Here's another disgusting tidbit. Just tonight, Scott Ritter, reminding viewers about "the vindictive nature of the US government" and the "bad people" that populate it, opines that should the ICC issue a similar warrant for Biden et al., there's always the possibility of some direct US action against the ICC judges. If we had to, Ritter speculates that we'd send a Delta force to drag the judges from their homes with their families and haul them to the US to incarcerate them. In other worlds, put no absurd action beyond the menacing bully empire to fend off its critics or the critics of its holy Israel.
Ever noticed that the ones pushing for war look like they never been in a fistfight before? Ironically, and I say this tragically, ex-afghan veterans whom all have seen the horrors of war are begging congress to stop it?
Shout out that vitriol, Jenny because I'm feeling it too. I must be a bad man because when I saw that clip, I wanted to see a large poisonous tropical snake fall out of the overstory and plant a fatal bite on Scranton Joe's face.
We're all tired, Jenny; it goes on and on and it sucks because we're such powerless voyeurs. Whether Joe knows his animals or not (his mind might well be retreating toward toddler-hood), he's nonetheless directly participating in their extinction -- Even just through the immense enviro- pollution of armies and wars, so he's killing the rainforest anyway, as we all know, watching it disappear hectare by hectare. It might however be worse in the UK with a "sentient" being, Starmer, who seems hell bent on provoking Russia and obliterating us all; I was just listening to Max Blumenthal interviewing Craig Murray (in Lebanon) on the Grayzone & Murray was talking about both his concern that there seems no stopping Israel in terms of its air force bombing Beirut etc. into Gaza-like rubble. Apparently, gulp, we need to hope that Trump won't tolerate that and will stop them. Groan. But Murray was also bemoaning how easily a journalist can get up ti FOURTEEN yrs under these new laws for praising Hamas or Hezbollah because they're formally classified as terrorist orgs. I mean WTF, UK? I thought I lived in the worst fascist country in the west
“Turn the guns on the autocracy before it’s too late”.
Violence begets violence. I’m not completely opposed to the idea, but has any violent revolution produced a peaceful reign?
It seems to me that if “we the millions” were to take unified action to shut down the machine, we could do so without blood on our hands. I believe that while violence may be easier and more immediately viscerally satisfying, in the long run it cannot produce the results we seek. If we have the numbers necessary for, and the capacity for peaceful self-rule, we also have the numbers and ability to peacefully shut down the machine. Unfortunately there are too many people blind to their manipulation by the machine. In the U.S., those people are virtually everyone who votes for either of the two corporate parties. We need to wake up a substantial number of them before true change is possible.
Right on, Jenny. No guns in this house, but I live in a city with lots of ex military and I know these folks are armed to the teeth. But what I call the Texas mentality {right next door] still reigns here. They think the enemies are coming either from outside (like Russia) or if inside, it's still the Commies/socialists. When Biden was in, it was the government, but with Trump's entrance, it'll go back to those other enemies. I swear that except for the hunters, most of these folks don't know why they own firearms, except it makes them feel safer from "intruders". Which means they'll end up shooting one of their neighbors. America is one giant chaos factory.
I keep saying supposedly anti-Semitic stuff in public and very loud at places like the grocery store and target hoping that I will get arrested but so far nobody has arrested me. When I’m standing in the checkout line I say stuff like:
- Israel and America are starving lots of people in Gaza. (Everyone in line agrees with me)
- Israel is burning families alive in tents in Gaza (people tell me that’s so bad and evil)
- Israel and America have bombed all of the hospitals and schools on Gaza. (Everyone is against that)
I’m not being arrested Because the anti Semitic charge is a scare tactic to terrorize college students and young professionals and members of Congress. Canary Mission is a crime against decent human beings.
And every single person who calls someone or something anti-Semitic is literally a douche bag.
But so far they don’t arrest old ladies so I keep making loud comments. These people are cowards.
The answer is what you are doing telling the truth I read a article the other day that the goal is become an American State. Giving Fortress America a foot hold in the middle East
Sad to think the price in blood of innocent women and children these world order extremists come up with to reach thir goals
Aleta, I LOVE IT! I frequently wear a keffiyeh in public ( you’d be surprised at how many people have no clue what it represents) and if someone gives me a dirty look, I blow them a kiss 😁
However if I’m actually confronted, they gonna feel my fists. I may be older but I’m still a badass cowgirl.
If you start getting a mass audiencwe, rest assured that you will be arrested on some pretext, *completely unrelated*, of course, to your sacred reights of free speech.
Maybe they will shoot me dead? As long as I'm good with God how can I complain - near-death and comma in 2006 - this is all gravy. Get out of this Satanic Hell-Hole filled with NPCs, demons, Witches .. but I would feel greedy if I was the only one, leaving you all behind to Suffer them and all the people programed to slowly torture you all.
Forgive me in advance, and those police. Repent and seek God.
Well I don’t blame Putin one little bit. America has effectively committed an act of war against Russia and quite honestly his response has been very mild, but very much to the point.
American politicians have gone completely insane and once Trump is inaugurated the violence committed by Israel will without doubt be aided and abetted even more by the U.S. than it is now.
In my mind, I silently thank Putin for his patient statesmanship just about every day. By comparison to Putin, our politicians are infantile, with completely undeveloped diplomatic abilities, having no business serving in a government "of and by the people".
Thanks, I'll read it in detail when I get a chance. For now, I'll just say that it's been my experience that most folks don't appreciate the power of a thousand million dollars -- much less, say, fifty thousand million dollars -- particularly in the hands of the Zionist cabal.
Putin and his Diplomat-Ambassador - puts all other nations I have seen to shame. That is old school.
We have nothing but Sick elites who's skills are lying, raping children, and burning neighbors houses down - and telling them, then laughing because he is God's Race and every one of us all are Palestinians that they will kill soon.
It’s not about «Putin». Russia is a country of tens of millions of people and lots of resources of their own. There’s no reason to believe that the majority of them would be interested in living under the thumb of the US, or being attacked constantly by it.
Unfortunately you are correct. There’s really only one thing that matters right now. The Americans and frankly all Western Civilians should be screaming like a bunch of caged howler monkeys.
It’s not just the civilians that have lost their survival instincts. This is just unthinkable.
My friend, we do have to agree with the sentiment : ) We in the u.s. have never been in touch as a whole, however, we are now so mentally ill people feel we were normal. With this statement from a General in u.s. military, " We are ready to fight and win a nuclear war" I assume means this nuclear war has been scheduled. I am not surprised many people in the u.s. believe nuclear war is winnable, it is NOT as you know. The whole mess all the way back to 2014 makes no sense other than cover for a failed financial system/Capitalism. I have been creating a list of tipping tips of no return. I walk with you.
It means the General has a bunker he can go to and survive the initial nuclear exchange on which most people would die. Of course he’d die shirk with the rest of whoever’s left afterwards in a radiation riddled plantet.
I doubt he believes what he said. Problem is mass public too stupid to what nuclear war actually means.
Just saw Fair Game, the film about the Valerie Plame affair. Joe Wilson is dead. Millions around the planet marched to raise bloody hell about the false flag invasion of Iraq based on false information, fake news. In Baton Rouge exxon - mobil sit fat and happy, pissing on the clean air and water acts. Salt water is creeping up the Miss River. Endangering the fresh water sources for cities in river front parishes. East Bank, West Bank. Our source is the southern hills aquifer. Incredible cleanest spring water from a 10s of thousand years irreplaceable resource. Severe drought and climate destruction known by these monsters from their own research. They will never stop. So we must stop them. The entire world sees the genocide in Gaza. Everyone with a cel phone follows. Murdering babies???
My christian friend says all Palestinians are terrorists, including children, snd should be killed. She did not fall for the covid scam. I know her well. I am shocked and cannot reach her. Well played that Scofield Bible.
But Caitlin, surely Israel and the USA will also condemn the ICC arrest warrants out on the Hamas leader and Putin as well. If the ICC is corrupt then the warrant for Putin must fail. If the ICC is anti-Semitic then the warrant against a Hamas member, a Palestinian Semite, must fail. Logic, right?
The US doesn't believe in LOGIC or LAWS or RULES - it ONLY believes in "Might is Right". I would love to see what happens to the US when it is NOT on the top of the ladder anymore...
Even if the demonstration in Ukraine has the desired effect, the response will be that NATO simply sponsors asymmetic attacks, terrorism, for instance, and then play stupid about who is training, sponsoring and harboring those terrorists.
I doubt they are intelligent enough not to want open warfare to inflate their egos. While they definitely use clandestine methods of terrorism and unrest they have to have open conflict to feed their narcissism.
No , logic is not appropriate when the US , acting on behalf of Israel , is doing something . If Israel or its greatest ally wants to do something then it is blessed by God and so logic is irrelevant .
As the world turns Netanyahu, I wonder when the USA and its allies will turn on them and blame him for the genocide which is becoming more clear to more people. It makes me wonder how much western support Hitler had during WWII before his side started losing.
WWII, not WWI and Hitler had lots of support in the US to the end. It was Russia that defeated Germany in the end with US help. This country was too busy getting German scientists out to build weapons for us. The US space program was built by Wernher Von Braun and the German V2 team.
And the first general la who led NATO were…..generals from hitler’s army.
No more should need to be said about what NATO is actually for. But if you want to see white supremacy in numerical accounting, here it is: https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/costs
They had a lot in WW ll... US investors were instrumental in building and financing Hitlers war machine. The Dulles brothers and many other corporate entities were complicit in backing Hitler. They were hoping Russia and Germany would beat each other to a pulp and they would walk in take over . In too many ways what is happening now is a sequel to WW ll... it never really ended it just changed venues. Hitler was defeated but fascism lives on.
I always wondered because the relentless diet of anti - German war films in my long ago youth gave the impression that the whole world was always against Hitler because he was evil incarnate and not political (a bad word in the UK !) . It took years before history was taught with more complexity or even recognition that Europe was a bit more varied !
CJ>>"The United States is run by demented zealots with nukes, just like Israel."
YES! VERY TRUE!! It's NOT about race or skin color (white/black/yellow/brown/whatever) or religion (Judaism/Islam/Christianity/Hinduism/whatever). It's utter madness, ruthlessness, power, control, money, CAPITALISM.
The US is the Top Head of this monstrous Multi-Headed HYDRA that must be put to sleep/coma/etc. if humanity is to progress and move forward (instead of backwards and regress into complete dystopia).
And thank God for Internet and technology that is allowing information flow in real time 24hours a day so we could bypass the MSM propaganda (if one chooses to unplug from the Matrix)
I shudder to think what Israel would have done to Gaza and others if we didn't have the means to closely watch their atrocities as we do now, it doesn't bear thinking
And I feel the greatest mistake the US Empire made was creating the smartphone and the internet as without those capabilities, they would most likely have continued ruling us for decades or centuries more... In the end, it is their greed for exploiting everything under the Sun that has led to their downfall and may D Gods be Praised for that..👁️
What people do not realize, is that Israel will do to anyone what they do to the people in Gaza and Lebanon, and Syria... if they get in the way of Israel. Imagine if the "Promised Land" was in Iowa.... how many Americans there would now be bombed out of their homes and schools so the chosen people could have their way.
Most Americans, especially Christians, have no idea how much they are hated and despised, especially Christians, by Israel/Israelis. The irony is so, so thick.
People will pursue power and control with or without capitalism. If you consider capitalism to be fundamentally flawed (as opposed to corrupted) what would you replace it with?
>>"People will pursue power and control with or without capitalism"
Yes, I agree - those aren't unique to Capitalism.
>>"What would I replace Capitalism with?"
Anything that is NOT WORSE than Capitalism, and also something that is NOT Capitalism (which is exploitation, imperialism, colonialism, subersive rule by the minority over the majority). Probably some variety of Socialism. Actually, multiple varieties of Socialism. I say MULTIPLE because it is never a "one size fits all" solution. There is too much variety in human geography and physical geography for ANY ONE "rigid" system to pretend to be the ULTIMATE solution. Different forms of Socialism will have to be EXPERIMENTED with in different places all over the world (without Capitalist Terrorists trying to subvert experiments in alternate forms of Socialism).
Also, some system that places IMPORTANCE on the RESOURCES of the planet - the environment, ecology, biodiversity, climate, land, oceans. Currently, Capitalism exploits all these earthly resources for the sake of "profit" and "economic growth" that serves only a small minority of the human population at the expense of others and the planet.
Maybe some blend of a RESOURCE-BASED ECONOMY with SOCIALISM ? Again, experimentation and trial-and-error is of vital importance.
What you are talking about is a control system. A system that exerts control over the individual to create the society you (or someone else) believe is best for everyone else. Capitalism is based on the rights of the individual: the right to own property and trade that property freely - exploitation, imperialism etc is not a feature of capitalism but of human nature/human society. Terrorism is quite independant of the right to own & trade property, as are the other problems you arbitrarily attribute to capitalism. Every social system is imperfect but only one is built on the premise that an adult has the right to live freely and independently if they respect the same rights of others. The biggest problems begin when individuals are told what they can and can't do, where a minority at the top dictate to the rest of society 'for their own good'. Controlled societies have resulted in the worst atrocities in history, the tighter the control the worse the poverty, death, & suffering. And that is what you are advocating - top-down forced control of society. I support your right to live however you wish, experiment all you like, but I oppose anyone that assumes to dictate what I can own or buy, or how I live. Unfortunately I think your vague & ill-defined 'socialism' will be forced on us all regardless, and you will see for yourself that even our corrupted debased capitalism is a dream in comparison.
I don’t mean to be mean but this sounds very much like a child telling its parents, “You’re not the boss of me.” Capitalism is most certainly not about freedom for the vast majority of people, it never was and was never intended to be. Socialism is an ideal that, as Chang says, must be flexible, always changing, and cognizant of peoples’ right to live, have food, have housing, etc. Essentially, it’s about adults learning to live together peacefully, to care for one another, to share what the planet has provided, and to care for the planet. So, no one wants to be “the boss of you”, but you don’t get to be the exploiter of them either.
"this sounds very much like a child telling its parents, “You’re not the boss of me.” "
This is because you are assuming the perspective of a nanny. You may not admit it but you are arguing for a (global) control system (aka Orwell's 'Big Brother', a 'nanny state') and infantilizing the subjects might be a useful tactic, but does not change the power dynamic. And if no-one wants to be the boss of me, as you put it, then you aren't describing socialism. The system you imagine requires a benevolent dictator (or it's equivalent) - this will never come, never has, never will, and will only lead to something much darker than capitalism as it always has.
socialism indeed requires a dictatorship of the majority (or 'democracy' as some would call it) as opposed to all the other dictatorships that occur when the majority is not dictating.
Capitalism is not about individual rights - it is about controlling everything to enable the free movement of capital . Arguably , given human nature it is difficult to stop human attempts at control of such movement which usually start as accumulation .
You are misrepresenting my position - capitalism is founded on property rights. The rights of an individual or person to own property. There is no capitalism without such rights.
The worst system we have except for everything else.
'Controlling everything'? 'Free movement'? It wasn't the local business association that had my region locked down in 2020/21, it was my socialist government. 'For the greater good' right? THAT certainly wasn't about my individual rights.
Sorry if I misunderstood your position . Individual rights exist in theory but in practice quickly become about competition for accumulation - which then leads to trying to rig the system to get ahead . This can be individual or corporate . It is very difficult to make people do anything - whether egalitarian or corporate if they have any chance of doing something else ! I am not a socialist as most people understand the term and I have lived thru' various failures of supposedly Socialist governments . Actually I am libertarian aka anarchist and so don't fit in to most categorization .
i'd say capitalism today is a control system from the perspective of the majority of people. it is a system that exerts control over most individuals to create a society a minority of capitalists believe is best for themselves. individual rights (of the majority - who grants them?) are subordinate to the profit motive and individual rights of a small minority. exploitation (of (human) resources) is inherent to the profit motive and infinite growth requires imperialism in the final stages. there are/were humans and societies without blatant exploitation and imperialism. 'other problems' occur in a world that is extremely dominated by capitalism, at least there is lots of correlation. capitalism has little to do with the individual right to live freely and independently. in today's capitalism a minority at the top dictates to the rest of the world not only what they can do, but also what they believe and are. gaza and the last 200 years of wars and colonialism are examples of atrocities under tight capitalistic control. that is what you are advocating - top-down control of society. capitalism now dictates what the majority of people (if not all) will want, can own or buy and how they live. it is very much possible that 'socialism' (working together) will again be the only alternative to emerge from the ruins following the collapse of late stage capitalism.
i'd kinda agree with that. imo, the best way to avoid the emergence of corruption is to avoid decisive power concentration and institute as much of transparancy as possible.
I would guess >5% of the American public are paying any attention to the two wars or have any idea of the history that lead up to either or any real interest in finding out. That’s the payoff of years of propaganda about how evil Putin is and he invaded Ukraine because he’s evil and no other reason. Many believe Gaza is about “ancient animosity” when it’s a blatant land grab and all the cooked -up drama about the election has kept it off the news. These are well educated people I’m talking about— degrees, jobs, the works.
They are not well 'educated', they are merely 'well schooled'. The only way you can be 'educated' is to challenge what university Professors tell you (not saying they are wrong, just ensuring that the logic used is correct); certainly assume that the media is lying to you for breakfast, lunch and dinner; and never equating status, wealth and power with wisdom.
Re. the Cotton tweet, when an entire nation has been programmed for decades to canonize and worship militarism, guns, and violence nothing else can be expected of it and its leaders. Savagery and barbarism is ingrained in its DNA. The AIPAC bribes, also, had its intended results.
Yes it does. The psychology of it. As the old saw goes, you can know someone by the company they keep. It disturbs and induces a curiosity as to how that consciousness evolved….in the citizenry. Long percolating distrust poisons making reactive responses more likely than creative ones. And distrust seems always born of some kind of betrayal, a promise made and never made good.
The situation reminds me of the Cuban Missile Crisis, which turned out to be an inflection point in the Cold War -- people had to ask themselves if they really wanted the actual consequences of nuclear war, and it became politically difficult to carry on as usual in the US and elsewhere. Of course, we in the US no longer have much of a democracy left, as the Biden-Harris clown show demonstrated, so it's hard to tell. But there might be something.
At first I was skeptical of Russia using an ICBM in Ukraine as I never saw the strategy of a demonstration the graphically shows how indefensible these weapons are. Maybe it will shock enough of the right people to force them into peace talks. Given the intelligence of the war hawks in Washington I am not too optimistic.
Then, we can expect you to be joining that peace rally in December. Let there be millions saying "no" to nuclear war, "no to genocide," and "no" to cutting off the future for you (and all of us).
Really like your analogy with the judge and the mass murderer. Very apt, as I live in a country ruled by a former “human rights lawyer”, who has backed Israel to the hilt.
Thanks for this letter-perfect commentary, Caitlin. Cotton = bast*ard...nuke 'im! (e.g., stick a tiny tactical nuke up his arse and light it up)
Viva Palestine! Prosecute Prime Monster Miliciewicz-cum-Netanyahu and make him and his entire effing Colonial Zionist ideology ACCOUNTABLE!. UNGA: Use your "Uniting for Peace" authority to engineer the expelling of BOTH the rogue/criminal Colonial Zionist Israel and the cravenly obedient USA from the United Nations!
"This is unsustainable. It cannot continue. One way or the other, all this madness is going to come to an end." That is the understatement of the day. I have spent a good part of today reading about people who have lost their jobs and had their careers destroyed for criticizing Israel. They have made people feel "uncomfortable" with their "antisemitic" comments. Next people are going to start feeling "uncomfortable" when they hear criticism of the US. Let's hope so.
Give your Senators and Congressional Reps hell for the repression of the right of free speech. Not just once or twice. Build a call to them into your daily day. Enlist your friends. It’s your government.

Congress could not care less.
I am sure they are concerned about the desires and contributions of their donors.
And the donors are at best indifferent.
I remember another dying Empire doing this stuff.
Didn't get them very far.
Here we are today.
Biden goes to Brazil and gives his little speech about how we need to preserve the 'rainforest!'
Ha.
From hundreds of reports.....the "Rainforest" came to him.
He stood on a stage/foliage probably in pots.
Then the 'handlers' lost track of him because he walked out the wrong way.
HOW DARE THIS GENOCIDAL MANIAC even be listened to.
Meanwhile he decides to BOMB the hell out of Russia.
Forget the rainforest.
PISSING mad.
Shout out that vitriol, Jenny because I'm feeling it too. I must be a bad man because when I saw that clip, I wanted to see a large poisonous tropical snake fall out of the overstory and plant a fatal bite on Scranton Joe's face.
I am SO tired VIN.
IF a monkey had jumped out of the tree can you imagine. ALL his minders with their guns would have shot the poor monkey instead of Joe Biden.
You must know that the 'terrorists' now are: Snakes and Monkeys
Come on USA: Shoot all the monkeys! (irony)
Does Biden even know what a real monkey looks like let alone a snake!
We're all tired, Jenny; it goes on and on and it sucks because we're such powerless voyeurs.

When it comes to fighting ...........I do not let go.
WE are millions of people against tyranny.
Millions against......how many 'deep state' morons?
I am getting older by the day BUT I want my Grandkids to have a life as well as all the other citizens in the World.
We have NO guns in France (except for the hunters) who kill out wildlife.
GET OFF YOUR FAT ARSES AMERICANS....why do you have guns except to kill children in school.
Turn the guns on the Autocracy before it's too late.

I hate the fact that they use the name of a very brave woman for this !

I am not surprised many people in the u.s. believe nuclear war is winnable, it is NOT as you know. The whole mess all the way back to 2014 makes no sense other than cover for a failed financial system/Capitalism. I have been creating a list of tipping tips of no return. I walk with you.
It means the General has a bunker he can go to and survive the initial nuclear exchange on which most people would die. Of course he’d die shirk with the rest of whoever’s left afterwards in a radiation riddled plantet.
I doubt he believes what he said. Problem is mass public too stupid to what nuclear war actually means.
Major cracks starting to show
Exactly.
Just saw Fair Game, the film about the Valerie Plame affair. Joe Wilson is dead. Millions around the planet marched to raise bloody hell about the false flag invasion of Iraq based on false information, fake news. In Baton Rouge exxon - mobil sit fat and happy, pissing on the clean air and water acts. Salt water is creeping up the Miss River. Endangering the fresh water sources for cities in river front parishes. East Bank, West Bank. Our source is the southern hills aquifer. Incredible cleanest spring water from a 10s of thousand years irreplaceable resource. Severe drought and climate destruction known by these monsters from their own research. They will never stop. So we must stop them. The entire world sees the genocide in Gaza. Everyone with a cel phone follows. Murdering babies???
My christian friend says all Palestinians are terrorists, including children, snd should be killed. She did not fall for the covid scam. I know her well. I am shocked and cannot reach her. Well played that Scofield Bible.
But Caitlin, surely Israel and the USA will also condemn the ICC arrest warrants out on the Hamas leader and Putin as well. If the ICC is corrupt then the warrant for Putin must fail. If the ICC is anti-Semitic then the warrant against a Hamas member, a Palestinian Semite, must fail. Logic, right?
The US doesn't believe in LOGIC or LAWS or RULES - it ONLY believes in "Might is Right". I would love to see what happens to the US when it is NOT on the top of the ladder anymore...
The little demonstration in Ukraine should be a loud and clear message that they are not on top.
Even if the demonstration in Ukraine has the desired effect, the response will be that NATO simply sponsors asymmetic attacks, terrorism, for instance, and then play stupid about who is training, sponsoring and harboring those terrorists.
I doubt they are intelligent enough not to want open warfare to inflate their egos. While they definitely use clandestine methods of terrorism and unrest they have to have open conflict to feed their narcissism.
Maybe not big enough ? Too subtle ?
Then they will complain endlessly about others breaking the rules.
My friend that day has come.
No , logic is not appropriate when the US , acting on behalf of Israel , is doing something . If Israel or its greatest ally wants to do something then it is blessed by God and so logic is irrelevant .
Well why would they do that? Hypocrisy is the name of the game for the Empire
As the world turns Netanyahu, I wonder when the USA and its allies will turn on them and blame him for the genocide which is becoming more clear to more people. It makes me wonder how much western support Hitler had during WWII before his side started losing.
WWII, not WWI and Hitler had lots of support in the US to the end. It was Russia that defeated Germany in the end with US help. This country was too busy getting German scientists out to build weapons for us. The US space program was built by Wernher Von Braun and the German V2 team.
Not to mention supplying support for both sides.
Operation Paperclip
And the first general la who led NATO were…..generals from hitler’s army.
No more should need to be said about what NATO is actually for. But if you want to see white supremacy in numerical accounting, here it is: https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/costs
They had a lot in WW ll... US investors were instrumental in building and financing Hitlers war machine. The Dulles brothers and many other corporate entities were complicit in backing Hitler. They were hoping Russia and Germany would beat each other to a pulp and they would walk in take over . In too many ways what is happening now is a sequel to WW ll... it never really ended it just changed venues. Hitler was defeated but fascism lives on.
I always wondered because the relentless diet of anti - German war films in my long ago youth gave the impression that the whole world was always against Hitler because he was evil incarnate and not political (a bad word in the UK !) . It took years before history was taught with more complexity or even recognition that Europe was a bit more varied !
They won't.
CJ>>"The United States is run by demented zealots with nukes, just like Israel."
YES! VERY TRUE!! It's NOT about race or skin color (white/black/yellow/brown/whatever) or religion (Judaism/Islam/Christianity/Hinduism/whatever). It's utter madness, ruthlessness, power, control, money, CAPITALISM.
The US is the Top Head of this monstrous Multi-Headed HYDRA that must be put to sleep/coma/etc. if humanity is to progress and move forward (instead of backwards and regress into complete dystopia).
I Concur a 💯✍🏼
And thank God for Internet and technology that is allowing information flow in real time 24hours a day so we could bypass the MSM propaganda (if one chooses to unplug from the Matrix)
I shudder to think what Israel would have done to Gaza and others if we didn't have the means to closely watch their atrocities as we do now, it doesn't bear thinking
And I feel the greatest mistake the US Empire made was creating the smartphone and the internet as without those capabilities, they would most likely have continued ruling us for decades or centuries more... In the end, it is their greed for exploiting everything under the Sun that has led to their downfall and may D Gods be Praised for that..👁️
What people do not realize, is that Israel will do to anyone what they do to the people in Gaza and Lebanon, and Syria... if they get in the way of Israel. Imagine if the "Promised Land" was in Iowa.... how many Americans there would now be bombed out of their homes and schools so the chosen people could have their way.
Most Americans, especially Christians, have no idea how much they are hated and despised, especially Christians, by Israel/Israelis. The irony is so, so thick.
People will pursue power and control with or without capitalism. If you consider capitalism to be fundamentally flawed (as opposed to corrupted) what would you replace it with?
>>"People will pursue power and control with or without capitalism"
Yes, I agree - those aren't unique to Capitalism.
>>"What would I replace Capitalism with?"
Anything that is NOT WORSE than Capitalism, and also something that is NOT Capitalism (which is exploitation, imperialism, colonialism, subersive rule by the minority over the majority). Probably some variety of Socialism. Actually, multiple varieties of Socialism. I say MULTIPLE because it is never a "one size fits all" solution. There is too much variety in human geography and physical geography for ANY ONE "rigid" system to pretend to be the ULTIMATE solution. Different forms of Socialism will have to be EXPERIMENTED with in different places all over the world (without Capitalist Terrorists trying to subvert experiments in alternate forms of Socialism).
Also, some system that places IMPORTANCE on the RESOURCES of the planet - the environment, ecology, biodiversity, climate, land, oceans. Currently, Capitalism exploits all these earthly resources for the sake of "profit" and "economic growth" that serves only a small minority of the human population at the expense of others and the planet.
Maybe some blend of a RESOURCE-BASED ECONOMY with SOCIALISM ? Again, experimentation and trial-and-error is of vital importance.
What you are talking about is a control system. A system that exerts control over the individual to create the society you (or someone else) believe is best for everyone else. Capitalism is based on the rights of the individual: the right to own property and trade that property freely - exploitation, imperialism etc is not a feature of capitalism but of human nature/human society. Terrorism is quite independant of the right to own & trade property, as are the other problems you arbitrarily attribute to capitalism. Every social system is imperfect but only one is built on the premise that an adult has the right to live freely and independently if they respect the same rights of others. The biggest problems begin when individuals are told what they can and can't do, where a minority at the top dictate to the rest of society 'for their own good'. Controlled societies have resulted in the worst atrocities in history, the tighter the control the worse the poverty, death, & suffering. And that is what you are advocating - top-down forced control of society. I support your right to live however you wish, experiment all you like, but I oppose anyone that assumes to dictate what I can own or buy, or how I live. Unfortunately I think your vague & ill-defined 'socialism' will be forced on us all regardless, and you will see for yourself that even our corrupted debased capitalism is a dream in comparison.
I don’t mean to be mean but this sounds very much like a child telling its parents, “You’re not the boss of me.” Capitalism is most certainly not about freedom for the vast majority of people, it never was and was never intended to be. Socialism is an ideal that, as Chang says, must be flexible, always changing, and cognizant of peoples’ right to live, have food, have housing, etc. Essentially, it’s about adults learning to live together peacefully, to care for one another, to share what the planet has provided, and to care for the planet. So, no one wants to be “the boss of you”, but you don’t get to be the exploiter of them either.
"this sounds very much like a child telling its parents, “You’re not the boss of me.” "
This is because you are assuming the perspective of a nanny. You may not admit it but you are arguing for a (global) control system (aka Orwell's 'Big Brother', a 'nanny state') and infantilizing the subjects might be a useful tactic, but does not change the power dynamic. And if no-one wants to be the boss of me, as you put it, then you aren't describing socialism. The system you imagine requires a benevolent dictator (or it's equivalent) - this will never come, never has, never will, and will only lead to something much darker than capitalism as it always has.
socialism indeed requires a dictatorship of the majority (or 'democracy' as some would call it) as opposed to all the other dictatorships that occur when the majority is not dictating.
Capitalism is not about individual rights - it is about controlling everything to enable the free movement of capital . Arguably , given human nature it is difficult to stop human attempts at control of such movement which usually start as accumulation .
You are misrepresenting my position - capitalism is founded on property rights. The rights of an individual or person to own property. There is no capitalism without such rights.
The worst system we have except for everything else.
'Controlling everything'? 'Free movement'? It wasn't the local business association that had my region locked down in 2020/21, it was my socialist government. 'For the greater good' right? THAT certainly wasn't about my individual rights.
Sorry if I misunderstood your position . Individual rights exist in theory but in practice quickly become about competition for accumulation - which then leads to trying to rig the system to get ahead . This can be individual or corporate . It is very difficult to make people do anything - whether egalitarian or corporate if they have any chance of doing something else ! I am not a socialist as most people understand the term and I have lived thru' various failures of supposedly Socialist governments . Actually I am libertarian aka anarchist and so don't fit in to most categorization .
i'd say capitalism today is a control system from the perspective of the majority of people. it is a system that exerts control over most individuals to create a society a minority of capitalists believe is best for themselves. individual rights (of the majority - who grants them?) are subordinate to the profit motive and individual rights of a small minority. exploitation (of (human) resources) is inherent to the profit motive and infinite growth requires imperialism in the final stages. there are/were humans and societies without blatant exploitation and imperialism. 'other problems' occur in a world that is extremely dominated by capitalism, at least there is lots of correlation. capitalism has little to do with the individual right to live freely and independently. in today's capitalism a minority at the top dictates to the rest of the world not only what they can do, but also what they believe and are. gaza and the last 200 years of wars and colonialism are examples of atrocities under tight capitalistic control. that is what you are advocating - top-down control of society. capitalism now dictates what the majority of people (if not all) will want, can own or buy and how they live. it is very much possible that 'socialism' (working together) will again be the only alternative to emerge from the ruins following the collapse of late stage capitalism.
The extent to which the system has become controlling, is proportional to the extent to which it has been corrupted.
i'd kinda agree with that. imo, the best way to avoid the emergence of corruption is to avoid decisive power concentration and institute as much of transparancy as possible.
Well, we have lived with a vague and undefined capitalism for 300 (?) years and how is that working out for you?
I would guess >5% of the American public are paying any attention to the two wars or have any idea of the history that lead up to either or any real interest in finding out. That’s the payoff of years of propaganda about how evil Putin is and he invaded Ukraine because he’s evil and no other reason. Many believe Gaza is about “ancient animosity” when it’s a blatant land grab and all the cooked -up drama about the election has kept it off the news. These are well educated people I’m talking about— degrees, jobs, the works.
They are not well 'educated', they are merely 'well schooled'. The only way you can be 'educated' is to challenge what university Professors tell you (not saying they are wrong, just ensuring that the logic used is correct); certainly assume that the media is lying to you for breakfast, lunch and dinner; and never equating status, wealth and power with wisdom.
Giving up honesty, integrity and honor cuts off all access to wisdom,.
Re. the Cotton tweet, when an entire nation has been programmed for decades to canonize and worship militarism, guns, and violence nothing else can be expected of it and its leaders. Savagery and barbarism is ingrained in its DNA. The AIPAC bribes, also, had its intended results.
Cotton is just a jerk. You expect him to say and do looney stuff.
Unfortunately quite a lot of people must have voted for him. Says a lot, doesn't it?
Yes it does. The psychology of it. As the old saw goes, you can know someone by the company they keep. It disturbs and induces a curiosity as to how that consciousness evolved….in the citizenry. Long percolating distrust poisons making reactive responses more likely than creative ones. And distrust seems always born of some kind of betrayal, a promise made and never made good.
Well, Rhys, consider where he’s from… 😆
The criminality of the Biden Administration knows no limits .
Scott Ritter is organizing a peace rally for Washington in the first week of December and every peace loving American should be there .
Watch both of these very important videos:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xlw_zp5cF_4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPJmh_bAxlA
Hi Robert
Judge Nap has agreed to be there as well, per invitation by Scott.
That resolutions vote was groundbreaking. I've never seen 18 Senators vote against Israel. Next time even more.
The situation reminds me of the Cuban Missile Crisis, which turned out to be an inflection point in the Cold War -- people had to ask themselves if they really wanted the actual consequences of nuclear war, and it became politically difficult to carry on as usual in the US and elsewhere. Of course, we in the US no longer have much of a democracy left, as the Biden-Harris clown show demonstrated, so it's hard to tell. But there might be something.
At first I was skeptical of Russia using an ICBM in Ukraine as I never saw the strategy of a demonstration the graphically shows how indefensible these weapons are. Maybe it will shock enough of the right people to force them into peace talks. Given the intelligence of the war hawks in Washington I am not too optimistic.
How does anyone the motivation to keep going while watching humanity march itself to nuclear war?
I'm too young to have lived a full life, and I don't want to die just yet. I hope humanity comes to its senses before it's too late.
I have been hoping for such a human waking since I was 10 . I am now 71 .
The call up all yourSenators and Congressional reps and give them hell. This is your government even if it doesn’t feel like it.
Did so, Selina!
Then, we can expect you to be joining that peace rally in December. Let there be millions saying "no" to nuclear war, "no to genocide," and "no" to cutting off the future for you (and all of us).
Really like your analogy with the judge and the mass murderer. Very apt, as I live in a country ruled by a former “human rights lawyer”, who has backed Israel to the hilt.
Thanks for this letter-perfect commentary, Caitlin. Cotton = bast*ard...nuke 'im! (e.g., stick a tiny tactical nuke up his arse and light it up)
Viva Palestine! Prosecute Prime Monster Miliciewicz-cum-Netanyahu and make him and his entire effing Colonial Zionist ideology ACCOUNTABLE!. UNGA: Use your "Uniting for Peace" authority to engineer the expelling of BOTH the rogue/criminal Colonial Zionist Israel and the cravenly obedient USA from the United Nations!
"This is unsustainable. It cannot continue. One way or the other, all this madness is going to come to an end." That is the understatement of the day. I have spent a good part of today reading about people who have lost their jobs and had their careers destroyed for criticizing Israel. They have made people feel "uncomfortable" with their "antisemitic" comments. Next people are going to start feeling "uncomfortable" when they hear criticism of the US. Let's hope so.
Give your Senators and Congressional Reps hell for the repression of the right of free speech. Not just once or twice. Build a call to them into your daily day. Enlist your friends. It’s your government.
