KATM —

KATM:

Trump says the US military ⁠strike targeting ​fighters in ‍Nigeria was originally supposed to take ‍place on Wednesday, ⁠but he ordered it delayed by a day.

“They were going to ​do ‌it earlier,” Trump told Politico in an interview. “And I ‌said, ‘nope, let’s give ‌a Christmas present.’ … ⁠They didn’t think that was coming, but ‌we hit them hard. Every camp got ‍decimated.”

The US bombings followed a threat last month by Trump to attack Nigeria with “guns-a-blazing” if the country’s government did not curb attacks on Christians.

Northwestern Nigeria — including Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina, and parts of Kaduna State — is suffering a complex security crisis, plagued by armed criminal groups, herder-farmer disputes, and Islamist militants including Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP/ISIS) and Boko Haram. Both Christians and Muslims have been attacked.

Since emerging in Borno State in 2009, Boko Haram has waged war on the Nigerian state — which it regards as apostate — not against any particular religious group. In fact, the majority of its victims have been Muslims.

“According to the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project, more Muslims than Christians have been targeted in recent years,” Chloe Atkinson recently wrote for Common Dreams. “Boko Haram has massacred worshipers in mosques, torched markets in Muslim-majority areas, and threatened their own coreligionists.”

“It is true that Christian communities in the north-central regions have suffered unimaginable horrors as raids have left villages in ashes, children murdered in their beds, and churches reduced to rubble,” she said. “The April massacre in Zike and the June bloodbath in Yelwata are prime examples of the atrocities taking place in Nigeria.”

“The crisis in Nigeria is not a holy war against Christianity,” Atkinson continued. “Instead, it’s a devastating cocktail of poverty, climate-driven land disputes, and radical ideologies that prey on everyone and not just any distinct group.”

“By framing Nigeria’s conflict as an existential threat to Christians alone, Trump is not shining a spotlight on the victims,” she added. “Instead, he is weaponizing right-wing conspiracy theories to stoke Islamophobia, the same toxic playbook he used to fuel his ban on Muslims, and which left refugee families shattered at America’s borders.”

Former libertarian US Congressman Justin Amash (R-Mich.) noted on X that “there’s no authority for strikes on terrorists in Nigeria or anywhere on Earth,” adding that the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) — which was approved by every member of Congress except then-Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) — “is only for the perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks.”

“The War Powers Resolution doesn’t grant any authority beyond the Constitution,” Amash added. “Offensive military actions need congressional approval. The Framers of the Constitution divided war powers to protect the American people from war-eager executives. Whether the United States should engage in conflicts across the globe is a decision for the people’s representatives in Congress, not the president.”

China Sanctions U.S. Defense Companies Northrop Grumman, Boeing, Anduril

China’s government sanctioned 20 U.S. companies and 10 individual executives in the defense sector as retaliation for a large-scale arms sale to Taiwan.

Shares of defense companies rose this year, in the aftermath of Trump’s return to the White House and escalating geopolitical tensions. Of the companies included in China’s sanctions list Northrop Grumman is up 25% in 2025, Leidos 30%, L3 Harris 40%, and the more service-oriented VSE rose close to 90%.

Some of the top performing stocks of the year are major military contractors from the U.S. and its allies.

Meanwhile, the German weapons manufacturer Rheinmetall (RNMBY) is up around 185% and Elbit (ESLT), Israeli defense company specializing in drones, is up 125% year to date.

So, a so-called cuntry, Israel, is the first? Beware, fucking Somalia, beware. The Jews will eat you for lunch: Israel has become the first country to recognise Somaliland as a sovereign state, a breakthrough in its quest for international recognition since it declared independence from Somalia 34 years ago.

The Israeli foreign minister, Gideon Sa’ar, announced on Friday that Israel and Somaliland had signed an agreement establishing full diplomatic relations, which would include the opening of embassies and the appointment of ambassadors.

The recognition is a historic moment for Somaliland, which declared its independence from Somalia in 1991 but until now had failed to be recognised by any UN member states. Somaliland controls the north-west tip of Somalia, where it operates a de facto state, and is bordered by Djibouti to the north-west and Ethiopia to the west and south.

Kennedy Center Christmas Eve jazz concert canceled after Trump name added to building

Chuck Redd, who has toured with Dizzy Gillespie and Ray Brown, said he called off the event he has presided over since 2006 after hearing of the building’s name change.

“When I saw the name change on the Kennedy Center website and then hours later on the building, I chose to cancel our concert,” Redd told The Associated Press in an email Wednesday. Redd, a drummer and vibraphone player who has toured with everyone from Dizzy Gillespie to Ray Brown, has been presiding over holiday “Jazz Jams” at the Kennedy Center since 2006, succeeding bassist William “Keter” Betts.

Shit, the fucking head honchos of CatholiLandia (Gestapo) are on the case:

The Archbishop of Boston will meet with a Dedham priest after the holidays to discuss a controversial “ICE was here” nativity scene.

The display outside St. Susanna’s Parish went up shortly after Thanksgiving. Jesus, Mary and Joseph are missing from the traditional nativity, with the suggestion being that they were detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

Archbishop Richard Henning told The Boston Globe on Wednesday that he has scheduled the meeting with the church’s priest, Father Stephen Josoma. A spokesman for the Archdiocese confirmed to WBZ-TV it will happen sometime in January.

“My first thing will be just to hear him out and listen,” Henning told the newspaper. “He was the one that asked to speak with me. I’d like to hear him first.”

St. Susanna’s Parish has a history of making statements with its nativity displays, including one in 2018 that depicted baby Jesus in a cage. Josoma said earlier this month that “our hope was to create dialogue around contemporary life.”

They defended the parish Nativity as “faithful to the Gospel and Catholic teaching” and a “prophetic reflection that challenges the faithful to find new paths to bring the Good News announced that first Christmas to all of God’s people.”

They also pointed out that the Vatican itself displays different themed Nativity scenes each year highlighting social issues to contemporary life.

“Some of these have also been controversial (like one focused on the plight of refugees in 2016) all moving beyond static traditional figures and designed to evoke emotion and dialogue,” the statement said, adding that it was the parish’s hope to similarly evoke dialogue around an issue that is at the heart of contemporary life.

“That some do not agree with our message does not render our display sacrilegious or is the cause of any ‘scandal’ to the faithful,” the statement said.

One species at a TIME: This is how fucked up Homo Consumopethicus and Erectile Dysfunction IS . . .

There are animals that are especially charming, like the Irrawaddy dolphin, which is considered the sweetest and most enigmatic animal in the world. And also one of the most endangered. In Southeast Asia, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Indonesia, they have lived alongside fishermen for years, cooperating with them, but now there are threats that put their survival at risk.

Fishermen did not go alone to the river

In places like the Ayeyarwady River in Myanmar, fishing begins with a simple gesture: the fishermen gently tap the side of the boat and wait. A few minutes later, they appear, the most beautiful dolphins in the world.

The dolphins push schools of fish toward the nets and make the catch easier, and they also take advantage of the fish that lag behind to feed. No one forces anyone, it is true cooperation, learned and passed from mothers to calves like another tradition of the river. Truly incredible.

Unprecedented

This type of collaboration is extremely rare in nature, because it is not only instinct but social learning, memory, and above all something very important in any relationship: mutual trust.

Some dolphins even developed their own signals to communicate with their fishermen. The most famous was Gotama, who became a local legend. His story is still told along the riverbanks.

A cultural symbol

For riverside communities, this dolphin is part of the soul of the place. In some legends they are said to be children transformed. In others, protective spirits of the river. That respect has allowed decades of coexistence, a balance, a friendship.

A dolphin full of peculiarities

In addition to helping with fishing, the Irrawaddy dolphin has unique behaviors. Some spit jets of water to group fish. Others use movements that scientists believe serve to communicate or even to court, and they are very special because they can live in both fresh and salt water. That is, they are adaptable, intelligent, and yet very vulnerable animals.

On the edge of the abyss

In rivers such as the Mekong, the Mahakam, or the Ayeyarwady, many populations are far below the endangered threshold. Nearly invisible gillnets, pollution, dams, river traffic, illegal fishing: everything is causing this friend to slowly disappear, and scientists fear it could end up like the Yangtze dolphin or the vaquita marina, animals that are extinct.

Study Links Permian Blowouts With Wastewater Injection

Fluids traveled 12 miles underground before reaching an abandoned oil well and shooting to the surface. It’s the first scientific proof of a phenomenon local landowners have long warned was occurring.

Fracking wastewater, injected underground for permanent disposal, traveled 12 miles through geological faults before bursting to the surface through a previously plugged West Texas oil well in 2022, according to a new study from Southern Methodist University.

It’s the first study to draw specific links between wastewater injection and recent blowouts in the Permian Basin, the nation’s top producing oil field, where old oil wells have lately begun to spray salty water.

It raises concerns about the possibility of widespread groundwater contamination in West Texas and increases the urgency for oil producers to find alternative outlets for the millions of gallons of toxic wastewater that come from Permian Basin oil wells every day.

“We established a significant link between wastewater injection and oil well blowouts in the Permian Basin,” wrote the authors of the study, funded in part by NASA and published last month in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. The finding suggests “a potential for more blowouts in the near future,” it said.

Israel’s high-tech sector is navigating a turning point, according to a new report by Vintage Investment Partners, presented by co-managing partner Asaf Horesh, highlighting trends in venture capital funding, valuations, and mergers and acquisitions over the past year. The analysis paints a picture of an ecosystem increasingly defined by concentrated capital flows, soaring valuations, and strong investor appetite for AI and cybersecurity startups.

The report, unveiled at Israel’s eighth annual “Trends & Forecasts” conference, convened by pre-Seed fund Fusion and law firm Pearl Cohen, finds that venture capital investment is consolidating around a smaller number of funds and companies. In the U.S., fundraising activity has slowed markedly: $61 billion is expected to be raised by 376 funds in 2025, down from 832 funds last year. The median time to close a fund has lengthened to 18 months…

Hanukkah (or Chanukah) is an eight-day Jewish festival of lights celebrating the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem after the Maccabean Revolt, marked by the miracle of a small oil supply lasting eight days. Celebrated with nightly menorah lighting, special foods fried in oil (like latkes and sufganiyot), dreidel games, and gifts, it symbolizes light triumphing over darkness and religious freedom, typically falling in November or December.

The new Superman movie, which opened July 11, stars David Corenswet, whose Jewish background has been something of a hot topic since his casting was announced back in June, 2023.

The Jewish press covered it extensively, as did several mainstream outlets like Rolling Stone and CNN. They wondered how Jewish Corenswet is (per JTA: paternally Jewish, from a family with strong generational ties to a reform shul, who married a Catholic in a ceremony co-officiated by a rabbi, and spoke at a Jewish Pride event), and whether that matters to the film.

The reason for this interest, for those not in the know, is that Superman is Jewish. Not the one on the page—he’s an alien from planet Krypton who was raised in Kansas. He’s canonically Christian, usually depicted as a nonpracticing Methodist or Protestant. The one in the real world—he’s a Jewish character.

Created by two Jewish teenagers, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the sons of immigrants from Eastern Europe, Superman was the very first superhero, the archetype, the urtext. He’s where superhero tropes like capes and tights and briefs worn as outer layer come from. He’s also the point source of core themes like secret identities, tireless pursuit of truth and justice and dedication to the community. This arguably makes the superhero genre a Jewish creation, too.

These origins, as well as the comic book industry’s heavily Jewish history and modern-day questions of Jewish representation, were the subject of a 2023 exhibit at the Center for Jewish History (of which AJHS is a partner), JewCE: The Jewish Comics Experience, as well as two conventions. The exhibition is travelling internationally through 2028, and has inspired an award-winning short documentary of the same name.

Corenswet’s Jewish heritage may not be important to the film, but the attention it’s gotten shows a meaningfulness. After 87 years, Superman being played by a Jewish actor is a homecoming of sorts.

He said Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) had “demonstrated by the misleading and partial way in which it summarised its application and its wilful, repeated failure to meet its disclosure obligations that its true and sole motive in seeking to prosecute RH is to have him cancelled. I have no doubt that the prosecution is abusive.”

In a judgment delivered at Westminster magistrates court on Tuesday, he said the CAA was “seeking to use the criminal justice system, in this case for improper reasons”.

Genocide Gere:

The idea did not originate in Mexico. Years earlier, Gere and his wife, Alejandra Silva, were staying on a remote beach in the Dominican Republic when a developer approached him, first for an autograph and then for his involvement in a project. Gere initially declined, but the question lingered. “He said, ‘If there was a situation you could imagine being involved in, what would it look like?’” Gere recalls.

The couple began sketching a hypothetical blueprint grounded in unspoiled land, deep integration with local communities, environmentally respectful architecture, and a model that could be replicated elsewhere. “You could imagine a utopian situation of a virgin beach, virgin land, and happy people,” Gere says. “A marriage of protecting the land and developing in such a way that the new owners would be benevolent and want to be part of the local community.” For two years, they researched everything from energy conservation to architectural models, speaking with experts around the world. Ultimately, that partnership did not align, and they walked away.

No late payments of Student Loans for Jew Gere: Trump administration will start to garnish wages for defaulted student loans

The Trump administration will begin to garnish wages from student loan borrowers who are in default next month, the Department of Education confirmed on Tuesday.

The big picture: The stepped-up collection effort follows several moves this year that will make things more difficult for holders of student loans.

• Those moves include ending a five-year repayment pause and the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act that will substantially reduce the number of repayment plans.

Driving the news: The Department of Education has said for months now that it will begin to forcibly seize pay from borrowers, and it’s set to begin the week of Jan. 7.

• The department will start to notify about 1,000 defaulted borrowers of plans to withhold some of their wages, a spokesperson told Axios in a statement.
• Notices will increase “in scale on a month-to-month basis,” the department said.

What they’re saying: “This Administration’s decision to garnish wages from defaulted student loan borrowers is cruel, unnecessary and irresponsible,” Persis Yu, deputy executive director of the advocacy group Protect Borrowers, said in a statement.

State of play: After a five-year penalty pause, the 5.3 million borrowers in default could now see their wages garnished if they don’t resume payments.

[Water treatment and landfill companies given chance to make case that EPA rules should not apply to them]

Do you smell that Jew Zelgin (EPA cunt) in the house? Republicans are attempting to exempt some major polluters from paying for Pfas “forever chemical” cleanup. If successful, it could mark a major setback in US effort to rein in Pfas pollution.

The Republican-led House energy and commerce committee recently held a hearing at which it invited representatives from the water treatment and landfill industries, among others, to make the case about why they should be exempted from rules that hold polluters financially accountable for the cleanup of two types of dangerous Pfas.

Water treatment plants and landfills are major polluters and represent critical points in the effort to curb Pfas water pollution nationwide. Utilities already have to remove hundreds of chemicals, so it is unclear why they are so opposed to removing two types of Pfas, said Scott Faber, vice-president of government affairs for the Environmental Working Group non-profit.

How many days before XMAS? 12 Days of F*ck Israel – Day 9 – September 2025

In January 2024 (four months into the ongoing genocide), Hamas issued a similar document under the same title, Our Narrative. That document listed seven reasons behind October 7:

1. Israeli Judaization plans for the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque
2. Israeli attempts to annex the entire West Bank and Jerusalem
3. The horrific treatment of Palestinian detainees
4. The 17-year blockade of the Gaza Strip
5. The unprecedented expansion of Jewish settlements in the West Bank
6. The precarious state of 7 million Palestinians in refugee camps
7. The failure of the international community in supporting the Palestinian cause

The latest document essentially recounts the same reasons for the Flood. However, more comprehensive in scope, this version addresses several additional dimensions of the operation and its wider implications, which were previously not explained at the institutional level by the leading Palestinian resistance faction.

“October 7, 2023, was no sudden event; it was another chapter in the ongoing struggle with the Israeli occupation,” the latest Hamas document explains. It adds:

The Al-Aqsa Flood operation is not a passing memory but the foundation of a historic, pivotal stage in the journey of our cause—a stage in which the Zionist narrative was exposed in its own strongholds across the world. The true nature of this enemy was laid bare before the peoples of humanity, it was placed in the dock of international courts, its defeat was proven possible, and Palestine advanced in the global battle for consciousness, heralding a change in the unjust environment that allowed this entity to grow through treachery and aggression.

Gilad Atzmon has created a firestorm of controversy with this examination of Jewish identity, so I read it with some trepidation.

In the end I found it an engaging read, simply written, about complex ideas. He refuses to hedge words, to compromise in order to create allies, and in some cases he seems to have gone over the top, intentionally provoking friends and enemies alike.

Atzmon grew up in Israel, the grandson of one of the radical founders of Israel. As a youth, his burgeoning fascination with the saxophone and jazz music led him to a different understanding of Zionism – something cemented by his experiences in the Israeli Defence Force.

Now a well known international jazz musician, his irrepressible, emotional style flows through this book.

Atzmon’s main target is Jewish exceptionalism, and he dissects the phenomenon using the tools of his education in philosophy. And while one suspects that Atzmon is more comfortable as a musician than as a philosopher, what he discovers is critical in understanding Jewish identity and the continuing evolution of Israel.

This book is directed primarily at Jews, but anyone interested in identity politics – or in any aspect of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict – will find it fascinating, if a little bit like watching someone smashing windows.

Gilad begins his book, The Wandering Who? with a brief story of his childhood and the tremendous influence of his grandfather on his adolescence. He writes “my grandfather was a charismatic, poetic, veteran zionist terrorist. A former prominent commander in the right-wing Irgun terrorist organization …” He writes about his attraction to jazz, his enlistment in the IDF (Israel Defense Force), and finally being sent to the first Lebanon war. He writes of his experience in Lebanon saying:

I studied the detainees. The looked very different to the Palestinians in Jerusalem. The ones I saw in Ansar were angry. They were not defeated, they were freedom fighters and they were numerous. As we continued past the barbed wire I continued gazing at the inmates, and arrived at an unbearable truth: I was walking on the other side, in Israeli military uniform. The place was a concentration camp. The inmates were the ‘Jews’, and I was nothing but a ‘Nazi’. It took me years to admit to myself that even the binary opposition Jew/Nazi was in itself as result of my Judeo-centric indoctrination.

This becomes the focal point of the transformation in Gilad’s young character. He writes “This was enough for me. I realized that my affair with the Israeli state and with Zionism was over.” In TheWandering Who?, Gilad divides Jews into three main categories: (1), those who follow Judaism; (2), those who regard themselves as human beings who happen to be of Jewish origin; and (3), those who put their Jewishness over and above all of their other traits. He regards the first two categories as harmless and innocent groups of people. Gilad is not so kind to the third category, however. This group is the primary focus in his book. He goes beyond the what to the how and why. Like a forensic scientist, he dissects them piece by piece historically, economically, philosophically, psychologically, and politically.

Zionism: A Global Network

Israel is not a colonial power and does not function as such. Colonial powers form an equilibrium with the indigenous peoples whose land they occupy. They have a parasitic nature that knows their survival is based on cooperation with and even helping the indigenous peoples, albeit on a very minimum level. We have seen this with the colonization of India by the British, Algeria and Morocco by the French, and South Africa by Afrikana apartheid. Israel’s function is more that of a cancer that consumes its host resources until there is nothing left, consequently destroying itself as a result. As Farid Esack, a South African scholar, writer and political activist, known for his opposition to apartheid, says in his open letter to the Palestinian people, “Israel is not an apartheid, it’s worse.”

Gilad also writes:

Zionism is not a colonial movement with an interest in Palestine, as some scholars suggest. Zionism is actually a global movement that is fuelled by a unique tribal solidarity of third category members.

Zionism: Realm of Hungry Ghosts and Animals

By referring to hungry ghosts and animals the intention is not to dehumanize Zionists but is a reference, from a Buddhist teaching, to two of the six realms of existence, describing states of mind that human beings inhabit at any given time. The hungry ghost realm applies to those who are never satisfied, perpetually discontented no matter what they have. The animal realm refers to those without reason, who function solely by instinct and are incapable of identification with others. As Gilad put it:

Also, considering the racist, expansionist Judeo-centric nature of the Jewish State, the Diaspora Jew finds himself or herself intrinsically associated with a bigoted, enthnocentric ideology and an endless list of crimes against humanity.

Israel is the only country recognized by the United Nations without any roots in the land it occupies. In 1947, the newly formed United Nations brought a group of people from the four corners of the planet and located them in one place and called this ‘chicken soup’ the State of Israel. But more was needed in order to legitimize this newly made nation. They needed national history, which they conveniently borrowed from the Bible. It did not matter how fictional the Biblical story of Jews are. As Gilad put it, “the Jewish people is a made-up notion consisting of an imaginary past with very little to back it up forensically, historically, or textually.”

Zionists’ claim of Jewish ancestral homeland is echoed by the Christian right and Christian Zionists primarily in the historically ignorant United States population, 20% of whom still believe the earth is flat, and 55% regard evolution as a hoax. Furthermore, the majority of people in the U.S. accept the Bible as a historical and factual book.

The magical and yet extremely subtle gift that Gilad Atzmon offers through his personal journeys in The Wandering Who? is the wisdom of disillusionment; the gift of not floating above water, but having to take an insightful dive into a shrouded underworld of appearances and disappearances. He disarms his critics beforehand by saying: “I am a proud self-hating Jew”.

Although Gilad discusses an extremely sensitive phenomenon in every sense of its meaning and implications, nothing is taboo for him; even those subjects which have been expressly forbidden to explore lest one be labeled anti-Semitic or worse. Gilad recalls: “While in the past an anti-Semite was someone who hates Jews, nowadays it is the other way around, an anti-Semite is someone the Jews hate.”

Further on he writes about Holocaust as a religion:

To a certain extent, the Holocaust religion signals the final Jewish departure from monotheism, for every Jew is potentially a little God or Goddess. Abe Foxman is the God of anti-defamation, Alan Greenspan the God of ‘good economy’, Milton Friedman is the God of ‘free markets’, Lord Goldsmith the God of the ‘green light’, Lord Levy the God of fundraising, Paul Wolfowitz the God of US ‘moral interventionism’. AIPAC (the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee) is the American Olympus, where mortals elected in the US come to beg for mercy, forgiveness for being Goyim and for a bit of cash.

Whether or not one agrees with Atzmon’s views, his book would propel Jews and non-Jews equally toward a better understanding of Israel, Zionism, and Jewish identity, beyond news headlines or state propaganda. This book is the odyssey of one man’s transformation within transformation, the end of which is yet to be written.

too bad Dickens isn’t around, cuz there would be no redemption NOW with these fucking neuroperverse, pedophiliac, Nazi-leaning, totalitarian-loving rich fucks

As December 25 approaches, the references to Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol become more frequent and it is used as a jumping off point for polemics right across the political spectrum. In 2012 Prince Charles hailed Dickens for using his creative genius to campaign for social justice. In the aftermath of the 2019 General Election The Telegraph counterposed Boris Johnson as the “opulent Ghost of Christmas Present” to Corbyn as “Scrooge”. Not wanting to be left out, Corbyn himself chose to “gift” Johnson a copy of the novella when asked during a televised debate what present he would give to the Tory leader. Zarah Sultana MP has continued the tradition this year by sending a copy to Jacob Rees Mogg in response to his claim that UNICEF were “playing politics” by funding breakfasts for children in South London. While Mogg is possibly best placed to be the modern day Scrooge, we need to delve into the story and its historical context a little bit more to understand it as a “political” work.

“Scrooge” (derived from “screw” & “gouge”) has become a byword for mean-spirited money grubbing bosses and certainly it is a story of dramatic transformation. Dickens was part of a generation of Victorian authors who saw their role as more than entertainers. Karl Marx described those authors as having “issued to the world more political and social truths than have been uttered by all the professional politicians, moralists and publicists put together.”

So, what motivated Dickens to write the Carol and should socialists claim it?

Charles Dickens was inspired to write the classic having been “perfectly stricken down” by an 1843 parliamentary report into child labor and the treatment of women in Victorian factories. Horrified at the conditions people were working under, he resolved to “strike the heaviest blow in my power” against the injustices he saw in the report. The struggles of Victorian working class children are foregrounded in the story when, at the end of “Stave 3”, two malnourished children appear from behind the robe of the “Ghost of Christmas Present”. They are named “Ignorance” and “Want”, to symbolize the two greatest ills dogging Victorian society.

Bob Crachit, Scrooge’s underpaid clerk, sees his children sent off to work to make ends meet and his youngest “Tiny Tim” faces an early death from a curable health condition. At the start of the novel Scrooge is completely unsympathetic to the plight of the poor and takes no responsibility for their situation despite hoarding wealth and preying on hardship as an unscrupulous money lender. He echoes Christian minister Thomas Malthus by suggesting the poor had better die and “decrease the surplus population”. The story is social criticism from start to finish and appeals for change.

Dickens highlights the personal effect this avaricious nature has on Scrooge as he is shunned by society, “solitary as an oyster”. By looking back into his past, Scrooge is forced to confront the trauma of losing his fiancé, sister and business partner and faces a bleak future. By the last chapter, he is “merry as a schoolboy” and like a “second father to Tiny Tim”, supposedly showing the positive effects of developing a charitable nature.

However, while it is certainly a story of personal transformation, it stops short of being a tale of societal change. In the final chapter, we still see the “Portly Gentlemen” out collecting money for the poor and there is a reliance on the benevolence of the wealthy, rather than the independent action of the working class to affect change. In fact the working class are presented as meek, mild and generally helpless. Bob Cratchit stops his wife chastising Scrooge when he toasts his boss on Christmas day and brushes aside years of ill treatment in a moment of seemingly Christian forgiveness. The burning anger at the gaping chasm between rich and poor is largely absent from the book, this is despite the fact that at the time the book was written, Chartism was emerging as the one of the first independent movements of the working class. Marx’s political collaborator, Friedrich Engels was more forthright in his The Conditions of the Working Class in England (written the year after The Carol was published) when he described how “these Londoners have had to sacrifice the best qualities of their human nature to bring to pass all the marvels of civilization which crowd their city.”

In his almost 45 years as a federal judge, John Coughenour has seen it all, including high-profile criminal trials that put his own safety at risk.

But this year, the 84-year-old senior district judge did something he hadn’t considered for a long time: He retrieved a gun he had stored at the federal courthouse in Seattle years ago and brought it back to his home in case he needed it to defend himself.

Coughenour is one of dozens of federal judges who have found themselves at the center of a political maelstrom as they have ruled against President Donald Trump or spoken up in defense of the judiciary. With Trump administration officials vilifying judges who rule against the government, a wave of violent threats and harassment has often followed.

Oh, those Dictators:

Oh, Dickens, you messed up on the Jews:

A Prostitute, a Thief, and Jesus Walk into a Tavern: The Tragedy of the Jewish Dickens

Jesus says the bottom level of purity in the Jewish tradition will enter the Kingdom before the top levels. There is something more important than external purity issues that qualifies one for entrance into the kingdom: Repentance from sin, a “pure heart” that can only be created by God, and the kind of honest acknowledgment of one’s need (as in the case of the tax collector and the Pharisee parable in Luke 18).

This is a continuation of the “first shall be last” theme that Jesus began teaching in Matthew 19-20. Those that expect to be a part in the Messiah’s program are not, and those that probably do not expect to enter the kingdom are included because of their humble faith.

That the tax collectors and prostitutes enter the kingdom at any time would shock his Jewish audience. But to enter before those who are ritually pure, students of the Law is an affront! For some commentators, the religious Jews have no chance at getting into the kingdom because of their current unbelief. But this is not how the verb is used throughout the rest of the New Testament, so likely what is meant here is that the Pharisee may yet enter the kingdom, but he will be at the “end of the line!”

Note the tense of the verb: tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom, a present tense verb. Not “will enter” but are currently participating in the kingdom. This is because Jesus is the king, and because he is present the Kingdom is present. Tax collectors are celebrating with Jesus and the Religious Leaders are not. Jesus is a friend of sinners, the Religious Leaders are not.

The reason these chief priests and elders will not enter the kingdom of God first is that they did not believe John as the prostitutes and tax collectors did. John taught the “way of righteousness” which seems to mean that he was teaching the people what the will of God was.

Ahh, and then the Semen Drip Little Big Men, Rubio, et al: The US State Department on Tuesday imposed visa sanctions on a former top European Union official and employees of organizations that combat disinformation for alleged censorship – sharply ratcheting up the Trump administration’s fight against European regulations that have impacted digital platforms, far-right politicians and Trump allies, including Elon Musk.

In a statement, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio accused the five sanctioned people of leading “organized efforts to coerce American platforms to censor, demonetize, and suppress American viewpoints they oppose.

Oh, no, more lumps of coal in our collective Xmas stockings: Proposed elimination of NCAR, the National Center for Atmospheric Research, by the Trump Administration has been much written about and commented upon, justifiably so. This brief article seeks to add information and some considerations not always noted in this coverage.

To begin, NCAR is a world-renowned place for basic research on the Earth’s atmosphere, weather, oceans, ice, and the unceasing interactions among them. Founded in 1960 by the U.S. National Science Foundation, managed by a consortium now including 130 universities, it has been a vital institution of American leadership in science, supported by presidents and Congresses for 65 years.

Located in a dramatic setting below the soaring flatirons of Colorado’s Front Range, designed by famed architect I.M. Pei, NCAR is a legendary institution in the global scientific community. That it is now threatened with liquidation by the Trump Administration marks a blunt repudiation of its long history of support and denial of the recognized status it has earned over many decades of fundamental contribution.

Ahh, Xmas in Latin America is starting to look like trumpLandia:

While all eyes are on the four-month-long US military campaign against Venezuela, the White House has been quietly striking security agreements with other countries to deploy US troops across Latin America and the Caribbean.

As Donald Trump announced a blockade on oil tankers under sanctions and ordered the seizure of vessels amid airstrikes that have killed more than 100 people in the Caribbean and the Pacific, the US secured military deals with Paraguay, Ecuador, Peru and Trinidad and Tobago in the past week alone.

The agreements – ranging from airport access, as in Trinidad and Tobago, to the temporary deployment of US troops for joint operations against “narco-terrorists” in Paraguay – are being signed under the banner of a so-called “war on drugs”, the same rationale Washington has used to justify its offensive against Venezuela, although White House officials and Trump himself has said that the goals also include seizing the country’s vast energy reserves and bringing down the dictator Nicolás Maduro.

In recent months alone, the US has signed similar agreements with Guyana, the Dominican Republic and Panama, while other countries in the region have already been drawn into the military buildup against Venezuela through existing US bases in Puerto Rico, Honduras and Cuba, and surveillance hubs at airports in El Salvador, Aruba and Curaçao.

The cunts of The Jewish Mafia: And then these Goyim Mafia.

Fredric Jameson famously said that it was easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.

Fewer than 60,000 of the world’s richest people own more wealth than half of the entire world put together, with a global elite amounting to 0.001% of the population being three times wealthier than the bottom 50%.

A new study by a team at the London School of Economics (LSE) focuses on one factor reinforcing inequality. Most people do not actually see it, or see enough of it, in their daily surroundings to understand the true extent of it.

“One finding that is pretty universal is that people have a pretty bad idea about inequality in society. Some of it has to do with the fact that we don’t understand things like the Gini coefficient… scientists and economists talk about these measures, but it just doesn’t mean much to average people,” Milena Tsvetkova, one of the authors of the study, told Euronews.

[Review — Capitalism by Sven Beckert review – an extraordinary history of the economic system that controls our lives

The Harvard professor provides a ceaseless flow of startling details in this exhaustively researched, 1000-year account

In the early 17th century, the Peruvian city of Potosí billed itself as the “treasure of the world” and “envy of kings”. Sprouting at the foot of the Cerro Rico, South America’s most populous settlement produced 60% of the world’s silver, which not only enabled Spain to wage its wars and service its debts, but also accelerated the economic development of India and China. The city’s wealthy elites could enjoy crystal from Venice and diamonds from Ceylon while one in four of its mostly indigenous miners perished. Cerro Rico became known as “the mountain that eats men”.

The story of Potosí, in what is now southern Bolivia, contains the core elements of Sven Beckert’s mammoth history of capitalism: extravagant wealth, immense suffering, complex international networks, a world transformed. The Eurocentric version of capitalism’s history holds that it grew out of democracy, free markets, Enlightenment values and the Protestant work ethic. Beckert, a Harvard history professor and author of 2015’s prize-winning Empire of Cotton, assembles a much more expansive narrative, spanning the entire globe and close to a millennium. Like its subject, the book has a “tendency to grow, flow, and permeate all areas of activity”.

“No religion, no ideology, no philosophy, has ever been as all-encompassing as the economic logic of capitalism,” Beckert claims, defining it as “the ceaseless accumulation of privately controlled capital”.

Accounting for it therefore feels like explaining water to fish. Adam Smith, “the hero of capitalism’s triumphant self-remembrance”, attributed it to benign self-interest. Beckert, however, calls it a revolution, centuries in the making, which depended on things that Smith downplayed: “power, violence, the state”. Far from natural or inevitable, it has always been “unstable and contested”, proceeding by jolts.

CAPITALISM = anti-human: a “rogue artificial intelligence”, an invasive species, an alien force, a supernatural hunger. It is insatiable and unkillable

Invasive fucking species, 2028, boys and girls! Vance, Rubio more likely to run with one other than compete in 2028 .

Lawler told host Kasie Hunt on CNN’s “The Arena” that “frankly, I think it’s more likely that you’ll have a Vance-Rubio ticket than anything else.” The New York Republican stopped short of throwing his full support behind Vance, but he said the vice president has a “leg up” on the competition and would be a “formidable candidate” if he decides to run.

Fleas dream of buying themselves a dog, and nobodies dream of escaping
poverty: that one magical day good luck will suddenly rain down on
them—will rain down in buckets. But good luck doesn’t rain down
yesterday, today, tomorrow, or ever. Good luck doesn’t even fall in a
fine drizzle, no matter how hard the nobodies summon it, even if their
left hand is tickling, or if they begin the new day with their right
foot, or start the new year with a change of brooms.

The nobodies: nobody’s children, owners of nothing. The nobodies: the
no ones, the nobodied, running like rabbits, dying through life,
screwed every which way.

Who are not, but could be.
Who don’t speak languages, but dialects.
Who don’t have religions, but superstitions.
Who don’t create art, but handicrafts.
Who don’t have culture, but folklore.
Who are not human beings, but human resources.
Who do not have faces, but arms.
Who do not have names, but numbers.
Who do not appear in the history of the world, but in the police
blotter of the local paper.
The nobodies, who are not worth the bullet that kills them.”
