Interesting read but you seem to miss the obvious tie-up even after you touch on it.

This influence is in direct proportion to how they serve the interests of the neocon’s who instigated the war in Ukraine. When their usefulness in helping promote & prolong this latest debacle by making it appear to be broader than just another neocon project, their “influence” will dissipate like a fart in a tsunami.

Bits and pieces. Of course this is partially driven by the defense contractors and those who get campaign kickbacks and whatnot. There is a money interest. People like George Soros, Palantir, Blackrock, etc..... wherever you go from the M.E. to Ukraine, whatever, the money, the elites, and the globalist propagandists all follow. The security state and defense contractors are the only ones that push for this because they want to reshape the globe to their design and their advantage.

There has been a steady program that has operated for decades now and was implemented using the U.S. military and wealth to secure the objectives of Israel.

The others you speak of have gone along for the ride and serve to divert people from understanding the signal from the noise.

You can see a strong connection between Ukraine and Israel, when it comes to propaganda, corruption, behavior on the battlefield, etc. And it's all so strange considering the neo-nazi element, and how Israel is behaving much like fascists of old. There's so many layers to this onion you could just keep peeling and peeling and never stop.

The nexus is the neocons.

It's really broader than that, though. It's the liberals too. It's the whole GD revolving door/dutch oven of elites that is American politics today. Certainly overenthusiastic to spend more money on foreign war, mainly for economic imperialism and crony capitalism without a shred of ethics or different core ideology.

Great write up Joe. Thanks for posting this. Have you shared any of your artwork here on Substack? I used to follow you on X some years ago. I bailed because I got tired of arguing with algorithms. You're an amazingly talented graphic artist.

Oh yeah, I am pretty good with remembering names and I remember yours! My followers on X have doubled or more since you were probably on there but I remember you. Thank you. I will maybe transition to art posting soon but that's all on my buymeacoffee now because it has a shop feature. I figured Substack would be better for actually writing informative articles and it seems so with it's functionality.

That’s great to hear about the followers on X. You were part of my daily scroll. Are you still on the family land? Last we talked you were having issues with getting electricity after the flood waters and whatnot. You can always link your buymecoffe to here as well.. just a thought.. i know i’ve gotten you plenty of cups of joe..

But yes.. Substack is great for long format articles and posts. No more of the Musk Haiku bullshit of 247 characters or whatever it is now..

Well, the Ukraine supporters have really gone hard against me now. I got my account suspended a while back and only by a miracle did it come back. But the fight against propaganda continues.

Yeah, still on the farm. Still struggling as a disabled guy and now suing the government for help, so if you ever feel like it - I would be super appreciative. I've also got a lot of my art up for sale cheap because I'm trying to dig myself out of a hole as best I can. Just trying to survive day-to-day, offering what I can without begging, which is art and my creative skills.

I'll figure out how to link it somewhere visible to everyone later. Right now I am exhausted and dying in this Georgia heat so I'm going to lay down. Good knowing you can follow my stuff on here again though!

You're very kind. If you want to send me an address, I will find you a piece of art and mail it just for the favor. something small, not exactly my best stuff worth posting but you'll have something to say thank you. You're in CA right? (Because I have stamps lol it would be cheap). My spam (public) email is fancychickenfarms@yahoo.
