Islamists (former Al Qaeda), fighting to overthrow anti-Zionist and anti-imperialist Syria and who do behead victims, are called by media and US Gov "Rebels" and "resistance fighters". Hamas, first fighting apartheid, now genocide, are called "terrorists". Didn't know? Do now.

If your critiques about what’s going on has to do with how horrible Trump is or his nominees are, instead of how horrible the American duopoly and capitalism is - I have no interest in your “thinking”

Elon Musk's twitter just banned me, without giving any reason. I didn't get any post that was flagged, no infraction, no warning, nothing. Just suspended. So I suspect it is because I have been exposing the propaganda of the genocidal Israeli regime and its supporters, including recently Bill Ackman

Weirdly funny to look back at, for instance, Putin being the evil thing for the planet. Putin! Or Xi or Iran or Cuba - there's always a new one to distract from the real evil. "Brainwashing" seems like such a weak descriptor. How so many don't see what's right in front of them...

Most of my posts now are on behalf of the Palestinians because I think we're all Palestinians, and the worst of what's happening is coming here eventually. The choices are resistance, compliance or support. The latter two are collaboration. I beg you not to collaborate.

You don't have to be Nostradamus to predict everything coming to a head in 2024. Among other events, the Democrats will do a total reveal that even the most credulous Dem voter will have to concede is not democratic.

#PalestinePledge I pledge to withdraw financial support from any business, agency, academic institution, etc. for firing or otherwise punishing individuals there employed, on the grounds of supposed anti-Semitism, due to supporting for the Palestinian people. (This is what capitalists understand)

If, on US social media, we’re free to say “destroy Iran” or “turn Gaza into a parking lot” but could face expulsion from platforms for “from the river to the sea” or “read Bin Laden’s letter to America” - we are living somewhere, but it’s not in a democracy

By the logic of the brilliant loser to Donald Trump, Hilary Clinton, you could argue against having a ceasefire in every conflict, because the other side would take advantage of the time to prepare for more fighting. Genius. Can’t see how she lost to a rich, goofy game show host.

Imagine... thinking Trump or other GOP are SO bad and dangerous for US, that they uncritically go with Biden Administration participation in genocide out of fear of endangering election prospects in 2024. Imagine those people thinking they hold the moral high ground. IMAGINE

I never knew until this week that Lily Tomlin said this. I'll always credit her with the quote, but I am appropriating it for frequent use. "No matter how cynical you get, it's impossible to keep up"

This year on 9/11 will mark the 50th anniversary of the US sponsored coup of the democratically elected Chilean government of President Salvador Allende and the ascension of General Pinochet to 25 years of brutal dictatorship. Didn't study that in high school, did ya?

Humans finally doing it. Creating the God we seem incapable of living without. A myth says god took retribution against a sinful world by flooding it. Another says next time it'll be by fire. I think they may get that right. Its judgement against its creator will be harsh.

What if the empire wants AI to develop to the point of a SKYNET situation, in which our leaders don't launch the massive first strike, the system does, and they can later plead that they had nothing to do with it?

There is a national security concern with releasing all information on the JFK assassination. The concern is that the remaining Americans who still have faith in the US national security state would lose that faith immediately.
