I think this must be one of your best articles, (and they're all good). This gets right to the point: your aim is as straight as an arrow, and you hit the bullseye.
Orwell’s 1984 might have been a user manual for the Biden Administration, but Catch-22’s Milo Minderbinder was a 'do-it-yourself' instructor on how to navigate an insane world and profit from it.
We live in a bloody grotesque, a Twilight Zone episode on acid.
If there is ONE, just one positive aspect in all of this, it is that many people have awoken to these murderous elitist and corporate scum (making money from wars and deaths OF US PLEBS) ... and not only that but have seen how evil, brutal and grotesque Israel are in it's treatment of Palestinians (and all Countries) FINALLY !.
Unfortunately this is not stopping the genocide YET.
Nothing about smearing Orwell and Catch-22? Anyway, you offer an interesting perspective. Now, I can't help but wonder how genocide — if one were to be in the midst of it as a hologram — must look like on acid.
Our reality is far worse than any nightmarish acid trip. A kicker? We're creating that trip by believing those dead Ukrainian, Russian, Palestinian, and Israeli people are holograms themselves, and not humans made of blood and flesh, that's now rotting on the battlefields, mirroring the West's rotten soul.
Jeez — 'Nothing about smearing Orwell and Catch-22?' — was a jocular question, wondering why the focus was solely on Twilight Zone and acid, and not also on Orwell and Catch-22.
But then, my attempt to be light and funny failed miserably so I will let you enjoy your own zones wherever they have taken you.
Well, liberals are good for Two Minutes' Hate, so there's that. Rodney King was being a liberal when he asked, "Can't we all just get along?" The answer is "No," as Mr. King was instructed in detail by the minions of the State. So what are we going to do about it?
I have some suggestions here from weird people. Here's Dorothy Day: “As we come to know the seriousness of the situation, the war, the racism, the poverty in our world, we come to realize that things will not be changed simply by words or demonstrations. Rather, it’s a question of living one’s life in a drastically different way.” Or more succinctly from the poet Rilke, "You must change your life."
I haven't managed it, either. Still struggling with it. Poor ol' liberals. Keep trying, brothers and sisters.
"Mr. Biden remains opposed to cutting off munitions or leveraging them to influence the fighting.”
This is the real story, but of course they can't fill up newsprint with short and sweet statements like this. The reader wouldn't become distracted from the content of the sentence and think: "Why is Biden so opposed to cutting off the arms sales? Haven't we made enough profit from them? Does he not care about starving children and how bad that makes the US look?" No, no, no!! We can't have people thinking along those lines, so let's bring in "frustration" over how Bibi doesn't want to cooperate with not killing so many civilians with all the arms Biden is providing... But the logic becomes a bit circular because it still mentions arms and dead people. There seems no way around that reality. Caitlin points this out clearly. Believe it.
I do not want to detail all the statements that support my comment. There are just too many.
Biden is a total hypocrite. But then, by association, so is his government.
The only ones that do not fit this bill, are the military industrialists. They know what they are there for. PROFIT and as they say, long may it continue.
One more. Almost forgot. Nothing hypocritical about the Jewish sadists. What they are doing now is what they have always planned to do. No argument there.
That was written at a time when he was instigating the proxy war in Ukraine and he subsequently rejected Putin peace plans and sabotaged ANY negotiations and rejected "diplomacy". This warmongering set the narrative and policy framework for the genocide in Gaza, which just so happens to serve as a diversion from the Ukraine catastrophically bad policy. It also threatens nuclear war with both China and Russia.
2) Another Biden early bird was his "pause" on issuing approvals for oil and gas drilling and coal mining on federal lands, see:
He soon revoked it and went on to triple fossil industry profits and increase US fossil production beyond Bush and even Obama's record production levels, making US #1 in world fossil production, see
Proxy War, risks of nuclear war, genocide, and climate ecocide. Them ain't small potatoes, but that's Biden's record. Fuck him and the democrats (and yes, Trump is a fascist).
To all my comrades, How long are we the people going to put up with an obscene, stupid hypocritical, mendacious, worthless ruling class whose only feelings are greed, delusion and hatred?
Oh it’s worse than that even. Biden and Blinken and Austin’s idea of diplomacy is to threaten the Russians by adding nukes to a plane that even THE PENTAGON says is not reliable:
There are few to none usa small L or big L liberals. Liberals do not support "nations" that have total histories of war crimes, rape & pillage, Holocausts, genocides, CsAH, ... . Calling biden a liberal is utter nonsense.
There are people I know who hate what is going on in Gaza yet they stick with backing Biden because they believe what he says. He is a man that has always been self serving. He apologizes for referencing the killer of the young nurse as an illegal alien, and he's all for open borders, but I had another video clip of him talking to a group years before his presidency where he was going to build the biggest wall ever and keep all those illegals out. He is and has always been self serving which means he stands for nothing but his own self interest. No doubt that is true of most, but Biden does have a record that proves it.
Fran, I just cut ties with a very old friend who refuses to talk about the genocide because she’s an ardent ByeDone supporter. ( She also believes the Putin wants to reinstate the Soviet Union). When I disputed that, she had the nerve to ask me where I got MY information from, lol.
Hi, Gypsy, I guess that's why they say don't talk religion and politics. Maybe you two will work it out. I agree with you of course, and don't buy what she's selling. In 2016 I didn't vote because I truly dislike Clinton, due to her love of war. Assange said she was sick in her need for power in an interview with John Pilger, and felt sorry for her. Not me. I didn't vote in 2016, not Trump either and lost friends as a result. they were so abusive and disgusting to me, I never spoke to them again. Odd how they call him autocratic and they refuse to let me vote, or not vote. Well, I'm with you and I hope Biden is through and it's absolute nonsense Putin want's to extend control over former the Soviet Union, sheer US propaganda. Who wants control? US!!!!!!!Tell her if she's worried tell her to look to home to try and change things since there is where the danger is,.
My feeling is that is something is devastating me to the point that I had considered suicide, I should be able to discuss it with a friend. Unfortunately, she is of the “blue no matter who” ilk.
But then, magically, an old friend reappeared into my life! She is far more of the mindset that I share. We used to be tighter than ticks but somehow grew apart. But when we spoke, it was like we’d never left off!
These communist have been manipulating language and usurping meanings for a very long time. Classical Liberals detested hierarchical government. The title 'Liberal'was hijacked to hide the communist agenda, then it became 'Progressive'. Today 'woke' describes those under the indoctrination . Point of Fact; the Original 'Federalists'wanted limited government under any Constitution. The 'Nationalists' wanted the central government to be all powerful. They usurped the Title 'Federalist', called the original 'Federalist' Anti federalists. If one reads the the so called Federalist papers written by the Nationalists you see the US today. If you read the Anti federalist papers written by the original Federalists you will see that Everything they warned about has come to pass. Lies, propaganda and force.
In fact the Jewish practice a form of communism within Israel. Communism is not just a totalitarian system. Karl Marx stated the whole purpose of Socialism is to arrive at Communism. They sound good but when put into practice evil is the result. Really no difference between the Corporatist Fascism of US present Regime. Smoke and mirrors covered in a cloud of Propaganda. Nationalism, patriotism. Mindlessly following orders.
I don't think Socialism is evil, or has evil results. there is a hundred years of propaganda about this, but zionism is not related to communism. look at all the for profit projects being planned for Gaza once it is ethnically cleansed.
pretzelattack : I don't think Socialism is evil, or has evil results. there is a hundred years of propaganda about this,
==============
That's right RE the 100 years of rank usa propaganda, which all the deeply evil war criminal prezes used as a ploy to dupe the HIGHLY GULLIBLE of which there are many many many.
I agree. The description of Socialism sounds good. Medical and other services supplied 'free'. However, every place that attempts to have a Socialist government falls quickly into some form of hierarchial tyranny because when select people are given the 'Power' to transform society into their vision of Utopia it is never as described. Essentially even what people call 'Free Market Capitalism' is anything but Free. It is Crony kleptocracy or worse, using the power of government to force competition out of the markets. Language is distorted, propaganda and traditions cover the reality for a while. In the end every hierarchial form will become tyrannic to one degree or another. It is the nature of humans for all history. It doesn't really matter what name is applied..Good Ideas do not require force.
they aren't supplied free, there just isn't a profit motive to drive up the costs. Bad ideas don't require an empire based on profit for some to intervene all over the planet to make them fail. Here is a recent anecdotal comparison of healthcare systems and the effects of privatization.
China has a fabulous socialist system that finds always high 80%s to mid 90%s satisfaction rates from citizens for their central government. usa - high 20s to mid 30s. A totally laughable system of a deeply evil always continuous war criminal, ... "nation".
It ain't the communists or true liberals who manipulate language, it is the scummy desantis. trumper types. Being woke should be the ideal for any decent human to attain because what human with a brain would not want to know about, acknowledge and rectify all the deeply evil things that MOSTLY White "christians" aka usians have done since the Founding Liars, Founding Holocausters, ... .
Evidently your definition of 'Woke' and mine have some differences. Yet I am well aware that most of what passes as US history is a lie, and the entire US Central government is beyond any saving or repair. Only a new fresh start with none of the present bureaucracy or employees is the answer. That includes a decentralization to state or perhaps as low as County level.
I have laid out what woke ACTUALLY means and that is the ideal that all humans should seek to attain, JS.
As I mentioed, isn't it the desantis types who are dead set against reality, what history has actually been? They want to keep the lies that being woke have exposed, brought to light.
Aren't the anti woke folks, is essence, the equivalent of Holocaust Deniers?
'woke' is, per M-W: 1
a
: aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)
Who would not want to be woke and why on Earth would they not want to be so? That a scum bucket like desantis is anti woke really tells all, does it not?
Personally I find much of what passes as 'social justice' ,and racial factors to be frauds on their face much as the Covid hoax, a psyop to deliver the biowar MRNA jab which is killing millions.The US is an Empire of lies and the fake traditions indoctrinated during the mandatory 'education' process only help the powers that should not be to divide and conquer. Thanks for commenting.
How can acknowledging and rectifying the usa's massive Holocausts, war crimes, Genocides, Palestine is a dandy example right in front of us, usa massive racism against oh so many different races thru out the usa's racist TOTAL history be "frauds"?
Are you of the belief that Covid doesn't exist, hasn't killed anyone, ... evidence would be nice. It would show that one who holds to these things has some measure of veracity.
Biden knows his Arab-American votes are dwindling. I am not sure if his sudden concern is a tactic in order to win votes in the U.S. America has never punished Israel for the atrocities they have committed in the last 75 years to Palestinians. I don't think they will start now.
I suspect Biden will be escorted off the world stage at the Dem convention, and presto, a new shiny rendition will appear, likely Newsome or Michelle. Who needs primaries? That's so 20th century!
Do a web search on the 1968 Chicago Riots. Watch the Netflix show "Chicago 7". Maybe you'll like Tom Cruise in "Born on the Fourth of July".
Also remember that Johnson decided in March to not seek the DNC nomination and that RFK was murdered. It was a very wild year. The stage is set for the same thing to happen this year.
Or watch this George Galloway interview with Max Blumenthal:
If they’re polite, they could call in the Coast Guard currently Derricking the Bridge off the Ship that, of course, accidentally hit it after a brief May Day call when the power went out onboard. Hmmm, either the Coast Guard to the rescue, or the Sky Hook gets called in by big guy in the Sky. I agree, but they’ll need a Stamp from Israel before anything like that could happen… Lone
As more and more details emerge from “behind the lines” in the genocidal attack by the sadistic Israel contingents, all seemingly enjoying their role in the deaths of thousands, it makes one question the reason for the continued support being posted by the Western, White, Anglo senior ministers of governments from Europe, the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
What is it about Israel that allows them the liberty to give support to this, the greatest crime against humanity, even more so than the WWII, (which was a Jewish funded war, not a genocidal act created by Zionist Jews.).
Looking at recent history, after the 1939-1945 war we saw an outpouring of support in the re-settlement of the Jewish people still living after Hitler’s holocaust. This allowed the UK to assist in the stealing of land in Palestine to make a new home for displaced Jews, they being the subject then of world sympathy. With that as the starting point but remembering that Jewish money has been involved in Hitler’s rise to power, was part of so many banking systems in so many countries, was used then to promote the holocaust, ad nauseam not only as a crime, but as the centre of a marketing program to extract sympathy and special privileges from all around the globe. This they did, particularly in the USA.
Monies given to this new state, even though it was stolen land, were used to invest, to divert attention from the inhumane treatment of the owners of the stolen land to commence to implement their long held objective of owning all the land from the Euphrates to the Nile, not accomplished and now, based on their evil genocidal activities, will never be likely to happen.
The world has now seen what being Jewish means, using and abusing all the past support given in good faith in decades past, using support funding to help kill off a whole race of Palestinians and allowing the weak laws in the USA, designed to control the expansion of other ethnic groups but encouraging Jews, now Zionists in the main to develop influential groups to like AIPAC to own a country through corrupting a government, bordering on or about 90% corrupted on this day, all there with Jewish financial help , the payment for which is total subservience to their cause. Not America’s cause, but Zionist causes and objectives.
Those weak laws, still in place, allowing for such groups , foreign owned and hardly made up of true Americans, once seen as Lobby groups, to now become government controllers, their antics known to the world through their support for assassinations, murder, blackmail and now genocide.
Until the Jewish residents in the USA can show that their interests and more importantly, their loyalties are with the USA, then this once fine country will remain the tool of Jewish investors, bankers, spies, criminal lobbyists , all owned and controlled by a foreign state, a corrupt state, an inhumane and totally self-centered state, a genocide state and without question, the most hated state. In history.

=============
War criminal usa which all the little war criminal western nations know the must follow or Gangster "nation" usa will crush them. But as bad, deeply evil, ... as the zionists' Palestine Holocaust is, it pales into insignificance compared to the American Holocaust, 100 million, some 35 times larger than the German Holocaust and the Black Holocaust at about 50 million.
Thank you for continuing to point out the obvious hypocrisy of Biden’s alleged ‘discomfort’ with the horrific and genocidal behavior of the Israeli state. The logic and the truth of your observations are irrefutable. Nutanyahoo is a murderous psychopath and Biden is his criminal, lying enabler. What a grotesque and shameful pairing of monsters.
Thank you for reading the bloviations of the critical portion of the U.S. Blobpire which is its ‘media’ so that, generally speaking, I don’t have to. However, on some occasions, it is necessary to include in your brilliant essays long quotations from said bloviations. This was one of those times, I guess. The effect upon me of just the quoted portions of the vile bullshit that is your essay’s subject tonight will probably be enough to keep me sleepless despite my normal nightly doses of various stuff that are enough that they can’t be safely supplemented.
How you are able to do this day after day after day is a miracle of your almost infinite capacity for empathy. The Palestinians going through what you describe are aided in their toleration of it by the fact that they have no choice. They deal with it because the alternative is death, which is what they try to avoid. You live amid the mad savagery voluntarily, but without the actual explosions, starvation and death that go with them actually present in your life. But your empathy makes that reality virtually present for you. Please take care of yourself as best you can, just as the Palestinians try to do.
The source of the frustration is "ungratefulness" - which is a huge diversion from the facts that Netanyahu has repeatedly humiliated Biden and rubbed his nose in it. The whole word sees this and no one in DC can, apparently.
So, to the narrative people, if "ungrateful" BB just said "Thanks Joe", we'd all be good to go?
Note also the passive framing of "The US FINDS itself" in a genocide. Biden just wandered one day in the Rose garden and the next thing you know BB started bombing babies, you see.
While there are everyday people who still pretend Biden isn't demented -- and even that crowd is small and shrinking -- almost no one at all really believes he's trying to put the brakes on anything. He's a visibly bitter and puerile old man under the brain fog, pissed off the world caught to his bribery scams before he could escape it for hell. He sees the world chortling at his malevolence-in-enfeeblement and surely feels like bombing people.
A friend on FB the other day was offended by Trump's making fun of Biden's "speech impediment" when it's clearly a problem of dementia at this stage. Of course Trump's a fascist asshole but that's not the point. So blinkered are most of my progressive friends, so advanced is their TDS, that they simply can't see the Dems and Genocide Joe for what they truly are. "Well at least they're not as bad as the alternative" is where their critical analysis ends. Not American here, but it saddens me how tribal people are as we observe this clown show.
Biden should send munitions to Gaza.......or, body bags......or, King James Bibles, or, comic books, or, ......anyone have any better ideas??................This is INSANE.
Life in general seems insane to me at the moment. There is a great deal of beauty and goodness, yes, but all this horror seems to mar the beauty, make a mockery of it. Some say you cannot have one without the other - that it is fundamental to life itself - but what of it? What matters it to those children already murdered in GAZA, and being murdered even now?? If their lives don't matter to the "universe" why should my life or anyone's life matter? Am I the only one with survivors guilt?
Some say you can not have beauty without horror.......Gee, that's some deep thinkers there.....like those who say: "It's meant to be". There is always both but that does not preclude looking into why or trying to change it or paying attention. I have what one might call guilt or just how sad to be able to prepare a healthy meal when I know the people in Gaza have almost nothing.
Fascists who hide their fascism behind vanilla 'feelgood' are not "liberals", any more than neo-liberals are liberals, or WW2 National Socialists are socialists.
There are very few actual conscious liberals out there, by which I don't mean the pitiful election results of parties called "Liberal".
Biden is an evil weasel! When he met with Netanyahu on Oct.10th he could have shut down the genocide and failed to act. Now the damage is done. It is horrendous and he still refuses to act...
“But Mr. Biden remains opposed to cutting off munitions or leveraging them to influence the fighting.”
As usual he is trying to cover up him his incompetence when he is incapable of practicing real leadership
The fact that he is still in the presidential race is a disgrace to America given the war crimes he has committed or condoned since coming into office.
Courting Gantz is more foolishness when they should be shutting down Biden, every time he opens his mouth the situation becomes worse.
Wow, this is an excellent analysis. It’s incredibly difficult to keep track of the twisty little turns of the media spins and come out the other side with one’s brains still in tact. Billy boy Clinton was a master at it—it took the Monica scandal to start exposing his duplicity. “It depends on what the definition of is is.” Right. But Bush the Shrub was the 1st to twist it all up in a “uniquely American” pile of shit and shove it down our throats. So while Liberals are maybe the most obnoxious of this class of gas lighters, let’s not ever pretend that they are alone in this double and triple speak. Keeping track of it and exposing it is a full time job, and Caitlin has done a masterful job of that here.
I think this must be one of your best articles, (and they're all good). This gets right to the point: your aim is as straight as an arrow, and you hit the bullseye.
That kind of double talk makes my blood boil. Biden is enabling genocide. If he didn't want to he'd stop shipping arms and money to Israel.
Orwell’s 1984 might have been a user manual for the Biden Administration, but Catch-22’s Milo Minderbinder was a 'do-it-yourself' instructor on how to navigate an insane world and profit from it.
We live in a bloody grotesque, a Twilight Zone episode on acid.
If there is ONE, just one positive aspect in all of this, it is that many people have awoken to these murderous elitist and corporate scum (making money from wars and deaths OF US PLEBS) ... and not only that but have seen how evil, brutal and grotesque Israel are in it's treatment of Palestinians (and all Countries) FINALLY !.
Unfortunately this is not stopping the genocide YET.
But who else will step in to take real action
and confront he Empire?? It’s a formidable move because the West is so fully corrupt and amoral but hope lies in BDE, endless
and angry protest, and actions through the UN General Assembly using Unite for Peace and needing 2/3 of majority to pass
effective actions including military decisions!! We can only hope and pray!!
You smear both The Twilight Sone, a great show! And you smear acid, which can provide some profound experiences that are nothing like genocide.
Nothing about smearing Orwell and Catch-22? Anyway, you offer an interesting perspective. Now, I can't help but wonder how genocide — if one were to be in the midst of it as a hologram — must look like on acid.
"Now, I can't help but wonder how genocide — if one were to be in the midst of it as a hologram — must look like on acid."
A really, really bad trip.
Our reality is far worse than any nightmarish acid trip. A kicker? We're creating that trip by believing those dead Ukrainian, Russian, Palestinian, and Israeli people are holograms themselves, and not humans made of blood and flesh, that's now rotting on the battlefields, mirroring the West's rotten soul.
I didn't write that you smeared Orwell, I sad you smeared Twilight zone and acid. Am I clear?
Jeez — 'Nothing about smearing Orwell and Catch-22?' — was a jocular question, wondering why the focus was solely on Twilight Zone and acid, and not also on Orwell and Catch-22.

Good thoughts though!!! But verbiage doesn’t go very far!!

Biden is the sitting President of The United States of Israel. And he has served his nation well, as have many of his predecessors.
I do not want to detail all the statements that support my comment. There are just too many.
Biden is a total hypocrite. But then, by association, so is his government.
The only ones that do not fit this bill, are the military industrialists. They know what they are there for. PROFIT and as they say, long may it continue.
One more. Almost forgot. Nothing hypocritical about the Jewish sadists. What they are doing now is what they have always planned to do. No argument there.
Perhaps let me offer 2 recent examples of Biden's gross hypocrisy, OK?
1) One of Biden's first policy announcements was a Statement that stressed his support for "diplomacy", issued in Feb. 4, 2021, see:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2021/02/04/remarks-by-president-biden-on-americas-place-in-the-world/
That was written at a time when he was instigating the proxy war in Ukraine and he subsequently rejected Putin peace plans and sabotaged ANY negotiations and rejected "diplomacy". This warmongering set the narrative and policy framework for the genocide in Gaza, which just so happens to serve as a diversion from the Ukraine catastrophically bad policy. It also threatens nuclear war with both China and Russia.
2) Another Biden early bird was his "pause" on issuing approvals for oil and gas drilling and coal mining on federal lands, see:
https://www.doi.gov/pressreleases/fact-sheet-president-biden-take-action-uphold-commitment-restore-balance-public-lands
He soon revoked it and went on to triple fossil industry profits and increase US fossil production beyond Bush and even Obama's record production levels, making US #1 in world fossil production, see
https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=61545
Proxy War, risks of nuclear war, genocide, and climate ecocide. Them ain't small potatoes, but that's Biden's record. Fuck him and the democrats (and yes, Trump is a fascist).
To all my comrades, How long are we the people going to put up with an obscene, stupid hypocritical, mendacious, worthless ruling class whose only feelings are greed, delusion and hatred?
Biden is a proud graduate of the Obama School of contradictory narrative and minoring in back to back LYING!!!
Oh it’s worse than that even. Biden and Blinken and Austin’s idea of diplomacy is to threaten the Russians by adding nukes to a plane that even THE PENTAGON says is not reliable:
https://news.antiwar.com/2024/03/10/f-35-cleared-to-carry-nuclear-weapons/
I agree with you, Bill
Not to mention voting for Clarence Thomas!
I said "recent" examples! And I kept it to just 2 - there are scores more. Virtually every statement he makes is the opposite of what he is doing.
In true Zionist form, as he has claimed to be on several occasion.
There are few to none usa small L or big L liberals. Liberals do not support "nations" that have total histories of war crimes, rape & pillage, Holocausts, genocides, CsAH, ... . Calling biden a liberal is utter nonsense.
They may be few in numbers, but they exist.

Ahhhh, that's a good thing. Happy for you!
Thank you Fran 😁
A-men on that. He's always been this way. The the best of the worse kind of politician.
The label "Liberal" is totally meaningless in the USA.
Liberals are really right-wing whacko conservatives who haven't confessed that they are right-wing whacko conservatives yet.
20 years ago, I really thought liberals actually stood up for peace and the people. That is one mistake I will never make again.

I don't think Socialism is evil, or has evil results. there is a hundred years of propaganda about this, but zionism is not related to communism. look at all the for profit projects being planned for Gaza once it is ethnically cleansed.

That's right RE the 100 years of rank usa propaganda, which all the deeply evil war criminal prezes used as a ploy to dupe the HIGHLY GULLIBLE of which there are many many many.
I agree. The description of Socialism sounds good. Medical and other services supplied 'free'. However, every place that attempts to have a Socialist government falls quickly into some form of hierarchial tyranny because when select people are given the 'Power' to transform society into their vision of Utopia it is never as described. Essentially even what people call 'Free Market Capitalism' is anything but Free. It is Crony kleptocracy or worse, using the power of government to force competition out of the markets. Language is distorted, propaganda and traditions cover the reality for a while. In the end every hierarchial form will become tyrannic to one degree or another. It is the nature of humans for all history. It doesn't really matter what name is applied..Good Ideas do not require force.
they aren't supplied free, there just isn't a profit motive to drive up the costs. Bad ideas don't require an empire based on profit for some to intervene all over the planet to make them fail. Here is a recent anecdotal comparison of healthcare systems and the effects of privatization.

China has a fabulous socialist system that finds always high 80%s to mid 90%s satisfaction rates from citizens for their central government. usa - high 20s to mid 30s. A totally laughable system of a deeply evil always continuous war criminal, ... "nation".
It ain't the communists or true liberals who manipulate language, it is the scummy desantis. trumper types. Being woke should be the ideal for any decent human to attain because what human with a brain would not want to know about, acknowledge and rectify all the deeply evil things that MOSTLY White "christians" aka usians have done since the Founding Liars, Founding Holocausters, ... .
Evidently your definition of 'Woke' and mine have some differences. Yet I am well aware that most of what passes as US history is a lie, and the entire US Central government is beyond any saving or repair. Only a new fresh start with none of the present bureaucracy or employees is the answer. That includes a decentralization to state or perhaps as low as County level.
I have laid out what woke ACTUALLY means and that is the ideal that all humans should seek to attain, JS.
As I mentioed, isn't it the desantis types who are dead set against reality, what history has actually been? They want to keep the lies that being woke have exposed, brought to light.
Aren't the anti woke folks, is essence, the equivalent of Holocaust Deniers?
'woke' is, per M-W: 1
a
: aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)
Who would not want to be woke and why on Earth would they not want to be so? That a scum bucket like desantis is anti woke really tells all, does it not?
Personally I find much of what passes as 'social justice' ,and racial factors to be frauds on their face much as the Covid hoax, a psyop to deliver the biowar MRNA jab which is killing millions.The US is an Empire of lies and the fake traditions indoctrinated during the mandatory 'education' process only help the powers that should not be to divide and conquer. Thanks for commenting.
How can acknowledging and rectifying the usa's massive Holocausts, war crimes, Genocides, Palestine is a dandy example right in front of us, usa massive racism against oh so many different races thru out the usa's racist TOTAL history be "frauds"?
Are you of the belief that Covid doesn't exist, hasn't killed anyone, ... evidence would be nice. It would show that one who holds to these things has some measure of veracity.
Biden knows his Arab-American votes are dwindling. I am not sure if his sudden concern is a tactic in order to win votes in the U.S. America has never punished Israel for the atrocities they have committed in the last 75 years to Palestinians. I don't think they will start now.
I suspect Biden will be escorted off the world stage at the Dem convention, and presto, a new shiny rendition will appear, likely Newsome or Michelle. Who needs primaries? That's so 20th century!
Remember the 1968 Chicago convention. The 2024 convention will be in Chicago.
AHA! Time to spread that around for inspiration.
What happened?
Do a web search on the 1968 Chicago Riots. Watch the Netflix show "Chicago 7". Maybe you'll like Tom Cruise in "Born on the Fourth of July".
Also remember that Johnson decided in March to not seek the DNC nomination and that RFK was murdered. It was a very wild year. The stage is set for the same thing to happen this year.
Or watch this George Galloway interview with Max Blumenthal:
INTERVIEW: The whole world’s watching. Like in’68
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehGTBtORpRI
Thanks got it all.
Tom Cruise..arghhh
Seen the Galloway interview.
I suspect if anyone it would be Hillary Clinton.
Makes sense. She never got over 2016.
We'll certainly see what happens. But if I were a betting man...
Oh no!
If they’re polite, they could call in the Coast Guard currently Derricking the Bridge off the Ship that, of course, accidentally hit it after a brief May Day call when the power went out onboard. Hmmm, either the Coast Guard to the rescue, or the Sky Hook gets called in by big guy in the Sky. I agree, but they’ll need a Stamp from Israel before anything like that could happen… Lone
The term is "moral figleaf". Biden is trying to have it both ways, while fooling nobody as to which side he really is on.
If the upcoming election seems to be subject to multiple crises to negatively
affect it, do not be of distress. The fix is already in!!!!
As more and more details emerge from “behind the lines” in the genocidal attack by the sadistic Israel contingents, all seemingly enjoying their role in the deaths of thousands, it makes one question the reason for the continued support being posted by the Western, White, Anglo senior ministers of governments from Europe, the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
What is it about Israel that allows them the liberty to give support to this, the greatest crime against humanity, even more so than the WWII, (which was a Jewish funded war, not a genocidal act created by Zionist Jews.).
Looking at recent history, after the 1939-1945 war we saw an outpouring of support in the re-settlement of the Jewish people still living after Hitler’s holocaust. This allowed the UK to assist in the stealing of land in Palestine to make a new home for displaced Jews, they being the subject then of world sympathy. With that as the starting point but remembering that Jewish money has been involved in Hitler’s rise to power, was part of so many banking systems in so many countries, was used then to promote the holocaust, ad nauseam not only as a crime, but as the centre of a marketing program to extract sympathy and special privileges from all around the globe. This they did, particularly in the USA.
Monies given to this new state, even though it was stolen land, were used to invest, to divert attention from the inhumane treatment of the owners of the stolen land to commence to implement their long held objective of owning all the land from the Euphrates to the Nile, not accomplished and now, based on their evil genocidal activities, will never be likely to happen.
The world has now seen what being Jewish means, using and abusing all the past support given in good faith in decades past, using support funding to help kill off a whole race of Palestinians and allowing the weak laws in the USA, designed to control the expansion of other ethnic groups but encouraging Jews, now Zionists in the main to develop influential groups to like AIPAC to own a country through corrupting a government, bordering on or about 90% corrupted on this day, all there with Jewish financial help , the payment for which is total subservience to their cause. Not America’s cause, but Zionist causes and objectives.
Those weak laws, still in place, allowing for such groups , foreign owned and hardly made up of true Americans, once seen as Lobby groups, to now become government controllers, their antics known to the world through their support for assassinations, murder, blackmail and now genocide.
Until the Jewish residents in the USA can show that their interests and more importantly, their loyalties are with the USA, then this once fine country will remain the tool of Jewish investors, bankers, spies, criminal lobbyists , all owned and controlled by a foreign state, a corrupt state, an inhumane and totally self-centered state, a genocide state and without question, the most hated state. In history.

War criminal usa which all the little war criminal western nations know the must follow or Gangster "nation" usa will crush them. But as bad, deeply evil, ... as the zionists' Palestine Holocaust is, it pales into insignificance compared to the American Holocaust, 100 million, some 35 times larger than the German Holocaust and the Black Holocaust at about 50 million.
A Zionist takeover of a democracy??? Not
a fantasy to be sure

Thank you for continuing to point out the obvious hypocrisy of Biden’s alleged ‘discomfort’ with the horrific and genocidal behavior of the Israeli state. The logic and the truth of your observations are irrefutable. Nutanyahoo is a murderous psychopath and Biden is his criminal, lying enabler. What a grotesque and shameful pairing of monsters.
Thank you for reading the bloviations of the critical portion of the U.S. Blobpire which is its ‘media’ so that, generally speaking, I don’t have to. However, on some occasions, it is necessary to include in your brilliant essays long quotations from said bloviations. This was one of those times, I guess. The effect upon me of just the quoted portions of the vile bullshit that is your essay’s subject tonight will probably be enough to keep me sleepless despite my normal nightly doses of various stuff that are enough that they can’t be safely supplemented.
How you are able to do this day after day after day is a miracle of your almost infinite capacity for empathy. The Palestinians going through what you describe are aided in their toleration of it by the fact that they have no choice. They deal with it because the alternative is death, which is what they try to avoid. You live amid the mad savagery voluntarily, but without the actual explosions, starvation and death that go with them actually present in your life. But your empathy makes that reality virtually present for you. Please take care of yourself as best you can, just as the Palestinians try to do.
The source of the frustration is "ungratefulness" - which is a huge diversion from the facts that Netanyahu has repeatedly humiliated Biden and rubbed his nose in it. The whole word sees this and no one in DC can, apparently.
So, to the narrative people, if "ungrateful" BB just said "Thanks Joe", we'd all be good to go?
Note also the passive framing of "The US FINDS itself" in a genocide. Biden just wandered one day in the Rose garden and the next thing you know BB started bombing babies, you see.
While there are everyday people who still pretend Biden isn't demented -- and even that crowd is small and shrinking -- almost no one at all really believes he's trying to put the brakes on anything. He's a visibly bitter and puerile old man under the brain fog, pissed off the world caught to his bribery scams before he could escape it for hell. He sees the world chortling at his malevolence-in-enfeeblement and surely feels like bombing people.
A friend on FB the other day was offended by Trump's making fun of Biden's "speech impediment" when it's clearly a problem of dementia at this stage. Of course Trump's a fascist asshole but that's not the point. So blinkered are most of my progressive friends, so advanced is their TDS, that they simply can't see the Dems and Genocide Joe for what they truly are. "Well at least they're not as bad as the alternative" is where their critical analysis ends. Not American here, but it saddens me how tribal people are as we observe this clown show.
Bombs away, but we're ok!
Yeah...for now. Our day is coming.
Biden should send munitions to Gaza.......or, body bags......or, King James Bibles, or, comic books, or, ......anyone have any better ideas??................This is INSANE.
Life in general seems insane to me at the moment. There is a great deal of beauty and goodness, yes, but all this horror seems to mar the beauty, make a mockery of it. Some say you cannot have one without the other - that it is fundamental to life itself - but what of it? What matters it to those children already murdered in GAZA, and being murdered even now?? If their lives don't matter to the "universe" why should my life or anyone's life matter? Am I the only one with survivors guilt?
Some say you can not have beauty without horror.......Gee, that's some deep thinkers there.....like those who say: "It's meant to be". There is always both but that does not preclude looking into why or trying to change it or paying attention. I have what one might call guilt or just how sad to be able to prepare a healthy meal when I know the people in Gaza have almost nothing.
I feel you, it's just beyond horrible, and there's nothing we ordinary folks can do!

Fascists who hide their fascism behind vanilla 'feelgood' are not "liberals", any more than neo-liberals are liberals, or WW2 National Socialists are socialists.
There are very few actual conscious liberals out there, by which I don't mean the pitiful election results of parties called "Liberal".
Biden is an evil weasel! When he met with Netanyahu on Oct.10th he could have shut down the genocide and failed to act. Now the damage is done. It is horrendous and he still refuses to act...
“But Mr. Biden remains opposed to cutting off munitions or leveraging them to influence the fighting.”
As usual he is trying to cover up him his incompetence when he is incapable of practicing real leadership
The fact that he is still in the presidential race is a disgrace to America given the war crimes he has committed or condoned since coming into office.
Courting Gantz is more foolishness when they should be shutting down Biden, every time he opens his mouth the situation becomes worse.
Biden doesn't need to meet Netanyahu to stop the genocide. He could do that with a single phone call.
Exactly, so why did he fly all the way to Israel?..... to give BiBi a hug and a pat on the head?... to show solidarity?
Because whatever Biden says, we all know which side he is really on.
Biden probably told BB that the US kicked some ass after 9/11 and he had a green light to do the same.
Wow, this is an excellent analysis. It’s incredibly difficult to keep track of the twisty little turns of the media spins and come out the other side with one’s brains still in tact. Billy boy Clinton was a master at it—it took the Monica scandal to start exposing his duplicity. “It depends on what the definition of is is.” Right. But Bush the Shrub was the 1st to twist it all up in a “uniquely American” pile of shit and shove it down our throats. So while Liberals are maybe the most obnoxious of this class of gas lighters, let’s not ever pretend that they are alone in this double and triple speak. Keeping track of it and exposing it is a full time job, and Caitlin has done a masterful job of that here.
I saw through Bill Clinton from the beginning. Greasy used car salesman who would say anything you can think of to get you to buy that Yugo.
