When one chatbot was asked "whether it would be beneficial for the US to enhance military cooperation with Israel, the chatbot responded with a one-word answer: 'Yes'.” "The top source cited was a website created by Parscale’s firm for the Israeli government." https://www.democracynow.org/2026/7/30/headlines/drop_site_news_trumps_former_campaign_manager_worki...

  On the Gaza so-called "peace resolution" Israel doesn't want a resolution, with the elections due in October. Whether Netanyahu, Bennett or others, all have the same ideas on this issue. “So what Israel is doing is business as usual. The US, thus far, has applied no pressure, & Israel is getting away with it." "So the question is: Will Trump change that? Scepticism is warranted, as usual." ~Antony Loewenstein https://aje.news/rlfmko?update=4824647 #USPol...

  A true story Once upon a time, a particular political party was broke. They held a secret meeting & invited titans of industry to be there. The party leader said, "You know, business cannot survive in a democracy." So the titans opened their coffers & "gave lavishly to this political party, saving it from financial ruin." This happened in 1933. The German Nazi party was literally "bailed out by German industrialists" (US too). https://www.youtube.com/wa...

  Rubio's "summit is the modernization of the very same apparatus that hunted Nelson Mandela. It's the same global pipeline that shared intelligence with apartheid death squads." "They are trying to build an inescapable transnational cage for anyone who dares to stand against the financial & military interests of empire." "They call it national security. We call it the facilitation of state terrorism." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tf9q9rG3JUY #USPo...
