The global extinction race is on. Maybe we can even try for a 2nd Venus after all, too.

"billion per day on a war in the Middle East that no one wants, while millions of people at home struggle" that's socialism for military contractors ;)
Oh, maybe they could have gone for the good old school "yellow dog running capitalist roader", too ;). But my feelings on this are the same as Henny Youngman, take my president, please!
Healthcare workers have a duty to patients yet PE ran hospitals have a duty to profitability and when these collide it is often people that die,
The sooner the rest of the world manages to ween itself off oil, the better off it will be.

To understand Zionism, imagine if someone here went to Europe to teach the Wiccan Lokal. Two thousand years later European pretendians come to the US to fight to liberate "He Sapa" (the black hills) as "their sacred homeland" and kill local Lakota decedents living there.
Well, child abduction if one is looking for more formal legal language for criminal prosecution.
Perhaps an AI generated bolo trained on WW2 data ;)
I have no income to withhold in Trump's racist ablest fascist America.
I also emphasize the 3 L's in childhood education (look, listen, learn). We should not require a college degree to understand basic reality, and emphasize basic reasoning so people can avoid the traps of faith based thinking on their own. Nobody needs to be an Einstein to be an atheist.
Truth speaking from power??? ;)
No Vogons involved?
Now we know why Putin approved and let Trump have his oil wars...What's in it for Russia.
For those wondering what was in it for Putin to approve Trump's Iran war...
I choose to understand the world by how it actually is, rather than to define it by some fantasy of how I might wish it to be, This is also why I find affinity with the term rational anarchy.

I guess the only person mentioned more is Epstein himself ;)
But I doubt Trump is on any client list; after all, he was likely a business partner.

I do recall the Christianity of MLK and Jessie Jackson. The poor people's ca,[aogm was perhaps clearest. speaking to people in the language of their faith about values that matter. That kind of religion I could possibly peacefully co-exist with.
I am pro-Palestinian in that I believe they simply deserve equal rights and dignity. But two states? One state? Being an anarchist, naturally I favor a "zero state" solution ;)
This is true of organized religions in general.
Trump is desperate to find some way to declare victory and walk away. Only problem is Iran refuses to stop fighting ;).
Have you seen food prices lately?? ;)
Many have a belief system that genuinely accepts the idea of Trump being anointed to cause the end times. They see the cruelty and criminality as necessary parts of "gods plan" to bring about the end times, and openly embrace that vision, too.
Given these very divergent world views and goals, at first blush the very idea of an alliance between Jewish and Christian Zionists might seem absurd. But each alps believes the other to be useful idiots.
Dispensationalism, rapture theology, etc, all do have rather recent origins, but they all derive from Calvinist roots. Most Christian Nationalists are dispensationalist evangelicals, and hence also Christian Zionists. They are like Mike Huckabee. They're pro-Israel goal is to fatten the sacrifice.
Not all evangelicals are dispensationalists & need a restored Israel as a sacrificial lamb to bring Jesus. Many see modern Jews as damned and the old Jewish covenant is with a pre-chosen "elect". Nore historically they called themselves the "new" Israelite. Most just see Trump as a means to power.
Many see him as a means to power. Dispensationalist evangelicals really do believe he is anointed by god to bring about "the end times" and desire to see the violence and chaos he brings happen, too. It's not that they ignore his criminality, they believe it's necessary to fulfill prophecy.
