5 decades of deliberate conditioning people to be proud to be stupid will fuck-up any society.
After a while, few can remember the time when anti-intellectualism was rare.
The RW manipulation/exploitation agenda relies heavily on people thinking it's cool to be stupid.๐Ÿ˜’
US and NZ and everywhere.

Any Arab state that allows US military bases to occupy their territory and is complaining that it is Iran that is violating their sovereignty can shut the fuck up.

The cold war itself was all about the US interfering with other nations.
There is no year in either of our lifetimes when the US was not interfering with foreign nations.
I suspect you may have become blind to it because it is so ubiquitous.

If the American people had access to the same information about the Epstein/Trump relationship that Epstein shared with Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu would lose the power to blackmail Trump into starting illegal wars.

helenclarknz In the absence of an imminent threat to the security of the United States and Israel, their armed attacks on Iran are illegal under international law. They have no legitimate claim to invoking a right of self defence. It goes without saying that the Iranian regime is a vicious theocracy which has caused huge trauma to its people. But that isn't a reason for a breach of Iran's sovereignty.
@juanmanuelsantos, Chair of @theelders_org, has spoken on behalf of all The Elders. We support adherence to international law. Talks mediated by #Oman between the US & Iran had been underway.
Diplomacy should have been allowed to run its course. Deescalation now is urgent. The UN Secretary General has called for this and strongly condemned the breach of international law.
The statement on the โ€ข & โ€ข attacks on Iran by the New Zealand Government therefore is a disgrace. It knows full well that international law has been breached even though negotiations on Iran's nuclear capability were under way. It knows that walked away from the last nuclear agreement with Iran. Why the servility? guess we know.

โ€œWhy the servility?โ€ Should be a key question of the election.
The well-known Sarah Kendzior quote is that the Trump administration is a โ€œtransnational crime syndicate masquerading as a governmentโ€ - it is vital to ask why NZ is behaving on multiple fronts as if we want to be/are in on that racket.

I doubt there was a pause...
Hasn't happened in my lifetime.

I suspect Hawaii isn't mentioned because that was annexation by a cabal of capitalists rather than by invasion or conquest or coercion by the US Government, the US military, or any other US Government agency.

How Trump BETRAYED America for Israel's Iran War

They love war the same way that normal humans love their children.
No democracy can withstand a population that has been convinced that it is cool to be stupid, and that's how Trump became the US President, twice.

Where are our detention facilities for anyone who declares support for Trump, the USA, or Israel and their illegal wars?

Any NZ MP or Atlas funded think tank or domestic billionaire who declares support for the USA, or Israel, or Trump is an enemy of the state and an enemy of the people.
They should be arrested, charged, and prosecuted for treason.
No exceptions.

They won't be intercepted because they won't be delivered by planes, drones, or rockets.
