The Cradle - Yemen's Saudi-backed army announced early on Saturday that it had launched a military operation targeting Ansarallah positions and military equipment.

Army spokesman Col. Majid al-Nuzaili said the operation came in response to Ansrallah attacks on military camps in the provinces of Marib and Hadhramaut.

According to Nuzaili, the operation targeted Ansrallah fighters and military equipment along contact lines across several fronts and axes.

Nuzaili said the army holds Ansarallah and those backing them fully responsible for any further escalation, warning that the army would respond "without hesitation" if attacks continue.

Statement Issued by the Yemeni Armed Forces

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Allah, the Exalted, has said: {There is no enmity except against the wrongdoers}—the Truth of Allah Almighty

In response to the continued mobilization by the Saudi enemy of its tools, reinforcing them with weapons and equipment, and its ongoing assaults in the western coastal region and Taiz Governorate, all aimed at deterring our dear people from their legitimate movement to confront the unjust siege and the treacherous, ongoing aggression against them for twelve years,

The Armed Forces, with the aid of Allah Almighty, have carried out a broad and qualitative military operation targeting the Saudi enemy's mobilizations and weapons depots in the Al-Makha area. The strike, by the grace of Allah, was precise and resulted in widespread destruction of that equipment and weaponry, as well as the killing and wounding of dozens, including Saudis, using a large number of ballistic missiles and drones.

We will not allow the Saudi enemy to achieve its objectives, which consist of targeting our people and throwing their sons into the fires of death in service of its conspiratorial agenda for the enemies of the nation. The Armed Forces will continue, with the aid of Allah Almighty and in reliance upon Him, to monitor and track all Saudi movements and mobilizations and to target them with precision and directness. Our Yemeni people and their Armed Forces will proceed according to the declared equation: "A siege for a siege, escalation for escalation, and targeting any mobilizations aimed at the Yemeni people and the free governorates."

Allah is Sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposer of affairs, the Best Protector, and the Best Helper.

Long live Yemen, free, dignified, and independent,

The Hormuz Letter, Aug 8, 2026: The Israeli military has directly informed CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper that Israel does not need approval or support from the US to wage war against Iran, adding "we are currently making preparations to start the war," per Israeli Channel 13.

Israel is preparing for a unilateral strike on Iran as it concludes the US is no longer willing to finish the war on its terms.

Iran has previously threatened to strike Israel's Haifa oil refinery and Tel Aviv directly as soon as Israel strikes Iran again, with Iran having broken the air defense layer in Jordan and other Arab countries in daily attacks over the last few weeks allowing it to strike Israel more effectively, and with Israel's own interceptor stocks now critically low leaving it more vulnerable.

This visit today, on July 28, 2026, marks the seventh consecutive visit to the US by Benjamin Netanyahu during Donald Trump's 2nd term. This is the most US visits by any "israeli" prime minister during any presidential term in history.

Demonstrations are ongoing as of 6PM ETA in DC, and a letter & petition to Maryland Governor Wes Moore and AG Anthony Brown has been released:

Dear Governor Wes Moore & Attorney General Anthony Brown,

Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu is conducting an ongoing ethnic cleansing campaign, bombing multiple countries across the Middle East, and advocating an openly fascist ideology. Netanyahu is now coming to Maryland and Washington, D.C. for his seventh visit during President Trump’s second term to continue his advocacy for war and ethnic cleansing.1 We implore you to use the powers of the Maryland Attorney General's office to investigate and prosecute Benjamin Netanyahu for his crimes.

Netanyahu has already been investigated by the International Criminal Court, which issued a warrant for his arrest and found reasonable grounds to believe he is criminally responsible both as a co-perpetrator of several crimes and as a civilian superior for the war crime of intentionally targeting civilian populations.2 This includes the war crime of using starvation as a method of warfare. For these acts, 15 countries have committed to arresting him. Residents of Maryland3 and across the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) area4 more broadly have been victims of his rhetoric and ongoing genocidal campaign. It is the responsibility of the Governor and the Attorney General to defend the Maryland residents who have been subjected to violence by Netanyahu’s crusades and to hold the perpetrator accountable for his criminal acts.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel has escalated its ongoing genocide against Palestinians, murdering over 70,000 people5. The Israeli military, under the direction of Netanyahu, has used increasingly destructive means to lay waste to Gaza. Israel has decimated the healthcare system in Gaza with 735 attacks on healthcare facilities as of June 20256. 90% of schools and universities in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed by Israeli attacks7. The Israeli prison system continues to torture Palestinians, with almost 10,000 Palestinians abducted and detained by Israel as of December 20258 and at least 98 Palestinians killed in Israeli custody bePost too long.

PSL Statement, July 29, 2026:
🇵🇸Rain or shine - we show up for Palestine!

Protesters on Tuesday showed that even torrential rain storms and police violence can't quiet opposition to war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu's seventh visit to the Trump White House.

Despite a warrant for his arrest by the International Criminal Court for war crimes, Netanyahu was allowed to move freely by the Trump administration and the governments of Maryland and Washington, D.C., and an ever-enlarging part of our city - now extending north to I Street - had been turned into a fenced-in compound for his safety from the mass calls for his arrest.

We will continue to demand the arrest of Netanyahu and all war criminals for their crimes against humanity in Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, and beyond! End all U.S. aid to Israel NOW!

Yoon Suk Yeol (emphasis on the suck) has declared martial law, out of the blue. Probably because he's loosing power, his approval rating tanked, there's scandals surrounding his wife and the opposition is blocking his political programs.

The pretext he gave for the martial law was "eradicating the pro north Korean communist forces"
If only there were communist forces about to topple the wannabe dictator of BRoK

The year is 2026 and the so-called "Left" continues to engage in romanticizing lumpen or downplaying their destructive MATERIAL effects on working class people. Meanwhile strongman "soft fascist" (to borrow a term from Zizek) figures like Bukele and Duterte enjoy record high popularity among the working classes of their respective countries, "Global South" working classes at that (how are the Third Worldists coping?).

Marx and Engels in the Communist Manifesto made it very clear what they thought of the lumpen. Social scum and, in the most likely instance, tools of reaction (like, say, fascist paramilitias). Do these "Leftists" think Marx and Engels were stupid?

… but with that said, there are two aspects which are still insightful. First, the concept of the lumpenprole itself comes from it, and second the description of the "reserve army of labor" actually is helpful and useful and you can actually understand the situation better if you focus on this aspect of the analysis and not all the shit where Marx is seething over how much he personally hates prostitutes. Seething over hookers isn't worth shit; a Fascist can blame the hookers for moral rot and seethe over it and incite, and those who have not been relegated to the positions of whores (yet) might cheer. It's worth much more to understand why lumpens exist, and to use that understanding to create a society with more educated people and more opportunities which produces less need for people to became prostitutes or beggars.

In the 19th century and early 20th century, workers were gigachads, ubermenschen. Not because of phony Mendelism-Morganism, or Weissmanist neo-Darwinism, not because of phony bourgeois-idealist "natural selection" or, Marx forbid, "genes" (which do not exist either in heritable or molecular form)… no, workers were ubermensch gigachads because they were forged in the fires of workplaces without protective equipment or safety laws or child labor laws. From a young age, workers were vernalized in their workplaces, hardening, growing calloused skin and swollen muscles. Their testosterone increased and their number of Y chromosomes even tripled, making them more male than the most manly men of today. This is why social fascist reforms made the workers weak. Workplace safety, protective equipment, child labor laws. These turned the workers into fat soft treatlers. By abolishing these bourgeois heresies we can make workers strong again, capable of class war again. This is because lysenko was right about vernalization, which applies to workers as well as crops. Only fascist gene-believers say otherwise. Abolish safety equipment and child labor laws to vernalize the future red army TODAY!

Remember, comrades. The Weismannist-Mendelist-Morganist theory is reactionary and idealistic, a tool of the bourgeois, while the Michurinist-Lysenkoist (ML!!!) theory is dialectical-materialist and proletarian. The victory of Michurinism-Lysenkoism is a victory of socialism over capitalism and fascism. Hitler's racial policies can be traced to the bourgeois genetic theory.

Israel has been bombing Lebanon effectively extending it's ethnic cleansing into the country.

It's shitty to say this but did they not see this coming? They've been right there watching gaza get flattened, why didn't they go into debt and beg Iran, China and Russia for hardware to defend themselves? Why wasn't there a rifle every rooftop and an rpg on every balcony?

I'm actually serious, I don't believe such a small country couldn't fortify their defenses to the point where this could have been avoided.

I don't claim to understand the conflict between the Lebanese Armed Forces and Hezbollah, but if Communists in China could work with the Kuomintang to kick out Japanese fascists, they could have done more.

Israel targets southern Lebanon with phosphorus bombs, state media reports
The Israeli army launched an air attack, using a phosphorus bomb, in southern Lebanon, said state-run National News Agency on Friday.

The Israeli army launched an air attack, using a phosphorus bomb, in southern Lebanon, said state-run National News Agency on Friday.

The attack targeted a residential area in Mansouri town where thick smoke rose among buildings.

The latest attacks came after Beirut and Tel Aviv concluded a seventh round of US-brokered talks Thursday.

The two countries signed a US-mediated framework agreement on June 26 providing for a phased Israeli withdrawal from occupied Lebanese territory, beginning with the implementation of a pilot model in designated areas.

Israel has continued military offensive in Lebanon since March 2. According to the Lebanese Health Ministry, the attacks have killed 4,333 people and injured 12,250 others.

Updates and current status since the start of the last thread:
(largely civilian) Palestinian death toll has now passed 72,700. 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 900 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 involved in sabotage, and multiple individuals reportedly linked to German & Indian spy agencies.

Renewed US/Israeli attacks on Iran led to the destruction of multiple US bases in west Asia and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

The US mercenary front called the GHF has reportedly disbanded.

"For Your Eyes Only": Israel’s Mole Inside the United Nations
Hacked emails show Yahav Lichner, a UN official, repeatedly supplied Israeli diplomats with confidential UN reports and private briefings. He now directs UNICEF’s Washington office.

On February 20, 2015, an official of the United Nations Population Fund sent two Israeli diplomats an email containing a confidential report about a trip two weeks earlier to Washington, D.C. by Zeid Ra’ad Al-Hussein, then the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.

“For your eyes only. Do not forward,” Yahav Lichner wrote to then-Israeli Ambassador to the UN Ron Prosor and diplomat Ronny Leshno-Yaar in a message sent from Lichner’s personal email account, describing the report as a “classified internal summary of Zeid’s meetings in Washington.”

The meetings came at a time when Israel was facing an independent commission inquiry by the UN Human Rights Council over its conduct during the 2014 military offensive against the Gaza Strip.

The document recorded private meetings that Al-Hussein held with White House officials, senators, congressional appropriations staff, AIPAC, J Street, and human rights organizations. It also revealed a concern inside Al-Hussein’s office: that congressional anger over the UN inquiry could threaten American funding for the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). Lichner added that Al-Hussein had met with members of Congress including “our friend,” the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, adding that Al-Hussein was “trying to do damage control and distance himself from the report.”

Leshno-Yaar responded that he intended to act on the intelligence that Lichner had provided. “Thank you Yahav. I have no choice and of course without addressing this information I must act with members of Congress to make them understand,” before listing the arguments he planned to make about Al-Hussein and the Gaza commission’s secretariat.

“Absolutely,” Lichner replied. “You are right.”

Over the past 48 hours, Gaza’s hospitals have received the bodies of two Palestinians who succumbed to their injuries in previous Israeli attacks and six people who were injured in new ones, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry.

Since the “ceasefire” began in October last year, Israel has killed 1,257 people and wounded 4,131 in near-daily attacks on the Strip.

Overall, since the war began on October 7, 2023, Israeli attacks have killed 73,384 and injured 174,242 people.

Israeli forces search Gaza border area after fence cut found
The Israeli military has launched a search in the area around Kibbutz Zikim, near the northern Gaza border, after a cut was discovered in the community’s perimeter fence, local media reported.

The kibbutz’s security coordinator reportedly alerted the military after discovering the breach, prompting soldiers to search the area for potential suspects.

Israeli media cited military officials as saying there is no threat to the public, while Israel’s Army Radio reported, citing security sources, that there is no indication anyone crossed into Israel from Gaza.

The federal court found that Blumentha’s Fourth Amendment rights were violated through the Department of Homeland Security’s seizure of his electronic devices.

Upon landing at Dulles International AirPort, the The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal was detained, following pressure from Zionist influencers who were angered that he attended Ayatollah Khamenei’s Funeral in Iran. The funeral was the largest in recorded human history.

The seizure of Blumenthal’s electronic devices has been widely condemned as an attack on freedom of the press & free speech.

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.

Iraqi PM meets with US oil companies in Houston
Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi has met with representatives from oil companies in Houston, Texas, a day after meeting with Trump in Washington, DC.

The prime minister’s office said that al-Zaidi met with representatives of Halliburton, Shell, Honeywell, Weatherford, and Baker Hughes and “discussed opportunities for cooperation in developing Iraq’s oil and natural gas sectors”.

Trump had promised “a lot of deals” during al-Zaidi’s visit to the US and a boost to the country’s oil output.

Pipelines, including the Iraq-Turkiye crude oil pipeline, also called the Kirkuk-Ceyhan Pipeline, have been reported as possible alternatives to oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, although their combined capacity is much lower than what passed through the waterway before the war on Iran.

Iraqi PM to visit Iran for talks tomorrow
Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi will arrive in Iran at the head of a ministerial delegation to discuss gas cooperation and regional developments following an official invitation, the Iraqi News Agency (INA) reports, quoting government spokesman Haider al-Aboudi.

Al-Aboudi said the issue of restricting weapons to the state has only been discussed in Baghdad, stressing that it is an internal Iraqi matter and will not be discussed outside the country, INA reported. (anon's note: lol)

The gas file will be on the agenda during bilateral talks between Iraq and Iran in line with Iraq’s national interests, he said.

Iraq is pursuing an initiative based on diplomatic solutions, particularly regarding current regional developments, al-Aboudi added.

Iraq has also signed agreements with the US, including understandings to establish alternative oil export routes, he said.

Iraq’s governing coalition warns armed groups face ‘terrorism’ law after deadline
Iraq’s governing State Administration Coalition has backed continued efforts to bring all weapons under state control and prevent attacks on neighbouring states from taking place inside the country.

In a statement issued by the prime minister’s media office, the coalition said using weapons without state authorisation or forming armed groups outside the official security forces was a constitutional violation.

“Anyone who threatens the country’s security will be considered an outlaw who must be confronted,” it said.

The coalition also condemned attacks against Iraqi armed forces and called for adherence to the timetable for bringing weapons under state control by September 30, 2026.

It said any armed activity outside the state’s authority after the deadline would be dealt with under Iraq’s anti-terrorism law.

Al-Zaidi reiterated Iraq’s commitment to strengthening cooperation with Saudi Arabia and stressed Baghdad’s position that Iraq would not be used as a “launching pad” for activities harming any foreign state, his office statement said.

It added that both parties agreed on the need for enhanced security cooperation and information exchange.

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.

Epstein case: French model scout and alleged recruiter found dead
Daniel Siad, 69, was found dead in his Paris suburban home. He was under investigation in France over accusations that he had helped sex offender Jeffrey Epstein find women to abuse, as well as rape allegations.

A French modeling scout with close ties to deceased US financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has been found dead at his home outside Paris, prosecutors said on Wednesday, July 22. Daniel Siad, 69, was under investigation as one of several French men accused of aiding Epstein in trafficking and abusing women. Siad had not yet been questioned by investigators, but he had denied the allegations, saying he wanted to be heard and give his version of events.

"An investigation to determine the cause of death was opened on Monday evening following the discovery," the Nanterre prosecutor's office said. An autopsy will be carried out as part of the probe. An autopsy will be carried out as part of the probe.

French investigators had been investigating Siad – who said he also held Swedish citizenship – over allegations including rape and human trafficking.

Siad's lawyer, Menya Arab-Tigrine, said her client had requested to give his side of the story before he died. "He is dead and he was innocent," she told Agence France-Presse (AFP). "If he died of a heart attack, the unbearable waiting, the pressure and the anxiety he suffered every day will have had something to do with it," she said.

The Paris prosecutor's office said it was dropping a probe targeting Siad after his death, but pursuing a wider probe into alleged human trafficking linked to Epstein, who had a flat in the French capital.

Siad's name appeared in more than 1,000 documents released as part of the declassified Epstein files. He likened his efforts to recruit women to fishing. "In this busyness I feel like a fisherman; sometimes I catch quick, sometimes no fish," Siad wrote to Epstein in 2014.

Parapower Mapping - New Article: I painstakingly reconstruct how Epstein & Trump coordinated Miss Universe & an underage modeling competition that were both staged in Ecuador in Summer ‘04, with overlapping panelists, contestants, & organizers. The Clinton Foundation provided diplomatic support to Epstein & Maxwell while they attended the Brunel-orchestrated event in Guayaquil, contacting the U.S. Ambassador to secure fuel for the Lolita Express due to a shortage.

This was one of the Clinton Global Initiative’s first ever orders of business, assistance rendered even prior to the disguised $1 million USD loan that Epstein gave in Oct. ‘04 to finance the inaugural Davos-esque conference, monies routed through the European advertising and PR agency Publicis Groupe (chosen by Ghislaine because they were Robert Maxwell’s old firm and former Clinton staffer Mary Morrison was working there briefly, overseeing the “Clinton Project” at the time).

There’s a much higher than non-zero chance that the fuel the Embassy helped furnish Epstein and his pilot Larry Visoski with was used to fly barely above preteen girls back to the States.

I show that the winner of the Models New Generation contest was a 15 year old Brazilian supermodel who already had a contract with Brunel & Epstein’s agency and who’d flown on the Lolita Express on multiple occasions prior to the pageant.

Basically irrefutable proof confirming the recollections of teen girls between the ages of 14 - 19 who were shipped in from nearly 40 countries around the globe to spend 10 days in Guayaquil and Salinas suffering the advances of coke-addicted Brunel, Epstein, and Maxwell, girls who allege that they were explicitly promised that they would win the competition if they simply attended and who have testified to the press that Brunel was “dating” one of the underage Brazilian contestants, that there was a tacit expectation of sexual favors, and that the posse of 14-15 year old girls from Brazil that hung around him and his “girlfriend” frequently bragged about their visits to Little St. James.

One of the organizers, a modeling scout named Sergio Cordero, and the former bookkeeper of MC2, have both attested that Brunel was under pressure to furnish Epstein with minors because he was phPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Gatekeeping a socialist chan from mobile users makes no sense.

Chans famously work like dogshit on mobile, so I want to explore the best possible way a chan can look on a mobile device.

>What app in your opinion is the gold standard for mobile UX?

>Have you heard of any UI toolkits that you think would work well for a chan?
>Have you ready any modern design philosophy that you think is worth looking into to implement?

Bottom line: what should leftychan look like on a phone(idealized version)?

This needs to be thought about eventually if we don't want to completely die out. New generations won't understand how to navigate a website that doesn't work the way they expect on their device.

I use the "Chance" app to browse 4chan. If you could make this site compatible with that, that would be tremendous.

In his national address on July 19, Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega stated that when the country’s next elections take place in 2027, none who promoted a violent anti-government insurrection in 2018 will be allowed to stand for office. The pledge was universally interpreted by Western media outlets as a total ban on voting, prompting hysterical interventions from the US State Dept and throughout South Florida.

July 19 is a key date in Nicaragua’s calendar – the anniversary of the victory of its Sandinista revolution in 1979 and the overthrow of the vicious US-backed Somoza dictatorship which terrorized Nicaraguans for 43 years prior. Every year, huge crowds gather in celebrations across the country, culminating in a nationally-broadcast speech by President Daniel Ortega. In recent years, Ortega has used the moment to discuss the country’s successes in the year prior, and lay out the agenda for the following year, while lauding not just the Sandinista Revolution’s triumph in 1979 but also the country’s resistance to the 2018 coup attempt – and lamenting the death and destruction it caused before peace was restored.

This July 19, while discussing that violence, Ortega proposed a blanket electoral ban on candidates who participated in fomenting the riots which plagued Nicaragua for months in a violent, US government-sponsored coup attempt which left hundreds dead.

“There will be no elections like that again here – no more elections through which they can try cheating their way to government or cheat their way to taking power. We need to create laws that will put up a wall, a barrier, against the coup-plotters, against those who are traitors to their country. And no matter how much money the Yankees give them, they won’t succeed!”

Even for casual observers, it was clear that the head of the Nicaraguan government was proposing restrictions on candidates funded and directed by a hostile foreign power situated in the US. But in corporate newsrooms across the country, editors pounced on the phrase “there will be no elections.”

Quoting the President’s statement completely out of context, The New York Times shrieked that Daniel Ortega planned to abolish elections completely, strengthening his “authoritarian grip” on the country. A headline in business journal Bloomberg blared: “Nicaragua’s Dictatorship Should Be Marco Rubio’s Next Problem.” Right on cue, Rubio issued a statement accusing the NicaraguanPost too long.
