Season’s greetings, fellow godless communists. I’m here to disseminate orders from our Supreme Communist Dictator as we once again find ourselves fighting against the very concept of Christmas. As a reminder, by the end of our five-year plan, we plan to be in a position to attack and dethrone God, but this intermediate step is required to fulfil this directive. Our forces in the field have made significant, if gradual, progress since you received your mission update last year. It has been difficult, but we have developed a series of defensive lines to prepare for a counteroffensive out of Lapland that will try and reach the Gulf of Bothnia in an attempt to cut the land bridge that we have set up across Scandinavia.
Currently, we foresee a few major threats. General Santa Clauswitz has been developing many tools in his workshop, including artillery-launched snowballs, barbed tinsel, and reinforced gingerbread armor plating for his tanks and infantry carriers. President Frostyy has made the following public statement: “The socialists who wish to destroy us have no idea what their defenses are about to face. Democracy will always defeat autocracy. Christmas will always triumph over X-mas. The leaders of the axis facing us are all on the naughty list and will be tried for crimes against festivity once this war is over.”
Delusional as this may be, the next couple days will be the most dangerous as they stage their counteroffensive, and we need everybody to pitch in and get into defensive positions. We expect this to be the last major push that they will make before collapse. Please report any Christmas trees, mistletoe, or general symbology of the Christmas regime to your superiors.
Over and out.

Israel-Palestine Conflict
Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:
UNRWA daily-ish reports on Israel’s destruction and siege of Gaza and the West Bank.
English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account. Alt here.
English-language twitter account that collates news (and has automated posting when the person running it goes to sleep).
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon. - Telegram is @IbnRiad.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis. - Telegram is @EyesOnSouth.
English-language Twitter account in the same group as the previous two. - Telegram here.
English-language PalestineResist telegram channel.
More telegram channels here for those interested.
Various sources that are covering the Ukraine conflict are also covering the one in Palestine, like Rybar.
Russia-Ukraine Conflict
Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Sources:
Defense Politics Asia’s youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don’t want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it’s just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists’ side.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.
Pro-Russian Telegram Channels:
Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.
https://t.me/aleksandr_skif ~ DPR’s former Defense Minister and Colonel in the DPR’s forces. Russian language.
https://t.me/Slavyangrad ~ A few different pro-Russian people gather frequent content for this channel (~100 posts per day), some socialist, but all socially reactionary. If you can only tolerate using one Russian telegram channel, I would recommend this one.
https://t.me/s/levigodman ~ Does daily update posts.
https://t.me/patricklancasternewstoday ~ Patrick Lancaster’s telegram channel.
https://t.me/gonzowarr ~ A big Russian commentator.
https://t.me/rybar ~ One of, if not the, biggest Russian telegram channels focussing on the war out there. Actually quite balanced, maybe even pessimistic about Russia. Produces interesting and useful maps.
https://t.me/epoddubny ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/boris_rozhin ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/mod_russia_en ~ Russian Ministry of Defense. Does daily, if rather bland updates on the number of Ukrainians killed, etc. The figures appear to be approximately accurate; if you want, reduce all numbers by 25% as a ‘propaganda tax’, if you don’t believe them. Does not cover everything, for obvious reasons, and virtually never details Russian losses.
https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses ~ Pro-Russian, documents abuses that Ukraine commits.
Pro-Ukraine Telegram Channels:
Almost every Western media outlet.
https://discord.gg/projectowl ~ Pro-Ukrainian OSINT Discord.
https://t.me/ice_inii ~ Alleged Ukrainian account with a rather cynical take on the entire thing.
I got sent this Reddit link of some guy filming an auto store in North Korea and loudly saying that everybody there were actors putting on a show while people gave him weird looks. It’s always astounding how some Qanon nutjob doing that in the US would be labelled as a far-right conspiracy theorist but do it in bad country and the liberals eat it up. Westerners are profoundly stupid to believe that shit. The funniest part was that there were other white dudes giving this guy weird looks.
North Korea is allegedly wanting to be a tourist destination and I fear for the number of sexpats, Evangelical missionaries, and ideologues that will be coming in.
that video was crazy, he was filming someone checking out a car and went “ok so this is clearly a paid actor pretending to be interested in this car”
A carshop is the one thing you’d expect to find in a sanctioned country like North Korea. From what I understand it’s the same as in Cuba. You can’t just acquire new parts or cars with relative ease, so you gotta have a cottage industry of people who are very adept in maintaining or fixing those cars. I remember this (very normie, and not, like, a leftist or something) explaining to me that the cubans invented some sort of common fix’er upper thing that carshops tend to do in Brazil.
Like I don’t even doubt there are special facilities for tourists in NK. Can’t you have a mental breakdown in a less mundane place?
That’s literally Mexico - nice resorts in places like Acapulco that are totally removed from the life of the city, Americans go there an never leave the resort.
I’m still astonished that they can go to the country and are so heavily propagandized that they still cling on to the narrative that everyone is putting on a show for them.
Hope you stay astonished forever
The alternative is to just sink into misanthropism
So do I. At this point in my life it’s a miracle I haven’t with the shit I’ve seen.
What does it say about a society if it can afford to have actors doing all this stuff for every dickhead tourist with a phone camera?
at that point it would be easier to just do the things for real… oh. wait
yooooooo sign my ass up
Death to America
It’s been on my list for awhile, I’m hoping if I am ever in the position to take a rail tour of Asia (ultimate plan is Ho Chi Minh City to Lisbon by rail, with side trips/taking the long way to experience more Chinese high speed rail) I’ll be able to take a side trip to Pyongyang. But that’s years off, I’ll have to finish school, save for a few years, and see what the world looks like by then
that sounds fucking amazing tbh, good luck making it happen!
Death to America
NK is not shy about prosecuting foreigners. I think they will handle sexpats appropriately.
