@BBCWorldatOne and so many others. “You call them ‘Prisoners’, the rest of the world call them hostages”. “The rest of the world”? Hamas slaughters 26 children. In response, Israel slaughters more than 16,000 children. What should we call those 16,000+ slaughtered Palestinian children, still, unmentioned *in those terms* and *with that comparison* by BBC Today, BBC World at One or BBC PM. Should we not mention (often) those particular 16,000 slaughtered children and the lack of equivalency? Perhaps we should call them 16,000 empty chairs. As a BBC Newsaholic I have yet to hear the BBC mention, in news items or interviews, those children as 16,000 slaughtered in response to 26 slaughtered. The BBC is not alone in this in a nation where every adult claims he or she “would never harm a child”. The UK is not alone in this either. The Competition of the Dispossessed has been won but I am not for Hamas, not for Hezbollah, not for Israel. I am for the Children. 16,000+ slaughtered children compared to 26 not Palestinian children are apparently conveniently irrelavent. "The only good Red Indian is a dead Red Indian". "The only good Aborignee is a dead Aboriginee". "The only good Palestinian child ... ?". I still respect the BBC but, as with myself, better (in this at least) would be good.

*Any* organisation that mandates or implies “obedience” or “submission” is an organisation constructed for abuse. Though alibied by the claim that that obedience or submission is to a claimed “higher authority” the concept of some being the intermediator between, guide to, spokesperson for, representative of, bridge to, or official interpreter of that “higher authority” implies a valid obedience or submission to the facilitator and thus the legitamisation of abuse by that facilitating person or organisation. #abuse #obedience #submission

Make chaos then when it bites ride to the rescue the knight in shining armour the seventh cavalry saving the day, don't worry, the fools you've used (and despise) will have long forgotten it's you who got them to that catastrophic state of events that'll lead you to even more power more wealth as they sink give 'em scapegoats, the usual ones, it works every time, as Göring said which is what this piece is about I guess in the book entitled, "How to get power by using meat". Heads up!" #Comedy #StandUp #USA #Trump #Musk #Chaos #Putsch #TheAgeOfStupid

Response Ability Interesting to me that too (not a keyboard error) of my three favourite poets are terrible readers of their poems Neither annoying nor disappointing for me who, like all audients, (not a keyboard error) is constrained or liberated by my ability to interpret their work and know (not a keyboard error) I won't name them #poems #poetry #poesy #poets

@mogodonman Very few people give a shit about history, which is why we are where we are. Trump, like wilful ignorance, is nothing new.

@GayeDalton The important thing is *how* you die.

@mogodonman That people believe that, would make the wicked rich fall off their thrones laughing (and they'll fall onto soft and expensive).

“ if only we knew how to think. If only we knew enough history to be able to spot political opportunists and conmen because our knowledge of history would help us spot things that have happened so often before and always ended badly. If only we knew how to process data, how to fact check thoroughly and from varied sources not just those that tell us what we want to hear.” No, regardless of the quotation marks, hardly anyone says those things. #TheAgeOfStupid

Anyone who receives Trump’s policies with “disbelief” or considers his political behaviour as “outrageous” still isn’t paying attention. Trump doesn’t joke. The world is behaving like Jews in a young Nazi Germany, who thought “Germans aren’t fools, they’ll soon realise that Hitler is insane and they’ll throw him out. So there’s no need for us to leave”. Such thinking didn’t end well. It’s time the world took Trump at his word. Take him literally. Incidentally, Trump’s end game is a third term. #USA #Trump #Gaza #EthnicCleansing #Palestinians

I'm not seeking support( (as you should realise from what I post here). I'm looking for more worldwide accuracy. Slaughtering 26 children or slaughtering 16,000 children and those who slaughtered 16,000 are to be considered more righteous and just and to be respected as better people than those who slaughtered 26 children? Address *that*. I'm not for Hamas and I'm not for Israel. I'm for the children (as all adults purport to be, but clearly are not).

Elon Musk: “An unelected, unaccountable billionaire with expansive conflicts of interest, deep ties to China and an indiscreet ax to grind against perceived enemies is hijacking our nation’s most sensitive financial data systems and its checkbook so that he can illegally block funds to our constituents based on the slightest whim or wildest conspiracy” while operating a shadow government that puts all government services at risk. “If DOGE attacks USAID today, then you can be sure they’ll move on to another target tomorrow. Who knows, maybe it’ll be the Postal Service or the Social Security Administration or the IRS” (that would certainly please the extremely wealthy evading taxes by piling their wealth in mazes of shell companies). “It’s a playbook he has already used; he selectively released internal Twitter documents after he bought the company, arguing that the previous management had been politically biased”. And working with Trump America is supposed to believe Musk is *not* politically biased?! #USA #ElonMusk #Illegal #Trump #MAGA #Republicans

The Trump regime narrative, screenplay, cast, characters, acting and the director are nothing new. Here is the tried and tested plan: You engineer chaos. You engineer chaos to such an extent that you're able to legitimately declare that the situation (that you engineered) has become a danger to life and limb and the very survival of the nation. You declare that strong leadership is required and that you are the strong leader required. Claiming TINA, "There is no alternative", you call out the military pointing out that, although your term as elected leader is due, the emergency is such that it is your duty, as a "patriot" to remain at your post as leader (indefinitely). Your third term as President begins. There will be no more elections and still, the people will consider you as being merely a variation of "normal". The End. #USA #Trump #Screenplay #plot #Chaos #TheAgeOfStupid

Now (and for at least the next four years) Europe has two major enemies: Putin’s Russia and Trump's America. It's time to be aware of this and to embrace policies reflecting that reality. #USA #Russia #Europe #Putin #Trump

Trump doesn’t have Common Sense. He has, at best, wilful ignorance. Truth is he lies, almost constantly. The human race needs more than “common” sense. The children deserve much better than that. Common sense didn’t give you your mobile phone nor the cures for polio or smallpox. You have a duty to your self respect to make the effort to have more than common sense, especially if you’re responsible for the welfare of your nation’s people. #USA #UK #Trump #CommonSense

If you didn't realise that, under Trump, inclusion would be replaced by exclusion, you ain't been paying attention. Watch that space. Original is one thing you can't accuse Trump of being. #USA #Trump #Inclusion #Exclusion #SameOldSameOld #History

Sex and Gender are not alternative words for the same thing. As a rule, human beings hate nuance. However, a human being's sex and their gender can be different. "Sex and gender are distinct concepts. Sex typically refers to biological characteristics like reproductive organs and chromosomes, while gender is a social and cultural construct that encompasses roles, behaviors, and identities that societies attribute to individuals". #Sex #Gender #DefinitionsMatter #Definitions
