    What I was to merely say is you are not working for some woke-lunatic who is an obstacle to your fulfilled life or, God forbid, a commie – Capitalist is writing your check.

    Are you insane? A person works a job for 20 years, loses seniority, time off, benefits, takes a pay cut and almost no time off after the financial hit of being out of work for a year and a half, the trauma of the persecution, irrationality, etc surrounding it. wtf, man. Now I’m employed so I cannot speak to injustice and harm done to me?

    you JUST got done gaslighting me “there is nothing happening” and I responded to you with – oh yes there is. So then you immediately forget and tell me I am alright now so nevermind.

    “….actually from there saying how evil Communism is….”
    I thought that was pretty much established.
    That should concern you no more than being freaked out by the lifestyle of some Amazon tribe. Do you feel like “liberating” North Korea?

    Gaslighting just like that.

    MILLIONS of americans are censored based on frankfurt school based marxism current year. People are losing their jobs and homes. I had MULTIPLE required trainings with a guy who says the solution to american problems is a council with authority above government and business neither elected nor appointed by elected officials — soviet is the russian word for council. He wants a soviet government and his book ended up as the textbook for EVERY corporate HR dept in the US.

    I’m unaware of frankfurt school marxists in north korea or the amazon but millions of americans are quite aware it’s here and now, affecting their lives. It certainly affected mine.

    But ignore my own eyes. You always jump in to argue if you see anyone being anti-communist. So apparently you’re anti-anti-communist. Go ahead and say what you’re arguing for then.

    Remember, stocks wanted to sell off in 2018, munchkin got on his red phone and saved the markets that december. 2019, the fed starts lowering rates, buys them a year, then REPO markets begin to explode in August/September. Then covid. Why does a “pandemic” require a few trillion in fed balance sheet increases?

    Why did the REPO markets begin to explode? Why didn’t the banks trust each other? Why did JP Morgan wan 10% for overnight loans? Nobody has ever really done a good job explaining that (Wallstreetonparade did the best in my opinion) why?

    Chris Hedges: Letter to the Children of Gaza (excerpt)
    ​ I have been bombed by jets in Gaza. I have been bombed in other wars, wars that happened before you were born. I too was very, very scared. I still have dreams about it. When I see the pictures of Gaza these wars return to me with the force of thunder and lightning. I think of you.

    ​ Ceasefire in Gaza Depends on US as Washington ‘Fully Controls’ Conflict – Hamas
    ​ “The ceasefire depends on the US. The US is the main supporter of Israel: American drones are in the skies over Gaza, military ships are off the Palestinian coast. They supply both arms and money. They also provide political cover for the process. All the states in the region are under pressure to save Israel. That is why the ceasefire depends on the US. If the US administration wanted the ceasefire, it would have been reached by now,” Marzouq said in an interview with ​the Turkish newspaper.

    ​ Surplus Energy Economics: A PLAIN TALE OF THE SHRINKING ECONOMY
    ​ If I may encapsulate: All economy uses energy, whether sun, food, coal or oil, to create value. Economy has been ramping up for 300 years on fossil-fuels like coal, oil and natural gas, which enabled the acquisition of more of these fuels and mineral resources, then industrial agriculture, and increases in efficiency, including efficiency of finding and pumping oil.
    The cost embedded in a barrel of oil hit bottom around 1970, and has generally risen since then, though expenses came in waves and spurts. The easy-oil is declining, and the coal is dirtier and more expensive, too.
    Solar and wind work, but do not provide reliable and dense energy, especially needed for transportation. They are so spread out as to require a lot more copper and steel in distribution networks, which are also energy-intensive to build and maintain, after mining and refining those ores.
    The decisions of the last 30 years, to run up debts, for instance, while return of GDP increase to investment is now down to 1:7, make sense primarily if one realizes that the current system is running out the clock, with no actual political-intention to make-good on promises once crisis takes hold…
    ..This explanation divides into two possible motivations.
    First, decision-makers have noted material economic deceleration without understanding its cause. If this has been so – and if they still believe in the orthodox tarradiddle that the material economy can be re-energised towards infinite growth using financial tools – then these might have been successively more extreme and desperate exercises in the impossible.
    ​ Conversely, they may be well aware that the economy has been decelerating towards contraction, for the reasons set out in this article. If that’s the case, then decision-makers have been buying time, in the hope that ‘something will turn up’.
    ​ In either case, we need to start looking at the economy in new ways, placing economics and finance in their material and environmental context
    The idea that the authorities don’t know what’s really happening is every bit as disturbing as the notion that they understand this perfectly well, and are simply playing for time.

    Earlier reports of the appearance of Western weapons smuggled from Ukraine in the hands of Hamas are confirmed.

    According to the Algerian resource MenaDefense, citing unnamed Middle Eastern sources, during Operation Iron Swords in the Gaza Strip, Israeli troops discovered a number of Western weapons systems (in particular, NLAW and AT-4 grenade launchers), which were most likely received through the Ukrainian channel.

    It is noted that in 2022, Hamas and Hezbollah created a secret channel for the supply of weapons from Ukraine to Lebanon, Iraq and, possibly, Syria, through which they were shipped from Ukrainian warehouses in the Lviv, Odesa, Mykolaiv, Khmelnytskyi and Chernihiv regions. In the same year, this channel began its work. As a result, last year alone, Hamas received an undisclosed number of MG3 machine guns, B72 grenade launchers, at least 50 FGM0148A Javelin ATGMs, several dozen MILAN ATGMs, 20 FIM-92 Stinger MANPADS, 20 L118 105mm howitzers, 30 Switchblade UAVs, about 100 Phoenix Ghost loitering munitions, and about 50 Black Hornet Nano UAVs.

    According to local resources, Deputy Defense Ministers of Ukraine Yuriy Dzhigir and Dmytro Klimenkov are responsible for these illegal schemes for the supply of NATO weapons. For the deliveries themselves, the structures of the former head of the Odesa region, Maksym Marchenko, as well as companies affiliated with the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov, are used. Curiously, these deliveries could have been authorized by NATO liaison officers seconded to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

    Various schemes were used for payment through terminals in the DarkNet.

    All this indicates that, on the one hand, the Ukrainian channel is controlled by the Americans, and on the other hand, the White House uses Ukraine as a source for the implementation of its foreign policy tasks.

    The supply of weapons from Ukraine to Hamas and Hezblollah indicates Washington’s involvement in the escalation of the conflict between Palestine, Iran and Israel to create a new point of instability.

    In view of the above, it is most likely that the leaks about the weapons supplied from Ukraine were organized by the Israeli special services.

    Another proof of the re-export of Western weapons from Ukraine to the Middle East has emerged: Israeli resources demonstrate captured AT-4 and NLAW grenade launchers seized in the Gaza Strip. The question of how they got from Ukraine to the Palestinians is now being studied
