The US House passed a bill that included more than $26 billion in funding for the genocidal Israeli war against the oppressed Palestinian people.
The Funding for Israel’s war is part of a much larger war funding, 95 billion dollars to be exact, the balance of which will go toward Ukraine’s war effort against Russia.
Ninety-five billion American dollars aimed at propping up Ukraine’s flailing war effort against Russia because Russia objected to that nation becoming a member of NATO, which would effectively put NATO on Russia’s border.
Worse yet, it would mean that Ukraine on Russia’s border would be subjected to America’s nuclear umbrella protection.
The United States would not allow Mexico to have Russian forces on its southern border.
This point of view is not speculation; there is precedent to prove it.
On October 16th, 1962, the United States and the Soviet Union came dangerously close to bringing the world to nuclear annihilation because of Soviet missiles on the Island of Cuba. Cuba is about 90 miles from the southerlymost tip of Florida. It does not share a land border with the United States. Ukraine shares a land border with Russia.
In the end, Nikita Khrushchev, the Soviet President, relented and agreed to remove the missiles. From then on, Americans celebrated the historic win by the then-newly minted John F. Kennedy.
Those who bother to pay attention to history and are vested in facts know that the United States also removed its own missiles from Turkish soil, which was the reason Khruschev engaged in the Cuban gambit in the first instance.
The historically correct version of that event is that Nikita Khrushchev won that chess move.
We could go on about history if the present weren’t so pressing. There is hopelessness, poverty, homelessness, lack of money for the education of American children, student loan debt, failing businesses, depression, and a host of issues that could be addressed with 95 billion dollars. Still, Congress and Joe Biden believe it is more important to spend 95 billion dollars to defend Ukraine and to help Israel kill unarmed Palestinians.
But you are mistaken if you think this funding package was the only issue. Attached to the historic war-funding giveaway is legislation that will effectively ban the Application of TikTok from the United States.
The real reason the US Government is doing this is that the Application allows Americans to see the genocide in Palestine paid for with their tax dollars. No American media house run by the Zionist interest thinks it necessary for Americans to see these atrocities.
The reason the American politicians give the American public for their actions is that this Application is a national security threat because China partially owns it.
Almost everything we use in America is made in China, so maybe we should be more concerned about that than an app.
The Bill passed the House with heavy Democratic support, and it is now up to the Senate to pass it. Biden says he will sign it.
It will effectively mean that Republicans and Democrats have come together to take away the rights of 172 million people and 7 million businesses that benefit from the application.
It will also strip away 54 billion dollars of revenue from the American economy.
This is particularly egregious as the United States Constitution clearly states that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
If you think that the Supreme Court will stop this for one minute, you are dead wrong.
The Supreme Court announced on Monday that it will not hear Mckesson v. Doe. The decision not to hear Mckesson left in place a lower court decision that effectively eliminated the right to organize a mass protest in the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas.
Under that lower court decision, a protest organizer faces potentially ruinous financial consequences if a single attendee at a mass protest commits an illegal act. (Vox.com)
Neither the Executive nor the Legislative branch of Government respects the Constitution. The Judicial branch that is supposed to ensure that Constitutional rights are guaranteed just happens to be the worst offender of those rights.
So, it’s more wars and genocide with our dollars, and we dare not speak out against this because they will soon begin to throw us in prison for daring to speak out.
