Way worse than a Nazi giving an applause in Canada... inviting a mass murderer to the country is just disgusting

Emanuel Pastreich, you are indeed a courageous man saying this. Oh yes, Netanyahu is full of nefarious intent. But really the responsibility always rests on the people because they give him power. The idea of authority must come to an end. Nobody has authority over anyone else, only over themselves and that is why we have to wean ourselves off politics. The fair alternative is that everyone gets a say and this easy to do now as we are in the digital age. The old systems are not only irrelevant, they impose a huge danger to all living beings because one nasty man can wreak havoc over everyone. This must never be allowed to happen. It's only our acquiescence that enables it. We need to challenge ourselves and get through this antiquated thinking of authority over others. May only good come upon you, thank you for speaking the truth.

I am wearing a USS Liberty commemorative shirt today as I do every year. I just sent a message to "American Legion" - shame on them. How dare they collect money to support veterans? F unbelievable...

To stop the madness you'd have to arrest the entire Israeli government as well as the neoconservative nutcases controlling US foreign policy and all the spook commentators working for state-run mainstream media news.

And I didn't even mention, the Zionist tech billionaires and the gangster MIC.

When you really look hard at why some problems like genocide occur over and over again throughout history, vengeance is quite often the motive. Why vengeance is such a persistent paradigm in psychopathic human behavior leads to culture, philosophy, and of course Religion. If the text has story after story of divine "vengeance" one has to ask then what does it do to the repetitive readers of such texts ?

Emanuel- you are 100%, totally correct in your commentary. That the US CON gress would invite a mass murderer, a repeat offender of innumerable crimes against humanity and international law and a man who has seen to the slaughter of 15,000 children; more than ALL of the wars and killings in this century would, be welcome at the Nation's Capitol is outrageous and a repugnancy that NO American citizen should tolerate. It is a complete and utter outrage!

It's evident that our corrupt political elite aims to alter Western demographics. There is a need for political renewal and mechanisms to prevent the entrenchment of power, ensuring that leaders remain accountable to the public. Viktor Orban said this just a few days ago: 'If Donald Trump wins, (Pierre Poilievre is elected in Canada!), and successful European elections are held, we can build a pan-Western transatlantic peace coalition.'

Trump may be less likely to wage war with Russia, but I do not see much difference. Orban is better than many, but not a reformer either. I believe we must take a strong stand, or we are basically finished. Might as well get ready to move into a FEMA camp. Electing Trump will do nothing positive.

Thank you for standing up to the Trumpers. I don't know what it'll take for people to realize - there's no difference between either party - it's merely a race regarding who can get their greedy little hands on the coffers next. It's sad people are so ignorant.

Tell someone they have cancer and they'll spend weeks on end doing research and getting second opinions. And yet, they'll turn on the TV and believe everything they see and hear. Can you say the imbecilic ladies on The View? It's truly unfathomable. A lazy mans way of learning.

Although I surely don't advocate the WEF wanting to rid the planet of useless eaters, I certainly can see their point. I haven't watched TV in decades and don't even own one. I don't vote, never have nor ever will. I refuse to support and enable the corruption. I'm neither Republican or Democrat but follow politics religiously simply to keep track of the unrelenting egregious and diabolical subterfuge.

If you think Bidens stance on Israel is bad, Trumps is even worse. However RFK Jr is far worse than both men, combined. It's refreshing to see someone stand up to the Israel Lobby and don't sell yourself short. I believe Israel's genocide and Trumps unyielding support for the lethal injections (his albatross) are going to be huge factors in November IF there even is an election. Look for them to ditch Biden perhaps at the convention and insert Hillary and John Kerry as a war time President of course.

I truly don't know how anyone could possibly take Trump seriously. Listen to the way he speaks, he has the intellect of a child. The hand gestures are even worse. I bet if you tied them to his sides he'd been entirely mute. Someone needs to show him those openings on the sides of his suits and explain they are called POCKETS!

That being said although he's a MORON he tapped into something no candidate in the history of this Country and perhaps the world has ever accomplished. The exploitation of stupidity, because he speaks their very language. Elections are all about the gimmick that sells.. Bush exploited the religious zealots and Obama exploited the blacks. But no one has ever managed to do what Trump has. Keep in mind he destroyed BOTH the Clinton AND Bush dynasties, that was quite a feat. The other side of this coin is the man walked out of the WH one billion dollars wealthier. Obama left with only 680 million so of course they want Trump back. He's a win-win for both.

as Thomas Mann wisely noted, "just because someone is insipid, does not mean he is not dangerous."

I'm almost 71, and I've been reading about the Middle East, Vietnam, and the Cold War since the mid-1960s. In my opinion, we've been fed a lot of lies about what was really happening, as the Church Commission revealed in the mid-1970s. Much later, in the 1990s, two books came out that proved we were fed complete and utter lies: 'Official Lies' by Thomas DiLorenzo and Stuart Ewen's 'PR! A Social History of Spin.' And yes, according to another Substacker, Israel is a clear and present danger:
