This is another oldie but a goodie, and likely the the modern (more updated) origins behind the American Empire (or hegemony, or imperialism or exceptionalism, or what ever term you'd like to use)

New term learned (well yesterday): preponderant power.
New term learned today: Posse Comitatus
Granted it's an old term, but one that's meaning has been eliminated by the US Military a few weeks ago.

RIP Dr. Soma Baroud.
What an amazing woman. Again, brutally her life taken by a few greedy powerful psychopaths.

RIP Sha'ban al-Dalou.
Your life and how it was tragically taken, is a reflection of why human societies are dooming themselves to oblivion as long as we allow a few rich and powerful greedy people to dominate.

A liberated Palestine is a direct threat to the ruling class of the global crapitalist system.
That should be obvious by now, but it needs to be stated out loud.

Israel jails Grayzone’s Jeremy Loffredo, releases him pending investigation
The criminal case against the American reporter fell apart after an Israeli journalist testified that his own article containing Loffredo’s full video report had cleared military censorship. Yet Israel refuses to let Loffredo leave the country.
On October 11, journalist Jeremy Loffredo was ordered released from Israeli jail.
Israeli soldiers arrested the Jewish-American reporter and three other journalists at a checkpoint in the West Bank on October 8. According to one of the jailed reporters, @the_andrey_x, the soldiers blindfolded them tightly, roughed them up, drawing guns on them at one point, and hauled them off to detention in Jerusalem.

Turns out Dubya's 3rd term is being run for by Kamala Harris.
Why else would she invite the endorsement of 2001-2008 chief of middle management of US Empire ruling class war criminals?
Time will only tell if it will backfire, and that will depend on which ruling class donor is better at fixing elections.
