    “If you believe The Official Story about everything that happens, then you’re not thinking, you’re repeating. If the only thing you question is the questioners, then you’re not an individual with your own mind, you are an enforcer of the status quo.” Caitlin Johnstone




  • Currently reading five books:

    1. Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray (it’s basically Real Housewives of Regency London. Loving it!)
    2. The Wings Upon Her Back by Samantha Wells (grimdark steampunk!)
    3. The World is Full of Divorced Women by Jackie Collins (racy 70s chick lit)
    4. Blue Skinned Gods by SJ Sindu (a blue boy in Tamil Nadu, India is believed to be the reincarnation of a Hindu god)
    5. Invisible Doctrine: The Secret History of Neoliberalism by George Monbiot & Peter Hutchison (freedom only for the rich while the rest of us are oppressed, surveilled, and exploited)

  • 27 million Soviets lost their lives to German Nazis in WWII. 13.7 million of those were civilians. The largest losses of human life in WWII. Modern Russians still revere communists like Lenin even though their current state is not communist. Communists are ideologically on the opposite end of the spectrum than Nazis.

    Even US-funded propaganda abroad Radio Free Europe acknowledges that Putin is not a fascist: “The experts generally believe that Putin’s Russia is not fascist. Although they note the existence of some similarities between Putinism and fascism, such as revanchism and “hypermasculine authority”, they argue that Putin’s Russia lacks the mass mobilization and the revolutionary nationalism which were fundamental characteristics of fascist movements.”

    Nazism and fascism are far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist. Putin may be his own flavor of evil, but he’s a traditionalist oligarch, not a Nazi or an imperialist, which many falsely claim.









  • If she backs it up with actions maybe. But words are empty and it’s too little too late. Her actions up until now have supported the occupying Zionist entity and its genocide. It’s hard for me and a lot of anti-Zionists to take her seriously when it is very obviously politically expedient for her to say this at this moment (especially right after Ana Kasparian called her out on twitter for her support of Israel). She’s still an opportunist that is part of an imperialist, Zionist party that is complicit in the murder of countless civilians across the globe, and, worst of all, doesn’t seem to understand that. You say “perfect is the enemy of the good” but what good is this for Gaza now when it is decimated and hundreds of thousands have been slaughtered, many still buried under the rubble?








  • They tortured & imprisoned the Ayatollahs in the same torture dungeons as everyone else (see the link in my previous post). And Americans wonder why Iranians had a revolution to take control of their country back. Wouldn’t you if a foreign country infiltrated you, did a coup to remove your democratically elected socialist leader (Mossadegh), and replaced him with a foreign puppet dictator king (the Shah) who had a secret police of Israeli-trained torturers (SAVAK)? 🇮🇱🇺🇸 = evil



  • But the party can see when voters leave their party and register with other parties. They can see people fleeing the Democratic Party and registering for parties like the Green Party or the California Peace & Freedom Party or just registering as Independent. They have access to this data. It sends a message.
