For the first time a former French PM directly admits that EU is not an independent entity, but an US vassal.

The former French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin spills the beans to a student who asks him if the EU will ever be independent from the US.

He effectively says that Europe is controlled from Washington and it makes no sense for Global South countries to speak to Europe “if the decisions are to be made in Washington”.

The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) holds the 54th meeting for the ongoing debate on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in New York City on Tuesday, September 17. An Emergency Special Session of the UNGA was first held in 1997 in response to Israel’s construction of settlements in East Jerusalem and other areas. Since then, the session has been reconvened multiple times to address new developments in the confli

[Music] Mr

0:24

President I congratulate you for the assumptions of the of the president

0:30

presidency of the 79th

0:36

session Mr President and colleagues Palestine is an important part of

0:44

universal history and the Palestinian people is an integral part of

0:52

humanity neither our country nor our people will

0:57

disappear but that is no escap excuse for ignoring the existential threat they

1:04

are facing Palestinians have carved in a reality of suffering and

1:13

oppression spaces of joy and accomplishment their Spirit has remained

1:22

free even while they were in shackles they have preserved

1:30

hope when everything around them should have L should have led them to

1:37

despair they have been true to their identity regardless of the price they had to pay

1:46

they have been steadfast in the purest of their inalienable rights just like all other

1:56

peoples Mr President the Palestinians want want to live not

2:03

survive they want to be safe in their homes they want their children to go to

2:09

school without fear they want to be free in reality as

2:15

they are in spirit free to live to come and go free

2:23

to determine their own fate subject only to God and to no other

2:32

they want to be to be Palestinians to be

2:38

themselves just be neither Heroes nor

2:44

victims just human beings with the simplest dream of Dreams or the greatest

2:52

of aspirations living in dignity in peace

2:57

and Security in their hom Homeland the Palestinian people is an

3:03

extraordinary people whose true desire is to lead an ordinary

3:11

life Palestinians want to live and thrive in their ancestral

3:18

land where the spirit of the four fathers and four mothers Embraces

3:25

them where the suspended Tales of their lives await to be

3:32

resumed Palestinians want for children to be bury their parents after a long

3:39

and beautiful life rather than for parents to bury their children before

3:46

they could know the meaning of life Palestinian children do not need to

3:53

grow through the lessons of terrifying pain the lessons of life should

4:01

suffice now the sky is full of children whose life was taken

4:07

away way too soon and in the cruelest of

4:13

ways and the death and the Earth is full with children who have suffered who were

4:21

injured paralyzed orphaned and

4:27

traumatized Mr President as we speak in these

4:35

holes coming together yet again to address this grave historic

4:41

Injustice 2 million people are being besieged bombed

4:49

starved they are being displaced over and over again with no Safe Haven

4:57

anywhere with death awaiting them everywhere how many more Palestinians

5:04

need to be killed before change finally takes place

5:09

to stop this inhumanity how many more Palestinians

5:15

need to be violently displaced by the repeated attacks of

5:20

Israeli settlers and occupation forces how many more Palestinians need

5:26

to be snatched in the middle of the night and thrown into an Israeli jail for

5:33

years and years childhoods lost lives

5:39

ruined how much more denial of rights disposition and destruction will it take

5:47

for the world to finally not only react but act until the world not only takes a

5:56

stance but takes a stand and firm acts upon it truly upholding the rule of

6:04

law and human rights Mr President the general assembly

6:11

requested from the international court of justice its authoritative opinion on the

6:18

Israeli occupation and the court upheld its

6:24

mandate allow me to quote the court and I quote

6:30

the sustained abuse by Israel of its position as an occupying power through

6:38

annexation and an assertion of permanent control over the occupied Palestinian

6:45

territory and continued frustration of the right of the Palestinian people to

6:53

self-determination violates fundamental principles of international law and

6:59

renders Israelis presence in the occupied Palestinian territory

7:04

[Music] unlawful unlawful end of

7:10

quotation if we need to identify two Cardinal rules two pillars in which the

7:17

international law based order was built there would be the right of

7:24

peoples to self-determination and the prohibition of the acquisition of territory by

7:30

force and these are the rules that Israel has been breaching openly and

7:37

brazenly for decades without consequences the court for fulfilled its

7:46

mandate by unequivocally identifying the legal

7:51

consequences for Israel all states and the United Nations

7:57

and by placing them before the general assembly the security Council and all

8:04

states to take the necessary measures to ensure compliance with international

8:12

law this was a historic opinion let me

8:17

repeat this was a historic opinion as this was the first time the court

8:24

examined the Israeli occupation as a whole now now that the court has

8:31

answered the request it is time for the general assembly to uphold its

8:37

mandate and for all states to uphold their own obligations to ensure Israel compliance

8:46

with its own in the face of its blatant non-compliance and Relentless

8:54

breaches the Court’s advisory opinion showed that there is no doubt about the

9:02

facts or the law but the law is not there to merely

9:07

serve as a measuring stick of violations it is there to prevent those

9:15

violations and when that does not work it is there to punish them to bring them

9:22

to a halt to ensure accountability to ensure

9:27

Justice unche undeterred Israeli impunity will only

9:33

mean more and more Palestinians killed maed detained more destruction more loss

9:44

more misery it must be brought to an end only then can we expect a genuine

9:53

change that could lead to peace and to the implementation of the two states

10:00

solution Mr President a few voices have claimed that

10:07

departure from the law or its abandonment was the only real realistic

10:14

Way Forward but it is precisely the departure from the law or its breach

10:22

without any consequence that led us here in the first place

10:29

no occupying power can have a veto right over the inalienable rights of the

10:37

people under its occupation let me repeat no occupying power can have a

10:45

veto over a veto right over the inalienable rights of the people under

10:54

its occupation those who think the Palestinian people will accept a life of

11:00

servitude a life of aperti are the ones

11:05

who are not being realistic those who imagine the

11:10

Palestinian people will disappear or Surrender are the ones who are not being

11:18

realistic those who claim that peace is possible in our region without a just

11:25

resolution for the question of Palestine are the ones who are not being

11:31

realistic a few voices claim this is not the right time for such an act such

11:38

action they always find good reasons to keep doing the wrong thing but delayed

11:46

Justice is denied Justice the right time to do the right

11:51

thing is always right now the right time to do the right thing

11:59

is is always right now while looking at a map or Worse

12:06

looking at the horrific situation on the ground the matter may look

12:14

inextricable but the solution is right before our eyes it is the one endorsed by the

12:21

International Community as a whole and enshrined in numerous United Nations

12:28

resolutions it is an independent and sovereign state of Palestine on the 1967 borders with

12:37

East Jerusalem as its capital living side by side in peace and security with

12:44

Israel so why are we allowing the destruction of the State of Palestine

12:51

and of this solution when we know there is no viable

12:56

alternative and we all understand understand the risk of an allout

13:03

configuration what is happening in Gaza today can be the last chapter of the

13:10

tragedy endured by the Palestinian people or will be the first chapter of

13:17

an even more tragedy tragic reality for our region as a

13:24

whole what you do next matters and act now to Stop The Killing

13:33

to stop the suffering to stop these crimes to stop this

13:40

Injustice Mr President I have the honor to introduce the draft resolution under

13:48

consideration in this emergency special session this is the first time since

13:56

we’ve received additional rights and privileges through resolutions that you

14:01

have adopted I am so honored to do that for the first time in the general assembly I

14:08

am so tall I go beyond the ceiling of this General

14:22

Assembly this emergency special sessions entitled and I quote advisory op opinion of the

14:29

international court of justice on the legal consequences arising from Israel’s

14:36

policies and practices in the occupied Palestinian territory including East

arrived at by the court while focusing in its operative paragraphs on the

16:14

obligations of Israel all states and the United Nations

16:19

20:15

[Music]

20:36

thank you Mr President this is my first time speaking here at the general

20:42

assembly after the October 7 Massacre 11 months ago a terrorist Army

20:48

invaded Southern Israel in a single barbaric assault on a Jewish holiday

20:54

they murdered over a thousand of our citizens and carried out the most most anous atrocities in modern history

21:02

hundreds of vibrant young Israelis were murdered while celebrating life at a

21:07

music festival hundreds of innocent people peacefully sleeping in their

21:13

homes with their families were slaughtered some burned alive while holding their loved ones and hundreds

21:20

more were taken hostage dragged into a captivity more brutal than anything

21:26

anyone could ever imagine even now as we speak over 100,000 Israelis remain

21:33

displaced within their own country and able to return home due to the

21:38

Relentless rocket attacks from Hamas in the South and kisala in the

21:44

north perhaps you have forgotten but we did not start this war nor did we choose

21:51

it we are fighting a war forced upon us we are fighting for our homes our

21:58

families our future we fight because we have no other

22:04

choice yet despite the cruelities we have faced despite the unprecedented

22:09

Terror Unleashed Upon Our People this assembly remains

22:15

silent I was certain certain that the first resolution that would be brought

22:21

before you all would be the unanimous unequivocal condemnation of Terror the

22:28

rape the torture the kidnappings that took place on that darkest of days yet there

22:36

has been no condemnation no resolutions instead We

22:41

Gather here to watch the Palestinians un circus a circus where evil is righteous

22:48

war is peace murder is Justified and terror is

22:54

uploaded how dare you continue this tradition of past one-sided resolutions

23:00

against Israel without even pausing to consider what the Israeli people have

23:06

endered since October 7 this assembly has passed two resolutions on this

23:12

matter yet there has not been one word about Hamas and barely a word about the

23:20

hostages those who contribute to this circus are not simply

23:25

bystanders you are participants and enablers

23:30

collaborators every vote you cast in support of this circus Furs the violence

23:36

and embolden those who reject peace this empty show is not just an insult to the

23:42

victims of October 7 an insult to the hostages it is an insult to the very

23:49

fabric of this institution you are not promoting today peace and Justice you are dancing to the

23:56

tune of your ring Masters the Palestinian

24:04

Authority look at this picture look at it closely study it that blood on the floor

24:12

belongs to six beautiful human beings Eden hirh Alex Carmel Ori and

24:22

almog that is their blood six innocent Israelis exec Ed In Cold Blood after

24:30

months of suffering in this tiny dirty tunnel where they couldn’t even stand

24:36

hidden under a child’s bedroom imagine that being your child your spouse your

24:44

friend imagine them for a moment suffocating starving bleeding in a dark

24:50

hole for months if it were your child your loved one would you sit in silence would you

24:57

pretend this was just another story or would you scream for

25:08

justice let me say this clearly Jewish blood is not cheap the

25:15

days when it could be spilled without consequence are over the days when the

25:21

Jewish people where at the mercy of tyrants are over never again will we stand by while

25:29

our people are massacred never again will we depend on your mercy or your

25:36

judgment to protect us thank God that today we can defend ourselves today we

25:44

have the strength to protect our state today we have the resolve to secure our

25:51

future so instead of condemning hamas’s brutal murder of over 1200 Israelis in

25:58

men women and children the assembly sits

26:04

silently in place of this most basic Common Sense action this circus focuses

26:10

on distractions the process that all other countries usually follow has been

26:16

abandoned where are the negotiations the deliberations you have allowed the

26:22

Palestinians to become the RNG Masters and those who vote for this resolution are playing their part

26:29

this resolution distorts the flaw advisory opinion of the icj it ignores

26:34

the truth toist the facts and replaces reality with fiction it ignores completely I didn’t

26:43

hear Mr mansur mentioning Hamas for the last 30 minutes he spoke here it ignores

26:49

the Hamas terror attack of October 7 ignores Israel’s legitimate security

26:54

concerns and seeks to remove Israel’s ability to protect prot itself from the

27:00

beginning we all know that this process was politicized this was not a quest for

27:06

legal Clarity but a predetermined attempt to delegitimize Israel on the

27:11

world stage let’s call this for what it is this resolution is diplomatic

27:18

terrorism using the tools of diplomacy not to build Bridges but to destroy them

27:25

and what other member state is treated that way the answer is simple

27:31

none no other country is subjected to such Relentless obsessive abuse you know

27:37

it’s not my first term here I started my first term at the UN in

27:42

2015 since then there have been 155 General Assembly resolutions

27:50

condemning Israel in the same period there have been only 88 resolutions

27:56

condemning every other country combined

28:02

combined think about the last decade think about how many Buddha regimes

28:07

exist in the world think about the countless injustices yet the only Jewish

28:14

State the only democracy in the Middle East has been condemned almost twice as

28:19

much as the rest of the world combined this is not about Justice is

28:26

about an attempt to to destroy Israel through diplomatic terrorism make no

28:33

backward delaying the hope for peace and advancement I was here on this Podium

32:55

six years ago I stood in this Hall and proposed a resolution to condemn Hamas

but instead of taking action the assembly chose to look the other way

33:07

allowing Hamas to continue its reign of terror and now we are all Israelis and

33:15

Palestinians alike suffering the consequences of your

33:20

inaction back then you chose to support the circus of IMM morality and here we

33:28

are again the same Circus the same performances but we all know what’s

33:34

really happening here this is not about peace this is not about international

33:39

law this is about postering in the circus of the UN you

33:45

can ignore the atrocities that took place on October 7 you can pass resolutions detached from reality you

33:52

can pretend you live on a different planet but in the real world out side

33:58

SCOTT RITTER: 72 Minutes

(https://consortiumnews.com/2024/09/19/scott-ritter-72-hours/)

September 19, 2024

Last weekend, the world came very close to nuclear war.

By Scot tRitter
Special to Consortium News

Most Americans approached last weekend thinking about how they would spend the much-anticipated end of the work week with their friends and family.

Few realize how close they came to actualizing the scenario so horrifyingly spelled out in Annie Jacobsen’s alarming must-read book, Nuclear War: A Scenario.

72 minutes.

That is all it takes to end the world as we know it.

That is less time than most movies playing at the local cinema.

Most people could not drive to the local home improvement store to buy the materials needed to do the little repairs around the home that usually wait for the weekend.

Walk the dogs?

Play with the kids?

Forget about it.

72 minutes.

And everything you thought you lived your life for would be dead.

And if you survived?

To quote Nikita Khrushchev, “The survivors would envy the dead.”

Ukraine, together with many of its NATO allies, has been asking for permission from the United States, the United Kingdom, and France to be able to employ precision-guided long-range weapons systems provided by these countries against targets deep inside Russia.

On Sept. 6, at a meeting of the Ramstein Contact Group, a forum where U.S.-NATO military support to Ukraine is coordinated, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky personally appealed to the group for more weapons support from its Western allies and called on allies to allow Ukraine to use the weapons they provided to strike deeper inside Russia.

Zelensky Seeks ‘Long-Range Capability’

We need to have this long-range capability,” Zelensky said, addressing the attendees, who included U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin,

not only on the divided territory of Ukraine but also on Russian territory so that Russia is motivated to seek peace. We need to make Russian cities, and even Russian soldiers think about what they need: peace or Putin.”

Secretary Austin, in comments made afterwards, said he didn’t think the use of long-range missiles to strike inside Russia would help end the war, adding that he expected the conflict would be resolved through negotiations. Moreover, Austin noted, Ukraine had its own weapons capable of attacking targets well beyond the range of the British Storm Shadow cruise missile.

Despite Austin’s pushback, President Joe Biden appeared to be on track to give Zelensky the green light he was looking for regarding the use of British-provided Storm Shadow cruise missiles and U.S.-provided long-range ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile System) missiles for strikes on Russian soil.

On Sept. 11, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, accompanied by British Foreign Secretary David Lammy, visited Ukraine, where they held meetings with Zelensky and his newly appointed foreign minister, Andrii Sybiha.

Blinken and Lammy, however, failed to make the announcement the Ukrainians were waiting with bated breath to hear. Instead, Blinken and Lammy reiterated the full support of their respective nations to Ukraine’s victory, adding that they would adapt their support to meet Ukrainian needs. “The bottom line is this: We want Ukraine to win,” Blinken said after his meeting with Zelensky.

The stage was now set for Keir Starmer, the prime minister of the United Kingdom, to fly to Washington, D.C., last Friday, where he would meet with Biden and jointly agree to give Ukraine permission to use Storm Shadow and ATACMS against targets inside Russia.

Russia has long made it clear that it would view any nation which authorized the use of its weapons to strike Russia as a direct party to the conflict

In comments to the media in Russia  last Thursday — one day before the Biden-Starmer meeting at the White House — Russian President Vladimir Putin made it clear that any lifting of the restrictions on Ukrainian use of U.S.- and U.K.-provided long-range weapons would change “the very essence of the conflict.”  He said:

This will mean that NATO countries, the United States, European countries are fighting Russia. And if this is the case, then…we will make appropriate decisions in response to the threats that will be posed to us.”

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, speaking after Putin’s announcement, noted that the Russian president’s words were “extremely clear” and that they had reached their intended audience — U.S. President Biden. 

Biden didn’t seem happy about the message. In responding to a question from reporters prior to his meeting with Prime Minister Starmer at the White House about what he thought about Putin’s warning, Biden snapped angrily, “I don’t think much about Vladimir Putin.”

The evidence suggests otherwise.

At a White House press conference that same day, Robbie Gramer, the White House correspondent for Politico, asked John Kirby, the spokesperson for the National Security Council, “Do you take Putin at his words that strikes into Russian territory by U.S. — or British — or French-made missiles would actually expand the war?”

Kirby’s response was telling in many ways. “It’s hard to take anything coming out of Putin’s face at his word.  But this is not rhetoric that we haven’t heard from him before, so there’s really not a lot new there.”

Gramer followed up: “So, in other words, you know, in the deliberations about this long-range strike, threats from Putin are not a big factor for you guys in your deliberations on this?”

Well,” Kirby responded,

you didn’t let me finish the answer, so let me try…I never said, nor have I — would we ever say that we don’t take Mr. Putin’s threats seriously.  When he starts brandishing the nuclear sword, for instance, yeah, we take that seriously, and we constantly monitor that kind of activity.  He obviously has proven capable of aggression

He has obviously proven capable of escalation over the last, now, going on three years. So, yeah, we take these comments seriously, but it is not something that we haven’t heard before.  So, we take note of it.  Got it.  We have our own calculus for what we decide to provide to Ukraine and what not.  And I think I’d leave it there.”

Just to drive the point home, Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations, Vassily Nebenzia, told the Security Council last Friday that NATO would “be a direct party to hostilities against a nuclear power,” if it allowed Ukraine to use longer range weapons against Russia. “You shouldn’t forget about this and think about the consequences,” he declared.

Don’t Play With Fire’

The finishing touches on driving home the seriousness of Putin’s warning was left to the Russian ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Antonov. Speaking to the Russian media also last Friday Antonov said he was surprised that many American officials believed that 

if there is a conflict, it will not spread to the territory of the United States of America. I am constantly trying to convey to them one thesis that the Americans will not be able to sit it out behind the waters of this ocean. This war will affect everyone, so we constantly say – do not play with this rhetoric.”

Putin’s words had caught the attention of several former U.S. government officials, who had called Antonov for clarification.

Yesterday’s statements from Vladimir Putin were weighed very carefully here. Several ex-officials called me asking to explain what actually stands behind those statements. I simply replied: ‘Don’t play with fire.’”

Antonov’s sentiments were likely echoed through existing back-channel communications used by the Department of Defense and the C.I.A.

In the end, the message got through — Biden pulled back from giving Ukraine the permissions it sought.

Most Americans are unaware about how close they came to waking up Saturday morning, only to find that it was their last.

Ukraine Was Ready to Launch

Had Biden yielded to Starmer’s pressure (the British, together with Ukraine and several NATO nations, believed that Putin was bluffing), and signed off on the permission, Ukraine was prepared to launch strikes on Russia that night.

(British soldiers deployed in Ukraine would be needed to operate the Storm Shadows and they are already there, according to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who has refused to send similar weapons to Ukraine.)

Russia would likely have responded with conventional attacks on Kiev using new weapons, such as the Avangard hypersonic warhead, which would each deliver a blow equivalent to 26-28 tons of explosives.

Russia would also most likely have struck NATO targets in Poland and Romania where Ukrainian fighters are based. And, lastly, Russia would have struck British military targets, possibly including those on the British Isles.

This would prompt a NATO retaliation under Article 5, using a large number of NATO long-range strike weapons targeting Russian command and control, airfields, and ammunition storage facilities.

The Russian response would most likely involve the launching of more Avangard conventional warheads against NATO targets, including Ramstein airbase and NATO headquarters, as well as airbases from which strikes against Russia were launched.

At this juncture the United States, using nuclear employment plans derived from a nuclear posture which emphasizes the pre-emptive use of low yield nuclear weapons to “escalate to deescalate”— i.e., force Russia to back down through a demonstration of capability — would authorize the use of one or more low-yield nuclear warheads against Russian targets on Russian soil.

But Russian doctrine has no capacity for engaging in a limited nuclear war. Instead, Russia would respond with a general nuclear retaliation targeting all of Europe and the United States.

Whatever U.S. strategic forces that survived this onslaught would be fired at Russia.

And then we all die.

72 minutes.

And the world ends.

We were one stroke of the pen away from this outcome on Friday, Sept. 13, 2024.

This isn’t a drill.

This isn’t an academic exercise.

This is the real world.

This is life or death.

This is your future held hostage by a madman in Kiev, backed by lunatics in Europe.

The question is — what are we going to do about it?

There is an election on Nov. 5 where the next commander-in-chief of the United States will be selected by “we, the people.”

This person will be the one holding the pen in any future scenario where life or death decisions that could manifest into a general nuclear war will be made.

It is incumbent upon we, the people, to make sure that Americans demand the candidates for this office articulate their policy vision regarding the war in Ukraine, the prospects of peace with Russia, and what they will do to prevent the outbreak of nuclear war.

But they won’t do that if we, the people, remain silent about the issue.

Stand up.

Speak out.

Demand to be heard.

72 minutes is all it takes to end life as we know it.

We almost all died over the weekend of Sept. 14-15, 2024.

What are we going to do to make sure that doesn’t happen again?
