racocn8 comments on Jan 6, 2022:

1st. Whataboutism. A great deal of the arson and looting of summer 2020 was organized by the white supremacist militias, who took advantage of the BLM protests. There's lots of Christian Nationalists in Portland too. 2nd. Trump engaged in several coups simultaneously: 2a) Mass lawsuits to overturn the counts; 2b) Trying to overturn state elections by intimidating state officers and election officials; 2c) Intimidating and offering to bribe state legislators to overturn election results; 2d) assaulting the capitol to stop the elector certification (and what else? ). 3rd. In the assault on the Capitol, the FBI, Pentagon, and Congressmembers conspired to make it happen, and nothing has come of that. 4th. The GQP has not owned up to any of it. 5th. Despite pathetic deflections, the DOJ and FBI have refused to pursue ANY charges in spite of numerous criminal violations, starting with treason, bribery, extortion, obstruction of justice.... 6th. The CIA has worked to tone down the objections to Trump and GQP behavior in the MSM.

The late Desmond Tutu's fight against apartheid (not covered anywhere in the MSM) [youtu.be]

racocn8 comments on Jan 6, 2022:

This is political propaganda that is simplistic to the point of being simple-minded. Why would Tutu single out Israel out of all the bad shit that goes on around the world? I have no love for any Catholic cardinal, and that alone renders Tutu's opinions especially worthless. Israel has powerful and wealthy enemies and anyone criticizing Israel's behavior has to account for Arab behavior FIRST (especially as they are nearly always the initiators). They're all nuts, so again, singling out Israel requires a motive, and while anti-Semitism is likely to be the correct answer, being funded by Saudi Arabia or Iran happens a lot.

A man finds a magic bottle and rubs it. The genie, angry from being disturbed, admits that the man can have one wish. The man said, "I'd like to wake up on bed next to three celebrity women." POOF! and the guy is in bed with Lorena Bobbitt, Tonya Harding, and Hillary Clinton. Next thing he knows, his penis is missing, his knee is throbbing, and he has no medical insurance. An Arab has spent many days crossing the desert without finding a source of water. It gets so bad that his camel dies of thirst. He's crawling through the sands, certain that he has breathed his last breath then all of a sudden he sees a shiny object sticking out of the sand several yards ahead of him. He crawls to the object, pulls it out of the sand, and discovers that he has a Manishevitz wine bottle. It appears that there may be a drop or two left in the bottle, so he unscrews the top and out pops a genie.......But this is no ordinary genie. This genie appears to be a Chasidic Rabbi, complete with black alpaca coat, black hat, side curls, etc., "Well kid," says the genie. "You know how it works. You have three wishes." I'm not going to trust you,' says the Arab. "I'm not going to trust a Jewish genie!" "What have you got to lose? It looks like you're a goner anyway!" The Arab thinks about this for a minute, and decides that the genie is right. "Okay, I wish I were in a lush oasis with plentiful food and drink." ******POOF********* The Arab finds himself in the most beautiful oasis he has ever seen and he is surrounded with jugs of wine and platters of delicacies.. "Okay kid, what's your second wish?" My second wish is that I were rich beyond my wildest dreams." *****POOF****** The Arab finds himself surrounded by treasure chests filled with rare old coins and precious gems. "Okay kid, you have just one more wish. Better make it a good one!" After thinking for a few minutes, the Arab says, "I wish that no matter where I go beautiful women will always need and want me!!!" *****POOF***** He is turned into a tampon. THE MORAL OF THE STORY: If you do business with a Jewish genie, there's going to be a string attached. A man was riding his Harley beside a Sydney beach when suddenly the sky clouded above his head and in a booming voice, The Lord said. 'Because you have TRIED to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish.' The biker pulled over and said, 'Build a bridge to New Zealand so I can ride over anytime I want.' The Lord said; 'Your request is materialistic, think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking, the supports required reaching the bottom of the Pacific and the concrete and steel it would take! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly ...

Normally, he never discussed his politics, so I was shocked to find out, and forced to downgrade his reliability. In the fall of 2020, I heard that his mother passed away from Covid. I felt compelled to blame him and his Trumpy values; I'm sure they figured into her passing. It's sad. These people lose loved ones, but are so devoted to their hate that they haven't the humility to take responsibility for their stupidity. Shame on them, though I know they can't feel any.
