- Journalist @samhusseini just put a Pentagon spokesman on notice that he and other Biden administration officials face prosecution of war crimes and genocide. "You bomb hospital after hospital, bakery after bakery, and you keep pretending you're just after the military"
00:00 - White House spokesman John Kirby just restated that the the US has "no red lines" for how many civilians Israel is allowed to massacre. "That is still the case," Kirby said. This is an admission that the White House is a party to the genocide in Gaza. They are war criminals.
00:00 - A shocking scene in front of the German Reichstag, from which Hitler ran the genocide of Europe's Jews. German cops cover the mouth of one demonstrator, and put their knee on the neck of another. A bystander, echoing the last words of George Floyd, shouts, "he can't breathe!"
00:00 - Reuters just reported exactly what kind of bombs the US has been sending Israel. Biden sent fourteen thousand 2,000-pound bombs – more than all other types combined. These bombs destroy whole city blocks. The destruction of Gaza is intentional. It's genoicde by design.
- Biden was just asked "what are the prospects of a Gaza ceasefire?" His reply: "None. No possibility." The United States is actively instigating Israel's genocide in Gaza, and working to inflame a wider war in the Middle East.
00:00 - This staggering graph just published by the United Nations shows the ages of people killed by Israel in Gaza. The base of this "pyramid" of death are babies and toddlers. This is not a war, it is a massacre of innocents.
- 🚨BREAKING🚨 US Government to end daily COVID death reporting A document issued issued Jan 6 by the US Health and Human Services tells hospitals they are no longer required to report daily COVID-19 deaths to the federal government starting Feb 2. Story broken by @DataDrivenMD
- A US State Department spokesman was just asked if the US accepts the validity of international law in Palestine. His reply: “Israel has the right to defend itself.” The US has reached the point of criminality where it can’t even publicly acknowledge the Geneva Conventions.
00:00 - Joe Biden has just delivered a warmongering rant at the United Nations. He demanded war against Russia, war against Iran, and threatened China all in one 25-minute speech. Biden's legacy is a world in flames, with his successor only expanding these global wars.
00:00 - The Lancet has just estimated the death toll of the Gaza genocide at 186,000 people or more. That's nearly 8 percent of Gaza's population. This is a systematic effort to exterminate the Palestinian people: armed, funded, and led by the US.
- We have just confirmed that Facebook has disabled the page of the International Youth and Students for Social Equality at the University of Michigan, as well as the accounts of all admins. This is an unprecedented attack on the speech rights of an official campus student group.
- New data just in. We are clearly in a new surge of COVID-19. The US is up 97 percent (!) over the past 5 weeks, based on the amount of SARS-CoV-2 virus in sewage water. The public is being told nothing by a government and media intent on covering up this ongoing disaster.
- What is happening in Gaza is a genocide. 20,000 civilians have been killed, including 10,000 children. An entire population is being starved & dehydrated, subjected to squalid conditions that facilitate disease— with the conscious aim of killing as many Palestinians as possible.
