Revolution

Revolution:-an overthrow or repudiation and the thorough replacement of an established government or political system by the people governed.

-the overthrow or renunciation of one government or ruler and the substitution of another by the governed.

Usually violent, but it doesn't have to be. The point is to take down the current government and/or political system and replace it with another, usually in a short period of time. The point is FREEDOM from the rich bastards that rule us all.

Declaration of Independence

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

Revolution, that's what they were talking about. "When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another."

It seems damn necessary to me. Those thinking anything will change regarding how we are ruled by playing by their rules are wrong. Worrying about the democratic party, the republican party, Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Tulsi "Council on Foreign Relations" Gabbard, it all doesn't matter. The verdict is in, it has become necessary.

Many people are there, more are getting there every day. It's only a matter of time. The trajectory we're on is not slowing and it's not changing. The wealth inequality, the wars, the power of the wealthy, the rich and ultra rich continues to increase with nothing to stop it except We the People, i.e., the demanding of our rights as humans.  

"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

"All experience hath shewn" that we'll keep falling for the bullshit of politician after politician until we get Satan himself as President. Maybe then the evils will be sufferable enough to do what needs to be done.

Pretty simple really, it always has been. We're only humans. Those arguing against it are either pawns or fucking traitors. 

No Compromise on U.S. Imperialism

Some things people are not going to agree on. It's going to require some to over power the opinions of others to get what they want. Call it democracy if you will. Take slavery for example. A whole lot of people, even to this day if you can believe it, didn't want slavery abolished. But it was abolished. 
 
As much as half the country didn't want Jim Crow and segregation ended, but it was anyway.

Many people don't want gay marriage, but we have that anyway. Many people don't want marijuana legalized, but we have that anyway. It's getting there anyway.

In the end, what does it boil down to?

It was the right thing to do. It got done regardless the opinions of those opposed because it was the right thing to do.

Did it take the 99% to accomplish it? Of course not, much of the 99% was opposed. So there wasn't solidarity amongst the 99%, but there was solidarity amongst those who were fighting for what was right.

How many does it take? Who knows, but it was a minority of people in each case that got it done. Maybe a majority of the public approved of the change, but a minority of the people did the work to get it done.

American cultural anthropologist Margaret Mead once said:

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."

Much of the public is either in favor of U.S. imperialism or pragmatically accepting for various reasons or they don't even know what the damn word means.

But ending U.S. imperialism and Empire is the right thing to do. So it's going to get done. It has to get done.  And it's going to get done by a minority of the people, even a small group as Margaret Mead inferred.

It takes people that will not compromise on the issue to get it done. That's how it works. There was no compromise for many on slavery, civil rights for blacks, gay marriage, and marijuana legalization. There can't be compromise or it won't get done. It will take people who will not acquiesce to the duopoly political system and who understand that it has to be done outside the system, by people unwaveringly demanding it AND ACCEPTING NOTHING LESS, not by electing more and better politicians, and continually pretending that THIS ONE will be the one who will be their fucking savior.

We must end U.S. imperialism.  It is crucial to this country and the world.  There can be no compromise on that.  

The Democratic party won't end it.  Donald Trump won't end it.  Bernie Sanders won't end it.  Tulsi "Council on Foreign Relations" Gabbard won't end it. Our political representatives WILL NOT END IT.  So why the fuck is anyone who says they are against imperialism, and the outright the KILLING OF INNOCENT HUMAN BEINGS IT ENTAILS, still supporting in any way either of the two political parties and ANY of their politicians?  How fucking hypocritical is that?  It's chickenshit is what it is. 

Only those with the courage can end it and all the killing. 

Progressives Proclaim Mention of Revolution by the 99% is Forbidden

Frequently those of us in the know have pointed out that the duopoly political system, or those behind it, works to stifle independent movements and third party participation. It's done many different ways first and foremost through the perpetual election cycle. No better example than the current democratic party presidential nomination process, which literally started even before Trump took office.

It's become so ingrained and the propaganda so successful that progressives have banned even mentioning the word revolution.

I got banned a couple weeks ago from a blog, Caucus99Percent, which masquerades as a non-partisan political blog, supposedly all for the 99%, even though the owner and most of his scared to shake the boat so the omnipotent owner doesn't ban them active members are certainly democratic party partisans and thus fully on board with the establishment, i.e., the 1%, as much as they bitch and moan about the democratic party leadership.  Hypocritical as hell. They are the perpetuators, the enablers, and supporters of the left that feed this bullshit political system so it never fucking ends.

I got banned because I have consistently called for revolution and/or an independent citizen's movement against the duopoly political system which keeps us divided.  I've called for boycotting the duopoly.  The owner finally got fed up and declared his blog a democratic party blog, one like it's mothership they like to complain about, the Daily Kos, focused on electing more and better democrats.  He directly stated that anything else was foolish and henceforth forbidden on his blog. Check the blog out now, nothing but democratic party all the time with some hasbara like distractions thrown out occasionally by the resident full blooded partisan essayist.

Hey, his choice, true colors and all. It's kind of funny that I could talk like I do for four years and then he decides it is now forbidden. As George Thorogood said, "now he funny too".

But it points out something. The blog owner and his sheeple are so ingrained into the system that they outright reject anything that seeks to overturn the current power structure.  The duopoly's efforts to keep the focus off challenging the oligarchy works so well that those infected readily jettison any who disagree with their support of the election system even while they pretend to be against the establishment. Even while they claim to understand the situation.  It's like they can't go all the way, something prevents them.  And not only that, they will actively work against those that want to - go all the way. Cognitive dissonance to the max.

Maybe they're scared, maybe that's what it's all about.  Scared little sheeple who want everyone to vote for their new favorite democratic party politician and not to start a "violent" revolution.  They don't want anyone to get hurt, not realizing that their assistance in perpetuating this system and voting for democratic war party politicians totally obliterates their rationale.

Like Trump would say,

Sad.

Trump Willing to Cut Social Security and Medicare and Declare Himself King While the People Play Games on their Cellphones

So how is this going to work during the fraud that is our national election for the Office of President of the United States?

"Republicans on Capitol Hill say Donald Trump may be willing to cut Social Security and Medicare if he wins in 2020, reportedly describing the potential move as a “second-term project”."

https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-tells-republicans-may-begin-162457862.html

With the democrats running on Medicare for All Improved, or what will probably end up to be improvements in the ACA and maybe an expanded Medicare, this should be interesting how they frame this.

Trump has said in the past that "unlike other republicans" he would not cut social security and medicare.  Now the work is leaked that he might just be amenable to it.

Sounds like a bait and switch to me.   They set the stage for cuts while giving hope for a major change and end up compromising to something like Obama did to save the medical insurance and medical/pharma corporations.

We're constantly being set up.  It's best not to take anything the establishment says at face value.  If they say blue is blue, do some research because it just might be black.

I also noticed Trump attacking the Federal Reserve chairman Powell while warning U.S. corporations they better get out of China. He also indicated he should be King.

Donald J. Trump

As usual, the Fed did NOTHING! It is incredible that they can “speak” without knowing or asking what I am doing, which will be announced shortly. We have a very strong dollar and a very weak Fed. I will work “brilliantly” with both, and the U.S. will do great...

Donald J. Trump

✔ @realDonaldTrump

....My only question is, who is our bigger enemy, Jay Powell or Chairman Xi?

He's being mocked for his Royal Proclamation:

Leaning further into a burgeoning economic war with China of his own design, Donald Trump on Friday levied a series of bizarre demands of American companies who do business in the country.

They included an order for American firms to cease production in China.

“Our great American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China, including bringing your companies HOME and making your products in the USA.”

The proclamation, which the president does not have the power to enforce, might have been expected to unleash a wave of panic and terror among America’s mostly capitalist citizenry – such state-mandated orders are, after all, the stuff of planned-economy communist countries.

But instead, America’s Twitter-sphere resorted mainly to mocking Trump and his rhetorical flourishes. Soon “I hereby order” was taking on a life of its own: from top politicians down to the man-in-the-street Twitter inhabitant."

This is on top of his recent continued sanctions against Venezuela and his ridiculous notion to buy Greenland.  

The dude is nuts and apparently there is not a damn thing we, those of us who would like to, do about. I remember warning Obama supporters when Obama started with his Executive Orders that if they accepted this from a democratic party president, they'd better be prepared to accept it from a republican party president.  Here we are, they were warned.

How to Tell If a Politician is Real

If they admit we do not live in a democracy and the two -party system is meant to maintain the rule of the oligarchy and they pledge to enlist in and support efforts to create a new political system for and by the people.

Anything less is just bullshit.

We the People

It never ends.  Epstein, Trump, right vs left, the next election, movie stars, fake news, Scaramucci, Antifa, recession, every day, every month, every year.

All while the rich and their corporations, banks, political parties ( i.e., the democratic and republican parties), think tanks, foundations, institutes, national and local media, continue to rape and pillage the planet to satisfy their lust and endless quest  for power, wealth and control.

It's disappointing reading the so called alternative media on the internet where the vast majority, no, almost all, of the blogs, news and political opinion sites focus on this day to day distraction from the only real goal, freedom.  It's more disappointing listening to most of them admit the situation is FUBAR, that we need something new, but they continue to "follow the bouncing red ball" according to the whims of the "great and powerful Oz".

What we should be doing, those of us who really want things to change and understand that electing "more and better" politicians to the ruling class political parties is not going to change a damn thing, is focus, daily, monthly and yearly on how to stop these fuckers.

Instead, those that are interested choose to discuss and debate who killed Epstein, Trump's latest tweet, and the poll numbers of their favorite politicians.

At least they're interested, right?  I mean, over half the country could care fucking less they're so in debt up to their eyeballs, or working three jobs, or struggling to buy new shoes for their kids for school, or too broke to go to the dentist, or on the other fucking hand, too busy because their hedge fund is bursting at the seams.

No, not really.  These are the enablers, those that help to legitimize and perpetuate our failed un-representative political system; those that continue to have faith in the latest politicians who they continue to foolishly believe can save all our asses from the tyranny of the rich and powerful, the Great Oz.  Or even if they don't believe that, they're the ones that get off on the fucking theater, the soap opera drama that our political system is. They're the ones who give enough attention to these fuckers and their media and political and economic systems to allow the bouncing red ball to continue to bounce.  They talk about Maddow, they talk about Carlson, they even have comedians now to keep them focused on the prize, their asses in chains. They're the ones who perpetuate the right vs. left, democratic vs republican, us vs them divide that infests our media, corporate and alternative. They're the ones who refuse to search for solutions, refuse to consider revolution and insist on baby steps, i.e., progressivism, as the only way to go.  Baby steps to chains is what it is.  Where's Richie Havens when we need him?

I don't know the answer, but I know what isn't the answer, this duopoly political system controlled by the Great Oz.  Perhaps if more of those that are interested would actually practice what they preach, We the People could actually live up to our reputation. It might actually catch on to a lot of those currently not interested.

Revolution

Revolution, I'm sorry but it's not going to happen in the streets.  For those that keep dissing revolution in favor of the oligarchy's duopoly political system because revolution would be "violent" and other such bullshit, that's not how it's going to happen.  Maybe they're afraid of something, scared to look outside their fucking boxes they consider reality.  Whatever, I was reading about this Antifa group (the program changed it to a capitalized word!) and the reactions from the left and particularly the right and the overall media coverage.  There's a clear human theatrical behavior involved, typical, you see it the world over.  Nothing can change that way.  The revolution has to be about freedom and democracy and these representative political systems prevent that because they are inevitably completely taken over by human nature.

The streets are full, we have to do this with organization and common sense. We should be smart enough for that.

No Action

Sometimes, when playing the craps table in Vegas, someone will plop down a two buck bet and the dealer will say “no action”., obviously meaning that two bucks is like, weak ass bullshit. I know because it’s happened to me.

That seems to be the situation regarding any type of citizen’s movement against the ruling class or whatever you want to call the rich and powerful that control everything, including our lives.  No action.  Most of those that are amenable to paying attention, or able to, are largely focused on the next election, as usual, and as guided by the ruling class media and our political un-representatives.  The follow the proverbial bouncing red ball.  There is no force building for revolution, in fact, the progressive left actively works against revolutionary tactics and goals.  I’ve seen it up close and personal with the Sanders and Gabbard supporters who routinely rail against revolution as too impractical, too violent, and too radical.  They seem to understand that a revolution is necessary because without it, nothing will really change.  But they can’t bring themselves to even support the idea because well, Gabbard and Sanders are running and Sanders can beat Trump and Gabbard can change the conversation about war and maybe, just maybe the democratic party can be reformed after all.  Eugene Debs and W.E.B. Dubois were wrong!

It’s kind of funny but extremely depressing because there are so many who know the basic situation but they can’t put it all together.  They can’t help themselves but to get caught up in the daily oligarchy controlled agenda instead of focusing on ways to end rule by the rich. 

Maybe that’s just human nature because haven’t the rich always ruled?

The thing that sticks with me is the fact that the national elections for president involve, at last election, at least. 130 million citizens, thereby proving that it’s possible to get a very large number of people involved in the political process.  In actuality that’s only a little over half of the voting eligible public, but it’s a lot of people. So, if THAT can be organized, why can’t something else major be organized, like a direct challenge to the duopoly political system? 

I don’t know, it depends on how you think.  I caught this commercial on tv tonight and it was a state government issued alert that in order to fly in 2020 (can’t remember the month), your current driver’s license won’t do the trick.  You’ll need a driver’s license Supremo Deluxe or a passport.  If you don’t have one, even if you have a birth certificate proving that you are a legal citizen of the United States, even if you have a DD-214 proving that you served your fucking country during the fucking Vietnam war and almost fucking died doing it, even if you get on your fucking knees and beg to the Lord Almighty and Donald Trump himself, you can’t fucking fly.  Not even to Des Moines. 

You tell me, is that freedom?  Is that liberty?  Is that the human right for the “pursuit of happiness”?  Well like I said, it depends on how you think.  It’s a proven fact that most people are authoritarians, people who would just as soon support Donald Trump or Tulsi Gabbard or Bernard Sanders than be free.  They would just as soon that one of those fuckers make all the decisions for the 330 million of us so we can stare at our damn cell phones.   So I guess I and others like me got the short end of the stick.

Tulsi Gabbard is an Imperialist and her Progressive Supporters are Imperialism Enablers

(Note:  I wrote this a couple years ago and wanted to re-visit this information.  Supporters of duopoly politicians are all too willing to overlook things they need to overlook to justify their support.  Much of that is directed at the other side, like with Trump supporters, so many of which support him because they hate the democrats or the left.  Same thing goes for the left who compromise their own values by overlooking the unanimous support of the Democratic party for US imperialism as clearly documented in the Democratic party platform.  The supporters of Gabbard and Sanders like to pretend their candidates are different even though they also support the imperialist democratic party platform.)

Some thoughts on America's attack on Syria.

-Trump/America's attack killed six children. Have you read or listened to anyone who mentioned that? Lamented about that? Maybe it wasn't enough, maybe it has to be fifty kids. Or 500,000. How about a million? Do you know what it's like to have your child killed? Not by a bomb, but by lies?

-Most progressives, and most everyone else, have taken to the narrative that the President of Syria, Bashar Assad, is an evil dictator, cruel to his people and "something" must be done about him. They just don't necessarily agree with the way the United States is going about it. A typical comment contains the caveat, "I know something has to be done about Assad, but bombing is not the answer", or "I know Assad is a brutal dictator but it's not up to the U.S. to solve this problem". I see that all the time. Why is it that so many Americans believe an elected president of another country that has a near 70% approval rating among it's citizens "must be removed"? How is it that so many Americans know so much about the crimes of the Assad government but they don't know shit about the crimes of their own government? Could it be because that's what they've been told to believe? Could it be there's a little racism involved here? ("They've been fighting each other for centuries", Ya, like "we" haven't") Oh ya, there will be those who will come out with stories about how Assad tortured, killed his own people, gassed his own people, etc, some true, some not. Assad and his government have done dirty deeds and should be held to account like all governments around the world fucking with their people. What about our presidents and our government? Bush, Clinton, Obama, now Trump? Why aren't the same people who are so convinced that the presidents in Arab countries are so fucking depraved that something has to be done about them, also demanding that "something" be done about their own presidents? Our presidents torture, they gas, they bomb, kill and steal, they kill children, they kill "innocents".

Can any dictator really equal what our own dictators are doing, have done and are responsible for? Can any dictator equal what our dictator wants to do which is rule the world? Think about that, "rule the world". When has that not been associated with insanity?

   

It's all ass backwards, 1984ish. The War is Peace, Lies are Truth thing. Check out these fuckers we have as our government leaders, like Nikki Haley, McMaster, Tillerson. The lies coming out of their mouths are so off the charts it's hard to take. These people are really great actors. They look in the cameras or stare out at their audiences with such sincere and serious looks and say things like "we will hold those who commit crimes against innocents accountable". In other words, "we" will bomb the shit out of you and kill your children. "We'll kill your children because we had someone else kill your children to make it look like you killed your children so we can kill more of your children". It's like a serial killer who killed your kid looking you straight in the face and saying he will help you find the killer.

 

What the fuck man, this is a country that has been practicing ruthless full spectrum imperialism, manifest destiny on steroids, waging wars, dropping insane numbers of bombs, conducting regime changes, country destabilizations, enacting sanctions that kill many millions including millions of children, threatening and pillaging it's way across planet Earth and our government "leaders" are lying like psychopaths who believe they're the next coming of Jesus Christ. This is a country that has bombed, napalmed, gassed, tortured, and incinerated it's way to becoming the greatest demockery in human history. This is a country with the largest prison system by far on the planet, that treats most it's citizens like slaves requiring them to buy health care from corporations and pay their taxes to enable the rich to get more rich and have our kids fight and die in their wars so they can rule the world. "Feed the rich til there are no poor no more". The poor will be gone, wiped off the face of the earth because they were too stupid to stand up to their oppressors.

Ya, what about the innocents, Tillerson? You're just another in a long line of U.S. government criminals that "think it's worth it" to kill children while pretending to care about children.

That's the American way isn't it? Kill anyone that gets in our way, steal their shit and go buy a big screen TV made in Vietnam. Manifest destiny man, get the fuck back on your reservations you sub-humans we own this now, not you. It's hard not to spread the blame at this point.

So ya, if Assad, who has a 70% approval rating from his citizens should be removed for committing "crimes against innocents", what about Trump who has a 36% approval rating from "his" citizens and his crimes against innocents? He's already killed kids in three countries. He's a war criminal, a murderer. What about Obama, what about Bush, what about Clinton? What does that say about this country that has two blatant psychopaths by the names of John McCain and Lindsey Graham running around demanding that we bomb the shit out of everyone. Two terrorist sympathizers, supporters and enablers, two despicable humans that make Assad look like Mr. Rogers because they want to bomb and kill the world, keep getting elected by big screen TV Americans election after election.

But the liberals and progressives keep up with the caveats. "I'm against war but something has to be done about Assad." The new progressive hero, Tulsi Gabbard, member of good standing with the Council on Foreign Relations, arguably one of the most evil organizations on the planet and certainly the preeminent imperialist organization, typifies the lame approach to peace most liberals and progressives practice. "The premier progressive of our time", she issued a statement against the bombing attack on Syria Trump ordered on April 4th that killed six children. She comes out strong against Trump's attack, calling it illegal but then says that by launching those missiles before U.N. could collect evidence, he has "jeopardized the legitimacy of future attacks on chemical assets or the regime airbases used to deliver them." She indicates it was poor judgment and that if Assad is guilty she'd be the first to call for prosecution, but the attack may have destroyed evidence.

She's worried about "jeopardizing the legitimacy of future attacks". That doesn't sound like someone totally against war, and future attacks, in Syria.

To her credit, she calls it like it is when she says, "Trump’s reckless escalation of the regime change war to overthrow the Syrian government will make things worse for the Syrian people, not better."

But then she asks if we've learned nothing from "our" invasions of Iraq and Libya. "The overthrow of Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi, brutal dictators who attacked their own people, has resulted in hundreds of thousands more civilians killed, millions more refugees, trillions of dollars wasted, and the strengthening of al-Qaeda, ISIS and other terrorist organizations."

There's that "brutal dictator" narrative. The message conveyed is the regime changes are being conducted because the dictator's are being brutal, but it's poor judgment to do it by bombing the shit out of countries, as proven with Iraq and Libya, and Congress must be involved in the decision process to remove these brutal dictators. That is bullshit. Although she withholds judgment on who was responsible for the April 4th alleged chemical weapon attack, she clearly equates Assad and the Syria war with the Libya/Gaddafi and Iraq/Hussein wars conducted supposedly to remove "brutal dictators". No mention of the real reasons for those wars, U.S. and Israeli imperialism. And no mention of the brutal American dictators killing, displacing and torturing their way thru the middle east, central asia and north africa.

But the progressives eat it up. She's the new Sanders, the one who will lead them out of the wilderness and back to the democratic party. She was also a key co-sponsor of the the North Korea Sanctions Enforcement Act last year which passed the U.S. House of Representatives by a stunning 418 to 2. Here's Gabbard:

"North Korea continues to pose a serious and dangerous threat to my constituents in Hawaii, the Pacific, and the West Coast of the United States. Our communities and our families lie within range of North Korea’s intercontinental ballistic missiles. North Korea’s nuclear tests just a week ago, and their continued pursuit of developing more nuclear weapons and miniaturizing those weapons, serve as a reminder of the threat that North Korea poses to our country, which my constituents in Hawaii know all too well.”

This is similar to her stance on Iran where she was one of the few polticians to come out against the Iran "deal" because she felt it didn't go far enough and would be too hard to enforce. Here's Gabbard on Breitbart News:

"When asked if she had any advice for the president, she responded, “put yourself in Israel’s shoes. I think whether you’re — when you’re in any kind of situation like this where there’s a little bit of a standoff and personalities and egos are hurt, if you put yourself in their shoes and understand where he’s coming from, where the Israeli people are coming from and their deep concern about Iran’s continued development of a nuclear weapon and what they want to do with that.”

"Iran's continued development of A nuclear weapon". Bullshit.

So again, here's a representive of the U.S.A., the bully of the planet, the country with thousands of nuclear weapons; the only country that has used those weapons to kill up to one million Japanese (including all post attack casualties); the country that has been threatening nuclear war on the planet since it dropped those bombs in 1945; the country that has verifiable and open plans to use nuclear weapons during it's imperialist conquests; the country who's last president committed to a ten year, one trillion dollar nuclear weapon moderinization project; the country that just elected a psychopath billionaire as president who said he wanted the most nuclear weapons ever assembled; and the country that recently boycotted the UN nuclear weapons ban treaty effort because as Haley put it, "North Korea won't listen"; saying that Iran is a danger because it might develop one nuclear weapon, which it isn't and hasn't, and that "we" have the right to do something about it, to stop them by whatever means necessary. That is a tell ladies and gentlemen.

 

Sure, North Korea and Iran should not be allowed to have nuclear weapons, neither should Israel or any country on the planet, but how do you reconcile that with the United States of America? How do you rationalize that the U.S. should be able to have thousands while North Korea should not be permitted to have a single one? Because their leader is batshit crazy? What about our leaders? They're fucking batshit crazy too. The North Korea attacked by the U.S. who killed millions of their people. The North Korea the U.S. has been at war with since the end of WWII. Or how about Iran, same thing with Iran. How, when the U.S. is the only country to have used the evil weapons, resulting in the deaths of millions, is it incumbent on the politicians of this country to insist that other countries shouldn't have them? Shouldn't it be the other way around? The U.S. has used them and killed a million people, needlessly. It has proven itself as the most unworthy custodian of nuclear weapons on the planet. Shouldn't the U.S. be the one the rest of the planet is trying to get to "listen"?

What about Israel and it's crazy leader Netanyahoo and their brutal apartheid state? What's that Tulsi, put ourselves in their shoes? No thanks.

Fuck no, we're not going to go thru this charade forever or until we all get blown to kingdom come. "We all drop our weapons at once".

Here's Gabbard on Russia:

“Russia has violated the sovereignty and independence of the Ukrainian people, in direct contravention of its own treaty obligations and international law,” said Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, an Army combat veteran and member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “I support the sanctions announced today, and I strongly urge the President to go further and consider a broader range of consequences. If Russia is allowed to continue its aggressive push for control in Ukraine, there will be long-term, serious, and costly security risks for the United States and Europe. Russia must face serious consequences for their actions; the U.S. must consider options that truly isolate Russia economically and diplomatically—not just sanction a handful of oligarchs—and send a message of unity and strength from the international community.

“We cannot stand by while Russia unilaterally degrades Ukraine’s territorial integrity. We must offer direct military assistance—defensive weapons, military supplies and training—to ensure Ukraine has adequate resources to respond to Russia’s aggressions and defend themselves. We cannot view Ukraine as an isolated incident. If we do not take seriously the threat of thinly veiled Russian aggression, and commit to aiding the people of Ukraine immediately, we will find ourselves in a more dangerous, expensive and disastrous situation in the future.”

Peace candidate? Think again. She's an Islamophobe, Russophobe imperialist who believes the war OF terror is an ideological struggle against radical Islam, which it isn't. The war OF terror is a manufactured war based on lies, just like all wars are based on lies.

   

Gabbard is just another politician. Politicians won't save us. Imperialism must end and it must end soon. The end game is upon us. They're at level 8 of the video game "Conquer the World" and trying their damnest to get to the next level. They'll do whatever it takes.
