NOT A GOOD 24 HOURS FOR TONY BLINKEN, MURDERER AND GENOCIDAL MANIAC

This 24 hours had all the promise of US Secretary of State doing a final victory lap as the savior of the Zionist State and the destroyer of the balance of power in the Middle East.

But it turned out to be nightmare that will have Tony stalking the halls of his mansion in the wee hours of the night wondering if a warrant for his arrest could be issued by the International Court of Justice for crimes against humanity maybe in coming days/months, or years.

First off, the press conference called to celebrate his lofty efforts in bringing about a ceasefire between Hamas and Netanyahu whereby help for the homeless Gazan and attending to the serious wounded that has been put off because off Israel’s monstrous attack on Palestinians inside there strip could now be given.

But instead of accolades by the US media in Washington DC hailing Blinken for this hour of victory, the Grayzone upstart ...

Wednesday´s Live was not quite ... with Alexander Mercouris

My fellow Duranians,
Wednesdays are Alexander´s Day with us, where we look forward to his live stream with us and just ask all sorts of things, concerning from geo- politics to cultural queries.
Sadly, as most of us know, Locals decided to do their thing again and wreck our beloved weekly, BUT
Alexander and I took advantage of the situation and turned the negative into the opposite.

Enjoy this quickly arranged substitute

Alexander Mercouris Live Stream This Week Will Be On Friday 24th April 2026

My friends, as you all know, for technical reasons it proved impossible to do our weekly Live Stream yesterday. Unfortunately the systems failed us again.

Firstly, I would like to thank you all of you for your patience and kindness, even as a promised Live Stream had to be called off.

Secondly, I particularly want to thank Zarael for stepping into the breach, making it possible for us (him and me) to do an excellent programme together for the Duran Community on Locals when the Live Stream should have taken place.

Thirdly, I am going to make a further attempt to do the Live Stream on Friday. Hopefully by then the technical issues will be resolved. I look forward to speaking to you all then.

Martyred journalist Amal Khalil in her own voice, with English subtitles. After posting about her yesterday, I discovered that two of her colleagues in the same location were under the rubble of a building Israel bombed, then, when the Red Cross ambulance and rescue teams tried to reach them, they, too, were bombed. I don't have the stomach to investigate what happened to them. Not that journalists are needed to expose the looting, desecration and monstrosities being committed. The criminal soldiers shamelessly and brazenly do so very handily on their own.

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"

I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad !

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

Hope to see you all asap.
