SIN SOLDIERS

 


 
"If Trump was letting these horrible things happen, we’d feel outraged and upset. We might even feel obliged to get up and go protest the things he is doing, which as we all know can often cause us to miss brunch."

The Deleterious Dollar?

 

 "How much does the US benefit from printing the global reserve currency? An economist calculated that US average daily income would fall by 27-57% if the dollar lost its "exorbitant privilege". Ben Norton explains how wealthy investors not only in North America but around the world hold much of their wealth in the dollar."

I've been around for over half a century. The future has never looked so bleak.

Interesting times, indeed.

Cold War 2: US officials call to overthrow China's gov't, expand military budget to $1.4 trillion

(Geopolitical Economy Report on YouTube)

"A major Congress member and top former Trump administration official published an article calling to overthrow China's government. They boasted that the US is waging a new cold war and must win it, while proposing a military budget of $1.4 trillion per year. Ben Norton debunks the deceptions of the warmongers in Washington."

Power-hungry homicidal maniacs are playing war games that could literally blow everything up.

Sadly, as we enter the planet's 6th Extinction Event, the only animal avoiding the endangered species list is the War Hawk, and they're the worst pestilence that's ever threatened life on Earth.

Fire Weather: Climate Choas...

 

Hey, Duncler!

Fire weather: climate chaos is already here
(The Chris Hedges Report on YouTube)

"Few places illustrate the destructive cycle of fossil fuel-driven climate change as well as Alberta, Canada. Home to the tar sands boom, the province's remote north has also become a site of some of the worst climate disasters in recorded history—like the 2016 Fort McMurray Fire, which swallowed up 1.5 million acres and burned for three months. John Vaillant, author of Fire Weather: A True Story from a Hotter World, joins The Chris Hedges Report to discuss the Fort McMurray Fire, the tar sands industry responsible for the conditions that produced it, and the tinderbox world Big Oil has made in its all-consuming pursuit of profit."

#10 #2's ON GEORGE!

 

(Jimmy Dore & Due Dissidence Hosts on YouTube)


"British firebrand, truth-teller and Palestinian rights supporter George Galloway has won a by-election in the Rochdale district in Manchester, and the United Kingdom elite is flipping out. Even Prime Minister Rishi Sunak felt compelled to speak out against Galloway, who announced in his victory speech, “This is for Gaza!

Jimmy and Due Dissidence hosts Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss discuss just how much the UK establishment detests Galloway."

I enjoyed this discussion but the clips of Galloway's podcast and the statements of The Prime Minister were telling, and damning. Go Galloway!
