In the famous lines of Tacitus, Roman historian, “To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under false titles, they call empire; and where they make a desert, they call it peace.â€

In our age, it is Israel and the U.S. that make a desert and call it peace.

The story is simple. In stark violation of international law, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his ministers claim the right to rule over seven million Palestinian Arabs. When Israel’s occupation of Palestinian lands leads to militant resistance, Israel labels the resistance “terrorism†and calls on the U.S. to overthrow the Middle East governments that back the “terrorists.†The U.S., under the sway of the Israel Lobby, goes to war on Israel’s behalf.

The fall of Syria this week is the culmination of the Israel-U.S. campaign against Syria that goes back to 1996 with Netanyahu’s arrival to office as Prime Minister. The Israel-U.S. war on Syria escalated in 2011 and 2012, when Barack Obama covertly tasked the CIA with the overthrow of the Syrian Government in Operation Timber Sycamore. That effort finally came to “fruition†this week, after more than 300,000 deaths in the Syrian war since 2011.

Syria’s fall came swiftly because of more than a decade of crushing economic sanctions, the burdens of war, the U.S. seizure of Syria’s oil, Russia’s priorities regarding the conflict in Ukraine, and most immediately, Israel’s attacks on Hezbollah, which was the key military backstop to the Syrian Government. No doubt Assad often misplayed his own hand and faced severe internal discontent, but his regime was targeted for collapse for decades by the U.S. and Israel.

Before the U.S.-Israel campaign to overthrow Assad began in earnest in 2011, Syria was a functioning, growing middle-income country. In January 2009, the IMF Executive Board had this to say:

Executive Directors welcomed Syria’s strong macroeconomic performance in recent years, as manifested in the rapid non-oil GDP growth, comfortable level of foreign reserves, and low and declining government debt. This performance reflected both robust regional demand and the authorities’ reform efforts to shift toward a more market- based economy.

Since 2011, the Israel-U.S. perpetual war on Syria, including bombing, jihadists, economic sanctions, U.S. seizure of Syria’s oil fields, and more, has sunk the Syrian people into misery.

In the immediate two days following the collapse of the government, Israel conducted about 480 strikes across Syria, and completely destroyed the Syrian fleet in Latakia. Pursuing his expansionist agenda, Prime Minister Netanyahu illegally claimed control over the demilitarized buffer zone in the Golan Heights and declared that the Golan Heights will be a part of the State of Israel “for eternity.â€

Netanyahu’s ambition to transform the region through war, which dates back almost three decades, is playing out in front of our eyes. In a press conference on December 9th, the Israeli prime minister boasted of an “absolute victory,†justifying the on-going genocide in Gaza and escalating violence throughout the region:

I ask you, just think, if we had acceded to those who told us time and again: ‘â€The war must be stoppedâ€â€“ we would not have entered Rafah, we would not have seized the Philadelphia Corridor, we would not have eliminated Sinwar, we would not have surprised our enemies in Lebanon and the entire world in a daring operation-stratagem, we would not have eliminated Nasrallah, we would not have destroyed Hezbollah’s underground network, and we would not have exposed Iran’s weakness. The operations that we have carried out since the beginning of the war are dismantling the axis brick by brick.

The long history of Israel’s campaign to overthrow the Syrian Government is not widely understood, yet the documentary record is clear. Israel’s war on Syria began with U.S. and Israeli neoconservatives in 1996, who fashioned a “Clean Break†strategy for the Middle East for Netanyahu as he came to office. The core of the “clean break†strategy called for the Israel (and the US) to reject “land for peace,†the idea that Israel would withdraw from the occupied Palestinian lands in return for peace. Instead, Israel would retain the occupied Palestinian lands, rule over the Palestinian people in an Apartheid state, step-by-step ethnically cleanse the state, and enforce so-called “peace for peace†by overthrowing neighboring governments that resisted Israel’s land claims.

The Clean Break strategy asserts, “Our claim to the land—to which we have clung for hope for 2000 years—is legitimate and noble,†and goes on to state, “Syria challenges Israel on Lebanese soil. An effective approach, and one with which American can sympathize, would be if Israel seized the strategic initiative along its northern borders by engaging Hizballah, Syria, and Iran, as the principal agents of aggression in Lebanon…â€

In his 1996 book Fighting Terrorism, Netanyahu set out the new strategy. Israel would not fight the terrorists; it would fight the states that support the terrorists. More accurately, it would get the US to do Israel’s fighting for it. As he elaborated in 2001:

The first and most crucial thing to understand is this: There is no international terrorism without the support of sovereign states.… Take away all this state support, and the entire scaffolding of international terrorism will collapse into dust.

Netanyahu’s strategy was integrated into U.S. foreign policy. Taking out Syria was always a key part of the plan. This was confirmed to General Wesley Clark after 9/11. He was told, during a visit at the Pentagon, that “we’re going to attack and destroy the governments in seven countries in five years—we’re going to start with Iraq, and then we’re going to move to Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Iran.†Iraq would be first, then Syria, and the rest. (Netanyahu’s campaign for the Iraq War is spelled out in detail in Dennis Fritz’s new book, Deadly Betrayal. The role of the Israel Lobby is spelled out in Ilan Pappé’s new book, Lobbying for Zionism on Both Sides of the Atlantic). The insurgency that hit U.S. troops in Iraq set back the five-year timeline, but did not change the basic strategy.

The U.S. has by now led or sponsored wars against Iraq (invasion in 2003), Lebanon (U.S. funding and arming Israel), Libya (NATO bombing in 2011), Syria (CIA operation during 2010’s), Sudan (supporting rebels to break Sudan apart in 2011), and Somalia (backing Ethiopia’s invasion in 2006). A prospective U.S. war with Iran, ardently sought by Israel, is still pending.

Strange as it might seem, the CIA has repeatedly backed Islamist Jihadists to fight these wars, and jihadists have just toppled the Syrian regime. The CIA, after all, helped to create al-Qaeda in the first place by training, arming, and financing the Mujahideen in Afghanistan from the late 1970s onward. Yes, Osama bin Laden later turned on the U.S., but his movement was a U.S. creation all the same. Ironically, as Seymour Hersh confirms, it was Assad’s intelligence that “tipped off the U.S. to an impending Al Qaeda bombing attack on the headquarters of the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet.â€

Operation Timber Sycamore was a billion-dollar CIA covert program launched by Obama to overthrow Bashar al-Assad. The CIA funded, trained, and provided intelligence to radical and extreme Islamist groups. The CIA effort also involved a “rat line†to run weapons from Libya (attacked by NATO in 2011) to the jihadists in Syria. In 2014, Seymour Hersh described the operation in his piece “The Red Line and the Rat Lineâ€:

“A highly classified annex to the report, not made public, described a secret agreement reached in early 2012 between the Obama and ErdoÄŸan administrations. It pertained to the rat line. By the terms of the agreement, funding came from Turkey, as well as Saudi Arabia and Qatar; the CIA, with the support of MI6, was responsible for getting arms from Gaddafi’s arsenals into Syria.â€

Soon after the launch of Timber Sycamore, in March 2013, at a joint conference by President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu at the White House, Obama said: “With respect to Syria, the United States continues to work with allies and friends and the Syrian opposition to hasten the end of Assad’s rule.â€

To the U.S.-Israeli Zionist mentality, a call for negotiation by an adversary is taken as a sign of weakness of the adversary. Those who call for negotiations on the other side typically end up dead—murdered by Israel or U.S. assets. We’ve seen this play out recently in Lebanon. The Lebanese Foreign Minister confirmed that Hassan Nasrallah, Former Secretary-General of Hezbollah had agreed to a ceasefire with Israel days before his assassination. Hezbollah’s willingness to accept a peace agreement according to the Arab-Islamic world’s wishes of a two-state solution is long-standing. Similarly, instead of negotiating to end the war in Gaza, Israel assassinated Hamas’ political chief, Ismail Haniyeh, in Tehran.

Similarly in Syria, instead of allowing for a political solution to emerge, the U.S. opposed the peace process multiple times. In 2012, the UN had negotiated a peace agreement in Syria that was blocked by the Americans, who demanded that Assad must go on the first day of the peace agreement. The U.S. wanted regime change, not peace. In September 2024, Netanyahu addressed the General Assembly with a map of the Middle East divided between “Blessing†and “Curse,†with Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Iran as part of Netanyahu’s curse. The real curse is Israel’s path of mayhem and war, which has now engulfed Lebanon and Syria, with Netayahu’s fervent hope to draw the U.S. into war with Iran as well.

The U.S. and Israel are high-fiving that they have successfully wrecked yet another adversary of Israel and defender of the Palestinian cause, with Netanyahu claiming “credit for starting the historic process.†Most likely Syria will now succumb to continued war among the many armed protagonists, as has happened in the previous U.S.-Israeli regime-change operations.

In short, American interference, at the behest of Netanyahu’s Israel, has left the Middle East in ruins, with over a million dead and open wars raging in Libya, Sudan, Somalia, Lebanon, Syria, and Palestine, and with Iran on the brink of a nuclear arsenal, being pushed against its own inclinations to this eventuality.

All this is in the service of a profoundly unjust cause: to deny Palestinians their political rights in the service of Zionist extremism based on the 7th century BCE Book of Joshua. Remarkably, according to that text—one relied on by Israel’s own religious zealots—the Israelites were not even the original inhabitants of the land. Rather, according the text, God instructs Joshua and his warriors to commit multiple genocides to conquer the land.

Against this backdrop, the Arab-Islamic nations and indeed almost all of the world have repeatedly united in the call for a two-state solution and peace between Israel and Palestine.

Instead of the two-state solution, Israel and the U.S. have made a desert and called it peace.

    It may be that “almost all of the world” wants the slaughters perpetrated by Jews to end. Certainly if American White “Evangelicals” are asked (with no reference to anything else) if they approve of mass murder they will say they do not. Nevertheless if “the world” and Whites must contradict the Jews to stop the killing – or to stop the degradation of their own countries – then whatever debate existed is over. People all over the world fear (with good reason) what the US will do next. Whites in the US are afraid that if a Jew does not get his way, the Jewish tribal deity called Yahweh will vaporize or drown or perhaps strike with lightning bolts the offending Gentiles. Credulity and superstition reign, and Jewish crimes continue unabated.

    this whole talk of disassembling the axis brick by brick, is a load of hasbara bullshit. hezbollah isn’t dead and iran isn’t afraid of the big bad bibi. just remember what iran did in iraq, in arming and equipping the resistance forces, as well as establishing networks within the shia element in iraq. they still have plenty of connections there and iraq and syria share a huge border that the u.s. for all their trillions couldn’t close.

    remember all the glorious posturing and self congratulatory praise for their mission accomplished. they destroyed iraq’s army and scattered their forces, thinking they had just rolled over untermensch iraqis, showing them our superiority, making them cower in fear. well that hubris and stupidity came back to haunt them and sparked an insurgency they could never put down. eventually obama had to “declare victory” and sneak out in the middle of the night. learning nothing from this, obama’s bff tried to do the same in afghanistan, which then collapsed so fast, they got their ass blown off trying to get out of the door.

    now bibi is declaring victory once again, learning nothing from history, which seems to be a common trait of his people. does anyone believe for a moment that iran won’t do exactly the same thing again and that hezbollah won’t rise under new leadership like a phoenix? iran no longer has troops in harms way, that can be targeted by israel with impunity and the same can be said for russia. now it’s israel and the u.s. with troops illegally occupying syria, with their bases and equipment making big fat targets, for drone equipped insurgency forces to have a field day.

    this was exactly what these bastards wanted to do to iran and russia, who fully understand the game changing use of drones and who produce them in greater numbers that any other countries in the world. this isn’t over and in fact it hasn’t yet even begun. now the russians can fully concentrate on cleaning out the rats nest in ukraine and iran can operate from the shadows knowing they can counter anything the israelis throw at them and respond in a way to which israel has no real defense, through their vastly superior hypersonic missiles that they have been amassing for years.

    the u.s. and west cannot produce weapons at the rate the israelis (and ukrainians) are using them. they are like some foolish girl with a platinum card that will soon be maxed out and the bill come due with 35% interest. bibi will soon be brought down brics by brics, and the axis of evil sugerdaddy, will be bankrupted by his jewish princess and her insatiable appetite for blood.

    The people of Syria are likely to be already lamenting the fall of Bashar “Gassed-his-own-people” Assad. They replaced a semi-unified state with thieves and murderers, in the hopes of a better material existence through the removal of American economic sanctions. Now, they shall get constant fighting between armed factions, as the Zionists gobble up parts of the south.

    Iran is weakened and isolated, since America has toppled three of its neighbors–Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria. The Zionists appear to be marching unimpeded across the world stage, as Netanyahu gloats in this article.

    If Iran falls, it is Russia that will then be weakened and isolated. Both Iran and Russia seem hesitant to act and defend themselves, in their attempts to avoid a nuclear world war at all costs. They are better people than the Judeo-Americans, who have a bloodlust for power and destruction that is unfathomable to most people.

    Neither Iran nor Russia want to see their country like Germany in 1945, should the West win the war. They’ve shown patience and restraint out of a desire for peace and for preserving human life. Yet, if the history books are written by their enemies, Russia and Iran will be depicted as states on a mad rampage and the incarnate of evil, which had to be stopped. A complete inversion of the truth.

    But war is coming, whether or not Russia and Iran want it. The Judeo-Americans are on the march and it is only a matter of time. How long can China stay on the sideline? Do the Chinese not realize that they are next, after the fall of Russia and Iran?

    Every independent country is going to get the Syria treatment, unless this malevolent force is stopped. No normal person seeks war, but perhaps Syria will be the line in the sand for those who would oppose Judeo-American tyranny.

  15. How the US and Israel Destroyed Syria and Called It Peace

    As usual, Sachs lacks discernment because he wears Jew coloured glasses.

    The US is a vassal state of Judea. Israel is the head of the Judean serpent. To claim that the “US and Israel” destroyed Syria is like claiming that England and Ireland defeated Napoleon. The Irish never had a choice in the matter, and neither does the US.

    As Congressman Thomas Massie explained, every Republican congressman has a Jewish handler (and every Democrat one too). When the Jewish war monger, and agent of the spirit of the dead Rebbe, Bibi Netanyahu came to Congress he got over 50 unanimous standing ovations, and Mike Johnson, the leader of the house, had made it clear that there would be no dissent would be allowed.

    Sachs is constantly squealing and deflecting from Jewish guilt for all the horrendous and despicable acts that they are committing across the planet and projecting it solely onto “the Zionists”. He wants to pretend that since there are a few self-proclaimed “good” Jews, of which he considers himself one, that it is not Jews who control the US, but just Zionists who have excess influence.

    This is a bald faced lie. If “good” Jews had any agency over Judea, then there would Jewish organizations actively working against the genocide of millions of Arabs and the theft of their land. If “good” Jews had any agency over Judea, then there would be a civil war going on in Judea.

    As Hitler said, Jews stick together like a clump of burrs, and no Jews are tearing themselves out of the clump to physically do anything about the destruction and take over of the middle east. All we hear is a few isolated Jews like Sachs and some groups of god’s chosen Hasidic Jews squealing and kvetching but doing nothing.

    Wake me up when Sachs finally comes out of the Holocaust closet and clearly states that it is an impossible lie that Germany gassed and cremated 6 million Jews.

    What does ‘the Arab-Islamic world’s wishes of a two-state solution’ mean, exactly? — as understood by most people, ‘two-state solution’ means the existence of Israel, within some borders — since accepting the existence of Israel in any form is contrary to the popular understanding of the politics of Hezbollah, it would’ve been nice if Sachs had provided confirmation of this surprising and important claim other than a Substack article by Seymour Hersh, one that requires you to register if you want to read it.

    Most of the trouble stems from religion – or at least what many people think of as “religion”.

    That distinguished and perceptive American Gore Vidal had the courage to put his finger right on the sore spot. Note that he was not anti-Judaism, anti-Christian, or anti-Islam. He believed that, springing from a common source, they all had the same harmful characteristics and consequences.

    “The great unmentionable evil at the center of our culture is monotheism. From a barbaric Bronze Age text known as the Old Testament, three anti-human religions have evolved — Judaism, Christianity, Islam. These are sky-god religions. They are, literally, patriarchal — God is the Omnipotent Father — hence the loathing of women for 2,000 years in those countries afflicted by the sky-god and his earthly male delegates. The sky-god is a jealous god, of course. He requires total obedience from everyone on earth, as he is in place not for just one tribe but for all creation. Those who would reject him must be converted or killed for their own good. Ultimately, totalitarianism is the only sort of politics that can truly serve the sky-god’s purpose”.

    Er, Jew ambition. You know, the toxic Christ-killers abetted by “Good Jews” who let Tribal Terrorism happen. The same Good Jews who blame “Good Germans” for letting the alleged Hollowcost happen.

    And enough of this “not all Jews” nonsense. Do Jews ever finely parse who’s a guilty WWII German and who innocent?

    Israel’s entire history justifies antisemitism. It explains why any and all horrors “mysteriously” befell kikenheimers throughout history. Yet the Nose acts “shocked, shocked” that goyim in the past punished Matzonians for the very things Jews today do openly and often to The Other.

    Jews mock international laws passed after the one-sided, biased, hoax-filled Nuremberg show trials. Is it any wonder dreidel-devils are instinctively hated?

    Jews “heal the world”as as much as Jack-the-Ripper honored women.

    There will be no peace in the world so long as Israel exists. It is evil incarnate. And abetted in being so by stool-eating hebephiles in Congress, Bibian rump-swabs in Europe, and Evangelical whores in Hageestan.

    In the USA and the ‘west’ in general, the White Christians and Deists and Atheists and Science minded have proven themselves weak, non-virile, fat and frankly a bit stupid. They no longer deserve to rule.

    Instead, inevitably, the Tribe with the strongest IDENTITY will come to the fore, and will, according to the theory of NICHE FULFILLMENT, will occupy ALL NICHES of political ideology and point of view.

    Mr. Sach’s omission of anomalous facts, such as the fact that Russia KNEW the situation in Syria and NEVER allowed Syria to fight Israel, NEVER gave them the necessary weapons, ALWAYS protected Israel and quite possibly SABOTAGED the defense of Aleppo and the retreats of the Syrian Arab Army and quite possibly KIDNAPPED Assad is holding him, even now, incognito, Mr. Sach’s omission of such facts is a polite veil over competing explanatory theories which will not be allowed in the mainstream or the ‘alternative’ stream. Similarly, Sach’s ommission of Chinese stinginess, who could have paid Syrian Arab Army soldiers a living wage, and thus have fielded their own mercenary force in opposition to the ‘west’s’ mercenary force, indicates an non allowable area of discussion.

    And of course the central omission: who REALLY governs the USA.

    So what we have, in the guise of an ‘alternative anti imperial anti-zionist analysis’, is in fact supportive of the main goal, which is a world where all niches are filled by the minority tribal members whose power derives from the fact of a minority with its own tribal god living in a universalist society with a universalist god.

    The Russians have been afraid of Americans.

    Bwahahahaha! Dream on, Hasbara Harry!

    Every time the terrorist faced defeat the Americans intervened

    B-b-because the “terrorist” is Israel.

    The failure of Russia to…defend…Syria

    FACT: Both Russia and Iran warned Syria of looming threats and offered help. Assad refused their aid/advice, thinking he could befriend weak Arab nations led by dictators.

    The Russians show their incompetence in Ukraine

    Russia has made Ukraine a wasteland with insufficient young men alive now to reproduce and maintain/grow the population. Russia will soon own all of Ukestan, the former home of the Pale-of-Settlement that wisely corral’d parasitic Jews.

    Americans act decisively

    And wrongly. Like hysterical women.

    Russians…do not have clear strategy

    So that’s why they win! Good to know.

    China has already cut its purchase of Iranian crude oil by 1/3. They have already made a deal with Trump to throw Iran under the bus and sanction Iranian oil. Because Iranians threaten shipping supplies and Jewish controlled Arab countries where China has heavily invested like UAE and Saudi.

    China is a giant on its own, has no cultural or propaganda Chinaware to sell to non Chinese, so they have no chance to create an empire rivaling our Jewish American empire.

    Why? You words is BS. The reason behind this poster to show the photo of a Mossad agent, Roya Hakakian, along with other Mossad assets, Irwin cotler and Payam Akhavan, all working for the same propaganda lies. Roya Hakakian is a zionist Jew who supports the genocide in Gaza, 100%, and attack the ‘femenists’ that they have not supported Israel’s action against Hamas.
    Everyone knows who Irwin Cotler is. A zionist mass murder pro genocide in Gaza and a propagandist from Israel Lobby. Payam Akhavan, a Jew who became Bahai, spreading propaganda lies against Iran, but works closely with the intelligence services of Canada, CIA, MI6/mossad, who was involved in the campaign against Sudan to Partition Sudan for US/Mossad.
    Akhavan, is a liar who poses as ‘human rights’ activists, yet he refuses to say a word about Israel apartheid or GENOCIDE in Gaza, working closely with the West intelligence service, supported Irwin Cotler propaganda lies to advance the interest of Israel. All in the poster supported the terrorist MEK and worked with this Org. to advande Israel’s interest for regime change in Iran. Why hasn’t he come forward to expose his superiors US/Israel’s crimes against humanity, but all go around the world spinning on lies of Mossad/CIA/MI6 about Iran? Show me anything that all people in the POSTER have condemned the GENOCIDE in Gaza. If someone poses as ‘human rights activists’, but has supported the genocide, then these people are criminals. Payam Akhavan, Irwin Cotler and Roya Hakakian are all criminals. Not only they have not condemned, even with empty words, the genocide but have supported the genocide in public either openly or stayed silent. Akhavan has even supported, in a video, the crimes of Canada in Afghanistan, where had soldiers in Afghanistan. Mind your own business and don’t comment about something that you know shit about!!
    All these agents have called for more sanctions against Iran, not against Israel at least for her genocide, in addition to demanding military action against Iran, Iraq style. If these agents were against genocide, apartheid and oppression of the Palestinian, then they should have gone against US/Israel crimes against humanity, they didn’t, but they work closely with the state department and Congress begging for more sanctions, military attacks on Iran, like the genocidal Netanyahu. These traitors are foot soldiers for CIA/Mossad/MI6.

    Following the fall of Bashar Assad, many Russian apologists in support of Moscow’s decision of not intervening in Syria very conveniently put all the blames on poor ousted Assad. But that’s simply baloney. The collapse of the Syrian government was a well coordinated ploy between Israel (US) and Russia. It was only a matter of timing. The followings demonstrate how Moscow treated its supposed ally ever since entered Syria in first place:

    – Russia officially calls the Oct. 07, 25 Palestinian incursion on their own territory which according to UN resolutions is an occupied Palestinian land, a terrorist attack.

    – For more than 11 years and long before Ukraine conflict, Russia in secret agreements with Israel failed to supply its ally with needed military, essential hardware or economic assistance so Bashar Assad could have had better control over Syria then began dialogue with his opponents.

    – During all those years and up to now Russia closed its eyes on Israeli bombings inside Syria and even prevented Syrian defense forces from responding.

    – Russia still gets to keep the Heimim base which clearly proves it had backstage agreement with Israel (US) and Turkey prior to regime change since the jihadists from the north could have only initiated their move on Damascus after receiving a green light from Tel Aviv- Washington-Ankara not the other way around.

    – Despite NATO plan of pushing Turkey play a new role of revitalizing its Turanian Empire that stretched from Turkey to China, Russia at one point supported the creation of the proposed Zangezur corridor from Azerbaijan to Turkey, ignoring the dangers posed by such a proposal especially ignoring Turkey as the second largest NATO member. It show that Russia is either a globalist wannabe or simply suffering from massive incompetence.

    – In spite of getting tricked time after time by the west, example, after the fall of the Soviet Union and America’s promise of not moving an inch towards Russian border or the Minsk agreement … etc. Russia kept Syria at a major disadvantage by signing yet another agreement with Turkey called Astana agreement until Ankara managed to break it by ordering its proxies to move on Damascus.

    – Despite blabbering about Russian-Iranian strategic relationship, Russia somehow supports UAE ( officially recognized a UN member state 53 years ago on 9 Dec, 1971) claims on several island in the Persian Gulf that have been integral part of Iran since beginning of history of the states of the world over 3000 years ago. Iran and Armenia are the first official countries in history.

    There are many more instances of Russia being either a wannabe globalist or just an incompetent, gullible actor. They could have supported the Assad government with direct/coordinated effort alongside Iran which was fully ready to intervene yet stopped by Moscow. The world after watching such sheer incompetence on the part of Russia and to some extend China will from now on ignore BRICS, Chinese BRI,… as sheer mockery.

    That’s probably the reason Russia and China are hesitant to go all out for Iran.

The Iranians under these circumstances would be united against the Anglo-Judaic Empire and wouldn’t turn their weapons on Russia and China since with such outside pressure they’re not going to break up but rally around the flag.

    Almost as remarkable as the rapid disintegration of the Assad regime is the massive bombardment and simultaneous invasion of Syria by Israel — especially since we’re being told the ‘rebels’ were supported by Israel, and therefore do not appear to be an immediate threat to the Jews — so there’s no reasonable self-defense explanation for the bombardment and invasion.

    But it looks like this is largely accepted by the ‘international community’ — it seems to me it would not be unreasonable to call an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council (not that it would do much good since the US has veto power) over this blatant aggression of one sovereign state against another — but I’ve not seen any talk of that.

That, having morphed from initially being used principally to suppress and extract the prosperity potential from the rest of the world, the global US dollar based financial system has now evolved into the greatest global terrorism funding system know to man.

    Even more ironic is the fact that in continuing to support the dollar system, in hope that some tangible, if undeserving rewards will continue to be forth coming, even the developed Western nations of this world are acting to support and sustain a corrupt Empire that is committed to destroying what prosperity and moral dignity the citizens of their states may yet still retain.

    Take away the false prosperity (ZIRP, QE, unbounded leverage etc.) and criminal potential (Ukraine) that this so-called “reserve currency” status bestows and be amazed at how epic the ensuing collapse of Empire will be. Sure, the initial collateral damage will be intense, however, restoring the future potential of all of the people of this world is a prize worthy of the risk.

    good question. Iran like most developing countries today suffers from severe case of kleptocracy – constantly encouraged by western neoliberalism – yet still follow those goals because of cultural, geopolitical, historical and national reasons at political level. On SMO, it was obvious from the beginning that the Anglo-Zionist empire wanted to maintain its dominance by finally bringing down the last remaining antagonist powers Russia, China and Iran which still is the case today. Russia maybe a chabad talmudic wannabe in political sphere but in historical, national sphere it’s intensely pro its own national sovereignty just like Iran, both running contrary to globalist mantra. So when Iran assists Russia on SMO it’s thinking about the latter case but then finds out Russia behaving talmudic way. Similarly Russia has difficulty with Iran’s kleptocracy which makes it difficult to talk with the Iranians. Iranians are merchants from the land of carpet weavers while Russians follow their own discipline. Russians like to drink vodka sometimes but that’s illegal in Iran. They also like to wear what they think is appropriate when in Iran there are some rules about it. So there’s basically a cultural gap among Russia, Iran, China that may be improved in the future.

    Statement issued today, 16 Dec 2024, in Moscow by Bashar al-Assad.
    Eng trans from Arabic original.

    —â—ï¸ðŸ‡¸ðŸ‡¾ BREAKING: Former President Bashar al-Assad has released his first statement

    ‘As terrorism spread across Syria and ultimately reached Damascus on the evening of Saturday, 7th of December 2024, questions arose about the president’s fate and whereabouts.

    This occurred amidst a flood of misinformation and narratives far removed from the truth, aimed at recasting international terrorism as a liberation revolution for Syria.

    At such a critical juncture in the nation’s history, where truth must take precedence, it is essential to address these distortions. Unfortunately, the prevailing circumstances at the time, including a total communication blackout for security reasons, delayed the release of this statement. This does not replace a detailed account of the events that unfolded, which will be provided when the opportunity allows.

    First, my departure from Syria was neither planned nor did it occur during the final hours of the battles, as some have claimed. On the contrary, I remained in Damascus, carrying out my duties until the early hours of Sunday 8th of December 2024. As terrorist forces infiltrated Damascus, I moved to Lattakia in coordination with our Russian allies to oversee combat operations.

    Upon arrival at the Hmeimim airbase that morning, it became clear that our forces had completely withdrawn from all battle lines and that the last army positions had fallen. As the field situation in the area continued to deteriorate, the Russian military base itself came under intensified attack by drone strikes. With no viable means of leaving the base, Moscow requested that the base’s command arrange an immediate evacuation to Russia on the evening of Sunday 8th of December.

    This took place a day after the fall of Damascus, following the collapse of the last military positions and the resulting paralysis of all remaining state institutions. At no point during these events did I consider stepping down or seeking refuge, nor was such a proposal made by any individual or party. The only course of action was to continue fighting against the terrorist onslaught.

    I reaffirm that the person who, from the very first day of the war, refused to barter the salvation of his nation for personal gain, or to compromise his people in exchange for numerous offers and enticements is the same person who stood alongside the officers and soldiers of the army on the front lines, just meters from terrorists in the most dangerous and intense battlefields. He is the same person who, during the darkest years of the war, did not leave but remained with his family alongside his people, confronting terrorism under bombardment and the recurring threats of terrorist incursions into the capital over fourteen years of war.

    Furthermore, the person who has never abandoned the resistance in Palestine and Lebanon, nor betrayed his allies who stood by him, cannot possibly be the same person who would forsake his own people or betray the army and nation to which he belongs.

    I have never sought positions for personal gain but have always considered myself as a custodian of a national project, supported by the faith of the Syrian people, who believed in its vision. I have carried an unwavering conviction in their will and ability to protect the state, defend its institutions, and uphold their choices to the very last moment.

    When the state falls into the hands of terrorism and the ability to make a meaningful contribution is lost, any position becomes void of purpose, rendering its occupation meaningless.

    This does not, in any way, diminish my profound sense of belonging to Syria and her people – a bond that remains unshaken by any position or circumstance. It is a belonging filled with hope that Syria will once again be free and independent.’

    Personally I’m looking forward to those more detailed accounts forthcoming, which will not be found in the “journalism” of the west.
    And of course to the destruction of the Beast.

    ‘Instead of the two-state solution, Israel and the U.S. have made a desert and called it peace.’ — Dr Jeffrey Sachs

    Well, there he goes again. Now, upon encountering Jeffrey Sachs’ byline, I just type Cntl-F and search ‘two-state’. It took me straight to the poisonous, diversionary bullshit at the conclusion, without having to plow through the intervening 1,900 words of text.

    What are we to make of Jeffrey Sachs, still shucking and jiving for a ‘two-state solution’ that was never on the table in the first place, and now is geographically impossible?

    He’s obviously not lacking in intelligence or information. But for some reason, he’s playing stupid mind games, just messing with his readers.

    Israel is now building remote-controlled gun towers in the occupied West Bank, so that genocidal zionazis can just assassinate Palestinians at will. And Jefftrey Sachs prattles on about a pie-in-the-sky ‘two-state solution’? What is actually wrong with him?

    I am not sure how long the theocracy will survive. Of course if the people depose it they will hope for something better but could get something worse with Kurds and Baluchis breaking off.

    Also I am not sure if Israel is an enemy of Russia and China. It seems to me that the American and European Jews are anti-Russia and anti-China. Of course Israel doesn’t want Russia and China supporting its enemies, but that’s as far as it goes.

    Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s what I feel. Of course I would like to see Russia and China supporting Israel’s enemies but then how reliable are those Arabs and Muslims?

    Sachs also has an unsavoury reputation from the time the USSR imploded. It’s said that he helped the Harvard Boys fleece Russia. I have not really gone into it and don’t know how much of it is the truth.

It is the trend that overrides all other considerations. Inexperienced technicians, engineers, etc., are sometimes lulled into a complacent mode by a glance a the data, where “everything is in range”.

    Really? What about the 5 deg C temperature rise on #4 cylinder of # 2 generator over the week? Too small to be significant? Wait and see, as that gas leak starts to cut a channel right through the valve seat until it is critical and you have no generator and down time to repair. What about intermittent vibrations? Oh, no worries. It goes away by itself.

    =============================
    Kremlin Admits The Fate Of Its Syrian Bases Is Undecided

    On Monday the Kremlin disclosed that the fate of its military bases in Syria remains unclear and undecided, following the collapse of the Syrian government and Assad having fled the country on December 8.

    “There are no final decisions on this,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a press briefing. “We are in contact with representatives of the forces that now control the situation in the country.â€

    Likely Moscow is pressing representatives of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which holds Damascus, to at least temporarily give assent to the continued Russian military presence on the coast.

    The Tartus Naval Base remains Russia’s only Mediterranean military port. And alongside Khmeimim Air Base, these are the only two major Russian military outposts outside the former Soviet Union.

    They are strategic and crucial for Russia’s operations in the Middle East and North Africa, and a full closure of these bases would be a logistical blow in the region for Moscow. It would also signal Russia’s waning influence in the Middle East, also at a moment the Pentagon continues occupying Syria’s northeast.

    Moscow has been busy evacuating both diplomatic staff and some military assets from Syria, as Maxar satellite photos show.

    Since the HTS takeover of Damascus there have been no reported incidents of Russian troops or the bases coming under fire; however, Moscow forces are on high alert.

    The last several days have seen huge Russian armored and troop convoys withdrawing from the capital area and some other parts of Syria, headed to the safety of Hmeimim airbase in Latakia province. Assets like anti-air defense missiles are being flown out, and will likely be repositioned related to the war in Ukraine.

    How the US and Israel Destroyed Syria we should also add Russia in this list, because Russia played a pividal role in the fall of Assad and destruction of Syria to let ‘greater Israel’ have a chance since Russia was one of the columns of ‘Israel Project’ and erection of Israel in the occupied land of Palestine. Putin’s close relations with UAM, Saudi Arabia, and Israel, all reveal Russian’s treason in this genocide. No one should trust Russia. Both UAE and Saudi Arabia hate Palestinians and want to get rid of them to do BUSINESS with the genocidal Jews, so terrorist Erdogan, where Putin cooperated with him in Syria and in the central asia, in the fight between Baku and Armenia to let Erdogan wins over Christian Armenia to buy Pan Turk’s side for him. Putin is a COWARD. Putin has no shame openly to say to the world that Russia is willing to work with the West against IRAN for concessions, but this coward does not want to believe that the West does not need his pettiness, they can destroy Russia without his ‘favor’, they have done it before and are willing to do it again. He is so coward thinking to suck up to the Jews is going to help him in the fight against evil. For this reason, Putin was working closely with Netanyahu against Iran and the Axis in Syria limiting their activities againt Israel, to weaken Assad to bring Syria down. Putin listened to Netanyahu to deny Iranians a foothold in order to protect Syria, also Putin along with Netanyahu supporting to disarm Hizbollah. Putin did not allow Assad to stage a retaliatory attack on Israel. When a country does not answer the enemy’s repeated attacks, then they become more aggressive and stage more attacks. Israel did it, all with the cooperation of Putin.
    Assad is NOT a traitor and had no one to turn to except the Iranians, but he thought Russia will do something in the time of needs, but Russia didn’t and won’t do a damn thing for Iran either. Iranians mus rely on the axis and themselves and no one else. Death to the West, Death to Jewish Mafia Tribe.

    Israel healing the world

    Days ago Israel began warning that it will use large bunker buster munitions to begin destroying the former Syrian Army’s underground missile and weapons storehouses.

    This has begun in the overnight hours, with Israeli warplanes pummeling air defense systems and ammunition depots in Damascus and the coastal city of Tartous, near where a Russian naval base is located. The strike on Tartous resulted in the single biggest explosion seen in Syria in years, unleashing a fireball and mushroom cloud so large it led to quick speculation it could have been a tactical nuke (which widespread reports are denying).

    “A 3.1 magnitude tremor was reported by the Geographic Survey of Israel’s seismology department at 11.49pm on Sunday night in the region of the bombings.”

    In total there have been an estimated 600 Israeli strikes over the course of eight days. Some of them began immediately upon Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) entering the environs of Damascus as President Assad fled the country.

    An Israeli broadcast correspondent from Kann previously wrote that “An Israeli source tells me: Israel’s goal is to destroy everything from Assad’s army that could fall into the hands of the rebels – from tanks to missiles. We are destroying the equipment of the Assad army.”

    The oil-producing nations in the region who are sympathetic to the Palestinians, but were too self-interested to cut output in order to indirectly help them, ought to at least use the UN to bring attention to what’s being done to Syria.

    “Netanyahu’s strategy was integrated into U.S. foreign policy.”

    — Parasitism at its finest.

    The nomadic jewish tribe of liars, thieves, sadists, and genociders still continues using the extractive shoah-business schema. All major jewish organizations (including the throughly amoral Holo–museums) support the fascist jewish state and its genocidal policies targeting children and women (amaleks).

    The collective west was doomed when jews spread the network of banking/usury cartel and various “jewish centers” of indoctrination in dishonorable behavior (“Kol Nidre”) and hatred towards non-jews. The phrase Kol Nidre is a legal formula used every year during Yom Kippur for the annulment of all jewish promises and vows.

    Said at the start of the Yom Kippur fast day, Kol Nidre declares all future vows and promises invalid, by declaring that all vows are “absolved, remitted, cancelled, declared null and void, not in force of in effect.” Said by the cantor, surrounded by men holding Torah scrolls, it is sung to a traditional tune that has been passed down for generation.

    The judaic/talmudic educational centers and sects like chabad lubavich create monsters — the dishonest, lying, whining, and predatory sadists. Only a small fraction of highly intelligent Jewish individuals adhere to humanity and protect their dignity. The majority of jews obey the diktat of anti-humanity global jewry.

    The aipac-owned congress has been channeling American resources to achieve a talmudic goal of full-spectrum dominance: https://karlof1.substack.com/p/putins-annual-address-to-the-extended

    the current US administration and virtually the entire collective West do not give up trying to maintain their global dominance, continue to impose their so-called rules on the world community, which they repeatedly change, distorting as it is convenient for them. …

    In an effort to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, the United States continues to pump the virtually illegitimate ruling regime in Kiev with weapons and money, send mercenaries and military advisers, and thereby encourage further escalation of the conflict. …

    Meanwhile, NATO countries themselves are increasing military spending. Strike groups of the alliance’s troops are being formed and assembled near the Russian borders. So, the number of American military personnel in Europe has already exceeded 100 thousand people. [And who has authorized the US ongoing war against Russia? – the zionized banking cartel and fascist mega-corporations like judaized BlackRock, which own the US?]

    In addition to the so-called eastern flank, NATO is increasing its presence in the Asia-Pacific region, which undermine the security architecture that has been established for decades. Of equal concern is the United States’ efforts to create and prepare for the deployment of high-precision ground-based strike weapons with a firing range of up to 5,500 kilometers in advanced zones. At the same time, the transfer and deployment of these missile systems in Europe and in the Asia-Pacific region is already being worked out.

    Guess, the Enemies of Humanity have designated US as a sacrificial lamb for a hot phase of WWIII. — This time, the global war will reach directly the territory of the disunited & zionized USA. The only way to prevent the slaughter is to arrange Hazelnut visits to the bunkers and mansions of the main “deciders/haves.” The moral rot afflicting the top rulers of the collective west is irreversible and must be excised together with the top rulers.

    He is the rearguard of JP, covering the redeployment of the diaspora jews’ narrative to what are supposed to be morally defensible positions: acknowledging the genocide in full-throated indignation, blaming it mostly on Netanyahu and claiming that the murderous, illegal occupation and ethnic cleansing of the native population — a goal rooted in the Jewish supremacism belief hardwired not only in “zionist†Jews but in the entire “Yiddishkeit”– could have been cured by the “two-state solution.â€
    The fact that he acknowledges the genocide makes him a courageous hero in the eyes of many non-Jews especially because he is a Jew. Ironically, those who admire him more for his stance because he is a Jew exhibit a real but an unconscious anti-semitism, implying that a Jew capable of behaving morally is an anomaly to be celebrated. While the numbers support this conclusion, in reality the anomaly is not he but the overwhelming majority of Jews who are incapable of behaving morally when perceived tribal interests are involved.
    A Christian or a Muslim can reject his faith and rail against his own religion and its followers and separate himself from them without losing his personal identity, but a Jew, even a self-professed atheist, cannot renounce his tribal allegiance without which he has no identity (not to mention the “perksâ€) unless he is a very strong, independently thinking individual.

    The role Sachs played in the impoverishment and looting of Russia is more evil than any goyim could ever accomplish in a lifetime. I have never heard Sachs accept his complicity in this, let alone apologize for it.

    More recently, I have heard hours of Sachs kvetching about how “the US” is destroying Ukraine, but he never mentions Jewish complicity, let alone how this is just another facet of an age old Jewish conspiracy.

    Now we have Sachs kvetching about how the “Zionists” and “the US” are committing genocide on a daily basis in occupied Palestine, but instead of him explaining how all of Judea is accessory to this action, he tries to isolate Zionist Jews from the rest of the lying, stealing and murdering Jewish tribe.

    This is disingenuous and deceitful.

    It’s the Jews. And if Jews don’t like being party to this genocide, then at a minimum they need to be stand up and be counted as being opposed to the centuries of sin that they have committed and the centuries of lies that they have told.

    All of Germany was made culpable for the actions of the “Nazis” because they didn’t prevent a fake holocaust. All of Judea is now far more culpable for the actions of the “Zionists” because they haven’t prevented a real genocide.

    We need another Nuremberg, and Sachs needs to go onto the dock with all of the Zionists and be forced to justify all the half truths he did say, and all the truths he never said.

    I had never heard of Kol Nidrel; I looked it up and found this:

    “Kol Nidrei has had an eventful history, both in itself and in its influence on the legal status of the Jews…and in the nineteenth century (it was) expunged from the prayer-book by many communities of western Europe, “[Kol Nidrei] has often been employed by Christians to support their assertion that the oath of a Jew can not be trusted.

    When Jews make a yearly “declaration” before God that proactively annuls any personal oaths or vows over the coming year, of course these same Jews cannot be trusted. This reminds me of the Minsk I and Minsk II agreements Russia, in good faith, signed with the West, agreements that weren’t worth the paper they were printed on. Did all the Western Minsk I & II signers proactively make a Kol Nidrei declaration absolving them of honesty? Kol Nidrei definitely explains Benjamin Netanyahu, Kol Nidrei explains a lot.

    I particularly noted the disingenuousness of the Jew-serving last bit of the above Wikipedia information that states: Kol Nidrei’s existence as a part of Jewish culture “has often been employed by Christians to support their assertion that the oath of a Jew can not be trusted.”

    As if noticing reality and acting accordingly is shameful or (nowadays) worse: it’s anti Semitic. Jews can and do lie, their religion allows it. But don’t you take that into consideration and act accordingly.

    I have yet to grasp how a small cabal of evildoers can have such power to control a large portion of the world, and get away with what they do with no apparent power to counter them in any meaningful way?

    Well then, how do you suppose a relatively small number of British troops colonised India two hundred or so years ago?
    Answer: They had the military firepower to decimate multiples of any opposing forces.

    In other words, given sufficient firepower through modern weaponry, relatively few can control the many.
    And, what buys firepower?
    Answer: MONEY – and lots of it.

    We’ve often heard from ZOG owned media entities over the last decades, how Bill Gates was [allegedly] the richest man in the world. At other times it was Jeff Bezos and more recently Elon Musk – with Warren Buffet not that far behind.

    Well, let’s COMBINE the net worth of the four individuals above, and add the net worth of King Chuck III of Gross Britain for good measure.

    The aggregate net worth of these five men is a ROUNDING ERROR in comparison with the Zionist Usury Banking Cartel (aka ZOG).

    Got it now Mr G.I?

    The Talmudic misfit financiers located in the shadowy halls of that square mile in the City of London have MULTIPLES of U.S GDP in financial wherewithal, with the ability to print/digitally conjure scores of trillions more with a key stroke on their computers (which in fact they’ve done in the post 2008 GFC period), to dole out to themselves and their genitally mutilated cronies.

    This ‘conjuring’ of currency they do via possession of the ‘River of Riches’.
    ie: ownership/control of the U.S Federal Reserve and the other western central banks.

    Have you absorbed that G.I.J?

    Of course ZOG do not have a physical stash of WMD’s stashed away in the City of London (although their bastard child/aka Apartheid Israel has quite a few).
    This incalculable stash of wealth they possess enables ZOG to control the Armed Forced of the U.S and it’s NATO (and non-NATO) vassals.
    You see ZOG control the entirety of the western financial and political systems.

    Every western politician of note has been vetted for loyalty to them.
    Their money enables them to control the narrative via ownership of the western MSM, all the major book publishing houses, academia, the western health bureaucracies and scientific academies, control of the World Bank/IMF/BIS/SWIFT International Payments system.

    SUMMARY: The solution to inflicting a mortal blow on ZOG which will eventually lead to their demise is to END THE FED.
    Deprived of this cash cow, ZOG will wither on the vine.

    Dr Ron Paul and the libertarians knew from Day One what the solution was – because (unlike the Keynesians/Socialists /Marxists like Michael Hudson/Prof. Richard Wolff), they’re economically literate.

    All this is in the service of a profoundly unjust cause: to deny Palestinians their political rights in the service of Zionist extremism based on the 7th century BCE Book of Joshua. Remarkably, according to that text—one relied on by Israel’s own religious zealots—the Israelites were not even the original inhabitants of the land.

    So many Christians and Jews really need to go back and actually read the first several books of the old testament: Abraham was not from the Levant, but was born in UR, in modern day Iraq, and moved to Teran in modern day Turkey. He demanded his children and grandchildren not marry any natives of the Levant areas. Moses was from Egypt. The Abrahamites (what I call them) actually moved to Egypt according to these books and spent hundreds of years there before going back to terrorize the locals of the Levant.

    Of course, the old testament was not first written until about the 5th or 6th century BC. Before that it was largely oral tradition, so who the hell really knows how much of the Old testament is true? The idea that the ancient “Hebrews” had any claims on this area is also ridiculous.

    That the Jews of today (especially the Ashkenazi European ones) have somehow survived thousands of years in diaspora, and are the direct descendants of the ancient Hebrews is ludicrous at best, but downright lethal at worse seeing what this is all culminating in today.

    Montefiore continues with:

    “Now there is only one Jew in Limerick — and when Stuart Klein moved there in 1957, his Dublin friends were afraid for his life.”

    I’m beginning to feel like Hitler did when he wrote in Mein Kampf how, as he got to know and interact with Jews, he grew to despise them.

    So although I had always disliked much of this Jewish activism, I did generally have quite a bit of sympathy for it until a couple of decades ago when I gradually figured out that so much of our true history was totally different than what I’d always accepted, as I’ve described at enormous length in my American Pravda series. And since I’ve always prided myself on my intelligence and analytical ability, this whole situation greatly irritated me, filling me with considerable animosity towards the groups and individuals I blamed for my utter humiliation.

    One aspect of your remarks that strikes me as rather ironic is that despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, not least provided on this website and presented by my own hand, you’ve always steadfastly maintained your total belief in the reality of the Holocaust, certainly the single most important factor justifying and enabling the Jewish activism that you so condemn.

    I think you may also refuse to accept the overwhelming evidence that Israeli Mossad played a central role in both the JFK Assassination and the 9/11 Attacks, which are also such crucial elements of our shaping historical framework.

    That’s why I’ve sometimes half-suspected that you might be some sort of ultra-deep-cover mole. Thus, 95% of everything you write expresses powerful outrage at the severe misbehavior of Jews and Israel, thereby ingratiating you with most of the anti-Jewish commentariat. You then deploy this resulting credibility to push back against any questioning of the three or four most ultra-important elements of our official narrative.

    I’m certainly not saying you’re actually following that sort of deceptive strategy, but since it’s straight out of the Cognitive Infiltration 101 textbook, I’m naturally a little suspicious.

    Putin tolerates everything Netanyahu does, including genocide and the complete and total eradication of Russia’s strategic allies. Putin is even standing by and watching Netanyahu destroy bases and infrastructure up to and including in Tartus.

    My own guess is that at least 80-90% of Western Jews are just ignorant and gullible enough to simply believe the entire framework of historical reality constructed by our mainstream media, and their behavior is therefore at least semi-understandable as a consequence.

    My guess is that 90-99% of Jews can somehow balance the cognitive dissonance and psychopathy that the Jewish “religion” rains down on them every day. They can some how accept that there is no god, yet god gave them the right to steal land from Palestinians and form their “home for a people who have no home”. They can accept that the fake genocide of their own people justifies their committing of genocide against another people. They can accept that European lands must accept wave upon wave of refugees, yet their own country Israel must remain racially pure. They can demand “equality” as a human right, yet feel justified when >40% of students at ivy league schools are Jews and that Bidens cabinet was about 90% Jewish.

    This Jewish hypocrisy goes on and on without end.

    In summation: Jews like to claim that they are the smartest people on the planet while simultaneously playing dumb to all the havoc that they wreak across the planet every day. Jeffery Sachs is the poster boy for this Jewish hypocrisy.

    If leaders in the West were simply greedy, it might be understandable, but they also have lunatic beliefs about their place in the history of the world.

    That is correct and an uncomfortable subject here.

    The most pro-Israel politicians are the Rapture Ready House Republicans. You could take away their funding and they would still see themselves as honorary Jews. It’s really not an issue of AIPAC funding. They have core beliefs that existed before going into politics. Hegseth got his giant crusader tattoo when he was in the national guard.

    They view themselves as having a direct line to God and actually clash with secular Democrats in the Senate over Israel. They view secular Jews like Bernie Sanders as betraying Chosen Ones heritage for not rubber stamping every defensive bill for Israel.

    There is a complete lack of balance and absolutely zero representation of Southern rural Whites. The worst Rapture Ready conservatives are by far Southern and Evangelical. Country raised Baptists and Pentecostals that do not see themselves as White but lightly colored Hebrew descendants who chose the right messiah.

    We have zealously pro-Israel House Republicans arguing with moderately pro-Israel Senate Democrats. If that isn’t bad enough we are about to get a president who just nominated the most pro-Israel cabinet in history.

    If the founding fathers could see into the future I think they would have changed their minds on freedom of religion. Evangelism has become an intransient doomsday cult that denies race and puts Isarel first. In rapture circles they speak of America as a lost nation that can only be fixed by divine destruction. Jefferson was privately skeptical of the old testament and a Hebrew centered universe. Interestingly he suspected there were problems related to the nature of man but there were gaps in science at the time.

    Excellent repartee, Ron..
    I agree with your estimate that “at least 80-90% of Western Jews are just ignorant and gullible enough to simply believe the entire framework of the so-called historical reality…
    Nevertheless, attributing that construct of historical reality that Jews are gullible enough to believe to “our mainstream media†is wrong. Jews do not derive their understanding from the MSM.
    The flow is in the opposite direction: they feed their version to the jew-owned MSM for wide distribution.
    Ignoring the real source of Jewish indoctrination (tribal fealty drummed into their heads from the cradle to the grave) minimizes and makes it hard to appreciate the complex and arduous struggle of the ethical Jews who question their tribal identity, and the fact that abandoning “Jewishness†often means abandoning your family and life-long friends.
    When Jewishness is your Northern Star, abandoning it can leave you lost at sea unless you have a very strong personal moral compass, like the one Atzmon recommends: Athens against Jerusalem.
    Even among these “lapsed Jews†(Jews by ethnic origin only), phantom pains of Jewishness perdure in a way, whereby Jewishness is still a referent, but now it is the negative image of what they must always guard against and extinguish in themselves. I have personally known such Jews and while my experience is anecdotal, not probative, it is illustrative:

    I once did a project for a Jewish American scientist and upon completion I submitted the bill to him. I simply charged him for the number of hrs worked, did not give him any discount based on friendship or my admiration for him (related also to prior conversations, like, for example, his description of the emotional impact his visit to the Lascaux caves made on him, which revealed a man of superior intellect and sensitivity, but that’s another anecdote).
    He looked at the bill and said “How did you calculate thisâ€? “Number of hours I worked on it.†He gave me a check for TWICE that amount saying: “My Jewish grandmother used to tell us, ‘Never ever pay more than you absolutely have to.’ But if she were alive today I’d explain to her that your work is well worth this payment.†The man could not simply be generous, as was undoubtedly in his character; he felt the need to make it an act of revolt, a proof of “unjewishness.â€
    Such Jews make me think of Ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arrangement that purports to be focused on asymmetry. Yet no ikebana arrangement shows lack of symmetry (which would be a haphazard thing) but rather a focused attempt to express anti-symmetry.

    I shared a cab once with the most vocal and articulate “ex-Jew†I know, and since I got off first I insisted on giving him my share of the fare. What did he say? “How unjewish of you!†Any non-Jew, if he wanted to make any comment at all might have said “How Dutch of you!â€

    I believe that for an ethical Jew who is a first generation rejectionist of “Jewishness,†introspection and self-testing is a constant, life-long endeavor. It is for these Jews that I have not only “quite a bit of sympathy†and also admiration.

    This is an interesting point — but only partly satisfying. Other groups believe more or less fictional versions of their history: not to single them out, but Greeks, Irishmen, Poles, and Hawaiians come to mind.

    However, it doesn’t lead them into the sort of frenetic and culturally subversive activism so pronounced among Jews. Simple indolence may not be a virtue, but it does make them less of a problem.

    ‘…I’m certainly not saying you’re actually following that sort of deceptive strategy…’

    I’m glad to hear that. My response would essentially be that because you have adopted a contrarian position doesn’t require me to adopt it.

    I don’t know who the hell whacked Kennedy. If you are convinced the Israelis did it (perfectly plausible), that doesn’t mean I have to agree.

    For what it’s worth, I think that yes, the Holocaust did occur, and largely as described. I’d point out that insisting it didn’t (a) evades the considerably more interesting and fraught question of why it did, and (b) allows us to overlook the detail that we as Americans are adopting a position with respect to Israel’s crimes that is astonishingly similar to that the Germans took with respect to the mass murder of the Jews. History may not repeat, but it does rhyme — but we don’t notice when it does!

    As to 9/11, Saudi Arabian terrorists certainly did carry out that attack, and it certainly did occur. Israel also was certainly was involved. To what extent, I’m not sure. Merely passively but benignly letting the attack take place? Actively guiding and facilitating it? Gute Frage. Of course one can select one’s evidence and present a case for almost anything, but I remain unsure.

    Anyway, thanks for your reply, and while I refuse to go down the rabbit hole of arguing about the evidence for Holocaust Denial (look, if there was no Holocaust, where did all those Jews go?) or the notion that I might be a deep state mole merely because I dissent from your dissents, I remain interested in the other questions that you raised.

    There was also some Viennese (?) Hochjude who died young after vilifying his fellow Hebrews.

    See also some of the intracommunal conversation. In Yochna and Schelke, Isaac Bashevis Singer delivers what can be read as a stinging denunciation of Shtetl culture. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1977/02/14/yochna-and-shmelke

    For a bit back in the early 2000’s, Haaretz was enjoying itself reporting on cases of incest and sexual abuse in the Israeli Haredi community — it was a fertile field. Then they pulled back. They realized the goyim might read of it?

    I’d say Jews go at each other hammer and tongs. I really don’t mind it at all if they do. Like Poles drinking or Swedes not having children, it’s their funeral. It’s that the Jews go after us as well that’s the problem.

    Indeed. My take would be that Jews can recognize the folly of the various particular items on their agenda — but they never come to terms with the flaws that drive them to formulate the agenda in the first place. How can we permit such activism from a group that remains so profoundly suspicious of and hostile towards ordinary white Christian civilization? What is this impulse to undermine, subvert, wreck?

    It’s there. That observation is inescapable. Just count up the Jewish names the next time you see a piece on anything advocating any of this sabotage. Three out of five will be Jews, or four out of five, or all five. It’s drearily predictable.

    However, I’ll point out that contra your assumption, I doubt if most Jews ‘wrestle’ with these issues. They’re fed a line they find congenial, and they accept it. Like most of us, they’re too busy with other things to bother. It’s like my elderly neighbor who remains convinced the Palestinians beheaded forty Jewish babies. She was told it, it suited her, and she’s never had the time or interest to look into it further.

    ‘Of course, the old testament was not first written until about the 5th or 6th century BC. Before that it was largely oral tradition, so who the hell really knows how much of the Old testament is true?’

    In my opinion, what it was was a pastiche of the various legendary material floating around the Persian Empire and the Hellenic successor states, collated and edited between the Fifth Century BC and the Year Zero or thereabouts.

    Before the recent past it has no historical value at all. References in it are like those in Medieval texts claiming that the current king is descended ‘from Brutus.’ Of course ____ the Fat or whoever wasn’t descended ‘from Brutus.’ It’s merely an attempt to lend dignity to his authority.

    Similarly with anything in the Old Testament pertaining to events before about 600 BC. It’s just every legend on hand, assembled with an eye to glorifying and lending authority to the cult practiced by those assembling it. And in point of fact, the claims therein are rarely supported by any external evidence and often directly conflict with what external evidence we do have. Contemporaries appear to be oblivious of this mighty Jewish Kingdom, cities are sacked that the archeological record shows hadn’t been founded yet, Israelites herd camels that had yet to be domesticated, etc.

    As a historical source it’s nonsense; of interest for telling us about the mentality of those who composed it — but not of any for more distant history. We can infer facts about Herod or the Seleucids from its rantings — aren’t going to learn much about the Babylonians.

    Another apt comparison would be to Mallory’s Morte d’Arthur. Want to get a feel for Fifteenth Century England — great source. Think it tells you about Dark Age Britain? May I interest you in a bridge?

That is, an all out war, non-nuclear.

    There are many reasons and variables, which I have considered. Also, analyzing the opinions of the real experts is taken into consideration. Furthermore, at this point, the West has already committed acts of war against Russia by invasion, directly.

    Therefore, a barrage of unstoppable non-nuclear missiles targeting NATO HQs is justified at this time. As well the same for the HQ of the European Union. If a WWIII becomes full on, expect these targets to be reduced to scrap.

    This question is unanswerable. If “scorched earth” means denuded, no cover, then that would be a lot of exposure, easy reconnaissance from the air. It means no place to hide.

    I had read a report that stated Zelensky wanted the cache of materiel and armaments of the Syrian Army transferred to Ukraine. This request was made through the US. Putin called Netanyahoo and asked him to destroy these armaments, in BOTH their interests, ASAP.

    I used to double pay the shoeshine boys in Bogotá 33¢ instead of 16¢ without giving them a brief family history as to why. And, if I had been a Jew doing the same it wouldn’t be because I “felt the need to make it an act of revolt” or “proof of “unjewishness.”‘ It would have been for the same reason: because they were poor, homeless, and needed the money. Turning a minor moment of generosity into a grandstanding, revolutionary, event is, frankly, bizarre.

    The Jew who double paid you simply wasn’t as tightfisted as his dear ol’ granny, while his telling you that family story while double paying you is about as Jewish as it gets; his making a show out of his generosity – “granny would not be pleased with me, but you’re worth it!” – completely ruins your claim he was in an act of anti-Jewish revolt. As per usual, you incorrectly read far too much into this small event, the same as you so often do with large world events.

    One hopes you’re wrong. Perhaps Israel has taken another giant step downwards with her latest outrages. For Chrissakes, she’s openly singing songs rejoicing in killing women and children. Now back in the day, it was different.

    I remember noticing that back in the Seventies, mainstream opinion was that of course Israel was substantially in the right. Perhaps a bit hard-handed, but then they had to be.

    Then by the 2000’s, it was ‘they really should be reined in somehow. Oh, what to do…’

    It’s very hard to take desert land without air power and Syria’s jets have been destroyed.

    The simple reality is that Israel stands to gain from Putin’s betrayal. Wishful thinking doesn’t somehow change their position.

    Israel has the latest in air power and plenty of time to beef up defenses. But more importantly they have an ace in the hole in DC. Bigley. Don’t be surprised if Trump works a deal whereby Israel gets a permanent cut of Syria. Let’s not forget that Golan was supposed to be temporary.

    I honestly wish we had a government like Israel. Must be nice having a government that values its people and acts in their best interest. As I said in another thread they also have top level health care for their workers and somehow do it without the insurance companies that our Republicans tell us are vital to God’s Super Special American Capitalism. The chosen ones can pick and choose from American capitalism. Israeli Jews get full healthcare while rural Whites get lectures on how they should value their Randian capitalist system that may bankrupt them if they get sick.

    There is a sense in which “Netanyahu the Outlier” is being exaggerated. He has served
    in office more years than any would like, but his habitual grand larceny is needed to
    support his Wife’s shopping addiction. If he leaves office he will be treated like the
    common thief and that worries him more than the ICJ’s indictment.

    He continues to have substantial, majority public support and there are those in his
    cabinet more murderous than the P.M., himself, so he is hardly an outlier

    Bear in mind that Blinken has far more blood on his hands from Ukraine and Gaza,
    if you can ignore his spoof of a latter day Mideast peace crusader. Granted, our dapper

    Xi’s family (Jewish) date back to the 19th century, when his family presented their son for plastic surgery to resemble a Han Chinese. Also, a subcutaneous substance was injected to give his skin a certain “yellow” (which is more fat under the skin than Caucasians).

    The goal was to implant a double agent as a mole in the Chinese society, constantly handled by the active secret Chopbad Judaic Underground. As is evident, the project was a success.

    Kevin Macdonald asserts that the Talmud does not appear to be interested in the answers to such questions for their own sake so much as in using them as a device to display and develop a certain brand of reasoning.

    Like if I ask you what are the possible values of x that will satisfy 2x^2 + 7x = 32. I’m not actually interested in knowing what x is, but in seeing if you can determine the correct answer.

    To be fair, this may absolve the Talmud of some of the more serious charges laid against it. Questions about whether a gentile should be left to drown if he falls into a well may reveal the religious prejudices of the authors, but it’s not necessarily evidence of any particular interest in fomenting sectarian hostility. The interest in the question may lie more in the abstract intellectual issues it raises.

    [MORE]

    abstract intellectual issues it raises !!

    Question : What is the duty of a Muslim towards a non-Muslim? Whether he is a dhimmi in a Muslim country? Or he is in his country and the Muslim lives in the country of that non-Muslim person? The duty that I want to clarify is dealings of all kinds, starting from greeting him and ending with celebrating his holidays. Please advise us, may Allah reward you with good.

    Fourth:

    He should not initiate the greeting, but should respond, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “Do not initiate the greeting of peace to the Jews or Christians.†Narrated by Muslim.

    He also said: “If the People of the Book greet you, then say: ‘And upon you.’†Agreed upon.

    So a Muslim does not initiate the greeting of peace to a disbeliever, but when a Jew, Christian or other disbeliever greets him, he should say: “And upon you,†as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) commanded. This is one of the legitimate rights between a Muslim and a disbeliever, including good neighbourliness.

    A Muslim is not allowed to participate in their celebrations or holidays,

    but there is nothing wrong with offering condolences to them for their death, if he sees a legitimate interest in that, by saying: May God compensate for your loss, or may He replace you with something better, and similar good words.

    He should not say: May God forgive him, or may He have mercy on him if he was a disbeliever, meaning he should not pray for the dead, but rather he should pray for the living for guidance and good compensation and the like.

    Regime is ANY form of governance, ignoramus.
    Dictionaries are being constantly revised in Orwellian fashion and with enough brain washing people eventually forget that “gay” for example used to be simply a synonym for “merry.” The French used to call the monarchy that existed before the Republic “l’ancien regime”– simply the old, previous regime.

    Addendum: understanding is multi-channel. One might feel a solid conclusion or thesis has been reached by raw data and concrete information.

    However, that is not always accessible. In times of less than ideal information and data access, extrapolation, projection, and prediction are necessary. Hence “divine”, the process of knowing using other than empirical methods and sensate information, generally.

    The Buddhist law of continuous causation, also known as the law of cause and effect, is the idea that all things in the world are produced by the combination of a primary cause and a secondary cause. This law is explained in the doctrine of dependent origination, which states that all phenomena are produced and destroyed by cause.
    Here are some key aspects of the Buddhist law of continuous causation:

    Karma
    The law of moral causation, which states that good and bad actions in one life determine roles in the next life.

    Dependent origination
    The idea that all things arise from or are produced through the agency of a condition.
