not an accident
TRAVEL DAY THOUGHTS FROM AIRPORT HOTEL...WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT, SO MANY OF THE APPARENT CONTROVERSIES, PLOT TWISTS, AND REVERSALS OF FORTUNE THAT CORPORATE MEDIA SELL AS SHOCKING WERE AMAZINGLY PREDICTABLE AND REALLY JUST PART OF THE PLAN ALL ALONG.
In case it wasn't obvious, it was always the plan to provoke Hamas into giving Biden and Harris an excuse to divert tens of billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to Israel to commit war crimes. In the process they would knowingly neglect the needs of Americans, break the law, destroy their own political careers, and hand the reins to Trump. These so-called supporters of Israel would deliberately obliterate that country's global reputation, and make it the least safe place on Earth for Jews.
Liberals and fascists always knew they'd eventually have to take a break from trading insults to collaborate on a sham "peace" agreement. This travesty would let Israel keep most of its illegal post-Oct 7 conquests, and completely eliminate any way for Palestinians or Lebanese to defend themselves from future Israel/U.S. attacks. Trump, Biden, Harris and Netanyahu would each get their moment in the spotlight, but were really never more than well-paid fall guys, pre-selected from the global elite, promised permanent protection from criminal prosecution.
If everything goes according to plan, the public should then be satisfied that justice has been served, and the evils of Israel reined in. In reality its worst criminals will go scot-free, the military industrial complex and Pentagon budget will once again have been massively expanded, and the balance of power will have shifted heavily in Zionism's favor. For the architects of this plan, it was always going to be two steps forward and one step back.
This is why I find it hilarious when liberals fret over the loss of American "prestige" under Trump. This country doesn't even take its own laws seriously, let alone the international ones. Although you’ll never hear it on corporate media, the U.S. does have actual rules about aiding and abetting war crimes. But try and find a Republican or Democrat who cares a pin about such trivialities. Their instruction to the world is clear: only losers respect agreements, follow laws, or lack nuclear weapons.
Touring the world for a living has been a real education. People around the globe do not care about Trump's hairstyle, or the White House redesign, or any of the nonsense with which billionaire-owned media platforms and infotainment outlets try to distract us. And why should they care? They’re focused on U.S. policies, which are overwhelmingly bipartisan, and busy turning Earth into a blasted, burning hellscape that no non-billionaire will be able to survive.
For those who've repeatedly insisted that deep down Democrats stand for harm reduction, it’s become obvious that hiring someone else, whether it's ICE or the IDF, to do your raping, killing, torturing, and stealing, while you cut and paste lofty-sounding phrases into your fundraising emails and public remarks, is not and never was harm reduction.
Just because your name might not literally appear in the Epstein files does not confirm your opposition to human trafficking and the most depraved forms of human degradation and exploitation. If you fund or invest in rape, murder, torture, and theft, you are at least as guilty as whomever you hired to do the dirty work. Just ask any mob boss in history.
The number of Democratic or Republican lawmakers who actually want to see the world's worst war criminals face the music is effectively zero. Trump, Biden, Harris, Blinken, Obama, Bush, Netanyahu are literal serial killers who will never be held accountable for their well documented and completely public crimes. (We did put them all on the guest list yesterday at our show in The Hague, but sadly none showed up.)
There was a time when politicians actually attempted to appeal to the hearts and minds of voters. But 2020s establishment politicians of both parties engage in little more than Orwellian gaslighting. "Biden and Harris really care about Palestinians... ICE murders and police brutality... the climate... abortion... student loan debt... healthcare... prosecuting Trump..." etc etc. The real goal of today's ruling class is to make Americans lose their minds from being bombarded day after day with utter nonsense.
One explanation for the pathetic nostalgia many liberals now express for the good old days of Bush and Cheney is that at least they cared about public opinion. Sure, their ever-shifting sales pitch for why Americans should pay for the destruction of Iraq was nothing but lies, but at least they bothered to try and convince us. Now politicians devote themselves to a new and esoteric calling: generating unending, mind-numbing, paralyzing confusion, outrage and overwhelm.
Our military defeat in Iraq was always part of the plan. In retrospect it's easy to see that from Korea to Iran, no U.S. hot or cold war since WW2 was ever meant to end in an actual military victory. All that blood and money was wasted simply to:
- save face or consolidate power in an election year
- further expand the military industrial complex
- obliterate and impoverish the countries hosting the wars, especially if they were anti-capitalist or defied U.S. control
- provide profit opportunities for U.S. reconstruction, real estate, and fossil fuel companies
The billionaires busy selling new technologies for the more efficient killing of human beings, destroying the planet for future generations, buying news media, buying Democrat and Republican politicians, evading their taxes, and crashing the world economy, were never going to be held accountable for the millions that die unnecessarily as a result. It's all a numbers game to them, with a certain element of risk, but with odds that have been calculated in advance to be in their favor.
Billionaires and politicians read the papers just like the rest of us. They know that if the U.S. and Israel are allowed to keep up their current pace of violence, weapons sales, carbon emissions, A.I. weapons development, and dehumanization, they are on course to make survival all but impossible. Not just for Hamas or Hezbollah, not just for Americans and Israelis, but for every single living being that has ever evolved on our miraculous planet.
The only exceptions to this planned devastation will be for those few humans who can afford to purchase their protection and escape. Today's billionaires are well aware that the planet is headed either for environmental collapse, nuclear war, or world revolution. And soon. They know this better than anyone, since they are the ones deliberately causing the polycrisis.
Anything billionaires, or their paid puppets in government or media, might say about saving the world with exciting new technologies or policy tweaks, is directly contradicted by those billionaires' own actions. Why else would they be building remote bunkers far from likely nuclear blast points? Why would they be using our taxes to amass A.I.-enhanced armies/police/border control tasked with protecting their private property? Why would they be incarcerating human beings at world-record rates? Why would they be hoarding food and water so intensely? Why would they be constructing and testing rocket ships?
Either our empire completely collapses in a total failure to feed, shelter and otherwise care for its inhabitants, triggered by one too many wars or natural disasters, or is obliterated along with everything else in nuclear armageddon, or we are headed for a revolution against the current ruling and ownership class. Certainly never in history has this level of economic inequality been allowed to continue for long. At the same time, any potential revolution is being actively sabotaged by those who have the most to lose: the super-rich, and our two dominant U.S. political parties.
We are asked to believe that those responsible for our imminent collapse are Hamas, Hezbollah, and poor immigrants from Latin America. Those of us living in the imperial core, with some ability to affect the outcome, must now ask ourselves if this is remotely true. After all, such entities have made no threat to annex American territory or subjugate or wipe out its people, as the U.S. or Israel have done against them. They aren't the ones asking the U.S. taxpayer for bombs and A.I. killing machines. Nor is any pro-Palestine or anti-ICE protester in the U.S. petitioning our government to give them any.
That's why framing political discourse as a debate between "pro-Israel" and "pro-Palestine" is completely bogus. It sounds as if we're arguing over whether to send all those bombs, bullets and fighter jets to Israel or to Palestine. To eliminate the legal rights of Palestinians or of Israelis. Meanwhile the idea that our taxes might go towards our own wellbeing, or anything other than Israeli weapons, apartheid and genocide, remains a topic forbidden by both parties. The belief that life and liberty might be inherent rights, not needing to be earned, and not doled out on the basis of race or religion, is now considered terrorism.
Iran was the first country to say out loud that the war they were forced into was a war against the Epstein Class. Against those who would destroy the world to satisfy their own lusts for blood, money, legal impunity, and underage girls. This is no rhetorical exaggeration. Amnesty has confirmed that Israel is now the world’s leading killer of humans. The soon-to-be-merged militaries of the U.S. and Israel are the top carbon emitter in history, armed with nuclear bombs, and rapidly making the world uninhabitable. This merger creates the most lethal and despicable entity ever to inhabit our planet.
While the governments of, say, China, or Iran, are undoubtedly evil, they aren't the ones stealing American tax dollars to shoot us in the street, or incarcerate and impoverish us at such deranged rates, or bring about near-extinction-level famine in the next two or three generations. No entity in existence could possibly be more evil than our very own billionaire class, backed by bipartisan corrupt lawmakers, a far right court system, and the unimaginable violence of a merged, nuclear-armed U.S.-Israeli military, now openly and systematically annihilating all human laws, values and the possibility of life on our planet.
