I Tracked Down the Billionaires "Rebuilding" Gaza from More Perfect Union

 

 

AOC, Gaza, and the Future of the Democratic Party  - Scahill and Grim for Drop Site 

If you think these guys are wrong, we are not fighting for the same things, while you try to convince the world that we are, which is helping no one.  In fact, it's hindering the ability for anyone to do so.  Intellectual dishonestly is a real fucking problem with people who want to be or appear righteous, but don't care to try to truly understand what that actually tangibly means for people who aren't like them or of their world and/or geological location (this includes people from the north/coasts that don't give a shit to understand the millions of people who are trapped under oppressive and racist govts in the south/mid-west).  Instead they must convince you, the person who for an entire lifetime has watched incrementalism provide the slowest, dumbest, often counter-productive (non) results, that, "you just don't understand the long game, mannnn! Harm reduction is the only answer," which is extremely subjective, has little to no scientific basis or agreed upon definition, and only counts certain people's lives to matter in "reducing harm." No one is saying it's not a valid theory, just that it has little real world meaning in today's turbo-paced technological, economic, and cultural acceptance of human beings as calculable expendable meatbags. When I hear privileged liberals, people who present themselves as leftists, carelessly throwing around that theory, it makes me think of out of touch boomers, even though they're Gen Xers or Millennials. I don't hear a lot of the 35 and unders treating the modern version of that concept very seriously.  That is a very specific kind of poly-sci addict outdated elitism that needs to be called out for what it is, which is more like, I'm comfortable, so don't rock the boat too much or do the minimum and just wait and see-ism. There are a lot of people who know what we're up against better than you do, and hug-tapping, I feel you bro bullshit doesn't help if you just keep pushing the same assholes and ideas that got us here.  Their only alternative is to accept it's either this type of piece of shit over here or this other type of piece of shit that's in front of me, instead of publicly destroying both of them every chance they get. 

We don't have time for your incrementalism in 2026, if we ever did.  Loud and brash fuckers along side the calm and cool assholes who only look down upon the fascists are what we need. Do everything out in the open, or you're doing nothing at all because it can all get systematically dismantled behind closed doors.  Use the law, publicly, loudly. When you get a corrupt judge that creates a case-law that is blatant corruption, tally that shit up, name names, present it to the people.  And when the nazis at CNN, CBS, FOX, MSNBC or the other pro-fascism legacy media keep insisting on bringing up stupid shit like, "BUT HASAN!" or racist shit like "BUT TEH MUSLIMS!" do what the right has been doing for 30 years, talk over them and talk about what you want to talk about, everywhere you go. Call out their very blatant racism and laziness. Attack them for what they are, fascism laundering services, they'll perk up to that shit.  We don't need them anymore, they need us.  It is hilarious how self-described himbo Hasan is fucking all of this shit up for them, they don't know what do with him. They thought they had perfectly fostered this timeline and expertly drawn up taking out a public "Communist" in their blueprints (Has is not a communist, just as he is not a religious Muslim, but it's perfect to neither denounce, nor explicitly identify as either in order to expose their openly racist and fascist perspective in their quest to try to take him out). They didn't expect someone who is unbothered and sticks to his points, admits when he made a mistake, or points out when the opposition makes a good point, before destroying it.  They certainly didn't count on that "mark" being good looking (we're all either Bernie or goblins in their minds) and funny.  Everyone forgets how disarmingly funny he can be. They didn't know that chosen "Commie" would make their pundits and talking heads very visibly frustrated, left feeling insanely jealous or not be able to deny that when he has on those form fitting suits and thick mustache they can't help but quietly say to themselves, "god-damn."  Don't ever let them figure out what to do with you either.

Against the ruling class, slowly stopping the bleeding as your continuously poked in every limb, organ, orifice leads to you bleeding to death, even as every hole is very slowly bandaged.  The only thing we have is our bodies, our labor and our cash, your vote is not even top three at this point because our system is so corrupt.  If you don't understand that, the game that keeps your mind busy even when your not and pays your bills is never going to change. The only thing incrementalists have been offering for 40 years is just to maybe slightly slow down fascism, while not telling you that the ruling class will push you back 5 steps if you dare to take 1 forward.  I'm telling you, these dumb motherfuckers saw The Terminator, Robocop, Blade Runner, Dirty Hairy as kids and saw life goals instead of a warning, and you are treating them like they're the same old mascot assholes that won't leave.  Those who grew up worshiping Opie and Andy, the original Perry Mason, or even the antifascists on Hogan's Heroes aren't calling the shots anymore. They're strategically being terrified by their heirs and their younger peers so they can milk as much money from them as possible without asking or having to provide a direct reason for it.  They want to do Cyberpunk (OG, not just the video game) in the real world and they're doing everything they can to make it happen.  They are mentally ill, so they don't care that in those same science fiction sources, dystopian societies rarely keep the engineers and financiers safe from the psychopaths who helped create it by acquiring power and wealth through planned chaos.

A public neutering can get you into positions of power, and using that position to talk about things from a different perspective might even help you to change the course of an ongoing public debate, but none of it means anything if it's all for show to save face, and only for political purposes.  It has to be because these issues, these human lives mean something to you and you need to remind others why those lives matter to them, too.  If you don't mean it, ultimately, that is what the public sees, someone who only has their back when it's politically expedient.  That's all we've ever had, don't think of it as some brand new thing when it's a supposed progressive doing it.  Many of them want a pat on the back for saying things that "MODERATES" were saying 15-20 years ago.  Stop being so fucking predictable.  It's why it takes very little organization or brains to beat you. 

 

I have to stop editing this shit, it never gets posted because I just keep adding shit to it.

FEMA’s New Mission: Domestic Terrorism by Ken Klippenstein

The disaster response agency forgets the weather, embraces pre-crime

Read on Substack

There is going to be so much to abolish and rebuild after the fascists scurry off into their rat nests. I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone, including people who consider themselves "centrists", but especially those on the left, would want the same group of controlled opposition democrats who are just as responsible for all of this as the far right is, to be the ones in power to hold anyone accountable and deal with the global and domestic disasters that we've been a part of creating or caused for the past 25 years honestly.  When you realize how the far right and center-right are vastly outnumbered it makes sense why they believe the media must be controlled, those who do not fear them must be taught a lesson, and those who refuse to play the game must be eliminated or delegitimized in some fashion.  The thing is it isn't just the far right who support the fascism, just as in 1930s Germany, they can't do it without "The Centrists".  And just like in the 1930s, no fascist entity gets anywhere without the backing of generational- wealth greed and power addicts.  Any sense of allowing the people to decide, no matter how flimsy it was to begin with, is gone.  The good thing is that ego is the enemy of intelligence, logic, and reason, so these people are some of the dumbest on the planet.  However, since they can do so much harm so quickly with the money/power they've stolen, that is also a very bad thing. As we've seen over the past several years, they'll continue to think they live in the Terminator, or Blade Runner, or whatever dystopian fictional future they see themselves as the overlord of in their excessive greed psychosis, while the rest of us strategize in reality with one another, even those we disagree with on a great many things.  That's the one thing we have going for us.  These people are some of the dumbest people to ever walk the earth, even compared to the earliest bipedal hominids.  They will continue to do the most obviously stupid and heinous shit out in the open, thinking it won't catch up to them.  We just have to make sure that it does.

 Good summary of things happening in India from Democracy Now!.

 

I watch Arun to find out what's happening in more detail (the India Education Minister just resigned), but I have to admit at times, the larger consequences go completely over my head because I think I'm missing decades of context and minutia regarding the history of the political parties. The people I work for are from Kerala, the most left-leaning part of the country. They've only ever talked about Indian politics in a general way.  They're more worried about this country coming for them, their children, and their grandchild for being brown than what's happening over there.  It's always good to learn more from different perspectives, because this is all tied to the same global struggle.  Especially if they start bringing that shit over here to harass Indians and Indian-Americans (or anyone from South Asia because you know the dumb fascists in this country don't know or care about the differences in the TWO BILLION people from the region, which is 6X the population of the US, btw).

I love that Democracy Now! is considered mainstream "leftist" journalism.  It is just the "the news", there is no other trustworthy, reliable and easily accessible major daily media outlet in the US.  I am old enough to remember when no one knew what it was or wanted to give it any respect if they did.  By just existing and doing what it's been doing for three decades, it makes the corporate and legacy media look like the National Enquirer and TMZ. There are plenty of opinion and analysis outlets, some of which I love.  But DN! is just straight up journalism.  I hope more people/outlets try a more structured live schedule. I think Drop Site is trying to start doing that. It's the only way we get the older gen Xers and the leftist Boomers, they need routine.  It's part of the reason why there are so many boomer libs in the Majority Report community. It's why the right was killing the left with internet-based media up until recently (and the, ya know, obvious bots/paid trolls). You have to wonder, where the fuck are the wealthy leftist investors in media?  You know there must a couple out there.  I don't mean a lib lying to themselves and everyone else, I mean a leftist that was born into money or something.  Why do we not have a real news round-the-clock-network out there that has integrity and doesn't give a shit about appeasing the neo-libs, only telling the ugly truth?  We don't need cable anymore.  What is the fucking hold up?

Edit 8/7 - seems apparently it was in response to my Kitboga post? I guess the "AI" scrapers didn't like my use of "clankers" or just posting their meltdowns.  Its just a j guys, just jokin' around, okay?  I am meatbag friend, I swear.

Welp.  The bots/crawlers are back, from what I gather it's because of what's going on in India?  Guys, I may know more about India's political turmoil than the average American, but that ain't saying much.  I just work for an Indian-American MD who's been here for more than 40 years, I don't know enough to comment on anything. Modi is a cunt, they have their own version of insane ethnofascist nazis, their own versions of ineffectual controlled opposition neo-libs, and everyone is tired of Modi's shit, the blatant fascism and corruption which literally includes badly stolen elections.  That's about it, pretty universal at this point, yeah?  So you guys can leave my blog alone, I ain't posting on shit that I don't have much knowledge about. 

Every time this happens they always scrape all of the almost 20 year old shit and barely touch the newer stuff.  I am happy to say that I am finally saving all my content (saved!), including the unpublished posts, which was what was really holding me back (like 1/4 of the 2300 posts are not published).  It has stuff that I know should have never been saved here, but I did for various reasons and was afraid of losing it.  Now I just have to finally settle on a title and buy the domain and I can be done with this piece of shit site.  Woooaaaooww, I'm excited! I've been working on all kinds of shit for it, although it will likely be pretty minimalist in style.  I can finally get rid of or at least hide all of the cringe posts that come up when these scrapes happen, especially the ones that I don't recognize at all and crap that makes no sense because the context, video, or article is missing.  It's actually crazy how much old stuff has been scrubbed from other mainstream "news" sites so links, videos, and images are dead.  Listen, I am not the 30 year old that started this thing, and I am annoyed at how sappy I got about the stupidest shit, and how much I was not doing well with loneliness, long before I was single. Look, we had a job to do with Obama, and hope was high, but belief that he was going to be anything other than what he was was surfaced and whether I wanted to admit it publicly or not, we all knew it. The bright side is now I am a pro at being sad and lonely!  I time the sobbing so my face/eyes have time to lose most of the puffiness before my kid comes home from work. I think she thinks I'm old and I just look like this now.  That is fine, I don't care anymore.  I mean, she'd technically be right. I should say, to be clear, I am still extremely sappy at times, which is part of the problem, just more discerning of what/who deserves it, especially publicly.

If you know people who changed or lost ground in their despair after the pandemic, and then again after 10/7, it's for the same reason.  Watching the entire world decide they don't give a shit about one another, and then demanding we can't either.  Saying we're the bad guy if we don't cheer on the deliberate mutilation and vaporization of children, torturing and sexual assault of teens, blowing apart apartment buildings, hospitals, TENTS of whole families, is my worst nightmare because it means we are completely lost, there is no stability, morality or social norms at all. The realization that all of the warnings of parallels with 1930s Germany, that we were not hyperbolic, even if you wanted it to be, was, is overwhelming at times.  I'll just say agoraphobia just easily washes over you during an American pandemic, even if you actively fight it. It's taken years to come back from that, even if I logically know I have no choice at this time. 

I want to incorporate the theme behind this thing into something new and better and get away from the 25 year old geocities type layout/format. I will probably do it a little at a time and the old stuff will take time, the new stuff will be priority.  I get that no one probably cares or that human eyes will probably never see any of this, but when I write it here I tend to keep myself more accountable to it.  

 I'll post before I take this thing down, but you're perfectly welcome to email me anytime if you're interested in what/where it'll be or have any suggestions. ----------------------------------------------->>>>>>

Kitboga Teaches How to Deal with Clanker Calls

I don't post enough funny shit anymore. Mostly 'cause this world doesn't rise up to the challenge it's facing.  This killed me.

 Kit is a cultural icon.

Always cracks me up when people say they're thinking of moving to WY or MT.  Quietly, I think, you must be white.  Regardless, good luck with that. 

**Trigger Warning - public animal abuse ** [I ALWAYS root for the bull/calf/horse to make it your last show, I don't care who the fuck you are, you sadistic weirdo.]

 WY is a microcosm, in many different ways, for what's been happening all over the country for decades now. WY has been heading this way for more than 20 years, it's just in it's final phase.  Same shit that's been happening in the Bay Area for the past 30 years, NYC for the past 40, LA since its inception, or at least since the 70s. This is a product of the scam economy=peak capitalism-=late stage capitalism, it's doing what it's designed to do.  When Bush I said "it's a A New World Order" after 10 years of Reagan/Atwaterism and the completion of the Evangelical/Capitalism/private-wealthy-hedonism-worship take over of the right, this is what he meant. And the former CIA director is supposedly considered a moderate compared to today's outwardly fascist, anti-democracy, anti-indigenous/human rights, worker/immigrant hating, pro slavery/Jim Crown/segregationist, pre-suffrage-loving right. Not saying he was, just that's what the controlled media need you to think is an acceptable point of view. This guy. 

Once they can buy anything they want, they want everything.  

General Strike. Now.

If you have something to say, say it now before it's too late.
