Minnesota is Not Even in the Top 25 States for Most “Illegal Immigrants” and Accounts for Only 0.7% of all Undocumented in the US. Trump’s Racist Circus to Entertain Neuropeons Delayed by Bad Weather

/

According to the Migration Policy Institute, Minnesota ranks 29th in the nation for having the most undocumented immigrants. It has approximately 100,000 undocumented persons which accounts for 0.7% of all undocumented in the US (see chart below). That is, at least 20 other states have at least double the number of “illegals.” Similarly, DC accounts for 0.2%. As such, the Blight House’s immigration efforts are not a practical means of reducing the immigrant population. If the ostensible purpose of clown Trump’s efforts is to indulge racists who love watching non-white people being dominated, then what is the actual purpose here?

* Unauthorized immigrant population includes those who entered the country without authorization and visa overstayers, as well as individuals who hold a liminal (or “twilight”) status such as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), humanitarian parole, or Temporary Protected Status (TPS), as well as those with a pending asylum application.

Methodology: The Migration Policy Institute’s method uses information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) to assign legal status to noncitizens in the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS). In the SIPP, noncitizens report whether they currently have lawful permanent resident (LPR) status—i.e., a green card. Those without LPR status may be recent refugees, temporary visitors (e.g., international students or high-skilled H-1B workers), or unauthorized immigrants. MPI's method maps characteristics such as country of birth, year of U.S. entry, age, gender, and educational attainment between the two surveys, and those noncitizens in the ACS who have characteristics similar to those reporting LPR status in the SIPP are coded as LPRs in the ACS. The remaining noncitizens—who are similar in characteristics to those not reporting LPR status in the SIPP—are classified as either unauthorized or legal temporary migrants, depending on whether they meet the qualifications for H-1B and the other temporary visa classifications. Estimates of unauthorized immigrants are weighted to match control totals (benchmarks) for immigrants from a set of origin countries and world regions. These control totals are calculated by subtracting the number of legal immigrants from the total of all immigrants for each country and region that are captured in the ACS data. The number of legal immigrants is estimated by adding up all legal admissions from each country and region in every year—using Department of Homeland Security administrative data—and then reducing this number to account for deaths and emigration of legal immigrants. Finally, the unauthorized immigrant population estimates are adjusted upward slightly to account for the undercount of this population in the ACS. [MORE]

ANOTHER NON-INSURRECTION CIRCUS FOR NEUROPEONS WHO STILL WALK AROUND ON ALL FOURS AT THE CRIB. The Pentagon has ordered about 1,500 active-duty soldiers to prepare for a possible deployment to Minnesota, defense officials told The Washington Post late Saturday, after President Donald Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act in response to unrest there.

The soldiers are assigned to two infantry battalions with the Army’s 11th Airborne Division, which is based in Alaska and specializes in cold-weather operations.

The Army placed the units on prepare-to-deploy orders in case violence in Minnesota escalates, officials said, characterizing the move as “prudent planning.” It is not clear whether any of them will be sent to the state, the officials said, speaking like some others on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military planning.

What Federal Laws are ICE Cops Enforcing as they Post-Up, Stand Around in the Street and Grit on People? Court Issues Warnings and Partially Blocks Tactics against Protesters in Minnesota

/

From [HERE] The US District Court for the District of Minnesota on Friday granted in part and denied in part a motion for a preliminary injunction brought by six individuals who say federal immigration agents unlawfully arrested, stopped, threatened and/or used chemical irritants against them while they observed, recorded, and protested immigration enforcement activity in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul.

The court order prohibits agents from retaliating against individuals engaged in “peaceful and unobstructive protest activity” and from arresting or detaining such persons “in retaliation” absent probable cause or reasonable suspicion that the person committed a crime or interfered with covered officers. The court also barred the retaliatory use of pepper spray or similar tools against peaceful, unobstructive protesters and observers.

The ruling further restricts vehicle stops in the context of protests, holding that the “act of safely following” federal agents “at an appropriate distance” does not, by itself, provide reasonable suspicion to justify a stop. The order requires defendants to disseminate the injunction broadly to covered agents by distributing it to all covered federal agents within 72 hours and to newly deployed agents who arrive in Minnesota to participate in the operation.

The plaintiffs sued Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem and senior officials from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and its Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) arm, alleging that the government’s “Operation Metro Surge” has produced “an unprecedented increase” in federal law enforcement presence in Minnesota. The plaintiffs also claimed that agents have responded to community observers with intimidation, force and detention. [MORE]

From [HERE] Several Native Americans have reportedly been swept up in Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota, where federal agents are accused of racially profiling immigrants and citizens alike in rapid, warrantless arrests.

Four members of the Oglala Sioux Tribe were arrested and detained last week, according to Tribe President Frank Star Comes Out. Three remain in federal detention, according to the Tribe.

At least one other Native American, a member of the Red Lake Nation, was arrested and briefly detained last week. Jose Roberto “Beto” Ramirez, 20, was forcibly removed from his aunt’s car and detained by masked officers in Robbinsdale, Minnesota, according to video of his arrest.

Officers pulled him from the passenger’s seat, slammed him on the hood of the car, handcuffed him and hauled him to a detention center, where he spent roughly 10 hours.

Native Americans are U.S. citizens, holding dual citizenship rights and responsibilities under both federal and tribal laws. But indigenous leaders fear federal officers surging into the greater Minneapolis area are unlawfully stopping, questioning and detaining Native Minnesotans on the basis of their skin color and names, or racially profiling Tribal members who officers believe are Latino immigrants.

“Native people have been here since time immemorial — there’s no one that has been a citizen of this country longer than us,” according to Minnesota’s Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, a member of White Earth Nation and the highest-ranking Indigenous woman in statewide elected office,

“The obvious racial profiling happening to our community is disgraceful,” she said this week. “My heart breaks to hear about what’s happening and it pisses me off.”

In a letter to Trump administration officials, the Oglala Sioux Tribe noted that the detention of tribal members is “unlawful and constitutes a direct violation of binding treaties, federal law, constitutional protections, and the United States' trust responsibility.”

Three tribal members are detained at a federal building in outskirts of Minneapolis, where scores of people arrested during the Minnesota surge are jailed, according to Star Comes Out. [MORE]

"The greatest purveyor of violence in the world today is my own Government."- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr

ARTILLERY ABOVE IS BY Kevin “Rashid” Johnson, a BLACK PANTHER AND AN undeceiveR.

As defined in FUNKTIONARY:

“authority” – (so-called)—a cartoon, an alleged image of the Law. 2) a cartoon clothed in flesh and blood. 3) the notion of an implied right and application of that “right” of individuals or groups of same to control or exercise external power over others, which has no meaning in reality. 4) power over…which is thoroughly institutionalized. 5) ruling through coercion. So-called “authority” is the justification for remaining impotent. The real threat to “authority” is the masses overcoming info-gaps and verigaps through self-knowledge and the proliferation of symbols of opposition, not crime or destruction of property. “Authority” is not a force but a farce! “Every great advancement in natural knowledge has involved the absolute rejection of authority.” ~ Aldous Huxley. Government is the hefty price we pay for our lack of being further evolved as humans. “The disappearance of a sense of responsibility is the most far-reaching consequence of submission to authority.” ~Stanley Milgram. Regarding obedience to authority and carrying out “orders” Milgram states, “Thus there is a fragmentation of the total human act; no one man decides to carry out the evil act and is confronted with consequences. The person who assumes full responsibility for the act has evaporated. Perhaps this is the most common characteristic of socially organized evil in modern society.” At its root, government is based on violence and coercion. Without violent authority, studies show that violent behavior will all but disappear in its wake. Authority breeds the violence that it combats and perpetuates. Violence perpetrated by individuals is learned through noxious social experiences typically suffered under some assumed “authority.” “The greatest purveyor of violence in the world today [is] my own government.” ~ Dr. Martin L. King, Jr., 1967. Read “Obedience to Authority” by Stanley Milgram, and “Constitution of No Authority” by Lysander Spooner. “They must find it hard to take Truth for authority those who have so long mistaken Authority for Truth.” ~ Gerald Massey. Authority is a sick joke we wait in line to get “punched” by—without getting the joke that it truly is one. (See: Violence, Government, Yurugu, BOG, “The Law,” Hierarchy, Obedience, Duty, Defiance, Disobedience, Compliance Priests, Preachers, Citizens, States, Involuntary Taxation, Tax Invasion, Behavior, Orders, Allegiance, Internal Revenue Service, Corporate State, Anarchy, Taxtortion, Power, Experts & Neuropeans)

“Government” – Latinized Greek (“Gubernatio” = control; and from the Latin “mente” = mind; “The control of the mind.” 2) an abstraction (hoax) created for the sole purpose of making theft respectable and mind-control acceptable. 3) the societal manifestation of mass individual psychological reversal, i.e., the statutes, regulations, agencies, and agents (so-called bureaucrats) needed to threaten and shrink one’s comfort zone. 4) a granfalloon. 5) a fiction supported by those who kill on command and steal on demand under the guise of “protecting” their victims. Government is lawlessness (monopolized violence) mindlessly respected and accepted as law (open threats); politics is the way to enable and circumvent the law. The outworking of history consistently demonstrates that government will, in spite of the Bill of Rights, arrogate all power to itself eventually, if the people don’t act to prevent it. You have rights alright, just don’t get caught exercising them, O.K.? “Government” is simply, unequivocally, and always initiation of force or coercion and nothing else. Official “government” is disorganized, politicized; centralized; canonized and revered initiation of force, but it is no less initiation of force and coercion than any unofficial singular action of the same offensive or violent content. “Government” is an abstract infinite entity acting as a possessive noun. There is not a single line in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, or any governmental document that states that a natural person will be left alone as long as she or he does not impose upon another or others. By commission and omission, all official decrees make clear that a human is regarded as owned property or resource of the god called “Corporate State.” It is controlling the lives, energy and property of others that requires coercive force and this is its sole function. Endorsing the lie of an imagined abstract collective interest supports the very concept that gives rise to all covert and overt oppression. “The government never of itself furthered any enterprise, but by the alacrity with which it got out of the way. It does not keep the country free. The character inherent in the American people has done all that has been accomplished; and it would have done somewhat more, if the government had not sometimes got in its way.” ~Kirkpatrick Sale. The wayward notion that government redistributes wealth is widely held as sacrosanct as it is patently false. There are redistributes aspects, sure, but that’s as close as it gets. “As long as government is allowed to exist, it will everywhere keep growing and getting worse. Nearly everything that “governments” do (i.e., those with wholly symbolic roles “running” it, and who perform acts in its name) is grounded in fear. Government will cease to exist when people cease to grant it legitimacy—in other words stop believing in it, stop looking to it for solutions to problems in their lives, and stop supporting it.” ~Fred Woolworth. Government has failed at every attempt in 6,000 years of recorded history. Government atrocities—carried out by irrational functionaries, economic hit men, soldiers, diplomats, emissaries, etc., under every possible flavor or form of government—have littered the bloody pages of recorded history. Government is indisputably the greatest purveyor of murder, mayhem, genocide, exploitation, rape, forced starvation, pillage and chaos in the annals of humanity. Government does not need to be abolished; merely rendered obsolete through seeing it for what it truly is—a prime manufacturer of poverty, brutal oppression, violence, coercion, conformity and fear. The monetary genius E.C. Riegel once wrote that petitioning to government is like writing to Santa Claus. Government has created its own necessity by making people (its fictitious subject-citizens) fearful of the violence it creates by the effects of its very existence—in the form of violent criminals and external aggressors. “Government is men and women providing services on a compulsory basis; pay or get shot. To be legitimate they would have to drop their guns and provide their services on a voluntary basis. However, the moment they do so, they cease to be a government. That’s quite the conundrum.” ~Marc Stevens. Government is at the root of the cycle of violence—you run to it for protection and run from it out of fear for your life. The Slaughterhouse is to cattle as “government” is to people. “Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem.” –U.S. “President” Ronald ‘McDonald’ Reagan. “The only idea they have ever manifested as to what is a government of consent, is this—that it is one to which everybody must consent, or be shot.” ~ No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority, Lysander Spooner. Men and women calling themselves “government” violently impose themselves on victims labeled “citizens,” and “ordain” scriptures called “laws” that define the way “government” sanctions business as a crime by providing services over the barrel of a gun. What exactly is “government?” Have you ever seen a “government?” While there are varying degrees, “government” very simply is “one man violently controlling the life and property of another man.” In some places this violent control is “decreed” to be for the latter’s “own good” and “protection” and hailed as the “best system in the world.” Because it’s based on violence, there are no “states” or “nations,” “states” being “voluntary associations.” You may recognize that violent control over a man’s life and property is what we like to call—slavery. Slavery is a form of “government,” and in most cases, if not all, synonymous with “government.” Govern means control, not protect. Have you ever noticed the word “protect” is mysteriously not included in any definitions of govern? “govern.” To direct and control; to regulate; to influence; to restrain; to manage. State v. Ream, 16 Neb 681, 683.” ~Ballentine’s Law Dictionary, page 530. Just as there are no legitimate governments (power, jurisdiction and control over), there is no political “money” or currency (token) that isn’t counterfeit (by its very nature). With government (“stationary bandits”), the final assessment is always: “Fear for your life and pay tribute to the overrulers or else.” For subjugated people, given the choice of losing your wealth or your life, most choose to sacrifice their wealth in the form of exactions, i.e., tribute-cum-taxation. Whatever governments have, they must take by force or stealth or as conquerors in war. The operatives of government must draw their revenues out of the properties, capital goods and values created by and through the golden-rule relationships of men, and since there is no automatic ceiling on their power to seize, the sovereign powers have always, sooner or later, destroyed the wealth and freedom of the world and thus themselves succumb to their predictable and inevitable demise. Government everywhere fastens itself on the backs of its victims. Rulers sustain their predation at the reluctant and fearful consent of the victim (garnering faux legitimacy)—a direct vestige of the Divine rights of kings trickbag.

[Pretending Robbery, Involuntary Rule and Kidnapping in Venezuela is Liberation] Massa Media is Doing what Its Told: Minimize and Conceal the Criminal Aggression of the US

/

From [HERE] The Western media are doing what they usually do: minimizing and covering up the criminal aggression of the United States.

Trump’s blatantly illegal military attack on Venezuela, the kidnapping of its president, the murder of foreign nationals, and theft of the country’s vast oil resources are not being called out for the litany of grave crimes that such actions constitute. The aggression that the U.S. has carried out is the Nuremberg standard of “supreme crime”.

Yet the U.S. and European corporate-controlled news media fail to report or comment on all this. Britain’s BBC has banned its journalists from using the word “kidnap”.

Instead of a forthright condemnation of Trump’s multiple violations of the UN Charter and international law, the Western media have sought to distract with spurious smearing of Russia and China.

The New York Times, the US so-called paper of record, claimed: “President Trump’s audacious nighttime raid in Venezuela sent a message: If you’re strong enough, you can attack a country, topple its leader and perhaps get access to the resources you’re after. The leaders of China and Russia, who have long shared a vision that divides the world into spheres of influence dominated by major powers, will be drawing their own conclusions.”

How’s that for diversion of public attention? The United States has just committed war crimes and brought the whole international order into disrepute in the most flagrant way, and yet the New York Times endeavors to focus concern on what Russia and China might allegedly do.

The Daily Beast and the Guardian both used the line, “the Putinization of US foreign policy.”

They claim that Trump is now “emulating” Russian President Vladimir Putin.

These Western media outlets are trying to minimize U.S. criminality by making a false equivalence with Russia and China.

So, it is postulated, Trump is repeating what Russia’s Putin has done in Ukraine, while China’s leader, Xi Jinping, is now going to follow through with an invasion of Taiwan.

The Western media distortion is contradicted by Moscow and Beijing, vehemently condemning U.S. aggression towards Venezuela and the violation of the UN Charter.

The only person Trump is emulating is every previous U.S. president. All of them have repeatedly invaded countries in Latin America and all around the world to overthrow governments and steal natural resources.

The criminal record of the United States is incomparable with that of any other nation. Since the Second World War alone, the U.S. has launched regime-change operations in as many as 100 foreign nations and waged countless illegal wars and proxy conflicts on every continent.

During the past eight decades of this “American exceptionalism” of mayhem and barbarism, the Western media have covered up the criminality by peddling pretexts such as the Cold War, defending the free world from communism, protecting human rights, promoting democracy, eliminating weapons of mass destruction, and so on.

New Reforms Don’t Disturb the Official Klanarchy Running NY Prisons: Rule by Racists Enabled Gangs of White Cops to Savagely Beat and Murder Robert Brooks and Messiah Nantwi at Separate Prisons

/

ACCORDING TO FUNKTIONARY:

reform – superficial change in form and formalities (fictitious change) which only further lubricates the status quo by renovating and painting old society in new colors. 2) appearance of change sans the change. Reform is always in the service of the status quo and the politician: it serves the privilege of the past not the promise of the future. Reform creates hypocrisy as a matter of course. Reform is the first stage in the three “R’s” in hue-man evolution; the other two being revolution and rebellion. There are two basic types of reformists: those who are preparing the ground for Third Eye revolution and those who are trying to prevent the conscious revolution. (See: Revolution, Status Quo, Meme & Change) reformers – naïve politicians. They came to do good and stayed to do well. Reformers themselves get reformed into the structure, consciousness and content of the dominant exploitative system—and thus become the system. (See: Revolution)

Klanarchy – rule by the Klan. Klanarchy was practiced at its zenith in the southern states between 1910 and 1955; characterized by such vigilantism as murders, beatings, lynchings, tar-and-feathering, bombing and maiming almost exclusively people of Afrikan descent, and to much lesser extents Catholics and “Jews.” The TRUMP Klan currently ruleS.

[AREN’T NY PRISONS CONTROLLED BY ELITE LIBERALS?] From [HERE] A sweeping prison reform bill aimed at improving safety, accountability, and transparency in New York’s correctional facilities was signed into law Friday following the murders of incarcerated individuals Robert Brooks and Messiah Nantwi by corrections officers.

The killings prompted widespread outrage and renewed calls for systemic reforms across the state’s prisons and jails.

The legislation codifies expanded use of body-worn and fixed cameras in all facilities and transport vehicles, requires rapid disclosure of video evidence to investigators, incarcerated individuals, and their attorneys, and strengthens reporting requirements when deaths occur.

Video related to deaths must now be provided to the Office of the Attorney General within 72 hours, or within 24 hours if discovered belatedly. Next of kin must be notified online within 48 hours, and autopsy reports must include photographs and x-rays.

The new law mandates continuous 24-hour video surveillance in all areas where guards interact with incarcerated people, including infirmaries and all prison vehicles. The law requires prisons to eliminate all camera “blind spots” except toilets, showers and inside cells. [MORE]

The bill also enhances oversight by increasing the number of members on the State Commission of Correction from three to five, including at least one formerly incarcerated person, and mandates a study of deaths in state facilities over the past decade. Incarcerated individuals will have greater access to the Correctional Association of New York, and former inmates will have a post-release window to file claims for harms suffered while in custody.

Many of the reforms are already underway. Body-worn cameras are now fully deployed statewide, fixed-camera projects are prioritized at Marcy and Mid-State correctional facilities, and the Office of Special Investigations has expanded staffing to boost investigative capacity.

Unprovoked Violence by Slave Patrol was Lawful but Immoral. Strawboss Sheriff and Racist Suspect DA Clear Cops who Arrested William McNeil; Stopped for Driving While Black w/o Lights On During the Day

/

From [HERE] A white police officer with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office was reprimanded for failing to report that he punched a Black college student in the face during a traffic stop, but he was cleared of using unnecessary force.

Will McNeil Jr. was punched and dragged from his car in February in an episode that attracted national attention. A video shows sheriff's deputies beating and punching McNeil during a traffic stop after he repeatedly questioned why he was being pulled over and refused to exit his vehicle in an incident that occurred on Feb. 19, 2025.

The white State Attorney’s Office in Duval County ruled earlier that Officer Donald Bowers acted lawfully and that no criminal charges would be filed against him. The sheriff’s office then completed an internal affairs investigation to determine whether agency rules were violated.

That results of the investigation, released Friday, state that Bowers was exonerated for his use of force. But he was reprimanded because he did not mention in his report that he struck McNeal.

Bowers was stripped of his law enforcement duties during the internal investigation, but they have since been restored.

McNeil was pulled over just after 4:15 p.m. Feb. 19 because his vehicle “did not have its headlights or tail lights illuminated in inclement weather.” The booking report said the driver was not wearing a seat belt. Yet, on video McNeil is shown wearing a seat belt. Also, it is clearly not raining or dark outside.

In the video, he tells the officer it’s not raining. The officer acknowledges that it is not raining and responds “it doesn’t matter” and that the driver is still required to have headlights turned on (during the day).

McNeil asks the officer to show him that law, which the officer says he will do “when you step out of the car,” the report said. McNeil asks for a supervisor, and a voice is heard saying, “All right, go for it” as his window is smashed out.

In the video, McNeil is told to “exit the vehicle now,” then gets punched by an officer. Another officer demands McNeil get out, followed by another punch to his face.

In the video, McNeil holds up both hands and waits for the door to be opened. He is pulled out, grabbed by his head and hair and shoved down, and an officer punches McNeil in the face again.

McNeil hired civil rights attorney Ben Crump to file a lawsuit against the police department

In ruling the officer’s actions lawful, State Attorney Melissa Nelson said McNeil created a dangerous situation by refusing to follow officers’ instructions.

BELIEF IN AUTHORITY IS THE PROBLEM. Nothing can ever change with regard to police brutality or the police murders of Black people so long as police possess the power to use force offensively on “citizens.” Petitioning puppeticians to defund or lower police department budgets or even “reforming the law on police use of deadly force” to make an officer’s claim of justifiable force the same as a civilian-defendant's claim of self-defense, would still have minimal effect on the extraordinary police power to use force offensively on citizens.

Political “authority” is the idea that government and its representatives have the legal and moral right to forcibly control people, and that, consequently, people have the moral and legal obligation to obey.’ In short, authority is the right to command and correlatively the right to be obeyed. It is the implied right to rule people. As representatives of authority, police officers are empowered to use force offensively to enforce laws against citizens who are correspondingly legally and morally obliged to obey authority on a content neutral basis (whether they agree or not).

Although we all know that an unwanted offensive touching by another person is wrong and that physical force used offensively on people against their will is immoral and evil, nevertheless, when such conduct is done by government agents they are exempt from rules of morality and legality due to the concept of “political authority.” As Michael Huemer explained, “acts that would be considered unjust or morally unacceptable when performed by non-governmental agents will often be considered perfectly all right, even praiseworthy, when performed by government agents” because they are believed to possess “authority.” Authority is the hypothesized moral property that 1) enables governments to use physical coercion (here meaning violence) in ways not permitted by citizens and 2) legally obliges citizens to obey government agents, rules and orders under the threat of physical harm (coercion). Where a government legitimately has “authority” it thus has the implied right to rule over people in a particular place or jurisdiction.

To be clear, all persons have the natural, inalienable right to defend themselves and come to the defense of others if they believe another person is in imminent danger from an aggressor. Private security guards work under this natural law of self-defense. In contrast though, police officers and other representatives of authority have the additional “power” to act offensively as aggressors - to initiate unprovoked acts of violence against people whenever they deem it necessary to enforce law. As such, police are permitted to engage in conduct that “citizens” can never lawfully do, such as; stop individuals, touch them against their will, attack (make arrests) people, kill people, interfere with their freedoms in many ways (search interrogate, order etc), kidnap people (that is, ‘detain and transport’) or imprison them because higher authorities have empowered them to do so. [MORE]

Pervasive, arbitrary stops function to “niggerize,” degrade humanity and humiliate Blacks in public, rendering them “unsafe, unprotected, subjected and subjugated to random violence” by government authority. The undeceiver Jeremy Locke points out that “slavery is not a concept of totality . . . The ultimate slavery is murder . . . Slavery is found both in the partial and complete destruction of freedom.” Prolific stops by cops everywhere a large number of Black people reside, inhibit their freedom of movement and function as a tool to keep Blacks confined to a physical, social and symbolic space. Thus, elites use arbitrary stops to help dominate Black people and control their movements by force. Such stops are a form of slavery. The result is a 2nd class “citizenship” for Blacks. Legal scholar Charles Epps observes, “police stops convey powerful messages about citizenship and equality. Across millions of stops, these experiences are translated into common stories about who is an equal member of a rule-governed society and who is subjected to arbitrary surveillance and inquiry.” FUNKTIONARY makes it plain, “People who are awake see cops as mercenary security guards that remind us daily, through acts of force, that we are simultaneously both enemies and slaves of the Corporate State”

‘Worldwide Increase in Cancer is No Surprise.’ Comprehensive Study Finds “Smoking Gun” Evidence COVID Injections Trigger Cancers

/

From [HERE] A systematic review of 69 studies and reports on COVID-19 and cancer identified a possible safety signal linking COVID-19 vaccines and SARS-CoV-2 to certain types of cancer.

The study identified safety signals for leukemia, lymphoma, breast and lung cancer. The authors of the paper, published last week in the journal Oncotarget, said their findings suggest the need for further research.

The paper identified mechanisms — including the spike protein and DNA contamination found in some COVID-19 vaccine types — that might be responsible for triggering cancer.

The authors also addressed “several recurrent themes” in the studies they examined:

  • The “unusually rapid progression, recurrence, or reactivation” of preexisting conditions.

  • The “atypical” appearance of cancers near the point of vaccination.

  • The reactivation of dormant tumors.

Wafik El-Deiry, M.D., Ph.D., one of the co-authors, told The Defender that the paper “is the first most comprehensive presentation summarizing the world‘s literature on the subject matter of COVID vaccines, COVID infection and cancer.”

He said some of the review’s findings “look like a smoking gun” linking COVID-19 shots to cancer.

Karl Jablonowski, Ph.D., senior research scientist for Children’s Health Defense, said the review’s findings may represent “the tip of a very damaging iceberg.”

“It is not remotely surprising that a gene-therapy rebranded as a vaccine, never tested for oncogenic safety, with severe immune dysregulating effects, injected into a billion people would correlate with an increased risk of cancers worldwide,” Jablonowski said.

El-Deiry said the review may provide insights into rising cancer rates in recent years, including an increase in so-called “turbo cancers.”

“I believe there is a risk of cancer associated with COVID vaccination,” El-Deiry said. “The magnitude of the risk remains to be more precisely defined, including the risk of hyperprogression.” Hyperprogression refers to cases where “a pre-existing tumor grows more aggressively.”

“The paper doesn’t say that COVID vaccines cause cancer, but it does argue that when the same pattern of aggressive cancer keeps appearing across different cancers and different countries, they can no longer be brushed aside,” investigative journalist Maryanne Demasi, Ph.D., said in a video posted Monday on Substack.

Review found link between COVID vaccines, aggressive onset of cancer

According to the review, a “growing number of peer-reviewed publications” have reported the appearance of diverse cancer types following COVID-19 vaccination or infection.

The time between vaccination and the onset of cancers “varied substantially,” according to the review, ranging from within 2-4 weeks to 8 months or more after vaccination or administration of a booster dose.

The authors said they conducted the review because the COVID-19 vaccines were never evaluated for carcinogenicity or genotoxicity.

They reviewed studies conducted between January 2020 and October 2025. About 43% of the studies “reported lymphoid malignancies, encompassing both lymphomas and leukemias.”

Several studies emphasized “unexpectedly rapid progression, atypical presentations, or unusually aggressive courses of disease.”

Forty-one percent of the studies identified a link between the COVID-19 vaccines and solid tumors, including melanoma, breast cancer, lung cancer, sarcomas and “organ-specific carcinomas, such as pancreatic cancer.”

Several studies “described unusually rapid onset, short-latency recurrence, or aggressive clinical progression” for these tumor types. Some of the studies “described tumor formation or recurrence at or near vaccine injection sites.”

The review cited several recent large-scale studies, including a two-year study of 8.4 million South Koreans published last year.

The South Korean study found a statistically significant link between COVID-19 vaccines and six cancer types, including breast, colorectal, gastric, lung, prostate and thyroid cancers, and a 27% higher overall cancer risk.

The review also cited a 2025 study of nearly 300,000 Italians that found cancer hospitalizations were moderately higher among COVID-19 vaccine recipients, with a particularly increased risk of bladder, breast and colorectal cancer.

The authors also cited a U.S. Armed Forces Health Surveillance Division report tracking non-Hodgkin lymphoma incidence among active-duty service members between 2017 and 2023. The report found a significant increase in some lymphomas in 2021, the year COVID-19 shots became widely available.

The authors said their findings “underscore the need for rigorous epidemiologic, longitudinal, clinical, histopathological, forensic, and mechanistic studies to assess whether and under what conditions COVID-19 vaccination or infection may be linked with cancer.”

Amazon Censors Respected 2nd Amendment Author by Refusing to Sell His Books

/

From [HERE] A respected, self-published Second Amendment author reports that Amazon no longer allows new copies of his books to be sold, only used ones, directly denying him to be compensated for his work.

“Note that Amazon has shut down new copy sales of The Origin of the Second Amendment and The Founders’ View of the Right to Bear Arms by limiting access to my publishing storefront, Golden Oak Books,” David E. Young informed his readers on his On Second Opinion blog in December. Any links to Amazon on this page or on my web page, secondamendmentinfo.com, or elsewhere will no longer show sales of new copies from the publisher (these are self-published books). Only used copies are available from Amazon or elsewhere.”

Young includes links to both, and they both only allow customers to “Buy Used.”

That should be of concern to all gun owners who believe in the value of authentic Second Amendment scholarship. As noted in an interview this correspondent conducted with Mr. Young in 2008, “Origin contains relevant material literally transcribed from newspaper articles, editorials, broadsides, pamphlets, speeches, proceedings, and amendment proposals that directly or indirectly relate to the Second Amendment and its adoption as part of the U.S. Bill of Rights,” and “The Founders’ View traces … the most relevant American characters, comments, actions, and resolutions that resulted in development and adoption of the Second Amendment as part of the Bill of Rights.”

The Second Amendment community is not the only one that values Young’s work. The legal community, from the very top, also views it as authoritative [MORE]

Philip Giraldi: What Does Venezuela Have to Do with Israel?

/

From [HERE ]It is interesting to observe how United States foreign policy, such as it is, often appears to have an Israeli back story that explains at least in part how Donald Trump’s mindless aggression against much of the world is driven by Zionist imperatives rather than actual American interests. Ukraine is supported by Israel and the US Israel Lobby in part because the roots of many diaspora and Israeli Jews are “Kazarian,” i.e. they derive from that part of Eastern Europe. Plus, Ukraine’s acting head of state Volodymyr Zelensky is a Jew whose mother and father reportedly live in Israel in a posh residence paid for by the money stolen by their son from US and European donations to Kiev to fight Russia. Also, the Jewish antipathy towards Moscow in large part derives from the belief that Imperial Russia was the source of many pogroms in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. That narrative fails, however, to mention how Russian Jews turned Bolshevik and, becoming enforcers of the Communist Revolution, subsequently got their revenge a hundred-fold on Russian and other Eastern European Christians.

And, of course, it has been frequently observed how US policy in the Middle East is essentially dictated by war criminal Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who de facto controls both Trump and the US Congress. The Israel Lobby also has significant input into what goes on in state and local government levels and has considerable control over what appears in the national media, which they increasingly own thanks to the efforts of Jewish billionaires like Larry Ellison. This ability to use money to manipulate politics and government has been manifested in the ability to suppress free speech in the United States when the topic is Israel’s abhorrent behavior towards the Palestinians and its other neighbors. Criminalizing antisemitism, which includes any criticism of Israel, has become the crime du jour to silence opposition to pro-Zionist agendas at both federal and state level and it has also been used to eliminate Palestinian support at universities and in the job market. Beyond that, the US State Department is now demanding access to the social media of visa applicants so that those who are supporters of the Palestinian cause can be blocked from entry into the United States. This is what Jewish power in America is all about.

It is interesting to note the somewhat unexpected Israeli and Jewish hand in recent US aggression directed particularly against Venezuela. There are several main reasons for the Venezuela hit. Caracas developed a close relationship with Iran through its negotiations over BRICS and has unambiguously sided with Palestine in denouncing the Zionist war crimes and crimes against humanity. This clearly was impressed upon Donald Trump and his consiglieri by the Israelis and members of the Israeli Lobby like Miriam Adelson and Laura Loomer who have full access to the president and who no doubt were able to convince the Orangeman that he would be able to benefit by striking against an ally of a common enemy of the US and Israel with one fell swoop.

Patrick Lawrence: An Abyss of Lawlessness

/

From [HERE] It is a long time now since the paying-attention among us began speaking of the fundamental lawlessness of our time.

It was the Israelis who prompted this discourse, as readers will easily recall, by way of their daily barbarities against the Palestinians of Gaza after the events of Oct. 7, 2023.

The Western powers compounded the shock of all that real-time savagery as they supported the Zionist terror machine — militarily, materially, politically, legally, diplomatically.

Alon Mizrahi, the Arab Jew who left Israel in protest three autumns ago, afterward made the point severally in The Mizrahi Perspective, his Substack newsletter:

This is what comes when a people are told that however atrocious their conduct toward others, however great their crimes, there will never be any consequence. Totalized impunity: In two words, this was Mizrahi’s preoccupation.

As 2025 drew mercifully to a close, I sat to share some observations concerning law and its perversion or absence or opposite — American law, European law, international law — with the Zionist regime much in mind.

The world’s most lawless state had just de-recognized the U.N. Relief and Works Agency, which bears primary responsibility for the welfare of Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, and Jordan, so stripping UNRWA of diplomatic immunity while sequestering its finances, blocking its supplies of electricity and water, and seizing its offices in East Jerusalem.

The Israelis also barred 37 aid organizations from the Gaza Strip, including — some big names here—the French, Belgian, and Spanish affiliates of Médecins sans Frontières, Mercy Corps, the International Rescue Committee.

As John Whitbeck, the tireless Parisian blogger, put it in response, “Israel’s finding a new way, virtually every day, to flaunt its contempt for the United Nations, international law, and human decency.”

With the move against UNRWA, it is indeed clear the Israelis intend to destroy the U.N. and all it stands for as completely as the world lets it. And so to a second source of outrage:  It looks so far as if the world is going to let it.

Now the Trump regime, with its invasion of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela on Jan. 3, its abduction of President Nicolás Maduro, and its plans to occupy the nation and appropriate its petroleum reserves, has cast aside all thought of law, American and international alike.

It is as if Israel’s crimes-without-consequence these past two and some years (counting conservatively) were a kind of prelude — as if they had cleared the ground in some transformative way, an announcement that the law of our time is at bottom the lawlessness of those in power.

Questions arise. Two. [MORE]

There was No Probable Cause to Arrest Natalie Good for a Federal Offense, so there is No Immunity. Failure to Prosecute the Murder of a White Woman Will Embolden ICE to Believe They Can Murder Anyone

/

WILL DUMBOCRAT AUTHORITIES DO ANYTHING OR JUST COMPLAIN ABOUT IT ON TV? DR. BLYND EXPLAINS,  “Don’t complain about what you’re willing to permit.” FUNKTIONARY STATES:

Cop Mantra – “Stop resisting arrest, stop resisting arrest, stop resisting arrest.” A pretense and precursor to murder. Everything cops say or do (including life-ending, life-wrecking abuses and/or rage-inducing bullying they routinely inflict on innocent people with impunity) needs to be looked at with extreme suspicion. Cops (patrolling predators) not only need to wear body-cameras, but they also need to be under surveillance 24/7. “If one million cobras were set loose on our city streets, wouldn’t you think it proper to know where each one was and what it was doing all the time?” ~Fred Woodworth.

No Supremacy Clause Immunity. Due to the facts that; ICE cops did not have probable cause to believe that Natalie Good committed a federal offense and that ICE cops have no authority to enforce traffic or local laws in Minnesota, the ICE cop who fatally shot her should not have Supremacy Clause immunity for his actions.

Under Supremacy Clause immunity a federal official cannot be made “to answer for an act which he was authorized to do by the law of the United States, which it was his duty to [do as a federal officer], and if in doing that act he did no more than what was necessary and proper for him to do, he cannot be guilty of a crime under the law of” any state.” For the defense to apply 2 things are required: 1) the action which forms the basis of the state prosecution must have been within the scope of the federal officer's authority and 2) whether the federal officer's actions, now the basis of a state-court indictment, were “necessary and proper to the execution of his responsibilities.”

It is undisputed that ICE cops have no authority to enforce traffic violations or local criminal laws in Minnesota.

In this case, on 1/7/26 Natalie Good's Honda Pilot SUV was stopped sideways leftward on Portland Avenue about a half block from a school where ICE was posted up surveilling parents and kids. She was blocking one lane of travel on said one way street that has two lanes of travel. Traffic moved around her car in the other lane. Good repeatedly honked her horn. Video shows ICE agents approached her car and witnesses claim they shouted contradictory orders at her to leave and to get out of the car. Good reportedly complied with the order to leave the area as she waved an approaching ICE vehicle to pass by. On video no ICE cops were blocked. Then two agents approached her vehicle. One agent grabbed her car’s door handle while he ordered her to "get the fuck out the car." As the agent grabbed the car door Good put the car in reverse to flee the scene. Meanwhile, when the 2 cops arrived, on video agent Ross is seen walking around the back of her car and then to the passenger side of her car. As Good put the car in reverse Ross moved to the front drivers side of the car but stood at a distance of about 10 feet away - apparently to block her exit. Videos show the car’s wheels turning to the right and Good moving the steering wheel to the right to turn right, avoid Ross (who was in front at a  distance) and flee the scene. As the car moved forward Ross stepped to the side and shot Good once through the windshield and twice through the drivers side window. A frame by frame analysis by Washpost appears to show Ross fired all three shots from the side of the vehicle as it veered past him. Federal authorities have refused to release the body-camera footage of the incident.

Good was not under arrest for any federal offense when ICE cops ordered her to get out of the car and pulled on her door handle to physically remove her from the car. Although there was probable cause to believe that Good violated a Minnesota traffic law by blocking a lane of travel and probable cause to believe she violated the disorderly conduct statute, ICE has no authority to enforce such laws. Thus, attempting to stop and arrest Ms. Good for local law violations was beyond the scope of the federal officers’ authority and consequently was also not “necessary and proper to the execution of his responsibilities,” which are only federal. ICE was not enforcing federal law or carrying out federal duties when it interacted with her. As such, Supremacy Clause immunity should not apply. 

Although, the government has claimed Good interfered with or stalked ICE cops there appear to be no facts to support the claims. She made noise with her car horn and blocked a lane in the street, so ICE should have called the local police to deal with the traffic violations. 

No Qualified Immunity. Also, the ICE cop is not entitled to qualified immunity because it was not 'reasonably arguable’ that there was probable cause for arrest for any federal offense. 

An officer who makes an arrest without probable cause, however, may still be entitled to qualified immunity if he reasonably believed there to have been probable cause. See Ramirez v. City of Buena Park, 560 F.3d 1012, 1024 (9th Cir.2009). In this case, Officer Ross was apparently not aware of any specific facts that Ms. Good had committed a federal offense. As such, it is not reasonably arguable that probable cause for a federal offense existed. Therefore, Ross should not be entitled to qualified immunity. 

Prosecution Under State Law. Minnesota can prosecute Officer Ross under state law and if so the Minnesota use of Force statute (Minn.Stat. § 609.066) might be applicable to his defense.

As explained by police law legal scholar, Cynthia Lee [MORE], police use of force in the United States is primarily governed by two lines of authority: (1) Supreme Court decisions on what counts as excessive force under the Fourth Amendment in civil rights lawsuits brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983,36 and (2) state use of force statutes, which specify the requirements for a law enforcement officer’s claim of justifiable force in a state criminal prosecution. Although there are many parallels between these two lines of authority, they are not one and the same. Supreme Court decisions control in § 1983 civil rights actions involving claims that law enforcement officers used excessive force. State use of force statutes control in state criminal prosecutions of law enforcement officers charged with murder, manslaughter, or any other crime of violence who claim justifiable force. An officer’s claim of justifiable force in a state criminal law prosecution is much like a civilian-defendant’s claim of self-defense except state use of force statutes that outline the requirements for the law enforcement defense are generally more forgiving of police officers than self-defense statutes are of civilians. 

Most people assume that Supreme Court case law on police use of force controls in state criminal prosecutions of law enforcement officers. Although a state that does not have a use of force statute may follow Supreme Court case law on police use of force, in the vast majority of states that have enacted statutes on police use of force, the use of force statute—enacted by the state legislature—is what controls in a state criminal law prosecution of a law enforcement officer who claims their use of force was justified. While there may be overlap between the two lines of authority, state use of force statutes can and, in many respects, do diverge from Supreme Court case law. Contrary to common belief, state use of force statutes that appear to contradict the holdings of Supreme Court case law on excessive force in the § 1983 context are not unconstitutional by virtue of the fact that they diverge from Supreme Court case law.

WHAT CRIME WAS MS. GOOD UNDER ARREST FOR WHEN ICE RACE SOLDIERS PULLED ON HER CAR DOOR TO REMOVE HER FROM HER CAR, ORDERED HER TO “GET THE FUCK OUT” AND MOVED IN FRONT OF HER CAR TO STOP HER from leaving??”

Minn.Stat. § 609.066 states: 

609.066 AUTHORIZED USE OF DEADLY FORCE BY PEACE OFFICERS.

Subdivision 1.Deadly force defined.

For the purposes of this section, "deadly force" means force which the actor uses with the purpose of causing, or which the actor should reasonably know creates a substantial risk of causing, death or great bodily harm. The intentional discharge of a firearm, other than a firearm loaded with less lethal munitions and used by a peace officer within the scope of official duties, in the direction of another person, or at a vehicle in which another person is believed to be, constitutes deadly force. "Less lethal munitions" means projectiles which are designed to stun, temporarily incapacitate, or cause temporary discomfort to a person. "Peace officer" has the meaning given in section 626.84, subdivision 1.

Subd. 1a.Legislative intent.

  The legislature hereby finds and declares the following:

(1) that the authority to use deadly force, conferred on peace officers by this section, is a critical responsibility that shall be exercised judiciously and with respect for human rights and dignity and for the sanctity of every human life. The legislature further finds and declares that every person has a right to be free from excessive use of force by officers acting under color of law;

(2) as set forth below, it is the intent of the legislature that peace officers use deadly force only when necessary in defense of human life or to prevent great bodily harm. In determining whether deadly force is necessary, officers shall evaluate each situation in light of the particular circumstances of each case;

(3) that the decision by a peace officer to use deadly force shall be evaluated from the perspective of a reasonable officer in the same situation, based on the totality of the circumstances known to or perceived by the officer at the time, rather than with the benefit of hindsight, and that the totality of the circumstances shall account for occasions when officers may be forced to make quick judgments about using deadly force; and

(4) that peace officers should exercise special care when interacting with individuals with known physical, mental health, developmental, or intellectual disabilities as an individual's disability may affect the individual's ability to understand or comply with commands from peace officers.

Subd. 2 .Use of deadly force.

(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 609.06 or 609.065, the use of deadly force by a peace officer in the line of duty is justified only if an objectively reasonable officer would believe, based on the totality of the circumstances known to the officer at the time and without the benefit of hindsight, that such force is necessary:

(1) to protect the peace officer or another from death or great bodily harm, provided that the threat:

(i) can be articulated with specificity;

(ii) is reasonably likely to occur absent action by the law enforcement officer; and

(iii) must be addressed through the use of deadly force without unreasonable delay; or

(2) to effect the arrest or capture, or prevent the escape, of a person whom the peace officer knows or has reasonable grounds to believe has committed or attempted to commit a felony and the officer reasonably believes that the person will cause death or great bodily harm to another person under the threat criteria in clause (1), items (i) to (iii), unless immediately apprehended.

(b) A peace officer shall not use deadly force against a person based on the danger the person poses to self if an objectively reasonable officer would believe, based on the totality of the circumstances known to the officer at the time and without the benefit of hindsight, that the person does not pose a threat of death or great bodily harm to the peace officer or to another under the threat criteria in paragraph (a), clause (1), items (i) to (iii).

Subd. 3. No defense.

 This section and sections 609.06, 609.065 and 629.33 may not be used as a defense in a civil action brought by an innocent third party.

Like JD Vance said; ‘Uncontrollable Unaccountable ICE Race Soldiers were Hunting Immigration Criminals who Drop Off Their Kids at School when Terrorist Renee Good Disturbed Their Peace w/a Car Horn’

/

From [HERE] When Vice President J.D. Vance told reporters at a press briefing Thursday that Jonathan Ross, the federal immigration agent who was filmed fatally shooting Renee Good in Minneapolis, has “absolute immunity,” he was not referring to any recognized statute in United States law, according to legal experts.

Instead, said Human Rights Campaign press secretary Brandon Wolf, “masked federal agents who can gun people down with ‘absolute immunity’ is called fascism.”

Vance addressed reporters at the White House the day after Good was fatally shot at close range while serving as a legal observer of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) surge of federal agents in Minneapolis, where the Trump administration is targeting members of the Somali community in particular.

Widely available footage taken by onlookers shows ICE agents including Ross approaching the car and, according to at least one witness, giving her conflicting instructions, with one ordering her to leave the area and another telling her to get out of the car.

The wheel of Good’s car was seen turning as she began to drive away, just before Ross fired his weapon at least three times.

President Donald Trump, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Vance immediately blamed Good for her death, saying she had committed an act of domestic terrorism and had tried to run Ross over with her car.

Vance doubled down on Thursday when a reporter asked him why state officials in Minnesota were being cut off from investigating Good’s death—a fact that has left the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, which had been planning to launch a probe, with few tools to bring a case to prosecutors.

The vice president said Minnesota prosecutors should instead investigate people who “are using their vehicles and other means” to interfere with ICE’s operations before claiming that Ross is protected from being held accountable for his actions.

“That guy’s protected by absolute immunity,” said Vance. “He was doing his job. The idea that [Minnesota Gov.] Tim Walz and a bunch of radicals in Minneapolis are going to go after him and make this guy’s life miserable because he was doing the job that he was asked to do is preposterous.”

Robert Bennett, a veteran lawyer in Minneapolis, told Mother Jones that he has worked on hundreds of cases regarding federal law enforcement misconduct.

“I’ve deposed thousands of police officers,” he said. “ICE agents do not have absolute immunity.”

He continued:

There’s plenty of case law that allows for the prosecution of federal law enforcement agencies, including ICE. And it’s clear under the law that a federal officer who shoots somebody in Minnesota and kills them is subject to a Minnesota investigation and Minnesota law.

Constitutional law expert Michael J.Z. Mannheimer of Northern Kentucky University told CNN that more than a century of legal precedent has shown that state prosecutors can file charges against federal officials for actions they take while completing their official duties.

“The idea that a federal agent has absolute immunity for crimes they commit on the job is absolutely ridiculous,” Mannheimer said.

Should the state take up the case, Ross could attempt to raise an immunity argument if he were able to move the case to a federal court, where a judge would then conduct a two-part analysis—determining whether Ross was acting in his official capacity and whether his action was “reasonable” considering all the facts on the ground, gathered from video evidence and eyewitness testimony.

While holding Ross accountable may be an uphill battle, former federal prosecutor Timothy Sini told CNN, “officers are not entitled to absolute immunity as a matter of law,” contrary to Vance’s claim. [MORE]

Israel Murders 5 Children in Surge of Attacks on Gaza “Safe Zone”

/

From [HERE] Eleven-year-old Hamsa Housou lay dead on a cold metal table at the morgue in Al-Shifa hospital. Blood covered her face and the upper part of her striped pajamas as one of her relatives gently wiped her mouth and cheek with a damp cloth, crying as he did so. She had been asleep in her bed early Thursday morning when she was fatally struck by Israeli gunfire. Her family’s home in Jabaliya, west of the so-called yellow line, is in an area designated as safe.

“We were sleeping, and suddenly, around 5 a.m., there were bangs—loud bangs and shells,” Hamsa’s uncle, Aouni Housou, said, standing over her small body. “I live upstairs, and there was screaming. We ran downstairs and they said the girl had been injured. We went to see her and she was covered in blood.” It took half an hour for an ambulance to arrive. When they finally reached the hospital, Hamsa had died.

The eleven-year-old was just one of as many as 14 Palestinians, including five children, killed in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours, according to an Al Jazeera toll. Since the so-called ceasefire went into effect on October 10, Israel has killed Palestinians in Gaza on an almost daily basis. The missile strikes, shootings, and shelling occur in areas both east of the yellow line, which Israeli troops are occupying as part of the initial agreement, and west of it, where the majority of Palestinians are crammed into less than half of Gaza’s territory. At least 425 Palestinians have been killed and over 1,200 wounded over the past three months of the “ceasefire”—a rate of nearly five Palestinians killed every day.

“Every night there is bombing, shooting, fire belts, robots. Every night. Shrapnel hits our home. What ceasefire? This ceasefire is just theater in front of the world. What caused them to kill her?” Housou said, pointing at his dead niece, unable to hold back the tears.

While much of the world’s attention has turned away from Gaza since the “ceasefire” took hold, the genocide has continued, with daily Israeli military attacks and heavy restrictions on life essentials, including medical supplies, food, building materials, and other items. [MORE]
