the amazing president bigly created a board of peace. what an amazing imagination. his concentration camps will be much more amazing than his german ancestors could have created;

 

 Surviving Palestinians will be herded into fenced “humanitarian shelters” policed by foreign forces under a plan led by US president Donald Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ in the coming weeks, according to an Israeli newspaper.

This will allow the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) to occupy more of Gaza, “deepen[ing] its grip on areas beyond the yellow line”, Israel Hayom reported on Tuesday.

The plan has been widely condemned on social media, with historian Assal Rad posting on X: “They’re building concentration camps.”

Under the pilot programme, unarmed civilians would be channelled to a first zone in Tel al-Sultan, near Rafah, an area that has been systematically razed by the Israeli military.

Palestinians in the camps will be under the control of “multinational forces” – known as the International Stabilisation Force (ISF) – from the Board of Peace as a condition of receiving food and aid.

Board of Peace officials have pledged that no concrete will be brought in for the reconstruction of Gaza in those areas, according to Israel Hayom.

One base for the foreign forces has already been built, and the Board of Peace has “begun identifying sites” for the establishment of large logistics warehouses for regulating the camps..........more........

 be careful. these guys scared a negro and did nothing to earn it beyond being present;

 

 Over the Fourth of July weekend, Washington DC found itself beset by the “Patriot Front”, about 400 guys in matching outfits, with white balaclavas covering their faces and waving flags about.

The (relatively small) gathering walked about a bit, did some marching, waved some flags…and scared the press to death!They’re not real, of course.

The running joke has already become they are barely-disguised federal agents indulging in some rather lame propaganda, even as some members of rightwing defend both their realness and their aims.

Apparently they do community projects and stuff.

Regardless, they are not real. Even if they’re not literally all FBI agents – which we can’t actually rule out – they are a psy-op to some extent or another.

Just look at them. And you can just look at them, do you know why? Because they’re all over the press and social media.

This picture in particular has “gone viral”...........more........

 the ukie war is more war than we've seen in some time;

 

 The NATO summit taking place in Turkey this week was already looking fraught with simmering tensions between Trump and Europe. Now the jamboree in Ankara and the facade of unity are shattered by the dramatic liberation of Konstantinovka by Russian forces.

The Russian military’s victory over the key Ukrainian stronghold paves the way for the complete takeover of the Donbass region. The NATO-backed Kiev regime had dug its best defences at Konstantinovka, some 150 kilometers of elaborate trenches and minefields. Russian forces finally vanquished those defences with an estimated loss of 14,000 Ukrainian troops. This was not just Ukrainian defenses. It was NATO’s, the bloc having weaponized the regime since the coup in 2014 and lending its best technical advisers and engineers on the ground.

Thus, in one fell swoop, the narrative of the Kiev regime and its NATO sponsors has been demolished. In recent months, the Ukrainian puppet president, Vladimir Zelensky, has been busily claiming that his forces were making gains on the battlefield and that Russia was supposedly on the back foot. The European elites and the Western media amplified that narrative. At the G7 summit in France last month, U.S. President Donald Trump had also bought into the fiction that Ukraine was “making progress on the battlefield and there is now a new momentum.”.........more..........

 people here aren't paying much attention to what's happening there; 

 

Christians are facing a growing wave of hostility in Israel and the West Bank — the very lands they revere as the birthplace of their faith. The incidents include assaults, spitting, vandalism, settler violence, and attacks on Christian property.

On Sunday, The Washington Post published a report titled, “As Christians are attacked in Israel, government shows little concern.” It documents the latest incidents and suggests the attackers have grown more brazen under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government.

The data from religious watchdogs confirm the troubling pattern.

The developments land in a politically sensitive moment. For decades, United States leaders have described America and Israel as partners bound by shared biblical inheritance and common “Judeo-Christian” moral values. Washington has backed that language with enormous support. Israel has received more than $300 billion in inflation-adjusted U.S. aid since its founding, and the current aid framework provides $3.8 billion per year through 2028.

For many reasons, however, public support for that “alliance” is rapidly souring. With outlets such as the Post now reporting on the sharply rising anti-Christian hostility in Israel, what remains of that support may erode even faster.

Patriots, as always, must stay vigilant — not only about the facts themselves, but about where the backlash comes from, who amplifies it, and who tries to control it.

 larry johnson joins the gang in wondering what the putin is up to; 

 

I received the following email and question from a friend, a man with extensive experience in the US defense realm, who is a solid analyst. His question is legitimate and I will attempt to answer it. He wrote:

Dear Larry

I read your interesting message. I am at the hospital so I can is only use my phone. Here is my question. If your numbers are correct then how come the Russians seem to be unable to defeat the Ukrainians? They seem to find it difficult to make much territorial progress and now are under heavy pressure in Crimea. I also think they are having major problems defending critical infrastructure including refineries and ports and thus have serious fuel shortages.

In short the Russians are not effectively converting their superiority in supplies into battlefield results and are having difficulty protecting key assets on their territory.

Would be interested in your comments

What does it mean to defeat the Ukrainians? At the outset of the Special Military Operation, the Russians were not intent on conquering Ukraine. In his televised address broadcast at 5:30 AM Moscow time on February 24, 2022, Putin announced the invasion with these words (from the official Kremlin English translation):........more...........

The Oklahoma City Bombing

Paul Craig Roberts

Among the many violent events–Ruby Ridge, Waco, 9/11, for example–that never received a real investigation is the Oklahoma City Bombing. On April 19, 1995, the Murrah Federal Building was blown up resulting in many deaths, injuries, and damage to nearby buildings.  The foul deed was blamed on Timothy McVeigh and a fertilizer bomb in a truck parked on the street in front of the building.  McVeigh’s reason was a bit vague.  It was blamed on anti-government ideology and revenge for the federal massacre of innocents at Waco and Ruby Ridge.

When government investigations result in coverups or agenda-serving narratives, independent investigators, and journalists in bygone days when we had them, investigate.  Many have had a go in books and articles at what has become known as the “Oklahoma City Bombing,” and none that I know of have found the official story believable. 

A year ago, that is 30 years after the fatal event, Margaret Roberts published a book:  Blowback: The Untold Story of the FBI and the Oklahoma City Bombing, an indication that researchers remain unhappy with the official story.  You can read a review of the book here:  https://cdm.press/analysis/2025/08/18/the-oklahoma-city-bombing-a-lesson-in-government-lawlessness/  

All of this is old hat to me because I chronicled the “untold story” years ago in my columns.  I did get the attention of the Department of Justice (sic).  My assistant informed me that a honcho from the Department of Justice had called with the message that I was to lay off the Trentadue matter.  I didn’t, and nothing happened.  Perhaps it was too close in time to my positions as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury and editor at the Wall Street Journal for the DOJ to turn me into some kind of domestic terrorist. I still had friends in the House and Senate..........more...........

US Breaks Ceasefire, Blames Iran

Paul Craig Roberts

It seems to be the case that Netanyahu is succeeding in having Trump break up the peace negotiations with Iran. News reports are poor because they are subservient to war propaganda.  It seems that what happened is that the US, alleging Iranian attacks on three commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, attacked Iranian coastal radar sites, Iranian air defense systems and anti-ship missile capabilities, and a large number of Iranian naval vessels.  Iran responded with attacks on US Persian Gulf bases believed to have hosted the US attacks.  Iran, of course, not the US, was blamed for violating the cease fire.  Trump declared the ceasefire to be over, but said talks would continue.  Will Iran continue the negotiations in the face of Trump’s shattering of the Memorandum of Understanding?

During the first quarter of the 21st century Washington has acted for Israel in behalf of the Zionist agenda of Greater Israel.  It appears that the US will continue to serve as Israel’s military force.........https://paulcraigroberts.org/us-breaks-ceasefire-blames-iran/
