Author Benjamin Moser on Israel's election: "There were also elections in apartheid South Africa, there were elections in French Algeria, there were even elections in the Confederate States of America... We're talking about really who's going to run the concentration camps."

Israel is “setting a permanent architecture of control made out of all the rubble and ruins of Palestinian homes” in Gaza, says @weizman_eyal, director of @ForensicArchi. “The shuffling of that rubble is destroying evidence for the genocide.”

Draft officers in Vinnytsia forcibly dragged a man out of his car and shoved him into their van.
He’s going to be a soldier now.
Whether he wants to or not.

Serbia's Student List supporters are now telling me N1 and Nova S are irrelevant media platforms in Serbia's information space (despite many of them following/quoting/sharing their content).
However they are actually among the top 3: reutersinstitute.politics.ox…
The fact the CIA/State Department set them up in 2013-2014 and they've become so dominant in Serbia's information space - only makes it more obvious how so many people became infected with "Student List" fever.
Nothing is "spontaneous" or "organic." The US wielded the most powerful media outlets in Serbia's information space - and convinced everyone to go out into the streets.

Western media and Student List supporters themselves cite the central role of N1/Nova S in building up and promoting the Student List movement.
US NED-funded BIRN's Media Ownership Monitor Serbia admitted United Group (N1, Nova S) were acquired and built up by former US Amb. to Serbia Cameron Munter and former CIA director and chairman at KKR David Petraeus starting in 2013-2014 specifically to serve as opposition media in Serbia.

This seems more like a hostage video than a resignation video......
Is @Lagarde alright? @BotengaM and others, please investigate.
I have just informed my colleagues that I will step down as @ECB President on 7 February 2027.
It has been a source of great pride to serve this institution.
I thank all of those who have supported me on this journey over the past seven years.

On October 14, 2016, Maksym Kozytskyi, the head of the Lviv Regional State Administration, is positively ecstatic about a march honoring UPA in Lviv, where the crowd chants, “Bandera and Shukhevych are heroes of Ukraine!”
Fast-forward to Oct. 28.
Przemyśl, Lublin and other Polish cities are severing ties with Lviv over its decision to declare 2027 the Year of the UPA and Shukhevych.
Suddenly, Kozytskyi discovers a fascinating technicality: the resolution, you see, “hasn't been signed.”
Ah, the miracles that loom on the horizon when money threatens to disappear! Nothing cures a patriotic erection quite like the prospect of losing Polish funding.
A truly breathtaking recovery.
And they say Lviv is crawling with Banderites. Nonsense. It's crawling with opportunists whose principles are as flexible as their funding arrangements.
As for the whole “Glory to Ukraine!” enterprise, apparently its real purpose is to keep the front lines supplied with fresh meat for the grinder.
Patriotism is a wonderful business model. The politicians collect the dividends. Someone else's sons pay in blood.

My comments on the triumph of Arab science and their contribution to preserving Aristotle, Ptolemy, Euclid, Pythagoras, Archimedes, during the dark ages, until it transitioned 500 years later to Copernicus, Galileo, Tycho Brah, Kepler, Vesalius, da Vinci, Gilbert. Without the great centers of Arab science in Baghdad, Cordoba, Cairo, all would have been lost. There would be no SpaceX, Anthropic, Meta, or at least not for another 500 years. You can take that to the bank

Il presidente israeliano Herzog, interpellato sulle accuse di Netanyahu secondo cui i partiti palestinesi avrebbero “rubato” le elezioni: «Questo è un momento delicato, quindi vorrei essere chiaro: Le prove e le accuse devono essere oggetto di un’indagine approfondita, e i responsabili devono essere arrestati e chiamati a rispondere con tutto il rigore della legge».
Le prove, per la cronaca, la polizia israeliana dice di non averle trovate. Ma il messaggio arriva lo stesso: se i cittadini palestinesi israeliani votano in massa, il problema NON è chi ha perso. È chi si è permesso di votare.
“Unica democrazia” del Medio Oriente. Basta che votino quelli di razza superiore.

This leads off an excellent Bloomberg story about Megaspeed, and I think it understates the sheer scale of its operation to ship GPUs to china. Megaspeed is an obvious front for a Chinese company running NVIDIA GPUs

🔴 Dozens of sick and wounded Palestinians have died waiting for medical treatment abroad as Israel repeatedly closes crossings and delays evacuations from Gaza, the Palestinian Health Ministry said Thursday. More than 21,000 patients remain stranded.
➤ The ministry reported that 21,468 patients remain on waiting lists, including 6,430 priority cases, while just 3,056 have been evacuated since February when Israel began allowing some patients to leave Gaza. 2,614 have left through Rafah and 442 through the Kerem Shalom crossing.
➤ The ministry said Israel is deliberately slowing evacuation procedures and repeatedly closing crossings, causing severe deterioration in the health of thousands of patients and leaving dozens to die while awaiting permission to leave.
➤ It called for the immediate reopening of Rafah for medical evacuations, the removal of administrative restrictions and a substantial increase in the number of patients permitted to leave each day.
🇵🇸 Mohammed has been waiting for more than a year for medical evacuation from Gaza despite being approved for treatment abroad, after being shot and paralyzed by Israeli forces while trying to access aid. He urgently needs reconstructive urological surgery, and is losing hope, according to a video report shared by his caregivers.
He is one of about 21,000 patients awaiting treatment abroad, including 5,600 children, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. More than 2,000 have died waiting since October 2023.
Israel blocked medical evacuations for nearly three weeks this month before letting 50 patients out on Oct. 19 and 20. Even before that closure, the ministry says, Israel allowed out about 12 patients a day, a quarter of the 50 a day agreed under the ceasefire.
President Trump's Gaza plan, now overseen by his Board of Peace, promised that Palestinians who wish to leave Gaza would be "free to do so and free to return." It remains stalled as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refuses to act and ratchets up the cruelty before Tuesday's election.

"JD Vance is a smart person but he has no soul, and has no charisma, so his thing is just to suck up to the strongest person in the room."
Abdul El-Sayed: “We are being actively bullied by the dumbest people in the room. Donald Trump is an idiot. He has one genius which is getting attention. Because his dad never gave him enough, because he was a nepo baby, he craved attention and used the bullying tactics to get it. But the man is an idiot. Just a fool”

This man majored in political science at Ohio State, graduated from Yale Law School, was a U.S. Senator, and is now the Vice President.
JD Vance on ranked choice voting: "I don't understand it. It seems to me that you have an election, the person who wins the most votes should win. That seems to be not what happens with ranked choice voting. The fact that it's so confusing to a person who pays pretty close attention to politics I think suggests we should do our elections in, like, the normal way."
Or, say hello to the next wave of racist Israeli voters…
A voter was interviewed on Israeli news, along with two first-time voters, about what led them to choose who to vote for. One of them said that his main issue was that "I don't want there to be Arabs here in the country." The reporter nodded enthusiastically. Say hello to the next generation of Israeli voter.
