Thanks, Matt, for pulling together alarming current events with some big picture context. I'm as worried as you are.

These are trying times. First Amendment rights are being challenged. World War III is possible. Let's watch each others' backs and keep sharing the truth as best we can. Thanks for doing your part, Matt.

Matt, thanks for mentioning my transcription of your closing comment on the episode with Judge Napolitano. It really struck me at how well you were framing all that is at risk. Thanks also for the song link ... very appropriate to the times and the crazed indifference of world leaders, especially those in the US and Israel.

I did a cartoon for my post today that I think you will appreciate: "CARTOON: Israel Accused Of Running "Torture Camps" As Video Emerges Of Soldiers Raping Palestinian Prisoner ... Every act of sexual torture is sponsored by United States' funding and arming of ZioNazi Israeli 'Defense' Force perverts.

A quote I included with the cartoon is a lesson the war criminals leading the US and Israel would be wise to heed:

“Whoever has experienced the power and the unrestrained ability to humiliate another human being automatically loses his own sensations. Tyranny is a habit. It has its own organic life; it develops finally into a disease … blood and power intoxicate.” — Fyodor Dostoyevsky, ‘The House of the Dead’, 1862.

If you wish, feel free to use any of the cartoons, illustrations or photos I create for my Substack. I make everything available for free to all those fighting for justice and peace.

Thanks for your courage and clarity and pass along my appreciation to the Judge and the rest of his regular guests! You all are doing good work.

Hi Mark, thank you so much. I am glad I found your substack and I wish I had found it sooner.

If there is one thing true in my life, since I was senior in high school, is that Dostoevsky provides to me an articulation of humanity brilliant and rare, horrifying and divine. Thank you for that quote.

Thanks. Sad that Dostoevsky observation is as true today as back in his time. Let me know if I can be of help to your efforts.

I'm afraid we may soon learn that ignorance is not bliss, particularly the purposeful ignorance that is so prevalent in American society today. Matt Hoh rocks.
