I’m currently writing an article for a newspaper and one of the subsections revolves around a societal responsibility towards propaganda; especially racial or ideologically Nazi propaganda as in the example of Jud Suß.

For this, I wanted to discuss the Soviet reaction to Protocols as the book was a product of the Russian Empire and served as a driving justification for Nazi racial propaganda, making the Soviet reaction towards the book potentially very useful to my article.

I’ve found very little information regarding this, and thought it would makes sense to ask if anyone here has any sources as to the Soviet reaction to the book or if it was banned? English or Russian would do as I can read both.

For reference, due to the inefficiency of cellphones and computers, especially near extremely sensitive equipment and in hospitals with many floors that block wifi signals, pagers are the standard communication devices in hospitals.

I have no doubt that hundreds of the casualties reported were nurses, doctors, and EMTs.

If any nation sold thousands of handheld bombs to hospitals and civilians in the US, Congress would mobilize the nation for war before the end of the day.

Trying to find information as to what is actually going on has been near impossible to say the least. Both sides understandably give wildly different accounts, but independent analysis seems nonexistent, and it seems that no one knows what’s going on.

Russia is saying that the situation is under control and that Ukraine is being pushed back; while Ukraine says that it’s still advancing while showing limited proof of their gains. Not to mention Russia saying that Ukraine has simultaneously taken massive casualties but is still able to advance and hold what they’ve taken. Russia says they’re flooding reinforcements into the area but it’s been over a week and it seems that there is very little counteroffensive action underway.

Not to mention the question of where Ukraine even got the reserves to commit to such an attack? Even then, if they drained their other fronts for this final push, why aren’t Russian forces capitalizing on Ukrainian depletion and fatigue by striking in the south or north?

US sources talk about this as if Ukraine will be in Moscow by the weekend and are entirely useless for gleaning the reality of the situation, but all Russian sources do is claim that nothing is wrong and 1 gorbillion Ukrainians are being killed each day, despite never going into any further detail.

What’s actually happening? Does anyone have any good sources on the reality of the situation for both sides?

Albert Einstein refused to be associated with Israel, so to honor his legacy, we’ve made his birth city the new Israeli capital in Ulm.

Quickly! Attach the electrodes to his grave! We can power half the world with how fast he’ll start spinning!

A New York court has found former president Donald J. Trump guilty on 34 felonies in connection utilizing a fixer to commit tax and business fraud to silence a potentially damaging victim during the 2016 presidential elections.

Sentencing is set for July 11th. The former president will be held under Secret Service protection at Rikers Island prison till that date.

Donald Trump is the first US President to be accused and successfully tried for felony charges.

The bread and circuses of the empire continue to work as intended. Democrats rejoice as if this has single-handedly saved the world, and reactionaries fume that their outwardly fascist figurehead has faced a tiny percentage of the consequences for his actions.

That’d be like saying “The people of the Confederacy did not support the Union invasion”, with “the people” only referencing the white citizens of the Confederacy and not the millions of black slaves, Native Americans, and white abolitionists.

Of course the “people of Tibet” would not be rejoicing at the PLA operation; as those people were part of the 5% of the population that owned the other 95% as slaves. I’m sure that the 95% were distraught they were no longer enslaved against their will.

Also Haiti didn’t have slavery because they themselves wanted it. It was imported on a mass scale from a colonial power. Tibet had slavery because it was baked into their religion and culture with a vile caste system and violent repression.

A country that is built upon 95% of their “citizens” being chattel slaves does not have a right to exist and be tolerated by countries around it, and such a state genuinely should be invaded if the aim of the invasion is to sweep aside a vile system that is keeping millions of people as nothing more then livestock.

Free speech in AmeriKKKa is looking good! Americans should only rely on true, red-blooded, patriotic, and megacorporations like Microsoft and Google with their data!

Another bill that was added on was an Israel aid bill that sends Israel and the IDF a further 26.3 billion dollars.

For anyone wondering, the runes on his hands are “Leben”/Life, “Othala”/purity/brotherhood, and “Tod”/Death. The combination is a common pattern that SS members would use to describe their lives and leben and tod were used in place of a cross to denote KIA.

These are all common Nazi runes and the SS in particular loved using leben and tod even though they are obsolete as runes, and any usage of them is nearly always Nazi related when used together.

"Western Alliance" of California, Texas, and Florida teaming up to take on the entire US after the "first" "explicitly" fascist US president gives himself a third term. Supposed to be a "Liberal People's Revolution" in support of """true""" American democracy. There are absolutely no leftist symbols, analysis, slogans, flags, or rhetoric to be found.

Seemingly very little focus on politics except surface level liberal centrism of "uniting against authoritarianism". Also, absolutely no mention of leftism except as a hostile force, as LGBT characters are seen prominently as part of the invading rebel forces. Also a scene of the rebels blowing up the Lincoln monument for some reason.

Weird "civilian" discourse that seems bizarre in the face of Palestine as there are scenes where the US Air Force bombs US civilians, soldiers fire indiscriminately into crowds, and its all played off as a horrible tragedy despite the common American sentiment in favour of Israel doing the same thing.

The trailer's ending seems to imply the rebels miraculously take DC and save American democracy in one fell swoop.

Lastly, the fascist US president is Nick Offerman. Yes... The Parks and Rec guy, and the gay Last of Us character.

Belarus and Ukraine were never satellite states of the USSR, they were quite literally founding members and part of the 14 republics.

I don’t know what you think satellite state means.

AirPods were seen as a joke, with people mocking them incessantly and demanding the headphone jack back… then one month before Christmas a mysterious “Oh no he can’t hear us! They have AirPods in” meme, shows up on Reddit, propagated by almost entirely bot accounts.

It highlights the noise canceling, and it made everyone think of AirPods. Next thing you know everyone wants then and they’re now one of apples top selling products.

A convoy of five trucks and two other ICRC vehicles were carrying medical items for multiple health facilities, including the Palestinian Red Crescent Society's Al Quds hospital. Two of the trucks were damaged and a driver was injured.

The trucks and convoy were carrying no military supplies, personnel, or insignia, and the convoy has been declared to both Hamas and Israeli forces before departure as per international law. Their designated path was approved by both Hamas and Israel, and both sides pledged to cease hostilities till the convoy had passed.

The convoy was forced to retreat as the bombardment intensified and the lives of the workers and medical staff were significantly threatened.

The head of the ICRC delegation in Gaza has stated, "These are not the conditions under which humanitarian personnel can work. We are here to bring urgent assistance to civilians in need."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimrod_Aloni

Here is his Wikipedia article.

Aloni has been behind many of the war crimes and air strikes in Gaza and the Gaza Strip, and he is also a head advisor to the IDF for military incursions into Palestinian territory.

Aloni was also the architect and general behind Israel’s 2021 “Operation: Guardian of the Walls”, which killed and wounded an estimated 4,000-5,000 Palestinians, and displaced 72,000+ Palestinian civilians.

The Depth Corps is a unit specialising in operations against Hamas, Hezbollah, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. They were behind many of the Mosque bombings, forced evictions, air strikes, and terror attacks on Palestinian civilians over the past two decades. The unit is currently in shambles and is being reformed behind the lines.

This doesn’t show much of “rising tension”, that’s just media fearmongering.

All that happened was that the loan agreement ran out, and they haven’t gotten around to making a new one. The pandas have been prepped for movement for weeks at this point.

This isn’t just between the US and China. Zoos cannot legally buy and sell animals for cash, favors, property, or any other asset, in an effort to undermine animal smuggling and poaching. Instead there is an international system of trading where zoos will trade and loan animals to each other like Pokémon cards.

This isn’t a political move either; a lot of US zoos are private entities and thus a lot of them treat their animals like shit. There are some beautiful incredible zoos in the US, but a lot of them should be razed to the ground in their current state.

The Ukraine War is the modern WW3 version of the Spanish Civil War.

All the majors get to fight each other discretely, test out all their new toys in the field, and support fascism abroad without risking anything domestically.

In the seconds after this meme, Walter(Russia) proceeds to shoot and kill Mike(NATO).

I don't think the Libs thought this one through...

Also the Soviet Union was overjoyed at the thought of a Post-War continuation of the Allies, and because the fact that the entire West German leadership were Nazi's, they readily applied for NATO membership, in fact they were one of the first countries to do so. They thought they could avoid hostilities with the US, and prevent an arms race or possible WW3. When they were rejected, they somberly realized what was going on and quickly organized the Warsaw Pact.

The Soviets also offered on two separate occasions to reunify Germany and establish it as a neutral country outside either spheres of influence. This would include the withdrawal of all Soviet, American, French, and British assets and forces. This was soundly rejected.

In Operation LAC, US Army engineers sprayed St Louis with radioactive particles, biological, and chemical agents over the course of several decades to see how long term NBC and fallout damage affected civilian population centers, and the human body.

The sprayed a dangerous bacteria to mimic anthrax, zinc sulfide (highly radioactive), and various chemical weapons from planes, and from dispersal trucks parked on the downward slope of the mountain overlooking the city.

The targets were primarily schools, hospitals, elderly care facilities, and residential areas, as they contained the largest amount of targets.

This was part of a larger experiment as well. Other targeted cities include, San Francisco, Minneapolis, Corpus Christi, Springfield, Detroit, Toledo, Toronto, and Vancouver these are the ones the Army had admitted to as they covered up most of the operation.

Other tested areas include vague references to “All states east of the Rocky’s”, “Entire Mississippi delta”, “Native American reservations”, and “The entire Canadian border”.

They also covered the entire North Eastern coast of Britain.

The vote was unanimous. Meaning that every communist representative voted for this.

The modern KPRF are a shill party used as controlled opposition by a capitalist liberal majority.

It’s beyond sad to see how far the party has fallen.
