Iran launched the next stage of their True Promise 3.0 operation, targeting various sites of Israeli energy and military infrastructure..

A This time it reportedly included the latest Fattah-1 hypersonic missiles, which made quite the dazzling impact all over Tel Aviv and northern Israel—a sight so spectacular it is rivaled only by last year’s Oreshnik strikes:


The scenes were almost too unreal to believe, like something from an over-produced Michael Bay blockbuster.

Among the targets was the Haifa refinery and Israeli research center of the Weizmann Institute for Science in Rehovot, near Tel Aviv:

What role does Haifa’s refinery have, that Iran targeted? The Haifa Oil Refinery in northern occupied Palestine supplies more than 60% of Israel’s fuel needs, from gasoline and diesel to jet fuel for the Air Force. With these facilities damaged in tonight’s Iranian attack, Israel’s will face a fuel problem. This successful attack on Haifa’s refinery is a strategic blow to Israel’s economic and military backbone.

The fact that Israel remains silent on the impacts on its refinery, and has not yet said anything but focused on the impact in Tamra—which I believe was caused by Israel’s own failed interceptor missile (we’ll have to see), shows that the damage was painful. And it’s only the beginning…

The New York Times, citing images shared with them, reports that Israeli research centre, The Weizmann Institute for Science, has been damaged by an Iranian ballistic missile in the most recent attacks on central Israel. The building is located in Rehovot, south of Tel Aviv, and a fire has reportedly broken out in one of the buildings which contains laboratories.

Meanwhile, Israel had likewise hit Iran’s largest natural gas field—the South Pars—which also happens to be the largest in the world:

Israel is bombing Iran’s ability to export oil and natural gas. This will remove Iran’s ability to export about 2 million bpd, most of which goes to China.

Once again, Keir Starmer has proved himself a man of dangerous instincts and shallow judgment — this time by backing Israel’s unilateral airstrikes on Iranian soil, cloaked in the tired rhetoric of “self-defence”.

But let’s be clear: this was not self-defence.

It was not a response to an imminent threat. It […]

Trump orders feds to ‘liberate Los Angeles’ (VIDEOS)

California’s governor has pushed back against the US president’s move to suppress pro-immigrant riots in his state

Telegram..

US President Donald Trump has directed top federal officials to take “all such action necessary” to defeat Community defenders in Los Angeles, ordering the deployment of thousands of ICE deportation goons and National Guard troops.

The best thing that people can do in solidarity is to take action outside LA. They want to isolate and suppress us one by one….
         Stand up in solidarity.

……….

Trump said he ordered federal agencies to quell the uprising, thus usurping dictatorial powers by sidelining the contrary California governor.

“A once great American City, Los Angeles, has been invaded and occupied by Illegal Aliens and Criminals,” Trump posted on Truth Social on Sunday. “Now violent, insurrectionist mobs are swarming and attacking our Federal Agents to try and stop our deportation operations ”

Trump’s comments follow two days of clashes between Community defenders and federal immigration agents, prompting Trump to authorize the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops.

LAPD GETTING PUSHED BACK AND KETTLED BY CROWD! LA not fucking with ICE, DHS, or any of these pigs.

Tensions peaked Sunday afternoon as hundreds of protesters gathered outside the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles.

Video footage showed National Guard troops facing off with protesters behind riot shields.

At one point tear gas was fired, but authorities have not confirmed which or all agencies used lethal force or what triggered the escalation.

Governor Gavin Newsom condemned the federal “takeover” of California’s National Guard as unconstitutional and politically motivated, formally demanding that President Trump withdraw the order and return control of the troops to the state.

“We didn’t have a problem until Trump got involved,” he claimed on X. “This is a serious breach of state sovereignty – inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they’re actually needed.”

The unrest began Friday and intensified Saturday in the cities of Paramount and Compton, following multiple immigration raids in which over 100 people were arrested.

Demonstrators attempted to block Border Patrol vehicles, and some threw rocks and debris at officers. Federal agents responded with tear gas, pepper balls and flash-bang grenades.

Homeland Security officials accused local politicians of failing to uphold public safety. “Instead of rioting, they should be thanking ICE officers every single day who wake up and make our communities safer,” said DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.

Senator Bernie Sanders described the deployment as “a president moving this country rapidly into authoritarianism.”

While previous National Guard deployments in Los Angeles were initiated by state officials, this marks the first federal override since the 1960s civil rights era.

…Quote from LA uprising in 2000…

It remains unclear how long the troops will remain in the city. Defense Secretary Hegseth warned that active-duty Marines could be deployed next if the violence continues.

“Approximately 500 Marines from 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines at Twentynine Palms, California, are in a prepared to deploy status should they be necessary to augment and support the DoD’s protection of federal property and personnel efforts,” the US Northern Command announced in a statement on Sunday.

Los Angeles Stands up to ICE

https://crimethinc.com/LosAngelesJune6

In this report, participants in the clashes of June 6 describe how people came together to defend their community from federal agents.

This details the response to the initial raids, the standoff at the detention center, and how a crowd chased ICE out of Chinatown later that night.

Once the favored child of the establishment, Greta Thunberg has been dropped by the global elite.

A MintPress News study finds that coverage of Thunberg in The New York Times and Washington Post has dwindled from hundreds of articles per year to barely a handful, precisely as she widens her focus from the environment to the capitalist system that is causing climate breakdown, and the Israeli attack on Gaza, which the Swedish activist has labeled a “genocide.”

Not Your Puppet

Greta Thunberg was once a media darling. Organizing a climate strike at her local school when she was just fifteen, she shot to fame and was quickly embraced by the establishment.

In 2019, she was invited to the European Union Parliament and received a standing ovation from the politicians and diplomats in attendance.

She also spoke in front of the British government. Yet even as she told them that they were a pack of “liars” responsible for “one of the greatest failures of humankind,” the young Swede was applauded in a patronizing manner.

Then Environmental Secretary Michael Gove admitted being moved by her words, stating, “When I listened to you, I felt great admiration, but also responsibility and guilt. I am of your parents’ generation, and I recognize that we haven’t done nearly enough to address climate change and the broader environmental crisis that we helped to create.”

Her message of the urgent need to address the impending climate crisis was one that was palatable to authorities, who attempted to co-opt her with access and accolades.

In 2019, despite being only 16 years old, she won the Swedish Woman of the Year award and was named by Forbes magazine as one of the world’s 100 most powerful women.

Time magazine even awarded her its prestigious Person of the Year, for, in their words, “sounding the alarm about humanity’s predatory relationship with the only home we have,” “bringing to a fragmented world a voice that transcends backgrounds and borders,” and for “showing us all what it might look like when a new generation leads.”

While conservatives were hostile to her from the start, more liberal institutions showered her with attention and praise.

The New York Times, for example, described her as “a modern-day Cassandra for the age of climate change,” and noted that her work had “inspired huge children’s demonstrations” across the planet.

Yet Thunberg refused to be turned into a mascot for the elites, and the co-optation failed.

As a result, coverage of her in elite media outlets has plummeted to almost nothing, even as she continues to fight for global causes and risks her life trying to break the illegal blockade of Gaza……
