  • Edit3: improved a bit of the: phrasing, grammer, removed words

    I agree, and I think most of the working class would as well.

    Quick thoughts:

    1. We start by informing others of the non-status quo views; all of us are born listening to and believing the corporate and military propaganda.
    2. Then another next step is to not vote for the duopoly, with the long-term goal of a real third party for the working class. which third party will change depending on who you are talking with, but it is better to have alternatives that do not include the duopoly.
    3. Many grassroots movements have grown and died due to following the person on top; then that person gives in or has been a sellout since the beginning. They became career politicians like the rest of the swap; we can all name a few of them that were popular.

    We must keep to the grassroots movement and not fall into becoming apologetics or celebrity worshipers once they are in office.

    The mantra I try to follow is:

    We should focus our actions, time, and resources on Direct Action, Mutual Aid, and Community Outreach. If you do engage in Electoral Politics do not support the Duopoly (Red or Blue Team). No War but Class War!


  • It was known by people that read and listen to independent journalists. Good to see main stream media finally talking about this possibility.

    Here are some short videos where it is mentioned:

    1. Hostage families accuse Israeli army of killing loved ones [06:22 | JAN 30 24 | The Grayzone] https://youtu.be/h9iFiuqkmbE
    2. Prof Mearsheimer: IDF killed a ‘good number of Israelis’ on October 7 [01:33 | DEC 18 23 | Middle East Eye] https://youtu.be/iZlQOjq4EvM

    The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate discuss new allegations by family members of Israelis held in Gaza that the Israeli military is deliberately killing their loved ones in order to prevent a prisoner swap and prolong the war.

    Renowned scholar Professor John Mearsheimer recently asserted that on October 7th, it was the Israeli regime, not Hamas, responsible for the deaths of many Israelis. He also delves into their official “Hannibal doctrine,” which involves the controversial practice of killing their own people.


    This was not the first order given by the division with the intent of foiling kidnapping even at the expense of the lives of the kidnapped, a procedure known in the army as the “Hannibal procedure.”

    This is the procedure when an enemy invades Israeli territory, upon which a division commander can assume extraordinary authority, including the employment of heavy fire inside Israeli territory, in order to block an enemy raid.

    “Everyone was shocked by the number of terrorists who had penetrated the base. Even in our nightmares, we didn’t have plans for such an attack. No one had a clue about the number of people kidnapped or where army forces were. There was crazy hysteria, with decisions made without any verified information,” he continued.

    “Everyone knew by then that such vehicles could be carrying kidnapped civilians or soldiers,” a source in Southern Command told Haaretz. “There was no case in which a vehicle carrying kidnapped people was knowingly attacked, but you couldn’t really know if there were any such people in a vehicle. I can’t say there was a clear instruction, but everyone knew what it meant to not let any vehicles return to Gaza.”

    Over all the months that have passed, the IDF has refused to say whether this procedure was employed against civilians who had been taken hostage. It now seems that even if the answer is positive, the question may have been only a partial one. The actions of Hiram may have simply been congruent with the way the IDF operated that day.








  • New of BRICS and going away from petrodollar, it will be in the history books, if allowed.

    Interesting news keeps coming out.

    India has been ramping up purchases of both coking and thermal coal from Russia since Moscow redirected exports from EU countries and offered substantial discounts to Asian buyers. Despite its efforts to expand renewable energy projects, India continues to rely heavily on coal as its primary source of power generation. Huge increase in Russian coal exports to India

    Consulting firm Yakov and Partners (formerly McKinsey Russia) has projected that India will surpass China as the top buyer of Russian coal within the next decade.

    Moscow is seeking to both ensure interconnectivity throughout the INSTC and launch regular freight shipping lines, President Vladimir Putin has said. The volume of goods shipped via the INSTC is expected to almost triple over the next seven years. The Russian leader has suggested establishing a logistics hub for the corridor on the African coast.


  • Trump has attempted to muddy the waters by characterizing RFK Jr. as a “Democrat plant” and “a radical left liberal.” No one should be fooled by this desperate attempt to define RFK Jr. as a liberal, or even a Democrat. His policy stances read more like a resume to be Trump’s running mate. He and third-party candidate, Jill Stein, are parroting views right out of the MAGA/Vladimir Putin playbook and yet, perhaps counterintuitively, they risk dividing the anti-Trump coalition and putting a convicted felon back in power.

    Neither third-party candidate has any chance of winning the presidency. But, for a moment, let’s put aside their lack of a path to 270 electoral votes and talk about their agendas.


    Jason Call, Green Party Campaign Manager for JillStein2024, pushes back on this article:

    @CallForCongress

    Corporate media just lies and lies and lies…

    @DrJillStein currently is on enough ballots to potentially win 279 electoral college votes

    Yet Salon says neither she nor Kennedy have a pathway to 270

    Lies and lies and lies
