Sanctions and Wars diminish the world’s preference for the US dollar as a unit of exchange and inflation hits harder when we lose our reserve currency status. We talked about this on @jimmy_dore’s show:
@bitcoins1stlady@AbbyMartin My frustration is the amount they have been protected by calling anybody and everybody antisemitic if they don’t agree. Sure antisemitism is real, but it has also been used as a weapon to discredit criticism of Israel.
"The moment I realised Israeli society was fully fascist"
Journalist and filmmaker @AbbyMartin shares her experience speaking to everyday Israeli citizens in 2017, and explains how genocidal rhetoric has now gone mainstream in the country.
Israel does not want peace, Israel wants Palestine, a piece of Lebanon, and a piece of Syria.
It's extraordinary that Israel can go on a mass murder and steal land from three neighboring countries simultaneously while you will look us dead in the eye and say Israel wants peace.
I have this deep feeling in my gut, Israel will cash the check of dying instead of worshiping Israel. Or at least they will try. Gotta be watchful of blowback always.
American activist Carrie Prejean Boller:
“People have been brainwashed into worshipping Israel, including Christians and many other groups.
I would rather die than worship Israel, a genocidal state carrying out genocide against innocent Palestinians.”
Francesca Albanese: "Israel has unveiled its vision for Palestine-which is none. No Palestine between the river and the sea. The genocide is a state enterprise. The apartheid is a state enterprise. There is no good Israel and bad Israel -it's all Israel. Sanction Israel. Isolate Israel. Cut trade. No more arms. The Nakba has never been over."
Albanese-the UN Special Rapporteur-just delivered the most brutal diagnosis of Israel's project.
This is not about Netanyahu. This is not about the far-right. This is Israel
“Our village has turned into a prison.”
Raids, arbitrary detentions and constant fear now mark the daily lives of thousands of Lebanese under Israeli occupation.
While the Israeli army has razed Shia villages to the ground, it has allowed a handful of Christian and Sunni villages to remain inside the area it occupies, under strict rules that legal experts say violate international law.
We visited one of these villages, Kfarchouba.

No one can afford a house.
Most can't even afford RENT.
SOME are living in their CARS.
People are maxed out on their credit cards.
The job market sucks.
Gas is $4.50 a gallon.
The housing market is in free fall.
Consumers are having to FINANCE their fucking GROCERIES like a CAR NOTE and Trump says he deserves a 150% approval rating.
He is laughing directly in your face.
