As time goes by, more war secrets will come out of that public but not so public war. One day someone will piece them together and that will make a fascinating read.

The Grayzone:

Iranian missiles in June hit a building sitting on the secretive 'Site 81' command & control center in Tel Aviv, built by US Army Corps of Engineers

This strike was subject to extreme censorship inside Israel

Google has also censored the area by blurring it & removing Street View

There is so much any human can take before they break. My heart breaks for all the suffering the entire region is has been living for decades with no end in sight. The latest example but of course not limited to, is from Gaza 👇😢💔

An interesting read in particular foe those those who believe parties who want to govern differ in policies when it comes to big money industries.

Read this sorry story about how an academic was axed from conference panels because he was deemed too interesting.

He was told no one on the panel was expected to air difficult opinions in front of MPs that could damage the oil and gas sector

While the Earth’s upper crust recovers quickly from seismic activity, new research finds the mid-crust recovers much more slowly, if at all.

Last night in Marseille, Centre researcher Paul Max Morin helped launch Le Coffre-Fort de l’Empire — an information plaque inside UNIQLO revealing the building’s colonial past as a former bank funding the conquest of Algeria.

Not a popular perspective but government agents don't kidnap, they detain. Their action maybe lawful or unlawful and I think that is what we should focus on; compliance with the law.

Just as the French Revolution ignited the flames of liberty against tyranny, today’s red state fascism seeks to snuff out liberal ideals. “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” must guide us now more than ever. #blueresistance

Ireland pledges millions more for Gaza amid ceasefire www.irishpost.com/news/ireland...
The announcement follows a ceasefire agreement that saw the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian detainees, bringing renewed hopes for lasting peace along the Gaza strip. #Occupy #Ireland #Palestine

Social Experiment @politcsoutlook.bsky.social · 1d

Are you as confused as I am why so many states signed the ceasefire agreement in Gaza although they are not party to the hostilities? Or maybe they signed something completely different and they haven't tell us about yet?

They closed Reem’s account…
and they also shut down our shared account — without any reason.
Those pages were our only way to stay alive, to speak, to ask for help,
to tell the world that we still exist despite everything.
Now, they’ve silenced us.
They’ve shut the last window we had to the world.

Antifascism is so often exactly this. Attacking the explicit fascists, while fighting off the repressive arm of the state at our rearguard— as the Basque comrades so effectively did today in Vitoria against Spanish falangist fascists.
