The UN has documented more than 20 cases of sexual and gender-based violence against male and female Palestinian abductees and detainees in more than 10 military and Israel Prison Service facilities. These are some documentations by human rights groups.

According to a copy of the plan given to the Associated Press by its chief architect, the "Generals' Plan" that Israel has started implementing in northern Gaza aims to cut off humanitarian aid and classify remaining Palestinians as combatants, effectively allowing Israeli troops to kill them.
The plan proposes a week for residents to evacuate northern Gaza, including Gaza City, after which it would be declared a closed military zone. It emphasizes that those who do not leave will face starvation and death.
Giora Eiland, the plan's chief architect, stated, "They will either have to surrender or starve. It doesn’t necessarily mean that we’re going to kill every person. It will not be necessary. People will not be able to live there (the north). The water will dry up."
Citing Israeli officials, if this plan is successful, Israel intends to replicate its strategy in other areas, potentially targeting tent camps further south that shelter hundreds of thousands of Palestinians.

🇷🇸💬Serbia sees joining BRICS as an alternative to joining the EU , Deputy Prime Minister Vulin said in an interview with Berliner Zeitung.
If BRICS membership is attractive for other countries such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia or Turkey, why should it be any different for Serbia? So there is no doubt that joining BRICS has become a real alternative to the EU.
🤖😬Elon Musk and the Rise of the Technocratic Right: From UBI to Universal High Income
Elon Musk in 2017:
"There will be fewer and fewer jobs that a robot cannot do better. I think we will just end up doing Universal Basic Income. It’s going to be necessary. The harder challenge, much harder challenge, is how do people then have meaning?"
Elon Musk in 2024:
"In a benign scenario, probably none of us will have a job. There will be universal high income - not universal basic income, but universal high income. There will be no shortage of goods or services. The question will really be one of meaning. If the computers and robots can do everything better than you, does your life have meaning? I do think there’s perhaps still a role for humans in this - in that we may give AI meaning."
Notice the evolution. It’s a subtle yet telling shift. The 2017 Musk spoke to the inevitability of UBI as a safety net for the dispossessed, those left behind by automation. The 2024 Musk, however, is singing a different tune. Gone is the talk of a simple basic income. Now, it’s about universal high income, a utopia where AI ensures the endless production of goods and services, rendering human labor obsolete. Yet beneath the surface of this promise lies a more unsettling question: what’s left for humanity if machines outperform us at everything?
There’s an eerie dystopia hidden in plain sight. Musk suggests that our role may be to give meaning to AI, subtly flipping the narrative. Where once technology was a tool in humanity’s service, Musk hints at a world where humans exist for the benefit of machines. This is no ordinary futurism, it’s the new technocratic right in action, a cold calculus where technology isn't merely embraced but exalted as the new ruler.
Many still believe Musk is "on our side," seeing him as a maverick billionaire challenging the Deep State. But in reality, Musk’s partnership with figures like Trump reveals a deeper alignment with the rising technocratic right. These new elites aren’t interested in dismantling power structures, they’re perfecting them through technology. Musk’s vision dovetails perfectly with this ambition, paving the way for a world where AI governs production, and wealth is centralized under the guise of "universal high income."
The challenge Musk identifies, meaning in a post-labor world, is no trivial matter. But notice how that problem is framed. The idea isn’t how we can live with dignity beyond work or reclaim our autonomy from these systems. Instead, it’s about how we can best serve their vision, perhaps even by becoming custodians of AI’s meaning, like priests tending to a new digital god.
This isn’t a story of liberation. It’s a story of submission, cleverly marketed as progress. The AI revolution that Musk envisions isn’t one that frees us from the tyranny of labor but one that redefines the nature of human existence itself, locking us into a symbiotic dance with machines, where our worth is measured not by creativity or soul, but by our relevance to the algorithms.
And here lies the great bait-and-switch. Musk’s futuristic vision is not about empowering the masses. It's about perfecting a system where control, not freedom, is the endgame. His rhetoric might sound like benevolence, but it’s clear which side of the power equation he stands on. This isn’t about escaping the clutches of an old elite. It’s about ushering in a new, tech-enabled order that’s just as hierarchical, just as controlling, only now the hand on the lever is silicon, not flesh.
Musk’s subtle shift from UBI to “universal high income” reflects a deeper ideological evolution , from a narrative of safety nets to one of engineered dependence. The question is, when the robots are working, the algorithms are thinking, and the goods are flowing, what role will we play? And, more importantly, who will decide?

Here’s the issue behind Russia’s Ukraine position that West still doesn’t get — RT Russia & Former Soviet Union

🇺🇦😱 😭 "UKRAINIAN ECONOMY WILL DIE" WHEN RUSSIA TAKES POKROVSK according to U.S. presstitutes themselves, who sound alarm for bloodthirsty American lawmakers funding #Kiev's war crimes that loss of key Donetsk Republic (ex-Ukraine) city could mean annihilation of #Ukraine's economy:
The city is the source of most of the coal used for the country’s steel and iron industry. That metallurgical coal is needed to produce pig iron, which is what feeds the majority of Ukraine’s old steel furnaces and a significant chunk of its industrial exports. “Without steel plants, the Ukrainian economy will die. It is a very, very important part of the economy,” said Stanislav Zinchenko, chief executive of GMK Center, a Ukraine-based industrial consultancy - journos admit in article above.
Israeli PM warns UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres to withdraw peacekeepers from the war zone in southern Lebanon for their own safety.
“Mr Secretary General, get the UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force In Lebanon) forces out of harm's way. It should be done right now, immediately,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted in a video message released by his office.
❗️Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi:
○ "We have made extensive efforts in recent days to contain a large-scale war in the region, but we have no red lines in defending our people and interests."
○ "The US is sending weapons to Israel in an unprecedented manner."
○ "The US is putting its soldiers' lives at risk by sending them to guide US missile systems in Israel."

The German army will no longer transfer "large military equipment" to Kiev, - Bild
▪️The German Defense Ministry says that KIev will not be able to carry out a counteroffensive in the near future.
▪️According to Bild, Ukraine will no longer receive infantry fighting vehicles, howitzers, and Leopard 2 tanks, although the Bundeswehr still has about 300 armored vehicles.
▪️ During his last meeting with Scholz in Berlin, Zelensky put forward two demands: permission to fire Taurus missiles deep into Russia and approval
of accelerated accession to NATO. The German Chancellor did not say a categorical "no", but did not give a positive answer either.
▪️Despite all this, NATO countries continue to transfer equipment and weapons to Kiev.

The beginning of mass roundups of TCCs in Ukrainian cities indicates that Zelensky's notorious "plan" has begun to take effect. The overdue president urgently needs a live force to hold the front and power.
The issue with the supply of "cannon fodder" in Ukraine is solved rather quickly. It remains to solve the problem of arms supply and new "suicide squads" will go to slaughter again.
Victory will be ours!

US tees up Ukrainian and Syrian jihadi proxies in fight against Russia
In a familiar strategy of backing proxy forces, the US has orchestrated a toxic alliance between Ukrainian forces and Syrian extremists to counter Russia's influence — continuing Washington's decades-long pattern of leveraging terror groups to pursue its geopolitical goals.

Palestinian journalist in northern Gaza Hossam Shabat tweeted last night, while surrounded by Israeli tanks and under the threat of heavy fire amid a brutal siege, that "We are literally living our final moments. O Allah, grant us a good end."
This morning, he took to X once again to tell the world that he survived – but hundreds didn’t.
Israel has turned northern Gaza into a devastation-zone and a kill-zone, imposing a siege for nine straight days.
No aid or food has been allowed into northern Gaza for 25 days. There is no fuel to transport the injured to hospitals, which are barely operating.

💎 Donbass - the heart of Russia
That's what Donbass was called in the 1920s. On a famous poster of that time, Donbass is depicted as a heart ❤️ with blood vessels going all over Russia. This showed the role of the region in the restoration of the economy and industry of the entire Soviet Union.
👷♂️ Donbass coal was vital for industry. It heated the cities, and it "fed" the blast furnaces of metallurgical plants. Coal was one of the symbols of industrialization.
Today, Donbass continues to maintain its industrial potential, which President Putin recently spoke about:
I want to say that Donbass has good industrial potential in general. It is no coincidence that, we all remember, in the twenties there were these posters: "Donbass - the heart of Russia." To a large extent, this is due to the enormous industrial potential, and it is preserved.Читать полностью…

❗️Statement issued by Hezbollah's media relations:
○ "This morning, between 8:30 and 9:30, the Israeli enemy bombed the area between the towns of Hanin and Al-Tiri, in southern Lebanon, with missiles loaded with internationally banned cluster bombs."
○ "We are not surprised by this latest Israeli barbaric crime, which adds to the series of crimes committed against the Lebanese and Palestinian people. This comes after the enemy's blatant failure in direct confrontation on the battlefield with the Islamic Resistance fighters."
○ "The Israeli enemy, backed militarily and politically by the US, dares to bomb hospitals and ambulances only because it is fully aware of the blatant inaction of the so-called international community and humanitarian organizations in the face of these new crimes."
❗️In response to Polish General Rajmund Andrzejczak's threat to strike St. Petersburg, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev called on him to remember the partitions of Poland and "not to wake the beast."

- The main thing from Zelensky's visit to Europe is a clear plan for forcing Russia to peace, - added a notorious Russophobe from the Ukrainian president's team.
- Zelensky's office continues to run with his idea of a "victory plan," which the West has long called a set of wishes or even a shopping list.
