In the fog of war, war crimes get committed. The problem is that for some, war crimes are given priority and are committed as the prime objective. Intentional murder of civilians amounts to genocide. Once that door is opened, retaliation in-kind becomes likely.

There are too many groups of degenerate sub-humans. By sub-human I mean that they have abandoned normal healthy conscious existence to become drones in subservience to religious mega-memes.

For half the population, it wouldn't be noticed.

One program in Texas is often referenced as being 'successful' where homeless get shelter. While there, they get evaluated to see what sort of help they need. However, I believe they exclude drug addicts. As long as the wealth of the country gets sequestered by the top 1%, don't expect much improvement.

Seriously, a population dedicated to perpetual war or outright genocide can only be walled off. They can do whatever they want inside those walls and they've continued to pursue their agenda. Thus, they provide Israel with the justification to be treated like shit. And so much for Judaism's self-vaunted morality...

Again, It is simply not believable that this scale of operation could be prepared without Israeli intelligence learning about it. This amounts to a large scale false-flag attack that Netanyahu allowed to happen in order to keep himself in office, permanently. He is now the dictator of Israel and the claim of Israel being a democracy is now gone. That being the case, the US should advise the Israelis that continued aid will depend on Netanyahu's departure. Netanyahu has a lot his countrymen's blood on his hands, just like Trump.

Points of view regarding the Israel/Gaza/others War?

racocn8 comments on Oct 8, 2023:

Both sides are wrong and there is not right. Hamas/Gaza have repeatedly engaged in campaigns of terror against Israeli civilians and used their own civilian populations as human shields. Israel has repeatedly responded with collective punishment against the whole population of Gaza. Recently, AS IF in punishment, stolen Palestinian lands in the West Bank. It is simply not believable that this scale of operation could be prepared without Israeli intelligence learning about it. That means that Netanyahu allowed Hamas to carry this out as a means to reduce the pressure on his leadership, leadership which had been strongly protested in recent months. The war will almost certainly end with Netanyahu proclaiming his dictatorship. I can only hope that this horrific gambit will be recognized and he will be humiliated into resigning. In my dreams...

Neither Trump nor the MAGA's have the empathy to care about the suffering of others. That's (part of) what makes them psychopaths. Another part is that they embrace and foster cruelty in furtherance of that suffering. In the same manner, they are neither Americans nor patriotic. They openly claim that a coup and violent insurgency are legitimate political discourse. They would be traitors, except they never really accepted that rules and norms should be followed because they had no honesty after being indoctrinated into Christianity (or other religion).

A lot of this is a psy-op from Putin who doesn't care who gets hurt. That many countries have been successfully undermined by these programs, Putin is loving it. We spend trillions on our defense, but the way people have been manipulated here at home seems to be outside of their purview, and our big bad Defense Dept. pretends nothing is happening. Same thing for how the Republican Party has been savaged with Kompromat. When MSM has someone on who describes how the Russians have bought our politicians, the moderator distracts and downplays it. That's the CIAs Operation Mockingbird come back to life. I've lost three good friends to Putin/Trump/Fox. They've gone quite nuts and it's fruitless to have anything to do with them. They were constantly trying to convince me of the most idiotic horse shit. They may as well have been lobotomized for all the sense they're still able to muster. People aren't that sane to begin with, but with this constant propaganda blitz... They aren't just useless; they become rabid wackos. And it's all my fault if I don't buy RFK Jr.s bigoted BS.

racocn8 comments on Sep 20, 2023:

My dad gave me a really nice gold-tone analog watch (~1978) which had radium-painted pips at the numbers and arms so it could be read in the dark. It even had an alarm feature. I was working in a lab with tritium and other radioactive tracking elements, so I had a Geiger-counter to check. Towards the wrist it wasn't too bad but facing out, the wand picked up a considerable amount of particle emissions. I worried about it a little bit. Then, while playing racketball, someone stole it out of my bag. I wasn't too sorry. I remember hearing stories of Japanese women falling ill who painted the radium on the watch pips. The story went that they licked the brush tip to sharpen it.

It is the puzzle of civilization that organizations like the Taliban behave so badly that they surely deserve to be cut down, but they manage to survive in the face of modern weaponry. As ugly as the Taliban are, supposedly civilized nations have their own Taliban that they can't figure how to put down. The sad truth is that much of the military is closer in its values to the Taliban. It is a paradox that we allow our own terrorists to dictate policy where they go after other terrorists, rather than ensuring the country and civilization move forward. A small percentage of our culture might be nominally sane, but by far, the inmates are running the asylum.

Contrary to the objections of GOP pundits, the 14th Amendment IS plainly applicable in THIS day and THIS time. The 14th amendment comes from the disgust at the racism and white supremacy that continued after the Civil War ended. Few would argue that Trump and MAGA seek to re-litigate the Civil War's ending, insofar as non-whites get to vote just like white folk. Trump inherited a KKK legacy from his father, and embraced it. No, the 14th Amendment is absolutely appropriate. It DOES apply, not just to Trump, but those who participated in Jan 6, including Wray, the Flynn brothers, the Congresspersons, and many others who help that happen. The real crisis of legitimacy derives from a political party whose presence exists entirely as a function of corruption: endless voter suppression, gerrymandering, intimidation, lynching, and all the other obscene tricks. AND, now, financial support from Russia, disinformation from Russia, and polarization from Russia. The GOP is now propped up by Russia, from Santos to DeSantis, from the NRA to Fox & 4chan.The GOP no longer seeks to govern, but seeks to dismantle the government for Russia's benefit. The GOP is a party of traitors, whether they admit it or not. That treason speaks clearly to the issue of sedition and the 14th Amendment. It also speaks to the pathetically ineffectual military establishment, which has stood back and watched as fascism has latched onto the GOP. The failure of the intelligence agencies to apprise the population of Russia's incursions cannot be excused.

There is much talk about Biden's age.

After Ginsberg, I have much higher expectations. Shame, shame, shame on the Democrats for not insisting on someone else. Harris is almost nominally competent, but it is too big a risk. The US has fallen but, like the Soviet Union, no one wants to discuss it.

I like it.

A week before she passed, my pit (suffering from cachexia) went out and simply lay on the lawn. She seemed to know she only had days left and appeared to be contemplating her impending oblivion...
