How Young Karl Marx Got Radicalized

There was a time when the majority of Ashkenazi Jews, 80 % of the world’s Jews, leaned towards the Left, Democracy, Peace and Secularism. Not however, in Israel where ultra Right- Zionism flourished and the once moderate Likud Party lost control. Israel’s extreme right-wing even assassinated Yittzak Rabin in 1995 for his want of peace and his signing of the Oslo Accords. “Amir studied law and computer science, as well as Jewish law at the Institute for Advanced Torah Studies.[4][5] Amir was strongly opposed to the Oslo Accords. He participated in protest rallies against the accords on campus, was active in organizing weekend bus outings to support Israeli settlers, and helped found an illegal settlement outpost.

He and Dr,Ely David the current wannabe Israel’s propagandist and Dr. Goebbels on “X” seems to have a lot in common Yigal Amir.

Karl Marx started out in a liberal milieu where the primary concern was abolishing religious authoritarianism. In time, he came to believe that abolishing capitalism was necessary for true freedom — and that only the working class could do it.

“If I do this, what do I have to lose?”: New documents show Trump feared no consequences for a coup | Salon.com

The Trump Principle ” Can I get away with it and at what cost ? ” Just think Atlantic City!!

There is one simple reason why Donald Trump orchestrated his coup — one which led to a violent insurrection on January 6, 2021: He didn’t think he’d ever face consequences for doing so. A document filed by the January 6 committee with a California federal court on Wednesday confirmed it. The document is filed on a narrow question about obtaining documents from likely Trump co-conspirator John Eastman, who is claiming attorney-client privilege. But that privilege doesn’t give lawyers the right to conspire to commit crimes with their clients, which is exactly what the committee alleges Eastman and Trump were doing. “The Select Committee also has a good-faith basis for concluding that the President and members of his Campaign engaged in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States.”

COP26 Glasgow summit: Zero sum game may reward Libs at the ballot box

Scott Morrison launching the government’s net zero emissions plan, “The Australian Way” on Tuesday.

He scammed Biden. He stabbed Macron in the back. Now he’s trying to do us over slowly while trying to con the Cop26 nations while doing nothing. Yet, he dares call himself our Prime Minister. He’s White, a Christian, a liar and fudamentally a parasite. He’s been one since he graduated and he’s modelled himself on Trump who in turn admires all the authoritarian leaders.

The Prime Minister has changed one word in the government’s policy. Until this week, he’d pledged Australia to “reach net-zero, preferably by 2050”. The new policy omits the word “preferably”. And that one-word edit carries some remarkable implications. Not for the climate. Morrison’s new 126-page “plan” won’t actually cut an extra tonne of emissions from the atmosphere. As it says, it’s “based on existing policies”. Scott Morrison launched the government’s net-zero emissions plan, “The Australian Way” on Tuesday.

The Australian tech entrepreneur Mike Cannon-Brookes is investing billions in renewable energy. He read the “plan” and judged it “ridiculously embarrassing”: “I understand technology damn well. This isn’t a ‘technology-driven approach’. It’s inaction, misdirection and avoiding choices.”

Scott Morrison

Scott Morrison’s Father’s Day hypocrisy

As many have pointed out, this is not the first time Morrison has shown a lack of empathy in tough times. Just months ago, Morrison snuck in a secret trip to Cornwall to find his ancestor’s gravestones (and visit local pubs) whilst in the UK for the G7 summit despite publicly arguing the UK was too risky for Australian travellers. And, of course, Morrison infamously took a family holiday to Hawaii during the height of the 2019 summer bushfires and was forced to cut that trip short in the face of a huge (and foreseeable) backlash. It’s arguable that Morrison’s Father’s Day trip might just be the most offensive of these blunders because not only does the current crisis affect more than half of Australia’s population, but it is also entirely of Morrison’s making. It’s like he lit the fires before jetting off to Hawaii this time.

Where the bloody hell is it? Did Scott Morrison lie about the report that saved his bacon at Tourism Australia? – Michael West

What the national audit office found was a carbon copy of the criticism that a 1999 New Zealand audit report had levelled at Scott Morrison when he was head of NZ’s Office of Tourism and Sport. Morrison had moved to NZ in 1998, reporting directly to the NZ tourism minister, as the inaugural director of the office. The NZ minister, Murray McCully, and Morrison were locked in a power struggle with the independent NZ Tourism Board. The NZ audit office report devoted a whole chapter to Morrison’s deceptive behaviour, which involved changing the focus of a consultant’s review to align it with Morrison’s political agenda and without conferring with the board or his minister. Morrison mysteriously departed the NZ Office of Tourism and Sport one year before the end of his contract term. Morrison’s disdain for transparency and the shirking of accountability, so evident during his tenure at Tourism Australia, persists to this day, with his continual deflecting and “move along, nothing to see here” attitude to journalists asking questions. Given the importance of the KPMG report the question can surely be posed “So where the bloody hell is it?”

J’accuse Donald J.Trump | The Smirking Chimp

Donald Trump’s improbable rise to power and his attempt to stay in power is driven by ceaseless attacks on black and brown people, on immigrants, on Muslims, on his steadfast refusal to condemn in no uncertain terms Nazis as evil, as did Vice President Pence after Poway. Trump offers condolences and notes the cops got their man.

But from the President of the United States, there is no clear condemnation of murderous bigots who become terrorists and their hateful ideology unless they are Jihadist killers. There is also no attempt to control the purchase, spread, use, manufacture of assault weapons, or the ability to sue the gun makers.

Donald Trump: There’s good news, bad news and worse news

He came i shook the tree calle the fruit that fell his never the persons who planted the tree. He stole it. He’s still intent on shaking that tree not nurturing it so if no fruit comes he’ll just walk away. That’s Donald Trump not a President. (ODT)

And that is? Trump’s America is a nation with “no permanent friends and no permanent enemies”, says Wright. “It takes a transactional approach with all nations, places little value in historical ties, and seeks immediate benefits ranging from trade and procurement to diplomatic support.”

Wright has emphasised in his writings from the outset of the Trump candidacy that the President has held a core of visceral, unchanging views for decades now: deeply suspicious of US allies, attracted to authoritarians, hostile to the open world trading system, uninterested in human rights. “His most controversial positions – questioning NATO, seeking to pull out of Syria, starting trade wars – are all consistent with the worldview he has publicly espoused since the 1980s,” he argues in the journal Foreign Affairs.

Naked Truth: The Grifter-in-Chief will Leave us Bankrupt and Holding the Bag

Donald Trump wasn’t actually a successful businessman at all, not in the normal sense anyway. He was an economic magician (or, in classic American terms, a con man) who regularly ground business after business — a set of casinos (at a time when other casinos were thriving), hotels, an airline, and a series of other endeavors ranging from Trump Steaks to Trump Vodka to Trump University — into the dust of bankruptcy or failure. What made him such a magician was that, in case after case, his greatest “business” skill proved to be jumping ship, dollars in hand, leaving those who trusted him, had faith in him, believed in him holding the bag.

Peter Dutton

EDITORIAL EXCERPT: The picture of Duttorian Gray

Sometimes all you need to do is look at someone’s face and their inner demon reveals itself. Some people are better at concealing their worst side, but one of those people is not Peter Dutton.

Now, I am not going to get into calling Dutton names. Yes, I have probably been one of the worst offenders in calling him a potato, or spud, or chip, or some other sort of vegetarian dish.

In fact, indeed, Dutton is a very intelligent man. By calling him names, we diminish the malevolence, malignance and maleficence of this man.

The traits reveal themselves in almost every image I’ve seen taken of him.

Trump lied to me about his wealth to get onto the Forbes 400

This was a model Trump would use for the rest of his career, telling a lie so cosmic that people believed that some kernel of it had to be real. The tactic landed him a place on the Forbes list he hadn’t earned – and led to future accolades, press coverage and deals. It eventually paved a path toward the presidency.

“The largest portion of Mr Trump’s fortune, according to three people who had had direct knowledge of his holdings, apparently comes from his lucrative inheritance. These people estimated that Mr Trump’s wealth, presuming that it is not encumbered by heavy debt, may amount to about $US200 million to $US300 million. That is an enviably large sum of money by most people’s standards but far short of the billionaires club.”

The opacity persists. In 2016, Trump’s presidential campaign put out a statement saying the candidate had a net worth “in excess of TEN BILLION DOLLARS”. But he has never released his tax returns, and he has said that the core Trump Organisation asset is the ownership of his brand – an ineffable marketing claim that is impossible to substantiate or refute.
