Well kids, here we are in 2026, we the Main Street working folks, we my fellow Flea Marketeers, We the American tax paying People looking forward to celebrating the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence this July 4th, the document that formally notified the Great Bully Britain of our desire to go our separate way as a brand spanking new nation, free from the English meddling in our affairs, free from their authoritarian over reach, while the colonies had just begun fighting the Revolutionary War; a war to free the colonies, once and for all, from any and ALL foreign control – The United States of… “America First”?!! 

Nice while it lasted.

Ironically, even after two hundred and fifty years, it seems not much has changed. The United States is still subservient to a foreign country! And having effectively thrown any hopes of “America First” out the window, our president Trump is fully responsible for his part in enabling it! After all these years, I didn’t think it was possible, but it seems Yahu’s stench man, delusional Donald, is actually making Boy George Bush look like a slightly less delusional genius! Who’d a thunk?! The timing of the current AIPAC/Israel/Middle East unravelling appears to be cosmically perfect as it adds to the in our face irony, and betrayal, we now find ourselves in.

Once again, America continues it’s struggle to free itself from this latest attempt at foreign control of our country and easy access to our tax payer treasury, enabled by our very own elected officials who gladly take the campaign contributions passed through/on by foreign lobbyists and wealthy foreign and domestic elites. In this case, control by the slow creep of a toxic ideology, Master Race Zionism, and the country and leader behind it, Israel and Netanyahu (henceforth, “Yahu”), that insists, “if you ain’t for us, if you don’t support us, you’re an anti-semite, jew hating, piece of dog dung, against us!”, all while the zionists continue their simultaneous Gaza atrocities and “look the other way”, memory hole cover-up. 

Some zionist proponents even go so far as insisting that any non supporting “goyim” (the zillions of non-jews, Christians, Moslems, Pagans, Deists, loooow lifes) should be imprisoned for eternity unless they show fealty to Israel and fealty to it’s zionist, bully ideology by, at minimum, blindly supporting it’s middle east ambitions, “no questions asked!!”; at maximum, by making the pilgrimage to the sacred Western Wall and, ideally, puckering thy lips to place upon it a supportive wet kiss of solidarity with Israel! Really? Kissing the Western Wall, which before 1967 was humbly revered as a surviving symbol and pilgrimage site of ancient temple holiness, only to be co-opted by the secular state as a symbol of “modern Israeli identity”? (Google A.I.) What a brilliant public relations transformation! 

To put it bluntly, its appears to me that what was once looked upon as a sacred site conducive to deep spiritual contemplation has been intentionally shape shifted into a subtle way to activate a subconscious act of fealty (via respectfully touching/kissing the wall) to a ravenous entity that is hell bent obsessed on using America to fund and weaponize it’s Middle East take over ambitions, while successfully convincing many of us, ranging from Trump’s gullible MAGA’s to just as gullible social dem progressives, to put Israel’s interests ahead of America’s! Huh?!

“Ladies and gentlemen! Heads of state! All you big name and aspiring to be celebrities! All you social media influencers… Ben Shapiro! Commandante Rubio! R.I.P. Charley Kirk! Mike Huckabee! Donald Drump! Etc, Etc, Etc!! Step Right Up!! Support our cause! Show that you put the interests of Israel before your “America First”, delusional fantasy by placing your hands, or your lips, on our Western Wall as a sign of fealty… (er, uh, oops)… SOLIDARITY with our cause!”, implies Prime Minister Yahu from his public podium before silently slithering away to his underground bunker, whispering under his breath, “Suckers. Israel First! American citizens can fuckin kiss my ass!”

Yes, yes. It seems in these times of psychological operation subtleties, fealty is often disguised as solidarity, whether it be taking a knee, kissing the feet, kissing a wall…  “kissing” as a way of demonstrating loyalty, allegiance, and now, fealty! Hmmm. All this kiss kiss kissing is giving me a long overdue, USS Liberty idea!! 

The U.S.S Liberty? Oh, you’re not familiar with… nor familiar with Thomas Paine’s experiences on some of the battlefields during the Revolutionary War?

The Ghost of Thomas Paine chats w USS Liberty radar tower personnel just before “friendly” Israeli planes swoop in for the premeditated machine gun murder, c. the 1967, Six Day War. 

“What the hell!!”, screams Thomas Paine, as the three radar tower sailors he was just ghost joking with are suddenly shot dead by “friendly” fire, Israeli jets. “This is NOT the behavior of a friend!! This is the behavior of a mortal enemy, a fiend who can’t be trusted; who says one thing, then does another!”, as the sound of constant machine gun fire strafing the Liberty deck deafens the air. “With friends like this, who the hell needs enemies?!!”, Paine silently says to himself before joining his new friends on the other side.

Alas. It seems that our “friend” Israel (Q, President LBJ) had unwittingly broadcast its passive aggressive, hostile feelings towards its financial benefactor, the USA, at least since the 1967 Six Day War, when it’s “how ya doing?”, Israeli pilot fly overs were intentionally (?) mistaken for friendly cover by the Liberty crew while it was doing relaxed recon maneuvers in the Mediterranean. 

And what would our most prominent founding father, Thomas Paine, do in our current Yahu hostage situation where Yahu’s war is being waged strictly over a “my way or the highway”, zionist, power mad ideology forced on America by a foreign bully, just as Paine experienced when imperial England and it’s state sanctioned, corporate plunderer in chief, the East India Company, was hell bent on subjugating the North American colonies? Would it involve a demand for a reciprocal “fealty” kiss, as a demonstration of temporary good will amongst power mad plunderers? And lacking such, a “Kiss My Ass! Fk off!”, boot to the butt! Would Trump eventually consider such an action against his “friend”, the Yahu?

But first, by way of proper intro… 

Thomas Paine was in a life transition when he came from Britain to the American colonies in 1775. It took him a few months to fully recover from the ocean voyage. He found the DIY spirit of the colonists robust, vibrant and much much much to his liking, to the point of his whole heartedly supporting the colonist’s independence movement, sometimes joining the colonial troops in skirmishes with the Red Coats, and contributing his newfound power of the pen to it by way of writing his seminal, often cited to this very day, patriotic pamphlet, “Common Sense”; the printed pamphlet that kept the winds of freedom in the sails of Washington and the Revolutionary War, colonial fighters. 

The talk of colonial independence from England was then thick as a dense fog on an East India Company, Boston Tea Party mooring. The British king’s over reaching policies and excessive taxes were pushing the colonist’s to the breaking point, much like Israel/AIPIC/Yahu’s year’s long belligerent bullying of America into unquestioning compliance and submission is today, resulting in our current war with Iran. Self reliance and questioning the Crown’s authority was everywhere, which was a bit of a threat to the British authorities stationed in the colonies, over seeing the behavior of the increasingly uppity, independence aspiring colonists. The outright arrogance and bullying by King George is no different from the outright arrogance, bullying and intense braying coming from the jewish and non-jewish, “Christian” zionists who are desperately trying to regain their stranglehold on controlling America today. (Heh heh heh. It seems elitist money only goes so far. The influence of their money on the mid-terms will be interesting) Again, 250 years later, how interesting that what was happening then has soooo much in common with the “America First”, freedom from foreign exploitation movement, happening now. 

For the record, America First is way beyond a Nick Fuentes and Donald Drump/MAGA inspired thing. In the bigger, current picture, America First is solidly a long overdue reset, a rare moment to Make Main Street America Great Again. Historically, the term has been around for several decades, way before Trump and Fuentes came along, as our colonial Revolutionary War clearly demonstrates. Yes, Fuentes has some controversial “opinions” concerning the role of a wife, women and select minorites that I don’t agree with, but I certainly stand by his insistance that America will only succeed when we finally make our national interests our immediate priorities. Will we seize the moment and throw the invasive foreign parasites overboard, whether they be communist, zionist, of facsist in ideology; or will we let it pass, caught up in the swirl of 24/7, social engineered distractions? 

The East India Company was also an key enabler in England’s lust for empire, (bearing a strong resemblance to the zionists lust for all things Middle East) despite its near miss with bankruptcy due to its 24/7 unrelenting plunder in southern India, when an unexpected catastrophic famine wiped out the Indian population that was it’s only source of Crown sanctioned, exploitation opportunities. Oops. “Your Majesty, this might be an excellent time to plunder elsewhere!” The America’s seemed ripe for the picking. Unfortunately, those darn colonists with their hard wired self reliance, temerity and critical thinking turned out to be rather contagious of mindset, and dangerous to the powers that shouldn’t be, especially when one has been thoroughly immersed in it, as Thomas Paine was. There is much to be said for the history of “pub politics”. 

Arguably, had it not been for the freedom aspiring momentum his pamphlet “Common Sense” set in motion, America might not be celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration Of Independence this July 4th. Personal opinion, “Common Sense”, is always worth revisiting! Especially NOW that Mr. NutAndYahu has exposed himself to be much more of a tyrant, and much more of a mortal threat to America’s sovereignty than the Commie Chinese or the Commie Russians, ever were! And the superiority complex that goes along with his sense of Jewish identity, really makes his “chosen” people look bad. Perhaps this would be a good place to add some “God Letter” commentary on the Jewish Fraternity from the wise Jewish humanitarian and mathematician, Mr. MC Squared himself, Albert Einstein…

“For me the unadulterated Jewish religion is, like all other religions, an incarnation of primitive superstition. And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong, and in whose mentality I feel profoundly anchored, still for me does not have any different kind of dignity from all other peoples. As far as my experience goes, they are in fact no better than other human groups, even if they are protected from the worst excesses by a lack of power. Otherwise I cannot perceive anything “chosen” about them.”

Holy Heresy! “Nothing chosen about them”??!! I suspect that prima dona Prime Minister Yahu, who often comes off as someone who lives and breathes “superiority complex”, would have some issues with Einstein’s realistic “God Letter” commentary to his close friend, written in 1954. 

As for those who automatically cringe at the “America First” movement, thinking it to be some ultra right wing, racist, hillbilly barn storm, consider this. Our colonial freedom aspirations then and the zionists attempting to control the global narrative now and using America, and cheerleader Donald Trump to do it. “Holier than thou” zionists who insist their shit don’t stink while taking every opportunity to rub their shit in the faces of anyone who challenges them appears to have finally reached it’s limits, at least amongst many/most of my fellow Americans. Just because we Americans naturally find it in our countries best interests to put ourselves first, just as the citizens of any other self respecting country would do, including Israel, does not make us Americans un-caring, does not make us selfish, does not make us the assholes the puppet monster foreign and domestic, zionist controlled, mainstream media makes America First out to be! Oh yeah, guilt tripping has a nasty way of back-firing, as was most recently demonstrated by the globalists responsible for attempting to demonize the jab resistant during the Covid Coup! 

By the way, it’s been my observation that if a household, or a country, does not get it’s own house in order, how in the hell is it going to set an example to others to inspire them to do likewise? Civility and respect is often inspiring. Bullying only invites resistance and eventual payback. Just ask Iran. Would it’s final demand (anticipated) of Israel’s unconditional surrender before agreeing to any peace negotiations, be payback enough?

USS Liberty reparations from Israel?!! How about, instead of “negotiating with BOMBS!”, we start with negotiating an Arlington kiss for a Western Wall kiss? (Mr. Yahu, that’s your cue… )

The United States is currently in the disorderly mess it’s in simply because we have been convinced, we have been cleverly conned for at least sixty friggin years into putting several foreign entities interests, especially Israel’s, before our own. And being betrayed from within by our very own president who campaign promised to his MAGA base to put “America First”, only to show his allegiance to Israel and the mad man Yahu, (Today’s Special!! Two tyrants for the price of one!!) certainly doesn’t help. Foreign lobbyists, particularly “Israel First!” AIPAC lobbyists, now have more control over crafting our government’s legislation than all our elected officials and Wall Street CEO’s combined! Give that some thought. Now that the cat is out of the bag and we find ourselves fighting a war for Zionism Inc. over it, a war that the majority of Americans now strongly oppose, and a war where Iran has exposed our American military as being much more vulnerable than invincible (contrary to Hegseth bluster), it might be the perfect time to put the current United States slave master Yahu, on notice and suspend all of America’s support for Israel and it’s Middle East ambitions until a certain, simple act of atonement is ceremoniously done.

(make-up… could you apply a little more gloss on Mr. Yahu’s lips, please… )

There is much controversy over Israel’s attack of the USS Liberty. Whether the attack on the Liberty was a premeditated event or a series of miscommunication mistakes, what’s not controversial is that 34 American intell and military personnel were killed and “roughly another 170 were wounded”, according to Encyclopedia Britannica and numerous other sources. What is just as alarming about the attack, is just as alarming as what happened immediately after the attack. The event was INSTANTLY and intentionally “memory holed” by the then Commander in Chief, President LBJ, who I suspect was most likely under “control file”/blackmail threats from knowledgeable Texan, Israeli and U.S. intell puppet masters, intimately familiar with the incriminating contents of his “control file”. Just another day in blackmail land.

Despite Israel’s insisting it was an unfortunate mistake, and “compensating the families of the deceased” (unconfirmed), according to the Liberty survivors, threatening orders from above were given to each and every one of them that there was to be absolutely NO MENTION of the Israeli attack to anyone, under ANY circumstances, especially the press. “It Never Happened! Memory Hole! Got it, sailor?!” And any Liberty survivors who did not keep their mouths shut and comply would be courtmartialed at minimum, with credible threats to be permanently silenced for disobedience, at maximum. Why? Who leaned on LBJ to give those orders? Why did they give them? Damn good questions.

It wasn’t until several years after the attack that the Liberty story began to be reported. As of now, several books and articles have been written about the event. Unfortunately, it seems that, as of yet, Israel has not made any meaningful apology, no meaningful very public, media atonement at a Western Wall equivalent to America and to the Liberty survivors and families of the deceased. Yes, it’s reported (Google A.I.) that their Foreign Minister Abba Eban and the Israeli Ambassador at the time, Avraham Harman, sent letters “of apology and condolences to Secretary of State Dean Rusk”, but absolutely NO mentions of a formal apology to the United States from ANY Israeli Prime Minister to this day, almost sixty years after the attack! What The Fuck?!

Well, perhaps better late than never. 

It seems to me, and perhaps to many of you readers by now, that our upcoming 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence this July 4th would be an excellent and highly symbolic opportunity for Mr. Yahu to demonstrate his gratitude, and his fealty, to the American military, to all the U.S. politicians and corporate execs he and Israel have “contributed” to, and to We the American taxpayers who are ultimately paying for all this bull shit, especially now that America has finally gone all in with it’s military might for Israel/Netanyahu’s rabid desire to wage war and wipe Iran from the face of the earth (and perhaps his last chance to exploit America’s generosity) while American citizens suffer the consequences of our hard earned tax dollars being spent on foreign interests instead of our own. Grrrrr! Yahu could instantly, and media broadcast ceremoniously, make up for his country’s oversight by coming to Arlington Cemetery to pay his respects on behalf of Israel for the Liberty attack and the deaths of the military personnel involved, while We The American People concurrently use this July 4th freedom celebration to declare our independence from NutAndYahu and the zionist elites who run Israel, and who also run much of the world. Woo-Hoo!! Independence from Israel’s stranglehold on the USA, the first and most important step in making America great again, to putting America First?! Ya think?!

What’dya say Mr. Yahu? What’dya say Donald Drump? Great idea, huh?!! Maybe Donnie could be Yahu’s personal escort around Arlington!!

Just as visiting dignitaries, celebrities, heads of state and those inclined are encouraged to make the pilgrimage and gesture of respect to Israel by visiting and touching/kissing the Western Wall, Mr. Yahu (and present and future Israeli dignitaries!!) could come to Arlington where he would be directed by Liberty survivors to the individual grave sites of the sailors who were murdered by the Israeli jets and torpedo’s in the middle of the 1967, Six Day War. As he’s guided from tombstone to tombstone, he would slowly read the name, the year of birth and the date of death on each tombstone of the deceased, then give each and every sailor a sincere apology, then a kiss on the top of the tombstone on behalf of himself and on behalf of Israel, repeating this long in coming, somber gesture of atonement to every USS Liberty casualty buried at Arlington. Respect where respect is due. Fair enough?

And they all kinda sorta learned to live happily ever after?

In the event that Mr. Yahu would choose to decline this atonement opportunity, the United States of America First will withhold any and all support to Israel until he does. Period. (Pending my election to POTUS in 2028) No more support, no more money, no more weapons (unless they’re obsolete! shhhhh!) until Israel and the Yahu comply. America should be DEMANDING fealty from Israel and from all it’s ungrateful zionist supporters all over the world, for all the military, moral and financial support we have given and wasted on it for decades, NOT the other way around. Fealty sometimes needs to be redirected. I suspect Thomas Paine would strongly agree.

Our 250th Independence Anniversary is perhaps our last opportunity to save what is left of our national dignity, a hard earned dignity that Team Drump appears to be doing their best to destroy by way of 24/7 gaslighting reality. It’s refreshing to see that even some of the mainstream media are finally calling them out on this. We cannot let this moment go by without restoring our focus on the multiplicity of things that once made America great. We desperately need to put America’s interests first, starting with infrastructure, health care, and education built on a base of self-reliant manufacturing and soil bulding agriculture. Personal opinion. I also think Trump genuinely wants to have very successful 250th 4th of July, Independence Day celebration, without international/war distractions disrupting what may possibly be his last gloat opportunity before the midterm elections. The question is, does Iran have a plan to fk up the 250th Anniversary festivities? Or gone rogue, Yahu/israel?!! Stay tuned! 

My Q2/Q3 Flea Market forecast is still waiting for more fog of war to clear. Disposable income, consumer flea market sentiment here in So Cal is still surprisingly robust, despite the drama… for now. Events during April, likely to set the tone for the rest of the year… the next several years?!

God Bless and Happy Birthday America! May we be successful in finishing the work that Thomas Paine, our founding fathers and the hundreds, perhaps thousands of unsung colonial heroes have started! We will only be done with foreign oppressor opportunities when We, the Middle/Working Class, Main Street American People, prioritize America First! We can do this! We must do this!!

See ya, Yahu! Don’t let the door bang you in the butt!
