When the results of Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District Republican Primary rolled in, we all made the same assumption: a seven-term incumbent had been defeated by record-breaking spending from Trump-aligned billionaires and the Israel lobby.
Thank you for pointing out the evidence that this election was almost certainly rigged. The US has NEVER been a democracy in any sense, though. It was designed not to be in fact. It's always been an oligarchy. Representative democracies are an oxymoron because once someone is in office they can vote however and do whatever they want, even if it's the exact opposite of what they promised. Sure, you can (try to) vote them out the next time around, but what'll you get? Another person who does whatever they want. When we vote we're just choosing which tyrant will rule over us, that's all. The only democratic way to run any society is via sortition.
Thank you for this excellent and perceptive breakdown of the breaking down, Ricky. Daunting, what we are up against. What is remarkable is that a minority of subhumans, with "their endless greed and sickening crimes," are able to harness such enormous financial and military power in late stage capitalism to accomplish their inhuman sick crimes. Greed, death and destruction gone amok IS late stage capitalism. What is most frightening to me is the speed at which those data centers and AI, most fundamentally,those vehicles of surveillance and "precision warfare" are taking over (and even embraced by the ignorant who are being taught to focus on it's few "convenient" perks).
It will take a lot, and a raising of consciousness, to turn this ship around. But I have no doubt our Mother Earth will have a hand in it. We are living in the "Kali Yuga," and it is worth reading the Hindu myth of what it took for Durga to summon up Kali to do battle with the King of the Demons bent on destroying mankind and all of Earth's kingdoms.
To me, the most noteworthy sentence in this article: "We tried to warn you that Palestine was a testing ground, that these people don’t give a fuck about democracy."
Yes you have, and so have many others. And still the sound of crickets. But the few of us who understand the odds will still try and never give up.
Ask yourselves, "Who are the people committing genocide on the Palestinians, and who are the people both inside and outside Israel who are supporting them? Also ask, who are the people protected by the media? When you attempt to make a factual, rational, and sensible comment about the perpetrators in the comment sections of MSN, or Yahoo, etc., what perpetrators are we talking about? We know the story. We are not allowed to criticize those who control us.
"Social media users have asked AI models variations of: “What is the probability of a primary turnout doubling, with virtually all new votes going to the challenger against a popular incumbent?” The answers come back in the realm of one in undecillion (a 1 followed by 36 zeros). While that figure doesn’t take all factors into account, whatever the true figure, it’s clear we are talking about vanishingly small odds."
I really love your writing, which is why I urge you to reconsider using this kind of evidence in your argument. AI models don't do math, period. That's not how they work. And to use some output from some unnamed AI models from some social media users, it renders this whole paragraph nonsense. Aside from this, thank you for keeping us informed regarding this suspicious primary.
It seems to be so much predictable and sickening human behavior that those who have what they think is the good life are the very last to realize that it too will be swallowed whole.
You could sing that in Gaelic (and we do)...the Acts of Union (1800-1) were plural....the bribes were not big enough to get it through first time so they reran it successfu££y with more grease.
We then spent a century, and several devestating famines, before the last straw of conscription into the trenches forced the hand of the 1916 Rising...which still (technically) left 6 counties under the unionist apartheid rule now loosened a bit further after Kitson was sent in to turn a civil rights protest into a manageable war of containment.
Of course they continue to run their thousand-year-rule (reich in German) counterrevolutionary efforts via the U$ua£ m€thodo£ogi€$.
Cogadh fada....its Irish for Inta fada....the looooooooong wars.
Very sick, very stupid humans destroying the miracles and beauty of the precious jewel that is life on Earth. And actually causing suffering that could easily be abated.

We wuz robbed!
Looks like Miriam Adelson stacked the deck >pun intended.
Because in her twisted casino world the house always wins.
All those billionaires tech billionaires?
It’s not even a stretch to think that they have the tech to manipulate poll numbers.
Israel buys candidates , who’s to say they didn’t somehow rig the votes?
Keep writing.
Learn to speak in codes, organize, and sharpen something. Most of all your mind.

It must be obvious that this sort of thing is absolutely unsustainable.
I expect they hope that, when everything collapses, they will be left holding all the money.
Yeah, that all checks out.

This is true. Every word of it.
