15 countries produce 80% of global oil supply. A treaty of 15 or 20 is much easier to coordinate and enforce than a treaty of 200 countries using fossil fuels.

Canada just signed an MOU which deepens military cooperation, intelligence sharing and training with the UAE, which is arming mass killings in Sudan.
Every country with gold stored in the US or its allies should move it home or at least some country unlikely to steal or seize it.
Hot tip to @LulaOficial: Move Brazil's gold reserves out of the US right f*cking now.

I am calling on Canada to oppose the candidacy of Lana Nusseibeh, the UAE's nominee for UN Secretary General. Human rights are not negotiable. Those complicit in atrocities are unfit to lead the UN.
See my letter.
Flavio claims to be the rightful President, that the election was stolen. It would not shock me if the Congress impeaches Lula basically right out of the gate, if they can get one of the centrist parties on board.
Flávio Bolsonaro issues his first official statement since arriving in the United States, confirming what I reported yesterday about his departure from Brazil and the protection he says he has received.
Here are the key points:
1. Flávio declares himself the legitimate president-elect of Brazil and denounces massive electoral fraud in favor of Lula.
2. He questions how Lula gained more than 10 million additional votes between the first and second rounds and accuses Brazil’s Supreme Court of interfering with the electoral process.
3. He confirms that he left Brazil with his family and is now safe in the United States.
4. He personally thanks Argentine President Javier Milei for his courage, sense of justice, and respect for the rule of law.
He also thanks President Donald Trump and the American people for welcoming his family, describing America as a land of freedom and shared values.
5. He thanks President Trump and the U.S. government for providing the legal security he says no longer exists in Brazil.
6. He states that there is no arrest warrant against him but denounces an attempt to confiscate his passports and a politically motivated campaign to imprison and silence him.
7. He makes it clear: “I did not flee Brazil.” He says he left to preserve his freedom and continue leading the Brazilian people.
8. He announces that he will lead the Brazilian opposition from the United States, speaking freely against Lula and the Brazilian judicial establishment, as I shared before.
9. He compares his political exile to those of Charles de Gaulle, José Martí, and Venezuelan opposition leaders who continued fighting for their countries from abroad.
10. He calls on Brazilian senators, governors, and members of Congress to stand up against political persecution and restore the balance of power.
11. He calls on the international community not to normalize what he describes as the destruction of democracy and the rule of law in Brazil.
His statement confirms the central facts I reported yesterday: Flávio Bolsonaro left Brazil, arrived safely in the United States with his family, and says he has received protection from President Trump’s administration.
His statement does not formally confirm that political asylum has already been granted, but it makes his intentions absolutely clear.
He says he is not abandoning Brazil. He is preparing to lead the opposition from American soil.
This is just the beginning.
God bless Brazil. God bless the United States of America!
Remember how mild the demand is here, he isn't demanding to even formally be part of the coalition or get a cabinet seat, just equality.
Can the Zionist opposition parties to Netanyahu stomach that? Big test time.

To show how 120 Gazans were killed in September alone? During a ceasefire? You sickos treat Palestinian lives like meaningless numbers.
If you think this man beating a Palestinian woman for picking olives is bad you're doing antisemitism. He's being visibly Jewish settling "judea", see?
Being deeply connected to the Land of Israel—including being willing to settle a rural outpost with barely functioning toilets, water, or roads—is a sign of visible Jewishness, just like wearing a kippa, or donning peyot. These indices of Jewishness are perceived by Jew-haters—and Jews with internalized antizionism—as licensing hate, defamation, and violence.

If you think Zionism’s goal of creating a Jewish ethnostate in a land inhabited by a majority non-Jews didn’t require ethnic cleansing and land thefts of Palestinians, then you are utterly delusional.

New Democrats have repeatedly raised concerns about the UAE’s human rights record with the Liberals – including the UAE’s role in the genocide in Sudan.
Canada should not sign a trade deal with a country fueling genocide and weapons should not be shipped while this continues.

أريد اليوم أن أوضح نقطة تعرضت بسببها لانتقادات كثيرة يوم أمس، وهي أنني أفضل فوز بنيامين نتنياهو في الانتخابات الإسرائيلية واستمراره رئيسًا للوزراء.
قناعتي الشخصية، وسأشرح لكم أسبابها بالتفصيل، هي أن بنيامين نتنياهو أفضل هدية قدمها المجتمع الإسرائيلي للعرب والمسلمين ولكل من يعادي المشروع الصهيوني منذ بداية هذا المشروع تقريبًا.
ولكن لماذا أقول هذا؟
بداية، إذا نظرنا إلى السجل السياسي والتاريخي لبنيامين نتنياهو، فلا بد أن نفهم أن هذا الرجل أثّر في إسرائيل وفي مسارها التاريخي أكثر من أي رئيس وزراء آخر تقريبًا. بل أعتقد أنه ثاني أهم شخصية في تاريخ إسرائيل بعد دافيد بن غوريون، مؤسس الدولة الإسرائيلية.
وهذه نقطة أساسية لفهم ما سأشرحه لاحقًا.
في تسعينيات القرن الماضي، كانت إسرائيل أمام فرصة تاريخية لتغيير مسار المشروع الصهيوني. كان من الممكن بالفعل أن تتجه نحو تسوية سياسية مع الفلسطينيين، وأن تقبل بقيام دولة فلسطينية في الضفة الغربية وقطاع غزة، وبالتالي تنهي الصراع الفلسطيني الإسرائيلي أو على الأقل تضعه على طريق الحل.
وربما، لولا مجيء نتنياهو إلى السلطة وإجهاضه عملية السلام واتفاقيات أوسلو، لكانت هناك اليوم دولة فلسطينية في الضفة الغربية وقطاع غزة.
نتنياهو، باعتقادي، عندما أوقف هذا المسار، لم ينقذ المشروع الصهيوني كما يتصور أنصاره، بل وضع الأسس التاريخية لانهياره.
I feel the same. Why was the Kaiser's Germany so much worse than the Allies, all running big disgusting colonial empires of genocide & theft? Why did Canada need to fight in WW1 at all?

As I told you before, you are suffering from the illusion of knowledge. I highly recommend you to read more about Israel and the Arab participation in it. You know nothing about it, obviously.
First, Ben-Gurion's Arab parties were essentially satellite parties controlled by Mapai, not independent Palestinian political movements. They supported his governments while Palestinian citizens of Israel were living under military rule until 1966. You seriously want to present that as evidence of political equality?
Second, throughout Israel's history, only ONE independent Arab party has ever formally joined a governing coalition: Ra'am under the Bennett-Lapid government in 2021. And even that required Mansour Abbas to largely set aside the Palestinian national question and concentrate on domestic issues.
Why? Because Zionist parties have historically refused to accept independent Palestinian political participation in government. And they openly admit it!
Look at Lieberman, Bennett, and even Eisenkot today. They demand a government of Zionist parties or impose conditions requiring Arab parties to recognize Israel's Jewish national character. In other words, Palestinian Arabs are expected to abandon their demand for equal national recognition and accept the Zionist political framework before they can become legitimate governing partners.
Third, have you actually read Israel's 2018 Nation-State Basic Law? Article 1(c) explicitly reserves national self-determination in Israel exclusively for the Jewish people. EXCLUSIVELY. Not for Palestinians. Not for all Israeli citizens.
And please stop quoting Israel's Declaration of Independence as though it were a binding constitution.
That declaration was written in 1948, when Israel was seeking international recognition and eventually admission to the United Nations. Its promises of equality helped present a democratic image to the international community.
But anyone with even a basic understanding of Israeli constitutional law knows that the Declaration is NOT a binding constitution. It has interpretive significance, but it cannot override legislation or the Basic Laws. So quoting its promises does not establish that Palestinian national equality is constitutionally guaranteed.
The fundamental contradiction remains: Israel defines national self-determination as belonging exclusively to the Jewish people while expecting Palestinian citizens to accept that arrangement as the condition for political legitimacy.
You are confusing parliamentary representation with national equality, and political subordination with genuine participation in government.
Before lecturing someone about Zionism, Ben-Gurion, and Israeli political history, I suggest you actually study the subject.

The misery in those hallways - the despair, the suffering, the blatant disregard for the sanctity of the person - I cannot forgive. He has promised us not once but four times that he was laser focused on solving the problem and he has achieved nothing. Disgraceful

It is a shame to the Western world, but especially Europe, that this has to be said out loud: diplomacy and peace do not equal surrender!
The West’s obsession with continuing the war against Russia, supporting Ukraine’s effort to continue fighting, merely condemns more Ukrainian men to death, with no hope of victory ever.
It is cruel and immoral to continue supporting a war in the name of “freedom“ when you condemn the very objects of your affection to death.
You all remember how The Telegraph misrepresented my interview and put words in my mouth that I never said.
@justfp and @ErikSperling have now written a letter to The Telegraph. I am asking you to support it with your signature using the link below. We will then send the letter to The Telegraph requesting that they correct their mistake.
Thank you very much in advance.👇

This is going to be the dominant position among Israeli Jews if the Arab parties end up determining the next PM. Stripping Arab citizens of voting rights was already supported by about a quarter of Israeli Jews back in 2019, ie before 7 Oct and also before 2021, the first time Arab parties played a role in an Israeli governing coalition.
