WILL WE REALLY START SHOOTING ONE ANOTHER OVER POLITICS?
I'm reading *The Washington Post Magazine*'s warnings about a possible second Trump presidency. I think most of what we're told to prepare ourselves for -- the politicization of most agencies of the federal government, the end of the Western alliance -- are, unfortunately, quite likely if Trump wins. But I'm not sure about predictions of a shooting war between left and right. Maybe this could happen: The election of Trump would not necessarily cause the kinds of people who stormed the Capitol to stand down, just because their goal of elevating their leader has been achieved four y... read more

with the going out of the light of the nucleus of the God-star
From century to century emissaries of Sirius, sons of God, have sought to establish the nucleus of light that would anchor that certain elevation of light that is a certain key from the God- star in the very physical earth itself. From time to time these have succeeded but usually only temporarily. Thus with the going out of the light of the n ucleus of the God-star itself there have come periods of darkness and misapplication of the law, followed by chaos and old night and deterioration. Thus desolations, as the cold winds crossing the desert, have in their own time and space made t... read more

Bangladesh Reaching Out To Global Partners To Transform Agriculture

Democrats permissive approach to crime
John Solomon: A college dad shot by two homeless men high on drugs and long sought by police. An illegal migrant who stabbed eight on the Las Vegas strip. An abused wife slaughtered after her husband was released without cash bail. In a single week, the Democrats' permissive approach to law enforcement — insecure borders, cashless bail and exploding homelessness — left a lethal wake of innocent victims that shook communities coast to coast and invigorated a political debate less than 30 days from mid-term elections.

Michael Hudson: A Roadmap To Escape The West’s Stranglehold
It is impossible to track the geoeconomic turbulence inherent to the “birth pangs” of the multipolar world without the insights of Professor Michael Hudson at the University of Missouri, and author of the already seminal The Destiny of Civilization. In his latest essay, Professor Hudson digs deeper into Germany’s suicidal economic/financial policies; their effect on the already falling euro – and hints at some possibilities for fast integrating Eurasia and the Global South as a whole to try to break the Hegemon’s stranglehold.

Exposing Fascists: Best Practices
This document came out of numerous discussions with anti-fascists across the country. There has been repeated concern among ourselves and our comrades about a culture of anti-fascist activism that views exposing fascists online as the end-all be-all of anti-fascist organizing. Online exposés are one tool of many that anti-fascists use to materially disrupt fascist organizing in our communities. An exposé of a Nazi by itself is meaningless if it does not have a material impact on that fascist, their organizing, or the communities they threaten.

Will Biden’s War Deliver Humanity’s Very Last October Surprise?
President Biden’s claim about approaching nuclear Armageddon at a New York City fundraiser on October 6th has produced a flurry of commentary which uniformly misdiagnoses the problem. Delusional Joe asserted that we are closer to nuclear annihilation than at any time since the Cuban missile crisis in 1962 and that he was trying to find, “Putin’s off-ramp.” He went on to insinuate that if a nuclear holocaust occurred it was because of Donald Trump and the mess Trump created in foreign policy.

*"The Sky is Falling"* by Jeff Thomas "Governments are in the flimflam business. Pared down to the bare essentials, governments can be very useful in passing and enforcing a small number of very basic laws.

For you could never become as iden... read more
