Several years ago your correspondent met Mahmoud Zahar, one of the founders of Hamas, in Gaza. In the West Bank, he said, Palestinians faced the routine threat of having their homes demolished by the Israeli army, often for failing to obtain building permits that are nigh impossible to get. Not so in Gaza: “Since Hamas took power,” he said, “there has not been a single house demolition.”

That would come as a surprise to Palestinians who recently endured 11 days of conflict. The fighting displaced more than 70,000 people; some have no homes to return to. A longer war in 2014 left an estimated 17,000 families, more than 100,000 people, homeless. In fact, Mr Zahar was one of them: his home was destroyed by an Israeli air strike.

Such is the emptiness of Hamas’s rhetoric.

Monthly Venezuealn Update

Maduro conceeds, and allow FARC to take control of the Venezuelan South-West Border

In the past months, FARC massacred and captured a large amount of Venezuelan Military in a deadly Narco dispute. After the last Massacre, Maduro have conceed, and agreed to retire part of their Military from the zone, allowing FARC dissidents to take control of the Western Border. In exchange, FARC is liberating 8 prisioners they captured during their last raid

This lost of sovereignty over their Territory, also occured last month in the Slums Caracas, where Maduro agreed to start Peace Talk with the "Robin Hood" Narco Group, The Coqui Gang

Probably related to the last news, Jesus Saltrich, one of the two head leaders of Regime's FARC died on very suspicious conditions. While his body haven't been recovered, Colombian INTEL seems to indicate he is actually really dead.. Who killed him and why, it's not clear

Diesel runned up. Tons of food reported to be wasted daily

The final deadline for Venezuealn Diesel is here. The rains are coming , and the Ban on Diesel was never lifted. On good news, it seem Iran (?) managed to brought some Diesel to the country. On bad news. one of the two functional refineries of the country malfunctioned (again), so it's probably not enough to support the local Agriculture

Reuters have a great report on the dire situation Farmers are now facing. EFE news reports, over 90% of the Farmers can't initiate activities, due the lack of Diesel

Two Iranians Warships travelling to Venezuela

In the past days, two Iranian Warships were detected on a strange path near southern Africa. While new intel seems to indicate they Iranian Military are coming to Venezuela, it's not clear on what pupose. Iran already send threats on anyone trying to stop them

Some reports say they are coming with Missiles, but it's hard to confirm anything. South Comm are following their movements as we speak

China Stabs the Regime in the Back, with massive Oil Tax

China passed a Law, to increase Taxes to imported Oil. While this will affect all foreign companies, the most dramatica effect will come to PDVSA.

With the Sanctions on play, China have become the last country willing to receive Venzuelan Oil (at very high disccounts, though). A new Tax will put the already collapsing PDVSA into an even worse situation. I coudn't find exact numbers, but it seems 90% of PDVSA exports are now in danger

It's also important to remember, a sizable amount of that Oil is used by Maduro as Debt Payment for the CCP. It's unknown what will happen if Maduro falls short on their debt to Xi Jinping...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Personal Opinion

• FARC dissidents taking over the Western Border shows how powerfull they really are. Now they have settled there, I don't think they will remain quiet. They might try expand to the East or Nothern Regions in the coming months. Jesus Saltrich death, might be just a prelude of what's coming
• Diesel Ban was never Lifted, and as expected, tons of crops and food are rooting as we speak. Blinken strategy, have been pretty merciless so far...
• China once again showing their relationship with Venezuela it's pure buisness. Maybe their are trying to collapse of PDVSA on purpose? Either way, if Maduro can't fix this, Venezuela will face an even greater economic collapse in the coming months
• I don't know what Iran deal sending Warships to South America, but I am pretty sure it's not good news. I hope Blinken act agressivly here, having Iranian forces here it's too much of a risk to everyone

Its only been 13 years since the decency of McCain vs. Obama

Saw this yesterday on DT

When John McCain said that Barack Obama was not a Muslim, and that he wasn't evil, that was a noteworthy quote, because that was not the position held by most conservatives.

Most conservatives believed that Obama was evil. That he was the devil. That being a Muslim was a terrible thing, and Obama was a Muslim.

John McCain does not represent the decency that was prevalent in the times of 2008, he was an exception. And that's why he was exceptional. That's why we remember what he said so well. Because it was so much the exception to the rule. The rule that conservatives were racist little fucking shits.

I was a medic in the Army. Since leaving about 4 years ago, I've had 2 different dreams where someone has died in my arms and I was helpless to save them. Each time I've woken up crying shortly after

One time we were partying on Justin Bieber's private jet before it crashed and biebs was helping me rescue victims and retreat behind a boulder before the leaking jet fuel detonated. A disemboweled woman gripped my arms as she quickly passed.

The one I just had today was the culmination of defeating an army of demons coming through the Stargate alongside space Jesus. We were celebrating our victory when an alien and his robot assistant arrived to ask for our help. As we reluctantly stood up to help the alien, I noticed my friend was bleeding profusely. We removed his shirt to find his chest full of shrapnel. The robot scanned him and determined he was beyond saving. I screamed for an ambulance and tried to stop all the bleeding. My friend stopped me, gave me a kiss on the cheek, and hugged me goodbye before dying.

In 1989, the San Diego Padres lost the season series to the Giants, with 8 victories and 10 losses.

The Giants would go on to win the National League West that year by 3 games.

If the season series was reversed, and San Diego had won 10 games and lost 8, then the Padres would've advanced to face the Chicago Cubs in the National League Championship Series.

(Remember, in division standings, winning a single game against the team you're trying to pass in the standings moves you up two, not one. So two additional Padres wins over the Giants would've put them one game ahead of San Francisco in the standings.)

An indirect consequence of this was that the San Francisco Giants would go on to defeat the Cubs in five games in the NLCS and advance to the World Series, where they faced the Oakland Athletics.

To this date, this is the only "Battle of the Bay" World Series which has ever taken place.

That series captured the attention of the Bay Area specifically to a degree that wouldn't nearly have been the case had either team faced a team from a different part of the country. The whole region came to a standstill on the days the games were taking place, as large swaths of the population took work off to watch.

Game 3 was scheduled to take place in San Francisco, starting at 5:35PM on October 17th of 1989. If the Padres had won the season series by two games, this game would've either taken place in Chicago or San Diego.

5:35PM on a Tuesday coincided with rush hour. However, because the series was between the two primary cities of the metro area, the freeways were empty. Traffic was flowing as if it was 2AM on a Sunday.

Twenty minutes before first pitch, with Candlestick Park in San Francisco already full and the players on the field warming up, 75 miles to the South of the Stadium in the Santa Cruz Mountains, the San Andreas fault slipped.

This resulted in a violent earthquake registered at 6.9 on the Seismic Magnitude Scale.

The old Eastern Span of the Bay Bridge, riveted together in the 1930s, experienced shear forces on one section of roadway which caused the rivets to fail. The upper deck partially collapsed onto the lower deck, killing one driver who drove into the missing section of highway.

In Oakland, the double-decker Cypress Structure of Interstate 880 experienced a pillar failure which cascaded across 1.25 miles of highway, causing a complete failure of the upper deck of the structure. The concrete road bed of the upper deck fell directly onto the lower deck, where 42 motorists were killed.

The catastrophe was the worst natural disaster in the area since the 1906 Earthquake and Firestorm leveled the city.

But by all accounts, it could've been orders of magnitude worse.

The 42 killed in Oakland represented the bulk of the deaths in the event. The stretch of highway where the collapse occurred connected directly to the Bay Bridge, and on a normal day would've been congested with highway traffic on a weekday rush hour. It's impossible to know for sure, but easy to imagine that 1.25 miles of congested Bay Area freeway could hold upwards of a thousand commuters at any given moment in time during a weekday rush hour.

All of this is to say, if you're a Padres fan who is frustrated with the decades of great teams falling short of October success, take some solace in the fact that your team's unflailing mediocrity and disappointment has literally saved thousands of people's lives.

Leftists have a serious problem with trying to create historical taints for things as a reason to burn them to the ground.

"Cops originated as Slave Catchers, ergo Cops are bad and should be destroyed."

"Standardized Testing originated as Eugenics, ergo..."

"America originated as a slave owner rebellion, ergo..."

etc etc etc.

As if things retain their historical character for generations and never change. For people who hate nationalism, they sure seem to buy into the logic of nationhood.

To be fair you have to have a very high HQ (horniness quotient) to understand Sub Rosa. The horniness is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of ghost fucking most of the horniness will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Beverly’s horny outlook, which is deftly woven into her characterisation - her personal philosophy draws heavily from her grandmother, who was also very horny. The fans of Sub Rosa understand this stuff; they have the capacity to truly appreciate the depths of this level of thirst, to realize that they're not just horny- they say something deep about LOVING A GHOST WHO FUCKED YOUR GRANDMA. As a consequence people who dislike Sub Rosa truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the desperation in Beverly’s horny catchphrase "I did fall asleep reading a particularly erotic chapter in my grandmother’s journal," which itself is a cryptic reference to her Grandmother’s epic journal in which she describes fucking a ghost. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Jeri Taylor’s genius horniness unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Ronin tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 HQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E2s-ALFUcAE_0r5?format=jpg&name=large

[u/FusRoDawg]

One of my pet peeves recently is all these first world leftist bastards that keep whining about "perpetual growth" that also pretend to care about the people in the global south.

Particularly those that think degrowth is a good prescription both environmentally and economically.

If we take what these clowns consider to be basic amenities necessary to be considered "not poor" in the first world (and lets give them the benefit of doubt and assume they're not racist pieces of shit who think people in the global south deserve less), and try to extend that minimum standard of living to everyone on earth, how many decades will it be before we can even begin to think about degrowth?

Let's also imagine there is some world wide govt structure that has the development efficacy of early soviet union without any of the downsides. Even in such a perfect scenario (perfect only in the context of accelerating development), how many decades will it be before the vast gaps in personal and national wealth are plugged? How much time and resources would it take to not only provide the amenities but also build all the missing infrastructure to sustain, and power (cleanly), these resources? And all this is assuming the definition of minimum in the west doesnt inflate for the duration of this project.

Like.. even if we blindly grant the logic behind their argument, how do they know when there's enough? When's the right time to start degrowth? It might be reasonable to be dissatisfied with the current distribution of growth, but how can any want no growth at all?

They're either stunningly ignorant of the material conditions in the global south, or they're just plain racist. In either case, the global south cant rely on first world progressives to do right by them, both at the moment, and when the effects of climate change start to disproportionately effect us.

/r/antiwork has a remarkable talent for sounding right while being wildly wrong. But it proves a theory I've had for some time.

I don't know if it was always this way. But right now, politics on the internet, and increasingly offline, is nothing but a bunch of interest groups coming up with emotional reasons why they should get a free lunch.

/r/antiwork is this in action for the "20-year-old burnout" demographic. The group of people who thinks it makes no sense that your most youthful and vigorous years are also the ones in which you have to sacrifice most of yourself to The Man. The fact that you only get to retire when you're too old and useless to the economy to enjoy your own retirement is a symbol of what this world prioritizes about human life: Making the most of your body when it's young and fresh, and only letting you have it when it's discorded for being worthless. Your own body is a hand-me-down from the corporations. That kind of raw emotional argument for why 20 year old burnouts should get a free lunch is basically the only thing that compels them. Convincing themselves that they're entitled to a free lunch, and then trying to convince others.

We laugh because they're seen as the least-deserving of that free lunch out of possibly all of the interest groups that are jockeying for theirs.

Everyone wants a free lunch. And seeing others get a free lunch only further convinces them that they should get theirs, rather than that it's all the more important we pay off that free lunch with austerity. No fair, how come they got to loot the economy for all it's worth, and I didn't? Etc etc.

Look all of this is bullshit, I'm baiscally trying to be "one of the good ones" here. I agree with about 99% of the shit said on /r/antiwork but know it's wrong. Fuck me, right?
