Support for the idea of a strong third party has never been so widespread in recent times, notes Jimmy Dore, quoting the latest Gallup polls on the subject. To succeed this new party must not become co-opted by liberals or social democrats, a big risk considering it is welcoming almost all comers at this point. Remaining true to actual progressive goals: authentic democracy, dismantlement of the imperialist “constant wars”/meddling system; the implementation at last of medicare for all and decent pay for all workers is likely to be its biggest internal challenge.

Former NYTimes Journo Approves Killing Children
8 minutes readBlatant zionist bias of the New York Times is again exposed in the actions of Bari Weiss, a prominent member of the current generation of fake leftists filling the social media channels and airwaves with “woke” morality. Weiss—like almost all the corporate media— is shameless in her apologetics for the Israeli bombing of Gaza, a virtual open air prison where people can’t find shelter against bombing and shelling by an enemy armed to the teeth.

ISRAEL SHAMIR—Gaza sends her homemade rockets to Tel Aviv. They can’t cause much damage; they are just bits of rusty iron, dangerous in the unlikely event of a direct hit, but they woke up the beast in the monster. He carefully took away every sharp object from her reach, he starved her for years to make her placid and compliant, he made sure she’d have no chance to see or gain freedom, and all of a sudden such terrible pain, such deep scratches! I have the right of self-defence, he shouts while unleashing his F-16 jets to bomb her into the stone age; and his sidekick, the senile US President, repeats after him: he has the right of self-defence! As long as she scratches, he may and should smack her! No cease-fire until she is beaten into obedience; and the US vetoed the Security Council resolution supported by 15 out of 16 members. To be on the safe side, the White House approved the sale of precise weaponry to Israel for the sum of $735 million, so they would be able to do a 9/11 to any high-rise of their choice, not only in New York. And they used the weapons to great effect.

Debunking Israel’s ‘Human Shield’ Defense in Gaza Massacre
8 minutes readAbby Martin provides a short but powerful rebuttal to Israeli claims that Hamas—a “terrorist organization”—is hiding behind civilians to attack Israel. Meanwhile, we have yet to hear one peep of protest from the usual Hollywood shitlibs: Where’s Rob Reiner, or Ben Affleck or George Clooney (worth about $500 MM) now? When not denouncing Palestinians, complete and deafening silence.

FRED REED—Even in my short two weeks recently in China, I saw that the Chinese do not believe in vertical motion. An American, encountering a mountain, would, sensibly enough, go up and over. This is not the Chinese way. They go through. Similarly, on finding a valley, they do not go down and up. They go across. There may be some genetic abnormality behind this, or maybe interbreeding with space aliens. But it results in hellacious bridges.
