this will not end well. the empire is acting like an abusive husband. can't hear. russia told the world its terms for ending the ukie war. the empire keeps speaking of some other idea and says the russians are stalling. if you hear the other, you can effectively communicate. the empire never hears until forced; 

United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio surprised NATO counterparts by telling them on Friday that it will become clear within "weeks" if Russia is "serious" about actually reaching a ceasefire in Ukraine.

The statement was issued at the close of a two-day meeting of the Western military alliance's foreign ministers in Brussels, Belgium. "We will know soon enough, in a matter of weeks, not months, whether Russia is serious about peace or not. I hope they are," Rubio said. But Kiev's fiercest backers worry even this amount of time could see the Russian military's momentum grow even more, and have accused Moscow of strategically stalling the start of serious negotiations........more.........

caitlin speaks of hysteria and gaza;

Opposing the Gaza holocaust doesn’t make you a good person. Failing to oppose the Gaza holocaust makes you a bad person.

It’s not something you do so you can feel good about yourself, it’s something you do so you can live with yourself. Because the alternative is unacceptable to anyone with even the most elementary building blocks of a conscience.

I sometimes see people describing opposition to Israel’s actions in Gaza as “virtue signaling”, but there is nothing virtuous about opposing Israel’s actions in Gaza. “Virtue” is defined as “behavior which demonstrates high moral standards.” That’s not what this is. Opposing an active genocide is just the bare minimum requirement for not being a shitty human being. It’s no more “virtuous” than pulling a drowning toddler out of your pool; it’s just what one does when one is not a complete psychopath.

Those who call it “virtue signaling”, or accuse anti-genocide demonstrators of participating in some kind of fashionable social media trend, are confessing something very revealing about who they are as individuals. They are admitting that they cannot imagine any reason why anyone might take a forceful stand against an ongoing genocide unless it brought them social clout. They are admitting that they are bad people...........more........

 you can take the afghani out of afghanistan but you can't take afghanistan out of the cop;

(Law & Crime) A disgraced Texas police officer cut a deal after facing charges of shooting his wife in the head, and now the ex-cop will spend the next two decades behind bars.

Galib Chowdhury, 33, was arrested in June 2023 by the same police department that employed him as an officer. Shortly after he admitted to what he described as accidentally shooting his wife, Sadaf Iqbal, then 31, the Houston Police Department fired him. An investigation into the incident revealed a troubled history between the two, including texts Chowdhury sent to Iqbal shortly before that fateful night.

According to reporting by KPRC, a local NBC affiliate, Chowdhury was the one who reported the shooting after midnight on June 12, 2023. At the time, he claimed that he was trying to shoot an intruder and Iqbal got in the way. However, KPRC reported that investigators were suspicious about his story; he reportedly didn’t have any physical description of the supposed suspect, nor did he say where they ran. There was also no damage to the home that would indicate a break-in.

Iqbal sustained a gunshot wound to the head that she survived. According to a GoFundMe page set up for her medical expenses, she is still recovering from her injuries. When she was taken to the hospital, she reportedly refused to give a statement to police and stated that the shooting was an accident. Investigators reportedly suspected domestic violence and asked to search her cellphone, to which she consented............more..........

 fourteen months in a zionist prison;

Journalist Ahmad Shaqoura said he lost around 138 pounds while being detained in Israeli prisons for about 14 months.

To the shock of his family, other friends and me, Shaqoura, who weighed 319 pounds before he was arrested on 8 December 2023, returned to the al-Rimal neighborhood this past February with his bones almost sticking out of his body after receiving “not enough food to feed a cat” in prison.

I have known Shaqoura, who is 37 years old, for four years. Our friendship developed while he was a trainer for a course I took on digital media in Gaza City in 2021. He works for the Palestine Today news agency and is married with five children.

He is also a skilled cook and enjoys swimming and playing electronic strategy games, notably PES electronic football.

I met up with Shaqoura in the al-Rimal neighborhood in March. It was noon and we sat outside under the sunshine that he had missed seeing during his 14-month detention. He was one of 369 Palestinian prisoners released by Israel in a February exchange for three Israeli prisoners.

We found no place to sit and talk except on the rubble of the destroyed houses around us.

Initial arrest

Shaqoura told me he had been listening to the news of the Israeli military invasion of Gaza City on the radio in his home when soldiers arrived and demanded via loudspeaker that the residents leave their homes and surrender.

Shaqoura said the men were told to strip down to their underwear.........more.........

 nineteen minutes with cameron macgregor speaking about what he thinks is coming in our near future, or at least some of it. the main reason i post this other than as a subscriber to his posts which i sometimes repost here, is it struck a memory cord. sometime in the recent past i saw a martin armstrong video in which he said that his computer programming saw no election after 2024. the correlation with cameron's video i found worthy of mention;

“Perhaps history is teaching us that today’s popular leaders like Donald Trump and Marine Le Pen are not the people’s last chance. They are the globalist’s last chance.” — Kurt Schlichter

Do you see the pattern? Populist party leaders all over Western Civ getting undone by the law courts — Călin Georgescu in Romania, election cancelled; Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, de-railed by President Lula’s stooge judges (with CIA help); Prime Minister Robert Fico of Slovakia shot-up with five bullets in May last year (survived miraculously); the Alternative-for-Deutschland Party de-platformed by the Scholz-Merz ruling junta; then, this week, Marine Le Pen, leading candidate (by far) for President of France, defenestrated on Mickey Mouse charges in the Paris court. And, of course, since 2015, Mr. Trump, hounded relentlessly, but not yet overthrown, due to sheer pluck and testosterone (the official hated hormone of the Left).

International lawfare is about the last remaining tool in the “Globalist” kit-bag for “color revolution,” which means regime change by underhanded means, election interference being the favorite device. The poster child, of course, was the US CIA / DOD State department regime change operation in Ukraine, 2014, that ousted Russian-leaning elected President Viktor Yanukovych, eventually to the installation of coke-head Volodymyr Zelensky, and ultimately to the Ukraine War that has killed over a million people. These days, astroturf (i.e., fake) street revolution (e.g., Maidan in Kiev 2014) is out; lawfare is in.

By Globalist, let’s just say the broad alliance of the EU, the European Central Bank & friends, the WEF-and-cronies in the global corporatocracy, the US Democratic Party, billionaires such as George Soros and Reid Hoffman, and sundry residual mass-formation world-savors of the crypto-communist-green-bullshit persuasion..........more.......
