in the sixties the negro's had a large number of valid complaints which have devolved into meaningless crap like this buffalo's demands;
New Black Panther Party national chairwoman Krystal Muhammad celebrated the removal of the judge who presided over Karmelo Anthony’s murder trial, and immediately demanded that the convicted killer be released from prison.
Standing outside the Collin County Courthouse following Wednesday’s recusal hearing, Muhammad erupted into chants of “Black Power” as Anthony’s supporters celebrated the procedural victory.
“Black Power. It’s about goddamn time. Our power to the people. That’s the first step. Now we need for Karmelo [Anthony] to be released.”
“All of the racist acts that took place under Judge Roach—from them not letting people come into the courthouse when it’s supposed to be a public hearing, from them not giving the jury instructions on self-defense—so Carmelo would have never got a case in the first place. He would have had—the jury would have had the option of manslaughter—from the racism.”.............more...........

kafka must have designed the world we currently inhabit;
Reform and the Tories have renewed calls to quit the European Convention on Human Rights after a migrant who raped a sleeping woman won the right to remain in Britain.
Hendrix Ekwen, 34, took nine years to admit he was to blame for the ‘appalling’ attack on the woman when she was drunk, unconscious and ‘vulnerable’, an immigration tribunal heard.
Because of his ‘sexual entitlement’, he did not accept guilt for the crime and tried to ‘place responsibility of the rape with the victim’.
But he has now won an immigration case to stay in Britain after launching a human rights claim.
A judge ruled he could remain in the UK after Ekwen insisted he had ‘learned his lesson’.
The Tories’ Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said: ‘It is utterly repulsive this rapist is allowed to stay in the UK.
‘He, and all other foreign criminals, should be deported.
‘A whole industry of open-border activists and lawyers has sprung up to frustrate the ability to remove such criminals – this needs to be torn down..........more...........
what does he know that we would want to know as well;
A high-ranking Russian general has issued a stark warning that Israel could ‘cease to exist as a state’ if the escalating West Asia conflict continues to widen, while US-Iran tensions remain high over diplomatic engagement and naval blockades.
Lieutenant General Apti Alaudinov of the Russian Armed Forces stated that the ongoing West Asia conflict could result in Israel ceasing to exist as a state.
Alaudinov accused Israel of attempting to escalate the conflict and draw the United States and NATO into the confrontation.
US President Donald Trump has reportedly paused talks with Iran, stating that Tehran must be ‘ready to make a deal’, while maintaining a naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf criticised US officials for believing that increased economic or military pressure would force Iran into further concessions.
The ongoing conflict in West Asia could ultimately result in Israel ceasing to exist as a state, Lieutenant General Apti Alaudinov (right), deputy chief of the Russian Armed Forces’ Main Military-Political Department and commander of the Akhmat special forces unit, told TASS.
“We must realise that the war in the Middle East will only escalate,” Alaudinov said..........more.........
iran won't lay down at the empire's feet but will fight until it can no longer;
Iran is considering launching attacks on US military targets in Europe if President Donald Trump escalates the conflict, according to a report.
Sources close to Iran’s government told the Financial Times that potential targets included a British air base in Cyprus that was targeted by a drone in March.
Other countries in southeastern Europe such as Bulgaria, which approved US access to its Bezmer air base for refuelling last month, were also weighed up as a potential target for strikes.
It follows warnings that Tehran is considering switching to a “fully offensive” strategy, a senior Iranian official told Reuters on Monday.
A deal between the US and Iran appears further away than ever as Trump declared the Strait of Hormuz as American territory on Tuesday.
Sharing a bizarre map of the region with a large blue circle around the waterway, he declared the vital shipping route “NEW US territory” on Truth Social.
Shortly after sharing the image, the US leader announced that there are “no talks or conversations going on, or scheduled with the Islamic Republic of Iran”...........more............
the fools in charge keep charging into a fog;
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had a schizophrenic Thursday. Asked on CNBC why oil had jumped on the administration’s latest Iran threats, he professed bewilderment: “I’m not sure why oil has popped up on this.” In separate remarks the same day he went further — “We’ve got a spike in oil prices today that I don’t really understand” — and waved the move away as noise. Apparently he forgot that this was hours after he had announced that the United States would keep its naval blockade and impose what he called the toughest sanctions in history on Iran, adding, “This will work.” It was a day after Trump had promised the “MOST CRUSHING ECONOMIC OPERATION EVER TAKEN AGAINST ANY COUNTRY!“
The driver of the oil spike was obvious to everyone who wasn’t at the Treasury podium: Iran had pledged to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed, and Washington was escalating, not winding down. A Fox co-host remarked that literally everyone else understood what was moving the price. What makes Bessent’s puzzlement worth dwelling on is that it was not confined to oil. In the very same week, a second market delivered the same verdict on the same policies — and it, too, is a market Bessent insists he can manage. The bond market was voting, and the world’s largest holders of US debt were heading, quietly, for the exits............more............
we're tracked everywhere and still the powers that shouldn't be want more as you might expect;
Flock is nothing compared to what’s coming next…
Bret Weinstein says the surveillance company Toka makes Flock look like "the shallow end of the frickin pool."
Toka is an Israeli company that advertises “frictionless surveillance.”
Toka’s technology can locate cameras not their own, remotely access them, and change footage, both previous and live; and they can disappear evidence that any changes have been made. What could go wrong?
Bret Weinstein explains, "I don't want to live in a world where a person can be erased and the people who did the erasing run no risk because they have a subscription to a service that allows their crime to be perfect.
That's really what this is."...........more.............
it sure don't look a bit like we defeated the persians but the amazing president bigly says otherwise;
Trump is making three victory claims at once. Iran, he says, is “being very badly defeated.” The Strait of Hormuz, he says, is effectively American — “we own it,” the US has “total control,” the waterway is open and the mines cleared. And the naval blockade, he says, is total and biting, strangling Tehran’s economy. Set those three claims down next to a fourth fact — that his own Treasury is scrambling to invent a financial weapon “like have never been seen,” and that he is again threatening “a harsh new attack” if the strait doesn’t reopen “soon” — and they cancel each other out. You do not need an unprecedented new sanctions campaign to defeat a country you have already defeated. You do not need to threaten fresh bombing to open a strait you already own. The escalation is the confession. Each new demand for pressure is an admission that the last claim of victory wasn’t real.
Strip away the theater and the sequence is self-refuting. If Iran’s military were defeated, no unprecedented sanctions “punch” would be needed. If the strait were truly open and American-controlled, oil would not be near $92 with traffic at 17 percent and supertankers turning back. If the blockade were total, Iran’s oil revenue would be zero — instead it is selling to China in yuan, outside the blockade’s reach and outside the dollar’s reach, which is the very reason Bessent has to reach for a financial weapon Washington does not comfortably possess. And the overland bypass through Pakistan is running real cargo through Gwadar while Washington, needing Islamabad as its mediator, looks away — the same administration vowing to seal every door to Iran is courting the government that holds one of the widest doors open. Each claim of victory is contradicted by the next escalation, and the escalation keeps coming. When a government that says it has already won keeps demanding new and more extreme tools to win with, the demand is the evidence. The war is not over, the strait is not ours, and the sanctions are aimed at a chokehold Iran already slipped.........more.............
indians, the dot head variety, are a totally different culture than the west and if you do a bit of reading on the subject, you'll discover a culture that doesn't fit well with ours. their way of dealing with trash aught to be a huge indicator;
A viral game on Google Maps has laid bare one of the most glaring cultural realities of the modern world.
Drop a Street View pin anywhere in India and try to find a spot free of garbage, rubble, plastic waste or worse. The “Pindia Challenge” has taken off precisely because it is almost impossible to win. Mountains of trash, rivers of sludge, and streets buried under filth appear with depressing consistency.
But what was once dismissed as a problem isolated to ‘over there’ is now increasingly visible on Western doorsteps through mass migration, turning once-tidy, well maintained neighborhoods into open-air dumps.
The challenge itself is simple and brutal. Players zoom into random Indian locations on Google Maps Street View and screenshot the result. Trash piles, discarded packaging, construction rubble and human waste dominate the frames.
Participants report failure after failure, even in mountainous areas where refuse somehow still appears............more...........
mr peters speaks about charlie;
It is coming up on a year since Charlie Kirk was assassinated – the right word, since this was not merely a murder. We do not use “assassination” to describe ordinary murders, as for example when a thug breaks into someone’s home and murders the people within. Assassination are done for political reasons, not economic reasons.
Charlie Kirk did not hold any office but he was the leader of a movement and – had he not been assassinated – it is very possible he might have run for office (and won). This was perhaps the plan for him, before he began to deviate from it. His assassination occurred, curiously enough, in near congruence with his public questioning of that which he had previously never questioned; i.e., the nature of the “special relationship” between the state of Israel and the United States. It is a term of a piece with “peculiar institution” in the antebellum South in that it is meant to soft-voice a thing that ought to be discussed more openly and forthrightly. That is what Charlie did and it is probably what got him assassinated. He had to go because his questioning of the “special relationship” was causing his millions of young followers to question it.
Charlie is gone, but the questioning remains. If anything, it has gotten louder and more demanding. Why is the political leadership of the United States – of both parties (as if there weren’t just the one) – so beholden to this “special relationship”? What do the American people get out of this “special relationship,” other than taxes and war and lectures about how they are “anti-Semites” if they question any of it? These are the kinds of questions Charlie was asking shortly before he was prevented from asking such questions ever again. It does not mean we can’t ask them...........more...........

The Digital World Is Becoming a Nightmare
Paul Craig Roberts
Modern technology has provided government with growing capability to monitor our lives. The amount of freedom in a “free American” is slowly being reduced to nothing. Flock cameras are one such freedom-destroying tool.
This article referenced below about police misuse and incompetent use of Flock surveillance cameras should scare you to death. And it is not just about the cameras’ violation of privacy which is supposed to be constitutionally protected. It is also about the police who seem to be uninterested in whether they have the wrong person. Why work if you can charge someone?
The claim has been made that these cameras solve crimes, but they seem to be equally as effective in encouraging and causing crimes by police. Neither the cameras nor the police are infallible. The police do not easily let go of their and the cameras’ mistakes.
The question of privacy has not yet been resolved by the courts. Some federal judges have ruled that there is no right to privacy on public roads, but this argument evades the fact that camera tracking creates a detailed picture of a person’s life–his medical appointments, where he goes to church, his entertainments, who his friends are, his political associations. If it is wrong for a person to be stalked by another person, why can a person be stalked by a camera network?...........more...........
Lake Mead Crisis Sends Stark Warning to 40 million Americans
The Colorado River is running out of water.
Paul Craig Roberts
Lakes Mead and Powell, the two massive reservoirs on which up to 40 million Americans depend for water and electricity are on the verge of falling below their ability to function for their intended purposes. According to the US Government, “the Colorado River no longer reliably produces enough water to support all the uses and expectations built around it.” https://www.dailymail.com/sciencetech/article-16061989/hoover-dam-lake-mead-crisis.html
People in Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Utah face cutbacks in as soon as two years. If desalinization of Pacific Ocean water and construction of long pipelines wait too long, the American West will become unlivable for most of the people who are there.
So what did the dumbshit Democrats do? They flooded the area with millions of immigrant-invaders, thus accelerating the crisis.
Real estate developers, agri-business, and cities grown too large for their dry locations are exhausting acquirers and making the water threat nationwide. The inability of people to think beyond the present is a great threat to life.
Meanwhile GDP statistics miscount the exhaustion of natural resources as a rise in GDP. ........https://paulcraigroberts.org/lake-mead-crisis-sends-stark-warning-to-40-million-americans/
pcr with an appropriate sentiment about democracy;
Democracy R.I.P.
Paul Craig Roberts
The Democrats have completely corrupted the electoral system. Mail-in voting and street corner ballot boxes permit a significant number of fake ballots to be received at the last minute in order to “win” an election. Reasons have been institutionalized for throwing out ballots that vote “the wrong way.” Voter lists are crowded with dead people who are voted. The CARS system in Michigan is programmed to automatically register non-citizens to vote. https://patriots.win/p/1ATCIpUrOL/joe-oltmannjoeoltmann11hbr/c/ Electronic voting machines are programmed to count Republican votes as fractions. It could take several votes for a Republican candidate to equal one vote. And the list goes on.
The Republicans are unable to correct these corruptions, because the Democrat judges and election officials will not permit it, declaring the corrective measures to be “racist.”
Republicans would do likewise, but the Democrat judges won’t let them. What is allowable for Democrats is “racist” for Republicans........more............

larry johnson shows us how the amazing president bigly is either demented or a really good comedian as he claims distinctly separate outcomes in a fashion that ignores the sweep of time;
In my previous piece — The Walls Have Doors Now — I argued that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s promised “measures like have never been seen in the history of the economic isolation of a country” would push against an open frontier: an Iran with land bridges to Pakistan, military and intelligence lifelines to Russia and China, and, most consequentially, an oil trade that has walked out of the dollar entirely, settling in Chinese yuan through China’s CIPS clearing network beyond the reach of U.S. financial plumbing. That argument stands. But there is a simpler problem sitting on top of it, and it lives inside the administration’s own words.
Trump is making three victory claims at once. Iran, he says, is “being very badly defeated.” The Strait of Hormuz, he says, is effectively American — “we own it,” the US has “total control,” the waterway is open and the mines cleared. And the naval blockade, he says, is total and biting, strangling Tehran’s economy. Set those three claims down next to a fourth fact — that his own Treasury is scrambling to invent a financial weapon “like have never been seen,” and that he is again threatening “a harsh new attack” if the strait doesn’t reopen “soon” — and they cancel each other out. You do not need an unprecedented new sanctions campaign to defeat a country you have already defeated. You do not need to threaten fresh bombing to open a strait you already own. The escalation is the confession. Each new demand for pressure is an admission that the last claim of victory wasn’t real.
The victory language has been relentless. “After we finish defeating Iran, which is being very badly defeated,” Trump told a police-academy audience in New York on August 14, “pretty soon I’ll be declaring the Hormuz Strait a territory of the United States.” Days earlier he had told reporters the US had “total control” of the waterway: “We own it, and at some point, maybe they’ll do something, and then they get blown away.” On August 18 he posted an image labeling the strait “New US Territory.” On August 19 he insisted the strait was open and the mines cleared — while, in the same breath, confirming that the naval blockade “remains in effect.”............more............
societies that brag about how free they are ruin their reputation by doing the opposite;
I’ve been putting out more and more of these “today in dystopia” write-ups because our society is plunging into iron-fisted authoritarianism and AI-induced idiocracy so rapidly that it’s hard to keep up with how it’s unfolding day by day without shoveling multiple stories into a single essay.
Today in dystopia they’re really going after books. A library in Sydney has removed the book “How to Sell a Genocide” by Adam Johnson from its shelves after Zionists complained about its criticisms of Israeli mass atrocities in Gaza.
The Guardian reports:
“A Sydney library has removed a book critical of Israel called How to Sell a Genocide, following a complaint reportedly from a survivor of the Bondi beach terror attack.

America is quickly devolving into a militarized technocratic surveillance state and a story that recently appeared on the Fox News network is enough to make you shudder at the possibilities.
A company called Foundation Robotics is now discussing potential “national security deployments” of its Phantom humanoid robots along the southern border. Foundation Robotics is a Silicon Valley-based startup focused on developing advanced humanoid robots for military and industrial applications, replacing humans in American factories and along the front lines in wars and tense border-policing situations.
The company reportedly received up to $100 million in backing from Saudi royals and also has one of President Trump’s sons, Eric Trump, as its chief strategy adviser. Its CEO, Sankaet Pathak, was the CEO of the bankrupt fintech firm Synapse before it collapsed amid accusations of unethical investment practices.
The journal Financial Debate wrote this about him last year:
“The fallout from Synapse’s failure, including millions of dollars in missing deposits and unresolved issues with partner banks, has cast a shadow over Pathak’s reputation and potential success with Foundation Robotics Labs.”..........more...........
chauvin was railroaded to satisfy a black mob;
Unjustly convicted former Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin has asked the Minnesota Court of Appeals to hold off on an appeal of a second postconviction petition so his attorney can fight his original conviction for the “murder” of career criminal and drug addict George Floyd.
Chauvin was convicted in April 2021 of murdering Floyd with a supposedly non-approved neck restraint. The evidence showed that Floyd died of a fentanyl overdose.
The railroaded cop’s appeals have gone nowhere. Maybe the legal eagles in Minnesota’s judiciary fear riots should they do the right thing.

President Trump Has the Opportunity to Be the Greatest Statesman of the 21st Century But there is No One in Trump’s Government to show Trump his Opportunity
Paul Craig Roberts
Some responses to my discussion with Nima on Dialogue Works https://www.youtube.com/live/RSeBWcdz9vI and to my posted column https://paulcraigroberts.org/admitting-a-mistake-is-the-road-to-peace/ agreed that my proposal that President Trump end Washington’s conflict with Iran by admitting it was a mistake and stating that the war was over made a lot of sense. But they questioned whether a narcissist, such as Trump, could admit a mistake even it the admission rescued him from a dilemma for which he has no solution except talk of using nuclear weapons.
Think about it for a moment. A narcissist wants the rest of humanity to think as well of himself as he does. By admitting a mistake and, thereby, disposing of a dangerous conflict, the narcissist Trump receives praise from the world. He is elevated from buffoon to Statesman. So, of course, President Trump can admit a mistake and, thereby, deliver into his hands the Nobel Peace Prize. Trump can raise his estimation in the eyes of the world by admitting that Washington’s war with Russia using Ukraine as the proxy was also a mistake and is over. The world would explode in applause for President Trump. America would be redeemed for all of its illegitimate wars. America would be re-established as the moral leader of the world.
The problem is not that Trump is a narcissist, but that he is surrounded by Zionists, including his son-in-law to whom he trusts various negotiations. There is no one to tell Trump how easy it is for him to become the most successful and admired Statesman of the 21st century. Trump himself is too preoccupied issuing threats to see his opportunity.
When I made my suggestion I made the point that there was no one around President Trump to show him his opportunity. Trump’s government, essentially, is allied with Israel, and this leaves Trump with the likelihood of going down as the worst president in US history instead of the Greatest Statesman Of All Time.......https://paulcraigroberts.org/president-trump-has-the-opportunity-to-be-the-greatest-statesman-of-the-21st-century-but-there-is-no-one-in-trumps-government-to-show-trump-his-opportunity/

the illusions about the empire need to be shattered and here's a small start;
Now that the lofty 250th-anniversary rhetoric about the greatness of our country has faded, it is time to face the reality of our country’s actual behavior. The U.S. fashions itself as a generous and benevolent world leader enforcing the “rules-based order”—a deceptive construct used by globalist elites to bully other countries. The rules are arbitrarily changed to suit the bullies and are regularly fashioned into pretexts for military action against uncooperative nations. In short, it is a hoax, untethered from the principles and ideals of our founders.
Almost daily we witness some spectacle illustrating the appalling corruption of our country’s leadership. The recent release of Anthony Fauci’s diary entries confirms long-held suspicions about the Covid-19 narrative, which we now know even Fauci himself did not fully believe. Think of the millions of lives ruined and harmed by that corruption. Yet this vain phony, when asked to testify before Congress, hid behind half a dozen lawyers and refused to answer any questions. What a fine example of transparency from one of our leading scientists and civil servants! What else are our leaders still hiding about the worldwide disaster caused by Covid-related deceptions and manipulations? There has not yet been any meaningful examination of our medical profession, which largely acted as cowards during the pandemic, adhering to the bogus official narrative at the expense of the welfare of their patients.
Our leadership has not even begun to scratch the surface of the horrors created by the many secret—and potentially illegal—biolabs scattered around the globe, supported by funds often hidden from voters under the guise of “national security.” The Fauci crowd appears to have been deeply involved in that dark world...........more..........
these sort of crimes aught to be featured every day to call attention to the perps;
(Caitlin Johnstone) Today in dystopia, police have been wrongfully arresting people based on faulty information from AI-assisted Flock surveillance footage instead of actually investigating the evidence of the crime.

Here’s an excerpt:
“But Isaacs wasn’t involved in the crash, and officers had enough information at the time to exclude her as a suspect. Yet she still spent two weeks in jail and faced the threat of life behind bars for months because police didn’t use basic scrutiny to be sure their cameras implicated the right person.

less sugar equals less cancer in this study;
Via: The Conversation:
Could how much sugar you consumed before your second birthday shape your health decades later – even into your 70s?
A new study that my colleagues and I conducted suggests the answer could be yes. People who had less sugar exposure during the first few years of life were much less likely to develop several different cancers later in life, and they also showed signs of slower biological ageing. We also found that even in adulthood, they continued to consume less sugar and had healthier diets overall.
This is not an easy question to study in real life. Researchers obviously can’t run that experiment on real babies – split them into groups, feed one group sugar, then wait 70 years to see what happens.
Britain’s postwar sugar rationing offered a rare alternative. After the second world war, sugar remained rationed in Britain for several years. But in September 1953, rationing ended and people started eating a lot more sugar. Consumption nearly doubled. This meant that children born just a few months apart had very different levels of sugar exposure both in the womb and during early childhood.
…
We found that people who experienced longer periods of sugar rationing during their first 1,000 days had a lower incidence of five types of cancer: breast, prostate, liver, rectal and lung cancer. The effect was strongest for liver cancer, where rates were around 69% lower, and weakest – though still substantial – for breast cancer, at 36% lower. Importantly, these differences only began to appear decades after sugar rationing had ended............https://www.cryptogon.com/?p=75725

1910s: you cook in Crisco, launched by a soap and candle company, because cottonseed oil is modern and lard is what your mother used. The process that made it solid produced trans fat, banned outright a century later.
1920s: you drink Radithor, certified radioactive water, on prescription. Eben Byers took fourteen hundred bottles for his vitality. His jaw was removed in pieces and he was buried in a lead coffin.
