I appreciate the satire and irony.

I didn’t even laugh at this one.

I just got angry.

I’m sick and tired of the killings by usarael and grate britain.

trump’s ice is killing civilians right here in the military headquarters of israel.

Shooting our women in the face.

We need a decapitation strike in washington dc.

I hate this fucking country.

I’ve seen ice take people off the streets three times in the last two days.

I’ve seen Palestinians freezing in tents on my screen; when they aren’t busy being killed that is.

I went to an ice out protest on Tuesday, and no one showed up but me.

Bourgeoise liberals and fascist MAGAs make me vomit.

Sorry for being Debbie downer today.

Somebody’s gotta do it.

Can’t just do nothing.

The bright spot that occurred to me as I pen this, is little Ezra.

He’s a fighter too.

Bless you both.

And, thank you.

Real change: Saying good-bye to Tel Aviv and the White House. And Mar a Lardo, to be on the safe side.

Mike Fish's avatar

Change that we really could believe in.

Not like that bullshit that Obama peddled.

I like the way you think.

Yes, as St Barrack was busily starting wars that he managed to keep rather quiet, he was more cunning than Donald and did get his peace prize I'm still trying to find the 8 wars that Donald says he's stopped. Maybe they were the catfights on epstein Island

Rebel Nun's avatar

More like the teenage girls fighting him off; he stopped these “wars” by beating them up. Actual testimony, ignored by the (threatened, no doubt) media.

Francis/Clare's avatar

But of course the leaders wouldn't have rallied around him if they truly thought he would make the kind of change we desperately need.

Francis/Clare's avatar

Obama was a horrible disappointment.

Rebel Nun's avatar

😢😢😢💛👏👏👏Thank you, Mike.

Mike Fish's avatar

Well, I guess this is as good an opening as any:

Yeah, I love you too.

Armed Revolution.

If anyone’s got a better idea, I’d sure as fuck like to hear it.

Klaus Hubbertz's avatar

{...Armed Revolution...} 🤔🤔🤔

Are you playing into the arms of the depop-agenda ??? ... I can't believe that !!!

ONLY way to have a livable future is refusing to "play" their rigged "games".

Which leaves many options to every lucky individual still having two active & connected brain-cells; unfortunately not an option for the feeble minded who seem to be a huuuge majority...

gypsy33's avatar

Ah, Klaus:

I’m waiting for a better idea. Cause we Murkins ain’t gonna vote our way outta this.

Klaus Hubbertz's avatar

Maybe, you get a pair of Nike's and vote with your feet ...

Any direction will do but true north ...

Klaus:

You suggesting I leave everything I’ve worked for my entire adult life? Not gonna happen.

I prefer to stay and fight back.

Don’t wear Nikes. I wear cowgirl boots, and those pointy toes HURT! 😁

Klaus Hubbertz's avatar

Less is MORE !!!

Have you ever lived outside the US ??? ...

Whatever you built-up in "the land of the free", when selling it, the sum will be worth a couple of times more if invested safely abroad.

It's rather dubious if your cowgirl boots will have any effect on the lads like ICE or worse ...

But it's your life, decision, thought, perception, hope, aspirations, etc., etc. which I fully respect.

Choose wisely (of course you do !!!)

Gorilla tack-ticks.

Am-bush.

Sleight of hand.

The little guy’s outgunned.

Good little germans in uniforms/costumes, can’t be trusted in any capacity.

If you wear “Caesar’s clothes”, who do you serve except Ceasar???

Seeing an “ice storm” up close and personal is way different than seeing it on the screen.

Overwhelmingly force is the deal.

I heard a joke today.

A brother was saying that when he heard that Charlie Kirk got shot from 200 yards, he was disappointed.

He knew it had to be a white man instead of a brother.

A brother woulda shot him at close range, in his face.

Not a fake blood squib in the neck, that didn’t take off his ugly head.

A 30-06???

Give me a fucking break!!!

Agreed gypsy33???

Ole Charlie woulda been hamburger.

gypsy33's avatar

Say whaaaaat Mike?

I didn’t even know they said Charlie was shot with a thirty ought six!

Shit his head would’ve ended up a thousand yards away!

One powerful weapon, ain’t it just, Mike? I almost need somebody to hold me up to fire one, them things KICK!

Mike Fish's avatar

Ohh yeah.

They said he was shot in the neck by a 30-06, and there was no exit wound, because his blessed bones stopped the bullet in its tracks.

Amazing that nobody including court tv is talking about this.

Just like nine eleven, and trump’s ear boo boo in butler, PA.

I still need to git something for pickin’ off vermin and “rats”.

In the meantime I lurk, and carry hand tools.

I’m still pretty athletic for an old man.

All that biking, snowmobiling, and making firewood.

Does a body good.

Inversion tables are also great.

I get the funny feeling that we’re gonna meet.

Michigan ain’t far from whizz-con-sin.

We’re fresh outta snow here.

No Polaris for me.

How’s the weather by you???

Nice to talk to you.

No fuckin’ russian_bot, thank gawd.

Weird how the riots stopped once they jammed Starlink, don't you think?

Hifza Syed's avatar

Love it! Brilliantly written.

Hifza Syed's avatar

Yes, disturbing as well. I just appreciated her writing quality.

Dillon's avatar

Maybe Handala can leak more than just the Epstein emails

Michael Kuesters's avatar

Love that as so many others from you, too.

A way how not to get too mad about reality!👏🙏✌️🌍

You’ve exposed their ridiculous fallacious arguments brilliantly!

It's a real pity Iranian women's pubic arrangements do not allow the tormentor general to grab them by their pussies.

It's a very sad state of affairs that the version the west puts up is so twisted beyond repair.

A lot of the content now on the internet is already generated by AI. And that’s where the problem lies, because the storyline can be so convincing to the masses and it could well be used, sometime in the future, to create very dangerous fake situations of, for example, world leaders being made to appear to be standing up and visually declaring war upon each other by streaming such fake videos; where however the real players never ever said or did such things; and where a computer programme was used to create a deep fake virtual imposter of sorts.

And this potentially goes all the way up to the situation of an all-knowing AI god where us, the lesser flesh-and-blood souls, will be asking the AI-god-Oracle existential questions we have no answers to/are not meant to have answers to.

The fight for artificial intelligence really is the fight for the monopoly on the very nature of reality itself and, given the type of individuals and entities that currently control technology, the future technology may in fact not be used in a way to benefit humanity. And, unless there are some safeguards to protect humanity from AI, which exponentially improves itself by ongoing coding and “learning”, the future may prove pretty dystopian.

In one of the scenes from the sci-fi feature film masterpiece, Blade Runner 2049, a conversation plays out between replicant (humanoid) manufacturer Wallace, and replicant assassin, Deckard, who previously fell in love with his target replicant, Rachel; and Wallace, in this scene, has brought Rachel back to life as a new replicant many years later:

Wallace (to Deckard): “Is it the same now, as then? The moment you met her. All these years, drunk on the memory of its perfection. How shiny her lips. How instant your connection. Did it ever occur to you that is why you were summoned in the first place? Designed to do nothing short of fall for her then and there? All to make that single perfect specimen. That is, if you were designed. Love, or mechanical precision? Yes? No?”

Deckard: “I know what’s real”.

Heard Ian Bremmer talking on Aljazeera this morning about his Eurasia consultancy group’s report “Top Risks for 2026, when he was asked about AI he said the great worry was the profit motive driving the development of AI, he said something like ”AI can program people faster than people can program AI”

I'm practicing, in my own life, to be as resilient, brave, strong and committed as these women are showing us. Thank you for sharing.

The riots ended days ago anyways once they got rid of the Zionist spies and traitors.

Fay Huntingdon-smythe's avatar

Absolutely love it; sadly, it's too close to the truth. Yes, all this spontaneous rioting is so convenient. Maybe Iran could change their name to Epstein Land; then it will be ignored as well. Dear Mike Pompeo, Even sending New Years greetings to the CIA and Mossad operatives working in solidarity with these people just waiting to be liberated by Heir Trump may have a teeny problem with attempting to reinstall a Pahlavi Shah, that famous 3000-year-old dynasty that actually started in 1921 when his grandfather staged a military coup, backed by the British, to get them there oil wells. I think King Donny may back down on this one as his little buddy BiBi is in danger of having his country blown back to 1946 when it didnt exist. then lose every American base and asset in the Middle East. Keep up the brilliant work Im busy getting a tattoo on my chest in solidarity with my sisters in Iran

misterkel's avatar

solid satire. good one.

Rebel Nun's avatar

Someone please bomb my country! I need to be liberated! I’m forbidden from walking into a grocery store topless. We oppressed ones aren’t allowed to smoke in hospitals or elevators. I can’t bring a machine gun into a courtroom. I can even be arrested for selling my children into sex slavery (unless I’m important)! Apparently there are “laws” and we choose the lawmakers (although they are then purchased by corporations, thanks to a lack of essential laws). The only way we can change this horrifying system is for someone from outside to bomb us to smithereens and take our resources! Save us here in the USA!

Paul Snyder's avatar

By random chance I met and developed a friendship with one of the nephews of the “Shah” during indoctrination training for our employment at a Nuclear Weapons Test Facility in the Nevada desert.

I didn’t really know much about Iran in general, the Pahlavi era, US complicity, or the transition to the Khomeini regime. The term “revolution” I feel to be too simplistic a characterization for the collapse of one ghoulish power structure to be replaced by another. Both could have been easily avoided had the West employed even moderately effective statecraft rather than fostering resource imperialism and a jingoistic “anti-communist” (really just anti-leftist and anti-Iranian worker) approach to the Middle East writ large.

I learned of various aspects of he and his wife’s family history. Some terrible, some mildly inspiring, most all were incredibly convoluted and inconsistent in ideology and political goals.

As examples, I’ll offer the Wikis of two of his relatives who followed very different paths to their ultimate assassinations. Worth reading for anyone who wishes to understand the complexities that have hung like a lead collar around the necks of the Iranian people for many decades.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shapour_Bakhtiar

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teymur_Bakhtiar

In contrast to those complexities, I’ll offer the bare bones sycophancy of our press in covering the Iran situation exactly as our regime would prescribe it be covered… without historical context and propping up Musk as though he were some sort of freedom fighter. As a reminder, the same Musk provided Starlink to Russia to use against the Ukrainians. Funny how the same press glossed over that bit of news:

https://www.nbcnews.com/world/iran/iran-protests-crackdown-tehran-body-bags-machine-gun-islamic-republic-rcna253946

Compare the granular descriptions of carnage visited upon the Iranians to the IDF scripted scant unquestioning coverage of the Gaza slaughter from our “allies” in Israel. The press had no problem going all chin strokey and “who can really know… it’s complicated!” on that one.

Western folk (and Iranian expats) expressing concern over the toppling of the IR regime demonstrate the sad phenomenon that the West has degraded its own credibility and motivations to such a degree that it competes with the horrific IR regime on a race to the bottom for which will most adversely effect the average Iranian.

Make no mistake, Trump fantasizes about being able to inflict identical carnage upon Americans that the IR does upon Iranians. The fact that the international press so readily enables and reinforces the propaganda coming out of an insane WH should “concern”(massive understatement) us all.

Thanks again for your efforts. Good piece. Hard to read, but necessary.
