CH—Our suicidal march began long before Donald Trump and his bizarre court of buffoons, sycophants, grifters and Christian fascists took power. It began when the ruling class, especially under the Reagan and Clinton administrations, set out to harvest the country and empire for personal profit.

There is a word for these people. Traitors.

These traitors, ensconced in the leadership of the two ruling parties, stripped us of assets and power slowly. They used subterfuge, lies and legalized bribery. They pretended to honor electoral politics, checks and balances, a free press and the rule of law while subverting all of these democratic pillars. That old system, however flawed, was hollowed out. It was turned over to the amoral and the idiotic — look at the Supreme Court or Congress — those willing to do the bidding of the billionaire class.

DD—The video discusses the controversial cancellation of Ramy Elgenor’s graduation speech at Rutgers University. Elgenor, executive producer of the Oscar-nominated documentary The Voice of Hind Rajab, faced backlash due to his association with a film that exposes Israeli military violence against Palestinians, specifically the killing of 5-year-old Hind Rajab and her family. The documentary, widely praised for its emotional storytelling and authentic narrative, was targeted by the Creative Community for Peace (CCFP), an organization with strong ties to pro-Israel interests within Hollywood. CCFP led a campaign to smear the film as one-sided propaganda in an effort to prevent it from winning the Oscar for Best International Feature Film. Despite its nomination, The Voice of Hind Rajab did not win, which the video attributes in part to this lobbying effort.

HUA BIN—To start out, let’s first call out the complete cognitive dissonance of the US ruling elite which has been the real shock and awe of this war of choice.

The Commander-in-Chief (more accurately, Liar-in-Chief) daily boasts of unparalleled military success and threatens escalation of violence, echoed by his sycophant bootlicker Secretary of War Crimes.

If they are to be believed, the US military is better than the Wehrmacht in 1940, who wiped out France and the Low Countries in 6 weeks. Or the Soviet Red Army who killed about 140,000 Japanese Kwantung Army and captured another 640,000 in the Far East in exactly 23 days in August 1945.

In his deranged mind, Trump probably imagines himself a greater military malice to the world than the Mongol Golden Hordes.

DD—The video transcript centers on a controversy surrounding a University of Michigan commencement speech by Professor Derek Peterson. Peterson praised pro-Palestinian student activists for raising awareness about the “injustice and inhumanity of Israel’s war in Gaza,” which sparked intense backlash from various groups accusing him of promoting anti-Semitism. The speech segment praising the activists received the loudest ovation from the audience, indicating strong student support. However, the university president issued an apology, calling the remarks hurtful and inappropriate for a graduation ceremony, claiming they did not represent the institution’s official stance. This led to criticism of the administration for censoring political speech and for perceived hypocrisy, given that political speeches by prominent figures have historically been part of such ceremonies.
