I was 6 years old when my older brother went to Vietnam in 1966. My family prayed and sent tapes to him and letters and held vigil around the dinner table. I accepted that.

Until he returned, and I witnessed the frightened, scarred and inexplicable shell of my brother that returned from that war. Sleeps with a knife under his pillow to this day.

From then on, I never cheered or supported any war anywhere.

Fuck these people to hell.

'Israel' & its genocidal rampage has exposed to the world what many already knew:

The USA is not 'more civilized' than the rest of the world, but rather is more barbaric & inhumane than said 'third world' countries. The Empire of Lies can no longer pull the wool over our eyes.

And the Belgian civilian aid agency is, in turn, bombed with impunity by holy Israel for daring refusal to cooperate with cutting off funds to UNRWA. You don't easily get away with resisting the dictates of Massa Empire. Meanwhile, the NY Times online features Butcher Biden hugging every Black person in sight in SC, as if that's the important story. And Margaret Kimberley undoubtedly prepares to lash out at #1 Black Misleader, Jim Clyburn as he cheeks-to-cheek with his own personal Massa Joe because screw the killing, the Times will tell all the country's shitlibs what's really important. Every morning, another basketful of reasons for my breakfast to burn holes in my stomach lining. You suck, America.

And yet most people carry on as though there is nothing to see. To me it’s not the tyranny that is so shocking ; our country has a history ..

it’s the lack of revolt.

Don’t fucking vote !

Thanks for writing every day, it must be immensely difficult, but it is immensely appreciated. While I try to post your article on FB, it always seems to disappear before it even appears.

This is Paranoid Derangement Syndrome: The Pentagon keeps perceiving threats where they do not exist, attacks mindlessly, and confirms its own derangement. But Derangement Syndromes of many types are plaguing the world today. What is driving humanity crazy? Radiation? Aluminum aerosols? Glyphosate? Microplastics? Dwindling resources? All this and more? It is a phenomenon that needs to be understood.

"You might think 16 deaths as payback for three Americans killed by Iraqi militants would be more than enough, but you would be wrong.

There is no justification for any deaths from US hands. All US military bases the world over should be closed; the troops should be brought home and placed on the southern border.

Did Biden really manipulate the Elmo stuff on us? If “yes” - absolutemente surreal, sick and patronizing. Ludicrous. Embarrassing. Insulting. How stupid and thick he must assume we are.

US war machine keeps pushing and pushing the envelope toward regional war shortly followed by worldwide conflagration.

Thanks for this. I have spoken to some friends recently who sort of 'support Israel'. I have noticed that one of the reasons that people support Israel, or rather, don't condemn Israel's actions, is not listed here. The people I am talking about are highly educated, highly intelligent, and in a way, that's the problem. They've been brought up to believe that everything is 'complicated' and that things cannot be understood in simple moral terms. They seem to believe that only people who have immersed themselves in the political complexities of the issue have the authority to comment about it. As they do not count themselves in that number, they outsource their understanding to 'experts', in particular, outlets like the New York Times and the Economist magazine. Moreover, these people have been conditioned to think that simple moral judgements are a sign of immaturity, since the world is obviously shades of grey, not simple black and white. The fact that these people are able to denounce Putin's latest aggression, or decide that Trump is a 'lunatic' does not seem to them to contradict this position: the experts have weighed up the evidence and concluded that indeed, these people are bad and must be condemned, but that the jury is still out on issues like Israel/Palestine.

I don't know what to do any more.....I have 2 friends I can talk to about this evil others don't want to know or they are frightened of what might be said.

My head tells me what is going on and yet the Rhone keeps sparkling/beautiful weather and many people out. Meanwhile I zombie walk with my dog and I want to cry for all the innocent lives wasted.

Whoever you are Mr. Biden DO something to stop this insanity. You are a disgrace.

While it’s true that the empire has never been more exposed, what’s more disturbing is never before have the masses been so brainwashed and willing to accept obvious lies. So empire is not in worse position on net.

And this isnt new. You’d have thought that the exposure a decade ago that they were spying on the entire planet, and threading all 7 billion people as suspects merely for the fact of existing, would be enough to wake people up. But it wasn’t.

People are more stupid than you think. Ask Snowden who made almost the ultimate sacrifice to awaken people and expose the empire. I’d imagine he now thinks he wasted his life for fools who didnt value the sacrifice or the revelations.
