Analysis: "Election 2024: How Billionaire Avengers Destroyed Democracy" "No matter what the public wants, no matter the outcome of elections, the oligarchs almost always win.

If Republican voters see their win as it's fine for billionaires to buy elections, & dems think they just have to find more billionaires, "then we’re sealing our fate."

Unmissable interview Col Lawrence Wilkerson on the potentially disastrous outcome for the US of a US-Israel war against Iran. As a US ally, Israel is "a total liability. A strategic liability of the first order. And right now, they're the greatest strategic liability we have." And on Israel being intent on starting a war with Iran, this is "where Trump really worries me—doing everything in his power for Israel," says Wilkerson.

Analysis: Why is Germany working so hard to ensure no one speaks against Israel’s conduct in Gaza? The answer lies in Germany’s history – but not its attempts to atone for the Nazi Holocaust. Germany was never fully de-Nazified. It never attempted to come to terms with the politics that led to the rise of Hitler. De-Nazification was soon abandoned, overtaken by the Cold War - the need to oppose the Soviet Union.
