The mental gymnastics you'd have to do throughout your life to convince yourself its okay to ignore these protesters are unfathomable, though that's what it takes to be in the position he's in.

It’s not mental gymnastics.

You are seeing there the non-reactive, inhuman behavior of brainwashed tools. People who you think are political figures, but in fact they are three letter agency assets who have been through a thorough brainwashing: indoctrination training aka “INDOC”.

By the time they are that brainwashed, in their view not only is the entire world (except vassals) the “adversary” that must be subjugated, but so too are those US citizens at the congressional hearing who are voicing their dissent against genocide”. ALL of those people will have had their ID taken before they went in, had faces recorded - and are now under government surveillance…..for having the temerity to ask their government to have have decently in their name!

But it’s Xi and China that are the “dictatorship” ? Yes - because that is what gets programmed into their minds at indoctrination training.

Such is the upside down world of indoctrinated tools.

Some kind of indoctrination that’s for sure! They are not really in control of themselves! They are lifeless extremely melancholy and calculated!

A lot of them have dead eyes there soulless! They’re programmed like most of the serfs in this world! Programmed to buy what ever the programmed puppets sell

Keep the faith brother it is only getting worse!

I think it starts with military brainwashing, then the most scrubbed who can lie with skill and 0 conscience, they are promoted to positions of power such as him & so many others.

The military & the alphabet soup of federal agencies are definitely the breeding grounds for these types of meat bags with no soul

I agree with you that they are carefully and methodically brainwashed. The root ideology that facilitates this brainwashing is the morally bankrupt ideology stated below:

It's the Social Darwinism, stupid!

Blinken is gone in a blink, he doesn't matter. All the so called humans supporting it, however... this is the twilight for the species, when enemies of humanity declare themselves humanity's most courageous compassionate ones.

I don't know about mental gymnastics. What Mr. Blinken and others like him accept and promote is Realpolitik, or "Winning isn't everything. It's the only thing." It seems that many people accept this theory, while they do not seem to evidence any commitment to mental gymnastics of any kind beyond what they get from television, movies, academia, government declarations and policies, and so on -- pretty mushy stiff. As you say, "That's what is takes to be in the position he's in," as a servant of the imperium of Capital.

Ok, ok, ok.

So, what have happened in a week, apart from dying Palestinians, and some IDFs, not much, if anything at all, for a full month, not much is done, apart from the usual speeches, and I will skip the resource issue, etc, witch is the reason for this, is for positioning one selfs ( the traitor nations) in the coming change of axis from the Atlantics to the Asian Mainland, and the connection witch is in the Arab world, and as before, the same rotten scums have admitted their corruption by submitting them selfs to the Synagoge of Satan, the Empire of lies and chaos, death and destruction, to take control over our world and ties their hand behind their own backs and will not move an inch, because they are just whores for Babylon.

I will just point out to the Arab world, think about it, the plans they have are not that bad, but the truth is, few will benefit, while you will have little or nothing to gain from it, unless you have a nation and a Gov whom puts its people first.

The future isnt all just negative, it is a potential witch just now is materializing it self in Africa, to South A, etc, and in the Arab world, just as in the European ones, we are ruled by the Scums of this earth, UssA corps owns our Gov. and central bankers are ruining everything they have touchede the last century to an certain point where they are on the verge of imploding.

For the Arab people, the present time is a gift from Heaven.

Just as I told the Russians years ago, that the econ. war against them and the sanction regimes, was a gift from God, it forces a nation to think and act to preserve its own resources and wealth.

Just this was the sole reason for destroying Libya as one ex.

DO YOU understand.

Hang them all and hang em high.

The war, so far, I am not that worried regarding Hamas, etc, to the Yemens, witch have my deepest respect after paying attention to them for years and learned then the raw hypocrisy witch soaks the western world. Take the Piss loving Norway whom not only made a killing thru exporting systems and so on to the Saudi-barbarians war on Yemen, but is right now also making a killing in selling again weapon systems, AMO, etc to the terror state ISISrael, while our MSM is making a number of an hole on the ground.

In a War zone where two of the largest armys in the world is surrounding a tiny land strip, with air force, etc to gun ships, bombs everything with impunity, because the west is their hooligans and wants more blood, is somehow bizarrely occupied by the fact that Hamas have tunnels, what the f.... or should they, the Hamas go out with strobo-lights attached to their pink unicorn uniforms to, so they are able to be spotted from the International space station without scope, yeah, naughty, naughty Palestinians.

Ugh..... yeah, we are soaked with Military experts, etc, but the obsession of it is remarkable, but when you consider the area, Gaza, it is the only way to have an fighting chanse against the "most moral army" in the world, and so far, so good.

I wounder if the Hannibal Doctrine is used inside Gaza as we speak, the numbers of killed IDFs must be staggering high.

Last, never forget this, I know some will be hurt, but the truth is, most Jews in ISISrael have always been behind the Moving of the Lawn,, most of the time, and I dont bother to link to it, its everywhere anyway. Its a become a verbal dance, circling around and not touching their evil agenda, witch have always been about ethnic cleansing and they dont even hide that anymore, the problem is, that our MSM dont tuch that issue much, but its always been that, wipe the Palestinians out.

I hope people understand how much it is on stake this time, from humanism to resources, all wars are rackets, also this one, and the victim of this true Holocaust is the Palestinians.

Free Palestina, from the river to the sea.

Babylon is faling.

Where's the blood on Blinken's hands that should be shown in the painting?

Kojo's avatar

I think it’s appropriate the way it has been depicted. You’ve got honest citizens protesting about what is being done in their name. They understand decency , guilt and shame. They actually believe that their government representatives such as Blinken share these human traits of decency, guilt and shame

Their representatives however…are ghoulish programmed robots who DONT know defency, guilt nor shame. As far as they are concerned, the Palestinian civilians are “adversaries” or even animals and therefore no crime against humanity has been committed.

I mean we are talking government officials that every single day of the year send drones to kill people and in that process on average their own officlal data sas they kill NINE innocent bystanders per target.

Or as Blinken’s brother in arms Obama once stated in his official public pronouncements as president of the nation that commit crimes against humanity: “We tortured a few folks - no big deal.”

Blinken has no blood on his hands, nor in his veins either. Ghoul.

If believing they’re animals excuses their mass murder, then perhaps the human species would be wise to adopt a biocentric worldview.

That too. But it’s not an excuse. It’s a mindset you would do well to understand. These people have no decency, no guilt, no shame. They deliberately are NOT signatories of the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice. So moral arguments will not impact their actions.

To think that killing civilians in Gaza is an isolated incident or an outlier, is naive.

And looking for andysigns of shame here is utterly futile. We called mafia bosses and gang leaders sociopaths - but those ones kill LESS than these government “leaders”. That’s how degraded this supposed democracy is.

The US does not make international law by the way. They are party to it, not the judge or the jury.

The Biden regime can make pronouncements about «rights» as long as they like, but the obligations of international law and the Geneva Convention are actually stated already and not up to them to decide on.

Particularly as the regime is check full of zionists with allegiance to Israel who see no evil when said evils is committed by Israel, using weapons and money that they themselves sent over there! From white house to state department, national security council, dept of defense, every time you hear from the US government on this issue, its inevitably yet another zionist disguised as a US govt official, who is pronouncing that obvious genocidal actions by Israel are OK - and then sending them more money and weapons to do it!

So the entre Biden regime should still be changed by the international criminal courts, and warrants should be sent out of them.

Caitlin - Your portraits are expressive and strong. This time I see you’ve given a gravitas to Blinken that I don’t see him possessing. Perhaps, had you painted his eyes closed while blood from the hands behind him slowly slithered down his countenance, he’d shrink into his proper size - metaphorically seeing. Still. That said. Please …keep painting and sharing your work with us. They always move me!

Very nice picture! And to me it is an illustration to stuff about the Israeli war on Gaza that I have listened to on radio today. I have a university degree in History, and much of my studies of History has been the Interwar period 1919-1940. In that time the Great Powers GB, France, Germany and USA did not manage to stop the steadily growing controversies among themselves, but let it grow and grow because they were all occupied with isolating and bringing down the Soviet Union, which then was not much larger than Russia today. They ended up creating WW2 with it's holocausts and enourmous destruction and killings. Today USA and it's Western allies are on the same road. They have already defined their main enemies Russia/China and are not able to stop the Israeli killings in Gaza and on the West Bank, or their enourmous weapon sales of Ukraine and the destruction of Ukraine. They define the victories of Israel and Ukraine as their last chance for Democracy (the Western bullshit one governed by billionaires to supress their peoples). Blinken and his lot are heading toward WW3 faster and faster.
