OPEN LETTER FROM AMERICAN MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS WHO SERVED IN GAZA
Truth is the first victim of war, as the adage goes. Truth tellers are perhaps the first victims of a corrupt injustice system. Julian led the way. Recently Scott Ritter was targeted. Richard Medhurst was arrested as a terrorist in the UK this week for telling the truth about Palestine. Last week Judge Nap was kicked off YouTube for something Pepe said. Tulsi is on the terror watch list. Telegram founder Pavel Durov was arrested in Paris for allowing free speech on his platform. The censorship industrial complex has jumped the shark of late, and narrative control is the goal.
We're losing on so many levels...Losing dollar dominance, Losing elections, Losing wars, Losing credibility (as we steal Russian assets), Losing our rights as citizens, and much more. Joe Biden is emblematic of our decline, as he wanders around at the G7 and apparently craps in his pants at the D-day celebration.

I think it is time to birth a new nation. America is broken, a Zionist warmongering hegemon that is in free fall. Sadly I don't see a way to politically save ourselves. I think the sons and daughters of this dysfunctional nation must take control of our own lives and live a better, more fulfilling life by escaping the system. I've included some different approaches below involving building community or going it alone. And then there's the news so we can keep track of the coming train wreck for the US.
Are we in WWIII or do we merely sit on the brink? To hear the hyperbolic rhetoric from congress you would think we are under existential threat as they justify the funding for more war and global chaos. Additionally the US was the sole veto in the recognition of Palestine as a state in the UN...a guaranteed way to stop the Gaza genocide. More chaos thanks to us, and by the way keep those bombs a'coming. What a colossal cave by Johnson. I suspect his speakership is at risk. All this and much more below the fold.
I have several takeaways from our road trip to Southern Illinois. There are some excellent discussions from Pepe, Michael Hudson, The Duran and others. Plus a few pictures all below the fold.
The spring holidays have arrived. Today is Easter, we're in the middle of Ramadan, and next month there's Passover. I was amused when our nearby town had a spat about the Easter Egg hunt in the park for the local children. Some were saying it violated the separation of church and state. My first thought was where in the Bible is an egg laying bunny that brings children candy on Easter...must be near the book of Santa. Then I saw the sign in town. The egg hunt is being sponsored by a church and will have a religious message, a faith based egg hunt? So, maybe the town council was correct. Too bad they can't just let the kids play and have fun.
Here we are in the full flush of spring flowers, and the thought came to me that we are lorded over by blooming idiots. Take for example Biden's Gaza pier. Currently hundreds of trucks filled with food and relief items are lined up on the border ready to deliver the goods. However, there are Israeli settlers protesting and preventing the delivery. Seems a small military deployment could easily open up the route for the relief, but there's no will. Would the IDF shoot US soldiers? They have before. So why build the pier? How about to export Palestinians, first to Cyprus and then scatter them through the EU. I heard that speculated this week.
The Hill of Slane sits in sight of three ancient mounds know as the Bru'na Boinne, Newgrange, Knowth, and Dowth. These burial, ceremonial, and astronomic mounds are surrounded by large carved boulders. Also in sight, not far in the distance, is the Hill of Tara where the kings of Ireland were once crowned. Hill of Slane is traditionally regarded as the location where St Patrick lit the first Pascal Fire in 433 AD in defiance of pagan King Laoighre, the King of Tara. Legend has it Patrick's large fire on the Hill of Slane symbolized the beginning of Christianity and the end of paganism in Ireland.
The Gaza genocide continues unabated...now killing starving Gazans waiting to get a meager supply of food. Aaron Bushnell couldn't it take anymore and set himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy as he yelled, "Free Palestine". He wrote: "Many of us like to ask ourselves, 'What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?' The answer is, you're doing it. Right now." Meanwhile Joe Biden eats ice cream and claims to be working toward a Gaza ceasefire. Russia continues making gains in Ukraine, as Napoleon Macron threatens boots on the ground. Wait, I believe Russia killed over 60 french fighters with one missile in Ukraine last month.
