Geezer goes East

I have to say that I think Gaza would still be being slaughtered if Harris was in power. That’s not praise for the orange genocidal fascist rapist, but damnation of her and Biden.

On this edition of Parallax Views, Antiwar.Com's Dave DeCamp joins the show to discuss Trump's appointment of Michael DiMino, a former CIA analyst and fellow at the realist and restraint think tank Defense Priorities, to head up Middle East policy at the Pentagon. DiMino, if his past comments are any indication, wants U.S. involvement in the Middle East to be drastically reduced. We'll also Trump envoy Steve Witkoff (specifically in relation to Gaza and Iran), Trump redesignating Cuba as a state sponsor of terror, Trump's comments about possible military intervention to deal with Mexican drug cartels, Trump's controversial statements about Greenland and the Panama Canal, and much more.

Also fucking hell, Responsible Statecraft rears it head throughout the interview. The Koch fucking puppets. You may like the cooking recipes in Der Sturmer but Der Sturmer is still owned by Streicher!

Arthur on cutting cables

How far is China involved in Russia's cable war?

There’s been a fair bit of reporting of the Russian campaign of sabotage against undersea cables, particularly in northern European countries bordering Russia. In the final months of last year, cables were severed in the Baltic Sea between Sweden and Lithuania and another between Germany and Finland. And then, on Christmas Day, a power cable between Est…

Not all doom

Greg uses the same picture as we did this week BECAUSE WE ALL HATE FUCKING SPACE NAZI

Welcome to the Fourth Reich

Late December back in ‘23, my guest on the PREVAIL podcast was Brynn Tannehill, a senior defense analyst, former Naval aviator, and author of American Fascism—a smart, disturbing, and prescient book that people would do well to buy now and read. (There’s

PREVAIL by Greg Olear

This isn’t a fucking Roman salute you fuckers. Nobody fucking gives a Roman salute in 2025. Its fascist and has been since 1920. You know, when Mussolini introduced it for FASCISM and then Hitler copied it.

Anti Defamation League saying “Arbeit Macht Frei” on the doors of the Tesla Factory is a friendly traditional German greeting.

I wonder how Switzerland went from poverty in 1910 to obscene wealth by 2025. Not by hiding blood money, surely not.
