This is what a gun-battle leaves behind in Kashmir, a video by Basharat Amin, shows how Indian occupying forces demolish & vandalize family homes in their hunt to kill operations. There is no military need to destroy homes. The intent is to terrorize & wage psychological warfare against Kashmiris.

Russian militias backed by Syrian & Russian bombers have increased bombardment of civilian communities in Idlib, Hama, & Aleppo. Syria is reportedly using cluster bombs which release hundreds of explosives & are banned by 102 countries because they indiscriminately harm civilians. The US & Russia also use them.
Demand the immediate cessation of bombing & the immediate, unconditional withdrawal of all foreign military forces from Syria.

Israel is holding nearly 6,500 Palestinian political prisoners, 1,500 of whom have health issues, 400 are under the age of 18, 450 are detained without charge or trial.
The Amnesty report on US-coalition bombing of Raqqa, Syria, called by some the ‘most destroyed city in modern times’. Although how they can distinguish a difference between the carnage of US bombing in Raqqa & that in Mosul, Iraq is not explained. Those who call for a ‘humanitarian’ US bombing campaign in Syria are delusional war mongers.

According to the Jammu & Kashmir Coalition of Civil Society (JKCCS), almost 600 Kashmiris were killed by Indian occupying forces in 2018 making it Kashmir’s ‘deadliest year’ in a decade. One of those killed was an 8-month old baby. It is often referred to as a ‘low-intensity armed conflict’, a concept devised by US war strategists in the 1980s to describe US military aggression of a paramilitary nature in Central America. An occupation of nearly a million troops, the use of pellet munitions, & that kind of death rate can hardly be called low-intensity.
Do these Indian soldiers in Kashmir look ‘low-intensity’ to you?

Palestinian girls at the Great Return March today which was again fired on by Israeli snipers.
So many express admiration for Iran’s theocracy because it defies US sanctions. As if that defiance came from some higher purpose & not economic & political imperatives. What about it’s military intervention against the Syrian Arab Spring involving the slaughter of thousands of civilians? What about its repression in Iran of free speech; the arrest, torture, & rape of political prisoners; the killing, persecution, flogging, & jailing of journalists; freedom of religion; outlawing of homosexuality; mass trials of dissidents; compulsion to wear the veil? What about the annual conference it sponsors of fascists, holocaust deniers & other anti-Semites, 9/11 truthers & other conspiracy mongers? What about the sentence of human rights lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh to 38 years & 148 lashes for speaking out against the compulsory veil for women? What about human rights?

Wouldn’t you love to be a fly on the wall at the state dinner next June when Trump sits down to dinner with Betty Windsor & flatulent Phil? The conversation will combine Betty’s banalities & non sequiturs with Phil’s vulgarities & Trump’s imbecilities. White supremacy will be served as the main course with colonial braggadocio for dessert. Moochocracy meets its match in Trump.
NewsWars, an Alex Jones conspiracy site, & Unz Review, a white nationalist site that promotes eugenics, holocaust denial, & the David Icke theory of an international Jewish conspiracy for world domination, are already out claiming the fire at Notre Dame is a ‘neocon-Zionist false flag operation’ just like they consider 9/11. You can see, if you follow their derangement, how seamlessly that transitions into ‘war on terror’ rhetoric & how pernicious & pervasive their influence on Assadism. Those taken in by this intellectual swill have no where to go politically but hell.
