🇨🇦 Prime Minister Mark Carney Calls for “Zionist Palestinian State”
counterpunch.org/2025/06/27/pr

$100M missing f. Jewish National Fund Canada’s tax returns. Where did the money go?
justpeaceadvocates.ca/100-mill
* JNF failed to report over $100M CDN in donations since 2003
* serious questions regarding JNF activities, preferential treatment given to Zionist charities.

I use an 'old' Audio-Technica AT825 for field recording and it's an awesome device for this. But I never had to research to get a new one, and the ones you find on ebay are often quite damaged and need fixing. Any other field recorder that could recommend a ~300$ mic for field recording, not a shotgun mic, but to capture the ambiant sounds and stereo.

President and former 5-star general Dwight D. Eisenhower in his farewell address to Congress and the American people noted that “we have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions.” Nevertheless, he added, using the phrase for the first time, “we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.” - a warning we’d be well advised to revisit today. #Military #MilitaryIndustrialComplex #MIC

@dawning_sun @Rainer_Rehak Hi, thx for alert to rainer's session ! Will watch it for sure. Props to him + Fiff, etc. for taking the heavy bits on ! Will correct this in our article. But also imp.to note: Huff stage is NOT a ptimary stage ( typical sidelining ). Nor is it the same as dealing w/ the issue w/ human rights activists from the region, and giving a platform to voices who are being repressed and have much more 'stake' in the situations ! #38c3 #Lavender #MIC xlterrestrials.substack.com/p/
