Observation/Rant: The Blob

I was listening to Daniel Davis and Ben Hodges, last night. There’s a point where Hodges calls Russians, “animals.” Davis doesn’t even pushback! It’s happened before, when Davis was on a radio show and the host used an ethnic slur when referring to Chinese people. I commented on that one, about the host being racist, as no one else had. This time I didn’t, as others were calling him out on it. That and I really wanted to cuss because it was Hodges. I hate biting my tongue, sometimes, because people like Hodges deserve my wrath!

It shows that despite some people not being fooled by “Russiagate,” they’re still fooled by “Chinagate.” Another thing that it shows is how the foreign policy establishment (AKA The Blob) thinks, including Davis (don’t forget that he’s with Defense Priorities). It all stinks of racism to me!

The racist “Asiatic horde” trope

I still haven’t forgotten the articles like this one during Russiagate (the one that I linked to is by a Ukrainian-born Italian). I had a subscription to either the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal and cancelled it after Alexander of The Duran mentioned a similar article.

The Man Behind Trump’s VP Pick: It’s Worse Than You Think

While J.D. Vance has his own controversies, his close connection to billionaire Peter Thiel, who is poised to have unprecedented influence in a new Trump administration, should deeply unsettle every American who cares about freedom, privacy and reining in the surveillance state.

The ‘Israel Lobby’ Works for the US Military Industrial Complex

Since publication of John Mearsheimer’s and Stephen Walt’s ‘The Israel Lobby’ in 2007, superior public relations has served as the main explanation for the outsized influence that the nation of Israel holds over American politicians. In that telling, AIPAC (American-Israel Public Affairs Committee) and other supporters of Israel built a sophisticated and far-reaching public relations machine that promotes US politicians who support Israel and punishes those who don’t.

Trump Sold-Out His Base to Shovel $95 Billion to Ukraine and Israel

America last. America last. That’s all this is. America last, every single day. – Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene

The man who is most responsible for the $95 billion giveaway to Ukraine and Israel, is the same guy who pretends to oppose America’s “wasteful” foreign wars. Donald Trump. It was Trump who consulted with Speaker Mike Johnson about the contents of the Ukraine aid package, just as it was Trump who concocted the idea of issuing loans instead of dispersing the standard welfare handout. It was also Trump who said:

Tulsi Gabbard is running for Opportunist-in-Chief

Tulsi Gabbard is running for Opportunist-in-Chief

But what’s disappointing about her recent Maga makeover is that she’s abandoned a lot of the positive portions of the Sanders agenda she once espoused, policies designed to help working people: higher wages, better health care, and stronger unions (she got a 100 per cent voting score as a congressperson from the AFL-CIO). Instead, she now dismisses all aspects of Bidenomics as “fascism” and plays up the culture wars.
