its all dependent on where you stand, as it were. mandates are a curious opposition to free markets which we're always told is what we have, but don't really; 

Donald Trump has been denouncing the mandates forcing electric vehicles onto the “market” – in air fingers quotes to make a point of the absurdity of using that word to describe forcing people to buy things. In part by forcing things people want to buy off the market.

He’s right to denounce the EV mandates – this forcing off the market of vehicles people can afford and are willing to buy using their own money so as to force them into having no other choice but to buy an electric vehicle they don’t want and probably can’t afford anyhow (the average transaction price of an EV – one that isn’t a subcompact such as the Chevy Bolt – is nearly $50,000) using other people’s money to help pay for it.

It’s wrong in principle – and it’s disastrous in effect...........more.........

this is a good example of how the empire requires you to 'toe the line' on the official tale or risk being ostracized as is the practice in this land when there's a story to be told; 

In a statement that now appears to have been deleted from her official government website, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) condemned Israel for the recent attacks by Hamas, citing "the apartheid system" that Israel has created for Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip.

After writing that she grieves the Palestinian and Israeli lives lost "yesterday, today and every day," Tlaib wrote that she is "determined as ever to fight for a just future where everyone can live in peace, without fear and with true freedom, equal rights and human dignity."

"The path to that future must include lifting the blockade, ending the occupation and dismantling the apartheid system that creates the suffocating, dehumanizing conditions that can lead to resistance," Tlaid wrote.

"The failure to recognize the violent reality of living under siege, occupation and apartheid makes no one safer. No person, no child anywhere should have to suffer or live in fear of violence. We cannot ignore the humanity in each other. As long as our country provides billions in unconditional funding to support the apartheid government, this heartbreaking cycle of violence will continue."

Tlaib's message was not received well from those who support Israel, and who say that she is wrongly blaming Israel for this series of attacks against its own people. One source to condemn her is The Gateway Pundit (TGP), who called her "a sick, sick woman" for Tlaib's apparently now-deleted statement.

"This was the largest mass murder of Jews in one day since the Holocaust in World War II," wrote TGP's Jim Hoft..........more.......

 the latest arab israeli war will be an unknown proposition until the dust clears. it is not well known in the empire how much the israeli's have fully earned all that they're getting and more but when you turn on your tv all you get from all sources is the 'official' story. here is a bit of a different take;

The hypocrisy of this statement is breathtaking. While fluffing his orthodox masters Netanyahu turned truth and three generations of factual war crimes by Israel on its head.

Every example listed- and far too many more- has been utilized by the revolving door of nefarious and pandering Israeli stewards as routine weapons against Palestinians- north and south- for generations. That Hamas, this past Saturday, has scored for its people a massive, historic and Hizballah-like victory against this relentless oppression is an irony not lost on the proper conscience of man, the Palestinians and all world citizens.

Bibi missed the joke. Well, he’s getting it now.

To understand the necessity for the current military operation by Hamas, it is important to refer to the victory by Hamas against Israel in 2014 and the commander whose leadership and tactics achieved that sacrificial victory.

Sadly, that military and potentially political victory was short-lived; cast aside by Israel and ignored by world leaders once the inconvenient dust of humanity had settled from their minds.

It was at this moment that Hamas began to prepare. Again.

That victory nine years ago, and this Saturday’s very successful opening salvo,by Hamas have Israel and the world scrambling in shock. Both these successes can be attributed directly to the leadership of the “Lion of Palestine.”...........more........

 the video rebel is back with several items to consider as is the rebels' method;

 

Egypt warned the Israelis that Hamas was planning something and warned them 9 days prior to their attack in the desert. Egypt has had problems with Hamas in the past. It should not be forgotten that Egyptian President, Abed al-Fattah al-Sisi, is Jewish. (His mother, Malikah Titani, is a Moroccan Jew from Asefi, which makes al-Sisi also Jewish. His uncle served in the Haganah and was an aide to Ben Gurion. Al-Sisi had served as the Egyptian military’s liaison with Israel. (Kevin Barrett, Veteran’s Today)

Our first Pearl Harbor occurred on December 7, 1941. This was after the Emperor of Japan had attempted to surrender to President Roosevelt in 1936 offering to pull out of China and break his treaty with Hitler. The Emperor even offered to become an ally against the Communists which is something FDR did not want. He wanted to expand Communism and hence Globalism.

That 20 million Chinese and 480,000 Japanese soldiers died in China during WW II was of no consequence to the Globalists. They wanted war. Netanyahu also wants war. He wants to eliminate Gaza and Palestine from the map and he needed atrocities to fuel the fire. He even showed a map of the Middle East to the UN General Assembly without Palestine.

It was Netanyahu who allowed Jewish settlers to attack worshipers at Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. This has been know to intelligence officers around the world as a Red Flag that would provoke a response from the Palestinians. It was as if Israel was following FDR’s playbook from 1941.............more.........
