    “Senate Votes Down Resolution to Withdraw Troops from Syria: “Another Regional War Without Debate”

    Shows the state of where we are: Nope. Not yet. Not even a super-easy call like this one. Guys: are you in or out? If you’re in, go in. We say this about all wars. But they Waaaaaaaaaant to fight a war and win Syria without putting any men or having it cost anything or change anything, like they Waaaaaaant an Oompa-Loompa.

    And also the other branches can all all impeach each other if they neglect their duty. If Congress refuses to have actual war resolutions, who impeaches Congress?

    “US Mulls Military Action Against Houthis After Officials Angered at Lack of Response

    Aaaaaaand again. Do we have a declaration of war against Yemen now? Such that when they attack ISRAELI ships who are somewhere in our vague general area, we have to invade them? See how the little lies, the little bit over the line, the “hey let’s bend the rulz” turns into a tangled rat’s nest of no order, no strategy, no limits?

    Get BACK to the rules of Law, Loretta. Then we can discuss and respond in an orderly and functional manner. That would be #Logos. Your sole nemesis. Your heartfelt soul enemy.

    “US Is Lone Veto of UN Security Council ‘Humanitarian Ceasefire’ Resolution

    Okay fine. But are we in or out on this? No peace, then what? ALSO no war? Pick one. I’m getting a sense of deja vu I already wrote this about some dumb WH comment in Ukraine.

    Anyhoo…. You can see from Ramaswamy’s debate the Black Hats are on the run and getting kicked in the balls everywhere. Ramy takes up no less than:

    Nikki Haley and the Neocons.
    J6 as an clear FBI setup.
    911 in 12 different ways
    Fake 2020 Election
    White Replacement theory, aka “The Democratic Platform”, as advertised on TV longer than I can remember. 15 years or more now?

    Aaaaaaaand what happens? Is he withdrawing from the race in flames? No? Got into a small plane crash while suddenly getting cancer? No?

    Nope: Nothing. They shut their d—n Stupid-holes and let him talk on national TV.

    So what does this have to do? So what do you think the White Hats are doing, needing to stop a US Civil War that would Capital-flow back to Europe and turn us into an African colony? They need to bring us together, THROUGH the process. PROVING the American system of “Letting guys talk” works. Why? BECAUSE IT’S HARDER. And thus over in our 20 Obama wars like Syria, what are we doing?

    Okay, fine, you want to still print for Syria and Yemen, we’ll raise rates. See what I mean? Interest is about to be a TRILLION dollars. Congress arranged with the Fed to get a blank check. Maybe 1990, maybe 1970, but way back. That Blank Check is rescinded. WHO IS IN CONTROL? WHO IS IN CONTROL OF GOVERNMENT?

    WE ARE. The American People, the American Economy, and therefore the American Bankers. No American system, no American Economy = No American Bankers. So all three of us are pulling on levers reaching to the moon to restrain Congress, the Federal Government, and change their direction. It’s hard, it takes time, but they’ll bloody well come to heel. They’re gonna, right now. Almost there.

    AFTER we can fight amongst ourselves about the banks vs the People, that is, who is servicing whom, but right now we have to survive this window.

    Ramaswamy and Pharmaceuticals: that should be a bleeding minimum. First off: Federal immunity is dead Unconstitutional, just as Hillary’s “no bankruptcy” is unconstitutional. You don’t need a President to reverse it, it was never a legal law to begin with.

    But what have we here, in the landscape now? Stand Waaaaay back, and look:

    3, 5, 10 flawed candidates. RFK, Ramaswamy, Trump. And they’re getting up and saying what they ACTUALLY think. And the media, bought and owned? They are now COVERING it. They took Ramaswamy’s dialogue right up the -ss like a champ. Where’s your Overton Window now? Where’s your 40 years of careful, seamless, glasshouse propaganda that “nobody dun nothin’,” Nothing’s going on, you’re just crazy”? Boop. Gone in 60 seconds. Like it never was.

    Over in Congressland: Congressman, completely removed, in Long Island. Another, From NJ. All the fake “Warren Commission” committees on J6, all exposed as cover-ups. FBI, DoJ, IRS, all exposed as cover ups. Warmongers, outed. Proving ANYONE, but especially Israelis, are so far ahead of the American people, you can’t even see the American Welfare from here.

    Judges are outed as non-nonsensical, and processes slowly swing into place for exposure, ridicule, and removal.

    Hunter Biden is charged (again) so we can watch the DoJ play more games to keep him from Congressional Testimony (again). Yet day by day he is more outed and day by day, charges come closer to drowning him.

    War in Ukraine: lost. Russia is or will be, reunified. The Neo-Cons main initiative since they were born in the 90s, ruined. Their main Flagship, NATO, sunk. Power devolves to the Nation-states. War ITSELF is discredited, through them, and worldwide. With it the plans for World Domination, gone, and without it, their certain collapse and defeat.

    What sort of America did you WANT to see, did you EXPECT to see? Because I assure you it’s very messy and always has been. American Democracy looks like a total f—k up every day, but it can endure because IF we f—k up, we can reverse the laws and change it. We have a PROCESS. The Process either is, or isn’t working.

    Right now the Process is working again. Hesitantly, tentatively. It was before, when the Process WASN’T working that we needed to worry. “Those who make Peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable” –JFK. That we now CAN voice our opinions again, CAN out and expose corruption again, CAN remove leaders again, CAN debate wars and march in the streets – even with bad violent ideas – THAT is the American Process WORKING.

    Do you see what I’m saying here? Now don’t get complacent, there’s lots to do but in contrast to how everything is BROKEN right now, we’re all fighting, I’d argue for the first time since I can remember, something is getting fixed and WORKING again. Try to take some good cheer from that.

    “The White House wants to keep funding Ukraine in its conflict with Russia because it believes that in a year Moscow may be willing to concede to Kiev’s demands,”

    As usual with their projection, just reverse the two names: RUSSIA is out of shells = WE are out of shells. Russia is “Human wave” attacks = Ukraine is human wave attacks.

    So in a year, the US and all NATO = Europe will be ready to unconditionally surrender to Moscow. (up to the Polish border)

    “Even without mentioning the president, the implications of the indictment are devastating for the narrative and denials of Joe Biden.”

    As above. We have gotten this into normal news stream as a “well all know”, unemotional topic. Now we can ACTUALLY discuss, decide what to do, and follow that process to a normal, intelligent solution.

    Hunter’s Spending Spree:

    Yeah, Millions gone and he’s still ugly, worthless, and miserable. Did his money get him anything? The money exists to MAKE YOU HAPPY. If not, why did you bother having it? But you’re almost the most miserable man on earth I’ve ever seen. Why? Like “W” he was born into a mafia family of open rape and abuse (sister’s diary) and has “no choice” but to run numbers for his family, this wing headed by the local Capo, his Dad. If he leaves, he’ll be arrested for the LAST crimes he committed, he’ll have no “protection” racket: he can’t go straight. His father will have him killed like the other children.

    So again, what GOOD did any of that money get you? None. There are modest broke people all over the nation happier than him. That’s a better advertisement against corruption and unclean living than any I could invent. Suppose you’re DoJ middle management, a freshman candidate to State Elections: you think, well I COULD steal $25 Million dollars using my job here. Should I? And looking at Hunter you’ll say “What would I do with the money? Buy cologne? Get a hooker for one night? Maybe a hundred nights? Then What???”

    Then. What.

    I’ll pass. Yo go home to your wife and the life you created that’s real and not hung over by an endless deadly fear of exposure. Send your kids to college. Mow the lawn. Don’t be Hunter.

    “In America and its Western puppet states, there is today no greater crime than to be a truth-teller.”

    Yet we won’t shut up. We talk more than ever. Make. Me.

    When J6 happened, everyone just cowered in fear and fell silent, right? No? Gosh that must suck for you to use your nuclear option and have us all not notice. Just like SWIFT system, $150 Billion and all NATO to the “World’s Greatest Offensive” and about every other thing these limp, worthless morons have done in the last 20 years.

    “Can truth survive when people show scant interest in supporting truth and those who tell it?”

    Well we can’t be better than we are. WE must learn to not be fooled by this thin sauce. WE must have work and diligence. Nothing else will do. Suppose DoJ stops trampling all human rights? (crazy, I know) Then what? Without US stopping them, someone will just capture them and start again tomorrow. WE are the immune system to that disease. WE must see. We are the government, and also the Nation. Us, not “some other guy.”

    “can truth prevail when endless money can shout truth down?”

    Fix the money. However as we’ve long known, it’s financial terrorism. They have financial Mutual Assured Destruction: STOP our money and everybody dies. Everybody, as that’s the entire modern system. There are no self-sufficient farms anymore. No one in the country—not even the bug out beards in their cabins — will survive. Okay, so we just re-capture the system then. How? First expose it.

    How’s that “Endless Money” working for Disney?

    Failing Failures who Fail. Greatest failures in the History of History. We handed you everything, every 1984 system, every Brave New World system of pron and drugs, and you still couldn’t accomplish a simple task of making Americans shut up. Guess who writes those history books now?

    Kultsommer: I don’t understand. Do I look like a go-along to get-along kind of guy to you? If we’re going to criticize “Capitalism” feel free, but nobody’s asked me to do that yet. They just make up a definition of “everything” in their heads, then say “that’s the bad thing.” WHAT is? WHAT is the bad thing, SPECIFICALLY?

    Aw man, don’t you know I had to put up with this in college for years and in our Marxist public schools for a lifetime before that? I’ve heard it all.

    Again, WHAT is the definition of “Capitalism”? I don’t care, we can make up any definition you like, “Capitalism is badgers in a basket”. Anything. But then when we use your definition we’ll know what we’re talking about and discussing and what parts we like and don’t like.

    I’ll start: Socialism killed 100 Million people in the 20th Century. Rebuttal: Yeah? And how many did Capitalism kill, down on the factory floor? See? Easy. Nobody asks. They don’t stick to the argument. It’s “you’re a poopy-pants and wrong.” Okay, WHY am I wrong?

    It’s okay and expected if what you disagree with isn’t “Capitalism” narrowly defined, but “the larger system we have right now.” Me too! Just call it Cay-PITY-ALL-System so we know it’s not the same as Merriam-Webster, Economic Textbook definition of the thing. Then we can figure out what SPECIFICALLY is wrong with “the larger system” and agree on fixing it.

    Just like this, why not bring up what the USSR was good at? Even if it had costs? Westerners do nothing BUT bring up what they’re good at while ignoring every downside and hardship here. As you say, Orlov pointed out that the entire system was functional and remained so. There were no meters in the apartment blocks, so you literally couldn’t shut off anyone’s heat. There were no cars, (so to speak) so you literally couldn’t short and stop the bus system. There was land everywhere, so I guess they COULD stop people from their local garden allotment, but why would you and who would bother? As Kunstler points out, every possible arrangement in Suburbia is arranged the opposite, for maximum tollbooths and minimum production, and every resident is trained from birth to resist, extract, and squeal. Yeah, I know: I live here. You know what else I know? It’s not Capitalism. It’s also not our history. Think New England Norman Rockwell, Western Cowboy ranch, or whatever. This system is alien. To US. It’s a bunch of Alien Ant Farmers, colonizing US. It’s not a natural expression. It’s not the natural, logical conclusion of what we were always doing, what we always believed. How do we get back to the natural expression, Capitalist or otherwise?

    The only thing I see, every day, every where, every person, walking around? We have lots of problems. But we have lots of people jumping in to stop all the problems. THE GOVERNMENT THEN STOPS THEM. A guy is poor, sells some BBQ on the street? BAN! A guy hires some guy off the street to fix his roof? BAN!! A guys tries to fix his car in his driveway so he can inspect and license it? BAN!!! A guy grows some plants and shares/sells them? BAN!! A guy loans money to a pal? BAN!

    What part of Capitalism is “You can only do what the Government tells you”? We will stop all motion, all action, all solution unless it was specifically invented and authorized by us? Even in the sloppiest definition, Capitalism must mean, “People wobbling around like honeybees making their own messy, failed, solutions” INSTEAD of “Centralized government (or other structure) controls all things.” Right?

    The system we have now is the latter. Not just in America, but the whole West.

    My reflections for today.
    The enemy is within

    • The Evil Israel Does is the Evil Israel Gets (Chris Hedges)

    Polyansky added that he doubted the International Criminal Court would do anything, as it will not act “against its Western masters.” The ICC is likely to “forgive” Israel just as it turned a blind eye to Western atrocities in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya, he added.

    • Zelensky Sees the Writing on the Wall – Scott Ritter (Sp.)

    Eventually, Zelensky will face the rage of his soldiers. “They feel betrayed by his incompetence. Especially when it becomes clear how corrupt he is, and how corrupt his government is. Everybody knows it,” Ritter pointed out. “There is a growing resentment over this. There are people who aren’t getting their pensions paid. People who aren’t getting the healthcare they need because of the corruption.” Ritter noted how the US is funding the entire country, paying salaries to civil servants, military personnel and healthcare workers — Washington completely disregards the same needs at home.

    “As an American I take umbrage at this. If you’re going to do that there, first, do it here. Let’s take care of the immigration problem. Let’s take care of the dirty water up in Flint, Michigan. Let’s take care of the homeless problem. Let’s take care of all those junkies on the street of San Francisco and Los Angeles. Let’s take care of America before we start taking care of Ukraine,” he concluded.
    ———–

    Kiev would get the money sooner or later, allowing all parties involved to continue profiting off the conflict.

    ———–
    I want to hear from the journalists who participated in burying these stories, who wrote fake “explainer” pieces on how the Republicans were conspiracy theorists, who lashed out at Trump for attacking Joe over the Hunter scandals. Who decided that getting Joe elected was more important than uncovering the truth. Is that what they taught you in journalism school?
    ———-
    Can truth prevail when endless money can shout truth down? Can truth survive when people show scant interest in supporting truth and those who tell it? If you look objectively with open eyes at the news and at the indoctrination that passes for education, you will see that you live in a world of lies constructed by official narratives. Throughout the Western world police powers are being used to enforce the official narratives–every one of which is a lie.

    The question, “Have you skipped a meal in the last month because you had no money for food,” is a curious one in the way that it is used. It has happened to me rarely — usually because I didn’t plan well, or life didn’t go according to plans when I was out of my home, I had brought no food with me, and a store where I could use food stamps was not available. I made a very specific choice — ignore my hunger in the present, for a very short while, because the cost of food is more than I wish to spend, and I can eat later at home. There has always been plenty of food at home. (I was raised Mormon, and the indoctrination to keep food on hand stuck.)

    Is the question being asked more about poverty or about a person’s value system? Or how well someone plans? (Both of which are also influenced by present poverty, background, personality, and life experiences.)

    CH – pop. 8 million.

    *Recruits lack breath* (have breathing problems.)

    Link is to begin summary in F of MSM article behind paywall.

    https://tinyurl.com/49jp6npa

    1 recruit / 5, aged around 20, presented breathing difficulties ..

    About 95% young men in CH are conscripted. (That doesn’t mean that they serve, they may be excused, refused, do social service instead, opt out using various dodges, etc.)

    Each year tens of thousands of conscripts are tested for ‘aptitudes’ (skills) ‘education’ and various physical performance indicators. A thorough, simple, easy to log, measure of the physical fitness of young men who are not in some ‘special’ category.

    The general performance tests of the CH army recruits show a loss of strength and endurance of 6 to 7 % (statistically significant) in various physical tasks, since 2021. E.g running with a heavy load, high jump without running up, push-ups, leg-ups, walking at a fair speed uphill for some time, etc. An average, so it obscures all kinds of interesting findings.

    Agility is stable. E.g. smooth, constrained in space, movement; balance skills; manipulating machinery, etc.

    This is the first time a drop in performance is noted. It went up (even if only by point 1 or 2..) each year since the measures began.

    This is anecdotal for now > haven’t grabbed the original data.

    Attributed cause. > COV / long COV.

    Deaths. There were no excess deaths (all cause mortality) in under-64s during the whole COV ‘pandemic’ in CH, and none since then. In CH, for this age group, even a red dot (on the graph posted below, third in the text) is tricky, because the numbers are so small. One bus filled with teens falling off a mountain, or a ‘bad’ avalanche on a village of 500 ppl, can be ‘excess’ (one sigma +)

    All the excess mortality one sees logged for ex. on Our World in Data for CH is in over 64’s. Sure, for all cause mortality, the cause may have shifted, for ex. from suicide (1st cause of death males 15-24) to ‘heart’ – idk about that.

    https://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/en/home/statistics/health/state-health/mortality-causes-death.html

    What about Vax? Official stats show that the age 20-29 population was 73% vaxxed (compare, 80+ = 93%), for under 20s, even lower. But.. CH is trying to look good and VAX stats are based on having had ONE dose.

    https://www.covid19.admin.ch/fr/vaccination/persons/d/demography

    So, around 30% of recruits were, are, vax free.

    Without breakdown vx / no vx / other details, one can’t say much more.

    Cover-up is much the same as in other countries, see the below article. The +++ info is cancer meds from a big insurance co., Helsana.

    @Dr D:

    You say you have a basket of badgers? I have some money. I’d like to buy your basket of badgers, but I’m concerned it is a limited opportunity to purchase badgers. If we contract for a fair price just a little above the objective value of badgers, you can save a little to build infrastructure, the purpose of which is obtaining more badgers. I’m sure I can find some surrounding farms whose owners are also interested in badgers, so maybe we can form some kind of limited cooperative to buy your badgers. We will only need enough badgers to establish a good breeding population in our neck of the woods, so this would have to be a short-term charter…a…’corporation’ of our common needs into a single body.

    I’m only half-kidding.

    A Different Point of view ( not from Israel) of Gaza and War

    Palestinian Resistance Continues Heroic Confrontation with IOF in Gaza for 64th Day
    Israeli media announced death of five more Zionist soldiers in Gaza, which raises the toll to 98 since the start of the aggression.

    Al-Qassam Brigades declared on Friday evening that their fighters had successfully destroyed 21 israeli military vehicles across all fighting axes in Gaza. They also thwarted a rescue attempt for the captured Israeli occupation soldier, “Sa’ar Baruch,” resulting in his death, along with several other Israeli prisoners being injured due to the brutal bombing of Gaza areas.

    Al- Qassam resistance fighters targeted the Israeli occupation forces and their vehicles penetrating concentration and positioning sites with anti-fortified shells and anti-personnel devices. They engaged in close-quarters combat, causing significant casualties among the enemy ranks.

    Footage of resistance clashes with Israeli occupation vehicles penetrating the Gaza City frontiers.

    Additionally, they destroyed tunnel openings and homes belonging to enemy soldiers while bombarding military concentrations with mortar shells and short-range missiles. The resistance intensified their attacks by launching intense missile barrages towards “Tel Aviv” and other strategic targets within the occupying entity.

    Al-Qassam Brigades released footage capturing their fighters engaged in clashes with Israeli occupation vehicles infiltrating Gaza City. They also shared scenes depicting the thwarting of Israeli attempt to reach the captured occupation soldier, “Sa’ar Baruch.” Al-Qassam revealed that the special forces carried out the operation by infiltrating in an ambulance and disguising themselves behind humanitarian organizations.

    The released footage showcases the captured Israeli occupation soldier, as well as the equipment seized by the Al-Qassams from the attacking Israeli occupation force. The images also include a picture of the deceased prisoner.

    In a powerful statement, Al-Qassam distributed a flash card bearing the title, “Tel Aviv is burning… and Al-Quds will be liberated.”

    Meanwhile, the Al-Quds Brigades announced that their fighters are engaged in fierce clashes with the Israeli occupation forces using machine guns and anti-armor shells in the eastern advance axes of Khan Yunis and Deir al-Balah.

    They confirmed that their fighters have successfully targeted nine military vehicles, two troop carriers, and a Type D9 military bulldozer in the northern Gaza Strip, as well as Gaza, Deir al-Balah, and Khan Yunis. The brigades also carried out missile attacks on occupied cities, settlements, and Israeli occupation military sites.

    To further emphasize their successes, the brigades distributed footage capturing the targeting of Israeli occupation vehicles on the front lines of Gaza City.

    The Palestinian resistance’s unwavering determination in the face of the Israeli occupation forces showcases their heroic struggle for freedom and justice. As the days progress, their resistance remains strong, leaving no doubts about their firm resolve to achieve liberation for Palestine.

    Hamas Foils Israeli Attempt to Rescue Israeli Captive in Gaza

    Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas resistance movement announced on Friday it has repelled an Israeli attempt to rescue an Israeli captive in Gaza.

    In a statement shared via the group’s Telegram channel, Al-Qassam said it has inflicted military casualties upon the occupation troops engaged in the rescue operation, adding that the Israeli captive also died.

    “Our fighters discovered a special forces unit mounting a rescue attempt and attacked it, killing and wounding several soldiers,” the statement said without specify the location of the incident.

    The Israeli captive, named Saar Baruch and holding the card number 207775032, was killed during the operation, the statement added.

    Earlier, Israeli media reported that an Israeli helicopter gunship mistakenly fired on a building while occupation troops were inside, killing one of the soldiers.

    Meanwhile on Friday, the Israeli occupation military announced that two of its troops were killed, raising the death toll of soldiers killed in the Gaza ground battles to 91.

    “Messengers of Truth”: Journalists Honor Fallen Colleagues in Gaza, Renew Allegiance to Palestine

    Areej Fatima Al-Husseini
    In an emblematic display of international commitment and alliance, the Islamic Radio and Television Union (IRTVU) orchestrated a conference of solidarity in staunch support of journalists operating in occupied Palestine amid ongoing Israeli aggression.
    Entitled “Messengers of Truth,” the event transpired on the evening of Wednesday, December 6, at the Coral Beach Hotel in the Lebanese capital of Beirut. It was attended by ministerial and parliamentary dignitaries and eminent figures from various political parties. In addition, representatives from both national and International television networks and news agencies joined forces to amplify the message of solidarity, reflecting the collective strength of the journalistic community, and echoing commitment to press freedom.

    The conference included impactful visual media and expressions of solidarity for the Palestinian people enduring two months of brutal Israeli aggression. Tragically, over sixteen thousand civilians, predominantly children, have lost their lives.

    Al-Manar Channel’s Director General: Western media perished in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood Hajj Ibrahim Farhat, Director General of Al-Manar Channel, had a remarkable speech at the conference, assuring that “Operation Al-Aqsa Flood and its civilizational and cultural claims collapsed.”

    A Lebanese Journalist’s Resounding Message

    Mariam Saleh, a seasoned senior correspondent for Press TV, voiced her support for journalists working amid tough circumstances in Gaza, not to mention that she also patrols the Lebanese-Palestinian border, covering current confrontations with a heroic attitude.

    Ali Yahya: Journalists are Protected by International Law

    International relations consultant Ali Yahya elucidated the intricate nuances of international legal frameworks that bolster the cause of press freedom, shedding light on the pivotal role these mechanisms play in safeguarding the rights of journalists operating in challenging environments:

    Yemen’s Minister of Information Participated

    Dhaif Allah Al-Shami, Yemen’s Minister of Information, emphasized “the importance of media unity on the cause of Palestine, as well as military and popular unity,” emphasizing “the importance of the sincere word, the firm position, and clarifying the full vision of what is happening and the crimes in occupied Palestine.”

    Al-Shami emphasized in a video message to the audience that “the targeting of media professionals and journalists, whose number exceeded 70 martyrs of reporters, journalists, and photographers, provides ample evidence that the Israeli enemy is directly targeting these press crews.”

    Bin Jeddou Hails Al-Manar TV’s Persistance

    During his speech, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Al Mayadeen Media Network announced the formation of the “Global Media Network for the Defense of Humanity,” revealing that “the first nucleus of the alliance will meet next month in one of the Latin countries.”

    Ben Jeddou remarked eloquently about the sacrifices made by young journalists, such as Al-Mayadeen correspondent Farah Omar and cameraman Rabih Maamari, who were martyred as a result of Israeli bombardment. He also shed light on the immense efforts made by young journalists in Gaza, as well as the great sacrifices made by Al-Manar TV on this sacred road:

    The “Messengers of Truth” conference resonated with a powerful commitment to press freedom amid the harsh realities faced by journalists and civilians in occupied Palestine. The diverse voices and expressions of solidarity underscore a collective determination for a world where truth prevails despite Israeli tyranny.

    U.S. government uses emergency authority to provide tank shells to Israel

    PUBLISHED SAT, DEC 9 202311:15 AM EST
    The Biden administration has used an emergency authority to allow the sale of about 14,000 tank shells to Israel without congressional review, the Pentagon said on Saturday.

    The State Department on Friday used an Arms Export Control Act emergency declaration for the tank rounds worth $106.5 million for immediate delivery to Israel, the Pentagon said in a statement.

    The shells are part of a bigger sale that was first reported by Reuters

    on Friday that the Biden administration is asking the U.S. Congress to approve. The larger package is worth more than $500 million and comprises of 45,000 shells for Israel’s Merkava tanks, regularly deployed in its offensive in Gaza, which has killed thousands of civilians.

    As the war intensified, how and where exactly the U.S. weapons are used in the conflict has come under more scrutiny, even though U.S. officials say there are no plans to put conditions on military aid to Israel or to consider withholding some of it.

    Rights advocates expressed concern over the sale, saying it doesn’t align with Washington’s effort to press Israel to minimize civilian casualties.

    U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken determined and provided detailed justification to Congress that the tank shells must immediately be provided to Israel in the national security interests of the United States, according to the Pentagon statement.

    The sale will be from U.S. Army inventory and consist of 120mm M830A1 High Explosive Anti-Tank Multi-Purpose with Tracer (MPAT) tank cartridges and related equipment.

    “Israel will use the enhanced capability as a deterrent to regional threats and to strengthen its homeland defense,” the Pentagon said, adding that there will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of the sale

    Shine, Perishing Republic

    While this America settles in the mould of its vulgarity,
    heavily thickening to empire and protest,
    only a bubble in the molten mass
    pops and sighs out, and the mass hardens;

    I sadly smiling remember that the flower fades to make fruit;
    the fruit rots to make earth,
    out of the mother, and through the spring exultances,
    ripeness and decadence, and home to the mother.

    You making haste, haste on decay; not blameworthy;
    life is good, be it stubbornly long or suddenly a mortal splendor;
    meteors are not needed less than mountains;
    shine, perishing republic.

    But for my children, I would have them keep their distance
    from the thickening center; corruption
    never has been compulsory, when the cities lie
    at the monster’s feet there are left the mountains.

    And boys, be in nothing so moderate as in love of man,
    a clever servant, insufferable master.
    There is a trap that catches noblest spirits, that caught—
    they say — God, when he walked the earth.

    Robinson Jeffers, 1925

    First I just want to say – I saw Gozilla Minus One today. It was really good. Not “good” the way the new Top Gun movie was said to be good, but ACTUALLY very good, which was shocking in a modern movie.

    The “abstract hobby-horse, angels dancing on a pin” is the luxury of people with money or people who are retired or people who are geographically removed enough. Or old enough to know they will die before the true consequences are felt.

    If marxists wanted to go buy 40 acres, make their utopia BY THEMSELVES, you know, SHOW us, and then have their belief spread due to imitation of success, I’d have zero problems with them. And forget cavemen, fucking monkeys on an atoll could do it. HAVE done it.

    But they infested my job, interests, entertainments, hobbies, the libraries (I loved libraries all my life), educational institutions, my local, state, and federal level governments, various (practically all) corporate entities. They demand we all have to believe together. And sorry, I am an atheist. On moral grounds. So sorry.

    And the one thing they find revolting, sneer at above all others would be the idea of leaving everyone else alone and proving their concept themselves before bugging the rest of us. Or even just cleaning their rooms.

    It’s great for those who got theirs and are out of the rat race. Have enough money or little enough time to dodge the realities, but I am not in that situation, and I have enough of a brain, a spine, and a heart to not be totally numb to the fate of following generations. When the now-inevitable time comes to sacrifice for them, I fucking well will. (no, not terrorist shit, you stupid fucking stupid 3 letter agencies)

    I apologize for my vehemence, but I cannot deny anymore – the other side of this doesn’t intend any civility, general respect for the lives or opinions of others, common sense. Live and let live. You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you. Once you finally learn that lesson, you cannot unlearn it.

    It’s like grasshoppers vs locusts. Grasshoppers are individually going about their lives, just another part of the world. I’m FINE with people believing in socialism, inventing their weird abstruse stupid socialist marxist academic concepts, being professors, having the good life while doing nothing of value for everyone. While never actually making it work. FINE. But when grasshoppers metamorphose into creepy armored giant destructive locusts and act collectively, I’m sorry, they aren’t here to invite you to a tea party, have a discussion, any of that. They’re not here to listen to you and they don’t give a damn if they are cutting their own throats, they’re here to do what they do relentlessly. Go back to being grasshoppers then, if you don’t like anticommunism. I was a leftist until you grew horny protrusions, gathered in numbers, and stripped what I like bare. While claiming it was YOUR thing not mine. I learned from YOU.

    If any of them could demonstrate the ability to be civil and have a discussion, that would be something. but it’s “stop sucking marx’s dick” or “keep writing your nonsense” re-framings and imagery evocations devoid of content. But then civility is something to sneer at, and discussion would be part of civility.

    When the time comes, you say to the marxists:

    Ash: “Woah, woah. Waitaminute. Waitaminute. You gotta understand, man, I never even SAW these assholes before. Henry! You gotta tell em you don’t know me. We never met! Tell ’em!”

    Henry: “I dinnae think he’ll listen, lad”

    Ash: “Look, I’m telling you, you got the wrong guy”

    Non-transferrable, non-dischargeable group/collective shame/guilt. “To the pit with them!” Those are your terms and what do you expect in response? What if they say “your terms are acceptable”? And do you think merely saying it will make it so? And as “materialists,” do you believe you will somehow live on, have a smidgeon of continuity, when you are wormbait and your Faith “wins” for 1-70 years. And then fails. Just like the USSR’s failure. Communism’s failure. Marx’s failure. Socialism’s failure. (I’ll try spinning/phrasing as possessive, that’s a good trick…)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBlhgAkJBos

    Your faith makes so much of “identity” and so little on actual continuity. How do you have identity without individuality? Identity = ONLY as a self-less part of a blob? Square the circle for us so we can actually see.

    but hey man. I wasn’t against you just leave me alone. Please. I don’t want to be involved.

    Russians are innovating the new rules and technique of modern 21st century combined arms warfare.

    Drone in the air are being complimented by drones’ on the ground.

    In this case old T-55 Soviet tanks taken out of moth balls, packed with modern ultra high explosives and then driven remote controlled into Ukronazi strong holds.

    They have thousands of old T-55s. Much like having ten og thousands of old conventional aerial bombs retrofitted with wings and drone controls to convert them into highly accurate munitions.

    Insane Explosion of Russian T-55 Kamikaze tank that was packed full of explosives then sent to Ukronazi dugout.

    Adaptive techniques for modern warfare.

    Hunter Biden in Not In Trouble:

    I just have to laugh when I see a stupid “somebody” say since a special prosecutor has been appointed to look into Hunter Biden, that he is in serious trouble.
    No, he is not in any trouble at all!
    Congress just awarded Hunter Biden a “free stay out of prison” card!

    Appointing a special prosecutor is a trick congress plays on the American people, over and over!
    The sheep never learn.
    Nobody ever gets convicted of anything when a special prosecutor is appointed!
    That is the whole purpose of appointing a special prosecutor!
    It is an “off ramp” from the legal system.

    Dems or Repubs In Trouble With Their Voters:

    Again I have to laugh at these Dem/Repub public statements.
    Neither side of the Uniparty, gives a fig about their voters.
    They don’t care how the people vote.
    The people only have two choices, Dem or Repub, two sides of the Uniparty.
    That is why the people are allowed to vote.

    The Uniparty is only concerned about pleasing and serving their masters.
    The people’s concerns are not the concerns of their masters.
    The people can complain all they want.
    But speaking truth about your masters, will quickly get you killed.

    Garden Plots:

    If you want to see why socialism doesn’t work, just socialize garden plots.
    Once garden plots are socialized, everybody will be waiting for the other guy to do all the work.
    The other guy will also be waiting for you, to do all the work.
    The garden plot will remain bare and uncultivated.

    That is why socialism doesn’t work.
    There is nothing positive in it for the individual.
    If you are stupid enough to do all the work, then you will be the first to die from the lack of nourishment and physical exhaustion.
    Everybody will notice your fatal mistake and not repeat it.

    Just thinking
    Life is energy.
    Death is the sucking of that energy out of life.
    There is still residual life energy after death.
    Our civilization is built on the use of the concentrated residual life energy in coal, oil and compose.

    Background ref.
    https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-new-physics-theory-of-life/

    Self-replication (or reproduction, in biological terms), the process that drives the evolution of life on Earth, is one such mechanism by which a system might dissipate an increasing amount of energy over time. As England put it, “A great way of dissipating more is to make more copies of yourself.”
