Co-President Musk Wins Government Shutdown

All of you numskulls who voted for the Moron-in-Chief, take notice. Trump is slouched in his bed watching Fox at 3:00 am, while his co-president Elon Musk, a man who bought his unelected way to power, runs the show of funding the government and FAILS. The US is headed to a government shutdown tonight.

Celebrate your victory with how the imbecile is Making America Great Again. He and his co-president thrive in chaos and  anarchy, and they want to shut down the government until January 20 when the Supreme Moron is inthroned. Will Elon Musk stand by Trump and take the oath of office with him on January 20th? Musk should have his hand on the bible while Trump can have his hand in Elon Musk's back pocket, right into his wallet.

Those who voted for the asinine blond orangutan primate are not busy right now with a chaotic US government; they are busy spending their money on stupid presents and gifts that make billionnaires like Musk and Bezos and others even wealthier. They have you by the brain. They have you by the balls. They have you tethered to their derelict heath care system, the joke of the world. They have their hands in your wallets by convincing you that spending your money on crap is how one is a good Christian and a good patriotic American. "Shopping" should be inscribed in the constitution as a duty of patriotic Americans, with severe penalties for those who do not spend enough on crap. Yes, consumption and pollution are the drivers of the US economy: TrumpElon wants you to consume as much as you can, but then to also pollute your environment since they want to deregulate everything. 

I often wonder how do those profoundly pseudo-Christians find a compromise between Christian charity and modesty on one hand, and their belief in a free-for-all free market which is a deeply Darwinian principle, on the other hand. They do not believe in evolution and natural selection, but want human society to operate strictly on the basis of cruel Darwinian competition, while they believe in some Big Zombie in the Sky, the fake birth of whose son is this December 25 where one is compelled "for God and country" to spend one's savings and sink in debt to buy crap and fill the pockets of the billionnaire silverbacks who manufacture the crap.

Republic of Ireland Kicks out Israeli Ambassador

Faithful to its reputation as a decent nation that understands and lives with the deep scars left by the barbarian English colonialist occupier, Ireland has done eveything to spit out, indeed vomit, the filth of Israeli barbarity in the Middle East, including its courageous decision to recognize a Palestinian state. It thus forced Israel to shut down its embassy in Ireland due to the European nation’s extreme decency and respect for human rights and self-determination in Palestine.

Naturally, the Zionist criminals packed their bag of rotten accusations of antisemitism and cleared their butts off the island, but not before issuing lies-filled statements of a disgruntled criminal employee who has just been fired for illegal and indecent actions. For example, the Zionist settler foreign minister Gideon Sa’ar spewed his typical voodoo Zionist venom - which the Irish and many people around the planet have come to see for the deception that it is and have built a resistance and immunity against it - saying “the actions and antisemitic rhetoric used by Ireland against Israel are rooted in the delegitimization and demonization of the Jewish state...” Sooooo very boring and repetitive filth designed as a condom to protect this asshole of a country as it wages savagery and genocide in Palestine.  How long can these mongrels keep lying and think that people will still believe them?

Ireland decided in May to formally recognize a Palestinian state, as Israel continued its savagery against the innocent people of Gaza. Ireland also backed South Africa’s case against Israel at the International Court of Justice, asserting that the Jewish state is committing genocide against Palestinians.

This is one of the first in a chain of nations to express their impatience and utter repulsion at the what the US colony in Palestine is doing. Other nations (Norway, Spain etc.) are following suit and Israel is increasingly isolated. Some 175 countries at the UN stand against Israel and the only string that keeps the Zionist colony afloat is the American veto lifeline and weapons supplies. The truth is now clear to all: Israel is nothing more than a US military base in the Near East and its army is nothing more than a mercenary Jewish settler army whose "promised land of milk and honey" has turned into a hellish cesspool of blood and violence.

Israel's ambassador is fleeing Ireland like a pestilential rat. Two other European nations having unilaterally recognized a Palestinian state, the Zionist ambassadors there will soon be packing their filth and leaving Spain and Norway.

Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid admitted the slide of Israel into an uncivilized colony of foreigners traumatizing the native indigenous population of Palestine when he said it was "running away from confrontation".

Last week, the Irish government in Dublin said it would support South Africa’s push to have the Israeli barbarity against Palestine be officially recognized as genocide by the Hague. Irish officials have drawn parallels to their nation’s centuries-long struggle against English occupation in defending the Palestinian cause. Irish peacekeeping soldiers of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) have become regular targets of both the Jewish settler terrorists of the "Israeli" army and the Muslim terrorists of the Iranian "Hezbollah" in south Lebanon.

The International Criminal Court has meanwhile issued arrest warrants against two Zionist war criminals, the US governor of the Jewish colony in Palestine (a.k.a. "prime minister") Benjamin Betanyahu and his former minister of war and genocide, Yoav Gallant. Both are now wanted war criminals who stand to be arrested the moment they set foot on the soil of nearly 124 countries worldwide.

Irish prime minister Simon Harris commented on the "voluntary eviction" of Israel from Irish soil by saying, “Ireland wants a two-state solution and for Israel and Palestine to live in peace and security. Ireland will always speak up for human rights and international law. Nothing will distract from that.”

KILL THEM ALL: Proof of Israel's Genocide Intent

Long before the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023, this is what every Israeli has always dreamed of when thinking about the Palestinian people. The photo below is from a 2016 protest in Tel Aviv in support of a criminal Israeli soldier who shot and killed a wounded Palestinian civilian lying on the ground bleeding from a previous shot by another Israeli soldier.


 

Israeli protester holding the sign “Kill Them All" reflects the deep-seated fantasy of Israeli Jews to murder ALL Palestinians. For one, they covet their land. Two, they know that their state, Israel, was a colony created by the British and their Nazi friends, with untold violence of killings, massacres, terrorism, land theft and other fine methods of the white man's burden of civilizing the natives. Like all colonial monsters. There were several "Christian" European colonial empires in the 18th and 19th centuries - French, German, English, Italian, Dutch, Spanish, Belgian.... - but not a single "Jewish" European colonial empire. So, the European Jews decided to have their own playground in some "savage" country where they could steal, rape, pilfer resources, enslave the natives, and go on vacation. Israel is like a Jewish Disneyland, a Jewish Côte d'Azur on the Mediterranean, a Jewish me-too colony. 

Except that the natives, the Palestinians, did not like the idea. They had barely emerged from 400 years of a barbarian Turkish occupation and were placed by the League of Nations in the custody of another barbarian occupation, that of the English crooks. When the latter began importing German, Russian, and other central and eastern European Jews to settle in Palestine, the Palestinians fought back, but they lost in the face of wealthy, powerful, well-armed enemies. Palestine lost, and the monstrosity of Israel was created and the rest is history. But the Palestinians have not given up. They are still fighting despite the odds.

A number of viral posts recently shared the photograph of the Israeli protester holding up the “Kill Them All” sign. The posts were accompanied by ironic captions like “Enjoy Zionism” or “Meet our Israeli protestors advocating for peace” or "Most Moral People on earth" or "Light unto Nations", etc. Jewish hatred to the Palestinians long pre-dated the October 7 Hamas attack which is now being used as a pretext to comple the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestine. The placard in the photo is a pure unadulterated expression of the deep-seated desire by the Jews to make the Palestinian people disappear from existence. What better way to achieve that goal than "Kill Them ALL"?

The Israelis, Zionists and assorted Jews have long tried to make the Palestinian identity disappear from existence - "there is no such thing as a Palestinian people", said former prime minister of the Jewish colony Golda Meir once - a very convenient corollary to the other Zionist slogan of "a land without people for a people without land" which Zionists have shoved down the throat of ignorant dumb westerners for decades. 

But the land had a people. It still has a people. And this people is fighting and not going anywhere, unless the Americans and their British dogs acquiesce to the criminal Zionists acting out their fantasies of completing the ethnic cleansing of Palestine they began in 1948 and driving the Gaza Palestinians into Egypt's Sinai, the West Bank Palestinians into Jordan, and the 1948 Palestinians (those Palestinians who stayed in the mangled Palestine now called Israel) into Syria and Lebanon. The pure Jewish state would then finally be born. A third temple would be built atop the demolished Aqsa Mosque and the Church of the Nativity. And all that God's Chosen people would then have to do is wait for their fucking Messiah to return and kill more of their enemies. I think Netanyahu should declare himself the Jewish Messiah: After all, the Jews believe the Messiah to be a warlord whose mission is to slaughter their enemies. What else is Netanyahu doing in Gaza and the West Bank? This is what the bible says. It's the word of God. Can God be wrong? Of course not for every dimwitted religious people out there, like the Jews, the Evangelicals of the dumb American south, and most Catholics, Protestants and Orthodox Christians as well as Muslims who believe the so-called "scriptures" literally. Senile Joe Biden did declare himself once to be a "Catholic Zionist".

KILL THEM ALL. When the nightmare of their rape of Palestine haunts them at night, Israelis dream of making the Palestinians disappear, vanish. They haven't been able to shed their guilt for their crimes between the 1920s and 1940s, so they have two options: Either continue further in the path of extermination and annihilation so that one day there will no longer be a Palestinian people, or repent and atone for their crime by recognizing the existence of their victim and somehow come to terms with it. So far, all indications point to the foreign Jewish settlers of Palestine having chosen the first  option.

The event leading to the protest shown above with the "Kill Them All" sign is captured in a video showing a Palestinian man lying wounded on the ground in Hebron, then an Israeli soldier approcahes the wounded man and shoots him in the head, killing him on the spot. Under intense pressure, the Israeli justice system sentenced the Israeli murderer in February 2017 to a whopping 18 months in prison for manslaughter. Eighteen months only for a crime of such brutality: This is how the two-faced Israeli justice works: One abominable standard for the Palestinian victims, and another easy get-out-of-jail standard for Jewish criminals.

Before the sentencing took place, thousands of Israeli protesters rallied in the streets of Tel Aviv, calling for the soldier's release. In the mind of the racist Jews of Israel, how dare a justice system punish a superior God-chosen Jewish criminal who killed an inferior and disposable Palestinian human being? Isn't this the foundation of the biblical garbage: Fornicating Abraham had the illegitimate Ismael (father of the Arabs) by sleeping with his Arab maid Haggar, but when 99-year-old Jewish Sarah miraculously bore him a son Isaac (father of the Jews), God proceeded to chase Haggar and her bastard son Ismael out in the desert. Anyone who accepts this tale as a reflection of God's fairness is a sick fuck and a deranged individual. Mind you, such tales were written by Jews: a self-serving, self-aggrandizing, self-centered nomadic tribe wandering the deserts with their filth, yet making claims of God's favoritism to them. Yet, even in this 21st century, the monotheistic cults somehow derive morals and ethics from that garbage, and use it as a justification for inflicting pain on others and waging wars against innocent people.

I cannot but cite Bob Dylan's "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" where the double standards of western justice continue to work in Palestine as they do in the racist American south. The disposable Black woman is murdered by an entitled White man who is then sentenced to 6 months in prison in the mockery of American justice. Replace Black woman with Palestinian, and entitled White man with Israeli and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between how "white" American southern racism dehumanizes "black" African slaves and how "white" Israeli Jewish racism continues to dehumanize the "brown" Palestinian people. Hasn't the time come for the tears of Western enablers of Israeli barbarity?

---------------------------------------------------------------

"William Zanzinger killed poor Hattie Carroll
With a cane that he twirled around his diamond ring finger
At a Baltimore hotel, society gath'rin'
And the cops were called in, and his weapon took from him
As they rode him in custody down to the station
And booked William Zanzinger for first-degree murder

But you who philosophize, disgrace and criticize all fears
Take the rag away from your face, now ain't the time for your tears

 

William Zanzinger, who at 24 years, owns a tobacco farm of 600 acres
With rich wealthy parents who provide and protect him
And high office relations in the politics of Maryland
Reacted to his deed with a shrug of his shoulders
And swear words and sneering, and his tongue it was snarling
In a matter of minutes, on bail was out walkin'

But you who philosophize, disgrace and criticize all fears
Take the rag away from your face, now ain't the time for your tears

 

Hattie Carroll was a maid in the kitchen
She was 51 years old and gave birth to 10 children
Who carried the dishes and took out the garbage
And never sat once at the head of the table
And didn't even talk to the people at the table
Who just cleaned up all the food from the table
And emptied the ashtrays on a whole other level
Got killed by a blow, lay slain by a cane
That sailed through the air and came down through the room
Doomed and determined to destroy all the gentle
And she never done nothing to William Zanzinger

And you who philosophize, disgrace and criticize all fears
Take the rag away from your face, now ain't the time for your tears

 

In the courtroom of honor, the judge pounded his gavel
To show that all's equal and that the courts are on the level
And that the strings in the books ain't pulled and persuaded
And that even the nobles get properly handled
Once that the cops have chased after and caught 'em
And that the ladder of law has no top and no bottom
Stared at the person who killed for no reason
Who just happened to be feelin' that way without warnin'
And he spoke through his cloak, most deep and distinguished
And handed out strongly for penalty and repentance
William Zanzinger with a six-month sentence

Oh, but you who philosophize, disgrace and criticize all fears
Bury the rag deep in your face for now's the time for your tears

 

Even Before Inauguration, Trump Already Downplays Campaign Promises

Trump Begins Recanting Campaign Promises Before Even Taking Office

Trans People No Longer a Problem for Campaign Liar Trump

In a stunning change of tune, President-elect Donald Trump said in an interview that the transgender bathroom debate isn’t that important and doesn’t affect many people anyway – despite his campaign and other GOP groups pouring tens of millions of dollars into political ads attacking transgender people.

“I don’t want to get into the bathroom issue, because it’s a very small number of people we’re talking about.”

“We’re talking about a very small number of people, and we’re talking about it, and it gets massive coverage, and it’s not a lot of people,” Trump said.

Trump’s latest comments are in sharp contrast to the way that he and his party relentlessly attacked transgender people on the campaign trail, stoking fears about trans people in sports, in bathrooms and in pursuit of gender-affirming care.

By the end of the campaign season, the GOP had spent nearly $215 million on television ads fanning fear and hatred of trans people, according to AdImpact data cited by a Washington Post reporter.

One of Trump’s most memorable campaign ads attacked Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris for supporting trans rights. “Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you,” said the 30-second ad.

Trump reportedly aired this ad more than 30,000 times in every swing state and spent more money on it than on all the other ads in his campaign combined.

In his Time interview, Trump was also asked about Republican attacks on transgender Rep.-elect Sarah McBride (D-Del.). McBride isn’t even in Congress yet and has already become the target of transphobic attacks by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), who introduced a bill aimed at barring McBride from using women’s bathrooms in the House.

McBride has responded to Mace’s attacks by saying there are more important issues to focus on in Congress than bathrooms. When Trump was asked if he agrees with incoming House Democrat McBride, he emphatically said yes. “I do agree with that. On that—absolutely,” said the president-elect. “As I was saying, it’s a small number of people.”

Even Before Inauguration, Trump is Already Downplaying Campaign Promises

The Liar-in-Chief who fooled his ignorant base and then some additional idiots with his Don Quixote promises is already preparing them for disappointment.

For example, not one month ago he promised to lower prices. Now, he says it would be "too hard" to do so. Deporting 20 million foreign criminals and rapists will have to be cut down to a few thousands, way less in fact than the number of deportations that Joe Biden actually implemented.

When TIME magazine (which recently named him “Poison of the Year”) asked the Supreme Moron if his presidency would fail if he's unable to bring down grocery prices as promised, the inveterate liar said, ​​“It’s hard to bring things down once they’re up.” He added, “You know, it’s very hard.”

Compare that with his campaign promises to  his ignorant herd that "incomes and net worths would soar and skyrocket, and energy costs and grocery prices would come tumbling down".

Both top campaign issues for the asinine candidate, namely the economy and immigration, are now being served to his riff raff herd with much lower expectations. He has not even been inaugurated yet.

As the master ignoramus on economics, Trump's tariffs - besides the fact that they will have be toned way down - will only drive up costs for the American consumer. During an interview with Kristen Welker on NBC's “Meet the Press,” Trump said he couldn’t “guarantee” that Americans wouldn’t pay more for goods and described tariffs as “beautiful,” adding, “It’s going to make us rich.” It is quite obvious that Trump’s stance on tariffs shows he doesn’t understand how tariffs work, and that he will be propelling the country into a much worse recession than the one we experienced under Biden.

Canada is already preparing a slew of retaliatory measures: Cut off electric power from most northern US states and impose its own tariffs on US goods. Canada is also the largest foreign supplier of steel, aluminum and uranium to the U.S. and has 34 critical minerals and metals that the Pentagon is investing in for national security. Charlie Angus of the Canadian Parliament said in an interview about Trump, "...this kind of dismissive, idiotic behavior? I mean, he’s a juvenile." Ontario, Canada’s most populous province and home to the Liquor Control Board of Ontario, could restrict LCBO from buying U.S.-made alcohol and also restrict electricity exports if Trump imposes sweeping tariffs.

Another of Trump’s proposed policies is to extend his tax cut for billionaires like himself while imposing massive tariffs against our trade partners and allies, which in turn will raise costs to the middle class.

To the idiots who voted for him: Welcome to the hell you have yourselves created. You were warned, but did not listen to the experts; you preferred to listen to the populist liar, convicted criminal, moron, and adulterer fake Christian. 

 

Bailing out: Being Censored

Someone didn't like my post criticizing the Maronites of Lebanon for being fools and believing that Donald Trump is their savior, just as they thought once that Michel Aoun was their savior. Instead he turned out to be a traitor who sold them to his own enemy Syria's Assad regime and its Hezbollah terror organization. I can't wait to see their silly faces when Trump gives them the shaft, like Reagan did in 1983, like Bush Sr. did in 1989... all Republican presidents.

The Maronites of Lebanon are like all Arabs: They always look for "heroes" to save them from the cesspool of their own primitiveness because they can't save themselves by themselves. They always need help because they are extremist individualists: They can never work together for a common objective. Every Maronite is a general, none is a soldier. Everybody wants to be the boss, and no one wants to do the hard detailed work. Every Maronite is a stand-alone political party. Put two Maronites together to form a new party, and within a few days or weeks, they split into two parties. The per capita ratio of political parties in Lebanon is the highest in the world for one of the tiniest countries on earth. 

Many of them become billionnaires by corruption and cheating around the world, and the best thing their poor brains imagine doing with their money is: become "important" and build a church back in the village on top of the already existing ten churches built by previous "important" people. This is as far as their imagination can go: more churches, more ugly plaster statues of saints and would-be saints dotting the hilltops in testimony to their bigoted ignorance. Even the Vatican has tired of the Maronite assembly chain production of saints. There are Maronite villages where each clan has its own church; sounds like the Mafia in Sicily or Corsica. Christian love? What is that?

Some acerebral people never learn from their bitter experiences.

One complaint to Blogpost is all it took for several of my posts to be deleted and my access blocked for several days. Now I can access it but the harm is done and it's too late.

Welcome to a brave new world where speech can be so easily and arbitrarily repressed. 

I have moved my blog elsewhere.

Has Anyone Publicly Held Bassil and Aoun Accountable for Enabling Hezbollah?

And former Aoun financier and lackey Gaby Issa for that matter?

Nowadays, Gebran Bassil, a.k.a. Zebran Basij, goes around in public like he's never done anything wrong. Now that he sees the full picture of where Hezbollah is leading Lebanon, Bassil doesn't mince his words in attacking Hezbollah and saying that he is against the Iranian party and the war in which it has plunged Lebanon.

Hello? Has everyone forgotten the past 20 years? Anyone out there reminding the Dear Leader's dwarf son-in-law with the annoying voice (like scratching chalk on a blackboard) that he engineered the surge of Hezbollah from an underground terrorist organization into a "respectable" political party hiding its obscenity under Bassil's Christian fig leaf? Wasn't he the one who convinced the old man Aoun to completely turn his patriotic career onto its head by signing the infamous Memorandum of Understanding with feu Nasrallah and becoming a traitor Maréchal Petain of Lebanon, just to sit in that miserable chair in Baabda? Wasn't it Bassil who, twice - in 2014, then again in 2022 - backed Hezbollah's obstruction of Parliament to prevent a democratic election of a president?

Why aren't the leaders of the other Christian parties not publicly shaming this imbecile for his sudden turnabout from a traitor to a patriot? Many of Aoun's men had ditched the treason camp long ago, including yours truly, but many remained on board to become pathetic MPs and ministers and betray the foundational principles of Aoun's movement. Included among the stink-on-a-monkey prefidious opportunists are the FPM cesspool's long-time residents like Alain Aoun, Simon Abi-Ramia and Ibrahim Kanaan. These charlatans jumped off the FPM ship of treason at the very last minute to save their hides and political careers, oblivious to the fact that they had licked Bassil's shoes and ass for two decades without any shame, as they sensed the end of Hezbollah is near and unable to convince the dwarf to be more of a man and less of a wannabe president at all cost.

One day, if there is any justice in this tormented land, Bassil should be judged and thrown out by the Christian electorate, along with the lackey and butler Gaby Issa who was declaring not long ago that Hezbollah should multiply its rocket and missile arsenal a hundred, a thousand fold... Read all about it on: [https://lebanoniznogood.blogspot.com/2022/09/turncoat-gaby-issa-in-his-own-words.html]. I wonder where Issa is hiding these days.

Devil Trump Lured the Dumb Evangelicals into Temptation

Evangelicals and other religious barbarians are dumb to begin with. Religious beliefs are virtually always for stupid, ignorant and insecure people. So they are an easy target for crooks who take advantage of them by speaking their own language and imitating their postures. Convicted rapist, abuser, adulterer, fornicator, cheater Trump has been selling very expensive bibles. Does that make him a man of God? So he claims while nothing in the course of his life demonstrates anything close to what a Christian ought to be.

The last temptation of Donald Trump: How he lured evangelicals to follow Satan
Nathaniel Manderson
Sun, November 3, 2024

Many distractions in this life can take a person away from their true path. Even as I put these words together, I think about everything unrelated to my writing. I think about my career and need to find work that gets me out of being constantly underemployed. I find myself looking around the coffee shop where I write. I watch other people talking. I wonder about their lives, and why they seem to have figured out something I have not. Sometimes my mind goes back to my history of making historically bad decisions. I think about my bills, my kids, past partners, my family and all the ways I generally feel sorry for myself. All the while good work needs to be done. In my own understanding, God's work needs to be done, yet this world's distractions and temptations keep me far from the ministry and teachings of Jesus Christ.

As I consider the temptations in my own life, I realize that the current leadership of the evangelical church in America — which is my own religious background — has fallen prey to the temptations offered by Donald Trump. These temptations are eerily similar to the temptations the devil offered Jesus in the desert, before Jesus began his ministry.

For those of you who do not know this story, which is told most famously in the Gospel of Luke, Jesus goes into the desert to fast for 40 days and prepare himself to do his work. At this time, Satan comes to him, offering the same three temptations, at least as Christians understand it, that can pull anyone and everyone off their true path. They are the same temptations Trump has offered to the evangelical movement, with the difference being that the evangelical movement has chosen to follow Trump as he leads them away from God and closer to the path set forth by the devil himself.

The first temptation was the offer of turning stones into bread. Jesus would have been starving by that time, but his famous reply was that man does not live on bread alone. I must admit that the thought of having more money — more bread, both literally and metaphorically — is as powerful to me as to anyone else. I want to provide more for my daughters, and every time I have to explain to them why I can't afford something, it breaks my heart. Yet I also understand money has the potential to take me down a dangerous path, away from my true calling as a teacher and counselor.

Trump has offered the evangelical church a lot of bread, and the possibility to live the way he does. There are invitations to Mar-a-Lago, trips on the Trump plane, tax breaks for the wealthy and, on a larger scale, an economy that is constructed to benefit the richest people in our society, prominent evangelical ministers among them. In every area of life, when money becomes the end goal, community is undermined, art suffers and the truth is distorted. The church is no different. Evangelical leaders, by the way, are terrified of this message. They twist themselves into theological knots teaching and preaching that it's OK to be both a millionaire and a minister to the gospel of Christ.

I don't know if it is or it isn't, but I do know there is a specific message in the gospel about the temptation of greed, and I know that temptation can undermine the teachings of Jesus Christ. Somehow or other, for many evangelical Christians, paying proper wages to the working class, offering opportunities to the disadvantaged and welcoming foreigners have become evil things, and providing tax breaks for billionaires has become a foundation of the Christian faith. Trump has offered evangelical leaders almost limitless bags of cash, and those leaders will do anything to get their hands on it.

The devil's second temptation is the offer of protection and safety. In the gospel, he urges Jesus to jump off the roof of the temple — if he is truly the son of God, surely his father, will protect him. Jesus replies that we must not put the Lord God to the test. This is an interesting temptation that we often encounter in life. The desire for comfort, safety and protection is almost universal. In my career, I have greatly desired job protection, for example, but that is never guaranteed when you are committed to telling the truth. Diplomacy was never my strong suit and my working life has been a struggle. I wish it weren't that way, but over time it has taught me that sometimes security becomes more important to people than their own integrity.

I see that in the evangelical support of Donald Trump. His offer of protection is clear, and something he discusses all the time. He promises to keep the Christians safe from the evil forces of liberalism. The left is coming for your guns, he tells them. They will persecute you for your Christian faith. Your children are in danger of conversion by the "woke" mob on college campuses, on television, in the big cities. Never fear, believing Christians, Donald Trump will keep you safe.

The problem with this message — other than the fact that it comes from the devil — is that there was no promise of safety for those who chose to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. Indeed, it is the follower who risks their own safety by choosing to love their enemies, heal the sick, serve the poor and love those who are cast out, imprisoned or powerless. That is hard to do under any circumstances, but especially for someone who is sitting at home on their couch and is only interested in the rights of people who agree with them and think as they do.

It should be obvious that Jesus Christ did not live a safe life, a protected life or a comfortable life. Promises of protection and safety would have taken him off course just as Trump's temptations have taken the evangelical leadership away from what should be their true mission.

The final temptation offered by the devil, and by Trump, is the most obvious. The devil offers Jesus power over the whole world, and all he has to do is kneel before Satan and submit to his authority. I feel that I barely have to write anything here — the truth of this is louder than anything I can put into words. People support politicians, most of the time, based what they perceive as their own self-interest. I am no different. My fight for the working class, and for the first-generation college students I have worked with and supported has been at the heart of my politics. I do not seek power as such, but I definitely want more and better opportunities for the population I love. The idea of gaining personal power and greater influence is a natural temptation but, again, that again could take me away from my true calling on the front lines of this work.

Power does corrupt, as it most certainly has in the case of evangelical support of Donald Trump. Pastor Robert Jeffress is hardly the only example, but no one embodies the corrupting force of that this temptation better than he does. That man loves the power of the White House and the power Trump has provided him. Jeffress will create whatever theological explanation he has to in his efforts to return Trump to the White House.

I often listen to Jeffress on the radio. He's a good speaker, about as good as it gets in the evangelical realm. He likes to tell a story how he managed to talk himself into the Oval Office when he was on a school trip to Washington as a teenager. It may be a more instructive parable than he realizes, because Jeffress has been doing everything he can to return to that office ever since. All he had to do, in fact, was to submit to the authority of Donald Trump. This temptation, the corrupting force of power, can prevent a person of faith from supporting those people they are claiming to help. Once these ministers have tasted that kind of power, it is like an addiction. Nothing else can satisfy them.

My recent employment has been as a hospice chaplain, ministering to dying people and their families. It's a job that stays with you on a very deep level. Every day, I am faced with families who are trying to say goodbye to a loved one, and with people who are trying to say goodbye to life. This is not always a peaceful transition, no matter what many of us would like to believe. There is sometimes great anxiety, loss of control and anger.

What I have learned is a great but simple truth: Death comes for all of us, regardless. People of faith, successful people, people who have failed, people who believe they have done everything right and people who have done almost everything wrong. Their lives before the final stage hardly matter, and those final days are often difficult and sad. The comforts of this world have left them. Power, safety and money are all gone, and revealed as empty pursuits in the end. Those things — the temptations of Trump and the devil — only tend to keep a person from their true path, distorting their relationships, their careers, their family life, their art or their writing, their politics and their faith.

I have reached the inescapable conclusion that the teachings of Christ and the teachings of the evangelical church in America are going in opposite directions. The evangelical church is heading closer to the devil. It has submitted to Donald Trump and moved ever further away from a man who served the poor, healed the sick, loved his neighbors and taught his followers to do the same. Evangelical leaders have stopped listening to Christ. There is only one other alternative.

Trump Voters: Uneducated, Racist, Religious Bigots

Who are these Americans who vote for the criminal felon, liar, mysognynist, racist, adulterer, rapist, tax cheat, would-be Fascist autocrat and twice impeached Donald Trump?

Hillary Clinton summed it up well: They are the "deplorables" of America. Thanks to democracy, a large swath of the American population thrives on mediocrity and ignorance, on racism and xenophobia, on a vulgar culture of drunkenness and violence, and on bigoted religiosity.

 

Mediocrity, Ignorance and Inferiority Complexes:  

The bulk of the MAGA crowd have less than a high school diploma and are literally ignorant of their country and its place in the world. They often blame the media and the elites because they have an inferiority complex toward intellectuals and educated people (the stereotypical "nerd"). The nativist MAGA crowd knows it is inferior. It knows it has fallen behind by believing that the world in the 21st century can still be dealt with like the pilgrims and pioneers of the 16th century: A cabin in the woods, a gun, and no government.

 

Still, the media too are to blame for catering to this mostly rural segment of poorly educated American society with hypermagnified self-ingratiating myths of superiority, manifest destiny of the "greatest nation on earth and in history". The fact, however, is that it is immigrants, and not those native backwoods peasants who hate immigrants, that make America great with its science, technology, military prowess and entrepreneurship. It was the wealthy elites that produced the founding fathers, not the peasants who served as mere cannon fodder for the wars fought by the elites (independence, secession, civil war etc.)

 

As both the demographics of the United States have changed, and as the world is rejecting power monopolies, the MAGA crowd are nostalgic of a time that is no longer. And in their ignorance, they refuse to adapt and adjust. That is the essence of conservatism. John Stuart Mill once said, “Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives". Instead of accepting that change is inexorable, they dig their heels, reject evolution, cling to religion, and think that a moron like Trump can take them back to an America of apple pie, baseball, hot dogs, Sunday church and Chevrolet. The MAGA phenomenon is probably the last breath of this vanishing pool of imbeciles. Problem is they still make up half of America, and the Electoral College scam keeps them afloat. 

 

Xenophobia and Racism: 

Ignorance is generally the crucible of racism. Racists are ignorant people who do not understand difference. Just as any new idea that is different from their own ideas is suspicious, anyone that seems different (skin color, clothing, accent, etc.) scares the hell out of them and drives them to be hateful. Before the Internet and television, many people in rural America had never seen the ocean or seen a dark-skinned person. To them, a black or dark-skinned person was such a shocking revelation that they attributed to them at best a lesser human nature and worse an evil nature. To this day, the ignorance of rural America (that refuses to study genetics and biology, and prefers the barbaric bible as a source of knowledge) still makes its residents vicious racists who can't seem to accept a black or dark-skinned person as their equal. 

 

These are the bulk of the MAGA Trump voters and the bedrock of southern racism, the KKK, and segregation. They hate everyone that does not look, pray, or sound like them (Blacks, Mexicans, Jews, Catholics, Asians, etc.), and they love those who look like them (in fact their ancestors the English, Germans, Scandinavians, etc.). That is why they are anti-immigration. They don't want more of the "others" in this country, as if this country first belonged to them to begin with, and ignoring the fact that it was immigrants who built this country and gave ot its greatness.

Credulity, Religion, and Outlier Beliefs

Again, ignorance does not give a person sufficient latitude to make rational judgments on events surrounding them. Every living being has a specialization that allows it to survive in its ecosystem. Two living beings with identical specializations end up competing with one of them ultimately disappearing. For us humans, our specialization is our brain. We don't have wings, claws, poisonous glands, etc... We are very average when it comes to our physical capabilities, we don't run fast, swim fast, fly high.... But our brain - intelligence - allows us to magnify our physical attributes with tools, instruments, machines, etc. Problem is our brain wants answers to all questions raised by the environment. When we have facts to explain something, our brain is satisfied with the answer. But we do not have facts to explain something, our brain invents an answer, credible or not. This is where religions and weird beliefs come from in human societies. The more verified proven facts we have, the less we rely on "magical" religious explanations, and the less facts we have the more we rely on religion and weird beliefs.

Now where do verified facts come from? They come from the opposite of ignorance. Donald Trump is certainly the master of ignorance, which he doubles with a Mafioso criminal mind. But of all MAGA idiots out there besides the boss, one person stands out and embodies ignorance to the hilt, and her name is Marjorie Taylor Greene. 

I have pity for these people as much as I hate them. They are a living tragedy.

Machismo, Big Balls, and Brawn (no brain).

Being the ignoramuses described above, Trump voters think like Hollywood fictional characters: They look for heroes, superheroes, charismatic terminators who can take the enemy down with one blow. The "Strongman" disorder that is not the sole purview of American barbarians, since many autocratic dictatorisl countries have their "strongmen" in power. The difference, though, is that in backward countries like China, Russia, Myanmar, Egypt, Israel, Saudi Arabia, etc... these strongmen ascended to power by force, by coercion, by cheating in elections.... and against the will of their people.

Unfortunately for the US, the ignorant dumb and ugly rural Americans are electing such a tyrant to power. They crave his authoritarianism. They adulate his "masculine bravado". They want the superhero. The savior. The mediocrity of Hollywood has confused reality and fiction in their minds, and they genuinely believe that a strong bullshitter like Donald Trump is the savior who will save America from progress. He will stop progress and take us back in time. Note that the "Make American Great Again" implies a return to the some lost paradise past. "Again" is a throwback to a time in the past. Just as in any Hollywoodian fictional narrative, the superhero will erase the evil and take us back to the previous period. But this is fiction, pure and simple. Donald Trump can never take America back to the heyday of the 1800s, or even that of the 1950s. If his herd of ignoramuses do actually bring him to power, they are in for a big disappointment.

Trump's Racist and Crude Insults at Madison Square Garden Event

Puerto Rico is a "floating island of garbage".

Kamala Harris is "the devil". 

Kamala Harris began her career as a prostitute.

Harris is “the Antichrist”. 

Harris and her pimp handlers will destroy our country.

Harris is “lazy,” a racist trope used against Black people.

“The migrant invasion of our country ends”.

Both Trump and his illegal-migrant friend Elon Musk have been discussing the US elections with their friend, Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The buffoon Hulk Hogan appeared on stage wearing a giant red, orange and yellow boa and violently waving a large American flag. He spat on the stage during his speech, flexed his muscles repeatedly and told the audience: “Trump is the only man that can fix this country today.”

Convicted felon Trump has denounced his political rivals as “enemies from within”.

New York City has indicted Trump last year on 34 felony counts of cheating and falsifying his business records to evade taxes.

 

Want Better Proof of Zionist Conspiracy? Israel's Freewheeling Crimes Against Humanity

UN: Darkest Moment is Unfolding in Palestinian Gaza 

Israel's Objective: Ethnic cleansing. By terrorizing and starving the Palestinian population, and denying it every basic human need, including medical care, it aims to push the Palestinians to "voluntarily" leave, then claim that the Palestinians left of their own will. Zionists did it in the Nakba of 1948: Massacres, rapes, burning of crops, demolition of homes, etc. forced hundreds of thousands of Palestinians out of their ancestral lands to make way for the foreign Zionist colonizing settlers to move in. Six hundred indigenous Palestinian villages were erased from the maps or given Jewish names. There are mass graves everywhere underneath parking lots and buildings in and around Israeli settlements. Zionist propaganda still says that the Palestinians left their villages and towns "of their own will". Yet, the Zionists refuse to allow them back in compliance with every UN resolution since, including the one that created the artificial state of Israel.

Israeli forces have breached a hospital compound in northern Gaza as the United Nations warned the war’s “darkest moment” was unfolding in the north of the Strip.

After days of laying siege to the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya, the Israeli military twice entered the hospital compound over the past 24 hours and opened fire at parts of the complex, the Gaza health ministry and the hospital director told CNN.

The facility is running low on supplies and is in desperate need of aid as injured people from neighboring areas pour in following Israel’s renewed offensive in northern areas, according to health authorities.

“One of the darkest moments of the Gaza conflict is unfolding in the north of the Strip,” the UN’s human rights chief Volker Turk said Friday.

“The Israeli military is effectively subjecting an entire population to bombing, siege and risk of starvation, as well as being forced to choose between mass displacement and being trapped in an active conflict zone,” he added, warning that Israel’s actions amount to crimes against humanity.

Gaza’s health ministry said Saturday that Israeli troops have detained all male medical staff at the hospital “while confining women in one of the hospital rooms without water or food.”

World Health Organization (WHO) chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Friday that since the raid on Kamal Adwan hospital, WHO has “lost touch with the personnel there.”

“This development is deeply disturbing given the number of patients being served and people sheltering there,” Ghebreyesus said on X. Prior to Friday’s raid, he said, WHO and its partners managed to reach Kamal Adwan “amid hostilities in the vicinity, and transferred 23 patients and 26 caregivers to Al-Shifa Hospital.”

Ghebreyesus said later Saturday that Israel’s raid on the hospital was over, but came “at a heavy cost.” After 44 male staff members were detained, the hospital’s female staff, the hospital director and one other male doctor were left to care for “nearly 200 patients in desperate need of medical attention,” said Ghebreyesus.

Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, the hospital director, said in a video that Israeli tanks and bulldozers entered the hospital compound late Thursday and began firing at parts of the complex, adding that “all departments of the hospital are under direct shelling.”

“Instead of receiving aid, we are receiving tanks,” he said.

After an hours-long communications blackout and “intense bombardment,” Safiya told CNN late Friday that Israeli troops were still present in the hospital.

“We all gathered in one place, and then the army called for me. When I went down, they put me inside a tank and began interrogating me about my statements and contact with the media,” Abu Safiya recounted. [The Israeli terrorist settlers were not looking for Palestinian "terrorists"; they wanted to silence the truth].

He said the Israeli military were “searching all the rooms, evacuating the displaced people and removing 44 staff members” as he spoke. “The situation is extremely tragic and terrifying, and the bombing is continuous,” Abu Safiya said.

Kamal Adwan is one of three minimally operational hospitals in northern Gaza, and the closest to Israeli military activity in Beit Lahiya and the Jabalya Refugee Camp. Despite its limited capacity, it has been receiving most of the injured from the surrounding fighting.

The Israeli military claims that its forces are operating in the area of the Kamal Adwan Hospital based on lies about "intelligence information regarding the presence of terrorists and terrorist infrastructure”.

COGAT, the Israeli agency that manages the flow of aid into the strip, said on Friday that with the help of UNICEF and WHO, several patients and their escorts were evacuated from the facility. The hospital was also given fuel, blood units and medical equipment.

Maher Shamiya, an official with the Gaza health ministry, told CNN Friday that the Israeli military had demolished parts of the hospital’s wall. The oxygen station had also been damaged by Israeli fire, he said.

Shamiya said that the military had entered the hospital yard for a second time on Friday morning and had begun separating men from women.

“After that, it became impossible to communicate with anyone.”

In his video message, Safiya said he was “shocked by the entry of bulldozers and tanks into the hospital compound,” adding that tanks began firing at the upper floors, shattering windows and “creating an atmosphere of panic, terror, and fear.”

“Everyone in the hospital gathered in the stairwell; it was a very distressing scene,” he said.

One video showed Abu Safiya speaking from within the Intensive Care Unit, where patients and medical staff were huddled. He said that some severely injured people were dying. Abu Safiya said that a number of properties around the hospital had been set on fire.

Later Thursday night, a convoy of supplies from the World Health Organization reached the hospital, he said. Video showed a fuel tanker and other vehicles close to the facility.

Abu Safiya said the convoy delivered enough fuel for five days, as well as 200 units of blood and a few other supplies, but no food or water.

He said he had been in touch with Israeli officers. “I explained the situation of the patients and the injured people in the hospital, emphasizing that their condition was extremely critical and that evacuation was necessary.”

Abu Safiya also said that there was a large number of injured people in the Jabalya area of northern Gaza, which has been subjected to intense Israeli military operations in recent days. “We have no medical assistance that can reach them, and I do not have the means to help them even if they were able to reach us. We have nothing to offer them.”

It has been 21 days since Israel ramped up its military operation in northern Gaza. Authorities say the military has stopped aid from reaching parts of the area and displaced many of its residents.

BDS Makes Progress, Driven by Fear of Entanglement in Humanitarian Law Violations

Thiel's Palantir dumped by Norwegian investor over work for Israel

LONDON/OSLO (Reuters) - One of the Nordic region's largest investors has sold its holdings in Palantir Technologies because of concerns that the U.S. data firm's work for Israel might put the asset manager at risk of violating international humanitarian law and human rights.

Storebrand Asset Management disclosed this week that it had "excluded Palantir Technologies Inc. from our investments due (to) its sales of products and services to Israel for use in occupied Palestinian territories."

The investor, which manages about 1 trillion crowns ($91.53 billion) in assets, held around 262 million crowns ($24 million) in Palantir, a spokesperson told Reuters.

A representative for Palantir, based in Denver, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Storebrand said Palantir had not replied to any of its requests for information, first lodged in April.

The data analytics firm, co-founded by billionaire Peter Thiel, provides militaries with artificial-intelligence models.

Earlier this year, it agreed to a strategic partnership to supply technology to Israel to assist in the ongoing war in Gaza.

Palantir has previously defended its work for Israel. CEO Alex Karp said he was proud to have worked with the country following the Hamas attacks in October last year and in March told CNBC that Palantir had lost employees and that he expected to lose more over his public support for Israel.

Storebrand's exit follows a recommendation from Norway's government in March warning businesses about engaging in economic or financial activity in the Israeli settlements in the Palestinian territories, the asset manager said in its third-quarter investment review published on Wednesday.

The International Court of Justice, the United Nations' highest court, said in July that Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories including the settlements was illegal.

Israel's foreign ministry rejected that opinion as "fundamentally wrong" and one-sided, and repeated its stance that a political settlement in the region can be reached only by negotiations.

Storebrand said its analysis indicated that Palantir provides products and services "including AI-based predictive policing systems" that support Israeli surveillance of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza.

Palantir's systems are supposed "to identify individuals who are likely to launch 'lone wolf terrorist' attacks, facilitating their arrests preemptively before the strikes that it is projected they would carry out," Storebrand said.

It added that, according to the United Nations, Israeli authorities have a history of incarcerating Palestinians without charge or trial.

A U.N. Special Rapporteur said in a 2023 report that "the occupied Palestinian territory had been transformed as a whole into a constantly surveilled open-air prison."

Israel rejected the U.N.'s findings.

In September Reuters reported that Norway's $1.7 trillion wealth fund may have to divest shares of companies that violate the fund watchdog's tougher interpretation of ethics standards for businesses that aid Israel's operations in the occupied Palestinian territories.

What is the Difference between Netanyahu and Sinwar?

 In their typical propaganda machinery, supporters of colonial Zionist terrorists are claiming that Qatar’s Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, the mother of Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani,  praised the dead Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar by saying that his name - Yayha - يحيا - in Arabic means "The one who lives". 

Besides the linguistic interest, supporters of Zionist colonial terror are actually quite biased in ignoring that Israel's "state terrorism", ever since the first ethnic cleansing of 1948 and still currently in practice across Palestine, is simply terrorism on a much bigger scale than anything Hamas did on october 7. 

The Zionist propagandists want you to ignore that what they always conveniently labeled as Palestinian terrorism - from its secular nationalism of the late 1960s to its present cloack of Islamic nationalism, including those "terrrorists" like Yasser Arafat and many others with whom Israel signed peace treaties it later violated - is fundamentally acts of resistance against a foreign settler invader and criminal ethnic cleanser of native indigenous people. Did anyone reproach the Algerian resistance of the 1950s and 1960s against the French colonial occupier for their use of Islam as a rallying ideology? The leaders of the Algerian resistance and their political descendants are after all those who run the country today and receive respect and recognition from the entire world community. 

Then, even if I reduce Palestinian resistance to terrorism just to abide by the Zionist Big Brother dictate, isn't the enemy of Palestine, Israel itself, founded on barbaric religious arguments from the Bronze Age, just like Iran and its affiliates like Hamas and Hezbollah? Isn't the present Israeli government made up of ultra-religious torah-thumping terrorists not unlike those of Koran-thumping Hamas terrorists, with the difference that Israel terrorizes innocent civilian populations with sophisticated technology, killing people from a distance, while Hamas terrorists kill people up close, face to face, with knives and rocks? Does the magnificence of a killing tool really mark the distinction between what is terrorism and what is not?

I am supposed to be shocked by the comments of the mother of the Qatari emir. But shouldn't I be equally shocked that a designated war criminal - a fancy title for a terrorist - like Benyamin Netanyahu and his coterie of radical ultra-religious barbarian ministers with weird eatsern european names like Ben-Gvir and Smotrich, are allowed to address the United Nations like some respectable leaders of a decent country? Israel, let us not forget, is an artificial Jewish colony implanted in a land not its own by the western perpetrators of the Holocaust trying to atone for their own crimes against Jews by dumping their remaining Jews on the Palestinian owners of the land.

Netanyahu is a terrorist, just like Sinwar, because they both kill innocent civilians and terrorize entire populations, in the name of their respective barbaric religions from the Bronze Age of humanity. But Palestinians have the intellectual advantage of being the victims of a foreign invading colonial settlers who never owned the land, except according to a bullshit religious text written some 2800 years ago and endlessly edited over the centuries to create self-promoting fiction. You'd have to be an idiot to believe the garbage of the torah-bible, but you have to be a criminal idiot to use its text to justify atrocities and ethnic cleansing, and as some sort of property deed to a land you have no right to. 

Enough Islamic terrorism. Enough Jewish terrorism. Enough.

 

US-born White Evangelical Arkansas Pastor: 100 Counts of Child Sex Abuse

To the delight of his herd of stupid faithful, in the backward American state of Arkansas, sex preda-pas-tor James Vincent Henry was arrested on charges related to child sex abuse. God bless their soul, those evangelicals miscreants claim to know God's thoughts while slipping their hands into children's underwear. I think thus is exactly what Martin Luther had in mind when he launched the Protestant Reformation: Rid the church of sexually-repressed chaste Catholic priests and replace them with sexual predators albeit-married Protestant pastors.

The white fatso you see in the picture below is a man of the christian God, a so-called pastor with a herd of imbeciles whom he bilks out of their money. Didn't the christian God say, through his radical extremist Jewish supremacist son Jesus, "let the little children come to me"? Let me emphasize that Jesus insisted on the qualifier "little" because pastor Henry apparently was following Jesus's teachings by preferring them "little". I bet you this US-born white aryan protestant monster hates everyone else: Catholics, Black people, gays and Jews, and is a Trump voter.

But Trump keeps reminding us that immigrants are rapists, criminals and gang members. Hence the confusion. If primitive backward states like Arkansas, that used to elevate slavery to the level of a divine-mandated institution, produces white criminal pigs like Pastor Henry, born and bred in the American heartland, can Trump be wrong?


Arkansas pastor charged with 100 counts of crimes related to child sexual abuse material

Pastor Henry lives, worships and leads his herd in the town of "Delight" in Arkansas. What a joyful coincidence that pastor Henry found his personal "delights" in abusing little children. His Southern boutique church is called the Crossroads Assembly of God Church. In jail, he'll have plenty of time to consider the crossroads he missed in his twisted life as a bigoted man of God who liked little children.

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children tipped off local police on Sept. 25, 2024 based on messages on Snapchat and Kik were collected after agents executed a warrant. Henry was arrested on Oct. 15 and charged with 100 counts of possession, viewing, and distribution of child sexual abuse material, the release states.

On the web site of the Crossroads Assembly of God Church, Henry is said to have once served as the youth pastor at some other church in the state of Arkansas - hence surrounded by children- and that he and his wife were foster parents to 76 children in four years at New Beginnings Children’s Home outside Centerton - again surrounded by children. He very diligently abided by the teachings of Jewish son of God, Jesus, to "let the little children come to me".

 

Macron Breaks a Taboo: Israel was Created [out of nothing] by the UN

Sometimes, when your enemies spar amongst themselves, they let out truths that they've so far held secret. 

Everyone knows that, in 1947, Israel was artificially created over the ashes of historic Palestine by a heavily-biased newly-born United Nations composed at the time of the 50-or-so guilt-laden former Fascist and colonial western countries that had perpetrated the Holocaust. 

Though the English crooks had since 1918 a mandate over Palestine granted by the precursor of the UN, the so-called League of Nations, they sold Palestine to wealthy European Zionist bankers and allowed hundreds of thousands of European Jews to illegally enter Palestine and massacre and ethnically cleanse the indigenous Palestinian population. The accomplices in the crime, namely the western countries that owned the infant UN, declared this European Jewish colony an independent state called Israel. 

For proof of the colonial artificiality of Israel, just look at its "map": It is a long sinewy stretch of land that basically follows the coastline of Palestine from north to south where the millions of illegal European Jewish invaders first landed "fresh off the boats" between the 1920s and 1940s. Otherwise, most of the land of Israel is taken by the Galilee in the north which remains a mostly Palestinian territory where the so-called "Israeli Palestinians" live, and by the Naqab desert in the south where Arab Bedouins dominate. "Jewish" Israel has no center and no internal geographic coherence. It has only settlements (recently established), while Palestine has villages (ancient millennial dwellings). 

The center of the land is still in the Palestinian interior of the West Bank, where many Palestinian refugees and escapees from the 1947-1948 Zionist carnage along the coast fled for shelter as the Jewish terrorist organizations Irgun, Lehi, Haganah, etc. bombed, raped, killed and rampaged with the unique purpose of expelling the native indigenous Palestinians from their lands, villages and homes. 

Which explains why the Zionists continue to wage war and establish colonies in a desperate attempt to annex the West Bank and Gaza. That was part of their original plan back from 1948 of taking all of Palestine, from the River to the Sea. If you look at the boundaries between Palestine and Israel as they stand today, the only significant part of the Palestinian heartland that the Zionists have managed to steal is Jerusalem: The city is at the tip of an arrow-like thrust from the West by the invading Jewish settler hordes as they try to pierce through the heart of ancestral Palestine. This alone points to the colonial and artificial nature of the Jewish colony in Palestine.

As they felt guilt and remorse at having contibuted to the crime of creating this monster in a region where it does not belong, those same western monopolizers of the UN created an agency specifically tasked with caring for the millions of Palestinian refugees that were expelled from their lands, villages and towns. This agency is called UNRWA, and Israel is doing everything it can to destroy UNRWA and deprive the Palestinian refugees of any assistance. If UNRWA ceases to exist, then the Palestinians refugees no longer exist, and the claim of an independent Palestine dies, which is exactly what Israel wants: The millions of Palestinian refugees would vanish out of existence.

Israel is artificial because the last time there was an "Israel" in Palestine was ~800 BC, some 2,800 years ago. That "Israel" was divided into two enemy kingdoms (Judah and Israel), and they lasted a mere 200 years. Second, those "Jews" who claimed to want to turn the clock back 2,800 years are by no means genetic descendants of the original Hebrews of 800 BC. Hard as they tried, Israeli scientists have failed to find any genetic link (DNA analyses of all kinds) between modern-day Israelis and the Semitic Hebrews of the Bronze Age. In fact, many studies show that today's Palestinians are the descendants of those Hebrews from Jesus's time, who never left Palestine after the Romans destroyed the temple in 70 AD, and who were then forced to convert to Christianity by the Roman Empire (mid-4th century), then to Islam by the conquering Arabs (8th century). 

Today's Israeli "Jews" are of Eastern European descent: They came from a population - the Khazars - in the Eurasian Caucasian region (southeastern section of modern European Russia, southern Ukraine, Crimea and Kazakhstan) who began converting to Judaism around the year 740 AD  and well into the upper Middle Ages. In the ensuing centuries they migrated westward to form the European Jews known as the Ashkenazis, Israel's largest community of settler Jews.

Just look at the average Israeli Jew, especially the extremist ultra-religious barbarian Haredim who form the essential base of the Zionists, and they have blond-red hair, blue eyes, wear traditional Russian fur hats and other eastern european clothing (long coats) that clearly have nothing to do with near-eastern Palestine whose culture is fundamentally a Mediterranean one. Just because these Europeans converted to Judaism does not entitle them to the land of Palestine that the unrelated Hebrews ruled 2800 years ago. If one takes their argument and applies it to other religions, then all African or Latin American Catholics (recently converted by colonial Europe) would have a right to the lands of Catholic Europe, say Italy and the Vatican. It is an absurd argument.

So when French President Emmanuel Macron, whose country was a collaborationist country with Nazi Germany during WWII, warns Netanyahu that "he must not forget that Israel was created by the UN", he let out a dirty secret that no one has so far dared divulge in public. The French, like most European and western countries, hate Jews - anti-semitism is a Northern-Western hemisphere (European Christian) creation that never existed in the Eastern (Asia) and Southern (Africa) hemisphere where Jews coexisted in peace for millennia with other peoples including Muslims and Arabs. Jews thrived under Muslim Spain. They thrived in every Arab capital, until the Zionists showed up (e.g. the Jewish Agency) and bribed and threatened them to leave and settle in the new state of Israel for the sole objective of artificially increasing the numbers of Jews at the expense of the Palestinians. 

I personally know three Lebanese Jewish families from my childhood's neighborhood who tearfully came to tell us they were leaving for the simple reason that they were "told" to leave and were bribed with huge sums of money and other enticements. No one chased them. No one persecuted them, except the Zionists who harassed them and forced them under threats of harm to their businesses to leave countries and cities they and their ancestors had lived in for centuries. I recommend reading the newspaper "Alliance Israelite" [available at the Harvard University library] which Lebanese Jews published in the years preceding the creation of Israel and you'll find that it was a thriving community that shared representation with other minorities in the Lebanese parliament and had schools, synagogues and other social institutions across the country.

After murdering half of them in the Holocaust, the Europeans created Israel to get rid of their remaining Jews by dumping them in Palestine. So now it is easy for westerners to pretend to love the Jews as long as they stay away from Europe. Otherwise, since westerners are such human rights lovers whose populations are declining because of low birth rates, and who need migrants, why wouldn't they invite the highly sophisticated Jews of Israel, Europeans by birth, back to their countries of origin in Europe and, in recent decades, North America?

Unlike coward Biden, Macron is essentially reminding the war criminal settler Netanyahu that we, the Europeans who dominated the UN in 1947, made out an artificial colony, Israel, especially for you, European Jews. We helped you ethnically cleanse Palestine, but now you are going too far. Time for some tough love. Given the recalcitrance of the native indigenous Palestinians at disappearing gently into the night of oblivion, the fake Western friends of Israel are taking stock of the disaster they have caused with the uncontrollable monster they have created. So they are left arguing publicly with the Israelis like husband and wife and divulging their dirty secrets. And this is what French Macron has done by reminding his spoiled Israeli brat that 'I made you, and I can unmake you' if you continue with your crimes.

Macron warned Israel's war criminal Netanyahu not to "ignore United Nations decisions" during a weekly meeting with his ministers Tuesday. "Mr. Netanyahu must not forget that his country was created by a U.N. decision," he said, referencing the U.N. General Assembly's November 1947 vote that terminated the British mandate of Palestine and split the land into a Jewish and an Arab state.

The French president also recently called for a halt to arms deliveries to Israel in an interview with French radio, which triggered an angry response from the Israeli war criminal who declared "shame" on the French president. On Monday, France's Armed Forces Minister Sébastien Lecornu echoed these warnings from France, telling a journalist that it was a "problem" that Israel does not respect U.N. resolutions.

"It was a U.N. resolution that created Israel, one of the first," he said on French television. Which means that of all UN resolutions passed on the Palestine question, Israel has implemented only one - the resolution that created it in 1947 - and ignored or violated all other subsequent resolutions demanding it to abide by international law, return stolen land, cease its warmongering and put an end to its massacres and ethnic cleansing of the indigenous Palestinian population.

Trump's Term as President was Much Worse than Biden's

When confronted with the lies, cheating, crookedness, criminality and vulgarity of Donald Trump, his supporters will say, "but he was a good president", or "we were much better off during the Trump years".

But this one BIG LIE that Trump has been selling to the American people because he has no arguments to make in his favor other than inanities and racism and populism. Here is a list of why the economy was much worse under Trump.

==================================================



You really think Donald Trump was a good president? Look at his record | Opinion
Andres Oppenheimer
Updated Fri, October 11, 2024


Here’s the biggest myth that Republican candidate Donald Trump is trying to sell to Americans and to the world: that he was a good president.

Trump’s continuously repeated falsehoods about his record as president have convinced many people who find him to be a horrible person, but nevertheless support him because of what Trump says about his term in office.

“Yes, I know, he’s 78, he’s not as sharp as he used to be, he lies all the time, he has cheated on his wives, he makes racist comments, he is a convicted felon, and he tried to carry out a coup after he lost the last elections. But he was a good president,” a Republican friend told me recently.

Let me share with you some facts to help fight political amnesia. In fact, Trump was one of the worst presidents in recent history. Here are the facts:

A larger deficit

On the economy, Trump left the biggest deficit in U.S. history.

Under Trump, the national debt grew much faster than during his successor Joe Biden's term. Like most populists, Trump cut taxes and spent as if there were no tomorrow, leaving a national debt that will have to be paid by our children and grandchildren for decades.

The national debt rose by almost $7.8 trillion to $28 trillion during Trump’s four years in office, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The debt has kept growing since, but at a significantly slower pace.

As for the country’s economic growth, the U.S. economy under Trump grew by an overall 6.8%. By comparison, it grew by 8.4% in the Biden years.

On the jobs’ front, Trump left office with 3 million fewer jobs than there were when he entered the White House. Granted, that was largely because of the pandemic, but Biden has added nearly 16 million jobs since then.

Granted, inflation was lower under Trump than under Biden. The pandemic disrupted supply chains from China and made consumer prices soar in America in 2021 and 2022. But inflation has since fallen to 2.4%, close to its pre-pandemic levels.

A weakened democracy

On democracy, Trump undermined democratic institutions and the rule of law like no other American president in recent memory. He is the first U.S. president I can remember who tried to stage a coup d’etat to stay in power.

Trump falsely claims to this day that he won the 2020 election, even after more than 60 courts and the conservative-majority Supreme Court found his objections to be unsubstantiated.

Then, he tacitly tried to incite rebellion on Jan. 6, 2021, when he waited for hours before trying to stop a pro-Trump mob from invading the U.S. Capitol in hopes of overturning the election result. He continues to praise the violent rioters who injured more than 100 police officers, calling them “patriots” and government “hostages.”

Emboldening dictators

On foreign policy, Trump weakened America’s standing in the world by picking fights with the closest U.S. allies while at the same time embracing dictators such as Russia’s Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un.

Trump withdrew from the Paris Climate Accord and threatened to abandon the U.S.-European NATO military alliance. Trump’s threats to leave NATO significantly damaged the group’s unity and probably encouraged Putin to plan his 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

If you look at the world in terms of superpower-led blocs, Trump left power in 2020 with a weaker Western alliance and a stronger China and Russia.
 

Reproductive rights

On abortion, Trump appointed three conservative Supreme Court judges who played a crucial role in overturning Roe v. Wade, a ruling that had made abortions legal in the country for nearly 50 years. As a result, some states banned abortions, and some women reportedly died because they could not get proper medical care to end their pregnancies.
 

More hatred

On crime, hate crimes increased by 28% during Trump’s term and hate-motivated murders, mainly committed by white supremacists, reached their highest number in 28 years, according to FBI statistics.

Trump has exacerbated racial hatred in the country since he started his 2016 campaign falsely declaring that most Mexican undocumented immigrants are “rapists” and are “bringing crime” to America. In 2017, he said that there were “very fine people” among white supremacists and the anti-racism demonstrators who were protesting against them in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Trump’s racist statements have worsened since. He recently falsely claimed that Haitian immigrants are eating the pets of Americans in Springfield, Ohio. In an Oct. 7 radio interview, Trump said that unauthorized migrants who committed violent crimes have “bad genes,” a language reminiscent of Adolf Hitler’s efforts to dehumanize Jews.

Also, in 2020, the last year of the Trump presidency, there was the biggest one-year increase in the number of murders since the 1960s, according the Politifact fact checking website. In addition to the pandemic and the George Floyd riots, Democrats attribute the 30% rise in murders to the relaxation of gun control laws under Trump.
 

False border promises

On immigration, Trump never completed the border fence nor got Mexico to pay for it, as he had promised in his 2016 campaign. Trump now claims to have built much of the current 654 miles of border wall, but most of it was already in place. It was mainly repaired or upgraded during his years in office, according to Customs and Border Protection data.

On the COVID-19 Pandemic, Trump scorned face masks and at one point asked Americans to inject themselves with disinfectant to fight the virus. Scientists say many of the 400,000 Covid deaths during his presidency could have been averted if he had exhorted people to get vaccinated.

The list of Trump administration failures goes on and on. So if you are planning to vote for Trump because of something specific he has promised, and you are willing to believe a compulsive liar, go ahead. But please don’t tell me he was a good president: he was a disaster on virtually all fronts.

Netanyahu: Failure or Intentional Criminality?

Egyptian Intelligence told Netanyahu that something was afoot several months prior to the October 7, 2023 attack. IDF soldiers themselves warned their own government of the Hamas attack as one soldier confided to NBC News' Richard Engel [See: https://www.yahoo.com/news/idf-soldier-says-she-warned-015420568.html].

For seven long hours into the cross-border Hamas attack, there was no Israeli response whatsoever. Strange for a hyper-militarized state that is always on alert and that brags about its superior intelligence and technological supremacy.

At the same time, the Saudis were about to conclude a normalization agreement with Israel that called, to the chagrin of Netanyahu and his ultra-religious neanderthals, for an independent Palestinian state.

Draw your own conclusions, after hearing Netanyhau beaming and smiling as he keeps repeating that his "retaliation" to the Hamas attack will be new maps of the region, changing the Middle East, etc.

Netanyahu's Jewish Daesh government is just like the Islamic Caliphate (ISIS, Daesh)'s plans for a Greater Islamic Umma ruled by barbarian Muslim radicals on the basis of a literal reading of the Koran. The barbarian Jewish ultra-religious radicals have a plan for a Greater Jewish Israel that will include the entire region from the Nile (Egypt) to the Euphrates (Iraq) based on a literal reading of the equally monstrous Torah bullshit of "God promised us the land".  Who could argue against such a compelling rational scientific reason?

In 1897, when Theodore Herzl decided to steal Palestine from its rightful owners with the help of the British colonial crooks, there were about 1,000 Jews in Jerusalem (and nowhere else in Palestine), some pilgrims, some refugees from the pogroms in Europe.

By 1947 when the European Jews raped Palestine and declared the independence of their foreign colony, there were in all of Palestine 600,000 foreign European settlers and 1.2 million native indigenous Palestinians (two-thirds of whom had been expelled into refugee camps).

The entire process of the creation of Israel is the deliberate and willed construction of a Jewish supremacist state at the expense of indigenous lands and populations. Do not be confused by the instantaneous events - who did what to whom and who started it. Just focus on the trajectory of the genesis of the Zionist idea behind the creation of Israel, the stages it went through, where it is today and where it is clearly going.

Netanyahu has been showing maps in his press conferences and at the UN where there no longer is a Palestine. Period. No west Bank, no Gaza, no Golan.... It's all Israel.

Therefore, in order to implement this gradual encroachment and land theft, Israel constantly needs pretexts to wage expansionist wars, i.e. a war in which it scores a victory thanks to dumb US military largesse, and from a position of the victor, it makes claims to land it did not occupy prior to the pretext and the war. Israel always initiates the violence or war on the inane pretext that it is the victim of its own victims. This is exactly what it did in 1948, in 1967 and every war since. And every time, it gains land. It also gains land by literally stealing Palestinian lands and building settlements. All of this is illegal, but it benefits from impunity because of its blackmail of the West with the guilt of the Holocaust.

As the normalization with Saudi Arabia was coming to a positive conclusion prior to October 7, 2023, Israel decided to wreck the process because it does not want an independent Palestine. Such a Palestine would be a setback to the Greater Israel project so dear to fanatic Jews. Israel never wanted an independent Palestine. Even if the Palestinians had agreed to the partition of 1947, which many blame them for not accepting, do you think the Zionist state would have let Palestine live in peace? Of course not. It would have fabricated pretexts, disseminated lies, and propagated disinformation anywhere it could, with which to wage war on an independent Palestine and destroy it. The process (how Zionists go about it) is less important than the destination (eliminating Palestine from existence).

After Gaza and the West Bank, which will soon be "cleansed" of their Palestinian populations; after the Golan Heights which the Assad regime in Syria doesn't really care about, being more preoccupied with reinforcing Assad's Alawite rule and future independence as a separate state in the stretch of Syrian territory along the Mediterranean; and now with the Lebanese south which Israel plans to annex, including the historic Phoenician cities of Tyre and Sidon. 

Israel is growing in size until the day when Yahweh, the fictional Bronze Age demagogue super hero, will finally send his fucking Messiah and torment the world with Armageddon and be done with all humans. Except of course the Chosen ones who have always been Yahweh's favorite pet people. Sounds like a Hollywood science fiction movie that Cecil B. DeMille missed making, but that is what the Torah/Bible really is.

Should I worry about climate change? Or about Israel's barbarity? Tough decision.
