Kamala Harris is Going To Blow Up the World
We need to let Democrats know that we will not comply with right-wing nationalism and war crimes to win an election
It’s already painfully obvious that Kamala Harris will do anything and be anyone she needs to be in order to get elected. On the subject of Israel and Gaza, she has repeated dozens of times that her commitment to Israel is “unwavering,” meaning she will continue the flow of unconditional weapons and aid to the diabolical government of Israel which stands far to the right of Trump. When it comes to immigration, she is in favor of policy to the right of George W Bush and aligned with Trump, including the mass denial of asylum rights, effectively shutting down the southern border and continuing construction on Trump’s border wall. She was a “tough on crime” prosecutor and from every indication will continue pushing for increased surveillance, militaristic policing and the silencing of free speech. So it comes as no surprise that Harris has nothing to say regarding Israel’s terror attacks on Lebanon, yet uses that attack to stoke the fires of John McCain’s fantasy of war with Iran . She calls for an “immediate ceasefire” in Gaza but instead gets an expansion of Israel’s reign of terror into Lebanon, with thousands killed and injured in their latest bombing campaign. Harris offers only justification for Israel’s apparent deathwish in their attempts to expand the US mission of destabilization and dehumanization in the Middle East, as if any more evidence of her blank-slate deference to toxic neoconservatism. In his debate with JD Vance, a withering Tim Walz declared at the outset that “Let’s keep in mind where this started. October 7th, Hamas terrorists massacred over 1,400 Israelis and took prisoners,” confirming that this “cuddly dad” is just another neoconservative propagandist for Zionism and American imperialism, as the reality is “this started” 75 years ago when Israel displaced some 800,000 Palestinians out of their own territory and the Israeli occupation of Palestine began. And for the record, the actual civilian death toll in Israel on October 7th was 695, not 1,400. It needs to be emphasized that Walz also let the cat out of the bag by calling for the “expansion of Israel and its proxies” as being “an absolute fundamental necessity for the United States to have the steady leadership there.” Walz cannot say he “misspoke” (as he has for the fourth time during this campaign) as US policy is offering diplomatic cover for Israel, 50,000 tons of bombs and “unwavering” support for Israeli settlements and occupation.
<Graphic documentation of the terrorist nature of Israeli attacks on Lebanon. The pager attacks were not precise as claimed by Demcocrats but indiscriminate, killing and injuring children, health care workers and municipal employees. US media thought the attacks were “creative,” with Kamala Harris pitching in with the establishment “Israel has the right to defend itself” gaslighting routine.>
It comes as even less of a surprise that Harris is stuttering and stammering about the urgency of ending Israel’s genocide, in her words “We need to get this deal done ... and that is my position, that is my policy." One problem with this “policy” is that Netanyahu has openly declared he will not accept any “deal” until Hamas is eliminated, an endpoint which intelligence and military experts alike acknowledge is virtually impossible. US media portrays Hamas as the obstacle to peace in the region, but it was only 6 months ago that Palestinians were dancing in the street in response to Hamas’s acceptance of a peace agreement only to have Netanyahu reject a ceasefire once again. But the most obvious fault with Harris’s rhetoric on Gaza is that she or Biden could stop Israel’s terror rampage in its tracks with a phone call informing Netanyahu that all US military aid and political protection is ending. At this point, it is painfully obvious that Harris’s deflection to “getting a deal done” is to divert from the obvious deduction that Harris herself could end the carnage if she actually wanted to as UN experts warn that US weapons transfers to Israel may qualify as complicity in international crimes including genocide.
The reason for Harris’s switch to stronger rhetoric about ending the war and the urgency of a two-state solution is internal polling that shows her falling behind Green Party candidate Jill Stein with Muslim voters in several swing states. While this should come as no surprise considering that Democrats have been slaughtering Muslims with impunity for at least 20 years, the party’s Islamaphobia is now out in the open as the liberal base brushes aside their own xenophobia to focus on that of Trump’s, somehow rationalizing that a Muslim travel ban and the potential for Trump to be “worse” for the Palestinian people justifies their enduring support for genocide. The reality is that speculative Trumpaphobic relativism and labeling anti-war activists as “antisemites” and “agents of Putin” will not bring the Muslim vote back to Harris and the Democrats. The Democratic Party, their base, and their media from Robert Reich to Rachel Maddow to Dana Bash have shown their true colors.
<A Palestenian woman tells the truth to Zionist propagandist and ten million dollar woman Dana Bash, one of many celebrity news anchors serving as a stenographer for the Democratic Party warmongers. CNN regularly amplifies Islamaphobia in its bid to transform Americans to right-wing xenophobes. It’s been successful to that end with Biden/Harris liberals.>
The sadism of Democrats is embodied in Senator John Fetterman’s enthusiasm for Israel’s terrorist pager attack on Lebanon, smiling when he proclaimed “In fact if anything I love it.” Many prominent Democrats praised the precision of Israel’s terror attack, so precise it left several children dead and hundreds of civilians injured. Newsweek asserted that the pager attacks were “the most audacious and unprecedented counter-terrorism precision attack in military history, and one that was entirely justified and in full accordance with international law.” Senator Ben Schautz asserted “but for those of us who have been critical of the conduct of the war in terms of [there being] too high of a tolerance for civilian casualties, we should be a little cautious to criticize an operation this precise.” Senator Richard Blumenthal celebrated “This attack was definitely aimed precisely at Hezbollah and seems to have been highly successful. It seems to have been extremely strategic.” Senator Mark Kelly was impressed, admiring that it was it was a “creative way to go after a terrorist organization.” There are dozens of other similar statements from prominent Democrats and their media stenographers. It is highly doubtful if the pager attack was implemented by Hamas or Hezbollah that Democrats and their media would be describing it in such glowing terms. To Biden/Harris liberals, protecting a woman’s right not to have a baby is the number one priority, but protecting Muslim children already born and pregnant women is of no consequence. The massacre of these innocents is something to justify, to cover up, to excuse in the interest of Jewish Supremacy and “beating Trump.” While liberals grandstand on the issue of right-wing White Supremacy, they exercise it in a more consequential fashion than the Republicans they love to hate, mixing it into a malignant stew of Zionism and American Exceptionalism.
The fact that there is any competitive nature to this presidential race is a testament to the inauthenticity of the Democratic Party and their undemocratic process. At this point Trump is no more than a rambling stooge, unable to come up with any vestige of the stand-up comedy routine and faux populism that got him into the White House in the first place. There must be something terribly wrong with the Democratic Party and its candidate, or with the vestiges of our “democracy” itself, to have any semblance of a competitive presidential election. Democrats still blame Bernie Sanders supporters, James Comey and Putin for Hillary Clinton’s loss in 2016, failing to acknowledge that she was and is as much of a sociopathic liar as Trump and as such ran a terrible campaign. If voters were confident that a particular candidate of the duopoly genuinely represented their interests a know-nothing narcissistic sociopath like Trump would not even be able to mount a run for higher office. It is a testament to the Democratic Party’s allegiance to American militarism and oligarchy over the public interest at large that Harris cannot exert a statistically significant lead over Trump. Perhaps the party is being forced to face the reality that they can only rely on a certain percentage of liberals to follow them into the spiritual void where genocide, abuse of immigrants, mass surveillance, escalation to World War III and the silencing of free speech are all defensible in light of the looming threat of Trump. Perhaps the Muslim community that has been so vilified by Democrats will find redemption in showing the party of genocide and AIPAC fascism that there are consequences for such amoral and sanguinary behavior.
But at this point it seems clear that Democrats will receive no such redemption. The non-partisan component of the US populus that has not yet been indoctrinated with political party talking points amplified by hundred millionaire celebrity news anchors has rejected the duopoly with independents at an all-time high as the percentage of the total electorate. At the end of 2023 only 27% of voters identified themselves as Democrats, matching the 27% who identified as Republicans. In several swing states it appears that Muslim voters are waking up to the reality that Democrats are as or more politically expedient and Islamaphobic as Republicans, and the difference for them is a travel ban from Republicans or mass annihilation and starvation from Democrats. In Michigan, Wisconsin and Arizona Green Party candidate Jill Stein leads Harris, with Michigan seeing both Stein AND Trump ahead of Harris with the Muslim electorate. The fact is that the Democratic Party and their media’s rhetoric is grotesquely Islamaphobic, minimizing the horrors inflicted on the Palestinian people now and for decades by the terrorist state of Israel while preaching sympathetic for a single Israeli hostage (never citing that Israel has killed many of its own hostages). Debunked lies about photos of beheaded babies and mass rape campaigns by Hamas are repeated with regularity by Harris, Biden and the vast majority of the newsmedia, while Israel’s actual systemic rape and torture of Palestinian prisoners, most of them civilians including journalists and health care workers, goes completely ignored. Harris’s standard-issue rhetoric of sympathy for Palestinians is belied by her repeated assurances of her “unwavering support for Israel” in the face of their terrorist attacks on Palestine, Lebanon and most recently Yemen.
As Harris adopts the rhetoric of American imperialism and Zionism, it is now Iran that the ruling class has directed her to scapegoat as America’s “greatest enemy.” Of course, while America’s greatest enemy is itself and its allegiance to the fundamentalist theocracy of Israel, it becomes a certainty that Kamala Harris is worse than Biden in that she has no ideology other than harsh prosecutorial judgment, catering to right-wing xenophobia regarding immigrants and Muslims and serving American empire. It is encouraging that the Muslim community is not acting out of fear like most of the liberal base in their rejection of Kamala Harris and the Democrats. Of course, what more is there to fear when Democrats are aiding and abetting a terrorist theocracy in the genocide of your loved ones and the obliteration of your countries. Kamala Harris is not a leader but a follower, the very definition of an establishment politician who will spout prefabbed rhetoric and parrot establishment propaganda in service of the ruling class of which she is auditioning to become a part of. In response to Iran’s bombing of Israel in response to Israel’s indiscriminate bombing of Lebanon, this is Harris’s chilling propaganda:
“I condemn this attack unequivocally. I'm clear eyed, Iran is a destabilizing, dangerous force in the Middle East, and today's attack on Israel only further demonstrates that fact,” she said, confirming she was in the Situation Room with Biden and supported Biden’s decision to shoot down Iranian rockets. “As I have said, I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself against Iran and Iran backed terrorist militias. My commitment to the security of Israel is unwavering.”
In her “clear eyed” service to her transnational corporate masters, Harris shows she is part of the problem and not the solution. Israel is the destabilizing force that provoked the Iranian attacks. Hezbollah was formed in 1983 in response to Israel’s bombing and subsequent occupation of Lebanon in 1982 as it attempted to turn Lebanon into Gaza. Ronald Reagan stopped Israel’s massacre of 40,000 Lebanese with a phone call, calling it a “holocaust.” It is Israel who is currently bombing four countries in the region, and like its daddy America it occupies, terrorizes and provokes other countries and then blames that country for their response. It is Israel who has illegally occupied Palestinian territories for decades and perpetrated the most heinous of torture and human rights abuses against the Palestinian people. It is Israel that is a rogue theocratic terror state, the majority of its citizens taking delight in the elimination of Palestinians and Muslims in general while they claim to be the victims of Muslim violence. Those staffing the Biden/Harris foreign policy cabinet are not to be trusted. The smirking cabal of Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan and Matthew Miller have been making the rounds for months unchallenged by celebrity newsmedia claiming that their mobilization of warships to the Middle East and bottomless shipments of munitions to the region is in the interest of de-escalation. That strategy of “de-escalation” has had the opposite effect, as have all of their other foreign policy strategies. They are always wrong and dishonest yet never held accountable. All they have to protect them is the ultra-nationalism stoked by the likes of Jake Tapper, Dana Bash and virtually every major news outlet which is gaslighting Americans to the point of fanaticism.
And so out of fear of Trump Democrats will comply with Israel’s provocation of a devastating regional war that has already killed hundreds of thousands in Gaza, and several thousand in Lebanon. Democrats are losing their proxy war in Ukraine and must shift the ire of their McCarthyized base towards another imagined threat, this time the Muslim “terrorism” that threatens Israel, which of course means Harris liberals must somehow justify her cheerleading for yet another escalation of a regional war only one step removed from World War III. Harris liberals believe that war is a substitute for foreign policy, as if giving Israel tens of billions in military aid and then sending $157 million in humanitarian aid to Lebanon to mitigate the carnage inflicted upon the Lebanese people by our military aid to Israel is anything but moronic. Harris liberals believe that both Biden and Harris are helpless to rein in Israel, yet all that has to be done is for one of them to pull the plug on the flow of weapons and money. Of course they believe these things to a toxic stream of CNN, MSNBC and Sunday network “news” programs. On ABC’s State of the Union, Democratic Senator Mark Kelley had the nerve to say that Muslims should vote for Kamala Harris because she is committed to their values and because peace in the Middle East is a the top of her list of priorities. Apparently her commitment to peace in the Middle East is comprised of ginning up support for a war with Iran while demonizing Islamic organizations formed in response to Israeli occupation:
“The aid that we have given Israel allowed Israel to defend itself against 200 ballistic missiles that were just meant to attack the Israelis and the people of Israel,” she said. “When we think about the threat that Hamas, Hezbollah presents, Iran, I think that it is without any question our imperative to do what we can to allow Israel to defend itself against those kinds of attacks.”
Apart from Harris’s scrambled response, now something of a trademark for such an unvetted and unqualified presidential appointee, the substance is typically misleading as it lacks context regarding who is actually defending themselves and who is the aggressor. This confusion is part and parcel of US foreign policy particularly as it pertains to Israel, with the US joined by European countries and Israel itself in portraying Israel, the aggressor and occupier with the 17th most powerful military in the world backed by the most powerful military in the world, as the victim and the victims of Israel’s aggression and occupation as the aggressors. Of course, this mischaracterization is accepted by Americans whose country was founded on White Supremacy and whose population be it liberal or conservative are open to dehumanizing Muslims. As long as the Muslim population is seen as less than human the liberal refusal to call out Biden and Harris for their complicity in Israel’s genocide can be excused in light of the petrifying prospect of a Trump presidency.
As American troops are being sent to Israel in the buildup to war with Iran, it becomes obvious we are burdened with the dubious responsibility of having to stop two sociopaths. Regardless of the threat Trump poses, Harris must be stopped as well. Not only when it comes to her embrace of the genocide in Gaza, but as it pertains to a reframing of prioritizing threats. The biggest threat to US stability and security right now is not Russia, China, Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah or North Korea. It’s a health care system collapsing under the burden of its own weight. It’s a public education system in rapid decline. It’s stagnant wages and labor abuses. It’s poverty and homelessness. It’s record wealth inequality that is only getting worse. It’s climate change that Demcrats boast about investing less than 15% per year of what we invest in blowing things up around the world as some crowning achievement. Republicans might be crazy, but so are Democrats to throw scraps to us peasants at the behest of the lobbyists and then campaign on legislation that barely scratches the surface. If Harris were any type of leader with any vestige of a moral compass she would stand up against sending troops to Israel and speak out against war with Iran. But the DNC platform had war with Iran practically written into it. That is what the donors in the million dollar boxes at the United Center in Chicago wanted, and that’s what Harris will give them. To me someone as vacuous and power hungry as Harris, someone who will blindly do the bidding of the felonious warmongers, is just as dangerous as Trump, and thus far her actions have caused far more morbidity and mortality than Trump ever did.
<How low can you go? Kamala Harris’s latest campaign ad boasts endorsements from a ghoul’s gallery of the some of the biggest liars, torturers and degenerates in US history. Of course Trump’s bloodthirsty National Security Advisor John Bolton, who was an architect of the Iraq War and advocated for war in Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, North Korea, Cuba and Venezuela would endorse Harris over Trump. All Trump would do for him is assassinate Iran’s Major General Soleimani. Bolton is bitter than he wouldn’t go further and is confident Harris will.?
But somehow the black woman who blithely supports the massacre of black women around the globe for her own political gain and who has openly said she would never do anything legislatively “that’s only gonna benefit black people” is laudable for making history. Perhaps in that she is very close to making us all history, but not in that she will seek justice for those who historically have been marginalized and oppressed. Having a woman as president is an idealized notion as if the options were Nikki Haley or Sarah Palin or Marjorie Taylor Greene, Republicans who are just as mercenary as any male alternative, liberals would hardly be celebrating the “historic” potential of their candidacy. While there is something to be said for symbolism, that alone will do nothing for the darkness imbued by livestreamed genocide and dueling sociopathic political parties. Harris is on the dark side of the spiritual and moral sphere inhabited by the arbiters of poor judgment and American Exceptionalism who have been promoting a worldview that demonizes any country that does not comply with our economic and geopolitical agenda. So when asked if Harris is worse than Trump, it is possible to recognize Trump as a madman but also to acknowledge that in her rudderless allegiance to the cabal that has brought us to this precarious point in history, one with unchecked hubris that persists in escalating and promoting military conflicts around the world with the help of the political parties and media they employ, Harris is just as dangerous.
Following is a list of suggested actions and groups who are working to stop Kamala Harris and the Democrats and their inevitable escalation towards World War III:
CALL your representatives and tell them you will not vote for them or Harris unless they stop sending weapons to Israel AND they start using diplomacy in the Middle East and Ukraine in lieu of sending endless streams of weapons at our collective expense. You can call the central switchboard number below or contact your representative directly through their website.
SENATE and HOUSE: (202) 224-3121
“The Abandon Harris Campaign (formerly the Abandon Biden Campaign) seeks to empower people of conscience to leverage their vote for the US presidency and, consequently, effect moral change in the United States and around the world. The campaign seeks to unite and mobilize all people of conscience to forge a national movement built around grassroots organizing, political lobbying, public advocacy, and voter mobilization to effectively transform people of conscience resisting genocide as a powerful voting block that cannot be ignored.”

3. “With the world’s eyes on Gaza the president must listen to us - the more than half a million anti-war voters who are demanding he change course on Gaza to end the suffering and death. It’s appalling that biden has the power to save so many human lives yet chooses not to intervene. The Democratic Party must heed our call and come together ahead of the election to fight racism in November.

4. Green Party candidate Jill Stein is running on an anti-genocide, anti-war platform and is on the ballot in at least 46 states. Writing her in is a direct and meaningful statement to the Democratic Party.
5. Kshama Sawant’s independent organization Workers Strike Back is committed to organizing labor in the fight against perpetual war and genocide. They are working on forming an alternative political party that prioritizes the needs of working Americans over those of the ruling class.

Nailed it, indeed. I wish you could publish your work on something other than the Substack universe. Of course, your article has far too much truth for any "mainstream" media to carry.
It is clear the author wishes neither Trump nor Harris should win the presidency. There is no third party viable enough to prevent one of them from winning the election, however. How does pointing out Harris's stands have to do with preventing her or Trump from being president? I do not see how a current stand against Harris succeeds in making our country more tolerable for Muslims or Palestinians. Is the solution to eventually have Independents coalesce into an anti-establishment party? That could take generations. If Trump succeeds as president, with Vance ready to take the reins, how will their Christian nationalism help Muslims, or Palestinians? Would their regime not be worse for Arab peoples? By not having Harris as president, for instance, attacks against Muslims will be horrific, and Trump himself has said the solution for Israel is to nuke the Palestinians. I see the point about Harris's continuation of Biden's Middle East policies, but is not the Republican candidate in this campaign a worse alternative?
