Fixing The Violence As Best As One Can
By Sally Dugman
Ahmed, a Rohingya refugee man cries as he holds his 40-day-old son, who died as a boat capsized in the shore of Shah Porir Dwip while crossing ...
One of my friends has lived his whole life in Bangladesh. He was in the middle of having a shock to his soul or his sensibilities (if one doesn't believe in a soul) due to having been invited to write an assessment for "ROHINGYA: Bangladesh Mission Report."
Yes, it is hard to bear witness. It is hard to endure suffering and loss on behalf of others. One has to brace oneself and toughly steel up so as to not disassemble at having to bear witness at the extreme pain experienced by others. So he pulled himself forward, and was trying to stay whole and focused on his task while at Cox's Bazaar, southeast Bangladesh, near the border with Myanmar.
Part of the way that he kept himself intact was to simply focus on interviews of people and report writing. He tried to keep himself at bay from an overwhelming emotional response to the deep and abidingly relentless pain of these others, the refugees, surrounding him.
The MAGA Revolution Is Being Rolled Back by the Ruling Establishment
Paul Craig Roberts
American judges appointed by Democrats have stopped the Trump administration from deporting illegal entrants into the US
The American Farm Bureau Federation says it will not stop its profit-maximizing ways for the sake of the health of the American people.
Big Pharma says it will not stop vaccinating children to death and illness. Or our pet animals.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., says he is leaving a root cause of ill health alone because “There’s a million farmers who rely on glyphosate, 100 percent of corn in this country relies on glyphosate, and we are not going to do anything to jeopardize that business model.”
Civilization and Its Hypnotic Inversion: The Rise and Fall of Human Progress Re: Gaza
Ned Lud
Foreword: A Mirror Without Distortion
We are not living through a war. We are living through a ritual sacrifice of children. One where civilization itself-its memory, its institutions, its ethical spine-is being sacrificed on the altar of technological power and theological delusion. The razing of Gaza is not a tactical campaign but a civilizational indictment: a mirror without distortion, in which the world stares, hypnotized, at its own inversion.
Think of Gaza as a Hormel or Armour slaughterhouse, with cattle prods and cruel devices to dispatch the prey, only substitute little children being pushed through the chutes.
This is not a religious critique, nor a racial tirade. It is a forensic dissection of a global psychosis, wherein the very concepts that once defined human progress-science, ethics, reason, philosophy-have been turned inside out and redeployed as instruments of annihilation. Lavender AI does not merely kill; it categorizes souls by algorithm, delegitimizes innocence by code, and automates genocide with the sterile detachment of a Silicon Messiah.

Unbelievable—The Utterly Unacceptable And Immoral Behavior of Netanyahu And Trump!
By Sally Dugman
I’m thoroughly shocked and appalled. I can barely believe my eyes and ears that Bibi Netanyahu, finally, “let the cat out of the bag”, and honestly fessed up about the truth that all along he and some of his cohorts planned a genocide for the Palestinians to rid the land (rightfully belonging to them and passed down generation after generation of ancestors of them) so that thieving Bibi and Israeli supporters once and for all can steal Gaza and more for Israeli ownership.
Big Tobacco on Wheels: How the SUV Industry Became the New Phillip Morris
Cathy Smith
"I’ve pronounced six kids this year with the same injury: crushed thoraxes from SUV grilles. Their height lines up perfectly with the bumper."
—Dr. Elena Martinez, Trauma Surgeon, UCLA Medical Center
There was a time when tobacco companies were the villains of American capitalism — peddling poison, silencing whistleblowers, and marketing carcinogens to children. But the Marlboro Men are dead. Their legacy, however, is not. It has been inherited, rebranded, and outfitted with leather interiors and a seven-year payment plan. Welcome to the SUV-industrial complex — the new Phillip Morris of our time.
If you think that sounds extreme, you haven’t been paying attention. SUVs kill more people than cigarettes did in their heyday — just not all at once. They murder slowly, publicly, and with plausible deniability. Behind each polished ad campaign, behind every rugged “Built for the Wild” slogan, lies a death toll, a gasping planet, and an army of Madison Avenue psychologists who know exactly how to sell you the illusion of power.
The Digital Dystopia of Death: How Israel's Talpiot Program Automates Genocidal Logic

In the shadow of an increasingly-serious technological singularity, the once-evasive specter of genocide has been honed and maximized by machines that are no longer dependent on human impulse to commit genocide. Those were the days when death was engaged with by the fists of soldiers to the drum of anger or hatred. Extermination is outsourced to algorithms now. The Talpiot Program, Israel's best military tech talent pipeline, is the fulcrum of this lethal shift-turning the science of war into an assembly line, algorithmic process in carrying out death. It's no tale of battlefields littered with bodies. It's the calculating calm of a system that deploys death on purpose. It doesn't kill by accident, nor in reprisal-it kills as a matter of efficiency.
"The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it." Albert Einstein.
Domestic Violence Is Part of What War Creates
By David Swanson, World BEYOND War
As Stacy Bannerman has been telling us for decades, the U.S. military has a domestic violence problem. So do some other — and I strongly suspect all — militaries.
The Pentagon has long known about the significantly increased risk of domestic violence by combat-exposed troops, yet has failed to properly inform military members or their families, and has violated laws mandating reporting on the problem.
This lack of transparency and breach of legal responsibilities has left thousands of spouses, children, caregivers, parents, partners, and veterans dead, injured, suffering emotional distress and damages, and often struggling in silence without the resources or support they should have.
Lies, Truth and Morality
By Sally Dugman
Lawrence Kohlberg
What can be very interesting Is to look at yourself and others who you fairly well know and find out where you and they stand on the stages. It will well explain your family members, others and yourself. Why, it can even be used to define Modi and Trump, for instance. So you may wish to check out the link and materials at the bottom of this writing to get the information that, unfortunately, excludes the seventh set of data.
The Sacrifice of Innocents: Gaza, Divine Wrath, and the Gospel of Collateral Devastation
Ned Lud
I. The Righteous Indignation of the Goliaths Burning Gaza
In the shadow of a thousand warheads, under the weight of a whole history in blood and in scripture, Gaza rises as the altar of Moloch, its charred earth a sacrilegious altar for the new gods of algorithmic empire. What is it to speak of war and not speak to its holy hypocrisy - when scripture, sanctified by centuries of suffering, is wielded as a tool of power, manipulation, and destruction? It is here, where holy decree meets human savagery, that the sacredness of life is tainted and the sanctimony of empire is seen in all its destructive ferocity.
The Torah, once a moral guide, is now being exploited as a piece in the cynical game of power - bent to consecrate murder rather than consecrating peace. With every prayer recited in the name of God, with every appeal to justice, there is a sanctimonious irony: The innocent blood flows in Gaza, while the devout recite Psalms on the lips with which they bless their destruction. This is not the tongue of salvation. This is the tongue of sacrifice - not the righteousness now demanded, as of yore, by the Divine, but the ritual murder of the innocent. In this lamentable travesty, it is not the golden calves of Scripture, but the unclean machinery of war, equipped with high-technology precision, that now supplants the will of God.
