“The Zionist lobby is using its huge influence to destroy democracy, framing any and every narrative critical of Israel's actions and the liberal-globalist regime as 'antisemitic.'”

Now that’s a recipe for REAL antisemitism. 1930’s redux. Frightening.

I may have to puke now:

"And now the U.S. Congress wants to provide the 20,000 U.S. “citizens” who are currently serving in the IDF and perpetuating this genocide the same rights as US reservists and National Guards in terms of employment protection."

Does my nausea make mean that I am a visceral antisemite? Its a gastric insurrection, a conspiracy from within !!!

The report for the UK parliament did not have a date, but from the bibliography seems less than 12 months old.

I’m surprised on what they included as anti semitism. The section in Covid is only a page, and a great read.

The section on the great replacement brings up irrelevance examples.

I'm so confused! Somehow during the course of my schooling I learned that Arabs (including Palestinians) are Semites, too! So what does Anti-Semitism mean? Here is one thing I looked up but it didn't help me too much:

Whatever. People will apply their derogatory labels as they see fit to their benefit. I pay no nevermind. We would be a lot better off looking at things in terms of universal human rights apart from that label, which is too often used to confer privilege on a specific group.

NEWS JUST IN. IT'S OFFICIAL: the government says that every conspiracy theory there has ever been in history was a fake. An actual, bona fide conspiracy has never existed, ever. No person or persons have ever conspired to do anything bad or sneaky. Conspiracy doesn't exist. In fact, the government spokesperson went further and said that they'd now be urging Oxford University Press, Merriam Webster etc. to remove the word 'conspiracy' from dictionaries.

There's a typo crept in when Mark writes of Aryeh Meier instead of Neier. Here's a link to the interview with this wonderfully sprightly 'old man'. If ever 'must see' applies to an interview, it does to this one.

It's going to be interesting to see over the next few days whether the neocons have internalised Putin's warning that US-sponsored missile strikes into Russia will be met with maximum retaliation. As for US bases, even fools like Nuland and Blinken must know that any aggression their part will see these lonely outposts become targets.

As long as the Baltics and Finland and Poland go along with the U.S. I don't think the Neocon brain will be dissuaded. I would not want to be in any of those countries now.

I should add Romania and Moldova to the list.

"It was never in doubt who was destabilising the Sudanese government. Prior to the outbreak of hostilities, the Sudan transitional government was at an advanced stage of negotiations with Russia for the said naval base. Suddenly, the rapid development forces launched their military campaign against the government. It’s an open secret that Washington is behind the RDF rebels."

This is part of why the US getting pushed out of Chad and Niger is probably very important for the region. For peace and development. The bases in Chad and Niger were supporting vicious movements.
