Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix
Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):
Journalist Ken Klippenstein has drawn attention to an overlooked remark made by State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce last month saying that the United States is “the greatest country on earth, next to Israel.”
“The pride of being able to be here and do work that facilitates making things better for people and in the greatest country on Earth, next to Israel,” Bruce told Jewish News Syndicate. “It’s an honor to be able to make a difference and to be able to speak in this regard with an administration that I love so much and that I feel genuinely represented by.”
It’s like this administration is doing everything it can to vindicate those who accuse it of being Israel First instead of America First.
❖
I feel like we don’t talk enough about the fact that Donald Trump publicly admitted to being bought and owned by the richest Israeli on earth, Republican megadonor Miriam Adelson.
On the campaign trail last year Trump told the Israeli American Council Summit that the first time he was president, Miriam and her late husband Sheldon “would come into the White House probably almost more than anybody, outside of people that work there.” He said they were always after something, “always for Israel,” and “as soon as I’d give them something, they’d want something else.” He named the US recognition of the occupied Golan Heights as part of Israel as one of the gifts he showered the Zionist state with to please the Adelsons, who pumped hundreds of millions of dollars into his presidential campaigns.
❖
It’s hard to focus on Israel’s airstrikes in Lebanon due to Israel’s invasion of Syria, which is hard to focus on due to Israel’s atrocities in the West Bank, which are hard to focus on due to Israel’s genocide in Gaza, which is hard to focus on due to Israel’s war on Iran, which is hard to focus on because of America’s war on Iran.
❖
Top Ten dumbest things we’re being asked to believe about Iran:
1. That the Iranians want to be bombed.
2. That the guy bombing Iran wants peace.
3. That regime change interventionism is a swell idea this time.
4. That anyone who doesn’t want war with Iran hates Jews.
5. That this time the government and the media are telling us the truth about an American war.
6. That this time the neocons are smart and correct.
7. That bombing Iran makes it LESS likely to try to obtain nukes.
8. That Iran is trying to assassinate the US president when all US presidents have the same foreign policy.
9. That Iran (a country that never starts wars) cannot be trusted with nuclear weapons, but Israel (a country that starts wars constantly) can.
10. That attacking Iran benefits Americans.
❖
It blows my mind that there are people trying to argue that Trump does not seek war. What do these idiots think the United States would do if another country started bombing American energy infrastructure?
❖
I’m trying to get an important business deal done, so I firebombed the guy’s house to make him more likely to negotiate with me. I just want peace.
❖
The following things are antisemitic:
- opposing war with Iran
- viewing Palestinians as human
- opposing genocide
- Greta Thunberg
- peace
- journalism
- Ms Rachel
- truth
- critical thinking
- the UN
- Tucker Carlson
- Amnesty International
- Human Rights Watch
- equal rights
❖
It’s hilarious that anyone still takes this “antisemitism” schtick seriously. Oh no there’s a special group of white people who might get hurt feelings if I don’t want to send my kids to invade Iran.
❖
The western world has been on a two-year crash course learning all the reasons why the Muslim world has been correct about Israel this entire time.
❖
It’s kind of nice to be arguing with George W Bush conservatives about US foreign policy again. For the last few years I’ve been getting called a Nazi by western Zionists and a Putin-loving fascist by NATO simps; it’s refreshing to be hated for the hippie moonbat I actually am for once.

Bassem Youssef is an Egyptian comedian but deadly serious about the horrors facing the Palestinians. He says the antisemitism label is like a used condom. It no longer offers protection.
Oh no, my girlfriend has Arab genes on her father's side, Palestinian even. I fear that you'll have to add me to that antisemitism list, Caitlin.
