🗯It seems she must have rattled the cage of skeletons a bit too much with her investigations, her reports, her interviews and her finger pointing at the Global corporations that are complicit in the supporting the genocide in Gaza. It’s pretty shameful when a country turns on a human rights advocate. USA and Israel governments are one and the same. The irony and hypocrisy of our times must mark a tremendous sea change toward total dystopia. The one voice that has enough leverage to bring attention to the genocide in Gaza, is sanctioned, while the Loudest Voice in the room, with no real effort to stop the genocide is nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize by the “greatest” man in the world. If this is a dream, then I must contend, it’s got to rank high on the list of the worst nightmares that could ever have been conceived.

What words. Well, I've done my 2 cents in helping to spread her message:

In 1976, I was standing at the bottom step of the Russian Embassy, next door to 2141 Leroy Place, NW, Washington, DC. I was at the HQ of a Muslim organization.

I was so extremely fed up with the country--three years after the Paris Peace Accords [I called it the "surrender" of the United States to Vietnam]--that was seriously thinking about walking up the stairs of the Russian embassy and hoping that I could defect.

I ain't changed that much. Unfortunately, I never took the time to learn another language. Maybe I could have gone to Costa Rico, instead, which, as I think I'd head, had no military and no need for one.

Being stuck in this joint is oppressive to the soul. I haven't had a drink since 1975, when I accepted Islam. Sometimes, though, feel like I want to tell the angel on my left side, "Yeah, you're right! I'm taking a DRINK," then telling the angel on my right side, "I'll get back to you later!!"

It's been non-stop, all of my adult life: My country's pension for slaughter and support of slaughter. And were I to ask, "What IS it about Euros," I'd be called a "racist." European Euros; American Euros; Ashkenazi Euros. I mean, DAMN!!! Explain it, somebody???!!! Death, death, death!!

Elijah Muhammad said, "The White man is the devil." Did he mean white MALES????? If you say that, "Oh, it's just about power and money." Well, why ain't the people of the South, as represented by the BRICS nations, going around the world tryna slaughter eebody and dey mamma? Sorry [No I ain't] for asking such a question. But, I'm now, as of the other day, 3/4 of a century old. And ALL I'VE SEEN, all of my LIFE, is Euros murdering people, all over the planet.
