It's been BS from day one, starting with how opposing a horrific genocide makes us anti-semitic. We can't fall for it.

Hi Db

Even though the term is being employed in current lexicon, I’m getting just a LITTLE BIT MOTHERFUCKING SICK of the term “antisemitic”. Someone please explain to me how the current nest of occupiers are actually Semitic. Meilekowsky anyone?

I on the other hand, am an actual true Semite, Palestinian w/ some Moorish tossed in.

If you’re antisemitic, that means you’ve got a bone to pick with the likes of me.

Why do Jews object to the term “anti-Jew”? Do they think that describing themselves as “Semites” makes them more relevant?

Meilekowsky-- Polish Ashkenazim -- as European, and far whiter -- than my Sicilian half which got genes from everyone who sailed the Mediterranean. I claim more Semitic blood than that guy too, dear gyp, just by virtue of who "stopped by" Sicily for a bit of "in vino veritas".

What is it with the British and Israel, Jenny. WWII guilt? Realization of some other intrinsic societal self-devaluation? I don't get it. They're like a step even beyond the US in facilitating these monstrosities.

That's telling them, girl. You have more right to call them antisemites than they have to call you one.

They have usurped everything everywhere they go, there's nothing authentic, not one mini iota of authenticity anywhere in Usrael, except that they are murderers of babies. A distinction no one else would want.

Yeppers! One does not ‘reason’ with political criminals. They are to be put on trial and made to answer for their deeds.

Ditto for enablers.

“The genocide in Gaza has not stopped because it’s lucrative. It’s profitable for far too many. It’s a business people have exploited . . . there are corporate entities — including from Palestine-friendly states who have for decades made businesses and profits out of the economy of the occupation”.

She is, indeed. Butler was an American general of the WWI era, ultimately an anti-imperialist, who came to his senses and is credited with the realization and anti-war book: "War is a Racket".

Their words are hollow and signify nothing but the echoes inside a moral vacuum.

We,the people, have the weight of history behind us and we are not going to relent in our pursuit of truth and justice.

As for the rest,they are busy fashioning the hand cart that they will all go to hell in.

All courtesy of economist James Buchanan, protegé of Charles Koch, so that the US would stop spending the national output on better infrastructure and taking care of their populace and instead divert it to making the very rich even richer. And for that Buchanan was awarded a Nobel prize.

Oh boy, another misled soul that thinks fiat currencies (instead of the system of CAPITALISM) is the problem. Guess what? Gold, digital currencies, etc. are not going to solve your problem either, and neither will the 'system of barter'.

If the value of the fiat currency is zero, which, it can only be … it fraudulent ! No excuses.

Dude - do you use fiat currency CURRENTLY to buy (and maybe sell) things and survive?

Keep on assigning 'whatever value you wish' to whatever 'methods of exchange of value you wish', it still doesn't change the FACTS that YOU yourself need 'fiat currency' to survive.

If the value of fiat currency is Zero, why do YOU accept it as methods of payment/income/reimbursement/etc. for yourself? Obviously it has value to you. If it didn't, you wouldn't be using it (unless you like 'value-less' tokens of exchange for whatever reason).

Seriously, what YOU think about 'the value of fiat currencies' is irrelevant. Why? Simple - because OTHERS (i.e. humans and systems) DO place value in it.

So you can yell from the 'top of your lungs' for the 'rest of your life' about how 'fiat currencies have no value', since it has value to other people, and no one is listening to your 'value system' just as not many people are listening to the 'lies of the Israelis and Zionists'.

Ok, if a fiat currency merchant offers you a loan, ask them to validate the value and they can’t.

They then proceed to practice usury on their loan. That holds no valid value. For them to receive payments on the usury is simple fraud. Doesn’t matter the percentage,it’s still thieving.

The only time fiat currency is valid is in exchange for direct labour, and the currency can be further exchanged for other goods.

>>"Ok, if a fiat currency merchant offers you a loan, ask them to validate the value and they can’t."

I don't need to ask them (or have a need to) for any such thing.

It's simple really. In our modern financial system, entries are made in digital ledgers (for ALL banks - central banks, private banks, public banks, mom-and-pop banks, bookies, sports-betting businesses, lending businesses, savings-and-loans banks, credit unions, etc.)

>>"The only time fiat currency is valid is in exchange for direct labour"

Again, that is YOUR definition. The world doesn't work according to YOUR definitions.

There is a difference between 'usury' and 'loans' and 'credit and debt systems'.

That you haven't figured this out yet may be why you are struggling with understanding financial systems and your 'inability to understand' that 'other people and institutions find value in systems and processes that you don't'.

The so called modern financial system is bullshit and lies that fiat currency thieves and scam merchants thrive. Just because it works for a minority does not validate it to be used for all. These scam merchants also destroy any competition via war and murder of those they consider a threat to their business. The finance of war is easy just print and tax. This criminal system also creates financial fictitious debts on the majority. It is a complete abomination that creates debt slaves.

You're mixing, confusing, and conflating different systems and 'different purposes of different systems' all into ONE 'grand theory' - which seems to have become YOUR narrative.

YOUR narrative (and YOUR beliefs) are not universal (or universally believed, accepted or acknowledged). You seem to enjoy creating YOUR definitions, YOUR interpretations, YOUR whatever so that you can build (and believe) YOUR narratives.

It really is THAT simple!

There is nothing wrong with a fiat currency system that is accountable, but contemporary finance isn’t accountable. The biggest growth industry is the arms industry, because the finance costs nothing to those that sell. The liability of cost of purchasing is the tax payers. I call it tax fraud, because the wealth of the sale goes to the scam merchants and bankers.

Thank you as always for being so clear. You basically set up the framework of my thoughts about the war crimes they are committing. Are, not have. As people are distracted by other attacks, false flags, they keep committing crimes.
