I understand. My next door neighbor threatened legal action over a boundary dispute. After I torched his house, broke his legs, and removed his son's teeth with an ice pick, all the other neighbors understood completely.
Chang, Thanks for sharing this. I needed a good laugh at the expense of the empire. There are so few chances to laugh these days.
It strikes me how the US CIA and the US DOD are funding both sides of most of these conflicts. As was stated, one week "Taliban Bad", the next week "Taliban Good", perceptions and positions that only a psychopath could embrace. It is so ridiculous, yet entire societies fall for this line of BS. The CIA has been meddling around the world (not to mention inside US society at large) since the incestuous conception of the agency. The only things that is consistent with the CIA are the utter incompetence of their efforts and the absolute evil intentions with which the agency operates.
I was a hippy. Going though riots in high school when they were integrated and the white kids had to go to school with niggers. The sense of hundreds of years of the outright murdering someone for the color of their skin. But a million kids went to Wooodstock. Millions of kids around the planet stood up in the face of the implacable crime syndicates that murdered peace makers. The war came home. We united., I meant the brotherhood and my sisters are still my equals and we meant it then and need it now. Everyone in the world with a cel phone sees the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Seeing our generation wasted on killing fields. Living through the cuban missile crisis. Those peace makers were murdered. We are all Palestine. I know this gov. would love to draw down on us.
The problem with the "anything can happen" idea is that most of the "anythings" these days seem to be killing, starvation, ethnic cleansing etc. and it is the non elite who suffer. I look forward to an "anything" that is the collapse of the Empire. Or the Empire actually becoming a force for good. That cares about people. That cares about the earth.
I'd like to note a hopeful sign. To wit, the “Crucial Communism Teaching Act” mentioned in the article above.
In order to teach anything about something, you have to identify and describe the object to be taught something about. In the case of something which isn't already well-known, this is something like advertising. If you want to try to teach young people about drugs, for instance, you have to identify and describe the drugs, including their effects, which of course for many people in the prospective audiences, are interesting and sometimes highly desirable. Hence the hilarity of films like _Reefer_Madness_ and the complete failure of the War on Drugs (except as a way of imprisoning millions of innocent, harmless people, and its other benefits for employment of police, prison guards, prison construction, judges, lawyers, cop show filmmakers, and the other things we like). And, of course, effective (if expensive) advertising for the drug business. In these, the War on Drugs was tremendously successful.
Communism should prove to be another similar case. A very large number of people, while they may have heard of communism, have little or no idea of what it actually is or was, or why people were attracted to it. That can be fixed. Communism will appeal to a great variety of people, some of whom will take it seriously and may become devoted activists or theorists. Others will see it as a form tribalism, of entertainment, or of possibly sadistic exercises. Others yet will see it as something to be _against_, a form of secular Satanism. To properly propagandize against communism, it will be necessary to lie about it, which on reflection and reversal, as the lies are exposed, will actually work in its favor. It's an engaging prospect, and with any luck, we may see large numbers of communist agitators thronging the streets in pursuit of lowly racists, bigots, and capitalists. Perhaps even a Red Scare! There is hope.
nah. it will work as intended or, as you describe it, relegate communism to some id-politics entertainment trend. there's nothing americans won't fake, they're christians after all.
I would expect the entertainment phase to follow the original phase. In fact, I recall reading several years ago that some enterprising Balt was building a Communism theme park, somewhere out east where the population, or at least their grandparents, have shall we say a more intimate experience of the material and emotional involvement with sending it up than is usual with most Americans. It would be similar in ostensible function to the Christian Hell theme park you have probably heard about, corresponding exactly to the old-time Soviet quasi-religious mode of ideological worship and thus an irresistible target.
Power selects strongly for sociopathy. Even if you put saints in charge, the power they have would draw sociopaths and psychopaths the way catnip draws cats.
It is sad though when sometimes the only good thing you can see is that you are still on top of the daisies. It is when you realize that there is more to life than life that you begin to feel the burning anger in yourself. This anger must be kept in check. We are in a fight for our very existence and the first thing you learn about fighting is that if you let your anger get in the way you will lose the fight. You are entirely right. Focus on the little things that are going right. It is the only way o success.
Thank you Caitlin! Too many wonderful points and observations to comment on all, but here are my favorites from today:
(1) “terrorist organization” is a completely arbitrary designation which is used as a tool of western narrative control to justify war and militarism. In effect it just means “disobedient population who need bombs dropped on them”.
(2) "I personally do not believe western interventionism in the middle east leads to positive results and peace, because I am not a newborn baby with a soft squishy head who joined the earth’s population yesterday evening."
(3) "If your worldview doesn’t acknowledge that violence isn’t limited to the physical act of shooting someone, and that force isn’t limited to the physical act of locking someone in a prison cell, then you’re not going to see the violence and force in the way the capitalist class leverages inequality, human need, and the law to force the masses to live their lives in ways that make them miserable and unhealthy."
Always appreciate your insight, honesty, and critical thinking in dismantling false narratives and informing the rest of us. Thank you again!
The West can say this for certain from 1492 onward. If we don't have something or you're running out of space in your country, just move on over to a new continent and grab it from the indigenous people. Win!
"Terrorist organization” is a completely arbitrary designation which is used as a tool of western narrative control to justify war and militarism. In effect it just means “disobedient population who need bombs dropped on them."
Exactly. Would you expect anything less from the Imperialist West?
"The great unpatterning is upon us. It’s a hell of a time to be alive."
It is. As the Chinese supposedly say, "May you live in interesting times." Interesting indeed.
Interesting times are, well, interesting. I would prefer that they were interesting in more ways that benefited non rich, non elite people. I am tired of watching the elite control what is interesting.
Dang, I just called 1-800-REWARDS but a recording came on saying they weren’t accepting calls now and to call back later. Hey, everyone needs a day off, right? Even when you are waging a tireless campaign perusing dangerous terrorists. Maybe you should call and if you get the reward slice a little off for me as a finders fee! Fair enough? ... "WHAT COULD GO WRONG? Look Who The CIA Helped Put In Charge Of Syria!" ... The CIA must not have gotten the memo... https://mark192.substack.com/p/what-could-go-wrong-look-who-the
Too late. I guess you haven’t heard but Al-jawlani went to charm school and took a PR course and mended his ways. He doesn’t want to cut anyone’s head off anymore, he just wants everyone to like him and help him. Sadly, before he and BiBi could even get together for lunch BiBi started bombing Damascus, all military equipment, bases and now he’s sending in troops (only temporarily of course until Al-Quada gets settled in) so their friendship may be off to a rocky start.
Don't be fooled by the media hype. The West and its Neoliberal "free" marketeers love the Islamists. Over there, they keep the rest of the population down, and over here they keep the population scared of immigrants and terror attacks.
"That’s right kids, the US government believes capitalism is so self-evidently awesome that it needs to pass laws to indoctrinate children into supporting it. They oppose authoritarianism so much that they’ll create entire reeducation programs to train your mind to embrace the freedom of the western empire."
I am reminded of one of my sons coming home from high school in the US to tell me with great amusement that the teacher said that sure, nobody was poor in Denmark but the terrible thing was that nobody could get rich, either. As my son quipped, that might come as a surprise to the family who own the Lego Group.
Under the Munroe Doctrine of 1823 the US asserted its rule over North and South America. It also stipulated the USA was not to interfere in European affairs. Now Europe is in economic ruins thanks to the good old USA. Its hired terrorists ( the same Al Qaeda that attacked NYC on 9/11) are taking over the Middle East and WW lll is burning down the planet. As usual planet Earth is its usual FUBAR self and we are all hitchhikers in the universe of the damned.
The same terrorists who attacked the USA on 9/11 and against who the USA and its complicit little bag carriers like Australia, the UK, France and others waged war against in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere with the loss of thousands of soldiers and costing trillions of dollars, just won in Syria with the help of the USA. No one seems to recognise that this Sunni militia that is now controlling Syria is on the list of US and UN terrorist organisations. True.
I mean, what the hell does that mean these days. NOTHING.
For interest. Compare the case of the synagogue that was set on fire in Melbourne, Australia this week. Pressure from the Master of Genocidal crimes, Netanyahu, (with US approval), bounced the timid Australian Prime Minister around a bit until he stated that this fire was a “terrorist" act. The Australian government have now created structures to form an antisemitic organisation to handle such matters. All this from a brow-beating by the world's #2 criminal, Netanyahu. (Biden, still at #1) The same as in America, antisemitic preoccupation rules the roost. It is almost laughable. (Gaza? Forget it.)
Did Australia in return state that what Israel is doing in Gaza and Lebanon could be classified as "terrorist" activities. Not a whisper. Incredible response to someone like Netanyahu.
How does that murdering Isreali have the gall to pursue such a weak country as Australia and make them jump through hoops every second day. It is humiliating to see such compliant behaviour from such weak people. To add insult to injury, outside the synagogue we see a collection of all the Israeli fan club, politicians of all descriptions (except decent Independents) all probably favouring the actions in Gaza, many of whom could have recently returned from assisting their like-minded constituents to become part of the IDF murders in Gaza, snipers etc., thanks to Australia's tolerated dual passport status with Israel. What a sham!
Any questions on that subject? Not one.
Did you read any of this in the mainstream media? No. But the ‘exceptional’ USA just helped to install a well documented terrorist organisation in the centre of the Middle East, the same leader who has a $10 million bounty from the US government on his head, whose associates have the 9/11 crime as their outstanding claim to fame
Keep it quiet (as everyone else has)....... but Syria is also part of the Israeli "river to the sea" exercise, in case you didn't know, as are all the others targets by Israel and it's bonded financier, the good old USA, its supportive political seats in Washington's houses of justice (crime) almost all occupied by Israeli stooges.
What a disgrace that is. Over 80% owned and controlled by Zionists. What an absolute fool Israel has made of the USA......and on it goes.
Where to from here, soon-to-be President Trump? As with your wildly optimistic (arrogant) statements on Ukraine, can we expect to see another 24 hour recovery from this Syrian situation as well ?
Crimes, lies, bluff and bluster. The USA, 2025 and on. The most morally disgraceful country in history.
“the murdering Israeli “ has plenty of friends in “timid” Australia - and we have an election early next year …..guess who will be influencing things….. I despair.
The Taliban were approved US allies when the US and Pakistan used them…and Osama Bin Laden…. to attack the soviets. Then once used they were “terrorists”.
In no small irony the US also then invented “Al Qaida in Afghanistan” to attack the Taliban in Afghanistan a few years ago.
Al Qaida doesn’t exist and is a brand the US uses for its outsourced chaos makers. Something the media refused to even touch at all
Compare the wanted poster of head-chopperJawlan, Al Qaeda leader, Isis operative, and founder of Al Qaeda Syria, to this pic/story in the business news tonight to get a sense of whose crimes the business class thinks matters.

Yeah but just like race horses, they have odds and that particular horse would be about 1000 to 1.
A thousand whats, I don't know. I've no idea what might be of value once we hit the tipping point.

Small wins are ALSO important. If BIG wins are the only things that would satisfy you, then that portends much frustration and depression ahead.
