'By what standard of morality can the violence used by a slave to break his chains be considered the same as the violence of a slave master?'

Michael Parenti (1933-2026) on the ‘free market’: ‘The free market mythology argues that the most ruthless, selfish, opportunistic, greedy, calculating plunderers, applying the most heartless measures in cold blooded pursuit of corporate interests and wealth accumulation, will produce the best results for all of us through something called the invisible hand.’ The rise of socialism in the United States, particularly among young people, is precisely because Americans can see how ridiculous this mythology of free market capitalism is, given the deteriorating material conditions for millions of Americans, while a tiny oligarchy prospers to astronomical heights. Socialism may be in its infancy in the United States, some who call themselves socialists may only understand it as ‘when the government provides public services’… But the ideas of socialism in the US will snowball and mature, bringing in the ideas of places where socialism has a long tradition such as China, Russia, Latin America, and Europe. Socialism is in its infancy in the United States, the obvious dystopian realities of late-stage capitalism in the US will only fuel its rise and maturation.
Prof. Richard Wolff on the rise of SOCIALISM in the United States🇺🇸: ‘You have to remember when you talk about the US, that for the last 70-75 years, we have lived under a regime. It is a regime that has demonised anything and everything having to do with the Soviet Union, the arch enemy, the communists, the socialists, the anarchists. Most of my students, who are otherwise intelligent, hardworking, very good young men and women, but when you ask them about these issues, they talk as if socialism, communism, Marxism, anarchism, and many other things are synonyms. They have no concept of them beyond they’re bad, they’re foreign, they’re negative. Therefore, for there to even be a serious socialism in this country, which there now is, is an amazing achievement. The whole country is indebted to Bernie Sanders because he broke the taboo by saying, “No, I’m not going to run away from the label socialist.” But we are in the early stages now, so it’s basically too early to answer your question beyond saying it’s very impressive how quickly it’s growing. The latest Gallup polls in our country show that if you ask people below the age of 34, the majority now say they prefer socialism to capitalism.’ Watch the full interview in the quoted post below 👇 @profwolff

This was the most damning moment. You can tell Bill knows he’s been exposed and he’s thinking of a way out and can’t find one. Nancy Mace: "Why would Jeffery Epstein say you like them young?" Bill Clinton: "It's just not true, all of it"

Rabbi David Yosef, Israel's Chief Sephardi Rabbi: "May the Holy One, blessed be He, destroy all of Gaza... (Palestinians) are not a people and have no rights here. The rights are ours... This is a people built, together with Iran, on the sanctity of murder... The meaning of redemption is that the Land of Israel will belong to us again, all of the Land of Israel... Gaza is ours, Nablus is ours, Jenin is ours; they all belong to us..." Yosef, one of the two highest official religious authorities in Israel, said this during an event last Thursday at the Gush Katif Museum in Jerusalem, dedicated to commemorating the so-called "expulsion" of Israeli settlers from the Gaza Strip settlements in 2005. David Yosef is the brother of former chief rabbi Yitzhak Yosef and the son of former chief rabbi Ovadia Yosef, who was one of the most influential religious figures in Israel since its establishment. All three have shared and expressed the same views regarding Palestine and Palestinians, views firmly based in the Jewish religion. Note: unlike a previous subtitled version of this video circulating online, this version includes a full accurate translation. I also added an excerpt not found in the original video.
Palestinian hostages in Israel's concentration camps, who are already being starved at all times, are now forced to keep strict Jewish kashrut during Passover - no bread or any other "chametz" allowed. Even legumes, which are forbidden only according to some Ashkenazi traditions, aren't allowed inside the torture camps. In the video - a meeting on the subject between David Yosef, the Sephardi Chief Rabbi of Israel, and the Israel Concentration Camp Service (IPS) officials, led by Chief Torturer Kobi Yaakobi.

Zionists: Israel is a safe haven for Jews. Also Zionists: No, no not that type of Jews 🤷🏽‍♀️ Apparently, opposing the occupation and standing with Palestinians disqualifies u as a Jew. Israel denied Rabbi Alissa Wise, director of Rabbis for Ceasefire, entry, blocking her from joining a delegation supporting Palestinian farmers during the annual olive harvest in the occupied West Bank.

#JusticeForNoahDonohoe @RhonddaBryant maintains Public Interest Immunity Certification(PII) of evidence to Noah's 'inquest', rendering it same as a Legacy Inquest. ONLY to hide truth & deny justice. PII is *THE* problem. This should be, must be publicised in every post for Noah?

The fact that our resources are spent helping Israel do this is far more offensive than calling it out in a political ad.

I lived through Yeltsin, and Trump's behavior mirrors him so precisely it's disturbing. The same clownish performance. The same promises. The same destruction of a country while the leader talks nonsense and dances. Dear Americans, good luck.

🕵️‍♀️CAN YOU SOLVE THIS MYSTERY? How come convicted CIA officer John Kiriakou--who is admittedly on the payroll of the Russian government--and Elizabeth Lane @imelizabethlane, who RT has identified as a "correspondent"--attacking those involved in breaking a story about Russian intelligence hacking Jared Kushner's phone? The search for answers continues....
