I have learned to my horror that many people refuse to admit they are wrong no matter the consequences to others. I find these people profoundly repellent.
I don't think that people who do horrible things to other people really understand themselves or the other people. I think they are sick and need help or confinement of some sort if they cannot be stopped. The people who commit these acts are repellent, but the people who allow them to commit the acts are equally repellent.
I think that your first two sentences can be an apt description of most soldiers who close their eyes and minds to the dirty work that they do in the name of patriotism and Jesus and the glorious empire. In this context, I think that empires will always have their Israels, and the powerful will always find willing soldiers if the price is right.
What the white man has normalized and paraded as virtue and peace keeping is a comforting mythology so the self loathing masses can feel justified in hating their designated enemies. The hate is the ether that pervades the planet, and makes peace illusory.
Zionism and the hatred that it always engenders is the creed that must be recognized as the enemy of fairness and equality, and the precursor to perpetual wars and violence.
Many people are wounded, many are damaged and some are mentally ill. When you get a society, culture and State which is severely mentally ill and contained in a cult environment, you get the most depraved human behaviour. Israelis cannot be reasoned with, they must be stopped and their State totally dismantled.
>>"I have learned to my horror that many people refuse to admit they are wrong no matter the consequences to others."
Good on you for learning that. Maybe you might also stumble upon the realization that 'this has always been so' for ALMOST as long as human history has existed.
Is there a SOLUTION to such fundamental flaws of human existence? If not, are we (as a species) doomed (in the long run or maybe even the short)?
With cowards like that it usually just takes a couple of good solid hits to the face and they will agree to anything. Its time to start dishing those out.
I was talking about the followers wearing hats or dying their hair, spewing nonsense constantly and refusing to see any form of truth. For the record I am on neither side of the uniparty and want it gone. As for Israel, we need massive change here in the US and purging all zionist influence before we can deal with those nukes. That will take years of careful dissecting to get control of. Cant do it while zionism is infecting the west.
>>"I was talking about the followers wearing hats or dying their hair, spewing nonsense constantly and refusing to see any form of truth."
Fair enough.
>>"...we need massive change here in the US and purging all zionist influence..."
This is where I see limited foresight in the thinking/understanding of most people - that they think that the U.S. can actually/realistically be PURGED of Zionist influence. We still have an incredible amount of Nazi influence (white supremacy, etc.) that may have gone underground for a period of time but doesn't seem to have receeded any (and in fact may be on the rise).
More that such Zionist/Nazi/etc. influences, the root cause behind such 'fascist ideologies' goes deeper into the American psyche. Hence, even if in some hypothetical reality one were able to eradicate Zionism from the U.S., it is likely that it would be replaced by some other 'such ideologies'. Please don't misinterpret my comment to mean anything along the lines of 'eradicating Zionism in the West should not be attempted' - as that is still a worthwhile cause - though I doubt that that will provide 'a workable solution' to the issues the U.S. is plagued with.
How can zionism be purged from America when a politician in the highest position in American politics stood up and proclaimed himself to be a Christian zionist? There should be no such animal, especially not one in a high positions in politics to feel it is okay to declare himself such a one while, at the same time, ensuring a zionist state is given all kinds of bombs it wants to kill the people they are obliged, by law, to protect and care for, with these same bombs.
And then, worst of all the the other politicians say, okay, fine, go for it, and allow the most repulsive person currently on this planet to arrive, a convicted criminal in Israel and wanted by the ICC, to saunter into the US house full of politicians and gets standing ovations for talking pure unadulterated shite.
There is always a power vacuum, but you can plan for it if you are ruthless enough, and I am. You can use a power vacuum to draw out the next group, then the following groups think twice and go back underground like you mentioned.
I agree about the ingrained fascism and ignorance in the US populace, it makes all the ideas and planning exercises in one's mind, fall back to the same question continuously, Are these fools even worth the fight it would take to liberate or even educate them?
i agree with mr chokaski that eradicating zionism will not solve the problem of american fascism (nazism), or ‘americanism’ (deeper in the american psyche) if you will. nevertheless i also agree this is still a commendable undertaking (keeping in mind the ‘americanism’ this would probably result in the eradication of all jews – it’s just in their nature, being the arch-fascists).
At the opening of this video, Mandy Patinkin expresses what is going to happen to Jews because of Netanyahu. He hopes Israel continues to exist. I do not think it can be reformed.
Which then dovetails into my post about the involvement of the Jewish Mob in supporting of Israel and how that undermines Democracy in the USA.
The evil we see in Israel right now is being committed every single day all around the world. The fountainhead for this evil is not Israel, but the USA.
Real antisemitism is already on the rise because of what Netanyahu is doing. I think the USA is equally responsible, but I don't think they are more responsible. Only greedy, uncaring, sick, twisted people like Netanyahu and his cronies could do what they are doing to the Palestinian people. And only greedy, uncaring sick twisted people like Trump could support someone like Netanyahu. I wish the dynamics that create this twisted thinking could be figured out so that we could medicate them, imprison them, do whatever it takes to stop them.
You severely limit those responsible for the quest for American hegemony by blaming only Netanyahu and Trump. I find the most evil are actually Americans.
A very short list of examples:
Meyer Lansky
Anthony Blinkin
Virginia Nulan
Robert Kagen
George Soros
Miriam Adelstein
Joe Biden
The Dynamics that created this thinking is simple. Greed. It is the American Oligarchy which associates and is descended from the British Oligarchy. It is Imperialism and Neo-Colonialism. It is racism. It is what makes the Banderites Nazis.
The greatest purveyor of this evil is the Deep State of the USA.
If you want to know who is really responsible, it is us. We allow the Deep State to continue and deny that it exists. We believe Capitalism is preferable to Socialism. We believe USA #1. Americans refuse to take responsibility for the actions of their government.
I agree with you, but for me, it is getting more and more difficult to watch these videos and to realize that so many humans are so.......so.......I really do not know how to describe them. There are no animals that I can think of that are as bad so maybe some humans are genetically deformed and need to just be kept away from the world until they die a natural death. I just cannot get to a place where I think it is OK to start killing people or even animals. I don't even like killing bugs.
The macho Americans would be joining a mob to hang black people. Nothing new there. Big macho guys are marchi as they are insecure. To protect themselves and their ego they blame and kick the vulnerable.
Or Guillotine them preferably as there's no cure in the known and unknown universe for sickness and evil this depraved... Only complete eradication is the viable option here
The problem with such revenge is that anyone who does the eradicating risks losing part of or all of their own humanity. We have to come up with something better. I don't like medication, but for these people, it might help the rest of us.
Sign me up to handle this job as I've long lost my love for humanity and destroying the cancer that is plaguing the collective would be a nice way for me to let off steam constructively
I get normal people can't get their hands dirty without turning into monsters themselves but there are some dangerous good men like me who can handle getting our hands dirty for the greater good and not lose mich sleep over it
Give me this job and it would be solved pronto without me tipping over to the evil side as what I've experienced and withered in my own personal life would make this eradication job a picnic by comparison
I wish I had the power to do that Uaifo Ojo, hell I might even join you in this endeavor if I had the means and abilities to do so.
There are some evils in this world that are SO EVIL, that IMO 'eradication' may be the only option there is (though I'm equally happy to be proven wrong).
To Uaifo Ojo and Chang, I understand the fury you feel about the horror of the genocide that is happening before our eyes. Caitlin is rightly exposing and sharing the loathing we all feel towards people who still support Israel and its carnage of the Palestinians. All of us are frustrated with not finding a just solution, an end to the Palestinian suffering. But is more violence the answer?
Reminds me of the poem by William Blake... " The Grey Monk" :
The hand of vengeance found the bed/ To which the purple tyrant fled/The iron hand crush'd the tyrants head, And became a tyrant in his stead".
Madame Guillotine would be my choice - it gives one the time to if not understand that what the did is so repulsive, but to realise that is why they are being removed from continuing such evil on innocent people just because you thought you could. Any reform could be laughed at because we know it will be just another lie to save their lives.
Oh, yeah. If I had been next to him nothing would have held me back from slapping him right there and then, no matter what they did to me, he deserved that and more.
>>"I wish the dynamics that create this twisted thinking could be figured out so that we could medicate them, imprison them, do whatever it takes to stop them."
The dynamics have already been figured out Susan T - it's called 'human psychology (psychopathy/sociopathy in particular) infused with Capitalism on steroids'.
I wish a VACCINE for 'such a condition/disease' were possible...
Recently ordered two Israeli flags. It was amazing the low price and Free Shipping! Then mail came to help elderly Jews who need food. I called the number to donate and spoke to a "donation representative". I mentioned the forced starving in Gaza and other things and asked how she could sleep when children are being starved, bombed, or shot in the head waiting for food or water. She Then replied "I can't stand it". I wished her well finding another job.Then bought red paint ! I wish the flags had a Swastica on them. Israel is a Terrorist State that should be canceled. 1 State Palestine. Arrest the War Crininals. Keep resisting for Aaron Bushnell, Hind, and others...............
1 flag arrived and I almost puked at the site!. I for some reason have had a big problems posting. Should I say Greater Israel Is a Terrorist Colonial Effort to help?
There are people in this world who are still thinking that Muslim guys with box cutters highjacked 2 plains and downed 3 towers in NYC, and part of the Pentagon. 24 focking years after this scam, and many reports, and the retarded are still refusing to see they were fooled.
People always question me as to why I remain so steadfast about revealing the fraud of 9/11. Quite simply, the evidence is easily digestible and the subsequent questions raised strike at the core of the corruption engulfing the world. Even my opinionated Fox News addicted father was speechless when I showed him WTC 7 being imploded.
Only last week I asked a friend in his 70s (who is constantly reading books) about tower 7? He said WHAT TOWER 7? Here I have bulging veins for 24 focking years about T-7, and this human who is breathing our air NEVER HEARD OF TOWER 7. These people in reality are not stupid, but, they refuse to think that the government / the media are EVIL.
There are some people in this world (thankfully a minority) that still believe the stupid 'conspiracy theories' about 9/11 that you believe, mois78 (and many of them gather on online spaces like substack, message boards, etc.).
Anonymous quote -> "You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time."
Some 'human conditions' are hopeless - like Zionism, Nazism, etc. The condition of 'stupid conspiratorial thinking' (which is DIFFERENT from 'skeptical thinking') may belong to such a category.
Come on Chang. Questioning sacred cows like 9/11 are the very definition of skeptical thinking. What do you think happened to WTC 7, besides it being an obvious demolition?
Distinguishing between real conspiracies and conspiracy theories ->
Real conspiracies do exist. Volkswagen conspired to cheat emissions tests for their diesel engines. The U.S. National Security Agency secretly spied on civilian internet users. The tobacco industry deceived the public about the harmful health effects of smoking. We know about these conspiracies through internal industry documents, government investigations, or whistleblowers.
Conspiracy theories, by contrast, tend to persist for a long time even when there is no decisive evidence for them. Those conspiracy theories are based on a variety of thinking patterns that are known to be unreliable tools for tracking reality. Typically, conspiracy theories are not supported by evidence that withstands scrutiny but this doesn’t stop them from blossoming. (Two examples of prominent and VERY popular such theories -> the widespread belief that the 9/11 terrorist attacks were an “inside job” has persisted for many years after the event. Decades after the fact, a vast majority of Americans believe that the government covered up the truth about the JFK assassination.)
Actual conspiracies do exist, but they are rarely discovered through the methods of conspiracy theorists. Rather, real conspiracies get discovered through conventional thinking—healthy skepticism of official accounts while carefully considering available evidence and being committed to internal consistency. In contrast, conspiratorial thinking is characterized by being hyperskeptical of all information that does not fit the theory, over-interpreting evidence that supports a preferred theory, and inconsistency.
Also, it is important to keep in mind that 'conspiratorial thinking' (or conspiracism) is NOT about LEFT/RIGHT, ideologies, political biases, etc. Conspiracism affects ALL HUMANS (regardless of where in the world they live and regardless of what period in human history they lived). I TOO am susceptible to the effects of 'conspiratorial thinking' and have to make a 'conscious effort' to continuously question the 'logic/process' of reaching conclusions of my analyses, including any beliefs that I may hold that might 'pollute' my thinking (and all humans have such beliefs).
Again, what do you think happened to WTC 7? Do you know what WTC 7 is? We’ll have to agree to disagree on the 9/11 conspiracy, but I did study the subject intensively for 5 years. I did not study it because of some irrational internal bias. I believed the entire government narrative for 7 years. In fact, I knew absolutely nothing about the 9/11 truth movement when I happened across David Ray Griffin’s The New Pearl Harbor in a bookstore, which, after reading, created such a cognitive dissonance that I read everything that I could find on the subject. It seemed too over-the-top to have any legitimacy whatsoever. My worldview was changed not because of some cognitive deficiency, but through thorough and continuous research.
>>"but I did study the subject intensively for 5 years."
Again, I don't mean to sound insulting, but 'how long ANYONE studies something' is NOT a reliable metric of the merit of an analysis on a subject. There are Nobel Prize winners (and geniuses) that have studied subjects ALL THEIR LIVES and still gotten many things wrong.
>>"when I happened across David Ray Griffin’s The New Pearl Harbor in a bookstore, which, after reading, created such a cognitive dissonance"
Are you willing to make a deal with me? I'm willing to read the book (and critique it) if you are willing to read the book I suggested (which is far from being the best on the subject) in earnestness and in good faith.
I think people confuse 'conspiratorial thinking' with 'skeptical thinking - which is based on the fundamentals of critical thinking'.
To be an accomplished 'skeptical thinker', one needs solid skills in logic, basic skills in statistics and probability, and a deep understanding of human psychological/mental flaws (like biases, fallacies, heuristics, cognitive errors, etc.). Many of these 'flaws' are NOT REALLY outright flaws, but rather remnants of 'human evolution' based on the changing environments that humans have had to survive over hundreds-of-thousands of years.
If nothing else, I recommend reading this book as a starting point - "Conspiracy: Why the Rational Believe the Irrational" (though there are better/more advanced books on the subject). (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61857147)
I also recommend reading 'Part II' of the book, which is about "How to Determine Which Conspiracy Theories Are Real" for further insights.
If you're willing, after reading the book (as a starting point), it would be more productive/worthwhile to enage in a discussion on the subject.
[PS: PM me if you'd like a free ebook version of the book]
Watch this brief (thankfully) on-the-ground segment from the Grayzone, then tell me that these US and Israeli monstrosities posing as normal people aren't monsters posing as "soldiers -in-defense-of" (some monumentally ludicrous bullshit)
Understood, Jenny. I hope every day that Iran will unleash its best hypersonic armaments and rain them down on Tel Aviv and Haifa; but also that that scumbag Miliekowsky will be there to receive them rather than hiding in Greece like the coward he fundamentally has shown himself to be.
Vin, I’d be happy enough to have Iran do Greece, too, simply for ignoring the fact that Meliekowski is a wanted war criminal, and has retreated there with his tail between his legs.
And you are the sole adjudicator of all things Occam's razor. Typical MD attitude. You know the rest of the scientific world -- us biomedical PhDs to be precise -- who, I could demo via several examples, know far more than you far-too-arrogant bloviators, and are sick and tired of that arrogance -- your "everyone else is wrong" attitude.
OK, here's a recent example, just for you: I diagnosed that my dearest one's persistent vertigo due to an old brainstem stroke was likely an indicator of damage to her pons, specifically the vestibular nuclear complex. Never mentioned once either verbally or in any report by her neurologists. Now I'm no clinician. And my field is molecular biology and immunology, but I have taught and mastered enough neurobiology to have seen that connection instantly. Where the hell was your crowd, expert?
I might not be the 'droid you're looking for, Vin.
Posterior circulation CVAs are notoriously difficult to correctly diagnose. Everybody is busy and has 5 minutes, right?
My left shoulder complete AC separation was completely missed at my admission for a very bad high speed bicycle accident in 2006, and I underwent chest tube placement by a clumsy resident, which I gritted my teeth through. Mostly, I avoid other MDs, and don't need any medicines, myself. We are all in that boat.
I have more time since I was fired in October 2021 for "vaccine refusal", on the moral grounds of "standing naked with the Jews" or "unvaccinated" untermenschen, as the case happened to be that month.
I, myself, had been awkward for my clinic, though I had spearheaded COVID testing and treatment from January of 2020. The official narrative diverged, as you recall, but I had given away 40,000 doses of 5000IU vitamin D3 at my own expense to coworkers and patients, and had treated with Dr. Zev Zelenko's protocol (HCQ, Zn, azithro, D3) until I was expressly forbidden in August 2020, and switched to Dr. Borody's new protocol with ivermectin, Zn, doxycycline and D, which worked splendidly from the first married couple, sick for a week, husband droppong O2 sats, who I treated.
I almost cried the next morning when the RN met me as I came in from my bike commute, to tell me they both felt better.
Each of us is responsible to discern truth in life, no?
No argument, the system itself is fucked, and I sympathize, not knowing how you function within it. And parenthetically it's why I bailed on med school after 1 yr. No way I could see myself functioning rationally within it. But there are options to consult -- and it doesn't always have to be within the physician closed system. And so here's my COVID story, my contribution to sanity -- with extreme kudos to my PCP, with whom I have a great relationship. Recognizing her limitations and with knowledge of my background, she wanted the lowdown early on on its efficacy against transmission. Told her that from what I'd read & seen, no evidence for any elicitation of mucosal immunity, clinical trials never even assayed for IgA or sIgA, no reason to believe it would be efficacious vs transmission/infection. My advice was: sure your elderly & co morbid pts. should get it, given the supposed protective effect on severe clinical disease, but younger healthier pts., makes no sense to me; and clearly it's not going to impact the pandemic on the larger scale -- all this herd immunity talk is complete BS, don't believe it. And, far as I know, that's the advice she dispensed -- when she could without losing her job, I presume. That whole episode still makes me crazy; I don't know how you or any other competent physician dealt with it rationally. Obviously, you did a commendable job of it, bravo. Forgive me for any slights; I have several friends like my PCP, who are fine practitioners and terrific human beings.
And yes, I agree about Posterior circulation CVAs, but there were some obvious indicators in this case that pointed to some diagnostic laziness, and I find sloth inexcusable.
Thank You, vin. I did not say earlier, but I maintain posterior strokes, pulmonary emboli and even pheochromocytoma in my mind.
I have diagnosed all 3, and I do not believe I ever missed one, but I have always been "slow", enjoying understanding a patient "completely", so it became harder over time to be appreciated for that, as everything got more and more business-managed.
Anyway, I am "mostly retired" since being fired, and the ABFM jerked my FP board cert. in 2023, after 33 years, for "advising patients against COVID-19 vaccination", which was true for all pregnant women, all kids and healthy young adults, and everybody who already had COVID.
You might appreciate the work of Dr. Marian Laderoute, who I met through Dr. McCullough's listserv, and whose work directly pertains to mucosal immunity mechanisms. https://substack.com/@hervk102
ADE, antibody dependent enhancement of viral pathogenicitywas what I was proactively concerned with. All coronavirus vaccines tested on animals since the 1990s caused a higher mortality in the vaccinated animals, compared to unvaccinated, when presented with the virus.
It was that way again, apparent since July 2021 on the UK data, as the first age cohorts started catching more COVID, not less,and everybody just ignored it, because it was not announced as such.
Respectfully, Dr. John, the lobby doesn't just need to be "weakened" but entirely extirpated as a foreign actor operating illegally inside the US government -- banned from such activities as a "threat to national security" as most any other non-Israel-affiliated foreign-national org. would assuredly be were its tentacles discovered inserted so deeply. Cordially, Dr. Vin
I agree, Dr. Vin, but who can bell-that-cat? This covert operation is about as pervasive as a mycelium in our western business, finance and government circles, so any structural weakening, by exposing the blackmailed puppets-of-Epstein, for instance, is a welcome step.
Damage-control for "Israel's" tarnished image becomes more difficult and expensive, and regular people no longer hold favorable opinions of that regime, which threshold appears to have been crossed in the US by February of this year. I expect it is accellerating.
I wear a PALESTINE bike Jersey on My rides since January 2023, when it finally arrived from China. I had a couple of shouted-slurs from drivers in spring of 2023, but only favorable reactions since then, and a few back then, also.
The words do not exist to call this what it is. This is not only an atrocity it is an attempt to dehumanize all of us. Payback should be swift and merciless.
It is indeed a slippery slope, but how else do you end this madness if not by exterminating those who kill without reason? Genocide is a mindless act. Retribution should be thought out and enacted with integrity.
I hold the intention to benefit others, though the predators and their followers are benefitted by being stopped.
The followers might follow a different direction if societal directions change. 2/3 of people are that way.
Sociopaths are just inherently difficult to deal with and require a lot of constant attention. We have entered a period of crisis, like Depression-WW2, or Civil-War, or Revolutionary War.
"Our" national and global financial-power-empire is pervasi=vely corrupted and sucking the lifeblood from constructive/productive economy.
Resets are not nice, but it is less bad to do this without nuclear war this time.
And there's a damned good reason, Susan, and I speak only for myself, living in a country whose right to assert anything even hinting of humanity is so bogus as to need constant challenge and hope for punishment, despite knowledge of that punishment's likely pain to myself. Yeah I'm willing to take my ass-kicking just to see the US take its own, so I'm not being Pollyanna here.
Twelve generations of completely inhumane [actually inhuman] treatment of African Americans. And consider this: US presidents like Andrew Jackson, lauded for various incomprehensible reasons by historians (not Zinn, of course), bridled his horse with bridles made from Native American skin. I have no boundaries on my detestation of these assholes and my country, and no desire to limit the payback.
If it appears to dehumanize me, I hardly give a shit. My being is closer to that of the 500 year-old Junipers on my desert trails, the Ponderosa Pine and Aspens up the mountain than to most other "humans". I freely surrender those bits of my "humanity" and cleave to my true natural partners. And with a few notable exceptions, they fail to be members of Homo sapiens.
I get what you are saying. I have been through some very difficult times where I was physically and emotionally abused. I have spent many years working to understand my abuser. But that was just one abuser. When the abuse is coming from an entire group of so called humans, that is a different thing to deal with. I don't really know how to deal with that. Your way sounds reasonable from where you are sitting and even, to an extent, from where I am sitting. It is just that I don't want that in my life. But, as you point out, it is there.
Actually - you would be SAVING lives (present AND future ones) by eliminating those 'other lives' that extinguish the lives of 'women and children'.
Imagine if Hitler had been successfully assassinated (many attempts failed) before WW2 began. How many lives could have been changed? How different could the world have been today?
Similarly, think of how many more people SHOULD be assassinated currently (I won't name names here, and I assume most people understand that this list is unforutnately longer than anyone wants it to be).
Yes, Caitlin, and people who vote for candidates who support genocide by voting for funding, giving Israel protection in the UN and shaming and punishing protesters are also “bad people.” Because, as you say, genocide is not just another issue, like marijuana legalization, or even say, reproductive freedom. It is the moral test of our time. So, all those voters who vote for politicians who support genocide, because the “other” option may be worse, are complicit in evil. It’s our responsibility to create another option. And too many people don’t care enough. Here in the U.S. most Democrats will vote for whomever the DNC supports, including in the primaries when we sometimes have a chance to vote for candidates who oppose genocide and other illegal wars.
We get it. The question is, what to do about it? We have tried supporting third parties and candidates. I voted “uncommitted” in the last election. A lot of people didn’t vote. The problem is, the politicians decide our fate. One example, we did not end the Vietnam War with our protests, although they were important. What ended the war was the vote in Congress to cut off the funding. In the US, the Supreme Court has instituted a system of bribery in our electoral system. The donors rule. Without a huge groundswell in the U.S. in opposition to the genocide, things will not change. Unfortunately, we obviously don’t have that. It’s easier to conform than to resist, even if it means embracing evil. I think we can start by calling people out, not just the politicians, but the voters. Maybe shaming will work, since persuasion hasn’t. Your call.
Now it’s at the forefront of western imperialism. I have lived in nyc for 35 years. The evil against Mamdani is all you need to observe. All the non nyers commenting away and the radical psychotic Jewish supremecists losing their shit.
I think many people, perhaps most, do not feel they CAN do anything about it. Those of us who go to demos, write letters, sign petitions, talk to other people know that we are not really stopping anything. It is a helpless and sickening feeling.
Most countries do quite a lot about murder. Various laws and judicial systems condemn murder quite a bit. Most religions also condemn murder.
I think part of the problem with Israel has been the propaganda - the narrative spin and control so many people have been gullible enough to believe.
Also Fear is now being used increasingly by Western authoritarian governments, to suppress natural dissent to mass murder - such as students being kicked out of major universities, dissenters being locked up or even disappeared. Peaceful protests are subject to tear gassing, rubber bullets attacks, and brute force arrests.
The billionaire/corporate controlled Western mass media also complicit in the genocide, such as the BBC - spreading daily propaganda and pedaling Israel as a victim nation. There have been mass protests against the genocide in many other countries, but ordinary Americans and Brits are rarely aware of the mass protests taking place.
The International Court also condemned the genocide in legal international terms, but much like the U.N. has been unable to enforce their judgement because of primarily the corruption and collusion of the US government with the genocide.
It can be a very hard decision for someone who is struggling to maintain a family and a roof over their head in the US, to risk it all to attend a protest where they could very well be arrested, and/or fired from their workplace because of being labeled with an anti-semitic smear or worse.
I think most human beings do share a common moral compass: i.e. most human beings do have a sense of compassion for other human beings, and realize to some degree the beauty of life and the preciousness of their fleeting humanity. The Judicial systems that spring up in every civilization. The religions that spontaneously emerge all over the world in every human epoch. The endless stories of heroes sacrificing themselves out of a sense of compassion for other people. The fact even that love exists in the human race, and often does motivate human beings to achieve some remarkable things.
Not all the world is ruled by fear. Not everything is about Fear, or Might Makes Right.
When it comes to a single murder most Judicial systems work pretty well.
But you're right, when it comes to mass murder, legitimized by flag waving (lying their ass off politicians) - then there does seem to be no problem at all.
Partly because the horrors of war are never brought back to most ordinary Americans or Brits, and are hidden by mass media propaganda outlets. Only after the body bags come home in the thousands do Americans/Brits get a sense of what war really is all about. But never really get the taste of the mass destruction and mass death of innocent life, especially the innocent life of children perpetrated abroad by Western Intelligence agencies or Western sponsored wars of righteousness.
It's all like a video game to the politicians and Neo-Con nutjobs in charge - for example, Lindsey Graham, a fat ass, warmongering shithead.
Without going further into the sham that The Rule Of Law in fact represents, the fact is that Americans in general and neocons in particular behave the way that they do is because they and theirs never face personal consequences.
That others suffer and die does not trouble them a whit.
Zionist mass murderers have been staging fake antisemitic incidents since the 1940s and 1950s, when they bombed and torched synagogues and Jewish-owned businesses in Iraq, Morocco and Egypt. The European Ashkenazi Jews needed an underclass of non-white Jews to do the dirty jobs in Israeli society, so they carried out false flag terrorist campaigns to scare Jews in those countries into emigrating to Israel. Even though actual serious antisemitism only existed in Europe and the US.
One of your best, Caitlin. Very hard-hitting TRUTH. The ZioNazis have never been more unhinged. As the mountain of TRUTH buries them like a collapsed hospital in Gaza, they will become even more unhinged. Their cesspool of Mass Formation Psychosis is drowning them.
We cannot "take our boots off of their throats". We must keep the pressure on until their agenda is completely destroyed!
Daniella Weiss was on Piers Morgan and this grandmotherly looking woman was so full of hatred for Arabs and entitlement to whatever land Zionists want, she couldn’t bring herself to express one word of sympathy for dead Palestinian children. She used as her reasoning that God gave the Jews Israel (she could barely say Palestine) and not one inch belonged to anyone else. There is no atrocity she wouldn’t support. There was some actor in an interview begging for a ceasefire “because the war was going to destroy Israel’s image.” Even IDF soldiers reporting they’re told to shoot Palestinians in cold blood who are lined up for food has no effect on Zionist supporters.
These true believers have no real connection to anyone other than members of their tribe and their interactions with us may be superficially pleasant but their loyalty is to Zionism. They use a 2,500 year old religious text as a shield to steal and murder.
SW, you and Daniella Weiss, fail to understand the most basic of all human character traits:
The truth must always be kept well hidden.
That is my perspective from earning a degrees in the "Classics" and the law and being a civil practice trial lawyer for over 35 years, with having worked as an attorney for two years U. S. Attorney's office in San Francisco and with having my own law office employing fellow attorneys.
For a start you might consider reading:
The Palestine Papers: 1917–1922: Seeds of Conflict, Doreen Ingrams
The Hundred Years' War on Palestine
A History of Settler Colonialism and Resistance, 1917–2017
Incorrect. The TRUTH (like everything else) is used and abused by those in power (TPTB, power elite, etc.) to accomplish their agendas.
Often TRUTH aids in the agendas of TPTB, often it doesn't. Might I suggest that instead of focusing on the 'black-and-white' application of TRUTH, to rather focus on POWER and how 'truth is used' by those in power to maintain the status quo?
"music groups who speak out against Israel’s atrocities are starting to form alliances with each other in an effort to counteract the campaign to silence them and destroy their careers, saying it shouldn’t be necessary to form an alliance in order to oppose an ongoing genocide."
I have learned to my horror that many people refuse to admit they are wrong no matter the consequences to others. I find these people profoundly repellent.
I don't think that people who do horrible things to other people really understand themselves or the other people. I think they are sick and need help or confinement of some sort if they cannot be stopped. The people who commit these acts are repellent, but the people who allow them to commit the acts are equally repellent.
I think that your first two sentences can be an apt description of most soldiers who close their eyes and minds to the dirty work that they do in the name of patriotism and Jesus and the glorious empire. In this context, I think that empires will always have their Israels, and the powerful will always find willing soldiers if the price is right.
What the white man has normalized and paraded as virtue and peace keeping is a comforting mythology so the self loathing masses can feel justified in hating their designated enemies. The hate is the ether that pervades the planet, and makes peace illusory.
Zionism and the hatred that it always engenders is the creed that must be recognized as the enemy of fairness and equality, and the precursor to perpetual wars and violence.
“…the powerful will always find willing soldiers if the price is right.”
Most soldiers don’t have a very high price. Many are indoctrinated to believe in some righteous cause.
the powerful will always find willing soldiers if the price is right.
Yes....I have met many people like this, it feels good to apologise.
Many people are wounded, many are damaged and some are mentally ill. When you get a society, culture and State which is severely mentally ill and contained in a cult environment, you get the most depraved human behaviour. Israelis cannot be reasoned with, they must be stopped and their State totally dismantled.
>>"I have learned to my horror that many people refuse to admit they are wrong no matter the consequences to others."
Good on you for learning that. Maybe you might also stumble upon the realization that 'this has always been so' for ALMOST as long as human history has existed.
Is there a SOLUTION to such fundamental flaws of human existence? If not, are we (as a species) doomed (in the long run or maybe even the short)?
With cowards like that it usually just takes a couple of good solid hits to the face and they will agree to anything. Its time to start dishing those out.
You do understand that the U.S. (including its cronies like Israel and other Western nations) have 'nuclear weapons' right?
I was talking about the followers wearing hats or dying their hair, spewing nonsense constantly and refusing to see any form of truth. For the record I am on neither side of the uniparty and want it gone. As for Israel, we need massive change here in the US and purging all zionist influence before we can deal with those nukes. That will take years of careful dissecting to get control of. Cant do it while zionism is infecting the west.
>>"I was talking about the followers wearing hats or dying their hair, spewing nonsense constantly and refusing to see any form of truth."
Fair enough.
>>"...we need massive change here in the US and purging all zionist influence..."
This is where I see limited foresight in the thinking/understanding of most people - that they think that the U.S. can actually/realistically be PURGED of Zionist influence. We still have an incredible amount of Nazi influence (white supremacy, etc.) that may have gone underground for a period of time but doesn't seem to have receeded any (and in fact may be on the rise).
More that such Zionist/Nazi/etc. influences, the root cause behind such 'fascist ideologies' goes deeper into the American psyche. Hence, even if in some hypothetical reality one were able to eradicate Zionism from the U.S., it is likely that it would be replaced by some other 'such ideologies'. Please don't misinterpret my comment to mean anything along the lines of 'eradicating Zionism in the West should not be attempted' - as that is still a worthwhile cause - though I doubt that that will provide 'a workable solution' to the issues the U.S. is plagued with.
How can zionism be purged from America when a politician in the highest position in American politics stood up and proclaimed himself to be a Christian zionist? There should be no such animal, especially not one in a high positions in politics to feel it is okay to declare himself such a one while, at the same time, ensuring a zionist state is given all kinds of bombs it wants to kill the people they are obliged, by law, to protect and care for, with these same bombs.
And then, worst of all the the other politicians say, okay, fine, go for it, and allow the most repulsive person currently on this planet to arrive, a convicted criminal in Israel and wanted by the ICC, to saunter into the US house full of politicians and gets standing ovations for talking pure unadulterated shite.
There is always a power vacuum, but you can plan for it if you are ruthless enough, and I am. You can use a power vacuum to draw out the next group, then the following groups think twice and go back underground like you mentioned.
I agree about the ingrained fascism and ignorance in the US populace, it makes all the ideas and planning exercises in one's mind, fall back to the same question continuously, Are these fools even worth the fight it would take to liberate or even educate them?
i agree with mr chokaski that eradicating zionism will not solve the problem of american fascism (nazism), or ‘americanism’ (deeper in the american psyche) if you will. nevertheless i also agree this is still a commendable undertaking (keeping in mind the ‘americanism’ this would probably result in the eradication of all jews – it’s just in their nature, being the arch-fascists).
We are merely goy to be used as needed by the chosen ones - that's how the right wing jews think of us and exploit all with total disregard
At the opening of this video, Mandy Patinkin expresses what is going to happen to Jews because of Netanyahu. He hopes Israel continues to exist. I do not think it can be reformed.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS3na0p2hYY
Which then dovetails into my post about the involvement of the Jewish Mob in supporting of Israel and how that undermines Democracy in the USA.
The evil we see in Israel right now is being committed every single day all around the world. The fountainhead for this evil is not Israel, but the USA.
Real antisemitism is already on the rise because of what Netanyahu is doing. I think the USA is equally responsible, but I don't think they are more responsible. Only greedy, uncaring, sick, twisted people like Netanyahu and his cronies could do what they are doing to the Palestinian people. And only greedy, uncaring sick twisted people like Trump could support someone like Netanyahu. I wish the dynamics that create this twisted thinking could be figured out so that we could medicate them, imprison them, do whatever it takes to stop them.
I already posted this link to Aaron Good's video and included the closing transcript.
The Gray Alliance and JFK's Assassination
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rK2XwsHSvEk
You severely limit those responsible for the quest for American hegemony by blaming only Netanyahu and Trump. I find the most evil are actually Americans.
A very short list of examples:
Meyer Lansky
Anthony Blinkin
Virginia Nulan
Robert Kagen
George Soros
Miriam Adelstein
Joe Biden
The Dynamics that created this thinking is simple. Greed. It is the American Oligarchy which associates and is descended from the British Oligarchy. It is Imperialism and Neo-Colonialism. It is racism. It is what makes the Banderites Nazis.
The greatest purveyor of this evil is the Deep State of the USA.
If you want to know who is really responsible, it is us. We allow the Deep State to continue and deny that it exists. We believe Capitalism is preferable to Socialism. We believe USA #1. Americans refuse to take responsibility for the actions of their government.
I agree with you, but for me, it is getting more and more difficult to watch these videos and to realize that so many humans are so.......so.......I really do not know how to describe them. There are no animals that I can think of that are as bad so maybe some humans are genetically deformed and need to just be kept away from the world until they die a natural death. I just cannot get to a place where I think it is OK to start killing people or even animals. I don't even like killing bugs.
Victoria Nuland I think.
100% agree.
Where is the rebellion by these macho Americans?
The macho Americans would be joining a mob to hang black people. Nothing new there. Big macho guys are marchi as they are insecure. To protect themselves and their ego they blame and kick the vulnerable.
Or Guillotine them preferably as there's no cure in the known and unknown universe for sickness and evil this depraved... Only complete eradication is the viable option here
The problem with such revenge is that anyone who does the eradicating risks losing part of or all of their own humanity. We have to come up with something better. I don't like medication, but for these people, it might help the rest of us.
Sign me up to handle this job as I've long lost my love for humanity and destroying the cancer that is plaguing the collective would be a nice way for me to let off steam constructively
I get normal people can't get their hands dirty without turning into monsters themselves but there are some dangerous good men like me who can handle getting our hands dirty for the greater good and not lose mich sleep over it
Give me this job and it would be solved pronto without me tipping over to the evil side as what I've experienced and withered in my own personal life would make this eradication job a picnic by comparison
Uaifo,
May I help? 😁
>>"Give me this job..."
I wish I had the power to do that Uaifo Ojo, hell I might even join you in this endeavor if I had the means and abilities to do so.
There are some evils in this world that are SO EVIL, that IMO 'eradication' may be the only option there is (though I'm equally happy to be proven wrong).
To Uaifo Ojo and Chang, I understand the fury you feel about the horror of the genocide that is happening before our eyes. Caitlin is rightly exposing and sharing the loathing we all feel towards people who still support Israel and its carnage of the Palestinians. All of us are frustrated with not finding a just solution, an end to the Palestinian suffering. But is more violence the answer?
Reminds me of the poem by William Blake... " The Grey Monk" :
The hand of vengeance found the bed/ To which the purple tyrant fled/The iron hand crush'd the tyrants head, And became a tyrant in his stead".
Disagree, Susan. It would be for the GREATER GOOD of what is euphemistically called humanity.
Madame Guillotine would be my choice - it gives one the time to if not understand that what the did is so repulsive, but to realise that is why they are being removed from continuing such evil on innocent people just because you thought you could. Any reform could be laughed at because we know it will be just another lie to save their lives.
Remember Biden?
Oh, yeah. If I had been next to him nothing would have held me back from slapping him right there and then, no matter what they did to me, he deserved that and more.
>>"I wish the dynamics that create this twisted thinking could be figured out so that we could medicate them, imprison them, do whatever it takes to stop them."
The dynamics have already been figured out Susan T - it's called 'human psychology (psychopathy/sociopathy in particular) infused with Capitalism on steroids'.
I wish a VACCINE for 'such a condition/disease' were possible...
Your point?
Recently ordered two Israeli flags. It was amazing the low price and Free Shipping! Then mail came to help elderly Jews who need food. I called the number to donate and spoke to a "donation representative". I mentioned the forced starving in Gaza and other things and asked how she could sleep when children are being starved, bombed, or shot in the head waiting for food or water. She Then replied "I can't stand it". I wished her well finding another job.Then bought red paint ! I wish the flags had a Swastica on them. Israel is a Terrorist State that should be canceled. 1 State Palestine. Arrest the War Crininals. Keep resisting for Aaron Bushnell, Hind, and others...............
Help Wanted.
Great job Chuck!
I want photos of the finished product!
Thanks. One of the finished products may be ashes!
1 flag arrived and I almost puked at the site!. I for some reason have had a big problems posting. Should I say Greater Israel Is a Terrorist Colonial Effort to help?
There are people in this world who are still thinking that Muslim guys with box cutters highjacked 2 plains and downed 3 towers in NYC, and part of the Pentagon. 24 focking years after this scam, and many reports, and the retarded are still refusing to see they were fooled.
And unfortunately some of those people who believe that are people very dear to me such as family members.😢☮️🇵🇸
UM?
People always question me as to why I remain so steadfast about revealing the fraud of 9/11. Quite simply, the evidence is easily digestible and the subsequent questions raised strike at the core of the corruption engulfing the world. Even my opinionated Fox News addicted father was speechless when I showed him WTC 7 being imploded.
Only last week I asked a friend in his 70s (who is constantly reading books) about tower 7? He said WHAT TOWER 7? Here I have bulging veins for 24 focking years about T-7, and this human who is breathing our air NEVER HEARD OF TOWER 7. These people in reality are not stupid, but, they refuse to think that the government / the media are EVIL.
.^^^^^^
THIS!
There are some people in this world (thankfully a minority) that still believe the stupid 'conspiracy theories' about 9/11 that you believe, mois78 (and many of them gather on online spaces like substack, message boards, etc.).
Anonymous quote -> "You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time."
Some 'human conditions' are hopeless - like Zionism, Nazism, etc. The condition of 'stupid conspiratorial thinking' (which is DIFFERENT from 'skeptical thinking') may belong to such a category.
Come on Chang. Questioning sacred cows like 9/11 are the very definition of skeptical thinking. What do you think happened to WTC 7, besides it being an obvious demolition?
Distinguishing between real conspiracies and conspiracy theories ->
Real conspiracies do exist. Volkswagen conspired to cheat emissions tests for their diesel engines. The U.S. National Security Agency secretly spied on civilian internet users. The tobacco industry deceived the public about the harmful health effects of smoking. We know about these conspiracies through internal industry documents, government investigations, or whistleblowers.
Conspiracy theories, by contrast, tend to persist for a long time even when there is no decisive evidence for them. Those conspiracy theories are based on a variety of thinking patterns that are known to be unreliable tools for tracking reality. Typically, conspiracy theories are not supported by evidence that withstands scrutiny but this doesn’t stop them from blossoming. (Two examples of prominent and VERY popular such theories -> the widespread belief that the 9/11 terrorist attacks were an “inside job” has persisted for many years after the event. Decades after the fact, a vast majority of Americans believe that the government covered up the truth about the JFK assassination.)
Actual conspiracies do exist, but they are rarely discovered through the methods of conspiracy theorists. Rather, real conspiracies get discovered through conventional thinking—healthy skepticism of official accounts while carefully considering available evidence and being committed to internal consistency. In contrast, conspiratorial thinking is characterized by being hyperskeptical of all information that does not fit the theory, over-interpreting evidence that supports a preferred theory, and inconsistency.
Also, it is important to keep in mind that 'conspiratorial thinking' (or conspiracism) is NOT about LEFT/RIGHT, ideologies, political biases, etc. Conspiracism affects ALL HUMANS (regardless of where in the world they live and regardless of what period in human history they lived). I TOO am susceptible to the effects of 'conspiratorial thinking' and have to make a 'conscious effort' to continuously question the 'logic/process' of reaching conclusions of my analyses, including any beliefs that I may hold that might 'pollute' my thinking (and all humans have such beliefs).
Again, what do you think happened to WTC 7? Do you know what WTC 7 is? We’ll have to agree to disagree on the 9/11 conspiracy, but I did study the subject intensively for 5 years. I did not study it because of some irrational internal bias. I believed the entire government narrative for 7 years. In fact, I knew absolutely nothing about the 9/11 truth movement when I happened across David Ray Griffin’s The New Pearl Harbor in a bookstore, which, after reading, created such a cognitive dissonance that I read everything that I could find on the subject. It seemed too over-the-top to have any legitimacy whatsoever. My worldview was changed not because of some cognitive deficiency, but through thorough and continuous research.
BTW, which exact book are you referring to? There are 2 books ->
(1) (2004) -> "The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration & 9/11"
AND
(2) (2008) -> "The New Pearl Harbor Revisited: 9/11, the Cover-up & the Expose"
Btw, any reason why you steadfastly ignore the WTC 7 question?
https://youtu.be/UwVF9vT3Y9c?si=q6GPjA7J9_ZJpZwA
>>"but I did study the subject intensively for 5 years."
Again, I don't mean to sound insulting, but 'how long ANYONE studies something' is NOT a reliable metric of the merit of an analysis on a subject. There are Nobel Prize winners (and geniuses) that have studied subjects ALL THEIR LIVES and still gotten many things wrong.
>>"when I happened across David Ray Griffin’s The New Pearl Harbor in a bookstore, which, after reading, created such a cognitive dissonance"
Are you willing to make a deal with me? I'm willing to read the book (and critique it) if you are willing to read the book I suggested (which is far from being the best on the subject) in earnestness and in good faith.
Let me know.
Sure. I’ll read it. Once more, what do you think happened to WTC 7?
I think people confuse 'conspiratorial thinking' with 'skeptical thinking - which is based on the fundamentals of critical thinking'.
To be an accomplished 'skeptical thinker', one needs solid skills in logic, basic skills in statistics and probability, and a deep understanding of human psychological/mental flaws (like biases, fallacies, heuristics, cognitive errors, etc.). Many of these 'flaws' are NOT REALLY outright flaws, but rather remnants of 'human evolution' based on the changing environments that humans have had to survive over hundreds-of-thousands of years.
If nothing else, I recommend reading this book as a starting point - "Conspiracy: Why the Rational Believe the Irrational" (though there are better/more advanced books on the subject). (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61857147)
I also recommend reading 'Part II' of the book, which is about "How to Determine Which Conspiracy Theories Are Real" for further insights.
If you're willing, after reading the book (as a starting point), it would be more productive/worthwhile to enage in a discussion on the subject.
[PS: PM me if you'd like a free ebook version of the book]
Either one. Dr. Griffin has written 11 books on various aspects of 9/11, and all are excellent.
“Did you know that there is no historical or archaeological evidence connecting anyone living today to the descendants of Jacob from the Bible?
Want to know why that is? Simple: there is simply no evidence that these Biblical characters existed in real life.
Most mainstream scholars consider them mythological or legendary figures, possibly based on oral traditions that evolved over time. “

Bomb Israel.
Understood, Jenny. I hope every day that Iran will unleash its best hypersonic armaments and rain them down on Tel Aviv and Haifa; but also that that scumbag Miliekowsky will be there to receive them rather than hiding in Greece like the coward he fundamentally has shown himself to be.
Vin, I’d be happy enough to have Iran do Greece, too, simply for ignoring the fact that Meliekowski is a wanted war criminal, and has retreated there with his tail between his legs.
FUCK GREECE!

And you are the sole adjudicator of all things Occam's razor. Typical MD attitude. You know the rest of the scientific world -- us biomedical PhDs to be precise -- who, I could demo via several examples, know far more than you far-too-arrogant bloviators, and are sick and tired of that arrogance -- your "everyone else is wrong" attitude.
OK, here's a recent example, just for you: I diagnosed that my dearest one's persistent vertigo due to an old brainstem stroke was likely an indicator of damage to her pons, specifically the vestibular nuclear complex. Never mentioned once either verbally or in any report by her neurologists. Now I'm no clinician. And my field is molecular biology and immunology, but I have taught and mastered enough neurobiology to have seen that connection instantly. Where the hell was your crowd, expert?
Oh your poor 'dearest one' Vin. I had Vertigo for 2-3yrs. NOT one Doctor or a Neurologist had any idea why!
Hi Jenny
Vin’s dearest one was subjected to a vicious whiplash incident. 😕
I remain unsurprised at this not atypical outcome, Jenny.
I feel the same...........fed up with Doctors on the whole.
Vin: your Dearest One is undoubtedly grateful for your diagnosis and recommendations.
I might not be the 'droid you're looking for, Vin.
Posterior circulation CVAs are notoriously difficult to correctly diagnose. Everybody is busy and has 5 minutes, right?
My left shoulder complete AC separation was completely missed at my admission for a very bad high speed bicycle accident in 2006, and I underwent chest tube placement by a clumsy resident, which I gritted my teeth through. Mostly, I avoid other MDs, and don't need any medicines, myself. We are all in that boat.
I have more time since I was fired in October 2021 for "vaccine refusal", on the moral grounds of "standing naked with the Jews" or "unvaccinated" untermenschen, as the case happened to be that month.
I, myself, had been awkward for my clinic, though I had spearheaded COVID testing and treatment from January of 2020. The official narrative diverged, as you recall, but I had given away 40,000 doses of 5000IU vitamin D3 at my own expense to coworkers and patients, and had treated with Dr. Zev Zelenko's protocol (HCQ, Zn, azithro, D3) until I was expressly forbidden in August 2020, and switched to Dr. Borody's new protocol with ivermectin, Zn, doxycycline and D, which worked splendidly from the first married couple, sick for a week, husband droppong O2 sats, who I treated.
I almost cried the next morning when the RN met me as I came in from my bike commute, to tell me they both felt better.
Each of us is responsible to discern truth in life, no?
No argument, the system itself is fucked, and I sympathize, not knowing how you function within it. And parenthetically it's why I bailed on med school after 1 yr. No way I could see myself functioning rationally within it. But there are options to consult -- and it doesn't always have to be within the physician closed system. And so here's my COVID story, my contribution to sanity -- with extreme kudos to my PCP, with whom I have a great relationship. Recognizing her limitations and with knowledge of my background, she wanted the lowdown early on on its efficacy against transmission. Told her that from what I'd read & seen, no evidence for any elicitation of mucosal immunity, clinical trials never even assayed for IgA or sIgA, no reason to believe it would be efficacious vs transmission/infection. My advice was: sure your elderly & co morbid pts. should get it, given the supposed protective effect on severe clinical disease, but younger healthier pts., makes no sense to me; and clearly it's not going to impact the pandemic on the larger scale -- all this herd immunity talk is complete BS, don't believe it. And, far as I know, that's the advice she dispensed -- when she could without losing her job, I presume. That whole episode still makes me crazy; I don't know how you or any other competent physician dealt with it rationally. Obviously, you did a commendable job of it, bravo. Forgive me for any slights; I have several friends like my PCP, who are fine practitioners and terrific human beings.
And yes, I agree about Posterior circulation CVAs, but there were some obvious indicators in this case that pointed to some diagnostic laziness, and I find sloth inexcusable.
Thank You, vin. I did not say earlier, but I maintain posterior strokes, pulmonary emboli and even pheochromocytoma in my mind.
I have diagnosed all 3, and I do not believe I ever missed one, but I have always been "slow", enjoying understanding a patient "completely", so it became harder over time to be appreciated for that, as everything got more and more business-managed.
Anyway, I am "mostly retired" since being fired, and the ABFM jerked my FP board cert. in 2023, after 33 years, for "advising patients against COVID-19 vaccination", which was true for all pregnant women, all kids and healthy young adults, and everybody who already had COVID.
You might appreciate the work of Dr. Marian Laderoute, who I met through Dr. McCullough's listserv, and whose work directly pertains to mucosal immunity mechanisms. https://substack.com/@hervk102
ADE, antibody dependent enhancement of viral pathogenicitywas what I was proactively concerned with. All coronavirus vaccines tested on animals since the 1990s caused a higher mortality in the vaccinated animals, compared to unvaccinated, when presented with the virus.
It was that way again, apparent since July 2021 on the UK data, as the first age cohorts started catching more COVID, not less,and everybody just ignored it, because it was not announced as such.

Respectfully, Dr. John, the lobby doesn't just need to be "weakened" but entirely extirpated as a foreign actor operating illegally inside the US government -- banned from such activities as a "threat to national security" as most any other non-Israel-affiliated foreign-national org. would assuredly be were its tentacles discovered inserted so deeply. Cordially, Dr. Vin
Yes very well said.
I agree, Dr. Vin, but who can bell-that-cat? This covert operation is about as pervasive as a mycelium in our western business, finance and government circles, so any structural weakening, by exposing the blackmailed puppets-of-Epstein, for instance, is a welcome step.
Damage-control for "Israel's" tarnished image becomes more difficult and expensive, and regular people no longer hold favorable opinions of that regime, which threshold appears to have been crossed in the US by February of this year. I expect it is accellerating.

The words do not exist to call this what it is. This is not only an atrocity it is an attempt to dehumanize all of us. Payback should be swift and merciless.
But mercy is actual humanity, is it not?
Becoming your enemy does not eliminate the inhumanity.
It is indeed a slippery slope, but how else do you end this madness if not by exterminating those who kill without reason? Genocide is a mindless act. Retribution should be thought out and enacted with integrity.
Thank you for engaging this difficult question.
I hold the intention to benefit others, though the predators and their followers are benefitted by being stopped.
The followers might follow a different direction if societal directions change. 2/3 of people are that way.
Sociopaths are just inherently difficult to deal with and require a lot of constant attention. We have entered a period of crisis, like Depression-WW2, or Civil-War, or Revolutionary War.
"Our" national and global financial-power-empire is pervasi=vely corrupted and sucking the lifeblood from constructive/productive economy.
Resets are not nice, but it is less bad to do this without nuclear war this time.
All I can see is hanging-in, avoiding nuclear war each day, and seeking things I can do, or post on my blog, to weaken the hands of our sociopathic owners. https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/mission-inscrutable
It woudl be good if payback could be swift and merciless without also dehumanizing us. We are all caught.
And there's a damned good reason, Susan, and I speak only for myself, living in a country whose right to assert anything even hinting of humanity is so bogus as to need constant challenge and hope for punishment, despite knowledge of that punishment's likely pain to myself. Yeah I'm willing to take my ass-kicking just to see the US take its own, so I'm not being Pollyanna here.
Twelve generations of completely inhumane [actually inhuman] treatment of African Americans. And consider this: US presidents like Andrew Jackson, lauded for various incomprehensible reasons by historians (not Zinn, of course), bridled his horse with bridles made from Native American skin. I have no boundaries on my detestation of these assholes and my country, and no desire to limit the payback.
If it appears to dehumanize me, I hardly give a shit. My being is closer to that of the 500 year-old Junipers on my desert trails, the Ponderosa Pine and Aspens up the mountain than to most other "humans". I freely surrender those bits of my "humanity" and cleave to my true natural partners. And with a few notable exceptions, they fail to be members of Homo sapiens.
I get what you are saying. I have been through some very difficult times where I was physically and emotionally abused. I have spent many years working to understand my abuser. But that was just one abuser. When the abuse is coming from an entire group of so called humans, that is a different thing to deal with. I don't really know how to deal with that. Your way sounds reasonable from where you are sitting and even, to an extent, from where I am sitting. It is just that I don't want that in my life. But, as you point out, it is there.
I would not lose much sleep over executing the murderers of women and children.
Actually - you would be SAVING lives (present AND future ones) by eliminating those 'other lives' that extinguish the lives of 'women and children'.
Imagine if Hitler had been successfully assassinated (many attempts failed) before WW2 began. How many lives could have been changed? How different could the world have been today?
Similarly, think of how many more people SHOULD be assassinated currently (I won't name names here, and I assume most people understand that this list is unforutnately longer than anyone wants it to be).
Yes, Caitlin, and people who vote for candidates who support genocide by voting for funding, giving Israel protection in the UN and shaming and punishing protesters are also “bad people.” Because, as you say, genocide is not just another issue, like marijuana legalization, or even say, reproductive freedom. It is the moral test of our time. So, all those voters who vote for politicians who support genocide, because the “other” option may be worse, are complicit in evil. It’s our responsibility to create another option. And too many people don’t care enough. Here in the U.S. most Democrats will vote for whomever the DNC supports, including in the primaries when we sometimes have a chance to vote for candidates who oppose genocide and other illegal wars.
Moral test of our time - right on that's how I feel - no offense to my Jewish friends who don't support the Lobby and this genocide
What else can one expect from the Uniparty? It's the not getting that there is the Uniparty, that is the big problem.
We get it. The question is, what to do about it? We have tried supporting third parties and candidates. I voted “uncommitted” in the last election. A lot of people didn’t vote. The problem is, the politicians decide our fate. One example, we did not end the Vietnam War with our protests, although they were important. What ended the war was the vote in Congress to cut off the funding. In the US, the Supreme Court has instituted a system of bribery in our electoral system. The donors rule. Without a huge groundswell in the U.S. in opposition to the genocide, things will not change. Unfortunately, we obviously don’t have that. It’s easier to conform than to resist, even if it means embracing evil. I think we can start by calling people out, not just the politicians, but the voters. Maybe shaming will work, since persuasion hasn’t. Your call.
👍 Well said Nancy!
Now it’s at the forefront of western imperialism. I have lived in nyc for 35 years. The evil against Mamdani is all you need to observe. All the non nyers commenting away and the radical psychotic Jewish supremecists losing their shit.
Most humans simply support whoever is seen as stronger. They crave American carrot and fear American stick.
But most humans are also appalled with out outright murder. Especially young children getting shot in the head by Israel.
They mostly look the other way. Note how few actually do anything about it.
I think many people, perhaps most, do not feel they CAN do anything about it. Those of us who go to demos, write letters, sign petitions, talk to other people know that we are not really stopping anything. It is a helpless and sickening feeling.
No small amount of truth to that.
if it doesn't turn you communist, it's probably not that bad.
Most countries do quite a lot about murder. Various laws and judicial systems condemn murder quite a bit. Most religions also condemn murder.
I think part of the problem with Israel has been the propaganda - the narrative spin and control so many people have been gullible enough to believe.
Also Fear is now being used increasingly by Western authoritarian governments, to suppress natural dissent to mass murder - such as students being kicked out of major universities, dissenters being locked up or even disappeared. Peaceful protests are subject to tear gassing, rubber bullets attacks, and brute force arrests.
The billionaire/corporate controlled Western mass media also complicit in the genocide, such as the BBC - spreading daily propaganda and pedaling Israel as a victim nation. There have been mass protests against the genocide in many other countries, but ordinary Americans and Brits are rarely aware of the mass protests taking place.
The International Court also condemned the genocide in legal international terms, but much like the U.N. has been unable to enforce their judgement because of primarily the corruption and collusion of the US government with the genocide.
It can be a very hard decision for someone who is struggling to maintain a family and a roof over their head in the US, to risk it all to attend a protest where they could very well be arrested, and/or fired from their workplace because of being labeled with an anti-semitic smear or worse.
I think most human beings do share a common moral compass: i.e. most human beings do have a sense of compassion for other human beings, and realize to some degree the beauty of life and the preciousness of their fleeting humanity. The Judicial systems that spring up in every civilization. The religions that spontaneously emerge all over the world in every human epoch. The endless stories of heroes sacrificing themselves out of a sense of compassion for other people. The fact even that love exists in the human race, and often does motivate human beings to achieve some remarkable things.
Not all the world is ruled by fear. Not everything is about Fear, or Might Makes Right.
Countries do quite a lot about murder. Unless you are waving the right kind of flag, or are important and powerful.
Then they don't.
When it comes to a single murder most Judicial systems work pretty well.
But you're right, when it comes to mass murder, legitimized by flag waving (lying their ass off politicians) - then there does seem to be no problem at all.
Partly because the horrors of war are never brought back to most ordinary Americans or Brits, and are hidden by mass media propaganda outlets. Only after the body bags come home in the thousands do Americans/Brits get a sense of what war really is all about. But never really get the taste of the mass destruction and mass death of innocent life, especially the innocent life of children perpetrated abroad by Western Intelligence agencies or Western sponsored wars of righteousness.
It's all like a video game to the politicians and Neo-Con nutjobs in charge - for example, Lindsey Graham, a fat ass, warmongering shithead.
Without going further into the sham that The Rule Of Law in fact represents, the fact is that Americans in general and neocons in particular behave the way that they do is because they and theirs never face personal consequences.
That others suffer and die does not trouble them a whit.
You put into words how everyone in the. UK feels about our government supporting the murder of innocent thousands by an evil state
Zionist mass murderers have been staging fake antisemitic incidents since the 1940s and 1950s, when they bombed and torched synagogues and Jewish-owned businesses in Iraq, Morocco and Egypt. The European Ashkenazi Jews needed an underclass of non-white Jews to do the dirty jobs in Israeli society, so they carried out false flag terrorist campaigns to scare Jews in those countries into emigrating to Israel. Even though actual serious antisemitism only existed in Europe and the US.
There was also the demographic issues, for the democracy façade, don't you know.
Very, very true (and by that I mean factual). 🙏
You cannot spell Israeli's without LIES. Ramp it up for the people of Palestine.
One of your best, Caitlin. Very hard-hitting TRUTH. The ZioNazis have never been more unhinged. As the mountain of TRUTH buries them like a collapsed hospital in Gaza, they will become even more unhinged. Their cesspool of Mass Formation Psychosis is drowning them.
We cannot "take our boots off of their throats". We must keep the pressure on until their agenda is completely destroyed!
Daniella Weiss was on Piers Morgan and this grandmotherly looking woman was so full of hatred for Arabs and entitlement to whatever land Zionists want, she couldn’t bring herself to express one word of sympathy for dead Palestinian children. She used as her reasoning that God gave the Jews Israel (she could barely say Palestine) and not one inch belonged to anyone else. There is no atrocity she wouldn’t support. There was some actor in an interview begging for a ceasefire “because the war was going to destroy Israel’s image.” Even IDF soldiers reporting they’re told to shoot Palestinians in cold blood who are lined up for food has no effect on Zionist supporters.
These true believers have no real connection to anyone other than members of their tribe and their interactions with us may be superficially pleasant but their loyalty is to Zionism. They use a 2,500 year old religious text as a shield to steal and murder.
She's that woman who 'starred' in the movie "The Settlers." Chillingly psychopathic, and she says that it's normal.
SW, you and Daniella Weiss, fail to understand the most basic of all human character traits:
The truth must always be kept well hidden.
That is my perspective from earning a degrees in the "Classics" and the law and being a civil practice trial lawyer for over 35 years, with having worked as an attorney for two years U. S. Attorney's office in San Francisco and with having my own law office employing fellow attorneys.
For a start you might consider reading:

>>"The truth must always be kept well hidden."
Incorrect. The TRUTH (like everything else) is used and abused by those in power (TPTB, power elite, etc.) to accomplish their agendas.
Often TRUTH aids in the agendas of TPTB, often it doesn't. Might I suggest that instead of focusing on the 'black-and-white' application of TRUTH, to rather focus on POWER and how 'truth is used' by those in power to maintain the status quo?

"music groups who speak out against Israel’s atrocities are starting to form alliances with each other in an effort to counteract the campaign to silence them and destroy their careers, saying it shouldn’t be necessary to form an alliance in order to oppose an ongoing genocide."

This is and always has been the greatest battle between good and evil
