Following the Holocaust, European (Ashkenazi) Jews were given some measure of justice by the Nuremberg Trials and the promise of a homeland in the Middle East. The unfortunate displacement of Arabs already living there has led us to where we are today in the Middle East.

Be that as it may, following the Ottoman Empire's 1915 genocide of the Armenians, there were no international tribunals seeking justice for the victims. During local trials in Armenia in the early 1920s, some Ottoman functionaries and army officers eagerly testified about the atrocities committed by their comrades. They were aghast and appalled by what they witnessed.

But the Ottoman criminals didn't face justice and lived in exile in post WWI Germany, Austria, and other parts of Europe.

So the Armenians organized a list of the organizers of the 1915 genocide and successfully deployed assassins against them.

After the Trumpf junta falls on Tuesday 7 Nov 2028, if no justice prevails for the victims of ICE in 2029 or 2030, I imagine some junta apparatchiks like Stephen Miller or Greg Bovino may suffer similar consequences.

*** ICE Assassinations in Minnesota Rankle Two GOP Governors: Ron DeSatan (R-FL) and Phil Scott (R-ME) ***

One speaks from a moral position; the other bleats out of self-preservation for the diabolical Trumpf junta:

Dummkopf Trumpf, American oligarch and Kremlin asset, is in league with Russian oligarchs and Middle Eastern oil despots. The writer calls them "hyper-elites."

This is the perfect example of the time-honored struggle between the masses versus the wealthy.

This Manichean conflict was previously softened by the US social safety network and a framework for advancement into the next economic class.

The clumsiness of the Trumpf junta and the oligarchs in stripping away the safety nets and mechanisms for life-improvement have exposed the US for what it has always been: A Potemkin Village.

The battle is, and has always been, Us versus Them.

But I suspect JPW is right. Republicans will promise to vote on better accountability for DHS. Later. As long as funding is fully approved. And then do exactly nothing. Or the exact opposite.
But of course.. They will have the "framework of a plan" in 2 weeks!

There is an old mafia expression: "Nothing weighs less than a promise."

How did any of the 2025 government shutdowns work?

Do we have our ACA subsidies?

You cannot train or retrain morality, decency, or grace, to wit:

Landis: [interviewing Elaine for a job] Not many people have grace.

Elaine Benes: Well, you know, grace is a tough one. I like to think I have a little grace. Not as much as Jackie O...

Landis: You can't have a little grace. You either have grace or you don't.

Elaine Benes: Okay, fine. I have no grace.

Landis: And you can't acquire grace.

Elaine Benes: Well, I have no intention of getting grace.

Landis: Grace isn't something you can pick up at the market.

Elaine Benes: [annoyed] Alright, alright, look, I don't have grace, I don't want grace, I don't even say grace, okay?

Landis: Thank you for coming in.

Elaine Benes: Yeah yeah right.

What separates Israel's present day colonization over the West Bank and Gaza from historical imperialism is funding and taxation.

19th-century imperial conquests (e.g. America's Indian Wars, Russia's eastward expansion, the African land grab) were conducted by the Great Powers before the income tax and were self-funded.

The Great Powers did not morally condemn their rivals for seizing colonies, they envied the prizes of their rivals. Imperial Germany entered the game late and took the scraps of Africa. The US entered the overseas expansion game late in 1898, but picked on weak Spain and America got an instant empire with the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and other islands.

All of this occurred before the establishment of the income tax.

Israel's internal expansion is not self-funded. Other countries like the US and Germany officially send Israel weapons and funds to colonize "Judea and Samaria."

That means that taxpayers of the US and Germany are now complicit in the colonization of another territory.

Since 1968 or 1969, Canada unofficially sends funds to Israel by allowing their taxpayers a huge tax-deduction for such a contribution. In this way, Ottawa keeps its hands clean of ethnic cleansing, even though the Canadians did their share of it against the indigenous peoples in the west.

"They sank the ship we all sailed on."
Pithy, mournful, accurate, and memorable. Thank you for a perfect haiku-ish summing up, Coriolanus.

Dummkopf Trumpf had revoked Joe Biden's security clearances, citing what he described as Biden's "poor memory," so he no longer receives the PDB given to all former POTUS as a courtesy. (UPI, 8 Feb 2025).

Trumpf did not take away Barack Obama's security clearances, so he still receives a daily PDB.

But the vindicative Dotard-in-Chief may revoke Obama's security clearance as punishment for speaking out, thus depriving him of the PDB.

FTA:

"Things feel so hopeless that at a recent Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation meeting, a group representing farmers, participants floated the idea of a government program that would pay producers to destroy the harvested rice sitting in their bins. A similar program was put in place during the 1980s farm crisis, when the Agriculture Department paid farmers to idle land and reduce huge surpluses of crops.

"We are making a lot of good crops, and losing money," said Gwin Smith, the longtime owner of Rutledge Investment Company, a Mississippi agricultural land broker.

The Mississippi Delta is a 200-mile-long pocket of fertile soil between the Mississippi and Yazoo Rivers. But farming costs are high. Most crops must be planted in a short window between spring rains and summer heat, and it is always a race in the fall to harvest and prepare fields before winter rains render them muddy and unworkable. This forces up labor costs during those periods.
And unlike Midwest summers, when rains provide most of the water for crops, drier Mississippi summers mean crops must be irrigated, requiring equipment and expensive fuel to power pumping.

Mississippi's biggest advantage, besides good soil, is the diversity of things that can be grown. While most of the Midwest grows only corn, soybeans and wheat, Mississippi farmers can grow those crops as well as cotton and rice. Whenever one crop is selling at a premium, farmers will shift to growing more of it."

Between Dummkopf Trumpf's idiotic tariffs, ICE raids against migrant workers, and the inter-galactically stupid idea of dismantling USAID which could have bought these crops to feed vulnerable people in the Third World, today's American farmers may be writing their own sequel to The Grapes of Wrath.

Good job, American farmers. Betcha y'all will vote Republican again in 2026 and 2028.

Even the Nazis of the Third Reich didn't lie like the Trumpf or Netanyahu junta.

"We don't like the Jews, we're coming for you."

"We don't like the homosexuals, we're coming for you."

"We don't like the Freemasons, we're coming for you."

"We don't like the cripples, we're coming for you."

**** IDF Continues Demolishing Homes in Gaza; IDF Soldier Proudly Posts Videos of Destruction ****

The IDF has violated the so-called ceasefire hundreds of times since Oct 2025 which some Democrats called out with a strongly-worded letter to Dummkopf Trumpf.

How people in the IDF or ICE can live with blood on their hands is breath taking.

The mainstream media (MSM) will continue portraying Hamas as the villains when all they are resistance fighters to colonialism, like the Zulus of southern Africa, the Ethiopians against the Italians, Sitting Bull against the 7th US Army Cavalry, or the IRA against the British.

If the resistance fighters of Hamas weren't Muslims, they wouldn't be treated to a double-standard where the flaccid argument "there are no good guys on either side" falls flat on its face under simple empirical scrutiny.

Who ever said that about the resistance fighters of the Zulus, IRA, Ethiopians, or Sioux Nation who fought back savagely against superior forces?

Even the three Palestinian oligarchs living in luxury in Qatar or the UAE are held to a double-standard: "why are they living in luxury while the poor people in Gaza suffer?", as if American or the 30 to 40 Israeli billionaire oligarchs live in squalor or danger while their fellow countrymen suffer from daily attacks, raw sewage spills, rampant disease, and wholesale malnutrition.

In all the chaos and mayhem inflicted on America by Russia's number one intelligence asset in the US, the Trumpf Crime Family (TCF) and the oligarchs continue the quiet plundering of America's wealth and fleecing their own cult followers in the process.

Moronic Republican voters did this to themselves and us on Tuesday 5 November 2024.

They sank the ship we all sailed on.

According to junta apparatchiks, all of these ICE agents are still on duty.

Excerpt from US Senate report on the DVA: "Cuts, Cover-Ups, & Chaos: Harm of the Trumpf Junta's Ongoing Assault on Veterans."

"Under the diabolical Trumpf junta, VA lost more than 40,000 employees in FY 2025, with 88% of those employees coming from the Veterans Health Administration. The net loss of employees, however, is closer to Secretary Doug Collins' inhuman goal of shedding 30,000 employees for the year. VA lost 3,000 registered nurses and 1,000 physicians. The department has shed 1,100 custodians, 700 social workers, and nearly 2,000 claims processors."

"As of 6 Jan 2026, the national mean for wait times for new patients for individual mental health appointments was more than 35 days, significantly exceeding the 20-day wait time threshold for veterans to be eligible for care. Some states are reporting more than double the wait time threshold, with 40 to 60 day wait times, including Maine (61 days) and Maryland (54 days)."

"VA mental health clinicians are leaving at alarming rates. Veterans in some regions have been limited to eight therapy sessions due to staffing shortages, regardless of medical need. At one VA outpatient clinic in California, seven of twelve mental health providers left the DVA, citing return-to-office mandates. The wait time for new patients seeking mental health services at this facility is currently 134 days."

~snip~

On average, about 17.6 US veterans die by suicide every day (Source: www.mentalhealth.va.gov ). Another report suggests the number could be as high as 23, nearly one an hour. The nefarious Trumpf junta also recently slashed $2bn from substance abuse and mental health clinics.

"Blowing whistles and clacking bells, a swarm of anti-ICE patriots attempted to enter the Hilton Hotel in St. Paul Minnesota before being repelled by heavily armed security forces."

Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. (HLT) stock shares at close on 23 Jan 2026: $298.09

Note this masked federal officer securing the Hilton Hotel appears to have a boo-boo on his right hand.

According to misionverdad.org: "The main US target was not Venezuela's oil reserves, but rather the currency in which they are traded. By breaking the commercial and financial blockade and negotiating crude oil outside the dollarized system, Venezuela opened a real breach in the petrodollar monopoly that had existed since 1974."

A few weeks ago one of our druidge.com contributors pointed out that Nicolas Maduro's illegal abduction was to benefit other OPEC countries.

The Nazis were Immigration Enforcement too.

And our own American taxpayer dollars are being used against us to subjugate and kill innocent people.

What a dystopia.

We are all Palestinians now.

Thanks, Bibi and AIPAC!

I wonder how many Veterans Alex Pretti took care of and how angry they are.

As a Vet, I'm extra pissed.

I hope another picture defines our times.
