Iran’s retaliatory attacks on its neighbors, and the U.S. failure to plan for them, are forcing the Gulf Cooperation Council states to reconsider their regional strategies and their relationship with Washington.

"Violent radical leftism is on the rise and its role in Quentin Deranque's death demonstrates the threat it poses to public safety," the US State Department's bureau of counter-terrorism posted on social media. Under-secretary for public diplomacy Sarah Rogers said that Washington was watching the case closely.
Note also that this American official is funnelling US cash to EU far right.

Researchers on social violence in France have been quick to emphasise that far-right groups continue to perpetrate the bulk of politically motivated killings, increasingly targeting Muslims, immigrants and Jews as well as left-wing opponents. Sociologist Isabelle Sommier stressed that of the 57 deaths linked to violence between political groups recorded between 1986 and 2017, the radical right had been responsible for all but five.
france24.com Video footage shows a brief scuffle as counter-protesters tried to snatch a banner carried by Némésis activists, dragging several to the ground - a scuffle from which Deranque appears to have kept his distance. Instead, the violence that led to the 23-year-old student's death broke out hundreds of metres away from the university, on the other side of a dark tunnel burrowing under the railway tracks reaching towards the city's main train station. The moments leading up to Deranque's fatal beating are still fiercely debated, with a video published by anti-fascist site Contre-Attaque showing a group of more than a dozen armed and masked ultranationalist militants charging a group of far-left militants at the junction outside the tunnel. Subsequent footage published by Le Canard Enchaîné shows a fierce clash between a bloc of black-clad far-right militants, some armed with pepper spray, reinforced gloves, a metal crutch and a pyrotechnic flare, and a group of anti-fascist militants, largely in street clothes. Members of both groups were masked and traded blows. At one point in the video, a far-right militant ignites the pyrotechnic flare and hurls it at the head of one of his opponents. Another blasts the leftists with what seems like pepper spray as his comrades ١٠.٠
This account of the bashing death of a young white supremacist antisemite in France makes it sound like it was only v bad luck for him that he was the one to die when heavily equipped Neo Nazis attacked leftists in street clothes. Right is using it to discredit Left. www.france24.com/en/france/20...

Study: Characteristics of young children hospitalized with acute respiratory failure from infection with RSV, SARS-CoV-2, or both, November 2023–March 2024
Published: 04 March 2026

"Babies with COVID-19 develop more serious disease than those with RSV, US data reveal."
• Hospitalised children under 2 with COVID-19 had higher severe illness risk than RSV
• Ventilators: 39% of COVID ICU babies vs 16% with RSV
• Deaths: 2.9% COVID vs 0.4% RSV among hospitalised infants
“Albanese has handed over our sovereignty, our tax dollars, our dignity, for belly rubs, selfies, invisible submarines, business as usual with fascists, and eternal genocide. May he be judged accordingly.“
It took two hours for Albanese to declare support for the latest US/Israeli war crimes.
How long has it taken the Labor Party to consider raising the rate? To halting fossil fuels? To seriously address the racism to First Nations and Muslims?
The ALP in your head is long dead.
this is heartbreaking, even more so because of how preventable it was. we know from covid how important it is to have proper ventilation and air filtration. the most vulnerable are continuing to be left to die because remodeling is more expensive than paying out some 'shut up' money
This comes on the back of reports of multiple organ transplant patients dying at Prince Alfred Hospital due to mould. Our hospitals are moudly death traps but don’t worry everyone, Albanese is sending $380bn to America and gifting their pedophile rapist president a gold-plated figurine.
Medical sources confirm a “widespread increase in infections” across Gaza. The list reads like a medieval plague text: Acute respiratory infections Hepatitis A – from contaminated water and poor sanitation Diarrheal diseases – more than 25 times pre-October 2023 levels Scabies and lice – epidemic proportions in crowded shelters Polio – re-emerged after 25 years, with a 10-month-old infant paralysed
The Palestinian statement documented: Depleted uranium – radioactive heavy metal that burns into respirable dust on impact White phosphorus – chemical weapon that causes horrific burns and contaminates soil Industrial chemicals and heavy metals from destroyed factories and military equipment
There's a reason a lot of Palestinian accounts are posting about themselves or their family getting sick. And its not just cramped conditions, living in tents, malnutrition and poor sanitation. Its the remains of deadly weapons, and industrial waste from bombings.

President Xi, my people yearn for newly constructed hospitals that aren't riddled with mold, we welcome you as liberators
No for real though
1/2 "America, having utterly failed to provide a legal basis for its illegal violence and having failed to achieve anything of actual value, is pursuing a white supremacist Christian crusade as its rationale, and Israel is happily riding the wave."

I wrote about the war on Iran, the racist colonial narratives that suffuse it, the rank obscenity and stupidity of it all but especially that of the Australian government’s response so far. sakr.substack.com/p/albanese-t...
2/2 "The question remains: why the hell is Australia backing this racist, colonial barbarity?" @omarsakr.bsky.social #auspol
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
SHOULD THE U.S BLOT OUT THE SUN AND USHER IN AN AGE OF ETERNAL DARKNESS? - Gallup 2/20/26-3/5/26
NO - 41%
YES - 38%
UNSURE - 21%
This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

I wonder if this information 'gets through to' the diaspora. . .it certainly doesn't get through to the uneducated Murdoch clan or other main-stream media.

Why is anybody surprised?
The top 1%, through our woeful education system and corrupt media, ensure that most people don't understand our preferential voting system; let alone what each party represents.

🚨 THIS IS MASSIVE AND NO ONE IS COVERING IT.
Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, and Qatar are all talking about pulling their money out of America.
All of them. At the same time.
Israel has killed at least 633 Palestinians and injured at least 1,703 since the ceasefire began on October 10.
In total, they have killed at least 72,117 Palestinians and injured at least 171,801 since the beginning of its genocide in Gaza.
Not unlike saying "at least those little Iranian school-girls won't be forced to wear a hijab now. . ."
What an inflexible Zionista this bloke is.
Inequality kills growth. Not wealth taxes.
The IMF studied decades of cross-country data and found:
“Higher inequality lowers growth.”
