Yes they are the Merchants of Death. They destabilize Governments for the Benefit of the Greedy Multinational Corporations. Finance one Side supply weapons to Both . The Deaths and suffering of the People especially Women and Children are Just Collateral Damage in the Bigger Scheme of things.

Very true. And the sad part is the average American citizen doesn’t participate in any of that. In fact, our opinion is mostly, please stay out of the wars. Please focus on the needs of our people inside of our country. Please stop sending money and weapons overseas. It’s a small handful of globalist demonic pigs at the top who control everything, pushing the military industrial complex into these wars. Your everyday person wants nothing to do with this garbage.

Yes, the real threat is not from the power of giant cartels wreaking total bloody havoc with human lives and the environment while enriching the very few: it's from scary commies and socialists.

What is a 'commie' in you mind?

Expand full comment

A “commie” to one who would use the term is just another term for what other religions would call a sinner or a “demon”. Those were my words. The following words are from Kurt Vonnegut. “Socialism" is no more an evil word than "Christianity." Socialism no more prescribed Joseph Stalin and his secret police and shuttered churches than Christianity prescribed the Spanish Inquisition. Christianity and socialism alike, in fact, prescribe a society dedicated to the proposition that all men, women, and children are created equal and shall not starve.

Well I am not Christian - at least partly because any Church is very , very male and usually does not believe men and women are created equals .

I don't think so:

Watching American propaganda at work for years............is that not deriding China and Russia which are not communists now but people still think they are.

We all know that the US has 'used' Communism to scare people.

Well if democrats call themselves 'leftists' ( some who have at least a bit of humanity do this !) why not characterise anti-racists , anti sexists , believers in human rights and all other well-meaning types as evil commies ?

Expand full comment

You are preaching to the choir, but yes.

Unfortunately that's simply not how many USians think about politics.

Expand full comment

Yes, they do exist but not in the USA. 85% sponsored by AIPAC.

In all the Western vassal states, opposition voices do exist, but like all countries, the elections that are able to determine a possible change of policy, are some way off.

Germany’s election is recently past, as is France, the next in 2027. Canada is a year away. The UK, with its dismal result, just completed with a wait until 2029 before the voters can show their real concern. New Zealand not due until December 2026.

Australia, however, due in some months, but in country under tight control by militarised-looking state-centered police forces, harassing students as their speciality, with politicians possibly dictated to by the Zionist brigade to the point of absolute disgrace, unbelievable in fact, with a government who are so US oriented that that country could be the 51st State. Ask any member of that government what their attitude is to the genocide, the Israel butchery in Lebanon, the killings and rape in Palestine and you will never get an answer. One Senator did have a contrary opinion on a subject and was shuffled out of government. Freedom of speech? Not even in the government. This is Australia, 2024.

So that’s Australia, once a democracy, now a US controlled state full of US military activities, now forced to spend 380 billion dollars on nuclear submarines (2042 delivery) to make the US and UK even more wealthy. A country now nothing but a US whore. All the while the cost of living increases daily, education is beyond the young and health matters are at an ever increasing cost. Along with everything else.

But, on the plus side, the current government party called Labor, could soon to be dispensed with in no uncertain terms (hopefully early in 2025) and which may force them to have to team with the mirror-image Liberal Party, just to form a government. What a pairing that would be, answerable to and influenced by the Zionists in Sydney and Melbourne in what was once a free and democratic country. The numbers of independents may be the decider. Yes, a guess, but likely.

The possible resulting contribution to the routing of Israel from Palestinian lands…..zero.

So we have one Western government with an election which could make a difference coming soon. But afterwards, the same old US / Israel subservience.

It is just the way Australia has been since its foundation in 1788. First Britain until 1945, then the USA, a resulting disgraced country under the influence of a hegemonic USA and a genocidal Israel and populated with government sponsored holocaust museums. How did all that happen? What a frightening future.

An example in that same now feeble country, once respected, clearly a US puppet by any measure, they have a highly respected Australian journalist being challenged in a court by the Zionist Federation of Australia. Yes. It is unbelievable. What the hell is that bunch with the name Zionist doing in that country, one has to ask. The name Zionist alone, undoubtedly all with the same mental attitude as those Israeli and Jewish IDF volunteers and mercenaries from places like the USA now fighting in Lebanon and Palestine, killing everything in sight with the totally corrupted mainstream media hardly mentioning the massacres and deaths.

Israel and USA. Joint criminal partners in the deaths of multi-thousands with their dual-passported members living the high life in places like Australia and daring to preach to or challenge really respected and genuine Australians what is and what isn’t acceptable to them.

Who the hell do they think they are?

The Green Party, the DSA, and other parties aren’t bought by AIPAC. They exist and should be voted for, but wouldn’t be allowed to win, even if they received the most votes. I would bring light to the fact THE US ISN’T A DEMOCRACY.

Contrarian, you've said it! Australia has become a supine, spineless lackey of Uncle Sam, an utter embarrassment. Our two major (hopefully soon to be minor) parties are largely two sides of the same coin, with one slightly better at pretending to act in the best interests of the populace. They act for big-end-of-town lobbyists, domestically and internationally. We are really The Plutocratic States of Australia. If we do not increase our distance from the US, fast, it will not end well. Our mealy-mouthed pronouncements on Israeli war crimes are to be abhorred; our craven response to Zionist pressure is simply awful. We are complicit in the bastardry being committed in Gaza, West Bank and Lebanon. Your question, Contrarian, is perfectly justied, with a slight edit, Who the hell do we think we are?

Expand full comment

Yes exactly, David Baird and Contrarian. We have been the 51st State for years as I’ve said on other ‘stacks’. Absolutely appalling and shameful. I am SO angry with nowhere to focus anger that would result in ANY meaningful policy change on either woeful support of climate wreckers or the deliberate heinous ever expanding Israeli regional carnage. Yes I vote Green and protest march for Palestine - what else can I do? My friends - the few I have left - will not engage - except in a sort of ‘head dropping’ - yes isn’t this awful way - but then go back to their daily struggle to pay mortgages/rents/groceries etc. Keep the majority struggling and a country can do what it wants.

"We’re the fucking terrorists. We are. All of us who live in the western power alliance who haven’t stopped our governments from backing this mass atrocity." - this should be qualified though. There are many who have known all this time that the so called "democracy" is a sham and in reality nothing meaningful can be done to subvert the system.

But they are tiny minority. Even Assange thought differently so one might excuse the majority somewhat. But the statement fully applies to that majority, who is either clueless or actively delusional.

Voting for either is an immoral act, because you are voting for a racist, genocidal, colonial regime. Neither party gives a damn about the proletariat, yet people flock to them like they are some savior. All they do is steal our tax money by buying bombs from the weapons manufacturers for Israel and Ukraine, among other avenues that they steal from the poor and give to the rich. These parties are sick to their core, and at this point I don’t think one is better than the other. There is no lesser of two evils, just the same evil acting like they are somehow different. VOTING FOR A DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN IS AN IMMORAL ACT AND AGAINST YOUR BEST INTEREST!!!

Good lord! The replies to the tweet about Biden saying that he’s a great friend of Israel. The only thing that he could have done more for Israel is to send our planes over there to bomb Gaza. He’s already had our intelligence planes there to help Israel’s targeting of civilians.

The truth is not propaganda. Look at the ruins in Gaza and pretend this is anything but murder — mass graves, blockades on food, clean water, medical supplies, and the torture of prisoners. Justifying this, Zionists rely on propaganda, slogans, the pretense that somehow God backs them up (when it’s only Uncle Sam and the neocons) and years of crafting a false history of “heroic freedom fighters.” They’ve been very successful — I’ll give them that — but nothing changes the truth no matter how much they try to twist the facts.

“One of the most striking revelations of that war was the age of the men who entered it. It has often been commonly said that great wars are planned by old men and fought by young men. Statistics show that more than two million of the men who enlisted in the Civil war were under 20 years of age and that 150,000 were under 14 years of age.”

It's not black and white Finn. Governments do serve an essential service and some governments do provide what a civilized country needs.

The problem we have in the US is not government itself, but the corruption of government by obscenely wealthy people. We have an Oligarchy not a Democracy. That is the problem here - not "governments" in general. That's a red herring used by the Billionaires to destroy whatever civilized country we Americans have left.

Who's claiming that the US is a democracy? [I certainly didn't]

The problem in the US is ongoing because it's citizens still haven't figured out how to turn things around.

"A direct war with Iran would be a nightmare". I agree, but a direct war with any country that has nuclear capability would be an even bigger nightmare than we are already experiencing.

God bless you Caitlin

You hit the nail on the head by listing nations with oil reserves!

This is NOT Israel's war. This is the war of the Empire to preserve control of Arabian Peninsula energy resources.

The Empire is already in an existential crisis, as the fiat money construct, that is the foundation of its hegemonic power is crumbling. Suffice to note:

- Inflation: Real YoY growth of your weekly supermarket bill not bs government data

- Depreciation: Fiat currencies vs. precious metals YoY depreciation 33% https://goldprice.org/

Israel, the Empire's proxy for maintaining security of oil vassals on the Peninsula, has morphed from the "unsinkable aircraft carrier" to a "sinking carrier", as its weakness was exposed by its inability to subdue the Palestinian Resistance in a 140sqm flat strip that has been under siege for 19 years.

Losing control of the Arabian Peninsula oil reserves will crash the fiat currencies construct and bring an immediate end to the millennial empire.

War in Southwest Asia is thus a matter of life or death for the Empire. In this existential war, genocide and war crimes are irrelevant.

It will be a long bloody war. The empire will lose and humanity will be freed of this thousand year monster.

Terrorism, that is, political violence, begins with the invasion of territories where other people live and work, continues with the exploitation of other people's labor, and is justified by the propaganda of invaders and exploiters.
