Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner advocates atrocity crime
Jared Kushner addressed a Harvard event last month, where he lauded the "very valuable" real estate opportunities in Gaza and suggested that Israel should move people out and "clean it up."
Gerry Connelly commented on Jared Kushner’s stupid and insensitive comments on developing beach front property after “moving these people out,” referring to the survivors of the genocide in Gaza.
I was also stunned by Jared Kushner’s cynicism and his abysmal ignorance of international law.
You know, go in and slaughter tens of thousands of innocent people so you can “move them out of there” and develop their land for profit!
This is the face of Zionism.
It’s also illegal. An atrocity crime. Israel does not have the right to “move these people out.” In fact it did not have the right to do what it did to them in 1948
According to Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory to the territory of the Occupying Power or to that of any other country, occupied or not, are prohibited, regardless of their motive. The Statute of the International Criminal Court refers to “the deportation or transfer [by the Occupying Power] of all or parts of the population of the occupied territory within or outside this territory” as constituting as a war crime in international armed conflicts.
Never forget that Trump picked this scumbag for his shadow cabinet and that Trump seems to advocate further war on Palestinians:
After taking office in January, Trump tasked his son-in-law with resolving the decades-long conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians, dubbing it the "toughest deal in the world to make," and saying that if Kushner can't help broker peace "no one can."
Trump solves human relations problems by sweeping them under the rug. Trump and Jared did NOTHING to solve the Israel-Palestine relations problem.
With his “Abram Accords,” Trump simply took ONE side of the issue, the Israeli side, and FORCED the Palestinians to accept the unacceptable (and illegal), and now, thanks to the unswerving support of US presidents (like Biden and Trump), we have at least 100,000 dead and wounded and over a million homeless and starving in Palestine, and these pompous FOOLS are touting their “success” in handling the problem.
But what Israel has done since 1948, and particularly since Oct 7, 2023, is illegal and constitutes an atrocity crime.
To me, this makes Trump – and also Biden – toxic! Any president supporting this needs to be given a Nuremberg-type trial and then receive the same type of punishment as Hitler’s Nazis did (most were hanged).
But Trump’s “Christian” backers must also do some serious penance after this massive kill fest in Gaza, which they wholeheartedly supported.
I said this long before Oct 7:
There is no such thing as a Christian Zionist. You’re either a Christian or a Zionist. In fact, if you are a supporter of the genocidal Netanyahu regime, you are a supporter of Satanism. Being a “Christian” Zionist is a little bit like being a “Christian” human trafficker or a “Christian” pimp. Except it’s worse. Because you’re hiding behind the sacred name of Jesus to support the biggest, most powerful crime syndicate in the world. Israel.
If you have been supporting “Israel” all your life as a church member or Evangelical leader, then you should join, a group of recovering “Christian” Zionists and do what Jesus told the rich young ruler to do: sell all you have and give it to the poor.
But not just to any poor, to Gazan survivors of the Netanyahu genocide that you once supported. Get down on your knees and beg God for forgiveness for hiding behind the name of Jesus to do evil. Go to a refugee camp in Gaza and get down on your knees before the tent of a family that has lost its home and family in Gaza, beg for forgiveness and hand them a bag of money to restart their lives with. Tell them you’ll do everything in your power to help them recover what they lost. Then hug it out and cry it out with them.
Join the charity group “Recovering “Christian” Zionists” and campaign for this group. Put all your efforts into undoing the enormous pain and suffering you helped to cause for 7 long decades. Plead with your fellow Americans to vote out the SCUM in Congress and the White House that received campaign contributions from AIPAC and supported all the atrocity crimes in Palestine since Oct 7.
Help make a new America with leaders in Washington, and in the churches, who will put America first, NOT a nest of scoundrels called “Israel.”

Here’s your air strike update for Mar 22, 2024

"This has never happened before". Russia delivered the most powerful blow during the special military operation
MOSCOW, March 22 - RIA Novosti, David Narmania. Russian troops launched missile attacks on Ukrainian power infrastructure for the second day in a row. This time, the famous Dnieper Hydroelectric Power Station, the largest hydroelectric power station in Ukraine, was among the impacted facilities. Read about the consequences of the strikes in the RIA Novosti report.
"Critical condition"
Kiev authorities have already called today's attack the largest in the entire conflict. Ukrainian social networks are filled with footage of the consequences of the arrival of Russian missiles and drones. The most severe consequences will be caused by the defeat of the Dnieper Hydroelectric Power Station.
[An article in EADaily.ru points out that the likely purpose of the devastating strikes of the past 2 days is to demonstrate to both the West and Kiev that Russia absolutely has to power to destroy Ukrainian statehood and turn the country into a failed state. This should suffice to show the West that it is useless to send troops or more weapons to Ukraine or to refrain from negotiations in hopes of enabling Kiev to defeat Russia. If this is the case – as appears likely – then this war could be over asap. Your Congress critter needs to hear from you. Tell them NO to further aid and YES to negotiations.
According to the head of Ukrhydroenerho, Igor Sirota, the power plant was hit twice - on the right bank of the Dnieper HPP-1 and on the left bank of the Dnieper HPP-2.
“Two missiles landed a direct hit on GES-2, one hit the crane beams and hit a support. That is, GES-2 is now in critical condition, GES-1 is also not working now,” he noted. — We will have to completely restore the machine room and electrical equipment. We will calculate the consequences during the day and understand what happened."
[I wonder if you have noticed something peculiar in this report. While the destruction of the Kakhovka dam last July 6 was blamed on the Russians by NYT and other media outlets, we see from today’s strike on the Dnieper Hydroelectric Power Station that the Russian missile forces assiduously avoided hitting the water-retaining structure so that the dam did not burst. This strike was designed to avoid a dam burst. And that is the Russian MO. They aim to cause the least harm while achieving their goal. That is, their goal here was to stop the flow of electricity from the Dnieper power station, NOT to cause an environmental disaster such as was caused by the strike on the Kakhovka dam, which the Russians attribute to a strike by a Ukrainian Olkha missile]
Dnieper hydroelectric station
He added that it is not yet clear whether GES-2 will be able to operate at all. At the same time, due to the cessation of the station’s operation, Kirovograd was partially left without electricity. In the Kharkov, Sumy, Poltava, Odessa oblasts and parts of the DPR and Zaporozhye oblast controlled by Kiev, emergency power outage schedules have been introduced. Hundreds of thousands of homes were left without electricity. In several regions, residents are complaining about problems with the Internet.
As the Ukrainian publication Strana notes, the hydroelectric power station, built back in 1932, with a capacity of 1,569 MW, is the largest in Ukraine. It provides more than ten percent of the country's electricity generation. It was its work that preserved room for maneuver for the Kiev authorities in the event of attacks on other generation sources.
At the same time, there is no threat of a dam breakthrough, according to the head of Ukrenergo Vadim Kudrytsky. As Ukrainian media note, it was built with the option of withstanding a “limited nuclear strike.”
Other objects
The attacks on the Ukrainian energy and military infrastructure were not limited to the DneproGES alone.
Kharkov was subjected to a powerful attack - there they managed to hit the Malyshev Transport Engineering Plant, which produces tanks and other military equipment for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as two thermal power plants. According to members of the Nikolaev underground, the Starokonstantinov military airfield, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces are preparing to receive F-16 fighters donated by Western countries, also came under attack.
Checkpoint of the Motor Sich plant in Zaporozhye
Another target of the attacks was the Motor Sich aircraft engine plant in Zaporozhye. Now it is used for the production of attack UAVs and S-200 missiles. [The S-200 is designed for air defense purposes but has also been repurposed as an attack missile]
In addition, it is known that the Dnepropetrovsk Yuzhmash, which also produces drones for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, was hit. Explosions also occurred in the Ivano-Frankivsk, Khmelnitsky, Vinnytsia, Lviv oblasts, Kiev, Kharkov, Krivoy Rog and Sumy.
In one day, Ukraine faced serious damage - both to the country’s infrastructure as a whole and to the work of individual enterprises. However, such measures are not enough to destroy the Ukrainian energy system - more than half of it is provided by the operation of nuclear power plants.

A look back at the destruction of the Kakhovka dam. Putting 2 and 2 together
Today’s Russian strike on the Dnieper Hydroelectric Plant reveals the true Russian Modus Operandi in its strikes on Ukraine, which gives the lie to the June 2023 Western accusation of a deliberate Russian-caused environmental disaster. Today’s strike shows that Russia does not cause such disasters because such an outcome is not one of its objectives.
Furthermore, since the Russians aim to liberate all of Donbass and other territories with a majority of Russian mother-tongue speakers, it would be insane for it to deliberately endanger its own people and destroy their homes because, after the liberation of each area, it will be obliged to rebuild and help the people get back on their feet again. It is already rebuilding Mariupol!
NYT fake:
A deliberate explosion inside the Kakhovka dam, on the front line of the war in Ukraine, most likely caused its collapse on Tuesday, according to engineering and munitions experts, who said that structural failure or an attack from outside the dam were possible but less plausible explanations. [The author later claims Russia supposedly blew up Kakhovka from the inside]

https://ria.ru/20230606/ges-1876395696.html?ysclid=lu2s2hh4lb335510572
MOSCOW, June 6 - RIA Novosti. The upper part of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station, located in the Kherson region, was destroyed, Vladimir Leontyev, head of the administration of the Novokakhovsky urban district, said on Tuesday morning. According to him, this happened as a result of a series of attacks by Ukrainian troops last night. The strike was allegedly delivered from the Vilkha [Olkha in Ukrainian] MLRS [multiple launch rocket system, plenty of fire power to collapse the dam]. The reservoir dam itself has not been destroyed, he said. [But in fact, the dam did later burst, causing an ecological disaster to a territory that Russia claims as its own]

Death order: why Kyiv blew up the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station
The breakthrough of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station was a disaster. Colossal flows of water swept away everything in their path.
Kyiv staged a terrible terrorist attack at the Kakhovka hydroelectric station, which turned into an unprecedented disaster. Over the past months, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have fired at the dam with heavy artillery and missile systems. On the morning of June 6, the dam collapsed. Dozens of settlements on both sides of the Dnieper are in the flood zone. The lives of tens of thousands of people are at risk. Kyiv immediately blames Russia, forgetting that it has publicly promised to destroy the hydroelectric power station many times. [This is the biggest clue of all] From a military point of view, this disaster is also beneficial for Ukraine. The Ukrainian Armed Forces have the opportunity to transfer forces concentrated in this area to other sectors of the front. What is important: so far, not a single Western intelligence service has been able to confirm the accusations of the Zelensky regime. Moreover, according to the European scientific portal Theia-land, which monitors reservoirs around the world, on the eve of the terrorist attack, the water level in the Kakhovka reservoir was artificially raised from 14 to 17.5 meters. It grew steadily and rapidly due to the deliberate release of water upstream of the Dnieper, that is, in an area that is under the control of Ukrainian militants. This was done absolutely deliberately, for the sake of a sharp increase in the destructive power of the water that gushed after the explosion. The flow rate has increased at least 10 times. Izvestia war correspondent Emil Timashev reports from the scene of events.
Death order: why Kyiv blew up the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station
Kherson region. In a matter of hours, cities, villages, and towns on both sides of the Dnieper went under water. People sought salvation on the roofs of their houses, but they were carried away by the powerful stream. 40 thousand people found themselves in the disaster zone.
“The ground shook under our feet. The crane is falling,” eyewitnesses say.
These shots were taken moments before the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station was destroyed.
On June 6, at about 2 a.m., the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched a series of powerful attacks on the upper part of the station, where the valves were located. The turbine hall was also damaged. Millions of cubic meters of water rushed downstream. At the same time, the station's spans began to collapse. According to various sources, from 3 to 14 supports were destroyed.
A few hours after the shelling, the hydroelectric power station began to gradually disappear under water. And the Ukrainian Armed Forces continued to strike.
This was the last stage of the Dnieper hydroelectric power station cascade. Located 5 kilometers from Novaya Kakhovka. In this zone, the water level in the Dnieper was 17 meters. The hydroelectric power station itself has 28 spillways, a navigation lock, and earthen dams.
After the destruction of the upper part of the station, nothing could hold back the water. More than 600 square kilometers of land were flooded. Most of it is on Russian territory.
The breakthrough of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station was a disaster. Colossal flows of water swept away everything in their path. Coastal cities and towns - Golaia Pristan, Aleshki, Dnepryany - were especially affected.

Here is one reason Americans cannot afford to be anti-Semitic. Our enemy is Zionists, not Jews per se. If we take an anti-Semitic stance, then we are losing the valuable support of the many Jews who oppose the Israeli crime syndicate. We need all the help we can get! We need to support these people as brothers.

A Statement from Jewish Americans Opposing AIPAC’s Intervention in Democratic Party Politics
We are Jewish Americans who have varying perspectives. We’ve agreed to come together to highlight and oppose the unprecedented and damaging role of AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) and allied groups in U.S. elections, especially within Democratic Party primaries. We recognize the purpose of AIPAC’s interventions in electoral politics is to defeat any critics of Israeli Government policy and to support candidates who vow unwavering loyalty to Israel, thereby ensuring the United States’ continuing support for all that Israel does, regardless of its violence and illegality.
Given that Israel is so isolated internationally that it could not continue its inhumane treatment of the Palestinians without U.S. political and military support, AIPAC is an essential link in the chain that holds in place the unbearable tragedy of Israel/Palestine. In the coming U.S. elections, we need to break that chain in order to help free the people of Israel/Palestine to pursue peaceful coexistence.
In the same 2021-22 election cycle in which AIPAC endorsed Republican extremists and dozens of Congress members who’d voted against certifying Biden’s victory over Trump, the AIPAC network raised millions from Trump donors and spent the money inside Democratic primaries against progressives, mostly candidates of color. AIPAC is now vowing to spend even more millions in the 2024 Democratic primaries, targeting specific Democrats in Congress – initially all legislators of color – who’ve advocated for a Gaza ceasefire, a position supported by the vast majority of Democratic voters. AIPAC’s election spending increasingly works to defeat candidates who criticize the racist policies of Israel.
In contrast to AIPAC, we are American Jews who believe that U.S. support for foreign governments should only be extended to those that respect the full human and civil rights, and right to self-determination, of all people. We oppose all forms of racism and bigotry, including antisemitism – and we support the historic alliance in our country of Jewish Americans with African Americans and other people of color in the cause of civil rights and equal justice.
Therefore, we strongly oppose AIPAC’s attempts to dominate Democratic primary elections. We call on Democratic candidates to not accept AIPAC network funding, and demand that the Democratic leadership not allow Republican funders to use that network to deform Democratic primary elections. We will support candidates who are opposed by AIPAC, and who are advocates for peace and a new, just U.S. policy toward Israel/Palestine.

Criminal fucking Kushner? Again, these viruses get so much fucking publicity, and now we spin words around their syphilitic brains (sic)?
Oh, get those old people into the armed forces: Monsters are calling for more than $1.5 trillion in cuts to Social Security, including an increase in the retirement age to 69 and cutting disability benefits. Transitions Medicare to a premium support system that CBO has found would raise premiums for many seniors.
These people are never called out for what they are -- Dante's many actors in many of his circles of hell. Bats to their fucking heads.
Enjoy rant and some other asides, other than the feces news of the day!
