looks like a fine idea;


let us know where you stand on this point.. the mango mussolini is an israeli stooge;


LD:  Admire Trump as much as you want, but at least have the honesty to admit  that the man is a Zionist stooge who loves Israel, like most American Jews, more than he loves America. Having moved the American embassy to Jerusalem and decided that the Golan Heights, contrary to international law, should be ceded to Israel, Trump now goes one step further in stating that Israel should be exempt from the judgments of the International Criminal Court. In other words, Israel must not be held responsible for its war crimes. It needs to be “aggressive” for its own good and is therefore beyond international law. Give Trump a chance and he will soon be telling us that “Evil is good”, at least when Israel does it. (LD)

“Bibi, my friend . . .”

“Israel is very special to me. A special country, a special people. We are very much in favor of what Israel does. They are aggressive and they have no choice but to be aggressive. Bibi, my friend .  . . we are with Israel 100 per cent” — Quote from video below.........https://russia-insider.com/en/grovel-grovel-trump-licks-netanyahus-boots-and-declares-undying-love-aggressive-israel/ri26817

mr hornberger tells you the reality of freedom here in the empire and i suspect you haven't thought about these things that much;


In 1978, an old high-school friend of mine gave me a book to read entitled A Time for Truth by William Simon, who had served as Secretary of the Treasury from 1974 to 1977. After reading the book, I told my friend that I had found it to be interesting but also that I had found Simon’s preoccupation with restoring liberty to America somewhat weird given that the United States was already a free country.
Like most other Americans, I attended public schools, which, of course, was run by government officials. That was where I was indoctrinated, along with everyone else, into believing that I lived in a free country. I was among millions of other children who were required to stand every morning to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, which included the phrase “with liberty and justice for all.”
By the time I graduated high school, my indoctrination was complete. I had absolutely no doubt that I lived in a free country. I’d venture to say that the same is true for 99 percent of other students who attend America’s public schools. They graduate convinced that they live in a free country and oftentimes live the rest of their lives with that mindset.
But it’s a lie, as I learned several months after reading Simon’s book, when I discovered libertarianism in a series of books entitled Essays on Liberty, which The Foundation for Economic Education had published some 20 years before. As I began reading the essays in those books, the scales began falling from my eyes.
I realized that I had been lied to since the first grade. The United States is not a free country and the American people are not a free people. They just believe they are, owing primarily to the indoctrination they receive in public school or, oftentimes, in government-licensed private schools......https://www.fff.org/2019/04/19/americas-life-of-the-lie/
found this quote below and the last link will take you there. it makes sense to me but the true believers will have some troubles with it;


Here are excerpts from a recent Sunday school lesson taught by Jimmy Carter, the only president in our lifetimes to have taken seriously the Fifth Commandment. Had he been willing to kill in order to free the American hostages in Iran Carter would have been a two-term president.

“The United States is the most warlike nation in the history of the world… Since 1979, do you know how many times China has been at war with anybody? None, and we have stayed at war… We have wasted, I think, $3 trillion on military spending. It’s more than you can imagine. China has not wasted a single penny on war, and that’s why they’re ahead of us. In almost every way… “And I think the difference is if you take $3 trillion and put it in American infrastructure you’d probably have $2 trillion leftover. We’d have high-speed railroad. We’d have bridges that aren’t collapsing, we’d have roads that are maintained properly. Our education system would be as good as that of say South Korea or Hong Kong.”........http://badattitudes.com/MT/

PARTICIPATING IN A GUN BUY-BACK PROGRAM BECAUSE YOU THINK CRIMINALS HAVE TOO MANY GUNS IS LIKE HAVING YOURSELF CASTRATED BECAUSE YOU THINK YOUR NEIGHBORS HAVE TOO MANY KIDS.

kunstler describes the bullshit that was the mueller investigation clearly in a few words and leads us to hope the 'investigation' will go in reverse and capture those who created this fiction in the first place. any takers on if and/or when this might commence?;


After two years of gaslighting the public while it blew smoke up America’s ass, the Jacobin news media enjoyed its final feeding frenzy with the release of the 400-page Mueller report. They expected 1000 pounds of raw filet mignon, but it turned out to be tofu fried in olestra. The ensuing fugue of hyperventilating hysteria was also duly expected and William Barr stoically endured their hebephrenic peevings at the release ceremony — a press conference which itself offended the media.
The threats and raving continued all the livelong day and far into the peeper-filled night with CNN’s Chris Cuomo blustering “It’s time to rumble,” and the lugubrious hack David Gergen muttering soulfully, “This was not fake news,” and The Times’ Maggie Haberman fuming that the White House had played the “Nazi anthem” Edelweiss — very fake news, it turned out, since the tune was written for Rodgers’ and Hammerstein’s 1959 Broadway show, The Sound of Music (and sung by the anti-Nazi hero Baron von Trapp). Meanwhile Rachel Maddow had the balls to confab in prime time with disgraced former FBI mandarin Andy McCabe, officially identified as a liar by his own colleagues at the agency. What a circus of perfidious freakery!
Understand that the Mueller Report itself was the mendacious conclusion to a deceitful investigation, the purpose of which was to conceal the criminal conduct of US government officials meddling in the 2016 election, in collusion with the Hillary Clinton campaign, to derail Mr. Trump’s campaign, and then disable him when he managed to win the election. Mr. Mueller was theoretically trying to save the FBI’s reputation, but he may have only succeeded in injuring it more gravely.
The whole wicked business began as a (failed) entrapment scheme using shadowy US Intel “assests” Stefan Halper and Joseph Mifsud to con small fish Papadopoulos and Carter Page into incriminating themselves (they declined to be conned) and moved on to ploys like the much-touted Trump Tower meeting to ensnare Trump Junior and then to several efforts (also failed) to flip Paul Manafort, and Michael Cohen — the final product of which was an epic failure to find one instance of real chargeable criminal collusion between anyone connected to Mr. Trump and Russia..........https://kunstler.com/clusterfuck-nation/an-empire-of-bullshit/
