Hey AI I support the people of Gaza and their resistance against the evil of genocidal Zionist hate from the Jewish Apartheid State, which means I support all resistance including Hamas. Put that in your AI and go fuck yourselves
My sentiments exactly! I SUPPORT HAMAS. I SUPPORT HEZBOLLAH. I SUPPORT ANSARALLAH. (Who seem to be readying themselves to shut down Red Sea traffic again!)
I was born and raised in Flint , Michigan and have lived in a rural area between Flint and Lansing for forty-plus years. What’s Trump gonna do, deport me back to Flint?
If the Men in the Dark Suits come a-knockin’ on my door, they’re gonna be in for a big surprise, known as the barrels of several semiautomatics 😉
it is indeed necessary now that born and bred americans take the lead in organising the protests. there should be dozens of 'pure' americans volunteering to take over the role of the palestinian who's about to be deported.
I wonder how many are aware that there used to be an American Committee for Protection of Foreign Born? It was in existence from the 1930s to 1980, and was active nationwide. It is in need of reviving, now.
Thank you for this information Joy. I’m going to look in on this. We are in the Halls everyday here in DC cajoling our Representatives to do the right things. I will see if anyone is interested (hello D’s!) in returning to this. Peace
Today in Congress a protest is bet organized around a student leader of the Columbia University encampment who has been abducted by Empire managers and has gone missing (even his lawyer can’t find him). He was picked up without warrant or cause and is a Green Card holder with Permanent Resident status while they attempt to deport him, again without cause or due process. We are CodePink and we will always support our brothers and sisters that are being outlawed by the Empire.
Once I surrounded DiFi's car & stopped her with Code Pink (Tighe Medea & Anne Wright). The post Office flag was put up, upside down that day! A friend told me there are as many Israel flags as USA flags in the halls of Congress. Surround Aipac. I have been to jail hanging out with the wrong types in DC! Free Palestine. Cancel Israel. Help wanted.
And they were telling you the truth about the symbols of Zionist hate throughout these Halls. They have sworn allegiance to a foreign entity that is not in our interests
That was so much fun and we felt safe in those days. But today we are beaten, threatened, harassed and jailed without cause by DC police, Cap Police and the other myriad of 20+ police agencies marauding the streets like gangs with impunity. Miss you brother
If some cop laid hands on me, I’d scream at the top of my lungs GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY TITS! YOU’RE SEXUALLY ASSAULTING ME!
THEN I’d sue, and you’d be my witness 😁
But complications arise. Hubby is recovering from pneumonia and his rheumatoid arthritis is raging. We live on a farm and the work here is endless; looks like it’s all on me for a while.
Suggest you try again in plain intelligible English and add a little humility and respect. Your mystical missive and dark warning need polishing - or a total rewrite with oodles more clarity, substance and sense..
You are totally dedicated my dear friend. I’m a Detroiter but had to leave because of failed policies by a government that never really supported us, the worker. What can they do? Is right.
People on SlashDot used to ruminate about whether their comments would get them on a list for opposing Operation Iraqi Liberation (OIL, about the most transparent acronym I've ever seen). I always figured if I weren't on the FBI's list long before then that I was doing something wrong.
When I was at the Denver airport last summer I received what I considered quite an invasive Pat-down. They asked if I wanted to go into a room; I replied, VERY loudly, No, do it right here, so everyone can see you groping a seventy year old grandmother!
I think it's a forgone conclusion that we have been on watch lists for decades given how we think independently. You in the US. me in Canada and Caitlin in Australia are all guilty of independent thought which appears to be the latest crime according to these Neo Fascists.
Yeppers! Here and there, Canada, the big ‘Down Under, the US — there are those who know what should be the operating premise of their activities and do it anyway! Well done, everybody.
Anyone retaining a store of their own wisdom and who refuses to fall down before the great, lordly kakistocracy [look it up, people] is at the very least a ‘person of interest.’
We are supposed to be nice, quiet, manageable, doting, respectful little taxpayers who live second-hand lives tailored to fit the career interests of regime bureaucrats.
As long as you don't organize they don't care. As soon as you do they infiltrate and you are taken care of. That's the reality of the so called "free West".
This is exactly how the green movement took over our hunting clubs almost 50 years ago in Canada. They bought memberships until they had a majority and then kicked us out of our own organizations. This is a tried and true formula for Marxists. In retrospect I think it was a test for bigger and more insidious things and was used as an experiment to model bigger take overs.
Same. They can fucking bring it. Israel is THE malignant cyst of the world and needs to be leveled. This is MY country, not the country of a bunch of eurotrash colonialists cosplaying as a religion.
"Among the most disturbing political phenomena of our times is the emergence in the newly created state of Israel of the "Freedom Party", a political party closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties".
--1948 letter by Einstein, Hannah Arendt and other Jews in the US to the NY Times, which was published then largely ignored except later by JFK, who Mossad then helped to murder.
Why should we expect any other outcome but censorship?
Its unreal how the MAGA cultists fight me whenever I bring up Israel or Trump and what he's doing, they call me every filthy name they can find, I actually laugh because it just shows me how dumb they really are. They're fine with Trump deporting people for fake antisemitism, the loss of free speech hasn't hit them yet but it will. So much has changed with Trump, he's ok with murdering 2 million people in Gaza because Miriam Adelson told him to. I add the Palestinian people to my prayers in hopes they'll be saved. We live in demonic times and its horrifying.
I read a quote the other day and have used it a lot in the past week. Strangely, it appears to stop those, spouting about the duty of others to go to war, in their tracks. It went something like this…
“There is nothing more dangerous than a warmongering civilian 500 miles from the battlefield”!
<The most horrifying thing about all the footage of HTS thugs massacring people in Syria is not the violence itself, it’s how happy its perpetrators are in the videos.>
Equally horrifying is the slow and almost reluctant reaction of our politicians and media in the West. Apparently, they don't like to condemn their anti-Assad friends, now in charge in Syria.
What Ukraine does is not quite the same as what Israel does though. Israeli people have been brainwashed their entire lives to think Zionism is a good thing and will save them. The Ukrainian people have not been brainwashed in that same way. They have been mostly forced into a war that they don't really want, I don't think. In Ukraine it is the US and Ukrainian leaders that are the poison. In Israel, sadly, it is the entire country save for some refusniks and a very few others who protest what their government is doing. There are Jews around the world who protest what the State of Israel does, but not so many in Israel itself.
Which is a commentary on the brainwashed inability -- or unwillingness -- to disconnect Soviet Union from Russia. Which then boils down to that endless inculcation: "hate the Commies, Communism sucks", etc. etc. Talk about a mantra that gets drilled into North Americans of my generation from early childhood.
Communism is not anything to hate. When I visited Cuba, the main issue was the poverty which has been imposed by US sanctions. I was also brainwashed as a child to think that communism was evil and bad. Too bad we weren't taught that capitalism or any state loses when it is not for the people it is trying to govern. We need to figure out a way that the people can govern themselves and voting just does not get us there. Communism doesn't either; I think the main reason we were supposed to hate it is because it was competing with capitalism, or so many thought.
You're probably right; the Capitalists were terrified of any competition that would threaten the status quo, i.e., the class structure supporting their status. Ah yes, the eternal problem of self-government without (or with minimal) corruption. If political "science" is actually a useful discipline, where are the solutions?
Marco Rubio declares, ".... restrictions on visas for both government officials in Cuba and any others worldwide who are “complicit” with the island nation’s overseas medical-assistance programs. A US State Department statement clarified that the sanction extends to “current and former” officials and the “immediate family of such persons.”
This action, the seventh measure targeting Cuba in one month, has international consequences; for decades tens of thousands of Cuban medical professionals have been posted in around sixty countries, far more than the World Health Organization’s (WHO) workforce, mostly working in under- or unserved populations in the Global South. By threatening to withhold visas from foreign officials, the US government means to sabotage these Cuban medical missions overseas. If it works, millions will suffer".
Soviet Union or communism was just another cover to use in a fight against Russia per se. It was happening before 1917 and it is now post 1991. It's Russia that they want. A casual look at the map explains all.
Sure, that's what history tells us. But try telling that to my generation of dunderheads. Good luck. (Especially early) Boomers believe the Red scare shite reflexively and connect the entire shiteshow to Russia. I only speak about this population from experience.
that's the other tragedy: those hundreds of thousands ukrainian widows and half orphans won't end up hating those 50-something americans who 'midwifed' this thing, they'll end up hating other slavs. having a father, husband, son or other family-member killed by some other distinct group, accounts for some pretty thorough brainwashing, i guess. empire has already scored those points.
You are downplaying the degree to which a huge constituency in Ukraine has consented to this mess. They are and have long been statistically the most corrupt country in Europe and the poorest, so the people in that place were a mess. They are also heavily addicted on social media where their minds have been rotted out.
Its not ever single person, but still its far too many of them to downplay the degree to which hatred has currency there and to which outright nazism and mafia levels of behavour, are all totally acceptable in that country.
A huge number of people in any country have fallen prey to the propaganda they are fed. There is hate and addiction to social media everywhere. The US has a mafia wannabe heading it up right now. I am not sure exactly what you are trying to defend, but it does not make much sense to me.
I am not so sure that nobody cared about politics in the USA. I think that most of the world has regarded the US as the place to emulate. Zionists went to the USA in part because they had not done very well in Europe and in part because the US wanted control in the middle east. Also because there are quite a few Christians in the US who think that once the Israelis go back to their "promised land" the Apocalypse/Armageddon will happen and they will "rise naked to the right hand side of God".
This fascist regime in the US already attempted a coup 4 years ago. It’s not about zionism or Ukraine - they are actually three continuous data points in a wave of fascism.
Ukrainians may want a 'negotiated settlement' but they ain't going to get one. Trump is merely pretending to want peace while all the while sabotaging it. Please don't think it's Trump's way or EU liberal's way. They are both the same way-into the meat grinder.
The way is unconditional surrender. The Ukrainians shouldn't be fooled that Trump, nor any of his replacement puppet presidents, will in anyway lessen the outcome or hasten an end to the conflict. Don't wait any longer.
Feral, we Murkins have been raised to hate the Soviet Union/ Russia and to love “plucky little Israel”.
I was brought up on “Better Dead Then Red” (I often wondered why) and most were ignorant of the fact that “Israel” was founded by the genocide and expulsion of the indigenous people.
Stupid, stupid fucking Amerikkkans (all present company excluded of course.)
"If you want this horrific war to continue and yet you are not on front lines serving" and even if you are on the front lines serving, maybe you need to think a bit more about what a war means for the world, especially these days when nuclear can be used.
The defense of democratic rights requires a political and industrial mobilization of the working class against both capitalist political parties and the capitalist system they defend.
As for the ‘conscientious objectors,’ one may be forgiven for making the observation that it is easy to be heroic with other peoples’ lives.
I suggest mobilizing Herr Starmer to Eastern Ukraine. Throw him a rifle. Let him show us how it is done!
The same thing happens when we mourn the death of a relative or friend of a ninety-year-old while we pretend nothing is happening about the death every day of hunger and/or curable diseases of over twenty thousand children under the age of five.
It's called Fascism. The Western world is now being taken over by the biggest threat to human freedom and dignity in existence. Like Germany in the '30s most people are falling in line without resistance. Read your history and learn it before you repeat it.
there's this quote 'when fascism comes to america, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross'. in true usa fashion, it seems they have to overdo it by adding 'and a star of david' (just to make sure no one becomes suspicious).
Interesting you mention the repression that was unleashed by the bush administration like the patriot act & continuity of government since I see a lot of his people are democrats on msnbc, the lincoln project, or other bs media. There has been many attempts to rehabilitate him saying he really wasn't that bad and that they wish they had republicans like him back. Do any americans of minimum intelligence, a very small group i admit, actually believe Israel didn't attack the usa on 11-9?
Actually, I believe that it was an inside job by the Bush administration to create a false flag so that they could increase the attack on the Middle East.
Watch the documentary Architects and Engineers Talk About 9/11. I think that it is still on YouTube.
Hey AI I support the people of Gaza and their resistance against the evil of genocidal Zionist hate from the Jewish Apartheid State, which means I support all resistance including Hamas. Put that in your AI and go fuck yourselves
Israel is a Terrorist State that needs to be canceled. Keep on Tighe !
You GO, Brother!

Un-fucking- believable! 🤬
Dammit Tighe, I almost wish I lived in or near DC: I’d be raising hell everyday. (I Actually, I’d probably be in jail.)
Right now I’m reduced to standing outside the local offices of my state’s US Senators holding signs that say so-and-so Supports Genocide.
Once I surrounded DiFi's car & stopped her with Code Pink (Tighe Medea & Anne Wright). The post Office flag was put up, upside down that day!

Hi Chuck
I’ve had a couple of PPOs on me 😉 but haven’t experienced jail yet… it’d be a new experience for me!
Actually, jail sounds pretty relaxing compared to my daily life.
And kudos to you for your actions 👏👏👏
You sound amazing. Thank you for being on our side in this existential fight for justice and human dignity. I salute you.
You would be most welcome. We are in those dreadful Halls everyday. Your support is vital to us being safe there. Peace and Love Always
Hi Tighe. If only!
If some cop laid hands on me, I’d scream at the top of my lungs GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY TITS! YOU’RE SEXUALLY ASSAULTING ME!
THEN I’d sue, and you’d be my witness 😁
But complications arise. Hubby is recovering from pneumonia and his rheumatoid arthritis is raging. We live on a farm and the work here is endless; looks like it’s all on me for a while.
Did I mention that I’m seventy going on thirty? 😉
you are in for a huge disappointment submissive european. your virus has proved a lot stronger.
Suggest you try again in plain intelligible English and add a little humility and respect. Your mystical missive and dark warning need polishing - or a total rewrite with oodles more clarity, substance and sense..
here goes snot off some limey schnoz. keep it to yourself on those shiny cultured isles of yours will ya.
I usually respect you more than I can here. What happened to you that you can be so egregiously commonplace?
well, it says 'should', like a moral obligation. :-) the west (us & europe) and morality probably don't mix too well.
You are a bot for sure. Dumbest statement I’ve seen in awhile
You and Paul GOVAN should get together. The level of your comprehension matches. No more match.com disappointments. Enjoy.
Or, maybe deconstruct your missive - what did you perceive and why did it trigger you? The GOVAN guy ducked and never surfaced.
I doubt that those scumbags want to dance with you, gypsy; I hope they know better.
Vin, thanks my dear!
But part of me almost looks forward to it 😉
which part?
The part with a death wish, of course.
In whose name are those registered?
Blowback is a beach? Hypersonic? Got to go, someones at the door.If I delete this they still have a copy ! Copy this, Free Palestine.
You are totally dedicated my dear friend. I’m a Detroiter but had to leave because of failed policies by a government that never really supported us, the worker. What can they do? Is right.
A Detroiter and and Flintstone… WE ARE BADASS, Tighe!
I cannot say, " I SUPPORT H-A-M-A-S," or "YOU SHOULD SUPPORT H-A-M-A-S," without being arrested and charged " in the UK!!!
Yeah. Been making comments that would be captured by AI for awhile now. What will happen will happen.
People on SlashDot used to ruminate about whether their comments would get them on a list for opposing Operation Iraqi Liberation (OIL, about the most transparent acronym I've ever seen). I always figured if I weren't on the FBI's list long before then that I was doing something wrong.
Hi Brian
When I was at the Denver airport last summer I received what I considered quite an invasive Pat-down. They asked if I wanted to go into a room; I replied, VERY loudly, No, do it right here, so everyone can see you groping a seventy year old grandmother!
It got quite a bit of attention.
Yay!
I think I’m in love with you❤️☮️🇵🇸🥰
Get in line. A woman of gypsy's formidable fortitude has got a ton of admirers. With good reason.
Aw shucks, y’all! 😊

I grew up with a self styled Communist for a father. I know how they work and you are not my friend!
I've always thought that I was put on the FBI's list in 1968. I guess now they can add a new entry.

What Israel and Ukraine do exposes so much about the west. And all of it is ugly.

there are also a lot of Canadians and Americans who have been brainwashed into hating Russians.

Much of the problem with the establishment narrative is that it conflates "capitalism" with "democracy," and that's what we were brought up believing.
Susan T, Did you see this on Jacobin?
Cuba sends doctors, the US sends sanctions.
Marco Rubio declares, ".... restrictions on visas for both government officials in Cuba and any others worldwide who are “complicit” with the island nation’s overseas medical-assistance programs. A US State Department statement clarified that the sanction extends to “current and former” officials and the “immediate family of such persons.”

Soviet Union or communism was just another cover to use in a fight against Russia per se. It was happening before 1917 and it is now post 1991. It's Russia that they want. A casual look at the map explains all.
did they own russia from 1917 to 1991?
....and IF there is a peace treaty (which I seriously doubt) China will become the next nasty nation!
Sure, that's what history tells us. But try telling that to my generation of dunderheads. Good luck. (Especially early) Boomers believe the Red scare shite reflexively and connect the entire shiteshow to Russia. I only speak about this population from experience.
I have to admit even though I was schooled in Sri Lanka and Britain I was never 'brainwashed' against Russia.
And a large number of Europeans, too! We live in a very sick world!
Yes. And the sickness of the world is very profitable for some.
No kidding!
I've also seen numerous reports about the strength of the Banderites and nazis in Ukraine. Pretty disturbing.
that's the other tragedy: those hundreds of thousands ukrainian widows and half orphans won't end up hating those 50-something americans who 'midwifed' this thing, they'll end up hating other slavs. having a father, husband, son or other family-member killed by some other distinct group, accounts for some pretty thorough brainwashing, i guess. empire has already scored those points.

THAT is how they got in this mess.
A huge number of people in any country have fallen prey to the propaganda they are fed. There is hate and addiction to social media everywhere. The US has a mafia wannabe heading it up right now. I am not sure exactly what you are trying to defend, but it does not make much sense to me.
Yes, but when you say, "It happens everywhere," you minimize the point of view of the speaker.
I don't see how you could miss what he was saying, that there are - or were - many people who supported the Zelensky government.
Where did all the Nazis go?
They are alive and well spread out around the world. Lots of them.
Many in Ukraine.
Susan. They are in every Western Nation but because of education in the USA when NOBODY cared about politics, the Zionists moved in.
I am not so sure that nobody cared about politics in the USA. I think that most of the world has regarded the US as the place to emulate. Zionists went to the USA in part because they had not done very well in Europe and in part because the US wanted control in the middle east.

I have lost some of my previous admiration for Monbiot, but this article of his from 2004 is a good one and talks about that very subject.

Somehow you don't mention Russia.
russian_bot, I think Putin and Russia has to be very wary and sceptical of " Greeks bearing gifts".
Which in turn raises the question of why some people (Ukraine, Israel) get special rules, and others (Russians, Arabs) get other special rules?
Feral, we Murkins have been raised to hate the Soviet Union/ Russia and to love “plucky little Israel”.
I was brought up on “Better Dead Then Red” (I often wondered why) and most were ignorant of the fact that “Israel” was founded by the genocide and expulsion of the indigenous people.
Stupid, stupid fucking Amerikkkans (all present company excluded of course.)
My dear friend IF being friends with Russia happens (which I seriously doubt) the next country on the US playlist will be China.
I think Americans still think the own the world.
Thank You Caitlin
"If you want this horrific war to continue and yet you are not on front lines serving" and even if you are on the front lines serving, maybe you need to think a bit more about what a war means for the world, especially these days when nuclear can be used.
I agree with you Susan. Many people seem to have lost their moral reasoning. IT is NOT OK to kill people or torture or use violence.
Free Palestine. Free speech. I am not scared of the orange monster.
The defense of democratic rights requires a political and industrial mobilization of the working class against both capitalist political parties and the capitalist system they defend.

It's called Fascism. The Western world is now being taken over by the biggest threat to human freedom and dignity in existence. Like Germany in the '30s most people are falling in line without resistance. Read your history and learn it before you repeat it.
there's this quote 'when fascism comes to america, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross'. in true usa fashion, it seems they have to overdo it by adding 'and a star of david' (just to make sure no one becomes suspicious).

Interesting you mention the repression that was unleashed by the bush administration like the patriot act & continuity of government since I see a lot of his people are democrats on msnbc, the lincoln project, or other bs media.
