My sources for the preamble come mostly from here, here, and here.
The thread image depicts Kenyan police, trained by the Zionist entity, in a meeting with President Ruto before being sent to Haiti, sourced from this article.
As has been planned for the last couple years, foreign police officers have been inside Haiti for a few months now. It will surprise nobody to learn that this has not gone very well. Gangs continue to control much of the country, and violence has continued in the form of massacres and forced relocations (approximately 1.3 million). Something like 80% of the capital, Port-au-Prince, is under the control of one gang or another.
The aim by the US was to import 2500 police officers to Haiti from a wide variety of countries. One of those was Kenya; President Ruto had to fight his own country’s courts to force this through, and ironically is now apparently considering withdrawing those officers once the UN mandate expires on October 2nd. The issue here is not only the limited manpower (Haiti has a population of 12 million), but also very pedestrian things, like the fact that the officers who arrive don’t even speak the language.
The situation in Haiti appears to be a fairly standard operation of American national control, in which both battling sides are being supported by the US in order to create maximum disorganization and prevent a coherent political force from arising and thus threatening their Caribbean interests. While the US funds foreign forces to arrive in Haiti to “control the situation” or similar justifications, the Haitian gangs get their weapons smuggled in from the US itself. That this is happening alongside escalations against Venezuela is obviously not a coincidence - in a world in which American interests are being gradually shrugged off, and where the American state military is becoming rapidly more impotent and unable to dissuade and defeat even tiny states like Yemen, total imperial dominion of their immediate surrounding territory must be ensured by any means necessary.
The police and the gangs are likely designed to be mutually reinforcing, without even much kayfabe of fighting each other. As an example, once the Kenyan police arrived, they immediately began brutalizing anti-government protestors instead of focussing on gang activity. They were trained by the Zionist entity, after all.

GSF announced italy is deploying a naval vessel to safeguard Italian nationals on the flotilla, seems like a big deal to me
We note the announcement of the Italian Ministry of Defence regarding the deployment of a naval vessel to the area of the GSF, with the stated purpose of safeguarding Italian nationals aboard.
We welcome the recognition by Minister Crosetto of the democratic and non-violent nature of our mission, and his condemnation of the recent attacks on our vessels.
Earlier today, we called on all UN Member States—and in particular those whose nationals are aboard our ships—to ensure and facilitate effective protection, including maritime escort, accredited diplomatic observers, and an overt protective State presence. Italy has now taken a first step in this direction.
We emphasise that such measures must remain protective and facilitative in nature, consistent with the principles of non-interference and the humanitarian purpose of our mission. We therefore call on other states to follow suit in providing protective presence to guarantee the safe passage of their nationals and to uphold international law.
Spain is deploying a warship alongside Italy’s to escort the Global Sumud Flotilla.
Al-Jazeera reporter on board one of the flotilla ships is reporting there was a loud explosion near the fleet and drones are flying overhead. Marine VHF radios are currently being jammed.

Here we were thinking that they were preparing for global war or thermonuclear conflict. Turns out it’s likely just going to be a bunch of dumb bullshit and a waste of everyone’s time
Someone on the flotilla repudiating Italy’s so-called naval escort:
https://nitter.net/davidrkadler/status/1971142857517039950URGENT 🚨 Don’t be fooled by Meloni’s naval deployment: It is nothing but a cynical rouse to demobilize the @gbsumudflotilla — in direct coordination with the State of Israel that attacked us.
We will reject this proposal. We will keep sailing. And we will complete our mission.
My prediction is that once the flotilla is near Cyprus, the IOF will bomb the flotilla some more, possibly even sinking a ship, the Italian warship will go “uwu I’m just a smol bean ship I can’t defend against these drones x3,” and set sail for Cyprus but not without trying to split the flotilla between those who will finish their mission and those who will choose to be “escorted” by the ship to Cyprus.
Every ship in the flotilla needs to hold the line and force the Italian ship to make a choice between either abandoning their “escort” mission and returning to Italy, thereby demonstrating the bravery of the flotilla and the cowardice of the Italian navy or setting sail for Gaza, in effect making the flotilla be the escorter and the ship the escortee.
The United States Department of State has said it will revoke the visa of Colombian President Gustavo Petro, citing his “reckless and incendiary actions”.
“Earlier today, Colombian president stood on a NYC street and urged U.S. soldiers to disobey orders and incite violence,” the department said in a post on X.
Petro, in New York for the United Nations General Assembly, told a crowd outside the UN headquarters: “I ask all the soldiers of the army of the United States not to point their guns at people. Disobey the orders of Trump. Obey the orders of humanity!”
Not sure if this is news mega worthy, but after losing a couple billion bucks off their stock price, Disney is bringing Jimmy Kimmel back.
I’d love to see the deal they offered him to come back
Who wants to bet that some Trump cronies just earned a fortune buying the stocks at the bottom?
He always does that lol. Say something, stock goes down, walks back, stock goes up again. It’s almost a recurring pattern at this point.
Plot twist: Trump & Co realize they can fabricate dips and policy decisions are entirely made for the creation of more dips.
In recent years it only seems to be conservatives who boycott companies with any effectiveness.
It seems that the corporations forgot liberal backlash could even be a factor in their decision making.
This happened to Tesla’s sales but it didn’t really damage the stock price. Disney does not have Musk immunity in the markets.
On top of that, Disney’s audience are probably majority liberals now after all the anti-woke shit.
Tesla’s stock has never really been correlated with reality anyway. It’s truly a mystery how that one works to me.
EVs are literally a trillion dollar market (in terms of global revenue), and not only does Tesla have major brand recognition, they were also a big early player in the game.
Even if Chinese companies are beating the shit out of Tesla right now, it will take some time before the current cycle of overproduction ends.
Regular vehicles are an even bigger market and yet Tesla stock is valued higher than like Toyota/Honda/GM combined. The trick is lying all the time and not getting sent to FEC jail over it.
Not to defend Tesla or Musk, but the company was built on the (correct) bet that EVs as a market would grow rapidly and take market share away from ICE cars. They were also a major early player. Investors thought that Tesla would become to EVs what Apple became to smartphones.
And they did so in a time of major overaccumulation of capital, so have tons of money to throw on such a bet.
The overprice stock remained overpriced on this bet then that Tesla would rapidly scale up sales revenue and profits.
Such a bet obviously could not be taken on legacy automakers, because they were established companies that could not simply throw everything at making EVs like Tesla could.
Tesla also made some intelligent moves, like building battery factories and remaining in China. In theory, the company would have had a much bigger revenue stream, but they squandered it by focusing on luxury cars and cost-cutting manufacturing processes.
Nobody thought that one vehicle manufacturer would magically own the market because they were an early mover, that’s not how the industry has ever worked. Even if it was, we know the upside of all the other current major auto manufacturers combined and they’re still valued below Tesla.
The over valuation was based on Musk saying that he’s got a switch that he can flip to turn all Teslas into autonomous taxis. He’s been lying about that for close to a decade now and he’s still lying about it today.
What they did in the past does not reflect their current price. They have a P/E ratio of almost 250 with declining revenue. That is unheard of. It implies that from their current position they’d need to 6-8x their profits just to reach its current level of valuation and be comparable to their competitors valuations. This means that after 6-8xing their profits their stock price shouldn’t move and only then would they be comparable. If it does move up from here, it would necessitate even more growth
You are describing Tesla’s growth and justification for valuation maybe, 4-5 years ago.

Lmao. Yeah, that answer seems appropiate for a lot of shit nowadays.
Just lmao your way through life.
Well, they cant really conclude Tyler Robinson was the murderer of Charlie Kirk so it’s a pretty embarrassing time for us intelligence
Can I just point to the hotel where he is staying in and cash in 10 million bucks?
Sadly, nah. The US removed the bounty shortly after Jolani took power

When Western governments say they want reforms in the Palestinian Authority, that just means they want the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian Resistance to disarm and allow the Israelis to take control and kill everyone, while using the Palestinian Authority to cover up Israeli war crimes, right?
Because I very much doubt that they were saying that Fatah/PLO should recognize the results of the 2006 elections and allow Hamas to form a government, and that the comprador Mahmoud Abbas should resign in favor of another Palestinian leader, maybe Marwan Barghouti (really doubt that since the Israelis arrested him and is currently torturing him).
yeah all these politicians are such lying snakes. Every single one of them says “we want two states. but hamas hamas hamas hamas hostages hostages hostages”. The lie is totally obvious, not that westerners won’t eat it up anyways. As long as they can keep their job working for Raytheon or Hitler, Inc. or whatever. Of course the US doesn’t support a Palestinian state anyways.
Even worse they basically propose palestine to not have an army and allow Israel to veto any political appointments done inside palestine. And good luck getting rid of the settlers in the west bank.
Its a complete farce, done to distract libs and appease the international law crowd
The end goal is a patchwork of Palestinian Bantustans or reservations, ruled by cooperative micro-monarchs. The only difference between the Israeli right and left is whether it gets called a state.
absolute dogshit speech by australian PM. what a piece of shit.
edit: same from canada. hamas this hamas that
edit: these people are all such snakes. all of them say its conditional on the disarming of hamas. Which they know won’t happen. Cynical lying posturing.
NYCrimes: Three People Shot at Dallas ICE Facility
Three people were shot at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Dallas on Wednesday morning, ICE officials said. Kristi Noem, the secretary of homeland security, said there were “multiple injuries and fatalities” and the shooter was found dead of a “self-inflicted gunshot wound.”
Details of the circumstances were not immediately available. “While we don’t know motive yet, we know that our ICE law enforcement is facing unprecedented violence against them,” Ms. Noem said. “It must stop.”
