Over the previous 4 months I’ve carried out my every day morning scan of the main on-line information web sites more and more involved over what I might be seeing given the mainstream media’s reluctance to report actually and the persistent administration by authorities propaganda mills of what’s leaked to the journalists. Information concerning what’s going down with Russia-Ukraine suffered initially because the battle turned sharply in Moscow’s favor late final 12 months, a lot in order that the probably consequence is barely being challenged on neocon dominated websites like American Enterprise Institute, Basis for Protection of Democracies and the Nationwide Evaluate. President Joe Biden and staff are actually solely struggling to boost $61 billion for Volodymyr Zelensky to lengthen the battle by the US election later this 12 months so Biden can look like a robust “wartime” president preventing laborious to defend the US from the threatening Pink Hordes. That the cash will basically drop down the opening of Ukrainian corruption appears to hassle nobody within the White Home, however the sport goes on with Biden saying “This bipartisan invoice sends a transparent message to Ukrainians and to our companions and to our allies around the globe: America might be trusted, America might be relied upon, and America stands up for freedom. We stand sturdy for our allies. We by no means bow all the way down to anybody, and positively to not Vladimir Putin. So, let’s get on with this….Are [we] going to facet with terror and tyranny? Are [we] going to face with Ukraine, or are [we] going to face with Putin? Will we stand with America or – or with Trump?” The president can be presently pumping the road that he’s one way or the other saving or defending “democracy.” The truth that Ukraine, banning political events and even spiritual teams and the Russian language, is not any democracy doesn’t appear to influence on the narrative. And don’t neglect how the Zelensky authorities lately murdered American journalist Gonzalo Lira for his exercising freedom of the press!
Biden argues that standing by America’s “allies,” even when they aren’t precise allies, is crucial to keep up confidence in the US and its management mission to create a “guidelines based mostly worldwide order” and thereby save the world. Past Ukraine, there may be, in fact, America’s “greatest pal” and “biggest ally” Israel which additionally is not any democracy as Palestinian residents have restricted rights, with these residing on the Israeli military occupied West Financial institution having successfully no safety from being arrested arbitrarily and even shot on sight by rampaging troopers and settlers, who worry no penalties for killing and robbing Arabs as a result of there aren’t any penalties. The bombing of Gaza into the stone age continues with hardly any protection within the mainstream media as whether it is an atrocity that can disappear from the collective conscience if nobody refers to it regardless of the rows of useless girls and youngsters. The US and European media in the meantime blithely report each new “Hamas atrocity” promoted by the habitually mendacity Israeli Military (IDF) as if it had been the reality whereas Biden is pulling out the stops to supply the money ($14 billion) and weapons to allow the IDF to kill extra Palestinians whereas on the identical time mock-mourning the slaughter of the innocents that’s going down. The ghastly loss of life toll is a direct results of Joe’s lack of any motion to power the Israelis to vary course, which he has the leverage to do with a telephone name to Benjamin Netanyahu threatening to chop off the money, arms and political help. However the administration has made plain that it has no intention to do something like that.
However even given all of that pleasure final week there may be one story that stands out, the video of former Secretary of State and CIA Director Mike Pompeo in Israel grinning and dancing with celebrating Israeli troopers, who presumably have simply returned from Gaza after having had the pleasure of blasting just a few extra rating of civilians, together with a big proportion of youngsters. The Israeli Military’s newest stunt is to place snipers and tanks across the final functioning main medical facility in Rafah district within the south of Gaza, the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis. The Palestinians attempting to outlive in Gaza had been beforehand ordered by Israel to go to Rafah the place they’d be “secure” nevertheless it was a self-serving lie and the navy then proceeded to bomb and shoot civilians, even once they had been attempting to give up, and likewise destroying infrastructure like hospitals and colleges to make the realm uninhabitable. The military in Gaza’s snipers have now joined within the enjoyable by capturing medical doctors and sufferers contained in the constructing and on the grounds to power Nasser Hospital to evacuate and shut down. They adopted up on the capturing gallery by storming the hospital, allegedly searching for “hostages.” It’s all half of what’s creating as Netanyahu has introduced that the bottom invasion of Rafah will quickly start although the encaged Palestinians, who’re already ravenous as a result of Israeli blockade of humanitarian assist, have nowhere to go and plenty of extra 1000’s will die a technique or one other.
As a style of what’s to come back that’s much more weird than what has already transpired, Israel’s “most ethical military on the earth” has now additionally gone into the leisure enterprise. It has begun to ask teams of Israeli civilians into detention facilities and prisons which have been holding West Financial institution Palestinian prisoners in addition to detainees from the Gaza Strip. The civilians are capable of observe the detainees, stripped to their underwear, and snicker and jeer as the lads are being overwhelmed, humiliated and tortured, with most of the viewers additionally allowed to movie what is occurring on their very own cell telephones to share with their pals and households. Mike Pompeo, who’s a Christian Zionist of dispensationalist persuasion, believes that the previous Palestine belongs to the Israelis as a result of it says so within the Bible, which he has rigorously “studied.” He additionally, whereas Trump’s Secretary of State, declared that the US now not regards the unlawful Israeli settlements on the West Financial institution as “unlawful” and he equally permitted of the Israeli annexation of the Syrian Golan Heights as completely acceptable beneath worldwide regulation, which it isn’t. Surprise what Mike as a self-identified pious Christian thinks about all these useless and mutilated Palestinian infants if he ever chooses to consider it in any respect?
Additionally within the working for god-awful narrative of the week was a chunk claiming that the profitable first step by the use of a majority vote within the Home of Representatives to convey concerning the genuinely-earned impeachment of Division of Homeland Safety’s ghastly Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Thursday was the results of an “antisemitic conspiracy concept” as a result of he’s a “Sephardic Jew,” not attributable to his personal incompetence which he has been demonstrating recurrently for the previous three years. The deep gap of melancholy that I crawled into as I watched the fats twerp Pompeo cavorting whereas the midget Mayorkas touted his Jewish credentials drove me to rethink the entire situation of US international and nationwide safety coverage. I got here to the conclusion that the gamers are caricatures and it shouldn’t be taken critically and will as an alternative be thought to be a comedy routine, one thing like Monty Python however terribly deadly and with out the intelligence and wit of John Cleese, Eric Idle, Michael Palin and Graham Chapman.
To make sure the Biden administration can at all times be counted upon to supply fun, notably when it brings on the clowns named Anthony Blinken, Victoria Nuland, Karine Jean-Pierre and Jake Sullivan. There was lots of humorous stuff these days, most notably the chatter a couple of resolution to the Palestinian genocide, although Biden appears fairly comfy to let the Israelis end their ethnic cleaning of Gaza earlier than anybody seems to be for a spot keen purchase two million extra stateless and homeless Palestinians. Former presidential aspirant and completely owned Zionist stooge Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida has already declared that no Palestinians needs to be allowed into the US as refugees as they’re “antisemites.”
Nonetheless, Biden and Blinken’s State Division wish to give you some sort of system, if solely as a result of the worldwide blowback as a result of White Home’s unflinching help for Israeli brutality has begun to have penalties because it constitutes complicity in crimes towards humanity. Some sort of restricted sovereignty, disarmed for positive, allowed to Palestine is envisioned however Netanyahu and his political allies, lengthy against a two-state resolution, have lately repeatedly rejected proposals for any Palestinian sovereign entity. Israel is even now utilizing its formidable foyer and worldwide press/narrative management to work assiduously towards any diplomatic recognition of a Palestinian state by particular person international locations or as a full member on the UN. Not surprisingly, the best effort to maintain issues on observe is being directed towards voices raised in help of Palestine in the US. Biden is listening to make certain and is having each Blinken and Nationwide Safety Adviser Jake Sullivan rigorously coordinate each step the administration takes with the Israeli Minister for Strategic Affairs and former ambassador to Washington Ron Dermer. Regardless that Israel and Netanyahu undoubtedly maintain the whip hand, the president is nonetheless inevitably trying over his shoulder and is afraid of alienation of voters with the nationwide election arising if the carnage in Gaza continues. Not for the primary time the countless farce of US inner politics will probably not less than considerably affect what ultimately takes place in international locations six thousand miles away. And given Biden’s propensity to keep away from doing the appropriate factor, one might be fairly positive that the outcome received’t be fairly!
