Thanks for your last 3 reports. Here’s a Haiku for 1 and 3 called never more apparent;

Thanks for the reference

To normalization of

Insidiousness

In 2016, protesting against the Keystone XL, I saw a group of Refuse Fascism and soon visited the HQ. Discussion groups were held there with the RevComs and I was impressed by the quickness and intelligence of those involved. In response to late night TV hosts’ pithy satire of fascist Trump and the consolation of power around a fascist regime one person said, “That’s just normalization!” The ubiquity of normalization is now astounding! Unlike Tom Nichols, “The Nation”s John Nichols reporting on New Hampshire primary elections at least focused on the write-in campaign;

Vote cease fire in Gaza.

I’m going to call this, It’s been good to NOAA. Relevantly, BA asserts, “Revolutions are made possible,… as a result of the intensification of the contradictions of the oppressive system, leading to crucial turning w,… and all-to-rare opportunities. Much like in windings of the commutator, the electromagnetic field converts from potential energy to kinetic energy. The repolarization for all the way revolution, putting an end to this oppressive system of Capitalism/Imperialism (hell bent on destroying the planet Earth) is literally a once in a lifetime opportunity. The emancipation of all humanity rather than burning down the house.

Wrong from the start! Hamas may have "continued" this war but it damn sure didn't "start it"! That's what is missing from most of the coverage of this blasted 70+ year old debacle. Nuclear armed and "eternal victim", Israel, gets to control the narrative on each occasion, while omitting its "original crime" of invading, oppressing, dispossessing and murdering, the Palestinian people at will since 1948!! THAT'S 'WHO' STARTED THIS WAR! Why anyone listens to a shill like Kristoff is a mystery! Throw the truth in his face!

It's late Friday evening Paul. Time to call it a night. Let's continue this dialogue/rant tomorrow. You really worked yourself up on this one. Fascist Trump could pull this off. Better start appeasing the beast like James Dimon has been going lately just in case Trump triumphs.
