I understand that the WaPo retracted its claims almost immediately, without a fight. They knew full well that they were publishing 169% pure weapons-grade bullshit.

Doesn't matter, the damage is already done. This was without doubt entirely intentional. Sociopaths don't play fair.

Reuters has played it's own flavor of tricks today.

Reuters has declared, in it's own wormy way, that Israel is the legal authority of Gaza.

Main Headline at Reuters (as we speak):

**Diminished Hamas switches to full insurgent mode in Gaza**

I do not understand this..please explain?

Expand full comment

Israel has been illegally blockading Gaza which is Palestinian territory not Israeli.

Hamas is the elected ruling authority in Gaza. Hamas cannot be “insurgents”. They are indigenous forces resisting an external occupation army.

But Reuters and all them did the same when the west invaded Libya and Iraq and Afghanistan.

Reuters and WaPo anbd NYT, Guardian etc are colonial minstrel media.

Once, I would have agreed with you.

But now, after 60+ years of observing the USA and the cult that runs it, enlightened by Aaron Good's series "Empire and the Deep State": https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDAi0NdlN8hNArLl765PXe8tsTKmOciGL

(among others)

I cannot help but believe my father was conned into fighting a war for the American Oligarchy. He would be so pissed.

The Oligarchy manufactured WWII, just as it has manufactured every war since. Russia sought peace and a mutual security arrangement for over 30 years. The American Oligarchy wanted Empire. This is the same Oligarchy that has repeatedly stolen the wealth Americans have accumulated and which now dooms the generations following the Boomers to poverty.

As a Boomer, all I can say in my defense is, "I had no idea."

The series - judging by the titles - only confirms that THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN knows no bounds and is therefore being revealed to the whole world.

At the same time it confirms the temporary effectiveness of flooding the information zone at the price of false comfort, convenience and security for THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN.

I have seen plenty of "debunking" by the very disciples of THE SYNAGOGUE OF MAKE BELIEVE ... I have not seen this one. And most likely I am not going to waste time to see another dimwit trying to disprove REALITY.

All those "control mechanism" freaks have simply convinced themselves/have been convinced (who knows how much of an active part the particular mind plays in it) that you can prove a NEGATIVE - which in and of itself is a LOGICAL FALLACY. Which tells me from the outset that these minds falling for this LOGICAL FALLACY for all sorts of reasons - the major one being, that they love THEIR SIN - all no match to THE BIBLE.

The only purpose of spending time at this sort of.... is observing some aspects of how RELIGION is been allowed by GOD ALMIGHTY to be used by THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN for its purposes, but always within the bounds of SERVITUDE TO GOD ALMIGHTY'S WISDOM MIGHT GRACE AND PURPOSE - the book of Job is a good read in this regard. On the other hand THE BIBLE offers this insight as well - and in a much more concise broad deep way - so no need to panic. You would know this if you hadn't spend time wasting it with BRAINWASHING AND INDOCTRINATION by the gospel of THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN.

BTW - I don't believe IN SATAN I know that he exists. A BIG DIFFERENCE of which any HONEST reader of THE BIBLE becomes aware when THE HOLY SPIRIT has made him ready for it.

Thank you for revealing your true insanity to anyone with a functioning braincell.

You did it better than I ever could.

It doesn't occur to you of course, that you sound identical to the lunacy coming out of the state called "Israel", because to a lunatic their irreason sounds reasonable.

I don't care if you refuse to watch anything intelligent, because someone who quotes the idiotic bible as the source of their "wisdom" has aleady revealed they don't have any.

Go and intellectually masturbate to your psychotic, genocide & rape filled camel-fucking "holy book", and let people with braincells run the Real World.

It's just a crying shame the civilised world can't just cut you Americans off, with your poor education systems (You are Specimen #1) and "Exceptionalism".

Hey - here's a thought, "Satan" invented the internet. So you'd better leave quickly!!

You are literally the very same, demonic force that you attempt to project onto everyone else. If your country is disarmed and de-nazified, and you survive the process (probably unlikely, considering how unstable you are), and reach 80+, perhaps by then you'll be able to see the young man and his foolishness that you are now.

How do you know me?

"Hey - here's a thought, "Satan" invented the internet. So you'd better leave quickly!!" - as I explained to you before. SATAN has to ask GOD ALMIGHTY for permission in order to be allowed to possess a mind. SATAN is always on the lookout for prey to be devoured by his wickedness and depravity as put on display in your comments. I am perfectly aware of the state of mind you are in. And let me tell you these are just the beginnings … look at the wicked and depraved minds cutting off their dick or titts claiming they are something else than as the ones GOD ALMIGHTY CREATED them as. Or the "gender mafia", if you prefer this state of mind you are on the path towards it. I would recommend to you a 180° turn, no matter how hard and humiliating this might feel.

********

"You are literally the very same, demonic force that you attempt to project onto everyone else." - being told about REALITY has never been a pleasent endeavour for THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN.

********

"If your country is disarmed and de-nazified, and you survive the process (probably unlikely, considering how unstable you are), and reach 80+,..." - what my country and what about my age and what about my "stability"?

" … perhaps by then you'll be able to see the young man and his foolishness that you are now."

Man's "wisdom" is foolishness to GOD ALMIGHTY and GOD ALMIGHTY'S "greatest foolishness" is wiser than all man can ever be!

Who is holding the Israeli government hostage?

https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog-june-01-2024/

///// <BLOCKQUOTE>

Following warnings from ultranationalist ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gvir that they will quit the government should Israel move ahead with the latest proposal for a hostage release and ceasefire deal, Opposition Leader Yair Lapid slams them for making threats which “abandon national security, the hostages, and the residents of the north and the south.”

“This is the worst and most wanton government in the country’s history,” he continues. “As far as they’re concerned, there could be war here forever.”

Earlier Saturday, Lapid said Israel “must do this deal, now… before the hostages die there [in Gaza].”

No ceasefire because of Finance Minister (and head of West Bank settlement development) Bezalel Smotrich.

May 16, 2017

///// <BLOCKQUOTE>

At a gathering of religious Zionist public figures two weeks ago, [then] Deputy Knesset Speaker Betzalel Smotrich

talked about his diplomatic plan, which he dubbed “The subjugation plan.”

The purpose of the plan, he said, was “to erase all Palestinian national hope.”

Under the plan, the Palestinians will be given three choices – to leave the country; to live in Israel

with the status of “resident alien,” because, as Smotrich made sure to note,

“according to Jewish law there must always be some inferiority,” or to resist,

“and then the Israel Defense Forces will know what to do.”

When the deputy Knesset speaker was asked if he intended to wipe out whole families, including women and children,

Smotrich replied, “In war, as in war.”

Smotrich presented the Book of Joshua as the source for his remarks.

According to the Midrash, Joshua sent the residents of the land of Canaan three letters

in which he set out the three aforementioned conditions. Maimonides explains that if the non-Jews

do not flee, they must have limitations imposed on them

“so they should be despised and lowly, and not raise their heads in Israel.”

If they resist, he says, “not a soul must be left among them” – in other words, kill them all.

Now that was a clear message that free speech is dead. Scott's trademark going all the way back to Iraq.

One of his first visits as leader of the USA, President-in-Waiting, leader of a genocidal state whose actions in the starvation of Palestinians is also likely to lead the starvation of whatever hostages from Israel are still left alive due to the indiscriminate bombing of hospitals, schools, etc. Does he care? Hardly. All part of the grand plan as he clutches the USA's vitals in one hand and applies the pressure while in most other white lands, the leaders sing his praises and plan for yet another venture under the NATO banner against Russia. On it goes.

What a future . All the good works of Assange, along with Ellsberg, Ritter, Snowdon and so many other true blue American truth tellers, now flushed down the drain.

Twenty-five years ago, I was the director of a non-profit in DC working on the immigration issue. Three times, I handed reporters at the Washington Post stories about which they expressed initial enthusiasm. Three times, an editor(s) at the Post killed the story. All three times, I pursued the story by other means. All three times, the stories later became national news.

One was the Jack Abramoff scandal eventually leading to the incarceration of both Abramoff (the top lobbyist in DC at the time) and the director of the OMB, David Safavian.

Another was the massive immigration fraud centered in a kosher slaughterhouse in Postville, Iowa, eventually raided and shut down in the biggest immigration raid in US history and the incarceration of the son of the owner, Aaron Rubashkin (later pardoned by Donald Trump while Julian Assange remains in solitary confinement).

The third was the money-laundering and bribe-taking activities of a Republican member of Congress from Utah and on the immigration subcommittee in the House, who ended up avoiding prison thanks to the intercession of the WSJ, but lost his seat.

In other words, for the sake of the interests of the Judaic cabal--for whom continued mass immigration is *the* non-negotiable--the Washington Post was more than willing to forego what we would consider the normal, necessary, and presumed function of the press in free market democracy.

"NATO is both (A) preparing for hot war with Russia and (B) rapidly taking numerous steps to provoke such a war. They’re currently developing “land corridors” for a direct ground war with Russia while simultaneously moving to allow Ukraine to strike deeper and deeper into mainland Russia with NATO-supplied weapons. These escalations would have been unthinkable just a few years ago, but nuclear brinkmanship has become so normalized for us in 2024 that it now barely makes a blip in the discourse."

Jenny Stokes - here is a little dose of reality for you:

(1) Europe has been at war for over a 1,000 years

(2) Europe started World Wars I & II

(3) Europe colonized (and genocided) many parts of the world

(4) Europeans were the ones that invaded/conquered/colonized the Americas

(5) Europe is the originator of true anti-semitism

(6) Europe created the Israel-Palestine problem

(7) Europe created the India-Pakistan problem

(8) Should I go on... ?

One could make the argument that "original sin" lies with Europe.

You bring up a ton of issues, which for similar reasons I probably don't want to attempt to address right now; escapism? Probably yes. When I was much younger, life seemed so beautiful, back in the day when butterflies were still plentiful I could lay down in the grass and within minutes I'd have an entire congregation of butterflies, resting on top of blades of grass next to me.

Birds would actually fly around me, as though, some how it was the cover of one of those "born again", religious free handouts, and I would think to myself, 'how difficult can it be?'

Then I met everyone else's reality. I don't know; it's all in the mind. Obviously, some people are extremely ill, so they kill what I would assume were generally happy people; the Palestinians.

These people with their diseased minds think that they can steal happiness? Or maybe they've already destroyed their lives and now run to the others who haven't? Getting to heaven is easy, staying there in a highly diseased world is the hard part.

" Getting to heaven is easy, staying there in a highly diseased world is the hard part.", with which I PARTIALLY don't disagree ... but in principle I do disagree.

It's all in our own minds; I wasn't even three months old when my mother put her hands around my neck and said, " if you cry one more time I'll wring your effing neck", I lived in fear every day of my life, until I could talk. My first word was Mama, because I thought for sure that she'd let me die if I said otherwise. Shortly after that the nightly beatings from my father's army belt began. My mother would demand and nag my father to beat us, my sibling and myself, until he finally gave in and came into our room and beat the both of us. Afterwards, my mother would come in and tell us what a bad man he was for having beat us. This went on for about a decade; then in desperation we devised a plan to lessen the pain; we can't laugh and cry at the same time, so for the next beating, we laughed and laughed harder the harder he hit us until he threw down his belt in frustration. My parents separated a few days later and shortly thereafter were divorced.

I really don't know how to address your concerns; there's nothing about religion anywhere in here; it's just you, yourself and I. That is where your god lives; deep within the privacy of your mind; if you need to create a fantasy world within your mind to find happiness, then do so; nobody needs to know but you, and if you can find happiness within yourself; your beautiful soul will shine like a star in the night's dark sky, and that other mind within your full mind, will discover you, and hence forth, with continued effort you will never be totally alone and will forever enjoy a sort of happiness that no one can ever take away from you. That's the true meaning of being "born again", it has nothing to do with religion, but your happiness. If you can do that; then you too can be on the cover of "this time around".

Is A perfect example of what the issue is. Man's - especially EVE'S - incapability of accepting GOD ALMIGHTY'S WISDOM MIGHT GRACE AND PURPOSE - let's call it suffering. Had your mother wrung your neck and "achieved" her desired result of quietness she would have been relieved for the IMMEDIATE moment, but considering the HOLINESS of our existence she would have regretted it for the rest of her - let's call it for the sake of argument - life. You see the impatience of man's mind - especially EVE'S, based on her function in GOD ALMIGHTY'S CREATION, incapability to look beyond the immediate "survival" let alone GOD ALMIGHTY'S WISDOM MIGHT GRACE AND PURPOSE - provokes/urges/compells the mind into actions that in THE LIGHT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT are called wicked, depraved, atrocious… To let forgo immediate gratification for THE COUNSEL OF GOD ALMIGHTY through THE HOLY SPIRIT. And I am not speaking of some "philosophical" treaties or anything like that. I am talking about physiological mechanisms of our brains. And I am not going to specify any particular aspect beyond what I have already said, as I believe it would violate the sacred principal of ANY UNDERSTANDING. Because understanding is created due to context and not based on facts alone. Anyone that has read a book more than once can attest to that, that no matter how often you have read a book with each reading it is new again. As our continued history continuously changes the meaning of each word and more so the meaning of collections of words - called books - which themselves already create their own context.

And THE COUNSEL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT is vividly expressed in the phrases: The morning is wiser than the evening (before the morning) or With age comes (man's) "wisdom" (if at all, as witnessed all over the world). Have you ever asked WHO is providing this "wisdom". So I came across the physiological mechanism I mentioned before - I must say I wasn't aware that I would do or didn't start to write this comment with the intention to talk about it - due to the path of my whole existence but especially over the last 53 month, without consciously looking for it. I was watching a video of a medical doctor explaining something completely "unrelated" (nothing is unrelated in GOD ALMIGHTY'S CREATION) to our conversation here and while watching it it fell like scales from my mental eyes. It's a minor tidbit in worldly terms, but no puzzle can ever be finished with the tiniest piece missing. Which is why each and everyone has to allow his ego to be humbled by GOD ALMIGHTY'S WISDOM MIGHT GRACE AND PURPOSE in order to be lifted up, whenever GOD ALMIGHTY sees fit.

And RELIGION - contrary to CULT - is fundamental in this regard. And THE LORD JESUS CHRIST is THE CORNERSTONE that the WORLDLY builders have thrown away/ are continuing to throw away - cheered on by EVE - in their worldly foolishness - preaching the poisonous gospel of "liberty, freedom and happiness".

*******

"My mother would demand and nag my father to beat us, …" and your father was too weak - for the reasons described in the previous paragraph - to stand up to his wife - his helper - and becoming the servant to her. EVE compelling ADAM to be submissive to THE WORLD/EVE instead of GOD ALMIGHTY'S WISDOM MIGHT GRACE AND PURPOSE. Had your father be compelled by GOD ALMIGHTY'S WISDOM MIGHT GRACE AND PURPOSE to chastise you for your behaviour, that would be a different story, which doesn't mean he would not regret it, but he would have made sure to have done the utmost to be HOWEVER ERRONEOUS on GOD ALMIGHTY'S PATH.

********

"My parents separated a few days later and shortly thereafter were divorced." - that's the inevitable outcome. But it is nothing short of CONTINUING THE SELF-DECEPTION - called the "My existence has nothing to do with GOD ALMIGHTY delusion" (having had it inception through EVE in THE GARDEN OF EDEN), while it actually has EVERYTHING to do with GOD ALMIGHTY - by TRYING TO run away from one's own FALLEN STATE, which can only be fixed by GOD ALMIGHTY.

*******

ANY delusion of happiness - the worldly FALLACIOUS mirror image of THE HOLY SPIRIT - will not last forever - remember what I stated in the first paragraph of my comment - and to which any drug addict can vividly attest to. Which is why the only advice I am comfortable to give to ANYONE - TAKE HEED!

SOLI DEO GLORIA!

Ya know in some strange way I could see a time in which the WP & NYT's editorial staff and management could be in front of a jurist panel (a la Nuremburg) defending themselves for crimes against humanity charges. Crazy no? Pax

It will take a lot more than talk to make that happen.

We must remember it's all projection.

The Global Majority's tolerance for information paid for by the US has made disinformation one of the most critical threats to the Global Majority's sovereignty. US support for ostensibly independent publications give the US deniability for disinformation (think Russiagate) as well as protection from internet platforms labelling the output as coming from US sponsored outlets.

The WaPo smear comes at a time when another US propaganda fueled color revolution in Georgia just failed.

Thank you russian_bot for sharing this link. It is good to know that Georgia won't fall into the same trap as Ukraine.

Georgians who did a marvellous production of Bertolt Brecht's Caucasian Chalk Circle - which we saw ages ago - are sure to have more brains than Ukraine.

I plan to watch Max and his cohort from The Grayzone later today on Judging Freedom to see what this is all about and find out what the plan is going forward as this has implications across the media world within the U.S. right now. Between confiscating passports unlawfully (allegedly) of public figures who have been speaking out against U.S. policies in Ukraine, and now this, the U.S. is openly and quickly heading down the downhill path to outright fascism long before Trump even makes it through the RNC. Is this the plan now? Is Biden so desperate to win that he is willing to lock down the country against purported dissidents ahead of November? How are the democrats any different than the republicans in their ideology? The only thing I see is the methodology. We don't have to worry about Trump turning the U.S. into an autocratic oligarchy, we are already there. We just didn't see it coming.

>>Caitlin says "I’m still getting Trump supporters telling me he’s been ending the wars and fighting the deep state."

We have quite a few Trump apologists in this substack itself that have bought this fiction. Thank you Caitlin Johnstone for your objectivity and ability to cut through all the bullshit and tell it like it is.

In the US, with the 1917 and 1918 Espionage and Sedition Acts, it is clear that 'free speech' has very hard boundaries.

Exactly. There are two kinds of speech: free and controlled.
