I’m a Jew & I’m NOT a Genocidal Racist — Why Do Israel “Supporters” Keep Telling the World that I Am?

Michael Lesher

Remember the serial murderer who called himself “Son of Sam,” and whose unpredictable homicides terrorized New York City for twelve months some 46 years ago?

If you do, you’ll probably remember the public mortification that convulsed the Jewish world when the killer was apprehended in August 1977 – because his name turned out to be David Berkowitz.

“It was a dark week in New York City” for Jews, wrote Josh Nathan-Kazis about Berkowitz’s arrest in a 2019 retrospective. In fact, so eager were Jews to dissociate themselves from a homicidal maniac that when evidence surfaced that Berkowitz had been adopted as a child, Forward ran that discovery on its front page, exulting that the killer wasn’t really Jewish after all. (Unfortunately for Forward, it turned out that both of Berkowitz’s birth parents actually were Jews.)

I’m not a fan of this sort of bad-for-the-Jews kvetching. But at least it’s predictable. Who needs a murderer for a landsman?

That’s why I’m so flabbergasted about the Jewish celebrities who have taken to the hustings over the last few weeks not only to embrace Israel’s mass murder of the civilians of Gaza – a slaughter that makes Berkowitz’s eight homicides look like a practical joke – but have even insisted that all Jews feel the same way.

What do they think they’re doing? It’s bad enough that these Jews want to display their moral turpitude to the world. But do they really have to slander the rest of us into the bargain?

Actress-turned-Israeli-propagandist Mayim Bialik is typical of the bunch. Lecturing a social media audience on October 27, Ms. Bialik purported to explain to the world “what your Jewish friends are experiencing” whenever they see demonstrators calling for an end to Israel’s mass murder in Gaza, or for the liberation of over two million people from what the Israeli sociologist Baruch Kimmerling called “the world’s largest concentration camp ever.”

And what did they experience?

Shame that such crimes were being committed in the name of a “Jewish” state? Relief that so many of the protesters (as, for instance, at Grand Central Station in New York City) were themselves Jewish?

No, according to Ms. Bialik, Jews weren’t fazed by the bloodbath in which Israel was drowning Gaza – a slaughter that had obliterated more than 6,000 lives, nearly half of them children, by the time she took to social media – but they were really, really upset about people who objected to the massacre.

Criticism of Israeli brutality, Bialik insisted, was “a strain of anti-Semitism that is alive and well.”

Unsurprisingly, given that the “facts” she reported came straight from Israeli propaganda, much of Bialik’s rant was sheer nonsense. (No one at UCLA, for instance, chanted “We want a Jewish genocide.”) But for the moment I’m more interested in the logical inferences to be drawn from her comments about “the Jews.” If objecting to Israel’s crimes against humanity offends “the Jewish people,” it follows that “the Jewish people” endorse those crimes.

And that can only mean one thing: that if Bialik is right, Jews are criminals. All of them. Just because they are Jews. Honestly, can there be a more anti-Semitic claim than that?

And just in case anyone missed her point, Bialik ended her homily by boasting that the State of Israel (her “homeland,” the San Diego-born Bialik called it) is now a cozier fit for Jewish consciences than a country where people are allowed to protest against genocide.
Wow. With friends like Bialik, why would Jews need any enemies?

Not to be outdone – and as the civilian death toll in Gaza passed the 10,000 mark – Batya Ungar-Sargon, deputy opinion editor at Newsweekappeared on Fox News to lament that she was struggling in a “sea of anti-Semitic media and bigotry” and that all American progressives want to “kill the Jews.” (Like Bialik, Ungar-Sargon has had a remarkably successful career in a professional environment in which she claims that everyone hates her – but who’s counting?)

Egged on by her interviewer, Ungar-Sargon wasted no time seconding Alan Dershowitz’s asseveration that “liberal Jews” will never vote for anyone who doesn’t embrace Israel’s mass murder in Gaza.

So Batya Ungar-Sargon, like Mayim Bialik, has effectively accused all Jews – even “liberal Jews” – of supporting an openly-declared Israeli genocide policy. Another whiner about factitious “anti-Semitism,” Ungar-Sargon is actually spouting the real thing.

Even more unhinged in her bigotry was Allison Josephs, who runs an Orthodox Jewish website called “Jew in the City.” Ms. Josephs was invited to speak about anti-Semitism as part of a Los Angeles-based panel for Variety. But the tantrum she threw there may have surprised even Hollywood professionals, who probably aren’t used to being scolded for not reflecting enough Jewish influence.

And that was just the beginning.

“You have students on college campuses marching with Hamas,” a breathless Ms. Josephs hectored them. “They’re on the side of baby-beheadings, and burning Holocaust survivors [sic], and gang-raping women.” (Weirdly, Josephs blamed this on the movies – because, don’t you know, too many Jewish characters are “super-white” and affluent.)

Adopting the Nazi position that Jews are a race – “it’s in our DNA” – Josephs went on to claim that Jews cannot be “colonizers” of Palestine because they are “the indigenous people to the Middle East.”

What are normal people to imagine when a fuming wingnut who thinks antiwar protesters want to cut the heads off babies, and defends ethnic cleansing as a consequence of “Jewish DNA,” presents herself as an exemplar of “the Jewish people”? I can tell you this much: if her audience takes Ms. Joseph’s grotesque manqué of Judaism for the real thing, so much the worse for the rest of us.

All three of the women I have quoted describe themselves as religious Jews. And each of them, at some time in the past, has fidgeted about the public image of her coreligionists (who are also mine).

Yet all three have been guilty of venomously anti-Semitic remarks – and I doubt that they’re even aware of it. Such is the power of propaganda, and the need of a guilty conscience to scapegoat others when the alternative is an uncomfortable look in the mirror.
But please: let’s call things by their right names.

Propagandists like Bialik, Ungar-Sargon and Josephs are not only flacks for apartheid and genocidal violence. They are a disgrace to the things they claim to value most. By equating Judaism with crime, they are guilty of the very bigotry they claim to be opposing.

We’ve heard for decades that “anti-zionism is the same thing as anti-semitism.” As this article points out, it is quite remarkable how few self-identified “Jews” bother to contradict this claim. We may logically infer that the very large majority actually believe that the genocidal fascism and racism of their zionist “homeland” are natural expressions of Jewish identity.

When people show you what they are, you should believe them.

That is a deeply oversimplified “logic.” People are people, and Jews like all other groups present a continuum of many types.

You really present a false equivalency, giving way too little weight to a shared sense of being targets in the crosshairs of way too many anti-s.

As an outcome, there is a shared vulnerable sense amongst many Jews, and no doubt there are many hawk Zionists, who may or may not be Jews, who exploit that vulnerability in a whole variety of ways, for all kinds of agendas.

Sounds a lot like USAmerica too. Just for starters!

The President of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Josef Schuster, does not see Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as a legitimate political partner for Germany. Speaking to Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland (Wednesday editions), Schuster cited Erdogan’s support for the terrorist organization Hamas after the attack on Israel as a reason: “Anyone who not only denies Israel’s right to exist, but actively fights against it, cannot be a partner for German politics.”

It is about Erdogan’s upcoming state visit, who, as we all know, represents a not insignificant proportion of civic occupants of a foreign-controlled construct that illegitimately calls itself “Germany”. One thing is completely out of question: what “policy” the so-called government of so-called Germany pursues (or refrains from pursuing) is not determined by its so-called “elected representatives”, but solely and exclusively by the Central Council of Jews (in personification of Schuster).

P.S. Of course, this is all just highly mendacious and hypocritical, because who in the world needs such false “friends”? (Only Israel! Because only Israel doesn’t care whether its “friends” are total liars and hypocrites, as long as it is able to assert its power, dominance, rights and interests at the expense of all these embarrassing honorless wimps and failures.)

The unresisting submission of the (anti-)German functional elite to Israel’s dictates is, psychologically speaking, a kind of passive-aggressive defiant reaction familiar from a (seemingly) powerless victim against a (seemingly) all-powerful perpetrator: “You can rape me and take what you want, but you’ll never get real love and honest commitment from me!” There has been a kind of tacit agreement to only ever say yes, without ever even considering a no, because anything else would be considered “anti-Semitic” anyway.

“Never again” means:No more genocide, slow motion or massacre-style. Ever. No more involuntary medical experiments. No more persecution of a group of people, be it through economic austerity, sanctions, inferior public education, exorbitant college tuition, out-of-reach housing prices, chemically-tainted and genetically-altered food, medical industry hijacking for patent profits, global governance bodies like the WHO that seek to override national and individual sovereignty, no more travel restrictions and check points, no more war on people. Either you stand for “never again” or you are for genocide.

There’s a great deal of psyop about this Israel-Hamas false flag, but I don’t see how the following could have been an intended outcome. The Gateway Pundit went full-on Zionist following the “attacks” and has been publishing articles like that below. However, judging from the comments section, they appear to have tapped into overwhelmingly contrarian viewpoints in their readership.

Another Billionaire Donor is Abandoning Far Left Columbia University Over Anti-Semitism on Campus
Nov. 10, 2023

In October, billionaire Leon Cooperman announced live on FOX Business that he would no longer donate money to Columbia University over the pro-Hamas demonstrations that were taking place there. He said that the students have s**t for brains. Now another billionaire named Henry Swieca is pulling his support from the school for the same reasons. This is a very loud wake up call for higher education in America. This is how things get changed. When these far left indoctrination factories see their funding dry up, they might finally get the message that people are tired of this.

Some top upvoted comments

Where were the millionaires when they mandated young college kids to get the jab?
Owning stock in Pfizer?
A leftist abandoning something that he helped create but now because it’s a threat to him, he’s out. He’ll just go someplace else, do the same thing all over again, and watch the same results.

But these billionaires had no problem with whites getting kept out of college and discriminated against. They only got concerned when it was their own religion that got targeted.
The billionaires withdrawing their “largesse” NOW are too late. They’re now in horror that our universities have churned out students not just favoring Communism but actually capable of riots, violence & terrorism aimed at THEM, not just conservatives.

The Ivy League has been teaching America destroying crap to its students for years. Yet creeps like this jerk never blinked.

These liberal J*ws are so stupid, they have been funding all sort of vile racism and yet they didn’t believe that they would someday be on the menu.
Not stupid, malicious.

Etc

With ever-greater numbers of closet anti-Semites crawling out of the proverbial woodwork to wave the obligatory Anti-Zionist flag,…

… it’s worth pausing to consider what ‘zionism’ actually is. Or rather what it should be. The 1948 setting up of a State? Land grabs? Wrong. It’s origins go much deeper.

Zion. Historically, the fortress captured by King David, which grows into ‘Jerusalem’. The Ark of the Covenant (containing the 10 Commandments) being placed on its holy hill.

But Jerusalem makes an appearance far earlier, as ‘Salem’ in Genesis (Gen 14:18). A name which means ‘peace’ (Compare ‘shalom’).

This was when the mysterious character, Melchizedek, King of Salem, meets Abraham, first blessing and then being honored by the latter. Abraham, father of Ishmael (from whom came the Arabs) and the father of Isaac (from whom came Jacob, later renamed ‘Israel’). So this Melchizedek, King of Salem blesses and is honored by the father of the Arabs and Israel.

A more literal transliteration of Melchizedek would be ‘malkiy-tsedek‘. 

Malkiy‘ meaning ‘king of’ (from ‘melek‘, ‘king’) and ‘tsedek‘ meaning righteous(ness). A King of Righteousness. The hyphen (or maqqeth) being there in the Hebrew, which makes the sense even clearer.

So, a King of Peace and King of Righteousness, who (according to the verse) brings forth bread and wine and is priest of God Most High. Who might this remind you of? (cf Heb. 7)

But for Christians the concept of Zion also goes beyond the purely historical/physical to a heavenly hope. The hope for a future heavenly city (cf Rev 21).

Perhaps something to consider, the next time you see Zionism used in its populist, derogatory sense.

And a “salvific” footnote on how all of that played out, and always does before and beyond us now, is powerfully and deeply elaborated in Romans 11, an excerpt which I copied downthread a few posts, our 1st reading at RC Mass just last Saturday.

Thanks for your exegesis, standard scriptural and “historical” orthodoxy, as s concise review of all the roots, as it fills out [by necessity!] the transcendent context for all that with which we now muddle in practical hourly terms (con)currently.

Though the demented Israeli politicians and religious leaders, and the subversive diaspora (including dual citizens), are a scourge, the far bigger problem is the zombified Christians now reacting as progrmmed, who may number over half a billion. The biggest traitors are the leaders who facilitate (a) dual citizens (b) uncontrolled immigration that follows economic, subversive or military imperialism.

A lot of this ongoing ageless issue in Israel [et al.] revolves around history covered by the truly seminal writings of “The Apostle” [Paul, né Saul] and an historically very influential passage from his Letter to the Romans, chapter 11, which we heard again last Saturday as part of the regular schedule planned out ages ago for RC Mass [the bold print is mine]:

Reading 1 Rom 11:1-2a, 11-12, 25-29

Brothers and sisters:
I ask, then, has God rejected his people?
Of course not!
For I too am a child of Israel, a descendant of Abraham,
of the tribe of Benjamin.
God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew.
Do you not know what the Scripture says about Elijah,
how he pleads with God against Israel?

Hence I ask, did they stumble so as to fall?
Of course not!
But through their transgression
salvation has come to the Gentiles,

so as to make them jealous.
Now if their transgression is enrichment for the world,
and if their diminished number is enrichment for the Gentiles,
how much more their full number.

I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers and sisters,
so that you will not become wise in your own estimation:

a hardening has come upon Israel in part,
until the full number of the Gentiles comes in,
and thus all Israel will be saved, as it is written:

The deliverer will come out of Zion,
he will turn away godlessness from Jacob;
and this is my covenant with them
when I take away their sins.

In respect to the Gospel, they are enemies on your account;
but in respect to election,

they are beloved because of the patriarch.
For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable

Emphasis on irrevocable. This explains the foundation that is used by some, abused by others. So, what else is new?

They’re not criminals, but they ARE flat out racists who have killed far more of the people they hate than the KKK ever aspired to. And prior to that for the last 50 years the Israelis have been bombing hospitals and destroying schools as well as making life a living hell for the Palestinians unfortunate enough to have stayed in their ancestral homeland.

In my rich and varied travels through the wondrous realm of twitter/X, I stumbled on the story of one Naama Levy. She is apparently one of the Israel hostages who were dragged off. See here:

https://www.thejc.com/news/news/300-000-protestors-descend-on-london-for-armistice-day-march-while-british-jews-stay-home-4EcPTEsODRmHJNIkGuj1cl

Note the “predictive” nature of the reporting:

“It is hard to forget the footage of 19-year-old Naama Levy being manhandled into a jeep in Gaza, her hands tied behind her back and her grey tracksuit covered in blood on the bottom.”

“It is hard to forget…” Right away the reader’s reactions are laid out. And look at the ingredients of the tale: She “was a peace activist dedicated to promoting values of mutual understanding between Israelis, and Palestinians” and (wait for it, wait for it!) “Naama is also the great-granddaughter of Holocaust survivors from Poland and a triathlete, who also spent her time volunteering for underprivileged kids”.

…..ah …. it’s difficult to keep going here. Such is the painful contrivance of it.

But of course, the reporter still can’t trust her readership to have cottoned on. And so,

“….it was a “horrible irony” that many of those kidnapped by Hamas were engaged in peace activities between Israelis and Palestinians.” 

And – Jesus!:

“Naama’s mother Ayelet Levy Shachar fought back tears as…..”

But here’s the meat:

“You can’t go around not seeing that footage somewhere because they kept showing it in a loop.”

So have a look then ….

What do you see? About a second of some girl – who may even be the same one! – being pulled out of a car. And then the scene behind her goes all woozy and “kidnapped by Hamas” flashes up. Then we switch into some old footage of her “wanting peace” before resuming the bit where she is dragged off with the stain on her bottom prominent. And that’s it.

Never mind. There’s some more graphic info supplied here:

https://twitter.com/lordflashhe4rt/status/1723124178235134015

“You might notice she’s suffering rectal bleeding and has her Achilles tendon sliced so she can’t run.”

Well I noticed the stain anyway.

And lots of sympathy in the comments – with another bout of that “predictive” air:

“This absolutely haunts me.”

But then a curious exchange:

-“It’s soul destroying. Googling to find information on her is even worse. Complete blackout.”

-“I can’t Google her, I’m reasonably hard but her story more than anything else has repeatedly got to me. I’m glad, however, that I know her name.”

-“There’s nothing there. No information.”

Indeed. So little info. Good God, the media is blacking out the story! The media itself is antisemitic!

Or ….. (whisper it!) …. there is no story to report!

This article prompts me that I never, ever, perceived Son of Sam, or David Bercowitz, as Jewish. It never occurerd to me.

It was one of that spasm of 1970s serial killers – a segue between the spate of airline hijackings in early 70s, and the school shootings that followed.

In retrospect, hijackings, serial killers then school shooters may have been copy cat, or they may have been deep state contrivance. I really have no idea.

Now this is an instructive little lecture:

https://twitter.com/leahmcelrath/status/1721959767315263709

This is Ruth Wisse, a hard line neo-con Zionist (which serves as a conceptual link to Douglas Murray and his ferocious “war on terror” rhetoric).

Isn’t she terrifying?

Here is my own transcript of part of her sinister little pep talk. And it is one hell of a cold shower!:

“And you’ll say what? You want us to make you look good? That’s not my job. Your job is to make us look good.”

(points to herself)

“Our job is not to make you look good, American Jews.”

(And listen to the contempt in her voice!)

“What do you have to worry about? Your job is to make us look good. And here’s how you do it. Every one of us has to serve three years in the army, two years, some of us five years and then for the rest of our lives. You have got to serve two or three years in the army of words. You’ve got to learn to fight the political battle which is even more important at this point than the military battle. We’ll fight the military battle. … You’ve got to learn to fight back on the campuses, how to make the arguments ….and you know how we train in the army? We don’t train for defensive warfare. If the war for Israel had to be fought on Israeli soil – do I have to tell you? It’s an impossibility …. Don’t let the war of words ever be fought about Israel’s nature. Let it be fought over why you can’t accept Israel.”

The message could not be clearer. There is no room for argument here! The ones she is calling on exist only to wage a war of words for Israel. No pause. No criticism. No room for any doubt or hesitation whatsoever.

And that explains the manner and pronouncements of Douglas Murray, Ben Shapiro, David Collier and thousands of others.

It also explains Mayim Bialik. Indeed, her case is very interesting. One celebrity is worth a thousand paid up trolls. I have no doubt that Bialik has been tutored and managed every step of the way. All the pauses, all that faux reasonableness. Indeed, if you watch her without paying attention to the content of her speech, you must admit it’s an impressive performance. The way she hints at those thunderous depths that she is cautiously navigating. Veiled threat: “You wouldn’t want to get me riled!”

These are the foot soldiers of the Zionist war.

I see more people now saying the point is division and distraction and I agree and it’s gratifying to see people waking to new realities. However I think it may be even one step more cynical and diabolical.

I believe from what I see that we may soon witness a “flip of the script”. I believe Israel may soon be dropped by everyone but the so-called “alt right” who will elect to go down with her ship.

I believe the majority of the media will fall behind the so-called “silent majority” of ordinary people and begin more and more to condemn Israel.

Eventually the politicians will “reluctantly” follow suit, Israel will be condemned in the UN and there will be promises of punishment, war crime trials etc.

I believe this may be presented to the masses as a “triumph for the common man”, and we will all be flattered that our protests and righteous anger have prevailed. But in reality this will all have been planned.

On the back of this I believe the controlled independent media will join with the “enlightened” mainstream in calls for action to be taken to prevent such abuses as those done by Israel ever happening again. This will be presented to us as a “new age of accountability and direct democracy”, which will be a lie.

I believe the masses will support this in the false belief a new age of hope is dawning.

In reality I believe this will be when Agenda 2030 begins to be seriously introduced and large central authority given to the UN or perhaps a newly created body at first in the pretence of holding nations accountable and only later will the truth become obvious to all, but by then too late.

I do not claim this will definitely happen, but I fear it may.

You know that chimes with what people are saying about the mainstream showing the Gaza situation with sympathy which, yeah, they are doing. I thought they are just trying to keep the pot stirring but maybe not. Maybe they are gonna pull a bait and switch on us.

If I understand correctly, if the Palestinian people get their State and Israel is somehow blamed or sanctioned in any way, that may be a step toward Agenda 2030. If, on the contrary, Israel keeps its international position and the West get out of this crisis more or less intact, perhaps making some concessions to Palestinians but without solving the problem, meaning continued violence in the Middle East, it wouldn’t be any better because conflicts will continue.

So we may summarize this line of thinking as follows: in whatever direction History avances would be a step toward the Agenda 2030. In these circumstances, if we always frame events (we always can) as conducive to the same ultimate destination, why waste time thinking and writing articles, essays, critiques, at all? Why not give up making nuances and contrasts and analysing conflicts, it after all whatever happens is framed as provoked by “them” to get to their objetives?

I can’t imagine how human spirit can coexist with such a lack of faith in humanity as life, and thus, as essentially the unexpected and unpredictable, the death but also life; it’s like watching the same black-and-white movie again and again and again: we know what to expect; it has no twists, no life, no novelty, no astonishment and no hope.

I think this “Party line” is prompted by a too strong attachment to our historical, petty, finite, physical, individual and subjective life, as the precious center wherefrom everything is appreciated, instead of from the long existing historical duration, the species-being: things don’t seem to go the way our petty individuality wants, not in one year, one decade or one century; we lament that we shall depart this life without having seen things changing course in the slightest, not perhaps even for the next generations. But changing course in what direction, might I ask, if we already cynically presupposed that all roads lead to Rome, aka Agenda 2030? Hegel called this attitude “unhappy consciousness”, and Adorno, in his Minima Moralia, 1944 describes it thus:

“Subjective reflection, even if critically alerted to itself, has something sentimental and anachronistic about it: something of a lament over the course of the world, a lament to be rejected not for its good faith, but because the lamenting subject threatens to become arrested in its condition and so to fulfill in its turn the law of the world’s course. Fidelity to one’s own state of consciousness and experience is forever in temptation of lapsing into infidelity, by denying the insight that transcends the individual and calls his substance by its name [society] … Nevertheless, in an individualistic society, the general not only realizes itself through the interplay of particulars, but society is essentially the substance of the individual.”

I know one thing: as a species, we evolve through the individual, and thus the state of the living individual is nothing as compared to its evolution, and the direction of that evolution is often and understandably invisible to the contemporaries of an era which goes in the same sense then the quote above:

“The contemporaries seldom understand their own epoch – specially in troubled times, wars, and revolutions. Primarily concerned by their personal and immediate interests, over-whelmed by the events, troubled in their mental habits to which the facts no longer correspond, they unsuccessfully seek some fixed points which may allow them to discern the direction of the current that is carrying them away,…

“then, instinctively, they choose, among various hypotheses, the one that seems the most favourable – and effortless – and believe in it for the only reason that they wish it is the truth.[Own translation from French]” – Francis Delaisi, The European Revolution, 1942

So, Cheer up folks. Life is much more than this.

No. Palestinian people deserve their homeland of course. But I think the narrative I describe will only pretend to have that as a goal. Rather than freeing Gaza the intent will be to make the world one big Gaza. I believe we are in danger of seeing Agenda 2030 rebranded(?) as a “mass popular movement” and being promoted to us as if we desire and need these things in order to avert future terrible loss of life.

I believe us being alerted to these possibilities may reduce the likelihood of them succeeding

Your scenario is all too plausible, but I’m not sure that this war/genocide in Gaza is sufficient justification for the implementation of the Great Reset/Agenda 2030. At least I hope not. Maybe if it became a wider war they could use it towards that end, but it’s good to be aware of all possibilities.

The Coming Revolution

Nov 12, 2023 9:40 AM

Why wouldn’t we like them to succeed? In the name of what are we opposing Agenda 2030, to be ascribing everything occurring to an unwanted globalist plan, even as a possibility? In the name of what do we not want what is allegedly being planned?

If we say it’s for freedom, then let’s talk about freedom and how it was slowly eroded. I guess that shall lead us to economic considerations, to actors, yes, but, it will turn out, only as a quick mention before getting to the primary factors which are the economic and financial processes and their discussion.

But the prevailing attitude is to stop at the actors’ level without even examining the possibility of a current carrying “them” too, and without any attempt to hear what they have to say, through the papers they publish on economic and financial matters, which, needless to say, are not republished and discussed in the alternative media, if we exclude the specialised ones. Oddly enough, they are much more discussed in the mainstream media.

A concrete example will suffice: we had on here a few articles on CBDC but none mentioned inflation, zero lower bound, negative interest rates, and their relation to the unemployment.

And thus, we frame it all simply as “them” doing it to “us”; a constant lamentation, which however is inconsistent with its assumed purpose (recover our freedom) as it doesn’t look beyond immediate agents of that which it laments against, and what’s more, doesn’t want to look. A subjective lament as Hegel and Adorno describe, full of itself, excessively preoccupied with the short duration, with its own skin, as if the whole humanity were fitted within one’s lifetime, and finding satisfaction in the mere lamenting. That inconsistency is what I object to.

Hence, also, the absolute “power” we ascribe to these globalists as if unhindered in everything they plan to do; and thus, the agressiveness of some contributors claiming to know their tactics and “telling” the “less shrewd” which attitude they should adopt towards this and other crises, instead of convincing with objective arguments from the economy and finance (primary causes) to back their statements.

At the end of the day, the reluctance to get to the ultimate causes of the current crises, but stop at “agents” is IMO an inconscient desire not to get into a critique of Capital, that is of one’s own way of life.

Do you want how you spend your money to be controlled by the same state/corporate conglomerate? Do you want to have cricket flour and lab-grown meat forced upon you?

None of that. I want the earth open to every human to dwell upon it free as the air, and to eat of its fruits, as the product of their labour.

Now, If you go to the UN website and look for Agenda 2030 objectives as they appear there you will find it is mostly framed in Human Rights language, like no poverty, zero hunger, good health and wellbeing, clean water and sanitation, sustainable cities, etc. On the face of it, it is all good. So why do we not want it?

The Coming Revolution

Nov 12, 2023 1:46 PM

Meanwhile, this is my answer: I’m not opposed to the objectives of the UN for 2030 but to the means it pretends to use to solve the real world problems, which are those same means that created them in the first place. In other words, the UN is tasking Capital – through capitalist classes – and the States -through governments – to solve problems they themselves had to create. Otherwise, who would be against the stated objectives for 2030? Only, in the manner they propose to solve them, they will only create patches somewhere by worsening things elsewhere. That’s why I object to the Agenda, as it is proposed to be carried out.

You see, I have nothing personal against Guterres, or Schwab, or Gates, or Fink, or Zuckerberg, or Dorsey, or Musk, or any politician, as individuals; I’m against the way they operate. We should agitate against the use of Capital to allegedly solve problems it can but worsen. However, not everyone is ready to take the step from “actors” to the economic system as it implies a critique of our civilisation. Many are more confortable with “guilty actors”, even if at this point in time, it is an accepted fact that a change of actors doesn’t change objective conditions of life. So it’s a dead-end then.

And one example of this empirical way of “solving” problems is the uberisation of the economy, which took off during the medical charade as part of the economy switched online. Now, it appears, all those people who lost their jobs or never found one and started working as deliveries on bicycles or motorcycles, or using their private cars as taxis are classified in many countries as employed even if they have no health or accident insurance or any other covers at all, while the companies they work for keep making profits as usual.

This is why I oppose the agenda, and why I oppose Capital in general, because it will objectively mean improving conditions for some by worsening them for others, all for a period of time only, after which, another Agenda will be set up, etc.

And so, we agree on what we want or don’t want but we point to different causes which determines different attitudes.

And regarding the current crisis in the Middle East, it has IMO nothing to do with religion as I thought it was up til recently. The religious (messianic) argument as a source of the problem has no weight in the long run. On the ground, in 1948 onward, it was economic, social, political, geopolitical considerations that worried Israeli policy makers, not in the least some versicles in religious books. The influence of these are minimal. And thus, today, it was likewise the initial withdrawal of US presence in the Middle East and its spontaneous replacement by China, which woven a distinct kind of alliances, functional to its interests, that IMO prompted a long chain of events that led to the 7th of October. The peculiarity of the people of historically Jewish faith can be explained through social and economic considerations which determined religious characteristics, not the other way around. Don’t think that in the cabinets of the world, officials talk of rituals and other religious practices. Not at all, the talk is about the economy primarily.

Well, I said my piece; here are some Marxist references on the subject of the Middle East I’ve consulted so far: Abraham Leon, Nathan Weinstock, or more generally Max Weber.

I hear you, but here’s the thing: “they” very frequently operate in exactly the way described. They set up a false dialectic and no matter which narrative wins, the elements they wanted are included. Today, it’s this militarily & economically aggressive nationalism vs. globalist technocracy & disarmament. What they’re really trying to kill with this are traditional American values, like self-reliance, individualism, and human liberty. That’s the path that gets zero representation and that’s by design.

In the end, the synthesis will be Asian-style or American-style world government & serfdom. Woohoo.

Isn’t it possible that those values as understood in modern societies had anything to do with producing these globalists, wth producing the mindset that is theirs? I ask this as it is the natural thing to ask. When a crime is committed, the Law always tries to find motives. No criminal case is closed with the sole constatation of the criminal act.

This is my principal objection: the reluctance to go beyond the constatation of the facts and the possible identity of the actors; no judge would ever consider the case closed with these elements only.

Quote from author, poet and lawyer Michael Lesher’s article:

’So Batya Ungar-Sargon, like Mayim Bialik, has effectively accused all Jews – even “liberal Jews” – of supporting an openly-declared Israeli genocide policy. ‘

So, what does the article that author, poet and lawyer Michael Lesher links to in order to underpin the claim that there is an “openly declared Israeli genocide policy” say? This:

Declaring the start of a “second stage” of Israel’s war on Gaza—which he described as a “holy mission”—Netanyahu said that “you must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible.”’
Taking a reference to the biblical story about Amalek as evidence of an “openly declared” “genocide policy” is as valid, and as intelligent, as taking references to the story of David and Goliath, which happen all the time in various circumstances, for example during the resistance to Covid-restrictions, as evidence of a homicidal policy (‘BREAKING: Third division team caught plotting to kill and decapitate Manchester City players: spoke of “fighting Goliath” during training session for upcoming cup match’). And anyone who is literate beyond being literate in the mere technical sense of being literate should know that much.

Because facts really should be sacred:
There are civilian casualties, but there is no genocide. Even massive civilian casualties do not necessarily constitute a genocide. The state of Israel is not committing genocide, it never has, and there is no evidence whatsoever that that is what it intends to do.

If Jews support the bombing and killing of children, then no matter where they live they must understand there are consequences. They cannot hide behind anti-Semitism laws to protect themselves. Its the same as Muslims cheering on the murders of Israelis. Both are of the same evil mentality.
GB and the US are supporting Israel not in a peace initiative but in creating more death and destruction. They do this because Zionists are now a large part of the establishment that controls our countries. In fact they look after Israel better than they do their own. Why is that?

Two posts down from this hysterical rant of yours there’s a post pointing to CNN covering the Israeli killings in Gaza. The poster asks why are CNN covering this sympathetically to Gaza?

Did you read it? Did you watch the video? Did you engage your brain at all to THINK as opposed to REACT like a programmed moron?

WHY are CNN showing pro-Palestinian items as well as pro-Israeli?
WHY are Hollywood celebrities supporting Gaza?
WHY are major institutions doing the same?

Do you think it just might be because polarisation is the aim here?

Do you think people getting rabidly anti-Moslem or anti-Jew and posting hysterical hate-filled rubbish is what they want?

Do you think you and all the morons unthinkingly upvoting your rabble-rousing crap are possibly being played like violins by people much much smarter than you?

But sure, go ahead, demand in your flailing dumbness that people should be punished for their opinions. Not their actions, just their opinions.

Punished for supporting something bad.

Because that won’t backfire or be abused will it, you genius? No, of course not, because you only want the WRONG opinions to be punished. So that’s fine.

It’s not about zionism which is just a buzz word to get people predictably worked up.

None of that shit matters to the people that came out the woodwork in 2020.

All that they care about is building their neo-feudal globalist prison

which btw will turn the entire world into Gaza.

The Lobby

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lobby_(TV_series)
The Lobby is a series of documentaries produced by Al Jazeera that investigate the influence of the Israel lobby in the United Kingdom[1] and in the United States and their relationship to the BDS movement.[2]

First series (The Lobby)
In the UK, the National Union of Students, Jewish Labour Movement, Union of Jewish Students, Conservative Friends of Israel, Labour Friends of Israel and other UK based pro-Israel groups[3] were profiled. Additionally, the series explores claims of antisemitism in the Labour Party and also the role of MP Joan Ryan.

Second series (The Lobby – USA)
A US version of the film, on the Israel lobby in the United States, was made, in which an Al Jazeera reporter named James Anthony Kleinfeld had infiltrated several pro-Israel advocacy organizations in Washington, D.C. including Stand With Us, Brandeis Center, The Israel Project, the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, the Israel on Campus Coalition, the Zionist Organization of America’s (ZOA) Fuel For Truth, and the Canary Mission.

First Series – UK

https://altcensored.com/watch?v=FlyZfNYnUhU
All 4 Parts of the series combined.

1: The battle for Britain’s youth
In the first of a four-part series, Al Jazeera goes undercover inside the Israel Lobby in Britain. They expose a campaign to infiltrate and influence youth groups, including the National Union of Students, whose president faces a smear campaign coordinated by her own deputy and supported by the Israel Embassy.

2: The training session
In part two of The Lobby, Al-Jazeera’s undercover reporter joins a delegation from the Israeli Embassy at last year’s Labor Party Conference. The program reveals how accusations of anti-Semitism were made against key Labor Party members – and how a former official at the Israeli Embassy was upset when her background was revealed.

3: The anti-Semitic trope
In part three of The Lobby, Al-Jazeera’s undercover reporter travels to the Labor Party Conference, revealing how accusations of anti-Semitism by group within Labor targeted Israel critics and saw some investigated.

4: The takedown
In part four of The Lobby, the senior political officer at the Israeli Embassy in London discusses a potential plot to ‘take down’ British politicians – including a Minster of State at the Foreign office who supports Palestinian civil rights.

In late August and early September 2018, leaked portions of the documentary series were aired by several outlets including The Electronic Intifada. In early November, The Electronic Intifada released the four episodes of The Lobby—USA simultaneously with the French media outlet Orient XXI and the Lebanese newspaper Al Akhbar. Al Jazeera issued a statement condemning its release.

Al Jazeera documentary shows pro-Israeli lobby groups organising ‘fake protests’
August 30, 2018

Leaked excerpts from a censored Al Jazeera documentary, released this week, have offered a glimpse into the workings of pro-Israeli lobby groups in the US. Short clips of the documentary said to be four 50-minute episodes long, reveal a number of prominent pro-Israeli conservative think tanks spearheading a fierce campaign against pro-Palestinian activists.

In the clips released by Electronic Intifada, students can be seen boasting about receiving $50,000 dollars “plus benefits” for taking part in fake grassroots protests against pro-Palestinian activists. One of the students described their presence at the demonstration as “astroturfing” – a term used to describe fake political activism, which pretends to be grassroots-based. The same students are later seen holding “pro-Israel” signs at the demonstration.

An expert interviewed in the documentary explained the common tactic used by pro-Israeli groups as taking corporate money and “manufacturing the image of a grassroot movement… by basically paying people to appear as activists”.

The Grayzone presents exclusive leaked scenes from Al Jazeera’s censored “The Lobby -USA” documentary showing how Emergency Committee for Israel Executive Director Noah Pollak and the Hoover Institution astroturfed an inflammatory protest against the 2016 Students for Justice in Palestine national conference.

And yet the “censored” documentary is available to Grayzone, an outfit with very obvious establishment funding and connections, and it all helps to keep the cycle of hate turning. Pair this to CNN showing the horrors of Gaza on primetime. What is happening is not easy to explain.

As stated above:

In late August and early September 2018, leaked portions of the documentary series were aired by several outlets including The Electronic Intifada. In early November, The Electronic Intifada released the four episodes of The Lobby—USA simultaneously with the French media outlet Orient XXI and the Lebanese newspaper Al Akhbar. Al Jazeera issued a statement condemning its release.

Various groups will have had review copies prior to release. And presumably, people at Al Jazeera wanted it released – given that they’d gone to all the trouble of producing it!

One of the best kept secrets about the Jews, is their true numbers.

For example when I discovered my own Jewish ancestry, I found that about 1/3 of Dutch surnames are said to be Jewish. Even very common ones, like ‘De Vries’. How is this possible since their official numbers in The Netherlands are low, and Jews mostly married within their own group?

Once I read somewhere there are some laws that say the number of Jews should not be counted. If an estimate is to be given, it should be a far too low number.

This is as it seems because for the Jew to be a perfect scapegoat for the rulers to hide behind, it should be and stay a ‘religious’ minority.

But it gets even worse, the Jewish religion itself is corrupted long ago by the rulers to fit their purposes. Read Gerry’s website for more on this. A quote:

‘The Shabbath chapter of Mishnah & Talmud specifies countless things you may do or not do on Sabbath, since work is forbidden on that day. But šbt “Sabbath” puns with ṣbˀwt “war”, and secretly the very long chapter is really about how to manufacture a war: How to hoax up fake reasons for war, how to stir up the masses for violence, and how palace-bred aristocratic cowards can mingle with the cannonfodder troops without giving away that they’re just pathetic fraudsters.’

Might be relevant in light of the current events in Israel.

Telegraph going large on the “human shield” angle:

“Hamas tunnel found hidden underneath child’s bed in Gaza

Discovery is latest in series of openings to labyrinthine underground system that terrorists began building almost two decades ago”

Interestingly,

“Hamas started building the labyrinthine underground system almost two decades ago, initially to bring goods into the besieged Gaza Strip and later for military purposes.”

“Besieged Gaza Strip” raises a few moral issues, don’t you think? I.e. even if you blandly accept this item (and I see no reason to do so considering that the IDF has been writing the Western media script since the fabled Oct 7), then there is a signal that any “military purpose” served by these tunnels is the ultimate outcome of Israel’s repression.

This sounds a lot like the work of TRG and John Rendon, who is profiled in 2010’s “PSYWAR: the Real Battlefield is the Mind.” [I have posted links several times, whole documentary free online.]

The Rendon Group was responsible for many a staged psyop in the Iraq War. The whole Jessica Lynch Marine Damsel in Distress episode was fabricated by Rendon and his mercenary crisis actors, all a matter of “perception management.” (Mostly as a distraction from the grisly annihilations at Falloujah.)

He rents out his dubious services to fascist regimes the world over.

Now I am 70, almost all my female friends – ex, even my wife have been telling me, I am too old to have a kitten…But there she is, and I am crawling on my hands and knees playing with her.

I don’t know what is going to happen next..Sure she will probably outlive me, but before I die, she will have a litter of kittens, and we will keep one of them, before we give the rest of them away.

I am already feeling so much better. recovering from Sepsis crawling on my hands and knees playing with my new friend.

I have almost always had a cat, and in some of my depths of despair, when everything has gone wrong, the only thing that kept me going was stroking my lovely cat

My 5 year old Grandson chose her and named her like a 5 year old boy would on her appearnce…it was just so sweet…

I thought what a great name..cos she looks just like that..You don’t meet many girls looking like that…Do you remember what it was like being a 5 year old little boy – and dressing up for the show or party..you knew it was fantasy maybe from a dream, but you always felt safe and warm and not terrified in a storm, when you had every reason to feel like you should,,,,,,

Great yarn, Tony. It reminds of me of a story from my past. 

I was 50-something, newly married to a beautiful, exotic Filipino girl. She had her mothers eyes, a great smile and a PhD in home economics.  

Needless to say, when I became a father–everything I learned from school was out the window. Its a different world as a Dad. Flying spaceships and aircrafts, though in the guise of spoons and baby food, does have its place though.

I wonder often about ‘them’, and how ‘they’ might see all this.

But here I am, husband to a Filipino home ed teacher, three dozen children and grandchildren playing with my apron strings, nearly a thousand cats in my employ, and one deeply anxious chinchilla I picked up from a Hungarian pet salesman in Torbay, and that’s something they can never take away.

Now matter how old I get, I just seem to keep getting older. 

Good luck to this generation, I say…

The BBC article starts,

“On 7 October Hamas gunmen launched an attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip, killing more than 1,400 people and taking more than 220 hostages.”

It doesn’t matter how dodgy this assertion is or how many question it. Nor does it matter how various arguments about it unfold. “The 1,400” will continue to be rammed down your throat from now till the end of time.

Indeed, I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see,

It’s pretty obvious that the 1400 number is hugely inflated and that most of the Israeli casualties (if any) were military / contractors working for the military.
Since Israel lies ALL THE TIME we cannot take that number seriously.

Since the “attack” was a mickey mouse attack with hang gliders ( what happened to those?) over “one of the most militarised borders on the planet”, it is very unlikely the attackers were able to gun down 1400 Israelis. They could have done it at that fake rave party but they did not.

The meaning of Judea is the place of praisers, and the meaning of Jew is a praiser. So in the holy scripture these meanings are spiritual, not geographical or historical.

A Jew is the spirit who praises God.

10,000 out of 2,000,000 is 0.5% of Gaza: that is NOT genocide. As 70% of Gaza is aged below 30 of course there will be many children victims, but they already were Hamas indoctrination victims from day 1.

For a real genocide look ~ 100 years back to Islamisation of Armenians in the dying Ottoman empire where the deaths numbered around 1,000,000 out of 2,100,000, so ~ 47% of that population.

Double Bingo. Although the way the Spanish conquerors dealt with the indigenous is almost the exact opposite of how the Anglo settlers treated native Americans to the north of the Spaniards.

John Lennon carried a sign around at times as a handy audio-visual aid noting that in Mexico, and most anywhere south of the USA Inc borders, the Conquistadors intermarried with the natives, and only about 8% of the locals disappeared, which can be accounted in many non-genocidal ways.

Whereas, to contrast, the Anglo-Saxon usurpative colonists/settlers eliminated the same numbers the Spaniards had spared: 92%

Bravo to Lennon & Yoko for that: very very revealing stats.

WASPS have quite a closet-full of native skeletons, and the current major Scorsese production of “Killers of the Flower Moon” is painful and grim, but as is his wont, “Marty” dramatizes by way of a saga in Oklahoma a century ago, long after most of these genocides, the nuts and bolts of the daily greed and lusts that have led to so many heartless killings in this befouled society.

Like much of Scorsese, the historical depth of his Big Point slowly creeps up on you, which explains and justifies its three and a half hour run time.

And that is worthily quite revealing, however painful.

As an Iroquois preacher of heft once put it to a Black parish 40 years ago, live on tape, “White, Anglo-Saxon Protestant and Rich. You can’t ask for a worse combination than that, baby.” [Not to be scored as undiplomatic, he, and I, only were referring to that miniscule contingent of “the Bad Seed” lol, although they attract enough mercenaries as jackals, eh?]

Those, sadly, bring so much dishonor to us of their ilk but not their perspective, since most of their number is the demographic of the .001% that are turning our world and quickly into a prison planet. Portmeiron’s [Global] “Village”!

I agree with what you say except I don’t think it’s about oil or gas or natural resources, at least not primarily. If they wanted the gas off the Gaza coast they could just take it any time because Gaza is blockaded on its coast and couldn’t stop them. I think it’s just basically about creating a needless conflict with many victims to give us all something to be divided over and distracted by. The gas is just a nice bonus.

[ (In)Famous Fun Fact: My first date was summer 1962 with Ann Fadiman. We were fresh grads of the Buckley 5th Grade, though as a prodigy, she was only eight, I was a backward once-dyslexic 10yo. She told me a tale that day how her father Clifton (who had launched the first ever radio quiz show, “Information, Please” featuring literati from the Algonquin Club in 1930s NYC) had watched the delivery of one of the early TVs, 1950s, carried up the walk to their door, seen through the window of their (hefty) mansion at 345 St. Pierre in Bel Air, on shipping orders from her mother, sinologist Ann Jacoby Fadiman, and whereupon he made a quick trip to the living room, where it sat deposited, encircling it in both arms, and walking it out to the entry walkway, upon which he quickly smashed it to smithereens and shards on their pavement. So she told it.

That his prescience of gathering worldwide televised evils struck me and stuck, always in memory of that far
away summer day, awash then in shock and boyish awe.

25 years later the Reagans retired to their own spread down at the winding ivied corner, 666 St. Cloud, soon amended by Nancy to 668. (“You shall know the Beast by the numbers in his name: 6 hundred three score and 6”: so just sayin’, count it: “R.O.N.A.L.D. W.I.L.S.O.N. R.E.A.G.A.N.” But I digress, I guess.)

About the same time, Ann was made & stayed longtime editor of American Scholar.

Must have been all the heavy doses of past art music, books beyond count, etc etc, in lieu of the “boob tube,” as her daddy would call it, even in print, and widely.

Tellyphobes!

A shallowest reading, but common enough.

The whole problem is in that shallow trait the all-so-human trait to anthropomorphize God. To see him only in shades of our own image.

Hell’s Bells, even a mind like Voltaire was prone to do it relentlessly, as was Gore Vidal. They either didn’t get, or refused to accept, that God works at a much deeper level than many are willing to entertain or perhaps even see, a minimum of distance. “As high as the heavens are above the earth so high are my ways above your ways,” so also “sings” the (J*wish) prophet Isaiah. [3 millennia past.]

Part of that no doubt comes for certain types possessing “a spiritual awareness that doesn’t go higher than their hair.” Or, lack thereof.

For others, they are committed to a perspective that refuses to admit any intellectual process that allows such mysteries of depth to be part of the argument.

Seems like that for Christopher Hitchens, as an exemplar, whose very last words on earth in prose were a review of a biography of GK Chesterton for The Atlantic, where he opened by begrudging that GKC wrote much poetry that was “unforgettable”* but then went on a tirade how he was intellectually charming but “sinister.” His final take.

There are many an “obex” or obstacle in minds, each one which can block the flow of the Holy Spirit (or let’s say for the unconvinced perhaps, the greatest spirit of “Good”) even however that may be received.

Sometimes all that uncannily disappears in the light of sudden humility. BINGO. (I know that bending my own neck has often unfathomably helped!)

But “we” find so many that get invested in their personal collection of blocks.

“There is no bigot like the atheist.” All intellect and other chops notwithstanding!

£4£&$4$+my2¢™===========

* Contrast Graham Greene, years before he became a Catholic, who shares with us in his first of two memoirs “A Sort of Life” how he ran “in his schoolcap” after GKC for an autograph when he saw him by chance “laboring down Shaftesbury Avenue like a Lepanto galleon” [snicker].

Yet toward the end of that epistle he speaks of reading a Chesterton poem “with all its clanking machinery” (if memory serves a citation).

[Chesterton had written an introduction to the first collection of Vivienne Dayrell-Browning’s (sp?) poetry, amazingly when she was twelve, some years later soon enough she became Greene’s wife and Catholic muse, while leading him to his curiously “god-bothering” Faith. (Well, he gets a hall pass from me, as does Polanski, as both were historically early & OFTEN targets of ur~MKUltra practices and the first schools of “psychiatry,” quite unbeknownst to them, as is usually the case (such as mine, with a couple of Beverly Hills shrinks, at the same tender age as GG, 15: no wonder I was an early fan, even that very year).

The Mengele Mind Kontrölle kinds almost never let on to their “patients” unless it profits them. Just ask poor Whitey Bulger. Or Charlie Manson, for all that. They got wise, at least on that. As Number Two would say to Number 6, “That would be telling!”)*

[PPS: I for one find GKC poetry a glory-prone mix of both: unforgettable machinery. Man, the same is so with my favorite if eternal musician Bach: Colette called him “the celestial sewing machine” but that only begins it.]

We are all jews. Acc to legend we all root from Adam and Eve. Abraham became the one chosen to be father of the earth. Out of Abraham came Israel’s 12 tribes spreading to the world.
The Bible differs between the true jews and the false jews.

Just to point on some of your lack of knowledge to what you guys comments on.

It doesn’t always make much human sense. grant you. But before humintel, there was Theointel. Huge. Bigly. Down here, we are always on a need-to-know basis, and with good reason.

Besides, He hides his treasure in clay vessels, and they all have feet of clay to boot. And boot it, they so often do. Just look it up, the whole Pentateuch is an extended rant against the errantries of his chosen. Right amidst the blessing, “Are my ways too hard, or is it your ways that are too hard.”

Pretty clear how the chosen things bag out, mostly.

We all come into the world “damaged goods.”

And isn’t that great Good News? People would never even be bothered to look for God without the frailties. So unlike the “too cool for school” fallen prisoners through their self-overestimated excellence. Or whatever doesn’t float that boat.

Well, not to get preachy or anything, but I’m like that, whenever such things are challenged on earthly logic alone, and practical plausibility.

Obviously, there are some very different standards.

Join the club maestro. As an American and long time anti-imperialist, the voices that indicate ALL Americans are murderous warmongers are many and continuous. And I remember reading many years ago about how many blacks will cringe when they hear some terrible news about someone or some people who did this or that and praying they weren’t black. Same thing only different. Then you’ll have the people, I’ve seen it many times on this site, particularly from one person, accusing ALL Americans and insinuating that it is ALL Americans’ fault and we should ALL be punished. A lot of people hate America, so they hate all Americans. So this kind of “messaging” works, and it does bring everyone else down. Kind of like ALL Germans and the Nazis. “Why didn’t they stop it”? That’s how it is, and the propaganda works.

I grew up with the idea that Americans were warmongers etc. Then I got to know them and discovered that a lot of them are just like everyone else, and furthermore, they were about as powerless to change their government as I was able to change my own. Eventually, through twists and turns of fate I not only ended up living in their country but also joined them — I’ve been a US citizen for nearly 20 years now.

The problem of what to do about fascists in our midst — what we could call “the German problem” — is actually very real since our Republican party, exemplified by Trump, is now openly fascist. I’ve read quite a bit of material about the 1930s and even talked with people who grew up in that time (including one or two Jews) and the overriding impression I got is that once the virus took hold there was very little anyone could do about it short of being a very short lived and rather ineffective martyr. That’s a bit depressing — we’ve all come across those Hollywood fantasies that have ‘our heroes’ assassinating Hitler but the truth seems to be that once you’re at that stage assassination wouldn’t change a thing, its becomes a train to Hell which nobody can stop or get off. So the key to stopping it is never letting it start and the key to that is remembering that it was openly encouraged by a large proportion of conservatives who saw it as a useful power base, a cat’s paw that could be used as a bastion against socialism, organized labor and anything that threatened their hegemony. Their ignorance and carelessness exacted a heavy toll on the world back then and they’re going to do it again given half a chance.

Well, it kind of baffles me how everyone in a country of 330 million people, particularly one that has been called, at least since I was young (60’s), the “melting pot” of the world consisting of all races, religions, countries, etc., could be generalized in any sense as all the same. But that’s how people tend to generalize things through lazy thinking. I try to avoid it but I can’t say I’m immune. As for Trump and his supporters and fascism, ain’t gonna happen, not like the past. For one, Trump is too stupid. The fucker really is stupid. Just look at what he came out and said about the genocide attempt by Israel today. He has no clue, never has, and no interest in having a clue, and is always winging it based on pure narcissism. That’s why he has only about a 20% support, half of them are also too stupid to know their ass from a hole in the ground, and the other half (here I am generalizing) hate the liberals so much that they would vote for Hitler, even knowing who Hitler was. But the other side of the coin is just as bad if not worse, i.e, Biden, the democrats, woke liberals, etc. The real fascist dictator at this point is called the Great Reset, aka the New World Order, aka, the crazy fuckers that want to rule the world. The zionist zealots, the neocons, the Bilderbergers, the Club of Rome, the Trilateral commission, the rich fucking billionaires who control the media, the political systems, and our lives. And I’ve come to the nasty conclusion that there is no stopping it, there is only hope that a continued resistance can eventually change the course of things. The only recourse is to prepare to resist, because we’re just getting started.

Hitler’ s war was wanted and financed by US and UK high finance.
The existence of concentration camps was also known to those who financed it. ( read the “Tower of Basel” by Adam Lebor a.o.)

Who finance for ex. Trump and Biden’ s election ? And who finance the election of your own MP?
And the French president/ government for ex.. And finance/ own most media ?
When you know this – it is public knowledge (but may not be said/written) you have answer to many questions.

Americans support wars indirectly because having cheap gasoline is more important to them than the lives of people in far away places.

They will only protest when the gas prices go up to match what we in much poorer countries are paying.

The patriot’s trauma about 9/11 was that someone had the audacity and ability to attack the USA from the sky. Indiscriminate mass death from above was supposed to be their trademark!

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has this to say about Israel.

“Israel is a stronghold for us… It’s almost like having an aircraft carrier in the Middle East. This is our oldest ally. If Israel disappears, Russia, China and the BRICS+ countries will control 90% of the world’s oil, and this will be a disaster for US national security.”

I have no doubt that he’s a part of the Globo’s Club. And I suspect that the Zionist camp runs the US, to the detriment of the latter.

Israel is looking for a new protector now that the US is collapsing. I read that they are very good friends with Russia,China, Germany and Iran in spite of propaganda to the contrary. I have no idea what will happen next.

I doubt if Israel would become best buddies with Iran. Its not ideology, that’s just noise. Its competition. Iran is ten times the population and heaven only knows how much richer in resources, both material and intellectual. If it wasn’t for us keeping them down with economic warfare they’d wipe the floor with the Israelis just through normal commercial competition.

Russia and China don’t need Israel for anything. Its a country to trade with — maybe — but it really doesn’t have anything anyone needs (unless it can steal it off their neighbors….).

(Germany is probably a bit tired of being guilt-tripped by now. A lot of nations have very dark pasts, bad things that happened generations ago that should not have happened, but continually hitting on current generations for the sins of their forefathers gets very old.)

Bialik talking about how she opposes a ceasefire:

“No country in the world would be asked to stop protecting itself under attack from all of its borders” (from Wiki)

The logic is similar to Hitler’s with respect to a false flag simulating a Polish attack on Germany. Poor little Nazi Germany defending itself!

“This is, therefore, not about good versus evil. It is evil versus evil, trying to drag good down with it.

Violence is a failure of perspective. Over lifetimes every oppressor becomes oppressed, and every oppressed then becomes an oppressor, God sees to that. Even if you win today, you will lose tomorrow, until you realise that there is no such thing as victory or defeat, at least not in this realm. God is in no hurry with this and if we really are intent on destroying the civilisation that has taken thousands of years to build then so be it, we will just have to go round again until we get the message. If you hate and kill in this life you will simply meet those you hated and killed again in the next. Oppressor now? Oppressed next time round. And so on, and so on, forever. Until you break the cycle of violence.

The way out of this trap is to not fight, because the moment you do you have lost. Every dictator and tyrant began life as a freedom fighter and every tyrant eventually falls to the same, and that will not stop until there is a change in people’s hearts. This means resisting the temptation for revenge and instead casting a plague on the house of all those who kill, and all those who support them. Shun the sign of the clenched fist, the sign of violence, wherever it appears, wherever you see it.

This is why Christ was a spiritual teacher and not a freedom fighter. If he had been an agitator for reparations from Rome, or for a Judean State then Christianity would have never got off the ground. Instead his message was to ally with God and to say no to all forms of violence.

If you don’t like the lesson of Jesus, then take the lesson of Gandhi, who through non-violent protest snatched the jewel from the crown of the most powerful force on the planet, the British Empire. No violence. No revenge. No reparations. No redistribution. Simply non-compliance. If you want to keep your soul intact then this is the only way.

Civilisational collapse happens slowly, steadily, then all at once. The slowly, steadily phase is coming to an end, we are now on the brink of it happening all at once. Evil forces have been unleashed and are trying to goad good people into violence by appealing to raw emotion. Here we have the great unlearned lesson of our times – when it comes to the capacity for destruction, the cold, calculating mind has got nothing on the power of untethered emotion. We don’t have strong feelings, strong feelings have us, and many feelings can be profoundly destructive. There is no such thing as righteous anger, for as the great spiritual teacher Yoda tells us, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering. We have rational minds for a reason, and if we don’t use them we will not only lose them, but we will lose everything else in the process.”

There is no coherency in the “message” of “Jesus”.
He also said that he came to bring fire and the sword, and instructed people to “turn the other cheek”, which is a command for slaves. Bend over while I violate you, good sir.

The “message” of “Jesus” is incoherent, self-contradictory nonsense because, like Scientology, it is supposed to undermine the intellect and cause cognitive dissonace so as to perform the required brainwashing. The real message is ” submit to authority and be ashamed”. The “God ” of “Jesus” operates as a totalitarian authority that dictates The Law and is really a psychic parasite feeding on human fear.
