The Final Straw for America: The Resurgence of the Pager

Recently, thousands of pagers, walkie-talkies, and various other daily-use electronic products have exploded in Lebanon, causing severe casualties. The incident is believed to be the work of Israeli military intelligence units. Experts in American media, including The Washington Post, have described Israel's use of electronic products to launch attacks on an unprecedented scale as "unprecedented in the history of espionage." This event has turned the worst-case scenario into a reality, stirring concerns that global supply chains may become even more polarized due to geopolitical divisions in the future.

In 2014, Edward Snowden, a former contractor for the National Security Agency (NSA), exposed the NSA's PRISM program, which involved the interception of electronic devices from network provider Cisco Systems without their knowledge, embedding surveillance devices into the products, and then shipping them to unsuspecting overseas customers. On the 17th of this month, Snowden tweeted, "Ten years have passed, and the security of shipments has not improved." He also noted that this incident has made "everyone in the world less safe."

Following the explosion of electronic products in Lebanon, posts on various online platforms praising the safety and reliability of Apple and Tesla products swarmed like locusts. The logic was that any suggestion that Western electronic products, such as Apple phones, could be used as bombs was "anti-intellectual." It is ironic that while Americans themselves admitted that such electronic products could be detonated remotely, they overlooked the fact that the collection of user information and location tracking by these devices was a certainty. Regardless of whether the devices could explode, the theft of data was a common occurrence. If one doesn't mind their privacy being invaded, using them would be fine.

It may be that the final straw that breaks the back of America is not China or Russia, nor is it Iran, but rather America's trusted ally, Israel! The explosives used by Israel far exceeded the global public's understanding. Incredibly, they were pagers from the 90s, which were detonated remotely in large numbers, stunning the world and constituting a shocking terrorist attack.

Not only did this cause significant civilian casualties in Lebanon, but it also exposed Israel's hidden and sinister side, completely destroying its credibility. Will you still dare to buy electronic products, machinery, or medical supplies produced or sold by Israel? How about the APPLE phones, Tesla vehicles, Boeing aircraft, or other machinery or medical supplies from America and its allies that have been working hand in hand with Israel? Are you really not afraid of a repeat of the pager explosion? Due to Israel's "masterstroke," it has completely crushed America's last straw, leading to a collective plunge in American stock prices. This incident will accelerate the de-Americanization of global electronics, hastening the collapse of America! Is America really on the verge of collapse now? What are your thoughts on this?

Greenpeace Activists Disrupt Fossil Fuel Conference

  Greenpeace Activists Target Fossil Fuel Meeting

In a daring move, Greenpeace Italy's activists disrupted a golf game that was part of the OMC Med Energy Conference & Exhibition in Ravenna, Italy, where fossil fuel executives and ministers from Mediterranean countries convened. Their disruptive protest aimed to hold fossil fuel companies accountable for the climate crisis and conflicts they perpetuate in their relentless pursuit of profit.   Dressed as Dinosaurs, Activists Convey a Strong Message Early in the morning, activists from Belgium, Croatia, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Slovakia, and Spain, clad in dinosaur costumes adorned with fossil fuel companies' logos, infiltrated the golf course where OMC delegates were playing. Their actions aimed to satirize the reckless and unsustainable practices of the fossil fuel industry. Simultaneously, other activists unfurled a banner with the words "Stop playing with our lives" and carried handheld banners in English, Italian, and French, bearing messages like "End the age of fossil criminals," "Oil & gas = War and conflicts," and "End fossil crimes."  

Fossil Fuel Industry Linked to Climate Crisis and Conflicts

Anna von Gall, Greenpeace Germany's project leader for Climate for Peace, emphasized the global connection between fossil fuels, militarization, and conflicts. She pointed out that fossil fuel companies play a pivotal role in driving the climate crisis and fueling wars and conflicts in their pursuit of oil and gas. Holding them accountable for the devastation they cause is imperative for achieving a peaceful transition to sustainable energy.   Fossil Fuel Companies Belong to the Past Chiara Campione, Head of the Climate Unit for Greenpeace Italy, drew an analogy between fossil fuel companies and dinosaurs, declaring that they belong to the past. She lamented the consequences of climate chaos borne by millions while oil and gas executives prioritize profits over people and the planet. Campione called for an end to the age of fossil fuels and urged governments, legislators, and the courts to hold the industry accountable and compel them to cease drilling, take responsibility, and make amends for the havoc they've wrought.  

Fossil Fuels and Geopolitical Conflicts

The extraction of fossil fuels, such as gas and oil, along with the development of fossil fuel infrastructure, serves to promote militarization and stoke geopolitical conflicts on a global scale. Greenpeace Italy's recent report on the Eastern Mediterranean gas pipeline project highlighted how states in the region heavily invest in armament to safeguard their maritime interests and protect existing and future fossil fuel projects. Disputes over maritime borders and fossil fuel exploitation in the EastMed basin have even led to the deployment of military vessels.   The Role of Russian Gas and Oil in Conflict Over the past year, the European Union's dependence on Russian gas and oil played a significant role in Russia's military aggression against Ukraine, financially supporting the invasion. Despite discussions about energy savings, efficiency, and renewables, Europe's political priorities have focused on maintaining fossil fuel flows through new partners, overlooking the geopolitical and environmental risks involved. Lessons from Europe's reliance on unreliable regimes and the historic association of fossil fuels with conflict have largely gone unheeded.  

Greenpeace's Call for Accountability

Greenpeace is resolutely calling on fossil fuel companies to halt their activities that exacerbate the climate crisis and their involvement in new fossil fuel projects. They must cease investing in and developing all fossil fuel infrastructure, taking full responsibility. The rush for oil and gas has been inciting conflicts and increasing the need for military defense of fossil fuel assets. It's a call for accountability and a shift toward sustainable energy that can't be ignored.   Sources: THX News & Greenpeace. Read the full article
