Caitlin Johnstone says what we're all thinking (as per usual).  The question we should all be asking as the world as we know it continues to fall apart, who do you think can make it sustainable again? What does the road to getting there look like?  Are you more likely to trust people who are community minded, who want to provide basic needs and access to life sustaining things such as air, water, food and land to as many people as possible, looking toward bringing humans and other beings back from an unstable and insecure future? Or those who intentionally killed it just so they could get more wealthy than they already were and assume they're safe from prosecution because of the weapons and meatbags they've surrounded themselves with.  I don't just mean the billionaires, I mean the people who checked their stock portfolio every day and decided they were just fine, so fuck everyone else. Those who don't care who needlessly dies or suffers under those DOW/NASDAQ companies so you can sleep in a warm home on a cold winter night, as they sleep in a tent and hope to wake up in the morning.  There's a lot that needs to happen in a relatively short amount of time and your religion, your government, your community is not going to help you unless it understands that to help your neighbors is to help yourself.  To fuck your neighbors is to doom yourself, no matter what zip code you're in. We're all breathing the same air, we're all drinking the same water, we're all sleeping (or trying to) on the same ground, we all rely on a stable environment and ecosystem in order to not face extinction.  When you hear Democratic "leadership" speak, about ANYTHING AT ALL, do you think they're considering those things, or do you think they're mostly just worried about new covers for their cozy fireside bed in the wintertime?  Think about that for a second, who the fuck, among any of them, do you want in all of Congress or our "future" chosen democratic professional politicians that they're trying to ram down our throats by force, to be tasked with the future we face? Can you think of more than 10, even with the new DSA faces?  That ain't going to cut it, and neither will "working with" the cunts that helped get us here.  

The system is designed to slow down progress, but don't tell that to the fascists who LOVE THE LAWR, but also REALLY LOVE TO BREAK THE LAWR. This includes democrats. They want the system that is supposed to reflect the people slowed down for us, sped up drastically for the for wealthy and their companies that represent almost no one, statistically.  It's the people who decide what a slog it is.  Do you want to always say what you think grandma wants to hear or do you want to get shit done?  I want people saying they're looking into every crack in every rat hole to find people to prosecute, from the Supreme Court, to the administration, to members of Congress and their staff, to the FBI, small town KKK sheriffs, pedo pastors and priests, ya know, the people who think they're above the law because cunts like Schumer and Jefferies line their pockets and look the other way so they don't have to offend grandma, or the Baileys. Or Miriam Adelson. Or Peter Thiel. Wet noodles, cowards and sycophants, con artists can't function without them.

The other thing I think we cannot talk about enough is how easily swallowed the Project 2025 shit was, by the political class and their intellectually lazy followers, but also how hard it seems to be for people to think a step further and accept that there are tens of thousands of really stupid, vapid, and greedy consultants that have helped the oligarchy, companies and individuals that have orchestrated directly or indirectly most everything you're seeing and feeling. It's not 10-50 individuals in their meetings, it's thousands of people strategizing to get more money and power and how to retain what they have.  They aren't discussing 2026-2027, that's long since passed.  They're so arrogant they're talking 2030 and beyond.  Most of their plans, wants, needs are not put out in little media packages to be exhaustively talked about for days or weeks on end, unless they were put their on purpose.  

You instinctively know that in a country with 3.5 million people or a planet with 8 billion people there is a lot more going on than the 10-15 stories that are handed to you in a 24/48 hour news cycle.  If you care about what's going on in the world outside of your block, you can seek it out.  If you're still in the very narrow cable news/legacy media bubble, it's because you choose to be there. The independent media outlets are more trusted than any legacy media at this point, this ain't the days of Air America created to stay precious on purpose. If you think that the preparation and planning for outward fascism is a new thing and is only orchestrated by white Christian nationalists, white/enthno supremacists or the current nouveau riche class, I don't know what to tell you.  These twats have enough money to plan for every variable and have been able to for about 2 decades now. But don't say it out loud or you'll get slapped with the conspiracy theorist label.  Thanks, late X-files and 1990's Alex Jones. If you weren't an op then (and I'm not saying you weren't), you certainly are now, intentionally or not.  

You're going to have to get comfortable with calling a fascist a fascist and that doesn't make you anything other than anti-fascist, just like the millions of people who fought and died to keep it from taking over the planet since the 1930s and 40s, which constitutes the massive majority of this country ever since then.  We are proudly, blatantly an anti-fascist country, the only people who will tell you otherwise are Nazis and fascists.  When people defend fascism, for any fucking reason, call them what they are: fascists, no matter how much they want to convince you they're not or that it's no big deal.  When people or entities are trying to protect the white supremacy that didn't die with the Nuremberg trials, just as it didn't during Reconstruction or civil rights, call them what they are - nazis/Nazis, the New/Neo Confederacy, KKK-lovers, whiny white nationalists, hate-filled, uneducated, deliberately stupid, pro-slavery, pro-apartheid, anti-democracy, anti-liberty, corrupt, inbred rice paper skins or insert your own legacy racist project.  

Project 2025 was about quietly getting people/churches/organizations out to vote for a candidate they don't really like, to remind them, that burnt sienna face is the one that they want you to associate with taking down abortion rights. The rapture, banishing the Jews from Zion after they genocide the Palestinians or any other non-Christians, or the right kind of Christian.  There are more Trump voters who keenly see him as a vehicle, and otherwise cannot stand him than the media and pundits want you to think. Many are the same people who think they're good Christians and chosen people to oppress and stomp on other humans, even other Christians, to make themselves seem relevant in some twisted form of righteousness.  We, the anti-racists, anti-fascists, anti-nazis, anti-classists, pro human rights citizens are a massive majority in this country, yet we keep allowing a very small group of people terrify and brainwash a slightly larger group of people into doing their bidding for them, even when those policies eventually wipe them out, too, every fucking time. We have to stop accepting their parameters, we have to believe that not all of those people love pedos and worship sadists and psychopaths, most of them don't think anyone who isn't just like them is subhuman vermin.  We'd likely be in a different world if the white nationalists/zionists and technofascists hadn't socially engineered the isolation and despair among very specific groups of people by amplifying and normalizing their insecurity and lack of morality, using bots, paid trolls, and paid shills who should have to #ad every time they go live.  There is a very obvious effort to astroturf the planet with their "fascism is the only answer, so we'll just call it something else, by bastardizing Judaism to rebrand it as an ethnofascist ideology in order to use it as a shield for white supremacy" underlying branding.  We have to accept that many of the people who buy this shit are lazy thinkers and act accordingly, because they've very deliberately been told since birth a lazy thinker is a good American patriot, a pious religious person, who should never trust their lying eyes, and the authority you should listen to is who THEY tell you to listen to.  If we can't speak or understand their language, they will never know how very not free they really are.  As it has been for a few millenia.

Adding, tech fascists and their supporters are people who think they are the smartest people in the universe, but are actually some of the dumbest people to ever walk the earth because they're so up their own and each others asses they can't see, or don't want to see the basic incredibly obvious flaws in their own logic or understanding of the entire planet and its inhabitants. Extremely simple thinkers and coddled toddler brains that wrap their childish ideas and backwards beliefs in fashion, artificial pop culture and narcissistic/nihilistic philosophy using unlimited stolen money and resources. There's never been any substance because they're misanthropes who hate mankind and themselves. Kind of like the Nazis. They defeat themselves with their own ideas.  I hope I live long enough to see them all prosecuted.

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 and unable to deny that when he has on those form fitting suits and thick mustache, they can't keep from quietly saying 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 you're continuously poked in every limb, organ, orifice still 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 so you can pay 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, that many of them are a part of, 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 warnings, 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 be milked for as much money 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 they treat as sacred texts, dystopian societies rarely keep the engineers and financiers safe from the psychopaths who helped facilitate it by acquiring power and wealth through planned chaos and brute force.

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
