Yeah except Greater Israel—from the Euphrates to the Nile— is a very real Israeli ambition. And the US very much supports them. So…

“former” >_> uh-huh. Ok. Sure.

Eeyore and piglet

Holodeck haircuts??

What happens if you forget to pay the subscription on your sphincter?

Look into the School of the Americas. School of the Americas (rebranded as WHINSEC in GA) is not just for Latin Americans. Some key Saudi nationals received training from them too.

Also, between the asbestos, insurance, investors, blackberry messages and the Mossad agents arrested and deported near ground zero it’s wild to me people don’t at the very least accept Israel had absolute prior knowledge of the attack at the very least. Same with that day in October. They went around and even disarmed the kibbutzes like a month or so before, then delayed their response for hours before reigning down hellfire and causing mass casualties. You either accept they’re that incompetent or that the “panic” and declaration of the Hannibal directive was by design to maximize fatalities to save a flailing career politicians skin. He and his wife were elbow deep in his corruption scandal. Money, motive, paper trail. It’s all there. People really underestimate the lengths powerful people will go to, to save themselves and their families own behinds and insulate their wealth. Our lives mean very little to them. They don’t hoard wealth and power, because they are starting out with great moral compasses.

But, I digress, people love to conflate the facts with other wild far off conspiracy theories to discredit the very real involvement of Israeli intelligence in 9/11 and their follow-up actions. If they make it crazy enough no-one will listen right? It’s a tactic and I’m seeing it regurgitated in these comments. They want you do go down the wacky rabbit holes, or accuse you of doing so, so you and others ignore the very real documented facts and throw the whole case out together. They did the same thing with conflating the very real trafficking ring of Epstein with the pizza gate wayfair bull crap. You couldn’t even discuss the facts around child trafficking without someone accusing you of believing in sick ritual conspiracy theory stuff I’m not even going to bother laying out here.

There was a pseudo documentary I vaguely remember… along this premise… but I don’t know if it used a cyclist metaphor anywhere... “What the BLEEP do we know?!” (2004)

Absolutely agree it’s a public health disaster. People will also “save” their sick days and show up sick instead of take them, even when they have them available. We have a very toxic work ethic. Also, our schooling preps us for never missing a day. We’re praised and rewarded from childhood for not missing a single school day. And kids who have health problems or miss school regularly are scorned. I wish I was kidding. Hoping this has changed at least since Covid. But I doubt it.

Once communities realize scarcity isn’t an issue, the initial rush tends to subside and it becomes sustainable. That’s generally just the initial capitalist trauma panic. People become way more relaxed and selective and in turn start to donate and engage when they can.

Our womens committee for our local started a Tool Library for apprentices. Everything from our required tool list items to boots to PPE. It’s been very successful. As apprentices “grow up” they tend to become contributors themselves. It’s been great to watch in action. It’s also become a sort of central hub for our retirees and other committees as well as the general membership. It may not be an economy, but it’s definitely a very doable and positive community building endeavor.

So very close to identifying the patriarchy and that men are victims of it too, and then wild miss at the end. sigh so, so close.
