There’s way too much going on right now for me to really focus on any one country this week. The aftermath of the fall of the Nepal government has, somewhat surprisingly, reverberated around the world, and not only in countries that are enemies to the West as you’d expect; for example, Morocco’s government battle fiercely with Egypt’s and Jordan’s to be first in line to lick the dogshit off the boots of Zionists, and yet Morocco is currently embroiled in a large protest wave based primarily around a youth unemployment crisis (though their population is also remarkably pro-Palestinian, which generates additional friction). We’re also seeing similar protests in Madagascar, Peru, and Paraguay, and perhaps more will come. I’m personally fairly doubtful in the potential for meaningful economic results from these protests (the current imperialist system seems too deeply embedded for a movement that isn’t explicitly communist and anti-imperialist to alter conditions), but it is quite possible for new political results at least.
Outside of the developing world, it appears that the unpopularity of western leaders, such as in the UK, France, and Italy, is creating new levels of unrest. In Britain, the political system has become so utterly moribund that even the artificial democracy of a two-party system (more-or-less; the Lib Dems do exist I suppose) no longer suffices, with both Conservatives and Labour gradually sinking. The Reform party appears like it may become the new standard-bearer of the capitalists and petit-bourgeois - that is, the historical wellspring of fascism - and the Left Party (whatever name they eventually choose) may or may not rise to meet the occasion. In France, they’re on their fifth Prime Minister in two years, after Lecornu lasted about a month, attempting the liberal classic: promising change, and then appointing the exact same people who have ruled for the last few decades. And pro-Palestinian protests and general strikes have erupted in Italy, in defiance of their rightwing government under Meloni.
While there’s plenty of other events (e.g. continuing aggression against Venezuela that might soon erupt into a war) it would be remise of me not to mention the very much ongoing events vis-a-vis Palestine and a potential peace deal there, seemingly supported to some degree by Trump. It could be legitimate, and it could be some big act (very likely the latter, IMO). Both Trump and Netanyahu seem to believe that they’re very talented political masterminds, producing manoeuvres and feints that would make Machiavelli blush. Nothing could be further from the truth, and I trust the militant organizations inside Palestine to outplay these American failsons. Hamas and similar groups are not nearly as gullible as the Iranian reformist faction - though few people are!

Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don’t want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it’s just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
Simplicius, who publishes on Substack. Like others, his political analysis should be soundly ignored, but his knowledge of weaponry and military strategy is generally quite good.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists’ side.

I find it deeply sickening that after everything that’s happened over two years, people still treat the release of the hostages like it’s the fucking second coming. Hundreds of thousands are dead, who gives a shit about these two dozen people. Not the “Israelis”, they would never have started bombing if they did.

extra specialDid Zionists really think that they could just go back to Israel being seen as a normal country by the general population just because of a ceasefire?
This is how you know you’re the good guys
“Nazi fliers distributed outside Ofer prison (near Ramallah) where Palestinian prisoners are usually released, ahead of a prepared raid by the Zionist forces:
"We are watching you everywhere
If you express any support or affiliation to terrorist organizations, you are putting yourselves in danger of arrest and severe consequences
You have been warned"”
Alhamdulillah, the freed are now being checked out for medical issues by the Red Cross
Are USian troops getting paid or not? Can’t get a clear answer on this. I think it’s fundamentally important towards estimates for when something in Venezuela will happen.
Palestinian buses are moving from Gaza toward the “Kerem Shalom” crossing to transport Palestinian prisoners who will be released by the occupation.
Simultaneously, the resistance has released the names of 20 PoWs to be released and is preparing for handover in less than an hour

MKs Ayman Odeh & Ofer Cassif removed after disrupting Trump’s Knesset speech. Hadash MKs shout “terrorist,” hold signs demanding ‘recognize Palestine’ in middle of US President’s address to the Knesset.
MKs Ayman Odeh and Ofer Cassif of the far-left Hadash party were removed from the Knesset plenum this afternoon (Monday) after they disrupted US President Donald Trump’s speech to the Knesset.
The MKs held up signs saying, “Recognize Palestine” and shouted “terrorist” during the American President’s address. The disruption occurred as Trump was praising his special envoy, Steve Witkoff. Both disruptors were quickly ordered removed from the plenary. Their removal by Knesset security was met with cheers from other MKs. Related articles:
President Trump remarked after they were removed: “That was very efficient.” He then continued with his speech.
Following their removal from the plenary, MK Odeh wrote on X that he “raised the most basic demand, a demand that the entire international community agrees upon: To recognize a Palestinian state.”
MK Cassif stated that he “didn’t come to disturb, but to demand justice.”

The fact that this particular repulsive freak “country” can commit genocide for two years and be openly protected by FIFA while the Russians were expelled the femtosecond they stepped over the Ukrainian border is so unspeakably disgusting that I quite literally cannot find the words to describe it here.
Death to “Israel”. Death to FIFA. Death to the European Union.
Mamdani officially called Diaz-Canel and Maduro “dictators” and said “their administrations have stifled free and fair elections, imprisoned political opponents, and suppressed a free and fair press”. This is as Trump is openly calling for airstrikes against Venezuela and regime throw against Maduro. What a fucking snake.
Tired of interviewees and people who write opinion pieces calling things “globalist”, please either use “imperialist” or “homosexual” depending on what you actually mean so that I don’t need to invest effort and research into figuring out if I want to launch you into the sun.
Thank you for your attention in this matter!
