TIL that during the 1960-70s, the Danish government had doctors fit intrauterine devices (IUDs) into thousands of Greenlandic Inuit girls and women, without their knowledge or consent, as part of a program to control the indigenous birth rate in Greenland

“Netanyahu is finished": Seymour Hersh wrote an article about how Israel will not storm the Gaza Strip, but will begin to suffocate it in a blockade "like the Germans in Leningrad".
"It is unlikely that Israel's armed forces, after years of performing "security" duties in the West Bank, will be able to withstand heavy fighting in the dense urbanisation of Gaza's two million inhabitants.
As for a ground assault, an insider tells me that a brutal alternative is being considered. It could be described as the "Leningrad approach", referring to the attempts by the Germans during the Second World War to starve the city now known as St Petersburg.
The option under consideration, an Israeli insider told me, is to continue to isolate Gaza City in terms of electricity, food and other essentials.
Gaza's ruling Hamas has two to three days' supply of purified drinking water and is already facing food shortages. At some point, Israel may negotiate the release of some prisoners - women and children - in exchange for food and water.
According to the source, a veteran of Israeli security, Netanyahu will have to go once the conflict with Hamas is over. Netanyahu is finished. He is a dead man walking. He will stay in his post until the shooting stops, maybe for another month or two".

If there is one thing that 9/11 and the Covid19 vaccines should have taught us, it's that the psychopathic oligarchy will either cause or allow highly visual massacres to occur in order to perpetrate their psychopathic agenda for control, destruction, war, and ultimately for depopulation. Psychopaths like to kill. See "American Psycho" by Brett Easton Ellis for a good portrayal.

Wikileaks cable: Israeli intelligence chief encouraged Hamas takeover of Gaza Strip | - IMEMC News
"In the trannoscript, Yadlin told the US Ambassador that he would be “very happy” if Hamas formed a government in Gaza “as long as they have no (air or sea) port.” He added that Israel would then work with the rival Palestinian political party, Fateh, to form a government in the West Bank and work to undermine the Hamas government in Gaza."

Y’all remember the Ghost of Kyiv?
When the Internet circulated unverified reports of a legendary pilot that was taking out ridiculous numbers of Russian aircraft… Turned out it was 100% fabricated.
Remember Snake Island?
When we were told 90 Ukrainian forces heroically refused to surrender and they were slaughtered... Turned out Russia took all of them alive, and they all surrendered willingly.
Remember when the media were using old photos and video from Syria and footage from video game simulators?
My point is that war propaganda is real, and Western media have been producing it in Ukraine and for decades before that.
As it pertains to Israel/Palestine; we don’t know what reports are real, what is being exaggerated, or who is behind what. But history would suggest that everything the official narrative says now will end up being vastly different later on.
I wish we didn’t have to think like this... Needless to say, there is a lot of disinformation out there. Stay frosty.

Right now someone is writing a movie noscript featuring a rural white Trump voter, a black man and a transexual in the US Army together and cathartically realising they’re all Americans who love freedom and hate Islamo-Fascism.

❗️🇺🇸👉🇷🇺🇨🇳 Russia and China may turn out to be the only winners in the Palestinian-Israeli war, says Bloomberg.
The conflict in the Middle East will not only hit the West's power and authority, but will also drain its already scarce resources on Ukraine, the article reports.
According to the publication, the West's rash actions and hypocrisy are playing into the hands of Russia and China.
Biden will have to abandon attempts to counter China's growing influence in the region, and the West's double standards will come under international scrutiny.
