EDITORS—The official death toll in Gaza now stands at just under 40,000, though the true number of casualties is likely far higher with many thousands of the dead unaccounted for. In one of the deadliest attacks of the entire war, Israel on Saturday bombed the al-Tabin school in Gaza City where thousands of Palestinians had sought shelter. Officials in Gaza say over 100 Palestinians were killed in the attack, many of them while they were praying at a mosque inside the school. Many of the dead were dismembered or destroyed beyond recognition, with medics reportedly collecting body parts in plastic bags. CNN has confirmed a U.S.-made GBU-39 small diameter bomb was used in the strike, which resulted in “over 100 pieces of people,” says Palestinian journalist Shrouq Aila in Gaza. “I’m saying ‘pieces’ because nobody was able to recognize the full body of their beloved ones.”

Two notorious US politicians are now planning to betray the remaining Right Whales, on the edge of extinction
14 minutes readKIERAN SUCKLING—Senators Joe Manchin and Lindsey Graham share a common goal: making North Atlantic right whales extinct.
They proposed a bill that would put off slowing down boats and ships in right whale habitat. And vessel strikes are a leading cause of death for these magnificent and highly endangered animals.
The Center for Biological Diversity is fighting for them. Please help by giving to the Saving Life on Earth Fund today. NOAA Fisheries has a rule in place to try to reduce vessel strikes. But it doesn’t go far enough — and right whales are paying for that.
So we filed an emergency petition to implement new rules for vessels in the coastal waters where right whales feed, have their babies, and migrate.

Putin War Room–Safeguarding Civilians. (Read this if you want to understand Putin and Russia)
by Karl Sanchez46 minutes readKARL SANCHEZ—This isn’t the first report of the Ukie’s using gas-loaded artillery shells which confirms the terroristic nature of the operation. The aim to foment political unrest and demand for the SMO to cease has failed, yet the effort outed one of the sleeping enemies within Russia. The following short essay by Marat Khairullen was posted to his VK and his Telegram yesterday and tells quite a tale that few readers here will be aware of. Oleg Deripaska is the person being investigated, his name is linked to his Wiki bio, which notes he’s been sanctioned by the Outlaw USW Empire and its UK dog, so he can’t fully enjoy the Cypriot citizenship he bought. His desire to have the sanctions dropped are clearly a motive for his actions, but how closely was he involved with the Ukies is a pertinent question.

MAIN EDITORS—The term MICIMATT, coined by former CIA officer Ray McGovern, stands for Military-Industrial-Congressional-Intelligence-Media-Academia-Think-Tank complex. This concept extends President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s warning about the Military-Industrial Complex (MIC) in his 1961 farewell address, highlighting the expanding and evolving influence of these interconnected sectors over U.S. government policy and decision-making. MICIMATT encapsulates the comprehensive network of interests that drive and sustain U.S. militarism and interventionist policies through various forms of influence, from political lobbying to media manipulation and academic endorsements.

With its often insufferably priggish, self-satisfied tone, CBS Sunday is clearly designed as a tool to comfort and please the PMCs in the US and the “Western world”, the folks who, aside from the billionaires who really run and own the show, clearly benefit from the criminally hypocritical status quo.
For those ensconced under a rock, the “PMCs” are the professional-managerial class, the upper middle class folks operating the vital machinery of the US global empire, most particularly the MICIMATT, Ray McGovern’s apt term for the Military-Industrial-Congressional-Intelligence- Media-Academia-Think-Tank complex, doubtless the most evil aggregation of humans in modern history.
