Most of us live better than 80% of the world.

In some ways you are correct, but gerrymandering, by both parties, is State based. The problem of corruption, using legal donations is universal, but the players are definitely different locally, Statewide and Nationally. Healthcare in the USA is double other developed countries, with consistently worse outcomes, often because without insurance you get no care. US insulin prices $300, England $30, Africa $3, for the same thing. The US has come down from $600, not very long ago.

If Americans didn’t have to listen to the same stupid ads, over and over again, their lives would improve immediately.

If they realized they don’t have to pay a cable company $120/month to blast that bullshit in their ears, they might be happier. But most don’t know any better, let alone that it is not permitted in some socialist countries.

TV ads are so annoying I cannot watch TV without a recorder. Internet ads are even worse. Fuck Google and Facebook.

I wasn’t born yesterday. I know life isn’t fair. I know Family Courts hate men but still want to take all the money they have. But I would rather deal with that than get shot or thrown in jail for little or no reason.

Poor Steve Sailor, everybody is picking on him. He’s completely helpless and can’t do anything to help himself, like work harder. It’s so sad.

How are so many words meaningful when an otherwise well fought game by both sides has to end with a meaningless shootout. They should just keep playing until a winner emerges from actual play.

Leave it to another racist to draw spurious conclusions from such a boring finish.

It’s impossible to win a professional football game without mixing race. Your hatred is showing.

Let’s rewrite history. Let’s pretend we are God’s chosen people and deserve everything we have taken by force. There is no sense in visiting this issue from any other perspective. Besides, everyone knows everything that is wrong in this world can be pinned on the Jews, like Catholic pedophiles and Ted Bundy.

It is perfectly reasonable to view Russia’s current developments as purely defensive. Their behavior has evolved considerably between Stalin and Putin, especially during Gorbachev’s rule. Neighboring States are still afraid of Russian intervention and brutal domination. But, it isn’t really much different than the way the USA has treated the Western Hemisphere.

The US military industrial complex demands an enemy to remain profitable and Russia and China fit that bill, each in their own way. Perpetual war with hi-tech expensive weapons is not sustainable on terrorist enemies alone. Lets hope a bill introduced in the Senate by the odd combination of Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Mike Lee (R-Utah) who are supporting the National Security Powers Act gains some much needed traction.

You conclude, “the balance of scientific evidence overwhelming points against the Wuhan lab being the source, except you initially stated, “The bat virus..is RaTG13, and indeed that’s a closest match to Covid, about 96% genetically similar and in the virus collection of the Wuhan lab researchers since around 2012. It’s certainly the best candidate for being the initial starting point of a bioengineered Covid virus”, which is a source…

I am not in a position to dispute your 96% claim. I thought the lab record in Wuhan said it was a match. But, in either case State criminal behavior, very difficult to prove, cannot be ruled out. Eight years between 2012 1nd 2020, but no one in health care was looking for, much less identifying this beast in the public sector. So this virus could have been killing people before it was noticed and identified in Wuhan.

Rand Paul officially accused Fauci of covering up Lab engineering of Covid-19. Fauci then accused Paul of “not knowing what he is talking about.” …then on the MSM the sound stopped after Fauci said, “impossible”.

The plot thickens

These labs need to be shut down by international treaty. Still thinking they have the upper hand, the USA is loath to engage in treaty negotiations with anyone.

The CIA and FBI must remain secretive because they are absolutely treasonous. I mean in the strict legal and definition sense. I am sure the thugs working for those agencies justify it as “international cooperation under congressional and executive directives and oversight. Because they are just as happy to commit treason under color of law as the oligarch puppets are.

The reasons the puppets are so effective and there are so many of them is that the puppet masters don’t really have to manipulate them at all. The puppets willingly dance around on a bare minimum of clues handed down from various institutions and media arms. Couple that with compartmentalization and top down structure and thousands of crimes can be committed daily by people convinced they are serving their country.

Neither plan is democratic equality under the law. If you believe only rich people have the right to make policy then you must be happy with the way things are because DC has no intention of ever implementing popular issues.

But then why continue to pretend we are a democracy and even worse wage endless wars claiming to desire to establish democracy? It is a excellent way to manage the millions of people disatisfied with our government for the few, the rich, the more deserving. Pretend the people’s vote matters.

Another USAytack on a foreign power is not out of the question, but it is based on a compilation of circumstantial evidence, consistent with proven behaviors of the unaccountable unelected deep State that our elected officials are afraid of.

On the other hand there is strong scientific evidence the first outbreak was on 6 miners shoveling bat guano in 2012, three of whom died. Viral samples were preserved in Wuhan using a different name. But they match the Vivid genome.

If these facts can be disproven, the Evil US conspiracy Becomes the explanation most consistent with historical events.

Since this is the only place to comment on PCR’s combination of economic brilliance and Covid nonsense here goes.

Trump is the personification of hate speech fueling a spike in national violence. But that potential for violence predates Trump and is rooted in the failure of our duopoly to “promote the general welfare”, which is their constitutional duty.

It is absolutely true that in the USA heavily regulated Democrat controlled States have not fared better than uncontrolled GOP States. There are two reasons for this. We have mostly open borders and no national policy. Travel hubs and denser populations like NYC, Atlanta and LS incur greater spread risks.

But vaccination is the only path which offers a long term solution. Thank Trump for fast tracking it. Thank fast tracking for increasing risks. At least four vaccinations have been developed which do not rely on new mRNA technology, but they are not available in the USA, where only US approved suppliers can distribute the medication. It is ironic that Trump’s followers are the most suspicious of Trump’s vaccines. Especially when you discover Trump and his wife quietly got vaccinated.

That is a correct observation. Flu cases dropped because the same isolation and mask wearing that reduces Vivid spread works even better for the flu.

Twelve tribes doesn’t go back far enough. We are all descendants of Lucy, but that’s only 3.6 million years ago. About 4 billion years ago we were just a microorganism in a thermal vent.

We have had one party rule since JP Morgan, Rockefeller, Rothschild and their ilk pushed through the Federal Reserve, in its current construct, as a private corporation. Accountable to Congress in theory, but not as a practical matter. Since JFK was assassinated the problem has grown exponentially.

The CIA is an agent of the ruling Oligarchy, which conspires routinely with organized crime to transport drugs internationally and seeks to extract the wealth from small resource rich countries by hook or crook. They are un-elected officials, predominantly conservative fanatical anti-communists, that intimidate and run rip-shod over our elected officials.

The Republican base, like the Democrats, varies slightly over time but is never less than 25%. Democrats are never less than 30%. The rest prefer to be know as Independents, because the duopoly disgusts them, but are usually forced to pick one or the other of the duopoly. No Independent has surpassed Ross Perot, who won 20% of the electorate.

The duopoly only cares about collecting money to give to advertisers to bullshit us with. They couldn’t care less what policy the majority of Americans support.

For most of our lifetimes elections have been surprisingly close. Political battles are about swaying Independents left or right with virtually no attention paid to proven causes and effects of policy. Character assassination is the American way of campaigning.

There is a built in flaw in our Democracy, where everyone’s vote does not have equal weight. In Presidential campaigns the popular vote doesn’t count. Gerrymandering and the electoral college frequently reverse outcomes based on a popular vote.

Republicans have a small growing disadvantage as the population ages. But they are better funded and better organized than Democrats. Since, 2000 their election cheating tactics have been obvious to the most casual observer. In the majority of States which they control, they change voting rules constantly, focusing on making it more difficult for poor people to vote and to count the votes of poor people. True to form, while doing this, they accuse the Democrats of cheating.

George Bush won 2000 thanks to Jeb Bush and Kathleen Harris purging a targeted number of poor voters in known Democrat strongholds. Gore still actually won Florida, but a Republican majority in SCOTUS overruled that by canceling a legitimate recount. Prior to that unpunished crime, proprietary voting machine software was giving an edge to Republicans, a practice which has been substantially eliminated.

Trump won 2016 thanks to gerrymandering, the electoral college and dirty tricks, some perfectly legal, in Republican controlled States. When so many people were tired of the orange con-artist, it failed to repeat, even though the election was still close. So Trump immediately claimed Democrats cheated and many of his followers still believe this. What actually happened was enough people recognized Trump’s ego is not the only thing that matters in our lives. Four years of hate filled nonsense is enough.

Any claim to being the greatest democracy in the world is laughable, an international scandal. We do have the most expensive

The only thing to be learned from this hateful tirad from Andrew Anglin is that he is incapable of making a logical argument and failed to prove that the BLM movement is actually run by Jews.

As long as the USA controls the international “Swift” dollar exchange system, sanctions will continue to kill the innocent poor throughout the world. Albright insists “it’s worth it’s. It being totalitarian global economic domination. But it’s going to end soon because with offshoring of manufacturing, wealth creation has moved from the USA to China. Our leadership did this on purpose.

Back from a ridiculous World Bank or IMF loan, payable only in dollars? Designed to strip assets from Peru.

Back for who, the USA, or the majority of the poor indigenous people?

We can thank all the hippies for reminding everyone there is more to life than bankrolling an elite ruling class that kills for money.

Voting does not work because our founding fathers established several ways for wealthy property owners to control Government, regardless of popular opinion. This problem has been greatly amplified by widespread gerrymandering.

The only thing that has ever fixed the flaws in our alleged democracy has been civil disobedience. This is how labor unions were able to be created. This is how women earned the right to vote. This is how black people were able to begin the long battle to establish equal rights under the law, a battle which continues in the USA, to this day. Activism does work. But in this class struggle, defined by Marx, some people must be willing to put their lives on the line. It is only when the police and military initiate violence by shooting protestors, that public opinion turn against the ruling class.

There is no denying the fact the Trump is a powerful political figure that has reshaped the Supreme Court in favor of the ruling class. American citizens live under an Oligarchy that has spent the last 75 years undoing the achievements of FDR. Trump is first and foremost a con-artist, peddling anything and everything which might promote his fame and fortune. Claiming the orange sloth is a populist is over the top nonsense. Like Biden, Trump supports low taxation of the rich.

The corporate and military interests are served by both parties. Conservatives openly support preferential treatment of the ruling class and liberals object to it, preferring an unachievable equality within society. But, life isn’t fair. A more realistic goal is equality of treatment under the law.

White nationalists are obsessed with racism, albeit under the Orwellian name of ‘anti-racism’. Race is a superficial distinction used to justify an entire worldview, that whites aren’t lucky, just better than everyone else, and therefore entitled to rule. But working people of every race share a common enemy, the politicians and bureaucrats with the power to negotiate free trade agreements, lower taxes on themselves and send those with no visible means of support to war for them.

Even though the West was initially consolidated into a worldwide empire centered on the United States, this can no longer hold., because the ruling elite in the United States have deliberately undermined labor based wealth creation with offshoring of manufacturing.

White nationalists tend to reduce the state to a tool of competing racial interests, just as Marxists reduce it to a tool of competing class interests. The ultimate end of life is not self-interest, but genetic interest, i.e. the self-propagation of distinct genes according to natural selection. Because the alleles, i.e. gene variants, possessed by (possessing?) an individual are also found to some degree in his brothers, sisters, parents, cousins etc., genetic interest can rationalize altruism and self-sacrifice for the sake of immediate kin. Once this point is accepted, race becomes an extended family. Tribalism and nationalism are states of mind in which the analogy of family and race is consciously acted upon.

I suddenly realize I’m still not halfway through this opinion piece and give up.

Peru is a comparatively wealthy nation with exports of copper, gold, zinc, textiles, and fish meal; Alberto Fujimori served as President from 28 July 1990 until his downfall on 22 November 2000. Fujimori ended price controls, protectionism, restrictions on foreign direct investment, and most state ownership of companies. 60% of the population is mixed indigenous living in comparative poverty. Fujimori’s measures failed to reduce poverty and dependence on developed nations or improve education. Fujimori is currently in prison convicted of corruption.

Pedro Castillo of the Perú Libre party was receiving congratulations from around the world, after the Peruvian Electoral Authority, ONPE, announced the final results: Castillo won 50.137% of the vote (8.83 million votes), while his opponent in the second round Keiko Fujimori of Fuerza Popular won 49.893% (8.78 million votes). Following the tactics of Donald Trump, Keiko Fujimori has filed 134 lawsuits challenging the outcome of the 2021 election with 811 more pending. Marinated in the bile of racism, the famous authorVargas Llosa joined other intellectuals of the extreme right to belittle the Peruvian working-class and peasantry, hoping that such remarks would give sufficient cover to the coup process underway inside the ONPE.

In 2005, the former left-leaning military officer Ollanta Humala was set to enter the presidential race in April 2006. Every indication suggested that Humala, who had attempted a coup against Keiko Fujimori’s father President Alberto Fujimori in 2000, had mass support. Humula objected to the US military presence in Peru and was suspected of ties to Hugo Chávez. This concerned the US, a primary recipient of Peru’s exports. Using radio and TV, the US embassy launched its considerable resources to undermine Humala. Humala lost the election in 2006. He then won in 2011, beating Keiko Fujimori. But by 2011, Humala had established himself as a candidate of the neoliberals, someone that the US saw as harmless and useful.

The US appointed a new ambassador to Peru this year, Lisa Kenna, a former advisor to US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, a nine-year veteran at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and a US Secretary of State official in Iraq. Just before the election, Ambassador Kenna released a video, in which she spoke of the close ties between the US and Peru and of the need for a peaceful transition from one president to another. But, Keena also assisted Trump in his efforts to dig up dirt on Biden, through the Ukraine.

In his prison cell former President Fujimori has supported the election challenge with his cell phone and help from his conservative party and the CIA. The Fujimori team had assembled assembled hundreds of lawyers before the vote, anticipating the possibility of a Castillo victory and the need to tie him up in the courts. The white collar legal army put in place is a racist lawfare strategy; their entire game has been to invalidate the votes of Peru’s indigenous communities.

Pedro Castillo continues to hold the streets. The crowds do not want their election to be stolen. But the US Embassy is directing darker forces in another classic US interference in the election of a sovereign country.

One of my Southern movie favorites, “Cold Mountain”

Paraphrasing the author begins with, “Southern Conservatives mirrors the national Neoconservative vision and its premises of continually expanding rights and equality.”

There is absolutely no evidence to support gains in human rights or equality in the USA, since Johnson, a Southern Democrat. When a Republican talks about expanding rights, he is referring to the ruling class, the Oligarchy which is busy extracting as much as they can from everywhere they can. If you donate more a hundred thousand or more to either party and they win you can expect a payback of 10-100 to 1.

So this alleged belief is cover for what really binds the ruling class in the South and the fools which follow them, racism, but in the current political climate that fact must never be admitted by the GOP. The position of the GOP continues to deteriorate, so they have resorted to: proprietary software, which should be illegal and became so controversial it has been largely corrected; minority voter purging; misleading and intimidating voters; attacking professional vote tabulators; reducing polling places in minority neighborhoods; reducing hours of operation of polling places.

The Republican Party is the party of conquest, of harsh Reconstruction policies, and Southern bigotry. Trump has added hate to their core practices.

Orchestrated is a very strong term. If you told me Fauci’s agenda includes continued CDC funding, I can believe that. But deliberately planning a pandemic outbreak in order to achieve a high level of crowd control? GMAFB.

Thanks for the clarifications.

With so much bad information out there, who do you believe?

For som time here. it was being claimed that Africa was Covid free, or suffering low death rates. Because of their pandemic experiences they do have better testing, tracing and isolation policies in place. But there are still infections in the region.

For most of us, that is defined by the group we most closely affiliate with, not the plain unadulterated facts.

We can quibble over minor details in search of proof of natural, accidental or deliberate.

But nothing changes the fact that these labs are a threat to human health and responsible for at least three outbreaks.

Paul Craig Roberts (PCR), Dr. Tess Lawrie, Mike Whitney and Robert Kennedy Jr. believe the risks of taking any of the vaccines is worse than the disease, primarily because the mRNA technology is new and was delivered bypassing normal testing protocol. PCR claims ALL Covid vaccines carry significant long term risks. But, it is too early to draw any such conclusion. In reality, no one knows, because anecdotal evidence is meaningless.

All information on the MSM clearly state 97% of all new Covid-19 new hospitalizations are for un-vaccinated patients. I trust most doctors and ALL nurses.

The best defense has always been isolation and remains so, but its very bad for the economy. Totalitarian China beat Covid-19 using the techniques PCR is concerned about and their economy continues to grow and dominate. Under Trump and Biden we have not imposed national totalitarian population control, leaving most control on a State and local level, except for military planning for the vaccine rollout. So all the conspiracy speculation has no basis in fact. Its all based on what these paranoid loony toons think our government is going to do next. Fat chance.

Two of the vaccines, developed by Pfizer and BioNTech and Moderna, respectively, both employ a novel genetic technology known as mRNA. But, at least three Covid vaccines do not use mRNA technology. On this point PCR is wrong. The University of Oxford and AstraZeneca uses a chimpanzee virus to deliver DNA for a component of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID. Russia, China, Cuba and India have rolled out their own vaccines also using conventional vaccine technology. However, the CDC refuses to introduce those vaccines in the USA. Why do you think they behave that way? Free markets?

If any country needs a nuclear weapon and delivery system it is Iran. If only to get the USA off their backs. The US has been doing their best to destroy any semblance of democracy in Iran since WWII. But if you have a nuclear weapon they don’t mess with you.

Only United States of America virtues of freedom democracy human rights can be universally applied –under the wrap of war…..permanent war—worldwide war—–

We live I in an Oligarchy, not a democracy. Do rich people of many flavors conspire to further enrich themselves at the expense of the poor? Absolutely, that’s the only thing going on here since FDR.

Name one challenging necessary war the US has won since WWII? It’s all about wasting money on defense contractors and stealing resources from third world countries, which cannot be stolen through predatory lending practices, payable only in dollars.

The scale of US warmongering is unprecedented in world history. But it’s hardly ever directed at individuals, like Israel frequently does. The US murders millions, Israel murders thousands. There is no consequence for these crimes, except more people hate us. But if you kill just one you will suffer serious consequences.

The key word here is “possible”. Why begrudge welfare when Banksters are stealing 80 times more money, as we converse? That 80 times more gets shared with a couple thousand people, while welfare is shared with 13 million people, who actually need the money to survive.

“Positive Pengar” positive money group

Optimistic money makers?

Biden is a servant of Banksters and Israel, followed by the military industrial complex. Nothing new to see here. But, at least he tries to put your health before the outcome of the next election. Trump knew that a collapsed economy would cost him the election, which is why he let people die, rather than do anything which would slow the economy. This is also the reason Republicans and Fox are creating Vax fear, hoping the economy will collapse again and let them sweep the next election. Fucking lowlife scum, all of them.

How many years has the US spent squeezing Cuba in every way possible? Then when their living standards are poor blame it all on their ‘failed’ system. The US kind of helped it fail. But Biden is just reading off whatever script is placed in front of him; he’s just a puppet.

Excellent and informative article, Dr. Roberts.

Agreed…as are most of his articles.

I’m glad to see that comments are permitted for this one.

Comments should be allowed on all articles. Evidently, Roberts’ narcissism doesn’t allow it.

Joseph Goebbels would be proud of A123. Let’s judge the past by present values. Let’s return the Western Hemisphere to indigenous peoples and all black people to Africa. That will work nicely.

The blatant lies of A123 are obvious to the most casual observer. Israel and the USA are powerful aggressive military forces willing to kill, maim and destroy to promote their agendas. Birds of a feather.

The question of whether viruses exist begs the question do we even exist. Viral structure and DNA sequence are mapped and studied for both viruses and humans.

In all things under Capitalism, the person or institution with the deepest pockets prevails, at least initially. But eventually the truth has a way of emerging after about fifty years. The truth about leaded gasoline and tobacco use took that long to emerge. The corrupting influence is Corporate profits, which keeps glyphosate on the market presently. Certainly, Covid vaccines also fit into that pattern, for Pfizer at least, but not Cuba.

Trump is dishonest, incompetent and sad that the dirty tricks openly employed by Republicans since 2000 did not propel him to a second undemocratic electoral college victory. Though he has surprisingly strong support for a con-artist, he has never enjoyed support from a majority of Americans. To pretend otherwise is profoundly delusional.

In Florida the vote rigging has been obvious for a very long time. These practices are utilized by Republicans in the majority of States in which they control the Governorship and legislature. Without those dirty tricks they have a loyal following of 25 percent. This in a country disgusted by both parties to such an extent that the largest declared party is Independent, at 40 percent. Our campaign battles are based on character assassination, not policy discussion, required for a functional democracy.

Cruelty and over the top punishment characterize American justice. A system which rich people can circumvent.

Tax the rich, feed the poor, till there are poor no more

As a practical matter birth rates must come down, which is only possible when women are provided an outstanding education.

The purpose of taxation in a Capitalist system must be to prevent an ever decreasing minority from owning everything. As the game of Monopoly demonstrates, left untaxed long enough there can only be one winner. That will return our nation to a feudal system and the dark ages. It already played out once until labor unions, workers compensation and social security was established, through taxation.

Since that time our ruling Oligarchy has launched an effective counter attack. Our great democracy is a myth.

First I would like to thank PCR and Unz for opening up discussion on this topic, a rarity with this once very important voice for truth and human ethics., whose growing paranoia has some justification, if sometimes overblown. I offer the following additional points to this discussion

Trump had no patience for government rules or bureaucracy and “fast tracked” vaccines, even as he downplayed those risks. On any given day, true to form, he might blame China, or deny that Covid-19 was anything worse than the flue. That is certainly true for many people that tested positive.

All drugs, surgeries and treatments for health problems incur risk. Normal CDC testing evaluates those risks against the benefits to approve or disapprove a procedure, vaccine or drug. It was Trump’s idea to circumvent these practices and his followers that resist vaccination more often. As far as I know Trump was never vaccinated, even though he tested positive at one point.

Bio-weapons labs are putting the human population at grave risk. The 1918 pandemic was traced to a Rockefeller Research facility. Post 9-11 Anthrax came from a US lab. Some believe lyme diease epidemic also originated in a US lab. There are incurable smallpox variants stored in these labs. Like nuclear weapons manufacturing, they need to be shut down, by international treaty, for the sake of mankind. Otherwise these problems will get worse and worse.

Undertakers in various parts of the world have been overwhelmed by Covid-19, leading to mass graves in parts of the world, especially those targeted for sanctions by the USA, which denies medical supplies to those in need. Maybe all the news we received is made up in a studio, but I doubt it. It might have been a deliberate government weapon, but far more likely an unfortunate, unnecessary accident and even possibly a mutated natural bat virus first identified in 2012. Only, honest transparency, a rarity in modern “democratic” life, can resolve this question.

The only treatments for new pandemics require strict testing, tracing and lock-downs. Effective, but intrusive. Contrary to what right wing zealots claim, masks, though imperfect, help reduce infection. But isolation of known infections is the most effective treatment and countries which practiced these measures quickly recovered. There was little if any difference between outcomes in cooperative and uncooperative States. Consistent, national policies are required and regions with high air traffic are more vulnerable. These practices are kinda like tyranny, yet the only effective tools available until Trump’s vaccines came along.

If its all fake, to promote fear, it involves every government in the world, including countries with a better track record of transparency than the USA, like Scandinavia. While all Governments seek to portray themselves in the most positive light possible, and there is plenty of sordid human history, it makes no sense to deliberately kill and treat people simultaneously, to promote fear and obedience. The tools available to the health care industry in these circumstances are very limited until vaccines are developed. Development of these vaccines in so many countries with starkly different political systems lead a rational person to conclude they are the only reasonable alternative, requiring cutting edge big science all over the world. That said, all new technology, comes with unknown risks, that can take time to understand. While many companies seek to profit by covering up risks, that is not a government inspired grand conspiracy. Thalidomide was a nastier example, which led to better testing practices. Our government tests to define and reduce those risks. Trump cut that red tape, which increased risks.

Hudson is right. Bankers are running the country with public funds delivered by the Federal Reserve, which they control, and sending all the good jobs overseas. No one said it better than British Conservative James Goldsmith when he wrote the book “The Trap” in 1993. In it it explains why economic growth is not an end in itself. Our societies improved well being is the only true measure of success. Long term trends: broken labor unions, falling wages, rising unemployment, increased violence, growing poverty with slums and tent cities, environmental deterioration are all indications that something is terribly wrong. The theories based on General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) which has morphed into NAFTA and other similar agreements are the problem. The American worker can never compete with Chinese labor. That policy is a fucking disaster.

Holy crap, this does not look good for the arrogant Americans. I understand that 5G in the US will never operate up to specs because the US defense department refuses to surrender the bandwidth it controls necessary to function properly.

China builds. The USA destroys.

Can’t argue with that. Democrats support of Israel is just as crazy as the Republicans. It was wrong of me to single them out, even though Jared under Trump took Israeli worship to a higher level than ever. Ever until Bien kissed their feet. Disgusting, when will these incompetent money Gruber’s put the USA before istsrl?

Government needs to control education do that the Banks that are actually in charge stop teaching the pseudoscience of economics known as Neoliberal economics, the sole purpose of which is to enrich Bankers and impoverish productive workers. What Thatcher claimed TINA, there is no alternative. Its all BS, it’s bad for the country and bad for you.

Another enemy and war served up to the American people. When you consider that the oligarchy in charge moved most manufacturing to China first, as a final nail in labor’s coffin, there is no possible favorable outcome for the USA, where idiots rule.

Unable to grasp that the bully is the occupier, not their prisoners subjected to a blockaide going on 60 years. Much like the endless propaganda the Republicans spew on a daily basis.

It has never been a question of Israel’s right to exist, even though they are surrounded by millions of Arabs that are sick and tired of their violence. The issue is Israel’s persistent violent aggression, made possible only with US support.

Racism in this day and age is linked to institutions more than individuals. Powerful institutions like the Judicial system which mets out punishment in a terribly discriminatory manner. Republicans do not want the public to be aware of this problem and have blocked teaching of an accurate history in five States already. Another important political battle is around voting rights. Again Republicans are determined to make it more difficult for minorities and handicapped people to vote, knowing they overwhelmingly vote against Republicans. Education in this country also has racial discrimination written all over it because, like housing, you can only buy what a Bank will lend for. Few people realize that, unlike the EU, ever rising student loans are required for educational access. Fewer still realize, in our financialized economy Banks pocket more money from rising home values and loans than alleged owners.

It is a fact that private Corporations charge more and deliver less in goods and services whenever there is a monopoly on those services, such as utilities, schools, parking meters, roads… why, because the CEO’s can pocket hundreds of millions for themselves and reward stockholders handsomely to make their stock attractive. In addition, for the same reason namely greed, employees in those private Corporations are treated much worse than employees in public organizations. Some people think that is a good idea, I don’t know why, because 70% of our economy is consumer spending and the second most important reason for why our economy is collapsing is because of the very effective war on labor unions the rich have waged against workers. The most important reason of coarse, is that most of our factories have been moved South or West.

Our economy is a virtuous cycle of production (which creates new wealth) and consumption. The rich still get richer when the economy is booming, but not as fast as when they slash wages. So your statement that everything should be privatized is completely false. Everything will cost more. Workers have less money to spend. This is where we are at today. This is the way Abraham Lincoln puts it:

“Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.”

This is the way I put it sir, you are full of shit.

There should be no such thing as property tax. Local gov’t should provide far fewer services to reduce the amount of money they need. Some cities have outsourced almost all their services to private contractors that get paid for services rendered.

For example : All schools should be private and funded by the parents of children attending. There wouldn’t be any school boards to ram their favorite political agenda down parent’s throats. Water and sewer service should be metered and paid for by what’s used. Street maintenance should come from a tax on fuel or mileage in the case of an electric vehicle. Welfare should be completely shut down so the phony religious and charitable organizations are forced to take up the slack to keep their tax exempt status or go out of business. Street cops should be fired since they’re useless in fighting crime.

central tenant

Should be ‘central tenet’.

But if Phil is trying to imply that Trump, Obama or Bush are any better…

I don’t think that Phil is naive enough to believe that any ‘president’ can do much to alter the feeding habits of the beast!

Regarding Yid, Yid history, Hoax, Palestine:

Israelis, Yid aren’t in a discussion to learn.
The discussion is rarely, rarely honest.
They are knowing, willful, deliberate liars.
They attempt to overwhelm with lies and BS.
Overwhelm with lies and waste time.

5 dancing shlomos

Oswald returned from Russia in June in 1962, by October 1962 he has a job working on “highly-classified” U-2 spy plane maps. This job resulted from “meeting” a US intelligence asset only four days prior, George De Mohrenschildt, a cultured aristocratic Russian. This is happening in the midst of the Cuban missile crisis. Some see this relationship as conspiratorial, but it can also be viewed as an effort by Naval Intelligence, that is watching Oswald closely, to understand KGB recruiting methods. In other words Naval Intelligence was attempting to catch the KGB recruiting an American asset. Still, you have to wonder, why would Naval Intelligence let a loose cannon like Oswald, work on highly classified material in the middle of the Cuban Missile crisis?

Biden betrays his base by pretending anything can be accomplished by working across the aisle. Republicans are the gravest threat on the planet to worker prosperity and life as we know it on earth.

But keep in mind that Delaware Biden has never actually been on the side of workers either. He was just pretending to get elected. He is a career Bankster’s friend and supporter of perpetual war.

Pretending Bush accomplished his mission does not make it so. That’s just partisan nonsense.

But the larger omission is the role of the CIA in the occupation of Afghanistan and their constant affiliation with drug trafficking around the world.

If you are outside the capital you have every right to protest. But breaking and entering is a crime subject to prosecution.

From Counterpunch:

The daily violence visited on Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza is not news. Otherwise, Israel’s historical mission to be “a light unto the nations”—that is to say, its theft of Palestinian land and its violation of Palestinian rights—proceeds mostly unremarked. Most of the time the only thing that varies with that process is the pace of the thefts and violations. The pace quickens when Israel, like a thief, thinks no one is watching. But now another factor seems to be accelerating these events. Israeli anxiety is growing because anger and disgust around the world with its behavior is growing. At the same time both the power and influence of its only real friend, the US, are waning, and Israel finds itself more isolated. Its new friendship with the UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, Morocco hardly lessens its isolation and in any case is only for show. Israelis are now welcome to vacation in Dubai. Israel remains a Zionist island in a sea of 360 million Arabs who despise it. All of these things suggest that the time is coming when the rest of the world may finally say to Israel enough.

Yes, Biden kneeling before Israel is an awful metaphor….America is a colony of Israel and we are all Palestinians.

Dan Cathy kneels before negroes and shines their shoes.

Police all over America kneel before BLM.

To an unbiased observer it would seem that white men are incapable of standing up straight.

There is no doubt, because of numerous leaks and good reporting, that the relationship between JFK and Ben-Gurion, was hostile. Eventually this will be proven when our “Government of the People”, decides we have the right to see the letters they wrote each other. Why the hostility? Because Ben-Gurion was determined to develop the bomb and JFK was determined to prevent them from acquiring that technology. To this day, those letters are secret. Outrageous.

There is no doubt Angleton was a a powerful friend of Israel, like most CIA agents he was a raving right wing maniac, ready to kill and steal in the name of Capitalism, as much as the Israeli cause. His role is memorialized in several monuments to his person in Israel, a powerful measure of his influence. But to link him therefore to the assassination of JFK is over the top nonsense. As far as I can tell Piper has a suspicions, but proved nothing.

Helms at the CIA and Hoover at the FBI deliberately botched the JFK assassination to save their own careers. But that fact does not implicate them in the JFK assassination either. Bobby was also active in the coverup because of the danger of exposing Castro assassination plots which included an important Cuban general, who could not be exposed as a traitor to Castro, if the plot were to succeed.

Mob bosses Marcello, Rosselli and Trafficante are tied to the assassination of JFK, by prison wire taps and confessions to their attorneys, revealed after their death. Lansky and Trafficante worked closely together with the CIA smuggling heroin, the CIA, Mertz and Lansky globally, Trafficante nationally with support from Marcello, Rosselli, Ruby and Hoffa. The three national bosses worked for Lansky and must have gotten his permission to act, but Marcello had more independence than the other two. Fosselli worked for Giancana, who was under constant surveillance. All four were under tremendous pressure from the Kennedy brothers who were aggressively prosecuting them.

Laboratory engineered Covid, nicely designed to maximize economic damage. It almost seems much more likely than a natural variant, because there are too many coincidences to have happened by chance, according to Unz (and Karl Malden as Mike Stone always understood).

Except in 2012 3 of 6 miners died while shoveling bat guano. When samples were taken of that virus, it was found to be identical to Covid-19, but cataloged separately in Chinese studies. Samples had been stored in Hunan freezers.

All of which is overshadowed by the fact that that these Labs are another Government weapons against human beings. Like nuclear weapons they must be dismantled before more lives are destroyed. The USA has trained and funded the Wuhan Chinese lab. They are a culpable as China in this tragedy, which very well have leaked from Wuhan or any of several US labs.

There is horrendous irony in the final outcome if Unz is correct. As China continues to thrive and grow, US conspirators have once again destroyed our economy.

There is a bit of he said, she said in this pointless conversation which is going nowhere. But there is one INDISPUTABLE BIG TRUTH, Israel invaded the Middle East after WWII, Menachem Begin led the charge using terrorist tactics. That’s how it all started. It took tremendous political pressure to get England and the USA behind the creation of Israel, but it worked.

The Arabs had nothing to do with WWII and should never have had to pay for Hitler’s crimes. They were given nothing in exchange for the creation of the State of Israel. Germany should have surrendered its prime real estate to a new nation for the Jews. But that’s the way the cookie crumbled because Arabs had no say, and we still only care about their oil. As far as we are concerned their lives have no value. In the USA Jews are never to be spoken ill of because the Bible says….. what a load of shit. Better educated Europeans have a more balanced approach to this 80 year old problem. They are willing to admit Arabs and Jews are both humans and that both sides have a right to speak, unlike you.

You will never accept my facts and I will never accept yours. There it ends.

What was reasonable in 1963 is not reasonable today. You are dodging the issues around Israeli violence. Israel with overwhelming hi-tech and firepower which they have used against every Arab State is not acting in self defense. The are engaged in the occupation and destruction of Palestine and, just like their US enablers kill Arabs with impunity. They should be up on war crimes charges in the Hague. Israel has even engaged in selling Pallstinian body parts of the people they murder, for profit, as I have proven, much like China does to prisoners.

The fact that a group has developed like Hamas to return fire does not justify Israeli violence, or their operation of a racist apartheid State.

Scientific American retracted pro-Palestine article lacking any factual errors because Jewish outrage (aka ADL) against the esteemed journal’s opinion piece expressing solidarity with Palestinians under Israeli bombardment.

I certainly understand that out of control political correctness impedes free and fair fiscourse, especially when the accusation of anziSemitism is used to censor so much. But fo you seriously think Xi cares what Jews think, for example.

Everyone that likes to be shot dead by the police raise your hand. This is a legitimate protest issue regardless who elects to participate in funding. Blaming Jews for everything that is wrong eith this world is incredibly stupid.

Our country is drowning in misinformation, most of it promulgated by the Republican Party. 70 percent vlaim the 2020 elecctipn was stolen after they clearly stole the 2000 election and most likely several more in between, as documented by Greg Pallast. 25 percent believe Democrats are child moledting agents of Satan. 85 percent deny global warming is caused by human activity.

Global warming and nuclear war threaten all life on earth as we know it. If we cannot have rational discourse over these genuine existential threats we are doomed. Fuentas and this article is a source of much disinformation and unworthy of our sympathy.

It is meaningless to constantly refer to Muslim hatred and determination to destroy Israel when Israel has and will continue to destroy everyone rlse in the region. Only Israeli supporters completely disconnected from reality can make such ridiculous statements. Israel has attacked and crushed its neighbors. For 80 years Israel has been undstisfied with the land it was granted and determined to take more by force. JFK’s position was leave the Palestinians slone, or provide just financial compensation plus all relocation expenses. Israel’s ace in the hole is nuclear weapons. Any claim that Iran is a threat is as ridiculous as when Rice pretended Iran was a threat to Poland. Complete utter nonsense from a Government unhappy with the outcome from repeatedly interfering in the internal affairs of Iran and destroying every last vextige of democracy and freedom. iran today is a product of relentless US war crimes. They are understandably concerned with their own security but otherwise a threat to no one. They deserve to be left alone.

No one can go back in time and it makes no difference whether you sre talking about a day or a thousand years. But you have to eonder, as the fust settled from WWII, why Jewd were not offered a piece of Germany instead of the Middle East? I think it’s a self fulfilling prophedy of evangelical Christians. The same sort of idiots that approve of cooking the planet, because Jesus is going to save hs. We are governed by incompetent idiots.

A Princeton Study confirms your description of our hopelessly corrupt system. Examination of 2000 pieces of legislation, when checking who benefits from the legislation, only major donors. The study essentially proves we live in an Oligarchy, our Democracy is just a myth perpetuated by phony elections full of phony promises.

Is the dollar still relevant?
In order to pass a law through çongress, it must first pass through Committee. Committees are controlled by the two parties. Congressman gain committee spots by financial support of the party. The party comes around with it’s hand out. No tickee, no shirtee.
Get it? Congress is just one big whore house. Any law MUST be introduced by financial support of members ‘johns’. Most Reps are ‘three hole’ congressmen. But wait, there’s more.
It’s so easy to take foreign contributions. Even an Israeli could do it. So the world is awash in dollars, any of which can find it’s way into Congressional pockets. Is it any wonder American workers are shat upon? (i.e. $600/wk Convid bonus. Throw the dog a bone.)
The grabbing hands grab all they can
All for themselves, after all
Everything counts in large amounts.
It’s a competitive world.

Increased property taxation is Hudson’s solution.

Property taxes support local governments, especially schools, so they cannot be eliminated without some other source of income. Schools are vital to real long term productivity.

California capped it, primarily intending to protect the elderly, who do not live forever. But the unintended consequence became the largest beneficiaries of the law are Corporations, which can live forever. Conservative Courts awarded that Prop 13 benefit to Corporations, as part of a more than hundred year campaign to provide Corporations the same rights as human beings. Thus, property taxes on the Bank of America building cannot be raised more than 1% a year in perpetuity.

Saudi Arabia and Israel are worst countries in the world on a per capita basis, based on the violence they generate. Otherwise, the USA reigns supreme based on the shear number of people they have killed, displaced, tortured while demolishing their infrastructures.

Clinton was under all out attack and unable to do much of anything at that time,which saved Social Security. Bill was always good at taking criticism with a smile. But, the Larry Summers’ assault on Russia was a monstrous tragedy… and Summers was Clinton’s right hand man, still trying to destroy even the US economy. The Harvard faculty had to vote the bastard out after he demolished their endowment. Summers was Robert Rubin’s protege, both rank thieves. O’Neil was an angel by comparison, which is why the Bush administration had to get rid of him. Geithner, Lew and Mnunchin follow a long line of criminal bankers stealing trillions from the public coffers. As CEO of Citicorp, Lew bankrupted Puerto Rico. Then as Treasury Secretary he drove innocent Puerto Ricans into poverty while demanding full payment for his fraudulent bonds. Same shit, over and over again.

I should have said the gun in the book depository is sufficient to explain JFK’s injuries, if the shot in the back exited the front of his neck. Otherwise there must have been more than one shooter.

Jack Ruby, Jack Rubenstein, Jack La Rue was not just a small time crook and Dallas night club owner. He has many decades of history interacting with organized crime and the CIA, especially running guns to Cuba for both Batista and Castro, but also in the Dallas heroin racket controlled by Lansky, Trafficantes, Marcello, Giancana, Hoffa and Rosselli, with help from the CIA. Cuban arms and plane sales to Castro, led by Hoffa in 1959, included an assassination plot. Just one of many rackets these thugs operated including loan sharking, gambling, and prostitution. The Kennedy’s had been aggressively targeting them for a very long time. As these and many other criminals were subpoenaed by the Church Committee and House Select Committee on Assassinations they were frequently murdered gangland style before they could testify.

So when Ruby murdered Oswald and Bugliosi says it was because Ruby loved Kennedy, I say BS. That is one point he is dead wrong about. Otherwise his case against Oswald is rock solid.

Is this even a meaningful sentence? “I am not putting any words in your mouth but yours…” because it makes to sense to me.

“Muhammad’s followers brought the non-indigenous religious of Islam to Palestine by force around 600 AD.”SO WHAT, we cannot go back in time. Time only marches forward. Peaceful negotiations have to start with the current situation and be resolved in a fair and equitable manner without assigning blame arbitrarily over events thousands of years ago when human behavior was far more primitive. I’ve never heard of a “religious” property claim and am dubious about how it might fit into any current legal system. Sounds like a figment of your imagination, but maybe Israel invented it to serve their evil purposes of confiscation and murder.

There are too many examples of atrocities in human history, not the least of which is Hitler’s concentration camps during WWII. But more than 6 million Jews were targeted, homosexuals and communists including 20-30 million Russians paid with their lives under horrible conditions. That was before Stalin’s post war purges.

I make the claim that Israel is armed to the teeth and confiscating land which does not belong to them, denying Palestinians equal rights while pretending to be a democracy. How far does this denial go? The Israeli army can shoot any Palestinian for no reason at all, without any fear of accountability.

I proved Israel is one of several evil countries which traffick in human body parts for greed and intimidation of their subservient population. First you call me a liar, then you ignore the proof.

Israel has engaged in an illegal land grab for the last seventy years. Illegal according to the UN, but protected by the USA, a nation of even greater belligerence. Again you claim I am a liar, but the history is clear.

Israel has overwhelming firepower over Palestine, which they use with impunity. If Hamas answers in kind, you and Israel pretend they are the aggressors. Palestinians do not have the right to elect their own leaders. They live in ruble created by Israel, under constant threat of death or dismemberment. Conservative forces in Israel want to push them all out. Israel is not on defense, they are the aggressors.

As I stated: all human groups, with the possible exception of some primitive pacific island societies, have done terrible things to competing groups. Israel and the USA should be judged by the same Nuremberg standard other less fortunate countries are subjected to. Israel and the USA should be up on war crimes charges at the Hague. Only US veto power prevents this Justice from being carried out.

‘…But the USA is incapable of doing any such thing. Carter is the only one who tried.’

Well, Eisenhower too, but all that was a long time ago.

We know who boss man is now, don’t we?

The most influential players in this terrible trend, is the Conservative Supreme Court and the Republican Party. I don’t mean to give the double speaking Democrats a pass, but they do rank second after the Republicans because they include some very decent progressives. On the Republican side the only decent human beings I am aware of are the two Pauls, who have brought a consistently decent perspective with their unique brand of nonsense.

SCOTUS conservatives have: legislated from the bench; increased Presidential powers to dictatorship levels, but only when they are Republican; conspired to destroy Clinton’s Presidency; reduced voting rights; overridden free and fair elections; stopped gun control; increased States rights as a method for imposing hate legislation to override Federal law; supports privatization of natural monopolies; attacked a women’s right to choose; supported slavery and segregation and supports erasing slavery from US history. All the while pretending to be adhering to some “originalist” interpretation of the constitution. The constitution was designed to provide property owners greater rights than the poor, women and blacks. But it has been improved on over time in that regard, but only by putting your life on the line in the streets.

An organized club of attorneys, the Federalist Society, with a singular agenda, provide the labor pool for Conservative debauched Judicial appointments. We can thank the Republican Party, especially McConnell and the orange sloth for this tragedy.

34 cases out of 15,000. What is the author trying to prove? Oh,yeah, blacks are worse than everyone else. What an idiot.

Some murder rates by ranked highest to lowest. Anybody the State kills is hardly ever murder, a fact which skews this data reducing the US murder rate by a factor of three. Life South of our Border is not safe.

Bugliosi makes the strongest imaginable case against Oswald and along comes Pincher Martin and gives us a taste of Oswald’s state of mind in Mexico, desperate, out of options, nowhere left to go.

The number of people that blame everything on the Jews here is astonishing. Their influence over the USA is beyond a joke, but we are only 5% of the planet’s population. These belief’s culminates in Piper’s collection of remarkable coincidences and possible motives and benefits for why Mossad killed Kennedy is weak in documentation (after reading volume one). We will never know every detail but Waldron and Hartmann do a remarkable job based on freedom of information documentation, personal interviews and recordings. They point to Rosselli, Marcello and Trafficante and build additional links to MLK and RFK.

Yet, Oswald is sufficient to explain the injuries to JFK. But, as always, questions remain, like whole and bullet fragments. Or how could the mobsters depend on a loose cannon like Oswald? Siran Siran shot RFK, but not every bullet. James Earl Ray worked indirectly for Marcello.

I make no such claim, you should stop being just another idiot that puts words in other people’s mouths.

The history of mankind is the history of mankind’s enslavement of mankind. Neither Jew, Mongol, Muslim, Christian nor any other group has clean hands in this regard. Peace making has to start with where we stand and also requires both parties act in good faith, a pernicious problem when one side has overwhelming advantage. What can you tell a country with an Atomic Bomb? NOTHING. That is the biggest problem in that region, followed by the lunatics running Saudi Arabia.

We cannot go back in time. Iranians, Palestinians and Egyptians have the right to elect their own leaders, but we will not let them, like every other country South of our border.

But we must begin where we are, and only pressure from the USA can bring Israel to the table. But the USA is incapable of doing any such thing. Carter is the only one who tried.

Why he clears the CIA is beyond me, they are as evil as any I institution on our planet.

Dr. Giraldi was a CIA employee for years.

But if Phil is trying to imply that Trump, Obama or Bush are any better in regard to Governmental invasions of personal privacy, he is full of shit.

Dr. Giraldi wrote some columns after the last Most Important Election Ever based on the ludicrous notion that Assange and Snowden might be pardoned.

Everyone has blind spots.
