We are serfs ruled by obscenely rich, omnipotent masters who loot the U.S. Treasury, pay little or no taxes & have perverted the judiciary, the media & the legislative branches of government to strip us of civil liberties & give them the freedom to commit financial fraud & theft.

Zionists have turned the WWII holocaust into a fully functioning exploitative industry, Jewish white supremacism, and the genocide in Gaza is the product of that industry.

The American People Don’t Want a Bigger Military Budget
Only one in ten American voters want a bigger military budget. Congress keeps approving massive spending increases anyway, as it did when it voted for a nearly $1 trillion military budget last week.

The ceasefire in Gaza is a one-sided sham.

Israeli forces have never stopped targeting Palestinians and brutally murdering them while they sleep in their refugee camp tents.

This is genocide with total impunity - a gift from the British government.

Israel has worked hard to equate Jew with Israeli.

It should come as no shock then, that as they press their genocide, that antisemitism would rise. Netanyahu has the audacity to blame others for the antisemitism, taking no responsibility for his mass murder of Palestinian women and children.

Why is the far right triumphing across the West?

Because ordinary citizens are told they're trapped in a zero-sum game - competing with migrants for scarce resources.

This is a lie.

A failed economic order is to blame:

The Zack Polanski effect is simple. It’s honest and sensible ideas put over to people in an non-patronising way. After the years of political gaslighting, disingenuous, hate filled rhetoric (from all sides) people see hope again.

The blockade of Venezuela is a disgusting echo of U.S. imperialism in Latin America. We were lied to about Iraq and WMDs, and an entire generation paid the price.

Here we are again.

Life is not linear and neither is progress...
We like to believe in the idea human progress and social justice. Yet climate change and ecological collapse are very likely to cause political stresses that nullifies legal precedents like abolition, and which bring about agrarian and manufacturing crises in which people are forced into labor.

Nothing but bad news on employment for months now...
Payrolls fell -105k in October and rose +64k in November. August and September payrolls were also revised down a total of 33k.

These data suggest VIRTUALLY NO EMPLOYMENT GROWTH since April ("Liberation day").

Unemployment is now up to 4.6%.

This is a tricky report, so stay tuned.
