And the horror goes on Starving kids Bombed out hospitals Ravaged cities
|
No one talks of war crimes just because Uncle Sam and her majesty are involved in this mess. The hypocrisy stinks! They bomb hospitals They bomb prisons They bomb schools |
Considering the recent pronouncement from the US that nations should be free to determine their alliances... Why can’t they let Yemen be free and determine her alliances? |
And the regime change attempt continues.. Many dead and dying... The world looks away Sad |
Saudi-led coalition’s bombing left hospitals in Yemen overwhelmed with dead and wounded victims Scores of people have been killed and potentially hundreds have been injured by airstrikes in Yemen, the latest escalation in the Saudi Arabia-led coalition’s war against Houthi rebels in the shattered country. Targets struck on Friday reportedly included a prison and an airport in the northern city of Sa’ada, various government facilities and a telecommunications building in Hodeidah. Many of the victims were rushed to Al-Gumhourriyeh Hospital in Sa’ada, which received 138 wounded and 70 dead, according to the aid group Doctors Without Borders (MSF). Al-Gumhourriyeh is so overwhelmed that it can’t accept any more patients, and at least two other hospitals in the city have received large numbers of casualties, MSF said. There are still many bodies at the scene of the most devastating strike, at the prison in Sa’ada. “It is impossible to know how many people have been killed,” said Ahmed Mahat, MSF’s head of mission in Yemen. “It seems to have been a horrific act of violence.” The Red Cross said it sent medical supplies to two of the hospitals that were flooded with casualties. The bombing in Hodeidah knocked out internet service nationwide and allegedly killed at least three children. The online blackout has reportedly hampered efforts to deliver aid and gather information about the airstrikes. The Saudi-led coalition said it had struck the port of Hodeidah and “military targets” in Sanaa, Yemen’s capital. According to the state-owned Saudi Press Agency, the strikes were carried out “in response to the threat of hostile attacks.” The coalition intensified airstrikes in Yemen earlier this week in response to Houthi drone attacks in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia’s partner in the war. Houthi spokesman Yahya Sare’e claimed the attacks in Dubai and Abu Dhabi were retaliation for the coalition’s escalating aggression in Yemen. After Friday’s devastating airstrikes, Sare’e signaled another cycle of retaliation, saying “we advise the foreign companies in the Emirates to leave because they invest in an unsafe country, and the rulers of this country continue in their aggression against Yemen.” https://www.rt.com/news/546817-yemen-saudi-strikes-killed/

WoundedLamb:Bro... I never used the word “brainwash” on you. I just your views are shaped based on the western media reports. And I encouraged you to hear out Russia on this. You mentioned Russia should woo her neighbors. Russia wooed Ukraine until Uncle Sam arranged maidan coup that Forcefully overthrew the government of Yanukovych. Mrs Nuland (US undersecretary) was on the street of Kiev sharing cookies to the lads who stormed parliament. Russia wooed Belarus then Poland and the Americans tried to pull another forcefully overthrow at Minsk. The same in Georgia, Kazakhstan, Armenia etc. forcefully regime change through engineered revolution. Russia is tied of these Cold War games the west always plays on Russia. That’s why they want NATO & US to stop this nonsense of trying to encircle Russia.And they want a written guarantee, not a verbal one in secret. Russia does not need Ukraine, and Russia does not want to invade Ukraine. but if NATO sets up another nuclear missile battery aimed at Russia from Ukraine....then we may have war! |
WoundedLamb:Brother... when you state this skewed view of the situation, it shows that you are listening to only the west and their media propaganda, and have not bothered to read the views of Russia on this matter. When you do, then you will understand that this is not much about Ukraine. It’s the western media that is screaming Ukraine invasion when that fact is about US setting nuclear missiles in Poland and Romania aimed at Russia, NATO’s attempt to encircle Russia with regime change in former soviet nations. |
abeeee:Remind the dude about Capitol Hill incident. When other nations revolted during Arab spring and burnt their parliament Building, America applauded them and egged them on. when the Americans revolted at the Capitol Hill with the same revolutionary fervor, they were called traitors... shot and jailed. Height of hypocrisy! |
CSTRR:Could you tell that kid you quoted that there are free podcast on world war 2 he can listen to rather than waste data hearing zazzo zeh! |
Goldbw122:Why do you people get things so twisted? How many wars have Russia fought since end of world war 2? Compare that stat with the number of wars US has engaged since the Second World War: Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, Vietnam, iraq, Bosnia, Somalia, Korea etc. This is story stinks of the typical western media fear mongering. Surprisingly the story is from thesun newspaper -a major part of the western information war. Listen: it’s the US that’s itching for war. Let them take their nuclear missiles aimed at Russia off of Russian bordering countries. This is the security guarantee that Russia has demanded from US and NATO in writing. That’s quite simple. And they (Russia) have stated for the up-tenth time that they are not invading Ukraine, but Ukraine must not slaughter ethnic Russians in Donbas. |
gabicon:The question is, will they act when you report crimes to them? |
redsun:And the most interesting of it all, they don’t run a democratic system! |
Enyimbamercedes:lol... now they don dey import god. HARIKRISHNA...lol. Their own “amadioha” no work again! |
DukeofNL:Just curious, these ragtag bunch is what the Nigerian Military can not put through the grinders and make minced meat? Is the Army really weak or what? I don’t get this! And the DSS can not infiltrate these lousy bunch? Either there is a political willingness not to get rid of these ragheads or we have a broken security system. |
Brokeloser:They have PhD.... but no common sense. Why is that Nigeria just like to do things the wrong way? Billions spent on these trains but not enough fire extinguisher on them. “Oyibo” seeing those video will laugh their ass off. TIA ! Beating fire with bush stems...lol |
Pontiff’s own stance on homosexuality wavers between conservative and liberal Decades after she was barred from pastoral work by the Vatican, Pope Francis has sent a letter of thanks to an American nun who held services for LGBT people, in which she questioned some teachings of the Church. Since the late 1970s, Sister Jeannine Gramick ran workshops for LGBT Catholics, in which she taught both the Catholic Church’s position on homosexuality and more liberal Christian doctrines. These workshops caught the attention of the Vatican, and in 1999 the Church’s Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith barred her from ministry, as she was promoting, in their words, “ambiguous positions on homosexuality and explicitly criticised documents of the Church’s Magisterium on this issue.” The Congregation’s statement was written by then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, and described homosexuality as an “intrinsic evil.” Gramick ceased her LGBT ministry and joined another religious order. Ratzinger went on to become Pontiff – Pope Benedict XVI – and was regarded as a staunch conservative. His successor, Pope Francis, has a more liberal reputation. In a letter to Gramick sent last month and published by the Jesuit magazine ‘America’ on Friday, Francis thanked the nun for her “closeness, compassion, and tenderness.” The pontiff acknowledged that Gramick had experienced “suffering” during her 50 years of ministry, but did not elaborate further on the topic. Speaking to the Washington Post, [b]Gramick said that she was “overjoyed” by the letter, and expressed hope that it would mark a “turning point” in the Church’s position on homosexuality, [/b]which at present considers it a sin. While the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith recently ruled that gay people may receive blessings, the Church will not bless same-sex unions, as it considers them too close to marriage, and defines marriage strictly a male-female partnership. Francis has stood by this view, stating in 2020 that “homosexual people have a right to be in a family,” but should opt for civil partnerships instead of marriage. Two years earlier, he recommended that gay priests should stay out of the Church, saying “It’s better for them to leave the ministry or the consecrated life rather than to live a double life.” However, the pontiff has made several notable statements in support of the LGBT community. Back in 2013 he declared that “if a person is gay and seeks God and has good will, who am I to judge?” Last summer he praised the work of Rev. James Martin, a Jesuit priest and gay rights campaigner who once ministered alongside Gramick, saying it “reflects the closeness of God.” The previous year he sent a letter of support to an Argentinian nun running a home for transgender women, declaring that the transgender are the “lepers of today.” https://www.rt.com/news/545470-pope-francis-nun-lgbt/

shezy14:Bro, why support this. This is a no brainer. Hilux trucks that can not run on rail tracks how do you move from A to point B to protect the trains? Why don’t they have armed rapid response team on the trains to prevent waylay and kidnap of passengers? But you know the number of police and civil defense men we have is far below UN recommendation. Here it’s 1 police office to 648. Some states have 1:1,181 ratio. There’s a structural problem. There are too many holes to plug. We can’t solve this problem with six hilux trucks (less than 50 armed men) to guard a whole stretch of rail track from Abuja to Kadunna. |
By Bob Smith, “ The FDA wants to take over six decades to release the papers at 500 pages each month. Let’s say it is six decades. That is 6decades times 10 years/decade times 12 months/year times 500 pages/month. That amounts to 360,000 pages. One must wonder what would comprise that many pages. If it is research notes then with that much research why is the “vaccine” not only not effective but harmful. It must have been known that the “vaccine” would result in the situation we now have where the most vaccinated areas are the highest concentration of those with covid and that the highest percentage of those with covid are the vaccinated. One may wonder if in those 360,000 pages there is anything about the profit that can be made from the vaccine and that is why the FDA does not want the papers released. They may want to scour the papers to make sure they don’t miss redacting any comments about profit likely some of which goes to the FDA and CDC.” |
A federal judge said the drug regulator must radically accelerate its release of hundreds of thousands of files on the Pfizer jab The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been ordered to hasten the publication of documents related to Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine by more than one-hundred-fold, after the agency claimed the disclosure would take decades. In a ruling on Thursday, District Judge Mark Pittman rejected previous arguments from the FDA after it said it might take decades, possibly until 2096, to complete the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. Though the agency said it could only process and publish around 500 pages each month, Pittman said it would have to pick up the pace – instead ordering it to put out 55,000 pages in the same time span. “The court concludes that this FOIA request is of paramount public importance,” the judge wrote, adding that the timely completion of the release is “not only practicable, but necessary.” Pittman accepted an earlier proposal from the FDA for an initial publication of some 12,000 pages by the end of this month, but said it must drastically speed up the process by March. He allowed the regulator to redact records only when it has “privilege, exemption, or exclusion” over information, and told the plaintiffs and FDA to submit a “joint status report” detailing the progress of the rolling disclosure by April 1, and again every 90 days afterward until it is complete. The FOIA suit was brought in September by attorney Aaron Siri on behalf of the Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency organization, a group of professors and scientists who previously complained the FDA was dragging its feet on sharing Pfizer’s vaccine data. Because the agency was able to process the whole trove of Pfizer docs in a lightning-fast 108 days in order to license the vaccine, the plaintiffs insisted it did not need decades to review, redact and hand over the documents as claimed. Commenting on Thursday’s ruling in a Substack post, Siri deemed the decision a “great win for transparency” that will break a government “stranglehold” on the vaccine data.

“The CIA offshoot National Endowment for Democracy is financing some 20 'civil society' regime change programs in Kazakhstan with about $50,000 per annum each. The involved organizations currently seem to be mostly quiet but are a sure sign that the U.S. is playing a role behind the scenes. On December 16 details of upcoming demonstrations were announced by the U.S. embassy in Kazakhstan.” https://www.ned.org/region/eurasia/kazakhstan-2020/ |
White House denied involvement in this colour revolution. But when you look at RAND’s recommendations for the US government to pressure RUSSIA, you can see that the US has executed measures 1to 4 against RUSSIA, and they are now at Measure 5. See attached photo. The 350 pages long report recommended certain steps to be taken by the U.S. to contain Russia.

US denies role in Kazakhstan uprising President Joe Biden’s spokeswoman has denied that the US government is behind the violent protests that have rocked Kazakhstan this week, claiming that unnamed “Russians” have falsely accused Washington of triggering the tumult. The White House is monitoring the protests in Kazakhstan and supports “calls for calm, for protesters to express themselves peacefully and for authorities to exercise restraint,” Jen Psaki told reporters on Wednesday. “There are some crazy Russian claims about the US being behind this, so let me just use this opportunity to convey that is absolutely false and clearly a part of the standard Russian disinformation playbook,” she said. Psaki didn’t specify who in Russia has alleged a American role in the Kazakhstan unrest. Russia’s Foreign Ministry has said that it’s closely monitoring the protests and has called for a peaceful solution. The Kremlin has warned against foreign interference in the conflict and said Kazakhstan can handle its own problems. Neither of the statements mentioned the US. |
Law enforcement officers beheaded in Kazakhstan – media Three officers have been beheaded during violent protests in the Kazakhstani city of Almaty, according to local media. The death toll among police and security forces has reportedly reached 13. Reports of beheadings have come courtesy of Kazakhstan’s state-run TV channel Khabar 24, citing city authorities. Some 353 officers are said to have been injured. It is not yet clear whether the rioters decapitated the victims while they were still alive or mutilated their bodies posthumously. The channel cited officials as stating that the beheadings were “direct proof of the rioting groups’ terrorist and extremist nature.” Russia’s RIA news agency has reached out to the Almaty authorities for comment, with officials confirming to the journalists that at least two bodies had been found headless. Protests flared up in multiple regions in Kazakhstan in early January, with citizens initially decrying a steep hike in the cost of liquefied petroleum gas. In an apparent bid to deescalate the situation, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev imposed a ceiling on fuel prices for six months and disbanded his government. However, violent demonstrations continue unabated, with the former capital, Almaty, becoming the focus. https://www.rt.com/russia/545290-officers-beheaded-in-kazakhstan/ |
Dozens eliminated’ after trying to storm police stations in Kazakhstan – official Kazakhstani security services have claimed that they prevented attempts to storm police buildings in the country’s former capital, Almaty, on Wednesday night, killing dozens of protesters involved in the attacks. Demonstrators tried to take over the force's headquarters and several stations across the city overnight, police spokeswoman Altanat Avirbek said on Thursday morning. She indicated that those attempts had been curbed, while “dozens of attackers were eliminated.” “Their identities are being established now,” she added, without revealing any more details. “Anti-terrorist operations” have been ongoing at three police buildings in the city, according to the spokeswoman, who urged residents in those areas to stay indoors. During the night, several hundred troops also surrounded Almaty’s main square and engaged in a gunfight with a group of rioters. The security perimeter has since been removed, and the soldiers have left. The military had been deployed in the city of two million people, the country's largest, after a day of violence on Wednesday, which saw angry mobs overrunning government buildings, including the old presidential residence and the mayor’s office. The airport had also fallen into the hands of protesters, but it was later retaken by security forces, according to reports. Shops, gun stores, banks, hospitals and other venues have been ransacked and looted. Eight officers have been killed and 317 wounded in the unrest, the Interior Ministry said late on Wednesday. Kazakhstani President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has blamed the violence on “international terrorist gangs,” and appealed to the Russia-led Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) for help in restoring order in the country. The bloc said CSTO peacekeepers will be deployed in Kazakhstan “for a limited period of time in order to stabilize and normalize the situation.” But details of the operation have yet to be revealed. The CSTO is a security treaty between six former Soviet states: Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan, It runs along similar lines to the US-led NATO bloc. Azerbaijan was an original member of the organization upon its foundation in 1994, but withdrew in 1999. Kyrgyzstan came close to asking for the deployment of peacekeepers 2010, during clashes between the country’s ethnic Kyrgyz and Uzbek populations, but on that occasion the alliance did not agree to provide military assistance. Protests across Kazakhstan, including Almaty, capital Nur-Sultan, Aktobe and other cities, started after the New Year. They were triggered by a two-fold hike in liquefied petroleum gas prices as the government said it couldn’t afford to subsidize the widely used cheap fuel anymore. The initially peaceful rallies quickly turned violent and got out of hand. |

“It should be noted that Kazakhstan had decided to switch from Cyrillic to the Roman alphabet. So it was flirting with the West. Just as Ukraine and Georgia and other countries have been. “ |
By lachometer Russian Special Forces on the way. “a peacekeeping contingent to Kazakhstan, reported that a special forces company of the 76th Airborne Division, as well as a company of the 45th Airborne special forces brigade, received the command from Russia.” “Groups from the second and 24th special forces brigades of the Central Military District are also “on high alert”, they “can be reinforced by the battalion of the 55th mountain brigade also from the Central Military District, but the last order has not yet arrived,” reports REN TV.” “An air group for Kazakhstan is being formed at Kubinka and Chkalovsky airfields. It will include several passenger aircraft, as well as cargo IL-76 and AN-124 aircraft, ” the report says. https://vz.ru/news/2022/1/6… |
By Andrei (thesaker) According to Russian sources, Riots at many cities. The usual US-controlled disinformation resources are out in full force to support the insurrection. The levels of violence are very high, even ambulances are attacked, cops are beaten up, disarmed, undressed, and humiliated, weapons stores have been emptied. The Internet has been disconnected, as has power in many parts of Almaty and Nursultan. This is a repeat of what the US tried in Belarus and in Kyrgyzstan, and the next couple of days will be crucial. Many government buildings have been seized and burned, some have been re-taken by the authorities. Law and order have broken down and groups of thugs are controlling the streets in many locations. There are reports of organized armed groups engaging in firefights with police, security, and military forces. One source reports that Kazakh Airborne Forces are also engaged. There are also reports of Takfiri elements using these riots (officially triggered by an increase in the cost of gas). Official sources report 8 dead and 317 wounded among the police forces. The authorities lost control over several cities (including Alma-Ata) and 3 airports (part of which were torched). Astana and Pavlodar remain under the control of authorities. President Tokaev has requested assistance of the Collective Security Treaty Organization. CSTO peace keepers are being deployed to Kazakhstan. Martial law has been decreed for the entire country. President Tokaev has claimed that his country was under foreign attack. These events are a direct threat to both Russia and China. Turkey seems to be pushing its pan-Turkic agenda. The CIA supported Uighur Takfiris also seemed to be involved. This is all taken straight out of the CIA playbook: Twitter, Telegram channels (including NEXTA), Soros-funded organizations, etc. are all deeply involved (including Ukie PSYOPs units).

Iliveforever:Lol... it’s not about Bennet, it’s the knesset that made the laws. History of gay rights: same-sex sexual activity was legalized in 1988 Discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation was prohibited in 1992. Same-sex couples are allowed to jointly adopt, following a landmark court decision in 2008 LGBT people are also allowed to serve openly in the military. Tel Aviv was referred to by the Calgary Herald as one of the most gay-friendly cities in the world Unregistered cohabitation since 1994; Same-sex marriages performed outside of Israel recognized since 2006, recognition of same-sex unions inside Tel-Aviv Yafo since 2020 A monument dedicated to the gay victims of the Holocaust was erected in Tel Aviv in 2014 |
Zoharariel:No, you are not a sadist. I quite understand the scale of cleansing required to just fix this nation. Everyone cries bad but everyone is part of the corrupt system. Are there really born-agains in such a country? I wonder because the whole system is rigged in a corrupt way that you can’t escape not getting tainted in one way or another. |
This country needs cleansing ... total cleansing! Not the type you get from those MOGs. Do you think democracy can ever cleanse the rotten system and set this country right? Or a no-nonsense strongman rule? |
