THE " PRESIDENT " IS A FOOL

 First of all , fuckface trump says he wants to " liberate " the Iranian people from their cruel and totalitarian government , and then he says he wants to bomb Iran back to the stone age . As usual , this has zero to do with " freedom " and everything to do with oil , and the fact that the ascendant China does a lot of trading with Iran . 

Both sides are claiming some sort of vague " victory " . I'd say it seems like Iran got the better of it , considering the orange motherfucker thought it would all be over in days . Tough shit , donny .

And the fascist state of israel doesn't want to include Lebanon in the ceasefire ?! Fuck them , and fuck that . Their bloodlust has no limit .

‘Clear and Explicit’: Iran Says Ceasefire Must Include Lebanon or War Continues

Iran has made clear that any ceasefire with the United States must include Lebanon, warning that Washington cannot claim de-escalation while Israeli attacks continue.

Key Developments

• Iran says ceasefire conditions are “clear and explicit,” including Lebanon.
• Tehran warns US cannot combine diplomacy with continued war through Israel.
• Iranian officials accuse Washington of responsibility for ceasefire violations.
• Israeli strikes on Lebanon continue, causing mass civilian casualties.

Araqchi: “Two Options—Ceasefire or War”

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi stated that the terms for a ceasefire are non-negotiable and must apply across all fronts.

In a post on X on Wednesday, he said Washington faces a binary choice: either commit fully to a ceasefire or continue the war through Israel.

He stressed that the two paths cannot be combined, adding that the world is witnessing what he described as massacres in Lebanon and that responsibility now lies with the United States.

Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei told IRNA that Washington bears responsibility for violations carried out by Israel.

He said that, according to Shehbaz Sharif, the United States had pledged that it and its allies would adhere to a ceasefire across all fronts, including Lebanon.

This directly contradicts Israel’s position that Lebanon is excluded.

The Iran–U.S. Ceasefire terms are clear and explicit: the U.S. must choose—ceasefire or continued war via Israel. It cannot have both.

An Iranian political and security source told the Lebanese news network Al-Mayadeen that Tehran does not trust Washington and “never had,” emphasizing that the original proposal aimed to end the war across all arenas of the resistance front.

“We will not remain silent in the face of any attack on Lebanon or aggression against Iran, and the aggressor will be punished strongly and clearly,” the source stated.

Israeli Escalation Continues

Despite the ceasefire framework, Israeli occupation forces carried out a massive wave of airstrikes across Lebanon on Wednesday.

Strikes hit Beirut, the south, the Bekaa Valley, and Mount Lebanon, resulting in hundreds killed and wounded, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health.

The continuation of these attacks has become the central point of dispute shaping both diplomacy and escalation.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian confirmed that Tehran’s 10-point initiative forms the basis for ending the war and explicitly includes a ceasefire in Lebanon as a core condition.

Public Mobilization in Iran

Large demonstrations took place across Iranian cities in support of Lebanon.

In Tehran’s Revolution Square, crowds gathered carrying banners reading “We will not abandon Lebanon,” while chanting slogans such as “Supporting Lebanon is loyalty” and “We refuse to surrender.”

The Revolutionary Guard also stated that it will continue to fulfill its role toward Lebanon, emphasizing the need to respond to attacks and “make the aggressors regret it.”

Iran declares ‘historic victory’ over the U.S., says enemy forced to accept its proposal

By a guest author posted on April 7, 2026

Iranian people risk their lives to protect their infrastructure from U.S. attacks.

The following statement issued by Iran’s Supreme National Security Council in response to the MAGA president’s two-week “ceasefire” was published by Press TV on April 7.

“Good news to the dear nation of Iran! Nearly all the objectives of the war have been achieved.

* “The noble people of Iran should know that, thanks to the sacrifices of their children and their historic presence on the scene, the enemy has been begging for a ceasefire for over a month.

* “However, the country’s officials have responded negatively to all these requests, because it was decided from the very beginning that the war would continue until the objectives were achieved — including the enemy’s regret and desperation, and the removal of the long-term threat to the country.

* “The war has thus continued until today, the fortieth day.

* “Iran has repeatedly rejected the deadlines set by the U.S. president and continues to emphasize that it attaches no importance to any kind of deadline from the enemy.

* “Now we give the great nation of Iran the good news that nearly all the objectives of the war have been achieved, and your brave children have brought the enemy to historic helplessness and lasting defeat.

* “Iran’s historic decision, backed by the unified support of the entire nation, is to continue this battle for as long as necessary, so that its immense achievements are consolidated, and new security and political equations in the region are created based on the acceptance of Iran’s power and sovereignty and that of the Resistance.

* “In this regard, and in accordance with the directive of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Sayyed Mojtaba Khamenei, and the approval of the Supreme National Security Council — and given Iran’s upper hand and that of the Resistance on the battlefield, the enemy’s inability to carry out its threats despite all its claims, and the official acceptance of all the rightful demands of the Iranian people — it was decided that negotiations will be held in Islamabad to finalize the details.

* “So that within a maximum of 15 days, the details of Iran’s victory on the battlefield will also be cemented in political negotiations.

* “In this same vein, while rejecting all enemy proposals, Iran has drafted a 10-article plan and presented it to the American side through Pakistan.

* “In it, Iran emphasized fundamental points such as: controlled passage through the Strait of Hormuz in coordination with Iran’s armed forces (which grants Iran a unique economic and geopolitical position); the necessity of ending the war against all components of the Axis of Resistance (which would mean the historic defeat of the child-killing Israeli regime’s aggression); the withdrawal of U.S. combat forces from all bases and positions in the region; establishing a safe transit protocol in the Strait of Hormuz that guarantees Iran’s dominance according to the agreed protocol; full payment of damages to Iran according to estimates; the lifting of all primary and secondary sanctions and resolutions of the Board of Governors and the Security Council; the release of all of Iran’s blocked assets and properties abroad; and finally, the approval of all these items in a binding U.N. Security Council resolution.

* “It should be noted that the approval of this resolution will turn all these agreements into binding international law and will create a major diplomatic victory for the Iranian nation.

* “Now the honorable Prime Minister of Pakistan has informed Iran that the American side, despite all its apparent threats, has accepted these principles as the basis for negotiations and has submitted to the will of the Iranian nation.

* “Based on this, it was decided at the highest level that Iran will conduct negotiations with the American side in Islamabad for two weeks, strictly based on these principles.

* “It is emphasized that this does not mean the end of the war.

* “Iran will only accept the end of the war once the details are finalized in the negotiations, given the acceptance of the principles set forth in the 10-article plan.

* “These negotiations will begin in Islamabad on Friday, April 10th [21 Farvardin], with complete distrust of the American side.

* “Iran will allocate two weeks for these negotiations. This period can be extended with the agreement of both parties.

* “During this period, it is essential to maintain complete national unity and to continue victory celebrations with strength.

* “The current negotiations are national negotiations and a continuation of the battlefield.

* “All people, elites, and political groups must trust and support this process, which is under the supervision of the Supreme Leader and the highest levels of the system, and must strictly avoid any divisive statements.

* “If the enemy’s surrender on the battlefield translates into a decisive political achievement in the negotiations, we will celebrate this great historic victory together.

* “Otherwise, we will fight side by side on the battlefield until all the demands of the Iranian nation are met.

* “Our hands are on the trigger, and the moment the enemy makes the slightest mistake, it will be met with full force.”

OBNOXIOUS MUSIC

 Right now I'm listening to politically charged hardcore band Ataque Frontal from Peru . This EP is from 1987 , and it fucking shreds . Rough and intense .

WORTH REMEMBERING

 Friday I met up with Hoon and several others in order to remember Angela Morris , and scatter her ashes off of the Breakwater , the same place we did with Jay Brown many years ago.

She passed away in 2023 , but her sister lives on the east coast , and with people's schedules being so crazy , it was a difficult task to get everyone together. I'm happy I was there to be part of remembering someone who was worth remembering . I thank Hoon for letting me know .

Happy Easter to those who celebrate , no matter how .

Angela Morris Obituary

Following a lengthy battle with mental health and addiction, Angela Dawn Morris passed away suddenly on June 5, 2023 at the age of 40. Angela lived a full life, although unfairly short. She was a spunky and vivacious child, a born leader whose love for music was apparent from an early age, exemplified in wild hair and a fashion style all her own. I

n 2008, she earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree, a testament to her dedication and compassion for others. Angela's nursing career led her to Vancouver Coastal Health, where she provided aid and support in Safe Injection Sites on East Hastings. Most recently she was studying psychotherapy and counseling. She already helped so many that struggled, and those who knew her had no doubt she would go on to help many more. Her travels brought her across the globe, where she made long lasting connections with people all over the world. Those who knew Angela accepted her unique spirit and zest for life. Angela had a deep love for her dogs, Butters and Zeus, who were faithful companions throughout her journey.

Angela will be greatly missed by her loving parents (Derrick and Judy), her younger sisters (Melissa and Victoria) and nephews (Liam and Lochlan) who admired and loved her youthful spirit. Angela's raw and unapologetic energy inspired others to embrace their own unique identities and be their most authentic selves.

To honour Angela's contributions to the music community, a Celebration of Life Concert is being held in Victoria, BC. Additionally, a private family memorial will take place at a later date in Newfoundland, where Angela's loved ones will come together to remember her in a more intimate setting. May her courageous battle inspire others to seek help, find strength in their struggles, and strive for a world where mental health and addiction are met with compassion and understanding.

In lieu of flowers, donations to your local mental health and substance abuse non profit programs are greatly appreciated.

Attack on CNN Crew, Rapid Regime’s Response Exposes Israel’s Racist Fault Lines

Does the assault and detention of CNN’s crew by the Zionist military, make the story credible because it emanates from victims who were “White” journalists?

Now that the violent abuse of CNN journalists has led to widespread outrage, does it not warrant questions about the deafening silence whenever Palestinian journalists are routinely targeted and killed by Netanyahu’s war criminals?

The stark hypocrisy and double standards we are confronted with are that those villains who attacked the CNN crew have been “suspended”, while the killers of Palestinian journalists are lauded and promoted to higher ranks.

A report by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) says Israel is to blame for 81% of ‘intentionally targeted’ journalist killings.

Very few transparent investigations have been held into the cases of targeted killings documented by CPJ in 2025, and no one has been held accountable in any of these cases.

In Gaza and the Occupied Palestinian Territories, journalists continue to work amid bombardment, deprivation, personal loss, and displacement.

Their bravery and commitment are recalled in the inspiring words of Wael Al-Dahdouh:

“Because we realised that if we did not fulfill our duty with our will, even if the cost is our lives, then the world will not see what is happening to two million people in this area as a result of the Israeli genocide.”

In one of his interviews, Al-Dahdouh who lost several members of his family who were killed by the Netanyahu regime, and his right forearm still immobilized by a splint since Israeli fire reduced it to pieces in December 2023, confided his unshakeable attachment to his native land – “this territory is part of me,” he said, “it reflects me and I reflect it.”

A day ago, three Lebanese journalists—Ali Shoeib (Al Manar TV), Fatima Ftouni, and her brother, cameraman Mohamed Ftouni (Al Mayadeen)—were killed in a targeted Israeli airstrike on their marked press vehicle in Jezzine, southern Lebanon.

Though the Lebanese government has condemned the killings as a “blatant war crime”, it would be an injustice to end the tragic story by burying it along with the burial of the three martyrs.

The context of CNN’s assignment in the Occupied Palestinian village of Tayasir, where Jeremy Diamond and his team were covering the aftermath of a violent assault on Palestinians by Jewish settlers who established an illegal outpost in the village, is crucial.

The intent to silence the crew and prevent it from exposing Israel’s settlement project is indisputable. To suggest otherwise is to distort the facts.

It was a battalion of soldiers who aggressively descended on the CNN crew and detained them while violently strangling photojournalist Cyril Theophilos in a chokehold, bringing him to ground and damaging his camera.

Latest reports indicate that the implicated reserve battalion, comprised of hundreds of reservists who serve in the ultra-Orthodox Netzah Yehuda battalion, will be immediately “withdrawn from the Occupied West Bank and reassigned to training until further notice”.

In contrast to the total lack of accountability for Palestinian journalists killed, we find the syndrome of “white journalists” at the centre of the storm, resulting in unprecedented speed and scope.

It is thus cynical to discover that while Palestinian journalists have paid a supreme price in their professional capacities, they have not been accorded the response provided to CNN:

The incident represented a “serious ethical and professional failure,” the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement on Monday, adding that the “standards of conduct and discipline demonstrated in the incident do not align with IDF values.”

Recall how Shireen Abu Akleh, a prominent Palestinian-American correspondent for Al Jazeera, was shot and killed by Israeli troops while reporting in Jenin in the Occupied West Bank, in 2022.

Four years later, no one has been charged or held accountable. Despite findings from multiple investigations, including those from the UN, suggesting she was targeted, Israel has refused to launch a criminal probe.

It highlights what human rights groups describe as a “systemic failure” to hold Israeli security forces accountable for the killings of Palestinian journalists.

One can add that the failure is neither accidental nor a glitch. It is obscene racism.

One has to agree with Ramzy Baroud, a Palestinian journalist, author, and editor of The Palestine Chronicle. He has consistently argued that the killing of journalists in Gaza by Israel is not collateral damage, but a systematic, deliberate campaign aimed at eliminating Palestinian truth-tellers and destroying the intellectual leadership of Gaza.
