There is a beacon of hope in this hour of darkness. China has reportedly brokered a deal with the 14 different groups within Palestine, among which Hamas is one. By consolidating the disparate groups under one umbrella, Hamas is no longer a lone wolf. For Israel to argue that Palestinians are only killed because Hamas is hiding behind them is no longer factually correct.

In addition, the inability of the hegemon to exact a desired outcome in Gaza, i.e., the cessation of hostilities there, is not only a major embarrassment for the hegemon, but a clear sign of receding power. This is no small thing. The slaughter in Gaza is rippling across the planet. The dirt poor Houthis in Yemen are taking on the responsibility to act, as mandated by the International Court to act to end genocide when possible. They are closing off access to the Red Sea which is impeding U.S. naval vessels and Israeli staples. They are bombing the forces committing the slaughter. They are heroes.

Add to this the words of Vladimir Putin, who, following the Kiiv incursion into Kursk. NATO will be punished at a time of his choosing. His response will be asymmetrical. So Russia has given defensive weaponry to Iran to protect them when they respond to Israel's assassination of the lead Palestinian negotiator. Iran already possesses missiles that can defeat the Israeli shield.

Moreover, in case Americans are not getting the message, their state is awash in criminal blood, and the Palestinians are bravely standing up across the globe to be heard. They don't make threats, they are armed with the truth. They are the tip of the anti-imperialism spear. The hegemon depends on the control and death of their people to exacerbate the regional fear of the Israelis. That time has come and gone. If there is a President Harris, she will get no quarter. She will be shellshocked with protests and pleas and condemnation. She will be blamed for losing the empire!

Lastly, I heard Shahid Bolsen claim that the notorious MBS, the reviled leader of Saudi is in hiding because the Americans want regime change. Mohammed Bin Salmen was approached by the West, to offset Saudi's enlisting in BRICS, asking him to make a deal with Israel. MBS agreed, but ONLY if the deal achieves the creation of a Palestinian State. So if this is the case, the hegemon now wants regime change in Israel to end the genocide, in Saudi to preserve the apartheid state, and in Russia to re-loot that state. Typical of waning empires, the appetite for control grows as the capacity to control withers. God help us all.
