Israel's complete lack of respect for international law, for human decency, for people in general and how they have responded to anyone who dares to criticize or disagree with what they are doing makes these kinds of analyses of what happened back in November of 1963 much more believable. Previously, I would have wondered. Now, not very much at all.
"Stop and think about this for a moment: What are the chances that three J men—out of a city where J made up barely two percent of the population—just happened to be the key players in every critical act surrounding JFK’s assassination?
There’s Julius Schepps, the Dallas businessman and philanthropist who helped extend the invitation that dragged Kennedy right into the lion’s den of Texas political hostility. Then Abraham Zapruder, the dressmaker who just happened to carry a rare 8mm camera, climb on a concrete pedestal, and record the most damning footage of a presidential murder in history—right down to the fatal headshot. And finally, Jack Ruby, born Jacob Rubenstein, a mob-connected nightclub owner with deep ties to Dallas law enforcement, who took it upon himself to murder Lee Harvey Oswald live on national TV."
well said Ms. Van Eyk. I guess the occupiers' influence isn't considered foreign or nearly as harmful as that of the former USSR. Appalling double standards
No surprise who owns who as the list of journalists in the alternative media have been repeatedly saying for some time now that Israel is the tail that wags the US dog. The US does as Israel says with money given to Israel from US taxpayers. If you go against Israel's wishes, they will do their best after the vetting process to fund another candidate.
And yes, it is widely known that the Israel Lobby patrols the halls of congress making sure candidates who are up for reelection are Pro Israel.
We start wars on Israel's behalf. Most recently, Israel starts war with Iran, Iran bloodies Israel's nose, then Israel gets the US to bomb Iran. Do we need more proof that Israel wags the US? This has been going on for decades.
Yes we need more proof than that! The proxy war with Russia is on behalf of Israel (an entity entirely dependent on the US)? The pivot to China and regime change in the Phillipines, Nepal and Indonesia? The independence movements in Taiwan and 'democracy' in Venezuela? What has all this to do with a tiny country of Europeans being used as a punch bag to incite war with Iran that has long been planned by US think tanks for decades?
The Empire's core business and focus is creating chaos, violence, murders, regime change and wars. That's what it's good at. Israel knows that and uses it to their advantage.
And I will take the info from former intelligence officers, government officials and people who have access to those sources that Israel wags the US. So I don't need more proof as it is already evident with Trump giving his biggest donor, Miriam Adelson a medal and wanting to pardon BeeBee Nutten-Yahoo.
Perhaps you need more proof. I sure as hell don't!
Today, on the radio, on tv, and in the press, we have been presented dozens of stories of the emotion that greeted the release of the 20 living Israel hostages. We saw cheering, tears, celebration, and we only then remembered that there were hundreds of Palestinians also released, many held as hostages without charges or due process, and that there was not one story of the joy of the families that greeted their fathers, brothers, in some cases, wives who had been arrested without an legal status. Zero.
Is it that the media only thinks Israelis are human, full of grief and joy, that their tears and glee are the only ones worth our attention? I was sickened by this display of media happiness for the Israelis and the total ignoring of the hundreds of Palestinians returning to their families, equally overjoyed, equally human.
This is the asymmetry of war: the enemy must be dehumanized, either labeled a savage, an animal, or something we feel justified in exterminating...or ignored, unseen, as tho his existence were unworthy of being noted.
This is not journalism, the reporting of what actually happens This is a form of propaganda, which grants humanity to only one side in a conflict, deeming the other side, too unimportant to even notice.
And so among the happy cheers and laughter and joy and emotion that is blanketing the media today, I am sharing my joy with the Palestinians liberated, with their families, and my tears are for a media which is not reporting the fact but cheerleading the release of a small group of hostages, as though it were rooting for the home team. this is not journalism; this is a subtle form of propaganda.
On the same day, as Hamas delivered only 4 dead bodies, with the rest either in the hands of other groups or leeching rotting in the rubble, killed by Israeli bombs, Israeli has already begun it sabotage of the "peace" agreement, accusing Hamas of violating the agreement by not returning all the dead hostages, setting up their case that Hamas had sabotaged the peace arrangement in preparation, now that hostages are home and public pressure on the war mongers is off, to resume the genocide, blaming Hamas and with Trump, who is a servant of the Adelsons, a hired gun, giving his approval.
I hope I am wrong but given the irreconcilable differnences about Hamas disarming, it is virtually certain Israel will use this as a justification to resume military action, having retreated not out of Gaza but still in control of the majority of the region with tanks, machine guns, and bombs ready to use as soon as the blame is fixed on Hamas for not disarming, which hit never agreed to and has said it will only do when Israel recognizes Palestine as a state in a two state solution, which Netanyahu and his band of murderers have opposed for many decades. The Peace plan, which is called this despite the war crimes of Israel occupying Gaza and its naval blockade, is about to hit a brick wall, and that will be the signal, once Trump signs on, which as a pawn of the Adelsons, he will, to "finish the job." That is my prediction, the logic that the current disagreement about arms and the Zionist endgame leads to, and my fear, tho I wish I were wrong.
But I would wager I am not. This is no peace agreement; it bails out the Zionist regime from public anger with the hostages released, and it sets up a justification , to resume the genocide.
Rearrested. Perhaps murdered. Trying to hide the fact that these kidnapped Palestinian souls had been violently abused while in isrehells dungeons. Vile racist double standards. Online fascist isrehell trolls and MSM are just as guilty as the idf cowards and thugs.
Good point: allow me to cut and paste the documented truth of that..............
No public celebrations allowed:
Released Palestinians are often told not to wave flags, chant, gather, or give speeches. Israel views these as “incitement” or “support for terrorism.”
In prisoner exchanges, like the Shalit deal (2011) and the ceasefire exchanges (2023–2024), Israel attached written or verbal conditions: no rallies, no public appearances, no political activity.
Re-arrests for celebrations:
Rights groups (e.g. Addameer, B’Tselem, Human Rights Watch) have reported cases where people were re-arrested within days or weeks for participating in welcome-home parades or posting about their release online.
Israeli police have raided homes and neighborhoods in East Jerusalem and the West Bank to shut down celebrations, confiscating flags and detaining participants.
Example: In 2022, Israeli forces broke up a homecoming celebration for Jerusalem prisoner Maher al-Akhras, detaining multiple people and removing banners and flags.
Legal basis:
Israel justifies this using “security grounds” — specifically, Article 144 of the Israeli Penal Code (prohibiting “incitement to terrorism”) and military orders in the West Bank that allow re-detention under “administrative detention” — meaning no trial, no charge, renewable every 6 months." So celebrating the release of your mother, who was held without charges, is and "incitement to terrorism." I would say, prohibiting that celebration is an act of terrorism.
Was not, is not, "a war." War occurs when BOTH sides are reasonably equipped with weapons at a degree of parity. Have you noticed Gaza is literally flattened? Nope. Continue with the fantasy. Israyhell has been torturing Palestinians since the 1940s. Why? Because they are "special." "Special" ONLY to themselves. Have you not been reading Caitlyn for 2 years?
It's a conflict, if that word offends you. I usually call it a massacre, but there are armed troops on both sides so it is, by definition, also a war. Wars are often asymettrical. I have been denouncing Israeli genocide for since October 2023 and Israeli war crimes for 30 years. I do not live the fantasy you wish to accuse me of. I am saying that there are victims on both sides, and that is a fact. The fantasy would be there are victims only one one side. I am as anti-Zionist as it gets, my deluded critic. I am also the right wing fundamentalism of Hamas. Both sides have been betrayed by their rulers....creating victims on both sides.
Your claim that war is between equals is historically false: "War does not require parity
Wars often happen between sides with vastly unequal weaponry or resources.
Examples:
Conquistadors vs. Aztecs/Inca – Spanish had firearms, steel, horses; indigenous forces were far less equipped, yet large-scale war occurred.
Vietnam War – U.S. had overwhelming firepower; North Vietnamese had less technologically advanced weapons.
Guerilla/insurgency conflicts – asymmetric conflicts are common, and war occurs despite imbalance.
2. Parity affects outcomes, not occurrence
Weapon parity might influence duration, intensity, or casualties, but it’s not a precondition for war.
Imbalance often leads to one side trying to avoid direct confrontation or relying on guerrilla tactics." History is full of wars of conquest in which a far superior force attacks a much weaker. Your lack of historical knowledge combined with your arrogance is sad to behold.
Just wondering though...how many churches did Palestine bomb? Hospitals? Doctors? Newborns? Whole families? Who sniper shot little kids in the head waiting in line for food? Again. No offense intended. But I can do without the mansplainin'...I have my own definition of "war." I dont need men to interpret it for me.
Idf cowards and thugs are just itching to renew their pathetic slaughter of innocent unarmed civilians. Blame Hamas for everything while critical thinkers know fully well that it's isrehells doing. Set up to fail. Idf cowards and its online fascist isrehell trolls just holding their collective foul breath for the massacres to begin anew
Put in power those who want to replace oligarchy, which thrives on war, with real democracy, take money out of politics, stop shipping arms to Israel, and work for the working class....that is a choice we have to support those committed to those goals. If you do not support them, you are helping the status quo stay in charge.
Good ideas — easier said than done. The poor and working class people need strong leadership to convince them that they vastly outnumber the billionaires, and that they don’t need the billionaires.
Soluton: support those who will vote to take money out of politics, those refusing to take Pac $. Don't just complain; join the movement to replace plutocarcy with democracy.
Miriam reminds me of this hag bitch in Brooklyn who always screamed at us when our stick-balls bounced in her driveway up against her precious garage door. She and Trump deserve each other.
Women in politics, Ursula, Kamala, Hilary, are referred to by their first not family name to highlight their female sex and to diminish and infantalize them.
To call her "clinton" would be to give her the last name of her husband who was unfaithful. Didn't she campaign with the "H" of "Hillary" and not the "C" of "Clinton"?
CJ>>"This is because mainstream western politics and media understand that we are living in an unofficial oligarchic empire to which both the US and Israel belong. They never acknowledge it, they never talk about it, but all high-level politicians, pundits and operatives in the western world understand that they serve a globe-spanning power structure run by a loose alliance of plutocrats and empire managers."
Mainstream Western politics and media never acknowledge the unofficial oligarchic empire because they have learned to live with it, being part of it beforehand and consequently they also are now among the beneficiaries. They have set their sights on all the anticipated next steps, easy to guess even after only 8 months of this narcissistic president of the USA.
Must make you all proud.
He is getting to be so readable. A little boy in a man's world. The USA is his new toy.....
next to golf.
Whereas the outlandish praise displayed in his grovelling homage to the Adelsons, both dead and alive, was not anticipated in my earlier offer on these pages to identify beforehand the likely content of his speech in the Knesset, one could be confident in thinking that a little more of a twist by the wrist of Netanyahu on the delicate parts of this bumbling and ludicrous buffoon may have been seen to be needed as well, capitalising on this hastily but well planned circus event. The last one being the 80th Anniverary of Auschwitz earlier this year. A PR special.
Who else would admit in public in the main room of the new Head Office of the United States of America, now called The Knesset, that his election was as the result of bribery and corruption........saying in effect to Adelson herself, "keep at it, baby. Come the the White House again, soon and I'll put on a big spread"
Taxpayer's cost, of course.
Must have missed the illegality of that kind of action in my reading of the Constitution.
News Flash!!! They are all equally corrupt. They just arrive with a different promise to end all of the corruption. The most recent example is Joe Bidet getting his crackhead son on the Ukrainian energy board. Then of course there's the alleged money from China to the Biden's.
Edit: And let's throw into the Joe Biden mix the book by his daughter Ashley Biden, who claims that she became "HIGHLY SEXUALIZED" at an early age. As she clams, she took inappropriate showers with DAD-DEE. "No honey, that's a soft lollipop, let me put some whip cream on it.
That bastard should have been in fucking jail but was protected because he was part of the establishment and a Senator. Then we have Trump who told Radio Jock, Howard Stern, he thought his daughter Ivanka was beautiful and he would date and do her.
Politicians are total fucking scumbags and don't forget Keir Starmer covering up his migrant rape gang in the UK.
Oh, and so much more. The corruption is long and deep. if you know the history that's been hidden from you. And if current history in the making tells you anything, Israel is trying to change our minds about what all of us witnessed. We are the United States of Israel.
Only, but not. My study is about religions and how one introduced usury and the other thinks it a sin. Imagine a world that didn't have interest on the dollar and one that does. One can easily see why a religion that finds interest to loans from your brothers and sisters a great threat to our current financial system. But then again, Muslims might imitate Jews and charge others who are not Muslims and thereby elevate their religion and operations the in world of finance to create an opposition to base of usury charging Western domination.
If you think that, then you fell for their "shell game", now you see it, now you don't. Those who reach the political summit of Mount Olympus are not naive choirboys. They have more skeletons in their closet than the local morgue.
People tend to fall for this guy is bad because I don't like him when the previous guys did stuff just as bad, they just had their handlers polishing their turd image.
Trump seems like the easiest person to own (by anybody that has enough money/resources). Just shower Trump with money (and apparently young girls), and he's owned by you.
Yes, and as that knowledge percolates through Trump's right-wing base it just might trigger a blow-back. When MAGA believers realize that their leader is actually wearing a MIGOE cap (Make Israel Great Over Everthing), there may be a wave of disillusionment and anger. If so, stand back because what comes out will not be Anti-Zionism but full-throated Anti-Semitism. It will be coarse, harsh, and ugly. And Trump is feeding it in every way.
If you know where he came from; his great grandfather in Alaska started a brothel. His relative was sent back to Germany, but Germany would not have him. Trumps historical relative, following the grifters in their family, went to Alaska during the gold mine era and started his wealth in trafficking women and alcohol. That's the source of his wealth along with buying up properties refusing to rent black people. His brother Fred Jr, was given a property to managed, and because the people in that property requested that Fred Jr. replace the windows to keep the cold of a New York winter out which Fred Jr was compassionate enough to listen to, Fred Sr. took that property management away from him. What happened to Fred Jr after that is a story yet to be told in full, but Fred Jr makes a great case, in my estimation, for the understanding of alcoholism every where. If you are not part of the grifters of our tax paying community, you are labeled as alcoholic, antisemitic, or too poor to know what effects you. One of the reasons, in my humble estimation of the genocide against Muslin nations is their religion that opposes usury, also known as charging interest to those who need a loan. Jews in total and not just Zionists are known to support their own with no interest. But when it comes to the goyim, on which the global banking system is upheld, interest is what makes them rich and powerful. When nations seek to own their own resources and make their own currency, the West is quick to step in and do a regime change in their favor; certainly not in favor of the people the west places sanctions on. However you feel about WWII Germany, what scared the hell out of usury demanding central banks was that Germany brought its country from the devastation of WWI in six short years to a powerhouse by minting their own currency and having their own banks. Hitler was actually on the front page of Time Magazine as Man of the Year for doing so.
What a wicked web we weave and how actual history has been denied.
Miriam Adelson, bored one day with shopping for whatever she fancied, decided to buy herself the president of the United States. So she headed to that boutique called The White House and satisfied her whim. Knock, knock. Is this where the great president of the "land of the free" lives? I've come to buy him and the country he claims to represent. And so it was. One more puppy for his collection. And that's how the United States became Genocidal Israel... The "Land of the Corrupt."
The reason dual loyalty, which is another phrase for disloyalty to America, is never questioned by the mainstream media is because said media is owned and controlled by Jewish Zionists. Trace the ownership of the most influential broadcast and print media and it becomes glaringly obvious. What doesn’t get reported is more important than what is actually covered, by far. I recall a passage from the Gospels about not being able to serve two masters. Dual citizenship is un-American and should be illegal.
"The only thing I like about Donald Trump is his infantile tendency to say the quiet part out loud."
It's his only strength. He acts like a toddler who can't keep a secret. And we need to know these secrets--we can't afford to stay in the dark any longer. We need to expose the oligarchs and shut down the empire. Yesterday.
President Trump is old. He's not well. This is the second term. He survived when a bullet grazed his ear. That makes him believe he has a God-given go-ahead to accomplish some undefined mission.
His base will explain away and forgive anything he does, putting it in the most favorable light. He is the dream come true, and any dirty reality isn't going to damage that belief! "There will never be another like him". "This is what I voted for". "I trust him". "That's OUR president!".
Put all of this together and he believes he can do anything. The sky is the limit. The imagination isn't expansive enough. The money-making opportunities are everywhere. And, yes, he can admit to anything and walk away smiling.
Well said, Wren. The wheel is indeed turning. The empire is looking like a cornered rat and lashing out in all directions at once. The US economy is looking like a very sick man propped up by corticosteroids. (See: P/E ratio) We are in a time of great churning and turning.
(Corticosteroids suppress inflammation and can mask deep infection. My father, an M.D. who attended medical school in the 1940s, said he was taught that a man with advanced blood poisoning could, with enough dosage of corticosteroids, feel well enough to walk himself to the morgue.)
How about someone having the courage to ask Congress people under oath in a hearing if their primary loyalty is to the US or Israel and banning the infamous "Israel pledge" they are asked to affirm?
Short version: the Adelsons, with Israel First, paid Trump half a billion to put Israel first and continue funding and arming the genocide. Even neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes is burned up about Trump putting America second! Time for the Night of the knives!
When is foreign interference not really foreign interference? When Israel does it and Trump brags about it. At least in Crazyland.

Calling them "Js" is a red flag, to be honest. Only see that used in communities that have opinions to hide.

Of course candidates have to be pro- US aircraft carrier in oil rich west asia and pro aggressive US attack dog proxy ready to fight Iran!
It's absurd to think that this means the tail wags the dog.

Consider the very few oligarchs who own the mass media.
Adelson owns Trump, by his own confession. Who owns the rest of the GOP and much of the DNC?
Congress has the legal and moral authority to remove Trump from office. What will Congress do?
Congress is not an organization with a united agenda but a combat zone. Democrats would 100% agree to remove Trump.
They are not in control. If you want to remove Trump, your choice is clear.
Please elaborate regarding that choice.
Put in power those who want to replace oligarchy, which thrives on war, with real democracy, take money out of politics, stop shipping arms to Israel, and work for the working class....that is a choice we have to support those committed to those goals. If you do not support them, you are helping the status quo stay in charge.

😜😜😜
Women in politics, Ursula, Kamala, Hilary, are referred to by their first not family name to highlight their female sex and to diminish and infantalize them.
Yes, but it also makes them seem more relatable.
To call her "clinton" would be to give her the last name of her husband who was unfaithful. Didn't she campaign with the "H" of "Hillary" and not the "C" of "Clinton"?
Greta also.
Yep, it's in the blood.
CJ>>"This is because mainstream western politics and media understand that we are living in an unofficial oligarchic empire to which both the US and Israel belong. They never acknowledge it, they never talk about it, but all high-level politicians, pundits and operatives in the western world understand that they serve a globe-spanning power structure run by a loose alliance of plutocrats and empire managers."
🎯💯 THIS!
Thank you Caitlin & Tim ❤️🙏
True, Chang.
Mainstream Western politics and media never acknowledge the unofficial oligarchic empire because they have learned to live with it, being part of it beforehand and consequently they also are now among the beneficiaries. They have set their sights on all the anticipated next steps, easy to guess even after only 8 months of this narcissistic president of the USA.
Must make you all proud.
He is getting to be so readable. A little boy in a man's world. The USA is his new toy.....
next to golf.
Whereas the outlandish praise displayed in his grovelling homage to the Adelsons, both dead and alive, was not anticipated in my earlier offer on these pages to identify beforehand the likely content of his speech in the Knesset, one could be confident in thinking that a little more of a twist by the wrist of Netanyahu on the delicate parts of this bumbling and ludicrous buffoon may have been seen to be needed as well, capitalising on this hastily but well planned circus event. The last one being the 80th Anniverary of Auschwitz earlier this year. A PR special.
Who else would admit in public in the main room of the new Head Office of the United States of America, now called The Knesset, that his election was as the result of bribery and corruption........saying in effect to Adelson herself, "keep at it, baby. Come the the White House again, soon and I'll put on a big spread"
Taxpayer's cost, of course.
Must have missed the illegality of that kind of action in my reading of the Constitution.
Still, in America, anything goes.
Trump is easily the most corrupt president we've ever had.
News Flash!!! They are all equally corrupt. They just arrive with a different promise to end all of the corruption. The most recent example is Joe Bidet getting his crackhead son on the Ukrainian energy board. Then of course there's the alleged money from China to the Biden's.
Edit: And let's throw into the Joe Biden mix the book by his daughter Ashley Biden, who claims that she became "HIGHLY SEXUALIZED" at an early age. As she clams, she took inappropriate showers with DAD-DEE. "No honey, that's a soft lollipop, let me put some whip cream on it.
That bastard should have been in fucking jail but was protected because he was part of the establishment and a Senator. Then we have Trump who told Radio Jock, Howard Stern, he thought his daughter Ivanka was beautiful and he would date and do her.
Politicians are total fucking scumbags and don't forget Keir Starmer covering up his migrant rape gang in the UK.
Oh, and so much more. The corruption is long and deep. if you know the history that's been hidden from you. And if current history in the making tells you anything, Israel is trying to change our minds about what all of us witnessed. We are the United States of Israel.
For one reason only....israyhell owns ALL the money bags.
Indeed.
Makes bio-regional secession look like a"good deal."
Only, but not. My study is about religions and how one introduced usury and the other thinks it a sin. Imagine a world that didn't have interest on the dollar and one that does. One can easily see why a religion that finds interest to loans from your brothers and sisters a great threat to our current financial system. But then again, Muslims might imitate Jews and charge others who are not Muslims and thereby elevate their religion and operations the in world of finance to create an opposition to base of usury charging Western domination.
Rodster, many are corrupt, but the current one is at least a couple of decimal points more corrupt !
If you think that, then you fell for their "shell game", now you see it, now you don't. Those who reach the political summit of Mount Olympus are not naive choirboys. They have more skeletons in their closet than the local morgue.
People tend to fall for this guy is bad because I don't like him when the previous guys did stuff just as bad, they just had their handlers polishing their turd image.
Which means breaking extraordinary previous records.
Based on what I know of other U.S. Presidents (and US political history), I'm inclined to agree with you.
I watched his little speech and it was puke worthy, he will never be America first, Israel owns and operates him fully.
Trump seems like the easiest person to own (by anybody that has enough money/resources). Just shower Trump with money (and apparently young girls), and he's owned by you.
Yes, and as that knowledge percolates through Trump's right-wing base it just might trigger a blow-back. When MAGA believers realize that their leader is actually wearing a MIGOE cap (Make Israel Great Over Everthing), there may be a wave of disillusionment and anger. If so, stand back because what comes out will not be Anti-Zionism but full-throated Anti-Semitism. It will be coarse, harsh, and ugly. And Trump is feeding it in every way.
MAGA people are too dense to understand it.
If you know where he came from; his great grandfather in Alaska started a brothel. His relative was sent back to Germany, but Germany would not have him. Trumps historical relative, following the grifters in their family, went to Alaska during the gold mine era and started his wealth in trafficking women and alcohol. That's the source of his wealth along with buying up properties refusing to rent black people. His brother Fred Jr, was given a property to managed, and because the people in that property requested that Fred Jr. replace the windows to keep the cold of a New York winter out which Fred Jr was compassionate enough to listen to, Fred Sr. took that property management away from him. What happened to Fred Jr after that is a story yet to be told in full, but Fred Jr makes a great case, in my estimation, for the understanding of alcoholism every where. If you are not part of the grifters of our tax paying community, you are labeled as alcoholic, antisemitic, or too poor to know what effects you. One of the reasons, in my humble estimation of the genocide against Muslin nations is their religion that opposes usury, also known as charging interest to those who need a loan. Jews in total and not just Zionists are known to support their own with no interest. But when it comes to the goyim, on which the global banking system is upheld, interest is what makes them rich and powerful. When nations seek to own their own resources and make their own currency, the West is quick to step in and do a regime change in their favor; certainly not in favor of the people the west places sanctions on. However you feel about WWII Germany, what scared the hell out of usury demanding central banks was that Germany brought its country from the devastation of WWI in six short years to a powerhouse by minting their own currency and having their own banks. Hitler was actually on the front page of Time Magazine as Man of the Year for doing so.
What a wicked web we weave and how actual history has been denied.
Miriam Adelson, bored one day with shopping for whatever she fancied, decided to buy herself the president of the United States. So she headed to that boutique called The White House and satisfied her whim. Knock, knock. Is this where the great president of the "land of the free" lives? I've come to buy him and the country he claims to represent. And so it was. One more puppy for his collection. And that's how the United States became Genocidal Israel... The "Land of the Corrupt."
Yeah, but it's been like that since the Nakba.
And before, at least back to the Balfour Declaration.
As if.
The reason dual loyalty, which is another phrase for disloyalty to America, is never questioned by the mainstream media is because said media is owned and controlled by Jewish Zionists. Trace the ownership of the most influential broadcast and print media and it becomes glaringly obvious. What doesn’t get reported is more important than what is actually covered, by far. I recall a passage from the Gospels about not being able to serve two masters. Dual citizenship is un-American and should be illegal.
"The only thing I like about Donald Trump is his infantile tendency to say the quiet part out loud."
It's his only strength. He acts like a toddler who can't keep a secret. And we need to know these secrets--we can't afford to stay in the dark any longer. We need to expose the oligarchs and shut down the empire. Yesterday.
President Trump is old. He's not well. This is the second term. He survived when a bullet grazed his ear. That makes him believe he has a God-given go-ahead to accomplish some undefined mission.
His base will explain away and forgive anything he does, putting it in the most favorable light. He is the dream come true, and any dirty reality isn't going to damage that belief! "There will never be another like him". "This is what I voted for". "I trust him". "That's OUR president!".
Put all of this together and he believes he can do anything. The sky is the limit. The imagination isn't expansive enough. The money-making opportunities are everywhere. And, yes, he can admit to anything and walk away smiling.
For now. The truth is the wheel keeps turning.
The f* will probably outlast us. NO justice in this life. MLK Jr.'s arc is not bending toward justice and good will.
Well said, Wren. The wheel is indeed turning. The empire is looking like a cornered rat and lashing out in all directions at once. The US economy is looking like a very sick man propped up by corticosteroids. (See: P/E ratio) We are in a time of great churning and turning.
(Corticosteroids suppress inflammation and can mask deep infection. My father, an M.D. who attended medical school in the 1940s, said he was taught that a man with advanced blood poisoning could, with enough dosage of corticosteroids, feel well enough to walk himself to the morgue.)
Well said Wren. You describe the attitude of his MAGA cult members quite accurately (especially their defense of him no matter what).
I am so goddamned sick of israel.
EVIL TERRORIST FAKE MAKE BELIEVE STATE. (Sorry for shouting)...
No problem there - SHOUT LOUDER - we need to be heard 💥
How about someone having the courage to ask Congress people under oath in a hearing if their primary loyalty is to the US or Israel and banning the infamous "Israel pledge" they are asked to affirm?
They would lie.
Right on Jenny! They have no soul so any oath means nothing to them. If they have ever sworn an oath and kept it it is to greed and avarice.
The corruption is celebrated. Thank you for portraying what is happening so vividly and incitefully.
Short version: the Adelsons, with Israel First, paid Trump half a billion to put Israel first and continue funding and arming the genocide. Even neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes is burned up about Trump putting America second! Time for the Night of the knives!
