BILLY BOB—The truth is that the ruling Western establishment is not agile enough. It is not organized well enough to manage, much less save, a crumbling empire. Sure, it can wreak havoc, it can sow destruction, it can reap misery, it can double down on failure, avoiding and projecting responsibility onto others for the humanitarian catastrophes that result from its own policies, but it can’t build anything worthwhile or develop and prosecute a plan that seeks to turn all the current losses into wins. They are too fractured, they are too incompetent, there is too much chaos, there are too many independent interests and centers of power that are too adamant (and selfish) in the violent pursuit of their own narrow interests, for any sensible or rational plan to congeal.

‘AUTOMATED MURDER’: ISRAEL’S ‘ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE’ IN GAZA
23 minutes readPATRICK LAWRENCE—CARA MARIANNA—The Biden regime supplies Israel with weaponry to prosecute its criminal siege of Gaza’s 2.3 million Palestinians. It gives the apartheid state diplomatic cover at the United Nations and legal cover at the International Court of Justice. It distorts and obscures the IDF’s “Stone Age” conduct. All of this requires us to speak now not of Israel’s genocide but of the Israeli–U.S. genocide.

Idiot Republicans Are Saying Genocide Joe Has ‘Abandoned Israel’
19 minutes readCAITLIN JOHNSTONE—In reality, the only reason Republicans have begun trying to frame Biden as anti-Israel is because only through fiction and fantasy can America’s two mainstream parties pretend there are any significant differences between them. They’re both insanely supportive of Israel and its crimes. They both support war, militarism, imperialism, capitalism and oligarchy. The only areas in which there’s any meaningful disagreement between them are the issues that don’t inconvenience the powerful in any way like whether or not you’re allowed to have an abortion or whether it’s good or bad to be mean to trans people — and even those issues are only used to keep everyone’s interest and attention locked into mainstream politics and diverted from revolutionary sentiment.

The Politicized FBI Is Creating Terror Plots and Entrapping Americans | The Gov Whitmer Kidnapping Plot Kim Iversen
35 minutes readKIM IVERSEN—Iversen and Christina Urso report on a clear and extremely dangerous trend, the politicization of American security agencies. Urso is an independent journalist, currently directing and producing her first documentary film on the FBI’s Gov. Whitmer “kidnap plot” called “Kidnap and Kill: an FBI Terror Plot.” While some of this unconstitutional chicanery by the Democrats (one wing of the Uniparty), may now be partially directed at their established political opponents (Repblicans), the ultimate target is always the pro-democracy masses, as this is part of the broader class war waged by an oligarchy in decline.

MAX BLUMENTHAL—There are three major factors behind the shift: first, many on the right have begun to share the same sense of disgust and indignation with Israel that progressives have. Who can suppress the pangs of outrage when confronted with the live-streamed industrial level Israeli butchering of children each day for the past 6 months?
Second, more American Christians recognize the threat Zionism poses to Palestinian Christians, whether in Gaza, Bethlehem or Jerusalem. The Christ at the Checkpoint Initiative Munther Isaac helps to lead and US groups like Sabeel have provided a critical network for connecting US churches to Palestine.
Finally, American conservatives are recognizing that the Israel lobby’s influence runs counter to the ethos of America First, and that many of the most heavily promoted right wing influencers are just controlled opposition projects whose careers were astroturfed by pro-Israel billionaires.
