So if Donald Trump didn't win in 2024 he would be going to prison for his failed coup.
That is where the USA is at.

Israel, US, UK launch coordinated airstrikes on Houthi stronghold in Yemen
The attacks were the largest coordinated Israeli-US-British attack on the Houthis since the start of the war.
The Jerusalem Post reports that the UK & US are โcoordinatingโ with the Israeli military in striking Yemen.
This would be evidence of further UK military collaboration with a force promoting genocide in Gaza. www.jpost.com/breaking-new...

The reemergence of Engelsโ concept of social murder in response to growing social and health inequalities
In 1845, Friedrich Engels identified how the living and working conditions experienced by English workers sent them prematurely to the grave, arguing โฆ
Time to bring back this concept: 1) workers die prematurely 2) The bad conditions causing their death are due to #capitalism 3) One class (rich) benefits from the exploitation 4) As they & gov are aware of whatโs happening, theyโre committing โsocial murderโ โ ๏ธ

I've seen a child with tetanus, I've treated near fatal infections after chicken pox, and I've pronounced children dead from COVID whose parents refused to have them vaccinated.
We have lost our minds... and are about to lose so many of our precious children.

This rebrand is B.S. Stop being gullible. If you study the CIAโs history of propping up far-right/fascist terrorist groups around the world, youโll understand whatโs going on here. This is for the Western ruling classโs hegemony. It hasnโt actually been a revolution at all.

In a normal society, a 14% rise in homelessness would be leading the news.
Instead, it is led by what our politicians eat for lunch.
Our media serves power, not us.

King Charles inherited ยฃ650m tax free, gets ยฃ125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth ยฃ22bn thatโs never taxed.
But he still needed a 45% pay rise.
Like if he needs a pay cut.
