Never forget that ... no matter how horrible and reupugnant the crime is ...

... The crime is still a crime.

And that there will never be justice as long as the West dictate the bullying terms to the rest of the World.

When the bodies of starving children in Gaza reach a ‘point of no return’

Children in Gaza have begun to die of severe malnutrition in increasing numbers as Israel continues to starve the people of Gaza. Infants are the most severely affected, as hunger devours their bodies until they reach "a point of no return."

 

RIP Ozzy.

The original voice of Heavy Metal has finally met his maker.

Thank you Ozzy for being that voice, for so long. 

RIP Malcolm Jamal Warner.

A part of my growing up has died.

His Theo Huxtable character on the The Cosby Show was part of that.

He was so relatable. I almost felt like if I ever met Malcolm in person, he'd be chill.

 

My condolences to his family. Tragic way to go. 

Seattle before the storm.


That is, the storm of layoffs.

Not a pleasant week coming.

The last of the few hundred or so who were told their jobs were ending,  are being exited out the employment door this week.

It can be said choices in life are all about more or less.

Not in this case.

A brave 12.

In a historic gathering, 12 countries announce Israel sanctions and renewed legal action to end Gaza genocide

Meeting in Bogotá, Colombia, representatives of Bolivia, Cuba, Indonesia, Iraq, Libya, Malaysia, Namibia, Nicaragua, Oman, and South Africa announced sanctions against Israel to cut the flow of weapons facilitating genocide and war crimes in Gaza.
 

 

Fucking up other countries is what the West does best.

Take this example:

Everything else is just narrative control. 

Crapitalism is the cancer of human civilization. It feeds on it like a cancer, perpetually growing until it too has died.

Called into a department-wide meeting on why the company is increasing in-office attendance requirements ...

... I would normally find it amusing that the actual meeting to discuss this, is fully digital because of the inability to find open conference rooms ... in said office.

Quote of the day - 07-15-2025.

 

 Caitlin Johnstone

The Israel apologists have lost the argument. They might not know it yet, but they have. Public sentiment has turned irreversibly against them as people’s eyes are opened to the truth of what’s happening in Gaza, and more and more propagandists are choosing to rescue what’s left of their tattered credibility instead of going down with the sinking ship.

Truth is slowly beginning to get a word in edgewise.

 

Along with Israel, the other dangerous external arm of US Imperialism is NATO.

I always wondered if Jeffrey Epstein is actually still alive.

I mean why would the Israel Mossad let one of it's honeybee blackmail operations against various US political figures go to waste?

 

If the establishment comes after those who dare pose the question, don't be too shocked if they become unalived.

Trump and Netanyahu - criminal enablers of Western Imperialism and it's crimes.

I mean, what else can you call setting up concentration camps?

https://mondoweiss.net/2025/07/as-trump-and-netanyahu-meet-in-washington-israel-unveils-a-concentration-camp-in-southern-gaza/ 

It's certainly not Camp Crystal Lake - people there at least survived. 

When the world at large finally is able to confront the dual threat of Western Crapitalist Imperialism and it's psychopathic bullying, only then will it have a chance at survival.

Don't think that's going to be happening any time soon though.

This would be truly hilarious, if it wasn't so disturbing.

Disturbing as in, this is the future of modern job interviewing.

 

Imagine if the workng class in the United States conducted a prolonged national strike.

Now consider this -.> https://peoplesdispatch.org/2025/07/09/250-million-indian-workers-and-farmers-on-the-streets-in-a-national-strike/

250 million Indian workers and farmers on the streets in a national strike

The strike was called by the trade unions and farmers groups against anti-workers labor codes and failures of the government to enact a legal support price for farm products.

A preview of what climate change will bring.

This is just the beginning.

https://scheerpost.com/2025/07/10/the-texas-flash-flood-is-a-preview-of-the-chaos-to-come/ 

There is no longer much debate that climate change is making many of these events demonstrably worse. Scientists conducting a rapid analysis of last week’s extreme heat wave that spread across Europe have concluded that human-caused warming killed roughly 1,500 more people than might have otherwise perished. Early reports suggest that the flooding in Texas, too, was substantially influenced by climate change. According to a preliminary analysis by ClimaMeter, a joint project of the European Union and the French National Centre for Scientific Research, the weather in Texas was 7% wetter on July 4 than it was before climate change warmed that part of the state, and natural variability alone cannot explain “this very exceptional meteorological condition.”

That the United States once again is reeling from familiar but alarming headlines and body counts should not be a surprise by now. According to the World Meteorological Organization, the number of extreme weather disasters has jumped fivefold worldwide over the past 50 years, and the number of deaths has nearly tripled. In the United States, which prefers to measure its losses in dollars, the damage from major storms was more than $180 billion last year, nearly 10 times the average annual toll during the 1980s, after accounting for inflation. These storms have now cost Americans nearly $3 trillion. Meanwhile, the number of annual major disasters has grown sevenfold. Fatalities in billion-dollar storms last year alone were nearly equal to the number of such deaths counted by the federal government in the 20 years between 1980 and 2000.

The most worrisome fact, though, may be that the warming of the planet has scarcely begun. Just as each step up on the Richter scale represents a massive increase in the force of an earthquake, the damage caused by the next 1 or 2 degrees Celsius of warming stands to be far greater than that caused by the 1.5 degrees we have so far endured. The world’s leading scientists, the United Nations panel on climate change and even many global energy experts warn that we face something akin to our last chance before it is too late to curtail a runaway crisis. It’s one reason our predictions and modeling capabilities are becoming an essential, lifesaving mechanism of national defense.
