>>23887736 Jonathan Cook: Breaking Out of Media Group-Thinkpast not notable

My very long two cents (sorry):

Bakers and (Board Owner) agreed a long time ago with anons, thatposting the title and link to an article without context is not notable, because there is no context or the subject. There has to be a meaning why it’s notable.

The unwritten or common sense rules, for a long time, has been and isunless a post includes at least one or two paragraphs(for context), withthe title and link, is notable, otherwise there nothing notable about it. If it doesn’t have those elements, bakers should just skip this bullshit. In reality it doesn’t even seem to be an anon posting it, but a poorly trained AI bot.

Basic rules:

• The work of anons when posting something notable has to have a partial part of the article in addition to title and link, so anons can understand the basic story of the article.

• I.e.using the title in this article does not in anyway explain why it important or interesting to read. Does “Breaking Out of Media Group-Think” title, even give you an idea whats it’s in the body?The title gives no idea that this article is about Gaza and Israel destroying Gaza, etc. And why reporters are failing to report the news.

Jonathan Cook: Breaking Out of Media Group-Think

November 21, 2025

The past two years have seen a catastrophic failure by Western journalists to report properly what amounts to an undoubted genocide in Gaza. This has been a low point even by the dismal standards set by our profession, and further reason why audiences continue to distrust us in ever greater numbers.

There is a comforting argument — comforting especially for those journalists who have failed so scandalously during this period — that seeks to explain, and excuse, this failure. Israel’s exclusion of Western reporters, so the claim goes, has made it impossible to determine exactly what is occurring on the ground in Gaza.

There are several obvious rejoinders to this.

First, why would any journalist give Israel the benefit of the doubt in Gaza — as we have been doing — when it is the party keeping out reporters? The media’s working assumption must be that Israel has excluded us because it has plenty to hide. The obligation must be on Israel to demonstrate that it is acting out of military necessity and proportionately. That cannot be the starting point, as it has been, of Western media coverage.

>>23887819, >>23888055 ICYMI: MTG announces resignation from Congress/great bennies for lifePN

I don’t think this is why Trump scolded her, it was her complaint that Trump went overseas too often and was not doing the work of America publicly, a pretty preposterous statement. Then she started demanding the Epstein release. This statement below was not the only cause. She chose a public forum instead of communicating with him privately to pick a fight. She made it public and generated division.

Statement from article

“The dramatic exit comes after Greene repeatedly demanded the immediate public release of the Jeffrey Epstein client list and files, which led to her being scolded and unendorsed by President Donald Trump in a series of posts to Truth Social.”

>>23888468

>>23888429

Regarding MTG, she supposedly read the Q posts, if she did she’d know that Trump, patriots and anons work is to save the world. And that fight is still going on viciously. Even if she didn’t, she knows how Trump has been persecuted by lies from the DS and left,so why pile on?

If she was aware of that, she wouldn’t pick a public fight about Epstein files with Trump’s foreign trips for America’s business. That strategy is how the left treats him.

I think maybe one of the real reasons, Trump made comments was because she seemed to be shunned or no longer a sort of advisor to him, and that pissed her off. She still claims she is America First, but not supporting the creator of America First.

I wonder how much money they gave her to do that. How did she get millions of dollars, in the first place! It couldn’t be due to her small business. I guess it’s the same way everyone gets rich in govt.

Whatever caused it, she definitely pushed Trump too far. But she made the worst mistake when she embraced the radical left and chiming their lies.

Personally I think she was hit with space lasers🤣

US officials to meet EU and Ukraine representatives in Geneva to discuss peace plan: LIVE UPDATES 1/2

A Russian delegation is not expected to take part, but consultations with American counterparts should be expected “very soon,” according to Reuters

US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are heading to Geneva for Ukraine peace talks planned for Sunday, according to Reuters. US Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll has already arrived, according to a US official.

US, European, and Ukrainian officials will meet in the Swiss city on Sunday to discuss Washington’s proposed peace plan for Ukraine, officials told Reuters on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Johannesburg on Saturday.

US Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll had already landed in Geneva for the talks, and a Ukrainian delegation will arrive tonight, according to sources. US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are due to be there on Sunday.

Kiev has reportedly been given until Thursday to accept the plan, with the possibility of extending the deadline in order to finalize the terms.

The sudden submission of the initiative to a politically weakened Zelensky, along with the release of an alleged draft of the text,has triggered immediate turmoil. Kiev’s European backers are now scrambling, with Western media calling their reaction an “emergency”response. Tensions are risingfurther as concerns grow over Zelensky’s ongoing corruption scandal.

The Kremlin has refused to engage in what it called “megaphone diplomacy,” following a series of vocal declarations of defiance from Brussels on Friday morning. European Council PresidentAntonio Costa openly admitted that theEU had not been informed about the plan. Zelensky has also held an emergency call with French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

“Only Mindich is better,” former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev wroteon his Telegram channel on Saturday, commenting on Andrey Yermak’s appointment to lead Ukraine’s delegation for talks on a US-proposed peace plan.“Great choice,” he added sarcastically.

Medvedev mocked the appointment as Yermak has recently been implicated in a $100 million scandal that has shaken Ukraine’s political landscape. The corruption case centers on a criminal network allegedly led by Timur Mindich, a former associate of Zelensky, who stands accused of siphoning funds from the state-owned nuclear operator Energoatom. Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) has placed Mindich and his chief financier, Aleksandr Tsukerman, on its wanted list, according to the country’s Ministry of Internal Affairs’ database.

The corruption investigation involving Zelensky’s circle is being frozen due to upcoming negotiations under pressure from European diplomats, Ukrainian journalist Anatoly Shariy has claimed, citing unnamed sources. He has accused Ukraine’s Western backers of shielding top Kiev officials.

Ukraine’sZelensky has approved a nine-person team for talks on a US-proposed plan to end the conflict with Russia. The group includes the head of the presidential office, Andrey Yermak, and former defense minister and current head of the National Security Council Rustem Umerov. Yermak will lead the delegation.

The negotiations will reportedly take place in Switzerland with US and European representatives present. “The main topic is the parameters of a future peace agreement,”Umerov said.

Yermak has been recently implicated in a major $100 million graft scandal under investigation by Ukraine’s anti-corruption bureau (NABU). Umerov has also faced separate corruption allegations.

10:54 GMT

Ukraine’sZelensky, together with leaders in France, Germany and across the EU, is working to craft a response that satisfies US demands without fully conceding to the proposed peace plan.

According to sources cited by Bloomberg, their strategy is to significantly revise key sections of the documentwhile framing the edits as constructive improvements rather than pushback. European officials are scrambling to secure more time as Washington pressures Kiev to accept the plan by next Thursday.

10:10 GMT

Berliner Zeitung reports that, despite public claims of surprise, theGerman government had known about the new US peace plan for Ukraine well in advance. According to multiple sources cited by the newspaper, security advisers in the Chancellor’s Office were informed as early as late October, contradicting Chief of Staff Thorsten Frei’s statement that Berlin had no prior knowledge of US-Russia talks.

A draft of the 28-point plan was sent to the Chancellery through secure channels in early November, along with signals that Washington was working on a phased path toward ending the conflict.Germany’s intelligence services and the National Security Council also reviewed the document=. Still, the Chancellery has publicly avoided commenting on details, with spokesman Stefan Kornelius saying Europe is only now beginning to coordinate its part in the process.

(I’m surprised that Merz and Germany was involved, the country has been preparing for war with Russia for a long time!)

Zelensky is sending a very important signal about Trump’s peace plan1/2(opinion)

The Ukrainian leader has left all options open in response to the 28-point draft – and that is a sensation in itself

It would be easy to misunderstand the 10-minute address that Ukraine’s leader Vladimir Zelensky released for his peopleand the world in response to the 28-point peace plan devised by Russia and the US and now circulating in draft form.

That’s because Zelensky’s speech was clearly designed to allow for several mutually contradictory interpretations: Was it an attempt to prepare the ground for, in essence, accepting the plan, even though its opponents caricature it as Ukraine’s de facto capitulation? Is the real message, on the contrary, that Zelensky will try to persuade Washington to add conditions that will sink the plan, while blaming Russia? Or is the beleaguered Ukrainian leader really just playing for time and desperately casting about for options, testing the public mood at home and reactions abroad?

Yet one thing is certain, although it was hidden in plain sight: Zelensky’s address was sensational – and that is no hyperbole – because of what he chose not to say. Namely, “no.”

Zelensky could easily have reiterated Kiev’s traditional “red lines.” Indeed, Ukraine’s UN representative has just done so. But, as the important Ukrainian publication Strana.ua noted,Zelensky did not say a word about, for instance, joining NATO. He also did not reiterate the usual refusal to surrender territory that Russia has not yet occupied.

Instead,Zelensky belabored generalitieswhich were wide open to divergent readings and even more divergent practical applications, such as the terms of his official oath of officeand the notion that Ukraine’s national interest must be taken into account. Spin 101, really.

Above all, Zelensky belabored the conveniently vague and elastic idea of “dignity.” Again and again,he reassured his audience that, no matter what happens, Ukraine and Ukrainians will preserve their dignity.

Zelensky is currently deeply embroiled in the nauseatingly sordid Energoatom corruption scandal, and this is sure to be just the tip of an iceberg of sleaze in wartime. Therefore, his invocation of a virtue he cannot possibly claim for himself and his revolting friends must have felt appallingly creepy to many of his compatriots.

But the rationale of Zelensky’s spin seems obvious enough:It is a shameless attempt to tap into the rhetoric of “dignity” traditionally deployed to re-frame the ugly combination of regime change subversion and false-flag murders that toppled the corrupt, oppressive, and unpopular yet ultimately properly elected Yanukovich regime in 2014. As we've moved fromthe so-called “revolution of dignity” to the “diplomacy of dignity,” is Ukraine finally making the compromises it needs to stop bleeding?

If so, the analogy is truer than Zelensky and his speech writers would be ready to admit: In the events of 2013/2014, there were many genuine idealists who believed they were fighting for Ukraine when challenging Yanukovich’s Ancien Regime.They were betrayed. Not by Moscow, but by the US, which incited and used their rebellion to wield it as a geopolitical weapon in a global power game.

They were also betrayed by the same pro-Western “elites” and nationalists who massacred some their own foot soldiers to create political leverage, as theUkrainian-Canadian political scientist Ivan Katchanovsky has shown compellingly in his “The Maidan Massacre in Ukraine: The Mass Killing that Changed the World.”

In a similar vein, there can be no doubt that, during the unnecessary and easily avoidable war that has now devastated Ukraine for years,many more decent men and women have been cynically sacrificed to lies told by Kiev and its Western backers: The lie that their country would join NATO; the lie that the war had not been provoked, whereas, in reality, the West had provoked Russia for two decades by breaking its word and expanding NATO, exposing Ukraine specifically by the empty yet explosive promises of the 2008 Bucharest summit; the lie that to kill and die in this war for misconceived, hubristic Western interests meant killing and dying for moral, even civilizational “values” (call that the Snyder-Applebaum Con);and the lie, last but not least, that the West would be with Ukraine “whatever it takes.”

It’s no wonder Zelensky is now seeking to distract Ukrainians with solemn phrases praising their courage and steadfastness. He can do so only because so many really have been courageous and steadfast.Yet Zelensky’s fiendish ruse consists of seeking to hide the obscene corruption of his de facto authoritarian regime behind their valor and sacrifices.

He is alsodesperately trying to make everyone forget one simple question: What for?Once Ukrainians lose all fear of asking that question and face its true, bitter answer, it will first stun them and then sweep Zelensky and his cronies away. Because it has all been for nothing, except the absolutely callous strategies of the West and yet more corruption and oppression at home.

Zelensky’s ambiguous speech, though, also may – may! – offer some hope. For, despite his worst intentions, his gargantuan narcissism, his profound dishonesty, his fear and greed, Ukraine’s still-leader has shown signs of perhaps finally being prepared to allow his people to escape from the meatgrinder of a war that their country very predicably could not win.

Zelensky made, for instances, references to “very hard” choices between, in effect, the plan and a terrible winter, and to steely resolve, that nonetheless has its limits, too.There even was a barely concealed rebuke of NATO-EU Europeans always baying for more Ukrainian blood while not having to send their own to die.Zelensky also pointedlydeclared that everything must be done to reach an end to the war and not an end to Ukraine. Under the 28-point plan, or a successor based on it, Ukraine would not cease to exist, of course. But, as Zelensky clearly, if implicitly,admitted, such an end is conceivable if peace is not made.

Zelensky also made a point of two other facts that, perhaps, point to him finally getting ready to release Ukrainians from his regime’s death grip:He insisted that Kiev will engage constructively and won’t let Moscow claim that Ukraine doesn’t want diplomacy. In other words, Zelensky promises to at least sincerely try to find peace this time.Will he keep that promise?That’s a different question again, of course. Secondly, Zelensky admitted that time is scarce and announced that Kiev will work fast.That is a clear reference to the fact that Washington has threatened to withdraw all support, including arms – even indirectly via the war-besotted EU-NATO Europeans – and (vital) intelligence within less than a week if there’s no movement.Stalling time is over, or so it seems at least.

The opponents of peace in Ukraine and the West and especially in NATO-EU Europe, the false “friends” from hellwho cannot get enough of Ukrainians dying for broken Western promises and a daft attempt to cut down Russia that has already failed,are mobilizing to prevent peace. Déjà vu all over again, as a great American sage might have said.

But it is obvious that true friendship for Ukraine, the real Ukraine, with actual living human beings who should stay alive for a better future,means finally ending this catastrophe. Yes, on terms that will – to one extent or the other – reflect that Russia has the upper hand.That is the only way forward, and it is not the same as “capitulation.”It is a compromise based on reality, not on the silly dreams of vain US academics in Ukrainian embroidered shirts or German “military experts”whose link to reality seems to be about as robust as that of the German leadership huddling in a Berlin bunker in early 1945.

It’s time to stop sacrificing human beings to perverse fantasies. If – if! – Ukraine’s Zelensky has finally been compelled to accept this, then there is a chance for peace.

Trump envoy issues ultimatum to Ukraine – FT

The tone of the meeting in Kiev, during which the US detailed its peace deal, was “nauseating,” an EU official told the outlet

The administration of US President Donald Trump has issued an ultimatum to Ukraine, saying that Vladimir Zelensky must sign its peace plan by Thursday, the Financial Times has reported, citing Western European officials.

US Secretary of the Army Daniel Driscoll, who earlier discussed the US proposal to settle the conflict between Russia and Ukraine with Zelensky,relayed the details to the EU and UK ambassadors and other officials during a meeting in Kiev on Friday evening, according to the paper.

=A high-ranking official described the tone of the gathering at the residence of the US chargé d’affaires in the Ukrainian capital as “nauseating,” it said.

According to the sources,Driscoll showed up late and used obscene language to make Washington’s point clear. “We need to get this sh*t done,” he reportedly said. (KEK that’s the way to do it the EU tyrants.)

A senior official told the FT thatthe secretary insisted that “we have a narrow window for peace – President Trump wants peace now.”

One of the ambassadors cited Driscoll as saying that “the US Armed Forces love Ukraine… but it isthe honest US military assessment that Ukraine is in a very bad position.”

Trump’s envoy added that “security guarantees”for Ukraine are part of the US plan and will be discussed with the Western Europeans and Kiev in the coming days, according to the diplomat.

The FT said thatDriscoll had turned down calls by EU and UK officials to put more pressure on Russia, instead of suing for peace now. “It turns out this is even worse than we thought,” another senior EU official briefed on the meeting told the paper. (The EU’s plan to paint Russia as demons from Hell didn’t work, and now the little tyrants of the EU are pissed at the U.S.. it’s obvious the Eu is a death cult.)

The US peace plan has not been officially disclosed, but, according to media reports, it,among other things, calls upon Ukraine to withdraw troops from the parts of Russia’s Donbass it still controls, downsize its military, and give up on NATO aspirationsin exchange for Western security guarantees.

The push by Washington to persuade Ukraine to agree to itsroadmap comes amid a corruption scandal in Kiev, which, according to analysts,has significantly weakened Zelensky’s political position.

Zelensky said on Friday that Ukraine must brace for a tough choice between accepting the “28 difficult points” in Washington’s plan or risk losing a key backer in the face of the US.

According to Russian President Vladimir Putin,the American proposal could “form the basis of a final peace settlement.”

EU seeks to rewrite Trump’s Ukraine peace plan - Bloomberg(KEK)!

Kiev’s European backers are reportedly trying to disguise major changes to the plan as “constructive updates”

Kiev’s backers in the EU are seeking to rewrite most of US President Donald Trump’s peace plan for Ukraine, Bloomberg has reported, citing sources familiar with the matter.

The US presented Ukraine with its new framework for ending the conflict against Russia this week and is now pressing Kiev to accept it by Thursday.

The 28-point planinclude various provisions which have long been opposed by Kiev and its Western European backers. Ukraine would have to withdraw its forces from the parts of the Donbass region it still controls, downsize its military, and give up its NATO aspirations.

The EU nations are currently trying to “buy Ukraine more time” and postpone the US-outlined deadline, according to Bloomberg. The approach taken by Kiev’s Western European backersessentially amounts to trying to rewrite much of the proposed document while concealing the changes as “constructive updates,” sources familiar with the matter told the outlet.

Washington, however, has signaled it was not ready to drastically amend the peace plan it had drafted. Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky on Friday said the country was facing “one of the most difficult moments in our history,” facing a choice between accepting “28 difficult points” or risking losing its “key partner.” According to media reports,Washington has already threatened to cut Kiev offfrom military aid and intelligence sharing should the plan end up rejected.

Asked about Zelensky’s take on the situation,Trump said the Ukrainian leader “is going to have to accept something.” Ukraine now faces “a cold winter,”while its energy infrastructure sites “have been under attack, to put it mildly,”he pointed out.

“He will have to like it, and if he does not like it, then, you know, they should just keep fighting, I guess,” the US president said.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has confirmed that Moscow has received the American plan, adding that theproposal has not yet been discussed “in detail.” The draft proposal could become “the basis of a final peace settlement,”he stated.

https://www.rt.com/news/628186-eu-trump-plan-rewrite/

(Trump has been polite to the EU, but he will not allow them to change the basic and most significant points. Once Ukraine is out of war, the EU will have to provide more money to Ukraine. The EU will not want to do it unless Kiev still keeping the war going with Russia.The EU is almost the biggest loser, because they couldn’t start WWIII with Russia by proxy. And the EU will have to explain how they are so broke to the people.Trump knows the EU plans and has outdone them every time, but they still do not understand they lost!)

Ukraine’s victory over Russia is a ‘fantasy’ – Vance

Only “smart people living in the real world” could stop the fighting between Moscow and Ukraine, the US vice president has said

US Vice President J.D. Vance has defended Washington’s plan for settling the Ukraine conflict, arguing thatits opponents are wrong to think that increasing pressure on Russia could change the situation on the battlefield.

On Friday, FormerSenate Republican leader Mitch McConnell claimedon X that the proposal, which the administration of US President Donald Trump submitted to both Moscow and Kiev earlier this week, wasa “capitulation” and “disastrous” to American interests.(what are our interests Mitch? When is brain damaged Mitch leaving the Senate.)

Senator Jeanne Shaheen, the most senior Democrat on the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, told CNN that “this is a [Russian President Vladimir] Putin plan for Ukraine,”insisting that the White House should instead ramp up secondary sanctionsagainst Russia’s trading partnersand supply Ukraine with long-range weapons. (One thing is sure, Democrats and Republicans both love war and conflict)

Vance wrote in a post on X on Saturday that“every criticism of the peace framework the administration is working on either misunderstands the framework or misstates some critical reality on the ground.”

“There is a fantasy that if we just give more money, more weapons, or more sanctions, victory is at hand,”he wrote.

According to the vice president,peace between Moscow and Kiev could be achieved by “smart people living in the real world,” but not by “failed diplomats or politicians living in a fantasy land.”

The US plan has not been officially disclosed, but media reports have claimed that, among other things, it calls upon Kiev to withdraw troops from the parts of Russia’s Donbass it still controls, downsize its military, and give up on NATO aspirations in exchange for Western security guarantees. (I wonder what has not been disclosed by the U.S., interesting?)

Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky claimed on Friday that his country is now forced to choose between accepting the “28 difficult points” in the proposal or the risk of losing its key backer, the US.

Trump insisted laterthat the Ukrainian leader “will have to like”the US plan or face the prospect of fighting Russia through the “cold winter.” According to Financial Times, Washington has issued an ultimatum to Kiev to accept its roadmap by Thursday.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that the US plan has not yet been discussed “in detail,” but suggested thatit could eventually“form the basis of a final peace settlement.” (What does that mean, eventually?)

Brazil’s ex-president Bolsonaro detained by police

The country’s former leader had been under house arrest in Brasilia appealing a conviction for plotting a coup

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who had been under house arrest in the country’s capital, Brasilia, has been detained by police officers, his lawyer has confirmed.

In September, the Brazilian Supreme Court sentenced Bolsonaro to 27 years in prison after he was found guilty of attempting to overturn the results of the country’s 2022 presidential election. The 70-year-old, who denies any wrongdoing, had been under house arrest since early August, appealing the ruling.

Bolsonaro’s attorney Celso Vilardi did not provide the reason for his client’s detention, but it happened shortly before the former president’s supporters had planned to hold a vigil near his home.

According to Reuters, Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered Bolsonaro to be taken into custody,citing the risk of the activists hampering the police monitoring of his house arrest. The judge also pointed to evidence of tampering with the politician’s ankle monitor the night before, the agency said

Moraes also argued in his order that the gathering near Bolsonaro’s home could pave the way for his “eventual escape,” saying that the former president had previously considered seeking asylum in the Argentine embassy in Brasilia.

A federal police representative told the media thatBolsonaro has already undergone the custody intake process in the capital.

In July, US President Donald Trump, who established close relations with Bolsonaro during his first term, called the former president’s persecution by the government of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and a “witch hunt” and slapped 50% tariffs on certain Brazilian goods. However, earlier this month Washington began rolling back some of the levies.
