Time Zone (J. Lydon, Afrika Bambaataa & B. Laswell) - World Destruction (1984)
This is a world destruction, your life ain't nothing. The human race is becoming a disgrace. Countries are fighting with chemical warfare. Not giving a damn about the people who live.
"As animações com o uso de Lego viralizaram, especialmente no Tik Tok e no X.
Elas são atribuídas ao cartunista Mahdi Hemmat, que é de origem iraniana e vive nos Estados Unidos.
É uma produção sofisticada, que vem
acompanhada de versos em rap que descrevem Donald Trump como um mitômano
de dedos pequenos e gordurosos, a serviço de Benjamin Netanyahu."
History’s cattiest warmonger, Donald Trump, continues to
publicly dangle a US invasion of Cuba, the island nation that his
administration has been strangling to death with a brutal, months-long energy blockade.
“We may stop by Cuba after we’re finished with this,” Trump said Monday – meaning once his disastrous war in Iran actually ends.
It was an insane moment, as Trump stood next to a woman wearing a “DoorDash grandma” shirt for a corporate White House photo-op. (At the same event, Trump claimed he had only mistakenly committed blasphemy when he posted an image depicting himself as Jesus, because he thought it was “me as a doctor.”)
This isn’t the first time the president has threatened to invade Cuba. It’s not even the first time he’s made this threat during the US-Israeli war in Iran, which is throttling the global economy. “Cuba is going to be next,” Trump said two weeks ago.
It would be one thing if President Trump were only mouthing off for the cameras. He’s not.
In
recent days, according to two sources familiar with the situation and
another person briefed on it, officials at the Pentagon and elsewhere in
the US government were quietly given a new directive that came straight
from the Trump White House. The message: ramp up your preparations for
possible military operations against Cuba.
Over the course of two years, Israeli forces systematically destroyed
the Gaza Strip’s health system. Their attacks in Iran and Lebanon follow
a disturbingly similar pattern.
"Since the start of Operations Roaring Lion and Epic Fury, critics have charged that Israel is expanding its Gaza doctrine—a
combination of mass displacement, mass killing, and mass destruction of
civilian infrastructure—to other parts of the Middle East. (In some
sense this is a return of “the Dahiyeh doctrine,” named after the
neighborhood in Beirut’s southern suburbs that the Israeli military
ruthlessly pummelled during the 2006 Lebanon War—only in Gaza the
destruction was not confined to a specific area and the people living
within it but became the military’s modus operandi throughout the
territory.) Israel, surprisingly or not, has embraced the accusation,
dropping leaflets on Beirut reminding the city’s residents of the
Israeli military’s “great success in Gaza.” One of the more pronounced
features of the Gaza doctrine—and of contemporary warfare more
generally—is turning life-saving medical sites like hospitals, health
clinics, and ambulances into targets: it was the “deliberate and
systematic dismantling of Gaza’s health and life-sustaining systems”
that Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI) cited to argue that the
Israeli military’s conduct in the Strip met the legal definition of
genocide. The reports emerging out of Iran and Lebanon raise the deeply
troubling prospect that Israel hopes to replicate that “success” abroad."

‘Her head was broken’: parents at Iranian school bombed by US describe their worst day
"Nothing prepared him for what he saw when he entered the gates. “Arya’s classroom had been completely destroyed – there was absolutely nothing left,” he says. “It was flattened to the ground.” This moment – the sight through the gate, the thick cloud of dust obscuring the blue sky – was the worst he endured. Then, Bahadori stepped to the ruins to look for his boy. Over and over, he and the men would grip a piece of rubble, heave it upwards together, look for a child underneath."
At last, David has landed a double punch on the tech Goliaths. Now to hit them even harder
"She describes how the company, able to track users’ activity on and off the platform, could see when, for example, girls aged between 13 and 17 deleted a selfie. Realising that signalled the girls’ dissatisfaction with their appearance, the company saw a way to monetise that unhappiness. For a fee, a cosmetics company could serve a beauty ad to those children at that very moment.
Facebook did not hide this behaviour; they boasted of it. Wynn-Williams reveals how Facebook made a presentation for an Australian client, bragging that its ability to monitor users’ online lives – their posts, their photos, their conversations with friends – enabled them to know exactly when teenage girls were feeling “worthless”, “insecure”, “stressed”, “defeated”, “anxious”, “stupid”, “useless” and “like a failure”. Those were optimal moments for selling."
"Creso, que entrou para a história como anedota, enviou um emissário para consultar o Oráculo de Delphos. O emissário perguntou se o rei deveria atravessar o rio e lançar-se à guerra contra os persas. A resposta do oráculo foi uma dessas obras-primas da ambiguidade: se Creso atravessasse o rio, destruiria um grande império. Satisfeito, o rei ouviu apenas a parte que agradava ao seu desejo, entendeu que destruiria a Pérsia. Atravessou o rio, iniciou a guerra e destruiu, de fato, um grande império: o seu."
A ascensão da extrema direita no mundo é filha das redes sociais —eis uma verdade que, se ainda não foi provada cientificamente, acredito que logo será.
Quando explodiu de vez, perto da virada do século, a internet vinha embalada em fumos humanistas de biblioteca universal e plataforma democrática de informação e voz para todos. Quem se lembra?
Era um progressismo vago que não negava a origem pós-hippie do Vale do Silício. Seu teor de ingenuidade era elevado. A internet permitia fazer coisas antes impensáveis, mas aquele otimismo inicial padecia de um grave viés do bem.

O sonho era que, tendo subitamente acesso imediato a toda a informação disponível na Terra, cada pessoa teria a chance de desenvolver ao máximo seu potencial humano e comunitário.
Os seres humanos se tornariam mais sábios e, devido ao debate permanente de suas sabedorias na ágora imaterial —sempre com a vitória do melhor argumento—, infinitamente ponderados na média.
Corta para o presidente dos EUA anunciando em rede social: "Uma civilização inteira morrerá esta noite". Opa, parece que alguma coisa deu errado, não? Convém voltar algumas casas.
Sim, é óbvio que a internet nunca foi um empreendimento humanitário —aquela era só uma das histórias que ela contava sobre si mesma. Nova fronteira de negócios basicamente privados, logo começava a bombar.
Ao lado da biblioteca e da sala de aula que os idealistas trataram de transferir para o mundo digital, transferiram-se também partes menos nobres e mais rentáveis do empreendimento humano.

O submundo do crime e os exércitos de golpistas, as coberturas duplex do crime e os salões da jogatina, além de um tipo de lixo populista audiovisual que era uma mutação maligna da TV —tudo migrou junto.
Como o mundo propriamente dito —que agora era necessário qualificar de analógico—, o mundo que cada um de nós passou a habitar via tela sempre foi movido pela busca do lucro, que seria redundante qualificar de inescrupulosa.
A diferença é que, no digital, havia ainda mais recursos para explorar as fraquezas humanas que o crime sempre explorou —como o vício. Nossa própria existência online virou então uma sucessão de armadilhas para capturar atenção. Os produtos éramos nós.
As redes sociais redesenharam por completo o ambiente da informação, realizando a promessa de dar "voz" a todos, e adivinha —em vez de debates democráticos e médias ponderadas, vimos um pega pra capar.
Dedo no olho do inimigo, campanhas de ódio, cinismo rampante, terraplanismo, uma usina de desinformação política que nunca dorme. Sitiadas atrás de suas telas, deprimidas e absolutamente sós em sua interconexão digital plena, as pessoas estão vulneráveis.
Metade da humanidade parece ter hoje um fraco pelo caminho apontado pela extrema direita, essa mistura de "salve-se quem puder" com "farinha pouca, meu pirão primeiro" e "morte ao diferente" que de resto surpreende pouco em tempos tingidos de apocalipse.
Eu me pergunto se ainda vai dar para salvar alguma coisa daquele sonho de 2000, que afinal era bem bonito.
Prerequisites to prove you’ve got what it takes to run DHS under Trump:
JEFFREY ST. CLAIR
+ Markfortwayne Mullin describing, with evident pleasure, his
daughter pleading with him not to spank (ie, abuse) her…“She’s like,
‘No, Daddy. No, Daddy, No, Daddy, No. I’m sorry, Daddy. I’m sorry,
Daddy.’ … She just couldn’t bring herself to even bend over for me to be
able to bust her butt.”
Does Markfortwayne wear his white hat when he beats his daughter?
+ Prerequisites to prove you’ve got what it takes to run DHS under
Trump: 1. Shoot your own puppy in the head for being disobedient and
toss its body in a gravel pit; 2. Abuse your own daughter for being
disobedient.
If you can publicly brag about beating your own child for political
points, you probably won’t have much of a problem ripping children, some
of them born in the US, from the arms of their parents, keeping them
locked up in concentration camp-like prisons hundreds of miles away from
their moms and dads, making them act as their own lawyers in
immigration court or forcing them to make an impossible choice between
being wrongfully deported with a parent or being left in the US as one
or both of their parents are shipped off to El Salvador or Haiti.
+ 11,000: the minimum number of children who have had a parent detained by ICE/CBP since Trump retook office.
Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to destroy Iran’s “whole civilization” unless its leaders agreed to a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
By Tuesday evening – instead of trying to kill the 90 million people living in Iran, or bombing Iran’s power plants and bridges as he had promised – Trump announced “a double sided CEASEFIRE!” for two weeks. In doing so, Trump all but admitted the reality that his illegal war is going terribly – and Iran is winning.
“We received a 10-point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate,” the president announced on Truth Social – apparently referring to the 10-point plan that Iran had presented to the US before he threatened to murder its entire population.
Using this 10-point plan as a framework for a deal, rather than the previous American 15-point plan, is obviously a major win for Iran – which is, indeed, declaring victory. Experts and commentators see it that way, too.
“If Iran did in fact secure guarantees based on the ‘10 principles’ Trump referenced, that is not a marginal outcome, it is a strategic win for Tehran, reinforcing its narrative and positioning,” wrote Danny Citrinowicz, a former top Israeli intelligence officer who focused on Iran. As former US State Department official and veteran Middle East negotiator Aaron David Miller put it, “Iran has won another round.”
Political scientist Robert A. Pape writes: “Huge strategic defeat for the US, biggest loss since Vietnam.”
The 10-point plan would allow Iran to continue its control over the Strait of Hormuz, the crucial waterway that Iran has closed since the start of the war, stopping the flow of oil and throttling the global economy.
Just a day earlier, Trump was fantasizing about the US “charging tolls” for ships to transit the strait. Now, it looks much more likely that Iran will keep doing this instead, and that it will get to charge “a $2M fee per ship.” In another win for Iran, the plan would involve lifting “all US sanctions on Iran.”
Under Iran’s proposed framework, the US would allow Iran to continue its uranium enrichment program – which would mean folding on the entire supposed basis for Trump’s illegal war. This point was included in the Farsi version of the plan, but reportedly omitted from English versions shared by Iranian diplomats.
Some liberals will invariably revel in memes about how Trump always chickens out. But, as we reported at Zeteo on Tuesday, none of this is over. The ceasefire, as of now, is only temporary. As Trump advisers and others in the upper tiers of Trumplandia warned us, there’s still a decent chance that he escalates the war again soon.
"Most discussions of Iran revolve around oil, escalation, and regime change. Yet Iran today feels easier to understand as part of a much older pattern. For more than 2,500 years, states on the Iranian plateau have favoured patience, distance, and endurance over any kind of immediate full-on confrontation with stronger enemies.
To understand Iran today, it therefore helps to trawl through Persian military history."
Since the appalling ruling by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals last
week on Oak Flats, where the US judicial system (so-called) has given
the green light for a multinational mining company to annihilate one of
the most sacred Native American sites in the Southwest, I’ve been
thinking about the many Native Rights campaigns I’ve covered and/or been
involved in over the last 35 years: Black Mesa, San Francisco Peaks,
Mount Graham, Enola Hill,Rainbow
Bridge, Navajo Generating Station, Lyle salmon fishing site, mining and
logging in the Black Hills, Zuni Salt Lake, Oak Flats, ANWR, Klamath
River dams, Chaco Canyon uranium mine, Bolsa Chica and Ballona wetlands
in LA, Nevada Test Site, Willamette Falls lamprey and salmon fishing
site, Jemez/Los Alamos, Standing Rock, the Thacker Pass lithium mine.
These were/are often bitter, lonely, and dangerous campaigns,
especially for Native activists. Not long after moving to Oregon, I
received a three-day tour of many of the most intense battle zones in
the Four Corners region by the Navajo environmental and tribal activist
Leroy Jackson, who took this photo of me outside of Kayenta in the
shadow of Black Mesa. Leroy was a very intense person and he was
fighting extremely powerful interests, like Peabody Coal, Duke City
Lumber and corrupt members of the tribal government of the Big Rez.
I flipped through my journals of that week and was struck by a
conversation we had about the relations between tribal activists and
Gang Green and how unreliable the professional environmental groups are
as coalition partners with Native people because of their unfailing
tendency to compromise for political reasons on issues, such as sacred
sites, where there can be no compromise. I jotted down that’d I’d
relayed to Leroy one of my favorite admonitions from Dave Brower: “When
we win, it’s merely a stay of execution. When they win, it’s forever.”
Leroy responded by saying, “For so many of you guys (white male
activists), this is like a game. You’re here for a while, then back to
school or onto some other issues. You can’t be counted on. But we live
here. We have to play for keeps.” (I didn’t take offense at this,
knowing firsthand the truth of what he was saying.) Leroy did play for
keeps. A few months after our road trip, he was found dead
in his car in northern New Mexico. The cops called it a suicide/drug
overdose. But Leroy wasn’t a drug user. He wasn’t depressed or suicidal.
He was almost certainly murdered. Yet, like so many killings of Native
Americans, especially activists, the cops didn’t care enough to even
investigate his death. They were glad he was dead.
