Israel’s “Samson Option” and their plan to nuke Western nations if they abandon Tel Aviv revealed by Scott Horton.

Hi everyone, I'm writing this post to shed light on what we're going through in France just for wanting to dance and protest against the Macron government.
Last weekend was the 33rd edition of FrenchTek.
FrenchTek is basically an event that's been taking place in France for over 30 years an anarchist festival organized without any official representatives, free, self-managed,where everyone is welcome
and above all undeclared to the authorities.
Every year the location is revealed at the last minute.
This year, it brought together around 30,000 people and was held on a military site: the Bourges Polygon.
Why there?
The Bourges Polygon is a deadly laboratory where the French army and profit-driven private operators test various weapons at the expense of human lives.
Bourges was named the 2028 European Capital of Culture, which FrenchTek is part of.
Bourges is also the birthplace of Laurent Nuñez, the Minister of the Interior.
Faced with this event, clashes took place with the gendarmes. 600 gendarmes were deployed but they failed to stop the festival. 6 gendarmes were injured and taken to the hospital
Despite this the évent unfolded peacefully and in a good atmosphere with no major incidents
the propaganda machine went into overdrive.
While diesel is at 2.20€ per litre (≈ –10 USD per gallon), entire families are struggling to afford housing and food, the rich are getting richer and the poor poorer. The billionaire-owned far-right media spent the entire weekend spreading all kinds of filth, calling the festival-goers addicts, parasites, and stinking losers.
In response to the controversy created by these media outlets, the government’s priority was to rush through a new law inspired by far right Italy an extremely harsh law never before seen in a so called “democratic” country. It includes:
fining every single festival goer 1,500€,
systematically seizing and destroying all sound equipment and vehicles used for undeclared rave parties,
adding participation in the festival to people’s criminal records (ruining their future job prospects),
sentencing anyone who helped in any way with the installation or setup of the festival to 2 years in prison and a 30,000€ fine
Macron wants to send thousands of young people to prison just for wanting to dance and protest against this shitty government.
All the people you see in these videos are now considered criminals in France, as participating in a rave party is now treated as a criminal offense.
After the festival, police handed out thousands of fines and confiscated dozens of trucks full of sound equipment to destroy it all.
I wanted to share this with you because I feel like few people understand just how much of a fascist Macron really is, and how deeply the French hate him. He’s no better than Donald Trump he’s a puppet of the billionaires.
Worldwide press talking about this event :
https://edition.cnn.com/2026/05/02/europe/france-illegal-rave-military-intl
Edit: The sources are from this weekend and the information is not completely up to date, particularly regarding the number of tickets issued, which is indeed several thousand as shown by this article
Edit 2: For those who think I added too much editorializing to the article I invite you to watch the interview of the Minister of the Interior. I'm not making anything up. There is a 2 year prison sentence for anyone who helps in any way to organize the rave party (even the guy managing the parking) registration in the TAJ for simply participating in a rave party (issues with criminal records).
I also invite you to read for yourself the 2 laws aimed at severely repressing the rave parties.

Hey r/WorkReform. I’ll be here starting around 2 PM EST to answer your questions.
I’m running for the U.S. Senate because working people are being squeezed while too many politicians are serving wealthy donors and not the people.
Across New Hampshire, I hear the same thing: people are working harder than ever but still can’t keep up with rising costs of gas, rent, and childcare. At the same time, my AIPAC-bribed opponent, Chris Pappas, prioritizes big donors and corporate interests.
I’m running a true grassroots campaign:
- No AIPAC or corporate PAC money
- No billionaire-funded super PACs
- Powered by small donors and volunteers
Here’s what I’m fighting for:
- Medicare For All
- Pro Act and a $20+ minimum wage
- Stronger unions to fight the billionaire class
- End the genocide of Palestinians and arrest Netanyahu for war crimes
- Stop spending billions of dollars bombing Iran and Lebanon
- Abolish ICE
- Overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics
This race is a real test: can a grassroots campaign win against an AIPAC-bribed career politician backed by the establishment?

*URGENT ACTION FOR OHIO - Call your state reps to oppose the Ohio-Israel Trade Partnership (HB 188)
*URGENT ACTION: Opponent testimony scheduled Tuesday MAY 12th at 3pm*
*Script & state rep info in link*
HB 188 the Ohio‑Israel Trade and Innovation Partnership would create a broad, undefined framework for “bilateral trade and investment,” “policy issues of mutual interest,” “business and academic exchanges,” and “mutual economic support.” The bill also authorizes “mutual investment in the infrastructure of Ohio and Israel” and leaves open “other issues as determined by the partnership,” without specifying limits, oversight, or measurable benefits to Ohio.
The bill references “specific industries, emerging technology opportunities, and innovation clusters,” yet provides no clarity on which sectors would be prioritized or why. It also expands beyond bilateral cooperation by encouraging multilateral partnerships involving Israel and nations across Africa, Asia, Europe, the Gulf Cooperation Council, and Oceania, again without explaining how these arrangements would benefit Ohio taxpayers.
At no point have the sponsors provided projections, data, or concrete examples demonstrating what this partnership would deliver for Ohio or how outcomes would be measured.
Earlier versions of HB 188 included $10 million in appropriations, paid trips for representatives to Israel, and agriculture‑related language. These provisions were removed but could be reinstated at any time. Sponsor testimony continues to reference agriculture despite its removal from the bill text.

Defund Aid to Israel Letter to Members of Congress regarding the Gaza Genocide, May 8, 2026
Here is my letter I e-mailed to my U.S. congressional reps for my state, the Chairmans of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee (Senator James Risch) and House Committee on Foreign Affairs (Rep Brian Mast), & the Chair of the Senate State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs (Senator Lindsey Graham). Please take as is or make adjustments as you see fit to send to members of Congress.

---------------------------------------
The current situation in Gaza is defined by a deepening humanitarian catastrophe—characterized by some officials as a “biological apocalypse”—and a fragile, frequently violated ceasefire that has seen continued territorial expansion by the Israeli military. As of May 2026, Israel has expanded its control to nearly 60% of the Gaza Strip, forcing the displaced population into approximately 40% of the enclave.
Updated Death Tolls
The human cost of the conflict continues to rise despite the cessation of full-scale "scorched earth" bombing campaigns:
- Total Fatalities: Since the start of the conflict on October 7, 2023, the recorded death toll has reached 72,615 Palestinians killed and 172,468 injured. Thousands more remain missing under the rubble.
- Post-Ceasefire Fatalities: Since the U.S.-brokered ceasefire began in October 2025, Israeli military actions have killed at least 834 Palestinians. Additionally, 768 bodies have been recovered from beneath the rubble during this same period.
The Humanitarian Crisis: "A Biological Apocalypse"
Humanitarian coordinators warn that Gaza is facing a "calculated ecological disaster" due to the total collapse of essential infrastructure.
- Water and Sanitation: Approximately 97% of groundwater is undrinkable, and daily water access has plummeted to between three and five liters per person—dropping as low as one liter in northern Gaza. All sewage systems are currently offline, resulting in 130,000 cubic meters of untreated waste being discharged into the sea daily.
- Rodent Infestations: Over 80% of displacement sites are infested with large, aggressive rodents—including the Norway rat—which bite children and the elderly while they sleep, spreading diseases like hantavirus and Leptospirosis.
- Disease Outbreaks: The unsanitary conditions have fueled nearly half a million cases of acute diarrhea and over 70,000 cases of ectoparasitic infestations (such as scabies and lice) in 2026 alone.
Infrastructure and Aid Restrictions
The crisis is exacerbated by ongoing Israeli restrictions on the entry of critical supplies.
- Blocked Supplies: Israel has reportedly denied the entry of rodenticides, insecticides, and waste removal equipment, citing security concerns. While Israeli agencies claim to have allowed some pest control materials, local officials state that traps and current poisons are unworkable in the "topography of rubble".
- Aid Trucks: Although the ceasefire agreement envisaged up to 600 aid trucks per day, the actual average remains just over 200 trucks daily.
- Widespread Destruction: Approximately 80% of water infrastructure and 71% of desalination plants have been destroyed, leaving families to cook and wash in refuse-contaminated areas.
Military officials have recently indicated that operational plans to resume full-scale war are complete and pending final political approval, further heightening fears for the two million Palestinians who remain displaced within the enclave.
In response to the ongoing genocide and humanitarian crisis in Gaza, I urge you to:
· Support H.R.3565 To provide for a limitation on the transfer of defense articles and defense services to Israel.
· Support S.3634 AWARE Act to impose sanctions on Israeli officials to discourage the government from obstructing humanitarian assistance

This is a snippet from a rehearsal at Casa Del Lung.
We’ve been working on a new record for sometime that’s heavily influenced by the unfolding events in the Middle East…something very close to home as I’m Half Lebanese 🇱🇧. Tbh it’s my first time venturing into writing and singing in Arabic…
It’s a call to mobilize people - to inspire speaking out against the injustices taking place around the world.
We’re sick of people’s complacency in the face of all this injustice. The youth of today are the only ones who will hold truth to power.
We’re holding a benefit concert for Doctors Without Borders along side our friends from Kasador & Dumb crush May 23rd at the Rainbow.
Join us - help make a difference - help us make some noise
Your voice counts and every little bit of support means a lot

Here is my letter I e-mailed to my U.S. congressional reps for my state and the Chairmans of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee (Senator James Risch) and House Committee on Foreign Affairs (Rep Brian Mast), and the Chairman of the House Committee on the Judiciary (Rep Jim Jordan). Please take as is or make adjustments as you see fit to send to your members of Congress.
Hind Rajab Act bill update: House - 03/12/2026 Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Contact Us | Congress.gov | Library of Congress
Letter:
Today, May 3, 2026, marks what should have been Hind Rajab’s 8^(th) birthday. On January 29, 2024, Hind was attempting to evacuate the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood in Gaza City with six family members when an IDF tank unit, positioned just 13 to 23 meters away, fired 335 bullets into their civilian vehicle. Hind was the only survivor of the initial attack and remained trapped for hours in the wreckage surrounded by the bodies of her deceased relatives; her terrified pleas for help were recorded by the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) during a series of desperate phone calls. Although a rescue was attempted, the ambulance dispatched to save her was shelled and burned, killing paramedics Yusuf al-Zeino and Ahmed al-Madhoun instantly. Hind’s decomposing body was eventually discovered 12 days later alongside her family once the IDF evacuated the area.
· In light of this injustice, I urge you to support H.R.7903 Justice for Hind Rajab Act to call for accountability for the killing of innocent civilians, including Hind Rajab and the two paramedics.
