against RUS and CHI as pertains to Iran. Although China is a relatively recently
designated adversary, the globalists are in full anti-multiporal mode. They are using
their vassal states of US, GB, FR, AU, ISR and others in the EU to fracture threats.
Some of the global south, portions of Africa and western Eurasia so far have put a
glitch in their plans. This why they are pushing a WW3 'solution'.

I feel the CIA is in on the ruse to forward the globalist agenda. Used to think Wall
Street was also a player, but they are also being used to destroy economies.

Buy a couple of goats, a few chickens and learn a trade before it is too late.

...there have been some tepid gestures lately of purported attempts to ameliorate relations with China. I won't bother detailing them, because I think they're an effort to deceive. Ben Norton does a great review of the Matt Pottinger, Mike Gallagher propaganda piece in FP magazine. This is a more candid expression of the US imperial views toward its empire in Asia. I had mentioned this article several days ago with a resigned attitude, because it contained so many obvious untruths, I considered it too time consuming to address point by point. I'm glad that Ben Norton took it up.

I regard what is going on now with the Israel-US anti-Iran program as actually a part of a larger plan to attempt to remove Iran from the Russian-Chinese orbit. Brian Berletic has a recent video and article which argues this US anti-Iran scheme has been in the works for at least 15 years and all the US moves are choreographed to take advantage of the current "opportunities."

Glad you are feeling better Sima. Thanks for the OT.

@on the cusp

I think we're past it. To a sizeable fraction of the people in this country, being anti-wholesale-death is already regarded as utterly un-American.

A great example of this can be seen at Zerohedge, where the commenters have largely self-selected as being significantly to the right of Atilla the Hun. It is interesting to watch the pig-pile that occurs when some poor misguided wight posts an opinion that doesn't reflect the "nuke 'em 'til they glow blue so we can strafe 'em in the dark" narrative. Such a person will immediately be excoriated as a communist muslim DEI transsexual gookxican, or worse yet, a Democrat. All evil can be laid squarely at the feet of progressives, it seems. It is "othering" on steroids.

I no longer believe that there will be any healing of that rift. They regard us as mentally defective, and I have to admit that I have come to believe the same about them. Anyone who can hold those beliefs is fundamentally broken, IMNSHO.

The die is cast: now, all that remains is the denouement. Will the collapse come from within, or will it occur as a result of the rest of the world finally deciding to be rid of us? I'm finally, at long last, simply hoping that it is over soon, so that I can rest. At least I won't have to pay any more bills.

made a clearer point if it had been painted on Rev. Hagge's evangelical Christian megachurch.
You can be an Israeli without being a Jew, but to criticize Israel's government is anti-Semitic.
I just do not get it, likely never will at my age and stage in life.
We are nearing a point where being anti-war and anti-genocide is a bad thing.

To do so would call into question the legitimacy
of an occupying state forcing a population out of
the lands they have owned since before Israel was
even a thing. Even if members of the UN pass such a
measure, don't count on Israel to abide.

The rest of the tweet:

“Israel” killed the largest number of humanitarian workers, and we did not hear any Western condemnation

The representative of "Israel" described the Security Council as a "terrorism council" and forgot that his state was established by a decision of the council.

The Middle East is on the brink of abyss, and because of one country, we were unable to stop the massacre in Gaza

President Joe Biden on Wednesday suggested twice that the United States was unable to recover his uncle Ambrose Finnegan’s remains after Finnegan’s plane crashed near New Guinea during World War II, “because there used to be a lot of cannibals” in the region.

Biden’s accounting of his uncle’s death — and possible cannibalization — differs from the account published by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting agency, which says Finnegan’s plane, an A-20 Havoc headed to New Guinea on a courier flight, was “forced to ditch in the ocean” off the coast of the island “for unknown reasons.”

“And my uncle, they called him – Ambrose, they called him Bosie… and he became an Army Air Corps, before the Air Force came along, he flew those single engine planes as reconnaissance over war zones,” Biden said during remarks at the United Steelworkers Headquarters in Pittsburgh. “And he got shot down in New Guinea, and they never found the body because there used to be a lot of cannibals – for real – in that part of the New Guinea.”

to the south to avoid the unions
putting many workers out of jobs
but now, the new workers figured out
the big corps are screwing them, so they
organize for rights. How long before the
corps offshore (more) to avoid paying a
living wage? More lay-offs and closing of
plants so executives can get their millions
including the UAW bigwigs

It is a cycle, the US values profits over
jobs. Expect a lot of push back from the PTB
on this recent iteration. Short sighted greed.

VW today

Mercedes-Benz workers in Alabama will get to vote on joining the UAW.

Both Mercedes-Benz and the United Auto Workers union stipulated to an election agreement, according to an email from National Labor Relations Board spokeswoman Kayla Blado.
...
The vote comes after what was said to be a supermajority of Mercedes-Benz employees at the plants filed a petition earlier this month with the board's Region 10 office in Atlanta seeking to represent about 5,200 production workers.

The election will come less than a month after the closely watched UAW election unfolding at Volkswagen in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Workers at VW on Thursday were in the second day of voting there. A victory by the union in that contest would mark the biggest organizing win by the UAW in decades, coming in the U.S. South.

Organizing drives in the past have met stiff resistance from regional politicians, which was on display again this week with a statement signed by the governors of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas.

Alabama Republicans really hates unions

(AP) — Alabama lawmakers on Tuesday advanced legislation that would withhold economic incentive dollars from companies that voluntarily recognize a union without holding a secret ballot election.
The Alabama Senate voted 23-5 for the bill by Republican Sen. Arthur Orr, of Decatur. It now moves to the Alabama House of Representatives.

The measure says that companies would be ineligible for economic development incentives if they voluntarily recognize a union after a majority of employees return union-authorization cards — a process sometimes called “card check-off.” Under the proposal, a secret ballot election would be required to determine if a union would be formed.
