I know, we try to tune out but the current US election side show keeps presenting WTF moments that require seeing to believing.

Fully agree - I am enjoying the clown show as entertainment trying not to get attached to it - one way or another. And if I do a little - I just write it off my liver and dump it on Substack - sorry guys. :-)

Choice analogies my friend. Burdens on one’s self get lifted once we shift from - ‘why are people so fucking stupid’ into ‘ok, right, people are really fucking stupid’. Let the majority be how they want, try and shine a light on the holes for those people who show some promise and an aptitude to change their thinking.

It's funny how small changes in thinking can relieve all the cognitive dissonance.

I had a very similar experience over the vaccine mandates with the troubling thought being "how can these people be so satanic as to claim rights to other people's flesh for experimental genetic injections?", readily solved with the thought "these people are satanic". So easy.

I'm also sceptical about his motives for beating up Iran as his assassination attempt provocateur, without any particular evidence for Iranian involvement over Crooks & Routh. It definitely read as though he was building a case for some action, unless it was a big threat.

I've heard a comment from Iran saying they haven't organised anything against Trump.

Is it true Iran supports Hamas?

Not sure but they definitely support Hezbollah in Beirut and Israel has been attacking Hezbollah massively in the past weeks, first with the pager explosions and then rockets. They also talked about troops moving into Beirut again. Several provocations towards Iran in the past months. Everything points to a war with Iran with Israel clearly the aggressor atm.

Saying this, Hezbollah and Iran are as mad as the Israelis in my opinion.

One of these conflicts they keep alive for decades for various reasons and none of these reasons have anything to do with wanting the best for the people in the region. They are just victims of a cruel power struggle between a few bigwigs. Same old.

Possibly the main reason, if Maaji Nawaz is right, is advancing global totalitarian agendas.

Not much we can do but being very grateful that fate put us in a safe more humane zone of the world and having compassion for the decent people and families on all sides.

I'm not sure how the global totalitarian thing comes into this? I don't know what Nawaz has said.

The western left wingers (closest to the totalitarians I thought) are wringing their hands over the Palestinians. Iran is with BRICS - Russia's anti-totalitarian as far as I know. Trump/RFK Jr/Gabbard are anti-surveillance/totalitarian I thought.

Just caught up on the pagers, and saw a piece on the Iranian nuclear scientist assassination (by Mossad) that Trump was apparently associated with. Targeted extra-judicial killing is rather cold.

Being nobody and going nowhere with a fellow traveler is comforting.
