against rival nations have finally reaped a whirlwind of multilateral consequences. Stealing the money of foreign nations that held US currency reserves, was really the final stupidity that signals to the world that the West was suicidal. US arrogance has finally unleashed global economic blowback against the US and Europe. it cannot be stopped.

This is where the decline starts to happen all at once. Economic analyst and Investor, Sean Foo, has been reporting on the day-to-day economic policy bungling of the West. He seems to have his finger on the pulse of America's economic endgame — He's now reporting daily as it happens.

It appears that American politicians and their Neocon overlords remain completely tonedeaf and clueless — while the sane world is packing up and moving moving on.

"Oh look! a Chinese Spy Balloon." Ignorance and arrogance.

IMAGINE if you woke up the day after a US Presidential Election and headlines around the the world blared, "The Majority of Americans Refused to Vote in US Presidential Election! What Does this Mean?"

with Col. Wilkerson that is focused on the war expansion in Israel. Not a good move on Israel's part unless we are stupid enough to put boots on the ground.

@humphrey

I watched his interviews with Johnson and Crook. Crook says at the end that if Kamala tries to end the Gaza genocide there would be a new candidate before she stopped talking.

He also thinks the attack on the Gollan was a false flag by Netanyahu who got permission to go to war with Hezzbolah. One thing to watch for is whether Israel attacks military assets or civilians…if civilians then they are enticing Hezzbolah to attack civilians in Israel. Guess we know what Israel chose.

Jonathon Cook on Netanyahu's visit.

Only a failing US empire would be so blind as to cheer Netanyahu and his genocide

This is a US imperial war – part of its military campaign for “global, full-spectrum dominance” – carried out by Washington’s most favoured client state.

The genocide is fully a US genocide, armed by Washington, paid for by Washington, given diplomatic cover by Washington, and – as the scenes in Congress underlined – cheered on by Washington.

Or as Netanyahu stated in a moment of unintentional candour to Congress: “Our enemies are your enemy, our fight is your fight, and our victory will be your victory.”

Israel is Washington’s largest military outpost in the oil-rich Middle East. The Israeli army is the Pentagon’s main battalion in that strategically important region. And Netanyahu is the outpost’s commander in chief.

What is vital to Washington elites is that the outpost is supported at all costs; that it doesn’t fall to the “barbarians”.

If recently reelected Maduro is successful in his crackdown on the US backed protesters we might see a steady stream of these fine democracy loving individuals heading to the US border.

https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/politics/2024/07/30/venezuela-detai...(Bloomberg)%20%2D%2D%20Venezuela's%20government%20is,figure%20Freddy%20Superlano%20on%20Tuesday.

(Bloomberg) -- Venezuela’s government is engaging in a full crackdown on any resistance to President Nicolás Maduro’s self-declared victory, announcing 749 arrests and detaining prominent opposition figure Freddy Superlano on Tuesday.

A video shared on social media showed Superlano, who campaigned alongside opposition leader María Corina Machado, being taken out of his car Tuesday and forced into an unmarked SUV by several men in all-black uniforms in a residential neighborhood in Caracas.

The arrests followed Maduro’s livestream, broadcast to X on Monday night, in which he said that protesters would be “severely” prosecuted after thousands of Venezuelans took to the streets of Caracas decrying what they say is a fraudulent win. He held his phone up to the camera over and over again, showing videos of the demonstrations while emphasizing that he would engage security forces to keep the peace.

https://www.abc27.com/international/ap-irans-state-tv-is-reporting-that-...

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard said Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in Tehran.

No one immediately claimed responsibility for the assassination but suspicion immediately fell on Israel, which has vowed to kill Haniyeh and other leaders of Hamas over the group’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel that killed 1,200 people and saw some 250 others taken hostage.

Iran’s statement gave no details on how Haniyeh was killed.

Iranian state television reported on his death early Wednesday, and analysts immediately began blaming Israel for the attack.

Israel itself did not immediately comment but it often doesn’t when it comes to assassination carried out by their Mossad intelligence agency.

Israel is suspected of running a yearslong assassination campaign targeting Iranian nuclear scientists and others associated with its atomic program.

In its campaign since, Israel has killed more than 39,360 Palestinians and wounded more than 90,900, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, whose count does not differentiate between civilians and combatants.

I'm not a legal expert,' said State Department spokesman Vedant Patel when asked if rape was a war crime
The State Department on Tuesday refused to label Israeli soldiers raping Palestinian prisoners as a war crime

American mouthpieces had no problem believing Israel’s claims of rape, but when Israelis are accused it will give Israel the Benifit of doubt and wait for the investigation. Fcking, fcking hypocrites!!

Caitlin:

Today in Every Accusation Is A Confession, the same nation which has spent ten months calling Palestinians rapists without evidence has found itself dealing with rioters supporting the right to continue the systemic and extensively evidenced rape of Palestinian prisoners.

It’s so wild how every few years the US just casually tries to install a coup regime in the oil-rich nation of Venezuela and the western political-media class treats this as perfectly normal. And then they’ll have the gall to shriek about “election interference” if some Russians make some Facebook memes about a presidential race or whatever. Really says a lot about how evil, entitled, supremacist and stupid western civilization is.

If I needed to defend my political faction by telling people to overlook an active genocide until after an election, I personally would simply leave that political faction.

Sing it sister!

to be a rousing success.

The rest of the tweet:

Maybe because that's literally what your job is? Trying to talk to warring parties in order to bring an end to a war that's ruining the union you represent...

Who's a bigger war criminal: the side that's ready to negotiate an end to a war or the side that insists it needs to keep going without end in sight, no matter how many lives are lost in the process?

@on the cusp

Whilst the Kam was supposedly the border czar how many migrants entered the country? And where’s the proof that the Donald did those things? Talk is cheap…
BTW Biden has kept most of the things Trump did in place. He didn’t rejoin the Iran treaty. He not only kept the Trump sanctions in place, he added more. He kept Trump's Abrams accord in place that will keep Palestinians from having their own state, he’s trying to get more countries to sign on with it. And why hasn’t any dem administration rolled back republican tax cuts?

The Kam worship got nauseating 2 minutes after it started. It doesn’t matter who is elected, the deep state will stills run the country.

@snoopydawg @snoopydawg is that the worship of the Kam started IMMEDIATELY after Biden, or someone who didn't know his signature, made that infamous written statement that as great as he is, and for no reason, ain't in the race.
Wouldn't be totally American to be told the truth so we knew wtf was going on?
Oh..the Gummint does really trust We The People. We just need to fall in line.
