Will Netanyahu Bomb Iran's Oil Facilities To Help His Ally Trump Retake The U.S. Presidency?

  He may well. He's ruthless enough. This is a man who exterminates babies. How would that help Trump? It would cause a sharp (temporary) rise in oil prices, which in turn raises gasoline prices. And Americans hate nothing more than paying more for gasoline. They would hold the Biden-Harris regime responsible. Trump would loudly scapegoat the Democratic regime for his own benefit in the presidential election less than a month away.

Americans are stupid people who think the president of the U.S. controls the economy and controls the prices of products. And Trump has harped on blaming the Biden regime for inflation. The Democrats have been lame in reaction. Instead of refuting that nonsense, they squirm under the barrage of false accusations and point to this or that they did to lower the price of this or that (such as the handful of medical drugs that Medicare is now allowed to negotiate the prices they pay for).

Kamala Harris made it worse by promising to lower grocery prices- something the president has no power to do. The U.S. isn't a socialist nation. The Government cannot dictate the prices that eggs or milk sell for at retail, for example. By doing this, Harris tacitly agreed with Trump that presidents have such power, and by implication the Biden regime is responsible for inflation.

Inflation has various causes, and inflation of particular products can be effected by all kinds of events- a shortfall in crop yield, a disease that wipes out chickens, and so on. These are not under the control of the White House. Maybe sometime a politician might want to tutor the moronic American public about this- if the totalitarian corporate media will let them, that is.

There's an irony here, in that Biden has been 100% behind Israel's genocide in Gaza, pogrom in the West Bank, and terrorism campaign against Lebanon. But he supposedly fulminates against Netanyahu in private, to his own staff. That's enough to make Netanyahu favor Trump. And when he was president, Trump couldn't have been more Zionist. The fact that Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner is a fanatical Zionist, and Trump's daughter Ivanka converted to Orthodox Judaism to be allowed to marry Jared, can't hurt. Oh by the way, when Jared was a boy, Netanyahu used to stay at the Jared family home in New Jersey! So with those kind of tight personal connections, it would be surprising if Binyamin Netanyahu DIDN'T favor Trump!

And by the way, Israel has a long and complex record of interfering in U.S. politics and U.S. elections. The details take a book to describe. Just trust me on this, and do your own research if you want to learn more. 

Tough Guy!

Israel Invades Lebanon Yet Again

 U.S. Sending Thousands MORE Troops To Middle East To Support Israel's Invasion of Lebanon

The U.S. has now joined Israel in bombing undefended people in Syria and Yemen.

The U.S. has been increasing in stages its military forces for aggression for the purpose of further intimidating Iran to sit on its hands. And if the U.S. joins the Israeli invasion on the ground, it won't be the first time the U.S. has invaded Lebanon. Eisenhower invaded Lebanon in the 1950s. Reagan invaded Lebanon in the 1980s. And the way U.S. elites "remember" THAT invasion is through the twisted prism of the U.S. was the "victim" of a "terrorist attack." Namely, a truck bomb was driven into a U.S. Marine base, killing several hundred Marines. This prompted Reagan to pull the troops out, and punish the Lebanese by having a U.S. battleship lob 16" diameter cannon shells on Lebanese villages. (Reagan had taken World War II battleships out of mothballs for such purposes. Battleships have no role in naval warfare today, as they are easily sunk by aircraft, missiles, and torpedoes. Their only purpose after World War II is to murder defenseless people in the "Third World," that is, the NON-"WHITE" areas of earth.)

The resistance strike on the Marines' is considered a terrorist outrage, the same as the Nazis considered resistance attacks on their occupying armies "terrorism." They also responded with revenge murders of random civilians as well as any resistance fighters they could find. 

The recent assassination by Israel of a Lebanese commander blamed for the Marines' deaths was noted with satisfaction by the U.S. media.

Meanwhile the Lebanese are the victims of actual terrorism. There is the mass terror attack when Israel detonated 3000 booby-trapped pagers and radios, killing at least 37 and blowing off the fingers of victims and blinding many. Some of the victims were medical personnel. Lebanon's medical system is already crippled by years of economic depression. Lebanon's "government" is simply a collection of different factions and cliques of thieves. Israel and the U.S. over the years have succeeded in making Lebanon a dysfunctional state. (The vile Syrian regime of the Assad crime family also played a malign role)

Lebanon is being subjected to an aerial blitz by Israel, targeting apartment buildings and other civilian targets. Much worse than the Blitz London suffered in World War II, because BRITAIN HAD AN AIR FORCE THAT SUCCESSFULLY FOUGHT BACK. LEBANON HAS NO AIR FORCE, NO ANTI-AIRCRAFT WEAPONS, NO "SHIELD" LIKE ISRAEL HAS TO SHOOT DOWN THE INEFFECTIVE ROCKETS HEZBOLLAH FIRES AT ISRAEL, WHICH HAVE KILLED NO ONE.

Yet U.S. media and politicians keep wringing their hands about the danger ISRAEL is exposed to! What if Hezbollah escalates!

Escalates how?

When Hezbollah fired a single rocket in the direction of Tel Aviv, WHICH ISRAEL SHOT DOWN, this was presented as equivalent to the ongoing bombardment of Lebanon by Israel, and the non-stop assassination of Hezbollah "commanders," which just included the long time head of Hezbollah, Hasan Nasrallah. (Reminiscent of the murder of Yasir Arafat on the orders of Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon, by radioactive polonium poisoning.)

A big reason Israel is always murdering the leadership of its opponents is to completely eliminate the "danger" of negotiations. Negotiations are poison to Israel. They wish only to conquer by force. 

Which is to say, Israel is an imperialist state, back by the world's most powerful empire, the most powerful empire in history, the U.S. Whose political class, media, and government Israel has colonized, like a brain worm.

The Grinning Gargoyles of U.S. Imperialism

U.S. Senator John Fetterman "Loves" Blinding and Maiming People

Thousands of them at a time, in fact.

That's was his reaction to the mass terrorist attack by Israel on thousands of Lebanese people whose pagers and radios were booby-trapped by Israel and simultaneously caused to explode on September 16 and 17.

Fetterman is one of the two U.S. Senators from Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania's governor, Josh Shapiro, is also an ardent Zionist, like Fetterman.

What is with these Americans with their fanatical devotion to a foreign country?

Children were among the victims.

The Iranian ambassador was one of those wounded. That's yet another in the numerous Acts of War Israel has committed against Iran in the last few decades. And so much for the Big Media Lie that ALL THE THOUSANDS OF VICTIMS ARE "HEZBOLLAH"! And since Hezbollah is a "terrorist organization," anything you do to "terrorists" is justified.

You wouldn't know it from the smug U.S. media, satisfied with the terrorism, but the UN, and human rights organizations, have properly condemned the attacks as war crimes and human rights violations.

When are the "non-white" peoples and nations of the world going to learn that "the West," the white racist imperialist nations- the U.S., its master Israel, and the stooge nations of Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, are their enemies? Five hundred years of murder and mayhem and oppression. Buy Chinese is the solution. I don't like China, but they probably won't let Israel plant explosives in their products. Just make sure Chinese ships and planes deliver the products.

Fetterman, like Israel the country he loves so much, and like the U.S. media, pretends that everyone maimed, blinded, and murdered was a "member" of Hezbollah. Which in their twisted minds justifies it. Of course that's false. Fetterman said on the NBC Sunday morning political propaganda show Meet the Press September 22, of the mass terror attack that traumatized everyone in Lebanon, since they couldn't know what other common device might suddenly explode: "I absolutely support that. And in fact, if anything I love it. And Israel has demonstrated that they will not allow terrorists not to be held accountable, and I fully support that." Even if the "terrorists" are children, apparently. What an immoral, despicable, bloodthirsty creep.

This is the face of the Democratic Party. So by his logic, members of that party should be assassinated.

                                  EVIL 6'7" DUDE JOHN FETTERMAN

"Failed Assassination Attempt" On Trump Gives Trump Big Boost, And Democrats Immediately Rush To Undercut Themselves. Trump All But Clinches Election.

 A 20-year-old registered Republican opened fire with a rifle at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania, killing one MAGA-head and wounding two critically, but merely grazing Trump's ear, who benefited from a very photogenic streak of blood on his face. Not missing a beat, he defiantly raised a fist for the photographers. (The shooter was also said to have given a small donation to a Democratic-Party-linked organization.) 

Conveniently, the Secret Service executed the would-be assassin on the spot. So no Lee Harvey Oswald or James Earl Ray or Sirhan Sirhan, left alive to complicate the propaganda story for the spinners of the legend that will be planted around this event and become official "history." (Just saying.)

The shooter was obviously not trained as a sniper. If he had been, he would have known not to go for a headshot. Heads are a smaller target than torsos, and move around more. (This I learned from a youtube video, which the shooter could have easily done too, had he made a decent effort to prepare himself. I have a lifelong interest in military matters, which is how I came to watch such a video.) The young shooter was probably misled by entertainment industry garbage featuring make-believe assassins. Then again, Trump may well have been wearing a bullet"proof" vest. Keep in mind that there is no such thing as an absolutely bulletproof vest. Such protective devices come in various levels of protection, depending on the type of projectiles they are designed to stop. Still, the shooter would have been wiser to aim just below the throat, or make for himself copper-tipped bullets, for example, which have greater penetrating power than the soft lead that most bullets are made from. (Bullets made from harder metals are outlawed for the public, under pressure from police, who branded them as "cop-killer" bullets.)

The Democrats immediately made things worse for themselves by spewing hysterical rhetoric, as if Trump was their beloved grandmother. Instead of issuing pro-forma "expressions of concern" and stuff like "of course we condemn violence," they went into overdrive, as if to prove their loyalty to Trump. Top Democratic politicians fulminated that they were "shocked" and "horrified" and condemned the attack in the strongest terms. Contrast that with how Republicans would respond to a violent attack on Biden. They would issue lukewarm, milktoast expressions of concern, while some of them, and especially their various fascist auxiliaries, would blame Biden and the Democrats for bringing the attack on themselves. In the shooting at the Trump rally, the despicable J.D. Vance has already blamed the DEMOCRATS for the shooting, because of their rhetoric. Vance, a totally amoral hustler, parlayed a book and his strategic move of linking himself to Trump into a U.S. Senate seat from Ohio, and now the vice-presidential pick by Trump after only a year and a half as a Senator. He is one of many ambitious, ethical-and-conscience-free self-promoters who have attached themselves to Trump, like suckerfish hitching a ride on a shark's body.

The Democrats, if they weren't so lame, would learn something from Vance and make insinuating remarks about how Trump's long history of violent rhetoric and incitement (most especially his failed coup attempt of January 6, 2021 which Republicans and their propagandist auxiliaries like Tucker Carlson now insist was a peaceful rally!) has come back to bite him. They could remark that "He who lives by the sword, dies by the sword." They could mention how Trump sent a U.S. Marshal's death squad to execute Antifa fighter Michael Reinoehl. (They wouldn't because they fully supported that murder, as did the U.S. media. The eyewitnesses to the execution reported that Reinoehl was summarily gunned down on sight without warming.

Instead the Democrats instinctively obeyed Trump's call for "unity" and united in wishing Trump well, expressing great relief that he was unharmed, and on and on. Pathetic, and typical of Democratic Party weakness. This weakness is a big reason Trump will probably beat Biden (or whoever) in November. People follow "leaders" who seem strong. Feeble, senile, fumbling over his words, slurring his speech, tripping on stairs Biden projects weakness. And "debating" Trump while in the throes of a senility episode starkly illustrated his weakness and incapacity. This man insists on being president of the United States for four more years? Both he and his party are demented.

Biden's handpicked U.S. Attorney General, Merrick Garland, a man deprived of a Supreme Court seat by Senate Republicans led by Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, called the botched (deliberately?) shooting "an attack on democracy." Well if Trump is a THREAT to democracy, (which he is, whether Democrats believe their own rhetoric or not), then attempting to kill Trump is a DEFENSE of democracy. That is, of the tawdry simulacrum of democracy that exists in the U.S., which is a corporate oligarchy and a bourgeois class dictatorship fronted by a two-party political cartel which monopolizes political power. "Democracy" in the U.S. means every two but especially four years the two imperialist factions that are the Democratic and Republican Parties fight over power, and the power establishment's propaganda system has the job of working to generate artificial excitement in the "race," which they literally cover as if it is a sporting event, and tries to herd people into voting booths, since legitimizing the power system necessitates the appearance that it is "the people" who choose the unchanging and unchangeable (short of revolution) power system. 

But as bad as that is, it is preferable to the fascistic dictatorship Trump has made clear he plans to institute. And with a large and organized group of long-time fascists such as the Heritage Foundation as his cadres, he has thousands of goons salivating at the prospect of taking over the government and remaking it to their liking. And this is not new. These people have been around for decades. (I closely followed the so-called "New Right," their chosen label, extremist goons of the 1970s and later, whose slogan was "We're Ready to Rule.")

As for Biden himself, the Boss of the Democratic Party, he immediately made an ass of himself, as he so often has done throughout his "career," announcing that political violence is "unheard of" in the U.S. That's rather like claiming the earth is flat, and doesn't revolve around the sun. Even NPR major domo Mara Liasson contradicted him on air the morning after the shooting (Sunday morning), pointing out the murders of two Kennedys and Martin Luther King, Jr. Predictably, she omitted to mention that all were CIA assassinations with FBI aiding and abetting, and crucially, media as enablers to this day. And the co-conspiring city police departments, Dallas, TX, Los Angeles, California, and Memphis, Tennessee. And let me add the numerous political assassinations by the CIA, FBI, and various police departments, plus freelance fascists murdering progressive protesters and getting away with it. Texas governor Greg Abbott just pardoned a fascist terrorist who committed premeditated murder of a "leftwing" protester (he posted messages in advance with his intent), erasing the murderer's conviction.

By the way, the FBI, which handled the cover-ups in the state murders of the Kennedys and King, as well as in all other state crimes, is handing the "investigation" of this one too. Which simply means, an untrustworthy organization is doing yet another political investigation. So a word of advice: take the result with more than a mere pinch of salt. Use the entire salt shaker.

The United States has for years been in a situation analogous to the Weimar Republic of Germany (1919-1933), where an ostensibly democratic government protected fascist murderers by not prosecuting them or giving them wristslap punishments while harshly repressing their communist foes. This was a key factor in the growth of the Nazi Party, which wasn't even impeded by Hitlers 1923 coup attempt. Someone attempted to overthrow the government, and he got a very light sentence, comfortable conditions of confinement, and was allowed in prison to write his deadly manifesto, Mein Kampf. 

And just as Hitler could play the martyr after his failed coup attempt, now Trump is playing the martyr-card. Which he was already doing with his criminal cases and one conviction (on 34 felonies for fradulent business records in a New York State trial, the ONLY trial that has actually occurred so far, thanks to Republican judges obstructing prosecutions in his Federal cases for stealing boxes of classified documents and the January 1, 2001 coup attempt, judges including 6 of the 9 Supreme Court "Justices" and Federal District Court judge Aileen Cannon, who has stymied the prosecution in the classified documents case at every turn and now even refuses to set a trial date).

So the brave, strong martyr Trump has defied death, defied the "haters" (most of the haters in the U.S. support Trump), and is unbowed and determined. How are the Democrats going to beat this?

They probably aren't. They insisted on putting up a senile man four years ago, and they're doing it again.
 

HEROIC LEADER AND SAVIOR OF THE NATION SURVIVES INCOMPETENT ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT!

  (And he wasn't even shot. No bullet entered or passed through his body. His ear was lightly grazed, creating an extremely minor flow of blood- just enough for Trump to strike a pose.)

Nikki Haley's Message To The Palestinian People: Kill All Of You!

 

NIKKI HALEY'S VALENTINE TO A SADISTIC, TERRORIST STATE, CHEERING ON THEIR GENOCIDE.

NIKKI HALEY'S GIFT TO THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE, WHICH YOU PAID FOR WITH YOUR TAXES.

DIE, PALESTINIANS, DIE!

That's what Nikki Haley wants to see. It's a message she delivered via an explosive artillery shell. The same ones used to blow up hospitals, universities, mosques, homes. A shell given to Israel for free by the U.S. It's a message Haley was eager to see publicized in the world's media. She's quite proud of herself.

And no, it's not just Hamas that is the target. If Hamas were the only target, Israel would not have blown up all the hospitals in Gaza. It would not have assassinated or taken hostage doctors, nurses, ambulance drivers. It would not have blown up every university in Gaza. It would not be systematically bombing and shelling food convoys, warehouses, and people gathered a food distribution locations- all locations, places, and routes prearranged with Israel's "permission." It would not be deliberately starving the entire population of Gaza. Its snipers would not be murdering children. And on, and on, and on.

I remember how despicable Haley was as the Trump-appointed U.S. ambassador to the UN. Her hatred for the Palestinians was a hallmark of her "service" as the U.S. representative to that world body. So no one should be surprised at her despicable, vicious behavior today.

This is a woman who defended the Confederacy, that vile slave nation formed specifically for slavery. You would think that after 150 years or so, politicians would stop upholding it.

And to think, that this woman was the hope of the anti-Trump Republicans, the kind who bloviate on The Bulwark. That tiny band of anti-Trump reactionaries are no better than Trump.

For that matter, on foreign policy, (i.e. U.S. imperialism) the Democrats are the same, and sometimes worse, than the Republicans. Like they used to say, "partisanship ends at the water's edge." That is, both parties are imperialist to their cores. Their only differences are on domestic policy- how to treat the populace in the U.S. The Democrats favor letting the poor have some crumbs, and women getting abortions- if they can arrange it themselves. The Republicans can't stand that the poor get crumbs, and that fetuses are being killed.

So there you have it in a nutshell- the two-party political cartel or dictatorship that rules America on behalf of the corporate oligarchy they serve.

  Nice lady.

Why Only HAMAS Can Fight Israel

  Because the situation of the Palestinians is hopeless. And it has BEEN hopeless since 1948 and even before. There are strong world powers that have always been against the Palestinians, starting with Britain, then the U.S. and Israel. But no organized power, no government, has ever really been on their side. Sure, Arab states have talked a good game at times- but they don’t even do THAT anymore! And Iran doesn’t care enough to go to war with Israel, a heavily armed nuclear power backed by the U.S. and Europe. Iran didn’t even retaliate when Israel was murdering its nuclear physics INSIDE IRAN, and sabotaging its nuclear facilities (with U.S. connivance- such as the notorious malware used to wreck Iran’s uranium centrifuges).Because the situation of the Palestinians is hopeless.

Iran didn’t even retaliate when Israel was murdering its nuclear physics INSIDE IRAN, and sabotaging its nuclear facilities (with U.S. connivance- such as the notorious malware used to wreck Iran’s uranium centrifuges).

So why does the hopelessness of the Palestinians’ situation mean that ONLY HAMAS can fight back? Because HAMAS is fanatical. And it takes fanatics to ignore reality and fight hopeless causes.

I’m not arguing that fanaticism is a good thing. I am pointing out an objective fact. Fanatics ignore the hopeless odds because of their fanatical dedication to their cause. What HAMAS did on October 7, 2023, has had disastrous consequences. (Similarly, Adolf Hitler’s fanaticism had disastrous consequences for Germany. Although Germany recovered, backed by the almighty U.S.A. The Palestinians never will.)

The same argument about the utility of fanaticism applies to Hezbollah in Lebanon. But that wasn’t hopeless, just nearly so. Yet Hezbollah finally drove out the Israeli occupation forces from Southern Lebanon, and defeated Israel’s Quisling Lebanese “army” Israel created.

Fanatics will undertake hopeless tasks. John Brown, the fanatical American abolitionist and martyr to the anti-slavery cause, is a good example.

Hamas did have success in driving the Israeli colonizers out of northern Gaza. Then prime minister Ariel Sharon, a man who literally spent his entire adult life killing Palestinians, first as an army commando leader who raided Palestinian villages in the 1950s, then as “Defense” minister who oversaw the massacre of thousands of Palestinians in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in Lebanon, and finally as the prime minister who ordered the murder of Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat, a murder from which the Palestinians have never recovered. This elimination enabled the U.S. and Israel to install a puppet “leadership” at the head of Fatah, designate them the “Palestinian Authority,” have the CIA create a secret police for them, and allow them to oppress the Palestinians trapped in the West Bank in partnership with Israel. Now that Israel is conducting a full-scale pogrom in the West Bank, with 500 murdered since October 7, 2023, and massive theft of Palestinian homes, lands, livestock, and other property, this puppet “leadership” has outlived its usefulness for Israel. Its “president,” Mahmoud Abbas, has recently taken to occasionally issuing a pathetic bleat about the ongoing atrocities against the people he pretends to lead.

Now we are almost 7 months into a Palestinian Holocaust in Gaza. The U.S. is the main culprit here, since it cannot occur without U.S. weapons and other support. Europe too has played a despicable, morally depraved role. And in the U.S. and Europe, the so-called “democratic West,” the mask is off the facade of “rights” and “freedom,” as happens every time there is really opposition from part of the populace to the criminal “policies” of the rulers. There has been violent police repression of nonviolent protest camps on several college campuses in the U.S. In Germany, the police prevent conferences on the ongoing genocide to be held. Displaying the Palestinian flag is a crime in Germany. In the UK the story is the same. Empty blather from prime minister Rishi Sunak about the “right” to protest, immediately qualified with a promise to back the police in suppressing the protests. In the U.S., president Genocide Joe Biden says he respects the right to protest, but not the current ones, which are creating “chaos,” a big lie repeated incessantly by the power establishment media and demagogic politicians who serve Israel, not the U.S. Protests against the atrocities are deemed expressions of “anti-Semitism,” and their suppression is demanded by politicians and endorsed by the propaganda system (aka the “mainstream media,” that is, the official propagandists of the corporate oligarchy).

In other words, the mask of “guaranteed rights” and “freedom of expression” is off, and once again, as always in U.S. history when the chips are down, the face of Bourgeois Totalitarianism is exposed.

PLEASE go to democracynow.org to follow the ongoing Palestinian Holocaust. And badger people you know about this issue to try and get them to care. Send them links to pieces on democracynow.org.

Israeli soldiers proudly take credit for the utter destruction of Gaza.

War isn’t all grimness. Fun-loving Israeli conquerors enjoy a Palestinian woman’s stolen underwear.

Election Of New House Speaker Means Greater Slaughter of Palestinians and Escalation Of War Against Russia In Ukraine

Joe "The Butcher" Biden has made clear that his top priority- indeed his one and ONLY priority- is funneling billions of dollars of U.S. bombs and rockets and other weapons to Israel to massacre thousands more Palestinians (as of today Israel has murdered over 6,000 Palestinians in Gaza- over 2,000 were children- and 100 in the West Bank) and to keep using Ukrainians as cannon fodder in the U.S. proxy war against Russia.

Every year Israel receives around $3.8 billion in free weapons from the U.S. Biden's "package" for war that he so urgently wants passed that he went on national television to propagandize the nation about it, would provide $14 billion in additional free money for Israel. Supposedly "only" $10 billion of that is for more bombs for Israel to destroy Gaza. That means the equivalent of over two and a half years of Israel's "normal" quota of weapons will be given to the Israelis in one fell swoop as a "supplement" so they can wreak greater havoc. Israel has bombarded numerous UN facilities, murdering UN personnel, as well as the hospitals and clinics of Gaza. The U.S. and the other nations of "the West," that is, the WHITE nations, all support this to the hilt. (No doubt there's a bit of racism behind this.) The U.S. and its stooges adamantly oppose any ceasefire. They want Israel to exact a Nazi level of retribution against the Palestinians for Hamas daring to attack Israel on October 7. That mandates a ten-to-one kill ratio. Since they now claim that 1,400 Israelis were killed on October 7, that means a minimum of 14,000 Palestinians have to die. Israel in the last few weeks has doubled the number of Palestinians hostages in its prison gulag, to 10,000. It's army and "settlers" are conducting a full-scale pogrom in the West Bank, murdering

Palestinians and destroying their homes, their crops, their property, in an intensification of the "ethnic cleansing" they began with terror in 1948.

But merely killing the Palestinians in Gaza isn't enough. Israel has long hungered to make all the land "from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River" into The Land Of Israel. This necessitates "cleansing" the land of the Palestinians. So several days ago Israel ordered the depopulation of the entire northern half of the tiny Gaza strip, where 2.3 million souls are already crammed in. For good measure, it is bombarding those fleeing.

Ultimately, with food, water, fuel, electricity, and medical supplies cut off, Palestinians will face annihilation by disease and starvation, which is how the Germans (who these days are big backers of Israel) murdered millions of Soviet prisoners of war in World War II. Some predict that Israel will try and drive the Palestinians of Gaza into Egypt's Sinai desert. That's a desert, so millions of people cannot survive there. In a cynical charade, U.S.apparatchiks spoke of how they were "developing a plan" to get aid to Gaza. After about a week and a half of this political Kabuki theater, designed to try and obscure the vicious and barbaric actual policies of Israel and its U.S. patron, a smattering of trucks that had been sitting in Egypt for weeks with desperately needed supplies was allowed into Gaza by Israel- BUT NO FUEL ALLOWED. This stunt was again reminiscent of the public relations ploys of the Third Reich, which staged carefully curated tours of concentration camps for the Red Cross with cleaned-up prisoners threatened beforehand not to depart from the script. To his credit, UN Secretary General António Guterres keeps demanding a half to the barbarism and opening up Gaza for relief supplies. This has made him invisible in most U.S. media and prompted vituperative denunciations of him by Israeli officials, who are demanding his resignation. (The U.S. is undoubtedly already sharpening its knives for him.)

As for Ukraine, on top of the $100 billion or so in weapons the U.S. has given to the Kyiv regime to fight Russia (plus arms and ordnance from the Europeans) Biden is demanding another $60 billion in armaments for that war which the U.S. did almost everything possible to provoke. The remainder of the total $106 billion war package is for Taiwan. The U.S. is determined to prevent a Chinese regime takeover of Taiwan. (I do think it would be terrible for the people of Taiwan to be absorbed into the Chinese totalitarian system of rule. Unlike so many on what is broadly terms the "left," I don't do analysis based on simplistic anti-Americanism. There are, after all, other sources of evil in the world besides the U.S., although of course the U.S. is the most powerful source of evil.)

With the GOP (Gang Of Plunderers) finally finding one among their number in the House they can all agree to like, the horror show for the Palestinians is just beginning, and the meat grinder in Ukraine will chew up more bodies.

So for anybody who thinks it was a bad thing that the U.S. House of Representatives was in a state of paralysis, you didn't do much thinking at all.

The Face of Sheer Evil

 

Trump Forces Biden To Show Up At Autoworkers' Picket Line

Donald J. "Jackass" Trump operates on instinct. Thus much of what he does is impulsive. The vast majority of what he says are for an immediate advantage and represent no actual commitment. The amazing thing is that so many people fall for his obvious emotional manipulations year after year. They never learn from experience, or from facts. 

The UAW (United Auto Workers Union) is currently conducting a series of rolling strikes against the facilities of 3 car companies: General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis (formerly Chrysler). Trump did what he so often does, opportunistically and completely insincerely pretending to side with the workers. (All his policies, his actual actions, while president, were pro-capital and anti-worker, just as his entire business career has been anti-worker, including wage theft and racial discrimination.) He has repeatedly manipulated various groups of workers this way. (Remember his loudly braying bullshit promises to coal miners?)
 

 

But merely spouting off and once again pretending to be a defender of the working class was enough to force president Joe Biden to schedule a trip to have his picture taken at a UAW picket line. (Previously the White House maintained a determined silence on the question of whether Biden would show up at a picket line in a display of solidarity.)

Biden has rebranded himself as "the most pro-union president in modern history." (Notice that qualifier, "modern history.") Given that U.S. presidents almost all represented capital, not labor, such a boast isn't saying much. In fact, just saying it makes him one of the most "pro-union" presidents in history. The only labor-management dispute he actually took action in, as opposed to just making pronouncements, was the railroads, in which he used Federal power to force the workers to swallow a crappy deal that still leaves them very overworked and with no right to sick days.

The current UAW head, Shawn Fain, is a genuine labor leader, not a self-serving, corrupt betrayer as so many union heads in the U.S. have been. He has no use for Trump, and Trump as usual with people who resist being his sycophants, verbally abuses Fain. Trump is supposed to go to Detroit (but not necessarily to a UAW picket line, where he won't have a controlled crowd who he can rely on to cheer him) on September 27. BIden is scheduled to beat him to the punch and join a UAW picket line for the media to document on September 26, to publicize his claim to being The Most Pro-Union President. (TM).

Another one of Biden's reelection shticks is "Bidenomics," whatever that is. Unfortunately for Biden and the Democrats, that buzzword isn't having the desired effect. Democratic politicians and Biden cabinet members publicly boast of Biden's legislative results and cite economic statistics constantly. So far it seems the public doesn't hear them. The latest poll has 30% of respondents approving of Biden's handling of the economy, 64% disapproving. [1] Which is unfair, since the president of the U.S. doesn't control the economy- the Federal Reserve, which sets interest rates, and Congress have far more effect on the economy.

Biden spent decades in the Senate spearheaiding legislation that harmed average Americans, especially the working class, to give more power and wealth to the finance industry- banks and credit card companies. He saw to it that by law, student debt cannot be discharged in bankruptcy. It can follow a person to the grave. 

He took the lead in pushing through draconian "anti-crime" laws that targeted the lower classes, especially African Americans, who he accused, in what should be an infamous speech on the Senate floor, of potentially hitting his mother in the head with a lead pipe. [2] He was a staunch opponent of so-called "forced busing," meaning school integration. His closest allies and avowed best friends in the Senate were the worst Southern segregationists.

And while mentioning The Crimes of Biden, we can't omit one of the worst things he did that has caused and is still causing lasting damage: the elevation to the Supreme Court of the mediocre, corrupt, bitter, extreme reactionary Clarence Thomas. As the Senator who chaired the Judiciary Committee for Thomas' confirmation hearings, Biden blocked corroborating witnesses for Anita Hill from testifying, and privately advised Democratic Senators not to believe Hill. This enabled Thomas to be narrowly confirmed by the Senate. [3] 

Regarding Thomas' corruption: he has received millions of dollars worth of favors and gifts from billionaires while a high court "Justice," which he kept secret. Thomas lives the life of a multimillionaire for free, courtesy of his billionaire patrons, whose economic interests he protects at the court.

 Invariably, I have noticed, extreme reactionaries and fascists are personally corrupt. Since they completely lack normal moral values and are unrestrained in their behavior, this seems  inevitable. Samuel Alito, the other most extreme reactionary on the tyrannical high court, has also been exposed as corrupt. We owe gratitude to ProPublica for exposing the venality of these two evil people.

But reactionary Democrats doing a political burlesque pretending to be progressives is typical of them. They are absolutely shameless about it. When he was Governor of New York state, the rightwing bully and sexual miscreant Andrew Cuomo once asserted that HE was the MOST progressive politician in the state!

In my experience, 99 times out of 100, when you scratch a liberal, you find a reactionary right under the surface.

1] ABC News/Washington Post poll just announced as of this writing.

2] See the video, "Biden's Racist Rant Promoting One of His Numerous Crime Bills," In the video, Biden refers to blacks as "they" and "them." I don't think he meant Albanians or Martians. To broaden and deepen your political and historical understanding, you need to view more videos at the Jason Zenith channel.

3] Biden's despicable role in Thomas' elevation to the dictatorial high court was documented years ago in the book "Strange Justice: The Selling of Clarence Thomas," by Jane Mayer and  Jill Abramson. Both were reporters at The Wall Street Journal at the time.

Mayer went on to become a staff reporter at The New Yorker uber bourgeois magazine, and  Jill Abramson became the first female top editor at The New York Times, the self-styled power establishment "newspaper of record." So these two cannot be dismissed as leftwing "conspiracy theorists." And yet this information has been completely suppressed by "the" media, by simply never mentioning it. Thus another taboo truth.

"World Leaders" Is A Propaganda Term For Country Bosses

We've been subjected to much blather about "world leaders" as the political class that rules countries meets at the UN to orate. This propaganda term is used ubiquitously in media. It is absurd. How many of the politicians who rise to the top political positions in their nations are inspirational leaders whose people are their followers? It is a conceit by politicians, and the propaganda systems use this term to support the political rulerships of their respective countries.

Here's another example of how propaganda media use the word "leader" to twist reality and gaslight people. Corporate bosses are NEVER "bosses" in capitalist media. They are always and only "leaders." The word "boss" is reserved for labor union officials. There are "union bosses," but no corporate bosses, no business bosses. So if you're a worker, your boss isn't your boss, he/she is your Leader, and you are inspired to follow! Your boss is a union official, if you're even in a union. 

This dishonest charade serves to hide the fact that corporate bosses are powerful rulers. In the United States and other countries, the governments are the servants of powerful corporations. After World War II the U.S. created entire organizations to enforce the power of U.S. corporations to exploit other nations. For example, the CIA exists to overthrow governments that don't serve U.S. corporate interests.

A "World Leader:"

                    Is he your leader? Do you follow him?

 

Larry Summers Attacks Biden Regime For Upholding Rule of Law

 There he goes again. The guy who helped cause the financial crisis of 2008, Lawrence "Larry" Summers, attacked the Biden regime for merely weakly starting up enforcement of Federal anti-trust law after decades of none or virtually no enforcement! Here's what this eminence grise of high finance, an accomplice to Bill Clinton's destruction of Glass-Steagall and other safeguards which led directly to the 2008 debacle, just said, quoting a report on the radio propaganda network of Michael Bloomberg Billionaire: "Larry Summers is warning that the Biden administration's crackdown on mergers is almost like a war on business." 

Well hey, Larry, what do you expect from those "Socialist" Democrats!

Among Summers' other crimes: when he was president of Harvard University, he publicly opined that there were fewer women in science because they just weren't as SMART as men. Thanks for sharing your sexist insight with everybody, Larry the Lout!
