BREAKING: Good Is Finally Winning—and the Parasites Are Screaming
You want to know why the usual suspects are foaming at the mouth over the new humanitarian aid system in Gaza?
Because for the first time in decades, aid isn’t being funneled through terrorist middlemen, warlords in keffiyehs, or corrupt UN bureaucrats who think a five-star …

Despite safety warnings, 56,000 people showed up to the annual Walk for Israel in Toronto today. It was peaceful with only about 100 Pro-Hamas protestors trying unsuccessfully to disrupt the march. 🇮🇱💪🇨🇦

“There are no Jews in Gaza and barely any Hindus left in Pakistan.
Meanwhile, millions of Muslims live freely in Israel and India.
Yet somehow, Israel and India are the ones labeled "racist."
Make it make sense.”

I have an idea for those of you obsessed with the made up famine in Gaza. Redirect your attention to Sudan, a place that has urgent food insecurity, zero spotlight, millions in need, and 20x less aid than Gaza. And do ask yourself why you weren't already focused on this particular, larger, and real famine.🤔
Best article I’ve read for a clear, understandable dose of reality!

All 15 million Jews are responsible for what the IDF does. But not a single Muslim is responsible for any terror attack committed in the name of Islam.

To the UK, France, and Canada: Go Shove It
You sanctimonious, hypocritical cowards. How dare you threaten the one Jewish state on earth—after everything your nations did to us. You dare speak of “humanitarian values” while standing on piles of Jewish bones your ancestors buried beneath cobblestones, cathedrals, and charters of “civilized”…
Ultimately, both on the surface and within the substance, Orban's "Christian Democracy" is not Christian. It is cut from the same cloth that prepared Germany for WWII and the Holocaust. There is little to difference between Hitler's Nazism and Stalin's Communism or Soviets, nor with Putin's plan to restore Soviet Russia. Hitler's Holocaust and Stalin's starvation of Ukraine to establish state operated agriculture are both founded on the debasement of humanity. None of this right up to the DeSan…
"Hitler's Holocaust and Stalin's starvation of Ukraine to establish state operated agriculture are both founded on the debasement of humanity." One of the most well written and clear sentences I have ever read summarizing the far right government models. Well done.
Except that Stalin came from the far Left of Communism, Communism gone awry. Both Hitler and Stalin were ruthless dictators, totalitarian despots but each came from opposite ends of the political spectrum. It would seem better proof that any sort of absolute power, whether from the Left or the Right ultimately and inevitably leads to corruption of whatever first principles originally animated them.
JohnM. I would argue that the far right defined Stalin's government as "far left" to enable more effective demonization of Stalin's approach. In fact, "Communism", in its earliest definition, does not look even remotely like what Stalin created. Stalin created a right wing, centrally controlled, top down government where ONLY what Stalin wanted mattered. In true "communism" a "community" of people come together to govern themselves, share their lives, their assets and their talents in a common,…
I can’t even tell you how upsetting it is when a word with a wholesome meaning gets turned into an ‘evil’ word. Communism, Socialism, and now Christian and Republican. I did not know words can be kidnapped and used for different purposes. It is very effective for those who want to steal your mind.
And it's not just words. The American flag has also been commandeered by the far right.
The stealing of the flag just fries me. Not patriots, not Christian, not even decent.
I feel the same, Michele. When I see an American flag flying outside of a home....I think of what tfg did to our country. I also remember after 9/11 the wonderful feeling I had when I saw the American flag! I believe that action, as horrible as it was, united us but in a few short years.....tfg wrecked that feeling. His idol was Hitler.
I live in the Amereican South. When I see Old Glory flying, I'm glad it's not the Confederate Stars and Bars.
A leisurely drive through West Virginia will provide an abundant display of the flag of the Confederacy; along with numerous pro-Trump banners.
I'm uncomfortable with any symbol of nationalism, flags included. For most of us, at least those who didn't immigrate to the US, being born there was an act of serendipity so nothing to be proud of. Being born anywhere, is due to decisions made by our parents, so no achievement on our part and again nothing to be proud of. Once we engage in nationalism, we are saying that our group is more valuable than other groups - something I think we are at least partially hardwired to do. But, that same nationalism allows people to do the most horrendous things to other people, who just happened to have been born where they were born. At the very least it can allow us to believe that others matter less than we do so it's fine to send troops to their shores to kill them.
Thank you J Nol. Exactly my belief as well. Nations are fairly recent inventions and its invention is at the heart of our ongoing conflicts and, likely our eventual demise. As you factually state, all humans just happen to be born and raised in a particular culture and a political environment. As you stated, no creature decides where and when to come into existence. Consequently, when we begin our individual existences, we are cultured within that accidental environment and supposed to absorb t…
This reminds me of an old movie, "The Gods Must be Crazy". that gave us a look at what happens when humans begin to have 'stuff" that others don't have. Does this lead to borders to keep others away from our "stuff" and hierarchies of people who have a lot of stuff and those who have varying degrees of less of it going down the pyramid?
Right on point, J! I read a couple of books about the beginning of human civilisations. According to those the have the expertise in this field, when humankind discovered it is possible to plant seeds and grow ‘stuff’, (to borrow terminology from another ‘expert’) humans had to form what would eventually become armies as the lands growing stuff required protection from other humans whose stuff were failing. Consequently we have villages and then castles etc etc. I wonder who was the gender that…
Keep it in perspective. Flags have been around since the Ancient Greco-Roman period. It is symbolism. It is identity. The Flag of the Confederacy is seen by some as a symbol of racism and ethic slaughter; evil. Yes, of course, the American Flag can be seen in the same light, especially by certain foreign countries where the U.S. all but destroyed their government.
I am keeping it in perspective. That's why I reject the use of or "protection" of symbols. And, I don't use it as a way to identify myself, having lived in several different countries. That they've been around for such a long time doesn't mean they should continue to hold such power over us. When I see a crowd of people waving them, for a sports event, or a parade, or standing with their hands over their hearts and pledging allegiance to one, I cringe. I also hear the echoes of crowds of people…
Well, as a U.S. Veteran whose family has served in our Military since The American Revolutionary War, I differentiate between symbolism and "such power over us". Flags are tribal insignia/banners. I respect your position/take. For me, "pride of country" does not then allow me to ignore or negate the bad my country has committed.
This is chilling. I highly recommend reading this. I have to hand it to him. This is a well thought out plan and it is being implemented daily. We seem powerless to stop it.
