According to the Special Counsel's report on Biden's mishandling of classified documents, Biden is "an elderly man with a faulty memory." And his memory got "worse" over the course of the investigation to the point where Biden "did not remember when he was vice president" or "even within several years, when his son Beau died."

U.S. officials may not acknowledge the connection between the Gaza War and the U.S. bombing campaign, but there is no question that Israeli militarism is relevant to the increased attacks from the Houthis against commercial shipping in the Red Sea as well as the increased attacks from Iranian-backed militia against U.S. facilities in Jordan, Syria, and Iraq. 
The dehumanization of Muslims and Arabs combined with outright misinformation about October 7 is the engine powering the genocide in Gaza.

Activists shut down Woodward MPC manufacturing facility in Niles, Illinois, on Wednesday, February 7, to protest the company's role in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
The U.S. and Europe — the Brits in particular — are out of control and flouting international law as they carry out military strikes in Yemen, Syria and Iraq. The West claims it is an act of self-defense, but instead of killing or arresting specific individuals responsible for attacks, are engaged in collective punishment. I think we are coming to a point where anger against the West is going to boil over and the U.S. and Europe will get a taste of their own medicine. All of this was avoidable, but the U.S. and Britain have convinced their citizens that attacks on foreign countries without the b…

Israel rejected a Hamas proposal for a ceasefire, which included the return of Israeli captives held in Gaza, and is preparing instead to expand its ground invasion to Rafah, where 1.9 million Palestinians are seeking refuge.
WASHINGTON —The Communications Workers have become the latest in a growing line of big unions demanding a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war, and particularly the Israeli siege of Gaza. The union board's February 6 resolution takes issue, however, with Hamas's "horrifying" attack on Israel on October 7 and calls for the release of the hostages. …

As Israel's assault on Gaza has displaced the majority of Palestinians in Gaza, more than half are sheltering in facilities run by UNRWA, the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees. Despite being the largest humanitarian agency in Gaza, UNRWA says it may run out of funds by the end of the month, after at least 18 states or institutions, including many of the agency's biggest funders, announced they were suspending their donations in January.

Last month, the U.S. even warned Tehran about an ISIS attack in Iran that killed nearly 100 Iranians.

The fact that the court in the Ukraine v. Russia case ordered an immediate cease-fire yet did not impose one in the Gaza conflict in the South Africa v. Israel case presents a quandary.

We speak with Dr. Tariq Haddad, a Palestinian American leader who refused to meet with Secretary of State Antony Blinken last week in protest of the Biden administration's ongoing support of Israel's bombardment of Gaza. Instead, the doctor wrote a 12-page letter to Blinken admonishing the latter for his role in the deaths of nearly 100 of his family members. "I wanted him to see me and see Palestinians as human beings, not as some part of a political game," says Haddad. He shares stories of some of his lost loved ones and condemns U.S. political and military partnership with Israel. ̶…

Image by Ahmed Abu Hameeda. | The World War II mass murder of European Jewry took place mostly behind closed doors, as it were. Most of the living witnesses were the perpetrators. Not so the Gaza genocide. Like the American war in Vietnam, the destruction and the mass murder are reported in the media daily, even in the mainstream media that is right up Israel's arse. The media exposure proved fatal to the US cause in Vietnam. What chance a comparable development regarding Gaza? By contrast with the conditions of the Jewish holocaust, there is the knowledge and capacity to constrain Israel's bloodlust. | To rea…

(For my foreign readers who are not native English speakers the phrase, "stick it", means that Zelensky should shove the suggestion up his anal canal. Given Zelensky's proven prowess as a penis piano p…

An earlier article in this blog (Thinking Outside the Box, by Observer R, January 7, 2024) discussed how the American Establishment has tended to keep following familiar ways of dealing with international issues, even when things were not going well at all. A natural question is what would be some non-familiar ways of thinking? Such thinking is often called 'blue sky' or 'brainstorming' or 'run it up the flagpole and see if anyone salutes' or other similar terms. The blue sky ideas are then refined into something more practical, but still a departure from the usual track. So, based on much current thinking,…
