More on Dope.. Are the extant US blue-blood money all built on opium wealth?? Two centuries and more.. I read this years ago too…
💠@Slavyangrad:
⭕ Medvedev [his latest Telegram today]:
“According to the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, drug production in Afghanistan has decreased by 95% from the end of 2022 to the present day. And this applies both to the reduction of poppy cultivation (from 233 to 11 thousand hectares) and opium production itself (from 6.2 thousand to 333 tons). In less than a year, the Taliban (banned in our country as a terrorist organization), no matter how we treat it, has done what the coalition of NATO impotents led by the Americans, supposedly fighting terrorism in the country, could not do in 20 years. This is what happens when the one who was really interested in exporting heroin to Russia and other countries leaves the region. Extra joy: everything is still the same in Mexico…..”Note: once the invisible hand of the market was removed from Afghanistan’s throat, the system began to work differently….
I wonder if there is the same invisible hand of the market behind fentanyl.⭕ By the way, developing this theme.
What is the secret of your untold fortune? Oh, I’ve just been working hard
Historian and writer James Bradley at the presentation of his book China Mirage:
“When we hear the name Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the first thing that should come to mind is China. Because it was one of the major influences on young Roosevelt’s life. His mother, Sarah Delano Roosevelt, grew up in Hong Kong. She was the one who paid Franklin’s bills. Franklin Roosevelt never had a high paying job. For most of his life, he was a civil servant. Yet he had yachts, townhouses in New York, a summer home in Maine. Where did he get all this money? From his mother’s family– Delano. Where did the Delanos get their money from? His grandfather Warren Delano was an American drug lord in China, the largest American opium trader in that country.
It’s the same as if the Cali cartel, which supplies cocaine to the U.S., had nurtured the president of Colombia. It seems wild to us. But Warren Delano was an opium trafficker, that is, a criminal from the Chinese point of view.
You think I’m giving you an unusual example from history? Not at all. If you drive up and down the East Coast of the United States, there are traces of the Chinese opium trade.
Take Yale University. The Tomb, now the headquarters of the Skull and Bones Society on the Yale campus, is still funded by the Russell Trust. The Russell Trust was the largest drug trafficker in China, and Warren Delano worked for them. Yale University was built on land given to it by opium drug lords.
The most famous building on the Columbia University campus is the Lowe Library. It is named in honor of Abbott Law, who traded opium in China with Warren Delano. Princeton University’s first major donor was Stephen Green. Stephen Green took over Russell and Company’s opium operations after Warren Delano, having gotten rich, returned to the United States.
America’s first industrial city, Lowell, Massachusetts, was founded by opium merchants. The first railroads on the East Coast? Opium money. How did the great American transcendentalist philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson have so much time to do philosophy? Because he married the owner of an opium fortune. Take the Council on Foreign Relations. It’s the Coolidge Family, opium again. Chiquita banana company, AT&T phone company? Same thing. Dig into the history of any person with the last name Forbes. For example, in the family tree of (former) U.S. Secretary of State John Forbes Kerry. What do you see there? You’ll see a fortune made in the drug trade because his great-grandfather traded opium in China.
When the Chinese talk about a century of humiliation, that’s what they mean. We sold them opium under the roof of the British, French and American fleets. Warren Delano was consul in Canton, he welcomed the first ships of the American navy in the First Opium War. If you come to Canton, what is now Guangzhou, you will see a statue dedicated to the man who asked Warren Delano to stop supplying drugs to China. Go to Chinatown in New York, there are two statues erected there. One to Confucius, the other to an official named Lin, who begged Warren Delano to give up the drug trade in China.”

⭕ Aid workers cook food over a fire for children in the town of Rafah, bordering Egypt, in the Gaza Strip. As a result of the blockade, a difficult food situation developed in the city, especially after the IDF destroyed all the fishing boats, thanks to which local residents could somehow feed themselves
⭕ Russian citizens began to arrive at the Rafah border crossing. More than 80 Russian citizens, who received approval from the Israeli authorities to travel to Egyptian territory on November 10, began arriving at the Rafah border crossing.
After they cross the border, they must be met by employees of the Russian consulate in Egypt.
Earlier, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that Moscow was shocked by the Israeli Ambassador’s statement that it could take up to two weeks to agree on a list of Russians for evacuation. Zakharova pointed out that such logic is unacceptable.💠@Africa Intel:
⭕ Hamas calls on Egypt to provide Gaza with roaming services, Internet connectionHamas has asked Egypt to provide roaming services to the Gaza Strip, where telephone communication and the Internet have been cut off, the movement’s spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said. “The terrorist Zionist occupation has cut telephone services and the Internet in the Gaza Strip. We call on Egypt to open roaming services on Egyptian networks,” the spokesman said.
On November 5, Palestinian provider Paltel reported that telephone and Internet services had again been disrupted throughout the Gaza Strip. A similar announcement was made by Jawwal, the second provider of telecommunications services in Gaza. The complete shutdown of Internet, wireline and cellular services in the Palestinian enclave was first reported on October 27.

⭕ Israel did not allow the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights into its territory. Israeli authorities have denied UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) Volker Türk a visit to the state and the occupied Palestinian territories.
⭕ Gaza Strip: life without water.
On October 9, Israel imposed a complete blockade of the exclave, cutting off all sources of water, electricity, food and fuel.
✍️ With the sector running out of fuel for desalination plants, finding water is becoming nearly impossible.
❗️ UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, warned that soon “people [in Gaza] will start dying without clean water.” [video]
⭕ Electricity was cut off at the Al-Quds Hospital complex in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli army has reached the outskirts of the hospital. Fierce fighting is taking place in the immediate vicinity of the medical facility. A representative of the Palestinian Ministry of Health noted that doctors cannot leave the building even to bury the dead. “We will create a mass grave in the Al-Quds complex to bury the dead; there is no opportunity to go outside,” the representative said.
⭕ The UN voted to declare Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Al-Quds (Jerusalem) and the occupied Golan Heights, illegal:
🔹“For” – 145 countries voted;
🔹18 countries “abstained” from voting, including Georgia;

⭕ For the first time, in a very long time, Israel has struck deep into Lebanon, 40kms deep into the country. Specifically, at the Al-Barak area in Al-Zahrani in southern Lebanon. [this was mere hours before Nasrallah’s speech…]
⭕ Doctors without Borders state that Al-Shifa hospital has suffered “catastrophic damage” and that the interior is in a bad state.
⭕ Latest Gaza War Map. In the ongoing conflict near Al Shifa Hospital, intense fighting persists, with Israeli forces advancing west of the port, less than 500 meters away.
⭕ French President Macron says “Israel has ‘no justification’ to bomb women and babies in Gaza.” What a hypocrite. He gave them bombs to kill civilians, flew there 3 times and stood with Netanyahu to justify the Zionist war in Gaza and now he thinks he can win back some support by criticising the Israelis? He is equally responsible along with a lot of European and US leadership.
⭕ A school in California suspended a 13-year-old boy for saying “Free Palestine.”

⭕ “Israel has spent a month pounding Gaza into rubble and filling the streets with children’s blood. With European and American weapons, and European and American support. Still, Ursula von der Leyen cannot even say the word: “ceasefire.” This isn’t just Israel’s genocide. It’s Europe’s too” Says Clare Daly, an Irish member of the European Parliament.
⭕ Ione Belarraa, Spanish Minister of Social Rights and the 2030 Agenda:
“What we are seeing in Palestine is a genocide by Israel. It is ethnic cleansing. It is an attempt to exterminate an entire people.”

The evil man: “I have a great hope that Reagan recognizes the PLO and gives us a state!”
The good man says, “You can’t expect honey from the ass of an animal.”
A refugee breaks through the tiles, and a sign reads, “Balata camp, entry is forbidden.”A zionist soldier overturns a tile to find a key of return. On the underside is written: “We will return to Yaffa. Balata refugee camp.”
(Balata is a derivative of “slabs”/”tiles” in Arabic).
These drawings are from August 1986 and June 1987, just months before the First Intifada, in which Balata played a leading role in as the spark of the uprising in the West Bank after it had spread from Gaza. Naji had predicted the central role of the refugee camp in the intifada. Today, Balata remains a fortress of resistance, having repelled the US-backed zionist military once more after a fierce seven-hour-long battle.
[Balata was in news last weeks too! Still fighting. And would be for another 40 years.. why they genocide them all, especially pregnant women, children, and elders who can hand down the knowledge, culture and skills of Resistance. The despair of Zionists is total.]

The “good man” says to his child in front of a map of Palestine and a ruined home: “Do not be sad, my child. In order to anger the Arabs of America and the Arabs of David, speak to me about Palestine!!”Characters of Naji Al-Ali:
🔹The “good man” AKA Al-Zalama represents the poor, struggling masses.
🔹Fatima, a woman, is the embodiment of Palestine, Lebanon, and all refugee camps, often with a key around her neck, symbolizing return.
🔹The “evil man” represents everything negative in the Arab world: normalization, capitalism, and greed. [often depicted as an obese Gulf elite..]
🔹Handala, named after a bitter fruit, is Naji’s signature. He does not age until liberation. His hair is thorny like a weapon. He wears shabby clothes. He doesn’t face us, but Palestine, and his hands are clasped in defiance of US and zionist deals. It is noteworthy that Handala’s image has been co-opted by exploiters of the struggle and normalizers, divorcing Handala from the revolutionary politics of his creator.
In this December 1978 drawing, a Palestinian child dons his amputee father’s combat boots to continue the struggle. Fatima cries while embracing her husband, wearing patchy clothing symbolizing their status as refugees. The map behind them reads, “We will return.”

⭕ Al Shifa status as of current reports – out of power. ICU and Surgery is out too. The fighting is at least several blocks away from the hospital. Perimeter is being attacked by artillery and alleged sniper fire.
⭕ Egypt has informed the U.S that “Israeli occupation of the Gaza Strip” in any form, and under any name, is rejected, and goes against the agreements that Egypt, Israel, and the United States came to during the early 2000s, when Ariel Sharon evacuated Israeli settlements and presence in the Gaza Strip.
⭕ Professional commentary about this.
The 1979 Camp David agreement detailed that the Israeli Military Government, that was enacted over Gaza and the West Bank, be dissolved, eventually, the Israeli Military Government which was responsible for the civil and security affairs of Gaza and the West Bank were lifted off per Camp David.Israel would be directly violating Camp David if it reinstates a military government in Gaza, considering that this treaty is the cornerstone of Israeli diplomacy, I’m positive most elites in Tel Aviv realize this, as for Netanyahu and his insane cabinet – they’re in a serious situation, do they violate the one thing that kept them safe in terms of diplomacy, or not go with an occupation of Gaza? [They begin to understand there is a new normal and sanity plays little role. A betrayer is the last to understand he is being betrayed.. A seed Egypt planted in 1970s by selling out and normalizing with Zionism bears fruit today. The nearly 200-strong armada waiting off Egypt’s coast is for multiple state actors.. Sinai falls within the two blue stripes being sewn by Satan]

⭕ An officer in Hezbollah in Lebanon to Al-Mayadeen:
—
Our people in Gaza, we will not skimp on you, not even with the gift of blood, and this is the least of our duties.A major accomplishment was to draw a significant part of the “israeli” forces from the interior to the Lebanese front, thereby relieving pressure on our brothers in Gaza.
What the Islamic Resistance has accumulated in terms of equipment, arms, readiness, and preparedness since 2006 will explode in anger and lava on the usurping enemy, who has seen very little of it so far.
Our deployment was operational, and we remained in full readiness to confront any aggression. Operations began in the Shebaa Farms area and extended to cover all sites over a distance exceeding 100 kilometers.
The “israeli” interior was targeted, and the “iron dome’s” operation was disrupted in many places.
A large number of Merkava tanks were hit and disabled by guided missiles.
Among the major achievements was the destruction of a large part of the “israeli” sites.
The primary accomplishment is blinding the enemy’s eyes and preventing them from seeing.
The resistance responded to the enemy who attacked the region of Iqlim Al-Tuffah by expanding the range of fire and the nature of the response.

⭕ About the Strikes of the US and Israeli Air Forces in Syria. Syria continues to be a hotspot of events, with the Russian Aerospace Forces targeting pro-Turkish formations and the Turks attacking the Kurds in the north. Recently, both the Israelis and the Americans conducted targeted operations.🔻On the night of November 7-8, four Israeli Air Force F-16I fighters from Ramon Air Base launched eight guided missiles from Lebanese airspace at targets in southwestern Syria. The guidance for the operation was provided by two Heron-1 UAVs from Palmachim Air Base, operating over the Golan Heights. It is worth noting that out of the eight missiles launched, only one was intercepted by Syrian air defense systems. Four missiles targeted electronic jamming stations in the provinces of Damascus and Es-Suwayda, one destroyed an antenna from the GYL-1 radar, and two struck a building belonging to pro-Iranian groups near Damascus. Despite their engagement in the Gaza Strip, the Israelis continue to carry out strikes in Syrian territory. Their focus is not only on countering Iranian forces at their borders but also on neutralizing the Syrian Armed Forces’ air defense capabilities. This is evident from the destruction of electronic warfare and air defense systems.
🔻On the night of November 8-9, the Americans deployed a pair of F-15s and F-16s from Al-Salti airbase in Jordan to the Al Bukamal border crossing. They targeted Iranian proxy warehouses in the east of Deir ez-Zor and near Al Mayadin in response to attacks by Shiite groups on American bases in the Al-Omar and Koniko oil fields. The surveillance for this operation was conducted by two Reapers from the same base. It is important to note that these strikes on pro-Iranian groups should not be seen as a step towards further escalation. At this stage, they can be viewed as a means of maintaining a desired level of tension through mutual attacks. [take with grain of salt. Largely ineffectual and impotent activity by zionazis to vent frustration on empty desert. Syria’s key air-defense is secure in Russian hands. The map is useful.]
⭕ An agreement has been reached to exchange Palestinian women and children detained by Israel for one 100 Israeli hostages held by Hamas, Al Arabiya reports
⭕ Israeli media: After the attacks from Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, additional arenas will develop and additional threats will be launched against Israel. What happened in the north increased the level of fighting, and the most important threat is the ability to penetrate through infiltration with UAV’s carrying explosives. [the latter refers to Lancet/Shahed type drones which Hezbollah sent today, leading to casualties. They will be fed a steady such diet..]
⭕ International Red Cross: The health system in the Gaza Strip has reached the point of no return
⭕ Israeli media: 5 injuries in the north today, including 3 serious injuries as a result of an anti-tank missile and 2 as a result of a suicide drone. [these are all due to work by Hezbollah]
⭕ Israeli media: The israeli army began besieging hospitals in the Gaza Strip [this is the Death of western civilization! What they openly proclaim it on TV.. cartoonish action to rival any B-movie villain.. “We have met the enemy..”]
⭕ Director of the World Health Organization: The health situation in the Gaza Strip is catastrophic [even a hopelessly criminal organization run by genocidal maniacs is astonished]

“In recent footage, a drone struck a Bradley infantry fighting vehicle.
The new Lancet kamikaze UAVs received additional cameras that ensure the operation of LIDAR, a system for obtaining data about distant objects by reflecting light and scattering it in transparent and translucent environments.
With this technology, the warhead of the drone detonates at a distance from the target; after the explosion, the cumulative jet reaches the object and hits it. A few meters do not reduce the penetrating properties of such ammunition.
If the modification gains momentum, then the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ equipment with protective nets, which even before could not boast of excellent efficiency, will become defenseless, Ukrainian resources admit.”

There will be no international tribunals, at least involving the West in the Judges’ row…. Victors’ Justice, a la Nuremberg is baked in. So sad.. The entire edifice of the post-WW2 system built by the Anglo-Americans during the Atlantic Charter is being dismantled. Lavrov recently remarked on this future course, sans the West:
🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks and answers to participants’ questions at the federal educational marathon “Knowledge. First” (Moscow, November 6, 2023)
Key talking points:
💬 International politics has entered a new phase and is undergoing tectonic shifts that are driven by the ongoing formation of a multipolar international order. <…> The new global architecture will not be ruled by a single hegemon, but will be genuinely democratic and fair.
🌐 The polycentricity or multipolarity that is taking shape right before our eyes is truly inclusive in its nature. New global decision-making centres are emerging and strengthening their positions in Eurasia, the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.
• Today, #BRICS and the #SCO are the key pillars of the emerging multipolar international order.
• I would like to make it clear that this does not mean starting from scratch and erasing everything created by our predecessors. The foundation for building a new world is in place, and it is strong. It is the UN Charter.
🤝 We see positive developments in Eurasia that are designed to harmonise the potential of various regional initiatives, including the EAEU and China’s Belt and Road initiative.
• International isolation, which some said was in store for us, is not reality. We engage with the Global Majority countries, which make up 85 percent of the world’s population. People in these countries (the vast majority of them) see Russia as a good friend and a reliable partner, who has repeatedly proved its reliability and has done a lot to build country-to-country relations based on internationally recognised norms of international law.

⭕ For those who don’t remember, #Israel’s genocide and invasion is business as usual: In 1982, the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) invaded #Beirut #Lebanon and besieged it for 88 days, killing an estimated 18,000 people. Not a drop of water or a piece of bread was allowed in.
⭕ The Israeli criminal mind: (1982) One weekend, I left besieged #Beirut to take a day off from the bombing before the siege. When I returned, the Israelis surrounded the city and prevented anyone from going in or out. When I insisted on going back into the city of #Beirut to do my job as a journalist, the Israeli officer let me in through a small side street next to the former Lebanese parliament on Museum Street, where I saw many people killed on the way and bodies lying everywhere. I walked between the bodies and the rubble and couldn’t understand why there were so many bodies until I got to the other side, and the resistance forces told me that I had just walked into a minefield.
⭕ The Israeli officer forced me to empty the only bottle of water I was carrying and to throw away my sandwich. Israel cut the water & electricity in #Beirut before bombing it. I returned the morning when the Israeli tanks were trying to break into the city to observe the advance.
⭕ It’s a long story, I’ll tell you one day, how I was caught with Italian & French journalists in crossfire & managed to cross 400 m in 4 hrs under the bombardment of Israeli tanks, in the crossfire of the Mil Tribunal, until we reached the Barbir hospital on the demarcation line
⭕ You see, for #Israel to cut water & electricity, besiege a city, bomb & massacre civilians is normal behaviour that leaves its officials w/o any remorse. It is normal because we are dealing with the 2d and 3d generations of the Zionist Irgun Terrorist organisation, born in 1931
⭕ Those who created #Israel and ruled it came from the Irgun terrorists. Therefore, it is normal behaviour in a terrorist mentality to torture people and make them suffer before killing them. ZIONISM AND TERROR: THE CREATION OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL.
⭕ For #Israel, zionist terrorists, it leaves them with no remorse to kill children since 1931. Therefore, don’t be surprised when you believe that the killing of 4500 children might shake the Israeli zionist consciousness because there isn’t one.
⭕ The @Netanyahu’s concern is how to save himself after the war and who to blame for the failure of the 7th of October under his watch. That is it. There is no feeling for ethnic cleansing or exodus or genocide or crimes against humanity as Israel has its back covered by the #US.
⭕ Thanks to @elonmusk, social media has the upper hand over mainstream media for the first time. We here have the power to influence governments around the world to see what we’re showing them in #Gaza, and they can’t ignore it. [Telegram is even more relevant now??? Hence why “our Elon” is forced to keep it open. Twitter is increasingly redundant]
⭕ In some of their writings and revelations, Zionists Joseph Trumpeldor, Vladimir Jabotinsky, Menahem Begin, Ben Gurion, and all the Israeli generals assert that violence and terror are the backbone of the plan to enforce the Zionist programme. This was necessarily so because the Zionists have invaded Palestine, evicted the majority of the population, and followed this up with further use of force and terrorism.’ The Zionists are convinced “that physical force is the only tangible political reality which carries weight and is significant in the affairs of nations…current Israeli political vision is mostly conceptualized in terms of jets and tanks.”
💠@Intel Slava Z:
⭕ Tehran decided to remind Erdogan how he trades oil with Israel despite his anti-Israeli statements. [the rage of the Sultan is at his fatal exposure, not at dying Palestinians…]
💠@DDGeopolitics:
⭕ Update CSG 2 (USS Dwight D. Eisenhower) Location, Gulf of Aden, south of Yemen. US Navy Seahawk MH-60 “VVAC705” (168179) was tracking around 00:30, assigned to USS Mount Whitney. [let’s rock & roll…]
⭕ “No water, no electricity for 30 days but, most importantly, we survived” 🇷🇺 Russians who are due to leave the Gaza Strip on Friday began arriving at the Rafah checkpoint [video] [these appear the muslim Russians of the Caucasus; Kadyrov’s people, entrenched in the Holy Land for 4-500 years.. perhaps visiting relatives, or volunteering, or on pilgrimages, or tourism]
⭕ Iran’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations: We are not involved in any attacks against US forces in the region [this is likely technically true. Will it deter the crazed?? Iran is #7 in 5 years, too long on the back-burner]
⭕Israeli media: Israeli army tanks surround two (2) hospitals in central Gaza City and call for their evacuation.
Al-Mayadeen correspondent: Occupation tanks surround Al-Rantisi and Al-Nasr hospitals in the Gaza Strip. The occupation is intensively bombing the vicinity of these hospitals, making the exit of civilians fraught with danger and exposing them to death. Most of the roads leading to these hospitals are being bombed by the occupation
[consider the open barbarity: (1) You attack a protected facility. (2) You demand its illegal evacuation whilst bombing it. (3) You ignore inability for it to be emptied without killing thousands of helpless and critically sick. (4) You keep bombing it to remind them and occasionally damage parts of the facility. (5) When some start to leave, you bomb the roads used by the evacuees. These are among reasons no zionist will be alive in West Asia within a generation….]
⭕ Israeli media: Sources in the government coalition say behind the scenes that Netanyahu must leave. Likud Knesset members whisper that every day that Netanyahu remains in office harms not only the party but also Israel. [it’s too late! The die is cast either way]
⭕ Turkey, Egypt and Israel have created a coordination group to remove the wounded from the Gaza Strip , the Turkish Ministry of Health reported [the three stooges servicing each other in broad daylight!]
⭕ Israeli media: The Israeli army is approaching Al-Shifa Hospital
⭕ Material of the deployment of Israeli tanks near Al-Rantisi Hospital on Al-Nasr Street, west of Gaza
⭕ Director General of Gaza Hospitals to Al-Araby TV:
🔹We will not evacuate the hospitals and we will try to provide what we can to the patients
🔹We have postponed necessary surgeries and are forced to treat patients without anesthesia
🔹Genocide of hospitals in Gaza after cutting off electricity and fuel
🔹Only 172 wounded were discharged for treatment outside the Strip
⭕ Egyptian Presidency: Egyptian President Al-Sisi and the Emir of Qatar affirmed their rejection of any attempts to liquidate the Palestinian issue at the expense of the Palestinian people or the countries of the region and rejected attempts at forced displacement. [Ok. and what are the eunuchs doing about ongoing genocide???? The Palestinian issue needs Palestinians alive to matter, no?]
