Somewhere in hell, James Buchanan and Woodrow Wilson are celebrating:

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

Biden stands down, and will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the US's worst ever presidents.

Besides the obvious fact that his mind was gone, he unconditionally supported one of the worst atrocities in modern times in Gaza, helped trigger and fuel the biggest war on the European continent since WW2 (with hundreds of thousands of deads), and he almost certainly gave the order to bomb Nordstream, an act of war against Europe. On top of driving up tensions needlessly with China, trying to stop their technological development and to impoverish 1.4 billion people, driving up the US debt to insane levels (the president under whom interest payments on debt overtook the defense budget), and so on and so forth...

All around disaster, for both the US and the world: a very dark chapter - yet another one - in US history...

[Dr. Butch Ware @ButchWare]

‘Butch doesn’t even have ballot access.’
Any ‘leftist’ that repeated that was running cover and carrying water for Dems.

In 2022, Matthew Hoh, a former military whistleblower who protested the war in Afghanistan was disqualified from the ballot in his Green senate run when Dem operatives impersonated Green Party officials and called signatories telling them that Hoh was withdrawing from the race.

Today, Dems moved to disqualify Pete Karas from the ballot in Wisconsin.

In 2024 Democrats spent 6x more suing Greens off of ballots than the total Stein/Ware campaign budget.

Develop some pattern recognition.

My campaign followed the rules and regulations- to the letter. But Team Blue genocide counts on libs; ‘progressives,’ and even ‘leftists’ to run pro bono psyops for them.

And some folks fall right in line.

Humanity has no idea how much it owes this man. But I will tell you that without him, with a less calm and measured Russian president in Moscow over the past 20 years, someone more corrupt, more nationalistic or more triggered by Western provocation and infiltration attempts, the whole world would have burned already.

The West has been playing with fire like crazy; the fact that this amazingly strong character has been at the center of power in the Global South for an entire generation may have saved humanity from untold disasters.

The fact that we still have a functioning international system, and global economy is only thanks to the quality of leadership in the Global South - Russia and China primarily. If it depended in Western Zionist wanker psychopaths, the whole world would be Gaza already

NEW: The main U.S. air war command center in the Middle East suffered a direct hit soon after the war with Iran began and was severely damaged, sources tell Air & Space Forces Magazine. The Combined Air Operations Center at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar was hit by Iranian missiles. A secondary facility in South Carolina filled the gap. https://t.co/S1fqF1e2DW

About 60 days ago your President killed 160 schoolgirls for Israel

[Wyatt Reed @wyattreed13]

I’m not sure this is understood in the West, so I want to emphasize:

Al Risala are Lebanese *Boy Scouts.*

They belong to the Lebanese Scouting Federation, the local affiliate of the World Organization of the Scout Movement.

The US affiliate is the Boy Scouts of America.

After Al Risala Scouts turn 18, they often become Scout leaders who serve as EMTs, firefighters, and search-and-rescue teams.

In the past 2 months, Israel has killed 27 Al Risala Scouts, Troop leaders, and associated young adult rescue workers.

Here are some of young Scouts killed by Israel. Neither the Boy Scouts of America nor the World Organization of the Scout Movement have condemned their murders.

For over two years, Democratic Congressmember Adam Smith has voted to send tens of billions of dollars for the Israeli state's genocide in Gaza.

In December, Adam Smith championed a bill to give Trump $906 billion for wars.

Last week, Adam Smith proudly introduced a bill for over a trillion NEW dollars for war. The bill would also fuse the U.S. and Israeli militaries and shockingly escalate AI, cyber, and biotech weaponry for Israel.

Adam Smith's biggest funder has been Zionist lobby group AIPAC.

He is the #1 Democrat recipient in the House of Palantir donations and weapons industry money as a whole.

That same Adam Smith says that "the solution is to come up with a national security strategy that doesn't require you to have a 1.6 trillion dollar defense budget."

This guy deserves formal recognition as Orwellian "war is peace" genocidal politician of the year.

But the corporate media does not even comment on his bald-faced lies. None of the so-called progressive Democrats call him out.

Just goes to show how rotten the capitalist system is, as are its agents, the Democratic and Republican parties.

I'm running as an independent revolutionary antiwar socialist. Join my campaign to win this election and throw warmonger Adam Smith out of office.

Did You Notice This?

Israel attacked Iran's energy infrastructure.

Iran attacked Israel's energy infrastructure.

Israel attacked Iran's nuclear facility.

Iran attacked Israel's nuclear facility.

Israel attacked schools, universities and hospitals in Iran.

But Iran didn't attack a single school, university or hospitals in Israel

Jacobin magazine, the principal mouthpiece of the leadership of the Democratic Socialists of America, today released a hit piece on Amazon labor leader Chris Smalls, @Shut_downAmazon.

It could be legit if Jacobin had had an honest critique of Smalls to clarify what class struggle unionist leaders should be doing. But the article is not that at all.

It’s a hatchet job against a leading labor activist who has refused to toe the line of the DSA and the business unionist labor leaders who give cover to the so-called progressive Democrats and to the Democratic Party as a whole, despite shocking betrayals by them against working people.

The crux of the real reason why Jacobin went after Smalls is contained in this sentence: “[Smalls] blames the two-party system for the state of the American labor movement…”

Smalls is spot on about this and the need to break from the Democratic and Republican parties. We need a new party of the working class.

The DSA leadership, on the other hand, sees giving cover to the Democratic Party as job number one. The Democratic Party is the party under whom the genocide in Gaza began and which engineered the breaking of the railroad workers’ strike — both under President Joe Biden. ALL Democrats in the House, including DSA star AOC voted to break the strike. The Democratic Party is one of the two most powerful capitalist parties in the world, and in no way represents working people or the oppressed.

Business unionist labor leaders are those who have made peace with the capitalist system and are driven by protecting their careers, which means placating the bosses, not organizing the rank and file against the bosses to win substantive working-class victories. Refusing to fight the bosses also means aligning with the parties of the bosses, like the Democratic Party.

The overwhelming majority of the labor leadership today is business unionist, with some crucial exceptions like Smalls. We need a reckoning in the labor movement.

Brother Smalls has put his life on the line for the antiwar movement in solidarity with the Palestinia people against the Israeli state’s genocide bankrolled by both the Democratic and Republican parties. Smalls went on a Gaza aid flotilla carrying food, baby formula, diapers and medicine in the context of catastrophic levels of mass starvation in Gaza. The flotilla was attacked by the Israeli military, who physically assaulted Smalls, and kicked and choked him.

In contrast, AOC has voted for the Iron Dome which is part of the Israeli state’s genocidal apparatus.

For having the temerity to expose AOC and other self-described “progressive” politicians, Smalls is called “narcissistic” by Jacobin, a term the magazine’s editors were apparently forced to retract after they got huge amounts of flak on all social media.

Personal attacks and character assassination like in this case are often used by the political establishment’s spokespeople as proxy for their real objections — in this case, the threat they feel from Smalls openly calling out the Democratic Party’s actual role.

The only way of rebuilding a militant labor movement is to pose a concrete threat to both the Democratic and Republican parties, which in turn requires a challenge to the business unionist labor leadership. That is the basis on which I won the nation’s highest minimum wage and the Amazon Tax during the decade I was the sole socialist on the Seattle City Council.

I am now running as an independent revolutionary socialist against genocidal Democrat Adam Smith. I am calling for an end to all military aid to Israel and an end to all weapons and tech for genocide and imperialist war. https://t.co/sh3zyhgTI7

🧵"Desidero che la Papamobile venga trasformata in una clinica mobile e donata ai bambini di Gaza"
Questa è una delle ultime volontà di Papa Francesco prima di morire.
Ad eseguire la disposizione di Papa Francesco, il Vaticano incarica il cardinale svedese Anders Arborelius che a sua volta incarica la Caritas svedese per la trasformazione del veicolo.

Quando la stampa dà la notizia dell'incarico alla Caritas svedese di trasformare la Papamobile in clinica mobile per i bambini di Gaza, scatta la solidarietà dei cittadini svedesi che in pochi giorni inviano alla Caritas cospicue donazioni.

Grazie alle somme raccolte, la Caritas, non solo riesce a trasformare la Papamobile in una clinica mobile fornita di attrezzature mediche di ultima generazione, ma acquista altre 12 ambulanze da inviare a Gaza.

A novembre dello scorso anno, quando i lavori sulla Papamobile sono ultimati, per celebrare l'evento e assolvere all'ultima volontà di Papa Francesco, il Vaticano sceglie Betlemme, la città simbolo per eccellenza della cristianità, la città dove nacque Cristo.
In Piazza della Mangiatoia, il cardinale Anders Arborelius benedice la Papamobile e le ambulanze in partenza verso Gaza.
La Papamobile viene rinominata "Veicolo della Speranza".

Passano giorni, settimane e poi mesi ma gli occupanti israeliani non consentono alla Caritas di fare entrare il Veicolo della Speranza a Gaza.
I rappresentanti del Vaticano e della Caritas chiedono più volte spiegazioni ma Israele si prende gioco di loro inventando storie assurde.
"Non è pervenuta alcuna richiesta di autorizzazione"
E poi ancora: "I materiali sanitari all'interno della Papamobile potrebbero finire nelle mani di Hamas ed essere usati come armi".

E intanto la Papamobile, trasformata in un gioiello della tecnologia medica, in grado di curare 200 bambini al giorno, è ancora lì, dopo sette mesi, sotto una teca in un parcheggio a pochi metri da Piazza della Mangiatoia in attesa di raggiungere i bambini di Gaza.

In uno stupendo articolo scritto dal cardinale Arborelius su ICN, Independent Catholic News (*link nel primo commento) il cardinale si rivolge alle autorità israeliane, chiede, quasi supplica, di lasciare entrare il Veicolo della Speranza ma non rinuncia a scrivere: "Negare le cure mediche ai bambini significa oltrepassare un limite morale che dovrebbe turbare tutti".

Limite morale che non turba i leader politici occidentali che ostentano senza ritegno la loro fede cristiana ma restano in un vile silenzio mentre la colonia di plastica denominata Israele umilia il Vaticano prendendosi gioco delle ultime volontà di un Papa.
Che schifo!

Hezbollah incapacitated 5 IDF officers and 3 soldiers this morning in one attack: 1 officer dead + 4 seriously injured, and 3 soldiers seriously injured as well. The IDF is losing close to 50 soldiers and officers in Lebanon every week now (based on a conservative estimation of appx 9 soldiers physically/psychologically incapacitated for every fatality). This is crazy unsustainable. I have no idea what their plan is, and I don't think they do either, but if Hezbollah maintains this pace for 3-4 more months, Israel will have little to no capable land force remaining. And that's before Syria and the West Bank begin their own, final Intifada
