Fuck Israel. Cancel it and beware of all Zionists. Israel is a Worldwide Terrorist with cells everywhere.

elena the red's avatar

I absolutely agree

In fact for 42 years I said 1 state Palestine and I was correct then more so than I knew even

Chuck Nasmith's avatar

1 State Palestine (repeat often)

Paul Vonharnish's avatar

Hello Chuck Nasmith. Heh... At least you're consistent. Fuck Israel for sure. But replace the "Zionist" meme with the term "Technocrat". Much closer to the actuality of the situation. Best regards.

elena the red's avatar

Not all zios are technofascists but I do think all technofascists are Zionists so labeling it a Zionism problem is more correct

Two years ago, MAGA was in arms when democrats and liberals were pushing for online censorship.

Now that they have the whip hand, they're all in. Note how democrats and liberals are silent.

Patrick Powers's avatar

I knew this would happen.

elena the red's avatar

I remember Hillary and pelousy screaming for censorship much like Feinstein advocated for “free speech zones” at the democrats convention in the 70’s.. liberals are a scourge

Patrick Powers's avatar

I knew that all the R's cared about was the suppression of R speech. Then they took revenge, turning around and suppressing D speech by getting woke people fired. They don't give a damn about the law, not even the US constitution that they rallied around for so many years. And the Ds are the same.

I will note in passing that the UK is even worse than the USA. They move openly to get rid of free speech by way of arrests, prosecutions, and in some cases lengthy jail sentences for speech they don't like. They rigged a free speech trial by banning all reasonable arguments for the defense but the jury acquitted anyway. The system responded by trying to get rid of free speech jury trials and threatening to prosecute lawyers who dared to defy such bans.

Of course. Now that rhe Soviet Union is gone, the rulers no longer have to hold out a better deal.

Patrick Powers's avatar

Back in the 60's they promised that progress would bring a life of luxury and ease. Nowadays they don't even pretend they are ever going to do anything to improve the lot of everyday people. An amazing new technology appears and the main response is fear. Everyone knows it will be used to worsen the lives of ordinary people, and everyone feels they are helpless to do anything about it.

Actually Elon Musk went retro and foresaw lives of luxury and ease. Did even one person believe him?

Feral Finster's avatar

A new technology arrives and the sociopaths who rule over us immediately seek to aeaponize it.

Patrick Powers's avatar

Another thing I knew would happen. How? I worked in a USA company. They did as little as they could while holding on to their customers. When a competitor arose they sprang into action.

Not true: "They are not silent. That claim is too broad.

Democrats, liberal media outlets, civil-liberties groups, and First Amendment lawyers have been objecting to Trump/FCC pressure on media and online speech. For example, Senate Democrats recently pressed FCC chair Brendan Carr to back off ABC, arguing the agency was being weaponized against dissenting media. ABC/Disney also accused the Trump FCC of violating First Amendment rights over actions targeting The View.

The ACLU has also been active on free-speech retaliation issues, warning that government cannot punish speech because officials dislike the viewpoint. Free Press likewise organized more than 80 First Amendment scholars and litigators calling on Carr to stop what they described as unlawful jawboning and censorship.

But there is a real hypocrisy problem on both sides. Many conservatives who screamed “censorship” under Biden are now comfortable with Trump-world pressure campaigns when the targets are liberal media, universities, protesters, comedians, or critics. And many Democrats who were too casual about platform censorship during COVID, Hunter Biden laptop fights, “disinformation” policing, etc., now sound much more absolutist because the weapon is pointed at them."

Feral Finster's avatar

You don't provide much in specifics, but the ACLU was fine with censorship, as long as it was Team D.

Anyway, I got a question for you.....

elena the red's avatar

Lots of folks like that are brainwashed by blue maga

99.99% of policies are agreed upon by the red and blue MAGAts

Feral Finster's avatar

Edit: never mind. Wrong question, wrong respondent. My bad.

elena the red's avatar

Personally I learn from history and follow such resistance as South Africans against apartheid. Recall they boycotted their fake selections and the world finally started to take notice so I do not vote in what USA has shown increasingly from 2000 onward to be a fake democracy.

I do not support either war torture austerity team red or blue so I do not use my vote to tell the world USA is a democracy and I support the outcome of fake selections.

I don’t support either fascist genocide loving war funding garbage team so I boycott and remind everyone why.

Mark E Smith wrote a nice short and succinct article on boycotting WEB Dubois was another former voter turned boycott advocate that wrote quite a bit about why boycotting fraud was his choice. Things have only gotten worse since his time too. Once upon a time I also believed USA was a democracy until the government and TPTB openly exposed the fraud and I read up on the subject.

I think my email sent your old comment t as directed to me which it wasn’t but I still wanted to add why I reject being guilted into supporting the purple fascist uniparty.

This is not for local elections which occasionally have some actual chances of doing good but the bullshit of federal elections particularly those that select the next war criminal potus.

Feral Finster's avatar

I thought inwas responding to another one of Dale's "Vote Blue No Matter Who!" riffs.

Magic Girl's avatar

Yeah, the establishment you refer to is trying to protect the lying establishment press! And because it's Trump's guy threatening a free press. They are still trying to silence the real journalists and those of us who dissent and don't follow their orders or speak off-narrative. Democrats in the US already demonstrated where they stand on "free speech" under Biden, as they directed social media giants to censor people, cancel people, remove people, even Stacy Plaskett sitting in Congress threatened to jail Matt Taibbi for a typographical error that made her three letter agencies look bad. What they're doing now is simply performative under their theatrical production of being opposed to Trump. They are NOT opposed to Trump.

elena the red's avatar

Funny too since Matty is more hasbara than journalism

Zionists are far worse than any caricature of them, however atrocious those caricatures may be.

Well done for publishing and saying - Peace be upon you by Gaza and Jerusalem - Honour and victory are the allies of the axis of resistance and its allies, and humiliation and shame are for the axis of evil, Epstein Class (USA, Britain, France, Turkey, Qatar, UAE, NATO Governments, Zionist and Israel) and its allies.

As it gets more dire, make plans to leave the "I". I lived with no internet for the first 51 years of life. Take steps to limit the surveillance...no apple, microsoft, google, amazon or meta for starters.

My Facebook account was suspended, I had to give biometrics and my drivers license to get it back. Then they disabled it permanently. No appeal possible and I am blocked from creating another account

Shelagh D you should've walked away. You've now given them exactly what they wanted - your photo ID and your biometrics.

And after they got what they wanted, they told you to go pound sand anyway.

No one in this day and age should be on Facebook.

From the day they mothballed DARPA's 'Lifelog' only to relaunch it the very next day as 'Facebook', it has always been a surveillance data dragnet operation, and people still haven't figured that out yet.

JennyStokes's avatar

Lucky you. I don't seem to sign off from mine. I thought I had done it and now it's Back. I don't want FACEBOOK

Feral Finster's avatar

Thank Bastet i never downloaded or used their app.

Feral Finster's avatar

My account was suspended for allegedly being Russian.

I decided that it was good riddance being shed of FB.

JennyStokes's avatar

oh.............Maybe I should write more about Russians.

elena the red's avatar

They took mine a few years ago for talking about history. I still have my Cats account which I use now

Shelagh D's avatar

The hardest part is losing contact with most of my friends and family

The Revolution Continues's avatar

Yeah, that's the only reason I still go anywhere near FB. I can't get anyone in my family to send me a direct email or phone call or anything but a FB post or message. There is an alternative that my aunt is on called "Grandpad" that is like Facebook, only it's private just for your family and friends. I only can access it on an Android app, however.

George McFetridge's avatar

Make no mistake; substack is surveillance also.

The Revolution Continues's avatar

Agreed. They don't seem to promote or help out those of us who write more "non-conformist" blogs here on Substack.

Tricia Cassel-Gerard's avatar

How many times do we have to say this stuff? It’s exhausting.

Paul Vonharnish's avatar

Hello Tricia. Yup. Not really "exhausting". Yet redundant, childish, parochial, and plainly stupid. No functional *remedy* are ever offered. Alternate media terrorism at best.

More important than ever that the search for justice continues! The work that the Hind Rajab Foundation is doing to track down and bring Israeli criminals to justice is one that is vital in the effort to hold Israel accountable.  Let us hope they will also turn their sights on the criminal leaders of the countries of the west who are co-perpetrators of these crimes.

Find out what they’re doing here:

The least we can do is donate to help them:

The issue is simple to describe. Israel is at war with the rest of the world, and, as Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" states, "war is based on deception."

Jon Olsen's avatar

Exactly so Caitlin. Conflating the two is profoundly and deliberately dishonest.You nail it here:

"This is crazy, hysterical bullshit, and it should be treated as such."

Nana Baakan Agyiriwah's avatar

We are the wall, and government distractions are the crap they throw at us to see if it will stick. At this point in the cycle they have made a lot of crap stick. They’ve managed to throw at us, false flags, pandemics, terror, wars, boogiemen, political party disputes and whatever else their think tanks and strategists can think of just to keep us chasing our tails. Typically when this happens there is something much more serious, maybe even sinister taking place behind the scenes.

This current UFO fanfare is another distraction to divert our attention from the abysmal failure of the US-Israeli war against Iran and the rising fuel prices. They actually believe that if they take our eyes off the prices at the pump and move our eyes to lights in the sky, we won’t notice how rich the Trumpster and his party of criminals got at the expense of the entire globe.

They have tested the masses over and over again. They see us as useless eaters. They mobilize their prestitutes to do the work of gaining traction in perpetrating their fraudulent agenda. I wouldn’t be surprised if this UFO “revelation” is another tool in their toolbox to see just how gullible people are. I can only hope that this time the people will completely ignore this one and hold the Trumpster and his administration accountable for its ignoble crimes.

Just Sayn's avatar

Impeading freedom of speech is a hate crime. If no one had to worry about government censorship, tracking, targeting then no one would need online anonymity.. The Technocracy that is taking over the world will be Totalitarian beyond any imagination. It is the Only way to impose control.

elena the red's avatar

This whole piece is good but I quoted the last bit about conflating Zionism with Judaism to increase the hatred of Jews. In reading up on Zionism that was actually a goal of theirs to more closely bind the Jews with this hate filled master race Zionist ideology.

Yes an old goal of theirs Zionists was literally to increase the hatred of Jews…

Davina's avatar

And how they have managed to do just that. There are zionist jews just as there are Christian zionists, each as bad as the other and taken for a ride by an group we never hear about, whose whole aim is to rule the world, and they don't give a damn how they get to that point, nor how many they kill to get there.

elena the red's avatar

Nice to see you don’t forget the more numerous “Christian” Zionists.

They’re all disgusting evil psychopaths

ennui_mcgee's avatar

Unfortunately, the effort to create the distinction between Zionist and Jew is doomed to fail. In the situation of global economic recession or the collapse of supply chains, people are going to equate the flag of Israel as the flag of Jews and respond accordingly. Israel has spent its ENTIRE existence creating that facade. It's only very recently that there is a sliver light between Zionism and Judaism in the mainstream. There is an active, underground neo-Nazi party in the United States trying to recruit people, USING THIS WAR WITH IRAN as a selling point. I think "Jews of conscience" really need to start identifying themselves as persons of conscience, because that'swhat they actually are. Governments aren't the only ones who know how to abuse social media.

Joy in HK fiFP's avatar

I’ve posted this from time to time in various platforms, but so far no takers.

Time for all those wonderful, principled American Jews, to sue the ADL for defamation, slander, libel, and unauthorized appropriation! Make the ADL have to admit publicly, with every statement, that they do not speak for all Jews.

Similarly for Australia, UK, etc.

ennui_mcgee's avatar

Hell will freeze over before that happens.

Joy in HK fiFP's avatar

Since I don't believe in hell, I guess I might have a more optimistic view of this. I do think it's a big ask, not because there are people or organizations that might want to do it, but the price would be very high, and not just financially.

ennui_mcgee's avatar

It's less a big ask imho and more an impossibility. We will sooner hear Trump admit he lost 2020, is guilty of rape and pedophilia, and that he is losing the Iran War than see the Zionists change their ways.

I doubt it that Neo-Nazi is underground anymore, when 99.9% of both main parties are Neo-Nazi and are clearly out in the open.

This may be the first election cycle that I am not considering voting at all. Once that happens, I will be a non-voter for the rest of my life. The United States just needs to be broken up.

The Revolution Continues's avatar

But if the US is "broken up" won't that make like 50 or so separate little fascist countries? Is that a good solution to ridding the world of fascism? I feel safer knowing there are other states other than the one I reside in that aren't quite as MAGA, but they're still neo-liberal nightmares, so I do see your point. (I say vote third party, independents, write-in names, or leave the candidate elections blank and just vote on the state and local issues. That's what I just did in the recent "primary" election since they won't recognize the Green Party as a party in my state.)

Patrick Powers's avatar

If the USA were broken up the states would just go to war with one another. That was the main reason for the Civil War : they knew if the South broke away and got established they'd have the endless cycle of war that so many had left Europe to get away from.

Eddie's avatar

It doesn't have to end up as 50 or separate little fascist countries. Creating new countries will require us to build things from the ground up, which means we don't have to (and we shouldn't) include fascism.

The Revolution Continues's avatar

But if we repeat the US experiment over again even on a smaller sclae that's what we'll get--more fascism. We must end capitalism once and for all or else we'll get more of these "corporate-state mergers" like Mussolini defined the term.
