Pro-Palestinian Encampment Cleared at University of Chicago
After University of Chicago Police Department officers cleared the pro-Palestinian encampment overnight at the South Side campus, remnants of the encampment were found in dumpsters near the quad on Tuesday.
Protesters gathered in the quad on Tuesday to rally against the removal of the encampment, with University of Chicago Assistant Professor Eman Abdelhadi speaking at the event.
Despite the clearance of the encampment, protesters remain determined to push the school to divest from Israel and support Palestinian students, emphasizing that this is just one tactic in a larger campaign.
A coalition of over 120 faculty and academic staff from the University of Chicago had previously urged the school's administration to resume negotiations with the encampment organizers.

On the 25th anniversary of the NATO bombing that also affected the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived with a delegation of 400 people for a two-day visit to Serbia, during which the main topic will be the further strengthening of relations between Belgrade and Beijing.
The Chinese president’s visit was announced by Aleksandar Vucic back in February at the reception the head of state gave for the Chinese ambassador to Serbia on the occasion of the Lunar New Year. The date of the visit is significant because on May 7, 1999 – when NATO had already been bombing the former Yugoslavia for a month and a half – the Chinese embassy in Belgrade was also hit, and as a result of th

Stormy Daniels confirms: ‘I had sex with Trump’
“The intention was quite clear, someone gets naked and poses for you… I took off my clothes and shoes, then I took off my bra. We were in the missionary position…”. The porn star Stormy Daniels was the most awaited witness in Donald Trump’s trial and she did not disappoint expectations, telling in the courtroom for over two hours the spicy details of the night of sex that the tycoon continues to deny and clearly embarrassing the former president running for the White House again.
He, sitting a few meters away, remained almost always impassive, only giving her a few glances at the beginning and shaking his head when he spoke about Melania. She, accustomed to treading various types of stage, was instead perfectly at her ease and a river in flood, so much so that her accuser repeatedly asked her to speak more slowly. At the center of the trial are the 130 thousand dollars paid to the porn star so that he would not reveal the meeting which would have damaged Trump’s candidacy on the eve of the 2016 elections. Money paid personally by Michael Cohen, The Donald’s all-round lawyer, and reimbursed by the tycoon as fictitious legal expenses in violation of accounting and electoral laws.
Stephanie Clifford, aka Stormy Daniels, began her deposition by describing her career, from exotic dancing with which in two evenings she could “earn more than I would have earned shoveling manure eight hours a day” to nightclubs, to her work as a model and photo model up to to the porn industry. She then moved on to the first “very brief” meeting with “Mr Trump”, as she called him throughout the hearing. In July 2006 you were in a golf tournament for VIPs in Lake Tahoe, between California and Nevada. The jurors were shown the famous photo from that day which immortalizes Stormy and Trump dressed in a yellow golf shirt and a red cap. The two met for dinner at the hotel, where Tr

The Russians will be responsible for Dagestan before the Jews: The hellish plan of Russia’s enemies
– 2024-05-08 00:55:38
/ world today news/ The unrest in Makhachkala not only led to the closure of the airport. We are talking about systematic sabotage, as a result of which the whole of Russia was under an information attack. How did it happen that the sabotage was so successful, what to do now with the rioters, how the Russian authorities should work, that is the question.
Who benefits should not watch
The unrest in Dagestan was not so much a spontaneous manifestation of the solidarity of young Muslims with the victims of Jewish aggression in Gaza, but rather the result of a well-thought-out enemy provocation.
Not long after, the guarantors and some of the perpetrators of this provocation were discovered. A very famous foreign agent, a former member of the State Duma, a terrorist, who previously took responsibility for the preparation of the assassination of Daria Dugina, Ilya Ponomarev* has already signed that he led the activities of the “Tomorrow Dagestan” telegram channel.
This telegram channel was apparently one of the main tools for agitating young people to participate in mass riots.
The situation with customers is even simpler: the joy of what happened in the Ukrainian and Israeli Telegram channels is such that the question “who benefits” is somehow even absurd.
“It’s not nice to be suspicious when you’re absolutely sure.”
However, if that is not enough, you can also listen to the nightly speech of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky. He so gleefully accused Russia of “pogroms” as if he was just waiting for the opportunity. Turns out I was really waiting.
The important word is “pogrom”
You must understand clearly. What happened in Makhachkala is not just a “gift” for Russophobic propaganda that is broadcast in the USA, Ukraine, Israel and elsewhere.
The provocation in Makhachkala pursued a very specific goal: legitimizing the war against the Russian Empire. What happened was almost immediately called, not just anything, but a “pogrom.”
The “pogroms” are the most important part of the myth on which stands the Russophobia of the West and Zionism in particular. Without, as it is customary to say now, the “narrative” of the “pogroms”, of the “terrible Cossacks” who did nothing but frighten and torture the Jews, there would be neither a powerful Jewish community in America nor in Israel .
And to understand how this narrative works, at least watch the recently released film “Golda”, it is also in Russian. The prime minister of Israel in this film is about the terrible Cossacks, who she was afraid of for the rest of her life as a child, says Henry Kissinger.
Without the “pogroms”, Russophobic propaganda would have been much less convincing to the West itself. It’s just that without the “pogroms” it would have been much harder for the West to hate Russia.
So now, “thanks” to the events in Makhachkala, the West has in its hands a magnificent, best weapon for shouting: Bandera’s people are not at all what they seem. But the Russians organize “pogroms” her
