Biden-Harris and the pro-war Cheney Republicans, Stein and Ware are coming to NC in October and other events, and more on the war in West Asia

Harris' 'nothing will fundamentally change' moment?

A Stein-Ware 2024 campaign email sent out October 13th in the evening:

Kamala is a Dick Cheney Democrat

[ ],

As you know, last week Stein/Ware made history by being the first Green campaign to inspire the DNC and their handpicked candidate, Kamala Harris to release an attack ad against Jill. You probably know that they’re whining about Jill allegedly getting help from Republicans. But for all their lies and fear-mongering, it’s Kamala who can’t stop bragging about her 200+ Republican endorsements, including one of the most diabolical warmongers of the 21st century, Dick Cheney.

On a recent appearance on The View, Kamala was asked what she would have done differently than Joe Biden. Her initial response was that she couldn’t think of a single thing she’d have changed; certainly the fates of hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children being slaughtered by U.S. bombs in Gaza for over a year didn’t cross her mind. In fact she makes clear that she played a hands-on role in “most of the decisions that had impact.” But later she stated that there’s one thing she does intend to do differently – she’ll appoint a Republican to her cabinet!

If her embrace of the right-wing Republican Party wasn’t obvious enough for voters to grasp, she doubled down on it on Friday when she posted on X of her intention to “create a bipartisan council of advisors to give feedback on policy and inform (her) administration.” Because, she claims: “Our democracy needs a healthy two-party system.”

Our democracy isn’t healthy, and neither is the two-party system. A healthy democracy would offer robust choices for the people. Instead the anti-Democratic Party has fought us tooth and nail at every turn – from lawfare to overturn ballot access successes, to withholding our matching funds during a critical moment in our ballot access efforts, to siccing their attack dogs on Jill and Butch, and now sinking millions into a slanderous ad to bully people out of exercising their democratic right to vote for who they want. According to Kamala Harris herself, the biggest difference between her and Joe Biden is that she’s promising to govern even further to the right than he has!

Michael, we have just weeks to go to let the voters know that there’s a choice that represents their needs and their values. Give what you can today to make sure we can get the word out everywhere that the people have the choice to vote their humanity with Stein/Ware:

[Donate button]

They can lie about Jill and Butch aiding the Republicans, but there’s a reason they never talk about our policies compared to the dirty duopoly candidates. The Green platform for people, planet, and peace exposes just how similar the Democrats and Republicans really are. Jill and Butch will cut off all aid and weapons to Israel on day one until they end the genocide and the apartheid. They will fight for Medicare for All, a real Green New Deal, a $25 minimum wage, and housing as a human right. Stein/Ware are the only real opposition to both sides of the corporate duopoly that, if Kamala has her way, will ultimately morph into just one corrupt party to rule over us.

Thank you for all you do to power up this movement. Together we can turn the White House into a Green House.

In solidarity and gratitude,

Team Stein/Ware 2024

It feel relatively spring-like the morning of October 14th and it was relatively mild over the weekend, but I think it will become much cooler later on the 14th.  The amphibians seemed more active at night.  Some mid-level clouds passed over early in the morning, and maybe that was due to a front coming through.  Around 7am I heard a yellow-bellied sapsucker and I might have heard a white-throated sparrow.  Both species only overwinter in this area.

[October 14, 1949 in New York 11 members of the CPUSA leadership were sentenced to years in prison under the Smith Act, and their legal team was sentenced to up to six months in prison for contempt of court.  The WSWS has to note that the leadership of the Trotskyist SWP had been in 1941, without protest from the "Stalinist" CP:  www.wsws.org/en/articles/2024/10/14/nfyl-o14.html  Either way, the Democratic and Republican parties today seem to want to go back to the criminalization of speech in 1949, 1917, and 1798.]

A drone hit a cafeteria at a military base in northern (?) Israel on the 13th or 14th.  The death toll has risen to four on NPR, with many injured (BBC), but this article claims that far more were killed.  I think a former US intelligence agent interviewed on the BBC speculated that the drone could have come from Shia guerrillas in Iraq. -- mpr21.info/duro-golpe-de-hezbollah-a-la-cupula-del-ejercito-israeli/  They don't treat it as war when it is Israeli soldiers being hit, and Israel's military casualties are being kept quiet or covered up, but it is just regrettable or even good when Lebanese, Palestinians, Syrians, Iraqis, Yemenis, Iranians, and UN peacekeepers (from many countries) are harmed.  They come closer to admitting that it is a war with two sides in reporting from Ukraine.  I just heard Steve Inskeep say that Hezbollah "claimed" the attack, as if it weren't a legitimate military action during a war.  They don't treat Israel's attacks on civilians and peacekeepers, or Ukraine's alleged covert operations against civilians and civilian infrastructure, or US government "airstrikes" in countries we aren't at war with as terroristic or illegitimate.  They were leading into a story about Israel's potential (and 'legitimate,' definitely not widening the war) retaliation against Iran, for its allegedly ineffectual missile salvo, True Promise II.

NPR's Danielle Kurtz-Leben (?) anti-Trump, but covering his campaign, admitted October 14th that many or at least some in Harris' "base" are "irritated" by Harris' strategy of appealing to Cheney-type anti-Trump Republicans.  

NPR highlighted internal TikTok documents, inadvertently released by a court (in Kentucky?), that make the company look bad (because it began in China?).  Can using social media really produce "addiction" like a drug, and with a quantifiable exposure time?  The morning of the 14th they almost admitted that it is questionable to claim that the concept of addiction covers social media use.  What of Blogger?

The BBC says that the media vacuum left without its many foreign language services is being filled by the 'duplicitous' Russians and Chinese, and I think there was something about the alleged lack of media freedom in many markets.  Here both Democrats and the Republicans are hostile to legal opposition free speech [Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Donald Trump, Republicans in the House of Representatives and the NC General Assembly, UNC's administration, and many others], especially if it criticizes their wars.  In addition an American journalist was recently arrested in Israel, probably to intimidate opposition media, and when I last heard, he was free, but prohibited from leaving the country [Jeremy Loffredo of The Grayzone remains in Israeli custody, though he was reporting the same information as PBS, etc.? -- mronline.org/2024/10/14/washington-keeps-silent-after-israel-arrests-u-s-journalist-over-report-on-iran-attack/ ].  Police raided a small town newspaper in Marion County, Kansas (?) not long ago, leading to the elderly owner's death [the Marion County Record was raided August 11, 2023:  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marion_County_Record ].  I've been commenting on the Chapel Hill Public Library's newspaper bans.

Around 100 US soldiers operating a THAAD air defense system battery are to be openly deployed to Israel ("integrated with" Israel's US-supported air defense system, a former Marine officer told the BBC; there won't be a general war, he claims) -- so it can attack Iran with impunity (assuming that THAAD works as intended)?  Israel has been accused of invading a UNIFIL peacekeeper base in Lebanon, using a non-lethal chemical weapon against them, firing on a peacekeeper base and injuring personnel, sending in drones, etc.  Not a rogue commander now?  If I'm not mistaken, Lebanese soldiers, in theory not a party to the allegedly limited 'Israel-Hezbollah' conflict, have been killed already, and many Lebanese civilians, probably of many religious faiths, have been killed.  Over the decades Israel has been willing to kill US military personnel and civilians, and the US government allowed it. 

[The true realities of the THAAD deployment? --  sonar21.com/thaad-aint-so-good/ ]

On the morning of the 14th they mentioned that a study claims that politically isolated people, people who differ from the "political norm in their state," have a higher risk of contracting physical illnesses.  The point of the story is dialogue, without labelling, in your social circle?

Thousands have been arrested in Jordan over the war, October 9th the US banned former Ecuadoran president Rafael Correa and former vice president Jorge Glas over "corruption."  George W Bush-like foreign policy under Biden-Harris?  It's like 2003 abroad, but relatively quiet here, like in 2008 or 2011?? -- popularresistance.org/jordanian-authorities-arrest-thousands-in-year-since-october-7/ , popularresistance.org/global-south-denounces-genocide-in-gaza-nicaragua-breaks-relations-with-israel/ , popularresistance.org/us-government-announces-entry-ban-on-rafael-correa/ ,

Breaking: Massacre in Gaza, Israel Burns Palestinians Alive

For Immediate Release

ADC Contact: media[at adc org]

 

Washington, D.C. | www.adc.org | October 13, 2024 - A short while ago Israeli occupation forces launched multiple air attacks, dropping bombs on and around the Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Baha. The bombings have resulted in an ongoing massacre, as graphic images and pictures show Palestinians being burned alive. Many of the victims are patients at the hospital, and all are displaced Palestinians seeking safety. A few hours prior to this massacre, Israel bombed the Al-Mufti school which was sheltering displaced Palestinians. The school bombing has killed at least 19 people so far, including a baby. 

 

As the genocide and massacres continue, Israel’s unrestrained and calculated brutality against Palestinians and as the besiegement of northern Gaza starts its 10th day of starvation and mass killing, the Israeli regime and its enablers have reached new levels of depravity. Civilians, hospitals, schools, and vital infrastructure are being systematically obliterated, in direct contravention of international laws meant to protect human life. The world is witnessing a humanitarian catastrophe that the Israeli government is perpetrating with clear impunity.

 

The United States is directly responsible for the unfolding massacre at the Al-Aqsa Hospital, and for all the lives lost during this genocide. By continuing to provide unlimited tactical support, vast military aid to Israel and political and diplomatic cover, the U.S. government is not only enabling, but also coordinating and helping execute these atrocities. The Biden-Harris administration’s refusal to intervene decisively to halt Israel’s genocide in Gaza has exposed a willingness to ignore justice, human rights, and the value of human life itself. This reckless disregard for all Palestinian lives has only fueled further violence and emboldened Israel to continue its genocidal march into Lebanon - where thousands have been killed, many more injured, and millions displaced. 

 

A majority of the country and world collectively demands the U.S. government take immediate and definitive action to halt Israel’s genocide, end its support for this brutal occupation and dismantle the apartheid system. Gaza, the West Bank and all of Palestine is in an existential struggle. It is time for the U.S. to recognize its role in this ongoing tragedy and to use its influence to end the bloodshed and hold Israel accountable. 

 

We will continue to demand an immediate halt to this genocide, and an immediate arms embargo of U.S. aid to Israel that enables Israel's aggression. The world has united in unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian and Lebanese people. We demand accountability, justice, and an end to the this carnage once and for all.

 

Take a moment now and send a message  to your elected official demanding an immediate end to the genocide, and an arms embargo. Your activism is working, we are seeing members of Congress take a principled position after hearing from you. We need to keep pushing, click the link and take action .
