It makes me sick to my stomach how brainwashed the “Activists” are. Majority are bought and paid for shills. But I’m glad we see them on the streets so we don’t have any illusions about who they are and what they’re up to. Let them scream, they’re demonstrating their own ignorance, stupidity and hypocrisy.
Though as Dietrich Bonhoeffer said, the Stupid among us are more dangerous than the evil ones.
Then there’s the Iranian group celebrating the possibility of freedom and the hope for the future to chart their own course. It’s a beautiful thing. After watching the March of the Shills it feels like being covered in mud then taking a nice hot shower watching the Iranians in their joy.
Nothing. They’re a Leftist/Marxist/Islamist coalition. Their sole purpose is to brainwash, cause chaos, sew division, and use violence against others they deem not conforming to their poisonous ideologies. This is their playbook and it’s not new. It never ends well.
I don't know what traditional hours are, really. I had three different careers. In two, I rarely had weekends off and had to respond to certain events whenever they occurred. In the third and last, I was on call 24/7/365 as a systems analyst. With what little time I could call my own - - even if for a few minutes during the day - - I did whatever I damned well pleased.
You mean the neo conservative Iranian diaspora dumbasses who support an unjust illegal War?? that makes you feel like you took a shower when you see them.... 😆
In continuing to be outraged by everything Trump says or does, the left embarrasses itself again; it should never, ever again be allowed to proclaim that it stands for the politically oppressed outside our borders.
Some meddling faction is now pushing the Shah's son to take power. I think a majority of the Iranians themselves are not so stupid to believe any effort to replacing the current killer regime with (even the appearance of) a *prior* killing regime need not be looked at with extreme suspicion.
After all, it was the Shah's regime which catalyzed religious zealots to succeed in 1979. History didn't start 47 years ago, but that's of course what the warmongers are pushing.
You have no actual evidence any of them are paid for but your lunatic mind has no problem being propagandized into believing it without needing evidence because YOU are the one who is brainwashed, not these anti war activists who don’t want to see Americans dying for Jewish supremacist Israel.
There is plenty of evidence they’re paid. You’re being cognitively dissonant about it that’s all.
That aside here’s a response I gave to someone earlier. Do yourself a favor and get educated:
Iran is not Vietnam. And if you were educated in what’s actually happening you’d know this is actually about not shedding the precious blood of our youth in the future. This is solely about Iran and the greater ME only for Israel, but not for the US. For the US there is a much bigger picture.
For the US It’s about China primarily and Russia. Iran embedded itself with China and Russia allowing them all to move forward with their goals of destroying the West and replacing America as the world’s superpower. The war in Ukraine is propped up by Iran as a proxy to Russia and China. Iran supplies energy and arms and even a base for China in the port of Jask in Iran. Read Haviv Rettig Gurs excellent analysis here: https://bariweiss.substack.com/p/this-isnt-israels-war-its-americas?r=kp9du&utm_medium=ios
So, so called “Activists” or the hired shills protesting this war are brainwashed, ignorant and useful tools for despots. Because if they were not so ignorant and brainwashed and actually did some research they’d know exactly why reigning in the snake that’s at the head of Iran’s IRGC and helping liberate Iranians to chart their own course is paramount to the West’s survival.
Clearly some of the activist don’t think that a universal good. But it is and their sorry asses will be saved too.
Linking the Jewish Supremacist Free Press to tell me how China caused us to go to war with Iran while calling other people unthinking paid shills is the funniest shit I’ve seen in a Racket comment section in a while.
One cannot get a word in edgewise there without crazed religious hyenas flinging shit on you -- and I'm not talking Muslims. There is an overwhelming gang-up factor, as you must know, that spreads out from somewhere and infects every alt blog I subscribe to. Hog-the-bullhorn is the nakedly obvious rule of the day. Zionists won't be worrying just about Muslim immigrants soon, they'll be mad about everything and everybody, and the hoary old antisemitism charge against all comers is wilting in the sun.
The effect is now wholesale backfiring, and I suspect that fact fuels their rage and paranoia.
Listen to yourself, again asserting without a shred of evidence and CONTRARY to The Rackets OWN REPORTING that these protesters are paid.
You can’t offer any evidence at all that it’s actually true, so instead you bring up reports that are totally irrelevant to proving the actual claim you made. Because you can’t prove it, you can’t even offer the most basic evidence that any of these protesters is a “paid shill.” Let alone the vast majority of them, which you claimed.
When pressed for evidence, you assert it’s true on its face and that anybody who disagrees is in denial.
These are the words of a brainwashed idiot trying to convince others that *they* are the ones who don’t think for themselves. It’s so stupid it hurts. But more than stupid, it’s arrogant and self-assured. Fueled by jingoism, a false sense of patriotism, and a media diet that feeds you shit you want to hear.
Zero. Evidence. Ford Fischer himself reported this last time in Minneapolis, no paid protesters. Then people like you called him a shill for failing to report the collective fantasy you toddlers believe in because Fox News told you so.
Oh my goodness, truth hurts obviously. But for your own sake calm down. Or not, up to you. Maybe have a cup of tea or go for a walk. Or carry on hurling the insults, which is I’d hazard a guess what you’ll do. You’re mad and you’re wrong.
Hahahaha! I love how you on the Left use “Zionist” as a pejorative. Unbelievably ignorant when you consider the ancient land of Israel is Zion, a name given to it by God. So call me Zionist all day long, go right ahead.
The contrast between supporters of the war and its detractors is telling. Knowing their country, their people and the Theo-kleptocracy running Iran, Persians worldwide are enjoying unadulterated celebration. The naysayers are our professional protesters from organizations like BLM, Antifa, Code Pink, etc. who could barely find Iran on a map. Yawn.
The Persians in Iran have been cheering as well, at least until the Basij shoot them or haul them off to be tortured. Your comment is so misinformed it doesn’t merit a serious response.
I’m not sure how much there is to learn from seeing another protest. They’re all pretty much the same. The only notable thing is that they are always left wing without a right wing analog. The other thing is the strong suspicion that they are organized and funded at least in part by individuals, organizations, and possibly other nations that don’t have American interests at heart. But of course nothing will be done about that.
"I’m not sure how much there is to learn from seeing another protest."
On a visceral level, they demonstrate at least the level of will that is rising, constantly appearing, day after day, month after month. They show that there's plenty to learn about the opposition to the decades-long series of wars US/Israel have taken to conquer the Middle East.
Completely deranged lunatics in the comments on Racket insisting, without a shred of evidence, and CONTRARY to reports from Racket News itself, that these protesters are paid to protest.
This is a claim repeated without even a fleeting requirement for any factual substantiation. It’s simply asserted without evidence and if you disagree, YOU’RE PAID TOO!
This is a kind of low IQ mental illness that many saw in Democrats when it came to their beliefs about everybody being white supremacists or secret Nazis. No evidence required, simply slap the label and and continue to drool like a retard, most importantly, lumping in ANYBODY who dares demand evidence as also being white supremacist secret Nazis.
This kind of disgusting troglodyte behavior is what one expects from brainwashed lemmings with a tainted infotainment diet fed by propagandists, yet they are the first ones to consistently label other Americans expressing their own free speech as paid for and brainwashed.
It’s disgusting. Send your family to go fucking die for Israel. Then when you’re crying at their funeral I can tell you all the attendees are “paid” mourners.
How'd you like to get caught in that crowd? Picture Peter Sellers saying, "but I'm just trying to walk to the store to to buy a quart of milk!". ( my first thought was Woody Allen but he might not be politically correct?)
The elephant in the conversation is oil. Religion is just another human construct used to terrorize/subjugate the masses or inflame them to fight wars they are told are about "god" but never actually are.
Yes, the U.S. has plenty of oil for its own needs. It doesn't seek self-sufficiency though. It seeks empire. It seeks to control the global FLOW of oil (and LNG) and thus to enrich the global corporations (all of them including oil-dependent Big Ag) that use "protecting Israel" as an excuse to get US taxpayers to foot the bill for the military bases and wars and coups whose only real purpose is to protect and grow U.S. corporate power. Ukraine was used in the same way. The goal was to weaken and then break apart Russia. Ukraine is our proxy. And like the Islamic nations now at war, Russian/Ukrainian slavs have much in common—and THIS is what must be addressed, by inventing and fomenting differences among them that can be used to get then to fight our wars.
The sooner we "ordinary Americans" see this clearly, despite the efforts of the corporate-sponsored media to prevent us from seeing it, the sooner we will rise up against the ruling class. We-the-people are the world's only check on our elites' rapacious ways. They prey on us in much the same way they prey on other nations. We no longer have a middle class. The wealth gap keeps widening.
The BRICS nations led by Russia and China can only do some much to counter the out-of-control U.S. war machine. Job one is to protect themselves by building defensive weapons and trading among themselves and reducing the power of the USD by setting up alternative currencies and their own version of Swift.
Taking us on in a military confrontation would end in humanity's extinction. They know that too. And they know that our leaders DON'T know that because they are like children obsessed with their video games.

Can anyone offer suggestions on just what these activists do for a living?
Many of them get paid by Roy Neville Singham and George Soros via the Tides Foundation. Look up Nate Friedman’s videos
Nothing. They’re a Leftist/Marxist/Islamist coalition. Their sole purpose is to brainwash, cause chaos, sew division, and use violence against others they deem not conforming to their poisonous ideologies. This is their playbook and it’s not new. It never ends well.
I bet many of them are on some kind of benefit. Some maybe fraudulently
What do you do, while reading and posting on Substack during traditional work hours?
I don't know what traditional hours are, really. I had three different careers. In two, I rarely had weekends off and had to respond to certain events whenever they occurred.

You’re anti semitic, there’s no help for you.
I’m America first and believe in human equality. You support a Jewish supremacist state bombing children.
If that makes me anti-Semitic, I’m quite fine with that.

OK, Zionist.

Persians worldwide aren’t the ones being bombed by Jews and their goyslave American mutts.
The Persians in Iran have been cheering as well, at least until the Basij shoot them or haul them off to be tortured. Your comment is so misinformed it doesn’t merit a serious response.
You don’t care about Iranians other than to kill enough of them to capitulate to whatever your demented leaders want.
I have to assume you’re a paid meddler. Your comments are ignorant beyond belief. You should try another line of work. Drywalling?
I have to assume you’re mentally ill and treat any dissent as paid for to make it easier on your soft head.
I really love Ford's on the ground reporting - unbiased and just presenting the events as they occur - how journalism should be done! 👏
I’m not sure how much there is to learn from seeing another protest. They’re all pretty much the same. The only notable thing is that they are always left wing without a right wing analog.

Nothing will be done to prove any of these people are paid protesters but that won’t stop mentally ill maniacs from repeating it as a fact.

I think reasonable people can disagree. I like the "2 movies on 1 screen" as Scott Adams used to call it.
When everyone is arguing about stuff I feel right at home 😊🇺🇸
When everyone agrees on something I get the heebee jeebees 😱😔
Were any of the "Handmaids" there?
https://aynsrants.substack.com/p/the-handmaids-tale-sequels-are-so
Thank God for free speech. Not a big fan of these rented protesters but a price we must pay for our freedoms of assembly and redress.
Zero evidence they are paid, asserted endlessly by clowns who don’t care if it’s true or not but just like how it sounds.
How'd you like to get caught in that crowd? Picture Peter Sellers saying, "but I'm just trying to walk to the store to to buy a quart of milk!". ( my first thought was Woody Allen but he might not be politically correct?)
Fortress Americas, seems like our best option.
