Where oh where are the critical thinkers around this fellow’s hatred of Putin, Russians, et al?
The culmination of Noam Chomsky’s arrogance and condescension came in 2003, on a C-SPAN interview:
The collapse of the Soviet Union is a small victory for socialism in my opinion.
At odds with reality, Chomsky almost 20 yeaers ago, dovetails to his lack of reality around Nazi Ukraine and a Special Military Operation to de-Nato-fy, de-militarize, de-Nazify Ukraine. Imagine the tragedy witnessed in former Soviet states and the suffering inflicted since by triumphalist neoliberalism:
Then, after 1990, a bad health situation got worse. As the society collapsed so did life expectancy. In the 10 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, there were somewhere between 3 million and 7 million excess deaths. (The Lancet)
The Global Research and Dissident Voice piece, “Is Noam Chomsky a Qualified Military Analyst?” by Kim Petersen attempts to understand Chomsky’s recent comments about how Russia is a Paper Tiger, how President Putin is Dumb and Dumber, and he even calls for bleeding Russia more and more by, well, you know, supporting the Army Merchants, the Offensive Weapons Oligarchs, the Weapons of Death Boys and Girls.
See his most recent photo, since the one used in the Global Research is decades old. I was informed of this piece by a friend, who stated:
Chomsky sets his inner Zionist free.
Of course, I had to state: “Sets his inner Zionist free? He is arrogant, overcited, and what a piece of shivering woke man, under lockdown, in Tucson of all places, where he stated on and on to Amy “Soros” Goodman’s show, Democracy Now, how he was locking himself down. In hot Tucson? Yammering, yammering and yammering. A hundred books? The more the messier. So many of his books are repetitions of collections of his essays of Op-Eds.
And so why does Global Research use a forty year old photo of the guy? Look at him, under lockdown. He went nowhere in Tucson for almost two years. Held himself hostage because of the planned demic:
Here he is, quoted, with just more of the same old, but not really, because Russia is now having to be bled bled bled: “Virtually everything that Israel is doing, meaning the United States and Israel are doing, is illegal, in fact, a war crime. And many of them they defined as ‘grave breaches,’ that is, serious war crimes. This means that the United States and Israeli leadership should be brought to trial.”
However, if you dig deep you’ll find some folk labeling him as a CIA asset, as many have uncovered. However, here he is in 1995.
A look at Chomsky’s support for the appointment of John Deutch as head of the CIA in 1995.
In December 1995, The New York Times reported that Noam Chomsky approved of the appointment of his fellow MIT academic, John Deutch, as head of the CIA. (Until then Deutch had been No.2 at the Pentagon.) According to the report, Chomsky said,
‘[Deutch] has more honesty and integrity than anyone I’ve ever met in academic life, or any other life. If somebody’s got to be running the CIA, I’m glad it’s him.’
This not so surprisingly favorable attitude to Deutch was confirmed in an interview that appeared in the book Class Warfare in 1996. When asked about Deutch, Chomsky said:
‘We were actually friends and got along fine, although we disagreed on about as many things as two human beings can disagree about. I liked him. We got along very well together. He’s very honest, very direct. You know where you stand with him. We talked to each other. When we had disagreements, they were open, sharp, clear, honestly dealt with. I found it fine. I had no problem with him. I was one of the very few people on the faculty, I’m told, who was supporting his candidacy for the President of MIT.’ (source)
Not the first time Noam has approved of US and CIA. But, this is MIT, where his reputation was supposdly anti-militaristy. But when it comes to John Deutch, well, is this Noam’s lesser evilism for a guy with a long-standing role as a Pentagon adviser.
Deutch headed two Pentagon panels on Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles. Along with Alexander Haig, Henry Kissinger and Donald Rumsfeld, he was also an influential advisor on President Reagan’s Scowcroft commission, which recommended the deployment of the MX missile in 1983.[3] Then, when the Cold War came to an end, he became very concerned that the US military was turning away from nuclear weaponry by, for instance, removing tactical nuclear weapons from ships and submarines.
MIT’s student activists called him the ‘War Provost’. One said Deutch’s activities had ‘really changed the atmosphere at MIT’ and complained that Deutch’s involvement made the university ‘more militaristic’. These activists evidently feared that if Deutch did become MIT President, as apparently Chomsky wanted, then the university would become even more deeply involved in military research of the most barbaric kind. (source)
Articles from MIT’s official newspaper, The Tech:
‘Examining John Deutch’s Pentagon connections’, The Tech, 27 May 1988 (Vol.108 Issue 26) – Here it is reported that Deutch had encouraged MIT to apply for ‘army contracts for mycotoxin research’. Deutch’s enthusiasm for biological warfare research led another MIT Professor, Vera Kistiakowsky, to complain that ‘he has no business being in the education business.’
‘Twenty years later, MIT still doing military research projects’, The Tech, 24 February 1989, (Vol.109 Issue 6) – In which Daniel Glenn says that ‘MIT is currently engaged in several hundred research projects for the Department of Defense. The following are examples of unclassified on-campus research: … “hardening of integrated circuits to withstand nuclear attack’’… “target identification using infrared radar” … “optical signal processing for’ missile guidance” … “arctic military facilities”… “application of composite materials for Army helicopter blades’’ … ‘’SDI space-based radar”.’
‘Teach-in focuses on research and activism’, The Tech, 7 March 1989 (Vol.109 Issue 9 p2, 16) – In this article, one MIT nuclear engineering student says that Deutch had helped ‘MIT secure $2.3 million dollars in defense department funding for chemical and biological weapons research.’
A fuel-air bomb.
Articles from MIT’s activist paper, The Thistle:
‘Who is John Deutch’, The Thistle, (Vol.9 Issue7) – In this article, a reference is made to Deutch’s innovative work on ‘fuel-air bombs, one of the most devastating non-nuclear weapons in existence’. The article also points out that as well as being a ‘a long-term advocate of US nuclear weapons build-up, [Deutch] is also a strong supporter of biological weapons, and of using chemical and biological weapons together in order to increase their killing efficiency.’
‘An open letter to [MIT] President Vest’, The Thistle, (Vol.9 Issue7) – In this article, MIT’s Alternative News Collective writes that ‘Deutch not only supported research into chemical/biological weapons, … he pressured junior faculty into performing this research on campus.’ On the issue of the CIA, the Collective said, ‘How should MIT treat an Institute Professor who has just been chosen to lead a terrorist group? It is time that MIT fired John Deutch.’
‘Institute Professor John Deutch heads CIA: What next?’, The Thistle, (Vol.9 Issue7) – This article asks, ‘What is the nature of MIT? Is it a “neutral” educational institution, or is it just another piece of the Pentagon-CIA-Weapons Manufacturers establishment, that has had – and continues to have – a negative impact on most of the world?’
An MX missile.
Extract from a letter to Chris Knight by Daniel Glenn, a former MIT student activist and author of some of the above articles:
I was not aware of Chomsky’s support of John Deutch and do find it surprising.
As part of my activism at MIT, I was part of a protest at my 1989 graduation ceremony in which we protested the hypocrisy of the administration and faculty for wearing black arm bands in support of the student movement at Tiananmen Square. The administration had banned the distribution of the student newspapers for the first time in MIT’s history, because we were publishing information about the interlocking directorships of John Deutch and other MIT administration officials and its connection to their support of military expenditures.
We smuggled copies of The Thistle into the graduation ceremony under our robes that detailed those connections. And four students, including myself, unfurled banners on the stage and shook John Deutch’s hand with a banner in the other that read: ‘MIT War Research Kills’. The banners were in the style of the Tiananmen Square student banners. … We did feel vindicated in our concerns about the direct line from MIT’s research funding and faculty connection’s to the military when John Deutch was appointed as Deputy Secretary of Defense and then CIA Director.
… I did take Noam Chomsky’s course on activism and society, and we did engage with him on a number of occasions about our political efforts with the university, and his presence at the university is one of the reasons I was willing to go to MIT. I thought that if he could be there, then I could learn from that institution in spite of its deeply troubling connections to the technology of warfare. I was surprised to learn that he was limited by the politics of academia to teaching within his primary subject area of linguistics, in spite of being such an esteemed intellectual in political science. The course we took from him was not an official course in the university.
I am a great admirer of Noam Chomsky, and would not want to disparage him in any way. I do find this particular issue interesting and somewhat troubling, but I do imagine that he had to make compromises of many kinds over his decades as a resident radical in an institution so entrenched in the military-industrial complex; and he its most profound and substantive critic.
. For more on anti-militarist activism at MIT and Chomsky’s lack of support for this activism see:
Oh, the endless stream of Noam Chomsky boosters, and is he a hypcrite?
There’s a famous definition in the Gospels of the hypocrite, and the hypocrite is the person who refuses to apply to himself the standards he applies to others. By that standard, the entire commentary and discussion of the so-called War on Terror is pure hypocrisy, virtually without exception. Can anybody understand that? No, they can’t understand it.
Noam Chomsky recently took to the pages of The Intercept to give his blessing to the US military’s occupation of Syria, solidifying his support for the Pentagon after years of having done so in slightly more anguished terms. As far as the occupation, the only concession to what might once have been considered “Leftist” values is the MIT professor’s acknowledgement that the US is motivated by “power considerations” rather than “humanitarian objectives.” Today, the brief nod to realpolitik is what’s supposed to pass for a progressive anti-war stance.
The Intercept is really a natural fit for Chomsky to deliver this message. The nonagenarian professor has limited years left on earth, and when he passes, Glenn Greenwald and Pierre Omidyar’s website will probably become the new face of the permissible Left. That Chomsky lends his radical imprimatur to a US military occupation in its pages is a testament to what kind of a “Left” Chomsky has helped to create and is bequeathing to Greenwald and Omidyar.
Chomsky begins his career with US military funding in the mid-1950s:
I would like to express my gratitude to the Society of Fellows for having provided me with the freedom to carry on this research.
This work was supported in part by the U.S.A. Army (Signal Corps), the Air Force (Office of Scientific Research, Air Research and Development Command), and the Navy (Office of Naval Research); and in part by the National Science Foundation and the Eastman Kodak Corporation.
His free speech absolutionism gets us his defense of murderous US officials:
Nothing should be done to impede people from teaching and doing their research even if at that very moment it was being used to massacre and destroy. … [A]s a spokesman for the Rosa Luxemburg collective, I went to see the President of MIT in 1969 to inform him that we intended to protest publicly if there turned out to be any truth to the rumours then circulating that Walt Rostow (who we regarded as a war criminal) being denied a position at MIT on political grounds. (source: “On Chomsky”)
And so it goes, Tarzie’s 2015 appraisal will appear definitive:
The high perch from which Chomsky tells us how free we are was likely only vacant because state agents murdered all consequential Black leaders and squashed every other left-wing movement. In the ensuing years, white guys writing books supplanted visionaries with megaphones while the prison population grew. (source)
July 7, 2020 letter will be appearing in the Letters section of the magazine’s October issue. We welcome responses at letters@harpers.org
Chomsky lent his name to what was roundly jeered as a right-wing hit-job. And there it remains, in the illustrious company of Bari Weiss, Yascha Mounk, David Brooks, Anne Applebaum, J.K. Rowling, Francis Fukuyama, Steven Pinker, David Frum, Malcolm Gladwell, Matt Yglesias, and Fareed Zakaria!
However, read this letter whih “reads as a caustic reaction to a diversifying industry — one that’s starting to challenge institutional norms that have protected bigotry.”
Here, read a response to this absurd letter, for which Chomsky is a signatory:
It is impossible to see how these signatories are contributing to “the most vital causes of our time” during this moment of widespread reckoning with oppressive social systems. Their letter seeks to uphold a “stifling atmosphere” and prioritizes signal-blasting their discomfort in the face of valid criticism. The intellectual freedom of cis white intellectuals has never been under threat en masse, especially when compared to how writers from marginalized groups have been treated for generations. In fact, they have never faced serious consequences — only momentary discomfort.
America… just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable.

Imagine, just how programmed are we, and this is it for an excuse?
So, the electricity will be shaky here, there, and everywhere. The excuse is of course, supply chain. Port clogs. Container ships chaos. They will not admit to the real reason for economic and spiritual collapse: CAPITALISM and PRICE gouging. Oh, Putin did it all!!
Mass shootings, Roe v. Wade down the drain, empty shelves at hardware and food stores. It’s all Putin’s fault, inlcuding the price thieving for these electrical transformers, right? The $6 a gallon for gas in USA and $10 a gallon in Denmark, Putin’s fault. Mindless media midgets, and here we are: Western culture trapped in their own lies, their own self-fulfilling nightmares. Or continuous requiems for our dreams!
The lies and the shallow inquiries and the lack of curiosity, right up there with “everyone in USA is a used car salesman.”
Journalism has always been dead in the mainstream:
The TV business is uglier than most things. It is normally perceived as some kind of cruel and shallow money trench through the heart of the journalism industry, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs, for no good reason.
Which is more or less true. For the most part, they are dirty little animals with huge brains and no pulse.
–Hunter S. Thompson, Generation of Swine
But back to other lies, and other lackeys lacking an inquiring mind. Local news from the local rag I publish my columns in. Referencing the local Public Utilities District here in Lincoln County:
Like utilities nationwide, Central Lincoln is being greatly challenged by supply chain delays, material shortages and massive cost increases for materials delivered. Demand for electrical supplies is robust, while transportation bottlenecks and raw material constraints are causing us significant concern over our ability to meet construction timelines. As we address these issues, Central Lincoln will strive to maintain supply levels to meet customer needs, while still maintaining emergency inventories.
We’ve all seen supply chain issues impact many aspects of life today. In some cases, lead times for Central Lincoln have increased six fold in the last two years when we’ve placed orders for materials. For example, new residential transformers typically took four months for delivery prior to the pandemic, and now they take between one year to 20 months to arrive. Costs for materials are also soaring — transformers that were $2,500 two years ago are now $15,000 each, and the cost is continuing to increase. This is not an exaggeration. (source)
Read that again: $2,500 for necessary transformers two years ago now SIX times more, at $15,000?
This is what defines USA, Biden, Trump, McConnell, Pelosi, Carson or Maddow, the entire shit show that is the American stupidity show. And how unprepared are we? This is the colonized mind, and this is the state of the American culture, as well as UK’s and Canada’s and EU’s. If all of this were true, and if we were guided (sic) by sane and humane folks, there’d be massive movements and masterful national plans to nationalize industries and rejigger the entire mess of capitalism for a world, a nation, that works for the people.
Now, shifting over to Scott Ritter, military lover, but still, smart. He’s not on mainstream TV, in mainstream news. Again, the plastic hair and the Botox lips and the grappling girdles on these airhead TV presenters match their plastic brains. Here (below), he talks about how stupid Americans are (about world issues), and that includes what Yanquis do not know or want to know about the Nazi Ukrainians and this special military operation that Russia FINALLY had to unleash on that disgusting Ukraine and that perverted Zelensky and his crew.
But before Scott, a little black robe insanity. Here we are now, with that un-Supreme Court, doing their shit show decision to get into the uterus of the female persuasion. Eichmanns, one and all.
Imagine that? Supreme (not) Court now determining the legality of obesity, the calories, the sorts of foods, the environmental effects on the male perusasion. Will the male be held criminally libel for what they ingest and what they do to their bodies, their sperm, the RNA?
Let’s be consistent here, pereverts?
There is substantial evidence that paternal obesity is associated not only with an increased incidence of infertility, but also with an increased risk of metabolic disturbance in adult offspring. Apparently, several mechanisms may contribute to the sperm quality alterations associated with paternal obesity, such as physiological/hormonal alterations, oxidative stress, and epigenetic alterations. Along these lines, modifications of hormonal profiles namely reduced androgen levels and elevated estrogen levels, were found associated with lower sperm concentration and seminal volume. Additionally, oxidative stress in testis may induce an increase of the percentage of sperm with DNA fragmentation. The latter, relate to other peculiarities such as alteration of the embryonic development, increased risk of miscarriage, and development of chronic morbidity in the offspring, including childhood cancers.

This all connects, really, these issues of local electrical power outages, and war. War against Russia, and, well, local costs soaring: War against the people. Supply chain excuses. Oh, where oh where are those Republican pukes and Democratic pukes serving us, the people. Electrical outages? Check that one for massive deaths and injuries in simple households and the elected ones have no answers, no empathy, no action? Capitalism.

He talks about how most Jews, not just Zionists and those in Occupied Palestine, seemingly hate Russians. It’s racism, of course, to hate an entire people: Russians. And, will this YouTube be taken down? For the opinion of seeminly most Jews hating Russians, or, for, another reason?
So, on Scheer Post, we get all sorts of mixed bag aggregated articles on Russia and Ukraine. Many are like this: “China Will Decide the Outcome of Russia v. the West: Is Putin the Face of the Future or the Final Gasp of the Past?”
John Feffer wrote it, and he is bought and sold — co-director of Foreign Policy in Focus at the Institute for Policy Studies. He is a fellow at the Open Society Foundations and a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. DSA is all for billions in weapons to Ukraine, and billions for the Ukraine government (mafia) to run the show. The original article came from Tom Dispatch. Feffer is self-described Jewish gay.
Look up George Soros and his Open Society Foundation. Look up DSA’s stance on pouring weapons and death into Ukraine. This is how these pencil necks see their world:
In its attempt to swallow Ukraine whole, Russia has so far managed to bite off only the eastern Donbas region and a portion of its southern coast. The rest of the country remains independent, with its capital Kyiv intact.
No one knows how this meal will end. Ukraine is eager to force Russia to disgorge what it’s already devoured, while the still-peckish invader clearly has no interest in leaving the table.
Here some comments at Scheer Post, pushing back on Feffer, and I won ‘t republish mine:
Robert Sinuhe:
This is what happens when you are seriously ignorant of facts. He seems to know what Mr. Putin is thinking which should prompt Mr. Putin to ask this fellow what he’s thinking. Complete nonsense!
Roger Hoffmann:
What a disappointing read from Scheerpost. As others have already noted the repeated falsehoods (Russiagate) and baseless claims (Russia wants to swallow Ukraine) and others, I won’t waste the time addressing them either.
I will only say that it is apparent that this writer, in stating a narrative that overlaps much with that of Washington and its mouthpieces, seems oblivious to (or else, dishonestly chooses to ignore) much of the actual history of this conflict- the context in which it emerged, the pleas and warnings not only by Russia but of many seasoned U.S. officers from military, Intel and Diplomatic corps alike, and that of Russia-expert western scholars; and the actions of the U.S. since 2014 at least.
My advice to the writer: please don’t write about things that you know so little about, especially if you want to persuade those who’ve taken the time to become informed.
Terrence Bennett:
Tom Dispatch is a now sadly Pro Nazi source for regressives. I urge Robert Scheer to monitor and reject many former progressives who now appear on organs like the late great Tom Dispatch
So, taking it in the rear? The back alley abortions. The behind the box store automobile trunk deals for prescription drugs and diapers. The people have a choice in what money goes here and there, don’t they? No massive strike, rolling strikes, rebellion?

Gerardo Vidal, who has lived in the same apartment in Queens, New York, with his family for 9 years, recently received a $900-a-month rent increase this year.
“It means having to uproot my entire family, given the fact we’re still having a difficult time earning money due to the pandemic and loss of jobs,” said Vidal. “It’s unfair that we are being basically forced out of places we lived in for nine years and that landlords can get away with this.” (source)
We’ll finish with Richard Wolff, on Capitalism and US Empire now that USA-Klanada-EU-UK are dumping their weapons on the world, and after Wolff, then a Brit who has been in Donbass reporting on the ground:

“National Security State Censoring of Anti-Imperialist Voices… the Latest Phase of its Long-Term Strategy to Divide and Control the Left” on Dissident Voice, by Stansfield Smith
In 1977 Carl Bernstein revealed CIA interconnections with the big business media. More than 400 journalists collaborated with the CIA, with the consent of their media bosses. Working in a propaganda alliance with the CIA included: CBS, ABC, NBC, Time, Newsweek, New York Times, Associated Press, Reuters, United Press International, Miami Herald, Saturday Evening Post and New York Herald Tribune. The New York Times still sends stories to US government for pre-publication approval, while CNN and others now employ national security state figures as “analysts.”
Reuters, BBC, and Bellingcat operate similarly, participating in covert British government funded disinformation programs to “weaken” Russia. This involves collaboration with the Counter Disinformation & Media Development section of the British Foreign Office.
The CIA pays journalists in Germany, France, Britain, Australia and New Zealand to plant fake news. Udo Ulfkotte, a former editor at Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, one of the largest German newspapers, showed how the CIA controls German media in Presstitutes: Embedded in the Pay of the CIA. Ulfkotte said the CIA had him plant fake stories in his paper, such as Libyan President Gaddafi building poison gas factories in 2011.
The CIA was closely involved with the long defunct National Students Association and with the trade union leadership. The AFL-CIO’s American Institute of Free Labor Development, received funding from USAID, the State Department, and NED to undermine militant union movements overseas and help foment murderous coups, as against President Allende of Chile (1973) and Brazil (1964), as well as defended the rule of their masters at home. This continues with the AFL-CIO Solidarity Center, which receives $30 million a year from NED.
The CIA created publishing houses, such as Praeger Press, and used other companies such as John Wiley Publishing Company, Scribner’s, Ballantine Books, and Putnam to publish its books. It set up several political and literary journals such as Partisan Review. This CIA publishing amounted to over one thousand books, mostly geared to a liberal-left audience, seeking to bolster a third camp left, and undermine solidarity with the once powerful world communist movement.
Ahh, those transformers:
No national movement to, well, nationalize the construction and deployment and installation of these valuable electrical units? Summer, heat, fridges, AC, fans, oxygen machines, well, you get how valuable electricity is and how dangerous disruption of it kill.
No Marshall Plan for that? For clinics in all neighborhoods? Social workers and counselors for millions of students? Aging in place adults in the tens of millions, who helps them? All those with Complex PTSD?

Foot note: So, I went up to pick up some vital medications at the Walgreens in Newport. Lo and behold, that electrical outage a few days ago friend the Walgreens’ computer — here, in Newport, and then, in Lincoln City. So, people lined up, freaked out since some of their meds are, well, life saving. That’s it for America, and it will only get worse as I wait in a line of 20 at the small USPS office in Waldport, where signs say, “Don’t leave junk mail here since we do not have a janitor . . . We are short staffed so we have to cut Saturday pick up window services . . . Please be patient as we are understaffed.”
USPS, and Trump and Biden. Whew! Ben Franklin is turning in his grave. The light is out on his kite. Remember, USPS is a public service, and it is one foot in the grave:
What this report finds: The United States Postal Service is a beloved American institution that provides an essential public service to communities and good middle class jobs for workers. It is a model of efficiency and responsive to changing customer needs. But the conflicting demands made upon it by Congress and regulators put it in a precarious financial position even before the pandemic. Anti-government ideologues and special interests have long sought to privatize, shrink, or hobble the Postal Service. The Trump administration revived these efforts, spurred by the president’s opposition to mail voting and his animus toward Amazon, a major customer.
What needs to be done: The Biden administration and Congress must act to undo the damage and allow the Postal Service to adapt to meet unmet needs, including the revival of postal banking. (source)

I see more and more young people, and older ones, relying on up-to-the-minute news and up-to-the-minute authors to set the stage of their own personal collapse.
Analysis paralysis, climate change fatigue, and, alas, the insanity of echo chambers and the constrant high pitched whine of the mainstream news, the mainstream thinkers and all the handlers of us, including the gatekeepers, those are today’s diseases, much more than mental malaise.
This is the groundhog day show, when people today think they are in the know because of some piece of ProPublica investigative news or news feature, because of another hundredth documentary consumed in a year, and all the noise coming from these script readers and yellers and scammers we call the mainstream media.

And so many wagons are circling, so many lobbies running the America citizen into the ground. So much is broken and wrong about the way the USA operates, that we are at the point of living in a world of thirty five adult, full-grown clowns coming out of the VW Bug or compact car.
I have these conversations daily about how much the average person has abandoned sanity or any faith or confidence in systems meant for The People, meant as entitlements for WE The People. That the pigs of commerce are gouging Americans on every leve, that the housing crisis is more crises, that all those bombs and bullets and balistics are shipping to the Zionist Zelensky, that all of that is happening, but, oh, my, what to do about it?
We have insane people in positions of power, positions of middling influence, and then, of course, policy makers are in the pockets of the millionaires and billionaires, and then, we are at a point where, say, the community where I reside, Waldport and Newport, the dam holding our water source is crumbling and any action on it has to wait until the lottery numbers come in. Casino capitalism. Money for infrastructure gained through gaming the system, through gambling addiction.
Newport City Council approved $600,000 from federal relief funds for design tasks to replace the Big Creek dams, keeping the project moving while the city awaits state lottery bond funds and hopes for a much larger contribution from the federal government.
Last year, the Oregon Legislature approved a budget with $14 million appropriated for design and replacement of the earthen Big Creek dams, which are vulnerable to failure from relatively minor seismic event and showing signs of internal seepage. Those funds would bring the city through the design process and might contribute some to initial construction. (Source)

“I have no mercy or compassion in me for a society that will crush people, and then penalize them for not being able to stand up under the weight.” — Malcolm X
So here we are: young people have no idea how the old days were the days of now, where solutions to the many problems were in the hands of communities, with farming, arts, communitarian spirit, sharing economy, mutual aid, rebuffing all those powers, all those instruments of suppression and oppresion. The good old days were never put into play to the point of mass movements to oust the purveyors of pain, from militaries, to the government, to the corporation.
The good old ways, that is, those that embodied a spirit of honor and sharing, what the the Iroquois Great Law of Peace was about: a constitution that established a democracy between five Iroquois-speaking tribes—the Seneca, Cayuga, Oneida, Onondaga, and Mohawk. This group of five nations, called the Iroquois Confederacy, was established around 1450.
Making decisions now that will affect seven generations out originated with the Iroquois – Great Law of the Iroquois – which holds appropriate to think seven generations ahead (about 525 years into the future, which is counted by multiplying the 75 years of an average human lifespan by 7) and decide whether the decisions they make today would benefit those unborn generations.
In 1744, the Onondaga leader Canassatego gave a speech urging the contentious 13 colonies to unite, as the Iroquois had at the signing of the Treaty of Lancaster. This cultural exchange inspired the English colonist Benjamin Franklin to print Canassatego’s speech.
“We heartily recommend Union and a good Agreement between you our Brethren,” Canassatego had said. “Never disagree, but preserve a strict Friendship for one another, and thereby you, as well as we, will become the stronger. Our wise Forefathers established Union and Amity between the Five Nations; this has made us formidable; this has given us great Weight and Authority with our neighboring Nations. We are a powerful Confederacy; and, by your observing the same Methods our wise Forefathers have taken, you will acquire fresh Strength and Power; therefore whatever befalls you, never fall out one with another.”
He used a metaphor that many arrows cannot be broken as easily as one. This inspired the bundle of 13 arrows held by an eagle in the Great Seal of the United States. (source)
Their constitution, recorded and kept alive on a two row wampum belt, held many concepts familiar to United States citizens today.
Iroquois Confederacy and the Great Law of Peace
United States Constitution
Restricts members from holding more than one office in the Confederacy.
Article I, Section 6, Clause 2, also known as the Ineligibility Clause or the Emoluments Clause bars members of serving members of Congress from holding offices established by the federal government, while also baring members of the executive branch or judicial branch from serving in the U.S. House or Senate.
Outlines processes to remove leaders within the Confederacy
Article II, Section 4 reads “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and the conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors.”
Designates two branches of legislature with procedures for passing laws
Article I, Section 1, or the Vesting Clauses, read “All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.” It goes on to outline their legislative powers.
Delineates who has the power to declare war
Article I, Section 8, Clause 11, also known as the War Powers Clause, gives Congress the power, “To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;”
Creates a balance of power between the Iroquois Confederacy and individual tribes
The differing duties assigned to the three branches of the U.S. Government: Legislative (Congress), Executive (President), and Judicial (Supreme Court) act to balance and separate power in government.
Oh, those old ways, no? Ignored: Native American democratic principles focus on the creation of strong kinship bonds that promote leadership in which honor is not earned by material gain but by service to others. Read again — honor not earned by material gain but service to others.
Imagine that tattoo on the foreheads of these evil politicians.
Check out my old stuff, long form interviews, over the radio. Here, on my Word Press site:
Yes, old stuff I uploaded, and, who the hell listens to old radio shows in this day and age? Who would care about my own education during these 56 minute episodes? People like authors, scientists, food experts, activists, etc.?
Check it out — Tipping Points: Voices from the Edge, Spokane, low power community radio ! Here, my preamble. Note that I am not a greenie weenie, and I have always doubted the sustainability arena, the New Urbanism crap, all of that, really, since all of what I have learned in courses and certifications and degrees is that CAPITALISM is the bulldozer and the media manipulator of any possible bottom up way to solve myriad of problems, not just tied to resource piracy, biopiray, land grabs, resource thefts, pollution-pollution-pollution, toxicity-toxicity-toxicity.
Podcast list— Paul’s radio show from the mid-2000s. Ironically, poets, thinkers, scientists, community engagement experts, and book authors talked to me with an open mind. I engaged in exchanges of ideas. I was not a stenographer, and yes, I do jump in and have my own spin or take on things. I, of course, have changed my way toward enlightenment compared to the period of 2001 – 2011 I was in Spokane, writing, creating columns, teaching, and involved in activism. I am more grounded in my socialism and my communism. Working anywhere in the USA, Amerikkka, means covering up or masking one’s true self. Capitalism is a form of totalitarianism, and fascism in its own way. I have witnessed colonization of formerly independent thinkers, then a hive mentality take over and then just Plain Jane Stockholm Syndrome seeping into the collective, at large, especially within Democratic Party supporters. Academics. Woke folk. Et al. Enjoy these people, these historic and cutting edge long-form radio conversations!
Note: Realize that the greenie weenies, the Green New Deal (not for nature and people) proponents, the end of fossil fuel folk, all those liberals in the liberal managerial class, please, realize, that I was up against them. For this radio station, this low power community radio station, I had back-stabbers and retrogrades. If you realize the value of this body of work, in a span of two years (and I did work for a living, since this was a gratis gig), then you might understand where I am now, listening to and observing the rot, smelling the putridity, and all the monetizing of some really bad show. Good ones, too, thank goodness, supported me, but I was already deeply victimized by cancel culture. Some of the worse are the compliant ones, the herd, those that call themselves green and organic. However, many of those types hated my show, hated my work, and, well, many loved the work, but those are not the pied piper types. It’s the haters who come out from their dirty sheets at night like an army of bed bugs.
Capitalism is the Monster/Ghost/Bioweapon in the Machine: Ukraine, Sudan, Yemen, China, Russia!
Before the Nazi Showcase, let’s look at just ONE example of the decay of the USA, the Empire, the Savagery of Capitalism. Take one piece of news, and, well, in my book, run with it. Utilize it to demostate just how savage Capitalism is. We all have our daily deluge of stories pointing to Capitalism’s Structural Homocide.
Just the absurdity and contradictions in this headline should blow a few tens of millions of gaskets in citizens?
“Private Equity Gloats Over A Doctor Glut”
Health care vultures helped create an oversupply of ER physicians — now they want to use the surplus to cut wages and limit care.
And, so, with 90 million baby boomers aging and sagging , and then one out of three people in USA in general with chronic illnesses, and many with co-morbities, and the self-harm being done, the fatty liver disease running rampant, the mental issues increasing, all of that, and the car accidents, and more, the USA has these evil decaying financial felons and their prostitute politicians fucking up yet more safety nets. While the citizens buy the bullshit of 1/6 Insurrection, while USA pays the supremely rip-off and Nazi Ukraine, now at $1.5 billion a month to keep their fucking evil government running, USA burns, floods, crumbles and ends up in one giant pot hole..
“ER staffing firm American Physician Partners (APP). The company, which operates ERs in 155 hospitals, has been trying — and failing — for months to raise $580 million to pay off creditors, including Rep. Mark Green (R-Tenn.), who holds somewhere between $5 million and $25 million of the company’s debt.”
Oh, that Green should be shot. These companies and their soldiers of fortune, all of them should be taken out to the firing squad wall, and, well, shot: “Envision Healthcare, TeamHealth, SCP Partners, ApolloMD, and APP — are owned by private equity firms that have accumulated nine- or ten-figure sums of debt buying out smaller competitors. Making the interest payments required by that debt leaves no room for extravagances like higher doctor-patient ratios.”
And, HCA, and all of them in the boardroom, the investors, the higher ups and the middle managers, again, outside, in the woods, with the UkoNazis. easy as apple pie.
The most prominent driver of the ER doc glut, doctors say, is the hospital giant HCA Healthcare, which has emerged as the nation’s largest single sponsor of post-med school residency programs.
This is a recent development: Until 2015, HCA’s annual report contained a boilerplate sentence about how its hospitals “do not typically engage in extensive medical research and education programs.” Last year, the company issued a press release welcoming an incoming class of two thousand medical residents and boasting of being the “largest provider of graduate medical education” in the country.
Physicians with experience in various outposts of the hospital chain’s burgeoning educational empire say that HCA is exploiting residents at the expense of their educations and future patients. Doctors familiar with HCA residencies in Florida, for example, say the programs are often run by physicians with flimsy-to-nonexistent academic credentials, and many say they are mystified as to how the programs first gained accreditation.
Now, just ramp this up, and look at every stock holder, every boardroom, every Fortune 5000 company, all the them, sucking the blood of the citizens. The “services” throughout the land — hiring outfits, HR, payroll, research, staffing, etc., etc., all outsourcing outfits, third party rip-off units, and then all the rip-off Salesforce and Indeed “services” systems sucking nickels for each nanosecond of what they do — stripping away the cohesion of a company, or a business — and here we are: A Nation of OUTSOURCING and MIDDLE men/women. .
It’s the rent-a-cop on military bases formula. It is outsourcing and Zoom Sourcing and sucking a decent company’s resources dry. Vulture Capitalism, as in Bain, the Romney little extortion racket.
“These hospitals have so few nurses left that the residents are stuck doing all the IV bags, changing the sheets, while any patient with a moderately complex case is going elsewhere,” said one physician familiar with HCA residency programs, who asked to remain anonymous because they live in a state where the company has substantial market power.
And this is it for the political whores, the entire system that is the Savagery of Capitalism, this so-called representative democracy (not) whereby lobbies and lawyers and layer upon layer of rip-off scheme keep this sham going.
Nothing works. I filed a Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) complaint about the job I had two jobs ago: ageism, sexism, bizarre supervisor coming into my office and unloading, etc. etc. Telling me about her rapes. TWO years ago. That state-run outfit, all the investigators, the screeners, the judges, dead humanity, and still no word, no decision. And, an unemployment claim, 9 months ago, from the last shit-hole job I had, and that was denied, I appealed, and that judge found in favor of the shit-hole nonprofit, and one more appeal by me, and alas, have I heard word on that? On the BOLI? This is the system of middle managers and paper pushers/mouse clickers.
These are human scum too, these state agencies, here, in this fucked up Blue State Ore-GUN. Everything now is rigged against the 80 Percent, that is, those of us with no clout, no bank accounts ready for litigation, and alas, even smart ones like me, while we can navigate these systems of oppression, the end result is these state departments are full of evil, lazy, idiots. Made to fail. Made to fail us.
Donbass!
Here you go for masturbation of the Holly-dirt/USA kind. How many billions worldwide will this USA propaganda show make?
And yet, and yet. Donbass. Women and children and marketplaces and maternity wards BOMBED by the USA and France, vis-a-vis the weapons of the west. With the aid of Musk satellites. Bono from U2 will come to the rescue of Ukraine. Go to the Telgram channel and follow “Donbass Devushka” or “Russell Texas Bentley” or “Jim “Fergie” Chambers” or “Grahama Phillips” or “Brian Bertic’s Newsatlas” or “Ukrainian Policy Matters.”
Be a human, and stay off the putrid MSM, the legacy media. Having my angst with these scum in Oregon, with the IRS, with the pigs around me who have Trump Derangement Syndrome, who think Biden is Better than Rapist Trump, and then having people cancel me, or shut their fucking ears about crimes of USA, UK, ZioLensky Ukraine, yes, this is nothing compared to what Russell Texas Bentley has witnessed today and the past few days as the Ukraine Nazi Military sends rockets into schools.
One of the heaviest artillery attacks on the center of Donetsk city civilian areas by US/Ukrop nazis in the last 8 years of war, happened today, June 13th.
At this point, it’s not even news. If you don’t know by now who’s the good guys and who are the mass murdering coward terrorist war criminals, I got nothing more to say to you.
And if you DO know who is who and what is what, well, the time for talk is over. Our enemies are YOUR enemies too, and soon enough, and I mean REAL soon, they will be killing you and yours just like they are killing us. Your choice is clear – You can bend over and take it, or you can stand up and fight. It’s life or death, us or them, starting NOW. Get to work! DAVAI!
He’s 62, and we have corresponded.
So, Gringos, so Yankees, so Confederates, so Woke Wimps, so Educated (sic) Elites, so Rotten Politicians, so Old White Women, so Young Uneducated Students. Those are the ones killing kids because they put their fucking yellow and blue and rainbow face masks on in pathetic spineless ways.
Here, educate yourselves:
The town of Telmanovo was shelled by the Kiev junta’s punitive forces on June 4, 2015, from Granitnoye village, Volnovaha region, controlled by the junta’s forces. The shelling that abruptly started at around 19:45 took away the life of a 5-year old boy, Vanya Nesteruk, who was playing outside with his friends at that time. Three adults were injured. The shelling targeted the private households and the school stadium. More than 20 rockets have hit Telmanovo on that day. The United States-supported Kiev’s punitive forces continued the shelling on the following day as the “Essence of Time” war correspondent, call sign “Texas”, was interviewing the locals on camera.

Then, this guy, a global devil, hateful, rotten to the core:
In an attempt to arouse more sympathy from its Western partners, the Kiev regime is changing its rhetoric and even begining to recognize the real situation of the Ukrainian army on the battlefield.
On June 12, Vladimir Zelensky signed a law allowing the Ukrainian command to use territorial defense fighters to perform tasks in areas of military operations.
The Territorial Defense is a paramilitary structure created in the wake of Euromaidan. At the beginning of 2022, its brigades included about two million fighters.
The so-called Teroborona units consist of Maidan activists, nationalists and veterans of the war in Donbass. Basically, these are not professional military, but rather civilians who have not received the necessary training. They were mainly used as armed groups serving the interests of local business.
Previously, members of Teroborona were exempted from conscription in case of hostilities in Ukraine. However, after the start of Russia’s military operation, some of them had to take part in hostilities for which they were not ready either morally or technically.
Dozens of Ukrainian units complained about the huge losses and lack of weapons and training, pointing out that they were sent to the front lines illegally.
As a result, Zelensky’s decree legalized sending untrained members of Teroborona to the front as cannon fodder for the professional Russian army. Zelensky’s current decision confirms the huge losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. (source)
News:
As of June 13, the fierce battle for the city of Severodonetsk continues. The recent days were marked by several incidents which confirmed the deplorable situation for the Armed Forces Of Ukraine in the city. The AFU confirmed the loss of control over the center of Severodonetsk
On June 13, Denis Pushilin, head of the Donetsk People’s Republic, said that the attacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the territory of populated areas in the DPR had become more frequent, in connection with which he noted the need to increase the military contingent of the Russian Federation and the DPR. He claimed that “An understanding has been reached that all the necessary additional forces of the allied forces, primarily the Russian Federation, will be involved”. The head of the republic also noted that Ukrainian soldiers violate the rules of combat and use prohibited methods of warfare.
One of the AFU attacks with CAESARs was recorded on June 12 in the center of Donetsk. The DPR representative in the JCCCP confirmed that the strikes were made by the French self-propelled howitzer CAESAR with a caliber of 155 mm. The attack was ordered by Ukrainian Colonel Roman Vladimirovich Kachur, commander of the 55th Separate Artillery Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As a result of shelling in the Kirovsky district of Donetsk an elderly woman born in 1938 was injured.
The Fucking French:
This is how the Nazi’s of Ukraine, and the Jewish “head” of the snake deal with people of UKRAINE:
Three people were killed as a result of the shelling. At least 18 more civilians were injured, including 2 children. Among those killed were a young woman and her 11-year-old son. During the artillery shelling, several retail outlets were destroyed, cars were damaged. Fire crews of the Ministry of Emergency Situations arrived at the scene.
This is pathetic, sad, end of brain power in the USA, where you, I, have to go to super alternative sites to find information about the Nazi’s of the Ukraine Run by a Jewish Comi of Ukraine who murder children! And then there is racist Israel, a friend of Zelensky;
Good one by Jonathan Cook, over at Mint Press: “FORGET LIBERATING UKRAINE – WE FIRST NEED TO LIBERATE OUR MINDS.”
Because we are as blind to our own tribalism as Meretz is to its racism towards Palestinians, we cannot understand why anyone else might fear us more than we fear them. Our “superior” civilization has cultivated in us a solipsism, a narcissism, that refuses to acknowledge our threatening presence in the world.
The Russians could never be responding to a threat – real or imagined – that we might pose by expanding our military presence right up to Russia’s borders.
The Russians could never see our NATO military alliance as primarily aggressive rather than defensive, as we claim, even though somewhere in a small, dark mental recess where things that make us uncomfortable are shoved we know that Western armies have launched a series of direct wars of aggression against countries like Iraq and Afghanistan, and via proxies in Syria, Yemen, Iran and Venezuela.
The Russians could never genuinely fear neo-Nazi groups in Ukraine – groups that until recently Western media worried were growing in power – even after those neo-Nazis were integrated into the Ukrainian military and led what amounts to a civil war against ethnic Russian communities in the country’s east.
In our view, when Putin spoke of the need to de-Nazify Ukraine, he was not amplifying Russians’ justifiable fears of Nazism on their doorstep, given their history, or the threat those groups genuinely pose to ethnic Russian communities nearby. No, he was simply proving that he and the likely majority of Russians who think like he does are insane.
More than that, his hyperbole gave us permission to bring our covert arming of these neo-Nazis groups out into the light. Now we embrace these neo-Nazis, as we do the rest of Ukraine, and send them advanced weaponry – many billions of dollars worth of advanced weaponry.
So, we go from ER doctors, and that one story, that one aspect of Zombie and Predatory and Casino Capitalism, to the Lies of Ukraine and UK and USA and EU!
I’ll be doing a feature on Texas Bentley. Long live the Texan, who is a communist like yours truly!
So, good friend, Madu, who I met decades ago, at UT-El Paso. He was coming through buildings where part-time English faculty had offices. That big smile, that large voice, and an open hand. He was working the used/discount book gig: going to colleges to get books from faculty and bookstores that might have been extra copies from the respective publishers called review copies.
So, part-time faculty like myself, in the 1980s, would order tons of these reviewer’s copies of grammar, lit, and survey collections. Then fellows like Madu might come by with hard cold cash to buy them up.
The old days when students could find alternative prices (lower) than what college bookstores would charge. Madu has that service.
We talked, and his Nigerian love, his Nigerian spirit, the fact he was in Houston, with a wife and three children, all of that, made the chats open and real. I had just had a baby girl, so we talked about her.
Then politics, Africa, my own activism around Central America, the US-Mexico border, the environment, twin plants, militarization of campuses and the border, and my own work trying to unionize part-time exploited faculty.
Global politics. Nigeria, Africa, Diasporas, evil US-backed dictators, colonialism, post-colonialism, the trauma, the long-term biopiracy of Africa, the theft of resources, and alas, imagine, 30 years later, almost, and African countries are in the grips of AFRICOM, the US vassals, the exploiters, the mining, ag, and oil thieves. Until, 2022, many are becoming failed states, famines, the entire world of data mining, Zuckerberg encircling the continent with his Metaverse, and on and on. The story of United Fruit Company, Coca Cola, Monsanto, Big Pharma, Hearts and Minds USA special forces, and proxy wars and Nationa ENdowmenr for Democracy/CIA fomenting hell.
Oh, this devil USA:
Phoenix Express 2021, the AFRICOM-sponsored military exercise involving 13 countries in the Mediterranean Sea region, concluded last week. While its stated aim was to combat “irregular migration” and trafficking, the U.S. record in the region indicates more nefarious interests. “AFRICOM military’s exercise: The art of creating new pretexts for propagating U.S. interests” (source)
Go to MR Online, and then put in AFRICOM. Or, AFRICOM and Nigeria, or pick your country. Mark my words: Everything, I say EVERYTHING, tied to the USA and UK and EU when involving African nations now, well, pure evil:
This is recent, as in Oct. 2021:
Please join us for the launch of the international month of action by attending a webinar on October 1st, titled “AFRICOM at 13: Building the Popular Movement for Demilitarization and Anti-Imperialism in Africa.” Speakers from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Ghana, Guinea Bissau, and the African diaspora will discuss AFRICOM and what we can do to expel imperialist forces from the continent. Following the webinar, events will take place throughout October organized by various organizations on the African continent, in the U.S., and around the world to demand an end to the U.S. and western invasion and occupation of Africa.
The complete withdrawal of U.S. forces from Africa,
The demilitarization of the African continent,
The closure of U.S. bases throughout the world, and
That the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) oppose U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) and conduct hearings on AFRICOM’s impact on the African continent, with the full participation of members of U.S. and African civil society.
Written by Tunde Osazua, a member of the Black Alliance for Peace’s Africa Team and the coordinator of the U.S. Out of Africa Network.
So, I was on Madu’s radio show, and he has run for Senate in Nigeria, and he wants to run for president. However, as he clearly states: “You have to have millions of dollars and militias to buy the votes.”
This is his organization:
Here’s a statement from Madu:
Not rising up by Nigerians from within Nigeria and around the world beyond ethnic, regional, religious and partisan political boundaries to save Nigeria from the hands of her mostly visionless, ignorant, insensitive, inhumane, squandermanic and most painfully, corrupt and morally bankrupt drivers of government at all levels whose actions have significantly weakened her sovereignty and territorial integrity, and made her peoples so poor and vulnerable , is a sin against God and a grave infraction against humanity for which history and unborn generations of Nigerians will judge us all harshly if we fail today to act unconditionally to save the country from an imminent collapse.
….Smart Madu Ajaja
This is a serious and long-term project, the decolonizing of the world, including all those countries’ economies, the land, the people, the cultures and the individuals:
This Special Issue aims to explore the complex and contested relationship between trauma studies and postcolonial criticism, focusing on the ongoing project to create a decolonized trauma theory that attends to and accounts for the suffering of minority groups and non-Western cultures, broadly defined as cultures beyond Western Europe and North America. The issue builds on the insights of, inter alia, Stef Craps’s book, Postcolonial Witnessing, and responds to his challenge to interrogate and move beyond a Eurocentric trauma paradigm. Authors were invited to submit papers on the theorization and representation of any aspect of postcolonial, non-Western and/or minority cultural trauma with a focus predominately, but not exclusively, on literature. (Source= Decolonizing Trauma Studies: Trauma and Postcolonialism … 200+ pages!)
I talked with Madu on his radio show, and below, the show. I do cover a lot of philosophical territory, and alas, this is about Madu and his love of his country and how quickly the country of his birth has spiraled into a country of selling people as slaves, kidnapping people for organs, murder, rape, theft.
So under the cover of counterterrorism, AFRICOM is beefing up Nigeria’s military to ensure the free flow of oil to the West, and using the country as a proxy against China’s influence on the continent. And that is the issue, too, that Madu is not happy with his country being exploited by anyone, including China. I explained to him that the USA has the military bases, the guns, and China has the contracts, the builders. In fact, Madu is spiritually exasperated at how his own countrymen turn against their own countrymen, and how there is a overlay of trauma and laziness and desperation and inflicted PTSD, including the post-colonial trauma referenced above.
USA is like a storm of ticks, locusts, mosquitos, viruses, as the syphilitic notions of Neocon and Neoliberal anti-diplomacy hits country after country like disease. A plague.
The greatest threat looming over our planet, the hegemonistic pretentions of the American Empire are placing at risk the very survival of the human species. We continue to warn you about this danger, and we appeal to the people of the United States and the world to halt this threat, which is like a sword hanging over our heads.

Here, a bit of an update:
The Death Toll of U.S. Imperialism Since World War 2
A critical disclaimer: Figures relating to the death toll of U.S. Imperialism are often grossly underestimated due to the U.S. government’s lack of transparency and often purposeful coverup and miscounts of death tolls. In some cases, this can lead to ranges of figures that include millions of human lives–as in the figure for Indonesia below with estimates of 500,000 to 3 million people. We have tried to provide the upward ranges in these cases since we suspect the upward ranges to be more accurate if not still significantly underestimated. These figures were obtained from multiple sources including but not limited to indigenous scholar Ward Churchill’s Pacifism as Pathology as well as Countercurrents’ article Deaths in Other Nations Since WWII Due to U.S. Interventions (please note that use of Countercurrents’ statistics isn’t an endorsement of the site’s politics).

For over a year, we’ve been tracing Greater Boston’s networks of support for the colonization of Palestine–and how these networks participate in other forms of oppression, from policing to U.S. imperialism to medical apartheid and privatization.)
Madu and most activist Nigerians know these facts. Big global facts. The vices the United States of America has put the world in. The dirty Empire. The global cop. And, so, Nigerians in the USA number around two million, with a few hundred thousand in Houston. Now, of course, off camera, I repeated to Madu that most Americans, oh, 90 percent of the 355 million currently residing (most illegally) here do not care about Blacks, Africans, Chinese, and again one American is worth a million Nigerians. It is a juggling act, being part of the Diaspora, and Madu is a nurse, and he, like I said, ran for Senate, and lost, and he has been inspired by some youth, but again, youth are being colonized by the ticks of data. Read below the YouTube window.
So, Alison McDowell at Wrench in the Gears, and then Silicon Icarus and others are talking about the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the next colonialization of Africa. Coltan and gold may be like gold to the Wall Streeters and Transnationalists, and water and food and good land may be like platinum to the same group of thieves, but data is worth its gigabytes/terabytes in emeralds. “French Imperialism vs. Crypto Colonialism: The Central African Republic Experiment” & “Blockchain Technology & Coercive Surveillance of the Global South” both by Sebs Solomon.
So, Madu, and great honorable youth in Nigeria who want to have a free, open, clean, sustainable, cultural-centric, food security, self-imposing, country of healthy bodies, minds and ecosystems, I am sorry to report the devils wear skinny jeans, and many come to the USA from India with work permits to work and live in Seattle/Redmond to work for Microsoft/Google/Facebook and all the other devils helping put these systems in place:
There will never be enough money allocated in the budget, qualified teachers, or places in schools for the population we have; therefore, emerging technologies like Virtual Reality allow us to leapfrog these problems and offer the hope of more affordable, scalable and better quality education.
It is striking to read that UNICEF doesn’t believe there will ever be enough money to help all of the children in the world receive a traditional, classroom, education; therefore, it’s better to invest and scale Virtual Reality education — a rather pessimistic take from the “children’s fund” arm of the UN. UNICEF Innovation Fund, has virtual reality education programs in Chile, India, Nigeria, and Ghana. In Ghana, they noted there are “challenges to accessing the necessary teaching and learning resources for students to receive quality education; which is compounded by the lack of necessary and up-to-date education materials, huge class sizes and the lack of necessary infrastructural facilities.” (source)

These Op-Ed’s I pen in Newport News Timesare my reckoning with loads of travel, plethora of spiritual work, and in-the-trenches journalistic forays dredging unimaginable but potent “land.”
I muck around with smalltown newspapers, even when the gig pays zero shekels, because I have a thing for smalltown newspapers staying in business. REALLY. So here you go:
I ended up in Spokane, years ago, near or around Father’s Day, 2001. Lo and behold, the story of the celebration is rooted there. A Spokane woman, Sonora Smart Dodd (man, I spent a lot of time in the Sonora – as diver, hiker, journalist), wanted to honor her Civil War vet father, who ended up raising her and five siblings after their mother died in childbirth.
June 19, 1910 was the “first” father’s day (Spokane, WA). The official national holiday designation came from a very odd father indeed, Richard Nixon, as the third Sunday in June (1972).
Much philosophical, political, sociological, and psychological territory has been traversed covering what it means to be a father, a son, an uncle, and a man. Oh, the dissertations that have been festooned dissecting intersections of American life with “the father.” We even have a bifurcation in politics around the father figure.–
I had my college students look at narrative framing around Democrats and Republicans when it comes to the strict father ideology (conservatives) and the nurturing father (progressives).
Two worldviews clash, as the strict father assumes that the world is inherently dangerous and difficult so children, who are born bad, must be made good. Whereas, the progressives see children born good, and parents can make them better.
Lessons in right versus wrong and a moral authority – George H W Bush and Ronald Reagan – define the conservative father. Contrastingly, nurturing empathy and responsibility for oneself and taking care of others – Jimmy Carter or Barak Obama – are characteristics of the liberal father. George Lakoff looked at this, as well as how conservatives use language to dominate politics.
Here I was teaching at a university and community college in El Paso and adult professionals in Juarez, guiding them to consider the many sides of the male coin: Texas, a macho state governed by George W. Bush, and then for one term, Ann Richards. The town was more than 85 percent Latino, and my students (parents or grandparents from Mexico) were navigating what it means to be not just a college-educated person, but a high school graduate.
I also had many artist friends, and others, like masons and auto body guys, on both sides of the border, who were products of gangs. Many an out-of-town intellectual or journalist has ventured to this bi-national area to study gangs.
Many of my homies in and out of gang-life inked giant images of the Virgin de Guadalupe tattoos on their skin.
Many of the gangs in LA were rooted first in El Paso. I worked in Segundo Barrio, with youth who were in gangs like Los Aztecas and Los Fatherless. I worked in prisons as a college teacher where gangs influenced each writing session.
I worked on military compounds – Fort Bliss, White Sands, even at the United Sergeants Major Academy. Back then, very few women came through the Academy to get their last stripe, E-9. Many units were men’s clubs. Gangs, or sort.
Even in that setting, I pushed combat-toughened students to think about the role of fathers now (1986 to 2000) and back in their grandfathers’ days.
What is it to be a man in America? What is it to be a son or daughter in America? We went into the how’s and why’s of deadly violence in gang life, and we talked about the deadlier violence perpetrated by US military.
Men are from Mars (Roman god of war, Ares) and women are from Venus (beauty, love and relationships, as it represents the sentimental, affective and sensitive side of the heart). Right? Hard versus soft, right? Should we allow females in combat? And, then shelves of books on rape culture and toxic masculinity.
The landscape was mined with explosive topics from the get-go for me, as I got my classes rolling on debates and research projects around those controversial topics.
What does it mean to be father? Definitions have morphed foundationally since I started journalism and teaching at age 21.
I taught poet Robert Bly’s Iron John, and I had to defend that action since teaching “men to be men” in English departments seemed anathema to the “woke world.”
In ordinary life, a mentor can guide a young man through various disciplines, helping to bring him out of boyhood into manhood; and that in turn is associated not with body building, but with building an emotional body capable of containing more than one sort of ecstasy.
― Robert Bly, Iron John: A Book About Men
I taught the Fight Club, too, and had to defend that book choice as well. However, my reading list included Alice Walker (The Color Purple), Sapphire (Black Wings & Blind Angels), Margaret Atwood (The Handmaid’s Tale) and so many others.
I worked into syllabi Charles Bowden’s Juarez: The Laboratory of Our Future and Down by the River: Drugs, Money, Murder, and Family to some consternation from female faculty in El Paso and Spokane.
As a case manager for the houseless, just-out-of-prison, struggling with addiction, I found many a male figure, for sure, was either absent from the men and women’s lives, or that father was someone who’d easily occupy Dante’s Seventh circle of hell.
There are many good men. Last month, I met a fellow who lives and works in Waldport. Eight years in the Marine Corps. He’s forty-five, and has 9 “kids” living with him: His own biological children, and those he has taken in from family members who have run away from their duties, to include mothers and fathers.
He’s a living lesson for any man – he teaches respect for all people, including those living in vans or tents. He gives back to Waldport community with free clothes and furniture. He is navigating all the attention needed from those 9 youth, ranging from toddlers to 18 years old.
Happy Father’s Day!
In ordinary life, a mentor can guide a young man through various disciplines, helping to bring him out of boyhood into manhood; and that in turn is associated not with body building, but with building and emotional body capable of containing more than one sort of ecstasy.
The Wild Man doesn’t come to full life through being “natural,” going with the flow, smoking weed, reading nothing, and being generally groovy. Ecstasy amounts to living within reach of the high voltage of the golden gifts. The ecstasy comes after thought, after discipline imposed on ourselves, after grief.
Not Just One of those Tales of Another Dead Indian
Amanda, the woman whose ghost holds Yachats
by Paul Haeder / June 5th, 2022
bloody feet dampen soil her DNA cleaved to earth, forced blind trek called “a march” yet she sees through darkness, earth torn for steel guns, rusty crosses, parchment proof of broken treaties tears bleeding into wind signatures of unholy men worth the indigo nothing more, promises, lies
before US Military kidnapping, white mountain man grabbed her fornicated, child from uncommon law, but mother thrives until march of tears from beachhead south into basalt canyons toes bound by scars stumbling, old blind woman disappeared, or bones to dust
reality: Amanda De-Cuys was a blind Native American woman of the Coos tribe who traversed coastal trail 158 years ago, but not by choice. she fled to Coos Bay, but designated runaway she was tagged like elk, as US army men carried-out forced march seventy-five miles north daughter left behind with common law gringo, 12 of them prodded by uniformed glory now a land of colonization a continent crying slow death
in 2022 mostly gray heads gather at the grotto rededication of new bridge, Amanda’s Trail statue of blind Indian these people hold court listen to speakers the mulch of Oregon forest like fungi on tongues
Yachats, hippie town tears of Umpqua, Coos, Siletz, Alsi forever there, a mist a new rainbow each time a new visitor hikes hoping Amanda’s song is caught in kingfisher or murre or guillemot transmigration of natives’ souls
Right after Malcolm X’s death, The New York Times editorialized that “The world he saw through those horn-rimmed glasses of his was distorted and dark. But he made it darker still with his exaltation of fanaticism. Yesterday someone came out of that darkness that he spawned, and killed him.” Who would’ve thunk the outré woke Times cancelled Malcolm X on his deathbed?
–Excerpt from Norman Finkelstein’s forthcoming book on Cancel Culture and Academic Freedom
One man’s fanaticism is another man’s capitalism. Fanatics are defined by their times? Are Israeli mercenary military fanatics when they murder children, wheelchair bound old men, or journalists? This is the coin of the realm — who defines us, the 80 Percent? We can be self-described dissidents, but if that dissent is directed at capital, banks, USA, Western Deformed Culture, Racists, the entire project to hem in “the other” while the great white hoards in NZ, Australia, EU, Klanada, USA, UK live off the blood-sweat-tears and stolen food, resources and land of “the other,” who in the eyes of the West, are undeserving.
What is the form of fanatcism of your enemy, or religious bodies, or laws?
“The Jews are called human beings, but the non-Jews are not humans. They are beasts.” –Talmud: Baba mezia, 114b
“Every Jew, who spills the blood of the godless (non-Jews), is doing the same as making a sacrifice to God.” –Talmud: Bammidber raba c 21 & Jalkut 772
I could go on and on, into “that” religion, or the other two in the triad of Judeo-Christian-Abrahamic fanaticism.
There’s much now about the Russians, and then the Ukranians, and then Latvia, and Poland, and the Finns and Swedes and that entire project of hating Russia, hating Slavs, hating USSR, hating Soviets.
It’s madness, but we’ve seen it many many times before. And, back to canceling:
Sure, the Red Army won the war, but at a huge cost. And, fanatics in Germany and in Japan, they are right at it again. Arming themselves. What lunacy is that. And, who did the Russians defeat? Oh, they defeated Hungarians, Danes, Swedes, Finns, Germans, Austrians, Poles, Ukrainians, and others who aligned with the Nazis. Fanatics, those Nazis, but not for long since they came to the USA and helped build the space-missile program, and seed the CIA. Fanatics, right, CIA?
Right off the bat, though, today, I have to see the war criminal Kissinger, at the table, interviewd and consulted again and again, and here he is with that bastion of MI6, Financial Times: video.
So this billionaire, this chugging-along Zionist, this profoundly perverse human (sic) gets the stage, but a youth in Latvia, who is memorializing the millions of Russians dead and killed in WWII to defeat the Nazis, faces five years in prison for, a Russian flag? See Mickey Z, “Henry Kissinger, the World Economic Forum and Population Control.”
The mother of a young Latvian man, who is facing charges for brandishing a Russian flag during World War Two Victory Day celebrations in the EU country’s capital, has insisted that his arrest was groundless.
Alexander Stefanov was detained by police on May 10 near a monument commemorating Soviet soldiers in Riga. He had a Russian national flag with him, and was charged with justifying genocide, crimes against humanity, crimes against peace and war crimes.
The Latvian authorities said that this year, instead of celebrating Victory Day, the country would mourn those who died or were wounded in Russia’s ongoing military operation in Ukraine. They banned the display of any Russian or Soviet symbols, warning that it would be considered glorification of “aggression,” and could lead to criminal and administrative liability.
Alexander’s mother Svetlana Stefanova told RT that her son could face up to five years in prison if convicted, but a lighter punishment like probation or a fine was also possible.
Her son’s treatment by the Latvian police was totally unexpected, the woman said, especially considering that, according to her, Alexander did nothing wrong.
The young man had engaged with police about the display of Russian symbols during Victory Day celebrations on Monday, with officers telling him that they were only banned on May 8 and May 9, she said.
Alexander returned to the memorial on Tuesday, May 10, together with many other people, who were shocked and angered after learning that thousands of flowers they had laid at the foot of the monument a day before had been removed by a bulldozer.
This time, he was bearing a Russian flag, confident that he wasn’t violating any rules, but was still approached by officers.
Fanatics, no? Again, valorizing war criminals is a big deal, and anything Russia is a bad deal. It is more than just “cancel” culture. It is running through the veins of youth, in their DNA, especially Western Youth, in the USA, in those fascist Democratic Party and liberal mentality circles. Young people are cancelling professors, teachers, wait staff, anyone they come in contact with who do not align with their putrid belief system, that I-Me-Us are right, and any deviation is WRONG.
There are thousands of Facebook groups and Meet-up organizations dedicated to the loss of a child — adult children who have stopped talking with parents. Cancelled. Persona non grata. This is the estrangement principle of AmeriKKKa, and the family, that is, THE Family, for so many in the USA, is not a core protector or refuge. The cancelling of our own blood based on so many flimsy and pathetically psycho-babbling rationales is at an epidemic level.
Daughter deciding that a single mother was too, well, too stressed at work, too involved in the child’s success at school, and too ornery when coming off of despicable work conditions into the home. Controlling, too controlling, that’s one cancellation. Then, a grandmother who has been frozen out of seeing her grandchildren becauce she and her immune compromised husband did not get the jab? The daughter cancels the grandparents, no if’s or and’s or but’s. No compromise. No mediation. Hell, just like that — we can’t even have anything to do with you because of not just not having the SARS-CoV2 jab (sic), but the fact that you would take that medical decision stand on your own without consideration of us, the parents of your grandchildren.
A mother who hasn’t seen or spoken with a son and his kids for years, decades, because the son decided to cut ties, stop any dialogue, and blatantly stated years ago — “I want nothing to do with you.”
Oh, look at this vapidity:
Throwaway society, shallow, me-myself-and-I:
We wouldn’t have cut our parent out of our lives if we didn’t genuinely feel a threat to our emotional wellbeing.
It is no one’s fault—miscommunication happens in almost any relationship at some point. But there is no joy in it for anyone, estrangement was done out of extreme necessity and we wish it could be different.
It means that we also love ourselves enough to not force something that will disrupt our lives moving forward with our spouses, children, our just ourselves. But what is good for us is also good for you. Live your best life without us as well.
There are all sorts of rationales, around “toxic relationships, a difference of opinions, difference in values” and on and on. The default is for many, “I can’t talk to you because this conversation — YOU — is becoming toxic.” It is a virus, no, debating the issues of the day, tied to, well, any number of topics that end up on Facebook, in MSM, on TikTok, what have you? These interactions between people of different minds are becoming a thing of the past. So, it makes sense that adult grown children would want to ditch a relationship with a parent or two. End of discussion. This is not just with youth, or within families. Try arguing about a bill, or about a tax, or a fine or anything dealing with the government or a corporation. Try getting your elected officials to talk about anything outside their frame or silo. Try and talk about the murder of JFK, Malcolm X or MLK, Jr. Talk about SARS-CoV2? CIA training Azov Nazis? But killing family ties? Where does this come from? Some Sam Shepherd True West game? Netflix? All the perversions in the media about toxic this and toxic that, with no mediation and direct support to heal and make amends? In fact, psychologists say that the parent-child relationship is typically more important to the parent—and that’s a perfectly normal part of human psychological development. But it also means that absence is often felt more strongly by the parents than by the adult children. Imagine that, assisted care, memory care, old folks home, poor house, the streets, the van, whatever, as long as I do not have to deal with Dad or Mom. I have my own Private Idaho!
People I know who are 60, women, and they time and time again, when they are in line at a store, or in other situations, they feel as if they are unseen, an treated as non-human. Gray hair, a little pudgy, and that woman is persona non grata. Again, just three examples close to my circle, and not one example involves any shit like abusive parents, drugs, bizarre men coming into the house, etc.
I have had many clients over the years whose parents were despicable, whose parents dealt drugs, were running and gunning in the community, were allowing despicable people into the home, all of that, and more, including introducing a young child to drugs, booze, porn and violence. And yet, these folk still want something to do with their parents. Not a complete cutting off at the knees with this yammering, “I never want to speak to you or see you again.”
Oh, and those Star Chamber folk like Kissinger? He has two children who fawn over his 98-year-old self.
But, the Harvard Crimson, the student newspaper for the same school Kissigner attended, had this to say about a Kissinger “talk” at the elite criminal-producing college:
On Thursday February 2nd, the Institute of Politics will host “A Conversation with Henry Kissinger.” On its website, the IOP describes the controversial statesman with two titles:
“Henry A. Kissinger
Chairman, Kissinger Associates, Inc.
56th United States Secretary of State”
They neglect a third, more accurate label: War Criminal.
During his brief tenure at the forefront of U.S. foreign policy, Kissinger got a lot done. In his first two years in office, he helped Richard Nixon sabotage Vietnamese peace talks for his own political gain, expanded that war into Laos and Cambodia (the destabilizing effects of which would pave the way for the rise of the Khmer Rouge and the death of up to two million people), and advocated the bombing of, in his own words, “anything that moves.”
In 1971, Kissinger backed Pakistan in its war against Bangladesh despite evidence of massacre and rape. In ‘73, he orchestrated a military coup against the democratically elected Allende regime of Chile, installing in its stead the violently oppressive Pinochet dictatorship. And in ‘75, the then-Secretary of State lent his tacit support to President Suharto of Indonesia―himself a despot already responsible for the mass killings of hundreds of thousands―in the deadly conquest of East Timor. Kissinger himself, in proposing an intervention in Cyprus, summed up his philosophy best: “The illegal we do immediately; the unconstitutional takes a little longer.”
Appalling though this all may be, Kissinger’s most enduring legacy is subtler in its malignance. The foreign policy of Henry Kissinger is defined, above all, by an utter contempt for human life and absolute pursuit of “American interests.” For every one of Kissinger’s crimes that goes unpunished and for every bit of praise he receives, the belief that the United States can do whatever it wants with the rest of the world is further concretized. Behind every thoughtless, disastrous intervention since then―behind the mujahideen and the Contras, behind the Iraq war and the El Mozote Massacre―is the work of Henry Kissinger.
Now, what prompts me to start off big, with Kissinger that is and then move into Cancel Culture and that includes Canceling All Things Russian? Well, wise Edward Curtain lays out the dillema in a nutshell:
While the so-called liberal and conservative corporate mainstream media – all stenographers for the intelligence agencies – pour forth the most blatant propaganda about Russia and Ukraine that is so conspicuous that it is comedic if it weren’t so dangerous, the self-depicted cognoscenti also ingest subtler messages, often from the alternative media.
A woman I know and who knows my sociological analyses of propaganda contacted me to tell me there was an excellent article about the war in Ukraine at The Intercept, an on-line publication funded by billionaire Pierre Omidyar I have long considered a leading example of much deceptive reporting wherein truth is mixed with falsehoods to convey a “liberal” narrative that fundamentally supports the ruling elites while seeming to oppose them.
This, of course, is nothing new since it’s been the modus operandi of all corporate media in their own ideological and disingenuous ways, such as The New York Times, CBS, the Washington Post, the New York Daily News, Fox News, CNN, NBC, etc. for a very long time.
Nevertheless, out of respect for her judgment and knowing how deeply she feels for all suffering people, I read the article. Written by Alice Speri, its title sounded ambiguous – “The Left in Europe Confronts NATO’s Resurgence After Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine” – until I saw the subtitle that begins with these words: “Russia’s brutal invasion complicates…”
But I read on.
[…]
In other words, the article, couched in anti-war rhetoric, was anti-Russia propaganda. When I told my friend my analysis, she refused to discuss it and got angry with me, as if I therefore were a proponent of war I have found this is a common response. — “The Subtleties of Anti-Russia Leftist Rhetoric” by Edward Curtin
There you have it, for Curtain, who is in his 70s, at least, and how his small world is being framed through the cancel culture he is faced with, in these friendships (air quotes). No discussion, no mediated discussion, no looking at many sides to an issue or argument. No considering the gray areas of the topic or issue. Like my friends’ daughters and sons and grandchildren canceling them out so do the people in our lives we call friends. End of discussion, and you and your ideas do not exist!!
So, we are pro-war if you are against all the war-prepping and war-arming and war-manuevering of USA and Nato. But then, support for ZioLensky is somehow not supporting war? Look at what this subhuman is doing, and he is doing it rather well from a Zionist perspective. He is sucking up to and into Nato, Europe, USA and others. He is demanding billions in arms. He is overseeing (sic) a government that is made up of people from outside the country of Ukraine. He is amassing tens of millions of bucks (look at the Pandora Papers), and he is demanding “they” fight while “he/us” pontificates. There is not a single anti-war bone in Zelensky’s body, yet if you dare question the guy, dare question his background and his actions leading up to the Russian Special Military Operation, you will be cancelled and called a nut job.
Now, leaked documents prove that Zelensky and his inner circle have had their own network of offshore companies. Two belonging to the president’s partners were used to buy expensive property in London.
The revelations come from documents in the Pandora Papers, millions of files from 14 offshore service providers leaked to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and shared with partners around the world including OCCRP.
The documents show that Zelensky and his partners in a television production company, Kvartal 95, set up a network of offshore firms dating back to at least 2012, the year the company began making regular content for TV stations owned by Ihor Kolomoisky, an oligarch dogged by allegations of multi-billion-dollar fraud. The offshores were also used by Zelensky associates to purchase and own three prime properties in the center of London.
The documents also show that just before he was elected, he gifted his stake in a key offshore company, the British Virgin Islands-registered Maltex Multicapital Corp., to his business partner — soon to be his top presidential aide. And in spite of giving up his shares, the documents show that an arrangement was soon made that would allow the offshore to keep paying dividends to a company that now belongs to his wife. (Source)
Oh, the fanatical Zelenksy and his Jewish Fanatical Friends and his Kolomoisky, the fraudster of the billion dollar variety. And, yet, if you bring this up, if you tell people, Hell no, no arms and stuff or anything for ZioLensky, or his government.” Hell no, he has zero right to cry. He has to go. He has to be dragged to the negotiating table. He is killing his people, killing Russians, killing others. He must GO NOW.”
You know, just get that other fanatic, Joe Biden, to call up the young comic billionaire, ZioLensky, and say, “Nyet means no. No more bombs, bullets, weaponry. Get your ass to the table and save Ukraine by talking to Putin. Nyet.”
Fanaticism is Nato, is the leaders of EU, those messed up women leaders, those messed up male leaders. They are fanatics, and they must go.
So, the choice is, do you take out the guy holding the gun to your family’s heads? Do you take out a gang raping and pilaging group of guys? Do you just do what you have to do, and let the fanatics call it war, and just do it, period?
Of course, Russia should have done this years ago. Really. They’ve worked too long hoping for EU, Nato, the Jewish oligarchs, the Israelis, the Turks, the Americans, the Klanadians, all of them, to understand sanity, understand diplomacy, understand their perspective. Who are the fanastics? Not the Russians. Purely fanatical, those, the Wester, USA-UK, from Reagan, Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Biden, Thather, Blair, Johnson, and all points in between.
It all begs the question, (Sanhedrin 57a) “When a Jew murders a gentile (“Cuthean”), there will be no death penalty. What a Jew steals from a gentile he may keep?”
And what is fanatical when it comes to someone from Crimea who questions the oligarchs?
Alex Ladov, born and raised in Crimea and worked abroad.
I can tell you the story about so-called “Russian oligarchs”, this new batch of billionaires who are mostly Jewish. The main reason they became super-rich while contributing nothing to our society is very simple – Jews help Jews and money makes money. Many Soviet people started enriching themselves by stealing Soviet state assets when it became possible, but only those who managed to establish special relations with western banks and companies managed to become super-rich because they could get large credits, avoid taxes, channel money into offshores, etc. Soviet Jews were much more likely to connect with Western Jews to create schemes to pump oil abroad and return almost no money into Russian budget. Only after Putin scared them enough by sending to jail the boldest among them (Khodorkovsky) they started to pay taxes and now try to be useful for our country.
Also, their morale, or rather absence of morale, helped them to become billionaires a lot. A Russian man who makes 10 million dollars often stops working or works for his country and people around him. For a typical Jew he will make more money indefinitely, he will maximize profits and minimize taxes and other expenses as long as they can do that. Of course, some of them, after they become billionaires engage into philanthropy (just to improve their own image), but most of them will rather donate to Jewish organisations.
As for such reasons like love of education, etc. – in USSR we had universal free education and we all were studying together in the same schools; for example, we had 5 Jews in my class and they were no different from other children during socialism. However, they all got immigration advantage when Soviet Union collapsed; they all now live in US, and one of them invested money he made in America into buying apartments in my Crimea. As I know he bought several apartments for 5-10 thousand 30 years ago, now their cost is at least 10 times more. Guess why this not very clever guy was able to make so much money practically from thin air? Well, because western Jewish community helped Soviet Jews to immigrate, that’s all. Jews help Jews and money makes money.
Fanatical, off-base, prejudiced, biased, antisemitic? Or, a nuaned perspective. And what does this blog do with that perspective? Well, there are so many ways to look at the Soviet union’s collapse and gutting of resources and human and other capital. Austerity and the rich and super-rich. Who is to blame? Is there a conspiracy among the rich to stay rich, protect those riches, hide those riches, grow those riches, utilize those riches in a form of synicate? Fanatical?
Finally, a few other people I know who are facing this country’s barbarism. Again, I like to put in these screeds, the ground truth, and while this piece is spot on — “Booming” Economy Leaves Millions Behind: Part Four” by Shawgi Tell — how these criminal economic and political times hit us closely, from friend to family to acquaintance, tells the real story.
One woman, from Montreal, who came to this country with a man she met in Guatemala, an American, who she married, and he, being who he is, fanatical macho guy, abused her. It went on for five years. Why? That’s very complicated tied to spousal abuse syndrome and other lovely things.
She got out of here with a bunch of support. She is in Prescot, AZ. She is with her big lab, 85 pound puppy. That’s all she took with her besides the clothes on her back. She has gotten support from my sister and from a counselor she knows in Prescott. But she is also looking for a green card, and that process is almost done. Divorce is another step. This guy is from Arizona, and a bad character all around. Booze, and then, the bad bad seed of a father, and a mother who took the abuse, and so, the man and his brother have taken out their hate of the old man, and his physical abuse, onto the mother. Why would she every stay with this guy?
In the end, my friend from Canada is having a difficult time recovering. There are not a lot of battered women services in Prescott. She sees the redneck Trump angle of things there, and a lot of money floats around these retirement and second home and Zoom ranch house locales, and then the service economy where she works, full of the same shit — making due, or, if she was in 1970 USA, those tips and wages would get her a nice place, a car and some savings. She works at a high end private bar-club, and she gets tips, but she has to keep her mouth shut and listen to their pro-Ukraine crap, their talk about flipping house number five or number ten. Lots of money to throw around.
She’s trying to establish credit, and a small apartment, studio, is $1400 a month plus first and last and other deposits, but they do not take large dogs. It’s a pro-dog country, if you look at the commercials, but not in the rental house or apartment realm. The dog is her emotional support, getting through the shit of abuse from the husband.
Housing is shot through here, and most of Arizona, to include Prescott is smokey from the fires; the rich have gated homes and gated minds; the old time funky feel of the town is turning into entitled money hoarders who may complain about Roe-v. Wage floundering, but they are far from critics of the rest of this shit hole.
Another example, here a woman working on fighting the vaccination mandates, and the mask madness, etc. Her perspective about Hawaii:
This is to reiterate what we had the pleasure of talking about on the phone the other day. Things that still drive me crazy about this place. Yes, kids still have to wear their masks at school & for any school activities. All adults on the island are pretty much mask free, for the moment, will get to that in a sec.
So, school kids get to hang out maskless while playing with their friends at home, and they also happen to be in their class. They get to ride the school bus maskless, sitting inches away from other kids. But, by God, once they step foot off that bus, the masks go on. The unions have the teachers sooooo paranoid of catching “the virus”, from the kids, the governor has mandated this. And they even believe this shit as the teachers’ own kids run around at home & on the bus maskless, but the mean virus is just waiting as soon as they enter the school. For smart people, they sure don’t follow the science.
Then, they had this play for the community, everyone, except kids, were maskless, & had to perform, with masks on, OUTSIDE, with strong trade winds blowing. SMH! Then, the seniors, had their first prom in 2 years, outside at a nice resort area. It was reported that 6, yes 6 of them tested positive. Who the F—k cares? Were they hospitalized? Were they symptomatic? The government will continue to strike fear for as long as they can. It’s pathetic.
Then, news flash this week. The island of Kauai has decided to go back to the masks for the whole island, because there was a “small” increase in positive cases. No one hospitalized, but they want to control. I predict Oahu will be the next island to fall, followed by Maui (they have more California rejects), so slower to follow course. Lastly, the Big island, more rebels with common sense here.
Inflation has taken a heavy toll in Hawaii, where residences are stacking 3-4 family groups up in a home. Just no place to rent, and if you do find something, it is $3000+/month. Cost of average 3bd/2bath entry homes, now start at $1.1 million, that’s if you can beat out the Californians that buy sight unseen. Apparently they want to get out of California badly. So many families homeless & displaced. We need new home starts badly, but guess what I found out. The federal & state government own 65% of all the land, and they could certainly open up some, but won’t. The Kameamea schools own 30%, but won’t help out their own kind. Some big cops private investors, maybe 3%, saving for hotels, and just a measly 2% left for homes on the island. The government ownership is probably pretty standard all over the U.S. I’m guessing.
Speaking of inflation, 1 gal of REG at Costco is $5.50/gal, waiting in long lines, like in the ‘70s. If you go to a regular station, it is well over $7. Doesn’t have to be this way, But Hawaii got its gas from Russia, Biden took care of that, without finding a solution, of which there is. The temporary 1921 Jones Act could remedy that, so that we could buy gas from Indonesia, which is closer, but Biden wants all to suffer, and the unions seem to back that up.
Still, no workers here, rather, no one wants to work. They are still being paid a type of stipend out of Covid money, so, why work when you have sun & surf. Electricians/plumbers 6 months out. Been trying to finish an Ohana since last July, that coupled with supply chain crisis. Hospital bugging me when I will have it done. THEY HAVE NURSES READY TO TRAVEL HERE. But we found out just about 10 days ago, that human trafficking and indentured servants are alive and well, a growing $$ adventure for the bad people. They have been flying people from the southern border to Kona. They make them do hard labor, building heavy rock walls, they provide a place to house them, but I can only imagine what that looks like, as there are just NO rentals to be had. Bet they set up tents for them. They of course pay them very minimally, because they have to pay off their airplane ticket. How do I know this? My neighbor behind me has them working building a wall. He didn’t even know the full background of this business till he started talking to the workers, otherwise he wouldn’t have hired them. But- they do a damn good job.
Shelves go half empty. You can make a grocery list, and only come out with 1/2 of your list. One week, no cat food, next week, its the dog food, TP, and formula has been out for quite a long time. Don’t know what it took so long to make national headlined. Probably, because Hawaii doesn’t have enough count worthy votes to do anything about it.
So, paradise is not so paradise, unless you are land locked at your resort, then you would never know. I hope to be back by September, have to see the projects thru. Have a good summer Common Sense people.
These stories after more stories NEVER hit the Netflix, never get the airtime on legacy and MSM news. There are no huge debates or townhalls set up to fight this sort of theft on a very grand scale. This is the facts of life, and the facts like these are going to get worse and worse, yet, the concept is the frog on the lukewarm water, with the burner barely even on, until, a day later, boiling water, floating dead frog (frogs actually do get out before the water gets too hot, but you know humans and their ability to put every rotten human trait onto an animal — Dirty as a dog.

ACADEMIA: “Ingestion of Cyanogens from Cassava Generates Disinfectant Hypothiocyanite That May Decrease theTransmissibility of SARS-CoV-2”
By Jonathan Kaunitz, Greater Los Angeles VA Healthcare SystemAngela Leung, Greater Los Angeles VA Healthcare SystemYasutada Akiba, Greater Los Angeles VA Healthcare System
Introduction: The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is currently responsible for over 3.4 million deaths worldwide. Although vaccines have been remarkably effective in curbing the spread of the disease, the recent spike in India underscores the increased susceptibility of populations of countries with limited access to healthcare and uneven public health measures. Notable exceptions to this observation are the countries in Western and sub-Saharan Africa,where COVID deaths rates remain low despite these countries being ravaged in the past and present by pandemics such as cholera and Ebola.In this perspective, we develop the novel testable hypothesis that the apparent protection of these African populations from COVID-19 infection may stem from a diet enrichedin cyanogenic glucosides primarily from cassava which yields thiocyanate anion (SCN-).We support this hypothesis by detailing its biologic plausibility and by demonstrating that a separate population with documented high SCN- exposure, chronic smokers, are also protected from infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Since exogenous SCN- is safe and inexpensive in modest doses, we propose that dietary supplementation with SCN- may be an inexpensive and effective means to control viral pan-demics, in particular in the developing world.

And, the big story of the decade, EDC’s, and kforever chemicals: Shanna H. Swan, Ph.D., is one of the world’s leading environmental and reproductive epidemiologists and a professor of environmental medicine and public health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. An award-winning scientist, her work examines the impact of environmental exposures, including chemicals such as phthalates and Bisphenol A, on men’s and women’s reproductive health and the neurodevelopment of children. Please check out Dr. Swan’s new book, “Count Down” – How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race.”
Classically the EDCs bind to the androgen or estrogen receptor triggering an agonist or antagonist action. These in turn lead to increased or decreased gene expression of sex-specific genes.
In addition, EDCs act on steroidogenic enzymes and the metabolism of hormones, for example, inhibit the activity of 5-α reductase, which is the most important enzyme in the production of dihydrotestosterone and hence the regulation of the masculinization of the external genitalia and the prostate.
Furthermore, P450 enzymes in the liver that metabolize steroid hormones may be affected. In animal models EDCs affect hormone receptor levels. In addition to the effect on hormone action, animal experiments suggest that EDCs may also result in epigenetic changes and miRNA levels.
Swan suspects EDCs are a primary culprit in infertility, in part because we’re surrounded by them every day of our lives. We’re exposed to them through our food, water, personal care products, furniture, building materials, plastics and much more.
We can yammer on and on about these perversions — money, entertainment, politics, war — but the world is going to shit in a sludge basket. Forget about the warming ice caps. We are talkiing about major changes in how humans, mammals, other animals, develop. Or maldevelop. A new documentary uncovers the astonishing science fraud being carried out by the EPA to legalize the mass pollution of America’s farm lands, school playgrounds and city parks with heavily contaminated industrial waste and human sewage.
But we have trillion$ for Ukraine, for EU saber rattling, for all of that, now, as these human stains, globally, so called leaders, are not in this for US, the 80 Percent, but only for them, the point zero zero one percent and their colonels and captains and enforcers. Sperm counts cut in half in thrity years? Chemicals and lifestyles, and the inflammatory disease that is dog eat dog capitalism. Yet we have millions of armchair warriors writing about Ukraine, about who is winning, if Russia should or should not have carried through on their special military operation. Well well well. Money money money for THEM, but not for US.
In a case of life imitating art, Zelensky ended up winning the real-world Ukrainian presidency just three-and-a-half years after the show’s launch, with more than 73 percent of the vote.
Zelensky capitalized on widespread public anger at corruption, but his 2019 campaign was dogged by doubts over his anti-graft bona fides, given that his campaign was boosted by media belonging to Kolomoisky — who is accused of stealing US$5.5 billion from his own bank and funneling it offshore in concert with his partner, Hennadiy Boholiubov.
In the heat of the campaign, a political ally of incumbent President Petro Poroshenko published a chart on Facebook purporting to show that Zelensky and his television production partners were beneficiaries of a web of offshore firms that allegedly received $41 million in funds from Kolomoisky’s Privatbank.
Even as Zelensky pushes his anti-oligarch campaign, some continue to doubt his sincerity. Among them is Ruslan Ryaboshapka, who was picked by Zelensky as the country’s top prosecutor in 2019, but ousted from the role in early 2020. He told OCCRP he believes this was due to pressure from the oligarch Kolomoisky.
“A president shouldn’t own offshore companies. In general offshore companies are bad, whether they’re owned by a president or not,” Ryaboshapka said.
He called moving money offshore “an old tradition” in Ukraine, because the country was perceived as a dangerous place with “no rule of law.” But still, the use of such companies today raises red flags of “tax evasion or the legalization of dirty money,” he said.
“That’s the essence of offshore companies.”
So, we get these Jewish nightmares, and then the rest of us get, well, biological nukes, daily, every part of our lives, from clothes to calories ingested to calories used to move us and heat us and cool us. So is it difficult to understand how Ukraine Nazis and then ZioLenskey and Company, they are involved in killing people in eastern Ukraine? Is it difficult to understand the bioweapons labs in Ukraine? Hunter Biden in Ukraine? Oh, the evil of these people.
Today, half-mast for a milion Amerikkkans who have died of Covid-19 related compliations?
American flags were lowered to half-staff on Thursday to mark the coming milestone of one million U.S. coronavirus deaths
This is it for unified, universal, affordable preventable and hands on medicine? A flag, a pole, a dome?
The World Health Organization, ever that herald of dark news, has offered a revised assessment across of the SARS-CoV-2 death toll associated either directly or indirectly with the pandemic. Between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2021, the global health body suggests that the mortality figure is closer to 14.9 million, with a range of 13.3 million to 16.6 million.
The number considers excess mortality, the figure reached after accounting for the difference between the number of deaths that have occurred, and the number expected in the absence of the pandemic. It also accounts for deaths occasioned directly by COVID-19, or indirectly (for instance, the pandemic’s disruption of society and health systems).
The impact, as expected, has been disproportionate in terms of which countries have suffered more. Of the excess deaths, 68% were concentrated in 10 countries – Brazil, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Peru, Russia, South Africa, Turkey, and the United States. Middle-income countries accounted for 81% of excess deaths; high-income countries, for 15%, and low-income countries, 4%.
The United States, if only for being ascendant in terms of power, wealth, and incompetence in dealing with the virus, finds itself in the undistinguished position of having lost a million people. “Today,” remarked President Joe Biden, “we mark a tragic milestone here in the United States, one million COVID deaths, one million empty chairs around the family dinner table, each irreplaceable, irreplaceable losses, each leaving behind a family, a community forever changed because of this pandemic.” (source)
You don’t need old episodes of F-Troop to let you know how rotten a country is that utilizes death machines, mercenaries in uniform, entire budgets for bullets and bombs to annilihate people.
We are talking about total integration of the war machine, war mentality, war budgeting, war propaganda, war mentality, war products/by-products into American, that is, AmeriKKKan, culture and society.
NFL or NCAA:
There is a short piece over at MintPress News on the great female-mother led General Dynamics. The piece is about how GD is in total control of the narrative, and even has ways to shunt the true debates around just how much taxpayer money goes to these Angels and Devils of Death.
“General Dynamics recently rejected a human rights proposal on the grounds that it would “undermine shareholder value and more notably, “embed radical skepticism toward U.S. foreign policy.” by Shea Leibow. Here, a pulled quote from Leibow:
That is why now is a critical time to focus on pulling money away from these weapon-manufacturing corporate behemoths. Divesting money from weapons manufacturers, whether that is through divesting your church, university, or city budget, not only pulls financial resources from these death-dealing corporations but also demonstrates to them that there are dissenting communities across the U.S. who do not believe their lies about “just doing their jobs.” Pushing your Congressional representative to divest from war by refusing to take campaign contributions from weapons manufacturers is another powerful way to disrupt weapon manufacturers’ manipulation of U.S. policy for their own profit.
I then followed up in the comments section, since Mint Press News seems to be on the outs, censored to death, and PayPal crushed. I wake up with coffee, orange, and a couple of hours of slamming Big Brother and the Agnotologists. Here, comments from me, as pablosharkman:
Divesting from military industrial complex, these weapons manufacturers, these offensive military billion-dollar publicly traded outfits means the end of capitalism. The “complex” is a many rooted toxic tree. Any college that runs an engineering department, runs a drone program, runs communications classes, that runs arts and sciences and liberal arts, all of it, that college has blood on its hands, of course. Teaching young people to go out there and get good paying jobs, well, that’s the cost of killing.
They learn how to game the world, with lies, legal gymnastics, propaganda, business tricks. All those football fields and game days with US military units bringing up the flag. All those ROTC programs. All the junk in video games that teach younger and younger folk to shoot-shoot-shoot. All the investment portfolios that are tied to seemingly green and innocuous companies, like battery manufacturing. One side of the company makes batters for cardic pacemakers, but the real profits comes from batteries in guided missiles and other such maiming and murdering junk.
Then, we have all these Woke companies hiring on women, he-she-they pronoun holders, all the daycare centers and bring a dog to work fun and games. Again, welfare for the rich, for the companies, and savagery for the 80 percent.
Remember, it is not the point zero-zero one percent. It is the 19.999 percent of Americans who are the Eichmann’s, the woke abusers and murder incorporated soldiers and captains and colonels making a killing off of death.
Militaries need cities to run, so, every A/C unit, every roll of toilet paper, every floor of a hospital, every hamburger fried, every school room staffed, well, you get it. The military, the tech companies, the surveillance state, the entire mess of USA Capitalism are enbedded in every breath every single American takes.
Copper, coal, colbalt, cotton, carbs, crime, colleges — that is the system, so pulling any one part from the whole would be like taking one cardiac artery out of old Uncle Joe’s heart. He ain’t gonna live!
And, then following up my follow up, I look at the systems of oppression, the systems that keep those planes, jets, helicopters and drones afloat:
And, just coursing through this P.O.S. outfit’s bizarre writing style and focus points,
Annals of War: May 16, 2022 Issue, New Yorker — “The Turkish Drone That Changed the Nature of Warfare. The Bayraktar TB2 has brought precision air-strike capabilities to Ukraine and other countries. It’s also a diplomatic tool, enabling Turkey’s rise.” By Stephen Witt
You will see how the systems of education, religion, money, power, inventiveness, war, fun and game are all wrapped up to get us here. Yes, Turkey, and Islam. But, remember, many of the war manufacturers, the diode and drone behemoths, they are in the land of apartheid, Israel.
Quoting here:
…I spoke with Bayraktar in March, via video. He was in Istanbul, at the headquarters of his company, Baykar Technologies, which employs more than two thousand people. When I asked him about the use of his drones in Ukraine, he told me, “They’re doing what they’re supposed to do—taking out some of the most advanced air-defense systems and armored vehicles in the world.” Bayraktar, who is forty-two years old, has a widow’s peak, soft eyes, and a slightly off-center nose. He was flanked by scale models of new drones, mounted on clear plastic stands, which he displayed to me with the unconcealed pride of an aviation geek. “Any U.A.V. built today to fly, I pilot it myself, because I, like, love it,” he told me. Bayraktar, who has more than two million Twitter followers, uses his account to promote youth-education initiatives, celebrate Turkish martyrs, and post pictures of new aircraft designs. “Some people here consider him like Elon Musk,” Federico Donelli, an international-relations researcher at the University of Genoa, told me.
In May, 2016, Bayraktar married Sümeyye Erdoğan, the youngest daughter of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Turkey’s President. Erdoğan is the leader of a political Islamist movement that, the analyst Svante Cornell has written, wishes “to build a powerful, industrialized Turkey that serves as the natural leader of the Muslim world.” Turkey’s arms industry has grown tenfold in the past twenty years, and most of the country’s military equipment is now manufactured locally. “The Bayraktars, and particularly the TB2s, have turned into the flagship of the Turkish defense industry,” Alper Coşkun, a former Turkish diplomat, told me….

Then, of course, the Jews, working with the CryptoChristians: How would Moses bomb? What Would Jesus Invest In?
“How Israel became a leader in drone technology: Israel did what it generally does best – to innovate using existing technology to solve a problem that Israel faces.”
Israel’s drone pioneers not only built the IAI Scout, which was active in 1982 and after, they had also developed the Tadiran Mastiff in the 1970s. IAI and Tadiran would work together in the 1980s when the US took interest in Israeli drones. Eventually Israel’s innovations led to the development of the AAI RQ-2 Pioneer, which was introduced in 1986 and developed through American and Israeli cooperation between AAI and IAI’s Malat or “drone” division. These technological innovations would help the US in the 1991 Gulf War.
Drones wouldn’t find their full calling until 2001 when one of the first drone strikes would be carried out by the US General Atomics MQ-1 Predator. The innovations that led to the Predator also had Israeli origins in Abraham Kerem, an aeronautical engineer born in Iraq who moved to Israel as a teenager and eventually founded a company in the US. Using experience gained as a designed for the Israel Air Force, he designed Amber, a drone forerunner of the Predator.
If Israel was there at the beginning of the drone revolution, like the Wright brothers, it is also there at the cutting edge of the current wave of drone wars. The country became a “superpower” in UAVs. Globes said in 2011: “At a base in central Israel, an even more advanced UAV is in operation. It is the cutting edge in IDF unmanned vehicles, capable of reaching any place that the Israeli intelligence community might want to go. Even Iran.” That was eight years ago. Iran is thinking the same thing. In March 2019 it launched dozens of drones during an exercise titled “toward Jerusalem 1.” An Iranian drone even penetrated Israeli airspace in February 2018. In response, Israel struck the T-4 base the drone came from and other areas in Syria.

So, ALL the railing against the system (sic) gets us just more digital ink, but no change. And to completely depress my readers, take a look at the Fourth Industrial Revolution and Education:
“How Education International is Pushing Teachers’ Unions into the 4th Industrial Revolution/ Why have teachers’ unions been pushing ed-tech that is driving schools into the 4IR?
Look no further than Education International, a global federation tied to UNESCO & the WEF that dominates most teachers’ unions in the US and beyond.”
This is the brave new world these college grads and investment funds and globalists are creating in their sleep. And the unions? The leadership? They are all in on it.
….To put it all together, Fred Van Leeuwen, who is Education International’s General Secretary Emeritus, and Jelmer Evers, who is an activist member of EI, have been organizing unionized teachers in coordination with the public-private world governance stratagems of UNESCO, the WEF, and Big Tech. These efforts are aimed at micromanaging technocratic schooling in a transhumanist Fourth Industrial Revolution that is superintended by a Global Union Federation of educators bundled together under the umbrella of Education International. Of course, the transhumanist bent of EI’s UNESCO-WEF collaborations can be traced back to the eugenic histories of UNESCO and the World Economic Forum. Indeed, the first Director-General of UNESCO, Julian Huxley, coined the concept of transhumanism as the next phase of eugenics after he served as the President of the British Eugenics Society. Similarly, the World Economic Forum, which has advocated for Malthusian-eugenic population control since the WEF’s inception, was founded by transhumanist Klaus Schwab, whose family tree has roots connected to the eugenic regime of Adolph Hitler. (For a deep dive into the Schwab family’s Nazi-eugenic legacy, read Johnny Vedmore’s “Schwab Family Values”)…..
Remember, these drone folk, these military mercenaries, these grand schemers of the AI-VR-Robotic-UAV war games come from USA colleges, many of which are state college, not just the rotten MIT’s of the world. These people go to them, maybe take a philosophy course, or political science course, or see political actions on campus, but in the end, it is all about the billions. And, with the Zoomification of Education (sic), there will be no on-campus rallies, romps, rowdy students doing any street theater or big protests. That’s exactly the point in nanny nation. It’s all going to be at home, with old fido at your feet while wearing the Marvel comic book PJs and sipping the sugar-free Pepsi:
Fuck teachers. Fuck debate. Fuck liberal arts. Fuck a broad swath of exposure to a broad range of ideas. Fuck people. Fuck bricks and mortar. This world will be in an 8 by 10 room, with all the digital implants, the AI and AR and VR. You can be living in the fucking Taj Mahal. With a click of a switch. And, alas, it’s also about sending a Tweet via a brain implant. And, this is not some Phillip Dick book. This is now.
And this is science. Follow the science. Like all things in the world, the space programs, the pharmacy programs, the ag programs, the education programs, the law programs, the sociology programs, the psychology programs, the communication programs, the art programs, the writing programs, the anthropology programs, the chemistry programs, and on and on (just think of all the departments on a big campus) they are all connected to and embedded with the military machine that is the United States of Arms. All of them are in the service of the military industrial complex in some way or form. Looking at an innovation with water shortage mitigation, using drones and satellites to assess the drought, well, that will be used by the various Satans of the world for economic, food, water, bomb blasting warfare. And, do not be fooled. It is a small elite of folk doing the messing around on a large scale. That elite’s backgrounds and upbringings and politics and family tied and religious indoctrination, all of it, very important to understand and detail out.
Interesting story here, but first the image,
A new study shows that young women with a Jewish upbringing are 23 percentage points more likely to earn a bachelor’s degree than non-Jewish young women of similar socioeconomic status. Jewish women also attend more selective universities than women from other religions in the United States.
Ahh, the implications are enormous. Truly tribal. Truly connected to the families, especially now, who are rally connected. The Jewish connections are immense, for such a minority among minorities. And, I know for a fact, that the study above will not look at what becomes of these great performing women. Will they team up with a spouse later in life? And, that spouse . . . hmmm . . . so you are a superstar female nonprofit ED, but you end up with, a superstar MBA or tax lawyer.? You get it. What are their values when it comes to empire, the apartheid mothership Israel, war, investing, and, domination? The study (aove) looks at a happiness index for them, as if balancing high octane education and machinations with sousehood and motherhood is really a question.
It’s always amazing to get books, reports, education platforms, documentaries, white papers, et al given/delivered by Jewish women and men about, well, all things not white or Jewish. You know, millions of “things” about Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, the Poor White Trash, Muslims, Christians, et al, those are delivered to us, even those of us in post graduate land, by a chosen few. The power of the brain. The power of the Jewish minority. What are the implications of an elite coming from elites in their bubble of elites giving the world their two cents and their massive control systems?
Back to the Turk:
Özdemir set out to secure government support for Selçuk’s drones. Özdemir was friendly with Necmettin Erbakan, an Islamic nationalist and a vitriolic critic of Western culture. Turkey had been a secular republic since the nineteen-twenties, but Erbakan, a professor of mechanical engineering, believed that by investing in industry and grooming technological talent the country could become a prosperous Islamic nation. In 1996, Erbakan had been elected Turkey’s Prime Minister, but he resigned from the post under pressure from the armed forces, and was banned from politics for threatening to violate Turkey’s constitutional separation of religion and the state. (Erbakan, who had developed connections with the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, blamed his ouster on “Zionists.”)
Bayraktar briefed Erbakan on his work, and by the mid-two-thousands Bayraktar was spending his school breaks embedded with the Turkish military. The Bayraktar family also had ties to Erbakan’s protégé, Erdoğan, who was elected Prime Minister in 2002. Bayraktar’s father had been an adviser to Erdoğan when he was a local politician in Istanbul, and Bayraktar recalled Erdoğan visiting the family house.
Bayraktar’s first drone, the hand-launched Mini U.A.V., weighed about twenty pounds. In early tests, it flew about ten feet, but Bayraktar refined the design, and soon the Mini could stay aloft for more than an hour. Bayraktar tested it in the snowy mountains of southeastern Anatolia, surveilling the armed rebels of the P.K.K., a Kurdish separatist movement. Feron recalled his astonishment when he contacted Bayraktar in the mountains. “He has no hesitation to go to the front lines, to really the worst conditions that the Turkish military can go into, and basically be with them, and live with them, and learn directly from the user,” he said. Bayraktar told me he prefers to field-test a drone in an active combat theatre. “It needs to be battle-hardened and robust,” he said. “If this doesn’t work at ten-thousand-feet elevation, at minus-thirty-degrees temperature, then this is just another item that you have to carry in your backpack.”
Bayraktar began developing a larger drone. In 2014, he débuted a prototype of the TB2, a propeller-driven fixed-wing aircraft large enough to carry munitions. That year, Erdoğan, who was facing term limits as Prime Minister, won the Presidential election. A popular referendum had given him control of the courts as well, and he began using his powers to prosecute political enemies. “They arrested not only a quarter of active-duty admirals and generals but also many of Erdoğan’s civil-society opponents,” Soner Cagaptay, who has written four biographies of Erdoğan, told me. Bayraktar dedicated his prototype to the memory of Erdoğan’s mentor, Erbakan. “He gave all his life’s work to changing the culture,” Bayraktar said. (In his posthumously published memoirs, Erbakan asserted that, for the past four hundred years, the world has secretly been governed by a coalition of Jews and Freemasons.)
Oh, come on, that bold last few words are not so unusual, now, and will these be picked out of Word Press as antisemitic, and, alas, will the algorithm either black the words out like all those trillions of pages of government documents, or will the site be hacked, or closed, or . . . . ?
