After reading Caitlin's review of "Earth's Greatest Enemy", I bought it from Vimeo so that I could share it. It should be required watching for every politician and CEO who is part of or who supports making money and more money. War and more war. Especially for Americans and Israelis, but really, for everyone. It is not an easy, fun watch, but it is the sad truth. I have been thinking about it all day. Trump and all those too afraid to call him on his insanity are directing the US military and supporting the Israeli military thereby being complicit in the destruction of the earth.

Trump and his hordes are deconstructionists. In the worst way. Psychopaths on steroids.

And Boy George dosent research.

Bibi and maniacal Zionists instituted every psychological program they could manufacture to ensure Hamas attacked.

Damn right, Cal. Boy George is a child. Still. Pathetically thick. The scales are actually falling from the eyes of people around the world, despite the best efforts of NaZionist propagandists. Given the utter misery inflicted by the IDF over decades, if you don't hate the State of Israel, you're a fucking psychopath fellow-traveller. They've spied upon, blackmailed, and bought, and used more politicians in 'friendly' countries than anyone could have thought possible. If Israeli Jews don't want to be hated, they might think about not electing representatives whose whole existence is malign. They might perhaps realise that their ardent desire to wipe out, or exploit, the goyim, is not making a lot of friends these days. It's simple - the more Israel's genocidal behaviour continues, the more justified the hatred of them becomes. If Jews around the world don't want to be hated, started screaming at your mother-fucking mother-country!

"There’s actually a very healthy explosion of Israel hatred."

Indeed. It's an appropriate reaction to a livestreamed genocide. Boy George is a psychopath if he has the opposite reaction to the murders of innocents.

So they say that Moses didn’t get to the “promised land” because he murdered someone. How does this make sense for zionists?

Also, when this “promise” was made, was it made in anticipation of a kingdom? Or a democracy? Or just an ethno-state?

Asking for a friend.

It's about the common spiritual premise you find in many different religions of keeping faith and hope alive. But it's not suppose to be interpreted in literal terms. It's just a story, a parable. That's what these fanatical, blood dripping freaks don't get.

Love you all

Actually, I think heroes are not needed. We all need to be fighting the fight and not relying on heroes. Once someone gets to be a hero there is all this adulation and cowtowing and others end up diminishing themselves as they pay tribute to their "heroes". That is not to diminish Caitlin. She is with us, fighting. Gathering information. She does not need to be worshiped, I don't think. Admired, but not made into a hero.

You see, guys and gals want to be heroes. So they go out and search for that fire breathing dragon. They ignore all the stories about how nobody has come back from the dragon's lair. They go in there - planning to be a hero - and then get eaten alive. It's gruesome! And ... the end.

You want to know why there are so few heroes? Because the dragon ate them.

“Trump Inherited Peace Deals But Torched Them For More War”

The headline, tweaked a bit, actually goes back much further, one notable stopping point along the rocky way being Dumbya, who inherited a budget surplus, and lost little time in squandering it in tax cuts for the have-mores, and self-anointing himself a “war time” president (complete with a bust of Churchill in the Oval Office) with the circular logic of his invading Iraq and Afghanistan, war crimes. He left that as inheritance for those who came after him. But neither international law, the budget, nor the Constitution mattered to him, a distinguished alum of Harvard Business School.

Boy George. Oh, boy… Some time ago he made a big to-do (i.e. publicity ploy) saying he had six months to live. The reason was never clearly explained, some suggestion due to his drug addiction, in which case seeing as that pretty much comes with the territory in his line of work, not much one can say other than, “Gee. Tough s***.” So the reason for the announcement more likely had to do with flagging publicity and loss of interest in him, in any event he didn’t die. But he has kinda gone well past his sell-by date nonetheless.

“This right here is why we’re being force-fed so much hot garbage about ‘antisemitism’ these days. You’re being told there’s a dangerous explosion of Jew hatred to cover up the fact that there’s actually a very healthy explosion of Israel hatred.”

The final published version of the Balfour Declaration in 1917 ran to only 67 words, its consequences still unfolding to this day (July 2, 2026 marking the 1000th day of genocide in Gaza). In 2026, here in just 42 words, Caitlin has economically, and quite unequivocally, laid out one of them. What is that they say about “what goes around…?”

ON Point. Caitlin I could not have laid it out mor clearly .Zombies on Remote Control as the devils children Zionist pulls and manipulate the strings as we slowly and happily march to our doom anticipating the 'Rapture. .Gods children must be elated. Be aware of those who say they are JEWS but are not, but are of the 'Synagogue of Satan'. They are Rapture Ready

A confused animal can be the most dangerous, often striking out

unpredictably, out of terror, or disoriented. A link in Caitlin's article led me to this: the US/Saudi attack on Iraq, "The US and Saudi Arabia launched major airstrikes in Iraq overnight, targeting the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), a coalition of mostly Shia militias formed in 2014 to fight ISIS." So now the US supports a former ISIS.al-Qaeda leader in Syria but is bombing (killing 20) a militia formed to fight ISIS.???

It gets more confusing. Trump said the attack was coordinated with Iraq" but Baghdad strongly condemned the strikes, with Iraq’s National Security Council saying they “resulted in a group of innocent martyrs and wounded.”

It gets murkier: "The attacks were launched over claims that Iraqi militias targeted oil infrastructure in Saudi Arabia, though Yemen’s Ansar Allah appeared to take credit for the attacks, and the Islamic Resistance of Iraq, an Iran-aligned Shia coalition that includes PMF militias, denied responsibility."

So those who claimed credit for the attacks on Saudi Arabia, a designated terrorist group (the Houthis) are ignored while a branch of the Iraqi government that Trump claims gave permission for the attack is bombed: The Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) as a whole is an official Iraqi state security organization,and it recognized by Iraq as an official independent governmental security force under the Prime Minister, receiving state funding.

So what we have is the US is now at war with Iraq,

and thy say that only mad dog and Engishmen go out in the midday sun.!

Summary: Trump having trashed a well-established nuclear plan with Iran, in his mission to undo everything that upstart Obama had accomplished, has

attacked Iran with no plan nor exist ramp just in time to goose

up gas prices, the obsessive metric by which Americans judge politicians and on which they vote, and losing the strategic war on Iran, having killed and destroyed but leaving the new harderline Iranian regime in a commanding position and the US stockpile of weapons so low they are allowing Iran missiles to destroy billions worth of planes

and bases, without firing them down, in a kind of premature ejaculation orgy, now limp.........and now, like a bull confused and full of rage, Trump has attacked our ally Iraq, in a blind fury ( The Epic Fury war against Iran now a lost cause and the November elections with them, ) striking at friends and then lying about it.

If you are not a US citizen, you have no idea of what torture we are experiencing with this malignant con-man with a lust to murder in charge of the sinking ship of state.
