Mainly because anything they've experienced makes it about the person and the need to eulogize and hero-ize, and lion-ize them in ways that are often distorted and false.
This aside, this looks like an interesting book.

Pretty fucked up
In the months following October 7, the IDF’s usage of Microsoft’s Azure cloud service surged more than 200-fold. The amount of data from surveillance cameras, drones, checkpoints, biometric scanners, phone calls, and intercepted Palestinian personal data stored by the IDF on Microsoft servers doubled in the next nine months, reaching 13.6 petabytes by July 2024 – equivalent to 23,000 years of audio, or seven trillion pages of text.
The point of all this was to create an enormous digital dragnet, where Palestinians’ every move, word, and keystroke was recorded in monitored in the greatest and most dystopian digital dragnet ever created. In the words of Yossi Sariel, the head of Unit 8200, the IDF’s surveillance division, the plan was to “track everyone, all of the time.”
Sariel argued that big data was the solution to Israel’s problems, envisaging a future where Israel intercepted and stored “a million calls an hour” from Palestine, and used A.I. to search for keywords and identify threats.
There was no way, however, that Israel could do this alone, as it did not possess the expertise or anything like the storage capacity needed for such a project. To this end, Sariel travelled to Seattle in 2021 to meet with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, to pitch him on the surveillance partnership whereby Microsoft would build Unit 8200 a customized and segregated area within its Azure platform.
The Israeli military uses Microsoft Azure to transcribe, translate, and otherwise process intelligence garnered via mass surveillance, which is then linked to Israel’s A.I.-based weapons systems.
Yes, he's a thug - but he's just the face of the broader, larger, uglier movement.

""History revealed that human rights, the consent of the governed, rule of law, and rationalism were all ideological mystifications meant to disguise and obscure the class project of the bourgeoisie of Europe that had been erected on the pedestal of slavery and colonial accumulation on a global scale. Nowhere was that lurid mendacity more apparent than in the territories named the United States of America where a vicious, white supremacist ruling class murdered, raped, burnt, and mutilated in wars of annihilation protected by their white supremacist God who blessed them through “manifest destiny” with the right to murder and conquer from sea to shining sea, from the East coast of indigenous lands to the West coast and beyond.
To begin with, the idea that central planning runs counter to innovation is bullshit.
Innovation is a function of the human mind, or collective human minds, not corporations, government or any kind of structure.
And the US Empire is right on schedule!
As US warships inch towards Colombia and Venezuela, Petro denounces Trump’s airstrikes in the Caribbean as “extrajudicial executions”
https://mondoweiss.net/2025/10/portlands-city-councilors-pledge-to-investigate-citys-ties-to-israel/
A group Portland lawmakers launched a pledge to investigate the city’s connections to Israeli weapons.
The commitment calls for probes into the manufacturing and transport of weapons intended for Israel, as well as other potential connections to the country.
“The United States has provided billions of dollars in military funding, weapons, and diplomatic cover to facilitate Israel’s genocide of Palestinians,” reads a press release on the pledge. “The federal Government has utterly failed to uphold their duty to prevent genocide and uphold respect for international humanitarian law, so cities across the United States are mobilizing to ensure that local tax dollars and supply chains do not support criminal warfare and that local weapons manufacturers are held accountable for their role in genocide.”
I mean what other conflation of terms works better to describe this?

In so many ways, the world's lack of any real action to stop a bunch of bullies/psychopaths/criminals from destroying a nation, reflects what's to come; when those same bullies/psychopaths/criminals wreck the rest of the planet in the same way.

... the byproducts of these data centers are environmental degradation, loss of land which could have productive uses, and a massive load added to the outdated electrical grid, for which the buck is passed on to electric bills rather than the companies operating the data center. This process describes what Syrian scholar Ali Kadri calls the ‘accumulation of waste’. Although Kadri’s main theoretical contributions focus on how ‘war is the basis of accumulation’, it can be useful to stretch his theory to this example to show that through favoring lumpen development of the tech oligarchy, the basis of accumulation is the waste of natural resources which are required in the form of land for the buildings, water for the cooling systems, and air for exhaust pumps and AC systems. The location of these data centers forms an almost circular Venn diagram with working-class and poor areas in the United States . Thus, they are composed of what Kadri calls ‘surplus populations’ or populations whose rights to life and development are sacrificed at the altar of accumulation.

Hint - it's not all the countries the United States is trying to either attack, sanction, bomb, invade, overthrow, or loot.
The recent US airstrikes in the Caribbean and military threats against Venezuela are a continuation of decades (or even centuries) of US policy on the region, not a departure from it.
To psychopaths and criminals, it's just a pause for them to re-arm and fire again.
The efforts by the US in the Caribbean are exactly that - to instill fear into the people of Venezuela.
Hostility from Washington towards progressive governments in Caracas is not new, but the current administration has initiated an unprecedented escalation against the government and people of Venezuela.
He just admits it out loud.
https://consortiumnews.com/2025/10/17/trump-admits-complicity-in-genocide/
Trump failed to mention the 641,000 Gazans — about one-third of all Palestinians in Gaza — who have experienced catastrophic famine as Israel used mass starvation as a weapon of war and denied the entry of humanitarian assistance into Gaza.
And Trump omitted the fact that Israel has destroyed the civilian infrastructure across Gaza. It disabled most of the hospitals, damaged approximately 97 percent of the schools, and damaged or destroyed roughly 90 percent of all housing units.
Instead, Trump boasted about the weapons he furnished to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu and praised Israel’s use of them to massacre Palestinian people:
“We make the best weapons in the world, and we’ve got a lot of them. And we’ve given a lot to Israel, frankly. I mean, Bibi would call me so many times, ‘Can you get me this weapon, that weapon, that weapon?’ Some of them I never heard of, Bibi, and I made them. But we’d get them here, wouldn’t we, huh? And they are the best. They are the best. But you used them well.”With those words, Trump admitted his complicity with Israel in its commission of genocide in Gaza.
And it's really admitting that the United States of America is complicit in genocide.
Great run by the Mariners - let's hope no tests positive for illegal substances.
They are pretty open about it.
Until that is, one figures it out.
Then they actively try to remove their existence from those same media. After all, they can't have anyone do any questioning or serious thinking about that sort of thing?
https://www.mintpressnews.com/social-media-spies-exposed/290506/
After being exposed as former national security state agents by MintPress, large numbers of officials working in the highest levels of top social media platforms have deleted their profiles or wiped the incriminating evidence from the internet.
A series of MintPress News investigations uncovered a network of hundreds of former agents of the CIA, FBI, and other three-letter agencies, as well as high State Department and NATO officials working at social media giants, such as Facebook, Google, TikTok, and Twitter. These individuals are overwhelmingly concentrated in politically sensitive departments, such as trust and safety, security, and content moderation, meaning that these ex-spies and intelligence officials are helping to influence what billions of people around the world see, read and hear (and deciding who is promoted and who is suppressed).
Think I'm kidding?
The potential existence of such a secret clause has reinforced already-existing Palestinian concerns that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would seek to find a way to sabotage the deal. Already in March, Israel broke the first ceasefire after the release of all civilian Israeli captives in the first phase of the deal. Last July, Hamas accepted a proposed deal following talks through Egyptian and Qatari mediators, while Netanyahu completely ignored it as mediators waited for Israel’s response.
It's probably one of the reasons why I'm still presently employed.
So that's what 'short selling' is!

The suspicious timing of the stock market activity was revealed in a 67-page study first reported in the US by CNN.
The authors of the study found that unidentified investors in Israel and the US had sold their stocks in key Israeli companies just days before the Hamas attack. In a practice known as “short selling,” the investors later repurchased their stocks at a much lower price, reaping millions of dollars in profit.
The study – titled “Trading on Terror?” – was written by former Securities and Exchange Commission head Robert Jackson Jr., now a professor at New York University, and Columbia law professor Joshua Mitts, an expert in monitoring short selling activity on stock markets.
“Our findings suggest that traders informed about the coming attacks profited from these tragic events,” the authors wrote, adding “days before the attack, traders appeared to anticipate the events to come.” The study found that on 2 October, “nearly 100 percent of the off-exchange trading volume in the [Israeli equity market] … consisted of short selling.”

We have also learned something, and this is perhaps the most important lesson: they are defeatable.
Not only in some imagined future, but yesterday, today, and tomorrow — always. You can see it if you look closely enough. I saw it this morning in their eyes, in the way they carried themselves as they made an arrest.
The movements of their bodies betrayed it: the stiffness, the over-gripping of their weapons, the rehearsed violence that covers over fear. Beneath the spectacle of power lies fragility, an unease that cannot be concealed. For all their weapons, their machines, their claims to permanence, they remain vulnerable, and it is this vulnerability that reveals the truth: they are defeatable.
While accepting the key point of Trump’s ceasefire proposal, the Palestinian resistance movement asked for further negotiations to be conducted regarding the details of the plan.
Palestinian diaspora organization the Palestinian Youth Movement denounced the plan, writing that it is an “ultimatum between two unacceptable choices,” which are “continued genocide with refound legitimacy,” or “privatization and control over Palestinians by a wealthy elite who deprive them of all substantive rights.”

Twice as much fossil fuel as the 1.5ºC goal allows.
That’s the production level now planned by the governments of 20 major greenhouse gas emitters, according to the 2025 Production Gap Report, published this week by the Stockholm Environment Institute, Climate Analytics, and International Institute for Sustainable Development.
