Anti-War
Although the statement that “power grows out of the barrel of a gun” was made by Chinese communist leader Mao Zedong, it’s an idea that, in one form or another, has motivated a great many people, from the members of teenage street gangs to the statesmen of major nations.
The rising spiral of world military spending provides a striking example of how highly national governments value armed forces. In 2024, the nations of the world spent a record $2.72 trillion on expanding their vast military strength, an increase of 9.4 percent from the previous year. It was the tenth year of consecutive spending increases and the steepest annual rise in military expenditures since the end of the Cold War.
To conquer a place is to fundamentally subdue its population. This must be clearly differentiated from 'occupation', a specific legal term that governs the relationship between a foreign "occupying power" and the occupied nation under international law, particularly the Fourth Geneva Convention.
In a genocidal war that has spiraled into a struggle for political survival, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition and the global powers supporting him continue to sacrifice Palestinian lives for political gain.
The sordid career of Israel's extremist National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, epitomizes this tragic reality.
Israel’s renewed assault on Gaza comes several months after both Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch issued reports concluding without equivocation that Israel was engaged in genocide. But very few members of Congress dare to acknowledge that reality, while their silence and denials scream out complicity.
The Israeli regime supported by the US regime just attacked the people of
Gaza strip killing 304 civilians (reported so far last night to this
morning) and injuring hundreds. Men, women, children are being slaughtered
again in large numbers using US weapons and support. This while not
allowing humanitarian aid (2 million people denied food, medicine, water)).
Is there any group that will intervene to stop the genocide? How is it
that the whole global order is subservient to Zionist racism with only
Yemen trying to ddo something. Egypt, Jordan, Europe, the UN, the US...
partners in genocide. No one still believe the Zionist propaganda but
politicians surrender to the Zionist lobbies and blackmail (Jefrey Epstein
was Mossad).
The US regime also just expelled the the South African Ambassador (for his
outspoken rejection of imperialism) and is trying to expell a lawful
permanant resident (Mamoud Kalil) for speaking the truth about an ongoing
genocide. The regime also got rid of Adam Boehler, US envoy who talked to
Hamas (Islamic Resistance Movement). The US an Israel break ceasefires they
Citizens of America. Are you prepared to sit back and watch another round of genocide of innocent human beings in Gaza? It is clear that President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu have reached an agreement. In the meeting rooms at the Pentagon and White House, the Israel government and American Empire have agreed on a plan to ethnically cleans Gaza. The first stage is to shut off all aid to Gaza, to shut off the electricity, and to destroy the water system. In the middle ages this was called siege warfare.
The genocidal leaders failed to invite me to the planning meetings, but Israel's announcements over the past two days indicate that they will institute a siege. Trump will continue to offer Palestinians an off ramp in Jordan or Egypt, despite the governments of those two countries expressly refusing to accept the ethnically cleansed Palestinian population of 2.1 million people. We can be sure the Empire is applying maximum pressure to those two countries. Saudi Arabia is hovering in the background, supporting the American Empire in it's willingness to slaughter the remaining population of Gaza, while attempting to pacify it's Arab Muslim population.
As much of the American public reflexively freaks out over Trump's sudden capitulation in it's proxy war against Russia, one must consider the options, as I have written before. The three choices are to capitulate, to drag the war on for an indefinite period of time, or to escalate.
The idea of escalating this war, with the intention of militarily driving the Russian army back to it's border, is terrifying. American's have been programed to believe that Vladimir Putin is an unhinged lunatic who intends to attacking the NATO military alliance as soon as he defeats Ukraine, despite mountains of evidence to the contrary.
After Donald Trump began to pull together his cabinet and inner circle it became pretty clear that the overwhelming tie that bound the group together was its embrace of Israel and everything that it is doing. There were even jokes that the top cabinet officials had apparently been selected by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel himself to reflect the fact that the Jewish state would be calling the shots for Trump even more than they did with the spineless Joe Biden. The handover of power was confirmed for all to see when Trump invited Netanyahu to the White House, the first foreign head of state to be so sanctified. While in Washington, a grinning Netanyahu was beguiled to learn of a crazy scheme to either kill or throw all the remaining Palestinians out of what was once Palestine and turn the ruins of Gaza into a high-end beach resort. Since that time, Trump has assured a delighted Netanyahu that no Palestinians would be allowed to return to visit what was once the site of their homes and communities.
