The US begins 2026 with a heist to the usual neighborhood of the world.
Someone's gotta make the richest country !

In my latest essay "Terror, not territory" - Anatomy of a Pain Machine
(www.nospoonlabs.com/posts/palest...) I attempt to break through the barriers that prevent us from confronting the reality in Palestine.

Does Israel have the right to exist?
This is perhaps the most commonly deployed question used to constrain public debate within the Zionist framework. Here is why it's fundamentally manipulative.

The machine that manufactures consent is going BRRRR. 🗞️📺📡

Mass media news outlets are shameless in keeping the Matrix up and running, to cover up and divert from the reality of the Palestinian massacre.

2 Million people flooded the streets of Italy, blocked trains, ports, airports, in a national strike against the Italian government's lack of actions against Israel's genocide and illegal kidnapping of activists in international waters.

Test boundary of impunity -> proceed -> test impunity -> proceed -> so on
The NFL champion 🏈 of war crimes and disregard of international law.

Again another cycle begins:

1. Conditions of "peace" imposed by the perpetrators of violence while the victim is being strangulated. ➰

There is no such thing as a war in Gaza.
There is absolutely no symmetry.
Gaza is the world's largest prison where an entire ethnic group is starved, shot at and bombed by Israel, supported by its active and passive allies.

I'd like to believe in the soul, so that eternal shame can follow this person forever (senator Tom Cotton).
These lies define policy, make business happen here in the US.
That's why it's LinkedIn worthy, in case you are wondering.

Curious fact: the US/Israel alliance in perpetuating the decades long incremental Palestinian genocide in Gaza, not only violates international law, but also the U.S. human rights laws (Leahy Law en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leahy_Law).

Did Rigetti Computing, IonQ and D-Wave deliver on their technological promises?
I've compared their public announcements against what they achieved over the years, from a technology standpoint. I captured what I found on my blog: lnkd.in/gBJa-vPB

Why the annual panic over US deficits? Let's look at the arguments:

👉 Inflation? My analysis of the data doesn't show a link. 📊
👉 Interest on debt? Not a real threat. Since 1971, the US has issued its own currency.⛓️💸

The word debt is wrong: it's a tool for interest rate policy, not for spending.
