When someone realizes that someone they loved & trusted has been lying to them, they often become extremely vindictive. Many people in the West are waking up to the fact that they have been lied to for generations. What is the blowback going to be?
Whatever justice is meted out in response to the US genocide in Gaza, it ought to be at the hands of the Arabs. If their kids even survive, they are going to be traumatized for life. Not just your run of the mill traumatized, either. More than 2,000 children have had one or more limbs amputated WITH NO ANASTETHIC. Right now in Gaza there is nowhere to go, nothing to do, no water, no food, and the five mile by twenty-five mile strip is being mercilessly bombed. What court is going to administer justice for the hundreds of thousands killed and injured by the United States in Gaza and the West Bank? The US is the principal here. Israel's just running errands for the Master. I was stunned and repulsed when I read Alexander Cockburn back in the day advocating nuclear weapons for every country. That's not Alex politics I thought. The more I thought abut it however, and came to realize the monstrosity of the US ruling class, it made and more sense. If the United States can have nuclear weapons, why can't every country?
For me, I need to make a distinction between the citizens of a country, and it's ruling class. Many things have been done by my government in my name the last 40 years, and my permission was never asked. Tremendous effort is made by to control the narrative and unfortunately many people buy in, but for most, if they understood the truth they would not have accepted what was done.
This I believe is true for most nations & peoples, which is why governments work so hard to demonize the "official enemies'.
I appreciate the sensitivity and depth of concern and knowledge you express about these issues. Your comment about beliefs, however, stuck in my abscessed tooth. Not to rub knuckles on breast or anything, but I independently studied Nietzsche for 10 years. One of the first of his ideas I encountered nearly knocked me out of my soul: "Beliefs very often have very little to do with reality." I agree of the existence dividing the ordinary US American from her government. I don't know what purpose belief or disbelief in the magnitude of the viciousness that has been unleashed on Palestine is immaterial to the level of destruction and devastation. My mom won't allow a breath of the word Gaza to be spoken. Even though she's complicit and culpable in the gargantuan crimes. Beliefs don't she light on the culpability of the aggressors, and the level. The term "the narrative" was one sent to the gallows in Alexander Cockburn's departing broadside, Guillotined: Being a Summary Broadside Against the Corruption of the English Language. Recommended for its breezy hilarity and terse erudition. Available at: https://www.counterpunch.org/product/guillotined/.
Yes, control of language is critical to maintaining control of the narrative. By defining someone as a terrorist you can marginalize their voice. Debate in 2025 consists of smears, half truths and inuendo. Truth has very little to do with any thing. Since most people have no independent source of information on the subject they accept what they are being told. The more fragmented our society is, the less likely they are to encounter information that would challenge the narrative. Choose your issue, and this is likely true.
The legitimate governments of Gaza and Yemen are under attack by the US.. but ISIS / Alqaida in Syria are America's friends! That tells you all you need to know on that point I think. The Yemenis are complying with a UN resolution that requires all nations to do whatever it take to stop the genocide.. the US is perpetuating that genocide.. the implications are so clear a small child couldn't miss them!
Does Pam Bondi realize that first generation immigrants commit LESS crimes??
"National studies have examined incarceration rates and prosecutions of immigrants in the country, overwhelmingly finding that immigrants of all legal statuses commit crimes at lower rates than those who were born in the United States."
The answer to your question Katie is easy: Western already know truth is fake,up is down, right is wrong so, hey ...refusing to abide by a court order is actually abiding by that court order..
They are not even trying to cover up a genocide which kind of cancels out all other issues. We are all a nuisance, a wrinkle in a perfectly pressed shirt, a typo on an invitation, a virus, a terrorists, the enemy. These creatures don't believe you have the right to exist what makes you think you will get justice, politics, or reason for that matter. They don't want discourse, they want you to die preferably far away so they can't smell your carcass. They were never part of the human race to begin with, so the crowds that cheered for them, but that they also have complete distain for, will not be missed, never mind people who disagree with them.
This is very dangerous.

Those who enter our country illegally are, by definition, criminals.
That guy Witkov seems to possess a brain.. so htf did that happen? Does Trump know this?
