Ah yes, just what democracy needed—one of the richest men alive handpicking U.S. politicians for their loyalty to a foreign state, funding them like they're Kickstarter projects, and then buying up the media to make sure we all clap on cue. Nothing to worry about here, folks. Just billionaires playing geopolitical puppet master while telling us it's all for 'freedom' and 'security.'

As always, original and insightful reporting by DropSite. Americans should get ready to watch what Ellison wants us to watch/hear/talk/think.

So there's an Epstein Island AND an Ellison Island?

PS: Let's hear it for Ireland, as she continues to support Palestinian rights, fights against zionism and reminds the US about what freedom, honor and morality look like! 🇮🇪💚

The hyperwealthy individuals who seek to shape our minds have a number of things in common. All of them are hypermaterialists- they believe that matter, not spirit nor ideas, is the sole and ultimate reality. Witness their behaviors and their relentless drive to control more and more of the material world, which is all they know, and all they believe in.

We live in a material world, it is true, but it is also true that we live in mutiple worlds- not just one. We also live and move in a world of ideas, which is different from the world of matter. Ideas do not conform to the rules that govern the material world- they have their own, very different patterns of behavior. This is why those who seek to imprison ideas always fail: an idea is not a piece of real estate one can build a fence around, or conceal behind a wall. The idea will always escape, and become more powerful in doing so.

The realization that the state of Israel is now the primary source of political violence in the world is not going to disappear, no matter how many media companies they buy, no matter how many algorithms they re-design.

Great reporting, guys, sadly confirming my worst fears about how deeply embedded zionism is in the US, and globally. Is it really only about money? Because this sure looks more like a power grab. Does Israel see itself as the future hegemonic power against China? Meanwhile, the ghouls on the hill in DC can't stop sucking the Israeli/MIC teet, at the expense of our Constitution.

Power, Profits, and Prophets are working hand in hand for the Zionist project.

Money talks everybody else better shut up about it. Another great expose of Israels tentacles.

Remember that rather old and dated trope about Jews controlling the media….

Thank you for another piece of great reporting. This story depresses the hell out of me because what chance do we have? How can we fight the world’s richest men? Why am I allowed to criticize every country in the world, including my own, but risk punishment if I say a negative word against Israel? I feel lost.

Just when I thought the news couldn't get any worse, here we are.😔

This is how the evil billionaire class sees Palestinians. Condescending, paternalistic, supremacist, dehumanising. Colonial and imperial. 96 years years after stealing their self-determination, the Imperialists ride again. This can not happen. This will not happen,

About ruling Gaza: “We’re going to have supervision. Every police officer is going to be supervised at all times, and if there’s a problem, AI will report that problem and report it to the appropriate person. Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that’s going on.”

I don’t think he was talking only about Gaza. That is the dream of those who currently run our country and the world. They will continue for as long as we, the people, let them. How we stop them is a work in progress.

Shocking, I suggest we all support congresswoman MT Greene in her fight against AIPAC She is one of the very few elected officials who doesn’t take AIPAC money . She is also going after release of the Epstein files which is Trumps Achilles heal. She also is influential in the MAGA world, I frankly disagree with many of her positions however everyone needs to support her in her battle in the above. I am gifting her a Celtic knot shield as she battles with these evil forces

Hi Judy, although you and I are not elected officials we need to reach across the aisle to get things done

Judy's avatar

I enjoy some reaching across the aisle on some issues. The Elizabeth Warren JD Vance partnership, Sanders & Hawley, Warren & Hawley. As long as the partnerships are for the betterment of the people and not another give away to corporations or Wall Street I’m good. I also appreciate MTG & Massie for teaming up with Ro Khanna on releasing Epstein files. And my favorite partnership that got Zero attention was Paul Gosar teaming up with Ilhan Omar to drop charges against Julian Assange.

I’m regretting not having cheering for MTG on my 2025 bingo card! Who would have guessed it!

Take action today

FIFA and UEFA are meeting about whether to expel Israel from their tournaments. Take action today, because actions of this kind may be one of the only things that matters to those committing the atrocities against the Palestinian people. Tell FIFA to ban Israel from playing in the 2026 World Cup:

In the UK:
