Well put. I lived in Seattle for years, so the visualization is potent.

Thank you for doing this hard and painful work and “bringing this home”, really one of the most powerful ways to communicate any collapse to Americans.

Max, every day i have moments of a range of emotions...sadness, anger, outrage, plus mental/historical analysis of why such insane levels of atrocities, and a kind of Buddhist acceptance of what little i can do except prayers and asking spiritual beings to somehow do something, and i can communicate about it, as herein, so thanks for bringing the topic to the fore. Also, as godless-awful as it is, i think important, as you well know, not to lose sight of the genocidal activities especially with mining/toxicities, especially still affecting the Original Peoples of Turtle Island and so-called minorities.

Thank you, Max. I feel like I held my breath in the entire time I was reading this. I am not a Seattle-ite but have visited many times, my husband was born there, I've had many great experiences in the Emerald City, and your writing made me feel the horror afresh.

Amigo. Seattle is a cesspool of Jewish Gulag Makers, from Meta to Microsoft and then the cunts of war, Boeing and just down the turnpike, F Troop Lewis. And skinny jeans AI orgasmic perverts.

Take away the organic bike tires and individually named eggs, and ya still have penury Capitalism at it's most Evergreen.

I hate to rain on your parade, but Fortress USA is already Gaza without the demolitions. Housing and racism and urban planning hell, and forget about the Jewish financiers in Rat City, well, Max, the controls are in place.

Illusions really as AmeriKKKa sucks the brains from the unborn.

Jewish catacism in California and soon WA and OR where I live.

School books will erase Gaza and Blacks and Indians and Latinos and soon only will valorize the Ellison and Karp and Zuckerberg and Ackmam and Altman and Fink and Schwarzman and Miller and Kushner and Adelson and Brin brownshirts of the world.

Speaking of Goyim Gestapo Dictator:

The pattern of conduct is clear: Roberts has made extraordinary efforts to ensure that those with great power and wealth have the opportunity to corrupt every aspect of our politics and society, and when the long-festering corruption of his Court has become front-page news, he has refused to clean up the mess. On the surface, his response has been singularly feckless and an insult to the institution of the Court, but on a deeper level, he understands that actually cleaning up the Court would undermine his overarching political agenda to remake the law. On Roberts’s watch, the Court has become a creature more beholden to the influence of the richest few –and their political operatives – than at any time in the past century. This is not a bug; it is the design.

Al Jazeera is NOT a "trustworthy news source." It is the media outlet of the government of Qatar. It relentlessly pushes "bright green lies" like EVs, "alternative energy" and "sustainable development," and massively features the Qatar regime's promotion of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the creation of a globalized version of the 21st Century equivalent of ball and chain, namely Blockchain. And it promotes the Qatari ruling elite's Muslim Brotherhood agenda, with which it is tied to Turkiye's regime.

Not in any way denying the Israeli genocide in Gaza, and in fact the rest of Palestine, now extending to other areas of the region (e.g. southern Lebanon, southeast Syria). I spent my first 11 years back in the 1950s, as an eyewitness.

I consider them trustworthy to report facts on the genocide.
