{“Why weren’t you so ragey about the civil war waged on Syrians by Assad about a decade ago, where far more were slaughtered than in Gaza right now?”}

To whomever put forth this question (I hope you're reading) please, please, please watch BOTH Charlie Rose interviews with Bashar Assad to learn the truth. I had friends in Allepo that confirmed every single thing he said, prior to the interview. It was our illustrious media who once again peddled pure their unadulterated bullshit! LISTEN to what he says and how he speaks. At no point does he NOT answer every single question directly! He doesn't equivocate one iota but especially in comparison to the American politicians. I jokingly said to my friends, Charlie went home and probably lambasted those who sent him - it was clear Assad wiped the floor with him. Every single thing Charlie asked him not only did he respond in great detail - he also proved the lies! I was a bit shocked how Charlie tried to bait him a few times but once again he had answers for every single allegation. There is a reason his approval rating at the time was over 80%.

Anyone that thinks Assad was the bad guy is either a MORON or a con artist empire minion..

Same as with Putin. Mainstream America can't think beyond the propaganda. I like him because I listen to what he says and read what he writes. He doesn't lie. Since all our politicians lie, they assume every other leader lies, too. I like Hamas, too. What were the Palestinians supposed to do, just lie down and die to accommodate the insane Jewish leadership?

Exactly ...they all go by stupid western propaganda as second hand ...if you listen to them at any length they are far more coherent and stately than the brain dead Biden

I expect he lies from time to time, but he mostly tells the truth, and his basic motivation is protecting his country, not starting wars all over the effing planet.

Expand full comment

He "omits" that's not necessarily lying...

The typical abusive personality mindset of the west is insist everyone else is truthful so they have a leg up on their lying... its the same in all abusive relationships where the abuser is attempting to make others its victim and only get all upset when they cant accomplish that with someone too powerful. SO they go on to demonize them to everyone else trying to sew discord ...this is how all abusers triangulate with each other to undermine others they cant manipulate and subvert to control.

Thank you Chaz! If you haven't watched the interviews I highly suggest doing so. I loved how Assad talked about how are media operates - when it comes to telling the truth and the extent of the egregious lies they spew! It was priceless. No matter how many times Charlie attempted to almost put words in his mouth - he was excruciatingly polite and simply stated the facts and had the evidence to back it up. He also shamed the USA which the Palestinians have also thankfully exposed to the entire world. One of the most important things he said was how there were hundreds if not thousands of terrorist organizations fighting for control as well.

I have watched some before years ago...the fact he sat at dinner with John Kerry and Kerry turned around to betray him has always made me despise Kerry in the most loathsome terms.

Expand full comment

Do tell this I missed.

Kerry is another scumbag - my greatest fear is he's about to resurface with Killery and replace Biden. Something is clearly festering - we're 9 months out and there's no talk of anyone but Biden? C'mon. Then Toria Nuland suddenly retiring? That's her moniker. I wonder if they have something on her? But her ties to Kerry and Killery are well known.

We're also heading into war so this is all about to explode. I think they will use it against Trump that's he not a war time President. Then today he really shot himself when he said he supported the genocide 100%. I always said he is far worse than Biden could ever be because of his son-in-law Jared and his ties to Israel. I wonder if he would run for PM?

Charlie Rose was a social climber with no depth. I've always known the facts about Bashar al-Assad. I saw George Galloway for the first time on Charlie Rose where he mopped the floor with Charlie. That's when I knew how great and fearless Galloway is. About Aaron Bushnell, his decision, explanation for it, was so perfect. I was moved by his action more than I could ever express. I can't think of anyone purer than he. Chris Hedges took the line of "supreme madness," but I say it was "supreme sanity" on Aaron's part. I will remember him forever.

Always grateful for Caitlin, and for Tim, too. Thanks, you guys, for being so smart and clear on Palestine.

Chris Hedges can some time get it wrong..he does come from the theist mindset and i think they believe all life is precious and to suicide even for such a cause goes against that..

He wasn't against what Aaron did...in fact he thought it was a great thing to do. Sorry is I gave that impression. Please read his article on this.

Expand full comment

depends on the theology. I was a bit jarred by seeing comments by some Muslims who applauded Bushnell's opposition to genocide while hoping God would forgive him for committing suicide. Christians differ on that too.

Why do you say that about Charlie? I ask with all due respect of course. I will say this, it was clearly what caused his downfall. It was almost embarrassing watching his interviews with A list celebrities. How he has never been able to see and or appreciate how these people couldn't possibly shine his shoes. Name one person this man has not spoken with or doesn't know? How many world leaders? No one will ever be able to surpass him and yet it seems he is hellbent on hanging out with the Hamptons crowd where he had/has a house and the allegations supposedly took place. It's so sad - never in history did we need him more to expose just how massive voter fraud is - or Covid or January 6th.

He interviewed the best and even though many a politician went on strictly to peddle their horseshit - you could see right through it. Tuckers Carlson theatrics are truly nauseating. And so many others make the interview all about them instead. Charlie asked a question and shut up, he never interrupted or fought with the guest like that imbecile Piers Morgan. CR was the only show I ever watched 25 years years ago when I still WATCHED TV.

I used to watch his show, but I don't remember him exposing much that was new despite being a talented interviewer. When you say "it was almost embarrassing watching his interviews with A list celebrities, isn't that the typical behavior of a social climber?

Expand full comment

Perhaps, yes, hence why I agreed!

But it's so sad, I highly doubt any of the celebrities he interviewed would even KNOW the people he has met. His desire to be with that crowd is heartbreaking - I have dealt with them throughout my career and I can't even stomach being in the same room let alone starting a conversation with them. Albeit Sigourney Weaver who truly is an intellect as was Joan Rivers - talk about well read, well informed, and scholarly versed.

We protest every day and will continue our protest for Palestine for many reasons and that doesn’t mean we were indifferent to the suffering in Syria. I abhor atrocities against innocent civilians everywhere. The issue of Palestine is a struggle of social justice against racism, apartheid and exploitation. This is especially so for all who understand the history of Zionism as a political ideology, and a very racist one indeed. Palestinians have experienced massacres and expulsion followed by 75 years of brutal occupation, oppression, dehumanization, unjustified arrests, endless detentions, torture land theft and murder at the hands of their occupiers, the Israelis. Palestinian children witness the arrest of their mothers, fathers and sometimes their small siblings, with no charge, no trial and no date of release. They live in situations where they can not travel on or even enter roads in their own land. People of Gaza have no option of leaving the war zone, because they are under blockade from land, sea and air. That means they live in concentration camp. People in west bank routinely face horrific violence, such as Israeli enter their home in the middle of the night and lock them in a room, sometimes they arrest boys and men, and other times they kick them out and bulldoze their homes, and do that to build illegal settlements for so called Israelis. Against this backdrop, Palestinians have been trying to preserve their land and culture. They are fighting colonialism at its most brutal form. And now the world leaders watch them be killed, maimed and starved to death and they aid Israel to complete its genocide of Gaza. In contrast the atrocities against Syrians were multi folds. CIA armed and supported the Kurds, Assad killed Syrians, Russia, the US and Turkey also all took part in the killing spree, while ISIL was beheading Yazidi, Shiite Muslims among others. Syrians’ suffering can not be underestimated or overlooked. However, let us not forget that Germany alone under Chancellor Angela Merkel accepted 1million Syrian refugees. In contrast, Palestinians are left to die from bombs, starvation, thirst and disease while most of the Western world is arming Israel, and cutting off Aid to Gaza. Added to this is the fact that what is happening in Palestine is a 100 year plans for ethnic cleansing and genocide of Palestinians, setting it apart from other sufferings in other countries . No one in position of power is acting to avert this genocide and many are aiding it. In addition to this being a profit war for weapons manufacturers, the US wants Israel to keep middle east unstable and Israel is the agent of chaos for the US interests. So a bit of context and history may clarify this for you. But most importantly, it is imperative for oppressed people to stand in solidarity with other oppressed people. So there is no reason for people who have suffered wars and famine to express antipathy towards other oppressed people. Long live Palestine, power to the people of Syria, Iran, Yaman, Iraq snd many more. Also power to people who are protesting injustice everywhere. The plight of Syrians should not erase the struggle of Palestinians or vise versa.

Oh God here's another we're all antisemites! Everyone hates the Jews everyone blames the Jews. Puh-leeze! I live in outside of NYC where there are millions of Jews in the metropolitan area. If we hate them so very much (it's such a tired and worn out excuse - invent something new) how come there's never any hate crimes? How come I live in an area where there are dozens of synagogues and Yeshiva's. On Saturday's you see hundreds of "Jews" walking to and from religious services and yet, yet, YET no hate crimes? How and why is that? I thought everyone hates the Jews? There are how many Jewish Hospitals in NYC and yet no incidents? Why might that be if all Jews are hated?

It wasn't until the entire world witnessed the carnage and barbarism in Gaza that we now know Israel is the new Nazi's! The entire world has stood in solidarity to stop the manslaughter and yet nothing deters them. When all is said and done ISRAEL and no one else will be responsible for removing Israel off the map!

Hopefully by the grace of God Caitlan will toss you off the island.

I normally would never reduce myself to someone of your low intellectual caliber that derives all of his news and information from the boob tube. For the record had you done your research (and nooooooooooooooow for my next joke) you would have learned Israel has invested a billion dollars in this propaganda campaign. So of course if the NYPD reports a 214% increase - you believe it - with no actual evidence or individual police reports. You should spend more time following the NY Post whose gone on an all out blitz when it comes to publicizing the worst and most egregious lies. The best are the El-Al airline pop-ups. They must be getting really desperate now that tourism no longer exists nor even will again and the entire economy is tanking!

If your look at your date of increased hate crimes - you will notice it was after ISRAEL began barbarically slaughtering almost a hundred thousand innocent civilians. If you also notice the protests are actually being sponsors by Jewish groups throughout the world so even the JEWS are against the Genocide and hate Israel.

Don't waste your time or mine or my fellow "Jew Haters" on this lovely newsletter by responding as I have no intention of hearing anything more and hopefully you will be expelled by then. Instead of spewing your bile here go back and watch TV! Shows like The View are just your intellectual speed.

Read John Funds books on voter fraud to learn just how rampant it is. You have a better chance of changing the weather by farting then changing government by voting.

Read the Motor Voter Act - no proof of citizenship required when registering to vote - so unless an election is contested (less than 1%) or someone turns the person in, millions upon millions of illegals are voting!

The rallying cry to GET THEM TO THE POLLS is that no one has ever been prosecuted for voter fraud and NOT that it isn't in fact rampant! It tantamount to saying no one has ever been "prosecuted" for drunk driving - not that it doesn't exist!

Don't lose hope Pat - the entire world is about to change and drastically. Thankfully for the better although sadly not without massive carnage and catastrophic destruction. - perhaps the worst being nuclear with players like the US and Israel and their desperation. The good news being the USA and it's hegemony is finished. If you listen to Putin's speeches and Orbin and even the Chinese President Xi Jinping, they are all calling for multipolarity and it going to come to fruition. Gaza has united the world but especially the Middle East. The US has began removing military bases that have now come under attack.

"The only reason the Israel Lobby is allowed to exist is because it advances US interests." WOW! With all respect, and I have a lot of it for the work you do, this is one thing you have terribly wrong. It isn't possibly to fully understand what is happening unless you know something of the history of the Lobby and the extent of its machinations. Plenty of people have provided an abundance of excellent research on the Lobby. You could do worse than to start with "Architects of Repression: How Israel and its Lobby put racism, violence and injustice at the center of US Middle East policy." There are plenty of examples of US economic and national security interests being directly undermined by Israel working through its Lobby. Have you even bothered to read "The Israel Lobby" by Walt and Mearsheimer? Good luck.

No you're just misunderstanding what's being said here. When we talk about "US interests" we're not talking about the American people or the US as a nation, we're talking about the globe-spanning empire that is loosely centralized around the US. What benefits the US *empire* is very frequently in conflict with what benefits the US *nation*, in many areas not just with Israel. Israel plays a very important role in maintaining the global hegemony of the US empire.

iZrael was in possession of Hamas' Oct 7th jail break plan a full year before.

The entire political/intelligence/military leadership read Hamas' plan.

**iZreal recognized that Hamas' written plan for Oct 7th could not succeed without iZrael's help.**

iZrael limited access to the information gained from monitoring Hamas' hand-held radio network to a select few insiders.

They had to ignore the alerts being sounded by border watchers.

They had to give a thumbs-down to written reports by intelligence officers

warning of an imminent Oct 7th (extraordinary, but this happened!).

*They had to remove the vast majority of the IDF troops surrounding Gaza just in time for Oct 7th.*

Once the jail break was under way support troops had to be delayed for hours. (They refuse to explain

why this happened, stating that they will "investigate" only after Hamas is defeated.)

They had to implement the Hannibal Directive in order to achieve maximum civilian casualties.

The confluence of too many huge failures and too many horrible decisions

to be a credible accident, it was premeditated. An Intentional Defense Failure (IDF).

ps, Cailtlin can't like this. I wonder why?

Your facts are all correct but why are you insulting Caitlan? The figure is actually down to 800 on 10-07 the vast majority slaughtered by the IDF. It has been reported (Ron Unz) that Hamas may've killed as little as 100 people (soldiers) that day. Their orders had been to capture and not kill as many as possible for bargaining. This was absolutely premediated to start the conflict

The silver bullet to kill the Beast.

To remain silent is to aid and assist the iZraelis.

The silver bullet to kill the Beast

has no value if people don't know of it.

The iZraelis forged the silver bullet themselves.

With premeditation they killed their own citizens, the social contract in iZrael is now

a ghost. But if iZraelis don't recognize as such, that the social contract is now no more than

ever a mere illusion, they will continue to behave as though it still exists.

With premeditation, through duplicity, they created incitement to Genocide and then proceeded

to carry it out. Is this the action of a state that claims to be part of the international community?

On what basis does it now claim to have "a right to exist"?

The claim is an affront to all logic.

"We trample and destroy our own social contract, through treachery we incite to Genocide,

we ignore all norms and carry out ethnic cleansing, intentional starvation and deprivation

and resort to Genocide. We have a right to exist."

To remain silent is to aid and assist the iZraelis.

"OTOH, to break the will of the Germans required carpet bombing Dresden and breaking the will of the tenacious Japanese required dropping "the bomb" on two Japanese cities."

Both acts were unnecessary and were evil and barbaric. Germany had already lost when civilians and only civilians were slaughtered. The two atomic bombs dropped on Japan were done so to kill civilians.

Wars should only be fought to preserve the nation. The United States has only fought one such war...The War of 1812

Lots of fun stuff in this podcast, Aaron’s secret to being more creative and productive rang so true not only to myself but every man on the planet I’m sure 😁😎 Caitlin’s take on babies is a classic, so hypothetically if some guy said he doesn’t think babies smell good would that make him a monster? 😇😇 so yeah lot’s to like, however my thoughts on n s t Israel are quite different, maybe at one time long long ago the U S was the dog wagging the tail but it is today the tail wagging the dog and most of us living in the United States of n s t Israel painfully understand this with absolute clarity of mind. I do believe that we can agree that the Palestinian People must have their land back from river to the sea ( without caveats of ANY kind ).

There must be a permanent ceasefire in Gaza in order to comply with the ICJ ruling. Not with Palestinians suffering under oppressive conditions, but as a place where all live with peace and equality. It is time for Pope Francis to do more than talk. He must go to Gaza and make a stand for peace and freedom.

The Plejaren extraterrestrial Ptaah and Billy Meier

Ptaah:

The strange world war that has been going on for the last two years, waged by completely unreasonable state leaders and their parts of the populations who are in favour of the wrong actions of their state leaders, do not know and also cannot imagine that a truly global war is imminent that will be as vicious, terribly destructive and devastating as never before in living memory.

This will be the case if the large number of unscrupulous, hateful and also partisan rulers of around 50 states – as well as the like-minded parts of their populations – continue to supply weapons, money etc. and also promises to Zelensky and he – who is truly acting on behalf of and protecting America – can wage his war, which will also incite Russia and above all Putin to do his worst.

You are clueless as to the real nature of who rules the world. Simplistic thinking.
