Another great submission, Mark. Almost too much. I needed to ponder the 377,000 massacred people. Then I needed to ponder the bombing scam. Then the beating of the father. There is so much every day. And like you, the more I read and pull on threads the more is the realization that this ALL has been planned (imagined) for decades and that Zionists are a worse vermin than Nazi’s. People like Trump and Miller ARE soulless evil beasts easily played by darkness. Zionist, Mossad, the IDF, the woman who gave 100 million, Musk, Miller, Noem, RFK, Zuckerberg on and on and on all greedy liars. All in league with the dark side of this world. As I read about Himmler, Eichmann and so many others it is clear these people today in our government rival their vile thoughts, beliefs and behaviors. We are in deep deep trouble. I want to make a clarion call for all Americans to stand up and end this. I’m 75, I’ll stand out front and take the hits… so that the grandchildren and great grandchildren NEVER experience this but only read about it. I DO NOT WANT to be compared with the people of Germany who did nothing about the concentration camps. My god they are deporting good people, they are killing 10’s of thousands of Ukrainians and Russians, they are killing 10’s of thousands of Palestinians. They are deconstructing our country and values and hope. ENOUGH. Fucking enough. Someone with power tell me where to go and where to stand to fight these bastards. Be they ICE, lost Marines or anyone else. Enough!!! Too many have died. I will fight for my country … against the mother fuckers destroying it.

I hear and agree with you, Tom. The study we both do on the real hidden history of this country has rattled and enraged us both. We have all been so lied to and manipulated by truly evil people and forces like Zionism and government agencies like CIA/Mossad. I too will participate in any opportunity to oppose all this corruption and evil.

Hear hear !!!

The clarion call for resistance has already gone out, sadly however it appears that not everyone has heard the call.

Strange times indeed - the UK is only a few years behind with miniTrump (Farage) in the wings.

Hey Thomas, thank you for sharing that well written piece, your humanity and despair comes through clearly. I feel your sadness and pain but also your call for action.

What can be done?

If enough of us are having these conversations, with colleagues, friends & neighbours, strangers in the street etc, maybe a critical mass can be achieved.

Don’t give up hope,

isn’t that what these forces want?

In friendly solidarity ✊🏼

The numbers of dead and missing in Gaza is truly horrific - the slaughter must be stopped NOW.

UNRWA must take care of delivering food and aid.

US, UK, Germany, France, EU governments’ leaders should face dire consequences, preferably in The Hague.

Missed out the word Gaza here:

“Finally, do not forget, the obscenity of the ongoing US/Israel slaughter in.“

No problem-I find your excellent writing so educational especially for someone not familiar with the US political landscape.

One of the main, perhaps only, Trump’s objectives is creation of ever-Greater Israel. He never hid that….

The only filter for Trump's administration members was and is —a total dedication to Zionism and Great Israel, therefore to the US genocide of Palestinians. Hence the unconstitutional and unprecedented “antisemitism” terror and censorship in the US.

Always remember that when Benjamin Netanyahu Mileikowsky visits US he often stays at the estate of Trump’s daughter, Ivanka (Trump) Kushner. And that Trump is demanding that all corruption charges against war criminal Mileikowsky-Netanyahu be dropped.

Also remember, Israel sterilized Ethiopian Jewish immigrant women… - for purity of Ashkenazi blood == racism

I am having a bad time: SO many LIES

Mostly I don't comment any more because it does seem futile to me.

In my naivety I thought the USA had guns to stop their Govt. when they were out of control!

Chickenshit.

US Government is OWNED by the MOST blatantly,brutal people in the World. Zionists.

2 people to watch: Aaron Mate and Max Blumenthal. Some people in the US calls them 'patriots.' They are 'truth seekers..'

Patriots will fight for their Country whether right or wrong. These people are terrorists.

I hear you, Jenny. Being in the midst of it can be overwhelming. Here's one good story out of New York: “We Fight for Working People with No Apology”: Zohran Mamdani Beats Cuomo in NYC Mayoral Primary

https://www.democracynow.org/2025/6/25/zohran_nyc?utm_source=Democracy+Now%21&utm_campaign=dd34cc38fb-Daily_Digest_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_fa2346a853-dd34cc38fb-192624782

Seeing a young, proudly open socialist whack down a Dem Party hack like Andrew Coumo is really quite shocking -- even for NYCity. Will anyone in the Democratic Party wake up, find a heart and spine? I have my doubts, but this has to have shocked and rattled the establishment and given some encouragement to people like me. But best of all, Mamdani is only 33. I hope he becomes a model for other young people faced with this brutal world situation.

Hard and exhausting as it is, I think we all have to speak up, agitate, protest in any way we can for those who have been silenced.

Yes. I have seen and heard him talk. This is exactly what the US needs.........and Europe.

I think one has to forget the Democratic Party (they bring money and blackmail). I really HOPE he can survive the onslought of vapid criticism and outright lies.

"It’s a non-stop race between deceit, deception and self-delusion."

This describes both Trump's and the entirety of America's history, in my opinion.

I know that we'll see an even larger number of casualties in Gaza before it's over. Ralph Nader and the Lancet both said it was at least 300,000 deaths a while back. Truly the US deserves one of those MOABs dropped on us to teach us a lesson.

The Lancet estimated 186,000 in early July of 2024 and Nader's estimate of 300,000 was sometime after that. And every day it continues as the fake US/Israeli "humanitarian" food program herds and kettles desperate Gazans hoping to get some food for their families to be picked off by snipers. We and the Israelis are some kind of unique brand of evil. At some point the blowback of all this will be on our doorstep. It is all so sickening.

Iran’s Parliament approves suspending cooperation with IAEA

Iran reserves all options to defend its Sovereignty, Interests, and People, with the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) declaring that the attack violated the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and would not prevent Iran from developing its peaceful nuclear program.
