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.

Seyed Mohammad Marandi - Any US aggression against Iran will result in an immediate and relentless counterattack, permanently ending oil and gas exports from West Asia and the Caucasus.

As a precaution, all who are able should immediately leave regimes hosting US bases. They will be fully complicit.

Report: Rioters attacked Palestinian ambassador’s residence in Tehran
——
Around 200 rioters attacked the residence of the Palestinian Authority ambassador in Tehran on 8 January, chanting slogans, throwing Molotov cocktails, and forcing their way inside, according to Asr Iran. The assault left Salam al-Zawawi suffocated and injured, along with members of the embassy staff, after which she was transferred to hospital.

The ambassador, her family, and staff were forced to shelter in the basement until Iranian security forces intervened, confronted the attackers, and evacuated those inside, as extensive damage was reported to the residence amid the wider unrest that day.

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.

Press Statement by Hamas:
——
"Palestinian prisoners in the fascist occupation’s prisons are facing inhumane conditions and systematic abuse and torture. The world must move immediately to support them and end their suffering.

What Hebrew media is broadcasting to the world of scenes showing brutal abuse of prisoners in the criminal Zionist enemy’s prisons represents one of the most horrific images of arrogance and a blatant, insolent challenge to all humanity and to international laws and conventions. Today, prisoners are not merely facing 'violations,' but a full-fledged crime against humanity being committed inside prisons.

We condemn the state of international silence regarding what our heroic prisoners are subjected to, including brutal practices and inhumane conditions, especially as occupation authorities, officials, and journalists openly boast about crimes that should shake the human conscience. The number of prisoners in occupation prisons exceeds 9,300, including thousands held under administrative detention without charge or trial, in flagrant violation of the most basic standards of justice.

Our prisoners are subjected to policies of physical and psychological repression, deliberate medical neglect, deprivation of visits, and measures of restriction and starvation, all of which threaten their lives and health and deepen their daily suffering.

We call on the international community, the United Nations and its institutions, and relevant international human rights and humanitarian organizations to leave the zone of silence regarding the prisoners’ issue and take action to stop these brutal crimes, hold the fascist occupation leaders accountable, compel the occupation to respect the Geneva Conventions and international humanitarian law, and enable international bodies to visit prisons and inspect prisoners’ conditions without restrictions.

We urge Arab, Islamic, and international organizations, institutions, and movements to organize broad solidarity campaigns for the prisoners in occupation prisons, exert pressure on all parties, demand their release and an end to their humanitarian suffering, and continually remind the world that our prisoners are not numbers, but human beings with rights, lives, and dignity."

Israel bulldozes UNRWA buildings in occupied East Jerusalem
The destruction comes as Israel clamps down on NGOs providing humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza.

Israel has begun bulldozing buildings inside the headquarters of the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) in occupied East Jerusalem, as the far-right government clamps down heavily on humanitarian groups that provide desperately needed aid to Palestinians in Gaza.

UNRWA said in a statement on Tuesday that Israeli forces had confiscated staff devices and forced them out of their headquarters in the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood.

“This is an unprecedented attack not only against UNRWA and its premises. It constitutes a serious violation of international law and the privileges and immunities of the United Nations,” it said.

Later on Tuesday, Israeli forces fired tear gas at a Palestinian trade school in a second targeting of a UN facility in occupied East Jerusalem.

Local sources reported earlier that an Israeli army group, accompanied by bulldozers, stormed the UNRWA’s compound after sealing off the surrounding streets and intensifying its military presence in the area, and proceeded to demolish structures inside the compound, according to the Palestinian news agency Wafa.

Israeli lawmakers and member of the government were also present, according to UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini, who said the attack came “in the wake of other steps taken by Israeli authorities to erase the Palestine Refugee identity”.

Israeli comedian detained at Toronto airport following complaint by Hind Rajab Foundation
——
Israeli comedian Guy Hochman was questioned for around six hours on Monday after arriving in Canada, following a complaint lodged by the Hind Rajab Foundation. Sources close to Hochman told Israel's Channel 12 that he was detained upon landing at Toronto airport and released only after intervention by the Israeli consulate.

The Hind Rajab Foundation said last week it had submitted a criminal complaint alleging “military propaganda and incitement linked to Israel’s war on Gaza,” referring to videos Hochman filmed with Israeli soldiers during Israel's war on Gaza.

The group says that “these activities led to his recruitment into a role linked to the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit, an unusual position for a civilian entertainer. In this role, Hochman appeared in military uniform and disseminated messaging that glorified destruction in Gaza, promoted revenge narratives, and contributed to the normalization of war crimes.”

…

The Hind Rajab Foundation has intensified its legal action against Israeli comedian Guy Hochman by filing an urgent request for prosecution in the US. The filing is supported by an extensive evidentiary dossier alleging war crimes and direct incitement to genocide linked to Israel’s actions in Gaza.

The move follows Hochman’s detention and prolonged interrogation in Canada at Toronto Pearson International Airport after authorities received the complaint and investigative materials. He was reportedly released only after intervention by the Israeli embassy.

The request was submitted to the US Department of Justice ahead of Hochman’s planned appearance in New York City later today. The dossier details alleged violations of international humanitarian law and US federal statutes, including the War Crimes Act and the Genocide Statute, and includes evidence such as footage showing Hochman planting explosives at a mosque in Gaza.

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.

US immigration thugs escalate terror campaign, as sentiment for Minneapolis general strike grows among workers

On Sunday night it was revealed that a man living in Minneapolis who was kidnapped by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) thugs on January 6 died on January 14 at the Camp East Montana concentration camp in El Paso, Texas. Multiple outlets reported that Victor Manuel Diaz, 36, from Nicaragua, was found unconscious and unresponsive at the facility last week.

Diaz is at least the third person to die at the sprawling tent camp in south Texas in the last month and a half. On January 3, ICE announced that Geraldo Lunas Campos died at the same facility after “staff observed him in distress.” This purposefully vague statement was aimed at concealing the fact that Lunas Campos died after he was attacked by guards at the facility.

Last week, the Washington Post reported that the El Paso County Office of the Medical Examiner was likely to classify Lunas Campos’ death as a “homicide,” with the preliminary cause of death being “asphyxia due to neck and chest compression.” That is, Lunas Campos did not receive enough oxygen because severe pressure was being applied to his neck and chest.

Santos Jesus Flores, a witness to the incident, told the paper he saw at least five guards fighting with Lunas Campos after the latter refused to enter a segregated cell without his medication. Flores told the Post he saw guards choking the father of three and that he heard Lunas Campos scream, “No puedo respirar,” Spanish for “I can’t breathe,” before falling unconscious.

“He said, ‘I cannot breathe, I cannot breathe.’ After that, we don’t hear his voice anymore and that’s it,” Flores said.

In the first 19 days of 2026, at least six people have already died while in the custody of ICE. These deaths are unfolding amid the ongoing federal occupation of Minnesota, where roughly 3,000 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents have been deployed to carry out mass raids and attacks on the working class as part of the Trump administration’s drive to establish a presidential dictatorship.

In addition to deaths in ICE custody, at least two people have been shot by immigration thugs in Minnesota since the start of the year, including the murder of Renée Nicole Good on January 7 by DHS agent Jonathan Ross. As social opposition mounts, Trump has repeatedly threatened to invoke the InsurrePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

What you should know about the Syrian government-SDF truce agreement
A central pillar of the ceasefire deal revolves around the integration of the Syrian Democratic Forces into Syrian state institutions. Under the truce deal, SDF fighters and security personnel are to be individually vetted before being integrated into Syria’s defence and interior ministries. Civilian institutions that were previously administered by branches of the SDF are also stipulated to be absorbed into state structures, per the agreement. Al-Sharaa said that the current ceasefire plan remains in line with the 10 March agreement, which called for the integration of all civil and military institutions to be under the control of Damascus.

The army did not say how many fighters had been released from the prison. The SDF said in a statement that it had lost control of the prison after an attack by the army, a claim that the military has denied.

Cobb said she wasn’t ruling on whether the new policy passes legal muster. Rather, she said, plaintiffs’ attorneys representing several Democratic members of Congress used the wrong “procedural vehicle” to challenge it. The judge also concluded that the Jan. 8 policy is a new agency action that isn’t subject to her prior order in the plaintiffs’ favor.

Following the mobilizations that unfolded from the very first moment of the imperialist intervention in Venezuela, members and friends of the Communist Youth of Greece (KNE) from universities in Athens gathered on Thursday, 15 January, at the Athens University of Economics and Business for an event in solidarity with the people of Venezuela and, more broadly, with the struggles of the peoples worlwide. At the opening of the event, KNE members formed the slogan “Solidarity with the people of Venezuela” using pickets inside the packed amphitheatre where the event was held, while chanting slogans in solidarity with the struggles of the peoples. The event was attended by Themis Gionis, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE).

Trump asks Turkiye’s Erdogan, Egypt’s el-Sisi to join Gaza ‘board of peace’
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan received the proposal in a letter sent Friday by Trump inviting him to “become a founding member” of the board, Turkish presidential communications director Burhanettin Duran posted on social media on Saturday. Meanwhile, Egypt’s foreign minister, Badr Abdelatty, said at a news conference on Saturday that the country was reviewing a separate invitation from Trump to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to join the board.

Iran’s supreme leader says 'thousands killed' in unrest, blames Trump and Israel
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has said that “several thousand” people were killed during weeks of nationwide protests, in the first official public acknowledgement of the scale of deaths from the unrest. Speaking on Saturday, Khamenei blamed US President Donald Trump for the violence, accusing Washington of responsibility for the casualties, destruction and turmoil across the country. “We consider the US president criminal for the casualties, damages and slander he inflicted on the Iranian nation,” Khamenei said, according to state media.

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.

The hunger strike is not over. 22yo Umer Khalid is on Day 9 of strike.

He gave the state 5 more days to enter negotiations until he stops drinking water.

Humans can only survive 3-4 days without water.

"Free Palestine, Free all political prisoners, Long live the Muqawamah (resistance)," Umer wrote. "I put my trust in Allah, and trust all of you to keep fighting. I am certain that neither Allah nor the people will abandon me…I believe the timing has never been better and victory is near inshallah."

These are Umer's demands:

1. Right to a Fair Trial and Full Disclosure of Evidence of the Brize Norton Damage Figures
2. End All Censorship
3. Deproscribe Palestine Action

They did, that's why they're in prison doing hunger strikes.

And the previous hunger strikers who just ended their hunger strike got some demands met. I'm just now realizing that I don't think I've posted much about that yet, here's the last post which alludes to it: >>493746
Basically they got some concessions wrt prisoners' rights, an Elbit contract with the British state got canceled, and IIRC someone from the government agreed to meet with their legal representatives. IMO it wasn't enough and they should have kept going until they got everything, but Umer Khalid just restarted his so it's possible that this tactic could be more effective in coming days.

I think hunger strikes are most effective in cultures with a tradition of hospitality. Where it's frowned upon to let a neighbor go hungry or be harmed. That's why they were effective in Ireland. I don't know if the UK is really like that, the English especially seem to have a history of being nasty to their neighbors.

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.

The problem here is believing that Western Anarkiddies or much of Western anything had to do with the collapse of Assad. I'm very sure that the West was shocked by the collapse of Assad just like anyone else.
The issue really, the Western left needs to stop pinning it's hopes and dreams on backwards as fuck ultra-reactionary shitholes filled with 60-autism score tribals and stop tying themselves to leadership that only holds power through a web of corruption instead of genuine civic institutional support from top to bottom.
The Jihadists just had to wait for their period to strike after Assad flubbed returning the country to normalcy because all the reconstruction funds ended up in certain allied families pockets instead of where they needed to go and they did.
There was no good outcome for Rojava the moment they didn't unite with Afrin where all their heavy hardware was.
The reality is unless there are serious Marxist-Leninist forces who are able to seize a lot of power quickly, or it's a developed country with again, Marxist forces, there isn't really any point to follow or care about these conflicts so much beyond just larger IR grand chessboard discussions.

They spent 13 years waging economic, direct, and proxy warfare against the Assad government, including recruiting HTS a year or more prior to the final putsch.

This is bad analysis, and the reason it's bad analysis is because you don't actually understand what's going on.

>The issue really, the Western left needs to stop pinning it's hopes and dreams on backwards as fuck ultra-reactionary shitholes filled with 60-autism score tribals
Like the ones that beat the USSR in Afghanistan?

That's the level of analysis you're offering here. You're either doing this out of naivity (not seeing or understanding the larger picture), or you're purposefully misrepresenting the situation out of, I don't know, maybe some kind of ethnosupremacist guiding ideology which encourages you to downplay the significance of imperial war to empire.

I never cheered for Assad, I always thought that was stupid, but the fall of Assad by US/"Israel"-aligned takfiri groups was objectively a bad thing, and there is literally nothing wrong with people understanding why that is and not internalizing US propaganda in the future. That includes racist propaganda about how all these places are "ultra-reactionary shitholes filled with 60-autism score tribals." Like, what? You think you're so good because you live in a country where you can legally admit that you like getting fucked in the ass? If you are at all sincere, please reconsider your foolish western ""Marxist"" chauvinism, you absolute clown.

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.

In case the string of major ISIS attacks in 2024 against Iran, Assad's Syria, Palestinian factions in Syria, the Taliban, and Russia didn't tip you off as to whose interests these guys really serve, here's this:

ISIL claims Kabul attack on Chinese restaurant that killed seven people
Group links attack to China’s ‘crimes’ against Uighurs. Beijing urges Taliban government to protect its nationals.

ISIL (ISIS) has claimed responsibility for an explosion at a Chinese restaurant in Afghanistan’s capital that killed at least seven people.

The group said in a statement posted on its Aamaq news agency late on Monday that a suicide bomber entered a restaurant in Kabul frequented by Chinese nationals and detonated an explosive vest.

ISIL’s statement, which claimed 25 people were killed or wounded in the blast, including Taliban guards, linked the attack to “growing crimes by the Chinese government against Uighurs” and issued a further threat against Chinese nationals in the country.

Ministry of Interior spokesperson Mufti Abdul Mateen Qani said on Tuesday that the cause of the explosion at the Chinese Noodle restaurant in the commercial Shahr-e-Naw area was “unknown so far and is being investigated”.

Police spokesperson Khalid Zadran said the blast killed a Chinese national, identified only as Ayub, and six Afghans.

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”.

MintPress News:
On Wednesday, January 14, 2026, the United States completed its first direct sale of Venezuelan crude oil, valued at approximately $500 million. This action follows the January 3 kidnap of Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces.

The U.S. Department of Energy is currently marketing between 30 million and 50 million barrels of crude that had been "stranded" in storage due to previous U.S. blockades.

U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright stated that these cargoes are fetching prices roughly 30% higher than those achieved under the Maduro administration. While Maduro previously sold oil at deep discounts to China to bypass sanctions, the U.S. is now marketing it at a narrower discount (approximately $6–$9 below Brent) to global buyers and U.S. Gulf Coast refiners.

Global commodity trading giants Vitol and Trafigura have received special U.S. licenses to negotiate and export these cargoes.

Proceeds from these sales are being deposited into U.S.-controlled accounts. To prevent seizure by international creditors, the largest of these accounts is reportedly located in Qatar, which is being used as a "neutral venue".

The Department of Energy has indicated that the U.S. role in managing and selling Venezuelan oil will continue "indefinitely" to ensure revenues are used for "both American and Venezuelan" benefit.

The Cuban government has announced official funeral honors and a public display of the remains of 32 Cuban military personnel killed during the January 3 operation in the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, Cuba’s Communist Party newspaper Granma reported on Monday evening.

The public funeral arrangements will include a "March of the Fighting People" on Tuesday morning, it said.

Cuba released names and images of the deceased las[t] week, when national mourning was declared nationwide across Cuba.

Leaked Emails Reveal Epstein Brokered Meetings Between Ehud Barak and UAE Billionaire

Leaked Emails Reveal Epstein Brokered Meetings Between Ehud Barak and UAE Billionaire

Washington (QNN)- Convicted sex offender and multi-millionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein brokered several meetings between former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and UAE billionaire Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, according to leaked emails which also showed that UAE and Israel had deep intelligence and business backchannel ties for decades.

The emails, reported by Drop Site News on Wednesday, revealed that Epstein pitched a meeting with Sulayem, the CEO of Dubai's international port operator DP World, with Barak in 2013 on the grounds that the former was “the right hand of maktoum”, an apparent reference to Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai and vice president of the UAE.

DP World is owned by the emirate of Dubai. It has expanded across the Middle East and Africa with the support of the UAE’s foreign policy. DP World's operations have come under renweed focus amid the UAE's rivalry with Saudi Arabia in the Red Sea.

According to the emails, Barak and Sulayem met several times in meetings arranged by Epstein.

Epstein attempted to facilitate an investment by Sulayem in an Israeli logistics chain in July 2013 and asked Barak for his opinion. At the time, the Israeli politician had just left government after having served as minister of defence and deputy prime minister until March 2013.

“I think it’s a little bit too early. Probably once (and IF) we’ll start getting deeper into a sincere peace process. Or alternatively after the next revolution on either side of the ME barricades,” Barak wrote, according to the leaked email.

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.

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.

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.

>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."

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.

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.

I keep finding myself wanting to post MOATS episodes, but they typically cover so much ground that I don't know where to post them. So here's a thread for discussion of Mother Of All Talk Shows episodes, George Galloway, and the Workers' Party in general.

Today's episode attached - Galloway covers Venezuela, Yemeni retaliations hitting "Israeli" airports, speculates that Iran may respond to "Israeli" threats (in light of previous attacks) with a strike, and more!

RAMPAGE | International disorder | Trump eyes Greenland | Iran targeted | Israel’s Lebanon plan
🔥 RAMPAGE. The world is spinning out of control — and George Galloway is LIVE to take it head on. From Trump’s expanding sights on Venezuela, Cuba, Colombia and even Iran, to Israel’s widening war plans and the deepening global disorder, tonight’s edition of The Mother of All Talk Shows pulls no punches.

The first major MOATS of the new year opens with George’s unfiltered monologue on an international system in freefall — a rampage of power, empire, and consequence as Washington sharpens its knives and the world braces for what comes next.

📰 Anya Parampil — journalist, author of Corporate Coup: Venezuela and the End of US Empire, and one of the sharpest analysts of US regime-change operations — joins George to break down Trump, Rubio, Venezuela, Latin America, sanctions warfare, and who may be next in Washington’s crosshairs.

🎖 Scott Ritter — former Marine Corps intelligence officer and UN weapons inspector — delivers his devastating War Report, cutting through propaganda on Ukraine, Russia, NATO, Israel, Iran, and the dangerous military escalations unfolding right now.

🌐 Tonight George covers:
– Trump’s Venezuela obsession and regime-change politics
– Is Cuba, Colombia or Iran next?
– Israel’s Lebanon plans and Middle East escalation
– Ukraine, Russia and the real military picture
– Epstein, power, and who is protected

ICED | Thousands protest Renee killing | Iran warns US | Trump Greenland vow | Epstein and Mandy
🧊 ICED — George Galloway is LIVE as the world reels from protest, repression, and rising global tension. Tonight on The Mother of All Talk Shows, thousands take to the streets after the killing of Renee Good, ICE becomes a flashpoint in America’s deepening crisis, Iran issues stark warnings to the United States, and Donald Trump renews his explosive vow over Greenland.

As the news breaks in real time, George leads a forensic, unfiltered examination of a world hardening fast — where protest meets power, censorship meets resistance, and empire meets consequence.

🌎 Pepe Escobar — legendary independent journalist and geopolitical analyst — joins George to break down Venezuela, sanctions, CIA pressure, Latin America, Iran, and the accelerating shift toward a multipolar world. From Caracas to Tehran, Escobar explains how US power is being challenged — and what comes next.

🇺🇸 Jackson Hinkle — US-based political analyst and host of Legitimate Targets — reports from inside America as protests erupt, ICE dominates headlines, and political division deepens. Hinkle analyses the Renee Good killing, nationwide unrest, Trump’s agenda, and how US society is being reshaped in real time.

Tonight’s programme covers:
– Thousands protest after the Renee Good killing
– ICE, repression, and America’s internal fracture
– Iran warns the United States: escalation or deterrence?
– Trump’s Greenland vow and imperial politics

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.

🇵🇸 Dr Annelle Rodriguez Sheline — former US State Department official and Middle East research fellow at the Quincy Institute — returns to MOATS to dissect Gaza, Blair’s role, US policy failures, and why Washington’s Middle East strategy is collapsing under its own contradictions. 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

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.

Why is the isekai genre prevalent over cyberpunk in anime/manga? Is it because they lost faith in the future because Japan's Lost Decades doomerism?

Isekai gets views like nothing else, so they keep making more of it. As to what kind of itch it scratches, I suppose it's a form of escapism, easy self-insert, and leveling up that make it addicting.

IMO we kind of already live in a cyberpunk dystopia, many elements of that genre have already been done in 80's, 90's and early 2000's anime.

It's impossible to predict what the next trend will be in anime after isekai tbqh. It will probably reflect some sort of change in japanese society.

Well for one thing futurist fiction requires some actual imagination. Isekai, especially the kind that rehashes Dragon Quest III endlessly, requires next to no thought whatsoever to shit out. They just take the same fucking premise and tweak one thing about it endlessly.
