  • They are human beings, these are human behaviors, and it’s not “no true human would…” Of course they would, and easily, too. My only point was to highlight differences in our concepts of wealth, and theirs.

    Entire Royal families have been terminated for having less relative wealth to the workers than todays ruling class.

    Indeed.

    The very wealthy do shop at warehouse clubs, Walmart, etc. You won’t see them being walking advertisements for clothing lines, either. They do buy quality clothing, but they aren’t overtly branded, unless they’re casual, work or sports clothing. They may drive nice cars, many will own a regular 90s model Pontiac or something. They also don’t plan their money for years, rather in centuries. There’s a difference in behavior and attitude between old money and nuveau riche, as well.





  • Before that, on 17 May 2011, the Israeli foreign ministry released a statement saying that “lawyers in the UK have formed a new group called UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI).” It since appears to have been removed from the ministry’s website. Turner told MEE: “We are an independent organisation and are not linked to the Israeli government.” Of the 2012 seminar, he said: “It was an excellent seminar, with distinguished speakers and very informative.”… UKLFI earlier this month wrote to the British government threatening legal action unless it reverses its decision to suspend 30 out of 350 arms licences to Israel. Jonathan Turner, who is still the CEO of UKLFI, publicly called the Labour government’s move a “political decision to appease members of the public who hate Israel based on misinformation and biased media coverage of the war. As such, it was a misuse of the power granted by the legislation”.

    Lol. “Antisemites!”








  • It’s really hard to list any news sources that I don’t read with a few kilos of salt. DN! seems one of the more trustworthy, and Amy Goodman makes it work on a very slim budget; and for that reason, she’s simply not able to cover everything, and maybe that’s good, because it gives us time to really think about what they publish. I can tell you the only reason I miss TV is for local coverage, and even then, it’s also best taken with a few kilos of salt.
