if @elonmusk paid 100% of his net worth ($1.4 trillion) as a tax it would only cover federal government spending for 77 days. this isn’t a tax problem…

🚨Cenk Uygur just OBLITERATED Ben Shapiro live on Piers Morgan, exposing the donor class that BUYS American foreign policy.

UYGUR: "Miriam Adelson and her family paid over $317 MILLION to Trump's campaigns to make sure they got a war like this."

"I called it MIRIAM'S WAR. They got the war they ORDERED."

"Adelson and Larry Ellison used to donate to Bill Clinton before Trump. They don't care about Democrats or Republicans. Neither does Shapiro."

"They don't change their position on taxes, Social Security, healthcare. They ONLY change based on whether Trump is in favor of Israel's actions."

"They only care about their beloved Israel."

The truth is: jewish Zionists buy the wars. The pundit class sells them to you. Israel First. America Last.

Audit the foreign lobbies. Deport Ben Shapiro. Follow @EatDaBugs. 🦍 🟧

[Peter Daou @peterdaou]

What's your point? You want more war and carnage??

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

They’re just casually leaving out the reason he gave: Israel kills too many people.

253 children, 121 women among 1,000+ Gazans killed during cease-fire https://t.co/aqLXCvovdx

Thinking again about those 150 Iranian sailors who were slaughtered on their way back from India for absolutely nothing.

[Tamer Nahed @Tamer_Alnoaizy]

Suleiman Obeid, former Palestine national team player and known as the “Pelé of Palestine,” was killed while trying to obtain food for his five children.

One of Palestine’s most prominent football stars did not die on a football pitch or during a match; he was killed while searching for a meal to feed his children.

[Amir @AmirAminiMD]

It’s even more crazy how Iran fired thousands of “cheap” drones and missiles at several countries from thousands of miles away but not once accidentally hit a school, a university or a hospital.

It’s almost like their goal was defense & deterrence -not terror & ethnic cleansing.

Scratch a Dem...reveal a neocon.

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

On @TheYoungTurks, we've been telling our viewers for years that all of the fights in DC are fake. They're over culture war issues meant to divide us. But as soon as the donor class is affected, all of Washington and all of media rally to the donors' cause.

And right now, conveniently, there are pundits, so-called experts and politicians all over both Fox News and CNN pushing for more war. Two of the largest lobbies love this war - Israel and the defense contractors. And voila, CNN and Fox News magically agree.

These things are easily predicted because the news media isn't in the news business, they're in the propaganda business. That's why there's a script.

Once you know what's in the script, then you know what they're going to say before they say it.

Former Head of DEA: Israel has access to FISA-collected data on Americans thru fusion centers in the US. Intel about Americans which is not accessible to US law enforcement is accessible to Israel. Israel has been doing this & wants to formalize it under 5 Israel bills. He also says:
- Israel is top spy in US
- Israel spies on law enforcement
- Israeli spies are not prosecuted
- Israeli company Elbit Systems has 60 spy towers in Arizona

Westerners love to whine about how tyrannical and authoritarian Iran's government is, but it's worth noting that the control Tehran exerts within its borders is a major reason US-Israeli efforts to turn the nation into a giant Libya have failed. That control exists to thwart precisely the type of existential foreign threat that Iran just thwarted. Were it not for that existential foreign threat, such control wouldn't be necessary.

The US has openly admitted to deliberately fomenting the domestic unrest we saw in Iran earlier this year, and to attempting to arm insurgent factions. Those foreign threats were put down by precisely the "tyranny" you've seen western liberals and anarkiddies decrying in Iran all year.

The fact that the US-Israeli war failed to achieve the government-toppling goals set out by Washington and Tel Aviv means that Iran was able to inhibit the visibility that US and Israeli intelligence agencies had into the nation, because you only fail to accomplish a military objective you think you can accomplish if your enemy is able to surprise you. Countering US and Israeli intelligence operations, rooting out US and Israeli intelligence assets, blocking US and Israeli propaganda from domestic consumption, and obstructing US and Israeli visibility into Tehran's government and military could only be achieved by a strong government that's willing exert forceful control over what goes on inside its own borders.

Westerners like to point at the "authoritarianism" of the few remaining enemies of the US-centralized empire as though it proves that we're looking at a struggle between a beneficent and virtuous civilization and a bunch of evil tyrants, but really all it proves is that the only nations who are able to resist absorption into the imperial blob are the ones who are willing and able to exert control over what happens inside their borders. If the US and its allies weren't constantly working to subvert and topple all unabsorbed nations, this "authoritarianism" wouldn't be needed to resist it.

[MAGA Cult Slayer🦅🇺🇸 @MAGACult2]

Every American should be forced to watch this, knowing we did it. Our leaders aren’t even man enough to.admit it.

[Shaun King @shaunking]

The government of Lebanon just filed a formal complaint with the United Nations because Israel sprayed tens of thousands of pounds of poisonous cancer causing chemicals all over Lebanese farm lands.

If you still think this has ANYTHING to do with Hezbollah you're stupid.

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

Everyone arguing against peace right now in America actually works for Israel. This war was a dumb idea and no real American wants it. All it causes us is economic pain. The only people on earth who want it are the Israelis. So, if someone is arguing for it, they work for them.

[mark normand @marknorm]

This looks like a Disney movie where a 12 year old becomes president

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

Notice how no one in his administration dares disagree with Donald Trump on anything. Then when Israel wants it, all of a sudden, half his team is in open rebellion. And it's totally kosher to say he's wrong and defy him. Interesting rules.

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

CNN correspondent reports Israeli settlers damaged their vehicle while they were reporting in the West Bank.

[Zachary Foster @_ZachFoster]

Imagine if 8,000 Israeli Jews were missing to this day.

We’d get minute-by-minute updates on their status. We’d know the names of all 8,000 of them.

But because they are Palestinian …. mainstream media is totally indifferent …. they have been completely forgotten.

[Brave Report @BraveReport]

There is nothing a 19 year old, especially one I did not know, could ever say to me that would make me this rageful.

He could talk about my looks, my gender, my race, my ancestry, my personality, even my immediate family and it would never have this effect on me.

Something is seriously mentally wrong when tons of powerful grown adults’ first instinct is to shift into a collective effort to make sure this 19 year old is punished indefinitely. A healthy society does not encourage this kind of vindictiveness.
