The Weekly Flail — October 4, 2025

OVERVIEW

The descent into chaos continues, while a plurality of the population remains largely unaware of it. The lack of awareness is by choice.

Decades of American propaganda have people focused on the lifestyles of the rich, who are doing fine. As the planet heats and fascism spreads, the days are limited.

The Gaza disaster continues while Trump shouts and threatens, while thousands are starving. Netanyahu has played Trump like a fiddle. That is what has been learned in this second rendition of the Trump disaster. With a senile fool and assorted idiots in charge of, still, the wealthiest and most brutally armed nation, there is little hope.

We have never experienced a disaster of this kind before. The minority that ignores everything but fascist propaganda is increasingly disconnected from reality, along with the insane leadership. This cannot go on.

We will examine the reality of the planet and its current developments, and hope for the best.
