America trades weeping orphans for bloody lobbyist cash from AIPAC Shakur and Jared Kushner. This vampiric empire's rusted heart belongs in The Hague.

When being just and honest comes at a price, pay it. When forgiving seems like a defeat, forgive. When everyone tells you to think of yourselves first, do not be afraid to put yourselves in the last place. Be willing to give up time, money, comfort and plans to serve others. May those who see you find themselves asking: “Why do they live in this way? Where do they get this freedom? Why do they love one another so much?” #ApostolicJourney #Uruguay
Every one of us is responsible for this heinous treatment of #Palestinians by an extremist Kahanist Israel. Where is our power as the people of nations? We elect candidates to 'govern' - not dictate and control our freedoms of speech and dissent. When did we the people knowingly elect a Zionist ruling elite? Millions of us refuse to be held complicit to such brazen cruelty and disregard of humanity.
Our Prime Minister rightfully says no veteran will be left homeless in the streets (at Christmas?); asylum seekers spend fortunes to pay traffickers to reach UK, where they are given, courtesy of suffering taxpayers, a minimum of 3 star service and support.
Yet faced with a deliberate, heinous genocidal destruction of lives in Palestine (and now Lebanon), our government is complicit - providing ongoing target and other support to Israeli excessive war-mongering in the Middle East.
As the annual festive season, (reminder: Christmas!) approaches - HOW can we sit at our tables, overladen with food, surrounded with gifts, warmth and jolly greetings, listening to platitudinous Christmas messages from those who could change the situation? How? Before our souls are completely stolen, let us send OUR Christmas message to OUR leaders. Change - or we will change you!

Last night was one of the worst nights Gaza has seen. The bombs have never stopped raining down on them, and when the actual rain fell upon them, their tents flooded. So many missing limbs, all missing loved ones, most without homes. And the world just pretended it stopped. I didn’t even post an image with people this time because they’re sick of showing us images of themselves in desperation without action on our part. A reminder to you and me to not forget them because they’re no longer in your feed.

Joe Kent, who resigned as a top US security official over the US-Israel war on Iran, has called US Central Command's extension of its blockade to Iran's land borders a "brash provocation".
He says it is "inviting Iran to escalate".

The incoming Democratic majority Congress WILL HAVE THE POWER to stop the Israeli genocide in Palestine and ethnic cleansing in Lebanon dead in its tracks.
Congress can ammend the Foreign Assistance Act and the Arms Export Control Act to limit executive authority in arms transfers AND
Congress can pass stand alone legislation to bar ANY AND ALL transfers of weapons systems and logistic support to Israel.
Pressure must be put on Democrats to:
1. Elect leadership committed to ending all US military support to Israel
2. Immediately pass legislation that fully severs US military support (all arms transfers) for Israel
To those who say "that will never happen", you need to study how transformative legislation is passed.
Public support for such legislation would be strong. A majority of Americans no longer support Israel and DO NOT want to continue arming a genocide and ethnic cleansing.
If legislation fails to pass at first, public pressure will be directed towards representatives of both parties who voted no. Debates continue, momentum builds.
When legislation does eventually pass, pressure would then be put on representatives to override any presidential vetoes.
Public discourse continues, pressure continues to mount, and military support for Israel becomes a prime issue in the 2028 presisedential campaign.
Candidates who don't support an arms embargo will be bird-dogged at campaign events; public figures will be pressured to weigh in on where they stand. Momentum continues to build.
The Vietnam War didn't end because of one protest and it surely didn't end because of an election or one Congressional vote. Civil Rights legislation didn't pass because of those things either.
And if Democrats refuse to elect leadership who support an arms embargo, the party will be revealed as fully complicit.
As Jill Stein points out, Democrats are faced with a clear choice when it comes to Israel's genocide and ethnic cleansing: OWN IT OR END IT.

Jews lived in the Holy Land for centuries prior to Israel's creation. They did not seek to gain sovereignty, subjugate but merely wished to live in dignified peace with their Muslim neighbors.
And they did.
"No one in the yeshiva ever told me it was dangerous to go by myself among the Arabs. We just lived with them, and got along very well."
Words of Rabbi Boruch Kaplan a Yeshiva student before the horrific Hebron massacre detailing how Zionist antagonized local and previously peaceful communities with their radical ideas.
In short, Jews and Muslims were not enemies like Israeli leaders enjoy depicting. But Zionists "need" us to be enemies for Zionism to survive and thrive.
They will weaponize antisemitism, distort our sacred religion, and exploit Jewish identity to get their nationalistic agendas promoted in our name.
What citizens ought to know is who are the 'interferers' in positions of power. CENTCOM is the name and masks the betrayers. Clear that CENTCOM is supportive of Israeli interests....
This is CENTCOM inviting Iran to escalate while the Vice President is attempting to negotiate with the Iranians. This is, as CENTCOM calls it, “policy by CONOP,” when the military finds a way to subvert the White House without blatantly disobeying the President, by taking actions that will ensure a war escalates or perpetuates.
This tactic was implemented over & over again in the War on Terror in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, etc. Many Americans died, needlessly.
The Iranians have made it clear that they won’t accept negotiations while under threat of escalation. Iranian leadership has stated there will either be war or there will be peace, but they will not sit idly by and wait for the next attack & they won’t tolerate being slowly strangled by sanctions.
Imposing more sanctions, & publicly broadcasting that we’re imposing more sanctions, is brash provocation.
The midterm results sent a message that the President should find impossible to ignore: the American people do not support this war. We want out. The VP is currently in negotiations to end it, & a new Chief of Staff was chosen under the auspices of helping the President do just that.
CENTCOM announcing this escalation is the military working directly against what President Trump is attempting to accomplish. If the President had any desire to escalate, he’d simply do it. Instead, thankfully it appears he is attempting more diplomacy, and CENTCOM must support that.
It’s become abundantly clear that the President needs to install a new national security team, one that’s not tied to starting the war and that can instead end it. To do that, he needs people who can & will get the national security state under control, not submit to it.
An outrageous appointment made by an outgoing UN Sec-General - who for many UN supporters, has been responsible for the continual weakening and ineffectiveness of the organisatîon.
This #IsraelFirst candidate appointment stains the World Food Programme great history. A campaign must commence to reject devious manipulation by the Israeli lobby. This raises questions about who Israel will be pushing to be the next Sec-General. It must not be an Israel supporter!
As a life long UN supporter, and partner in conflict zones, I had left my estate to the #WFP - now cancelled!
The man below standing with indicted ICC fugitive Netanyahu and holding a Barak sniper rifle to be sent to IOF genocidaires is the man UNSG Antonio Guterres has just appointed as the new head of the UN World Food Programme. He is Luke Lindberg, a former Trump administration official and vocal Israel regime supporter who publicly praised Netanyahu in the middle of the genocide in Palestine (wishing him “godspeed”), and who is the son-in-law of Israel lobby darling US Sen. John Thune. In the meantime, WFP has announced it is cutting food aid to half a million genocide survivors in Gaza, as winter approaches and their situation grows ever more dire. This is the UN on its knees before the US empire. It will find the courage to stand up, or it will fade into permanent irrelevance. #Shame
These determined citizens are the courageous people we should cheer and support. The perpetrators of dastardly deeds must be held accountable - no matter how long it takes. #NoImpunity #SupportICC
On Wednesday, November 11, 2026, a delegation of US taxpayers and international human rights attorneys will arrive at the International Criminal Court in The Hague. They will hand-deliver evidence to the Office of the Prosecutor and call for arrest warrants against President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and other senior US officials for aiding and abetting Israel in the commission of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
The action is historic and unprecedented. US citizens, acting as taxpayers whose money has financed the weapons and the political cover, are placing the highest officials of their own government before the Court that was created to prosecute the gravest crimes when national systems refuse to act.
The submission rests on nearly a year of work by individuals and organizations now organized as the Taxpayer Alliance Against Genocide (TAAG). It includes sworn affidavits from doctors who worked in Gaza, firsthand eyewitness accounts, whistleblower testimony, videos, and extensive documentation of US political, military, diplomatic, and financial support. The delivery follows a federal court victory that protected TAAG’s First Amendment right to share that evidence with the Court, after the Trump administration had moved to block cooperation with the ICC through sanctions and executive order.

Episode 3: Iran's 11 Rules for War

This is big!
Iran has named up to 15 Western bases across nine countries, Ramstein in Germany, RAF Fairford in Britain, sites in Italy and Greece, as targets IF Trump uses them to strike Iran.
The order from the Supreme Leader is from Iran updating its previosuly declared 10 military doctrines, now making it 11 military doctrines for a response with "No Geographic limit"... See my latest YouTube Episode #3 where I deep dive into all 11 doctrines.
This is a "conditional" threat.
Iran strikes those bases ONLY if Trump and USA hits it from these bases first, which makes it a deterrent rather than a war plan.
Iran cannot trade blows with the United States directly, so it moves the risk onto the coalition's hosts instead.
It puts a quiet question to Germany, Britain, Italy and Greece. Is lending your soil to an American strike worth becoming a target yourself?
That is "deterrence by punishment" aimed at the weakest links in the chain. Iran gains more from Germany picturing a strike on Ramstein than from carrying one out.
The goal is hesitation, a government and a public that think twice before the base is used. Peel one host away and the strike architecture gets harder to run.
European officials say there is "no imminent" threat. Based on Iran's demonstrated and declared missile capabilities, Iran can reach the European continent.
None of this is improvised. It follows Iran's OWN military doctrine step by step.
I break down why Iran escalates to exactly this, through the 11 military doctrines of Iran and a game theory lens, in my latest video.

No way, no way in hell. The senate Republicans contemplating killing the filibuster to burn it all down on their way out. They want to pass every project 2025 agenda and disappear into the sunset. The Republican Party is the enemy of America. l.smartnews.com/p-8PB49quI/z…
Not convenient! Absolute trickery that benefits Israel and infinitum. A real parasitical arrangement now embedded in America. Poor US taxpayers!
Trump says the $4B annual aid to Israel gets cut off at the end of the year.
Former State Dept official Annelle Sheline says the money is just being moved into the Pentagon’s procurement process via the NDAA.
So America is still picking up the bill for the bombs, the occupation, and the genocide — it’s just now quietly buried inside the defence budget where fewer people have to look at it. How convenient.
Millions of frustrated citizens are with @TrackAIPAC ALL the way! Avanti.
A lot of folks have been asking: Are we going to change our name? Nope!
AIPAC is shuttering the AIPAC PAC, but will continue operating their already existing United Democracy Project super PAC, which we have always tracked, along with all the others in the pro-Israel PAC ecosystem.

Update: Nearly 1 million people have now signed the petition to STOP HAKEEM JEFFRIES and Axios is reporting that House Democrats are receiving 500 calls a day to vote against him.
The people are demanding to have a Speaker that does not take AIPAC or corporate money. It is not only a reasonable demand, but also a popular one with the majority of the country.
Unfortunately, the people are about to learn that the Democratic party is not democratic at all and does not care what the people want.
It only cares what corporations, billionaires, and Israel want, which is why they will ignore the will of the people and install both Jeffries and Schumer anyway.
The people keep voting for the party looking for change and the party keeps resisting change to protect its corporate donors.
The solution is to build power for the people outside the party, not to keep voting for a party that stabs us in the back for its donors over and over again.
November NBC News Poll:
Chuck Schumer 13%
Hakeem Jeffries 18%
Donald Trump 33%
The “Democratic” party is going to install Schumer as Leader and Jeffries as Speaker despite the fact that they have lower approval ratings than Donald Fucking Trump.
Liberals got played so hard, but if it’s any consolation, everyone gets played by the duopoly. The function of both parties is not to serve the people, but to serve the rich and powerful.

End the war, fire those who enabled it.
Restrain Israel & put America 1st.
We have less than 2 years to change course. President Trump needs to make some drastic changes.
