“Social change is still just talk
The things you see in urban walks

Inside your high-rise diners ..” Blaze Foley
You’ll Get Yours Aplenty

The idea that a car you paid for 100% is not yours and it can be remotely disabled is troublesome. I don’t like the e-sim function in the car (calling 112 directly in case of an accident), the “telemetry” functions recording and transmitting your driving parameters, the localisation (even without gps but with cell towers triangulation) and the voice recordings in the car. I am only at the beginning at the film, I will comment further on
Remember Amazon disabling books people had bought and already in their e-readers? We are being trained for the cage.
“The newly built cage hasn’t been built, but if we fail to see it for what it is in its context, we will simply be forced to embrace some version of it as one of the “legitimate” capitalist trajectories. That’s how it works when our society is a theater of absurdity.
I want to live a life that breaks open the invisible cage and firmly shake hands with nature and humanity. If you have stuck around this far with me, I trust that you feel the same…or not. Either way, we must start our conversations.” Hiroyuki Hamada

Totally agree,which is why old tech cars such as 124 Merc and early Golf /BMW/Toyota etc are now going up in demand and value.t
yeah, back to basics. Four star. Nowhere to hide.
Those electric cordless hover machines are all the rage in emerald city, wished I could have told you, wished you could have been there
Wonder how long it will be before they ban older (untracable) cars? Probably because they’re “bad for climate change”.
You should not extinguish an electrical fire with water
2026 Starting off well as NAZI America with Hitler protege Trumpity Trumpity Trump, writing his own cartoon version of how to win a peace prize while killing everywhere.
So stealing oil is now legal. I’m off to fill up and drive off without paying, shouting fuck you, ya drug running BP bstrds.
This year will be interesting as the West will turn the screw on third-world nations as well as its own populations. Just doing what they are told by their Zionist masters of course.
Happy New Year, folks, that’s if we last a year??
Trumpity Trumpity Trump is different.
His supporters believe he is anti.
The US is not only at Terrorist state but a Pirate State, Maduro – is a democratically elected president – the UN is toothless, many countries now don’t adhere to International Law – smaller nations are now fair game in the eyes of the bigger nations – watch out.
I only hope that Venezuela doesn’t surrender meekly – and puts up a bloody good fight.
Hopefully, they will have set up cells in the US and hit them where it hurts.
You two guys are hoping too much. Like Maduro. He was hoping. Iran hoped. Russia do also hope. Gaddafi hoped. EU hoped. Soleimani Hoped. JFK hoped.
Already in process. Or did you think that open border was due to the altruism of those who opened it up? Sadly, many still do.
UN is being tolerated precisely bcause it is toothless. Consider its appeals ti Israel.
yeah, the’re easily burned to the ground now
No,Maduro was a corrupt arse but now Trump has shown he is a bigger,more dangerous one.
A great quote to remember for 2026 and beyond.
Above all, don’t lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky

Talkin’ Bout a Revolution
Tracy Chapman
Don’t you know
They’re talking about a revolution?
It sounds like a whisper
Don’t you know
Talking about a revolution?
It sounds like a whisper
While they’re standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion
Don’t you know
Talking about a revolution?
It sounds like a whisper
Poor people gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
And take what’s theirs
Don’t you know you better run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run
Oh, I said you better run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run
‘Cause finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin’ ’bout a revolution
‘Cause finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin’ ’bout a revolution, oh no
Talkin’ ’bout a revolution, oh
I’ve been standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion
Don’t you know
Talking about a revolution?
It sounds like a whisper
And finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin’ ’bout a revolution
Yes, finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin’ ’bout a revolution, oh, no
Talkin’ ’bout a revolution, oh, no
Talkin’ ’bout a revolution, oh, no

Song doesn’t make much sense. And Tracy Chapman has no soul.
I never met her but I’ll take your word for it.
I know you’re joking, but, for the record, I mean a particular way of understanding and performing rhythm known as “soul.” It is a purely technical term. Some people got it. Some don’t.
Got ya now. I took it that she was devoid of a soul.
Maybe I needed that. 😌
That thing of both loving and hating humanity. Loving our greatest highest selves and hating the suffering our world is drowned in. Feeling impotent to stop it and hating yourself then, for not being able to stop it. Being both amazed at the beauty of architecture music how some with words can speak their beautiful souls. To building civilisations that protect the young and the old. Then this other side that seeks to destroy. A twin brother brought up by something else a malevolence. Like looking in a mirror but obscured by a dark dampness. It look like ‘me’ but it wants the opposite.
I’ve won my battle. Though it might not seem it. I wiped the mirror clean. And all I saw was myself..
So let’s get this straight … a country, not at war with the US, has been bombed by the US and its president and his wife were captured and flown out of the country by the US.
On a side-note: Venezuela has the world’s largest proven oil and mineral reserves.
Venezuela’s fate was sealed when the new president “won” the unoble peace prize. She’ll be installed later today to bring stability and to work with her allies to restore “order” to her beloved nation. Business as usual.
Lubricating the Empire of War Greed and Hypocrisy.
Sounds like a Sin.
Can they do France next??
Be fair, Zelensky first, then Macron & his Wife 😂
Frace issued an unfriendly comment on the kidnapping. So, we cannot rule that out.
Marcoon is toast.
Just like in Haiti, Aristide who, with his wife, was flown to Africa. Beyond illegal, beyond war, this is empire with impunity. Since there’s no one to enforce legal “guardrails” (hah!), the World Empire Klub members just shrug their shoulders to whatever a member can get away with. 1%’s world den of thieve’s demockery it is.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Bertrand_Aristide
He’s not going to invade. He just wanted Maduro because he was mad at Maduro. The government is being run by children throwing tantrums.
Good to see Trump is willing to send in USA poor working class males and female troops to protect the
CIAcoup attempt in…. …I mean the totally organic protests that erupted in Iran right after Netanyahu visited Trump on NYE.Everyone knows that… Venezuela, presents a clear and present danger to the American people way of life and Trump had no choice.
The peace in the Middle East and peace to Africa president is now trying to bring peace to Venezuela.
Facts are so sacred that none of this has been mentioned by OG.
The struggle continues:

Never meet one person who is fully awake watching Corbett.
they mainly go back to believing in politics and religion or they continue
believing in fair tales and savior heroes like RFK jr and Trump.
Corbett gets paid by children’s defense league which is clearly a Mossad CIA front.
Ahh, the old plots within plots.
Excuse me while l check under my bed.
BOO!
Mild-mannered Meryl Nass has finally gotten mad. She lays out the reasons for the 10/7 False Flag against Gaza and the Palestinians: the offshore oil & gas, the planned Riviera development, the Ben Gurion canal to compete w the Suez Canal.
An Israeli soldier has testified about the stand-down orders to facilitate the “attack”.
Meryl is outraged. Her rant at the end of the article is a thing of beauty.
https://merylnass.substack.com/p/knesset-testimony-of-israeli-soldier
Not just one soldier. A group of military observers in Gaza, mostly female, were sending frantic alerts on what they were seeing for weeks. Old news.
Yeah, but there’s nationwide protests all over Israel now. The testimony was in the Knesset, so maybe it’s gotten thru to the public finally.
Thanks to our many beautiful women, in many cases show a courage that we men should have fronted.
James is always a bright star on the night sky.

Always good to have one’s suspicions confirmed.
At least one can still get some ‘relief’ if locked in the USian prison industrial complex:
https://consortiumnews.com/2026/01/02/john-kiriakou-contraband/
One of the comments are thrilling: One wonders how people can risk their job, tens of years in prison, their whole life, for such a risky smuggling business?
“My mother was a guard in Ohio and my aunt was in Oklahoma. Both of them smuggled drugs. They do for many reasons.
All work environments are run by criminals, just like our country.
You will be fired or run out if you don’t .
Bringing in drugs is no guarantee of job-security however, the Gang still demands total control of your life.”
Sad story. No chance to say no.
The Empire of War Greed and Hypocrisy is in its death throes, and pulling out all stops:

Australia is next, man.
Probably, we are the 51st state.
Queue up. UK first, Canada next.
So they’re in the near queue and aUStralia’s in the far queue?
Nobody wants the UK. Canada maybe. But you don’t need to kidnap the Canadian premier. He’ll just give you whatever you want, so why waste your time?
Aussie is protected by King Charles and Camille Parker. Therefore Trump cant touch Australia. They are safe! https://youtu.be/XfR9iY5y94s .
Good.

Soo spoilt so fucking ignorant.
2026: The last Cra$h?
https://www.garydbarnett.com/the-financial-system-has-failed-currency-debasement-and-inflation-will-now-scream/
The global geopolitical, financial, and natural resource convergences happening now are scary. Relatively speaking, very few have no idea what’s coming other than a deep foreboding that the shit could hit the fan. Watching the silver market the last month and a half and the resultant actions by China, the US, Britain, etc., and the big banks and the federal reserve in the US, it’s become clear the US empire is kaput and about to take everyone down with it. That’s why we got Trump, he was installed by the Jewish and technocratic oligarchs, to take it all down. He’s so fucking stupid he still doesn’t realize it. His latest about “locked and loaded” to go over and “rescue” Iranian protesters would be hilarious if it wasn’t such a tried and true tactic accepted by the gullible masses. 2025 is done, 2026 is going to be a barnburner.
“Cant you hear, cant you hear the thunder, from the land of down under, you better run, you better take cover”.
And how much will our bank balances and properties be worth when the dust settles?
Zero.
Back in the penalty box (pending) Johnny. Was trying to start a convo but guess it will have to wait til tomorrow. I typed the word Jewish, my bad.
Yeah that goes to pending, as you know. If you’d like to discuss why this moderating decision was made you’re very welcome. A2
Well, I can only surmise that you do get some really off the board comments relative to those I can’t speak of without going to pending, so I would suppose you feel the need to make sure prior to them being published. And I would assume you do reject some comments, probably validly, but I don’t think you’ve ever rejected any of mine. Do your thing Sam, I appreciate the opportunity to participate. Peace.
Cheers for being one of the few commentators worth reading here Al. Consistent, smart, humane. Happy New Year.
Thanks Sam, Happy New Year to you too.
I’m sorry, I jumped the gun. Thank you human! My bad, but I appreciate that. I don’t know about Sam🙂
P.S. Happy New Year. We may be in for a rough ride but we all have only one life to live and perspective is valuable.
