A Perverted Peace in Palestine

Palestinians continue to be targeted and shot. The Zionists have hired Islamic terrorist gangs to do their killing in Gaza. Hamas is shooting back and protecting the Gaza residents. Israel claims it is Hamas who is breaking the cease fire. They call for Hamas to disarm. When has Israel ever abided by a cease fire? There's still talk of attacking Iran soon. The situation in Ukraine is equally farcical. Russia continues advancing and destroying Ukrainian troops and equipment. I look for the possible meeting of Trump and Putin in Hungary to be as fruitful as their Alaska summit, which is to say, "empty". In the Caribbean, the US navy continue blowing up boats claiming they are shipping drugs without a particle of evidence nor legality. Then there's an announcement of a CIA operation to kill Maduro in Venezuela...I guess it is covert turns overt? So not much peace in the western sphere.

End of Empire
Slowly, Slowly, Then All at Once

The decay of US empire is all around us...crumbling infrastructure, increasing poverty and homelessness, and an economic system in decline. We used the power of the dollar to sanction and bully other countries to the point they united and developed a new means of exchange (BRICS pay) bypassing the USD and SWIFT system. The FED has for decades cranked up the presses to over produce dollars, increasing the debt to the point the interest on the debt is about equal to our GDP. Much of the currency creation has been to finance the endless war - profiting the MIC, the bankers, the oil industry, and the elite. In fact, over spending on the Vietnam war caused Nixon to take the USD off a gold standard because we didn't have the gold to back all the dollars created. Since then it has gotten worse, and the wars more numerous in an effort to prop up the failing system.

The Enemy Within?

Did you hear the speeches at the Generals and Admirals gathering. Trump suggested training the armed forces in US cities. We have met the enemy and he is us...WTF. War abroad and at home. So on the target list we have Venezuela, Iran, Russia, China, and democratic party led cities? Quite the list for a peace president. You can't make it up...

As the Turkish proverb goes: “When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn't become a king, the palace becomes a circus”.

The Fall...

...It is the start of the season, the fate of US empire, and the future of the U$D. Autumn is off to a lovely start here in NE Alabama. The wildflowers are outstanding this year. Peak leaf color is at least a month away, but you can already see the start of the change. The US empire belittles itself almost daily. Many are wondering why Hegseth has called all the generals and admirals (some 800) together next week. Is it a new war strategy against Iran, or Venezuela, or ...? Or is it to get them to swear a loyalty oath like Hitler? Perhaps we'll find out next week. As to the dollar, I do most our our grocerying and every week the cost is higher. The Italian wines I like have really jumped in price. I wonder if it is the tariffs. Well, all that and more below the fold.

What Constitution?

Do schools even teach civics anymore? It seems no one read the Constitution, including our Attorney General. Free speech for accepted thoughts, but not for wrong thought. Get ready for the new "Censorship Industrial Complex". De-platform any media which doesn't ban the people we tell them, or provides imagery of the genocide which we deny. Conduct illegal acts of war with no oversight. Declare elected leaders in other countries illegitimate. Impose tariffs without congressional approval. Then there's constant surveillance and monitoring of social media. Not to mention the majority of elected leaders more loyal to Israel than the US. Someone needs to start a Constitution Party to get the US back on track...yeah, and unicorns and rainbows too. Orwell was a prophet.

Wars at Home and Abroad

The US brought the foreign wars back home. There were two county deputies walking around Trade Day yesterday. They looked like storm troopers with their vests and arms...militarized. Used to be Andy Griffith like, but no more. Here at home we have all the ice raids, the National Guard patrolling some streets, and murders/assassinations like Charlie Kirk's. Yesterday I went in our small grocery and asked if they had any chuckeye steaks. "No, we can't get them. Ice has been raiding all the processing plants, and they don't have enough help." That's all bad enough, but our widespread mischief overseas is over whelming. We've got color revolutions all over the world. Nepal being the most obvious this week. Last week it was Venezuela. Plus there's ongoing interference in Serbia, Georgia, Thailand, Indonesia, Taiwan, and many other locations around the world. Is it possible to curb the US war machine? I can't see how...

Pursuing the Peace Prize with
Tariffs, Sanctions, and War Crimes?

Maybe the Donald is playing 5D chess in his quest for the peace prize. He has certainly brought the non-western world together like never before as they unite in an effort to cope with US bullying. Their unity was on display this week at the SCO, the China celebration of the end of WWII, and the Eastern Economic Forum. Meanwhile in the west there was an impotent meeting of the so called coalition of the willing in France. The US illegally blew up a suspected drug boat in its effort to stir up a war with Venezuela, and the big pharma shills in congress attack RFK and his reforms.

EU Clown Car in DC
As the Palestinian Genocide Continues Unabated

The EU chihuahuas clearly demonstrated they are vassals last week at the White House. At one point, they were asked to leave the office and sit in the hall while Trump supposedly called Putin. Ursula fond of Lying was forced to sit in the hall when Trump wanted to address the elected leaders of the EU. Desperate to keep the war against Russia going in order to keep their banks afloat they tried to get Trump to agree to "security guarantees". Unfortunately, Trump is influenced by his last conversation, and he has been threatening Russia again. As the MSM eyed the white house meeting, the Israeli genocide of Palestinians has accelerated...not just in Gaza, but the West Bank too. They plan total destruction and elimination of all Palestinians in Israel. Many predict another attack on Iran by Israel to distract the public as the inevitable IDF losses accrue.

Putin Plays Chess, Trump Plays Golf

Chess requires thinking a few moves ahead in multiple scenarios. Golf requires playing the ball where it lays. You don't think about the next hole you will play. That may explain Trump's shoot from the hip style. It has been interesting to hear all the different predictions this week about the Trump-Putin summit. Generally speaking, it came off better than I thought. May be Trump will get his coveted piss prize. Meanwhile western Asia is as volatile as ever with many predicting another Israeli strike on Iran. I wonder why the Donald is so concerned about the death in Ukraine, but doesn't seem phased by all the death in Palestine. Maybe brown people don't count?
