Bulletins and News Discussion from September 8th to September 14th, 2025 - Reconciliation, Resets, and Really Cool Parades
(hexbear.net)
Analysis and images of the parades is all over the internet and in the last megathread; for the China-India stuff I recommend this article, as well as the Tricontinental in general.
Image is from @xiaohongshu@hexbear.net's comment in the last megathread.
Last week was the 80th anniversary of the end of World War 2, and on such an occasion, China put on quite an impressive military parade, especially in comparison to the rather drab and corporate parade that the USA recently had. In attendance were many world leaders, including Putin, Kim Jong Un, and a very happy-looking Lukashenko.
This took place shortly after the SCO summit in Tianjin, in which Modi was notably in attendance. That one of the world's most powerful fascists was in attendance in China near the anniversary of the World Antifascist War is obviously pretty ironic. Regardless, the mood was still relatively positive; for example, Xi announced the acceleration of the creation of the SCO development bank, and Indian-Chinese relations are once again in the thaw cycle of their long-term cyclical pattern, with direct flights resumed and links expanded. The fact that there is this much projected optimism from China about a Global South which is being increasingly tariffed, infiltrated, starved, looted, bombed, invaded, and massacred in the hundreds of thousands by rabid imperialist dogs is perhaps a little tone-deaf, but buoying up the SCO is better than doing nothing at all, I suppose.
Any astute Geopolitics Understander can tell you that this is certainly not India joining the side of the Global South, but instead a move somewhat forced upon them as they seek to balance both sides for their own gain. As Trump amps up pressure on India via tariffs, it is natural that India would seek leverage, and there is much that India gains: industrial development, increased intra-regional trade, and scientific knowledge from a China which has, in numerous fields, now pulled ahead of the USA. India is also facing numerous internal crises, ranging from run-of-the-mill capitalist incompetence and corruption, to worsening conditions for farmers, to the ravaging impacts of climate change, and increasing their links with China is a way to vent off a little of that pressure and protect Modi's regime.

Israel's Genocide of Palestine
Sources on the fighting in Palestine against the temporary Zionist entity. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:

English-language twitter account that collates news.
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon. - Telegram is @IbnRiad.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict
Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Sources:
Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
Simplicius, who publishes on Substack. Like others, his political analysis should be soundly ignored, but his knowledge of weaponry and military strategy is generally quite good.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists' side.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.
Pro-Russian Telegram Channels:
Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.
https://t.me/aleksandr_skif ~ DPR's former Defense Minister and Colonel in the DPR's forces. Russian language.
https://t.me/Slavyangrad ~ A few different pro-Russian people gather frequent content for this channel (~100 posts per day), some socialist, but all socially reactionary. If you can only tolerate using one Russian telegram channel, I would recommend this one.
https://t.me/s/levigodman ~ Does daily update posts.
https://t.me/patricklancasternewstoday ~ Patrick Lancaster's telegram channel.
https://t.me/gonzowarr ~ A big Russian commentator.
https://t.me/rybar ~ One of, if not the, biggest Russian telegram channels focussing on the war out there. Actually quite balanced, maybe even pessimistic about Russia. Produces interesting and useful maps.
https://t.me/epoddubny ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/boris_rozhin ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/mod_russia_en ~ Russian Ministry of Defense. Does daily, if rather bland updates on the number of Ukrainians killed, etc. The figures appear to be approximately accurate; if you want, reduce all numbers by 25% as a 'propaganda tax', if you don't believe them. Does not cover everything, for obvious reasons, and virtually never details Russian losses.
https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses ~ Pro-Russian, documents abuses that Ukraine commits.
Pro-Ukraine Telegram Channels:
Almost every Western media outlet.
https://discord.gg/projectowl ~ Pro-Ukrainian OSINT Discord.
https://t.me/ice_inii ~ Alleged Ukrainian account with a rather cynical take on the entire thing.
Looks like a flare of some sort. Either dropped by a drone or from somewhere else. The pictures of the damage look quite minor. More of a scare tactic than anything else if done by Israel, trying to scare them from going to Gaza.
The implication obviously being “next time it’s getting sunk,” right?
The new Epstein files release by the House Oversight Committee is wild.
It contains 4 documents, labeled #1, #2, #4, #8.
Document #1 is Epstein's 50th birthday book. It has 248 pages. Women and children in photos are censored by a black bar. It contains some pretty clear references to child abuse. It contains letters from Trump, Bill Clinton, Alan Dershowitz.
Document #2 is Epstein's last will and testament.
Document #4 is Epstein's 2007 non-prosecution agreement.
Document #8 is Epstein's address/phone book. It is labeled as "Epstein's Black Book" in the subpoena. It looks to be uncensored. Trump's name is circled in the book. Ehud Barak is circled. Alan Dershowitz is circled. A few other names as well.
The birthday book is definitely a new release. I am unsure if the other documents were already publicly available.
trueanon posted some notable pages from the book.
https://xcancel.com/TrueAnonPod/status/1965241965257363815#m (nsfw)
So where are documents #3, #5, #6, & #7 
?
The documents are numbered according to the subpoena request linked on the same page. The subpoena is made by the House Oversight Committee. The subpoena says that Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn of the Epstein Estate must provide the documents. The subpoena has 16 document requests. I'm not sure if the other requests were provided. You can see the list below.
e/// The implied reason that the Epstein Estate was subpoenaed by Democrats is that the FBI and other feds were refusing to release documents. Feds are probably withholding other documents.
update on previous comment. Things are also heating up in Nepal.
Death toll from yesterday's protest has risen to 19.
Home minister and Agriculture Minister has resigned. The protester has entered Prime Minister KP oli's residence, former PM and Maoist leader Prachanda and looks like the residence of another former PM and president of Nepali Congress Sher Bahadur Deuba is also targeted. The residence of Information Minister has also been burned down.
Everyone wants the current prime minister to step down.
updates :
- More ministers and government building has been targeted (Residence of Foreign Minister Arju Rana + a school where she is a chairperson, Former Minister of Home Affairs, Nepali Congress (NC) party office, CPN-UML party office, etc)
-
The current government formed with the coalition between Nepali Congress (NC) and Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML) is in risk of collapse
-
Ministerial Quarters is being evacuated using helicopters.
-
There is a call to target the only international airport in Kathmandu to prevent politicians from fleeing.
-
The Nepali Congress general secretaries have called on PM Oli to resign and urged Nepali Congress President Deuba to recall all ministers from the Oli government. The two leaders warned that if Deuba does not heed their request, they will be forced to take action through other means to make a decision (related to number 2)
-
Residence of President, current and two former Prime Minister has been burned and other politicians from NC and CPN-ULM party has also been targeted.
-
Can hear gun fire and tear gas being used outside. fucking hell using tear gas in place surrounded by homes now.
-
The airport is closed
-
The only remaining Gautam Buddha International airport is also closed.
-
Health Minister had resigned
-
People have entered the Parliament building, which the govt tried to prevent yesterday leading to 16 death.
-
The capital city Kathmandu seems to be out of control with protesters burning the gate of Singh Durbar, which include House of Representative and National Assembly
-
Army are stationed inside Singh Durbar and have given warning shots after protesters breaches the gate. Several news pages have requested the people to not enter and damage the offices since they contain important documents and data.
-
THE PRIME MINISTER HAS RESIGNED. okay now what, worst case Monarchist take power, best case? re-election? The Rastriya Swatantra Party? i guess left has died today in Nepal. People have managed to kick out most politicians and their hope lies in Balen Shah
-
The end?
i guess there are hours when years happen. Our comrade in western hemisphere are certainly waking up in a surprise.
let it be known today Nepal had one voice "KP Chor, Desh Chod" - (KP oli is a thieve! KP oli leave country) and made it true. Gather enough Nepali together in a crowd, they would start chanting that. It was four months ago when i noticed that phenomenon. KP Oli and other ruling elite really thought nothing could have shaken his power. Hell, even i thought nothing much can be done.
I don't know what the future held, but tonight Nepal celebrates!
Parliament has been burned to the ground
Smart of them to resign quickly over being forced to flee.
The protests have no organization. If the establishment flees, reactionaries would've likely taken over. They still might, given reelections, but the future opposition will have more leverage.
The only remaining group that want power seemed to be monarchist. But that because people wanted change and Royals were different than current system. Now that things have changed, so can't say for sure how popular they will be.
There is still many communist parties but they are all in local level and didnt have enough support like the big three to enter national level. The national level was a game between just three parties with recent rise in independent candidates over affiliated-candidates since people were tired of same dance. Now the two biggest parties are wiped out with the third one Maoist being not welcomed any more.
Maoist being not welcomed any more.
Why is that? It's not so long aho that a maoist uprising defeated the absolute monarchy in Nepal. What has become of them?
And do you also know about the differences between CPN (UML) en the maoists?
