As the Trump administration prepares to confront China's growing influence, it is critical to base strategies on accurate assessments of domestic capabilities. Misleading narratives, such as those propagated by conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, risk undermining government efficiency by spreading falsehoods about federal telework practices.
President Biden has never wavered from approving huge arms shipments to Israel during more than 13 months of mass murder and deliberate starvation of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. Biden’s crucial role earned him the name “Genocide Joe.”
That nickname might seem shrill, but it’s valid. Although Biden will not be brought to justice for serving as a key accomplice to the horrific crimes against humanity that continue in Gaza, the label sticks -- and candid historians will condemn him as a direct enabler of genocide.
Biden could also qualify for another nickname, which according to Google was never published before this article: “Omnicide Joe.”
The American Empire, supported by of it's mainstream media propaganda mouthpiece, appears to be supporting both Biden's escalation in Russia and his continuing support for genocide. The American people, still in shock from the recent election of a narcissistic, racist, misogynist, rapist traitor to be the next President, apparently have no ability to change the course of the Empire's wars. To a large extent, mainstream media continues to be relevant, although many Americans are learning how to dig deeper into current events. Is it possible that President Bully Boy Dump could end the madness of the American Empire’s wars? He claims to want to end the wars while he appoints neocons to his cabinet. But maybe?
My view of the conflict in Russia and the genocide in Gaza is different from that of most Americans. It is informed by several great reporters and observers who are mentioned below. It is not informed by the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, or any of the mouthpieces of Empire.
The Empire provokes the war in Ukraine.
Antisemitism is wrong—there’s no debate about that. By the same token, Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian racism are equally dangerous. Conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism is not only misguided but also harmful. Ohio state Senator Terry Johnson’s proposed legislation does just that, threatening to undermine fundamental constitutional rights, stifle political expression, and open the door to discriminatory enforcement.
The recent vilification of student-led protests on college campuses, chief among them what happened on our own, The Ohio State University, was so dangerous that made many of us shiver.
“In my view it is a near certainty the results have been changed at a scale which reversed the US presidential election,” asserts preeminent computer hacking expert Stephen Spoonamore, in a "Duty To Warn" letter addressed to Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday. “I am stating a hand count will most likely show you did win.”
A week after a red tsunami crashed over America, the Republic feels like it's drowning amid the chaos of President-elect Donald Trump’s catastrophic cabinet picks, Democrats flogging themselves for failing the people, and pundits still positing theories of just what went wrong with Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential run.
But we may be missing the big picture, the one staring us right in the face. The most scandalous, constitution-rattling news quietly breaking in the undercurrent of all the name-and-blames, and what-a-shame noise. The answers to last week’s earth-shaking election results may be the most sensible and obvious:
Donald J. Trump cheated.
On November 15th, Stephen Spoonamore sent a letter to Kamala Harris, alleging that the November Presidential election was stolen. Spoonamore's allegation gained enough traction that Snopes felt the need to refute the allegation, in an article Snopes titled “Claims in 'Duty to Warn' Letter to Harris Alleging Compromised Election Are Misleading”. His most recent letter to the Harris campaign is here, on Substack.
His letter begins as follows:
This is my second Duty to Warn Letter regarding hacking of the 2024 Presidential Election. The first letter on November 7 was directed to Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Officials. Both warnings are made per DNI Clapper’s 2015 directive to all agencies and contractors associated with intelligence and financial agency technologies to warn of suspicions of hacking.
Unfortunately, a machine has not yet been developed that can take one back in time and undo terrible mistakes being made due to lack of appreciation of possible downstream consequences of certain actions. If Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary had been somewhere else other than in Sarajevo back in June 1914 Serbian Gavrilo Princip might never have been able to assassinate him and the European system of military alliances might never have been triggered to start World War I. Going through the subsequent history of wars since the Great War, there are certainly any number of historical mistakes or omissions that might have been rectified to stop those wars from starting in the first place.
