Jesse Jackson’s 1984 DNC speech feels like something from a different planet. Demanding a new form of foreign policy “characterized by mutual respect, not by gunboat diplomacy and threats,” he calls to end the nuclear arms race and condemns the US decision to “mine the harbors of Nicaragua… to... try to overthrow that government.” Jackson openly rejects the “moral disgrace” of America partnering with apartheid South Africa, noting the absurdity of Reagan condemning Nicaragua’s lack of elections while US officials “embrace military regimes [after] overthrowing democratic governments in Nigeria and Liberia and Ghana.” America, he says, “must play the game by one set of rules.” This clip gives you a sense of what he and his campaign represented: an uncompromising rejection of US militarism abroad and a bold New Deal style economic program at home to put the unemployed back to work rebuilding American infrastructure. Today, when the only political visions being offered are Trump’s naked gangster capitalism and diversity-tinged neoliberalism, he is sorely missed.show more

President Cyril Ramaphosa says Jesse Jackson “chose to belong to us” by standing against apartheid and sharing in the struggle of South Africans. He recalls Jackson saying, “the chains that bind you are my chains,” and concludes that because of his solidarity, “we claim him as ours too today… Jesse Jackson was an African.”

I find it hard to articulate the immeasurable damage done by a President who was elected to office to serve ALL the American people. Despicably, he chose not to serve the people, but to embark upon a journey of personal enrichment and tax cuts for his rich friends. He was and remains the antithesis of an American President. He sullied the reputation of the greatest power on earth, by making America the butt of cruel but justified jokes. Leaders of democratic nations did not trust or respect him, while America’s enemies queued up to massage his ego and exploit his narcissism for their own gain. His lust for attention and inability to form coherent sentences had the world rolling it’s eyes. When his moment came to prove he cared for the American people, his gross incompetence led to the unnecessary death of hundreds of thousands of those he was elected to protect. To put the icing on the dystopian cake, he refused to honor the will of the American people and incited an insurrection to remain in power. He was, is and will remain a clear and present danger to America until the cancer that he is, is removed from the political conversation. This is a long clip from Adam Schiff, but it perfectly encapsulates the state of Republican politics. #DemsAct #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #ONEV1 #FAM46

I know the truth can be very uncomfortable at times and sadly, the biggest single failing of America is its breathtaking arrogance when it comes to foreign and economic policy. There has never been a more important time to have a gold standard leader in the US. So what do Americans do? Decide to elect a fiscally irresponsible, foreign policy village idiot, whose agenda is being written by whoever gives him the biggest check at Mar a Largo. He is unbelievably deluded if he thinks he holds all the cards in this global game of poker. China sees him for what he is, all mouth and no substance. The leader of a fading superpower drowning in debt. An idiot with no moral compass, prepared to sell his county to the highest bidder, to enrich himself and stay out of jail. 🎥 TikTok -

Donald Trump announces the new Monroe Doctrine; the revamped version of rapacious US imperialism in Latin America. He also states that enforcing US dominance in the Western hemisphere is a core US foreign policy priority. The dominance means dominating everyone else. Accepting only vassalage and satrapy states. The US has calculated that it can’t save its position as the hegemon with the rise of Russia, China, and BRICS… Instead, it will turn all of the guns of its imperial arsenal, the strongest the world has ever known, towards Latin America. If Latin America is to escape the fate of being a satellite continent which is robbed of its resources by US corporations and be plunged into deeper inequality and poverty, unity against imperialism is the only salvation. If Latin American leaders can stand by and watch American missiles strike the capital of a sovereign state on their continent, and US troops kidnap the President because he refused to follow Washington’s orders, then they must realise that any one of them could be next. If the Latin American states which haven’t fallen to Washington’s proxies continue to not recognise this as an existential crisis that requires urgent unity and collective defence, then Latin America will fall completely to a new Operation Condor, and Latin America will be subjugated under, oppressive boot of Washington, which is more dangerous and desperate than ever.

GregGutfeld and Dana Perino lay out why the world sees Trump as a rock star “Greg: When you see Trump go abroad do you get the sense that to the rest of the planet he’s kind of a symbol of America? Cuz he kind of encapsulates all the personality, the optimism, the excitement of America when he goes where he goes… Dana: I do think that the receiving country certainly thinks that. That’s why sometimes when President Biden would get up there and try to talk and it was feeble, and unsure, it would be like ugh. That’s not us.”

❌No trust, no deal: What are Iran's terms to end war with US? A US signature on any deal “means nothing,” political analyst Seyed Mohammad Marandi tells Sputnik. He lays out the core of Iran’s distrust: The US tore up the Iran deal and “conspired to wage war” against Iran with Israel, so “there is nothing to negotiate.” 💬“The only way that this war will come to an end is when neighboring countries can no longer be a platform for US military aggression,” says the pundit. He adds that the sovereignty of Iran and its allies must be respected, and ceasefires in Lebanon and Gaza observed. This war will teach the US to never attack Iran again — while Israel will be forced to face the end of its era of genocidal impunity. 💬“If US hegemony comes to an end, this region will thrive like no other part of the world,” he concludes.

⚡️⭕️Benjamin H. Freedman - 1961 Speech at the Willard Hotel, Washington : - What I tell you now concerns not only you, but your children, and the survival of this country and Christianity - Senator Kennedy, who is now the president of the United States went to New York and delivered an address to the Zionist Organization of America. He stated that he would use the armed forces of the United States to preserve the existence of the regime set up in Palestine by the Zionists who are now an occupation of that area. In other words, Christian boys are going to be yanked out of their homes, away from their family and sent abroad to fight in Palestine, against the Christian and Muslim Arabs - When that happens, the United States will trigger World War 3 and when that starts, you can be sure we cannot emerge from that war a victor. - We are going to lose that war because there is not one nation in the world that will let one of their sons fight with us for such a cause

Zohran Mamdani caves again: "Maduro's government is one of repression, there's no question about it” And calls the leaders of Cuba🇨🇺 and Venezuela🇻🇪: "dictators who have stifled free and fair elections, jaled political opponents, and suppressed the free and fair press." Mamdani represents the segment of the left that parade themselves as ‘democratic socialists’, but then help manufacture the consent for Washington to continue attacking every socialist nation on Earth. None of these so-called ‘democratic socialists’ ever realise that these countries which have had successful socialist revolutions are put under siege by the US through campaigns of sabotage and regime change, to overthrow the socialist revolutions that occurred through mass mobilisation and popular uprisings. While the US’ ‘democratic socialists’ continue to achieve absolutely nothing meaningful and perpetually cave to elite power, facing the limits of the capitalist state system in the heart of the US empire… They attack the movements of countries that successfully managed to actually achieve something, giving Washington’s oligarchs and deep state even more justification to sabotage and crush these revolutions with an iron fist. These ‘democratic socialists’ then blame the leaders of these countries for the problems caused by being put under a state of siege by Washington. The whole point of these ‘democratic socialists’ from the point of view of Washington’s elites is to pacify revolutionary socialism and working class power, and present a watered-down, useless form of ‘socialism’ that disappoints the working class… And causes the working class to turn to reactionary right-wing politics wrapped in neoliberalism, which, in the end again serves the interest of US oligarchs to further concentrate the ownership of capital and national wealth, not only in the US, but around the world through military interventions, sabotage, and regime change.

Pope Leo reflects on the Resurrection, the 'very source of our faith and hope': "With great meekness, Jesus appears to the disciples to restore communion and manifest his love, which surpasses betrayal, wounds and even death. As a sign of this love, Jesus gives the Apostles two gifts: his peace and the Holy Spirit. “Peace be with you” he says as he shows them his wounds. This is done not to shame those who abadoned him, but to assure them of his forgiveness and love, and to teach them that his death on the cross has been transformed into a sign of hope. In the giving of the Holy Spirit, Jesus entrusts the Apostles with the task of being his instruments in the world. This lesson is important for each of us: God forgives us, he raises us up, and sends us out anew. May we too be joyful witnesses of the resurrection by bringing the peace, hope and love of Christ to a broken world."

#WATCH | Washington, DC | White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says, "...The president's message has been simple and consistent from the beginning to countries around the world... America does not need other countries as much as other countries need us, and President Trump knows this...On the other hand, countries like China, which have chosen to retaliate and try to double down on their mistreatment of American workers, are making a mistake. President Trump has a spine of steel, and he will not break, and America will not break under his leadership. He is guided by a firm belief that America must be able to produce essential goods for our people and export them to the rest of the world. A strong America cannot be solely dependent on foreign countries for our food, medicines, and critical minerals, and America must always maintain a robust defence supply chain. Reprioritizing and strengthening our manufacturing industry are essential national and economic security issues of the utmost importance to President Trump. By focusing on supercharging the onshoring of American manufacturing, the president is already delivering on his promise to usher in an economic golden age for our country..."

FIDEL WARNED US! CONSUMERISM WILL DESTROY THE PLANET Fidel Castro died on this day in 2016. People remember him for many things, but one thing is undeniable. He was the man who led the struggle that brought down the US-backed Batista dictatorship, a regime that turned Cuba into a holiday playground for Miami elites. At the same time, Black Cubans lived under something close to apartheid. And he didn't stop there. Castro also played a significant role in the liberation of southern Africa by sending tens of thousands of Cuban soldiers to Angola, around 36,000 at the height, helping to break the military power of the South African apartheid regime and pushing it towards collapse. But Castro wasn't just a military leader. He was a thinker who constantly questioned the world we live in and the myths that hold it together. More than 30 years ago, he asked a simple question that still hits hard today. What would happen if everyone in Africa, Latin America, and China owned a car? He wasn't scared of development. He was afraid of what unchecked capitalism and endless consumerism were doing to the planet and humanity's future. In this clip, he breaks down how the global system is built on extraction and consumption with zero concern for the Earth's limits. His point was simple. Consumerism is destroying the planet. And today, with more than 1.4 billion cars on the road, choking cities, polluting the air, and draining the resources future generations will need to survive, his warning feels more relevant than ever. Castro never denied the Global South its right to develop. What he exposed was a model that convinces us that life is about owning more than we need, even if that mindset burns the planet to the ground.

Russian warmonger and huge supporter of Putin Okhlobystin outlined the Kremlin's intentions: "Russia is an empire, and any empire strives for expansion. And there will be no rest for us until Russia establishes its protectorate over the entire planet. This mission was entrusted to us by God himself, along with the Byzantine coat of arms and the greatness of the third Rome. That is why we are called the God-bearing people." He sounds like a lunatic. But deep down, that is what Russia wants - to be a global superpower, to be a major player. This is what Putin wants and what he doesn't hesitate to kill hundreds of thousands of his people for. If he is not stopped, if he succeeds, he will continue.

A socialist wants to run New York City; one of the financial capitals of the world. He says he doesn't like capitalism. He says billionaires shouldn't exist. He says the end goal is seizing the means of production. Capitalism is what built America. It’s what built New York. You don’t fix a city by tearing down the very system that made it great. It’s wild this is who democrats choose to represent them.

Enjoy this video of Neville Singham addressing an audience of Chinese nationals as “comrades” as he rails against the American system and calls for “a new world order that is based on multilateralism that President Xi and the CPC and China have proposed.” This man is a Marxist. Full stop. And yet, he funds one of the most influential nonprofit networks here in the United States to the tune of $278 million—all from his comfortable perch in Shanghai. When Singham isn’t calling for the overthrow of “fascism” and US “imperialism,” his network is fighting tooth and nail to oppose the buildout of American AI. Are you starting to see how this works?

Andrei Tarkovsky on Ingmar Bergman's Shame (1968): "Let us look at Bergman's Shame. The film doesn't contain a single 'actor's piece' for the performer to 'give away' the director's purpose, to play the conception of the persona, his attitude to it, to assess it in relation to the overall idea; and the latter is entirely hidden within the dynamic of the characters' lives, at one with it. The people in the film are crushed by circumstances; they act only in accordance with their situation, to which they themselves are subordinate; they make no attempt to proffer us any idea, any perspective on what is happening, or to draw any conclusion. All of that is left to the film as a whole, to the director's vision. And how superbly it is accomplished! You cannot say in simple terms who amongst them is good or bad. I could never say that von Sydow is a bad man. They are all partly good and partly bad, each in his own way. No judgements are passed, because there is no hint of tendentiousness in any of the actors, and the circumstances of the film are used by the director to explore the human possibilities which they test, and not for a moment in order to illustrate a thesis. Max von Sydow's character is developed with masterly power. He is a very good man; a musician; kind and sensitive. It turns out that he is a coward. But by no means every bold man is a good human being, and cowards are not always scoundrels. Of course, he is weak and irresolute. His wife is far stronger than he, so much so that she can overcome her fear. The hero lacks that strength. He is tormented by his own weakness, vulnerability, lack of resilience; he tries to hide, to cower in a corner, not to see and not to hear; and he does this like a child, naively and with complete sincerity. But when circumstances nevertheless force him to defend himself, he instantly turns into a scoundrel. He loses all that was best in him; but the drama and absurdity of his situation is that as he is now he becomes necessary to his wife, who, in her turn, looks to him for protection and succour instead of despising him as she always had. When he beats her about the face and says 'Get out!' she goes crawling after him. There is something here of the age-old idea of passive good and active evil; but its expression is immensely complex. At the beginning of the film the hero cannot even kill a chicken, but as soon as he has found a way of defending himself he becomes a cruel cynic. He has something of Hamlet: my view is that the Prince of Denmark perishes not as a result of the duel, when he dies physically, but immediately after the 'rat' scene, when he understands how irreversible are those laws of life which have forced him, a man of humanity and intellect, to act like the inferior people who inhabit Elsinore. Von Sydow is now a sinister character, afraid of nothing: he kills; will not raise a finger to save his fellows; pursues only his own interests. The point is that you have to be a person of great integrity to feel fear in the face of the foul necessity to kill and humiliate. And by shedding that fear and apparently acquiring courage, a person in fact loses his spiritual strength and intellectual honesty and parts from his innocence. War is the obvious catalyst for the cruel, anti-human elements in people. Bergman uses the war in this film exactly as he uses the heroine's illness in Through a Glass Darkly: to explore his view of man." — "Sculpting in Time" by Andrei Tarkovsky (translated by Kitty Hunter-Blair, 1987)

All of that is left to the film as a whole, to the director's vision. And how superbly it is accomplished! You cannot say in simple terms who amongst them is good or bad. I could never say that von Sydow is a bad man. They are all partly good and partly bad, each in his own way. No judgements are passed, because there is no hint of tendentiousness in any of the actors, and the circumstances of the film are used by the director to explore the human possibilities which they test, and not for a moment in order to illustrate a thesis. Max von Sydow's character is developed with masterly power. He is a very good man; a musician; kind and sensitive. It turns out that he is a coward. But by no means every bold man is a good human being, and cowards are not always scoundrels. Of course, he is weak and irresolute. His wife is far stronger than he, so much so that she can overcome her fear. The hero lacks that strength. He is tormented by his own weakness, vulnerability, lack of resilience; he tries to hide, to cower in a corner, not to see and not to hear; and he does this like a child, naively and with complete sincerity. But when circumstances nevertheless force him to defend himself, he instantly turns into a scoundrel. He loses all that was best in him; but the drama and absurdity of his situation is that as he is now he becomes necessary to his wife, who, in her turn, looks to him for protection and succour instead of despising him as she always had. When he beats her about the face and says 'Get out!' she goes crawling after him. There is something here of the age-old idea of passive good and active evil; but its expression is immensely complex. At the beginning of the film the hero cannot even kill a chicken, but as soon as he has found a way of defending himself he becomes a cruel cynic. He has something of Hamlet: my view is that the Prince of Denmark perishes not as a result of the duel, when he dies physically, but immediately after the 'rat' scene, when he understands how irreversible are those laws of life which have forced him, a man of humanity and intellect, to act like the inferior people who inhabit Elsinore. Von Sydow is now a sinister character, afraid of nothing: he kills; will not raise a finger to save his fellows; pursues only his own interests. The point is that you have to be a person of great integrity to feel fear in the face of the foul necessity to kill and humiliate. And by shedding that fear and apparently acquiring courage, a person in fact loses his spiritual strength and intellectual honesty and parts from his innocence. War is the obvious catalyst for the cruel, anti-human elements in people. Bergman uses the war in this film exactly as he uses the heroine's illness in Through a Glass Darkly: to explore his view of man." — "Sculpting in Time" by Andrei Tarkovsky (translated by Kitty Hunter-Blair, 1987)
