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.
Someone sent me a link to this handbook for organizing. I have not had a chance to read it, but it looks interesting. There are links at the bottom to reviews and an excerpt: "Practical Radicals
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.
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.
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.
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.
