When asked if Israel would have the right to take over the entire region based on this "original deed," Huckabee responded: "It would be fine if they took it all. (..) Israel is a land that God gave, through Abraham, to a people that he chose," Huckabee said, describing the Jewish people's connection to the land as a combination of "a people, a place, and a purpose."

The Epstein Files and the Hidden World of an Unaccountable Elite

J Epstein e D Trump
Fonte: Internet

The search continues in the documents for ironclad criminal conduct, but the story of a sexual predator given a free ride by the ruling class has already emerged.

(..) In unsparing detail, the documents lay bare the once-furtive activities of an unaccountable elite, largely made up of rich and powerful men from business, politics, academia and show business. The pages tell a story of a heinous criminal given a free ride by the ruling class in which he dwelled, all because he had things to offer them: money, connections, sumptuous dinner parties, a private plane, a secluded island and, in some cases, sex. (..)

If Mr. Epstein’s goal was to build a wall of protection around his abuse by surrounding himself with the well connected, he failed in the end. But both before and after he was first prosecuted for abusing girls, his correspondence described a network of people whose high-flying lives belied the struggles of ordinary Americans. And at the center of that network was a sexual predator seemingly on top of the world. (..)

Quanto mais alto o coqueiro, maior a queda. O fragor da derrocada das instituições políticas estadunidenses é ensurdecedor. Há quem pense que as próximas eleições poderão reerguê-las. Eu duvido. Acho que o Supremo Tribunal, o Congresso, a Presidência e a própria Constituição, tal como vinham funcionando desde o II Pós-Guerra, foram pro brejo, e com eles boa parte do legado dos founding fathers. Quando Trump for defenestrado e o MAGA desbaratado, o país vai precisar de um novo tipo de Congresso Nacional, eleito com base no voto proporcional e dotado de poderes constituintes para refundar a democracia.    

PS: Há quase 10 anos, mais exatamente 19-12-2016, o editorial do NY Times propunha o fim do Colégio Eleitoral. Ficou por isso mesmo. No meu entender, ele é um despropósito federativo que os vitoriosos da Guerra Civil deram aos derrotados como prêmio de consolação, junto com os direitos civis da população negra, somente reconhecidos um século depois.

A ordem do fatores altera o produto

 

A intelligentsia Democrata aposta na superação de Trump pela via eleitoral. Mas o mais provável, a essa altura, é que eleições minimamente democráticas nos EUA só aconteçam DEPOIS que Trump for deposto, direta ou indiretamente, pela ação das multidões urbanas.

O pertencimento da Groenlândia, habitada pelo povo inuíte, ao Reino da Dinamarca me parece em si mesmo uma excrescência imperialista. Eu gostaria que esse povo pudesse ter-se feito representar e expressar sua visão de mundo e suas expectativas, ao lado dos povos amazônicos e outros 'originários' espalhados pelo mundo, numa conferência independente paralela à COP 30 que a certa altura sugeri neste blog. Mas isso é outra história. Essa postagem nos faz lembrar que o absurdo jaz no coração do riso. Eu costumo pensar que a Lego é responsável por 80% do PIB da Dinamarca. Espero, de toda forma, que os estadunidenses deem fim ao governo Trump o quanto antes. O resto a gente vê em seguida.

A pilhagem das riquezas naturais da Venezuela é o motivo confesso dessa ação, razão pela qual os EUA não "capturaram" Maduro: por ordem direta manifestamente inconstitucional do candidato a führer da Américas e com a bênção dos trilionários que lhe fazem a corte, suas Forças Armadas INVADIRAM um país soberano e SEQUESTRARAM-LHE o chefe de Estado. A maior potência econômica e militar do planeta assim se torna, inapelavelmente, o que ela mesma houve por bem designar, a certa altura, um rogue state. Considerando, por outro lado, as reinações de Trump com Putin, Netanyahu e Bin-Salman, seu declarado desprezo pela Europa  Ocidental e suas ameaças explícitas ao Canadá, Groenlândia, México, Colômbia e Brasil, creio poder concluir que a Pax Americana do pós-II Guerra está morta e a crise da democracia plutocrática que atendia pelos nomes de Sonho Americano e Estado do Bem-Estar chegou a um ponto de não-retorno. O futuro cada vez mais nítido da civilização baseada na competição entre potentados econômicos e seus Estados nacionais associados é a barbárie imperialista. Só uma avalanche democrática transnacional poderá revertê-la.

Demonstrators blocked the exit of ICE vehicles from a parking lot using garbage bags and metal barriers

A raid by federal immigration authorities on Saturday in New York City was thwarted by about 200 protesters, several of whom were arrested after scuffles with police officers.

The episode was the latest in which citizen activists have stood up to agents enforcing Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration agenda through targeted raids in various cities across the country after his second presidency began in January.

Similar recent actions by federal authorities elsewhere, including in Charlotte and Chicago, have been met with resistance by citizens opposed to the administration’s escalating program of detentions and deportations.

According to the New York Times, Saturday’s confrontation took place on the edge of Manhattan’s Chinatown neighborhood, where US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents were assembling with counterparts from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

“(..) After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him. And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power.

This is not only how we stop Trump; it’s how we stop the next one. So, Donald Trump, since I know you’re watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up.

We will hold bad landlords to account because the Donald Trumps of our city have grown far too comfortable taking advantage of their tenants. We will put an end to the culture of corruption that has allowed billionaires like Trump to evade taxation and exploit tax breaks. We will stand alongside unions and expand labor protections because we know, just as Donald Trump does, that when working people have ironclad rights, the bosses who seek to extort them become very small indeed.

New York will remain a city of immigrants: a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and, as of tonight, led by an immigrant.

So hear me, President Trump, when I say this: To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us. (..)”

President Donald Trump hosted a Great Gatsby-themed party at Mar-A-Lago on Oct. 31, as multiple federal judges ruled the administration could not stop funding food aid amid the ongoing government shutdown. The party was labeled "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody" according to multiple media attendees. The title was drawn from a song on the soundtrack of the 2013 movie adaptation of "The Great Gatsby."
