¡Brava! I don’t even know how to start talking about your insightfulness here, but here are just two that stood out:
1) The Death Star reference says it all!
2) These words:If you’ve ever dealt with bullies before—and anyone who has ever attended K-12 schools in person in the US probably has—you know there’s only one way to shut a bully down. You refuse to give in to their terror tactics. You don’t stay quiet about their abuse. You snitch on them to the authorities and inform the public what the bullies are up to and shame them for their violent actions. You don’t suffer in silence or pay the bully off to prevent them from attacking you again because that will only encourage the bully to keep doing what they have been doing all along.”
Thank you! I can't take any credit for the Death Star meme. I'm always on the look out for any graphic that can communicate my premise in a quick and easy manner. That one popped up on my Twitter feed and I just had to borrow it. And I learned the hard way (like most of us) how to deal with bullies. We can't keep giving in to them. Look where it gets us? In the middle of a genocide... Supporters of bullies are no better and are often worse, which is the case for the US. We could use our wealth for so many useful things in the world--food, health care, infrastructure improvements--but we're spending it on weapons and wars. Sigh!
The Move to Amend movement has been working hard at getting the money out of politics for more than a decade now. I hope that we'll see this come about someday soon, especially if we can get a Green president into office like Dr. Jill Stein. Jill has also been a big supporter for publicly funded elections like most other countries have.
The NYT is just a joke of a newspaper. I think their crappy coverage of what's happening in Gaza will eventually erode the rest of their reputation away.
I like very much your accurate comments and notes about “zio-bullies”. We are raising our granddaughters, now 13 and 15 and we have been ultra aware of bullies in schools, on line, at the malls, etc. you are one hundred percent correct and spot on re: zio-bullies and how to take them down (eventually, hopefully, etc). Which is the exact opposite of responses received from Biden and Blinken. You have inspired me and i have a couple of other ideas:
1). “Failed Secstate” when referring to Blinken. (secstate is an abbreviation for Secretary of State used inside the U.S. government.) as you know, the U.S. loves to label various countries that are in disagreement with it or have been bombed to smithereens by it as failed states. I surmise that the USA is the definition of a failed state.
2) Zio-POTUS (President of the USA) could refer to Biden and/or Trump as needed.
Thanks, I gotta borrow those terms, Aleta! Definitely we are a failed state with a FailedSecState who is pretty much running things into the ground in order to make the Zio-POTUS (and his Zionist masters in Izrealhell) happy.
Thank you for your intelligent, knowledgeable, and witty analysis. You have also provided an abundant compilation of resources for the real news that concern and affect us all.
These zio-bullies absolutely and totally disgust me. I have no doubt that "President Blinken" is taking notes on how to use IDF tactics on ordinary Americans. We have only a short time to fight and overthrow these bastards, so we'd better get to work on how to do it the most efficiently.
There isn't much time for us to act. Every day brings the next genocide funded and backed by the military-industrial complex billionaires closer to our doors, that is if they don't decide to drop a nuclear bomb on us. I think the only thing preventing the oligarchs from doing that is they're afraid the radiation would spoil their tans.
You scratched on why I will never get involved in a physical protest movement:
I like to use my fists. I can hear it on the news now; grandmother (SEXY grandma😉) Beats Pro-IsraHelli counterprotester; puts him/her in hospital.
I’ve been this way since elementary school, full of righteous anger. I was tall for my age. When the boys would pick on the smaller girls, my fists would fly. I think the only reason I wasn’t expelled from my parochial school is the fact that I was an outstanding student.
Don’t get me wrong. I’d love to shred a Ziopath. But it wouldn’t be a good look for our movement. I’ll leave that for the kids who are able to keep their tempers.
I hear ya! The student protesters have a ton more patience than I have, considering how the cops have let zio-bully vigilantes onto their campuses to beat them up. Fortunately, I've not had to come up face-to-face with a "Ziopath" (another good term to borrow!) at a protest in person so far. That's helped me from swinging a fist at anyone, although sometimes I wish I could reach through the screen and choke a few Ziopaths... In person, we just get the occasional middle finger (the "broken peace sign") and a shout like "You're Hamas!" from certain a-hole drivers who drive past our corner. And there's strength in numbers--I'm sure my fellow protesters would help me not to escalate the situation. We're making friends and impressing people into agreeing with us that genocide is just plain WRONG.
Cindy, I believe I may have been mistaken in whom I was replying to.
Ha—I am often mistaken for a man here I think in large part because of my predilection towards physical violence (yeah, I’ve had a couple of PPO’s on me! 😉) and my coarse language.
I’m a cowgirl now…been living on our farm for many years. But I was born and raised in Flint. You can take the girl outta Flint but you can’t take Flint outta the girl.
I feel a very strong sense of sisterhood with you and Jenny. I thank my life for having the privilege of finding both of you.
I live just a hour or two south of Flint. I've lived out west, too, and enjoyed watching the rodeo, so we have those two things in common.
I've just kept writing using my initials as I did back when I wrote a column for a newspaper. Folks couldn't tell if I was a boy or a girl (this is almost 40 years ago now) and I got all sorts of comments saying they wanted to punch my lights out... Okay, really friendly! But even writing under a "feminine" pen name doesn't stop the rude/violent comments, so choose what you wanna call yourself and stick to your metaphorical guns!
There’s a great little sanctioned rodeo in the hamlet of Gaines in July ( SW Genesee Co.) sponsored by the Knights of Columbus. Our best friend supplies all the required hay and we help harvest it!
We always root for the calves to avoid getting roped, lol. The barrel racers are my favorite. What horsewomen! And there’s a beer tent and music afterwards. Maybe I’ll see you there! 😁

I learned the hard way too. Keep doing what you do. It helps more you can ever realize!
We need to expose the financial corruption that has Israel owning Congress. Until we can get our so-called reps to actually work for us, all is lost.
We also need to expose the New York Times for the propaganda rag it is.

Thank you for your kind words. Every little bit helps bring about a better world is my motto.

Hi Mark

(BTW, I'm not "Mark". I'm a "Cindy". ) ;-)
Apologies, Cindy!
I think we may have been separated at birth 😉
That's okay--I'm "gender neutral" as this blog icon. :)
They had to separate us--the world couldn't take two genius anti-genociders in one place! ;-)

Well, I am an equal opportunity mold hater. I hate mildew, black mold, moldy cheese, and toxic moldy ideologies equally.
What really pisses me off is that my county job won't even give me any diversity credits for this! It's so unfair.
Well, being a mold IS a "federally protected status," don't you know... ;-)
