Saudi Arabia is NOT the Western world’s friend. Or women’s. Or pretty much everyone else who doesn’t dally and play touchy-feely with a big glowing illuminated glass ball.

Modern education is little more than toeing the line for the capitalist pigs.

Guerrilla Liberalism won't liberate the US or the world from the iron fist of capital.

"IT IS PART OF THE GENERAL PATTERN OF MISGUIDED POLICY THAT OUR COUNTRY IS NOW GEARED TO AN ARMS ECONOMY WHICH WAS BRED IN AN ARTIFICIALLY INDUCED PSYCHOSIS OF WAR HYSTERIA AND NURTURED UPON AN INCESSANT PROPAGANDA OF FEAR. WHILE SUCH AN ECONOMY MAY PRODUCE A SENSE OF SEEMING PROSPERITY FOR THE MOMENT, IT RESTS ON AN ILLUSIONARY FOUNDATION OF COMPLETE UNRELIABILITY AND RENDERS AMONG OUR POLITICAL LEADERS ALMOST A GREATER FEAR OF PEACE THAN IS THEIR FEAR OF WAR." GENERAL DOUGLAS MACARTHUR, 1952

I never knew that the term "Never Again" only pertained to
those born Jewish

"Antisemite used to be someone who didn't like Jews
now it's someone who Jews don't like"

Congress knew about it just as they know that the Saudis stood behind Al Qaida when they were fighting against our troops during the Iraq war, but as long as they keep their oil coming here they will turn a blind eye.

When people found out about their role in 9/11 they yawned. The worst attack on the country was committed by our ally and no one seemed to care. No have many people cared about how our liberties were stripped from us because they thought our government was just trying to keep us safe.

The message echoes from Gaza back to the US. “Starving people is fine.”
