"WE THE PEOPLE" party?

I can 't help but agree with this comment -

"Any political movement that challenges the status quo will be subverted and co-opted, just like Occupy, Tea Party, MAGA etc. or denied access just like Ron Paul's rEVOLution. Good luck. You can't change this system by voting."

As if on queue, a stunning snapshot of the psychopathy of violence and hate.

Power, Decadence, and Denial.

The common denominator -> White.

A telling point from the conversation.

And so we have to remind people that this is a bipartisan position on the part of the politicians who have been completely paid off and compromised by the Zionist lobby and the interests and objectives of the ruling element. That ruling element is disproportionately Zionist also. But even more importantly, we have to remind people of the terms of struggle and resistance. What we are seeing today is not an aberration but historical continuity. The Criminal Attack on Iran by the U.S. and Israeli Fascist Regimes Once Again Revealed the Sadistic Brutality that Has Always Been At the Core of the Western European Imperialist Project. It is what made Europe, Europe, and it is the material basis of white power. 

So you're right. This is what we see now with U.S. policies is a reflection of the agenda of the ruling class. The majority of the US population is opposed to the war, but that has no bearing on the policies because there is no democracy in fascism. The people are just ignored but if they actively resist they are suppressed. The only agenda that counts is the agenda of capital and at the center of that agenda is the commitment to war to solve Western capitalist decline - an impossibility.  

Ah the mighty Petrodollar.

What does this all mean?

Great overview from Vijay!

Steal, conceal, and do the unreal - that's how psychopaths operate.

How much of this is actually possible, I'm a little skeptical about.

In the United States, there isn't a democracy. Sure, there are 'elections', but that's really about the rich and powerful picking their middle management for the next couple of years. 'Democrat' and 'Republican' don't have any real meaning to the public otherwise.

They do serve a performative purpose - to maintain the illusion that the US is a democracy.

Hanging out at Saltwater State Park

I'm sure many before have stood or sat and stared out at the water, air, and sky ... and wondered.

Habs to face the Lightning in the 2026 Stanley Cup Finals, Round 1.

They don't have home ice advantage. But then again, I've always thought it's about the performance, not the atmosphere.

I could be proven wrong.
