The political system in the west is broken beyond repair and the official narrative is getting absurd. I recently published a article about EU’s moral decline in the context of conflict in Ukraine.
That antisemitism law is so vague because it’s based on a list of guidelines from the holocaust remembrance society, Which was never intended as law. It’s insane that it’s being used that way. The author was afraid of this happening
<< Vladimir Putin says Russia will order a ceasefire and enter peace talks if Ukraine drops its Nato ambitions and withdraws its forces from four Ukrainian regions claimed by Moscow. >>
Realistically, does anyone believe the Ukrainians can achieve anything more than that? They will never regain Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia, and the Crimea was historically never Ukrainian until Kruschev placed it under their control. [This was probably a "peace offering," given after the famine, which may or may not have been genocide engineered by Stalin: https://www.history.com/news/ukrainian-famine-stalin.] Let's see:
(1) The war ends. (2) Russian troops withdraw from the regions they recognize as part of Ukraine. (3) The Ukrainians begin to rebuild their nation, which will be 14-15% smaller and neutral (non-NATO), but far bigger economically than it will be while the war continues.
Yes, they'll lose territory, but so have many other nations over the course of European history. What can they hope to gain if the war continues?
I typed out a really long comment... then hit "load more comments" and bam its gone... its happened a few times... I sent an email to Substack support so we'll see if they can change that behavior...
Long comment short... I enjoy reading this more than listening to Up First! Love the take on it and imo the only thing the Goddess missed is that we need people like you in political office of some kind! That's how the system can change... It takes 5-10% of the people to be passionate about it and the world can change.
Hi Diana .. Check out the argument of Holocaust, one that happened, for over 300 years in North and South America. While it has nothing to do with the WW2 holocaust, it does give us a much better understanding that the Holocaust is not exclusive to the Jews and Non-Aryan minorities of Europe. Ward Churchill is a leading academic and historian of the greater Holocaust.
Thank you for sharing.

Excellent conversation, Diana. Love the artwork.
Thanks so much, Heidi!
This creativity cuts through at an extra level. Sticks better, somehow.
Glad to hear it, Peter! It was fun to write.

Love the term gaslit haze too.
So are created 'laws' to protect a tabboo: thought and speech restrictions.
The antidote: free speech. Without restrictions.
