Great stuff. Bernie sort of showed himself in the exchange with RFK Jr. in his stress session with the Senate Committee looking at his appointment. Naomi Klein, author of Disaster Capitalism, seems to almost worship Bernie. Naomi used 9/11 as the case study tp illustrate the principles of disaster capitalism, but then pretended the disaster was caused by Islamic terrorists acting alone. She has yet to reckon with the fact that the event was manufactured by the Israel Lobby preparing public opinion for US wars for Israel directed at Muslim-majority countries.

Thanks! There is a lot we can say about 9.11. First and foremost, once the liberal class swallowed that unscientific and blatantly rigged up story, it was dead on arrival. It's legitimacy was infected fatally, granted it would take 25 years for the poison to work its was to the core. Regarding Israel's role in 9.11, we have still to face that tale. Much of it had to do with the fight between the military coup of December 2000 and the 9.11 events and media campaign. Although plans to use 9.11 to justify a series of Middle East wars was a part of the plan, I hold, just based on what I actually saw then, that there is another angle. The organized opposition to the Bush regime had reached a critical mass by August 2000 and Cheney and Ashcroft and others knew they had better do something fast or they might be deposed. That led them to turn to certain elements in Israel who were expert at this stuff and unafraid to do something so risky. I think they knew it would Ultimately fail, but that they could get a few good decades of power from it.

Cheney and Ashcroft? "Turn to certain elements in Israel?" What elements? Cheney was as Zionist as Trump. I think the focal point should be more the Clean Break/Project for a New American Century Zionist continuum, not some US, Israel distinction. As I see it by 2000 the New Pearl Harbor was already a go. As far as I am concerned you are throwing in a new red herring here, "The organized opposition to the Bush regime had reached a critical mass by August 2000." Critical mass?

Damn, Emanuel, I hate to slay the elephant in the room, but, reality check: Kissinger? Soros? Christ, Zyklon BLinken or Himmer Yellen or Goebbels Nuland.

These people have much in common, and alas, if you think Bernie is one of the nicer Supremacist Jews, then you are in for a complete let down.

Edward Bernays, all of the Jewish Billionaires and Their Eichmanns. This is the perversity of that klan, those fucking cigarette or coup hustlers, the same mad men coming from the Jewish traditions of cold eyes staring down death while talking a good lie, a good plan to get that bargain with the devil, but with a bit more Faustian pizzazz.

Lies, deceptions, evil, war is peace, and there is no love for humanity truly in the white Judaic supremacy "race."

You got Zelensky and Bibi, two variations on an Adolph Hitler theme. But oh, Bernie and his Mossad, oh Bernie and his genocide.

Hamas?

Fuck, the entire Jewish project in Palestine is Terrorism 101, a primer on murder-rape-deceit-theft-poisoning-starvation, and of course, rhetoric and endless Jews writing books and manuels on how to fuck the Goyim to the max.

Bernie has always been this fucking screaming, spitting, son-of-a-bitch.

Bernie is still begging for cash. The big phony sounds brave and boisterous when giving speeches to the

"down-and-out." However, when he's summoned by his national security state masters he morphs into an ass-licking supplicant. 😁

I wonder, if all three of his residences have solar panels made in China.🤑

Dear Emmanuel: You are right about Bernie Sanders being part of the capitalist-left. The majority of average american citizens are not aware that there are 2 types of left (The real left which is the radical left, the revolutionary marxist left, and the bourgeoise mainstream reformist left). Bernie Sanders, Alexandra Ocasio and others like them (who are funded by elites just like this article by Professor Michel Chosudowski says https://www.globalresearch.ca/manufacturing-dissent-the-anti-globalization-movement-is-funded-by-the-corporate-elites/21110 are part of the capitalist-left.

That's why i have evolved from a normal socialist leftist, toward a more radical ultra-leftist, anarchist-communist, the impossibilists leftists, and the left that claims that elections are scams (just like Bob Avakian from The Revolutionary Communist Party says here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCmgGAU9Y90

It is too bad that the majority of people in America and in the world do not go to the heart of the matter, to details in politics, in order to be aware who is an aunthentic revolutionary (Certainly Trump is not) and who is a real revolutionary leftist and a fake-leftist funded by elites.

The World Socialist Website is a great site http://www.wsws.org that has been exposing and writing articles about the capitalist-left. Libcom.org, leftcom.org are other great sites who in the spirit of Rosa Luxemburg, Karl Marx, CLR James, Maurice Brinton, Mariarosa dalla Costa, Ambalavaner Sivanandan, Martin Glaberman, Anton Pannekoek, Wildcat Germany, League of Revolutionary Black Workers, Anarchist Federation, Solidarity Federation, prole.info, Asian Youth Movements, Aufheben, Solidarity, the situationists, Mujeres Libres, Spanish CNT and others are loyal to the spirit of authentic organizations that are in favor of a real change which is really a violent overthrow of the dictatorship of the capitalist oligarchic class to be replaced by an emergency government of the workers and poor citizens. Bernie Sanders and the fake-left, the capitalist-left are not in favor of a violent revolution.

Bernie Sanders is a supporter of the capitalist oligarchic power structures that exist in USA. Under a Bernie Sanders government the poor will be poorer and the rich richer. That's why those progressive fake-leftist governments of Latin America like Claudia Shaubaum, Lula, Petro, Daniel Ortega are also false-leftist governments, bourgeoise reformist welfare governments, where the rich are richer and the poor poorer.

Even with Lopez OBrador the former Mexican president people in Mexico where migrating to USA, and Mexicans were still poor. Out of 130 million mexicans, 125 millions are extremely poor, only about 5 million mexicans live a normal life with decent food. Because Lopez Obrador and Claudia Shaubaum have the same ideology of Bernie Sanders and Alejandra Cortez. which is reformist social-democracy

It made some sense 25 years ago. It is suicide, or treason, today

MAGA and MIGA -- Make AmeriKKKa/Isra-Hell Great Again!

https://unlimitedhangout.com/2025/03/investigative-reports/the-dark-maga-gov-corp-technate-part-2/

In Part 1 of this series, we explored the political philosophies that have long been adopted and promoted by Elon Musk and Peter Thiel and considered the implications, given both men’s obvious influence on the Trump administration. Musk is a high-profile advocate of Technocracy, and Peter Thiel is an accelerationist neoreactionary who favours, in particular, the Dark Enlightenment. Before you read this article (Part 2), I urge you to familiarise yourself with the explanations of Technocracy and the NRx (the neoreactionary movement) provided in Part 1. Otherwise, many of the references here will lack context.

As we noted in Part 1, Thiel and Musk are part of the oligarchic class by virtue of being invited to join a network led by other oligarchs whose stratospheric wealth far surpasses that of the names published on the “richest people in the world” lists. Welcomed into their exclusive club, Thiel and Musk are made men. In Part 2, we will explore how the political philosophies and the associated economic theories of Thiel and Musk are shaping public policy. Keep in mind that these two men are far from alone in attempting to create an American gov-corp Technate.

Libertarian Technocrats?

Although they borrow some libertarian ideas, there is nothing truly “libertarian” about either technocrats or accelerationist neoreactionaries. Their convoluted theories, once applied, could not be more authoritarian, more anti-liberty. Just as it is an oxymoron to describe Musk as a “libertarian technocrat,” so is it absurd to think of Peter Thiel as an “anarcho-capitalist.” Yet propagandists persist in encouraging us to see them in these terms. Witness a 2014 article in The Atlantic titled “The Libertarian Capitalist’s Case for State Power and Making No Money.”

It is possible that people like Thiel and Musk self-identify as libertarians because they think “liberty” means freedom granted by — and to — the oligarchy.

In Part 1, we referenced the Venetian Republic. The Doge of Venice was the ruler of the banking, finance, and commercial empire of the Venetian Republic. That is to say, the Doge was given the liberty to rule by the oligarchs of the day. We might wonder if the naming of the Department of Government Efficiency (the DOGE) that Musk leads deliberately references the Venetian magistrate. Some say it does, while others suggest another possibility.

I have a lot of time free in my life in order to know and learn about how this evil world works. I have found out by a venezuelan-canadian ultra-leftist chavista anti-maduro friend of mine. That the government of Nicolas Maduro donated 500,000 thousand dollars to the Donald Trump electoral campaign. Maybe this is one of the main reasons of why Trump is not against the government of Nicolas Maduro who won the venezuelans with a massive fraud. Be aware that Maduro has been a destroyer of the Hugo Chavez radical policies, who didn't install a perfect workers-state in Venezuela, but (within the frameworks of this capitalist world) tried as much as he can to lead Venezuela toward a socialist workers paradise. But Nicolas Maduro is very different, he has totally betrayed the socialist efforts of Hugo Chavez and Maduro has really installed a neoliberal capitalist oligarchic state, just like any other capitalist neoliberal governments of most poor third world countries.

This is how the evil world works, if people were awake, people would really support the anarchism ideology, because anarchist thinkers, anarchist philosophers, anarchist historians are 100% correct in that all governments, all states of the whole world are mafia-cartels (left and right). And people should be aware and learn that governments were created by band of criminals and thieves thousands of years ago, in order to steal the wealth of the whole planet, just like governments of today (leftists and rightists) are doing
