It truly is crushingly heartbreaking. Most people have been desensitized by the non stop indoctrination in schools as well as by the entertainment industry. I have never been able to understand how they can murder women and children without a twinge of conscience. They really are psychopaths.

This is true. What is especially horrifying is that people everywhere can see what is happening and yet they still cheer it on. Photos and videos and testimonies are everywhere. It's insanely cruel and brutal.

It's not hidden so no one can claim they didn't know!

The internet has come to put a lie to those who always claim to not have known the full extent of evil being committed in their name under previous evil extermination programmes.. the previous Nazi and apartheid enablers could hide under the cloak of they didn't 'know enough'

Not today's batch of genocide enablers though, and history and their own children and grandchildren will judge them harshly and I hope they go to their graves while gnashing their teeth in regret for all they supported during this time when their own grandchildren will be able to see on the internet archives their gleeful support of demonic evil and then choose to shun them and they die lonely and cut off from civilized society

This is the end they deserve and worse, and if there is any God or justice, that is how the end of their lives will play out and I don't usually pray, but I will make an exception here and pray that their ends will be of a torturous manner that will surpass the agony of the Gazan people's

What fucking demonic filth we are living with in this planet of ours, and I bless the internet for exposing their evil asses for the whole world to see

They even cheered when Trump made a speech stating that he intends to bring in the death penalty for 'antisemitism' by anyone at all in the US, which I post a full version of on my site. Stalin imposed just the same law in Russia, no wonder Trump often wears a red tie and a red hat. They even cheered when Trump said "Four more years and you won't have to vote anymore". I thought they had banned free hot dogs at political rallies in the US.

President Trump gets his orders from Israel and seems to do anything these mass murdering lunatics desire. I have no idea what the Tribe has on Trump, but it must be a doozy. The entire world is witnessing the slaughter of the innocents in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen. Except for a few dozen Neocon moral-cripples, most of the world condemns these actions.

>>"President Trump gets his orders from Israel and seems to do anything these mass murdering lunatics desire."

NO, NO, NO!

This is the typical response from people that seem to have been indoctrinated by "American exceptionalism". The U.S. Empire is EVIL all on its own - from its very inception. It is SOAKED in genocide, slavery, racism, and so much more.

This is FIRST and FOREMOST an American Genocide (and not the first). They have supported and encouraged Israel EVERY STEP of the WAY (for decades now, with few exceptions due to 'managing perceptions'). Israel is the CURRENT TOOL of the U.S. Empire that does whatever the U.S. Empire needs doing (in the MENA region and elsewhere).

It is CRUCIAL to understand this and to NOT deflect the blame away from the U.S. Empire even by a little bit.

I don't buy into American exceptionalism. There isn't too much that is exceptional in a brainwashed population. This doesn't just apply to Americans. Canadians have been hit with the same psychological warfare as Europe after 1945. Our banking institutions, the mass media, and the entertainment world are run by the tribe, and Zionism plays a major part in Middle Eastern conflicts and most of the other conflicts America is involved in.

You seem to have a poor understanding of U.S. history (and economics). America was this way long before the formation of Israel, long before Theodor Herzl's First Zionist Congress in 1897.

To understand the dynamics of this relationship (US-Israel) better, I suggest understanding what made the U.S. into what it currently is (colonization, slavery, racism, genocide, imperialism, terrorism, global economic hegemoney, and more).

I suggest reading Noam Chomsky, John Pilger, Michael Parenti, Vijay Prashad (among other great writers) on the U.S. Empire. Once you begin understanding ALL that the U.S. Empire really is, you will gain a better perspective on the relationships between the U.S. Empire and Israel and between US and Zionism.

Also, I suggest understanding Capitalism better (and how EVERYTHING Israel is flows much from what Capitalism produces - intended or unintended).

US and Zionist Israel’s interests align—control, control, control. Control all the land and the off-shore gas fields that belong to the Palestinians. But the monsters they helped install in Syria will not be controlled for long and China and Russia aren’t run by Israeli lobbyists.

>>"Control all the land and the off-shore gas fields that belong to the Palestinians."

The oil and gas in Palestinian land (and off-shore) is neglible compared to what is available in the MENA region. This is another misunderstood narrative that is often proffered and bandied about. If the U.S. really needed oil and gas, there are MUCH easier ways to obtain it (examples: Iraq, Syria, Lybia, Alaska, and more).

>>"But the monsters they helped install in Syria will not be controlled for long"

I'm not so sure about that. We are already seeing Israel take over many parts of Syria. They installed a puppet in Syria - and it's only a matter of time before they (U.S. and Israel) make more inroads into Syria.

>>" China and Russia aren’t run by Israeli lobbyists."

Please tell me, WHAT exactly have China and Russia done for the Palestinians? If anything, it has primarily been Yemen - the ONLY country that have honestly stood up for the Palestinian cause.

According to some reports (I don’t know how accurate they may be) the IDF has already clashed with the thugs that took over Damascus and taken casualties.

You’re right — neither Russia or China have done anything to stop the genocide. The point I was trying to make was if Iran was attacked, Russia and China would most likely be backing up Iran as allies and they won’t be manipulated by accusations of anti-semitism.

>>"This particular era of evil however, is instigated by dual citizens of Israel for the benifit of Israel....and their own bank balances."

Nope - that is what U.S. Empire apologists want YOU to think.

Until you read enough history on the many details of thge US-Israel relationship, you might continue believing this false narrative.

One book I recommend reading is "The Palestine Laboratory: How Israel Exports the Technology of Occupation Around the World" by Antony Loewenstein (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/121075698)

Some quotes ->

(1) "From an Israeli perspective, the Palestine laboratory has had few downsides. Israel has worked closely with Washington for decades, often operating in places where the US preferred covert support rather than public backing. For example, Israel supported the police forces of Guatemala, El Salvador, and Costa Rice during the Cold War when the US Congress had blocked US agencies from officially doing so."

(2) "From the 1970s to this day, Israel was the trusted sideman of Washington in its goal of maintaining Pax Americana. It was an arrangement that benefited many Western states but less so peoples in Asia, South America, and Africa."

(3) "It was clearly Israel’s desire to be a willing participant in Washington’s domineering goals in Central America in the 1980s. An Israeli minister of economy, Yaakov Meridor, said in the early years of the decade that Israel wanted to be a proxy for US interests where the global superpower was not able or willing to sell weapons directly. “We will say to the Americans: Don’t compete with us in Taiwan; don’t compete with us in South Africa; don’t compete with us in the Caribbean or in other places where you cannot sell arms directly. Let us do it … Israel will be your intermediary."

There is too much to quote it all, but I'm hoping you get the drift.

No one should be under the illusion that the Adelson/Musk President of the United States is anything but a total liar.

He really is so thick that he believes that there is no one outside the White House who has the ability to show the world that he is a liar, that what he has just said was not true and that no one will bother to challenge him for what he has tried to represent to all the puppet journalists as as fact. They'll print is as he has said it, regardless of its fictitious nature. We are at that stage now. Soon to change.

Yes, he does control what the media prints at this stage in his legal occupation of the White House but one can't help but get the feeling that even they are finding the mindless comments he makes as 'questionable', perhaps worthy of a little more journalistic effort as in the olden days,' a time when at least an element of truth was the criteria by which the media was judged.

A long time ago.

Or on the really positive side of our search for truth, when one honest journalistic organisation, a truthful one, not one owned by the Jewish banks or shareholders, finds out the REAL reason Trump is in the White House, how he really got there (other than Adelson and Musk dollars), the information on his past deeds that allow Israel and the US Empire to be able to use him as their puppet on a string and they decide that this is very hot news indeed, a worthy enough story to establish some credibility, overcoming their past corrupt behaviour. They decide to print the real truth.

How he is controlled...and why?

As I have said before on these pages, the above scenario is so obvious when you view the activities since January 20 and with almost four years to run, should there be no change, he will be a total disaster as he brings the US Empire to its knees.

This is EXACTLY what Trump ALWAYS WAS - a conman, grifter, fascist, racist, and a narcissistic and unhinged psychopath. The more this continues, the more eyes will keep waking up (hopefully that also includes the MAGA/Trump cult - though I'm somewhat doubtful about that).

There are only 2 major political parties in the U.S. - the Democrats and the Trumpians (yes, the Republican party has been completely swallowed and taken over by "the cult of Trump").

Quote from the book "Empire And Inequality: America And The World Since 9/11" (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27891123) ->

"The biggest threat to Americans is not external Communism or external Fascism, it’s the organized corporate dismantling of democracy. Terrorism is not a weapon of the weak, it’s a weapon of the strong; it’s just the strong control the airwaves in both the U.S. and Israel, so the terrorists mentioned there are conveniently only the weak. Diplomacy is now labelled “doing nothing” while bombing people and increasing state terrorism is seen as doing something."

They genetically modify seeds so even if we have a garden we are beholden to them for their GMO seeds. Every year they ban more firearms to prevent us from harvesting wildlife to sustain ourselves. When they made the laws so that you can't carry your firearm in plain site it wasn't to prevent thieves from stealing them. It was to hide them so that most don't realize how many people's rights they are trampling on when they list new confiscations as most people don't realize how many of us they are repressing and stealing from. Fertilizer is now carbon taxed to death to prevent people from maximizing their yields.

What Caitlin and all commentators are missing is that Trump truly represents the USA.

H.L. Mencken predicted almost a century ago:

“All the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre — the man who can most adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum. The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

Again :

"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people."

Hollywood 'snuff' films make a lot more money than disney cartoons.

He is giving what the great people of America want to see.

It doesn't matter whether those 'sand-niggers' were soldiers or wedding guests, it is hilarious when they get incinerated. It gives a buzz. Violence and death is a great high.

In summary and conclusion

Though the SPE was challenged in 2018 by

various commentators, I have argued here

that they collectively over-state the critical

case and that the key message and legacy of

the SPE remains intact, namely that situations

in which we find ourselves, the roles which

we inhabit, the behaviour of others around

us, all have very significant effects on our

behaviour and impact our personal agency

in ways in which we tend to underestimate.

Role conformity, identity leadership and obedience to authority all figure as important contributors in a multifactorial understanding of complex social scenarios in which

agency, power and control are at stake.

Given the rapprochement between the SPE

and BBC-PS researchers in their consensus

statement highlighting common ground

(Haney et al. 2018), social psychology now

has the potential to see a flourishing of new

work on simulated environments, as we

continue to learn from the example of the SPE

and from those that follow in its footsteps.

(1) PJ London (or whoever you are), do you know what a troll is? Probably not, since anyone that discredits and debunks your 'opinions' is a troll.

(2) Do you have basic comprehension skills? Can you read and understand simple reports? Probably not, as shown by your understanding of the presented links

(3) Are ad hominem statements all you've got? You've already LOST the argument

(4) Do you understand what 'the replication crisis" is in scientific and academic research?

(5) Do you even know what 'gaslighting' is? Providing scientific facts (like climate change is real) that go against people's biases and narratives is NOT gaslighting - it's just plain FACTS and SCIENCE.

Do your own research (and find your own links). Do a search on "Stanford prison expirement debunked".

Of course, since you abhor critical thinking and are opposed to any facts that go against YOUR beliefs and biases, I don't think more information will make ANY difference to a person such as yourself.

Since you expect to be SPOON-FED, here is a direct refutation for you:

(1) "Far from being swept up in the situation, archival sources show the guards’ brutality was rehearsed. Contrary to official accounts, before the experiment they were coached by the research team in how to create a psychologically hostile environment."

(2) "Zimbardo gave the guards a list of rules to impose and procedures aimed at dehumanising prisoners. Once the experiment began, staff encouraged guards’ aggression and reprimanded those who were too lenient."

(3) "Neither the prisoners nor the guards responded in the same way to the situation. Some guards played their role with zeal. Others sympathised with the prisoners, smuggling in food and cigarettes. One quit."

(4) "The experiment was terminated because it was at risk of failure."

There's much more - all you have to do is READ and apply critical thinking - but I understand how that may pose an insurmountable challenge for you.
