If an ethnic group is powerful enough to bring the world to the brink of nuclear war, powerful enough to make us fight wars for them, then that ethnic group must have their power confiscated from them.
Israel is tearing America apart. It is insane how many traitors live in America. They'd sacrit8ce a million Americans as long as they could keep their zionist paradise
I appreciate your sentiment, but Israel does not want ‘peace’ with the Palestinians. Israel is a settler-colonial state with a single-minded aim: to eliminate all Palestinian presence from all of historic Palestine to secure a ‘racially pure’ Jewish state—the cult-state of Israel considers Jewishness to be race. All past ‘negotiations’ were only stalling tactics and image-making to help Israel look ‘reasonable’ to the rest of the world. And look how successful this has been. Anyone who could stop Israel’s settler-colonialism has been actively helping and enabling it.
Y do u talk about Israel while ignoring "the Elephant in the room"?!🐘 Israel would be pathetic with out the good ol' USA!!(Everyone has "gone mad". The Human race is deranged.)
Of course. Please read my latest essay: https://avigail.substack.com/ and beyond. Israel would not exist first without the UK, and for the past seven decades without the US.
Filthy Germany and their pathetic "guilty" complex. Idiotic nation of good professionals with zero morality, compassion, critical, or any kind of thinking skills.
Israel is a US proxy, like Ukraine is. Brought up to hate and despise brown people in the same way the Azov were armed and trained to attack Russian speakers.
The deep state (mainly US interests in fossil fuels, arms, pharma, animal ag, banking and tech) control the mainstream media and parts of the conditioning pervades into alternative media too, like this being Israel's war.
Maybe putting it another way might clarify my thoughts.... Here goes.... perhaps AIPAC, or Jewish lobbies make significant contributions to U.S. legislators so that Israel is well represented in legislative decisions, hence becoming the proxy of Israeli interests ?
If the Jewish lobbies have money in big oil, animal ag, arms, tech and pharma then yes they get to be part of the group that makes decisions regarding the control of the Middle East and the US's base unsinkable aircraft carrier there.
Well, Israel can't do anything without US backing, so the US can't be a proxy. The US has also been planning war with Iran for decades it's all documented.
To force Putin to denazify and into the SMO and thus war, same as Israel forced Palestine and Iran to retaliate. To weaken them and gain control of resources, to weaken China.
These lobbies should be dismantled, they should never have been allowed such power.
I find it amazing that they pay off politicians with American taxes sent to let Israelus have free healthcare when Amercans Don't get the same privilege
The Supreme Kangaroo Court has ruled that money is “free speech” protected by the Constitution. Logically, bribery is also protected, if it’s done “properly”.
Absolutely right. Without the money and arms sent by the US, Israelis would have had to get over themselves a lot quicker, or go back to Europe and the USA.
"Given during the UK mandate"..... Not sure I understand "UK mandate"... but my point was that perhaps the UK mandators were handsomely and privately PAID ...??? which is the probable practice now, so why not Then?
Lord Balfour signed the Balfour Declaration in 1917 in which he maintained that a homeland for the Jews was more important than what the local Arabs thought about it. So racism and colonialism as usual.
There is no racially pure Israeli on this earth, they are all a hodge podge of so many countries they can't ever be called pure.
However, Palestinians can claim, validly, that they have eth ic purity going back at least 3,000 years. Israel's claim cannot touch anywhere near 300 three hundred years. They claim six million Jews were killed in the holocaust, that would mean almost all the jews of the planet were in Germany, Poland and France.
You’re absolutely right. The entire idea of a Jewish ‘race’ is absurd and racialism should have already disappeared anyway. But Israel continues to define Jewishness by race regardless of how little sense this makes. I have written about it quite extensively in some of my essays. Israel has been hiding genetic data that demonstrate that its Jewish citizens have no genetic origins in the Eastern Basin of the Mediterranean.
I was born in Israel, and Israel considers me Jewish (I don’t) and I have no DNA from that region. My entire DNA is from Western Europe with just under 1% Neanderthal. I am likely descended from people who converted into Judaism at some point in their history. Although my closer ancestors were not religious they were considered ‘racially’ Jewish by racially-driven Europe.
While the rest of the world has finally abandoned the idea of race ‘science’, in Israel racialism is alive and well and is the main factor determines people’s identity. In Israel there is only one distinction that matters: Jews and non-Jews… It’s insane and incredibly primitive.
More interestingly yet, it is likely that the Palestinians are the descendents of the original Jews of the area, if we look at the order of arrival of the three Abrahamic faiths in the region - first Judaism, then Christianity then Islam. When some Jews fled elsewere, they stayed..... It makes what the Israelis are currently doing all the more wrong and wicked.
Yes, you are right. But eliminating all Palestinian presence is not the only aim. Israël wants to create a much greater Apartheid State. If not, why bombing Libanon, Syria, even Iran ?
To make space to dump millions of Palestinians from the West Bank and Israel itself. Israel can’t murder millions (there are ~6 million Palestinians between Gaza, the colonised WB and the Palestinian citizens of Israel. They’ll kill as many as they can manage and are allowed to get away with. But there is nowhere for the millions of expelled survivors to go, so Israel is clearing territories in US controlled Syria and in Lebanon. They are actually doing deals right now with the Syrian government to remove Syrian citizens from where they are and relocate them from areas Israel wants.
The US is fully aware of this, as it is of everything else Israel is doing, and it is directly helping Israel. The Israeli media are complaining right now that the US has not yet given them bunker busting bombs that they want in order to destroy underground nuclear facilities in Iran. But the US is already giving them everything else.
Israel is by no means alone in what it’s doing and the US is not doing anything and never has done anything that hasn’t served its own interests. In return for helping Israel subdue Iran, (which Israel wants not because Iran has ever been a threat to Israel, but because Iran supports the Palestinians) the US will get control of Iranian oil fields.
The US economy is not exactly going well under Trump’s chaotic regime. So once again pillaging another country’s resources is what the US’s solution. It’s all pretty straightforward. You just need to understand Israel and the US properly. They are always repeating the same patterns. There is nothing new with those two disgusting settler-colonial countries. The rest of the world just has to stop playing ball and pandering to Israel and the US, if we actually want world peace… We need a world where murderous criminally insane bullies are not in charge.
Caitlin knows this very well. As does anyone who does research outside of the comfortable propaganda chambers of Western media. I think she was being dryly sarcastic, pretending to occupy the perspective of a liberal NYT junkie... It's kind of the only way to engage these days. Sincerity is a bloated corpse.
True on reread. Her points are also technically true. The things she does not specifically mention are poignantly present for you and me, but not for everyone. The lie of the American dream, the fundamental unshakeable ethno supremest aims of the Zionist Entity, the unbearable destruction wrought by unrestricted capital accumulation and the grotesque merger of global corporate interests with "democracy." Etc.
I think calling Israel the Zionist Entity is part of the conditioning. It implies that it is self-sufficient, self-governing and could exist independently to the US umbilicus. Nothing could be further from the truth.
That would suggest israel was ever not a state of the Union. We in the u.s. consider israel #1 importance. We want to go to Heaven and the only way to Heaven is if we get all the Jewish people to move to Palestine home of Jesus then ask them to convert to Zionist Christianity. Then poof we all go to the clouds? Or low Earth orbit, Galaxies far, far away?
IsRealHell conceived in 1904 with Theodor Herzl and Wilhelm II 1898, planned by the picot-sikes agreement 1916, approved by the Balfour Declaration 1917, with finial implementation with the Nakba 1948….. then there’s the redline agreement of 1928 and the Kirkuk–Haifa oil pipeline 1934 and now the Gaza Marine gas field 1999
The DNA doesn’t lie! The John Hopkins Genetic Studies and the New York Genome Centre studies concluded that 97.5% of the “Judaica” living in the Zionist settlement known as Israel have no connection to the ancient Hebrews and neither do they have blood ties to ancient Israel. The study also pointed out that 80% of Palestinians carry ancient Hebrew DNA and blood.
Another study (New York Genome Centre, 2021) revealed that the DNA of modern Palestinians matches that of Bronze Age people who lived in the Holy Land around 2500-1700 BCE.
A third study (John Hopkins School of Public Health) strongly backed the Khazarian Hypothesis, as opposed to the Rhineland Hypothesis of European Jewish (Ashkenazi) origin.
There is more…a fourth nail. In Nov. 20, 2022, the Times of Israel published an article about a study of Israeli DNA conducted by Prof. Shai Carmi. The newspaper quoted Prof. Carmi: “Given that no DNA sequences existed for historical Ashkenazi Jewry, we sought to generate ancient DNA dates for this population. Our hope was to fill the gaps in our understanding of Ashkenazi Jewish early history.” The professor admitted inventing DNA sequences for Israelis. Why not? When you invent a country over an existing country, inventing DNA is a child’s play.
Except in special circumstances, Israelis are not to have their DNA checked. One wonders why.
Neither Trump nor Netanyahu wanted to avoid this war. The US has been going on about Iran for decades. They pretend they want to do things like liberating Iranian women while never discussing the people, including women, in the US who need to be liberated.
I totally agree with that. People seem to dismiss the idea that the core business of the United States is War! While China, Russia and others are looking to coexist with others and wanting to do business with others, The United States has offshored its business leaving primarily its war machine in tack.
It is something former US President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned the country about as far back as 1959 when he warned the Nation about the Military Industrial Complex (MIC). So now you have a Nation that is beholden to its defense contractors who lobby those in Washington and the Media. They get to build War equipment for the US and the US sells it to the highest bidder around the world. A 1 Trillion dollar a year budget that continues to grow is set aside for the MIC. With that type of budget you need to create and maintain enemies to justify that budget.
They spelled this out very clearly at the end of the last century in their PNAC document, and either the "Pearl Harbor-like" event (spelled out in the manifesto) just fell into their laps or they engineered it. I consider the latter to be more probable. Whatever, their Project For A New American Century launched us on the path to permanent war.
Americans, you’re getting sicker and poorer as your government deprives you of even the bare minimum social safety nets people in other countries get to have while sending in the marines to quash protests in LA--
Such is the nature of American "exceptionalism."
When Israel started bombing Iran I wrote a piece joking that The New York Times was about to publish a bunch of articles about antisemitism and what an innocent little victim Israel is. Today, as a nightmare military conflict unfolds that Israel started without any provocation whatsoever, The New York Times editorial board has published an article titled “Antisemitism Is an Urgent Problem. Too Many People Are Making Excuses."--
Of course NYTimes has published such, its biases and hypocrises are an URGENT PROBLEM.
Democracy, as a practical matter, is basically an exercise in passing the buck, in avoiding responsibility. Everyone in power claims to answer to and derive their authority from someone else, going ultimately back to "the people" who themselves do not directly exercise power, and who would find it difficult to exercise as a collective action problem, even if they had the formal authority to do so. The technical term for this is a "beard".
What this means is that real power is often in the hands of unelected bureaucrats, who typically don't even want to stand for election because they don't want the voters to know what their programs are, much less to exercise any oversight. Robert Moses is the classic example here.
Even that minimal level of scrutiny is too much for some, and real power is often exercised by people not formally part of any government structure. Corporate lobbyists or Robert Kagan come to mind .
It is an old system of separated control and responsibility. The elites have ALL control while the ordinary people have ALL responsibility. That is how everything functions in the "western democracies". A$$holes in charge are never accountable.
What you describe is certainly the status quo. In "democracies" so huge, it is probably "practical" to expect no more than bread and circuses, if those.
I cannot understand what normal self-respecting human still reads/listens to USSA propaganda (newspapers, magazines or cable TV). It is 100% propaganda, manipulations, and lies.
My car with Aluminum rims fell into a pothole while we spend Billions to murder Palestinians. I am sure the Palestinians would rather I not have to buy a new rim and tire. Chaos abounds.
Of course IF Iran doesn't leave israel as dark as Gaza, Jordan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia are next on the list. Something fun from Little Marco begging the Russians to accept a ceasefire so we can take their oil later. https://ru.usembassy.gov/russia-national-day-2/
You don't go far enough here Caitlin. Everything you put down here is right but missing a very important context.
The American Government is under control of a "Jewish Mafia".
People don't want to address this because they don't want to be called anti-Semites. Well, Aaron Mate, Max Blumenthal, Katie Halper, Norman Finkelstein and others are all Jews and they say that this is "true".
It is a lot of work, but you have to go back to understanding who Meyer Lansky was. He founded "Murder Incorporated" in the 1930's. The US government turned to him to control the waterfront against German invasion during WWII. He received a Presidential Medal of Freedom from Truman in a secret White House ceremony. He founded Las Vegas to launder drug money.
I realize this sounds totally anti-Semitic, but it is anti "Jewish Mafia". Not all Jews are members of that Mafia. Wilkerson stated that the reason Clinton won against GHWB was because of the "Jewish Mafia."
Now we're talking about nearly 100 years of the USA being dominated by the "Jewish Mafia" and just a few references shouldn't be enough to convince you that the sun is going to rise in the East. However, if you pay attention to Aaron Good and his 24 part YouTube series "Empire and the Deep State", you'll start to realize that the "jewish mafia" is a real thing. They assassinated JFK. They promoted the Bay of Pigs. (not all by themselves of course)
Biden's SoS, Anthony Blinken is a member. Victoria Nuland the coordinator of the 2014 Madian coup that lead to the current war in Ukraine is a member. I could go on and on, but you have to find this stuff out for yourself.
These people are the reason we are at war with Iran right now. We MUST remove them from power. We must not listen to their accusations of anti-Semitism because we are actually anti-crime!
I wish I knew how to put this across without sounding hysterical.
The thinkers you mention are largely excellent, and I believe some would take issue with your claim as well. The Israel Lobby is real, but those with power in the US would not tolerate the annoyances without some significant ongoing self-enrichment... even a mechanically reinforced tail could not both wag the dog and stay attached.
The more fundamental domain here is capital. Global corporate interests, merged grotesquely with states, moving as zombies. Forcefully molding new markets as they self-cannibalize. Desperate to maintain profit margins despite dwindling opportunities to exploit natural resources and their peoples.
In this case, Israeli military and AI tech is deeply important to those efforts, as is the ongoing potential for regional operations to maintain the same goals, again. Perhaps it's the Belt and Road initiative's critical components within Iran at the heart of this chapter. Perhaps not. But it's always back to money and power one way or another.
FWIW: were I to have any doubt as to the stance these "thinkers" would take, I would not have mentioned them.
Your metaphor kind of escapes me, but if you are saying "wag the dog" is ridiculous, absolutely. Israel is nothing more than a proxy for the furtherance of American imperialism (hegemony). But you need to understand who the American Oligarchy is. Do a poll of US Billionaires. Finkelstein explained to me that Jews are "overrepresented" in that group.
Capital has become a synonym for "Jewish Mafia". I have no objection to what you say about "capital" other than the fact that you don't acknowledge who it is that (mostly) controls capital.
Read this WaPo article on those Billionaires who threatened American universities. All members of the "Jewish Mafia", but also "American captains of industry". https://archive.ph/u8RUt#selection-773.76-773.92
Your last paragraph makes no sense (to me). Your attempt to drag China into this quagmire is disingenuous. China is not seeking hegemony over anyone. The BRI provides real economic incentives to other nations. It isn't the phony gifts that Perkins outlined in his "Confessions of an Economic Hitman".
Whitney Webb's "One Nation Under Blackmail" describes what you refer to in excruciating detail. The book was mentioned in this blog numerous times by many over the years.
I don't recall Caitlin referencing it ever, though I could have missed it.
The Zionist Right (by which we now mean Zionism in general) always knew that they would need war with Iran as a pretext to completely annex the West Bank and purge the occupied territories but that would always involve the direct complicity of US Imperialism which was a big ask - until now. For all that the US and British governments have armed, facilitated and financed Zionist crimes, that now include Zionist genocide, right down the line, full on support for ethnic cleansing on that level was never on the agenda until Adolf Hitler's stunt double arrived in the White House. Ergo, when (as revealed by Wiki-leaks) the Saudis tried to finance an Israeli attack on Iran, with the intent of facilitating regime change, even the Zionists turned them down for fear of antagonising their Imperialist enablers and sponsors. With the US standing full square behind genocide in Gaza and the West bank this is no longer the case. Indeed no sooner had David Lammy and the British government issued token sanctions against TWO Israeli Cabinet ministers (while continuing to help facilitate the genocide) than the US trashed the nuclear negotiations and gave full on Israel attacks on Iran the thumbs-up. The focus now, including that of the media, is on an Iran-Zionist conflict in which Israel is framed as the vulnerable party and nobody knows how many Palestinians have since been killed because nobody is reporting the side-show of genocide any more.
It is all avoidable because all that the Jews who returned to Palestine needed to do was to live WITH the local Arab population. But no, that wouldn't have earned them Uncle Sam's coin in perpetuity, neither would it have allowed Israelis to reenact the Nazi persecutions, only with themselves as the perpetrators this time. Gotta love that whitey social dominance orientation - NOT.
Why do you say "the Jews who returned to Palestine" ? That's zionism propaganda. The Jews who came to Palestine were welcomed and should have integrated practising the ''vivre-ensemble". You know they did not.
Many (most?) of the Jews in Palestine came from Poland and other areas close to Ukraine. The holocaust survivors from the camps were used as cannon fodder and sent to fight the local enemies.
Unfortunately for the USA readers and supporters of Caitlyn's work, we already do live in a nation so reviled and hated that people would love to see us getting hit. Not so yet on 9/11, but we've checked off every box since then that would illicit such a response this time around. There wasn't a playbook in existence that was full of more sheer stupidity, malfeasance, greed, immorality, and hubris than the one this government has been following under the uni-party of war, IMHO. Not the American people, but the government. The welfare of the American people is nothing but an empty campaign slogan.
Ugh, I agree with the false flag. Put it on a timer, something really awful is about to happen, and it will be packaged as anti-western Islamic fundamentalism.
The dying US empire is desperate to hold history or at least turn it in their favor. The capitalist class is fighting each other, using the very people they exploit shamelessly and make one group pointing the finger at the other.
Just in the end the capitalist class stays together as one the moment people claim their rights in the workplace, their right to social dignity and participation in society.
When the decline of the rate of profit starts to threaten the capital interests, they have only one way out and that's war! Send the people to war and distract them from their own fight against us.
This game has been played by kings, popes and by the Rothschilds, Fuggers and numerous others.
After the french revolution with the rise of the industrialization, the wars had to become sooner, bigger and more devastating.
To narrow it down to names of certain politician or even countries is missing the point.
In my opinion we see a struggle of the systems, how do we want to live(?) by means like China, a power that builds and constructs by the people for the people or by the western system, that destroys, leeches on the resources of others around the globe and promotes individualism - everyone for themself against all others?
I have always lived under governments that could tolerate criticism. Opposition was allowed, people were sufficiently respected to think for themselves, loonies were laughed at. I have never had to fear that I might be disappeared, or tortured, that my front door might be smashed in, that I could be kidnapped in broad daylight, that even if I was innocent I would always be vulnerable. Violent coups, civil wars, and being ruled by thugs who consider murder a tool of government has always been other people's misfortune. So long as I did not actively incite revolution, I could count on being left pretty much alone. I am only just beginning to realise how lucky I have been. I am only just beginning to understand why people who have not enjoyed my great good fortune are so willing to sacrifice just about anything so they can live in a society that trusts them, and has a government they can trust. There can be no sense of insecurity more awful than the feeling that your own government is a vicious, capricious enemy, the biggest and most awful threat to a reasonably contented life. Forget all the other reasons we are given for the waves of migrants we see today: more than anything, they seek a government they can trust. That will leave them be to make what they can of their lives. That will not seek to crush journalists for criticising their open support for another country's racism, that will not drag protestors to court for being against another country's genocide, that will not turn against its own citizens to support land thieves who have convinced themselves their idiot religious superstition makes them more entitled than everyone else. A controlled media, the Zionist responses from lickspittle politicians, the contemptuous refusal to even begin to explain support for the ethnic cleansing of an essentially civilian population, the clamping down on people who dare to disapprove? Not good signs. A government that turns against its own people, especially in support of vicious foreign racists, is not to be trusted. Proving once again: Israel's racism is bad for everybody.
All wars are bankers’s wars. Gotta teach the kids to know better and give them alternatives to putting on uniforms or working for arms manufacturers or the surveillance state. The challenge is that those who create the money steer it to those very things.
The challenge is making people understand that the US has been planning these exact circumstances for decades. They pretend to want peace over nuclear deals, that it's not up to the US to negotiate but hey ho. They pretend to oppose war and make out it's Israel that's warmongering.
It's working even among alternative media.
The challenge is listen to people when they tell you who they are. The deep state run the West. They are big oil, arms, animal ag, banking, tech, pharma and media. They want to weaken Russia and Iran with the goal of weakening their number one enemy- China.
Of course war was logically unnecessary and avoidable.
Logically China isn't a threat, they don't want hegemony, just multipolarity.
The deep state wants global domination whatever the cost.
I also don't know who gave the USA the authority to decide who's having nuclear power and who has not.
When and by who was that agreed upon in the United Nations?
But it shows the mindset and brainwashing of the western population to simply accept that the USA would negotiate the energy future of Iran. It's not just ridiculous to begin with but it's not right also.
Nick Douglas, These were exactly my thoughts when the latest attacks by the Israeli regime rained down on Iran. If all nations on earth had their own nuclear weapon, warmongers will have to at least think twice before provoking wars.
This is why North Korea won't give up theirs. This was why Gaddafi was thinking of acquiring one when he and his country was utterly destroyed. That wouldn't have happened if he had a nuclear weapon.
And anyway who are they - the Israeli regime, the US/West - to demand other nations comply with their strictures, when they have huge nuclear arsenals to destroy the earth twice over?
On a similar note, we were gobsmacked when the Australian foreign minister said about Iran having the capability - meaning therefore it has to be stopped - and for good measure went on to say that Israel has the "right to defend itself" from Iran!!
Yes! Thanks. Agree. It is despicable how the western "empire of lies" or "empire of a$$holes" has no shame. Only balance of force/power allows for some stability (which existence of USSR partially enabled). The old colonial master genociders (USAUKEUAUNZCA) with zionist shitsrael and fascist India are capable and willing of killing billions, if necessary, just so that they can keep on stealing, killing, and destroying our home planet. The so called "benign and altruistic democracies". Human race is finished.
The USSA and the larger "west" corrupting the international justice and security system and UN from the very beginning. As a consequence, you have IAEA giving details to the west and shitsrael about Iran's nuclear scientists and nuclear energy development sites. The entire UN and the "international" system will have to be destroyed and start from the beginning excluding the west.
After the pager attack in Lebanon and the drone attack in Russia recently that were activated remotely, I believe there are things rigged we can’t even imagine. I know this sounds like a conspiracy theory but I’ve thought for a while this incredible control Israel exerts goes beyond the limits of bribery, video and corruption. The air defense system in Iran was destroyed before the attack by these same stealth techniques. Anyone who saw the chilling interview with the Mossad agent bragging how they did it in Lebanon should understand no matter how slavishly leaders around the world grovel, they need to grovel more or they’re next on the list.
If an ethnic group is powerful enough to bring the world to the brink of nuclear war, powerful enough to make us fight wars for them, then that ethnic group must have their power confiscated from them.
Khazarians are NOT an 'ethnic group'.
They are, LITERAL, DEMONS; Satanists!
Demons do not belong to an 'ethnic group'.
This kind of stuff is ridiculous. Jewish people are not responsible for the actions of israel. They are people just like us.
Educate yourself, please!
What we've all been 'taught' (PROPAGANDA), is A LIE!
Dude it looks bad to the west. It just isnt good for the Palestinians
that's AnTISeMItizEMMM!!!
Not that ethnic group - the Anglo Saxon one.
Khazarians are NOT Semites!
They hail from the area, in and around, that is now known as the Ukraine!
THEE ONLY ANTI-SEMITISM going on, is AGAINST the Palestinians, who are ACTUAL SEMITES!
PLEASE, people! LEARN REAL HISTORY!!
What we were 'taught' in SKOOL (spelled on purpose) were LIES!

No, antisionism !
Is Zionism an ethnic group or is it a cult? The Zionists have a huge amount of financial power within the USA.
cult
. . . and all political power. . . .
In the USA, money is power. One dollar = one vote.
Isn’t it an ideology?
Israel is tearing America apart. It is insane how many traitors live in America. They'd sacrit8ce a million Americans as long as they could keep their zionist paradise
Agreed!
Yes, the power must be removed… Easily said, harder to do. But what power are you referring to?
Israël is a US proxy
Cornelia H,
Israel is a US military base — the “unsinkable aircraft carrier”.
https://youtu.be/2HZs-v0PR44
Not everyone agrees, but there’s Zionist Biden’s statement.
Awful
The power of the Jewish diaspora
Not sûre the diaspora is zionist ?
Nearly half of the Jewish diaspora live in the USA. Not all are Zionists. However, many Evangelicals and at least Catholic Joe Biden are Zionists.
englands prime minister, starmer, is not jewish but says he's a proud zionist. (his wife is jewish)
Starmer’s wife may also be a Zionist. A true devout Jew who not marry a Zionist.
I appreciate your sentiment, but Israel does not want ‘peace’ with the Palestinians. Israel is a settler-colonial state with a single-minded aim: to eliminate all Palestinian presence from all of historic Palestine to secure a ‘racially pure’ Jewish state—the cult-state of Israel considers Jewishness to be race. All past ‘negotiations’ were only stalling tactics and image-making to help Israel look ‘reasonable’ to the rest of the world. And look how successful this has been. Anyone who could stop Israel’s settler-colonialism has been actively helping and enabling it.

Y do u talk about Israel while ignoring "the Elephant in the room"?!🐘 Israel would be pathetic with out the good ol' USA!!(Everyone has "gone mad". The Human race is deranged.)
Of course. Please read my latest essay: https://avigail.substack.com/ and beyond. Israel would not exist first without the UK, and for the past seven decades without the US.
And many other nations as well…
Filthy Germany and their pathetic "guilty" complex. Idiotic nation of good professionals with zero morality, compassion, critical, or any kind of thinking skills.
Nick,
I'm not so sure the "guilty complex" was not forced upon them by Jewish lobbies.
You seem to blame everything on Jewish lobbies .......
If Iran leaves israel with making it as dark as Gaza, Jordan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia will be next on the colonization list.
As "dark"? Please explain.
unfortunately
Israel is a US proxy, like Ukraine is. Brought up to hate and despise brown people in the same way the Azov were armed and trained to attack Russian speakers.
The deep state (mainly US interests in fossil fuels, arms, pharma, animal ag, banking and tech) control the mainstream media and parts of the conditioning pervades into alternative media too, like this being Israel's war.
"Israel is a U.S. proxy".... MMMMmmm ??? More like the other way around maybe ?
No. Israel as it currently is would be nowhere without US support. The same is absolutely not true the other way round.
Maybe putting it another way might clarify my thoughts.... Here goes.... perhaps AIPAC, or Jewish lobbies make significant contributions to U.S. legislators so that Israel is well represented in legislative decisions, hence becoming the proxy of Israeli interests ?
Don't forget how many Jews are also politicians ot have the ear of some, too many, politicians, or married politicians in the making and then..
If the Jewish lobbies have money in big oil, animal ag, arms, tech and pharma then yes they get to be part of the group that makes decisions regarding the control of the Middle East and the US's base unsinkable aircraft carrier there.
A U.S. proxy, yes. Don't forget the U.S. official leaders are puppets on a string.
Nope.
“Nope!”
Mmmmm!!! A person of few words….
Well, Israel can't do anything without US backing, so the US can't be a proxy. The US has also been planning war with Iran for decades it's all documented.
Not following your point on Azov, please explain.
Of course those two are US proxies, and the deep state, unelected, unregulated, decides, and rules.
To force Putin to denazify and into the SMO and thus war, same as Israel forced Palestine and Iran to retaliate. To weaken them and gain control of resources, to weaken China.
We are all very much aware of the US's complicity in every evil carried out by israel.
Davina,
Unfortunately, not all are aware of the complicity. Ignorance is widespread and is easily exploited by the masters of propaganda, including AIPAC.
These lobbies should be dismantled, they should never have been allowed such power.
I find it amazing that they pay off politicians with American taxes sent to let Israelus have free healthcare when Amercans Don't get the same privilege
The Supreme Kangaroo Court has ruled that money is “free speech” protected by the Constitution. Logically, bribery is also protected, if it’s done “properly”.
Citizens United happened under Obama, for those keeping score.
https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/citizens-united-explained
“The human race is deranged”.. to put it mildly.
We are shockingly easily bamboozled and led down a wrong path, that's for sure.
Absolutely right. Without the money and arms sent by the US, Israelis would have had to get over themselves a lot quicker, or go back to Europe and the USA.
They should never have been given this piece of stolen land in the first place.
Marci,
"They should never have been given this piece of stolen land in the first place".
"Given" ?? I'm not convinced of that. Bought maybe.... and more likely...
Given during the UK mandate
"Given during the UK mandate"..... Not sure I understand "UK mandate"... but my point was that perhaps the UK mandators were handsomely and privately PAID ...??? which is the probable practice now, so why not Then?
Lord Balfour signed the Balfour Declaration in 1917 in which he maintained that a homeland for the Jews was more important than what the local Arabs thought about it. So racism and colonialism as usual.
Israel is our attack dog in the Middle East. AIPAC is used to keep congress members in line with the agenda.
As Biden said, “if Israel didn’t exist we’d have to create it.”
Oh? JUST the USA and not Germany, Britain, Australia, etc.?
Oh, yeah, them too, of course, All of the "Settler Colonial" countries/governments!!
USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand.
Yes, We the People want to go to heaven. All Jewish people must convert so we can live in the clouds or low Earth orbit? Maybe a Galaxy far, far away?
There is no racially pure Israeli on this earth, they are all a hodge podge of so many countries they can't ever be called pure.
However, Palestinians can claim, validly, that they have eth ic purity going back at least 3,000 years. Israel's claim cannot touch anywhere near 300 three hundred years. They claim six million Jews were killed in the holocaust, that would mean almost all the jews of the planet were in Germany, Poland and France.
You’re absolutely right. The entire idea of a Jewish ‘race’ is absurd and racialism should have already disappeared anyway. But Israel continues to define Jewishness by race regardless of how little sense this makes. I have written about it quite extensively in some of my essays. Israel has been hiding genetic data that demonstrate that its Jewish citizens have no genetic origins in the Eastern Basin of the Mediterranean.
I was born in Israel, and Israel considers me Jewish (I don’t) and I have no DNA from that region. My entire DNA is from Western Europe with just under 1% Neanderthal. I am likely descended from people who converted into Judaism at some point in their history. Although my closer ancestors were not religious they were considered ‘racially’ Jewish by racially-driven Europe.
While the rest of the world has finally abandoned the idea of race ‘science’, in Israel racialism is alive and well and is the main factor determines people’s identity. In Israel there is only one distinction that matters: Jews and non-Jews… It’s insane and incredibly primitive.
True to the core, it's a religion, nothing ethnic for sure.
There is only ONE human race.
More interestingly yet, it is likely that the Palestinians are the descendents of the original Jews of the area, if we look at the order of arrival of the three Abrahamic faiths in the region - first Judaism, then Christianity then Islam. When some Jews fled elsewere, they stayed..... It makes what the Israelis are currently doing all the more wrong and wicked.
What can that even mean "racially pure" ???
Yes, you are right. But eliminating all Palestinian presence is not the only aim. Israël wants to create a much greater Apartheid State. If not, why bombing Libanon, Syria, even Iran ?
To make space to dump millions of Palestinians from the West Bank and Israel itself. Israel can’t murder millions (there are ~6 million Palestinians between Gaza, the colonised WB and the Palestinian citizens of Israel. They’ll kill as many as they can manage and are allowed to get away with. But there is nowhere for the millions of expelled survivors to go, so Israel is clearing territories in US controlled Syria and in Lebanon. They are actually doing deals right now with the Syrian government to remove Syrian citizens from where they are and relocate them from areas Israel wants.
The US is fully aware of this, as it is of everything else Israel is doing, and it is directly helping Israel. The Israeli media are complaining right now that the US has not yet given them bunker busting bombs that they want in order to destroy underground nuclear facilities in Iran. But the US is already giving them everything else.
Israel is by no means alone in what it’s doing and the US is not doing anything and never has done anything that hasn’t served its own interests. In return for helping Israel subdue Iran, (which Israel wants not because Iran has ever been a threat to Israel, but because Iran supports the Palestinians) the US will get control of Iranian oil fields.
The US economy is not exactly going well under Trump’s chaotic regime. So once again pillaging another country’s resources is what the US’s solution. It’s all pretty straightforward. You just need to understand Israel and the US properly. They are always repeating the same patterns. There is nothing new with those two disgusting settler-colonial countries. The rest of the world just has to stop playing ball and pandering to Israel and the US, if we actually want world peace… We need a world where murderous criminally insane bullies are not in charge.
I don't think Israel wants to stop at taking Palestine. They want to claim all of the Middle East, including Iran. We've seen this before.
I firmly believe that too.
Agree. With themselves as the "master race"........
Agree with all of you.
Caitlin knows this very well. As does anyone who does research outside of the comfortable propaganda chambers of Western media. I think she was being dryly sarcastic, pretending to occupy the perspective of a liberal NYT junkie... It's kind of the only way to engage these days. Sincerity is a bloated corpse.
It didn’t read like sarcasm, so I thought I’d mention it here, just in case.
True on reread. Her points are also technically true. The things she does not specifically mention are poignantly present for you and me, but not for everyone. The lie of the American dream, the fundamental unshakeable ethno supremest aims of the Zionist Entity, the unbearable destruction wrought by unrestricted capital accumulation and the grotesque merger of global corporate interests with "democracy." Etc.
I think calling Israel the Zionist Entity is part of the conditioning. It implies that it is self-sufficient, self-governing and could exist independently to the US umbilicus. Nothing could be further from the truth.
That would suggest israel was ever not a state of the Union. We in the u.s. consider israel #1 importance. We want to go to Heaven and the only way to Heaven is if we get all the Jewish people to move to Palestine home of Jesus then ask them to convert to Zionist Christianity. Then poof we all go to the clouds? Or low Earth orbit, Galaxies far, far away?
it has been successful - but now the scales have fallen from millions of eyes, israel will never be looked at the same way again.
IsRealHell conceived in 1904 with Theodor Herzl and Wilhelm II 1898, planned by the picot-sikes agreement 1916, approved by the Balfour Declaration 1917, with finial implementation with the Nakba 1948….. then there’s the redline agreement of 1928 and the Kirkuk–Haifa oil pipeline 1934 and now the Gaza Marine gas field 1999
The DNA doesn’t lie! The John Hopkins Genetic Studies and the New York Genome Centre studies concluded that 97.5% of the “Judaica” living in the Zionist settlement known as Israel have no connection to the ancient Hebrews and neither do they have blood ties to ancient Israel. The study also pointed out that 80% of Palestinians carry ancient Hebrew DNA and blood.
Another study (New York Genome Centre, 2021) revealed that the DNA of modern Palestinians matches that of Bronze Age people who lived in the Holy Land around 2500-1700 BCE.
A third study (John Hopkins School of Public Health) strongly backed the Khazarian Hypothesis, as opposed to the Rhineland Hypothesis of European Jewish (Ashkenazi) origin.
There is more…a fourth nail. In Nov. 20, 2022, the Times of Israel published an article about a study of Israeli DNA conducted by Prof. Shai Carmi. The newspaper quoted Prof. Carmi: “Given that no DNA sequences existed for historical Ashkenazi Jewry, we sought to generate ancient DNA dates for this population. Our hope was to fill the gaps in our understanding of Ashkenazi Jewish early history.” The professor admitted inventing DNA sequences for Israelis. Why not? When you invent a country over an existing country, inventing DNA is a child’s play.
Except in special circumstances, Israelis are not to have their DNA checked. One wonders why.
Now Imagine Britain as Palestine!
Neither Trump nor Netanyahu wanted to avoid this war. The US has been going on about Iran for decades. They pretend they want to do things like liberating Iranian women while never discussing the people, including women, in the US who need to be liberated.
I totally agree with that. People seem to dismiss the idea that the core business of the United States is War! While China, Russia and others are looking to coexist with others and wanting to do business with others, The United States has offshored its business leaving primarily its war machine in tack.
It is something former US President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned the country about as far back as 1959 when he warned the Nation about the Military Industrial Complex (MIC). So now you have a Nation that is beholden to its defense contractors who lobby those in Washington and the Media. They get to build War equipment for the US and the US sells it to the highest bidder around the world. A 1 Trillion dollar a year budget that continues to grow is set aside for the MIC. With that type of budget you need to create and maintain enemies to justify that budget.
They spelled this out very clearly at the end of the last century in their PNAC document, and either the "Pearl Harbor-like" event (spelled out in the manifesto) just fell into their laps or they engineered it. I consider the latter to be more probable. Whatever, their Project For A New American Century launched us on the path to permanent war.
Doesn't mean the weapons are getting better!
“5 countries in 7 years.”
Wesley Clark told us the plan in the 90’s. Iran was last on the list.
Thank you for that, the world would be better off, especially women : )
Americans, you’re getting sicker and poorer as your government deprives you of even the bare minimum social safety nets people in other countries get to have while sending in the marines to quash protests in LA--
Such is the nature of American "exceptionalism."
When Israel started bombing Iran I wrote a piece joking that The New York Times was about to publish a bunch of articles about antisemitism and what an innocent little victim Israel is. Today, as a nightmare military conflict unfolds that Israel started without any provocation whatsoever, The New York Times editorial board has published an article titled “Antisemitism Is an Urgent Problem. Too Many People Are Making Excuses."--
Of course NYTimes has published such, its biases and hypocrises are an URGENT PROBLEM.
Such amazing BS! (re: the NYTIMES. They are so pathetically predictable. And to think i used to worship @ their alter!!)
I will not even read a clip of an article from the new york times, Weapons of Mass Destruction. I am old.
There's still some good reporting, decent stories: consider those their *ALTER* ego?
Nobody of influence and authority personally suffers, and so nobody of influence and authority cares.
That's how the system "works," it's always the insulated elite calling the shots, the little people taking them in the gut.
Democracy, as a practical matter, is basically an exercise in passing the buck, in avoiding responsibility. Everyone in power claims to answer to and derive their authority from someone else, going ultimately back to "the people" who themselves do not directly exercise power, and who would find it difficult to exercise as a collective action problem, even if they had the formal authority to do so. The technical term for this is a "beard".
What this means is that real power is often in the hands of unelected bureaucrats, who typically don't even want to stand for election because they don't want the voters to know what their programs are, much less to exercise any oversight. Robert Moses is the classic example here.
Even that minimal level of scrutiny is too much for some, and real power is often exercised by people not formally part of any government structure. Corporate lobbyists or Robert Kagan come to mind .
It is an old system of separated control and responsibility. The elites have ALL control while the ordinary people have ALL responsibility. That is how everything functions in the "western democracies". A$$holes in charge are never accountable.
What you describe is certainly the status quo. In "democracies" so huge, it is probably "practical" to expect no more than bread and circuses, if those.
Damn, like a punch in the face, thank you : )
Sorry.
I cannot understand what normal self-respecting human still reads/listens to USSA propaganda (newspapers, magazines or cable TV). It is 100% propaganda, manipulations, and lies.
It can be useful to know one's enemies.
My car with Aluminum rims fell into a pothole while we spend Billions to murder Palestinians. I am sure the Palestinians would rather I not have to buy a new rim and tire. Chaos abounds.
Dear Caitlin. Fuck Obama. Fuck Trump. This was planned years ago.
Fuck Capital most of all. Blaming Obama and Trump is similar to blaming Netanyahu. The sickness is never about individuals
“The sickness is never about individuals.. Correct, in spades… war is endemic to the species, and so is conscientious blindness.
Worthy of a thesis.
Yes it was. I think it was called Timber Sycamore.
7 countries to be 'regime changed' Iran is the last.
Of course IF Iran doesn't leave israel as dark as Gaza, Jordan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia are next on the list. Something fun from Little Marco begging the Russians to accept a ceasefire so we can take their oil later. https://ru.usembassy.gov/russia-national-day-2/
Egypt/Jordan and Saudi are owned by USA
Don't forget genocide Joe
Thank you for all your work and stay strong! The Zionist entity has written its death sentence.
You don't go far enough here Caitlin. Everything you put down here is right but missing a very important context.
The American Government is under control of a "Jewish Mafia".
People don't want to address this because they don't want to be called anti-Semites. Well, Aaron Mate, Max Blumenthal, Katie Halper, Norman Finkelstein and others are all Jews and they say that this is "true".
It is a lot of work, but you have to go back to understanding who Meyer Lansky was. He founded "Murder Incorporated" in the 1930's. The US government turned to him to control the waterfront against German invasion during WWII. He received a Presidential Medal of Freedom from Truman in a secret White House ceremony. He founded Las Vegas to launder drug money.
I realize this sounds totally anti-Semitic, but it is anti "Jewish Mafia". Not all Jews are members of that Mafia. Wilkerson stated that the reason Clinton won against GHWB was because of the "Jewish Mafia."
Now we're talking about nearly 100 years of the USA being dominated by the "Jewish Mafia" and just a few references shouldn't be enough to convince you that the sun is going to rise in the East. However, if you pay attention to Aaron Good and his 24 part YouTube series "Empire and the Deep State", you'll start to realize that the "jewish mafia" is a real thing. They assassinated JFK. They promoted the Bay of Pigs. (not all by themselves of course)
Biden's SoS, Anthony Blinken is a member. Victoria Nuland the coordinator of the 2014 Madian coup that lead to the current war in Ukraine is a member. I could go on and on, but you have to find this stuff out for yourself.
These people are the reason we are at war with Iran right now. We MUST remove them from power. We must not listen to their accusations of anti-Semitism because we are actually anti-crime!
I wish I knew how to put this across without sounding hysterical.
The thinkers you mention are largely excellent, and I believe some would take issue with your claim as well. The Israel Lobby is real, but those with power in the US would not tolerate the annoyances without some significant ongoing self-enrichment... even a mechanically reinforced tail could not both wag the dog and stay attached.
The more fundamental domain here is capital. Global corporate interests, merged grotesquely with states, moving as zombies. Forcefully molding new markets as they self-cannibalize. Desperate to maintain profit margins despite dwindling opportunities to exploit natural resources and their peoples.
In this case, Israeli military and AI tech is deeply important to those efforts, as is the ongoing potential for regional operations to maintain the same goals, again. Perhaps it's the Belt and Road initiative's critical components within Iran at the heart of this chapter. Perhaps not. But it's always back to money and power one way or another.
FWIW: were I to have any doubt as to the stance these "thinkers" would take, I would not have mentioned them.
Your metaphor kind of escapes me, but if you are saying "wag the dog" is ridiculous, absolutely. Israel is nothing more than a proxy for the furtherance of American imperialism (hegemony). But you need to understand who the American Oligarchy is. Do a poll of US Billionaires. Finkelstein explained to me that Jews are "overrepresented" in that group.
Capital has become a synonym for "Jewish Mafia". I have no objection to what you say about "capital" other than the fact that you don't acknowledge who it is that (mostly) controls capital.
Read this WaPo article on those Billionaires who threatened American universities. All members of the "Jewish Mafia", but also "American captains of industry". https://archive.ph/u8RUt#selection-773.76-773.92
Your last paragraph makes no sense (to me). Your attempt to drag China into this quagmire is disingenuous. China is not seeking hegemony over anyone. The BRI provides real economic incentives to other nations. It isn't the phony gifts that Perkins outlined in his "Confessions of an Economic Hitman".
Whitney Webb's "One Nation Under Blackmail" describes what you refer to in excruciating detail. The book was mentioned in this blog numerous times by many over the years.
I don't recall Caitlin referencing it ever, though I could have missed it.
You're doing fine.
The Zionist Right (by which we now mean Zionism in general) always knew that they would need war with Iran as a pretext to completely annex the West Bank and purge the occupied territories but that would always involve the direct complicity of US Imperialism which was a big ask - until now. For all that the US and British governments have armed, facilitated and financed Zionist crimes, that now include Zionist genocide, right down the line, full on support for ethnic cleansing on that level was never on the agenda until Adolf Hitler's stunt double arrived in the White House. Ergo, when (as revealed by Wiki-leaks) the Saudis tried to finance an Israeli attack on Iran, with the intent of facilitating regime change, even the Zionists turned them down for fear of antagonising their Imperialist enablers and sponsors. With the US standing full square behind genocide in Gaza and the West bank this is no longer the case. Indeed no sooner had David Lammy and the British government issued token sanctions against TWO Israeli Cabinet ministers (while continuing to help facilitate the genocide) than the US trashed the nuclear negotiations and gave full on Israel attacks on Iran the thumbs-up. The focus now, including that of the media, is on an Iran-Zionist conflict in which Israel is framed as the vulnerable party and nobody knows how many Palestinians have since been killed because nobody is reporting the side-show of genocide any more.
It is all avoidable because all that the Jews who returned to Palestine needed to do was to live WITH the local Arab population. But no, that wouldn't have earned them Uncle Sam's coin in perpetuity, neither would it have allowed Israelis to reenact the Nazi persecutions, only with themselves as the perpetrators this time. Gotta love that whitey social dominance orientation - NOT.
Why do you say "the Jews who returned to Palestine" ? That's zionism propaganda. The Jews who came to Palestine were welcomed and should have integrated practising the ''vivre-ensemble". You know they did not.
That is exactly what I was trying to say, Cornelia. Evidently, I did not express myself clearly enough.
Thank you, Jennifer
Many (most?) of the Jews in Palestine came from Poland and other areas close to Ukraine. The holocaust survivors from the camps were used as cannon fodder and sent to fight the local enemies.
FREE WORLD STANDS WITH IRAN, PALESTINE, YEMEN, RUSSIA, AND CHINA!
Unfortunately for the USA readers and supporters of Caitlyn's work, we already do live in a nation so reviled and hated that people would love to see us getting hit. Not so yet on 9/11, but we've checked off every box since then that would illicit such a response this time around. There wasn't a playbook in existence that was full of more sheer stupidity, malfeasance, greed, immorality, and hubris than the one this government has been following under the uni-party of war, IMHO. Not the American people, but the government. The welfare of the American people is nothing but an empty campaign slogan.
Ugh, I agree with the false flag. Put it on a timer, something really awful is about to happen, and it will be packaged as anti-western Islamic fundamentalism.
Awful things are happening NOW.
Something to definitively manufacture consent for a full-scale US/Iran war? I don't agree, unless I'm missing live news.
The dying US empire is desperate to hold history or at least turn it in their favor. The capitalist class is fighting each other, using the very people they exploit shamelessly and make one group pointing the finger at the other.
Just in the end the capitalist class stays together as one the moment people claim their rights in the workplace, their right to social dignity and participation in society.
When the decline of the rate of profit starts to threaten the capital interests, they have only one way out and that's war! Send the people to war and distract them from their own fight against us.
This game has been played by kings, popes and by the Rothschilds, Fuggers and numerous others.
After the french revolution with the rise of the industrialization, the wars had to become sooner, bigger and more devastating.
To narrow it down to names of certain politician or even countries is missing the point.
In my opinion we see a struggle of the systems, how do we want to live(?) by means like China, a power that builds and constructs by the people for the people or by the western system, that destroys, leeches on the resources of others around the globe and promotes individualism - everyone for themself against all others?
I have always lived under governments that could tolerate criticism. Opposition was allowed, people were sufficiently respected to think for themselves, loonies were laughed at. I have never had to fear that I might be disappeared, or tortured, that my front door might be smashed in, that I could be kidnapped in broad daylight, that even if I was innocent I would always be vulnerable. Violent coups, civil wars, and being ruled by thugs who consider murder a tool of government has always been other people's misfortune. So long as I did not actively incite revolution, I could count on being left pretty much alone. I am only just beginning to realise how lucky I have been. I am only just beginning to understand why people who have not enjoyed my great good fortune are so willing to sacrifice just about anything so they can live in a society that trusts them, and has a government they can trust. There can be no sense of insecurity more awful than the feeling that your own government is a vicious, capricious enemy, the biggest and most awful threat to a reasonably contented life. Forget all the other reasons we are given for the waves of migrants we see today: more than anything, they seek a government they can trust. That will leave them be to make what they can of their lives. That will not seek to crush journalists for criticising their open support for another country's racism, that will not drag protestors to court for being against another country's genocide, that will not turn against its own citizens to support land thieves who have convinced themselves their idiot religious superstition makes them more entitled than everyone else. A controlled media, the Zionist responses from lickspittle politicians, the contemptuous refusal to even begin to explain support for the ethnic cleansing of an essentially civilian population, the clamping down on people who dare to disapprove? Not good signs. A government that turns against its own people, especially in support of vicious foreign racists, is not to be trusted. Proving once again: Israel's racism is bad for everybody.
All wars are bankers’s wars. Gotta teach the kids to know better and give them alternatives to putting on uniforms or working for arms manufacturers or the surveillance state. The challenge is that those who create the money steer it to those very things.
The challenge is making people understand that the US has been planning these exact circumstances for decades. They pretend to want peace over nuclear deals, that it's not up to the US to negotiate but hey ho. They pretend to oppose war and make out it's Israel that's warmongering.
It's working even among alternative media.
The challenge is listen to people when they tell you who they are. The deep state run the West. They are big oil, arms, animal ag, banking, tech, pharma and media. They want to weaken Russia and Iran with the goal of weakening their number one enemy- China.
Of course war was logically unnecessary and avoidable.
Logically China isn't a threat, they don't want hegemony, just multipolarity.
The deep state wants global domination whatever the cost.
I also don't know who gave the USA the authority to decide who's having nuclear power and who has not.
When and by who was that agreed upon in the United Nations?
But it shows the mindset and brainwashing of the western population to simply accept that the USA would negotiate the energy future of Iran. It's not just ridiculous to begin with but it's not right also.
"I also don't know who gave the USA the authority to decide who's having nuclear power and who has not."
Power, that's all.
I will deliver you the entire corpus of public international law in three words:
Might Is Right.
And that is why all other nations need nuclear weapons to defend themselves from the west. Peace on Earth would come overnight.
Nick Douglas, These were exactly my thoughts when the latest attacks by the Israeli regime rained down on Iran. If all nations on earth had their own nuclear weapon, warmongers will have to at least think twice before provoking wars.
This is why North Korea won't give up theirs. This was why Gaddafi was thinking of acquiring one when he and his country was utterly destroyed. That wouldn't have happened if he had a nuclear weapon.
And anyway who are they - the Israeli regime, the US/West - to demand other nations comply with their strictures, when they have huge nuclear arsenals to destroy the earth twice over?
On a similar note, we were gobsmacked when the Australian foreign minister said about Iran having the capability - meaning therefore it has to be stopped - and for good measure went on to say that Israel has the "right to defend itself" from Iran!!
Yes! Thanks. Agree. It is despicable how the western "empire of lies" or "empire of a$$holes" has no shame. Only balance of force/power allows for some stability (which existence of USSR partially enabled). The old colonial master genociders (USAUKEUAUNZCA) with zionist shitsrael and fascist India are capable and willing of killing billions, if necessary, just so that they can keep on stealing, killing, and destroying our home planet. The so called "benign and altruistic democracies". Human race is finished.
But why then are alternative pundits like Caitlin Johnstone just accepting this right of the US to negotiate 'peace' in a country 1000s of miles away?
Because they can. Right has nothing to do with it other than a question of power.
100% 🎯
The USSA and the larger "west" corrupting the international justice and security system and UN from the very beginning. As a consequence, you have IAEA giving details to the west and shitsrael about Iran's nuclear scientists and nuclear energy development sites. The entire UN and the "international" system will have to be destroyed and start from the beginning excluding the west.
After the pager attack in Lebanon and the drone attack in Russia recently that were activated remotely, I believe there are things rigged we can’t even imagine. I know this sounds like a conspiracy theory but I’ve thought for a while this incredible control Israel exerts goes beyond the limits of bribery, video and corruption. The air defense system in Iran was destroyed before the attack by these same stealth techniques. Anyone who saw the chilling interview with the Mossad agent bragging how they did it in Lebanon should understand no matter how slavishly leaders around the world grovel, they need to grovel more or they’re next on the list.
Nothing wrong with conspiracy theories since we are surrounded by conspiracies daily.
A lot of the air defenses were dummy ones and the real ones survived the attack.
