I have a friend who's a terrific seamstress. I have asked her to remove the stars panel from the stars and stripes, on my USA flag, and replace it with an appropriately sized version of the flag of Israel. For the truly patriotic American, I feel this is the only appropriate July 4 symbol that should be displayed. I want to combine some veritas with my patriotism, please.
Combining the Israeli flag with the flag of the United States of America gives us this flag design for The Zionited States of America as portrayed here
Nice one, Ned, gotta love the blue and white stripes. Makes it more apparent who's got the upper hand. Everyone should read Ned's post and see his flag version.
I saw it. When I read your post, I pictured the red, white stripes and the blue a large blue star filling a white patch that formerly was a blue patch, not a bunch of little white stars on a blue patch. Can you clarify what you intended?
Your vision is close to my intention -- blue star almost filling a white patch but flanked by those thick blue stripes on the Israeli flag just to defray any ambiguity.
It may be taken as an endorsement. I can see many Israeli flags flying underneath the US ones, on businesses even.
Saw one huge Israeli flag on a tall corner pole flying alone. No one can miss it. Prior to the last election the combo was - Trump on top, Ukraine below..
Oh well, just shoot me, I guess, because neither I nor anyone else can either predict or control the range of reactions of my brain-addled, minimally coherent "country-men and -women". Perhaps I should assume the worst? It's an awfully disheartening start point from which to jump off, but you may be right.
I think most sentient creatures will understand the message. For those who've had an irony by-pass, perhaps a special flag with a (Bibi)skull and fucking crossbones in the corner will work.
Biden admin also whitewashed away Ben Gvir and Smotrich's terrorist affiliation......as a prelude to their insertion into office and the commencement of the Israeli genocide:
The Iron Dome collapsed and Iranian missiles, which previously had been used mostly symbolically, did massive damage to Israeli cities, military bases, and research centers...so devastating that Israel, which sought to widen the war, called for a ceasefire, almost a sacrilege for Netanyahu.
Trump, who publicly acknowledged the massive damage, called the US bombing "a total success" which had "obliterated" the Iranian capability to start up a nuclear weapons program, because, while the evidence is that he lied, he did so based on fear of the real power Iran showed, which could attack US bases (they did but let the US know it was going to happen, again a more symbolic gesture that military attack, in order to show restraint.
The attack on Israel did NOT show restraint, and Israel blinked and said, enough. Netanyahu can survive so long as thousand of Gazans and Lebanese are being killed, but as soon as the victims of war are Israelis, he knows that it's time to back down.
I want to add a comment: the entire raison d'etre of a Jewish ethnostate is provide a safe place for Jews. Any leader who fails to provide this is at risk of being dumped. Oct 7 almost took Netanyahu out but his massive genocidal massacre gave him a reprieve as a war Prime Minister, but if it is found that the fabled Iron Dome cannot protect Israelis and that Iran, whom Netanyahu bragged was impotent to respond, is capable of causing significant damage to both Israeli defense and citizens, the project has failed to work and the public will not tolerate failure to provide "a safe space for Jews." So Netanyahu, despite in effect surrendering will claim victory, to mask his humiliation.
The most outspoken critics of Israel have often been Jews. I read the oldest publication in Israel, Haaretz, daily and it is the conscience of Jewish Israelis, speaking truth to power, exposing lies and atrocities. We should feel deep kinship with those Jews with the gut to speak out against Israerli criminality, for they are the least safe of all.
Great point. Most of the best and most persuasive anti-Zionists are Jewish: Norman Finkelstein, Max Blumenthal, Ilan Pappé, John Mearsheimer and many more.
Also, many of the most vile Zionists have been gentiles: Mike Huckabee, Cyrus Scofield, John Nelson Darby, Winston Churchill, David Lloyd George, etc.
I believe that when they properly lose control of the narrative the Zionists will pivot to try to divert criticism from Zionism to Jews in general. Both to discredit anti-Zionism, and to try to unite Jews around Zionism.
As usual, you fail in reading comprehension: my point was clear to anyoe not lusting to smash me with hatred. Among Jew, those who face the most danger are those who criticize Israel. I will amend my comment so that even you get its meaining, which is clear to anyone not frothing at the mouth to pin me down: "We should feel deep inship with those Jews with the guts to spea against Israeli criminalit, for they are the least safe Jews of all. Nothing in the original comment even hinted at a comparison with the Palestinians. So go hate someone else a while; it's boring.
WHY are you talking about 'the safety of Jews' in the first place when there is a GENOCIDE GOING ON OF PALESTINIANS ???
Why do you KEEP focusing on 'Jews and their safety' in an environment of 'utter annihilation' of Palestinians and so many other Muslims, Christians, and Arabs in the MENA region ???
What are YOUR priorities Dale Ruff? What are YOUR morals? This ISN'T the time to 'wanting to be NEUTRAL' or 'playing BOTH sides'.
My comment was understood to be speaking, as was the topic of my post, of the safety of Jews. My clear point is that those Jews who speak out against Israeli war crimes are the least safe among them. Perhaps you do not understand that by Israeli criminality, I mean the genocide of Palestinians. Stop acting stupid.
"The most outspoken critics of Israel have often been Jews" - and that's perfectly fine for the purposes of control. Create an illusion of "democracy" while dismissing them in reality. All the while keep doing what you're doing..
The hater is back> an example of a Jew who has been attacked by AIPAC for calling out Israel for murder is NOam Chomsky. No one in our lifetimes has been more influential in teaching us the mechanisms of control and challenging us to confront it. Another group of Jews in Israel are the people who write for Haaretz and on a daily basis denounce the regime. These people pay a price for standing up and speaking truth to power. Haaratz nor Chomsky are claiming Israel (or the US) is a democracy but calling out the slid into fascism, as Einstein did in 1948. They are no part of control but the challenge to control. You are an idiot with your stupid fake name. Please leave me alone; you are not only obnoxious but boring.
Yes, those and other Jews are calling it out. And what changes? Apart from a few who notice the system keeps going forward while the presence of that opposition gives the system right to claim they're tolerant enough and allow disagreements.
PS: What is it with the "hater" schtick? Out of ideas to how insult me? And as far as "leave me alone" - police your own blog. Or block me, the fearless warrior that you are. You'll join the company of blog's chickens who already did.
Look for the transcript I'm going to publish of Joti Brar explaining the scam of the Labor party in Britain. It is exactly the same as the one the Democrats use here in the US.
Do note this quote:
"Zionism is not optional for a British career politician at a high level -- it's mandatory."
Here's the link to the entire episode. Brar nails it. The problem is capitalism.
Thank you JohnOnKaui for the link to Joti Brar. Her Marxist analysis of capitalism and imperialism is one that the people of the global south have been aware of, and struggling against for ever. And the good people of the West should make themselves acquainted with, if there's going to be an escape from the present inferno.
Wading through Caitlin's comment page - and getting exceedingly disappointed by the way some go hammer and tongs at each other indulging in hairsplitting - it was a relief to come across your link to Joti Brar.
Trump and Netanyahu actions clearly reveal who they are. Puzzling how so many Pod Casters and "Truth" tellers miss the obvious. Thank you for seeing it and calling it out.
A few weeks ago, Musk said that Trump was mentioned in The Epstein Files. And Patel and others now piously assure us that Epstein's death really was a suicide, nothing to see here!
You can bet your last dollar that Trump is not the only prominent person so featured.
What a shame that people choose to point fingers at Trump supporters. You need to try to figure out why they support Trump. It is because the Democrats have repeatedly failed them.
This theater between the Republicans and Democrats is tightly controlled by the American Oligarchy. Please expand your understanding beyond the duopoly.
Look for the transcript I'm going to post of Joti Brar explaining the duopoly.
Or you can watch here excellent video on "Neutrality Studies" here.
I understand that. The Republicans have pushed all the right buttons and the Democrats in charge have benefited and let it happen. It's all about money and disinformation. But there is an empathy gap, as well as cultural gaps that have existed since the Civil War.
The Rothschild Family has had a grip on the British financiers for centuries. Lord Rothschild envisioned the creation of Eretz Israel within Palestine.
How many Rothschilds are in the American "Jewish Mafia"?
Hey, I am not, in anyway, disagreeing with the point (I think) you are trying to make.
Just saying Rothschild is probably a very minor member of the Criminals we face. Like when I mention Meyer Lansky, head of the "Jewish Mob", I sure hope people don't get the impression I hold him singularly responsible for the state of the US economy and the decline of the American Empire.
We cannot categorically criticize all Rothschilds. However, the Rothschild family of highly influential financiers date back to the late 18th Century. Some Rothschilds have been in elevated positions of power in the British Empire since the 19th Century.
The Goldman, Sachs, Salomon and Lehman families have been holding key positions on Wall Street.
Meyer Lansky was a player in a different kind of “finance”.
The decline of the American Empire is not the direct result of any Jewish, Italian or similar Mafia. The decline can be attributed to the nearly unquestioning worship of Capitalism and kowtowing to Wall Street funds managers demanding ever increasing profits for the benefit of their billionaire and mega-millionaire clients, accommodated by the executives of thousands of US corporations that seek to continue to underpay their workers while also offsetting millions of US jobs.
Despite increasing productivity since WWII, the workers inflation-adjusted wages have been flat while executive compensation has reached epic heights.
The Zionist cabal of atheists and multi-denominational hypocrites have their own agenda.
Well said CK, especially this TRUTH -> "Despite increasing productivity since WWII, the workers inflation-adjusted wages have been flat while executive compensation has reached epic heights."
How many Rothschilds are in the American "Jewish Mafia"?
Hey, I am not, in anyway, disagreeing with the point (I think) you are trying to make.

Israel is NOT the tail that wags the dog. The American Empire is controlled by capitalists who are in an end-state capitalist economy. The empire is failing.
Look to Aaron Good to explain it to you. His "Empire and the Deep State" series is quite instructive.
They don’t even bother to hide the blatant corruption anymore. If a Congressman doesn’t vote for Trump’s BBB (Build Back Better?) big beautiful bill then the President himself vows to throw him out of government. How is this democracy?
It isn't. I live here and I am just dismayed at the people that refuse to see the truth of what Trump is. There are just as many who do see but together, that's a lot of people. Until the balance swings one way or the other, not much is gonna change.
Vance had the tie breaker vote to pass that awful bill today. Just maddening.
Oh dear. Neither Trump nor Bibi are managers. They're the faces that people wanted to see. The populist, anti-war, anti-deep state Trump elected on false premises and able to fast track the dismantling of women's reproductive rights, animal rights, climate change mitigation and protections on the environment. The smiling assassin who'll kill all the Palestinian babies to get at the gas off the coast.
The democrats are no different in war mongering but with the election of these 2 bozos we get open and faster warfare on China, the environment, free speech and immigrants.
Project 2025 et al- the fossil fuel, animal ag, arms, pharma, tech and media industries are the managers and they are extremely pleased with how they manipulated the electorate to get the world to where it is today.
OMG! I really hate this administration. How much more blatant can Chabad Trumpenstein get than this latest? How can Americans celebrate our Independence Day when we have this tyrant in the WH? He doesn't even allow free speech anymore. I hope the MAGA crowd is really proud of themselves for backing this giant fraud of a bully. Peace president my ass. Words fail me...
If elections could really change the situation, they would be banned immediately.
As a side note: Recently, several elections have been annulled, like in Gabon (2023), Turkey (2019, 2020), Mali (2020), South Sudan (2015), Nigeria (2019), Venezuela (2018),...
This quote is rather ominous, and one I believe we are on our way to experiencing.
"In fact, they had fallen into a contradiction which could only be resolved by civil war, since the function of civil war was to defuse this contradiction."
I disagree. We are in this mess because we have welcomed darkness into our so-called leadership. We as a country have turned our backs on God and have been left in the wilderness.
Are you American? I don't know of many countries who still have good leadership. Lots of folks in the pot calling the kettle black.
Well my dear, you avoided my question. Judging from many of your other comments here, you enjoy name-calling and belittling folks. Not good qualities in a reasonable human being.
Not surprised at all. I am coming to understand just how much propaganda the US gov't has fed it people over the years. I recently watched a great documentary about Iran that opened my eyes there. I will continue to learn about China and Russia as well. It's sickening how the people of America have been lied to, although if we all practiced due diligence and looked into things ourselves, we would see the lies for what they are.
Once you really believe a lie, it's very difficult to see otherwise unless you choose to search out the truth.
I get the joke, but it’s important to keep in mind that America is, in fact, the head of the snake. Israel’s our henchman in the Middle-East, doing our bidding, exerting control through violence throughout the region on our behalf.
Spot on Caitlin. I never knew that America=Israel and vise versa until recently. It's sickening. We fought a revolution to free ourselves from the King of England, and now we have this genocidal psycho running the show here. The court has bowed down to Trump's demand, but the day of reckoning for Netanyahu will surely come. Not soon enough but it will come.
How is Israel even a country? It's as dependent as Ukraine on hand-outs. It's filled with arrogant people who mostly seem quite okay with starving babies and everyone to death and bombing the entire population to smithereens. For fun. Out of boredom. Because they can. Then they show the world what they have done with pride.
Free speech in America is looking like a myth. The entire concept is to protect people who say things others don't like. It's down the drain. I knew the UK and other places were further down the road prosecuting people for what they say, but it's our turn under Trump. Free speech is in our Constitution which no longer matters. Trump is so dense he falls for the stupidiest things. He is also a true believer in Israel it has become more than clear.
And why do we have a character like Randy Fine in Congress? He's obviously there for Israel; a one-agenda man. Why do we allow outsize Israeli lobbyists? I'd outlaw all lobbyists, but the people who need to do the outlawing are the recipients.
Have you all forgotten that Trump in his first term gifted Netanyahoo with a golden key to the White House, People's House? In his second term, Netanyahoo gifted him with a golden pager?! Is that reciprocity may I ask?
Nothing to do with Epstein. This is all Trump. This is who/what Trump ALWAYS was/is. That there are so many 'suckers' out there that bought into the Trump/MAGA cult (and still are) is what you might want to worry about.
MAGA are not suckers, any more than the rest of us. Look at how many still defend the Democrats. MAGA has issues that should be addressed, but rather than trying to understand what they are, we insult them. That is the goal of the Oligarchy. To get us to hate one another more than we hate them.
>>"MAGA are not suckers, any more than the rest of us."
I disagree very much with that statement. MAGA are very much a DIFFERENT LEVEL of suckers altogether.
People think MAGA are suckers because they believe in MAGA. I say the inverse - that BECAUSE they were suckers in the first place, they are attracted to 'narratives such as MAGA'.
You think MAGA is the problem? I think MAGA is the symptom. The problem goes much deeper than MAGA.
>>"but rather than trying to understand what they are..."
You mistake me for some 'average MAGA hater'. I DO understand them. There's nothing really special or difficult to understand about MAGA. Trump has successfully hijacked the brains of 'certain kinds of people' with 'narratives about NATIONALISM'. Trump has made his 'nationalism narrative' into a CULT.
But there's nothing unique about the MAGA cult. For example, in India, MODI has developed his own 'Hindu nationalism (Hindutva) cult'. Mussollini had his own cult (The cult of the Duce: Mussolini and the Italians - https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctt18mvkcv).
That is how ALL strongmen operate. They all have CULTS, and various narratives used to inculcate people into these cults. Trump's cult happens to be MAGA.
Of course this is the excuse you offer up to have your own version of how smart you are and how stupid other people are. We've been down this road before.
This is what you do. Perhaps you can't help it.
You hate MAGA and refuse to talk to them or listen to them, so in response they hate you.
The Oligarchy loves you. Keep that chaos and hate spinning round and round and round.
There are times to call MAGA out, but you never, ever give them a break. Like now, you're accusing them of being CULT followers as if they are too stupid to understand what's going on.
>>"Like now, you're accusing them of being CULT followers as if they are too stupid to understand what's going on."
There you go John, you're catching on. There are MANY stupid humans on this planet. Simply look at how we are destroying the planet, other species, and other humans to realize how utterly STUPID and UN-EVOLVED homo-sapiens really are (though we pretend to be a 'superior species').
So, yes, "they ARE too stupid to understand what's going on." But of course, they're not the only ones that are stupid.
Here's another example of someone stupid - ME (yes, Chang Chokaski). Most of my life I've been stupid and suckered into the 'narratives of Capitalism'. I'm just glad that I 'somehow' woke up and realized my OWN stupidity for believing such narratives for most of my life.
Somehow, you seem to be MORE bothered by how much people 'hate the MAGA cult' than the problems created by the 'cult itself'. Why is that?
I'm not interested in participation in a Civil War. I'm not even sure how I feel about Luigi when I think about Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby. Is Luigi a member of the Oligarchy (Like John Kerry or Bill Ayers [do a web search on "Obama's terrorist friend"])
Why is that your (apparent) goal?
Are you a secret "Evangelical Christian" who wants to hasten the second coming? I don't ask this in jest. I truly don't understand the hatred you constantly spew. What's your goal?
Focus on those behind the problems you object to, not on those who believe the false promises that those problems will be addressed. Bernie Sanders absolutely betrayed us. Unfortunately "betrayed" isn't close to strong enough for the crime he committed. And he's out there again with AOC peddling the same lies. (If you haven't read my Joti Brar transcript posted here, do so.)
America needs its own "two-state solution". We need to recognize the chaos being created by the criminal Oligarchy to keep us fighting amongst ourselves rather than focusing on MAGA as the Oligarchy steals the wealth Labor has created.
MAGA seems to think “free speech” is being able to say slurs without any consequences in their personal or professional lives, as opposed to being able to criticize whoever and whatever government actors or actions one wants without the government cracking down on you.
My GOD! After reading this latest column of Caitlin's Newsletter, I just don't know what to say anymore. Trump is just totally wack -o, and that nutty yahoo is being kept by Trump in the seventh heaven. Will this madness ever end?
How is it possible that no one is able to stop this madness? I guess the answer to this, at least, is Fear of the evil twins mentioned above. What a sick, sick world!
I have a friend who's a terrific seamstress. I have asked her to remove the stars panel from the stars and stripes, on my USA flag, and replace it with an appropriately sized version of the flag of Israel.

Brilliant idea Vin.
Send us a picture, i am sure others can do this. I would be lazy and glue the 'evil' symbol on.
Good luck.
Indeed. The star of Moloch. Because there was never a star of David.

How apropos: Moloch's appetite for child sacrifice in Palestine is like no other ever before it would appear.
I am sure people will figure it out?
Doubtful
Well I know Americans are stupid but if they cannot do this then.......good luck!
We're not all stupid, but I could easily imagine pro-Israel types interpreting it differently.
Combining the Israeli flag with the flag of the United States of America gives us this flag design for The Zionited States of America as portrayed here

Careful, the Zionists might adopt it thinking it isn't satire and start waving it about.
You should add some bloodstains to it, you know, for historical accuracy.
Yup, and Netanyahu was Biden's buddy as well.

About that massive victory in the "12 Days War."
The Iron Dome collapsed and Iranian missiles, which previously had been used mostly symbolically, did massive damage to Israeli cities, military bases, and research centers...so devastating that Israel, which sought to widen the war, called for a ceasefire, almost a sacrilege for Netanyahu.

Iron Dome. It might have worked before but weapons have changed. I never believed there was an iron dome in the first place.
As it is: All Uranium was moved from what I read.
IRON SIEVE
I want to add a comment: the entire raison d'etre of a Jewish ethnostate is provide a safe place for Jews. Any leader who fails to provide this is at risk of being dumped. Oct 7 almost took Netanyahu out but his massive genocidal massacre gave him a reprieve as a war Prime Minister, but if it is found that the fabled Iron Dome cannot protect Israelis and that Iran, whom Netanyahu bragged was impotent to respond, is capable of causing significant damage to both Israeli defense and citizens, the project has failed to work and the public will not tolerate failure to provide "a safe space for Jews." So Netanyahu, despite in effect surrendering will claim victory, to mask his humiliation.
As long as one calls oneself a 'jew' or whatever there's zero safety. This is guaranteed.
The most outspoken critics of Israel have often been Jews. I read the oldest publication in Israel, Haaretz, daily and it is the conscience of Jewish Israelis, speaking truth to power, exposing lies and atrocities. We should feel deep kinship with those Jews with the gut to speak out against Israerli criminality, for they are the least safe of all.
Great point. Most of the best and most persuasive anti-Zionists are Jewish: Norman Finkelstein, Max Blumenthal, Ilan Pappé, John Mearsheimer and many more.
Also, many of the most vile Zionists have been gentiles: Mike Huckabee, Cyrus Scofield, John Nelson Darby, Winston Churchill, David Lloyd George, etc.
I believe that when they properly lose control of the narrative the Zionists will pivot to try to divert criticism from Zionism to Jews in general. Both to discredit anti-Zionism, and to try to unite Jews around Zionism.
Yes. When the Jews are no longer a good sell, they will be disposed of.
Just like Ukraine.
"...Jews with the gut to speak out against Israerli criminality, for they are the least safe of all"
Really Dale Ruff? Have you been aware of the Genocide of Palestinians in Gaza? Are you 'deaf, dumb, and blind'?
I would say that the Palestinians are orders of magnitude MORE unsafe than ANY Jew (or Zionist) on the planet. Do you disagree with me?
As usual, you fail in reading comprehension: my point was clear to anyoe not lusting to smash me with hatred. Among Jew, those who face the most danger are those who criticize Israel. I will amend my comment so that even you get its meaining, which is clear to anyone not frothing at the mouth to pin me down: "We should feel deep inship with those Jews with the guts to spea against Israeli criminalit, for they are the least safe Jews of all.

WHY are you talking about 'the safety of Jews' in the first place when there is a GENOCIDE GOING ON OF PALESTINIANS ???
Why do you KEEP focusing on 'Jews and their safety' in an environment of 'utter annihilation' of Palestinians and so many other Muslims, Christians, and Arabs in the MENA region ???

Stop being stupid Dale Ruff, but maybe that is too much to ask of you. So go ahead and be stupid if you wish.
I simply enjoy the comic relief you often provide us here as a free service. Keep going strong, Dale Ruff!

You can bet your last dollar that Trump is not the only prominent person so featured.
I genuinely hope Iran will release those papers publicly.
But will it matter to Magats? Many would probably be impressed and jealous.
There could be live action footage of Trump diddling little bois and also a boa constrictor and MAGA would just deny and make excuses.
Haha. That's the absolute truth.
What a shame that people choose to point fingers at Trump supporters. You need to try to figure out why they support Trump. It is because the Democrats have repeatedly failed them.

This is the only name I know from years ago.
Nah! Drumpf, the GOP, many Democrats in Congress, the Supreme Court and Israel serve the same wealthy sponsors, many of whom are Zionists.

The Rothschild Family has had a grip on the British financiers for centuries. Lord Rothschild envisioned the creation of Eretz Israel within Palestine.
How many Rothschilds are in the American "Jewish Mafia"?
Hey, I am not, in anyway, disagreeing with the point (I think) you are trying to make.
Just saying Rothschild is probably a very minor member of the Criminals we face. Like when I mention Meyer Lansky, head of the "Jewish Mob", I sure hope people don't get the impression I hold him singularly responsible for the state of the US economy and the decline of the American Empire.
We cannot categorically criticize all Rothschilds. However, the Rothschild family of highly influential financiers date back to the late 18th Century. Some Rothschilds have been in elevated positions of power in the British Empire since the 19th Century.
The Goldman, Sachs, Salomon and Lehman families have been holding key positions on Wall Street.
Meyer Lansky was a player in a different kind of “finance”.
The decline of the American Empire is not the direct result of any Jewish, Italian or similar Mafia. The decline can be attributed to the nearly unquestioning worship of Capitalism and kowtowing to Wall Street funds managers demanding ever increasing profits for the benefit of their billionaire and mega-millionaire clients, accommodated by the executives of thousands of US corporations that seek to continue to underpay their workers while also offsetting millions of US jobs.
Despite increasing productivity since WWII, the workers inflation-adjusted wages have been flat while executive compensation has reached epic heights.
The Zionist cabal of atheists and multi-denominational hypocrites have their own agenda.
Well said CK, especially this TRUTH -> "Despite increasing productivity since WWII, the workers inflation-adjusted wages have been flat while executive compensation has reached epic heights."
🎯💯🙏
My mention of Lansky was to highlight the nature of end-state capitalism.
If the list are capitalists, then they are directly the result that leads to the end of the American Empire.

No, there's nothing special Israel has on Trump.
Israel is NOT the tail that wags the dog. The American Empire is controlled by capitalists who are in an end-state capitalist economy. The empire is failing.
Look to Aaron Good to explain it to you. His "Empire and the Deep State" series is quite instructive.
They don’t even bother to hide the blatant corruption anymore. If a Congressman doesn’t vote for Trump’s BBB (Build Back Better?) big beautiful bill then the President himself vows to throw him out of government. How is this democracy?
It isn't. I live here and I am just dismayed at the people that refuse to see the truth of what Trump is. There are just as many who do see but together, that's a lot of people. Until the balance swings one way or the other, not much is gonna change.
Vance had the tie breaker vote to pass that awful bill today. Just maddening.
Oh dear. Neither Trump nor Bibi are managers. They're the faces that people wanted to see. The populist, anti-war, anti-deep state Trump elected on false premises and able to fast track the dismantling of women's reproductive rights, animal rights, climate change mitigation and protections on the environment. The smiling assassin who'll kill all the Palestinian babies to get at the gas off the coast.
The democrats are no different in war mongering but with the election of these 2 bozos we get open and faster warfare on China, the environment, free speech and immigrants.
Project 2025 et al- the fossil fuel, animal ag, arms, pharma, tech and media industries are the managers and they are extremely pleased with how they manipulated the electorate to get the world to where it is today.
OMG! I really hate this administration. How much more blatant can Chabad Trumpenstein get than this latest? How can Americans celebrate our Independence Day when we have this tyrant in the WH? He doesn't even allow free speech anymore. I hope the MAGA crowd is really proud of themselves for backing this giant fraud of a bully. Peace president my ass. Words fail me...
Who did you vote for? Both party's are the same.
Absolutely none of your business but I'll answer it once-I voted for neither party because I know they are the same. Both are corrupt to the core.
See Sartre's essay: 'Voting: a trap for Fools'.
If elections could really change the situation, they would be banned immediately.
As a side note: Recently, several elections have been annulled, like in Gabon (2023), Turkey (2019, 2020), Mali (2020), South Sudan (2015), Nigeria (2019), Venezuela (2018),...
Good to see some smartening-up going on.

This quote is rather ominous, and one I believe we are on our way to experiencing.
"In fact, they had fallen into a contradiction which could only be resolved by civil war, since the function of civil war was to defuse this contradiction."
Genuine politics is Agency in the World. Perverted politics, in the world as it is , is This against That.
It may not be my business but a whole lot of people have and still will vote for Dems/Repubs. This is why you are in the mess you are in.
I disagree. We are in this mess because we have welcomed darkness into our so-called leadership. We as a country have turned our backs on God and have been left in the wilderness.
Are you American? I don't know of many countries who still have good leadership. Lots of folks in the pot calling the kettle black.
God does not exist........scapegoating.
Well my dear, you avoided my question. Judging from many of your other comments here, you enjoy name-calling and belittling folks. Not good qualities in a reasonable human being.
Pretty chicken shit keyboard warrior imo.
China, Russia, Iran, Vietnam, Burkina Faso all have governments that protect their citizens and oppose the Oligarchy.
There are others.
None of them are members of NATO or the G-7.
Not surprised at all. I am coming to understand just how much propaganda the US gov't has fed it people over the years. I recently watched a great documentary about Iran that opened my eyes there. I will continue to learn about China and Russia as well. It's sickening how the people of America have been lied to, although if we all practiced due diligence and looked into things ourselves, we would see the lies for what they are.
Once you really believe a lie, it's very difficult to see otherwise unless you choose to search out the truth.
The King regularly visiting his most lucrative province and staying in Governor Trump's residence? What's so special about that? (Sarcasm)
I get the joke, but it’s important to keep in mind that America is, in fact, the head of the snake. Israel’s our henchman in the Middle-East, doing our bidding, exerting control through violence throughout the region on our behalf.
NO.
Spot on Caitlin. I never knew that America=Israel and vise versa until recently. It's sickening. We fought a revolution to free ourselves from the King of England, and now we have this genocidal psycho running the show here. The court has bowed down to Trump's demand, but the day of reckoning for Netanyahu will surely come. Not soon enough but it will come.
How is Israel even a country? It's as dependent as Ukraine on hand-outs. It's filled with arrogant people who mostly seem quite okay with starving babies and everyone to death and bombing the entire population to smithereens. For fun. Out of boredom. Because they can. Then they show the world what they have done with pride.
Free speech in America is looking like a myth. The entire concept is to protect people who say things others don't like. It's down the drain. I knew the UK and other places were further down the road prosecuting people for what they say, but it's our turn under Trump. Free speech is in our Constitution which no longer matters. Trump is so dense he falls for the stupidiest things. He is also a true believer in Israel it has become more than clear.
And why do we have a character like Randy Fine in Congress? He's obviously there for Israel; a one-agenda man. Why do we allow outsize Israeli lobbyists? I'd outlaw all lobbyists, but the people who need to do the outlawing are the recipients.
Wren, you are omitting one word in your phrase it should read : “America=Israel=Money. and of course, human stupidity.
Have you all forgotten that Trump in his first term gifted Netanyahoo with a golden key to the White House, People's House? In his second term, Netanyahoo gifted him with a golden pager?! Is that reciprocity may I ask?
They obviously enjoy each other's company. Maybe they'll get to share a cell at the Hague.
I'm starting to understand the festive atmosphere of the parties in the Place de la Concorde, you know when.
Oh gosh, Trump must be in a lot of videos from Jeff Epstein… maybe there are some new ones.
Or the real reports from his doctors, that allegedly gave a him a perfect bill of health.
Or the real results of the elections.
Or whatever other dark secret Donold has.
And the genocider still has work to do, a few wars to start, people to kill.
Nothing to do with Epstein. This is all Trump. This is who/what Trump ALWAYS was/is. That there are so many 'suckers' out there that bought into the Trump/MAGA cult (and still are) is what you might want to worry about.
"Nothing to do with Epstein."
OK, we can agree on something.
MAGA are not suckers, any more than the rest of us. Look at how many still defend the Democrats. MAGA has issues that should be addressed, but rather than trying to understand what they are, we insult them. That is the goal of the Oligarchy. To get us to hate one another more than we hate them.
>>"MAGA are not suckers, any more than the rest of us."
I disagree very much with that statement. MAGA are very much a DIFFERENT LEVEL of suckers altogether.
People think MAGA are suckers because they believe in MAGA. I say the inverse - that BECAUSE they were suckers in the first place, they are attracted to 'narratives such as MAGA'.
You think MAGA is the problem? I think MAGA is the symptom. The problem goes much deeper than MAGA.
>>"but rather than trying to understand what they are..."
You mistake me for some 'average MAGA hater'. I DO understand them. There's nothing really special or difficult to understand about MAGA. Trump has successfully hijacked the brains of 'certain kinds of people' with 'narratives about NATIONALISM'. Trump has made his 'nationalism narrative' into a CULT.
But there's nothing unique about the MAGA cult. For example, in India, MODI has developed his own 'Hindu nationalism (Hindutva) cult'. Mussollini had his own cult (The cult of the Duce: Mussolini and the Italians - https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctt18mvkcv).
That is how ALL strongmen operate. They all have CULTS, and various narratives used to inculcate people into these cults. Trump's cult happens to be MAGA.
Of course this is the excuse you offer up to have your own version of how smart you are and how stupid other people are. We've been down this road before.
This is what you do. Perhaps you can't help it.
You hate MAGA and refuse to talk to them or listen to them, so in response they hate you.
The Oligarchy loves you. Keep that chaos and hate spinning round and round and round.
There are times to call MAGA out, but you never, ever give them a break. Like now, you're accusing them of being CULT followers as if they are too stupid to understand what's going on.
JUST STOP IT.
>>"Like now, you're accusing them of being CULT followers as if they are too stupid to understand what's going on."
There you go John, you're catching on. There are MANY stupid humans on this planet. Simply look at how we are destroying the planet, other species, and other humans to realize how utterly STUPID and UN-EVOLVED homo-sapiens really are (though we pretend to be a 'superior species').
So, yes, "they ARE too stupid to understand what's going on." But of course, they're not the only ones that are stupid.
Here's another example of someone stupid - ME (yes, Chang Chokaski). Most of my life I've been stupid and suckered into the 'narratives of Capitalism'. I'm just glad that I 'somehow' woke up and realized my OWN stupidity for believing such narratives for most of my life.
Somehow, you seem to be MORE bothered by how much people 'hate the MAGA cult' than the problems created by the 'cult itself'. Why is that?
Because your solution is to shoot them. (MAGA)
I'm not interested in participation in a Civil War. I'm not even sure how I feel about Luigi when I think about Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby. Is Luigi a member of the Oligarchy (Like John Kerry or Bill Ayers [do a web search on "Obama's terrorist friend"])
Why is that your (apparent) goal?
Are you a secret "Evangelical Christian" who wants to hasten the second coming? I don't ask this in jest. I truly don't understand the hatred you constantly spew. What's your goal?
Focus on those behind the problems you object to, not on those who believe the false promises that those problems will be addressed. Bernie Sanders absolutely betrayed us. Unfortunately "betrayed" isn't close to strong enough for the crime he committed. And he's out there again with AOC peddling the same lies. (If you haven't read my Joti Brar transcript posted here, do so.)
America needs its own "two-state solution". We need to recognize the chaos being created by the criminal Oligarchy to keep us fighting amongst ourselves rather than focusing on MAGA as the Oligarchy steals the wealth Labor has created.
Capitalism is death.
I guess we are do for another zionist version of goebbels 1943 sportspalast total war speech in congress.
MAGA seems to think “free speech” is being able to say slurs without any consequences in their personal or professional lives, as opposed to being able to criticize whoever and whatever government actors or actions one wants without the government cracking down on you.
🎯💯
My GOD! After reading this latest column of Caitlin's Newsletter, I just don't know what to say anymore. Trump is just totally wack -o, and that nutty yahoo is being kept by Trump in the seventh heaven. Will this madness ever end?
How is it possible that no one is able to stop this madness? I guess the answer to this, at least, is Fear of the evil twins mentioned above. What a sick, sick world!
People 'en masse' can do this.
