BUY THE BOOK. Screw the fuckers. Make the sales go off the chart. I just bought a copy.

Patrons can make purchase recommendations to the library here. I suggested this not all that long ago, now have it (not sure I, a painfully slow reader, can finish it in time, renewals aren't allowed if someone else has since requested, I got notice it's in demand). I've also suggested purchase of "Israel's Lobby: America in the Grip of a Foreign Power," which goes beyond Mearsheimer and Walt, I note that it's on order. Sca-roo Is-it-real (unfortunately it is presently, some day not far off it won't be).

Thanks for the update.

Exactly! These Zionists are so idiotic that they are achieving the exact opposite of what they set out to do! Go to it!

Aamir Razak's avatar

well said ms ross, there's something to be said for continuing to buy physical books nowadays and read the printed page/word. now more than ever, i think it's a good thing to buy the physical books and read them

Roslyn Ross's avatar

Totally agree. I buy at least 50 books a year.

Aamir Razak's avatar

wow that's great, i have bought some physical books as well this year, will try and get some more before year's end. I wish i had more time for reading though

Why does this surprise you? Gaza is simply a test run, and even as we have allowed to be done unto the least of these, so it will be done unto us.

"...a test run" indeed.

'What can we get away with before American voters wake up', ...ask the genocidists, the Zionists, and the resident supporters in every country (but predominantly in the 'Home of the Brave" ................. 'a.k.a. 'naive').

With multi millions of clueless voters cheering on the narcissist Trump while waving MAGA flags, while 75% of elected "representatives" enthusiastically dance to the Netanyahu drumbeat.

My estimate yesterday of 8-10 years to go before any of this current climate is able to be changed for the better was not questioned by a single comment. We seem to be content to be on the fast lane downhill and now with the impetus of book burning, we have a glaring sign post as we saw in May 1933, as pro-Nazi university students and organizations led coordinated public bonfires across 34 German university towns. They burnt over 25,000 volumes of books deemed to be "un-German," which marked the regime's total enforcement of state censorship and cultural control.

History repeating itself with "un-German" .....now changed with no resistance to "un-Israel".

8-10 years? Yesterday I thought that I could have been wrong with that forecast, but as todays disclosures from Caitlin seem to indicate, it may be even longer with the use of AI as an evil supportive resource, US Data Centres popping up everywhere.

How soon before they equal US Military base numbers of 750+ around the globe?.

Chetzmom4's avatar

The Technofascists goal date is 2030. They need the Data Center/FLOCK & AXON Camera Surveillance CAGE in place by then, and a Cashless Banking System for DEBANKING Bad Sheeple set up.

The Public is waking up fast, but old GENS are slow to change their cemented minds. On a local neighborhood app, I'm still called a conspiracy theorist cuz I don't believe Covid came from a wet market in China. Do people know that Fauci got immunity from BOTH Biden & Trump? BOTH Teams? Nope, I'm a crazy and Trump is a genius for... does it matter?

It is ironic that it is the very old who REFUSE to learn & change, and the very young, who are being AI trained NOT to use critically thinking skills, are the ALLIES of those who would enslave ALL of Us.

I use to read to all our kids before bed when they were little. Then they read to us, and then they read on their own.

Do parents in 2026, NOT read to their kids? Do teachers even use books in classes? How do you break free of the Technofascists if you feed your children's brains to them?

🚫ALL DATA CENTERS ✌️

Charles Lindsey's avatar

F.U. and your ageism. Yes, you are down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories, crawl out, if you can.

Chetzmom4's avatar

Wow. AGEISM??? Are you serious? That is what you got out of my post?

That I am being "mean" to people because of their age?

CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS.

Rabbit hole? Why are you Pro Surveillance State?

WHO are Americans (Australians, Canadians, and Europeans) not allowed to criticize? Can you guess?

WHAT Country are people NOT allowed to criticize?

NOT ONE PEDOE Epstein Billionaire has been arrested in the USA. NOT ONE.

Thank you for making my point by YOUR example.

Charles Lindsey's avatar

Yes, that is what I got out of your caps-locked post. You mentioned those of us who are older in a disparaging manner twice, and you yourself mentioned rabbit holes and conspiracy theories. I just agreed with your own characterization of crazy.

Chetzmom4's avatar

Well, I was born in 1965 so I am talking to people of my Gen and older who, apparently, care more about age than they do about the Surveillance State. Congratulations.

JennyStokes's avatar

100% true. Now it's open season on the US to use Nuclear bombs on Iran. They are old so they have to be tested!

"...Dummy pro-Israel websites designed to be read not by humans, but by the web crawlers that LLMs get their information from."

This is why we all need to get away from AI ASAP. We need to start reading actual BOOKS before they're all scanned and shredded and their knowledge sold back to us on a monthly basis. Or else we're going to fall for this "dummy" information about the evil apartheid regime and other such harmful nonsense. Just say NO! to AI, Israel, and book banning (and shock gloves while you're at it.)

Carolyn Zaremba's avatar

I do read actual books. I have a home library of hundreds of books. AI is for idiots.

John Turcot's avatar

Yes, reality was rare before AI, now it’s headed for extinction.

"Fahrenheit 451", the temperature at which books burn: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit_451

Carolyn Zaremba's avatar

It was part of our reading syllabus when I was in junior high school. I have re-read it many times and also watched the excellent film.

Jude's avatar

Yes excellent book/movie for all the obvious reasons including what people who truly love books did to keep stories & philosophies alive after the books were destroyed.

George's avatar

It is genuinely repulsive to see grown men obsessed with “compliance”. The way the police behave time and again proves that they do not have the emotional maturity to handle authority properly.

Authority attracts those who should not have it.

"French PR firm Havas Media, which runs the lion’s share of Israel’s FARA-registered foreign influence work in the U.S." (according to Politico) is the parent organisation of AFP or Agence France Presse. So AFP isn’t some ‘impartial’ press agency, it’s a subsidiary of a client of Israel. The more you know

😎 dude's avatar

you know and can well describe like this the issues with the other relevant press agency? Reuters I think.

even European countries public funded news seem to be just lazy or obedient school kids copying and presenting. whatever these 2 say. meaning they get to decide what's the hot topics/front page news and basic wording/classification.

I remember that so we'll about then Syrian and afghani refugees started getting on stable safe animal transport ships instead of the often deadly small and tiny and overcrowded vessels. and the negative judgement for and eording of that development. like… “new I humane method” or something.

Israel. The Financial System. Ai Labs.

What do those have in common?

Rodolfo Marusi Guareschi's avatar

All empires, throughout their existence and especially in their final phase, have used lies.

Nick Douglas's avatar

But there were was never more genocidal, stealing, thieving, ugly, and sick empire than so called "western civilization" under supremacist zionist-jewish control.

Rodolfo Marusi Guareschi's avatar

As for massacres, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, the Crusaders, Napoleon, the Spanish Empire, the British Empire, and the United States (Redskins, Vietnam, etc.) did worse.

Davina's avatar

Soory, no, I do not think any country has gone as far as israel and is actually planning to do so much more, to using nuclear bombs on everyone else. You must admit that is hardly a survival plan because they will go up in smoke as well - that is more childish than the kid who takes his bat and leaves. These idiots are happy to end the world if they don't get their way. I say act before they do, thecrest of humanity is more important than these supremacist psychopaths.

Davina's avatar

How funny, israel has never experienced the thought that the simple act of changing their behaviour just might help change the way people see them?

Instead of spending so much of American taxpayer's money on propaganda, when the world is totally aware that they should all pack up and return whence they came. [Notice correct use of "whence" in that sentence ;-)]

X K's avatar

"How funny, israel has never experienced the thought that the simple act of changing their behaviour just might help change the way people see them?"

That's the thought among ordinary people, but they aren't, not only not normal, they aren't people, don't merit being called such. More fitting is to term them "soulless existents."

JennyStokes's avatar

They can't change........this has gone on for far too long. Blood lust/psycopathy and bullies.

Cancel the Zionist Entity known as Israel.

But, israel started with a huge lie and just kept building on it year after year. Another one won't help them at all.

Shocked, shocked, I tell you. Actually not. In your words: " I guess it was only a matter of time."

One, in the 2022 census there was 122000 Jews in Australia. Not all are citezens. My fore fathers fought in two world wars to save these bits of shit. With some not comming home.Theis grubby little race now wants to tell what we can read, what we and cannot say or do. What we can or cannot protest over. Two, I run a small bnb. The rental platform now generates an AI response to all guest inquires, which is very difficult to amend. We are being groomed not to think, not question, and not to have access to alternative information such as books, journals and a balanced media. And who is pulling these strings, a few very rich Jews.

My father also served in WWII. However, since I have been a non-compliant person since childhood, I continue to be non-compliant to this day.

David Baird's avatar

And in 'Straya today, Thursday, they're voting in the senate on extending the already significant powers available to ASIO in 'security' matters, including 'interviewing' without lawyer present anyone down to 14 years of age. If the 'interviewee' refuses to answer questions, they can be jailed for up to five years. Talking about the FACT that you are interviewed to ANYONE including family may be similarly punished. Our fucking prime minister in earlier times spoke of this sort of thing as being characteristic of 1930s Germany rather than a so-called liberal democracy. Now he's pushing it for all he's worth. What pathetic pricks he and his misbegotten government are.

Feral Finster's avatar

Pretend that this were happening in Russia, or any other country that the Americans don't like. The howls of outrage in Australia and worldwide would ne deafening.

But when WE do it, then that makes it okay!

And, it’s my understanding that unlike most OECD countries, Oz does not have a Bill of Human Rights for individuals, so the prospect of being ‘disappeared’ is real.

Chang Chokaski's avatar

Caitlin, the only way I can see us changing the trajectory of the dystopian world we are heading towards is the following:

(1) Israel MUST cease to exist (as the colonial, supremacist, fascist and genocidal state that it is currently)

(2) the U.S. Empire MUST be destroyed/dismantled (this is non-negotiable - there is no lighter version of this).

Even with the above two (for starters), I'm not entirely sure that it will be enough.

Martin's avatar

It is but a start. We all have to start somewhere and your suggestions are excellent.

Terry Newman's avatar

I have heard it said that Albert Einstein once observed: the state of technology today resembles placing a razor blade in the hand of a three-year old …

John Turcot's avatar

True, but Einstein also helped provide humanity with the means to destroy itself.

KaliWoodSGV626's avatar

Einstein also said some really stupid shit, cheated on his wife, and was a Zionist. Now I've investigated the whole notion that "Einstein was a plagiarist" and found it lacking, but I've nevertheless gotten completely numb to inane Einstein worship. Was Einstein a top shelf physicist -- yes, but the whole reason he's viewed as "the smartest man that ever lived" is because of Jewish astroturfing in the media. I've grown extremely weary and unimpressed with someone posting a (supposed) quote by "Einstein" and that supposedly being the final word on reality Because The World's Smartest Man Ever (supposedly) said it (he's probably the most misattributed person ever aside from maybe Benjamin Franklin). Like so many other things, this inane Einstein worship shows how so many people have absorbed the propaganda without even being aware.

Terry Newman's avatar

Sorry, but his comment was insightful. He made it after Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed …

Terry Newman's avatar

No, not consciously. The purpose of his theory was to explain certain irregularities in the Newtonian theory of the speed of light. The question of the power of nuclear reactions was not broached as part of his theory,

John Turcot's avatar

I agree Einstein did not play a dire ct role in making a nuclear bomb. Perhaps I could include a caviat to that perception by adding that Einstein’s equation on energy contributed to the development of its lethal potential. It was not Einstein ‘S responsibility to leave it alone. Nevertheless, we learned as a species that new discoveries can lead to disaster. Otherwise, you are absolutely correct .

X K's avatar

Oh, just some self-indulgent musings on my part…

1) “They seem to be objecting largely based on the title using the word ‘genocide’,” Johnson commented. “But ‘genocide’ is not my word, or my finding. The fact of genocide in Gaza is the overwhelming consensus of the human rights world, and it is a wholly mainstream opinion among those tasked with studying and determining such matters.”

So, uh, what’s the difference between “genocide” and “wanton, indiscriminate slaughter”? Is it a quantitative thing, something like “under 100,00 is a “slaughter,” but 100,001 and above is a “genocide”? Or is it a qualitative thing, if fewer than one-third of those killed are children it’s a “slaughter,” above that it’s a “genocide”? Oh, and means of killing, difference between starvation and outright targeting of pregnant women and shooting kids in the head, chest, and genitals?

2) Israel’s perpetual (U.S.-funded) effort that no evil be heard, seen, or spoken about that illegitimate “state” not only extends to book burning, but also to every thing, concept, conjecture, and assumption about the universe such that all the aforementioned are to be recast in terms “Israel.” No other realities or imaginings are permitted. To wit, in Israeli elementary schools, when the teacher asks, “Can anyone here tell me how much 2-plus-2 equals?” and then little Aaron or Rachel thrusts his or her hand in the air and shouts, “I know, teacher, I know teacher! 2-plus-2 equals Israel!” and the teacher plants a little Star of David sticker on the respective foreheads for the correct answer.

3) Well, the same applies to higher mathematics, in this case the field of statistics, where Israelis now insist that in order to be fair to them, any real truth about them, their society, their illegitimate country actually lies beyond the sixth standard deviation of the normal distribution, approximately 99.9999998% of data points within that range from the mean just being biased and unreliable. This is amply demonstrated by Noa Tishby, author of the NYT bestseller (and to be sure a big hit in Israel) “Israel: A Simple Guide to the Most Misunderstood Country on Earth” and former Special Envoy for Combatting (sic) Antisemitism and Delegitimization (subsequent press runs carry the updated title, “Israel: A Simpleton’s Guide to the Most Misunderstood Country in the Solar System”). This published in 2021, a more recent 2026 publication being “An Improbable Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: Historical Events, Demographics, Land Ownership, and Voices from Both Sides,” “by acclaimed nonfiction writer Steven C. Markoff.”

As the Amazon description reads, “Drawing on historical records, demographic data, land ownership figures, and extensive quotations from voices on both sides, this work presents the core issues of the conflict without advocacy or simplification. Rather than offering a conventional narrative [in other words, actual history and truth], Markoff takes a deliberately analytical approach - mapping key events from ancient history through the present, comparing competing claims, and presenting conflicting interpretations side by side. The result is a structured, fact-based framework designed to help readers better understand how deeply rooted, and how complex, the conflict has become”… intended to obfuscate matters and confine discussion to a Neverland where no truth inconvenient to the Zionist project can be allowed.

Undoubtedly to be named a worthy successor to Joan Peters “From Time Immemorial.” Available now from Hasbara Publications.

Davina's avatar

I'm trying to work out "was it really just one person's complaint that got them to remove the book. Really, just one? In my library it would take many, many more complaints than that, this just encourages this supremacist nutjobs to keep complaining. Time they realised tgey are not the be all in this world, except as their killing and toture, mot forgetting their love of rape.

X K's avatar

I have not gone back to determine if indeed the Zionists have worked things up to such a high pitch there as a result of Bondi beach. Of course, if one were to ask them about countless such roughly similar atrocities carried out by the IDF over the decades, they'd go into apoplectic fits of "How dare you!"

"Time they realised they are not the be all in this world, except as their killing and toture, not forgetting their love of rape."

Important you bring this up. Their psychosexuo-pathological obsessions and fixations are so replete in both number and depravity that they go far beyond any comprehensible context, we've now entered the realm of the primitively, viscerally, biologically, physiologically, genetically deformed and deficient. I mean, we're talking nothing beyond, absolutely nothing, beyond or above the elemental instinct and reflex to fuck, literally, and figuratively.

And they're allowed continued membership in the UN, instead of deserved and necessary expulsion as an example of not even meeting the basic criteria of being a human collective worthy of entering discussion with other nations of the world? That they're allowed to participate in the Olympic Games before the eyes of the world? I mean, c'mon now...
