The European Commission has an obsession with war and arms race and whoever talks about peace - is an enemy, that must be kept within a cordon sanitaire so as not to contaminate the pure and elevated parishioners of the personality cult of the high-ranking European bureaucrat.

In Romania, military support to Ukraine (in addition to the economic and humanitarian support) is a state secret. From the resolution of 17 July 2024, we learned with astonishment that Romania, along with the other Member States, contributes with 0.25% of GDP to the costs of the war in Ukraine.

We need a whole new type of discourse, hence we need new faces in the European parliament.

- If the alternative to Trump is to destroy Russia at any cost, even at the cost of unleashing a third world war, then Trump is the better choice, but that does not mean that the imperial and anti-Russian character of US policy will change dramatically.
- It is ideal for US imperialist intentions that there will be enough fools who will get their hands dirty and destroy the Slavs instead. The EU must recover, stop making a fool of itself, urgently start working in the interests of its citizens and stop supporting a war that has nothing to do with us.
- Biden has given Trump, Russia and the world a third world war to say goodbye to. Thus he finally finds himself, along with Adolf Hitler and his ilk, in the gallery of the greatest war criminals in the history of mankind.

There is a growing front in the European Parliament that fears an overly militarised Europe. MEP Danilo Della Valle ('The Left') has taken the initiative to ask MEPs to set up an intergroup for peace in Brussels to promote a path favourable to a negotiated settlement of the conflict in Ukraine (and not only there). read full story / add a comment

On Friday, Israeli struck a number of apartment blocks in the suburbs of Beirut using it is estimated 5000 lb bombs supplied directly by the USA. It was unclear initially whether Nasrallah had died or not but it has now been confirmed by Hizballah itself.

Here is a report from the Electronic Intifada

Hasan Nasrallah died on the road to liberate Palestine

Israel’s assassination of Hasan Nasrallah, the secretary general of Hizballah, in an apocalyptic bombing attack on Beirut’s southern suburb on Friday is likely, at least in the short term, to cause enormous shock, despair and demoralization among supporters of the resistance to Zionism in Lebanon and across the region.

That is exactly what it is intended to do. read full story / add a comment

VoltaireNet by Thierry Meyssan has looked behind the scenes at the recent elections in Venezuela given all the Western main stream press about it in the last few weeks. When the US govt / MSN makes a lot of noise about something it usually means there is some agenda and surprise it was another attempt at stealing an election

The presidential election in Venezuela was yet another opportunity for the West to destabilise the country. The international press consciously presented a totally false version of events in order to discredit President Nicolás Maduro and support his main challenger, Edmundo González. read full story / add a comment
Julian Assange free walks to a plane for immediature departure from UK

Julian Assange is finally free and it is reason to celebrate as his condition had deteriorated badly over the past few years and at times it looks like the vindicative British and USA governments would lead to his death with the distinct possibility that if he had been extradited to the US he would have faced a sentence of 175 years in prison.

The change of circumstances came about because the Biden administration did a plea deal with him but this is not because Biden & co are anything but war criminals but because he did not want Assange's extradition hanging over the pending election where Biden's popularity is already dismally low.

So on Mon 24th June he was able to leave the high-security British prison of Belmarsh in the UK after 5 years in addition to the 7 years holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy in London. read full story / add a comment

international / environment / opinion/analysis Thursday May 30, 2024 00:01 by indy   image 10 images   video 1 video file

This month was designated as a Chemtrails awareness month and therefore it is an appropriate time to visit this controversial topic.

The story of chemtrails goes back awhile but it appears they really ramped up in the early 2000s. The key argument is around the difference between a contrail which is a water vapor trail caused by jet engines at high altitude and represent the rapid cooling of the ater vapor in tiny ice crystals that quickly evaporate again as opposed to chemtrails which do not disappear and linger in the sky for hours. The proponents say these are fine dust particles intentionally realized.

The skeptics simply say these long lasting trails are simply contrails. However this does not stack up and on any day you can simply look up and find aircraft with short contrails that disappear quite quickly and at the same time see chemtrails that linger across the sky.

The real controversy is over what are chemtrails made of and what is their purpose. More on this in the article referenced below.

Another key observation can be made through the use of the rather now famous website https://www.flightradar24.com/ which tracks and displays nearly all civilian aircraft over the entire world. This works because each plane has a transponder which emits key data about the aircraft height, speed, position, origin and destination and other data. You can buy a relatively cheap receiver that can pick these up at least 100 miles away and it is the linkage of all these hobbyist and professional receivers linked into the internet that send all the data for all the planes to a central server for display on the website.

On any day when an aircraft flies over your house, you can go to the website and easily find the plane and details about it. BUT you will find that for aircraft emitting the long lasting trails -i.e. chemtrails -they never show up on FlightRadar24. This would suggest that they are military or covert. And the reason is simple, they don't want people tracing back where they came from. For regular aircraft in the sky with short contrails, you can easily find them on FlightRadar24

So now it is on to a selection of previous stories covering Chemtrails. The whole area is filled with lots of confusing and conflicting theories and information and undoubtedly some of it is there to misdirect and discredit any serious investigation. But one should always start off from the observations and work from there. And that is something you can do by standing outside and taking notice.

No peace with the German conditions!

We have come, and we will stay. This house was occupied by people with Kufiya in 1989. In 2024 the Kufiya will return – whether you like it or not!

We bring you two messages:

The first goes to the “Red” Flora: We are not coming to your table. We'll go into the house, do our thing, and if you want, you can talk to us. But your plenum doesn't exist to us.

The second message is: The politics of every house that is not dependent on the German state can and will be determined by migrants and anti-imperialist leftists. Let's throw out the imperial NATO leftists and “anti-German” Israel fetishizers! The time has long since come.

The depths of depravity of Israel show no signs of finding new lows. In the past few months they have massacred thousands of civilians, collapsed buildings, hospitals, shot at people rushing to get food aid, shot aid works, dropped bombs on large gatherings of civiliams.

Today though at Middle East Eye they report on this story:
Israeli drones lure Palestinians with crying children recordings then shoot them

Recently Israeli forces claimed they attacked the Al-Shifa hospital and killed many leading Hamas leaders. As with everything issued by them it is of course suspect. Now the truth has come out via a young boy who survived the massacre and in conjunction with evidence from Hamas that many of the people they claimed to have killed are not in fact even in Gaza, it turns out that Israeli forces carried out a genocidal massacre

Last September, some Italian anarchists published https://ilrovescio.info/2023/09/22/sabotage-the-war-translation-in-various-languages-of-anarchist-call-for-a-mobilization-against-the-war-in-ukraine-en-es-de/ criticising Ukrainian anarchists for defending themselves and their movement against Russian imperialist aggression.

The argument is based on both ethical and factual points. I will start by commenting on the latter, as unfortunately it seems like these comrades have fallen into an alternative reality, shaped by Russia Today and other Russian-sponsored social media disinformation. read full story / add a comment

Tucker Carlson who has a following of millions and is even more popular since he was dropped from Fix News is of the few American journalist to challenge the narrative on many issues.

Given the NATO-Ukraine vs Russia is not going according to the plan of the USA to trigger regime change in Russia despite over $100 billion being wasted on it and at least 500,000 Ukrainians dead on behalf of US strategic interests and courtesy of the Nord Stream gas pipeline destruction carried out by the US that is leading de-industrialization of Germany and hence Europe, and of course the whole pretext of the war, then it is probably important that the public who have largely only heard the Western propaganda, should get a chance to hear what the other side has to say read full story / add a comment
