Hillary Clinton Email: Overthrow Assad, Destroy Syria For Israel
A newly-released Hillary Clinton email published by Wikileaks has confirmed that the Obama Administration helped ignite the civil war in Syria as “the best way to help Israel.”
Clinton also says that the best course of action is to “use force” to overthrow the Syrian government, specifically because it is in Israel’s interest and that she believes this will undermine the “regional alliance” between Syria, Hezbollah, and Iran and will help halt Iran’s growing nuclear capability.
The email sheds light on United States policy towards the Middle East and makes it clear that the policy of the U.S. has been to encourage and provoke a civil conflict in Syria to further its geopolitical interests and those of Israel from the very beginning. These words are especially alarming coming from a senior federal official in charge of American foreign policy.
Clinton specifically mentions Iran’s nuclear program as threatening Israel’s atomic monopoly in the Middle East, and that other “adversaries” in the region could be encouraged to go nuclear as well and threaten the interests of the U.S. and Israel. In true realpolitik Machiavellian logic, this means that Syria must be destroyed.

A few weeks ago I went to the Milwaukee Art Museum with a friend and we got to go into this glass box called The Infinity Chamber. Inside there are mirrors and lights and together they resemble the stars and constellations; outer space. It’s probably one of the coolest things ever.

J. Dorman Steele - Lunar Eclipse, “Fourteen Weeks in Descriptive Astronomy”, 1873.
“overpopulation” is what racist liberals blame the ecological crisis on. you know…not capitalism stripping the earth of resources or anything. Your average millionaire probably consumes about as much resources as 1,000 working class people.
yes this is such a brilliant point and building off of it, how about that narrative that shames ~third world countries~ for their population growth rates as the major factor in the depletion of natural resources and as the harbinger of future ecological doom meanwhile you’ve got countries like the uk (with 60 million people) using more natural resources and goods than countries like china (with over a billion people) or entire continents like africa/south america, and then you’ve got the united states using as many or more fossil fuels as china and india (even though both have four times as many people). like western academics are so quick to point fingers at the ‘developing world’ while ignoring the very crucial fact that the capitalist imperialist/neoimperialist societies of the west are using natural resources at unprecedented rates/many times more than the rest of the world combined and that if the rest of the world had their per capita usage it would take something like 4 more earths to sustain this kind of living

Peering deep into the early Universe, this picturesque parallel field observation from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope reveals thousands of colourful galaxies swimming in the inky blackness of space. A few foreground stars from our own galaxy, the Milky Way, are also visible.
