You know at first I thought you were going to be just another right wing extremist , but as read on ....I came to realize how intelligent , logical and just straight up truth ... Thanks for bringing more light to my perspective on serious issues . Let's hope there will be something left of the Palestinians in around the Gaza strip when this is done ,because from what I heard today , Israel is about to exterminate what theyve made out to be a pest .
I explain it there. Basically, the US overthrew it in 2014, and what I consider absolute proof of this, and then Ukraine went to civil war, because Eastern Ukraine didn't accept the coup.
Stop thinking in terms of "left" and "right". it's just truth and propaganda.
I knew in 2014 since Nuland's conversation with Geoffrey Pyatt was released. All our "news" media could do with it was talk about how she used a vulgarity. I knew the FSB didn't release it for that reason, so reading it, I saw it was a coup.
It's weird most people don't know, and finally I got sick of explaining it to them, so I just did that write-up.
There's a Russian saying to the effect: "The one who pays, determines the music". Or the more cynical and deliberately grammatically weird: "The one who dines the girl, gets to dance her too".
Excellent article. The only thing not mentioned is that it looks like Georgia too will now have a color revolution! These nefarious actions to drum up war fever have been perpetrated by the US at least since the Lusitania and probably much before that. What’s amazing is to see it unleashed in such a frenzy. It’s like a scorpion stinging it’s own back . Or like a dying desperate empire trying to take down everything with it. “If we can’t have Western civilization, we won’t have any civilization.”
AMERICA AND ISRAEL, THE MARRIAGE MADE IN HEAVEN … yeah, right.
And you thought the Zionists had the best interests of the Jews at heart?
Think again.
America and Israel, irrevocably welded together, their leaders pigging out in the $multibillion trough of bribes, kickbacks, secret commissions, gifts and ‘donations’ provided by the Armaments industry.
And underpinning this unholy coupling, the profoundly antisemitic American Christian Fundamentalists, with their literal interpretation of the Bible, ensuring that the Jews are in Jerusalem thereby fulfilling the requirements for Armageddon and the Second Coming, whereupon the New Messiah, arisen from the conflagration, converts the remaining 144,000 Jews to Christianity, thereby bringing about the Final Solution to the Jewish Question.
“…Meanwhile the US has deployed an aircraft carrier strike group to the eastern Mediterranean in support of the coming Israeli military operations, on top of the additional military aid Biden has already pledged to Netanyahu….”
It’s their new mega -aircraft carrier ship the USS Gerald Ford, plus many support ship.
Cost : tens of billions of dollars in capital costs, and 10s of millions of dollars per day just to operate it.
All this for a SYMBOLIC show, while the Israeli’s use their billions of dollars of U.S. supplied weapons in futile attempts to crush and eradicate the Palestinians on Palestinians land.
Just in case no one understands how much money is sloshed around in needless war.
And a few hypersonic missiles will take out one of these 10 billion dollar aircraft carriers. Hypersonic missile technology the US is not even technically capable of producing currently. The Ukrainian butchery has shown the new warfare meta: missiles and drones. And billion dollar ships and even billion dollar aircraft are like using old calvary in World War I - outdated and ineffective in an actual modern war.
Australian main stream news is an ongoing disgrace. Listening to the ignorant uninformed drivel belies belief. Deeply ashamed of what passes for commentary in this country.
I hope you're including "your ABC" in your definition of 'mainstream'. They are blatantly pushing all sorts of agendas rather than impartially reporting the news.
In my life time, I was hoping that we could be better human beings. I sincerely hope that Chinas leadership is smarter, more mature, while Americans try to deal with its idiots. Britain, Canada, Australia don’t do much better…follow along idiots.
China, Russia, and the Palestinians are not the problem with the world right now. None of these countries maintain 900+ military bases all over the world, and are provoking endless war to fill the coffers of their corporate arms dealers.
Right now Jamenta, I am sick at heart. I know what the Israelis will do now, waiting as they have been for the press to carry on the hour the well covered story this time, of rockets and dramatic events to build up the atmosphere for what happens next.
The bigger the headlines, the better for Israel's planners.
JUSTIFICATION ............for all to see. Go for it, boys.
Let loose all the restrictions on this Lind of truth and add some colour, Biden.
This has always been there objective and now they have the trigger. The build up to motivate Palestine into this current event has been gradual. Not covered by the press......the killing of children increased greatly; houses bulldozed; mosques damaged; crops such as olive plantations cut down and a staggering increase in children now in custody like never seen before, anywhere. It has been a major campaign against children.
Anyone who hasn't been aware of these actions, blame the muzzled media, with journalists who will never ever regain my respect for their dirty deeds.
According to Scott Ritter (in an interview on MOATS today) - this may backfire terribly for Israel. He believes the Israeli army is not what it once was. Ritter is rarely wrong when it comes to analyzing current military events - he's been spot on now for over a year with the Ukrainian slaughter fest. If the violence escalates with Hezbollah getting seriously involved - he thinks it could lead to disastrous consequences for Israel.
Collective punishment *is* a war crime. And killing more Palestinians isn't going to fix the underlying problem - which is a moral one. A very simple to understand moral one: human oppression.
Never seen you post here before bk94301. But few things I find "uglier" than what Israel has done to the Palestinians over the last few decades, with the full support of the US and Brits.
I think everyone can agree a lot of the world currently is living through a nightmare. It's too bad that some people here can't even discuss something.
I find the whole narrative as reported by the media a little hard to accept. Perhaps it's all true, but I haven't seen the evidence yet. Hamas wants to appear strong, always has done: it won't deny exaggerated claims of damage to Israel. It is being said that Israel had become complacent - but not so complacent as to allow Palestinians the right to come and go, and have free access to power and water. Doesn't smell right. I believe there is a good case that damage to Israel is highly exaggerated - the reports are contradictory - for the justification of really "mowing" Gaza this time. Netanyahu was practically salivating when he virtually promised, "We will destroy them and take mighty vengeance": "Fee fie fo fum, I smell the blood of Palestinians". You can't walk back from such a posture.
Sickening to see this, and yet it's only the start of the body bag count. These people went to a festival and most of them ended up dead. They were unarmed civilians. But Israelis have been killing unarmed civilians now for decades, and so the Hamas felt justified to do the same. So the violence is a never ending cycle of murder -
The French said the same thing about the Viet-Minh and the Algerians. The Americans said the same thing about the Viet Cong and Sandanistas. The British said the same thing about the Kenyans.
LOL! Now you're pretending not to know basic history. Please don't insult my intelligence by pretending you're ignorant when ignorance suits your narrative.
Which is what you guys always do when backed into a corner. You never could handle historical materialists and you still can't. I'll take the win. Have a nice day.
This guy even managed to piss off Caitlin - who had a not so nice response to one of his comments. He obviously pissed me off enough yesterday where I let fly quite a few invectives. Sigh. It's a troll trolling. The rule to follow is: Don't Feed the Trolls.
Once I identify a troll - I may give them maybe a single sentence response but never follow up beyond that.
I wouldn't worry about the outbursts - just shows you're human. And that fuckhead certainly deserved that and a boatload more. Btw, its style suggests a Russian/Ukrainian speaking Jew, either based in Israel or having bolted from it as soon as it could - as a lot of them tend to do, the lovers of Israel that they claim to be. The pretense of belonging to an "intelligencia" smells so thick in the attitude.
As to the @Jeano character. Judging by the inconsistency of its posts it could very well be a troll. It could also be what it claims - a 79yr old wench, sadly experiencing a mental decline as lots of current US rulers readily exhibit. If the latter - deserves regret and compassion, if former then a cunt she is indeed (judging by the name). But in both cases it deserves to be ignored.
"Later when all the facts are in people slowly start to realize that something went very wrong, and that they were deceived."
The facts are in--but the propagandists are working to block them from getting to the public. So keep repeating the facts and sharing the facts and pushing against the propagandists' narrative until everyone realizes they've been deceived. The future of the planet depends upon it!
I am convinced, more than ever, that the warmonger class and their sycophants, in the media and God knows elsewhere, were traumatized and bullied as young children and are now extracting their revenge on the rest of the world. They are all insane.
No, the exact opposite is true. The warmonger class grew up in a bubble where sociopathic behavior is necessary to stay in it. They've been coddled and kowtowed to all their lives, and have no CLUE what it is like to have to struggle to put food on the table.
Their own working classes aren't people to them, just commodities. The Palestinians aren't even that.
The point about Israeli/Western intelligence dropping their 5 and 6th eyeball is the simplest explanation for the Hamas cross-borer raid writ large. Hezbollah does not appear to have been in on the Hamas attack, but, once you've got 100,000 Israeli "reservists" committing usual atrocities and getting blown up in the process in Gaza--who knows? This is going to be a no-win for Israel, just a whole lot of pointless destruction. Project De-stabilizing the Middle East all over again.
Will Hezbollah put up with the mass murder of collective punishment? We'll soon see. The US is certainly all in for the next few days of Gaza butchery along with the Brits.
Thank you Caitlin, I am now sitting waiting for the horror that is about to be inflicted on the Palestinians with every western power agreeing with Israel, just because they had the courage to stand up and say we can't take any more. Anyone that thinks it is right that a whole nation should be subjected to living behind barbed wire, with little access even to water for generations is inhumane and indeed wicked. What is happening is genocide and the US and UK know this.
If all these Western countries see this and think its right for Israel, one can only conclude that they think it would be right for them too. We're next.
You know at first I thought you were going to be just another right wing extremist , but as read on ....I came to realize how intelligent , logical and just straight up truth ...

It's 2023 now and those who wanted to know knew it back then. Though it's better late than never. Congrats on your having arrived!

"Israel is about to exterminate what theyve made out to be a pest."
Could it even be a 'Final Solution' for the troublesome cattle people?
Right wing? Caitlin Johnstone would have been accurately described as a radical leftist before the left-right labels became utterly meaningless.
Shes Human
But they are now pretty much meaningless, so not much use in mentioning them.
The Press is the singer. The plutocrats write the songs.
There's a Russian saying to the effect: "The one who pays, determines the music". Or the more cynical and deliberately grammatically weird: "The one who dines the girl, gets to dance her too".

And if that ain’t ironic, tell me what is?
“…Meanwhile the US has deployed an aircraft carrier strike group to the eastern Mediterranean in support of the coming Israeli military operations, on top of the additional military aid Biden has already pledged to Netanyahu….”
It’s their new mega -aircraft carrier ship the USS Gerald Ford, plus many support ship.

Just in case no one understands how much money is sloshed around in needless war.
It’s insane.
If all countries are broke or banks going down where does the money come from.
The are writing IOUs that need to be paid by current workers and future generations of workers, as well as by rapinig and pillaging nature.
That’s where the money comes from : nature and the labour of real workers.
And a few hypersonic missiles will take out one of these 10 billion dollar aircraft carriers. Hypersonic missile technology the US is not even technically capable of producing currently. The Ukrainian butchery has shown the new warfare meta: missiles and drones.

So awful and sad. There are literally no words to convey this. It will go on and on and on. Innocent lives ended. Such Sickness
You mean its the old, us versus them dialectic? You're either with us or against us? That kind of 2 year old reasoning?
Yeah - what 2 year olds think. What are you, some kind of military plant to justify more war?
The them v them, needs to be dismissed. How else will this stop?
Do they? Are they planning to? Is the current situation ideal then? What would be the ideal one?
Translation: what the fuck are you talking about?
Are you not of age yet? What the fuck are you doing here then?
See, I can use full sentences. As to profanity - deal with it. And address the substance, do not deflect.
I think everyone can agree a lot of the world currently is living through a nightmare. It's too bad that some people here can't even discuss something.
China’s leadership is definitely smarter. I think you’re asking a different question.

No - they're right - you're just a troll. No more of you.

Same old imperial song & dance.

Very well said.
WEF, WHO.....these are the villains. US Media are the lapdogs
Ya, like Goebbels was a lapdog.
Everything is interconnected -- nothing exists in a vacuum.
And here seems to be one common thread to almost all of it... even though there is no evidence (yet) that this is the case:
Does the CIA have their hands in this?
I wouldn't be surprised in the least for all kinds of reasons.
Like 9/11, people are getting just a little bit too uppity. Time for a security state equalizer.
If so, you heard it here first.
This was absolutely at least allowed to happen if not outright planned by western intel.
Just like 9/11, Pear Harbor, Gulf of Tonkin - same playbook every time.
Before Covid - I woulda fallen for it. Not I just shake my head
Like 9/11, sure looked like the honeypot again - no IDF to be seen while the attack happened.
Bet it's tied to the flagging support for more Ukraine money. Watch how it's used by the media and government to silence the populist movement.
The CIA has been everywhere and in everything. It's been proven. To think it is not now is beyond naive.
I wouldn't put it past the CIA. After all, who killed the Kennedy's?
Keeping people down has never worked and when religion enters we have wars.
