10:40 am
with genocide and almost no one complaining about it, but as veter myself will put my life on the line in vietnam, i can understand very well why this person would suddenly be so upset when he discovered that everything he thought was correct about america is a big lie, i would not recommend anyone. join the american military right now. okay, so you you you have uh basically two reasons here, possibly uh, aside from the obvious reason that he stated as to why he did the act uh of uh the self-himilation, another reason is the big lie that was described, but i'm wondering how many people in the states actually uh have the same feelings that he does, how wide spread that is? unfortunately not enough, we're going to find out very soon, we have the uh 5th primary elections in california and many other places, my suspicion is that

10:42 am
control the the money spent for elections and everything else, and only few people understand it, unfortunately, this one understood, decided to kill himself uh in response to it, whereas it said the people should be punishing themselves, are they the ones that voted for genocide joe, they shouldn't vote at all, they shouldn't vote for any? democrat at all in this election, and likewise, no republican should vote for any republican candidate that supports israel. okay, i don't think much hopefully happens at least in michigan, but i don't expect to see it in a lot of places. are you going to vote? i already did vote, i voted by mail. okay, thank you very much for that. paultonfoot, professor, emeritus, california said university. thank you. well, moving on, thousands of prop'. demonstrators have taken to the streets of the spanish city of barcelona to demand immediate cease fire in the gaza strip and to call on the government
