Michele Kelly wants 3rd party Vote Green

There is a tendency in left liberal circles to be dismissive of processes of consciousness-formation within mass movements. "The crisis is now so we must act now. We cannot wait on movements to have their meetings and issue their statements." But what sits at the root of the crisis? What is the content of the proposed actions? What are their underlying strategies? And who will carry them out? The failure to contend with these questions historically and dialectically produces practices that are shallow in form and counterproductive in substance. In form, the tactics they deploy are not very different from the politics they criticise. They operate purely on the informational terrain, convening meetings, issuing statements, publishing op-eds that appear to respond to the urgency of the moment. They might have greater sheen than a movement meeting in a village hall, but the fundamental output is the same: information. But when we dig into the substance, we find a fundamentally different political methodology at work — and it is precisely here that the inability of the left liberal movement to respond to the crises it diagnoses as urgent becomes plain. I see that inability as having three principal sources. First, the sense of urgency requires the summoning of political forces perceived as having the capacity for immediate action — that is, individuals or organizations with a high degree of visibility and likely a significant amount of funding. Little thought is given to the political economy of knowledge production that elevates certain individuals over others, generating perceptions of power and influence in the process. This selection mechanism necessarily excludes most revolutionary formations. Second, the exclusion of revolutionary formations precludes the use of methodologies capable of assessing precisely the contradictions at play in any given moment. The failure to think dialectically and historically through politics produces agendas that claw hopelessly at surface-level phenomena — bad actors, acts of violence, democratic backsliding, etc. — without a vision for confronting them in their systemic totality. Third, because they are not rooted in revolutionary formations, the informational interventions produced within left liberal spaces are not metabolised into processes of movement building. No one becomes stronger, or more conscious, or strategically sharper as a result of the interventions produced — and, indeed, the lack of a Marxist analysis produces ideas that carry the grave risk of misdirection. Why build a revolutionary movement, for example, if we can rely on international law? In fact, the development of a correct political orientation in the context of an organized mass movement is the only method proven within history for overcoming the kinds of existential crises we see today. This work is necessarily patient. Those of us who are not on the frontlines of the war against imperialism are operating in the register of the battle of ideas. This battle is not insignificant. Ideas, as Marx taught us, acquire a material force once they are adopted by the masses. Then and only then do they carry the possibility of delivering systemic transformation on the scale required today. The task — the only task — of left forces is to organize the people in ways that create mass revolutionary consciousness and therefore the capacity for strategic, transformative political action. Anything that pulls us back or misdirects us in that struggle simply prolongs the crises that we all seek to overcome. It is not that the present moment is not urgent. But there is a reason why some of our most-repeated aphorisms have us think before we act. "The man who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones,” an old Confucian proverb says. Or, perhaps more harshly: "A blind horse always frightens itself."

BREAKING: The entire media class is re‑laundering the genocidal atrocity propaganda rape hoax via an Israeli regime "Civil Commission" report the BBC calls "the most comprehensive to date". There's just one problem: Cochav Elkayam‑Levy set up that "commission" and is a proven propagandist liar and fraud. Early in the rape hoax she came out swinging with the most maximalist deranged hoax claims, producing a "photo showing women raped and killed" that was exposed by Max Blumenthal to have been of Kurdish women in Syria. She repeated the debunked ZAKA hoax claims of fetuses cut from wombs, which was so embarrassing that the Israeli regime's official rape hoaxer in charge of their propaganda operation, Ruth Halperin‑Kaddari, came out in a Times of London piece to denounce Levy as a grifter and hoaxer who should not be taken seriously, and say that she herself had cut off all contact with her because her blatant hoaxes and grifting jeopardized the entire propaganda project. Israeli media itself then ran reports exposing Levy as a fraud, having lied about having written a "report" to get an official position as a rape hoax official, and raked in cash for her "Civil Commission" which in fact was doing nothing at all and was just comprised of herself sitting in her home doing Google searches for insane rape hoax claims to put in a Google Doc. This is now the "Civil Commission" that has a BBC front‑page story laundering it, as well as Le Monde, ABC, CNN, soon to be followed by more. All of this is on the record. I and others noted this over a year ago. It's published in the Times of London. Everyone knows Levy is a grifter who lied and stole money for the fake "Civil Commission", funneling it into her own pockets. Everyone knows she's a serial propagandist liar who fabricates photos and repeats fetuses cut from wombs hoaxes with glee. And she just put out the most maximalist insane deranged rape hoax "report" that is debunked explicitly in all its claims by all the UN reports, both Patten and the UN CoI, the Amnesty report, the HRW report, and even the Israeli regime's own prior Kaddari "Dinah Project" report, which excludes all the most blatant rape hoaxes that Levy just dumped in there with glee. So the Israeli regime is actually promoting two different reports from competing rape hoax "commissions" that contradict each other! No, actually, they're promoting at least 3 or 4 different reports when you also include the Patten and UN CoI that all contradict one another!! And you know what the BBC does in its front‑page write‑up of it by Yolande Knell? They say: "While the UN and others have published reports on sexual violence during the attacks – in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 taken hostage – this is the most comprehensive." They don't even bother reviewing its claims versus the other reports, including the UN ones that they herald as the gold standard in all their pieces and the Israeli regime's competing "official" Dinah one that they also gleefully laundered, and just say: OMG HERE IS THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE BEST ONE YET!!!! What the fuck are you talking about? THIS CONTRADICTS ALL THE OTHERS. IT REGURGITATES ALL THE MOST INSANE DEBUNKED HOAX CLAIMS AS DETERMINED BY THE OTHERS WHO LOOKED AT THE EXACT SAME MATERIAL. You can't even argue that because this one was just published they have some new information that no one else saw before. No, it's literally the exact same hoax claims that all these reports went over in detail and determined had no merit whatsoever, and that's by their already insane charitable to the rape hoax standards, as I and others have pointed out with regard to the Patten report (the UN CoI reports, also overly charitable, are the least worst). It is actually astonishing to me. After I saw the Daily Mail give it a write‑up yesterday, I now see that the BBC, ABC, Le Monde, CNN and soon likely NYT and Guardian actually also jumped on this. The Israeli regime's Foreign Ministry hasbara division proudly posted the Daily Mail piece and I thought for sure it would remain restricted to the tabloid rags. I thought for sure they would not have the shame to actually dare publish as a front‑page piece in the BBC. But of course even I at this point underestimated just how shameless these depraved genocidal Zionist scum in the media class are, and how owned they are by their Zionist masters. It actually is amazing. They are totally owned. Of course what this proves beyond all doubt is that the entire rape hoax, from start to finish, is nothing but a genocidal propaganda project. They just admitted it. The BBC, ABC, CNN, Le Monde, they just all came out and admitted it, that they only published what the Israeli regime and the lobby demanded they publish without any attempt to even do the most minimal factual review or care about the most basic journalistic standards. They just admitted it. It's shocking.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Again after ONE PHONE CALL with Netanyahu the Iran Ceasefire is on "Life Support" with "1% Chance of Life" Netanyahu ordered him to attack the power and energy infastructure in Iran, he must comply. This is pathetic. People will die, and the global economy will get further destroyed.
