next to the plan to escort oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, it's the stupidest thing imaginable: and we are poised to do exactly that. Things are bad, bad in every possible way, and it's about to get worse.

One of the instances in which it is actually emphatically true that by stifling left-liberal criticism of Israel on a liberal basis you just leave open room for nutjobs to do it and fill the space instead

Had his name removed from NR's masthead, was taken off of dozens of panels and barred from holding talks at half a dozen universities, and was declared persona non grata but a not-insubstantial amount of the American commentariat for saying "two states" was a mirage for a actually existing one state

Kara Swishers book on AOL got her labeled an expert in like 1998 and if you read that book it's one big tongue bath for Steve Case. SHE WAS A STYLE AND RETAIL REPORTER FOR WAPO. And here we are 200 years later and she's still considered an expert. Lol.

Brian McGinnis' wife has
NOT been allowed to see him in the hospital.
He is currently awaiting surgery for severe injuries.
Legal counsel has also been denied access.
A Marine veteran.
A firefighter.
A father of four.
And his family still cannot see him.

so apparently Brian McGinnis has been denied access to both his family and legal representation since a sitting senator broke his arm

A key thing about Renewables is that they are not comparable at all to the choke hold that Petrostates have: far more diverse supply chains, and infrastructure are far more resilient to shocks and economic warfare from a hostile Electrostate. You can't turn off the sun or wind faucet.

Drifting into a One-State Reality: Active Accelerators and Possible Halts | INSS Click here to download the full Memorandum

Interesting long-form memorandum from an Israeli think tank which predicts that as Israel's one-state (apartheidst) reality further coheres and concretizes, the most likely pathways almost all end with the end of the Jewish state.

The Axis of Chaos The U.S.-Israeli war on Iran is sowing the seeds for state collapse and unending violence across the region.

"For all their homilies about nation-building, US neocons who advocated for regime change wars in Afghanistan, Iraq & Libya did not shy away from nation-breaking. Similarly, it’s evident Israel's goal is less regime change than state collapse." New from @alfatau.bsky.social at @inthesetimes.com.

These are the modern General Ripper types, from Dr. Strangelove: connected to Qanon conspiracies, Oliver North of Iran-Contra infamy, etc. Vallely in particular was co-author of the bat-shit insane From PSYOP To Mind War and I think, was featured in the famous Men Who Stare At Goats book/film.
