New term - bumholery.

To describe or repeat a narrative devoid of facts and evidence - beyond the point of stupidity.

I got this from this video -


Warning - the acts are horrific, but the outcomes continue to defy sanity.

A FRAYING EMPIRE


Tune in at 5 PM PT.

Social Movements, and 'social media'.

Yes there is a connection. And one could even suggest, there's a relationship.

I'd argue that as long as such media is in the control of the American Empire (and its owners), it will be extremely hard for any movement (be is socialist, progressive, environmental, anti-capitalist, some or all or others), to really do what is necessary past connection. 

Namely organization and movement.

Goodbye Lloyd Center, and thank you.

Too bad a place like this could've done well hosting events like comic book conventions and things like that.

Oh well.

I will always remember it's 70's vibe and casual but futuristic atmosphere.

All in the name of 'progress' supposedly.

There are a myriad of reasons why I don't watch movies much anymore.

That is, new movies.

A lot of it is because I'm not the target audience.

A lot of it is because I don't find any of them interesting.

But this person calls out that in a lot of ways, they aren't really movies at all.

Saw this on a social media site ...

 


It does make me wonder what sort of people would be such a person who'd do all these things.

We're talking one toxic person or persons for sure.

Long goodbyes.

And lots of destruction along the way - https://consortiumnews.com/2026/07/25/vijay-prashad-the-long-goodbye-to-us-dollar/

Who has a 'right to exist, depends a lot on the who.

Especially if that 'who' is actually a 'what', and not actually a sapient person.

Case in point -> https://mondoweiss.net/2026/07/no-israel-does-not-have-a-right-to-exist-quite-the-contrary-actually/

Israel’s record is clear. It was founded on the breach of two peremptory (jus cogens) norms: the right to self-determination of the people of the land, and the rule on the non-acquisition of territory by force, as well as on the two highest crimes in international law: genocide and aggression.   

Since then, it has refused the return of refugees and their compensation, and has continuously expanded its unlawful evictions, land theft, and colonization. 

The United Nations and every major international human rights organization have concluded that the Israeli regime is guilty of apartheid and racial segregation, unlawful occupation, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. 

The regime is now on trial for genocide at the ICJ, charges that the Court has found plausible enough to issue a series of preliminary orders (all of which the regime has ignored). 

And the same Court has found the regime guilty of unlawful occupation, the forced denial of self-determination, the unlawful acquisition of territory by force, war crimes, apartheid, and racial segregation. 

And the International Criminal Court has indicted the regime’s leaders for crimes against humanity. 

For the full eighty years of its existence, the Israeli regime has held the distinction of being in breach of the highest number of UN resolutions and ICJ decisions of any country on the planet. 

Today, the regime is unlawfully occupying Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria, attacking Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Yemen, and beyond, and perpetrating genocide in Palestine. 

It has carried out assassinations across the region and has admitted to (indeed, bragged about) transnational terrorist attacks with booby-trapped pagers in Lebanon

Judged against the imperatives of international law, Israel is, in the strictest sense of the term, a rogue regime, illegitimate in its founding, and devoid of all legitimacy in its conduct ever since. 

To declare that such a regime has a “right to exist” is an affront to generations of its victims, to international law, and to human decency itself. And the threat that it poses extends far beyond Palestine. 

The Israeli regime is driven by a deeply racist and fundamentally violent ideology. It is armed with advanced technologies of surveillance and death, holds powerful conventional weaponry, and possesses stockpiles of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. 

It has declared policies mandating the mass murder of civilians (the Dahiya Doctrine), the killing of its own citizens (the Hannibal Directive), and the potential nuclear destruction of the world (the Samson Option). 

Its spies are active in countries around the globe, and its proxies are actively engaged in corrupting governments and institutions across the West. 

Does such a regime have a “right to exist?” No. 

In fact, dismantling such a regime and its replacement with a free Palestine with equal rights for all is not only a legal requirement, but also an existential imperative for all of humanity.

Reminder - in capitalism, labor and unions are frowned upon by employers.

The reason is simple - unions are the only effective defense against exploitation by employers in capitalism.

Like my late father said, if companies actually knew how to treat people, there's be no need for unions.

Great article from MintPressNews on the connection between Zionism, and propaganda.

Here's a hint - they're interchangeable, in that they are connected at the hip these days.

https://www.mintpressnews.com/the-israeli-spy-behind-pragerus-plan-to-rewrite-american-education-to-indoctrinate-children/291039/

This unconditional support is unsurprising, given who actually runs the company. PragerU CEO Marissa Streit is, after all, an Israeli spy. On her eighteenth birthday, Streit joined Unit 8200, the Israeli Defense Force’s spying agency. In interviews, she has admitted that she was an officer in the controversial unit, and stated that she uses the tactics and techniques honed by Israeli spying agency on the American people. “Coming back here to the United States with the gifts that Israel had given me during my military training, I felt compelled to employ them here in my nation of the United States,” she explained.

Exactly what her role as a Unit 8200 officer remains a mystery. Streit has said of her time there that, “We were tasked with looking at problems that the intelligence community might be missing.” Given that her service coincides with the Second Palestinian Intifada, however, one can speculate that suppressing domestic resistance to occupation was among her tasks.

From the 'I can't believe people are doing this shit' list.
