What's called "civilization" is a linear programming mechanism driving Western so-called wisdom toward human toil, ruin, desecration, and meaningless, deliberate, terrified and terrifying obfuscation. It's built on lies. (4/9)

Crazy how they arrested him over some social media posts, while you got pedophiles in the White House and all through Congress roaming free.
Former Broward District 20 candidate Elijah Manley @iElijahManley arrested for sending violent threats somewhere to someone. Broward DA is kicking the case to the State of Florida for prosecution over conflict of interest.

The IDF provided cover, with tear gas and machine guns, while the settlers beat @washingtonpost journalist Heidi Levine nearly to death. Then the IDF shot a Palestinian bystander, and aimed their guns and shoved the paramedics who were trying to treat him. All of this documented.
Earlier today, IDF and Israel Border Police forces were dispatched to an area adjacent to Khirbet Abu Falah, following a report of a violent confrontation. Foreign media personnel were present at the scene and a female journalist was injured during the confrontation. All details of the incident will be examined. Upon arriving to the scene, the forces acted to disperse the confrontation using riot dispersal means. At another location where the confrontation took place, IDF soldiers initially fired warning shots into the air and then fired toward a suspect who ran toward them, carrying a sharp object and posed a threat to them. The confrontation was dispersed. Israeli Police forces and forensic investigators from the Judea and Samaria District will enter the area with IDF security to collect findings and evidence, as well as take testimonies. Violence against innocent civilians is a grave and intolerable phenomenon that requires a coordinated, multi-agency response. The IDF will work together with the relevant authorities to eradicate this phenomenon. The IDF strongly condemns this incident. Attempts to incite friction between populations undermine security in the area.

October 16, 1859 John Brown and 21 other men attempted to raid the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry and start a slave insurrection. 10 died in the effort, 7 were captured and hanged, and only 5 escaped. Brown knew that slavery would only end with violence. He was correct.

In 1997, 26-year-old Curtis Flowers was wrongfully convicted of murder. Six trials — deliberated by nearly all white juries — four death sentences, and 23 years in prison, all for a crime Curtis never committed. He was eventually exonerated in 2020, and remained a powerful voice against racial bias in the criminal legal system. Curtis passed away last week at his home in Mississippi. His story serves as a stark reminder that the fight for criminal and racial justice reform remains as urgent as ever. Read more about his story. bit.ly/4dM28Y1

Today in dystopia, the military-industrial complex is reassuring investors that the wars will indeed be endless.
Asked about the Iran War's effect on defense stocks, Lockheed Martin CEO says: "Investors need to know and understand that this demand is not fleeting — it's permanent."

If this were Iran, or another "enemy" country, it would be the top story in every news outlet on the planet.
#Breaking: European diplomats, including French and Polish representatives, who went to the West Bank to observe the olive harvest, have been violently assaulted by Israeli settlers.

“Let me die,” American photojournalist Heidi Levine repeats to journalists Jasper Nathaniel as they try to outrun masked Israeli settlers who attacked her on Friday while she covered the olive harvest in the West Bank village of Abu Falah, near Ramallah. Around 80 settlers attacked Palestinian olive harvesters in the village, AP reported. The Palestinian Red Crescent said it treated six people injured in two attacks in Abu Falah. Levine, a freelancer for the Washington Post, told the Committee to Protect Journalists that the settlers knocked her down and kicked her for at least 10 minutes, even after she identified herself as an American journalist. They stole her camera, phone and bag. She was eventually taken to a hospital in Ramallah. "The IDF provided cover, with tear gas and machine guns, while the settlers beat" Levine "nearly to death," Nathaniel wrote, adding that soldiers then shot a Palestinian bystander and aimed their guns at and shoved paramedics trying to treat him. AP photos and circulating videos show Israeli soldiers standing over a wounded Palestinian man after they shot him. Andrey X, an activist also at the scene, said a Palestinian man "saved our lives from the settler-terrorists who attacked the olive harvesters and journalists” armed only with a slingshot.
To be clear, the only reason I was able to reach Heidi was because young Palestinians provided cover with rocks against machine-gun- and tear-gas-wielding settlers and soldiers. It’s those kids, not the settler terrorists, who the IDF was hunting after the attack.

The newly launched Gaza Genocide Center has released its first survivor testimony, with English subtitles. Somaia El-Swerki was 19 when an Israeli airstrike destroyed her family home in Gaza City on December 2, 2023. She survived 21 days trapped beneath the rubble. Her mother died beside her on the seventh day.
"Mama held on for seven days before she died." Somaia lay beside her mother beneath the rubble of their home in Gaza City for three weeks, and lived to tell it. Our first testimony from Gaza, now with English subtitles.

Virtually every university across North Carolina has lost its early voting site. This is a coordinated assault on youth & minority turnout.
North Carolina A&T students marched an hour each way to vote on the first day of early voting after their campus polling site was removed by the Guilford County Elections Board. Proud 👏🏽

Albanian revolutionaries are removing Israeli-Emirati “smart” surveillance cameras from the streets of Tirana, installed by Israel’s Mossad to spy on Albanians on behalf of Edi Rama's regime. Albanians are dismantling Edi Rama’s “Zionist Big Brother” surveillance state.

A good friend of mine, @iElijahManley (ran for Congress against carpet bagger Wasserman Schultz) was just arrested and given a $40,000 bond for a social media post he made back in August. Two women who are falsely claiming to be victims of the post (which had nothing to do with either of them) are major fundraisers for the Broward SA office. These womens' social media posts are almost exclusively pro-Israel propaganda. Elijah passionately spoke up against Israel throughout his campaign.

🚨Gaza’s History Under Israeli Attack: Preserving Palestine’s Heritage Amid the Ruins Israel’s bombardment of Gaza has damaged or destroyed museums, archaeological sites and centuries-old landmarks, devastating a cultural heritage that spans thousands of years. Palestinians warn that the destruction threatens to erase their history and identity. Yet, amid the ruins, archaeologists and young volunteers are working tirelessly to salvage what remains and preserve Palestine’s heritage for future generations.

“As a descendant of a Palestinian who was forcibly displaced, I should have that right.” Sam Husseini, a Palestinian-American Christian running for Congress in Maryland’s 4th District, spoke to Fox News about his vision for a single democratic state with equal rights for Palestinians and Israelis and the right of people living under occupation to armed resistance. The longtime independent journalist told Fox that displaced Palestinians and their descendants should have the right to return to their homes or receive compensation. Husseini said he has considered “1948” as a possible name for the proposed future state with a political system based on one person, one vote.
Fox showed up at the Palestine protest yesterday. I talked to them about much including one state. Hilarious communist flag b-roll.

there's no "unwillingness to crack down on violence", settler violence is an essential part of colonization and expansion and has been for 300+ yrs. It goes like this: Ostensively independent settlers act as vanguard of land left, the formal govt gets to deny responsibility (1/2)
With Israel’s election two weeks away, Lesley Stahl travels to the West Bank, where militant Israeli settlers have carried out violent attacks against the Palestinians, often with impunity. The Israeli government is showing an unwillingness to crack down on the violence. Tonight on 60 Minutes.
