  • I'd never heard of Ed Zitron but this is the second good blog I've seen by them this week.

  • That's understandable. I wish you and Blue all the best.

  • It's also pretty obvious he cheated, though.

    He clearly had a good phone, phone plan, and secure comprehensive healthcare.

  • they could sedate him, clean the wound, and administer antibiotics for just over $2000

    OP I don't know how long it will take you to get the money but please clean the wounds as best you can yourself in the meantime.

    I remember someone in your other post said it's probably dog bite abscess. I have cleaned those before. You will need warm water, put a little betadine iodine in it and use soaked cotton wool to very gently "lick" the wound as if you are another cat.

    Wrapp the cat's body securely in a towel first.

    I would phone another vet and ask for a quote as what you have been quoted sounds insane to me especially since they didn't even tell you what the wounds are.

  • Depends on the genre.

    BRB just off to write my bestseller Financial Secrets: How To Get Rich From Being A Stepdad

  • A UN recognition of nation state is not a pre requisite for self governance.

    I'm not saying it is a prerequisite. Historically being free was not a prerequisite for being paid some kind of wage at times either, for that matter.

    Historically, many former colonial nations gained their independence before being able to hold free and fair elections. Kenya for example, or South Africa.

    Palestine is in a similar state at present.

  • We will never even know if anyone in Guantanamo is even a terrorist though.

    You just assume they are because that's what Rumsfeld and Cheney told you.

    But without due process there's no actual way of determining it.

  • Leaving aside the fact that it's not the volume that defines genocide, what you're saying doesn't seem to take into account the way that genocide ramped up from a lower initial death rate. The Nazis weren't killing anything like that in the first 6 months.

    • Aid agencies like UNICEF are saying that at the moment a child is wounded or killed every ten minutes in Gaza.
    • In 0.5 years the Gaza genocide has already killed about 1.5% of the population. By comparison the Bosnian genocide killed 3% of the population over 2 years.
  • That's putting the cart before the horse. You can't say "you have to have conducted a general election before you become a nation state."

    That would be like telling a slave they can't become a free person unless they've already got a job that pays them direct wages.

  • Have you seen this report.

    If it's true then Israel attacking Iran has had the exact effect on the US that we predicted - softened their response to the genocide.

  • UNRWA also said that its staff had been detained while carrying out their duties in Gaza, being held in the same conditions as the other detainees.

    They were interrogated about their work and threatened to make false confessions about the UN agency, including that it had links with Hamas.

    Among the forms of torture the UNRWA staff were subjected to were severe beatings, being forced to strip naked, threats of rape and electrocution, threats of violence and murder at gunpoint, attacks by dogs, and threats against the lives of their families.

  • I don't think you have to "listen to Iran" to know Israel attacked their embassy compound.

  • Yes if I were documenting this I would want hours of witness testimony, forensics, etc.

  • I mean, to the standards required for a court of law (e.g. forensic proof that these were patients) but I take your point.

  • I hope this is being documented somehow.

    Even if it takes 40 years for the perpetrators of these war crimes to be brought to justice, as in some other cases, it still should happen.

  • It's not a weird conspiracy though. It's just that dragging the US into protecting Israel from Iran has the effect of halting US criticism of the Gaza genocide.

  • Totally with you on the important part, which is everyone needs to de-google now.

  • I didn't downvote you personally (I only downvote spam), I was just pointing out the flaw in your logic, in passing.

  • Fantastic article.
