I LEAF BAD SMELL BEHINDZ MEES AN’ I DOAN CARES.

  

OOPS! Looks like it’s time for Ukraine’s President Zelensky to break out the Bermuda shorts and suntan lotion and skedaddle out of Dodge! He may have to end the war sooner than he'd rather, and without a war to fight, his political career would drop, lickety-split, to the bottom of the  dead letter box. (If the conflict ends, martial law in Ukraine would be lifted and elections called. It's hard to see how he could stay in power.)  

Anyway, Mister Zee flew into Washington yesterday fully expecting to be gifted with America’s long-range “Tomahawk missiles. These subsonic projectiles can fly up to 1600kms, which puts within range more Russian military and energy infrastructure, as well as Moscow and Saint Petersburg. BAM! Take that, Putin!

Please note: The warheads on these munitions can be configured to hold nuclear payloads and there is no way for Russia to know whether an incoming Tomahawk was a nuke or just your basic high explosives. Which makes adding these missiles to Ukraine’s arsenal a dangerous escalation and, given that American technicians would operate and guide the missiles,  a dangerous provocation as well (i.e., It would be clear and unambiguous that the United States was attacking Russia directly). 

WHICH PROMPTED, on Thursday, a phone call from Putin. It lasted two and a half hours and by the end of it, Trump apparently had a change of heart and would not allow Ukraine access to Tomahawks. Zelensky had been charged up, ready to receive the missile upgrade based on Trump’s musings about supplying them to Ukraine earlier in the week. But, the Friday meeting in the White House turned frosty right quick when Trump dropped a big turd on the table with his “Nope.” Needless to say, it was a short meeting with Zelensky and his rat pack. They didn’t even stay for lunch. No more 'free lunches' for them, me thinks! 😆

MORE IMPORTANT than Zelensky’s hissy-fit was the announcement that ministerial-level meetings are to be held shortly between Moscow and Washington to discuss a resolution to the Ukraine conflict and relations between the two nuclear superpowers going forward. This is something that everyone should welcome. On the agenda, for sure, would be the renewal of the New Start treaty governing how many nuclear warheads each nation may possess and deploy. Even more interesting is scheduling the summit meeting in Budapest, Hungary between Trump and Putin, following the technical negotiations just mentioned. Hungary is a NATO member and its Prime Minister, Viktor Orban, is an outlier in the alliance in that he disagrees with NATO’s involvement in the Ukraine-Russia conflict and the billions of euros going to Zelensky from European coffers. Having a summit hosted by Orban suggests Trump approves of his ‘end-the-conflict-now' position. It's also a pointed nudge to European/NATO countries to get with the program and enough already with the war talk.

IT'S a tiny, green shoot of hope in these rather bleak times. So, we’ll see. 

 

Cheers, Jake. ___________________________________

 

   

 

 

RANT: THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE JUST PLAIN UGLY

  

FUN WORD: This, for me, was a new one: “Necroviolence”, which is defined as “the intentional infliction of violence on human corpses.” This abhorrent human behaviour is one area of study found in mortuary archaeology, which examines:

 

“…human remains in their archaeological context. Mortuary archaeology aims to generate an understanding of disease, migration, health, nutrition, gender, status, and kinship among past populations. Ultimately, these topics help to produce a picture of the daily lives of past individuals."

 

ONE RECENT study of necroviolence is of the “Aktion 1005” Nazi campaign, begun in mid-1942, which conducted the exhumation of  bodies from mass graves in eastern and central Europe, then burning the remains to destroy evidence of earlier executions carried out by roving Einsatzkommando (“Task Force”) squads and at death camps, like Auschwitz, until the more efficient crematoria were up and running. Modern archaeological techniques that combine archival sources, ground penetrating radar, chemical analysis of soils and burned remains of victims provided the study's author, University of Lotz researcher Dawid Kobialka,* with valuable data on the scale and scope and timeline of the genocidal murders and mass burials, and the later disinterring of the victims and burning their corpses, something¹ Kobialka calls a “second death” inflicted upon the victims.

 

THE ANALYTICAL TOOLS of mortuary archaeology and forensic science helped researchers glean valuable information from the ash and bone fragments uncovered in the killing fields of eastern Europe and gave the lie to claims that mass murders of Polish intelligentsia, people with mental disorders, Jews and other minorities, at the hands of the Nazis, could be erased entirely. The perpetrators of the massacres in Poland’s Szpegawski forest and elsewhere, during the early years of WWII, tried to expunge all traces of their crimes from the historical record. In this they failed.

👉PERHAPS in a millennium or two, when the last physical traces of their foul deeds are finally lost to deep-time, perhaps then the monsters of last century’s great war may finally rest in peace, and the only memories of their time upon the earth will be found in ghost stories parents whisper to their children to bid them sleep and to be wary of things that go bump in the night.

 

IN GAZA the “necroviolence” is multi-varied and comes with a ‘twist’ of the modern, even if the story is much the same, with only the players that are different. The most obvious is the deliberate destruction of Gazan graveyards by the IDF (Israeli Defence Force) using bulldozers and backhoes. Both sacral and communal, the grounds of cemeteries are repositories of lives lived. They are sacred places that offer solace to those who mourn, where the living can meet with their dead and remember their lives. They are liminal spaces where the present and past intermix with the future that extends out from shoreline to the far horizon. Today’s digitalizing age makes it easier, in some respects, to erase the traces of births and deaths.

👉AS PAPER RECORDS give way to fungible computerized spread sheets, attacking the physical centres of a population’s religious and secular life—its civic buildings, businesses, courts, monuments, libraries, schools, museums, places of worship, its graveyards, arenas, and avenues—along with the digital destruction of records, are all an effort, Kobialka calls, of “deheritization”, that is: destroying a people’s heritage, their links to the culture they born into and were part of, including their cityscapes and landscapes, the unique, memory-rich physicality of towns and cities, farmlands and orchards. Without records and physical markers, the histories of individuals, of groups and cultures become, for future fascists, easier to “memory hole”. When digital archives are destroyed along with the physical traces of a people’s past (for example, graveyards), then every year becomes a ‘Year Zero’. Without a past how can the present  have, or even recognize, a future? As Professor of Archaeology and Archaeodeath blog host, Howard M. R. Williams notes:

 

“Indeed, many are arguing that this destruction of heritage, while in part an inevitable result of urban mechanized warfare – can and should be regarded as an extension of, and integral to, the violence done to people, their traditions, habits and culture (Ahmed 2024).” (Williams, Archaeodeath)

 

Destroying graveyards, with their gravestones, statuary and monuments, and disinterring gravesite remains, obviate the efficacy of such liminal places to preserve individual and communal memories. And not to forget, it’s a war crime and illegal under international humanitarian law—namely Article 56 of the 1954 Hague Convention.

SOCIAL MEDIA, while as potentially ephemeral² as digital records, has thus far had the opposite effect on the wider world’s understanding of the Gazan genocide. Daily, our phones and screens preserve in photographs, videos, blogs, and commentary the destruction of Palestinian group memories, including the wanton destruction of at least sixteen graveyards in the enclave. It’s done as part of a larger policy of eroding Palestinian resolve and making Gaza unlivable. Destroying  communal depositories of memories destroys (or tries to) memories that tie a people to the land, making them more malleable and more likely to take the option of emigrating from their home.

 

BUT, there is one positive outcome at least, a single green shoot of resistance and resolve, if you will: In the United States, support for Israel, once rock solid, is now called into question, especially from youth who use the TikTok app to bear witness to atrocities happening each day in Gaza. Therefore, to stem the tide of changing public opinion and to regain narrative control, TikTok and CBS News have just been bought by the billionaire father and son team of Larry and David Ellison. Ardent Zionists, the dynamic duo fails to understand that the more they try to throttle news coming out of Gaza (and the West Bank and East Jerusalem) while schlepping as ‘truth’ the approved narratives crafted by the Netanyahu regime and the murderous IDF, the more users of the app will move to other platforms to find out what’s really happening there.  And that’s a good thing, so long as we remember there are ‘choke points’ along the digital information highway, with gray areas in law that allow governments and elites to censor digital exchanges and ban users and content providers, again with the effect of ‘deheritizing’ the Palestinian people. As journalist Rami Abu Jamus summed up: "We have come to a point where death and life mix. We are between life and death. We are dead, but still alive. We are alive, but always dead."

 

 

Free, Free Palestine!

FUN FACT: A 2020 article from Al Jazerra notes that Israeli disrespect for the bodies of Palestinians has long been a practice of the IDF, even to the extent of collecting bodies of Palestinians killed in skirmishes to use later as ‘bargaining chips’ in negotiations. Budour Hassan, a legal researcher  with the Jerusalem Legal Aid and Human Rights Center (JLAC) suggests:“…this necroviolence – the act of humiliating human bodies – is a means of exerting control over bodies of the Palestinians. We see it as an extension of an entire policy designed by Israel to control bodies of Palestinians.” Additionally, there is some speculation that suggests Israel harvests organs from the recently deceased Palestinians whose corpses they confiscate. Such actions, according to Hassan “reveal the extent to which Palestinians have been dehumanised in Israeli media and by Israeli officials which is a culmination of the whole system of necroviolence that is being exerted on Palestinians.” (Al Jazerra)

YCMTSU!: NO HARM, NO FOUL

 

 

BBC NEWS has confirmed the identities of 10 members of the Infidels Motorcycle Club working in Gaza for UG Solutions (UGS), one of two private contractors providing security at the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s (GHF) nutritional wellness centres where, unfortunately, it’s been noted that upwards of 2000 Gazans seeking food aid "have been killed* in scenes of chaos and gunfire during the last three months." But, as they say, you have to break eggs to make an omelette, and the UGS hiring motto: “No harm, no foul”, suggests it is both a progressive and inclusive employer bringing hot-metal "road warriors" and others under the big tent of  humanitarian relief.

UG Solutions, the private military contractor providing security at GHF’s four aid stations in southern Gaza and where whistle-blower (ret.) U.S. Army First Lieutenant Anthony Aguliar worked for a time, has hired between ten and twenty members of the Infidels Motorcycle Club to maintain order during feeding times and to squelch any food fights that may occur.

Johnny “Taz” Mulford, a founding member of the biker gang, whose day job is with UG Solutions, encouraged his fellow bikers to apply for the lucrative positions ($980-$1500/day) with the private contractor, and at least a baker’s dozen of them took up the offer. The motorcycle club was formed by Iraq War vets around 2008 and, today, the ex-servicemen bring important skill sets to UGS as it supports GHF’s humanitarian efforts in the Palestinian enclave. 

To commemorate their time in Gaza, UGS now offers colourful, men's and women's ball caps, lanyards, epaulets, and tee-shirts found at their online store.

 
DISCLAIMER: Any similarities between the the name of the motorcycle club and the pejorative, "infidels", used in the Middle Ages by Christians as a slur against Muslims is pure conjecture and a charge the club wholeheartedly rejects. Claims that some members' display tattoos resembling a Christian cross or that the tattooed numbers "1095" refer to the date of the First Crusade are specious and border on libel. In fact, the numbers represent the 4-digit area code of the club president. 

👉The bottom line is that UG Solutions and the Infidels Motorcycle Club, and GHF are progressive and inclusive organizations with a diversity of Caucasian associates filling their ranks. 😀

QUOTES: JOHN F. KENNEDY

 

 

“WE MUST, THEREFORE, persevere in the search for peace in the hope that constructive changes within the Communist bloc might bring within reach solutions which now seem beyond us. We must conduct our affairs in such a way that it becomes in the Communists' interest to agree on a genuine peace. Above all, while defending our own vital interests, nuclear powers must avert those confrontations which bring an adversary to a choice of either a humiliating retreat or a nuclear war. To adopt that kind of course in the nuclear age would be evidence only of the bankruptcy of our policy--or of a collective death-wish for the world.” (JFK commencement address, American University. Washington, June 10, 1963.)

 

 

SUSPICIOUS FOLLICLES*

DP News—During HIS ADDRESS before the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) last week, cameras recorded it. The delegates saw it. Ambassadors shunned it. But it was there, along with the trademark glint from the corner of his eyes, reptilian and vigilant of those opposed to him and his government. Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu, whatever which-way he turned his head, you could see the makings of a “toothbrush” mustache, that style of facial hair popular in the 1930s among dictators world leaders and movie stars alike. “It’s not a photoshopped picture,” says U of D’s chief film archivist, Professor Dudley Doosend. “And it's not a shadow. It’s the real McCoy. It’s not visible when Bibi looks at you directly. You only see it when he turns his head from side to side."

"Why we don’t see the resemblance to Adolf Hiltler when he’s looking straight at us is beyond me,” says the winner of this year’s Leni Riefenstahl Golden Eye for Photographic Excellence.

 

👍Professor Doosend is the first Canadian winner of the prestigious "Lenny" award, held each year in Buenos Aires during the week-long film and photography festival. This year’s theme: “Beyond the Beer Hall: To be Seen, Recognized and Reckoned With”, saw Professor Doosend’s winning entry, his archival discovery of a ten-second chronographic film capture of Adolf Hitler  as a toddler losing his diaper as he stamps around the Hitler family’s living room.

👇THAT'S DEFINITELY an 'Oh no he didnt!' moment 😝 made during Bibi's fountain of lies UNGA speech--a real Seig Heil  wave to the near-empty chamber where all right-minded ambassadors and delegates boycotted Bibi's speech. [Alas, Canada's outgoing Ambassador to the United Nations, Bob Rae, kept his seat instead of sending a diplomatic fuck you to the Israeli president. Ed.]

 

NORMALLY, if I had to choose between listening to Bibi Netanyahu speechify or submit to an anal tasering, you know which one I'd choose. At the same time, it's always fun, if also terrifying, to watch the clown mask slip from the demon's face. 

 

 BUT the old nugget: "Give him enough rope and he'll hang himself", once more proves itself a helpful guide in sussing out the psychopaths among us.  

 

 

CANCON CON?

 

Demo at Parliament Square, London, August 2025

IN SEPTEMBER OF 2024, the former

Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mélanie Joly, 

stated:

 “First and foremost, our policy has been clear since January 8, [2024] we and I have not accepted any form of arms export permits to be sent to Israel… We will not have any form of arms or parts of arms be sent to Gaza, period.” (The Maple)

 

   

So, everything’s copacetic, right? No arms to Israel. That’s good, isn’t it? Canada is part of a growing number of countries suspending the sale of weapons to the out-of-control Jewish state. These include Italy, Japan, Spain, Columbia and several others. A growing list and one we hope represents reality. It should be the moral thing to do, an automatic admonition and sanctioning by our better selves. But the levels of obfuscation, propaganda, and outright lies available to our political and economic elites to hide the truth of things, like selling guns and munitions to genocidaires, is endless. One hopes Canada is transparent in this matter. One hoped, anyway.

 

A 2024 REPORT by the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) found that while Canada is no longer issuing new permits for sales of military hardware to Israel, those permits in place prior to 8 January 2024 remain active. Furthermore, the watchdog group, Arms Embargo Now reports that direct military sales to Israel increased sharply during the months immediately following 7 October, 2023. They note that: “Data from Global Affairs Canada (GAC) revealed nearly $30 million dollars worth of new [Emphasis mine] export permits for military goods and technology had been authorized for Israel in just the first two months of the genocide.”

 

      Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME) Proposals         

IT IS INTERESTING that, even as Canadian exports of military goods to Israel increased significantly between October and December 2023, government accounts of the transferred materiel became more opaque. One small, but telling, example is the change GAC made in labeling military exports in its records. The original and straight-forward label:  “Exports of Military Goods and Technology” changed in  2025 to “Strategic Goods and Technologies Pursuant to Section 27 of the Export and Import Permits Act”—the later, I'm sure you'll agree, is a title so vague that it could be misconstrued as non-military consumer goods,  and therefore less apt to be closely scrutinized by export regulators.

 

“The data presented in this section, drawn directly from Israeli import records, paints an undeniable picture: a steady and substantial flow of Canadian military and strategic goods to Israel continued, and in some categories accelerated, long after the Canadian government announced its “pause” [in January 2024] on new export permits.” (Arms Embargo Now)

 

Another obfuscation used is to claim sales of Canadian military goods to Israel, either shipped directly or via the United States, come with a "rider" stating the exports cannot be used in Gaza. This loophole means that  Israel can legally import materiel from Canada for its other conflicts (the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iran) and move munitions from those theatres to Gaza as needed. The authors of the report go on to say that the January 2024 policy “has proven to have little material effect on stopping these transfers, as the record-breaking volume of permits issued just prior [emphasis mine] to the announcement ensured the pipeline of military exports remained wide open.” Additionally, those sales negotiated in such haste between Israel and Canada in late 2023 will have totaled over ninety-million-dollars when the final sales are completed by the end of 2025. 

When questioned about Canada’s military exports to Israel, then-Foreign Affairs Minister Joly used the standard talking point of claiming such-and-such shipment contained “non-lethal” (whatever that means) military hardware. So, Canadian-made night-vision goggles used by an Israeli sniper are okay, even if the device helps murder innocent Palestinians? Goggles good. Rifles bad. Is that what we’re supposed to accept? GMAB!  

👉Any shipment of military goods facilitates Israel’s genocide, no matter how ‘benign’. Frankly, any trade with Israel facilitates, supports, and ultimately condones Israel’s actions in Gaza.

 

South African Delegation to the ICJ December 2023

Even South Africa’s hands are not entirely clean in this matter. The brave South African jurists who, in December 2023, brought forward to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) a charge of genocide against Israel, must contend with a difficult fact: their country still exports coal to Israel, helping, literally, to fuel the genocide they went to The Hague to prevent. Without a secure electrical grid from its thermal (coal, gas) generating plants, Israel could not aggress as it does against the Palestinian people—or anyone else for that matter. Its extensive communications and surveillance apparatus, its drones, facial recognition programs, AI-generated targeting systems, monitoring and remote control systems, etc., all use lots of electricity, not to mention the electrical needs of a modern society.

 

 IT SHOULD BE NOTED: this past August there were protests in South Africa around that country’s coal exports to the Jewish state and the hypocrisy on the part of the South African government that charges Israel with committing war crimes on the one hand, while on the other enables Israel to carry out its despicable deeds using their coal. 

 

“As a country, which took Israel to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), we cannot again supply coal to Israel, which keeps its electricity grid on, supporting the industrial military complex it uses in carrying out the genocide.” (Mametlwe Sebei, president of the General Industries Workers Union of South Africa.)

 

  

THE SOUTH AFRICAN EXAMPLE calls our attention to understand how complex webs of vested interests—political, social, institutional, corporate, and private—act at different times and places and intensities, to hobble and compete with even the most obvious and necessary humanitarian actions.

  

👉There are supposed to be checks in the system to ensure Canadian armaments and munitions do not go to third parties like Israel where “arms or items would be used in the commission of genocide, crimes against humanity, grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions of 1949, attacks directed against civilian objects or civilians protected as such, or other war crimes” as per the UN sponsored 2013 "Arms Trade Treaty" of which Canada is a signatory. According to GAC, Canada has not made new trade contracts with Israel since 8 Jan 2024. It remains to be seen whether further military export deals are made between Canada and Israel once the old ones are completed.  

Canada also has a trade treaty with the United States called the “Defence Production Sharing Agreement” which cuts through red-tape and facilitates sales of Canadian weapons and materiel to the US Department of Defence War to the tune of one-billion dollars annually, and  does not require export permits, so we have less understanding of what's being sold to our great southern neighbour and what they do with our stuff afterwards. We don’t know definitively how much Canadian kit is being forwarded on to Israel. Tracking the Canadian footprint in all that is like tossing a hundred or so fluffy, white kittens into an automatic dryer and adding a black or grey into the mix as it's tumbling. Hard to track, in other words. 😒 This lack of oversight and rigorous export controls with respect to third-party use of our military exports suggests our weapons trade regime needs more comprehensive monitoring and regulatory procedures. [How about not selling weapons, period?! Just sayin'. Ed.]

 

To recap: Military exports get to Israel from Canada as direct sales, as indirect sales or donations via the United States, and also as “diplomatic cargo”. For example, 16,883 tons of container shipments were classified as 'diplomatic cargo' by the Israeli Consulate in New York and destined for Israeli ports between 2011-2014 without any inspections of the shipments. (I imagine they contained memo pads and paperclips. You can never have too many paperclips.)

IN CANADA, recent “export data reveal that air shipments labeled as ‘diplomatic cargo’ originated from the Israeli Consulate in Montreal, Quebec. Which raises the question about the content of these diplomatic shipments.” (Arms Embargo Now) So, something similar may be happening here, too. 

Israel's military also gets financial help from wealthy Canadian donors and 'charitable' organizations that provide funds or services directly to the the IDF (Israeli Defence Force)*  

 

Isn't it about time we stop making excuses and actually do something?

 

CHEERS, JAKE.  ____________________________________

 

 View of Gaza 'Targets' Through Sniper Scope

FUN FACT: IDF policy has it that for a single Hamas fighter targeted by Israeli intelligence, one-hundred non-combatants, i.e., ‘collateral damage’, can  be killed, if necessary, by Israeli bombs and missiles. A 100-to-one kill ratio is deemed acceptable to Israel’s military and political leadership. If that isn’t a recipe for mass murder, I don’t know what is!

(p.s., I have no idea how many Hamas there are, but, given the murderous rampage Netanyahu and his Sturmtruppen are conducting, with the acquiesce and even the approval of most Jewish Israelis it must be said, there should be plenty of volunteers signing up at the local Hamas recruitment centre in the near future.

 

* Jewish organizations like JNF Canada, Friends of Israel Defence Forces,  Mizrachi Canada, etc., are registered in Canada as charities. They offer tax deductions to donors whose funds go to support the IDF, a foreign military. In general, Canadians are allowed to send money to the IDF, but they cannot claim their donation as a tax deduction on their income tax returns, unless they go through Jewish charities here in Canada. The rules seem pretty clear and it's a wonder how this loophole remains active even now. In fact, these Jewish organizations are not charities. They are agents of a foreign government and should have their charitable status revoked and a "foreign lobby" label attached to their incorporation papers.

IF A DONOR gets a charitable tax receipt from one of these so-called 'charities', the rest of us are on the hook for the amount of the deduction. In addition, the CRA, by allowing this charitable loophole to remain active, makes the Canadian taxpayer indirectly complicit in funding a genocide. 😕 And that's a very unpleasant thought, indeed.

 

👉Wyatt Reed of the Grayzone says of other Canadian charities: "A separate report published by Just Peace Advocates found that in 2023 up to $100 million went completely untaxed as it was funneled  to Israeli universities from their ‘charitable’ arms in Canada. The money went to a variety of schools with strong ties to occupation forces." [i.e., the IDF] Several Israeli universities received Canadian charitable donations to conduct research, provide occupational and technical training for IDF soldiers, promote as legitimate Israel's illegal occupation of Palestinian lands, as well as providing reports and research tools and technical expertise for the IDF.

👉Again, it is illegal for Canadian charities to make donations to a foreign military. Individuals are free to do so, but they cannot claim charitable tax exemption status for their donation. Why this loophole continues to exist is another very good question. 😠 

 

 

"From Economy of Occupation to Economy of Genocide." Report of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967:

 

“By supplying Israel with coal, gas, oil and fuel, companies are contributing to civilian infrastructures that Israel uses to entrench permanent annexation and weaponizes in the destruction of Palestinian life. The same infrastructure services the Israeli military while it obliterates Gaza, including the network supplying the resources that these companies have provided.  The ostensibly civilian nature of such infrastructure does not exonerate a company of responsibility.”
