Every day of America’s descent into moral depravity supporting, enabling Israel’s genocide in Gaza brings new madness.
Yesterday, former House Speaker went on CNN to compare the tens of millions of us Americans demanding ceasefire in Gaza to apologists spreading “Putin’s message. Make no mistake, this is directly connected to what he would like to see.”
So far Pelosi was correct but not for the venal reason she intended. Putin would like to see ceasefire in Gaza for the same reason the entire world, save for Israeli and US leaders, including Biden and Pelosi do… end the ongoing genocide. Biden and Pelosi viciously oppose ceasefire to continue their lockstep support of the Israeli leadership determined to make Gaza uninhabitable for its 2,300,000 Palestinians.
Being a good soldier in Biden’s crazed foreign policy, which is also destroying Ukraine, Pelosi then pivoted to charge, “Same thing with Ukraine. It’s about Putin’s message” That’s what known in propaganda circles as a “twofer.” Peace advocates seek to undermine benevolent US policy toward both Ukraine and Gaza, regardless those policies are destroying both.
Worst of all, Pelosi didn’t just stop at demonizing ceasefire advocates. She wants the FBI to investigate us. “Some of these protesters are sincere, but some, I think, are connected to Russia. I think some financing should be investigated. And I want to ask the FBI to investigate that.”
Good grief. As a spokesman in the peace community for ceasefire and end to US supported genocide, Pelosi’s got me pondering the next knock at my door. If it’s my local FBI dude, I’ll answer by asking…”Did Nancy send you?”

Does Pelosi need a brain transplant?! Crikey!
I think technically when one lacks something it is better termed “…need a brain IMPLANT.”
Pelosi should just join the GOP, her views are so out of touch with her constituents (San Francisco of all places!) it’s ridiculous. When a warmonger shows her true colors….
Pelosi is a Zionist Agent and should be arrested. The Zionists are in full panic mode and circling their wagons. Everywhere you go they are stepping on whatever they can to silence those who confront Zionism.
Here’s one example:

So it goes with Feinstein’s twin. Yesterday, I got an e-mail from her re-election committee, beseeching me to send money. How in the h*ll they got my e-mail address needs to be investigated by the FBI.
I actually like getting those e-mails. I always send back an f-bomb laden message and wait for a reply. I never seem to get any.
Nancy may be on to something regarding investigations into foreign money’s influence. AIPAC and the rest of the lobby should be first in line.
