Maybe I should prepare a newspaper issue for when Iran drops the dollar?
My gut tells me the rumors are true.
Reason tells me the rumors are either false or a huge deal, because if it was no big deal, mainstream media would be running their canned responses already. It seems like the American military industrial complex was so caught off guard by this, big players are keeping talking heads quiet while they scramble to make moves that rely on being early with the information.

Fixed this so there's very little reason to have 2 different versions of each PDF anymore. May stop doing it as it may be better to just cut that 1 extra moment out of the publishing rush for each issue.

This won't matter until later anyway since it's just me right now and I'm only printing the 2nd gen copies

2024-04-19 21:12:23 UTC

Been having each issue's PDF printout refer back to the same issue on nostr, but since a nostr URL isn't assigned until the post is made & can't properly support editing at that URL, this requires me to wait until after posting the full issue before adding a link to the PDF to my nostr profile. I'm also doing 2 versions of each PDF, the first with a link to the nostr copy, and the second with links to both the nostr copy and the first PDF. I think I should be more efficient in future issues by having the first gen PDF not link to the nostr copy, so that the nostr copy can link to it. Then the list of PDF links updated with each issue can still contain the 2nd gen printout. I'll probably also start doing the link lists as replies to each issue instead of standalone posts

Google fires 28 employees for protesting Google’s Israeli cloud deal “Project Nimbus”
According to Wikipedia:
In March, a Google Cloud software engineer was fired after a video of them shouting "I refuse to build technology that empowers genocide” went viral, in reference to Nimbus.
Shortly thereafter, dozens of employees participated in sit-ins at Google's New York & Sunnyvale Headquarters. Sunnyvale Police were called to remove employees from a day-long occupation of Google Cloud chief executive Thomas Kurian's office. Nine employees were charged with criminal misdemeanor and 28 were terminated.
Google claims Israel are prohibited by terms of service from using its services to engage in violence, and the contract is for workloads related to "finance, healthcare, transportation, and education."
Google Cloud Platform's AI tools could give the Israeli military and security services the capability for facial detection, automated image categorization, object tracking & sentiment analysis — tools that have previously been used by U.S. Customs and Border Protection for border surveillance. The terms Israel set for the project contractually forbid Amazon and Google from halting services due to boycott pressure. The tech companies are also forbidden from denying service to any particular government entities.

UNPRECEDENTED ESCALATION CONTINUES IN MIDDLE EASTERN WAR OVER OIL & RELIGION:
ISRAEL REPORTEDLY STRIKES IRAN AGAIN AFTER IRAN'S RECENT RETALIATION, FIRST REPORTS OF DIRECT ATTACKS BETWEEN IRAN & ISRAEL SINCE COLD WAR
INFO REMAINS UNCLEAR, VARIOUS SOURCES CONTRADICT EACH OTHER
FURTHER ESCALATION SLOWED AS FEAR INCREASES WORLDWIDE
GAZA DEATH COUNT OF MOSTLY WOMEN & CHILDREN PASSES 34,000 UNDER CONTINUED ISRAELI & AMERICAN WAR ON PALESTINE
ASSANGE & SNOWDEN STILL CRIMINALIZED FOR WHISTLEBLOWING ON DERANGED WARLORDS
A week ago, Iran launched a barrage of missiles into Israel, resulting in 1 death: an Israeli child. This attack came in response to an attack on Iran's consulate in Syria. The US and other powers urged Israel to frame the lack of further casualties as a win, restraining from further attacks, as tensions in the region threaten catastrophic consequences for the world. Israel issued increasingly explicit warnings to Iran over the following days, ignoring the warnings publicly issued by the US. However, Israel has not initially claimed credit for this new retaliatory attack on Iran.
It's dubious how the US claims to be urging Israel to de-escalate. Biden hasn't even offered pardons to Edward Snowden or Julian Assange, let alone actually pardoned both, to begin earning trust.
There doesn't seem to be much likelihood that the US will stop providing aid to Israel, including weapons specially designed for committing terrorist attacks. American leadership is clearly choosing to gamble a regional war in the Middle East, hoping to continue expanding the global influence of the military industrial complex with violence against fossil-fuel-rich adversarial powers like Iran & Palestine (who the US just vetoed UN membership for).
Palestinian health authorities have reported the death toll in Gaza to surpass 34,000 today, still mostly women and children. At least 8,000 more are missing. According to the UN, more than 18,000 children have also been orphaned in the onslaught since October 7.
About half of the people in Gaza are under 18, due to high birth rates driven by an instinctive rush to maintain the population against Israeli oppression. Gaza grows increasingly cramped with its growing population, as Israel has spent years blocking most entry and exit from Gaza's small land area. This has gotten much worse since October 7, as Israel has destroyed buildings all over Gaza, leaving vast numbers of people homeless in massive refugee camps. Of course, cramped space has become the least of their worries in this time, as they face bombings, shootings, and a lack of sufficient food, safe water, medical resources, and sanitary facilities.
It makes sense that Iran has suggested they don't plan to retaliate this time. They surely did not intend for their recent attack on Israel to result in the lone death of a young Israeli girl; it's a worst-case outcome. It's demoralizing to everyone on Iran's side and it incites the wrath of Israel's side. Iran's best bet now is to accept the loss of this exchange and focus on preparing for whatever Israel will do next. Iran can't afford to keep making moves that give the appearance of wanting escalation; they must wait for Israel to make moves to start the war.
It also makes sense that Israel would ignore warnings & escalate further. Biden told Netanyahu to frame the outcome of Saturday's attack as a win. The death of a little girl is not a win for either side. Of course Netanyahu would react. Both sides still want oil, after all.
Ukraine has reportedly also followed the lead, ignoring US warnings against drone operations in Russia.
-------
Al Jazeera live blog's recap of these events
https://archive.ph/B22XI • from today
Iran says its air defence systems shot down three drones in Isfahan province early in the morning. There were no reports of damages, but an investigation is under way to determine where the drones were launched from and who was behind the attack, officials said.
Israeli officials have not commented, but the reports came after Israel threatened to attack Iran following Iran’s retaliatory strikes on April 13. Meanwhile, unnamed US officials told media outlets that Israel had launched an attack on Iran.
There were also reports that mini-drones were flown by “infiltrators from inside”.
Iranian officials have sought to downplay the attack, with a senior official saying there was no plan for retaliation.
While countries around the world called for de-escalation, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken refused to comment on the reported Israeli attack, only saying after the conclusion of Group of Seven (G7) talks in Italy that the United States “has not been involved in any offensive operation”.
Even so, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said the US told the G7 foreign ministers that it received “last minute” information about the attack on Iran.

After today's issue, I think I'll switch to posting individual articles from a separate key and keeping this one focused on full issues. It should help make things less spammy if people actually start following me on nostr.

I hope I’m not wasting paper too severely. Since this Calvin & Hobbes strip about 35 years ago, the extinction rate has skyrocketed. In the next 15 minutes, another creature will find itself the last of its kind. Look up “the anthropocene.” A recent study found humans have wiped out 60-70% of the wildlife the planet was home to 50 years ago. Now, world leaders seem to be fighting atmospheric pollution with atmospheric pollution. We really need investment in aerospace & robotics to make a sunshield, or we risk dooming every species.
PDF printouts of this newspaper should always fit on one double-sided page, in black & white so supporters can even use recycled kraft paper for printing.

This comic strip and attached blurb is another recurring element in the paper so far

2024-04-19 13:40:27 UTC

I think newspapers should have recurring elements other than crossword puzzles and stuff. I don't see why the criminalization of whistleblowers as high-profile as Edward Snowden or Julian Assange should stop being headline news without being resolved.

Despite widespread delusion that “the pandemic is over,” lab-leaked COVID-19 continues to be one of the common causes of death and disability for some regions across the world, including many American states
Israel continues to have free healthcare for its people; Iran continues trying to achieve the same; Americans refuse
South Korea continues widespread mask-wearing to fight the spread of any airborne pathogens; Americans refuse
Russia continues drifting away from USSR's goal of defeating flu worldwide; Americans forget
In 2020, humanity underwent an unprecedented global effort to suppress the spread of coronaviruses. Before the experimental vaccines were deployed to replace more effective masking and social distancing, the less virulent flu and common cold coronaviruses were temporarily defeated by such levels of masking and social distancing involved in trying to hold back manmade bioweapon COVID-19. If the USSR still existed, it probably would have taken the disappearance of the flu as proof of how effective simple measures could be in global cooperation, taking this opportunity to champion its plan for a global cooperative of health authorities working to control diseases. Strong leaders would see the opportunity to help humans live longer, healthier lives worldwide with periods of masking and social distancing every year or 2 in order to suppress seasonal cycles of airborne diseases. In the real world, jellybean Putin allows Russians and others to forget global health plans, as he goes along with the capitalist plan to use lab-made COVID as a bioweapon against global populations.
Apparently, the flu isn't deadly enough for the world's most powerful people, because they want all living individuals to consume as much as possible, but they don't like how it will end, so they use death to limit overall consumption without limiting individual consumption for the living. This leaves little reason to train enough doctors for everyone. It may also be why they created COVID-19 in the first place, and why they continue funding research in the “gain of function” field worldwide. This “gain of function” research takes pathogens and engineers them into more dangerous versions using specialized laboratories such as the ones at Wuhan Institute of Virology, where COVID originated. Those involved claim the goal is not to develop bioweapons; instead, they say the purpose is to be a step ahead of evolution, testing how viruses may evolve in the future, developing ways to control them. By supplying this information to the global cooperative of health authorities we don't have, we can defeat both natural and manmade diseases such as COVID, exactly like we haven't done. There seems to be widespread brain damage preventing people from caring. There are atmospheric pollutants like lead and microplastics, which you're eating, drinking, breathing every day - even this newspaper contains pollutants (don't eat it).

A version of this article has been in both issues so far. This version will appear in today's issue, where I'm planning to start posting standalone articles separate from the full issue. I intend to continue including this article as a recurring element in the newspaper, because I think people are too eager to forget about COVID.

RETRACTION: SEIZED CARGO SHIP MSC ARIES NOT YET RELEASED BY IRANIAN NAVY
On Sunday, this newspaper mistakenly reported that the MSC Aries, a cargo ship seized by Iran, had been quickly released. This mistake was caused by an inexperienced one-man news team rushing to beat mainstream media's reporting by relying on live tracking websites which report updated locations for cargo ships worldwide. Online position reporting indicated the Aries was again underway to India, but it turns out these systems shouldn't be relied on for a situation like this without confirmation from human sources.
An update from Mediterranean Shipping Company on Wednesday reported that the crew is still stuck in Iranian waters for days now. They are reported safe and the company is working to get them released, as well as the cargo. The company's statement also corrected widespread reporting which called them the owners of the vessel; it is in fact owned by Gortal Shipping Inc. and merely chartered by MSC. Both of these companies appear to be under the umbrella of Zodiac Maritime, owned by an Israeli billionaire.

TRAGIC AFTERMATH OF SATURDAY'S BOMBINGS
ISRAEL'S STRONGEST ENEMY BOTCHES ENTRY INTO WAR, LETTING ONE ISRAELI CHILD GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS THIS WAR'S FIRST CASUALTY BY IRAN
SMALL BOMBARDMENT ON ISRAEL MOSTLY STOPPED BY AMERICAN DEFENSIVE SUPPORT; NO OTHER DEATHS REPORTED; OIL PRICES DOWN

Israel commits massacres outside Iran and issues further warning in response
Gaza struggles to count deaths of at least 20,000 adults + 13,800 kids since Oct 7
Israel adds to total by striking targets such as Nuseirat refugee camp in response to Iran
ASSANGE & SNOWDEN STILL CRIMINALIZED FOR WHISTLEBLOWING ON DERANGED WARLORDS
2 weeks ago, after months of Israeli war crimes against Iran's allies across the region, Iran's own consulate in Syria was hit with a deadly attack.
A response came 2 days ago with a warning shot of missiles fired from Iran and allies into Israel, whose military claimed to intercept 99% of them.
No fatalities were immediately reported, but a little girl was reported to be in critical condition, and later died. She is reported to have been hit by shrapnel from a missile which was prevented by defense systems from reaching the city it targeted.
No offers have been made for any of these defense systems to protect hospitals in Gaza from missile strikes like the one the US and Israel jointly claim was accidentally launched at Al-Ahli hospital by Palestinian Islamic Jihad in October. The US and Israel have probably waited too long to release aerial footage supporting their claim, despite extensive aerial surveillance covering the small area of the Gaza Strip at all times.
Conspiracy theorists have pointed out that the American military industrial complex (including the Israeli military) wouldn't hesitate to kill its own side's civilians during enemy attacks in order to blame enemies. However, it wouldn't be reasonable for anyone but the girl’s family to demand proof in this matter. For the rest of the world, it must be treated as possible that this did or did not happen exactly as reported.
Either way, it is undeniably a tragic failure on Iran's part to have prompted the death of a little girl and zero adults during their foray into this war. It doesn't help that Iran remained passive as thousands of Palestinian children were killed by Israel, only to finally cite the death of an Iranian military leader as justification for striking. Perhaps a warning shot of missiles is also never a wise idea, as military leaders around the world might repeatedly learn the hard way, in their constant struggle to understand the concept of missiles.
While Iranian leaders are surely praying over this outcome, allies across the region are thankful for this direct assistance finally being provided by Iran, a country with much more military force available than any of the others. The resistance cannot see any path to victory without Iran, which is always in such tension with Israel that its involvement is seen as a precursor to any possible support from other formidable powers of the Islamic community: Turkey, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, where leaders haven't been trying to enter the war.
One member of the Israeli war cabinet commented on how Hamas, the smallest group fighting Israel, has been the most dangerous threat. “The weakest enemy in the Middle East has done us the most damage,” he told reporters at a conference. This statement subtly casts light on Iran doing the least damage as the strongest enemy in the region. Meanwhile, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani says the world “should appreciate Iran’s restraint in recent months” and remember the brutal force always being shown by the empire Iran is fighting against.
Between the launch of the missiles and the sad outcome's reveal, people in Iran had a wide range of reactions. Many celebrated, while many others formed long lines at gas stations. While Iran is rich in oil, they have long struggled to develop their refinery industry, making it wise for the people of Iran to stock up on gasoline at this crossroads of international instability.
In the immediate aftermath of the attack, as most of it had been intercepted and there didn't seem to be much of an aftermath, the US dollar and Israeli shekel gained value against oil. The US dollar always gains value against oil when people expect less warfare, and loses value when the expectations for warfare increase. This is because the US is mainly funded by inflation, and increased warfare comes with increased cost, resulting in more dollars being printed into the military industrial complex (including the oil industry). In this case, the effect is especially strong. The dollar is under threat from the worldwide uprising against this American military industrial complex. If the US and Israel could displace and/or genocide Palestine while taking over Iran, that would probably buy the dollar some time. If Iran can instead lead an alliance to show inspiring resistance against Israel and turn Saudi Arabia against the US, that's probably game over for the petrodollar. Either of these seem possible, or anything in between, so the situation in Israel is the biggest factor to look at right now in trying to guess what will happen to the dollar (and when).
In the US, President Biden has been trying to portray hesitancy around his involvement in war crimes. For the past few weeks, his statements have made it sound as though he's just along for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's wild ride, begging him to stop making the American people help with war crimes, but seeing no way out. It's a strategy to keep the general public calm by acting increasingly aligned with the public interest as elections approach, to make it feel more like votes matter. This has been well-timed with the weeks leading up to Iran joining the war, as the next Presidential election cycle is gaining prominence, and now Biden can use Iran to drum up support while saying he's tried to avoid war crimes.
Over the past 2 days, Biden has been making the most of the opportunity provided by Iran's attack. He's promising more military aid to Israel while they continue to massacre people in Gaza, Lebanon, and elsewhere, but only if Israel helps Biden look more heroic by giving him credit for delaying escalation with Iran. He reportedly told Netanyahu “you got a win - take it” in a discussion after Saturday's thwarted attack. Netanyahu reportedly did not ask Biden about Presidential pardons for Edward Snowden or Julian Assange a single time before, during, or after this conversation. Today, Israel warned Iran that there are still plans for further response to Saturday's attack.
If Biden and Netanyahu cannot displace and/or genocide Palestine and get away with it, then Netanyahu will have to serve as a scapegoat, whether willingly or unwillingly. Biden may find himself in the same position, despite his recent efforts to avoid it. Mainstream media will want some narrative to feed the general public about how leadership is changing and the new leadership can be seen as unrelated to the decision-makers that have crushed Gaza and escalated conflict across the Middle East. Blaming Netanyahu might not look good enough.
In addition to the one girl reported dead as a direct result of Iran's attack (and aside from Israel's attacks on neighboring states), there may have been other murders in Israel on the same day inspired by the attack or considered linked to it.

Despite widespread delusion that “the pandemic is over,” lab-leaked COVID-19 continues to be one of the common causes of death and disability for some regions across the world, including many American states
Israel continues to have free healthcare for its people; Iran continues trying to achieve the same; Americans refuse
South Korea continues widespread mask-wearing to fight the spread of any airborne pathogens; Americans refuse
Russia continues drifting away from USSR's goal of defeating flu worldwide; Americans forget
In 2020, humanity underwent an unprecedented global effort to suppress the spread of coronaviruses. Before the vaccines came and Biden started pretending the pandemic was over, the less virulent flu and common cold coronaviruses were temporarily defeated by the levels of masking and social distancing involved in trying to hold back manmade bioweapon COVID-19. If the USSR still existed, it probably would have taken this opportunity to champion its plan for a global cooperative of health authorities working to control diseases. Periods of masking and social distancing every year or two would be proposed by strong leaders who would see the opportunity to help humans live longer in general. In the real world, jellybean Putin allows the world to forget about such plans, as he goes along with the capitalist plan to use lab-made COVID-19 as a bioweapon against global populations.
Apparently, the flu isn't deadly enough for the world's most powerful people, because they want all living individuals to consume as much as possible, but they don't like how it will end, so they use death to limit overall consumption without limiting individual consumption for the living. This may be why they created COVID-19 in the first place, and why they continue funding research in the “gain of function” field worldwide.
This “gain of function” research takes pathogens and engineers them into more dangerous versions using specialized laboratories such as the ones at Wuhan Institute of Virology, where COVID-19 originated. People involved in this field, including those funding it, claim the goal is not to develop bioweapons; instead, they say the purpose is to be a step ahead of evolution, testing how viruses may evolve in the future, developing ways to control them. By supplying this information to the global cooperative of health authorities we don't have, we can defeat both natural and manmade diseases such as COVID, exactly like we haven't done. There seems to be widespread brain damage preventing people from caring. There are atmospheric pollutants like lead and microplastics, which you're eating, drinking, breathing every day - even this newspaper contains pollutants (don't eat it).

IRAN RESPONDS TO ISRAELI ATTACK ON ITS CONSULATE: OFFICIALLY JOINS WAR AS MOST POWERFUL OF ALLIED FORCES ACTIVELY FIGHTING AGAINST ISRAELI MILITARY
CARGO SHIP DETERRED FROM SAILING IN WRONG WATERS
SMALL BOMBARDMENT ON ISRAEL MOSTLY STOPPED BY AMERICAN DEFENSIVE SUPPORT, NO DEATHS IMMEDIATELY REPORTED
Gaza death count passes 8,400 women + 12,200 men + 13,000 kids as Israel continues months of bombing & intense blockading of entries, exits
Assange & Snowden still criminalized for whistleblowing on deranged warlords
Biden has recently been claiming to pressure Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu over civilian deaths, after Israeli forces targeted yet another group of aid workers with yet another deadly airstrike in recent days, including an American citizen. Yesterday, in a Presidential statement which did not mention any chance of Presidential pardons for Edward Snowden or Julian Assange, Biden took pride in deploying aircraft and ballistic missile defense systems which were able to intercept “nearly all of the incoming drones and missiles.”
No offers have been made for any of these defense systems to protect hospitals in Gaza from missile strikes like the one the US and Israel jointly claim was accidentally launched at Al-Ahli hospital by Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The US and Israel have probably waited too long to release aerial footage supporting this claim, despite extensive aerial surveillance covering the small area of the Gaza Strip at all times.
Under Biden's direction, the White House is reiterating military support for Israel, suggesting the US will continue its decades of taxpayer-backed contracts buying expensive computerized American bombs to give Israel.
The taxpaying public is repaid for this expense in the form of cheap energy prices, with Israel helping the United States project military power in the oil-rich Middle East. Energy sources are becoming a focal point in this conflict, as the world is running out of fossil fuels for consumers, and we've learned in recent years about large deposits right in the Levant basin.
Bomb-making experts have criticized America's high-tech military aid for Israel, debating whether there may be better or cheaper ways to blow up hungry children. On the other hand, human rights advocates have been increasingly on the alert throughout the recent emergence of today's conflict. Many call for an end to the blockade and the bombing, arguing that people deserve food and a chance at life. Some say terrorizing the Islamic community just makes more terrorists in response, stirring up religious conflict without really leading to control over fossil fuel access. Other people simply say they'd rather face high gas prices than news like this.
Middle Eastern countries such as Palestine and Israel have good reason to be defensive of their fossil fuels. Secular leaders in the Middle East see climate change as a more immediate threat to their home than to places like North America. Islamic leadership is more focused on competing with those outside Islam in general. These groups are increasingly united in needing to protect themselves and each other for survival against outside forces like the United States, where the general public demands low gas prices, and the United States is thusly compelled to work with Israel on Israel's terms.
Yesterday's attack came with other countries across the region assisting Iran, days after Israeli forces attacked Iran's consulate in the Syrian capital of Damascus. The attackers killed Iranian officials there, including Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Before the attack, Iran had already promised to defend Gaza, where families are walled into a destroyed cityscape, bombed, shot, and starved by Israeli forces with American support. This escalation has been seen as inevitable, with each country preparing in the months and years leading up to it. Continued escalation will likely be slow. Iranian forces seem intimidated by Israel's nuclear arsenal, resulting in this attack being so small, and they've said this matter can now “be deemed concluded.” Israeli leadership is also constrained by people who don't want to see the world burn. Neither side can afford to risk losing support, so they must carefully provoke each other to ensure each of their own populations are equally provoked.
Israel and the US may carefully plan a counterattack, or may pretend to seek peace with Iran while retaliating with more subtlety. Enemies of the US will usually play along with fake peace talks and similar nonsense because both sides are addicted to excessive fossil-fuel-based luxuries; therefore, leaders face extreme risk of punishment for their crimes when world populations understand the reality of being plunged into World War 3 by these rich leaders fighting over these luxuries, wasting these fossil fuels, which are needed for modern agriculture. This leaves foreign leaders without much they can say whenever they find themselves angry about any lies told by American leaders.
The boat is big. It was carrying 25 crew and thousands of tons of cargo through Iran's Strait of Hormuz when Iran's Navy boarded and seized it for a brief time yesterday. It's called the Aries, owned by Mediterranean Shipping Company, and flies the flag of Portugal, but is reported to have connections with Israel. The crew must have been betting it wouldn't be too big of a deal in this case, and indeed, the cargo ship was released after a few hours. It is now underway to India, where most of its crew are from. They have complained about the level of aggression and force directed at them by Iran's Navy in this incident.
