Donald Trump held a press event at Mar-a-Lago today where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced he would be awarded the Israel Prize, marking the first time in history it’s been given to a non-Israeli. Trump used the moment to call himself a “wartime president,” despite never having served or led through war. Hours later, details emerged that the first U.S. drone strike inside Venezuela had been carried out with no congressional oversight. Trump also threatened to “knock the hell out of Iran” if they restart nuclear efforts. Meanwhile, in Ukraine, officials released evidence that hundreds of surrendering POWs have been executed by Russian forces. Wiretaps, drone footage, and testimonies confirm the atrocities. And as international law is shredded, Trump continues to idolize the very regimes responsible.
Yes. They are war criminals. Yet there they were, fêted by the global legacy media. Their smiling faces and close friendship broadcast across the world. Imagine how this mass mediated image affected survivors of decimated families in Palestine or the Ukraine or Venezuela ? The fear and despair engendered in innocent peoples of these oligarch criminals in charge of the US and Israel and Russia, by their owned legacy media, is entirely intentional. They commit global stochastic terrorism with the knowing complicity of legacy media, daily. Until such time as we, as the presently apex predator animal species, wean ourselves off of our addiction to fossil fuel and its corollary unsustainable structural greed for constant economic growth, rather than economic equality, all life on earth is in these mobster’s unregulated capitalist’s increasingly violent scramble for diminishing oil reserves and resources, crosshairs. Iran possesses oil. Ukraine possesses minerals. Nigeria possesses oil. Venezuela possesses oil. Greenland possesses minerals. And so on…The millions who support Trump/Putin and Netanyahu include all of our high financiers, global hedgefunds and bond traders and everyone who benefits from their voodoo economics. Which is now all of us to a greater or lesser extent. Innocent’s blood is on all our hands.
I just became a paying subscriber. Me and 68 other people read your most recent post, put up just six hours ago, in the dark, probably in bed, and this tiny sense of community is definitely worth $5/month.
This is one of the best written pieces on our current state of affairs. Everyone needs to restack and reprint this everywhere and anywhere we can. Thank you Heather. PROTECT THE MIDTERMS and ##HOLDFAST.
I am an American Jew and I have had it with Netanyahu and Israel. I grew up in a time when Israeli safety was not a given. Now they are the bullies of the Middle East, disrespecting the Jewish values I was taught. It makes me sick and disgusted. Giving this prize to Trump? I'm beyond done. It is grotesque.
