The “blood-drenched arms traders” (Pope Francis) won big today, as the House voted to throw billions more good money after bad at the MICIMATT, while calling those billions “support for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan”. Surely time to sing loudly the MICIMATT song

Bob and Ray – Two Guys From the Bronx, who have been around the block. Robert Scheer interviews me and we role play briefing of The President’s Daily Brief on Ukraine, SW Asia. Biden’s abiding illusion that “The USA is most powerful country in the world”.

SPEAKER JOHNSON: Just so you know, you have been conned by the same CIA con who said in July Putin had lost https://washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/07/07/cia-director-william-burns-ditchley-speech-adaptation/ You say “Putin will march thru Europe after Ukraine.” But Putin DID stop 2 yrs ago after agreement w/Kyiv, which US/UK nixed

SPEAKER JOHNSON: You refer in error to “the Biblical admonition to stand with Israel.” Genesis supersedes the mistaken notion of divinely authorized violence. The blood of Abel in Gaza cries out to God. We are called to be our brother’s keeper, not killer.

Does yesterday’s mini-attack on Iran mean Israel is trimming its sails amid US warnings not to escalate? Have Biden/Blinken no shame admitting that the $ “for Ukraine and Israel” goes directly to what Pope Francis calls the “blood-soaked arms makers” here?

FROM SAVANT TO SYCOPHANT: CIA’s Burns, 7/7/23: “Ukraine is a strategic failure for Russia; its military weaknesses laid bare.” 4/18/24: “Ukraine may lose this year, WITHOUT SUPPLEMENTAL ASSISTANCE.” Tell it straight, Bill: Ukraine loses w/ or w/out more $.

Iran’s weekend drone & missile demo attack on Israel is a watershed event; shows Tehran no longer deterred by Israel/US. Will Biden’s admonition dissuade Israel from escalating still further? Precedent would say, Hell no. BUT this is entirely new ball game.
