Roger Waters loses suit over Gaza genocide claims, Trump to reinstitute tariffs on Canada and more: Links 1 for February 25, 2025

1. So… I guess there is something to this after all.

WATCH: Florida Senate passes bill banning geoengineering and weather modification, repealing licensing and reporting requirements, and prohibiting activities that alter temperature and weather

2. It appears that Trump has taken away the monopoly of the Narrative creating AP wire service for WH press conferences and special events, and is making himself available to the new media and a much more far reaching audience than ever before. I can’t really find anything wrong with this. And it is interesting that the AP went to a judge to try and get a restraining order to protect their monopoly and was denied.

3. New post by Emmanuel Goldstein, on false genocide accusations. Regulars of this site will be familiar with Stephen Coughlin’s thesis that false accusations of Israeli genocide of Gazans are a dialectic intersectional attack on the reality of the actual Holocaust. That it is meant to delegitimize the fact of the Nazi Holocaust of the Jewish people. Goldstein looks at the facts of the actual war between Israel and Gaza, and interestingly, the now decided law suit against former Pink Floyd bassist, Roger Waters. 

Section 1: Roger Waters Loses Libel Case – A Turning Point

On February 25, 2025, a UK High Court delivered a striking verdict: Roger Waters, the former Pink Floyd frontman, lost a libel case over his inflammatory claim that journalist John Ware was a cheerleader for “genocide” against Palestinians. Waters didn’t stop there—he branded Ware a “lying, conniving Zionist mouthpiece” during an interview on Al Jazeera, a network now potentially facing damages alongside him. The court ruled these statements defamatory, marking a rare legal pushback against the reckless rhetoric that’s become all too common in debates about Israel. You can read more at antisemitism.org on the background and summary of this case.

This isn’t just a juicy celebrity story—it’s a window into a much bigger problem. For years, accusations of “genocide” have been lobbed at Israel with little regard for evidence, often by public figures like Waters who wield outsized influence. These claims don’t just distort reality; they ignite hostility toward Jews and Zionists (which includes 95% of Jews) worldwide, fueling a cycle of misinformation and division. In this post, we’re peeling back the layers of this narrative. We’ll look at what the International Court of Justice (ICJ) actually said about Israel’s actions, how these falsehoods stoke anti-Semitism and prop up groups like Hamas, and why they cut especially deep for a people still healing from the Holocaust. Oh, and we’ll toss in some hard numbers to show how Israel’s military record stacks up against the hype. Let’s dig in.

Section 2: The ICJ Ruling: No Genocide, Not Even “Plausible”

Despite the storm of accusations, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has not found Israel guilty of genocide in Gaza—not even a “plausible” one. This critical fact, often buried under louder narratives, was laid bare in a January 2024 ruling and reiterated by the ICJ’s then-president, Joan Donoghue, in a video interview that deserves a closer look. You can watch it here:

4. At the start of the month, this site predicted that President Trump would implement even harsher measures on Canada once he saw that Trudeau lied to him, which should be no surprise, that is all Trudeau ever does whenever he says anything. We estimated that Trump would give him a few weeks to fix various issues like the border and so on, and then would go to town on Canada while Trudeau and Carney would attempt to whip up TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) with the help of the propaganda-dialectical media in Canada, and continue to destroy Canada but make it look like Trump’s fault.

Here we go. If you have any US cash, hang on to it.

Joe Rogan actually has a a good read on Trudeau

Actually I have the same question for Trudeau that he had for one of his detractors. “Are you still here?”

5. Is this even news anymore? Put another way, it might be if the headline was accurate. Something like, French Government imported and funded Islamic jihadi despite ten deportation orders by the small part of the French government that still works for the French people. Ok it could be worded better.

Revealed: Terrorist arrested over France police attack on Saturday is unmasked as extremist the country failed to deport TEN TIMES

The terrorist arrested over the stabbing attack on police in France has been unmasked as an extremist the European country tried to deport ten times. 

Brahim A., an Algerian national aged 37, has been named by French media as the man behind the bloodbath that left a man dead and two others injured in Mulhouse, eastern France, on Saturday afternoon.

The attacker was heard screaming ‘Allahu Akbar’ – Arabic for ‘God is the Greatest’ – as he plunged a knife into a 69-year-old Portuguese civilian in a covered market, before slashing at two policemen.
