If Trump wins in November he'll nominate the dissenting judges for our Supreme Court to increase the majority of judges who believe in legal fictions.

The media frequently misses the mark. They spent months calling Trump's trial a "hush money" trial when it was really a trial about election fraud.

Absolutely right. We shouldn’t let the media wretches get away with anything. We have to keep letting them know that we know the truth, keep flipping back to the real criminality and real culprit in this genocide

Efforts to end the conflict are like bipartisan legislation to fix America’s border problem. Israel does not want to stop the genocide until all Gaza’s are dead and they build their luxury condos on the Gaza beach.

Israel and the U.S. have used the "attack & response" process to achieve their war/dominance objectives. Look at how Israel sticks to its mission if the face of all opposition - doesn't this indicate prior planning? - and how about the U.S. 911? Look at the $ Trillions of "defense dollars" spent on the resulting "war on terror". We are the damn "terror, they are the arms manufacturers.

When I was a kid, my brother might have done something to make me yell, and when told to stop, he would say, "I didn't do it, my hand did." He grew up to be a psychopath. So this kind of idiotic argument is just that: idiotic.

Have we not noticed how IDIOTIC what our various "leadership" has been saying for... at LEAST the past four years, if not four thousand years...

Enough with the stupid games. This is genocide we're looking at. ENOUGH. I know, I'm preaching to the choir, but--- Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. Where the hell is Batman?

Wintour indulges the Israelis in arguing about the number of angels on the head of a pin - but it's a pin which is thrust deep into the heart of a dying child

I’m a fully paid up supporter of Jonathan Cook but keep being urged to “upgrade to paid”! Please sort it out!

It's AI, stupid. (I don't mean literally you are stupid. I find NOTHING "intelligent" about AI.)

Hi Neil. Many thanks for supporting my work – I really appreciate it. Substack has its own payment platform – Stripe. If you're subscribing through another donation platform, Substack won't know about it and will keep pestering you with these upgrade messages. There's nothing I can do to stop that, I'm afraid. But please be assured I do appreciate your subscription, and you're not losing access to any of my writings.

When you listen to the justice reading the order there’s no doubt what was meant. The first part of the order stands alone without qualification.

This is how Euro-colonialism has gone around the world wreaking havoc, mass murder and grand theft. And wielding bizarre interpretations of self-defined laws as divine justification for the blatantly unjustifiable.

James Baldwin framed this well a long time ago:

“We are all at the mercy of the European vision of the world - and that vision is obsolete”

James Baldwin, (1986)

Do you have a point in there, that addresses this thread?

I was wondering why papers like Haraatz were questioning the ICC orders and now I can see why. Whilst it is just a comma, it is still inviting controversy as witnessed! I blame the ICC for continuing to allow itself to be misinterpreted by its indirect language. Why did it not just say Stop the killing and massacre now in Rafah and Gaza. And for all Israel mitary to withdraw from Rafah and Gaza now!

The vile and lloathsome Guardian was headlining with Russia scare stories earlier today. Faux liberal rags like the Graun and commas just about sum up the decadent, heartless and rapidly declining West. There must be some way out of here...

Such a great song.

I love that song too. The title of that song is “ Along the Watchtower “. Jimi Hendrix did a great rendition of it as well.

I love the Hendrix version, but the Dylan version is definitive. So haunting, so much in such a short song (quite unusual for Bob) and it does seem very pertinent to our times. He's very wise as well as one of the greatest songwriters. I love the album AATW appears on, John Wesley Harding. Robert Malone quotes the song in a couple of articles about bio labs in Ukraine. There must be some way out of here...perhaps we need to build an ark!

I love Dylan’s songwriting. He wrote some good songs that still remain relevant today.
