    “Here’s your feel-good story of the day.”

    what was the staff sergeant doing in iraq?

    “This is what makes the United States great.”

    dying for haliburton does not make the united states great.

    it just makes more poor people dead.

    how perverse.

    “European Gas Storage Can’t Survive 3 More Months Of Hormuz

    Then surrender and buy gas. Easy. There is plenty of gas, stop shutting it off. Why you hitting yourself?

    “Nearly 1.2 Billion People Live With Mental Disorders Globally: Study

    If that’s the number, they all live in the West, clearly.

    Following the Duran, mental tics and tricks. Whenever they say “Attack Russia” it’s always “The West” or “NATO”. …Which is ALSO odd, since officially it’s Ukraine alone. But the U.S. isn’t involved except at the lowest level we’ve been unable to extricate ourselves from. So they say it to avoid saying WE, EUROPE is the sole attacker of Russia, which is very, very, very, very, very clearly the case. So it’s “them” so they can’t be responsible. Their minds keep circling this without or refusing to come to the world’s most obvious conclusion. YOU, Alex, are PERSONALLY attacking Russia, now do something about it, like first identifying the correct parties responsible.

    Ritter does the same thing, “NATO ATTACKS!!!” Dude, either A) No, never happened, which is the official story or B) NATO attacked 4 years ago, or in 2014, and it’s not news. WTF. Nothing new happened today. They’re still drone-bombing deep in Russia in a desperate attempt to cause a world war, and this time they hit a girl’s school. And again, since we’re providing as little as possible and have done everything to crush Europe, including SHUTTING OFF THEIR D—N OIL right now, “NATO” very clearly does not mean NATO as it specifically excludes the United States.

    But he doesn’t WANT that, that is not “The Narrative” by which Europe and London win, therefore it doesn’t exist. The U.S. must suck and be uniquely evil at all times, by which they retain narcissistic abusive control and we remain their minions. Weak and subservient. No thanks. The U.S. which I thought was par is very clearly multiple times more powerful than combined Europe right now. (Ex-Russia)

    Stop using crayons and be specific and it all becomes clear.

    “John Helmer: TRUMP’S IRAN DEAL FAILS – Russia’s Oreshnik Delivers Final Blow” — Dima

    Example of derangement here. The deal fails...because they’re still at the negotiating table!! Every negotiation in the history of the universe looks like this: “No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. Maybe. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. Yes.”

    As does every sales job, every invention, every education…it’s the base state of the universe.

    But the laws of time, space, and all reality are no longer engaged because: Orange Man. I mean, it almost wouldn’t count even if they signed it and THEN bombed again. But “Nothing happened.” Just normal reality, common for 5,000 years. People are TALKING. Talking is not “Failing”, but I guess he believes in the TACO theory and we should always bomb, without ceasing, forever and ever, or we lost.

    So Scott Adams says Trump people are hypnotized and in a cult. Well…I’ve heard worse accusations. He says “persuasive”, but how can you be persuasive without words? If it’s some spell I’m clearly not susceptible to it. Ugh.

    “The most unexpected aspect …it must be remembered hinges on ‘normalization’ with Israel.

    I don’t believe Israel is capable of normalization. Or else what? Do they get to invade and break Israel up if they misbehave again?

    And I’m afraid I don’t really understand the minutia and purpose of the Abraham, even back when. I’ve heard it abandons Palestine though.

    “• Report Details Painfully Slow Communication Within Iran’s Leadership (ZH)

    Well, I bet! If we knew where those messages were being bicycled to, we’d probably bomb them!

    “this narrative by anonymous US officials seems an effort to lay blame squarely on the Iranians, instead of Washington’s own often shifting goals and conditions.”

    Spoken like a true Globalist, looking to attack and erase the U.S. Look: you JUST SAID the latency is real. YOU did. Then next sentence it’s actually all Iran is sitting in a coffee shop with wifi and it’s America’s fault no one’s talking. I can only pray for the day Jesus comes back and we can all leave OppositeLand. “The words I said that just came out of my mouth are not my words.”

    Memorial Day: Level of Suck. Almost none of these guys should have died. When was the last military action that was worthwhile.

    “• Five NATO Countries Block Plan For Mandatory Ukraine Funding – Telegraph (RT)

    They only fight if there’s a free army and they can talk tough and send zero men. Then we invade Russia! You first!

    • The US Admin Lost A Patriot and Truth-teller In Tulsi Gabbard (Scott Ritter)

    She could be the DNC Presidential candidate right now. They wouldn’t allow it, refused to go normal in any way. Joe Rogan would be promoting her, social welfare, and Medicare for All. The DNC/Hillary would have none of it. Hillary vowed to start WWIII first day in office, in the footsteps of Obama, and they’ve been doing the same ever since, with Biden immediately starting WWIII in Ukraine. They would have had Elon, RFK, and Ramaswamy ALSO as Democratic talent.

    So there you have it: The Democratic Party that might have been. Now called: “The Republican Party”. Every top person is a Democrat, not a Conservative at all.

    ““Mike Pompeo has no idea what the f— he’s talking about,” White House Communications Director Steven Cheung.

    Any time you want to talk to Pompeo that way, I’m on board. Note all the NeoCons are “Lo! A Miracle Happened” and against war. But then when in Iran, want to do MORE war….but only if it involves stupid, destructive stuff, like moving our million men from Caracas to Kharg, or bombing indiscriminately. Peace Treaties are: RIGHT. OUT.

    I’d say that’s the world’s easiest plan: do whatever NeoCons like Pompeo like least, and you’re on the right path.

    Also news, like the near 50% re-routing of oil out of the Strait? All the Iranian Coast is Arab. Huh? Yeah, Iran is “multi-ethnic” you think it shuts off like a light at the Kuwaiti border? So Iran invaded Oman, still to this day? Fine, then Oman “invades” and declares the Arab coast of Iran (and all the oil fields) “Liberated” from Persia.

    Iran will use their 90M man land-army to stop them. Will they? “Iran is a mountainous country, impossible to attack”. Okay then, the Gulf is the furthest point from Tehran, across all those same mountains, and so very hard to defend for the home team. Just saying. If the U.S. had any thought of making trouble here we’d already have done it because it’s super-easy and shuts of Iran from BOTH the money, the money AND the transit route. We seem to be trying to make them normal instead, and part of the neighborhood.

    “Why haven’t you ever seen a climate change protest before the Chinese embassy anywhere?”

    A: Because they’re already Communist. As JB used to say to AFKTT every week. I hope he’s doing well, he seemed somewhat older, and that New Zealand medical hasn’t killed him yet.

    Luongo was covering this incidentally, that we’re at the bleeding low end of CO2, at a starvation, end-of-life low for CO2 over all time, and nowhere near a temperature high, which was far higher as recently as the Middle Ages. So the plan was to lower CO2 enough to actually cause an end to all (green) life on earth. Nice. Again, each day, it’s like they’re an invading alien force, set to wipe out all life on earth.

    Other notes: “Grok, name all famous scientists who oppose CO2 warming” (List)
    “Grok, name every solar scientist who agrees with CO2 global warming.” List = Zero. Not ONE scientist who follows the sun thinks it isn’t caused by the sun.

    What is not in the text of the Abraham Accords

    No ceasefire requirements

    No military restraint clauses

    No obligations for Israel to halt operations in Gaza or the West Bank or Palestine or Iran

    No obligations for Arab states to halt military actions

    No enforcement mechanisms related to armed conflict

    ————

    Therefore, I am mandatorily requesting that all Countries immediately sign the Abraham Accords, and that, if Iran signs its Agreement with me, as President of the United States of America, it would be an Honor to have them also be part of this unparalleled World Coalition. The Middle East would be United, Powerful, and Economically Strong, like perhaps no other area, anywhere in the World!

    By copy of this TRUTH, I am asking my Representatives to begin, and successfully complete, the process of signing these Countries into the already Historic Abraham Accords. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

    a humorous anecdote about the climate change hysteria

    one recent fall there was a period of higher than average tides on the Gulf coast. There was some discussion of that being proof of global warming along Destin Harbor. When told to check the position of the moon the group engaged in the discussion asked “Why?”

    Joining the military should be regarded as the most dishonorable career path anyone could possibly choose. Whatever’s the most obscene and undignified way to earn money your imagination can come up with, joining the military as a westerner should rank significantly lower than that. It should be as taboo and unappealing as it gets.

    Confusion

    Recall that Zelensky continues to claim that Russia is preparing a new drive on Kiev from the north, either the Belarus or Bryansk direction. And now they are even claiming that Russia is preparing for a new mobilization potentially for this very objective:

    https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/russia-tells-western-diplomats-to

    Zelensky Threatens Lukashenko With Military Response

    “We have the ability to act preemptively against the de facto leadership of Belarus, which must stay on alert — meaning they must truly feel that there will be consequences if aggressive actions are taken against Ukraine and our people,” the Ukrainian president said.

    This clearly implies that it could be Ukraine looking for the false pretense to make an attempt at dragging Belarus and Europe into a wider war in order to save itself.

    while usually on the page with Ms. Johnstone our views diverge on the matter of joining the military.

    While an expeditionay force wtih sole purpose of plunder is an obscenity when one looks in the mirror it should be evident why a defensive force is needed.
    As a path to escape poverty and poor education the military is still a viable avenue for many young people in the United States. A disciplined environment that promotes learing and career advancement is a suitable remedy for some social barriers.

    The faliure of mission the United States armed force displays is a direct result of a populace who will not fulfill their duties as citizens. Citizens who will not police their own workplace breed incompetence in the nation.

    applying to work in the armed forces would gain more respect than applying to work with Mr. Musk from my perspective.

    the military is still a viable avenue for many young people in the United States.
    ••. that’s so horrible. can’t they plant trees instead?

    A disciplined environment that promotes learing
    ••. hard to ignore the typo ;•). so, ¿we should give bayonets to pre-schoolers?

    and career advancement is a suitable remedy for some social barriers.
    ••. all these things can be done without learning to eviscerate babies.

    The faliure of mission the United States armed force displays is a direct result of a populace who will not fulfill their duties as citizens.
    ••. no, it is because we’ve got psychopaths hypnotising good people to become monsters.

    Citizens who will not police their own workplace breed incompetence in the nation.
    ••. bankrupting the nation to further the greed of evil does far worse.

    applying to work in the armed forces would gain more respect than applying to work with Mr. Musk from my perspective.
    ••. mr musk IS the armed forces.

    there is a gulf that separates discipline and obsession

    tboc, I was 4 in 69. I had two options to go the military route, one out of high school and one out of college. Wasn’t because of a developed consciousness of good and evil that I chose different at the time. One required a stint at an all male university and the other a job that afforded me a car and an apartment that was more appealing than OSC. If I knew then what I know now, it would have been a no brainer to avoid such a choice. We are told so many lies, starting at a young age.

    it has taken a glass of wine to get me to comment. So sorry. I love Caitlin Johnstone. And I have told her so. Please look at what she says as carefully as DrD does to what everyone says. She is not saying that one who makes that choice is bad. The choice itself is bad. That implies that having no other choice is bad. If the cost of war had been spent on humanity, there would be other choices.

    Caitlyn Johnstone is 100% correct in that essay.

    The reason so many veterans have PTSD and end up killing themselves is because a lot of them did a lot of evil sh*t and it creates an internal cognitive dissonance that destroys them. Some crazy bastards — like Hegseth — are right at home in the military. They love the violence. They love the idea of officially sanctioned violence. They are intoxicated by the notion of unleashing “maximum lethality” against America’s perceived enemies. But others, people with a sense of morality and conscience — deep down they know they did evil, often unnecessarily, not in furtherance of any lofty American ideals, and often undermining the the long term interests of the US. For them, knowing what they themselves have done, but being unable to candidly, truthfully and critically talk about what the US miliary actually does, hearing the brainwashed utter the vapid words “thank you for your service” is actually a curse.
