That opening image is beautifully done and really sums up the corrupted and crumbling western world order.
As scholars of fascism always note, when a fascist tells you they are going to do something, believe them. When a top government official casually talks of a "final solution" that is not a slip-up .. that is a clear statement of intention. When another top official declares she's a proud fascist, believe her ... and understand the full scope and depth of dark depravity of what that means. And as these two clearly demonstrate, fascism is gender neutral. Women can be just as evil as men.
Polite silence in the face of such depravity is complicity. Complicity with war crimes is a war crime. You may never have held a rifle but through your silence you pull the trigger ... or drop the bomb ... or starve the child. Your guilt of complicity follows you, and as we all know -- karma can be a real bummer.
As the old quote by someone who spent eight years in Nazi concentration camps notes:
"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."
—Martin Niemöller
The opposition to the militarized police citizen suppression operation of Cop City in Atlanta is an example. The tools and techniques of suppression and conquest are always brought home to control the citizens who have been bled dry to fund empire. Note how Cop City protesters are now being hunted down and prosecuted as "terrorists".
At the end of all empires the weapons and lies that spread the empire are always brought home to beat down and control the uprising of citizens bled dry to fund the empire and fill the ranks of conquering armies. The American empire is imploding. Deluded citizens are awakening. They are hurt ... and they are angry. This is not a Republican/Democrat thing. It is not Right vs Left. It is -- and only ever is -- about TOP vs BOTTOM. It's class. Speak up for all, or suffer your fate alone, in silence.

"Polite silence in the face of such depravity is complicity."
Exactly. Today the mainstream media narrative "spinners" are trying to paint a picture of Aaron Bushnell as a mentally ill individual who didn't want to go and fight in a " just war". There are even trolls on X/Twitter saying "What genocide?" and that Aaron was a conspiracy nut or lied to by "liberal elements" about a genocide going on in Gaza. When We the People are faced with this level of gaslighting it's time to drop the "polite silence" and rip into the liars and media manipulators and tell them where they can go and why. There is no such thing as a "just genocide" and the tyrants know this to be true. It's time to ram the truth down their gullets until they choke on it and yield power to the justice of the people.
"A pawn walked off the board & chose his way...may he be remembered along with countless others whose names we don't know. i will always remember."
A beautiful "poem" there. We the People are painted as "terrorists" for believing in truth and justice. The despots in power believe they are invincible. It's time more of us make our voices heard and repeat the "quiet parts" back at the tyrants as we march them off to their own "final solution" of prison and/or the guillotine.
Isn't the world amazingly evil? I have to pinch myself sometimes. I feel like I've become an actor in a horror movie some days. I want this horror movie to end and end soon. Forever! But it won't end without our taking action to shut the whole corrupt and evil system down once and for all. The quiet part needs to be screamed into every ear of every tyrant who refuses to hear it.
The recent primary "non committed" vote in Michigan gives evidence that the people are catching on to the quiet part. Let's hope this level of awareness spreads.
It's a "top vs. bottom" or class war thing going on. There's no such thing as a "chosen people" since if you truly believe in a Higher Power that created life on this planet, you'd know this Creator made ALL human beings in the Creator's image. It's no accident of history to read that Zionism was created by avowed atheists. They didn't believe in God/Higher Power. Zionists believe themselves "superior" to all others who get in the way of their plans. Narcissists like them are the worst types of sociopaths. That's why it's imperative we lock up these "mini gods" away forever for the good of all humanity.
Great column, art and links. Thanks.

We need to come together, or die separately and, dammit, the time is short.

Amazing how evil we can be in 2024.

Here we are seeing the plan of the New Order enacted.. With Israel proving the jews are the master race,by ignoring World Laws and Treaties.
Sadly almost all of our ruling caste agree with Israel, out of dogma,as well as greed.
It's the dogma that we have to fight.
We do that by refusing to allow any race to declare that they are "God's chosen people ".
No one has the right to that claim.
It's a "top vs. bottom" or class war thing going on.
