The clowns over at the New York Times thought now was the appropriate time to run this story about the long and difficult struggle for acceptance by the female combat soldiers of the apartheid state. After murdering tens of thousands of innocent people and destroying the homes of over a million Gazans, these genocidal gals are truly pushing new boundaries.
Think about this harsh reality for a second. In the midst of a full-blown genocide, with thousands of Palestinians dying, we’re actively being fed girl boss propaganda by one of the biggest papers in the world to help cover the war crimes funded by our tax dollars. The problem with modern technology is that we’ll see what’s happening in Gaza through the lens of social media and the eyes of people on the ground, but we’ll also learn the limitations of our trusted media outlets here in the west as they continue to ignore it. But I guess even ignoring it was too much to ask, the NYT chose to defend and valorize it.
It’s not enough to fund and silently or even vocally support the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, now on top of all of that, we need coverage of how the soldiers committing these war crimes are doing. Meanwhile the UN is saying that Israel has denied 70% of aid to northern Gaza during their ongoing bombardment of the besieged area. But somehow the national security spokesman John Kirby can still go on TV and say, "There’s no evidence of deliberate Israeli war crimes." How do you go about explaining this without sounding crazy?
You face a similar problem when learning about and dealing with the US government’s murderous clandestine history. If you read through enough CIA or FBI documents you eventually reach a point where you sound like the typical conspiracy theorist with a tinfoil hat on because the depravity of what they’ve done is so wild it often sounds fake. For example, capturing people and drugging them extensively with LSD to try and turn them into some kind of mind-controllable killers…how exactly do you tell someone that without appearing insane?

Return of the Rat Hole: The Chicago “rat hole” gained attention across the city in the past few weeks after news reports and social media posts about an iconic and mysterious animal imprint. There were reports that the longtime neighborhood landmark had been filled, perhaps with a plaster-like substance, followed by stories of the hardworking people doing their best to bring the creature’s imprint back to its original glory. Residents of the building next to the rat hole, who preferred not to be identified for fear of “ratribution” (can’t make this stuff up folks) from whomever filled the hole, worked hard yesterday afternoon to scrub away at what was left after some dedicated fans had scraped out most of what had briefly filled the hole. The important thing is, the rat hole lives to see another day
