The Return Of Colonialism

Today In Real Estate: Start A War, Kill Your Neighbors & Steal Their Land

Uri Tzafon’s informal, oft-repeated motto is “occupation, expulsion, settlement.” It has advanced the idea that Israel must move its northern border to the Litani River—which bisects Lebanon about 15 miles north of the current Israeli boundary—and occupy a depopulated southern Lebanon, comprising some 10% of Lebanon’s total territory.

That idea is now a “broad and troubling consensus” in Israel, as the journalist Moshe Gilad wrote in Haaretz on April 9th. In early March, soon after Hezbollah launched attacks on Israel in response to the joint US and Israel war on Iran, Israeli public figures began calling for the occupation and depopulation of southern Lebanon — a claim repeated again and again by mainstream Israeli media personalities. Retired military leaders and politicians also voiced their support, and members of Knesset soon joined the call for occupation. On April 7th, 20 members of Knesset (MKs) wrote to the Israeli cabinet advocating for “occupation and full control” of southern Lebanon alongside “the complete displacement of the population.” One poll found that 62% of Israelis now support the idea of occupying all of Lebanon south of the Litani River.

62% of them seem nice.
These aspirations are being translated into policy: On March 24th, Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that the military would control southern Lebanon up to the Litani, and prevent the return of hundreds of thousands of residents. A week later, he said that all homes near the border would be destroyed, “like in Rafah and Beit Hanoun,” in order “to permanently remove border-adjacent threats.” Israel has now issued evacuation orders for about 15% of Lebanon’s territory, part of its campaign to ethnically cleanse the southern part of the country, specifically of Shiite Muslims. (Hezbollah is a Shiite organization.) “Every home in southern Lebanon, the Shiite homes, are control command centers, they hold weapon supplies, they have tunnels going beneath them,” Israeli military spokesperson Doron Spielman recently said, in comments chillingly reminiscent of Israel’s justification for the destruction of Gaza. Over a million people have already been displaced from southern Lebanon, and over 2,000 people have been killed, with nearly 6,000 injured.
Some call it gentrification, some call it "ethnic cleansing".

Not A Delusion, But A Calculation

He is never alone.

In the heart of the Oval Office, President Trump carries the weight of a nation on his shoulders.
Every decision he makes, every battle he fights, is met with fierce resistance from those who
wish to see America fall. The threats are relentless—seen and unseen, political and personal.
But what his enemies fail to realize is that he is not without protection.

Surrounding him, standing sight unseen, is a force more powerful than any earthly agency.
These warriors—silent, watchful, unwavering—are the true Secret Service. Armed with
the swords of Liberty, Truth, and Justice, they keep their vigil, shielding him from the darkness
that seeks to consume the land he swore to defend.

Millions pray for him. Millions pray for America. And those prayers are not in vain.
The battle for the soul of a nation rages on, but the Commander-in-Chief does not stand alone.

'Nother one of them substack "think pieces".

Trump hates Pope Leo because he sees himself as the real vicar of Christ

The president is trying to rebuild Christianity in his own image, but the first American pope is standing in the way

Into this vacuum stepped Donald Trump in 2015. The offer was explicit. “Christianity is under tremendous siege,” he told a heavily Evangelical crowd in Iowa that year. “We are getting less and less and less powerful in terms of a religion, and in terms of a force. If I’m there, you’re going to have plenty of power. You don’t need anybody else.” It was a Nietzschean Christian appeal to power rather than a show of humble faith. Together, Trump promised, we will seize control of the kingdoms of this world—an almost perfect recapitulation of Satan’s offer to Jesus in Matthew 4.
A few subheads:

Trump as the leader of reactionary Christians’ war on modernity

Remaking America through Trump Christianity

Christian nationalism is actually Evangelical supremacism

Sounds like an outraged Catholic. Many links to blasphemous fun, however, including the image. There's more ludicrous claptrap there than you can stand ("You'll plotz w/ laughter!") including Americana Art & Sacred Art.

This Could Be It

Critical Atlantic current significantly more likely to collapse than thought

Scientists say finding is ‘very concerning’ as collapse would be catastrophic for Europe, Africa and the Americas

The Amoc is a major part of the global climate system and brings sun-warmed tropical water to Europe and the Arctic, where it cools and sinks to form a deep return current. A collapse would shift the tropical rainfall belt on which many millions of people rely to grow their food, plunge western Europe into extreme cold winters and summer droughts, and add 50-100cm to already rising sea levels around the Atlantic.

[...]

Prof Stefan Rahmstorf, at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany, said: “This is an important and very concerning result. It shows that the ‘pessimistic’ models, which show a strong weakening of the Amoc by 2100, are, unfortunately, the realistic ones, in that they agree better with observational data.”

Soon the planet won't be able to support this world of shit & pain you fools made for yourselves. Not soon enough for me, however. If only I could be there to see you all deservedly freeze &/or drown because of your foolishness. Well, I'll piss on your graves from my grave. Except there won't be any graves, just skeletons frozen in the ice. Ha ha ha from The Coast where people can live. No climate refugees needed!

Good Taste Triumphs Again

Yoy needn't listen. I didn't, & it's only cross-sportin' Karoline flapping her gums & showing the one rendering.Another original idea; L'Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile w/ a winged, "gold" "Lady Liberty" & two "gold" eagles slapped on top, added "gold" tat & four "gold" lions at the base. Lions? What th'? This isn't Britain.
Perhaps a more recent inspiration: The Arch of Triumph in Pyongyang, completed in 1982, is modeled on the Arc de Triomphe and is slightly taller at 60 m (197 ft). No winged demons atop it 'though, nor lions. And his War On Iran certainly won't end in triumph, if it ever ends. No arches for losers!!

The only memory of Trump's existence should be a memorial to all those whose blood is on his fat, bruised hands.

Seems Like A More Immediate Threat Than Iran ...

... So When Does The Bombing Start, War Prez?

This is apparently what Trump & his loser cronies want.
(Fine w/ me, as long as it happens before the midterms.)
Waiting for the Sec'y. of "War" to open his drunken yap. Maybe Lumpy will just surrender to Pooty-Poot.

The Soviets were right: People like this should be rounded up like the brain-dead cattle they are & placed in psychiatric institutions until they are connected to reality. Thinking electroconvulsive therapy to start their brains working again. Or just the torture these people deserve. Bring back the rack!!

All-American Boy W/ Cheek of Bronze

Nothing more American than bestial stupidity & ignorance.
Why doesn't he get a Diet Coke® enema & really blow that colon out? Did he use Diet Coke® to kill the lawn in the Rose Garden?

Sure he's a cretinous buffoon, but he "feels All-American" to some crank named Britta Miller. Guess the Demonrats just don't eat & drink enough poisonous extrusions of corporate swill to be "real Americans". And of course that was Trump as a doctor, not as Jesus. He said so, & they swallowed it.

In the same vein:

President, Extremely Normal Brain-Wise: Pope Weak On Crime, Also I’m Dr. Jesus Christ

Title from this classic.

Do Or Don't?

Just asking, but doesn't slapping the general prohibition sign, also known informally as the no symbol, "do not" sign, nay, interdictory circle, and the prohibited symbol on the phrase "Don't Be Dumb" make it a double negative, implying that ASAP Rocky* actually wants you stupid?

NAY!

Why is it too much for the cretins to do their fucking jobs & do them right?
That is all.

How To Do It, Right

No foolish consistency here:
Press Watch advises The NYT on better ways to tell the story of Lumpy's derangement, dementia, delusion & dipshittery.
As I wrote last week, once a news organization acknowledges that the president is – or even may be – insane, they are also acknowledging that this is an extremely dangerous situation. That obliges them to start aggressively and constantly reporting on what can be done about it – even if there appears to be no political will to do so at the moment. It’s an imperative.

What we also need – as I begged for shortly before the election, when it really could have done some good – is a “Cronkite moment,” where trusted voices in news turn to the camera, or the internet, and declare that Trump is self-evidently unfit for office.

And in the meantime, every incremental news story about something Trump does or says that is abnormal – which is almost everything he does or says – ought to be accompanied by a statement about his mental instability.

Because that is really what explains Trump. Most immediately, it explains why we’re at war, and why he makes it worse and worse all the time.

"Only The Fake News ..."

Yes, only the "fake news", & all the Jesus Freak weirdoes thought it was s'posed to be Hay-soos & threw shitfits. A moron & his morons.

"I Have In My Hand A List Of 250 Million Americans Who Are Known Domestic Terrorists ..."

Rounding up extremists who are hostile to tradition
Sensing a theme. Are you enough of an outspoken loudmouth to be on bug-eyed buffoon Patel's list? I hope I am.
The new center and funding boost represent the implementation of Trump’s National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7), the sweeping federal order I’ve been covering since it was signed last September.

Now, Trump’s budget request reveals, the FBI runs a dedicated “NSPM-7 Joint Mission Center”; with personnel from 10 federal agencies, it is busy “proactively” identifying domestic terrorists motivated by any of the following beliefs:

  • “anti-Americanism,”

  • “anti-capitalism,”

  • “anti-Christianity,”

  • “support for the overthrow of the U.S. Government,”

  • “extremism on migration,”

  • extremism on “race,”

  • extremism on “gender,”

  • “Hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family,”

  • Hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on “religion,” and

  • Hostility towards those who hold traditional views on “morality.”

How "hostile" are you? And who decides what exactly are "extreme" & "traditional"?
