Also, I looked up Whitney Webb, and their work appears ridiculous to me.
I know it's meant respectfully. That's what I politely put my objection out there publicly, and try to model a better way. The best idea the Founders of the country had was the "republic of letters," where all arguments are considered equally (why they wrote under pseudonyms like "publius.") My war.
I know. That's what I politely put this out there, and try to model a better way. I'm very serious about my small-d democratic values. The best idea the Founders of the country had was the "republic of letters," where all arguments are considered equally (why they wrote under pseudonyms.)
So, then, only in the sense that all states are basically the formal legalization of organized crime. How do you think the original French or Chinese or whoever got their sovereignty?
All I ask for is Israel to be treated as a normal state that you can criticize the same as every other.
That fucking pisses me off. Israel so obviously makes both Jews there and Jews here more unsafe, because they've been screaming "JEWS = ISRAEL" ever since 1967, allowing zero ideological debate. A colossal moral and political error. It was, intellectually, imperialist.
A choice. Organized Jewry chose to stake its entire political capital on the notion that Israel and Judaism were coextensive. Like the camp I went to run by the Milwaukee JCC, for "all" Jews (they even kept a kosher kitchen for like zero frum people!) having us salute the Israeli flag each day.
What "organized crime syndicate"?
Respect. No harm. I love all my interlocutors. Equally!
Think about this: Israel uses American Christers as mercenaries. Israel fucking loves mercenary. Loved keeping their hands clean. Eg, Phalangists in Sabra&Shatila massacre. A morally grotesque MO!
Going through my book manuscript before writing the conclusion, realizing I have to pare the conspicuous use of the word "conspicuous." It's clearly one of my favorites: perfect for signaling to the reader to be sophisticated about the layers built into political speech. Conspicuous silences, etc.
It's a pet peeve, hearing from someone criticizing an argument of mine that, Oh, but I love your books. I'm incredible grateful for my readers. But I think no less of your arguments, or more of them, depending on your opinion of something else. Argue with the argument: a sacred principle of mine.

We could stop them any time.
What do you mean?
Israel chose to ally with them. Please do not gaslight.

The cult of exaggerated anti-anti-semitism may end up with human extinction to answer for. Without the free hand the bipartisan blob granted Israel, because good-faith rageful critique of the IDF's sadistic recklessness could always be shouted down as "antisemitism," this crisis is inconceivable.
Maybe we did it. Maybe Israel did. But let this sink in: anything the IDF does, Iran will impute shared responsibity. They will retaliate against us, for the actions of an army proven to have no compunction about committing atrocity after atrocity.

John McCain was desperate for an Iran war.
Do you know that born United States federal government and Israel are run by proven liars, Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu? Or do you just not care?
Useful reminder that the main reason Osama bin Laden did 9/11 was rage at the "infideks" staging an attack on Muslims in 1991 using the land of Mecca and Medina.

I have no way of independently evaluating this, and there's no detailed coverage anywhere else I can find, but if this description is correct, America or Israel seems to have carried out an intentional massacre of civilians.

Are any of those "betting markets" taking odds on which country will be the first to kick out American military bases, so as not to get bombed?
Just so folks know, debunked Team Pahlavi disinfo that Iran bombed its own elementary school is accepted as article of faith currently on the right.

Elon's site is now saturated with paeons to the glorious genius bringing world peace with his brilliant strike in Iran, and eliminationist rants about freedom-hating quisling Democrats who were too stupid and cowardly to do it themselves.

I'm hearing reports the boys will be back by Christmas.
Of course. He's dumb.
