Imagine a terrifying world where we are all ruled by monsters of every stripe. And not hot ones like werewolves, but instead decaying zombies and mummies who are both insensitive to, and actively benefit from the immense suffering they cause on a daily basis. The top echelon of society, filled with profit-seeking, bloodsucking vampires. And the worst of it is that they repeat on a daily basis that what they are doing is not only just, but there is no other possible way to do it.

Pretty spooky, right? What if I told you that this world... was our own?

Happy Halloween!


Friendly reminder: when commenting about a news event, especially something that just happened, please provide a source of some kind. While ideally this would be on nitter or archived, any source is preferable to none at all given.

If you have evidence of Israeli crimes and atrocities that you wish to preserve, there is a thread here in which to do so.


Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:

UNRWA daily-ish reports on Israel's destruction and siege of Gaza and the West Bank.

English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account. Alt here.
English-language twitter account that collates news (and has automated posting when the person running it goes to sleep).
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis.

English-language PalestineResist telegram channel.
More telegram channels here for those interested.

Various sources that are covering the Ukraine conflict are also covering the one in Palestine, like Rybar.


The Country of the Week is Lebanon! Feel free to chime in with books, essays, longform articles, even stories and anecdotes or rants. More detail here.


Here is the map of the Ukraine conflict, courtesy of Wikipedia.

This week's first update is here.

Links and Stuff

The bulletins site is down.

Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists

Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict

Add to the above list if you can.


Resources For Understanding The War


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.

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.


Telegram Channels

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

Pro-Russian

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

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.

    Some more analysis of "Alternative A" - Installing the Palestinian Authority in Gaza

    wall of poorly formatted machine translated text

    Alternative a

    The remaining of the civilian population in Gaza and the importation of the RASH rule

    location and rule

    1. The majority of the population remains homeless.

    2. Israeli military government in the first stage; In the future, the importation of the recipe and placing it as the current official version from operational operations.

    3. Requires fighting in a populated area. It involves the risk of our soldiers and requires a lot of effort.

    4. As long as the intense fighting continues, the risk of opening a second crossing in the north will increase

    5. The ethnic population will oppose the rule of the shape (tried in the past.

    6. Humanitarian responsibility - upon the end of the war is fully imposed on Israel for all that is implied..

    legal legitimation

    1. At first glance, it seems that an alternative is less severe from a humanitarian point of view and therefore easier to fight. widely supported. But in practice, an alternative involving leaving the population could be the worst Most of all, since many Arab deaths are to be expected in the operational phase, as long as the population remains. i>n the cities and will be involved in the fighting.

    2. And the execution will be prolonged, and with it the period of time in which photos of citizens will be published will also be extended. who were injured in the fighting.

    3. Military rule over the Arab population will make it difficult for Israel to maintain broad and leading support. t>o create moisture for the establishment of a government of the royals.

    Creating ideological change

    1. It is necessary to shape a public narrative of the internalization of the failure and moral injustice of the Hamas movement, and replacing the old concept with a moderate Islamic ideology. This is a similar process to the process The deification carried out in Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. Beech Perit, essential will live Dictate the teaching materials of the schools and enforce the use of HESS for an entire generation.

    2. The introduction of the Harshaip will make it very difficult to write study materials that will educate about Israel's legitimacy, for example Now the teaching materials of the Harshaip-- similar to those of Hamas--- teach hatred and hostility to Israel,

    3. It is possible to condition the importation of the recipe on Israeli dictation of the study materials, but it is not possible to make sure that it will actually be carried out, since the sheriff itself is fundamentally hostile to Israel,

    4. It should be appreciated that Harshape will not work firmly to shape a public narrative of understanding failure and injustice the morals of the Hamas movement, and will not work to promote a moderate Islamic ideology.

    5. There is also widespread public support for Hamas. Hershape's leadership is perceived throughout the world. As corrupt and hollow, and it loses to Hamas in terms of public support.

    "Alternative B" is ruled out flatly as an unacceptable victory for the cause of Palestinian Nationhood.
