———–Depopulation. Genocide. Just another Secret War
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been behind the push for America to destroy Iraq, Libya, Syria and now Iran.
America has been Netanyahu’s pawn for decades.An attack by B-2 bombers on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure would destroy the targeted sites, and unleash radioactivity endangering the lives of tens of millions in Iran and hundreds of millions beyond.
Due to radioactive drift, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE, Bahrain, eastern Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and Pakistan also would be severely impacted.
In practical terms, given proximity to Iran, and the direction of the wind, high levels of radiation-induced illness, some fatal, and sharp increases in cancer and birth defects would occur.
Radiation would contaminate and ruin food supplies, agricultural land, farm animals, and water resources hundreds and even thousands of miles from Iran.The eastern regions of Turkey, northwestern India, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kazakhstan would be exposed to moderate contamination.
Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine and Egypt’s Sinai could be affected, depending on the wind.
Israel has long fanned existential fears by conjuring the threat of a nuclear attack by Iran, while being indemnified by the U.S. for its self-styled “defensive” aggression in Gaza, where at least 50,000 Gazans have been killed and over a million Palestinians driven from their homes.
While the widely publicized intent of President Trump to bomb Iran imperils Iran and neighboring countries, it also makes Israel vulnerable to a massive counterstrike from Iran and puts in the bullseye all U.S. troops in the region within 2,500 miles of Iran.

Just another Secret War
• Unconquerable Yemen (Pepe Escobar)soon it becomes clear that Yemen is fighting yet another lethal chapter, now against the Trump 2.0-led CENTCOM, of what is a 10-year war, initiated in March 26, 2015.
“in which all the rich Arab countries” (with the exception of Oman) stood “under the cloak of the most powerful imperialist country in an unsacred coalition against the poorest country in the Arabian Peninsula”.
A trademark “coalition” of willing vassals, led by Saudi Arabia and for a stretch also the UAE, with the U.S. under the Obama-Biden racket “leading from behind” and providing the weapons alongside the British, not only bombed Yemen indiscriminately but also imposed a devastating blockade of air, land and sea, preventing the arrival of medicine, fuel and food, and generating at least 2.4 million displaced people and a cholera epidemic.

Just another secret.• Democrats Attack Musk and Everything that They Once Believed in (Turley)
“Age of Rage”, it is common for people to become the very thing that they despise in others, jettisoning their most cherished values to strike out at those they hate.
Since the election, Democrats have shown that very self-destructive quality of rage in adopting anti-immigrant, anti-free speech, anti-labor, and even anti-environmental positions to get at Donald Trump or his supporters.
It consumes every part of a person.
It is addictive, and it is contagious.
What these rage addicts will not admit, however, is that they like it; they need it.Many Democrats seem to have lost a capacity for shame.
They are disgusted only by the refusal of others to yield to their demands, not the use of any means to achieve political ends.
The question is, what do Democrats like Fahy now stand for when everything they are is now defined by those they hate?

ParticipantErika Chenowith, et al.
There is something that needs to be brought up here. It is not helpful to smear someone who appears to be wholly devoted to non-violent movements with violent aspirations (or, only supporting non-violence because it is more effective than violence.). It really does not help us when we paint our “enemies” as larger-than-life, and more than they really are. There is a good possibility that Chenowith truly believes that violence is not the answer. If pressed, she — and those like her — may find that her non-violent tactics are not working and then may resort to violence. IF that happens, (or if there is clear evidence of involvement in a violent plot,) she should be prosecuted, but we must not start resorting to “pre-crime.” But failure of non-violent action could also jolt her and her compatriots to reassess their radical views. Or, could cause loss of of support from liberals who are less radical.
The whole idea of non-violence working is based upon the premise that the “silent majority” is aware of their own oppression and when the non-violent protest brings this to the forefront of their minds, the majority refuses to follow the unjust system. The way to defang non-violent protest is for there to be no major injustice nor oppression in the system — the non-violent protest will then be largely ignored by the majority, or seen as an oddity of the news cycle — look at the weirdos over there.
If we accuse the actually non-violent of violence, we create injustice and give them power. Let’s not do that.
If the non-violent protestors block a street, arrest them, remove them, charge them with a misdemeanor with a minor consequence and move on. It’s even better if the involved officers are polite and kind, rather than gruff — like the police in the 50’s family TV programs.

ParticipantGhandi in India is the ultimate template for nonviolence.
It worked because the British empire – at a cultural level – was moral. You show all the individual people what is being done in their name and it is INTOLERABLE. You just have to make sure they are shown, because they are already decent enough for this to be effective.
If the British empire did NOT have decency at that individual level, there’d be an apathetic reaction, or perhaps “we need to send more troops, more tanks, hey don’t we have some chemical weapons stocks still left over from the world wars?”
You have to have a populace that does not want their resources used this way AND sufficient integration to affect leadership. Certainly, in no sense, was the British public being TAUGHT morality when Ghandi succeeded. He REACHED moral people in a country that was not too far gone.
The US has lost that integration. Or just barely not lost it. Trump has come along barely in time, but with the US so weak that it appears the best thing he could do is make a deal with Israel to at least not have enemies 360 degrees around him, have some safety he can put his back up against while fighting against forces that are QUITE significant enough without ALSO dealing with the AIPAC machine, Mossad, parts of the US institutions captured by Israel, etc. (I of course mean by “Trump” whatever coalition is behind him) There is no way to integrate the remaining moral sense of the common people into the government without doing the very things he is doing. NO other meaningful course-change of policy is possible anyway until this is achieved.
Give me a magic lamp and yes, I will wish for perfection. I don’t like it, but I also do not know of a better plan than this. Hopefully we up the bluster and bombastic “help” – like, really ham it up, overdo it – while somehow not quite getting into a war with Iran, not quite clearing Gaza, not quite defeating Yemen. Be that worker that you see all day rushing back and forth stacking paper authoritatively, sharpening pencils, etc and turns out to have done almost nothing all day. Massive cruise missile strike on Syria? Yessir Israel, hard at work sir.

ParticipantGenocide in Gaza
Excellent illustration. Non-violent protest against DOGE isn’t likely to get very far — the public does not like “waste, fraud and abuse.” Likewise in support of illegal immigrants — our laws were so badly broken, the influx so great, the crimes by some of them so egregious that we cannot just turn over and tolerate it. (I get the cry of “no person is illegal,” but since the “undocumented” were issued documents, calling them “undocumented immigrants” isn’t really applicable any longer — the immigration status is, quite simply, “illegal.”)
Where the Trump Administration is most likely to cede power to people like Chenowith and their radical non-violent actions is when LEGAL immigrants are kicked out for First Ammendment (legal) activity in support of (legitimately oppressed) Palestine, or when our foolish Congress sends ever more aid and military equipment to Israel who keep using it to commit genocide. Or, bombing the Houthis over actions that affect the US indirectly. (Eh…maybe “acts of war” — which bombing is — are inadvisable when the goal is to wind down a war that one is not directly a party to. “Acts of war” by an indirect player are likely to broaden, not reduce, a conflict!)

ParticipantI just had a super relevant thought regarding Gaza/Israel and domestic US politics. I haven’t seen this anywhere before, but it’s pretty obvious once you consider it.
In the 60’s, you had things that were VERY American like the Peace movement and the Integration movement. A continuation of previous US values, very predictable.
But then the Left attached modern art, modern architecture, drug culture, free love, moral relatavism, anti western civ, etc TO these very American movements and re-branded it The Movement. Meatsuited them.
Did their best to “capture the energy” of these totally reasonable, morally just issues. But with version 1.0 Frankfurt School academic marxism goals in mind – Criticize/corrode, get us to Year Zero.
I think you can tell Boomers who think it is still 1973 are at the top of CURRENT cutting-edge socialist efforts, because they decided to “Do That Vietnam Thing Again”
What did we see with Gaza protests? Almost instantly meatsuited by socialists. CULTURAL warriors pushing into the crowd, making the crowd THEMSELVES, right? People walking around interviewing protesters find that the answer to the Gaza situation is… moar Socialism.
Whatever mysterious blob it is behind all the capture of institutions – INCLUDING corporations – in the US – and blasting everyone with cutting-edge socialist dogma, it decided to capture the current peace movement for Gaza.
UNFORTUNATELY, the adversary on the other side of the table was fucking ISRAEL, so in taking up the peace movement, they took up Israel, AIPAC, Mossad, etc as enemies. That comes as a package.
So the Left losing the 2024 election may have been precisely because their Boomer controllers/leaders thought it was 1973 and wanted to Do That Vietnam Thing Again, thinking somehow Israel was what, ineffectual? ..wouldn’t care??? A horrible miscalculation.
You can imagine the GenX advisor in some back room somewhere TRYING to dissuade them, trapped between effusive Boomers and Millenials, now rolling their eyes after saying, post-election “See? Tried to warn you that it isn’t fucking 1973 and Gaza isn’t fucking Vietnam” only to have the Millenials and Boomers announce they weren’t marxist enough, we’re going with AOC and Hogg now…. GenX socialist sighing, taking a zanex for their headache.

I think that you are correct about the bulk of the British people in Ghandi’s time being moral.
Prior to Covid, I spent a few years in a liberal religious denomination. To my view, those who stayed the course and returned after Covid (masked and vaxxed to the hilt) are crazy and deluded. To them, I am the crazy and inconsiderate one who had the audacity to attend the first post-Covid social, held in a public park, unmasked. I was shunned by those I thought were friends. However, I would not term these people as “immoral.” Misguided, deluded, foolish — they are all of these. Immoral? No.
I still get their choir emails. I see it as a way to monitor “the crazy liberals.” I notice that, if anything, their community is more close knit than prior to Covid.
Much of the US populace is as deluded about Israel as are these liberal choir members who sign a pact to keep their Covid vaxes up to date and attend rehearsals and performances masked whenever anyone has a Covid sniffle. Morality can be mis-placed when one has inaccurate information, and we live in an age of deception. Many Trumpers’ morality is misplaced regarding Israel’s purity of intent. Liberals’ morality is misplaced when it sympathizes with Tren de Aragua members, the rights of sexual predators who take advantage of gender-bending, and the beneficence of Dr. Fauci. Both sides need to calm down and open their eyes and ears to each other. Non-violent action can be the catalyst. (It is not the only one. Historically, for example, The Jungle accomplished this in food safety. The author was a Marxist and was frustrated that his text did not create a socialist revolution. But the US populace was not interested in socialism — it was interested in food purity.)

The “Unipolar World” of $US global financial hegemony is deeply fractured and must be reset before it breaks completely in Derivatives Counterparty Chaos. Peak oil + condensates was November 2018, and since oil is 90% correlated with physical economy, exponential economic growth is over, as exponential growth of debt-based-money has far outpaced it, and is inherently unstable, poised to rapidly collapse in the next panic.
That is our context for all of the drama and intrigue.Eleni has sent 3 articles from March which present the pending imperial $US financial system collapse as the core issue on the global stage.
March 11, discussing the secret “Mar A Lago Accord” of January 21-22: Is Donald Trump managing the possible collapse of the “American empire”? by Thierry Meyssan
However, it is possible that the diplomatic summits are hiding another issue: the prevention of a major economic crisis in the West. In this case, Washington must terrorize its allies to force them to pay off its debts. https://www.voltairenet.org/article221903.html March 20, After Ukraine, Iran? by Thierry Meyssan
For the “revisionist Zionists” (that is, the successors of Ze’ev Jabotinsky and Benzion Netanyahu—not to be confused with Theodor Hertzl’s “Zionists”), the time has come, after the victory over Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Assads, to crush Iran. On the contrary, for Donald Trump, after the pacification of the Ukrainian conflict, the priority must be to pacify the one surrounding Iran. https://www.voltairenet.org/article221951.htmlMarch 25, Western Europeans Deprived of Defense by Thierry Meyssan
The possible withdrawal of the United States from its preeminent position in NATO, even if it does not withdraw from the Atlantic Alliance, sends the political West back to its own devices. How can peace be ensured on the continent?…
..The current situation is radically different. President Donald Trump must cut spending immediately: his country has accumulated a staggering debt and would be bankrupt if its creditors demanded repayment. I explained two weeks ago that “Donald Trump is trying to manage the possible economic collapse of Joe Biden’s ’American empire’ the way Yuri Andropov, Konstantin Chernenko, and Mikhail Gorbachev tried to manage that of Leonid Brezhnev’s ’Soviet empire’. https://www.voltairenet.org/article221970.html March 19, Yanis Varoufakis, Crypto’s role in Trump’s economic masterplan
Explains the Trump Strategy to get Japan to spend it’s $US Treasury reserves to buy Bitcoin, and $US backed “stablecoins” to drive up the bubble valuations, after which the global financial system may transition to cryptocurrency, variously backed by $US at some fractional reserve. US borrowing costs would drop and much financial risk would shift to those who accepted cryptocurrency, should the internet or the financial system fail.
The more dollars go into stablecoins, the lower the yields on US Treasury bills and the stronger the stablecoin issuers’ incentives to invest in riskier assets – even to issue additional tokens without backing them with additional dollar-denominated safe assets. https://www.yanisvaroufakis.eu/2025/03/19/cryptos-role-in-trumps-economic-masterplan-with-special-emphasis-on-stablecoins-unherd/April 3, 2025 at 5:07 pm #185448John Day

Josh Stylman on pervasive global narrative-control: USAID and the Architecture of Perception
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has long portrayed itself as America’s humanitarian aid organization, delivering assistance to developing nations. With an annual budget of nearly $40 billion and operations in over 100 countries, it represents one of the largest foreign aid institutions in the world. But recent disclosures reveal its true nature as something far more systematic: an architect of global consciousness…
..USAID revelations show a staggering reach of narrative control. Take Internews Network, a USAID-financed NGO that has pushed nearly half a billion dollars ($472.6m) through a secretive network, ‘working with’ 4,291 media outlets. In just one year, they produced 4,799 hours of broadcasts reaching up to 778 million people and ‘trained’ over 9,000 journalists. This isn’t just funding – it’s a systematic infrastructure of consciousness manipulation.
The revelations show USAID funding both the Wuhan Lab’s gain-of-function research and the media outlets that would shape the story around what emerged from it...
..No domain is untouched – markets, tech, culture, health, and obviously, media – and you’ll find the same design. Intelligence agencies are deeply embedded in each domain because shaping how we perceive reality is more powerful than controlling reality itself
Just as fiat currency replaced real value with declared value, we now see the same pattern everywhere: fiat science replaces inquiry with predetermined conclusions, fiat culture replaces organic development with curated influence, fiat history replaces lived experience with manufactured narratives. We live in an era of fiat everything – where reality itself is declared, not discovered. https://brownstone.org/articles/usaid-and-the-architecture-of-perception/FBI election tampering by suppression and denial of criminal evidence in public domain: Unearthed FBI Chat Logs Reveal ‘Gag Order’ On Biden Laptop Exposé https://www.zerohedge.com/political/unearthed-fbi-chat-logs-reveal-gag-order-biden-laptop-expose
Gilbert Doctorow discusses Team Trump Time Pressures: Why is Donald Trump in such a rush to conclude a cease-fire in Ukraine?
While it is tempting to place 20 April in the context of the Christian holiday of Easter, which this year is celebrated on the same date by both the Eastern and Western churches, that misses the point. The point is that 20 April marks the end of Trump’s first 100 days in office, the end of the relative ‘honeymoon’ period of any new administration after which he can expect heavy attacks from his opponents on both sides of the aisle in Congress. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/04/02/why-is-donald-trump-in-such-a-rush-to-conclude-a-cease-fire-in-ukraine/April 3, 2025 at 5:08 pm #185449jb-hb
ParticipantThe Jungle is a great example of what Socialists ought to be doing. The worst thing about current year socialism is the obsession with tactics and ruthlessness. I try persistently pinging the network, hitting on all the ports from frontal cortex to brain stem, nobody home but Tactics.
If Socialists were to turn their priorities on their heads – to pledge sticking to socialist means at the expense of any ends, they would advance their cause and meet with success.
Crusading against government waste and corruption alongside ANYONE else willing to help would, you would think, be job#1 for Socialists because The State is going to be their main mechanism, allowing it or making it to be wasteful or corrupt dooms their values.
Or continually crusading for free speech for everyone ESPECIALLY once they have the upper hand would be job #1 for Socialists because if your plan is to concentrate a lot of resources into The State, unless free speech for ALL is maintained, it will quickly become tyranny and Not Real Socialism.
And of course crusading for food safety – or showing people working hard as possible and getting nowhere, falling behind – makes sense. Americans hate bullies, sympathize with underdogs, like hard workers, hate cheaters. You can see in The Jungle or Grapes of Wrath who the underdogs and who the cheaters are – stop the cheating!
It is maddening seeing Socialists with all these specific things to DO in front of them, seeming to notice them, and stating “Ergo, rEvOlUtIoN!!!” and walking right past
Someday hopefully the Socialists realize they should NOT be sacrificing absolutely everything in Machiavellian fashion for a revolution which in turn achieves the selling points of Socialism (surely it should BENEFIT us, otherwise, why fight for it? For it NOT benefiting us but being “right”?), but instead, do all the good things and IF all those good things are achieved, retrospectively, say that that was the revolution if you will.
Socialism needs its own Karl Marx.
CAPITALISM has its Karl Marx, someone working the problem, musing “Hmm, does Capitalism hold the seeds of its own destruction?”
Surely what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Is 150 years too soon for someone to muse “Hmm, does Socialism hold the seeds of its own destruction?” What’s so special that it must go unquestioned, unexamined?
Maybe Socialism should be a monkish, priestly, crusading, jedi-like order that pledges only good means to the exclusion of all concerns of ends. Since ruthlessly working towards ends for the past 150 years seems to lead to “That wasn’t real socialism”

ParticipantGilbert Doctorow, Transcript of Press TV interview on Chinese military exercises
I do not take at face value Beijing’s remarks that these are to frustrate the president of Taiwan for his remarks recently that are condemnatory towards China, and condemning him for independence policies.
Now, these present exercises, I would link directly to the situation in and around Iran. But my point is, the question has been raised among commentators in the United States, in groups that I participate in, how would Russia and China react if the United States and Israel were to make bombing raids on Iran? And it’s generally viewed that Russia will not react directly, because it’s very occupied in this European conflict today.
As regards China, the situation is rather different. China would be much more affected economically by any attacks on Iran, which has a consequence of the cessation of shipments of oil from the Gulf and from Iran in particular, to China, which as I understand, receives 30 percent of its oil imports from Iran at present. China has a way of reacting, and we are watching it right now. Just as the Americans positioning their B-2 bombers on the island of Diego Garcia, seemingly prepared for attacking either the Houthis with massive bombing or Iran to bomb its nuclear facilities. I think that what China’s now doing is a direct signal to Washington that if you should proceed to attack Iran, you will lose Taiwan the next day. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/04/03/transcript-of-press-tv-interview-on-chinese-military-exercises/Hal Turner, RUSSIA WARNS OF “CATASTROPHIC” CONSEQUENCES AFTER TRUMP THREATENS TO BOMB IRAN

Apologies to Winston Churchill for misusing his D-Day speech: “We shall tariff on the beaches, we shall tariff on the landing grounds, we shall tariff in the fields and in the streets, we shall tariff in the hills; we shall never surrender,” would have been snappier, but historically, the above is the correct one for today.
Because it’s T-day, or “Liberation Day”, or Make America Wealthy Again (MAWA) Day. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/t-day Charles Hugh Smith, The Global Trade Game: Jokers Are Wild
Every nation can impose tariffs or limit imports by other means. Tit for tat tariffs, concessions, grand deals, side deals–everyone has access to the same deck of cards. Who wins each round of play is an open question, as is who wins the game.
There are several time-tested strategies in the game for Global Domination ™. One is domination gained by exporting far more than you import, building up treasure in the form of vast trade surpluses.
The problem with this strategy is eventually the nations being stripped by your mercantilist strategy wise up and limit your exports. There is only one way to get around this: military force…
..There is another way to play for Global Domination ™, and it’s the exact opposite of mercantilism: run large, sustained trade deficits by importing more than you export, which beneath the surface is a remarkable flow of trade: the importing nation “exports” its currency in size in exchange for goods and services.
Once this currency is “exported” in sufficient quantities, it becomes the dominant currency simply from its ubiquity, its liquidity (i.e. its quantity and ubiquity make it easy to trade everywhere) and its trustworthiness due to its wide ownership across global markets: since the currency is spread across the globe, the issuing nation no longer controls its valuation; that’s now set by the market.
This is Global Domination ™ via financing trade rather than by running trade surpluses by exporting tangible goods. Pick one, as you can’t have both…
..This is Triffin’s Paradox, which I’ve addressed many times over the years: any currency–and the system for creating and distributing the currency–has two masters it cannot possibly serve equally: the domestic economy and the global economy. Any nation that wants to control the valuation of its currency cannot possibly achieve global financial dominance, as the only way to gain and maintain global financial dominance is to surrender control of the currency’s valuation to the market via exporting currency in such vast quantities that the global market sets the value…
…There may be no winners of the game of Global Domination ™, and that is likely the best outcome. Any form of dominance generates its own undoing. https://charleshughsmith.substack.com/p/the-global-trade-game-jokers-are Futures Tumble As President Trump Delivers “Declaration Of Economic Independence”
Initially markets heard Trump’s comments as ‘better than expected’ and futures spiked on the news, but then as he showed the chart of specific tariffs, futures plunged. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/trumps-liberation-day-live-blog-all-you-need-know Gilbert Doctorow, Trump and tariffs
To my surprise, there was more acceptance in the media of Trump’s initiative on tariffs making sense than one might have expected.
First, so far no one has attacked the effective tariff rates that Trump’s economic advisers assigned to China, the EU, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, etc. That is of critical importance. Accordingly, we see that the injustice of the prevailing trade practices that have been accepted by a long succession of U.S. presidents is real.
Trump says it is time to end the robbery of the States by friends and foes through unbalanced trade. The question then is why did this go on for so long until a certain Mr. Trump said ‘enough is enough’?
Trump did not raise that question. I will, because it puts everything he is doing on trade in line with what he seems to want when he applies a wrecking ball to U.S. alliances in general as he seems to be doing.
The point is that the United States has been buying subservience from allies by turning a blind eye or even facilitating through multilateral trade agreements the depredations that Trump is now denouncing.
Obviously, the well is now running dry. Obviously, the de-industrialization has gone so far that it threatens the nation’s ability to produce weapons systems at home in the numbers required to remain the world’s number one bully.
The end result is that Trump is calling some of the country’s best allies robbers and is reversing course on globalism and free trade...
..I note in passing, that for those of us who have taken the notion of a ‘special relationship’ between the USA and Britain to have been an empty phrase, it came as a surprise to see that Britain is the only country in the vast list posted by Trump yesterday which has a negative trade balance with the States and that it has only a 10% level of tariffs on American goods.
I conclude with the remark that the tariffs are viewed by Trump not only as a means of cutting the unsustainable negative trade balance but also as a means of raising revenue to the Treasury that may offset the sharp reductions in income taxes on companies and private persons that Trump intends to push through Congress now. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/04/03/trump-and-tariffs/Senate Votes To Block Trump Tariffs On Canada After Four Republicans Cross The Aisle https://www.zerohedge.com/political/senate-votes-slam-trump-tariffs-canada-after-four-republicans-cross-aisle

Participant STUDY – Direct Smartphone Exposure Triggers Rapid Red Blood Cell Aggregation
Ultrasound imaging reveals potential cardiovascular risks from prolonged smartphone contact with the body. https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/study-direct-smartphone-exposure Jessica Rose Ph.D. SARS-2 Spike Protein–Fibrinogen Interaction to block antibody effectiveness
Since fibrinogen can bind this site (Fibrin γC domain and spike-binding epitope γ364–395), then if it does bind, this would effectively block the ability of neutralizing antibodies to bind to spike and remove the virus via this route.
It would also cause clotting problems.
Fibrin[ogen] binds to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein → blood clots form → systemic thrombo-inflammation and neuropathology. So what about the shot spike? Isn’t it more than fair to assume this same pathology since the shot spike was mimicked after the SARS-2 spike? And furthermore, if SARS-2 was indeed made in a lab – as I and many others suspect it was – then how could it ever be possible to believe that the engineers didn’t know and/or anticipate these downsides (binding fibrin) to using the spike protein as the immune system activator? https://jessicar.substack.com/p/sars-2-spike-proteinfibrinogen-interaction Nearly 1 Million American Babies Received the Latest COVID-19 mRNA Booster Shot

ParticipantCan’t believe I’m still coming up with things about Liberals. What a gold mine! Okay: RUSSIA is going to invade all Europe, conquer and occupy them right? That’s why we’re there? (Even though, as said, Europe doesn’t provide anything?) I was following the foolishness that they don’t have the men, the rail, etc to do that. But it’s much simpler:
THEY told ME that Russia is fighting with the dregs of USSR tanks from 1975, scrapping washing machines, and losing every battle. They’re a gas station with nukes, GDP of Holland. Okay, sold! Then a mere 10,000 Brits can stop them, right? You JUST SAID they have no army, and you JUST SAID that army is losing everywhere, is in a stalemate 1000km long, can’t even move a few miles. So what do you need us for? We can go, right?
So explain? You’re EVEN WEAKER THAN THAT? Germany, you’re using tanks from 1965 then? And since Russia is totally losing and lost all of even a sliver of a couple oblasts on the far eastern rim of Ukraine 500km away, how could they get anywhere near you?
Welp, I’ll be over here across this ocean since you’ve got all that so well in hand, thanks. “You got this, buddy!” Rootin’ for ya.

So I can see, the people will eventually move to parties that will do the obvious and fix this. A lot of fixing is just sending them back, all kinds of reasons.

Already people are racking up every loan in a nation (Canada) then absconding with the money. Don’t know how you stop that. What is all this?
Every minute you spend fixing this problem you’re not hanging the people who caused it on lampposts. So indeed, the wealthy troublemakers who did it are getting away and their plan is working perfectly. I can’t say I don’t have a solution – my solution is to not forget about them and put equal pressure on them – but in practice, over history, they always get away with it, always using this method, which always works and is working again. …Then they point and say we public R bad and mean and guilty.

Age of Rage”, it is common for people to become the very thing that they despise in others, jettisoning their most cherished values to strike out at those they hate.
Since the election, Democrats have shown that very self-destructive quality of rage in adopting anti-immigrant, anti-free speech, anti-labor, and even anti-environmental positions to get at Donald Trump or his supporters.
It consumes every part of a person.
It is addictive, and it is contagious.
What these rage addicts will not admit, however, is that they like it; they need it.Many Democrats seem to have lost a capacity for shame.
They are disgusted only by the refusal of others to yield to their demands, not the use of any means to achieve political ends.
The question is, what do Democrats like Fahy now stand for when everything they are is now defined by those they hate?Transference and Counter-transference very much?

Phoenix, I would’nt be too quick to give these people a pass on their Covid behaviors. As many writers have since pointed out, the Covid psyop was a mighty sifter of souls, even more so than Russiagate.
When you were shunned by those who were once close, did it not cause emotional pain? Bewilderment? Feelings of betrayal? Isolation? Don’t forget that many others lost their jobs, livelihoods, and were cast from their social groups like lepers. Was this all motivated by love? When you refused to submit to the experimental gene therapy, did your close friends gather round you as in an intervention, and lovingly try to help you see the light? No need to answer that, as nobody I know had that experience.
Why did they allow themselves to be gaslit, deluded, marshalled against their loved ones like Stalin’s “useful idiots”? Turning on their neighbors, ferreting out the unvaxxed, the unwoke, the unbelievers? On the attack, rubbing their hands in glee with each new heretic chastened? We were inches away from witch-burnings, stonings, and concentration camps. This is not morality, but something else.

The funding, at least, is drying up. That’s a thing that really happened.
Think of how the US took on Serbia. Even though Serbia had older AA systems, it was impossible to rush in.
It was necessary to progressively peel back layers of defense in a specific sequence.
What if you prosecute someone WITHOUT the massive hundreds of billions in propaganda funding being cut off?
Remember those wargames that were run for the 2020 elections in which Democrats were happy to wargame how to do US Civil War 2 in case of a Trump victory or Trump refusal to accept cheating?
Phoenixvoice vs Maxwell Quest — evil? How many are intrinsically evil? How many are mesmerized, serving evil BECAUSE of their decency? “You fucked up, you trusted us!” the institutions they respected and trusted all their lives.
Theoretically, Trump (the power bloc behind him) is here to save THOSE victims too? Not feed them into a civil war meatgrinder.
Although maybe there just aren’t as many “organic” duped people as supposed. All that USAID and other funding of astroturf.
Then what you have left is people who follow because they THINK they are following the majority.
So you take away the IMAGE of that false majority first.
Things are happening. Don’t give up hope quite yet. It’s important to disbelieve this stuff, absolutely, but it’s important to believe in it just a little bit too.
