. . . this is the death of our world, really, with older and meaner and Kissinger-like fascists getting their cake to eat us TOO.

And, yet, the One Percent and the Point Zero Zero Zero One Percent, are eating us alive. Soylent Green?

The richest 1% of humanity is responsible for more carbon emissions than the poorest 66%, with dire consequences for vulnerable communities and global efforts to tackle the climate emergency, a report says.

The world faces twin crises of climate breakdown and runaway inequality. The richest people, corporations and countries are destroying the world with their huge carbon emissions. Meanwhile, people living in poverty, those experiencing marginalization, and countries in the Global South are those impacted the hardest. Women and girls, Indigenous Peoples, people living in poverty and other groups experiencing discrimination are particularly at a disadvantage. The consequences of climate breakdown are felt in all parts of the world and by most people, yet only the richest people and countries have the wealth, power and influence to protect themselves. With that power comes huge responsibility.

Never ever is the word WAR put into the equation. Or, Military Rampant Felonious Complex Assaults On Humanity is that ever spoken of, uh?

Goddamn, we are fucked. The gardener for POTUS. PLEASE.

President Joe Biden is celebrating his 81st birthday on Monday, as questions about age continue to dominate the 2024 election.

Biden is the oldest commander in chief in U.S. history. If reelected, he will be 82 at the start of his second term and 86 when it ends.

Former President Donald Trump, the Republican front-runner, isn’t far behind at 77 years old. But Biden has so far faced more scrutiny over his age than Trump, though both have experienced noticeable blunders on the campaign trail.

Not a criminal, no, Joe? Not a thug, no, Joe? Not a rascist, Joe? Not an accused rapist, Joe? Not a thief. Mister President? Not a laughing skeleton saying he had put more crimes on the books for the death penalty, no, Joe? Nah, he’s a great human kind of Dirty Dealing Democrat.

Blood on his hands: Four of the five prisoners are eligible for federal executions because of the 1994 crime law Biden wrote and shepherded to passage while he was the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

The federal death penalty was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in Furman v. Georgia in 1972. When it was reinstated in 1988, only those convicted of murder in federal court while engaging in containing criminal enterprise were eligible for the death penalty.

Ahh, more fascists in the driver’s seat, this time, Argentina:

What did this admirable character ride to the throne on? The role of the state in the economy should be minimized. The national currency should be replaced by the US dollar, the Central Bank of Argentina should be abolished, as well as many ministries. Legalization of substances, prostitution, free sale of weapons. Abolition of all government subsidies and social safety nets for workers. Refusal to join BRICS. Freezing relations with Russia, China and Brazil. He is said to communicate with his dead dog through a medium. He also asks dead politicians for advice.

Who better to be president of Argentina?

Of course, for all his railing against the elite “caste” (la casta) Milei is no anti-establishment candidate, and has won the election with the support of key right-wing establishment politicians. The main leaders of the traditional bourgeois right wing, former president Macri and defeated presidential candidate Bullrich, threw their lot behind Milei for the run-off, in the hope of being able to play a decisive role in his eventual government.

Meanwhile, the most far-sighted capitalists and international capital favoured Massa, whom they considered more capable of carrying out the policy they need (namely, a harsh monetarist shock against the working class), because of the links his movement has with the trade union bureaucracy, through which they hoped he could keep the masses under control. They fear Milei’s brash approach could provoke a social explosion. They are not wrong. (source)

[Milei is an extremely reactionary politician but he does not represent the coming to power of fascism]

Now, get sane and listen to this Abby and Alana talk. Makes you proud these Americanos came out okay. Yessirree!

But, Abby and Alalna, remember: American Jews are Zionists, 7 out of 10. Or, 7.5 out of 10. A sick tribe, man.

In early November, the American Institute ‘Jewish Electorate’ conducted measurements of public sentiment in the diaspora and came to two main conclusions.

1) An overwhelming majority (74%) of American Jews approve of President Biden’s handling of the conflict between Israel and Hamas.

2) In the presidential race, American Jews clearly prefer Biden (68%) over Trump (22%).

Interestingly, in the entire Jewish community there is only one group that likes Trump: Orthodox Jews.

Then, bankrolling the murder machines, thanks very much taxpayer.

And, near homelessness is increasing, housing insecurity, national infrastructure is at a D-minus, but we just bend over and take it in the proverbial taxpayer’s rear, while those fucking parents just love Johnny and Jane getting those engineering and coding and EE and software and robotics degrees!

As Top War points out, DARPA has been particularly prescriptive about the requirements for the SPRINT demonstrator. DARPA demands that the aircraft must be able to reach a top speed of at least 400 knots (460 mph/740 km/h) at altitudes between 15,000-30,000 feet (4,500-9,000 meters) and have a payload capacity of at least 1,000 pounds (454 kg). It should also be scalable for different mission types and have a flight time of at least 90 minutes, with a range of at least 230 miles (370 km).

The propulsion and control methods requirements are not specified for the demonstrator aircraft. However, it needs to have the capabilities of high-speed cruising, hovering in austere environments, and launching or landing on unprepared surfaces such as parking lots, highways, or fields.

These are the tools of the fucking penis envy shits, male and female.

Oh, all those black budgets, all those fused academic-private industry-government agency-DoD-CIA-Israel-Et Al programs that have screwed humanity for decades.

The Pentagon Advanced Research Agency DARPA and the Special Operations Command; CIA Labs also promotes and enables scientific research initiatives by providing workforce development expertise in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, national security, and intelligence. Additionally, CIA Labs promotes and enables partnerships for development of technology. In-Q-Tel now engages with entrepreneurs, growth companies, researchers, and … “In-Q-Tel, CIA’s Venture Arm, Invests in Secrets”.

Endless proxies, endless budgets! Until the last Ukranian or Gazan or Russian or Chinese or . . .

Back at it with another fucking Marcos and more death upon the Philippines:

“Mark Twain commented on the Philippine war: We have pacified some thousands of the islanders and buried them; destroyed their fields; burned their villages, and turned their widows and orphans out-of-doors; furnished heartbreak by exile to some dozens of disagreeable patriots; subjugated the remaining ten millions by Benevolent Assimilation, which is the pious new name of the musket; we have acquired property in the three hundred concubines and other slaves of our business partner, the Sultan of Sulu, and hoisted our protecting flag over that swag. And so, by these Providences of God—and the phrase is the government’s, not mine—we are a World Power.”

―Howard Zinn,A People’s History of the United States

I heard from a friend who works with a 29 year old, cleaning homes for an Air B & B, , and she said she is so broken by the events of the world that she just wants to quit her job, leave her husband and just curl up into a ball. That is the plan, Man. The media, the schools, the neighbors, the entire background noise of this shit hole country, you just pick it all up by osmosis. Pick it up, all, that is, the Exceptionalism and hubris and the best in the west, with all those fucing supidifyingly stupid flicks, Batman versus Superman, what have you, man, we are troglodyts, empty heads, blackened hearts, and we are the BIPOC uncle Toms and Oreo’s, the LGBTQA+ rah rah groups for the Ukrainian Nazis and Banderaistas. THe plan is to do the freeze or fear routine, the collective anxiety, and the fear porn is poverty, climate, chemicals in fetuses, edge of nuclear war, and on and on, even the shit on the streets of San Fran or Portlandia. Fear fear fear, and the 24-7-365 shit show that is TV-Cable-Online “news,” it does a number on the kids and the grannies. She’s paralyzed by all that which is happening in the world? Not sure which “what’s happening in the world is just making me so afraid” she is referring to, but let’s give her this: Millions facing deadly disease because of displacement because of war because of the military murder complex selling fucking despots and government tools of civilian death!i

1.2 million of the displaced have fled to neighboring countries. The remaining 4.8 million remain displaced within the national borders, adding to the 3.7 million Internally Displaced People (IDPs) already uprooted from their homes in the previous conflicts before this war. This makes Sudan “the country with the largest number of displaced people,” according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

Amid what the UN Security Council also described on Thursday as “the world’s largest displacement crisis,” the WHO has reported at least 2,525 suspected cases of Cholera/Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD) in five States as of November 9, with a fatality rate of over 3%. The OCHA warned last week that the disease is likely to spread to eight of Sudan’s 18 States by December, putting “more than 3.1 million people” at risk of infection.

Gazan children bombed with those USA-Jewish bombs bursting in air, or on schools and hospitals, or the endless saber rattling with China, and then North Korea, and here we are: unrepresentative misleadership, a government on the run, but chasing the shit out of us, the citizens.

Death by numbers: Israel’s membership of the United Nations was approved in 1949. Unlike other states, it was approved conditionally upon Israel complying with Partition Resolution 181 as to the limits of the Israeli State, and UN Resolution 194, allowing the return of refugees. Israel has complied with neither condition. It refuses to define its borders and is today governed by an Apartheid regime that has murdered over 4,500 children in Gaza in the space of one month. Israel’s membership of the UN must be illegal. It should be expelled from the community of nations.

Which fucking bad state of affairs is this Air B & B cleaner tapping into? This? Nope.

The Israelis and their US sponsors have created a world where it’s normal to fire on hospitals, journalists and UN workers while killing 5,500 children in 45 days. Rania Khalek will be joined by Prof. As’ad Abukhalil for a special live episode of Dispatches to discuss the genocide in Gaza, western double standards and racism towards Palestinians, Israel’s bad propaganda, and growing resistance from the Middle East to the streets of the US.

LINK.

Maybe if our Air B & B cleaner would tap into Abby Martin or Rania, the world for her would be, well, more forward facing, not retracting, or devolving. We are attempting to beat the systems, to expose the systems, and these two fine women are just a few you Air B & B worker can tap into.

Another leading female voice? Tamara Nassar, the associate editor of The Electronic Intifada, explains how the solidarity movement with Palestine and the consequences of the conflict is affecting the broader political scene in Jordan. LINK.

If this doesn’t run shivers up your spine, then you are a buggered bugger?

It’s painful to watch, and I sent my friend this video of Zionist mercenaries throwing bound behind the back Gazans/Hamas/Citizens/Men (they looked tortured, barefoot, not all blindfolded, but all thrown into a big bulldozed pit and then, two bullets to the head. Yep, mercenaries from Bangladesh, in the employ of the IDF, the Jewish State of Jewish Israel. I will not post it here. It is mass grave making hell, and mercenaries with uniforms supplied by Israel are the very thing that Jewish State of Israel stands for — murder on a scale of old SS and Gestapo and Nazi pogroms.

This photo says it all. Biden is 81, and he gives a fuck about people in Gaza. He and his Jewish White House are all in for “everyone in Gaza is a combatant” smear the IDF of the Jewish State of Jewish Israel is mouthing.

This is the face, the falling body, of the leaders of the world:

And then this fucking BIPOC billionaire:

Who the fuck cares about this shit hole, Mrs. Carter’s passing or the POTUS’s Depends Diaper 81st fucking Gorvette Stingray birthday?

The monsters do not care:

And that’s Blinken-Nuland-Garland-Yellen-Kagan and Biden’s Jewish Zionist buddies and in-laws and grandchildren.

The Jewish State of Zionist Jewish Israel kills their own:

Fucking stress management programs for our State Department killers?

In Washington, both Blinken and Acting Deputy Secretary Victoria Nuland have met multiple times with employees from across the department, including those serving in the Near East Affairs and Political-Military Affairs bureaus. The meetings have been emotionally charged and included candid exchanges, and some have been standing-room-only, two sources familiar with them said.

Stress management support groups have been set up for employees stationed in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, as have support groups for American Muslims, Arab Americans and people affected by antisemitism. Mental health resources have also been made available to those affected by the conflict, including a dedicated online hub hosting additional wellness resources.

Blinken has sent workforce-wide messages about his own diplomatic engagements in the region. He is completing a second multi-country tour this week. After stops in Israel, the West Bank, Jordan, Cyprus, Iraq and Turkey, he continued on to Asia.

At least one State Department official is known to have resigned his post in recent weeks. Josh Paul, a longtime employee who worked on arms transfers within the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, posted a letter on LinkedIn spelling out his disagreement with the administration’s decision to provide additional lethal support to Israel, which he called “shortsighted, destructive, unjust, and contradictory to the very values that we publicly espouse.”

Know your enemy. Look into her in the eyes. Then, well, Molotovs, or is that L’Chaim? Goddman, we don’t make heroes like this fellow. Imagine 500,000 AmeriKKKans with 500,000 Molotovs like our man here!

Imagine.

Dream on, boy, dream on. Tossed at their fucking houses:

Imagine that Stingray?

Goddamn, a young old man can dream.

Easy as one-two-three:

The entire Blinken Clan? Bye-bye.

Dream on, boy, dream on, boy:

Son-of-a-bitch it’s easy as pie:

All those photos from fucking Fox News-Owned National Geographic: The history of the Molotov cocktail, an iconic weapon of underdogs

Giving tips on the UkroNaziLandians on how to make the cocktail. Irony, man, irony.

And, so, AmeriKKKans, the Brits endorse the Molotov:

During World War II, Britain seized on Molotov cocktails as an important defence against the feared Nazi invasion. In 1940, Tom Wintringham, a veteran of the Spanish Civil War’s international brigades, published a guide to Molotov cocktails in the popular British magazine Picture Post. After providing a recipe for the devices, he told readers how to use them.

“Wait for your tank. When near enough, your pal lights [the] petrol-soaked corner of the blanket. Throw the bottle and blanket as soon as this corner is flaring. (You cannot throw it far.) See that it drops in front of the tank. The blanket should catch in the tracks or in a cog-wheel, or wind itself round an axle. The bottle will smash, but the petrol should soak the blanket well enough to make a really healthy fire which will burn the rubber wheels on which the tank track runs, set fire to the carburetor or frizzle the crew.”

“Do not play with these things,” he concluded. “They are highly dangerous.”

Proudly endorsed by fancy art museums.

Molotov Man is the single best-known image by Susan Meiselas, a Magnum photographer who has worked between and interrogated traditions of documentary over her decades-long career. The photograph captures Pablo Aráuz, known as Bareta, a member of the leftist Sandinista resistance during the Nicaraguan popular insurrection, throwing a Molotov cocktail in a Pepsi bottle at the National Guard headquarters in Esteli, one of the last strongholds of governmental power at the conflict’s end. Meiselas’s composition, with its strong convergence of action, silhouette, and defiance, became an icon and, as such, an image that began to move beyond her control as its maker. The Life of an Image: “Molotov Man,” 1979–2009 is the installation piece she created to explore the potency of circulation, revealing the contrasting perspectives that have evolved through the image’s multiple lives.

Meiselas arrived in Nicaragua on June 1, 1978, compelled by news of the assassination of Pedro Joaquin Chamorro, the editor of the newspaperLa Prensa, who opposed the American–supported right-wing dictator Anastasio Somoza Debayle. Meiselas first made contact with Carlos Fernando Chamorro, the son of the assassinated editor, and began to accompany local journalists as they reported on student protests. She used her privilege as an American citizen to access the training of Somoza’s National Guard, armed by the United States. Access to both sides was key in order for her to explore, in her words, the “reality behind American foreign policy,” namely its support for violent right-wing dictatorships in Latin America as part of a Cold War strategy to prevent the spread of Communism.

Come on, Nicaragua, send Palestine gasoline for the lights and generators and Molotovs for the Jewish State of Israel Jewish IDF. Immolation of these freaks would be another start:
