Discussion on  News from Antiwar.com    17 comments US, NATO Give Russia 60 Days to Comply With Nuclear Treaty Jeffrey Fein     Dr.Roosenpenis    20 hours ago Removed "the Ziocon approach" The Ziocons as you call them, have always wanted the destruction of Russia because, unlike the Western "liberal democracies", Russia is one country they have never been able to subvert and control. Despite which, they keep trying. I expect that at some point the Ziocons, in their zeal, will overreach, and the Russians will be compelled to neutraiize the threat. I am required to use a bit of coded language here -- specifically "Ziocon" -- to avoid "moderation". I trust that the reader will have no difficulty with the decoding.

Moderated from the Philadelphia inquirer's comments to: Marc Lamont Hill: I’m sorry my word choices caused harm | Opinion Posted: December 1, 2018 - 12:05 PM The killer, thieving, lying Zionists intended from day one to take all of Palestine, "disappear" the Palestinians, and "deal with" anyone who got in their way.   This is the pattern of five-thousand years which has always brought reaction and grief for the Jews. In the post-Holocaust era it has been the height of political incorrectness to notice the pattern, and suggest that Jewish misbehavior was the source of anti-Jewish "persecution" -- blowback really -- down the ages.  Now the internet has opened a gap in the Zionist propaganda, and the truth has flowed out for all the world to see. In full view of the world we see killer Zionists sitting on sofas on a hill overlooking Gaza watching the mass slaughter, and celebrating. This is the nature of the Jewish power elite. And...

Here's one for the archives: http://www.unz.com/article/the-assassination-of-donald-trump/ The Assassination of Donald Trump Send to Kindle OK … here’s a question for you. Let’s assume, strictly for the purposes of argument, that Donald Trump is literally Hitler, or at least  a proto-Hitlerian fascist , like the neoliberal ruling classes and the corporate media have been saying he is. And let’s go ahead and also assume that he’s a treasonous Russian intelligence asset working in league with Vladimir Putin to destroy the very fabric of Western democracy, and that he isn’t even legitimately President, because he stole the election from Hillary Clinton with all those Russian bots and Facebook posts, and all that other stuff they’ve been accusing him of, which would make him the most monstrously evil villain in the history of monstrously evil villains, not to mention an existential threat to the nation, and Americans, and … well, the rest of humanity. And ...

Tucker, everyone in this business is screwing up. The GOP is giving Blasey Ford a free pass. Everyone is accepting the notion that Kavanaugh is credibly, allegedly, (and consequently, probably) guilty, and then reinforcing that presumption of guilt by going on the defensive.  Meanwhile the Democrats are starting from the presumption of guilt and the Republicans are letting them get away with it. This can be turned around. Someone needs to grow a set and do the obvious: GO ON THE OFFENSIVE.  Start with the assumption that Blasey Ford is GUILTY.  Assume that she is a "fabricator".  Assume that her "sexual assault" narrative is a complete and monstrous slanderous fiction, a deliberate and well-crafted campaign aimed at intentionally destroying Kavanaugh's life and reputation.  She wasn't assaulted at all. Exactly the opposite.  It is she who is assaulting Kavanaugh, In a situation like this, where two stories conflict, one fact stands out as indisputable: ...

"Imagine a Syria with a dictator that's been assisinated, a re-supplied rebel insurgency backed by America and Turkey's airforce, constant bombing raids on Syria's military infrastructure from Israel and missiles delivered from destroyers on key Syrian military installations." Imagine an Israel obliterated by a couple dozen Russian nukes. Imagine Uncle Sam standing there with his dick in his hand, unable to do anything, because the entire Russian nuke forces are on hair-trigger alert. Then watch as the world -- and the US,... eventually -- heaves a sigh of relief because the cancer at the heart of the till then unending violence in the Mideast has been burned out. This is precisely how both the Zionist subversion of the US govt by AIPAC and the Neocons, and the "problem" in the Mideast will play out -- the Zionists are working towards Israel's destruction even as we speak. Sometime in the next 20 years. When the Israelis/Zionists succeed in...

From Comments to " Anti-Israelism and Anti-Semitism: The Invidious Conflation" 9/2/2018 Comment by ATM If the same logic were applied uniformly and if Nazi Gernany still existed we would be prevented from criticizing their policies, because criticizing the Nazi government would be racist against the Arian race. And so we are cooped into enabling fascist ideology which is not Israel, Judaism, or Zionism but extreme right nationalism moving in the direction of fascism, hiding behind labels that should not protect it." And my response: Exactly, and here's a bit of edgy irony. We hear the term anti-Semitism and anti-Semite bandied about promiscuously by people who declare with puffed-up moral outrage that ***THEY*** are not anti-Semites. Fine. But isn't it at least a little bit presumptuous to have someone who declares most strenuously that they are not one of ***THEM*** to be the authority on the nature of ***THEM*** -- to control the definit...

From Comments to " Anti-Israelism and Anti-Semitism: The Invidious Conflation" 9/2/2018 Comment by Martial " Anti-Black racism is that set of ideas stemming from the notion that having Black skin and being of subSaharan African descent suits one to slavery; Jewbaiting is that set of ideas stemming from the notion that being Jewish or having Jewish ancestors suits one to being slaughtered. The latter really starts with the Christ killer charge and associated anti-Jewish teachings. Do you agree that uttering the Christ killer charge is a murderous thing to do?" My response: No, I do not agree. There is sufficient distance between the utterance and any causative connection to any violence against anyone who is Jewish. It's freedom of speech. Freedom of expressing what you feel. Hatred is a real and genuine human passion, and you don't eliminate it from reality by suppressing its expression. And if a feeling of hatred stems from outrage at offens...
