This very true title below showed up in my email account this morning, but the accompanying text did some weaving and winding that reminded me of how Donald Trump and MAGAs, and even Joe Biden, weave and wind ...
It's Insane That Anyone Is Still Supporting Israel
Caitlin Johnstone
JAN 5, 2024
It honestly blows my mind that there are still people adamantly supporting Israel after all this. After all the people they’ve killed. After all the lies they’ve been caught in. After all their comments endorsing genocide and ethnic cleansing, and all their actions showing they mean it.
If you’re still supporting Israel at this point, you’re just telling everyone you don’t care about truth or morality. You’re announcing to the world that you care only about your weird ideological agendas and geopolitical control.
You are publicly proclaiming that you are a dogshit human being. That you have lived on this earth all these years without arriving at any level of emotional or psychological maturity. That you have wasted your life on this planet.
❖
You guys it’s really really really important that Trump doesn’t get re-elected, because if he does then the US will have a president who supports mass murder and genocide and ethnic cleansing and he’ll probably let a ton of people get killed by racist tyrants.
In all seriousness it’s extremely ridiculous that Biden sabotaged peace in Ukraine and is sponsoring a genocide in Gaza and we’re all sitting here praying that he doesn’t start a new war in the middle east, yet we’re still meant to be super duper worried if Trump gets back into the White House. Biden is everything people were worried Trump would be.

My comment to Cailin, who has yet to reply to any of my many comments under her bash Israel, defend Hamas newsletters.
Sloan Bashinsky
Donald Trump has said he is Israel’s best friend.
I agree that anyone who supports Israel now is insane. I also think anyone who supports Hamas now is insane. Yet, I think it’s worse than insane. It’s demonic.
I am 81 years old, and have been around the globe twice, including spending time in Australia.
Caitlin lives in Melbourne.
I don’t see how Caitlin, or anyone, who does not live in Ukraine, can be an expert on what’s going on in Ukraine.
Nor do I see how anyone, who does not live in America, can appreciate the threat Trump poses to America, first, and to the entire world, second.
When Trump was married to Ivana, he kept a book of Hitler’s speeches in a cabinet on his side of their bed and sometimes he read it at night. When later asked about that, Trump said, if he ever had such a book, he didn’t read it.
Photos and videos of the Charlottesville Confederate monument removal protest showed oceans of white people and some Confederate and Swastika flags. Photos and videos of MAGA rallies showed oceans of white people. Photos and videos of the January 6 insurrection showed oceans of white people and some Confederate flags.
A picture is worth a thousand words. Res ipsa loquitur, the thing speaks for itself.
After Trump was elected in 2016, he made it very plain that he admired Vladimir Purtin being elected President for life. Now he talks about being a dictator, if he wins the 2024 electron.
About a month ago, a tech buddy and I did a podcast about Amendment 14, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution. 14/3 bars anyone, who engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the US Constitution, after making an oath to defend the Constitution, from holding public office.
Several private citizens had filed 14/3 legal actions to have Trump disqualified, and the actions were dismissed for lack of standing. Finally, a 14/3 action was filed in a Colorado state court, and the judge ruled Trump had engaged in insurrection, but there was no evidence 14/3 applied to the presidency. The plaintiff appealed to the Colorado Supreme Court.
My tech friend and I did a podcast about 14/3 and the Colorado case:

Amendment 14 Section 3 Law School Exam Question Not for Faint of Heart.
I wrote article, couched as a law school exam question and answer about bringing a 14/3 action in federal court, which was a free read at the internet library:
https://archive.org/details/amendment-14-section-3-law-school-exam
The podcast and the article were picked up by a satellite radio station in Denver, Colorado, and the radio show host had a federal judge, who was a Republican, on the show to discuss our 14/3 podcast and article.
The host and the judge were not on the same page at all. He was dismissive of me and the host kept after him, and finally he conceded that President Biden should have brought the 14/3 action after it was known T/rump would run again.
And that was the point I made the podcast and the 14/3 article.
Biden and Trump both swore oaths to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, so it was Biden’s duty to bring the 14/3 action, and if he failed in that duty, a private U.S. citizen could bring the action for him.
The judge kept insisting Trump was not leading a white supremacist movement, he had blacks in his administration. The radio show host kept pointing the judge to photos and videos and res ipsa loquitur, which every lawyer and judge knows is evidentiary in a legal action.
After that interview, watches of the podcast and reads of the article blew up. The radio station was inundated with death threats. The station’s insurance carrier canceled the station’s insurance. The station went off the air.
Then, the Colorado Supreme Court, in a 4/3 decision, reversed the state court judge, amd ruled Trump could not be on the Colorado ballot, but the Court stayed implementation of the order, to give Trump a chance to appeal to the US Supreme Court. The Colorado Supreme Court was inundated with death threats.
Already, the New York state judge presiding over the civil action against Trump’s businesses, and the judge’s law clerk, and their families, were inundated with death threats.
As were election officials and courts in other states inundated with death threats over 14/3.
The Georgia state prosecutor and her legal team producing Trump under Georgia’s RICO statute were inundated with death threats.
Yesterday, bomb threats were made against many state governments, which were perceived to oppose Trump.
I think anyone who backs Trump is insane. I think anyone who backs Biden is insane.
And there’s the rub. Insane people are not legally responsible for their actions.
The further rub is, because they are insane, insane people cannot be reasoned with.
The further rub is, it’s worse than insane. It’s demonic..
So, what’s the solution?
If I were the U.S. President, I would declassify everything the U.S. Government has about ETs, UFOs, etc.. I would give all of it to the news media and social media.
That would fuck up everything and perhaps would made a difference.
Or perhaps not.
This morning, January 6, I added to my comment above.
Sloan Bashinsky
Today is January 6.
Yesterday, the US Supreme Court, containing 3 justices appointed by Donald Trump, agreed to hear the Colorado Supreme Court Amendment 14, Section 3 appeal. There are 9 justices, 6 are conservatives, 3 are liberals. it will be interesting to his former law clerk to a United States District Court Judge to see how the 9 justices deal with 14/3, see below, knowing if they rule against Trump, their and their families’ lives will be at grave risk.
14/3 was passed to prevent leaders of the Confederacy from holding public office.
"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."
While all of that was going on:

If you insist on making that silly argument, I lived much of my adult life in Ukraine. I speak Russian and a passable version of Ukrainian, although I am in no part Russian or Ukrainian, nor am I related by blood or marriage to a Russian or Ukrainian.
Sloan Bashinsky
If you lived in Ukraine during the current Russian invasion, I’m interested in your assessment of Ukraine and Russia today.
A fellow living in Ukraine watched a podcast we did about the most recent Russian invasion of Ukraine and Vladimir Putin (we were banned from Russia and Belarus), and emailed my tech buddy, who makes the podcasts possible. Without telling me, my tech buddy used his money and his contacts from prior work he had done to get the man in Ukraine and his girlfriend and his grandmother and 13 more Jews and 6 Christians into a UN refugee camp on the Polish border, and the Jews were accepted by Israel and flown there for free by either the UN or Israel, and the Christians were accepted by the Czech Republic and were flown there for free. I learned of that via email from the Ukrainian man, who said a Russian rocket had killed his mother in Ukraine, and all of them, the 21, were friends and stayed in Kiev sewers at night, which were safer from Russian rockets than the Kiev bomb shelters.
When I see Caitlin sometimes blame President Biden and the Ukraine President for what Russia is dong in Ukraine, I wonder if she needs a brain transplant.
Back in October, Australian voters decisively rejected a proposal to recognize Indigenous people in the constitution, in a major setback to the country's efforts for reconciliation with its First Peoples. That’s Caitlin’s country. I did not follow her back then, and I wonder if she tore into that?
Feral Finster
How many red herrings and irrelevant assertions and arguments by association can you pack in one paragraph?
Sloan Bashinsky
How many angels can dance on the head of a needle? :-)
For weeks now I have watched Caitlin and her fans and Chris Hedges and his fans give Hamas and Islam unlimited free passes while blaming everything going on in Gaza on Israel, when it’s crystal clear to anyone with half a brain that what’s going on in Gaza is what Hamas hoped would go on in Gaza after the October 7 attack. Hamas would have been really disappointed if Israel had not taken the October 7 bait.
So, if you and others here and Caitlin wish to continue thinking like half-brain people, that’s what Hamas is doing, and Israel is doing, and President Biden is doing, and a lot of people in America are doing with respect to Palestine, and with respect to Ukraine, and with respect to something far bigger and potentially terrible looming in America, centered around Donald Trump, whose base wants Israel to turn Gaza and Islam into a giant wasteland.
Feral Finster
Pretty rich that you insist that only those who live in Ukraine are entitled to judge it, but you blame Australia in general the way you think they should, and blame Caity in particular, without knowing how she came down.
Basically,.your beef boils down to the fact that we're not knee-jerk Team D tribalists.
Sloan Bashinsky
I said only people living in Ukraine can be experts on Ukraine. So, if you wish to learn about Ukraine, talk with someone living there, like I did. :-). I have been to Australia, and I saw up close and personal the effect white Australians and their brand of Christianity had on aborigines. Much the same happened to the real Americans after the sailing ships arrived. I have followed Caitlin’s occasional peeps about Ukraine. I think she should go live there a while and experience a year of Russian rocket attacks and see for herself what’s going on in Ukraine.
Feral Finster
So you visited Australia and that makes you qualified to pass judgment on Australia in general and Caity in particular. (I won't judge you based in Alabama, don't worry.) And I suppose you also are an expert on Donbass because you talked to a Ukrainian and got sucked into their ethnic beef because Team D.I lived there and I don't have an ethnic dog in the fight. But you wouldn't like what I have to say. Because I don't argue for Team D.Sloan BashinskyI never talked with anyone about Donbass, but I think I recall you, or someone at Caitlin’s forum, said a little about it a while back. I suppose that’s good enough reason for Russia to be sending Iranian rockets into Kiev and other Ukraine cities. The way you and Caitlin think reminds me of the way Donald Trump and MAGAs think.Last fall, Australia passed judgment on itself when it rejected an amendment to its constitution to recognize its indigenous people. I’d love to hear Caitlin’s thoughts about that, because she is an expert on Australia, which I admit I am not, but I did spend some time there, and did see plenty to remind me of the way the early colonists and their descendants treated the aborigines in America, and the African slaves they brought to America.
I see plenty of that in Alabama, which is a Trump and MAGA stronghold. The South is rising again in America, and Donald Trump is the white supremacists’s Führer.
Australia rejects constitutional reform to recognise Indigenous peopleFeral FinsterNo, you passed judgment on Caity because Australia voted the way it did.And Ukraine has been shelling Donbass since 2014.You squirm like a cornered rodent, but you corner yourself because you are a partisan hack, and not even a very clever one.Sloan BashinskyAustralia passed judgment on itself, and since Caitlin is Australian, I would like to know what she said about that. Meanwhile, this from Aljazeer looks like ethnic cleansing to me, after perhaps a wee bit of genocide like what happened to the real Americans.https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/10/14/australia-rejects-constitutional-reform-to-recognise-indigenous-people
