JIHAD DECLARED: Hamas Calls For Global Muslim Uprising Against Israel & the West on Friday the 13th
by Jamie White
October 11th 2023, 11:43 am
Former leader of Hamas Khalid Mashal called on Muslims to mobilize for a global uprising against Israel and the West on Friday, October 13.
Mashal proclaimed Friday as “the Friday of Al-Aqsa flood” and ominously urged Muslims around the world to sacrifice themselves in a “message of rage” against Israel and its allies.
According to a translation of Mashal’s statement by author Brother Rachid on X, Mashal “asked all Muslims around the world to carry Jihad by their souls; to fight and be martyrs for Al-Aqsa.”
“He wants Muslims to fight against the Jews, starting with Muslims who live in the countries surrounding Israel: Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt (but also other countries), to go to the borders and try to enter, each by his own means,” Rachid explained. “He said: This is the time for Jihad to be applied on the ground rather than just in theory. He asked the Mujahedeen to go in long caravans to spill [sic] their blood on the land of Palestine.”
Khalid Mashal the leader and founding member of Hamas gave a speech today asking Muslims all around the world to do the following:⁰⁰1. To show anger, especially next Friday, in Muslim countries and Also among Muslim diaspora around the world; he called it “the Friday of Al-Aqsa…
“Funds are important but today we are asking for your blood and souls [to be sacrificed for Palestine],” Mashal concluded, according to Rachid.
Hamas itself echoed Mashal’s call in a terrifying statement issued Tuesday, urging Palestinians to confront Israel’s military on Friday the 13th.
Meanwhile, the FBI, who recently designated all Trump supporters as “extremists” as the 2024 election approaches, downplayed the tangible threat of Islamic terrorism in a statement on Monday amid fears the collapsed southern border leaves America’s homeland vulnerable to attack.
“While the FBI does not have specific and credible intelligence indicating a threat to the United States stemming from the Hamas attacks on Israel, we are closely monitoring unfolding events and will share relevant information with our state, local, federal, and international law enforcement, intelligence, and homeland security partners to ensure they are prepared for any impacts to public safety,” the bureau said.
“We will not hesitate to adjust our security posture, as appropriate, to protect the American people.”
If the FBI wants to protect the American people, it can start by calling on the Department of Homeland Security to close the U.S. border that’s seen record numbers of illegal aliens crossing into the U.S. from all over the world.

The “Global Day Of Jihad” On Friday The 13th Will Only Be Just The Beginning…
October 12, 2023 by Michael
Law enforcement agencies all over the United States are deeply concerned about the potential for chaos during the “global day of jihad” on Friday the 13th, and I think that there is good reason for them to be on high alert. There are more radical Muslims in the United States than ever before, and many of them are rabid supporters of Hamas and Hezbollah. But this “global day of jihad” is only just the beginning. Once the Great Middle East War really gets rolling, I expect that we will see terror attacks throughout the western world on a scale that we have never seen before. So I am not just concerned about one day. Ultimately, I believe that we are entering a period when Islamic terrorism in the western world will become more common than ever.
If you have not heard about it yet, this Friday is supposed to be a “day of jihad” all over the planet…
The Palestinian Hamas terror group known as Hamas has called on Muslims worldwide to stage a “Day of Jihad,” or holy war, on Friday, October 13th — coincidentally, a date that resonates with horror movies and the upcoming Halloween holiday.
Hamas referred to the day as “Al-Aqsa Flood” Friday, referring to the name of the operation in which it murdered more than 1,200 Israelis, wounded roughly 3,000, and kidnapped over 100.
Will we actually see a large scale response to this call for “jihad”?
I don’t know.
MEMRI has translated the statement that was put out by Hamas, and the following are the five goals that the terror group hopes to achieve…
“First: We declare next Friday, ‘The Friday of the Al-Aqsa Flood,’ as a day of general mobilization in our Arab and Islamic world and among the free people of the world. It is a day to rally support, offer aid, and participate actively. It is a day to expose the crimes of the occupation, isolate it, and foil all its aggressive schemes. It is a day to demonstrate our love for Palestine, Jerusalem, and Al-Aqsa. It is a day for sacrifice, heroism, and dedication, and to earn the honor of defending the first Qibla of Muslims, the third holiest mosque, and the ascension of the trusted Messenger.
“Second: We call upon our rebellious youth throughout the West Bank, in its cities, villages, and uprising camps, in the streets and neighborhoods of Jerusalem, and at the squares of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, to rise up, join massive demonstrations, and shake the ground beneath the feet of the Zionist invaders and their settler gangs. Engage with their soldiers and cowardly army in every place, affirming the unity of destiny and the path towards Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa, liberating them from the defilement of the Zionist occupation.
“Third: Our people within the occupied territories of 1948, people of honor and courage, who have borne much to preserve their Palestinian-Arab identity. This day is your day to mobilize, assemble, and stand united in guarding the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque. Preserve it, its Islamic heritage, its divine message, and prevent settler gangs from desecrating it. Thwart the fascist occupation’s plans to divide it, Judaize it, and build their alleged temple. Unite with your people in Gaza and the West Bank.
“Fourth: We call upon the masses of our Arab and Islamic nation and our Palestinian people in all places, including refugee camps and the diaspora, to march towards the borders of our beloved Palestine in massive gatherings. On this day, we declare our solidarity with Palestine, Jerusalem, and Al-Aqsa. For those geographically distant, let them gather at the nearest point leading to Jerusalem.
“Fifth: We call upon the free people of the world to mobilize in solidarity with our Palestinian people and in support of their just cause and legitimate rights to freedom, independence, return, and self-determination.
Instead of showing up to support Hamas, people all over the world should actually be protesting the horrific atrocities that Hamas has been committing.
There is no possible justification for the things that Hamas has done.
And if they are given more opportunities, they will commit more atrocities.
Here in the United States, authorities will be trying to prevent Hamas supporters from attacking “Jewish houses of worship, Jewish-owned businesses and Israeli diplomatic buildings”…
Local and federal law enforcement agencies across the U.S. are stepping up their patrols of Jewish houses of worship, Jewish-owned businesses and Israeli diplomatic buildings as calls for attacks on the Jewish community in the U.S. intensify online.
Former Hamas leader Khaled Mashal recently called for Friday to be a global day of “anger” in support of the recent Hamas attack on Israel, which has left over 1,300 Israelis dead. He said demonstrations would send a “message of rage to Zionists and to America.”
Let’s hope that the chaos can be minimized.
But things are already starting to get kind of crazy in Paris…
And demonstrations have already started on college campuses all over America.
At the University of Wisconsin, supports of Hamas were chanting “glory to the martyrs”…
Geoffrey Datz stumbled upon a protest on the University of Wisconsin campus on Tuesday in support of the Hamas killers who slaughtered 260 Jewish kids at a dance party on Saturday morning.
The protesters were chanting, “Glory to the martyrs!” The “martyrs” are, of course, the Hamas terrorists who were killed by Jews before they were able to finish their mass slaughter of Jews on Saturday.
Are you kidding me?
These young people actually want to give “glory” to those that raped women, killed babies and abducted the elderly?
In recent days, quite a few leftist organizations here in the United States have made public statements of support for Hamas.
It has gotten so bad that even Jake Tapper of CNN seems concerned…
“These last few days have been a real eye-opening period for a lot of people — a lot of Democrats, a lot of progressives — in terms of antisemitism on the left.”
WATCH: CNN’s Jake Tapper states the obvious:
“These last few days have been a real eye-opening period for a lot of people — a lot of Democrats, a lot of progressives — in terms of antisemitism on the left.”

There has always been more antisemitism on the left.
And much of it is being fueled by radical Muslims.
This week, the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center in Dearborn, Michigan was absolutely packed with radical Muslims that were wildly cheering for Hamas…
You will raise an eyebrow or two at the video we’re about to present. It’s not footage from a Hamas gathering, but rather a rally right in Dearborn, Michigan. During the pro-Palestinian event, attendees were waving Palestinian flags high inside the spacious Ford Community & Performing Arts Center. The rallygoers seemed to have found their new favorite team: Hamas. “You think we’re going to zip our lips and tiptoe around when folks label Hamas as a terrorist gang? Think again. They aren’t the bad guys,” declared one speaker. His comments were met with roaring cheers from the crowd. But he didn’t stop there. “You want a real terrorist? Point your finger at Benjamin Netanyahu and his posse,” he proclaimed. The applause just kept coming. “And it’s not just Netanyahu; it’s every puppet dancing on his strings, backing his agenda in Palestine,” he added, fueling even more cheers.
This is what happens when you allow vast hordes of radical Muslims to migrate to your country and take over entire communities.
This is not Gaza.
This is not the West Bank.
This is Dearborn Michigan tonight.
An entire theater.
Cheering on an organized terrorist group.

This is not going to end well.
But most of you already knew that.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration is actually forcing Americans that want to be evacuated out of Israel to sign promissory notes…
In a time when Americans in Israel are relying on their government for support and protection, the U.S. State Department’s Consular Affairs Crisis Management System (CACMS) has left many American citizens hanging in the wind, demanding them to sign promissory notes as a precondition for any assistance in evacuating from the crisis-hit region.
The so-called “assisted departure options” were outlined in an email sent to American citizens stranded in the Middle Eastern nation, stating that the U.S. government would offer loans for transportation.
The Biden regime’s assistance to Americans wishing to depart Israel will come at a financial cost. Specifically, the email states that “departure assistance is provided via a loan from the U.S. government, which requires travelers to sign a promissory note (an agreement to repay) prior to departure.”
What kind of government would force citizens to pay for their own evacuations from a war zone?
This is nuts.
The Biden administration can’t seem to do anything right.
And they certainly won’t be able to protect us from Islamic terror.
So I would encourage you to do what you can to protect yourself and those that you love, because things are going to start getting pretty intense from this point forward.
A new era of Islamic terror has begun, and Friday the 13th will only be just the beginning…

If Israel, Hezbollah And The U.S. All Do What They Say They Will Do, Prepare For The Hot Phase Of World War III
Michael Snyder
Oct 12, 2023
Most people have no idea what is about to happen in the Middle East. The mainstream media is treating this crisis as simply a temporary conflict between Israel and Hamas that will eventually pass. But that isn’t what this is. This is the final conflict between Israel and Hamas, and it is going to spark a much wider war. Sadly, after the atrocities that Hamas has just committed, the Israelis have no choice. If U.S. women were raped and U.S. babies were ruthlessly slaughtered most Americans would feel the exact same way. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is telling us that “every member of Hamas is a dead man”, and the only way to accomplish that is to go into Gaza and kill them…
Announcing the formation of a unity government in a late night TV appearance, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to keep fighting Hamas. “Every member of Hamas is a dead man,” he said.
“Hamas is Daesh [Islamic State group] and we will crush them and destroy them as the world has destroyed Daesh,” he said in a brief televised statement, the first delivered jointly with his war cabinet.
Netanyahu also detailed some of the atrocities that took place during the Hamas attack. He said boys and girls were shot in the head and that people had been burned alive.
If Israel moves into Gaza, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that Hezbollah has warned “that it is prepared to open a second front”…
If Hezbollah—which is designated a terrorist group by the U.S. and is closely linked to Iran—enters the conflict in a concerted way, it would stretch Israel’s army and strain the country’s air defenses, given Hezbollah’s arsenal of missiles capable of striking Tel Aviv.
Hezbollah has privately warned Israel that it is prepared to open a second front if Israeli forces launch a ground assault in Gaza, according to Arab officials and diplomats. But whether Hezbollah follows through with the threat is a central topic of debate for Israeli leaders.
The Biden administration seems to think that Hezbollah is probably bluffing.
But they aren’t bluffing.
And if Hezbollah officially enters the war, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant is pledging to “return Lebanon to the Stone Age”…
Israeli leaders are trying to deter Hezbollah from joining the fight. “Do not make a mistake,” Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said while visiting troops in northern Israel on Tuesday. “If, God forbid, an escalation or confrontation erupts here, we will return Lebanon to the Stone Age.”
In addition, as I discussed yesterday, there have been reports that Israel has also threatened to destroy Damascus.
Needless to say, such a move would bring Syria into the war.
And actually Israel is already conducting air strikes in Syria.
On Thursday, the IDF bombed the major airports in Damascus and Aleppo…
But it seems Israel is indeed holding the Syrian government under Bashar al-Assad responsible, as on Thursday the IDF has struck back against Syrian targets. Syrian state television is now confirming that Israel has launched attacks on the country’s two main international airports, in the capital of Damascus and Aleppo in the north. It happened while an Iranian plane was inbound.
According to Reuters, “Local media channel Sham FM said Syrian air defenses were launched in response to both attacks. It said here had been damage but no casualties at the Aleppo airport, but did not give any information on the impact of the strike on Damascus Airport.”
State media has confirmed that the Israeli strikes hit runways and have left both airports out of commission. It’s not the first time Israel has attacked these airports, but them being both hit in a simultaneous operation appears a first. The Israeli army spokesman has also announced, “We bombed Damascus and Aleppo airports in response to the firing of mortar shells from Syria.”
On top of everything else, the Wall Street Journal is also reporting that the U.S. is promising to defend Israel if Hezbollah “launches a major attack”…
The U.S. has in turn warned Hezbollah and Iran that it will defend Israel if the Lebanese militant group launches a major attack. Israel’s defense minister vowed to send Lebanon back to “the Stone Age” if Hezbollah attacked. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Israel, where he said the U.S. had sent an aircraft carrier to the region to deter Hezbollah from entering the fight.
“We’re on the sword’s edge,” said one former Israeli defense official. “Brinkmanship is a dangerous way of life.”
If the U.S. starts bombing Hezbollah positions in Lebanon, Hezbollah units in Syria and Iraq will consider U.S. forces in those two countries to be fair game.
Of course if everything that I have discussed above actually happens, it will only be a matter of time before Iran is directly involved in the conflict.
Can you see how this war could spiral out of control very quickly?
But at this point there is no turning back.
On Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shared photographic evidence of the atrocities that Hamas has committed…
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has shared horrifying proof that babies were ‘murdered by Hamas monsters’.
Netanyahu showed US Secretary of State Antony Blinken graphic photos of babies who had been burned to death. Express.co.uk has decided against publishing the photos due to their extremely graphic nature.
A spokesperson for the Israeli PM said he shared “horrifying photos of babies murdered and burned by the Hamas monsters”. He added: “Hamas is inhuman. Hamas is ISIS.”
During a press conference, Israel’s President Isaac Herzog shared some of the harrowing reports he received from investigators, including that the bodies of those murdered by Hamas presented “signs of torture”.
And it is being reported that journalists from the Jerusalem Post have confirmed that babies were actually beheaded by Hamas at the Kfar Aza kibbutz…
It comes as apparently verified photographs of other babies beheaded by the ruthless terrorists in the Kfar Aza kibbutz just a mile away from the border were ‘confirmed’ by journalists at the Jerusalem Post.
The Kfar Aza kibbutz was one of the first Israeli settlements to be targeted on Saturday morning by Hamas. It was here that the terrorists, wielding assault rifles and grenades, ruthlessly shot dead screaming families as they begged for their lives before setting fire to their homes.
But that isn’t all that has been confirmed.
In one instance, one woman actually had an unborn child “sliced from her womb” by Hamas terrorists…
A rescue team who visited the kibbutz, where the smell of rotting bodies still hangs in the air, told how they saw a pregnant lady lying on the floor of the first house they walked into. When they turned her over, they saw that her unborn baby had been sliced from her womb.
‘We saw a pregnant lady lying on the floor, and then we turn her around and see that the stomach is cut open, wide open,’ Yossi Landau, an aid worker at the NGO Zaka, told i24News, his voice cracking with emotion.
‘The unborn baby, still connected with umbilical cord, was stabbed with a knife. And the mother was shot in the head. And you use your imagination, trying to figure out what came first.’
How would you feel if that had been done to someone that you love?
Right now, the people of Israel are filled with fury.
Israel will send troops into Gaza because they have no other option.
And when that happens, the Great Middle East War will have begun.
I have been warning that this war would be coming, and now it is here.
We are going to see unimaginable death and destruction in the days ahead, and our world will never be the same again.

Time Is Running Out As We Witness Middle East And European Wars With Nuclear Capable Countries Taking Different Sides - Can You Survive In The Aftermath?
October 11, 2023
By Susan Duclos - All News Pipeline
No matter which side of the Hamas/Israel war you come down on, when we step back and look at events happening right now, including the Ukraine/Russian war which has been raging since February 2022, it is clear we are witnessing events that will alter the world as we know it.
It is not just Russia versus Ukraine, or Hamas versus Israel, nor is it Democrat versus Republican on which side of either war they come down on. It has become citizen against citizen, friend against friend, neighbor against neighbor, brother/sister against brother/sister and husband versus wife.
Let us look to protests in New York City as an example of the ugliness we as Americans are displaying.
Hundreds of pro-Palestinian demonstrators, organized by the Democratic Socialists of America, rallied Sunday in the Big Apple — stomping on and burning the Israeli flag — as Islamic terrorists in the Gaza Strip continued their assault on the Jewish state.
Scores of counter-protesters turned out in support of Israel at the Manhattan rally, too, with verbal clashes between the opposing sides escalating throughout the day and at least one skirmish breaking out near the United Nations compound in Midtown.
One attendee in the pro-Palestinian camp was pictured holding up an image of a swastika on their phone....
New York City is not the only city seeing these types of protests, as we see reports spanning the world. From "Bangladesh to Las Vegas and Brazil to Rome, demonstrations by supporters of Israel and the Palestinians were held around the world as people took to the streets to expresses their views and often outrage as the war escalated between Israel and Hamas militants," according to the Associated Press.
In Paris, people gathered to support Israel as the Eiffel Tower was lit in the colors of that country, and in Rome more gathered at the Emperor Tito’s Arch as it was also light up in blue and white.
In Karachi, Pakistan, people burned Israelis and American flags while in London people held candle light vigils for Israeli victims.
The devil sure knows how to divide and conquer, yes?
These tensions are not just between people, but nations are also coming down on one side or another. These tensions are not just between world powers, but between nuclear powers.
Instead of thinking about what comes next as these wars rage on, the majority of people are so busy bickering on who is right and who is wrong, most aren't thinking of what comes next if cooler heads do not prevail.
There is no doubt that once the first nuclear weapon drops, many more are going to follow.
Are you prepared for the fallout, assuming you are not in the area of a direct hit or close enough to said hit that acute radiation exposure doesn't kill you within days or weeks?
HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI - A CAUTIONARY TALE
Both Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, were hit by atomic bombs by the U.S. and while nuclear bombs and atomic bombs have differences, and there are far more people in the world today, the fallout and deaths associated with the dropping of atomic bombs, work as a cautionary tale of the devastation the world would be looking at.
First, the differences between the two bombs.
• Nuclear bombs use fusion or fission reactions to create an explosive release of energy. Atom bombs rely solely on fission.
• Nuclear bombs are significantly more powerful than atom bombs. The first nuclear bomb had a yield of around 20 kilotons while the first atom bomb had a yield of around 20 tons.
A look at the damage of an atomic bomb, less devastating that a nuclear bomb, can be found in before and after pictures at History.com.
History.com also provides a written description of the tragic aftermath.
Because of the extent of the devastation and chaos—including the fact that much of the two cities' infrastructure was wiped out—exact death tolls from the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki remain unknown. However, it's estimated roughly 70,000 to 135,000 people died in Hiroshima and 60,000 to 80,000 people died in Nagasaki, both from acute exposure to the blasts and from long-term side effects of radiation.
The world population in 1945 was approximately 139.93 million, while the world population present day is more than 8 billion.
The loss of life in present day would be in the tens of millions or even in the billions, depending on how many nuclear bombs were dropped in retaliation after the first one was launched, and given the enhanced strength of nuclear versus atomic.
Another difference between now and then, is we have many more options to protect ourselves, and the ability to limit long term effects, as well as the means to obtain items to survive the aftermath that were not available back in 1945.
THE PREPARED ARE MORE LIKELY TO SURVIVE THE AFTERMATH
I have heard some say they do want to live in a post-nuclear war world, but unless they plan to commit suicide, which is tantamount to murder in the eyes of God, if they are not in the line of a direct or close hit, survive they must.
For those surviving a nuclear world war and planning to stay put, everything from creating your bunker, a basement for that have it, or a specific room for that do not, to having protective gear on hand, to food and water, to having enough potassium iodine pills, are all part of preparing for the worst, while hoping for the best.
The data below comes from the website World Population Review, and matches the estimates from other sources as well, as to what countries have nuclear weapons (and capabilities) and approximately how many they have.
• Russia - 6,255 nuclear warheads
• United States of America - 5,550 nuclear warheads
• China - 350 nuclear warheads
• France - 290 nuclear warheads
• United Kingdom - 225 nuclear warheads
• Pakistan - 165 nuclear warheads
• India - 156 nuclear warheads
• Israel - 90 nuclear warheads
• North Korea - none, but material to build 40-50 nuclear warheads
Those are just the nuclear weapons and nuclear capabilities, but some also think Iran, who controls Hamas, has the capability as well.
Between the countries that have taken sides or are supporting either Ukraine or Russia, and now the countries supporting and/or are siding with Israel or Hamas, which include countries with nuclear weapons, we are as close to another world war as we have even been.

China's 'Four Wars' Doctrine To Bring Down The American Empire Nears 'The Breaking Point' As Our Grotesque, Behemoth Government Turns Tyrannically On Its Own People
October 14, 2023
By James Howard Kunstler for All News Pipeline
“To all scholars who teach jihad… to all who teach and learn, this is a moment for the application of theories.” —Khaled Meshaal, former Hamas leader
It’s less than a week since the skies over the Negev Desert filled with something eerily like the flying monkeys of Oz upgraded to Hamas Road Warriors in motorized paragliders, kicking off that third world war we’ve been hearing about all our lives, and not at all the way we expected either, which was more Dr. Strangelove style, with the mushroom clouds billowing everywhere — though, who knows, it might come to that, too, before long.
This new catastrophe, quickly globalizing, makes the War in Ukraine seem as comfortable as an old sweater. For now, the question of intel failures must be put aside. There will be no official inquiries while US carrier fleets sail into position, and Hezbollah does a war dance on the northern frontier with Syria, and the Israelis struggle to strategize an extremely sticky hostage predicament, even as their air force blows up whole blocks of Gaza City.
Meanwhile, former Hamas chief Khaled Meshaal had called for a worldwide jihad on Friday the 13th, as it happens, by which he meant disruption within the entity known as Western Civ, where Jihad’s most dogged enemies dwell. For years, footloose emigres have been flooding into Europe and across America’s border with Mexico, mostly young men, hardly vetted, the sort of humans most likely to act-out warrior scripts in a zeitgeist gone sour, and I guess we’ll find out pretty soon whether some of them were sent to be activated against us.
The world is periodically subject to a mighty release of tensions. That’s why there are great wars. We’ve been well aware of these tensions building into the new millennium and now here it is. The elaborate systems we’ve allowed to evolve — our gigantic manufacturing and resource supply lines, the financial scaffold that has turned capital formation into a freak show of scams and wishes, the grotesque behemoth governments of a zillion regulatory impulses turning more tyrannically against their own citizens every day — all add up to a general condition of fantastic fragility. So, you see, a global release of tensions is liable to bust up a lot of those arrangements.
Western Civ has been expecting this for a while. All the years of clever work-arounds and kicking cans down the road tells you that. The big question is: can we carry on as before? And anyone with half a brain can see the answer is: probably not. That is, not enjoying the many comforts, conveniences, and luxuries we’ve grown used to, all of which hinge on our energy supplies, enough of which is centered in the Ummah of Islam so that when it is interrupted or cut-off, there goes the cushy life for us. (And let’s note that for many in Western Civ life has already and stealthily turned into a serious struggle lately).
So, whichever way these new events may go, things have changed. There will be more intense conflict over the remaining oil in the Middle East. Europe may finally discover that it does not relish being turned into one big mosque. And the USA is so lost in self mind-f**kery that we can’t even get our House of Representatives in order.
The American students (and faculty!) cheerleading for Gaza’s Road Warrior executioners might represent the last stand of Woke derangement. This degenerate nonsense has run its course. It may dawn in our centers-of-learning — and every other collaborating institution — that we have more important things to think about than the etiquette around men who dress-up as women.
One naturally wonders what role the shadowy Globalists have played in the build-up to all this, and how things will go with them. I can imagine Europe plunged into political chaos that would lead to scenes like a mob riding Klaus Schwab out of his Swiss redoubt on a rail, and the German government falling, and Paris on fire, and street-fighting in Stockholm. Chaos is as chaos want to do. One thing seems certain: it’ll be a cold winter there for most everybody.
It’s probably safe to say that Mr. Zelensky will not be getting additional bowls of gruel out of Uncle Sam. No one is paying attention to Ukraine now, and that sudden neglect by the once-solicitous NATO alliance could go on indefinitely with wider conflict breaking out elsewhere — meaning that Russia will be left to methodically restore the status quo ante that allowed Ukraine to be a quiet backwater in Russia’s sphere of influence since the end of the previous world war, until our wicked and reckless neocons moved to wreck the joint.
China is the joker in the deck now. There’s plenty of chatter that China’s banking system is toast, with its new and large middle class left holding a giant bag of worthless securities and unsellable real estate, and that when they are sufficiently pissed-off that will be the last round-up for Uncle Xi and his CCP. But then, you can also easily imagine that gang thinking now is the optimum moment to try and grab Taiwan and its riches, with Western Civ all tied up elsewhere. I remind you of China’s “Four Wars” doctrine for bringing us down. There’s Ukraine, now Israel, there’s the internal war of Left versus Right throughout the West, and there’s the massive invasion of Europe and the USA of uninvited mutts. Four wars. The breaking point.
Yet to play out is America’s crisis of leadership. As supply lines break, and the flash mobs loot the luxury shops, and the illegal aliens stream in, and the price of everything goes up-up-up, and the truth about the Covid vaccines is finally grokked, even the dazed-and-confused American public might notice that the White House has become a zombie palace. Politics hates a vacuum and “Joe Biden” begins to look like a black hole that will suck the execrable deep state blob that surrounds him across the event horizon that opens to oblivion. I’d go so far to predict that well before the 2024 election, America will have a new chief executive and that it won’t be Kamala Harris. It could be someone in a uniform, though. Just sayin’. Everything is in flux.

9 UN workers killed as Gaza Strip suffers from unrelenting Israeli airstrikes
10/12/2023 / By Richard Brown
Israeli forces have continued to pound the Gaza Strip with relentless airstrikes in response to Hamas’ surprise attack on 22 Israeli towns. Countless lives were lost, including nine staff members of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). They were killed in their homes across the Gaza Strip.
“The protection of civilians is paramount, including in times of conflict,” Juliette Touma, UNRWA director of communications, told the Associated Press. “They should be protected in accordance with the laws of war.”
Israel’s response to the Hamas attack has been aggressive, resulting in substantial destruction in the Gaza Strip. Many neighborhoods have been devastated by Israeli air strikes. The UNRWA headquarters in Gaza City and schools-turned-shelters have also suffered damage.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu subsequently declared war and said the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) would “operate forcefully everywhere.” (Related: Netanyahu promises to turn Gaza into “rubble” following Hamas attack – they will pay “unprecedented price.”)
An independent international commission of inquiry expressed grave concerns about the ongoing situation and accused Israel of committing war crimes.
“The commission is gravely concerned with Israel’s latest attack on Gaza involving the withholding of water, food, electricity and fuel which will no doubt cost civilian lives and constitutes collective punishment,” said the UN Independent International Commission on the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
U.S. President Joe Biden condemned the terrorist attacks by Hamas and expressed support for Israel, confirming that some Americans are among those held hostage by Hamas. As tensions persist, over 1,200 Israelis are reported to have lost their lives.
In Gaza, the situation is dire, with essential services such as electricity, fuel, and water collapsing after four consecutive nights of Israeli airstrikes.
Hospitals and medical facilities are overwhelmed, and it’s reported that Israel is targeting first responders.
Death toll among Palestinians has soared past 940, with at least 140 children among the dead. An estimated 263,000 Palestinians have been displaced so far.
Israel, on the other hand, announced that the deadly weekend attack has killed over 1,200 Israelis, 14 Americans and many other foreign nationals.
Gaza residents face an alarming humanitarian crisis.
“We are suffering, and the world is not moving a finger. This is an SOS to the whole world … you must help us,” said a Gaza health official.
Al Jazeera reported that Gaza residents are “trapped in a cage” with nowhere to escape amid the unrelenting Israeli airstrikes.
Humanitarian corridor through Egypt eyed
Efforts are being made to establish a humanitarian corridor through Egypt to evacuate Palestinian civilians, including American citizens.
The Biden administration said it is talking with the Egyptian government and regional officials to establish the corridor through which Palestinian civilians, particularly American citizens and passport holders still stuck in Gaza, could evacuate.
However, the feasibility and effectiveness of this plan are questioned, considering the ongoing bombardment and the challenges in resettling refugees.
Questions were asked: How would Gaza residents actually make it to the corridor exit amid the constant bombs? How can Egypt hope to resettle all these refugees given its struggling economy and lack of infrastructure?
Would this be facilitating a massive demographic “emptying out” of Gaza by encouraging the population to leave, instead of world powers pursuing a ceasefire deal?
On Tuesday, Oct. 10. Israel bombed the lone border crossing between Gaza and Egypt. The Rafah crossing is the only possibility of escape for Gaza civilians.
The conflict continues to draw international attention and debate, with different perspectives on the actions of both sides. As the situation worsens, it becomes increasingly critical to address the humanitarian crisis in the region and work towards a ceasefire to protect civilian lives.

Israel WEAPONIZES food, water and electricity against 2+ million civilians in Gaza in retribution for Hamas terror attacks
10/12/2023 / By Ethan Huff
More than two million people are now on the verge of being starved to death by Israel following a string of terror attacks from Hamas over the weekend.
From now on, there will be no more food, water, electricity or fuel going into the Gaza Strip, a sliver of land where Palestinians live in the midst of what has come to be known, as of 1948, as Israel.
Israel says residents in the Gaza Strip – estimates suggest about 1,100 Christians live in the region – will no longer be allowed to eat, drink, drive or turn on their lights at night.
“This is a war for our existence in the region,” announced Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. “It will take many weeks. There will be steps here that have never been seen before.”

Israel Katz, Israel’s Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, confirmed the decision, adding that his department, which handles water, will no longer be pumping it into the Gaza Strip, leaving the region’s two million-plus residents dry as a bone.
(Related: The Israeli government is not a friend to the Israeli people.)
Israel lifts all “restraints,” calls on military to kill EVERYONE “who fights against us”
On Tuesday, Gallant added to his statement that Israel will now engage in a “full offensive” against the Gaza Strip, which is where it says Hamas militants are hiding and plotting to murder Israeli children “in the countryside.”
“I have released all the restraints,” Gallant said chillingly, restraints sounding a whole lot like the restrainer as mentioned in II Thessalonians 2:6.
“We have (regained) control of the area and we are moving to a full offense.”
At a meeting with Israeli military forces and elite fighters near a Gaza border entry, Gallant would further hype up Israel’s trained killers by once again dehumanizing the residents of the Gaza Strip.
“You fought with great courage,” Gallant told the Israeli fighters. “You have seen what we are fighting: human animals. You can change the reality here.”
“You have seen the prices (paid) and will see the change. Hamas wanted change in Gaza; it would change 180 degrees from what they thought. They will regret this moment: Gaza will never be what it was.”
Just to be sure the Israeli fighters understood his point, Gallant would go on to talk about Israeli children being “murdered in the countryside” if the Gaza Strip is allowed to continue existing as it has for many decades.
“It cannot be that Israeli children are murdered in the countryside, and Hamas continues to exist,” the minister said. “I have lifted all restrictions: anyone who fights against us will be killed by any means necessary.”
Thousands have died on both sides, we are told, with the death toll still increasing every day as Israel lobs bomb after bomb into Gaza as part of this full offensive operation.
Residents who live in the Gaza Strip told one media outlet that these latest airstrikes by Israel are much different than those used in previous conflicts. These are much more destructive and are happening without any warning whatsoever, unlike in previous operations when Gaza residents were warned ahead of time.
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro weighed in on the matter by calling for the protection of “the sacred people of Gaza,” whom he says are being “bombed, tortured, attacked, persecuted and martyred.”
“The Christian world, the Muslim world, the Jewish world, the world of the South has to react,” he added. “We have to wake up.”

Hostages held by Hamas in Gaza will be almost impossible to rescue, warns counterterrorism expert
10/12/2023 / By Arsenio Toledo
Hostages snatched by Hamas in Israel could be hidden deep in secret tunnels in Gaza, moved across the border into Egypt, or even buried alive.
This is according to author and counterterrorism expert Samuel Katz, who spent years observing elite special forces units of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Katz warned that the fate of the dozens, possibly hundreds of hostages taken by Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups in Gaza is a “nightmare scenario” for Israel. (Related: An absolutely massive Israeli ground invasion of Gaza appears to be imminent.)
Katz noted that the IDF and Israeli intelligence agencies are possibly looking at multiple locations all over Gaza where captives could be held. He described the situation as unique and unprecedented as hostage situations go.
“We are in uncharted territories, this is unprecedented,” he said. “Large-scale hostage rescues have usually involved one location – they’ve involved aircraft trains, tubular assaults that would enable one entry, one exit or multiple points that the rescuers could breach.”
As Katz pointed out, this is not the case with the current situation. He warned that hostages could be hidden in tunnels near the border with Israel or they could have been moved to safety closer to the Egyptian border.
“You can have hostages that have been buried alive,” he added. “The barbarism that was displayed by the attack provides no envelope into how these poor individuals might be treated and where they might be situated.”
Gaza ground offensive to save hostages could lead to ethnic cleansing of Palestinians
Hamas has admitted to holding some 150 civilian hostages, and has even threatened to execute some of them should Israel escalate the conflict by launching a ground offensive into the Gaza Strip that analysts warn could lead to mass atrocities and ethnic cleansing on a scale not seen in the region in over 70 years.
“Talk of ‘another Nakba’ is on the rise in Israel,” warned Yousef Munayyer, a dual citizen of Israel and the United States of Palestinian descent, referring to the 948 atrocity that led to over 700,000 Palestinians fleeing from present-day Israeli territory.
“Most of Gaza’s residents today are in the territory because of the Nakba and continue to be denied repatriation to their ancestral homes in present-day Israel and the West Bank,” wrote Munayyer for Foreign Policy. “Now, Israeli politicians are calling to ethnically cleanse Palestinians again.”
Katz warned that the Israeli response to Hamas’ attacks on Israeli territory has been “remarkable” so far, given the amount of manpower Hamas and its allies were able to summon to invade Israel and the surprising ease with which it was able to take hostages. But he added that “going into Gaza is going to be a much more difficult situation.”
Hamas has demanded freedom for all 5,200 political prisoners the group says are currently held in Israeli jails in exchange for the captives. It has also warned that it will kill a hostage every time Israel conducts air strikes on civilian targets in Gaza without warning.
Israel has historically been willing to make big concessions to win freedom for hostages, almost all of them over soldiers or their remains. In 2011, Hamas released IDF Staff Sgt. Gilad Schalit in exchange for the release of more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners.
But right now it is unclear whether Israel would be willing to negotiate, as more than 1,200 Israelis so far have been killed in the current conflict. Gershon Baskin, who helped negotiate Schalit’s release, noted that nobody in Israel “has the appetite to give Hamas any kind of prize.”

Heavy bombing by Israeli forces threatens to turn Gaza Strip into a TENT CITY
10/13/2023 / By Richard Brown
Gaza Strip is slowly being transformed into a “tent city” after being hit by relentless Israeli airstrikes. Countless homes and vehicles lay in ruins, and emergency services are tirelessly searching for survivors amid the rubble.
Defense for Children International Palestine, a human rights group, has confirmed the deaths of at least 140 Palestinian children since the start of this wave of violence. Over 200 locations across Gaza have been targeted, resulting in the loss of more than 700 lives and leaving 4,000 others injured.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant declared that “all restraints on fighters have been released,” signaling an escalation in the conflict. He emphasized that the situation in Gaza would undergo a profound transformation. The offensive began with airstrikes and would eventually involve a ground operation. Israel has maintained control since the second day of the conflict and is committed to intensifying its efforts.
Gallant also expressed a resolve to eliminate those who seek to commit acts of violence against civilians, emphasizing that no compromise would be made. He highlighted the particular targeting of the Al-Furqan neighborhood, which Israeli officials identified as a “nest of terror.” This area, named after a local mosque, was allegedly used by Hamas to launch attacks on Israel.
In the course of the military operations, strikes destroyed a Hamas-linked Islamic university and targeted 80 Hamas-related sites in the Beit Hanoun area of the northeastern Gaza Strip, including two bank branches believed to be used for “funding terrorism.”
Israel’s actions have also included the suspension of supplies including food, water, electricity and fuel, to Palestinian territories.
The conflict, which has already claimed over 2,100 lives on both sides, is expected to escalate further, reflecting Israel’s determination to dismantle the militant group.
In Israel, at least 1,200 people have lost their lives, while Gaza officials report that 900 individuals have perished.
On Saturday morning, Oct. 7, Hamas militants launched a deadly incursion into Israel, claiming the lives of numerous residents in homes and streets near the Gaza border. (Related: PROXY WAR: Biden’s $235M funding of Palestine in 2021 contributed to Hamas’ violent attacks on Israel.)
This assault also marked the first time in decades that gun battles unfolded within Israeli towns. According to Israel, about 150 soldiers and civilians have been taken hostage by Hamas and other militant groups in Gaza.
In response to these escalations, Israel intensified its military campaign on Tuesday, Oct. 10, mobilizing an additional 360,000 reservists. The Israeli military announced that it had successfully regained control over areas that were previously attacked by Hamas in the southern region and secured the Gaza border.
A pressing question that remains is whether Israel will initiate a ground invasion of Gaza. This 25-mile-long strip of land, sandwiched between Israel, Egypt and the Mediterranean Sea, is home to 2.3 million people and has been under Hamas governance since 2007.
Humanitarian crisis looms in Gaza strip
In Gaza, pleas for relief amid unrelenting Israeli bombardments have thrust the densely populated area into a dire humanitarian crisis. The territory is now under a complete siege, with Israel cutting off access to food, water, fuel and electricity in retaliation for a recent Hamas attack on Israeli southern towns.
The main power plant has exhausted its fuel, leaving Gaza’s 2.3 million residents in darkness.
“The airstrikes are everywhere, the bombs are everywhere, the smell of death is everywhere,” said Wajeh Abu Zarefeh, a journalist in Gaza.
Zarefeh said there is no safe place, nowhere to escape and to run.
Anas Babas, NPR‘s producer, said they are trying to survive while covering the war for the world. He tried to evacuate his family from their home. But after realizing there was no safe place, he just took them back home.

Israel refusing to allow HUMANITARIAN AID to reach the 2 million civilians trapped in Gaza
10/13/2023 / By Arsenio Toledo
The Israeli government is refusing to allow any kind of humanitarian aid to reach the more than two million civilians trapped inside the besieged and blockaded Gaza Strip unless Palestinian militants agree to release approximately 100 Israeli hostages.
International aid groups are warning about the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza after Israel instituted its total blockade of the region, preventing humanitarian aid such as food, water, fuel and electricity to reach the people in Gaza. Israeli government officials have tied the potential flow of aid to the freeing of hostages. (Related: Hostages held by Hamas in Gaza will be almost impossible to rescue, warns counterterrorism expert.)
Hamas militants have admitted to taking around 150 hostages from Israeli territory back to the Gaza Strip. Israeli authorities have identified at least 97 of them as Israeli.
Israeli Minister of Energy Israel Katz on Thursday said the country will continue depriving the Gaza Strip of electricity, water, food and fuel until all of the hostages are released.
“No electrical switch will be turned on, no water hydrant will be opened and no fuel truck will enter until the Israeli abductees are returned home,” said Katz.
“Israel has denied even the Red Cross access to Gaza to provide emergency humanitarian aid to 2.5 million Palestinians trapped inside,” commented Rick Wiles of “TruNews,” who lamented the fact that the Gazans are trapped “with no food, no water, no electricity nor an escape route to get away from the Israeli bombing campaign.”
Without relief, Gaza hospitals could turn into “morgues”
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has warned that Israel’s ongoing blockade of electricity and fuel in the Gaza Strip could turn the region’s hospitals into “morgues.”
“As Gaza loses power, hospitals lose power, putting newborns in incubators and elderly patients on oxygen at risk,” warned ICRC Regional Director for the Near and Middle East Fabrizio Carboni. “Without electricity, hospitals risk turning into morgues.”
Carboni noted that newborn incubators, kidney dialysis machines, X-rays and other medical equipment are all dependent on power that Israel’s blockade has throttled.
“The human misery caused by this escalation is abhorrent, and I implore the sides to reduce the suffering of civilians,” Carboni said.
Hospitals in Gaza have been overwhelmed by the constant stream of wounded, and all are also running dangerously low on medical supplies. ICRC and United Nations estimates suggest these hospitals only have a few days’ worth of fuel left before their power cuts off.
The situation has been made worse by Israel’s deliberate targeting of health infrastructure. At least 14 health facilities have been damaged in strikes.
“The situation is very critical,” said Dr. Mohammad Abu Selmia, director of Shifa, Gaza’s biggest hospital. “We’ve never seen days in Gaza like what we see now.”
At least 1,500 Palestinians, including 500 children, have so far been killed in Gaza by Israeli air and artillery strikes, with over 6,000 more injured, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. If Israel continues to refuse to listen to relief groups who are calling for the protection of Palestinian civilians who continue to bear the brunt of the bloody conflict between Israel and Hamas, the number of civilian casualties in Gaza is likely to keep increasing.
The situation could be further complicated by an Israeli ground offensive in Gaza. Israeli military spokesperson Lt. Col. Richard Hecht noted that Israel Defense Forces “are preparing for a ground maneuver” should political leaders order one.
A ground offensive in Gaza, where the population of two million is densely packed into a sliver of land only around 25 miles long, would likely bring even higher casualties not just from brutal urban fighting but also from the inevitable civilian casualties caused by an Israeli offensive.

GENOCIDAL: Israeli lawmaker demands deployment of “Doomsday” weapons to annihilate Gaza
10/13/2023 / By Belle Carter
An Israeli lawmaker from the right-wing Likud party has openly called for her country to deploy devastating nuclear weapons as a response to the terrifying attacks of the political and militant organization Hamas that have left about 1,200 Israelis dead.
Revital “Tally” Gotliv posted multiple times on her social media accounts for her country to wipe Gaza off the map using massive weapons for destruction. Though it is believed Israel has possessed a significant nuclear arsenal since the 1960s, the country has never confirmed having these.
In one of her X, formerly Twitter, posts, which were written and posted in Hebrew and have been translated, Gotliv wrote: “Jericho Missile! Jericho Missile! Strategic alert. Before considering the introduction of forces. Doomsday weapon! This is my opinion. May God preserve all our strength.” Gotliv encouraged her country’s army to “shell Gaza mercilessly” as “only an explosion that shakes the Middle East will restore this country’s dignity, strength and security.” She further urged her government to do everything, use doomsday weapons fearlessly against the enemies and deploy “everything in its arsenal.”
Likud Member of the Israeli Knesset Revital ‘Tally’ Gotliv has called on occupation forces to use a “Doomsday weapon” against Gaza, in what many believe to mean a nuclear warhead https://t.co/me6Nen23r8
— Middle East Monitor (@MiddleEastMnt) October 11, 2023
She further revealed that the nation has artillery capabilities and the government has actually invested huge budgets in it, adding: “The lives of our soldiers are more important and precious than any person in Gaza. The gloves will be removed.”
Jericho missiles are a general name given to a family of ballistic missiles that were first developed by Israel in the 1960s. The Jericho-1 had a range of 310.6 miles and could carry about a 2,205-pound payload, though it had a 50 percent chance of hitting within a 1,000-meter radius of its target. The second one was a longer-range missile with a length of 15 meters, a diameter of 1.35 meters and the same payload capacity. It had a range between 932 to 2,175 miles. Jericho-3, which is an intermediate-range system, entered service in 2011 and featured improvements over the previous models, with a longer length than Jericho-2 and a larger diameter of 1.56 meters. Reports could not yet confirm if Israel has already deployed Jericho-3 during the ongoing retaliatory offensive against Hamas in Gaza.
Gotliv also said that the Israeli government must respond quickly because Hamas is currently “laughing” at her country and that merely ‘flattening’ a Gazan neighborhood would not be enough; Israel must ‘crush’ all of Gaza, she believes. Her government seemed to be sharing her vengeful thoughts.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom the female lawmaker has previously been extremely critical of despite their shared party membership, immediately declared a state of war right after the terror attacks over the weekend. He also vowed to come back with a mighty revenge on Israel’s attackers. (Related: Netanyahu promises to turn Gaza into “rubble” following Hamas attack – they will pay “unprecedented price.”)
Moreover, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has claimed to have “released all restraints” on the troops and promised to show no mercy in their fight against Hamas. “Hamas wanted a change and it will get one. What was in Gaza will no longer be,” he said, addressing the soldiers near the Gaza fence. “Whoever comes to decapitate [or] murder women, Holocaust survivors — we will eliminate him at the height of our power and without compromise.”
Expert: Israel admitting to nuclear capabilities ‘not good’
As Gotliv openly called for Israel’s implementation of a catastrophic nuclear counterattack toward Hamas, an expert from an international non-governmental organization warned against the “loose talk.”
Nikolai Sokov, senior fellow at the Vienna Center for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation (VCDNP), told Newsweek that openly talking about nukes has increased due to the war in Ukraine and the ongoing conflict in Gaza. However, he noted that the subject is a sensitive one in the Middle Eastern country.
“For Israel, such loose talk is perhaps even more damaging because the country does not even admit it has nuclear weapons, so an indirect confirmation is not good for its image,” Sokov told the news outlet, adding that any potential targets would be too close for Israel to even consider using such weapons without putting its own people at risk. He said, though, that part of it is understandable due to serious security crises, a lack of knowledge about nuclear weapons, visible political positions and more people generally pondering the use of such weapons and the effect on a global scale.
On the other side of the coin, Sokov warned that Gotliv’s calls for escalated measures are nearsighted for two reasons. As any potential targets are in the immediate vicinity, damage to Israel would be considerable. Moreover, the military utility of nuclear weapons is often grossly overestimated, especially by those who have limited or no knowledge of nuclear weapons. “There are, effectively, no targets for nuclear weapons in this war/conflict,” he also said.

Are you ready for what comes next? | This Fourth Turning is entering the phase where global war and civil war, or both, are likely to engulf the planet
“I have certain rules I live by. My first rule: I don’t believe anything the government tells me.” – George Carlin

Well that sure was a weekend of lies, misinformation, disinformation, and laying the ground work for the next stage in their Great Reset plan. The regime media is dutifully propagandizing the masses with the utterly ridiculous tripe that somehow rock throwing Hamas “terrorists” completely surprised the most militarized country in the world, launched 5,000 rockets, slaughtered hundreds, took over Israeli military bases, and are winning this “war”.
And almost immediately regime media mouthpiece – the Wall Street Journal – has proof Iran was behind the attack. Being a card carrying “conspiracy theorist” (aka critical thinking individual), I don’t believe one iota of what is being reported. The timing of this is impeccable. The Ukraine debacle is reaching its endpoint and a few congress critters refuse to fund this Biden money laundering operation any longer.
Biden’s impeachment hearings are underway. The economy has begun to tank. Biden’s poll numbers are atrocious. The invasion of the southern border goes on unabated. Democrat run urban shitholes are becoming more lawless, dangerous, and bankrupt. The national debt is rising at a rate of $1 trillion per month. This Fourth Turning has begun to accelerate into the violent, dangerous, and likely bloody phase, where an incompetent, dementia ridden, empty vessel, who is being handled by mediocre minded, diversity hire, neocons, could destroy our country for good.
As the drums of global war beat louder, does it comfort you that Biden drained our strategic petroleum reserve, and has left us with a 17 day supply of oil? Oil prices are only up $3 this morning, still lower than last week’s price in the $90’s. Markets are only down modestly so far. The 35 year old masters of the universe on Wall Street are trying to figure out how to profit from this war. It’s always about the Benjamins for the Wall Street cabal. They’ll be buying arms dealer stocks today. We all know war is a racket.
Victor Orban and a few other global leaders see through their game. I already noticed on Twitter how anyone questioning the Israel narrative is attacked mercilessly. Hundreds of tweets mouthing the regime narrative. Before long, anyone without a SUPPORT ISRAEL flag in their profile will be scorned, censored, deplatformed, and called a murderer. We’ve seen this show before, with the Covid scamdemic, and the Ukraine fake war. If the WEF and the globalists running the show don’t like what I and others have to say about this conflict, and conflicts to come, we’ll be declared criminals against the state.
This Fourth Turning is entering the phase where global war and civil war, or both, are likely to engulf the planet. This isn’t just scary words designed to generate clicks. It’s a warning that if you haven’t prepared for what’s coming, you better get prepared damn quick.

The thing that the liberals are far too stupid to see, is that the west is now the new Nazi’s. Europe and the Ukrainians view Asians as non human. Israelis and the west view Arabs and Persians as non human.
There have been countless statements made by their politicians saying that time after time if you are paying attention to what is actually going on.
The radicals in Israel are doing all this because they have the goal of tearing down the Al-Aqsa Mosque rebuilding the Temple Mount which will cause war with the entire Muslim world. The religious zealots are hell bent on starting WW3 because of their idiotic belief in a magic man in the sky.

Former leader of Hamas Khalid Mashal called on Muslims to mobilize for a global uprising against Israel and the West on Friday, October 13 | Is this why so many military age men have been allowed illegally into the west?
Major reason why Hamas attacks were ALLOWED to happen: Hamas Calls For Global Muslim Uprising Against Israel & the West on Friday the 13th. Why have so many adult young men been allowed illegally into the West?
Former leader of Hamas Khalid Mashal called on Muslims to mobilize for a global uprising against Israel and the West on Friday, October 13.
Mashal proclaimed Friday as “the Friday of Al-Aqsa flood” and ominously urged Muslims around the world to sacrifice themselves in a “message of rage” against Israel and its allies.
According to a translation of Mashal’s statement by author Brother Rachid on X, Mashal “asked all Muslims around the world to carry Jihad by their souls; to fight and be martyrs for Al-Aqsa.”
“He wants Muslims to fight against the Jews, starting with Muslims who live in the countries surrounding Israel: Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt (but also other countries), to go to the borders and try to enter, each by his own means,” Rachid explained. “He said: This is the time for Jihad to be applied on the ground rather than just in theory. He asked the Mujahedeen to go in long caravans to spill [sic] their blood on the land of Palestine.”
“Funds are important but today we are asking for your blood and souls [to be sacrificed for Palestine],” Mashal concluded, according to Rachid.
Hamas itself echoed Mashal’s call in a terrifying statement issued Tuesday, urging Palestinians to confront Israel’s military on Friday the 13th.
“First: We declare next Friday, ‘The Friday of the Al-Aqsa Flood,’ as a day of general mobilization in our Arab and Islamic world and among the free people of the world. It is a day to rally support, offer aid, and participate actively. It is a day to expose the crimes of the occupation, isolate it, and foil all its aggressive schemes. It is a day to demonstrate our love for Palestine, Jerusalem, and Al-Aqsa. It is a day for sacrifice, heroism, and dedication, and to earn the honor of defending the first Qibla of Muslims, the third holiest mosque, and the ascension of the trusted Messenger.“Second: We call upon our rebellious youth throughout the West Bank, in its cities, villages, and uprising camps, in the streets and neighborhoods of Jerusalem, and at the squares of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, to rise up, join massive demonstrations, and shake the ground beneath the feet of the Zionist invaders and their settler gangs. Engage with their soldiers and cowardly army in every place, affirming the unity of destiny and the path towards Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa, liberating them from the defilement of the Zionist occupation.
“Third: Our people within the occupied territories of 1948, people of honor and courage, who have borne much to preserve their Palestinian-Arab identity. This day is your day to mobilize, assemble, and stand united in guarding the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque. Preserve it, its Islamic heritage, its divine message, and prevent settler gangs from desecrating it. Thwart the fascist occupation’s plans to divide it, Judaize it, and build their alleged temple. Unite with your people in Gaza and the West Bank.
“Fourth: We call upon the masses of our Arab and Islamic nation and our Palestinian people in all places, including refugee camps and the diaspora, to march towards the borders of our beloved Palestine in massive gatherings. On this day, we declare our solidarity with Palestine, Jerusalem, and Al-Aqsa. For those geographically distant, let them gather at the nearest point leading to Jerusalem.
“Fifth: We call upon the free people of the world to mobilize in solidarity with our Palestinian people and in support of their just cause and legitimate rights to freedom, independence, return, and self-determination.
Meanwhile, the FBI, who recently designated all Trump supporters as “extremists” as the 2024 election approaches, downplayed the tangible threat of Islamic terrorism in a statement on Monday amid fears the collapsed southern border leaves America’s homeland vulnerable to attack.
“While the FBI does not have specific and credible intelligence indicating a threat to the United States stemming from the Hamas attacks on Israel, we are closely monitoring unfolding events and will share relevant information with our state, local, federal, and international law enforcement, intelligence, and homeland security partners to ensure they are prepared for any impacts to public safety,” the bureau said.
“We will not hesitate to adjust our security posture, as appropriate, to protect the American people.”
If the FBI wants to protect the American people, it can start by calling on the Department of Homeland Security to close the U.S. border that’s seen record numbers of illegal aliens crossing into the U.S. from all over the world.

It’s a Trap! The Wave of Repercussions as the Middle East Fights “The Last War”
By Brandon Smith
October 12, 2023
Few people are familiar with a little event around 1200 BC called the Bronze Age Collapse in the region known as the Levant (now known as the Middle East). Most folks are taught that history and progress travel in a straight line and that each generation improves upon the culture and innovations of previous generations. This delusion is constructed around a Smithsonian-influenced view of the past. In reality, history tends to go in a circle, or a spiral, with innovation leading to ease, ease leading to laziness and corruption, and corruption leading to weakness and collapse.
Over and over again, humanity reaches for Elysium on Earth only to be slapped back down. The survivors then build grass huts on top of the ruins of the old empires and they start over from scratch. Why is does the Bronze Age catastrophe matter? Obviously, because history tends to rhyme.
The Levant at this time was rich with civilization and trade, composed of a host of kingdoms that represented the known world including the Egyptians, Babylonians, Minoans, Mycenaeans, Hittites, etc. They had vast economic networks, agriculture, industry and written libraries. The proximity of the kingdoms allowed for such extensive trade relations that this period is often referred to by modern historians as the first “globalized economy” (sound familiar?).
What took centuries to build was destroyed in a single generation by a series of disasters. A “mega-drought” caused kingdoms without consistent water resources to lose agricultural production leading to widespread famine and disease (yes, the climate can and does change dramatically regardless of human carbon footprint). Trade was disrupted by internal disputes, and a mysterious invasion of a group of roaming raiders called the “sea people” is documented as a primary factor in collapse.
The Sea People attacked numerous kingdoms, but many of them were also refugees flooding into the region. They disrupted cultures and economies and dragged a number of empires into the dust. This all happened in less than 30 years. Sadly, because only the elites of these civilizations were able to read and write, languages and historic documentation were lost.
This initiated a dark age which lasted for centuries. Humanity was set back, essentially to zero, while scratching and surviving among temples and pyramids of past generations. They must have looked up at those decaying marvels of architecture from hundreds of years ago and wondered “What the hell happened to us?”
Not everything perished, of course. The Egyptian dynasties were in decline, but they managed to hold together far better than their counterparts across the Levant. However, the event represented a setback to human knowledge that was detrimental. One might suggest that if the Bronze Age Collapse never occurred we might be a space borne species traveling the stars by now.
Then again, maybe these cultures were so corrupt that they needed to fail so that something better could be built in their place?
What does any of this have to do with the state of the Middle East today? The smart readers out there surely see what I’m getting at. The intricate relationships and trade mechanisms of the Bronze Age led to great wealth and prosperity, but they were terribly fragile. That same interdependency resulted in their demise as they tumbled like dominoes on top of each other.
The globalization and collectivist war mongering of today is leading to a similar worldwide implosion. Our irrational ties to foreign entanglements and economies could very well destroy civilization again. Consider what are we about to see as the Israel/Palestine war unfolds…
Multiple Nations Dragged Into The Conflict
If you were wondering what the “October surprise” was going to be, well, now you know. I will make my position on this situation clear – I don’t care about either side. I care about innocent civilians, but other than that the war is irrelevant. I am an American and I care about America. The same goes for Ukraine and Russia. Their wars are not our wars, and I am highly suspicious every time our political leaders try to lure us into choosing a side when foreigners start shooting each other. To summarize: All wars are banker wars.
The Israelis enjoy our money but they have a history of proven elicit operations to lure us into war (USS Liberty, anyone?). The Palestinians and most of the Muslim world despise the west and Christianity in general (and I don’t really care who started it, the fact remains that our cultures are completely incompatible and this will never change). Just because we happen to find common ground on fighting back against the insane trans agenda does not mean I’m willing to accept draconian Sharia Law in my community.
Both sides use tactics that deliberately target civilians. I’m not talking about collateral damage like we saw in Iraq and Afghanistan, I’m talking about groups that are consciously and brazenly engaged in plans for genocide. Bottom line? There are no “good guys” to join with. It’s a complete sh*t show of ancient tribal nonsense that westerners should stay away from.
For those that disagree, ask yourselves this – Are you truly willing to go pick up a rifle and fly to Israel or Gaza to fight and die for either side? If so, then go do it and stop demanding others do it for you. If not, then shut up.
But here’s what’s going to happen: The establishment will seek to force Americans and Europeans into these wars regardless. The corporate media and some political leaders are already suggesting that the recent full scale attack on Israel was planned by governments outside of Gaza. Some are accusing Iran, and others accuse Lebanon. From the extensive amount of footage of the attack that I have examined, I have no doubt that someone other than the Palestinians orchestrated the event. The tactics were far too advanced and far too coordinated; the Palestinians have never been all that smart when it comes to military strategy.
Who drafted the attack is another question entirely. So far there are a lot of rumors but no hard evidence leading to any specific governments. Another big question is, how did the Palestinians manage to organize all of this and execute the invasion WITHOUT Israeli intel services knowing about it? Mossad is known to be one of the most intrusive and pervasive covert agencies in the world, yet they were caught completely off guard by this unprecedented attack? I think not.
I’m reminded of the events of 9/11 and the strange series of intelligence failures that preceded it. I’m also reminded of the lies, propaganda and the reactionary response which led to two decades of meaningless war.
I’m going to call it here – In a couple of weeks we will hear reports that many of the soldiers involved in the incursion were NOT Palestinian. They will claim some of them are from Iran, Syria, Lebanon, etc. There will be intel that says Iran was a major backer of the plan (The Wall Street Journal already claims this is the case, but they have not provided any compelling proof, yet).
A US carrier strike group is on the way to the region now, and this is just the beginning. Europeans will be pressured to go to war, American conservatives in particular will be waterboarded with propaganda telling us that an “attack on Israel is an attack on the US.” It will be a lot like the rhetoric Neo-cons and leftists used during the initial invasion of Ukraine, but multiplied by a thousand. To be clear, both Biden and Trump have been rattling sabers and testing the waters of war, so don’t think that we can avoid this simply by voting.
Multiple Fronts
Israel is going to pound Gaza into gravel, there’s no doubt about that. A ground invasion will meet far more resistance than the Israelis seem to expect, but Israel controls the air and Gaza is a fixed target with limited territory. The problem for them is not the Palestinians, but the multiple war fronts that will open up if they do what I think they are about to do (attempted sanitization). Lebanon, Iran and Syria will all immediately engage and Israel will not be able to fight them all – Hell, the Israelis got their asses handed to them by Lebanon alone in 2006.
This will result in inevitable demands for US/EU intervention.
East vs West
Depending on the extent of the western reaction, the BRICS nations may be compelled to get involved. This may not be on a kinetic level, but there is a chance. Russia has strategic security treaties with Iran and Syria. China has numerous economic interests and influence in the region as the world’s largest importer/exporter.
These nations might retaliate with the same kind of financial warfare that the west used against Russia – With China and the BRICS cutting off the dollar as the world reserve currency. This would add to the crippling inflation we are already experiencing.
Terror Attacks And False Flags
If you thought things might be eerily quiet on the terrorism front lately, that’s now over. I would be shocked if we made it another six months without multiple attacks tied back to Islamic groups. Some of them will be real and some of them will be staged, and telling which is which will be difficult.
The thing is, wide open borders in the west have made this far more likely and the establishment knows it. In my opinion they WELCOMED IT. If they can get at least one crazy Muslim to shoot up a strip mall or blow up a football stadium, they will have all the leverage they need to con Americans into another ground war in the Middle East. Do we need to “fight them over there so we don’t have to fight them here?” That’s garbage thinking. We should not be letting them over here in the first place.
Europe in particular is playing with fire. National governments and the EU have invited tens-of-millions of these people to their doorsteps and now they face a serious conundrum. There are Sharia Law communities all over Europe, there are millions of military age Muslim men with every opportunity to do great harm. And, there are millions of woke leftists currently cheering them on, thinking that this is some form of “decolonization.”
Closure Of The Strait Of Hormuz, Skyrocketing Oil Prices
I have been warning about this scenario for many years; it was only a matter of time before tensions with Iran gave them a rationale to close the Strait Of Hormuz and shut down 30% of all oil exports from the Middle East to the rest of the world. Keep in mind, Europe is suffering from extensive energy inflation, in part because of the economic crisis and also because of sanctions against Russia.
Biden has been trying to hide inflation by dumping oil from the strategic reserves onto the market, but now those reserves are the lowest they have been since 1983. Conveniently, this happened right before the strike on Israel. Our reserves are depleted as we go to war. Oil prices and gasoline prices will explode if Iran is implicated in the Israel attack. Iran will run a few giant oil tankers into the Hormuz, sink them, and make the strait impassable for months. Don’t be surprised of we see $200 per barrel oil next year, which will translate to around $7 per gallon gas or higher for much of the US.
A Push For A New Draft
Let’s be honest, current US recruitment numbers are a joke and the wokification of our military is making it weaker by the month. No American citizen with a legit warrior mindset or combat aptitude is going to join that circus freak show voluntarily. The establishment will try to regale conservatives and patriots with visions of “fighting the good fight for family and country” but most will not buy in. With attempts to ignite multiple fronts against Russia, China and the Middle East, they will start talking about a new draft system.
My belief is that this will fail miserably and would start a civil war rather than fill the ranks of the Army or Marines, but they may have a scheme to deal with this outcome…
Is This The Real Reason Why US Officials Are Encouraging The Migrant Invasion?
The reality is, America has its own invasion to deal with. During the Bronze Age Collapse certain empires (like Egypt) survived using an odd tactic – Instead of fighting off the invading hordes of refugees, nomads and sea people, they HIRED them and inducted them into important positions within their military. Corrupt authoritarian rulers ultimately found that they faced more of a threat from their own starving peasants than they did from the outsiders, so they joined with them to put down local rebellions.
This might not be as useful in Europe, but in America I wonder if this was the intention all along; to bring in millions of military age foreigners with little sympathy for the existing culture, then in the midst of collapse and conflict offer them automatic citizenship and benefits if they join the military. Not on the small scale the federal government has going today, but on an enormous scale the likes of which we have never seen.
Maybe the plan was always to leave the gates open and allow illegals to stroll in so that they could act as a mercenary contingent to fight in foreign wars or fight against American citizens should rebellion arise…
Plan C
The timing of the conflict in Israel is incredibly beneficial to globalists, and this might explain Israel’s bizarre intel failure. Just as US and British leaders had prior knowledge of a potential Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 but warned no one because they WANTED to compel Americans to fight in WWII, the Palestinian incursion serves a similar purpose.
The covid pandemic and mandates failed to get the desired result of a global medical tyranny. The war in Ukraine failed to get desired results as the warhawks’ demands for boots on the ground against Russia fell apart. Perhaps this is just Plan C?
The establishment seems particularly obsessed with convincing US conservatives and patriots to participate in the chaos; there are a number of Neo-cons and even a few supposed liberty media personalities calling for Americans to answer the call of blood in Israel. Some have described the coming conflagration as “the war to end all wars.”
I believe that the real war is yet to truly start, and that is the war to erase the globalists from existence. They want us to fight overseas in endless quagmires in the hopes we will die out. And when we do, there will be no one left to oppose them. It’s a predictable strategy, but its success is doubtful. Another interesting fact about the Bronze Age Collapse – The elites were some of the first groups to be wiped out after the system broke down.

The So-Called 'Alternative' Media Is Being Taken Over by Imposters, While the World Goes Insane
By Gary D. Barnett
October 13, 2023
“It’s discouraging to think how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit.”
~ Noël Coward
Oh, where to begin? The world is changing continually, and what began as an alternative voice of truth as opposed to the mainstream propaganda and lies, is morphing into a big business, large audience, popularity contest, where money and fame are sought. Invariably, this serves to weaken the honest message in favor of rhetoric, biased personal opinion, and in some instances, is meant for purposeful opposition to the truth, although this is not always the case. There is a fine line in intentionally working against a particular element of truth, and taking sides without clear thought. When one immediately takes sides without consideration of the big picture, the whole truth as it were, is lost, as is all credibility. What is spewed in this state of plotted or emotional opinion, is at once in favor of, whether intentional or not, the real evil. This is happening in a very dangerous situation today, in the so-called “war against Hamas” by Zionist-controlled Israel.
Other than a few sane voices who look at the total picture with consideration of the past 75 years of history, and beyond, most take sides in support of one or the other political faction, and disregard all the real victims of these atrocities being committed. These atrocities by any and every standard and measure, are obviously long-planned, coordinated, allowed to take place, and therefore intentional, in order to advance particular agendas. All attacks and murder of civilians, regardless of so-called sides, are heinous and beyond evil, but not getting to the truth of the matter before allowing feigned emotions or political leanings to interfere with reality, is unacceptable. With mainstream media and now the more mainstream fake ‘alternative’ media, one is presented immediately with sides, reminiscent of the idiocy of; “You are either with us or with the terrorists.” With or against is the mantra, which is so completely wrong from both perspectives. A much deeper look is required in order for sanity to survive.
This essay is not relegated to only the Israeli/Palestinian situation, as this phenomenon of irresponsible reporting, has consumed most all ‘news’ on most of the important issues, whether mainstream or alternative, for many years. But this particular situation reeks of plotted, unintelligent, uninformed, propagandized, and biased news from most every angle. Given the very heated emotions, and unbelievably dangerous implications of this madness, the risk of this bogus media reporting could easily drive this pre-meditated false flag attack to escalate into regional or world war, where an untold number of innocents, mostly civilians, would face horrible deaths.
Already, lines have been drawn, and the murder of innocent civilians is assured, while the perpetrators of this fraud, the governing factions involved, Israeli and Hamas, criminals in fact, sit back in safety, and send others to kill and maim the innocent, without regard for their own or any others. It is incredibly obvious that the Israeli government and Hamas, the same Hamas created and intentionally put into power by the Israeli government and Mossad, are working together, or at least the Israeli ruling class allowed and is using Hamas, in this effort to bring about a major war of maiming, killing, and final destruction of the once Palestinian State. Civilians on both sides are the targets, and the innocent victims are most Israeli and Palestinian citizens, who do not want this, nor did they participate in this planned attack. They are simply the pawns and fodder of these evil governing entities bent on slaughter and control. Never forget the torture and abuse levied against the Israeli citizenry during the fake ‘covid’ scam, and the massive brutality foisted on them by the Israeli government. They were never considered once, but abused beyond imagination, and forced to comply, rendering them to slavery, not completely different than the fate of the Israeli government’s treatment of Palestinians. The normal people, the civilians, are always the main casualty of war and tyranny.
From any studied or sane point of view, this attack by Hamas terrorists, was completely allowed, as evidence not only suggests, but solidifies. Israeli defenses, considered the best in the world, fully control the Gaza Strip, which is walled off completely, but pretended to have no clue as to what was happening, and did not respond for extended periods of time. This is impossible, unless it was a planned attack allowed to take place in order to cause mass death of innocent Israelis in order to bring about a wanted war. (When has this happened before?– 9/11) According to many Israeli military and ex-military, they know every movement 100% of the time. The attackers were allowed to breach the Israeli defense lines, and the results I posit, were exactly what the Israeli ruling class desired.
Some recent quotes might be of great value in understanding the motives of those who take sides without thought, or intentionally, and cause gross harm in the process.
Ron DeSantis: “Israel, with the full support of the United States, should kill Hamas members and extinguish their entire infrastructure.”
Nikki Haley: Urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to “finish them” in an apparent reference to Hamas. “They should have hell to pay for what they’ve just done.”
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.: This ignominious, unprovoked, and barbaric attack on Israel must be met with world condemnation and unequivocal support for the Jewish state’s right to self-defense. We must provide Israel with whatever it needs to defend itself — now. As President, I’ll make sure that our policy is unambiguous so that the enemies of Israel will think long and hard before attempting aggression of any kind. I applaud the strong statements of support from the Biden White House for Israel in her hour of need. However, the scale of these attacks means it is likely that Israel will need to wage a sustained military campaign to protect its citizens. Statements of support are fine, but we must follow through with unwavering, resolute, and practical action. America must stand by our ally throughout this operation and beyond as it exercises its sovereign right to self-defense.
Jordon Peterson: (Fraud and now close confidant to psychopath Benjamin Netanyahu) Tweeted to Netanyahu–“Give ’em hell. Enough is enough.”
There are literally hundreds of examples of politicians and media, including the alternative media, taking sides in this staged and plotted attack. All support should be for all the innocent civilians in Israel and Palestine, not for the nationalistic and murderous Israeli government or Hamas, its counterpart in Palestine.
This is not a war for the defense of Israel, it is a plot of mass murder of innocent men, women, and mostly children, who are held captive behind guarded walls in Gaza. Most all the talking heads have this entire situation wrong, and are helping in the effort to assist an evil ruling class in Israel to ‘finish off,’ and slaughter innocent people who have been abused for decades. The victims will only be the people of Palestine and the people of Israel. The Israel government and its supporting U.S. government and military, will use this opportunity for war and murder, and possibly will seek and instigate a new world war; all to murder an occupied population that has no military of any kind, while the average age of its residents is just 17 years old. It is a land of enslaved children.
The atrocities committed by the Hamas terrorists are evil, and the premeditated and plotted response by the Israeli government is also evil, as they knew what was happening all along, and allowed the carnage. We are witnessing complete lies, propaganda, and long-planned agenda completion, all at the expense of the innocent on both sides. The war against the people in Gaza is a murderous war crime, just as was the attack of Israel by Hamas, so should all the innocent people of Israel and Palestine face even more terror; terror purposely allowed by the Israeli government, and used as a false flag terror event to set up genocide in Palestine?
The U.S. government and its military immediately took sides, and are in full support of more slaughter and murder in the Middle East. This atrocious U.S. government has an agenda as well, so beware the dire consequences of this intentionally manufactured war. Beware the connections being pursued by this country and Israel to implicate Russia and Iran, as that could lead to an apocalyptic conclusion. Remember, all wars are against the people, and indifferent populations will always be the victims of horror. Those in power, are not threatened, as they will always hide from the terror they bring about. Governments never lose in war, but you, all of you, will lose everything; your assets, your lives, and the lives of your family.
This is only about purposely creating war; nothing more. War is the health of the State, but never for the good of the people!
“Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas.”
Benjamin Netanyahu–March 2019 as told to the Likud Party’s members of the Knesset
“False Flag operations by governments are the easiest and quickest way to persuade the population to sacrifice their own in order to achieve goals of the elite.”

The Hamas Attack on Israel Is Puzzling
By Paul Craig Roberts
October 10, 2023
I am being asked about the Israeli-Palestine conflict, which seems to be taking attention away from the Ukraine-Russia conflict. People, by which I mean people who pay attention, are wondering why the Palestinians would attack Israel like this as it provides Netanyahu with an excuse to grab the remaining bits of Palestine and destroy the Gaza strip, thus disposing of the two-state solution by conquest. Who can blame Israel after Palestinians killed Israelis and took hostages?
I have heard the official explanation of Palestinian perfidy, but I don’t have an explanation for the attack. It seems it would have to be more than perfidy. I do agree with readers that it seems a curious thing for Hamas to do as it plays into Israel’s hands. I also agree that there is something else strange about the attack. How did drones and so many rockets, allegedly from Iran, and some say Ukraine, get into the Gaza strip, and how did the Hamas attackers get into Israel?
The Hamas attack has something of 9/11’s flavor. Just as every aspect of the US National Security State failed simultaneously on September 11, 2001, Israel’s security system, including the Iron Dome the US constructed for Israel, simultaneously failed. Mysteriously, the Hamas fighters entered Israel on the ground and through the air and on the sea without being detected. Mysteriously, large quantities of weapons entered Palestine through Israel without being detected. This is too much convenient failure to be believable. It will be interesting to see if anyone in Israel is held accountable for the total security failure. In the US no one was held accountable for the security failures on September 11, which should have told us a lot.
Not knowing, we can but speculate. We have a motive. Israel can now steal the rest of Palestine. Another motive might be that Israel can expand the conflict into a wider war and succeed this time in grabbing the water resources of southern Lebanon. It could even get nastier with Israeli moves against Syria and Iran. Oil prices could go sky high causing world disruption. A victorious war and the end of the Palestinian problem would free Netanyahu from his legal and political problems. There is a lot to think about.
But let’s move on to the security failure that made the attack possible. Why would Netanyahu enable Hamas to attack Israel by standing down Israel security? It seems a nonsensical suggestion, but isn’t as it creates the conditions in which Israel can absorb all that remains of Palestine, just as 9/11 created the conditions for the neoconservatives to launch the wars they had planned in the Middle East.
The difficult question is why would the Palestinians bring on their own destruction by attacking Israel when Hamas has no prospect of defeating Israel? Again, we can only speculate. It could be an Israeli operation from start to finish. Israel infiltrates Hamas, just as the FBI infiltrates Trump supporters and patriotic groups now called domestic terrorists. The Israeli agents play up Israel’s abuse of the Palestinians. Netanyahu helps them along by blowing up the sacred Mosque. The agents come up with an attack plan made possible with weapons from Iran and devices from Iran to jam Israeli security. They go about this carefully, relying on the decades of anger and hurt and the prospect of release from impotence to crowd out Hamas’ reason.
I don’t say these speculations suffice as the explanation. But I would not be surprised if these speculations, if investigated, would prove to be closer to the truth than whatever official narrative emerges.

Russian Views of the Hamas-Israeli Conflict
Based on a report from Moscow by John Helmer
By Paul Craig Roberts
October 13, 2023
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova asked:
“How did it happen that in a year; that’s how much time the operation was being prepared for, then carried out now in a few days, the United States as Israel’s closest ally did not warn about this? They have satellites everywhere, appropriate tracking devices, military bases, including in the region. There are all the possibilities to carry out, not just monitoring, but surveillance — the facts speak for themselves — of all information circulating on American-made equipment (hardware and software). For the whole year of preparing such a large-scale operation, the United States with all the power of its special services did not transmit anything to Israel as intelligence…How did it happen that during the whole year of preparation of the corresponding operation in the Middle East, the United States did not transmit any information to its partners in Israel?”
Moscow security affairs analyst Yevgeny Krutikov says the huge amount of weapons used in Hamas’ attack “could not fall from the sky. How did they get there (Gaza)?”
The publication Vzglyad, a platform for Russian military thinking, published an article that concluded that Hamas’ attack “destroyed the myths around Israel’s defense systems” and achieved for Hamas a more important moral victory than the military success of the attack.
Israel’s support for Ukraine against Russia has caused the Kremlin to rethink its relationship with Israel. Vzglyad reported that the Israeli government has become Russia’s adversary:
“The time has come to take a new position on the Palestinian issue . . . to take a more pro-Palestinian position in the Middle East Conflict. To stand on the side of those who help Russia within the framework of their own interests (Iran, Saudi Arabia) against those who help our enemies. And thereby to send a very clear signal to the world – a signal that Russia will treat its partners exactly as they treat it. To help supporters – and not to act in the interests of opponents.”
It is possible that Israel’s military has been corrupted by too much American money, has been getting by on past successes, and has underestimated the Arabs. Washington is no longer the uni-power in the Middle East. The Russians, Turks, Syrians, Iranians, Saudis, and Hezbollah in Lebanon could all go to the aid of Palestine. Hezbollah alone has twice defeated Israeli invasions of Lebanon. Netanyahu’s invasion of Gaza could put Israel’s existence in jeopardy.
In other words, Netanyahu’s plan to complete the conquest of Palestine could result in Israel’s destruction. On the other hand, the enmity among Muslims could again result in Muslim impotence and Israel’s success.
My initial view was that Hamas’ attack would result in the disappearance of Palestine and no one would interfere. Now I am unsure. Netanyahu could be setting off a wider conflict from which Israel would not emerge a victor and Washington would have to choose between accepting defeat and using nuclear weapons.

THE SILENCE OF THE BEARS – RUSSIA IS REORIENTING TOWARDS THE ARABS
Posted By Editor On October 10, 2023 @ 11:17 pm In Asia-Russia,DwB
By John Helmer, Moscow
Until now Russia has never been so silent in the middle of a Middle Eastern war.
Russian opinion pollsters are reluctant to reveal how far the country’s public opinion is moving away from Israel towards the Palestinians and the anti-American Arab and Iranian side.
The silence from the Kremlin reveals how thoroughly the Israelis have burned their bridges to President Vladimir Putin, and how far, if silently, the Russian President has moved to the side of the General Staff in their assessment of Israel as hostile – on the enemy front with the Ukraine, the US and NATO. Putin’s pro-semitism, on display in his relationship with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for several years [3], is now impossible in public, also in private.
The Russian money which has moved easily between Moscow and Tel Aviv and exercised its influence on Putin’s dealings with the Israelis, is now fleeing back to Moscow with the oligarch, Mikhail Fridman [4]. About Fridman’s flight to safe haven in Russia, the Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, has said [5]: “Fridman is a citizen of the Russian Federation. He can come back, live here, leave here, just like any other citizen of the Russian Federation. There is nothing unusual.”
About that, the Speaker of the Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, said something more unusual [6]. “Anyone who left the country and engaged in reprehensible acts, celebrating gunfire on Russian territory and wishing victory to the Nazi Kiev regime, should realize they are not only unwelcome here, but if they do return, Magadan [the gulag] is waiting for them.”
From a policy [7] of equivalence and equivocation between Israel and the Arabs, Russia has reached the policy of engagement on the Arab side. The driver has been the US war to defeat and destroy Russia through the Ukraine. The longer the new Palestinian war lasts, the more clearly Russian military and political strategy in the Middle East will pursue a new anti-American line. The consequences are as great as the defeat of the US and NATO which Russia is now inflicting in Europe, and of the western sanctions war in the global commodity markets and the trading lanes at sea [8].
“We are witnessing a sharp deterioration of the situation in the Middle East,” Putin said [9] in his public welcome for Iraq’s prime minister, Muhammed Shia al-Sudani, at the Kremlin on Tuesday morning. “I think that many will agree with me that this is a clear example of the United States’ failed policy in the Middle East, which tried to monopolise the settlement process, but, unfortunately, was not concerned with finding compromises acceptable to both sides, but, on the contrary, put forward its own ideas about how this should be done and put pressure on both sides, truly both — first on one, then on the other. But each time without considering the fundamental interests of the Palestinian people, bearing in mind, first of all, the need to implement the decision of the UN Security Council on the creation of an independent, sovereign Palestinian state.”
The Foreign Ministry followed Putin later in the afternoon, when the regular weekly briefing by Maria Zakharova was advanced several days early in order to report there have been direct negotiations with the leaders of Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, the Arab League, Iran, and Turkey – not with Israel.”*
“The US bet on the ‘freezing’ of the status quo and the promotion of ‘economic peace’, as well as the use of collective formats tailored for crisis response, has not justified itself,” Zakharova said. “Everyone sees the result…The statements of American politicians and public figures calling for ethnic cleansing in the region look monstrous. They openly call for one group of people [to be] near-doomed to complete destruction. Once again, aggression, violation of the rule of law, and the caveman’s hatred have emerged on the surface of the American declarations of good looks and human rights dogmas.”
In the first direct Russian warning [10] to the US Navy force in the Eastern Mediterranean, Zakharova added: “So far we see that the situation is developing along the path of escalation. There is a great risk of involving third forces in this conflict. And this is fraught with long-term consequences for the region and for the world.”
Putin followed in the evening on the telephone with the Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. “The need for an immediate ceasefire by both sides and the resumption of the negotiation process was emphasised,” according to the Kremlin’s communiqué [11]. “Mutual readiness to actively contribute to this was expressed…Separate issues of Russian-Turkish cooperation in various fields were also touched upon.”
Erdogan’s press release [12] was more revealing. He and Putin had “touched upon what initiatives can be taken to meet humanitarian needs in the region, as the Turkish president told Putin that targeting civilian settlements is worrying and Türkiye does not welcome such move.” Erdogan’s twitter announcement [13] adds: “President Erdoğan and President Putin of Russia also exchanged views on potential initiatives to meet humanitarian needs in the region.”
This is a hint that Erdogan and Putin are contemplating a Turkish ship convoy of aid to Gaza, protected from Israeli attack by the Russian Navy from its Tartous base on the Syrian coast, and by the Russian Air Force from Hmeimim. This humanitarian operation by sea would aim at breaking the blockade of the coast by the Israelis, and running the gauntlet of the USS Gerald Ford and its squadron further offshore. If this operation, a reminder of the Gaza Flotilla of 2010 [14], is in planning now – the open signals are warning Washington and the US Navy to expect it – then the confrontation, and the risk to the US and Israel of strategic defeat at sea, are unprecedented.
The planning of Russian military protection of seaborne humanitarian aid convoys to the Gaza also extends to Egypt.
This was touched on in the conversation [15] which Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry had with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. That was followed by Egyptian press disclosure [16] of Israeli warnings, following by bombings, to stop Egyptian trucks delivering aid into Gaza across the Rafah land bridge at the southern end of Gaza.
https://johnhelmer.net/wp-content/webpc-...&nocache=1
An alternative Egyptian option is a naval convoy. If this will be coordinated through the Kremlin and the Russian Defense Ministry with an Erdogan-Putin plan of a Turkish convoy sailing from the north, the escalation to regional and superpower level will have materialised before the Israeli invasion of Gaza can preempt it.
The Russian Defense Ministry has not been silent towards Israel in the past. Since the ambush by the Israel Air Force of the Russian Il-20 surveillance aircraft, and the killing of its 15-man crew in September 2018, the General Staff has said [18] it has been reserving its moves against the Israelis while identifying them as the enemy.
Vzglyad, the Moscow platform for Russian military and security thinking, editorialised on April 17, 2023 [19], that in siding with the Ukraine during the Special Military Operation, the Israeli government had become Russia’s adversary: “The time has come to take a new position on the Palestinian issue. To take the celebration of Al-Quds Day to a new level, as well as to take a more pro-Palestinian position in the Middle East conflict. To stand on the side of those who help Russia within the framework of their own interests (Iran, Saudi Arabia) against those who help our enemies. And thereby to send a very clear signal to the world – a signal that Russia will treat its partners exactly as they treat it. To help supporters – and not to act in the interests of opponents.”
The creation of a humanitarian corridor was explicitly mentioned in the Foreign Ministry briefing on Tuesday [20]. “Tensions are rising in the West Bank of the Jordan River. There are high risks of the conflict spreading to the area of the Lebanese-Israeli border and drawing new parties into it. A large-scale humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding before our eyes. The main thing now is to cease fire and stop the bloodshed. We support the efforts of interested parties aimed at solving this priority task. This would make it possible to avoid new victims, end the suffering of the civilian population, ensure its evacuation through humanitarian corridors and prevent the situation from sliding into a region-wide humanitarian catastrophe. This is not just a crisis or an emergency. We are talking about the fate of millions of people.”
Spokesman Zakharova also struck at the CIA and the Pentagon for their surprise defeat by Hamas. “How did it happen that in a year; that’s how much time the operation was being prepared for, then carried out now in a few days, the United States as Israel’s closest ally did not warn about this? They have satellites everywhere, appropriate tracking devices, military bases, including in the region. There are all the possibilities to carry out, not just monitoring, but surveillance — the facts speak for themselves — of all information circulating on American-made equipment (hardware and software). For the whole year of preparing such a large-scale operation, the United States with all the power of its special services did not transmit anything to Israel as intelligence…How did it happen that during the whole year of preparation of the corresponding operation in the Middle East, the United States did not transmit any information to its partners in Israel?”
By contrast, the Foreign Ministry spokesman said, “for two months at the end of 2021 and two months at the beginning of 2022, the United States at all levels told how Russia would ‘attack’ Ukraine. This was done specifically to create an information backdrop in order to divert the eyes of the whole world from how, for all these years, the United States and their NATO colleagues (primarily the United Kingdom) have been pumping Ukraine with weapons and creating the anti-Russia project, an anti-Russian springboard…After the corresponding instruction from Washington, a multiple increase in the shelling of Donbass by the regime of V.A. Zelensky followed. Then, in late 2021-early 2022, the US ‘knew everything’ and told everyone. But in the area of their direct responsibility — the Middle East has always been one of them — in relation to the closest ally over which the American protectorate is carried out, the US special services, the State Department and the White House did not transmit any information necessary for self-defence.”
The first public indication of how Russian military intelligence and the General Staff assessed what had happened surfaced in Vzglyad [21] on Sunday.

“Those who were previously perceived as peasants in woven slippers, capable at best of blowing up a bus stop, destroyed one of the myths about the state of Israel in a few hours,” Yevgeny Krutikov concluded [21] after itemizing the weaknesses of Israel’s defence lines, over-confidence in its technology, and under-estimation of Arab capabilities. “The IDF [Israel Defence Forces] was in a coma…Thus, Israel has suffered losses more important than just tragic losses in manpower and equipment. The Palestinian attack has destroyed the idea of how the Israeli security forces are organised and how capable they are. It has turned out that the Israeli security forces rest on the laurels of the victories of past generations. Intelligence and counterintelligence are ineffective, and the Israeli military has been asleep through the changes in combat tactics taking place during the contemporary conflicts right now.”
In a personal Telegram post, Krutikov spelled out the consensus of Russian military staff thinking at present: “1. The IDF and the Mossad were completely unprepared. There is no primary protection system, the garrisons of the border posts were fast asleep on Saturday on the [Simchat Torah religious] holiday. The Arabs on foot, slowly, reached the unguarded positions of the Jews. The very idea of these posts was nonsense. 2. They don’t know what drones, air defence systems and all of this are at all. The Iron Dome is a fiction. They’ve been living in some kind of fantasy world for the last few years.3. Everything about Israel is a myth. There is no such defence system, there is no such intelligence. Their PR is solid. 4. Either the Arabs were trained in a special way, or they somehow unexpectedly evolved into a new form of life. The operation was planned for at least a year, taking into account all the new trends…5. A huge amount of weapons from the Arabs could not fall from the sky. How did it get there? again, we convey our warmest greetings to the Israeli mother of intelligence. 6. Tactical training is completely absent. As well as the vaunted patriotism. 7. Exceptional cruelty is a sign not only of this region. God is dead, including the Jewish God. 8. Where else will catch fire?”
In a last line intended to be an ironic echo of the Orthodox Jewish belief in the apocalypse, Krutikov wrote [23]: “Truly, the last days are coming.”
The reporter, who has served in the field as a GRU officer, reported [21] in Vzglyad on Sunday: “It is clear that Israel is technologically stronger. If it follows that, sooner or later, such a degree of destruction of Gaza will be achieved, that Tel Aviv will be able to call a victory, nevertheless the Arabs have already achieved the main thing: they have destroyed the myths around Israel’s defence systems, and this moral victory is much more important than the purely military counterattack that the Jewish state is now organizing against them. Furthermore, the events of these days may reshape the entire military-political structure of the Middle East, and lead to the emergence of new alliances and new front lines. Against the background of all other world events, this is almost the most terrible thing that could happen.”
Late on Tuesday, US time, a NATO veteran of the Afghan war cast doubt on what the Israeli offensive will be able to achieve in Gaza.
[24]
“The Israelis don’t have the staying power to dig through, let alone occupy, Fort Gaza. Now, thanks to the bombing, they’ve turned it into a giant improved defence complex. It’s sure to be laced with tunnels and other underground workings well-stocked with food, water, medical supplies, weapons, ammunition, etc. We can bet those workings crisscross the border with Egypt. We can also bet that, no matter how nervous General Sisi [President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, right], there is certainly Egyptian support where it counts now.”
“The Israelis are said to be mobilising 300,000 reservists. How long can such a mobilisation last before it tells on the country’s economy? The US, after nearly exhausting its arms stocks, and a great deal of treasure, on the war against Russia via the Ukraine, has little to show for it. How will ‘giving Israel all it needs’ to slog through the ruins of the Gazan death trap work out any better?”
“All of this goes without counting what the Russians, Turks, Iranians, Lebanese in the form of Hezbollah, and others, may do. If the Russians launch a blockade-busting run with the Turks, will the Americans and Israelis risk a nuclear exchange trying to stop them?”
[*]Late on Tuesday evening in Moscow, the Israeli ambassador to Russia, Alexander Ben Zvi, was admitted on his request to an interview with Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov at the latter’s reception room at the ministry. The Russian communiqué [25] indicates the Israeli official was warned the proposed IDF plan to destroy Gaza, occupy the territory, and cleanse it of “human animals [25]” -- was “fraught…with the most devastating consequences for the humanitarian situation in the region [26].” The Israeli press has not reported Bogdanov’s warning to Ben Zvi; the Israeli had been telling Tass hours earlier: “when we declared a state of war with Hamas, we meant that the state of war implies everything, including a ground operation," Ben Zvi said [27]. "When will it begin? Right now certain work is being done so as not to make any hasty steps. It is necessary, of course, to analyze things thoroughly. What is needed? How should it be done? I cannot rule out that it will not happen, either. It is possible that it will happen. I don't know, it is to be decided at the army level.” He then told [28] a meeting with Moscow Jews that Israel is not targeting all the Palestinians of Gaza: “this war will continue as long as Hamas exists as a terrorist organization, and we will have to pay with more and more casualties. In order to prevent this, we need to destroy all these terrorist cells of Hamas.”

The Geopolitics of Al-Aqsa Flood
Global focus just shifted from Ukraine to Palestine. This new arena of confrontation will ignite further competition between the Atlanticist and Eurasian blocs. These fights are increasingly zero-sum ones; as in Ukraine, only one pole can emerge strengthened and victorious.
By Pepe Escobar
October 14, 2023
Hamas’ Operation Al-Aqsa Flood was meticulously planned. The launch date was conditioned by two triggering factors.
First was Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flaunting his ‘New Middle East’ map at the UN General Assembly in September, in which he completely erased Palestine and made a mockery of every single UN resolution on the subject.
Second are the serial provocations at the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, including the straw that broke the camel’s back: two days before Al-Aqsa Flood, on 5 October, at least 800 Israeli settlers launched an assault around the mosque, beating pilgrims, destroying Palestinian shops, all under the observation of Israeli security forces.
Everyone with a functioning brain knows Al-Aqsa is a definitive red line, not just for Palestinians, but for the entire Arab and Muslim worlds.
It gets worse. The Israelis have now invoked the rhetoric of a “Pearl Harbor.” This is as threatening as it gets. The original Pearl Harbor was the American excuse to enter a world war and nuke Japan, and this “Pearl Harbor” may be Tel Aviv’s justification to launch a Gaza genocide.
Sections of the west applauding the upcoming ethnic cleansing – including Zionists posing as “analysts” saying out loud that the “population transfers” that began in 1948 “must be completed” – believe that with massive weaponry and massive media coverage, they can turn things around in short shrift, annihilate the Palestinian resistance, and leave Hamas allies like Hezbollah and Iran weakened.
Their Ukraine Project has sputtered, leaving not just egg on powerful faces, but entire European economies in ruin. Yet as one door closes, another one opens: Jump from ally Ukraine to ally Israel, and hone your sights on adversary Iran instead of adversary Russia.
There are other good reasons to go all guns blazing. A peaceful West Asia means Syria reconstruction – in which China is now officially involved; active redevelopment for Iraq and Lebanon; Iran and Saudi Arabia as part of BRICS 11; the Russia-China strategic partnership fully respected and interacting with all regional players, including key US allies in the Persian Gulf.
Incompetence. Willful strategy. Or both.
That brings us to the cost of launching this new “war on terror.” The propaganda is in full swing. For Netanyahu in Tel Aviv, Hamas is ISIS. For Volodymyr Zelensky in Kiev, Hamas is Russia. Over one October weekend, the war in Ukraine was completely forgotten by western mainstream media. Brandenburg Gate, the Eiffel tower, the Brazilian Senate are all Israeli now.
Egyptian intel claims it warned Tel Aviv about an imminent attack from Hamas. The Israelis chose to ignore it, as they did the Hamas training drills they observed in the weeks prior, smug in their superior knowledge that Palestinians would never have the audacity to launch a liberation operation.
Whatever happens next, Al-Aqsa Flood has already, irretrievably, shattered the hefty pop mythology around the invincibility of Tsahal, Mossad, Shin Bet, Merkava tank, Iron Dome, and the Israel Defense Forces.
Even as it ditched electronic communications, Hamas profited from the glaring collapse of Israel’s multi-billion-dollar electronic systems monitoring the most surveilled border on the planet.
Cheap Palestinian drones hit multiple sensor towers, facilitated the advance of a paragliding infantry, and cleared the way for T-shirted, AK-47-wielding assault teams to inflict breaks in the wall and cross a border that even stray cats dared not.
Israel, inevitably, turned to battering the Gaza Strip, an encircled cage of 365 square kilometers packed with 2.3 million people. The indiscriminate bombing of refugee camps, schools, civilian apartment blocks, mosques, and slums has begun. Palestinians have no navy, no air force, no artillery units, no armored fighting vehicles, and no professional army. They have little to no high-tech surveillance access, while Israel can call up NATO data if they want it.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant proclaimed “a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed. We are fighting human animals and we will act accordingly.”
The Israelis can merrily engage in collective punishment because, with three guaranteed UNSC vetoes in their back pocket, they know they can get away with it.
It doesn’t matter that Haaretz, Israel’s most respected newspaper, straight out concedes that “actually the Israeli government is solely responsible for what happened (Al-Aqsa Flood) for denying the rights of Palestinians.”
The Israelis are nothing if not consistent. Back in 2007, then-Israeli Defense Intelligence Chief Amos Yadlin said, “Israel would be happy if Hamas took over Gaza because IDF could then deal with Gaza as a hostile state.”
Ukraine funnels weapons to Palestinians
Only one year ago, the sweaty sweatshirt comedian in Kiev was talking about turning Ukraine into a “big Israel,” and was duly applauded by a bunch of Atlantic Council bots.
Well, it turned out quite differently. As an old-school Deep State source just informed me:
“Ukraine-earmarked weapons are ending up in the hands of the Palestinians. The question is which country is paying for it. Iran just made a deal with the US for six billion dollars and it is unlikely Iran would jeopardize that. I have a source who gave me the name of the country but I cannot reveal it. The fact is that Ukrainian weapons are going to the Gaza Strip and they are being paid for but not by Iran.”
After its stunning raid last weekend, a savvy Hamas has already secured more negotiating leverage than Palestinians have wielded in decades. Significantly, while peace talks are supported by China, Russia, Turkiye, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt – Tel Aviv refuses. Netanyahu is obsessed with razing Gaza to the ground, but if that happens, a wider regional war is nearly inevitable.
Lebanon’s Hezbollah – a staunch Resistance Axis ally of the Palestinian resistance – would rather not be dragged into a war that can be devastating on its side of the border, but that could change if Israel perpetrates a de facto Gaza genocide.
Hezbollah holds at least 100,000 ballistic missiles and rockets, from Katyusha (range: 40 km) to Fajr-5 (75 km), Khaibar-1 (100 km), Zelzal 2 (210 km), Fateh-110 (300 km), and Scud B-C (500 km). Tel Aviv knows what that means, and shudders at the frequent warnings by Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah that its next war with Israel will be conducted inside that country.
Which brings us to Iran.
Geopolitical plausible deniability
The key immediate consequence of Al-Aqsa Flood is that the Washington neocon wet dream of “normalization” between Israel and the Arab world will simply vanish if this turns into a Long War.
Large swathes of the Arab world in fact are already normalizing their ties with Tehran – and not only inside the newly expanded BRICS 11.
In the drive towards a multipolar world, represented by BRICS 11, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), and China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), among other groundbreaking Eurasian and Global South institutions, there’s simply no place for an ethnocentric Apartheid state fond of collective punishment.
Just this year, Israel found itself disinvited from the African Union summit. An Israeli delegation showed up anyway, and was unceremoniously ejected from the big hall, a visual that went viral. At the UN plenary sessions last month, a lone Israeli diplomat sought to disrupt Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi’s speech. No western ally stood by his side, and he too, was ejected from the premises.
As Chinese President Xi Jinping diplomatically put it in December 2022, Beijing “firmly supports the establishment of an independent state of Palestine that enjoys full sovereignty based on 1967 borders and with East Jerusalem as its capital. China supports Palestine in becoming a full member of the United Nations.”
Tehran’s strategy is way more ambitious – offering strategic advice to West Asian resistance movements from the Levant to the Persian Gulf: Hezbollah, Ansarallah, Hashd al-Shaabi, Kataib Hezbollah, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and countless others. It’s as if they are all part of a new Grand Chessboard de facto supervised by Grandmaster Iran.
The pieces in the chessboard were carefully positioned by none other than the late Quds Force Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps General Qassem Soleimani, a once-in-a-lifetime military genius. He was instrumental in creating the foundations for the cumulative successes of Iranian allies in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Palestine, as well as creating the conditions for a complex operation such as Al-Aqsa Flood.
Elsewhere in the region, the Atlanticist drive of opening strategic corridors across the Five Seas – the Caspian, the Black Sea, the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf, and the Eastern Mediterranean – is floundering badly.
Russia and Iran are already smashing US designs in the Caspian – via the International North-South Transportation Corridor (INSTC) – and the Black Sea, which is on the way to becoming a Russian lake. Tehran is paying very close attention to Moscow’s strategy in Ukraine, even as it refines its own strategy on how to debilitate the Hegemon without direct involvement: call it geopolitical plausible deniability.
Bye bye EU-Israel-Saudi-India corridor
The Russia-China-Iran alliance has been demonized as the new “axis of evil” by western neocons. That infantile rage betrays cosmic impotence. These are Real Sovereigns that can’t be messed with, and if they are, the price to pay is unthinkable.
A key example: if Iran under attack by a US-Israeli axis decided to block the Strait of Hormuz, the global energy crisis would skyrocket, and the collapse of the western economy under the weight of quadrillions of derivatives would be inevitable.
What this means, in the immediate future, is that he American Dream of interfering across the Five Seas does not even qualify as a mirage. Al-Aqsa Flood has also just buried the recently-announced and much-ballyhooed EU-Israel-Saudi Arabia-India transportation corridor.
China is keenly aware of all this incandescence taking place only a week before its 3rd Belt and Road Forum in Beijing. At stake are the BRI connectivity corridors that matter – across the Heartland, across Russia, plus the Maritime Silk Road and the Arctic Silk Road.
Then there’s the INSTC linking Russia, Iran and India – and by ancillary extension, the Gulf monarchies.
The geopolitical repercussions of Al-Aqsa Flood will speed up Russia, China and Iran’s interconnected geoeconomic and logistical connections, bypassing the Hegemon and its Empire of Bases. Increased trade and non-stop cargo movement are all about (good) business. On equal terms, with mutual respect – not exactly the War Party’s scenario for a destabilized West Asia.
Oh, the things that a slow-moving paragliding infantry overflying a wall can accelerate.

The Split in Israel and The War of Al-Aqsa
Moon of Alabama
October 14, 2023
What is the reason for the ‘Al-Aqsa Deluge’, as Hamas had named its terror operation against the Zionists?
On October 8 Alastair Crooke, one of most experienced Middle East hands, wrote in AlMahadeen:
“Israel” has shattered into two equally weighted factions holding to two irreconcilable visions of “Israel’s” future; two mutually opposing readings of history and of what it means to be Jewish.
The fissure could not be more complete. Except it is. One faction, which holds a majority in parliament, is broadly Mizrahi — a former underclass in Israeli society; and the other, largely well-to-do liberal Ashkenazi.
Mizrahi are mostly the original Middle Eastern Jews and often on the religious far right, Ashkenazi are mostly liberal European ones. The current Netanyahoo government is the first which includes far-right Mizrahi ministers.
Most Mizrahi follow the Sephardi religious rites. They want an religious state based on Jewish law. They are as radial as ISIS.
The high court of Israel has 14 Ashkenazi judges and one Mizrahi one. It is one of the reasons why the Netanyahoo government wants the parliament to be able to vote down high court judgements. There have been large, U.S. sponsored ‘regime change’ protests in Israel against that move. The leaders of the military and security services, mostly Ashkenazi, have also opposed the government move against the court.
I therefore think that it is quite possible that there was intelligence pointing to the Hamas attack, but that it was not revealed to let Netanyahoo fall into a trap. We have however no evidence that there were reasonably precise intelligence warnings, or that they were held up.
There are already demands for Netanyahoo to go. If only for his long term sponsoring of Hamas as a counterweight to the more secular Fatah Palestinians. Should he no longer be prime minister the courts will take up the three bribe cases against him which are currently pending. He would likely end up in jail.
Another reason for Hamas’ success was the fact that three of the four infantry battalions, with 800 soldiers each, that usually guard the Gaza strip, had been moved to the West Bank to protect right-wing Zionist settlers during a religious holiday. This allowed for Hamas’ easy breach of the fence.
Back to Alastair Crooke on the real motive of the Al-Aqsa flood:
Well, the Right in Netanyahu’s government has two long-standing commitments. One is to rebuild the (Jewish) Temple on ‘Temple Mount’ (Haram al-Shariff).
Just to be clear, that would entail demolishing Al-Aqsa.
The second overriding commitment is to the founding of “Israel”, on the “Land of Israel”. And again, to be clear, this (in their view) would entail clearing Palestinians from the West Bank. Indeed, the settlers have been cleansing Palestinians from swaths of the West Bank over the past year (notably between Ramallah and Jericho).
On Thursday morning (two days preceding Al-Aqsa Flood), more than 800 settlers stormed the Mosque Compound, under the full protection of Israeli forces. The drumbeat of such provocations is rising.
This is nothing new. The First Intifada was triggered by (then) PM Sharon making a provocative visit into the mosque. I was a part of Senator George Mitchell’s Presidential Committee investigating that incident. Even then, it was clear that Sharon intended the visit to fuel the fire of religious nationalism. At that time, the Temple Mount Movement was a minnow; today it has ministers in Cabinet and in key security positions — and has promised its followers to build the ‘Third Temple’.
So, the threat to Al-Aqsa has been building for two decades, and today is reaching an apex. And yet US and Israeli intelligence didn’t see resistance coming, and nor did they see the settler violence building in the West Bank?
What happened on Saturday was widely expected and clearly extensively planned.
There is by the way no archaeologic evidence, none, that a Jewish ‘Temple’ ever existed in Jerusalem. If it did, it was most likely not on the hill of Al-Aqsa but one of the six other ones.
Al-Aqsa is holy to all Muslims, Shia and Sunni alike. Its destruction would inevitably lead to war. The West is clearly underestimating what forces calls like this one can rise:

Friday sermon from the Grand Mosque in Mecca prays for the “liberation of Al-Aqsa Mosque” in Jerusalem.
This is significant for two reasons:
• Audience of 2 billion Muslims.
• Such sermons have been significantly censored under MBS. Today’s sermon was likely pre-approved.

Israel has used White Phosphorus on the people in Gaza, another war crime. Israel has given all people in north Gaza, 1.1 million human beings, 24 hours to move to south Gaza. That is impossible and will not happen. It is an attempt of ethnic cleansing.
Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz – 10:52 UTC · Oct 13, 2023
If there were two million Jewish people trapped by Christians in a giant open-air prison and placed under total siege, being told that half of them had 24 hours to relocate into the other half or be killed, nobody would have any confusion about what they were witnessing.
If Israel makes, as announced, a ground attack on Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon is likely to attack Israel. The U.S. has allegedly let Syria know (via France) that Damascus, and President Assad personally, would be attacked if that were to happen. This is a miscalculation. It is far from certain that Assad, or even Iran, has the means to hold Hezbollah back.
A U.S. attack on the government of Syria would bring Russia into the war. Iran would also respond which is exactly what some of the neocons want.
The war could easily escalate further from there.

Israel Gives Itself Permission to Exterminate 2 Million Palestinians (West Applauds)
Henry Makow
"Israel has a right to defend itself" - People who say this are justifying genocide. Israel has already exacted revenge. Time for a ceasefire. The Hamas attack was contrived by Netanyahu to justify ethnic cleansing.
Israelis should Lay the blame where it belongs -on Netanyahu. Obviously, he deliberately sacrificed 1,000 innocent Israelis. His hate-filled policies drove Palestinians to this desperate and deplorable act.
Gaza 'will soon be a tent city' says Israeli official as IDF launches 250 airstrikes in one hour into 'Nest of Terror' and 'infantry, artillery and 300,000 reservists' mass on the border 'ready to execute' ground offensive
An Israeli defense official told Channel 13 News that Gaza will become a 'tent city', as the country's defense minister said he has 'released all restraints.' It comes as IDF spokesperson said troops and artillery are close to Gaza in preparation for a ground invasion 'to execute the mission we have been given.'

Israel is convinced greater levels of violence will finally crush Palestinian aspirations; it is mistaken.
Israel's response to these armed incursions will be a genocidal assault on Gaza. Israel will kill dozens of Palestinians for every Israeli killed. Hundreds of Palestinians have already died in Israel air assaults since the launch of "Operation Al-Aqsa Flood" on Saturday morning, which left 700 Israelis dead. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Palestinians in Gaza on Sunday to "leave now," because Israel is going to "turn all Hamas hiding places into rubble."
But where are Palestinians in Gaza supposed to go? Israel and Egypt blockade the land borders. There is no exit by air or sea, which are controlled by Israel.
What Does Israel Expect? Israel is convinced greater levels of violence will finally crush Palestinian aspirations; it is mistaken.

https://informationclearinghouse.blog/20...el-expect/
The indiscriminate shootings of Israelis by Hamas and other Palestinian resistance organizations, the kidnapping of civilians, the barrage of rockets into Israel, and drone attacks on a variety of targets from tanks to automated machine gun nests, are the familiar language of the Israeli occupier. Israel has spoken this blood-soaked language of violence to the Palestinians since Zionist militias seized more than 78% of historic Palestine, destroyed some 530 Palestinian villages and cities, and killed about 15,000 Palestinians in more than 70 massacres. Some 750,000 Palestinians were ethnically cleansed between 1947 and 1949 to create the state of Israel in 1948.

Palestinians are being massacred by Israel after the Al-Aqsa Flood uprising that began on October 7, with bombs hitting apartment buildings and ambulances, fuel running out, and Israel blockading food, water, and aid from the Gaza Strip -- announced by Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant as treatment for "human animals." Meanwhile, Western media is pushing the narrative that presents Israelis as victims rather than the long-besieged Palestinians. What is the root of this war?

Putin blames US for Middle East violence
Palestinians need a nation-state so their interests are respected, the Russian president has said
https://www.rt.com/russia/584550-putin-i...e-failure/?
"I believe many would agree with me that it is a glaring example of the failures of the US Middle East policies. They tried to monopolize the peace settlement, but unfortunately paid no attention to searching for compromises that would be acceptable for both parties," the Russian leader explained on Tuesday.
Instead, Washington put pressure on both sides in an attempt to impose its own solutions on them, he added. The US "never took into account the core interests of the Palestinian people," Putin claimed. Those interests primarily involve the creation of an independent Palestinian nation state, as outlined in UN Security Council resolutions, he noted.
rt said (October 13, 2023):
Our satanic judeo-masonic Illuminati globalist rulers apparently are not interested in any population growth management that does not involve the mass slaughter of humanity. After all, the ultimate goal of satanism is to exterminate humanity. Unfortunately, there is not yet and may never be any viable opposition to that satanic goal since, in particular, Christianity is a sheeple-oriented religion of self-enslavement to their chosen Jew masters ( all of whom are covert Satanists).

Friday Oct 13 - Gaza Could Morph Into Jewish-Muslim Violence in West
Henry Makow
Does Israel and its supporters expect the world's two billion Muslims to sit on their hands while Israel massacres two million Palestinians?
Hamas leader called for a worldwide "Day of Rage" today including a threat of violence against Jews living abroad.
France has banned pro-Palestinian demonstrations. Muslims make up 10% of France's population. Muslim kills teacher yesterday.
Israel has already exacted its revenge. At least 1,537 Palestinians - including 500 children and 276 women - have been killed and 6,612 wounded in Israeli air strikes on Gaza.
They had no role in Hamas atrocities. The principle of collective punishment will rebound on people who exercise it.
The world must demand a cease-fire immediately. Hamas does not represent Palestinians in Gaza any more than Netanyahu represents all Israelis. Netanyahu allowed the massacre of Israelis to take place in order to justify the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza. Zionists built Israel on the sacrifice of Jews in the Holocaust.
Two million people are being carpet-bombed. They have no food! No water! No electricity! Please watch this SKY-TV video to see what life is like for them. This is a humanitarian disaster. Israel is preparing a ground invasion. Iran is warning, there will be a response.
Jews are interpreting support for these beleaguered people as antisemitism. "They want our people dead," one Jewish student sobbed. Jews need to reach out to Muslims and together demand a cease-fire and a two-state solution.

The Iranian Guards will support Hezbollah against Israel
According to Russian sources, Iran may enter into an armed confrontation with Israel on the side of the Shiite movement Hezbollah in the framework of a joint operation. Thus, a significant territorial expansion of the conflict that has erupted in the Middle East cannot be ruled out.
So far, Iran has refrained from directly participating in hostilities, limiting itself to a humanitarian mission. Tehran, together with Cairo, organized the provision of aid to the Gaza Strip, mainly medicine and food.

I might as well go ahead and tick off evangelicals right at the beginning of this column, because it won't get any easier as this column goes on.
God has NO future plans for national Israel. ZERO! ZILCH! NADA! NONE! National Israel was buried in the ashes of Jerusalem's destruction in 70 AD. It is gone FOREVER! The Bible nowhere predicts a future national Israel."
WARNING!!! GAZA SCHEDULED TO BE LAHAINA-ED

"It seems everyone is referring to Israel's latest lawn-mowing operation as the rogue state's 9/11. If they mean it was planned and implemented by the Mossad [as was America's 9/11]- I would agree. But I also see a distinct similarity to Maui's Lahaina-but on a much larger scale [2 million Gaza citizens]. Bibi has already announced that Gaza is going to be-razed to the ground-Perhaps Lahaina was just a beta test-for Israel's DEW weapons and humanity's gullibility [or cowardice]?

Oct 14 - International Backlash Against Israel is Growing
Henry Makow
https://snippits-and-slappits.blogspot.com/
Snippets and Snappets' Barbara -"Something has changed on a fundamental publishing level at the international cartoon level. Most international sites have bored me for a while because they were so in lockstep with the Communist agenda; many have come out heavily in favor of Palestine. There are usually plenty of these favorable pieces but this is different. Many are showing more anti-Israel bias than usual. And pro-Hamas. It just feels different."
Watching BBC News coverage of Gaza, I almost fell off the couch. It was objective! And sympathetic to the beleaguered Palestinians. This told me that the Communist (Soros-Rothschild) wing of Freemasonry is not going to support Israel's genocidal war on Gaza.
Organized Jewry (Freemasonry) controls political discourse by pitting the looney Left (Communism) against the conservative right (Zionism.) The forces of the Looney Left are lining up behind the Palestinians and representing truth and justice for the first time in their career. The Jewish promotion of multiculturalism is backfiring on Jews as immigrants refuse to accept Zionist narratives.

INSIDER: ISRAEL ATTACK WAS 'FALSE FLAG' TO START 'HOLY WAR' AND USHER IN 'ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT'
https://www.bitchute.com/video/4grhE6e8fGI1/
The Hamas attack on Israel was an "inside job" by the globalist elite working in tandem with the Biden administration and the Israeli government as part of the great masterplan for World War 3 - which has been in the works since the state of Israel was created after World War 2.
According to an insider, the terrorists were funded and armed by the Biden administration in the build-up to the attack, and Israeli defence and intelligence services agreed to stand down and look the other way when the attack was launched.
According to the official, the Israeli "false flag" will light the fuse to ignite a "holy war" that will spiral out of control and lay the groundwork for the elite to usher in a "one world government" and "one world religion."

David Livingstone- Globalists & the Creation of the Wahhabi/Hamas Terrorism
Henry Makow
"The Globalists have had a hand in shaping and financing all the terrorist organizations of the twentieth century, including the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt, the Hamas of Palestine, and the Afghan Mujahideen. But the history of their duplicity dates farther back still, to the eighteenth century, when British Freemasons created the Wahhabi sect of Saudi Arabia itself, to further their imperialistic objectives by dividing and conquering its targets."
from Aug 25, 2004
by David Livingstone
(henrymakow.com)
Following the dictates of the Hegelian dialectic, the Globalists have created two antagonizing forces, the "Liberal-Democratic" Zionist West, against Terrorism, or "political Islam", to force us into the acceptance of their final alternative, a New World Order.
The West and Islam have had a long era of compatibility, but this history has been denied to foster the myth of a "Clash of Civilizations". In order to inflame the sentiments of the West against Islam, our attention has been focused on the specter of fanatical Wahhabism, and more specifically, its most notorious exponent, Ossama bin Laden.
However, as outlined in an excellent article by Peter Goodgame, "The Globalists and the Islamists" the Globalists have had a hand in shaping and financing all the terrorist organizations of the twentieth century, including the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt, the Hamas of Palestine, and the Afghan Mujahideen. But the history of their duplicity dates farther back still, to the eighteenth century, when British Freemasons created the Wahhabi sect of Saudi Arabia itself, to further their imperialistic objectives.
That a British spy by the name of Hempher was responsible for the shaping of the extreme tenets of Wahhabism was mentioned in a Turkish work, Mir'at al-Haramain , by Ayyub Sabri Pasha between 1933-1938. British policy in its colonies often involved the creation of deviant sects, in order to Divide and Conquer, as was the case with the Ahmadiyya sect of Islam in India in the nineteenth century.
The details of this conspiracy are outlined in a little-known document by the name of The Memoirs of Mr. Hempher published in series (episodes) in the German paper Spiegel, and later on in a prominent French paper. A Lebanese doctor translated the document to the Arabic language and from there on it was translated into English and other languages.
The document is a first-hand account by Hempher of his mission for his government, who sent him to the Middle East to discover ways to undermine the Ottoman Empire. Among the vices, the British were to promote were racism and nationalism, alcohol, gambling, fornication, and tempting Muslim women to uncover themselves.
But most important was the strategy to "insert heresies into Muslims' creedal tenets and then criticize Islam for being "a religion of terror." To this purpose, Hempher located a particularly corrupt individual by the name of Mohammed Ibn Adbul Wahhab.
To understand the brand of fanaticism that Wahhabism inculcated, it is first necessary to recognize that Islam called upon all Muslims, regardless of their race or nationality, to see themselves as brothers in faith. The killing of another Muslim was strictly forbidden. However, as part of their strategy of Divide and Conquer, the British hoped to pit the Arab Muslims against their Turkish brothers. The only way to do so was to find a loophole in Islamic law whereby the Arabs could declare the Turks as apostates.
Abdul Wahhab was the instrument by which the British were able to insinuate this vile idea into the Muslims of the Arabian Peninsula. Basically, Wahhab contrived the idea that, simply by the trivial act of offering prayers to saints, their Turkish brethren had forfeited their faith, and therefore, that it was permitted to kill all who refused to adhere to his reforms and enslave their women and children. But, that included the entire Muslim world, except for his small misguided band of followers.
But, the Wahabbi movement was insignificant without the allegiance of the Saudi family, who, despite claims otherwise, were descended from a Jewish merchant from Iraq . Orthodox jurists of the time branded the Wahhabis as heretics and condemned their fanaticism and intolerance.
Nevertheless, the Wahhabis then demonstrated their contempt for their pretended faith by indiscriminately slaughtering Muslims and non-Muslims alike. The Wahhabis then set about destroying all the holy tombs and burial grounds. They stole the Prophet's treasure, which included holy books, works of art, and innumerable priceless gifts sent to the city during the previous thousand years. The leather and gilt bindings of the Islamic holy books they had destroyed were used to make sandals for the Wahhabi criminals.
The Ottoman Sultan brought an end to the first Wahhabi rebellion in 1818, but the sect revived under the leadership of the Saudi Faysal I. The movement was then somewhat restored until once again destroyed at the end of the nineteenth century.
After WWI, the former regions of the Ottoman Empire were divided into varying puppets regimes. For aiding to undermine the Ottoman authority in the region, Ibn Saud was duly rewarded with the creation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in 1932. One year later, in 1933, the Saudis granted oil concessions to California Arabian Standard Oil Company (Casoc), an affiliate of Standard Oil of California (Socal, today's Chevron), headed by Rothschild agent, and chief among Illuminati families, Rockefeller. Since that time, Saudi Arabia has been the most important ally to the West in the Middle East, not only providing ready access to its plentiful oil reserves but also tempering Arab aggression against Israel. Due to the evident hypocrisy of the regime, it has been necessary to suppress the ensuing dissent with brutality. Another important aspect has been preventing scholars from speaking of "politics", that is, criticizing the regime.
In The Two Faces of Islam, writes Schwartz, "Their tastes led them to taverns, casinos, brothels. . . . They bought fleets of automobiles, private jets, and yachts the size of warships. They invested in valuable Western art they did not understand or like which often offended the sensitivities of Wahhabi clerics. They spent as they wished, becoming patrons of international sexual enslavement and the exploitation of children." The result has been that, in order to nonetheless appear to be espousing Islam, the Saudi regime and its puppet scholars have evolved a version of Islam that emphasizes ceremonial details of the religion, at the expense of helping to understand broader political realities. Their manner has encouraged a literal interpretation of Islamic law, permitting the likes of bin Laden to exploit the Koran to justify the killing of innocents.
Ultimately, the profusion of Rothschild-financed petro-dollars in the coffers of the Saudi family has made it possible to for them to then propagandize their bastardized version of Islam to other parts of the world, most notably to America, where they purportedly subsidize up to 80 percent of the mosques in the country, a version of Islam that substitutes political awareness for dogmatic insistence of ritualistic fanaticism.
In 1999, King Fahd of Saudi Arabia attended the Bilderberg meeting, presumably to discuss his role in furthering the interests of world government, along with other such luminaries as Yasser Arafat and the Pope. Evidently, the Saudi family is part of the deceptive ploys of the Illuminati network. Their complicity in the accumulation of petro-dollars has gone into the financing of Global terrorism, from Afghanistan to Bosnia, merely for the purpose of fomenting the necessary animosity of the world against Islam.

Russia’s Neutrality Ballet on Israel-Palestine
While some Russian heavyweights push to recast Israel as a hostile state, the Kremlin is unlikely to budge. Instead, Moscow will stay 'neutral' to maximize its West Asian influence, all while edging closer to the Arab and Muslim worlds.
By Pepe Escobar
October 19, 2023
Is it possible that the philo-Semitic Russian President Vladimir Putin is slowly but surely re-evaluating his geopolitical assessment of Israel? To call this the key riddle in Moscow’s corridors of power is actually an understatement.
There are no outward signs of such a seismic shift – at least when it comes to the officially “neutral” Russian position on the intractable Israel-Palestine drama.
Except for one stunning statement last Friday at the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) Summit in Bishkek, when Putin blasted Israel’s “cruel methods” employed to blockade Gaza, and compared it with “the siege of Leningrad during World War Two.”
“That’s unacceptable,” declared the Russian president, and warned that when all of Gaza’s 2.2 million civilians “have to suffer, including women and children, it’s hard for anyone to agree with this.”
Putin’s comments may have been one hint at the changes underway in the frustratingly opaque Russia-Israel relationship. A close second is this very important article published last Friday on Vzglyad, a security strategy website close to the Kremlin, diplomatically titled “Why Russia remains neutral in the conflict in the Middle East.”
It’s crucial to note that only six months ago and mirroring a near consensus among Russia’s intelligence community, Vzglyad editors were calling for Moscow to shift its considerable political weight toward supporting the number one issue for the Arab and Islamic worlds.
The article noted the key points Putin voiced in Bishkek: there’s no alternative to negotiations; Tel Aviv was subjected to a brutal attack and has the right to defend itself; a real settlement is possible only via an independent Palestinian state with its capital in East Jerusalem.
The Russian president favors the UN’s original “two states” solution and believes that a Palestinian state should be established “by peaceful means.” But, as much as the conflict was “a direct result of the failed policy of the United States in the Middle East,” Putin rejects Tel Aviv’s plans to launch a ground operation in Gaza.
This qualified hedging is certainly not evidence of Putin swinging to what is a near consensus among the General Staff, the siloviki in several intel agencies, and his ministry of defense: They consider that Israel may be a de facto enemy of the Russian Federation, allied with Ukraine, the US and NATO.
Follow the money
Tel Aviv has been extremely cautious not to frontally antagonize Russia in Ukraine, and this may be a direct consequence of the notoriously cordial relations between Putin and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Yet way more consequential than Israel on the geopolitical chessboard are Moscow’s evolving relations with Arab states today, especially OPEC+ partner Saudi Arabia which has helped thwart western efforts to control oil prices.
Also highly central to Russia’s regional policymaking is its strategic partnership with Iran, which has reaped dividends in Syria and the Caucasus, and which helps contain US expansionism. Finally, Moscow’s complex, multi-layered, back-and-forth with Ankara is crucial to Russian economic and geopolitical ambitions in Eurasia.
All three West Asian powers are Muslim-majority states, important affiliations for a multipolar Russia that hosts its own sizable Muslim population.
And for these three regional actors, without distinction, the current collective punishment of Gaza transgresses any possible red line.
Israel is also not that significant anymore in Moscow’s financial considerations. Since the 1990s, immense quantities of Russian funds have been transiting to Israel, but now, a substantial portion is returning right back to Russia.
The notorious case of billionaire Mikhail Friedman illustrates this new reality well. The oligarch quit his home in the UK and moved to Israel a week before the launch of Al-Aqsa Flood – which in turn had him hastily grab his Russian passport and head to Moscow for safety.
Friedman, who leads the Alfa Group with major interests in telecom, banking, retail, and insurance, and is a wealthy survivor of the 1998 financial crisis, is suspected by the Russians of “contributing” as much as $150 million to the enemy regime in Kiev.
The reaction by Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin could not have been sharper – or less concerned about Israel’s sentiments on the matter:
“Anyone who left the country and engaged in reprehensible acts, celebrating gunfire on Russian territory and wishing victory to the Nazi Kiev regime, should realize they are not only unwelcome here, but if they do return, Magadan (a notorious transit port to the gulag in the Stalin era) is waiting for them.”
Russophobia meets collective punishment
As the collective west resorted to a monomaniacal “We are all Israelis now,” the Kremlin’s strategy is to visibly position itself as the mediator of choice in this conflict – not only for the Arab and Muslim worlds but also for the Global South/Global Majority.
That was the purpose of this week’s Russian draft resolution at the UN Security Council calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, which was predictably shot down by the usual suspects.
Three permanent Security Council members – US, UK and France, plus their neo-colony Japan – voted against it. To the rest of the world, this looked like exactly what it was: irrational western Russophobia and US puppet states validating Israel’s genocidal bombardment of civilian-dense Gaza.
Off the record, intelligence analysts point to how the Russian General Staff, the intel apparatus, and the ministry of defense seem to be organically aligning with global sentiments on Israel’s excessive aggressions.
The problem is that official and public Russian criticism of Netanyahu’s serial, psychotic incitation to violence, alongside his rightwing National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, has been non-existent.
Moscow insiders insist that the Kremlin’s official “neutral” position is frontally clashing with its defense and security agencies – especially GRU and SVR – which will never forget that Israel was directly involved in the killing of Russians in Syria.
That view has strengthened since September 2018 when Israel’s Air Force used an Ilyushin-20M electronic reconnaissance plane as cover against Syrian missiles, causing it to be shot down and killing all 15 Russians on board.
This silence in the corridors of power is mirrored by silence in the public sphere. There has been no debate in the Duma about the Russian position on Israel-Palestine. And no debate at the Security Council since early October.
Yet a subtle hint was offered by Patriarch Kirill, the leader of the Russian Orthodox Church, who stressed that “peaceful coexistence” has a “religious dimension” and requires “just peace.” This does not exactly align with the announced ethnic cleansing of “human animals” (copyright Israeli Defense Ministry) in Gaza.
Along some corridors close to power, there’s an alarming rumor of an intricate shadow play between Moscow and Washington, wherein the Americans will deal with Israel in exchange for the Russians dealing with Ukraine.
While this would seal the west’s already ongoing process of throwing the sweaty sweatshirt actor in Kiev under the bus, the Kremlin is highly unlikely to trust any American deal, and certainly not one that would marginalize Russian influence in strategic West Asia.
This two-state solution is dead
Russia’s “neutrality” ballet will continue. Moscow is impressing on Tel Aviv the notion that even within the framework of its strategic partnership with Iran, weapons that could threaten Israel – as in, ending up with Hezbollah and Hamas – will not be exported. The quid pro quo of this arrangement would be that Israel also not sell anything Russian-threatening to Kiev either.
But unlike the US and the UK, Russia will not designate Hamas as a terrorist organization. Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov has been very forthright on this issue: Moscow keeps its contacts with both sides; its “number one priority” is “the interest of the country’s (Russian) citizens who live both in Palestine and Israel”; and Russia will remain “a party that has the potential to participate in the settlement processes.”
Neutrality, of course, may reach a dead end. Overwhelmingly, for the Arab and Muslim states actively courted by the Kremlin, the dismantlement of Zionist-led settler-colonialism should be the “number one priority.”
This implies that the two-state solution, for all practical purposes, is fully dead and buried. Yet there’s no evidence anyone, not least Moscow, is ready to admit it.

The Insane Idea That Nations Get To Do War Crimes Whenever Something Bad Happens to Them
By Caitlin Johnstone
October 19, 2023
One of the most destructive ideas in modern times is this notion that it’s fine and appropriate for governments to act like monsters whenever anything bad happens to their country. We saw it happen with the United States after 9/11, and we’re seeing it now with Israel.
Dropping military explosives on children is just as wrong now as it was on October 6th. Wars of aggression were just as wrong on September 12th 2001 as they were on September 10th. But there’s this idiotic belief in mainstream culture that a nation experiencing a traumatic event means it gets to go on a murderous rampage until it feels better.
As soon as the Hamas attack occurred we were inundated with messaging from the western political/media class which conveyed the idea that because something bad happened to Israel, Israel now gets to do a little genocide, as a treat. This is stupid nonsense, and should be rejected by all thinking people.
No other aspect of human life works like this. A normal guy isn’t permitted to go on a shooting spree at his wife’s workplace just because she cheated on him with Kyle from marketing. He’s not even allowed to be mean to customers at work or he’ll get fired. The rules don’t stop applying to normal people just because something bad happened to them; only when we’re thinking about the giant power conglomerates known as governments is this sloppy thinking ever taken seriously.
In fact, in other aspects of life we understand that after a traumatic event it’s actually important to protect our friends and loved ones from making bad decisions in the emotional heat of the moment. You wouldn’t let your sister get an ugly face tattoo after a nasty breakup. If you saw your friend stumbling around with his car keys in one hand and a bottle in the other after losing his job, you wouldn’t tell him you stand with him and support whatever it is he’s getting ready to do. You’d understand that people can make unwise decisions after something bad happens to them, and you’d do what you can to help steer them away from it.
But when we extend our thinking out to the world’s deadliest military forces — precisely the things toward which we should be most careful about bad decision-making — all that goes out the window. All of a sudden “You’re either with us or against us” is framed as a perfectly sound and reasonable position to have on issues like multiple full-scale ground invasions, and if you don’t “Stand with Israel” while it bombs Gaza, Lebanon and Syria that means you’re an evil terrorist supporter who probably hates Jews.
The death toll from Israel’s bombing campaign in Gaza has already more than doubled the death toll from the Hamas attack, and we can expect it to keep multiplying because there’s no meaningful opposition to the bloodshed. The United States, who as an indispensable backer of Israel could end all this with a word, has refused to draw a single red line on what Israel may or may not do if it wishes to retain US support — even its indiscriminate use of white phosphorus, which violates international humanitarian law. War crimes are being committed not just openly but announced in advance as Tel Aviv commits itself to the collective punishment of Palestinians with a complete siege of Gaza, and Israel’s allies have no objection to this.
And it’s pretty bad in the general western public as well. Because of the frenetic propaganda campaign by the western press in the wake of the Hamas attack, a new CNN poll finds that half of Americans have been successfully convinced that because something bad happened to Israel, Israel is “fully justified” in raining hellfire on a giant concentration camp in which half the population are children.
The moments after a scary and traumatizing event are the very moments we should be most vigilant against abuses by the nation affected by it. Instead we’re doing the exact opposite as a society and silently agreeing that certain nations get a hall pass on war crimes and mass murder whenever something bad happens to them. At the exact time when the light of wisdom needs to be shining at its very brightest, we’re allowing it to be flushed down the toilet.
And now as anti-war voices like Trita Parsi, Branko Marcetic and Connor Echols have noted, we’re looking at a conflict that could easily escalate and expand to include other nations in the middle east and the US alliance. All because the world decided that we are now on a temporary holiday away from reason and compassion.
This needs to stop. We need to be thinking rationally not just about the current violence but the factors which led to it. That means taking a full accounting of the apartheid abuses which gave rise to Hamas and the Palestinian resistance, ending those abuses and righting the wrongs. It means negotiations. It means diplomacy. It means reparations. It means making concessions. It means sitting down and talking. It means acknowledging the problem so that it can be fixed.
And all of this can be avoided for as long as Israel and its allies want to strut about huffing about how they have special license to kill Palestinians now because blah blah victim story. At this point in history, just as after 9/11, war looks so very, very easy and peace looks so very, very difficult. But it’s at these exact moments that we need to be pushing hardest for peace, because this is when it actually matters.
This is where the rubber meets the road, folks. This is where the real work of creating a healthy world takes place.

Reflections on Israel and the United States
By Jacob G. Hornberger
October 21, 2023
I have a prediction to make with respect to Israel’s retaliation against the people of Gaza in response to the recent attack by Hamas on Israeli citizens. I predict that Israel’s response will not end up settling the longstanding dispute between Israel and the Palestinians. In fact, I will go a step further and predict that the response will produce another equally vicious attack on Israelis sometime in the future, perhaps even 10-15 years from now when the Gaza children who have survived are old enough to initiate another deadly attack on Israelis.
Some mainstream commentators are calling the Hamas attack Israel’s 9/11. I think there is some merit in that comparison. Twenty years ago, here at The Future of Freedom Foundation, we were ardently opposing the U.S. government’s plans to invade Afghanistan in response to the 9/11 attacks. We steadfastly maintained that such an invasion would end up killing and maiming multitudes of innocent people and, consequently, produce a perpetual threat of more terrorist attacks, which would, of course, serve as a justification for the continued destruction of American liberty at the hands of the Pentagon, the CIA, and the NSA.
We argued that the death and destruction resulting from the 9/11 attacks should cause Americans to engage in some serious soul-searching, with the aim of getting America back on the road to a society of liberty, peace, prosperity, and harmony with the world. That meant, we argued, going after suspected terrorists using the legal process (e.g., Interpol, extradition, etc.) and, at the same time, ending the foreign interventionism (e.g., the economic sanctions that killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children and the position of U.S. officials that such deaths were “worth it”) that gave rise to the deep rage that motivated foreigners to initiate vicious attacks against innocent Americans, such as with the 9/11 attacks but also the pre-9/11 terrorist attacks, such as those against the USS Cole, the 1993 WTC attack, etc.
We were attacked unmercifully for taking that position. “You’re a justifier!” our critics cried. “You’re justifying what the terrorists have done.” We were inundated with hate mail and cancellations of support. That was a difficult time for FFF. But we never wavered. As an aside, that’s when I became good friends with Lew Rockwell, another libertarian who was standing this same lonely ground within the libertarian movement against the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan. Twenty years later, I can’t help but wonder why there is anyone left, including libertarians who ardently and enthusiastically supported the invasion of Afghanistan and, later, Iraq, who retrospectively still defend the U.S. invasion of those two countries as a response to the 9/11 attacks.
In the immediate aftermath of those vicious 9/11 attacks, vengeance, not wisdom, was all that mattered. The thirst for revenge consumed people’s minds. It didn’t matter how many innocent people would die in a U.S. invasion of Afghanistan. All that mattered was that it was important to kill lots of people, especially if they were Muslims. That was where the notion that Muslims were engaged in a centuries-old quest to establish a worldwide caliphate became popular. It was an easy way to make people feel good about the massive death and destruction that was going to be wreaked by the U.S. war machine on the people of Afghanistan. No one wanted to think about the fact that it was U.S. interventionism that had given rise to the 9/11 attacks and, therefore, that more U.S. interventionism would do more of the same. All that mattered was revenge and vengeance.
There is an important lesson that can be drawn form the Hamas attack on Israel but I’m fairly certain that U.S. interventionists will not want to consider it. The commentators are rightly focusing on Hamas’s killing of Israeli civilians. What they are alluding to is that in a war, it is a vicious war crime to attack civilians. Soldiers fight soldiers and are supposed to do their best to avoid killing civilians.
How does this hold a lesson for Americans? Because of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki! This is another area in which FFF has been attacked by U.S. interventionists over the years. Every time we point out that those two atomic bombings were war crimes because they targeted civilians, we receive attacks from U.S. interventionists who claim that it was justified to kill all those innocent people as a way to “shorten the war.”
My hunch is that those interventionists who attack us for our position are today rightly attacking Hamas for killing innocent Israeli civilians. But my hunch is that they still do not — and will not — recognize the fundamental inconsistency of their position. If it’s wrong for Hamas to target and kill innocent civilians, why is it right when the U.S. government does it?
The real issue that the Israeli citizenry should be confronting is: How in the world can this dispute be settled once and for all, so that all the death and destruction can be brought to an end? That’s where wisdom comes into play.
I am far from being an expert on the Israeli-Palestinian dispute. But I do consider myself to be an expert in the libertarian philosophy. Some years ago, a statist sent me an email asserting that libertarianism could not serve as a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He was wrong. Libertarian principles are universal. They apply everywhere.
One of the best articles one could ever read on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is an FFF article written by Richard Ebeling entitled “Free Market Liberalism and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.” In his article, Richard analyzes the two most popular solutions to the conflict: a two-state solution and a one-state solution.
I lean toward the latter. There is no absolutely no reason why Israelis and Palestinians cannot live together peacefully and harmoniously within one nation. After all, Jews and Arabs live here in the United States without killing each other. There is nothing special about the geographic location of Israel that prevents Jews and Arabs from peacefully and harmoniously living together within the same nation in that part of the world. After all, there have been thousands of Arabs living in Israel for decades.
One of Israel’s top concern is that Arabs might outnumber Jews in the country, which might mean that Jews would no longer control the government, in which case Israel might lose its special status as a sanctuary for Jews. That problem could be easily solved with a non-amendable constitutional provision that guarantees that the government will always be Jewish-controlled and Jewish-run. If Arabs don’t like that, they don’t have to move to Israel.
But I have no doubts that regular Palestinians would gladly agree to such a condition in return for a normal life in which they were free to own homes and businesses, engage in commerce, raise their families, accumulate wealth, travel freely, criticize public officials, and exercise all other fundamental rights.
And that’s where libertarianism comes into play. In a society in which the Israeli government’s powers were strictly limited to protecting the rights of everyone in an even, impartial manner, no one would care who was running the government. It’s only when government wields the power to dole out privileges to selected groups or to arbitrarily punish selected groups that people care who wields political power.
And that’s where the big obstacle to peace in the Middle East lies. Both sides are as antithetical to libertarianism as American statists are. Moreover, they both are firmly committed to the obliteration of the other side. Thus, until both sides see the utter futility in this mindset and embrace libertarianism, the death and suffering with go on into perpetuity.
Meanwhile, among the best things Americans could ever do is to prevent our government from providing weaponry, money, or other foreign aid to either Israel or the Palestinians. For that matter, Americans would be wise to terminate all foreign aid to every nation in the world. Best of all, the best thing Americans could ever do for the people of the world is to restore our nation’s sound founding principles of economic liberty, free markets, sound money, voluntary charity, non-interventionism, and a limited-government republic. In other words, we should lead the world to libertarianism by example.

West's Pro-Israel Position Accelerates Its Loss of Power
Moon of Alabama
October 21, 2023
Western media start to note how their politicians’ unwavering support for Israel and Ukraine is diminishing their countries’ global standing.
At Naked Capitalism Yves Smith notes the devastating political effects of the Gaza bombing on Biden’s foreign policies:
Biden Gets Zelensky Treatment in Middle East as Israel Tries to Escalate
The US, in a continued demonstration of the degree of enbubblement of what passes for its leadership, seems to believe it still has the force and soft power to be able to bully talk its way out of its geopolitical messes. Yet this week we have stunning examples of how critical players in the rest to the world no longer buy what the US is selling. The gap between the American establishment’s connection to reality and facts on the ground has opened up to a yawning chasm as the Arab world, as Jordan cancelled a Biden summit with its King Abduallah II plus PLO chief Mahmoud Abbas and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi in response to Israel’s shelling of Al-Ahli Arab hospital. Not only are they rejecting the attempt to shift blame for the attack to Hamas (we’ll soon address the “rogue shell” claim), but also the bigger pretense behind that, that the US is incapable of, as opposed to unwilling to, applying the choke chain to Israel.
Even the Western media are not much on board with the Israeli and Biden Administration pretense that somehow Hamas dunnit, when Israel has been trying to herd Palestinians out of northern Gaza and specifically attempted to order the evacuation of the hospital. Oh, and this follows Israel ordering the UN to evacuate from Gaza in 24 hours and then shelling its warehouse there: …
Israel bombed, probably with a U.S. made Hellfire missile, the courtyard of the Baptist al-Ahli Arab hospital where thousands had sought refuge. A short video of the immediate aftermath shows several dozens if not hundreds of dead and wounded. Doctors later held a press conference while standing among some of the casualties.
Like other hospitals al-Ahli Arab had been told by Israel to evacuate but could not do so as there are no other places where the sick and wounded, including many intensive care cases, could be cared for.
Three days earlier, notes the UN, the same hospital had, like others, already been bombed:
14 October 2023: In Gaza city city and governorate, Ahli Arab Hospital was hit by Israeli airstrikes, partially damaging two floors and damaging the ultrasound and mammography room. Four people were injured. Sources: Al Jazeera V and Personal Communication
To then claim, as Biden did, that ‘the other team’ was responsible for the attack is unfathomable.
It was also way too late says a RUSI fellow:
Going to repeat this as the situation has moved more in the past 16 hours than in the previous week.
The plates have shifted, radically. The window for Israeli operations has shrunk from more than a month, to a few days…if at all.
That is now the reality of where we stand.
No country besides the U.S. and a few Europeans will ever defend such barbarity. They will simply stop listen to what the ‘west’ has to say.
The Financial Times quotes a G7-official who struggles with this global divide:
Rush by west to back Israel erodes developing countries’ support for Ukraine (archived)
Western support for Israel’s assault on Gaza has poisoned efforts to build consensus with significant developing countries on condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine, officials and diplomats have warned.
The reaction to the October 7 attack on Israel by Islamist militant group Hamas and to Israel’s vow to hit back against Gaza has undone months of work to paint Moscow as a global pariah for breaching international law, they said, exposing the US, EU and their allies to charges of hypocrisy.
In the flurry of emergency diplomatic visits, video conferences and calls, western officials have been accused of failing to defend the interests of 2.3mn Palestinians in their rush to condemn the Hamas attack and support Israel.
…
The backlash had solidified entrenched positions in the developing world on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, officials said. They warned that this could derail future diplomatic efforts on Ukraine.
“We have definitely lost the battle in the Global South,” said one senior G7 diplomat. “All the work we have done with the Global South [over Ukraine] has been lost . . . Forget about rules, forget about world order. They won’t ever listen to us again.”
…
Some American diplomats are privately concerned that the Biden administration’s response has failed to acknowledge how its broad support of Israel can alienate much of the Global South.
Looking at the current BRI anniversary meeting of some 140 states in Beijing, the New York Times voices similar concerns:
New Global Divisions on View as Biden Goes to Israel and Putin to China
Russia and China are siding with a Palestinian people seeking liberation and self-determination, while in Washington’s eyes, they themselves deny those same possibilities to the Ukrainians, the Tibetans, the Uyghurs and even to the Taiwanese.
But in their reluctance to blame Hamas and effort to associate themselves with the Palestinian cause, both Russia and China are appealing to a wider sentiment in the so-called Global South — and in large parts of Europe, too. For them, it is Israel that is conducting a colonialist policy by its occupation of the West Bank, its encouragement of Jewish settlers on Palestinian land and its isolation of the 2.3 million people of Gaza, who are subjected even in normal times to sharp restrictions on their freedoms.
The Global South, a term for developing nations, is a vital area of the new competition between the West and the Chinese-Russian alternative, said Hanna Notte, the director of a Eurasia program at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies.
From the point of view of many in the Global South, she said, “the United States fights Russia, the occupier of Ukraine, but when it comes to Israel, the U.S. is on the side of the occupier, and Russia taps into that.”
The editorial board of the Washington Post also declares the failure of U.S. policies:
It would be a moral and strategic mistake to ignore Gaza’s plight
Still, the plight of Gazans has been treated by the United States and the wider international community as a sad but immutable fact in an irresolvable conflict. This was a moral and strategic error, helping promote the instability that has, for now, wrecked efforts on the part of Israel, the United States and Arab states to build a durable diplomatic settlement among the region’s big players.
The Carnegie Council explains how the global rift necessitates a change in western policies. It especially sees a need to ditch the so called “value-” or “rules-based-order” policies:
A Requiem for the Rules-Based Order
The Case for Value-Neutral Ethics in International Relations
Regardless of how it eventually concludes, the Russo-Ukrainian War represents a seismic event signaling profound changes in the global landscape. The unipolar era is at its end, major countries are more concerned with their cultural sovereignty and strategic autonomy than they have been in decades, and it seems inevitable that the once-dominant Western hegemony must gradually yield to a more diverse and multipolar system.
The period following World War II witnessed the ascendancy of the United States and its allies as architects of a new international order premised on the institutionalization of Western values such as democracy and human rights. This Western-centric approach to global governance—known as the “rules-based order”—has encountered mounting challenges. China’s rise, Russia’s geopolitical subversiveness, and the growing assertiveness of emerging powers from the Global South have eroded Western dominance. The outcome is a more diverse world, characterized by multiple centers of power coexisting, challenging any single ideology or set of substantive values.
…
Our particular sense of morality in the West should not stop us from aspiring to pursue what’s both wise and right. The evolving international order, characterized by polycentrism and multipolarity, challenges the conventional Western-dominated “rules-based” order. Drawing from Nietzsche’s perspective on values, we recognize that values are context-dependent rather than innate, timeless, or universal. Similarly, the decline of our ancien regime does not spell the end of international ethics. If the current transition is understood correctly, it could promise the birth of a new normative system based on a functional, value-neutral, situational, and diplomatic ethic that has its primary concern in managing reciprocal relations between world powers.
Instead of attempting to impose our values on others (no matter how good or true we think they are), we in the West should prioritize engagement with other major powers based on common interests and shared objectives. …
…
In sum, within the intellectual framework offered by cultural realism, we need an alternative instrumentalist and pragmatic ethic that 1) accepts the realities of power politics and spheres of interest without moralizing and projecting a Manichaean mentality upon the world, and 2) is grounded in principles that are conducive to a pluralist modus vivendi, including mutual and equal recognition, statesmanship, non-interference, humility, strategic empathy, and open dialogue.
Some might say that the west will never change its behavior but I do not believe that.
The west WILL HAVE TO change its behavior or it will go down into history’s graveyard. There is no longer an alternative as the ‘rules based order’ has proven to be an unsellable dead end.

Netanyahu End Game – Eliminate All Palestinians…
By Helena Glass
October 21, 2023
The Rothschild Economist which owns Israel is asking Israel what is the ‘end game’? Netanyahu has declared this war will take months… as in until the US 2024 election. Four end-game scenarios have been proposed: 1. Take Gaza, rubble and all, and run it via Netanyahu 2. Allow the ‘hated’ Abbas to control it, 3. Bring in foreigners, 4. Give it back to Hamas. Obviously only one scenario is going to be allowed.
Netanyahu wants a clean slate of Israel – only for his chosen secular Israeli’s as was originally proposed by Edmond Rothschild in t he late 1800’s. However, Gaza is only one part of the Palestinian land – the West Bank in reality is next.
And just like that, Netanyahu has declared Hamas is in The West Bank and has begun a terror raid of the territory. The media justification ‘reprisal’. Israel is allowed to indiscriminately kill whomever they determine is necessary for their mission – widening the ever increasing master plan for a world war to erupt in the Middle East.
A suicide mission.
US and UK have announced evacuation orders of their citizens from Lebanon – inviting an even greater middle east incursion. And the rally cry for peace is ignored. Reminiscent of the Vietnam War. A government war. The Draft.
The US military has been lamenting the abysmal recruits despite lowering every conceivable standard and offering bonuses for those who enlist. BONUSES. And still no one wants to be a part of this military. A corrupt, degenerate military that treats its soldiers like trash.
With two forever wars to choose from the military is very likely to necessitate The Dreaded Draft once again. Protect your sons and daughters!
Today the call it Selective Service and every person between the ages of 18 and 25 must register – including illegal immigrants… ALL 7 million draft aged immigrants must register or face a felony charge. Untrained. Unvetted. Possibly carrying a number of diseases. The Selective Service is set up like the draft for Vietnam – based on a lottery. Draw the wrong number and off you go to bootcamp! Sorry – your bad luck!
I wonder how many of those upstanding citizens decrying death to all Muslims would feel if their precious sons and daughters drew the ‘wrong number’? Would ‘Give Peace A Chance’ once again vibrate the hallowed halls of government? Would the elite grease the hands that select the numbers? Rory Gates is – 24.
Maybe our esteemed officials would create an algorithm whereby only red city/state youth were called up? Like they did with the vaccine – selective bio-death.
Today Rishi Sunak, PM of the UK, has landed in Saudi Arabia to deter animosity. His previous claims to annihilate all Palestinians as animals has been shed, and he parlays a faded hope that Netanyahu won’t commit genocide and push the world war that Russia did not allow. But Rishi speaks from both sides of his mouth neither side really evincing his true character… Prince Salman is not easily swayed by the fakery.
Sunak told Netanyahu that he wants Israel to win. Win what? Israel has declared it’s mission to be the destruction of Hamas – yet continues to obliterate all of Gaza. And therein lies the answer the Rothschild Economist already noted in its four potential outcomes – Gaza and The West Bank will be reduced to rubble –
It is curious that Sunak feels the need to go to Israel at all – given the fierce constant attacks by Hamas… But then AI does wonders these days. And the money laundering created via the Ukraine war becomes a viable explanation.
Of importance to Sunak’s arrival is to help negotiate the release of Israeli and foreign prisoners in Gaza. Oddly, there are few if any notations as to who those prisoners might be. Why are their names withheld? Why does every media outlet parlay different numbers; 400 prisoners! 250 Prisoners! 150 Prisoners… 100 prisoners… Why aren’t family members involved demanding Biden take a more actionable agenda? Or is this Afghanistan replayed? Why isn’t the US doing “ANYTHING” – if in fact there are prisoners? How much information is fake? Netanyahu has announced that the hostages are on their own – he has no interest in a rescue mission or a swap.
“Framing the current conflict as a battle between the “forces of progress and humanity” and “an axis of evil”, Netanyahu called Hamas “the modern barbarians, the worst monsters on the planet”.
It is unclear exactly how many Hamas members there are in Gaza Palestine. Estimates range wildly between 15,000 to 50,000. Hamas is split between its political bureau which is based in Qatar, and its social bureau which is based in Gaza. The Bureau has fifteen members in Gaza and four units, including; finance, propaganda, foreign affairs, and social welfare.
The social welfare bureau is what led the creation of schools, hospitals, religious institutions, and charity which had been denied by the Israel government. The political Bureau oversees the military operations via the Shura Council. Izz Al Din Al Qassam Brigade is the military branch.
If in fact, Israel intends to kill all 25,000 Hamas military members, this war is slated to be exceptionally bloody given 4,000 “Palestinians” have been killed with absolutely no mention of how many were Hamas. Half the Palestinian deaths have been attributed to children – the Hillary Clinton What Difference Does It Make If They Are Dead – casualties of war – scenario.

Where There is No Respect for Life, Evil Flourishes
By Steve McCann
October 19, 2023
The heinous actions of the Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023 can unequivocally be described as evil. It had as its genesis the inculcated belief that Jews are malevolent and subhuman, therefore, they are deserving of death, destruction and being conquered by any means possible including the unconscionable and premeditated slaughter of women, children and the elderly.
In keeping with a tactic almost as old as mankind itself, the self-appointed leaders of Middle Eastern Islamic terrorist groups and the political leaders of nations such as Iran have manipulated their maleducated followers or citizenry into believing Israel and the Jews have either taken what is rightfully theirs, are the personification of evil, or are responsible for their misery.
Throughout the history of mankind unscrupulous leaders and their disciples have exploited mankind’s base nature as exemplified by what the Catholic Church defines as the seven deadly sins: pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth. These human failings invariably lead to a near-irreversible loss of respect for human life and in due course a society riddled with uncontrolled evil.
The loss of respect for life has also begun to dramatically infiltrate the American ruling elites and the overall society as over the past two decades the following, previously unthinkable, changes have occurred within the United States:
- Unfettered abortion up to the point of birth and post-birth infanticide has become a policy position of the Democrat Party.
- Euthanasia is openly discussed and supported by an ever-growing (73%) segment of the population.
- Sexually confused teens are being coerced into mutilation and permanent disfigurement in order to appease the gods of transgenderism, accompanied by an unabashed campaign to legalize pedophilia.
- A significant plurality of Americans is demanding the censorship, imprisonment, and persecution of their political adversaries while they, and recent Islamic immigrants, are openly supporting and justifying the slaughter of Jews by Hamas.
- Tribalism has been mainstreamed and with it the belief that certain ethnicities or races are inferior to others and also responsible for society’s ills, therefore, they are deserving of disrespect, abuse and discrimination.
The path the United States is presently traveling will inevitably lead to the darkening shadow of unfettered evil descending upon the land leading to national self-destruction.
Respect for life runs counter to mankind’s base nature and a world that oftentimes sees human life as expendable for reasons of political power, economic gain, territorial conquest, and supposedly, in the name of religions that coincidentally promulgate respect for life.
Respect for life is not just a religious value, it is a foundational value of all societies in which reasonable people would want to live. Those who see mankind as having dignity just because they are human, believe that respect for life requires they do not intentionally kill, abuse or torture another human being.
The world’s major religions, which represent 78% of the global population, believe and teach that respect for life is fundamental to all religious sensibilities and societies. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam believe God created mankind; thus, human life is entitled to respect and dignity. Hinduism views human life as a manifestation or expression of the Divine. And Buddhism sees human beings as entities that can ultimately attain enlightenment (Buddhahood) and are entitled to respect. All major religions agree in unequivocally stating that life is sacred.
Therefore, the taking of human life is regarded as among the gravest of transgressions, except where it may be necessary to protect oneself or others from greater harm.
An ironic commonality of language underscoring the sanctity of life and the condemnation for the taking of it can be seen first in the Jewish Talmud (200 AD) and later in the Islamic Qur’an (600 AD). In the Talmud, Mishnah Sanhedrin 4:9:
Whoever destroys a life, it is considered as if he destroyed the entire world. And whoever saves a life, it is considered as if he saved the entire world.
The fifth chapter of the Qur’an, Surah Al-Maidah verse 32:
…that whosoever kills a human being for other than murder or corruption in the earth, it shall be as if he has killed all mankind, and whoever saves the life of one, it shall be as if he saved the life of all mankind.
Yet, Hamas, Hezb’allah and other middle eastern terrorist groups profess an explicit belief in Islam and in God’s revelations to Mohammad as recorded in the Qur’an, the central religious text of Islam. Unfortunately, many militant Islamists seize upon other verses amid the 114 chapters of the Qur’an they claim can be interpreted to fit their agenda or personal animosities or as justification for violence and conquest.
Once evil controls a society it cannot be bargained with or appeased. The deep-seated disregard for life extends to their own population who are sacrificed by their leaders either via unending warfare, imprisonment, or execution. Ultimately, as history has repeatedly revealed, these societies either destroy themselves from within or are, by necessity, conquered by others.
Once again, the world has been reminded that evil exists. As in Europe in the 1930s, the unbridled evil rampant throughout the Middle East will metastasize into another global conflagration if not addressed and ultimately eliminated and that the underlying root cause is not economic, or territorial, or religious but malevolent disregard for human life.

The Internal Boil Of Israel
By Jacob Fraden
October 21, 2023
More and more, one sees people saying that, given Israel’s massive intelligence failures in the lead-up to the Hamas massacre, perhaps what happened wasn’t an accident. Perhaps discontented political factions in Israel wanted it to happen as a way to force political change. Let’s examine that premise to see if it might be possible.
Several years ago, the multi-lingual Tuvia Tenenbom wrote about how, disguised as a German journalist, he had long conversations with the members of the Knesset, residents of the territories, and leaders of Palestinian militants. In addition to what they said to him, he was able to audit their Hebrew or Arabic language conversations. After reading his book, Catch The Jew!, I was horrified. It became clear to me that Israel is seriously ill. It’s standing at the edge of an abyss, and it is not the terrorists of Hamas, Fatah, or Hezbollah who will push it over the edge. The Israelis themselves will take a fatal step forward.
Jews are a highly polarized people, with equal numbers of fools and wise men. In my opinion, every Jew believes that he is the one who knows how to govern the state and how to solve this or that problem. When Golda Meir, who was wise, was asked, “Is it difficult to be a prime minister in Israel,” she answered the question with a question: “How can you be a prime minister in a country where there are already three million prime ministers?”
Israel’s politics reflect over three and a half thousand years of Jewish history. The internal strife in the Diaspora and Israeli society inevitably leads to confrontations, civil wars, and, sometimes, tragic consequences on an epic scale. According to the Torah, the First Temple was destroyed because society was divided, with three main sins flourishing: idol worship, debauchery, and murder. By the time of the Second Temple, society followed the Torah’s commandments but allowed unreasonable and all-pervasive hatred to flourish. The Temple fell. Is that what’s happening today?
The whole world, and especially Israeli citizens, are asking one question: “How did this happen?” No one can understand why the “best” intelligence service in the world failed, why the “most secure” border turned out to be full of holes, and why the “most combat-ready” army in the world took four hours to react to a terrorist attack. No one is particularly surprised that terrorists carried out a massacre in Israel in scale and stunning cruelty comparable only to the 17th-century pogroms of Bohdan Khmelnitsky and his boys. Everyone knew this was how they fight. But Israel’s failures…that was different.
In recent years, Israel has been seriously ill, tormented by a political fever caused by leftist forces working to seize power. Israel was shaken at all levels, from minor officials all the way up to the Knesset and the prime minister. Turbulent waves of demonstrations and strikes rolled across the country, the army was demoralized, and military pilots refused to fly out on combat duty. In fact, a cold civil war was going on in Israel, and the country plunged into chaos. Palestinian terrorists, acting for their puppet masters from Tehran and (likely) Moscow, took advantage of this.
Many observers are concluding that the current catastrophe resulted from the moral degradation of the Israeli political establishment and army command. While I fully agree with this assessment, it seems to me that the failure of the armed forces to defend the country cannot be explained just by the anemia of military command alone.
Regardless of military malaise, the elaborate border protection system that had been built over the years should have worked, at least in some places. However, it turned out to be totally paralyzed absolutely everywhere, in all areas. Completely and simultaneously! This simply couldn’t happen, but it did happen! I suspect that there was a good reason for this, and the name for it is “sabotage.”
History knows cases when the top leadership of a certain country, to achieve some political goals, deliberately exposed their country to attack and made sacrifices among their own population. I will give just two examples from the events of about 80 years ago.
There is a lot of evidence (although some historians dispute it) that President Roosevelt knew in advance about the impending bombing of Pearl Harbor but deliberately did nothing to prevent it. Roosevelt wanted the United States to enter World War II on the British side and to destroy Japan’s hegemony in Asia. In those years, anti-war sentiment was very strong in America. Roosevelt could not start a war with Japan without a serious “casus belli.” The attack on Pearl Harbor gave him such an excuse at the cost of several thousand American lives.
The second example also involves WWII. In 1941, Stalin planned an attack on Germany. To create a “casus belli”, he prepared to bomb his own cities using Soviet pilots flying German planes, of which he had many. According to the historian Mark Solonin, by an almost mystical coincidence, Stalin planned this provocation for June 22, only to have Hitler forestall it by acting on his own initiative to bomb Soviet cities. Stalin, believing that these were his own pilots, issued the order “not to respond to fire and not to succumb to provocations.” Talk about a miscalculation.
Using these examples, I dare make an assumption that seems crazy at first glance: Israeli intelligence and the top army leadership colluded to allow the impending Hamas attack, hoping that it would destroy Netanyahu, whom they hate, even at the cost of Israeli lives. However, they miscalculated because they expected the normal, relatively small-scale attack, not the huge massacre that occurred.
Of course, this is just a guess, but I don’t see any other explanation. I am confident that, after Israel’s victory, a detailed investigation will be carried out, the true causes of the disaster will be revealed, and those responsible will be named.
Here’s one more question many are asking: Is there a solution to the Palestinian problem? Having Gaza exist alongside Israel provides convincing evidence from a real-world experiment that the idea of “two states for two peoples living side by side” will not work. Just as acid and alkali cannot coexist, so Israel will never have peace as long as its enemies live at its side.
The only possible solution, unfortunately, lies not in Israel’s hands but in the hands of the Arab states. As they’ve shown, they categorically do not want to let in the “Palestinians.” However, if they were suddenly to cut the Gordian knot of the Palestinian people and resettle about three million “Palestinians” in their vast territories, peace may come to the region, and Iran’s influence will be minimized.
History knows similar cases: From 1945 to 1950, masses of ethnic Germans—between 12 and 14 million people—were resettled from Czechoslovakia, Poland, East Prussia, and other countries to West and East Germany. Thirty years ago, Israel itself accepted and absorbed more than a million migrants from the former USSR. None of these resettled groups were classified as lifelong refugees.
Currently, resettling Gaza’s and the West Bank’s Arab populations is just a sweet dream. But who knows what might happen in 50 or 100 years, or maybe even sooner? If nothing else, the 21st century shows that history has accelerated its pace.

What Israel and the US Have in Common
By Matthew G. Andersson
October 21, 2023
Much is often said about Israel and the United States being natural allies, but that is usually not accompanied by much detail. There are many cultural ties, including religion, of course, and intriguing economic similarities, especially in their respective social instincts for entrepreneurialism, technology, and capital markets. Israel and the United States are also “New World” countries, formed in large part on the basis of religious and political freedom.
At a current national security level, the two countries share a similar strategic threat from enemies at their borders and, in some respects, enemies internally. In the case of Israel, like the current United States, it was its southern border that was recently penetrated by invaders (at the Kerem Shalom checkpoint near Egypt, among other locations). Moreover, its northern flank, like in the U.S., is also exposed, and to its east looms a vast land mass of hostile interests that can encroach through an unstable Iraq, right up to Israel’s lines of defense. The U.S faces similar risks from the equivalent of a foreign sea power that can (and does) mass up and down its eastern Atlantic seaboard, and also along its entire western Pacific coast. Invasion access is abundant and maintaining security a constant responsibility. Both counties are surrounded by national security threats, and that includes the third dimension of airspace, including space.
What both countries really share, however, is hatred from outside. It is a hate based in many ways on envy. Israel has many successes to claim, while also hosting a social culture utterly unlike its neighbors that surround it, who are still psychologically tied to customs and thought patterns rooted in centuries-old belief. This includes the treatment of women, for example, as well as the full panoply of human rights, law and economics, and their respective institutions.
The U.S. is also similarly hated by much of the world. If you travel to Europe, you often encounter an attitude from western Europeans (interestingly, not generally from eastern and central ones) who harbor a contempt for “American” ways. If you travel still farther to parts of Asia, the state of mind there may be more pragmatic but also much more dangerous: China, unlike France and Germany, has possession of economic and trade power, combined with the military prowess and numbers, to overwhelm the U.S.
With a weak if nonexistent commander in chief, the risk is radically heightened. (One can only imagine what Netanyahu was thinking as he saw Biden hobble down the stairs of Air Force One recently.) But the U.S. has also naïvely accommodated an internal political enemy that seeks to dismantle and replace much of its functions, while retaining merely some of its forms (its legal system is an example).
What Israel and the U.S. do not have in common, however, is also instructive: leadership and resolve. Say what you may about Netanyahu, but if the U.S. were “Israel,” our southern border would likely be fully patrolled if not sealed, with the north carefully guarded. And if the border were breached — and the U.S. has been breached — his instinct might be to retaliate. Instead, the U.S. facilitates.
The current U.S. instinct is also to accommodate in an unprecedented way: the thousands of illegal entrants who are being explicitly and illegally shipped into the U.S. interior daily are, in many ways, a silent “Hamas” that can accomplish the same goals, only in a more subtle if not insidious manner: a slow-kill assault on American culture and its security that has at the core of its political and private sponsorship a profound hatred of America, combined with envy and, perhaps ironically, a lust for its spoils, property, and symbols of prestige.
Israel, on the other hand, retains a sharp instinct for self-preservation. The United States may have this instinct in a latent form, and as Edmund Burke once noted, colonial Americans could “smell the approach of tyranny in every tainted breeze.” It may be the colonial spirit that can best tie the U.S. and Israel together because it is a spirit rooted in a strong culture of independence, along with resolve for combat. Both countries however, also run the risk of losing civilian control of their respective military dominance, while simultaneously fighting an internal domestic battle among political and other special interests that have divergent national ambitions, which can result in the loss of territorial, economic, and cultural sovereignty.
America and Israel both share enemies, foreign and domestic, who seek to “wipe them off the map.” (Some of these enemies are consolidated within our own domestic national institutions. Our university system, for example, acts in significant ways as a network of political camps.)
In both countries, international law and order is threatened by radical ideology seeking to both undermine social order, and weaken or even destroy national economies. Israel’s realpolitik and self-preservation cause it to undertake immediate self-defense. The U.S. must do the same: a joint U.S.-IL war on terror means the eradication of Hamas and all its manner and forms of sponsorship, and at the same time, the suppression and neutralization of a highly organized radical leftism embedded within the U.S. political party apparatus. The two terror sources can be seen as a combined threat that must be comprehensively uprooted as a precondition to regional stabilities and international law and order.

The Zionist Israeli State, Hamas, and All Governments Everywhere, Do not Give a Damn About ‘The People’
October 17, 2023
By: Gary D. Barnett
You are not Christians. You are not Jews. You are not Muslims. And you certainly aren’t atheists. You all have the same god, and its name is ‘government.’ You’re all members of the most evil, insane, destructive cult in history. If there ever was a devil, the state is it. And you worship it with all your heart and soul.”
~ Larken Rose, The Iron Web
There is much to be said about the evil occurring in the Middle East, and the absolute heinous nature of the Israeli government and Hamas, the claimed ‘leadership’ (ruling class) of Israel and Palestine. The governing aspects of both are insanely wicked, psychopathic, and these entities are murderers of the innocent. They are tied at the hip, as Hamas was created, supported, and funded, by the Zionist Israeli government and its so-called ‘intelligence’ service Mossad, and constantly used against the people of both countries. But this is only the tip of the iceberg, as virtually all governments everywhere act in the same manner, even if to a lesser degree of terror in some cases. In fact, the U.S. government, its CIA, and others are in full support of Israel, to the great detriment of all these countries.
After much research, it seems brutally obvious that this situation in Israel was long-planned, as is most always the case, was almost certainly a false flag attack, meant to get the backing of the Israeli people and much of the western world, so that they would accept and support the genocide of the 2 million Palestinian people in Gaza; mostly unarmed, undefended, women and children. Many of the reports and claims of brutality in Israel by the complicit media, have been exposed as lies, but if that is any surprise to anyone, I would be amazed. Certainly, any acts of violence and death of civilians on either side is atrocious, but much has been misrepresented in order to justify the slaughter and murder of the defenseless people of Gaza, who are locked inside a walled concentration camp patrolled by the Israeli military. Most every claim has become suspect, and in essence, these claimed acts of terror could have only occurred if that was the desired plan of the Israeli ruling class all along. This is no surprise, it was no accident, or breach of Israeli security, as the only way this could have happened in my view, was if it was a premeditated and managed plot to bring about the elimination of Palestine, by using and sacrificing the Israeli people as well, and possibly to also bring about a larger-scale regional or world war involving Iran and Russia.
Israel’s government and military have committed many acts of terror, false flags, conspiracy, bombings, aggressive war, and murder against those in the Middle East, as well as against the U.S., Britain, and others around the world. This statement is factual, but is not meant to absolve those mentioned of the same crimes against humanity, especially given the history of the murderous policies of the U.S. and British empires, along with their western allies. It has always been my position that the U.S. government and its military, including the CIA, and every complicit bureaucracy, have been the worst and most aggressive warmongering of all nation states in history, and Israel has been complicit and intimately involved in much of that carnage as well for decades.
This situation today is pure evil, and could lead to events that could change the world in very disastrous and deadly ways for all; even to such an extent as to threaten mankind. But that leads us to the real problem in all our lives, and exposes the biggest threat to the human population, which is any and all central authority, governments, and rule. You see, no government cares in the least about the people, as those who choose to rule are monsters bent only on money, power, and control over those it dominates. They do not give a damn about what they consider to be the “useless eaters,” and treat all as sheep to be herded into submission and compliance, or slaughtered for the sole benefit of the agendas of the State.
In this current horrifying onslaught of innocents, the people in Gaza are the initial target, but this will only lead to more murderous attacks against innocents in the future. None of us are safe so long as these heinous governments are allowed to exist at all. This is what needs to be fully understood by the seemingly helpless masses who continue to rely on governments to guide, dominate, and control them.
The most prevalent attitude today among the people of this earth is uncertainty, which leads to indifference. It seems only the very few are willing to face reality, while nearly the entirety of populations choose voluntarily to rely on a master’s plan for their lives. Each of us is capable of so much more, but courage to accept the truth is lacking, and this brings about an apathetic attitude so powerful that it disallows the natural state of man; which is freedom. As Carl Yung put it:
“Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakes.”
Life is not about bending to the will of others, it is not about outside influence and opinion, society’s expectations, peer pressure, or fear. All power as Nietzsche so correctly stated, lies with self, not with others, and self-determination brings one to a place of confidence instead of a place of submission and compliance. The natural state of the individual is to gain power over self, but never to seek power over others. Those who choose the latter, any and all who choose to rule, have succumbed to psychopathy, and should be considered the scourge of the earth. They only appear strong because those they rule are weak. All responsibility lies with each of us, and never relies on collective madness.
We live in a world of authority. We live in a world where some claim to hold truth, and to possess great knowledge, but it is only their knowledge and their truth alone, as they cannot possess all knowledge. Not one on earth can know but an infinitesimal amount of what there is to know. In other words, no individual knows anything of what there is to know. We are each and every one of us unique individuals, we are not drones to be used and controlled, but there are those who pretend to be all-knowing, and who claim to hold the ultimate truths, and who desire to rule as masters of all domains. All authority of one over another is absurd, as we are autonomous beings, and not meant to be ruled. Blind obedience is what ‘authority’ seeks, and only depraved monsters hold to such insanity as this.
What is happening to the Palestinian people, and to some of the Israeli people, is but a preview of what can and will happen to the rest of you. To ignore this, is to abandon all logic and reason. Americans long ago abandoned all freedom, and are headed for disaster. Look deeply into what has happened these past few years, look deeply around the world, and understand that all tyranny outside will soon be tyranny inside. The only escape is to eliminate all government rule, to never comply, to never allow your lives to be controlled by others who claim false superiority over you, to never support any government or State aggression of any kind, and to question absolutely everything.
“Action is hope. There is no hope without action.”

The Risks We Face in a World Gone Mad: State Narratives Are Always Lies
October 21, 2023
By: Gary D. Barnett
“People do not expect to find chastity in a whorehouse. Why, then, do they expect to find honesty and humanity in government, a congeries of institutions whose modus operandi consists of lying, cheating, and if need be, murdering those who resist?”
~ H. L. Menchen
(Note: All apologies to prostitutes, who are far above any politician)
I think it appropriate to outline some of the multitude of risks we face in this world consumed by lies. The dishonesty pursued and perpetuated by all government, uses false cause and effect in order to not only fool the people, but to use the initial lie of cause in order to gain the premeditated evil effect they seek. This is without question, as any viewing of history, past or present, will certainly bear out, as we live in a time of pure deceit, lies, manipulation, control, terror, and murder by the State; all States.
Let us reflect on some of the atrocities that have befallen us, the fault of which certainly falls on the ruling class of oligarchs, politicians, and their brutal enforcers in the police, military, and hideous so-called ‘intelligence’ services. But it also falls on all those who make up the masses, who have allowed this to happen without active resistance. This indifference is more acute today on a global scale, than at any other time in history. This is not only disheartening, but completely pathetic.
First, it is important to point out that these atrocities committed over the span of human existence by governments and rulers, with the assistance and allowance of the general populations, say little about the supposed good of man. Yes, many have been fooled, but how can so many be fooled for so long; thousands of years in fact? This situation seems impossible, but one look at today should quiet any who still believe that most men desire to be free and without aggression. Certainly, the masses have been purposely dumbed down and indoctrinated, so that less resistance is evident, but once again, this was voluntarily accepted by general populations, so honesty and logic would indicate that if only a minor majority dissented, said no to governing structures, no to aggression, and would not support any violent activity, aggression, or orders mandated by the State, the tyranny would end very quickly. Sadly, that has never happened, and therefore, we find ourselves in the worst possible situation, and one that guarantees the most deadly risk to our lives.
Because evil has always been with us, because rulers have always chosen to lord over others, because war has been the health of the State since the beginning, it is necessary that we look only at recent times when tyranny on a worldwide scale advanced everywhere, and all at once, indicating a completely coordinated effort by the global governing cult.
So we begin in 2020, when the biggest push for world domination by the few began in earnest. This was the time, and still is in many regards, of the fake ‘covid’ scam, and the bioweapon injections dishonestly referred to as ‘vaccinations.’ This false-flag event brought nationwide and worldwide lockdowns, all in concert. Mandated or forced ‘distancing’ from family, friends, and neighbors, mandated mask-wearing, forced quarantines, and isolation from cherished loved ones was enforced with a vengeance in many cases. Businesses were ordered closed around this nation and the world, except of course for those multi-billion dollar corporations, and ‘defense’ (offence) contractors said by the State to be ‘essential.’ Job loss was horrendous, as so many were eliminated temporarily, or fired, as many businesses closed due to this extreme tyranny, and many jobs were permanently lost.
On the heels of this madness, injection of poison became mandatory if job security was to be kept. These toxic, ‘experimental,’ life-changing, and extremely deadly shots were pushed on all populations, and in many cases, were forced, even at times by violent means, and without consent. This evil has caused massive health risk, sickness, paralysis, heart problems, stroke, blood clots, and death. In addition, and due to mRNA/DNA altering, and lethal nano-particle inundation, no one knows for certain what the long-term adverse effects will bring, what control will be implemented from outside the body by technocrats, or how much mass death will result.
In the midst of this totally immoral attack on humanity, economies were purposely destroyed, fake money creation was rampant, and therefore inflation went ballistic, affecting most everyone. The resulting price increases have been devastating, but this is only the very beginning. Food prices soared as supplies were intentionally cut, supply lines decimated, home prices doubled or tripled in a short period of time, effectively closing off home ownership to most normal people.
With this came pre-planned rioting, the burning of cities, looting, theft, gangs of criminals calling themselves Black Lives Matter and Antifa, committing acts of terror. Now, organized gangs of thieves are allowed to destroy and steal without any risk of prosecution, squatters are protected while property owners are abused. Civil unrest is widespread, and crime is skyrocketing. Many do not feel safe in their own homes or on the streets of their towns and cities. This has all been accepted and sanctioned by this government scum, which intentionally condones and allows such behavior.
Then there was the government’s and media’s push for illicit behavior, the staged transgender movement, destruction of all males, especially white males, to be followed by the destruction of females as well, so as to have a ‘gender-neutral’ society. The airwaves, sporting events, media publications and promotion, political support; all worldwide and all at once, were in lockstep concerning this insanity of a so-called movement that is only a fraction of 1% of any population. It is an obvious attempt to advance agendas of division, and to at the same time undermine all morality of the bulk of societies; that is if any morality has survived the onslaught of this demented hysteria.
We have had multiple suspicious train derailments with horrific chemical spills, intentionally set fires (arson) or microwave-caused destruction worldwide, in places like California, Canada, Hawaii, Greece, Turkey, China, and many, many others. Metal and chemical spraying to supposedly block sunlight is ongoing, and is in every corner of the planet. Weather engineering is rampant it seems, manipulating extreme events blamed on fake, manmade ‘climate change.’
The digitization of life is ongoing, as monetary systems and fake fiat currency systems are meant to fail in favor of fully trackable digital currency. Central banks worldwide are completely onboard, and the destruction and elimination of cash and real money is never-ending. Central bank digital currency, (CBDC fake money) meant only for control over humanity, is advancing continuously, and most seem unconcerned. The widespread implementation of this in and of itself, would eliminate freedom.
Then there is as always war. Most recently, the escalation of a fake war was undertaken in Ukraine, which looks to be a U.S. and CIA operation, with involvement by the Israeli government and Mossad. I think the same is not only likely, but certain, with this false-flag attack in Israel. It is impossible to know all the truth, because the lies inundate all news, and political conversations. Sufficed to say, this is exactly the plan, as this horrible situation is leading to mass genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza, all by design. But the risk is so much more deadly, as we now face regional war in the entire Middle East, and very possibly, a new world war involving Iran. Due to the evil U.S. warmongering government and unconditional support of Zionist Israel, this could vastly escalate, involving not only Iran, and other Middle Eastern States, but also NATO forces, Russia, and China. Nothing but hell could come from such evil as this.
Keep in mind, that this is but a very partial list of atrocities that have been committed in just the past four years. Much happened before, and much will happen in the future, and this can only cause threat, terror, and death to millions if not billions of people. Has that been the plan all along, or is everything a consequence of unexpected events? The former is all that makes sense, and this should be understood by any who still retain any ability to reason and think critically, which very sadly, is still only the very few.
The State and those who control it, lies incessantly, cheats, steals, perverts, incarcerates, tortures, and murders any in its way. It has no use for any people, is evil to the core, and will use as fodder any and all of humanity in order to advance its nefarious globalist agendas. Evil should be squelched, it should be eliminated wherever it appears, and taking sides of States or governments in brutal war, is the antithesis of any advancement of freedom, sanity, and morality. Any reinforcement of government or the State, or its policies and wars, is condoning evil, and therefore is evil. Yes, there are always great causalities, mostly innocent, but by taking sides, support is being given to the monsters who perpetrate terror. Individuals should be on the side of self and other innocent individuals, and never with the State or nation-state.
No political solution exists, and in fact, can only make things much worse. Asking your master to save you, to reform, to lessen his power, to investigate himself, and to actually punish himself, is the mindset of a fool, so supporting any politician, any election, or any State, is the manifestation of a fallen and enslaved people. Trump, Biden, Netanyahu, or any other political trash, will never solve these problems, so quit giving them the power they seek to destroy you. Instead, destroy them and their ability to rule over you.
“The authorities? The authorities?” I laughed. “Why is it people think the authorities are some form of gods with either great justice or great, cunning evil, rather than the same plodding fools they see in their daily lives, and most of all in their mirrors?”

Israel Needs to Be Larger, Not Smaller
By Jerold Levoritz
October 22, 2023
Anyone holding the idea that Israel needs to accept a two-state solution to survive has not thought through the problem. Or perhaps they have indeed thought through the problem and have decided that a two-state solution is a step along the way to dissolving Israel as a state of the Jews, which is just fine for them but not for the Jews.
What would be the result to Israel if it were reduced to its ‘67 borders? At that time, the narrowest distance from its eastern border to the Mediterranean Sea was less than 10 miles…actually, closer to 9 miles. Before the ‘67 Six-Day War, to get from Jerusalem to Beit Shan near the Sea of Galilee required leaving Jerusalem, going west towards Tel Aviv, traveling up the Coast Road to Haifa, turning East to Tiberias, and then south to Beit Shan, a trip of 4-5 hours. The military risk to the country was being cut in two at that choke point.
When the question arose as to why the town of Dimona was chosen as the site of Israel’s nuclear facility, Israel offered the following explanation: Though Dimona is only a few miles east of the Egyptian border and a few miles west of the Jordanian border, it is the point in Israel that was furthest from any border.
The hills of Judea and Samaria run north-south along the top of the Jordan Hills, with the Jordan River at the bottom of the Rift Valley to the east. The hills naturally sit above the lowlands to the west. Before the ’67 War, most of Israel’s population sat below those hills to the west, as is still the case today. There is one hill east of Ben Gurion airport that can see the takeoff and landing of every aircraft, making them easy targets. Giving that hill to the Arabs would be similar to a cow raising its neck to the slaughterer so he can make a better cut.
These points address the topography of pre-’67 Israel and its effect upon the lives of the Jews. No one who wishes a secure future for Israel should think of returning to those suicidal borders.
There’s also the sociological aspect of integrating Arabs and Jews. Anyone seeking a two-state solution is suggesting that perennial conflict is their goal. Jews and Arabs need to be substantially separated geographically. The Jordan River seems logical, with those Arabs remaining in Judea and Samaria becoming citizens of Jordan. They would not be stateless and they’d be unable to interfere with the development of a majority Jewish state.
A Jewish state is the only way to prevent repeated occurrences of October 7’s slaughter. While Jews are somewhat indifferent towards Arabs, Arabs have hated Jews since Mohammad walked the earth. The problem is that, while Jews can live side-by-side with Arabs, being indifferent or befriending them on an individual level, traditional Arabs will merely hate Jews when the Jews are strong but will attempt to slaughter them when the Jews are relatively weak.
This brutality is supported by Mohammad’s behavior. If Mohammad slaughtered Jews 1300 years ago, today’s Arabs consider it laudable behavior and will try to do the same. And, of course, Mohammad slaughtered Jews to the last man at Khaybar (except for those who agreed to pay the Jizya tax or converted to Islam). He waited until he had gained enough strength to beat them and then acted despite the interim peace.
One must also consider Iran, the key villain in this mess. Let me urge you to explore the following two links that may be eye-opening for those on the fringes of this conflict: 1) There is no question that, for ideological reasons, there are those in the United States government who are strengthening Iran to the detriment of Israel. 2) These same people are strengthening Hizb’Allah in Lebanon at the expense of Israel as well.
These links imply that Israel is considered expendable except to the Jews themselves and others with a conscience and a memory. Therefore, Israel must resist physical compression and cultural suppression.
To this, I must add that the continued existence of Israel as a state of the Jews is imperative for the entire world. The flourishing of Israel prevents world dominance by globalists who wish uniform entropy and powerlessness among all populations. This goal of uniformity is so lacking in sense that, if permitted to do so in the future, people will write entire scholarly volumes about its stupidity.
Israel is a bulwark against globalism and enforced uniformity. That’s because it’s a fine example of a nation that is both tied to the past through Judaism and is responsive to changing socio-economic conditions that require flexibility. It has not needed the presumptions of globalism, Marxism, or even capitalism to succeed. At every choice point, it tinkers without fear and restrictions until it finds solutions that work. Israel’s independence and success explain much of the antipathy directed at the state of the Jews. I call this antipathy ‘anti-Semitism.’
This week, in every synagogue in Israel and around the world, we read the section called Noah, which tells how God decides to destroy all living creatures except for Noah and his family. Men had become so corrupt they no longer merited continued existence. The Hebrew word for corruption is ‘Hamas.’ Yes, Hamas was and is the pinnacle of corruption. Apparently, things are no different today than they were in pre-flood history.

The Two Big Myths about the Middle East
By Milli Sands
October 23, 2023
Propagation of myths has consequences. Let us examine a couple and see where they have led.
Myth 1. The State of Palestine
This so-called state is like Brigadoon, with two exceptions:
a. It never appeared.
b. It refuses to go away.
Neither a country nor a state of Palestine has ever existed.
The Kingdom of Judah is named after Judah, the fourth son of Jacob and Leah. The Kingdom of Judah was formed after the death of King Solomon, when the ten northern tribes of Israel rebelled against Solomon’s son, Rehoboam. The two southern tribes, Judah and Benjamin, remained loyal to Rehoboam, and they formed the Kingdom of Judah.
Etymologically, “Jew,” Judah,” and “Judea” are related.
late 12c., Giw, Jeu, “a Jew” (ancient or modern), one of the Jewish race or religion,” from Anglo-French iuw, Old French giu (Modern French Juif), from Latin Iudaeum (nominative Iudaeus), from Greek Ioudaios, from Aramaic (Semitic) jehudhai (Hebrew y’hudi) “a Jew,” from Y’hudah ”Judah,” literally “celebrated,” name of Jacob’s fourth son and of the tribe descended from him.
We are dealing here with the land of the Jews.
The Kingdom of Judah lasted for about 350 years, until it was conquered by the Babylonians in 586 BCE. The Babylonians destroyed the city of Jerusalem and exiled the Jewish people to Babylon. However, the Jewish people eventually returned to their homeland, and they rebuilt their community in Judea.
Following their return, the Jews of Judea were variously ruled by themselves, the Persians, the Greeks, and themselves again.
Enter the Romans.
In 63 B.C., Judea was conquered by the Roman Republic. Judea was initially ruled as a client kingdom, but it was later made a Roman province. Roman rule in Judea was often marked by tension and conflict between the Jewish people and the Roman authorities.
In 66, the Jewish people revolted against Roman rule. The revolt lasted for seven years and ended with the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem.
The name Judea was changed to Syria Palaestina by the Roman emperor Hadrian in 135, following the Bar Kokhba revolt. The revolt was a Jewish uprising against Roman rule, and Hadrian crushed it. It resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Jews. In an effort to suppress Jewish identity, Hadrian renamed the province. The name “Palaestina” was derived from the Philistines, a people who had lived in the region centuries earlier. The addition of the name “Syria” was intended to emphasize the province’s status as a Roman province.
Renaming was an attempt to render extinct the Jewish nature and history of the land and to humiliate the restive Jews. It was a reminder of the Roman Empire’s power. The name Syria Palaestina remained in use until the 7th century, when the region was conquered by the Arabs.
The Arabs ruled until the Crusaders took land back, then lost it to Arabs, who lost it to the Ottomans (a Turkic people) in 1517.
As a consequence of their loss in WWI, the Turks gave control of the region known as Palestine to the British n 1917.
Between 1917 and 1920, Palestine was under the control of the British military after their conquest of the region.
In December 1917, British forces under General Edmund Allenby captured Jerusalem, ending Ottoman rule.
From 1917-1920, Palestine was occupied by the British and governed by the Occupied Enemy Territory Administration (OETA), part of the British military.
In 1920, Britain was officially granted control of Palestine by the San Remo Conference. The British Mandate for Palestine then governed the region from 1920 until 1948.
Between the defeat of the Ottoman Turks in 1917 and the formal start of the British Mandate in 1920, Palestine was under British military occupation and administration. It did not constitute a formal state entity.
According to the resolutions of the San Remo Conference held in April 1920:
Britain was allocated the mandate for Palestine after the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in WWI.
The preamble of the mandate’s text stated that Britain was responsible for putting into effect the 1917 Balfour Declaration in Palestine.
The Balfour Declaration had declared Britain’s support for the establishment of a “national home for the Jewish people” in Palestine, without prejudicing the civil or religious rights of the existing non-Jewish communities.
Article 2 of the San Remo resolution specifically stated that Britain shall be responsible for enacting the Balfour Declaration and facilitating Jewish immigration and settlement within Palestine.
Article 5 restricted the sale of state lands to Jews, meaning that the Jewish national home would be formed through purchased settlement on private lands.
Article 6 called for facilitating Jewish immigration under suitable conditions while ensuring the rights of all inhabitants were not prejudiced.
The San Remo Conference resolutions required Britain to facilitate the creation of a Jewish national home in Mandatory Palestine per the policies of the Balfour Declaration.
Before moving on:
- There never was a Palestinian state or country.
- There never was rule by anything called a Palestinian.
- The land of Mandatory Palestine was to be the Jewish national homeland in an area occupied continuously by Jews for millennia.
- Jewish rule and occupancy antedated the advent of the newcomer religion Islam by millennia.
- Mandatory Palestine, set aside for the National Homeland of the Jews, had its territory diminished by around seven eighths, in contravention of their mandatory obligations by the British to create Transjordan (now commonly known as Jordan).
Myth 2. Palestinians
No state, no nation, no people. Palestine never existed, hence Palestinians never existed, do not exist. Full stop.
Don’t believe me? Take it from the mouth of a bona fide Palestinian terrorist.
Zuheir Mohsen, leader of the Palestinian terror group As Saiqa, explained in a 1970 interview with James Dorsey for the Dutch newspaper Trouw why the “Palestinian people” had been invented:
The Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct “Palestinian people” to oppose Zionism.
Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan.
There are many more myths — e.g., “land for peace,” “the West Bank,” “it is a territorial conflict,” etc.
But we can stop here and get on to the ultimate point of this essay.
Those of us who follow AT, and especially those who contribute, should display a certain integrity of thought in our approaches. Anyone who has followed this site for a week or two knows that we lament the overtaking of language by the left and its use as a weapon. Time after time, we complain about how the loss of truth in language packaging has served to propagandize the public.
Lamenting is an action plans as feckless as hoping. If we want to do as we say and walk the walk we claim as our path, then we should act accordingly.
Our language should reflect the precision we assert is missing. We should not use the term “Palestine” to describe Gaza, Judea and Samaria, Israel, or any other territory. We should not refer to the so-called Palestinians as a real people. We should not refer to Judea and Samaria as the “West Bank” (a term basically invented after 1967).
Myths have consequences. In the context of the myths presented here, the consequences are the slaughter of Jews, the rise of antisemitism in such frenzy that there are calls for the extermination of the Jews, and the peril of a broad-ranging international war.
We lead by taking action. We should act as we say. Otherwise, we are hypocrites.

Hamas and the Politics of Hell
By Douglas Hackleman
October 25, 2023
A profound irony of Israel’s latest grim suffering is that the knife- and gun-wielding Palestinian (Hamas-sponsored) terrorists and their leftist cheerleaders in the American academy reveal a deplorable collusion between what ordinarily would be antagonists.
The collaborative condemnation by the Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee that held “the Israeli regime entirely responsible for” the October 7 slaughter suggests a bewildering collusion between far right and far left: fundamentalist Islamists supported by woke, neo-Marxist radicals.
A rebarbative synthesis
It is as if, on the fiftieth anniversary of the 1973 Yom Kippur War that pitted Israel against Egypt and Syria, Hegel’s dialectic (actually Johann Fichte’s) overcame the diverging ethos of antagonists. Thesis: Islamofascism; Antithesis: neo-Marxism (submission to Allah versus a godless war on exploitation). The rebarbative synthesis: death to Jews.
It appears there is a metastatic malignancy perfusing elite universities all across the country, as the emerging generation of America’s foreboding political future (young Democratic Socialists of America) celebrated in Times Square amid reports of the beheading of toddlers and the rape and murder of young women in their parents’ homes. Can it really be that Ivy League and other prominent universities are graduating Nazi youth? Are there in fact neo-Nazis reimagining the Barack Obama/Joe Biden wing of the Democrat party?
Matriculating radicals
A perspicuous rationale is needed to explain the pitiless way the woke Harvard student radicals blamed the victim for the latest Hamas intifada. Why, sane people want to understand, do Ivy League students hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all the unfolding barbarity?
We are struck by the irony of Harvard admissions officers recruiting applicants who “have demonstrated concern for others ... can be graceful ... under pressure ... [and] open to learning new ideas. [I]t [is] important for you to treat others with kindness and demonstrate that you care for others in addition to caring for yourself.”
Left-leaning moral concerns
As the research of Jonathan Haidt in The Righteous Mind illuminates, the left’s two (almost exclusive) moral concerns — for care/harm and fairness/cheating — which, Haidt explains, “means equality to the left but proportionality to the right” (emphasis added), almost guarantees that Harvard’s students will empathize with their partisan professors’ perspective on the Middle East.
Taught by impressive and persuasive progressive professors to see the Palestinian issue through Haidt’s care/harm, fairness/cheating lens of lamb versus lion, rabbit versus wolf, or (ironically) David versus Goliath, the weaponized professorial casuistry often tracks the calumnies recited by Amnesty International: that Israel is a Zionist, apartheid bully state that (with the backing of American money and weapons) has swaggered between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea for seventy-five years.
What young person of idealistic bent doesn’t root for an underdog? Unfortunately, this saga is about two very different underdogs that appear to be fighting over the same bone.
Given that openness is considered a particularly progressive personality trait, one would expect a commitment to the diversity of ideas in academe. Instead, The Harvard Crimson 2022 survey of faculty found that “more than 80 percent of Harvard faculty respondents characterized their political leanings as ‘liberal’ or ‘very liberal.’” Sixteen percent labeled themselves “moderate,” while “only 1 percent of respondents stated they are ‘conservative.’”
Progressive student psychology
Jonathan Haidt explains the students’ likely primary moral concerns for care/harm, fairness/cheating. But what explains their wildly inhumane demonization of the innocent victims of utter savagery?
The answer is a matter of psychology, about human tendencies that have been understood and written into the characters of plays and novels long before Freud gave them a nomenclature, before human behavior became a clinical profession or an academic discipline.
The Harvard student groups that published their deplorable statement blaming the Israeli victims responded in a way that is consistent with their prejudices and philosophical assumptions about humanity. They believe, in the abstract, that all human beings are basically good...except, perhaps, recently realized (post–George Floyd) exceptions such as white (especially conservative) Americans and Israelis.
There is an unquestioning belief by these young, care/harm, fairness/cheating idealists that Hamas terrorists — what they have been conditioned to believe are only dispossessed freedom fighters — are just as righteous as the Harvard students consider themselves to be. The students project their own relative decency onto the objects of their political concern. And their feelings, even if not articulated, are very real.
Preposterous translation
When the radical young Ivy-Leaguers hear about or see video of the savagery of innocents by the barbarism of Hamas terrorists, their reaction is determined by a translation.
Not only are they predisposed to see the Palestinians as surrounded by merciless gorgons, but they interpret the pitiless terrorism of Hamas as a desperate, understandable response to decades of intolerable abuse by Israeli masters. The students think: What unspeakable degradation these poor Hamas freedom fighters and their loved ones must continually suffer to be willing to risk their lives and the contempt of the world to express their agony in such sadistic acting out!
Absurd and unreasonable as they obviously are, the Harvard student radicals reimagined the Israeli victims as vile oppressors and the Hamas barbarians as recipients of torture beyond toleration.
In short, the students who support Hamas are identifying with Hamas “freedom fighters,” enabling the Ivy-Leaguers not only to explain away, but even to celebrate their sadistic actions.
Educational dereliction
The students’ care/harm and fairness/cheating moral outrage is purely in defense of the Palestinians, but their assumption that Palestinians are good and Israelis are bad is due largely to the imbalance of their Harvard education. This monolithic distortion in the political posture of American university faculty is to blame for so many of our increasingly violent political divisions.
What is a poor (actually often wealthy) Harvard student to make of life’s political dilemmas, especially when he is not taught to think critically, not taught to grapple with contrasting points of view, and often encouraged to ignore views that do not fit his leftist narrative? Sometimes they just close their eyes, plug their ears, and yell.
So many young Ivy-Leaguers are unaware that the perfect is the enemy of the good, informed primarily by partisan dogma, unable to reason from cause to effect, incapable of paying it forward, and willing to see Hamas only as the champions of downtrodden Palestinian refugees. So what do the radically woke Hamas-loving students really want?
In their ignorant, soft-souled, underdog-loving, decency-projecting hearts, they demand heaven on earth — the politics of hell.
Hamas-loving Harvard student radicals illuminate a criminal neglect: the failure of the American educational complex to represent history with reasonable balance. This dereliction of U.S. higher education, especially since WWII, is particularly evident in its failure to inform students how in the recent century, men with utopian and totalitarian impulses (dreamers with power) slaughtered scores of millions of human beings that the woke generation is hardly aware of.
As Whitaker Chambers wrote in 1961, “[i]t is idle to talk about preventing the wreck of Western civilization. It is already a wreck from within.”

The Bankruptcy of the Victim Ideology
By Christopher Chantrill
October 24, 2023
After our educated lords and rulers rose to power through the revolutions of the 17th and 18th centuries the great question was: how should they rule?
The answer, that crystallized in the century between 1850 and 1950, was that our rulers would fight for the victims. And what a parade of victims: workers, women, Blacks, LGBT. And also the Palestinians.
The fate of the Palestinians is instructive. After the defeat of the Arab attack on the Jews in Palestine and the creation of the State of Israel by the victorious Jews in 1948, the Arab Palestinians went on welfare, supported as helpless victims by the UN, the U.S., and other interested parties. And there they have lingered ever since.
My question is: what good has all the tender care by our victim-adjacent rulers done for the Palestinians? I would say that our beloved rulers have Made Things Worse. Meanwhile the Palestinians have chosen leaders that promised to fight the Israelis and return them to the lands that they know belong to them.
There is a sophisticated word for this kind of politics: Irredentism. I first encountered the word decades ago from reading the Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises. He told me that Eastern Europe was a morass of irredentism, with the people of every province or country fervently believing that some borderland presently ruled by the other guys really belonged to them. I only got to learn the details in The Other Europe by E. Garrison Walters. Transylvania, Moldova, Silesia, Moravia, Wallachia, Galicia: the list goes on and on. The Jewish Mises himself came from Lemberg in Galicia in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which is now Lvov in Ukraine. He ended up in the United States, via Austria and Switzerland.
Irredentism is great for sauntering politicians: it keeps the people riled up, bellowing for revenge, and it keeps the politicians in power. But whatabout the ordinary people? What do they get out of it? Not so much.
Here at home in the USA, victim politics works great for our ruling class, but not so much for the victims, as you may have noticed. Life is good for the educated class, but not so great for the rest of us.
Our ruling class promises to fight. It promised to fight for the workers against the employers. It promised to fight for the women against the patriarchy. It promised to fight for blacks against the racists. It promised to fight for the gays against the homophobes.
But let's think this through. Does it really help the workers to fight the employers? Or is it true to say that workers and employers need each other and would benefit from working together rather than fighting? Does it really help to fight the patriarchy? Or is it true to say that men and women need each other, because children need a mother and a father: their mother and their father? Does it really help to point out racists behind every tree? Or would it help for the cops to subdue the gangbangers and the shoplifters and for the activists to get a job and let ordinary Blacks build lives for themselves in safety?
More and more, I am convinced, politics does nothing except conjure up enemies where none exist, and loot the economy to pay off the supporters.
These days the rulers are fighting for the transgenders against women. Because? Because transgenders are victims! Yes, I know: somewhere on Earth, the evil patriarchs are cheering.
Right now, I am reading Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt's Political Theology. If I understand any of it, I understand that the way that academics construct political doctrines in our time is more or less identical to the process by which theologians constructed systems of religious belief in the olden time. In the olden time theologians convinced us that the king was God's anointed. Today, we are told, political activists are next to godliness because they fight for justice for the oppressed. And just as God wrought miracles in the olden time, our political activists are all just about to demonstrate the miracle of social justice in our time.
The problem with politics is that it cannot get beyond its obsession with the enemy, whether kings attacking the king next door or activists fighting the White oppressors. And, of course, every ruling class demands a princely ransom for its fight against the enemy, a ransom that comes out of the lives and earnings of ordinary citizens. That is why the West has seen populist uprisings against the educated ruling class in recent decades. While the ruling class pays professors and DEI administrators to come up with new ways to advertise its compassion for the victims, ordinary people worry abo how to pay for the next fill-up at the gas pump.

The Israel-Hamas War Is Already Pushing The Great Reset Agenda
By Kit Knightly
October 22, 2023
A few days ago we published an article discussing how the Great Reset agenda is still moving forward behind the scenes, while the headlines are full of Israel-Palestine.
But it’s also true that, in its thirteen days of existence, the war itself has already pushed that agenda forward as well.
Censorship
Normalising the suppression of dissent and creating a culture of fear around free expression are a major part of the Great Reset, after all the other steps are so much easier if you outlaw inconvenient protests.
And, naturally, calls for the suppression of freedom of expression have sprouted up everywhere since the war started. We covered this in our article “Israel-Hamas “war” – another excuse to shut down free speech”
Since that article was published this campaign has gained momentum.
European Union Commissioner Thierry Breton sent warning letters out to every major social media platform, claiming they needed to “combat disinformation” regarding Israel and threatening them with fines.
In yet another blow to the “China is on our side” narrative, Chinese video-sharing service TikTok has eagerly agreed to “combat disinformation”.
Students from Harvard and Berkeley have been threatened with “blacklisting” for voicing support for Palestine.
German and French police are breaking up pro-Palestine demonstrations, while – in both the UK and US – there are calls to arrest people for waving Palestinian flags, or deport those who “support Hamas”.
Creating a culture of fear, making people afraid to express themselves or their political opinions, is just one of the many things that Covid, Ukraine, Climate Change and now Israel have in common.
Facial Recognition Software
It’s always curious when a supposedly “left field” story breaks and ties in neatly with an issue already in the news.
The rise of facial recognition software – a threat to everyone’s right to privacy – is one such.
Before the “surprise attack”, Israel’s use of facial recognition technology was called “Automated apartheid” by Amnesty International. In the US, states have been opposing the use of FRT for a long time, with some introducing bills to ban it outright.
Now, however, Israel has allegedly been using facial recognition tech to identify dead and wounded. The Jerusalem Post calls it a “tool to help Israel recover from Hamas’ war”.
And in a highly curious coincidence –
three days before the alleged “surprise attack” , Sweden’s government was reported to be “forced” to increase its usage due to “gang violence”.
In the UK this timed up neatly with the government’s plans to upload every passport photo on their database to a facial recognition program [we covered that here].
The plans sparked muted protest, mostly because nobody really heard about it. Then, on Saturday, during the pro-Palestine march in London, Metropolitan police enforced section 60AA powers, requiring attendees not to cover their faces, to facilitate live FRT. (There goes Sweden by the way, another of the “good guy” countries.)
Nobody has said a word against it. Suddenly what was “Orwellian” back in April is now – thanks to the latest war – totally fine.
Police have introduced Section 60AA powers at the pro-Palestine demonstrations in Central London.
They have asked protesters to remove any face-coverings so their identity cannot be concealed, reports @AmeliaHarperTV

The fact the same people demanding no one cover their faces now were screaming “wear a mask!” for the last three years is the most poetic of ironies.
And, just as ironic but a lot more tragic, the same people who opposed the use of this technology during lockdown protests, will cheer it on for “terrorist sympathizers”, which brings us neatly to point three…
Dividing the Alt-Media
The independent media was the biggest reason the “pandemic” narrative fell short of its grandiose aims. The narrative lost it’s momentum in the face of a pushback from solidified resistance from right across the political spectrum – spanning the anarchist left to the libertarian right.
A major arm of the globalist strategy since then has been undermining that solidarity and the reach of alt-media outlets, attacking their funding, limiting their reach and – most obviously – sewing discord with divisive distractions.
It was no accident that the Russian invasion of Ukraine broke Covid resistance right down the middle, splintering it along old-fashioned fault lines.
The Israel-Hamas “war” has already broken those two sides into two more. Collective action and independent thought have been banished to the shadow realm in favour of tribalism. People have been manipulated into abandoning an anti-globalist stance, choosing to staunchly defend the “good globalists” from the bad ones.
It hasn’t just broken the alliance of anti-lockdown/anti-vaccine dissenters but has also broken their principles and discredited their opinions.
Many – mostly on the conservative right – have forgotten that Israel was right at the forefront of the Covid lie, forgotten they were first to vaccinate and the first to use “green passes”, and have leapt to their defence (or, more accurately, jumped at the chance to push an anti-Islam agenda).
They now push for collective punishment and – as mentioned above – cheer on the quashing of free speech for “terrorist sympathizers”.
Consider Douglas Murray, for example, who is considered to be a “free speech absolutist”, but in the wake of the “surprise attack” is writing columns with headlines like this…
Why do we allow protests that glorify slaughter?
Whether these people were ever genuine in the protestation of freedom or not, their credibility on that front is now broken forever.
I think this tweet says it best:
https://i0.wp.com/assets.zerohedge.com/s...C242&ssl=1
“The multipolar world”
The flipside of the factionalism which continues to fracture the Covid sceptic movement is the concomitant promotion of the so-called “multipolar world”.
The fact that the ruling force of the world is a globalist elite which calls no state home was made brutally clear by the fake “pandemic”. A major objective of that globalist elite has since been to obliterate that fact from our collective mind.
A false narrative is being sold that the crumbling US Empire is “globalism” and that a rough axis of opposition exists in the form of Russia, China, Iran et al.
This narrative has been sold by both mainstream and alternate media since the start of Russia’s “special military operation”.
It is a simplistic binary good guy/bad guy narrative designed to push 2 years of full-scale global cooperation between these supposed “enemies” out of people’s minds.
Already the Hamas-Israel conflict is doing its part to further this deceptive narrative. It creates the impression of a world divided along well-worn (but increasingly meaningless) lines.
The pandemic made it clear the elites of the world are all following the same script.
War is designed to make us forget that fact.
And if it means a few thousand people have to die in the process – so what? The West and East were both happy to kill their own people with lockdowns and toxic jabs – so why not with missiles?
They are selling worn out Cold War memes to persuade you they are not your enemy – it’s those people “over there” – the Moslems, the Jews, the Russians…
…you can fill in as required.
North Korea has been blamed for supplying weapons to Hamas.
Iran is reported to have funded – even planned – the attack.
Even Russia, who traditionally strongly oppose any-and-all Islamic “terrorists”, are showing signs of compromising their usual “neutrality” on Palestine. They are sending aid shipments to Gaza, and mooting ceasefire resolutions to the UN Security Council (which the US instantly vetoed obviously).
For their trouble, Israeli MPs are threatening Russia with war live on RT.
In his address to the nation yesterday Joe Biden quite deliberately equated Putin’s Russia with Hamas. Ukrainian President Vlodomyr Zelensky did the same almost as soon as the “surprise attack” took place.
The global battle lines for a supposed “world war 3” are being drawn up.
All of this feeds the illusion that huge seismic ideological differences separate these nation states, when in reality they share the vast majority of New Normal goals.
Remember that both Israel and Hamas sacrificed their people on the altar of Pfizer. Any claims to care about civilian life now – from either side – must be met with the most absolute skepticism.
*
As you can see, Hamas’ “surprise attack” has put fresh momentum behind some of the NN goals that have been on the establishment’s to do list for a while. And that’s just so far, there are others that have not materialized yet but easily could.
There’s talk of a refugee crisis – increasing illegal immigration and stirring up more of that desired divisive rhetoric, whilst providing western governments with a blame-sponge for the financial destitution they have deliberately created.
Oil prices are already rising, any moment they could roll out the next “energy crisis”.
Maybe it will be Gulf nations embargoing Israel, or Western nations sanctioning whoever, but they are laying the groundwork. The Wall Street Journal warns of “echoes of 1973”, the US has sold off half of its reserves and might not be “ready for a crisis”.
Two stories from just this morning warn of a “potential crisis”.
If (when?) it comes it can (and almost certainly will) be immediately parlayed into serving the “climate change” agenda. We will told there is a silver lining because we’re “increasing our reliance on renewable energy”.
It’s an immense tangle of lies, but they all lead in the same direction.
There is already a lot of discussion, in alt-media circles, of the nature of Hamas. To what extent were they created by Israel, or at least allowed to happen? And how much does this extend to the “surprise attack” itself?
Some were calling it an “inside job” from the moment the news broke, and it does bear the usual hallmarks of your traditional “false flag” attack. Inexplicable “intelligence failures”, ignored warnings and delayed responses. Maybe it was a case of “let it happen on purpose” (LIHOP), or maybe they made it happen (MIHOP).
Who knows how far the elite go in stage managing the reality they need to push their plans on the world.
Whatever the truth of this situation, there’s no denying it’s already hard at work pushing a very familiar agenda.

Middle East Conflict and What Comes Next
By Doug Casey | International Man
October 26, 2023
International Man: The Middle East is on the precipice of the biggest regional war in generations.
What’s your take on the situation and where it’s headed?
Doug Casey: People forget that before World War I, when the Ottoman Empire controlled Palestine, there was very little ethnic or religious antagonism. There were small numbers of traditional, religiously oriented Jews in Palestine, but everybody minded their own business and got along.
The problem started with the Aliyahs. Large numbers of European Jews moved to Palestine as an ethnic/religious homeland. It resulted in the creation of the state of Israel in 1948.
For whatever reasons, tightly knit ethnic groups seem to want their own homelands. The Kurds, for instance, are spread among Syria, Turkey, Iraq, and Iran but don’t have an official homeland; that’s a big problem for the future. The Rohingyas, who are currently powerless Muslims in generally Buddhist Burma, have the same problem. Many AmerIndians throughout the Western Hemisphere have growing revanchist feelings, 500 years after the European conquest. What’s happening between the Israelis and the Palestinians is not unique.
Before Israel was founded, the Jews were pretty much in the same position as the Gypsies, another tightly knit but widely dispersed ethnic group.
At this point, Israel is a real country. The Jews say, “This land was ours from way back when God gave it to us.” And the Palestinians say, “Even your own Bible says that you don’t have a homeland.”
I don’t want to get into that. It’s insoluble. But, more important, it should be irrelevant to outsiders.
Our main interest is keeping the United States out of this thing. We’re 330 million people. About 7.6 million are Jews, and 3.6 million are Arab. The rest of us don’t want to have anything to do with what amounts to a Biblical domestic dispute that could easily turn into World War 3.
On the one hand, I say “a pox on both your houses” because they’re fomenting World War 3. On the other hand, I wish them both well. It’s just none of our business. For the US to take sides is insane and can only make things much, much worse.
I’m friendly towards Israel, if only because it represents Western values far more than do the Muslims. But I can’t see that it has a rosy future for at least two reasons. One, as Yassar Arafat once said, the Palestinians will win because their most effective weapon is the womb of the Palestinian woman. Demographics are on the side of the Palestinians. Not to mention that the Israelis are outnumbered 100-1 by hostile worldwide Muslims—it has to do with what the Prophet (or Allah) said in the Koran. Two, Israel has nuclear weapons. As can any Muslim government that wants them. The result will be like a knife fight in a phone booth.
International Man: Recently, two solid anarcho-capitalists, Saifedean Ammous, who comes from a Palestinian background, and Walter Block, who comes from a Jewish background, debated Israel-Palestine. Click here to watch it.
https://rumble.com/v2ck956-the-libertari...mmous.html
How do you view the Israel-Palestine conflict as an anarcho-capitalist?
Is there an ancap solution?
Doug Casey: The Block-Ammous debate is excellent and worth watching. Both of these guys are friends of mine. Walter’s been a friend for 40 years.
Incidentally, I’d say Saifedean won. Walter, who normally takes justifiable pride in being accurate and logical, is just factually wrong in saying that Palestine belonged to the Jews since biblical times. Groups have been stealing land from each other since Day One. How far back do you want to go to establish “group” ownership? Which, incidentally, doesn’t exist. Land should be something that’s individually owned. Nobody has a title going back 2,000+ years, although the Palestinians basically possessed it for perhaps 80% of that time.
At this point, I think it’s an insoluble problem. You just have to let these people work it out between themselves. It’s an unfortunate situation, but there are dozens like it around the world. We don’t have a dog in this fight. It’s none of our business. Actually, the US is the biggest problem in this. As in the Ukraine, the US Government is promising to take a regional dispute and turn it into WW3, with scores of smoking nuclear-bombed cities across the globe.
As far as what’s happened so far, it’s clear that Hamas is at fault. They launched an unprovoked attack on the Israelis. But it should be treated as a crime, not a casus belli with a military solution.
It’s very much like 9/11 in the US, which also should have been treated as a crime—not a reason to invade some primitive backwaters. Figure out who did it. Track down the perpetrators and make them answer for their crime. Punishing a country of millions for the acts of individuals or groups is counterproductive.
Invading Gaza, which contains over two million Palestinians, will notch the conflict way up. Gazans are certainly anti-Jewish, but they didn’t commit the crime. Elements of Hamas did. The Israelis should handle the crime the way they did in the 1972 Black September Munich massacre of 11 Israeli athletes.
The US picking sides guarantees that it will spin out of control. FWIW, the US almost always picks the wrong side. We did it in Vietnam; Hanoi now passes for a friend. We back criminal groups and regimes in South America and Africa all the time. Getting involved can only impoverish Americans, bankrupt and slaughter the locals, and make lots of new enemies.
International Man: Both sides of the conflict are engaged in an aggressive information war. It’s often challenging to tell fact from fiction.
https://internationalman.com/special-rep...-collapse/
Doug, you have traveled throughout much of the Middle East. What insights have you gleaned from this first-hand experience, and how does it contrast with what you see in the mainstream media?
Doug Casey: It’s very clear that the average Jew is anti-Arab and anti-Muslim. That’s just a fact for reasons that we don’t have to go into here. It’s also clear that the average Muslim is anti-Jew and anti-Israeli. That’s the way the cards have been dealt.
I don’t see how that’s going to change for at least two big reasons. One, they both want the same real estate. Two, lots of fanatics on both sides are stirring the pot. But it’s not up to us to decide who’s right and who’s wrong. Who’s good, and who’s evil? Who owns the land, or who doesn’t? It’s none of our business.
It’s not our problem. Taking sides in what amounts to a Hatfield-McCoy-type dispute—times several million—can only make it much, much worse.
International Man: It’s impossible to hear a discussion about the Middle East without the word “terrorism” coming up.
Doug, you’ve often emphasized the importance of using precise language. What are your thoughts on the use and meaning of the word terrorism?
Doug Casey: If John Hunt and I ever write the fourth Charles Knight book, Terrorist, I’ll go into this in some detail.
The fact is, believe it or not, there are over 100 distinct definitions of terrorism out there, mostly put out by various US government agencies. Perhaps they can’t agree on a definition because it’s useful to leave the concept as a floating abstraction to be used when convenient.
I would define terrorism as a tactic of warfare intended to have mainly psychological effects on a civilian population.
But, remember, terrorism is a tactic of warfare—like artillery barrages, cavalry charges, frontal assaults, and a hundred other tactics. They’re all nasty. But properly applied, terrorism can often achieve an objective with vastly fewer casualties than the alternatives.
Napoleon said, quite correctly, that in warfare, the psychological is to the physical as three is to one. That’s why there’s an emphasis on winning—or at least changing—the hearts and minds of both the enemy’s troops and his people. Terror is one way to do that. And it’s typically the lowest-cost alternative. The US, currently still a rich country, rails against “terror” because it’s mainly a poor man’s tactic. But we use it when it suits us.
In the last century or so, the US has fought a lot of guerrilla conflicts. But it typically forgets that when you’re an outside third party fighting a guerrilla war in someone else’s homeland, you’re almost certainly on the wrong side because guerrilla wars are people’s wars. And it’s a thin line between a guerrilla war and terrorism. I’m a freedom fighter; you’re a rebel; he’s a terrorist.
Governments have always used terror. The Assyrians—proto–Middle Easterners, if you will—liked to scare enemies by skinning alive those who resisted. Genghis Khan and Tamerlane purposefully used terror by piling up skulls into pyramids. The Romans purposefully committed genocide as a method of warfare on occasion and reserved crucifixion as a terror punishment.
Let’s not be too sanctimonious about terrorism. Bombing cities, which are by definition full of civilians, is just state terrorism, tarted up, justified, and rationalized with legalities and rhetoric. The real enemy here isn’t terrorism, writ small or large, it’s politics. The real enemies are the institutions of politics and governments themselves.
International Man: Given all we have discussed today, what are the investment implications?
Doug Casey: The obvious one is oil.
It’s unpredictable to what degree the Mohammedans of the world will get together and use the oil weapon. They’re fortunate in that most of our oil is under their sand.
I’m fundamentally bullish on oil for many reasons not germane to this discussion. Oil has limited downside and could easily go way, way up from here for political reasons. It’s the most political of commodities, at least right now.
The second most political of commodities is gold. Gold, as I’ve been saying for years, has been, and still is, reasonably priced relative to everything else. But from here, it can only go up.
Last, let me point out that mining stocks are inordinately cheap. It’s a crappy, 19th-century choo-choo train business that no one likes these days. But that’s great for us as speculators; miners are about as cheap as they’ve ever been—ever. In either absolute or relative terms much cheaper than they “should” be relative to gold. I expect we’ll be well-rewarded, even as the Greater Depression deepens.

New War Order
Israel, Gaza and World War III: Uncomfortable Truths
Dr Vernon Coleman
We are hurtling towards the precipice.
Israel’s grotesque truly wicked and inhuman slaughter of the people of Gaza, an ethnic cleansing if ever I saw one, is, I fear, not what it appears to be.
It is, I suspect, far more than a simple, inhuman retaliation in response to what we are asked to believe was an unexpected terrorist attack.
The New World Order has become the New War Order. Everything is going according to plan. Nothing is happening by accident. We had the artificial pestilence. We have the very real famine – with countless millions dying around the world. And now we have the war: or, rather, a portfolio of wars.
I suspect that we’ll never know precisely how this new war was triggered, any more than we’ll ever know precisely what happened prior to the events of September 11th, but I suspect that the Israelis have been suckered into playing a vital part in the rocky road towards mass starvation, global economic ruin and the nuclear war which I forecast a couple of years ago, to the amusement of many who said it would never happen, and which will itself take us seamlessly into the Great Reset.
Outstanding hubris, anger, ambition, greed, a lack of empathy, a lasting sense of injustice at being settled in the only bit of the Middle East with no oil under it, and an extraordinary sense of self-importance and self-righteousness have combined to make Israel lose all sense of proportion and decency and behave in a way which is arousing global dismay and loathing.
If Hamas is a terrorist group then Israel is clearly a terrorist country. If bombing innocent civilians is an act of terrorism (which, of course, it is) then how else can Israel now be described – other than as a rogue, terrorist state?
If a man kills someone I care about, am I entitled to kill not him but the people around him, innocent people who just happen to live in the same town? Of course not. Israel has gone rogue.
The only certainties are that thousands of truly innocent Palestinians are being slaughtered, and the Israelis are doing the exterminating – claiming, with extraordinary hyperbole, that the Hamas attack was the equivalent of 9/11 and Pearl Harbour.
Has Israel been suckered into destroying itself by launching the most indefensible slaughter of modern times and, in doing so, taking us all closer than ever to the end of humanity?
What is happening is so awful that in the UK prominent Jews have felt the need to remind Israel of its obligations under international law. Eight eminent British Jewish lawyers said that `some aspects of Israel’s response already cause significant concern’.
Jews are concerned that holding a population under siege and punishing a whole population for the acts of a few is a grave violation of international law.
Well, of course it is. But the fact that even eminent Jews are beginning to criticise Israeli policies should give even the most deranged supporters of Israel reason to pause and think.
The US and the UK are usually quick to investigate what they see as atrocities and war crimes. But they do not investigate, or care, when Israel is clearly guilty of a seemingly endless series of cut and dried war crimes. Moreover, it seems that it is now pretty well illegal to oppose Israel’s actions or to support or show sympathy towards the Palestinians. Biden and Sunak and so on are cheering Israel’s illegal actions, and the mainstream media is cheering them on and pushing us towards the war their handlers want.
I have never been as ashamed of my country, and of the world as a whole, as I am today. My heart bleeds for the millions of innocent people who are imprisoned in the open air concentration camp which is known as Gaza. I cannot keep quiet and say nothing.
The mainstream media is, of course, suppressing the truth about the conflict between Israel and Palestine and has leant over forwards, backwards and sideways to make it clear that their sympathies and allegiance lie with Israel – whatever war crimes they commit. Just as in the fake covid plague, the truth is being constantly suppressed. Politicians and journalists are terrified of being attacked as holocaust deniers, or labelled anti-Semitic, and so they are, as always these days, suppressing truths, avoiding history and supporting another yet another war – a war that is destined to be part of the ever-developing Third World War which I warned about a lifetime ago, in the early days of 2022. We are entering the New War Order and the liars, the cheats, the fraudsters and the war criminals have pretty much taken control.
(It should not be necessary to point out, but I will, that I am neither a holocaust denier or anti-Semitic. I do, however, describe myself as a truth-teller. I am totally opposed to all terrorism, cruelty, fear-making and killing. And I no longer believe anything produced by the mainstream media. The BBC, of course, seems, as usual, to be the poster child for misinformation and disinformation.)
In our bizarre new world, a world where freedom of speech is merely a memory, it is now pretty well forbidden to criticise Israel in any way. Anyone who dares to do so risks being labelled anti-Semitic, a holocaust denier or a terrorist supporter. Those who dared speak out in defence of Palestinians have been exposed, criticised and attacked mercilessly for daring to share views considered unacceptable by Israel and its supporters.
But here are the things I believe with all my Christian heart. Since I am banned from all mainstream media, all social media and most of the internet this is the only place I can share my thoughts.
So, here are truths and fears you won’t find on any mainstream media. Please direct people to this website to read this article. Remember I am banned from all mainstream media, most of the internet and all social media. And my other website ( www.vernoncoleman.org) no longer exists. Sadly, I am afraid it isn’t possible to select and share items on this website. This is a problem outside my control. But please direct people to the site if you’d like them to read this article.
1. I believe Hamas was wrong to target non-combatant civilians. I believe it was a tactical and strategic error which cost them the moral high ground which was theirs for the taking. The attackers should have concentrated on military targets. (I include senior politicians as military.) Sadly, Israel has followed Hamas’s bad example and if Hamas is a terrorist group then Israel must be considered a terrorist nation – a rogue state.
2. I believe that the US and the UK have made things infinitely worse for the people of Gaza. Once again the US and the UK have, inevitably, interfered in a conflict which has absolutely nothing to do with them. Both countries, together with NATO and the EU, made things far worse in Ukraine, massively increasing the mortality and morbidity figures. NATO’s actions there have helped destroy an entire nation and put the world on the brink of World War III – the first Nuclear War. Both the UK and the US have committed war crimes in their cold-blooded support of Ukraine and the globalist cause – the body strewn road to the Great Reset. I believe that Biden and Sunak will, in due course, be tried alongside Blair, Bush and others for their heinous crimes. The actions of the US and the UK in recent days have been even more obscene. Both the US and the UK refused to back a UN resolution for humanitarian aid to be provided to the innocent citizens of Gaza. (The US actually opposed the resolution, guaranteeing the deaths of untold numbers of Palestinian and Christian children in Gaza. The UK, wringing its hands, merely abstained.)
3. I believe that nothing is happening by accident. Everything is part of a Plan. And the Plan is to take us quietly and speedily into the New World Order – which I have now renamed the New War Order.
4. I do not believe anything the mainstream media tells me about what is happening in and around Israel. And I know that in just about every war for a century, combatants have accused their enemies of killing or eating babies. Babies always make a useful propaganda tool. I do believe that blockading Gaza and deliberately withholding food, water and fuel from innocent citizens is one of the most serious war crimes in history.
5. I believe that throughout this new war, the latest tributary in the river of blood organised by the conspiratorial globalists, the emphasis in the mainstream media has been on defending Israel and repeatedly drawing attention to Israeli deaths rather than deaths of Palestinians. When a hospital was destroyed (killing around 500 people), political leaders and the media did not wait for evidence or an inquiry but immediately accepted the Israeli’s absurd excuse that the bombing was nothing to do with them. (`Nothing to do with me, guv.’ `I was miles away at the time.’ `And by the way the dog ate my homework.’) I can only assume that the journalists who accepted this fantasy also believe in the tooth fairy. Do those who believed Israel’s claim not know that before the bombing, Israel had ordered a score of hospitals in Gaza to evacuate all their patients within 24 hours – and had previously attacked hospitals and ambulances? Israeli friendly journalists also claimed that the hospital had not been bombed at all and that there had been very few casualties. They were lying. Israel has bombed churches and residential buildings as though they are entitled to be immune to criticism and should be treated as special or `chosen’ to ignore basic rules of behaviour. For heaven’s sake, Israel has bombed a Christian church (one of the oldest of all Christian churches) where people were sheltering in what they thought was safety.
6. I believe that before 1948, the whole of what is now known as Israel belonged to Palestine. What do you think Israel was before it was Israel? It wasn’t just a big chunk of no man’s land. Just ask yourself how the Scots would react if everything to the West of Glasgow were taken by, say, a bunch of Presbyterians so that they could create a new country. Or how would the Texans react if a big chunk of Texas suddenly belonged to several million Methodists? Might they, perhaps, be a trifle peeved? I’m just trying to put things into some sort of perspective from the point of view of an impartial observer.
7. I believe that in the seven decades since 1948, Israel has greedily and determinedly worked towards extending its borders. The term `ethnic cleansing’ is impossible to ignore. I suspect that in the last three quarters of a century, Israel has committed more war crimes than any other country. The victims have invariably been Palestinians. Check out the history (but don’t try relying on mainstream media, Wikipedia or YouTube where all you will find is a toxic mixture of propaganda and prejudice). Israel has 6,000 Palestinians in prison. How many are political prisoners? I understand that Israel has refused to exchange its hostages for the ones being held by Hamas.
8. I suspect that hardly anyone outside insane asylums or government offices believes the official story about 9/11 – which was used to bring us Homeland Security, the catastrophic loss of freedom and free speech, massive fear, a loathing of Islam and the widespread and unending War on Terror. Think carefully about how the original Hamas attack (which I obviously condemn unequivocally) can (and almost certainly will) be used to benefit Israel and the globalists. Look at the history of Israel, the ruthlessness of Israeli leaders and the role of terrorism in Israel’s history. Oh and I believe that Netanyahu was very unpopular with his own voters before the attack on Israel. No country ever dumps a war time leader.
9. I believe it is possible that what is happening in Gaza is a preview of what is going to happen to the rest of the world. The people of Gaza have been persecuted for years. They have been denied all basic human rights by their Israeli neighbours. Inevitably, the oppression has led to more extremism. What if what has happened to the Palestinians in Gaza is what the globalists are planning for the rest of us? Think of Gaza (little more than an open air prison) as an experiment in 15 or 20 minute cities – a model city for global extremism and mass genocide.
10. I believe that the apparent insanity of politicians such as Biden and Sunak (and, indeed, just about every other politician in the world) is merely a sign of how the globalists control the world. In the UK, Sunak, without public or parliamentary support, announced that the British people would support Israel forever. Note that final word. Forever. And yet Britain (which is incidentally a communist country if the word has any meaning whatsoever) surely now has more Muslims than Christians and, as mosques spring up and churches are sold off to property developers, can probably be more properly defined as a Muslim country than as a Christian country. By siding with Israel, the war criminal Sunak (remember the depleted uranium shells sent to Ukraine) has ensured that the British will be targeted by Muslim extremists. Did MI5 expect us to be astonished by their `wisdom’ when they announced that Britain will now become a target for angry, radicalised Muslims? What the hell did anyone expect? Our Government has allowed virtually unlimited immigration. The one thing I can guarantee is that as a result of our being a target, there will be new restrictions on our freedom. Incidentally, was I the only one to notice that when Netanyahu met Biden he wore a smart suit and tie but when he met the British Prime Minister he wore an open necked shirt? These things are significant and it seemed disrespectful – particularly since Sunak was (without authority) promising that the UK will stand with Israel.
11. I believe that the pictures of Gaza show an area which shows the savage result of carpet bombing.
12. I believe that the situation in the Middle East is going to result in higher (much higher) oil prices again this winter. It’s worth remembering that half a century ago the Yom Kippur War led to the oil crisis of the 1970s. Inflation (as I predicted in 2020, 2021 and 2022) is going to soar. Interest rates will rise (as I repeatedly predicted, and as the globalists require). And the recession throughout the world will be deep and long. Corruption and what seems like political chaos (but is deliberate) will increase. The values of houses and shares will continue to fall. None of this is accidental. The number of people dying of the cold in the UK this coming winter will exceed by a factor of at least 100, and probably 1,000, the number who died of the heat in the allegedly hot summer which the climate change nutters claim we endured but which no one can remember noticing as we all concentrated on deciding how long to delay putting on the central heating. (Tired of shivering, we put our heating on in July.) I believe that the winter of 2023/4 is going to be colder than usual because the sun has been deliberately dimmed by globalists spraying toxic substances into the stratosphere in the guise of protecting us against climate change. And with the sun dimmed, solar panels aren’t going to work very well.
13. I believe that the Russians who are fighting for survival against NATO forces which are using Ukraine as an excuse for World War III, and the Hamas fighters seem prepared to die for what they believe. Why are Western forces getting involved in these elements of World War Three? British soldiers are now fighting in Ukraine, and Sunak (now a war criminal) is supplying illegal weapons on behalf of the British people. The Americans and Britain are sending forces to help Israel. Both Britain and the US are effectively bankrupt and cannot afford to make or supply forces or weapons to anyone. How many Western soldiers have the same level of commitment as the local fighters? Why do Western leaders feel the need to involve their countries in other people’s wars – inevitably making things worse? Insane politicians in the US want to start a war with China too – though China has 200 times as many naval ships as America. Israel seems to me to want a war with all the Arab countries and the West is offering permanent support. The plan seems to be to kill billions of soldiers and civilians. If the war in the Middle East continues, the risk of nuclear weapons being used increases dramatically. If Iran uses a small nuclear bomb on Israel will not Israel use a large one on Iran? If Israel nukes an Arab country do they think it will go unnoticed? Will the US and UK support the use of nukes? Both Biden and Sunak seem to say so. The escalation seems inevitable.
14. The North Koreans are rattling their sabres and the Chinese are licking their lips at the prospect of helping themselves to Taiwan when Biden has run out of money, men and bullets. The Israelis seem to want a war with everyone in the Middle East. They are ignoring international law which allows only for `necessary and proportionate force in self-defence’. Iran is backed by Russia and Israel is backed by the West. You can see the awful possibilities. There are many other wars currently taking place around the world.
15. I believe that killing billions of people with a global war will help provide distraction from the destruction of cash, the genocide in hospitals, the complete loss of freedom and freedom of speech, the destruction of health care and the consequences of jabbing billions with a toxic vaccine that doesn’t do what it was said to do but which does kill people. What is currently happening in Gaza will inevitably incite more violence, and more terrorism. Do Israel’s leaders have any sort of plan or are they just so full of rage and self-importance that they think they can do whatever they like – egged on by Biden and Sunak et al? The slaughter in Gaza will result in deaths around the world.
16. And, incidentally, let us put everything in perspective: I believe that the covid-19 vaccine has killed and injured far more people than have died in Israel and Palestine combined. Actually, I suspect that the covid-19 vaccine has already killed and injured more people than the war in Ukraine. The main beneficiaries of World War III must include the drug companies and doctors who vaccinated the world with a toxic drug that didn’t do what they said it would do – and whose handiwork can now be hidden among the killing fields of the New War Order. I believe the fake covid pandemic was used to break people, to create fear and to enable the authorities to trick billions into accepting a toxic vaccine that didn’t do what it was supposed to do, but does kill people. And I believe that the conspirators are now moving in for the kill.
17. We are heading for the precipice at breakneck speed. The global economy is heading for a bigger crash than even pessimists feared. We are heading for financial Armageddon. Oil and gas prices will soar. Inflation will soar. Interest rates will soar. Food will become scarce and prices will inevitably soar. This has all been obvious for so, so long.

The following quote was in an article I read this morning.
“I think, put your legal head on for a second, that universities are gonna be in big trouble for having mandated young people to get that vaccine because people are gonna get sick, they’re gonna have long-term consequences and they should sue those schools for having forced them to take a medical intervention. 100% they should sue,” Dr. Drew told Kelly.
Every institution, every employer, every person who mandated these killer vaccines will be held accountable . The result of this will bring down society. I am sure this was part of the plan.
They want all companies to go broke, they want politicians hung in the streets, they want all our cities brought to rubble.
Their motto is order out of chaos.
They want us brought to rubble because they are aware the masses will eventually learn we do not need them at all. In fact we would be a lot better off without them.
We do not need them, we have a society that if they just fucked off would get along just fine.
They know we would do a lot better without them, so they must bring us down to stay in power. They want to destroy the society we have all built so we have nothing to stand up against them with.
And they don’t care at all if we “we will be happy”.
They want the lies to come out so we hang those responsible for the vaccine genocide and pointless wars of profit that further the depopulation agenda.
This why none of their nonsense makes any sense. They want it to be torn apart and destroyed, it fuels the fire of the masses when they are finally told the truth or learn the truth the hard way.
The silence of the stubbornly ignorant masses in their deranged minds gives them some form of consent to destroy the world and slaughter the innocent.
These willfully moronic will continue to further their own genocide by going along with the multi faceted global extermination agenda to the point of the fools that turn the keys of doom in unison.
They are all complicit and willing slaves to evil.
We are at war with evil. Good verses evil.
You are either with them or against them.
If you stand up, you need but one word to end this all.
NO.
All it will take to end all of this madness world wide, to end all suffering, all poverty, all wars, all control by the corrupt evil few is the word, NO.
The quoted article went on to say one solution to vaccine mandates is to get a fake card. This is the worst advice. It furthers the bullshit that is covid, it endorses their authority to ask for proof of vaccination and it puts the person directly in line for prosecution based upon fraud.
DO NOT LIE.
Instead say the truth.
NO.
No I am not vaccinated and NO I will not comply.
You stand with right and truth on your side.
All of our responses to all genocidal plots and control mandates based upon lies should be; NO.
Spoken by everyone, no more business as usual.
No I will not pick up that gun and shoot that guy over there for any reason.
No I will not protect the evil few, let them hang.
No I will not spray chemtrails again.
No I will not comply.
No I will not hurt anyone.
No I will not fly a drone into a school.
If every person took a good look at the world and said no, I will not comply, tyranny will end.
The solution is no more.
The solution is no more business as usual.
EVERY ONE TURN ON THEM NOW
NO ONE COMPLY
THIS ENDS
Armed with the truth, United we stand, The truth has set us free.
Do not comply,
Say NO.
Personally I say fu*k NO.
Below is a film I made in 2014. The concept is simple, there are many ways they are killing people and the only way out is a world wide revolution. No more business as usual, say NO.

WARNING: Global Extermination In Full Effect
Our 12th film is a big picture understanding of the plans that are being carried out around the world to kill the majority of the population. It has been called the great reset. Well there is nothing great about it. The global elite, nazi, satanic Khazarian mafia who have been running our world for thousands of years are currently carrying out plans to exterminate 95% of the worlds population. When you look at each way they are killing us daily, many feel there is no larger agenda. This film ties in all of the areas they are attacking us and shows if you look at the big picture for what it is, a global extermination plan, you will see the truth. The films provides solutions to this problem and explains what is necessary to stop this extermination process. Global Revolution.

If things escalate between Israel and Iran, there’s a real danger of the US and UK getting involved
Lord Admiral West
Jerusalem has long seen the Lebanon-based terror group as a bigger threat than Hamas with their more advanced weaponry, including precision-missiles and drones.
“Israel would again react very strongly against them, no doubt conducting attacks into Lebanon,” Lord West explained.
“Lebanon is actually in a hell of a mess anyway… it could easily collapse, which would cause more uncertainty there.”
Already Brits have been ordered by the Foreign Office to immediately get out of Lebanon as violent pro-Palestine protests broke out.
The US embassy in Beirut was targeted and UK ministers fear that the Israel-Hamas war could spill into the fragile nation at any moment.
ASSAD & PUTIN TEAM UP
With the possibility of Lebanon in shambles, the next step could be for Russian-backed Syria to join in, Lord West suggested.
“[Bashar al] Assad would be very stupid, but he might feel that he should somehow be involved,” he said.
“The problems there being that Assad is supported by Russia,” he added, explaining that would be a means for Putin to be pulled into the dogfight.
West noted how the Israel-Hamas war is already “fantastic” for Putin “because it’s taken people’s eyes off the Ukraine conflict”.
“So the more he can stoke it up, the happier he’ll be.”
And the happier his pariah pal Iran will be.
A WAR WITH IRAN
A nation hellbent on destruction, Lord West believes Iran could “try to use her ability to inspire terrorism in other countries to provoke attacks on Israel”.
“So that would make Israel feel that there should be some reaction against Iran,” he said.
The retired admiral said if it became “really bad” and Israel attacked Iran then “there’s no doubt” Iran wouldn’t accuse the US and the UK of being involved.
“So suddenly the thing has expanded quite dramatically,” West added, explaining that “Iran sees us as the little Satan, the great Satan being America”.
Iran is a key backer of Palestine terror group Hamas – as well as Lebanon-based Hezbollah.
And Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has already warned Israel that it will be “eradicated” in another “shockwave” following the Hamas terror outrage.
Tehran has repeatedly warned that a ground assault on Gaza would be met with a response from other fronts.
US & UK ENTER THE FIGHT
The UK and US have already sent military and naval forces to support Israel in their fight against Hamas and to reinforce regional stability.
And on Friday a US Navy warship fired what are believed to be America’s first shots in defence of Israel.
The warship, operating in the Red Sea, downed drones and missiles launched by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen believed to be targeting Israel.
A brutal and protracted war is expected to take place after Israel’s military rumbles into the Gaza Strip.
Meanwhile, the embattled nation could end up fighting against Hezbollah on its northern front where it’s sent thousands of freshly drafted reservist troops.
“If Israel begins to fall apart due to Hezbollah and Hamas then there’s a real danger then of the US and UK getting involved,” Lord West suggested.
And “if things really go wrong”, Nato “will be looking to increase our capability in the eastern Med because this might turn into a fight”, he said.
SAUDI ARABIA FORCED IN
The last step to a terrifying puzzle of pieces that could plunge the world into war would be for Saudi Arabia to step into the chaos, Lord West explained.
For years, Iran has supported Yemen’s Houthi rebels, who are at war with their large Islamic neighbour, Saudi Arabia.
They also share Iran’s distinct hatred for the US and Israel.
Already, rockets have begun being fired at military bases hosting US forces in Syria and Iraq by the terrorists after President Joe Biden affirmed rock-solid support for Israel.
The volatile and gun-toting Houthi’s have been provoking Saudi Arabia by shooting Iranian-supplied missiles into its territory.
This fact, mixed with the general chaos that could envelop the Middle East, Lord West said could enrage the Kingdom enough to “become involved” in the carnage.
Fears of the Gaza crisis opening multiple new fronts are mounting – and exploding tensions risk drawing in a large number of countries.’

You missed the part about Turkey sending its Navy into the Eastern Med, and then China has announced sending a fleet there as well. That's after the US sent one carrier group and is delaying on sending another one. Do the Iranians have nukes ? Well the Russians do and they have them on their hypersonic missiles, and on Migs patrolling the skies over the Black Sea. Netanyahu is a NWO puppet of the worst kind, who will kill his own people first, before slaughtering the Palestinians. The US needs to dis-associate with the whole situation, but then the US is part of the NWO too. They don't want a cease fire. They want to cleanse Palestine of the Palestinians. That stain will never be wiped away...

6 Chinese warships on their way to the Middle East. Will Taiwan be next? Philippine Ship recently rammed by Chinese ship. Biden can’t walk & chew gum without falling over. How would Biden manage three wars simultaneously! Uncontrolled immigration. Apparently there are remote controlled bombs in Gaza etc, one recently went off. Could boots on the ground could be a trap if no contingency plan regarding remote controlled bombs? WW3 - 3 for one? This would not have happened with Trump. Grow your own food, leafy greens in pots will do.

The Left’s Planned Destruction of the Judeo-Christian World
By Al Bienenfeld
October 26, 2023
What is now occurring in Israel is no act of happenstance or the result of failed policy. It is the execution of a premeditated plan of destruction that Obama began, and Biden is trying to finish. The American left has long desired to eliminate Judeo-Christian followers. Their reasoning is simple: you cannot conquer, subjugate, and enslave a population that refuses to accept the rule of an earthly authority.
With Barack Obama leading the American left and pulling the strings on the Biden marionette, the plan is in motion. They seek to destroy Israel, followed by erasing Christians, whether through genocide (as in parts of Africa) or criminalizing Christianity.
In 2014, Israel initiated “Operation Protective Edge” to destroy “endless” miles of terror tunnels Hamas used to gain access into Israel and murder civilians. The Obama Administration assailed the Netanyahu government for using “disproportionate force” to protect their citizens from death at the hands of terrorists.
That same year, in a Tel Aviv speech, Philip Gordon, special assistant to U.S. President Barack Obama and the White House coordinator for the Middle East, made clear Barack Obama’s position. As reported on July 8 in Times of Israel:
Israel’s ongoing occupation of the West Bank is wrong and leads to regional instability and dehumanization of Palestinians, a top American government official said Tuesday in Tel Aviv, hinting that the current Israeli government is not committed to peace.
Gordon appealed to Israeli and Palestinian leaders to make the needed compromises to reach a permanent peace agreement. Jerusalem “‘should not take for granted the opportunity to negotiate’ such a treaty with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who has proven to be a reliable partner,” Gordon said. Abbas’s administration has called for the extermination of all Jews as an Islamic imperative.
Whether Gaza or the West Bank, Obama placed greater concern on the quality of life of Palestinians who subscribe to terrorism than industrious Jews working to build a better life for themselves.
In a July 27, 2014, phone conversation with Prime Minister Netanyahu, Obama insisted on a Gaza cease-fire:
An immediate and unconditional ceasefire ending Israel’s assault on Hamas is a “clear strategic imperative” to Israel, U.S. President Barack Obama told Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in a phone call on Sunday.
[snip]
Obama told Netanyahu he wants a ceasefire “that both allows Palestinians in Gaza to lead normal lives and addresses Gaza’s long-term development and economic needs, while strengthening the Palestinian Authority,” the White House said, in a readout of the call to reporters.
In terms of disproportionate force, what gives Barack Obama the right to say what a Jew’s life is worth? (The Biden administration is repeating the same line.) To those who have followed Middle East events, it is clear that the last thing to concern Obama was a Jew’s life. His position always focused on protecting the Palestinian right to kill Jews, while minimizing the consequences. Looking at today’s horrors in Israel and Obama’s lethargic response, how can any reasonable person believe otherwise?
In 2015, Obama promoted and signed the Iranian Nuclear Accord over bipartisan objection from the Senate on both constitutional and principled grounds. Obama ignored that. Obama’s agreement was structured to allow Iran to develop nuclear power readily convertible to a nuclear weapon. It also deleted existing sanctions, giving Iran the financial resources to pursue its oft-stated goal using nuclear weapons against the Jewish State. Additionally, the money allowed Iran to sponsor Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Majid Rafizadeh, an economist and business consultant who teaches at Harvard University, offered his analysis of the deal:
The international community would truly do itself a great service to recognize that the nuclear deal was nothing more than a pro-mullah agreement which provided Iran’s ruling clerics with billions of dollars to pursue their anti-American, anti-Semitic, anti-Iranian people and pro-terror activities, while simultaneously providing cover for Iran to pursue its nuclear ambitions.
When President Trump withdrew from the Iran deal, he reimposed sanctions and essentially cut off funding for terrorism. An important point lost on many today is that when we were mass-producing energy under President Trump, we drove down the price of oil in the marketplace. This further deprived Iran (and Russia) of resources to use against the United States and other Judeo-Christian nations.
As a parting shot at Israel, in 2016, Barack Obama refused to block an anti-Israel resolution at the United Nations condemning settlement construction. Perhaps the strongest evidence of Obama’s desire to destroy the Jewish State comes from his allowing the resolution to pass. The proof is simple. The resolution holds that the Temple Mount and Western Wall, Jerusalem’s holiest sites going back over 2,500 years, are occupied territory. The so-called Palestinian people are a construct fabricated in the 1960s. Only the worst of the Jew-haters could endorse this resolution.
Currently, much is being made of $6 billion that the Biden administration has moved to make available to Iran, but that amount is small compared to what his administration has already done. Writing in August 2023, former White House official Richard Goldberg explained:
“At least $16 billion has now been made available to Iran without any congressional input — and more might be on the way. Another $6.7 billion is reportedly moving to Iran via the International Monetary Fund Special Drawing Rights… and reportedly… another $3 billion of regime assets frozen in Tokyo, India and China…”
In addition, Biden continues to issue waivers for oil exports without Congressional oversight, resulting in Iran deriving many billions of dollars in revenue.
Under President Trump Iranian oil exports were 10 percent of what they are today, representing reductions of tens of billions of dollars to Iran. It was deterrence without death and destruction.
Today, the Biden Administration has reversed the Trump measures and renewed the flow of money to Iran and Hamas. Without this funding, both Iran and Hamas would be unable to move against Israel. In addition, based on a Wall Street Journal report, aside from funding, Iran provided the organizational structure and guidance for the attack on Israel.
Simply put, without Iranian sponsorship, Israeli babies would not have been beheaded or burned alive. Israel’s move to exterminate Hamas should have taken place in 2014. It is obvious that Barack Obama blocked this action. So again, what other conclusion can be drawn other than his goal was to destroy Israel, a goal that Biden continues to pursue?
Moreover, both Obama and Biden know that, when the Jews are gone, Christians are next. Hamas has explicitly stated that, after Israel, it will eliminate Christianity (and, presumably, Christians). This will not be confined to Israel. It will happen here. Thousands of Middle Eastern men of military age are coming over our southern border, with numbers of them on the terror watchlist. They are waiting for the Ayatollah to press the button. The American leftist leader Barack Obama is the author of the existing tragedy and what is to come.
What is currently transpiring in the Middle East is not due to some error in judgment. It was planned. The violence, death, and destruction were premeditated. If not headed off now, the American left will empower the Muslim community to accomplish their goal and bring their horror show here.

Just look at what is happening in israel right now. They've been spoiled as fu*k for the last century, to the point that even their men that are all trained to fight because military enlistment is mandatory, have no fight in them and are letting themselves be slaughtered. Even the ones who were set up nice and pretty in military bases were slaughtered without even turning the key to the tanks and armored vehicles they had access to. And that's how you know they're going to be pushing for America to fight this war for them. They got fat and complacent with US money and US influence at their beck and call. All they know is theft of American prosperity for their own gain and consumption of luxuries, and soon they'll expect Americans to come save the day so they can keep enjoying their theft of American prosperity and consumption of luxuries.
If Israel thought the US was involved, they would be saying it. Which means that Israel definitely manufactured this whole thing. These terrorist networks are likely operated by Israel, so they can manufacture outrage and have the excuse to kill and move people they don't want to live alongside. It's just controlled opposition.
Just like how BLM and Antifa are domestic terrorism networks operated by Democrats, and even the entire KKK (which doesn't even really exist anymore) are just Democrat agents. Even stormfront itself is/was just an FBI operation, largely designed to manufacture organizations they can call racist, and find angry people who have been wronged by minorities so they could attempt to either vilify them or create lists of people that they believe they can potentially nudge toward becoming domestic terrorists, so they can create incidences that allow them to vilify racism that doesn't even exist, or at least label actual real grievances as racism.
Just like we learned that the DOJ has its own special wing where if your family is murdered by minorities, they come to your home and coerce you into ignoring that you and your family were a victim of a racist attack from minorities, in order to attempt to control public perception, in order to protect minorities from scrutiny for their culture and behavior and their culture that leads to that behavior, in order to protect their own ethnic cleansing operation that has been going on for decades. They pretend this isn't what they're doing, they even pretend to scoff at the idea that this is what they're doing, but it's obvious that this is exactly what they're doing.
But why would Israel do this? Because they want the "holy land" to themselves, and they know Hamas breeds faster than they do, it's only a matter of time before the open air prison that is Hamas, out-populates them and grows more powerful than Israel, whether it's 50 years from now or 100 years. Just by simple statistics alone, it would be easy for Israel to come to that conclusion. They know if they don't wipe out Hamas, they will eventually lose Israel just to population growth alone.
Of course that doesn't justify Hamas at all. Both sides can get fucked as far as I'm concerned. America first, and more importantly, America only. When America has all of its problems solved, which it easily could have if Democrats and China didn't pilfer it with wars and debt and theft, then we can think about helping others. But so long as there are homeless on the streets and dindu's and illegals murdering people, and Americans struggling to put food on the table and a roof over their head, America shouldn't be in anyone elses business.

Now you know why Israel created the pretext so it could attack Hamas. They rely almost solely on the iron dome for defense. With the iron dome defeated, they are defenseless. Ever since Russia unveiled those weapons at the start of the Ukraine war, Israel has been shitting its pants about what to do. They know eventually Hamas could have gotten their hands on some, and they don't need many, because if Hamas even only ever got just a couple of them, they could effectively wipe out the entire Israeli leadership in a single strike, before anyone even knew what was happening.
So it's not a question of sheer firepower, Israel would probably still win even if Hamas did get those types of weapons, but the damage that could be done with just a few of them would cripple the Israeli government. It was only ever a matter of time before Hamas got missiles like that, even if it would of been 10 years from now, it was an inevitability that Israel could not accept.
I'm not on either side, I say fu*k 'em both. But everyone can plainly see that the attack on Israel was allowed to happen so that they would have the excuse they needed to attack Hamas, which is why they are leveling hospitals and civilian areas, rather than places with actual fighters. The whole point is to destroy Hamas once and for all. A "final solution" you might call it.
My guess is the CIA used spies to rig the grenade on a timer. How often does one inspect a grenade? We're talking about really old tactics here, because ever since the grenade was invented it was a security risk, so naturally during WW2 the allies would try to come up with the best ways to sabotage them, and were also probably pretty successful. But it was also always a highly situational tactic that could only ever be executed sparingly.
All I know is Putin definitely didn't have him murdered, there's no gain in it. The whole coup thing was clearly staged, because regardless of any legitimate grievances he could have had, he gets all of his supplies from the Russian military. These mercenary groups don't supply themselves and are not allowed to stockpile any gear on their own, so they are basically only supplied as needed. What this all means is it would be silly for Prig to actually revolt at all, as he would not have the resources to hold out even a week. And let's keep in mind, this whole scenario was supposed to be exactly about issues with supplies. So once you look at it, it's a man threatening to essentially occupy a city of his own homeland unless he gets resources.....resources he doesn't even have to occupy in the first place. Whole reason is clearly subterfuge.
I'm inclined to believe the obvious theory: CIA tried to buy him, thought they had him, he was just playing along to fu*k with them and steal the billions of dollars they promised him. He demanded they pay up first, and with as desperate as the morons in the state department are, they agreed to it, hoping they could use it as their in to topple Putin. Then he double crossed them. They probably refused to pay him until they saw him do something, which is why the whole incident even happened on the public stage.
See, America technically can kill anyone in virtually any government, America has that capability. The problem isn't killing them, the problem is what happens after killing them, which is why they can't kill Putin and had to settle for killing Prig instead. Although I'd also believe that he just retired in secrecy and Russia faked his death so he could live in peace. A person who headed a mercenary group would make far too many enemies to just publicly retire someday, people would eventually come looking for him. But if he's supposed to be dead, even if they don't believe it, they have to always look at it from the perspective that they're chasing a ghost, and it's hard to drag in a lot of resources to dedicate to what could be a massive waste of time and effort.
But the behavior of the US government is kind of telling. Prig went from their "Brutus", to suddenly never being mentioned again. They were clearly working some angle with him behind the scenes. They didn't even try to really paint it as Putin killing him. They could have screamed it from the mountain tops about Putin being a murderous dictator killing his own people....but they didn't even really try. Why? Because the CIA probably did have Prig killed, and Putin probably has all the evidence, which would make it not only an act of war, but also in violation of the Geneva convention, which would make America the aggressor.
We saw the same type of behavior with the biolabs, where Putin was bringing recovered documents and samples to the UN to expose it, but the UN voted to not even listen to any of it, saying it was manufactured....so why would Russia even attempt to expose the CIA for the murder of Prig? They'd say that was manufactured too. So the truth serves no purpose other than for Russia's own knowledge, not as a thing to expose US assassinations, because no one in the EU or the UN is going to listen or even care anyways. In the end it only strengthens Russia's resolve and makes them even more hostile toward the US. Good work state department morons?

I think everyone on both sides would know that Hamas could never defeat Israel, they're too well backed by other countries. That's why the whole war is suspicious. We know that most of Hamas's generals didn't even know about the surprise attack. That might seem useful for security, but it's also useful if you're Israeli intelligence infiltrating Hamas and getting them to do a surprise attack so you'd have the excuse to bomb Hamas. The rest of the Hamas generals are fighting a war they may want to be fighting because of all the hate between Hamas and Israel, but it may also be a war that was started against their will, by the enemy, in order to attack Hamas before they get too strong.
This is a war being fought not because of how things are now, but because of how Israel fears things will look 10-20 years in the future and beyond, where Israel may be much weaker and outnumbered, especially if WW3 goes full scale during that time, because the US will be too busy with other stuff to come save Israel, so Israel is essentially kicking off this war before that happens. When WW3 fully breaks out, and it's probably even fair to say its already started since at least Ukraine, lots of countries around the globe are going to be fending for themselves, and Israel has to come to the natural conclusion that its neighbors will tear it apart like a pack of hungry dogs while the US is distracted in upcoming wars.
With a war with Russia, Israel would become a key staging ground. Especially if they want to take back Crimea, which would be the most embarrassing blow for Russia, which is clearly why they've chosen it. And it seems like this is exactly the reason why the state department is directing this war in Israel, to pacify the surrounding area for future wars. I think there will be a surprise push for Crimea somewhere in the near future...maybe not today or tomorrow, but years from now. It wouldn't be easy, but it would massively flank Russia's lines in Ukraine and make it very hard for Russia to continue to sustain their existing lines.
Keep in mind I don't agree that it's what we should do, but I can see it on the horizon nonetheless. Crimea is ultimately the lynchpin of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, anything else doesn't make sense, to the point where it may be the hard way, but it's also logistically and tactically the only way too, even if it ultimately isn't successful or is a stupid thing to try because of how it will cause full blown WW3. I'm sure Russia already calculated and knows this too. It's all just pieces on a chessboard.
This is also clearly why when we sent a carrier to Israel, Putin himself made it a point to address it by saying he has hypersonic missiles at the ready. He was basically saying "We know what you're up to, stop". And carriers don't just come alone, a carrier is an entire fleet, including submarines, all designed to support and protect that carrier. A submarine could easy slip off to do some covert missions, so I'd say Russia is also on high alert for submarines right now. This also means we might be getting another false flag soon, similar to the pipeline incident. It's just a natural conclusion and more of the same.
