On the March

Another week and the steady march towards global meltdown continues. The pattern is all too familiar by now.

• Israeli artillery shelling kills 19 civilians in Gaza - Supremacist Israel continues to slaughter civilians while the world looks on from the sidelines, indifferent or afraid to offend Israel or the US. With no Jewish settlers left to protect, Gaza is now essentially a free-fire zone where you can take potshots with artillery no less. Even though everyone is well aware of the risks of such military tactics. But few in racist Israel would even consider that Palestinian lives are worth anything (at least not as much as Jewish lives mind you). If they did care one iota they would not have subjected the former tenants to more than half a century of hardship in the first place.
• Democats win US House of Representatives and Senate - Democracy at work? Winds of change? Don’t worry, because Pelosi is still a Zionist collaborator. Same shit, different assholes. Bolton most likely will be sent back to whatever slimy pit he came from, but his replacement will surely just be a smoother, more cunningly disguised version of the same old US attitudes. All in all, the best one can hope for is domestic controversies that will paralyze the ability to act, but as noted, even a starved, more covert policy may well do far more damage and sway far more foreign states. After all, the illusion of the good that supposedly is the US is never far away. Critics of the US who herald this as a victory must be as deluded as they are naive.
• Outrage at London sting by US spies - “Undercover American agents are staging secret ’sting’ operations in Britain against criminal and terrorist suspects they want to extradite to the US.”
