Grieved
ParticipantI was wondering when this would happen – Israel has asked the US to extend the Lebanon ceasefire by another 30 days. This of course is not simply a continuation of the 60 days of violations, but also – and primarily I think – a direct insult to Hezbollah. If the parties all agree to this, what then will Hezbollah do? I have my own hopes, but we shall have to wait for Monday to find out:

ParticipantParticipant“Theyโre just enjoying a brief period to โregroupโ.”
Maybe not. The great thing about this moment is that everyone else is taking this brief period to sort out their analysis of how this conflict has gone. You will enjoy, I think, this process happening with Garland and Laith in the latest. I’ve only just started but already Laith is reminding us how he said at the beginning that after October 7 the Israeli bridgehead was no longer of military use to the empire, and was demoted to full vassal.
The ceasefire, says Garland, looks like it was called by empire to rescue the Israeli entity, drowning in its own filth and incompetence. I agree. That “army” is not regrouping, because how? Into what? As you say, Mr P, it was melting and mutinous. Give it a few days to do its own reflection on what it has just gone through in the last 16 months, and do we see anyone wanting to come back into the charnel house?
Participantcronetoo, I think you will enjoy the latest roundup from Electronic Intifada. I don’t think this has been posted here, apologies if it has. It was streamed yesterday. It includes an interview with Abubaker Abed, the young commentator from Gaza – smiling and happy, as are the whole EI crew. A real indigenous feel for life on the ground right now, and several good video clips throughout the whole thing. Also superb analysis from all, especially from Ali toward the end, where he explains why he thinks the ceasefire may hold (and I agree with his take on the fundamentals):
ParticipantElectronic Intifada has some really good discussion on the ceasefire in the final hour of their latest roundup. It’s all good, but start here at 2:10:06 to have Jon Elmer outline the deal and its multiple strategic implications, and then Ali says aย lot that ‘s well worth listening to – it’s a tale of triumph (and for those who doubt the substance of this, he reports that Israeli media see through Netanyahu’s ploys completely, and they all understand this is a done deal):
ParticipantThis is a very good roundup of the evidence for intentional destruction in the LA fires, and the use of some kinds of directed energy weapons:

This may be the same person who did a similar thing for the Maui meltdown, I’m not sure.
I did see the speculation on a Russian site that this attack was in part aimed at destroying evidence of pedophilia and other such crimes, in fear that the Trump team will uncover it…not so sure about all that, but it’s an idea I hadn’t heard yet so I’ll put it on the table.
After the hurricane that hit North Carolina, I saw mention that most of the weather engineering is done by outsource now, to private companies (a fairly typical Pentagon preference). I can’t find this evidence chain at the moment, but if true, it may explain how simple private mining companies could force a hurricane all the way north like that (blithely devastating parts of the Florida coast along the way). In other words, this kind of havoc could be on its way to becoming increasingly local/provincial/tribal, as it were, involving mere corporate profits rather than overarching social manipulations. Slightly too soon to tell perhaps.
FWIW, the excitable guy at In2ThinAir on YouTube tracks a lot of the Nexrad activity and saw something coming to LA just before these fires, but I didn’t follow and can’t speak very coherently on that. I did follow the hurricane, and he was right on the money with the North Carolina event.
ParticipantParticipantJoti Brar is back! On Garland again. All those things we say just don’t make sense? The fact is that they DO make sense, from the view of Capital. Imperialism, impoverishment, over-production crisis, and even neo-liberal economics – she explains again how our world and western countries are in the situation they’re in:
ParticipantAs to AI, the first thing I did with that photo of Putin and Kim above was to wonder if it was shopped. The Putin pose seems very reminiscent of his celebration with XI. Maybe it was supposed to be understood as not real.
It’s good that even unreal simulacra are being called out loud by real people nowadays. Not only do I not worry about AI, I welcome the conscious understanding by humans of the nature of unreality. We are learning so much in these amazing times of revelation.
ParticipantWell, it was paraphrased and third hand inย a retweet @FirstbloodH above, but if true then Hezbollah has called out the Lebanon Army in this remark:
“the Israelis must withdraw to the blue line and if the Lebanese army does not take its positions on the blue line then the hezb will deploy and have a visible show of arms, meaning 1701 will be null and void.”
I hope that Hezbollah has indeed said this in such plain terms, but if not, one hopes that, even so, all of Lebanon has come to understand that without Hezbollah the Israelis will own Beirut. I look forward to seeing the Zionist filth cleansed from southern Lebanon (and fellow travelers in the army also). An “explosion” of activity from Hezbollah has been assured.
Patience lasts no longer than 60 days.
ParticipantYes, despite what Will Schryver says, it always made great strategic sense to me that the US would test a mini-nuke out in the Syria confusion just to see what would happen, before they used it in more public domains. I’m pretty certain they’ll use these on Yemen – maybe half a dozen or so would make a dent in the mountain cover? Of course, what they haven’t calculated is the Yemeni response to such a thing, but they never do calculate responses.
