Psychopathische Eliten: Warum sich die Menschheit hĂśchstwahrscheinlich selbst zerstĂśrt

(Aubust 5, 2025)

Kemp sieht in diesen „Agenten des Untergangs“ die Ursache für den gegenwärtigen Kurs in Richtung gesellschaftlichen Zusammenbruch. „Das sind die großen, psychopathischen Unternehmen und Konzerne, die globale Katastrophen riskieren“, sagt er. „Atomwaffen, Klimawandel und künstliche Intelligenz werden nur von einer sehr kleinen Zahl verschwiegener, sehr wohlhabender und mächtiger Gruppen wie dem militärisch-industriellen Komplex, Big Tech und der Industrie für fossile Brennstoffe produziert.“

„Der springende Punkt ist, dass es nicht um die gesamte Menschheit geht, die diese Bedrohungen schafft. Es geht nicht um die menschliche Natur. Es geht um kleine Gruppen, die das Schlimmste in uns hervorbringen, die um Profit und Macht konkurrieren und alle [Risiken] vertuschen.“

Death by bombardments. Death by malnutrition and starvation. Death by lack of aid and vital services. In Gaza, an average of 28 children a day – the size of a classroom – have been killed.

(August 4, 2025)

Gaza‘s children need food, water, medicine and protection. More than anything, they need a ceasefire, NOW.

Starvation taking ‘absolutely huge’ toll on Gaza’s wounded

…some more quotes from our interview with Victoria Rose, a British consultant plastic Surgeon who’s recently returned from Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis.

Asked about the long-term struggles faced by the thousands of wounded people and what care they would have, she replied that “there really is no way” that these patients can be rehabilitated under the current circumstances.

“There’s virtually no infrastructure left; I think 69 percent of all buildings in Gaza have been destroyed and 94 percent of all hospitals have been completely or partially destroyed – and that will include all the physiotherapy centres,” she told Al Jazeera.

Gaza extermination: What is your last thought when you‘re starving to death?

(July 21, 2025)

I have an idea of what runs through a person’s mind as they are about to be killed in an air strike. Most people in Gaza do. We have had those thoughts so often that they are embedded in our nervous system; they will never fully leave, even decades after this genocide ends.

I also understand the type of thoughts that consume people dying due to the lack of medical care. I lived that moment with someone very close to me. I looked into their eyes as they took their final breaths. I could almost hear their thoughts.

But starvation is different. I picture someone lying on a bed, dying in total silence – a silence so powerful it can kill bones, muscles, flesh and blood. A silence stronger than the 125,000 tonnes of explosives that have been dropped on Gaza over the past 21 months. A silence that keeps borders sealed and food blocked from entry.

What do they feel, knowing that they have survived thousands of air strikes, artillery shells, field executions, epidemics and the collapse of the health system, only to die because they could not get the bare minimum calories a human needs to stay alive?

Do they feel betrayed by humanity?

PRESS RELEASE: ‘Blood aid’ and repeated mass displacement create catastrophic humanitarian crisis in Gaza

Copenhagen, 5 August 2025 – A new survey of Palestinian living in Gaza by the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) reveals a harrowing nightmare in Gaza, where a population exhausted by extreme hunger and multiple displacements is being systematically denied safe access to aid.

Based on protection monitoring interviews with people in Gaza from 22 May to 27 July 2025 in 25 displacement sites in Deir al-Balah, Khan Younis, Gaza City and North Gaza, the survey exposes the life-threatening consequences of the American and Israeli-backed distribution scheme and the severe psychological toll on a population with no safe haven. Key findings from the survey show a population at breaking point.

A staggering 70 precent of respondents cited extreme weakness caused by starvation as a barrier to accessing aid. The physical exhaustion is so profound that many are unable to make the long journey on foot to distribution sites or carry heavy loads even if they receive assistance.

First Person: Documenting despair and finding hope amidst the rubble of Gaza

(August 4, 2025)

It is enough to listen for a few minutes: Planes buzz incessantly overhead, and airstrikes silence everything except fear which, although invisible, fills every space between our tents and seeps into our bodies.

At night, there’s absolute darkness except for the flashes of bombing.

We sleep knowing that waking up is not guaranteed.

What to know as Israel considers reoccupying Gaza in what would be a major escalation of the war

It would mark a stunning escalation of the nearly 22-month war in the territory that has already been largely destroyed and where experts say famine is unfolding. It would put the lives of countless Palestinians and about 20 living hostages at risk, and deepen Israel‘s already stark international isolation.

It would also face fierce opposition within Israel: Families of the hostages would consider it a virtual death sentence, and much of the security establishment is also reportedly opposed to an open-ended occupation that would bog down and further strain the army after nearly two years of regional wars.

Trump admin live updates: Occupying Gaza ‚pretty much up to Israel,‘ Trump says

Trump was asked whether he‘d support a full Israeli occupation of Gaza as Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has suggested. The president sidestepped, saying only that everything beyond food aid is „pretty much up to Israel.“

“Well, I don‘t know what the suggestion is. I know that we have, we are there now trying to get people fed,” Trump said.
