This kind of cooperation and complicity with oppression, colonialism, and now genocide, is not something that began subsequent to October 7, 2023. We need to take a close, long and very hard look at just what the US, and its corporate accomplices actually stand for. Once we see this is longstanding, and inseparable from government policy, both domestic and foreign, we will understand that we have intentionally been made comfortably numb for decades.

Time to devote our energies to finding an alternative to this death and destruction, otherwise, we are looking at the end of our species. Some might say that's not a bad idea, given what we've done to each other, and the earth so far, but that's self-fulfilling. Let's start to change things by not just not voting for either of the two Uniparty candidates, but by voting for a third party candidate who represents an anti-war, anti-genocide, pro-justice position. The MSM has done its best to slicence and supress alternative voices, let us not be partners by silencing ourselves. The only wasted vote this year, is one for either of the mainstream parties.

I think with the two big anti-democratic decisions made by the SCOTUS, AIPAC, these hideous tech companies assisting genocide, the lies and repression of truth, Project 25 has already begun. I have a feeling that Trump is their preferred choice even though he's going senile; they have Vance who is perfect for their cause. No matter how the votes are tallied, it could end up a clear win for the loser.

(Joy, It must be difficult to live in the new HK. The old HK was an international city, like London, etc. I am hoping for the release of our "friend" Jimmy...)

Read Matt Kennard's book, The Racket. As for voting for a third party candidate, I will direct you to Robert Azzi's substack for a different view. https://open.substack.com/pub/robertazzitheother/p/friday-mezze-open-letter-to-arab?r=1i7es2&utm_medium=ios
