Caitlin Johnstone has a perfectly matched commentary today, "From Aaron Bushnell To "I'm Speaking" In Five Months", noting about Kamala Harris's entitled dismissal of anti-genocide protesters at her recent rally in Detroit, Johnstone says:
"Shortly after Biden withdrew from the race and endorsed Harris I noted that we were “already seeing some strong ‘shut up shut up SHUT UP about Gaza’ energy from Kamala supporters toward those to their left,” and since that time this phenomenon has been growing steadily worse. Now we’ve got this freakish dynamic where criticizing an administration that is guilty of the crime of genocide will get people telling you “Hey, nobody’s perfect!” like it’s some petty little quibble."
Her description of Harris's snide-cop tone confirms we have a totalitarian in charge no matter which way the November vote rolls.
Every day, every single day another piece of our ‘Liberty and Justice” is usurped. Ritter provides ‘another’ perspective and any human with half a brain .. engaging their critical thinking skills… listens carefully and then determines if the information fits their value system… or has some truth in it or value. My lord we are all being surveilled as if criminals. Ritter is not a criminal he is a journalist who seeks peace. Maybe that is the real government issue… he seeks peace.
As Orwell noted: “In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
"A time of deceit" ... from our wars to our obsequious obedience to Israeli ZioNazis and active participation in genocide, you couldn't come up with a better description of the point we are at in the rotted empire.
Another quote from Orwell: "“You are free to be a drunkard, an idler, a coward, a backbiter, a fornicator; but you are not free to think for yourself.”
Can't think of a better descriptor of both houses of Congress.
This was obviously a mistake - these raids should have more appropriately been made on the homes of congressional republi-cons - the truly traitorous and despicable unregistered Foreign Agents working to undermine the country.
And don't forget the corrupt Democrats, too. Corruption and active support and lying for war and genocide is actively bipartisan. Even the 100 or so Democrats who boycotted Netanyahu's speech had all voted to fund the genocide. If they had been really serious in their opposition they would have attended the speech and then one-by-one stood up to denounce Netanyahu's death train of lies and held out their hands to be handcuffed and led away by Capitol Police as House Speaker Mike Gallagher threatened. THAT would have been moral clarity, courage and leadership, but you ain't gonna find that in our government.
The raids of Scott Ritter and Tulsi Gabbards homes is a blatant, over-the-top reflection of the hysteria among the political elites, the Billionaire techie Genocide Club and the WEF plans of depopulation via the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
That's right. Ritter was actually scheduled to speak at the event. Judge Andrew Napolitano was scheduled to also go but when Ritter was blocked at the airport Ritter called him and warned him not to go. Makes one wonder how many other fellow citizens are being quietly blocked or intimidated/threatened into silence and political inactivity.
In the lead-up to WW I Pres. Woodrow Wilson had journalists, activists detained, arrested, imprisoned and even deported to smooth the way into a disastrous war on the order of Wall Street bankers who feared losing the money they loaned Great Britain. Socialist presidential candidate Eugene Debs was imprisoned and ran his campaign from a prison cell.

The new McCarthyism...
Yep.

Mark, you are 100% ON POINT!!!!
Thanks. You too.
The goon squad is on the rampage because Rome 2.0 is imploding.

They are exposed for who and what they are!
Yes, the Blob is lashing back.
The FBI are acting as if the USA is at war with Russia :)
When not at war with domestic peace and civil rights activists!
They and the CIA and NSA are like a blood infection in this country.

History repeats.
