    Total nonsense...the only reason people will listen to something like this is so they can nod their heads and say I told you so... It might help the cause but not through the mechanism of genuine compassion, more from a hatred of the other. It is just another manifestation of spiritual ugliness.

    But the ever increasing public pressure is in the process of creating huge cracks in that thin veneer, and there's no back up plan, Caesar is literally being disrobed in the town square.

    This is a relatively mild one, but case in point: the Biden/Harris campaigns are starting to freak out over very in your face protest at their rallies, there's nowhere to run nowhere to hide, so they're just starting to ban Muslim people who they think may be trouble.

    So this is liberal (not left!) hypocrisy at its finest. The Harris campaign here in Las Vegas trots out a gay man, a brown man and a black woman, to inform two hijab wearing Muslim women that they've been disinvited to the event. They don't even pretend to make up any excuses either, just, you're not coming in period.

    Now can you imagine, the nuclear type of blow up the hypocritical DNC and lap dog media would make this into, were it to happen at an "Orange Man Bad" rally? Holy crap it would blow up the headlines for a week!
    This is very reminiscent of Hillary Clinton's hypocrisy and betrayal of her constituents back in 2016. And we all know who got to live in the White House for four years. It's that same guy who's on the ballots again this year.

    Ahhh, I'm already looking forward to another four years of pompous and narcissistic buffoonery. Should be entertaining again.

    I was being sarcastic, but we both know who the two contestants are that it'll come down to. It'll either be Biden or it'll be Trump. Trump is currently leading in all of the Republican polls, and as per tradition, the incumbent president won't be contested from within his own party.

    I don't know who'll eventually end up in the White House again — it'll be an "again" in either case — because their chances are about equal at the moment, and 1/3 of all US Americans — and one dyslexic Kiwi, and about 90% of Project MAGAlon™ — still believe that Trump's election was stolen from him in 2020.

    Either way, whoever it is, things are fucked. They were already fucked back in 2016, they were fucked again in 2020, and they're still just as fucked in 2024.

    And that's part of the whole conundrum. Any more, "Team Blue" doesn't offer much more than war, lies and hypocrisy. If they had any semblance of substance to offer the people in making their lives a little better, it would be a cake walk to beat a fake populist like Trump.

    But they're virtually devoid of substance, just like "Team Red" with their Orange Jesus, so all they have to offer is that they're not him. Given this shit awful situation that we're already in, a lot of people, me amongst them, don't see that "vote for me to keep bad orange man out", is much of a selling point. We're fucked either way.

    I almost like that saying...it do make sense.... Of course, what would one expect from an empath? Incidentally, I have no idea who she is but I did sign up once but never got past a comment about my cat. Just never went back because it seemed too overtly presumptuous.

    USA is still supporting the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Iran and Houthi rebels are responding to that by attacking US vessels and bases. Biden responds with vengeance. It seems like a very bad call to me. Israel and USA are actually the bad guys in this story.

    Tit-for-Tat, Wind...Israel is the bad guy...They have evil intent, the U.S. is doing what it has to do to maintain an equilibrium at this point. Anything less, is a call for open season on the 'bad' guy...the U.S. Did you watch the video on War-o-Graphics I posted?

    Come on, Wind...I live in this jacked-up country, a.k.a. The Stupidest Citizens in the World. I have a different perspective and a valid one, I might add:

    Historical Parallel AND Perspective: In the early 20th century, the meme/mantra was "Mexico for Mexicans" in where else, Mexico. This sentiment existed because of constant abuse and use of the indigenous and poorer cities, towns, pueblos, and people by ALL northern interests, yes ALL on the American continent, as well as, more than a silly, misguided few European interests, there were many.

    It was a perception we could debate for centuries, and it has been debated for centuries, but is anyone willing to own up to it? Not yet, mostly because most voicing an opinion are uninformed in this here country.

    It's a global dialectic and we just have to get used to the idea, until the Rapture, Armageddon, Nirvana, Utopia, or disintegration. I stand on my belief that the U.S. and its pepos have benign intent for planet Earth, at least 'some' of them. We need to qualify our opinions and statements accordingly, that is my only departure from the zeitgeist.

    Education people in the U.S. are generally less bright than the usual suspects. And this guy does not have an ethnic-neutral position. A better source is needed. Like me, the resident empath.

An adjacent building was also badly damaged in the bombing.

    The Belgian government has summoned the Israeli ambassador in order to demand an explanation, but so far none has been made available yet — or at least, not publicly — at my time of writing this. What's very suspicious however is the timing of this attack, given that Belgium, unlike many other countries, has just recently — i.e. last Wednesday — refused to withdraw its support for UNRWA, which was recently accused by Israel of being linked to Hamas.
    I agree, very suspicious indeed.
    The attack was no mistake. We now have evidence that the IDF had the coordinates of the Enabel building.

    All evidence — from the day the United States of America were created up until today — more than abundantly proves you wrong. Therefore, your opinion is based upon the false sense of patriotism that 90% of all US Americans have coursing through their blood as the result of their indoctrination with pro-US American propaganda from the cradle onward.

    The United States of America is an evil empire whose only goal and only concern is to dominate the world — no more, no less.

    Well lookie here, the self-proclaimed social justice advocate is dropping his mask and showing his racist bias underneath, especially since he hasn't even watched the video and heard the guy speak yet. And this isn't the first time you do this either, because you've already cast judgment before — on Abby Martin, and on other people who testify against your buddy Brandon.

    You're no empath. You only think that you are. Or maybe you don't, but you want us to think that you would be. If you were an empath, then your opinions wouldn't be so overtly partisan to the Democrats.

    Please do not reply to this post. You've lost your credibility on this matter, and nothing you can write will change my mind. You're just as misinformed as Vern is, except that you're championing the opposite side from what he usually posts. Perhaps that is why the two of you get along so well.







    I've just commented on Abby Martin's video above. This is what I wrote.

    I rarely comment on the videos I watch, but I am going to now.

    On Wednesday the 31st of January 2024 the Belgian government refused to withdraw its support for UNRWA. On Thursday the 1st of February 2024, the IDF bombed and completely obliterated the Enabel building in Gaza. Enabel is the Belgian development agency. The building also housed other humanitarian organizations, such as Handicap International. The bombing took place after office hours; there was no one in the building, and therefore there were no casualties inside the building itself. However, a nearby other building --- possibly residential; I do not know — was also badly damaged in the attack.

    The bombing was intentional. The Belgian government now has evidence that the IDF had the coordinates of the Enabel building. How much more evidence does one need to prove that Israel is effectively out for the complete destruction of Gaza and the Palestinian people, and that this is their ONLY objective, from which they will not back off?

    There may not be any official and legal way to do it, but what needs to happen is for the US Empire to have its veto rights in the UN Security Council taken away from them, and possibly, to kick them off of the UN Security Council altogether. And out of NATO, because NATO is the Empire's lapdog for invading and occupying sovereign nations. Without NATO, the schoolyard bully of the world will become ostracized, and without the belligerent Empire squatting down on the UN, Israel will be cut off from their military supplies. Furthermore, without the Empire dictating the Rule of the World, the UN can send in peacekeeping troops in order to protect the Palestinians, tear down the walls of that concentration camp called Gaza, and finally, help rebuild Palestine.

    Humanity's heart is bleeding while armchair warriors massacre innocent people — adults and children alike — without getting their own hands dirty with their blood. This is beyond disgusting, and these perpetrators are all unworthy of still being considered human. It's the 21st century, for crying out loud!
