(New York, N.Y.) – On October 7, 2023, Hamas invaded southern Israel where, in the space of eight hours, hundreds of armed terrorists perpetrated mass crimes of brutality, rape, and torture against men, women and children. In the biggest attack on Jewish life in a single day since the Holocaust, 1,200 were killed, and 251 were taken hostage into Gaza—where 101 remain. One year on, antisemitic incidents have increased by record numbers.
CEP CEO Ambassador Mark D. Wallace and CEP President Fran Townsend
Exactly one year ago, Hamas committed unspeakable atrocities and started a war that continues to devastate the region.
Instead of support and solace in the wake of the attacks, Jewish communities around the world have experienced unprecedented surges in antisemitism in the last year. Meanwhile, despite its extremist and genocidal aims, Hamas continues to enjoy the support not only of fellow terrorist groups but of sovereign nation states such as the Islamic Republic of Iran, U.S. ally Qatar, and NATO ally Turkey.
And while today should be a day of reflection and remembrance to honor those who were murdered and abused, terrorist supporters are at this moment thronging the streets of major Western cities—justifying last year’s brutality and appropriating this solemn anniversary as a day of so-called “resistance.” There are clear gaps in existing laws when it comes to support for designated terror groups, as well as reluctance to enforce existing regulations. Online hate and disinformation is at the frontline of this battle and social media companies have repeatedly failed to enforce their own terms of service and purported values.
October 7 was an attack on civilization itself, and those who continue to support its perpetrators—whether with further violence, weapons, finance, or rhetoric—represent an existential threat to global peace. Hamas, as well as its friends, allies, and sponsors who threaten this peace, must be held to account.
We at the Counter Extremism Project stand strongly with our Jewish friends and unequivocally condemn Hamas and those who support it. We will continue to call for defiance in the face of extremism and hate.
One Year of Genocide
For Immediate Release
ADC Contact: media[at adc org]
Washington, DC | www.adc.org | October 7, 2024 – For an entire year the whole world has borne witness to what Palestinians have been enduring for decades—no one can claim any longer that they didn’t know. 367 days of genocide have been livestreamed on our smartphones and devices, putting on full display western hypocrisy. Day after day we watched a relentless assault on childhood, indiscriminate bombardment with thousands of tons of explosives, a calculated campaign of starvation, millions of Palestinians displaced and maimed, and the destruction of Gaza’s health infrastructure—all at an unprecedented scale.
We also witnessed a global movement collectively rise together and demand an end to the genocide, and for a Free Palestine. The Palestinians in Gaza, through their faith and perseverance, awakened the consciousness of global citizens of all ethnic, racial and religious backgrounds.
As ADC publicly stated last year, the unprecedented and ongoing resistance by Palestinians from Gaza did not happen in a vacuum. The objective of Israels genocide became abundantly clear early on – further occupation and annexation of Palestine and neighboring Arab land. This was never about “self-defense” - it is an offensive terror campaign on Arab populations in the Levant.
Despite unprecedented mass mobilizations, there has been no shift in US foreign policy in the region. Israel continues to receive tens of billions of dollars in military aid and weapons as calls for a ceasefire and arms embargo continue to be ignored. Not only has Israel’s impunity enabled it to intensify its attacks all over Palestine, but now the assault has expanded rapidly to Lebanon, Yemen, Syria and the region. The US government's active involvement in the genocide goes beyond complicity—the US is providing the means for its execution everywhere.
We will not give up. We don’t just need our elected representatives to demand a ceasefire, we need them to immediately stop all weapons sales and transfers to Israel, and commit to the end of its occupation in Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria.
Demand that Congress Impose Ceasefire, Enforce an Arms Embargo, and End Occupation
Millions will continue marching, students will continue rising, and a movement for justice and liberation will continue to grow. No one can defeat a just cause and a steadfast and proud people. The genocide will stop, Palestine will be liberated, and we shall return. Palestine was, is, and always will remain alive.

The Meaning of October 7th: An Oppressed People Will Always Find a Way to Resist Oppression
The Meaning of October 7th: An Oppressed People Will Always Find a Way to Resist Oppression
Black Alliance for Peace will never abandon the Rights of Palestinian People to Resist Zionist Colonialism “By Any Means Necessary”
“Peace is not the absence of conflict, but rather the achievement by popular struggle of … the defeat of global systems of oppression that include colonialism, imperialism, patriarchy, and white supremacy.”
(BAP Principle of Unity)
Today, October 7, 2024, the world commemorates – some in horror, others in celebration – a full year of a genocidal war, prosecuted in real time in occupied Palestine. In spite of the commonly accepted lie that the Al Aqsa Flood on October 7 was the beginning, this “war” actually began on November 29, 1947, with the passing of the UN resolution that led to the creation of the Israeli settler colonial state. For the next seventy-six years, with the backing of Western governments the state of Israel would lead a war of conquest, ethnically cleansing and massacring hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, displacing and maiming millions, and establishing an apartheid state. Therefore, the Black Alliance for Peace views the Al-Aqsa Flood as a legitimate resistance operation by the besieged Palestinians – the only party with an internationally recognized right of resistance. We support Palestinian resistance against the violent military domination by white supremacist imperialism and colonialism that began, first in the form of British colonialism, and continues in the form of zionism.
In response to the prison breakout of October 7, the Israeli Occupation Forces (IDF) unleashed a horrific wave of state terror with indiscriminate bombing, targeting of civilian infrastructure, rape, torture and starvation with an obvious and specific target – the non-combatant civilian population. The result – a second Nakba – another catastrophe for the Palestinian people, with tens of thousands slaughtered with impunity. This systematic state terrorism has now engulfed Lebanon, with Israel replicating its depraved, anti-human tactics from Gaza. It began with an attempt to terrorize the resistance group Hezbollah including the killing of the group’s revered leader and anti-colonial fighter, Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah. This terrorism has continued with the indiscriminate massacre of civilians in an attempt to force the Lebanese people into submission.
Over the last year, the International Criminal Court (ICC) and International Court of Justice (ICJ) along with all the other Western-run international bodies that claim to defend human rights have proven themselves complicit, acting as mere puppets of U.S. imperialism. As global protests erupt in fury, Israel continues its slaughter, understanding clearly that the U.S. settler-state and the white West will continue to provide it protection.
What the last year has reconfirmed for BAP is that the violence we have witnessed is part of a global system of white supremacism dependent on unrestrained state terror in order to continue the extraction of value from still colonized and oppressed non-European peoples, working classes and nations. The militarization of police, from the Israeli Occupation Force in Gaza to the deadly exchange programs in domestic colonized communities, is the extension of fascist settler colonialism. If we understand the U.S. as a settler project, then its global expansion can only result in one thing – replicating systems of dominance and repression everywhere. Here, we must also recognize that the attacks on Gaza and Lebanon mirror the looming assault on Haiti. Both represent the deep-rooted racist violence that has always been at the core of the Pan-European colonial/capitalist white supremacist patriarchy since this system of oppression emerged in 1492.
Speaking out against this system of global white supremacy, whether here or abroad, is met with criminalization. From resisting austerity and Cop Cities in the U.S., to the prosecution of the “Uhuru 3” as agents of Russia, to curtailing speech and protest in hopes of dismantling the ‘student intifada’ across campuses, to the Palestinians and Lebanese fighting occupation, the message is clear: dissent is dangerous. But we must stand firm in truth. The real terrorists are those upholding the illegal zionist settler-colonial apartheid regime. The Black Alliance for Peace condemns Israel's decades-long barbarism and fully supports the Palestinian people’s right to resist occupation. Decolonization and self-determination are not simply demands – they are central to the realization of human rights. And since there is no real justice for Palestinians in Western-controlled international laws, we stand by their right to fight for their humanity. Collective resistance is a central principle of the People(s)-Centered Human Rights framework that guides BAP’s approach to the human rights issue.
Fifty years into the future, the zionist massacre of Palestinians and invasion of Lebanon will be widely recognized for the war crimes that they are. But in the same way that it takes little courage today to oppose the segregation of the 1950s, the time to stand up against genocide and colonialism is right now - today. And we do not have the luxury of waiting for history to vindicate the Palestinians’ just struggle; we must act to help end the zionists’ ever-expanding genocidal war now, once and for all.
Our struggles are intertwined: we are bound by the shared reality of living under white supremacist, settler-colonial states. When one of us suffers, we all do. And together, we will resist. Long live the resistance. Glory to the martyrs. Palestine will be free – and so will the world once our peoples unite to defeat the U.S./EU/NATO Axis Domination.

The afternoon of December 29, 2021 fish (shad and/or white bass?) reportedly fell, along with hail,
over the twin cities of Texarkana, Texas and Texarkana, Arkansas during or before a storm.
Roosting cormorants at Lake Crabtree in Cary, NC must have coughed up fingerling small shad,
that littered a path under large oaks, one year, maybe around winter 2022,
but the birds were presumably perched at the time.
Spangled perch reportedly fell over Yowah, Australia, near Brisbane, Queensland,
during Cyclone Esther, but allegedly these common fish readily enter temporary
pools of water when it rains, so they might not have come from the sky,
unless someone witnessed fish falling --

that there was a conspiracy inside the US government to assassinate the president.

the Brazilian military in Varginha, Minas Gerais:

There were UFO reports in Durham January 25 and 27 (?) in 1954, according to
Durham journalist and history writer Jim Wise, in his book
Durham Tales: the morris street maple, the plastic cow, the durham day that was and more.
There was another UFO report in Carrboro around January 26th in 2013 (see the DTH link above)?
The NUFORC has a number of reports from Carrboro, not all, maybe few, covered by a media outlet.
They have received reports over the years from locales big and small -- Durham, Chapel Hill,
Pittsboro, Siler City, Silk Hope, Bear Creek, I think Carthage, Morrisville, Avon out on the OBX, etc.

Syrians interviewed on the BBC and NPR about the end of the 'occupation' of the country by Iran
(is that Sunni "rebel" code for Shia or Alawite Muslims?), Hezbollah, and maybe Hamas, and not a
word about the actual US, Turkish, and Israeli occupations. The US and Israel are bombing the country
and Israel has seized even more land around the Golan Heights. NPR noted that occupation, and Trump,
but said nothing about the Democrats. "Rebels" even claim to want good relations with Israel!
The three-starred green, black, and white "rebel" flag was flown out of cars in Raleigh. Around
early December a BBC Arabic 'expert' claimed that Hamas supported the Syrian government, but
I thought that the "Syrian Revolution" was a source of friction between them, Sunni-based Hamas joining
with Turkey, the US, UK, Israel, etc. in being pro-"opposition" while Egypt, Hezbollah, Iran, Russia, etc.
were pro-government. Strange bedfellows, Egypt joining with the US in being anti-Hamas if not
anti-Palestine.
"'the extirpation of idolatry’" after the counter-revolution:

Pro-jihadist NPR and the BBC, and fingerwagging, especially by NPR, about support for the
assassination of the UnitedHealthcare CEO.
December 11th: "1A" fingerwagging about RFK Jr and Republican support for the "anti-science,"
'dangerous' drinking of "raw milk" Rightwing 'hippies' and 'crunchy' Republicans versus 'police state'
and "warhawk" Democrats in the 2010's-2020's??
"On Point" interviewed a young Iranian-American former Trotskyist (they lol'd about that?),
Catholic Republican, a former WSJ staffer writer (?), who is apparently still anti-Soviet
(and against the French Revolution??) but also critical of capitalism, maybe along the lines of a
Catholic Worker or the Pope. Quoted the Communist Manifesto.

under construction in Chile December 5th evening --
apparently they gave an anonymous US spook agency control of their data and a veto?
Their data will be routed to an unknown facility in California for vetting before they even
get to see it. As if China and Russia don't have observatories, or is the US telescope in Chile
being weaponized against China, etc. and the public? --

[Puritan MA] "Dolores Alex, i find this post disingenuous.
The struggle for socialism should never be regarded as an end in itself; socialism cannot
be a completed stage of development – it is a transition. Marxist Leninists have elucidated this
clearly over the decades since.
We have known for over a century that a two stage revolution is required to replace capitalism.
So, what gives? Or is strawman on the menu for dinner?"

"Snippy" (Lady?), an Appaloosa pony kept at the Harry King Ranch on Sand Dunes Road in Alamosa,
in the San Luis Valley, in central southern Colorado, near Great Sand Dunes National Monument,
was apparently noticed to be missing September 7, 1967 and was found dead, possibly
under mysterious circumstances, September 9th; the saddle horse's head and neck had been
completely defleshed, etc.; the exact details and what happened to the skeleton afterward are unclear,
maybe nothing truly unusual happened to the horse and it had been shot and killed by a third party,
possibly after getting very ill; a "purple pup tent" was reportedly seen in the area, but the implication
is that it was not really a tent; the horse's owner, Nellie Lewis committed (was driven to?) suicide in
