The world can't stand aside and watch these creeps operate with impunity. Biden, the stumbling creep, and his associates, Blinken, Netanyahu, Gallant etc., have been allowed to crawl and worm their way towards a world war in the process of        inflicting the most gruesome of fates upon Palestinians - nothing is too cruel or small/evil-minded to be weaponized. No sane person would stand with them, and in fact most of the world abhors the whole lot of 'em. They must be indicted and arrested wherever they may go.

Hey folks do you want read something that will really really scare your pants Off? It was written in 1896 and describes Genocide Joe to a T.

The Modern Politician

by Archibald Lampman (Canadian Poet)

What manner of soul is his to whom high truth

Is but the plaything of a feverish hour,

A dangling ladder to the ghost of power!

Gone are the grandeurs of the world's iron youth,

When kings were mighty, being made by swords.

Now comes the transit age, the age of brass,

When clowns into the vacant empires pass,

Blinding the multitude with specious words.

To them faith, kinship, truth and verity,

Man's sacred rights and every holiest thing,

Are but the counters at a desperate play,

Flippant and reckless what the end may be,

So that they glitter, each his little day,

The little mimic of a vanished king.

Biden in particular has always been self-serving although he always liked to project himself as a caring soul . I have a video tape of him ranting that he is going to build the biggest wall ever, and now with needed votes the borders are open. There hasn't been a war this SOB hasn't endorsed, or pushed.

Biden went to Lahaina and talked about his kitchen fire (lying of course about its extent) to the people whose lives had been wrecked and last night blew off Lakin Riley’s murder with his usual “I’ve lost children too.” A true sociopath—superficially charming (as a young man), devoid of principles and lying with ease. Gavin Newsome will be his perfect replacement.

His “build a pier” fools no one and certainly not Palestian Americans. This is America’s Suez Moment and there’ll be no coming back from it.

Didn't he even mispronounce her name, calling her Lincoln, which made her mother very upset? I think your right about him being a sociopath since he always come across as someone who can't connect on an emotional level with others which is reflected in his so called 'empathetic: connects which are shallow and off the mark, and people are just things. Even when his baby and wife died in that auto accident years ago he lied to garner sympathy and accused the man of killing her and being drunk. No she moved into his lane of traffic and he was not drinking, no charges brought. He is a man that had pushed all our Middle Eastern wars and helped push them down the throats of his fellow democrats.

He's the ultimate Washington insider, a cheap, shameless crook. The first time I heard of Biden he had plagiarized a speech by UK Labour leader Neil Kinnock. But the idea of this senile fool running for another four years of office is another surreal aspect of US politics 2024.

If Trump is bad, Biden is much, much worse. He is evil on another scale. So if I were American, it is clear whom I would elect next November.

I am not sure Trump will be better than Biden regarding Israel, but at least he doesn't speak with the two sides of his mouth. BUT, my hope is that Netanyahu will piss him off, and then he will change dramatically his support of Israel.

Aljazazeera Today: "Palestinians say what they need is the US to stop giving weapons to Israel after President Joe Biden announced a plan to build a temporary pier on Gaza’s coastline to allow aid to enter. The plan has been criticized as “not realistic” and a “distraction”. You would think if he cared, he would do just what the Palestinians asked, but no, since he has always been a self serving SOB through his entire career. It's all a charade and nothing more. There was also a very interesting article in Aljazeera yesterday which made no excuses for the people of Israel whom they claimed were also complicit in this genocide, and I agree. Yeah, get rid of Netanyahu, but speak out against the people your country is systematically killing, Considering how Israel came into being makes their indifference abhorrent. In feeding Israel weapons the US are equally culpable. Did you see the young mother carrying her dead 4 month year old twins that she waited 11 years to have, but now they're dead and so his her husband. I can't believe this is going on. it's not a war it's murder, the systematic murder of men women and children.

On Mondoweiss watching how the Israeli's treat the Palestinian prisoners (some have been held for years without trial) their sense of joy and power is egregious. I could only watch half.....made me so sick.

Aljazeera has a very good video on this that I watched, and it's just as you say.

Biden's pier will take months and never bring the amount of food needed, and he's implementing it as he supplies Israel with weapons to kill them. Bizarre to say the least. "President Biden apologized Saturday for using the word “illegal” during his State of the Union address to describe the Venezuelan migrant accused of killing Georgia nursing student Laken Riley. However, the embattled commander-in-chief failed to apologize – or even acknowledge – that he butchered the murder victim’s name twice as “Lincoln Riley” during the same address." This is exactly who he is, he lacks the ability for compassion and has always been nothing more then an opportunist. I've always felt this way about him.

On Matt Taibbi urged us to watch half Biden's speech............only got halfway...........what a moron. Such a circus afterwards.

He sings the praises of the democrats and all they've done and all they will do. I watched all it, I had a perverse desire to watch Nancy stand and applaud at his every pronouncement and I was waiting for her to fall, and that's what kept me in there. She was such a disappointment, only a tilt.,

always good to hear your voice Aaron. What! a 1,000 trucks queued up to unstarve Palestinians and one pier that awaits 30 days construction. Not sure if any ships have queued up where the pier gets built. Of course the Israili IDF could play whack a mole like it does to Palestinian fishing boats.

More from the Lieden administration. Thanks, Aaron, for the update. I don't know you keep on but grateful that you are.

After this speech I fear the worst for the Palestinian people. These still „living“ in the center of Gaza will die by starvation and disease. The 1.5 million cramped in Rafah will soon be bombarded massively and then share the same faith if they don’t flee to the Sinai desert. And this is all done by the support and complicity of most western governments. Unbearable!

Sadly, Biden managed to fool some people I know. I thought he sounded angry (off the charts angry), they thought he sounded strong.

I remember back in the days of Watergate when we had a bipartisan Senate committee investigating to find out "What did the President know and when did he know it?" concerning a possible coverup of the crime of trying to plant a bug in the offices of the DNC. When the truth was finally revealed, Richard Nixon was forced to resign in disgrace and faced possible obstruction of justice charges until his successor, Gerald Ford, granted him a pardon.

How far down the steep slope of moral depravity have we now been lead by our ruling class that we have become a wholly willing participant in the slaughter of Palestinian men, women, and children? A people ethnically cleansed from their homeland and now trapped in an Israeli-controlled concentration camp. When just a single voice, a woman in Congress, Rashida Tlaib, has spoken out clearly against this and was censured by her congressional colleagues for doing so.

Israel and the US have become a disgrace to our civilization. The wheels of justice will grind slowly but they must grind exceedingly fine.

Full on cover operation from the idiotic, unnecessary embrace onward. All PR, no red lines, no limits. From the Zio nuts running things, Biden and Antony the Anti-diplomat.

I think the weapons and finance monsters who are actually responsible for this and every other outrage need to share the spotlight with their lackeys.

There is not nearly enough focus on the background - on the shadows.

At best anyone supporting Biden is willfully ignorant at worst on board with genocide and spectacularly committed to lies like our Congress & presstitute class. Ghastly reflection of what purported American values have become in a system corrupt to the core & awash in dark money.

PATHETIC!!! SHAMEFUL!!!

How do you feel about Israel pushing the US around, to the point of permitting the US to give aid to the Palestinians in Gaza by air drops or sea routes, instead of allowing the trucks with aid to cross the border at Rafah?

HOW DID THE USA COME TO THIS PATHETIC SITUATION???

WHEN DID THE USA HAVE TO BEND TO THE POLICIES OF ISRAEL?

IMPORTANT -- the full video or even an image of Aaron Bushnell‘s protest of self-burning has been completely scrubbed from Internet — probably as a “hate racist action” hence a well-coordinated censorship.

Total control by our genocidal corrupt CIA-DNC rulers...

Thank you, Aaron. Have you seen the recent articles by Jonathan Cook and Thomas Fazi? Maybe of interest? https://open.substack.com/pub/jonathancook/p/bidens-pier-for-gaza-is-a-hollow; https://open.substack.com/pub/tfazi/p/gaza-the-worlds-first-ai-powered.

Another question, Aaron, though I know you're a busy man. Why didn't the Israeli army let civilians filter in behind them in relative safety as they started in from the north to the south, clearing up Hamas on the way south. By the time they got to Rafah, all civilians would have been safe in their rear. They could have asked for help from Turks or Indonesians to do the filtering, policing, rebuilding and humanitarian relief behind them. Both countries are non-Arab Muslims. Too pie in the sky?

Expand full comment

The answer is that, according to Justin Podur's Anti-Empire Project SitReps, which you can watch on YouTube, failing any victories against Hamas on the ground, all the IDF can do is attack civilians.

That's what needs to be acknoledged here. Israel with fulsome U.S. support is starving Gaza because its military is not able to defeat Hamas.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

My answer: To eradicate Hamas is only the chiffre or pretext to eradicate and expel all Palestinians from Gaza. The big prize, however, is the West Bank. There, the strategy is to to kill and arrest as many Palestinians as possible under martial law. When the oppressed stand up they will „mow the lawn“ as they do and did in Gaza. Again with full support of most western governments and mainstream media.

How are the Israelis more confident than we are ourselves that we will always be around to protect them?
