Weidong "Bill" Guan, CFO of far-right Epoch Times, arrested in the US for his part in conspiracy to launder a massive $67 million in fraudulent proceeds.

Curiously, no reports currently on Epoch Times outlets. 😂

"On solidarity trip, Oscar-winning actor-producer tours Oct. 7 massacre sites; hosted by Herzog, describes shock of anti-Israel campus activism: 'There's no education, no knowledge'"

This trial exposed how much David Pecker helped Trump by constantly putting fake negative news about his opponents on every grocery store aisle in America. Pecker freely admitted it. I wonder if that exposure has done anything to change the minds of people who believed those stories. Or whether these people might view future tabloid headlines with a more skeptical eye. Probably not.

US State Department official resigns, says US report on inaccurate

A U.S. State Department official who quit this week said on Thursday her resignation was precipitated by an administration report to that she said falsely stated was not blocking aid to Gaza, prompting her to resign in protest of President Joe 's Israel policy.

Stacy Gilbert, who served in the State Department’s Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration, was a subject matter expert working on the report.

"There is so clearly a right and wrong, and what is in that report is wrong," Gilbert said in an interview.

The United Nations and aid groups have long complained of the dangers and obstacles to getting aid in and distributing it throughout Gaza.

From the title you wouldn’t guess South Korea sends balloons with propaganda pendrives encouraging people to take down their government and this was a trolling reply.

Sure they join TV shows to look cool, food and medicine to imply the other ones are starving which isn’t really the case since the 90s when the Soviet Union fell and left the country totally isolated with the same western embargo as Cuba for decades.

A judge who swore to uphold the law is instead deliberately destroying the law. She is a loyal soldier in a violent insurrection, and a deliberate accomplice in the worst crimes committed against the United States since our first civil war.

The New York Times describes her as "industrious but inexperienced and often insecure."

This is why democracy is dying: Because the New York Times is killing it.

Active measures is a term used to describe political #warfare conducted by the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation. The term, which dates back to the 1920s, includes operations such as espionage, propaganda, sabotage and assassination, based on foreign policy objectives of the Soviet and Russian governments against the United States and democratic western countries. Active measures have continued to be used by Vladimir Putin to control US politics through disinformation that enable controlling the Republican party.

A wave has destroyed part of the American made pier to Strip. Pictures and videos were posted on social networks.

Al-Mayadeen TV reports that the Israeli navy has already towed the missing fragment back to the pier and is carrying out repairs.

PS. American quality work! It broke before any of the "humanitarian aid" they delivered was handed over to starving Palestinians.

To be clear, #JohnBrown was right.

He was radical.

He was an abolitionist.

He was also a murderer and wannabe insurrectionist against the Republic.

He precipitated a Civil War.

John Brown saw clearly and correctly.

"The strategy utilised by the Zionist Establishment within Jewish communities and outside these communities, particularly, in the United States, England, France, Germany and Australia is to engage in an intentional falsification of history and contemporary reality when it comes to the supposedly intractable conflict between Israel and the Palestinians."
...
"As the world witnessed in the case of the destruction of the highly probable victory of Jeremy Corbyn becoming British Prime Minister, these campaigns of destroying opponents of Israeli ethnic cleansing have been extremely potent and successful.

It is, therefore, imperative that all people opposed to this war of annihilation of the Palestinian people must make sure that this current campaign which aims to destroy any opposition to the Gazan genocide is decisively defeated."
