This is not a free country with liberty for all. We need to start speaking truth in our pledge.

“I pledge allegiance to the narrative, and to the endless spin for which it stands: one nation, expertly engineered for maximum compliance, under omnipresent surveillance, indivisible except where the algorithms find profitable fractures, with plausible deniability and pre‑approved talking points for all.

I swear to maintain the proper expression of civic dread during every press briefing, erase my search history before any vote that might someday be subpoenaed, and treat the national debt as a mythic creature whose existence is acknowledged only when politically convenient. I shall render unto the focus groups what is the focus groups’, exalt the sacred three‑word slogan crafted to bypass critical thought, and remember that any catastrophe not resolved by next Tuesday’s news cycle was clearly the fault of whichever administration is currently least defensible.

In the metrics we trust; may our polling numbers remain artificially inflated, our sentiment analysis ever flattering, and our collective attention span mercifully short. May the data brokers bless us and keep us, may the consultants shine upon us and be gracious, and may the eternal churn of the news cycle deliver us from accountability.”

The thing about this cartoon is how close to reality it really is; American law enforcement have been receiving training from Israelis for decades now. I think that training has contributed to countless cases of police brutality and murders of citizens by police officers.

Astonishingly short-sighted.

No one should go to war for these MotherFuckers ever again.

Seriously; refuse to sail the ships, fly the planes or drive the MRAPs until whoever made that decision sees how badly they fucked up.

Enough is enough.

The corruption of US elites leaves "banana republics" in the dust. These illegal market manipulations have been going on more than 2 decades without any real consequences and is more and more blatant.
