In Human Form

 Living Beings,


​  In Israel, ‘animals in human form’ may be killed​ Studies consistently show that Jewish Israelis view Palestinians as less than human. 
This deep-seated racism is rooted in the Zionist colonial project and helps explain the broad support for the Gaza genocide.​   https://mondoweiss.net/2025/08/in-israel-animals-in-human-form-may-be-killed/

​  Israel’s Smotrich sparks outcry with West Bank annexation maps
​  Israel’s far-right finance minister said on Wednesday that maps were being drawn up for annexing territory in the occupied West Bank, land the Palestinians seek for a state, although it was unclear if he had Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s support.
​  At a press conference in Jerusalem, Bezalel Smotrich stood before a map that suggested the possible annexation of most of the West Bank with the exception of six large Palestinian cities, including Ramallah and Nablus.
​  Smotrich said he wanted “maximum territory and minimum (Palestinian) population” to be brought under Israeli sovereignty, urging Netanyahu to accept his plan that is being drawn up by a department under Smotrich’s supervision in the Defense Ministry.​

​  Police say the attack was "carefully planned" - after which the killer fled to a nearby forest and burned his clothes, and disposed of the e-bike.
​  During an initial court appearance, the suspect called the killing as his "personal revenge against the Ukrainian authorities" and said he shot Parubiy "because he was nearby". He further told reporters outside the courtroom, "Yes, I admit I killed him."​

​  Another real estate deal of the century: Gomer & Sgt. Carter roll in their graves. Trump Considers Leasing Parts Of Camp Pendleton To Fund Golden Dome
​  The Pentagon is exploring the possibility of leasing sections of Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California to commercial customers, and potentially using the proceeds to bankroll President Trump's Golden Dome missile defense scheme, NBC News was first to report on Wednesday, citing a current DOD official, as well as a former one.
​  Positioned between Los Angeles and San Diego, Camp Pendleton boasts more than 125,000 acres of land and 17 miles of Pacific coastline, with Interstate 5 conveniently traversing it near the coastline. The topography is diverse, ranging from the seafront to mountainous terrain. As you'd imagine, it's the largest undeveloped coastline expanse in all of Southern California.​

​  Did you notice the EU just lost its gas lifeline? Here’s what you should know
With three signatures, Russia, China and Mongolia rerouted half a century of energy history eastward.
​  On Tuesday, the three countries signed a legally binding memorandum for the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline – a roughly 2,600-km line, at an estimated cost of around $13.6 bn, that will carry 50 billion cubic meters (bcm) of natural gas every year through Mongolia into northern China’s industrial heartland.
​  While the pricing structure has yet to be fixed, the signatories have effectively redrawn the European energy map.
​  For decades, this gas was the bedrock of German and Western European industry, piped from Russia’s Yamal fields in the Arctic through Nord Stream 1 directly into Germany. Now, that same supply is being redirected east.​

  ​Surplus Energy Economics, The Devil To Pay
​  In the wooden world of ​Admiral Nelson’s navy, the “devil” was a ship’s central deck seam, and this periodically had to be filled (“paid”) using tar pre-heated for this purpose. Thus, “the devil to pay, with no pitch hot” came to describe any task that was either extremely difficult or outright impossible to accomplish.
​  Our contemporary “devils” are environmental and economic challenges, and the “pitch” that we don’t have ready to hand is a body of fact-informed interpretations and projections.
​  More specifically, abundant environmental facts exist but are routinely disregarded, whilst most of the available “facts” about the economy belong firmly in the category of fiction.​..

​..On the environment, the vast body of opinion divides into two schools of thought. John Michael Greer has put this extremely well.
On the one side are those who say that “nothing is wrong, the climate isn’t changing, and even if it is changing, it’s not our fault and it will probably turn out for the best anyway”.
​  On the other are those who, whilst admitting that there are problems, insist that a fix exists in the form of “transition” to renewable sources of energy.
​  These, Greer says, are exemplified by “the Davos set, who fly on private jets to dine on steak and lobster while discussing how everyone else will have to give up their cars and live on insect protein”.
​  Likewise, the vast majority of opinion about the economy divides into two sets of views. One is that there’s no problem with the economy that can’t be explained in terms of the sheer bad luck of encountering wars, a pandemic and disruptive trade disputes in quick succession.
​  The alternative view concedes that the economy isn’t performing well, but assures us that the “normality” of growth will be restored through a combination of technological advance and monetary stimulus.
​  When we apply the litmus test of fact, this ‘duality of consensus’ becomes a duality of fallacy.​..
..The much-vaunted “transition” to “climate-friendly” renewable energy not only isn’t happening, but can’t happen. These “renewables” are neither renewable nor climate-friendly.
  They’re not “renewable” because they can’t be developed without the use of vast amounts of legacy energy from carbon sources. They’re not “climate-friendly” because their expansion involves mining and other activities which, both in nature and at scale, are very far from environmentally harmless...
..Both the ‘denial’ and the ‘reassurance’ approaches to climate change completely disregard the facts, presumably because these facts are inconvenient or, at least, unprofitable.​..
..There are no “renewables majors” taking up the baton from the fabled seven sisters of the golden age of oil, because nobody sees great commercial potential in the supply of forms of energy which always and everywhere depend upon subsidies...
..As Steve Keen has so rightly put it, “labour without energy is a corpse; capital without energy is a statue”...
..In America, Britain and Germany – and even in China – government net borrowing has substantially exceeded reported growth since 2019. This period includes pandemic lockdowns, of course, but it also includes the following rebound...
​..Governments have carried on borrowing even during the ‘recovery’ phase.​ Moreover, SEEDS analysis indicates that this has been a global rather than purely a local phenomenon. In essence, governments are borrowing money, and citizens’ spending of this borrowed money is being passed off as “growth”.​..
..GDP, far from measuring economic output, is in reality an aggregation of transactional activity in the economy...​  and it’s perfectly possible, indeed commonplace, for money to change hands without any material economic value being created.​..
..If we pour credit into the system, we necessarily increase the quantity of transactional activity, in ways that may be wholly unrelated to changes in the flow of material economic value...
..Recent economic history has been characterised by (a) a massive ramping up of credit supply, and (b) the subsequent slashing of rates to zero or even negative real levels, in order to prevent the enormous debt and quasi-debt edifice from collapsing...
..What we need to do, then, is to strip this multi-faceted “credit effect” out of reported transactional GDP. The resulting series of underlying or “clean” economic output is known in SEEDS terminology as C-GDP...
..As shown in Fig. 2B, reported real “growth” of 96% in GDP between 2004 and 2024 falls to only 33% on an adjusted, C-GDP basis.​   

..Infrastructures, being material, cannot be created, operated, maintained or replaced without the use of energy. Accordingly, “whenever energy is accessed for our use, some of this energy is always consumed in the access process, and is not available for any other economic purpose”.
​  This “consumed in access” component is known in Surplus Energy Economics as the Energy Cost of Energy. Since we cannot have energy without “paying” this proportionate cost, ECoE functions as the economic rent payable for the use of the planet’s energy resources.​..
..The relentless rise in trend ECoEs – from 2.0% in 1980 to 11.3% now – has been the single biggest reason why growth in the material economy has long been decelerating towards contraction...​   

..“Downstream” uses of this prosperity calculation include a comparison between prosperity and population numbers (Fig. 3C), and the division of economic resources into the three segmental categories of essentials, capital investment and discretionary consumption (Fig. 3D)...
..The data strongly points towards an artificial inflation of reported GDP, a deteriorating ability to afford discretionary (non-essential) products and services, dangerous excesses both in credit aggregates and in asset prices, and a very strong likelihood that our efforts to cope with these imbalances will tend towards the debasement of money​ [or massive debt default, or both, and WW-3...]​   https://surplusenergyeconomics.wordpress.com/2025/09/01/309-the-devil-to-pay/#like-44996

Reviving The UN

 Orderly Humans,


  From a very good anonymous RT journalist:  The old world order was buried in China. Here’s why it matters
Xi, Putin and Modi have lead calls in Tianjin for a UN-centered multipolar system, as Eurasian blocs tighten and the EU is sidelined 
​  At the table were Chinese President Xi Jinping, his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi – together representing more than a third of humanity and 3 of largest countries on Earth.
​  Xi unveiled a broad Global Governance Initiative, including a proposed SCO development bank, cooperation on artificial intelligence, and financial support for developing nations. Putin described the SCO as “a vehicle for genuine multilateralism” and called for a Eurasian security model beyond Western control. Modi’s presence – his first visit to China in years – and the powerful optics around his meeting with Putin, signaled that India is willing to be seen as part of this emerging order.
​  What just happened (and why it’s bigger than a photo-op)
​  The pitch: Xi is promoting an order that “democratizes” global governance and reduces dependence on US-centric finance (think: less dollar gravity, more regional institutions). 
​  Putin called the SCO a vehicle for “genuine multilateralism” and Eurasian security.
By calling China a partner rather than a rival, Modi signaled New Delhi won’t be locked into Washington’s anti-China agenda.
​  The audience: More than 20 non-Western leaders were in the room, with United Nations (UN) Secretary-General António Guterres endorsing the event organisation – not a club meeting in the shadows, but a UN-centered frame at a China-led forum.
​  Translation: “We want the UN Charter back – not someone else’s in-house rules”
​  Beijing’s line is blunt: reject Cold War blocs and restore the UN system as the only universal legal baseline. That’s a direct rebuke to the post-1991 “rules-based international order”, drafted in Washington or Brussels and enforced selectively.
​  Examples are not hard to find. The 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia went ahead without a UN mandate, justified under the “responsibility to protect.” The 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq was launched despite the absence of Security Council approval – a war later admitted even by Western officials to have been based on false premises. In 2011, a UN resolution authorizing a no-fly zone over Libya was used by NATO to pursue outright regime change, leaving behind a failed state and opening a corridor of misery into the heart of Western Europe.​..
​..The architecture replacing unipolarity (it’s already here)
​  Security spine: The Shanghai Cooperation Organization brings together Russia, China, India and Central Asian states to coordinate security, counterterrorism and intelligence – the hard-power framework that makes the rest possible.
​  Economic boardrooms: BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) expanded in 2024 to include Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates, followed by Indonesia in 2025.​ With its New Development Bank and a drive for trade in national currencies, it now acts as a counterweight to the Group of Seven (G7).
​  Regional weight: The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) – a ten-member bloc shaping Asian trade and standards – increasingly aligns with SCO and BRICS projects.
​  Energy leverage: The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), six Arab monarchies, coordinate policy through the wider Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries Plus (OPEC+), giving them control over key oil flows.
​  Taken together, these bodies already function as a parallel governance system that doesn’t need Western sponsorship or veto power.​

​  Gilbert Doctorow onThe Rise of India,  CNN18 (India) panel discussion of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit
  Regrettably, Indian broadcasters seem to be missing the truly historic nature of the SCO summit for their country, which lay not in the fall of Pakistan but in the prospects for a rise of their own country to a managing position in the SCO. Let us remember that from its founding at the beginning of the new millennium, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization was primarily an instrument for Russia and China to moderate their competing interests in Central Asia and to keep out the Americans, the Europeans and other interlopers. It was focused on combatting terrorism and narcotics trading. The working languages of the SCO were and remain Russian and Mandarin, which tells you who is running the show.
​  Now, with India in the midst of a painful spat with the United States, with the work of 25 years by successive American administrations to inveigle India in its scheme for building an alliance to counter Chinese growth and influence in the Indo-Pacific region shredded and in tatters, the moment has come for India to realize its nonalignment and sovereignty by assuming a leading role in the SCO.​   https://gilbertdoctorow.substack.com/p/cnn18-india-panel-discussion-of-the

​  Isolation, They Said: Xi Embraces Putin & Modi In Major China Summit - Trump Responds
​  Amid the chummy atmosphere which saw Presidents Xi, Modi, and Putin share hugs, handshakes, and warm moments filled with laughter, it is intent on signaling to the world a major shift away from US-led global dominance and toward a multipolar world increasingly shaped by Asia, Eurasia, and the Global South, also coming at a moment Washington is threatening severe secondary sanctions on any nation doing business with Russia.​..
..The populations of China, India, and Russia represent over a third of the global population alone, and heads of state from over 20 more countries were also represented, among them Belarus and Slovakia.​..
."It starts with Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India and President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia holding hands and walking into a meeting hall filled with other world leaders. They head straight for President Xi Jinping of China, shake hands and form a close circle. A few words are exchanged before translators join the huddle. Mr. Putin cracks a broad smile, and Mr. Modi lets out a big laugh. At one point, Mr. Modi joins hands with the two leaders."...
..President Trump responded to the clear messaging of 'friendship' and 'unity' among China, Russia, and India on Monday - writing on Truth Social, "What few people understand is that we do very little business with India, but they do a tremendous amount of business with us." He added that the US remains India's "biggest client."​ ... "The reason is that India has charged us, until now, such high Tariffs, the most of any country, that our businesses are unable to sell into India. It has been a totally one sided disaster! Also, India buys most of its oil and military products from Russia, very little from the U.S. They have now offered to cut their Tariffs to nothing, but it’s getting late. They should have done so years ago," Trump posted.​   https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/isolation-they-said-xi-embraces-putin-modi-major-china-summit

Many Americans died in China’s quest for Victory and Glory. I hope that they are rightfully Honored and Remembered for their Bravery and Sacrifice! May President Xi and the wonderful people of China have a great and lasting day of celebration. Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America.”​   https://trendsinthenews.substack.com/p/conspiracy-theory-trump-posts-bizzare

​  Juan Cole: Türkiye Bans Israeli Ships, Goods At Its Ports, Halts Cargo Overflights, Declares Gaza a Genocide
Türkiye’s parliament passed a resolution Friday declaring that Israel’s actions in Gaza amount to genocide.
​  MENA-FN reports that the resolution​ “stated that Israel’s decades-long policies of occupation, destruction, and annexation have escalated into genocide over the past two years.”
​  The resolution declared that the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is deliberately starving the civilian population...
..“According to the motion, Israel’s expanded military operations have intensified massacres and oppression, resulting in nearly 70,000 deaths -— mostly women and children—over 150,000 injuries, and widespread destruction of Gaza’s civilian infrastructure. The resolution further accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his administration of seeking to annex all Palestinian territories, including Gaza.”
​  According to Turkish Minute, the extraordinary summer session was called “at the request of all seven political parties represented in the assembly, comprising the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP), the pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Equality and Democracy Party (DEM Party), the New Path group, the Islamist New Welfare Party (YRP), the Workers’ Party of Turkey (TİP), the Labor Party (EMEP) and the Democrat Party.”
​  Many of the parliamentarians wore patterned Palestinian scarves or keffiyehs, to show their solidarity with the Palestinian peopleAll 442 members of parliament voted for the resolution, so that it passed unanimously. The body then went back into recess until October 1.
​  The move come days after Netanyahu declared that he accepted that the Ottoman Empire carried out a genocide against the Armenians in 1915-1917.​

​..Two days ago Israel murdered the civilian government of Yemen:
Israel killed the prime minister of Yemen’s Houthi government and several cabinet ministers in a Thursday airstrike on Sanaa, delivering the first successful strike against senior officials in the Iran-aligned group’s leadership, Reuters reported.​..
​..Prime Minister Ahmad Ghaleb al-Rahwi was the head of the civilian administration. He was not even a Houthi or member of Ansar Islam and had no influence on military things.
​  The wholesale killing of the civilian government of a dirt-poor country should be a wake-up call. So should be this:
Eighty-six percent of those who voted among the 500-member International Association of Genocide Scholars backed the resolution declaring Israel’s "policies and actions in Gaza" had met the legal definition set out in Article II of the 1948 UN convention on genocide.

​  Israeli foreign minister tells American counterpart of plans to annex occupied West Bank
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar informed US Secretary of State Marco Rubio of Israel’s intention to annex the occupied West Bank, local media said Sunday.
​  Israeli news outlet Walla, citing sources familiar with the matter, said Saar posted Rubio during their meeting in Washington on Wednesday about Israel’s preparations to annex the occupied territory in the coming months.
​  The broadcaster said a consensus has been reached within the Israeli government over the move, but there are disagreements on the timing of the announcement.
​  Israel’s Knesset (parliament) has already begun discussing the West Bank annexation in the last meeting, the sources said.​ On Aug. 20, Israel approved a major settlement project, called E1, which aims to split the occupied West Bank into two parts, cutting off the northern cities of Ramallah and Nablus from Bethlehem and Hebron in the south and isolating East Jerusalem.
​  The international community, including the UN, considers the Israeli settlements illegal under international law. The UN has repeatedly warned that continued settlement expansion threatens the viability of a two-state solution, a framework seen as key to resolving the decades-long Palestinian-Israeli conflict.​

​  Trump made the comments when asked if he was worried about the growing skepticism among young Republicans when it comes to the US relationship with Israel, and he noted the Israel lobby’s control over Congress, saying it has waned in recent years.
​  “But when, if you go back 20 years. I mean, I will tell you, Israel had the strongest lobby in Congress of anything or body, or of any company or corporation or state that I’ve ever seen. Israel was the strongest. Today, it doesn’t have that strong a lobby. It’s amazing,” Trump said.​
