The Peace Plan To Screw The Palestinians.

 

  • Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza.

  • This committee will be made up of qualified Palestinians and international experts, with oversight and supervision by a new international transitional body, the “Board of Peace,” which will be headed and chaired by President Donald J. Trump, with other members and heads of State to be announced, including Former Prime Minister Tony Blair.

  • The portion highlighted tells us all you need to know about this agreement.  Donald Trump has two interests in this deal. One he wants to win the Nobel Peace Prize and second he views Gaza as land development deal for the Trump Organization. 

Postwar Gaza authority potentially led by Tony Blair ‘would sideline Palestinians’

Draft plan’s critics say it hands power to international figures and splits Gaza from Palestinian Authority in West Bank

A plan for a postwar Gaza governing authority potentially headed by the former UK prime minister Tony Blair would sideline key Palestinian political figures, while giving significant authority to its chair on most key issues, according to a leaked confidential proposal.

The 21-page draft document, seen by the Guardian and Haaretz in Israel, envisions the governance and reconstruction of postwar Gaza being led by international officials, with Palestinians relegated to subsidiary roles. It also proposes a Gaza investment promotion and economic development authority involving “public-private partnerships and blended finance instruments” aimed at delivering “commercially viable returns” for investors. 

The above means that the Gaza Strip will be an investment vehicle for Donald Trump and his cronies.

Former FBI Director James Comey indicted amid Trump push to prosecute foes

Former FBI director James B. Comey was indicted Thursday on allegations he lied to Congress, two people familiar with the matter said, following an extraordinary demand from President Donald Trump for the Justice Department to prosecute a man he has long considered a political foe.

The indictment by a federal grand jury in Alexandria charges Comey with one count of making false statements and one count of obstruction of Congress, said the people familiar with its contents, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the case.


Beyond freighting. This is what Vladimir Putin does to his supposed enemies in Russia. 

This What The Road To Authoritarian Rule looks Like

 

George Soros foundation hits back at Trump after report that DoJ plans to target group


New York Times reports justice department is pushing attorneys to investigate as Trump ramps up attack on rivals

The Open Society Foundations (OSF), the major philanthropic group funded by George Soros, has criticized the Trump administration for “politically motivated attacks on civil society” after a report that the justice department had instructed federal prosecutors to come up with plans to investigate the charity.

The New York Times reported on Thursday that a lawyer in the office of Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general, sent a memo to several federal prosecutors in attorney’s offices in California, New York, Washington DC, Chicago and Detroit, offering a range of charges to consider against the group. Those charges included racketeering, arson, wire fraud and material support for terrorism, the newspaper reported.

    
Here's an example of a government using the legal system to stifle dissent and sideline their political rivals.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey had the mayor of  Istanbul arrested on corruption charges in April of this year. Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu of the Republican People's Party was seen As Recep Tayyip Erdogan's main rival in next year's presidential election.  

Putin's Russia is notorious for using the legal system to silence its critics.

Ads about Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and websites providing information about using VPNs to circumvent online censorship are now banned and criminalised under a new law that took effect on 1 March 2024.

Western social media such as Facebook and tens of thousands of websites have been censored by the Russian government under the pretext of “protecting its digital space against external influences” since the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. But to the dismay of the authorities, this prompted a big increase in the use of VPNs.

Wealth tax would be deadly for French economy, says Europe’s richest man

 The French founder of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton said in a statement to the Sunday Times that calls for a 2% wealth tax on all assets “aims to destroy the liberal economy, the only one that works for the good of all”.

Bernard Arnault doesn't see the irony in the above quote.  When most of the world's wealth is held by a very small group of people how is that working for everyone?

This government censorship which one would find in several authoritarian governments around the world. Such as Hungry, Turkey, China and Russia.  America's government under Donald Trump is sliding towards authoritarian rule.

Charlie Kirk in his own words: ‘prowling Blacks’ and ‘the great replacement strategy’

 The far-right commentator didn’t pull his punches when discussing his bigoted views on current events


On race

If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, boy, I hope he’s qualified.

– The Charlie Kirk Show, 23 January 2024


On debate

We record all of it so that we put [it] on the internet so people can see these ideas collide. When people stop talking, that’s when you get violence. That’s when civil war happens, because you start to think the other side is so evil, and they lose their humanity.

– Kirk discussing his work in an undated clip that circulated on X after his killing.


On gender, feminism and reproductive rights

Reject feminism. Submit to your husband, Taylor. You’re not in charge.
