Trump openly states that he’s imposing a “humanitarian threat” to force regime change in Cuba “There’s an embargo. There’s no oil. There’s no money. There’s no anything.” A straightforward war crime confession. https://t.co/XdP2TbdKbe

Video Transcript AI Summary
Speaker 1 argues that Cuba should make a deal and asks what that deal would entail and what Cuba should do. He describes Cuba as currently a failed nation, noting that they “don’t even have jet fuel to get for airplanes to take off” and that they are “plugging up their runway.” He says that the United States is talking to Cuba and to Marco Rubio, and asserts that Cuba should absolutely make a deal because it is a humanitarian threat. He emphasizes that many Cuban Americans will be very happy when they can return to greet their relatives and do things that they should have been allowed to do for a long time. He states his interest in the people who were “treated so badly by Castro and the Cuban authorities” and notes that they “have been treated horribly,” adding that they will see how it all turns out as “Cuba and us, we are talking.” Speaker 0 asks whether that would be a good deal. Speaker 1 responds by outlining the current situation: there is an embargo, there is no oil, there is no money, and there is “no anything.” He then asks rhetorically whether, if a deal isn’t made, the United States would consider an operation like the one in Venezuela. He says he doesn’t want to answer that, suggesting it would not be a very tough operation if he did answer, but states he does not think such an operation will be necessary. He concludes with “Mister president.”

Speaker 0: You're warning Cuba to make a deal. What does that deal look like? What do you Speaker 1: want them to do? Is right now a failed nation, and they don't even have jet fuel to get for airplanes to take off. They're plugging up their runway. We're talking to Cuba right now and Marco Rubio talking to Cuba right now, and they should absolutely make a deal because it's a human it's really a humanitarian threat. And we have a lot of great Cuban Americans, and they're gonna be very happy when they're gonna be able to go back and say hello to their relatives and do things that they should have been allowed to do for a long time. I'm very interested in the people that are here that were treated so badly by Castro and the Cuban authorities. They have been treated horribly. So we'll see how it all turns out. But Cuba and us, we are talking. Speaker 0: Is that a good deal? Speaker 1: In the meantime, there's an embargo. There's no oil. There's no money. There's no anything. If a deal isn't made, would you consider an operation like the one in Venezuela? I don't wanna answer that. Why would I answer that if I if I was?

This is why the DOJ had to downplay its phony Cartel of Suns allegations against Maduro in its new indictment Not only does the Cartel of the Suns not exists as a real criminal syndicate, it was literally founded by the CIA to traffic cocaine into American cities

@MaxBlumenthal - Max Blumenthal

Here's the 1993 60 Minutes report on how the CIA recruited a Venezuelan military officer, General Ramón Guillén Davila, to help them ship 22 tons of cocaine into American cities The Cartel of the Suns disappeared once it lost its utility to the CIA, and was resurrected by the US government when it began targeting Venezuela

@TheGrayzoneNews - The Grayzone

The Trump admin accuses Nicolas Maduro of leading the now-defunct Cartel of the Suns Diego Sequera explains how the CIA directed its top Venezuelan asset to ship tons of cocaine into US cities during the early 1990's The CIA asset was known as leader of "Cartel of the Suns"

I report that Trump, citing people he “greatly respects,” says Juan Orlando Hernández was “treated very harshly and unfairly” and deserves a pardon. As Honduras’ president, Hernández awarded contracts over $600,000 to GOP lobbyist firm BGR Group after his brother Tony was sentenced to life for cocaine smuggling; BGR donated heavily to Marco Rubio. Trump pardons Hernández, ignoring the DOJ indictment and the described path to a narco-state.

@MaxBlumenthal - Max Blumenthal

Trump says that according to people that he "greatly respect[s]," convicted narco-trafficker Juan Orlando Hernandez was "treated very harshly and unfairly," and therefore deserves a pardon As president of Honduras, Hernandez initiated contracts worth over $600,000 with GOP lobbying firm BGR Group, after his brother, Tony, was sentenced to life in prison for cocaine smuggling. Since then, BGR has donated heavily to the campaigns of Marco Rubio In pardoning Hernandez, Trump is taking the word of corrupt lobbyists and South Florida's Gusano Industrial Complex, while ignoring the DOJ indictment which resulted in the ex-president's 45 year sentence for trafficking 500 tons of drugs into the US Below is part of the table of contents for that indictment, which documents in painstaking detail how Hernandez transformed his country into a narco-state

A thread details John Sullivan’s role in the Capitol riot, portraying him as a provocateur who celebrated and helped instigate the invasion. It outlines his history in Utah activism, alleged sabotage of BLM, and ties to documentary filmmaker Jade Sacker, with backers like Bryan Fogel and Thor Halvorssen. It notes Sullivan’s links to the brother James, associations with Proud Boys, later banishment from activist circles, and plans for an armed march.

We did this shit. We took this shit.” A casual interaction with a bystander emerges: “What’s up, bro? Fucking yeah. Fuck yeah.

So, you know, I didn’t know I hit it that hard.” The group acknowledges the risk of law enforcement or others filming: “No one got that on camera.” A call to restraint appears but is followed by conflicting impulses: “Do not deface statues. I was I I can I can respect the set? Well, people might burn this down. I’m not gonna lie.” They contemplate the possibility of burning more, recognizing that the moment may already be past or irreversible: “So it might be too late for that.” They question the next target: “Why are we going there? That’s what I’m saying. Break that shit. Damn.” The atmosphere shifts to a more improvised, almost media-savvy plan: “It would be fire if somebody had, like, a boombox or something.

As DC BLM journalist @blackhousenew explained to me, Sullivan has been banished by activist communities across the country. He's considered a dangerous provocateur & is the subject of deep suspicion. This thread details some of his history.

@MaxBlumenthal - Max Blumenthal

The night of the Capitol riot, Sullivan was welcomed on @andersoncooper to present himself as the heroic journalist who recorded Babbit's shooting. Cooper falsely called him a "left-wing activist" and didn't ask why he was actually in the Capitol. This was fodder for the Right.

@MaxBlumenthal - Max Blumenthal

Seated w/Sullivan on CNN is Jade Sacker, a photojournalist who followed him into the Capitol to film his exploits as part of a documentary project. Here she's heard congratulating him - "We did it!" - and he says, "Is this not gonna be the best film you've ever made in yr life?"

I learned that Sacker's project has major backers: It's being "advised" by Bryan Fogel, Academy Award winning maker of Icarus and The Dissident. Here's Fogel with Dissident producer Thor Halvorssen, a neocon operative whose Oslo Freedom Forum trains US-backed oppo activists.

@MaxBlumenthal - Max Blumenthal

There are so many bizarre layers to this story. Sacker's doc also focuses on Sullivan's brother, James, a Utah-based pro-Trump activist who helped recruit fellow Black Republicans for the DC mayhem. The brothers are at odds in public, but on the same side on January 6.

@MaxBlumenthal - Max Blumenthal

In June 2020, John Sullivan emerged practically out of nowhere and began organizing BLM-esque rallies in Utah. The first one spiraled into chaos, led to this shooting where he was present, prompted mass arrests, and triggered the formation of the Utah Citizen's Alarm militia.

@MaxBlumenthal - Max Blumenthal

Following this and many other incidents, James Sullivan told me Utah's BLM chapter reached out to him to help banish John from the scene. John left for Portland, where he was banished for unusual acts that caused mass arrests, then locked out of DC for his destructive presence.

@MaxBlumenthal - Max Blumenthal

The night after the Capitol riot, John Sullivan was spotted fraternizing with Utah Proud Boy leader Thad Cisneros outside DC's Hamilton. A source sent me this photo. In fact, John platformed Proud Boy Thad at a July 2, 2020 rally in Provo, Utah.

@MaxBlumenthal - Max Blumenthal

Moments later, John Sullivan was detained by DC Metro PD and questioned by the FBI. After an hour or so, despite the copious documentation of his role in the Capitol riot, he was let go. (Jade Sacker filmed throughout) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3_0f5LeIxU&feature=emb_title

@MaxBlumenthal - Max Blumenthal

Now, Sullivan is back in Salt Lake City and is seeking to organize an "armed march" at the Utah State Capitol to "end government control" this month. Note that he is not calling for a march for Black liberation, or Black lives, or anything to do with BLM. This is from his site:

@MaxBlumenthal - Max Blumenthal

Many BLM activists call John Sullivan an "agent provocateur." Some suspect he is a law enforcement asset, which he denies. Others say he's simply a nihilist who is dedicated to chaos above all else. What's clear is he is not BLM or Antifa, and is out to wreck their cause.

Speaker 0 and Speaker 1 exchange a tense, improvisational exchange about safety, gear, and trust. Speaker 0 suggests using a code name, proposing “Mel,” and anticipates that the situation “about to get crazy.” Speaker 1 questions whether to try buying something, noting that what Speaker 0 has isn’t literally theirs. They discuss a camera: Speaker 1 asks if Speaker 0 got their camera, and Speaker 0 asks why it wasn’t gotten. Speaker 1 answers that it doesn’t have a strap, prompting Speaker 0 to react to “the spiciest shit” and asks if they want to try a mask, which Speaker 0 declines. The conversation shifts to care and protection. Speaker 0 recalls trying to give a mask before leaving, but Speaker 1 says no because Speaker 0 didn’t have their “pee part” (likely a mishearing or shorthand). Speaker 0 mentions being inside a pool where “there’s shit going down,” while Speaker 1 remains skeptical, saying they don’t believe in Speaker 0 when they claim to care and protect them. Speaker 0 asserts they will provide tools and that there is only so much they can do when Speaker 1 says no, but they still love them. Speaker 1 then suggests relying on Speaker 0 for footage. They discuss who will capture material: “Joey’s going to get everything” or if it should be kept for someone else. The exchange reveals a blend of concern, dependency, and tension over safety, protection, and who is responsible for documenting events. In summary, the dialogue centers on establishing safety measures (code name, mask, camera gear), the friction around accepting protection, the risk of a dangerous situation in or near a pool, and the decision about who will handle recording or footage, with an underlying current of care and unresolved trust between the two speakers.

Whenever Israel wants to murder a journalist or activist in Gaza, they first cook up bogus documents linking them to Hamas Now they’re doing it to Greta Thunberg (The photo in the upper right is from January 2010, and does not show the same person in upper left photo)

@IsraelMFA - Israel Foreign Ministry

EXPOSED: Official Hamas documents found in the Gaza Strip - now revealed for the first time - prove Hamas’s direct involvement in the funding and execution of the “Sumud” flotilla to Gaza Hamas documents that were discovered in the Gaza Strip, and are being revealed for the first time, show a direct link between the flotilla leaders and the Hamas terrorist organization. While Hamas in the Gaza Strip is responsible for what happens inside the Strip, Hamas Abroad is responsible for activity outside the Gaza Strip, with emphasis on the PCPA organization, which is subordinate to Hamas and serves as a wing of the movement. The PCPA (Palestinian Conference for Palestinians Abroad) was established in 2018 and functions as Hamas’ representative body abroad, operating de facto as Hamas’ embassies. The organization operates under the pretense of civilian cover and is responsible, on behalf of Hamas, for mobilizing actions against Israel, including violent demonstrations, marches against Israel, and demonstration and provocation flotillas. The first official Hamas document was found in the Gaza Strip - a letter from 2021 signed by Head of the Hamas Political Bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, directly and explicitly calling on the PCPA chairman for unity. In the letter, Haniyeh publicly endorses the PCPA organization. It should be noted that Israel designated the PCPA as a terrorist organization in 2021 due to it being a wing of Hamas. The second official Hamas document is a list of PCPA operatives, some of whom are high-ranking well-known Hamas operatives. Among the names on the list are Zaher Birawi, who serves as Head of the PCPA’s Hamas sector in the UK, and who is known as a leader of the demonstration flotillas to the Gaza Strip over the past 15 years (number 19 in the document), and Saif Abu Kashk (number 25 in the document), an operative from the organization in Spain. This document was found in a Hamas outpost in the Gaza Strip and proves again their direct connection between the flotilla leaders and Hamas. In addition to being a Hamas-aligned PCPA operative, Abu Kashk is the CEO of Cyber Neptune, a front company in Spain that owns dozens of the ships participating in the “Sumud” flotilla. Thus, these ships are secretly owned by Hamas. A full translation of the document in the first comment.

@MaxBlumenthal Canada has perfected the Judas smile—posing as benevolent while sharpening the knife. ‘Airdrops’ for Gaza as it arms Israel. ‘Peacekeeping’ as it helps coup Haiti. Millions still believe this country cares about humanity. It doesn’t. It gaslights its own. https://t.co/sQHzkpgVcF

Haiti Betrayed is a searing indictment of Canadian leaders’ complicity in the international oppression of this long-suffering nation.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Haiti's history is marked by both resilience and external interference. Following a successful slave rebellion in 1791 that led to independence in 1804, Haiti faced international isolation and a demand from France for reparations, crippling its economy for decades. In 1915, the US invaded and occupied Haiti for 20 years, seizing gold reserves and imposing forced labor. The Duvalier dictatorship, supported by a US-trained army, further terrorized the population. The rise of the Lavalas movement and the election of Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 1990 offered hope, but a coup, backed by wealthy families and the army, ousted him. After Aristide's return, he was later removed again in 2004, in a move many see as a coup supported by the US, Canada, and France. This was followed by a UN military occupation and the installation of an interim government. Subsequent elections were controversial, and the country continues to struggle with poverty, corruption, and external interference, hindering its progress towards true democracy and self-determination.

Speaker 0: Anybody who has come to Haiti has experienced it, the Haitian people. They are very welcoming toward foreigners. Anywhere you go, they will offer you whatever little they have. Haitian are proud, or they used to be. Speaker 1: Haiti has always been a bad example that needed to be stopped because if a country run by former slaves was allowed to succeed, it would undermine the foundations of slavery. So you could not let Haiti function. Speaker 2: It was really tragic for us when we started to understand that the Canadian government was actively undermining the Haitian government. Speaker 0: The Canadian people are kept deliberately ignorant of the Haitian reality. Speaker 3: On the island of Hispaniola, which it shares with the Dominican Republic, Haiti becomes another Caribbean scene of crisis. Haitians are a carefree, happy people who meet adversity with humor and the dance, but they are capable of being very explosive. Speaker 4: Haiti was the most profitable, the most lucrative, the most intensely worked part of the slavery system. It was the place where a lot of power and wealth was concentrated in in a particularly brutal form, a very highly exploitative form, where slaves were worked to death so fast that they could hardly reproduce in Haiti. They had to be constantly replenished from Africa. It was spectacularly successful. It it made the French vast amounts of money in the eighteenth century in particular. Speaker 5: In 1791, the Haitian slaves rebelled. By eighteen o four, they had defeated Napoleon's vast army and created the world's first black republic. Speaker 4: It was a profoundly threatening thing and it challenged France, it challenged Britain, it challenged Spain, they all tried to stifle it and squash it. Speaker 0: Haiti is probably the worst nightmare in history of the powerful people and the powerful country. Speaker 5: When France lost Haiti, its most lucrative colony, it lost one third of its entire economy. Speaker 0: When slaves, cattle, liberate themselves, you cannot have a worst nightmare for the powerful countries. Haiti must be made to fail and to simmer in misery. The French lost the war, but Speaker 4: they must make sure that the example doesn't spread. So they stifle it. They basically put a blockade on Haiti, and they try and freeze it into a permanent poverty. Speaker 2: France had gone into the waters of Haiti with 15 warships in 1825. Friends demanded that Haiti pays them reparations for having lost their property. And so they demanded a CHF150,000,000. Speaker 5: No other country has been forced to pay their former colonizer for the loss of slaves and territory. Speaker 4: They basically put Haiti into debt on a permanent basis all through the nineteenth century, and they only finished paying it off after World War two. Speaker 1: Haiti has always been an example of something, a bad example that needed to be stopped. When Haiti became independent thirty years after The US declaration of independence, it posed a great challenge to the limitations of US democracy. Speaker 5: In 1915, US marines invaded and occupied Haiti for twenty years. They seized Haiti's gold reserves, imposed a new constitution and pressed Haitians into forced labor. Haitians rebelled, thousands died. The rebel leader, Charlemagne Prout was executed and his body put on display. The marines trained an army that supported decades of dictatorship and terror culminating in the dynasty of Papa Doc Duvalier. And his son, Baby Doc. The Duvaliers ruled for thirty years, terrorizing the population and killing 50,000 Haitians. Speaker 6: I got arrested. I got picked up by the political police back then, the SD, the service, the security. It accused me of trying to overthrow the government. It was, at the time, not a very good thing to do to question politics or question how come we have a dictator, how come the people are so poor. Speaker 5: Bobby Duval was jailed without a trial at the notorious Fort Dimanche Prison in Port Au Prince. Speaker 6: We counted. A 180 people died right in front of me and myself. I was down to ninety pounds. I had tuberculosis. I was spilling blood. You know, I was in the brink of death. Had I been one more week in that cell, I would have died. Speaker 5: During the baby doc era, The US pushed for neoliberal free market policies in Haiti. Speaker 4: The tariffs that protected Haitian agriculture are slowly being knocked away. Small farmers have a harder and harder time surviving, and so they have to go into the cities. And they're driven there by destitution, and they arrive with nothing. They're concentrated into slums, and they're obliged then to work in the new factories that develop at the same time as part of the same policy. Speaker 5: With extremely low wages and almost no taxes on business, Port Au Prince became an assembly plant destination. Speaker 4: So these are factories that are set up largely by multinationals or people contracting through multinationals to make jeans and t shirts and baseballs and things like this, and to exploit this new labor where people are forced to work literally for pennies an hour. Speaker 5: In the nineteen eighties, resistance to the Duvalier dictatorship grew. The movement became known as Lavalas, the flood. Speaker 0: People joined into this great cry for a new Haiti, a new state, a new society. The La Valas was not so much a movement to gain political power as one to be pushing forward what the people of Haiti truly wanted. Speaker 5: Facing mass protests, Baby Doc fled to his villa in France. He left the country bankrupt. After four more years of military rule, public pressure forced Haiti's first ever free elections. Speaker 1: The nineteen ninety elections were were one of the most important steps in Haiti's history because it was the first time that the majority of the population was given the right to to choose their elected leadership. Speaker 5: Jean Bertrand Aristide ran for president. He was a charismatic priest who had survived four assassination attempts. His candidacy galvanized the impoverished majority. Aristide was part of the Catholic liberation theology movement, advocating justice for the poor. Speaker 2: You have a small group of families, 15 or 20 families, who basically control the island for their own benefit, but also for the benefit of the multinational corporations. Speaker 5: The wealthy families and the US government lavishly funded Aristide's opponent, a former World Bank official. The poor turned out en masse to elect Aristide with 67% of the vote. The US backed candidate received 14%. Speaker 7: That was so great because that was for me the first time in my life experience that I could see all people from Haiti committed, like, to one thing, which is for our seed to have his chance to run the country as someone who really represented, like, the hope of this nation. It Speaker 8: was a moment of defiance because before, you never had somebody like Aristide daring to be a candidate and becoming a president. We had great hope. Speaker 4: They had a moderate plan for shifting the orientation of the economy from the rich to the poor, moderate land reform, taxations. So they began to enforce tax collection, for example. That was very unpopular with the rich, but it was popular, for example, with the IMF who gave this government quite a good write up in the 1991. Speaker 5: The government immediately came under siege by the wealthy families and the army. Speaker 2: Aristide represented a threat precisely where the economic elite cared. Speaker 4: By September, they're ready to launch a coup, which is undertaken by the army with the support of the big business families. The very first night, hundreds of people are killed, and they launch Reign of Terror that is designed to break the back of this popular movement. Speaker 5: The army seizes power seven months after Haiti's first democratic election. Aristide narrowly escapes assassination and is forced into exile. Speaker 4: The army then takes over, and for three years, for three full years, they control the country and they reorient the economy back in the old ways. Speaker 8: We never had a chance. Yes. We had an election. Yes. We voted somebody. But it's like putting a seat on the ground, you never been able to see it go because it's somebody keep coming in and stabbing it. Speaker 5: Military death squads kill 4,000 Lavalas supporters. 60,000 people flee the terror. Most are detained by the US Coast Guard at Guantanamo Bay. After three years, President Clinton negotiated Arastid's return to Haiti to halt the flood of boat people. Speaker 0: President Arastid had to accept compromises with the international community in order to stop the massacre of La Valas people. Speaker 5: Clinton forced Aristide to continue to allow The US to dump surplus rice in Haiti. This disastrously undercut Haitian farmers. Speaker 4: He comes back with his hands quite severely tied. He's forced to make some quite unpopular decisions, he is at least able to get rid of the army. Speaker 1: The biggest impact was that you removed a repressive force that was not only killing and imprisoning people that it didn't like, but was completely distorting all of Haiti's policy, including its basic electoral policy because you could not have fair elections while there was the army in place. Speaker 5: Aristide enlisted the support of the Canadian government to help train Haiti's first ever national police force. Gary Auguste was one of a 100 recruits trained by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Haiti. Speaker 8: We were asked to come to serve our country. And after our training, we were told that we're gonna change the way people see the police, Asians, to serve Haiti, serve and protect the people. Speaker 5: But The US pushed notorious ex army officers into key positions in the force. Speaker 8: You arrest someone because they committed a crime, they were supposed to be in jail until the judge make a decision. Wow. The next morning, they're out. Speaker 5: Aristide's government made some crucial reforms in spite of stiff resistance by the wealthy elite. Speaker 9: It's important to see that, in fact, their record in government was filled with very significant and remarkable accomplishments. Their agenda around issues such as education and health care, HIV AIDS, attempting to use what modest resources they had access to to deliver real programs and support for the population is very, very important. Speaker 5: The Haitian constitution bans consecutive presidential terms. Renny Praval, also part of the Lavalas movement, ran for president. Speaker 4: He was an agronomist, and he wasn't a politician, but he was somebody who was a good administrator, a man of integrity, and who had a rapport with the people. Speaker 5: Preval was elected by a wide margin. It was Haiti's first peaceful and democratic transition of power. The election of Winnie Preval put us in a Speaker 2: path that made everyone believe that we were done with this idea of coup d'etat, and that now we can focus on building the infrastructure of the country. Speaker 5: Preval increased government services in rural areas where the majority of Haitians live. The literacy rate increased by 20%, and the malnutrition rate dropped by twelve percent. Speaker 10: In eighteen o four to 1919, the state bill only 33 secondary score. During the period of Lavalas in 1990, in 02/2004, they bill one hundred and thirty eighth secondary school. This improved their right of education. Speaker 5: Tens of thousands of Haitians, many of them women, participated in a nationwide literacy program. The Clinton administration pressured Preval to privatize the remaining state owned industries and remove tariffs on US exports to Haiti. Speaker 2: What Preval did is that he dragged his feet in terms of privatization. Speaker 1: Under president Preval's first term, he did privatize a couple state owned entities, the flour mill and the cement mill. Speaker 5: Prime minister Jean Cretien began to align Canada's policy in Haiti with Clinton's neoliberal agenda. Speaker 2: After the election of Cuival, we had the constant positioning of Canada to do whatever The United States is doing in Haiti. Speaker 1: Canada withheld support to the justice system, not because the justice system wasn't improving, in fact, it was, but because they didn't like some of the economic policies of the of the Haitian government. Speaker 6: I think that the establishment of The United States has a kind of an accord with the establishment of Canada where Canada is gonna play more of a front role of trying to, I hate to say it, but dominate this country, put it bring it in line or something. Speaker 5: Aristide and the Lavalas party won a landslide majority in the two thousand elections. Speaker 1: Once it became clear to The United States and to the political elites in Haiti that the grassroots would not back down, then they felt they needed to react, that they could no longer attempt to manipulate elections, that they had to actually throw out the results of those elections. The United States government knew very well that the elections were in fact basically fair elections, but that really didn't matter because they didn't care about elections. They cared about making sure that their friends were in power. Speaker 5: Aristide was reelected as George w Bush took office. Speaker 11: What did the Bush administration do from the first day? It froze every penny of international aid. While giving it to dictatorships all over the world, It squeezed Haiti. For what purpose? To bring this guy down. For what purpose? Okay. What happens? You go into a balance of payments crisis, which they did. Right. The currency collapses, inflation soars, living standards fall, and then they say he didn't serve his people. Speaker 4: We're talking about a national budget that is somewhere in the region of 350 to $400,000,000. It's about a third of the budget for a single big hospital in a city like Boston. It's a pathetically small amount of money in a very poor country where you're trying to, you know, build up basic infrastructure and health education and the rest of it. Speaker 5: Canada also withdrew financial aid to pressure the Haitian government. In desperation, Aristide turned to the French government to redress payments France have extorted for the loss of slaves and territory. Speaker 2: Aristide went out there on a full campaign to remind the French that there is a historical debt. Aristide told friends, let's start addressing this issue of restitution to see how you can gradually return some of the funds to Haiti. Speaker 4: So it's a priority for France that this claim be discredited and that the government that's pushing it be got rid of, basically. And they become very keen on this. Speaker 5: In early two thousand and three, Canada hosted a meeting to discuss regime change in Haiti. The meeting was held at Meech Lake in Quebec. Speaker 2: High level diplomats from France, The United States, and other places. No Haitians as far as we know. And the outcome of the meeting is that Haiti must be put under UN tutelage. Irish steed must go, and Haiti must be given a new military and a new police force. Speaker 5: Transcripts of the meeting were heavily redacted. Speaker 1: The reason that it was an Ottawa initiative rather than a Washington initiative was that having it organized and backed by Canada allowed a very undemocratic initiative to coast on Canada's reputation of being more respectful of democracy. Speaker 2: We realized that there's a lot that we didn't understand yet about how Canada uses this image of good cop. Like, we're not the Americans. Therefore, we can go and do the job and not get noticed. Speaker 0: Canada was always held by Haitians to be a benign partner. And Canada had shown over the years a modicum of autonomy related to The US. But I'd say that in the last ten, twenty years, this has changed. Speaker 5: The US pressured Canada to join the coalition invading Iraq. Prime minister Jean Cretien refused. Canada ramped up funding to aid organizations willing to oppose the Haitian government. Speaker 9: The Canadian government and a number of other Canadian institutions, nongovernment groups, played a very direct and central role in this process. There was a disinformation campaign that these forces were involved in. Speaker 1: Because you had Canadian organizations that had a good reputation, that silenced a lot of the critics, within the human rights movement, within the pro democracy movement, and, progressive organizations around the world. Speaker 5: Haitian business elites stepped up their disinformation campaign. Speaker 12: But what I'm saying that I still have still has been, for me, the biggest imposter that the East the world history has ever known. Speaker 5: Reginald Bulos and Andy Apaid are prominent Haitian business leaders with many ties to The US and the old dictatorships. Speaker 7: Aristide built an occult criminal machine, Speaker 0: which is managed straight from the palace in the Ministry of Interior. Speaker 12: Presenting himself as a savior of aid, as a priest who wanted change, and basically having institutionalized structure, drug dealing, corruption, killing, and kidnap. Speaker 7: I know he's a very determined man. Harris Aristee still won't go away until he's on his knees. Speaker 1: The traditional way of getting rid of a Haitian leader who didn't follow instructions by by Haitian elites or or the international community was an army coup d'etat. And because president Darafried had demobilized the army, that was no longer possible. Speaker 5: Instead, paramilitary death squads based in the Dominican Republic began staging raids across the border with covert backing from The United States. Speaker 13: They didn't have support of the population or far from it. It was the manipulation of the international community that actually gave them the the possibility to move around the country, to get access to arms, be trained in the Dominican Republic, and then go into Haiti and start sacking the police stations and courts and killing people with indiscriminately and in total impunity. Speaker 4: You have these guys who are put into action pretty much on the contra model, attacking police stations, terrorized population, particularly in the center of the country where it's pretty remote and people are pretty defenseless. Speaker 5: The paramilitaries were led by Guy Philippe, a former officer in the Haitian army. Speaker 14: At the time, people like Andy Payne claimed that they had no links with the paramilitary forces coming from the Dominican Republic. They claimed that they were a purely nonviolent opposition. In reality, they were maintaining the links that they had always maintained with members of the death squads that had terrorized Haiti in the past and financing Guy Fili's our militaries. Speaker 5: In early two thousand and four, the paramilitary forces invaded many towns in Northern Haiti, overpowering the Haitian national police. Speaker 8: The police wasn't equipped to fight another army. They were moving toward one target to eliminate the leadership in Port Au Prince so they can take over and continue what they left off after the first coup in 1991. Speaker 0: We will not be discouraged as the first black independent country in the world. We will continue to fight in a legal way all those willing to destroy our democratic process. Speaker 6: They invented, you know, this concept of intervention, humanitarian intervention because, first of all, they demonize you. They you're a second class citizen. You cannot guide yourself. You cannot rule yourself. You're unruly, and therefore, they need to intervene for you to bring you up to the level of how to live as a human being. To me, it's a it's a it's a same old recipe, but under new ingredients, basically. That's what it is. Speaker 0: That crowd was humongous. Nobody in the press talked about it. But also that crowd, even though president Aristide was under siege, that crowd was absolutely not aggressive. People were simply saying five years. Speaker 10: But we have only one thing. Okay. We spent five five here to Palestine. After that, they can take the government by election. Speaker 5: CARICOM, a group of 14 Caribbean countries appealed to the United Nations to support Haiti. Speaker 1: They requested that the UN Security Council send an armed force to try to defend Haiti's democracy. The Security Council never responded. Speaker 5: The US and France quashed the CARICOM motion. In late February two thousand and four, The US, Canada, and France sent troops to Haiti without UN authorization. Speaker 1: They initially said that that deployment was there to protect national interests, but that was clearly not what they were doing. And the Canadian troops, for example, were securing the perimeter of the airport. The United States troops were occupying strategic points all over Haiti that had nothing to do with protecting US citizens. Speaker 0: Violence is not the way to solve our problems. Dialogue, compromise, tolerance, elections, this is what we need. My goal is to be flexible, to work with rich and poor, to work with the opposition and level us such a way to invest in health care, to invest in education, to invest in infrastructure, and have Haiti in a better situation. Speaker 15: One final very quick question. How soon does the situation need to be resolved in your mind before it becomes critical, seriously critical? Days, weeks? Speaker 0: Days. Could even say hours. Speaker 7: Thank you very much. Speaker 16: Thanks to you. Speaker 14: Alright. Let's go. Speaker 5: Before dawn, while Canadian forces lock down the airport, US special forces enter Aristide's home. Speaker 17: Saturday night, there were all kinds of rumors flying that Aristide was going to be taken out, or he was fleeing the country. Sunday morning, journalists started heading for the airport and got there just as he was being loaded into the American plane and and taken away. And then there was all confusion about that, like, what just happened? Speaker 13: Everyone wakes up and the president is in a flight to Central African Republic and no one really knows why. The US saying that Aristide actually resigned from power, which was not the case. I mean, he was removed from from office, from his country, from his home by The US and and Canada because they didn't agree with his political agenda. Speaker 5: Aristide was removed two months after the bicentennial of Haitian independence. There Speaker 2: is a racial dimension to this coup that is rarely spoken about. Haitians created their nation as a result of Africans rising up against the Europeans who have instituted a system of racial slavery. Now that's what they were celebrating in 02/2004, the end of slavery. And the international community doesn't see any problem with having white soldiers enter the residence of the black president in Haiti on that year of the bicentennial and just go with him and dump him in Africa. Speaker 1: One of the saddest aspects of the kidnapping was that everybody saw it coming. First of all, for years, had a weakening of the Haitian government, and then you had troops coming over from the Dominican Republic. But then you had troops from Canada, France, and The US just openly disembarking on a plane at Haiti's airport. And in the end, you had US troops physically kidnapping a president, and there was nothing that the Haitian government could do about it. Speaker 5: Hours after Arastid was removed, the United Nations authorized a military occupation of Haiti. Speaker 1: In a matter of a few minutes on a Sunday morning, the UN, which was not able to lift a finger to support an imperiled democracy, was able to plan a military intervention in Haiti. Speaker 5: Paramilitary forces entered Port Au Prince the day after the coup. Speaker 17: Once the rebels arrived in Port Au Prince, my fixer arranged an interview for me with Paul Arcelain. Speaker 6: See, I helped to organize this front, and I'm happy to see the result, the downfall of a dictatorship. Speaker 17: What I discovered was that they had been in cahoots with the Canadian politicians to plan this entire thing. He told me, oh yeah, he had recently been in Ottawa and met with Pierre Pettigrew, who was the minister of intergovernmental affairs. And he pulled out Pierre Pettigrew's business card and showed it to me and said, when we were at his office, he gave me his card. What I had been fed all along by the Canadian government was in fact not true. This coup was basically backed by Ottawa. Speaker 15: Certain voices speak of the circumstances of mister Arajeet's departure as constituting a form of coup d'etat. Mister speaker, this was not a coup d'etat. This was the Security Council of the United Nations acting with the highest authority of the charter to restore order. Speaker 18: Are we going to say we have a right to determine what elected officials should be removed and which ones should be allowed to stay? I don't support that. Speaker 19: The fact of the matter is that president Aristide was elected as president with the support of well over 80% of the people of Haiti. Speaker 16: When do we move into another country? When in fact are we party to regime change, which we have been now? Speaker 19: When did The United States, when did France, indeed, did Canada take under itself the power to decide which democratically elected leader should be overthrown? Speaker 2: It's not just Irish dean who was overthrown. It's the whole of government, including the legislative branch. Speaker 17: We do a very good job of selling ourselves as defenders of human rights and democracy, and so it's very hard for Canadians to believe that Canada would be involved in such an underhanded, sly operation as this. It Speaker 8: was too obvious that the same guys who were killing after the first coup is back again killing after the second coup. It's a repetition. Speaker 1: There was significant bloodshed in Haiti. The city morgue had 1,000 unclaimed bodies in the month of March, and they said most of those were victims of violence. And that was only victims of violence in Port Au Prince whose bodies were not recovered by friends or families. Speaker 9: That violence and repression did not get reported, including by the same nongovernment organizations that were really screaming bloody murder about the supposed human rights record of the Aristide government, they suddenly went silent. Speaker 13: At the time, there was like a veil of secrecy on what was going in Haiti, and very few actors actually were trying to break that veil and raise their voices. Speaker 5: Days after the coup, Gerard La Tortue, a former World Bank official, was installed as prime minister. His regime was immediately recognized by The US, Canada, and France, but not by the CARICOM countries, the African Union, or the US Congressional Black Caucus. Speaker 2: As soon as the coup took place, La Tourchette came and declared that the French don't need to worry about restitution, and they don't owe any anything to the Haitians anymore. Speaker 5: La Tortue ridiculed the reparations claim and declared a three year tax holiday for business. He quickly canceled scores of Lavalas programs, including school meals, the literacy campaign, and even the distribution of iodized salt. Speaker 14: The whole Canadian government was engaged in a massive public relations campaign in support of Gerard L'Etortue's government, and this at a time when it was committing atrocious human rights abuses. Speaker 20: Prime Minister L'Etortue was extremely pleased with the support Canada has already given. He started the meeting by expressing his immense gratitude to the people of Canada and to the government of Canada, and he knows that we will continue to respond to the needs of the population here. Speaker 14: So whereas the democratically elected government of Lavalas had its funding reduced to almost nothing, when LACART two comes to power, the aid tap is turned on. Speaker 2: What we find ironic is that, this display of generosity happens so visibly after a coup. Whereas every time Haiti has a legitimate government, we don't see that kind of display of solidarity. Speaker 5: Three months later, troops from Canada, The US and France were replaced by a United Nations military and police force called Manusta. Speaker 17: This is the first time we've seen the UN move into a country where there's been a coup staged by other countries, and then the UN goes in to maintain calm afterwards because the people are furious that their democratically elected leader has been taken out of the country by force by other countries. Like, it's just I don't think I can't think of any other place where that has ever happened. And it's shocking that it it's not questioned. Speaker 5: Minusta imposed armed control of neighborhoods that had supported the Lavalas government. Speaker 1: What the multinational force was doing, they would secure a perimeter which would then allow the Haitian police or gang to go in and do the killing. The presence of the multinational troops would prevent any help from coming in to the Lavalas supporters who were being massacred. Speaker 8: They were dead squad. They will just come and take you and then you're dead. You disappeared. So you don't protest, so you don't speak up. Speaker 5: Canadian police trainers were back in Haiti, training police officers for a force that routinely hunted down Lavalas supporters. Speaker 1: The RCMP would try to take some distance by saying, oh, we're just doing training, we're not doing operations. But at some point, if you are training groups that are systematically killing, you need to take some responsibility. Speaker 14: The Haitian National Police have freedom of movement and and their own will to behave or not behave properly. Speaker 13: What's difficult to to grasp is that their personnel were assisting the Haitian National Police to do whatever they wanted in in those communities. Just Speaker 5: after a wave of police violence, Canadian prime minister Paul Martin visited Haiti in support of the La Tortue regime. Speaker 14: Martin made the astonishing declaration that there were no political prisoners in Haiti. At the time, Haiti's jail was absolutely packed with political prisoners. Speaker 5: The Justice and Peace Commission of the Catholic Church estimated there were 700 political prisoners in Haiti. Speaker 1: When prime minister Martin in the 2004 said that there were no political prisoners in Haiti, that undermined the the efforts by human rights advocates and pro democracy activists in Haiti and abroad to try to bring an end to the repression. Speaker 5: People in City Soleil, a stronghold of Lavalas support in Port Au Prince, tried to protect themselves. Speaker 0: The people organized themselves so not as to live another nightmare had they had during the first coup. Speaker 5: The Haitian elite framed all resistance to the police and minusta as the work of gangs. Speaker 12: 250,000 people are still living under the terror of gang leaders and gang institutions. It's an outrage that the minusta has taken so long to do anything about citizenship. Speaker 0: That resistance irritated the the the moneyed people, and they were pressuring minister military force to go and attack city Soleil with their full military might. Speaker 13: The killings, the rapes that were committed from 2004 to 02/2006, and no one has been brought to trial. There's a total impunity. Speaker 5: Quasi democratic elections were held in 2006 in a climate of fear and repression. They were financed by The US, Canada, and the European Union. Candidates from the Fanmi Lavalas Party were not allowed to run for office. Speaker 1: Excluding the Lavalas party is tantamount to, in Canada, excluding the Liberals from an election. But Speaker 5: paramilitary leader Guy Philippe was allowed to run for president, even though he had been responsible for multiple killings. Big business families also had their candidates. Speaker 9: Like I said, Haitians are very, very smart people. They know they wanna be like me. Speaker 0: Okay? Speaker 6: Mhmm. Yep. Speaker 9: I think that Speaker 15: democracy is is a flower that you have to retain all the time. Speaker 9: At the end of the day, we don't wanna live Speaker 15: with the nostalgia of the past. Speaker 14: Denis Croder participated in many different delegations to Haiti, which is in and of itself significant because it implies a diplomatic recognition of a regime that had been installed through an illegitimate process, an unconstitutional coup d'etat. On many occasions, he said explicitly when talking to the press, you know, this is in order to bolster the political legitimacy and to to signal Canada's recognition of this regime. Speaker 12: Mister Deniko there has come here 11 times. And every time they fought for, it's kind of that will kick back and say, we put some more money there. Speaker 5: There were 35 presidential candidates in 2,006, but little interest in the election until former president Rene Preval entered the race. Preval ran with a new party circumventing the exclusion of Lavalas. There was a large voter turnout, but Preval polled just short of the 50% needed for an outright win. Days after the election, thousands of ballots marked for Preval were found in the Port Au Prince dump. Mass demonstrations broke out. UN officials were forced to reexamine the vote. Rene Preval was declared president for a second term. Praval's room to govern, like Aristides, was severely limited by The United States. Speaker 2: Pravel kind of played this dance with the Americans and the Europeans. You know, thanks to WikiLeaks, we now can read some of what was happening behind the scenes in a way that they never actually trusted him. Multinational corporations operating in Haiti basically control the island to maintain what they call Haiti's comparative advantage. That is cheap labor. So if there's demonstration in Mexico, then we can always tell them, well, you know, we might just pack up and go to Haiti. Speaker 5: Preval sought Canadian assistance to develop basic services and governance skills. But most Canadian aid bypassed the Haitian government and went instead to nongovernment agencies and corporations. Speaker 21: This morning, I saw firsthand the progress achieved on the security front during a visit to Cite Soleil. It's gratifying to see Canadian aid achieving real results for the long suffering people of that community. Speaker 5: Canada made it a priority to build police garrisons and prisons, even though 70% of Haitian prisoners have never had a trial. Speaker 10: We don't need prison in Haiti, but we need more a system who respect the rule of law. How the Carnegie people can help us to do that. That's why we're looking for, not for prisons. Speaker 16: When the earthquake hit, I was in the basement of a little office building, and the building began to crack apart. The noise is horrendous. We got out onto the street afterwards. The streets were blocked by rubble, collapsed walls, collapsed buildings. People immediately began digging the survivors out of the rubble, and they laid them in the street because there was nowhere else to put them. Because the hospitals, so many had collapsed, people began to call together little bits of first aid bandages, antiseptic, and set up clinics all over the city. 26 of the 30 main government ministry buildings collapsed. One in four civil servants died. And the already weak government was totally incapacitated. I wondered if my friends were alive. And you're stepping over bodies, trying not to step on the bodies in the darkness. You know, you're trying to see what's there. There's clouds of dust in the street. People are screaming. People are some people are singing to try and get through it. It was eerie. It was terrible. After the quake, The US stepped in to take control of the airport, but they gave a huge priority to setting up their own camp and making a virtual garrison. Almost no aid was coming out. On day five, we got word we could get the medical supplies for the airport. But when I got in, I couldn't get permission from the Canadian troops to take the antiseptics and antibiotics and bandages that all the clinics in the city had completely run out of at this point. I couldn't get permission to take it out. They told me to call Ottawa. Thousands of people across the city were dying for lack of what was piling up inside that compound, and we couldn't get it done. Speaker 22: Give us an idea of what what your day was like today. What are the kinds of things that you're doing down there to help the Haitians? Speaker 23: More and more what we're finding is people are running out of water altogether or using water of lower and lower quality. Speaker 22: And why is that, Dave? You think by now, ten days in, that, they'd start addressing some of those issues. What have the problems been that you've seen? Speaker 23: Well, there's just been no major aid on the ground. Speaker 22: UN officials keep saying it's gonna get out, but clearly it's not getting out fast enough. Speaker 23: This is day 10. This is day 10 since the earthquake. Speaker 5: Most poor areas of the city were off limits to major aid organizations because the US State Department had designated them as high risk zones. Speaker 16: What was the origin of these zones? Who decided that these people are too dangerous to be helped or so dangerous that even major aid organizations have to stay away? Who got aid? Who lived and who died after the quake? Because when that aid didn't get to the injured people especially, they'd die by the hundreds, by the thousands. Speaker 24: There was such an expectation that the country was going to erupt in in violence. Speaker 5: Jonathan Montpetit bunked in with Canadian troops at the Port Au Prince Airport. Speaker 24: Canadian government officials were anxious about the possibility that Aristide would return from exile and foment an uprising in the midst of the chaos following following the earthquake. This fear that Irish deed was gonna return and create a revolution in the wake of the earthquake is so far from reality, so far from the minds of Haitians who were simply trying to survive, simply trying to make it from one day to the next. The fear of instability after the earthquake made it so that thousands of people died needlessly. Speaker 5: The earthquake killed more than two hundred thousand people. Ten months after the earthquake, UN troops dumped their sewage into Haiti's main river system, introducing cholera. Speaker 16: The cholera was a terrible blow coming so soon after the earthquake. And it hit the poor the hardest. They didn't have clean water, poor sanitation. One day, you'd be working with somebody, and the next day, they were dead. It was terrifying. And then on top of that, the UN didn't acknowledge responsibility for the cholera, and people were angry about it. Speaker 5: The international community insisted that elections go ahead in late twenty ten. Speaker 16: People were dying every day from the cholera. Some days, hundreds of people and all over the country. And in the middle of this, the priority is elections. They couldn't postpone the elections. It just made no sense. Speaker 5: The US and Canada again financed the elections. Lavalas was again blocked from running candidates. Speaker 2: The excuse was that as head of the party, Irish state, he's not there to sign in the papers to say that the party is registered for the election. Speaker 5: Michel Martley, a fading pop singer, ran for president. He was bankrolled by several wealthy families. Martley posed as a political outsider, though he had strong ties to the old dictatorships. Those Speaker 8: guys who was willing to bring us back, those things we rejected already. Speaker 0: Martell is saying they will reconstitute the army is totally in accordance with their vision to keep these poor people who form about 90% and more of the population at bay, keep them under control and out of making political decisions. Speaker 5: During the election, Praval invited Aristide back from seven years in exile in South Africa over the objection of The US and Canada. Speaker 0: Aristide is a threat not because of his personality, even his ideology. He's a threat because he symbolizes the type of democracy that Haitian people want where they have their say. And I'm not going to say here that president Aristide was the best leader we could have had, but that's it. Democracy is that you evaluate your leadership and you change it through the ballot. What happened was that this leadership was changed by a powerful minority within the country allied to neo colonial countries. That's what happened. And we haven't been better off since as is so self evident. Speaker 5: Since returning to Haiti, Aristide's freedom of movement has been severely curtailed because of threats to his life. Baby doc Duvalier also returned to Haiti during the election. The US and Canada did not object to his return. In the first election round, Martley lacked the votes to advance him to the two candidate runoff. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton flew to Haiti, overrode the Haitian Electoral College, and forced Martley onto the final ballot. Speaker 2: You had Hillary Clinton say it's Michelle Martley who has to go to the second round, And lo and behold, Michele Martelly becomes president of Haiti. Speaker 25: It is a great pleasure and an honor for me to welcome the president-elect to the state department on behalf of the United States government and to formally congratulate president-elect Martelli on his victory in the election. Speaker 13: The international community again was involved not just paying for the election, but also involved in proclaiming Martellus the elected president of Haiti. Speaker 2: That's total lack of respect. By doing this, we are back into a colonial era where foreigners are choosing who runs the colony on their behalf. Speaker 5: Marshley began to revive the army that Aristide had disbanded. And he welcomed Jean Claude de Valier to state functions. Speaker 0: The Martellus administration very clearly wants to turn back the clock, go back to the good old time, you know, when the repression kept everybody in check. His hero is Francois Duvalier. Speaker 6: People have been so disillusioned. We've seen slowly and surely the return back of the arbitrary life and arbitrary leadership that has been just bringing down the country completely down to hell. There's a lot of corruption and very little socioeconomic development. Speaker 13: Another issue of concern is the human rights defenders in Haiti that are being harassed, threatened, detained. Journalists are being attacked for criticizing the government, and this is a government that is backed by the international community. Speaker 5: Martley, as head of the bald headed party, anointed Jovenal Moyes as his successor. Speaker 14: Are going back to this kind of undemocratic period where, the elections don't reflect the will of the people and where the government increasingly rules by force. Speaker 0: By instilling this sense of powerlessness and despair. We are in a situation today that in my years of political activism, I've never seen a moment so scary. The popular movement has taken some serious hits, and now it is almost unable to form a real common front. Speaker 6: It's just like history revisited where we have more or less of a situation where they're forcing down our throat a candidate, Jovenel Moiz, who has become in the popular imagination the banana man because he's producing bananas. Speaker 10: And Speaker 6: now the Haitian people very spontaneously, man, they are really intent on pushing that down our throat, that banana. Speaker 5: Moiz won the corruption plague twenty fifteen election and the election rerun-in 2016. Only 20% of the Haitian electorate voted. Speaker 2: All these sham elections that have taken place in recent years, Haitians are well aware that they are not our candidates. And so it seems like there is a struggle that never stops in Haiti. The fundamental thing that you observe when you go to Haiti is that there is social injustice at a level that is simply unacceptable, and that injustice is precisely what the nation was created to fight. Racial slavery is about a small group of people controlling all the resources. So now, two hundred years after the end of that system, you end up with a small group controlling all the resources of the island. Speaker 9: This story is so important for Canadians to come to terms with because I think we'd like to think that our government, our institutions are actually playing an empowering and a supportive role for the establishment of a more meaningful democracy. Fighting poverty, building social programs for people. But unfortunately, if you look carefully at the record, I think that's exactly what's not happening. Speaker 0: The Canadian people are kept deliberately ignorant of the Haitian reality. They see the misery and they respond to the suffering, but they do not address the role of their own government in this suffering. Speaker 14: Today, Denis Coder still refers to himself as a friend of Haiti, and he really hasn't paid any price for his involvement in the coup d'etat. Do you feel you owe Haiti an apology for your role in Canada's policy in Haiti? Speaker 6: No. Canada was there to to Speaker 8: Haiti is Haitian. It's a country. It's an independent place. Yes. We are poor. We don't have enough, but we never had a chance to express our richness. Speaker 2: The same democracy that people enjoy in North America, that's what Haitians trying to have as their own. Speaker 10: The Speaker 17: solution is actually very simple, you know, to allow them to have the leadership that they want and to direct their own lives, but I don't think I'll ever understand why our government and the American government won't let that happen. Speaker 2: It's not like every Haitian want to become millionaire tomorrow. They just want tomorrow to have access to hot meal in day. They want tomorrow to have access to pure water and basic education for the children. This, you cannot wash it from the mind. Speaker 0: It's the ancient dream that is reappearing in another form because the slaves, they were fighting not only for the end of slavery, but they were fighting for freedom, equality, and brotherhood. We got the the the freedom from slavery, but the rest we didn't get. And the cry for democracy now is the new definition of the old Haitian dream.

I found it satisfying to see JD Vance confront a room of Eurocrats in Munich, calling out their so-called democracy as a "fake casino" where they disregard any unfavorable outcomes. He hinted at the EU's measures against "left-wing populists," possibly alluding to figures like Sara Wagenknecht and Jeremy Corbyn. However, it was disappointing that he didn't acknowledge the many antiwar and Palestine solidarity activists who have faced arrest and persecution for their political views by EU and British authorities.

@MaxBlumenthal - Max Blumenthal

JD Vance may have been representing a reactionary position in Munich, but it was still satisfying to see a room full of warmongering Eurocrats told to their faces that they are presiding over a fake casino democracy in which the house cancels any result it doesn't like. He even made a passing reference to the EU's firewall against "left-wing populists," which could be read as a reference to Sara Wagenknecht and Jeremy Corbyn. Of course, Vance could not and would not mention the droves of antiwar and Palestine solidarity activists who have been arrested and persecuted at the hands of EU and British authorities for their political speech.

Democracy is based on the principle that the voices of the people must be heard and cannot be silenced - The surest way to destroy democracy is to ignore the people - “In Washington there is a new sheriff in town and under Donald Trump's leadership we may disagree with your views but we will fight to defend your right to offer it in the public square agree or disagree.”

It's great to be back in Germany, a place I've always loved. My heart goes out to Munich after yesterday's attack; we're thinking of you and praying for you. We're here to talk about security, but the biggest threat to Europe isn't external, it's internal. It's the retreat from our shared values. We see European courts canceling elections and officials threatening to do the same. We need to live our democratic values, not just talk about them. I worry when I see the EU wanting to shut down social media or countries like Sweden punishing people for offending religious groups, or the UK prosecuting silent prayer. The Trump administration will defend your right to speak your mind. Don't be afraid of your own voters. Listen to them, even when you disagree. That's the magic of democracy.

Speaker 0: Well, thank you. And, thanks to all the, the gathered delegates and luminaries and media professionals. And, thanks thanks especially to the host of the Munich Security Conference, for being able to to put on such an incredible event. We're, of course, thrilled to be here. We're happy to be here. And, you know, one of the things that I wanted to to talk about today is, of course, our shared values. And, you know, it's it's great to be back in Germany. As as you heard earlier, I was here last year as United States Senator. I saw, foreign minister excuse me, foreign secretary David Lamian joke that both of us last year had different jobs than we have now. But now it's time, for all of our countries, for all of those who have been fortunate enough to be given political power by our respective peoples to use it wisely to improve their lives. And I wanna say that, you know, I I was fortunate in my time here to spend some time outside the walls of this conference over the last twenty four hours, and I've been so impressed by the hospitality of the people even as, of course, as they're reeling from yesterday's horrendous attack. And the first time I was ever in Munich was with was with my wife, actually, who's here with me today, on a personal trip. And I've always loved the city of Munich, and I've always loved its people. And I just want to say that we're very moved and our thoughts and prayers are with Munich and everybody affected by the evil and inflicted on this beautiful community. We're thinking about you. We're praying for you, and we will certainly be rooting for you in the days and weeks to come. Now I I hope that's not the last bit of applause that I get, but we we gather at this conference, of course, to discuss security. And normally, we mean threats to our external security. I see many many great military leaders gathered here today. But while the Trump administration is very concerned with European security and believes that we can come to a reasonable settlement between Russia and Ukraine, and we also believe that it's important in the coming years for Europe to step up in a big way to provide for its own defense. The threat that I worry the most about vis a vis Europe is not Russia, it's not China, it's not any other external actor. And what I worry about is the threat from within, the retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values, values shared with The United States Of America. Now I was struck that a a former European commissioner went on television recently and sounded delighted that the Romanian government had just annulled an entire election. He warned that if things don't go to plan, the very same thing could happen in Germany too. Now these cavalier statements are shocking to American ears. For years, we've been told that everything we fund and support is in the name of our shared democratic values. Everything from our Ukraine policy to digital censorship is billed as a defense of democracy. But when we see European courts canceling elections and senior officials threatening to cancel others, we ought to ask whether we're holding ourselves to an appropriately high standard. And I say ourselves because I fundamentally believe that we are on the same team. We must do more than talk about democratic values. We must live them. Now within living memory of many of you in this room, the Cold War positioned defenders of democracy against much more tyrannical forces on this continent. And consider the side in that fight that censored dissidents, that closed churches, that canceled elections. Were they the good guys? Certainly not. And thank God they lost the cold war. They lost because they neither valued nor respected all of the extraordinary blessings of liberty. The freedom to surprise, to make mistakes, to invent, to build. As it turns out, you can't mandate innovation or creativity, just as you can't force people what to think, what to feel, or what to believe. And we believe those things are certainly connected. And unfortunately, when I look at Europe today, it's sometimes not so clear what happened to some of the cold war's winners. I look to Brussels where EU commissars warn citizens that they intend to shut down social media during times of civil unrest the moment they spot what they've judged to be, quote, hateful content. Or to this very country where police have carried out raids against citizens suspected of posting anti feminist comments online as part of, quote, combating misogyny on the Internet, a day of action. I look to Sweden, where two weeks ago the government convicted a Christian activist for participating in Quran burnings that resulted in his friend's murder. And as the judge in his case chillingly noted, Sweden's laws to supposedly protect free expression do not in fact grant, and I'm quoting, a free pass to do or say anything without risking offending the group that holds that belief. And perhaps most concerningly, I look to our very dear friends The United Kingdom, where the backslide away from conscience rights has placed the basic liberties of religious Britons in particular in the crosshairs. A little over two years ago, the British government charged Adam Smith Connor, a 51 year old physiotherapist and an army veteran, with the heinous crime of sanding 50 meters from an abortion clinic and silently praying for three minutes. Not obstructing anyone, not interacting with anyone, just silently praying on his own. And after British law enforcement spotted him and demanded to know what he was praying for, Adam replied simply, it was on behalf of the unborn son he and his former girlfriend had aborted years before. Now the officers were not moved. Adam was found guilty of breaking the government's new buffer zones law, which criminalizes silent prayer and other actions that could influence a person's decision within 200 meters of an abortion facility. He was sentenced to pay thousands of pounds in legal costs to the prosecution. Now I wish I could say that this was a fluke, a one off crazy example of a badly written law being enacted against a single person. But no. This last October, just a few months ago, the Scottish government began distributing letters to citizens whose houses lay within so called safe access zones, warning them that even private prayer within their own homes may amount to breaking the law. Naturally, the government urged readers to report any fellow citizens suspected guilty of thought crime. In Britain and across Europe, free speech, I fear, is in retreat. And in the interest of comedy, my friends, but also in the interest of truth, I will admit that sometimes the loudest voices for censorship have come not from within Europe, but from within my own country, where the prior administration threatened and bullied social media companies to censor so called misinformation. Misinformation like, for example, the idea that coronavirus had likely leaked from leaked from a laboratory in China. Our own government encouraged private companies to silence people who dared to utter what turned out to be an obvious truth. So I come here today not just with an observation, but with an offer. And just as the Biden administration seemed desperate to silence people for speaking their minds, so the Trump administration will do precisely the opposite, and I hope that we can work together on that. In Washington, there is a new sheriff in town. And under Donald Trump's leadership, we may disagree with your views, but we will fight to defend your right to offer it in the public square. Agree or disagree? Now we're at the point, of course, that the the situation has gotten so bad that this December, Romania straight up canceled the results of a presidential election based on the flimsy suspicions of an intelligence agency and enormous pressure from its continental neighbors. Now, as I understand it, the argument was that Russian disinformation had infected the Romanian elections. But I'd ask my European friends to have some perspective. You can believe it's wrong for Russia to buy social media advertisements to influence your elections. We certainly do. You can condemn it on the world stage even. But if your democracy can be destroyed with a few hundred thousand dollars of digital advertising from a foreign country, then it wasn't very strong to begin with. Now the good news is that I happen to think your democracies are substantially less brittle than many people apparently fear. And I really do believe that allowing our citizens to speak their mind will make them stronger still, which, of course, brings us back to Munich, where the organizers of this very conference have banned lawmakers representing populist parties on both the left and the right from participating in these conversations. Now again, we don't have to agree with everything or anything that people say. But when people represent, when political leaders represent an important constituency, it is incumbent upon us to at least participate in dialogue with them. Now to many of us on the other side of the Atlantic, it looks more and more like old entrenched interests hiding behind ugly Soviet era words like misinformation and disinformation, who simply don't like the idea that somebody with an alternative viewpoint might express a different opinion or, God forbid, vote a different way or, even worse, win an election. Now this is a security conference, and I'm sure you all came here prepared to talk about how exactly you intend to increase defense spending over the next few years in line with some new target. And that's great. Because as president Trump has made abundantly clear, he believes that our European friends must play a bigger role in the future of this continent. We don't think you hear this term burden sharing, but we think it's an important part of being in a shared alliance together that the Europeans step up while America focuses on areas of the world that are in great danger. But let me also ask you, how will you even begin to think through the kinds of budgeting questions if we don't know what it is that we are defending in the first place? I've heard a lot already in my conversations, and I've had many many great conversations with many people gathered here in this room. I've heard a lot about what you need to defend yourselves from, and of course that's important. But what has seemed a little bit less clear to me, and certainly I think to many of the citizens of Europe, is what exactly it is that you're defending yourselves for. What is the positive vision that animates this shared security compact that we all believe is so important. And I believe deeply that there is no security if you are afraid of the voices, the opinions, and the conscience that guide your very own people. Europe faces many challenges, but the crisis this continent faces right now, the crisis I believe we all face together is one of our own making. If you're running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing America can do for you, nor for that matter is there anything that you can do for the American people who elected me and elected president Trump. You need democratic mandates to accomplish anything of value in the coming years. Have we learned nothing that thin mandates produce unstable results? But there is so much of value that can be accomplished with the kind of democratic mandate that I think will come from being more responsive to the voices of your citizens. If you're going to enjoy competitive economies, if you're going to enjoy affordable energy and secure supply chains, then you need mandates to govern, because you have to make difficult choices to enjoy all of these things. And of course, we know that very well in America. You cannot win a democratic mandate by censoring your opponents or putting them in jail, whether that's the leader of the opposition, a humble Christian praying in her own home, or a journalist trying to report the news. Nor can you win one by disregarding your basic electorate on questions like who gets to be a part of our shared society. Like who gets to be a part of our shared society. And of all the pressings, challenges that the nations represented here face, I believe there is nothing more urgent than mass migration. Today, almost one in five people living in this country moved here from abroad. That is, of course, an all time high. It's a similar number, by the way, in The United States, also an all time high. The number of immigrants who entered the EU from non EU countries doubled between 2021 and 2022 alone. And, of course, it's gotten much higher since. And we know this situation, it didn't materialize in a vacuum. It's the result of a series of conscious decisions made by politicians all over the continent and others across the world over the span of a decade. We saw the horrors wrought by these decisions yesterday in this very city. And, of course, I can't bring it up again without thinking about the terrible victims who had a a beautiful winter day in Munich ruined. Our thoughts and prayers are with them and will remain with them. But why did this happen in the first place? It's a terrible story, but it's one we've heard way too many times in Europe and unfortunately too many times in The United States as well. An asylum seeker, often a young man in his mid twenties, already known to police, rams a car into a crowd and shatters a community. How many times must we suffer these appalling setbacks before we change course and take our shared civilization in a new direction. No voter on this continent went to the ballot box to open the floodgates to millions of unvetted immigrants, but you know what they did vote for? In England, they voted for Brexit. And agree or disagree, they voted for it. And more and more all over Europe, they're voting for political leaders who promise to put an end to out of control migration. Now I happen to agree with a lot of these concerns, but you don't have to agree with me. I just think that people care about their homes. They care about their dreams. They care about their safety and their capacity to provide for themselves and their children, and they're smart. I think this is one of the most important things I've learned in my brief time in politics. Contrary to what you might hear a couple mountains over in Davos, the citizens of all of our nations don't generally think of themselves as educated animals or as interchangeable cogs of a global economy, and it's hardly surprising that they don't wanna be shuffled about or relentlessly ignored by their leaders. It is the business of democracy to adjudicate these big questions at the ballot box. I believe that dismissing people, dismissing their concerns, or worse yet shutting down media, shutting down elections, or shutting peep people out of the political process protects nothing. In fact, it is the most surefire way to destroy democracy. And speaking up and expressing opinions isn't election interference, even when people express views outside your own country and even when those people are very influential. And trust me, I say this with all humor. If American democracy can survive ten years of Greta Thunberg's scolding, you guys can survive a few months of Elon Musk. But what German democracy what no democracy, American, German, or European will survive is telling millions of voters that their thoughts and concerns, their aspirations, their pleas for relief are invalid or unworthy of even being considered. Democracy rests on the sacred principle that the voice of the people matters. There's no room for firewalls. You either uphold the principle or you don't. Europeans, the people, have a voice. European leaders have a choice. And my strong belief is that we do not need to be afraid of the future. You can embrace what your people tell you even when it's surprising, even when you don't agree. And if you do so, you can face the future with certainty and with confidence knowing that the nation stands behind each of you. And that to me is the great magic of democracy. It's not in these stone buildings or beautiful hotels. It's not even in the great institutions that we have built together as a shared society. To believe in democracy is to understand that each of our citizens has wisdom and has a voice. And if we refuse to listen to that voice, even our most successful fights will secure very little. As Pope John Paul the second, in my view, one of the most extraordinary champions of democracy on this continent or any other once said, do not be afraid. We shouldn't be afraid of our people even when they express views that disagree with their leadership. Thank you all. Good luck to all of you. God bless you.

For the first time, a national US audience heard about one of the greatest natsec scandals in the 21st century, as Tulsi Gabbard detailed the CIA’s Op Timber Sycamore, which armed the org responsible for 9/11, and ultimately placed it in power in Syria https://t.co/W0iFNUD7fu

Video Transcript AI Summary
Senator Kelly questioned Colonel Gabbard about her past statements regarding U.S. support for terrorist groups in Syria, referencing her claims that the U.S. was aiding Al Qaeda while attempting to overthrow the Assad regime. Gabbard expressed her shock at learning about President Obama's programs that armed groups aligned with Al Qaeda, highlighting the consequences of regime change wars in the Middle East. She noted that, while she does not support the Assad regime, the current leadership in Syria consists of Islamist extremists who persecute religious minorities. Gabbard emphasized the importance of Americans knowing that their government was supporting Al Qaeda, asserting that this should be unacceptable.

Speaker 0: Senator Kelly. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Colonel Gabbard, when Russia was denying its use of chemical weapons, they accused the US of supporting terrorists. This is a line that Putin used frequently during the Syrian civil war as he supported Assad. Syrian officials made similar comments, they did it repeatedly, they did it in public, they did it at the United Nations. In 2016, you gave an interview in which you said, and this is a quote, the US is providing direct and indirect support to terrorist groups in order to overthrow the Syrian government. And in 2019, on the democratic presidential debate stage, you said of President Trump, this is a quote, this current president is continuing to betray us. We were supposed to be going after Al Qaeda, but over years now, not only have we not gone after Al Qaeda, our president is supporting Al Qaeda. So I'm interested to hear what was your goal in saying these things, and did you consider, before saying them, the motives of Iran and Russia, what their motives might have been before making these claims? Speaker 1: Senator, as as someone who enlisted in the military specifically because of Al Qaeda's terrorist attack on 9:11 and committing myself and my life to doing what I could to defeat these terrorists. It was shocking and a betrayal to me and every person who was killed on 911, their families, and my brothers and sisters in uniform. When as a member of Congress, I learned about President Obama's, dual programs that he had begun, really to overthrow the regime of Syria, and being willing to, through the CIA's Timber Sycamore program that has now been made public, of working with and arming and equipping Al Qaeda in an effort to overthrow that regime, starting yet another regime change war in the Middle East. DOD train and equip program, again, begun under president Obama, is widely been known, looked at, and studied that ultimately resulted in over half a $1,000,000,000 being used to train who they called moderate rebels, but were actually fighters working with and aligned with Al Qaeda's affiliate on the ground in Syria. All to move forward with their regime change and not acknowledging what was obvious at the time and what has unfortunately born true, which was that a regime change war in Syria, much like the regime change wars in Iraq, the toppling of Gaddafi and Mubarak, while these are all dictators would result in the rise of Islamist extremists like Al Qaeda taking power. I shed no tears for the fall of the Assad regime, but today we have an Islamist extremist who is now in charge of Syria, as I said, who danced on the streets to celebrate the 9/11 attack, who ruled over Idlib with an Islamist extremist governance, and who has already begun to persecute and kill and arrest religious minorities like Christians in Syria. I understand. Why that should be acceptable to anyone is beyond me. That should Speaker 0: certainly not be an honest answer. I appreciate your answer and and and thank you. My concern has to do with the tendency to repeat Russian and Syrian, and even in some cases, I think we'll get into in the closed session, Iranian information and to discount what comes from our intelligence community. Speaker 1: Senator, every American deserves to know that people in our own government were providing support to our sworn enemy, Al Qaeda. That should not be acceptable by anyone. Speaker 0: Thank thank you.

At the Inaugural Peace Ball, Rep. @CoriBush tells journalist @mtracey she voted to fund the Ukraine proxy war with billions in US taxpayer money because the Biden admin warned her "Black and brown bodies" from the US would have had to fight if Ukraine was not fully armed https://t.co/9GEtMfZjIi

Video Transcript AI Summary
At the Peace Ball, a discussion arose about the contradiction between advocating for peace and the Democrats' support for funding Ukraine, which involves significant military aid amidst a devastating war. Concerns were raised about the casualties and the lack of critical evaluation of this policy. The response highlighted that the Biden administration framed the situation as a means to prevent U.S. troop deployment to Ukraine, particularly to protect marginalized communities. The focus was on supporting bills to deter Russian aggression rather than directly supplying munitions. The conversation emphasized the complexity of the issue and the importance of considering the implications for affected communities.

Speaker 0: You mentioned in your speech earlier at this event that we're at the Peace Ball. We wanna basically, advocating for a general movement of peace. I'm wondering how you relate that to the issue of Ukraine because it seems like the Democrats in Congress were virtually united actually, 100% united in funding Ukraine, which whether you like it or not, that does involve sending a giant amount of munitions and weapons and armaments into a hugely destructive war where you have 100 of thousands of casualties, Russians and Ukrainians piling up in the battlefield. And the only criticism was coming from a section of Republicans. So is there any little any contradiction, do you think, in terms of you calling for peace or Democrats calling for peace and not being able not being willing to at all reevaluate the policy on Ukraine, which has really been extremely catastrophic. It's it's some of the most brutal warfare since World War 1, like, a 100 years ago. And democrats, from my perspective, just to be honest with you, have been very missing in action in kinda critically evaluating that policy and just going along with it, whatever the Biden Harris administration wanted in terms of weapons. Really? What about diplomacy? What about some other option rather than just dumping endless weapons into into Ukraine. Is is that fair, do you think? Speaker 1: I think the other part of that though is, the threat of US troops by the masses moving to the ground, was a very real thing. At least that's how it was presented. It had been presented to us in congress. And for me, Presented by who? Presented by the administration that, you know, that that would be a very real thing, you know. So our so did we want to keep US troops from having to go, to Ukraine? You know? So that was the that was the thing that people were weighing. Speaker 0: So the White House present just to clarify, the White House, the Biden White House presented the issue to you as if you don't supply the weapons that they say are required, that could that could involve the that that might mean that US troops would have to go into the combat? Speaker 1: If we don't not not saying that if we don't supply the weapons, it was if if you all don't support if you all don't support these bills, then that could be the outcome. And so for many, and I can't speak for everyone, but the question, when I look at my own district when I look at my own district, and I think about those who, who often are the ones who end up, with the least amount of help, the least amount of of services, often don't have what they need when they return back. I wanted to support my my community, in that. So that's what that was about, making sure that, we weren't sending the same the black and brown bodies to go and do this bidding, and then using our using the the the money and the resources to go and do that. I can't speak for everyone, but I know that that was what some people that was some people were thinking. And so I can't like I said, I can't speak for everyone. I didn't have those conversations, but that was just a very real thing. So Let Speaker 0: me clarify one thing. Mhmm. Sorry. I forgot to put my microphone in my face. Your thinking at the time, you know, when these appropriation bills came forward in terms of arms for Ukraine, was that in by approving arms for Ukraine, you were lessening the likelihood that, as you put it, black and brown, you know, soldiers or people that had joined the military would end up getting deployed to Ukraine. So, that's how the administration framed it. So, I assume, you know, for through no fault of your own, you're not somebody who would spend a whole lot of time probably focused on the issue of Ukraine over the course of your career. You have other interests mostly. Right? And so they they presented it to you or your interpretation was that by providing those munitions, you were basically saving or, no. No. No. No. Okay. So No. Speaker 1: No. No. No. No. It wasn't providing munitions. It was supporting these bills supporting these bills to to hold off Russia, supporting these bills. Was there funding for funding for for Speaker 0: for munition? Speaker 1: It was it for what the funding was for, this was a way to stop us from sending US troops who, for me, what I was already dealing with in my district were mostly black and brown and marginalized folks that we were trying to help. It was to stop that from being from being the next occurrence. That's what that was Speaker 0: But those bills provided munitions. Speaker 1: Done. With the with the county. I I'm giving you a lot of time. Appreciate it. A lot of time. And so, you know, and for you to turn this into a Ukraine thing was not you know? So I, you know, I I'm trying to answer your question. Speaker 0: Oh, I'm trying to be I thought I was try I I'm trying to be respectful, honestly. Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 0: I just thought that Ukraine was relevant given that we're at, you know, the peace ball. That's another conflict going on. You don't think so? Speaker 1: No. No. No. No. Absolutely. I just what I'm saying is is that I you keep, like, going asking question after question after question. I I only answered 2 questions with everybody else. I gave you, like, what, 6. Speaker 0: No. That's fine. Yeah. Speaker 1: So so, you know Alright. Speaker 0: Well, I I I appreciate it the way. I didn't mean to be, rude at all. Well, you Speaker 1: weren't being rude. I mean, you took the the opportunity to just Speaker 0: I did. Speaker 1: As yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Okay. Anywhere anyone would do. I get I get I'm just saying I'll just Okay. Okay. Yeah. Speaker 0: Alright. Well Speaker 1: And, again, I don't wanna speak for other people about because this I haven't had those conversations. So yeah. Speaker 0: Yeah. Alright.

I confronted Cochav Elkayam Levy, chair of Israel's "Hamas rape" commission, about her use of a misleading photo of Kurdish fighters as evidence of Hamas atrocities. Instead of addressing my claims, she thanked me for the publicity and blocked me, implying an acknowledgment of her error. This indicates that the commission is not committed to factual inquiry but serves as a propaganda tool to justify Israel's actions in Gaza. Additionally, she defended her past work with the Attorney General, where she misused human rights law to support force-feeding Palestinian hunger strikers.

@MaxBlumenthal - Max Blumenthal

The chair of Israel's "Hamas rape" commission, Cochav Elkayam Levy, has delivered a highly revealing response to me. After I exposed her for promoting a 2022 photo of dead Kurdish fighters as women raped by Hamas on Oct 7, she did not bother to refute me, nor did she explain her mistake or issue a correction. Instead, she tacitly acknowledged that her evidence was fake and simply thanked me for the publicity. Then she blocked me. Elkayam Levy therefore acknowledges that Israel's commission on October 7 sex crimes has no interest in conducting a factual inquiry, or upholding basis standards of review. It is nothing more than a propaganda tool designed to distract from and justify the titanic crimes Israel is committing in Gaza. Indeed, its conclusions were determined by the political imperatives of the Israeli military, not by any evidence. Elyakam Levy also felt compelled to defend her record of consulting for Israel's Attorney General on breaking Palestinian prisoner hunger strikes. While claiming she "advocated for the protection of prisoners rights" in a 2015 paper, she actually weaponized human rights law to advocate force feeding as a mechanism of protecting their "right to life."

Er waren demonstraties, waren allemaal verplaatst. Daar waren we ook mee bezig. Die supporters werden beschermd en begeleid naar het stadion en terug.

Ik ben benieuwd wat er gebeurt als ze nou eigenlijk naar buiten komen. Dus laten we een kijkje nemen. Wat een leuke, gezellige mens. Deheids afgelopen. Ajax heeft gewonnen. Iedereen komt naar buiten, stormt. En ze afwachten wat er gaat gebeuren. Joden. We lopen nu richting de Bijlmer Arena. En je merkt dat er wat jongeren over straat lopen. Die nogal onrustig tegen de politie. Dus ja, maar volgens mij het is weer. Ze lopen, ze schelden gewoon uit en dan rennen ze weer weg. Inmiddels wordt iedereen die onrustig is gewoon weer weggestuurd. Stadverloop rustig. Maar we gaan verder zoeken op centraal station. Kijk, alle sporen zijn verschillend afgezet. Zodat je dus niet elkaar tegenkomt. Als je niet op hetzelfde spoor, minder ruzie. Alles verkoopt. Ook tussen de poortjes. En bij de NS slaat gewoon een hond. Gewoon om even af te slikken. In de metro zit je weer er gelukkig wel in. Nu nog rij tot de centrale stations. We zijn net op centraal en je merkt al eigenlijk dat de sfeer wat minder gezellig is. Er worden vuurwerkbommetje afgestoken. En ze zijn nu aan het rennen en aan het schreeuwen. Ik weet niet wat er Nee. Ik weet niet wat er precies gebeurt. Het is wel een flinke stoet. Ze zijn palen uit de grond aan het jatten. Ze hebben palen uit de grond gejat. Ik denk om zichzelf te weren van mensen die ze lastig vallen. We doen nu allemaal maskers op. Er is geen politie, dus ik weet niet precies. Het is nogal. Het is een heel gespannen sfeertje. Oké. Ja, politie. Oké. Ze gaan achter mensen aan. Veel politie. Poeh, oké. Het loopt helemaal uit de hand. Palen naar de politieauto. Zo. Zo. Ze zijn een beetje uit elkaar. Taxi-chauffeur reden er ook expres doorheen. Ze hadden van die bouwvakkerspalen uit de grond gehaald. En die op andere mensen gegooid en op die politiebussen. We zijn er weer eens zoals altijd de enige media die denkt. Politie vlucht hem een soort van of rijdt? Hij keert terug, alleen hij is in zijn eentje. Jawel. De groep is hier. De groep is hier. Hij heeft duidelijk meer versterking nodig, want dit gaat anders niks worden. Er staan twee busjes. Het politie signaal is uit. Het leek op een vechtpartij, maar we weten niet precies met wie. Ik denk met mensen die tegen ze zijn. Het lijkt erop alsof ze misschien in dit hotel verblijven. Alleen ze trekken de stad in. En ze lijken niet bang. Ze schreeuwen veel. Ik verstaat niet. Dus als je het kan vertalen in de commandons, zou fijn zijn. In de comments. Dus ik ben benieuwd wat hiervan terechtkomt. Het ziet er nog steeds niet gezellig uit. Ze hebben ook nog maar twee busjes. Het lijkt er echt op alsof de politie eigenlijk niks doet. Niet eens een waarschuwing, ze rijden gewoon mee. Op een gegeven moment gaat er wat kapot en dan kunnen ze nog niks doen. Maar misschien rijden ze mee in de hoop dat er meer versterking is. Volgens mij zijn al die taxi's, dat was dus gisteravond ook, niet zo blij met de actie. Dus die zijn nu met zijn allen aan het toeteren. En dan hoogstwaarschijnlijk komt daar weer ruzie van. Zoals je kan horen. Ze jatten allemaal pallets uit elkaar. Ze lopen nu met houten planken. Ze lopen gewoon met wapens. Er rijden trouwens drie trams, gewoon bijna tegen elkaar aan. Misschien is dus een soort muur. We komen van twee kanten. De conflicten komen nu. Zo, hé. Zo, hé. Ze hebben. We kwamen terug. Ze zijn zeg maar die twee groepen. Één groep kwam vanaf daar. Toen was ze met zijn allen daarheen. Met stokken gegooid. Nu wordt ze met vuurwerk gegooid. Dat was wel even schrikken. Je merkt wel, ze zijn nog niet klaar. Dit gaat nog wel even duur. Door. Zo, ik moest ook net stoppen met filmen. Ze zeiden: Voor je eigen veiligheid zet nu je Mike uit. Dat ga ik niet doen. Maar ik vond dit best wel spannend. Zo heb ik ze ook nog niet vaak gehad. Speaker 1: Ja, en dat ook. Speaker 0: Er is geen politie om niemand te beschermen. Gewoon niemand. Één busje. Waar staan die paarden? Er stonden net tientallen paarden op daarin. Nou, dus niks. Één bus. Dit loopt uit de hand. Ze doen weer hittraining. Ze doen dertig seconden keihard rennen en dan gewoon weer voor drie minuten rust. Er is nu meer politie. We lopen er nu recht achter. Oké, ze sluiten hun in. Ze worden een soort van ingesloten zodat we niet de dam op kunnen. We zitten in principe nu wel echt in het centrum. Dus we staan weer op stilstand. Ik denk dat ze daarheen gaan. Het ziet er levensgevaarlijk uit. Ze staan met ijzeren pijpen, stokken. Alle harde dingen die op knuppels lijken hebben ze op straat gevonden. Dan lopen ze gewoon met de patrouilleren. En alles wat ze niet bevalt, gaat eraan. Dit wordt nog wat. Er is een soort teamoverleg. De leader of the branche is er. Ze hebben gewoon kinderen, ik denk nog geen twaalf jaar oud, lopen met stokken. Door de kleine straatjes voorop. En die zijn ruzie aan het zoeken. Dus je vindt een arrestatie plaats. Kijk, ze hebben dus de kinderen van ik denk echt jonge kinderen, nog geen twaalf jaar oud. Dus een jochie van één komma vijf nul. Je hebt net gewoon gewoon een politieagent in de koffer gewoon aangevallen met een stok. Maar ja, je kan ook moeilijk een kind van twaalf het busje ingooien, maar dat lijkt op wat er nu wel gaat gebeuren. Oké, de ME komt er nu uit met schild en stok. Ik denk dat het nu aanvallen wordt, alleen wat ze niet beseffen is Tel Aviv heeft ook schild en stock. En geen schild schild, maar menselijk schild. En ijzeren pijp. Ze hebben het kruispunt afgezet. Hier zodat ze er dan niet in kunnen. Maar ze gaan nu verder daarheen. Het wordt daar eigenlijk steeds drukker. Hier zijn alle taxi's die boos zijn. En ze komen nu hier op afgestormd. Ik denk dat het niet lang duurt voordat de confrontatie met politie en Tel Aviv spelers gaat zo de lamp gaan aan. Wat je wel ziet is in tegenstelling tot de adiosrellen ze blijven allemaal bij elkaar. Ze worden echt compact te groep. Ze worden niet uit elkaar gejaagd. Ze rennen weinig. En als ze rennen, rennen ze met zijn allen. Vijftig links aanhouden. Boem. Ze worden hier de straat uitgeduwt. En nu? Lopen nu richting het Spui. Ze haalden net alle kinkhoest uit de straten, die gingen vol op de taxibusjes. Je hoort van achter ook nog vuurwerk, dus er is duidelijk nog een groep. En ik denk ook niet dat dat lang gaat duren voordat ze elkaar misschien treffen. Ja, hier loopt het uit de hand. We staan nu op het Spui. De bekende hippies zette Amsterdam in de fik video. We zijn weer terug, maar nu met andere doeleinden. De politie zei: We wilden groeien een kans dat ze vuurwerk op ons gaan gooien. Dus er is ook een kans dat wij dat op ons krijgen. Het wordt spannend, maar het lijkt erop als we Ja, we gaan nu. We worden ook Van de ellendere groepen is ook niet blij. Er staan een groep van twintig man. We werden ingesloten door een andere groep. Ze zijn niet zo blij met ons. Er staat nu een groep van ongeveer honderd man plus in een klein kringetje. Kijk, nu is eigenlijk de totale focus van de politie alleen hierop. En langzaam vormt hier gewoon zich een groep die daar weer tegen is. Daar komen alle toeterende auto's weer. Nou dames en heren, helaas kon ik deze keer de wedstrijd niet bijwonen. Dus wil je nou dat ik volgende keer wel bij de wedstrijd kan zitten en dan nog zo'n mooie rapportage kan maken? Doneer op Black Niepeterug slash Ben. Dankjewel. Oei, oei, oei. Zijn verder van elkaar. -Dank je wel. Dit moet je sowieso passen op YouTube. Dat gaan we doen binnenkort online? -Zeker, zeker. Wat vind je ervan? -Dit is wel een heftige toestand, wat ze zeggen altijd, We moesten gauw wegwezen. Ze vegen heel kleins, zodat niemand meer bij hun in de buurt is. Ik ben heel benieuwd. Ja, ze hebben eigenlijk het hele plein onder controle. Hebben nu eigenlijk de tegenstanders van de Tel Aviv supporters weggejaagd. Dus voor de rest is het plein schoon. Staat daar nog wel een groep van honderd man of zo gewoon omsingeld door politie. Ik denk dat ze een voor een bus ingaan. En dat is het. Alleen langzaam verzamelen ze van hier ook weer. Oei, oei, oei, ik schrok een beetje. Ze staan nog op het bruggetje daar. Richting het spuien nog een beetje bommetjes af te steken. Maar ik denk dat het nu wel rustig is. Alleen ik ben heel benieuwd wat er met die supporters gebeurt. Die staan daar gewoon nog steeds. Ja. Wat? Waarvoor was dat nodig? Kap- en mijspel. Het zijn nog wel nare gasies. Want veel van die Israëliërs hebben allemaal in het leger gezeten. Dus ja, sterk zijn ze wel en ze weten alle tactieken een beetje. En ook kunnen ze gewoon in het Israëliërs bespreken en de politie weet niet wat er gezegd wordt. Dus het is ook wel heel lastig. Je weet niet of ze nu bespreken, laten we met zijn allen door die ene kant heen rammen. Dat weet je niet. Maar het lijkt er wel op alsof ze redelijk onrustig aan het worden zijn. Want ze zijn nu denk ik al om half uurtje aan het wachten. Ze zijn nu volgens mij met zijn allen wat aan het bespreken. Er staat een soort van O, er wordt een middelvingertje naar mond gestoken. Er wordt een leider die in het midden is, denk ik, even alles aan het vertellen. Kijk, hier gaan even de de de wapens die ze gevonden hebben gaan dus even inspecteren. Ja, daar werd mee gegooid. Ja, dit is een van die stenen waarmee werd gegooid. Dit valt nog wel mee. Dit is een soort. Ze hebben een lattenbodem uit elkaar gehaald. En ook pallets. De pallets liggen daar. En de lattenbodem, daar liepen ze mee op straat. Ik kan je wel zeggen, als ze eruit breken zijn wij weg. Want toen we daar liepen, kregen we al Ze worden begeleid. Of zij zijn juist niet de goeie en ze plukken ze eruit. Ze worden weer teruggeduwd. Ik denk dat het toch niet helemaal volgens plan ging. Ze vormen wel weer een hele nieuwe lijn. Het is aan deze kant weer helemaal open, maar ze staan met zijn allen daar. Daar liggen alle stenen opgeborgen. Daar waar ze mee gooien zijn flinke stenen. Half kilootje per stuk. Goede sinaasappels. En de agent trapt ze allemaal weg. Alleen ze komen nu allemaal heel dicht op elkaar te staan. Dus de frictie wordt juist alleen maar meer. Ik snap niet helemaal zo goed wat ze nou aan het doen zijn. Ze worden nu weggeleid. De stad naar de rookin. Ik denk naar hun hotel waar ze verblijven. Ze moeten met alle weer weg. We kregen wat leuke middelvingers. Dus gaan we erachter aan. Ze krijgen de X air treatment. Ze worden allemaal het busje in gegooid. Alleen daar zijn ze het volgens mij ook niet helemaal mee eens. Ze werken absoluut niet mee met het busidee. Speaker 1: De helft zit erin, de helft rent weg. Speaker 0: En er worden stenen weer gegooid. Dat is op dat huis. Dat is op dat huis met al die vlaggen. De politie heeft iets niet zeer tactisch gedaan. Hier zit een groot, volgens mij, kraakband met allemaal Palestijnse vlaggen. Er worden stenen op de rij gegooid. Ze hebben gisteravond de vlaggen ook er vanaf getrokken en verbrand. En nu komen we precies hier uit. Ze willen het busje niet in. De andere helft is stenen aan het gooien. Hier, kom daar kijken. De taxichauffeurs. Er worden weer stenen gegooid. Het blijft maar doorgaan. De taxichauffeurs zijn ook weer verzameld. Hier is dat huis. Hier zijn ze naartoe begeleid. Het is eigenlijk niet zo slim gedaan. En het riedeltje begint weer opnieuw. De helft zit in de bus en de andere helft is er met stenen en stokken aan het gooien. Zo lang gewacht en nu dit. Er staat eigenlijk in Den Haag een stuk of honderd taxi's tot helemaal daar om de hoek. Allemaal aan het toeteren, uit de auto aan het stappen. En die zoeken weer conflict met de Tella-Viv-supporters. We zitten in een lastig parket. Er staat nu als chauffeur gewoon een klein, lief vrouwtje in. Ik weet niet of ik dat had gedaan. Ik hoop dat ze een loodverhoging krijgt. Anders was dat het hem niet waard, denk ik. Nou dames en heren, het busje zit weer vol. Ik ben benieuwd of ze ze op de trein zetten of dat ze gewoon weer een nachtje in de cel mogen zitten. Of gewoon weer terug naar een hotelletje. Maar het zit er weer op vandaag. Het was weer eens heerlijk genieten. Dank je wel voor het kijken en tot de volgende keer.

The footage is notable not only because it exposes the Maccabi thugs provoking violence, but because they can be clearly seen coordinating their actions like a military unit, while reportedly escorted by Mossad agents. At one point, an Israeli thug threatens the young journalist and orders him not to film their rampage. Meanwhile, local police disappear for long periods.

I believe Israel's intentions for Gaza have always been clear, reflecting a genocidal logic rooted in Zionism. The forced expulsion of northern residents and the establishment of Jews-only settlements highlight this agenda. The remaining population faces pressure to either accept exile or submit to a repressive regime. Proposals for this plan are circulating, with figures like Tony Blinken involved in promoting a post-war strategy that promises lucrative contracts. Netanyahu's party is actively discussing Gaza's future, aiming to eliminate resistance and secure regional dominance, though the outcome remains uncertain.

@MaxBlumenthal - Max Blumenthal

Israel’s Final Solution for Gaza was always clear to those of us who understood the essentially genocidal logic of Zionism. But now it should be obvious to all: the expulsion of residents of the north at gunpoint and replacement of their refugee camps with Jews-only settlements and military bases. The rest of the population will be ruthlessly pressured to accept exile or submission to a dystopian, high tech UAE-US-Israeli dictatorship, in which any expression of political protest is brutally punished. Proposals for the project are already online. Tony Blinken is reportedly pushing the Israeli-UAE “post-war plan,” undoubtedly salivating at the prospects of lavish contracts when he returns to the private sector. Netanyahu’s Likud Party is hosting conferences on settling Gaza. By pacifying Gaza, the cradle of resistance, a messianic, nuclearized and AI-adaptive settler colonial cult will have removed a key obstacle to regional domination. Though its success is far from certain, the plan is now apparent to anyone paying attention.

Speaker 0: On October 7th, as news of the Hamas military attack on Israel started to emerge, the Israeli PR machine went into overdrive. Its propaganda blitz was predictable, and its objective was clear. Shock the Western public into supporting Israel's plan to carry out the wholesale destruction of the besieged Gaza Strip. In its campaign to manufacture consent for mass death, the Israeli government found no greater ally than the unquestioning marionettes that serve as the faces and voices of US mainstream media. Speaker 1: At least 40 babies were killed. Some of them them their their heads cut off. He said he's never seen acts of brutality like this. They cut off children.

Watching this harrowing footage of Israel’s 1982 massacres in Beirut and how msm covered it at the time offers a complete contrast from CNN’s tightly controlled coverage of the Gaza genocide, monopolized by the Tel Aviv Triad of Tapper, Bash and Blitzer

@OccupationMovie - Occupation Movie

During Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon, amazing to see US media shine a light on the sheer brutality of the invasion & openly blast Israel as an imperial bully. Far cry from the stenographers to power posing as "journalists" in corporate media today. https://bit.ly/3N8Oi44

Video Transcript AI Summary
In 1982, Israel invaded Lebanon, which Israeli officials justified as defensive action against terrorists. The narrative shifted as media showed Israel as the aggressor, occupying Lebanese territory. The invasion resulted in 17,000 Lebanese and Palestinian deaths and 30,000 wounded, mostly civilians. Following the Sabra and Shatila refugee camp massacres, where Israeli-allied forces killed Palestinian civilians, Israel launched a public relations strategy known as Hasbrah to counter negative press. The goal was to rebrand Israel's image, which was shifting from underdog to aggressor. Advertising executive Karl Spielvogel was brought in to soften Israel's image. The strategy involved portraying Palestinian resistance as terrorism and framing Israeli aggression as self-defense. Even when violently suppressing resistance to occupation, the aim was to depict Israel as a victim. This linguistic manipulation, it was argued, created an Orwellian situation where only one side was labeled as terrorist, regardless of civilian casualties. Critics contend that Israel uses self-defense as a pretext for repressing Palestinian rights and dissent.

Speaker 0: Good evening. Speaker 1: This is the CBS Evening News. Bob Schiefer reporting. Israel unleashed another massive air attack on Palestinian guerrilla targets in Lebanon today. Speaker 2: From the sky, the whole of Israeli jets, Speaker 0: arming and bombing. Tonight, Israel has never been closer to nor more in control of an Arab capital. Speaker 3: In the summer of 1982, Israel invaded neighboring Lebanon in an attempt to drive the Palestinian Liberation Organization out of its encampments on the southern border with Israel. Israeli officials justified the attack as a defensive action required to take out terrorists. Part of the story played out on American television, a different narrative began to emerge, when they presented Israel as the aggressive. Speaker 4: What in the world is going on? Israel's security problem on its border is 50 miles to the south. What's an Israeli army doing here in Beirut? The answer is that we are now dealing with an imperial Israel, which is solving its problems in someone else's country, world opinion be damned. Speaker 5: The Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982 was a watershed. It was Israel breaking out beyond its immediate region to aggressively attack another country, and it was a bit of a shock to many people. Speaker 0: Israel was always that gallop little underdog democracy fighting for survival against all the odds. Now the Israelis have annexed East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights settled down more or less permanently on the West Bank and occupied close to half of Lebanon. In the interests of self defense, that gallant little underdog, Israel, has suddenly started behaving like the neighborhood bully. Speaker 3: By the time the war was over, the Israeli military would kill 17,000 Lebanese and Palestinians and wound another 30,000, almost all of them civilians. Speaker 6: In West Beirut, hospitals are so taxed with the injured that they have become specialized. This center takes only burn victims of phosphorus shells. Travel cases, concussions, and fractures are directed to other facilities. Speaker 3: And just a few months later, American media coverage would take an even darker turn. Speaker 1: There's been another horrendous turn of events in the Middle East. Hundreds of men, women, and children, perhaps as many as a 1000 people in all, have been massacred in 2 Palestinian refugee camps in West Beirut. Speaker 3: Israel's Lebanese allies, operating with the consent of the Israeli government, had massacred several 1,000 Palestinian civilians in the refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila, and American news media had the pictures to prove it. Speaker 1: The Israelis permitted an armored column of right wing Christian gunmen to enter West Beirut late Friday. They took up positions surrounding Shatila refugee camp last night. And this morning, they were gone. Speaker 0: Bloody massacre which has heightened tensions between the US and Israel. Speaker 7: Sabra Shatila was hardly the first massacre committed by Israel against Palestinians and against Arabs. There's a dirty legacy of Israeli massacres from the pre state through the creation of the state and beyond. The big difference was this one was televised. Speaker 1: By all appearances, groups of men had been ordered to stand against the wall and then gunned down in cold blood. Speaker 0: Today, Palestinians search frantically for relatives. They took our children, one said. They're killing our family. Speaker 7: This was a game changer in terms of how Israel was going to deal with the question of publicity. They went on the offensive for the first time. Speaker 8: All the direct or implicit accusations that the IDF bear any blame whatsoever for this human tragedy in the shatila camp are entirely baseless and without any foundation. The government of Israel rejects them with a contempt which they deserve. Speaker 7: It was perhaps the first time they recognized at the highest levels inside Israel how much they needed to do that if they expected to maintain the kind of understood support in the United States. Israel can do no wrong. Israel is always the the victim. Israel is the little David against the big bad Goliath. Speaker 3: 2 years after the Lebanon invasion, the American Jewish Congress sponsored a conference in Jerusalem to devise a formal public relations strategy known in Hebrew as Hasbrah. Participants included PR and advertising executives, media specialists, journalists, and leaders of major Jewish groups. According to a brochure from the congress, no single event brought home the need for a more effective Hasbro or information program more persuasively than the 1982 war in Lebanon and the events that followed. As one conference participant put it, Israel is no longer perceived to be little David, but Goliath steamrolling across the map. The primary aim of the conference was to develop strategies to spin unpopular Israeli policies and to counter negative press coverage by shaping the media frame in advance. News doesn't just jump into a camera, a conference delegate said. It's directed. It's managed. It's made accessible. Israel based advertising executive, Martin Fenton, would put it in even more blunt terms. Propaganda is not a dirty word, he said. Face it. We are in the game of changing people's minds, of making them think differently. To accomplish that, we need propaganda. The conference was chaired by US advertising executive, Karl Spielvogel, the legendary ad man who created the highly acclaimed Miller Lite beer rides in the 19 seventies. Speaker 9: The choice of Spielvogel makes perfect sense. He's known as a master of image inversion and rebranding. The ad man responsible for transforming Miller Lite, which had been viewed before as a woman's beer into a manly beer that tough guys would drink. Speaker 1: The best part is that it tastes so great. The best part is it's less Philly. No, it tastes great. Less Philly. Speaker 9: His job with Israel would require the same kind of rebranding, only in the opposite direction, to help soften the image of a country that's coming to be seen as a bully. So he recommends creating a cabinet post dedicated exclusively to explaining policy, whose job would not be setting policy, but presenting it in the most attractive way to the rest of the world. Speaker 5: Classic PR is to say, the problem is not the policy, it's the presentation. When the policies are so reprehensible that many people become critical, Rather than acknowledge there's anything wrong with the policy, there's a doubling down on the PR effort. Speaker 9: After Lebanon, you start to see the basic Hasbro strategy in action. Images of Palestinians fighting back against Israel's occupation make their way onto American television screens, And Israeli military crushes this resistance in brutal ways that undercut Israel's image as underdog and victim. Israeli helicopter gunships deliberately fired a missile into a crowd of civilians last night, killing 7 Palestinians and wounding 70 more. Then Israeli officials go into full Hasbro Amo, and act if the occupation doesn't even exist, framing all Palestinian resistance to terrorism and Israeli aggression as self defense. Speaker 10: We will do whatever it takes to defend ourselves and defend ourselves. We will. Speaker 9: That's the basic Hasbro strategy in a nutshell. Even when you're violently crushing resistance to your own brutal occupation, portray Israel as an innocent victim by demonizing Palestinians as nothing but terrorists. Speaker 11: The Palestinian terror campaign continues. It only justifies again and again that we, Israel, have to continue and defend ourselves. Speaker 7: There have been horrific Palestinian terrorist attacks, and I use that word very specifically to mean what terrorism means, which is attacks on civilians for a political purpose. Speaker 9: Anger in Israel today at last night's suicide bomb in Tel Aviv, which killed 4 wounded around 50. Speaker 7: Those are horrific attacks which should be condemned. They are violations of international law, period. But the problem is Israeli violence is assumed to be legitimate because it's always self defense. Speaker 12: Some of the people who have been killed are said to be civilians. In fact, 2 of them are said to be, little girls. But the Israeli military says they try to the best of their knowledge to make sure whoever they are striking was a known militant. Speaker 10: All the cases when Palestinian people were killed by the Israeli military, and this is not called acts of terror, and one should ask why if it is civilians who are being killed but from a plane and not by a suicide bomber? Why this is not terror and only terrorists when, somebody is killed by a suicide bomber? Speaker 5: If the terrorist label can only be affixed to one set of people, but not another set of people, then you're in an Orwellian zone. You're down a rabbit hole of linguistic manipulation. Speaker 13: The last thing they want is a political settlement. What they want is more demonstrations, more riots, more bodies. That's what they want. Speaker 2: And so this becomes the framing of the situation. Israel is defending itself, which means Israel is not the aggressor here. That doesn't square with the reality on the ground, and we know that. You have a right to defend yourself. You don't have a right to occupy people, deny them their human rights, and then cry foul when they resist. That's not the right to self defense. That's the right to repression. That's what Israel is asking for here. Let us do away with these dissenters, these Palestinian dissenters, and call it defense.

I recently came across Ryan Routh's 291-page book, “Unwinnable War,” detailing his experiences in Ukraine’s International Legion. He expresses a desire for the assassinations of Putin and Lukashenko, believing it would destabilize Russia.

I’ve observed a troubling defense from various Israeli officials regarding the right of soldiers to commit acts of sexual violence against Palestinian prisoners. What was meant to show accountability for such crimes has instead revealed deep-seated issues within Israeli society. The narrative surrounding Hamas has fueled state-sanctioned violence, with media outlets failing to address the reality of these abuses. As the war in Gaza continues, it risks igniting a civil crisis, especially if Netanyahu pursues a ceasefire without achieving his promised victory.

@MaxBlumenthal - Max Blumenthal

Everyone from Netanyahu's son, Yair, to Israel's Economy Minister Nir Barkat, to Justice Minister Yariv Levin, has chimed in to defend the right of soldiers to rape Palestinian prisoners. What was intended as a legal charade to demonstrate to the ICC that Israel could hold its soldiers accountable for crimes – in this case, the gang rape of a prisoner at the Sde Teiman concentration camp – has backfired and exposed the psychological sickness emanating from the heart of Jewish Israeli society. The sadistic torture that has taken place at Sde Teiman and other Israeli dungeons was undeniably fueled by the state-led propaganda hoax accusing Hamas of "systemic sexual violence" on October 7. Legacy Western outlets like the NY Times, BBC, The Guardian, along with the voice of Israel's "enlightened public," Haaretz, legitimized the hoax, and have refused to retract or even correct reports that were comprehensively debunked. Thus, to the common Jewish Israeli, Hamas militants not only violated hundreds of women before butchering them for pleasure, they cruelly emasculated the Israeli male who supposedly conquered the land. Behind the walls of Sde Teiman, the shadowy goon squad known as Force 100 has been tasked with restoring Zionist machismo by revenge-raping defenseless Palestinian men kidnapped from Gaza. All prisoners are "terrorists" in their minds, therefore anything is permissible. As Hanoch Milwidsky, a member of Knesset from the ruling Likud Party stated openly in a parliamentary debate, "If he is a [Hamas] Nukhba member, everything is legitimate to do him!" The same media outlets that propagated the Hamas "mass rape" hoax are predictably downplaying the documented gang rape of a Palestinian prisoner. Haaretz has referred to the rape in a front page headline as mere "abuse." Currently, there is nothing on the NY Times front page about the incident, while the Washington Post refers cryptically to "detainee abuse" in its coverage, which is buried at the bottom of its website. Prominent liberal Zionists, meanwhile, are pronouncing Israel's "democracy" and its international image as the ultimate victims of the crisis, and not the Palestinians who have endured rape and torture at the hands of the occupation's enforcers. The war in Gaza suffocated the national protests against Netanyahu's judicial reform plans, seemingly breathing new life into the PM's career. But now, after nine months of blood-letting, the war is setting the stage for an existential civil meltdown if and when Netanyahu agrees to a ceasefire without scoring the "total victory" he's promised. If that day comes, let it be recorded that the turning point was a violent Zionist riot in support of the right to rape Palestinian men.

Despite the horrible words thrown around by soul-dead politicians and traumatized youngsters, not a single Israeli soldier entered Gaza with the commands, intent or wish to murder babies and rape women. Every single one of the 3000 Gazans who entered Israel on 7/10 obeyed instructions, intended, wanted and perpetrated just that. While my campaign for a Peace of the Moderates sometimes requires symmetrical language, there will never be a symmetry in the sheer joy of pre-planned massacre.

Israeli media now confirms what we've been saying for months: Israel fabricated gruesome Hamas atrocities to generate support for its war in Gaza. Channel 13 panel, including former Israeli police spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld, admits that these stories were invented to fuel hatred towards Hamas. The IDF spokesman apologizes for describing a reality that didn't happen, but the damage has already been done.

@MaxBlumenthal - Max Blumenthal

Enough time has passed since October 7 for Israeli media to state what we’ve been saying for over three months, which is that Israel’s military and political leadership fabricated many of the grisliest Hamas atrocities in order to generate support for the genocidal war it planned in Gaza. Here, a Channel 13 panel including Mickey Rosenfeld, the longtime Israeli police spokesman who spread many such lies after October 7, acknowledges that lurid stories of babies hung on clotheslines, a fetus cut from a pregnant woman, a baby baked in an oven, and more were invented “to increase the magnitude of hatred for Hamas.” As Rosenfeld put it, “The war is not only military, not only political, it’s mainly media.” Channel 13 manages to elicit a statement of contrition from the IDF spokesman, who apologizes for “describ[ing] a reality that didn’t happen.” Of course, confessions like these are easy when the damage has already been done.

Speaker 0: I speak now to Mads Gilbert. He's a doctor and has worked with Palestinians for more than 2 decades. He joins us now from Oslo. Thank you for joining us. I heard an interview that you did in Cairo in the 1st few days of the war. You were talking about how concerned you are then about the health Care system in Gaza and how it was on its knees. Here we are a 100 days in. Did you imagine it would get to where it has? Speaker 1: I consider myself a fairly cynical person when it comes To what kind of atrocities that superpowers and military, forces can do, but I had never in my wildest fantasy That I would sit here today together with you and, discuss the atrocities of a magnitude that I cannot Recall to have seen in modern history. I'm dressed in black today to commemorate the 24,000 killed Palestinians And the 61,000 wounded, an almost unimaginable number of 85,000 Palestinian men, women, and children killed or wounded within the time span of a 100 days and a health care that is not only shattered, But where they have ruined the majority, thirty out of 36 hospital and 54 healthcare stations And killed, as you said, more than 300 healthcare workers. It is unprecedented. And when I see the videos coming from Gaza today, What people are using forced to use donkey carts to carry wounded and killed Palestinians because more than a 100 ambulances have been targeted and shot to pieces by the Israeli occupation forces. I think what we're looking at is a massive Moral failure and a moral breakdown of international order and of control with the arms And the way that arms are used in colonial projects, it's a sad day. But at the same time, it is a day to also Salute to the very brave Palestinian health care workers, the doctors, the nurses, the paramedics, the medical students All over Gaza who have not only risked and risked their lives as we are speaking, but who have been standing tall together with their patients and their people in support of life, Not bad. Speaker 0: And, Mads, as you say, many of the hospitals have been bombed. The few that do still operate don't have power to function properly. They don't have the medical staff. What is your understanding of the availability of medical care On the ground now in the south of Gaza and in the north. Speaker 1: Very good point that you're asking about The North because in the North, the situation is beyond desperate. I just had a call from the, mayor of Gaza City today. And they told me that they have not received a drop of fuel, since the emergency supplies, started to come in and, of course, Gaza City mostly, have been forcefully emptied of people. There are still, Six digit, thousands of people living in the north and needing medical supply and being bombed. Chief of hospitals still still has has, patients but have almost no, medical function. So it's more like a first aid station. As for the hospitals in the south, we know that Al Aqsa hospital is being bombed. We know that the 2 medical, international teams that were there from MSF and from MAP have left because of the dangers. And we know that the Israeli occupation army are shooting artillery shells straight into the ICU department. So it is a horrible situation and the healthcare Capacity is, of course, not sufficient at all to handle this massive number of 61,000 injured. And add to that, not only the staff, the number of staff and the bed capacity, but they are lacking everything. They don't have antibiotics. They don't have anesthetic drugs. They don't have IV fluids. They don't have disinfectants because of a systematic man made health disaster. Remember, this is not a volcanic eruption in Iceland. This is planned and executed by the Israeli government with full support from the US. It's the worst man made medical disaster in modern history, actually. And it goes on on the 100th day. So I think what we all need to realize now is that thousands of more people will be getting killed the coming days, Not only from the bombing, but from the infectious diseases, from hunger and from hypothermia. I checked the weather forecast. We're going down to 6, 5 to 6 centigrades Celsius at nighting also the coming days. There will be rain, and the tents are single layer summer sort of tents. There will be a massive, threat of, accidental hypothermia, cooling of the children and the fragile people and the pregnant women. All of this together, we probably take more lives unnecessarily than the lives taken by the bombing itself. So this is a Planned, calculated, premeditated mass murder at the industrial level of the Palestinian people. And it as I said, It's a massive moral breakdown. I I don't understand how more than a 150 nations in the UN General Assembly can vote for ceasefire. And yet 2 nations, the United States and Israel, continue to just oppose any medical advice, any reality, any statistics of the horrors of the situation in Gaza without being stopped. Speaker 0: And one day, this war will be Then there will be the daunting task of rebuilding. Where do you even start? How long would it take to build up The medical infrastructure that has been decimated in the last 100 days. Speaker 1: Extremely important question. And and I hate To to be a white Norwegian sitting in Norway and having to answer that question because I think the Palestinian minister of health, doctor Yousaf Abris Doctor Ahmed, the, the head of the international cooperation committee in the, Ministry of Health in Gaza, should be the ones and can be the ones to answer that. They say to me when I discuss this important point, they say We are ready to reopen the hospitals in Gaza, the Palestinians' hospitals. You know, before this started, thirty Four out of 36 Palestinian hospitals were functioning at a certain level. There had been 16 years of siege. Yes, there were deficiencies, But they were functioning. Today, we're down to maybe 6. 30 of them has been, have been closed down. But they are not that damaged. Once you turn on the electricity, the fuel supply, the water supply, the food supply, and the medical supplies, They can start functioning again. And the medical staff, doctors, nurses, paramedics can move from their forcefully deplaced displaced position in the south Up to the hospitals and start working in the hospitals again. So I think what is the most impress pressing, demand now, It is, first of all, from a medical point of view, number 1 prescription from all doctors I talk to, Internationals and Palestinians, it is stop the bombing immediately. Immediate lasting ceasefire. Number 2, Open the border immediately. Open Rafa. Open multiple entries to Gaza and have an unhindered influx of humanitarian supplies not controlled by Israel, but controlled by the United Nations, allow sufficient medical teams to come And start immediately to rebuild and fit the Palestinian hospitals and the Palestinian health care system So that that can function. Don't make Gaza and also the West Bank into a donor dependent unity that cannot use their own resources because they're perfectly capable to do that. And then I think also, We need to support the, proceedings in the international criminal court and hold Israel accountable for these massive crimes Against the health care system and patients and and the population in Gaza at large because this impunity Has led to the situation we are in now. Israel has never been held accountable for their previous massive attacks On health care, this is nothing new to us who have been working in Gaza and in the West Bank for decades. They are always Attacking health care ambulances, hospitals are killing health care workers, but this has never been any, Investigation and accountability on the Israeli part. If they get away with this, these 100 days without any kind of punishment and legal actions. We are entering a very dark period in our history where the new colonialists are Willing to and able to and can unpunished it, be attacking new territories, new countries And, and and performed the same mass killings that we've seen these last 100 days. Let me just read to you some of the numbers That one of the judges in the ICJ, reported the Irish judge. She she said, on an average, 247 Palestinians are killed have been killed every day. Among them, 48 mothers killed every day. 2 every hour. A 117 children killed every day. UNICEF called this a war on the children. Okay. Three medics Killed every day. 2 teachers killed every day and 10 children every day on an average have lost 1 or 2 legs Just to take care of the amputated children in Gaza will demand a massive international effort. Speaker 0: The numbers, Winds put like that are staggering. Mads, I really appreciate your time. Mads Gilbert, doctor and activist, speaking to us there from

They start raping her. I saw the men standing in a half circle around her. But in his original interview from October 9th, Cohen says he chose not to look and drew conclusions based on hearing sounds. Speaker 1: He said he chose not to look, clocked.

Speaker 1: He said these were regular Gazans, these were not members of any special unit military unit by Hamas or Palestinian Speaker 0: summit.

These lies have been used to justify Israel's genocide in Gaza. There are many other issues with Raz Cohen and the mass rape stories as a whole. What are some issues that you have with the atrocity propaganda lies. Comment them below.

@MaxBlumenthal - Max Blumenthal

An update on NY Times/CNN star witness Raz Cohen: I've located the complete October 9 i24 broadcast containing his first interview. It features his interviewer, Ariel Oseran, providing a second-hand summary of comments Cohen supplied to him after bolting the interview for "emotional support" at Barzalai Hospital in Ashkelon. According to Oseran, while hiding from infiltrators from Gaza, Cohen claimed to have listened to the sounds of Palestinian infiltrators "raping Israeli women, dead, alive, some injured. He told me he could hear this." (Oseran's recounting of Cohen's comments begin at 28:35 here: https://www.facebook.com/i24NEWSEN/videos/334102042473315/) Oseran emphasized that Cohen "said he chose not to look, but he could hear them laughing constantly." He also noted Cohen's insistence that "these were regular Gazans" who were not carrying guns, and not Hamas militants. While this seems to contradict my initial finding that Cohen never mentioned witnessing rape in his October 9 interviews, it also contradicts the NY Times December 28 "Screams Without Words" investigation in which he serves as a key witness. In that article, the lead author, Jeffrey Gettleman writes, Cohen "said he then *saw* five men, wearing civilian clothes, all carrying knives and one carrying a hammer, dragging a woman across the ground." Cohen is then quoted stating, "They start raping her. I *saw* the men standing in a half circle around her." According to i24's Oseran, however, Cohen "chose not to look" at the attacks being committed in his proximity, and drew his conclusions based purely on the sounds he said he heard. The full contents of Cohen's 10/9 i24 interview therefore raise further issues about his credibility, and that of the NY Times as well. It also undercuts the Times' headline explicitly accusing Hamas of having "weaponized sexual violence," as Cohen insists those he heard – but did not see – carrying out sexual attacks were unarmed riff-raff, not Hamas commandos.

The NY Times' witness, "G," previously appeared on Republic TV and described finding a stabbed baby in a garbage can. However, this contradicts the recorded facts of the incident where only one baby, Mila Cohen, was accidentally shot, not stabbed, and not found in a garbage can. The NY Times failed to verify their sources and relied on a known liar for evidence.

It gets worse. The NY Times' supposed paramedic witness, "G," was previously interviewed by the right-wing Republic TV of India. In that appearance, he described in a distinctive Brooklyn accent how his "teammate" found "a baby, perhaps not even more than a year old, with multiple points stabbed all over his body and tossed into the garbage." This was clearly a lie because only one baby was recorded among the dead on October 7: Mila Cohen, who was accidentally shot, not stabbed, and who was not found in any garbage can. Once again, the NY Times failed to vet its sources and wound up turning to a proven fabulist for evidence.

Speaker 0: One of my teammates, he realized, he saw a dog that was barking near a trash can. And we stopped by there and he opened that trashcan and he pulled out of the garbage a baby. Perhaps maybe not even a more than a year old baby that was multiple times stabbed all over his body and tossed into the garbage.

@MaxBlumenthal - Max Blumenthal

Inspired by my reporting at @TheGrayzoneNews, this brilliant takedown by @propandco provides the strongest and most accessible refutation of the bogus atrocity propaganda Israel concocted to justify its genocidal rampage in Gaza Watch and share it widely https://t.co/Q8XawKN07Y

Video Transcript AI Summary
Secretary Blinken is accused of spreading atrocity propaganda, but the claims have been debunked. The lies are believed to come from Israeli disaster relief groups competing for attention and donations. These groups fabricate disturbing stories to raise money, targeting wealthy Jewish Westerners. One group, United Hatzalah, claimed babies were baked in ovens, raising $50 million. Another group, Zaka, lied about beheaded babies and mass rape. Despite lack of evidence, mainstream media and politicians repeat these lies, fueling the genocidal war in Gaza. The corruption within these organizations is also exposed, with Zaka's founder being a serial rapist. The investigation into these claims is being conducted by The Grey Zone, Electronic Intifada, and Manda Weiss.

Speaker 0: Have you seen this video of secretary Blinken spreading atrocity propaganda to the US Senate? Speaker 1: A family of 4, a young boy and girl, 6 8 years old, and their parents around the breakfast table. The father has eye gouged out in front of his kids. The mother's breast cut off. The girl's foot amputated. The boys' fingers cut off before they were executed, and then their executioners sat down and had a meal. That's what this society is dealing with. Speaker 0: Secretary Blinken wants you to believe that this actually happened, but the entire story is a lie. It has been thoroughly debunked. Most, If not all of the atrocity stories coming out are bogus lies. We've seen them get debunked over and over. So it begs the question, Where are these lies coming from? Who is behind them? And why do high level US officials keep repeating them? Well, the answer is likely going And to disgust you, you see, there is a sort of race to the bottom taking place right now between competing Israeli disaster relief groups. It's a competition to See who can tell the most disturbing story. Speaker 2: Oh, you saw beheaded babies? Well, I saw babies being baked in ovens. Speaker 3: Oh, that's nothing. I saw a Pregnant mother, get raped, baked, then raped again, chopped into pieces, then sold on the black market to the Hezbollah faction of the Mexican cartel. Speaker 0: It's all highly unusual, but the lies actually start to make sense when you learn who's behind them. You see, these stories are coming from disaster Relief groups that are fighting for media attention and charitable donations. These groups are in the business of raising money. And right now, Atrocity fundraising is a gold rush. Very wealthy and very emotional Jewish Westerners are opening up their wallets to organizations and charities. And these Organizations are jockeying for position as the best charity to give money to, and nothing raises money like a good story. For example, Eli Bier, the president of United Hatzalah, went on a media tour around the United States telling audiences that babies were placed in ovens and baked to death. Speaker 1: A little baby in a oven. They put him in these bastards, put these babies in a oven, and put on their Then we found the kid a few hours later. Speaker 0: This propelled him and his organization to the forefront of the media for several days, earning tons of awareness for his organization's work. He was able to leverage this media attention into several fundraisers where he managed to collect a whopping $50,000,000 from shocked and appalled donors. But, of course, the entire story was a lie. Israeli reporter, Isha Cohen, investigated and determined that the story wasn't true. Another Israeli journalist, Daim Eli Beer and the bullshit of story. Like any good Jew who sees the rich, he thought about the money and told a story That does not exist. But this lie not only raised a ton of money for Eli Beer, it did considerable damage to the ceasefire movement and cost thousands of Palestinian children their lives because Zionist influencers took this bullshit story and ran wild with it. Caroline Glick tweeted, they baked a Jewish baby alive in an oven. They murdered his father. They gang raped his mother over and over And laughed all along while they baked her baby alive in the oven. The Palestinians support Hamas. They love Hamas. No resupply. No concessions. Speaker 2: No mercy. Speaker 0: And John Paterics, in a tweet that gained In 10,000,000 views said they bake the baby in an oven. He repeats it 3 times. And then he goes on to Say say ceasefire one more time. Speaker 2: You baby murdering, loving Speaker 0: ghouls. This manufactured story manufactured outrage and provided the media and the politicians with the social space needed to get behind Israel's genocidal war, Or Gaza. United Hatzalah did eventually concede that the story was not true, blaming it on a volunteer Tyr who thought he saw such a case, but not before raising their money and not before causing damage. Hey, I get it. It happens. Your imagination can play tricks Sometimes you open an oven and you see meatloaf. Sometimes you see babies. It depends on the state of mind you're in. Unfortunately, these people seem to not only be in a victim state of mind, but also a money hungry state of mind because they are imagining a lot of bull Right now. And they're using it to raise money. And United Hatzalah isn't alone in doing this. They have a competitor in the disaster a relief space called Zaca. And this group, Zaca, is responsible for some of the most obscene atrocity imaginations. These People lied about beheaded babies. They lied about mass rape. They even lied about a fetus being cut out of its mother. And just like United Hatzalov, Zaka is hungry for money right now. Their head of operations, Yossi Landau has also gone around telling media and donors all sorts of atrocity propaganda lies. Speaker 4: Father and mother, Hands tied in the back. And on the other side, there's 2 children, a boy and a girl, hands tied in the back, and they were torched. You can see they were torched. Parents should see how the children are being torched, and the children should see how parents should be they're being torched. And in the middle, There's a full table of food with those terrorists sitting and eating while torturing them. Speaker 0: Sound familiar? This is the Same story Tony Blinken told the United States Senate. Speaker 1: And then their executioners sat down and had a meal. Speaker 0: The problem is that it's a complete lie. According to Max Blumenthal from the Gray zone, despite the presence of multiple potential witnesses, independent testimony corroborating Landau's claim has yet to surface. He goes on to point out that there were also no children that matched the age described by Yossi Landau In Kibbutz, Bieri, there are no recorded deaths of siblings around the age of 6 to 8 in Bieri on October 7th. Any record of a young child Killed is nonexistent. So it's clear then that the story is a complete fabrication. So why did Tony Blinken share it with the United States Senate? Well, it's for the same reason. They have been sharing all of their atrocity propaganda lies, to provide space and cover for the Israelis to commit war crimes and Gosh. These lies are meant to distract you from what's happening. And now Zionists are trying to convince the world that Mass rape took place. This woman is leading the so called investigation into Hamas rape, but the investigation is off to a bad star. During a presentation, she shared a picture of a dead female Kurdish fighter from another time in another place and tried to present it as evidence of a raped Victim from the Nova Music Festival. Speaker 5: Another image shows the body of a young woman stripped from the waist down, their underwear Torn, hung on one leg, and she was photographed, on the site at the Novak Music Festival. Speaker 0: And it gets worse. So far, not a single firsthand testimony or video proving allegations of mass rape has been produced. The rape stories are heavily dependent on graphic secondhand claims provided by the liars of Zaka. But it doesn't seem to matter to mainstream media and Western politicians who have been repeating the claims regardless. The UK Sunday Times, for example, quoted a Zaka staffer who said it was clear they were trying to kill, to burn, to rape. Ironically, Zaka, the group Pushing the rape claims was founded by a rapist. Yehuda Meshi Sahav, who founded DACA, was discovered to be a serial rapist of young Young people. For decades, he sexually abused boys and girls. And apparently, Yehuda also embezzled 1,000,000 of dollars from Zaka to fund his own lavish lifestyle. As the investigation to both his rapes and financial corruption escalated, Yehuda decided to do the world to favor and just kill himself. But the corruption didn't die with him. Brad Pierce, an independent scholar who Documented Zaka's corruption, described the group as the most opaque and suspicious nongovernmental organization I have ever are investigating. This is the group behind the mass rape claims. It's no wonder the world has questions for Zaka, for Landau, For everyone, but like many of the Zionists spreading wild atrocity propaganda stories, Landau seems to think that these claims should be accepted without scrutiny for evidence. According to Landau, those who have questions about his stories should be killed. This person is clearly sane. Yet mainstream media and politicians keep repeating his lies. For example, Landau lied about personally seeing children and babies beheaded at Kaffaraza. An Israeli spokesperson then took his fake story and declared a senior official in the Israeli Ordinary service has confirmed the allegation of beheaded babies. This made its way to CNN, where Sarah Sidner amplified the lie, eventually Culminating in the press conference with Joe Biden sharing it with the American people. It's like a sick game of telephone, except the end result isn't just an Accurate message. It's donation money for Zaka and genocide for Gaza. Of course, both Sarah Sytner and Joe Biden retracted their claims about beheaded babies. There are many atrocity propaganda lies to expose, and one day, we will go through them 1 by 1. For now, you should understand that these disaster relief Organizations are inventing, spinning, or exaggerating stories in order to raise obscene amounts of money, whether it's online via their website or in person at various events for their corrupt and shady disaster relief organizations. And these lies are unfortunately amplified by Western media and and politicians, which, of course, prolongs the genocidal war of retribution currently taking place in Gaza.
