“Gaza Fights
Back”
https://www.mintpressnews.com/watch-documentary-trailer-gaza-fights-back-dan-cohen/281457/
by Dan Cohen
(35:08)
Filmed during
the attack and in the days following the ceasefire, the documentary tells the
story of how Gaza’s armed resistance groups outwitted the vastly superior
Israeli military and established their ability to intervene against Israeli
ethnic cleansing of neighborhoods like Sheikh Jarrah
and provocations at the al-Aqsa compound in occupied
East Jerusalem.
“The
Palestinian military capabilities are not highly sophisticated and destructive,
but it becomes so effective when it’s used by Palestinian smart youths who
believe in their rights and freedom,” a masked al-Qassam
commander says.
The
documentary features intimate interviews with survivors, many of whom lost
family members in the Israeli bombardment.

Subject:
Why the world won't buy ‘the excremental vision’ of some would-be world leaders
along with the new technologies and monetization policies prescribed to impose their
exclusive delusions upon the rest of us.
Dear
Colleagues and Friends of CEIMSA,
The
war-gaming pastime, “Gocha,” is but one of the many
ploys used to hide in plain sight the excremental
vision of the future which the ruling classes today are attempting to
parachute on to the
rest of us by means of “revolution from above.” This instrument is taken from
the military tool kit of “divide-and-rule” tactics, tried-and-proven methods to
soften any popular democratic resistance against tyranny and despotism, in
order to enhance corporate ownership - with or without a capitalist framework -
featuring “the best government money can buy”. World history offers many
accounts of this social control method used against unsuspecting populations to
disarm them and to eventually dispose of them. Some call it genocide….
The 25+ items in our bulletin
this week are essays and articles which address various depopulation programs
and de facto eugenics policies found in class-divided societies around the
world, where economic austerity, instrumental inflation, climate control
protolols, state-administered emergency injection policies, and rapacious
militarism with covert destabilization operations (accompanied by vicious implementations of censorship and mindless
Artificial Intelligence applications)
play a central role in maintaining the political authority of a small-but-well-organized ruling
class over the will and well being of a disproportionately large majority of people in societies
around the world by means of illegitimate
dependant power hierarchies (See: ceimsa bulletin, May
Day 2020).
The call now is for the transition from reactive
to proactive response to this
capricious tyranny and the system that perpetuates it.

“The Lord of ‘Vaccines”
and the ‘Health Terrorist Ideology’. Where Do You
Think this Is Going? Get Off that Crazy Train”
by Dr. Pascal Sacré
I am not a practitioner, in the
usual sense of the word, of a religion or an esoteric current.
On the other hand, I have read a
lot, studied, reflected, curious about everything, open to everything.
I don’t exclude anything, I go everywhere, especially if an authority tells
me, without any other argument than his “authority”, not to go there.
Thanks to this quality
(considered a danger by some), I continue to learn,
tirelessly.
As an “orthodox” doctor from a
Belgian university and a classical curriculum, I have long followed the marked
path, walked in the right direction and crossed when the light turns green,
almost always.
Curiosity, an incurable flaw in
me, has led me on the side roads, where you meet people, tread on soil, unearth
treasures qualified by those who mark the roads and crosswalks, corrupt sources
(modern expression: “fake news”), untrustworthy teachers.
I am not a guru, nor is Alexander De Croo, Young Global Leader 2015, Alexander De Croo becomes Young Global Leader | Focus on Belgium, nor are Edouard Philippe and President Macron, Young Global Leaders
respectively in 2011 and 2012, or Olivier Véran in
2019, Emmanuel Macron
and Edouard Philippe, these “young leaders” who
govern us – Gala.
Check for yourself, all the heads or deputy heads of
the governments that applied the roadmap in 2020, the plan established by the
cartel of true gurus, have been Young Global Leaders of the “Great Reset World Economic Forum Cult”.
No, I am not a guru, no more or less than Bill
Gates or Tedros Adhanom
Ghebreyesus (head of the World Health
Organization) who, however, without being a healer or a doctor, are dragging
the world into their health terrorist ideology.
On the other hand, yes, I have been a doctor for 25
years, an anesthesiologist for 17 years (someone who puts people to sleep and
wakes them up, puts them to sleep to avoid suffering and wakes them up to give
them back their autonomy).
With my curiosity, my learning and my openness to
everything that can help humanity, without taboos or censorship, I say to all
humanity to stop this race to death.
Get
off the crazy train.
I know, it is scary, it can hurt, and at the same
time, as long as you feel the pain, you are alive.
Take back your physical and intellectual autonomy
and protect your children.
These Young Global leaders who have become “Leaders”
(gurus) do not want to do you any good.
Under the cover of these lethal injections
(immediately or remotely by sterilization), so many Trojan horses of death
in your body, in your mind and in your soul, they make you believe that they
want to save you.
They don’t. It’s convincing, well presented, but
it’s not true.
If they wanted to save you, they would have told you
a long time ago to move more, to eat better (really, not diet products that
poison you as much as “heavy” products, Reassessing the risks of
aspartame. New experimental and epidemiological data), to manage your stress
on a daily basis, to take care of your microbiota, to
take food supplements, some of them all year round in a country like Belgium
(vitamin D).
This is only possible, unfortunately, thanks to the
complicity of certain people who run the institutions that are supposed to
protect us and the main media that are supposed to inform us.

“Agenda to Depopulate the Planet Through
COVID Vaccination. Revealed by Government Reports and Pfizer Documents”
by The
Expose
If
an experimental vaccine were to damage the heart and immune system in a
significant number of individuals who received it, it is possible that it could
lead to a decline in the overall population size.
This
could occur for several reasons.
·
First, damage to
the heart could lead to an increase in cardiovascular diseases, which are a
leading cause of mortality worldwide. This could result in a higher number of
deaths among individuals who received the vaccine.
·
Second, damage
to the immune system could leave individuals more susceptible to other
infections and diseases, which could also contribute to an increase in
mortality.
·
Last, but by no
means least, the negative impacts of the vaccine on fertility and reproductive
health could lead to a decline in the number of births, further contributing to
a decline in the overall population size.
If such a vaccine were to be developed and
distributed, it could potentially lead to depopulation due to increased
mortality and decreased fertility.
Unfortunately, the world has found itself in a
situation where powerful institutions and Governments have coerced millions of
people into getting an experimental Covid-19 vaccine that causes all of the
ill-fated effects mentioned above.
Official Government reports and confidential Pfizer
documents prove it.
Therefore, you are witnessing mass depopulation
unfold before your very eyes.
The push for mass Covid-19 vaccination was never
about combating a virus. It was about reducing the global population.
This goal aligns with the interests of certain
powerful corporations and individuals who stand to benefit from a smaller, more
manageable population now that AI is advanced enough to replace hundreds of
millions of workers.
Regardless
of the specific cause, the implications of what is currently occurring in the
real world are significant.
Millions
Have ‘Died Suddenly’
Did
you know that data on excess deaths in 15% of the world’s countries can be
found on the website of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)?
This
includes major countries like the USA, Canada, and the UK.
Additionally,
we were able to extract even more up-to-date data on 28 European countries from
EuroMOMO.
All
of this information has been provided to the OECD and
EuroMOMO by each country’s Government organizations,
such as the Centers for Disease Control in the USA and the Office for National
Statistics in the UK.
The
following chart illustrates the disturbing trend of excess deaths in the “Five
Eyes” countries (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, and the US) as well as
27 other European countries –
Are
you aware of the staggering number of excess deaths that have occurred in the
US and Europe in recent years?
In
2021, the US saw almost 700,000 excess deaths, with another 360,000 excess
deaths by November 11th, 2022.
Europe
had a similarly alarming 382,000 excess deaths in 2021, with 309,000 excess
deaths by November 2022.
And
these figures don’t even include Ukraine!
Shockingly,
even countries like New Zealand, Australia, and Canada have seen excess deaths
that have not decreased since the rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine.
The
following chart illustrates the disturbing trend of overall excess deaths in
Australia in 2020, 2021, and up to week 30 of 2022 –
Did
you know that the rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine in Australia led to a
shocking 747% increase in excess deaths, from 1,303 in 2020 to 11,042 in 2021?
And
the situation has only gotten worse since then.
By
the end of July 2022, there were a staggering 18,973 excess deaths in Australia
– a 1,356% increase from 2020.
That’s
more excess deaths in 7 months than in the previous two years combined.
And
the situation in the US is similarly alarming –
Are
you aware of the disturbing trend of excess deaths in the US following the
rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine?
By
week 38 of 2022, 1,700 more people had died compared to the same time in 2020,
and by week 38 of 2021, a shocking 109,000 more people had died compared to the
same time in 2020.
These
numbers indicate that rather than decreasing, deaths have actually increased
following the vaccine rollout. . . . .

We Are Being Smashed Politically, Economically,
Medically and Technologically by the Elite’s ‘Great
Reset’: Why? How Do We Fight Back Effectively?
by Robert J. Burrowes
Since the dawn of human
civilization 5,000 years ago, ordinary people like you and me have been engaged
in an endless struggle to resist efforts by elites, whether local, national,
international or global, to assert complete control over us and the resources
around us.
And for 5,000 years, with some wins and a great many
losses, we have managed to stave off the worst.
Finally, in January 2020, the World Economic Forum
launched its ‘Great Reset’: The final assault in the Elite’s long war against
humankind and nature itself.
As we pass the third anniversary since this final
battle was launched, it is well worth evaluating the progress of our
resistance.
Is our resistance being effective? Are we
succeeding?
Unfortunately, as is obvious from any serious
evaluation, we are being smashed. Let me explain why.
Evaluating
Progress
Any
strategy to resolve a conflict of this nature must begin with a sound analysis
of what is happening:
Who
is driving it (which answers the question ‘Who benefits?’) What do they intend?
Why are they doing it? And how?
Only once these questions have been clearly answered
is it possible to develop a strategy that will be adequate to the challenge
posed by the threat.
Image is from Dr. Rath
Health Foundation
So
Who Is Doing What?
Whatever we have been told by such organizations as
the World Health Organization, national governments and the corporate media
during the past three years, the most cursory investigation reveals that the
World Economic Forum has been just behind the scenes effectively directing the
response of governments to the threat supposedly posed by a ‘pathogenic virus’
labeled SARS-CoV-2.
However, any serious investigation will reveal that
even the World Economic Forum is simply another ‘front’ for more powerful
individuals and their organizations, which I call ‘the Global Elite’
– see ‘Historical Analysis of
the Global Elite: Ransacking the World Economy Until “You’ll Own
Nothing.”’

“Beyond Orwell’s 1984, 5G and the Launching of 6G: ‘Easy
to Take Down a Society that Is Digital’. UNCTAD
Attempts Accomplishing this Doom Scenario”
by Peter Koenig
From
5G to 6G
We, the People, are in a race
against the Globalists committed to Depopulation; control the survivors,
exploit us, dehumanize us, and ultimately digitize us, so that we can
be remotely controlled by 5G;
And, now, just
“launched” by China, 6G. See China launches
ultra-high-speed next-generation Internet backbone – SHINE News.
Nobody really knows, or at least
has not publicly said what 6G is meant to do, what 5G cannot already do. Incidentally, has the health impact of 6G been studied? Maybe. But nobody divulges the results.
This is how Qualcomm describes 5G:
5th generation mobile
network. It is a new global wireless standard after 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G networks.
5G enables a new kind of network that is designed to connect virtually everyone
and everything together including machines, objects, and devices. See this.
Nobody has
openly spoken about the health impact of 5G, though, that has been studied.
Yet, the studies are not revealed to the public.
Beyond
George Orwell’s 1984
There is
“guessing”; and scientists who come forward with the truth depicting the impact
caused on wildlife and humans by these ultra-microwaves, are most often labeled
“conspiracy theorists.”
This is the “shut-up” phrase for everything the
mainstream, the Cabal, the Matrix, the Globalists do not want the public to
know. We are way beyond George
Orwell’s “1984.”
The 6th Generation Mobile Network or 6G
is about 100 times faster, more powerful, than 5G. It will be able to digitize
everything.
This is what RantCell has to say about 6G:
It is Operating at terahertz frequency bands, 6G will deliver a peak data rate of 1,000 gigabits/s
having air latency less than 100 microseconds. When we talk about 5G vs 6G network speed, 6G speed is expected to be 100 times
faster than 5G with enhanced reliability and wider network coverage. See this.
We, the People, are in a race – life against death.
If we wake up and counteract, the Globalist’s, namely the project of the
diabolical protagonists of UN
Agenda 2030 and The
Great Reset will “be doomed”.
But if we keep letting us being duped, We, the People, “Will go to Hell”.
This is the reason why the entire UN system is
desperate to get the world digitized. The faster the better so, there may be
not enough time for We, the People, to wake up in masses to take our world,
our lives back before it is too late.
The
Financial, Military, IT, Media, Pharma Complex
Nominates UNCTAD
Therefore, the United Nations, the political body
under full control of the Globalist Cabal (openly led by Washington), but
really, by the powerful Financial,
Military, IT, Media, Pharma Complex (FMIMPC),
has nominated one of its under-agents, the UN Conference on Trade and
Development (UNCTAD) as the flag-carrier – at least for now – for the
deadly onslaught of All-Digitization.
UNCTAD –in blatant
derogation of its historical mandate on behalf developing
countries, namely the Global South–, will level the playing field,
as the saying goes, on behalf of the entire UN System by announcing in a Press Release in Geneva on 15 November 2023,
its e-Week from 4 to 8
December 2023, in a major revamp of its annual e-Commerce Week series which
began in 2016.
UNCTAD’s
Secretary-General, Rebecca Grynspan said,
“The digital economy plays a critical role in
advancing development goals at all levels. Through inclusive and
multi-stakeholder discussions, we can together build a global digital future
that works for all.”
UNCTAD’s infamous e-Week is called
“UNCTAD e-Week 2023 to Mobilize Global Support
for a More Inclusive Digital Economy.”
Sub-titled:
“More than 3,000 stakeholders from 130 countries
will examine how to turn digital opportunities into shared development gains
and close existing divides for a sustainable future.”
The text of the Press Release abounds in sloganism, niceties and “noneties”
(senseless talk for the “sold to the system gnomes”).
For example….
“The Conference is themed for “Shaping the Future
of the digital economy”. The topics will feature over 150 sessions focused
on tackling pressing issues related to digitalization. Key topics will range
from platform governance, the development impact of artificial intelligence
(AI), eco-friendly digital practices, to empowering women through digital
entrepreneurship and accelerating digital readiness in developing countries.”
This intro-phrase hardly misses one of meaningless
globalist jargons, that are now current and circulate
in the minds of people, without them giving a second thought of what they
really mean.
Wait a minute, they forgot
the term “sustainable”. Surely, it will appear later in the text.

“Settler Colonialism, Thanksgiving and Gaza”
https://scheerpost.com/2023/11/23/settler-colonialism-thanksgiving-and-gaza/
by “Indigenous People’s Curriculum Day & Teach-In” by teachingforchange
is licensed under CC BY-NC 2.0.American
historian, writer, professor and activist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz uses her studies
on indigenous peoples’ history and her work with Palestinian diplomats and the
United Nations to show how historic “settler colonialism” like in the United
States relates to Gaza today. Dunbar-Ortiz makes the case, on this Thanksgiving
edition of the Scheer Intelligence podcast, that
inherent in that settler colonialism are the various
definitions of genocide.
“Inherent
in settler colonialism is genocide because it wants to destroy or completely
control every aspect of life of the people they push off. The United States was
the most effective settler colonial state ever in terms of the genocide of the
reducing the native population hugely,” Dunbar-Ortiz said.
The
plight of the Native Americans in what is now the United States serves as a
base for understanding the motivations, actions and justifications for settler
colonialism by the West. The war in Palestine, Dunbar-Ortiz argues, contains
many similar elements employed, where the core objective of the occupying force
isn’t even to necessarily kill everyone—although a strong argument can be made
that this is ongoing too—but to see a group of people have their identity
obliterated.
The
hard resistance to seeing this situation as it is in the eyes of some
Americans, Dunbar-Ortiz reasons, comes from a justification for America’s
history of the same crimes:
“[T]here’s
a lot of resonance, I think, in the U.S. white
population, especially descendants of old settlers, which most presidents are.
They feel a resonance with Israel because of settler colonialism, because it is
the geographical imprint on U.S. people that settler colonialism is a good
thing.”

“Israel strikes Gaza after truce expires”
Updated
December 1, 2023
by The Associated Press
Israeli
fighter jets hit Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip on Friday shortly after a
weeklong truce expired, the military said, as the war resumed in full force.
Airstrikes hit southern Gaza, including the community of Abassan
east of the town of Khan Younis, the Interior
Ministry in the Hamas-run territory said. Another strike hit a home northwest
of Gaza City.
Loud, continuous explosions were heard coming from the Gaza Strip and black smoke
billowed from the territory.
In Israel, sirens blared at three communal farms near Gaza warning of incoming
rocket fire, suggesting Hamas had also resumed its attacks.
The Israeli military's announcement of the strikes came only 30 minutes after
the cease-fire expired at 7 a.m. (0500 GMT) Friday.
Earlier Friday, Israel accused Hamas of having violated the terms of the cease-fire,
including by firing rockets toward Israel from Gaza.
The halt in fighting began Nov. 24. It initially lasted for four days, and then
was extended for several days with the help of Qatar and fellow mediator Egypt.

“Will The US Step In To Save “Israel” Before It Is
Too Late?”
by Robert Inlakesh
Operation
al-Aqsa Flood has collapsed the Middle East policy
platform of the US Biden administration, in addition to pulling down the
curtains and revealing the true face of the Western empire. However, it seems
like the Palestinian resistance may have set in motion something else entirely,
a slippery slope to the disintegration of the Zionist entity altogether. If
Washington does not behave within rational bounds, it could lose its baby in
West Asia.
The
Zionist regime rests on a number of pillars, perhaps the most important of
which is the idea of “security” for its Jewish inhabitants. The idea of a
secure place for Jewish people, one which is uniquely for Jewish people and
nobody else, is one of the foundational motivations for building the Zionist
movement to begin with. Over the years, this is why the Zionist regime has
become one of absolute militarism, there is a worship
of the Israeli army and a kind of blind belief in it being “the most moral
army” and one that practices the “purity of arms”. As far as the evidence goes,
according to what this army has done since October 7, in Gaza, we can safely
say that it is perhaps the world’s most immoral army, one that functions to
protect an Apartheid settler regime, however, we have
to stick to the Israeli narrative for now.

September 11 in the Middle East: Israel’s
Intelligence and Military “Caught by Surprise” by Hamas Attack? Was It a “False
Flag”? Manlio Dinucci
by Manlio
Dinucci
According to the official version, the Hamas attack “caught Israel by surprise”. However,
a series of inexplicable facts do not make the official version credible.
How is it possible that the Gaza barrier was breached
with bulldozers without anyone
noticing?
The 64-kilometre barrier surrounding Gaza is made of
an underground wall equipped with sensors to prevent tunnelling, and a 6-metre
high fence with sensors, radars, cameras and automatic weapons systems
connected to a command, and is manned by soldiers.
How is it possible that on that very day, a music
festival was taking place involving thousands of young people, and located in
the desert a few kilometres from Gaza, in an area already considered dangerous
because it was within range of Hamas rockets, and moreover left without any
security force?
How is it possible when Hamas militants attacked over
20 Israeli population centres, killing (according to official figures) 1300
people, the Israeli special forces, considered among the best in the world,
did not immediately intervene with helicopters and only intervened with police
force?
How is it possible that Mossad,
considered one of the most efficient Secret Services in the world, did not
realize that Hamas was preparing its attack?
The essential answers come from an article, published
on October 8 by the Israeli newspaper The Times of
Israel:
“For years, the various governments led by Benjamin
Netanyahu have adopted a policy that has divided the Gaza Strip and the West
Bank between two different powers, bringing Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to his knees and
favouring Hamas.
Hamas was treated as a partner to the detriment of the
Palestinian Authority to prevent Abbas from moving
towards creating a Palestinian State. Hamas was promoted from a terrorist group
to an organization with which Israel conducted negotiations through Egypt, and
which was allowed to receive suitcases containing millions of dollars from
Qatar through the Gaza crossings.”
All these facts outline a scenario similar to the
terrorist attack on New York and Washington on September 11, 2001, when the
entire US intelligence and Defence System was “caught by surprise” by an
alleged Al-Qaeda attack.
Irrefutable evidence (officially ignored or dismissed
as “conspiracy”) demonstrates that 9/11 was not carried out by Al Qaeda, as a
means to trigger the “global war on terrorism” with the invasion of Afghanistan
and Iraq and subsequent wars.
Something similar is happening today in Israel,
whose entire Intelligence and Defence system was apparently “caught by
surprise” by the Hamas attack.
The strategic aim of the operation is, on the one
hand, to “put an end” to the Palestinians (so far there have been over 1,500
dead, including 500 children, and over 7000 injured) and to take over their
territories.
The Israeli command has ordered the evacuation of over
one million inhabitants, over half of the entire population, from the northern
half of Gaza. On the other hand, the strategic aim of the operation is to
trigger a chain reaction of wars in the Middle East, targeting Iran, where
the United States, Israel and the European powers are losing ground.

There are 149 states party to the Genocide

genocide in progress in Gaza and report it to the United Nations.
In
the event that another state party disputes the claim of genocide — and Israel,
the United States and the United Kingdom are all states party — then the
International Court of Justice is required to adjudicate on “the responsibility

As Israel’s
carpet bombing of Gaza entered its third week, leaving over 5000 dead and at
least one million residents displaced, a Tel Aviv-based think tank published a
blueprint for self-proclaimed Jewish state’s final solution.
In a white paper released over a week
after the Hamas-led surprise attack on Israeli military bases and kibbutzes, The Institute for National Security and Zionist
Strategy outlined “a plan for resettlement and final rehabilitation in Egypt of
the entire population of Gaza,” based on the “unique and rare opportunity to
evacuate the entire Gaza Strip” that Israel’s latest assault on the besieged
costal enclave provided.

For
all the sensationalism surrounding the events of Oct. 7, when Hamas broke
through the Gaza fence and seized territory in the Gaza Envelope as part of
Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, there is still much that we
do not know. The official Israeli death toll from the attack is estimated at
1,200 civilians, revised from an initial estimate of 1,400. Among this figure
are several hundred civilians, which Israel says were killed by Hamas
militants. Other testimony from survivors of Oct. 7 suggests an alternative
explanation—that in its fervor to defeat Hamas, Israeli commanders may have
willingly targeted and sacrificed Israeli soldiers and civilians in the
crossfire. Max Blumenthal of The Grayzone joins The Chris Hedges Report for an in-depth look.

“IDF Knew Real Hamas HQ While Lying About al-Shifa”

by Gareth Porter
While
telling the world that Hamas HQ was under al-Shifa
Hospital, the IDF had already found the actual command center 8.5km away,
reports Gareth Porter.
Although
corporate news media have made it clear they don’t buy the Israel Defense
Forces (IDF) claim that al-Shifa Hospital has been a
cover for a Hamas command and control center and weapons armory, Western media
have failed to report a much bigger story.
The
IDF and the Israeli government already knew when they launched their propaganda
campaign about al-Shifa that Hamas had no military
command and control facility hidden there because it had already found the
complex kilometers away.
As
Consortium News reported
last week, for 15 years the Israelis claimed Hamas
was operating its primary command and control base from a tunnel underneath al-Shifa. After the Israeli bombing campaign against Gaza
began in October, the Israeli military amplified that message to press its
contention that by hiding the Hamas high command, al-Shifa
Hospital had lost its immunity from military operations under the law of war,
and could now legitimately be taken over by force.
On
Nov. 11, IDF spokesman Richard Hecht declared that al-Shifa
was the “main hub of Hamas activity;” Newsweek
reported
the IDF regarded al-Shifa Hospital as “Hamas’s main
command post” and the Times of Israel headlined
“Hamas leaders again hiding under hospital”.
The
crescendo of Israeli propaganda about al-Shifa being
a “human shield” for Hamas came with a long report published by The New York Times on Nov. 14. It was
based on interviews with eight present and former intelligence and defense
officials, describing
a vast military command complex
under al-Shifa with multiple levels.
But
something quite unexpected had happened during this new round of press stories
on al-Shifa that completely demolished the entire IDF
story line: the IDF had gained control of the real Hamas command and control
center in an area where the Hamas leadership had previously had their
above-ground offices in the Al Atatra neighborhood,
in the extreme northwest of Beit Lahiya
city, 8.5km away from al-Shifa.
After
that office building was demolished, the IDF discovered a major tunnel facility
that was quite certain had been the central headquarters for the Hamas high
command — the command and control center for the entire war.
As
the IDF leaked to The
Jerusalem Post in a story
published Nov. 14, the discovery was made “several days ago” of a tunnel with
an elevator that reached thirty meters underground, compared with only five
meters underground in other tunnels. Furthermore it had been equipped
with oxygen, air conditioning and more advanced communications than seen
anywhere else.

“Lies, Lies, and More Lies”
https://off-guardian.org/2023/11/25/lies-lies-and-more-lies/
by Todd Hayen
I
was eight years old when John Kennedy was murdered. I remember getting the call
from my dad, telling me rather flatly, “the president is dead.” We were living
in Puerto Rico at the time, my dad being a US Naval officer and was stationed there. Even though I was quite young, I knew
the gravity of such an event, and as these sorts of experiences typically do,
the moment was etched in my memory—I remember every tiny detail.
Over
the years since, I have heard many stories relating to “that moment.” One in
particular that stands out is a story my sister tells. While attending a high
school assembly that infamous day, the American flag on its stand in the school
auditorium fell over with no provocation and rolled off the stage. Everyone
attending the assembly that afternoon thought it a very odd event, but had no
idea it was correlated to anything happening in the world until it was
announced an hour later that Kennedy was dead. The flag fell over precisely at
the time he was shot. Many of these events I have heard are similarly
paranormal in nature, and often are attributed to the energy generated from the
enormity of an assassinated president of a great country.
If
such a “comment from God” is the actual reason for these strange anomalies, I
would say it was not so much due to the death of a president, but more a
comment on the great lie and betrayal leveled against the American people. JFK
was murdered by his own government.
The
JFK “conspiracy theory” was my first foray into the world of government deceit
and treachery. Although at the beginnings of my personal investigation I was
not so much invested in the idea the entire government was dishonorable and
malfeasant, but maybe only a few individuals were guilty of such. In fact, at
the time, I wondered if JFK’s assassination was instigated by some outside
faction such as the American Mafia.
Whatever
the reason, I became convinced that the Warren Commission was a joke (again,
maybe a joke only because it was incompetently put together) and there was far
more to the event than what the public was officially told.
I
donned the tinfoil hat and at that moment became the proverbial conspiracy
theorist.
My
infatuation went on for years. Every new book on the JFK assassination that
came out, I was one of the first to read. At one point I became obsessed with
this intrigue and made the decision to stop digging into it all because it was
making me depressed–not just from the horrific way he was killed, but by the
now familiar feelings generated from the crumbling of the American illusion of
a decent and benevolent government. Obviously by this point in my research, I
was beginning to formulate the true story.
Kennedy’s
own government murdered him.
I
was also a bit tired of being seen by friends and family as a kook. Being
“interested” in all this was one thing, but actually believing it was another.
The JFK event is probably the granddaddy of conspiracy theories. If you include
alien stuff like UFOs, abductions, captured space crafts, etc. maybe it is
number two, but regardless, it is up there. No decent person believes such
crap.
I
think being convinced that the official story on such a massive event simply
was not true had a deep impact on how I saw the rest of the world. Although
this realization did not sink in as deeply as it should have (Covid allowed the full realization—yes, I must admit, very
late in the game) it did indeed plant the seed that compels me to question just
about everything that is in the mainstream.

“Corporate War Profiteers Finally Put on Trial”
by Jeremy Kuzmarov
In early January 2009, a
thirteen-year-old girl named Almaza Samouni watched in horror as 30 members of her family were
killed while her home in Gaza was shelled by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF)
during Operation Cast Lead. Among the victims was her brother, who was struck
by a missile while exiting the house to look for wood.
The
lethal missile that killed her brother was fired from an Apache AH-64 attack
helicopter, which had been supplied to the IDF by Boeing, a top American
defense contractor with headquarters in Arlington, Virginia.
The
coordinator of the tribunal, Brad Wolf, is a former prosecutor from Lancaster,
Pennsylvania, who works with the group Peace Action Network. He said that the
aim of the tribunal was to provide documentation over several months that would
prove how the defendants had produced weapons they knew would be used to kill
civilians in violation of international law.
Prior
to the opening of the tribunal, Wolf and his co-coordinators Kathy Kelly and
Nick Mottern, both long-time peace activists,
hand-delivered subpoenas to the corporate office in Washington, D.C., of the
defendants who stand accused of malicious disregard for human life.
When
the defendants failed to respond after 90 days, a contempt citation was issued.
Nick Mottern emphasized in his remarks at the tribunal’s opening
that a key model for the “merchants of death” tribunal is the Nuremberg trial
following World War II, in which Nazi leaders were put on trial for their
actions during World War II.
Largely
forgotten about those trials was that, in 1947, executives of the three largest
German war profiteers, Krupp, I.G. Farben and Flick,
were put on trial and held legally accountable for participating in war crimes.

“Israel Helped Hamas Grow”: Saudi Prince Rips
Netanyahu For Allowing Qatari Money Into Gaza
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDd2wHFkGGY
(3:01)
A Saudi Prince close to de facto ruler Mohammed Bin Salman has blasted Israel for allowing Qatari money to
reach Hamas-ruled Gaza over the past few years. Prince Turki
Al-Faisal, who is former Saudi intelligence chief and ambassador to U.S., said
it were Israeli Government and PM Benjamin Netanyahu who facilitated the flow
of money into Gaza from Qatar via Israeli banks. Turki
had earlier slammed Hamas for attacking Israel and also lashed Israel for
bombing and occupying Palestinian lands. Watch the video for more.

With
thousands of Israeli and Palestinian civilians slaughtered in the past week
alone, with the total blackout and bombing of civilians in Gaza happening this
very moment, with Israeli government officials speaking in openly genocidal
terms, and with US warships moving into the Mediterranean Sea, the permanent
war between occupier and occupied has boiled over into a terrifying, new, and
even more violent phase—and no one knows exactly what will happen next. In this
urgent, unscheduled episode of The Marc Steiner Show—the first installment of
an ongoing series of conversations we will have from Israel, the occupied
territories, and Gaza as the situation develops—we take you to the heart of the
war that's taking place in Palestine and Israel. We speak with journalist and
Palestine News Director for Mondoweiss Yumna Patel from Bethlehem about the events of the past
week, and Tareq S. Hajjaj, Mondoweiss’ Gaza Correspondent, sends an update on the
relentless bombing of Gaza.

“Dozens killed in latest Israeli bombing of Gaza
Mosque”
https://new.thecradle.co/articles-id/12783
by News Desk at The Cradle
At
least 50 Palestinians were killed and dozens of others injured on 15 November
after the Israeli army targeted a mosque in the besieged Gaza Strip, WAFA news agency reports.
The
attack on the Sabra neighborhood was conducted during
a congressional prayer when the mosque was full of Palestinian
worshippers.
Israel
has conducted similar attacks on places of worship since its inception; in this
war alone, multiple Mosques and churches have been leveled, including ones
dating back centuries.
On
20 October, the Israeli army destroyed the Grand Al-Omari Mosque in Jabalia, dating back
to the 7th century; it was one of the largest mosques in Palestine.
Hours
before the Al-Omari bombing, the Israeli army
targeted and destroyed the Church of Saint Porphyrios
in Gaza, the third oldest church in the world.
“We
condemn this unconscionable attack on a sacred compound and call upon the world
community to enforce protections in Gaza for sanctuaries of refuge, including
hospitals, schools, and houses of worship,” World Council of Churches
(WCC) general secretary Rev. Jerry Pillay
said in response to the bombing of the 1,400-year-old structure.
“Our
prayers go out for healing to all those wounded, along with our condolences to
Patriarch Theophilos II and all our Greek Orthodox
brothers and sisters in Christ,” Pillay
added.
Outside
of Gaza, Israel launched an airstrike against the
Al-Ansar mosque
in Jenin refugee camp, West Bank, on 22
October.
An
Israeli statement justifying the Al-Ansar Mosque
attack said it was a“joint operation between the
army and the Shin Bet” and that the strike targeted an “underground terrorist
route.”
This
has been a line used by Israel to justify their attacks on not only multiple
places of worship but also civilian residences and hospitals.
As
of 15 November, 11,470 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli airstrikes in
Gaza, of whom are 4,707 children, 3,155 women, and 686
elderly.

Opinion
| Hamas Didn’t Attack Israelis Because They Are Jewish
Jewish
protesters demand a Gaza cease-fire in Grand Central Station.
(Photo:
Jewish Voice for Peace/X)
https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/hamas-attacks-not-antisemitic
by Anna Baltzer
We
need a basic analysis of power and history to understand that Hamas’ attacks on
Israeli civilians, while egregious, had nothing to do with those Israelis’
religion and everything to do with occupation and settler colonialism.
I
had just returned from a Jewish gathering calling for a ceasefire in Gaza when
I received a startling text from a dear friend, Elena:
Anna, I went to Jewish services this
morning, which allowed me to have more capacity to read your writing. I have
been unexpectedly overcome with fear since October 7. As a Jew raised to believe Israel is the only safe place for us, it
has taken much disciplined work as an adult to open my eyes to the oppressive
colonial reality that Israel inflicts on Palestinians. I have this
consciousness now. But October 7 activated my lizard brain and all my disciplined
analysis was cut short by a primal fear. I think I’m coming back around.
In
all my urgency, I’d neglected the core thing that needed tending to in my
Jewish community: the assumption that Hamas’ attacks on October 7 were an
expression of antisemitism, and thus, a threat to all
of us.
Much
of my family was killed in the Holocaust. On my grandparents’ wedding night,
Hitler invaded their home country of Belgium. I grew up hearing my
grandmother’s stories of narrowly escaping death at every turn, the wails of
Jewish mothers over their dead children, fields of lifeless bodies. My
grandparents arrived at Ellis Island traumatized by the unfathomable murder of
their families in the gas chambers of Auschwitz while the world let it happen.
So
I can understand why many of my fellow Jewish Americans’ limbic systems were
triggered on October 7, especially in a world where antisemitism
still very much exists, particularly in the context of white nationalism. A
world where we are told the same story that Elena was, and where Palestinians
are demonized to legitimize that story.

How the US Government Buys and Sells Its Citizens
for Profit and Power
by John Whitehead
Americans have become easy prey for hackers,
scammers, snitches, spies, and con artists. But don’t be fooled into thinking the government is
protecting you.
To
the contrary, the U.S. government is selling us (or rather, our data) to the
highest bidders.
By the way, those highest bidders also include
America’s political class and the politicians aspiring to get elected or
re-elected. As the Los Angeles
Times reports, “If you have been to a political rally, a town hall,
or just fit a demographic a campaign is after, chances are good your movements are being
tracked with unnerving accuracy by data vendors on the payroll of campaigns.”
Your phones, televisions and
digital devices are selling you out to politicians who want your vote.
“Welcome to the new frontier of campaign tech — a
loosely regulated world in which simply downloading a weather app or game,
connecting to Wi-Fi at a coffee shop or powering up a home router can allow a
data broker to monitor your movements with ease, then compile the location
information and sell it to a political candidate who can use it to surround you
with messages,” writes journalist Evan Halper.
In this way, “we the people” have been reduced to
economic units to be bought, bartered and sold by all and sundry.
On a daily basis, Americans have been made to
relinquish the most intimate details of who we are—our
biological makeup, our genetic blueprints, and our biometrics (facial
characteristics and structure, fingerprints, iris scans, etc.)—in order to navigate an increasingly
technologically-enabled world.
Those intimate details, in turn, have become the
building blocks of massive databases accessed by the government and its
corporate partners in crime, vulnerable to data
breaches by hackers, cyberattacks and espionage.
For years now, and with little real oversight or restrictions,
the government has been compiling massive databases comprised of all manner of
sensitive information on the citizenry.
Biographical information. Biometric
information. Criminal backgrounds. Travel
records.
There is not a single person in the
U.S. who is not in some government database or another, and these databases are
increasingly being shared between agencies, fusion centers, and the police.
The government has also, with little oversight and
few guidelines, been adding to its massive trove of data on Americans by buying commercially
available information (CAI) from third-party sources. As a report by the Office of the
Director of National Intelligence revealed:
“[Commercially purchased data] can reveal sensitive
and intimate information about the personal attributes, private behavior,
social connections, and speech of U.S. persons and non-U.S. persons. It can be misused to pry
into private lives, ruin reputations, and cause emotional distress and threaten
the safety of individuals. Even subject to appropriate controls, CAI can increase the power of
the government’s ability to peer into private lives to levels that may exceed
our constitutional traditions or other social expectations.”
In other words, this is the diabolically sneaky way
in which the government is attempting to sidestep the Fourth Amendment, which
requires that government agents have probable cause and a warrant before spying
on Americans or searching and seizing their private property.
It’s bad enough that the government is building
massive databases comprised of our personal
information without our knowledge or consent, but then they get hacked and we
suffer for it.
Earlier this year, for instance, several federal
agencies, state governments and universities were targeted in a global cyberattack that compromised the
sensitive data of millions of Americans.
Did that stop the government’s quest to keep
building these databases which compromise our privacy and security? Of course not.
In fact, the government has also been selling our
private information. According to Vice,
Departments of Motor Vehicles in states around the country have been selling drivers’ personal
information “to thousands of businesses, including private investigators who
spy on people for a profit.”
Where there’s a will, there’s a way, and the
government has become a master at finding loopholes that allow it to exploit
the citizenry.

BitChute Asks Jim Jordan to Investigate the Deplatforming
of Parler
https://reclaimthenet.org/bitchute-asks-jim-jordan-to-investigate-the-deplatforming-of-parler
by Christina Maas
The
deplatforming of Parler and
any potential government pressure has yet to be investigated.
BitChute,
a platform for video hosting and social media, has reached out to
Representative Jim Jordan, requesting an investigation into the removal of Parler, a social media platform once favored by free speech
supporters, from online platforms. This request is part of a broader inquiry by
Jordan’s House panel into possible misuse of government power to pressure
online companies to suppress speech.
The
Chief Policy Officer at BitChute, Amy Peikoff, who previously held the same position at Parler, addressed a letter to Jordan. In it, she suggested
that the actions taken against Parler might be
similar to the coordinated efforts outlined in a report by the Select
Subcommittee on the Weaponization
of the Federal Government. This report
focused on the Censorship-Industrial Complex.
Parler,
which prided itself on minimal content moderation, was deplatformed
by key service providers in early January 2021. This move came in the aftermath
of January 6th.
Amazon
Web Services (AWS), the platform’s hosting provider, suspended
service on January 10th, citing a
violation of its terms of service due to inadequate content moderation systems.
This action followed closely on the heels of both Apple
and Google
removing Parler from their respective app stores,
thereby significantly limiting the platform’s accessibility to new users. These
moves by major tech companies effectively cut off Parler
from a significant portion of its operational infrastructure and user base,
sparking a widespread discourse on the role of large technology companies in
moderating content and their impact on public discourse.
In
her letter, Peikoff remarked, “Perhaps your focus on
the 2020 election caused you to overlook the contemporaneous deplatforming of millions of ‘everyday Americans of all
political affiliations’ in one fell swoop.”
She
went on to question whether the neglect of Parler’s
situation, which she considers crucial for maintaining competitive balance in a
free market, might have been overlooked to maintain legislative harmony.
Peikoff
concluded her correspondence by urging Jordan and his committee to examine the
Twitter Files and to include the Parler deplatforming in their investigation.

As
college senior listening to JFK’s inaugural, Ray McGovern asked himself what he
might do for his country. The answer was a no-brainer. Fluent in Russian, and
after a stint as an Army infantry/intelligence officer, Ray became a CIA
analyst – then chief of the Soviet Foreign Policy Branch, then responsible for
The President’s Daily Briefing. Only later did Ray conclude that the
“operations” people on the other side of those CIA turnstiles orchestrated the
assassination of JFK, as well as the cover-up. It became personal: Ray’s boss
in the mid-60s was the morose ‘Fred’ Janney, father
of Peter Janney, who reports the cover up (and his
own father’s role in it) in his fearless book, “Mary’s Mosaic”. 30 years ago
another book, “History Will Not Absolve Us”, challenged
us to confront our instinctual preference to remain in denial. Today, 60 years
after the murder, history will STILL not absolve us for being silent – or
assuaging our consciences by just writing stuff. We know what happened to
President Kennedy. And we know why. This would be a good day to pull up the
shade on how he died and why it matters – and to honor his legacy by spreading
some truth about the “process of peace” for which he gave his life. Ray

The Life and Public Assassination of President John
F. Kennedy by the CIA
by Edward Curtin, Jr
Why
President Kennedy was publicly murdered by the CIA sixty years ago has never
been more important. All pseudo-debates to the contrary – including the
numerous and growing claims that it was not the U.S. national security state
but the Israelis that assassinated the president, which exonerates the CIA –
the truth about the assassination has long been evident. There is nothing
to debate unless one is some sort of intelligence operative, has an obsession,
or is out to make a name or a buck. I suggest that all those annual JFK
conferences in Dallas should finally end, but my guess is that they will be
rolling along for many more decades. To make an industry out of a tragedy
is wrong. And these conferences are so often devoted to examining and
debating minutiae that are a distraction from the essential truth.
As
for the corporate mainstream media, they will never admit the truth but will
continue as long as necessary to titillate the public with lies, limited
hangouts, and sensational non-sequiturs. To do otherwise would require
admitting that they have long been complicit in falsely reporting the crime and
the endless coverup. That
they are arms of the CIA and NSA.

(audio, 1:09:53)
"Our
duty today, our major task, is to stop the bloodshed and violence," Putin
said on Wednesday during a Kremlin meeting with Russian religious leaders of
various religions, according to a Kremlin transcript. The Russian president,
who has been conducting an all-out war in neighbouring
Ukraine since February of last year, stated in phone calls with other world
leaders that if Israel's military operation in Gaza did not end, there was a
chance of a much larger conflagration. "Any further escalation of the issue
will have grave, exceedingly dangerous, and devastating implications." And
not just for the Middle East. It has the potential to go well beyond the
confines of the Middle East," he continued. In remarks critical of the
West, he stated that certain nameless forces were attempting to incite more
escalation and bring as many other countries and peoples into the battle as
possible. He stated that the goal was to "start a true wave of anarchy and
mutual enmity not only in the Middle East but well beyond its borders."
They are attempting, among other things, to use the national and religious
sentiments of millions of people for this goal." The Kremlin said on
Thursday that efforts to reach an agreement on a "balanced" UN
Security Council resolution on the Israel-Hamas conflict should continue. This
comes a day after Russia and China vetoed a US-drafted resolution calling for a
"humanitarian halt" to allow aid access, civilian protection, and an
end to supplying Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza. Diplomats have pointed
out that a humanitarian halt is not the same as a ceasefire, which UN
Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has supported. A
pause could last only a few hours. Russia submitted a competing UN plan that
argued for a broader ceasefire, which it claims is "far more
balanced," but it fell short of the required number of votes.

“The Islamic State (ISIS), the Pentagon’s “’Caliphate
Project’ and the ‘Global War on Terrorism’”
by Prof Michel Chossudovsky
In
the post 9/11 era, the terrorist threat from Al Qaeda constitutes the building
block of US-NATO military doctrine. It justifies –under a humanitarian mandate–
the conduct of “counter-terrorism operations” Worldwide.
Known
and documented, Al Qaeda affiliated entities have been used by US-NATO in
numerous conflicts as “intelligence assets” since the heyday of the
Soviet-Afghan war. In Syria, the Al Nusrah and ISIS
rebels are the foot-soldiers of the Western military alliance, which in turn
oversees and controls the recruitment and training of paramilitary forces.
While
the US State Department is accusing several countries of “harboring
terrorists”, America is the Number One “State Sponsor of Terrorism”:
The Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) –which operates in both Syria and
Iraq– is covertly supported and financed by the US and its allies including
Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Moreover, the Islamic State of Iraq and
al-Sham’s Sunni caliphate project coincides with a longstanding US agenda to
carve up both Iraq and Syria into separate territories: A Sunni Islamist
Caliphate, an Arab Shia Republic, a Republic of
Kurdistan, among others.
The
US-led Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) constitutes the cornerstone of US
military doctrine. “Going after Islamic terrorists” is part and parcel of
non-conventional warfare. The underlying objective is to justify the conduct of
counter-terrorism operations Worldwide, which enables the US and its allies to
intervene in the affairs of sovereign countries.
Many
progressive writers, including alternative media, while focusing on recent
developments in Iraq, fail to understand the logic behind the “Global War on
Terrorism.” The Islamic State of Iraq and Al Cham (ISIS) is often considered as
an “independent entity” rather than an instrument of the Western military
alliance. Moreover, many committed anti-war activists –who oppose the tenets
of the US-NATO military agenda– will nonetheless endorse Washington’s
counter-terrorism agenda directed against Al Qaeda:. The Worldwide terrorist
threat is considered to be “real”: “We are
against the war, but we support the Global War on Terrorism”.
The
Caliphate Project and The US National Intelligence
Council Report
A
new gush of propaganda has been set in motion. The leader of the now defunct
Islamic State of Iraq and Al Cham (ISIS) Abu Bakr
al-Baghdadi announced on June 29, 2014 the creation of an Islamic State:
Fighters
loyal to the group’s proclaimed “Caliph Ibrahim ibn Awwad”, or Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as he was known until Sunday’s July 1st
announcement, are inspired by the Rashidun caliphate,
which succeeded the Prophet Muhammad in the seventh century, and is revered by
most Muslims.” (Daily Telegraph, June 30, 2014)
In
a bitter irony, the caliphate project as an instrument of propaganda has been
on the drawing board of US intelligence for more than ten years. In
December 2004, under the Bush Administration, the National Intelligence Council
(NIC) predicted that in the year 2020 a New Caliphate extending from the
Western Mediterranean to Central Asia and South East Asia would emerge,
threatening Western democracy and Western values.
The
“findings” of the National Intelligence Council were published in a 123 page
unclassified report entitled “Mapping
the Global Future”.
“A
New Caliphate provides an example of how a global movement fueled by radical
religious identity politics could constitute a challenge to Western norms
and values as the foundation of the global system”
(emphasis added)
The
NIC 2004 report borders on
ridicule; it is devoid of intelligence, let alone historical and geopolitical
analysis. Its fake narrative pertaining to the caliphate, nonetheless, bears a
canny resemblance to the June 29, 2014 highly publicized PR announcement of the
creation of the Caliphate by ISIS leader Abu Bakr
al-Baghdadi.
The
NIC report presents a so-called “fictional scenario of a letter from a
fictional grandson of Bin Ladin to a family relative
in 2020.” It is on this basis that it makes predictions for the year
2020. Based on an invented bin Laden grandson letter narrative rather than on
intelligence and empirical analysis, the US intelligence community concludes
that the caliphate constitutes a real danger for the Western World and Western
civilization.
From
a propaganda standpoint, the objective underlying the Caliphate project –as
described by the NIC– is to demonize Muslims with a view to justifying a
military crusade:
“The
fictional scenario portrayed below provides an example of how a global
movement fueled by radical religious identity could emerge.
Under
this scenario, a new Caliphate is proclaimed and manages to advance a powerful
counter ideology that has widespread appeal.
It
is depicted in the form of a hypothetical letter from a fictional grandson of
Bin Ladin to a family relative in 2020.
He
recounts the struggles of the Caliph in trying to wrest control from
traditional regimes and the conflict and confusion which ensue both within the
Muslim world and outside between Muslims and the United States, Europe, Russia
and China. While the Caliph’s success in mobilizing support varies, places far
outside the Muslim core in the Middle East—in Africa and Asia—are convulsed as
a result of his appeals.
The
scenario ends before the Caliph is able to establish both spiritual and
temporal authority over a territory— which historically has been the case for
previous Caliphates. At the end of the scenario, we identify lessons to be
drawn.”(“Mapping
the Global Future”. p. 83)
.
. .
This
“authoritative” NIC “Mapping
the Global Future” report was not
only presented to the White House, the Congress and the Pentagon, it was also
dispatched to America’s allies. The “threat emanating from the Muslim World”
referred to in the NIC report (including the section on the caliphate project)
is firmly entrenched in US-NATO military doctrine.
The
NIC document was intended to be read by top officials. Broadly speaking it was
part of the “Top official” (TOPOFF) propaganda campaign which targets senior
foreign policy and military decision-makers, not to mention scholars,
researchers and NGO “activists”. The objective is to ensure that “top
officials” continue to believe that Islamic terrorists are threatening the
security of the Western World.
The
underpinnings of the caliphate scenario is the “Clash of Civilizations”, which
provides a justification in the eyes of public opinion for America to intervene
Worldwide as part of a global counter- terrorism agenda.
From
a geopolitical and geographic standpoint, the caliphate constitutes a broad
area in which the US is seeking to extend its economic and strategic influence.
In the words of Dick Cheney pertaining to the 2004 NIC’s report:
“They
talk about wanting to re-establish what you could refer to as the Seventh
Century Caliphate. This was the world as it was organized 1,200, 1,300
years, in effect, when Islam or Islamic people controlled everything from
Portugal and Spain in the West; all through the Mediterranean to North
Africa; all of North Africa; the Middle East; up into the Balkans; the Central
Asian republics; the southern tip of Russia; a good swath of India; and on
around to modern day Indonesia. In one sense from Bali
and Jakarta on one end, to Madrid on the other.” Dick Cheney

“Women’s Rights in Afghanistan: ‘Before’ and ‘After’
America’s Destructive Wars”
by Prof Michel Chossudovsky
The NeoCons’
agenda is not to “win the war” but to engineer the breakup of
sovereign nation states, destroy their culture and national identity,
derogate fundamental values and human rights.
The strategic objective is to trigger
political and social chaos, engineer the collapse of national economies,
appropriate the countries’ wealth and resources, impoverish
the entire Planet including the American Homeland.
It’s a mesh of weapons of mass
destruction, covert intelligence operations, propaganda and “strong economic
medicine”. The criminality of the US/NATO hegemonic agenda is beyond
description.
This short article focusses
on Women’s Rights in Afghanistan “Before” and “After”
the conduct of Washington’s “Humanitarian War” against Afghanistan, which commenced
at the height of the Cold War in 1979. It was a carefully planned
intelligence operation. The CIA was
directly involved from the outset in recruiting and supporting the “Islamic
brigades”.
A second war and invasion of
Afghanistan under US-NATO auspices was carried on October 7 2001, four
weeks after the tragic events of 9/11.
Prior to the CIA Sponsored “Islamic
Insurgency”
against the People
of Afghanistan
“Before”.
Unknown to Americans, in the 1970s and
early 1980s, Kabul was “a cosmopolitan city. Artists and hippies flocked to the
capital. Women studied agriculture, engineering and business at the city’s
university. Afghan women held government jobs”.
Prior to the rise of the Taliban [which
was instrumented by the CIA], women in Afghanistan were protected under law and
increasingly afforded rights in Afghan society. Women received the right to
vote in the 1920s; and as early as the 1960s, the Afghan constitution provided
for equality for women. There was a mood of tolerance and openness as the
country began moving toward democracy.
Women were making important
contributions to national development. In 1977, women comprised over 15% of
Afghanistan’s highest legislative body. It is estimated that by the early
1990s, 70% of schoolteachers, 50% of government workers and university
students, and 40% of doctors in Kabul were women. (Bureau of Democracy and Human Rights, U.S.

Osama bin Laden,
America’s bogyman, was recruited by the CIA in 1979 at the very
outset of the US sponsored jihad.
He was 22 years old and was trained in a
CIA sponsored guerilla training camp. The architects of the covert
operation in support of “Islamic fundamentalism” launched during the Reagan
presidency played a key role in launching the “Global War on Terrorism”
(GWOT) in the wake of 9/11.
Under the Reagan adminstration,
US foreign policy evolved towards the unconditional support and endorsement of
the Islamic “freedom fighters”. In today’s World, the “freedom fighters”
are labelled “Islamic terrorists”.

Undertaking. Who’s Behind It?
“A once

According to the UN, Afghanistan is

It should be understood that this war
started more than 40 years ago in 1979 with the CIA recruitment of jihadist
mercenaries (Al Qaeda) funded by the trade in narcotics.
The endgame was to destroy Afghanistan
as a progressive and independent nation state committed to education, culture
and women’s rights.”
What the media describes as the
“tyrannical policies of the Taliban” bears the footprints of the CIA which
imposed Islamic Fundamentalism, while concurrently engineering the collapse
and impoverishment of a progressive secular Nation State.
President Ronald Reagan issued (and
signed) the National
Security Decision Directive 166 (NSDD 166), which de facto authorized “stepped-up covert military aid to the Mujahideen” as well as CIA support to religious
indoctrination.
. . .
The promotion of “Radical Islam” was a
deliberate CIA initiative (NSDD 166) which in the wake of 9/11 has
served as justification to waging a “Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) in
the Middle East, Central Asia, Southeast Asia and sub–Saharan Africa.
Our Thoughts are with the People of
Afghanistan.

“This Israel
has no future in the Middle East”
by Marwan Bishara
Israel’s
sadistic war on Gaza, the culmination of a long series of criminal policies,
may well prove suicidal in the long term and lead to the demise of the mighty
“Jewish State”.
Indeed, Israel’s deliberate,
industrial-scale murder of the Palestinian people under the pretext of “self-defence” won’t enhance its security or secure its future.
Rather, it will produce greater insecurity and instability, further isolate
Israel and undermine its chances for long-term survival in a predominantly
hostile region.
In truth, I never thought Israel could have much of
a future in the Middle East without shedding its colonial regime and embracing
normal statehood. For a short while in the early 1990s, it seemed as if Israel
was changing direction towards some form of normalcy, albeit dependent on the
United States. It engaged the Palestinians and Arab states in the region in a
“peace process” that promised mutual existence under favourable
American auspices.
But Israel’s colonial nature dominated its behaviour at each and every turn. It wasted countless
opportunities to end its occupation and live in peace with its neighbours. To paraphrase Israeli diplomat Abba Eban’s infamous quip, Israel “never missed an opportunity
to miss an opportunity”.

“It’s

Gaza by whatever means it can, by starving people into leaving, expelling them,

“US Weapons Shipments to Israel Are Enabling War
Crimes”
by Stephen Semler
Joe Biden is fast-tracking weapons
shipments to Israel to support its assault on Gaza. The types of weapons being
sent have been used repeatedly by the Israeli military to attack and kill
civilians during the last 15 years alone.
Earlier
this month, Human Rights Watch called for an arms embargo on Israel and armed
groups in Palestine, “given the real risk that they will be used to commit
grave abuses,” an organizational statement said.
“Providing weapons that knowingly and significantly would contribute to
unlawful attacks can make those providing them complicit in war crimes.”
The
Biden administration is doing exactly that. A recently leaked
internal document from the Pentagon reveals the weapons
the Biden administration is fast-tracking to Israel in support of its military
offensive in Gaza. Based on my review of forensic investigations published by
human rights and news organizations, these same types of weapons have been used
repeatedly by the Israeli military to attack and kill civilians during the last
fifteen years alone.

“Hamas Winning Battle for Gaza”
by Scott Ritter
The recently announced ceasefire is a
blessing for Palestinians and Israelis alike—a chance for prisoners to be
exchanged, humanitarian aid to be distributed to those in need, and for
emotions on both sides of the conflict to cool down.
While
the ceasefire, negotiated between Israel and Hamas by Qatar, was mutually
agreed between the two parties, let no one be fooled into thinking this was
anything less than a victory for Hamas. Israel had taken a very
aggressive position that, given its
stated objective of destroying Hamas as an organization, it would not agree to
a ceasefire under any conditions.
Hamas,
on the other hand, had made one of its primary objectives in initiating the
current round of fighting with Israel the release of Palestinian prisoners, and
in particular women and children, held by Israel. Seen in this light, the
ceasefire represents an important victory for Hamas, and a humiliating defeat
for Israel.
One
of the reasons Israel eschewed a ceasefire was that it was confident that the
offensive operation it had launched into northern Gaza was going to neutralize Hamas as a military threat,
and that any ceasefire, regardless of the humanitarian justification, would
only buy time for a defeated Hamas enemy to rest, refit, and regroup. That
Israel signed on to a ceasefire is the surest sign yet that all is not well
with the Israeli offensive against Hamas.
This
outcome should not have come as a surprise to anyone. When Hamas launched its
October 7 attack on Israel, it initiated a plan years in the making. The
meticulous attention to detail that was evident in the Hamas operation
underscored the reality that Hamas had been studying the Israeli intelligence
and military forces arrayed against it, uncovering weaknesses that were
subsequently exploited. The Hamas action represented more than sound tactical
and operational planning and execution—it was a masterpiece in strategic
conceptualization as well.
One
of the main reasons behind the Israeli defeat on October 7 was the fact that
the Israeli government was convinced that Hamas would never attack,
regardless of what the intelligence analysts charged with watching Hamas
activity in Gaza were saying. This failure of imagination came about by Hamas
having identified the political goals and objectives of Israel (the
nullification of Hamas as a resistance organization by undertaking a policy
built on “buying” Hamas through an expanded program of work permits issued by
Israel for Palestinians living in Gaza.) By playing along with the work permit
program, Hamas lulled the Israeli leadership into complacency,
allowing Hamas’ preparations for their attack to be carried out in plain view.

“Kissinger’s
Bombing Campaign Likely Killed Hundreds of Thousands of Cambodians and Set the
Path for the Ravages of the Khmer Rouge”
by Sophal
Ear
Henry
Kissinger, who died on Nov. 29, 2023 at the age of 100, stood as a colossus of U.S. foreign policy. His influence on American politics lasted long
beyond his eight-year stint guiding the Nixon and Ford administrations as
national security adviser and secretary of state, with successive presidents, presidential candidates and top diplomats
seeking his advice and approval ever since.
But
his mark extends beyond the United States. Kissinger’s policies in the 1970s
had immediate impact on countries, governments and people across South America, the Middle East
and Southeast Asia.
Sometimes the fallout – and it was that – lasted decades; in some places it
continues to be felt today. Nowhere is that more true than Cambodia.
I’m
a scholar of the political economy of Cambodia who, as a child, escaped the brutal Khmer Rouge
regime with four siblings, thanks in large part to the cunning and
determination of my mother. In both a professional and personal sense, I am
aware of the near 50-year impact Kissinger’s policies during the Vietnam War have
had on the country of my birth.
The
rise of the murderous regime that forced my family to leave was, in part,
encouraged by Kissinger’s policies. The cluster bombs dropped on Cambodia under
Kissinger’s watch continue to destroy the lives of any man, woman or child who happens across them.
Indeed, when the current U.S. administration announced its intention in 2023 to
provide cluster bombs to Ukraine, the prime minister of Cambodia was quick to
call out the lingering damage the munition
causes.

“In Praise of
Whistleblowers. Biden Administration Accused of ‘Spreading
Misinformation’ regarding Covid-19 Pandemic and 9/11”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/praise-whistleblowers/5840991
by Prof. Bill Willers
A
State Department official, Sylvia Yacoub, not only has accused the Biden Administration of “spreading
misinformation”, but also of being “complicit in genocide”. Her 5-page
memo was
signed by 100 State Department and USAID officials in a State Department system
that, unfortunately, is not for public view.
Still, it reveals that conflict exists within governmental structures. In the
case of this memo, the impact is certain to be essentially zero. It’s as if
leadership is saying, “OK, you’re critical, but now back to work.” So then, how
does someone aware of dangerous or treasonous activity make it known to a
larger public that needs it?
There
is a vast storehouse of secrets within the hundreds of thousands of people in
America’s federal alphabet agencies, e.g. CDC, CIA, FDA, EPA, DHS, FBI. There are many more “3-letters”, of course, but
those 6 are high in the public mind. Every one impacts on the public’s
perception of the Covid-19 Pandemic — of the early lies about there being no
existing treatment thus forcing the world toward an untested genetic therapy misnamed
“vaccine”, of the relentless in-your-face lies of “safe and effective”, of the
censoring of alternative medical views, of hiding the fact of mortality
rates vastly higher in the vaccinated. Things like that. Those 6 agencies alone account
for ~600,000 federal employees, many who know much about which We The People are intentionally kept in the dark.
Leaderships of the 6 listed adhere with military
fidelity to the official story of the Pandemic, now known to be full of
orchestrated deceptions. But enforced
conformity to a narrative is a key to “success” in dealing with a pandemic,
according to Event 201’s strategy as framed mere weeks before the Covid-19
Pandemic was declared.
And
when you follow details of Pandemic-related issues in play, you can see their
“success” is disastrous to the massive “lower class” — essentially all of
humanity that is to remain after the globalist’s Great Reset and the extinguishing of the middle class that
is now in progress.
If
you look at the Covid-19 Pandemic as an isolated issue, you’re overlooking its
role in the ongoing surge toward One World Government, with its involvements in
genocide, genetic manipulation and the melding of mind with machine.
The
Covid 19 Pandemic is like a mile marker of the road
toward One World Government as summarized by David Rockefeller
“We
are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and
other publications, whose directors have attended our meetings and respected
their promises of discretion for almost forty years.
It
would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had
been subjected to the bright lights of publicity. But the world is now more
sophisticated and prepared to march toward a world government.”
The
Covid-19 Pandemic has served as a stepping stone toward the “success” of
globalist strategy, as it justified
a major increase in governmental oppression in the name of “public health”, the
most politicized and weaponized “scientific
discipline” of human experience.
But
there’s much more than health related issues. Consider Department of Homeland
Security collusion with social media to censor Americans.
The
DHS is also responsible for the disintegration of America’s southern border and
in protecting the surge of millions of illegal aliens into the United States, here
able to establish “sleeper cells” of military-age men from all over the world.
The slow stepwise introduction of globalist initiatives, such as the ongoing
eroding of national boundaries everywhere, makes the relentless move toward One
World Government invisible to oblivious citizens. This
facilitating the establishment of a potential army within the United States
makes “treason” seem much too tame a charge. And the hell of it is that
most Americans seem barely aware of what’s taking place under their feet.
Likewise,
the FBI has everything — absolutely everything! to
expose overnight the lie of the preposterous Official 9/11 “narrative”.
Whatever
hit the Pentagon was videotaped from all angles by security cams, and that
visual record would demolish the ridiculous story of an aluminum tube punching
a clean hole through the Pentagon’s massively reinforced exterior.
Showing
the rocket hitting the Pentagon (at the precise point to take out budget
analysts tracking “lost” trillions of dollars) would slap even the stupidest awake. Alas, every tape available was immediately
confiscated by the FBI and remains concealed. But can’t we — and shouldn’t we
— assume that within the FBI some have enough strength of character to
discern the rot in an FBI leadership that would make the agency such a weapon
against the public? These are only two examples, but research into the actions
and connections of just about any federal agency is certain to yield questions
wanting answers that, like the FBI videos mentioned, are kept hidden.
Tyrannical
elements of government persist when their evil projects are not exposed by
staff who should be letting us see them. Taking a
position in a governmental agency in no way requires obedient support
regardless of whatever corrupt project a traitorous leadership for the moment
might have in the works. Public servants, regardless of where situated in any
agency’s pecking order, are not obliged to shift allegiance to anything other
than the public. In the end, for every governmental employee the group to be
served is The People in the most expansive sense.
Revealing
criminal acts of state carries risk. A recent example is of four chemists who
struggled with the demands of their EPA superiors for data manipulation posing
an obvious threat to public health. Despite the atmosphere of intimidation (The
EPA drips with internal rot), ethics demanded that they expose the situation
to The Intercept, and this brief
report is a quick
lesson in regulatory agency-industry collusion and in the kind of pressures
staff throughout governmental agencies face in this era in which corruption
almost seems to have become “normalized”.

“Visegrád 24: The Polish
Government-Funded Fake News Factory Driving The Online
Israel-Palestine News Cycle”
https://www.mintpressnews.com/visegrad-24-news-factory-driving-online-israel-palestine-news/286382/
by Alan Macleod
Named by Gizmodo as the most
influential source of news on Israel/Palestine on Twitter/X, Visegrád 24 has shot to prominence, amassing more than one
million followers across social media platforms. Yet it has consistently shared
blatantly false information in an attempt to ramp up support for the state of
Israel’s crimes in Gaza. Worse still, the semi-anonymous account pushing a
far-right agenda worldwide is known to be funded by the deeply conservative
Polish government.
A
Viral Sensation
If
you have spent any amount of time on social media following the Israeli attack
on Gaza, you are sure to have come across Visegrád 24
and its ultra-viral content. The Polish news aggregator is perhaps an unlikely
candidate to become a key player in the information war. But in just a few
short weeks, it has gained hundreds of thousands of followers across its
platforms, especially Twitter/ and TikTok (currently
at 843,000 and 183,000 followers, respectively).
A
study published by the Center for an Informed Public at the University of
Washington, titled “The New Elites of X,” identified Visegrád 24 as the most
influential account engaged in Israel/Palestine discourse. One measure of its
reach is that, in the first three days following Hamas’ surprise attack, the
six traditional media outlets with the most followers on Twitter/X (CNN
Breaking News, CNN, the New York Times, BBC Breaking News, BBC World News and
Reuters) who collectively have nearly 300 million followers, received 112
million views on Israel/Palestine related content. Visegrád
24, by comparison, received 370 million views over the same period. Since then,
its influence has only grown.
Its
massive reach has led many to equate it with reliability, and the account is
regularly cited in establishment media such as Newsweek or Fox News. But this
is far from the case. Indeed, its accounts appear to exist to lionize Israel
and its supporters, demonize Palestine and its supporters, fearmonger
about refugees, and promote ultra-conservative politics in general.
Fake
News Factory
Part
of what makes Visegrád 24’s rise problematic is its
propensity to publish blatantly fake news. Earlier this month, for example, it posted
footage of Israeli satirist Yoni Sharon playing a character mocking
Palestinians, telling its audience he was a real Palestinian.
“A
Palestinian man thanks Hamas for making sure that all the Palestinian people
who used to commute into Israel to work will now be unemployed. He also thanks
Hamas for making sure Palestinian kids will no longer receive surgeries in

“Propaganda Blitz: How Mainstream Media Is Pushing
Fake Palestine Stories”
by Alan Macleod
Extraordinary
Claims, Zero Evidence
One
case in point is the claim that, during their incursion into southern Israel,
Hamas fighters stopped to round up, kill and mutilate 40 Israeli babies,
beheading them and leaving their bodies behind.
The
extraordinary assertion was originally reported by the Israeli channel i24
News, which based it on anonymous Israeli military sources. Despite offering no
proof whatsoever, this highly inflammatory claim about an enemy made by an
active participant in a conflict was picked up and repeated across the world by
a host of media (e.g., in the United States by Fox News, CNN, MSN, Business Insider, and The New York Post).
Meanwhile,
the front pages of the United Kingdom’s largest newspapers were festooned with the story, the press outraged at the atrocity
and inviting their readers to feel the same way.
Extraordinary
claims should require extraordinary evidence, and a story like this should have
been met with serious skepticism, given who was making the claim. The first
question any reporter should have asked was, “Where is the evidence?” Given
multiple opportunities to stand by it, the IDF continually distanced itself
from the claims. Nevertheless, the story was simply too useful not to publish.

with Mnar Adley and Issa Amro
(50:51)
Coming
back to his house on October 7, world-renowned activist Issa Amro was dragged away by 15 armed Israelis, blindfolded,
gagged, and cuffed so tightly he now needs an operation on his hands. The
settlers and soldiers kept him imprisoned for days, beating and torturing him,
constantly simulating his execution.
Speaking with MintPress
News, Amro told the story of what life is like for
Palestinians living in the West Bank city of Hebron. “In my city where I live now, since October 7,
there is a curfew,” he told Mnar Adley
and Alan MacLeod.
But
this curfew is far more restrictive than others. Palestinian families – those
who have not already fled the genocidal Israeli violence – are given only six
hours a week to leave their homes. They are not even allowed out into their own
yards. This means that school has stopped, work has ended, and life is on
pause.
In
those six hours, Palestinian families must buy all their food, pick up
essentials such as medicine and conduct any social activities. But being
outside is dangerous, as they have to pass though multiple checkpoints with
armed guards and AI smart shooters pointing guns at them. Violence from
vigilante settler groups is also a danger.
“It’s
scary to walk alone between armed soldiers and armed settlers, all of them
pointing their guns at you. Then, when you come back, it takes them five to ten
minutes to search every person,” Amro said, revealing
that the guards wanted to go so far as to cut open his potatoes and tomatoes to
check for “weapons.”
“It’s
a kind of jail” right now, Amro said, although he
notes that being in jail is considerably safer than being a Palestinian in
Hebron right now.
Issa
Amro is an activist and the co-founder of the
grassroots group Youth Against Settlements. He has led
campaigns of non-violent civil disobedience against apartheid and Israeli
occupation and has been recognized and given awards by international
organizations, including the United Nations. He joins MintPress

“India’s Massive Shift in Military Policy”
U.S. Secretary
of Defense Lloyd Austin on the red carpet in New Delhi on Nov. 9. (DoD, Chad J.
McNeeley)
https://consortiumnews.com/2023/11/21/indias-massive-shift-in-military-policy/
by M.K. Bhadrakumar
If the United
States is a declining power and China’s rise inevitable in the Indo-Pacific; if
Russia regards itself as a global power and is determined to bury the
U.S.-dominated rules-based order; if the defeat of the U.S. and NATO in the
Ukraine war has become a fait accompli; if Canada was encouraged by the U.S. to
fret and fume over alleged Indian
involvement in the killing of the Canadian Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian
soil; if Israel’s bloodbath in Gaza is actually genocide — well, India’s
policymakers haven’t heard any of this.
That
is the message from the U.S.-Indian 2+2 foreign and defence
ministers meeting in New Delhi on Nov. 10.
The
big picture is that after audaciously claiming the mantle of leadership of the
Global South as recently as in September, in a span of over two months, India
is gliding over to the American camp as the U.S.’ indispensable ally, even
aspiring to be a “global defence hub” with Pentagon’s
help.
The
following were some of the takeaways at the 2+2 meeting:
·
Sharing
technology relating to “maritime challenges, including in the undersea
domain”;
·
co-development
and co-production of ground mobility systems;
·
India to undertake
U.S. aircraft maintenance and mid-voyage repair of U.S. naval vessels;
·
U.S. investment
in India’s maintenance, repair, and overhaul of U.S. aircraft and unmanned
aerial vehicles;
·
finalisation of a Security of Supply Arrangement, which will
deepen the integration of defence industrial
ecosystems and strengthening of supply chain resilience;
·
creation of new
liaison positions between the two armed forces further to India’s full
membership of the multinational Combined Maritime Forces, headquartered in Bahrain;
·
Maximisation of the scope of the Logistics and Exchange
Memorandum Agreement, and identify steps to enhance the reach of the U.S. naval
vessels to Indian bases.
No
doubt, the above is only the tip of the iceberg, while this extraordinary
transition in Indian policies will largely remain behind closed-doors. The U.S.
seems supremely confident that India is ready to enter into an exclusive
alliance, something that New Delhi never sought with any big power. What is the
offer that the Biden administration has made to India that the latter cannot
refuse?

https://consortiumnews.com/2023/11/21/south-africa-can-use-its-nuclear-stance-to-pressure-israel/
by Hügo Krüger
Israel’s response
to the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks by Hamas has not only been disproportionate,
but clearly exceeded the basic limits of international law and in particular
the Geneva convention.
The
assault on Gaza that has seen the death of over 11,000 civilians,
of whom almost half are children, also includes using food as a weapon of war, collective punishment and ethnic cleansing with almost half of Gazans having their homes destroyed as they are marched alongside Israeli soldiers from the north to the south of the enclave.
Under
the excuse
that Hamas is using the population as “human shields,” a claim that has never
been verified by independent sources, Israel has bombed universities,
hospitals and
U.N. refugee camps and continued its annexation of the West Bank by constructing more illegal settlements outside of
its 1967 borders.
South
Africa’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Naledi Pandor has asked for its ambassador to be withdrawn from Israel, in the hope of sending the message that Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government will be increasingly isolated
internationally if it continues the assault on Gaza and the policy of
apartheid.

“Netanyahu’s Vicious Attack on Civilians, The
Violence is Unlimited: Unintended Consequences of Israel’s Assault on Palestine”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/unintended-consequences-israel-assault-palestine/5841339
by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts
According
to the Zionist propaganda Hamas is a collection of evil beasts. How do we
reconcile this propaganda with the “excellent condition” of the Israeli women
and children hostages released by Hamas?
Despite
the Israeli devastation of Gaza and murder of Palestinian women and children,
Hamas has obtained a victory of sorts.
Netanyahu’s
vicious attack on civilians has exposed the underbelly of the Apartheid Zionist
State. It is no longer possible for Israel’s apologists to maintain that
“Israel can do no wrong.”
For
decades Israel has been slowly but surely squeezing Palestinians out of Palestine.
The
world has tolerated it, in part because the Zionist violence was limited in
time and extent and the impossible situation papered over with talk about the
“two-state solution.” But this time, the violence is unlimited and has
the declared aim of emptying Palestine of Palestinians with Gazans
driven into tent cities in Eqypt’s Sinai Desert. It
is not another case of emptying one specific village in the West Bank or a
limited incursion into Gaza. This time the world is faced with a declared
Zionist agenda of genocide.
This
makes a problem for the Western governments that pretend to support human
rights and to deplore war crimes. It also makes a problem for American
evangelicals known as “Christian Zionists.” Genocide is not something
that can be reconciled with the teachings of Jesus. The evangelicals will
have to decide between worshipping Israel and worshipping Jesus.
A
consequence of Washington’s wars for Israel in the Middle East is that Western
countries are now the homes of millions of Muslim refugees who take umbrage to
the West’s support of Palestinian genocide. This introduces into the
Western countries countervailing power at the
street level to the Zionist lobby that focuses on controlling the
governments. Western governments now have a new element of instability to manage, and the consequence could be a less one-sided stance
toward Zionist Israel.
Not
all of Israel is Zionist. Netanyahu has minority support. The outcome
could be different for Israel than Netanyahu and his US neoconservative allies
intended.

“An
Open Letter to Members of the United States Congress on Hamas-Israel-Gaza
Genocide”
by Ralph Nader
We
are writing to exercise our First Amendment to petition Congress for redress of
grievances. We are urging Congress to end the United States’ unconditional,
close, and continual military and intelligence support of Israel in its ongoing
physical destruction of 2.3 million Palestinians residing in Gaza. The United
States is responsible for genocide under any plain reading of the Genocide
Convention.

“Gaslight
(1940) - Film, Literature and the New World Order”

with James Corbett
(41:22)
In
this edition of Film, Literature and the New World Order we welcome Thomas
Sheridan, author of The Anvil of the Psyche, to discuss Gaslight, the 1940
British psychological thriller that introduced us to the concept of 'gaslighting.' In the discussion we point out how common gaslighting is, ask "Are you being gaslighted?",
talk about techniques for defending oneself from gaslighting,
and talk about how this technique is used on a societal level by the
psychopaths at the top of the pyramid.

“The
Cult of Safety Explodes”
from Robert W Malone
MD, MS
Is a "Cuidado
Piso Mojado" sign
really needed?
by
Thomas Buckley
It
was the 1970s. Dry cleaning bags lurked quietly behind couches waiting
patiently for the opportunity to pounce on the hapless child who dropped a Lego
nearby. Unguarded five-gallon buckets stood brazenly in the middle of basement
floors hoping to entice their next drowning victim. Discarded refrigerators
prowled the land looking for unsuspecting eight-year-olds to gobble up. GI Joes
and Barbies, with the help of their little owners,
were making out everywhere.
It
is the 2020s. Entire schools ban peanut butter and jelly sandwiches because
maybe one kid might have an allergy. Parents get visits from county protective
services for letting their children play unsupervised in the park across the
street. Jungle gyms are an endangered species. And third-graders are taught to
not impose cisnormative constructs, let alone
behaviors, on anyone or anything.
The
odd thing is that the events described in the first paragraph (except the GI
Joe one) were not actually happening on any grand scale. The sad thing is that
the events in the second paragraph are.
Admittedly
there were children – one assumes – who did manage to trap themselves inside
random refrigerators, hence the televised public service announcements
(seriously, and such a seventies solution) asking the public to at least take
the handle off of the appliance before heaving it over an embankment or leaving
it in a burned-lot in the Bronx.
And
admittedly – again, one assumes – a child somewhere somehow managed to get themselves tangled up in a dry cleaning bag. As to the
bucket problem, that one is rather hard to fathom but it must have happened at
least once to spawn the lawsuit that forced manufacturers to put drowning
warnings – complete with a graphic depiction of the inept toddler – on their
buckets.
Whether
it was caused by the misadventures of Darwin’s children, the ever-burgeoning
personal injury litigation field, a cherry-picking sensationalist media,
humanity’s inability to comprehend statistics, or some combination thereof,
society has clearly shifted drastically from a relatively laissez-faire
approach to common hazards to – not just a risk aversion or risk reduction
model – the codified elimination of risk.
There
was once a feeling that hard cases make bad law; it now appears that the
concept that any case must make immediate law holds sway.
The
process started with some actually pretty necessary common sense notions –
drunk driving is not actually cool, dumping toxic waste in salmon brooks might
not be a good thing, smoking really can kill you so quit, don’t eat lead paint,
etc. But these were the easy bits and the organizations and forces behind their
implementation soon came to realize that if people started to be more sensible
in general, society’s need for their input, expertise, and services – their
guiding hand – would by definition decrease.
