“Imperial Psycho”. Best. Description. Ever.
Trump is a maniac. While waging war on Venezuela, he now threatens to attack Colombia too (although he can't spell it correctly). Trump falsely claims Colombian President Petro is a "drug leader". This is a total lie. Now he's threatening sanctions and attacks. Imperial psycho

There's just something about white male degenerates who find Jesus the moment that they are accused of rape. It's a moneymaking miracle.
There’s just something about Russell Brand, a former Hollywood degenerate, leading thousands of young people in prayer and closing in Jesus’ name at the Oklahoma Turning Point Tour stop. Wow. God really is moving in America.

A must listening. What a gallery of ruthless, monstrous colonial psychopath characters. A sadly familiar landscape, the stage was truly set back then for the decades of brutal repression to come.
Episode 9 of the Gaza series out today... THE PALESTINIAN REVOLT 1936-1939 Fuelled by Arab frustration over British colonial oppression, land sales and escalating Jewish immigration, the Palestinian Revolt was the first instance of Palestinian resistance...

The great William Dalrymple, who knows as much about the history of colonialism as anyone alive, has been unrelenting on this site in bringing attention to the ongoing genocide of the Palestinians by Israel in Gaza. An example to all scholars to step out of their ivory towers.
Why is the West allowing itself to be complic in War Crimes more terrible that the razing of Aleppo or Mariupol?
