War IS the US Business Model
War with Russia in the Ukraine Proxy war, a likely War in SW Asia with Iran, War with China over Taiwan, War on US citizens using a variety of techniques, an economic War on the EU, countless coups and conflicts in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, Sanction wars with any country which refuses to submit to US dictats ...here a war, there a war, everywhere a war,war. I heard Lockhead-Martin stock is up 58% this year alone. This country has come a long way down the road from the initial goal of being an agricultural and trading nation. We morphed into authoritarian warmongering bullies somewhere along the way.
Things are not going well in Ukraine. The Kursk incursion is nearly wiped out, and Russia is advancing quickly across the Donbas. 'elensky has been zooming around Europe hat in hand and is now demanding nukes or NATO membership. The Duran discusses the situation...

Wednesday's death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar RIP Yahya Sinwar
This Mass Atrocity Is Made Possible By The Systematic Dehumanization Of Palestinians
Oxfam reports that Israeli forces killed four water engineers and workers on their way to repair water infrastructure in Gaza.
“Despite prior coordination with Israeli authorities their clearly-marked vehicle was bombed,” Oxfam says.
It’s gotten to the point where the only advantage to sharing your coordinates with the IDF as an aid worker in Gaza is that it will allow the historical records to show that they knew exactly what they were doing when they used those coordinates to kill you.
Israeli forces found and killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar by accident while they were just randomly destroying parts of Gaza, and then they methodically targeted and killed four water engineers on purpose. These two facts alone tell you everything you need to know about what Israel is really doing in Gaza.

China Holds Massive Military Drills After Taiwan’s President Vows to 'Resist Annexation' w/ KJ Noh
(27 min) The Chinese Military held a series of drills around the island of Taiwan this week, noting that they were meant to serve as a “stern deterrence to the separatist acts of Taiwan independence forces.” The exercises notably came days after Taiwan’s new president gave a speech, in which he vowed to “uphold the commitment to resist annexation,” and said his mission was to “stand side by side with democratic countries.”
Geopolitical Analyst KJ Noh noted that the speech from Taiwan’s president sounds like it was written in Washington, and it’s yet another reminder that while the U.S. claims to support the ‘One China Policy’ (which states that Taiwan is a part of China), that hasn’t stopped Washington from gearing up for war with Beijing, using its proxies in Taiwan.

The geoeconomic drivers of SCO-BRICS synergy
China proposes to “uphold the principle of indivisible security” as well as “build a balanced, effective and sustainable security architecture” and firmly oppose “the building of national security on the basis of insecurity of other countries”. That’s something that every member of the SCO – not to mention BRICS – subscribes to.
In a nutshell, indivisibility of security as envisaged by Russia-China amounts to the de facto application of the UN Charter. The result would be peace on a global level – and by implication the death knell to NATO.
While indivisibility of security still can’t be adopted Eurasia-wide – as the Hegemon deploys a war of terror in several fronts to undermine the emergence of a multi-nodal world – win-win cross-border connectivity keeps on rolling, from the Steppe Road to New Silk Road corridors.

Hey, good morning

This from Caitlin is good IMO.
It is important to resist the warmonger narrative.
Thanks for the WW!

all the senseless wars. TPTB need to know we don't like all the death and destruction, and that their propaganda machine no longer is as effective as they thought.

Where are the Churches?
Why aren't religious institutions organizing protests against all this war and war talk in the world? Have they been too politicized, like the other components of society? Are they just too busy asking for donations and competing against each other? Churches were active in abolishing slavery, promoting the Civil Rights movement, and ending the Vietnam War. Where are they now?
Great question...
The only peace church I'm aware of is the Community Church of Boston. They feature people like Chas Freeman, Max Blumenthal, and Ray McGovern. The Churches have never all been on the right page. Remember MLK's letter from the B'ham jail when he addresses the religious leaders of the city asking him to slow walk the movement.
Some religious leaders are peace activists, but I'm sorry to say, not many.
Thanks for the insightful comment.
Edit to add: with more thought, another aspect of a church response involves the Christian Zionists who believe the coming of the messiah comes about with all this Israel conflict. Additionally, one of the primary pro-Palestine voices comes from the Jewish community.

Peace messages
I think peace messages were a lot more prominent several decades ago.
Not advocates but bearers of the message.
Even the popular Christmas carols have moved away from peace, for the most part.
The anti-war movement...
from the Vietnam era shaped my life, as I suspect it influenced you...and so many in this community.

Craving for the rapture?
What is the rapture?
From my view it is similar to the Zionists view that God gave them "Greater Israel" 2600 years ago. (The chosen people and Jewish Supremacy is a myth to my mind). Both ideas living in the land of myth....not to offend any believers, but it's just I don't.
Each to their own.
“Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”
John Nelson Darby,
a British lawyer, came up with the End Times bs. I can't find it today, but I damn well found it several years ago in an article that he spent most of his later life in a mental facility.
His bio material today has erased that. Christian Zionists have white washed it. I suspect it would take tremendous effort to find any mention about his mental health.
It would give a lot of what is going on with the genocide a bad look, as it would made the CZs look as bat shit crazy as they truly are.

Good morning LO. Out in the yard early doing various tasks.
One is to pull a piece of 1/2 emt that was driven about 5+ feet into our clay soil by hand sledge years ago without tearing up surrounding planting. So far 3 methods have failed. Latest in to stand a section of 4 x 2 channel beside it, hook a come-along over it pulling on a pipe hitch around the emt. First try the hitch held, but I ran out of slack on the come along. Have slid the hitch down the pole about a foot and ready to go try again.
The news, these days, is mostly the olds, and, well, you know:

Pipe hitch held fine, but I needed to lower my purchase once, which involved untying the bowline on a bight that terminated the business end after putting mucho strain on it for quite some time. That might have been the hardest part.

As I’ve said before,
“wholesale death” is our last remaining export product.
If only we lived in a world where there was no market for it. But we have done a very good job at creating said market over the last few decades…

I think a lot of people knew what was happening to Jews during WW 2. Zionists Jews certainly did and that includes Zionists in America. There’s no way Germany could have covered up what they were doing. And remember alot of Americans were funding Hitler.

I think more to the point is THIS:
.
Of
PalestiniansWestern Civilization..
This is the real point because after the current horror is all over (or after we run out of Palestianians), we will still be left with fake elections and a nation filled with dehumanized Americans. Our allied nations will still be filled with Dehumanized Europeans, and so forth.
What are we supposed to do with that? What are our children supposed to do with that?
We, as individuals, can find ways to do better than that for ourselves. We can find better locations, governments, and societies. But we can't find those things as a country. Too much brain damage.
The Chinese, acting with national unity and individual service to peace, have found a way to leave this world better than they found it. Western Civilization cannot do this because the West is anti-Unity — which they call 'socialism' or 'communism'. What Unity really is, is a state where All People directly benefit from the actions of their government — and not just the wealthy and the politically connected. That's Unity. That's what creates Unity. That's what our struggle is all about.
For Western Civilization, Palestine is just the beginning (win or lose). Make no mistake: The Neocons operating the US Federal Government know the truth: Palestine is a warning shot across the bow of social justice. They have no interest in stopping it.
We here should at least face that truth, as we have consistently and courageously done since at least 2015.

Like the song says, "when will they ever learn?"
On July 26, 1956, the House of Representatives voted 373 to 9 to cite Pete Seeger and seven others (including playwright Arthur Miller) for contempt, as they failed to cooperate with House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) in their attempts to investigate alleged subversives and communists. Pete Seeger testified before the HUAC in 1955.
In one of Pete's darkest moments, when his personal freedom, his career, and his safety were in jeopardy, a flash of inspiration ignited this song. The song was stirred by a passage from Mikhail Sholokhov's novel "And Quie Flows the Don". Around the world the song traveled and in 1962 at a UNICEF concert in Germany, Marlene Dietrich, Academy Award-nominated German-born American actress, first performed the song in French, as "Qui peut dire ou vont les fleurs?" Shortly after she sang it in German. The song's impact in Germany just after WWII was shattering. It's universal message, "let there be peace in the world" did not get lost in its translation. To the contrary, the combination of the language, the setting, and the great lyrics has had a profound effect on people all around the world. May it have the same effect today and bring renewed awareness to all that hear it.
