Let Them Eat Dirt, by Mr. Fish

Shock, horror!

Israel has rejected a ceasefire plan from Hamas, stating that "there is no other solution than absolute victory".

The rejection is just another piece of evidence which South Africa can submit to the ICJ as further evidence that Israel has one, single objective, to eradicate Palestinians from Palestinian land by killing them.

Nobody believes that Israel will be 'absolutely victorious' because you can't kill an idea. Their military has already failed at their objective of destroying Hamas.

The victory Israeli leadership is planning a far, far more horrific outcome, as we learn from Chris Hedges.

Let Them Eat Dirt

Those words above, and that report by Dave DeCamp are mere dust compared to Chris Hedges' latest piece. It combines the evidence and testimony of a seasoned reporter with the elegant, brutal clarity of a master writer at his craft.

Political Suicide in Kiev

Dave DeCamp cites a Politico article in his report that 'elenski thinks he's fired Zaluzny. I would not be so sure. Zaluzny is not only strongly supported by the military but several of Ukraine's oligarchs who see that the president is extremely weak.

The political infighting further drains whatever morale the AFU’s frontline soldiers still possess, as observed by Col. Daniel Davis recently on The Duran.

$1 Billion USD of Lost Weapons Arm the Upcoming Insurgency

Reuters, in classic imperialist style, reports that the US DoD has 'poorly tracked' some aid to Ukraine. That tracking was certainly not voluntary, but required by Congress due to reports over a year ago that two thirds of 'military aid' (yes, that Euphemism again) was not reaching the front lines.

Last month's Inspector General report from the DoD stated that $1 billion USD of weaponry has disappeared. I assert that this was the entire point, so that the soon to arrive insurgency, to run terror campaigns in the style of the Operation Gladio stay behind armies (c.f The Bologna Massacre), is effectively armed.

No doubt plenty of that 'effective arming' also ended up in the pockets of Ukrainian oligarchs as it sloshed around the Ukrainian black market for weapons. Everybody is happy: the CIA, the MIC, the Congress critters, both Presidents and the Ukrainian oligarchs.

Once again, it will be Ukrainians who die.

Of course, Reuters does not link to the IG’s report. But here in the independent media you can be sure that you get the data.

Sanction Tucker!

Alex Christoforou in his latest bulletin covers the soon to be published interview with Vladimir Putin by Tucker Carlson. It has produced a response from the MICIMATT'ers that completely justifies Caitlin Johnstone's analysis that narrative is all they have and that they will defend it at all costs. Former EU technocats, European national leaders and MEPs are calling for investigations into Carlson to lead to travel banning, or sanctions or other stupidity. Meanwhile Queen of Warmongers Billary has rolled out the tired phrase of "useful idiot" to libel Tucker for doing what interviewers do.

Lets just sit back and watch them all run around making fools of themselves and laugh as their narratives unwind and reality asserts itself.
