Neither Trump nor Biden

 


I have long been nauseated by the shameless, soulless psychopathic mediocrity named Antony Blinken.  A few years ago he was yammering about how Iran was a threat to stability in the Middle East.  His next achievement was arrogantly refusing all of Putin's efforts to avoid war in Ukraine, thereby condemning MILLIONS of Ukrainians to death, dismemberment and disapora.  (What probably pisses Blinken off about the way things turned out in Ukraine is that NATO's weakness has been exposed and all of Europe is finding out that the USA's promises are empty, even when they're made to white people.) Russia has handed the USA a gigantic diplomatic and military failure.  And make no mistake about it: Ukraine will collapse just as suddenly as the military of our puppet-government in Afghanistan collapsed.  Just as idiots (like Joe Biden) were babbling stupidly about the numbers and the weapons and the training of the Afghan National Army up to two days before it completely evaporated, there are still lying or deluded shit-heads talking about isolated Ukrainian victories (real or imagined) as that country of 11 million people without money or industry starts to scour everywhere it can to put elderly men, pregnant women and the least-wealthy university students into the line as the fourth wave of cannon-fodder.

Antony Blinken, ... the worthless son of a worthless family, with no talents or abilities, ... so stupid and deluded in his bubble of privilege that he genuinely believed he could sit across the table from the Chinese and lecture them about human rights, democracy and international law, only to receive a dressing-down that almost had him in tears.


And now, this disgusting piece of shit is claiming that the case for saying that Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza is "meritless."    

In the same speech in which he admitted that 90% of people in Gaza are facing acute food insecurity amid Israel's blockade and bombardment, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken claimed on Tuesday that South Africa's lawsuit accusing Israel of genocide is "meritless" despite the exhaustive evidence set to be reviewed by a United Nations court this week.

"We believe the submission against Israel at the International Court of Justice distracts the world from [humanitarian] efforts," said Blinken at a press conference in Tel Aviv, where he met with Israeli leaders. "And moreover, the charge of genocide is meritless."

The charge Blinken was referring to was exhaustively detailed in an 84-page complaint submitted by South Africa to the ICJ, the U.N.'s top judicial body, which is planning to hold a hearing on Thursday and Friday regarding the manner.

...

U.S. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby last week dismissed the lawsuit as "meritless, counterproductive, and completely without any basis in fact whatsoever," and State Department spokesperson Matt Miller told reporters that the U.S. is "not seeing any acts that constitute genocide."

But while dismissing South Africa's evidence on Tuesday, pointed out Intercept reporter Prem Thakker, Blinken noted that nearly 2 million people in Gaza are facing starvation.

"Blinken calling accusations of genocide against Israel 'meritless' in the same moment he cites the United Nations warning about starvation in Gaza is notable not just because of the contradiction, but because of the U.S.'s own recent behavior at the U.N.," Thakker added, citing a number of recent votes for a cease-fire which the U.S. opposed or vetoed. 

"Meritless." That's a good word for Antony Blinken.  He has no merits.  None.  He's a goddamned war-criminal with the blood and trauma of millions on his hands and whatever exists of his conscience.  He should be arrested for war crimes and if found guilty condemned to a cell for the rest of his life.  Together with John Kirby and their demented boss Biden.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken just referred to the US-sponsored assassination of yet another journalist in Gaza as a “terrible tragedy”, as though the reporter was struck by lightning or died in a car crash or something.


Speaking at a press conference in Qatar on Sunday, Blinken was asked to comment on the murder of Al Jazeera journalist Hamza Dahdouh, who was killed in Gaza by an Israeli airstrike on a car has was traveling in with two other journalists, one of whom also died. Hamza Dahdouh was the eldest son of Al Jazeera’s Gaza bureau chief Wael Dahdouh, whose wife, son, daughter and baby grandson were murdered in another Israeli airstrike in late October.


In response to an Al Jazeera reporter’s question about whether the United States condemns the murder of innocent journalists, Blinken replied as follows:


“I am deeply, deeply sorry for the almost unimaginable loss suffered by your colleague Wael al-Dahdouh. I am a parent myself. I can’t begin to imagine the horror that he’s experienced, not once, but now twice. This is an unimaginable tragedy, and that’s also been the case for, as I said, far too many innocent Palestinian men, women, and children — civilians, also journalists, Palestinian and other.”


Blinken went on to acknowledge the scores of journalists who have been killed in Gaza, saying that this shows the need to get humanitarian aid into the enclave and achieve a lasting peace. What Blinken did not do is issue anything resembling a condemnation of Israel and the clear and demonstrable fact that it has been highly focused on the task of murdering journalists in Gaza. He just offered his deepest condolences for Dahdouh’s death, framed it as a passive “tragedy” instead of an active assassination using highly sophisticated military technology under the sponsorship and support of the United States, and moved on.


It’s hard to say who’s worse, the far-right Israelis who openly revel in the butchery they are inflicting in Gaza, or the liberal Americans who directly sponsor that butchery and then look you dead in the eye and tell you how deeply, sincerely sorry they are to hear that another person in Gaza has died in a tragic accident.


Blinken is always doing sociopathic stuff like this. Late last month he tweeted, “This has been an extraordinarily dangerous year for press around the world. Many killed, many more wounded, hundreds detained, attacked, threatened, injured — simply for doing their jobs. I am profoundly grateful to the press for getting accurate, timely information to people.”


I mean, can you believe the gall of this freak? As though his own administration wasn’t responsible for most of those killings. As though Israel has not spent the last three months directing wildly disproportionate firepower at the places it knows journalists are hiding


He’s standing there on top of a pile of corpses while mournfully shaking his head about their tragic unfortunate deaths.

I would say that Blinken has befouled the administration of Joe Biden but that would mean that Biden himself is not a foul, loathsome, disgusting vermin.  A useless, stupid, stupid man.

Shouldn't sane people look at a culture that produces something as absurd and atrocious as a contest between such truly worthless, hideous abominations as Donald Trump and Genocide Joe Biden and finally decide that it has gone too far.  The system is incurably rotten.  It needs to be overthrown and replaced.  

I would never vote for the fascist Trump or the liberal-genocider Biden were I given the opportunity.  It is immoral to demand that people vote for someone as evil and debased as Joe Biden.
