This is U.S. mad dog killing machine insanity. Biden has stopped one shipment of 3500 bombs to Israel. What they don't tell you is that Biden has already shipped 300,000 such bombs to Israel since Oct 7th! So the amount being withheld by Biden is the equivalent of 1% of the bombs we've already sent Israel! These bombs come in 3 types, 250 lbs, 500 lbs. and 1000lbs. In addition the U.S. has already sent 2,000 lbs.Mark 84 bombs to Israel! A further breakdown of the bombs we've supplied Israel is in this article. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/11/us/israel-gaza-bombs.html?algo=editorial_importance_fy_email_news&block=4&campaign_id=142&emc=edit_fory_20240511&fellback=false&imp_id=7312242213387188&instance_id=123092&nl=for-you&nlid=61798350&pool=fye-top-news-ls&rank=1&regi_id=61798350&req_id=7115410283261254&segment_id=166381&surface=for-you-email-news&user_id=48552702f942aacb0810b9de5ca41c55&variant=0_edimp_fye_news_dedupe

W.! I'm also amazed at how quickly some celebrities and the MSM run with the commentary that any one protesting for a Gaza ceasefire is anti Semitic! But on another matter concerning Clinton. Along those lines W. I've often thought Jon Stewart is a better interviewer sometimes than he is a comedian. Here he has Hilary Clinton and Condoleeza Rice,( in my view, whose reputation should be one step away from being prosecuted for war crimes!) At a certain point, there becomes a palpable tension and defensiveness among the 2 for their historic defense of the MIC, when Stewart asks where all this defense lobbying and spending has got us, and the good of the world at large. There are many times where I want to jump in and ask for clarity in their responses. It's interesting to consider what did we learn from say, George Bush's War in Iraq,? There does seem to be a consensus now that the war was a mistake and that is held by almost all of the Democrats and now probably near half of the Republicans, I would estimate. But history will probably overlook the deeper damage done by that war. With the fallout from that war.,it left the entire region unsettled. ( I don't believe Rice's assertion that Syria , for example came undone completely on it's own) with a massive refugee problem that has placed a huge burden particularly on Europe and Canada which is probably a big cause of the current populist uprisings throughout the West! As someone whose interviewed many people on radio, Stewart establishes a collegial rapport with them in the first half and starts to press more in the second half and it ends just when it starts getting good, but allows both Clinton and Rice to tie everything up in congenial wrap of agreement, I assume because he was hoping to interview them again. but is back now on the Daily Show. I would take this from 22.20.

"demonstrable facts"?This kind of nonsense goes on on the JFKA side frequently. Premises that are just speculation confidently stated as "demonstrable facts." There are no demonstrable facts concerning events that never occurred! You have to focus and listen. I can't speak for W. I don't think Biden could have done anything for 3 months. So most of those lives lost are not Biden's fault. I'm not saying that would have been a failure at all. Quite the opposite, stopping weapons to Israel 4 months ago and having Bibi saying "screw you" as he has now, would have been all we could do. There were warnings from Israel to civilians to get out of combat areas. You don't have sufficient knowledge on the ground to speculate 100,000 deaths or anything. As it turns out, Bibi has said "screw you" to Biden. You completely ignored this. So if we believe this Biden is not going to deter Bibi from committing your speculated 100,000 death invasion. We'll see how many they kill and whatever's less than your speculative 100,000, you'll deem a success? heh heh At a certain point, you have to be in the now, not some speculative future and try to save as many lives as you can in the present. I'd say it was better to start taking a strong stand 4 months ago, stop sending weapons, negotiate in the region and have American policy look more impartial, consistent and humanitarian and let Israel solely suffer in world opinion, for the consequences for their actions.

Ron you're preaching to the choir. That was the song and the album of the year when I was in college. Nobody doesn't know Layla! Yeah that last cut, Thorn Tree in the Garden was a great song W. I checked and it was 19 days after I saw the Allman Bros. at Winterland that Duane Allman died. P.S. Whoa! I wanted to see the Nuggets and the Timberwolves but apparently that solar flare has taken away a band of channels!

133,000 dead,? What are you talking about? 33,000 dead is an accepted fact! But you have no basis in fact to speculate about any number of deaths that might have happened or may happen.. Why not just really embellish your case and call it a million lives? It sounds more impressive! So Biden is evaluated in terms of some subjective, projected catastrophic vision of yours and comes out on top. In your mind is there any scenario by which Biden's policy becomes a failure? If so what is it? Sandy, Had Biden stopped military aid to Israel months ago, what would he do now to stop Netanyahu from invading Rafah? So can we now, say if Bibi now invades Rafah that Biden's policy is a failure? Haven't you heard? Bibi has now said they're prepared to go it alone, with our weapons or without. If we believe what he says, then stopping military weapons to Israel was never a deterrent. So we could have just stopped sending weapons to Israel in January, and look much better in the eyes of the world and not have the blood on our hands we now have. I guess you don't believe what Bibi's saying. I hope you're right. * Not that I ever understood the logic behind how continuing to send weapons to Israel could be said to be a "deterrent " when in the meantime 33,000 lives are lost and as W. noted 56,00 buildings are destroyed and 600,00 people are starving.

As I said, Biden couldn't do much in 2023. It was too soon. The Israeli public needed some time to reflect without fear and the U.S. wasn't politically ready to take a stand against Israel. In 2024. Biden had to lead public opinion. He's been taking his time and many have died and many are now starving. Again, but how can 33,000 dead and 1.6 to 2.3 million displaced be considered any kind of example of Biden's restraining force, much less a "spectacular success". To say that is way over the top! All we can say is that a showdown was inevitable and what happens in the future would have been sped up had Biden acted with more resolve at first , and not just a lot of Israeli "shock and awe" being met with Biden's "awe shucks Bibi , please stop!" It would seem like that W. But the other reason we all share is that job one has for years now been to just ensure that Trump doesn't get re elected. And many will forgive Biden for anything just to make sure he gets re elected. I agree, I never liked him. I think anyone who watched him in his several campaigns for the Presidency in the 20th century would get the same rather slimy impression. But as President, domestically he has the best record of any Democrat in our time. Much better than JFK! No one thought he'd do what he's done! Sandy: And now Biden would have no bargaining chips left. Well, we'll at last find out if we ever had any bargaining chips now.

Thank you, W! That explains a lot! JFK's Grandson is doing a number of comedy skits poking fun at his cousin RK's candidacy. If you open one of the links, you can scroll down and see all of his skits. Using Cartoonish Accents, J.F.K.’s Grandson Insults and Mocks Robert F. Kennedy Jr. In an escalation of the family feud, the son of Caroline Kennedy portrayed heavily accented characters who suggested that his cousin, the presidential candidate, was on steroids, not too smart and a liar. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/08/us/politics/rfk-jr-jack-schlossberg.html?algo=editorial_importance_fy_email_news&block=4&campaign_id=142&emc=edit_fory_20240508&fellback=false&imp_id=389947991292497&instance_id=122755&nl=for-you&nlid=61798350&pool=fye-top-news-ls&rank=1&regi_id=61798350&req_id=4152365644874749&segment_id=166041&surface=for-you-email-news&user_id=48552702f942aacb0810b9de5ca41c55&variant=0_edimp_fye_news_dedupe

W. That sucks!, First Thomas, and then this. Didn't we also hear something about Gorsuch? . And now Canon postpones the documents case indefinitely. But that case didn't begin until 2022. Did anyone think the Georgia case with the smoking gun recording. and the 1/6 riots and Trumps other attempts to throw the 2020 election would not even come to court until after the 2024 election? Appointing someone as a head cop of the nation shouldn't have been a payback for being passed by as a Supreme Court Justice. As far as Trump's Federal charges. Garland was so concerned about not singling out Trump, he dragged his feet for 2 years before finally appointing Jack Smith! What was he thinking? You know the Republicans wouldn't have apologized at all for going after Biden!. Look at the sham the House Republicans tried to perpetuate with their Federal overreach/ Hunter Biden scam? I remember when the House Committee was making good public headway in their 1/6 investigation, there was talk that the DOJ was requesting some of Committee's research materials. That's ass backwards! The primary job of the House is to legislate, not investigate crimes. And outside of the 1/6 committee, they are usually embarrassingly bad at it. Investigating crime is the job of the DOJ! You'd think that they would be far ahead of the House in every aspect of their investigation. I am venting. It looks like the only legal judgment we're going to get on Trump before the election could be this hush money trial. But some independent voters could look at some of today's action with Stormy Daniels recounting details of her escapade with Trump as just being designed to drag Trump through the mud. We might catch a break before the election if the jury convicts Trump and that will be another good judgment in a lesser case against Trump. But it wouldn't surprise me if it was turned over in appeal, but thankfully after the election.

Yeah, but obviously their intelligence gathering has taken a serious blow. American intelligence has reigned supreme in policy concerning subservience to Israel but I think the American public is starting to realize America' is really playing the role of a battered housewife! Do you realize we've been spreading the fear of Iraq's nuclear capability for now 35 years? Yes it has been! Yes it has, the Iraq Joint Plan of Action under Obama and Kerry. I was in favor of that and I think we'd be in a much better position right now if Biden hadn't jettisoned it. I know CNN and even more MSNBC was once in favor of that, but they don't talk about that now! Kirk:what did Israel do? Bomb an Embassy in Syria to try to lure Iran into a regional war! And of course our entire media just reports it as if it was justified! That's just the first sentence in response you'd hear from CNN, Fox and MSNBC! I said "Bomb an Embassy in Syria" but apparently you don't know. They bombed the Iranian Embassy in Syria! A completely unprovoked attack directly on Iran! So playing up "Iran's direct attack on Syria "completely leaves out they were being bullied and felt they had to come up with some tactile ineffective response to save face. As I said in an earlier post. Though you won't hear it on MSNBC. And that's what I meant when I said " the entire media just reports it as if it's justified!" But in reality, it's just Israel bullying!

About the plausibility of pulling the coverup off, that's a good point!, I suppose that's a talking point the top down LBJ- did -it can embrace. But let's face it, either way, if the coverup was planned before the assassination or just winging it after the assassination, it was a Herculean task. How were they going to have any certainty of success of convincing the public there wasn't a conspiracy? But there is a plausible deniability by virtue of the fact that the Katzenbach memo is probably the tack a lot of governments would have taken if there was at first a genuine suspicion of foreign involvement and it became uncertain that they may never get to the bottom of it in a desired timely fashion, and so that a partial government coverup in itself doesn't point directly at LBJ.

Sounds timely. I'm sure it will be used for propaganda purposes to just further divide our peoples. But I'm sure they'll appreciate our candor. Since Jim has always been such an U.S. MSM expert. Maybe Jim if asked to go to Moscow, can embark on his own project and report in kind on the variety of investigative journalist films about the Russian government corruption there. Maybe ask to see the great plethora of Russian films made about the purges of Stalin. or films from present day anti Putin activists. As a travel tip, I might suggest declining the isolated Maga Dacha offered him and get out and see for himself what's going on. And that doesn't mean going to Tucker's high end expensive Moscow grocery store, but maybe he can surreptitiously get out of Moscow into the countryside and see how the people live out there. heh heh

Boy, nobody can get nastier to Trump than other Republicans, like the Lincoln Project. This is their newest. Trump is now selling diapers!

? How do we need them? This is your best point Sandy. Just like the Republicans were staunchly in favor of the Vietnam War in 1968. We could be going back to the Chicago Democratic Convention in 1968! One thing to realize is just as Trump (with unwitting help from Merrick Garland)has probably been successful obstructing the legal process of his major charges until after the election. Bibi wants to prolong the war knowing as long as the war goes on, he stays in office. Biden has to come up with a consensus plan of Arab states to give financial support to a 2 state solution and start to leverage that against Bibi and hope with world public opinion to drive a wedge in Israel public opinion among those who want peace who realize nothing would change in their lives as they never go to the Palestinian enclaves anyway. I often wonder about the wisdom of Biden giving them the Iron Dome. I suppose there was pressure behind the scenes. Unfortunately now we'd look like traitors to take it away. And with that new immunity, what did Israel do? Bomb an Embassy in Syria to try to lure Iran into a regional war! And of course our entire media just reports it as if it was justified!
