THIS JUST IN! BIDEN LOVES HOULIHAN! AND KLINGER!

BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE  

THE WHITE HOUSE BOASTS THAT JOE BIDEN IS MOVING FURTHER TO THE RIGHT -- AND WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT WAS POSSIBLE?

REACHED FOR COMMENT, PRESIDENT JOE WARNED THESE REPORTERS -- MUST CREDIT  -- TO STOP CALLING SO LATE: "YOU KNOW I EAT DINNER AT 3:30 PM AND AM IN BED BY 7:OO PM TO WATCH THE FIRST EPISODE OF M*A*S*H ON METV -- ASLEEP BEFORE THE SECOND ONE STARTS AT 7:30.  WHAT WERE WE TALKING ABOUT?"

REMINDED,  PRESIDENT JOE REPLIED, "WORRIED ABOUT LOSING VOTERS IN THE MID-TERM OR WHEN I'M UP FOR RE-ELECTION?  NO!  WHERE ARE THOSE COWARDS GOING TO GO?  IF THE 2020 ELECTION PROVED ANYTHING IT'S THAT WE NOT ONLY DON'T HAVE TO DELIVER ON PROMISES TO THE VOTERS, DEMOCRATS NO LONGER NEED TO EVEN MAKE PROMISES TO THE VOTERS!!!! YOU FEEL ME?  WHAT WERE WE TALKING ABOUT?  HOT LIPS HOULIHAN?  SHE WAS HOT.  KLINGER TOO -- IN THE RIGHT DRESS."

FROM THE TCI WIRE:

Starting with the shameful.  US House Rep Ted Lieu Tweeted the following nonsense:

Dear

@TuckerCarlson

: Why do you hate America so much? General Mark Milley lead soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq, including combat duties. He’s served in the 82nd Airborne & 5th Special Forces Group. I see that you once applied to be in the CIA. But the agency rejected you.

At issue is critical race theory which is a hypothesis that some believe and others do not.  Some academic trends resonate with the public, some don't.  Whatever your stance on critical race theory, it really doesn't have anything to do with hating America -- whether you are pro crt or anti-crt.  

It really is shameful for a sitting member of Congress to pull that crap.  When this site started, it was Republicans that we had to call out for saying crap like that.  Sadly, this nonsense has drifted over.   And Ted was one of the hysterics who pimped lies of Russiagate.  So if he's got the time to question whether this or that American hates the country, he's certainly got the time to issue one apology after another for every false claim he repeatedly pimped regarding Russiagate.

A sitting member of the US Congress using his voice to condemn a citizen?  I don't think that's appropriate.

But Ted's been so inappropriate for so long -- and there are far worse than him -- that it goes to how Congress is degrading the public discourse.

As for criticizing the military -- positively or negatively -- that's not just a right of the press, it's a right of every American.  Maybe Ted needs to study up on American history before weighing in?  Or better yet, maybe he needs to stop challenging someone's love of their country and stop using his post as a member of Congress to do so.  That is a gross abuse of power and if we had a functioning Congress, there would be an ethical review of his Tweet.  

I'm sick of the nonsense.  I'm sick of this abuse of power.  

And, Ted, you were in Congress when the below happened.

Where was your angry Tweet then, brave Ted?  

Thug Recep Erdogen sicks his bodyguards on American citizens on US soil -- with at least nine having to be hospitalized and where were you ,Teddy?

You do realize the significant number of Kurdish-Americans in Los Angeles, don't you?  Or are you too stupid to grasp demographics?

You didn't stand up for the country or for the American citizens and you weren't even smart enough to cover your own butt by standing up for your constituents so maybe just stop calling into question the commitment others have to their country?

Where's Ted's Tweet about Mariam Taha Thompson?  It's funny who he slams as unAmerican -- and sad that he thinks he can sit in judgment on that issue.

BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE 

IN THE NEWS:

On Friday, a man found himself inside the mouth of a whale.

No, it wasn’t an ancient Hebrew prophet fleeing a God-given quest to the Assyrian city of Nineveh.

This time it was a Cape Cod fisherman, Michael Packard, 56, diving for lobster off the coast of Provincetown, Massachusetts.

[. . .]

Packard estimated he spent about 30 seconds inside before the creature spit him back out.

Being swallowed by a humpback whale is an exceedingly rare occurrence according to experts. Enough so that it’s considered practically nonexistent.

REACHED FOR COMMENT AT THE G-7, U.S. PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN TOLD THESE REPORTERS, "I HADN'T HEARD.  SO JONAH AND THE WHALE, HUH?  WILL I'LL BELIEVE WHEN WE SEE JESUS FINDING CINDERELLA VIA THAT GLASS SLIPPER AND FIGURING OUT SHE'S THE ONE HE TOOK TO PROM."

PROM?  JESUS AND CINDERELLA?

WE TRIED TO CORRECT THE PRESIDENT, HOWEVER, JOE HAD ALREADY LEFT THE BUILDING -- OR AT LEAST HIS BRAIN HAD -- AS HE NOW LAUNCHED INTO A LONG-WINDED TALE OF HIS HAIRY LEGS AND CORN POP.

FROM THE TCI WIRE:

Kurdistan Junis Tweets:

"The population of Afrin was once at least 96 % Kurdish. Following the Turkish occupation, most of them were displaced, & the proportion of the Kurdish population fell to around 25 %. ". If this isn't genocide, what is it then ?!!!!

"In south Kurdistan, they have established tens of military and intelligence bases and outposts to be used against the interests of our people," Elyana Elyan remarked this week regarding Turkey's illegal actions in the semi-autonomous Kurdistan Region of Iraq. 

The Kurdish People's Assembly Tweets:

The Turkish military is attempting genocide against Kurds in South Kurdistan, targeting civilians and a large refugee camp. Ask your MP to sign an Early Day Motion condemning Turkey’s actions, and to speak up in favour of an arms embargo on Turkey:

What is going on?  Insisting that they must defend themselves from the PKK, the government of Turkey is violating international law by sending troops into Iraq on raids and other missions and bombing the Kurdistan Region with war planes and drones.  PKK?  The what?  The PKK is one of many Kurdish groups which supports and fights for a Kurdish homeland. Aaron Hess (International Socialist Review) described them in 2008, "The PKK emerged in 1984 as a major force in response to Turkey's oppression of its Kurdish population. Since the late 1970s, Turkey has waged a relentless war of attrition that has killed tens of thousands of Kurds and driven millions from their homes. The Kurds are the world's largest stateless population -- whose main population concentration straddles Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria -- and have been the victims of imperialist wars and manipulation since the colonial period. While Turkey has granted limited rights to the Kurds in recent years in order to accommodate the European Union, which it seeks to join, even these are now at risk." The Kurdistan Regional Government in Iraq has been a concern to Turkey because they fear that if it ever moves from semi-autonomous to fully independent -- such as if Iraq was to break up into three regions -- then that would encourage the Kurdish population in Turkey. For that reason, Turkey is overly interested in all things Iraq. So much so that they signed an agreement with the US government in 2007 to share intelligence which the Turkish military has been using when launching bomb raids. However, this has not prevented the loss of civilian life in northern Iraq. Aaron Hess noted, "The Turkish establishment sees growing Kurdish power in Iraq as one step down the road to a mass separatist movement of Kurds within Turkey itself, fighting to unify a greater Kurdistan. In late October 2007, Turkey's daily newspaper Hurriyet accused the prime minister of the KRG, Massoud Barzani, of turning the 'Kurdish dream' into a 'Turkish nightmare'."

While Turkey pretends the problems started with the emergence of the PKK, they are lying.  The PKK is not an initiating incident.  It is a response to Turkey's long persecution of the Kurds -- perscuetion of the Kurds in Turkey and elsewhere. 

Sirwan Renas (Washington Kurdish Institute) offers his take:

The foundations of Kurdish nationalism in contemporary history can be traced back to the historical transition from pre-modern empire political system to the modern state-building order in the Middle East. In regard to Islamism, what makes Kurdish nationalism different from its rival nationalisms is the contemporary historical context through which it emerged. 

The Arab, Turkish, and Persian/Iranian nationalisms are state nationalisms that were constructed in opposition to Western colonialism — namely, British and France — at the beginning of the twentieth century and the domination of the United State in the aftermath of World War II. In contrast, Kurdish nationalism is a stateless nationalism aimed at the creation of the state of Kurdistan, and, thus, it emerged in opposition to the domination of Turkish, Iranian, Iraqi, and Syrian states — not the domination of Western powers. While for Turks, Arabs, and Persians, Western powers were seen as interventionists and occupiers, for Kurds the Turkish, Iranian, Iraqi, and Syrian states were perceived as occupiers. Even though Britain and France played a major role in dividing Kurdistan, for Kurds, it was their occupying authoritarian states that suppressed almost every Kurdish liberation movement throughout the twentieth century— a brutal suppression that led to all kinds of violations of human rights, from denying their fundamental rights to practice their language and culture and the possession of their homeland to mass killings, chemical bombings, ethnic cleansings, and genocides. The fact that the Kurdish national rights have been violated by the occupying states (not Western colonialists) made a significant difference in how Kurds perceive Islamism. 

Kurds do not have any state of their own to identify themselves with, nor do they identify themselves with any of the pre-modern Islamic empires or with any of the modern occupying states. That is not to say that Kurds have played no active role in the Islamic empires. Saladin Ayyubi, the founder of the Ayyubid dynasty, for example, led the Muslim military campaign against the Crusaders in the Levant. However, Kurds do not identify themselves with the Ayyubid dynasty and it has not become a basis for Kurdish nationalism. On the contrary, Turks identify themselves with the Ottoman Empire, Persians with the Safavid Empire, and Arabs with many Islamic dynasties since the birth of Islam. 

The transitional period from pre-modern empires to modern states in the Middle East is a crucial moment that helps us to understand how Kurdish nationalism and Islamism were affected by this historical context. It is widely believed that nationalism as a political ideology is a modern phenomenon.

THIS JUST IN! LIZ CHENEY'S FINAL DECISION?

BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE  

WAR-CRIMINAL-IN-TRAINING LIZ CHENEY HAS DECLARED THAT SHE IS WILLING TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO PREVENT DONALD TRUMP FROM WINNING THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

HAS SHECONSIDERED HARI-KARI?  MIGHT NOT WORK BUT IT WOULD SURELY PLEASE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD.

FROM THE TCI WIRE:

For all the pretense of being 'woke,' the US continues to stick its head in the sand when it comes to the suffering in other countries.  The activists in Iraq are living in the destruction that the US government created.  So it is appalling that the US press can't cover this, doesn't want to cover this.  Maybe its their guilt over selling the Iraq War?  Probably not because guilt really isn't an emotion journalists are known to have.  

Ihab died, in part, because of journalistic silence.  He wasn't the first killed or the tenth or the fiftieth or the hundredth or . . .  There was a lot of time for the press to run with this story and amplify what has been going on.  The culture of silence allows these murders to continue.  

Geneva4Justice offers this Twitter thread:

1. Yesterday, on 11 May, the #UNSecurtyCouncil held an open VTC briefing in connection with #UNAMI discussing the alarming regularity of targeted attacks in #Iraq and the failure to organize credible elections in the country.

6:01 AM · May 12, 2021

2. The UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General in Iraq and head of #UNAMI, Jeanine-Hennis Plasschaert, renewed her call for all Iraqi stakeholders to adhere to the integrity of the electoral process, stressing that ”the world is watching”.

6:01 AM · May 12, 2021

3. The #SRSG further raised concerns around the targeting of prominent activists and the lack of accountability for #HumanRightsViolations, highlighting the assassination of Ihab Jawad al-Wazni in Karbala.

6:01 AM · May 12, 2021

4. She noted that little information was provided regarding the violent attacks against demonstrators which undermines the integrity of elections. UN delegates supported the briefing of Ms. Plasschaert and called for increased vigilance against terrorist activities in #Iraq.

The press too often silences the deaths and it also silences the reactions to the death.  Suadad al-Salhy (MEE) notes that the response to Ihab's murder was to call for more protests.  And the protests continue and the protesters continue to be attacked.  This morning, Sura Ali (RUDAW) reports:

Security forces in central Iraq’s Babil early Thursday arrested large numbers of protestors who were part of reinvigorated demonstrations in the city following the assassination of a prominent activist, a local activist confirmed to Rudaw English.

Masses of protestors, who have taken to the streets since the assassination of Karbala activist Ihab al-Wazni on Sunday calling for accountability, were arrested overnight, according to Babil activist Ammar al-Ghazali.

Videos on social media show clashes between riot police and demonstrators near al-Thawra Bridge in the center of the city. Protesters set tires on fire on the streets, while security forces fired Molotov cocktails to disperse the protesters.

"The protesters agreed to declare a truce for three days during Eid al-Fitr, after which the escalation will resume in the case Wazni’s killers are not revealed, and the arrest campaign against protesters and activists continues," Ghazali told Rudaw English.
