Trump & Israel fired the first shot in a major war on BRICS as Iran's resilient defense shocks the world. Geopolitical analyst Pepe Escobar joined the program directly after Iran's attack on a US air base in Qatar to react to the significance of the 12-day war and what's to come as the Collective West panics over the power of the multipolar world led by the emerging BRICS countries.

YOURDEMOCRACY.NET RECORDS HISTORY AS IT SHOULD BE — NOT AS THE WESTERN MEDIA WRONGLY REPORTS IT.

I haven't much faith in

   A Peace that commences 

With hacking off limbs

   Or in sniping from trenches.

Yet some say 'tis Peace that

   We're now fighting for;

If THIS brings us Peace,

   What on earth brings us War?

R. H. LONG, 'Peace', in Verses (1917). A comment on the 1914-18 War.

=======================

Our final conclusion, therefore, is that it will be necessary for our government to plan in depth for two general contingencies. The first, and lesser, is the possibility of a viable general peace; the second is the successful continuation of the war system.

“Never in our history,” declared a TV anchor, “has there been such an avalanche of information, so little believed or believable.”

This was no anguished lament over AI or social media. This was 1967, the era of the Vietnam War, racial tension, and urban blight, when a group of liberal satirists launched a prank so well-executed it would later be called “the hoax of the century.”

On July 4, 1945, the great atomic scientist Leo Szilard finished a letter that would become the strongest (and one of the very few) real attempts at halting President Truman’s march to using the atomic bomb – which was two weeks from its first test at Trinity – against Japanese cities.

It’s well known that as the Truman White House made plans to use the first atomic bombs against Japan in the summer of 1945, a large group of atomic scientists, many of whom had worked on the bomb project, raised their voices, or at least their names, in protest. They were led by the Szilard. On July 3, he finished a petition to the president for his fellow scientists to consider, which called atomic bombs “a means for the ruthless annihilation of cities.” It asked the president “to rule that the United States shall not, in the present phase of the war, resort to the use of atomic bombs.”

After the federal election on 3 May, dissection of the Liberals’ turmoil received top billing.

But there has also been a “get the Greens” movement. Everybody has been piling on. The Greens are too extreme on everything. The brawl is of deeper significance.

Gaza as Exhibit A. The Greens have been too extreme on Gaza, say the Libs and Labor and their acolytes and the pundits.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is “a professional” who has learned how to handle Western sanctions, but he understands that more could come if the Ukraine conflict is not settled, US President Donald Trump has said.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Friday, Trump confirmed that the two leaders discussed potential sanctions during Thursday’s phone call. “I would say he [Putin] is not thrilled with it, but you know, he’s been able to handle sanctions, but these are pretty biting sanctions.”

The Russian president, he added, is fully aware that the US could ramp up the pressure. “You know, he’s a professional. It may be coming,” he added.

So, god does not exist. Full stop. I had this conversation with a Christian the other day… He believed in the ONLY god, of course, because His is better than yours… (or it could be the same, but with a different colour, or beard or pants)........

Elon Musk has announced that he is moving ahead with plans to create a new political party. The move comes on the heels of a falling out between the billionaire and President Donald Trump over tax and spending policy. 

Both Republicans and Democrats are only wasting taxpayers’ money and damaging the US economy, Musk claimed on Saturday. “When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste and graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy,” he wrote in a post on X, the social media platform he owns. “Today, the America party is formed to give you your freedom.”

The billionaire did not elaborate on how much progress he had made with his plan. For a new nationwide party to be formed, its founding organization should qualify as a political party committee and register with the Federal Election Commission.

US President Donald Trump signed a sweeping multitrillion-dollar tax and spending package, dubbed the “Big Beautiful Bill,” into law during a dramatic ceremony at the White House on Friday that featured a flyover of the American aircraft used in recent bombing raids on Iran.

The signing ceremony took place during an Independence Day picnic hosted by the president for military families. Trump devoted much of his speech to praising the Air Force for conducting “one of the most successful military strikes in all of history,” before shifting the focus from military to economic accomplishments.

In recent years, Americans have become obsessed with learning about their ancient heritage. Only a few years ago, companies such as 23andMe and AncestryDNA celebrated their tens of millions of customers, whom they encouraged, in ridiculous commercials, to travel the world to find and develop deep connections with their far-flung roots.

The inside joke of the recent gathering of G7 nations in Canada was that it was a summit of the “group of six plus one”.

“So, the world is just engaging, getting on with things. And then there’s this other guy who, you know, is like the uncle at Christmas time who’s arrived pissed, and you don’t know what they’ll do, because they’re erratic,” a senior Australian government source tells The Saturday Paper.

Gaza’s Health Ministry said on Thursday that Israeli forces killed at least 118 Palestinians and wounded 581 over the previous 24-hour period as heavy US-backed Israeli strikes continued across the Strip and Israeli troops continued to shoot people seeking aid.

Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has claimed Russian President Vladimir Putin is “mocking” his US counterpart Donald Trump’s peace initiatives.

The top Polish diplomat took to X on Friday to respond to a series of overnight Russian missile strikes on Ukrainian drone production facilities, an airfield and an oil refinery, which Moscow said was a response to “terrorist attacks by the Kiev regime.” .

”President Trump, Putin is mocking your peace efforts. Please restore supplies of anti-aircraft ammunition to Ukraine and impose tough new sanctions on the aggressor,” Sikorski wrote, complaining that a Russian strike had damaged the Polish embassy compound in Kiev.

Mozambican writer Mia Couto once gave a remarkable speech about the political exploitation of fear, in which he denounced “those who fear that fear might end” (quem tenha medo que o medo acabe). In a nutshell: fearmongering — an extremely powerful and effective means of manipulation and control.

In this line of articles and posts, we will invest in various live and dead poets who have "influenced" the style of our Western philosophy which has had nil effect on the mad psychos who run the caper....

Here we also connect with "the New Atheism" or the old one which is much the same but ignores the question of god... Unfortunately, many past rulers have pushed the deist concept to make us sweat...
