Genocide is Psychopathy

Kim Petersen: Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau declares, “I am a Zionist.” Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction of a particular group. When it is your country, your troops, your government and its officials committing genocide, many people will stubbornly refuse to acknowledge such a fact.

Gaslighting: Trump, Epstein, and Soros

Kim Petersen: The Donald Trump administration has been continuously gaslighting the American people. The examples are myriad. Let’s begin with the tariffs. The United States has imposed them on nearly every country. Ukraine has managed to escape being issued a tariff, so far.
