Global heating
13 September 2026
Global heating is an intentional outrage, not a natural calamity.
It is being done to us knowingly.
Law of war
13 September 2026
The US has participated since the Revolutionary War in efforts to curb the worst excesses of war. The sadist has declared his total opposition to that goal.
The US has not always lived up to that stated intention. The distribution of disease-laden blankets to indigenous people is one extreme example. We must recognize that the US has many wrongs to be ashamed of, even as it has many admirable traits to be proud of.
Comparing US history to the future that the sadist and his magats desire shows how vicious he and they are.
Pentagon journalists blacklist
13 September 2026
*U.S. Central Command maintains a secret directory of journalists who have been blacklisted by the press office.*
Election deniers running for office
13 September 2026
* Republicans who deny Joe Biden won the 2020 election are running for governor and secretary of state across the US.*
Each state's secretary of state is in charge of that state's elections. A secretary of state who endorses lies about recent past elections is likely to try to rig future elections.
It is clear that magats are organizing to eliminate honest elections in the US.
Voting Rights Act
13 September 2026
*Top US firms that backed Voting Rights Act [(in 2021) now] donate to groups working to undermine it.*
Fire near Reno
13 September 2026
A wind-driven fire near Reno, Nevada is spreading so fast that it is hard for people to evacuate fast enough to get away. It is even spreading across fire trucks, carried I suppose by blowing embers.
This is part of the consequences of global heating, and if we don't curb greenhouse emissions fast, fire will become a frequent danger.
"Divisive" progressives
13 September 2026
Ever since most Democratic officials abandoned New Deal-style support for the non-rich, environmental protection, climate defense, and equal rights, the candidates who seek to return the party to those causes have been tarred as "divisive".
We can't make the US livable for non-rich Americans by electing politicians who serve mainly the elites. Better to have a division over these issues than to ignore them.
Millions in India stripped of vote
13 September 2026
*Millions in India stripped of vote before critical state election, as government seeks to "purify" electoral roll.*
The BJP passed two laws, a decade ago, with the combined effect of denying citizenship to Indian Muslims who lacked certain documentation for their ancestors. Hindus were not required to produce that documentation, only Muslims.
Climate studies shut down
13 September 2026
*[The saboteur's henchmen have] shut down more than 100 climate studies.*
The long-term plan may be to prevent the education of future climate scientists in the US. Since the saboteur in chief, and his billionaire oligarchs, reject the results of climate scientists, and they know (though they won't admit it) that climate scientists all warn about the danger of global heating, they would see no reason for climate research to be done or for anyone to think about it.
Stars and Stripes editor fired
13 September 2026
The bully's henchmen have fired the publisher and editor of the military newspaper Stars and Stripes for defending its traditional editorial independence.
The bully wants to convert every news medium in the US into his own house organ.
Chow Hang-tung jailed
13 September 2026
Hong Kong freedom activist Chow Hang-tung as been jailed for five years for trying to talk publicly about the Tien An Men square massacre in Beijing.She keeps her spirits up by writing about being in prison. Her motive:
A stubborn freak like me can only march on and fight my case till the end … Having a chance to exhaust oneself is better than living a purposeless life, isn’t it?
"Darth Vader" in favor of Flock
13 September 2026
*"Darth Vader" comes out in favor of Flock cameras at San Diego city council meeting.
The dark lord – or someone dressed like him – said the technology would aid the empire in tracking "rebel scum".*
When law becomes the weapon
13 September 2026
Many countries have imposed, or tolerated, practices of lawfare that make it possible to crush journalists that question the official line.
Republican's strategy
13 September 2026
Republicans' long-term strategy, since Reagan, is to spend a lot of money (mainly on things that won't benefit non-rich Americans), refuse to raise taxes, and therefore greatly increase the national debt.
Subsequently, when Democrats were in power, they lambasted the Democrats for not cutting the spending that helps the non-rich to reduce the national debt.
What the corrupter is doing is basically more of the same, but with a change in details: he can count on nearly all Republicans in Congress to be so mindlessly loyal that they will rubber stamp even the most gratuitous and corrupt excuses to increase the debt.
Heidi Overton
13 September 2026
*Trump nominates abortion opponent Heidi Overton to be head of FDA.* Those bastards live to make the people they hate suffer or die.
Hind Rajab killing
13 September 2026
Israeli army has admitted that its soldiers fired at the car carrying Hind Rajab and her family, which is what killed them all. Also that it fired at the ambulance which was trying to reach them, killing some medics.
Previously the army lied about the circumstances to try to pass the blame to the medics.
Wildfires in Europe
13 September 2026
* Wildfires are projected to burn 39% more of Europe by the end of the century even in the best-case scenario for stopping the planet from heating, a study has found, unless action is taken to manage them better.*
Climate crisis
13 September 2026
*[UK] Ministers are in denial about the scale of the [local climate] crises we face.*
*Having just 20 Defra staff working on climate adaptations show the government is not taking the challenges of heatwaves, wildfires and droughts seriously.*
Racism today

Todd Blanche
13 September 2026
(satire) *Todd Blanche Vows To Remain Fully Independent Of The Law.*
He was recently confirmed by magat senators as the Attorney General, but he remains effectively the corrupter's personal lawyer.

Urgent: If Superman lived among us now
4 September 2026
If Superman lived among us now, and decided it was his duty to defend Truth, Justice and the American Way from America's worst enemy, what sort of actions might be effective and inspirational to use? How about posting your ideas, or stories based on them.
Please don't write about mere violence against magats; that is too crude and obvious, it is too much like them to set an example of good, and would not demonstrate morally that their actions are illegitimate.
Here are a few ideas that occur to me for what he could do.
If you post a fictional story about such an action, either something from the list above or something you have thought up, or even just an outline, I hope you will email me its URL.

Polish general imprisoned with German SS general
4 September 2026
The Russian conquerors of Poland thought it amusing to imprison Polish general Kazimierz Moczarski of the Home Army in the same cell with the German SS general that commanded the destruction of the Warsaw Ghetto.
Moczarski treated this as an opportunity for an interview, a chance to elucidate the mentality of a Nazi mass murderer. However, the Russians censored the contents of his book. When the English translation is published, I plan to buy a copy — paying cash, anonymously. Evidently, not from Amazon.
The purpose of the Polish Home Army was to rise up to help liberate Poland from German occupation. In late 1944, with the Red Army across the river from Warsaw, the Home Army rose up, and asked Russia to join in the battle. Instead, the Red Army held back so the Germans and Poles would kill each other. Stalin considered both of them his enemies.
UK Prime Minister Burnham disregarding gravity of climate disaster
4 September 2026
UK Prime Minister Burnham seems to disregard the gravity of climate disaster. That is not much better than the Tories, who have come to deny it.
Cyclosporidia outbreak should have been caught
4 September 2026
The cyclosporidia outbreak should have been caught and stopped by a new scheme for tracking wholesale shipping of food, to stop diseases carried by food. But the scheme has never been implemented.
The legal requirement for the scheme was adopted in 2011, but lobbying from agribusiness has repeatedly postponed its implementation. The last postponement put it off until 2028.
Losing data stored in a cloudy place
4 September 2026
Watch out! Storing data you care about in a cloudy place could lead to losing it.
This is a two-level example. Nine PBS, a US TV station, stored its archives in space it rented from a cloudy company which subcontracted the actual storage to a cloudy data center. The first cloudy company shut down and disappeared, but the station did not find out until later. Now the second cloudy company denies that the station is its customer, and the station has had to sue.
My lesson from this is not "the cloud is bad" but rather that it is foolish to use the term "cloud" in your words or your thoughts. That term was coined for leading customers into careless thinking. Don't let it lead you anywhere!
Pernicious error of measuring wealth
4 September 2026
The US media frequently fall into the pernicious error of measuring the wealth of "Americans in general" by the arithmetic mean of individual wealth.
I expect that pro-billionaire campaign and pressure groups lobby for that.
Better lung capacity after reducing air pollution
4 September 2026
Children in London have developed better lung capacity after the ultra-low emission zone reduced the amount of air pollution in most of London.
I support limiting cars' emissions more strictly, but it is Orwellian and unjust to implement this by tracking the movements and locations of individual cars. It would be better to impose this limit throughout the UK.
Sanctions on president of International Criminal Court
4 September 2026
The persecutor's regime has placed sanctions on the president of the International Criminal Court, as an attempt to establish unilaterally an unheard-of supposed moral principle: absolute immunity for the officials of governments that reject the ICC.
We can see why US officials might want this — to protect US soldiers that commit war crimes. In theory, the US will prosecute them itself; if the US really does that, the ICC will not get involved in their cases, because its mission is to prosecute war criminals whose own country prosecutes them. In fact, the US often protects them and refuses to prosecute them.

Italian thugs killed Abderrahim Fakir
4 September 2026
Italian thugs killed authorized immigrant Abderrahim Fakir by holding him down while he was handcuffed.
The details of what killed him are not clear in this article.
Fascist politicians are delighted by the killing, presuming that Fakir deserved death (without waiting to see if there was any objective justification for killing him). That is a standard Fascist approach: use the fact of a crime against a hate-target as "proof" that the target somehow deserved it.
Scientific research on racism and dementia
4 September 2026
The forces of ignorance have canceled scientific research into how racism affects whether people develop dementia.
This must be one of the things that magats believe that "Man was not meant to know." Or, at least, they don't mean for this to be known.
Rejecting corporate Democrats
4 September 2026
Robert Reich: most Americans are rejecting the corporate Democrats, and the rich people that they mainly serve.
Corporate Democrats are far from the worst politicians in office in the US. The fascists (today's Republicans) are far worse; they are sabotaging democracy and rule of law. But the corporate Democrats will not try to give most people a decent life with something to strive for — a goal whose prerequisites include preventing climate disaster.
Heatwaves and wildfires adding to tipping point
4 September 2026
*Heatwaves and wildfires are not just scorching forests, they are adding to the tipping point risks in the world's vast permafrost regions, which contain three times more carbon than all the living vegetation on Earth.*
This could negate human efforts to reduce emissions. If so, it would mean that we left the task of reducing them till too late.
