France fears a united Africa

May Day international news round-up

• Irish activist Fra Hughes reports from Crete: Many illegally detained participants from the non-violent Global Sumud Flotilla savagely beaten. Broken noses, broken ribs, many needing hospitalization after being kidnapped by the zio baby killers. They beat them and stole their money. Please raise your voices and hit the streets. Two members illegally transported to the zio racist state. Demand our governments are not complicit in the deportation of their citizens from Greece who have committed no crime.

• Spain has summoned the Israeli regime's charge d'affaires and strongly condemned the interception and arrest of 175 Gaza-bound Sumud aid flotilla activists, including 30 Spanish citizens.
• The paperwork and legalities for passage through the Strait of Hormuz are being completed by Iran. One by one they are negotiating with countries for passage. ‘Indian ships can pass through Strait of Hormuz without restrictions’ says Iran’s Ambassador to India. ‘Passage of Indian ships has been completely secure, and this process will continue in the future’. Iran grants Russia exemption of all transit fees to cross the Strait of Hormuz. Insurance companies are beginning to insure ships and cargo for the passage.  

• Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine told the Senate during hearings about Moscow's aid to Tehran. He refused to go into details, given the public nature of the hearing. “There are certainly certain actions there," Caine said. Senator Roger Wicker of Mississippi, a Republican and Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, went even further. “There is no doubt that Vladimir Putin's Russia is taking serious actions to undermine our efforts to achieve success in Iran," he said.

• Iran's President says US naval blockade is an extension of military operations. "Continuation of this oppressive approach is intolerable."
• Footage published on Iranian channels with the description that Iranian security forces installed these inflatable rocket launchers throughout the country and reported them to Mossad-affiliated ‘Iran International’, under the guise of an ordinary citizen. Many flight sorties and missiles were wasted bombing these mockups. 

• Tehran Municipality says Iranians whose homes have been damaged are welcomed to stay at hotels until their homes are rebuilt. The municipality will cover all expenses. So far, 6,677 citizens have been accommodated in 45 hotels and accommodation complexes.
• Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico: We are under pressure from oil prices depending on how Trump sleeps. When he sleeps well, prices go down. When he doesn’t and makes some statement, oil automatically goes up. 

• A major fire aboard the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Higgins has disabled the ship, causing a full loss of power and propulsion in the Indo-Pacific region. 
• Major damage caused to the Ghandour hospital following the Israeli airstrike that targeted Nabatieh al-Fawqa, southern Lebanon. 
• CBS News (now a Zionist run TV network): U.S. officials say the Iran war has likely cost closer to $50 billion—about double the $25 billion publicly cited by the Pentagon. The lower figure excluded major expenses like destroyed equipment and damaged bases. Much of the added cost comes from replacing lost munitions and assets, including dozens of MQ-9 Reaper drones.

• Iran has unveiled a plan to counter the US military's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, activating a rail route to supply oil to Beijing.
• Israeli settler attacks nun outside a church in occupied Jerusalem, pushing and kicking her on the ground as another settler watches and does nothing. 

• Banksy unveiled a new sculpture in Waterloo Place, London. A suited man blinded by his own flag and walking off a platform, widely read as satire on blind patriotism. 

• Question: The US is playing Peru in the World Cup. Who do you cheer for? Pope Leo response: 'Probably Peru'. Boycott FIFA games in the US.

• CNN investigation says some of the US facilities in the region have become unusable after Iranian attacks during the war. At least 16 US bases in 8 countries were seriously damaged by Iranian attacks. The targeted sites include key radar, communications, and aircraft systems—high-value assets that are difficult and costly to replace. One congressional aide said assessments range from “fully destroyed” to “repairable but strategically vital.”

• Pakistani officials: We conveyed to Washington a revised Iranian response to the latest US conditions for ending the war. 

China building parallel satellite navigation system

The United States is trying to control what the world can see in the Iran conflict. But in doing so, it may have created an opening for China to step in—and take over from space.

As American companies like Maxar Technologies and Planet Labs restrict access to satellite data, Chinese firms are rapidly expanding their own capabilities. From high-frequency imaging constellations like Jilin-1 to navigation systems like BeiDou Navigation Satellite System, a parallel system is emerging—one that doesn’t rely on the United States.

This video breaks down:

• Why the U.S. is clamping down on open-source intelligence
• How China is filling the gap with satellite imagery
• The role of space-based intelligence in modern warfare
• And why control over information may matter more than control over the battlefield

Because this isn’t just about Iran.

Update from Iran: Persian Gulf Day

• Last evening the Israeli Navy stormed boats of the Global Sumud Flotilla near the Greek island of Crete, hundreds of nautical miles from Israel. This is in international waters. It is piracy. This is the largest civilian flotilla to challenge the siege on Gaza carrying people from across the world who refuse to keep watching a genocide in silence. Organizers say Israeli navy in speedboats approached pointing lasers and semi-automatic assault weapons, ordering participants to the front of the boats and onto their hands and knees. Israel captured 179 activists from 21 sail boats. Thirty-two flotilla boats remain afloat although some were damaged by Israeli naval forces and may be forced into ports on Crete for repairs. No doubt the Israeli naval forces will be lurking like sharks in the waters off Crete waiting for the remaining small boats to come out.
• According to noted journalist Seymour Hersh, Trump is now talking about paying Iran $25 billion to open the Strait of Hormuz, having become disgusted with Netanyahu for luring him into a war that even he now realizes can’t be won: "Trump, in a political panic over the economic fallout from the Iranian blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, is now talking to Iran, as an Israeli insider put it, about ending the current impasse in return for a payment from the US of at least $25 billion, and possibly much more, to the government in Tehran. In return, Iran would end its blockade and open the strait to all traffic, ending a crisis for Trump, the US, and much of the world.” That sounds an awful lot like the 'bags of cash' Trump accused Obama and John Kerry of traitorously giving the Iranians to seal the 2015 JCPOA nuclear deal.
• Iran’s IRGC Aerospace Force commander says even if new US attacks are limited, Iran will respond forcefully and long.

• The representative of the Jewish community in Iran announced yesterday the renewal of allegiance to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Sayyed Mojtaba Khamenei (may his shadow endure).
• A record-breaking community sports gathering in Tehran. Over 10,000 athletes from the city’s exercise stations came together on Nature Bridge to celebrate National Persian Gulf Day. 

• Tomorrow May 1st, is PERSIAN GULF day. It marks the kicking out of the Portuguese from the Strait of Hormuz in 1622 by Iran. Trump just tweeted this very disturbing AI graphic with the name 'Strait of Trump'. Trump can only get victories online and can’t actually militarily control the PERSIAN Gulf so he resorts to online propaganda. It will always and forever be the PERSIAN GULF.  

• Axios: Trump has spoken to Netanyahu “every day this week.” 

• Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett: The country is falling apart. We seize territory and then have to withdraw because we don't have enough forces to hold it. Meanwhile, there are about 100,000 healthy young men from the ultra-Orthodox community who are not serving in the military, and the government is giving them billions of dollars.
• After the arrest of nine IDF soldiers for raping a Palestinian POW to death, and a week of protests and debates, Israel’s courts have now officially ruled that a sexual assault can only be defined as a crime or rape if it’s committed against a Jewish woman. 

• Britain and other north European states will create a naval force outside of NATO to counter Russia, chief of naval staff in the UK, General Gwyn Jenkins, said. Jenkins announced that members of the UK-led Joint Expeditionary Force (Jef), which has been in place since 2014, signed a statement of intent last week to set up a new “multinational maritime force.” The Jef includes the Netherlands, all five Nordic nations (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden) and the Baltic states (Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.) This is actually about trying to grab control of the Arctic Ocean which Russia has the largest border with.
• Iran's envoy to Russia Kazem Jalali: "The people of Iran have absolutely no trust in the Americans when it comes to negotiations." 

• “The Haitian Revolution was the first global shock to the colonial order,” Fortifi Lushima, national coordinator of the non-governmental organization Urgence Panafricaniste in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, told Sputnik. But independence came at a high price. In 1825, France imposed a staggering debt of 150 million gold francs on Haiti, aiming to deter other colonies from rebelling. "The logic was simple: to show other French colonies that striving for freedom would lead to poverty and instability," Lushima explained.
• "This is the gift we received from those who boast about humanity and peace." The head of Sharif University of Technology in Tehran spoke with foreign journalists who toured the university since it was attacked by the US and Israel. 

• The Irish government has agreed to put in motion a plan to terminate government-provided accommodation for Ukrainian migrants, as well as cut benefits for those living in rentals. An estimated 125,000 Ukrainians have received temporary protection in Ireland since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in February 2022. 
• “The whole world must unite to call on the US for peaceful talks." Einar Tangen (international commentator on geopolitics and the global economy based in Beijing) believes only a united global front could pressure Washington to change course, calling for sanctions relief, reparations, and a shift toward genuine negotiations. 

• USS Truxtun (DDG-103) warship has been resupplied at Mumbai port inside India. This is evidence that India is helping USA to do blockade of Iran.
• Energy prices are set to jump by 24% this year to their highest level since 2022, while overall commodity costs will rise by 16%, the World Bank said, adding that the US-Israeli war on Iran has triggered “the biggest energy supply shock in history.” Prices could climb further if the conflict intensifies. The global oil prices continue to rise, as the price per barrel has exceeded 120 dollars.
• The US has announced a coalition aimed at pressuring China to relinquish its interests in two ports in the Panama Canal, accusing Beijing of infringing on Panama’s sovereignty and politicizing global trade. China has called the claims “baseless.”  Further evidence of the US attempt to restore its control of Latin America.

• A leaked plan to grant the US military sweeping overflight access to Indonesia's airspace has triggered a domestic backlash over concerns that Jakarta is "colluding with the aggressor" amid Washington's war on Iran. Analysts say the defence document, first reported by New Delhi-based newspaper the Sunday Guardian, raises concerns that President Prabowo Subianto may be trading away Indonesia's strategic independence. The proposal, which reportedly emerged following a meeting in February between Prabowo and Trump, is said to grant American military aircraft "blanket" overflight access to the Southeast Asian nation's airspace for contingency operations, crisis response and joint exercises. Behind the scenes, divisions have emerged. According to a Reuters report on Wednesday, Indonesia's foreign ministry sent a letter marked urgent and confidential to the defence ministry in early April warning that granting blanket overflight rights risked entangling Jakarta in foreign conflicts. Indonesian President Subianto has accepted appointment to Trump's phony 'Board of Piss'.

• Major league bombshell. Former Republican-party US Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene explicitly confirms Donald Trump was forced to make a secret deal with the Zionist lobby to become president. She exposed how the Trump administration is completely held captive by Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel. 
• An audio tape just revealed Juan Orlando Hernández, former convicted criminal president of Honduras, brags that his pardon was financed by the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu with Trump's concurrence.
• Maduro once said whoever takes Venezuela to the IMF is a traitor and the people have the right to take to the streets. This week, President Delcy Rodríguez announced Venezuela is back at the IMF. The IMF does not save countries. The IMF traps them. Austerity. Privatization. Hunger. Argentina is the example. Premium beef exported. Donkey meat for locals. That is the IMF model. Venezuela was free of the IMF for years. Now the door is open again. The same institution that helped strangle Argentina, Ghana, and dozens of others. 
• The identity of the female thief who stole champagne and wine from the table during the attempted assassination of Trump has been revealed as the Ukrainian ambassador to the US Olga Stefanyshyna!

Native wisdom from the elders

 

If the world feels overwhelming right now… this is for you.

This video brings together powerful, grounded wisdom inspired by Native American teachings on how to stay calm, steady, and connected during difficult and uncertain times. These are simple but meaningful lessons about fear, patience, balance, and staying rooted in what truly matters.

Shared through the voices of elders, these messages remind us that even in chaos, we can choose clarity, protect our peace, and move forward with strength.

You don’t need all the answers—you just need to stay steady.

If something here speaks to you, take a moment to reflect… and come back whenever you need it.

Think about it....Latin America squeeze is on

 

Argentina becoming
a new home for zionist settlers,

along with Syria, Thailand, Greece, Crete,
and many other locations
still unknown.
At least to me.

Seems like 'Greater Israel'

is expanding.

Not just regionally

but internationally.

The zionist mobster pirates

going for the whole enchilada.

At the same time
zionist co-genocider Trump 

threatens
Cuba, Mexico, Nicaragua,
Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil 
and more down yonder south.

Think of squeezing a lemon.

The zionist plan is to squeeze
Latin America
from the top
to the bottom.

Cuba

to

Argentina.

zionists understand 

their Israel project is

shot to hell.

They are largely 

done in West Asia.

Tel Aviv is crashing,

just like Trump's 

'non-existent'

Epstein and Israel rape cult. 

It's run out of gas.

Just think about it,

a new zionist project
in Latin America.

Updated strategy emerging.

Disperse the zionists

rather than concentrate 

in one nation like Palestine.

If they are willing to 
burn down Patagonia 
so they can then buy it,
along with grabbing Argentina's 
national water company,
then these 'chosen people'
will do anything 

to stay in control.

Keep your eyes open,
let me know 
if you see anything.

Global News Odds & Ends

Activists in Asheville, North Carolina have been standing on this bridge holding signs and banners weekly for well over 2 years - since January 2024. They report that the public is increasingly supportive of their messages.

• A new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows Donald Trump’s approval rating has fallen to 34%, the lowest of his current term. The drop is driven by public dissatisfaction with rising living costs and the U.S. war with Iran.
• According to the Wall Street Journal, citing U.S. officials, Trump has told his aids to prepare for an extended U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump sees pulling out of the conflict or resuming combat operations against Iran as far more risky than continuing to blockade vessels traveling to and from Iranian ports.
• According to some New York city cab drivers Trump is nothing more than a mafia-style mobster - a crook. He's driving the US into the ground. 

• Ask yourself how much Trump's massive naval presence near Iran is costing the US taxpayer? Who will pay for it at the same time the US is $39 trillion in debt? Every day spent with this highly expensive US naval 'blockade' only adds mountains of more debt. Trump doesn't give a damn either. Is Trump trying to intentionally collapse the US economy? 

• Israeli Minister Amichai Chikli says Israel is stealing land in order to establish a new “border line” with Lebanon.  Even during this so-called ceasefire, the IDF continues destroying infrastructure and effectively creating a new border line of the State of Israel. 

• HAARP Climate disruption: The high-frequency HAARP transmitter is used to generate extremely/very low-frequency waves by means of modulated heating of the ionosphere/magnetosphere. The University of Maranhão in Brazil has concluded that this can cause earthquakes, cyclones, and intense localized heating. 

• The Zionist Bahraini authorities sentenced blind man Jaafar Matouq to 5 years in prison for criticizing America and the Zionist entity. 
• Cuba is still in the crosshairs of the US. Senate blocks a resolution limiting Trump military action on Cuba without Congress approval — fails 51-47. 

• Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs: The United States will not succeed in concealing its blatant violation of Cuba's rights by discrediting China-Cuban cooperation. China firmly supports Cuba in safeguarding its sovereignty and security. We call on the United States to immediately end the embargo, sanctions, and all forms of coercion and pressure it imposes on Cuba.
• CBS News fired its London bureau chief Claire Day after reported clashes with editor-in-chief Bari Weiss over Middle East coverage. Day, a longtime CBS journalist, had pushed for more balanced reporting on Gaza and Iran, while Weiss—known for strong pro-zionist views—reportedly disagreed. 

• Boycott Trump's 2026 FIFA games in the US. Save your $$$$$ and watch them on TV. World Cup ticket cancellations are accelerating as tens of thousands of fans worldwide walked away from FIFA 2026 and call for a boycott over safety concerns tied to U.S. immigration enforcement. The Iranian national team is continuing to prepare for the FIFA World Cup finals and have no intention of pulling out of the tournament but do intend to boycott matches in the US, football chief Mehdi Taj has insisted. 

• Ghana has rejected a proposed health assistance agreement with the US over requirements to share sensitive health data. According to Reuters, Ghana’s government objected to data-sharing terms in the deal, which would have provided $109 million in US health assistance over five years. Ghana is not the first country to withdraw from the pact. In February, Zimbabwe rejected a $367 million US proposal, citing demands for access to sensitive health data, including virus samples and epidemiological information, without guaranteed access to resulting medical innovations.
• Lebanon’s Ministry of Health: 2,576 martyrs and 7,962 wounded since the start of the Israeli aggression on Lebanon on March 2. A young father, Abbas Zayat, mourned his daughter Mila and his wife Ruqayya Zeidan, who were killed in yesterday's terrorist Israeli airstrike on Tayr Debba, south Lebanon. 

• The former French colony Mali has been embroiled in a deadly insurgency for over a decade, driven by multiple armed groups, including affiliates of Al-Qaeda and ISIS operating in the Sahel region. France and Ukraine have been training the ISIS terrorists in order to help France restore its former control over gold mines and other resources in Mali. 

• Israel has used access to water as a weapon and a form of 'collective punishment' against Palestinians in Gaza, according to a report by international medical charity Doctors Without Borders. The report highlights a sharp rise in water-shortage-related diseases, including diarrhea, skin infections, lice, and infected wounds. Additionally, the lack of clean water and sanitation is also worsening malnutrition and severely affecting mental health. 

• SpaceX has approved a plan linking stock compensation for founder and CEO Elon Musk to building a colony on Mars and operating large-scale data centers in space. Under the ambitious plan, Musk could be granted up to 200 million super‑voting shares if the company reaches a valuation of $7.5 trillion and helps establish a permanent human settlement on Mars with at least one million residents. Additional incentives are tied to developing space-based computing infrastructure capable of delivering at least 100 terawatts of processing power, roughly comparable to 100,000 one‑gigawatt nuclear reactors running at the same time. 

• The US will struggle to defend itself against advanced missile systems developed by China and Russia, senior Pentagon officials told lawmakers as they called for funding for the proposed Golden Dome missile defense program. Michael Guetlein, who leads the Golden Dome program within the US Space Force, testified that both China and Russia are continuing to modernize and expand their missile arsenals. These systems, Guetlein said, are “designed to challenge the tracking and engagement capabilities of our sensors” and ensure a “responsive and survivable strike capability." While the US has insisted that the shield was aimed at countering limited threats from countries such as North Korea or Iran, Russian officials have long warned it was undermining nuclear deterrence by enabling a potential decapitating first strike. In that scenario, Moscow argued, American missile interceptors could be used to neutralize a retaliatory strike by surviving Russian missiles. 

• The US sent a CSAR team to Qatar, which includes the same special forces & military planes that did the failed op landing inside of Esfahan in Iran ostensibly t 'rescue' the downed pilot. The HC-130J landed in Qatar, same time US Marine units are near Dubai.  

Sabby Sabs on Mali attack by French controlled mercenaries

French and Ukrainian backed terrorists hit Mali hard as they try to take down one of the governments in the region which previously chased France away. 

The Mali government is receiving support from Russia. 

The Russian Foreign Ministry said preliminary info points to the possible involvement of Western security services in training the attackers. Earlier this year, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accused France of attempting to "overthrow undesirable nationalist governments” in the Sahara-Sahel using “outright terrorist groups” and “colonial methods.”

For years France has exploited the nations in this region. After being kicked out in recent times France has been working hard to reestablished its colonial control in these countries.

Mali has huge gold resources. France wants them in its dirty hands once again.

Burkina Faso and Niger are on France's hit list as well. 

Sabby expresses her usual informed outrage about these colonial terror operations. She ends with 'leave these people alone'!
