US justice department subpoenas Minnesota Democrats accused of impeding ICE efforts
A copy of a subpoena to the office of the Minneapolis mayor, Jacob Frey, obtained by the Guardian, requests guidance and policies related to immigration enforcement in Minnesota since last year. It also requests communication regarding those policies with other state agencies, as well as documents related to “hindering, doxxing, identifying, or surveilling immigration officers”.

‘It Has to Stop’: Minnesota Police Chief Says Off-Duty Cops Racially Profiled by ICE
“In Brooklyn Park, one particular officer who shared her story with me was stopped as she passed ICE going down the roadway,” Bruley continued. “They demanded her paperwork, [but] she is a US citizen, and clearly would not have any paperwork. When she became concerned about the rhetoric and the way she was being treated she pulled out her phone in an attempt to record the incident. The phone was knocked out of her hands.”

What lies ahead in 2026?
As 2026 gets underway, British capitalism is entering another year in its long-running decline and disarray. This isn’t just a rough patch. Economic weakness, institutional decay, and social malaise are converging. Together they point to a system that has reached its limits. As the management committee of this broken system, the Starmer government is hated. But the anger goes deeper than just the government. The authority of Britain’s major institutions has collapsed. The police, the monarchy, the BBC, the courts, Parliament itself – none command any real respect. What’s striking is that the distrust comes from the left and right. The right sees ‘two-tier policing’ and a biased media; the left sees repression and corruption. All see the economic crisis and falling living standards. And increasing numbers draw the conclusion that these institutions are not neutral, competent, or legitimate. Westminster’s two-party system is now finished. Historically, Britain’s electoral system produced stable governments by rotating power between two large parties that could both, when push came to shove, be trusted to defend the interests of British capitalism. That arrangement is now breaking down.

“Bolivia Is Not for Sale”
“Fuerza, fuerza, fuerza! Fuerza, compañeros!” bellowed a man in a miner’s helmet into a megaphone. Marching through the sun-drenched streets in the haze of noisy firecrackers, thousands of miners, workers, peasants, civil society associations, and indigenous organizations in Bolivia descended on the city of La Paz earlier this month in the biggest social mobilization in at least five years. Beyond the city, road blockades led by union locals brought transport to a near standstill across the country. In the streets, the mantra was “Bolivia no se vende” (Bolivia is not for sale). The mass protests against the executive decree of newly elected Rodrigo Paz’s conservative government lasted nearly a month. While presented as the elimination of the fuel subsidy, which keeps gasoline prices artificially low, Decree 5503 would have also privatized key natural resources and implemented a wide range of austerity measures. The impressive display of workers’ might, combined with an effective negotiation strategy by the traPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

The fuck are you even talking about?

If you give any weight to the Principia Discordia, and you shouldn't, because it tells us so: I don't know about Malaclypse the Younger, but Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst was certainly involved in circles around forms of anarchism. Historians pretend Lord Omar themself published a newsletter called Zenarchy (it was really Ho Chi Zen).

The mere concept of Every Man a Pope has clear suggestions of anarchist horizontal structure. It would be absurd to claim that Discordianism isn't a product of anarchists tired of anarchism.

>>493799
Once could claim the Discordian thesis is a constructive reversal of the destructive anarchism.
Discordianism is chaotic hyperarchism. Instead of burning all the ladders, we've given everyone a ladder.
Eris is our goddess, not your ruler. And every known person is at the apex of Her followers - a pope of the entire religion.

Musk seeks up to $134 billion from OpenAI and Microsoft
"Without Elon Musk, there'd be no OpenAI. He provided the bulk of the seed funding, lent his reputation, and taught them all he knows about scaling a business. A pre-eminent expert quantified the value of that," Musk's lead trial lawyer Steven Molo said in a statement to Reuters. OpenAI in a statement called it an "unserious demand" by Musk and part of what it said was his "harassment campaign" against OpenAI.

How many “bad apples”? – Serial rapist ex-police officer sentenced to life
“Bastard Dave” is the lighthearted nickname given to former armed police officer David Carrick by the colleagues who knew him best. This convicted sex offender, who was charged with 71 sexual offences in 2023, has recently received his 37th life sentence – this time, for the molestation of a 12-year-old girl in 1989. David Carrick is now known to have victimised 14 women across several decades. His harrowing crimes include 24 counts of rape, multiple cases of sustained violent physical and mental abuse, and threatening his victims with work-issued weaponry. Crown Prosecution Service Chief Prosecutor Jaswant Narwal stated during Carrick’s trial in 2023 that “the scale of the degradation Carrick subjected his victims to is unlike anything I have encountered in my 34 years with the Crown Prosecution Service”. Notably, Carrick made repeated use of his role in the police to enact this violence against women undisturbed. His distinct technique was to lure in his victims by reassuring them they were safe with him due to his position as a police officer.

John Reed Ten Days that Shook the World Chapter 1: Background
TOWARD the end of September, 1917, an alien Professor of Sociology visiting Russia came to see me in Petrograd. He had been informed by business men and intellectuals that the Revolution was slowing down. The Professor wrote an article about it, and then travelled around the country, visiting factory towns and peasant communities–where, to his astonishment, the Revolution seemed to be speeding up. Among the wage-earners and the land-working people it was common to hear talk of “all land to the peasants, all factories to the workers.” If the Professor had visited the front, he would have heard the whole Army talking Peace… The Professor was puzzled, but he need not have been; both observations were correct. The property-owning classes were becoming more conservative, the masses of the people more radical. There was a feeling among business men and the intelligentzia generally that the Revolution had gone quite far enough, and lasted too long; that things should settle dowPost too long.

yeah it's about the fires in Patagonia. Jews are openly setting up a backup occupation in Argentina so they have somewhere to flee to after they provoke Iran into firing more missiles at their occupation in Palestine. They even have a Latin American version of the Abdaham Accords:
>Milei announces launch of Isaac Accords in meeting with Israel’s foreign minister
https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-876596
…named after the mythical biblical character that Yahweh instructed Abraham to tie up and kill as a ritual sacrifice. Not a great sign for the Argentinian people.

By the way, Netanyahu's real last name is "Mileikowsky." I wonder if he's actually related to Milei.

>>493807
Interesting.
Has there been any proof that the current crop of Patagonia fires were set by zionists, though?

I've read that "Israeli" tourists set at least one of the previous ones, but haven't seen proof about the latest crop of fires.

>haven't seen proof about the latest crop of fires
there's an established MO and ongoing assault that the occupiers are conducting. while I also want to see as much evidence as can be gathered about the criminals, it's safe to assume the fires are related. splitting hairs over this is like wanting verification that every last bomb dropped on gaza came from the IOF.

>>493800
>I do not fucking care if people are mad at Zionists for "the wrong reasons" anymore
there's only one "wrong reason" to be mad at the jews that we must police and reject, and that's the false belief that they are "foreign semites." in reality, this Jewish reich is a home-grown problem of its host nations (developed in concert with the other, gentile elite/ruling class factions) and must be dealt with accordingly, rather than by pushing this problem onto uninvolved nations such as Palestine.

notice how all of the reactionary western "critics" of judaism can list all kinds of crimes of terrorism, infiltration, espionage, censorship, treason etc that organized judaism is conducting in their countries, and then strangely they offer the criminals the easy way out via deportation to "Israel," which is not the punishment required by law for these crimes. this is exactly the kind of attitude the zionist movement seeks to promote, as it benefits their occupation in Palestine by increasing the number of jewish settlers. this also gives them impunity and the opportunity to regroup and renew their criminal activities in the country they are expelled from.

this is why I argue for anti-judaism and against the crypto-jewish-zionist ideology of "anti-semitism."

>>493811
I'll check this out. I'm not gonna claim I'd be surprised if this is a plot - none of it surprises me anymore - I'm just genuinely curious about assessing the facts. I don't think it's equivalent to Gaza, because I already know enough about Gaza to know that the splitting of hairs in that circumstance would be ridiculous, but I don't know as much about Argentina. So I'll read this and see what I think.

>this is why I argue for anti-judaism and against the crypto-jewish-zionist ideology of "anti-semitism."
You're not going to convince me about this last one, I'm afraid, but I don't care if you take this position and I'm not offended by this kind of thing anymore.

>>493814
>You're not going to convince me about this last one, I'm afraid, but I don't care if you take this position and I'm not offended by this kind of thing anymore
I respect that, but do ask then, what would it look like in practice if zionist judaism was really defeated? What remnant of non-zionist judaism would be left, and would it require extensive rewrites/edits of their religious canon to remove all of the hateful and supremacist aspects (similar to the minor and unsubstantial edits made by Reform Judaism)? How many synagogues and Jewish institutions would survive if the war criminals, terrorists, mafiosi, and spies were actually prosecuted?

I don't arrive at anti-judaism as a goal in and of itself, but as a consequence of the reality of anti-zionist praxis. the religion had its chance and blew it catastrophically, proving its critics right in ways they barely imagined.

Remind me, is he /ourguy/? I think he does like military commentary?

>>493735
Our guy? Not really in my opinion. He's just critical of NATO/US wars/genocide. I don't really listen to him, but that's why they're coming after him.

Money is the only sacred thing under capitalism, you know it's bad when they have to fuck with it. We are really in the final stretch of late stage capitalism.

I don't think he's a lefty but he is a very important voice against world war 3.

he's a retard grifter and a spook, but yeah it's fucking funny that nobody at the end has any money

He was a what you would call it in the terminology an idol worshiper, he is worshiped by other idol worshiper

>>493681
I read that he was more Leninist than Lenin and believed that Marxists can't trust the masses. What was his end plan, his state? Did he not believe in a physical revolution?

I've only read his last interview and wasn't all that impressed. His critique of the other sellouts in Italy seems correct, but his purity spiral response to it seems to have accomplished absolutely nothing in the end. What was the winning move?

>>493704
It's strange that he seems to have been against anti fascism

Who do you think made China the factory of the World? Who was Kissinger? Who created Nixon? Just google China Rothschild for spicy facts, like that the Rotschild have a residence permit for Peking.
Anyway the current worldsystem of imperialism needs to crush China to increase the exploitation of Chinese workers and to encroach Russia, so it is safe that there are plans and moves being made in darkness. But maybe I'm wrong about Xi and he is ourguy in this, who knows.

Man do you think the Rothschilds will become irrelevant sooner or later then

Why can they never plainly say what they mean? Libs hide behind double negatives and smug words because without that they are naked zionists.

What if the operations against Venezuela and Iran are actually to distract from ICE in the US? Or is it just coincidence?

>>493624
ICE is actually part of the same programme, they're using it to sow chaos and fear domestically and to crack down on dissent both to the genocide in Palestine and to a coming largescale war.
Probably the real reason the DHS was created under Bush to begin with - the neocons/American state have been planning war with Iran since even earlier than that. The same instruments incorporated into DHS/NSA/whathaveyou power will be used against the American public, and so will the "cop cities" they spent the last several years of the 2020s building without public consent.

The insane crackdowns in the UK and EU are of the same nature and serve the same purpose.

The political ramifications of any of this are basically non-existent, because mainstream politics, media, and most of social media have been consolidated under the control of the "security states" in these countries and their oligarchs. The actions taken are unpopular, but they are more worried about actions taken in response than about awareness of their crimes at this point; enough people know what's up, so they are preparing to crack down against material domestic resistance, which is the only actual way to stop them.

>dictatorship
Funny how the government of Venezuela is still functioning after its "dictator" was kidnapped.
