Another Saturday afternoon/evening of work.

Yay me.

Let's see if I survive this one.

What 'ceasefire'?

We've seen this already.

For the psychopaths in the US Empire, 'ceasefire' simply means their opponents stop fighting.

I certainly would like to see this happen.

I do think that given the level and degree of lies and propaganda propagated on the peoples of 'Western' nation-states, the collapse will be rather shocking and astonishing.

Whether a new system - that places the collective and public need over the private and profitable greed - takes it's place ... that remains to be seen.

The End of Israel?

A compelling case for sure.

While a challenge to the Petrodollar, it's should be noted that Iran is fighting back for its own survival.

Up until recently, countries 'fighting' the US Empire are doing so on the US Empire's terms, and for their own existence to continue.

Time will tell what closing the Strait really brings. If there's one thing I've noted, is that the oligopoly that is behind the US Empire have been planning this for a long time. Will there recent mis-steps in Iraq, Afghanistan and funding Israel really affect them here?

We'll find out at some point.

Yes I know it's part of the Cuban Constitution, but I still worry.

That whole slippery slope to crapitalism.
