Breakups are never pleasant.

Especially amongst like-minded folks.

Still, I will continue to tune in to RBN, and wish Compton Jay all the best.


Well it's not Seattle in the WHL finals ...

... and though they are down by 3 games ... I am still cheering for the Portland Winterhawks!

The real reason for Israel's Rafah siege.

“The displacement of Palestinians as a precursor to settling in their place, as well as the projection of military superiority over the region, are both essential parts of how ‘Israel’ defines itself,” Odetallah told Mondoweiss. “Yet, the regional and international atmosphere seems to be unready to accept the mass displacement of Gaza’s people. In light of this new reality, and with no way out of it, the Zionist entity has no other choice but to continue the war, moving forward without a horizon.”

A follow up to what happened to Chris Hedges and TRNN.

That is a follow up to this _> https://vultcult.blogspot.com/2024/05/no-longer-subscribed-to-trnn-on-youtube.html

It's all right here -

The principal funder of The Real News, T.M. Scruggs, once demanded Bob Scheer delete from  ScheerPost a column I wrote defending the writer Alice Walker from charges of antisemitism. When Bob refused, Scruggs said he would no longer support ScheerPost, of which he was a major donor. His animus towards me, also apparently driven by my critiques of the Democratic Party and support for third party candidates, did not go away once RT, where I hosted a show, was shut down, my six years of archives were disappeared from YouTube, and I arranged to move to The Real News.

Although Max Alvarez at The Real News insists that the reason for canceling the show was that it jeopardized his nonprofit status, I find it hard to believe that Scruggs’ hostility towards me did not play a significant factor in his decision. Scruggs, according to Alvarez, has made it clear that if The Real News does anything, in his eyes, that contributes to the election of Donald Trump, he will pull the funding. This is an inverted way of saying, support Joe Biden and the Democrats. That such a stance is anathema to journalism is obvious.

 

Don't Be Fooled - The real 'anti--semites' are those who conflate Zionism with Judaism.

Like the head of middle management for the US ruling class -> https://mondoweiss.net/2024/05/dont-be-fooled-biden-is-the-real-antisemite/

To weapons corporations, 'STEM'=future workers.

Yep, that's all. https://www.mintpressnews.com/how-lockheed-martin-raytheon-bae-systems-are-propagandizing-children-to-support-war-throu...
