Yes, I'm aware that there are countries that support the atrocities. I also live in the United States. And in the United States, like many other countries, there's these things called elections, you may have heard of those. If you haven't, please buy a dictionary and learn what the word means, sweetheart.
I know that you didn't ask me, but this little bit, "You say that “whitey” has been to the moon." might have influenced this fellow to think that you were pointing fingers at white people.
While I understood the comment you made, (I believe I know what you mean), and can dismiss the notion that a broad generalization does not refer to every member of noted "skin color," I find the whole idea of using "deposition of melanin" as a way to speak of people/actions/desires/hopes useless at best unless it really matters.
All one can logically say of such deposition is, "All [fill in relative deposition] people are [repeat earlier brackets]. Any other finish is abjectly untrue unless a recapitulation of earlier bracket.
This makes me want to stay out of much that goes on. White America, black America, hispanic America and such talk do nobody any good. Yes, you can say that there are tendencies among them such as "Black" Americans tend to vote Democrat, or such things, but, so what? Like it? Encourage it. Don't like it, give them a reason to do otherwise.
We do not call blonde a race; we do not call brown/green/blue -eyed a race. Why needlessly separate ourselves by deposition of melanin?
Division by an immutable characteristic does bad people good, and good people bad.
I'm probably done here; my experience is that little good comes of such talk.
I do appreciate your words about being a peacemaker. I do believe we'd all do better together if we were clear in our words.
We cannot know what another means; we can only know what they say. This is why I ask others to say what they mean and mean what they say. Politicians are particularly good at dissembling. Contributions to replace taxes, misspoke to replace lie...
"The rest" didn't come from South America, if that is a category intended as a catch all for non "native American"/"first peoples" who get called "brown", those mostly Spanish speaking people in the parts of North America taken by USA with force from formerly Spanish colonized old Mexico, the Spanish Empire & etc. ("Brown" in USA includes also a few Portuguese speaking people, courtesy of Pope Alexander VI and Brazil) .
Those "rest" are either going to have to return to the Iberian peninsula or take a boat across the Bering Straits to Asia, whence the "first peoples" largely came from (DNA says some Pacific Islanders, Austral-Melanesians and the odd Scandinavian, even Han Chinese! were in the pre columbian immigrant mixture long enough to have children here). That whole "go back to where you came from" policy will need all kinds of qualifiers re: WHAT % ancestry from WHERE? and really, a DNA test all around.
How 'bout we all just agree to get along? Instead of making the transportation companies rich by yelling "go home!" at people who ARE already at the only home they've known.
See... NO easy solution! Best we all return to Africa and that's it. Cause the "we all agree to get along" is absolutely out of the Reality of our current specie capacity.
Now that's funny... So clearly the "red nations, and the brown people of North America." are screwed since the attitude of those animals will never end in returning land.
"You are being offered two narratives to choose from:
[1] Palestinians in Gaza are evil orc-like savages who just want to murder Jews and must therefore be caged and killed.
[2] Palestinians in Gaza are thinking human beings who are reacting to intolerable abuses inflicted upon them.
Which is more believable?" ...
... By whom? Let's recognize that, today, unfortunately plenty will choose option [1] -- even when presented with exactly the above language. So we need also to undo the decades of indoctrination of war thinking that generates cartoon characters of any and all opponents, on each of manufactured "sides", for easy dividing-and-conquering.
Strictly judging by the millions of people protesting throughout the world - I don't think that's holds true anymore! This is to barbaric to go unnoticed! Even if people were completely ignorant - there are to many protests not to open people's eye's. It's kind of like the vaccines - even if they were staunch advocates - they had to question why so many people weren't. Don't get me wrong, I see your point - I just think todays generation are much different
"Strictly judging by the millions of people protesting throughout the world - I don't think that's holds true anymore!"
Agreed. I think there is still a majority among the Westerners through our propaganda MSM. But as with COVID as you point out, and also during the Vietnam War (with a more independent MSM at the time), they simply can't hide reality forever.
There were millions protesting around the world before the Iraq invasion and it made zero difference. Most people are too overwhelmed and disconnected in their own lives to pay attention, inform themselves, and care enough to take action.
I totally agree but I think this situation is far different than Iraq. One was about an invasion - this one is about the outright slaughter of people. Don't get me wrong we certainly did kill thousands in Iraq as well and another 2 million were displaced. I just think this one is much more attention grabbing There isn't anyone that doesn't have a Jewish friend or know someone who is Jewish opposed to knowing an Iraqis. Just my opinion though!
I distinctly recall millions of right thinking Humans on Earth everywhere protested the impending illegal US invasion of Iraq lying about WMDs.
US power ignored all those People.
In 2003, the US invaded Iraq in violation of the very same International Law Russia is demonized for violating. US troops are currently in Syria violating that same International Law just to STEAL Syria's oil like COMMON THIEVES!
In 2001, retired US General Wesley Clark, currently a hard-line inciter calling for WAR TO THE END with Russia, in an instance of honest candour 4 years BEFORE it happened, was the highest level whistle blower exposing to the World the US/Pentagon put their WAR PLANS on the table to change the Regimes of Iraq, Libya, Syria and at THE END, Iran.
All the Israeli-US WEST WAR Propaganda is working overtime to convince us Iran caused the Al-Aqsa Flood October 7, just 2 days after
Hamas calls what happened Saturday October 7 'Al Aqsa Flood' Why?
Wednesday October 4, that Israeli Religious government orchestrated a flood of Jewish settlers to force Palestinians to close all their shops in Old Occupied East Jerusalem, preventing Palestinians from ascending to the Mosque and abusing many Palestinians in the process. By the Geneva Convention, an Occupying Army is obligated to protect the Occupied People but the Israeli Army protects Jewish Settlers TERRORIZING Palestinians.
January of THIS year, Israel made an OLD TESTAMENT JEWISH RELIGIOUS ESTABLISHMENT the Government in Israel. It's no secret their goal and objective to to find a way to destroy the Islamic Al Asqa Mosque on Temple Mount so they can build a 3rd Jewish Temple and re-instate repetitive animal blood sacrifice as the Atonement of SIN.
It's the most important FUNDAMENTAL of the Christian Faith to this very Day, Christ Jesus willingly sacrificing his Blood suffering the pain and torture of Crucifixion in his Human Body, by that Act, became the One and Only Atonement for SIN for ALL People for ALL Time. Supporting Israel for that Path they already admit is their Nationalist Goal denies Christ. (he came unto his own and his own received him not-John 1:11
The Israeli government is implementing policies to create facts on the ground, according to THE BIBLE God gave ALL the land to JEWS exclusively 4000 years ago when Jews and Israel didn't exist.
This Israeli government prosecuting this WAR against the Innocent Palestinian Civilians sped up the Ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Occupied Palestine we ALL can see on TV.
The nominally Christian US-WEST supports and gives Israel the green light to commit whatever WAR CRIMES Israel commits against INNOCENT Palestinian women, children and BABIES, TERRORIZING those INNOCENT Palestinians dropping hundreds of bombs all night long in the DARK, the daylight showing the 100s of DEAD PALESTINIANS Israel killed in the DARK overnight!
The United Nations Secretary-General spoke the TRUTH when he said, "October 7 didn't happen in a Vacuum." Israel wants him fired for speaking THE TRUTH!
Israeli-US WEST MSM, whose job it is to have as FEW SINS of Historical OMISSION as possible as fallible Humans, reporting on this RELIGIOUS WAR between Judaism and Islam since 1948, dismiss the UN Secretary General as a nobody whose Expertise isn't worth looking into.
What can we do?
I thank God for Caitlin. She does have a platform that reaches more people than most of us can.
I'm also not sure how the continuous bombing of Gaza is allowed to happen with no altercation from the surrounding area? Given the magnitude of all these Countries combined, all of Israel could be wiped out in one day!
Yes yes yes I saw and read all of this. However I don't recall the magnitude of protests against the invasion of Iraq. Not saying they didn't occur and only that I don't recall the intensity. What I do vehemently recall is how Bush ever got elected to a second term. I thought for sure there was no way in hell he'd ever get re-elected once the truth surfaced but then again they got Biden elected didn't they?
I think people are much more cognizant today then they were back then and as I said it's probably because everyone knows or has a Jewish friend. The overall opinion of Israel is not good and getting worse the longer this continues. This is suicide.
How does not engaging with the system (boycotting it), and behaving as lawbreakers and like dysfunctional people, reform the government?
Do you expect a new, improved, limited government to just rise spontaneously out of the ashes? Or, do think that having no government (an anarchy) will prevent these things?
-De jure, not all governments. As you acknowledge here by pointing to the Constitution.
It's the job, perpetually, of "We, the People" to bring the two into alignment. Certainly, in the 21st century, we've been failing badly at it. Not them, but us.
Right on, Caitlin. I listen to Doug Macgregor, Scott Ritter, Jeffrey Sachs, John Mearsheimer, Max Blumenthal, and Jimmy Dore a lot just to remind myself that Americans are not all brainless and/or insane. Incidentally exactly the same is true here in Deutschland, although there is a new ray of hope with the Sahra Wagenknecht Movement.
And Judge Napolitano, Brian Berletic, Richard Medhurst, Glenn Greenwald, Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris, Ray McGovern, Larry Johnson, Phil Giraldi, Gerald Celente... and Caitlin of course but for me she is text not talk. Even though I hear her talking through the writing! And not to forget Clare Daly and Mick Wallace. I've also reposted a few speeches, I think mostly by Sinn Feiners. Roger Waters, and there are even a few sane voices in Germany, e.g. Sevim Dagdelen and Sahra Wagenknecht -- who have even launched a new (movement for a) party.
CJ Hopkins, Max Blumenthal, Aaron Mate, Gabor Mate, Dave Smith, the libertarian Institute Richard Grove to name a few more sources of objective views on this topic. Richard Grove's show Grand Theft world has done a 7 hour Deep dive each week into the details of the Middle East over the last couple hundred years. Everything is backed up with documentation. Fantastic place to learn the truth
Well Bob, since you're not familiar with those two gentlemen, consider it your lucky day, that is if you are looking to obtain a balanced perspective on the Middle East. If you're simply commenting to troll my post that's okay too. I believe anyone, regardless of how little they know, should be allowed to speak their mind so we all know what they know or don't know in some/your case. Enjoy your evening chief. 😊
Richard Grove isn't part of the libertarian institute, that I'm aware of anyway.
And Aaron Maté, others at The Gray Zone, Kit Klarenberg, Wyatt Reed, Ben Norton, et al. great young people. Forgot Michael Hudson, by the way. Matt Taibi. Anya Parampil. Michael .... stuck for the last name. Have to keep this list for reference. There's an idea: a list with links and brief descriptions for ready reference.
“I’m only one person, what can I do?” Said the whole world.
The root problem isn't the people running the show, it is the system itself. Fixing the system itself should be the one place we can all agree on.
We need to fix the entire system from being corrupted - government and all other related systems have lost all trust (government, media, medicine, science, academia, food, etc). The answer lies in building new trustworthy systems, migrating to them, then plugging them in to fix the existing corrupted ones. Like using a plug-in to fix a corrupted computer system.
It starts with understanding Swarm Theory and Human Swarm Intelligence. This is the beginning, but if everyone takes the time to understand this we can fix our corrupted systems and then fix everything else. Transparency + Decentralization + Human Swarm Intelligence = the answer.
Latest poll I've seen puts her at 14%, almost equal with the SPD. I was taken aback by her naming the "movement" after herself, but now I think she was right to capitalize on her name recognition. The media like to downplay it, but it's mainly her opposition to the war (against Russia) that has drawn people away from all the other parties to the benefit of the AfD. Immigration is not the biggest issue because by now all the parties have come to see it as a major problem.
RFK took an "unpopular position" on Israel? Unpopular with whom? Not with the powers-that-be, for sure. I think there is more substance to Wagenknecht et al., and remember that unlike the Americans she is trying to build a party, taking the best from the Linke and the AfD. The Linke are dead in the water.
Yes, and when it does get real, as now with the Israeli war, they all cough up the same phlegm., RFKJr being a prime example. I'm hoping Wagenknecht will be different.
It is much worse than that. Our culture is tailor-made for psychopaths to rise to positions of power and control because it is precisely those who desire power and control who will do anything and say anything to obtain it. In reality no one who desires power and control should ever be allowed into a position of power and control.
I have always maintained that elected officials should receive no pay or retirement benefits. They can be given a stipend for housing, food, transportation etc. but NO PAY.
That’s the only way we might possibly obtain elected officials who actually have the country’s best interests in mind.
I’ve said it before: politicians are people who can’t get real jobs.
By what assumptions do those in authority assume to have authority over you? Did you sign a contract with them? I'm not speaking of culture in the grade-school sociology class context, but in the larger context of the assumptions that govern our relationships to each other and "government". It's 180 degrees away from what it should be. We should know everything about them and they should only know of us what they need to know. "Public servants" actually assume domain and control over us and this power makes the jobs extremely attractive to sociopaths and psychopaths.
Israel showed its brutality by causing so much civilian deaths during the October 7th attack. They used tanks, Apache helicopters and air strikes that killed hundreds of Israelis, reports Propaganda&Co in a new video. See also Jonathan Cook.
Actually, if you dig a little deep you will discover things are not always what they appear. In June (according to UK-Telegraph) Hamas received its first shipment of missiles from Ukraine and Israel has been supplying Russia with resources that included artillery munitions. Of course, elections have consequences and stolen elections have even greater consequences. What would you think, if someone told you ALL of this was planned, what if the reason ambassador Christopher Stevens was killed in Bengazi because he discovered guns were being supplied to Isis by friendly fire. What has happened to the American people because of this proxy conflict? The taxpayers have become improvished, The dollar has lost its place as the reserve currency… Then in Afganstain the 17th largest Army in the world was handed over to the Talaban completely intact. What would you think if someone told you this was ALL part of the plan? “There are none so blind as those who will not see.”
"Palestinians in Gaza are evil orc-like savages who just want to murder Jews and must therefore be caged and killed."
To be fair, the West has form in this. Witness demonization of Russian people in recent years, viewing them as thuggish, primitive and stupid on the one paw but at the same time having superpowers that Lex Luthor could only dream of on the other.
For that matter, such ogrish views of Jews were also common currency not so long g ago.
American Special Forces are "secretly" killing, dying, and directing artillery and airstrikes in Gaza, as Douglas Macgregor was saying last week. How/when will their deaths and injuries be explained?
I forget whose Substack it was - I read it yesterday, where they completely discredited Macgregor. I'm not saying I agree or disagree and just what someone wrote.
Gaza is self-ruling and has been for almost 20 years. It was a pilot program into a two state solution and it clearly failed. Almost 20,000 gazans has work permits in Israel. They used them to gather intelligence and murder innocent people. Ask yourself why no other Arab country even wants to let Gazans be refugees? At the same time that some Muslim Arabs were shuffled around in the land of Israel, even more Jewish Arabs were stripped off their property and expelled from surrounding land including Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt. Most settled in Israel. There is no real Jewish community to speak of in other Arab countries, while a large minority of Israeli CITIZENS are Muslim and Christian Arabs with full rights, participation, property ownership, and govt representation. 75 years out, most Israelis are born in Israel, and there is no where else to go, or "return to".
As a research psychologist, I've spent years studying war, violence, and killing. Tactics of German SS troops on the Eastern Front have been of special interest. For the IDF, "Identification with the Aggressor" is now complete. They ARE the SS, and Gaza is their Warsaw ghetto. US politicians have been a key catalyst in this transformation.
Thank you Caitlin for summing this genocide up perfectly. At first I thought oh no I will be alone in my thoughts this is simply a murder of prisoners and now I know from the global response I am not alone in this thinking. Thank you Caitlin for always here for people of PEACE and LOGIC : )
"“But when all the young men refuse to kill for the sake of peace, and when all the women forbid their men to kill for the sake of peace, and when you realize that no peace will come through killing, and that the end does not justify the means, and when you grow full and light with thoughts of peace, there will be an end to war. But as long as any men go to war for the sake of peace, there will be war. And, as long as any woman teaches her sons to go to war because of love of the peace, there will be war.
You make your world. When you populate your world with ideas of peace, then peace will grow. When you think thoughts of aggression, you attract aggression and you draw it out from others in daily contact, and on the part of nations.
...Now you cannot understand this now, and yet I tell you that your own preoccupation with arms, as a country, is received by others, and your own thoughts are materialized and you create wars in your minds that then must be faced with your flesh and your blood.
The reality that you have is a replica of your thoughts. If you do not like the world, you must change your thoughts and no exterior manipulation will change the face of your experience one iota, if you do not change your dreams and your thoughts.
...Unfortunately, you equate aggression with strength, so you are afraid to elect a peaceful man. And all the other countries feel the same, so they are afraid to put into power, by whatever means, peaceful men. And so your world situation is the result of your individual beliefs, en masse.
...Now, when individually you believe in peace, and when you no longer believe that good is weak and evil is powerful, then, on countrywide bases, you will put people into power who believe in the active nature of peace. And, again, there is no other answer.”"
Maybe more women in power? Women have sons and daughters. Giving birth is a unique fantastic experience. It's extraordinary that women immediately love the child right after birth. It's an experience men obviously don't have.
omg, Robert Lindsay, you have met some really horrible women. I have met some truly awful men, but I don't think all men are as horrible as they were. I have also been physically beaten and psychologically damaged as a child by a woman. But I don't think all women are bad. The therapy that I have had has helped me to understand how these people got to where they are, so I don't hate them. I don't forgive them. I just know that they were behaving in a manner blinded to their own pain that had nothing to do with me.

Dear United States,
STOP electing immoral, war-loving morons or just admit you are not cut out to be a country. Thank you,
The Universe
P.S. Return the land to the Palestinians that was stolen from them.
It’s not only the united states doing this. All the colonial countries are having the same problem.
the us isnt the only country that supports israel nor is it the only country that’s war hungry. if you weren’t a moron you’d know that.
Yes, I'm aware that there are countries that support the atrocities. I also live in the United States. And in the United States, like many other countries, there's these things called elections, you may have heard of those. If you haven't, please buy a dictionary and learn what the word means, sweetheart.
you sound like a fucking moron
lmfao you sound like a dumb fuck
Cool. You can keep on voting for Republicans and Democrats, keep on voting for status quo. See where that goes.
We voters have a responsibility at the voting box and it's time We The People take that responsibility seriously.
You do realize you're on the page of a white Australian? Why are you not calling on her to leave?
exactly !
I hope you're highlighting anti-semitism and not perpetuating it.
That's a fool's hope with this particular troll. Dude thinks I'm like him just because of my longships, if that tells you anything.
This person is not opposing anti semitism.
I know that you didn't ask me, but this little bit, "You say that “whitey” has been to the moon." might have influenced this fellow to think that you were pointing fingers at white people.
Look up and listen to the song that so well describes what is happening all around us.
It is a beautiful song of protest dished with a punch of reality : )
While I understood the comment you made, (I believe I know what you mean), and can dismiss the notion that a broad generalization does not refer to every member of noted "skin color," I find the whole idea of using "deposition of melanin" as a way to speak of people/actions/desires/hopes useless at best unless it really matters.

Or go to Mars they seem bizarrely obsesses with that place
the only one obsessed with mars is elon musk and he is south african
fucks sake you need to take your meds
That would mean sending Whites to UK&Europe, Blacks to Africa and the rest to South America! That would be funny to observe.
@voza0db
"The rest" didn't come from South America, if that is a category intended as a catch all for non "native American"/"first peoples" who get called "brown", those mostly Spanish speaking people in the parts of North America taken by USA with force from formerly Spanish colonized old Mexico, the Spanish Empire & etc. ("Brown" in USA includes also a few Portuguese speaking people, courtesy of Pope Alexander VI and Brazil) .
Those "rest" are either going to have to return to the Iberian peninsula or take a boat across the Bering Straits to Asia, whence the "first peoples" largely came from (DNA says some Pacific Islanders, Austral-Melanesians and the odd Scandinavian, even Han Chinese! were in the pre columbian immigrant mixture long enough to have children here).

They don't struggle at all...
Now that's funny... So clearly the "red nations, and the brown people of North America." are screwed since the attitude of those animals will never end in returning land.
And even that was excessive!
no american thinks that Jews are our salvation. you have no idea what you are talking about but that’s not surprising.
That's some nasty Jew hatred. This page isn't just about condemning Israel's actions. It's full on anti-semitic.

It's not up to me to prove it. It's up to you to disprove it.
Searching Google exists for a reason!
Pretty sure we know all about the hate propaganda and indoctrination. We are white terrorists and bigots.
Sounds as if you believe in "cartoon characters of any and all opponents".
So what is your prescription for our path out?
How does not engaging with the system (boycotting it), and behaving as lawbreakers and like dysfunctional people, reform the government?
Do you expect a new, improved, limited government to just rise spontaneously out of the ashes? Or, do think that having no government (an anarchy) will prevent these things?
"Government is an innately evil institution."
-De facto, too often yes.
-De jure, not all governments. As you acknowledge here by pointing to the Constitution.
It's the job, perpetually, of "We, the People" to bring the two into alignment. Certainly, in the 21st century, we've been failing badly at it. Not them, but us.
"We Are Ruled By Sociopaths And Morons". Could have ended it there!
The sociopaths hire the uncurious narcissists to stand there and smile and lie comfortably, which they can easily do.
No, go to the part about choosing the puppet rulers...
There ya go!
:-)
Right on, Caitlin. I listen to Doug Macgregor, Scott Ritter, Jeffrey Sachs, John Mearsheimer, Max Blumenthal, and Jimmy Dore a lot just to remind myself that Americans are not all brainless and/or insane. Incidentally exactly the same is true here in Deutschland, although there is a new ray of hope with the Sahra Wagenknecht Movement.
Add to your list Alastair Crooke 😎
And Judge Napolitano, Brian Berletic, Richard Medhurst, Glenn Greenwald, Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris, Ray McGovern, Larry Johnson, Phil Giraldi, Gerald Celente... and Caitlin of course but for me she is text not talk. Even though I hear her talking through the writing! And not to forget Clare Daly and Mick Wallace. I've also reposted a few speeches, I think mostly by Sinn Feiners. Roger Waters, and there are even a few sane voices in Germany, e.g. Sevim Dagdelen and Sahra Wagenknecht -- who have even launched a new (movement for a) party.
CJ Hopkins, Max Blumenthal, Aaron Mate, Gabor Mate, Dave Smith, the libertarian Institute Richard Grove to name a few more sources of objective views on this topic. Richard Grove's show Grand Theft world has done a 7 hour Deep dive each week into the details of the Middle East over the last couple hundred years. Everything is backed up with documentation. Fantastic place to learn the truth
Well Bob, since you're not familiar with those two gentlemen, consider it your lucky day, that is if you are looking to obtain a balanced perspective on the Middle East. If you're simply commenting to troll my post that's okay too. I believe anyone, regardless of how little they know, should be allowed to speak their mind so we all know what they know or don't know in some/your case. Enjoy your evening chief. 😊
Richard Grove isn't part of the libertarian institute, that I'm aware of anyway.
And may I add The Katie Halper Show, as well as Useful Idiots for a dose of sanity.
And Aaron Maté, others at The Gray Zone, Kit Klarenberg, Wyatt Reed, Ben Norton, et al. great young people. Forgot Michael Hudson, by the way. Matt Taibi. Anya Parampil. Michael .... stuck for the last name. Have to keep this list for reference. There's an idea: a list with links and brief descriptions for ready reference.
And CounterPunch.org, Also Chris Hedges on Substack
“I’m only one person, what can I do?” Said the whole world.
The root problem isn't the people running the show, it is the system itself. Fixing the system itself should be the one place we can all agree on.
We need to fix the entire system from being corrupted - government and all other related systems have lost all trust (government, media, medicine, science, academia, food, etc). The answer lies in building new trustworthy systems, migrating to them, then plugging them in to fix the existing corrupted ones. Like using a plug-in to fix a corrupted computer system.
It starts with understanding Swarm Theory and Human Swarm Intelligence. This is the beginning, but if everyone takes the time to understand this we can fix our corrupted systems and then fix everything else. Transparency + Decentralization + Human Swarm Intelligence = the answer.

I wish.
Your swastika's backward. You're using the clockwise, Hindu one, not the tilted, twisted counterclockwise Nazi one.
Very disappointing for someone who claims to be an expert on this stuff.
Just the ones in charge of the mic ,we are not allowed to elect any moral person. The morons,(mtg) are ready to kick out a couple of moral individuals
Latest poll I've seen puts her at 14%, almost equal with the SPD. I was taken aback by her naming the "movement" after herself, but now I think she was right to capitalize on her name recognition. The media like to downplay it, but it's mainly her opposition to the war (against Russia) that has drawn people away from all the other parties to the benefit of the AfD. Immigration is not the biggest issue because by now all the parties have come to see it as a major problem.
RFK took an "unpopular position" on Israel? Unpopular with whom? Not with the powers-that-be, for sure. I think there is more substance to Wagenknecht et al., and remember that unlike the Americans she is trying to build a party, taking the best from the Linke and the AfD. The Linke are dead in the water.
Yes, and when it does get real, as now with the Israeli war, they all cough up the same phlegm., RFKJr being a prime example. I'm hoping Wagenknecht will be different.
It is much worse than that. Our culture is tailor-made for psychopaths to rise to positions of power and control because it is precisely those who desire power and control who will do anything and say anything to obtain it. In reality no one who desires power and control should ever be allowed into a position of power and control.
Hi William
I have always maintained that elected officials should receive no pay or retirement benefits. They can be given a stipend for housing, food, transportation etc. but NO PAY.
That’s the only way we might possibly obtain elected officials who actually have the country’s best interests in mind.
I’ve said it before: politicians are people who can’t get real jobs.
Good thinkin’ Jeano!
By what assumptions do those in authority assume to have authority over you? Did you sign a contract with them? I'm not speaking of culture in the grade-school sociology class context, but in the larger context of the assumptions that govern our relationships to each other and "government". It's 180 degrees away from what it should be. We should know everything about them and they should only know of us what they need to know. "Public servants" actually assume domain and control over us and this power makes the jobs extremely attractive to sociopaths and psychopaths.
Brilliantly said. I will be reading this at a rally in support of Palestine on Sunday. I can’t bear the both siding, the liars and the murderers.
Dorothy, that’s a great idea!
I will miss sat rally on dc. Bus is full. You go girl❣️
Israel showed its brutality by causing so much civilian deaths during the October 7th attack. They used tanks, Apache helicopters and air strikes that killed hundreds of Israelis, reports Propaganda&Co in a new video. See also Jonathan Cook.
White phosphorus, among other banned munitions.
Actually, if you dig a little deep you will discover things are not always what they appear. In June (according to UK-Telegraph) Hamas received its first shipment of missiles from Ukraine and Israel has been supplying Russia with resources that included artillery munitions. Of course, elections have consequences and stolen elections have even greater consequences. What would you think, if someone told you ALL of this was planned, what if the reason ambassador Christopher Stevens was killed in Bengazi because he discovered guns were being supplied to Isis by friendly fire. What has happened to the American people because of this proxy conflict? The taxpayers have become improvished, The dollar has lost its place as the reserve currency… Then in Afganstain the 17th largest Army in the world was handed over to the Talaban completely intact. What would you think if someone told you this was ALL part of the plan? “There are none so blind as those who will not see.”
"Palestinians in Gaza are evil orc-like savages who just want to murder Jews and must therefore be caged and killed."
To be fair, the West has form in this. Witness demonization of Russian people in recent years, viewing them as thuggish, primitive and stupid on the one paw but at the same time having superpowers that Lex Luthor could only dream of on the other.
For that matter, such ogrish views of Jews were also common currency not so long g ago.
From the Zionist point of view, this only bolsters their argument. "See we are so oppressed we deserve special treatment!"
American Special Forces are "secretly" killing, dying, and directing artillery and airstrikes in Gaza, as Douglas Macgregor was saying last week. How/when will their deaths and injuries be explained?
https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/better-facts
I forget whose Substack it was - I read it yesterday, where they completely discredited Macgregor. I'm not saying I agree or disagree and just what someone wrote.
Any ideas about how to stop the spamming? The worst of the comments are the sames ones over and over from the same person.
GENOCIDE JOE
HAS GOT TO GO!
By any means possible.
Agree. Ceasefire and allow freedom and sovereignty for Palestinians. Two-nation State and funding for rebuilding.
Gaza is self-ruling and has been for almost 20 years. It was a pilot program into a two state solution and it clearly failed. Almost 20,000 gazans has work permits in Israel. They used them to gather intelligence and murder innocent people. Ask yourself why no other Arab country even wants to let Gazans be refugees? At the same time that some Muslim Arabs were shuffled around in the land of Israel, even more Jewish Arabs were stripped off their property and expelled from surrounding land including Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt. Most settled in Israel. There is no real Jewish community to speak of in other Arab countries, while a large minority of Israeli CITIZENS are Muslim and Christian Arabs with full rights, participation, property ownership, and govt representation. 75 years out, most Israelis are born in Israel, and there is no where else to go, or "return to".
You moron.
The Palestinian people don’t WANT to be refugees in another country. WHAT DON’T YOU GET ABOUT THAT?
They want their land according to the 1967 borders and not to (a) be forced to live in a concentration camp (Gaza) or
(b) be victims of murderous IsraHelli squatters and land theft in the West Bank.
Do yourself a favor and use one of the couple of brain cells you may have remaining.
You are utterly deluded.
You are incorrect.
You are misguided. And rudely prolific in Caitlin Johnstone's comments section.
Amazing that every single response here is ad homenim and does not address actual content. Go read your own history. Hint: it didn't start in 1948.
"Facts" when only viewed from eyes of the oppressor.
Then explain how the facts are wrong. If you can't, then you're not intelligent or clever, you're just a mindless drone.
Fuck off, anti-semite. I don't truck with racists of any kind.
As a research psychologist, I've spent years studying war, violence, and killing. Tactics of German SS troops on the Eastern Front have been of special interest. For the IDF, "Identification with the Aggressor" is now complete. They ARE the SS, and Gaza is their Warsaw ghetto. US politicians have been a key catalyst in this transformation.
Thank you Caitlin for summing this genocide up perfectly. At first I thought oh no I will be alone in my thoughts this is simply a murder of prisoners and now I know from the global response I am not alone in this thinking. Thank you Caitlin for always here for people of PEACE and LOGIC : )
"“But when all the young men refuse to kill for the sake of peace, and when all the women forbid their men to kill for the sake of peace, and when you realize that no peace will come through killing, and that the end does not justify the means, and when you grow full and light with thoughts of peace, there will be an end to war. But as long as any men go to war for the sake of peace, there will be war. And, as long as any woman teaches her sons to go to war because of love of the peace, there will be war.
You make your world. When you populate your world with ideas of peace, then peace will grow. When you think thoughts of aggression, you attract aggression and you draw it out from others in daily contact, and on the part of nations.
...Now you cannot understand this now, and yet I tell you that your own preoccupation with arms, as a country, is received by others, and your own thoughts are materialized and you create wars in your minds that then must be faced with your flesh and your blood.
The reality that you have is a replica of your thoughts. If you do not like the world, you must change your thoughts and no exterior manipulation will change the face of your experience one iota, if you do not change your dreams and your thoughts.
...Unfortunately, you equate aggression with strength, so you are afraid to elect a peaceful man. And all the other countries feel the same, so they are afraid to put into power, by whatever means, peaceful men. And so your world situation is the result of your individual beliefs, en masse.
...Now, when individually you believe in peace, and when you no longer believe that good is weak and evil is powerful, then, on countrywide bases, you will put people into power who believe in the active nature of peace. And, again, there is no other answer.”"

Maybe more women in power? Women have sons and daughters. Giving birth is a unique fantastic experience. It's extraordinary that women immediately love the child right after birth. It's an experience men obviously don't have.
omg, Robert Lindsay, you have met some really horrible women. I have met some truly awful men, but I don't think all men are as horrible as they were. I have also been physically beaten and psychologically damaged as a child by a woman. But I don't think all women are bad. The therapy that I have had has helped me to understand how these people got to where they are, so I don't hate them. I don't forgive them. I just know that they were behaving in a manner blinded to their own pain that had nothing to do with me.
"We" includes the psychopaths and the morons and the rest who put them in their leadership positions. We are ruled by our own weakness and laziness.
