Over the weekend four people were gunned down at a Waffle House restaurant in Nashville Tennessee. The perpetrator was Travis Reinking, another white thug who decided to show off his racial superiority by murdering innocent people. Then at another Waffle House, this one in Saraland Al, an African-American woman was roughed up by White cops who tore off her top leaving her exposed before arresting her. Chikesia Clemonsm the victim in this case, was arrested for getting into an argument with a waitress.
These two incidents show how racism is very much alive in America.

The Micro-War in Syria
Over the weekend the US, UK, and France launched a missile attack on Syria, after alleged use by the Syrians of chemical weapons. This is another example of a microwar; brief bombing/missile campaigns made for the appearance of "toughness." It's no coincidence that the perpetrators--Trump, May, Macron--are facing growing internal opposition to their policies. So launching such a microwar could serve as a distraction.

Mindless America
Last week we remembered the slaying of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on April 4, 1968. The following day Robert Kennedy gave a speech in Cleveland Ohio. The speech has come to be remembered as "On the Mindless Menace of Violence." The speech should be read in its entirety to get his message but he gave a powerful denunciation of the American addiction to violence:
This is a time of shame and sorrow. It is not a day for politics. I have saved this one opportunity to speak briefly to you about this mindless menace of violence in America which again stains our land and every one of our lives."
"Why? What has violence ever accomplished? What has it ever created? No martyr's cause has ever been stilled by his assassin's bullet. No wrongs have ever been righted by riots and civil disorders. A sniper is only a coward, not a hero, and an uncontrolled, uncontrollable mob is only the voice of madness, not the voice of the people."
Ironically, RFK himself was murdered just two months later.
On April 4, 2018 a woman attacked Headquarters of Google in San Bruno CA, wounded 3 employees, and committed suicide. It seems that the mindless violence RFK warned about has become the "normal." Any nutter with a grudge can buy guns and ammunition so of course it follows that this country is destroying itself.

Why Is the Left So Stupid?
A new twist in the tale of Julian Assange, the anarchist leak monger turned Trumper. Consider that I am on the receiving end of Trump's hatred, I hate Trump and anybody who supports him for any reason. Anyway, Assange has been holed up in the Ecuadoran embassy, claiming to be a "political refugee." Except that now the Ecuadorans have cutoff Assange's internet access. Too bad!
Anyway, in counterpunch.org a group of "activists" including Pamela Anderson, Jacob Appelbaum, Noam Chomsky, etc. Funny thing is that Anderson calls herself a "feminist" yet she sees no contradiction in supporting a Trumper. To be sure Anderson never seemed like the sharpest tool in the shed. But the odd thing is that so many "intelectuals" have jumped on the Assange bandwagon. What's wrong with these people? It turns out that many of these guys are also fans of Carles Puigedemont, a/k/a
the Iberian Jefferson Davis. Could it be that leftists really aren't that smart after all?
