Salvador Dali Galatea of the Spheres 1952 • I Throw My Support Behind Donald Trump – RFK Jr (ZH) • The 2024 DNC In 2 Words – ‘Not Trump’ (ZH) •
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle August 24 2024]“San Fran Man Robbed Thousands Of Dollars Of Equipment From FBI Truck, Traded It For $20 In Meth
Be a problem money can’t solve.
I guess RFK sure showed that he’s a CIA plant now! That suing for vaccine use for a whole lifetime only proves it: that’s just what the CIA WANTS you to think. Like Trump, they placed him there doing the #Opposite for 45 years as a mole just to reel you in.
Trump in Danger: Pedophiles fear him. Obviously we vote DNC then.
Anyone have any sub-facts on that guy? His record and aliases made him look like quite a piece of work, is any of this real, the death threats OR the “sex crime”? Sounds like a guy just with poor self-control but not very dangerous in general. Don’t know how to describe that, we don’t have a word for it. Not a grifter, not a hustler, not small time, petty criminal. They’re like arrested development, as is children at 13 for life. Well, any facts would help. And what do these dips—ts say? “Who wants the death penalty for death threats?” No. Absolutely categorically no. No way, never. First of all, you want that for all sides? No you do not, you’re being a partisan dick. Second, what’s a “Threat”? “Said naughty words?” Third, are threats in themselves dangerous? As dangerous as murder? No they are not, they are clearly a serious but lesser crime.
Goes with people so lost their brains there is a Islam going around saying Trump is the “False Prophet” of prophesy. For the love of God, no he is not. EVEN HIS BASE doesn’t think he’s that important, and if you don’t have THEM thinking he’s…important, ordained in some way, then nobody on earth does. They get a word lodged in their heads: TRUMP!!! Then just attach all other ideas in their heads to it. Maybe yes, test fit, because that’s “ideas” but then discern because almost 100% of things are not a fit together, there’s only one map.
“Vivek drops TRUTH BOMBS on the press at the DNC”
Yes, but it has no effect. Same as her lying about the opposite. Trump has been President for the last 4 years and she’s an outsider who will fix the economy and the border. Is she dangerous, or is the danger no matter what obvious, long-term, long-lived lie she tells her people reflexively believe it?
“”The DNC is in Chicago talking about their commitment to voting rights, while they’re spending tens, maybe hundreds of millions of dollars to keep me off the ballot.”
Yes, and their people don’t care, and when they hear it, when they say that, they think it’s good and right and Democracy. Literally. The two now do not have the slightest conflict, and if you sat them down and talked with them, you would struggle for an hour to get even your question understood. No I am not kidding. Fly over and try it yourself sometime.
No nobody knows how this Social Engineering is done, but with torture I expect. That’s why it takes torture to undo it, like Elvie and “V”.
“President Lincoln’s famous “Team of Rivals,” which saw him stock his Cabinet with former foes.”
This is up Trump’s style. But my thought was, “Obama was the Lincoln Presidency”, remember? Are they trying to take that from him, that thing he never had? I don’t think so, I think this is organic discussion.
“President Trump says he will reopen negotiations with President Putin and end the war overnight as soon as he becomes president.”
You mean the war we’re not fighting and we’re not involved with?
“Imagine the son of RFK and the nephew of JFK, endorsing a Republican candidate for the presidency, Donald Trump no less.”
Don’t “Imagine”, and the Meta on this is that it’s weird and ridiculous. …Years after it wasn’t, GOP has been the party of the working class starting 1994, and solidly past-tense in Michael Moore’s “Biggest F-You in history” warning in 2016. We’re now 7 years past THAT and he’s acting like “If we don’t look out something might happen.”
History progresses one funeral at a time, I guess. The only absolute certainty in life is that no one will change their minds. From what they learned when they were eight. Literally they would all rather die, and are in large numbers. Die rather than even THINK a new idea.
“• Why Kamala Harris Won’t Sit For an Interview (Bridge)
I thought we just had this debate, this problem. JOE wasn’t able to debate anyone, so he was removed. Kamala isn’t able to debate anyone so………???
“Harris even refused a single comment to Time, despite offering gratuitous promotion of the vice president.”
She hates the people so much, she doesn’t even want a slavish tongue-bath from them. That’s new level like Narcissism 2.0.
And it also won’t matter. No one notices a thing. Or rather the side that would matter, plenty of people notice, like 2/3rds.
“• End of Hoaxes (Jim Kunstler)
We’re nowhere near the end of hoaxes and he should know that. What assassination?
“Trump had a pretty hardline policy toward Russia. He pulled out of the INF Treaty. He ramped up weapons supplies to Ukraine. So that’s just like an extreme right-wing position that they’re adopting.”
Example: that’s all truth but we don’t do that if we can help it. We do the #Opposite. Automatically, reflexively, robotically. If you tell a Democrat Trump was double-hard on Trump and point out these attributed facts, they’ll call you a liar and ban you for life. Even though ultimately they approve of this, and war, and world war, and nuclear world war, and total human annihilation. …Example, not to be distracted, creator of The Daily Show said she wasn’t Pro-Choice, but Pro-Abortion. Always. ABM, Always Be Murderin’. So they APPROVE of Trump starting WWIII in Ukraine but will still hate, kill, and ban you if you bring it up.
“• US Preparing To Lift Ban On Strikes Deep Inside Russia – Moscow (RT)
I’d say WHO in the “US” but that’s not exactly the kind of release this is. It’s not Biden? So who?
As we’re finally down to news and not the kiddie-cartoon funnies page, Putin also let slip as an afterthought,
“They attacked the Kursk nuclear power plant yesterday. We informed the IAEA.”
But you know, we have important news to cover. A politician lied. News at 11. Kamala bad, m’kay?
“• Crackdown on Ukraine’s Largest Church Is ‘Full-fledged Satanism’ – Medvedev (RT)
No wonder they support Ukraine so much. It’s everything they believe in. ABM.
“• Confusion And Chaos At Factory That Built Two Doomed 737 MAX Planes (ZH)
Even discovered with a spotlight, they cannot return to meritocracy. It’s against their religion to have competence. Nor am I kidding. Following Martyanov, they key thing I get … and of course all along too… is now the KEY item: Ukraine, Britain, even that NeoCon crew hijacking the Pentagon, they are all INSANE. It’s very simple: they all just tell themselves and each other lies. Then more lies, then a generation of lies, then a lifetime of lies. Then whenever confronted, choose again and double down on lies.
We all saw this, it’s not new. “Russia is a gas station with nukes” (With nukes? Might want to look into that shortly.) “One whiff of grapeshot and the Russian army will flee.” I post pages of these from Times Radio and other MI6 ops. Europeans tell me that “Sure, but Russia CAN NOT replace anything that’s being shot up. …They’re still fighting only with 1960s-era Soviet gear.” Here we are, 2 ½ years later, not a single fact has been absorbed.
So BECAUSE of all this, BECAUSE they, the British NATO planners who proudly said they planned the Kursk invasion, believe all this, they just GO FORWARD. With every lie. Russia doesn’t exist. They’re hollow. They have no army. Everyone hates Putin. The whole country will rise up against him, really despite having been elected yesterday with a near 90% approval rating.
It ultimately all means THE ARMY THAT USES THE TRUTH WINS. That’s it. They’re fighting a fantasy, illusion, wandering around in circles lost like Don Quixote, thinking a windmill is an enemy, and an actual attack is a windmill. …And so they cut the whole front lines hollow to take a mere 10k men into Russia where they’ll be surrounded and dispatched immediately. NOT like 250,000 that didn’t even help all Germany. NOT the 800,000 that did no good for Napoleon, one of history’s greatest generals.
When nations want to commit suicide, they go to Russia. …As we already went to Afghanistan, and didn’t completely kill us in national suicide. We had to go find a more certain euthanasia. Well…I didn’t, I told them not to. 10 pinheads from Harvard we were too polite to kill did.
Anyway, the TRUTH is the only weapon of war. Who is ACCURATE and honest in their assessment, and thereby make better actions on the ground. Ukraine may be large but they are daily QUITE INSANE. As is Britain, following them, and the loonies we have locked in the Nuclear booth here in the ‘States.
Speaking of Britain, did Starmer set up white rape camps yet? Seems right up his alley. Kalinovik-upon-Avon.
Anyway, and so Boeing: ALSO INSANE. Making planes IS rocket science, but it’s very straightforward, facts and reality matter. As far as anyone can tell, there’s only one way to make them, with competency and quality control. They are trying to make them in any way that assiduously avoids those two factors, as they are “Truth” and we hate that like crosses, holy water, and cancer. “Truth” would reveal you suck, you’re terrible at your job, a fraud, and should be cleaning bathrooms at IHOP. They would rather 300 people die yearly, and literally do that. Then the TSA, SEC, FBI and Congress approve.
“• US House Oversight Asks TSA Why Tulsi Gabbard Is on Terror Watchlist (Sp.)
I would ask a different question for 25 years: how do you get ON “the list” and how do you get OFF it? We keep “lists” now, like Nixon? Like the Red Scare? So what’s the process to check if I’m on it before booking, and how do I appeal? 25 years later not only does no one know, no one asks. THAT’S THE POINT OF “THE LIST”. Terror. To terrorize non-party members. Exactly the same as the Soviet use of the very same methods, including censorship and confinement to mental wards if you disagreed with The Party.
Where do you THINK they got this playbook from you morons? They didn’t hide it. The Patriot Act is just the Reichstag fire laws translated to English. This is the National-Socialist coming out Party, then they went ahead and DID all that stuff for 25 years while I pointed.
“• JK Rowling Reportedly Sued by Olympic Boxer Over Gender Criticism (Turley)
The boxer has no money to sue on their own, so this is all a setup on an agenda, and the boxer themselves is a hollow puppet and non-person. It’s illegal to have opinions. Internationally now. Would you like to reverse this and go back yet?
“Burn it all”. Now that we’re here, does that terrible, unjust past look that bad now? Or is everything we’re doing now far worse? Ah, but the Ends Justifies the Means!! It will be a Glorious Future of Great Leader under the Eternal Revolution soon, when all the workers will have jam…not like today.
“law covers “stirring up hatred”
WTF does that mean? Tommy Robinson reported on a boring, normal English trial that WAS HAPPENING. His blank, boring reporting of a true thing that was actually, officially, legally happening was “Stirring up hate.” He was arrested. 10 years ago.
The insanity is that they are outlawing YOUR internal psychological state. If someone CAN take offense – their internal, invisible, unknowable mental state – then YOU are responsible. Even if you’ve never met them and that comment wasn’t for them. Why? Because It’s the perfect world for narcissist and sociopaths: they can take offense and be the victim of EVERYTHING, and when they do, they have POWER over you. Eternal, infinite power of life and death. Guess what? I decide you die ‘cause it’s funny to me. La de da!
“A French teenager was charged for criticizing Islam as a “religion of hate.”
But not that Christianity is a religion of hate. And the French calling others “Smelly”? Really the kettle black there.
Europe for Europeans”
Not only that, the Greeks, Russians are the untouchables. Both White and not white, Europeans and not Europeans, but either depending on how we can abuse them more. And the Turks? Roma? Sumi? Serbs? Sephardics? Basques? Irish? “Oh all Europeans are white and good, except for all the others on a list longer than my arm.”
Gee, that doesn’t sound like “White, European, Racial dominance” at all. It sounds like “Whoever has power is good and kills all the others,” white or otherwise.
“Take #2 on “Americans want to move to Russia”:
Until recently you trashed “everything Slavic”, didn’t you?”No. I only trashed certain government systems, same as I trash my own. Russia is a country most like us as a people, or used to be, once, when we were quieter and more rural, like ’til 1995.
Also as comment yesterday, glad to know that, unlike American tourists, Europeans never comment when going to America “They do things differently over there.” Never comment on our “Low culture” that’s different from back home in Italy and France, and never discuss with others, “That’s how we do things back home.”
Wait: pretty sure they do that. And We do that when we go abroad. Because EVERY BODY does that. That’s why you go somewhere else. …But you see it’s different when we do it. Somehow. This is exactly how there’s a bias, a Meta-Reality that the U.S. isn’t some country, — how I see it — but the Center of the Universe!, more important than anyone and anything evah. …Just yesterday, they were talking about “The Election”. I’m like “Election”? You guys just had your election, Mate. Nope, OUR election is EVERYONE’s election. When you say “Election” without context, it means us, the United States, Federal level. WHYYYYY??? WE don’t act like this, we Americans: YOU do. In Britain, Australia, etc. We don’t even want to talk about our own election and it’s ours, we have to. Yet everyone else does, jumps right in. They’re Americans, I guess? I don’t jump into your elections in Oz and Germany, I’d be embarrassed to. But no problem telling us all what to do who we are and how we think. WHYYYY?
YOU: Hey Youse! WE’RE JUST ONE COUNTRY. Stop MAKING us an empire. With YOUR behavior. YOUR focus, YOUR unwavering obedience, attention, and active action. You think if you bow before us and treat us as the Imperial Overlords, these dips—ts will say no? We’re one country, like Canada, Russia, and Brazil. Our elections matter only that much or a lot less.
I think it has this in travel. Well, we’re Rome, the Imperial center, so we SHOULD know better, be different, etc. Are We? Did we? Should we? No we should not, where’d you get that outrageous idea?
Like I said, I don’t care about our elections and I live here. Almost never have because I already know from childhood, nothing they say will occur but the #Opposite, and the Uniparty platforms are nearly identical. But I’m glad we’re keeping you all busy,

Suspending my candidacy is a heartrending decision for me. But I am convinced that it is the best hope for ending the Ukraine war and ending the chronic disease epidemic that is eroding our nation’s vitality from the inside and for protecting free speech. I feel a moral obligation to use this opportunity to save millions of American children.
In case some of you don’t realize how dire the condition is of our children’s health and chronic disease in general, I urge you to view Tucker Carlson’s recent interview with Calley Means and his sister, Dr. Casey Means, who was the top graduate of her class at Stanford Medical School. This is an issue that affects us far more directly and urgently than the culture war issues that are tearing the country apart. Therefore, it has the potential to bring us together. So let me share just a little bit about why I believe it is so urgent.
Today, two-thirds of American adults and half of children suffer chronic health issues. Fifty years ago, the number for children was less than one percent.
In America, 74% of adults are now overweight or obese, and close to 50% of children. One hundred and twenty years ago, when someone was obese, they were sent to the circus. In Japan, the childhood obesity rate is 3%.
Half of Americans now have prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. When my uncle was president, juvenile diabetes was effectively nonexistent. The average pediatrician would see a single case in their lifetime. Today, one of every three kids who walk through their office door is diabetic or prediabetic.
There’s been an explosion of neurological diseases that I never saw as a child. ADD, ADHD, speech delay, language delay, Tourette’s, narcolepsy, ASD, and Asperger’s. In the year 2000, the autism rate was one in 1,500. Now, autism rates in kids are one in 36 nationally, and 1 in 22 in California. The screening has not changed. Nor has the definition. The incidence has changed.
About 18% of teens have fatty liver disease, a disease that primarily used to be found only in late-stage alcoholics. Cancer rates are skyrocketing in the young and the old. Young adult cancers are up 79%.
One in four American women is on an antidepressant medication. 40% of teens have a mental health diagnosis. Today, 15% of high schoolers are on Adderall and half a million children are on SSRIs.
So what’s causing all this suffering? I’ll name two culprits. First is ultra-processed foods. About 70% of American children’s diet is ultra-processed — industrially manufactured in a factory. These foods consist primarily of processed sugar, ultra-processed grains, and seed oils. Lab scientists concoct thousands of other ingredients to make these foods more palatable, more addictive. These ingredients didn’t exist 100 years ago, and humans aren’t biologically adapted to eat them. Hundreds of these chemicals are banned in Europe, but ubiquitous in America’s processed foods.
The second culprit is toxic chemicals in our food, medicine, and environment. Pesticides, food additives, pharmaceutical drugs, and toxic waste permeate every cell of our bodies. The assault on a child’s cells and hormones is unrelenting. To name just one problem, many of these chemicals increase estrogen. Because young children are ingesting hormone disruptors, the average girl in America is reaching puberty at age 10 to 13 — six years earlier than girls were in 1900. Our country has the earliest puberty rates on any continent. And no, this isn’t because of “better nutrition.” This is not normal. Breast cancer, an estrogen-driven cancer, now strikes one in eight women.
Considering the grievous human cost of this tragic epidemic of chronic disease, it seems almost crass to mention the damage it does to our economy. But I’ll say, it is crippling our nation’s finances. When my uncle was President, our country spent zero dollars on chronic disease. Today, government healthcare spending is mostly for chronic disease, and it is double the military budget. And chronic disease costs the economy as a whole at least $4 trillion. Probably more when you consider the indirect costs. That’s a 20% drag on everything we could aspire to. And it is the fastest-growing cost.
Poor and minority communities suffer disproportionately. Industry lobbyists make sure that most of the food stamp and school lunch program dollars are funding processed foods. We are systematically mass-poisoning America’s poorest citizens.
The same food industry lobbied to make sure that nearly all agricultural subsidies go to the commodity crops that are the feedstock of the processed food industry. The policies are destroying small farms and our soils.
The good news is that we can change all of this, and change it quickly. America can get healthy again. To do that we need to do three things. First, root out the corruption in our health agencies. Second, change the incentives of the healthcare system. And third, inspire Americans to get healthy again.
Eighty percent of NIH grants go to people who have conflicts of interest. These agencies, the FDA, the USDA, the CDC, all of them are controlled by huge for-profit corporations. 75% of the FDA’s funding doesn’t come from taxpayers. It comes from pharma. And pharma executives and consultants and lobbyists cycle in and out of these agencies.
With President Trump’s backing, I am going to change that. We are going to staff these agencies with honest scientists and doctors free from industry funding. We will make sure that the decisions of consumers, doctors, and patients are informed by unbiased science.
A sick child is the best thing for the pharmaceutical industry. When American children, or adults, get sick with a chronic condition, they are put on medications for their entire life. Imagine what will happen when Medicaid starts paying for Ozempic, which costs $1,500 a month and is being recommended for children as young as six. All for a condition, obesity, that is completely preventable and barely even existed a hundred years ago. Since 74% of Americans are obese, the costs could be as high as $3 trillion a year. With a fraction of that money, we could buy organic food for every American and get rid of diabetes altogether. We will bring healthy food back to school lunches. We will stop subsidizing the worst foods with our agricultural subsidies. We will get the toxic chemicals out of our food. We will reform the entire food system.
And for that, we need new leadership in Washington, because unfortunately, both the Democratic and Republican Parties are in cahoots with the food producers, Big Pharma, and Big Ag, which are among their major donors. Vice President Harris has expressed no interest in addressing this issue. Four more years of Democratic rule will complete the consolidation of corporate and Neocon power. And our children will be the ones who suffer the most.
I got involved with chronic disease 20 years ago, not because I chose to. It was thrust upon me. It was an issue that should have been central to the environmental movement, but it was widely ignored by all the institutions that should have been protecting our kids against toxins. It was an orphaned issue — I had a weakness for orphans.
I watched generations of children get sicker and sicker in front of my eyes. And nobody in power seemed to care or even notice. For 19 years, I prayed every morning that God would put me in a position to end this calamity. The chronic disease crisis was one of the primary reasons for running for President. Along with ending the censorship, and the Ukraine war, it is the reason I have made this heart-wrenching decision to suspend my campaign and to support President Trump. This decision is agonizing for me, because of the difficulties it causes to my wife, my children, my family, and my friends. But I have the certainty that this is what I’m meant to do and that certainly gives me internal peace even in storms. If I’m given the chance to fix the chronic disease crisis and reform our food production, I promise that within two years, we will watch the chronic disease burden lift dramatically. We will make Americans healthy again. Within four years, America will be a healthy country. We will be stronger, more resilient, more optimistic, and happier. I won’t fail. Ultimately the future is in the hands of God, the American voters, and President Trump. If President Trump is elected and honors his word, the vast burden of chronic disease that now demoralizes and bankrupts the country, will disappear.
This is a spiritual journey for me. I reached my decision through deep prayer and hard-nosed logic. I ask myself, what choices must I make to maximize my chances to save America’s children and restore national health? I felt that if I refused this opportunity, I would not be able to look at myself in the mirror, knowing I could have saved the lives of countless children and reversed this country’s chronic disease epidemic.
I’m 70 years old. I have maybe a decade to be effective. I cannot imagine that a President Harris will allow me or anyone else to solve these problems. After eight years of President Harris, any opportunity for me to fix the problem will be out of my reach forever. President Trump has told me he wants this as his legacy. I’m choosing to believe that this time, he will follow through. His son, his biggest donors, and closest friends also support this objective. My joining the Trump campaign will be a difficult sacrifice for my wife and children, but worthwhile if there is even a small chance of success.
Ultimately the only thing that will save our children and our country is if we choose to love them more than we hate each other.

Ship traffic live :Religion and religious institutional issues are moving SWIFTLY from the Religion Section of the Newspapers, onto the front page, complete with All Caps, Extra Bold Face, and largest font.
Things that have been smoldering on the periphery of civilizational goings-on are breaking out like a convergence of prairie fires that enter the boreal forest and becomes a fire storm generating its own weather.
For example, the Satanic Pope is being challenged (as such!) by an entire wing of the Catholic faithful (a billion people, all told) and that fight ain’t going away until one of the sides loses. For example, the Shroud of Turin has been authenticated as genuine by the most SCIENTIFICALLY rigorous standards currently available, which FACT has tipped an uncountably numerous flock of “agnostic” fence-sitters to the Believer side of the roster, which changes the math DRASTICALLY in favor of those who believe that Jesus was (is) the progeny of the Divine Creator.
This not a small thing.
Events in the material world are going to be DRASTICALLY effected by that shift.
You will be seeing it in the headlines, of course, but more to the point, you will be seeing it in your LIFE.

No not that. Wake me when House Oversight gets to investigating their murder of John Murtha.
Despite all the silencing and infringing of Tulsi’s Free Speech-n-Travel she still holds The Bully Pulpit.No, not that conversation.
Me: I’m gonna run for political office right from your home, right at this table.
Mom: it won’t work. You don’t like public speaking. ((same woman heard/saw her son public speak/perform as valedictory speaker, her mother’s eulogy, QB1 multiple levels, Regimental adjutant before 10000, sing publicly))
My 2 sons in chorus: you ought to hear dad speechify. People like his retirement, graduation and commissioning speeches
Mom: it couldn’t have been easy. He must have prepared. It’s hard for anyone to do that
Me: good ol’ mom projecting her fear of her own shadow and public speaking but yeah I dreaded it coz I’m not a psychopath or NPD. They “love” the camera.
Mom: oh so you have a plan
Me: look! We already know it, campaigning from his wife’s basement, worked for Joe Biden. Most ppl don’t give a shit about anyone’s video-making skills. Most folk sit at home sitting it out at their dining room table….
…..and here we have Kamala Harris doing exactly that, sitting it out just like her current Better and soon-to-be-predecessor
The difference is Harris has 50-odd Percent of the country behind her WITHOUT EVER HAVING DEFEATED A CHALLENGER IN HER PARTY’s state election primaries.
In fact, Joe Biden won ?each? of those primaries by sitting it out. Does anyone remember? Does anyone care?
Can anyone say Coup, Insurrection, Treason, a nonviolent Coup d’etat?

My oh My!
There’s that much more important infringement of speech thing again.
I’m wondering now since we’re now in a hot Civil War was the attempt on Paul Pelosi really just a retaliatory strike on Nancy but she wasn’t home.Spoke with a life long republican yesterday about Isreal. He went on about “from the river to the sea, palestine will be free” as equaling full on genocide
I explained it would mean that everyone has the same citizenship rights
I explained there’s 3 basic options for Israel to achieve this goal:
1. Frog march everyone except Israelis out of whatever border they’ve decided they want and then STOP. But then you won’t have any Palestinians under your control to concern your security state with. Build a continuous wall, do everything you can to keep the status quo and STOP expansion and bombing everyone around you. If you sit tight, MAYBE everyone comes to accept this and you SHOULD stand pat at that point if you got what you wanted. But you’ll have no filthy underclass under your control inside your borders.
2. Withdraw to the 1967 borders. Do #1 from those borders. You’ll be doing the right thing as an added bonus – might keep you a little safer as a result
3. One man one vote. Everybody in Israel AND Palestine has the same citizenship rights, votes in elections covering this entire unified country. Countries don’t attack themselves.
“But Israel is fighting for their lives!”
Well, all the fighting is happening outside their borders. In territory they occupied or have tried to occupy, be it in Syria, Lebanon, or Palestine. They told the Palestinians to move, then bombed the ones trying to comply, then sectioned Gaza up into different surrounded bits so nobody CAN comply and have closed off the border so Palestinians cannot even leave if they wanted to try, which all looks like a very strange sort of fighting for their lives.
“But if we did one man one vote, soon there would be no particularly jewish ethincity nor religion in Israel. There would be no Israel”
If you are saying you support the maintaining the pure existence of religious ethno-states, then this should be openly stated. If maintaining the existence of a religious ethno state is a good thing, say it outright in so many words.
“…”
I see.
“But Isreal won those lands outside the 1967 borders fair and square through conquest and war”
Oh, well yes that IS fine, but then if somebody makes war on you fair and square outside the 1967 borders, don’t come crying to me.
The way THEY see it, they are attacking Israel on territory they are currently invading and occupying, therefore there can be no such thing as Israel defending itself. Point to a spot on the map where Israel is fighting for itself within its actual borders.
“…”
“But they HAVE to eliminate Hamas! They are merely a terrorist organization”
No, they’re the political ruling party of Palestine. They’re the negotiators on the other side of the table. Calling them names won’t lead to negotiation.
Funding and supporting Hamas to supplant the PLO just left them here. They should have just taken up with the actual people across the table at that time – the PLO – rather than just supplanting them AND ENDING UP IN THE SAME PLACE with Hamas and AGAIN pretending they never have to accommodate anything, discuss anything, etc.
Maybe Palestine/Gaza would have become the Belgium or Luxembourg of the Levant Or maybe the Las Vegas or Monte Carlo. Who knows. They won’t let them DO anything like have a port or airport.
“Well, gotta keep it safe”
And how’s that going for them? Quieted things right down, super stable for them due to their correct actions that predictably lead to safety? Eh?

Fighting evil is dangerous work, as any angel could tell you. Many have fallen, and even for those who don’t the temptation is ever present.

We could probably debate the details of feminism….
For me, Ibsen’s A Doll’s House is relevant. A married woman, mother with children, is treated like a doll by her life, and she leaves. I had a part-time Mexican nanny for my kids for a while, many years ago. She was astranged from her first daughter for three decades because she fled a bad marriage.
I did not. I gradually took the reigns of power in my flailing marriage, and used the systems that exist to protect those with less physical power to eject my ex from the home. I kept my house; I kept my children. I couldn’t prevent the state from insisting that the children spend half their time with their emotionally abusive father for seven years until my daughter had carved her anguish onto her body — but I prevented him from increasing it to 100% of the time, mitigated the effects as best as I could, and got her out once she fully found her voice on the issue.
To me, the path that I have followed — one that many women before me and after me follow — is feminism. It is inextricably linked to the indisputable fact that I am physically weaker than men and that I can bring children into the world, that I take on a sacred role to raise them the best way that I can, and that I don’t hesitate to ask for assistance to do it when my own efforts are not adequate to the task.
Feminism is not taking a man’s role, nor pretending to be a man. It isn’t placement on a security detail without having received proper prior training. Those women are hollow and do not know themselves. I can live for myself and be the mother that my children need. It is knowing that my son will be bewildered on his first day of college if he doesn’t know where to go, and setting aside several hours on a Monday morning to ride the train with him to ASU, together sorting out the building acronyms, room numbers, campus map, and walking the path from class to class. (Some may say I should have left my son to figure it out…but his therapist identified him as very, very likely high-functioning autistic many years ago, and I knew from years of observation what he needed in order to be comfortable on his first day of university.). His first day went very well this week. He was confident. He realized many of his peers were half lost, trying to find their way. He knows how to avoid that situation.
I made clear my only practical point is – stop sending Isreal free shit. Free money, free munitions, discounted munitions, free intelligence, free military support, free logistics support, free diplomatic support etc.
“well, but we need Isreal as our ally in the Middle East”
But that’s just for the oil
“Exactly, we gotta have allies in the Middle East for the oil”
Yeah but for decades now our OIL policy has been hijacked completely by our ISRAEL policy. We do absolutely everything about oil in terms OF Israel.
If we hadn’t sent Israel trillions of dollars and bent our middle east policy around them, we could just BUY THE OIL from anyone, anyone at all in power who likes MONEY. And it would end up being a lower cost to us than all the resources we spend on support of Israel, consequences of supporting Israel, etc.
He said “woah, trillions?” in total incredulity and disbelief, like I was pulling it out of my ass and had no idea.
I explained nothing but love for Isreal just no free shit. They are currently doing what they can realistically do given current levels of support. IF we gave them no free shit, they would magically find a realistic thing to do in reality minus free shit. They would. They’d figure it out. BECAUSE they’d have to. And then Isreal would be just as safe as before – due to a change in policies – WHILE we don’t keep throwing money into a black hole.
Or let’s redesignate the Oklahoma panhandle as Israel, move all Israelis to it – not as pioneers, happy to build them new cities, roads, fibre optic internet cables, etc – but they have to give up their intelligence agencies and military – what need do they have for these things in the center of the US – then we can rename that region Palestine and everybody is happy, because Israelis just want to be safe and have a safe, decent place to live, ….right? This fulfils all requirements?
My atheist republican friend was not able to come out and SAY it was because the Oklahoma panhandle isn’t in the bible, but he also couldn’t agree all requirements had been met. Seemed carefully vague on his reasons.
Do airplanes “experience” things?
Perhaps “underwent” would be a more accurate term.
I would argue that, in itself, was a transient “loss of control”. Did Boeing “moonlight” Ethiopians?The new documents also reveal that from communications between Boeing and Ethiopian Airlines, in December 2018, the airline’s 737 MAX experienced an “uncommanded roll”—a situation where the plane rolls unexpectedly, potentially disorienting the pilot and risking loss of control. This incident occurred just weeks after Ethiopian Airlines took delivery of the aircraft, and only a few months before it tragically crashed, killing all onboard.
ELON TO THE RESCUE!
It’s about time- what is that Franklin said about fish and houseguests?Folk wouldn’t recognize Evil if it kissed them on the lips or The Devil bit them full on their ass.
The closest any of you will come to Evil is a minor or mediocre:
1. Borderline
2. Narcissistic personality disorder
3. Antisocial personality disorder
or
4. Psychopathin your path.

There are a few First Nation native Americans who might want to have a say in whether or not to gift or sell the panhandle of Oklahoma to a bunch of exclusively Jewish Zionists. I’m also aware of a fair number of cantankerous cowboys who want might to have a word about it, too.
The difference is Republicans are CAPABLE of hearing arguments. It’s pathetic no one has offered these arguments before, but he can hear them and decide. That’s all anyone is asking. Very likely he will move one step, or more than one, in your direction. (As there is no polarization that all Jews must die, because: why??)
That’s the question isn’t it? WHO decides what “Feminism” means? It means nothing because there’s no definition. To me it means a lot of bad things. I REALLLLLLLLY doubt there were all that many Ibsens in all that many Doll Houses because: money and class, and ALWAYS most women were ALWAYS working — no room for Dolls there, all just made up TV PR from Gloria Stein, CIA agent (proven) If we went BACK to how bad it was then (and I don’t favor that), it would be about 5 times better than today. Thanks Feminism. Also it would be about 20x better for men. Thanks feminism.
So who decides? To me, Feminism means, “All women must be men, or they suck and are failures.” — say all women. No pressure! If you don’t chase money, you’re a failure. If you’re not aggressive, you’re a failure. If you don’t kill people, on sight, you’re a failure. If you don’t work in a corporate office, (for the Patriarchy) you’re a failure. And ABSOLUTELY, TOTALLY, WITHOUT QUESTION, if you have children — EVER — you are the world’s biggest failur and disappointment, a pain that can only be increased by SEEING THEM and caring for them instead of shipping them off to
Ender’s Military Academystate day care, then state school where they can be abused 24/7 for 20 years. If you’ve made the major mistake of children in your life, the least you can do is torture them daily, if you’re just too weak to kill them. For Feminism.That’s the message and definition I got! Feminism can do anything at all! Except be mothers. Wives. Be relaxed. Be families. Be community. Be caring. Be cared for. Be sheltered from the daily s–t show out here. Only if they give up EVERY heroic task of women, that women have always done for 50,000 years, only then do you have any value, and are a “woman”, according to modern women.
…Or so I hear. I might be biased.

@JohnDay
Yeah, I’ld say that an unexpected un-commanded barrel roll of a 737 could be a bit disorienting to its human pilots. Those big planes are pretty much full-on AI controlled in every maneuver, with the “pilot” just being a well educated “chooser” of which automated actions should be performed. When the menu of choices decides to make its own choices the pilot is pretty much just another observer, albeit an observer who is educated well enough to really understand how deep in trouble he really is.
To err is human, but to REALLY screw things up you need AI.
A few billion dollars were once allocated
To a nation abroad for a war-
But don’t be surprised that those funds relocated
To elections at home that need moar.I could never be a good pilot of any modern aircraft. I have too many trust issues with machines. My Dad was an excellent pilot (back in the far distant day when the machines were WAY simpler) and even he was friggin’ OCD about the operability of any vehicle (on the ground or above it) that he was riding in.
One tiny noise, glitch or vibration that he couldn’t identify or account for and that vehicle wasn’t going ANYWHERE until he had figured it out and made any necessary repairs or adjustments. He was a great pilot, but man oh man was he an aggravating passenger.

Yours is the practical guide to life and parenting.
And my summation doesn’t do Yours adequate justice….
…..but what happens when the request for assistance and cries for help go unanswered.
You work with what you have and give what you got until you’re tapped out or your children individuate. Yet, they give and get because those children are also learning from every moment, tribulation, trial and their sole, deliberate contribution to victory.
Thanks for your comment today
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about what a feminist is. The Wonderwoman graphic was meant to be facetious and poking a bit of fun.
I agree with many of your points but unfortunately 4th wave feminism is a toxic waste dump.
The reproductive replacement rate of 2.1 is gone, gone, gone and is so embedded in Western culture, like an assisited suicide medication there will be no recovery.
By century’s end there will be no “Western Culture” left.
Like Latin, it will be a dead vestige, a relic, a vague memory not even taught in grade school and abandoned to the Ages.
RIP
The cultures that survive it will have women’s roles as more historically normal than the freak show of 4th Gen ‘feminism’.
Are We Entering the 5th Wave of Feminism, or Has It Already Arrived?
