It looks like Labour party is fixing the hearing against Palestine Action

https://xcancel.com/Jonathan_K_Cook/status/1993417828091711694

Review judge pulled from Palestine Action hearing at last hour, in patent stitch-up:

The High Court judge who granted a legal challenge to the government’s decision to proscribe Palestine Action – the first time in British history a civil-disobedience organisation has been declared a terrorist group, one now treated as on a par with al-Qaeda – has been removed at the last minute.

The judicial review hearing is due to start tomorrow without Justice Martin Chamberlain. He will be replaced with a panel of three judges.

Justice Chamberlain did not suffer any timetabling conflicts. The Justice Ministry declined to offer any explanation for such a highly irregular change.

In 2006, two academics, John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt, wrote a paper called “The Israel Lobby,” which argued that a loose group of Israel supporters used their connections and financial resources to tilt US foreign policy in Israel’s direction.

The savage response to the paper was like nothing academia had ever seen. We can now report that Jeffrey Epstein helped coordinate the counterattack with Alan Dershowitz, while Larry Summers was Harvard president. And Les Wexner was one of the largest donors to the Kennedy School, if not the largest. Epstein controlled Wexner’s money.

In other words, a loose group of powerful supporters of Israel used their financial resources and connections behind the scenes to destroy the reputations of two academics who wrote a paper arguing that a loose group of Israel supporters was using their connections and financial resources to shape American foreign policy.

The Times: [UK] Army halts use of Ajax fighting vehicles after 31 soldiers fall ill

The British Army has been forced to stop the use of its Ajax armoured fighting vehicle after dozens of soldiers fell ill due to vibration and hearing problems, The Times can reveal.

Soldiers emerged from the £10 million vehicles vomiting while others were said to be shaking so violently they could not control their bodies after war games on Salisbury Plain, sources said. Others had weakness in their legs.

The absolute state of the Bri’ish military.

Pete Hegseth has Ordered a Military Strike on a Surviors of a Previously Bombed Vessal , apperently with the verbal order “kill them All” … Meaning ordering Military Strikes on Helpless survivors. (washington Post) This is a clear Violation of the Hague convention :“it is especially forbidden […] to declare that no quarter will be given” Article 23 (D).

but even that would first need a “War” to be present , so he simply Ordered the Murder of Survivors (kill them all) . Making the hole commandchain liable for “well not even war crimes / but Murder” and explaining this Democrat video . Crime is Punishable by Death in US Law .

JAG (i know that from this Series) , > UNANIMOUSLY considers both the giving and the execution of these orders constitute war crimes, murder, or both.

(proably connected with the Mark Kelly thing)

The main suspect of the Nord-Stream pipeline explosion has been extradited to Germany (German source)

What makes this particularly spicy is that the suspect’s Italian attorney is already arguing that his defendant was part of the Ukrainian military and was “just following orders” (good bit to do in Germany) when they blew up the pipelines. Germany seems like it might actually take this kind of seriously, so maybe this will be when the EU starts completely turning on Ukraine now that the war is basically over?

The environmental damage the US will cause should they bomb or invade Venezuela isn’t talked about enough. I used to doubt we’d get 4.5+ degrees by the end of the century but the US and their brainless Latin American lackeys seem determined to make it happen.

We are the generation that will see terrible cruelty and death as the empire crumbles. But we will be the generation that plants the seeds of revolution that will come from the despair.

I fear for Venezuela, I fear for Colombia.

I fear for Palestine.

But if death comes for me, I will gladly accept it if it moves the world a millimeter closer to revolution.

Death to America, Death to Israel.

Average US news outlet:

Anyways, lets see how it went last time:

This fire in Hong Kong is absolutely horrific. 36 confirmed dead so far and 270+ injured. Multiple buildings went up after bamboo scaffolding caught fire and windy conditions transferred the fire to other buildings with bamboo scaffolding too.

It’s like Grenfell in London but multiple buildings, the fire travelling on the outside of the building. China needs to ban bamboo scaffolding.

Russia has deployed the Berserker corps

Warning this is not fun viewing:

This video of the IDF just straight up assassinating two Palestinians who are just peacefully surrendering is seriously bleak. First the kicking, then they tell them to go back in and kill them, then the drop they fucking garage door on top of them. Just endlessly evil.

The death toll of the fires in the Hong Kong Tai Po apartment blocks has now reached 83 as of writing this comment.

This now puts the Tai Po apartments fire as deadlier than the infamous 2017 Grenfell Tower fire in the UK, which claimed the lives of 72. For reference, the Grenfell Tower fire was considered the worst UK residential fire since the Blitz of World War II.

Three people have already been arrested for manslaughter over the Tai Po fire – two directors and a consultant of the contractor behind the apartment renovations. They allegedly used non-compliant materials in scaffolding nets and sealed windows with styrofoam, which sparked the tragedy as the highly flammable substances caused the fire to spread rapidly. Moreover, the apartment renovation site was inspected by the Labour Department 16 times since July last year, as recently as November 20 and reminded the contractor the previous week of the need to implement appropriate fire safety measures.

President Xi Jinping expressed his condolences on Wednesday evening and called for “all-out efforts” to minimise casualties and losses. After visiting the injured in hospital early on Thursday, HK chief executive John Lee Ka-chiu vowed to investigate the fire and the scaffolding. He also ordered inspections of all public housing estates undergoing major renovations and announced a HK$300 million fund to assist the victims, including a cash handout of HK$10,000 for each household. Development chief Bernadette Linn Hon-ho met with construction industry representatives to discuss switching from bamboo to metal scaffolding. Authorities are considering a road map to transition to using metal “as quickly as possible” she says, adding industry players are understanding and supportive.

I just got a copy of Seth harp’s book “The Fort Bragg Cartel” and fuck me if it isn’t harrowing. There have been a number of chapo episodes about the antisocial behaviour and attitudes of delta force and if anything the dry boys paint a generous interpretation of the “operator” types. Based on the description of horrible, sociopathic crimes depicted in the first couple chapters of the book, the delta force scene sounds like a grotesque parody of Fear in Loathing in Las Vegas with brutal, instinctive violence replacing any search for the American dream. I’ll share a more detailed review once finished.
