having lived many years amongst the great unwashed being officially elderly, i've watched racism in many of its varieties including 'anti-semitism, here in the empire. in most forms i was aware of it all was on full decrease since sixty four/five, and lbj's moves. since sain't obama, its been coming back in the headlines but i have seen no remarkable change until the zionists got their genocide on;
The more children Israel kills, the more unpopular it becomes. The more unpopular Israel becomes, the more violently we are throat-fucked with the narrative that “antisemitism” is a major problem in our society.
The UK’s Department for Education has released a 107-page review which asserts that much more needs to be done to protect Jewish students in England from discrimination. In and of itself this sounds perfectly reasonable, until you look at the actual document.
The review, led by Sir David Bell, mentions the word “political” or “geopolitical” no fewer than 125 times. It mentions the word “Israel” or “Israeli” 60 times and the word “Palestine” or “Palestinian” 35 times.
So, as always, it is clear that this isn’t actually about protecting a religious minority from persecution..............more............
the oil scene in some detail provided by larry johnson;
Earlier this month, Aramco’s chief executive, Amin Nasser, assured the markets that “our system is intact” and that Saudi Arabia could restore its full 12 million barrels a day of capacity within days. It is a comforting message, and Washington, European capitals and oil traders have every reason to want to believe it. It is not true.
Karl Miller has just completed a 37-slide operating assessment of Saudi Arabia’s energy system, covering everything from the oil fields to the fuel depots, as of October 20. I have read it closely. It is the most careful accounting of this damage I have seen, and it is careful in a way that should worry anyone counting on Saudi oil this winter. Miller does not count Houthi boasts, social-media videos or plumes of smoke as damage. He separates confirmed hits from claims, and he refuses to add up the design capacity of every facility that was struck as if it were all offline at once. Even with all of that discipline, the picture is grim.
A quarter of Saudi production is gone
Start with the headline number. In February, before the war, Saudi Arabia produced about 10.88 million barrels of crude a day. In September it was still producing 2.51 million barrels a day less, a drop of 23 percent. In August the shortfall was 4.64 million barrels a day, when output sank to about 6.24 million. From March through September, the Kingdom produced more than 800 million fewer barrels than it would have at its February rate. That is roughly eight days of total world oil consumption that never came out of the ground.........more............
what is a nation to do when repeatedly accused of something you ain't interested in. you get interested;
Iranian hard-liners are increasingly calling for Tehran to develop nuclear weapons and abandon a decades-old religious prohibition against such weapons.
They also want to withdraw from an international nonproliferation treaty following devastating U.S. and Israeli military strikes, the Financial Times reported Monday.
The growing demands mark a dramatic shift in Iran’s nuclear debate following the Feb. 28 killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who had long maintained that developing nuclear weapons violated Islamic law.
His successor and son, Mojtaba Khamenei, has not publicly reaffirmed that prohibition, opening the door for hardline politicians, lawmakers and analysts to argue that nuclear weapons are essential to the Islamic Republic’s survival.
“The latest military confrontations showed that achieving nuclear weapons for Iran is not an ambition, but a necessity more important than bread,” Davoud Modarresian, a political activist close to Iranian hard-liners, wrote this month.
According to the FT, some regime insiders believe the war has fundamentally changed attitudes toward acquiring nuclear weapons, particularly as President Donald Trump continues to demand that Tehran dismantle its nuclear program..........more..........
ahhhhhhhhhhhhh. reports of limited quantities of this most expensive aircraft and iran is creating the limits along with the houthis, on a path we created from its way back beginnings;
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says its air defense forces have intercepted and shot down an American MQ-9 Reaper long-endurance drone over the Strait of Hormuz.
The IRGC Public Relations Department, in a statement issued on Tuesday, said the unmanned aircraft was downed over the skies of the strategic waterway by the IRGC Aerospace Force’s advanced, new air defense system, which is operating under the country’s integrated air defense network.
The downing marks the latest in a series of similar interceptions over the Strait of Hormuz in recent weeks. Less than a month ago, the Iranian military announced the interception and destruction of a US MQ-1 Predator drone and an advanced Orbiter reconnaissance drone over the same waterway.
The IRGC said in a statement on September 21 that the drone was shot down by the IRGC Aerospace Force’s sophisticated new air defense system, which operates within the nation’s integrated air defense network.
It described the MQ-1 as a sophisticated drone that had logged 20,000 flight hours in Afghanistan and was infamously referred to as the “Butcher of Kandahar.”
It said the MQ-1 was retired from the combat fleets of the US Navy and Air Force several years ago, having been replaced by the MQ-9 Reaper..........more..........
