🌧️ The war without end in Gaza

Israel's latest plan to occupy Gaza City reveals that the assault on Gaza is more than just a war over territory. It is a war to extend, suspend, and dictate the tempo of killing and destruction - to exhaust Gaza into submission. It appears that Israel has descended into a state of unrestrained hubris — relentlessly inaugurating and re-inaugurating military campaigns in Gaza, each one collapsing into the next in an almost mechanical cycle, as though strategy itself has been subsumed by the imperative to project force without respite. Since the genocide's inception on October 7th, these have included a succession of named operations — Iron Swords, Guardian of the Walls, Shield and Arrow, and Gideon's Chariots — each framed as a discrete phase but unified in their genocidal logic and cumulative devastation. One need only look to the manifold and vile forms through which Israel enacts its daily massacres in the Gaza Strip: massacres at aid distribution sites, massacres executed...

🔥 Kaliningrad gambit: NATO's last desperate bluff/spark for World War III?

With Ukraine's defences collapsing and Russia gaining the upper hand, NATO's provocative focus on Kaliningrad risks triggering a nuclear escalation that could end any remaining prospects for diplomacy. As many foresaw, the situation for Ukraine's Western-backed proxy regime is unraveling fast. Russian forces are pushing forward with increasing momentum — Chasov Yar has reportedly fallen, and Pokrovsk and Kostiantynivka facing operational encirclement. The Eastern Front may soon collapse entirely. Kiev appears outgunned and undermanned, the result of Russia's grinding attritional strategy — high firepower, low casualties — not the reckless assault tactics portrayed in Western media. In response, Washington is shifting gears — talking nuclear subs and floating threats against Kaliningrad, Russia's fortified Baltic enclave, a move that may only harden Moscow's resolve — and shift the conflict into a far more dangerous phase.

🌧️ Zionism won't stop, the Arab world must collapse

In Greater Israel, there can only be Israeli Zionism. Christianity and Islam must first be exploited, then banned. The plan is clear Four weeks after the signing of the Abraham Accords — signed on September 15, 2020, with U.S. mediation and involving the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain — Israeli urban planning authorities authorized the construction of 4,948 new homes in the occupied territories of the West Bank. No significant public statements, no troop movements: just bureaucratic approvals marking a further step in the expansion of Israel's presence. This advance, shrouded in the rhetoric of 'peace', took place in silence, reflecting a well-established approach: proceed with normalization when the region is compliant and intensify colonization when international attention wanes. This logic is rooted in the expansionist model of Zionism: where possible, military force is used; where this is not convenient or feasible, soft penetration is used in the form of security agreements,...

🇮🇱 SOTT FOCUS: Israel Assassinates 'Voice of Gaza,' Al Jazeera Journalist Anas al-Sharif

The Israeli army assassinated Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif and several of his colleagues on Sunday in a targeted airstrike on a journalists' tent outside al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. The strike has effectively wiped out the entire staff of Al Jazeera in Gaza City, claiming the lives of one child and six journalists, including Al Jazeera correspondent Muhammad Qreiqeh. Widely celebrated as the "voice of Gaza," al-Sharif's assassination comes after months of incitement against him and puts an end to his coverage ahead of an expected Israeli invasion of Gaza City. The Israeli army has reportedly given Gaza City residents until October 7 to evacuate, when the Israeli army reportedly plans to invade northern Gaza as part of its stated plan of conquering the entire Strip. Al-Sharif and Qreiqeh each have two children. Both stayed behind in northern Gaza as their families fled south when Israel forcibly displaced the population at the beginning of the genocide in late 2023....

🔥 Venus and Jupiter conjunction: How to watch the 2 brightest planets 'kiss' on Aug. 12

Venus and Jupiter will meet in a conjunction in the early morning hours of Aug. 12. Here's everything you need to know to spot the two brightest planets at their best. Just as the Perseid meteor shower approaches its peak, two luminous planets are getting in on the night-sky action. Venus and Jupiter, the two brightest planets in the sky, will meet in a conjunction very early on Tuesday morning (Aug. 12). On this morning, the two planets will be less than a degree apart — approximately the length of your pinkie when held up to the sky at arm's length. Because they'll appear close together, you'll be able to view both simultaneously through skywatching binoculars or a backyard telescope. But if you want to see the conjunction, you'll have to either stay out late or get up early: Venus and Jupiter rise together around 3 a.m. local time and set together around 6 a.m. local time. However, these times vary slightly depending on your exact location. You can use Time and Date to check the...

🏛️ Canadians in Nova Scotia now banned from using public forests

Tyranny is a process of acclimation. Governments test the public to see what they will quietly tolerate; leaders then turn "temporary" restrictions into permanent laws as people are conditioned to accept the new normal. Sometimes the public fights back and officials are forced to retreat. However, the tests never end and the bureaucracy continues to press year after year until it gets what it wants. Many commentators have noticed that the Canadian government has been expediting this authoritarian process in recent years to the point that the intentions of elitist politicians can no longer be misunderstood. The mask is fully off and the country is becoming a draconian cesspool. From censorship laws, to gun bans, to carbon taxes and even legislation that turns Christian worship into "hate speech", Canada is almost every bit as cooked as their commonwealth cousins in Britain.

👔 Will Jubilee host the next Presidential debate?

Jubilee has become one of the go-to open forums for debate in the digital age. Videos like: "Flat Earthers vs Scientists," "1 Conservative vs. 20 Feminists," and, "What Makes a Real Man?" are just some of the few topics they cover. <br><br>It's what caused The Atlantic staff writer <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/author/spencer-kornhaber/"target="_blank" >Spencer Kornhaber</a> to write his article, "<a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2025/01/jubilee-media-profile/681411/"target="_blank" >Jubilee is Like Gen-Z's 'Jerry Springer Show</a>'". <br><br>But their most recent video, "1 Progressive vs 20 Far-Right Conservatives," has gone viral for what some feel is a dangerous platforming of fascist ideals.

🤖 Did life start on the ocean floor — and what does that mean for alien life?

How did life start on Earth? The answer is a big scientific mystery scientists are actively investigating. After talking with many scientists, host Regina G. Barber found that an abundance of water on Earth is most likely key, in some way, to the origin of life — specifically, in either deep sea hydrothermal vents or in tide pools. It's for this reason some scientists are also exploring the potential for life in so-called "water worlds" elsewhere in the solar system, like some of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn. This episode, Regina digs into two water-related hypotheses for the origin on life on Earth — and what that <em>might</em> mean for possible alien life.<br><br><em>Have another scientific mystery you want us to cover on a future episode?
