If you are trying to pretend that Kamala or Hillary cared for working class Americans, or for human rights, or for Palestinians, that is your internal mental problem.
Americans were given a choice between war mongering, Zionist pro-corporate or war mongering, Zionist pro-corporate. US 'democracy'.

Even if Kristi Noem is impeached, the same power base is still there. They'll just appoint another Kristi Noem.
But I guess the feeling of impunity won't be as strong.

Mandelson, whose father was Jewish, supported the rise of Tony Blair and Keir Starmer in the British Labour Party. He also was a long term opponent of Jeremy Corbyn.
I wonder if he was blackmailed or otherwise pressured to favour pro-Zionist politicians over Corbyn in the Labour Party?

You mention Labor, Liberal and the Greens.
What about One Nation?
There seem to be some billionaires trying to do with Hanson what Elon did with Trump. X is full of One Nation propaganda.

The US is being destroyed (some might say deliberately divided) by home-grown American groups, without Putin's help.

Grok re Edelman:
'Martin Edelman (the New York-based real estate lawyer & advisor to UAE entities, often called Marty Edelman) is Jewish. Reliable reporting describes him as a Jewish-American lawyer born into a liberal Jewish family in New York.'
Still no Palestinians on Trump's "Board of Peace."

Iran is free in the sense that it hasn't been captured by the Transatlantic Finance Cartel.
Iran is unfree in the sense that it's ruled by an autocratic government (but if it were to loosen control, it'd be overrun by a proxy of the Cartel or of Turkey; or worse, end up like Libya).

There are extremists in every religion.
They're the ones trying to spread their religion through violence and oppression. They're the ones saying God views them more favourably than other humans.
The world needs moderates, especially today.

True: even if I had sources and a video, I would still question it. Because there are different figures.
Marandi says < 3,000 dead and many were Mossad agents or people (police) killed by Mossad agents. No source is apolitical.
We still don't really know how many died in Tiananmen Square in 1989.

This is true for hardline MAGA supporters.
But many of those who voted for Trump in 2024 have now abandoned him. Their confessions are all over social media.

The Iranian government's security forces have estimated 30K deaths?
Did you get that info via a US-funded NGO... or just make it up?
Very hard to know the real figure... and who did most of the killings.

Our ABC seems quite happy to publicise Trump's transgressions.
That shows there's a rupture in western elite consensus re Trumpism.
Our ABC is more biased when reporting on Putin, Hamas and the Ayatollah. That shows there's a western elite consensus on these topics.

Carney is ex-Goldman Sachs. Last month he appointed an ex-Black Rock exec as Canada's ambassador to the US.
Is Carney positioning Canada against Trump... or positioning the Transatlantic finance cabal against Trump?
