Why France is Preparing for War

Are there enough dumb young French males and females to be recruited to the cause of the effete NATO alliance of all the bourgeois countries of Old Europe ? A modern version of stale Wilsonian blather : " MAKE THE WORLD SAFE FOR AMERICAN IMPERIALISM TOGETHER FOREVER WITH ISRAELI ZIONISM ! " Dripping with the blood of past colonialism Old Europe rallies to the defense of " sovereign " Ukraine ! Soon to be joined by " OUR democracy " !

RIPTA CEO Scott Avedisian is suspect in Warwick hit-and-run

As a regular RIPTA bus rider I have long suspected that RIPTA is badly mismanaged if not corrupt. Little Rhode Island deserves a much better public transportation which serves every town in Rhode Island . A source of corruption is the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party's propensity to play fatuous identity politics, affirmative action hiring games.

'An attack on the rule of law': Federal judge calls out Trump for threat...

As a longtime democratic socialist I see old Karl Marx's writing very perceptive relating to the present crisis in the American TWO PARTY SYSTEM. There is clearly an ongoing BRAWL ( sometimes physical as on the Jan.6th day of infamy ) within the American ruling class. What should be clear to any self-identifying SOCIALIST is that THE LAW ( and therefore the JUST JUDGES ) in American capitalist society is never above the politics of our ruling class. Even of a ruling class in turmoil . All those vast wall to wall law book collections of any Harvard Law School professor are essentially cogitations of ruling class consciousness- infinitely out of touch with the language , feelings , and moral perceptions of the common people. On one issue , for example , none of our JUST JUDGES can see that the homeless crisis in the United States ( including the homeless migrant , " illegal alien " crisis ) is on collision course with landlord-capitalist PRIVATE PROPERTY rights.

Israel: Above the law? | Featured Documentary

Zionist APARTHEID Israel is making itself the most hated country on the planet . No way to assure " NEVER AGAIN ". American imperialism-together forever with Israeli Zionism - will never be able to recruit, from the mostly CHRISTIAN working class, enough young idiots to fight for the war criminal ZIONIST Jew Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel and the ZIONIST Jew warmonger embezzler V. Zelensky in " Greater Israel " Ukraine. Ironically the mainstream news media in " OUR democracy " continues to act as if the the main concern here is dubious anti-Semitism on Ivy League campuses and not genocide in Gaza , Palestine. Wonder why ?

The NATO nations will not recruit nearly enough young idiots to fight nuclear World War III with Post Communist Russia. And does the mainstream news media in the United States ( in which the Israel Lobby is not uninfluential ! ) think that stale Wilsonian blather that was false more than a century ago will arouse toxic war fever in the mostly CHRISTIAN working class ? In general , would WE THE PEOPLE vote for nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia in order to make the world safe for the likes of the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu in APARTHEID Israel and the warmonger embezzler V. Zelensky in Ukraine ? What percentage of American voters in 2024 are thrilled about the state of " OUR democracy " ? THINK about it reader if you can still think !

That actual leaders of Israel are closer to the reactionary ZIONIST Jew atheist Ayn Rand's world view than to the 3000 year old Jewish religious tradition. Some Orthodox Jews even see ZIONISM- the ethnocentric worship of a nation-state- as a form of idolatry The Zionist elite in Israel consider CHRISTIAN Zionists , besotted with Old Testament mythology , as proverbial useful idiots. Many decades ago socialist internationalism denounced ZIONISM as a reactionary program . Traditional Marxism focuses on CLASS struggle. From the beginning ZIONISM has been entangled with American and British imperialism. And today the NATO nations of Old Europe - dripping with the blood of colonialism's past - are slobbering over the defense of APARTHEID Israel and the defense of " sovereign " Ukraine . But the ordinary working class people of the world have no difficulty distinguishing the OPPRESSOR from the OPPRESSED ?

How many working class CHRISTIANS in " OUR democracy " will vote YES for nuclear World War III along with our allies, war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu leading Israel and warmonger ,embezzler V. Zelensky leading " Greater Israel " Ukraine ? The so called FREE WORLD vs. POST COMMUNIST Russia ? How well is our mainstream news media -led by the New York Times - succeeding in arousing " patriotic " war fever with stale Wilsonian blather that was false more than a century ago ? Life is not miserable and oppressive enough for working class and lower middle class people in capitalist America ? And our future promises to be even more miserable and oppressive WITHOUT nuclear World War III !

Listening to ALL the Talk Radio celebs on 630 WPRO , Rhode Island , Gene , Tara, Mat , Dan , I am beginning to wish that the so called " Cancel Culture " get around to canceling now effete and increasingly brainless - with much buffoonery - TALK RADIO.
Intelligent listeners will sooner or later conclude that year after year they have nothing to learn from the Talk Radio babblers. It is all vacuous celebrity ride to nowhere. One longs for public voices that UNDERSTAND our world , its real history.
The local talk radio celebs spend a lot of air time slobbering over sponsors which undermines their credibility as shapers of public opinion. In now way to they present a VOICE to the public. The host has autocratic control over the callers and the text messages. The callers are more likely to be fans of Gene, Tara, Matt , or Dan. No lack of sycophants among them .
As a longtime independent democratic socialist it is rather obvious to me that individuals selected ( by station management ) are carefully screened for any views that smack of " extremism " or " hate speech " as perceived and defined by the local ruling class.
The late controversial TALK RADIO legend Steve White ( nicknamed " The Captain " ) was a breath of fresh air in being a cut above " respectability " - and all the more interesting listening to him. Despite his scary , goose stepping followers. A good show is a good show !
As a forum for REAL public opinion, Talk Radio is a repressive joke. Find ANY " employable " talk radio host in " OUR democracy " who voices critical views of capitalism, American imperialism, the military budget, Zionist APARTHEID Israel ?
Very few will even take a strong stand against WOKE ideology . And locally , Gene Valicenti fits very much into our " Culture of Narcissism ". ( Weeks before last Christmas Gene challenged his listeners ( they could win a prize ! ) to remember ALL the presents Genial Gene wanted for Christmas ( which included such modest items as a gold watch ) . When Genial Gene is not slobbering over sponsors ,he plays the role of Consumer in Chief in Rhode Island. Always that sick, obnoxious celebrity EGO !
After considering some FAR LEFT comments I made favoring democratic socialism , Gene on the air declared his loyalty to capitalism ( What a surprise ! How courageous ! ) and soon after banned me ( permanently ? ) from texting 630 WPRO.

This happens in countries where the majority of citizens still call themselves CHRISTIAN . Who among them would bless the genital mutilation of children - a crime against humanity !

'Hillary was right': Lifelong GOP voter on why he is leaving the party

What is really going on in " OUR Democracy in election year 2024 is a crisis of the TWO PARTY SYSTEM. There is an ongoing ideological brawl within the ruling class ( at times physical as on day of infamy Jan.6 ) . As a longtime independent democratic socialist I think that Hillary Clinton's WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party is even more rotten, more a threat of " IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE " fascism than the more " conservative " Republican Party. Since 2016 Hillary Clinton has promoted the HATE RUSSIA, New McCarthyism. And she is more beloved and trusted by the Israel Lobby than right wing populist blowhard Donald Trump. The Biden administration is also packed with ZIONIST Jews. Perhaps they are beginning to lose faith in corrupt , senile ,creepy Joe Biden as their proverbial useful idiot ? COMEBACK TIME for Hillary ?

BREAKING: Senator Joe Lieberman Dies At 82 #TYT

Today Israel is making itself the most hated country on the planet. Its agenda of genocide in Gaza, Palestine is no way to assure " NEVER AGAIN ". The mainstream news media in the United States daily censors anti-war , anti -Zionism public opinion. Ironically, belligerent, WOKE WARRIOR ZIONIST Jews decide what constitutes hate speech in " OUR democracy".

NBC News ousts Ronna McDaniel after anchors launch on-air rebellion

Merely tangential to the interests of the American working class, what is going on here is an ongoing ideological BRAWL( sometimes physical as on Jan.6th ) within our capitalist ruling class. There is a crisis of THEIR Two Party System on the brink of meltdown by Election Day 2024. In general, the sun is setting on American imperialism and together-forever Israeli Zionism. The working class people of the world ( of all races, religions , and ethnic groups ) have no interest in nuclear World for III for the likes of war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel and warmonger embezzler V. Zelensky in his " Greater Israel " Ukraine. The news media is here is highly censorious of anti-war American public opinion.

Hi Ron,

Thought you'd like to read Kunstler's latest observations on the world situation...
Talk soon.
–Steve


Text:

Wake-up Call"
"Can you feel it? The tension rising to the red-line? It runs clear through all of Western Civ. We are ruled by governments of fiends. But now, the sun rides higher in the sky. The sap is rising in the northern forests. The earth heaves. The buds swell and blush. Something is in the air. The animals are waking from their long winter sleep. The natives are restless.

     The two traditional political divisions, liberal and conservative died with Covid. Now there are simply the sane versus the insane. The sane have had enough of being pushed around by the insane. The insane don't register much of what reality tries to tell them. They have a body of insane ideas to comfort and protect them from the reality's rigors. To call that body of ideas an "ideology" is way too polite.

     That the insane call themselves "progressive," is a signature of their insanity. Progress toward what better state of things? Toward a supremacy of fiends, sadists, degenerates, and morons seizing riches and power by every dishonest means possible outside the rule of law and common decency? It's not even suitable to call them "communists." They lack the necessary idealism for that. They don't expect to put their shoulders to the wheel with their fellow man. They just want to grab your stuff and then kill you so they don't have to hear any complaints.

     The insane do not believe any of the theoretical bullshit they want to force you to swallow. They don't care about climate change. It's just a cudgel they use to beat everyone over the head so they can steal your stuff. They don't care about "democracy." It's just a line of bullshit to cover up their election-stealing. Do you suppose that sane people would keep using electronic vote-tabulating machines that were demonstrably connected to the Internet, and thus hackable, if they cared about election integrity? Of course not. They would arrange p.d.q. to junk them and use paper ballots, and only in person at polling places, with "absentee" exceptions only for people out of the country.

      The insane do not care about public health. Everything that is known about the Covid-19 vaccinations tells you that they are unsafe and don't prevent infection or transmission of a flu-like illness that might not even be what it was officially labeled as. Our public health officials in the FDA, the CDC, and in other corners of the Department of health and Human Services, lie about everything they're responsible for. This week, the CDC (under Director Mandy Cohen) released a 148-page study on myocarditis reactions to mRNA shots. Every word on every page of the document was redacted. The CDC printed countless copies of the report with 148 utterly blank pages, and then proffered them to the news media. How is that not insane?

     The insane do not care about the rule of law. The conduct of "Lawfare" is the subversion of the law by dishonest means. It is a species of racketeering. And that is why Lawfare rogues such Marc Elias, Norm Eisen, Andrew Weissmann, Mary McCord, Lisa Monaco, Matthew Graves, and Merrick Garland, should be charged under the federal RICO statutes for conspiring to deprive sane citizens of their rights and property in the many cases related to the 1/6/21 riot at the US Capitol.

     It is, so far, an abiding mystery of contemporary history as to how New York Attorney General Letitia James managed to get away with prosecuting a real estate case against Donald Trump that was no more than victimless business-as-usual between a borrower and his lenders. Ms. James ran for that elected office promising to "get" Mr. Trump on something, anything. That is not how the rule of law works. Under the rule of law, first you determine that there is a crime and then look for who did the crime.

     Letitia James must be insane and/or pretty stupid. The short-term gain of stealing Mr. Trump's property under a false color-of-law and creating impediments to his election campaign, will, sooner or later, blow back at her as a matter of malicious prosecution and, plausibly, racketeering as well. (With whom did she conspire to bring this case? We shall find out.) She will eventually be disgraced publicly as her teammate Fani Willis has already been disgraced in Fulton County, Georgia. I'll tell you something that all sane people now know but won't talk about for fear of being crushed by the levers of Lawfare: this looks like a concerted effort by people-of-color to railroad people of non-color. If you think that is a good thing for race relations in our country, then you are insane.

     Here are a bunch of other things that are insane: Re-litigating the first amendment is insane. It means what it says, and states it plainly. The open border is insane. No credible sovereign polity would allow it. It would be opposed with force, if necessary. Turning children into transsexuals on a wholesale basis is insane, and fiendishly so. Everybody knows that it is not good for the children or for our society as a whole. But fiends got to fiend, and if you try to deprive them of being fiends then you are guilty of "hate."

      The war in Ukraine is insane. We certainly didn't ignite it in the service of "democracy." Our pawn there, Mr. Zelensky, canceled the national elections last year. The war was arguably an effort by our CIA to deprive Russia of its market for natgas in Europe, and thus deprive Russia of a great deal of money, that is, of prosperity. The project failed. Russia overcame NATO's proxy army and found other markets for its gas. Blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines only served to impoverish and weaken our NATO allies, who no longer have affordable gas to run their industries. The leaders of those allies were too insane to recognize that the Nord Stream op was an act-of-war against them. They were also busy destroying themselves, like the USA, with open borders. They will end up in a new medievalism, ruled by savages. You'd have to be insane to arrange that for yourself.

     What's most obviously insane in our country is that the insane party is pretending to nominate the mentally unfit White House place-keeper, "Joe Biden," for reelection. You would think that if this party wanted to retain power, they would run a candidate who, though insane, was not also visibly senile. But the rank and file of this party are too insane to see that this dodge is not working. They are pretending with all their might that this is okay, that the growing faction of the sane don't notice.

     Sensing the growing impatience with insanity among the voters, the insane party has reached its point of terminal desperation. What will they try next? Murder? Why not? Nothing else seemed to work. They are too far gone in their insanity to understand that winter is over. We've entered the season of rebirth and renewal, starting with a renewed appreciation for being sane and for that indispensable ingredient that makes liberty in a free society possible: good faith. Really, the only question left is: how rough do they intend to play to prevent the return of sanity and good faith?"

A future democratic socialist government of the United States will seize all the wealth of ALL the plutocrats. But this at least sets a precedent in bourgeois LAW .

Attached are 2 images I took today at the RISD Museum. 1: You standing next to that marble bust of Augustus with his "eyes that shone with a sort of divine radiance" (early 1st century CE) and 2: a close-up of the interesting description of that bust.

Talk soon!
Steve




Trump begs MAGA supporters for help as $464M fraud bond deadline approaches

Thinking about this as democratic socialist-not a Trump fan - I think the bourgeois legal system ( now essentially controlled by WOKE WARRIOR Democrats connected to " Deep State " ) is PERSECUTING not PROSECUTING Donald Trump , the populist conservative Republican. This BRAWL within the American ruling class is only tangential to the concerns of the American working class. There is a profound crisis of the capitalist TWO PARTY SYSTEM. A meltdown is expected come Election Day 2024 .

The homeless crisis in capitalist USA and the homeless migrant crisis are on collision course with landlord-capitalist PRIVATE PROPERTY rights . Also on collision course with the ossified world system of mutually hostile nation states. There is just no RED , WHITE, and BLUE solution to the homeless problem. " The Times They Are A-Changin " ( Bob Dylan 1964 )

How the proposed Tenants Bill of Rights could impact RI renters

When lawyer reformer Ralph Nader was a young student at Harvard Law School he was struck by the fact that there was no legal concept back then of TENANT rights ( a biography reports ). No surprise to any democratic socialist today as Harvard University is still devoted to mass producing professional enemies of the working class ( Nader fell through the cracks ) . Clarence Darrow types are rare in the Ivy League .. We are also not surprised that no " progressive " Democrats are calling for RENT CONTROL. And the state bureaucrats assigned to deal with the homeless crisis never think outside the stultifying box of landlord-capitalist PRIVATE PROPERTY rights. Also ,the migrant homeless crisis, daily in the news, can only be " solved " by a CONTINENTAL government -not by squabbling decidedly UNEQUAL nation states. In a universe where everything changes even proud , arrogant NATION-STATES come and go.

Trump in panic mode as deadline to secure $464 million bond looms, sourc...

Former president Donald Trump is clearly being PERSECUTED -nor PROSECUTED - by corrupt judges and prosecutors acting under the shadow of DEEP STATE and the DNC. I speak not as a Trump follower but as a longtime independent democratic socialist.

Trump unable to secure bond after approaching around 30 lenders

Behind the affirmative action made Black woman judge who wants to seize billionaire Donald Trump's assets is a New York City ZIONIST Jew clique ( Senator Chuck Schumer said a while back that he wants to be APARTHEID Israel's " guardian angel " ) that operates within Joe Biden's WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party. I speak not as Trump fan but as a longtime independent democratic socialist . Some future JUST JUDGE in a SOCIALIST USA will seize ALL the wealth and PRIVATE PROPERTY of ALL the American plutocrats. Not just right wing populist blowhard Donald Trump's. What is going on in Politics USA is a profound crisis of the capitalist TWO PARTY SYSTEM- an ongoing ideological BRAWL within the capitalist ruling class. But as INDEPENDENT Ralph Nader said long ago both major parties represent only the Left and Right profile of Corporate America. Working class Americans need their own American Labor Party -a lot like the British Labor Party but less stuffy and compromised.

Splendor in the Grass (1961) - Final Scene

NOTE THE COMMENTS : @ronruggieri9817 @ronruggieri9817 2 months ago The poem : by William Wordsworth What though the radiance Which was once so bright Be now for ever taken from my sight, Though nothing can bring back the hour Of splendour in the grass, Of glory in the flower, We will grieve not, rather find Strength in what remains behind; In the primal sympathy Which having been must ever be; In the soothing thoughts that spring Out of human suffering; In the faith that looks through death, In years that bring the philosophic mi Reply @ronruggieri9817 Interesting comment on the Worsworth poem : Musician/Retired Teacher (1985–present) [ "This is one of Wordsworth’s “Spots of Time” moments where he bemoans the fact that, as he leaves childhood, he no longer has the same grand, automatic responses to Nature that he once had as a child. For Wordsworth, childhood is a time where Man, Nature, and God are all the same entity. As we get older, we get busy: school, religion, marriages, jobs, etc. as that happens we put God, Man, and Nature in separate categories which in turn causes these childlike responses to Nature to diminish.

Doris Day - Que Sera Sera

As a diversion from my favored classical music I played this pop music from the 1950s and 1960s . At age 76 I still wonder why the ephemeral emotions of love sick teenage is the bulk of ALL popular music back then ? Reading about the life of Elvis Presley I learned that as he passed age 40 he wondered if still singing fatuous juvenile love songs was not a little ridiculous . Perhaps old Charles Darwin ( did he quite unintentionally kill BOTH God and Romance ? ) and the much later discovery of DNA best explain the endurance of the " love-sick " popular song. An pleasing exception to it was Doris Day singing " Que sera, sera " . But still " Love makes the world go round " . It really

‘He’s really angry’: Michael Cohen on Trump’s reaction to his inability ...

What is really going on here is an ideological- sometimes physical brawl ( like Jan.6th )- within the American ruling class. There is a crisis of the capitalist TWO PARTY SYSTEM . As Ralph Nader pointed out years ago, and any number of marginalized third parties, both major parties serve the plutocracy with sometimes sharp conflicts over tactics and pro-imperialist , pro-capitalist strategy. Both parties for decades now have slobbered over " OUR special relationship with Israel ". The WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party now even scorns a fundamental principle even of bourgeois democracy - the concept ,if not the reality, of MAJORITY RULE. In their hearts and minds do working class , mostly CHRISTIAN, Americans vote APPROVE for most identity politics nonsense like " Critical Race Theory " ? Do " liberal " Democrats ever apply it to APARTHEID Israel ? " OUR democracy " as such we recommend to the benighted ( ? ) world ? What more can they want than a Trump vs. Biden type political system ? What more can WE THE PEOPLE want ? A Congress and a Senate and a Supreme Court so much like our own in the year 2024 ! We can imagine out of power Joe Biden and Donald Trump, and Hillary and Bill Clinton ,and Barack and Michele Obama reforming a POST-PUTIN Russia ? The beginning of a New American Century ?

Breaking Down Trump’s Options to Pay $454M Civil-Fraud Penalty | WSJ

Oddly enough ,this longtime independent democratic socialist sees populist Republican Donald Trump as being persecuted- not prosecuted - by bourgeois American law. As Karl Marx understood way back in 1848 THE LAW is never above the politics of the class struggle. What is going on presently in " OUR democracy " is an ideological BRAWL -sometimes physical ( like on Jan.6th ! ) - within the capitalist ruling class. How ironic to see a WOKE Democrat judge rudely remove so much PRIVATE PROPERTY from an American plutocrat. Come to think of it, this shows the way for a future SOCIALIST government to seize the collective WEALTH of ALL the American plutocrats. The might of THE STATE over private property . WHO can resist ?

BREAKING NEWS: House Republicans Bash Chuck Schumer's Call For New Elect...

American imperialism and Israeli ZIONISM together forever in crimes against humanity . A while back proud ZIONIST Jew Democrat Chuck Schumer said that he wants to be APARTHEID Israel's " guardian angel ". American Secretary of State Antony Blinken had a mentor in the ZIONIST Jew war criminal American Secretary of State Henry Kissinger ( this is world public opinion speaking ! ) In the Joe Biden administration there has really been nothing much but fawning and winking on Israel leader Benjamin Netanyahu ( already a war criminal in the mind of world public opinion ). And nothing much but fawning and winking on the warmonger embezzler of " Greater Israel " Ukraine, V. Zelensky. ( Zelensky himself said that he wants his Ukraine to learn from Israel ) . But the working class people of the world have no difficulty distinguishing the OPPRESSOR from the OPPRESSED. No puzzle why BLACK LIVES MATTER rallies in " OUR democracy " feature Palestinian flag waving. The mainstream news media in the United States will never be able to " sell " nuclear World War III to the American people. Not with stale Wilsonian blather that was false more than a century ago. A nice " Tumultuous Sixties " THOUGHT CRIME : " What if THEY start a war and nobody shows up ? "

Putin will die if he doesn't stay in power | Bill Browder

Say that " OUR democracy " -today represented by Trump vs. Biden - has so much to teach Putin's POST-COMMUNIST Russia ? How many trained combat troops ( not too stupid or ignorant ) can American imperialism , and the bourgeois governments of Old Europe , recruit to fight side by side with war criminal Netanyahu in APARTHEID Israel and warmonger ,embezzler Zelensky in " Greater Israel " Ukraine ? Under the banner of the FREE WORLD ? Can stale Wilsonian blather -false more than a century ago-arouse jackass war fever in the very masses oppressed by capitalism and American imperialism ? The ZIONIST Jew controlled mainstream news media is that credible and effective ? Once again " make the world safe for " ... American imperialism and Israeli Zionism ?

Since when do these ZIONIST Jew hostages - most of them occupiers of Palestinian land - deserve more compassionate concern than tens of thousands of genocide victims in Gaza, Palestine ?

Just how much support should " OUR democracy " give the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu ?

Robert De Niro on Trump Being “So F**king Stupid,” Being at the Oscars &...

Robert De Niro is a very talented , gifted actor. But no less a LEFT-WING revolutionary than the Russian Bolshevik Leon Trotsky wrote that personal hatred can have disastrous consequences in politics. Does personal hatred for Donald Trump blind actor Robert De Niro to the latent FASCISM in the Joe Biden's WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party ? Which party today is the greater threat to FREE SPEECH ? That should matter a lot to artists, actors, and writers. I speak as a long time independent democratic socialist. It is highly delusional for " liberal " Democrats to think that THEY own " OUR democracy ", that Donald Trump and working class CHRISTIAN " deplorables " are the root of all evil in it. PRO-APARTHEID Israel ZIONIST Jews, highly influential in Hollywood ,are hardly paragons of moral perfection. And more and more of their movies are WOKE ideology nonsense. Most decent Americans have had quite enough of Catholic Church bashing . Friendly visits to abortion clinics - where LIFE is terminated - are hardly morally edifying to the masses of FAITHFUL Catholics. What might in certain circumstances be considered " necessary evil " need not be celebrated.

HOW DO CATS APOLOGIZE TO HUMANS? 🔥

Pet lovers do not deceives themselves when they believe that their beloved pets have REAL emotions very similar to what their owners feel. And REAL science supports this view. Charles Darwin writes about this in his classic chapter " The Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals ". It is our very MAMMALIAN brain that makes us connect with THEIR mammalian brain. How often do we read about a dog risking its very life to save a child ? I read about a beloved cat in a nursing home who seemed to smell death approaching and would leap on the bed and " comfort " a dying patient. To hear a radio talk show celeb say " your pets do not really love you ! " is unbearable nonsense. Oh, it's just a trick to get fed ? Yea, like your beloved kid !

@PunkiBrooster
That's a lot of words to not even say that the majority of Zionists are evangelical Christians who are republicans but ok. Nice manifesto
@ronruggieri9817
Crackpot CHRISTIAN Zionists are not carrying out genocide in Gaza, Palestine. CHRISTIAN Zionists are the proverbial useful idiots for ATHEIST Zionists who may even see themselves as followers of the reactionary ZIONIST Jew philosopher Ayn Rand . I suspect that the real rulers of APARTHEID Israel are followers of Ayn Rand- not Moses and Old Testament " Promised Land " mythology. Some years ago just about EVERY Republican candidate for president of the United States was an avowed disciple of " A Life of Contempt " - read the biography - Ayn Rand.

Deceptive Ads of 2021

We live in the Golden Age of False Advertising . Since -in general -the CAPITALIST SYSTEM is based on lies and brutality - we would be foolish to EXPECT truth in advertising. I notice how local talk radio celebs ( here in Rhode Island 630 WPRO ) do not just present commercials anymore . They slobber over the sponsors. I texted this comment to them : "Slobbering over your sponsors for long minutes on the air can only undermine your credibility as HUMAN beings." Of course ,THAT text never got quoted during a program . Above all , PRESCRIPTION DRUG ADVERTISING should be banned on TV. Those puked out on TV news ( here channels 10, 12 , and 6 ) are especially insane and pernicious. The message is always " See your doctor ! " Yes, how very impressed he will be with his TV watching zombie patients !

American imperialism and Israeli Zionism always define their enemies as " terrorists ".

For example, why is it OK for the war criminal of Zionist APARTHEID Israel , Benjamin Netanyahu, to have a nuclear arsenal ( winked at by its together forever ally American imperialism ) and NOT Islamic Iran ? The leaders of the " unfree " world do not rise to the high morals of Joe Biden & Son , Donald Trump & Son-in-Law in " Our democracy " . Or the war criminal Netanyahu in Israel and the warmonger, embezzler Zelensky in " Greater Israel " Ukraine ?

Some conservative voices tell the truth when they insist that real RACISM today in ensconced in the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party. I speak as a longtime independent democratic socialist .

Crisis in Haiti

A revolutionary SOCIALIST party in Haiti could quickly take advantage of the " chaos " and truly represent the Haitian people.

Schumer Calls On Israelis To OUST Netanyahu

Long ago ZIONIST Jew Senate leader Democrat Chuck Schumer said he wants to be " guardian angel " of Israel. His party and the Joe Biden administration is packed with warmongering ZIONIST Jews. At most they have only tactical differences with the war criminal Netanyahu over the genocide agenda in Gaza, Palestine. Do not count on the New York Times to give a louder voice to the anti-war movement in this country. In general, can the ZIONIST controlled mainstream new media in " OUR democracy " arouse "patriotic " war fever in the mostly CHRISTIAN working class masses for nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia ? I like what I read on the WORLD SOCIALIST WEB SITE this morning : [ "In the course of his remarks, Schumer admitted—for the first time—that members of the Israeli government have stated their intention to carry out the ethnic cleansing of the population of Gaza. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and Defense Minister Ben Gvir are “clear in their desire to displace [Palestinians] from their homes and replace them with Israeli settlers,” Schumer said.
