I have tried and tried to write my thoughts about these truly horrific people and events, and I don't know how.

I am a scientific person, trained as an R.N., and I am supposed to have compassion for the sick ... not just physically, but psychologically, mentally sick. I find I do not know the line b/w sick and evil. Having read much on the backgrounds of sick-mind people, ... so many of them were produced by sick-mind people. Who do we blame? How do we cure? To purposely shoot a young man in his testicles, is life-ending for him. How evil is that, and what do we do with the perpetrator?

I do not like living in a sick, EVIL, world, with so many not caring about their neighbors, selfish, money-hungry. I was raised as a Methodist, trying to help people in THIS world, ... and god would take care of the next. I "assumed" most people were raised to be & do good, also. This state of affairs in this country, and it appears, all over the world >>> people don't seem to have a core of ethics & morality, and are just IN IT for themselves. I feel confused and unhappy. It doesn't mean I'll stop fighting, but .............

Thank you Qasim, for explaining, educating us -- it takes a toll, and I appreciate you as a mentor.

It is unconscionable that these things aren’t be reported on! All of the events you have brought to light have really opened my eyes. We can see now how many racists and bigots walk among us. How can anyone just brush this aside?

I can't say categorically say Biden wouldn't do the same. Or Kamala. But if they did, the reason would be to avoid a diplomatic situation. TacoDon allows it because he doesn't care about anyone but himself. And we know Israel challenge that diplomatic bond every single day, they don't think twice about it. It's a very loopsided relationship.

Maybe not the same, but at the same time, when Israel killed US Citizens and US legal residents under Biden's watch, he literally did nothing to hold them accountable. It is the bipartisan lack of accountability here that makes all this that much more torturous.

I have a theory about why they did nothing. But the only person that knows will take that reason to the grave. My theory is that they believed Israel would then make every Palestinian-American a target. But I can't say that they aren't already. And the result is the same. It's like they say, "the road to hell is paved by good intentions" So regardless of intent, if Biden was actually onboard with killing Palestinians or not. He still holds the responsibility.

I would like to see a task force to investigate and document the monumental Republican conspiracy to undermine the Constitution and destroy Democracy. We are all witnessing this in real time and there is plenty of evidence that there is such a conspiracy. If we can establish this fact in the minds of Americans we may have a chance to topple this illegal, cruel, and destructive regime of oligarchs and mobsters.

They must all be revealed and removed. Just Trump will not suffice.

Evil has no boundaries. Two men, Netanyahu and Trump, responsible for so many despicable actions. And they have partners in crime.

Much as I hate to say it, the atrocities of war never change much from one generation to the next. The only time they disappear from history is when extreme censorship prevails and buries the grim tidings. War inevitably seems to unleash the worst of humanity, apparently almost all of us are capable of heinous acts in extremity. And those most capable of heinous acts are the same people who light the fires.

But this is not even the atrocity of war -- this is a detailed sting operation that documented his abusive behavior and captured him, only for him to be arbitrarily released. Just absurd.

Words almost fail me. First the Free Press is almost illegally named, Second, the free press 's reportage is inane, inaccurate, and just plain stupid. Does no one on the FP not know that disease and starvation can co-exist - and make each other more lethal? Evidently FP employs no editors, or fact checkers - about what you'd expect

The pressure for release of Epstein information must be maintained, just as the pressure against what Israel is doing to the Palestinians must be maintained.

The former is more difficult because the rich and powerful are united in protecting themselves. Israel was involved with Epstein. Les Wexner of Victoria's Secret and The Drive fame is a Zionist that financed Epstein and Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine's father was also a Zionist. There is so much to be revealed that is dangerous to power going back into the Reagan years and involving the Clintons and, not least, Trump. We the people have been had by Israel who has the US on a leash that could be instantly broken if the truth were revealed.

This must stop!

I thank you for having the courage to write about this.

What are we as human beings if we cannot protect children from rape, execution and starvation!

This must stop and we all must stop it!

Qasim, I try to imagine what it must be like to know as much as you do about the horrific side of human nature. We are all learning here. Thank you for using your knowledge and energy to teach us. It hurts to know these things, but until we stop denying them and learn to accept that they are true, we will be stuck in a place of surprise and disbelief, which is not a place that generates action.

We trust you to tell us things that would otherwise remain hidden, to keep us safe from both not knowing and from being misled.

As always, I appreciate your diligence in covering difficult topics that we all need to know about. However, I am concerned that the words "Free Press" are being used by these perpetrators to cover up what they are doing by making people think their acts are above board. I would hate to think that the legitimate group called "Free Press" that really does fight for press freedom: (freepress.net) could be affected by the bad press for "free press."

Unfortunately, the propaganda outlet I'm talking about is literally called "The Free Press."

That's unfortunate. Only hope is that those looking for their Free Press might inadvertently be led to the accurate one and learn a thing or two. Wishful thinking on my part, I'm sure.

I hear the news daily and wonder if there's anyone left in the World with a heart. Short trip for AI to replace us, no challenge at all there. It's getting worse and worse--I think this can't be real, got to be a bad dream, April Fool! And it keeps growing! like a snowball downhill.

Thank you for your articles, Qasim. Bless you.

Thank you Qasim once again for bringing up the facts of what's happening under the Netanyahu and trump regimes. These two guys are forever co-joined in their need to protect child predators. What a world we live in when abused children are seen as THE ENEMY and war criminals are talked about with phrases like this one recently "I didn't want to disrespect Putin by making the phone call during the meeting!" That was his way of saying fuck you guys, Putin is the only boss I'll listen to! Sickening absolutely sickening, how trump doesn't allow children in need of medical treatment because his other boss is Laura Loomer who doesn't like anybody that's brown. Just because of that one fact. A match made in hell.
