An equine ambulance leaves the track after Race 10 at Churchill Downs on Saturday, May 6,2023

Twelve horses died in the span of six weeks at Churchilul Downs, prompting the famed Louisville track to suspend racing operations and move the remainder of its Spring Meet to Ellis Park in Henderson, Kentucky.

When the move was announced June 2, per a recommendation from the Horseracing Integrity and Safety AuthorityChurchill Downs Inc. CEO Bill Carstanjen said it will give the track time to conduct “a top-to-bottom review of all of the details and circumstances so that we can further strengthen our surface, safety and integrity protocols.”

Horses, man, and what a shame of humanity in this animal abuse. But imagine Integrity and Safety Authorities for, hmm, bridges, jets, cars, highways, homes, chemicals, toxins, air quality, water quality, death jabs, medical care, education, endless dirty weapons to the *elensky, and, well, you name some aspect of YOUR community that needs some fixing, ramping up, and retrofitting, and I’ll give you that agency, those authorities, to run the scoundrels out of town, strip them bare of all assets, and bring sanity to THE people.

Workers Strike Back

Ahh, the thugs, the Mafia lovers, the racist union pukes, those run by pigs of capital, many with the Jewish persuasion as the overriding system of suppression.

Biden, well, he should go the way of the glue factory. So many, millions in the Beltway and K-Street, the lot of them in the hundreds of alphabet agencies, become glue:

Is Glue Made From Horses? All You Need To Know

The AFL-CIO just made an important announcement about the US Presidential election, which has deeply angered and surprised many of its 12.4 million members. The union federation announced that it was making its earliest Presidential endorsement in history, without any democratic discussion or process in its ranks, for strikebreaker Joe Biden.

For millions of Americans who are struggling to make ends meet, this “historic” endorsement is a rotten sellout, in the wake of Biden’s many vicious attacks on the working class, including the blocking of the railroad workers’ strike.

I’m thinking sanctions. Those Albright, et al, death-rattling sanctions. You know about them: Cuba, Nicaragua, Libya, Iraq, Iran, Venezuela, Russia, shit, so many places.

Food production, marketing, and prices are some of the issues that most concern Cubans and is what most directly impacts our quality of life. Although this is a strategic and priority sector for Cuba, it is directly connected to the current economic situation of the country, aggravated by the impact of the US economic, commercial, and financial blockade.

Other reasons also prevent the country from achieving self-sufficiency in products. The prices’ rise in the international market in recent years and the war in Europe have also had a heavy impact.

On the international market, the cost of a ton of chicken – one of the most consumed meats in the country – is now 1,300 dollars, almost twice the price it it was one year ago. And this is just one example of what we are up against, according to the Minister of Food Industry, Manuel Santiago Sobrino Martinez.

“The energy crisis has also affected the food industry’s productivity,” the minister explained this Tuesday during an appearance on the television program Mesa Rendonda.

“In addition, we have not escaped the impact of climate change. In the first months of the year, the drought decreased milk production by about 38 million liters. We are not saying the low milk production is only because of the drought. We know there are many things we need to improve. But, the drought has also affected aquaculture production due to the decrease in the level of an important group of reservoirs,” the minister explained.

However. This reality would be more bearable without the crushing presence of the blockade, which forces Cuba to acquire food at exorbitant prices in geographically distant markets. The economic losses are estimated in the millions. (source)

It is the dirtiest country of all time, the Un-United $nakes of Amnesia-Chaos-Predation-Murder-Terror-Israel/First.

I see the sanctions we envelope young and future generations with as the calling card of capitalism, and alas, that calling card is here, at home. You think YOU and I are not being hit with sanctions?

The fucking human stain running the show, the millions in their coffers, those east coast pieces of shit, the Ivy Poison League mother fuckers, the entire Holly-Dirt Shit Storm Worthless Beings, and the Fin-Tech, the Gulags of Digitalization, all the Big and Little Man Pharma Nazis, all of the JPB Morgan Chase/BlackRock/BlackFink/ BlackStone, name the piece of human stain, and they are part of the SANCTIONS.

Case in point: I’m trying to get a 30 amp line for a travel trailer for my poor mother in law. Poor, who just lost her old man, who was POOR. The entire shit show sucks, because I can and know how to run a line from the electrical box, to an outlet for the camper. But, oh, but, the County gets involved. Bonded electrician.

I talked to the older guy doing the estimation. Ruined his knees as a timber guy, and then went into the electrical program, worked for decades, and now, he goes out and does the estimates, his two artificial knees not allowing for bending and kneel, he does the site surveys.

This is the crime of a daily example. Criminals, the lot of them, with this fucked up planned pandemic, the fear porn, the lockdowns, the bullshit supply chain assaults. So, he has a job with his outfit, a commercial one, and it got delayed a year. A $42,000 bid for all the gear, a year ago, now, though, that same gear is hitting $58,000, and whereas three years ago, the stuff would be delivered in 90 days, now, 90 weeks! Inflation is what? Those dirty thieves of the Yellen kind say 4.8 percent. Fucking hell. Think 100 percent for some things, 33 percent for other things, and the DELAYS in supply!

This is how the billionaires, the Eichmann’s, the knife men and knife women in the death by 10,000 economic cuts special forces kill us all off.

What Lies Ahead for the Supply Chain Industry? - YouTube

And this is from an industry lobby, not exactly left of left, socialist:

After 36 countries, including EU members, the U.S. and Canada, closed their airspace to Russian aircraft, Russia retaliated with the same restrictions. As a result, goods transported by air freight from China to Europe or the Eastern U.S. may need to be rerouted or use slower or more expensive modes of transportation. The China-Europe rail freight route that goes through Russia, which was experiencing a boom in 2021 because of congestion in major ports, now faces mounting cancellations from European clients.

The war has also had a devastating impact on global trade movements, with hundreds of tankers and bulk carriers stranded at ports as a result of sanctions imposed on Russian-connected ships. It has also resulted in severe travel and transport restrictions imposed on Russia and Belarus in an unprecedentedly rapid and broad manner that has been coordinated among multiple nations.

In addition, the disruption of the route from China to Europe and the U.S. could do severe damage to China’s “Belt and Roads” initiative. That’s the ambitious trillion-dollar project aimed at reshaping global trade and affirming the dominance of a China-centric global supply chain, especially in Europe and Asia. Because both Russia and Ukraine are critical links in the initiative, it will almost certainly need to scale back in size and scope. (Source)

This is the sanctions shit on us, the 80 percent — housing is fucking sick, apartments are fucking sick, the entire shit show of AmeriKKKa is shit — all those planners making the world fit for cars, versus busses and trollies, and now, what the fuck, 15-minute Gulag Smart Cities? They call us conspiracy nuts if we question!

How much do I pay for this Jewish Project, this Israel-Hell 3.0? US taxpayers spend $61,000 A MINUTE on propping up Ukraine PROXY WAR

Yet, we pay for this Smart Fucking Nazi 15-Minute City:

Ukraine’s dystopian digital snitching app premiers in DC/ Dystopia, Overlords, Full Spectrum Control, Fully Totally Aware, the Pigs of Zelensky, Mossad Drenched, and here we are, man, DYSTOPIA and the people bend over FORWARD for these human stains.

Supply chain my ass. These rich, super rich, sort of rich pukes, our fellow countrymen/woman, are the enemy, and they are wanting us to be their Soylent Green, so fair play: turn them into GLUE.

This should be enough for the pitchforks to be sharpened, not just some ProPUblica series that goes, gulp, NOWHERE!

Look, my world is not about Gaia now, but about getting rid of the Gaia killers, these fuckers who need more than pitchforks: If this doesn’t piss you off, then you are the same glue between the ears of Biden:

The Biotech Edge: How Executives and Well-Connected Investors Make Exquisitely Timed Trades in Health Care Stocks by Ellis Simani and Robert Faturechi

America’s largest arms companies are increasingly finding lucrative new ways of profiting from the prison industrial complex; in many cases, weapons of war are directly manufactured using coerced prison labor. A new MintPress News study of the 100 largest private Defense Department contractors found that 37% of them were also profiting from incarcerated Americans, either in prisons and jails, or in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) camps. This proportion rose to 16 of the top 25 largest arms manufacturers, including Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, General Dynamics and Northrop Grumman. The complete list of top corporations profiting from mass incarceration, displayed in order of value of Department of Defense contracts received, is as follows:

  • Lockheed Martin
  • Raytheon
  • General Dynamics
  • Northrop Grumman
  • BAE Systems
  • L3Harris Technologies
  • General Electric
  • Health Net Federal Services
  • Atlantic Diving Supply
  • Leidos Holdings, Inc.
  • McKesson Corp.
  • Booz Allen Hamilton Holding
  • AmerisourceBergen Corp.
  • Leonardo S.p.A.
  • Textron Inc.
  • AECOM
  • CACI International
  • Jacobs Engineering Group
  • Honeywell International
  • The Walsh Group Ltd.
  • Hensel Phelps Construction Co
  • Express Scripts Inc.
  • FedEx
  • Verizon
  • Carahsoft Technology
  • Cardinal Health Inc.
  • International Business Machines Corp. (IBM)
  • Harris Global Communications Inc.
  • AT&T
  • Microsoft
  • Serco Group
  • Cisco Systems
  • Gilbane Inc.
  • CDW Corp.
  • GlaxoSmithKline plc
  • Centene
  • Deloitte

The list (which can be viewed and downloaded here) was created by compiling data from government website USASpending.Gov. The list of the 100 largest private military contractors over the last completed fiscal year was then compared to a database of prison industry private-sector players curated by prison abolition group Worth Rises.

Ahh, and I got this piece of Orwellian bullshit from some trading company: “5 Differences Between Rich And Poor Mindset”. This is it for “those” fucking MBA, econ 101, pieces of marketing and math shits: Rich is good, a force for all good, a force for helping the community, a force that is not out there to turn a buck on every fucking thing, sure, the force be with you from cradle to grave, and we shall own everything and you shall be in debt for seven generations, or more!

1. The Rich Mindset Is Proactive, Not Reactive.

2. The Rich Mindset Is A Growth Mindset, Not A Fixed Mindset.

3. The Rich Mindset Looks For Opportunity, Not Safety.

4. The Rich Mindset Is Positive, Not Negative.

5. The Rich Mindset Loves Capitalism.

Rich vs Wealthy: What Are The Key Differences?

Capitalism, to a rich mindset, represents freedom, opportunities, and the potential for prosperity. They see it as a tool that can be used for wealth creation rather than a system to be feared or resented.

6. The Rich Mindset Wants To Employ People, Not Work For A Paycheck.

7. The Rich Mindset Is More Focused On Creating Products Than Consuming Them.

8. The Rich Mindset Seeks To Build Businesses, Not Work For Them.

9. The Rich Mindset Thinks About Net Worth, Not What They Can Borrow To Acquire Consumer Debt.

10. The Rich Mindset Thinks In Terms Of Cash-Flowing Assets, Not Debt Payments.

11. The Rich Mindset Wants To Overcome Circumstances, Not Be A Victim Of Them.

12. The Rich Mindset Loves To Build, While The Poor Mindset Loves To Consume.

13. The Rich Mindset Is Obsessed With Learning; The Poor Mindset Is Obsessed With Entertainment.

14. The Rich Mindset Accumulates Assets, While The Poor Mindset Accumulates Debt.

15. The Rich Mindset Has Goals, While The Poor Mindset Has Wishes.

Of course, each of the 15 is up is down illogic, but these are the Chlamydia Capitalists, the parasites, and they have all sorts of fun ways to say rich man, poor man, good man, bad man. Here, their fucked up graphic:

Rich man & dumb man: US President Joe Biden has called Chinese President Xi Jinping a dictator at a fundraising event in California.

US President Joe Biden called Chinese President Xi a "dictator" at a fundraiser in California

Notice this company in the list above making money on imprisonment telling us how companies can get workers healthier so they can work LONGER for the man:

The report from researchers for Deloitte released on Tuesday found that all Americans could live to almost 90 years old with as much as 95 percent of their lives in good health while spending less than they currently do on health care. 

Improvements in health care could also extend the average amount of time that people live in good health by almost 20 years, according to the report. 

“Leaning on the impact that the health and productivity of the workforce can have on an organization’s success, employers are uniquely positioned to take the lead on influencing health improvements more broadly,” the report states. 

The researchers said the average lifespan in the U.S. dropped last year to its lowest level since 1996 while health care spending is outpacing the growth rate of gross domestic product. Deloitte also calculated that Americans are on average only living 65.9 years in good health, equal to 85 percent of the average life span. 

The report states that employers have the tools they need to start making changes now. 

It said employers should put their employees in a position to make better health choices, like maintaining a healthy diet, making more social connections, exercising, managing stress, cutting down on smoking. They can do this through wearable and digital tools and coaching. 

Story at a glance


  • A new report from Deloitte found employers could contribute to extending the public’s lifespan by more than a decade.

  • Researchers said employers already have some tools they need to help and should make investments in resources for people to live healthier lives.

  • Other stakeholders like the health care industry and individuals also need to play their parts to help the report’s vision be realized.

See these fuckers want us to live longer so THEY can exploit us and make more money off us. Fuck our grandchildren, and fuck mutual aid and fuck volunteerism and fuck working with nature, people, the entire suite that makes a community. This fucking shit, man, on the digital dashboard, pay for success and impact investing, and tracking, and if we fall below some Gestapo Level of Acceptable Lifesyle and Life Purusit and Life Thinking, them, shit, the storm troopers come and get us in the night while we munch on Cheetos and slam Bud Lites.

Note: A la CIA WikiPedia, “Touche Tohmatsu Limited (/dəˈlɔɪt ˈtuːʃ toʊˈmɑːtsuː/), commonly referred to as Deloitte, is a British multinational professional services network headquartered in London, England. Deloitte is the largest professional services network by revenue and number of professionals in the world and is considered one of the Big Four accounting firms along with EY, KPMG and PwC.

The firm was founded by William Welch Deloitte in London in 1845 and expanded into the United States in 1890. It merged with Haskins & Sells to form Deloitte Haskins & Sells in 1972 and with Touche Ross in the US to form Deloitte & Touche in 1989. In 1993, the international firm was renamed Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, later abbreviated to Deloitte. In 2002, Arthur Andersen’s practice in the UK as well as several of that firm’s practices in Europe and North and South America agreed to merge with Deloitte. Subsequent acquisitions have included Monitor Group, a large strategy consulting business, in January 2013. The international firm is a UK private company, limited by guarantee, supported by a network of independent legal entities.

Deloitte provides audit, consulting, financial advisory, risk advisory, tax, and legal services with approximately 415,000 professionals globally. In FY 2021, the network earned revenues of US$50.2 billion in aggregate. The firm has sponsored a number of activities and events including the 2012 Summer Olympics.”

And this hair up my ass came from watching (cocaine for the fucking brain) two flicks — Ides of March, and the Program:

Of course, the shit show that is Thespian Lies, Lies, Lies, Fake Laughs, Fake Orgasms, Fake Governors, Fake Presidents, Hell, Why Not The Rock for President, as the Arnold the Nazi got that fucking Ray-gun California SMILE.

Thespians are lying sons of bitches. [Photo: Thespis of Icaria: The Ancient Greek That Invented Acting in the Western World. Credit: @PhilippeBohstrom / Twitter]

Thespis of Icaria ancient greek acting

Yet, not everyone liked his performance. One such person was Solon, an Ancient Greek Athenian poet, lawmaker, and statesman. He is known in history as a reformer who attempted to save Athens from moral, political, and economic deterioration. His attempt at reform was, nevertheless, short-lived, though he is still considered the engineer of democracy in the archaic city.

Solon apparently wanted to know if Thespis “was not ashamed to tell so many lies before such a number of people,” as words would become the foremost critical review of theater.

Thespis supposedly replied that there was no harm by doing so in a play. At this point, Solon is said to have violently banged his walking stick while warning the tragedian that “if we honor and commend such play as this, we shall find it some day in our business.”

And we have fucking journalists (sic) acting in the Ides of March, and we have this story of Lance Armstrong “doping” to win seven Tour de France bike races, and we are left with the reality of the fucking acting which is the politician’s inner core — lying sons of bitches. George “Creepy” Clooney plays a governor running for president, and he has a handler or two, on the campaign. Pure fucking Greek tragendy as the guv knocks up a 20-year-old intern who gets an abortion with the help of the guv’s point man, but she commits suicide. Stars: Paul Giamatti, George Clooney, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ryan Gosling.

It’s just another slice of the American mind, the lying and fucking around, the cheating, and the fucked up presidential run-up — major spinning, media manipulation, selling out, all of it, as Gosling plays the front man who has some dirt ont he governor as a way to get back into the campaign.

The idea is, who the fuck is the president, and how many fucking murders and rapes and rip-off schemes and adulturous shit have they done. Epstein ANYONE?

Then, Lance, the athlete who gets into doping on the Tour, and it’s a doctor who uses a few tricks to get more red blood cells and more oxygen into the system so these fucks can climb climb climb the Alps.

Again, it’s all a show, all acting, and the race is managed by millionaires and corporations, and so this guy, Armstrong, decides to give it hell. Imagine the shit the body takes with one, five, a dozen or 30 concussions of boxing or footballing. All that’s legal, no, even though many of the athletes end up, well, let’s say, touched by an angel and devil.

Who gives a fuck that these skinny guys do this shit to their bodies: He ain’t no hero, but he ain’t no criminal. Stripped of his seven titles, and Nike, that pussy outfit, ripped down his image at the Oregon “campus” as soon as the news broke that Lance used some juice to help his body juice up the aAlps. The Sweat Shop Nike, that fucking company, right, that dirty slave shop company. Right, lecturing Lance.

According to multiple reports, Lance Armstrong will admit to doping during his cycling career in an exclusive interview with Oprah Winfrey, airing on Thursday night. 

Winfrey also confirmed as much recently, meaning it’s likely just a waiting game at this point. We wait to find out how Armstrong will confess, how he will defend his choices and what is going to come of it.

Immediate reaction upon the news being broken this week was a storm of hate, shock and disappointment across the internet. And I’m here to tell you that as deceptive, dishonest and disgusting as Armstrong might be in the public eye now, that it’s okay to still consider him a hero. (source)

Yep, Williamson, West, Kennedy, Pence, DeSantis, and the Biden Crime Family! Shit, worthless useless/useful idiots:

Emanuel Pastreich summarizes 11 Chapters on taking down the billionaires.

He’s a real deal, born the same month JFK was assassinated by CIA:

Emanuel Pastreich: I see the struggle against the billionaire class as the equivalent of war.

That is why I invoke the Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu whose writings I know since my field is Asian studies. I studied classical Chinese, so books like “The Art of War” are very familiar to me. “The Art of War” stresses understanding who your enemy is, what their nature is, what their desires are, and what they’re striving for. At the same time, it demands that you understand yourself, know your own weaknesses, your own misperceptions, your own indulgences.

The implication is that if you can grasp both, who your enemy is, who the person you’re struggling with is, and who you are, then you are on the road to success. But if you don’t get the second part, if you don’t understand who you are, or if you don’t understand who you’re dealing with, then the situation is quite dangerous.

The billionaires have spent, billions of dollars over a long period of time, on research from back in the 1960s on how to make people stupid, over time, using TV, movies, pornography and games. They conducted a lot of research on mass manipulation, as I mentioned regarding the work of DARPA on this subject. Basically, the effort has been quite successful.

It is true that many people look up to the billionaires. Elon Musk or Bill Gates are glorified because they promote themselves, spreading myths about their start as entrepreneurs creating their business in their basement, or in their garage. Supposedly, thanks to their genius and the American way they became billionaires. And so could you if you were only a bit smarter.

This narrative is a clear fraud. These billionaires rise to wealth was fixed. It wasn’t about technology; it was about access finance.

There was some brilliance in people like Mark Zuckerberg. The way in which he played various investors against each other to keep Facebook under his control was smart. But that was not his brilliance in technology or his vision for humanity-just his greed and cunning. Anyone could have built the Facebook if they had access to 50 billion dollars in loans that they did not have to pay back anytime soon. The key was the use of global finance and the leveraging of the use of supercomputers to manipulate people.

These days, money is calculated by supercomputers. Most of those supercomputers handling digital currency are not accessible to third parties. The parasite class can get billions, or trillions, of dollars by just cooking it up, using derivatives and other financial mythical beasts that live in super computers.

Supercomputers are also used to track us, anticipate our actions and manipulate, “nudge” us into making decisions that are not in our interests.

This part of the conspiracy is left out of most alternative media.

Using super computers, multinational corporations get access to extremely detailed descriptions of all of us that allow them to track us as individuals, as groups, or as communities all over the whole world: hundreds of millions of people in real time.

They use this information to anticipate what we will do. And they float all sorts of false news, concepts, ideas, and initiatives—the test runs you get in the Washington Post that is owned by Jeff Bezos—in order to test us, manipulate us, shock us, and to lull us into a state of passivity and mental disorientation that allows, assures, that no effective resistance will be organized. This mass manipulation via profiles of just about everyone and customized information fed to individuals and populations undermines the whole sense of governance.

The bottom line for us is not uncovering the latest fraud. It must be forming meaningful, organized, long-term, planned resistance that will take them down step by step by step.

Again, we need Parenti!

Mystery: How Wealth Creates Poverty in the World by Michael Parenti (2007)

Ways of Thinking - Feudalism is very much alive

[Image by Judite B]

by Michael Parenti

There is a “mystery” we must explain: How is it that as corporate investments and foreign aid and international loans to poor countries have increased dramatically throughout the world over the last half century, so has poverty? The number of people living in poverty is growing at a faster rate than the world’s population. What do we make of this?

Over the last half century, U.S. industries and banks (and other western corporations) have invested heavily in those poorer regions of Asia, Africa, and Latin America known as the “Third World.” The transnationals are attracted by the rich natural resources, the high return that comes from low-paid labor, and the nearly complete absence of taxes, environmental regulations, worker benefits, and occupational safety costs.

The U.S. government has subsidized this flight of capital by granting corporations tax concessions on their overseas investments, and even paying some of their relocation expenses—much to the outrage of labor unions here at home who see their jobs evaporating.

The transnationals push out local businesses in the Third World and preempt their markets. American agribusiness cartels, heavily subsidized by U.S. taxpayers, dump surplus products in other countries at below cost and undersell local farmers. As Christopher Cook describes it in his Diet for a Dead Planet, they expropriate the best land in these countries for cash-crop exports, usually monoculture crops requiring large amounts of pesticides, leaving less and less acreage for the hundreds of varieties of organically grown foods that feed the local populations.

By displacing local populations from their lands and robbing them of their self-sufficiency, corporations create overcrowded labor markets of desperate people who are forced into shanty towns to toil for poverty wages (when they can get work), often in violation of the countries’ own minimum wage laws.

In Haiti, for instance, workers are paid 11 cents an hour by corporate giants such as Disney, Wal-Mart, and J.C. Penny. The United States is one of the few countries that has refused to sign an international convention for the abolition of child labor and forced labor. This position stems from the child labor practices of U.S. corporations throughout the Third World and within the United States itself, where children as young as 12 suffer high rates of injuries and fatalities, and are often paid less than the minimum wage.

The savings that big business reaps from cheap labor abroad are not passed on in lower prices to their customers elsewhere. Corporations do not outsource to far-off regions so that U.S. consumers can save money. They outsource in order to increase their margin of profit. In 1990, shoes made by Indonesian children working twelve-hour days for 13 cents an hour, cost only $2.60 but still sold for $100 or more in the United States.

U.S. foreign aid usually works hand in hand with transnational investment. It subsidizes construction of the infrastructure needed by corporations in the Third World: ports, highways, and refineries.

The aid given to Third World governments comes with strings attached. It often must be spent on U.S. products, and the recipient nation is required to give investment preferences to U.S. companies, shifting consumption away from home produced commodities and foods in favor of imported ones, creating more dependency, hunger, and debt.

A good chunk of the aid money never sees the light of day, going directly into the personal coffers of sticky-fingered officials in the recipient countries.

Aid (of a sort) also comes from other sources. In 1944, the United Nations created the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Voting power in both organizations is determined by a country’s financial contribution. As the largest “donor,” the United States has a dominant voice, followed by Germany, Japan, France, and Great Britain. The IMF operates in secrecy with a select group of bankers and finance ministry staffs drawn mostly from the rich nations.

The World Bank and IMF are supposed to assist nations in their development. What actually happens is another story. A poor country borrows from the World Bank to build up some aspect of its economy. Should it be unable to pay back the heavy interest because of declining export sales or some other reason, it must borrow again, this time from the IMF.

But the IMF imposes a “structural adjustment program” (SAP), requiring debtor countries to grant tax breaks to the transnational corporations, reduce wages, and make no attempt to protect local enterprises from foreign imports and foreign takeovers. The debtor nations are pressured to privatize their economies, selling at scandalously low prices their state-owned mines, railroads, and utilities to private corporations.

They are forced to open their forests to clear-cutting and their lands to strip mining, without regard to the ecological damage done. The debtor nations also must cut back on subsidies for health, education, transportation and food, spending less on their people in order to have more money to meet debt payments. Required to grow cash crops for export earnings, they become even less able to feed their own populations.

So it is that throughout the Third World, real wages have declined, and national debts have soared to the point where debt payments absorb almost all of the poorer countries’ export earnings—which creates further impoverishment as it leaves the debtor country even less able to provide the things its population needs.

Here then we have explained a “mystery.” It is, of course, no mystery at all if you don’t adhere to trickle-down mystification. Why has poverty deepened while foreign aid and loans and investments have grown? Answer: Loans, investments, and most forms of aid are designed not to fight poverty but to augment the wealth of transnational investors at the expense of local populations.

There is no trickle down, only a siphoning up from the toiling many to the moneyed few.

In their perpetual confusion, some liberal critics conclude that foreign aid and IMF and World Bank structural adjustments “do not work”; the end result is less self-sufficiency and more poverty for the recipient nations, they point out. Why then do the rich member states continue to fund the IMF and World Bank? Are their leaders just less intelligent than the critics who keep pointing out to them that their policies are having the opposite effect?

No, it is the critics who are stupid not the western leaders and investors who own so much of the world and enjoy such immense wealth and success. They pursue their aid and foreign loan programs because such programs do work. The question is, work for whom? Cui bono?

The purpose behind their investments, loans, and aid programs is not to uplift the masses in other countries. That is certainly not the business they are in. The purpose is to serve the interests of global capital accumulation, to take over the lands and local economies of Third World peoples, monopolize their markets, depress their wages, indenture their labor with enormous debts, privatize their public service sector, and prevent these nations from emerging as trade competitors by not allowing them a normal development.

In these respects, investments, foreign loans, and structural adjustments work very well indeed.

The real mystery is: why do some people find such an analysis to be so improbable, a “conspiratorial” imagining? Why are they skeptical that U.S. rulers knowingly and deliberately pursue such ruthless policies (suppress wages, rollback environmental protections, eliminate the public sector, cut human services) in the Third World? These rulers are pursuing much the same policies right here in our own country!

Isn’t it time that liberal critics stop thinking that the people who own so much of the world—and want to own it all—are “incompetent” or “misguided” or “failing to see the unintended consequences of their policies”? You are not being very smart when you think your enemies are not as smart as you. They know where their interests lie, and so should we.

Pastreich gets it, and there is no way in hell he’ll get a dime’s of poublicity from the Occupied Media, from the Muscle Men and Women Controlling the Narrative. This is a grand conspiracy, a grand beck door program, an amazing project that has infected all aspects of the “system” — education, media, publishing, entertainment, retail, consumerism, all of it, infecting the mind:

Emanuel Pastreich: “We face a systematic effort, based upon research conducted back in the fifties, manipulate people by inducing narcissistic, self-centered behavior.

If you notice that youth are more self-centered today than was the case before, that is because they have been brainwashed by the corporate culture around them—it is not a natural change.

That is how we’re controlled. Milton Mayer’s book “They Thought they were Free” describes how under the Third Reich in Germany citizens were convinced that they were entirely free through advanced psychological manipulation in media and entertainment, in music and art. The advances in technology make the assault even more dangerous today. We are not free at all. We are deeply manipulated people.”

Of course, vital reading gone gone gone. There is no education, really.

“IF VOTING MADE ANY DIFFERENCE, THEY WOULDN’T LET US DO IT.”

Charles Umney, in his Class Matters (2018), calls it “an old anarchist slogan, frequently found as lamp-post graffiti in university cities.” Umney’s claim is corroborated by several sources. Journalists Harry Goldman, Matt Ridley, and Patrick Traub all reported seeing the slogan tagged on bridges, buildings, and other graffiti sites in Boston, Indianapolis, New York, and Washington D.C. from 1988 and 1992.

The slogan seems likely to have originated in 1960s activism. Two stories in the Reno Gazette-Journal, separated by a decade, report that it was a “typical motto” of the broadcaster and gonzo journalist, Travus T. Hipp. The revised edition of And I Quote (2003) attributes it to Bob Avakian. And in a 2008 interview with The Nation, Father Daniel Berrigan gives the sources as his brother, Father Phillip Berrigan.

Here, five hours = Digital Empire and the War on Humanity and Natural Life

All these bright people seeing through the gauze of gullible Capitalists, stricken with Consumer and Retail and Stockhold Syndrome Chlamydia.

If you think THIS doesn’t involve you, this Digital Fascism, well well:

Celo’s Alliance for Prosperity, includes over a hundred different organizations ranging from payment providers, lenders, international aid, data mining, venture capital and other large associations, including Blockchain Alliance for Social Impact, Mercy Corp, OxFam Mexico, HopeforHaiti, a16z, Coinbase Ventures, and Deutsche Telekom.

Digital microwork, often AI-focused, falls under the trend of “Global Business Process Outsourcing” (BPO), a practice that entails corporations splitting up and outsouring work needed to train AI/ML as microtasks that people complete on smartphones. A service provider turns the tasks into microtasks and provides the platform people use to do the work. Right now, the majority of the work involves data annotation, which basically means categorizing data for use in AI/ML algorithms. 

Digital microtasks follow the same exact pattern as remote work robotics, where someone across the world remotely controls robots to complete basic tasks. The ability to draw from people pushed into poverty keeps costs down.  (Silicon Icarus)

Here, Australian (sic) Caitlin Johnstone:

Here are 15 such questions:

1. Why does nothing change no matter who we vote for? 

2. Why does US foreign policy always continue along the same trajectory regardless of the president’s party or platform? 

3. What keeps our voting population split right down the middle into two political factions of equal size, with neither side ever gaining enough of a majority to democratically change society in any meaningful way? 

4. Why does the stalemate described in #3 always seem to benefit the rich, the powerful, and the war-horny? 

5. Why is it that the most consequential US government policies like plutocratic influence, privatization, globalization, ecocidal capitalism and nuclear brinkmanship are never on the ballot? Why do these things keep happening, against our interests, without our ever voting for them or electing anyone who campaigned on the pledge to enact them? 

6. If our federal government’s behavior never changes no matter who we elect, could it be that there are other bodies involved in government policy-setting whom we did not elect, and who remain in positions of influence regardless of the comings and goings of our official elected government? 

7. If the above is the case, then who is it? Who’s really calling the shots in this country? 

8. Could it be that everything we’ve been told about our country, our government, our political processes and our world is untrue? 

9. If so, what are the implications of the fact that our schools and our media have been feeding us lies since we were small? 

10. What forces would be responsible for keeping all these lies flowing throughout our society? What might keep an ostensibly free press spinning more or less the same lies throughout the western world day after day, year after year, generation after generation? 

11. Is it possible that our entire electoral system is a sham designed to give the public the illusion of control so that they’ll let oligarchs and empire managers run the country undisturbed? 

12. If the electoral system is a sham, then how do we enact the changes we so desperately need? 

13. Is it possible that there are other ways to effect change in the United States which don’t involve casting a pretend vote in a fake election? 

14. Could it be that those other means of forcing change are precisely what the charade of casting pretend votes in fake elections is meant to divert us from? 

15. Should we perhaps spend less energy bickering about who should get sworn into the White House a year and a half from now, and more energy examining other possible avenues toward advancing meaningful change?

Yet, oh yet, this is it for this Continuing Criminal Enterprise. Mugshots of just a handful of the millions of criminals!

Hunter Biden accepted a plea deal from the Department of Justice for federal tax and firearms charges.
Many have argued that Hunter Biden received preferential treatment from President Biden's DOJ during the investigation.
Attorney General Merrick Garland was out of the country when the plea deal was announced.

From the redneck New York Post, not my commie newspaper, but here:

To express disappointment in the results of the Hunter Biden probe is to admit you ever believed it was an actual and honest investigation. 

Shame on you, sucker.

Santa Claus is more real than the integrity of the FBI and Justice Department under Joe Biden. Friend and family discounts have never been so obvious — and odious.

For the other side of the coin, see the FBI’s tracking of parents who dared to criticize progressive school boards, and agents who were willing to carry out an armed visit to the home of an anti-abortion protester. Traditional Catholics also were singled out for undercover surveillance.

So, that Bumbling Biden, the liar, the plagiarist, the accused rapist, the criminal of UkrainLandia, he just can shut his Ugly American Trap:

“Biden’s big mouth is a loose cannon,” said Wu Xinbo, director of the Center for American Studies at Fudan University in Shanghai, adding that the remarks may not undo what Blinken had achieved on his China visit.

Other analysts also played down the likely damage to the U.S.-China relationship.

“I bet Washington wants to let this quietly go away,” said Yun Sun, head of the China program at the Stimson Center.

“And the Chinese will not want to blow this out of proportion, ruining the prospect of a process leading to Xi’s bilateral summit with Biden in November.”

Biden has often defined the current state of global politics as a battle between democracy and autocracy, and said democratically-led countries should establish economic ties to balance autocratic-led countries, aiming at Russia and China.

Here, a hero in the world:

Attending a fundraiser in California, Biden said Xi was very embarrassed when a suspected Chinese spy balloon was blown off course over U.S. airspace early this year, and suggested Xi’s embarrassment was compounded by his grip on power. Blinken had said on Monday the chapter should be closed.

“The reason why Xi Jinping got very upset in terms of when I shot that balloon down with two box cars full of spy equipment in it was he didn’t know it was there,” Biden said.

“That’s a great embarrassment for dictators. When they didn’t know what happened. That wasn’t supposed to be going where it was. It was blown off course,” Biden said.

Biden, the rapist?

This is the face of America, really:

President Biden travels to Philadelphia

Dmitry Peskov told reporters there was a contradiction between Biden’s comment and the efforts of his secretary of state, Antony Blinken, to lower tensions with Beijing at a meeting with Xi earlier this week.

“These are very contradictory manifestations of U.S. foreign policy, which speak of a large element of unpredictability,” Peskov told reporters.

He said Biden’s comment was an “incomprehensible” follow-up to what he described as “various conciliatory statements” during Blinken’s visit.

“However, that’s their business,” Peskov said. “We have our own bad relations with the United States of America and our very good relations with the People’s Republic of China.”

“[Ronald] Reagan … was most definitely a global empire builder, a servant of the corporatocracy. At the time of his election, I found it fitting that he was a Hollywood actor, a man who had followed orders passed down from moguls, who knew how to take direction. That would be his signature. He would cater to the men who shuttled back and forth from corporate CEO offices to bank boards and into the halls of government. He would serve the men who appeared to serve him but who in fact ran the government – men like Vice President George H. W. Bush, Secretary of State George Shultz, Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger, Richard Cheney, Richard Helms, and Robert McNamara. He would advocate what those men wanted: an America that controlled the world and all its resources, a world that answered to the commands of that America, a U.S. military that would enforce the rules as they were written by America, and an international trade and banking system that supported America as CEO of the global empire.”

These Fascists in Scotland, so-called anarchist Yiddish fools, need to go the way of the Dodo.

Members of the co-operatively-run Pink Peacock in Glasgow – which describes itself as a “queer, Yiddish, anarchist café” – filmed themselves burning Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

In the video, a worker at the café is shown putting the book on a disposable barbeque then setting it alight.

The staff member is heard saying “God also hates Terfs” as the book catches alight. A Terf refers to a trans-exclusionary radical feminist.

Rowling has found herself at the centre of a vicious culture war because of her gender-critical feminist beliefs, leading to accusations she is transphobic, something she has repeatedly and strongly denied.

Oh those Trumps and Clintons and Bushes and Obamas and Bidens.

Former President Barack Obama has floated the idea of implementing “digital fingerprints” to help the public differentiate between genuine and deceptive content online.

Apparently, Covid discussions are still a thing worth cracking down on. That’s at least according to The Biden administration, which is injecting $500,000 into Texas Woman’s University as part of a grant program aimed at curbing COVID-19 “misinformation” and “disinformation” allegedly aimed at Hispanics, according to funding records reviewed by the Washington Examiner. The grant aims “to expand research on mitigating the effect of misinformation and disinformation” regarding “COVID-19 prevention and treatment initiatives among Hispanics.”

Canadian looting of Zambian resources led to debt crisis - Yves Engler

Dirty dirty Klanada.

The campaign to ‘blame China’ for the debt crisis reflects Washington’s broader demonization of China as well as worry about declining IMF/Paris Club influence. While the weakening of IMF/Paris Club power is welcome, there are legitimate concerns about the impact of a growing international debt crisis.

A recent Tricontinental article on Zambian debt highlighted the dearth of discussion about the country’s difficulty in generating the funds to pay its debt. Part of the reason is that the IMF, Ottawa and Canadian mining companies took advantage of a previous debt crisis in the copper-rich nation to strip Zambia of its lucrative assets.

Forget about a normal discussion with anyone in Klanada, U$A, EU, UK, Isra-Hell about what the fuck was happening in Donbass since 2014, before. [Photo: Shoe and toys of a girl at the cite where she lost her life due to artillery shelling by Ukraine into neighborhoods, onto schools, theaters, shopping districts, churches, etc.]

“Normal” Life Under Artillery Shells: “We Will Never Abandon Our Land”/ Posted by INTERNATIONALIST 360° on JUNE 20, 2023 / United World International

“We will never abandon our land”

If I had to summarize Donetsk in one word, I would choose the word “resilience”. Despite nine years of war and the constant risk of being hit by artillery shells or missiles, the people of Donetsk refuse to leave the city. When I asked them, “Why don’t you go to Russia? It’s safer there”, they responded, “We were born and raised here. We will never abandon our land. We will die if necessary.” If I had heard such a thing before coming to Donetsk, I would have probably dismissed it as mere propaganda.

Walking in Donetsk, you can hear the sounds of artillery fire. Especially around the train station, which is just a few kilometers away from the front, you feel like in the midst of the war.

And West calls Biden and Trump, My Brothers Joe and Donald. He is out to lunch, and again, the POTUS run-up is the prostitution system on steroids, with them all crawling on hands and knees, dialing for dollars, pleasing the mass murdering media, and juggling “values” and “ethics” until you end up with this shit, that that was 2008?

Do we hold one person to some perfection standard? Come on, West might bring some energy to the Poor People’s Campaign running as POTUS, but he is now on the Green Team, and Howie Hawkins (that Green, again, Brother Howie to West) has been on the Russia-Gate and Hate Everything Putin and Almost Everything Russian since day one.

Brother him, brother them, brother LGBTQA++. What a president he will make, chidding every country in the world that doesn’t put up the Rainbow banner. Coming from USA, from the world’s terrorist organization? Come on, and then attacking communism because West seems to think he is a Blues Man for Jesus White Boy Christ?

He’s a PROFESSOR, man, and no matter how many prison workshops he’s run, still, a PROFESSOR.

Oh no, not the Hasbara Folk running media, none of the Jewish Firsters in DC, under Nuland’s watch, oh, what an evil web they weave, those ZioAzovNazziiLandians:

These labs were exposed after the buildings were destroyed in the war.

Here, a shift: Mike Fish, yesterday, comments:

Mike Fish/ 13 hr ago

Where the fuck to start, amigo? How about with….why? Why is that 75 year old woman manning a convenience store, in the first place? Intellectual enrichment?

Spiritual and emotional development? Or, trying to keep a roof over her head, and maybe afford some of those nice things she sees on the tv? I have no reason to doubt that circle k would also terminate her employment, if she failed to intervene to prevent shoplifting.

And, then there’s the legal/liar/loser stain, that tries to make a buck off this act of theft. I don’t imagine that there will be a massive boycott of circle k, the way there was with bud light.

Priorities baby. Welcome to the shining city on the hill. A thousand points of something.

Cornel gushing over Raygun? Just like Obama!!! Cornel needs to drop out of the race. He’s clearly got a mushy brain like Biden. Putin/Russia hate must be highly contagious. If Putin is a gangster, what is Ronny boy? The world’s gone nuts.

I guess it’s a good thing that I lost all my tools. If I’d go to jail for working on my own car, or the neighbor’s for that matter, I’d get really, really, pissed off. They’ll have the dogs sniff your vehicle for signs of wrenches, or screwdrivers. This police state is after complete domination of every aspect of life.

It seems like so very few see it, or are even willing to entertain the idea. So, the machine is winning. I don’t always see it.

I confess that I had the first two gewjabs. I was under extreme duress at the time. And, I was mentally conditioned towards believing that the injections would save me from imminent death. Kinds that previous generations of family had succumbed to. So, some of my mental conditioning was self inflicted.

It’s also about something Caitlin wrote. Some of us, me included, just can’t begin to fathom how a person’s mind could operate in such a depraved fashion. Unfathomable is the word. And, probably, mostly, because, we are not educated with truth as Americans, from childhood to the grave.

Quite the contrary. A lifetime of lies. And, all of the time required trying to ascertain what’s real. Who’s got time for that, and time to stop shoplifting? But, what’s the point?

I was reading some comments earlier that praised Clarence Thomas as one of the greats in the Supreme Court. Present, and historically. The same place where I read that Sy Hersh is a lifelong fraud. How does one even reach such a confused, and I worry, unbalanced and potentially dangerous sort?

And, West is going to reach out to brother Trump’s flock, and what, preach the good news, that they have a friend in brother west? I don’t want to be friends these assholes. If you think that the bad orange guy is a great man, stay away from me, Please!

I hear enough stupid shit in a day the way it is, without seeking out some more. What is it with these black guys, and this Raygun crush anyway??? So yeah, as usual, still no reason to waste your time, and gas, and put miles on your old Chrysler, to go visit a polling place.

I did like the rent’s too damn high, guy. And, maybe gewjabs hurt people I really care about. Maybe even end up hurting me. We’ll have to wait and see.

And, I imagine it won’t be long before everything that I read, or watch on a screen, will be prescreened, for allowed content. Good thing I lost all my books. Those will be as criminal as wrenches, and screwdrivers, before you know it.

I remember your friends Robert, and Toothless, encouraging you to employ more dark humor. I not really laughing much lately there buddy. I don’t think that’s a good thing. For me anyway.

Where’s Bill Hicks, when we need him? You know it’s funny how this works.

They can prevent you from repairing your car, but they can’t prevent people from spraying your friend with agent orange, in Oregon. I’m not any good at this damn dark humor stuff, am I? You give it a try, will ya?

I’ll try again. These gews trying to kill us has been going on way before the gewjabs. I remember when I was a kid, they’d get me to take the big pharma crap by telling me that it would go down with spoonful of god damn sugar. That takes fucking cutzpah.

Smile Haeder.

The consumption of soybean oil was found to decrease the levels of oxytocin, also known as the “love hormone”, and affect about 100 other genes related to brain function and energy metabolism. The researchers emphasize that their findings are specific to soybean oil and do not necessarily apply to other soy products or vegetable oils.

Key Facts:

  1. Soybean oil, even when modified to be low in linoleic acid, has been found to have pronounced effects on the hypothalamus, leading to gene dysfunctions including a decrease in oxytocin levels.
  2. The researchers identified about 100 other genes also affected by a soybean oil diet, potentially impacting energy metabolism and brain functions, and possibly contributing to diseases such as autism or Parkinson’s.
  3. The adverse effects were specifically linked to soybean oil, not to other soy products or vegetable oils. The study urges reduced consumption of soybean oil, without avoiding other soy products that contain healthful compounds. (source)

THE COMMONWEALTH OF Massachusetts has become the unlikely vanguard of the movement to give car owners the right to repair their own vehicles. Now the US federal government is threatening to get in the way.

This week, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the US vehicle safety regulator, warned automakers not to comply with nearly three-year-old state law that requires them to share vehicle data with owners and independent auto repair shops. In a letter, a lawyer for the government argued that giving customers and repairers access to the vehicle systems demanded by Massachusetts could also make them available to hackers, who could then access steering, acceleration, braking, or electronics systems. (source)

In the past five years, Seward County law enforcement has hauled in $7.5 million from forfeitures, according to county financial records and Department of Justice annual reports.

That’s second in the state only to Lancaster County, which has a population nearly 20 times larger. 

Some of that money comes from criminal cases, where a person has drugs or guns in the car and is eventually convicted. 

But, in Seward County, much of that money pours in from civil forfeiture cases like Bouldin’s.

And this wasn’t part of the Gates-DARPA-Blackrock-Mother Fucking Billionaire’s plan?

The mid-2010’s saw an uptick in U.S. college closures, particularly among private nonprofit schools. This trend has affected tens of thousands of college students across the country.

Since 2016, 91 U.S. private colleges have closed, merged with another school, or announced plans to close, according to a CNBC analysis of data from Higher Ed Dive. Almost half of those schools closed after the onset of the Covid pandemic in 2020. For many struggling schools the pandemic was the final straw — but two major themes showed up consistently throughout the closures: finances and enrollment.

Look at this shallow and insanely stupid story: “Disastrous test scores increasingly show how steep a toll the COVID-19 era exacted on students, particularly minorities. Schools are grappling with how to catch up, and the experience of one city shows how intractable the obstacles are.”

Education is in the crapper, the shitter, and they, the elites, the motherfucking piece of human stain who want Goyim and others to fail, they are again, needing the hard bat to the head treatment.

Embarassing: “The federal government has sent schools $190 billion in pandemic-recovery funds, and districts are using some of that money for a range of interventions — intensive tutoring, expanded summer school and after-­school programs — though they have been hampered by the shortage of teachers and tutors. Even before the pandemic, Fairfield Court and other schools in the East End of Richmond, which has high levels of poverty, had received additional resources for social workers and for math and reading coaches; the new federal funding was used to provide an extended-day program three days a week for about 40 kids. Wright appreciated the support, but she could see that more would be needed to make up the lost ground.”

A society that abuses children, a society that makes youth flounder, a society that puts youth on the chopping block, a society who doesn’t put as number one priority youth and their learning, their ability to think and swim in this disaster capitalism is a Nazi Place, a truly fucking up society — anti-family, anti-child, anti-community, anti-health and anti-country.

Back to that issue, the Jewish takeover of EVERYTHING the dumb Goyim are suckers for:

Trash ideas, and here we are, Doom Zoom:

Last summer, bleary, disheartened, and often angry from more than two years of seemingly nonstop doomscrolling, I decided it was time for a big change. I needed to switch the channel, stop watching the marathon mud-wrestling match that our world has become, and spend time thinking about something else, something high-minded and maybe even transcendent.

My usual response to feeling overwhelmingly disaffected is to learn something useless in my real life. I have shelves stuffed with books about calculus and French grammar and neuroscience from past episodes. For some reason, this time I thought: poetry.

Again, a Jewish conman written about by a Jewish conman: “Why Are 30,000 People Studying Poetry Online With This Guy? You heard poetry’s dead? The acolytes of Penn prof Al Filreis’s ModPo course would beg to differ. by JOHN MARCHESE·

Ahh, the slipper slope, the shifting baseline, and these elites, the chosen ones, writing about other chosen ones, helping shepherd another batch of dimwits in the Goyim league.

As we slip more and more to shit Zoom and shit Algorithsm and shit AI and shit Cpat GPT.

Fuck these idiots slathering the sick ones who now have a classroom of 30,000. So much for the face-to-face, the bricks and mortar and the agency of local colleges and local people who too can facilitate course. Fuck them all. My fellow ex-English teacher, fuck them, the tools, the fools, the sycophants.

And they support that dirty Zelensky?

And so here we are, at the next fucking freak show, USA POTUS crap shoot, these, all of them freaks of humanity, even my friend Cornel West. What the fuck, dude?

Again, stupidity at the top, stupidity with PhDs under their fucked up mantels and a shit load of books and speaking engagement. Fucking Ronald Reagan?

You know, fuck West, Cornel:

Ronald Reagan Made Central America a Killing Field

In the 1980s, the Reagan administration used Central America as a testing ground to rehabilitate US imperial “hard power” after defeat in Vietnam. The results were predictable: death squads, massacres, and murderous repression of left-wing movements.

These people, man, these people with their fucking pie-holes! How can any shit hole Yankee be in the same arena of so many world leaders when they see Putin as some thug? Fuck Cornel, Fuck RFK, JR, Fuck Desantis/Pence/Trump/Biden. And their families and everyone touching them.

Latin America has played a crucial role in the history of US empire — and not simply because of its proximity to the US. As historian Greg Grandin argues in the recently reissued Empire’s Workshop: Latin America, the United States and the Making of an Imperial Republic (reviewed by Hilary Goodfriend for Jacobin here), countries south of the border have been used as a crucible in the formation of US policy, a testing ground for its imperial theories, and a touchstone for domestic movements.

One critical moment was the rise of Reaganism, when neoconservatives like Jeane Kirkpatrick and Elliott Abrams steered the US’s foreign policy and rank-and-file members of the New Right took a keen interest in fighting left-wing movements in Central America. Right-wing leaders later used the lessons they gleaned from brutal counterinsurgency programmes in El Salvador in the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Look at these cocaine and gun runners, Reagan’s boys. Fuck Cornel for that Tweet. May he never rest in peace.

Ronald Reagan Made Central America a Killing Field

End of support for fucking “Brother Biden Brother Biden” bullshit from the shitter, Cornel West. I’m a communist, and West is a Believer in that Fucking White Blue-eyed Creator of all things. Lauging while Ukraine dies? This is prostitution at its best. “Biden Walks Back on Ukraine’s NATO Accession.”

May that two-some die the way of the sicario. Fuck this country and fuck EU and fuck them all.

Fuck the Jewjabbers and fuck the fake scientists. Fuck the censors. Fuck them all.

Monsters, man, and the average White Shit knows nothing, man, nothing of their agenda:

In his Covid 19: The Great Reset (2020), Klaus Schwab confidently declares, “Many of us are pondering when things will return to normal. The short response is: never. Nothing will ever return to the ‘broken’ sense of normalcy that prevailed prior to the crisis because the coronavirus pandemic marks a fundamental inflection point in our global trajectory.”

As for the Third World, Schwab predicts, “In the poorest countries of the world, the lockdowns and the economic recession happening in high-income countries will trigger major income losses for the working poor and all those who depend on them. The decrease in overseas remittances that account for such a large proportion of GDP (more than 30%) in some countries like Nepal, Tonga or Somalia is a case in point. It will inflict a devastating shock to their economies with dramatic social implications.”

Three years later, it appears the worst social consequences of lockdowns and Jewjabs are in the West, and not the Third World, with even Sub-Saharan Africa not getting much worse, but they have, after all, mostly refused to get “vaccinated.” (Linh Dinh, banned everywhere).

You mother fuckers with blue and yellow Nazi Ukraine flags:

Fuck West and his bullshit LGBTQA+X,Y, Z shit, bothers in Ukraine. ANother stupid professor.

A whistleblower from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) which has itself a shady reputation mainly for its biased reporting, always in favor of the western wannabe empire and its vassals, has revealed the discovery of Ukrainian Nazi Groups harvesting children’s organs in underground laboratories. These labs were exposed after the buildings were destroyed in the war.

The 11-minute video of The People’s Voice is so brutal and cruel it is difficult to watch and listen to. 

All these black, brown, red, yellow, and white, and of course, hummus ones, they are monsters:

Turbo cancer” is a non-medical term that has arisen to describe very aggressive and rapidly progressive cancers following Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccination and suppression of the immune system.

I have written 12 substacks about turbo cancers so far:

Feeling good about the Jewjabs?

You have no symptoms? Good on you.

My Take…

The underlying mechanism of turbo cancer is most likely some type of COVID-19 vaccine induced immune system suppression that gives rise to rapidly growing and rapidly progressive cancers of the breast, lung, colon, gastric, gallbladder, pancreas, brain, lymphoma, leukemia and so on.

There are a number of theories in regards to what is causing COVID-19 vaccine induced immune system dysfunction: TLR suppression, T-cell dysfunction, IgG4 shift, DNA contamination of mRNA vials with plasmids containing SV40 promoter, p53 inhibition, PD-L1 elevation, NK cell exhaustion and many more.

PD-L1 has been associated with gastric cancer (click here). PD-L1 is a protein called “the ligand of programmed cell death 1” and is found on immune cells. It binds PD-1 which is also found on immune cells (activated T-cells & others).

The interaction of PD-1 with its ligand PD-L1 induces a suppression of T-cell receptor signaling and results in a down regulation of the immune response, which enables cancer cells to escape immune destruction. (click here)

There are new cancer drugs that target PD-L1/PD-1 to restore cancer cell directed immune response and killing of cancer cells.

COVID-19 mRNA Spike protein upregulates PD-L1 and this is even more pronounced with Omicron spike than with original Wuhan spike. Although the authors of one study concluded that this promotes immune evasion of COVID-19 and causes severe disease, upregulation of PD-L1 will also allow cancers to evade the immune system. (click here)

Pfizer & Moderna mRNA vaccines may be upregulating PD-L1 which could be causing several types of aggressive “turbo” cancers, including gastric cancers.

Even more concerning, it is possible that bivalent Omicron COVID-19 mRNA boosters may be causing even higher PD-L1 levels than the original strains of COVID-19, which could mean that if the original COVID-19 mRNA vaccines are indeed carcinogenic (via upregulation of PD-L1), the Omicron COVID-19 boosters are even worse and more likely to cause aggressive cancers.

No job for Haeder with these Substacks and all this shit, man, no matter how many of the catharses are just thought expierments:

how many blanks do you need to fill in those who are arrogant

Oh, no, sure, I can be arrogant, but, again, I am not in political office, and when I taught or case managed, what have you, and reported on new articles, there was nary an arrogant bone in my body.

When you have lives in the balance, when systems need attending to, when solutions that have no intended or unintended consequences, and when precautionary principle should be the overriding ethos, and when do no harm is the overarching way, arrogance and all the other deadly sins should be never part and parcel of each human being with power, large or small.

But every single one of them — again, fill in the blank, pick your Capitalist poison — are arrogant:

…doctor, lawyer, politician, cop, military man/woman, principal, director of this and director of that, manager, HR director, DMV behind the glass worker, celebrity, athlete, owner, seller, trader, scientist, dictator, president of this or that, code enforcer, bankers, investor, judge, prosecutor, PR spinner, academic, shit, cleric . . . . you get the images above and the graphic below!

Now now, my diatribes and polemics may sound like arrogance, but for fuck’s sake: these are bombast, experiments in taking on personas of say, a crazy communist, a hater of most things Western Civ, a boy man lost in the world with the only option for him (me) to sometimes bray bray bray. The Sky is Falling, Mano!

There are 3 types of arrogance - Futurity
Why You Need to Stop Fighting Arrogance

I get it that we are in our own Private Idaho — an imaginary place where one is locked in the arms of love

That private space in the head which is, both protected and free . . . that internal chamber of the self (there is no “self” as we know, but we are deluded Westerners), all that nonesense of superiority or inferiority, all of the propaganda we’ve been blasted with since diaper days onward, all of the hubris of the inverted totalitarians smearing us with their pathogens of consumerism, retail hell, addictions; all those nano-seconds of constant drip drip drip of marketing and Madison Avenue eating at our brains — we have arrogance of thought and process. We seem to always be alone amongst many, and that is the arrogance of civilization and the precepts put upon us against our will and willingly — we are a community of purpose and place and hope and dreams. We are not alone, in our aloneness.

Here is the full John Done quote from his sermon:

“No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as any manner of thy friends or of thine own were; any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”

No Man Is An Island...

But the controllers and masters of digital gulags, all the data demons, all of the militarists and transhumanists, the Davos Gang, the lot of them, making us feel alone, by oursevles, no one out there to confab with and then gather a group of millions to revolt.e

Again, the small-brained among us, the Anglo American syphilitic leadership and misleadership class, they are the ones who should be brought down more than a few notches. Think digging their own graves before, well, before . . .

Imagine all those old suited people in the grave shown below as having been updated to today, 2023, holding, hmm, politicians, Fortune 5,000 corporate heads, 3,900 billionaires and a shit load of the 38,000,000 millionaires:

Arrogance kills: Thanks Mr. Fish and Chris Hedges:

High Court Judge Jonathan Swift — who previously worked for a variety of British government agencies as a barrister and said his favorite clients are “security and intelligence agencies” — rejected two applications by Julian Assange’s lawyers to appeal his extradition last week. The extradition order was signed last June by Home Secretary Priti Patel. Julian’s legal team have filed a final application for appeal, the last option available in the British courts. If accepted, the case could proceed to a public hearing in front of two new High Court judges. If rejected, Julian could be immediately extradited to the United States where he will stand trial for 18 counts of violating the Espionage Act, charges that could see him receive a 175-year sentence, as early as this week. 

Oh, those Brits, and now, this Un-United $nakes of Amnesia and Chaos and Land Theft and Slavery and Terror is deeply embedded in its dirty Anglo Saxon roots, right into the DNA, into the state capitals, everywhere. Julian?

Late in 1776, the British army released thousands of revolutionaries imprisoned in New York. Their condition – starving, diseased, near death – horrified the American colonies.

That was just the beginning. The British military command would continue to incarcerate and abuse some 30,000 revolutionaries in New York.

The patriot press spread the news of the prisoner abuse, hardening public opinion against the British. A typical news item from the Connecticut Gazette on Jan. 4, 1782, describes 130 prisoners landed from New York in deplorable condition. “It is enough to melt the most obdurate heart to see these miserable objects landed at our wharves sick and dying, and the few rags they have on covered with vermin and their own excrements,” reported the Gazette.

Somewhere between 60 and 70 percent of the revolutionary prisoners died.  One historian estimates two to three times as many men died in New York prisons than in battle.

“The POW story was, in short, a public-relations disaster for the British,” wrote Edward G. Burrows in The Prisoners of New York in the Long Island History Journal. “It enflamed public opinion, squelched any hope of reconciliation, and turned resistance into a fight to the death.” (Source)

I was talking to my buddy, Toothless in Wisconsin. He filled me in on the Glen Greenwald interview of RFK, JR., and again this fellow, Kennedy, has unflinching love of Israel and zero tolerance of any narrative outside the party line — Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East, is a country of goodness, a country of Diaspora from Nazi Genocide, and one of the shining lights on planet earth.

Ahh, I reminded my buddy that there are no critics of Israel in political office, other than a handful of non-Anglo Saxon, non-White, non-Jewish female politicos. The idea is RFK JR., believes this crap, but so does Schumer and Clinton and Obama and Linsey Graham, et al.

Arrogance is this piece of shit rabbi spewing his hate. Again, these people, all of them, the arrogant ones with power, public bully pulpits, million$, and billion$ backing they should have their tongues cut out for their arrogant ways. The shit kicked out of them:

On Christmas Eve, pop star Lorde backed out of plans to perform in Israel less than a week after announcing a concert date in Tel Aviv.

Lorde’s decision was in response to considerable backlash. In an opinion piece for The Spinoff, two fellow New Zealanders—one Jewish and one Palestinian—made personal appeals to the pop star, asking her to join an “artistic boycott” in protest of the Israeli government’s policies. “The weeks prior to your tour announcement have been a difficult time for Palestinians,” Justine Sachs and Nadia Abu-Shanab wrote. “In this context, a performance in Israel sends the wrong message. Playing in Tel Aviv will be seen as giving support to the policies of the Israeli government, even if you make no comment on the political situation. Such an effect cannot be undone by even the best intention and the best music.”

This whore of a rabbi (sic) needs to be sent to kingdom come, and where are the toughies supporting Lorde and challenging the fat hummus salesman to mano-y-mano?

Read all about it in Daily Beast , and the article quotes so so many arrogant ones, this time around Jewish: The Trump-Loving, Porn-Hating Rabbi Attacking Lorde

So who bankrolled this bullying? The ad is attributed to The World Values Network and its executive director Rabbi Shmuley Boteach. According to The Guardian, The World Values Network is funded by Sheldon Adelson, the Trump-backing billionaire. But Boteach is infamous in his own right: a Hasidic would-be reality TV star and spiritual counsel to the stars who calls himself “America’s Rabbi.” In recent years, Boteach has emerged as a defender of Steve Bannon, a man who been accused of making anti-Semitic remarks himself. In fact Breitbart, which Bannon once called “a platform for the alt-right,” gave Boteach a platform for his anti-Lorde ramblings days before his ad ran in the Post.

Toothless in Wisconsin was talking about that interview with Greenwald, but hands down, these people — Bernie or Pence or Rubio or you name the arrogant one — they will not attack what needs to be attacked about Israel, and they are lock-step, cursed by their arrogance and Eichmann Syndrome, sycophants in high places, amazingly fearful of sweaty and fat punk rabbi’s like this piece of Chlamydia Capitalist Stain. you sick yet? Two human stains coming up:

The point is that politicians of all people should have humility, and Zero arrogance. They are supposed servants of the people, and high horse shit like that Chicago Piece of Shit Rahm or Biden, any of them, Trump on down, they all deserve the award — Enemy of the People.

How to Get More Than “Fifteen Minutes of Fame” - Red Chalk Studios

They — Thiel to Branson, Bezos to Buffet, and Gates to Guilliani, all of them have perception managers, communication coaches, PR handlers, mind molders, all these people holding their fucking hands to get them to a place where their arrogance is at the height of hubris: lies are truth, war is peace, and totalitarianism is philanthropy.

Inverted totalitarianism is different from classical forms of totalitarianism. It does not find its expression in a demagogue or charismatic leader but in the faceless anonymity of the corporate state. Our inverted totalitarianism pays outward fealty to the facade of electoral politics, the Constitution, civil liberties, freedom of the press, the independence of the judiciary, and the iconography, traditions and language of American patriotism, but it has effectively seized all of the mechanisms of power to render the citizen impotent.

“Unlike the Nazis, who made life uncertain for the wealthy and privileged while providing social programs for the working class and poor, inverted totalitarianism exploits the poor, reducing or weakening health programs and social services, regimenting mass education for an insecure workforce threatened by the importation of low-wage workers,” Sheldon Wolin writes. “Employment in a high-tech, volatile, and globalized economy is normally as precarious as during an old-fashioned depression. The result is that citizenship, or what remains of it, is practiced amidst a continuing state of worry. Hobbes had it right: when citizens are insecure and at the same time driven by competitive aspirations, they yearn for political stability rather than civic engagement, protection rather than political involvement.”

Inverted totalitarianism, Wolin said when we met at his home in Salem, Ore., in 2014 to film a nearly three-hour interview, constantly “projects power upwards.” It is “the antithesis of constitutional power.” It is designed to create instability to keep a citizenry off balance and passive.

He writes, “Downsizing, reorganization, bubbles bursting, unions busted, quickly outdated skills, and transfer of jobs abroad create not just fear but an economy of fear, a system of control whose power feeds on uncertainty, yet a system that, according to its analysts, is eminently rational.”

Inverted totalitarianism also “perpetuates politics all the time,” Wolin said when we spoke, “but a politics that is not political.” The endless and extravagant election cycles, he said, are an example of politics without politics.

Arrogance takes the eye away from debate, facts, truths, others’ perspectives. That’s why a Bernie or Pelosi, a Biden to Nuland, they will never submit to honest, critical thinking debate. Their lies and their self-imposed lunacy and belief systems cannot stand the heat of real debate. Arrogance: Totalitarian in its luminesce

Arrogance it intentionally forgetting history, or what these presstitutes in Ukraine are doing — asking the Nazi UkroNazi’s to take off Nazi-connected patches for their fucking photos.

Remember The Jersey?

British troops landed in New York City on Sept. 15, 1776 and remained until November of 1783. George Washington and his men tried to dislodge them during the Battle of Long Island in August of 1776. Not only did he fail, but the British captured thousands of Continental Army prisoners. Two months later, the British captured Fort Washington and more revolutionaries.

In the end, they took more than 4,000 Continental Army soldiers, sailors and privateers (4,114 by one count) and 300 officers. And they held them in deplorable conditions in non-Anglican churches, sugar refineries, jails, almshouses and broken-down warships. Civilians, too, ended up in the horribly overcrowded lockups: 800 in one church, 20 per cell in the city jail and 1100 in the most notorious prison ship, the Jersey.

Our buddies, the Monarchy:

Then in December the POW revolutionaries began to die in heaps.

The British military commander, Lt. Gen. Sir William Howe, released nearly 2,300 soldiers on parole. He informed George Washington that only a few remained in New York.

But what happened to the other revolutionary prisoners – nearly 2,000 of them? One patriot said he sent “one half to the world of spirits for want of food.”

Howe loaded hundreds of starving prisoners onto transport ships. Some couldn’t make it that far. Ethan Allen, on parole himself, saw several prisoners fall dead in the streets as they tried to walk to the vessels in New York Harbor.

The Glasgow transported about 200 revolutionary prisoners to Milford, Conn. At least 20 died on the way. Nineteen more died on their first night in Connecticut. Thirty-two were too sick to move once they landed. And many of those who could walk home died en route. Most of those who made it home died soon thereafter. (source: “British cruelty turned colonists against them”)

Bernie Sanders will never be questioned hard on his love of military in his state, or really, someone who knows what the fuck was going on in Ukraine and with Nato and what Russia was attempting to do in 1997, to stop the expansion, stop the nukes along their border, Bernie will never submit to a talk, chat, discussion with someone who knows much more than he thinks he knows. Arrogance, when in fact, politicians, elected ones, should be the people’s servant:

Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Lightning II is a radar-evading stealth fighter jet whose cost overruns and development delays have generated many headlines. This program, which has yet to be deployed in a combat capacity, was commissioned by the Pentagon in 1995 and has a projected cost of $1.5 trillion over the next 55 years, making it the most expensive weapons program in U.S. history. What hasn’t been the subject of as much ink, however, is the antiwar Democratic socialist senator who supports keeping the program in his state of Vermont: Bernie Sanders.

The plan is for the Vermont Air National Guard based at the Burlington National Airport to be the first to get the plane, replacing the aging F-16s, starting in 2019. It will be the first time the Air Force puts a new fighter bomber at a commercial airport in the U.S. And it has triggered a backlash among local residents over noise and other environmental issues. Last week, a federal judge heard arguments over a lawsuit against the U.S. Air Force regarding F-35 fighter jets.

During his recent Democratic primary campaign, Sanders contrasted his policy proposals with the more hawkish ones put forth by former Secretary of State and presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton, so his involvement in a costly project for the military industrial complex may seem to clash with his rhetoric. In a February article called “Bernie Sanders Loves This $1 Trillion War Machine,” The Daily Beast took the senator to task for this very thing.

“The socialist trumpets his antiwar record,” the article said. “But he doesn’t mind expensive war machines — if they’re based in his home state.”

Bernie and his orgasm:

TOP 25 QUOTES BY DANIEL QUINN (of 97) | A-Z Quotes
Ishmael' by Daniel Quinn and the movement it inspired

Here, meaningless political and Greenwald crap:

…enter the Iceman Cometh

Holy shit, no, I am not anti-Jewish, no anti-semite, but yes, anti Israel, anti-Zionist. That’s the way of the world, no, anti-Nazi, and thusly, there you have USA and Israel.

But I am an equal opportunity ‘hater’ Haeder when it comes not to just injustice, that thing which can be some accidental causality of capitalism and men and women attempting to survive in Darwinian Spencer — Lord of the Fly, dog-eat-dog, survival of the most unethicaly, most un fit, most deviant, most molestation expert, most dirty, most murderous, most greedy, most immoral, most rotten.

Eichmann is you, and it is they, and it is your neighbor. Communists like myself have paid the price for dying on my feet in my boots rather than begging on my knees . . . having to sell out is antithetical to my DNA.

It’s a flaw, and calling a spade a spade, well, it can get pretty gruesome and over the top.

No, not some 100-plus Eugene O’Neill bust. The Iceman Cometh is set in New York in 1912 in Harry Hope’s downmarket Greenwich Village saloon and rooming house. The patrons, twelve men and three prostitutes, are dead-end alcoholics who spend every possible moment seeking oblivion in one another’s company and trying to con or wheedle free drinks from Harry and the bartenders. They drift purposelessly from day to day, coming fully alive only during the semi-annual visits of salesman Theodore “Hickey” Hickman. When Hickey finishes a tour of his business territory, which is apparently a wide expanse of the East Coast, he typically turns up at the saloon and starts the party.

That was then, but it’s so much more dead-end now, except the dead-enders are transhumanists, the extraction and data mining experts, the impresarios of banking, real estate, finance, insurance. Thuggery with skirts and Ivy League Poison MA’s and PhD’s.

Serious.

I am broaching my meet-up with M.S., my friend, 80 years old, from Chile originally, but whose family came from, well, here, read it:

Maria Sause

Czechoslovakia to Chile, Back to Oregon Coast

Newport, OR, woman’s fight for aerial spray ban is her sense of purpose

We meet at Oceana Natural Foods Co-op. Maria Sause will turn 77 on December 9. Her face reflects five or six iterations of her life’s journey.

Just four days 80 years ago could have changed this interview – she might not have been conceived and born. Maria’s father Franta (Francisco) left Czechoslovakia a scant 96 hours after Nazi Germany took over her parents’ homeland.

The Czech family line goes way back: “I just got in touch with a second cousin two years ago who has completed the family tree. The Kraus family goes back to the late 1700s in Czechoslovakia.”

I’m with Maria on a warm Sunday, ready to feature her life — amazing intellectual and creative journeys she’s taken having been born in Chile in 1942 and her own family’s powerful narrative of survival.

I am also scrambling to get some ink down concerning the Lincoln County Community Rights’ “loss” in state court after being successful with a countywide aerial herbicide ban on forestland, AKA, clear-cuts. The short-lived ban was the first in the country won by popular vote.

On September 23rd Judge Sheryl Bachart issued her ruling that Measure 21-177 is invalid based on state law regulating pesticide use. That Measure (for the ban) was voted on by citizens in 2017 okaying the prohibition of aerial spraying of all pesticides.

The fight for our legal, constitutional, and fundamental right of local self-government marches on, and it is going to take the political will of the people to make it a reality if we ever want to stop living under the thumb of corporate government. — Rio Davidson, President of Lincoln County Community Rights.

LCCR is now in overdrive, setting up town hall meetings to strategize to fight the judge’s reversal. For people like Maria, this is a huge blow to her community and to her concept of democracy.

Pre-emption laws are made whenever government and industry see the people are rising up against their projects. A government that protects industry at a higher level than it protects the safety of the people is unconstitutional. — Maria Sause

This concept of having a fundamental right enshrined by the constitution that allows people to decide locally on issue of health, safety and the environment, is held dearly by Sause.

She has witnessed the devastation of total forest removal in her own neck of the woods where she lives in small above-garage apartment on acreage along Fruitvale Road. The stumps are emblematic of her own fight and LCCR’s fight against clear-cutting.

With the ban reversed, who knows when the timber company will begin spraying glyphosate, Atrazine and 2,4-D (an ingredient in Agent Orange made infamous in Vietnam) near where she lives.

“Right where I live, they clear cut an enormous parcel of the forest.” Interestingly, her life-long avocation of painting now reflects thick forest, sky and clear-cut landscape.

Holocaust, History, Chile

Maria is an avowed anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist. Her early days in Santiago, Chile, with her industrialist father (he was a licensed medical doctor from Czechoslovakia whose credentials were not recognized in Chile) was one of struggle since he was a highly intelligent but dictatorial man.

Her father was prescient enough to have sent his wife, Lisabet Erica Hirsch (maiden name), to England in 1938 before things got ugly in Europe.

Maria and I talk about history, about the saga of her Jewish heritage and roots. Her Kraus family line was virtually extinguished — 54 members on her father’s side (and an unknown number on her mother’s side) were exterminated in places like Auschwitz. Nazis processed professional Jews through the town of Theresienstadt, a hybrid concentration camp and ghetto established by the SS during World War.

My father in his youth belonged to several left movements. Maybe it was the shock and trauma of losing parents and the entire family that turned him into a right wing conservative.

Maria and her sister were sent to private schools outside of Santiago in the 1940s and ’50s. Her parents, in fact, split when she was one-and-a-half years old and the legal battle for the children put them into a children’s home.

That was a German couple who ran a summer camp that took them in, until Maria was more than six years old when her father took them to live with him and his new wife and new son.

Ironically, the New World formerly conquered by Spain — much of South America, including Chile — is where the Kraus Family ended up. During so-called biblical times world Jewry’s most concentrated homeland was located in what is now Spain. Maria says her paternal grandmother comes from the Sephardic Jewish population, which according to history books had established themselves in Spain almost 1,700 years ago.

Her own diaspora as a secular, non-practicing Jew is what she herself precipitated once she hit age 19 and her father approved of Maria coming to the US to study at the San Francisco State College. She stayed with an aunt and uncle there. That residence lasted six months before Maria was out on her own, working, going to school, and eventually marrying a man and having a son together, Christopher.

Summer of Love, and Ms. Sause’s Radical Education

Maria talks about her vibrant circle of friends and compatriots now in Lincoln County. At 76, Maria has good friends in Lincoln County, and the Lincoln County Community Rights organization is also a life force for her. She has three grandchildren from a single offspring, Christopher, who has spent time in Portland, Tempe, San Francisco and Chile.

Maria’s gone to school to learn English literature as an avocation to becoming a public-school teacher, which she tried her hand at as a single mother raising Christopher, who graduated from Newport High a long time ago.

That lesson, after having gained a master’s in education in a one-year intensive program at Portland’s Reed College, was tough. Getting to Lincoln County/Toledo was a journey unto itself.

She says working as an English-Art-Journalism teacher at Siletz High School was a hard lesson. “The kids just ate me up. I wasn’t prepared for all the behavioral issues. I gave the principal my resignation after two years.”

The Politicization of a Chilean

Maria Sause is busily writing press releases for the Lincoln County Community Rights. Town hall meetings were being set as we spoke at Oceana. The framing to the talks is foundational:

  • Ask your questions
  • Have your say!
  • Find out what’s next
  • What can I do?
  • How can I donate?

Meetings in Newport (October 15) and Yachats (October 16) will have already occurred by the publication of the hard copy of Oregon Coast Today. Lincoln City, however, has one set from 2 to 4 pm, October 20 at the Cultural Center.

The odds against the 21-177 measure were huge more than two years ago — the opponents were funded by big industry groups, to the tune of $475,000; on the other hand, the LCCR citizens group who wrote the initiative received support of $21,600 in cash and in-kind contributions, most of them small gifts from individuals. That was a drop in the bucket for LCCR, according to Sause, to lobby against the national and multinational stakeholders who fought to continue chemical sprays.

She has faced bigger struggles, but the Community Rights movement is her cause celebre, now.

Love and Death in a time of Chile

She returned back to Chile to take care of a dying mother (1990), after she had already taken care of her dying sister in Israel (1987 for five weeks). Both died of cancer. Maria’s is a crisscross journey from Chile to Portland to Newport to San Francisco.

This last time she returned to Southern Chile (1990) for the purpose of taking care of her mother: she met a man, fell in love, started a business and took care of an ailing father for one and a half years before his death. Maria stayed in Chile 18 years.

Cesar Retamal had lived in many places, including studying in East Germany as a machine builder. He had been imprisoned in Chile by the junta. He was an activist, a communist and blacklisted in Chile. He had been arrested by the goons deployed by the country’s American-backed dictator, General Augusto Pinochet.

Cesar, like thousands of students, professionals, union activists, was “disappeared” and tortured in one of the hundreds of torture houses Pinochet’s secret police had set up throughout Chile.

Cesar escaped because he knew one of the guards.

This is a period of time when I had an enormous education.

The couple was afforded their own home next to Maria’s father’s. He purchased it so Maria and Cesar could be close as they took care of him after the once robust man (he had been hiking in the Andes up to age 83) was paralyzed after cervical surgery.

After her father’s death (her mother had died years earlier) they ended up with inheritances (both Maria and Cesar got separate amounts) they ended up looking for land in the South of Chile: near Temuco, about 675 kilometers from Santiago. They ended up living in the foothills of the Andes.

“We built a house which I designed and made a scaled down exact model of it. Four months later the cabin-like home was built by locals. Great gatherings of friends and acquaintances were common there. Politics were central to the parties.

Socialist Owners and Conservative Workers

Maria laughs when she tells me of the construction business she and Cesar embarked upon. “We made sure everyone got the same wages. Cesar and I were working without pay. We did not have any business background.”

The administrators/owners were leftists and the laborers right wing. She laughs hard at that dichotomy.

The business went bust and the creditors were on their backs; eventually, the relationship ended. After that, Maria and Cesar stayed there for two years, in the house they had built. She painted, gardened, and worked as a translator, where she made a decent living conducting legal and technical cross translation (Spanish to English, English to Spanish).

Those years in Chile were vital to where Maria is now in Newport. She witnessed her father turn softer in his old age, becoming friends of Cesar, the avowed communist. The Pinochet regime murdered tens of thousands of innocent people of Chile. Her father was disgusted with that history of right wing politics.

The country is still collectively traumatized by the ugly years of Pinochet: 1973-1990.

Pinochet was arrested in London October 16, 1998. He was 82, recovering from back surgery. The charge was crimes against humanity on the basis of an international warrant issued by Spanish judge Baltasar Garzón.

He not only was hit with allegations of human rights abuses committed against Spanish citizens in Chile during the military regime, but also the murder, torture, hostage-taking and genocide of Chileans and other nationals.

Pinochet died one year before Maria returned to Oregon to visit her son and grandchildren. That was 2007.

Setting Down Roots

I have a love-hate relationship with Oregon,” she tells me. “It’s got a reputation for having an environmentally minded government. Yet it’s clear industry runs the state.

She recalls John Kitzhaber, when he was governor, saying he couldn’t do anything about the clear-cutting and aerial spraying in Oregon because “my arms are tied by the timber industry.”

So this final iteration of her vagabond life started in Lincoln County when she ended up sharing a house with her former San Francisco State College (now University) Shakespeare professor — Edward van Aelstyn.

That was 2007, and Maria lived with him on Nye Beach, from 2007-2016. He passed away May 23, 2018 at age 82.

Interestingly, van Aelstyn became an Associate Professor of English at San Francisco State College in 1967 mostly teaching Shakespeare. His involvement with the cultural life of San Francisco, and his participation in a union-led faculty strike supporting students were part of the “Education of Ms. Sause.”

“I was very naïve about the United States, about the world and politics. I was taking care of my son, going to school, working odd jobs — a lawyer’s office, for a record distributor and in offices.” She remembers striking faculty at SFSC in solidarity with students, and remembers how those striking faculty were fired.

That’s what began to stoke fire in her belly. van Aelstyn founded the Newport-based Teatro Mundo, which Sause thinks fondly of.

“I like what I am doing now – drawing and painting, sort of getting back into it. I am still finding my way,” she says while describing her life in a studio apartment above a garage as pretty ideal.

“I am almost 77 (December 9) and I am very fortunate to spend my time here on the coast. I am not interested in being a tourist,” she laughs, saying that she couldn’t afford to be a globe trotter even if she wanted to.

She tells me that the fight for a community bill of rights, reversing these state preemption laws and having communities determine their health, safety and sustainability takes time.

Maria Sause is no fly on the wall, no Polly Anna, and certainly has certain gravitas in the community. She’s up on the issues why the Liquid Natural Gas proposed port in Coos Bay, Jordan Cove, is wrong for that community and the state.

She alludes to the youth around the world, and in Newport, protesting for climate action. She applauds them.

In the end, her goal with LCCR is “to provoke structural change in government. In that sense, education is key to “give people the opportunity to see government is not really there to protect their safety.”

“This is why I am here in Newport. I have good friends. I can do my painting. Work on community rights. People have to rise up for their most fundamental rights.”

In an Activist’s Own Words

Paul:  In a few sentences, explain what your philosophy is in terms of your life and your idea of what we as a species have to do on earth.

Maria:  My “philosophy” in terms of my life, if I have one, has to do with learning how to love better and better throughout life, to always live in such a way that I am actively learning something, and with doing things that are meaningful. I don’t make a big distinction between work and entertainment. I can have as much fun working as doing something conventionally called entertainment. Work can be, and should be, entertaining, and entertainment, for me, can be something that requires effort and is difficult to do.

What we as a species have to do on earth is a big question which I don’t know anyone knows how to answer. There are a lot of things we, as a species, shouldn’t do. We unfortunately learn about them as we witness ourselves doing them and causing harm to other species and our own. So, what I think we as a species have to do on earth today is retrace our steps in many ways, and start living in a way that allows other species to live and flourish, even if that means relinquishing many comforts we take for granted today.

Paul:  If you could do some things over in your life, what would they be, and why?

Maria:  There are many things I would do differently and hopefully better. But that happens to all of us. We learn our lessons precisely because we cannot do those things again. Don’t we?

Paul:  The value of art and the arts. Can you give us your take on that?

Maria:  Art is a translation of experience into something we can feelingly see, hear, or touch. So, in a sense, it is experiencing life in another language or in a medium separate from ourselves. It gives us a deeper connection with life, allowing us to renew our focus on it. How it does that is a mystery, and mystery is a gift all by itself.

Paul: If you could meet one person, alive or in history, who would that be, and what would you ask her or him?

Maria:  Maybe it would be a person who lived in pre-historic times. I have always had a yearning to know what life was like then, and how people saw their lives, and what they thought about life.

Paul: Homo sapiens is, unfortunately, through the lens of capitalism, an invasive species, with the concept of might makes right, the victors write the history, and those with power and money have always ruled. How do you reframe this for some of the young people you and I now see on the street, valiantly striking for climate change mitigation or awareness or change?

Maria:  I don’t have the answer to this question. The harm to our beautiful planet home is being done at an alarming rate every day that passes. What we can and desperately need to do is change that lens – capitalism – through which we see the world and make our choices in life. We have to regroup, rethink ourselves as the caretakers of Mother Earth, who is growing old. We have received from her for millennia and now it is time to give back, to ask for forgiveness. Our social and government structures have to mirror that attitude. Only that can allow Mother Earth to heal. Only that way can we as a species have a future.

Paul:  If you were to have a tombstone, what would that say once you pass on? Write it!

Maria: “We don’t know why we pass through. Let no step we take while here be wasted.”

It’s four years since that piece, and we have been friends, and I have learned the grace of aging and the regale love of art, learning and being in this absolutely wonderful ecosystem and landscape. She has learned so much in her latter, life, she says, learning to question and question systems, mythologized histories, the psychologically infused ignorance of her generation, other generations, the world for which she calls home.

Yes, I have harangued lately on the Jewish Cabal in the Biden Gang, and I have pointed out the minority of minorities, Jews, having a huge weight of the world’s influence on things that are wrecking the world, and killing it quickly.

Blinken/Garland/Nuland/Yellen/Kagan/So Many Other Jews in Biden’s realm, as valorized by the various Israeli newspapers and periodicals. Sometimes she can ask me what is it I like about Jews?

The universal question: What is it you see good in humanity? What about homo sapiens, homo retailopethicus, homo bellum do you like?

Anything you like about Europe these days? What about Catholicism?

You know, the power, baby, the imbalance of power. What is to like about Ango Americans, or the monarchies? Anything about Israeli policies or the Occupiers who spit hate?

Does it matter whether a criminal like Fink is Jewish? Yes, and, not always yes across the board, but yes, and no:

Here, he is deciding what the world is, what the world needs, what workers are, what will solve the world’s problems. And the “story” just is inane and stupid. Inflation? Hmm, the cost of medicine, gasoline, lumber, housing, rent, many food items have DOUBLED. So, this is four percent? This is lie number one, but a big one.

Then, dirty Fink, says AI will “increase productivity? This is what a slave owner says. Massa. This man and his ilk and his family and all those supporting this 10 Trillion Dollars in assets thug outfit need to go the way of the dodo.

New artificial intelligence technologies can help end our period of record inflation, the head of the world’s largest asset manager argued on Wednesday.

A global slowdown in productivity is a “reason why we have such sticky inflation,” BlackRock CEO Larry Fink said during the company’s investor day event, according to Bloomberg.

“A.I. has the huge potential to increase productivity, and transform margins across sectors,” he predicted, which would “bring down the inflation,” reports the Financial Times.

U.S. prices rose 4% year-on-year in May, which is the lowest rate of inflation reported in over two years. Yet core inflation—which excludes more volatile energy and food prices—came in at 5.3%, staying above 5% for the 18th consecutive motnh.

Fink warned a few weeks ago that inflation was “still too strong, too sticky,” and so would lead to two to four more interest rate hikes from the U.S. Federal Reserve. (The Fed on Wednesday held off on raising rates again, but forecast two more increases before the end of the year.)

They are all Jews, so does Judaism matter? Yes, and, yes, and sorta no. Itamar Ben-Gvir (Hebrew: אִיתָמָר בֶּן גְּבִיר; born 6 May 1976) is an Israeli lawyer and politician, who serves as the Minister of National Security. He is additionally a member of the Knesset and leader of Otzma Yehudit.

So, what do I like about Jews? Come on, I was educated by many throughout my college years, and some during union organizing years. My friends early in college, their families, they embraced inquiry, embraced having their children be smart, to think for themselves, to respect knowledge, and to gain skills as speakers and in many cases to pursue the arts as well as their primary interests. Families that talked, argued, debated, deployed verbal pugilism, but did not hate or hold grudges.

Treated children like humans, not some Disney or Seasame Street character. Whereas so many Goyim, white milquetoast families I was and am around are see, speak, hear no evil, are emotionally evolved as a fucking rabid rat. So many discussions that could have been turn into I know best, I won’t hear your opinion, I have already made up my mind, and the discussion ends when things get heated or elevated loud.

We will have no disrespectfulness in my house. Your perspective is no up to snuff, and you need to live a few more decades to weight in, buddy boy. Mind your elders and stop challenging them. Who pays for your food and the roof over your head? Just eat the Nachos and watch the goddamned Lions and Bears play. Don’t ruin this Thanksgiving with your mumbo jumbo about national day of mourning for the Indian. Losers don’t write the history, and animals are animals, no matter how hard you try and make the savages into noble this and noble that.

Jews I knew did no dress up in fucking baggy sweatshirts with this or that professonal team logo. Goyim are seemingly arrested developed.

So, yes, I have been called a Heeb, and self-loathing gentile, and alas, here I am in another saddle calling foul on a whole lot of Jews in my country, and forget about EuroTrashLandia and Klanada.

Do I have a problem with Soros and the neoliberal media, much of which, again, is steered, controlled by and created by Jews?

George Soros Hands Control to His 37-Year-Old Son: ‘I’m More Political’

In his first interview as successor, Alex Soros says the family’s $25 billion philanthropic enterprise will boost its support for voting and abortion rights

By Gregory Zuckerman

Updated June 11, 2023 7:47 pm ET

George Soros, the legendary investor, philanthropist and right-wing target, is handing control of his $25 billion empire to a younger son— Alexander Soros, a self-described center-left thinker who grew up self-conscious of the family’s wealth and wasn’t thought to be a potential successor. 

The 37-year-old, who goes by Alex, said in the first interview since his selection that he was broadening his father’s liberal aims—“We think alike,” the elder Soros said—while embracing some different causes. Those include voting and abortion rights, as well as gender equity. He plans to continue using the family’s deep pockets to back left-leaning U.S. politicians.

“I’m more political,” Alex said, compared with his father. He recently met with Biden administration officials, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) and heads of state, including Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to advocate for issues related to the family foundation.

To call George Soros as a philanthropist is a lie and disgusting.

Now now, Soros, Geroge, has a foreign policy: “My goal is to become the conscience of the world.” Does his Jewish count? Come on. (one of a thousand sources on this criminal, and there is no do-good in this murderer).

So, if you call out Soros, you are antisemite. There we have it, and who is labelling me with this term? “Counting on Billionaires”

Philanthrocapitalism is the latest “great white hope” of international development. Unlike traditional philanthropists, who were content to write checks for good causes, “philanthrocapitalists” like Bill Gates and George Soros have supposedly transformed development aid by infusing it with the business principles of innovation, efficiency, and enterprise.

Michael Green and Matthew Bishop celebrate this transformation in their best-selling book, Philanthrocapitalism: How the Rich Can Save the World and Why We Should Let Them. Bishop and Green argue that philanthrocapitalism is a “new social contract,” in which increasing inequality is to be accepted in exchange for “the rich regarding their surplus wealth as the property of the many, and themselves as trustees whose duty it is to administer it for the common good.”

Should the rich not be sufficiently generous, they warn, “they risk provoking the public into a political backlash against the economic system that allowed them to become so wealthy.” This danger is well understood by “the leading beneficiaries of the winner-takes-all society, [who] worry increasingly about the political risks of growing inequality and are concluding that philanthropy may be one of the best ways to manage those risks.”

In a characteristically amusing and suggestive metaphor, Slavoj Žižek has likened this ideological strategy to the phenomenon of chocolate laxatives: each presents the cause of the problem — chocolate constipates, capitalism impoverishes — as the solution to its own pathological symptoms. Žižek’s favored example is Soros: speculator, philanthropist, and one of the wealthiest men in the world.

Soros is notorious for making vast profits by precipitating the financial destruction of entire economies. In 1992, he forced the United Kingdom out of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism and into recession by shorting sterling, making an estimated $1 billion in a single day. He has also been blamed for triggering the East Asian financial crisis in 1997 by short-selling the Thai baht and the Malay ringgit, and was accused of playing a role in speculative attacks on the yen in 2013.

But liberal elites around the world laud Soros for channelling large quantities of his dubiously earned wealth into philanthropic projects — primarily through his Open Society Foundation, which promotes democracy, free markets, and economic development around the world.

Unsustainable coffee production is making more and more people sick

But it runs deep, this Chlamydia Capitalism, and again, each tasty cup of coffee, behind that latte is death, on so many levels:

Coffee plants are subjected to a barrage of attack by insects, bacteria and fungi as a result of their being increasingly grown as a monoculture crop since the 1990s. These attacks may also be exacerbated by climate change. On larger coffee plantations in particular, this has led to the increased use of pesticides, the primary weapons used by farmers to combat unwanted guests.

In Brazil, the world’s largest coffee producer and pesticide consumer, chemical pesticide use increased by 190% in a single decade. Estimates show that roughly 38 million kilograms of pesticides are used annually in Brazilian coffee production.

And since 2019, 475 new pesticides have been approved in Brazil. More than a third of these are not approved in the EU due to their toxicity.

Common sense, does it prevail? Or is it just a theory, a deeply regarded and respected theory never to be implemented in Chlamydia Capitalism?

“The coffee plant originated thousands of years ago in an environment shaded by a rich array of plants, shrubs and trees in southwestern Ethiopia. This is the traditional way Ethiopian farmers grow coffee. It often has the advantages of minimizing pests and diseases while strengthening plant health, biodiversity and ecosystems,” says Athina Koutouleas, a newly graduated Ph.D. fellow at the University of Copenhagen’s Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management.

Furthermore, agroforestry diversifies a farmer’s income revenues as profits can be earned on both the coffee beans and secondary farm products such as wood, livestock feed or fodder and other tropical cash crops such as vanilla or cinnamon.

“The challenge may be that some pests and diseases will tend to thrive in such a system. So, deciding on which combination of plants and trees offers the most value for the farmer and must be carefully planned. For example, should fast-growing banana trees be planted or hardwoods that can be harvested for timber? Thus, the cultivation method must be adapted to local needs. It is no magic bullet, but in my view, it’s the most sensible one,” says Koutouleas.

It’s not necessarily a Jewish question, but then Starbucks, Schultz, the anti-union CEO, Jewish and his hand is in this coffee world. Another Jew, Bernie, criticizing Howard: (Sources)

Public scrutiny is brewing for former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz on Wednesday as he testifies before a Senate committee about the company’s alleged anti-union practices.

In the last few years, as some workers for the coffee roaster and cafe chain have made high-profile attempts to unionize, the company has permanently closed stores where they worked and fired people who were helping organize. The company has consistently denied firing any employees or closing stores due to organizing activity.

“Workers have the constitutional right to organize unions and engage in collective bargaining to improve their wages and working conditions,” Sen. Bernie Sanders, chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, said March 7 during a news briefing. “Unfortunately, Starbucks, under Mr. Schultz’s leadership, has done everything in their power to prevent that from happening.”

Howard Schultz, who stepped down as Starbucks CEO this month, originally declined to testify before a Senate committee, bu...

Does it count or matter or inform me or you to know and acknowledge that both are Jewish, and what shall we do with that information, and how to file Jewishness into their very being, into what makes them men? It doesn’t take a Jew to be mean, dirty, criminal, perverse: that is a characteristic of capitalists of every ethnicity, background, religious faith, race, what have you.

Does it matter that the head of the AMA is Gay, openly so, and Jewish? Yep.

Dr. Jesse Ehrenfeld — an anesthesiologist, Navy veteran and father — made history this week when he was inaugurated as the new president of the American Medical Association, becoming the first openly gay leader of the nation’s largest group of physicians and medical students.

“So after three years of experiencing so much stress, with COVID, you know, we’ve had a ‘twindemic:’ a pandemic of the disease, plus a pandemic of misinformation, and bad information,” Ehrenfeld told CBS News of some of the top issues facing physicians today. 

With a flick of the hands, he deems any discussion about the so-called pandemic a twindemic — a pandemic of misinformation and bad information. With a flick of his hand.

  • A South Carolina teacher’s lesson was shut down after students complained they were uncomfortable.
  • The AP English lesson included reading Ta-Nehisi Coates’ 2015 memoir on racism “Between the World and Me.”
  • PEN America called the removal of Coates’ work “an outrageous act of government censorship.”

A South Carolina teacher’s AP lesson that would have used Ta-Nehisi Coates’ 2015 memoir “Between the World and Me” was shut down after students complained the material made them uncomfortable and could violate state laws by discussing systemic racism.

This past spring, Chapin High School English teacher Mary Wood included Coates’ book in her lesson plan before the AP English Language exam, according to lesson plans and documents obtained by The State.

The lesson asked students to analyze Coates’ arguments in “Between the World and Me,” specifically around systemic racism in America — but students complained that videos they watched before reading the book made them “uncomfortable,” according to the documents, The State said.

“I actually felt ashamed to be Caucasian,” one student said to the school board, The State reported. “These videos portrayed an inaccurate description of life from past centuries that she is trying to resurface. I don’t feel as though it is right because these videos showed antiquated history. I understand in AP Lang, we are learning to develop an argument and have evidence to support it, yet this topic is too heavy to discuss.” (source)

Before the unwinding, more than 1 in 4 Americans — 93 million — were covered by Medicaid or CHIP, the Children’s Health Insurance Program

Forget about 600,000 Americans now floundering for health care coverage, with the flick of a mouse pad.

More than 600,000 Americans have lost Medicaid coverage since pandemic protections ended on April 1. The overwhelming majority of people who have lost coverage in most states were dropped because of technicalities, not because state officials determined they no longer meet Medicaid income limits. Four out of every five people dropped so far either never returned the paperwork or omitted required documents, according to a KFF Health News analysis of data from 11 states that provided details on recent cancellations. Now, lawmakers and advocates are expressing alarm over the volume of people losing coverage and, in some states, calling to pause the process.

His agency has directed states to automatically reenroll residents using data from other government programs like unemployment and food assistance when possible. Anyone who can’t be approved through that process must act quickly.

“For the past three years, people have been told to ignore the mail around this, that the renewal was not going to lead to a termination.” Suddenly that mail matters, he said.

Federal law requires states to tell people why they’re losing Medicaid coverage and how to appeal the decision.

Miriam Harmatz, advocacy director and founder of the Florida Health Justice Project, said some cancellation notices in Florida are vague and could violate due process rules. Letters that she’s seen say “your Medicaid for this period is ending” rather than providing a specific reason for disenrollment, like having too high an income or incomplete paperwork.

Oh, sure, Toothless in Wisconsin, look at the series here and here and here — Read my past posts, man:

I left my buddy, KK, in River Falls, Wisconsin. Funny, I just told the guy I have a few retirement (sic, haha) funds (joke-joke) with, and he’s from Minnesota, and I told him I just came back from his neck of the woods, and he, slam dunk, said, “Dude, you came from Cheese Head Wisconsin, man, that place isn’t Minnesota.”

Ya know I talk about this ALL the time — the regional chauvanism, until Florida is the shit hole with all those snow birds and old New Yorkers and New Jersey double dippers clogging the entire joke of a state.

“My city is better than your city . . . my state is better than your state.”

Sure, my KK calls Wisconsin the Arkansas of the north, and, hmm, I suppose Montana and California are dream lands in paradiso?

In any case, services, man, for this social security recepient, vacant or never there.

He lost his wife less than a year ago. He has family, including daughters, estanging themselves from him. He has a house of hoarding situation. He almost amputated his index finger helping hitch up a trailer. He can’t drive because he fought the law and the law is sucking him dry.

So, he’s all alone, and can’t get to the grocery store, has appointments with a hand doctor, and the local “medical-county-aging” transportation is unreliable. He needs a new furnace, and there are no places that have assistance for aging in place folk like KK.

The lawn needs mowing, and there are no churches or other safety nets to assist. Meals on wheels, well, you have to go to the local private adult facility to get a meal for “free.”

Many state and local governments are underserving and failing to protect their lowest-income residents, which not only increases hardship for families but also harms states’ overall economic growth.

While not a comprehensive list of steps to bolster the safety net and reduce regional inequity, this report presents the following state and federal policy recommendations:

  • Increase benefit levels, particularly in the form of direct cash assistance.
  • Expand eligibility and outreach for safety net programs and ease onerous administrative burdens so that all individuals and families who need the aid receive it.
  • Raise asset limits and earned income disregards to offset potential benefit cliffs.
  • Properly invest in administrative improvements to expand capacity and avoid huge backlogs such as those seen at UI agencies during the pandemic.
  • Streamline application and navigation processes so recipients applying for or enrolling in one safety net program are automatically enrolled in other programs they would be eligible for.
  • Raise the minimum wage and eliminate subminimum wages.
  • Support unionization efforts and worker bargaining power by passing laws such as the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act.
  • Expand worker protections with laws such as paid family and medical leave, paid time off, fair scheduling practices, just cause employment, and the banning of forced arbitration and noncompete clauses.
  • Implement or expand refundable state-level supplements to the EITC, CTC, and child and dependent care tax credit (CDCTC), and make the federal expansions to these programs under the American Rescue Plan permanent. (sources)

This is the out of sight, out of mind deal, but unfortunately we have boderline personality disorder and sociopathy and narcissism and perversion baked into the DNA of T. Blinken or Pete B., the lot of them on both sides of the manure pile.

So toothless in Wisconsin is toothless in Georgia, don’t you know: DCG students, residents, and faculty volunteered in Louisville, Georgia, for the Remote Area Medical (RAM) clinic for the underserved. The providers donated $122,000 worth of care to 208 patients. (source)

So, every nanosecond smeared in the media valorizing or publicizing all of them, the cult of celebrity, the dirty 100 million, name ‘em, any Jordan Peterson, Trump, every politician, every marketeer, every Jamie Dimon, every Soros and Bloomberg and Clinton and, well, name your stupid thief and murder incorporated muderer, and then the entire shit show of ZioAzovLensky and depleted uranium gifts of birth defects from dirtier UK and USA, you should be fucking sharpening your pitchforks.

The great hyper-power, Un-United Snake$ of Amnesia and Chaos and Penury and War. We have shit for brains running the country, state by state!

Remote Area Medical (RAM) is a major nonprofit provider of free pop-up clinics. Our mission is to prevent pain and alleviate suffering by providing free, quality healthcare to those in need. We do this by delivering free dental, vision and medical services to underserved and uninsured individuals. Since RAM was founded in 1985, over 196,000 volunteers – comprised of professional practitioners, as well as general support staff – have treated more than 900,000 individuals delivering more than $189.5 million worth of free healthcare services.

Medicine Man!

Toothless in Wisconsin, well, he hangs in there, and he sits with his dog Elldee, and he calls weekly, and we text, and we swap political stuff, and talk about next steps after he gets off paper, you know, that dirty probation shit — he’s almost 66 years old!

There is no more Stan Brock because he’s DOA, and RAM is a great organization, but not enough, not enough, not enough for the HUGE need and growing future needs of this shit hole USA. Patchwork USA, with D-minus infrastructure, closing addiction centers left and right, closing schools left and right and now left with threadbare and dysfunctional few and far between aging and disabilities services. Wisconsin, that gritty cheese smile state, full of toothless meth, toothless booze, man, and read my past shit on Substack while it’s free and while I can still publish before the brown shirts take my ass out back and .357 magnum my ass back to Commie Heaven.

Ahh, one transition to another, today, but it makes sense to me, kind reader — Indian Country bought and sold once again by the Holocaust Industry, the lies of Jews and Israel, and nary a word about other dark skinned people who were forced off their homeland and now all the murdering of children, old people, youth and doctors and press, that Isra-Hell. Sickness on the Rez:

The Riverwinds told The Media Line that they are inspired by the story of the Jewish people and Israel—the story of an exiled people who returned and settled in their native homeland. “The story of the Jewish people, the indigenous people of Judea, brings us hope. For a tribal nation that has been able to return home, to their sacred sites, their culture, their tradition, their language,” said Riverwind.

Shame on them, shame shame shame: And they are stupid, unawake with eyes wide shut!

Listen to Cornel, not the great black hope, but his story, and his commitment to Palestine, these two dudes above should crawl away, man.

West, a longtime political activist who has been critical of Republicans and Democrats over the years, mentioned President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump – the likely Democratic and Republican 2024 presidential nominees – in his pitch to voters and positioned himself as an alternative candidate.

“We’re talking about empowering those who have been pushed to the margins because neither political party wants to tell the truth about Wall Street, about Ukraine, about the Pentagon, about big tech,” said West. 

The campaign ad includes comments West made about Trump and Biden in previous interviews, in which he called Trump a “gangster” and “neo-fascist” and Biden a “milquetoast neo-liberal.”

Cornel West, known for evoking messages of “love” when talking about politics, positioned his presidential campaign as one rooted in caring for others.

“I care about the quality of your life,” said the former Harvard and Yale professor who identifies as a Democratic socialist. “I care about whether you have access to a job with a living wage, decent housing, women having control over their bodies, health care for all, the escalating destruction of the planet, the destruction of American democracy.”

While West’s campaign announcement may come as a surprise to some, he has long been critical of political leaders, particularly those residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. 

Despite previously supporting then-Senator Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, the activist withdrew his support of Obama and infamously criticized the 44th president of the United States during a 2011 interview. West chastised President Obama on his economic policies, calling him “a Black mascot of Wall Street oligarchs and a Black muppet of corporate plutocrats.”

That’s the reality we have here, all those on the attack against Cornel, as if the democrats have the votes as part of their DNA, born with votes, and no one else can come in and challenge them. Listen to him take on the stupidity of the spoiler shit thrown at Nader and Jill Stein, and now him.

This shit hole country, and West is in it — presidential bread and circus — to be of and with the poor.

The geographic distribution of inequality is complex

One important geographic point likely understates the findings here. Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia are all grouped as located within the South, following definitions from the U.S. Census Bureau. However, many political economy analyses would define these as non-Southern, mid-Atlantic states. Over the past half century or so, Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia—as well as Virginia in more recent years—have generally been more supportive of safety net programs and anti-poverty policies than the states that make up the remainder of the Southern region. This disparity can be observed over many of the charts in the interactive above. Similarly, there is significant variation within the Western region. For example, the Pacific Coast states—Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington—are much more hospitable to labor unions than others in the region. By grouping states into just four regions with the boundaries drawn the way they are, the disparities and regional inequities are muted and may be starker if the boundaries were adjusted accordingly.

Stan Brock might be Medicine Man, but Cornel West is Spirit Man, Blues Man, Philosopher for the Poor People, Man! Listen to him on Black Agenda Report.

Listen to West talk about the spineless RFK, Jr., posing with radical racist Jewish Rabbi and also denouncing Roger Waters. And I will do my out now as a tribute to writers, and a Substack guy from Berlin, to remind you the thought police, the Gestapo, the mind scarfers are here and now. C.J. Hopkins? This is beyond a travesty, not just what the black booted Krauts are doing to him, but the fact presstitutes and media mush are not covering this infamy: Find him at Substack, https://substack.com/@cjhopkins

“First Roger Waters, Now This: Germany Places American C.J. Hopkins Under Investigation: An American playwright faces jail for two vanished tweets. Q&A with the author about his ugly present, and our probable future.”

They ain’t talking about this in Toothless in Wisconsin or Muder in Minnesota: Matt Taibbi,

It’s become axiomatic that the United States “lags far behind” Europe when it comes to hate speech law. Everyone from Joe Biden to would-be disinformation Czarina Nina Jankowicz to New York Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger have suggested the United States needs to move more in Europe’s direction, toward stricter rules and “illegal hate speech,” which “you will have soon also in the U.S.,” as European Commission Vice President for Values Vera Jourova put it at the Davos conference this year.

It makes sense. After all, who’s for hate speech? What possible downside can there be to disallowing expressions of racism, antisemitism, xenophobia, transphobia?

C.J. Hopkins can answer that. Following a similar case involving Roger Waters, the American playwright, Substack contributor, and editor of Consent Factory has been placed under investigation by a Berlin prosecutor for tweeting an image of his book, The Rise of the New Normal Reich. A scathing criticism of global pandemic policy, his cover features a white mask with a white swastika you have to squint to see:

ARE YOU FUCKING PISSED OFF yet????@@@$$$%%%%###

I Wish I Was a Rothschild, don’t you know!

The song “If I Were a Rich Man, ” well, Shraga Friedman used Sholom Aleichem’s version, “If I Were a Rothschild.”

Wikipedia: “If I Were a Rich Man” is a show tune from the 1964 musical Fiddler on the Roof. It was written by Sheldon Harnick and Jerry Bock. The song is performed by Tevye, the main character in the musical, and reflects his dreams of glory.

The title is inspired by a 1902 monologue by Sholem Aleichem in YiddishVen ikh bin Rothschild (Yiddish: װען איך בין ראָטשילד; lit. “If I were a Rothschild”), a reference to the wealth of the Rothschild family, although the content is quite different. The lyric is based in part on passages from Sholem Aleichem’s 1899 short story “The Bubble Bursts.” Both stories appeared in English in the 1949 collection of stories Tevye’s Daughters.

Hmm, those Rothschilds:

Reveals how the Rothschild Banking Dynasty fomented war and assassination attempts on 4 presidents in order to create the Federal Reserve Bank

Explains how the Rothschild family began the War of 1812 because Congress failed to renew a 20-year charter for their Central Bank as well as how the ensuing debt of the war forced Congress to renew the charter

Details Andrew Jackson’s anti-bank presidential campaigns, his war on Rothschild agents within the government, and his successful defeat of the Central Bank

Reveals how the Rothschilds spurred the Civil War and were behind the assassination of Lincoln In this startling investigation into the suppressed history of America in the 1800s, Xaviant Haze reveals how the powerful Rothschild banking family and the Central Banking System, now known as the Federal Reserve Bank, provide a continuous thread of connection between the War of 1812, the Civil War, the financial crises of the 1800s, and assassination attempts on Presidents Jackson and Lincoln.

The author reveals how the War of 1812 began after Congress failed to renew a 20-year charter for the Central Bank. After the war, the ensuing debt forced Congress to grant the central banking scheme another 20-year charter. The author explains how this spurred General Andrew Jackson–fed up with the central bank system and Nathan Rothschild’s control of Congress–to enter politics and become president in 1828. Citing the financial crises engineered by the banks, Jackson spent his first term weeding out Rothschild agents from the government.

After being re-elected to a 2nd term with the slogan “Jackson and No Bank,” he became the only president to ever pay off the national debt. When the Central Bank’s charter came up for renewal in 1836, he successfully rallied Congress to vote against it. The author explains how, after failing to regain their power politically, the Rothschilds plunged the country into Civil War.

He shows how Lincoln created a system allowing the U.S. to furnish its own money, without need for a Central Bank, and how this led to his assassination by a Rothschild agent. With Lincoln out of the picture, the Rothschilds were able to wipe out his prosperous monetary system, which plunged the country into high unemployment and recession and laid the foundation for the later formation of the Federal Reserve Bank–a banking scheme still in place in America today”– Provided by publisher.

And so, this Sheindlin, what a complete misanthrope of a, hmm, Rothschild? I was watching some old episodes on Facebook, and man, one she just screams, threatenes, spits and claws when some Goyim might talk back, or, err, debate with her. Judges, no?

Judith Sheindlin occupies a nearly divine perch in television. The 5-foot-2 family-court judge — known for her black robe, lace collar, and acid tongue — has been doling out tough-love legal verdicts since the Clinton administration, and the approach has paid off. She brought in a whopping $47 million a year for just 52 days a year of filming at CBS, and she has held onto the sort of cultural cachet that has eluded many of her contemporaries.

Following a public dispute with CBS — said to be over money and, improbably, Drew Barrymore’s talk show — “Judge Judy” wrapped in spring of this year. Amazon quickly stepped in, paying Sheindlin an estimated $25 million for 120 new episodes of “Judy Justice,” which the company hopes will serve as a cornerstone of its IMDb TV free streaming service. The deal was reportedly the largest-ever first-season order of a single show by a streamer. “Judy Justice” launched on Monday. 

But some of Sheindlin’s former colleagues, dating back to the mid-aughts until the show wrapped, say she failed to hold the line against racism, sexual harassment, and abuse at her own show. An Insider investigation involving interviews with 16 former “Judge Judy” employees, as well as a review of thousands of pages of court records, has found that Sheindlin’s long-standing executive producer and director Randy Douthit has repeatedly been accused of sexually harassing employees, making inappropriate sexual comments to female staffers, offering preferential treatment to staffers he found attractive, and ordering junior producers to bring fewer Black litigants on the show.

The former employees who spoke to Insider described an unrelenting high-pressure environment behind the scenes at the show. They accused Douthit and his deputies — the supervising producer Victoria Jenest and the co-executive producer Amy Freisleben — of fostering a workplace culture in which staffers were pitted against one another, threats of termination were frequent, drinking during work hours was not unusual, cases were manipulated to artificially increase the drama, and a vicious contempt for litigants who appeared before Sheindlin was common.

You know, the chosenness and the tribalism and the amazing consistent patronizing and demeaning quality of some of the bat and bar mitzvah folk is for me, old new, but then, Goyim seems to like to be slapped down. Look at the dirty Judy, or how about Rahm?

The anger, old Judge (sic) Judy, the screaming, the I-above-the-law-of-all dictatorial way.

But Emanuel’s belligerence has also landed him in hot water, and it has often hampered his political relationships more than it has made him an effective, if grating, operator.

As Obama’s White House chief of staff in 2009, Emanuel told a meeting of liberal groups that it would be “fucking retarded” for them to run ads attacking Democratic senators skeptical of the administration’s health care reform efforts; the sparked an outcry from advocates for the intellectually disabled.

Two years later, after leaving the White House and becoming mayor, Emanuel was meeting with Chicago Teachers Union president Karen Lewis, who opposed Emanuel’s proposal for longer school days. After listening to Lewis air her concerns, Emanuel thundered, “Fuck you, Lewis!” The two were not on speaking terms for two years after the incident.

Brother Cornel, called “fucking retarded” by this psychopath, Biden’s ambassador (sic) to Japan (sic — read vassal).

Obama and West’s last personal contact took place a year ago at a gathering of the Urban League when, he says, Obama “cussed me out.” Obama, after his address, which promoted his administration’s championing of charter schools, approached West, who was seated in the front row.

“He makes a bee line to me right after the talk, in front of everybody,” West says. “He just lets me have it. He says, ‘You ought to be ashamed of yourself, saying I’m not a progressive. Is that the best you can do? Who do you think you are?’ I smiled. I shook his hand. And a sister hollered in the back, ‘You can’t talk to professor West. That’s Dr. Cornel West. Who do you think you are?’ You can go to jail talking to the president like that. You got to watch yourself. I wanted to slap him on the side of his head.

“It was so disrespectful,” he went on, “that’s what I didn’t like. I’d already been called, along with all [other] leftists, a “F’ing retard” by Rahm Emanuel because we had critiques of the president.”

Valerie Jarrett, a senior adviser to the president, has, West said, phoned him to complain about his critiques of Obama. Jarrett was especially perturbed, West says, when he said in an interview last year that he saw a lot of Malcolm X and Ella Baker in Michelle Obama. Jarrett told him his comments were not complimentary to the first lady.

“I said in the world that I live in, in that which authorizes my reality, Ella Baker is a towering figure,” he says, munching Fritos and sipping apple juice at his desk. “If I say there is a lot of Ella Baker in Michelle Obama, that’s a compliment. She can take it any way she wants. I can tell her I’m sorry it offended you, but I’m going to speak the truth. She is a Harvard Law graduate, a Princeton graduate, and she deals with child obesity and military families. Why doesn’t she visit a prison? Why not spend some time in the hood? That is where she is, but she can’t do it.

What? More on that Judy?

Nearly all of the people who end up on the show are poor or close to indigency, collapsing under mountains of debt as they struggle to keep up with demands of landlords, children and former spouses. Blouses have stains; some teeth are crooked or missing; pressed suits fall uncomfortably off the shoulders of those who have clearly been advised to ​“clean themselves up” for court. Judge Judy awarded a maximum payout of $5,000, an amount that has been doubled on Judy Justice; it’s likely the higher sum is designed to attract more participants. The show also flies people to California, all expenses paid.

In exchange for their appearance, participants agree to be humiliated and berated for the supposed choices that landed them there. They are screamed at by a woman who only works five days a month and who, after the shooting is done, hops on her private plane to jet back to one of her two homes in Naples, Fla. and Greenwich, Conn.

Episodes 25 and 26, for instance, linger over a dispute between two Black women whose families had taken a shared vacation in Florida. The plaintiff appears to claim the defendant still owes her money, though it’s hard to tell what the real issue is even after multiple viewings — because matters escalate quickly, with everyone screaming. Sheindlin asks probing questions that are unrelated to whatever the case might be but allow her to moralize. At one point, she wants to know whether the plaintiff drank while at dinner at an Applebee’s. When the woman says she had a glass of wine, Sheindlin prods her into confessing she may have had two. Sheindlin, in the manner of a nun, points out that wine lowers inhibitions. None of this information is related to the case, but Sheindlin is a white boomer multimillionaire who appears to sincerely believe her success is owed to her and that anyone who suffers deserves it. She has the air of the elder white Karen stereotype, the one who wears expensive athleisure on morning walks and picks up errant tin cans and places them in the trash while looking around to see which person (preferably someone of color) can be glared at accusingly. (In These Times)

At this point, Sheindlin lets out a ​“gotcha!” laugh and shares a smirk with her staff. Then she launches into a rant about what’s wrong with America: ​“The fact that you’re getting the same amount for not working as you did when you were working means that there’s something wrong with the government, which is why nobody can get anything done around this country now because everybody says, ​‘We don’t have to work, now I can stay home, I can be a homemaker when I’m 26 years old.’ ”

Sheindlin’s contempt here is no surprise. She’s made similar comments before and once campaigned for Michael Bloomberg, who believed the poor needed to be taxed more so they would change their behavior and somehow, maybe, become less poor.

As she makes her judgment in favor of the mother, Sheindlin can’t resist getting in more digs at Araujo. ​“She needs a car because she’s a homemaker.” Then a stinging insult: ​“You’re 26 and you have four kids? Yeah, you have enough children for a while.”

This kind of eugenicist talk is directed at a young woman who doesn’t make for a particularly sympathetic figure as she rolls her eyes and insists her Social Security-dependent mother could easily pay for the procedure. The audience in the courtroom laps it all up, laughing every time the judge hurls another insult at Araujo, who stands seemingly unmoved by the vitriol. Afterward, Levy begins with what purports to be a sympathetic note, saying about Araujo, ​“The defendant and I are practically the same age and I couldn’t imagine trying to prioritize yourself that young with four children at such a young age, so that must be difficult. But priorities are always key. What do you think?” (Of course, this is like asking Rep. Lauren Boebert what she thinks of Muslims.) Sheindlin sighs, ​“You [should] think with your brain before you have a bunch of kids, with two fathers. The children who are the innocents always suffer —

This is the Stockholm Syndrome of the poorly educated, poorly supported Goyim, those watching this shit, like those who watch Cops and the other shows highlighting the deplorable.

Imagine TV shows highlighting all the attorneys fucking society, all the ambulance chasers in New York, all those union busting lawyers, all those lawyers working to protect the Chlamydia Capitalists and their dirty, murderous and cancerous products, services, things.

How about a couple of series on the Jewish Occupiers bulldozing homes, shooting children, capping doctors’ knees with butterfly bullets.

Those values:

Hospitals in Gaza are continuing to struggle with the thousands of patients who were wounded by the Israeli military just this week alone. Now, again, in the six weeks of these nonviolent protests in Gaza, over a hundred Palestinians have been killed, over 12,000 wounded. This is Ayman al-Sahbani, the director of the emergency room at Shifa Hospital.

DR. AYMAN AL-SAHBANI: [translated] The emergency department at Shifa medical center received the biggest number of these injuries. We received almost 500 injuries, while the capacity of the emergency department is 20 beds, or 20 injuries. We are talking about 25 times as much of the capacity of the emergency department, with all the big challenges and the shortage in medicine and the medical supplies that reached critical levels.

Values, maybe, a new Netflix series on those fuckers, on the Palestinians fighting for a right to return:

This large number of Palestinians being shot around the knee by soldiers, probably leaving them disabled for life, reminded everyone of many others who had been injured in a similar way in earlier raids.

“On the news, you hear there were no fatalities, only wounded people, so everyone relaxes without realizing the suffering we’re going through,” says N., 23, in conversation with Haaretz. He says he was hit in the leg by live fire two years ago while rescuing another injured person and carrying him to safety. There was talk of amputating his leg, but he was determined to save it and found appropriate treatment in Germany. He still limps around on a crutch, but doesn’t mention the pain.

How would Judge Judy adjudicate these criminals? Would she yell at the IDF? Nah.

This is the self-pounding that Americans have entered into, thanks to decades of bad schooling, the nanny state, the controllers like Judy and Rahm, and millions in the in the driver’s seat of education, culture, law, media, finance. This In These Times article will not look at Judy’s background, her despise of Goyim, her own tribal roots.

Like its predecessor, Judy Justice is cruel and contemptuous toward the poor, but Sheindlin’s cruelty and contempt have earned her devoted fans among regular viewers and celebrities (including Amy PoehlerNicki Minaj and Samuel L. Jackson).

Ahh, those people, those elites: Poverty, according to the show, and that is according to Judy, is a result of individual choices; anyone who’s struggling deserves to spend the rest of their lives in misery. It’s not ​“justice” it peddles but the spectacle of people’s lives as they spin out of control.

They don’t all have to be Jewish, these cretins and racists:

Bill Cosby made headlines in May 920040 when he upbraided some poor blacks for their grammar and accused them of squandering opportunities the civil rights movement gave them. He shot back Thursday, saying his detractors were trying in vain to hide the black community’s “dirty laundry.”

“Let me tell you something, your dirty laundry gets out of school at 2:30 every day, it’s cursing and calling each other n—— as they’re walking up and down the street,” Cosby said during an appearance at the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition & Citizenship Education Fund’s annual conference.

“They think they’re hip,” the entertainer said. “They can’t read; they can’t write. They’re laughing and giggling, and they’re going nowhere.”

He also had harsh words for black men who don’t have jobs and are angry about their lives.

‘Stop beating up your women’
“You’ve got to stop beating up your women because you can’t find a job, because you didn’t want to get an education and now you’re (earning) minimum wage,” Cosby said. “You should have thought more of yourself when you were in high school, when you had an opportunity.”

In his remarks in May at a commemoration of the anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education desegregation decision, Cosby denounced some blacks’ grammar and said those who commit crimes and wind up behind bars “are not political prisoners.”

“I can’t even talk the way these people talk, ‘Why you ain’t,’ ‘Where you is’ … and I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk,” Cosby said then. “And then I heard the father talk … Everybody knows it’s important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can’t be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth.”

Cosby elaborated Thursday on his previous comments in a talk interrupted several times by applause. He castigated some blacks, saying that they cannot simply blame whites for problems such as teen pregnancy and high school dropout rates. (source)

Those Cosby Family values: “A complete list of the 60 Bill Cosby accusers and their reactions to his prison sentence”

Oh yeah, those family values lawyers and judges and posectuors: Editor’s Note: On June 30, 2021, Pennsylvania’s highest courtoverturned Bill Cosby’s sex assault conviction and Cosby was released from a state prison hours later. This story, last updated on Sept. 26, 2018, does not reflect a complete list of Cosby’s accusers and is their reactions to his sentencing on Sept. 25, 2018.

That piece of human stain:

Oh, that Black Barak?

“The rhetoric of West has been so strident and so personal…people think he’s gone a bit overboard…that his criticism has been relentless,” he said.

For example, in a 2011 interview with Truthdig.com, West called Obama “a Black mascot of Wall Street oligarchs and a Black puppet of corporate plutocrats.” In November 2012, he told Democracy Now that Obama was a “Rockefeller Republican in blackface.”

West said that part of his acrimony toward the president was based on a feeling of personal betrayal. After campaigning for Obama in 2008, the president failed to return his calls and did not provide him and his family with tickets to the inauguration, he said.

“What it said to me…,” West told Truthdig, “was that brother Barack Obama had no sense of gratitude, no sense of loyalty, no sense of even courtesy…Is this the kind of manipulative, Machiavellian orientation we ought to get used to?” (source)

Ahh, scolding the Blacks, Barak:

“It is hard to avoid the conclusion that this White House has one way of addressing the social ills that afflict black people—and particularly black youth—and another way of addressing everyone else,” wrote Ta-Nehisi Coates in a much-discussed essay in The Atlantic in 2013 . “I would have a hard time imagining the president telling the women of Barnard that ‘there’s no longer room for any excuses’—as though they were in the business of making them. Barack Obama is, indeed, the president of ‘all America,’ but he also is singularly the scold of ‘black America.’”

Even his George W. Bush Loving Wife has her racist moments:

The first lady went to Bowie State and addressed the graduating class. Her speech was a mix of black history and a salute to the graduates. There was also this:

“But today, more than 150 years after the Emancipation Proclamation, more than 50 years after the end of “separate but equal,” when it comes to getting an education, too many of our young people just can’t be bothered. Today, instead of walking miles every day to school, they’re sitting on couches for hours playing video games, watching TV. Instead of dreaming of being a teacher or a lawyer or a business leader, they’re fantasizing about being a baller or a rapper.”

And then this:

“If the school in your neighborhood isn’t any good, don’t just accept it. Get in there, fix it. Talk to the parents. Talk to the teachers. Get business and community leaders involved as well, because we all have a stake in building schools worthy of our children’s promise.

… And as my husband has said often, please stand up and reject the slander that says a black child with a book is trying to act white. Reject that.”

There’s a lot wrong here. “How the Obama administration talks to black America”

Then look at this piece of shit scoulder, a dangerous one like Obama:

There are special circles of hell reserved for Judy and Joe and Rahm and Bill and, well, it’s a ten fold Super Bowl Sunday stadium packed with criminals like Henry, Richard, Obama, Donald.

Trump?

The so-called Central Park Five were accused in 1989 of sexually assaulting a woman in New York. The information was incorrect in an earlier version of this story.

In 1989, five Black and Latino teenagers were wrongly convicted of assaulting and raping a white woman in New York’s Central Park. At the time, New York real estate businessman Donald Trump bought a full-page ad in the New York Times calling for the state to adopt the death penalty.

Although the ad did not explicitly call for the five boys — who became known as the Central Park Five — to face the death penalty, Trump repeatedly spoke out about the case, and, according to The New York Times, made clear that he was voicing this opinion because of the assault. 

“I want to hate these murderers and I always will,” Trump wrote in his ad. “I am not looking to psychoanalyze or understand them, I am looking to punish them.”

On Thursday, shortly after the former president was indicted by a grand jury in Manhattan, one of the men from the Central Park Five called the change of events “karma.” 

“For those asking about my statement on the indictment of Donald Trump — who never said sorry for calling for my execution — here it is: Karma,” Yusef Salaam, now a candidate for New York City Council, tweeted on Thursday. 

Nixon, Kissinger?

Tape recordings of conversations between Richard Nixon, the disgraced former United States president, and some of his top advisers during the first six months of 1972 have revealed him excoriating Jews and liberals and musing about dropping a nuclear bomb on North Vietnam.

In one segment of about 500 hours of discussions released by the National Archives, Nixon is heard discussing an extension of bombing raids over North Vietnam with Henry Kissinger, the national security adviser. Then, rather abruptly, he says: “I’d rather use the nuclear bomb.” Whether Nixon was serious or trying to provoke Mr Kissinger is not clear. In his baritone voice, his adviser replies: “That, I think, would just be too much.” But Nixon then goes on: “The nuclear bomb. Does that bother you? I just want you to think big.”

Reports of the recordings stirred a strong reaction from the Vietnamese government yesterday as well as from other corners of South-east Asia.

Phan Thuy Thanh, a Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, said: “This is new evidence showing the formidable cruelty of some hawkish forces within the US administration against the Vietnamese people during the US war of aggression against Vietnam.” Khoo Khay Kim, a history professor at the University of Malaya in Kuala Lumpur, said: “Asians in general would say, ‘Thank God Nixon did not get his way’.” (source)

Fucking Kissinger?

The Intercept:

Jews and their screaming: I wish they’d keep it to themselves as this rabbi suggests,

Essentially a Jewish meditation practice, hitbodedut (Hebrew: התבודדות‎) comes from the Hebrew root meaning “to seclude.” The Ashkenazic pronunciation is hisboydedes or hisboydedus or hisbodedus (honestly I have no idea the difference between those three, I’m going with heet-bo-deh-doot) and the Sephardic pronunciation is hitbodedút.

Here’s how Rabbi Nachman describes hitbodedut: “Hitbodedut consists of conversation with God. One can pour out their words before their Creator. This can include complaints, excuses, or words seeking grace, acceptance and reconciliation. One must beg and plead that God bring them close and allow them to serve God in truth. One’s conversation with God should be in the everyday language that they normally use.”

For Nachman, the practice was done best alone, at night, and in nature. You would pour your heart out to God — and nothing was too mundane to discuss. If you don’t feel like speaking, you can just say one word, he suggested.

But Nachman also advised on something called the “silent scream”: “Just imagine the sound of such a scream in your mind. Depict the shout in your imagination exactly as it would sound. Keep this up until you are literally screaming with this soundless ‘small still voice.’ This is actually a scream and not mere imagination.” (Reader, the first time I tried this, I screamed out loud accidentally. I guess it takes practice.) [Sources]

Finally, more shits in the world, Maher and, Sam Harris, and . . . Yelling yelling yelling.

famous last words: the costs upfront are profits next for the titans of tyrants, and the externalities will titrate deep into your soul, into your unborn generations’ souls

You know parasitic capitalism is the cancer on the world — when the dirty thugs and polluters poison our schools, man?

Merrimack Valley High School serves around 900 students and is located in the village of Penacook, an unincorporated area inside the city of Concord, New Hampshire.

Cured-in-place pipe lining creates a new pipe inside an old one by inserting a soft, resin-soaked liner into the existing structure, inflating it with pressurized air, then heating it so it hardens. Because it’s faster and less expensive than traditional pipe rehabilitation, cities across the country are turning to cured-in-place contractors to upgrade their old underground lines. 

But those cost savings can come at a price.

Hazardous air pollutants released during the heating process can enter homes, schools and other buildings and sicken the people inside. 

Styrene, a probable carcinogen and key ingredient in many cured-in-place projects, can be especially toxic and causes a constellation of symptoms like those reported at Merrimack Valley High School – headaches, nausea, vomiting, loss of balance and, sometimes, unconsciousness. 

Similar exposures across the country have landed people in the hospital, required building evacuations and sparked claims of lasting injuries and even death, USA TODAY found. 

Sarena Quintanilla, whose daughter attends Merrimack Valley High School, said the teen suffered severe congestion with a burning in her sinuses and throat after the incident. Even now, weeks later, Quintanilla said, her daughter continues to experience headaches that she believes stemmed from exposure to the fumes. (source)

Read the USA Today article. READ it. You will never ever get people quoted in it who say this is unfettered toxic capitalism on parade, and that these techno-chemical “fixes” are at a cost TOO high for a society.

No discussion in the article about how we have gutted infrastructure writ large because we are a casino capitalism system of revolving doors and captured agencies, and that the only solution is to flip the fucking script and end this predatory privatization of everything system of grand theft everything; to stop the degregulation, to end the Poison Ivy League creeps steering this country into a black hole of emptiness.

A D-minus from civil engineers? This is it for USA Today? Never ever will the inverted crappy pyramid of junk journalism talk about how zero tolerance should be the rule, that is, precautionary principle and do no harm, and that we just need to send home the bloody merchants of death in 800 proxy warring bases, and get this country to BUILD something, to WORK on the flagging communities, our crumbling sea walls, the collapsing highway bridges, the urban-rural-wildland interfacing where hundreds of millions of dollars “worth” of homes and infrastructure are at risk for wildland fires.

The entire plastics and polymers industry is dirty, cancerous, a system of deaths by 10,000 genetic (genotoxic) and endrocrine CUTS:

Cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) is the most popular water pipe repair method used in the U.S. for sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and is increasingly being used for drinking water pipe repairs. Today, approximately 50% of all damaged pipes are being repaired using CIPP technology. The CIPP procedure involves the chemical manufacture of a new plastic pipe called a CIPP inside a damaged water pipe. Before CIPP installation, workers precut and lay-up the felt and fiberglass liner and saturate it with a polyester, vinyl ester, or epoxy resin. The resin is sometimes mixed by hand or using an automated mechanical mixer, manually poured or drawn into the precut liner. Liners are then passed through rollers to ensure that the fibers are saturated with resin. The resin impregnated liner (referred to as an uncured resin tube) is typically refrigerated until use, as it may contain volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds (VOCs, SVOCs) and thermally sensitive chemicals. This uncured resin tube is often pulled through the damaged water pipe or inserted into the damaged water pipe and inflated using forced air or water. During the installation process, the curing is facilitated by periodically forcing steam into one end of the resin tube, recirculating hot water, and/or passing an ultraviolet (UV) light train through the tube. Plastic coatings are sometimes included inside and outside of the uncured resin tube for a variety of reasons. Once the facilitated curing process has ended, the hardened ends of the CIPP are cut and removed. Connections to pipe laterals are reinstated by cutting holes into the pipe walls. A reported advantage of this in-situ repair process is the avoidance of roadway shutdowns and open-trench excavations to remove the damaged pipe. The CIPP process is also being used to repair pipes in buildings.

Little is known about CIPP worker exposures and health risks. CIPP manufacturing sites are highly transient, with a single installation location being used from a few hours to a few days. Unlike traditional manufacturing operations, there is not a ‘permanent address’ to visit or inspect. Once the construction process is complete, the workers and equipment move on. The CIPP manufacturing process can expose workers to raw chemicals, forced air, steam, hot water, ultraviolet (UV) light, materials created and released into the air during manufacture, as well as liquids and solids generated by the process and worker activities. To date, CIPP air monitoring studies have been unable to comprehensively characterize occupational exposures because of a narrow focus on VOC vapors and the use of nonspecific detectors.  See below for information on the October 5th free webinar “Public Health Implications and Occupational Exposures during Water Pipe Repair Activities” (to view webinar, click here ).

Styrene.

Those cost savings — read, massive billionaire, millionaire and Eichmann profits — kill kill kill, and the lies and the propaganda and the agency capture and the Mafia that is the trucking-oil-highway construction are killing us softly and hard.

The records reveal a remarkable and disturbing hidden history, a case study of government inaction in the face of an obvious threat to public wellbeing. Year after year, federal officials at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the country’s primary roadway safety agency, ignored credible scientific research and failed to take simple steps to limit the hazards of underride crashes.

NHTSA officials failed to act, in part, because they didn’t know how many people were killed in the crashes. Their poor efforts at collecting data over the years left them unable to determine the scale of the problem. This spring the agency publicly acknowledged that it has failed to accurately count underride collisions for decades.

According to NHTSA’s latest figures, more than 400 people died in underride crashes in 2021, the most recent year for which data is available. But experts say the true number of deaths is likely higher.

Again, styrene gassing of students, or these death machines, trucks, sometimes three unit trucks, kill kill kill. The logical is thrown out with the baby’s bathwater.

David Friedman was a top official at NHTSA during the Obama years. “NHTSA has been trying, for decades, to do something about underride deaths. And yet over and over, they haven’t made the progress that we need. Why? Well, I think part of it is because industry just keeps pushing back and undermining their efforts,” said Friedman, who served as the agency’s acting administrator in 2014. “There are so many hurdles put in the way of NHTSA staff when it comes to putting a rule on the books that could address issues like underride.”

The technology at issue — strong steel guards mounted to the back and sides of trucks — is simple and “relatively inexpensive,” Friedman argued. “The costs are small.” (source)

Simple solution, almost fourth grade level stuff (though putting fourth and six graders in a large conference room with teach-ins and fuzzy problem and solution events, and, man, most solutions to this sick country’s problems would be solved, and be warned: it would be really strong left socialism, as in . . . )

“We have to tell those people they can’t do that or make that or develop that anymore without a huge screening and vetting process. Why are they killing us and our futures?”

Let the youth take the helm: Project Based Learning turning into Community Based Learning and then turned into Legislative-Connected Project Based Learning: 7 Real-World Issues That Can Allow Students To Tackle Big Challenges.

Again, take over the high schools, the elementary schools. Fill the parking lots with teepees and hands-on teach-in stations. Get the youth to cook their food, and get the youth working with amazing facilitators to get into a fuzzy problem solutionary situation. Call it a global or local or regional problem solving charrette. Get the stupid policy makers, the chamber of commerces, and the big wigws in business to show up and, no, not dominate or even castigate.

Come up with a list of major problems the youth are seeing they WILL face the next 60 years — local, family, educational, county-wide, state-wide, country-wide and globally.

A weekend of rice, beans, corn, pancakes, tortillas, a global simple menu, and then, let the kids go. Every month, after the first weekend’s top 20 problems are set and discussed, a new teach-in and solutions based camp-in for each problem . . . . Get this on cable, on TV, uploaded, streamed, what have you. It will fucking work.

7 Real-World Issues That Can Allow Students To Tackle Big Challenges

1) Climate Change – Climate Change will have a significant impact on our students’ lives. Indeed, there may not be one issue that will impact them more comprehensively. Students have seen the data and witnessed the changes, and are listening to the science community. They know that this an urgent issue that will affect almost everything, including, but not limited to, weather, sea levels, food security, water quality, air quality, sustainability and much more. Many organizations – such as NASAThe National Park ServiceNational Center for Science EducationNational Oceanic Atmospheric Association and SOCAN to name a few – are working to bring climate change curriculum and projects to teachers and students.

2) Health Care – Since this has become a prominent topic in the national debate, students are becoming aware of the issues in our country related to rising costs, access, quality and equity. They are beginning to understand the importance both individually and societally. Like the aforementioned topic of climate change, students are also (and unfortunately) learning that we are not necessarily leading the world in this area. They know that this problem is connected to profits, insurance, bureaucracy and more, but they also have a fresher sense of how it could be different, and how we could learn from others around the world. The work on this topic, like many others, is being led by our universities. Institutions such as University of MichiganJohns Hopkins and Stanford are leading the way.

3) Food Insecurity – as our students become more aware of their surrounding communities, as well as the peers they interact with daily, they begin to see differences. Differences in socioeconomic status, opportunities for growth, housing, security, support services and more. And since 13 million young people live in food-insecure homes, almost all of our students, as well as educators, know someone who is hungry on a daily basis. This may often start with service-based projects, but can also lead to high quality project based learning complete with research, data analysis, diverse solutions and ultimately a variety of calls to action. If you want to see how one teacher and his students transformed not only their school, but entire community related to food insecurity, check out Power Of A Plant author Stephen Ritz and the Green Bronx Machine.

4) Violence – This is a natural given current events taking the nation by storm. However, the related topics and issues here are not new. And yes, they are politically charged, but young people care about these issues. They care about their collective safety and futures, but also know something can be done. In addition to the specifics related to school violence and safety, students can study details of how to advocate, organize, campaign and solicit support, learn that this is a complex problem that has many plausible causes, and, perhaps most importantly, hope for progress. They also know that although they are concerned about attending school in safe environments, our society and culture have violence-related problems and issues that they want to see addressed. Following the recent incident in Florida and the subsequent response from students, the New York Times has compiled a list of resources for educators on this topic.

5) Homelessness – We often hear the expression “think globally, act locally.” The topic of homelessness has garnered more attention than ever as more and more communities wrestle with a growing homeless population. In addition to opportunities for our students and schools to partner with local non-profit organizations dealing with homelessness, this topic, like others, is also a great way to elicit empathy in our students. We often hear from educators, employers and others that we want to raise adults that are able to solve problems, improve our communities, and have the ability to see beyond themselves. This topic can provide a number of options for helping students develop those skills. Finally, we also have a growing population of homeless students. So, the relevancy and urgency are all there. Many have laid the groundwork for us to address this within our curriculum. Organizations like Bridge CommunitiesNational Coalition For The HomelessHomeless Hub and Learning To Give are some of the many leading the way.

6) Sustainability – This is an extremely global issue that affects everything from energy, to food, to resources, economics, health, wellness and more. Students are becoming more and more aware that our very future as a species depends on how we address sustainability challenges. They are aware that this challenge requires new ways of thinking, new priorities, new standards and new ways of doing things. Sustainability is all about future innovation. Students have tremendous opportunities to collaborate, think critically, communicate, and be creative when questioning if a current practice, method, resource or even industry is sustainable without dramatic change and shifts. Students who tackle these challenges will be our leaders – business, political and cultural – of the future. Educators and students can find almost infinite resources and partners. A few of these are Green Education FoundationGreen Schools InitiativeStrategic Energy InnovationsFacing the Future and Teach For America.

7) Education – It seems that each and every day, more and more of us (though maybe still not enough) are moving closer to realizing that our educational systems are seemingly unprepared to make the big shifts needed to truly address the learning needs of 21st-century students. The related challenges are many – new literacies, skills, economic demands, brain research, technology, outcomes and methodologies. It’s a good thing that more and more people – both inside and outside of education – are both demanding and implementing change. However, one of the continued ironies within education is that we (and I recognize that this is a generalization) rarely ask the primary customer (students) what they think their education should look, feel and sound like. We have traditionally underestimated their ability to articulate what they need and what would benefit them for their individual and collective futures. One of the many foundational advantages of project based learning is that we consult and consider the student in project design and implementation. Student “voice & choice” creates opportunities for students to have input on and make decisions regarding everything from the final product, to focus area within a topic or challenge, and even whom they may partner with from peers to professionals. It’s this choice that not only helps elicit engagement and ownership of learning, but offers opportunities for students to enhance all of the skills that we want in our ideal graduates. As one might guess, there is not a lot of formal curriculum being developed for teachers to lead students through the issue of education reform. This may need to be an organic thing that happens class by class and school by school. It can start as easily as one teacher asking students about what they want out of their education. Some other entry points are The Buck Institute for EducationEdutopia’s Five Ways To Give Your Students More Voice & ChoiceBarbara Bray’s Rethinking Learning and reDesign.

This is not intended to be an exhaustive or comprehensive list. However, these seven broad topics present hundreds of relevant challenges that our students can and should have opportunities to address. If they do, they will not only be more prepared for their futures, but also poised to positively impact all of our futures.

That above list doesn’t have the fuzzy problem statement: “Can we come up with a better, more human, more resilient, more human and earth centered system to help the world thrive and undergo the massive changes reeling us with a world without ICE?” But it should!

Throw out a two dozen issues to a hundred high schools, and work work work on those, and then in those respective states, hit the county and city councils and head up to the state capitals. REALLY.

How easy is it to fix our broken windows and pipes and dirty drinking water problems. How easy is it to fix those extreme highway deaths, these underride accidents and other accidents.

What Drivers Need to Know About Doubles and Triples On The Road

Solution? Give those students a decent weekend charrette, and throw in all sorts of options and alternatives, and of course, those kids will want to be conservative in their approach: “Why so many flammable trucks are on the road . . . why are they, the government leaders and agencies, giving them, the owners, capitalists, everything and we don’t get anything?”

Just throw this out, and see what youth do with this criminal problem:

Another impetus for fraud stems from the blank checks that the Pentagon writes to contractors. The most common method of winning contracts is through the “cost-plus” contracting system, in which the government reimburses contractor expenses and tacks on a commission as profit. According to Hartung, the system works in such a way that “the more work [contractors] do, the more profit they get, even if their work is inefficient. … It basically says, ‘If you spend a billion dollars building a weapons system, you’ll get a 10 percent profit or $100 million.’” Essentially, for contractors, “you do better if you are wasteful.”

Yes yes, these students need REAL world thinkers, and no, solving the world’s problems should not be funneled into STEM ONLY— science technology engineering and math. The world is run by minds, perception, politics, community engagement, rhetoric, research, writing, debate, history, geography, and so much more OUTSIDE the real of computing, bridge building, mRNA bioweapons, algorithms.

As the late Gore Vidal pointed out in his book, Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace: How We Got to Be So Hated, the United States always appears to find a new enemy to attack to perpetuate controlled wars, or small conflicts that keep dollars flowing to sustain the defense industry. William Hartung, the Center for International Policy’s Arms and Security Project Director, stated that there is an “excess of usable military equipment relative to any possible need.” As Hartung put it, the overriding sentiment in the government has been that “we need [the money] to defend the country, so we can’t ask too many questions.” When there are calls to cut the defense budget, to withdraw and stop intervening in world conflicts, or to use older equipment available, contractors and lobbyists respond by arguing that the country “needs a new generation of equipment,” or that the Pentagon needs to continue a steady stream of purchasing in order “sustain the defense industrial base” to prepare for the next war. (source)

That Gore Vidal: “He’s denounced Washington for waging what he called “a perpetual war for perpetual peace” and said American aggression was only nurturing fresh hatreds.

In a scathing attack on U.S. foreign policy, Vidal told Reuters that the United States would have been better served trying to buy peace with Osama bin Laden rather than send in the bombers to try and kill him.

Vidal, one of contemporary America’s harshest critics, has had trouble finding an audience for his views back home and is publishing his latest collection of essays in his adoptive country, Italy.”

New CDC Director Giggles Over Implementing Lockdowns On A Whim

It’s more than just arrogance, Jimmy. Of course, Jimmy is a comic, and he is Irish, and he is definitely afraid of that other tribe, and thusly, he will not touch these people’s upbringings with a ten foot pole. Look at her eyes, man:

WikiCIApedia: Cohen’s parents are Marshall and Susan Krauthamer, and she has two younger siblings.[1] She grew up on the south shore of Long Island in the Baldwin hamlet in Hempstead, New York.[2][3][4] Her mother worked as a hospital nurse practitioner in emergency medicine, and inspired her to pursue a medical career.[5][6][1] Her father was a junior high guidance counselor in the New York City school system.[1] When she was 12 years old, she had her bat mitzvah at her family’s Reform synagogue.[2]

Cohen has a bachelor’s degree in policy analysis and management from Cornell University (’00).[7][8] She received her medical degree from the Yale School of Medicine (’05), and has a graduate degree in public health from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (’04).[7] She trained in internal medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.[7][6] In 2004, while a medical school student, she took up a position with the American College of Physicians on their National Council of Student Members.[3] While in her residency, she served on Massachusetts General Hospital’s committees for primary care, quality assurance, and recruitment.[3] She later served as Co-Director for the Health Policy Elective at Massachusetts General Hospital, and was a northeast representative for the American College of Physicians’ National Council of Associates.[3]

Jimmy is just a deer caught in headlights. He can’t look at the DNA, the tribal thinking, the colleges she went to, and did he even check her med degrees, and does he know much about the corrupt aspect of med school, and then Yale, Cornell, Harvard, Mass General?

The disease is here, Jimmy. Elites, tribal, inter-married. Giddy of their power, Jimmy states. It’s the power, brother. And Jimmy is shocked at her absolute wrong-headedness, and her hubris and her background in Medical Hasbara?

And these soriety girls, these bar and bat mitzvah creeps, they are all in with Biden and his Chlamydia Capitalism, not to be confused with Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein Chlamydia Coersion:

Former Senate aide Tara Reade and Radha Stirling, her attorney, talk about Reade’s accusation that President Biden sexually assaulted her in 1993, and why Reade is seeking Russian citizenship.

This is the Biden Blinken Yellen Garland Nuland, et al, administration (see previous post, with list of amazing Jewish folk in Biden’s Bully Gang: The World Burns While Fiddler on the Roof Fiddles with Humanity

So CDC and Biden and the gang of Pharma, and then the unending trickle of trillions to Ukraine, but no smoke masks for Door Dasha nd UPS? This is AmeriKKKa, on stinking burning steroids:

Wildfire smoke muddled the New York City skyline on Tuesday. Many people experienced the eerie threat mainly by scrolling through social media. But others experienced it in their bodies.

“My eyes were burning,” said UPS package driver Matt Leichenger, who was making deliveries in Brooklyn. “My throat was scratchy. By lunchtime, I was feeling dizzy and nauseous.”

Eventually, he got himself a surgical mask, he said, pausing momentarily to cough while we spoke on the phone. “It got a little bit better, but I was still blowing snot.”

News stories showed a veil of smoke stretching from Wisconsin to Alabama—but UPS didn’t say anything to its workers.

“The whole day the company never sent any type of message, even being like ‘If you feel these symptoms, seek clean air inside,’ which is something they say about extreme heat,” said Leichenger. “It was just crickets.”

[Photo: Members of Los Deliveristas Unidos, a worker collective, distributed masks on Wednesday as smoke enveloped New York City. Photo: Luis Feliz Leon.]

Masks, and amazingly blatant spinelessness:

And this accused rapists says what about the fires?

The poor conditions have forced event cancellations and grounded flights across the US.

Nearly 100 million people are experiencing very poor air quality in North America.

US President Joe Biden described the fires as a “stark reminder of the impacts of climate change”.

This is the power of stupidity, incompetence, and the Biden rich rich overlords and Eichmanns keeping tabs and ledgers, oh, go out and find your N95 masks? Nothing like mutual aid and smoke relief centers throughout the land? Not if it doesn’t include a dirty fascist ZioAzovNaziLensky.

Remember, you can’t think about a proxy war, and if it tends to lean toward the ZioAzovLensky, hmm:

These are the dirtiest folk, and here we go, with the Krauts, again, dirty dirty Nazi-History:

Smoke smoke smoke, and USA and Klanada, all about the Jewish Benjamins:

Ms. Omar, Minnesota Democrat, retweeted a post from reporter Glenn Greenwald that slammed House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s criticism of Ms. Omar and her colleague Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Michigan Democrat.

“It’s all about the Benjamins baby,” Ms. Omar tweeted.

Batya Ungar-Sargon, an opinion editor at the Jewish publication The Forward, wanted to know who Ms. Omar thought was paying off Americans.

“AIPAC!” Ms. Omar replied, referring to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

That power of the Benjamins: “From Judas and his 30 pieces of silver to internet memes presenting avaricious Jewish bankers, anti-Semitic imagery linking Jews to money is nothing new. The ‘Jews, Money, Myth’ exhibition at London’s Jewish Museum is confronting the problem head-on.”

Listen to Glenn Greenwald on that sick Amy Soros Goodman’s faux news show:

AMY GOODMAN: This is Democracy Now! I’m Amy Goodman. We’re speaking to Glenn Greenwald, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, one of the founding editors of The Intercept.

In a moment, we’re going to talk about Brazil, where you live, Glenn, but I want to first go to one of your recent tweets, that’s making news today. On Sunday, you tweeted, quote, ”GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy threatens punishment for @IlhanMN and @RashidaTlaib over their criticisms of Israel. It’s stunning how much time US political leaders spend defending a foreign nation even if it means attacking free speech rights of Americans,” you wrote.

Well, Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota retweeted your post and added the line, “It’s all about the Benjamins baby.”

Then, an opinion editor from The Forward newspaper tweeted, “Would love to know who @IlhanMN thinks is paying American politicians to be pro-Israel, though I think I can guess. Bad form, Congresswoman. That’s the second anti-Semitic trope you’ve tweeted.”

Ilhan Omar then responded to that tweet by writing, ”AIPAC.”

Democratic Congressman Max Rose responded to Omar by saying, “Congresswoman Omar’s statements are deeply hurtful to Jews, including myself.”

So, Glenn, can you respond to all of this?

GLENN GREENWALD: This is all so ridiculous. It’s all based upon this demand that we indulge what everybody knows is an utter and complete fiction, which is that we’re allowed to talk about the power of the NRA in Washington, we’re allowed to talk about the power of the Saudis in Washington, we’re allowed to talk about the power of big pharmaceutical companies and Wall Street and Silicon Valley and the fossil fuel industry in Washington, but we’re not allowed to talk about an equally potent, well-organized and well-financed lobby that ensures a bipartisan consensus in support of U.S. defense of Israel, that the minute that you mention that lobby, you get attacked as being anti-Semitic, which is what happened to Congresswoman Omar.

And I think the context here is really important. For a long time, the bipartisan piety was not just that the U.S. has to support Israel, but that, in particular, the effort to boycott Israel in protest of its occupation of Palestine is not just misguided, but anti-Semitic. That’s the official position of the Democratic Party, of Hillary Clinton, of Chuck Schumer, of every leading Democrat. And now, suddenly, you have these two really exciting, dynamic, charismatic women of color newly elected to Congress, the first two Muslim women elected to Congress, who both are supporters of the boycott of Israel, which the Democratic Party says is bigotry and anti-Semitism, and it’s created this very awkward moment. So, of course, the minute two Muslim women arrive in Congress, they’re going to get attacked as anti-Semitic if they’re critical of Israel, which they are, just like Keith Ellison, the first Muslim ever elected to Congress, got vilified as being an anti-Semite by Haim Saban, the billionaire funder of the Democratic Party, when he tried to be the chairman of the DNC.

What the congresswoman said is very uncontroversial. Everyone knows AIPAC is an extremely intimidating lobby, just like the NRA is. There’s nothing wrong with pointing that out. There’s certainly nothing anti-Semitic about saying that, about criticizing the Israeli government for its aggression and militarism. And anybody who cares about Palestinians and about the ability of Muslims in the United States to be able to speak freely ought to be defending her.

And the last point I would add is, my point was, in saying how weird it is, what a priority it is for U.S. politicians to defend Israel, was based on the fact that the very first bill passed by the U.S. Senate was not about helping Americans; it was about empowering states to punish people who support a boycott of Israel, a bill sponsored by Marco Rubio, who got more money from Sheldon Adelson than any other politician in 2016, and then was supported by half of the Democratic Senate Caucus. That’s what I was referring to. And the congresswoman was saying a big reason for that is the monied interests in Washington that demand that. And of course everyone knows that’s true, and to call that anti-Semitic is just obscene.

AMY GOODMAN: I’ll add, Chelsea Clinton also tweeted, “I will reach out to her tomorrow.” She wrote this last night—Ilhan Omar. “I also think we have to call out anti-Semitic language and tropes on all sides, particularly in our elected officials and particularly now,” Chelsea Clinton tweeted.

GLENN GREENWALD: Yeah. When did—who is Chelsea Clinton to become the spokeswoman about what is and isn’t permissible debate when it comes to Israel? Her parents are the probably the two individuals most responsible for turning the United States into a steadfast defender of an apartheid, murderous and oppressive regime in that region. Her two parents are probably the leading politicians most responsible for ensuring the ongoing repression of the Palestinian people. So, Chelsea Clinton, who I don’t think has any public status other than being the daughter of two famous politicians, really has no place in trying to set the boundaries of what is and isn’t permissible debate, given what her family has done—so much harm—to ensuring that Palestinians don’t live with the basic, minimum dignity and sovereignty to which every human being is entitled.

Smoke and mirrors, that hasbara.

Smoke from those 30 pieces of silver — You want to bet a few Judas’ are lawyers in this salmon fight?

Thirty pieces of silver - Wikipedia

I am sure I just committed antisemitism posting Molnar’s painting above.

Oh, man oh man:

30 srebrnjaka

What a few thousand years will do to enhance those pieces of silver:

Glory and valor and heroism being continuing criminal enterprises. All billionaires must go the way of the dodo: Forbes.

In many ways, the list of global Jewish billionaires is anything but a wealth list detailing total assets and net worth • A simple glance at the top of the list is enough to understand how much innovation; initiative, charisma, and intelligence are driving forces behind the names mentioned before you

The falling markets during the last year created ripples in the ranking of the world’s Jewish Billionaires • Mark Zuckerberg – who was ranked first in 2020 – lost most of his fortune and is now ranked seventh. Larry Ellison, who is now ranked 1st, Michael Dell, and the founders of Google – all of their fortunes grew significantly • Forbes Israel presents: 267 billionaires with a combined net worth of 1.7 trillion dollars

But then, we have the Krauts, the Nazi-Landia, and this menace, pustule:

Back to the UPS 30 pieces of silver purveyors:

UPS driver Leichenger met Anthony Rosario, a former UPS driver turned lead organizer for Teamsters Local 804, in Brooklyn where UPS Teamsters were holding a previously scheduled rally at the Foster Avenue hub ahead of 8,400 members taking a strike authorization vote. The Teamsters contract with UPS expires on July 31.

Rosario had heard from UPSers that in morning meetings the company hadn’t even recognized air quality was bad and workers should take safety precautions.

“They didn’t mention anything about air quality,” said Rosario. “It was like it was like a beautiful day go to work. Everything’s normal.”

Rosario coordinated with Democratic Socialists of America activists to receive a donation of 10,000 KN95 masks from a company called Bonafide Masks in the Bronx. “All I had to do was do what I always did as a UPS driver—go pick it up and deliver it,” said Rosario.

Back at the Brooklyn hub, workers helped unload the boxes and distribute the first 4,400 masks. “The funny thing is, as some of them were pulling out of the parking lot, they were saying that UPS inside was giving out the crappy paper masks,” said Rosario.

The company’s penny-pinching on masks became a talking point. “This is the kind of company we’re dealing with,” said Rosario. “This is why we have to send them a message and this is why you have to vote yes [for strike authorization]. Think about how UPS is treating you when you vote.”

In the WhatsApp chat, Leichenger said workers seized on this as another example of how little the company cares about workers. “These crises can create unity. It’s like with the pandemic, it sort of did that,” he said. (source)

A Nationwide UPS Strike Could Be Weeks Away - In These Times

As Biden and Company are overseeing the death of USPS. These fucking Ukrainian Thugs, Biden and his coke head son, Hunter, need their heads cracked with a bat:

Seven more women came forward with similar stories of Biden’s manner of unwanted, inappropriate touching. Descriptions told of how his hands intimately lingered on everything from the women’s necks, shoulders, backs, or thighs. Some say his forehead pressed against theirs. Noses so close that they rubbed together. Breathing in the smell of hair. Kissing the back of the head.

“The bottom line with that kind of behavior is entitlement.”

“The bottom line with that kind of behavior is entitlement,” Gira Grant explained. “Both entitlement to someone’s physical body, but then also entitlement to characterize what happened through whatever lens you have that allows you to continue that behavior.”

Flores was precise in calling out the inequality inherent in how women’s bodies were assumed to be touchable, especially by powerful men. “Most people acknowledge that men don’t usually kiss, smell, rub noses with, place their hands on the thighs of, or touch foreheads with random women they don’t know,” Flores opined in the New York Times. “Yet some men do, especially powerful men, who are protected by privilege and a crew of self-interested enablers who don’t want to lose their access to power by calling out the obvious.” (source)
