Hitler Didn’t Have Anything On the Minyans, the Zyklon Blinkens, the Fascists in Heir Trump’s Adolph Bibi Carnival!

February 25, 2024

And I know a million fuckers on Substack and in the streets and on Podcasts and just around the corner who love buggered lives of this monster Trump/Kushner/Miller/ Thiel/Ellison/Minyans Galore!

[Armed officers blocked Oregon U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici and other Democratic members of Congress from entering the U.S. Department of Education building on Friday morning as they sought a meeting with the agency’s acting director about reports that President Donald Trump was preparing to take illegal action to abolish or dismantle the agency.]

Something about fucking judges in the Shit Hole?

A federal judge Friday evening refused to block the Labor Department from giving Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) access to confidential systems or power to fire employees for refusing to hand over the credentials.

U.S. District Judge John Bates found the plaintiffs hadn’t show enough injury to have legal standing to bring the lawsuit.

Professional managerial and CEO class, the white ghouls of the earth. Not salt of the earth, but the arsenic of the earth.

Russell Vought Orders Consumer Protection Bureau’s Headquarters Closed for a Week

The order to shutter the agency’s headquarters follows another order issued Saturday by Mr. Vought, who also leads the Office of Management and Budget, telling agency employees to halt nearly all their work.

Staff and contractors at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau have been told that the bureau’s Washington headquarters will be “closed this week” and that they must work remotely, according to an internal email obtained by NPR.

No reason was given for the building’s closure. Representatives of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency team were seen at the headquarters on Friday, according to the union representing CFPB staff, and have been granted access to key systems, stirring concerns about the fate of the vast amount of sensitive information maintained by the bureau.

The bureau’s staff were informed over the weekend that Russell Vought is now acting director of the CFPB, the country’s consumer protection watchdog. Vought was an architect of the conservative policy agenda Project 2025 and was confirmed last week as director of the Office of Management and Budget.

Garber’s Sunday message is a significantly more pointed indictment of the Trump administration than the mellow statement he issued following the White House’s now-rescinded order directing a federal fund freeze.

“When other nations are expanding their investment in science, America should not drop knowingly and willingly from her lead position on the endless frontier,” Garber wrote in Sunday’s email.

Former Harvard Medical School Dean Jeffrey Flier wrote in a post on X that Trump’s order would “cause chaos and harm biomedical research and researchers in hospitals, schools and institutes nationwide.”

“A sane government would never do this,” Flier wrote.

A sane society of the rich, the well-placed, the elite (sic), the highly educated (sic), those in chambers of power, the so-called dean and admin class, all those fucker in the revolving door would have anticipated ALL of this and moved to dump Biden and Harris a year or two ago. Instead:

Capitalism, man, growth and cancers and a strongman (Rapist Trump in Chief is a Wimp, but, then, Wimps Rule):

But in recent months, there has been a concerning trend: The churn that’s needed for a healthy labor market has slowed significantly. Businesses aren’t hiring as much, folks aren’t eager to quit, and those without jobs are staying on the sidelines for longer.

“That leaves us in a situation where things can essentially flip quite quickly, because you’ve already got companies hiring as if they’re in a recession — even if they’re not laying people off,” Oliver Allen, senior US economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, told CNN this week.

And the potential for a significant change has dramatically increased as President Donald Trump has started implementing sweeping policy changes related to tradeimmigrationfederal employment reductions, as well as a crackdown on diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, Michelle Holder, associate professor of economics at John Jay College at the City University of New York.

This is the fucking hellishness of this fucking carnival cunt nation: Trump is such a human stain, that these carnival folk have a million times more integrity. John Merrick? Better looking than Rapist Trump?

Actual photos of the Elephant Man

For Johnny Eck it was a crime committed against him and his elderly brother late in life that made him bitter and disillusioned with humanity. Johnny Eck was born twenty minutes in 1911 after his perfectly formed twin brother Robert, to his horrified parents and midwife who declared him a broken doll. Born a half boy, with small withered and useless legs, he was born John Eckhart, Jr. Johnny taught himself to walk on his hands at the age when most children learn to walk on their feet. Both twins were bright boys who excelled in school, and John aspired to be a preacher, but his deformity had destined him otherwise. The twins visited a local side show where a performing magician persuaded Johnny to join the side show. By 13 his career was shaping up as the “King of the Freaks.”

Johnny loved show business. He did acrobatics with his extraordinarily strong arms, trained animals, juggled, and played the front end of the magician’s “sawed in half” illusion. When not performing as a circus freak, he and Robert conducted their own Baltimore-based orchestra. Johnny also drew and painted, and drove a custom-built race car, the “Johnny Eck Special”. Johnny also starred in the 1932 cult classic FreaksWith other famous freaks Shlitze and the Hilton sisters.

In 1987, Johnny and Robert were viciously attacked and beaten during a robbery in their home. Old and feeble the once strong, Johnny was unable to defend himself and his brother against the attackers.

He was quoted as saying, “If I want to see freaks, I can just look out the window.”

He died of a heart attack in 1991 after living for years in seclusion. His brother Robert died in 1995.

Freaks indeed: The upper-class are flashing their funds in more creative ways that in some cases, have nothing to do with overt spending. Privacy, leisure activities, novel items, and expressing oneself have become new touchpoints of prosperity. It’s not about having the money to afford an item, it’s about having the means to ditch hustle culture and getting ahead.

After the rise of affordable knock-offs, the ultra-rich then moved the goalpost to a new standard of wealth: health and aesthetic beauty. Whether that be investing in $40 Pilates classes, at-home IV drips, lip filler, organic produce, or weight-loss drugs, celebrities and the 1% touted all the ways they were reversing the biological clock. Being slim signaled that one had more “self control,” or had access to healthy foods and boutique workout memberships. Looking youthful was another signifier—but then the middle-class got a hold of face-lifts and Wegovy. Increased demand, competition, and expanded insurance coverage have driven prices down; the net price of Ozempic in the U.S. declined 40% between 2024 and 2017, when it was first introduced to the American market.

The current classes of drugs included in antiretroviral therapies include:

  • Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). HIV requires an enzyme called reverse transcriptase (RT) in order to replicate. By offering faulty versions of RT to the virus, NRTIs block HIV’s ability to replicate.
  • Non-nucleoside reverse transcription inhibitors (NNRTIs). These inhibitors disable a key protein that HIV requires to replicate.
  • Protease inhibitors (PIs). This inhibitor disables the protein called protease, another key building block required by HIV to replicate.
  • Entry or fusion inhibitors. These inhibitors block the virus’s ability to enter the body’s CD4 cells.
  • Integrase inhibitors (INSTIs). Once HIV has penetrated a CD4 cell, it inserts genetic material into the cells with the assistance of a protein called integrase. These inhibitors block the virus’s ability to complete this crucial replication step.

When she saw the news on TikTok and CNN that the United States would halt funding HIV medication, Gwendolyn Dube, a 36-year-old single mother in South Africa who was diagnosed with AIDS as a child, thought to herself, “People are going to die.”

In his first week back in office, President Donald Trump’s administration announced it would exit the World Health Organization and implemented, via an executive order on “Reevaluating and Realigning United States Foreign Aid,” a 90-day pause on the disbursement of all foreign aid.

On January 29, Palestinian organizers in New York City gathered at a park for a vigil to mourn the one-year anniversary of the death of Hind Rajab, a 6-year-old killed last year alongside her family and paramedics by the Israeli military in Gaza. At Zuccotti Park in lower Manhattan, attendees laid candles, alongside photos and art of Rajab.

That same day, President Donald Trump signed an executive order titled “Additional Measures to Combat Anti-Semitism” that “demands the removal of resident aliens who violate our laws” and calls on the Department of Justice to “protect law and order, quell pro-Hamas vandalism and intimidation, and investigate and punish anti-Jewish racism in leftist, anti-American colleges and universities.” It comes on the heels of an earlier anti-immigration order signed during Trump’s first day in office that called for increased vetting and crackdowns on visa holders and people trying to enter the U.S. based on their political and cultural views.

Land of the fucking BLeeding UnFree:

It’s not just the UK that wants to backdoor encryption and end privacy. US lawmakers are looking for the same thing.

They tell you it’s about protecting children. About stopping drug dealers. About making the internet “safer.” But dig a little deeper, and you’ll find the same disturbing pattern — crises being exploited to push censorship, surveillance, and control.

Politicians who can barely use email are once again making decisions that will shape the future of online privacy, free speech, and encryption.

And Big Tech? Far from the victim, they’re quietly cheering it on — because when the government tightens its grip, it’s the tech giants who hold the keys.

Zuckerberg on The Joe Rogan Experience, where he acknowledged that the Biden administration exerted intense pressure on Facebook to suppress content about vaccine side effects. According to Zuckerberg, the government “pushed [Facebook] super hard to take down things that were honestly true” and even resorted to “yelling, cursing, and threatening repercussions” if the platform did not comply.

But these fuckers, man, these fuckers on both sides of the godd-damned manure aisle, all of them, the capitalists, the PMC’s, the wannabe rich and famous, and the rich and infamous, may they all die die die.

It is the end of thinking:

As if the fucking Stupor Bowl MEANS a goddamn fucking thing.

Racism has ended! Have you heard? Or maybe ending racism has ended. On Tuesday, it was reported that the N.F.L. would switch one of the slogans stencilled on the edge of the end zone during Super Bowl LIX from “END RACISM” to “CHOOSE LOVE.”

Try him out:

Today, Sunday, settlers attacked a number of citizens in Khirbet Al-Marajem, which is part of Duma lands, south of Nablus.

According to local sources, a group of settlers attacked citizens in Khirbet al-Marajim, assaulted them, caused havoc and destruction in sheep pens, and cut down and destroyed olive trees in the same area.

Families are finding their homes in ruins or severely damaged, uncertain whether this pause in violence will last long enough for them to rebuild. Though the ceasefire relieved some immediate suffering, many Palestinians in Gaza remain skeptical, aware that previous truces have crumbled under Israeli military escalation or political jockeying by leaders who are interested in removing Palestinians from Gaza altogether.

February 25, 2024

Meanwhile, Benjamin Netanyahu spent his visit to Washington D.C. touting the “unbreakable bond” between Israel and the United States, courting the Trump administration’s hawkish support for continuing settlements and stifling Palestinian aspirations. Netanyahu, embattled at home by right-wing factions demanding a return to all-out war on Gaza, appeared emboldened by his reception in the U.S. By all indications, the human cost of Israel’s policies—now gaining more visibility—does not trouble him or his allies in Washington.

[Goy and his master.]

They will appear in a Superbowl ad denouncing “hatred.” The ad is paid for by the “Foundation to Combat Antisemitism,” staffed by Israel lobbyists that attempts to equate opposition to Israel’s destruction of Gaza with anti-Jewish racism. It was founded by billionaire Patriots owner and Israel advocate Robert Kraft.

[Niggerized fucking shit.]

Football star Tom Brady and rap legend Snoop Dogg will appear in a big-money Superbowl ad denouncing hatred. The ad is paid for by the Foundation to Combat Antisemitism, a group staffed by Israel lobbyists that attempts to equate opposition to Israel’s destruction of Gaza with anti-Jewish racism. The group was founded by billionaire owner of the New England Patriots, Robert Kraft, who is one of the pro-Israel Lobby’s most generous benefactors. Kraft has used his power to attempt to crush the nationwide Palestine solidarity movement on campus and the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.

Excerpts from the transcript:

Laurent Guyenot: I’m not fighting against Christianity and I’m definitely not fighting against Jesus. I feel Jesus is an incredibly inspiring heroic figure. “Jesus is a Palestinian.” We need Jesus. I’m not trying to deny the importance of Jesus as a central figure in our civilization.

But my priority now became to understand Israel. And I became convinced that you cannot understand modern Israel if you don’t understand that modern Israel is the same as ancient Israel. And that’s a big disagreement with Christians (who say) “modern Israel has nothing to do with the people of ancient Israel, who were holy people. Yes, they wanted to genocide the Amalekites, but that’s because the Amalekites were really, really, really bad.”

I’m fed up with these kinds of things. I feel Netanyahu wants to genocide the Amalekites exactly as Moses wanted to genocide the Amalekites. And I feel it’s really way too late now to start to defend ancient Israel. Ancient Israel is just as demonic as modern Israel. And if you don’t come to the point of realizing this, you just cannot understand what Israel is. You think “it’s because they’re Zionists, they’re not real Jews in any way, they’re Ashkenazi Jews.” And you find all kinds of excuses to protect the essence of Israel.

The essence of Israel is in the Bible, is in the Torah. I don’t especially want to burn the Torah, but I want to put it in a museum or in a library together with Homer and this kind of thing. It’s an interesting book, but I definitely don’t want anything to do with it as the story of God choosing the Jews. I don’t believe God chose the Jews. If I talk to Christians, I want to help them to find a way to get out of this dilemma.

And one way, I suggest to them is (to ask): Did Jesus really claim to be the Messiah? Because it doesn’t really matter. You say, well, there’s the true Messiah or the military Messiah. In any case, if Jesus said, yes, I am the Messiah, that means he stands within the paradigm of the chosen people. Because if God sends the Messiah, that means He needs the holy people and so on. From the historical perspective, that of historians of Jesus, it’s debatable. because there is this, notion of the messianic secret. Sometimes Jesus sounded like he said, yes, I’m the Messiah, but don’t say it, don’t tell it to anyone—which of course, from the historian’s point of view, means that he didn’t say “I’m the Messiah.” It’s the disciples who said he was the Messiah after he died. It’s very simple ogic that leads us to conclude that, in fact, Jesus rejected the title of Messiah.

So we can say we can basically become Marcionist. That’s why I offer to the Christian the only way you can get out and start to save Christianity. Because if you continue to worship ancient Israel, you are worshipping the Devil. If you think Yahweh is God, you are confusing God with the Devil. So the only way you can get out of this catastrophic situation is to understand that Jesus is not the Messiah. Jesus is a guy who is like Socrates, a guy who is completely 100% loyal to the truth, to what he saw as true, to the point of sacrificing his life.

In a few days, we will have the anniversary of the self-immolation of Aaron Bushnell. I was thinking about this today. I felt I have to write something.

Jesus was like that. He could not stand to see this evil society. He spoke out or — he’s not like Aaron Bushnell, but the impulse to be totally, 100%, in harmony with what you believe, you know, and going all the way: That’s what Jesus was. So he was destroyed. He is precisely the saint, the patron saint, of people like you and me. Or at least we should try to imitate him in the sense of fighting against Israel to the point of being ready to pay the price.

Jesus, by the way, was crucified not by the Jews, but by the empire. They use the empire to destroy their enemy.

So I get carried away. But what I wanted to say fundamentally is that I feel it’s wrong to defend ancient Israel. It’s wrong to excuse Moses for having to kill the Amalekites. Now, everybody can see what is Israel. So you have no excuse any more. And we hear Netanyahu say “the Gaza people are Amalek.” We have no more excuses for the Torah. We have to go to the root of the problem. The root of the problem is the Torah.

“My name is Aaron Bushnell. I am an active-duty member of the United States Air Force. And I will no longer be complicit in genocide. I’m about to engage in an extreme act of protest, but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it’s not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.”

My man, my man.

“He took all the steps he needed to make sure that everything he had would be cared for, like his cat, he designated that to his neighbor,” Lupe Barboza of the Care Collective, told Texas Public Radio after he viewed the will.

“So yeah, that to me is all the sense of someone who was measured and knew what he was doing.”

Bushnell reportedly notified several reporters and news websites about his upcoming protest.

Mainstream media pathologized Bushnell’s act of protest and attempted to obscure his motivations despite the clarity of his message.

The Washington Post labeled Bushnell’s self-immolation as an “Israel-Hamas war protest,” despite his explicit intention to protest the genocide of Palestinians perpetrated by their colonizers.

Several reports, including from the BBCThe New York Times and The Washington Post, reported no injuries at the embassy. However, Bushnell neither attempted to attack embassy members nor did he endeavor to enter the embassy.

A protester self-immolated outside the Israeli consulate in Atlanta, Georgia, in December and was transferred to the hospital in critical condition. While a Palestinian flag was found at the scene, authorities have kept the incident hushed and did not release many details. The person remains unidentified.

In November 2006, American musician and human rights activist Malachi Ritscher self-immolated in Chicago to protest the US invasion and occupation of Iraq.

“To the rest of the world we are cowards – demanding Iraq to disarm, and after they comply, we attack with remote-control high-tech video-game weapons. And then lie about our reasons for invading. We the people bear complete responsibility for all that will follow, and it won’t be pretty,” he wrote in a statement explicitly stating his motives.
