The Israeli government, embarrassed by the damage to Tel Aviv, heavily censored footage and reporting of Iranian strikes on Israel, resulting in the Israeli police arresting journalists and citizens for filming sites of impact, while rich Israelis fled by boat due to the closure of Ben-Gurion airport. Iran began a crackdown on Israeli terror cells, finding and closing multiple Mossad-linked covert drone factories, as well as reportedly arresting groups of Afghan nationals involved in sabotage, and multiple individuals reportedly linked to German & Indian spy agencies.

The US launched airstrikes against multiple Iranian nuclear energy sites, followed by Iran retaliating with a strike on a US airbase in Qatar. A ceasefire between Israel and Iran has been in place since shortly after this, with expectations being that Israel intends to recouperate and try again with more direct US invoPost too long.

Gaza-based journalist Bisan Owda regains TikTok account after outcry
Award-winning Palestinian journalist regains account with 1.4 million followers after surprise removal from video-sharing platform.

Award-winning Palestinian journalist Bisan Owda says she has regained access to her TikTok account, one day after saying she was banned from the video-sharing platform.

Owda told Al Jazeera on Thursday that she thought that international media attention and pressure from nongovernmental organisations had helped get back her TikTok account, although now visitors and followers must type her full username to find her popular account on the site.

Owda also said that she had received a message from TikTok that many of her video posts are now “ineligible for recommendation”.

Al Jazeera was able to see Owda’s TikTok account on Friday, which has 1.4 million followers, although no new posts are visible from the Gaza-based journalist since September 2025.

Owda gained recognition internationally for posting daily videos from the war-torn Palestinian territory, where she greeted her audience in regular video diaries, saying, “It’s Bisan from Gaza – and I’m still alive” during Israel’s genocidal war on the enclave.

A contributor to Al Jazeera’s AJ+, Owda’s reporting earned her top journalism accolades, including Emmy, Peabody and Edward R Murrow awards.

Huckabee Honors Jabotinsky as Zionist Symbol at Jerusalem Memorial

Amb. Mike Huckabee pays tribute to the late Ze'ev Jabotinsky, founder of the Irgun terrorist group (who bombed the King David Hotel).

Huckabee says Israel was formed "3,800 years ago" and he supports Israel because the Bible supposedly says, "Those who bless Israel will be blessed, and those who curse Israel will be cursed"—and he doesn't want to be cursed.

"It does not in any way shame me, or cause me to be reticent, to say I'm a Zionist," he declares.

General Yahya Saree -
"The Islamic Republic of Iran is considered the greatest obstacle (of the Zionist entity) in the path of accomplishing its plan.

Therefore, any American attack and aggression in support of the Israeli enemy against Iran falls within the same objective aimed at enabling the Israeli enemy to control the entire region.

This is something that cannot be tolerated, because it means the confiscation of the freedom, independence, and dignity of our nation, its enslavement and humiliation, the distortion of its identity, the occupation of its homelands, the plundering of its wealth, and the establishment of an equation that permits the violation of blood, honor, land, and sanctities.

Therefore, this battle is the battle of the entire nation, and the salvation, dignity, and victory of the nation lie in taking action and waging jihad in the way of Allah Almighty, as He, the Exalted, said: “And fight in the way of Allah and know that Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing” [Quran 2:244], and He, the Exalted, said: “O you who have believed, if you support Allah, He will support you and plant firmly your feet” [Quran 47:7]. Allah the Almighty has spoken the truth.

Accordingly, in the event that the Americans become involved in an attack and aggression against Iran alongside the Israeli enemy, the Yemeni Armed Forces will target their ships and warships in the Red Sea.

The Armed Forces are closely monitoring and tracking all movements in the region, including hostile movements against our country, and by the grace of Allah, they will take all necessary legitimate measures to defend our dear country and its proud people.

The dear Yemen, with its great people, its faithful leadership, and its mujahideen army, will stand alongside any Arab or Islamic country that is subjected to Zionist aggression or decides to confront this aggression in self-defense, or in support and backing of the mujahideen in the Palestinian resistance.

We will not abandon our brothers in the Gaza Strip."

Since there have been new doc releases and recent new exposures of notorious child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and his activities with Israeli intelligence, Donald Trump, Ehud Barak, (former) Prince Andrew, Peter Thiel, and various ops, corporate states, and world governments, and with new information now coming very fast, I thought I'd create a new thread just to collect more of this new stuff in one place, as well as to potentially add previously released info which might be getting memory holed.

PSL National:
We support the call from Minnesota-based Black and Somali student organizations — on Friday, January 30, join the national day of action to say ICE OUT OF EVERYWHERE!

Last Friday, people from all walks of life came together in the Twin Cities and all across Minnesota had a day of “no work, no school, no shopping” and shut it down. It captured the imagination of the whole country. They’ve shown the way for all of us — to stop ICE’s reign of terror, we need to SHUT IT DOWN. What happened in Minnesota can happen across the entire country.

Now is the decisive moment. The Minnesota General Strike has given us a historic opening. If we all take a stand now, we can stop the killings and the kidnappings, and end Trump’s war on our most basic rights!

Make a plan. Organize your people. Stay tuned for actions this January 30 around the country.

Meta began blocking users from sharing links to ICE List, a database that compiles the names, photos, and roles of thousands of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol agents.

Users on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads reported that attempts to post the site’s URLs result in error messages stating the content “goes against our Community Standards”.

The site’s founder, Dominick Skinner, noted that links had been shared without issue for over six months, but the block was implemented overnight following the site’s increased viral attention after a data leak involving 4,500 DHS employees.

Meta spokesperson Andy Stone stated the links violate policies against sharing or soliciting Personally Identifiable Information (PII), specifically targeting data about "government IDs of law enforcement, military, or security personnel".

Syrian rebels enter Aleppo three days into surprise offensive
Insurgents had recaptured territory around Syria’s second city with civilians including children killed in fighting

Islamist insurgents have entered Syria’s second city of Aleppo in a shock assault, eight years after forces loyal to Damascus seized control of the city.

Fighters from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) began a major offensive earlier this week from their base in the Idlib countryside, a slim strip of land in Syria’s north-west. It took only three days for the fighting to reach Aleppo, with insurgents capturing territory around the city’s outskirts for the first time in four years as Syrian government forces pummelled rebel-held areas.

Turkey’s Anadolu state news agency reported on Friday afternoon that the insurgents had entered Aleppo, while unverified images and video circulating online showed armoured vehicles and armed uniformed militants on its streets. The Associated Press said residents reported hearing missiles striking its outskirts.

The fighting over the last three days had killed 27 civilians, including eight children, David Carden, the UN deputy regional humanitarian coordinator for the Syria crisis, told Reuters.

The rebels have rapidly recaptured dozens of towns and villages in the Aleppo countryside, seizing a military base, weaponry and tanks from Syrian government forces, while some Turkish-backed Syrian rebel groups based elsewhere in north-west Syria joined the fighting.

The UN said Syrian government forces based in Damascus carried out at least 125 airstrikes and shelled areas across Idlib and western Aleppo controlled by the rebels in response to the offensive, killing at least 12 civilians and wounding 46 others, and displacing 14,000 people.

Because the Kurds tied their entire situation to the American, trusted in him, and considered themselves safe from any harm, here he is selling them to al-Jolani and leaving them as easy prey that doesn't even possess claws. And this is a lesson for those who take heed, and for those who tie their fate to the American and believe they are protected.

And likewise, what is happening with the Europeans regarding Danish Greenland and the insistence on taking a land that is supposed to be under American protection and the protection of the NATO alliance.

They point out that the military campaign was approved by the Trump administration, which has embraced Al-Sharaa even as it demonizes what it calls "radical Islam."

Al-Sharaa meets Putin as Russia seeks to secure military bases in Syria
Kremlin has not indicated whether it will agree to al-Sharaa’s repeated requests for Bashar al-Assad’s extradition.

Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa is meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow as the latter seeks to shore up Russia’s presence in the country, including militarily, just over a year after al-Sharaa ousted Russia’s former ally, Bashar al-Assad.

Speaking at a news conference before their meeting on Wednesday, al-Sharaa thanked Putin for supporting unity in Syria and what he said was the “historic” role Russia had played in the “stability of the region”.



Putin and al-Sharaa spent more than a decade on opposing sides of Syria’s civil war, prompting concerns in Moscow about the future of Russia’s military presence there.

Before the talks, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said “the presence of our soldiers in Syria” would be discussed. They are stationed at the Khmeimim airbase and the Tartous naval base in Syria’s Mediterranean coastal region.

Earlier this week, Russia reportedly withdrew its forces from the Qamishli airport in Kurdish-held northeastern Syria, leaving it with only its two Mediterranean bases – now its only military outposts outside the former Soviet Union.

Russian forces have reportedly begun a rapid withdrawal from their military outpost at Qamishli airport in north-east Syria. The pullout occurred just as Ahmed al-Sharaa arrived in Moscow for a state visit on 28 January 2026, to discuss the future of Russia's remaining military presence.

Analysts suggest Putin is sacrificing isolated outposts like Qamishli to secure long-term rights to the more vital Hmeimim airbase and Tartus naval base on Syria's Mediterranean coast. Despite the "conciliatory tone" of recent talks, Russia's continued sheltering of Bashar al-Assad in Moscow remains a major sticking point, as Sharaa has repeatedly requested his extradition.

It's coming in days. Weeks tops. Since the end of the 12 day long Imposed War, the US & Israel have been recuperating, eagerly scheming another attack on Iran since the last one backfired. The EU has played along with this scheme, collaborating with the US and Israel to restore sanctions against Iran, a continued act of aggressive economic warfare.

U.S. Secretary of "Defense" Pete Hegseth has recently called an "unprecedented" number of high ranking U.S. military officials to meet in Virginia for an undisclosed purpose, and in the same week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump.

This is a thread for discussing this war as soon as it kicks off, and the lead-up to it.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi:
Several countries are presently attempting to avert the eruption of all-out war in our region. None of them are European.

Europe is instead busy fanning the flames. After pursuing 'snapback' at the behest of the U.S., it is now making another major strategic mistake by designating our National Military as a supposed "terrorist organization".

Putting aside the blatant hypocrisy of its selective outrage—taking zero action in response to Israel's Genocide in Gaza and yet rushing to "defend human rights" in Iran—Europe's PR stunt mainly seeks to cloak that it is an actor in severe decline.

Moreover, as the continent is certain to be massively impacted by an all-out war in our region—including the knock-on effects of surging energy prices—the EU's current posture is deeply damaging to its own interests.

Europeans deserve better than what their governments have to offer.

Russia ready to evacuate staff from Iran’s Bushehr plant, says Russian energy official
The head of Russia’s state nuclear corporation, Alexei Likhachev, has said Moscow is prepared to pull its staff out of Iran’s Bushehr nuclear power plant if need be.

“We are keeping our finger on the pulse and, in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and ‌the Ministry of Defence, we will be ready to carry out evacuation measures if necessary,” Likhachev was quoted as saying in Russian state media.

The last US ⁠attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities in June did not target Bushehr, where Putin has said hundreds of Russians are working.

Likhachev has warned that any attack on the site could cause a catastrophe comparable to the 1986 Chornobyl nuclear disaster in Ukraine.

🇨🇺 JUST IN | President Trump has signed a sweeping executive order declaring Cuba an "unusual and extraordinary threat" and authorizing broad new sanctions, including punishing foreign countries that sell oil to the island, even indirectly.

The move comes as the Financial Times reports Cuba has just 15–20 days of oil left, after US pressure helped halt Venezuelan shipments and Mexico’s Pemex suspended a delivery. The shortage has already fueled near-daily blackouts and fuel rationing. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said that her government provides oil to Cuba via contracts with Pemex and via humanitarian aid mechanisms, the latter she said would continue.

The order tightens a blockade strategy that leverages economic collapse and humanitarian crisis under the guise of national security.

From AJ:
One ‍person is dead after an ICE officer on a large-scale ⁠immigration operation ​in Minneapolis shot and killed a woman who allegedly “weaponized” ⁠her vehicle.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot the woman in her vehicle on Wednesday in a residential neighbourhood in Minneapolis, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.



Mayor Jacob Frey alleged the officer “recklessly” shot her, adding immigration agents are “causing chaos in our city”.

“They’re ripping families apart. They’re sowing chaos on our streets and in this case quite literally killing people,” Frey said at a news conference.

“They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defence. Having seen the video myself, I wanna tell everybody directly, that is bulls**t,” the mayor said.

The shooting marks a dramatic escalation of the latest in a series of immigration enforcement operations in major American cities under the Trump administration.

Before the current war with Iran resumes with full fury, I want to get something off my chest.

Over a year ago, I privately related this thought I had to an acquaintance. Since that time, it has become more than a thought to me. I now believe it is probably likely that the January 2024 Chabad tunnel incident was an attempted false flag which was discovered and thwarted before it could be completed. Until now, I have never said this publicly to anyone, even anonymously, and I have never looked into others ""theories"" about this incident because I am not interested in reading speculation. I have no idea whether or not anyone else has come to the same conclusion. I would not be surprised if they had done so, as it seems like an obvious suspicion to have, but I have never been interested in finding out.

In January of 2024, a number of Israeli citizens were caught digging a tunnel under the World Headquarters of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement in New York City, a large synagogue. When the tunnel was discovered, concrete trucks were called to fill it in, as the tunnel created a serious risk to the foundation of the structure. Fights broke out, the police were called, and arrests were made. The explanation given through the confusion, which I initially believed, was that this was an attempt to illegally expand the building - and these being Israelis, that is not an unbelievable explanation by any means. However, since then, I have come to the belief that the real motivation of this project, which must have taken a great deal of very secretive effort, was to destroy the building with people inside and blame it on Iran.

Israel having universal conscription, it is fairly safe to say that these young men were IDF in some capacity. The Israeli MIC has a long history of false flag attacks, including the Lavon Affair in Egypt and the attack on the American USS Liberty in 1967. Whether or not the Mossad bore any involvement in the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center, it is a matter of public record that Netanyahu believed that attack was beneficial to Israeli interests, and he eagerly encouraged US wars in western Asia even against Iraq which had nothing to do with 9/11. It is also known that the IDF fired on its own people on October 7, 2023, with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant later admitting that the Hannibal Directive was issued.

Btw several of the victims of the recent, very immediately opportunistically exploited, shooting in Bondi Beach, Australia were Chabad guys. And even though the shooters were apparently Salafists (more in line with Jolani, picsrel, than with Iran), there was an immediate propaganda effort to try to blame it on Iran and use it to attack the anti-genocide movement.

Indigenous protesters block Cargill facility in Brazil over President Lula’s decree
Hundreds of Indigenous people have been protesting for almost a week at a Cargill facility in Santarem in northern Brazil against a decree signed in August by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva allowing the federal government to consider private concessions for waterways, shifting responsibility for maintenance, dredging and vessel traffic management to operators. The Tapajos and Arapiuns Indigenous Council, which represents 14 Indigenous peoples and is leading the protest in Para state, said the government failed to consult affected communities, as required by legislation and international conventions. The group warns that dredging projects threaten the Tapajos River, Indigenous territories and the environmental balance of the Amazon rainforest.

Mexico’s president says cancellation of oil shipment to Cuba is ‘sovereign’ decision
Mexico has cancelled a shipment of oil to Cuba, the country’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, appeared to confirm on Tuesday, but she insisted the decision was “sovereign” and not a response to pressure from the US. Fuel shortages are causing increasingly severe blackouts in Cuba, and Mexico has been the island’s biggest oil supplier since the US blocked shipments from Venezuela last month.

About a week earlier, he had been tackled by a group of agents who broke his rib when he was protesting the detention of a community member.

The ACLU Wants to Shrink Workers’ Speech Protections
Back in 2024, I wrote about a curious case at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) in which the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) was pursuing exotic legal theories that would, if adopted by the NLRB or courts, curtail the rights of workers across the country. This included the theory that the then–general counsel of the NLRB, Jennifer Abruzzo, was illegally appointed and the theory that the NLRB must defer to private arbitration proceedings even in the absence of a collective-bargaining agreement. The former theory would have invalidated a large amount of precedent established by General Counsel Abruzzo, while the latter theory would have allowed employers to limit the rights of workers to pursue unfair labor practice charges at the NLRB. The ACLU was pursuing these theories as part of a scorched-earth effort to not provide back pay and reinstatement to one of its former employees, Katherine Oh. Oh, along with her coworkers, had criticized the way certain managers treated employees and the ACLU fired her in response to those criticisms. In firing her, the ACLU claimed that Oh, who is herself nonwhite, was being racist by criticizing her likewise nonwhite bosses even though her statements contained no racial content at all. Both a private arbitrator and an NLRB administrative law judge (ALJ) have since ruled in favor of Oh and against the ACLU. The arbitrator ruled that, in firing Oh, the ACLU had violated its own just-cause termination policy, while the ALJ ruled that, in firing Oh, the ACLU had violated Section 8(a)(1) of the National Labor Relations Act.

Maduro activates Bolivarian National Militia in response to US “threats”, vowing to defend the country’s sovereignty and independence.
President Nicolás Maduro announced on Monday, August 18, that he is activating “over 4.5 million militia members across the entire national territory” of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, in response to the US deployment of three Navy guided-missile destroyers and 4,000 military personnel to the Caribbean. The White House has described the deployment as an anti-drug trafficking operation in the region, while some analysts have called it a new threat against Venezuela – the country with the largest oil reserves in the world.

The US military deployment comes after Washington raised its bounty on the Venezuelan president from USD 25 million to USD 50 million, alleging links to drug cartels.

The “extravagant, bizarre, and outlandish threats” of the United States have been firmly rejected by the Venezuelan government.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Yván Gil described the accusations as a sign of desperation, revealing Washington’s “lack of credibility and the failure of its policies in the region”. He also pointed out that Venezuela has made major gains against drug trafficking after expelling the United States’ Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) – who many Venezuelans call “the planet’s chief drug traffickers” – from the country in 2005.

No US agency or international body has produced concrete evidence of drug production and distribution being concentrated in Venezuela or linked to Maduro. In fact, available global drug data makes almost no mention of the Caribbean nation or the alleged “Cartel of Suns” at all. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the epicenter of activity is in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, with the US identified as the main destination for distribution, recording the highest level of drug consumption in the world.

UNODC data reports that only 5% of Colombian drugs transit through Venezuela, and that the country is free of coca leaf cultivation, and marijuana and cocaine processing. The Trump administration, on the other hand, has maintained its position that the Venezuelan government is a “narco-terror cartel”.

Iraq has been demanding the US leave for years - Biden said "no," Trump said "no" until now. Speculation is that the US is fleeing its bases in the region because of an imminent US/"Israeli" attack on Iran.

Per Hindustan Times: The U.S. military has fully withdrawn from Iraq’s Ain Al-Asad airbase, handing control to Iraqi forces as Washington accelerates its regional drawdown. Baghdad frames the move as restored sovereignty, while critics see it as another sign of America scaling back its Middle East footprint amid rising security risks and shifting power balances.

REGIME CHANGE 2.0 | Target Tehran | Tariff overdose | Greenland summit | Starmer U-turns | Lira RIP
🔥 REGIME CHANGE 2.0 — the drums of war are beating again, and George Galloway is LIVE to expose it. As Washington sharpens its focus on Tehran, tariffs choke economies, Greenland re-enters imperial fantasy, and global instability accelerates, tonight’s edition of The Mother of All Talk Shows confronts the most dangerous phase yet of Western power politics.

The new year opens with familiar tactics in a new form: sanctions as weapons, propaganda as cover, and “regime change” repackaged for a fractured world. From Iran to Ukraine, Gaza to Venezuela, George examines whether 2026 is heading towards outright global war.

🇮🇷 LIVE FROM TEHRAN — Prof. Seyed Mohammad Marandi, Professor at the University of Tehran and one of the most authoritative voices on Iran–US relations, joins George direct from Iran. As tensions rise and threats multiply, Prof. Marandi explains how Tehran is reading Trump’s moves, the risk of escalation, Israel’s role, and what an attack on Iran would really mean for the region and the world.

⚖️ HERE COMES THE JUDGE — Judge Andrew Napolitano, host of Judging Freedom and former Senior Judge of the New Jersey Superior Court, returns to MOATS to dissect the legality of regime change, tariffs, sanctions, war powers, NATO expansion, and whether the West has abandoned international law altogether.

Tonight’s programme covers:
– Regime Change 2.0 and the renewed targeting of Tehran
– Trump, Israel, Mossad and the Iran pressure campaign
– Tariff overdose and economic warfare
– Greenland summit fantasies and imperial overreach
– Starmer U-turns and the collapse of Western credibility

BLACKMAIL | Pay up or Greenland gets it I Trump tariff threat | Blair ‘rules’ Gaza | Harry’s war
💣 BLACKMAIL — Pay up or else. George Galloway is LIVE as Donald Trump issues a stark warning to Europe: pay the tariffs, or Greenland gets it. As power politics turn brazen, Gaza is “ruled” from afar, ICE tightens its grip inside the United States, and war rhetoric escalates across multiple fronts, tonight’s edition of The Mother of All Talk Shows exposes the coercion, hypocrisy, and danger shaping the world in real time.

🌍 Global blackmail is back — and it’s no longer subtle. From Trump’s tariff threats and imperial fantasies to Western complicity in Gaza and the silencing of dissent, George opens with a forensic monologue on a world where pressure replaces diplomacy and force replaces law.

🇷🇺 Chay Bowes — political commentator and geopolitical analyst — joins George to break down Russian Rules, NATO propaganda, Ukraine, the Western media narrative collapse, and how the balance of power is shifting despite everything we’re told. As Washington and Brussels lose credibility, Bowes explains who is really winning the information war.

A rare insider’s view of how policy is made — and why it keeps failing.

Tonight’s programme covers:
– BLACKMAIL: Trump’s tariff threat — pay up or Greenland gets it
– The return of imperial pressure politics
– Blair “ruling” Gaza and Western double standards
– ICE, repression, and fear inside the United States
– Ukraine, Russia and the propaganda war

IRAN ARMADA | Trump war threats | ICE melting | Ukraine peace deal stalled | Starmer in China
🚨 | BREAKING NEWS: Iran and Trump on the brink. Is war inevitable now?

Tonight on The Mother of All Talk Shows, George Galloway takes on a world sliding towards disorder — and asks who is really in control.

As Donald Trump appears to retreat under pressure at home, the US immigration system is in open crisis, protests rage, and the machinery of enforcement begins to fracture. Meanwhile, an Iranian naval armada moves into position, the war in Ukraine reaches a critical moment, and Western unity looks increasingly fragile.

Joining George tonight:

🔴 Jeffrey D. Sachs — Professor of Economics at Columbia University and UN Policy Adviser — on global power, war, diplomacy, and the accelerating collapse of the international system.

🔴 Craig Murray — former UK Ambassador — on Venezuela, lawfare, state secrecy, and how Western governments suppress dissent at home and abroad.

From Washington to Tehran, Kiev to Beijing, and Westminster to Caracas — this is HOMELAND, and nothing is as it seems.

I'm a little late to making this - I thought of it at least a month ago, and every day there's bigger stuff going on.

This is a general thread for documented weirdness relating to Turning Points USA, Charlie Kirk (his life, his interactions with Bill Ackman, his death, his replacement, the media & political narrative), Erika Kirk (her family background, her Romanian charity, her weirdness), etc.

The initial inspiration for this thread came when I read about Major General Paul E. Vallely. Paul Vallely (sometimes alternately spelled "Paul Valley") is an American General, who, in 1980, co-authored a paper with Michael Aquino entitled "From PSYOP to MindWar: The Psychology of Victory." Paul Vallely was in Vietnam, and he later became the commander of the U.S. Army's 7th Psychological Operations Group around 1980. He currently sits on TPUSA's Advisory Council.

Michael Aquino, who died in 2019, was a psychological warfare specialist and high priest of the Temple of Set, an offshoot of Anton Lavey's Satanic Temple which Aquino founded in 1975.

More about Michael Aquino, per Wiki:
Following his commissioning in the Army, Aquino served as a psychological warfare specialist and was deployed in the Vietnam War.[6][7] He served with the Green Berets and in the 1970s and early 1980s he was a part-time NATO liaison officer in several European countries. While off-duty on one of these tours, he visited Wewelsburg Castle, which was used by the SS and Heinrich Himmler, and performed a Satanic ritual there.[8][9][10] Aquino stated that his interest in Nazism was academic and denied that he was racist. The journalist Linda Goldston quoted him as saying: "I'm fascinated by the lessons to be learned from the Nazi experience but not blinded by their excesses", and "There was a small group of brutal and desperate men who governed a country through despotism and tyranny. They were quite brilliant in some respects, yet utterly savage in others."[9][11]



Michael Aquino wrote many books, some of which have only been published posthumously:

Psychological warfare
From PSYOP to MindWar (1980, with Paul Valley)
The Neutron Bomb (1983)
Mind War (2013)
Mindstar (2015)

Insane, you guys," Kirk allegedly says. "And then you have, was it 100 million? That heard the gospel and all about Charlie and all about everything that you guys do and the hard work of Turning Point USA is insane."

"We had thousands that were registered to vote. I think we're at, like, over 200,000 for merch sales. Don't quote me on that because I think it just keeps, like, bumping up like crazy,"

"A lot of this, the staff that worked on the memorial, they had 20-hour days for a week during the time of us grieving the loss of my husband. And honestly, I know several staff that didn't even sleep."

"I don't care if any of you have beef with each other from the past or have any issues with someone said something about this or that. Like, if you guys have any of that, please put it to rest. My husband's dead. Like, I'm not trying to be morbid, but he's dead. And it puts life into perspective, of how short life is."

"And God puts people in your life for a reason. And it teaches you a lesson. It teaches them a lesson. So if you are going through a time where— just lay it to rest. And we are moving forward Turning Point USA 2.0 with Charlie in our hearts and that's what he would want,"

"Charlie would want us to get back to work, and that's what we're doing. And that's what we did with the memorial, and I'm so honored and proud of each and every one of you because that's what we're going to do in his honor and in his name."

"We have so much to do, which is exciting. Charlie in heaven is like, 'You guys thought you had a busy schedule then, just you wait,' and he's doing some awesome things with Jesus in heaven right now,"

"Since his assassination, we have 100,000 chapter requests. We have 300,000 new donors. That is a blessing in itself. Again, not normal. All God. I think we have 50,000-plus hat orders to fulfill. I mean, I'm saying these numbers because it puts into perspective that we're not just sitting, and thinking, and looking at the wall, being like, 'What do we do?' There is so much to do."

The presidential hopefuls seeking support from Colombia’s united leftist front
Multiple left-wing parties have formalized the participation in a multipartite primary election that seeks a unified candidate in Colombia’s presidential election later this year. Among the candidates of the “Front For Life” coalition are two politicians, Ivan Cepeda and Daniel Quintero, who took part in the primary of the largest of the leftist parties, the Historic Pact, in November of last year. All candidates vow to succeed the reformist agenda of President Gustavo Petro, who will leave office on August 7.

FBI to investigate Minneapolis activists after far-right claim about Signal chats
Patel used the podcast of another rightwing personality, Benny Johnson, to break the news. Higby had posted on Sunday on X that he had “infiltrated” a group chat on Signal, the widely used communication app that offers effective encryption, populated by anti-ICE organizers in Minneapolis. Higby’s posts appear to show communication between Minneapolis activists in vehicles trying to locate and share the descriptions and license plates of potential ICE vehicles. He argued that the chats have “the sole intention of tracking down federal agents and impeding/assaulting/and obstructing them”.

No, Tim Walz and AOC, the National Guard Won’t Save Us
On the heels of mass protests demanding justice for those killed by federal agents and demanding ICE out of our communities, the capitalist state has escalated its assault with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) executing ICU nurse Alex Pretti in broad daylight. In response, Donald Trump’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller posted on X, “A would-be assassin tried to murder federal law enforcement and the official Democrat account sides with the terrorists.” Meanwhile on Truth Social, Donald Trump called Pretti a gunman, justifying the killing and attacking various Democrats. Republicans are digging in their heels, maintaining that these federal forces can kill anyone that protests them, even in legal ways, like filming. They’re showing the public how the state can commit whatever type of violence it likes, when it likes. Democrats, meanwhile, have responded with assurances that the state, through government channels, will fight this murder. During his press conference, Minnesota governor Tim Walz tried to pacify the masses fighting back in the streets, urging peaceful protest — despite the fact that he saw the same video many others did, where Pretti was being peaceful, yet killed execution style after being beaten by a gang of CBP agents.

The Right to Abortion in Puerto Rico Is Under Threat
Abortion is legal in Puerto Rico … for now. But Governor Jennifer Gonzalez recently signed a law establishing legal personhood of a fetus from the moment of conception. The law gives the fetus similar personhood rights as an unborn child. For example, the mother can claim the child to get financial benefits or name it as her heir. Since Roe v. Wade was overturned in the United States in 2022, several measures to restrict abortion have been introduced in Puerto Rico, though none had previously succeeded. Abortion remains technically protected under the right to privacy in the island’s Constitution. However, feminist groups and activists are mobilizing and are warning that laws like this threaten abortion rights. On December 22, the Coalition Aborto Libre Puerto Rico (Free Abortion Puerto Rico) called for a pañuelazo (a mass demonstration for abortion rights, specifically in Latin America, where activists gather to publicly raise and wear green bandanas) in rejection of this law. Building off the Marea Verde movement in Latin America for abortion rights, protesters called for the protection of women rights and denounced how the state is dismantling immigrant and LGBTQ+ rights.

Video recorded by another witness, who was standing behind Pretti, obtained by Drop Site News, showed that Pretti continued recording the immigration enforcement operation on his phone, as other observers blew their whistles and honked their horns, and appeared to direct traffic so that cars could pass the scene. The same clip showed that Pretti then stepped in to defend another observer who was shoved to the ground by a federal officer. That officer sprayed Pretti with a chemical agent, repeatedly, before tackling him to the street along with two other agents.

Imperialism 101 by Michael Parenti Excerpted from Against Empire
Imperialism has been the most powerful force in world history over the last four or five centuries, carving up whole continents while oppressing indigenous peoples and obliterating entire civilizations. Yet, it is seldom accorded any serious attention by our academics, media commentators, and political leaders. When not ignored outright, the subject of imperialism has been sanitized, so that empires become “commonwealths,” and colonies become “territories” or “dominions” (or, as in the case of Puerto Rico, “commonwealths” too). Imperialist military interventions become matters of “national defense,” “national security,” and maintaining “stability” in one or another region. In this book I want to look at imperialism for what it really is.

Dem-Backed ICE Body Cams Are a Giveaway to Weapons Makers
Amid President Donald Trump’s violent immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, industry-backed Democrats just helped congressional Republicans turn proposed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reforms into a $20 million windfall for the body camera industry. Federal disclosures reviewed by the Lever show that Axon Enterprise, Inc., a weapons company and the country’s largest manufacturer of body-worn cameras, has lobbied aggressively since July on the $64 billion Department of Homeland Security spending bill that lawmakers passed on Thursday. The company’s CEO, a regular campaign contributor to Republicans, also donated directly to key Democratic lawmakers who pushed for the body camera measures. Now, the company is well-positioned to reap the benefits of the $20 million allocated by the legislation for body cameras as part of ICE’s extended $10 billion budget, on top of the $75 billion in additional funding the agency received from the One Big Beautiful bill last year. Axon has faced lawsuits for monopolizing the police body camera market and raising prices on local government contracts. Its profits have soared despite recent studies casting doubt on body cameras’ ability to curb law enforcement misconduct. The homeland security spending bill has faced public opposition as unrest grows nationwide over ICE’s tactics. But instead of organizing against thePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Mexico weighs stopping oil shipments to Cuba amid concerns of Trump retaliation, sources say
Publicly, Sheinbaum has said Mexico will continue oil shipments to Cuba, saying they are based on longterm contracts and considered international aid. But the senior Mexican government sources said the policy is under internal review as anxiety grows within Sheinbaum's cabinet that the shipments could antagonize Trump. Mexico is trying to negotiate a review of the USMCA North American trade pact, while also persuading Washington it is doing enough to combat drug cartels and that U.S. military action against the groups on Mexican territory is neither welcome nor needed.

The Year of the Billionaire Tax
In 2025 alone, the six richest men in the country (and world) became $476 billion richer. During that year, the Trump regime cut back Medicaid — the federal medical assistance program relied on by over seventy million Americans, including four out of ten children — in order to bankroll lowering taxes for the rich. The bulk of the cuts are expected to hit Medicaid programs following the 2026 midterm elections, and they will hit ordinary Americans hard. Donald Trump’s 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act will raise out-of-pocket costs dramatically and kick millions of people off insurance, many of them children, as well as nearly a third of young people between the ages of eighteen and twenty-four. For California’s state medical assistance program, Medi-Cal, federal cuts are expected to drain $100 million over the next five years, potentially collapsing the state’s health care system. That means millions of people losing coverage and families needing to make hideous choices between food, housing, and medicine, as so many are already forced to. It means hospitals and clinics closing and tens of thousands of health care jobs evaporating. For a state already struggling with vast inequality and a homelessness crisis, it would have a catastrophic impact. Fun fact: there are 214 billionaires residing in California worth a collective $2 trillion. If you carved out just 5 percent of that hoarded wealth for public use, you could fill the Medi-Cal gap and fund the state’s health care system. That’s precisely what a proposed ballot initiative aims to do.

Deposing the country’s communist government – in power since the Cuban revolution in 1959 – is “100 percent a 2026 event” in the administration’s eyes, this person added. The effort would be justified under the 1994 LIBERTAD Act, better known as the Helms-Burton Act, this person added. That law codifies the U.S. embargo on Cuban trade and financial transactions.

From the same album:

Finally it's over , a hard week of work
He's coming home , the telephone rings
It's his best friend , it's time for a party
So let's move and have some fun


What an orgy , music is good
Alcohol is fleeding , half-deaf neighbours
Chaos - sex
Booze - women
What an orgy , music is good

Retards here have been claiming an imminent stock market crash for almost 10 years straight.

But it looks like this time we might actually get a crash this time because the Republicans seem to like crashing the market in their second terms.

And it does seem like Trump and his advisors are trying to crash the market.

Either that or Trump's economic advisors are just stupid.

Not that anon, but they do refer back to surplus value a few paragraphs below that.

I've seen "surplus value" used to refer to profits taken from service workers, too - it's really common, and I'm not sure if it's meaningfully wrong, and it certainly doesn't seem meaningfully wrong in instances like retail, delivery, etc. where the function of the services done is still the sale and maintenance of products.

Yea I don't necessarily buy into the idea in that blog, that's why i asked. In fact when I was reading his post before i remembered I was the guy he responded to I was thinking, "whoever he's responding to is a moron". But conflating use value and surplus value like they're interchangeable is absurd, and on top of that, "sales" as I recall is a surplus-value-realizing occupation but not surplus value generating. The question isn't supposed to be, do service workers "have value" in some sense, but instead, "do service workers have leverage and revolutionary potential on the basis of seizing the means of production". And it seems the answer may be "no".

My feeling is it's that the value added to whatever product they're handling is just very low relative to the value already involved, because it's at the end of a very long supply chain. So if you are adding an additional "1%" value to your product, guess what: no leverage

>So if you are adding an additional "1%" value to your product, guess what: no leverage
That seems really arbitrary when the total amount "1%" actually covers would in practice be billions or trillions of dollars a year when evaluating service workers as a strata within the overall workforce. You can draw the line any number of places and get a larger or smaller percentage, but if you're asking about revolutionary potential then the whole will always be better than any of its individual parts. Service workers are increasingly aware of their exploitation just like other workers, and so they should be! The greatest hindrances to leverage are lack of organization, captured unions, and high costs of living/lack of adequate pay, and any progress anywhere against this is good.

I like the way you think. I was just inspired to be negative since 2-4 years ago in my city a bunch of baristas unionised and the owner of the coffee chain just shut down every one of his businesses in a tantrum. So unlike rail workers, nurses, flight controllers, whoever, it seems like the service sector (is nursing service sector?) is extra vulnerable to capital strike.

The secession of the kneegrows owner was the best thing to happen in North America. It separated the wheat from he chaff. Our guys should have opposed the war and when it started supported the South to make the war last as long as possible.
The Confederacy actually won when it was reabsorbed. The United States is an imposter.

Nah.
Lincoln was essentially trying to catch the momentum of a simultaneous real revolution (the revolution of the slaves and abolitionists) up into the US conflict with the secessionists. The Lincoln faction weren't absolute good guys per se, but there would be absolutely no reason to root for the Confederacy, and Lincoln himself was a positive historical actor which is why he was ultimately assassinated by a long-time friend of his close acquaintance Simon Wolf, and replaced by people who made more and more capitulations to the former slave-holding class.

Simon Wolf was actually arrested at one point by Union forces under the suspicion that, through B'Nai B'Rith, Wolf had been engaging in treason and aiding the Confederacy. Simon Wolf's Masonic lodge also pledged loyalty to Albert Pike, a confederate general and Sovereign Grand Commander of the Supreme Council, Scottish Rite, Southern Jurisdiction.

The Confederacy actually could have won militarily, which would have been the worst possible outcome. At multiple times during the war, they had the upper hand. Supporting them would have been an extremely bad idea.

That seemed true at the time but they could have only won their independence, realistically. More than that would have been too much to swallow and lead to more explosive contradictions.

Them winning independence would have been a win for them, which would be bad. Lincoln would still probably get assassinated, and the success of the secession would mean a massive, militarized expansionist chattel slave state to the south of the US whose influence would likely be greater than that of the defeated south. The betrayal of the Union victory after the war ultimately came from capitulations by Lincoln's successors, which would probably still have happened even if the north lost, it would just be in an even worse position.

Slavery was living on borrowed time at that point and was being replaced worldwide by capitalist production. American historians sometimes call the Civil War the Second American Revolution, emphasizing that the First American Revolution had largely skipped over the South in its effects. The Second American Revolution simply concluded unfinished business. Even if the Confederacy had won the war the relentless march of materialist development would have ended slavery eventually. The North's economic system proved superior at industrial warfare and this capacity was only going to improve over time.
