There were celebrations across Tel Aviv last night as AIPAC candidate Ed Gallrein defeated Thomas Massie in the Kentucky primary. As a result of his victory, we can rest assured that no Republican will dare question Israel again. On the contrary, they will send America’s sons and daughters to fight in the next dumb war that Netanyahu demands. It truly is a great day for grassroots democracy.
Massie was something almost unheard of in US politics — a Republican with integrity. He would actually read bills and do his fucking job, instead of being told how to vote by donors. There was major concern that his whole “integrity” thing could resonate with voters who insist they are fed up with establishment politics, but it turns out Republicans aren’t ready for someone who is anti-paedophile. They wouldn’t want to be seen as woke, would they?
It’s fair to say that victory did not come cheap for the Epstein class. In the most expensive democracy money can buy, the Little St James gang spent a record $32 million on Kentucky. Fortunately, they can expect a 1,000,000% return on investment in terms of weapons packages supplied by people with no healthcare.
Just know that it’s antisemitic to say the Israel lobby exists so please use the politically correct term: “the Epstein lobby”. The Epstein lobby is composed of pro-Israel community groups who love democracy, and billionaires who kindly send millions to political candidates, but expect nothing in return. It’s truly the most philanthropic network in the US so anyone who disobeys it must be punished.
Ed Gallrein said his primary opponent “had it coming”, describing his victory as “revenge for the Epstein Files Transparency Act”. He went on to explain that Americans deserve better than someone who is opposed to paedophilia and endless wars — and soon they will have the congressman they deserve: one who represents… Israel.
Massie was far from gracious in his response, saying he would have conceded earlier, but he was trying to locate his opponent in Tel Aviv. This was intended as a jibe against the man who is performing the ritual of tongue-kissing a wall before starting his job. If Massie had rubbed his erection against that wall, he probably wouldn’t be in this mess, but he thought he knew better…
“I vote with the Republicans 91% of the time,” Massie said. “The 9% of the time my party is taking up for paedophiles, bankrupting this country or starting another war, I don’t vote with them. They want 100% compliance. That’s why they’re trying to take me out.”
Trump responded that he doesn’t think Massie is a “real Republican” and called him a “Dumbocrat”, explaining he has been a “nightmare” to work with. It was understandable criticism from a president who is only concerned about the wellbeing of his people. Massie’s meddling caused so much stress for the DOJ’s redactions team who admirably worked around the clock for months. In the end, the job proved too big and several of Trump’s friends were unfairly exposed by the release of the Epstein files.
I think we can all agree that Massie is lucky that he was only unseated. The guy calling for the FARA registration of AIPAC could easily have received the JFK treatment. If he keeps talking about a presidential run, he might yet get it. Israel simply will not allow the US to have a president who does not act in its interests. The “greatest nation on earth” has been colonised by a tiny settler colony and needs to know its place.Clio the cat, ?July 1997-1 May 2016 Kira the cat, ??2010-3 August 2018 Jasper the Ruffian cat ???-4 November 2021 Georgina the cat ?2006-4 December 2025 Toni the cat ?2005-25 March 2026
Thomas Massie has lost his congressional seat against a primary opponent whose Israel lobby funding made the race the most expensive House of Representatives primary in history. Massie has been a rare Republican opponent of Israeli abuses on Capitol Hill.
The spending on Massie’s ouster topped out at a staggering $32 million when all was said and done. The second- and third-most expensive House primary races were also heavily slanted by Israel lobby funding, with AIPAC pouring millions into toppling progressive Democrats Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman.
Americans just watched the Israel lobby openly manipulate yet another election, and then in like two weeks they’re going to hear their government tell them they need to regime change another foreign country to bring “democracy” to its people. Americans themselves do not have democracy.
The ceasefire with Iran is tenuous and could end at any time. Washington is currently drumming up ridiculously transparent pretexts to justify attacking Cuba. And you just know as soon as the bombs start falling on whatever country they’re going to fall on, Americans will be told this is a good thing because it will bring freedom and democracy to whatever population is getting ripped apart by military explosives.
It’s just so silly how often the US propaganda machine bangs on about “democracy” while vast fortunes are poured into slanting the American electoral process to advance the agendas of plutocrats and special interest groups.
Let’s bring democracy to the Iraqi people! Oh no, the Russians are interfering in our democracy!
And meanwhile nothing of the sort actually exists in America. When the elections go toward whoever can afford to spend the most on manipulating and deceiving the public into voting their way, that’s not democracy. That’s plutocracy.
The rich buy up news outlets and social media platforms, pour funding into think tanks and lobby groups, and sponsor the primary campaigns of anyone who disagrees with them, and in so doing they are able to exert enough influence to get the public to vote in whatever way advances their agendas.
That’s why Americans have a joke of a minimum wage and no normal healthcare system. It’s why corporations are allowed to exploit the working class and pollute the environment without consequence. It’s why AI is being shoved down our throats with zero regulation while it consumes our clean water and takes our jobs. And it’s why American-made bombs are still falling in Lebanon and Gaza.
The rich and powerful are going to keep doing this until they are made to stop. They’re going to keep using their wealth and influence to manipulate public behavior until people stop allowing them to. You can’t vote this problem away, because they control the votes.
Forget about bringing democracy to Cuba. Try bringing democracy to the United States.The corporate media are complicit in the Gaza genocide. Never forget what they did. Never forgive them for it.
