To the young Americans who may soon die in another useless Imperial War - A message sent to me from a Vietnam Veteran:

“Vietnam was the graveyard of my youth. I survived physically but the moral injury defined the rest of my life.

Vietnam was a fraudulent war, without meaning, without honor. We were suckers who sacrificed for nothing.

I used to think I was a war criminal, but I have come to realize that the real criminals were the people who promoted the war and profited from it, and the people who acquiesced with whatever the politicians told them.

This is still true with the current wars. All I can do is bear witness to the reality of war for newer generations.”

This is legitimately one of the nastiest and most maliciously false tweets I have ever seen on Twitter and it got 120,000 retweets

Every single thing @jk_rowling says here is at once false and vile *and she knows it*

This tweet alone is throw-out-all-your-Harry-Potter-books bad

In a new letter to President Joe Biden, Dr. Jill Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, 45 American doctors and nurses share their firsthand, on-the-ground experience from the Gaza Strip. They included probative evidence that "the human toll in Gaza is far higher than is understood in the United States. " -R

Tomorrow, July 24, 2024, is a Congressional Day of Infamy. Netanyahu, a mass murderer of over 300,000 innocent Palestinian children, women and men—continuing his daily bombardment and starvation of the dying, homeless, defenseless Gazan population—is set to address a joint session of Congress.

My thoughts on Biden dropping out:

Joe Biden was discarded by the same billionaire class he assiduously served throughout his political career. Barely able to stumble his way through the words on a Teleprompter and not always cognizant of what is happening around him, his billionaire supporters pulled the plug. He was their creature – he has been in federal office for 47 years - from start to finish. He was used as a foil to defeat Bernie Sanders in the 2020 primaries and was anointed as the candidate in 2024 in a Soviet-style primary campaign. The billionaire class will now anoint someone else. Democratic Party voters are stage props in this political farce. Donald Trump, unlike Kamala Harris or any other apparatchik the billionaire class selects as a presidential candidate, has a genuine and committed base, however fascistic.

In Hitler and the Germans, the political philosopher Eric Vogelin dismisses the idea that Hitler — gifted in oratory and political opportunism but poorly educated and vulgar — mesmerized and seduced the German people. The Germans, he writes, supported Hitler and the “grotesque, marginal figures” surrounding him because he embodied the pathologies of a diseased society, one beset by economic collapse and hopelessness. Voegelin defines stupidity as a “loss of reality.” The loss of reality means a “stupid” person cannot “rightly orient his action in the world, in which he lives.” The demagogue, who is always an idiote, is not a freak or social mutation. The demagogue expresses the society’s zeitgeist.

Biden and the Democratic Party are responsible for this zeitgeist. They orchestrated the deindustrialization of the United States, ensuring that 30 million workers lost their jobs in mass layoffs. As I write in America, The Farewell Tour, this assault on the working class created a crisis that forced the ruling elites to devise a new political paradigm. Trumpeted by a compliant media, this paradigm shifted its focus from the common good to race, crime and law and order. Biden was at the epicenter of this paradigm shift. Those undergoing profound economic and political change were told that their suffering stemmed not from rampant militarism and corporate greed but from a threat to national integrity. The old consensus that buttressed New Deal programs and the welfare state was attacked as enabling criminal Black youth, “welfare queens” and other alleged social parasites. This opened the door to a faux populism, begun by Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, which supposedly championed family values, traditional morality, individual autonomy, law and order, the Christian faith and the return to a mythical past, at least for white Americans. The Democratic Party, especially under Bill Clinton and Biden, became largely indistinguishable from the establishment Republican Party to which it is now allied.

The Democratic Party refuses to accept its responsibility for the capture of democratic institutions by a rapacious oligarchy, the grotesque social inequality, the cruelty of predatory corporations and an unchecked militarism. The Democrats will anoint another amoral politician, probably Harris, to use as a mask for outsized corporate greed, the folly of endless war, the facilitation of genocide and the assault on our most basic civil liberties. The Democrats, tools of Wall Street, gave us Trump, and the 74 million people who voted for him in 2020. They look set to give us Trump again. God help us.

Just so I understand what's happening, major media has been misquoting people, misstating polls, and misframing stories for two weeks to get Joe Biden out of the White House, but it's not even going to *look into* the Epstein documents just released, which include the one below?

[Ralph Nader @RalphNader]

The hate group @AIPAC—with pro-Netanyahu money—has dollarized the cowardly nest of the Democratic establishment to endorse a corporate challenger to a leading progressive House Democrat, @JamaalBowmanNY in the June 25 primary. This includes cowards on @TheBlackCaucus. Bowman’s sterling record for the people against corporate predators is sabotaged for Netanyahu’s genocidal slaughter of Palestinians, including tens of thousands of children and women. -R

[Ralph Nader @RalphNader]

Why is Biden spending nearly $500 million to erect a troubled pier on the Israeli coast to get humanitarian aid through in an inefficient manner when all he has to do is put an American flag on hundreds of trucks everyday (that the U.S. pays for) with food, medicine, water and other essentials that are being blocked by the Israeli government? https://t.co/A1prSpxniJ

[Ralph Nader @RalphNader]

Mass murderer and war criminal Netanyahu has been invited by both party leaders to address the joint session of Congress on July 24th. An ongoing bomber— killing tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians, mostly children and women—a politician under indictment by Israeli prosecutors for domestic corruption, and a defier of Biden’s recent demand for ceasefire, Netanyahu is despised by 3 out of every 4 Israelis. Yet obeisant Congressional politicians are doing his bidding by arranging for a bipartisan hoopla. -R

[Greg Stoker @gregjstoker]

You’ll never get politicians to care about +15k murdered children, but you can appeal to their selfish interests in protecting US global interests.

Thought I’d experiment with that rhetoric at city hall as a test run…

[Ralph Nader @RalphNader]

Rep. Elise Stefanik (@RepStefanik), a virulent anti-semite against the Arabs of Palestine, left her duties in Congress to fly over and talk to members of the Israeli Knesset. By contrast, she refuses to have town meetings with an expanding number of citizens of NY-21 who are calling her out for being against raising the minimum wage, against Medicare for all and many other long overdue improvements in her district. See the latest Capitol Hill Citizen, pg. 26 for details. https://t.co/gsEGI9Jidk -R

(THREAD) It’s important that everyone RETWEET this thread. As some of you know, Elon Musk has been on a deranged tear trying to destroy one of the most reliable news sources in the world, REUTERS. The recent reports in this thread are the ones Musk doesn’t want *anyone* to share.
