The establishment of new financial and banking platforms has opened a “new chapter” in banking relations between Iran and Russia, with the two countries agreeing to ditch the US dollar and instead trade in local currencies.

🇺🇲 to 🇩🇪: we've made a mess in 🇺🇦, you pick up the bill!

The Russian army is hitting military targets in Ukraine, and Zelensky is lying

This was stated by ex-member of the Rada Igor Mosiychuk.

“The last massive powerful blow to Ukraine last year [2023], on December 29, the main part of the blow fell on the Artyom plant and the Luch design bureau. There are a lot of dead there, storage facilities [are damaged], all of Kiev already knows this. Why are the authorities hiding this, especially hiding the number of dead ? I don’t know,” he says.

According to him, Zelensky’s is lying about the number of downed missiles and drones and lying that they do not hit targets, which is turning the people against the authorities.

#Israel war on #Gaza, lies and fabrications

Internal CNN directives force all Israel news through the Network's Jerusalem Bureau, subjecting it to oversight by the IDF censor. CNN also hired a soldier out of the IDF Spokesperson Unit to cover the aftermath of October 7th.

ISIS Claims Blame for Terror Attack in Iran - Analysis

While I am very convinced that this is the work of the Mossad, as part of the current psychological and limited war between Iran and Israel, this admission by ISIS is another indication of who ISIS is and who created it.

ISIS is an Israeli-American product, which served to destabilize the Muslim states around Israel that posed a threat to Israel. ISIS never attacked Israel, and was mostly armed with Israeli and American-made weapons.

While ISIS was rampaging through Syria and Iraq and waging a fierce war against the forces of Assad and Hezbollah (Israel's greatest enemy), the Israeli Air Force regularly and fiercely bombarded Assad and Hezbollah positions, literally providing air support to ISIS. And now in the most heated times between Iran and Israel, ISIS is attacking Iran.

@Megatron_ron

The US secret services were the first to announce that ISIS was responsible for the attack in Iran. How did they know that ISIS was preparing for a terrorist attack against Iran?

Some will say, yes, but the United States killed the leader of ISIS, Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, after Hezbollah, Iran and Assad defeated him. How did the US know where to immediately find al-Baghdadi?

The answer is clear, they eliminated it, after ISIS was already defeated before it fell into the hands of Iran. Another very important question is why at this time the Islamic radicals, ISIS, attacked Iran and not Israel, which until now has massacred about 25,000 Muslim civilians?

Why is ISIS constantly killing Muslims in the Middle East? ISIS has been doing a good job until recently of keeping the countries that are a threat to Israel in chaos and war, but it is now clear as day that ISIS is a product of the Mossad and the CIA to protect Israel.

Western media is complicit in #Israel #WarCrimes #genocide and #EthnicCleansing in #Gaza

According to them killing civilians with bombs is more civilized and humane than killing them with bullets

"CBC says killing of Palestinians doesn’t merit terms ‘murderous,’ ‘brutal’
In response to complaints about its coverage, CBC says Israeli state violence is different than Hamas’ violence because the killing of Palestinians happens “remotely”

#Israel is deliberately starving #Gaza

During the process for inspecting humanitarian aid, if Israeli "inspectors reject a single item in a truck, it must return with its entire cargo to be re-packaged, starting the weeks-long process all over again."

News from me:

Today, without warning or explanation, Twitter suspended my account, @AlanRMacLeod . They told me to check my email for a reason, but no email has been forthcoming.

I have never even remotely been involved in any controversy/been reported/been stuck in Twitter jail before, so I assume the real reason is political, especially as high-profile leftist accounts like Rob Rousseau, Ken Klippenstein and Zei_Squirrel were also targeted today.

Probably the only chance I have to get the account back is if enough people object to this/kick up a stink. This should probably include messaging/tagging Twitter support and telling them to unban us all.

If any journalists want to cover this story and contact me, you can reach me at amacleod@mintpressnews.com

Thanks for reading this,

◾A Canadian reporter was immediately arrested by the police and acussed of "assault" just for asking Canadian Minister of Finance Chrystia Freeland why she supports Ukrainian Nazis.

◾I can answer that myself. Because her dad was one of them, a Ukrainian Nazi collaborator who ran propaganda outlets in the Ukrainian Nazi puppet state during WWII.

The NASAMS anti-aircraft missile system, which #Canada promised to purchase from the United States a year ago for the needs of #Ukraine, has not yet been delivered to Kiev
According to the Canadian Ministry of Defense, Ottawa transferred $406 million to Washington for this purpose in March 2023, and the US government signed a contract for its production with Raytheon.
At the same time, the Kongsberg company, which is also involved in the production of these air defense systems, reported that they do not have this kind of contract with either the US authorities or the Canadian government.
