Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

There's way too much going on right now for me to really focus on any one country this week. The aftermath of the fall of the Nepal government has, somewhat surprisingly, reverberated around the world, and not only in countries that are enemies to the West as you'd expect; for example, Morocco's government battle fiercely with Egypt's and Jordan's to be first in line to lick the dogshit off the boots of Zionists, and yet Morocco is currently embroiled in a large protest wave based primarily around a youth unemployment crisis (though their population is also remarkably pro-Palestinian, which generates additional friction). We're also seeing similar protests in Madagascar, Peru, and Paraguay, and perhaps more will come. I'm personally fairly doubtful in the potential for meaningful economic results from these protests (the current imperialist system seems too deeply embedded for a movement that isn't explicitly communist and anti-imperialist to alter conditions), but it is quite possible for new political results at least.

Outside of the developing world, it appears that the unpopularity of western leaders, such as in the UK, France, and Italy, is creating new levels of unrest. In Britain, the political system has become so utterly moribund that even the artificial democracy of a two-party system (more-or-less; the Lib Dems do exist I suppose) no longer suffices, with both Conservatives and Labour gradually sinking. The Reform party appears like it may become the new standard-bearer of the capitalists and petit-bourgeois - that is, the historical wellspring of fascism - and the Left Party (whatever name they eventually choose) may or may not rise to meet the occasion. In France, they're on their fifth Prime Minister in two years, after Lecornu lasted about a month, attempting the liberal classic: promising change, and then appointing the exact same people who have ruled for the last few decades. And pro-Palestinian protests and general strikes have erupted in Italy, in defiance of their rightwing government under Meloni.

While there's plenty of other events (e.g. continuing aggression against Venezuela that might soon erupt into a war) it would be remise of me not to mention the very much ongoing events vis-a-vis Palestine and a potential peace deal there, seemingly supported to some degree by Trump. It could be legitimate, and it could be some big act (very likely the latter, IMO). Both Trump and Netanyahu seem to believe that they're very talented political masterminds, producing manoeuvres and feints that would make Machiavelli blush. Nothing could be further from the truth, and I trust the militant organizations inside Palestine to outplay these American failsons. Hamas and similar groups are not nearly as gullible as the Iranian reformist faction - though few people are!

Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.

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.

Mamdani officially called Diaz-Canel and Maduro "dictators" and said "their administrations have stifled free and fair elections, imprisoned political opponents, and suppressed a free and fair press". This is as Trump is openly calling for airstrikes against Venezuela and regime throw against Maduro. What a fucking snake.

I can't say I'm surprised that an amerikkkan "democratic socialist" reveals himself to be just another social fascist in disguise, but the fact that he's saying these things right when the empire is trying to manufacture consent for war, means he will have blood on his hands before he's even elected.

The fact that this particular repulsive freak "country" can commit genocide for two years and be openly protected by FIFA while the Russians were expelled the femtosecond they stepped over the Ukrainian border is so unspeakably disgusting that I quite literally cannot find the words to describe it here.

Death to "Israel". Death to FIFA. Death to the European Union.

Mamdani, darling of the "American Left", continues to stake out his pro-war-criminal position. This time clarifying that he believes Maduro and Diaz-Canel are "dictators", just in time for his government to invade Venezuela.

Sorry for contaminating the news mega with this. I just think it's internationally relevant to drive home once again how Americans are not to be trusted, especially because of the build-up to action in Venezuela. I can already see the trajectory of this man's political career as he sells out more and more the closer he gets to national government.

NYT;

“President Trump has called off efforts to reach a diplomatic agreement with Venezuela, according to U.S. officials, paving the way for a potential military escalation against drug traffickers or the government of Nicolás Maduro.”

This is insane from the NYT;

“Mr. Trump has grown frustrated with Mr. Maduro’s failure to accede to American demands to give up power voluntarily and the continued insistence by Venezuelan officials that they have no part in drug trafficking.”

PM urges students not to join pro-Palestinian protests on 7 October

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has urged students not to join pro-Palestinian protests on Tuesday, the second anniversary of the 7 October Hamas attack on Israel, warning of "rising antisemitism on our streets".

Sir Keir said it was "un-British to have little respect for others" by staging demonstrations on the anniversary, adding protests had been used by some as a "despicable excuse to attack British Jews".

I am neither young nor am I British, but I suspect if there’s one thing British students just love, it’s being tut-tutted by dickhead government geezers.

An occupier got sniped and killed hours before the ceasefire goes into effect. Israel postponed the ceasefire (presumably to kill more women and children)

Hamas has continued hunting collaborators who were given no special treatment in the agreement

The former spokesperson for the occupation army: The militias cooperating with the Israeli army in Gaza (Yasser Abu Shab group's) will not enter Israel, and they must face their fate alone; the Israeli army did not force anyone to fight the movement (Hamas), and they must bear the consequences of their decisions.

God damn I'm tearing up now, it's finally over. Big respect for the Qataris for actually sticking around until the end and getting this deal done despite getting stabbed in the back by Israel and the US. May God have mercy on the all martyrs of the last two years. In the end, Israel didn't break the resolve of Gaza's people and they emerged victorious and steadfast from this catastrophe. Shame on the world for the last two years. We Arabs and Muslims don't deserve Gaza's blood.

#BREAKING | Some Israeli media reported that the “serious security incident” in the #Gaza outpost was caused by a soldier mishandling a hand grenade inside the living quarters.

According to preliminary field reports cited by Israeli media, the soldier was “playing with” the grenade when he noticed the safety pin had been removed and threw it between two sleeping comrades.

Both were critically wounded, while the soldier sustained light injuries.

about that factory that blew up https://xcancel.com/ripplebrain/status/1976699650351477152

This company is a manufacturer of TNT for the DoD. They also make anti-personnel mines, shaped charges, and components for artillery shells. Two weeks ago they signed a contract to produce TNT as part of a larger deal to increase production of 155mm artillery shells. This single contract is worth more than every other contract they've ever signed with the DoD, combined.

This is happening in conjunction with a new contract given to Rheinmetall to produce 155mm shells for "an unnamed Eastern European country." The shells AES was contracted to deliver were likely headed to Ukraine. AES appears to be the primary (or perhaps only) US "manufacturer" of TNT for artillery shells. It isn't clear how much of their TNT is imported from overseas. Last year the army awarded a $435m contract to build the first large scale TNT plant on US soil since the 1980s. The new plant isn't due to come online until the end of 2028

deeply unserious country, "oh yeah we actually have to import the materials to make FUCKING ARTILLERY SHELLS" (The US is finally going to make a key explosive at home, and that's good news for the military), no wonder you're having trouble scaling up shell production when you CAN'T EVEN FULLY MANUFACTURE THEM AT HOME, LITERALLY ONE OF THE MOST RESOURCE-RICH COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD agony-shivering

looking forward (in a matt-joker sort of way) to the US starting WW3 and instantaneously every single military industry factory in the country (which is apparently, like, about a dozen) just cartoonishly collapsing

Seeing the children of Gaza celebrate even before the ceasefire is implemented warms the heart, the first joyful news since June. May Allah grant them lasting peace and relief.

What do the newsheads think about the timing of the deal, why did the enemy offer a ceasefire now? With American military buildup in the Middle East, security guarantees for Qatar, Saudi-Pakistani pact, are they going for Iran again? Trump offering ceasefire for Muslim states support against Iran, while offering action against Iran to get Israel on board. Saw this earlier:

Ali Akbar Velayati, advisor to the Iranian Supreme Leader:

The ceasefire in Gaza may be behind the collapse of ceasefires elsewhere.

Is there any substance to this? I know @MarmiteLover123@hexbear.net mentioned the current buildup is different (smaller) in scale/capabilities from the one earlier this year.

West Bank Context

West Bank Erupts Amid Pre-Ceasefire Tension

Israeli forces have launched widespread raids across the occupied West Bank, targeting homes of prisoners set to be released under the Gaza ceasefire deal. In Yatta and Beit Umra, south of Hebron, soldiers warned families against holding celebrations or raising Palestinian flags.

A young man was reportedly shot during the Yatta raids, while troops detained and abused several others, including relatives of prisoner Taleb Mukhammara. Meanwhile, settlers stormed Bedouin areas east of Ramallah, and Israeli forces carried out simultaneous incursions into multiple towns — Na’lin, Silwad, Beit Furik, Deir al-Hatab, and Hawara — seizing vehicles and making arrests.

Despite the crackdown, masked men in Na’lin raised Hamas flags in tribute to Gaza’s resistance, and crowds in multiple areas marched to honor recent martyrs killed by settlers.

@Partisan_en | Martiya

https://t.me/Partisan_EN/111

TLDR: occupiers are scared that the prisoner release could embolden resistance forces in the west bank, so they’re cracking down on any celebrations or public displays of support for the resistance. At the moment they’re raiding the houses of soon-to-be released prisoners’ families in and around Jenin, Tulkarem, Nablus, and Ramallah. The sun has come up and raids are continuing in Tubas

NYT: Venezuela’s Maduro Offered the U.S. His Nation’s Riches to Avoid Conflict

Behind the scenes, however, Venezuela’s senior officials, with Mr. Maduro’s blessing, have offered Washington far-reaching concessions that would essentially eliminate the vestiges of resource nationalism at the core of Mr. Chávez’s movement.

While Mr. Grenell and Venezuelan officials made progress on economic issues, they failed to agree on Mr. Maduro’s political future, according to the people close to the negotiations. Venezuela’s foreign minister, Yván Gil, said in an interview last month that Mr. Maduro would not negotiate his exit.

New York Crimes once again laundering State Department propaganda to create the conditions for war.

I guarantee they fabricated this to create a destabilizing narrative that Maduro wants to sell out Chavismo in exchange for keeping power. They want to weaken Maduro's base of support.

Until 2022 China imported 95% of its helium and most of it was controlled by the US. Of the world's ten largest helium producers, four were American companies, and the remaining six all used American technology.

spoiler

In a nutshell what he's explaining is that with helium the US had an even stronger card to play if China ever used the rare earths card.

This raised huge alarm bells inside China. In an article published in late 2022 in the journal Frontiers in Environmental Science (https://frontiersin.org/journals/environmental-science/articles/10.3389/fenvs.2022.1028471/full), several researchers from PetroChina’s Beijing-based Research Institute of Petroleum Exploration and Development stressed that China would be greatly affected if the US imposed a “stranglehold” blockade on helium exports.

China's research ecosystem also went into overdrive to find solutions to the helium dependency issues, with China's Academy of Sciences awarding its annual 2024 "Outstanding Science and Technology Achievement Prize" to a new helium extraction technology project (https://english.casad.cas.cn/newsroom/nc/202502/t20250228_902739.html) because "these scientific and engineering achievements broke the long-standing monopoly of the US and ensured the security of China's helium resources" (https://guancha.cn/internation/2024_10_15_751771.shtml)

The result: by the end of 2024 China had cut its helium dependence on the US to less than 5% (https://scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3282295/china-quietly-extracting-itself-us-helium-stranglehold-experts-say).

The bravest people on Earth emerge victorious once again. Hundreds of thousands of corpses, mostly women and children, for what? What has the Entity acomplished in this genocide? Killing Sinwar? Poisoning public opinion of their backers permanently? Remember, Israel entered Gaza in 2023 with these four goals: to destroy Hamas, to free the hostages, to ensure Hamas no longer poses a threat to Israel, and to return displaced residents of Northern Israel. The latter is acomplished, with the partial dismantling of Hezbollah, no question. The other three? Not even close. The hostages return, half in body bags. Hamas is stronger than ever, with a now infinite pool of recruits. Global opinion is irrevocably against them in a way never before seen. What was the point of all this death?

The colonial zionist government has ratified the deal to end the aggression on Gaza, after numerous attempts to derail and delay the agreement.

https://t.me/PalestineResist/82592

“The ceasefire starts at 2:00 AM, [aprox. 30 min] and the enemy army withdrawal begins within 24 hours.”

Includes a 72 hour halt to strikes, suspension of aerial surveillance, and immediate entry of aid

The occupiers have been sticking to their demands for releasing Palestinian prisoners and refuse to budge on freeing Marwan Barghouti, Ahmed Sadat, and other high profile prisoners.

The first prisoner release ceremonies humanized the resistance so much that every proposal since has included a “no ceremonies” clause similar to point (g):

Approximately 30 minutes after the ceasefire came into effect, Israel shelled northwest of Nusseirat.

Great news that the bombs will pause and food & hopefully medical attn will be distributed.

Will this international peacekeeping force in Gaza and ceasefire:

  • Allow for an account and investigation of the missing, the dead, or will this be a international cover-up to undercount the amount of murdered?
  • Reintegrate Israel back into the international community and renormalize relations? i.e, pretend this was just another "round of the conflict" like 2021/18, etc were.
  • Allow journalists to broadcast and validate the devastation

I think liberals clearly want to put this to rest and purge it from their mind as another round of Israel "going to far" to perceived threats to its security. It is likely that accountability for the genocide and slaughter will be dismissed, marginalized, and treated as a natural disaster instead of horrific crimes, I hope that at the very least, humanity just won't let this go.

“Gazan journalist Saleh Jafarawi was kidnapped and killed with 7 bullets from point-blank by a collaborator militia of the Daghmash family

The son of Hamas leader Basem Naim was also shot in the head, in critical condition

"The last messages of the martyred journalist Saleh Al-Jaafrawi, after the announcement of the ceasefire:

  • "It will take you a million years to break the will of the Palestinian people, and you will not break it."

  • "I am very upset about the situation and the huge scale of destruction, and about the tens of thousands of martyrs and their families, but we are a people who love life and deserve it, and people have started rebuilding even before the official rebuilding of Gaza started."

  • "Thank you to every person, entity, or nation, thank you to everyone who stood with our people, especially during the war."

For over 700 days, Saleh survived a genocide while carrying out his heroic work, only to be martyred at the hands of collaborators“

Milei throws self-produced rock show amid Espert narco scandal

The president performed Argentine songs with his band before presenting his new book as part of the election campaign.

President Javier Milei used the election campaign to let his rock frontman ambitions run free, performing with his band on Monday night as part of a book launch. The event was his first campaign rally after the resignation of José Luis Espert as La Libertad Avanza’s main deputy candidate, amid a critical moment for the government.

Milei mentioned Espert only in passing and did not speak about the scandal that links the now former candidate to alleged drug trafficker Fred Machado. The only reference he made was a phrase addressing the opposition: “You may have won this round, but not the battle.” Diego Santilli, Milei’s pick to replace Espert on the ballot, attended the concert and the president stepped off the stage to hug him.

Alright fellas you got our man, a narco, but you will not get the rest of us!

Milei sang popular Argentine songs with his musical group, The Liberal Band, at the Movistar Arena stadium in front of 15,000 supporters. After the show, he presented his new book, Building the Miracle.

The president euphorically performed iconic songs like Demoliendo Hoteles (Charly García), Dame Fuego (Sandro), and No Me Arrepiento de Este Amor (Gilda), all in rock version. In between songs, he took a moment to pay homage to U.S. far-right activist Charlie Kirk and ratify his support for Israel, singing the traditional Hebrew chant Hava Nagila.

lmfao. The fact that he drags Charly García's still alive body around the dirt for this shit ass far right rally is insane. Charly always stood against whatever the fuck milei now is. Also lmao at milei thinking he's jewish, he's not and he will never be a Jew.

Milei is a known rock enthusiast. He usually sings his favorite song, La Renga’s Panic Show, during rallies and events. In May 2024, he did a similar show with his band at the Luna Park stadium, also as part of a book launch.

(La Renga absolutely hate this bozo)

Among the attendees also were several members of the government, including Presidency Secretary Karina Milei and Lower House Head Martín Menem, who are accused of taking bribes from pharmaceutical companies in exchange for state contracts. This scandal, along with the Espert allegations, put the government in a very difficult spot amid a delicate economic situation and the upcoming elections. Despite this situation, Milei showed himself in a frenetic state, singing along lawmaker and longtime friend Lilia Lemoine, who joined the band as backup singer.

During the performance, the screens also played a deep-fake Star Wars video of Milei as Luke Skywalker being attacked by The First Order, with ex-President Cristina Kirchner and Buenos Aires Province Governor Axel Kicillof as the antagonists.

jesus fucking christ this is beyond ridiculous.

Attendees sang chants mocking Kirchner using an ankle monitor during her house arrest. They also chanted Kuka tira piedras, which can be translated to “stone-throwing Kuka,” a derogatory term to refer to Kirchnerist supporters. Milei joined in to sing along and encourage them.

Only one missile Xi, it's all I ask for...

And as always: Death to "israel"

Venezuela calls for urgent UN Security Council meeting, citing imminent US attack. Colombian President Gustavo Petro claims that a boat blown up by the US off the coast of Venezuela was carrying Colombian citizens and says that Trump has created a war scenario. The White House denies this and says that Petro should apologize publicly to preserve relations with Washington.

Venezuela claims that the United States has positioned a nuclear submarine off the country's coast. US troops in the Caribbean begin to move. The United States requests authorization to send radars and troops to Maurice Bishop International Airport on the island nation of Grenada, near Venezuela. The Grenadian government says it is evaluating the request based on the “sovereignty of the country.” The Cuban government calls for international mobilization to prevent a US war against Venezuela.

This year's Nobel Peace prize is about ignoring Gaza and openly endorsing any and all upcoming Trump regime crimes in Venezuela.

Venezuela says it expects an armed attack from the United States “very soon,” according to CBS. The New York Times reports that Venezuela offered the United States a share in the exploitation of oil and other mineral resources in negotiations that lasted months. However, the US reportedly rejected the offer. María Corina Machado reportedly offered US$1.5 trillion in contracts over 15 years if there is a political change in Venezuela and she comes to power.

Russian Ambassador to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzya says that the United States, “with its attacks on Venezuelan ships, is seeking regime change in the country.”. Venezuelan military officials say that a U.S. attack on the country could occur in the coming hours. China, Russia, and Brazil expressed opposition to US military movements, but without any sign of practical support. Colombia said it was willing to send military assets and troops, but without taking any concrete action.

So, I see the following possibilities in Venezuela:

  • Trump invades and has to wage a tough and arduous war and then a guerrilla war against the Venezuelan army and patriots (Bolivarian militia and colectivos). Public opinion turns against him and he has to withdraw his troops and pretend he won the war, but that the Venezuelan right-wingers were too "lazy" to do anything "right" (as happened in South Vietnam and Afghanistan).

  • Trump invades, establishes a puppet regime that fights for decades against Bolivarian loyalists and does not have the support of the army or population.

  • Trump kills Maduro with drones and he is replaced by some general or Bolivarian revolutionary, maintaining the status quo.

  • Trump launches a drone attack against some random Venezuelan general and says he has won because he is tough on drug trafficking or whatever. Maduro makes a public show of the general's death and gains some support.

  • Trump launches a drone attack on some fishing boats, gets bored, says he has won, and withdraws from South America.

  • Trump decides to shift his focus from Venezuela to Ecuador or Peru to prevent those puppet regimes from collapsing.

  • Mexico/Brazil convinces Trump and Maduro to sign some diplomatic treaty and the war is somehow avoided.

Danish Jews Criticise Synagogue For Zionist Sympathies: Praises Colonial Violence In Prayers For Occupation Forces

A number of Danish Jews have publicly criticised the Copenhagen synagogue for its weekly prayers supporting the Zionist terrorist organisation "IDF", even as the so-called "state of Israel" carries out a brutal genocide against Palestine.

Read more...

The criticism focuses on a specific prayer containing disturbing violent and extremist language. The prayer directly blesses "the fighters of the Israel [sic] Defense Forces, who stand guard over our land" and expresses the desire for the indigenous Palestinian population, described only as "our enemies," to be "struck down" and led "under our soldiers’ sway."

The critics emphasise that this is an explicit prayer for a modern military power and not an inherent part of Jewish faith, but a political choice made by the synagogue's leadership. They question why a Danish synagogue should be praying for a foreign militant group.

In response, Chief Rabbi Jair Melchior has admitted that the extremist prayers are being recited but claims they are not for the terror group or the Zionist apartheid regime, but for the protection of individuals. He also acknowledges the prayer has been in the synagogue's Hebrew prayer book for 60 years.

This defence has been debunked by critic Zen Donen, who points out that the prayer is unmistakably for soldiers, not civilians, and is the standard prayer of the IDF terror group. She notes that a simple internet search for "Standard prayer for IDF" reveals the chief rabbi's deception.

Denmark's small Jewish community, historically represented by an orthodox organisation that has traditionally harboured Zionist and Jewish supremacist sympathies, now faces significant internal criticism. A growing number of Danish Jews are publicly rejecting this Zionist alignment, condemning the association of their faith and identity with barbarism and genocide.
