Plenty of more bombs for Israel, together with billions in warplanes
The Biden reelection campaign tells me to fear MAGA and Donald Trump. I fear the Biden administration and its moral bankruptcy.
It’s been a grim 48 hours in the Middle East, as summarized here by Caitlin Johnstone:
In the span of just a few hours we learned that Israel committed a horrific massacre at al-Shifa hospital, struck an Iranian consulate in Syria killing multiple Iranian military officers, and killed a vehicle full of international aid workers in an airstrike. This murderous regime is out of control.
Out of control, indeed. The Biden administration claims it’s frustrated with the Netanyahu government, so how does it show its frustration? By approving the sale of more F-35 jets to Israel, together with more bombs to turn what’s left of Gaza into rubble. Just what Israel needs: 1,800 MK84 2,000-pound bombs. That’s 1.8 kilotons of bombs right there, added to a bomb tonnage against Gaza that has already reached Hiroshima and Nagasaki levels. But I guess it’s OK if you drop thousands of bombs rather than just two atomic bombs.
Meanwhile, I saw this morning that the Biden administration is pressing to sell up to 50 newly built F-15 jets to Israel, a sale that will require Congressional approval. Not to worry—that sale will be approved.
Way to punish Israel, Joe Biden!
Even Trump, who’s professed his love of Israel, is not as slavishly obedient to Netanyahu as Biden is.
And the Palestinians in Gaza? They simply don’t matter, else the Biden administration wouldn’t be providing all those bombs and warplanes to Israel.
We need regime change in Washington, D.C.
MAGA, however, isn’t the answer. We don’t need to make America great again. We need to make America moral, ethical, compassionate, and humane. MAMECH?

MSMEC sounds good to me! However year after year it got worse and kept destroying the good things in the world and lieing all the way. How can this change now?
There are a lot of people ready to fight against this horrible society but they lack of everything.
This is true for many other countries but they don’t have the weight of the US. Kind of late now…

“We need regime change in Washington, D.C.” Agreed…wholesale. Start with the neocons, the Zionists (same?), the MIC, the craven ZioOccupied Congress, the clueless ZioOccupied Executive Branch, the “enemies within” CIA and FBI (+ assorted [non]security/intelligence operatives), DoD, think(sic)tanks, greedy lobbyists, the embedded MSM. Replace/Restart with “We, the people”….
MAMECH? I’ll go for that! Thanks.

Dear All,
As I have mentioned to Ray Cormier:
It is indeed an age of deplorable politics, outright complicity, devious duplicity, shameless mendacity, excruciating inhumanity, extraordinary brutality and unrelenting cruelty!

Excellent!
Recently, I had sort of an epiphany and have been trying to work “barbarianism/barbarism/barbaric/21st Century barbarians” into dialog or discussions as descriptors regarding the civilizational scourge known and operating “barbarically” as militant-political Settler-Colonial/Genocidal Zionism.

Dear Robert,
Hello! Thank you for your reply and compliment. Zionism seems to have sewn a seed of self-destruction, especially in this Israel-Palestine war.
For your information, Benjamin Netanyahu and his far-right ilk as well as some complicit actors and agents have been using misquotation and disinformation to pull the wool over people’s eyes. These are the most insidious tactics and powerful tools used by similar culprits all over the world to achieve nefarious ends, as have been analysed in detail in a highly engaging and expansive post entitled “Misquotation Pandemic and Disinformation Polemic: Mind Pollution by Viral Falsity“, published at:

Thanks! I too briefly scanned your website, have bookmarked it with intention of re-visiting often, know a couple of folks who might/should be interested…seems to me this should form part of a university curriculum….
Incidental thought: I use the word “manipulation” frequently, and it seems to me that it might fit well in this sentence I’ve extracted from your above comment: ”For your information, Benjamin Netanyahu and his far-right ilk as well as some complicit actors and agents have been using misquotation and disinformation to pull the wool over people’s eyes.”

Dear Robert,
Indeed, “manipulation” can be considered as the operative word in such cases.
In case you become somewhat bewildered or overwhelmed by what you saw when you visited my website, I would like to take this opportunity to explain that there are very good reasons for my website exhibiting complexity and featuring unique organizational structures. I have prepared a detailed User Guide for maximizing and optimizing your experience of my highly complex and multifaceted website. You are very welcome to consult the new and comprehensive User Guide to familiarize yourself with the many features and tools of my highly unusual, uniquely customized and multidisciplinary website.
The User Guide is entitled “🥳🪟🎖️ How to Enjoy SoundEagle🦅 to the Utmost 🥇🏢🍹”, and is available to you as a post at:
It is preferrable to use a desktop or laptop computer with a large screen to view the rich multimedia contents available for heightening your multisensory enjoyment at my website, which could be too powerful and feature-rich for iPad, iPhone, tablet or other portable devices to handle properly or adequately. Moreover, since my intricate website contains advanced styling and multimedia components plus animations, it is advisable to avoid viewing the contents of my website using the WordPress Reader, which cannot show many of the advanced features and animations in my posts and pages. It is best to read the posts and pages directly in my website so that you will be able to savour and relish all of the refined and glorious details plus animations, given that my website contains not just texts and images but also bespoke stylings and dynamic animations — images and stories that are animated on their own. These are not videos but actual animations.
In about a day or two, or longer if something intervenes, I intend to publish a new, very extensive post about artificial intelligence (including ChatGPT) and its impacts on society as well as on writing, blogging, researching and even commenting.
Yours sincerely,
