Thank you to @[email protected] for covering my position as Supreme Dictator of the Goddamn News while I was moving and getting set up in my new home in a top secret Kremlin-funded bunker five hundred feet below the ground. Our regularly scheduled programming returns this week.
On October 9th, Daniel Chapo won the Mozambique general election with about 70% of the vote. Chapo is the head of FRELIMO, the Marxist-Leninist party of Mozambique's liberation, which fought an internal anti-communist resistance called RENAMO which was backed by Rhodesia and apartheid South Africa; Frelimo won in 1975. However, as the USSR fell, Frelimo began to allow elections inside Mozambique, and has ruled the country with significant majorities in each election ever since.
The main opposition party inside Mozambique is Podemos, which is led by Venancio Mondlane, a former member of Renamo and trained inside the USA. He alleges that his polling figures predicted a majority win for him, not Frelimo, and has accused Chapo of electoral fraud. There have been the usual slogans about how they yearn for freedom. The EU, of course, "witnessed irregularities." As @[email protected] has pointed out, Mozambique has massive undeveloped gas fields and is outsourcing the development process to France, Norway, the UK, and the USA, while mysterious Islamist groups have popped up to cause chaos in the exact regions which have the gas, slowing the process of actually developing those gas fields. Overall, it appears to be a cookie-cutter colour revolution attempt by the imperial core designed to install a comprador for cheaper resources. Its proximity to BRICS+ member South Africa may also be significant, noting the colour revolution in Bangladesh earlier this year exerting influence near India and China.
Protestors have been battling against the police and government since late October, resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries as well as massive disruption, as the government has intermittently blocked access to the internet and social media. As of today, calm appears to be returning, with border crossings beginning to reopen.

Israel-Palestine Conflict
Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:
UNRWA reports on Israel's destruction and siege of Gaza and the West Bank.
English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account. Alt here.
English-language twitter account that collates news.
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon. - Telegram is @IbnRiad.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis. - Telegram is @EyesOnSouth.
English-language Twitter account in the same group as the previous two. - Telegram here.
English-language PalestineResist telegram channel.
More telegram channels here for those interested.
Russia-Ukraine Conflict
Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Sources:
Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
Simplicius, who publishes on Substack. Like others, his political analysis should be soundly ignored, but his knowledge of weaponry and military strategy is generally quite good.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists' side.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.
Pro-Russian Telegram Channels:
Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.
https://t.me/aleksandr_skif ~ DPR's former Defense Minister and Colonel in the DPR's forces. Russian language.
https://t.me/Slavyangrad ~ A few different pro-Russian people gather frequent content for this channel (~100 posts per day), some socialist, but all socially reactionary. If you can only tolerate using one Russian telegram channel, I would recommend this one.
https://t.me/s/levigodman ~ Does daily update posts.
https://t.me/patricklancasternewstoday ~ Patrick Lancaster's telegram channel.
https://t.me/gonzowarr ~ A big Russian commentator.
https://t.me/rybar ~ One of, if not the, biggest Russian telegram channels focussing on the war out there. Actually quite balanced, maybe even pessimistic about Russia. Produces interesting and useful maps.
https://t.me/epoddubny ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/boris_rozhin ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/mod_russia_en ~ Russian Ministry of Defense. Does daily, if rather bland updates on the number of Ukrainians killed, etc. The figures appear to be approximately accurate; if you want, reduce all numbers by 25% as a 'propaganda tax', if you don't believe them. Does not cover everything, for obvious reasons, and virtually never details Russian losses.
https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses ~ Pro-Russian, documents abuses that Ukraine commits.
Pro-Ukraine Telegram Channels:
Almost every Western media outlet.
https://discord.gg/projectowl ~ Pro-Ukrainian OSINT Discord.
https://t.me/ice_inii ~ Alleged Ukrainian account with a rather cynical take on the entire thing.
estamos morrendo em uma sociedade
Unbelievable certain "left" outlets are loving the Matt Gaetz pick because he is supposedly anti-establishment. He is Tulsi Gabbard but worse.
It seems republicans are upset with Trump for poaching from their House majority, and since Gaetz left his seat the funniest thing could happen
Tulsi Gabbard is a military intelligence officer in a psyops division, and a member of a far right, super racist and homophobic Hare Krishna splinter cult.
Gaetz is a pedophile and human trafficker which makes him a pretty bad person but I think they're both so bad that it becomes hard to make a meaningful comparison.
There was a big UFO hearing in Congress today? Some wildly fun stuff came out of it like Lauren Boebert questioning witnesses on her belief in basically Atlantis and hybrid human-alien super people lmao incredible. Also fun quote from Luis Elizondo, a former intelligence officer and DoD official apparently (lol) in this NPR article on the hearing:
"Let me be clear: UAP are real," he wrote. "Advanced technologies not made by our Government — or any other government — are monitoring sensitive military installations around the globe. Furthermore, the U.S. is in possession of UAP technologies, as are some of our adversaries."
I honestly think our timeline is dumb enough not to exclude the future of the US going to war with China over accusations of it harboring extraterrestrial technology lmao the savages can’t possibly have better tech than us without help from the underwater aliens!!

"Advanced technologies not made by our Government — or any other government — are monitoring sensitive military installations around the globe.
they're trying to get a front row seat
''woah''
Did the Republicans steal a third election?

It seems like inflation is pretty bad in Russia
Russia's inflation is so bad that potatoes cost 64% more than they did at the start of the year - Business Insider, November 12th 2024
- Russia's economy faces stress as high interest rates fail to control inflation.
- Inflation hits 9.8% in September, with prices of food staples surging this year.
- Business leaders criticize high rates, warning of potential bankruptcies and an economic slowdown.
Russia's economy faces stress as high interest rates fail to control inflation.
Maybe because interest rates doesn't reduce inflation and can have the opposite effect.
Its so stupid that interest rates is the only thing against inflation liberals can imagine. How about the Government buys all the potatoes and sells it a price that's socially desirable. The Government can also accumulate excess potatoes and offload it during shortages, I'm not sure about Russia but it is a thing in some countries.
US Government does it with oil and it kinda works, not as well as it would because oil corps have an oligopoly and have price setting power.
The liberal argument against that would be the shortage of potatoes would manifest as empty stores instead of higher prices and that is true. People may also over consume.
But there is another way, have a fixed quantity of potatoes sold at discounted rates. Rest at higher rate or maybe market rates.
Modern Russia is so capitalist-brained. Not just interest rates but I have seen videos of kulaks destroying produce.
Imagine if you said American inflation was bad because the cost of cherries in march was 400% higher than it was in July.
Potatoes have around 1 year of shelf life so their value fluctuates depending on the time of year. If they have a bad season the price will rise regardless of inflation.
You're right that western mainstream media are framing the story in the worst light possible (the place I found the article claimed that the Russian economy has "collapsed") but I think there is some truth to it. I don't remember experiencing potato prices to fluctuate that much over the year and it's not just potatoes. Butter has also seen a 27 point something inflation over the last year.
The west has seen heavy inflation on food as well but Russia is also hit pretty badly.
I'm not saying inflation isn't happening but the price of potatoes is almost completely divorced from that.
In Tasmania a couple years ago a bad season potatoes sent the price $8 for a 2.5 kg bag when the year before they were $5. The year after all the farmers overplanted and the price dropped to $4.50. Last shop we paid $8 for 4kg.
It seems that potatoes' price is significantly higher in 2024 than in 2023, so that doesn't explain things.
You have to also consider that the salaries are much lower in Russia.
Is this a result of the sanctions or something else?
Its a result of a bad harvest and cherry picking data.
Stalin paid the clouds to stop raining
Putin found Stalin's comically large spoon in a closet in the Kremlin and began eating all the potatoes in Russia.
How is the bulletin system supposed to work?
72T used to write a daily/weekly/watever inteval news bullitin, and it would be posted in the comments here but also the bulletins site, and the idea is that you could connect the bulletins to your RSS feed to get the news, and also it would be better archived on the bulletins site
European Liberals realising that American social media is designed for political interference is so funny.
They're realising it? What happened?
Testimony of a British surgeon who spent time in Gaza where he talks about quadcopters coming down after airstrikes and shooting civilians: https://old.reddit.com/r/Global_News_Hub/comments/1gps2bv/british_surgeon_nizam_mamode_testifies_to_the_uk/
Do we know what quadcopter this might be? I have never seen footage of a quadcopter with a gun used in combat yet the claim here is that this was happening day after day? The operational way they're using this must either be really sneaky or so fast in and out that they're never around long enough to be filmed.
There are very few videos out there, so it could be for that reason
Stuff with drones sickens me in a different way. Something about the mixture of total impunity and fine control.
Second video is interesting! It's very stable while firing, I wonder how that works? Small caliber?
First one sounds more like it dropped a small bomb.

Some combat footage from Lebanon and occupied Palestine.
Palestinian resistance forces released more recent footage showing IED and RPG strikes on Zionist Merkava tanks and Namer armored personnel carriers near northern Gaza’s Jabaliya: https://southfront.press/israeli-army-admits-losing-five-more-soldiers-in-gaza-videos/
Lebanese resistance forces recently launching retaliatory strikes on the Zionist Tel Nof airbase: https://s5.cdnstatic.space/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/tel-nof.mp4
I love the Palestine liberation propaganda sound track. I want to walk around town with that song on blast... except that would mean going into town.
