Oh, Yeah, Your Boss, Your Neighbor, Your Buddy, Your Dining Out Masses, Your County Population -- There Is a Deep Sickness in their Trump Love
Trump 3.0 is on its way to becoming reality!
WASHINGTON − An ideologically divided Supreme Court on July 14 allowed the Trump administration to fire hundreds of workers from the Education Department and continue other efforts to dismantle the agency.
The court's three liberal justices opposed the order, the latest win for President Donald Trump at the high court.
A Confederacy and Minyan of Dunces:
President Donald Trump's approval rating has improved among those who describe themselves as conservative, an analysis of polls shows.
According to polling by YouGov/The Economist, while the proportion of conservatives who approve of the president declined between March and May, it has since improved to the levels it was at the start of his second term.
Why It Matters
If he loses support among conservatives—his base—by a meaningful proportion, it could hurt Republicans in marginal seats and in swing states that are up for reelection in the 2026 midterms, potentially shifting the balance of power to Democrats in Congress.
The US government has explained the cameras to Ghislaine Maxwell's prison cell strangely went down while she committed suicide next week. Sadly, no one knows how Maxwell committed suicide because the on-duty guards were sleeping while her body was smuggled away. Hopefully, the footage the FBI is splicing together with Adobe Acrobat can shed some light.
And this is why the Confederacy of Dunces is DOA: Mehdi sits down with Piers Morgan live on set in London to discuss the genocide in Gaza, Israel’s plans to keep it going, and the US’s green light for it all. Mehdi is joined by former Trump lawyer and ardent zionist Alan Dershowitz, who, you will quickly realize, did not come with receipts on the ready.
Dershowitz’s former client list is one to make jaws drop for all the wrong reasons, because in addition to Donald Trump, it includes: O.J. Simpson, Harvey Weinstein, and last but not least, infamous child sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, whom the discussion centered around in light of the Trump administration’s attempts at backtracking on their promise of declassifying his case files.
I won’t even watch these fucking CLOWNS:
Did you get the chlamydia whiplash yet from all of this fake fucking news: Donald Trump's approval rating has dropped in two polls as he faces criticism for his administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
The president lost six approval points in a Morning Consult poll and one point in a Napolitan News Service poll between surveys taken last month and this month.
Oh shit, the billionaire (almost) is speaking from his bunker in Hawaii: Obama’s blunt message for Democrats: ‘Toughen up’
Jew Up that Lawyering Up: These Conservatives Want them DEAD. More than 20 states sued President Donald Trump’s administration on Monday over billions of dollars in frozen education funding for after-school care, summer programs and more
Oh, darn, Putin is Getting Outplayed in 4-D chess with the Pedophile-Rapist in Chief:
Retired Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg, President Donald Trump's envoy to Ukraine and Russia, met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv on Monday.
The meeting came as speculation mounted over a potential shift in Trump's approach to the ongoing war, which began with Russia's invasion on February 24, 2022.
Zelensky described the meeting as "a productive conversation," emphasizing key topics such as the enhancement of Ukraine's air defense systems, collaboration on joint arms production, the coordinated purchase of American weapons with European partners, and the imposition of stricter sanctions on Russia.
The meeting coincides with Trump's growing frustration over Russian President Vladimir Putin's stance on U.S.-led peace negotiations.
Well, these fucking performative cun-tree-tis-of-thee creeps are HAPPY.
Oh, man, those 12-pack abs, dude, taking on VD Vance: California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Vice President JD Vance traded barbs this weekend over the Trump administration's mass deportation policies after the vice president's vacation to Disneyland in the Golden State.
Vance was spending time at the California amusement park with his wife Usha and their two children before Newsom, a Democrat, posted on social media that some migrant families cannot spend the same quality time together because of the administration's efforts to detain and remove migrants in the U.S.
"Hope you enjoy your family time, JDVance. The families you’re tearing apart certainly won’t," Newsom wrote on X.
You gotta love the sackings by this sad fucking piece of shit: Millions of federal student borrowers whose loans have been in an interest-free pause will see that relief come to an end within weeks.
The Trump administration announced on July 9 that the so-called SAVE forbearance will expire on Aug. 1, and that enrollees' education debts will begin to grow again if they don't make payments large enough to cover the accruing interest.
[Nearly 7.7 million federal student borrowers enrolled in the Biden-era Saving on a Valuable Education, or SAVE, plan, the Education Department said in its press release earlier this month.]
Things are finger- and-penis-licking good under Rapist and Pedophile in Chief Trump:
Pretty darn good summation of our total complicit asses involved in murder:
UN Special Rapporteur Issues Report Detailing Corporate Machinery that Profits Off Immiseration of Palestinians
Jul 14, 2025
Francesca Albanese [Source: aljazeera.com]
In early July, Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, issued a damning report detailing how large corporations profit from the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza and genocide in Gaza that has taken place since October 7, 2023.
Albanese is an Italian legal scholar and human rights expert who has long been critical of the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories, and has specified before the UN that Israel is responsible for carrying out a genocide in Gaza.
In a letter addressed to UN Secretary-General on June 20, 2025, the Trump administration called for Albanese’s removal from her current position due to her alleged support for terrorism and anti-Semitism—allegations that are without foundation.[1]
Previously, more than 100 human rights groups came to Albanese’s defense after she was subjected to a smear campaign by the Israeli government.
Citing a newly published study by Harvard University Press on the corporations that built the British Empire, Albanese begins her report by noting that “[c]olonial endeavors and associated genocides have historically been driven and enabled by the corporate sector.”
Albanese goes on to state that the corporate sector has immeasurably contributed to the Israeli colonization of Palestinian lands and displacement of its population dating to the 1948 Nakba and 1967 Six-Day War (when Israel took control over the West Bank and Gaza) by “providing Israel with the weapons and machinery required to destroy homes, schools, hospitals, places of leisure and worship, livelihoods and productive assets, such as olive groves and orchards, to segregate and control communities and to restrict access to natural resources.”
Albanese continues: “By helping to militarize and incentivize illegal Israeli presence in the occupied Palestinian territory, the corporate sector has contributed to the creation of the conditions for Palestinian ethnic cleansing.”
Albanese identifies Elbit Systems, Israel Aerospace Industries, and Lockheed Martin as key weapons suppliers profiting massively off occupation and war that have enabled Israel’s genocide of Gazans.[2]
Lockheed Martin produces the F-35 and F-16 fighter jets, which “have been integral to equipping Israel with the unprecedented aerial power to drop an estimated 85,000 tons of bombs, much of it unguided, to kill and injure more than 179,411 Palestinians and obliterate Gaza,” according to Albanese.
Albanese goes on to discuss the collaboration between Elbit Systems and the Israeli Defense Ministry and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the development of new drone technologies, including drone swarms, that are used to terrorize Palestinians.
Shipping companies like the Danish giant A.P. Moller-Maersk, meanwhile, make huge profits shipping weapons to Israel.
Tech giants provide the computer, artificial intelligence (AI) and data analysis systems that are used to spy on the Palestinians and help Israel develop more effective social control over them.
One of the key tech companies, IBM, was deeply complicit in the Nazi Holocaust. Since 2019, it has operated a central database enabling the Israeli governmental use of biometric data on Palestinians, and supporting a discriminatory permit regime.
Before IBM, Hewlett Packard [now Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)] maintained the database and its Israeli subsidiary is still providing servers to Israel’s military and police so it can better subjugate the Palestinian population.
Microsoft, co-founded by Bill Gates, is another tech company whose technologies are embedded in Israeli institutions, and it has major contracts with the Israeli military for systematizing its software.
In 2021, Israel awarded Alphabet Inc. (Google) and Amazon.com, Inc., a $1.2 billion contract (Project Nimbus)—largely funded through the Ministry of Defense—to provide additional core tech infrastructure to Israel. These three companies—Microsoft, Alphabet and Amazon—have granted Israel virtually government-wide access to their cloud and artificial intelligence technologies, further enhancing its social control capabilities.
Palantir, a CIA-startup company at the cutting edge of new AI technologies, has helped the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) develop artificial intelligence systems such as “Lavender,” “Gospel” and “Where’s Daddy?” to process data and generate lists of targets for bombing operations.
In January 2024, Palantir announced a new strategic partnership with Israel and held a board meeting in Tel Aviv “in solidarity” with it.
Albanese goes on to discuss Caterpillar Inc.’s provision of bulldozers and other equipment used to demolish Palestinian homes and infrastructure over decades.
According to Albanese, Israel has evolved Caterpillar’s D9 bulldozer into automated, remote-commanded core weaponry of the military, deployed in almost every military activity since 2000, clearing incursion lines, “neutralizing” territory and killing Palestinians.
Hyundai and Volvo have also provided equipment to the IDF that has been used to raze Palestinian areas, including East Jerusalem, and to raze farmland, including olive groves. Additionally, they have supplied equipment used to construct what Albanese terms “illegal colonies” taken over by Israeli settlers for at least 10 years.[3]
The real estate company Keller Williams’ complicity in Israeli occupation became apparent when it ran a real-estate roadshow in Canada and the U.S. sponsored with companies developing and marketing thousands of apartments for Jewish settlers in the West Bank.
The Alabama-based Drummond Co., whose founder Gary Drummond[4] was close to Bill Clinton, and the Swiss-based Glencore, founded by another top Clinton donor and felon, Marc Rich[5], are Israel’s primary suppliers of coal.
Chevron’s consortium supplied more than 70% of Israel’s energy consumption and supplies Israeli refineries that produce jet fuel for IDF planes that bomb Gaza.[6]
Albanese notes that, “by supplying Israel with coal, gas, oil and fuel, companies are contributing to civilian infrastructures that Israel uses to entrench permanent annexation and now weaponizes in the destruction of Palestinian life in Gaza. The same infrastructure that these companies supply resources into has serviced the Israeli military and its energy-intensive tech-driven obliteration of Gaza.”
At the end of her report, Albanese discusses the financial industry’s investment in war and occupation-profiteering companies. She points out that the Wall Street behemoth BlackRock is the second largest institutional investor in Palantir, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet and IBM, and the third largest in Lockheed Martin and Caterpillar.
Another Wall Street giant, Vanguard, is the largest institutional investor in Caterpillar, Chevron and Palantir, and the second largest in Lockheed Martin and Elbit Systems.
Additional aspects of Albanese’s report discuss the importance of faith-based charities and universities in supporting the infrastructure of military occupation and genocide.
The latter entities do this in part by erasing the Palestinian perspective from their curricula and by supporting research into weapons systems that are used to kill Palestinians, most egregiously at MIT—Benjamin Netanyahu’s alma mater.
Albanese makes comparisons in her report not only to the British Empire but also Nazi Germany, where the Nuremberg tribunal prosecuted German corporate executives in companies like I.G. Farben that helped influence Hitler’s policies and profited from the genocide of the Jews.
A new Nuremberg-style tribunal is needed today to hold corporate executives accountable for their crimes in Gaza and elsewhere around the world.
Unfortunately, there is no outside power stronger than either the U.S. or Israel at this time that could stage such a trial and make the perpetrators accountable for their actions.
Albanese herself calls for sanctions and a full arms embargo on Israel and payment of reparations to Palestinian victims.
These measures would be welcome although the current power-dynamic in the world makes them unlikely to materialize.
Ultimately, what is really needed is a mass movement of people committed to socialist transformation.
U.S. Pouring Hundreds of Millions Into IDF Bases
As the corporate profiteering and IDF rampage continues, Haaretz reported based on a review of newly surfaced U.S. Army Corps of Engineers documents that the U.S. is overseeing a sprawling military construction initiative in Israel with projects valued at more than $1.5 billion.
Financed through military assistance provided under a $3.8 billion annual aid package agreed to by former President Barack Obama, the upgraded basing network is designed to accommodate the Israel Air Force’s new refueling aircraft and helicopters, a new headquarters for the IDF’s Shayetet 13 naval commando unit, and launching pads for Lockheed F-15 and F-35 fighter jets.
Middle East Monitor reported that despite U.S. officials claiming the aid is for mutual security, the scale of America’s construction projects in Israel “shows something else entirely: deep, long term military entrenchment.”
One new U.S. funded project at Tei Nof airbase involves construction of expanded runways and building of new hangars to prepare for Israel’s new CH-53K military helicopters. Other projects involve the construction of new piers for the Israeli Navy, building underground bunkers and command centers, expanding weapons storage and renovating housing for U.S military personnel stationed at Israeli bases.
The Middle East Monitor said that together these projects “paint a clear picture: the U.S. isn’t just supporting Israel with weapons—its physically building the infrastructure of Israel’s military power, on Israel soil, with American money.” To the ultimate benefit, one might add, of the “merchants of death” cited in Albanese’s report.
For previous articles on corporate war-profiteering and the efforts of activists to hold corporate executives responsible, see here, here and here. I have also reported on secret U.S. military base facilities in Israel.
The Trump administration has also placed sanctions on Albanese who has been subjected to repeated smear attacks and death threats for helping to expose U.S.-Israeli war crimes and human rights violations and trying to hold officials accountable for their misconduct. See Chris Hedges, “The Persecution of Francesca Albanese,” Consortium News, July 10, 2025. ↑
Albanese writes that the 65% surge in Israeli military spending from 2023 to 2024—amounting to $46.5 billion, one of the highest per capita worldwide—generated a sharp surge in the annual profits of Elbit Systems, Israel Aerospace Industries and other war-profiteering companies. ↑
Albanese writes that Hyundai and Volvo “have continued supplying the Israeli market despite abundant evidence of the criminal use of this machinery by Israel and repeated calls from human rights groups to sever ties. Passive suppliers become deliberate contributors to a system of displacement.” ↑

And, alas, all those idiots saying Israel is Doing USA’s Dirty work. Flip that fucking script, please:
“By Way of Deception”: Mossad’s Duplicity and Washington’s Complicity
How Mossad’s spyware, America’s silence, and the weaponization of loyalty expose a crisis in alliance, narrative, and justice
Despite billions in military aid, cutting-edge technological support, and unflinching diplomatic shielding, the United States is routinely surveilled by the very ally it sustains. Through Mossad, Israel reciprocates not with loyalty but with layered espionage — described by former CIA operative Andrew Bustamante as gifts laced with spyware and collaboration steeped in distrust. For many Americans, this moral asymmetry cuts against the intuitive link between generosity and allegiance.
In a now-viral segment of Julian Dorey’s Podcast #224, Bustamante recounts how Mossad would offer the CIA “presents” — usually tech or intelligence tools — routinely embedded with spyware. The anecdote isn’t exceptional; it’s emblematic. Mossad’s ethos, shaped by a Zionist statecraft that privileges domination over accountability, is unapologetic: deception over transparency, survival over solidarity, interests over alliances. Its guiding credo, “By way of deception, thou shalt do war,” isn’t rhetorical flourish. It’s a tactical doctrine where manipulation is sacred, ethical boundaries expendable, and strategic betrayal, even of benefactors, fully normalized.
While the CIA navigates diplomatic constraint and executive oversight, Mossad operates with doctrinal autonomy. The asymmetry is both operational and philosophical, and it reverberates negatively against Palestinians through policymaking, intelligence norms, and the moral language of alliance.
The asymmetry at the heart of the U.S.–Israel alliance — where unconditional aid meets strategic betrayal — is not a diplomatic fluke. It’s structural. Mossad’s ethos of deception, embedded in Zionist doctrine, offers a blueprint for unaccountable power: surveillance recast as partnership, aggression disguised as preemption. And U.S. policy doesn’t just tolerate this calculus — it amplifies it.
Take the 2021 Iron Dome funding debate. Despite evidence that the system shielded bombing campaigns in Gaza, lawmakers across the aisle framed it as a humanitarian imperative, divorced from on-the-ground realities. U.S.–Israel intelligence collaboration, including joint surveillance tools and biometric databases, has empowered Shin Bet’s predictive policing — marking Palestinian youth as preemptive threats based on algorithmic suspicion.
Mossad’s operations targeting U.S. diplomats or breaching counterintelligence norms are met with silence — not for lack of evidence, but because the alliance is sacrosanct. Within this schema, deception is valorized as strategic brilliance. The result: policy frameworks that privilege impunity over principle, alliance over accountability, and erasure over evidence.
Zionist statecraft doesn’t limit deception to espionage. It encodes it into the very architecture of governance. In Gaza, Israel’s doctrine of “mowing the lawn” — a euphemism for routine mass bombardment — reframes civilian annihilation as counterterrorism. The 2024 ICJ ruling that Israel’s occupation of Gaza, East Jerusalem, and the West Bank is illegal was met with escalated settlement expansion and settler militia violence, especially in Area C. These militias, often armed and protected, displace Palestinian shepherds and Bedouin communities under the guise of “security zones.” Western diplomatic cover transforms ethnic cleansing into a strategic imperative.
Such logic has precedent. The Balfour Declaration of 1917 and the Ha’avara Agreement with Nazi Germany exemplify how Zionist institutions have historically leveraged imperial power to entrench colonial dominance. Today, the pattern persists — this time through the U.S., enabling Israel’s impunity via normalized apartheid. Land seizures, movement restrictions, and denial of citizenship are branded as defensive maneuvers against a population rendered suspect by design. In this matrix, security is no longer protection — it is pretext. Realpolitik is not pragmatism — it’s the ideological lubricant for a project of erasure.
Israel’s impunity is insulated not just by military superiority or diplomatic muscle, but also by narrative armor. It re-codes transgression as necessity, dominance as defense. This ideological scaffolding leans heavily on Holocaust memory, existential anxiety, and the language of perpetual threat. Israel, as it professes to the world, does not merely defend itself — it defends “civilization” against barbarism. In this schema, preemptive strikes, indefinite detentions, and siege warfare are rebranded as moral imperatives.
Consider Mossad’s extrajudicial assassinations — across sovereign states from Lebanon to Malaysia. Rarely condemned, they’re framed as tactical genius, immortalized in Hollywood, and repackaged as heroic innovation. The logic: Israeli violence is uniquely legible, rooted in historical trauma and the burden of Jewish survival. Meanwhile, Palestinian resistance — regardless of its alignment with international anti-colonial norms — is treated as structurally illegitimate.
More insidiously, Zionist exceptionalism weaponizes the language of liberal democracy to obscure apartheid. Israel brands itself “the only democracy in the Middle East” while imposing dual legal regimes: one for Jewish settlers, another for Palestinians under occupation. Anti-Semitism discourse is instrumentalized to collapse critique of Israeli policy into hatred of Jewish people. This isn’t accidental — it’s tactical. It recasts settler colonialism as a civilizational crusade, where indigenous erasure becomes a sacred necessity.
In intelligence, this logic mirrors Mossad’s playbook: deceive, distort, dominate — not in defiance of moral codes, but in their name. Spyware-laced “gifts,” institutional infiltration, and normalization of double agency are strategic affirmations of a sacred mission. Subversion is sanctified — deception, a birthright.
The U.S. response to Mossad’s tactics isn’t shaped by ignorance. Americans working in tech are aware that Israeli industrial actors not only conduct corporate espionage frequently, but when suspected and reported, US agencies routinely refuse to investigate and prosecute flagrant incidents happening right under their noses, even when they acknowledge them. Israel’s supposed tech innovations in surveillance, monitoring, and data processing are almost never of Israeli origin.
This is because American foreign policy reflects ideological alignment with Israel guided by beliefs that frame power as virtue. Through exceptionalism, the U.S. views itself as morally superior and selectively applies standards of accountability. Liberal hegemony drives efforts to remake the world in its image, promoting democracy and markets through military and diplomatic dominance. Coupled with a commitment to military primacy, these ideologies filter which actions are condemned, and which are excused. This framework makes criticism of allies like Israel politically off-limits.
These US ideological blinders find a parallel in Zionist exceptionalism, a belief system that frames Israel as uniquely entitled to moral and political legitimacy regardless of its actions. Zionist exceptionalism positions Israeli identity as singularly virtuous or historically burdened, allowing its violence to be rationalized while Palestinian resistance is pathologized. Through this lens, institutions — from media to academia — internalize and reproduce a hierarchy of legitimacy that shields Israeli conduct from scrutiny and casts Palestinian survival as suspect:
· Media Framing
Western news outlets routinely sanitize Israeli violence. Airstrikes on Gaza become “clashes,” settler pogroms morph into “tensions,” and apartheid infrastructure is relabeled as “security measures.” Palestinian death tolls are framed as collateral, not structural. When Pegasus spyware infiltrates journalists’ devices, the story is tech anomaly — not political scandal. This reframing immunizes Israel from the condemnation reserved for other regimes.
· Academic Gatekeeping
In elite institutions, Palestine is cordoned into conflict studies or security modules, where strategy is foregrounded and ethics obscured. Pro-Israel funding shapes hiring, grants, and symposia — curbing inquiry. Palestinian scholars face visa barriers, censorship, and academic isolation. Epistemic sovereignty itself becomes suspect. The unspoken rule: only certain voices may speak on occupation.
· Diplomatic Shielding
Despite mounting documentation — UN reports, ICC investigations, human rights testimonies — Israel evades accountability. U.S. vetoes act as firewall. Joint intelligence agreements elevate Mossad as a strategic partner, even amid exposed deception. The irony is brutal: the very tools of international law and diplomacy are weaponized to preserve Zionist impunity.
The network of global complicity described above doesn’t just excuse asymmetry — it operationalizes it. Mossad’s espionage becomes cleverness; Israeli apartheid is cast as pragmatism; Palestinian survival is treated as threat.
Challenging U.S. indulgence is not an editorial choice — it is a geopolitical imperative. To confront Zionist impunity, we must dismantle the narratives that sustain it. That means building systems where Palestinian testimony, memory, and resistance are treated not as exceptional — but as authoritative. It means decoupling legitimacy from militarized alliances, and redefining security not as domination, but as dignity.
This is a moral reckoning. It demands stripping espionage of glamour, exposing diplomacy’s complicity, and confronting the ideological machinery that enables betrayal. In doing so, we don’t merely name the asymmetry — we reject it. We counter it with frameworks of accountability, transparency, and liberation — rewriting the script that has too long cast domination as Palestine’s destiny. That script is over.

Then the horror the horror the whores: Keep America Pimped Out Again!
"Until Friday evening, I was the senior ethics attorney at the Department of Justice responsible for advising the Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General directly on federal employee ethics," he wrote, in part, on LinkedIn. "I was also responsible for the day-to-day operations of the ethics program across the Department.
"I led a small, dedicated team of professionals and coordinated the work of some 30 other full-time ethics officials, attorneys, paralegals and other specialists across the Department of Justice, ensuring that the 117,000 Department employees were properly advised on and supported in how to follow the Federal employee ethics rules."
Newsweek reached out to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for comment via its contact form Monday afternoon.
Tirrell's dismissal comes amid turmoil at the DOJ over the Jeffrey Epstein files and Bondi's promise to release them, before an about-face last week. She has also moved to fire those who worked with former special counsel Jack Smith on two investigations into President Donald Trump during the Biden administration.
Six ways to witness genocide in Gaza without losing your sanity Rima Najjar
So, here are a few tips on how to be present in this nightmare, awake and Conscionable
1. Disabuse yourself of any lingering illusions related to the United States’ government policy in the Middle East, its so-called “values,” and its key corporate media discussion forums like the Sunday morning shows (ABC’s This Week, CBS’s Face the Nation, NBC’s Meet the Press, CNN’s State of the Union and Fox News Sunday), which speak primarily in the voice of government officials. You can safely tune them all out and filter US pronouncements through Al Mayadeen’s or other trusted media discussion forums that consistently thread their way through the maze of US doublespeak. If you are American, join the Uncommitted National Movement to put pressure on Kamala Harris in key swing states, including Michigan.
2. Understand that the international regime as represented by UNSC has no credibility. It is dominated by the US-centralized empire — i.e., the extensive political, economic, military, and cultural influence that the United States exerts globally. Historically, the US has vetoed numerous resolutions that called for Israel to adhere to international laws, recognize Palestinian statehood, or halt settlement activities in occupied territories. The US continues to veto a framework for peace in Palestine by blocking resolutions that criticize Israel’s actions in Gaza or call for measures to protect Palestinian civilians, most recently blocking a resolution for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, blocking another that called for “humanitarian pauses,” and another that condemned violence against civilians and called for adherence to humanitarian law.
3. Whereas there are no indications that the international regime will be transformed soon, there are indications that the dynamic between Arab Gulf countries and Iran is evolving. Iran is expanding its influence in the Middle East and has become a direct challenge to the power and influence of the United States in Gulf countries that now realize the strategy of the US to maintain Israel’s chokehold on Palestinians has failed. It is the US and Israel that now pose a threat to the security of the Gulf states and the whole region.
4. Be aware that, in the same way that the accusation of antisemitism has lost its potency for being falsely used on a large scale by Zionists, the accusation of terrorism has also lost its integrity for the same reason. Journalist Jonathan Cook writes on Facebook: “Israel just keeps widening the circle of ‘terrorists’: from Hamas to the entire Palestinian people, to the United Nations, to the International Court of Justice, to the International Criminal Court. The question you should be asking yourself is: How long before I’m declared a terrorist?”
5. Have faith in the axis of resistance. Their cause is just and they are proving themselves on the battle field beyond measure. As Caitlin Johnstone writes in Caitlin’s Newsletter, “October 7 was entirely a response to generations of abuse against the Palestinian people by the state of Israel, so the correct response to it would have been to heal those abuses in a way that is agreeable to the Palestinians. This would likely include ceding large amounts of land, the payment of very extensive reparations from Israel (and ideally from its wealthy western allies as well), eliminating all unjust laws and apartheid systems, a comprehensive push to purge society of the toxins of anti-Palestinian racism and Islamophobia, the right of Palestinians in exile to return to their homeland, and the negotiation of a peace agreement which yields so much that even the most hardline factions in Palestinian society would be compelled to agree with it.”
6. Pray for Israel to implode from within as well as without before it destroys the world.
In short, as you bear witness to the horror, keep firmly in mind the end of all the illusions and misconceptions that you might have accumulated over decades of US and Zionist PR, and put all your faith in the resistance.
Here it is, the Dirty U$A of Israel, going for those Congo Minerals. Africa is cooked, man, loving the fucking USA's cultural (sic) chlamydia consumer crack.
Kambale Musavuli, an analyst with the Center for Research on the Congo-Kinshasa, joins The Freedom Side to discuss the June 27 peace deal between the DRC and Rwanda. The deal aims to put an end to the Rwanda-backed M23 violence that has killed and displaced hundreds of thousands. Musavuli will explain how Washington is using peace talks to secure Congo’s vast resources and spin it as a Nobel-worthy achievement.
