Modern Wars by NATO/Western States and Deep Seated Colonialism, Encouraged through Racism
Confronting ignorance about militarism and settler colonialism in communication pedagogy
Discussions of pedagogy in the twenty-first century have called for place-based approaches to education, described by some as grounding learning in "local phenomena and students' lived experience" and "connecting learners and their teachers through direct experience, reflection and action to the geographically specific cultural and ecological dimensions of community life." While grappling with those early conceptions of place-based pedagogy, some have argued that an overly narrow or static emphasis on the local can produce ignorance of the powerful ways that global histories and broader ideologies shape the local.
In settler nation-states like the United States (US), Australia, and Aotearoa/New Zealand, scholars have interrogated the tendency of place-based education to reproduce notions of and relations to place that are foundational to settler colonialism. Scholars have since proposed alternative and intersecting approaches to place-based education--e.g., land-based education, and critical Indigenous pedagogy--that render settler colonialism visible through explicit analysis of territoriality and colonization. These works engage in vital examination of what is taught within educational settings, and importantly, what is not taught, and the forms of ignorance (re)produced as a result.

Letter former British and French diplomats in Le Monde ...

'France and the UK should act together to uphold international law in Palestine': An open letter by former French and British ambassadors
Op-Ed Former French and British ambassadors
In response to Israel's policy of occupation and destruction, around one hundred former representatives of France and the United Kingdom urge their governments to act through a series of sanctions aimed at safeguarding the rule of law.
United Kingdom and France share values and an international outlook. As permanent members of the UN Security Council, with a commitment to uphold international law, our two nations believe that those responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity must be held to account. Only then can our governments rebut the accusation of double standards. That is why they must act together to uphold international law in Palestine.
Our countries played a decisive role in the shaping of the Middle East. They should make common cause over the region's fundamental faultline: equal rights for Israelis and Palestinians. Peace stems from equality.

The Terror State creating chaos for the powers to be ... a creation of VP #Joe Biden in 2014 alongside intelligence services of Nine Eyes.
Former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba suggests that former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov is positioning himself politically alongside powerful global tech figures such as Elon Musk, Alex Karp, and potentially Peter Thiel.
He calls them a trio of "evil global geniuses," arguing that while their technological achievements are undeniable, their views on society and the state are highly unorthodox and "inclined toward some new form of technological totalitarianism."
Kuleba clarifies that he does not believe Fedorov himself "seeks to build totalitarianism as a politician."

Donald Trump 'whisked off plane via catering container before taking secret flight' | Sky News |
The president was moved from Air Force One to a military jet via a catering container at Ankara airport last month, the Washington Post and New York Times reported, citing US officials.
Mr Trump said at the time he would be leaving Ankara airport on 8 July by one of the older versions of Air Force One - as opposed to a luxury 747-8 controversially donated by Qatar that he had arrived in.
Photos from news agencies at the time show the US president boarding Air Force One in view of journalists, who then reported that he had travelled to RAF Mildenhall in the UK before making the switch to the Qatari jet.

However, The New York Times and Washington Post reported on Monday that after boarding in Ankara, Mr Trump was taken off Air Force One by a catering container which had been lifted to the opposite side of the plane from where the journalists travelling with him got on board.

Trump demands Iran pay the families of soldiers killed in the Iran War
Tightening its grip on a key maritime trade route, Iran issued a list of demands for the United States to meet before shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz can resume. All of the demands appear to be non-starters for the White House.
Iranian leaders said the United States must lift its blockade on Iranian ports, withdraw American forces surrounding Iran, lift sanctions, unfreeze Iranian assets, refrain from using insulting and threatening language toward Iran, and pay Iran for damages caused by the war.
In a social media post Monday, President Donald Trump said the last demand on that list was never brought up during past talks with Iran.

How to Sell a Genocide: The Media's Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza | Jstor |
Johnson shows how anti-Palestinian racism among elite liberals and liberal institutions primed Western audiences for genocide
Italics
As bombs rained down on Gaza in October 2023, images of mass death and destruction gripped the world, and openly genocidal statements from Israeli leaders foretold the magnitude of horrors to come. But the US media was quick to downplay, obscure, and repackage an emerging campaign of extermination into a slick "war on terror" framework.
How to Sell a Genocide is an indictment of the US corporate media's role in enabling--and, at times, directly inciting--one of the most devastating campaigns of mass killing in modern memory. Johnson unpacks how major news outlets like The New York Times, CNN, and MSNBC systematically sanitized Israel's war crimes, hid the US's central role, and dehumanized the Palestinian people.
Drawing from deep, original data-driven analysis, Johnson dissects the mechanics of propaganda, from the selective empathy, strategic omissions, overt racism, and repetition of state-sanctioned falsehoods, to the demonization of humanitarian workers and dishonest coverage of campus protests. With clarity and moral force, Johnson argues that the genocide could not have been sustained without the active, ongoing complicity of the US media.

Trump "agreed" to cancel attack on Iran.
"The U.S.A. is locked and loaded and ready to go against the Islamic Republic of Iran, at levels of Military Terror, Strength, and Power not seen since World War II," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Mindset of a mad man
- US pauses its bombing campaign on July 25 after 13 consecutive nights of strikes, with Trump claiming Washington and Tehran were having “good talks”.
- Trump meets Netanyahu at the White House on July 28. Then, at a cabinet meeting at Camp David on July 31, he says the US will continue hitting Iran “very hard” until Tehran can no longer withstand the pressure.
- US media meanwhile report that Washington and Israel are planning “what would be one of the harshest bombing campaigns to date against energy infrastructure targets in Iran”.
- Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi holds separate phone calls with his counterparts in Saudi Arabia and Turkiye, as well as Pakistan’s army chief on August 1, warning of a “decisive and proportionate response” to any US-Israel aggression.
- Trump calls off the threatened attacks, saying Iran and other regional countries had asked Washington to hold off because the parameters of a deal had been agreed.

A though provoking opinion piece in Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant today.
Monopoly on Representation
Author Lenn Rosenkilde
I feel compelled to respond to the opinion piece regarding the Holocaust commemoration at Loods 24. The fact that I have to write this response at all immediately illustrates the oppressive dynamic of the current debate. Jewish organizations that challenge the prevailing narrative are systematically forced into a reactive position by established institutions and governments.
Representatives of the Jewish community and Deputy Mayor Langenberg of Rotterdam lay flowers during the annual commemoration at the 'Wall' and the Jewish Children's Monument. The deportations of Jewish Rotterdammers and Jews from the Southern islands began from Warehouse 24 on July 30, 1942. (Credit ANP / Vincent Mentzel)
This monopoly on representation is dangerous, especially when it masks geopolitical hypocrisy.
