It's a good distraction , probably the <br />Next Place Joe Biden is going to send American troops!</i></span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">FIRST WE HAVE UKRAINE Crisis , then came Israel -Hamas War Crisis and NOW HAITI ? I am sure it's just another distraction were American dollars are going to be sent . PROBABLY The United States will send the military . BUT JUST WAIT .<span>Heavily armed gangs are sowing mayhem, killing indiscriminately, breaking open prisons and blocking aid. Nearly half the country is hungry; 1 million people are starving. You's think it's there Gaza Strip , but no , it's another mess that the United States has had it's thumbs on for decades , now all Hell is broken loose !</span><span>“It was all the CIA’s fault” has become a world renowned excuse for poor decision making on every level of governance. Like damn, it’s funny how the CIA only ever seems to target random nations with incompetent governments instead of their geopolitical rivals.</span>I’m not trying to say that we shouldn’t hold the US accountable. The USA has done some seriously treacherous crimes to Haiti and that’s not anything new or even up for discussion. We know that already. I understand that it is not the Haitian/Port-au-Prince population that should be blamed and shamed just because their government leaders are useless sellouts who only hurt us. All of that really goes without saying.But all of the economic problems in Haiti end up circling back to corruption. The businessmen mulattos (and blacks) who hold all the wealth in Haiti and don’t share it with the masses to better the country. The politicians in office who only have their interest in mind. A seller must have a product to give to that they receive money for it. If the claims that Haiti has all these natural resources and stuff like oil is actually true, then if the people in power weren’t so damn corrupt we would be frickin Dubai right now. Or at least at the level of our neighbors. Is there truly nobody who lives this country enough to not sell it out to a bunch of blancs who don’t care about us? Imagine if all of that money went into causes worthwhile like Education, infrastructure, architecture, buildings, parks, environment conservation, crime, military, etc. instead of these folks pockets. That would be best for Haiti and everybody in the dang Americas. If the US really cared about us they would make it possible for us to be better and install some half-way decent leaders so we don’t have to run to Miami all the damn time.<span>Second, the outcomes of prior foreign interventions in Haiti have been mixed-to-bad. This adds an element of Deja-vu and pessimism to any intervention effort. It’s likely a successful intervention would have to be far more involved than previous ones to prevent the country from just collapsing again once foreign troops leave, and nobody wants to be stuck rebuilding Haiti over a prolonged period of time. Prior interventions have also resulted in a significant anti-intervention sentiment among Haitians, some of whom also oppose any intervention that could prop up the corrupt government. Of course, even if a more inclusive and transparent government is formed, it is very hard to see such a government restoring democracy and civil order without foreign troops.</span><span>In short, it seems like a foreign intervention is necessary to help Haiti get on its feet, but nobody actually wants a foreign intervention, so it’s struggling to move forward.</span><span>Having your country collapse during the re-election campaign of a US president seems like a pretty unfortunate event. </span></span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span>There's some conspiracy theories that the "powers that be" wants this problem to escalate to the DR and somehow merge the two countries into one (not gonna fkn happen) and/or let it get so bad for Haiti that the US sends their "freedom" to Haiti.</span><span>The big deal with our little island is how resource rich it is and it's strategic position potential, it's a very desirable advantage to have. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">One of the biggest hurdles to this entire crisis is that Haiti hasn't had elections since 2016 (!) and their defacto PM isn't elected, and it's rumored that he has ties to the past president's assassination, who was already on dubious legitimacy due to the lack of elections that were postponed multiple times.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">So if an intervention is carried out, it will indirectly legitimize or give more power to an unelected and arguably unpopular politician.</span> Sadly the DR's politicians and executive powers aren't the brightest and most suffer the same illness many latinamerican countries do, corruption by the bucketload, everyone has a price here.</div></span><p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.buzzerhut.com"><img border="0" src="http://www.buzzerhut.com/images/mainlogo_small.gif" width="154" height="42" alt="Promote Your Blog" title="Promote Your Blog For Free" /></a></div>mars309http://www.blogger.com/profile/13593794623683708593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679440018482740658.post-10166986917911187232024-03-09T14:32:00.000-08:002024-03-09T14:32:04.258-08:00GAZA GENOCIDE , its Complicated for America !<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWnm0QBL_hL7M75KXdI6HrzR9udNGm8dAwSsoXNZbCiH4rOEpjPtOy_6Ea49SQX74AbLrCI-IzFHRPXOziR5v8aZiz1-UHjPIP9_-WXTUFKb1pmCuQuv3wQVDvrH5EHsMe0IXwVD585WGH7P79DyDzB-0arBpNUicYcobEL1qVZolSXqtsTQWIgDMjtYvE/s870/c3a8391e481e75884bacbaa0564aa4641033ce43.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="489" data-original-width="870" height="270" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWnm0QBL_hL7M75KXdI6HrzR9udNGm8dAwSsoXNZbCiH4rOEpjPtOy_6Ea49SQX74AbLrCI-IzFHRPXOziR5v8aZiz1-UHjPIP9_-WXTUFKb1pmCuQuv3wQVDvrH5EHsMe0IXwVD585WGH7P79DyDzB-0arBpNUicYcobEL1qVZolSXqtsTQWIgDMjtYvE/w388-h270/c3a8391e481e75884bacbaa0564aa4641033ce43.jpg" width="388" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #990000; font-size: medium;"><i>Gaza is almost Destroyed , population decimated<br />almost 30, 000 dead .

Ir's not like a nation like Israel can get away with any of the alleged crimes against the Palestinians anymore . Social Media has changed the perception of the war . Since the October 7th attack , and almost 200 days later , support for Israel has gone down the drain , or flushed down the toilet . In consequence , it's also dragging down President Joe Biden , the United States foreign policy towards Israel . </span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px; text-align: left;">The U.S.-backed Israeli war against Gaza is now entering its fifth month. It would be impossible to overstate the horrifying destruction that has been unleashed on the people of Gaza. More than 32,000 have been killed. The vast majority — 70 percent of them — are women and children. More than 66,000 others are injured. And these statistics are likely a dramatic undercount; thousands of people remain missing, many of them are lying dead under the rubble of what was once their homes.</span> <b>(1)>> </b></span> <i><b>FOR my readers please read my lat post on Israel. </b>👉<a href="https://theun-politics.blogspot.com/2024/01/hear-o-israel-thou-art-fool.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://theun-politics.blogspot.com/2024/01/hear-o-israel-thou-art-fool.html</a> 👈 . Now </i><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left; white-space-collapse: preserve;">"Uncommitted" stance, condemning Biden's support for the Gaza genocide, and warning that defeat is inevitable unless there is a change in course before November.Has put the entire Biden administration on a "exposed" of unflattering hypocrisy by supping bombs that are killing literally thousands of innocent Palestinians .Interestingly enough , it's extremely hard to criticize Israel for anything it does , you'll get a anti-Semite label . Most of the western media , the American media , the American government will not even use the word "genocide" if it applies to the Palestinian people in Gaza .</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Or, you know, people read the opinions of neutral genocide experts who say it’s genocide even back in November. </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Raz Segal, the program director of genocide studies at Stockton University, concretely says it is a “textbook case of genocide.” Segal believes that Israeli forces are completing three genocidal acts, including, “killing, causing serious bodily harm, and measures calculated to bring about the destruction of the group.” He points to the mass levels of destruction and total siege of basic necessities—like water, food, fuel, and medical supplies—as evidence. </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">It's not about the semantics or belittling the holocaust, and quite frankly, that you felt the need to throw that last bit in, as if someone is actually doing that here, is ridiculous. Most people objectively know that Israel isn't just blindly leveling Gaza or shooting everything that moves, but for many it's coupled with a fairly reasonable belief that Israel doesn't care about collateral damage beyond lip service. In just a few months, Israel killed roughly 1% of the population in the gaza strip, wounded at least another 3%, and thousands more missing and presumed dead while the rest of the strip tries not to starve during a humanitarian crisis while they survive with dwindling supplies of potable water, medicine, shelter, the list goes on. This is not ok, and just by the numbers the conversation about genocide needs to happen, even if Israel is going to beat its chest in the international courts and say it's justified, because it's only going to get worse as it goes on.</span></span><span style="font-family: georgia; letter-spacing: 0.01em; text-align: left;">The U.S. is not some outside observer. It is complicit in all of this. It’s an active partner in the carnage, the bombings, the attacks against defenseless civilians. And it’s leading the international charge to defund the most important aid organization operating in Gaza. And yet, we are told that Biden — who apparently spends his mornings watching Morning Joe on MSNBC — is losing patience with Netanyahu.</span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"> </span></span><span face=""Noto Sans", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1c1c; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;"> </span><span face=""Noto Sans", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">And should it get to that point, my question then will be "If Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip are so reprehensible, why was it not reprehensible when people had the power to step in and stop it but chose not to?". </span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">I guess if you look at it from the perspective of the tactically superior force doing the lions share of the killing there’s never genocide it’s neutralizing the enemy to save society. If the n&@zis had won they certainly wouldn’t have called it a holocaust. So I guess as long as the majority of the worlds developed countries still back Israel and don’t bring any consequences than you can continue to bomb/starve the population to death. I think when some of these kids see there home and entire family turned into gory chunks it’ll make them think “huh maybe Israel isn’t that bad there fighting the terrorist”.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">And think about how many Palestinian lives Israels has taken over the decades. We can condemn Oct 7th, but it didn't come out of nowhere. You can kick a dog, but you shouldn't be surprised if you kick it for years it might go and bite someone. Anyway we're talking about genocide, saying things like: </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">What is proportional? Hell if I know, but your evocative descriptions appeal to passions, and the passions have no place in decisions about how much death and destruction to add to the world.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Gaza is more than half rubble, hordes are wounded and most of the hospitals are non-functional, people are starving in tents while their homes sacked. What kind of person sees that and says, "well, that's not proportional enough yet, is it?"</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""Noto Sans", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""Noto Sans", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><b>NOTES AND COMMENTS:</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""Noto Sans", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium; text-align: justify;"><b>(1)>> </b></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; text-align: justify;"> </span><i style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; text-align: justify;"><b>FOR my readers please read my lat post on Israel. </b></i></span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Big terrorists vs small terrorists Yeah maybe if Israeli maniacs stopped killing people in the west bank, shooting kids and jailing them, stealing their lands, then they wouldn't "sought it" to attack on October 7th . American Tax payer dollars have been funding Israels occupation of Palestinian lands for decades . Our money has been used to send bomb's to kill , its not acceptable anymore </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">, we have a really big fish and a really small fish swimming in the same waters, how does the small fish thrive? Or a better question, how does the small fish not get fucked? At all costs, it should avoid provoking the big fish.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Palestinians deserve a place of their own, but small fish have to fight for their place in different ways than killing. Every terroristic act coming from Palestinians is further justification in the minds of Israelis of their expansion into Palestine. And who would blame them in reality? Who would suffer a neighbor who fights for their rights with suicide bombs and the slaughter of civilians? </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">What do you call bombing Hospitals ,Universitys , and every place where ppl can go and hide for safty . Killing 400 person in one air strike cuz there was one Hamas fighter in the area . Forbidden food and water from 2.2 Million person , when you public officials say on the Media we are fighting animals not humans .when the Israelis ambassador in London said we are looking for destruction not accuracy and there is no innocent children in Gaza .

It was far better to bow out as a winner than waiting until after being shellacked.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">The story of the 2020 primary was that all the polls from the start had Biden beating the field easily but the media not wanting to believe it because he wasn't something new like Pete or Kamala.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">We will all witness both President Trump's Floor in the primary, and his Ceiling in the general. Last time he lost because of his ceiling, Covid, and the first debate performance. That loss came before J6.

But Trump trumps anyone else he is running against. So it will simply be a matter of what his Floor and Ceiling of support are.Even if everyone voted Trump could still win the Presidency with less than 50% of the popular vote. <b>(6)></b>><b>Our government is poorly designed if the goal is a citizen based democracy. </b>Instead we have the rules of a representative Republic which favors states over people as the primary unit interacting with the federal government.So no, voting isn't a panacea to everything that ails this country.

Once a ballot has been separated from it's envelope it is the same as every other ballot, unless it has been machine voted. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Wisconsin had a ballot harvesting scheme in State Nursing Homes that raised serious concerns.

The fall happens usually when the judgement is made and people can no longer deny the evidence. If nothing major breaks to turn people against Trump before the election he could very well end up better off from the legal challenges, and it would have to be something pretty major because there's already plenty of very damning evidence against him that he seems to have survived. But if something terrible were you happen to collapse support for Trump soon the GOP have a great backup option in Nikki Haley who I really struggle to see Biden beating in a general election. It's also unclear how much of Trump's legal woes is priced into the current polling if it's a lot it's possible if some of the cases go better than expected for him he could even get a boost. I think it's a fools game to try to predict these things ahead of time, to me the polls show it's very close and all to play for, but with a slight advantage GOP and I'm inclined to believe them.</span></span><b style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left; white-space-collapse: preserve;">(3.1)>>but Biden has made relations with Russia to the brink of War . </b><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="text-align: left; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Theoretically I believe Biden and his cronies are up to something with the election , war with Russia would be catastrophic , but it's the BIGGEST FALSE FLAG to suspend the election and keep Biden in office much longer .

But they downplay it, maybe he's just a foolish asset, maybe he just admires a dictator. People will see report after report of Ukrainian money going straight into Biden pockets, and then just shrug and say maybe they were tricked. It's insanity. It's right there, the obvious reality that the deep state has been flooding the country with foreign propaganda and many news sites are happy to help.

I cannot imagine SCOTUS agreeing with Colorado on keeping him off the ballot. Even if they do, it might not be decided until the election is over. I don't think any of the indictments are going to keep him from office, and he'll probably be able to keep them in appeal limbo until after the election anyway, at which time he would pardon himself (if he wins). He's going to get the nomination for his party ... it's rigged as much as the Democratic party under Biden. </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">It seems like the process that defined the 2016 primaries is happening again. Trump and his supporters are very good at taking down the current frontrunner until nobody can challenge him. We saw it happen with Jeb, then Rubio, then Cruz and now arguably DeSantis. Nikki Haley has flaws, as well as "flaws" where the Republican base is concerned, and they haven't been given much of a challenge yet.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">People have been saying this since Biden got elected yet when it comes to it Dems still did well in 22 and 23.

Unless there is an EMP strong enough to knock offline hundreds of substations offline at once power would be back in a few weeks at most.

This kind of attack has happened to Ukraine during its war with Russia and hacks were less effective than expected.

The West Coast , pretty much California is being set up for a major power grid catastrophe . It may not be TERRORISM . But a big company failure .<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I agree that PG&E is corrupt and inept and needs to be totally revamped. But being “rescued” by the SF Board of Supervisors is like Bozzo the clown dashing into the cockpit of a crashing airliner to save the day. PG&E is trying to squeeze the consumer to pay for upgrades in how electrical systems are delivered . Now the new scheme is to charge consumers based on income , rather than use. </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">This seems clearly meant to recapture revenue from solar customers. Solar customers that generate all the electricity they use would pay up to $1100 per year in additional charges despite effectively using zero power. Might as well add battery power and go completely off grid at that point.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><i>“The proposal recommends a qualified, independent state agency or third party be responsible for verifying customers’ total household incomes”. </i>WE can also guess that PG&E has it's pockets in the state governor's pockets like NEWSOM , who has benefited to the corrupt utilities company . </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">"Customers for California’s three major power companies — including PG&E ratepayers — can expect to see some big changes in their monthly electricity bills in the coming years as compliance with a new state law begins to unfold."</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">This is so useless. Which law?</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">This is blatantly discrimination. What if high income earners are actually more conservative to the power usage. Doesnt make any sense. It feels like just another way of getting more money because of solar. </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">And the relevance of this tale isn’t just confined to the West Coast—it should alarm anybody who’s ever turned on a light. As Blunt writes: “PG&E’s failure isn’t just a California story. It is, in many ways, a harbinger of challenges to come as climate change exacerbates the vulnerability of the grid, built decades ago to serve a different era of electricity demand.” </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">This 2025 crisis was not simply caused by negligence and poor planning,</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">he outcome is dismal when the growing spectre of climate change collides with negligence, greed, and market-driven interference.

It is more of a documentary with interviews, etc.</span></span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">It seems like in today's day and age, some foreign nations choose the death by a thousand cuts method. So they won't bring everything down all at once, but little by little over time.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">And if COVID was a soft test of our mental, I fear your right.

Imagine America paralyzed for even a month with limited access to internet, payment systems, critical infrastructure.It’s not even about a single blow, just the ability to cause widespread chaos solely through the internet/computers that’s so terrifying. In that scenario, I’m not worried about Chinese paratroopers or a secret migrant army - I’m worried about everyone losing their minds with fear.Seriously, I think I’m 100x more likely to get killed by some panicking Americans than any foreign soldier.

I don’t pity him, he knew what he was doing.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"> The same mistake won't be made twice.</span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">The timing is hilarious. Putin- Tucker interview comes out and mentions trying to end the war with Ukraine, but the USA said Ukraine should fight. And then this bomb drops a week later. Americans are too stupid to realize their government is not working for the people. And any government that is, is not an ally to the u.s. glad more people are aware of the blatant propaganda and false flags to implement this perspective. Remember that already NOW US President Joe Biden is pushing for harder sanctions against Russia , which whatever they'll work is never worked before . So , to TRUTHFUL , with the HARD TRUTH about Navalny. </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left; white-space-collapse: preserve;">They're using his death to catapult him into the limelight. You can guarantee that he knew his time was up, remember the CIA are running Ukraine, and you can bet that there are Ukrainian prisoners in Russian prisons and guards that can be bought with connections back to the CIA. </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left; white-space-collapse: preserve;">He had become a lame duck to them, why not kill him, blame Putin, use that narrative to force through the $60B 'aid' package and take the light of the Tucker Carlson interview, and how beautiful and peaceful Russia is. </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Plus the fact that every MSM outlet along with almost every western gov't and celebrities are all telling us what a wonderful man he was for opposing Putin... he was caught on video planning a coup. The Story of Navalny is such a big lie . He was just like </span><span style="background-color: white; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit; text-align: left;">Venezuelan pretender Guaido, following the re-election of Maduro, escaped Venezuela voluntarily. He was promoted by Western nations as the true president of Venezuela (despite having never been a candidate in the election), to the point where the UK seized assets of $1 billion gold that belonged to Venezuelan officials, deposited in UK banks, and declared Guaido to be the true caretaker of those assets.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Navalny is an old propaganda device, from previous western brainwashing cycles. Every time a popular neonazi like him gets arrested western press calls it Putin arresting his "opposition" then unanimously declare this neonazi to be the true leader of Russia. So now they can overthrow Russia, kill Putin and put Navalny in charge or whoever doesn't matter, they don't like Navalny its more of a pre-written script with interchangeable characters. </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">The USA is so corrupted by propaganda that they will tell you one mans death is a tragedy while ignoring a genocide, and people eat it up. It's easy to get lost in the death of one individual, regardless of what they stood for, because that is easy to understand. The deaths of thousands, possibly millions of people is hard to understand, most people can't even imagine it. So using the death of one man that was a corrupt tool of the system himself, is a great way to distract the masses from something else. Like using a card trick in one hand, while the magician steals your wallet with the other hand.</span></span></div><span style="background-color: white; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span face="TwitterChirp, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0f1419; font-size: medium; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span face="TwitterChirp, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0f1419; font-size: medium; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><b>NOTES AND COMMENTS: </b></span><b style="text-align: left; white-space-collapse: collapse;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">(1)>>“Russian Opposition leader” . </span></b><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="text-align: left;">Navalny received payment in Bitcoin from the US Department of International Affairs for his work against the Russian government. In addition, he also evaded paying taxes, for which he was imprisoned for 3.5 years. So he is not a political prisoner at all. </span><span style="text-align: left;">Navalny was supposed to be in prison for many more years, so he wasn't a real opposition to anyone. Apparently, Tacker's interview got too popular lately, so there was a need for something like Navalny's death to happen. Now the question is, who benefited from his death, and out of those who had capacity to pull that off. </span><span style="text-align: left;">Navalny was involved with neo-nazi groups in early 2000s and when his open radical nationalism and racism against non-slavic etthnic group was no longer appealing to the audience, he switched sides. Threw under the bus his former comrades which lead to jail time for many. His entire career was built on empty promises and exposee reports against oligarchy as well as government members. "Independent" media was building imagine of martyr who fights against the evil regime while Navalny himself was financed by oligarchy. His entire political career brough no positive changes to the country even on minor, local scale.</span><span style="text-align: left;">I looked up about Navalny. Here's some facts. </span><span style="text-align: left;">In 2007, Navalny co-founded the National Russian Liberation Movement,, which sets immigration policy as a priority. The movement allied itself with two nationalist groups, the Movement Against Illegal Immigration and Great Russia. In the same year, Navalney released several anti-immigration videos, including one where he advocated for the deportation of all migrants. </span><span style="text-align: left;">Later, through his social media channels, Navalny and his team published material about corruption in Russia including detailed information about a large multimillion dollar villa owned by Putin, and Navalny organised political demonstrations against Putin and his government ... which received large western media coverage, though actual turnout in the demonstrations was just in the hundreds. </span><span style="text-align: left;">Navalny was not actually a major political threat to Putin. His Russian following was relatively small, and in the 2013 Moscow mayoral election Navalney came in second with 27% of the vote.</span></span><span face="TwitterChirp, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #0f1419; font-family: TwitterChirp, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; text-align: left;"><b style="color: black; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium; white-space-collapse: collapse;">(1.2)>>So it's HIS OWN FAULT .</b><span style="color: black; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium; white-space-collapse: collapse;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" data-dcy-id="0.51015774021243" dir="auto" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">I find it hilarious when I see all these Russophobes in Europe call Navalny 'a hero of democracy'</span><img alt="😃" class="small-emoji emoji style-scope yt-formatted-string" src="https://www.youtube.com/s/gaming/emoji/7ff574f2/emoji_u1f603.png" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; height: var(--yt-formatted-string-small-emoji-size,16px); margin: 0px 2px 3px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: middle; width: var(--yt-formatted-string-small-emoji-size,16px);" /><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" data-dcy-id="0.5497133133864669" dir="auto" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"> The reason why the west adored him is because he was ready to serve Russia on a plate had he ever ascended to power. He was pretty much the west's #1 Russian stooge. He went to Germany for medical treatment and what shocked me was him returning to Russia when he could've lived comfortably lived in Germany or any other western European nation of his choice. Heck even the Americans would've welcomed him with open arms had he chose to go there but since he was hell bent on causing chaos in Russia he flew back. Navalny's comments about Asians and brown people also say a lot about him. Mind you Russia is a very diverse nation which has citizens with Asian facial features. According to Navalny, 'Asian & brown people aren't human'.</span></span></div></span><script src="http://blogdirectory.me/strip.php?uid=7784&cat=14" type="text/javascript"></script><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.buzzerhut.com"><img border="0" src="http://www.buzzerhut.com/images/mainlogo_small.gif" width="154" height="42" alt="Promote Your Blog" title="Promote Your Blog For Free" /></a></div>mars309http://www.blogger.com/profile/13593794623683708593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679440018482740658.post-87741205441403961142024-02-15T13:59:00.000-08:002024-02-16T14:53:39.559-08:00SUPER BOWEL 58 & RIGGED CONSPIRACY THEORY .<div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjflbch7bcERiWAaERdzU0NjOd15KvBXacZX2-ktUizHA6kjo2mmI1P6nqNcBj459eQOaxvEHpYxvZFOwacF1_Qlt9xOb4ouHwGZTt_2nT7T7U9ixxXWYiCAP2dG0tA6u6wT4r00Tft86Yu7pqu299pNVG8aXEHEySalzYW0FhcZBJ-oDAG7-k8UJt1mY1q/s680/GFwKnIQXoAEtHE3.jpeg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="680" data-original-width="486" height="344" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjflbch7bcERiWAaERdzU0NjOd15KvBXacZX2-ktUizHA6kjo2mmI1P6nqNcBj459eQOaxvEHpYxvZFOwacF1_Qlt9xOb4ouHwGZTt_2nT7T7U9ixxXWYiCAP2dG0tA6u6wT4r00Tft86Yu7pqu299pNVG8aXEHEySalzYW0FhcZBJ-oDAG7-k8UJt1mY1q/w241-h344/GFwKnIQXoAEtHE3.jpeg" width="241" /></a></div><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><span face="TwitterChirp, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Segoe UI, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span><div style="font-family: georgia; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><span face="TwitterChirp, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Segoe UI, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">The same deluded people who were saying that we have to support Ukraine and now Israel missed a good distraction .

Now, with all that in mind, let’s turn to Taylor Swift. I believe she has been used, because of her popularity, and it doesn’t matter if you like her or not, she is very popular. She did take a small hit with her decision to try the political world and I hope she learned her lesson from doing that. So, knowing the media has used other incidents with Taylor, knowing the NFL, why not use Taylor Swift and her relationship, only to get the viewership of the Super Bowl up. Now, did it really happen, we will truly never know the truth, but, according to the media, it worked. So, all of this is really, the media using Taylor Swift to help Roger Goodell and the NFL get viewership. Now, I do hope Taylor has learned to keep her mouth shut about the political world, we shall see, but you can bet, even if she does, the crooked democrats will use the last election actions, and we need to make sure they don’t rig the elections like they helped Roger rig the Super Bowl.</span><span style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> </span><b style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left; white-space-collapse: preserve;">(3)></b><span style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left; white-space-collapse: preserve;">></span><b style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I BELIEVE that the some one was paid to win and the other team was paid to loose the game . </b><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> REMEMBER , that the Super bowel is just a game played by "actors".

Putin used the interview to deliver a lengthy lecture on the history of the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, and its aftermath, meant to convince viewers that Ukraine never had a right to exist. Ukraine was as Putin said a "by product of the Soviet era " .</span><span face="-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", sans-serif" style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">The world and borders hundreds of years ago are not fixed for eternity, the people of Ukraine is what Ukraine is today. </span></span><span face="-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", sans-serif" style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">To be brief, the territory of what's now modern Ukraine was then embedded in a tumultuous political landscape and competition between multiple great powers in various stages of rise and decline and Khmelnytsky leads a people that is not independent, but not without significant military force, but not so significant that he can fight any battle of his choosing without allies.

There were still a lot of cross border connections until 2014, in any case - really things have accelerated apart in the past 10 years. Before that time I wouldn't even really say the Russian government even had any particularly coherent outlook as to how to consider Ukraine (besides "basically the same place as us").</span><span><span face="-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", sans-serif" style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"> He slightly talked about the case that Ukraine had a coup in 2014.... but he didn't go into much detail on these points.</span><span face="-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", sans-serif" style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">I would have found it much more interesting if he talked in detail about the points above, and also to discuss what the future holds. How a safe and cooperative relationship could one day again be achieved, what is Russia's view on that, why does Russia think things fell apart? </span></span><span face="-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", sans-serif" style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">The most charitable reading one can give to Putin on this count is that there were verbal promises made in 1990 to Gorbachev and by Clinton to Yeltsin in 1993 that NATO would not expand or add new members. That's the </span><em style="background-color: white; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">most</em><span face="-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", sans-serif" style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"> charitable reading though, and really what was said or not said is disputed (the 1990 discussion from the American perspective was that NATO would not station troops in East Germany, and the American perspective on the Clinton statement was that NATO would not add new members </span><em style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: left;">at that time</em><span face="-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", sans-serif" style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">).</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">From watching the whole video I got the impression that Putin, since he got in office in 2000 was trying to join the western club, but was not taken seriously by the Americans and Europeans, due to the way he runs things. Seems like every time he tried to make deals with US presidents they initially thought it would work, but after consulting with advisers they've backed away for some reason. Which leads me to conclude he's got a lot of bad skeletons in his closet and the US doesn't want to deal with him. Also the lack of phone calls between him and Biden suggests they both don't think any direct talks will achieve anything. I get the feeling it's like a mob boss trying to make deals with a real Government that just frowns at the prospects.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">I can see the US and Russia being allies within our future lifetime, but very recently many European nations were friendly with Russia, they had cooperation and good relationships... I think it's possible that Europe and Russia to one day become more cooperative again. People look at the current conflict and think no, but long term we should aim for peace and cooperation, so it's important to consider how we can reach a solution one day, even if in the distant future.</span></span></div><script src="http://blogdirectory.me/strip.php?uid=7784&cat=14" type="text/javascript"></script><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.buzzerhut.com"><img border="0" src="http://www.buzzerhut.com/images/mainlogo_small.gif" width="154" height="42" alt="Promote Your Blog" title="Promote Your Blog For Free" /></a></div>mars309http://www.blogger.com/profile/13593794623683708593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679440018482740658.post-35804508326845695052024-02-07T15:44:00.000-08:002024-02-07T15:44:11.872-08:00AMERICA'S HYPOTHETICAL SECOND CIVIL WAR(S)<div style="text-align: justify;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuT1msjaTCdA0cpihf1K9habFsisbysslO5ECcWMJHjOLo1TEueN0DF-9iESD-7GJoPxkNaQwc3PMPnlw9OCHrdsJ0rPJ0-HHkaIUCGjRPH0CvwlCxZhOTohN9i-yGKADYx-Ae0zFi_MJspFUo8UhByDx2BZZzS6e2OhUtv5j835j8oIt0ewqFG80fb25D/s1090/GEua0h4W8AAWUDZ.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="793" data-original-width="1090" height="233" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuT1msjaTCdA0cpihf1K9habFsisbysslO5ECcWMJHjOLo1TEueN0DF-9iESD-7GJoPxkNaQwc3PMPnlw9OCHrdsJ0rPJ0-HHkaIUCGjRPH0CvwlCxZhOTohN9i-yGKADYx-Ae0zFi_MJspFUo8UhByDx2BZZzS6e2OhUtv5j835j8oIt0ewqFG80fb25D/w474-h233/GEua0h4W8AAWUDZ.jpg" width="474" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: TwitterChirp, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; text-align: start; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: medium;">25 US state governors signed a petition in support of Texas against the federal government.

So I've watched a few youtube videos and news pieces from each side and viewpoint. It's all very conflicting, below are a couple examples from prominent political channels. On the <b>(5)>>SUBJECT of WAR , it appears the American government leaders are in a squabble </b>, a foreign policy that is dangerous , pushed by war hawks in the military industrial complex. We keep hearing about WWW 3 & </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">It all depends on if World War 3 would be the same as the last two World Wars. If so, then we all know Europe is going to be the main battleground of the war, and most European nations are greatly experienced in dealing with warfare on their own lands due to centuries of war being fought throughout their countries. Not to mention that weapons and artillery are much more advanced nowadays. As for a second civil war in the US? Well, slavery ended last time, so what would this Civil War 2.0 be about this time? Religion? Political ideologies? Racism? Just plain secession? Why feel the need to secede when you don't have a legit reason to? The union today is much more advanced and evolved than it was nearly 200 years ago. So why feel the need to secede?</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">If anything, we will economically fall apart because our current national debt and rate of increase is unsustainable. It may be next year, it may be 30 years. <b>(6)></b>><b>But at some point the government will economically collapse.</b></span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Which coincidentally is a reason why our capitalist economy is a good thing. With private ownership and operation, a lot of businesses will be able to continue to operate somewhat even with a crumbling government, and survive until things are established.

Although there are certain things I do not like about this bill, it was very clear that this was a common sense compromise that would be a good starting point.</span><span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; white-space-collapse: preserve;">We reached a point where there is no middle ground.</span><span style="background-color: white; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The liberal left has pushed the conservative right to the edge and now when they have the majority are pushing back. The liberal left is paying for the pound of flesh they extracted and are balking at the price. </span><span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Biden opened the borders and only with an election year bitting at his heals does he want to address the problem.</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;">The United States today is, once again, headed for civil war (starting with Congress) , and, once again, it cannot bear to face it. The political problems are both structural and immediate, the crisis both longstanding and accelerating. The American political system has become so overwhelmed by anger that even the most basic tasks of government are increasingly impossible.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;">The consequences of the breakdown of the American system is only now beginning to be felt. January 6 wasn’t a wake-up call; it was a rallying cry. </span><span style="background-color: white;">When you allow a force of tens of millions into the US and remove any restriction to accessing our border you are in violation of your oath of office. If you allow known foreign intel cells into the US, then give them cell phones and money, you are engaging in actions against the security of the US. Texas is catching hundreds of people on the terrorist watchlist from a variety of nations. The Biden admin is not doing this. When this admin is given this intel they ignore it and continue to allow millions into the US. That is treason. Biden has completely abandoned this country and his whole admin should be removed from office. He’s setting a record for historic failures. </span><span style="background-color: white;">I think the problem is, any mass amnesty will just encourage further illegal immigration unless the immigration system is fixed to eliminate the possibility of future illegal immigrants coming to the country as well as refugees showing up unannounced on our borders (or within our borders) and immediately being allowed to stay in the US.</span><span style="background-color: white;">The bill improved border security, but that wouldn't have fixed the problem. You would have actually needed a bill that made it near impossible for any illegal immigrant to stay in the US.</span></span><i style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left;"> </i><b style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">(2)>>Some sources say this is solely because of a Texas border crisis.</b><span style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;">How serious is the Texas border crisis? </span><span style="background-color: white;">There is a significant bureaucratic issue processing refugees.

It would also be foolish for either camp to escalate this into bloodshed, and they know that, but there's going to be a lot of public pressure to get one side to back down. Whether that means Biden taking control of the National Guard, cutting off funding for certain things, or whatever else remains to be seen.</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;"><i><b>(2.1)>></b></i></span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; letter-spacing: -0.36px; text-align: left;"><b>Popular Chinese outlets have been suggesting that events in Texas . </b></span><span style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">If the US entered a civil war, China would try to prolong the conflict as much as possible, and try to maximize its own geopolitical gains in Asia and the Pacific. However, China, along with pretty much the entire world, would enter an severe economic downturn. At least initially. The United States is China’s largest trading partner, and the sudden drop in U.S. productivity and consumption would lead China to lose billions of dollars until they found a suitable replacement. China would have to decide if a weak America or a poor China is more important. I imagine that at first, China would try to drag the war out, but as they begin to lose sizable amounts of revenue, their calculus may shift.As for geopolitical goals, China would get a lot more hawkish. They would be tempted to invade Taiwan, although I still think they would refrain. China would try to gain allies in the Middle East, like Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States, who would abandon the U.S. in a heartbeat. China would also try to consolidate its grip over Africa. Perhaps the biggest opportunity though would be Latin America. Traditionally the U.S. aggressively responds to any foreign influence that begins to surface and Latin America, as we saw in the Cold War, but it would be powerless to stop China while embroiled in Civil War.Back to the economic side of things, China may try to shift to becoming a consumer based economy like the U.S. China’s population is on the down turn, which does not bode well for any country, but especially countries like China which so heavily rely on cheap labor. A switch to a consumer-based economy would ease the burden of a collapsing population, and would allow for a higher quality of life for the average citizen. Conversely, a recovering America would likely revert to being more production-based, meaning that after the civil war we could see a role swap in the U.S.-China economic relationship. All in all, a fascinating hypothetical to analyze.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;"><b>(3)>></b></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;"><i><b>I don't expect a revolution, civil war, or coup in the next 3 years.</b> </i></span><span style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;">People are more aware than ever that their financial security is an illusion, just as most other types are. I also believe that if another revolution were to take place in America, that the end result would appear as nothing like the first. I think a lot of folks don't realize how easy it is to become invisible in our nation, if one is willing to endure some hardship. For those already enduring an imbalance of it already, there are probably instances of violence in their lives, and feel that they have little control of it. This too is an illusion. What it is really is a choice. This choice is simple, how attached are you to the status quo, and do you honestly believe that your attachments warrant cutting off all ties. For many the answer is yes, as evidenced by the fact that there are an enormous amount of people affilicted with so-called mental disorders. While many of these are in fact indisputable, many are also social definitions for communal abnormalities. Social experiments with rats proved this long ago. As we are not rats, the scale of potential goes up exponentially when taking in the the sheer intellectual capacity that the disenfranchised truly represent. This is in social aberrations as well as technical capacity for greater impact. An example would be any of the shooter tragedies that have plagued us recently. These situations are indicators of the stress that the less influential in society feel. Personally, I feel a sleeping giant is in for a very rude awakening, for they ignored the fact they've been making their bed on a powder keg.</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;"> </span><b style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">(4)></b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">></span><b style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">Americans do not control policy in America anymore. </b><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span> The RECENT BUDGET BATTLE in Washington D.C. over the border , bill , the reckless funding divide on Ukraine and Israel .

Biden is willing to tighten the border to get the aid for Ukraine that is needed. Democrats hammered out a plan that would meet many Republican demands but they continue to hold out for unacceptable restrictions. Many democrats are angry that they are being asked to give in as much as they have but most likely will go along with it if that compromise will help get needed aid to Ukraine. But Republicans of course have no intention to compromise, they never do. But I think it will be quite clear to most thinking people that republicans don’t really care about the border, about immigrants, about working together for solutions to these issues. They only want an issue that gets their bases worked into a frenzy. So Biden and company called their bluff. NOW sending Billions to Israel is another type snafu that Congress had tangled it's self in . </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">There is a growing group that doesn't believe in sending military aide to sponsor foreign wars, in general.

That number has been estimated to be 1200, but how and why this attack caught the Israeli defense system off guard is now a subject of conspiratorial speculations . Besides this , since October 7th of 2023 , Israeli fallibility and sympathy has taken a dive world wide .

Especially when you show any sympathy towards the Palestinians . What the current modern Bibi Natannyahu government has done in the last few months is how stupid and irrational the Israeli government is , pretty much unraveled the decades long apartheid -police state that exists in modern Israel. It appears too that modern is Israel is not a "democracy " at all but a Zionist Fascist state that it is . Not only is Israel bad for any one who is Jewish , or even Christian to support Israel , but it's down right goes against any values of Judaism and Christianity .<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Sixty years after its foundation, Israel refuses to accept that it should exist for the sake of its citizens. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">I would point to the Nakba. Israel was founded on mass expulsions of Palestinians. It is not just a historical event; it is still happening today with house demolitions and evictions on both sides of the green line. I would say that Israel´s attacks on Gaza are genocidal. They are so indiscriminate. In regards to the population of Palestine, the median age is quite low: 20,77 in 2020. About half of the population in Gaza are children. So Palestinians don´t get to grow very old.</span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"> The Israeli government has forgotten the vary message of the TORAH . </span><span class="LEwnzc Sqrs4e" data-dcy-id="0.7100824635562142" style="background-color: white; color: #990000; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"> </span><span data-dcy-id="0.4166091141065167" style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><b><span><span style="color: #990000;">"<span data-dcy-id="0.8004157480467802">You shall not wrong nor oppress the stranger, for you were strangers in the Land of</span> Egypt"</span> </span></b>(Exodus 22:20).

I consider it unbearable when children die, no matter which side.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">The world looks at Israel under the largest magnifying glass in political history. Every little thing that happens in Israel that looks violent or whatever gets an amount of coverage extremely disproportionate to the true magnitude of the conflict. Israel is a tiny country and the Israeli Palestinian conflict shouldn’t receive that much attention.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The reason why Israel’s issues are reported on, extensively, is because it of the state’s self-identification as a liberal democracy and its strong relationship with other leading liberal democratic countries.

Most sane people want peace for both sides. Just because someone wants the war to stop or criticizes the Israeli government doesn't make them anti-Semitic or Pro-Hamas. The whole point of democracy is free speech, the ability to voice discontent or offer other solutions.</span></span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">This current slaughter in Gaza has drawn the curtains to why the west has been waging wars in middle eastern countries for over 30 years to destabilize Israel’s neighbors. We have been lied to by our government’s telling us that Muslims and Arabs are the enemy, where in reality it’s been the Zionists from day one. Until we as AMERICAN citizens stand up to our elected officials and tell them in no uncertain terms that they will not be re-elected if they support the tyrannical and murderous Israeli regimes, nothing will change.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"> The whole polarization BS is what is keeping this war and this violence going.

Other than Harris, who else would run? Newsom? Whitmer? Buttigieg? Klobuchar? There’s a lack of charismatic stars on the left right now, and giving up the advantage of an incumbent against a threat such as Trump or Desantis would be risky. Dems are going to have some tricky decisions to make in the near future.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: 0pt;"> While it seems easy that getting rid of Trump was the goals of Pelosi - Schumer - Hillary axis for 4 years it may have hit a wall of brick .[ For now]. .</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">The Iowa Caucuses are a sincere waste of time for being exclusionary processes. And the country shouldn’t be relying on Iowa to make an informed first choice about something as important as the presidency.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">The Republican caucus in Iowa is just a straight up vote and tally. One supporter is allowed to speak for 3 min max before the vote. The caucus is organized by voting precinct, so the number of people attending an individual caucus is relatively small (<200 for mine). Our caucus was completed within an hour.</span><span style="background-color: white;">PARADOXICALLY!!! </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><i data-dcy-id="0.6771915031286295">The "Subsequent" Return of Donald Trump 2021- 2024 AD. </i></span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Trump's surprisingly large supporter base at this point in time should most definitely not be ignored, but for the past like three elections this same analysis was applied to Bernie and every time it was a disaster.

He also insisted he defeated Biden in November, a repetition of the falsehood that is helping Trump and his allies raise hundreds of millions of dollars in donations. </span></span><span data-dcy-id="0.012533184744894399" style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">There’s something very appropriate about a Trump-Trump ticket in 2024; there would be no brand dilution at all. And the idea of a dynastic ticket would give the 45th president time to choose among Junior, Ivanka, and the budding politician Lara, leaving Mike Pence mulling the price of his one moment of independence. </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">2020 was rigged and so shall 2024. </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">I predict Ttump wins. Then proceeds to get his revenge while tearing down a *lot* of "democratic" stuff. Some of which indeed needs to go, yes, but overall he'll act more like an elephant in a porcelain store, than an experienced surgeon perating to remove a cancer tumor.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Typical American Democrats to accuse someone else of what they've done or plan to do. The OP isn't even American and yet hes talking like the American Democrat he likely aspires to be. Hypocrisy is alive and well in the Political-Left.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">I still laugh at how they are trying to rewrite history into saying Hitler and Stalin were politically right, when they were in fact socialists...you know...the left.</span></span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">After the cringe that was the Republican debate.

You can't just pronounce something like this from the well of the House and then dust your hands and go home.

Whereas Trump and his up-and-coming political successors pretty firmly reject neoconservative foreign policy (at least on paper). Her potential presidential future is a creation of DC media buzz, it doesn’t reflect reality on the ground. This neoconservative bias also shows up in how people like Tom Cotton, Tim Scott and Ron DeSantis get overhyped in political reporting. (DeSantis is the real deal, but he’s still a bit overhyped because he’s friendlier to neocon ideology.)</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">In general, it’s good to remember that political reporters in the US overwhelmingly live in either DC or New York, and talk overwhelmingly with political operatives who also live in DC or New York. This means political journalists often overhype the wrong people, and that’s especially true for the Republican Party.</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; letter-spacing: 0pt;"><b>(2)></b>></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;"><b>I lowkey wish Biden isn’t running for president again in 2024 and have another democratic nomination. </b></span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span face="TwitterChirp, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; text-align: left; white-space-collapse: preserve;">1) Biden is running in 2024 so this isn’t an issue.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">For all the rumblings that Democratic voters wanted an alternative candidate to </span><a class="gnt_ar_b_a" data-t-l=":b|e|k|${u}" href="https://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/joe-biden/" style="background-color: white; text-align: left; text-decoration-color: rgb(0, 152, 254); text-decoration-thickness: 2px; text-underline-offset: 2px;">President Joe Biden</a><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">, he won the New Hampshire primary even without appearing on the ballot.</span><span face="TwitterChirp, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; text-align: left; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> </span><span face="TwitterChirp, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; text-align: left; white-space-collapse: preserve;">2) Manchin?

If she wins both or at least has very strong performances in both (within a couple points of Trump), I think she could have some serious potential to go all the way, maybe like 30% to win. If she loses both by more than a few points or loses either of them badly, the race is basically over, Trump takes the nomination.</span></span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">This pending 2024 election could be a major turning point for the US, because for the first time since boomers reached voting age, young people will have the demographic advantage. The boomers are split 49/51 but younger people are more complicated, and have yet to pick a leader for themselves.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">The idea of voting for Hillary or Biden makes me feel physically ill and sad at the same time. Biden is a NOT good one, but he should be retired. And the history of hate and lies the lame-stream-media has built up against Hillary over the decades is too much for any regular TV news or Facebook user to easily overcome. I really had to work to research enough about her to decided I liked her before I voted for her in the 2016 election. No, I didn't vote for her in the primaries, ever chose Trump , </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Anyone who voted for Biden or Hilary proves they probably shouldn’t be allowed to vote : all the stuff yall suggest against Trump is double true about them .

Now here is the CRAZINESS .</span><span data-dcy-id="0.12021942395831364" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: left;">“From a national security perspective,</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">the most alarming aspect of this is it undermines confidence both in the public, the press, but more importantly, perhaps within the national security system itself, that vital information is getting shared,” said</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"> </span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: left;">BRETT</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"> </span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: left;">BRUEN</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">, the president of the Global Situation Room and a former NSC official. With that said , Who the heck is calling the shots right now while the entire middle -east is going to explode !? </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">If you're asking "why is it such a big deal", beyond what's explained, he's extremely high up in the chain of command. First, he is 7th from being president. And while there are a lot of measures in place to make sure the VP and President are rarely near each other without a massive amount of protection around them, it doesn't mean something awful couldn't happen. The idea is to keep those two separated most of the time for that reason. But sometimes important dinners or meetings require them to be in the same room. Having the 7th person from president just missing is really bad.</span><span style="background-color: white;">Furthermore, he's in charge of our defense. If something went horribly wrong with Ukraine, or God forbid we came under attack, we need him available in a moments notice. And if he isn't available we need to know so his successor is immediately contacted.</span><span style="background-color: white;">Finally, it's a huge red flag to our security because if he went missing for a few days and the White House itself doesn't know about it, that's a few days to a week that seems terrorist or antagonistic state could be torturing him for incredibly valuable information. If we know he's say, been kidnapped within an hour of it happening we can be trying to rescue him before they get a chance to even get him tied up to a chair. Now instead they've already got every code he has before we even know where to begin.</span></span><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">What is clear is that senior leaders at the Pentagon and White House — including President Biden, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, and Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks — didn’t know about Austin’s hospitalization until days later. Multiple reports indicate that they weren’t informed about Austin’s condition and hospitalization until Thursday, January 4.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 18px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif;"><b><i>Middle EAST ON FIRE ! </i></b></span></span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: #fafafa; letter-spacing: -0.165px; text-align: justify;">The secretary of defense, in contrast, is a rather consequential position in the U.S. government. He is in charge of the largest and most important part of the executive branch and second in the chain of command only to the president of the United States. He is central to any number of scenarios crucial to U.S. national security, including the decision to launch a nuclear strike.</span><span style="background-color: #fafafa; letter-spacing: -0.165px; text-align: justify;">If a U.S. destroyer gets hit in the Red Sea, you don’t want U.S. commanders and high U.S. officials wondering where the SecDef is.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Call it "The Case of the Disappearing Defense Secretary."

Why no 'war' on the southern border?</span><span style="text-align: left;">Almost three months on, Israel’s massive military retaliation is reverberating around the region, with explosions in Lebanon and rebels from Yemen attacking shipping in the Red Sea. Meanwhile, Western countries are pumping military aid into Israel while deploying fleets to protect commercial shipping — risking confrontation with the Iranian navy.</span><span style="text-align: left;">That's in line with a grim prediction made last year by Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, who</span><span style="text-align: left;"> </span><a data-dcy-id="0.749460438455281" href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/iranian-foreign-minister-threatens-inevitable-expansion-of-war-against-israel/amp/" style="border-bottom: .125rem solid var(--c-secondary); box-sizing: inherit; text-align: left; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all var(--transition-speed);" target="_blank">said</a><span style="text-align: left;"> </span><span style="text-align: left;">that Israel’s counteroffensive in Gaza meant an “expansion of the scope of the war has become inevitable,” and that further escalation across the Middle East should be expected. </span><span style="text-align: left;">David Schenker, a former U.S. assistant secretary of state at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy think-tank, cautioned that while neither Iran and its allied groups nor the U.S. appeared to want a direct confrontation, the risks were growing. The possibility of a major strike that draws America into a conflict is "a very realistic concern," he said.</span></span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Didn't Blinken notice Secretary Austin was missing on the 50 trips he made to the Arab nations during the war </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="text-align: left; white-space-collapse: preserve;">in the middle east between Israel the the Palestinian people who fight for Hamas? </span><span style="text-align: left; white-space-collapse: preserve;">That's how disingenuous he is.

The officials were not authorized to speak publicly about the matter and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">If DOD is going to hide something from Sullivan for a few days, could they at least make it something cool? </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Like, "sorry we forgot to tell you but we fired the commander of USFK for deliberately inflating the number of ATACMS he needs, turns out that was bullshit". </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Austin should be fired. First, he went under the knife without telling anybody. Second, he didn’t inform anyone he was in the Walter Reed ICU. Third, as a Cabinet member , he has no expectation of privacy but an obligation to notify POTUS and Congress as a Cabinet member. Fourth, a positive handoff was required because he is part of the National Command Authority. Fifth, his deputy should have immediately returned from vacation because of his incapacity. As #2, you can’t call it in. This a continuity of government failure of which he is directly responsible for. </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Wouldn't there be a chain of succession even for verification ? It's not like an enemy can completely forestall a nuclear strike just by taking out the Sec defense, leaving the President unable to order a strike.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Besides, it's not particularly high risk of nuclear strike right now. Bill Clinton famously lost his card with his code for months.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">I think it also is a pointer to having sufficiently able office/underlings that you can take some sick time off and not have everyone miss you ..</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Though someone probably should have set his Out of Office email message. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 18px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.buzzerhut.com"><img border="0" src="http://www.buzzerhut.com/images/mainlogo_small.gif" width="154" height="42" alt="Promote Your Blog" title="Promote Your Blog For Free" /></a></div>mars309http://www.blogger.com/profile/13593794623683708593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679440018482740658.post-35216739683773674352024-01-09T15:30:00.000-08:002024-01-14T15:20:33.695-08:00Jeffery Epstein documents, NOW WHAT? <div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPKuk2HPv-yjYXuY7Togy5zwwiHsbL0Rp3Gu5RH11OlOCJ7h8CivYKbmC8cgdwif3lGjXcVYt8i11LYNLBuGtcUIfSm5x7Dzi4KSZwha7lI7zVaRjxvru9wE-swMxDXEpW4Qd_e8BOD1ueF2DJZhcK1MRea8TDtqOtFSS30Iza3nvmJ-9X9FA3FLrugABX/s1024/GettyImages-1154618940-1024x684.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="684" data-original-width="1024" height="287" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPKuk2HPv-yjYXuY7Togy5zwwiHsbL0Rp3Gu5RH11OlOCJ7h8CivYKbmC8cgdwif3lGjXcVYt8i11LYNLBuGtcUIfSm5x7Dzi4KSZwha7lI7zVaRjxvru9wE-swMxDXEpW4Qd_e8BOD1ueF2DJZhcK1MRea8TDtqOtFSS30Iza3nvmJ-9X9FA3FLrugABX/w366-h287/GettyImages-1154618940-1024x684.jpg" width="366" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #990000; font-size: medium;">Jeffery Epstein is one BIG CONSPIRACY THEORY <br />So NOW that the list is out ..<br />What next ?????</span></b></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br />HAPPY NEW YEAR my READERS! .

The list of all these names is mind boggling , it's not just men , you'd be shocked how many women were on the Epstein list.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; text-align: left;">But despite scores of names of Hollywood stars, politicians and celebrities scattered across once-sealed documents released in New York this week, little new information has been added to the broad sex-trafficking conspiracy at the center of the Epstein story. </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;">Documents released overnight focused on the sex trafficking conspiracy’s recruitment of young women, including Ruslana Korshunova, a Kazakh-Russian model who killed herself two years after being flown to Epstein’s island. <b>(2)></b>><b>While back I speculated that Epstein was somehow linked to the shadowy </b></span><b><span style="font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;">Pizza gate</span><span style="font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;"> '</span><span style="font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;">conspiracy</span><span style="font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;">' . </span></b></span><span data-dcy-id="0.8604912777574107" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; text-align: left;">The phantom pedophile ring was allegedly being run from the basement of a pizzeria which didn’t even </span><span data-dcy-id="0.7756112130688417" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-style: italic; text-align: left;">have </span><span data-dcy-id="0.8582205572890587" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; text-align: left;">a basement.

In the case of wider conflict, with state actors in the Middle East won't necessarily need to be involved directly and conventionally to do some tangible damage to "collective west" should they choose to proceed on this path. They can target the vital infrastructure and supply networks in the Middle East. For example, Suez Canal, not being very far from the conflict epicenter, cost 12% of global trade, 9 billion dollars a day, when it was blockaded in 2021, due to it being jammed by ship accident.

Republicans have grown increasingly skeptical of giving more aid to Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion almost two years ago. In December, Senate Republicans blocked a $111bn spending package that included $60bn for Ukraine. </span><span style="text-align: left;">If 41 Senators wish to be on the record blocking aid to Ukraine, let them filibuster. But don’t give them the excuse to block the bill because of irrelevant provisions like border security which should be addressed separately on its own merits.

Enough blood has been shed for no good reason. This government is caught up in its own rhetoric, and is not able to move beyond that. The outcome that eventually the Ukrainians will be left to fend for themselves was long predicted even in these comments, so the handwriting on the wall was never too cryptic. You should negotiate and have good relationshipp with your next door neighbour, especially if it is militarily invincible due to nuclear weapons and is more than three times your size. Integration with that country is your best shot at any success ( this could have been like Canada and US, but corruption of leadership on all sides failed the Ukrainians and the Russians).</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b style="font-size: 14px; text-align: left;"><i>3.

The Spanish American war, a ship was attacked that was supposedly a passenger ship and citizens were attacked. It was later uncovered that it was in fact carrying weapons to our allies and the enemy was just in taking it out. The golf of Tonkin got us into Vietnam and it was a made up battle of a warship being attacked but really wasn't. Then operation Northwoods and Kennedy being pissed at the CIA over the idea of killing roughly 2K Americans in a staged cuban attack. In his speech about, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." He calls out that he wants to root out secret societies, the parties that are manipulating things behind the scenes. He was later assassinated. Even WW2, Americans wanted nothing to do with it. Intel on Japanese discovered plans that they would be attacking Pearl Harbor. The info was relayed and a message regarding the attack was on the president's desk 3 days prior to the attack.</span><span face=""Noto Sans", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1c1c;"><span style="color: black; text-align: justify;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1b1b1b;">And let's be real, not on the same scale, but every year there are disaster all over the world. Some will be more talked about, some not so much and some not at all. I've been noticing since 2020 it feels like we're in the age of the latest disaster where one thing happens, it gets spammed to death and then something else happens and the previous gets put behind, like it's a weird trend of the hottest tragic news. Maybe this has been happening even before '20 and I just noticed it now.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1c1c;">Paradoxically, conspiracy theorists actually have more faith in the government’s competence than those who are not conspiracy minded. But if you want evidence of just how competent they were, look at what happened in Afghanistan and Iraq. Overwhelming force, but complete incompetence and failure. Massive spending, massive loss of life, unintended consequences such as the return of the Taliban and the rise of Isis followed by a Vietnam-style humiliating retreat. These people were not strategic geniuses. And the conspiracy theory version of 9/11 doesn’t actually explain anything, but requires more suspension of disbelief. Your supposed justifications are not really good enough reasons. America doesn’t usually need a reason to do those things anyway.</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;"> </span><b style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">(2)>>I believe any countries are willing to engage Israel over Gaza will happen next year . </b><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="text-align: left;">The BIG DISASTER of 2024 , Joe Biden and his administration owns it .

Further, verses from the Book of Revelation that discuss an apocalyptic war over Israel will usher in Christ’s return and reign over the earth. </span><span style="text-align: left;">For many of these evangelical Christians, the modern founding of Israel was the beginning of this prophecy, which they argue states that Jews must control Jerusalem before a war between the evil empires of “Gog and Magog.” Televangelists such as Hagee have said that various Arab nations, as well as China, Russia, and Iran, correspond to these biblical enemies of Israel, and he believes a war is necessary to fulfill the prophecy. According to this belief, the End Times conclude with faithful Christians raptured to heaven and Christ returning to slay or convert nonbelievers, including Jews, before ruling over the world in a final era of humankind. </span></span><span style="letter-spacing: -0.09px; text-align: left;">Televangelist John Hagee </span><a href="https://prospect.org/features/pastor-strangelove/" rel="nofollow" style="letter-spacing: -0.09px; text-align: left;" target="_blank">launched CUFI</a><span style="letter-spacing: -0.09px; text-align: left;"> in 2006, calling for military action against Iran, then led by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whom Hagee compared to Hitler. At the time, Hagee had been claiming that Iran would soon “have the nuclear capability to make a bomb, a suitcase bomb, a missile head, or anything they want to do with it.” That was untrue, given contemporaneous expert assessments of Iran’s projected nuclear advances. But for Hagee, a more militaristic approach was necessary in order to avert “an American Hiroshima.” He urged his supporters to take a stand, as they were meant to “for a time such as this,” a common evangelical reference to Queen Esther, celebrated on the Jewish holiday of Purim, who saved the Jews from extermination at the hands of Haman, the genocidal adviser to the Persian king.</span></span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The scriptural certainties that draw believers to endtimes prophecy in the first place feed off the spread of violence and mayhem.</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;"><b>(5)>></b></span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><b style="font-family: georgia;">The USA's carrier groups could come under fire from a variety of sources, which would provoke a response.</b><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">I'm not gonna try and make it look like i have any kind of military know-how (i seem to have come to the right place), but I get the impression the US will be looking for excuses to join the conflict.

Rudy was in the middle of the January 6th bull shit. That's why they after him , the accusations of any kind of racism , or attacking verbalizing the two women in question , it's not just Rudy . Rudy was not directly responsible for the harassment these tow women went through . He is just a political scapegoat . According to the evidence , there were multiple individuals involved that actually threatened these two women , they are free as a kite right now .

And his victims, two Black women, are expected to simply take it.</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> First, this was NOT an election fraud case. The judge prejudged that election fraud did not occur. So any claims of fraud committed by named individuals is defamation. Without that defense Rudy had no defense.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Yes, You WILL NOT question the Democrat party.

Trump says the same thing. “You’ll see it soon.” Doesn’t the cult even wonder what they’re waiting for? I mean, if you have evidence why not show it instead of just talking about it?</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">He stood outside the courthouse and said he has proof and he’s going to show us. If there was ever a last chance to show the proof of your innocence, during that trial would have been it. If I was ever accused of not paying for something, I would be pulling that receipt out of my purse so fast. Everyone knows there is no proof Rudy or you would have been waiving it from the rooftops years ago. </span></span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Rudy has issues I'll not deny. I saw him being interviewed on live TV once and his shoe polish hair dye was streaming down the side of his face. Not a good look but I'll take it from a mayor who cleaned up a metropolis like NYC. He still deserves respect.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Rudy's gonna file bankruptcy. Those vote stealers in Georgia aren't going to see a red cent out of it. They'll be lucky if they don't end up having to pay more to their lawyers than they ever collect.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">I don't even know what's true anymore. Both sides making stuff up and twisting facts. I simply don't have the time to research each rabbit hole to determine the truth.

While the evidence of election fraud was not just localized in the precinct where both women operated . There is still a lot of questions. </span><span style="text-align: left;">The plaintiffs say that the website spread misinformation saying that Freeman and Moss conspired to remove poll watchers from the room where they were counting ballots, produced "secret suitcases" filled with illegal ballots and ran those ballots through the vote-counting machines "multiple times." </span></span><b style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">(2)>>Giuliani has that much money.

Knowing what happened is vital to the future of this country.</span></span></span></div><script src="http://blogdirectory.me/strip.php?uid=7784&cat=14" type="text/javascript"></script><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.buzzerhut.com"><img border="0" src="http://www.buzzerhut.com/images/mainlogo_small.gif" width="154" height="42" alt="Promote Your Blog" title="Promote Your Blog For Free" /></a></div>mars309http://www.blogger.com/profile/13593794623683708593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679440018482740658.post-968383214058634822023-12-16T13:41:00.000-08:002023-12-16T14:05:54.146-08:00WHO IS MOST CORRUPT ?

Either way, it's all<br />CONNECTED to a vary precarious 2024 election .</span></b></td></tr></tbody></table><br />WE LIVE in almost a SILLY KINDA of politics in our county . Here is a run down . President Joe Biden , <b> (1)></b>><b>Hunter Biden and Donald J Trump have in common? </b>I was looking at the angle of the "indictments" and "impeachments " going on . First we all know that what been happening with Trump has been a political witch-hunt since 2017. But whatever is going on is a circus .ALL of these indictments are too coincidental. So I muse that , corruption is all over the place . <b>(2)>>The fact that we have have and two impeachments of two Presidents , by both sides of Congress speaks volumes to our governmental problems .</b><span face=""Noto Sans", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Just to avoid the nutbaggery coming from the Hill and gubernatorial offices I'm sinking further into my own bubble-echo chamber which I recognize and hate but I already have enough anxiety of my own without actively seeking it out by attempting to give both sides a fair shake anymore. If it comes out of a "conservatives" mouth I assume it is hateful and nonsensical and shut it down which is a terrible attitude to have in a democracy but at present I don't see a way around it. They won't be happy until the US is in flames because they honestly think being king over a wasteland is better than being ridiculously rich, powerful, and above the law like they are now while also having to accept any thought that doesn't align with theirs exactly. Theocracy or bust.</span><span face=""Noto Sans", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">I’ll go a step further. I will never vote for Hunter Joe Biden for anything…AND I don’t want him in the White House advising his daddy on stuff, or tagging along and going to summits, meeting world leaders etc. </span><span face=""Noto Sans", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">To be clear, Hunter Biden has fucked up. He’s not a fuck up. He has a BA from Georgetown; a JD from Yale. He was counsel at one of the most prestigious law firms in the world. He has been a board member for numerous companies. Compared to the average citizen, he’s a fucking superstar.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span face="Noto Sans, Arial, sans-serif"><span>He has a drug problem. He fudged a gun permit application. He has tax issues. If any of those things are criminal beyond a reasonable doubt, he should be convicted and do time like anyone else. But, this idea that he’s this huge fuck up just isn’t true. The whole expose of Hunter Biden , thankfully has been out of the pile of conspiracy theory thanks to Donald Trump, who was impeached for making that "phone call" to the Ukrainian President who had the bag of good on Biden .</span></span></span><span face=""Noto Sans", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Anyway, to argue that Hunter didn't benefit from his father's success is disingenuous. Of course no one can prove it, but that doesn't mean we can't come to the conclusions that are most likely right. Nor does it mean that Hunter never put in actual effort. I'm sure he did. But having Joe as his father would have certainly helped </span><em class="_7s4syPYtk5hfUIjySXcRE" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">somewhere.</em><span face=""Noto Sans", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">It is all about owning Joe Biden.</span><span face=""Noto Sans", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">If they didn't care about Trump appointing his close family to positions in the White House and selling Cabinet seats to the highest bidder, open signs of corruption, why would they care that Joe Biden</span><span face=""Noto Sans", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"> </span><em class="_7s4syPYtk5hfUIjySXcRE" data-dcy-id="0.24928794945580068" style="border: 0px; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">might</em><span face=""Noto Sans", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"> </span><span face=""Noto Sans", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">have been in some way involved with a deal his son was trying to pull of? The only reasonable answer is that Trump was on "their side" and the Bidens are not.</span><span face=""Noto Sans", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Hunter Biden is not an elected official, he has never expressed any interest in running for a government position and Joe Biden has never expressed any intention of including his children in his considerations when making decisions at any point in his 50 years (?!) serving in Washington. The idea that Joe Biden might leverage his government position to improve his son's business deal is all projection because that is what the Trumps did for 4 years.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span face=""Noto Sans", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span face=""Noto Sans", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><b>NOTES AND COMMENTS:</b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: georgia;">(1)></b><span style="font-family: georgia;">></span><b style="font-family: georgia;">Hunter Biden and Donald J Trump have in common?. </b><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Hunter Biden is not in political office but his father, Joe, is the US President. The impeachment stuff is targeted at the president based on suspicion that the whole family benefited from alleged misconduct by Hunter.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Hunter is involved in a lot of international business, most notably as a board member for BHR Partners in China and Burisma Holdings in Ukraine. An investigation by the House Oversight Committee, led by Republican James Comer, has been going on since January. Comer has explained that he believes the Biden family has been receiving money from non-American sources in exchange for political favors. In other words, the suspected crime is that people may be bribing Hunter to influence Joe.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">The House Oversight Committee has released reports on its findings, showing that Hunter Biden has received money from foreign sources. However, it has not actually demonstrated that a crime occurred or that the payments were for anything other than normal business transactions.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Congressional Republicans have started to go through the early steps associated with an impeachment, the process for formally charging a president with crimes. However, it's unclear how far this process will go given that Democrats control the Senate (which would act as a "jury" in an impeachment hearing) and that the evidence against the president seems particularly strong.</span></span><b style="font-family: georgia;">(2)>>The fact that we have have and two impeachments of two Presidents , by both sides of Congress speaks volumes to our governmental problems .</b><span style="font-family: georgia;">It's ONLY FAIR that the Republican's look into impeaching Joe Biden . Think , about the constant prosecution of Donald Trump over the last "decade" , yep it almost been this long .<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">I struggle with understanding bc there's whataboutism (Hunter Biden stuff), some hints of how the democrats own the judicial system (if someone could expand on that too that would be appreciated), and how Americans preferred life under Trump. A Trump corruption charge led right to a Biden corruption charge . Yet , these indictments are exposing our government failures as what is being done in Congress as a priority to the American people .</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">All I’ve been seeing/hearing is that it’s a “witch hunt” and “Hunter”.

California's current budget tops $300 billion, the largest by far of any state. How it happened ? It was gross negligence on the part of Gov. Newsom . Way back , January 2023 , Newsom prepared a budget knowing fully that California was 20 billion in the hole . He did not authorized , or prioritize any deficit reductions , instead he increased spending by another 200 billion dollars , with less tax revenues coming in.</span></span><span><b> </b></span><span style="background-color: white;">Actually, California politicians do grasp volatility. That was demonstrated 11 months ago when Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed a 2023-24 budget that addressed what he said was a $22.5 billion deficit just eight months after he had boasted of a $97.5 billion surplus.</span><span style="background-color: white;">“No other state in American history has ever experienced a surplus as large as this,” Newsom had bragged in May 2022, thus encouraging his fellow Democrats in the Legislature to sharply increase spending.</span><span><b> </b></span><span style="background-color: white;">It was a problem first noted by San Francisco’s budget office but nobody really took notice. Well tbf Gov Newsome warned about it last year or so, so it wasn’t unexpected.</span><span style="background-color: white;">California has a highly progressive tax structure that is also highly volatile.

And Californians are now looking for a governor who can fix these policy failures. </span></span><b style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">(3)>>Again and Again , California faces a budget crisis . </b><span style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">California has a really bad record about balancing budgets . AS far as YOU can go back to 2003 , when the state had a deficit under then Gov. Gray Davis it was just peanuts if you compare with today's wreak of a state . Mind you , the state was in the hole for decades .<span style="background-color: white;">Newsom’s economic analysts are not projecting a recession in the near future, but</span><span data-dcy-id="0.5289209990093244" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;">they noted the potential for one based on inflation and rising interest rates. </span><span style="background-color: white;">With the state facing a significant budget deficit, federal COVID funding to schools set to dry up in 2024, and the need to help students make up for learning losses suffered during the pandemic, California’s schools and policymakers have their work cut out for them. California has been really broke , it's a high tax state that has been putting money into a its educational system more than it's infrastructure .</span><span style="background-color: white;">A </span><a data-dcy-id="0.3090437381818858" href="http://californiapolicycenter.org/calculating-californias-total-state-and-local-government-debt/" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: none;">study by the California Policy Center</a><span style="background-color: white;"> in 2013 found that conservative estimates of total government debt — including city, county, and public school district debt — totaled nearly $850 billion.

Newsom should just "resign" . </b><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="text-align: left;">With the growing evidence of fiscal neglect , starting January 2023 the state under Newsom did not do any budget accommodations to a growing deficit except spotty shuffling of revenues that did not eliminate the already grown deficit from the "previous" 2 years. While we been told that the state had a surplus of 97 billion $$$ , that maybe not exactly truthful . The question of the state reserves can't explain the budget shortfalls of the last two years when revenues were dropping . In MAY we had a growing deficit 32 billion dollars , his revise did not call for cross the board cuts , instead he went ahead with a huge spending plan , was warned by the LAO about a potential economic disaster .</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">In 2022, the stock market declined, which meant far less revenue from capital gains. This is how we went from a $75B surplus in 2021 to a $32B deficit in 2022.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Note that this 'deficit' will have impact on local services like parks, police, fire, schools, roads, etc. This will only have a noticeable impact on state level services, like CSU/UC schools, state parks, high-speed rail, etc. Again , Newsom's office was vary aware of the impending doom , remember to flew to China while a deficit was just piling up .</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Never leave money on the table. As someone with the state, you need to ensure you can utilize the funding. Otherwise you will get less funding in the next fiscal year.</span></span><span style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left;"> </span><b style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">(4)></b><span style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">></span><b style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">Education increased making up half the state budget.</b><span style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left;"> </span><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">California spent about $128 billion on K–12 public education this fiscal year. This amount exceeds the entire budget of all states except New York and Texas and is roughly equal to the combined state budgets of Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Tennessee. The population of these states together is nearly 33 million, compared to California’s 39.2 million population. It's half of the entire state budget . In my line of thinking it's a catastrophic way set to the California education system into a trip wire bomb fiasco . Once the state is in a financial fiasco , it puts K-12 funding always at the chopping block first . It's not entirely saying that education is underfunded in the state , but there are huge wage discrepancies how teachers are paid and verses the high cost of living in the state . These huge expenditures have stalled major California infrastructure plans for decades .It's not how students are educated , but it's how the state government has allocated half of its it's budget to schools .</span></span><b style="font-family: georgia;">(5)>>Nothing in the California budget adds UP ? </b><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Consider what Newsom and his partners in crime in the legislature did last year knowing that the state’s financial roller coaster would eventually start its predictable plunge.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Trying to explain California’s $68 billion deficit versus Florida’s $22 billion surplus could have prompted Newsom to embark on political contortions that could have thrown his back out.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">The announcement California is staring down a record $68 billion deficit comes just 18 months after Gov. Gavin Newsom bragged the Golden State was sitting on a $97.5 billion surplus.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">A year after his surplus boasting, Newsom presented a 2023-24 budget that dealt with a projected $31.5 billion deficit. Since its passage in June, revenues have continued to fall below estimates, which means a continuing gap between income and outgo. Now </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">the Golden State is now staring at a $68 billion shortfall because the gusher of tax revenue from soaking the rich has dried up.</span><span style="text-align: left;">In plain English: Poof.

WE as American citizens have been played for decades , and decades . With all kinds of Propaganda that been basically to rally citizens for foreign conflicts . With these conflicts huge spending bills are demanded by the US President and most of Congress of the both uni-parties follow . Now , the Narratives is starting to unravel . More and More Americans are looking at the Economy , their standards of living going down , the crumbling infrastructure , the open borders and spikes in crime nationwide .

more unnecessary spending . </span><span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"> If you look at recently announced Ukraine aid packages by various
NATO members + Biden wanting to push through a massive funding package
for Ukraine, there is no sign of material and financial support abating.

<span style="background-color: white;">That’s fair, and I can’t speak for all Americans, but a lot of folks here
in the US have little trust in our media to do anything other than toe the
line that is given to </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia;">them. I've heard a lot of folks talking about the ongoing genocide and
I think this is the first time<b> (2)>>I’ve ever really heard people vocally questioning the

NOW </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia;">obviously there is a very loud group of Americans , but a lot of folks
don’t want our government to be sending more bombs so that Israel can

and for most of this time, the wars were an afterthought at best, and
actively unpopular at worst. The US government at least has proven itself
to be willing, and able, to shovel absolutely massive quantities of cash
at military endeavors regardless of popular support.</span></span></div>

behind Israel have faltered.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">It's imaginable. <b>(4)>>YES RUSSIA IS WINNING !!!</b> The more Israel
obliterates Gaza, the more likely it is for Hezbollah in Lebanon to get into
an all-out war with Israel. <b>(4.1)>>Meanwhile Israel is also trying to use this as
an excuse to finally attack Iran. </b></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">I'm not making any predictions, as I have no idea how likely these
possibilities are. But the potential is there.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">From funding and the direct involvement of US intelligence and deployment
of military assets, to causing political distraction and social unrest in
Europe, the timing and scale of this conflict is quite beneficial to Russia. <b>(5)></b>><b>Russia has everything to gain and nothing to lose from an escalating
conflict in the middle east. </b></span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Like in a crime novel, one needs to look at motive to see who was behind
the attack on Israel.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">"How come Israel's intelligence services weren't prepared for this
attack?"...because it was planned in Iran with the support of
Russia.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Hamas and are the sacrificial pawns used by Iran to do Russia's bidding.
Maybe Russia promised Iran help to create nuclear weapons in exchange for
their direct and indirect help with the war in Ukraine. </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">lol, Ukraine is fighting the biggest enemy we have and have
historically had for the proxy war cost of dead Ukrainians . </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">We are immensely involved and since Ukraine is fighting it, we just have
to send weapons instead of people.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">The people who think we aren't involved here are insane. Even if you are
extremely obtuse, we fought in Iraq over oil, why would we not do the same
with Russia? We will be paying 8 bucks or more a gallon come winter all
because of Russia. We should be supporting Ukraine more in the hopes that
Russia can be forced to retreat and give up. </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Other countries are falling apart over gas prices and wheat prices. The

<span style="font-family: georgia;"><b><i>Support for Israel fading .</i></b></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="text-align: left;">Now, the brutal Hamas attack on Israel and the even more brutal reprisals
by the Israelis have once again exposed that Western attachment to its own
rules is, at best, situational.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Every Ramadan, it seems the Israelis have had a big circle around Masjid
Al-Aqsa, to put it </span><a data-dcy-id="0.0753735707674954" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5QrbD9tJnw" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: left; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s;">the way Dr Yvonne Ridley put it</a><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"> in a recent discussion. Islam’s third-holiest site becomes the
target of an apartheid state that has consistently gripped control of the
narrative.<b> (6)>>But that control is slowly slipping from their hands as the
world begins to see what is actually going on in Palestine.</b></span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Through the shaky lenses of worshippers who came under attack by police
armed to the teeth in the dead of night earlier this week, the world
watched in horror (or simply ignored) as Israeli forces demeaned the
sanctity of a religious site. Sparks flew, gas filled the rooms and the
elderly crouched and cried.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Israeli forces had stormed the mosque in Ramadan, fired stun grenades and
beat civilians with batons. They then dragged them off to detention for no
crime other than worship. </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Israel’s frequent attacks on worshippers – termed ‘clashes’ by western
media – often provoke a swell of support from Palestinians in other parts
of the fragmented nation. Quickly,<b> (7)>>Israeli propagandists tell the world a
story of terrorism. </b>This conveniently hides the brute force routinely
meted out to ordinary Palestinians who want no more than the right of
statehood in their own land, the land of their forefathers and the only
place they’ve ever called home.</span></span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">In past Israeli campaigns into Gaza, such as 2012 and 2014, initial support for the Israeli operation faded as sympathies increasingly turned toward the Palestinians who were suffering high civilian casualties in the densely populated landscape. This was buttressed by the Hamas media wing, which effectively used images and video of the conflict, and the resultant suffering, to change international opinion.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Perceptions of civilian casualties in Gaza are, in strategic military parlance, the center of gravity for the conflict. High civilian casualties will dissipate Israel's international support and risk limiting the destruction they can rain on Hamas. Each side knows this and will attempt to shape perceptions, in some cases through any means necessary, and false information will play a key role.</span><span style="text-align: left;">he <b>(8)></b>><b>U.S. public is movable, though not exactly in the way they thought. </b>Polling over the past few years indicates that U.S. support for Israel is on a steady decline</span></span><span style="font-family: tiempos, georgia, serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: left;">.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left;"><i>Neither Ukraine nor Israel needs our Taxpayer Money.</i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #990000;">While we were distracted with Ukraine for two years ...</span></b><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: 16px;">US national security advisor Jake Sullivan </span><a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2023/10/israel-war-middle-east-jake-sullivan/675580/" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: 16px; pointer-events: auto; text-decoration-line: none;">proclaimed</a><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Merriweather;"> that “the Middle East region is quieter today than it has been in two decades”. But once the hostilities flared up, it became clear that this was not just another spark of the protracted low-intensity conflict which the US government found it's self squabbling for dollars . For MY SELF I BLAME the US government for the both conflicts , the Ukraine Proxy , and now the US led Israeli - Hamas Proxy .<b> (9)>>Again dishing out BILLIONS of DOLLARS and Weapons .</b> Can We as American people afford these conflicts ?</span><span style="font-family: georgia;"> When the National interest should be for Peace on both conflicts . </span></span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Trying to take the temperature here , or better yet hoping to get some insight from others. As the Hamas strike on Israel escalates into retaliation into Gaza and the U.S. is sending aircraft carriers into the Mediterranean (in support of Israel? In the hopes of de-escalation by mere presence ? In full anticipation that this middle Eastern flashpoint is certain to spark broader conflicts and polarization throughout the region) I am left wondering if this will be framed as a “Proxy war” (with popular interpretations as “therefore illegitimate”).

By distancing the US from Israel, by validating the critics of Israel who justify violence against it while simultaneously failing to deter Tehran, Biden and his team are encouraging Iran, Hezbollah and the Houthis to attack harder. Dumb.</span><b style="text-align: left;"> </b><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Israeli newspapers broke the news that their government was considering a plan to take out Iranian nuclear facilities.While at the same fighting Hamas in Gaza . Since then, recriminations about who leaked the plans and to what end have been splashed across the region’s dailies. The Iranians, for their part, have responded defiantly to the possibility of such an attack. And yet — revealing the ambivalence of regional attitudes toward Iran — few governments, if any, have condemned the plan outright.Israel wants to draw the US into a conflict with Iran .</span><span style="text-align: left;">To speak of an imminent and undisguised IDF strike deep inside Iranian territory is to overlook a long-established norm that has for decades governed U.S.-Israel relations: Israel cannot simply ignore the wishes and concerns of its chief patron, especially when core U.S. foreign policy priorities are at stake.</span></span><b style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">(5)></b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">></span><b style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">Russia has everything to gain and nothing to lose from an escalating conflict in the middle east. </b><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">The counteroffensive failed. There's no denying that. The Ukrainians are only taking back a few square meters a day, and morale is getting lower and lower. The Russians keep attacking critical Ukrainian infrastructure. This is quickly turning into a war of attrition, which favors Russia since Putin has more men to throw into the meat grinder than Zelenskyy. Additionally, Ukraine has mobilized; Russia has not. Russia is not fighting at its full potential, whereas Ukraine is fighting as hard as they can reasonably be expected to. The only way I see Ukraine winning the war is if Russia withdraws, which I think is highly unlikely; if it were going to happen, it would have happened already.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">The only thing that could change this is if NATO directly intervenes, which won't happen, and it arguably</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"> </span><em class="_7s4syPYtk5hfUIjySXcRE" style="border: 0px; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">shouldn't</em><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">happen since it risks nuclear war. Additionally, Ukraine has a limited time frame to make this happen, for one main reason: Donald Trump.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">The 2024 US presidential election looms large over this war. Trump often lies, but he isn't lying when he says he'd end the war in 24 hours.

I believe that if Trump wins a second term, and the war is still ongoing, he will pull the US out of NATO and/or stop arming Ukraine. Other European countries might keep supporting Ukraine, but if the US pulls out of the war (or starts supporting Russia), it will become fairly easy for Russia to turn the tide in this war. Even if Trump doesn't win in 2024, it's likely that a Republican (maybe even Trump again) will win in 2028 due to the way US politics swing back and forth, and then Ukraine loses. And, for reasons outlined above, I don't see Russia withdrawing willingly. The Israel -Hamas conflict shifted attention away for Ukraine , pretty much putting the US CONGRESS into funding conflicts . It's A GOOD think that this , sorry to say OCT 7th Hamas attack pretty much was what Russia needed.</span></span><b style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">(6)>>But that control is slowly slipping from their hands as the world begins to see what is actually going on in Palestine.</b><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="text-align: left;">The comprehensive report</span><em style="box-sizing: inherit; text-align: left;">, <u style="box-sizing: inherit;"><a href="https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/mde15/5141/2022/en/" style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700; text-decoration-skip-ink: auto; transition: color 0.3s ease-in-out 0s;">Israel’s Apartheid against Palestinians: Cruel System of Domination and Crime against Humanity</a></u></em><span style="text-align: left;">, sets out how massive seizures of Palestinian land and property, unlawful killings, forcible transfer, drastic movement restrictions, and the denial of nationality and citizenship to Palestinians are all components of a system which amounts to apartheid under international law. This system is maintained by violations which Amnesty International found to constitute apartheid as a crime against humanity, as defined in the Rome Statute and Apartheid Convention.</span><span style="text-align: left;">Denouncing the systematic crimes and aggression committed by the occupying authority Israel against the Palestinian people, the Kuwaiti representative stressed that such hostility inflames Muslims around the world, undermines regional stability and fuels hatred and violence. He urged the Security Council to hold the Israeli occupation forces responsible, noting that Israelis need to stop acting as if the rights of the Palestinian people are not covered by international law.</span></span><b style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">(7)>>Israeli propagandists tell the world a story of terrorism. </b><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: #fafafa; text-align: left;">It should be pointed out that this failed propaganda does not prevent Israel from slaughtering hundreds of innocent Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank daily. And that most European countries and the US are in sync with the Israeli narrative. In other words, it can be said that for many important decision-makers, Israel’s propaganda has been successful.</span><span style="background-color: #fafafa; text-align: left;">The failure to endorse the Israeli version of versions is due primarily to its irremediable contradiction of the truth. For three weeks now, Israel’s hasbara — propaganda — has been mired with clear fallacies and paradoxes. For example, the World Health Organisation (WHO) rebuffed Israel’s claim that it had ordered the evacuation of Al-Ahli Hospital before it was bombed. The WHO </span><a href="https://www.who.int/news/item/14-10-2023-evacuation-orders-by-israel-to-hospitals-in-northern-gaza-are-a-death-sentence-for-the-sick-and-injured" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; pointer-events: auto; text-align: left; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">described</a><span style="background-color: #fafafa; text-align: left;"> the Israeli demand to evacuate hospitals as a “death sentence for the sick and injured.” At the same time, Human Rights Watch </span><a href="https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/10/12/israel-white-phosphorus-used-gaza-lebanon" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; pointer-events: auto; text-align: left; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">reported</a><span style="background-color: #fafafa; text-align: left;"> that Israel used white phosphorus bombs against Palestinian hospitals.

It is a war crime similar to those committed by the US during the Vietnam war, when America’s government lied about the threats it faced in order to justify its conduct, including carpet-bombing the Southeast Asian country.</span><span style="text-align: left;">The fact we are less than a year away from presidential and congressional elections has increased the volume of the anti-Arab lies from candidates who hope to win the support of brainwashed American voters.

Making peace with an enemy is almost the same thing as defeating them - it takes adversaries off the board.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Just because they don't have the same amount of technology, money or arms to provide Ukraine doesn't mean they stand with Russia. Many nations are simply too poor to help in any substantial way. </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Both sides have committed horrible atrocities.

And now here we are.<b> </b></span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Western diplomats have expressed fears that their governments' rhetoric in support of Israel's bombing campaign in Gaza in the aftermath of the Hamas terrorist attack risks alienating the Global South. The developing world has pointed out how Western support for Ukraine contrasts starkly with the lack of concern for Palestinians suffering under Israeli bombs, which may result in a realignment on Ukraine by African, Middle Eastern, and Asian countries.</span></span></div><div><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></span></div>

Factors like high cost of living, lack of affordable housing, income inequality etc are contributing to issues like migration and homelessness. These are things libs should care about and that Newsom should have been able to address in the debate. I didn’t hear him give the explanation you did for gas prices either. I think you’re probably correct: gas in CA is more expensive and is taxed at a higher rate both to incentivize shifts to EVs and to generate revenue for the govt to provide social safety nets.

WE ALL KNOW CALIFORNIA is a SCREWED UP MESS Newsom had no skin in the game. He could not even defend his policies in California . Why would a presidential wannabe debate a governor not even running for president?</span><span style="font-family: georgia;"> Newsom is playing some game in the center stage of American politics , perhaps he is a big distraction. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">His cartoonishly creepy “smile” when Newsom is talking is enough to turn off most voters.</span><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span><script src="http://blogdirectory.me/strip.php?uid=7784&cat=14" type="text/javascript"></script><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia;">My biggest take from this was:</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia;">Newsom was prepared and held his own well even with Hannity jumping in and making it a 2v1. He had facts off his mind ready and even with some of his non-answers, he made sure to tell America why DeSantis sucks.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia;">DeSantis looked and sounded nervous all night and outside of his map and pocket porn, had nothing factual to add (even though those 2 things are subjective) until Hannity put up some graphics and they teamed on Newsom. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">So that's sort of an interesting phenomenon. When DeSenatis announced his run for president, it lead to a sort of schism in the trump movement. Primarily by those who thought DeSantis would be a good VP.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">But ever since their fights started, it's actually lead to an overall decrease in the dumbfuck bridges flags. Because those who thought they could run together are split, and those who support DeSantis generally don't support trump now.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">I won't pretend that it's going to change their overall voting behavior. Because it won't. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">But at least for many of us here, it's a marked decrease vocal dumbfuckery.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">This debate is so odd.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">Conservative subs say Desantis did great, liberal subs say Newsom won easily. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">I watched it and thought both performed rather poorly and looked like actors pretending to be politicians. it was all so weird to me and Im not sure how anyone came out on top besides maybe Fox. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">Newsom appeared to dodge on things like gas price and migration out of CA.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">Because he’s not running for president. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">The migration thing isn’t a thing. Gas price is what it is. California gas prices are typical of Europe gas prices because that’s what is needed to pay for everything that California offers. Neither is a debate point.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">Each side always think they dominated. Depending on the lean of the source they’ll report how ____ <b>(3)></b>><b>DOMINATED their opponent.</b> These debates aren’t swaying anyone over anything, especially with two people who are fighting for a VP spot at best.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">Democrats see Republican voters as misinformed. Republicans see Democratic voters as evil. Newsom would hurt his image by attacking Republican voters, while DeSantis would probably be cheered in for attacking Democratic voters.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">At some point coverage from the debate of him dunking on Ron will die down. At some point Ron will lose or drop out the election. Then what? The fact that the press isn’t that interested in California is still waiting for Newsom. The term east coast bias exist for a reason. I get the feeling that the press is letting him fill the void until the press find their guy. After the 2024 election the press will make clear who they want to be in the 2028 race. The coverage they give the said person or people isn’t going to be limited to giving his or her or their opinion of another state. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">DeSantis should never have tried running for President, it exposed just how much of a wet blanket the guy is on a national level. And Newsom is a SLY grease ball .</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><b>NOTES AND COMMENTS :</b></span></span><span style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: medium;"><b style="font-size: medium; text-align: justify;">(1)>>I will not vote for DeSantis or Newsom .</b><span style="font-size: medium; text-align: justify;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;">Its pretty obvious what Newsom was doing here, he was torpedoing DeSantis' political career. He didn't give a damn what Fox News people think about California, he was constantly bringing up DeSantis' contradictions with Trump's policies and how other Republicans called him out. He's making sure that DeSantis' dying political campaign stays dead. He set the tone right from the start when he said "one thing we both have in common, neither of us will be a nominee for president".</span><span style="background-color: white;">In 3 months from now or less, DeSantis will be dropped out of the Republican primary. Newsom gets to claim some credit for aiding in the DeSantis campaign demise, and the cachet within the Democratic party for being a Biden team player, to utilize in the future either for his own national run or an influential voice in the party in deciding who should be elevated and backed.</span><span style="background-color: white;">It was hard to tell if Newsom was debating desantis or hannity, it was probably both. The framing of these questions were clearly partisan, they wouldn't touch topics like home insurance or how in Florida they're approving prager U material for classrooms. The charts that hannity was showing were an easy Google for totally different data than was shown. This was an attempt at a 2 hour long gotcha and Newsom managed to navigate it. People who know the facts know that this was partisan hackery, those who didn't were regular fox news viewers. Honestly though... someone needs to do a full fact check run down of this debate, i think it would be enlightening.</span></span><b style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">(2)>></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I discussed the debate with initially tried to defend Desantis, but eventually said he sucks.</span></span></b><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="text-align: left;"> DeSantis got his reputation as a "culture warrior" , and " anti-woke" Governor . The REALITY he has done good things are far as fighting for the rights of parents against public schools indoctrinating children . But otherwise he just as extreme in his views as Newsom is also extreme on his leftist views . Newsom is also a culture warrior for the left , both of them have been feuding over political issues dominating each of their states . Both DeSantis and Newsom are self serving .</span><span style="text-align: left;">This event was billed as an epic forum to contrast ideas and opposing models for governance, what Fox News titled: "The Great Red State vs. Blue State Debate.” Of course, that was hardly the case. The televised slugfest was predictably low on substance and high on vitriol.</span><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.6px;">DeSantis defended his record on banning books and discussion about sexual orientation and gender identity in schools. He pulled out a page from the graphic novel “Gender Queer,” which showed sexually explicit, partially blacked-out images, claiming the books were in schools in California. Interesting enough , both Florida and California have banned books for whatever reason , for the same reason .</span></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">DeSantis did telling the truth. Hannity tried too much to be an extra cook in the kitchen with DeSantis. This was unnecessary especially given the fact graphs provided by Fox from mainstream sources. Hannity, instead of being a “hall monitor”, complained about having to be one. I’m sorry, but this is Ron DeSantis debating Gavin Newsom. There has to be a hall monitor.</span></span><b style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">(3)></b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">></span><b style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">DOMINATED their opponent.</b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;"> </span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">In an alternate reality, the prime-time showdown between California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom and Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday could have been a preview of a 2024 general election debate.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Instead, it was a hard-to-explain 90-minute clash that pitted one struggling Republican presidential hopeful against a Democratic rival who may or may not seek the presidency in four years.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">“This is a slick, slippery politician whose state is failing,” DeSantis said of Newsom.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">“How’s that going for you, Ron? You’re down 41 points in your own home state,” said Newsom, who is backing Biden for president. “Neither of us will be the nominee for a party in 2024.”</span></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.buzzerhut.com"><img border="0" src="http://www.buzzerhut.com/images/mainlogo_small.gif" width="154" height="42" alt="Promote Your Blog" title="Promote Your Blog For Free" /></a></div>mars309http://www.blogger.com/profile/13593794623683708593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679440018482740658.post-80699737545806807102023-11-28T14:55:00.000-08:002023-12-02T14:19:55.743-08:00COVID -20 IS NOW HERE !?

The emerging illness is identified as a respiratory virus, predominantly affecting pediatric patients, leading to cases of pneumonia. Health officials have stressed that this is not a typical flu or pneumonia but rather a “new virus,” echoing the urgency felt during the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak. <span style="text-align: left;">A surge of infections was expected in the country this winter, China’s first without COVID-19 restrictions since the pandemic began in 2020. What is unusual, say epidemiologists, is the high prevalence of pneumonia in China. When COVID-19 restrictions were eased in other countries, influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) mostly drove spikes in illness.</span> <span style="text-align: left;">n a 23 November</span><span style="text-align: left;"> </span><a data-label="https://www.who.int/emergencies/disease-outbreak-news/item/2023-DON494" data-track-category="body text link" data-track="click" href="https://www.who.int/emergencies/disease-outbreak-news/item/2023-DON494" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-align: left; text-decoration-skip-ink: auto; text-decoration-thickness: 0.0625rem; text-underline-offset: 0.08em; vertical-align: baseline; word-break: break-word;">statement</a><span style="text-align: left;">, the WHO said that China’s health authorities have attributed the rise in hospitalizations since October to known pathogens, such as adenoviruses, influenza virus, and RSV, which tends to cause only mild, cold-like symptoms. However, an increase in children being admitted to hospital since May, particularly in northern cities such as Beijing, is mainly due to</span><span style="text-align: left;"> <b>(3)></b>></span><i data-dcy-id="0.2806017574822526" style="box-sizing: inherit; text-align: left;"><b>Mycoplasma pneumoniae</b></i><span style="text-align: left;"><b>, a bacterium that infects the lungs. </b>It is a common cause of ‘walking pneumonia’, a form of the disease that is usually relatively mild and doesn’t require bed rest or hospitalization, but that is hitting children hard this year. </span><span style="text-align: left;">There will of course be a huge number of variants that will pop up in the coming months that will have originated from this outbreak. I think after almost 3 years people are just tired of inadequate and insufficient responses from governments across the world and are looking for someone to take it out on. China is just an easy target given the virus originated there and now this.</span><span style="text-align: left;">So in my opinion the WHO deliberately called for more information publicly to instill fear of lockdowns again. <b>(4)>>If China decides to perform lockdowns the U.S. will follow. </b>This time it will be a more forceful approach. Look up Rule 2.13 for Isolation and Quarantine. The New York Court of Appeals should be surrounded with protesters but nobody shows this on the news. People will either rise up, die, or become slaves.</span> <span style="background-color: transparent; text-align: left;">And now China, the same country who gave us the first strain, not only decided to end Zero Covid, but they have decided to allow their people to travel internationally again. Here comes super NEW mutant coronavirus strain now with more sickness and faster easier death to take us all back to the days of 2020.</span><span style="text-align: left;">All the top American scientists agree that every four years like clockwork a virus starts off slow and then suddenly bursts on the scene messing up everyone's lives and then almost overnight it disappears.

In February 2002, a group of 60 US public intellectuals wrote a letter making a moral case for the “war on terror”. It began by asserting a series of “fundamental truths that pertain to all people without distinction” of which the first simply stated: “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.”</span><span style="background-color: #fafafa; letter-spacing: -0.165px; text-align: start;">As the New York Times reported, Bin Laden’s letter, published a year after 9/11, defended the attacks in New York and Washington and said Americans had become “servants” to Jews, who he said controlled the country’s economy and media.</span><span style="background-color: #fafafa; letter-spacing: -0.165px; text-align: start;">Some TikTok users said last week that they viewed the document as an awakening to America’s role in global affairs and expressed their disappointment in the United States.</span><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8); text-align: start;">Personally <b>(6)></b>><i><b>I don't.

Both sides need to communicate. Until then, there will be no chance for either side to empathize/sympathize with one another and foster an altruistic relationship. Of course, when you involve something as visceral and impenetrable as religion/dogma, all those options instantly go out the window.</span><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8); text-align: start;">On a separate note, this letter reminds me of the Unabomber's Manifesto.

With the help of the CIA and the U.S. Armed Forces intelligence services he began to organize in the early 1980s and network to raise money and to recruit fighters for the Afghan mujahidins that were fighting the Soviets. He did this from the city of Peshawar in Pakistan, bordering Afghanistan.</span><span>Part of these activities were financed with the production and sale of morphine, the base of heroin. This was the beginning of today Al Qaida (the base) network led by Bin Laden. Indeed the chickens are coming home to roost for the CIA and U.S. bosses.</span><span>"In all, the United States funneled more than $ 2 billion in guns and money to the mujaheddin during the 1980s, according to U.S. officials. It was the largest covert action program since World War II.</span><span>Back then the US and Europe were fighting proxy wars against the USSR. We wanted to prevent them from extending their influence too far across the world. The overall idea was preventing the spread of communism. The Korean war, Vietnam war, and Afghanistan war are all proxy wars. We armed and trained Osama Bin Laden because we needed him and his forces to fight back against the Russians in Afghanistan.</span><span>In the early 70s a pro Russian government gained power in Afghanistan, at which point the US started funding insurgent groups and basically started a proxy war that way. Russia was pulled in by the government to help fight against these foreign sponsored groups.</span><span>Basically a classical proxy war with the US acting once again as the aggressor from all I can tell.</span><span> "</span><span>Bin Ladens group was trained and financed by CIA through Pakistani Intelligence. He used the money to recruit and train fighters for the war against the Soviets. This meant establishing operational bases across Afghanistan.

The far-right will rant that new terrorist support will be generated, but I found listening to some of Bin Laden's interviews fascinating. Did I agree with all of his view points? Hardly - but he clearly wasn't a crazy, frothing madman. I could see how his views and writings could garner support in a region with a history of colonialism and occupation. That's what made him so dangerous. And in this age of social media trying to censor the content may actually increase interest. So let people see the truth, and they decide for themselves whether is it good or evil.</span></span><b style="color: #1c1c1c; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">(3)>>People are shocked that what he said is really relevant to the current situation in Gaza and they are taking that in how they will. </b><span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;"><span>In the letter, Bin Laden justifies al-Qaeda's terror attacks, alleging that US support for Israel and repression of Muslims around the world allow violence.

There have been numerous protests in support of both Israel and the Palestinians throughout the country. Most recently, tens of thousands gathered in Washington for the March for Israel on Wednesday, following mass rallies in support of the Palestinians in October. </span></span><b style="color: #1c1c1c; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">(4)>>America teaches that this guy was just a story-book evil person that wanted to murder americans for no reason. </b><span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-family: georgia;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span face=""Noto Sans", Arial, sans-serif">Yeah, Bush made a series of spectacularly bad decisions (egged on by Cheney and his neocon droogs), and that's why we're still going to be fighting the Glorious War on Terrorism for years to come.

The paralysis usually stems from disagreements between the two parties, and is exacerbated by the unusual construction of the US Congress, which makes it possible for one party to control the House while the other controls (or at least exercises veto power) in the Senate. A secondary (and arguably related) problem people are sometimes referring to is the perception that the personal relationships between members of the two parties are angrier than they've been in the past.</span><span style="text-align: left;">Congress and the White House seem incapable of working together on anything, even when their interests align. With lawmaking at a standstill, the president’s use of executive orders and regulatory discretion has reached a level that Congress views as dictatorial—not that Congress can do anything about it, except file lawsuits that the divided Supreme Court, its three vacancies unfilled, has been unable to resolve.</span><span style="text-align: left;">The House burned through two more speakers and one “acting” speaker, a job invented following four speakerless months.

Additionally, there was the idea that citizens owed allegiance to the nation and had to sacrifice (voluntarily) for its good to protect everyone's liberty. Even when these ideals weren't upheld, the principles were still there, and gradually many great improvements have resulted. But even with all the good things that have happened in the past decades, I'm worried those attitudes are no longer generally held.</span><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8); text-align: left;">Politics are wild to anyone when it's not the country they are used to.

It is currently headed by a radical right Likkud member, Gila Gamliel.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Likkud has been ruled by Netanyahu with an iron fist, but recently with his legal and political troubles members have been smelling blood.

After the smoke clears, after Netanyahu is gone, she will be using having signed off on this to improve her position with the radical right. This could translate into a prime position in a post Netanyahu faction within Likkud or jumping ship to leadership of another party.

They do say that to criticise Israel is valid but it also heavily implies that it’s also antisemitic to do so when it really is not. I’m the daughter of a holocaust survivor, my Dad saw atrocities no human should ever and now humans are suffering at the hands of Jewish people all in the name of a Jewish state. It’s literal madness. Israel absolutely does not represent Jews, it’s mostly Orthodox Jews who actually recognise this and tend to be the biggest critics of Zionism within the Jewish community. Also Zionists constantly get into bed with antisemitics. The only reason they got Israel in the first place is because Europe and the US didn’t want to deal with all the displaced Jews after WW2 and so to make it easy they just gave away land that shouldn’t haven’t been theirs in the first place really. I wish more Jewish global authorities would stand up and criticise the warmongering of pro Zionist groups.

If we condemn the way of utilitarian is wrong for since happiness is not the goal or principle but what that action could affect to us and to the other whether we our morally right or wrong we should not look utilitarianism as a way. An example would be a person who is stealing in the supermarket for food to feed his family, if we look in other aspects his actions is wrong since he stole foods from the supermarket and the an employee could be blame on the persons action but if we look in utilitarian, the person is morally right since that food will be given to die family to eat.

This timing meant that, post-1967, evangelical understandings of Israel became preoccupied with its sovereignty over the covenanted land. In the wake of that war, which saw Israel take control of the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem, Jews themselves were undecided on Israel’s significance. The trend, more obvious and expected in Israel, was to emphasise the centrality of land to Jewish identity. The entirety of Judaism could be distilled, in the words of the Israeli official Yona Malachy, to ‘the tripartite union of religion-people-land’. ‘The recognition of the tie between the Jewish people and their country must become the central theme of any future dialogue between Christianity and Jewry,’ he warned in 1969.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> </span><span style="text-align: left;">Unless, of course, you believe that bloodshed in Israel will pave the way for the Second Coming of Christ.

Russia being the common denominators. </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Russia doesn't see Hamas as terrorists. Like, if you disagree with the war and ask for peace in Russia - you're terrorists. If you are Hamas - you're not.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">I don't know how to explain, but they arrested a woman who was protesting against Hamas. Because if you're against Hamas - you support terrorists.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">I mean... Israel does effectively occupy the West Bank. Yes, Sharon pulled essentially everything out of Gaza 18 years ago, but a similar move was not made in the West Bank. While Fatah is nominally in charge, there is still plenty of settler activity there that is strictly illegal under Israeli law; that's one of the reasons why Netanyahu was so gung-ho about trashing and subverting the court system. And there is still plenty of land there that is directly or indirectly controlled by the IDF.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Given how careful Israel was to avoid antagonizing Russia over Ukraine, it's interesting to see Russia now stabbing Israel in the back.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">A lesson to every other state that tries to play nice with Russia. Russia will stab you in the back as soon as it is in their favour.</span></span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8); text-align: left;"><b>(10)></b>><b>BUT the real AXIS of EVIL is close to home. </b></span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; text-align: left;"><b>SHAME on the United States of America! </b></span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Ok, so first point is what an "Axis of Evil" is.

Trust me, Newsom is like nuclear waste</b>. </span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;">Californians often have no idea how astronomically hard they get raked over the coals when it comes to anything. </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;">The state itself is //broke// and desperate for money! Bleeding money. Expect to be audited every single year, as they scrounge for money. The tax rate the more money you make, is ridiculous. We got nailed //regularly// for about 35-30 percent taken off our bonuses and end of year and we were the middle to upper middle of "middle class"</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;">I don't have to go to the Ukraine to know there is a war going on there. There are copious videos and articles online concerning the demise of California - and San Francisco in particular. This plight in San Francisco is not new news - it has been a direct result of the asinine liberal DemocRatic stupidity for years and continues to get worse.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;">Of course the surrounding area is nice bit going into San Francisco is an absolute shitty disaster. Homeless people sleeping outside on the sidewalks, homeless people being told to leave the entrance of the restaurant I was in because they were begging customers for food, got yelled at a homeless person when sightseeing the golden gate bridge because he was sleeping under a cardboard box threatening to stab me in the throat if I didn't let him sleep. The people are the worst too. Tesla owner rolls up in the parking lot to skate the scenic views and I mentioned how tesla had a recall or something of the sort to a friend and the girl called me a "dumbass fucking bitch." Gas so expensive it's unbelievable, Uber driver was even complaining how he wants to get the hell out of there. Who the fuck cares about an in-n-out it was so busy cops showed up to patrol, stupid $3 for a mediocre cheeseburger like it's the best thing ever.</span><i style="text-align: start;">I'm not even getting political and how shitty their policies are as well. </i></span><b style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">(3)>>>Rumor I heard was that Biden will be the candidate and Newsome VP. Biden will retire within the first 6 months.</b><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><i>Or if anything where to happen to Biden before the election. </i></span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;">I had this thought just this morning. If Dems don’t have a plan B for the election should anything happen to Biden, we’re fucked. And Kamala is absolutely NOT the answer.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;">Gavin would at least have a fighting chance. I’ll remain hopeful that Biden can see through the election and also his next term. </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;">I really doubt Biden is going out before the election, but of course it's smart of dems to have a contingency plan. Completely agree that Kamala is not the answer. She would get absolutely destroyed as even most dems don't like her.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;">The probability that he will actually finish a 2nd term, or the probability that an 80 year old will make it to 86, is 58%. So he has a 42% chance of dying before finishing a 2nd term, barely better than a coin flip. </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;">This does leave out health and wealth effects, and just represents the average 80 year old.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;">My takeaway from this is that Newsom is positioning to run for president in 2028. Governors don't report to the president, so the only reason they can "send him" is because he wants to get into the national spotlight to get more national recognition.</span></span></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.buzzerhut.com"><img border="0" src="http://www.buzzerhut.com/images/mainlogo_small.gif" width="154" height="42" alt="Promote Your Blog" title="Promote Your Blog For Free" /></a></div>mars309http://www.blogger.com/profile/13593794623683708593noreply@blogger.com
