Extremely interesting- on the recent Ukrainian corruption scandal, Russian influence, the distorted Russian/US peace treaty and how they all seem to tie together. Definitely worth a read.
Over the past months, a sequence of events has unfolded around Ukraine that is worth looking at as a whole.

Individually, each piece can be explained.

Together, they paint a picture of a Russia that is losing leverage — and trying to regain it in a hurry.

What stands out most is how reactive the Russian side appears.

The “peace plan” does not read like the product of a confident actor.

It feels rushed, incomplete, and disconnected from the military and political realities on the ground.

Michigan Democrats Push to Label Gaza War a Genocide
Lansing, Michigan — Michigan Democrats are increasingly calling the war in Gaza a genocide, reflecting a broader shift within the national party toward stronger criticism of Israel’s military actions. At Michigan State University, U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed told students that his long-standing position distinguishes him from primary rival Sen. Mallory McMorrow, who has more recently adopted the term. El-Sayed argued that the scale of civilian casualties and destruction in Gaza requires moral clarity from lawmakers. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The movement intensified last week when U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib introduced House Resolution 876, co-sponsored by 20 Democratic lawmakers, declaring that actions by the Israeli government constitute genocide. The proposal also urges the United States to meet its obligations under the U.N. Genocide Convention, though it faces steep odds in the GOP-controlled House. Tlaib said that ceasefire announcements have not stopped Palestinian casualties, asserting that U.S.-supplied weapons continue to fuel the conflict. State-level Democrats echoed those concerns. Michigan House members Erin Byrnes, Alabas Farhat, and Dylan Wegela introduced a resolution pushing the state’s congressional delegation to oppose weapons transfers to Israel and support humanitarian relief for Gaza. Although unlikely to advance in the Republican-led chamber, the sponsors said their communities view the issue as an urgent moral mandate. Candidates in statewide races are also shifting. Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist and McMorrow have both recently endorsed labeling Israel’s actions as genocide, while U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens continues to strongly support Israel. El-Sayed said he welcomed others joining the effort, calling Gaza a “moral Rorschach test” for American politics. --- Sources: * News From the States – MBFC Rating The post Michigan Democrats Push to Label Gaza War a Genocide appeared first on News Facts Network.

You might remember the B.C. white nationalist conference I covered a few months back, Exiles of the Golden Age.

Well, @antihate.ca just identified 18 attendees -- and CBC got two more.

Naturally, these dudes have been crashing out.

So I gathered some favourites for your viewing pleasure:

Identifying fascists is a thorough, methodical, and verifiable process.
On Monday, we published this investigation into "Exiles of the Golden Age," a fascist conference in Vancouver this July.

We identified 18 of the 50+ people our photographer captured outside the venue, including small business owners and neo-Nazis.

Here's how we did it. 🧵

As a minister I strongly condemn the odious actions by conservatives in this province.

Invoking the Notwithstanding clause is a curtailment of democracy. But foremost, it advances the American far-right agenda rooted in diminishing trans lives in this province, notably trans youth. #abpoli #ableg
Supported by all UCP members present (36) and independents Pete Guthrie and Scott Sinclair.

Opposed by 35 NDP MLAs.

Trump lost his trade war in every possible sense. It hurt the economy; it made us look ludicrous and lawless; and it gave Beijing a chance to reach for world power. And there is nothing Trump can do about any of this except back down and blame others. (1/2)

Demystifying Propaganda — and How Today’s Billionaires Are Using Bolshevik Conditioning Tactics Against Us All

Propaganda isn’t magic. It’s not hypnosis. It’s not mind-control in a sci-fi sense.

It’s something far simpler — and more dangerous: conditioning.
