Great painting of the Assange father and son. A good hero is hard to find.

I thought this conflict between Russia and the U.S. was immensely dangerous a year ago. Now, it’s terrifyingly dangerous. We are much closer to nuclear annihilation than most people would like to believe...

"In 1960, the USSR accused the U.S. of running an aerial spying program over its territory. Our government denied it to the American people, only admitting it when confronted with the captured U-2 pilot Gary Powers. Americans were genuinely shocked that their government would lie… "

Haven't things changed. Lies? Where do you start....as far back as the Korea War culminating in the biggest of them all. WMD in Iraq, JFK's death, 9/11, such lies hardly raising a question any more and getting bigger and better every year.

Now part of the 2023 American diet.

Interesting that "false flags" are conspiracy theories to the MSM unless it's a different government in question.

So Russia blew up its own pipeline then attacked their own capitol. Next they will nuke Moscow to show their toughness and resolve.

Compromise has a positive connotation, but most public commentators are forced to make the less admirable kind: RFK Jr just made a plea on unHerd for understanding Russia and Putin's position in the Ukraine/US proxy war, and was forced to refer to Putin as a "gangster' as a sop to the mindless haters who must have some blood, whether literal or metaphorical. Biden almost surely has dementia, but he was always a scoundrel, and that fact is supported not only by his position on and support for the Iraq attack of 2003, but by the Senate hearing with Scott Ritter: scoundrel is written all over him. We speak of the sanctity of "truth" and "free speech" but there are lies so sacrosanct that they can never be unpacked. We must make detours around them, but we should never deny their existence.

"Okay so we need to tear down the entire system then."

This. We can't fix this corrupt system. Let's tear it down so we can start afresh.

"Overthrow our rulers."

Yes! Why are we putting up with a "corrupt warmonger with dementia" or a "fascist"? F'em! Let's get rid of them and start afresh... I'm seeing a pattern here, don't you? Let's make a fresh start!

I had a discussion about the "Crown" just the other day. The supporter of the crown stated that we needed to maintain tradition.

Of course the next question was "why?".

They said "tradition." I said "Tradition for whom?"

The true answer is the tradition is for them. Not for us. Chucky or Lizzy were/are no heroes of mine.

How much gold can be found in England? How about diamonds, opals, rubies, emeralds? Silver?

Barely any and most likely none at all.

It is called pirating. It is called slave trading. It is called drug running.

That is how you get rich. And when you are the head of the monarchy, you get paid by pirates and criminals. In return you grant them a title and land and a millennium of servitude.

Your vault gets bigger as king. The poor remain your slaves.

Chucky doesn't even wipe his own arse. Jeeves, Jeeves, I think I've gone poopy. Please come wipe.

And some dumbass goes and does it. A butler is a slave. 24/7 listening to some whiney rich prick, wiping the lint off of his suit.

Hey, tax me for this bullshit.

The governor general of Canada gets paid huge sums of money. As our representative to the monarchy. Just a figurehead with no power. Yet Canadians fall for this horseshit in the name of tradition.

The monarch's tradition is made up wars, murder, rape, theft and slavery.

People are stupid.

As I was reading this I was struck by the idea that Joe Biden is the perfect metaphor for the U.S. and it's empire ... decrepit, decaying and stumbling about emitting angry bursts whenever something is not as he/it thinks it should be. It's all rather sad and increasingly dangerous for everyone.

What worries me is a nuke going off in Ukraine that was blamed on Russia.

My understanding per Unlimited Hangout is that nations across the world are supporting WEF Reset Agenda, esp. digitalized banking and controlling and tracking people at their every move. Seems like our government is a one party government but also the entire world is on track with controlling their populations that extremely limit freedoms.

The Kremlin attack false flag theory comes from the same idiots who promoted Russia blewing up the Nord Stream piplelines.

Our rulers just schmucks like us. Insightful! But also frightening and sad.

I doubt Assange will be released as long as Hillary is alive. If he were to be released, IMO, he would be in constant danger. Just a feeling, of course. That's why the case law (whataboutism for lawyers) does not matter in the least. I cannot speak for other countries, but laws in the US are applied totally unequally and at the discretion of the rich and/or powerful. Or the just plain spiteful. The law has been, like pretty much everything else, weaponized.

The painting for the Archibald, Caitlin. A good effort. Thanks.

I just cannot believe that that feeble Biden and his bunch of Neocons can still hold out on releasing Julian from that ghastly prison after all the comments worldwide and the total hypocrisy of it all.

Thanks for your effort and the encouragement you have given to others by way of motivation for action by your readers

I know we are going to get there, and soon.
