The holocaust was not the largest genocide or the worst genocide, but it is certainly the most weaponized genocide in history.
It was a unique genocide in that never in human history has the victim community of one genocide exploited and weaponized it to commit not just one - but a series of other genocides, of multiple communities who had nothing to do with the initial genocide. Imagine how evil you have to be to do that.

Austin Tucker Martin was shot and killed by Secret Service outside Mar-a-Lago. He was a Trump supporter who believed Trump's lies that he'd take down the Epstein network. The disillusioned young man tried to enter the club with a shotgun after becoming upset with Trump's ongoing Epstein cover-up.

People close to Martin describe him as well-meaning but increasingly frustrated, particularly about the economy. We're told he often complained that young people need two jobs or roommates to afford moving out. Our sources say he still lived with his parents.←

🇪🇺EU Ambassador to Sudan Wolfram Vetter said a wave of RSF attacks across Kordofan in early February amounted to “blatant and grave violations” of international humanitarian law. 

In South Kordofan, RSF shelling of Al-Kuweik Military Hospital on Feb. 5 killed at least 22 people, including four medical staff. 

In North Kordofan, RSF drones struck a WFP aid convoy on Feb. 6 between Er-Rahad and Um Rawaba, killing at least one person and destroying food supplies. 

On Feb. 7, an RSF drone hit a bus carrying displaced civilians near Rahad, killing at least 24 people, including eight children. 

Vetter said the attacks “will not go unpunished” and warned that “international accountability is forthcoming.”

🔴 Two Palestinians were killed and several others wounded on Jan. 2 in separate Israeli attacks in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza Strip, according to Ultra Palestine. The incidents occurred as Israeli forces continued their ongoing violations of the ceasefire, including gunfire, shelling, and the destruction of homes across the enclave.

Those killed were identified as Ahmed Hossam Zeidan Naeem, from Beit Hanoun, and Firas Ahmed Muhammad Abu Shanab, who was shot in Bani Suhaila, east of Khan Yunis. 

Israeli forces also reportedly opened fire inside a school-turned-shelter west of Khan Yunis, wounding multiple people. Heavy tank fire and artillery shelling were reported east of the city, while Israeli artillery also struck areas east of Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza.Post

🇸🇩 Since the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) retook Khartoum in March, forensic teams under Khartoum State authorities have exhumed more than 15,000 bodies, Le Monde reports in a long-form ground investigation from the capital.

Bodies are being reburied in formal cemeteries, often with bones removed for DNA testing in case families are still searching for missing relatives. Many of the dead remain unidentified. The process is expected to take months and underscores how the true death toll remains unknowable, the report finds, with some estimates suggesting more than 60,000 people may have died in Khartoum State alone during the early phase of the war, and the total deaths possibly exceeding 200,000.

The report also describes the Rapid Support Forces’ occupation of the capital, writing:

“In Khartoum, every lock has been broken. An entire capital stood by, powerless, as the heist of the century unfolded. To organize its methodical hold-up, the RSF first looted cars and banks. Then, sounding the fazaa – an appeal to war – a swarm of young soldiers, recruited from marginalized communities in the west of the country and the Sahelian strip, came to fight for the ghanaim: women, jewelry and dollars.”Stolen gold and valuables were funneled through RSF-run markets and smuggled across borders. Residents interviewed by Le Monde point to foreign involvement, including the United Arab Emirates, as central to the militia’s war economy, which left the capital gutted.

Once again, a Scottish newspaper takes a stand, refusing to follow the mainstream media mob in perpetuating the great fiction that is the Gaza “ceasefire”. The @scotnational.bsky.social puts their peers to shame.
The front page of the National on Friday Dec 5, 2025. The headline reads “A ceasefire in name only”. The sub-heading reads: “We publish a timeline of the ongoing violence in Gaza since a 'ceasefire was agreed - as Netanyahu's brutal, apartheid regime's genocide continues to claim lives.”
