My favorite thing about the Gaza flotilla was seeing a video of Gazan fisherman bring in a catch because the Zios were distracted by the last vessel. It filled me with a kind of hope that at least some children and new mothers might get some protein.
same, it was a beautiful thing to see the fisherman able to collect fish and provide desperately needed protein to their families and countrymen/women. I am saddened that the flotilla members were wrongfully captured, but glad that at least their sacrifice allowed for a victory in another sense
The activities in the USA do seem to be heading for a totally dictatorial climate. I wonder about all the people I have known over time, all ages, and how they see the future of their country.
In the 70's,,80's and 90's as technology burst its banks, creating as it did excellent applications to help manage organisations and improve the skill levels of companies around the globe, the USA was the centre of that expansion. One was so impressed with what was happening, EVERYWHERE, the new modern approach that was able to increase productivity, able to make small organisations compete in a world market, enabled expansion through technical knowhow. Available to all. It was challenging.
It was a time also of expansion, a time where a small organisation was able to hold its own against large well established corporations. All it needed was an understanding and use of technology. The people that were around in those days were skilful, with good values, amenable to new ideas and able to generate more skillsets each year.
I met hundreds. They were real Americans with good values. The America I knew well.
It was exciting.
Where are they now? What do they feel about a president closing down the country, using troops to patrol cities of his choosing, to show hostility to anyone with a single thought contrary to his dictates. Is it fair to liken today's US environment to Germany in the 1930's?
Would I know those people today? Would I be allowed to question what is happening in their country without being resented by picking a subject which, as an outsider, was troubling me. Would they even want to talk to me any more. Is that the climate?
I miss them all. Communications these days, down to a trickle.
There's the pity resulting from a man like Trump. He is dividing the country, making it into something it has never been and forcing the people to forget all the values they had in the past and trying some way to conform to policies and priorities that are by any measure, unnatural. Diminishing friendships because of the restrictions on free speech, along those lines. A divided line, right down the middle of the USA.
Can any country go through what the USA is experiencing today and remain respected and friendly to others .....or is this the first step on the road to a Pariah state.
We have one of those already. Israel. We do not need another. Is it there already?

Since when has the TRUTH been considered offensive? Apparently since forever when the 'ruling class'/power-elite/TPTB are concerned. As you correctly articulate in this very article itself - the 'ruling class' has been CONTROLLING NARRATIVES since times immemorial (even before organized religions came about - think of how the pharaohs of Egypt controlled the masses with their narratives).
Thank you Caitlin (and Tim)! ❤️🙏
BTW, Caitlin - this is a question for you -> Are there no other practical alternatives to Amazon for selling the print-version of the magazine? (I've boycotted Amazon for 5+ years now and refuse to buy anything from them).
Oh, I wish I could see your original cover and title! Either way, glad you got this one out to the world... Ready to be used to rally the "troops" of the 99%. They can't arrest us all! SHUT IT DOWN!!
True they won't be able to arrest all of us, that would be silly they have lots of other methods like reducing our life expectancy with mandated experimental jabs for a non existing pandemic.
Then there's the dreaded digital agenda looming on the horizon, trying to sneak in under the radar at some opportunistic moment when no one is paying much attention
Here in Australala, digital is just one click away from becoming a reality, much of it is already in place, from the moment that it does become a reality they won't need to arrest us all they will be able to restrict almost* every aspect of our lives and our movements via digital.
Unless we all ride our bicycles on our way to peaceful protest, they might ban protest marches but who said anything about protest rides?
I know they cant arrest us all, but the bottom line is they can always create manufacture' False Flag operation to blame on us ,and brand us as Hamas/Iran operatives so they can kill a lot of us.
I will also say again don't look for any Peace in the mid east or relief for the Palestinians from their Genocide no matter what Trump and the US or Israel says ,because if there is any stop in Israel's Bombing it will only be temporary, until America can replenish the Zionist Stock of Arms killing Machines and munition. I have ZERO trust in these folk after watching them since the 1970's up to now, sadly it took the World 2 plus years while watching a Genocide to say its a Genocide ,and so I wonder ,if and when Israel gets to wipe out the Palestinians with Americas help, How long would it take the International community them to say to the World that the Palestinians have been wiped out by the Zionist? Maybe when they start Wiping out the Lebanese and Syrians to do the same to them like they did the Palestinians?
They have the appearance of domination, but the reality is they always need to appear dominant, or else they start getting regularly called out on their evil and lies. Call them out.
The power of the people is precisely why it is essential,not to hurt the cause, to accept all into our unity who however late, have turned against the genocide and want to help liberate Palestine. Attacking those working to stop US shipment of arms is doing the work of the enemy. We must unite....or be defeated.

They don't need to arrest us all, any more than it was necessary to arrest everyone in the Soviet Union, Nazi germany, etc..

Humiliate their lies, and castigate their moral failures (non-violently).
