On Radio Gaga. Defence person ‘warns’ that the UK is ill-equipped to ward off an attack such as Russia’s against Ukraine. We need to recruit masses of people urgently! Now that we know Russia is attacking other countries…
Previous item was 36 bomb attacks on Yemen, and that was only yesterday.
This was because of the importance of the shipping (to Israel, presumably), the voice explained.
It seems now that even reading the news is immoral and probably a war crime. The above would qualify as 'support for Terorrism ’ if the 2000 Terrorism act hadn’t been so deviously worded as to redefine ‘support for terrorist group’ as what the government nominates, rather than the definition of terrorism that is made within the same act (and the same item).
[Edit: above paragraph, bold words added. In the (then) new crime “Support for a terrorist group”, the terrorism implied is designated by the government, even though Terrorism itself is defined, in the same item, in traditional terms like bombing and for political aims. This means when talking about support for a terrorist group it not only allows the government to finger groups as terrorists (while bypassing its own definition) but also means the UK government can not be legally accused of supporting terrorist groups; a win-win, but a crime against logic]

Because they know Michelle cannot run. Sure, they’d vote for her in droves and that’s where the problems begin lol. It’s never going to happen.
Yes that had me wondering. Where are all those supposed Russian troops going to come from - are they getting the ferry from Calais? If (in their dreams) France and presumably Germany has fallen, maybe we should be talking to Russia. Or talking to them now, rather than biting their tail, like they are trying to provoke the war.

I think Kamala might get a month or two at the end of Joe’s fourth year, just for the record books. BUt that seems like a LONG time away at the current rate. .

I’m sure a lof of US people would appreciate a president that at least didn’t sound nasty. That’s about all they’d get though. Show must go on…

British army would exhaust capabilities after two months of war, MPs told
We’ve probably got a couple of months worth of warmongers - we could use them first, as for them it’s such a good thing, then have a vote.

Haha. I thought that was RobG’s gag - the ‘tranny’ Ahern, who recently got married…
Can you do a fake sincere Barack, now that would be something
It’s not shopped. Michael LaVaughn Robinson. Evidence is out there.
Interest in her has been increasing. I read she had always railed against the intrusions of being the First Couple and said she wouldn’t run.
Running mate - probably the worst of both worlds!
There are obviously unique benefits to the Presidency though, she is probably open to persuasion…likely to give Trump more of a run for his money than old Joe.
On reflection I think the trouble maybe is the grandee$ don’t want her. Maybe she doesn’t think war with Russia is a good thing.
Whereas the alternative seems not to think much at all

For all his faults, RFK Jr is speaking out about Russia-Ukraine, albeit that he’s mainly concerned that “Israel” will no longer get all the best bombs.

I was very pro RFK Jnr. in the light of his organisations work on covid and jabs - BUT to be in charge of something called Children’s Health Defence and deny or seek to excuse the deliberate murder by Israel of tens of thousands of children in Gaza brings a new meaning to the word Hypocrisy, and I could never write words in support of him or his ilk.
cheers

It’s a tough one to explain. My best guess is that perhaps Israel supporters are funding his campaign, which would mean it would be dead without them, and also that nothing he says can help stop the slaughter. Maybe he reckons he’s no worse than the other two. Though he’s probably least worst it’s difficult to endorse him on that basis.
Seeking the benefit of higher wisdon there is Jeremy R Hammond, prolific vaccine (not for) campaigner and activist for Palestinians. He wrote at first that Kennedy was wrong about Israel+Palestine and explained why, but said this didn’t rule him out as the others were the same on I+P but terrible on medical tyranny type stuff.
That was before Oct 7 and he’s since said he couldn’t vote for him now.
Not simple - seeking even more wisdom might take us back to Chomsky of old. Put your cross in a box he said, but it’s not worth spending more than 5 minutes on it because there are more important things to do like build support.
If you don’t live in the US he’d probably say make that 5 seconds, or 0.5 seconds!
Or these days he might say if you’re unvaccinated you should make yourself useful and volunteer as a human shield, but don’t forget to social distance

" The End "
(Of RFK’s campaign)
Strictly speaking he says he’s only announced his withdrawal from swing states (to avoid being a ‘spolier’ candidate), but at the same time he also explains that the media made it impossible - he’s only been on mainstream twice, by comparison Ross Perot was on 34 times - as well as the legal obstacles and challenges brought by his former friends the Dems.
Anyway he made a very good speech. Albeit with one unsuprising omission - no mention of Israel or Palestine. Which doesn’t affect the election much as neither of the main parties are discussing it much.

It has become clear that as many suspected AIPAC were providing funding for RFK.
So he’s free to have that discussion with Max Blumenthal. I’ve got the popcorn in, but I fear it will rot…but we can only imaging what a candidate he might have made had he been blazing the anti-corruption trail while openly criticizing the genocide in Gaza as well.
Kennedy’s main contribution was supposed to be in the arena of democracy and the integrity of government. This about sums it up:
“As you all know, I left that party last October because it had departed so dramatically from the core values I grew up with. It had become the party of war, censorship, corruption, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Ag, and Big Money. When it abandoned democracy by cancelling the primary to conceal the cognitive decline of the sitting President, I left the party to run as an independent.”
And this: " In the name of saving democracy, the Democratic Party set itself to dismantling it. Lacking confidence that its candidate could win at the voting booth, the DNC waged continual legal warfare against both President Trump and myself. Each time our volunteers turned in those towering boxes of signatures needed to get on the ballot, the DNC dragged us into court state by state attempting to erase their work and to subvert the will of the voters who had signed. It deployed DNC-aligned judges to throw me — and other candidates — off the ballot and to throw President Trump in jail. It ran a sham of a primary, rigged to prevent any serious challenge to President Biden."
If you’ve been wondering how Trump was unaccountably speaking less incoherently than usual on matters like government, freedom, and/from big Tech, health and big Med, it’s likely because RFK and he have been confabbing. RKF is aligning with Trump it seems, though it’s not clear what his role will be precisely. RFK was offered a role in 2016 but the offer fell through; I imagine that might be renewed this time should Trump win.
Also in the circle is Calley Means whose input has to be useful given his intimate knowledge of the workings of Pharma and the system. Means and his physician sister Casey are the fare in the (now viral and widely acclaimed) video posted by @admin that we are still discussing on another thread.

Yes he has qualities you wouldn’t want in a mate but the role of president in the ‘good’ party is clearly treated by those that matter as cosmetic and irrelevant.
