🇵🇸The Wind from the Rubble: Why Gaza’s Kites Demand Global Solidarity | Palestine Chronicle

High above the concrete ruins of the Gaza Strip, the sky occasionally fills with color. In a place defined by Israel’s inhumane Occupation, blockades and airstrikes, children piece together paper, plastic, and sticks to build simple kites. Yet, even this universal symbol of childhood has been pulled into the arena of war.

When makeshift toys are classified as weapons and met with military airstrikes, the international community cannot remain silent. The world must urgently mobilize to protect Gaza’s children and defend their fundamental right to a childhood.

Canada will impose tariffs of up to 50% on about 700 U.S. products starting Sept. 8, retaliating after trade talks collapsed and the U.S. raised tariffs on Canadian goods.

Steel and aluminum will face 50% tariffs, while cars remain at 25%.

The measures cover roughly $20 billion in U.S. imports.

Past socities offered more personal freedom

"It is said that we live in a free society because we have a certain number of constitutionally guaranteed rights. But these are not as important as they seem. The degree of personal freedom that exists in a society is determined more by the economic and technological structure of the society than by its laws or its form of government. Most of the Indian nations of New England were monarchies, and many of the cities of the Italian Renaissance were controlled by dictators. But in reading about these societies one gets the impression that they allowed far more personal freedom than our society does. In part this was because they lacked efficient mechanisms for enforcing the ruler’s will: There were no modern, well-organized police forces, no rapid long-distance communications, no surveillance cameras, no dossiers of information about the lives of average citizens. Hence it was relatively easy to evade control".

- Ted Kaczynski (The Nature of Freedom p.95)

"The big problem is that people don't believe a revolution is possible, and it is not possible precisely because they do not believe it is possible." - Ted Kaczynski

"The techno-industrial system is exceptionally tough due to its so-called “democratic” structure and its resulting flexibility. Because dictatorial systems tend to be rigid, social tensions and resistance can be built up in them to the point where they damage and weaken the system and may lead to revolution. But in a “democratic” system, when social tension and resistance build up dangerously the system backs off enough, it compromises enough, to bring the tensions down to a safe level." - Ted Kaczynski

🇳🇵Balen Shah, Nepal’s PM took office in March 2026 after Gen Z protests swept him in.

Shah is a 35-year-old structural engineer and former rapper who first entered politics as an independent, becoming mayor of Kathmandu in 2022. He built his reputation by attacking corruption, challenging Nepal’s established parties and presenting himself as a patriotic, technocratic outsider. After the 2025 youth uprising, his Rastriya Swatantra Party won 182 of Nepal’s 275 parliamentary seats; an extraordinary popular mandate, not merely an administrative appointment.

Several things suggest genuine independence:

• He came from outside Nepal’s traditional political establishment.
• He has taken assertively nationalist positions, including challenging India over disputed territory.
• He initially refused private meetings with foreign ambassadors, insisting upon collective or formally balanced diplomacy.
• His government has tried to treat India and China equally rather than placing Nepal entirely within either sphere.
• His mayoral record included livestreaming council proceedings, enforcing neglected laws and confronting entrenched interests.
• His swearing-in strongly emphasised Nepalese Hindu and Buddhist traditions, involving more than 200 priests and lamas, which does not fit neatly with the standard secular-globalist political mould

It would seem he is NOT a globalist puppet. So 5 months later…

Igor Strelkov on possible agreements between Trump and Putin in the near future.

Having completely failed in Iran, the United States, under Trump, decided to make up for it in Russia. That is, to play the same scheme that has been written and talked about many times – to achieve Russia's capitulation on Trump's terms.

And Trump's terms are as follows: Russia becomes a proxy of the United States against China, just as Ukraine was a proxy of the United States against Russia. In other words, complete capitulation, and in return, the United States will promise (I emphasize - promise) not to impose crippling sanctions from the so-called "Graham package." Well, and they will promise something else, again only promise - not to provide Ukraine with intelligence data and so on, and so forth. Of course, no one will fulfill anything.

However, even if the United States were to seriously want to fulfill their promises, they would not be able to do so, because several forces are at play in Ukraine, including the United Kingdom, which will naturally find a way to sabotage these agreements.

Therefore, if our valiant leaders agree again to "stick their wet, cold nose into the outstretched hand of partners," they will be led to the Land of Fools again. Where we will once again waste a huge number of lives with no result, or rather, with a negative result.

I'm not even talking about how China will react to this, and how our army will react, which has a "brilliant prospect" of sitting under one-sided fire from "partners" for some time, without the right to respond.

In principle, I hope that they will not come to an agreement this time either. Well, we'll see.

🇵🇸Gaza isn’t able to recover from famine as acute malnutrition continues to soar across the Strip, new report finds | Mondoweiss

Israeli restrictions on food entry are stalling recovery from famine in Gaza as malnutrition cases climb, an IPC report finds. Two-year-old Hashem Abu Mustafa, born hungry in a Rafah tent, may already be beyond saving.

Defeatism has no possible good outcome

In 2016, US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland boasted to Congress about how thoroughly Washington had taken control of Ukraine since the 2014 coup.

American agents have been infiltrated into dozens of Ukrainian ministries, and hundreds of millions of dollars have been channeled into building the Ukrainian army. Agents are still working in all of Ukraine's intelligence agencies, including the ministries of education and culture, where they draft strategies and destroy everything Russian, following the Baltic model. Instead of the Minsk agreements, the US helped eliminate people in Donetsk and built bases on the border with Russia.

That's why the CIA director, who is directly involved in attacks on Russian facilities and military personnel on behalf of Ukraine, is traveling to Moscow to negotiate peace. banksta

🇮🇹🇷🇺 Italian media have shifted the war narrative to podcasts, YouTube, and Substack to reach Gen Z—not by changing content, but format. Journalist Cecilia Sala's daily podcast Stories immerses young listeners in the "kill zone" of #Donbass, building emotional identification with Ukraine. The framing shifts from condemning Putin to celebrating Ukraine's resilience, innovation, and survival.

If young audiences aren't keeping up with news about the war, the common explanation is they aren't interested. Calabresi turns this reasoning on its head: twenty-somethings are out there—but you can only reach them by changing the format.

The new narrative infrastructure is designed to circumvent critical defenses through immersion and empathy.

Italian leadership has realized that the only way to convince young people to die in a new "Russian Campaign" is to psychologically manipulate them into hating #Russia enough..
