"There are so many different groups of people in what used to be Syria facing so many different iron fists I can no longer keep track of them all, but all the chaos serves the Empire so it must be great."

Seriously! WTH are we doing there but creating a failed state, and a playground for the worst of the worst? Hopefully they all eventually unite, and attack Israel!

Israel wants to annex most of the place, and Big Oil wants a pipeline. Israel will overextend, and you can't keep pipelines when the people living there don't want them and have access to explosives.

Some of our real rulers must KNOW these things, but I guess they figure they'll make plenty of profit before it all goes bust so they don't care.

Just be clear about that $8 billion in weapons "Genocide" Joe Biden is shipping off to Israel, Chris Hedges provides some details of just what it is WE are doing to the Palestinians:

“The State Department has informed Congress that it intends to approve another $8 billion in purchases of U.S.-made arms by Israel. This will provide Israel with more GPS guidance systems for bombs, more artillery shells, more missiles for fighter jets and helicopters, and more bombs, including 2,800 unguided MK-84 bombs, which Israel has a habit of dropping on densely packed tent encampments in Gaza. The pressure wave from the 2,000-pound MK-84 pulverizes buildings and exterminates life within a 400-yard radius. The blast, which ruptures lungs, rips apart limbs and bursts sinus cavities up to hundreds of yards away, leaves behind a 50-foot-wide and 36-foot-deep crater.”

— Chris Hedges, Genocide: The New Normal (1/6/25)

May Biden and Anthony Blinken and all the other White House terrorists retire ... and burn in hell.

Blinken & Sullivan have definitely earned a place in the darkest corner of the Twilight Zone.

Amen. If I was of military age and a male I would never put on the uniform of this heinous government that supports and is an equal partner in this genocide. I don’t like being an American right now. Feeling very complicit in this heinous act of genocide being my tax dollars are paying for this sick garbage.😢☮️🇵🇸

This degenerate, bought-off government of corporate corruption has shamed us all and has NO legitimacy.

As someone descended from "BIPOC-genociding settler-colonialists" I honestly can't get too concerned about the Israelis and Palestinians.

Then you are a foolish person. Let me make something very clear. I have had my fill of identity politics and people claiming they are somehow more worthy of empathy, and assistance, because they consider themselves to be members of the more victimized class.

That's exactly what our ruling class wants us to do--to be divided according to THEIR categories. If you fall for that, then you are a sucker.

The comparison to Aaron Bushnell was one I also made. First time I’ve seen it voiced

Wow to read what Blinken says, Hitler would be proud. I am so ashamed to be an American and to have such mind fuckers in any way shape or form not in jail for genocide, well words don’t suffice!

Long live the memory of Aaron Bushnell and long may the trail be behind Anthony Blinken of those who (like our Canadian friends to the North) shame and bird dog his zionist ass.
