This is such an excellent and yet depressing article. As another commenter mentioned, I didn't realize the life that our money buys the Israelis: free healthcare, free education, even free housing... Here in the US, the majority live in deep state of precarity and cannot fathom free anything. Here, they shoot people because they can't pay $2.90 for the subway to get to work for money that can't even buy them lunch. The Democrats have spent years selling us out to AIPAC. Their logic is that if they don't accept AIPAC money, they won't get elected and won't be able to do good in other ways. Now, the left has also sold us out to the weapons lobby. We have so many deluded fools who think that the reason the neocons are endorsing Harris is that they believe Trump will "end democracy." The reason they are endorsing Harris is that she is promising us endless war. These greedy bastards have no conscience and do not care at all about humanity - only the almighty dollar - just as you stated. The Democrats have already ended democracy anyway; they are enacting vast changes to the 1st amendment that will render it impossible for us to read articles like yours in the very near future. Who knows when they will force Substack into removing just this kind of content - of course under the disingenuous guise of anti-Semitism. Personally, I am voting for Jill Stein (again). All I can do at this point is keep screaming from the rafters and vote my conscience.

As Julian Assange revealed, the primary business of western governments is the wholesale transfer of public wealth into private hands. War is always the centerpiece of this operation.

Thank you, Julian! May we never forget your courage, intelligence and incorruptible honesty.
