Entire northern Gaza population at risk of dying - UN

Ongoing Israeli military operations in the region disregard basic humanity and the laws of war, a top humanitarian official has said.

What Israeli forces are doing in besieged Gaza during their ongoing war against Hamas cannot be allowed to continue, the United Nation's top humanitarian official has said.
"The entire population of north Gaza is at risk of dying," Joyce Msuya, acting Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and UN Emergency Relief Coordinator, warned on Saturday, in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
Israel has struck hospitals in the region, detained health workers and prevented first responders from rescuing people trapped under the rubble, according to the official.
"Shelters have been emptied and burned down...families have been separated, and men and boys taken away by the truckload," she said, adding that "such blatant disregard for basic humanity and for the laws of war must stop."

Comment: While Israel is committing grave atrocities against Palestinians in Gaza, the so-called "civilized world" silently allows this to happen and finances it. These actions may be even worse than the atrocities committed by the Nazis during World War II.

Data show illegal immigrants could tip election for Harris

Illegal immigrants who entered the United States under the Biden-Harris administration could swing this and future elections for Democrats, recently released data show.

The data, reported by MarketWatch, found that the illegal alien populations in seven key swing states grew by an average of 515 percent since Biden and Harris took office, during which time an estimated 10 million illegal aliens entered the country. In two of those states, Arizona and Michigan, the illegal alien population grew more than 700 percent. In real numbers, this growth eclipses the margin of victory from each state's respective winner in the 2020 election.

This trend could help tip the scales for Harris in November, and other Democrat candidates going forward. Foreign-born voters swung largely for Democrats in 2020, and a recent study from the Center for Immigration Studies found that illegal immigrants could swing the election to Harris.

Quiet before the storm

"I just can't wait for this campaign to be over."
- The American people
Enjoy these last nasty days of the presidential election - they are the quiet before the storm. As long as the race continues, each side's anger is reined in by the hope of victory. Once a winner is declared, the loser's rage will erupt. This political Vesuvius promises to inflame the land as events unfold in these final days to maximize furious disappointment.

Donald Trump's side is becoming ever more confident of victory. In recent weeks, RealClearPolitics Polling Averages show Harris' national lead evaporating while Trump has moved slightly ahead in all six battleground states. Betting markets are now giving Trump the edge.

Still, the polls are very close, and Harris may win. If Trump could insist that he won the 2020 race when all the polls predicted his defeat, just imagine his response if he fails when he appeared to be succeeding. He will not go quietly into the good night.

Kamala Harris, meanwhile, has settled on a closing argument that focuses on Trump's alleged unsuitability for office. As the candidate herself describes her opponent as an unstable threat to the Constitution, her surrogates are once again comparing him to Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini. They honestly believe this rhetoric, which will make it impossible for them to bow to his ascension.

BRICS just dropped a manifesto for the new world order

The 134 points adopted by the group's leaders in the document have potentially profound implications.

This week's Kazan Declaration suggests that the BRICS - in its expanded composition- is ready to open a new chapter in its history. Never before have such voluminous documents been adopted as a result of the group's summits. Moreover, the Kazan Declaration will be the subject of great interest in the world's political and academic circles, as well as the object of criticism by opponents of BRICS.

For the first time, the group's unified vision of the current state of the international system is set out in detail.

The Declaration is a voluminous document containing 134 paragraphs, some of which are quite long. The statement adopted at the previous summit in Johannesburg in August 2023, contained only 94 paragraphs, and a document, adopted in Beijing in July 2022 had 75. Thus, year by year the outcome has become increasingly detailed and, as it is now customary to say, substantive, reflecting the gradual increase in the intensity of the group's engagement and the broadening of the substantive scope of its multilateral cooperation.

The Kazan Declaration consists of a preamble and four sections dealing with: (1) strengthening multilateralism, (2) global and regional security, (3) financial and economic cooperation, and (4) humanitarian exchanges. This division seems reasonable and in line with the priorities of the Russian chairmanship announced a year ago.

Trump to make Ukraine the EU's problem

The former president wants the US to play no role in guaranteeing peace between Moscow and Kiev, according to one of his advisers.

Donald Trump will leave the enforcement of any peace deal between Russia and Ukraine to European powers, one of the former US president's advisers has told the Financial Times. The plan is one of several floated by Trump's advisers and allies, all of which involve the US refusing to deal with the aftermath of the conflict.

Trump has promised to bring a rapid end to the ongoing conflict if he is elected president in November. However, he has offered few specifics as to how he would do this, save for pressing Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky into peace talks with US aid to Kiev as leverage.

In the absence of any concrete peace plan, a host of Trump's current and former advisers have outlined how they think the former president could achieve this goal.

Comment: Unfortunately for Trump, should he be the next president, the US is up to its eyebrows in Ukraine war complicity.

Brazil's veto of Venezuela's BRICS bid exposes multipolar rift

brazil european union flags
The Venezuelan Question is a black-and-white issue: one either supports Lula and Biden's regime change efforts in Venezuela, with each advancing this in their own but still coordinated way, or they support Maduro and Putin's defense of Venezuela's independence and sovereignty.

Brazil's ruling Workers' Party (PT per its Portuguese abbreviation) has presented itself as an Ibero-American champion of multipolarity since its inception, as has its leader President Lula since his first term began in 2003, but these narratives are now challenged like never before after last week. Brasil de Fato cited diplomatic sources to report that Brazil vetoed Venezuela's BRICS partnership request while Putin also acknowledged during a press conference that Russia and Brazil disagree on Venezuela.

This outcome was made all the more scandalous by Lula's unexpected "head injury" that was allegedly responsible for him not flying to Kazan and Venezuelan President Maduro's surprise visit to the event. Lula might have either made-up his injury or exaggerated it in order not to embarrass himself any further by arguing in person against his multipolar neighbor's requested BRICS partnership. He might also have caught wind of Maduro's plans and thus ducked out in order to avoid a potential confrontation there.

Russian parliament ratifies security treaty with North Korea

Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin claimed this week that thousands of Pyongyang's troops had arrived on Russian soil.

The Russian State Duma, the lower chamber of the parliament, has ratified a bilateral treaty with North Korea which President Vladimir Putin signed during his visit to Pyongyang in June and submitted to the chamber earlier this month.

The agreement, which was approved on Thursday, outlines the comprehensive cooperation that the two countries intend to maintain, including on national security issues. Its provisions state that neither side will enter treaties with third parties that infringe on the other's sovereignty. In the event of an attack on one of the nations, the other vows to provide support, including with military means, as allowed by the UN Charter.

Warning

Israel warned Iran ahead of latest strike - Axios

IDF warplanes launched multiple missiles early on Saturday, targeting a number of facilities in the Islamic Republic.

Israel relayed a warning to Iran through several third parties ahead of its missile strike against the Islamic Republic on Saturday, Axios has reported, citing three anonymous sources. According to the media outlet, West Jerusalem indicated what type of targets it would attack, while cautioning Tehran against retaliating.

Early on Saturday, IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari reported that Israeli forces were conducting "precise strikes on military targets" in Iran. The operation, reportedly codenamed 'Days of Repentance,' was being launched "in response to months of continuous attacks from the regime in Iran against the State of Israel," he clarified.

Axios reported:
The Israelis made it clear to the Iranians in advance what they are going to attack in general and what they are not going to attack. This reflected an attempt to limit the ongoing exchange of attacks between Israel and Iran and prevent a wider escalation. Israel also warned the Islamic Republic against responding to its attack, threatening a more devastating strike if Tehran does retaliate.



Comment: Unbelievable...literally. Israeli bravado is an attempt to draw in its allies.

Trash Carried by a North Korean Balloon Again Falls on the Presidential Compound in Seoul

Trash carried by a North Korean balloon fell on the presidential compound in central Seoul on Thursday for the second time, raising concerns about the vulnerability of key South Korean sites.

The incident comes after the rival Koreas ramped up threats and rhetoric against each other over North Korea's claims that South Korea flew drones over its capital Pyongyang to scatter propaganda leaflets this month.

No dangerous items were found in the rubbish that was dropped on the ground when one of the North Korean balloons burst over the South Korean presidential compound on Thursday morning, South Korea's presidential security service said in a statement.

North Korea has sent thousands of balloons carrying bags of rubbish like plastic and paper waste into South Korea since late May in a resumption of a Cold War-style psychological campaign. The trash that fell on the South Korean presidential compound in July contained no hazardous materials as well.

Speaking of Abortion

"Good rule of thumb: those who frequently use the word "disinformation" are the ones most likely to be pushing it" — Elon Musk
What were they thinking after they shoved "Joe Biden" into the abyss, like an old refrigerator over the edge of the landfill, and afterward settled — instantly it appears, with no process at all — on Kamala Harris to lead the party to victory in the fall election? I will tell you: they were not thinking at all. The collective mind of the Democrat elite was a vast vacuum devoid of thought, mass, or light, like a corner of deepest space, lacking even a particle of cosmic debris to evoke the existence of existence.

Such mindlessness was the consummate expression of a party that for eight years worked every angle of political mental illness toward the loss of its mind, driven by whatever dark energy seeks escape from truth, life, and God — whatever is opposite of creation and being. What you are witnessing is a colossal act of being un-born. The party put out a call to the universe and the universe ordered. . . an abortion of the Democratic Party! You are reminded again: be careful of what you wish for.
