The pro-Ukraine side simultaneously claims: “Ukraine has faced the largest scale attack by Russia: 800 drones and more than ten missiles. Kyiv is engulfed in flames” (Image 2 – Video 1), while also claiming “Over 800 drones and 13 missiles (including 4 ballistic missiles) have been shot down” (Image 2). This is contradictory. Additionally, Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said her office was hit (Images 1 & 3 – Video 2).
Many on the right and far-right detest Farage as a traitor and betrayer of the cause – but I doubt many know his plans to switch back-on this pathway of highly dubious legal immigration. Let’s face it, any policy the government decrees to be acceptable – becomes legal. The hypocrisy of Farage – that great friend of the betrayer of the left George Galloway – is only a drop in the ocean of the problems the UK has got. If you have access to a TV, computer screen, and/or a streaming service, you can regale yourself with the utter mess the UK has become via the (unintentionally) hilarious footage covering the Conference of Reform UK. This looks like a cross between X Factor, Stars in Their Eyes, and Blind Date. If you happen to have lived through any of these Crimes Against Humanity – you will probably “whince” as a form of Pavlovian conditioning.
Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Participates in Commemorations Marking 80th Anniversary of Victory in Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and World Anti-Fascist War
Longtime LGBTQ organizer Scot Nakagawa has been fighting white nationalist movements for over 30 years, now as a senior partner at ChangeLab, a think tank on racial justice. Says Nakagawa, “We have to remember that even racist white gay men are still very vulnerable to discrimination” because they’re gay. “When one is under attack”—not by phantom Muslims, but by real, neighborhood gaybashers—“one picks up whatever shields one can,” even shields like racism that will not fight the true threat. In Donovan’s writing, it’s clear that what he’s terrified of most is “weakness,” especially male weakness. (He notes that he feels “disgusting” if he doesn’t train in a gym “for more than a few days.”) It doesn’t take a psychoanalyst to guess that, at bottom, he feels profoundly weak and vulnerable. O’Meara, for his part, fears that he will be destroyed by African-American and Jewish “rot” and pollution. It doesn’t take a psychoanalyst to guess that he feels dirty, and at risk of decaying from within.
Rather than simply writing off the gay men who may be attracted to white nationalism, Nakagawa says: “It is really important to think about who those people are, and to try to reach out to them. Which means having compassion for them, as difficult as that may be.” Nakagawa feels that the left has too often behaved as though racism and sexism are primarily matters of personal character, rather than deep social structures that elites—the 1 percent—use to consolidate their power.
“It’s a bad choice to imagine that all these men are incredibly rich,” he adds. Rather than demonizing men who may long for a strong brotherhood to protect them in a society that is increasingly unsafe and un-nourishing for all of us, we should counter-organize among them and have the searching and committed conversations about racism and sexism that have too often eluded the gay community. In this time of great danger for both LGBTQ people and the entire country, the only real way to fight fascism is to offer a competing vision, for a society that will meet everyone’s needs rather than, as Donovan would have it, the needs of “the wolves” who seek to assert “dominance and control.” For at the end of the day, none of us is a wolf—or to say it another way, even wolves are vulnerable.
The history is perhaps not so clear-cut as above – as when the UK controlled Palestine between 1917-1947 – British troops were called upon to keep the warring Muslims and Zionists apart. This meant that both sides viewed the UK as an enemy – and a friend – depending upon what was happening. Zionists, for instance, carried-out some the most hideous terrorist attacks upon British citizens and military – as did the various Arab factions. Indeed, even today, some of the Palestinian factions fighting in and around Gaza – still celebrate an ambush (and massacre) of British soldiers which occurred in 1936 – and which is believed to have been encouraged by Adolf Hitler (a man who had very good relations with the Mufti of Palestine). Not only did certain German Jews (Zionists) in Palestine develop very a good Hitlerite relationship – but they did this in parallel (and in distinction to) the good relations the Arabs already possessed! Hitler, at least in the years prior to WWII, held all the cards in Gaza, and was the puppet-master pulling all the anti-British strings.
Of course, the West does not recognise the Yemeni government (which overthrew the Western-backed Yemeni government in 2014 on the grounds that its support for Israel (and the West) contradicted the will of the Yemeni people. The old puppet Yemeni government is currently living in luxurious five star hotels in London. It is interesting that in 2014, the Obama Administration immediately recognised the Neo-Nazi Maidan regime in Ukraine just after the US brought it (illegally) to power. Neo-Nazi Ukraine, of course, is friendly with Israel – whereas the left-leaning Yemeni government is not. Furthermore, as a means to racially diminish the Yemeni government, the West continuously refers to it merely as the “Houthi” government – a habit followed by the PRC media. The US, UK, and EU fund and arm Israel, and permit Israel to break International Law as a means to pursue its foreign policies (essentially genocide and murder). Lastly, Jeffrey Epstein was part and parcel of this corrupt method – but one which included the sexual abuse of children by the rich and high-ranking politicians. It is clear that if Trump had made his pro-Zionist feelings clear leading up to the election – no so many brain-dead Nazis would have voted for him! No wonder he has deny no such Epstein List exists!
