Das Video beginnt mit einem Bild eines Mannes mit Brille, der in einem dunklen Umfeld steht. Über ihm steht der Text "Masken-Fiasko-Song" und darunter "ein Möbelstück," was auf eine kritische Aussage hinweist. Der Text wechselt zu "dann wäre er ein Armleuchter aus den Siebzigern," während der Mann sich an einem Laternenpfahl festhält. Die Szene wechselt zu einem Mann in einem blauen Hemd, der sich an einem Laternenpfahl festhält, und der Text bleibt gleich. Der nächste Bildschirm zeigt einen Hund mit einer Maske, und der Text lautet "Den Maskendeal verhunzt er hart." Der Text wechselt zu "Fehlendes ökonomisches Verständnis und politischer Ehrgeiz können...," gefolgt von "Mit diesem Dödelblick ist er schon seit Jahren auf dem Ego-Trip." Der letzte Bildschirm zeigt einen Mann in einem Anzug vor einem Podium mit dem Wort "CORONA" darauf, und der Text lautet "auf dem Ego-Trip." Der Text "extra3" und "Für dich vorgeschlagen" sind im oberen Bereich des Bildschirms zu sehen, was auf eine Social-Media-Plattform hinweist.

Excellent roundup of reaction to Trump's bombing of Iran by @wdlindsy in these two mega-threads:

toad.social/@wdlindsy/11472421…


Valuable commentary about Trump's decision to bomb Iran continues to unfold. With this posting, I'm going to begin a new thread of commentary on this topic, since the previous one had gotten long.

In a statement entitled "Bombing God's Love," Brian Kaylor calls on Bob Dylan as a witness that

"Dropping bombs on people doesn’t count as loving God."

Though Trump invoked the name of God several times after annoucing he had bombed Iran….

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?.... Amid the threats of retribution from Iran following the U.S. military strike on three Iranian nuclear sites, critics have ramped up their scrutiny of the 22-year-old who was assigned to a major terrorism-prevention post by President Donald Trump.

hopefully Iran will simply cut off 'Murikkka's oil access and not, IDK, bomb the complete fuck out of us. I day we sacrifice that baby faced idiot and hope for the best.



Sorry for the radio silence! A bit of unusual time because I don’t feel like sketching as I never feel relaxed with all the chores, duties and weather conditions. But on Thursday we had a planned in advance mertup with local sketch ladies, I went and it was like never changed! I made yet another sketch study of the same view and think I’ll make many many more as I can’t yet get what I want to get out of it 🤭 but surely getting there... #dailysketching #sketchbook #watercoloursketch #mastoart

Part of Marjorie Taylor Greene's statement against the Iran War. xcancel.com/RepMTG/statu...


Why America Is at War with Iran [Michael Hudson]


Opponents of the war with Iran say that the war is not in American interests, seeing that does not pose any visible threat to the United States. This appeal to reason misses the neocon logic that has guided U.S. foreign policy for more than a half century, and which is now threatening to engulf the Middle East in the most violent war since Korea. That logic is so aggressive, so repugnant to most people, so much in violation of the basic principles of international law, the United Nations and the U.S. Constitution, that there is an understandable shyness in the authors of this strategy to spell out what is at stake.

What is at stake is the U.S. attempt to control the Middle East and its oil as a buttress of U.S. economic power, and to prevent other countries from moving to create their own autonomy from the U.S.-centered neoliberal order administered by the IMF, World Bank and other international institutions to reinforce U.S. unipolar power.

Around 1974 or 1975 there was much talk of creation a New International Economic Order (NIEO). I was working at the Hudson Institution with Herman Kahn on international finance and trade, and he brought me to sit in on a military strategy discussion of plans being made already at that time to possibly overthrow Iran and break it up into ethnic parts. Herman found the weakest spot to be Baluchistan, on Iran’s northeast border with Pakistan. The Kurds, Tajiks and the Turkic Azerbaijanis are others whose ethnicities were to be played off against each other, giving U.S. diplomacy a key potential client dictatorship to reshape both Iranian and Pakistani political orientation if need be.

Three decades later, by 2003, General Wesley Clark pointed to Iran as being the capstone of seven countries that the United States needed to control in order to dominate the Middle East, starting with Iraq and Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia and Sudan, culminating in Iran.

From the view of U.S. strategists, the emergence of China’s industrial socialism poses an existential danger to U.S. unipolar control in providing a model that other countries might seek to join to recover the national sovereignty that has been steadily eroded in recent decades.

The motivation has nothing to do with Iran’s attempt to protect its national sovereignty by developing an atom bomb. The basic problem is that the United States has taken the initiative in trying to pre-empt Iran and other countries from breaking away from dollar hegemony.

Here’s how the neocons spell out the U.S. national interest in overthrowing the Iranian government and introducing a regime change – not necessarily a secular democratic regime change, but perhaps an extension of the ISIS-Al Qaida Syrian Wahabi terrorists.

With Iran and its component parts turned into a set of client oligarchies, U.S. diplomacy can control Near Eastern oil. And control of oil has been a cornerstone of U.S. international economic power for a century, thanks to U.S. oil companies operating internationally and also as domestic U.S. producers of oil and gas. Control of Near Eastern oil also means control of the vast holdings of U.S. Treasury securities and private-sector investments by Saudi Arabia and other OPEC countries.

Iran also is a key to blocking Russian development via the Caspian and access to the south. Under U.S. control, an Iranian client regime could threaten Russia from its southern flank, bypassing the Suez Canal.

To the Neocons, this makes Iran a central pivot on which U.S. national interest is based – if you define that national interest as creating a coercive empire of client states.

The ostensible US military budget actually is much larger than is reported in the bill. Congress funds it in two ways: The obvious way is by direct arms purchases paid for by Congress directly. Less acknowledged is MIC spending routed via U.S. foreign military aid to its allies – Ukraine, Israel, South Korea, Europe and Asian countries to buy U.S. arms. This shows the extent to which the military burden is what normally accounts for the entire U.S. budget deficit and hence the rise in ostensible government debt (much of it self-financed by the Federal Reserve since 2008, to be sure).

We are not at war with Iran. Full stop. Congress has to declare war.
in reply to Crackhappy

Technically correct, the worst kind of correct in geopolitics. The US hasn’t declared war in over 80 years and yet has slaughtered millions around the world since.

The video depicts a scene on a city street with multiple police vehicles parked in a line, indicating a possible police presence or operation. The police vehicles are marked with "POLICE" and "PORTOG" on the side, and one is labeled with the number "499." A man dressed in black is seen interacting with a blue SUV, gesturing towards the police vehicles and the surrounding area. The background features a building with a sign for "HAKIM OPTICAL" and another sign reading "L'Optique de Montréal," suggesting a commercial area. The street is lined with trees and other vehicles, including a silver car and a white car, with a person visible inside the blue SUV. The scene is set during the day, with clear visibility and no visible movement of people or vehicles, except for the man's interaction with the SUV. The video captures a moment of interaction between the man and the police presence, with the man appearing to communicate or direct towards the police vehicles.

trump dice che è stato un successo "spettacolare". qualcuno si interroga sulla scelta di questa parola da parte di un capo di stato che ha lanciato un attacco militare che ha anche spezzato vite? sarà stato un successo. un successo importante. ma "spettacolare". cosa è un film? uno spettacolo? oppure sono comunque morte persone vere nell'attacco? il cinismo di questo presidente è veramente RIPUGNANTE.

@simona sai qual è la cosa più triste? Che man mano che persone come noi vengono a mancare, nessuno si ricorderà del mondo prima della distopia.

un po' distopico è sempre apparso. ma nel bene o nel male con kissinger che ha "regnato" 40 anni la politica usa almeno è stata costante (centro america, sud america, o iraq probabilmente non sarebbe così tollerante come io sto parlando). sapevi cosa aspettarti. e poi questo è proprio un buffone. e di certo non parla chiaramente.

My son calls the Tesco delivery vans "the strawberry van" because one of them has an image of a lot of strawberries on the side.

So I thought "but what if, like, strawberry van?" and drew a strawberry van.

Have I said strawberry too many times?

‘Patently illegal’: Critics dispute legality of Trump’s Iran strikes tehrantimes.com/news/514814/Pa…



25 years ago my wife and eldest daughter laid a brick and paver deck in our garden and built an arbor over it with 4x4 uprights and 1x1 cross slats. Then they planted a ‘trumpet vine’. or Campsis on the Arbor. It was about a foot tall when it went into the ground. Just look at it now‼️ The hummingbirds love it so much they nest in it annually. #Flowers #FlowersOfMastodon #BloomScrolling #Gardening #PNW #Oregon



Clearly the US and Israel do not value human life any more than they value truth and honesty in international negotiations. We in Vietnam learned this long ago.
