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

"...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.)

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

"flying cars and wisecracking robot butlers". Love the Jetsons reference; you must've watched reruns. Old series. In the West, we are, I think, a society of clueless George Jetsons.

Don't be silly. Why would you think I spoke for you or anyone else. I surely don't need to be reminded.

"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

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.

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.

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.

Israel. The Financial System. Ai Labs.

What do those have in common?

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.

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.

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 …

Thanks, Caitlin, for the heads up. We need to know what to look out for!

If you are an adult and you needed Caitlin to get you caught up with history, you have not been paying attention.
