American politics really can’t be more disgusting for reasons you’ve stated. I really apologize that Americans lack a conscience, are so utterly ignorant, are so supportive of violence as a means of settling differences. Well, we are seeing quite an up swing of violence in our own communities as a result. Neighbor against neighbor. Israel is utterly evil! And so are those who support Israel.
My theory: it's not a matter of "settling differences"...anywhere, anytime. It's ALL about "you have what I want, and I'm taking it from you." No matter what it takes. Genocide. Slavery. Etc.
I agree. American popular culture is inherently violent.
I don't really do pop culture, but got trapped into watching "The Matrix" once.
At one point, the main character said, "Guns. What we need now are lots of guns." And suddenly, racks and racks of weapons materialized!"
In Canada, it might have been, "Donuts. What we need now are lots of donuts." And suddenly racks and racks of donuts appear, which they feed to The Bad Guys™ until they all die of heart attacks!
Canada is a little less violent currently, but that’s because it doesn’t need to be right now for settler colonialism to happen. The US and Canada are both founded on genocide.
In the US, when some oil company wants to put a pipe under sacred waters, it's "But that was so long ago. Can't you just get over it?" Then they come in with the flak-jacketed troops and guns and cram the pipeline up the natives' åss.
Whereas in Canada, when they want to put a pipeline under sacred waters, it's "Oh, we're so sorry. We've ratified the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People, and we really hope to abide by it soon, right after we clear you off with flak-jacketed troops and guns and cram this pipeline up your åss."
I’ve seen polls for months showing that Americans support a ceasefire by large percentages. This has no effect on the political leadership. Tells you what kind of democracy we actually have in the Land of the Free (TM).
They never listen nor do they ask what we think. I mean, why would they when it's easier to just ignore us. I expect at some point they're all gonna get a rude awakening.
" I expect at some point they're all gonna get a rude awakening." If the words of 'The Russians' are real when threatening nuclear holocaust, "rude awakenings" may indeed be on the menu.
Americans trust their sources of misinformation more than they lack consciousnesses.
Arresting all domestic representatives of AIPAC and the members of Congress that take bribes from them would go a long way towards solving Americans' addictions to Zionism.
America's always been a violent and sadistic culture. They never changed their settler colonial mindset since their massacre of native americans - once a beast is always a beast.
Biden pretends to be angry with Netanyahu, but he still supports him. The truth is the U.S. is a direct participant in this war, because Israel is the U.S.’ air craft carrier in the Middle East. Meaning, a direct connection to the American military .
I can't help but think there is a much more sinister thing that is going on with the US political leaders and their relationship with Israel. Some say they are bought off, but to me, money can't be the only thing that Israel has on the political leaders of the US. There are some ugly, bloody, unscrupulous, snuff movies, trafficking blackmail that is twisting the arms of political leaders worldwide. Israel has the handle of fear over these folks but that handle is teaming with slime and outrageous character and reputational undermining that these folks can't afford to have exposed. The fact that Israel can blatantly shove its foot up the arses of the leaders of the world without even the slightest hesitancy shows an arrogance that is based in a certain reality that probably took decades to develop. Whatever the case may be, they know that know one, especially the US, will be "ABLE" to stop them.
Do they call it "deep throat"? These folks are more than compromised. They are so guilty that the skeletons in their closet are rattling and about to bust out. Can't have that, so they'll continue to appease the aviator of mass destruction.
Ironically, the US taxpayer is paying for the munitions that are given to Israel who in turns sells them to other nations, even Russia. I mean how corrupt can this thing get?
I think it was Gorbachev in his memoir who said that he was told three months in advance that the Republicans were going to plant a woman to compromise Clinton. It sure derailed anything he wanted to do for the rest of the term. And she had that helper from the Pentagon with the equipment for illegally recording conversations. Nothing to see here!
Because YOU/Someone cannot see a reason as to why "an intern with a bachelor’s degree became s member of senior staff in very very short order" then that MUST mean YOUR theory is TRUE?
That's the logic of conspiracy theorists. Here's how it goes:
(1) A = low probability event
(2) B = probable conspiratorial explanation/hypotheis attempting to explain A
(3) C to Z = other hypothesis (with different probabilities) that explain event A
So, a conspiracy theorist would jump to the following conclusion:
"If A, then B" instead of "if A then anything from B to Z based on probability calculations and real-world scenarios".
i.e. conspiracy theorists find it difficult to find explanations for A (low probability events like 9/11, Oct.7, etc.) that lie in the range of "C to Z" as possible answers (even though answers in this range have higher probabilities than answer B which is full of conjectures).
Once in a rare while, answer B will land up being true over answers C-Z (as in CointelPro, MKUltra, etc.). But exceptions to the rule doesn't make the exceptions THE rule.
Randomness and coincidences have a funny way of wrecking havoc in the logic of people, and humans are intellectually ill-equiped (for evolutionary reasons) to deal with randomness concepts (and everything it entails).
“Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.”
Sounds like the corruption goes back decades upon decades if Woodrow Wilson said that. Like any unhealed festering sore, it only gets worse with time. WW would probably roll over in his grave if he knew what was going on now. Ha, maybe he does, someone should ask him.
"Some say they are bought off, but to me, money can't be the only thing that Israel has on the political leaders of the US"... Although MONEY is indeed the number One priority for everyone, pro-semitism has to be a close second.
It’s just money and empire. Israel has bred a society of psychopaths over the past few generations and it’s just what the US war machine was wanting. People growing up with intense propaganda towards Muslims and that they are the superior race has created a supremely evil entity that is deranged and blood hungry. We have the same propaganda in the US, but to a lesser degree, maybe. Israel is a like Frankenstein’s monster and the US is Frankenstein. Biden and his cabinet want this to be happening. It pleases the weapons manufacturers, and every other evil entity that profits off death.
Nope - both are scorpions (and worse). The US does not get a free pass on this - I would say that it (the US) is MORE at fault for this Genocide than even Israel - because without the US, Israel is unlikely to have survived for so long (IMHO).
Also, SatanYahu is a creature created by "America".
That's where YOU (and many others) have been gaslighted. Understand Middle-East history. Understand geopolitics. Read some of Caitlin's articles on this subject.
Just as Israeli Zionists are brainwashed/gaslighted about Israel, unfortunately many Americans are similarly brainwashed/gaslighted about WHO/WHAT America really is (and always has been).
that's right chokaski show jeck how he (along with many others) is "gaslighted" and confused. good one as usual from chokaski. never lets the forum down.
I don't seek the downfall of the "American people". I seek the downfall of the systems that enable the 1% to oppress and suppress the 99% globally - and currently the U.S. is at the top of that hierarchy of systems that is destroying the world AND the planet. If you still haven't realized this, then you have been brainwashed/gaslighted since birth (as have many others).
Again, the same analogy as Israeli brainwashing/narratives applies to you/most Americans.
Far be it for me to be able to wake you up from your perceptions/narratives/etc. That's what Caitlin's articles are for!
Also listen/read some of Noam Chomsky, Michael Parenti, Chris Hedges, John Pilger, Vijay Prashad, Michael Hudson to understand some of this "brainwashing" better.
They want you to think that. Why would they all of a sudden tell the truth about something that would expose them as what they are? As Biden has repeatedly said, “ if there wasn’t an Israel, we would have to create an Israel”. He’s said this over many decades.
Amen, Caitlin! It always amazes me that so many humans only listen to the words, and don't pay attention at all to the speaker's deeds. Like I learned from the mother of my best friend, "It isn't true that you can't trust people. You can always trust people to do what they've always done."
Israel & the West are looking to steal natural gas resources off the coast of Lebanon & Israel. Those natural gas resources are the largest deposits in the world.
That may weel be true, but it is not dispositive of the situation, given that these deposits are a relatively new development, whilst the Zionist project has been in existence for quite some time, either going on for 600 years (Christian Zionism) or 100 years+ for political Zionism.
An incomplete picture leads to an unclear understanding, which will not lead to a true solution.
Exactly, it’s all about money and resources. Every single war the US is involved in, is about stealing peoples resources. It’s what they do and they make money on the weapons that are used to kill the innocent!!
I’ve been thinking. I know, that can be dangerous, but as I did my morning chores on the farm I thought, “What downside is there to telling the far-right-wing Israeli governing regime that we are, within a week, say, suspending the shipment of all offensive arms to Israel?” Wrap it up. It’s over. No more bombing and shelling of Gaza or Lebanon. No more IDF and settler incursions into the West Bank.
Seriously. What is the downside of putting a stop to actions that have led to an escalation of tensions and enormous bloodshed, death and destruction? What is the downside to stopping this before it enters a new and disastrous phase for Israel, the U.S. and the region?
Would that offend our “ally?” Most certainly. But not beyond repair. Would it destroy our relationship or our alliance? Not remotely. Chastening Israel and forcing them to cease and desist would piss off a lot of people, but would that matter? Israelis and their American Zionist supporters would likely throw a hissy fit, but so what? It is clear that most Americans want an end to the violence and bloodshed. Most Americans want an arms embargo. Most Americans, when asked, want justice for the Palestinians and peace in the region. So for the people who are in charge of our foreign policy such an action would be in accord with the American majority.
Would the alliance be at risk? Would Israel rush to the welcoming arms (no pun intended) of a geopolitical rival, one who would support them in the way that the U.S. has supported them for decades? To whom could they run for succor and alliance if they feel “abandoned” by the U.S?
When I scan the world for potential alternate allies for Israel should they run away in a huff from their indulgent senior partner I don’t see a single potential ally that would be remotely interested in supporting their racist-supremacist, settler-colonial, ethno-religious project in a manner similar to what the good ol’ USA has done for 75 years. Perhaps the UK, but c’mon...The UK is coming apart as we speak, with enormous social unrest and an economy that has utterly failed the working Brit. They haven’t the massive arms industry of the U.S. and can’t afford to upscale what they have. Their GDP is a fraction of ours, so they couldn’t take over for the U.S. as sugar daddy.
It’s not like the U.S couldn’t put its foot down, stop the slaughter, and resume kissing Zionist asses in the future. Loving up to Israel could occur later, just not now, when scores of tens of thousands have been killed, dismembered, maimed, starved, orphaned, de-family’d, unhoused, impoverished and rendered deeply sorrowful and hateful by our client’s simple cruelty and barbarity. We could insist that they stop now, and later we could send a dozen roses and a heartfelt note to the effect that “we still love you, sweetums!”
So what is the downside of telling Netanyahu, et. al., to STOP?
I don’t see one. Thus, I am forced to conclude that our so-called “leaders” actually WANT Israel to pursue a final solution to the Palestinian “problem” as the preferred course to bring “peace” to this chronically troubled region. And I mean all that that implies and entails. It is a draconian solution, with sinister echoes of the past century, but perhaps that’s what our U.S. foreign policy leaders, our President and ass-kissing Congress want. Because when the Palestinians are gone or utterly subdued, beaten down and subjugated under a unified Jewish Israel from the river to the sea, in an apartheid state (necessarily), perhaps then there will be peace.
(Of course, peace wouldn’t suit our arms manufacturers, but there are always other customers in our Manichean theater of Good Vs. Evil. The U.S. can always gin up more “enemies” from which our erstwhile allies must be saved.)
But if Washington’s only fear is of losing an “essential” ally in this ludicrously asymmetric relationship, then my question is “Why?” As I review history, it seems to me that Israel has caused the U.S. far more heartburn, aggravation and resentment than it has delivered benefits. It has certainly burned through our tax dollars. It has always spied on us, influences our elections and even attacked our servicemen in 1967. It’s always pulling us into some moral and diplomatic calamity. Can’t see what we’ve gotten from this relationship. And besides, if we, just this once, tell them “No” we can always kiss and make up later. Forever friends, right? Every relationship needs boundaries.
The two-state solution is an utter impossibility. Gaza is destroyed and the West Bank has 700,000 Jewish settlers and is riddled with Jewish-only roads and highways. The settlers will NEVER agree to live under democratic rule in a Palestinian state and Israel doesn’t seem shy about annexing as much territory as it can. Israel has been coveting southern Lebanon and the Bekaa valley for decades. Lots of water and fertile cropland, you know. Why this unconditional support for Israel?
So I can only conclude that the calculating geniuses that run our foreign policy, and Israel’s pathetic sycophants in Congress, the media and the presidency must actually WANT what is happening to continue until God-knows-what occurs that will somehow bring peace to the region. In the past year the Zionists have created more enemies than they have destroyed. Victory by the Zionists implies totality, and thus will be a culmination of the project of ethnic cleansing. Fortress Israel. Forever. Peace will be the final result of all-out war, and perhaps it is hoped that there will be no one left to exterminate, deport or subdue when Israel emerges the winner in its personal Armageddon. Israel will reign supreme in all its Zionist glory, all enemies extinguished. It seems fatally naive, but then I’m no foreign policy “expert.”
The other scenario is that Israel destroys itself, and that is not a far fetched outcome, given Israel’s persistent attitude of superiority, impunity, belligerence and casual brutality that is fast losing its appeal in the community of nations. But that can’t be the outcome the smartest people in the room want, can it?
Am I missing something? If our foreign policy savants want some other outcome then why are they pursuing the course that they are? Why have they chosen to be the indulgent parent to the obstreperous brat in Palestine? If we are doing exactly what Israel wants, the only conclusion that I can come to is that what the Israelis want must be what our “leaders” want, too, their protestations to the contrary.
And that is soul-crushing, because what the Israelis want has been crystal clear for a century. It is not in accord with purported American values of justice and mercy and fair dealing, nor of international law. But perhaps that is the problem: our political class long ago abandoned those values. In their place is only cynical political calculation or insane religious zealotry, all in the pursuit of U.S. geopolitical interests (and, let us not forget, “God’s promise” to Abraham) and to the detriment of our sick, perhaps terminally ill, republic, and of peace and stability in the world.
If we want to put an end to the terrible misery in Palestine and to avoid catastrophe we need only say “STOP.” That Washington will not say it says everything about the current situation and the misbegotten role of the U.S. in world affairs.
Appears that Congress and Executive are trapped in a virtual animals cage, and the master/trainer is Israel. My suspicion is that releasing any of these criminals from captivity (allowing truths to emerge about Israel’s real intent for Palestine). would expose a wide blackmailing scandal involving many American politicos Israel knows about in detail!!
The majority of Americans are opposed to the genocide, but the masters of the empire don’t care what Americans want. Many Americans have been brainwashed by the state to believe what they say and what the MSM says and can’t see past the mind control. Why are the people of the EU any better than their leaders, than Americans are? They have evil leaders, just the same. I
All the countries in the Western European and American alliance are on board with this, especially Germany and the UK. If they weren’t, they’d stop giving them weapons.
They’re all lapdogs of the American Imperium. But the people of the EU are a lot better than their leaders and are wondering what they have to gain from economic disruption and world conflagration. Following America’s lead is a short road to Hell, as we—and Israel—will soon discover.
The old saying goes, "Actions speak louder than words." It's proven right time after time.
Anyone who thinks the world can get "joyful vibes" by giving billions of dollars in weaponry to a genocidal maniac of a regime in Izrealhell probably deserves more than just my words, "You're psychotic!" repeated over and over at them. They deserve a good smack about the face (action) repeatedly until they wake up from their brainwashed state and realize that politicians who support genocide aren't nice people and probably are lying about the "joy" sh*t as well.
The first 4.5 lines of the above resonate with me, until what you propose what "They deserve".. I've always been opposed to violence, but in this case maybe you're onto something....
Six months ago the official Gaza body count was 40k, but then a Lancet study estimated it was actually closer to 200k ... correct me if I'm wrong, but we now no longer hear of any estimates ...
America is on its self made death bed, talking about electing one of the candidates above the other is pretty pointless unfortunately.
Either party will continue the bastardry.
For a time there I thought trump might be Americas last chance at redemption, but it is clear that this is not to be the case.
What’s left of Americas is beyond fixing.
Anarchy, financial and societal destitution will come to the US.
Without external assistance it might be two or three generations before America reaches even third world status the way it’s headed.
Maybe the BRICs coalition will take pity on them and offer a helping hand, but without that? America as we were once led to believe it was will be gone forever.
Good for you although being down here in Oz I really don’t know that much about her but if she is anti Ukraine, anti Israel anti LGBTQRSTX++ she might just be on the right path.
Anarchy isn't a bad thing 🤦♀️ It simply means NO HIERARCHIES. All hierarchies are AUTHORITARIAN. You cannot have a democratic hierarchy. Governments are ALL HIERARCHIES. Of course they're going to tell you anarchy is bad.
Jasmine you seem to be under the impression that “anarchy” is a desirable outcome, and that without hierarchy or government all will be Kumbyar you say it is our natural state, well living like just another denizen of a jungle where physical might is right, where the strong prey upon the weak
Keep that one for yourself thank you.
Anarchy is not some cool socialist Utopia of peaceful coexistence, No, the Hollywood version does not exist I’ve seen the jungle of anarchy , so, no thank you.
Mate the entire “west”is terrified of BRICs, they know it will be the end of them, that’s why the west tries so hard to put BRICs down, but they can’t. It’s too late. I just worry for the meeting in Kazan on 22-23 October that it doesn’t get nukes by the west
"Without external assistance it might be two or three generations before America reaches even third world status"... With the present warring conditions prevailing, especially between the good guys with nukes and bad guys, with nukes, the chances that the next generation will even exist are getting fewer by the hour, never mind decades.
"Maybe a few hypersonic missiles into Europe might wake them up too".... Hopefully, but according to Annie Jacobsen, in her latest book entitled "Nuclear War, a Scenario", any launch of nuclear warheads of any kind immediately results in nuclear war. If you're interested, this interview with Lex Fridman, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=za6tZB19E4c&t=23s probably sums it up pretty well.
I once held that same hope Jeck, unfortunately the available evidence suggests otherwise. I just feel so damn sorry for all the good, decent hard working Americans that just wish to live in peace.
Not much I can do for them from down here in Oz, not to mention our politicians are no less criminal than those that now run your country (assuming you’re American) we are having the same issues in this country but not quite so bad here yet, I just hope ours will see the light before it’s to late.
Reminds me of an account Carl Jung gave in his MDR autobiography. It's kind of getting late here so I'm going to be extremely brief. But Jung famously wrote about visiting Germany and having a series of waking visions while traveling on a train. Now Jung was used to examining his dreams at night, but waking dreams is a more unusual psychological phenomena and Jung thought he may be having an actual psychotic break with reality, and it was not something he had encountered before (I believe). The waking vision was along the lines of a huge ocean of blood, rolling over and covering over the entire continent of Europe (I'm probably butchering this but it's getting late here and I'm not going to reference the book 5 feet away).
Jung, although fearing for his sanity, believing he was having a psychotic break, approached the waking vision as he approached a normal dream but wasn't quite sure how to interpret the images or what it meant to him personally. Note that it is a rather common feature of Psi like phenomena, when the unconscious forcefully enters ego consciousness in a dramatic fashion, that the dream or even waking vision becomes extremely *vivid* and also has a distinct and powerful emotional impact, as this waking vision had on Jung.
Jung later came to realize the waking vision portended the coming world war that would cover all of the European continent with bloodshed and war. And he realized also there was nothing at all he personally could do about it. That his unconscious was aware that these events were about to transpire, and perhaps were preparing him (as many dreams often do) of future events.
Sometimes, all we can do is accept Fate. Jung traveled back home (to Switzerland) and realized the best he could do was live his own life and take care of his family as best he could. And of course speak out against the coming red sea of blood he had envisioned, but that such world stage events (much like ones own mortality) is not something one can control or overcome. And in the end, it really is one's own individual values and fulfillment that has any true meaning, as opposed to those mythological Fates that one will not be able to avoid or control.
ps: This is not to mean one should avoid social responsibility, but that social responsibility should not be forced upon one at the expense of psychological individuation, which Jung felt was in the end, the more meaningful part of one's destiny. And he felt (rather strongly) by following one's personal individuation, one also fulfills all necessary social obligations.
Realizing that we/you/I have been complicit in the destruction of enlightened human existence is, I imagine, as terrible a conclusion as one could have about the story of our individual lives .
Well Jenny, Oz is Australia, but I’m certainly not going to accept any indictments re what the British empire did or did not do in their day.
Mind you the fox hunt story is one I’ve not heard before.
All countries at one time or another do reprehensible things, but what we are seeing now in our “enlighten age” Is the pits of debauched human actions.
“they’d see that the empire will never let anyone elect a peacemaker as president.”
What an ah-ha statement that is. What are we focused on if not focused on peace and love, care and concern - all of us. What a bunch of craziness we humans perpetuate. Ugh.
We are a conquered nation with an occupier govt. The current administration is actively working towards the destruction of the USA, as well as most Republican legislators. Stranding ovations for Netanyahu and Zelensky.....malignant FDA, FBI, CDC etc ...MSM = Pravda. Etc. Etc etc
The 'elephant in the room' here in the USA is the Two Party System. This is one huge lie. There is ONE party, that is the Uni-Party, the party of powerful, tyrannical government. That party has two main branches, the Red Branch and the Blue Branch. This is essential for the deception of the so called 'electorate'.
Consider this truth:
"Don't you see what... what's going on? We're no better off than we were before. They let us complain and--and make suggestions but, they never really change anything. They let us choose between Master Jones and Mr Johnson. What's the difference? They still make all the rules. Punish us if we disobey. We... we still do all the work. They come and take as much as they want. And they give us just enough. Just enough, that we don't rise up, or run away. Slave... to work. The way I see it is, they just change the words they use. Nothing is really changed, we are all still slaves."
- "Samuel" lines quoted by that character from the film "JONES PLANTATION"
100%. If you look at Israel’s actions it’s worse than you would think. Israel is bombing Lebanon to distract the world from their genocide in Gaza. Check out my article:
Those giving Netanyahu 58 standing ovations are accessories to ITS actions. They emboldened this monster to do all that we are seeing and will see. May they all go down with this psychopath.
100%. Every person in Biden’s cabinet is a war criminal and so are the liars in the MSM. Journalists that report lies for the government should be prosecuted and held accountable.
American politics really can’t be more disgusting for reasons you’ve stated. I really apologize that Americans lack a conscience, are so utterly ignorant, are so supportive of violence as a means of settling differences.

My theory: it's not a matter of "settling differences"...anywhere, anytime. It's ALL about "you have what I want, and I'm taking it from you." No matter what it takes. Genocide. Slavery. Etc.
That’s how America was settled!
It needs to be razed before it can be settled.
Patricia,
"That’s how America was settled!"... And whose voters are about to "Make America Great Again!".
America would have been better off to prevent its ceasing to be great in the first place.
It could have been truly great, instead it told itself “the story of we are good” while raping and pillaging the planet.
The people learned raping and pillaging from their leaders who did it for the money.
They've been programmed by Hollywood movies.
Problem. Kill everyone causing the problem. Problem solved.
That's what they believe.
For years, for sure!
I agree. American popular culture is inherently violent.
I don't really do pop culture, but got trapped into watching "The Matrix" once.
At one point, the main character said, "Guns. What we need now are lots of guns." And suddenly, racks and racks of weapons materialized!"
In Canada, it might have been, "Donuts. What we need now are lots of donuts." And suddenly racks and racks of donuts appear, which they feed to The Bad Guys™ until they all die of heart attacks!
Canada is a little less violent currently, but that’s because it doesn’t need to be right now for settler colonialism to happen. The US and Canada are both founded on genocide.
But the attitudes are so very different!
In the US, when some oil company wants to put a pipe under sacred waters, it's "But that was so long ago. Can't you just get over it?" Then they come in with the flak-jacketed troops and guns and cram the pipeline up the natives' åss.
Whereas in Canada, when they want to put a pipeline under sacred waters, it's "Oh, we're so sorry. We've ratified the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People, and we really hope to abide by it soon, right after we clear you off with flak-jacketed troops and guns and cram this pipeline up your åss."
See the difference?
Me neither.
I guess that believing everything ones television tells one has nothing to do with it.
I’ve seen polls for months showing that Americans support a ceasefire by large percentages. This has no effect on the political leadership. Tells you what kind of democracy we actually have in the Land of the Free (TM).
Joy,
"What kind of democracy we actually have in the Land of the Free (TM)." Democracy walked out the door when the power of MONEY walked in.
True dat. In fact I’d say Money always owned the house: Democracy was just a trophy wife
Actually there never was a democracy. At a minimum you need publicly financed elections.
They never listen nor do they ask what we think. I mean, why would they when it's easier to just ignore us. I expect at some point they're all gonna get a rude awakening.
Mukkael,
" I expect at some point they're all gonna get a rude awakening." If the words of 'The Russians' are real when threatening nuclear holocaust, "rude awakenings" may indeed be on the menu.
Americans trust their sources of misinformation more than they lack consciousnesses.
Arresting all domestic representatives of AIPAC and the members of Congress that take bribes from them would go a long way towards solving Americans' addictions to Zionism.
America's always been a violent and sadistic culture. They never changed their settler colonial mindset since their massacre of native americans - once a beast is always a beast.

I can't help but think there is a much more sinister thing that is going on with the US political leaders and their relationship with Israel. Some say they are bought off, but to me, money can't be the only thing that Israel has on the political leaders of the US. There are some ugly, bloody, unscrupulous, snuff movies, trafficking blackmail that is twisting the arms of political leaders worldwide. Israel has the handle of fear over these folks but that handle is teaming with slime and outrageous character and reputational undermining that these folks can't afford to have exposed. The fact that Israel can blatantly shove its foot up the arses of the leaders of the world without even the slightest hesitancy shows an arrogance that is based in a certain reality that probably took decades to develop. Whatever the case may be, they know that know one, especially the US, will be "ABLE" to stop them.
I have long thought the Monica Lewinsky thing was a blackmail operation. What women save a semen sample in a safe deposit box?
Do they call it "deep throat"? These folks are more than compromised. They are so guilty that the skeletons in their closet are rattling and about to bust out. Can't have that, so they'll continue to appease the aviator of mass destruction.
Ironically, the US taxpayer is paying for the munitions that are given to Israel who in turns sells them to other nations, even Russia. I mean how corrupt can this thing get?
I think it was Gorbachev in his memoir who said that he was told three months in advance that the Republicans were going to plant a woman to compromise Clinton. It sure derailed anything he wanted to do for the rest of the term. And she had that helper from the Pentagon with the equipment for illegally recording conversations. Nothing to see here!
Not sure how that would work, as Gorbachev was long out of power when l'affaire Lewinsky took place.
If it can be shown that Clinton was reluctant to proceed with Yugoslavia then it makes sense. Wag the Dog comes to mind.

Why would you believe "anything" Times of Israel (of all sources) has to say about this (or anything else)?
I’m sorry. Not a good source. Here. Have a look and explain how an intern with a bachelor’s degree became s member of senior staff in very very short order? Those jobs are coveted senior positions that serve the president directly, not a position ever filled by a mew employee. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinton%E2%80%93Lewinsky_scandal#:~:text=Lewinsky%20was%20a%20graduate%20of,House%20Office%20of%20Legislative%20Affairs.
Therein lies the problem in such logic.
Because YOU/Someone cannot see a reason as to why "an intern with a bachelor’s degree became s member of senior staff in very very short order" then that MUST mean YOUR theory is TRUE?
That's the logic of conspiracy theorists. Here's how it goes:
(1) A = low probability event
(2) B = probable conspiratorial explanation/hypotheis attempting to explain A
(3) C to Z = other hypothesis (with different probabilities) that explain event A
So, a conspiracy theorist would jump to the following conclusion:
"If A, then B" instead of "if A then anything from B to Z based on probability calculations and real-world scenarios".
i.e. conspiracy theorists find it difficult to find explanations for A (low probability events like 9/11, Oct.7, etc.) that lie in the range of "C to Z" as possible answers (even though answers in this range have higher probabilities than answer B which is full of conjectures).
Once in a rare while, answer B will land up being true over answers C-Z (as in CointelPro, MKUltra, etc.). But exceptions to the rule doesn't make the exceptions THE rule.
Randomness and coincidences have a funny way of wrecking havoc in the logic of people, and humans are intellectually ill-equiped (for evolutionary reasons) to deal with randomness concepts (and everything it entails).
lol!
I think the people in Washington are scared of these people. I think there is some sort of unspoken threat. Perhaps 9/11 related...? Dunno. No proof.
There is lots of proof.
“Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.”
Woodrow Wilson, New Freedom
Sounds like the corruption goes back decades upon decades if Woodrow Wilson said that. Like any unhealed festering sore, it only gets worse with time. WW would probably roll over in his grave if he knew what was going on now. Ha, maybe he does, someone should ask him.
He signed the Federal Reserve into law. Enough said.
Look at the pic of Karl Marx in Wikipedia. Note the hidden hand.
I see why you think that, but America is the Empire, Israel is its tool. America needs war or it cannot survive, Israel is doing its bidding.
America did just fine before the MICIMATT complex took over the economy.
Nana,
"Some say they are bought off, but to me, money can't be the only thing that Israel has on the political leaders of the US"... Although MONEY is indeed the number One priority for everyone, pro-semitism has to be a close second.
But why?
Because Slavery is the most profitable economic system ever devised. This is also about power, not just money. They can easily print that.
It’s just money and empire. Israel has bred a society of psychopaths over the past few generations and it’s just what the US war machine was wanting. People growing up with intense propaganda towards Muslims and that they are the superior race has created a supremely evil entity that is deranged and blood hungry. We have the same propaganda in the US, but to a lesser degree, maybe. Israel is a like Frankenstein’s monster and the US is Frankenstein. Biden and his cabinet want this to be happening. It pleases the weapons manufacturers, and every other evil entity that profits off death.
Israel is the scorpion, America the frog.
Nope - both are scorpions (and worse). The US does not get a free pass on this - I would say that it (the US) is MORE at fault for this Genocide than even Israel - because without the US, Israel is unlikely to have survived for so long (IMHO).
Also, SatanYahu is a creature created by "America".
Hmmm...fair comment. However, it is clear that *Israel" controls the US and not vice versa.
That's where YOU (and many others) have been gaslighted. Understand Middle-East history. Understand geopolitics. Read some of Caitlin's articles on this subject.
Just as Israeli Zionists are brainwashed/gaslighted about Israel, unfortunately many Americans are similarly brainwashed/gaslighted about WHO/WHAT America really is (and always has been).
that's right chokaski show jeck how he (along with many others) is "gaslighted" and confused. good one as usual from chokaski. never lets the forum down.
If you seek the downfall of America, then you are the one who has been bamboozled into wanting what the globalists are planning for you
I don't seek the downfall of the "American people". I seek the downfall of the systems that enable the 1% to oppress and suppress the 99% globally - and currently the U.S. is at the top of that hierarchy of systems that is destroying the world AND the planet. If you still haven't realized this, then you have been brainwashed/gaslighted since birth (as have many others).
Again, the same analogy as Israeli brainwashing/narratives applies to you/most Americans.
Far be it for me to be able to wake you up from your perceptions/narratives/etc. That's what Caitlin's articles are for!
Also listen/read some of Noam Chomsky, Michael Parenti, Chris Hedges, John Pilger, Vijay Prashad, Michael Hudson to understand some of this "brainwashing" better.
They want you to think that. Why would they all of a sudden tell the truth about something that would expose them as what they are? As Biden has repeatedly said, “ if there wasn’t an Israel, we would have to create an Israel”. He’s said this over many decades.
Exactamundo!
Congress appropriates the money going to Israel, not the president.
AIPAC controls Congress better than voters do.
Amen, Caitlin! It always amazes me that so many humans only listen to the words, and don't pay attention at all to the speaker's deeds. Like I learned from the mother of my best friend, "It isn't true that you can't trust people. You can always trust people to do what they've always done."
It took me a long time to learn this.
Same here.
Me, too! That's why I remember her saying so vividly. Three first time I heard it, the lights went on!
Imagine the outrage if Lebanon leveled 6 Israeli high rise buildings in an attempt to assassinate. Netanyahu.
Americans were outraged when the towers were leveled by …., but they have stayed silent about Israel leveling twice the number of buildings.
When I listen to what they say and see what they don't do I understand very well what gaslighting means.
Israel & the West are looking to steal natural gas resources off the coast of Lebanon & Israel. Those natural gas resources are the largest deposits in the world.
That may weel be true, but it is not dispositive of the situation, given that these deposits are a relatively new development, whilst the Zionist project has been in existence for quite some time, either going on for 600 years (Christian Zionism) or 100 years+ for political Zionism.
An incomplete picture leads to an unclear understanding, which will not lead to a true solution.
I know the Guardian isn’t a necessarily good resource, but they sometimes get it right.
https://atmos.earth/this-genocide-is-about-oil/
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/14/global-oil-industry-impact-israel-gaza-war
Doubtful. Besides, Israel has been at this for a long time.
Exactly, it’s all about money and resources. Every single war the US is involved in, is about stealing peoples resources. It’s what they do and they make money on the weapons that are used to kill the innocent!!
🎯🎯🎯
I’ve been thinking. I know, that can be dangerous, but as I did my morning chores on the farm I thought, “What downside is there to telling the far-right-wing Israeli governing regime that we are, within a week, say, suspending the shipment of all offensive arms to Israel?” Wrap it up. It’s over. No more bombing and shelling of Gaza or Lebanon. No more IDF and settler incursions into the West Bank.
Seriously. What is the downside of putting a stop to actions that have led to an escalation of tensions and enormous bloodshed, death and destruction? What is the downside to stopping this before it enters a new and disastrous phase for Israel, the U.S. and the region?
Would that offend our “ally?” Most certainly. But not beyond repair. Would it destroy our relationship or our alliance? Not remotely. Chastening Israel and forcing them to cease and desist would piss off a lot of people, but would that matter? Israelis and their American Zionist supporters would likely throw a hissy fit, but so what? It is clear that most Americans want an end to the violence and bloodshed. Most Americans want an arms embargo. Most Americans, when asked, want justice for the Palestinians and peace in the region. So for the people who are in charge of our foreign policy such an action would be in accord with the American majority.
Would the alliance be at risk? Would Israel rush to the welcoming arms (no pun intended) of a geopolitical rival, one who would support them in the way that the U.S. has supported them for decades? To whom could they run for succor and alliance if they feel “abandoned” by the U.S?
When I scan the world for potential alternate allies for Israel should they run away in a huff from their indulgent senior partner I don’t see a single potential ally that would be remotely interested in supporting their racist-supremacist, settler-colonial, ethno-religious project in a manner similar to what the good ol’ USA has done for 75 years. Perhaps the UK, but c’mon...The UK is coming apart as we speak, with enormous social unrest and an economy that has utterly failed the working Brit. They haven’t the massive arms industry of the U.S. and can’t afford to upscale what they have. Their GDP is a fraction of ours, so they couldn’t take over for the U.S. as sugar daddy.
It’s not like the U.S couldn’t put its foot down, stop the slaughter, and resume kissing Zionist asses in the future. Loving up to Israel could occur later, just not now, when scores of tens of thousands have been killed, dismembered, maimed, starved, orphaned, de-family’d, unhoused, impoverished and rendered deeply sorrowful and hateful by our client’s simple cruelty and barbarity. We could insist that they stop now, and later we could send a dozen roses and a heartfelt note to the effect that “we still love you, sweetums!”
So what is the downside of telling Netanyahu, et. al., to STOP?
I don’t see one. Thus, I am forced to conclude that our so-called “leaders” actually WANT Israel to pursue a final solution to the Palestinian “problem” as the preferred course to bring “peace” to this chronically troubled region. And I mean all that that implies and entails. It is a draconian solution, with sinister echoes of the past century, but perhaps that’s what our U.S. foreign policy leaders, our President and ass-kissing Congress want. Because when the Palestinians are gone or utterly subdued, beaten down and subjugated under a unified Jewish Israel from the river to the sea, in an apartheid state (necessarily), perhaps then there will be peace.
(Of course, peace wouldn’t suit our arms manufacturers, but there are always other customers in our Manichean theater of Good Vs. Evil. The U.S. can always gin up more “enemies” from which our erstwhile allies must be saved.)
But if Washington’s only fear is of losing an “essential” ally in this ludicrously asymmetric relationship, then my question is “Why?” As I review history, it seems to me that Israel has caused the U.S. far more heartburn, aggravation and resentment than it has delivered benefits. It has certainly burned through our tax dollars. It has always spied on us, influences our elections and even attacked our servicemen in 1967. It’s always pulling us into some moral and diplomatic calamity. Can’t see what we’ve gotten from this relationship. And besides, if we, just this once, tell them “No” we can always kiss and make up later. Forever friends, right? Every relationship needs boundaries.
The two-state solution is an utter impossibility. Gaza is destroyed and the West Bank has 700,000 Jewish settlers and is riddled with Jewish-only roads and highways. The settlers will NEVER agree to live under democratic rule in a Palestinian state and Israel doesn’t seem shy about annexing as much territory as it can. Israel has been coveting southern Lebanon and the Bekaa valley for decades. Lots of water and fertile cropland, you know. Why this unconditional support for Israel?
So I can only conclude that the calculating geniuses that run our foreign policy, and Israel’s pathetic sycophants in Congress, the media and the presidency must actually WANT what is happening to continue until God-knows-what occurs that will somehow bring peace to the region. In the past year the Zionists have created more enemies than they have destroyed. Victory by the Zionists implies totality, and thus will be a culmination of the project of ethnic cleansing. Fortress Israel. Forever. Peace will be the final result of all-out war, and perhaps it is hoped that there will be no one left to exterminate, deport or subdue when Israel emerges the winner in its personal Armageddon. Israel will reign supreme in all its Zionist glory, all enemies extinguished. It seems fatally naive, but then I’m no foreign policy “expert.”
The other scenario is that Israel destroys itself, and that is not a far fetched outcome, given Israel’s persistent attitude of superiority, impunity, belligerence and casual brutality that is fast losing its appeal in the community of nations. But that can’t be the outcome the smartest people in the room want, can it?
Am I missing something? If our foreign policy savants want some other outcome then why are they pursuing the course that they are? Why have they chosen to be the indulgent parent to the obstreperous brat in Palestine? If we are doing exactly what Israel wants, the only conclusion that I can come to is that what the Israelis want must be what our “leaders” want, too, their protestations to the contrary.
And that is soul-crushing, because what the Israelis want has been crystal clear for a century. It is not in accord with purported American values of justice and mercy and fair dealing, nor of international law. But perhaps that is the problem: our political class long ago abandoned those values. In their place is only cynical political calculation or insane religious zealotry, all in the pursuit of U.S. geopolitical interests (and, let us not forget, “God’s promise” to Abraham) and to the detriment of our sick, perhaps terminally ill, republic, and of peace and stability in the world.
If we want to put an end to the terrible misery in Palestine and to avoid catastrophe we need only say “STOP.” That Washington will not say it says everything about the current situation and the misbegotten role of the U.S. in world affairs.
Right. They are methodically starting a fire called world war 3.
This is going according to plan.
I am certainly the same as you Will in your thinking.
❤️🔥 *Very* well-written~
Appears that Congress and Executive are trapped in a virtual animals cage, and the master/trainer is Israel. My suspicion is that releasing any of these criminals from captivity (allowing truths to emerge about Israel’s real intent for Palestine). would expose a wide blackmailing scandal involving many American politicos Israel knows about in detail!!
The majority of Americans are opposed to the genocide, but the masters of the empire don’t care what Americans want. Many Americans have been brainwashed by the state to believe what they say and what the MSM says and can’t see past the mind control. Why are the people of the EU any better than their leaders, than Americans are? They have evil leaders, just the same. I
All the countries in the Western European and American alliance are on board with this, especially Germany and the UK. If they weren’t, they’d stop giving them weapons.
They’re all lapdogs of the American Imperium. But the people of the EU are a lot better than their leaders and are wondering what they have to gain from economic disruption and world conflagration. Following America’s lead is a short road to Hell, as we—and Israel—will soon discover.
The old saying goes, "Actions speak louder than words." It's proven right time after time.
Anyone who thinks the world can get "joyful vibes" by giving billions of dollars in weaponry to a genocidal maniac of a regime in Izrealhell probably deserves more than just my words, "You're psychotic!" repeated over and over at them. They deserve a good smack about the face (action) repeatedly until they wake up from their brainwashed state and realize that politicians who support genocide aren't nice people and probably are lying about the "joy" sh*t as well.
I dunno. Maybe it really is genocide with joy.
The Revolution.....
The first 4.5 lines of the above resonate with me, until what you propose what "They deserve".. I've always been opposed to violence, but in this case maybe you're onto something....
Excuse me but “probably lying about the
Am I the only one to notice?
Six months ago the official Gaza body count was 40k, but then a Lancet study estimated it was actually closer to 200k ... correct me if I'm wrong, but we now no longer hear of any estimates ...
I don't understand how there is anyone in Gaza still alive.
The true death count could be 300-400k ...
And no one would dare mention those three little words: "Straight of Hormuz" ...
It most certainly is in the 400,000 range and I still believe that could be a low number.
I keep seeing different numbers....my guess is it's now closer to 400k
America is on its self made death bed, talking about electing one of the candidates above the other is pretty pointless unfortunately.
Either party will continue the bastardry.
For a time there I thought trump might be Americas last chance at redemption, but it is clear that this is not to be the case.
What’s left of Americas is beyond fixing.
Anarchy, financial and societal destitution will come to the US.
Without external assistance it might be two or three generations before America reaches even third world status the way it’s headed.
Maybe the BRICs coalition will take pity on them and offer a helping hand, but without that? America as we were once led to believe it was will be gone forever.
I’m voting for one of the non-Uniparty candidates, Dr. Jill Stein. The only wasted vote is one not given to an anti- war candidate.
Good for you although being down here in Oz I really don’t know that much about her but if she is anti Ukraine, anti Israel anti LGBTQRSTX++ she might just be on the right path.
Anarchy isn't a bad thing 🤦♀️ It simply means NO HIERARCHIES. All hierarchies are AUTHORITARIAN. You cannot have a democratic hierarchy. Governments are ALL HIERARCHIES. Of course they're going to tell you anarchy is bad.
Anarchy is not just the destruction of governments, true “anarchy” meets the criteria set by Hobbes
Life is short and brutal
(Words to that affect, to late to bother full citations)
True anarchy is a scary thing. If you truly understand its meaning.
🤣🤡🤣
It's our natural state of being. You understand nothing about nature and how it actually works.
Jasmine you seem to be under the impression that “anarchy” is a desirable outcome, and that without hierarchy or government all will be Kumbyar you say it is our natural state, well living like just another denizen of a jungle where physical might is right, where the strong prey upon the weak
Keep that one for yourself thank you.
Anarchy is not some cool socialist Utopia of peaceful coexistence, No, the Hollywood version does not exist I’ve seen the jungle of anarchy , so, no thank you.
Hard, short and brutal, no thanks.
BRICS will destroy the US dollar.
When countries start dealing in their own currencies.

Thank you for this Feral.
Always with these reports.....where do they come from?
Already the Chinese are pulling out of the USA: Soybeans and corn.
They will try to grow their own because Brazil cannot produce enough and they are NOT relying on India.
I know a lot about India and Sri Lanka. Although they are NOT on the same planet they do have a few things in common.
BOTH countries: India wants ONLY Hindhus
Sri Lanka wants only Tharavada Buddhists.(the most aggressive Buddhists in the world.
I am of the opinion that India is hedging their bets.
The minute they see the US dollar falling they will fall in line with BRICS
The Indians have always been very smart people especially in Mathematics and produce some of the best medical people i the world.
I am pretty sure that China and Russia know this.
When it comes to the time when India (is in charge) it will be interesting to see which countries they support.
In my view India is not dissimilar (under Modi) than the USA.
I am not sure I have answered your question succinctly....I am tired and going away to Spain tomorrow without computers or Teee Veeee
I do not trust Modi as far as I could throw him. Duplicitous at the very least.
Mate the entire “west”is terrified of BRICs, they know it will be the end of them, that’s why the west tries so hard to put BRICs down, but they can’t. It’s too late. I just worry for the meeting in Kazan on 22-23 October that it doesn’t get nukes by the west
If the West is terrified, they sure don't act like it.
Sooner the better
Jim,
"Without external assistance it might be two or three generations before America reaches even third world status"... With the present warring conditions prevailing, especially between the good guys with nukes and bad guys, with nukes, the chances that the next generation will even exist are getting fewer by the hour, never mind decades.
Yes we are all but nanoseconds away from nuclear annihilation, hopefully the west will wake up to their stupidity, but I doubt it.
Maybe a few hypersonic missiles into Europe might wake them up too, but I doubt it.
The “West” want a nuclear war, with somebody, anybody, but we will see.
Hi Jim,
"Maybe a few hypersonic missiles into Europe might wake them up too".... Hopefully, but according to Annie Jacobsen, in her latest book entitled "Nuclear War, a Scenario", any launch of nuclear warheads of any kind immediately results in nuclear war. If you're interested, this interview with Lex Fridman, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=za6tZB19E4c&t=23s probably sums it up pretty well.
Believing it's a lost cause guarantees loss.
It is not a lost cause.
I once held that same hope Jeck, unfortunately the available evidence suggests otherwise. I just feel so damn sorry for all the good, decent hard working Americans that just wish to live in peace.
But as Jamenta has noted, in this case, the writing is on the wall
Interesting comment. Remember what the writing said?
"This is the inscription that was written: mene, mene, tekel, parsin
“Here is what these words mean:
Mene: God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end.
Tekel: You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.
Peres: Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians."
Hmmmm. The Persians. Now that would be interesting . . .
May well come about, the way things are looking
I think you need to understand the history of the Persian Empire?
Which aspect of its history are you referring to?
Then stand up for them.
Not much I can do for them from down here in Oz, not to mention our politicians are no less criminal than those that now run your country (assuming you’re American) we are having the same issues in this country but not quite so bad here yet, I just hope ours will see the light before it’s to late.
Sometimes the writing really is on the wall. I guess that is why in mythology the three Fates are some of the most powerful Gods imaginable.
As I wrote above, the reference to the writing on the wall is interesting. Remember that they said?
"This is the inscription that was written: mene, mene, tekel, parsin
“Here is what these words mean:
Mene: God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end.
Tekel: You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.
Peres: Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians."
The Persians??? Well, that would be interesting . . .
We must do what we can.
If we don't, we become complicit.
Well, I try and educate people and that is an important contribution because this BS can only continue while people remain ignorant.
Reminds me of an account Carl Jung gave in his MDR autobiography. It's kind of getting late here so I'm going to be extremely brief. But Jung famously wrote about visiting Germany and having a series of waking visions while traveling on a train. Now Jung was used to examining his dreams at night, but waking dreams is a more unusual psychological phenomena and Jung thought he may be having an actual psychotic break with reality, and it was not something he had encountered before (I believe). The waking vision was along the lines of a huge ocean of blood, rolling over and covering over the entire continent of Europe (I'm probably butchering this but it's getting late here and I'm not going to reference the book 5 feet away).
Jung, although fearing for his sanity, believing he was having a psychotic break, approached the waking vision as he approached a normal dream but wasn't quite sure how to interpret the images or what it meant to him personally. Note that it is a rather common feature of Psi like phenomena, when the unconscious forcefully enters ego consciousness in a dramatic fashion, that the dream or even waking vision becomes extremely *vivid* and also has a distinct and powerful emotional impact, as this waking vision had on Jung.
Jung later came to realize the waking vision portended the coming world war that would cover all of the European continent with bloodshed and war. And he realized also there was nothing at all he personally could do about it. That his unconscious was aware that these events were about to transpire, and perhaps were preparing him (as many dreams often do) of future events.
Sometimes, all we can do is accept Fate. Jung traveled back home (to Switzerland) and realized the best he could do was live his own life and take care of his family as best he could. And of course speak out against the coming red sea of blood he had envisioned, but that such world stage events (much like ones own mortality) is not something one can control or overcome. And in the end, it really is one's own individual values and fulfillment that has any true meaning, as opposed to those mythological Fates that one will not be able to avoid or control.
ps: This is not to mean one should avoid social responsibility, but that social responsibility should not be forced upon one at the expense of psychological individuation, which Jung felt was in the end, the more meaningful part of one's destiny. And he felt (rather strongly) by following one's personal individuation, one also fulfills all necessary social obligations.
Realizing that we/you/I have been complicit in the destruction of enlightened human existence is, I imagine, as terrible a conclusion as one could have about the story of our individual lives .
Jeck. As long as the US/UK keep sending arms to Israel you are complicit!
This is what happens when the educational system is DEFUNCT.
Is OZ a country?
In Tasmania YOU used the Aboriginals as foxes for your British hunts. Wiped them out!
Well Jenny, Oz is Australia, but I’m certainly not going to accept any indictments re what the British empire did or did not do in their day.
Mind you the fox hunt story is one I’ve not heard before.
All countries at one time or another do reprehensible things, but what we are seeing now in our “enlighten age” Is the pits of debauched human actions.
Oh and the hard-working Palestinians and the Lebanese are not the same. Fuck the USA
I couldn’t agree more, I was talking specifically of America though.
I’ve no time for the USA, they’re well overmatched and are simply hastening their own demise.
I just don’t want to see them tossing nukes around the place as they implode.
Jack. You are living in 'cloud cuckoo land.'
Yes it is 🤣
“they’d see that the empire will never let anyone elect a peacemaker as president.”
What an ah-ha statement that is. What are we focused on if not focused on peace and love, care and concern - all of us. What a bunch of craziness we humans perpetuate. Ugh.
Nowadays I pay no attention at all to what politicians say. Look at their record, that's the only way.
It’s a shell game. Forget the lips, watch the hands. And ONLY the hands.
We are a conquered nation with an occupier govt. The current administration is actively working towards the destruction of the USA, as well as most Republican legislators. Stranding ovations for Netanyahu and Zelensky.....malignant FDA, FBI, CDC etc ...MSM = Pravda. Etc. Etc etc
WW3 is, of course, what they want .
The 'elephant in the room' here in the USA is the Two Party System. This is one huge lie. There is ONE party, that is the Uni-Party, the party of powerful, tyrannical government. That party has two main branches, the Red Branch and the Blue Branch. This is essential for the deception of the so called 'electorate'.
Consider this truth:
"Don't you see what... what's going on? We're no better off than we were before. They let us complain and--and make suggestions but, they never really change anything. They let us choose between Master Jones and Mr Johnson. What's the difference? They still make all the rules. Punish us if we disobey. We... we still do all the work. They come and take as much as they want. And they give us just enough. Just enough, that we don't rise up, or run away. Slave... to work. The way I see it is, they just change the words they use. Nothing is really changed, we are all still slaves."
- "Samuel" lines quoted by that character from the film "JONES PLANTATION"
They are looting the treasury before the fiat currency crash/reset.
100%. If you look at Israel’s actions it’s worse than you would think. Israel is bombing Lebanon to distract the world from their genocide in Gaza. Check out my article:
https://open.substack.com/pub/andrewsurman/p/israel-is-bombing-lebanon-so-you?r=2jrz7r&utm_medium=ios
Those giving Netanyahu 58 standing ovations are accessories to ITS actions. They emboldened this monster to do all that we are seeing and will see. May they all go down with this psychopath.
Well it could have been worse. If congress wasn’t full of geriatrics then it might have been 100 standing ovations.
🥹
Oh man you nailed. I saw a number actually struggling to rise for the dark lord.
100%. Every person in Biden’s cabinet is a war criminal and so are the liars in the MSM. Journalists that report lies for the government should be prosecuted and held accountable.
