The idea that the war on Gaza is essentially waged and sustained by and for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has, for long, dominated political analyses on the subject.

 The notion is often kept alive by public opinion inside Israel. 

New York - According to Britain’s esteemed medical journal, The Lancet, 186,000 Palestinian adults and children have so far been killed or died of disease in Gaza. Nearly 600 Palestinians have been killed on the Israeli-occupied West Bank. 10,000 Palestinians languish in Israeli prisons.

The corporate media report on elections — especially the biggie coming up — as though they were sporting events. If you win, hurray! You get the gold cup or whatever. The election process is a matter of shrewd strategy combined with, uh, likability.

Thus, as per the New York Times: “Tim Walz is going to bring big Midwestern dad energy to the presidential campaign.”

After just over two weeks of grueling vetting, Kamala Harris announced her pick for vice president. Tim Walz is her running mate. She rejected the calls of special interests, aka AIPAC and their cronies, the “mainstream” media outlets like CNN, and “intellectual” Democrats, to tap Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania.

For me, and I believe many others, the choice for the top of the ticket has become easy. Kamala Harris and Tim Walz can be our choice. Before this recent announcement, when Biden stepped down from the top of the ticket, I was still unsure if I wanted to cast my vote for Harris. For one, I was unsure about her “bedfellows.” Would she succumb to the special interests and select another Zionist, mirroring Biden? Would she pander to those “Israel First” lobbyists and special interests and be made to forget that her first duty is to the USA and not to a foreign country that is dragging the US into the mud of regional conflicts? Honestly, with her choice of Walz, I was a little relieved.

From Michael Moore substack:

I promised you a blueprint and a strategy that, beginning today, working together, we can use to actually, once and for all, end the career of a political arsonist, the man who attempted to overthrow the duly-elected government of the United States of America, the 34-time convicted felon, self-admitted sexual abuser, and one-time Dean of Trump University: Donald J. Trump. 

This is it. 

This is how Trump will meet his fate: You, me, this Toolkit I’m building for you, and millions of Americans who will be engaged and unforgiving over these next three months.

Although this toolkit has the blessing of many in my progressive family of activists, writers, and non-violent rebels, it has not been approved by the Democratic National Committee. I did run it by various people in D.C. who were happy to read it. All agreed that nothing I’m suggesting we do is wrong or inappropriate and, in fact, I was told it was actually better that we were doing our own “rogue operation.”  

We then dive deep into the nightmare of money in politics with GREG COLERIDGE of Move to Amend.

RAY MCCLENDON of Communities United for Justice gives us the full report for embattled, disenfranchised Georgia.

We take a deep dive into the dark world of the Electoral College and the possibility that the 2024 election could hinge on MAGA decertifying enough states to swing the presidency.

WENDI LEDERMAN gives us the latest report from Ron Desantis’s Florida.

PAUL NEWMAN, MIKE HERSH, MYLA RESON & LYNN FEINERMAN give us great insights into saving our democracy.

Chair SUSAN YOUNG of the Pacifica Radio National Board gives us the call to vote in the on-going Pacifica election.

DR. RUTH STRAUSS updates us on Pacifica and the protection of our national election.

TATANKA BRICCA then introduces the great DENNY ZANE, former mayor of Santa Monica, who explains the Earth-moving referendum process in Los Angeles.

Denny is joined by the great LINDA SEELEY of the Mothers for Peace of San Luis Obispo, working for 50 years to shut the insane reactors at Diablo Canyon.
