grande 2 and the James Bay damns in Quebec, who&#8217;s electricity is carried through the Ontario grid, to the Midwestern states and then to the New York and Pennsylvania grids. Quebec electricity is routed through Ontario because the line that was supposed to go through New York State from Quebec, was denied by the New York State Administration of  Governor Mario Cuomo. This is why, when that transformer station blew up in Cleveland, Ohio, everything in Southern Ontario, Quebec, New York State, Ohio and beyond went dark. The blackout lasted for many weeks. I was lucky, as I was living in the New England grid which is completely separate from the greater Eastern seaboard grids. We were completely unaffected by the blackout. </p><p>I don't know who advised Doug Ford to threaten the United States with the cutoff of power but this is not something that civilized humanity does. Did no one in the Ford Administration in Ontario advise the premier, that threatening the United States with the cutoff of needed electricity from Canada to the United States would constitute a crime against humanity? Did Ford even pass this by the premier of Quebec? Did Ford put it past the Prime Minister of Canada, before he opened his big, fat, stupid mouth? I don't think so. I think the premier of Quebec is probably already on the phone, screaming and yelling in Ford's ear and I'm sure the federal government is going &#8220;You fucking idiot!&#8221;</p><p>It is my opinion that Doug Ford is being put up to this by the people who interfered in Ontario's elections through electronic Jim Crow vote counting machines, which I exposed to the NDP in 2018, when I showed up on election day for the vote count. I found an election worker who had one of the vote counting machines break down on him at the polling station where he was hired to manage the vote count. One of the machines had stopped working, so the workers decide to recount the ballots inside the ballot box and discovered that the vote count in the balot box didn't match the machine count. I brought this up to the Ontario NDP but they did nothing about it and just allowed the CIA to manufacture exactly the same election three times in a row. That, never happens and has never happened, in any elections in the past 100 years, except in the last 30 years as these electronic Jim Crow voting machines and vote counting were slowly introduced. The circumstances are always different every election and even the first Black president of the United States of America suffered a whopping collapse of support for his second term and ushered in a much lower participation, from the high 64% participation that elected Obama, down to 57% for the second term. Ever since these electronic vote counting and voting machines have showed up, political monopolies are forming that are completely unnatural to the demographics of the states and provinces here in North America. Are we supposed to believe that after Ontario elected the first lesbian premier, that somehow Ontario flipped out and went all anti LGBTQ and elected Doug Ford? Are we supposed believe that  after Texas elected Anne Richards as Governor, with a whopping majority, Texans flipped out against a woman Governor and elected George W. Bush? I don't think so. The former Mayor of Toronto, John Tori, along with Premier Doug Ford oversaw homeless people freezing to death in the streets of Toronto. I've never seen a more callous group of politicians than Doug Ford, his now deceased brother Rob Ford and John Tori. These people are nothing more than violent street thugs and I can attest to it, they tried to put me six feet under several times as I was campaigning for the progressives in the city. First Olivia Chow and just out of revenge, in Doug Ford's own riding, running a socialist against Doug Ford's nephew. Ford&#8217;s people would come right up to me at my car at night, after I finished a long day of canvassing and attempt to intimidate me off the campaign. In 2014 when I was campaigning for Olivia Chow, I was given the worst concussion I've ever had and I've played hockey most of my life. It was most definitely Ford&#8217;s people, Tori's people, that were trying to run me off the election. </p><p>So needless to say, I'm immediately suspicious of this most ridiculous threat Doug Ford is making against millions of Americans. I believe the Trump Administration are behind Doug Ford's words and that they want an escalation ladder to intimidate all of Canada with. Ford had absolutely no authority to threaten the US with a crime against humanity and most certainly not with Quebec's electricity. What Ford is proposing will blackout the entire Eastern seaboard, outside of the New England grid of the United States and possibly even shut down Chicago. It would most definitely put the Midwest and New York State along with Pennsylvania out. Go back and look at all the statistics from the last blackout. Look at how many people died. Ford is definitely the northern orange man. Ford just can&#8217;t bring himself to wear makeup like Trump. </p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cuba Is The World’s First Solar Nation.]]></title><description><![CDATA[Sitting in Sunny Havana at a sidewalk Cafe, Fidel Castro's ghost is laughing at Trump.

China, is a communist nation and the most American economically blockaded nation, Cuba, is a communist nation as well and they are helping each other, like communists are supposed to, as they have in the past. Why did Trump think anything different would happen with his energy blockade? Cuban soldiers died in the defense of the Venezuelan government during America's childish kidnapping of Nicholas Maduro, the duly elected President of Venezuela. As with the Vietnamese, communists adapt and dug underground tunnels all the way under Saigon because the Americans made the surface of Vietnam uninhabitable where the Vietnamese were effectively fighting The Americans. Cuba is adapting very well against Trump's energy blockade and China is helping. From solar powered carts that collect the garbage to solar powered tricycle taxis, delivery vans and personal conveyance, quickly replacing the 1950s American cars that Cubans keep running by making their own parts, another communist adaptation to the US blockade of trade with Cuba. The speed by which the Cuban people are setting up and electrifying their country with solar is happening so fast that by the time Trump is impeached and thrown in jail, along with the rest of his cabinet of criminals, for breaking so many laws, people have lost count, Cuba will be the world's first solar powered nation and the Cuban motorheads will electrify their 1950s American classic cars, tricking them out way beyond anything they could have hoped for under the US blockade.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

plays out in Cuba's very unique survivalist car culture. Instead of placing massive sun blocking covering above tobacco fields grown for Cuban cigars, Cuba will place solar panels above and spaced out to provide the shade that tobacco plants need after they've taken in their limit of sun. This is how China is greening the desert on the Mongolian plateau and in western China. They are even combining the grazing of animals while providing shade to them under elevated solar panel arrays. And the wonderful thing about it all, is that China will trade with you at the same level as a communist nation without your nation having to be a communist country.</p><p>Trump would be a laughable joke if he weren't killing so many people, in America's last gasp of metastasizing the completely psychotic and crazy principles of manifest destiny and the Monroe Doctrine first dreamt up in the 1820s by America's most psychotic and violent thieves. What the Monroe doctrine and manifest destiny actually represent is the fact that America was completely stolen from an entirely different people and culture than those of the European and that America's entire trajectory in the world and economic success has been based in the theft of other nation&#8217;s resources. Just like Trump stole Nicholas Maduro, producing an act of theft completely aligned with manifest destiny and the Monroe Doctrine. The US stealing Venezuelan oil and cutting Cuba off from fossil fuel based energy supplies, has not produced the same results as stealing America in the most shameful genocide on the planet which can only be compared to the Spanish and Portuguese genocide against South and Central America. What makes the American genocide and theft of Turtle Island worse than the Spanish and Portuguese genocide in South and Central America, is the fact that the Spanish and Portuguese were already weakened by the 1500s, pushing the Muslims and Jews out of their land and then bankrupted themselves further, attempting to take Britain with the Spanish Armada, was the fact that the British were taught how to vaccinate for smallpox in the 1500s by the Sheik of Morocco which the British immediately turned into a bio weapon. In just one attack, where all the whites were vaccinated, the Pequots lost 500,000 people and for the last 400 years, the British and Americans have been claiming that the members of First Nations tribes of Turtle Island were too weak to withstand European diseases. A complete contradiction to what we know about immunological science and body. A statement that contradicts even the immunological science known by the Arabs and the British at that time. The British, then the Americans and the Canadians, all deployed smallpox as a bio weapon against First Nations. President Grant signed an executive order deploying smallpox against the Western First Nations tribes, clearing the prairie for the construction of the trans-pacific and transatlantic railroads.</p><p>This constant American craving for more territory to steal, more resources to steal, other people's land and resources has not gone without resistance and Cuba has been a symbol of resistance against the United States and the Monroe Doctrine including Trump's new Dumb-Roe Doctrine. Cuba has been lighting the way for resistance against American imperialism and is now truly lighting the way to their solar future and soon to be, serious wind generation. Thanks to the help of a fellow communist nation, only interested in the welfare of the whole society instead of just the top 10%, the way America practices foreign policy. </p><p>The United States itself could be doing exactly what China is doing now but the political ideology against the working people of America blinded the American capital elite into attacking the middle class that had formed in America as a result of industrialization. Destroying the unions by passing the Taft-Hartley ACT in 1947 was the American capital elite&#8217;s biggest mistake. By pushing most of America down to working poverty status, the American Capital elites destroyed the very pipeline of genius coming out of the American middle class into universities and the economy, supplying the very innovations that produced solar panels in the first place. By destroying the American middle class, the American capital elites have destroyed their ability to be the ones that will benefit the most, from the invention of solar panels. Because China has middle classed 93% of the Chinese population, China has created the very conditions for radical leaps forward and innovation. You never know where the next genius is going to come from, the rice paddy or the ivory tower. My father, who practically invented the electronic age was a Canadian from a small grain farm in Alberta, Canada. The Trump/Rockefeller mentality has produced a society that can't innovate its way in any direction, as a result of the destruction of the American middle class. Trump's entire cabinet is made up of people who are simply not talented. America doesn't know how to foster talent anymore. After growing up listening to Nat King Cole, Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner and Diana Ross and even many very talented white artists, I cannot accept that the marginally talented Taylor Swift, is the best music America has to offer. </p><p>This is what excessive profits produce in those that have those profits. A sense that they don't have to do anything anymore because they've got enough money to last them, the rest of their lives and their children's lives. This is why constantly reinvesting capital back into the market instead of hoarding it in the form of safe dividend stocks and real estate, is the best economic practice. It ensures that opportunities open up for the younger generations while the older generations are allowed to retire in dignity. All I see out my window is one senior and disabled person after another hauling huge bags of cans and bottles they've collected across the city of Vancouver to the recycling depot across the street from my apartment, just to have some dignity in their own lives, that is no longer being provided by the economy that is being drained by the capital elites. Canada is included in my critique of the US because the US colonized Canada with free trade and has caused rabid privatization right across Canada's once great public service community. The US even stacked the Canadian supreme Court through the Liberal and Conservative Party, just to get a ruling to allow cash health clinics, that the rich could go to, not having to wait in doctor's offices with the lower classes and their germs. The power elite in Turtle Island have isolated themselves to the point where they no longer understand what the public is thinking and are dictating to the public what the public must think in order to be allowed to participate in the economy. </p><p>Even if Trump bombs the solar arrays in Cuba, the Cuban people will rebuild. The Cuban people are revolutionary in their thinking and have innovated in so many areas, especially in the areas of personal health, that they lead the world in the treatment of blindness. And that happened 40 years ago. Imagine what Cuba can do with a completely independent supply of energy that does not require buying fuel every month. In my view Cuba is now the world leader, per capita, in solar electricity production versus fossil fuel energy production. Though the a scale is much smaller than China, by the time China and Cuba are done laying out Cuba's solar array, Cuba will be the first solar energy nation on the planet.

Funny how the cancer rate just keeps exploding. Funny how the predictions of all of us anti-nuke activists, made after Fukushima, are coming true. Funny how everybody got obese from nuclear damage to their thyroid gland. Robert f Kennedy Jr. would have us all believe that it all came  from the Covid-19 vaccine. Well, Congress tried to pillar the vaccine but unfortunately there's no evidence and the anecdotal ailments of the public at the moment just after one is vaccinated, does not necessarily constitute a vaccine injury. So far there's been no great lawsuit victories over vaccine injury caused by the Covid-19 MRNA vaccines. </p><p>Everything that is happening to our collective health collapse, that I just listed above is in line with widespread nuclear pollution containing enormous amounts of plutonium, the most toxic substance known to man. All it takes is one microscopic particle of plutonium and you are on the way to your grave in short shrift. There have been now, two times where enormous amounts of plutonium have been released into the environment. The first one, was 3200 above ground nuclear bomb tests, releasing huge amounts of plutonium worldwide and the second one was Fukushima. Fukushima was using what is called MOX fuel and MOX fuel is the repurposing of nuclear bomb cores loaded full of plutonium from the fake nuclear disarmament agreements, toward what is called civilian nuclear power. I prefer to think of them as ticking nuclear bombs considering how much damage Three Mile Island and Chernobyl caused and how much damage Fukushima is now causing. So we have two events to compare against each other and the health trajectories are identical. It's just this time it's much worse as we have reached a point where nature is having a hard time rebounding back from the widespread contamination. With all the nuclear bombs and nuclear power plant failures we have reached a point where we must take action or suffer enormous losses in population and wildlife.</p><p>It was predicted that well over a billion people would have their lives cut short by Fukushima fallout spreading around the world. This is why it makes complete sense that the nuclear bosses, that uphold the nuclear complex in America, seek to blame something else for the excess deaths. This fits a long time blame deflection pattern in the US government when it comes to nuclear pollution. After the United States and the Soviet Union exploded 11 nuclear bombs just above the ozone layer and after letting off 320 thermonuclear bombs, whose fireballs reached all the way up to the ozone. Punching the holes in the ozone that let in more of the sun's heat than the planet can could bear, causing global warming, the United States government and the government of the Soviet Union quickly negotiated an end to above ground nuclear bomb testing in 1963 and then the US decided to blame cigarettes for the excess deaths caused by the fallout from nuclear bomb testing and on refrigerators and hairspray for the destruction to the ozone, collectivizing the blame instead of where the blame properly lies, the Pentagon, the White House and Congress. Now, the Americans want everyone to believe that fossil fuels are causing the planet to heat up but in reality they simply are trying to cover up that they poisoned us for hundreds years with fossil fuel just because it suits the wealthy elites agenda to stay rich. </p><p>The American people were been completely cut out of the decision-making around the nuclear complex from the very beginning, having nuclear power and nuclear weapons literally, stuffed down their throats by a fascist dictatorship in America and giving the Russians no choice but to match nuke for nuke. Both the American and the Russian nuclear complex are criminal enterprises contributing to the mass murder of millions and of course now billions of human beings and wildlife all around the world I just completed, not long ago, a bird count on Crows in order to find any health maladies that may have been caused by Fukushima fallout here in the Vancouver British Columbia area. As it turned out, five and 30 crows have tumors on their feet in a low toxic pollution environment. Vancouver has an inordinate amount of rain and not long after Chernobyl went off and the first wave of fallout hit the United States, a group of biologists did a study, called the bird study, in which they discovered that where rain fell carrying Chernobyl nuclear pollution in it, all the birds died but where it didn't rain, the birds survived. This is happening again in Vancouver. There are next to no songbirds in the city nowadays. In Canada we are used to hearing deafening bird calls every morning at dawn. That simply doesn't happen anymore.</p><p>The fact that nobody wants to take the blame for causing global warming, by destroying the ozone layer with nuclear bombs, tells you a lot about who's in charge of America and who's in charge of Russia. Granted the Russians would be glad to be rid of their nuclear complex. In the science department, which is far superior to anything America's got today, the Russians are not failures at putting anything technologically, up into space. Unlike Apple TV&#8217;s stupid historical revisionist series, For All Mankind. The Russian Federation President, Vladimir Putin even stated himself, that the Oreshnik missile makes nuclear weapons obsolete. By saying what he said, Russian President Vladimir Putin is saying, he would love to leave the nuclear complex behind. The Russians know exactly what happened with Fukushima, that the cores melted down into the ground making the groundwater and Fukushima completely undrinkable and the fish off the coast completely uneatable and that the plutonium fallout has spread around the world and is now affecting everyone including the wildlife and the soil biome. The Chinese know this and the Americans know this. So why is no one taking responsibility. We could end all of this madness right now, that's going on, by everyone agreeing to put the nuclear genie back in the fucking bottle. Right now, all that the US government does is run away from liabilities it created by making dumb decisions in previous generations. Why the present generation in power in America can't give up the nuclear complex is clearly based in attempting to be the CEO of the planet. Can America finally come to the conclusion that they don't rule the world and that nobody wants them to? This is the only way America will give up its nuclear complex, if they realize that they don't rule the world and adopt a live and let live attitude. Why do we have to wait until America suffers another massive strategic defeat, now coming in the Middle East and in the Ukraine and will those strategic defeats, actually change America's attitude? </p><p>The nuclear genie killed my dad, who was clearly Canada's smartest man. Killed by bureaucrats in Ottawa because they did not want to take responsibility for doing illegal military contracting for the US in the Atomic Energy of Canada Limited laboratories and engineering complexes. My father, George William Hart was the chief engineer for Atomic Energy of Canada and even built India's first nuclear power plant. Myself and my sister, along with my high school physics class we're all contaminated at my father's nuclear research facility where there was a smaller Candu reactor built for my father to experiment on, with all the other scientists and engineers, with him. It became a front page article in the Winnipeg Free press and embarrassed Atomic Energy and my father was dead 3 years later, at the young age of 58.</p><p>The St. Louis baby tooth study in 1962 proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that nuclear fallout was causing leukemia in children downwind from the nuclear test site in Nevada. But as soon as all the brouhaha around signing the Above Ground Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, the media completely ignored any further health effects and began to blame cigarette smoking for all of the lung cancer that nuclear fallout caused. It is estimated that 50% of the nuclear pollution from bomb testing is still in the jet stream and with Fukushima adding more plutonium to the jet stream we can expect excess deaths to keep climbing until we finally recognize that Linus Pauling cured cancer, 45 years ago with mega dose vitamin therapy, in particular mega dose vitamin c. I personally have cured my cancer. The first tumor on my body showed up on my left testicle. I went to Women's and Brigham's hospital in Boston and had a sonogram of it, eliciting a prescription for a biopsy by the attending physician. I didn't bother with the biopsy, after I saw the look on the physician's face when he saw the tumor in the sonogram. I simply just increase the amount of vitamin c I was taking in, into the thousands of milligrams and I'm now up to 30,000 mg a day, of vitamin c, in the form of calcium ascorbate. If you&#8217;ve got cancer, start taking 30,000 mg of vitamin c as calcium ascorbate. You can buy it in powder form which you can mix into anything you drink. The only water filter that will take the radioactive particles that the water departments are not telling you are in your water supply, is to buy a reverse osmosis system. You can also add electrolytes to that water, as all of the minerals are taken out of the water as well. I add a lot of potassium to my drinking water and I don't drink water out of cafes or anywhere else for that matter. </p><p>The level of radiological sickness here in Vancouver is enormous. In a continuous study of the amount of people that are obese on the public transportation system in Vancouver, I came up with the number 80% obese. From the beginning stages of obesity to grotesque obesity. The homeless and addicted community have an enormous amount of inflammation from their shins down to their feet, along with swollen feet and ankles. It is epidemic but nobody's doing anything about it. In reality, in all likelihood this is the effects of an unhealthy body having radioactive particles pile up in their feet, ankles and shins. Vancouver has an enormous amount of homeless and addicted living within its confines, for the simple fact, that most of Canada's trauma cases produced in bad families for being raped by Catholic and Protestant priests at residential schools, end up in Vancouver because it's easy to fall down here and live on the streets year round, due to the mild weather. This has allowed me to see the health effects of Fukushima fallout on the homeless and addicted community. I have studied the effects of the nuclear contamination I experienced over my life as I am now 66 years of age. It is relatively easy for me to draw a conclusion that the homeless and addicted community in Vancouver are suffering the worse health effects from their condition than the otherwise would. </p><p>So, the staged pillaring of Dr. fauci in the US Congress this week, is just another step in General Electric and Westinghouse, avoiding their corporate liability for the Fukushima meltdowns, as the reactor technology all belongs to General Electric and Westinghouse, at the Fukushima nuclear power facility. In the end Trump is just another corporate stooge, helping all the other corporates stooges, along with all the military stooges, avoid their liability. If Dr Fauci were to tell tell the truth, the only way that Covid-19 could have been systematically released upon the world to create pandemic conditions so quickly, it had to have come from hundreds of labs financed by the NIAIH, which Dr Fauci became the director of, all at once. The Russian Federation has captured documents at Labs finance by the Pentagon in the Ukraine, operating under the NIAIH which confirms that covid-19 was being worked on in the Ukraine testing its effects against Russian DNA which they were taking samples of throughout the Ukraine. As it turns out, many journalists have figured out, that the Pentagon enabled Dr Fauci to conduct bioweapons research, that they renamed gain of function research. So that the US could continue on with its bio weapons research but under a civilian umbrella, covering up the military aspect prohibited under the chemical and bioweapons ban treaty. If Fauci didn't plead the fifth, he would have to name names after he took responsibility for taking the money and hiding bio weapons research for the US military, in the NIAIH. And this of course shows that senator Rand Paul is a fraud and always has been. Senator Paul knows exactly who is responsible over at the Pentagon, the White House and in Congress but he won't say a word about what the real conspiracy around Trump releasing a bioweapon on the world and launching a social experiment violating everyone's civil rights, just to cover up the excess deaths caused by the nuclear industry. And just so you know, I have found out from an insider, that the covid-19 vaccine contracts with Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca, that governments all around the world signed, contained language laying out the shutdown of society, creating exactly the same conditions that you saw in the movie Contagion starring Matt Damon. The vaccinate everyone, regardless of whether they developed immunity as a result of having covid-19 like happened with me, was simply to sell more shots than were necessary. Trump and Biden gamed covid-19 for profit while making the general population suffer under undue restrictions, violating everyone's civil rights. Which came first the film Contagion or the plan to cover up the excess deaths caused by Fukushima fallout? I propose to you, that the plan came first and the film was created to sell it and then came the covid-19 plandemic. Everything Biden did, during Covid-19, was Biden following through on Trump's release of the bio weapon, the creation of the vaccine along with the social restrictions literally written into the contract. In 2020 I was contacted by two CDC scientists who told me that the first cases of covid-19 popped up in America in the spring and summer of 2019, that the CDC then blamed on vaping and vaping THC. So why would the Trump administration without any evidence whatsoever to back it up, blame vaping and vaping THC as the cause of these lung infections other than to cover up the buildup to the plandemic. The government of BC used the news from the CDC about the lung infection caused by vaping to radically increase taxes on vape products and regulate the amount nicotine you were allowed to vape. The irony is, is that vaping nicotine is far healthier for the body than smoking cigarettes because the thing that actually causes smoking cigarettes to be a minor contributor to lung cancer is that the tar that builds up in your lungs captures radioactive particles and other pollutants that can then lead to lung cancer and keeps them in your lungs. It is the tar that is the only connection tobacco has to lung cancer. If there was no toxic pollution, cigarettes could not cause lung cancer or be a minor contributing factor. Interestingly, there have been several studies that show that THC kills covid. </p><p>I don't know where the United States is going to go from here in terms of dealing with the liability for releasing the bio weapon covid-19 on the world, to cover up the excess deaths caused by Fukushima fallout but they will attempt to make the official record completely absolve Trump and Biden of any wrongdoing in the release of the bio weapon covid-19. Jeffrey Sachs, who was the chairman of the Lancet Medical journal, covid-19 committee has openly stated, publicly, that he believe that covid-19 was a bio weapon. So the walls are slowly closing in on the American empire and it's lashing out at the world because it is failing. America is no longer the shiny City on the hill that all the Christians thought would be the savior of humanity. No, America is now on the verge of complete and utter economic collapse. Sure, the US could default on its debt and continue to rob the public to maintain military spending after the 1.5 trillion dollar defense bill advances to the Senate, in the US but exactly how far can they get, if they're losing in the Ukraine and losing in the Middle East?</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Iran not only steals Trump's attempt at global oil domination, but then

This time it was Iran that opened attacks on US military assets in the region and the reason is likely the fact that there have been border skirmishes between Iranian forces and US backed militias attempting to corrode the border between Iran and Iraq. In all likelihood the Saudi attack today, on Iraqi militias aligned with Iran is to prevent those militias from taking on the militias in Iraq aligned with the US. So Iran, instead of waiting for the US to attack again, not allowing Trump to control when and how oil prices will go back up and down, Iran is going to do some pumping and dumping of their own. The escalation ladder will now be controlled by Iran and not the United States.</p><p>Trump's war against Iran is the United States, running away from the genocide they organized and committed in Gaza and are now spreading to the West Bank and East Jerusalem as well as Southern Lebanon. During the seemingly endless weeks of the pump and dump of the oil market by Trump, the narrative, coming out of the White House, was slowly changing into blaming Iran for the war. Working language that had been discredited so many times in the past that Iran was funding terrorism against Israel instead of actually funding legitimate defense against Israeli and US terrorism perpetrated against the Palestinians, the Lebanese, the Syrians, the Libyans the Iraqis, etc. and of course now the terrorism the US and the collective West are launching against Iran. The nuclear question generally falls on deaf ears, considering that the Obama administration had successfully negotiated a one-way deal that favored the US far more than it favored Iran but got the trajectory towards a blockade of the Straight of Hormuz, removed. However, he playbooks that Pete Hegseth, over at the Department of War is operating from, has Trump mobilizing ethnic militias against Iran from as many sides as they can muster. The play books Trump is leaning on were written decades ago and leave out any creativity in the present moment, if ending the war was truly the goal. The US will attempt a slow burn of Iran, from here on in as there is no possibility of a strategic military defeat of Iran. Iran knows this and has now taken control of the escalation ladder. </p><p>Every attempt, over the last week or so, by militias aligned with the US in Iraq, to make incursions into Iran, have all failed. The reporting from Iran itself has openly spoken of these incursions and are showing the Iranian public the facts on the ground. Something Trump is not doing in the least bit, on the American side and in fact, Trump has been hiding the casualties of US service members and damage to US assets, at every military base in the Arab oil principalities and Syria. There has now, been an attack in Egypt by a drone, on a US liquefied gas ship which spread to another ship, causing massive damage to the ships and the port. I have gone over satellite imagery of US military bases that have been struck by Iran and aligned militias and just doing a small amount of math on the destruction of US military assets, the US is looking at hundreds of billions of dollars worth of damage, already done. With the reality of the damage to US assets and the casualties to US military personnel piling up, the Trump administration has finally decided to admit there were 600 casualties but the number probably is much larger. The US military has a habit of hiding the real casualty numbers, from the Korean War to the Vietnam War to even Carter's raid on Iran. George HW Bush's War had far more casualties than recorded and so too did his son&#8217;s wars.</p><p>Trump does have options. He could go nuclear and level Tehran in order to subjugate the Iranians but I suspect the Iranians, underneath the mountains will keep fighting knowing that they are in a nuclear proof bunker with his and her bathrooms and a missile and drone factory. If anyone thinks Iran hasn&#8217;t game theoried this out, you are blind to the intelligence of those you do not recognize as your equals.</p><p>By going on the offensive and taking control of the escalation ladder, the Iranians will tell the world that Trump has called and is begging for a ceasefire just as he begged for a year and a half for a ceasefire in the Ukraine while trying to kill Russian President Vladimir Putin himself. As the US keeps losing in the Iran/US conflict, Iran's conditions may indeed expand. Right now, Trump's policy looks more like, we can't win so break everything. This is what Rome looked like, in the 5th century, when Rome itself was sacked, twice. People starving in the streets while Rome attempted to maintain what borders it could. There are people, literally starving in the streets of America, today. Iran is sacking America and there's nothing Trump can do about it short of nuclear escalation but if Trump does go to nuclear escalation, the Russians and the Chinese will respond and it all likelihood, so too, will the North Koreans.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Congressional Jews Runaway From Their Complicity In The Genocide In

Biden, in a bid to make sure that Republicans would support his Ukraine funding bill, combined funding of the Ukraine and Israel for the 220 billion dollar ask. As I have written before, I tracked the radical increase in the Israeli bombing of Gaza just prior to October 7th. and found, that one could easily accuse the United States and Israel of provoking Hamas into launching the October 7th attacks earlier than they wanted to, so Hamas could secure hostages to negotiate release of Palestinians in Israeli prisons. Hamas's plan was known, just not when it would occur but upon execution both the United States and Israel participated in false flag attacks on Israeli citizens, using the murder of Israelis to get funding for the Nazis in the Ukraine. The combined bill insured that Congressional Republicans would support the bill but when the fake Congressional Libertarians made a little noise about it, threatened to hold up the passing of the bill, Biden got Trump to step in to ensure the passage of the bill.</p><p>The fact that these Congressional Jews are running away from the genocide in Gaza and the West Bank by pretending that extremists took over, is totally disingenuous. Where were these Jews when Gaza was being flattened and more than half a million Palestinians were being killed and injured by Israel? Only now, that the majority of the world is yelling genocide in the face of all Jews that support Israel and their sponsors, Britain and the US, who created Israel to protect the Arab American Oil Company, Aramco, are Congressional Jews running away from their crimes. Of course, Congressional Jews are not more guilty than all the other criminals in Congress that voted to fund genocide in Gaza but they do represent the very people who are being supported and who have been directly committing genocide against the Palestinian people since 1948. </p><p>The idea, of the newly minted Jewish Congressional candidate, <span>former New York City Comptroller, Brad Lander, saying he is a liberal Zionist and that, somehow differentiates himself from the publicly grotesque individuals that control the Israeli government today, is absurd. Every one of the Congressional Jews that voted for the funding of the genocide in Gaza, all harbor the same genocidal thoughts against the Palestinian people, when they call Palestinians, terrorists. Liberal Jews in the US Congress nor the liberal Jews in the Israeli Knesset, have done nothing to slow or halt the genocide in Gaza or to halt the ethnic cleansing and illegal settlements in the West Bank and in East Jerusalem. Liberal Jews in Israel and in the United States have only continued to allow the funding of the illegal settlements in the West Bank and now in East Jerusalem and of course, were glad to vote for the Gaza genocide bill. The only reason they're trying to differentiate themselves now from Netanyahu, is because they are now exposed as complicit in the genocide in Gaza and are attempting to save themselves and most importantly, are attempting to save their careers in Congress as incumbent Zionists lose Democratic primaries.</span></p><p>Right now, there are 35 Jews elected to congress, 10 in the Senate and 25 in the house. That represents approximately 6% plus of Congress, when Jews only represent 2.3% of the overall population in the United States but this is the reward for Zionist Jews aiding in the protection of the Arab American Oil Company and of course other US oil holdings in the region. 10 Jews in the Senate however, is clear bribery of the Jewish community to continue to support America's psychotic control of Arab oil. Just by contrast, there are only five African-American senators in the US Senate when African Americans make up 15% of the population of the US and that number is under counted by the US census. Granted there are 63 African-American members of the House but the power and the choke point for all legislation is in the Senate so it makes Zionist sense keep the African-Americans in the House of Representatives but not in the Senate. </p><p>This is the same reason Jews were handed the propaganda machine in Hollywood and New York, reward for slavish servitude. Despite not being able to prove in any archaeological or in any anthropological way, that Jews were enslaved in Egypt or that Moses even existed, even the University of tel Aviv has claimed that the Semitic people sprang from the Canaanites. Something most Arabs seem to all know. Hollywood Jews however gladly made the film starring Charlton Heston, The Ten Commandments. The state of Israel had been violently imposed on the Palestinian people in 1948 and then Hollywood was purged, shortly thereafter, of Jews that would contradict America's and Israel&#8217;s national narrative that the Jews deserve to have Palestine for themselves. The film was made while what we call the humanist Jews or what I call runaway Jews were purged from all forms of film and television during the 1950s. While those Jews in Hollywood and New York that named names, that turned in their fellow Jews and also some gentiles as communists to the US Congressional Committee On Un-American Activities, we're allowed to stay and continue on with their careers, as long as they kept within the narrow margins of propaganda dictated to them by Washington and Wall Street controlled by the WASPs. </p><p><span>Brad Lander, of course, is completely full of shit and the fact that there are Jews running toward leadership positions everywhere right now is a terrible embarrassment to thinking and caring Jews. After the genocide in Gaza committed by Jews, why would any Jew run to the front of the class and claim to be a leader that can be depended on to take care of American&#8217;s needs and aspirations and those of the Palestinian people? I believe Lander is lying about how he really feels about the genocide in Gaza. </span></p><p><span>I believe everyone that voted for Joe biden's Gaza genocide bill should be arrested and put in prison for complicity in genocide whether they be Jewish or Gentile but I must be very critical of the over representation of Jews in public office at this moment. Even Bernie Sanders has to go as he allowed himself to be used as a pide piper to lead the left back into the Democratic party who were leaving in droves in 2015. As I wrote in my article called The Bernie Sander Scam, I pointed out that the only reason Bernie Sanders is running as a Democrat is because just prior to Bernie throwing his hat in the ring, the majority of Americans registered to vote, registered as independents. Bernie Sanders, who always ran as an independent prior could have used those votes to become president but he chose not to. Instead he chose to run as a Democrat to save a corrupt party from falling into complete disillusionment. In the article, I explained how the primary would be systematically stolen from Sanders voters, as it was not stolen from Bernie Sanders himself because he was in on the theft and bent the knee at the convention when the theft was being challenged. Now Democrats and Republicans work together to maintain a political monopoly over the US Treasury. In 2020, in the Democratic primary, in the state of Massachusetts, there was a 6% difference between the machine count and the exit polling, giving Biden the victory but by law, should have sparked a automatic statewide hand recount but didn&#8217;t. And of course the idea that somehow Trump radically increased his paltry showing of drawing only 23% of the voting age public to the polls in 2016, somehow won with the most votes ever in the history of American voting in 2024? The Democrats didn't even have a primary in 2024 because they were afraid of a successful primary challenge against the Rockefeller pick to lead the Democratic party, Holocaust Harris. Through vote theft, the Democrats and Republicans have manufactured a political dictatorship in America and organized Jewish groups helped create it and help them to maintain it.</span></p><p>Since I was a boy in the 1960s I found my sympathies flowing towards the Palestinian people. I didn't have any prejudice against Jews as I had a very interesting situation in my life. I was raped by a Catholic priest when I was a prepubescent boy and so anyone that wasn't a Christian, I tended to gravitate towards. The Jews I hung out with in Winnipeg seemed quite intellectual and could talk a broad subject matter but the moment the Jewish establishment figures, learned that I was totally opposed to the State of Israel and the genocide they were committing in Palestine, I came under attack. I was a promising young actor on the stage and promising playwright as I wrote a play called Mean Floyd, a comedy take off on Dickens&#8217; A Christmas Carol, that got a standing ovation at the end and big laughs all the way through. It was acted by my self and my friends. I wrote and acted in another play not long after that which also got big laughs and a standing ovation. I was 12 when I wrote my first play and I was 14 when I wrote the second one. I made everyone around me laugh but then came the Zionists. I was the most talented singer at Prince Edward School and could sing high soprano like no one had ever heard it. I was an endless font of creativity but the Zionists have denied me career in show business my entire life. </p><p>It was my father who turned me into an Arabist having served British General Montgomery as a radar tech officer, fighting the Nazi General Rommel in North Africa, where my father ran into the Bedu and later on leave to Cairo skipped over to Palestine and met the Palestinians. Even though it was a giant pile of white propaganda, my father raced into town from his second family, without his second family and grabbed his first family to take to the theater to see Lawrence of Arabia in 1964 because he wanted us to see the people he met during his service in World War II. </p><p><span>Because of my outspoken opposition to the state of Israel in the 1970s when I was a teenager, the Zionists and the establishment went so far as to plant a Zionist camp counselor at Wilderness Corps, an elite Wilderness training program by the province of Manitoba for 16 and 17 year olds, who had absolutely no wilderness skills whatsoever and couldn't even paddle a canoe properly but was there to confront me about my position on the State of Israel. Around the campfire one morning on Moose lake, in Manitoba, while making breakfast the Zionist decided to bring up the subject of Palestinian terrorism. To which I responded, I hope the Arabs push the Jews into the Mediterranean. You should have seen the look on the Zionist&#8217;s face when I said that. He clearly wanted to leap across the campfire and kick the shit out of me but one look at me, my arms, my body, my personal strength and the Zionist thought not to. They probably already knew that I was training in martial arts before they made this behavioral modification setup at Wilderness Corps.</span></p><p>Even after Wilderness Corps was over, the same Zionist camp counselor would pop out of nowhere and pick me up hitchhiking. Even my friends were enlisted. A friend of mine got me a job working nights at the Youngmen&#8217;s Jewish Association, hoping that if I hung out with Holocaust survivors with tattoos on their arms, in the early morning when they all showed up at the club, would somehow change my tune. It didn't. They were stalking me and have stalked me my whole life to keep me from having any success in life unless I bend the knee to Zionism. When I went to New York to pursue a career on the stage, Zionists stood in my way, every step of the way. When I went to Los Angeles to get into film, the Zionists were there to prevent me from making connections. When I stopped Hillary Clinton from getting all super delegates in the Democratic primary in 2007 and 2008, Harvey Weinstein and his thugs were sicked on me. Most recently they destroyed my farm on Martha's Vineyard called Martha's Vineyard Organics, as I was on an unstoppable rise of quality and success in my greenhouse products sales, not only to the largest grocer in America but to over 100 restaurants on Cape cod and Martha's Vineyard. The Zionists have stood in my way my whole life and are standing in my way now. I don't know anybody that's more shadowbanned the social media than I am. I was removed by Elon musk from Twitter and reduced a no impact whatsoever on Facebook, for any of my articles. I've been reduced from nearly a million readers to about 100 every time I publish an article.</p><p><span>It is an old habit for Jews to bend their knee to the empire and work as a slavish devil in other people's good works but it has to be pointed out. When the Jews were enslaved by Rome and 70 CE, the Jewish religion was completely erased by Rome and they were not rehabbed back into society until the 4th century when Rome was about to make a Jew that didn't exist named Jesus, to be Rome's new religion, Christianity&#8217;s Messiah. It was then that Rome ruled that only the Jews could trade with the heathens, causing a massive European conversion to Judaism to take advantage of the trade monopoly between the heathens and Christendom. Once the Jews saw new freedom and financial opportunity thanks to Rome, the habit of bending the knee to the empire by most Jews became the cronic. Even after Rome completely rewrote the Jewish Bible and invented the story of Moses, Jews went along with it and joined Rome's new Rabbinical Judaism. The reason Rome rewrote the Jewish Bible was to include the fake story of Moses who supposedly led the Jews to freedom out of slavery into the promised land. Rome did this because they were stealing all the construction technology, especially concrete and were enslaving Egyptians and Africans in huge numbers. Christianity's slavery of Black Africans was completely based in Roman slavery that then became Christianity&#8217;s practice of slavery that only ended finally, in 1863, when the US finally gave up on slavery as a means to produce American farm goods. This is how Jews ended up being partners with the empire in the practice of slavery. So Christian crimes are also Jewish crimes.</span></p><p>Every Jew I have met, has the intellectual capacity to understand what Zionism is doing and the fact that it is wrong in every way possible and of course many Jews acknowledge what has been going on in Palestine is wrong. I know Jews who have been dedicated to the Palestinian cause for as long as I have but it is those people that call themselves Jews today who also call themselves Zionists, that are committing genocide on behalf of the American and Western imperialist empire. Who are producing the worst film and television in history and are destroying the lives of people who are critics of the state of Israel and critics of US imperialism. </p><p>I wrote a screenplay recently called Hecate Straight, which you can read at lloydhart.substack. The screenplay probably my best creation so far but as soon as the screenplay was noticed by Hollywood Zionists, all the callbacks stopped coming. I was getting real action and funding showed up for this screenplay but the Zionists stepped on it. It's not the first project they've stepped on of mine, the first film project I brought Hollywood was a docu drama about the US invasion of Iraq based on the book Banking On Baghdad by Edwin Black, an honest Jewish journalist. </p><p><span>So here we are, at the point where the genocide Israel, the United States and Western Europe are committing in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and in Iran has turned world opinion against the United States, Israel and Western Europe but most importantly against Israel. The Zionists have never been in the position where they have to begin to beg to keep their jobs but that's exactly what they're doing by attempting to differentiate themselves from the regular old genocidal Zionist. Somehow I don't think &#8220;I'm a liberal Zionist!&#8221; is going to work as the evidence shows liberal zionists are just as genocidal as the other zionists, they are just not in your face about it 24/7.</span></p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mamdani's Collective Bargaining Between Landlords & Tenants, Is Cowardice.]]></title><description><![CDATA[Mamdani is a coward.

It will create thousands of equal protection under the law cases. When one building wins a lower rental rate but the building across the street of exactly the same quality does not, that&#8217;s an equal protection under the law case. This has already been mauled over, for the last 150 years and the solution from residential rental and mortgage inflation, was to simply institute rent control. What Mamdani is doing, is surrendering the power of imposing rent control on a criminal class of politicians, landlords and bankers that have stolen America's savings and disposable income that could be holding up a very strong economy in America. Granted, rent control has been regulated at the state level in the past but the city of New York could easily push in its own rent control policy. It would be challenged in court but inevitably would succeed as a result of public popularity and the basic practicality of it. In 1994 I fought against the State of Massachusetts doing away with rent control and of course everything bad that we predicted would happen, did. Seniors had to leave Boston, Cambridge, Alston and so on, so landlords could exploit students coming from all across America and around the world, to go to Harvard, Tufts, Northeastern and Boston University. </p><p>This is the difference between the campus commie and the working class commie. Mandami is a campus commie who has never been confronted with working class terrors. Mamdani sounds like he did well in his debating club at University but for those of us who have put our lives on the line for the union cause, Mandami sounds like every wide-eyed college graduate whose dreams will be slowly knocked down by the ruling elite. And in fact, I believe Mandami was a well-planned fallback position for the wealthy elite in the United States where a new social contract might be born. Allowing the wealthy elite to keep most of their ill-gotten gains but the fact that the wealthy elite are putting campus commies between them and the working people of America shows me that we are going to get watered down crap like Mamdani&#8217;s collective bargaining for tenants, which can only lead to endless lawsuits costing both sides millions in legal fees and settlements.</p><p>The most successful socialist revolutions came from the working class unions and working class soldiers. Campus commies will not get what the working class of America need and want and Mandami is showing it. By setting working class people against landlords in collective bargaining over their rent, steals time the working class don't have in order to manage their rent. The mayor of New York is attempting to push the responsibility of regulating the rental market on to collective bargaining, a scheme that completely abdicates the power of the mayor's office. What Mamdani should have done is give New Yorkers a history lesson of how rent control came about and why. There are no real world reasons why the rent was raised. There have been no real world costs that justify the radical inflation in residential rental properties. So why the inflation? Greed and of course the inability for the wealthy elite to take serious losses and even become working class again. That's what inflation really represents, a group of people who couldn't manage their way out of a wet paper bag piling their losses on the public through inflation. People who are market losers but refuse to admit their losses and then download them on the tenants in the form of higher rents and schemes to profit off those higher rents. There is no justification for the rents that are paid today in the US but putting the public to the task of having to organize a tenants Union, demand collective bargaining from the landlord and to slog through endless nights of negotiating, is theft of labor and Mandami knows it. This is exactly what the Taft-Hartley bill did to organize labor. It raised the cost of organizing and set unions in a path that would lead to unions shrinking, over a period of decades. Which is exactly what happened. America has 10% Union participation in the labor market today. Down from 31% in 1960. So how long will it take for the tenants union to finally fizzle as a result of the exhaustion of tenants unions fighting landlord&#8217;s lawyers?</p><p>Someone needs to explain to this amateur of municipal policy, the newly elected Mayor of New York, that there is history to look back on in terms of the success of rent control and how it balanced access to society for everyone. I had many friends in rent control apartments in New York and in Boston and I lived briefly in a rent control apartment in Cambridge. Landlords will drag the process of negotiating out, by using attorneys to sandbag the process, forcing the whole process into court hearings. Clearly, Mamdani and his gaggle of campus commies have not figured out all the ins and outs of the liability they are creating for the City of New York. Eventually, both landlords and tenants will sue the city of New York for millions that collective bargaining for your rent will cause both sides to suffer. </p><p>Only a wealthy elite could have come up with the policy of collective bargaining for tenants and this is why I believe Mamdani is a put up job by New York's ruling elites, America's ruling elites. Yes, the ruling elites will agree to paying higher taxes but will they allow rent control to come back in and ruin their, fill my wallet with inflationary produced dollars when I lose in the market? I don't think so. If this is what is to be considered democratic socialism then democratic socialism has lost my vote. I trust union based socialist organizations and I will never trust campus commies as they always betray the working class for the social class the campus commies were conditioned to, while climbing the ladder of higher education. If your political revolution is not working class based, led by working class leaders you are likely going to get campus commies who are more often than not in league with the ruling elites in your community. Every time I run into a campus commie, with their tables on commercial drive in Vancouver, I ask them, &#8220;Are you a member of a union?&#8221; and of course they are not. They read a little bit of Marx while at University and they think they understand Marxism. Campus commies think they can run right to the head of the class and lead a working class revolution of workers who are members of unions or wish to organize when they have almost no understanding of how to organize a labor union. I have put my own life on the line in salting actions for my union, the International Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners. Mamdani is someone I can&#8217;t follow because he has no serious Union background.</p><p>Rent control is the only legislation passed in the last thousand years that can actually effectively control rental inflation. If the property only generates a certain amount of income from rental tenants, then that property is only worth so much. If there is no rent control, the sky is the limit to what one can charge and as long as all landlords seek the sky together and in harmony, almost no one can stop it, except rent control. I was waiting for Mamdani to expose himself as the campus commie he is, and he has finally done it by showing his incredible ignorance of municipal, state and federal policy concerning rent control. Property is only worth something if it's generating income and it's value as land and whatever is built on the land that generates the income, is valued this way but the speculators and bankers chose to value land based on how much land would be worth if a high-rise was built on it. Most people see that kind of money and they sell right away, not realizing that they can't buy back in, in the same market, because the price just went up again. To do this there had to be a systematic and criminal enterprise to do away with rent control all across the United States of America. It was planned as a premeditated crime against the working people of America and should be investigated as a Rico Act crime. Politicians, landlords, bankers, builders and investors, all conspired to do away with rent control in order to institute radical rent inflation and radical mortgage inflation. All, to bail out the rich as they lose in markets else where. Bankers had no right to raise the amount that they could take from a two income family, to 50% but they bought off the politicians and the politicians joined in the screwing of the American working class in the rent check. Mamdani is screwing New York workers.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[US Senator Mitch McConnell, miraculously recovers, leaping out of his hospital bed, ready for work, after 15

Negotiations to buy time for the strategic retreat with 60 days of US sanctions on Iran oil relief, just granted by the US, to fill the nearly empty strategic oil supply in the West. If the US was serious,  they would lift sanctions on Iran for good and of course, now we have Trump dragging the automakers deeper into military contracting than they already are. Trump's actions clearly reveal along with Biden's actions, that the US is not serious about negotiating peace, whatsoever. </p><p>I'm not the only person saying this Brian Burletic of The New Atlas and Laith Marouf of the Free Palestine Network have spoke up on this matter very recently. What we are witnessing is Minsk in the Middle East. Tactics that were used on Russia in order to have Russia retreat somewhat on the Ukrainian battlefield. That retreat has only served the Nazis in Kiev and their masters in Washington and is now, a tactic being attempted on the Iranians. Neither the Russians nor the Iranians or most people in the world are fooled by the US's tactics.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

Democrats want to increase production as well and for the exact the same reason the Republicans want to increase military spending and production, for the next round of weakening Russia and Iran. So, there is no relief for the American public, slowly descending into poverty. American baby boomers, are all now, above the retirement age but a majority are working till they are 70 so they can get a little bit better retirement package from the government. Over 50% of Americans, only have social security to cover them in their retirement. Thanks to corporate vultures who ended all of the employment and pension rules in America and then stole the pensions. Homelessness and homeless seniors, are now a chronic part of the American economy and America&#8217;s greatest domestic political failure. I don't know how long the American public will take it on the chin from the sin bin in Washington and Wall Street but we shall see with our own eyes, if and when the American public finally get up off their knees.</p><p>Iran itself, has called out the US and it's US good cop, Israeli bad cop tactic, it's pretending that Israel is out of control when it's in the historical record that Reagan threatened to cut off military aid to Israel, if Israel didn't cooperate in training the Contras in their US backed war against the Sandinista government in Nicaragua. There are of course, a great deal of individuals out there pretending like the Jewish lobby has taken over Washington but it's the other way around. It has been, since the discovery of oil in Iraq by the Anglo Persian oil company in 1910. Followed by a British invasion of Iraq in 1914, to capture that oil. The mass slaughter of Arabs, men women and children to capture the oil in Iraq cost 180,000 British regulars their lives, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi lives, gave birth to British Petroleum. Not soon after, the Americans, after discovering the British were keeping the oil discovery in Iraq secret from them, delayed the ratification of the Versailles treaty till 1922 after Winston Churchill gave the order to gas Arab villages all across Iraq to put down an Arab uprising, after the Arabs discovered they were being cut out of the oil deal as well. The Americans got a share of Iraqi oil but got the rest of the Arabian peninsula to create the phony governments of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf princes, to ensure that the real heartland of Arab intellectualism in Yemen did not play a role in the exploitation of Arab oil. And then created the Arab American Oil Company or Aramco, who is now one of the main sponsors of FIFA advertising on the pitch side sponsor feed, at the World Cup.</p><p></p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[DRC Congo scores beautiful goal to tie with Portugal in first half.]]></title><description><![CDATA[Africa is

Willful ignorance has devolved into the guilty, deliberately running a campaign to totally avoid talking about Palestine and the genocide most of the US Congress is complicit in, from Gaza to the West Bank to Lebanon and Iran. Not to mention Syria and Libya. The contrast from avoiding the fact that the UN has defined publicly, Israel&#8217;s and the complict&#8217;s actions in Gaza as &#8220;Genocide&#8221;, is so wide that anyone on earth can see it but Democrats and Republicans are avoiding the subject like it were the plague. The campaign is even down on the street. I had a Zionist come up to me at my bus stop and chat me up and somehow moved the conversation to Palestine. Considering I am a well known critic of Israel and US Foreign policy, I figured I was being targeted as an antisemite. He gets around to saying he is Jewish and that he didn&#8217;t like it when I used the words &#8220;Genocide in Gaza.&#8221; He said the word &#8220;Genocide&#8221; really hurts. To which I replied &#8220;It should hurt!&#8221;  </p><p>Having walked the halls of the US Congress, succeeding and having the Congress halt the seizure of legal Canadian hemp products at the US/Canadian Border, after the Hollywood actor, Woody Harrelson, invested nearly $2 million in the Kennex farm, in Ontario, Canada and then had his investment go up in smoke when the DEA illegally rewrote federal law. Placing industrial hemp, in their heads, in schedule 1 of the Controlled Substances Act from Schedule 2 and seized two truck loads of sterile hemp seeds headed to bird seed companies in the US across the Canadian border. An illegal act, acting before Congressional approval, punishable by ten years in prison. A law that was ironically put in place after Nixon placed Cannabis in schedule 1 next to heroin without Congressional approval, making all our lives miserable ever since. The Canadian/US Hemp bird seed trade relationship, has been in place since 1937 when the US outlawed industrial Hemp ag in America. Clearly the bird seed companies in the US had good lobbyists, like me. By turning most of the down ticket against in the Democratic Party, against the voter alienating policy, I forced Bill Clinton to sign an executive order, ordering the Attorney General Janet Reno, to order the DEA to halt all seizures of legal hemp products coming in the US. I accomplished this by April 2000 from the lobby group I created in cooperation with the Hemp Industries Association called Votehemp.org. After I moved on to vote integrity issues that popped up in the 2000 presidential election, Votehemp.org went on to defeat the federal government, with legal team I put together for Votehemp, over Clinton&#8217;s attempted 11th. hour ban on hemp food and cosmetics in the last month of the Clinton Administration. Votehemp then pushed the legalization of industrial hemp agriculture into the Farm Bill. Hemp is now grown in America, once again.</p><p>The reason I am writing about hemp in an article about Democrats sweeping the genocide in Gaza under the Congressional carpet, is quite simple. If you want to change things, Congress must be made guilty of genocide, not just at the polls but in the halls of Congress. Congress made to feel guilty in their heads, you must make it impossible for the complicit to avoid the issue. The civil society must bring a landslide defeat of complicit Democrats and Republicans as that&#8217;s the only way to get past the rigged voting and vote counting machines but the only way you can succeed at this is if you bring a sustained campaign of calling out the complicit. It must be primarily, a street campaign to grab in real time, public anger at the Congress cancelling the existence of the genocide in Gaza as they spread it over the entire region. While Republicans will be glad to bury the Palestinians in Gaza under the foundations of the Trump resort in Gaza, the Democrats, who are complicit, are the most vulnerable to being primaried as most of the horror at the genocide in Gaza, was felt by those who voted Democrat past.</p><p>Americans are looking at long term poverty and trade deficits unless the american civil society gets off it&#8217;s collective ass and makes the sacrifices toward a sustained campaign against the complicit. Congress has always been complicit but there has never been an opportunity quite like we are seeing. Public support for Palestine has eclipsed that of Israel in America. So, it should not be that hard to throw off the corporate fascism that is protecting Israel so Israel can can continue to serve the US in managing Arab oil and the Arab/American Oil Company or Aramco. Now publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Iran Says Dance & Trump Dances.]]></title><description><![CDATA[Tulsa Gabbard resigns realizing

Is this all just so that Trump can prevent the Iranian soccer team from entering America? What is this bullshit theater Trump is performing in front of us today? Did Tulsi Gabbard realize that she's too, is complicit in the genocide in Gaza and Iran and is running for the hills or Hawaii? </p><p>Regardless, the Democrats and Republicans are both screwed. The Democrats put out the autopsy of the 2024 election and of course there was no mention of the genocide, the Democrats are complicit in, in Gaza. By ignoring their own complicity in the genocide Gaza the Democrats are also letting the Republicans off the hook and desperately hoping that nobody makes it an issue in the midterm elections. Well, that's not going to happen. The domestic issue is the economy and the foreign policy issue is genocide in Gaza and Iran as it will be discovered that the war in Iran is Trump, Netanyahu and the Democrats running away from the genocide they are all complicit in. Republicans and Democrats and committing genocide in Gaza and Iran. After all it was the Republicans who approved that last stanch of funding for the Ukraine by the Biden administration after Trump intervened on Biden's behalf to push the speaker of the house into rallying the Republicans into supporting the bill. Biden combined Ukraine funding with Israel funding for the explicit purpose of having the Republicans give in to their knee-jerk support for Israel which got around 30 billion out of the $220 billion dollar bill. The fact is, Biden promised Netanyahu all of Gaza and that America would look the other way as Israel pushed the Gazans into the Sinai. Just so Biden could keep funding the Nazis in the Ukraine. Clearly the division of funds from the funding bill for the Ukraine and Israel at the same time was waited heavily of course, to the big money play in the Ukraine and the fact that Trump intervened for Biden to get the bill passed, which proves that Trump and Biden are on the same page when it comes to Gaza and Iran and the Ukraine. Trump doesn't want peace in Ukraine, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria or Iran. As far as Trump and the American oligarchy are concerned wars are good for their pocketbook and as long as the American public go along with it, they deserve the rotten economy they are forced to live in.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

during the war on terror. No, I think Iran will leave it up to whoever to collect the bounty on Trump's head Iran has posted or at least it was posted in social media that Iran had placed a bounty on Trump's head. I haven't bothered to check if it's a true story or not, cuz you know, who cares if Trump gets whacked by the Iranians. America will dance in the streets if Trump is killed at this point. But running the blockade on the strait of Hormuz, Trump is being a giant prick to the entire world cuz he can't sustain the pressure on the world that he thinks he will as it will break America before it breaks Iran, Russia or China. The Americans couldn't break Russia with their Nazis in the Ukraine and the US will not be able to break the Iranians with whatever proxies they come up with in Iran. </p><p>It would be really funny if it wasn't so God damned tragic watching Trump lock himself up in the White House afraid to move about for fear of being blown up by the Iranians. Watching Tulsa Gabbard slink away from the biggest mistake of her life, Trump, just adds to the dark humor that could easily be taken advantage of by comedians everywhere. &#8220;Circumstances pertaining to government.&#8221; Trump says for his reason to stay locked up in the White House afraid to move around for fear of an Iranian volunteer. It's just too absurd, the theater of Trump, that it can't last for very much longer before it does get blown up. And it won't be the Iranians that do it. It will be the American public. Right now the American public would be glad to hand Iran one or two of America's nuclear bombs, just to stop Trump's economic punishment of the American people. Cuz that's what they're doing, they're punishing the American people for wanting universal health Care, a living wage, clean air and clean water, which the ruling class in America has no intention of providing Americans ever. And there is the rub. The Americans will kill Trump, not the Iranians.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't Believe The Pentagon's UFO PR Campaign!]]></title><description><![CDATA[UFO files?

because, on one hand you would like to see the Pentagon come to an end and stop draining America of its wealth for foreign adventures but on the other hand, hey, those Pentagon guys might not be so bad if they're releasing UFO files. Meanwhile it was the Pentagon loyalists that were the actual shooters on the grassy knoll.</p><p>I personally spent decades thinking that aliens most likely have come to Earth and visited but then I began to really transcend the barriers of interstellar travel. Even just outside our solar system, we would not last for very long before high speed particles flying in deep space would simply take us apart. And of course there's the fantasy of a folding space and traveling millions of light years in minutes. It's a fantasy. A science fiction fantasy. </p><p>Trump is not the first administration to use the release of alien files or the fantasy of aliens on Earth. Clinton milked it for all he could with the film Contact as he and his administration corralled Hollywood, for all they could get out of it. It was disgusting watching all of those Hollywood stars fall over each other, to get an audience with Bill Clinton. The man who completely destroyed the social contract with America and allowed George W. Bush to take advantage of the fact.</p><p>You know, when a fighter jet fires its missiles at its target and then turns to avoid return fire but at the same time releases flares to distract heat seeking missiles from hitting the jet? That's what the Pentagon is doing by releasing the UFO files. This kind of politic echoes all the way back to the first Secretary of Defense, James Forrestal, after the department of war was renamed to the the US Department of Defense. To when Air Force general Curtis LeMay set up the Rand corporation inside the Pentagon as a means to promote the Air Force and Defense Department's agenda in Congress. However, the Rand corporation has turned out to be an arm twisting and spying operation that focuses solely on Congress and the White House and was recently caught spying on the US Senators and Members of the House. General Curtis LeMay propagandized James forrestal, who was the first US Secretary of Defense, so bad, Forrestal himself was beginning to see Russian spies around every corner. Lemay had even sent people out to spy on Forrestal allowing Forrestal to discover he was being tailed but not by who. Driving Forrestal to become extraordinarily paranoid to the point where Forrestal committed suicide out of a Bethesda hospital window yelling out loud &#8220;The Russians Are Coming!&#8221; As he lept to his death.</p><p>Today, the Pentagon is trying to get you to accept that you got value for your trillion dollar annual contribution to their budget, because you think you know what Pentagon knows but what the Pentagon is releasing is not physical evidence of aliens reaching Earth but rather material recycled from previous media campaigns that were all designed to give you a sense that there are enlightened minds walking around the Pentagon, giving you the fantasy of the final frontier, to go where man has never gone before. This is what Star Trek was and is. A Pentagon con job. </p><p>It's the old Roman imperial cult trick, get the plebs to believe in a messiah that never arrives. Just like the second coming of Jesus, who never arrives. You can track the oligarchy&#8217;s interest in UFOs right alongside the disillusionment of Christianity in the West, the rise of social consciousness, of worker&#8217;s rights, of socialism, Marxism and atheism. The oligarchy simply realized that God is falling out of favor with the plebs as the oligarchy has allowed too many economic downturns to keep the public turning the other cheek in the face of individual economic failure, that the bosses simply decided to slowly but surely replace God and Jesus with aliens. Aliens who will never arrive. The UFO Messiah never arrives but the oligarchy will be able to string you along with your scrambled brains thinking the aliens will save us from ourselves. Even the guy that everyone in Hollywood thought was radical because he pillared William Randolph Hearst in the film Citizen Kane, Orson Welles participated by convincing the American public that there was an alien invasion happening against Earth on live radio by reading H.G. Well&#8217;s War Of The Worlds, in such a way as to replicate alive radio news update. It was actually, a disgusting prank that somehow gave Orson Wells some form of radical status in Hollywood and on Broadway.</p><p>The amount of alien invasion films in the last 40 years has ramped up radically but that allows the Pentagon to promote military technology and organization as the savior of Earth against alien invasions. That somehow the president of the United States will be enlightened enough to cope with a superior weaponized alien invasion. This loop from enlightened aliens coming to Earth to save us from ourselves around to the most ridiculous amount of alien invasion films, completes the judeo-christian propaganda of the god and the devil at war with each other that the nut bars at the Pentagon like to write into every piece of propaganda they get the Hollywood Zionists to produce. They simply want to keep you in the false loop that God and the devil are at War and you have to choose sides. They don't want you to follow the money, they don't want you to realize that it's just about living in a big house with lots of money and the ability to call up whatever sexual partners you want on the phone and not be called out on any of it. It's just the money. They are just protecting their income streams and cannibalizing, not just the American people anymore. With the closure of the Hormuz straight by the Americans, attempting to convince their vassals to do the same to their people in order to keep fighting, for those income streams and the wars that generate them.</p><p>To someone like me, the Pentagon&#8217;s latest UFO PR program is an act of desperation. Everybody at the Pentagon, the White House and in Congress, are discovering that the blood splatter from the genocide, that they committed and are still committing, in Gaza, is not washing off. That the war against Iran, completely unprovoked by Iran, has dragged America into situation where that, if America does not back off, the world will isolate America. By simply, not buying any more of America's debt. In the last 40 years, of the American oligarchy cannibalizing the American people, pushing them down from the middle class into working poverty, has left the public in no mood for any more sacrifice. When homelessness becomes a permanent condition in America's class structure and becomes a punishment for those who refuse to go along with the oligarchy's madness and the US defense budget or should I say War budget, is being pushed up to $1.6 trillion at the same time, the American oligarchy and their vassals worldwide have a very serious PR problem. One that could lead to high velocity lead poisoning throughout the oligarchy. Americans would be within their constitutional rights to violently overthrow the government of the United States and all of its criminal corporations at this moment. The oligarchy knows this and is making all kinds of Hollywood propaganda produced by slavish Hollywood Zionists, in order to convince you, that if you watch a film about a CIA Commander being outed for corruption you'll see that America is a self-correcting democracy. Or you watch The Citadel, where an American and a Brit conspire to murder the Russian Federation President and get away with it, claiming that Russia has technology that no one should have, while at the exact time in history, president Trump has tried to kill Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin, twice that we know about. You might be convinced that America's war against Russia is good. I had no idea that Ben Tucci was such a giant piece of shit, that he would participate in such dribble and propaganda as Citadel. He used to be funny. At any rate, the West is cannibalizing itself in a ridiculous attempt to maintain primacy over the brown and black people, over cheap labor. </p><p>Maybe, if the oligarchy releases fake UFO files, the public won't lynch them in the streets but I think the Western oligarchy, headed up by America are in for some form of humiliation worldwide in the coming days, months and years but what form it takes is completely up to America. As I have stated before, if America cuts its military and intelligence spending to the bone, the world will help America restructure its debt and economy to eradicate poverty in America once and for all. Only an economy of abundance can produce a democracy that is self-correcting. In this respect China has it absolutely correct, in creating policy that drives abundance to every individual Chinese citizen. I'm seriously considering becoming a Chinese citizen. Canada has become a completely unfriendly place for me. I would rather live in a self-correcting democracy, than listen to one more lie from a Canadian liberal or conservative or NDP leader, uttering the script written for them by the CIA. America spent the last 60 years colonizing Canada into sleazy, one way trade deals negotiated at gunpoint, with the US holding the trigger. Homelessness is now a permanent condition in Canada and is the absolute shame of every politician in Canada. Canada could buy the US 10 times over but yet we have poverty in Canada. I curse the very ground upon which Americans walk. If they do not back off, I pray, for every American to die in poverty. I have nothing but contempt for Americans as they are narcissistic. They look at their government and say to themselves, why should I lift a finger to do anything? Every American can go fuck themselves including my own children. If you fuckers can't fix your own government, fuck you. </p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[They Couldn't Even Get A "USA" Chant Going.]]></title><description><![CDATA[And the Secret

frackers can earn profits off of a really bad idea. In 2008, when I was commuting back and forth to New York from Martha's Vineyard the price of gasoline, at the pump was $4.58, in Connecticut. This was the result of war or rumors of war prior or during the invasion of Iraq where the price of oil went through the roof and many Democrats like Hillary Clinton, who made 60 million dollars on insider bets in the oil market, in the lead up to the invasion of Iraq, bent the knee to Cheney's energy bill which was negotiated behind closed doors, in complete secrecy. The reason for the secrecy was the fact that Cheney was buying/bribing congressmen and women, for exemptions from the Clean Water and Clean Air Acts for fracking so Cheney could frack the shit out of America and the world. Cheney already knew that fracking would pollute the air and water so bad, it would violate many laws and draw the anger of the American public down on the whole bad idea. So Democrats and Republicans simply waited until environmentalist discovered that Cheney was pumping benzene into people's drinking water through fracking, to run any PR offensives. Cheney&#8217;s strategy for fracking America was secrecy. By the time the American public would figure out they were getting sick from their drinking water as a result of allowing the frackers onto their land, Cheney would simply say, it's too late we've already fracked America and no Democrat or Republican would bring any attempt to regulate fracking into Congress as they are all bought into it. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

takes to get out it of the ground but then came the global oil producers war against fracking having Russia and Saudi Arabia form OPEC Plus which drove the price of oil down to nearly $34 a barrel wiping out any possibility of fracking being profitable. Ever since 2014 or so, the US has been trying to get the price of oil back up over the red into the black of profitability</p><p>The road block to getting fracked oil out of the ground is that it costs $60 to $80 US barrel to get out of the ground. Russia makes a profit even if the price of oil is $13 a barrel. On top of that, fracking more often than not pollutes the groundwater with toxic benzene, creating even more widespread cancer but the only downside, to Democrats and Republicans, to the market, is the cost. Does it mean that Dick Cheney attempted to use War to increase the price of oi, so that fracking would be profitable? No, it just means that the oil bosses have figured out systematic profiteering from war, in many ways at the same time, while the greater goals of the war on Iraq was to defend American hegemony worldwide. A symbol that the empire is not shrinking. A symbol that the empire is in fact expanding. </p><p>Every US president, since we can remember, has expanded American debt. America's attempt to reassert total hegemony on the world has racked up over 40 trillion dollars in debt. Trump being the latest of the pump and dump oil company controlled Presidents sitting in the White House, leading the global oil price up over $100, like Cheney produced in 2008 to $145 dollars a barrel. Trump however, will always be known as the president that took America over the line to $40 trillion dollars in debt.</p><p>Cheney played the same pump and dump game in the commodities market that Trump is playing now, with his back and forth, threatening Armageddon and then doing the Taco. All the while however, still following through on all of the national security planning from over 40 years ago, to destroy Iran and take control of the Persian Gulf.</p><p>The war on terror, the US launched on the world has literally and finally run out of money. The world is buying very few US Treasury bonds at above 4% return, for fear of default. America cannot sustain paying anything above 2.28 or 2.5% to maintain their ability to pay the interest on the debt and to pay some of the debt down as was instituted by Democrats and Republicans in the 1990s but thrown in the garbage can in the 2000s, by the Democrats and Republicans. </p><p>I'm not sure where the Americans are going to go from here but I suspect America is going to start losing ships and thousands of seamen, who will die in the Gulf of Oman and the Strait Hormuz. Former Vice President Dick Cheney pretended that he hated Donald Trump but in reality Donald Trump has done everything Dick Cheney has asked of him. The charade is over, Trump is Dick Cheney.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trump Had No Intention Of Taking Iran.]]></title><description><![CDATA[Any serious military planner

air raid campaign of &#8220;Shock and Awe&#8221; or whatever silly handle the Americans put on it. First the White House called the 2003 invasion of Iraq &#8220;Operation Iraqi Liberation&#8221; but then was lampooned as the an acronym was OIL. So they renamed it Operation Iraqi Freedom. I saw no serious military build up and the navy roll out was tepid at best, this time round. Leading me to believe that Trump and his handlers either believed that Iran was just another frat boy, cow tipping affair or that they, Washington and Wall St., are up to something completely different. What could be completely different in the face of the intelligence reports sitting on Rubio&#8217;s, Hegseth&#8217;s and Trump&#8217;s desks? The fact that both Israel&#8217;s and the US&#8217;s attack last June, on Iran had had little affect on the &#8220;The Resistance&#8221; of Hamas, Hezbollah, Yemen, Irag and Iran and that a land invasion is out of the question.</p><p>With the con men of the corporate media like Tucker Carlson selling the idea that Epstein worked for Israel and that the US government has been compromised by the &#8220;Jewish lobby&#8221; and former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green, aping the same myth and now Joe Kent, Trump&#8217;s Director of the National Counterterrorism Center resigning not wanting to &#8220;Fight for Israel!&#8221;, it all seems far too staged to be taken seriously by the academics on the matter. A soldier even gets his hand broken after being assaulted by a US Senator yelling &#8220;I won&#8217;t fight for Israel.&#8221; Charlie Kirk&#8217;s assassination is even being blamed on the Israel lobby because he spoke out against the &#8220;Jewish lobby.&#8221; I personally don&#8217;t believe Charlie Kirk is dead and I believe his death was staged to set up a scenario where the US can throw Israel under the bus in the face of not being able to actually mount an invasion force large enough to take Iran. Every cracker out there is blaming Israel for Kirk&#8217;s death. Alex Jones has always intimated that Israel was behind 9/11 or played a role but I can find no place in history where Jews got the upper hand on the empire. Not on Rome, not on Europe not on Britain and most certainly not over America.</p><p>The problem is, these crackers have resurrected a KKK trope that the government of the United States of America was captured by the Zionist lobby. The KKK has been calling the Zionist or Jewish lobby in the US, ZOG or Zionist Occupational Government since 1948. Claiming that America was taken over by &#8220;The Jews!&#8221; Of course this idea is absurd and quite the opposite, is the reality. </p><p>Just as an example, the Reagan administration ordered Israel to send Mossad officers to train the Contras in Honduras or the US would cut funding to Israel. This blew up in Reagan&#8217;s face as the Mossad agents that were sent, discovered Reagan also had Claus Barbie, the Butcher of Lyon, the former SS officer in charge of the concentration camp for Jews to be transferred to Auchvitz from, was training the Contras as well. The Mossad agents didn&#8217;t tell their Israeli superiors who they found in Honduras, they went straight to France and told the French Government where Barbie was. Reagan then forced the Israelis to bend the knee to the US&#8217;s official narrative as to where Barbie was was discovered and captured. The US narrative had Barbie being captured in Bolivia by the CIA and not at a Contra training camp in Honduras after France screamed bloody murder at the US employing Barbie. But even the French along with the Israelis had to acquiesce to the American narrative as to how the CIA captured Claus Barbie in Bolivia, separating Barbie from the Contras, as far as the Reagan administration possibly could. Here's the kicker though Claus Barbie was not sent to Israel to face trial, he was sent to France. Reagan kicked shit in Israel's face over Barbie, not handing him over to Israel and then punishing Israel for the two Mossad agents ratting him out. It was a huge blow to the Reagan administration as Claus Barbie was in charge and built the CIA rat lines for distributing cocaine to the US and distributing US weapons south, for crushing union and social movements in South and Central America. Barbie played a very big role in supplying and training Contras. This is how we know Israel takes orders from the US and not the other way around.</p><p>The thing that is revealed here, is that Tucker Carlson is KKK. That Marjorie Taylor Green is KKK. That anyone that pretends that Jews control the US government is aping a KKK trope, that might be an easy escape for right wing knuckle draggers but it is a lie.  </p><p>The people in charge over at the Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations may have recognized that the US cannot mount a successful invasion of Iran and were made to realize that Iran could wipe out all of America's bases in the Middle East after that one strike on the US base in Qatar last year at the very end of the 12th day war. Not to mention the fact that both Russia and China have made it very clear that the US is fighting not just Iran but they are fighting Russia and China as well. Calculating the fact that the US has to raise the interest rate on US Treasury bonds and especially the 10-year treasury bond in order to make it relatively attractive for investors to buy but it makes the cost of borrowing that money far too high, while China and Japan are dumping US Treasury bonds at same time. The last five US Treasury bond offerings have been complete disasters and there is no sign of improvement. Someone in America maybe making the calculus, that if America attempts one more significant chess move on the planet, America will implode socially as the American public are being made the main scapegoat for the elites waging war to secure the treasure of oil.</p><p>There are no proxies willing to fight Iran like the US had in the Ukraine and with Trump and company slamming into a brick wall, running the regime change tactic through decapitation and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stating publicly with some very fast talking, that the US had no choice but to go because Israel was going to go, with or without the US, the corporate misogynists have been laying the contingency plan of blaming everything from 9/11 to the genocide in Gaza on just Israel and Netanyahu and only the side of Israel that supports Netanyahu. All the crackers from Tucker Carlson through Fuentes, Kirk, Green and Kent are actually following Trump's lead in painting America as a victim that the world has been taking advantage of. That the Jews have been taking advantage of. Somehow people with very little money compared to the American oligarchy from the Rockefellers on down, took control of America and forced it to create the State of Israel. </p><p>King Herod of Judea was a Roman who converted to Judaism so that he could be appointed the Roman governor of Judea. Benjamin Netanyahu is Polish but somehow becomes the empire's representative in the Middle East for a Greater Israel over top of Arab oil. So it makes complete sense to me that once America ran out of money, that the US would start throwing vassal states under the bus. I predicted 20 years ago, that when the US finally could no longer maintain its military bases abroad, without going completely broke and imploding into domestic social chaos and revolt, that the US would abandon the Israel project. And considering that Europe is on very verge of complete and utter economic collapse as we speak, everyone is looking for the exit door. </p><p>With the Democrats hoping to put their complicity in the genocide in Gaza on just Netanyahu and if they must, Donald Trump, the oligarchy in America is hoping to reset with some kind of face saving presidential candidate who will then have to go out into the world and beg everyone to come back and buy US Treasury bonds. There's simply is no financial path forward, for a ground invasion against Iran and no proxy army to help pay for it in blood and treasure. </p><p>I know a lot of people have been talking about, in a desperate moment, Israel will use its nuclear arsenal but from what I have heard the codes for all of Israel's nuclear weapons are in the hands of the Americans and can only be authorized by the Americans for use. And even if Trump gives authorization for their use, the Russians will know every detail of it, as it's happening and will likely send in the Oreshnik hypersonic missiles to destroy Israel's nuclear stockpile. And of course, Trump could lose his mind and try and launch the missiles himself but in all likelihood he will be immediately shot by someone in the US military, who has just successfully ran a military coup against the government of Donald J. Trump.</p><p>I just don't see how the US can move its feet out of the cement it has placed itself in since world War II. It astounds me how a group of well-educated men could throw away the wealth of a Nation trying to dominate this beautiful Earth. Is it the built up resentment over the generations of having been pushed out of Europe to fend for themselves in the New world while still following the orders of the old world? When I lived amongst the Americans, for 30 years, I found that a lot of Americans actually resent Britain and Europe, so profoundly, to the point of actual hatred. I feel a little of that myself but I have educated myself to the point where I can discern who were the ones that forced this mass migration so the European oligarchy could exploit the resources of the people who were genocided, almost completely out of existence, the people of Turtle Island or what is today called North America but like the Zionist themselves the Americans, the Canadians and the Europeans must all take responsibility for the genocide in Gaza and the genocide and Turtle Island just as the Spanish and the Portuguese must take responsibility for the genocide they committed in South and Central America but most of all we must stop fighting each other as the climate crisis is about to take everything away from us unless we cooperate. No longer can the world afford to be led around by American arrogance. Now America must beg the world for forgiveness so that the world can gain America's cooperation in surviving the climate crisis that will take half of all the life on this planet. We can't stop the next ice age from arriving but we can survive it better than we ever have. I am personally not afraid of an ice age in the era of heavy equipment and dynamite. We simply must cooperate and yes all you crackers, we are going to have to become communists to survive.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Iran Turns The Table On

markets Trump has been portraying himself as being in control of. The Trump administration even went so far as to kidnap Venezuelan president Nicholas Maduro in order to run that point home while committing piracy on the high seas stealing Venezuela's oil. But even with the theft of Venezuelan and Russian oil tankers at sea, along with America's vassals, the Nazis in Kiev&#8217;s drone attacks on Russia's oil tankers and the European vassals seizing Russian oil at sea, Iran has taken control of what Trump was reaching for. </p><p>India must have promised a great deal to Iran especially after Indian prime minister Miranda Modi's trip to Israel and the hugging of an international war criminal, Israeli prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, on the air strip at Ben Gurion airport, which the Iranians, of course, have completely destroyed now.</p><p>I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall during the conversations between the Iranian ambassador in India and the Modi government but as it turns out Trump's manipulation of India, to have Modi go to Israel and claim to be on Israel's side just before the US started to bomb Iran, to demoralize BRICS Nations has just blown up in Trump's face with India gaining passage through the Strait of Hormuz, granted solely by Iran. With this revelation, Trump is in full Taco mode having lifted sanctions on all of Russia's tankers at sea. </p><p>The very thing the Trump administration wanted to reestablish as international law, America's monopoly on the trading of oil internationally in US dollars, has been snatched away from Trump's small hands and I'll be curious as to how India, as a key member of the BRICS, settles transactions through the strait of Hormuz, whether it's rupee or the US dollar. The fact that Iran with the help of China and Russia, so swiftly turned the tables on the US in terms of who controls the global oil supply or rather who can create the most disruption to the world oil supply, shows us exactly what a paper tiger America truly is and that the old man behind the curtain is completely senile. </p><p>Any attempt by the US and the Europeans to militarily open the Strait of Hormuz will end in absolute failure. As much as I would like to see all of America's naval ships at the bottom of the ocean I don't want to see any more loss of life because of the narcissism and imperialism of Donald Trump and America. It is very important at this moment that America sees that it has been placed in checkmate and that that should have been obvious when Russia's Navy was doing drills in the Persian Gulf with Iran and China. </p><p>The Americans don't even want to admit that Iran's hypersonic missiles have leveled Israel's military capability or their own. We have yet to get photographic confirmation, because of the heavy censorship in Israel but it looks like the Demona nuclear site in Israel has been completely destroyed and a great deal of its nuclear scientist and military protection personnel were killed. I posited that the Iranians would only have attacked this site if Israel or the United States attacked Iranian&#8217;s nuclear sites and most importantly caused a nuclear event, releasing radioactive material into the air. From reporting that cites Russian intelligence, Israel has &#8220;lost access&#8221; to the Demona nuclear site. This could only mean that the area is too hot with radioactive particles, in the air in the surrounding areas.</p><p>I trust that Russian intelligence is tracking whether or not Trump or Israel will panic and use a nuclear weapon on Tehran or attempt to destroy the nuclear proof bunkers Iran has built into the mountains. I am certain that the Russians and the Chinese have built-in some form of interception of any attempt to use nuclear weapon by the US and Israel but rest assured the US nor Israel will survive the use of nuclear weapons on a Iran.</p><p>Regardless of the damage Iran has inflicted to both the United States and Israeli military sites, the very thing that has checkmated the Americans, is the closure of the Strait Hormuz by Iran and then Iran setting the terms by which nations may have their vessels pass through the Strait. I doubt that Modi promised to toss the salad of the Ayatollah but it is as embarrassing, for Modi, as if he had, bending the knee to Iran. I can't wait to hear what Modi gave to Iran, that has made Donald Trump into the planets biggest chump, the biggest jump ever, the biggest chump anyone has ever seen.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trump Is A Whiny Little Chicken Hawk.]]></title><description><![CDATA[Whine all you want Trump but you were warned last year with the first

along with US satellite help from the Pentagon. Two drone attacks targeting Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin, once while Vladimir was visiting the troops on the front line and once, targeting the Russian Federation President's own residence, were ordered by Donald Trump and not by the unwieldy, as then Western press portray him, the illegitimate president of the Ukraine, Volodmir, or however the CIA respelled Vladimir, Zelensky.</p><p>Every military move made by the Nazis in Kiev, is made under the orders from Donald Trump, through the military establishment down to the lowly proxies in the Ukraine, who follow their orders to a tee. Until of course they run into regular Russian military forces.</p><p>Trump having his European vassals line up in the UN security council bitching and moaning about the Oreshnik attack, just outside of Lyviv or however the CIA respelled it, is the leadership of the collective West ignoring the first Oreshnik strike on the Ukraine over a year ago. And to top it off, Trump is playing the nuclear card in the security council, claiming the nuclear possibility that comes with Oreshnik, is the real threat. Yes,  Oreshnik could be armed with nuclear warheads but so too can any of cruise missiles already sent and used by the Ukraine against Russia. </p><p>Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin stated loud and clear, that Oreshnik has made nuclear weapons obsolete by simply using the Oreshnik platform, for the delivery of conventional, non-nuclear warheads. Russia can surgically remove every military installation in any Nation on Earth with almost no civilian casualties. This is a huge leap forward and it could only come about because US President Donald Trump, in his infinite wisdom and in his first term decided to leave the Intermediate Range Missile Treaty.</p><p>The Trilateral Commission puppet in the White House has simply been out maneuvered and of course, the Council On Foreign Relations owned, operated and created by the Rockefellers, are pissing diarrhea out their ears, cuz they're so completely full of shit.</p><p>The Oreshnik missile arsenal is getting larger and larger every day and soon Russia will have enough  Oreshniks to take out everyone's military. The Oreshnik has been fitted to submarines and battleships now, so, there is absolutely no hope for the US and the Western powers to catch up. But instead of making peace with Russia, dropping the sanctions and returning to normal diplomatic relations and because of the precarious balancing Western leaders are conducting on the heads of a very angry Western population, who are very upset at the bankrupting of their societies, for war Russia never asked for. The West decided go in a more aggressive terrorism based gorilla warfare direction against Russia, with drone attacks from within and outside Russia. Attempts on the lives of top ranking Russians, in the hopes of decapitating leadership in Moscow and now of course the seizing of and drone attacks on Russian oil tankers. I'm sure, as the British discovered fighting the Spanish and the French, that the US will soon attempt to launch privateers on the high seas crewed by Ukrainian Nazis who are finding the Ukraine less and less hospitable for their likes.</p><p>America has always leaned on criminality when it can't confront a nation like Russia or China directly. There is nothing new in America's game plan that Russia or China can't handle and the whining going on at the UN security Council this last week, over the Oreshnik strike in Western Ukraine? The main purpose of that whining is to saber rattle the nuclear option against Russia. Almost every European leader who spoke through their UN ambassador in the Security Council, all brought up the nuclear issue when there was no nuclear warheads used on the Oreshnik strikes. The missilettes the Russian Oreshnik missile released, clearly hit targets that really upset Trump's plans with his Black Rock, State Street and Vanguard investment house bankers, backing him.</p><p>Somehow Trump and his vassals are attempting to equate an Oreshnik with a non-nuclear warheads, as a nuclear threat, in an attempt to say to Russia, that the West views the Oreshnik as a nuclear threat and therefore can be responded to with nuclear weapons. By taking this tack, as President Roosevelt took during World War II, demanding unconditional surrender of the Axis powers. Forcing Germany to fight on their own soil, basically telling the Germans to fight the Russians to the last man, in hopes of preventing Russia from capturing Berlin. Buying time for the Allies to beat the Soviets to Berlin. Trump is saying through his vassals on the Security Council, that it's unconditional surrender or nuclear war.</p><p>This latest War, the United States foisted on Russia in the Ukraine, in 2014, proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Adolf Hitler and the German Nazis were simply proxies of the States of America and the Western European elites, to destroy Russian communism but most importantly get at Russia's resources. Hitler himself said Russia is the pie that must be divided up. </p><p>By Trump going nuclear in the security Council this week, he's falling back on the only thing that America has that it can threaten the world with but just the threat comes at a completely self-destructive political cost, with the domestic population of America. Trump is learning that you can't shoot an American Dyke in the face, in America while at the same time trying to kill the Russian president. Trump and his little gaggle of real estate brokers, lawyers and developers have no idea how to get out of this situation and therefore must be removed from office before they do something that they

You could immediately tell, Vance completely understood that marketing the administration with this tough cowboy stance isn't working and  you can see and hear, that he was nervous as hell the whole time he was talking.</p><p>Woman shot in face, in what was so obviously, not a threatening moment for any of the Trump's Nazis. The threat was all the in the other direction after the woman was waving cars to go past her. There was no probable cause for the officers to approach the woman in the vehicle from the start. There was plenty of room for vehicles to pass around her which she was waving vehicles to do. Because ice agents are federal, they are to call in local law enforcement for traffic issues. So JD Vance's defense of his little Nazi in Minneapolis is specious. Madame Good did not bring the affair down on herself as JD Vance put it in the presser. The Nazis had no probable cause to approach her.</p><p>There simply was no probable cause for the ice agents to attempt to approach the woman in her vehicle. Without probable cause the officers had no right to approach the vehicle or try to open the woman's door regardless of the words coming out of the woman's mouth or anybody else's mouth in the wings. </p><p>Why didn't the ice agents simply go around the perpendicular, in the traffic, the vehicle the Good woman was driving, like the vehicle that had done, just prior to the incident occurring.</p><p>Why did the ice agents feel it necessary to get out and confront the woman in the vehicle, who was waving the traffic to go around her? She was clearly not violating the law, as going perpendicular to turn around on a small side street, which is done every day in almost every neighborhood, is not a violation of the law? So where is the probable cause in this officer's mind that allowed him and his colleagues to confront the woman in the vehicle? There is no probable cause and the ice agent in the vehicles that pulled up should have gone around her car, as the woman was waving them to do. And if the little Nazi was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder from being dragged in another incident which was also set up by ice agents, themselves, to end badly, reveals a criminal pathology and behavior based in mania, on the part of the ice agents, not the guilt of the Good woman. </p><p>The ice agents are setting up these confrontations to end badly. Is it intimidation of America's streets? It could be but the lawlessness on the part of the Trump administration must now be, completely confronted and aging corrupt Democrats are not the ones to do it.</p><p>The Good woman would still be alive right now and her children would not be bawling their eyes out and JD Vance standing up there, in the White House press room, blaming this poor victim of American fascism, for the incident, is displaying complete and total nervousness at the legal jeopardy that he and Donald Trump are now in. </p><p>My advice to the Trump administration is, prevent your psychotic volunteers, your January 6th. rioters, your deputized Nazis and Klu Klux Klan members from thinking that going all in right now is a good idea. It ain't. The only real numbers we have in front of us, that are clear metrics of what happened in the last couple of election cycles, are the numbers from 2016. Trump and the Republicans only drew 23% of the voting age public to the polls but so too did Hillary Clinton and the Dems, making it very easy for Karl Rove to steal the election for Trump. And we know that Biden repeated the theft of the primary against Bernie Sanders that Hillary Clinton pulled off in 2016, so we can safely say 2016 numbers were the last metrics of any reliability that show that both Democrats and Republicans combined could not pull a majority of Americans to the polling booths. We are now at the end of the charade that the establishment has pulled, the last three election cycles and really since the assassinations of the 1960s. So, yes we can safely say that the numbers are even worse in 2024 and that a brief street fight between the street and the penthouse and palace lot, allied with their moron knuckle draggers and mouth breathers, the kkk and the Nazis, several of the ice agents have been identified as, will be a short lived affair, from which, a socialist majority will come out on top. So, when the governor of Minnesota said yesterday, &#8220;protest peacefully, don't let Trump use the insurrection act.&#8221; I'm saying no, don't protest peacefully, force Trump to use the insurrection act and you the American public will have the constitution on your side as you topple the tyrant as that's what the majority of Americans are also thinking.</p><p>What I'm saying Trump, is if you push this any further you're likely going to end up dead on the White House lawn. The youngins are going to push aside the aging and corrupt leaders in the Democratic party and they're going to fucking, hang your ass out to dry, even if they don't kill you. Legally and demographically, you and JD Vance, your entire cabinet and that freak Stephen Miller are fucked for life, now.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a Russia Iran news outlet blackout across the internet.]]></title><description><![CDATA[Russia seems to be completely blanked out along with Iran's Press TV.

People that have never amounted to anything in their entire life except harm toward others, control the supreme Court and the cabinet of a President who is on his last legs, whose health is collapsing

attempt snatch and grab operations like what happened to Venezuelan president Nicholas Maduro. Bush was in the same condition when he took Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez into custody in a very similar night time snatch and grab. US forces were too widely deployed and with a serious recruitment problem produced by the hypocrisy of the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, disallowing Bush from putting boots on the ground in Venezuela.</p><p>Trump is in an even worst position than Bush was. Military recruitment in the US is crashing worse than it has, ever and even worse, the cost of US borrowing has gone through the roof. US Treasury bonds are trading at unsustainable yields, with interest rates that'll put the American public in debt for another 50 years, at the present rate of spending. This makes Trump's gambits toward Iran, China and Venezuela an impossible affair. </p><p>If Trump actually puts a significant amounts of boots on the ground to secure the state of Venezuela under US control, the US will be faced with a Vietnam style war that will break the US Bank completely. It was the Vietnam War that forced the US off the gold standard as it could no longer settle its debts in gold. The US switched to paper money for international debt settlement immediately, once they saw the insolvency horizon approaching Wall Street and Washington. There is no place for the US to go, if it can't sell its debt at affordable interest rates abroad, except of course, to cannibalize and loot the wealth of the remaining middle class, then eventually the upper middle class and nouveau riche.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"
