@csiwriter.bsky.social most Israelis are pro war
Or were until they started being flogged by the First Nation to stand up to them
Iran
Now others are also hitting back
At last
Israel has long been a Nation of bullies and extremists

This’ nothing to do with being Jewish
It’s all about Zionism

So much “winning.” 🙄

No BS.

Australia at the Crossroads: Why Mark Carney’s Warning Matters — and Why Blind Loyalty to Washington Is Becoming a Strategic Liability Canada’s Prime Minister told Australia that middle powers must unite or risk “subordination”. The real question is whether Canberra is brave enough to listen.

A quiet warning just landed in Canberra.
Canada says middle powers must unite or risk subordination to superpowers.
Australia applauded politely.
But the implications reach far beyond Australia.
Here’s why this moment matters globally.

War, Sanctions and the New Axis: Accelerating a China–Iran–Venezuela Alliance As Israel & the United States confront Iran, Washington’s pressure on Tehran and Caracas is deepening China’s ties with Iran and Venezuela — accelerating the multipolar realignment it claims to resist

War, Sanctions and the New Axis: Accelerating a China–Iran–Venezuela Alliance As Israel & the United States confront Iran, Washington’s pressure on Tehran and Caracas is deepening China’s ties with Iran and Venezuela — accelerating the multipolar realignment it claims to resist

The Israel–U.S. war against Iran is real and escalating.

But it’s also intersecting with pressure on Venezuela — another major Chinese energy partner.

That overlap matters.

Full analysis just dropped.

The American Truth Decay Dictionary — Freedom™ (U.S. Variant) How Washington rebrands war as wellness, escalation as ethics, and missiles as moral clarity — from Iraq to Iran.

The U.S. doesn’t sell war. It sells “Freedom™.” Different label. Same smoke. Here’s how to translate it:

In 2020, Kevin Rudd and Malcolm Turnbull backed Australia’s largest e‑petition, with over 500,000 signatures for a royal commission into media diversity.

The need has never been greater given what is happening in America right now.

Have you also noticed the large number of news events covering Iran being filed / reported from Israel?

It’s not. They’ve lost their independence, if they even had it. Just a propaganda outlet literally being fed its news stories directly from Canberra and Tel Aviv.

Apple, Israel, and the Quiet Arms Race Inside Your Head When “innovation” starts looking suspiciously like prediction

Silicon Valley’s AI race is increasingly running through Israel’s defence-linked tech ecosystem. Apple, Google, and the uncomfortable future of machines that think they know what you’re about to do.

What does it take to cross the line?

Thank you to Greenland for providing emergency medical care to a US sailor on board the submarine, since we did not have adequate resources in the area to treat him. I’m sorry that our president felt the need to cover up our shortcomings with a deranged ghost hospital ship post.

Cuba, America, and the Perpetual Threat That Isn’t How Six Decades of US Sanctions, Embargo Politics, and Anti-Socialist Ideology Turned a Poor Island into a Perpetual “Threat”

Cuba isn’t a military threat to the United States. It’s an ideological one. A poor country achieving social outcomes that challenge a much richer neighbour. This article looks at sanctions, healthcare, and sixty years of political hypocrisy.

👍 Thanks v much.

Both of your articles are of course excellent & the "Further Reading" details in each are similarly excellent 🏆

Worthy reads - and worthy re-posts too.

Many thanks and much appreciated.

The Curious Case of Apple’s Dumb Siri and the Billion-Dollar Brain Drain: How a tech company obsessed with privacy spent ten years quietly building a surveillance empire.

Interesting, thanks.

I wrote two articles about these problems around a year ago. If you’re interested, I’ll link the second one below, which in turn links to the first one:

Not recently, but I spent a lot of time there between around 2005 - 2010. It’s a very pretty place.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

You need to go further south!

@eff.org But does it really make any difference now? If onboard AI processing mean our devices read our content before & after encryption then Apple, Google & chip manufacturers have already broken encryption by circumventing it. That’s like encrypting something after you broadcast it. Am I wrong?

A Baseline of Deception: Ari Ben-Menashe, the Art of Mixing Truth with Lies — and Why It Matters Now... How an ex-intelligence operative, professional lobbyist, & geopolitical raconteur keeps colliding with real history, & why reading Ben-Menashe in hindsight tells us more than reading him in real time.

As the Epstein files resurface and reshape public debate, one name keeps appearing in the background of the narrative: Ari Ben-Menashe. This article examines his long-standing claims, their influence on how the story is told, and why scepticism alone isn’t enough.
